Omg that is so deliciously hard core ! ^
I didn't get the full details but it sounds like he really treated you poorly towards the end from the loose gist I got in dating thread.
Yeah, once I got the positive test I was pretty overwhelmed and didn't even want to post an update until I got it taken care of. I'm pretty sure he was abusive and that his true colors were starting to show the last 2-3 weeks we were seeing each other.
So by receiving the ultrasound is he gonna think you're still pregnant? He will shit a brick LOL.
I also enclosed a pamphlet they gave me at Planned Parenthood that had a number to call if you need psychological support after an abortion. And I wrote in the card that it would have been a beautiful child, but it wasn't worth a lifetime of drama.

^ SUCH a fucking bummer I have to say about his " turn " !!
Remember though ..... I was saying he seemed to be showing some of those red flags ( but early ) !! Barf.
What really made me think that was when you were caught in some sort of loop " explaining " yourself which is so transparent / start of abuse tactics.

I'd say you handled it great really. IF he is a narcissist it will infuriate him that you didn't include him in the decision.
Just be careful / keep a watch out for safety ect. which I'm sure you already are.

Yeah that was ridic, looking back on it...I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to say the pregnancy wasn't his!
Before the thread gets derailed I'm also grateful I live in a state where Planned Parenthood is well funded. Grateful there's no bullshit "counseling" or 24 hour waiting period here, just a one stop appointment. Grateful that the state health insurance pays for it here! Grateful that I had a family member who was able to get 2 days off work to take me to the clinic and babysit me the day after. Grateful AF that I didn't take the test until after homeboy broke up/blocked me, so he didn't know/couldn't intervene.
Most of all, I'm grateful that now I know I'm still fertile AF at my "advanced" age!

Oh yeah that reminds me of one more thing I'm grateful for, my super cool landlord. I don't think he will come here to fuck with me since he knows I live with someone (and she is well connected in the community). Plus she was super cool about the whole situation and loved my revenge idea.

Thank you. My father was a psychopath who raped and trafficked my older sister and me,so I had to put in a lot of work to make sure the cycle was broken and my son didn't turn out the same way. Cuz there is No way in hell I am raising a child abusing rapist.
When I see him treat his female friends respectfully it makes me wanna cry. Even more so because kiddos father was abusive to me as well
I hope you're feeling better given everything you're experiencing right now. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I am 47 and am wondering if I can still get pregnant. I still get my cycle.

sorry to hear your father was like that to you n your sister
My gynecologist said he’s delivered for women all the way up to 47
I’m sure you could even into 50 cause I’ve seen some celebs do it. Probably gotta have some money and fertility treatments.
IF you want one biologically then go ahead n do it like now.
If ya need one, I’ll be the godmother lol!

Thanks Miss AP. My father was an asshole, glad he is dead now. Hard for me to find a good guy. The man I was seeing is too focused on getting his own life together to even want anything to do with me. I have one great kid so I am grateful for that.
Unless a miracle happens, I don't think I will have more babies but if I do, you can be godmother hee hee!

I am grateful for my new home. The gals here have been so nice and welcoming. I enjoy having a laugh with them when I see them in passing. In time I'll hang out with them more, just I want to be vaccinated and I am healing from a lot right now. They are cool with not being intrusive. One of them just gave me a bottle of vitamins, which was awesome BC I really needed vitamins. I love how clean and quiet it is here, how they give me food . I am buying handsoap for the house tomorrow as a nice gesture. I am not gonna tell them i was a dancer for 15 years, but I know I am allowed to have my boundaries. It's My personal business. I like these gals and would like to keep them as friends. They are really kind people. And their cat is cute too. So happy and grateful to live in a good home. I love this area too. You'd think people would be snobby but the folks here are nice and just pleasant, civilized, classy people. I wanna move kiddo up here with me.

So I am playing that Von's monopoly game and when I do my grocery gig at these stores, I get craploads of monopoly tickets. Today I won a gas card, a bottle of water, a bottle of vinegear, Kraft salad dressing, a salad, 2 boxes of pasta and sauce, and an avocado. Yay! I love free stuff!

Grateful that the owner of the shithole I lived in called the Slumlord and demanded that he refunds the money he owes me ASAP. Owner was so nice and I hope Slumlord listens as I really don't want to take the owner to court, because he was such a doll.
Grateful I got my funds into my account 20 minutes before my car payment went through.
Grateful for the nice lady at the grocery store who let me go ahead of her AND gave me her monopoly tickets. I wound up winning a bottle of salad dressing and a bottle of water. I really hope something extra nice happens to her today.
This is turning out to be a good day.

I gave away some old pet things on Nextdoor and I dropped them off in the city tonight. I had asked for pickup in the ad but she would have had to take the bus. And this women was SO sweet and nice and had the cutest little Yorkie. We exchanged numbers and I hope we stay in touch. She's one of those just super genuine good people.

My front desk guy saw me at the hotel that is cute. Right when he saw me he threw his hands in the air "Welcome Back!" We started talking about music that was playing. "Was this song YOU that put it on?!" Bahaha. Obviously it wasn't him that was playing the soundtrack. He's all "Oh I got the Beiber fever!" A girl can dream :P!

New doctor ordered bloodwork last Friday. I had been worried about my kidney(s) since my issues started up again (a couple years ago when this was happening, they found one was swollen and neither test they ran revealed a reason so they just let it go). He ordered a metabolic panel just to check on kidney function.
Super grateful they called me first thing Monday morning and that everything was normal. Makes me less anxious about going for the CT scan he wants too.

That’s funny I’ve always pictured you as a blonde...guess I was right if you use the purple conditioner!
I’ve been deep in the broken heart feels all week and this morning I was too sad to make myself breakfast so I went to the dunkin drive through instead... the person in line in front of me paid for my food! That’s never happened to me before I feel blessed.

^^No, I'm brunette, always have been. I just don't like the reddish tint my haircolor leaves so I have to use purple conditioner to tone it.
I'm sorry your feeling down. It's the little random acts of kindness that people do that are huge.
I am hoping that later today that the property owner will refund me since Assmunch won't respond to my messages. We'll see...

I’m just grateful to be alive. Have you that Disney movie Soul. I love kids movies because even though they are for kids, they have some important themes that us adults need to be reminded of. The theme is that’s life’s not about when you get there, it’s about the here and now. I’m grateful for the little things in life like going for a walk, having a cup of coffee at a cafe, the miracle of life is all around us. I’m trying to appreciate the everyday gifts of human life.

For funny moments. I'm laughing so hard right now. I got a clean sheet and laid in one of my dogs bed to show my 2nd dog (whose been having leg problems and getting up) how comfy his bed is (he's been refusing to lay in it) and sure enough mister needy dog has parked his booty on the dog bed I'm on once again. LOL .
I'm hoping this encourages him so it eases the leg pressure compared to laying on a hard wood floor...it's hard for him to stand up and I'm not sure if it's from his past acl surgery, his weight, or needing the other leg surgery done? I tossed some toys around the yard which may have made it worse for him today? He barely played though. I've been having to carry him to his bed lately (He's 105lbs) and manages to get off the bed and just lays on the wooden floor.
