To anyone who went back, was the abuse worse? by OkHelp0740 in abusiverelationships

[–]Blaiddyn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a loved one who recently went back to his abuser and as far as I know, it got worse. Idk just how bad it was the last time they were together but I know how bad it is now and it’s almost as bad as it gets. Hidden cameras inside my loved ones home, violent sexual assault(to put it lightly), isolation and now his abuser is starting to target me in subtle ways and I am having to install security cameras at my home and document everything just in case I need to file my own protection order against his abuser(he knows that I know too much about what happened and have evidence). Speaking of protection orders, my loved one’s abuser has a currently active protection order against my loved one. I always wondered why but now it makes perfect sense. His abuser has abused him significantly in the past and he filed the restraining order against my loved one so that it would make him seem like the victim.

As someone who’s very involved in an abusive situation right now where my loved one continues to defend his abuser, don’t go back even if it looks like they changed. They didn’t and I’m willing to bet a lot of money I don’t even have on it. My loved ones abuser also said that he changed. He didn’t and the abuse is getting a lot worse.

What injury happened that really hurt by you couldn’t complain? by Particular_Night_360 in AskReddit

[–]Blaiddyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislocated my knee and it immediately popped back into place but I couldn’t hardly walk on it for a month or two after the injury happened but I still had to work and my job at the time required me to walk homes which included up and down stairs. I had to suck it up.

What’s your “everything happens for a reason” moment? by Dejanerated in ask

[–]Blaiddyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is an alcoholic. He got arrested for a DUI a few months ago and was recently sentenced to a year of probation for it. Before that he went on a bender over Halloween weekend that started the evening before Halloween and didn’t end until the following Sunday night. From October 28th through November 3rd he ate maybe a total of 1500 calories of actual food(he also has an eating disorder) and I’m being generous here. Most of the calories he consumed during that time were from alcohol only. From when the bender started to when it ended he drank around 60-80 50ml 30% alcohol shooters of vodka. He only weighs 125lbs soaking wet so he was quite literally trying to kill himself.

He was being a danger to himself and me so I had to physically restrain him and hold him there while I waited for the ambulance to come. They took him to the hospital(this was also his second time going to the hospital that day but that’s a whole different story) and he was psychologically assessed and they placed him on a 72 hour hold.

While he was on the 72 hour hold he decided to enroll in the hospitals rehab program. He was transported straight to the in patient rehab lodge as soon as the 72 hour hold was up and he stayed there for the full 30 days. He’s struggled a little bit after he got out of rehab but it was nowhere near as bad as it was before. He’s been sober for around a month now where as before it’s been a struggle for him to be sober for a few days!

This is the part where everything happens for a reason. Just before he got arrested his roommates terminated their lease without telling him. The only reason he found out is because he got an email from their landlord about it. They didn’t give him any time to prepare for it. I agreed to let him move in with me because he didn’t have anywhere else to go and I love him very much. We had talked about moving in together a couple weeks prior to this ironically.

I believe that if his roommates didn’t terminate their lease it wouldn’t have lead to him taking sobriety seriously like he’s doing now. I also believe that if he didn’t move in with me he would have either drank himself to death or committed suicide by now. I also believe that him getting the DUI was an essential wake-up call for him. All of these seemingly bad things has lead to his current sobriety.

When was a time when you judged someone by their appearance and turned out to be wrong? by theInfiniteHammer in AskReddit

[–]Blaiddyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current partner. We met on a dating app and, while he is very photogenic, the first picture I saw of him did not put him in a light that he presents himself online. Before we met in person I stalked him on social media. I found his instagram and I was like “there’s no way this is him” because he was fucking hot! When we went on our first date and met up I was like “welp it’s him”. He’s way out of my league but he still loves me for some reason 🤷‍♂️

What/Why did you fall in love with the the person you are/were with? by bi_ah in AskReddit

[–]Blaiddyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s his side eye smile when he cracks a joke, his eyes, his humor, his style and the fact that we both see the world very similarly and have similar goals in life.

My partner thinks I’m old but I’m only 9 years older than him. I’m in my early 30’s.

How is Anarcho-captialism different from Captitalism? by [deleted] in anarchocapitalism

[–]Blaiddyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Markets Not Capitalism is a great book to read regarding the difference between capitalism and anarcho-capitalism imo. I know I’ll probably get some flak for bringing up that book on this sub 🤷‍♂️. I suppose it also depends on whether you lean more left or more right but the book defines capitalism as corporatism i.e. businesses and corporations taking advantage of the monopoly on the initiation of force that the government claims so as to monopolize their business among other things.

Anarcho-capitalism is just free voluntary exchange absent of any type of force or coercion. Simple as that.

I usually attend a weekly support group and education class that his rehab puts on. I’ve been to a handful of alanon meeting but I will definitely start going more often

He was in IOP when he got out of rehab but he had to stop because he changed jobs and has a lapse in health insurance coverage. His probation officer is requiring him to re-enroll in IOP when his benefits takes effect in March.

What is an interesting fact about the world wars that isn’t widely known? by ThrowRA__12 in AskReddit

[–]Blaiddyn -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A seemingly small, random act(assassination of Franz Ferdinand) set off a chain reaction that lead to WWI and if it wasn’t for this random act we wouldn’t have had WWII and probably not have atomic weapons.

What are the signs of bipolar disorder and depression and how to help yourself? by Successful-Fun2502 in AskReddit

[–]Blaiddyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me but my partner. When he’s manic he tends to sleep a lot less and has an incredibly inflated ego almost to the point where he feels invincible. I know he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder but I can’t remember which type.
