[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I acknowledge that OP isn’t alone and my heart breaks for all of you, but I can’t relate. Maybe it’s because I’ve had a objectively really difficult life: ACES score 9, stalked by two different men (neither romantic partners) and kidnapped by one, abusive first marriage, secondary infertility, medically fragile child, almost died 4 times, diagnosed with three serious chronic health conditions, sexual harassed at work, witness to horrific workplace violence, adult child raped, second husband diagnosed with colon cancer, abusive father has dementia... all of this has pushed me to find joy where I can. This year has seen my parenting repertoire expand and my family is even closer than before. It opened my heart to open our home to a boy who needed a forever family. I’m not glad that the pandemic happened, but I don’t wish I wasn’t parenting.[/quote]

Why do you assume that none of these posters haven't also dealt with stuff like this? You have no idea what other people are dealing with on top of the pandemic. It's incredibly privileged to come out of this year and say you've enjoyed it. [/quote]

I'm trying to imagine being so out there that you feel this poster is "privileged". [/quote]

NP. I'm sorry for all that PP has gone through, but [b]I don't know how this is helpful. [/b]OP is struggling and your response is a list of your trauma followed by saying that you can't relate to them and that you are a better parent than ever? I don't see how this is helpful to OP, or relevant. Tone deaf at best, narcissistic at worst. [/quote]

Totally narcissistic. Next time that pp should keep scrolling if the post doesnt apply to her.[/quote]

Some people don’t want to hear “find joy where you can” because that is hard work. Since this is DCUM, the safest advice is probably to throw money at a problem.[/quote]
