Someone’s been to Texas

That’s what you think

Equally important to remember that this has nothing to do with the ‘quality’ of the Texas electric grid because Texas it’s superior to all other states in every possible way.

Erectile dysfunction: inability to get an erection when you have the desire to be sexually active.

Asexual: Generally not having a desire to be sexually active.

The two are not related nor does one indicate the other.

Or you just have some physiological road blocks that you need to work through via therapy.

Using the term ‘handicap’ implies limitations out of their control, which I don’t think is true. For most of them the more accurate term would be ‘willfully ignorant.’

I totally agree. It makes me so happy to see this new generation that’s completely redefining what fatherhood looks like.

This thread already has so much great advice that it made me a bit teary eyed reading it. I don’t know if I can contribute much but I’ll try.

• 90% of parenting is just showing up. Your physical, mental, and emotional presents will mean far more to them than anything else. That’s what will make them feel valued and loved.
• Fuck gender norms. Regardless of if your child wants to learn to sew, fix engines, or both, embrace it, encourage them, and be there with them every step of the way.
• They don’t really have any perspective on things so small things to you are huge things to them. Don’t just dismiss their feelings.
• like everyone else said, listen to them. Like really listen every time.
• Don’t over think it. If you’re asking these questions, your head and heart are already in the right place. Trust yourself.

You won’t always know what’s wrong with your daughter or what she needs but if you listen to her, like really listen, she will tell you which is so much more important.

In the long term, her being about to tell you things will make her feel safe and validated, it will strengthen your bond with each other, and it will help her develop the emotional intelligence to express herself in a healthy way that so many kids are missing these days. It’s win win win.

Or have a child and love the crap out of them like they deserve.

What is a better alternative, aside from just buying the media directly?

Taking the expression ‘going out on top’ a little too seriously….

One persons nightmare is another persons fetish.

Before legal fees and taxes of course.

Assuming the mother/baby don’t die in the hospital waiting room bathroom because the hospital refused treatment.

And antagonist unfortunately….

In my opinion, therapists are like friends. You’re not going to be friends with everyone you meet, in fact, you probably won’t want to be friends with most people you meet. It’s hard finding good friends but once you do, they make everything a little brighter. Just like friends, it takes time to find someone you really click with.

You’re right, they can’t fix your problems or your environment. That’s not what therapy is about. It’s more geared towards helping you recognize your own thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that are not serving you and adjusting them to serve you better. For example, a therapist might help someone to recognize the early warning signs and triggers of a depressive spiral so they can take proactive measures to prevent falling into a dark well of depression. No one can eliminate depressive episodes, but you can learn to recognize it and actively work against it taking over your life.

I hope that helps.
