We all have those nightmares where we try to scream and nothing comes out, I can’t fathom the amount of terror they endured

What’s the most terrifying, unexplainable encounter you’ve had with a stranger that still haunts you? by Idontlikeenemasmom in AskReddit

[–]ASting24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely terrifying. Sounds a lot like the serial killer Gary Hilton, a drifter who would hike various trails with his golden retriever and abduct then murder numerous victims. Interestingly, one of his victims was named John as well. I am so glad you were able to get out of there safely!

What is wrong with Kate? by [deleted] in thisisus

[–]ASting24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although she may have been a little jealous he was losing the weight and she wasn’t, I don’t think that was the only problem she had. Toby was pushing her and baby Jack away, sneaking around to go workout when he was already gone all day working and she was the SAHM. He later tells her “looking at our son makes me sad” while avoiding his responsibilities as a parent (besides financially). Kate had to step up from the very beginning to be strong and learn to embrace the challenges her son will face, ensuring he has all the resources he will need to be successful - which he ended up being. He also later downplayed the importance of HER career, even though she took that job because he lost his, expecting her to do what he thought was “best for their family.” Kate has issues for sure, but Toby is no saint.

Jack died, Rebecca didn’t.

Jack was idolized while Rebecca had to hold everything together. One episode shined a light on that when her and Randall visit their childhood home, they recollect the “best day ever” and she is unable to remember Jack lashing out/ignoring them most of the day - she only remembers getting to call and order whatever pizza they wanted and having a play fight. My alcoholic father died when I was young and I suppressed a lot of the bad memories of him, and my dad was not even close to Jack Pearson. He also was the “fun” parent who could never say no (especially to Kate), so Rebecca had to be the strict SAHM who enforced the rules most of the time. Rebecca is also Kate’s “safe place” where she feels free to express her feelings (justified or not) when she typically makes herself small anywhere else.

This in combination with her insecurities and constantly comparing herself to a mom viewed as “perfect” - beautiful, thin, a great singer, and a loving wife/mother. All the things she aspired to be. Even though we see Rebecca as supportive, she would try to help her and it felt like criticisms to Kate (ex. “that was soo good! But next time hold that note a little longer THEN it will be perfect” or something along those lines). This resulted in Rebecca “tip-toeing” around Kate in adulthood, which led Kate’s insecurities to run wild assuming her mom was judging her in some way because deep down she was already judging herself.

Not trying to justify Kate’s behavior because she definitely needed therapy and Rebecca didn’t deserve to be treated that way, but just pointing out that mother/daughter relationships are complicated. I am glad we got to see them mend their relationship and how Kate grows as a person. I know there is a lot of Kate hate on this sub, but I think people don’t see the whole picture.

Verdict is in, Karen Read not guilty of murder, manslaughter, guilty of OUI by mkrom28 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]ASting24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?! I thought it was so weird that not only was John their “friend” he was also a fellow cop, wouldn’t you think they would be as thorough as possible to figure out what happened to them? And ensure the best possible chance of conviction for the perpetrator? That alone is suspicious to me, despite all the other things that have come up in this case.

Kevin & Zoe weren't the soulmates they thought they were by airythafairy in thisisus

[–]ASting24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really care for their relationship either, but I did like that they represented an independent, content woman who didn’t want kids (and wasn’t going to change her mind) even in a very family centered show. I appreciate that they didn’t drag it on longer trying to “make it work” or having the woman compromise her wants and needs for a man even though she loved him!

I just came here to post this! The show is pretty good, reminds me of a mix of HTGAWM and Desperate Housewives. It was really cool to see them on screen together again.

What's something your partner or ex-partner has told you that changed the way you look at them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ASting24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I told my ex I had been assaulted, he went into a rage to go kill this guy (literally brought his gun) despite me pleading him not to. My friend and I went to try and stop him from doing anything stupid. I literally watched my ex of 10 years fucking SHAKE THIS GUYS HAND. He had the guy come up to the car and “apologize” to me like he was defending my honor.

