I'm a single mom and I think I will probably die alone
2024.11.25 22:50 Medium__Bobcat I'm a single mom and I think I will probably die alone
I am a 32 year old single mom. I got divorced when he started being abusive. I thought I’d be married for the rest of my life. And I’m struggling to see a happy future for myself now.
I see the extreme hate for single moms on the internet. How they are "damaged goods" and all sorts of other mean, awful things. My short time on dating apps showed that many men will want to sleep with the single mom, not as many want to date her.
One of my kids is on the autism spectrum. She's great, but she can be very explosive. Lots of meltdowns. I know not many people will want to take that on.
Also, I'm just not attractive. I have a mom bod. I have been chubby since I had kids. I recently lost about 30lbs and though I look much better in clothes now, I look worse naked. My boobs are sad and deflated now, the guy I've been seeing said I lost my big butt which was apparently my best feature. I have an overhanging apron belly (which it always will be, my abs separated during pregnancy and no matter how skinny I get, my stomach will have that overhanging pouch) and its covered in stretchmarks and loose skin. Its genuinely horrendous. I have to avoid looking at myself. What man will ever want that? Small boobs, big stomach, not a great combo. The guy I'm seeing recently told me that he thinks of other women during sex.
My face isn't much better. I'm super asymmetrical. I have a huge nose. Gap between my teeth. I just truly feel like any guy who is with me will feel like he's settling. Will be imagining other women instead of me, wishing I looked like them. And none of them will ever settle down with me, because my life is just far too much and I'm not worth all of that. I dont have a great job or any special talents. I have ADHD and I know that can make me annoying sometimes.
I'm a very sexual person and it seems like every time I do get in a relationship, the man stops wanting much sex after a while. My marriage was a dead bedroom. He preferred porn to having sex with me. It's hard not to take that personally. The currently guy I'm seeing used to tell me I needed to lose weight and now that I have, he seems less interested in sex. Suddenly not getting as hard, struggling to finish. Guess losing weight in your 30's after having kids doesn't make your body hotter, just makes you saggier. I’m almost tempted to put more weight back on even though I was overweight before. At least I had better boobs and butt.
I'm trying to tell myself that I don't need a relationship. That I don’t need to be attractive or desirable to men. That I need to focus on my kids and myself and be okay with that and accept it. But I get so lonely and all I've ever wanted is a happy, healthy relationship where I'm truly loved and respected. I want to model a healthy relationship for my kids. It's all I want in the world and it feels like it will never happen for me. I do truly feel like damaged goods. I wanted so much more for myself and my kids.

2024.11.25 22:50 Classic-Mix-4261 Is honesty the best policy
Starting to feel like lying might be the best answer. I have been told by my dad that I’m too honest for my own good. So which one is correct.
I’m 34, don’t actually need anyone telling me what to do…BUT,
I wouldn’t want to be lied to yet everyone (especially family) is duplicit, two faced, and lies through their teeth. I’d actually think my solution would be to bring them all together and tell the truth or lie in front of everyone if they feel like speaking ill

2024.11.25 22:50 BGodInspired Stewardship of Creation: A Divine Call to Honor and Protect Our Earth
https://bgodinspired.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1732574444.png
Devotional: Stewardship of Creation – A Divine Call to Honor and Protect Our Earth
Scripture Reading:
Genesis 1:26-28 (NIV): “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’ So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.’”
In the story of creation, we find profound insight into our role as stewards of the earth. The very first chapters of Genesis remind us that we are not owners, but caretakers of God’s creation. The privilege of ruling over the earth comes with the responsibility to honor and protect it. As beings created in the image of God, we reflect His character—not only in our actions but also in how we interact with His magnificent handiwork.
Stewardship is more than a duty; it is a divine calling. God entrusted us with the care of His creation, inviting us to participate in His ongoing work of sustaining and preserving the natural world. Every tree, river, and creature is part of a delicate balance created by God, and it is our responsibility to ensure that this balance is maintained.
Educational Insight:
According to scientists, our planet faces unprecedented challenges—climate change, pollution, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. These issues not only threaten the Earth’s ecosystems but also the well-being of humanity. As stewards, we must educate ourselves on these challenges and take proactive steps to mitigate our impact on the environment.
Practical Steps to Honor Creation:
Encouragement:
As we embrace our role as stewards, we may feel overwhelmed by the challenges ahead. It is easy to become discouraged amidst reports of environmental crisis. However, remember that change begins with a single action. Your efforts, no matter how small, contribute to a larger tapestry of hope and healing. God delights in each step you take toward caring for creation, and He empowers us through His Spirit to continue this work.
In the beauty of dawn, as the sun rises to paint the skies, let us take a moment to appreciate the life around us—the rusting leaves, the bustling wildlife, the expansive oceans—and let this wonder inspire us to act. Together, through prayer and action, we can answer the divine call to be stewards of creation, protecting the earth for future generations and glorifying God in our stewardship.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of creation. Help us to appreciate its beauty and diversity and to recognize our responsibility to care for it. Grant us wisdom and courage to make choices that reflect Your heart for the earth. May our actions honor You and contribute to the healing and restoration of the world You have entrusted to us. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

2024.11.25 22:50 hypercat2044 washed my hair with SOAP and it was better?!
The last few days ive been showering with soap on my hair because i havent been able to go buy some shampoo, and surprisingly it made my hair just kind of better? I usually shampoo once every other day because my hair gets oily fast and when i do i comb my hair back and let it rest, most of the time to not say all the time my hair its always super straight with no texture so i have to put some powder on it and try to style my middle part because the center is always pretty weird. But when i used soap and just comb my hair back it seems like the hair just styled the way i wanted. with the hair on the sides going back and my middle party very up and with texture all over my hair (i have a VERY grown out modern mullet with a middle part bangs) . Is there a way to explain this to know whats going on? Also the hair seems a little rougher and not as soft as it is before which i love.

