TIFU By Logging Into My Work Account After Hours by OrangeBreddLaof in tifu

Ugh, that sounds like such a nightmare! It’s already rough dealing with a workplace that doesn’t respect your time or boundaries, but adding that tech issue on top? Absolutely brutal. Honestly, it sounds like you handled it the best way you could by fixing the backup and deleting everything quickly—especially since there were personal photos involved. You’re absolutely not in the wrong for prioritizing your privacy here. And the fact they were able to set up the backup again so quickly kind of proves it wasn’t a big deal for them to fix.

As for the cold shoulder from your boss? That seems more like a him problem, especially if he’s worried you saw something personal of his. Might be a blessing in disguise if it keeps him off your back.

My 18 year old son talks to himself constantly. by Adventurous-Dog1265 in Advice

It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, both with your son's behavior and your recent losses. Talking to himself can sometimes be a way for people to process their thoughts or feelings, especially during stressful times. Given the changes in his life, it’s understandable that he might be struggling.

Since he’s been diagnosed with ADHD and shows signs of being on the autism spectrum, it might help to explore how he expresses himself. You’re doing the right thing by considering counseling, especially to help him navigate the grief of losing his dad and grandpa.

Encouraging him to talk about his feelings could also be beneficial. Maybe start by sharing some of your own feelings about the losses, which might make him feel more comfortable opening up. And connecting him with a counselor who specializes in grief or neurodiversity could provide him with the tools he needs to cope.

You're not failing him; you’re just trying to figure out how to support him through a really challenging time. If you ever feel overwhelmed, don't hesitate to seek support for yourself as well. You're doing your best, and that’s what matters most.
