My mom was married for around 5 years when I was under 10 to an abusive narcissistic man. He recently died (condolegrations to me) and I'm struggling to figure out how to categorize my relationship with this person. What term would you use?

My mom married her second husband when I was 6years old and they were together for 13 years, also a narcissist. I considered him my step dad at the time because that's what my mom called him. Since they divorced he's considered my mom's ex husband. I never felt in my heart of hearts that he was really a father figure to me and he's such a POS that now as an adult I would never refer to him as my step father.

If you feel like he was a step father to you then I think that's a fair title but otherwise I would just say mom's second husband

This was me except they didnt split until I was in my 20s but if cut him off before then other than for handovers of my younger brother if he stayed at mine for the night while my mum was away. I dont refer to him as anything other than "dickhead" or my brothers dad 😂 unfortunately he is still alive.

I’m so sorry you seem like like you have been through a lot
I keep hearing and reading about people working from home while looking after a baby or toddler.
No judgement, I’m just genuinely curious about how you manage this?!
What type of jobs do you have? And do your work place know you do it?
Also what is your reason for doing so, not wanting child in nursery or not being able to afford to?
I work from home, in a finance role and couldn’t imagine to be able to do both.

I’ve been taking sertraline for around 3 to 4 months. Since taking them I feel like I’ve completely lost my sex drive. I really don’t know what to do. Has anyone else had the same? How did you fix it?

did anyone NOT take vitamin D tablets in pregnancy and everything was fine? I’m stressing as I’m 34 weeks today and have only JUST been told by my midwife I’m supposed to be taking vitamin D tablets everyday😐😐😐this is my first and I honestly had no clue.

I’m really looking for honest opinions! I wanna know if this app has worked for anyone. I’ve always had a really hard time making friends. I am neurodivergent and I’ve struggled to fit in let alone make friends. I really wanna try something different and that’s why I downloaded the app, especially now that I’m a mom, but I genuinely don’t even know who I am now so how do I make friends? Would genuinely love to hear some of y’all’s stories/suggestions!!!
