Man, there are so many bigger things than us

[Starrlight]

It makes me feel small yet we are also magically important. Let’s pay attention to all that nature today and to people and animals who may be going through a lot of pain as we stroll by and maybe we could lend a hand or say a prayer.... let’s forget ourselves today... and if you are one who is suffering so today may you be blessed and please tell me what I can do for you. ❤️

I am suffering today. Tired of watching my husband be mean to our 13 year old daughter. Nothing she does is good enough for him. And he’s the uneducated, closed minded loser. He doesn’t even notice how much she tries to avoid him. Like you said yesterday, I think she feels stuck

[Starrlight in reply to Iammesues]

Have a good talk with both of them. Communication can be the key At least for you and your daughter. Maybe your husband won’t respond the way you hope but.... But you can try to have him see in another’s perspective the best you can. God I’m just so sorry you are going through this! I have a 13 year old a 25 and a 9 all boys ... when my 25 year old was around 13 he was rough on him and it really hurt our son but my husband was being a jerk and dumb to see the effects, or sick. Anyway things got so much better over the years and are just fine now. I wish this for you guys too. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ sending out good vibes((((((((((((((((((

Teenagers are so fragile. They only want love and support, not criticism, judgment of what they eat, critique of their acne….He’s a jerk and I don’t want her hurt anymore

[Starrlight in reply to Iammesues]

Ask him how he would feel if he was told by his father these types of critiques and see if he will be willing to picture that and feel that and change his ways

[Iammesues in reply to Starrlight]

He was treated like this by his father and 2 older brothers

[Starrlight in reply to Iammesues]

Oh wow. That’s rough. So he knows how it feels So he’s keeping the cycle going. Well it has to stop. Have you thought about asking him to leave the house?

[Iammesues in reply to Starrlight]

Yes I think about that constantly. But if I ask him to leave, then he will get half custody, and she will have all that alone time with him where I can’t step in and tell him to stop being mean

[Starrlight in reply to Iammesues]

😞 true

[Starrlight in reply to Starrlight]

Would he go to counseling with you do you think like family counseling?

[Iammesues in reply to Starrlight]

Maybe. Would be a special counsel to get through to him

[Iammesues in reply to Starrlight]

That is the reason I live this way

[Starrlight in reply to Iammesues]

Family counseling- ya think?

[Starrlight]

About your husband treating your child badly?

[bluestars725 in reply to Starrlight]

Oh no, I meant what you posted about there are so many things bigger than us.

[Starrlight in reply to bluestars725]

Oh yeah it really can make us stop and think.

Hi Starr light. I am debating whether to do an online course on Social Anxiety. I was wondering if anyone has done one only online, and how was it. I feel I need to equip myself to facing the big, bad world again after lockdown.

Hope you're doing well Starrlight.

[Starrlight in reply to Roxylox]

I think that’s an awesome idea Roxylox!!!
