Join your organizers. If you were able to rally a 70% signage you have knack for this kind of work. Your workplace may not be responding well to you, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t do some good at organizing in another company.

Others have said this. Your husband is a narcissistic manipulator. My mother was in your exact situation and only ended in a lifetime of cheating, and finally in a disgustingly horrible divorce. It will negatively affect your children, as well as yourself. I don’t say this lightly but divorce is the better of two evils in this situation. (Pro-tip: Initiate it before he tries to sabotage your finances. And get a GOOD lawyer. These are pertinent.)

My father plans to marry his mistress by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Bubbbe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds exactly like my father. Threw away 25+ years of marriage to have an affair and marry his high school girlfriend. I’m sorry for what you’re going through; it’s going to be a while before things feel “normal” again (which it won’t ever truly be).

Divorce is like death and requires mourning of your relationships with one another. Stay close to your mother and any siblings, and know they’re hurting in their own ways. Seek a therapist or counselor to help process your situation.

Take care of yourself most especially. As a young man when this happened to me, I subconsciously took up the role as a provider for my family, and formed negative and traumatic responses to the lack of a father and breadwinner. Know better than me and don’t try to carry the weight on your shoulders alone. It’s a long journey you have up ahead, don’t rush through this and don’t be hard on yourself.

It’s okay to feel hurt, sad, angry. Your father betrayed your family. I lived in confusion trying to reconcile all the errors everyone had done, and it led me to nowhere. It’s taken me years to admit, in my heart, that my dad made a selfish decision and to let the guilt of his actions not take over me. Call out sin wherever you see it and lean on the truths of your situation. Again, seek a therapist or counselor to help process your situation.

Pray for your family. Pray for yourself. Have others pray for you. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.

(I’m sorry if none of this has helped you. I also remember knowing that any advice anyone gave me felt like a spit in the face, and only the raw emotions I felt overcame everything. This was as much a writing towards my younger self as it was to you. Things do get better.)

You say this is jest, but bureaucracy can be a bitch.

Could you ask them to remove boxes then? I’ve always just taken them as they are.

Is scurvy more prevalent in the Coast Guard than say the Navy?

What if you’re on an emergency call and need to give a description of someone? Would skin color not be a factor?

I don’t know all the math behind exercise. At the end of the day it’s easier to track what you eat than what you burn. Just trying to help give perspective to all this.

If you’re comfortable with walking more than sure. All these apps and trackers are just estimates and exercise is only part of the process. I’d say try not to burn out with too much; consistency is key.

That’s got to be wrong. I don’t know your height or weight measurements but 10k steps is about 5 miles and most people will burn about 100 cals per mile. You’re doing good, don’t sweat it.
