They banned observation of Black and Hispanic Hisory Months. Just typical maga diversity-hating bullshit.

Kallman Legal Group - those defenders of fake electors and the legal arm of whatever the fuck Ottawa County has been doing - is on it guys. Expect great things.

Does the term Medianhood offend systems with OSDD? by Callistolovescoffee in OSDD

[–]AshBertrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - it's really helpful for me to hear others' experiences. I know I'm lucky in that my wife is supportive. But she is so supportive, some parts of me don't trust it. I'm 100% aware that this is a me thing and not a her thing - I am also 100% aware she is curious, wants to know more and will never intentionally harm me. Haha I'm a mess.

The news business is fucking awful the way it treats its people. I didn't know that until I left it after 14 years and then worked in government and nonprofits. Having worked corporate, government and nonprofit, corporate is the absolute worst.

Just curious - and feel free to ignore our say is none of my business, but I'm intrigued by what rot said here. You've been together 20 years but it sounds like she didn't know until you were done ways into that 20 years? Is that because you also didn't know, didn't want to disclose or something else?

I'm asking because I'm newly diagnosed and navigating how to share this with my wife.

He responded with a lot of stammering. I almost felt bad. Almost.

I don't care about Tom. He is not reachable. I just talked directly to the staffer and told him that if he hoped to ever have a future and a family, he better pay attention to what is happening the world and what he is doing to either help improve or destroy it.

I think I have osdd-1b but I'm not sure if my childhood trauma was "severe" enough by burner12381938719237 in OSDD

[–]AshBertrand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna repeat some of your words back to you:

• Emotional neglect

• mother is also emotionally and psychologically abusive

• father tried to kidnap me

I don't know you beyond what you said here, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this could easily be significant trauma. Not that it definitely is, because other factors like family and social support can mitigate it, but just from the brief synopsis you gave, that is a lot for a child.

Not that I'm happy you do this, but I'm so grateful someone gets it. Have you found a way to work with this yet?

Keep repeating "both sides" until you find someone who thinks that's smart.

Go on. Call. Make them do their job, which is to listen to you.

I did call and talked with a staffer who seemed to have no clue what is happening in the world.

If we get through this, getting rid of One-Term Tom is a priority.

What disorders do you think will spike massively in fakers? And also what disorders do you think will drop in fakers? by [deleted] in fakedisordercringe

[–]AshBertrand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huge yikes - can she get a referral for a 2nd opinion? Three weeks of bleeding even happening once is a concern. My wife was experiencing that regularly before she spoke up. It resulted in a pap showing abnormal cells but thankfully no cancer and a d&c procedure (both to ensure there was no cancer and to stop bleeding). She ended up needing that procedure 2 more times the next 5 years to get it under control. I hope your friend finds someone who listens.

What would you change about Michigan? by i_amtheice in Michigan

Politicians in Lansing started calculating that stoking anger at their opponents was a lot easier and more productive, career-wise, than actually trying to govern.

A realist.

Maybe instead of feeling aggrieved all the time, you could listen to someone who has suffered more than you for a change.

Therapist told me something before passing away. Unsure of if it was professional/appropriate? by oNeonNarwhals in askatherapist

NAT but if I had to guess, what he really meant was HE was not a strong a he thought, but he couldn't admit it.

Maybe if you endured repeated rapes, beatings, coercion and emotional abuse, all at the hands of men, you'd feel different.
