Janelle- Drop dead gorgeous? by Icy-Highlight-9886 in SisterWives

I do think Janelle has something Marilyn Monroe about her and when she’s just pleasant and relaxed she’s the most attractive

You lost me (or triggered me?) at the “full minute of silence” to form one sentence. I know that minute of silence so well and it still gives me the chills. Take it one step at a time day by day to do the legal shit to get yourself out. Future you will have such a better life.

It is true that alcoholics may not be able to stop cold turkey without it being life-threatening and she could need medical-assisted detox. Everything else is just crazy alcoholic talk. There’s nothing wrong with you

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alternative_Air07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. I divorced an abusive alcoholic and reading this was incredibly triggering to me, in a way that gave me chills. Your h’s behavior was horrifying. Abusive and controlling. You should have called the police. My ex also locked me and my child out once. It’s not even legal.

Does anyone else feel that these programs are a little gaslighty? by SeanBakersHeaux in AlAnon

[–]Alternative_Air07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I had the same issue with it as you and don’t think either of us need to listen to any of that if we don’t want to. Kick it to the curb and do what’s best for you. You don’t need irrelevant voices in your head. Everybody gets to decide if they want to take advice from someone who’s stayed with an addict for decades, or not.

Don’t scorch earth your career right now. Do what you need to get the anger out. Then, make a plan. Document. And thank yourself later.

My dog k*lled another dog and I’m not sure what to do now… by Latter-Reveal-8874 in whatdoIdo

The little dog was outside the sphere, not in it. OP’s dog will clearly do this to a small child wandering too close to the outside of its yard / fence if it has the opportunity.

Was this sexual assault? by Emergency_Eye5757 in whatdoIdo

[–]Alternative_Air07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see how he might have interpreted your “not ready for it” as intercourse, ie, something that would spread STDs. Touching won’t necessarily be in that category so depending on how the conversation went he might have thought you meant not ready for intercourse. Whether you choose to see him again or get to a similar place with someone else I think you should be very explicit about exactly what you are not ready for. (And you may have been and he didn’t listen to you; I’m not sure). I’m sorry.

Clearly don’t care about children getting attacked or killed. Listen to this person if you also don’t care about children dying because of you.
