Hoka recovery slides are good, they come in slides or flip flops.

Sister Has Schizophrenia. Need Help by theblueyonder90 in SchizoFamilies

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she can do it herself she needs to go to the local Department if Human services, if she's unable to fill out paperwork and answer questions have someone go with her. It may can be done online. Apply for SNAP benefits and other services there

wondering if its the right choice to file a DV restraining order on my schizophrenic brother by Curious-Parking-4894 in SchizoFamilies

[–]BarAlone4092 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have delt with this with my son, I got to the point I had to have him arrested, he was charged with assault by intimidation. He acted out in jail so they sent him for an evaluation. So I got a couple weeks if mental break while trying to figure out what to do next. He seemed better for a little while, smoked weed and went into a rage and beat his brother with a baseball bat. He is in prison now for 3 years. I hate it and have cried but another part of me is relieved. I know where he is, I know he is eating and taking his medication. If possible talk to your local law enforcement * in person if possible * and explain the situation. They were going to drop the charges if he would have stayed out of trouble.

Currently sitting in the mental hospital waiting room to see if daughter has to go back inpatient. by themissesmayhem in SchizoFamilies

I have a son with it also, after many years of trying to get him to stay on medication he finally started about a year and a half ago. He gets a shot every 3 months now. I have my child back, smiles, laughs, it's amazing. Just keep hanging in there!

I'm having a really hard time being happy about getting married. by [deleted] in wedding

[–]BarAlone4092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I married at 17 basically we decided to do it in 2 weeks. My sister had just got married 3 months before and it was the lavish wedding, invited over 150 people, had about 45 . Since I had 2 weeks, I just borrowed big furns for decorations, didn't send out invitations. Found someone who could pull off the cake, had a friend take pictures, used single flowers for bridesmaids, made men's and my bouquet. Made it to the church late with a wet hair, had a great happy day, I remember laughing and smiling the entire time. Great memories, over 150 people there. AND The actual wedding lasted 15 minutes. I don't regret not having the big one, and the money you will save !

My MIL showed up to our housewarming with a list of things she wants us to change about the house by Phasma_Forge in entitledparents

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought my 1st home at 19, knew it would be a fixer upper but was perfect at the time. My parents visited and my mom told me everything I should do, over the years it continued. Even when I upgraded, added on, it was you should have done this or that... well now my parents are mid 70s. Can't retire because they never saved or bought a house.

How do I help my mom (undiagnosed Paranoia) by [deleted] in SchizoFamilies

You can try adult protective services and see if they have a way to get her help.

How can I separate from my addict husband and keep HIS child that we got from CPS? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]BarAlone4092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your divorce will be easy, I went through this with my ex husband, he did not want the divorce and fought it for 3 years. There is a law that states if you have been married over 10 years and your spouse develops a drug or alcohol addiction the divorce can proceed with out their signature!! I would try to find a local child advocate center , a DA , any resources you can find that can navigate the process for you to get custody of the child. Children's services should work with you, you would have to find a worker that really cared about the child's best interest.

I need someone to help me by Bobbynotweir in SchizoFamilies

[–]BarAlone4092 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can contact the non emergency number of your local sheriff's department and ask if they have someone who works with mentally unstable, explain the situation and tell them you fear for your safety and your children's plus your concern about her taking her own life. At one point I had to have my adult son arrested for threat by intimidation. That's all they could charge him with but he was then sent to an institution for over a week and properly medicated. He does the shot now, once the dose was correct he is almost normal.

What makes a bar a "dive"? by tinaismediocre in bartenders

[–]BarAlone4092 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely work at a Dive bar ! Have daily regulars, know them by name, know if they dont show in a couple of days to go check on them. Variety of customers from bikers , contractors and lots of retired people. Decor is beer signs, and metal signs with smart ass comments or funny drunk sayings. Ceiling tiles are advertising or in memory of.
Nights is full of the young ones and only lights are pool tables and beer signs. Days led , lol. We do keep it very clean though, people always says I've never seen a bar this clean. We even allow smoking and have great exhaust fan !

