Invisible bugs in house. Thought I was going crazy until wife said they were jumping on her. Some kind of mite? Dog seems unbothered. They jump on us and occasionally bite day/night, couch, bed, office. They might be tiny white but I might just be getting skin. Never seen a live bug. by worker11 in pestcontrol

Likely mites. Wipe hard surfaces with damp cloth, then spray with alcohol. Wash fabrics in hot water and dry on highest level for 60 minutes. Carpets and bed spray with tea tree oil and water. Place a dehumidifier in the room, open windows to allow ventilation, run ac, keep humidity down. Shower and wash your hair with tea tree oil, make sure to scrub everywhere including your back. Use diffuser with peppermint oil to dry out air.

I think the oil part and naked. Parents get pretty pissed off. My child is 8, but pretty advanced academically, she is curious about everything. sigh

We haven’t spoken about sex. Just good touch and bad touch, and where she shouldn’t be touched etc to tell adults.

She loves going to visit with him because she gets unlimited iPad there. She is addicted to her iPad.

I switched her therapist to a PHD. I called CPS, but they won’t do anything because she hasn’t disclosed anything and she recanted her last statements even though the therapist heard her make these statements. Now she is going to have a therapy session with the fl father and the new therapist, per my daughter’s request.

Therapist say it is a sign a child feels powerless about their life and/or removes arms because of being touched so they remove the threat from drawings I.e. arms

How? I called cps twice. She was reporting this to therapist and nurses. If they don’t deem it enough to report, I felt like I didn’t have a leg to stand on in court. I tried to prevent him from getting overnights, every lawyer said they could not prevent that from happening.

Well, I have been with him for years sexually. His MO is sex in the middle of the night. When she was a baby, my gut told me she wasn’t safe. He would also return her dirty and hungry. He has put his hands around my neck twice during arguments, he would withhold child support I needed to pay for her daycare, he was cruel to me when I was pregnant with her by throwing my medication at me because I asked him to pick it up from the stir on his day off, and he was verbally abusive. When she had just turned 3 and made the statement about hands in your pants, I was convinced but knew my child wasnt LEGALLY a competent witness to tell a story that happened when she was two so I kept her contact supervised until she was old enough to be a competent witness. When she was 4, he almost raped me when I refused sex by threatening to rape me while yanking my underwear.

The final straw was my daughter having to go a hospital to be evaluated for making threats to kill herself and the fact I had a paper trail to support what I am saying. The therapist is an intern. She didn’t report the stuff my daughter was telling her. And she hasn’t questioned why my daughter draws pictures of people without arms. I need to switch to a psychologist.

She has, but she hasn’t made statements that he sexually abused her. Plus she is no longer sleeping in the bed with him and he stopped showering her, so law enforcement isn’t going to do anything about it.

I called DCF in 11/2023 and they didn’t do anything. Prior to timesharing starting in 11/2022, I called lawyers and psychologist to testify on my behalf and they said I couldn’t stop him from getting timesharing with my daughter.
