@watsonspodcast Adoption is complicated, sure, but reducing it to grief, expense, rejection, and shame makes it sound like a miserable transaction instead of a way to build a family.
@watsonspodcast I disagree! Keeping it a secret to them doesn’t automatically make it a shame. There’s a timing for everything, tell them whenever they’re ready not when they’re too young to absorb such information.😒
@thefbtcpodcast Being handed a hard life doesn’t automatically make someone inspirational. At some point, you have to stop romanticizing suffering, take responsibility, and actually do something instead of waiting for faith to fix everything.
@realjudas73@thefbtcpodcast No need to ask. Just disappear because clearly, they’re after on what they could gain from you, not because they consider you as friend but because you’re of use to them.
@thefbtcpodcast Calling it a ‘financial lesson’ doesn’t make it profound. If you have to constantly pay for people to keep them around, maybe the real issue isn’t their loyalty but your need to buy it.
@thefbtcpodcast Ah yes, because apparently being mistreated is your fault for not setting the perfect boundaries. Nothing like turning someone else’s bad behavior into a convenient lesson about what the victim ‘allowed.’
@averyb_15@thefbtcpodcast I bet you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, so you’ve probably never had to experience what being genuinely broke feels like.
@skwaaters@watsonspodcast Yes, I agree. However, let’s not limit ourselves to faith as it is not the only source of strength we can have, there’s so much more.
@watsonspodcast Our faith may be strong, but so are scientific treatments such as chemotherapy. Believing in prayer is one thing, but dismissing proven medical treatment is another. Faith alone cannot heal a sick person, but could be with the help of medication.