2024.11.25 22:50 Anxious-Attorney97 Struggling with guilt
In the summer before my 1L year, I worked for an attorney who is now disbarred. It was my first legal job and I knew nothing about the rules of professional conduct. The firm practiced criminal defense and PI. Part of my job was meeting with clients who were behind on payments. I was instructed by my boss to tell the client they were meeting with him to discuss their case when they were really meeting with me to discuss payments. If a client’s charges were dropped, I was instructed to not tell them that their charges were dropped and tell them that their case was still active and he would withdraw if they didn’t pay. If a client didn’t pay, I was yelled at, told I was “too fucking nice” just like my mom.
On another occasion where a client didn’t pay, he told me to get in his car, he locked me in to yell at me about how I was the reason he would go out of business because clients weren’t paying and I was too nice to get them to pay. He accused me of listening to their excuses when a client didn’t pay. Another time he grabbed my stress ball from my hand and threw it across the office.
He would never meet with prospective clients, I did. If the client asked where he was, I was instructed to tell them that he was training attorneys across the country. He said this would make him seem more valuable.
I feel awful for complying with his instructions and feel like I don’t deserve my license. It’s been over 6 years and I still have flashbacks to working there. I had my performance review recently and I was shaking from the flashbacks, even though the partners said it was a safe space and I was doing well.

2024.11.25 22:50 YouKnow1099 I Am in Need of Diet Advice
Here’s the thing. I’m a short guy. I’m a tad bit overweight, and eating at a calorie deficit. According to the TDEE calculator, I should eat 1800 calories every day to lose 1 pound a week.
I’m doing everything I’ve researched. I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The meals are around 300-400 calories, and each meal has at least 30 grams of protein, if not more. The problem is, i’m still hungry.
Even with eating 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, and 40 grams of fiber, and 4 days a week at the gym (mostly strength training, with a little cardio), I still find myself to be hungry. I do have snacks in between, usually a snack a few hours after lunch. (Like a protein bar, or something else), and a few snacks after dinner.
Is there something i’m doing wrong? Did I just lose the genetic lottery? Do I just hunger more than the average person? What do you guys think I should do about this?

2024.11.25 22:50 Successful_Read_1622 Accepting My Fate
I'm just venting I guess.
I came to.the conclusion the other day although I've bern.thinking about this for some time that I guess I just need to accept the fact that I will never be comfortably middle class.
Before anyone says i can impruve my situatuin with hard work .let me explain..
I'll be 48 in January so I'm already middle aged. I don't have a college degree nor am.i inclined to get a 4 year degree at this age.i don't want to be like so many middle aged adults who go into major debt getting degrees then no one hires them due to.age. I'm also a Black woman, I'm not thin., And I have some chronic health issues. I'm divorced no children thankfully.
The truth is that had I known how my family dynamic was going to.play out (not having a partner to help with expenses) or that my dad would become disabled the last few years of his life and need care, and a few other decisions I definitely woukd have done things diffrent. But I can't go back and change things.
So I work in.an.occupatuon that doesn't mind if I'm older, chubby, and don't look like a model.They don't look at me like dirt on the bottom of their shoe even though I present as clean and well kept. It doesn't pay particularly well but it's a job.
I'm a caregiver for a home health agency. I sit with private duty clients at home who can afford 8 and 12 hour shifts for caregivers paying privately. Those cases are few and far between.so I also do Medicaid clients and sit with people as a patient safety attendant at a local.hospital. people who are a threat to themselves, cognitively impaired, and/or a fall risk. Itt can be hard work and often dirty work but I'm gainfully employed.
Physically I'm not able to.stand for hours on end so working in a hospital or nursing home as a nurses aide is out. Warehouses are out. Most retail jobs don't suit me either.
I've applied for patient registration and the few clerical.jobs I can do but nothing yet. I completed a course and got my Medical Administrative Assistant certification. I also completed a nursing assistant and home health aide course and that sector seems to be where I'll be employed.
I need the flexible schedule to get to my Dr appointments. But all I can really afford is a small apartment in a not so great area. Home ownership is not within my reach. Unless it's a trailer and that won't be brand new. I'm on the list for low income housing and it's still up.to.2-3 more years of waiting time although I've been on the list for 3 years. Average time for a 1 bedroom.unit is 5-6 years in my area for public housing.
This isn't how I thought things woukd go but it is what it is.

2024.11.25 22:50 Admirable-Sleep519 Rear seat buckle alarm
Hi yall! Is there anyway that I can disable that at some point. It’s fine most of the time and when I do have ppl back there which is some what often. But when I put objects back there either when no one or someone is back there it senses stuff pretty light like a donut box or something similar. It gets annoying because most of the time I fill up my trunk doing daily tasks and it’s nice to put things on the seat but then it goes off thinking someone is there.

Is an urn just a nice box?
Or does it require something more?(idk what)
Does anyone have any experience making urns that could share some insight? Or hell, anyone at all?
Thank you for your time
