nostr:npub14fkfcx9j0494g8zejfdxsr9t8raxt9n8vzkz6l5w4ef0gjysh4dqcsmkgv Hi Fran. Welcome on decentralised social media.

I am deeply sorry for your loss and sadness. It is incomprehensible and surreal. My condolences and best wishes. You wrote beautifully. I am worried about you. Please reach out for help. Please speak with a psychologist about what happened and how it has made you feel. A psychologist is like a physiotherapist of the mind. Your burden is too heavy for one man to carry by himself. Please feel free to reach out to me as well. I can listen.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Trying to get used to Nostr. Cheers.

What app do you run Nostr on? I’m on Damus and it is not great.

What app are you using? I’m on damus.

My first nostr post was from December 2024. I have infrequently checked in since. Hardly ever get any reply. I followed 73 people, mostly from Bitcoin Twitter. None have followed me back. Wonder if anyone even reads this message. If so, grateful for a reply or sign of life?

Hypothesis: Twitter/X is better in every way except centralisation and censorship. It’s a fallback insurance policy for those who are or who fear to be canceled.

I may need to pause Nostr and come back in a couple of years.

We are still dealing with the consequences: the debt baton was passed on from banks to governments.

Moment of vulnerability here, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience before.

I completely LOST it on another person's kid today when I thought they had intentionally hurt my daughter, but I was wrong and now I feel horrible.

Context: on a road trip with another family. The other child has behavioral issues and has been known to get physical in the past with others at school and daycare. Over the course of the trip he's been pretty poorly behaved and aggressive but not downright violent... but I had it in the back of my mind that it could happen.

My daughter was playing with him in the other room, then suddenly runs out screaming, bleeding from the mouth and saying that he had hit her. I've never experienced anyone intentionally hurt my little girl and I instantly flew into protective dad mode before properly assessing the situation. In my mind he had punched her in the mouth.

I stormed into the room and flew into a rage, screaming at the absolute top of my lungs, pointing my finger in the kid's face saying to NEVER touch her EVER again. His mom was right behind me. He was likely terrified and I was honestly way beyond any level of anger I've ever felt.

In the next minute or two my daughter then clarified that it was an accident and they had been playing rough but had unintentionally slammed into each other.

The boy cried, his mom was in shock, and she also had tears in her eyes. I feel absolutely awful about the whole situation, I should have had more self control, and I'm a little in shock how quickly I became an absolute monster to a young kid.

I apologized in the moment to both of them and sent a message after saying I should have handled the situation better.

Just really upset about the whole thing, unsure how to proceed now. Any girl dads out there ever have this happen to them?

Hi there, greetings from Holland. Dad of three daughters and one son here. Ages now 12,19,21,23.

My two cents, for your consideration.

Firstly, children should learn that adults, too, make mistakes, and that adults, too, have feelings. It happens. Once it has happened you cannot unsay what was said or undo what was done.

What matters MORE is that they should also learn how to behave after having made a mistake. It’s good that you humbly apologised in the moment. Also good that you sent them a (rational?) message.

The only thing that’s not clear is whether you have spoken about emotion; how you still feel about your mistake. This is best done the next time you see them face to face, once the dust has settled.

Just tell him/them you still feel upset/guilty for having overreacted to a young child, apologise again and ask the child if he is willing to accept your apology. If so, case closed. There is nothing more you can do.

And hopefully the child will also learn how to behave the next time that he makes a mistake - which is inevitable.

Hope helpful.

Even kijken of nostr het nog doet.
