My best work friend is leaving, how do I cope :(? They were by far the closest person I had at the firm. I’m happy for them and I know I’ll build the relationships I have with others, just sucks..

For the lawyers: my ex-wife has become aggressively anti-covid vaccine, absolutely refuses to get our kids vaccinated & has become more accepting & invested in conspiracy theories.

I’ll talk to my attorney, but he’s pricy 😂. Is this pro-conspiracy/ anti-science & fact pretext to challenge custody in an effort to gain primary?

Hi everyone. Wanted to get your thoughts on this situation. I was in an extremely toxic relationship with a narcissist for over 10 years. The trauma and abuse resulted in responsive abuse meaning I would turn into a person I was not proud of. I could “justify” some of my actions because I was in survival mode at the time. All of this trauma resulted in extreme depression and anxiety especially in regards to romantic relationships (I now know I have an anxious attachment style). Continued below..

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 
Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily.
Love does not remember wrongs done against it.  
Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth.  
Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. 
Love will never end.
Humbled, convicted, but thankful. Our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit love us this way!
