A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

She left us. And hey, if you don't want to be in someone's life, you have the right to just leave. And I'm not saying she should have stayed, if she wanted to go. All I'm saying is, maybe your kids deserve at least a hug goodbye, mom. Or maybe even a note? Especially since we didn't have a dad either?
That's so heavy, how did you two stabilize yourselves after she left?
Stabalize? Hahaha what's that? Seriously though, even typing it here makes me want to cry. How do you get over your mom (and dad) not wanting you?
We did the best we could, grew up, and built our own families. And you better be damn sure my kids don't leave the house or go to bed without me giving them hugs and kisses and telling them I'll miss them/love them. They might go "daaaaaad" and sigh like I'm being super embarrassing and wasting their time, but when I'm dead and gone, they'll never wonder if they did something wrong to make me not love them.
Whew, I think I need to go look at some funny videos or something after that! I wasn't expecting to get teary on Lemmy at work!
Oof. Sorry man.
