All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wishing you minimal tsuris, Teppy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hope all went well, Steph.

Yesterday we took Mr. S to the county fair because he wanted to ride the rides. (When we were in CT we went to Ocean Beach which has some carnival rides along with, you know, the beach) Mostly went ok, until the point we were getting ready to go when he got upset about a) not getting to ride more rides, b) wanting to see the animals(which we let him do), c) being too tired to walk back to the shuttle to parking and d) having to wear a mask on said shuttle. All in that order. We ordered take-out instead of going to dinner since we were all tired and frazzled.

Wishing you a compliant and rational dad, Tep. Just this once.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thinking of you, Teppy, and hoping for the best possible outcome.

My elder daughter is married and moved out now. Unfortunately, after the last event I let on that I was overstimulated and not feeling well which seems to have made my wife angry with me. Now I feel like I've ruined everything. It's so stupid because I KNOW not to let on about how I feel and I screwed up anyways. I hate myself so much. I just need to get with it and hide any down or negative feelings and not ruin anything else. Aside from my stupidity, everything went smooth and I'm very proud of her. Her husband is a good guy and they seem very happy together in their little apartment. Like me, she is on the spectrum and charge is hard for her, but so far she seems to be doing very well. It will take some getting used to. Seeing her cleared out room is still a bit of a shock every time I go by.

Best wishes, Steph. It sounds like such an overwhelming and difficult situation. Don't forget to take at least a little time for self-care.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats on your daughter’s wedding, Gud! Best wishes to her and her husband

I just need to get with it and hide any down or negative feelings

Uh, that doesn’t sound like a good idea

Yeah, how about divorcing your psycho and abusive wife now that your kids are moving out?

Our wings are not tired.

Sending much resolution ~ma to house of Teppy's dad.

Gud, loved ones aren't supposed to get angry with you when you aren't feeling well. Period. You aren't stupid. People who get angry at you for being overwhelmed are heartless.
