Hey all, sorry I haven't been around lately. Hope everyone is well. Figured a lot of things have happened, and one thing of vaguely poly-ish interest in particular, so... But first a recap on the family! My older son is 20 now. It's freaking me out. I shall have to update my sig. So Ninja...

Right?? Thank you. Well the meeting with the girl's parents did not happen. They had some relatives make a surprise visit. She asked if she could give her father my phone number, and I said yes, and I already have her Mom's number. Right now I'm willing to abide (I do have other things to...

Well, well. I guess I'll be meeting with the girl's mother on Saturday, though she insists that she and my son be present. Interesting. And my reaction to her dramatic declarations being, "I need to speak to your Mother" did produce an interesting result. She told my son yesterday that...

Stuff keeps being dramatic, complicated and stressful with regard to my son's girlfriend. So her parents, for Christmas, gave her one gift. A suitcase. (Ouch.) And they told her then, that she would get nothing for her Birthday (which was in early January) except the ability to live with...

Oh god no... Radio signals from outer space?? Please, please let the aliens NOT make their first open and official contact with my species during a time that we've got a Great Orange Dipshit as a world leader...please no... Things that keep me up at night. Would he try to build a giant bigly...

It's been a while. My son is still in a relationship with the girl from back in...October?... She turned 18 today. We will see if my prediction that, given a new world of adult options, she chooses to bounce and find an adult to help take care of her, or stays with my son, who won't be 18...

(...continued) In all ways, monogamy is really the best fit for my life now and for the foreseeable future. Though compared to most, it's more monogamish than monogamy. We're only limited in the sense of "no genital contact." I could have many other kinds of love, play, and closeness with...

(...continued) Not really. Mostly because he is an EXCEPTIONAL fit for my needs, and I found poly to be wonderful in many ways, yet ultimately not fitting into my overall life well. I just did not have the time and energy to keep up the pace of trying to be a good girlfriend to a number of...

I haven't been on for a while, but I'll respond to this from last month: "Hello Spork This is edpsy77, I am newbie on the forum. I recently read a post of yours that said you had poly inclinations but you remained monogamous for your man. You felt you did not have a strong need to have sex...

Early mornings at work are weird. I get here before a lot of my coworkers, but there are two women who are here early too, and it's one very dark skinned lady of Latina-appearing ethnicity who is middle aged and an old lady with a strong German (I think?) accent, and they both apparently love...

*SHRIEK!* HOBBIT MUSIC OMFG!

Eeee! I'm all tingly. I found this song on my Amazon prime music thing, wandering in search of new Halloween music last month, it was a cover of "Spooky, Scary Skeletons" and it was a very cool metal version. I noted in my mind to check out the artist at some point, because the music, AND his...

*sigh* I wrote a rant but then I changed my mind about it. Being judgmental about how other people live is not nice. It is none of my business (THANK GOODNESS) so nevermind. I am just grateful, so grateful, for the extent of control I have over my own little haven of a home, and mindful of...

Indeed, Tinwen. Sometimes I seem pretty eager for the kid to grow up and get on with life and with being his own problem and not mine. But I tell you, being with him as he tries to figure out how to navigate this, it makes me scared. I love my kid. Life is hard. Love is hard, too. So...

So life has been...yeah. I had the police show up Sunday night. Q had left the house earlier while I was in the shower. I didn't know where he went, but assumed he was seeking to meet up with his girlfriend, since he's been doing so whenever possible lately. But what was really going on...

Well I survived my Mom's visit. She should be back in Arkansas by now, or getting there. It was funny...I am always wary of her "give an inch/take a mile" tendencies, so I love her, but with reservations and boundaries. She called about this visit and I was excited, I mean, none of my...

Thanks. I'm trying, but it's hard. And sometimes as I've gone through the world, seeing people turn out better or worse no matter what kind of parents and home life they had...I just don't feel like there is a formula for this. It's frustrating to know you can do things as "right" as you know...

Thank you Magdlyn, and yeah...it's been a struggle. I'm deeply afraid, deeply saddened and afraid, that my precious little child he once was, has been twisted into narcissism by his father's influence, and mine as well for my role in things. Not only for staying with him so long, but for...

I haven't posted for a little while, because things have been tougher than usual and my life has been chaos. Long story short, Q was in a mental health facility for 5 days. He lost his virginity to a girl the night I was at a GWAR show in Denver, which would have been Wednesday the 10th...

Yes, things could be MUCH worse. I have known boys who got to this age, where they are physically bigger than a single Mom who is trying to parent them, and actually became violently abusive. I've known plenty of kids who were getting up to far worse trouble than either of mine have, and who...