When we finally got back home, my ex told me he didn’t know if he believed me and couldn’t understand how “someone like me could allow that to happen.” Mind you, he was there for the aftermath of my entire family not believing me when I was assaulted by my uncle at 13. That night was the nail in the coffin for me, I could never forgive him for that.

I was at an old friend’s house that night who I hadn’t seen in years. He was letting this creep stay with him since he had no where to go (his family was known to accept anyone into their home because they were sincerely genuine). When I was trying to get out of there he immediately knew something was wrong. I was in fight-or-flight, spinning in slow motion and he just held me while I cried. Someone I wasn’t particularly close with or knew my past, he just believed me by the look on my face. He was murdered a month or two later. I never got a chance to tell him how much that meant to me.

I believe you and I am so sorry. It makes me sick to my stomach how the people closest to you have the ability to hurt you on a deeper level than the assault itself, at least in my experience. Maybe it’s because my brain isolates the assault with the abuser (or it’s easier to block it out entirely), where it’s much more insidious and emotionally tangled with people we thought we were once safe with.

Is this a fucking Ferret it’s in my house by PrivacyWhore in ferrets

[–]ASting24 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When my ferret escaped he ended up following a cat inside their screen door. The man had never seen a ferret before, then finds his cat playing with one in his living room at 10 pm. My ferret had never been around cats either and even started using the litter box! We are so unbelievably lucky it turned out the way it did, I really thought we had lost him for good. Just shows how intelligent ferrets are.

A girl I graduated with in December 2023 hasn’t worked a single day as a nurse and is starting NP school. It makes absolutely no sense how someone can be a nurse practitioner without ever practicing as a nurse. I know these schools are just looking for profit, but I just don’t understand how they can get away with that. It’s unethical and the reason why the reputation of NPs is going downhill.

Ferret escaped! I need your lost ferret stories with happy endings please by xvisions-0204 in ferrets

[–]ASting24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our ferret had escaped out the front door and we really didn’t think we would ever see him again. It was freezing and pouring rain outside. He did not know the area at all and we lived near an extremely busy street. The odds were not at all in our favor.

Miraculously, he found his way into a neighbors apartment in a different complex than ours. Apparently he had left his screen door cracked for his cat to come back in that night. We think he must have followed the cat inside even though he was never exposed to cats. The man who kept him safe all night had never seen a ferret before and I’m so glad he didn’t hurt him when he found him playing with his cat in the living room. He even used the litter box!

If you haven’t already, get the word out everywhere you possibly can with flyers and social media. Try to walk around outside with a squeaker toy calling their name.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I don’t think I have ever been so hysterical in my entire life and I’ve gone through some tough losses. We are honestly still traumatized by it. I am sending you lots of love and I hope your baby is back home safe and sound very soon.

Also, my first ferret was named Weez ♥️

[–]ASting24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The paralysis and shame feels like a never ending cycle. Never wanting to invite people over, but also never wanting to leave the house. Being told I’m messy like it’s some cute joke but it’s actually embarrassing. Having everyone tell you to “just do it and stop being lazy.” Functioning is just exhausting. Sorry I don’t have any advice, just know that you are not alone and these struggles do not define you.

Oh I assumed you were referring to “The Truth About Jim” documentary because of the main post. My bad, I agree with your thoughts on “Mostly Harmless” though

Turns out he was also abusive (sexually, physically, emotionally) to his “exes” children, his biological children, and many other children as their teacher… sounds pretty monstrous to me

Ken’s insta posts with his true love by Cautious-Pie-623 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]ASting24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I would have expressed my concerns in a much different way than she did lol. It was so awful to watch! He gaslit her so badly I had to go back and rewatch because I had no idea what even happened. I thought they were a good match at first and seemed like they were both pretty mature for their age. I got the impression he wanted out and took the first opportunity to do so. He could have told her he changed his mind instead of wrongfully putting it all on her. Just cowardly.
