How old are the children? My experience with older kids with RAD was very, very traumatic.

Yes, I have 2 lifelong friends that know my whole story. I can talk to them about whatever. I have a few newish friends that I'm working towards a closer relationship with. I'm hesitant due to CPTSD and intimacy is difficult for me - but I am trying.

I'm super confused by this too. What does a heeled shoe mean? I don't get it.

Non-descriptive is all I found when I Googled too. I think I'm glad. LOL

Aren't most people on this forum married? I'd expect that most things would have been discussed or tried or rejected at one time or another....

What kind of issues make it so you can't have your bra off around your kid? Would he even notice?

So...he lied to her to get her to sign? What a jerk.

Infection!

aww depends on the relationship! I am still super close to DS's ex-girlfriend and we've totally room together. lol

Yes, we would.

I'd gift her a gift certificate for a one time deep cleaning service and, if finances would allow, would offer to help weekly or bi-weekly with that service too.

This is just so vastly inaccurate. Even short amounts of time with a disordered person can cause immense amounts of trauma.

I think it's way better big and in the front! But I do think it's your responsibility since you didn't verify.

I've definitely experienced a mourning period with DD12 starting high school this past fall. I miss her. I miss homeschooling. I miss a lot of things. But she LOVES school, and she is getting different sorts of challenges, and conquering them, and it was the right decision for HER. Sometimes it still hurts.

I could see it being appropriate in some college classes, possibly.
