More real than the notion that something as complex as existence came from nothing.

Not really, but hold onto that.

If the ex is so abusive why are you allowing a child to stay with him?

I'm clearly allowing my son to stay because I think he's in a safer situation...

Note that was sarcasm. There's a reason, but I don't need to get into details.

I know. But unless you're in a similar situation you can't possible understand. People bring up children as if someone doesn't already think about offing themselves would do to them.

They also bring up loved ones and friends.

My standpoint on suicide is much different than others. But I understand what you're getting at.

No I can’t understand. I don’t have kids.

I have been suicidal tho and I have somewhat come out the other side.

Tho the darkness still has its moments. I just don’t want anyone to think that’s their only option. There is always another option.

I think you said the court ordered on here it before mmm

But I may be remembering that wrong

What do you have?

You came from nothing and at death you RETURN to that void?

Why the void? Why do people foolishly believe nothing otherworldly can exist without a magic monster that created it all?

Nah, I believe in an afterlife. Just not the Christian afterlife.

Mmkay, I won't even ask why someone abusive was chosen, since most of the time it's way easier for the mother to get the kids.

Elaborate on your vision of the afterlife please.

It's really hard to get out of that mindset. I should have been treated as a child but the moment I was smiling again, they figured I was okay. I had been having suicide ideation since I was 12. I am still alive right now for him, doing what I can to show everyone the real person my ex was.

I'm glad you've managed to step out of it some, it's a forever battle. I also thank you for your understanding, without getting angry. Most do.

Courts make stupid decisions all the time

Consciousness can exist after the physical form and it opens us up to other planes of existence. That's all. No "you go here cuz you gave to charity". All that is irrelevant.

I had mentioned working on a emergency child pick up order. They never responded to me, nor took it seriously. Given you can literally look up his name and mugshots and see 'domestic violence battery' on his arrest.

It's troubling. He texts me from time to time telling me how I failed him, how he's better off without me, how I should kill myself.

Given recent situations which were highly traumatic, I had actually listened to him and tried. Shame on me.. shit's hard man.

Yeah the same with me. I should have been treated when I was a kid but everyone thought I was ok and then later on in life it all came and smacked me in the face. The damage is done now and I’m trying my best to fight it.

I wish people understood that anger doesn’t help anything.

I get it can be frustrating when you try tell someone that things will get better and they say they won’t, because when you’re in that space you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. It feels like nothing will be good again.

It’s hard for ppl to understand if they haven’t been there themselves.

Don't we all envision the afterlife from our own perspective? It's not like we can talk to someone from the dead and ask them. We won't know until we are dead. It's nice to stay open minded by it, but we can't know for sure.

I'd like to envision my afterlife as being with my loved ones only. Not a bunch of people I don't know.

Some do, but my mind was changed via experiences. I was brought up that heaven is full of fluffy clouds and meadows and if you're super duper nice you go there.

Later on I learned consciousness matters and it continues on, but not in the way I was taught.

We more than likely just continued on, constant reincarnation through parts of the universe. I've thought this over so many times.

I want avocado rn

I’m definitely treating myself to avocados when I get paid

I think it's more of perhaps an echo of yourself that reincarnates.

Almost like if you scanned your brain and all the memories into a computer. It wouldn't truly be you.

“Giving increases happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in the life of the giver. We were not designed to be creatures of selfishness. Instead, we were designed to seek and discover happiness in loving and caring for others. And those who decide to look for fulfillment there, quickly discover it.”

Unless ur Welshy that is.