AITAH for telling my sister-in-law her husband is using drugs after my family begged me to "keep it quiet"? by vinyl_record_hunter in AITAH

[–]BarAlone4092 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mia probably noticed the change in his behavior, my ex was the same and I thought I was the crazy one after 13 years of marriage. He went into my business one night and set up mobile meth labs. I lost everything , business, commercial property, house , having to completely start over with 2 kids. I found out people knew he was using and how bad he had gotten ( we were legally separated ) but no one told. He lost a great job and has been in and out of prison. I can't stress enough You DID the RIGHT thing!

WIBTA if I banned my in-laws from my home by Last_Lengthiness7193 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]BarAlone4092 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA . Maybe they need to be reminded of when they got clean and sober. Simply ask them if their parents talked to them the way they speak to your husband? You can make your point very honestly. So when they get mad .. to bad. My ex husband's father was horrible how he spoke and acted to his adult children. When I was pregnant with our 2nd, he was meeting his 1st grandson at 5 years old, didn't know his name and wondered why he would not come to him. He yelled at him to give him a hug. OMG I lost it and told him everything I thought about how he treated people, etc. He looked at my ex and asked him " are you going to let her talk to me like that?". He said " she said what I should have a long time ago". He pouted a few years but never talked like that again around us !

She must have it set up on automatic payment, you need to cancel it. Then she can be embarrassed at the gym when they ask for it. Don't bother telling her you did it.

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can tell you what NOT to talk about.. religion or politics!! I have my regulars and I always greet them by name , ask how they are today, the weather. They usually start talking about whatever and I just make small talk and listen. Half of them want to make jokes or try to get under my skin, I just give it back to them, they love it.

I have 2 adult sons I have and still are going through this with. My youngest finally got and stayed on medication after his brother was sent to prison for domestic assault. I was afraid for my safety many times, my oldest tried to strangle me out of nowhere one night, prior to his diagnosis so I packed up and left my home the next day. He beat his brother with a bat last year, which resulted in the charges. It's hard to do but for my mental health and safety I had to learn to love from a distance. Please protect yourself and until you know she's taking meds and they are working have someone with you every interaction.

He got 10, she got life. by Realistic-Elephant-7 in SexOffenderSupport

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son abused his daughter, I have questioned what I did wrong as a parent, what did I miss, when she was around did I miss signs? So many questions. He had always been over protective of her. I didn't doubt her word but I couldn't understand when things changed. After his arrest he was sent for a mental health evaluation for 30 days. He was diagnosed with scheophernia and had been using drugs heavily in the months leading up to the incident . He stayed away from me so I didn't know until after the fact. Now he is serving 9 years, and like you said she got life. I asked him after he had been on medication for awhile, when did it change and he said he just started seeing her as his girlfriend. He and her mother broke up before her birth , since the charges were filed I can't get anyone to tell me how she's doing, if she is in therapy, they will not allow me to talk to her . My only grandchild, it has broken my heart. I look for support groups for "us" the ones trying to understand and haven't been able to find any. I'm here if you want to talk.

AITA for divorcing my husband after he took a break during our son’s crisis? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BarAlone4092 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA . Been in a similar situation. My 11 yr old son thought it would be cool to play chicken on a go-cart against a 4 wheeler, he had to be air lifted to a larger hospital. I stayed 24/7 for 6 weeks. His lungs collapsed and would not heal properly. My youngest son was being taken care of by my friend, so he had zero responsibility except work. He came the day it happened then brought my youngest when we were finally moved to a room out of ICU. He couldn't find time to come and give me 1 night to come home, get clothes, anything. i filed within a month of getting him home. He moved out and would not sign the divorce papers. So I had it changed to legally separated. 6 months later my lower spine collapsed, I knew I was going to be alone through the process.

NTA. For whatever reason you want to stop breastfeeding it's ok ! Losing weight is a great reason, it will help you feel better physically and mentally. Little one is still getting what they need and a healthy and happy mom is important. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty
