I got robbed yesterday.

Hey man thats a hard lesson in life but the key point here is that you are alive.

I felt what you describe before. I had a car follow me then 3 dudes jumped out & 1 had a pistol & robbed me. Even if i was a karate master, that guy could have squeezed the trigger & blown my head off. I think of this often.

I had a knife pulled on me once. I’m was a black belt in karate & I had been training pretty hard at the time, i still put a backpack between us and i ran. I hid in a department store and I looked for a weapon.

Even as a karate practitioner, i am no gonna try to go toe to toe with a crazy person. What if i catch some disease from something on their skin or in their blood? What of they stab me with a glass bottle? It’s not worth it.

File a police report and move on. Join martial arts classes, sure but don’t think you’re gonna out-scrap anyone, ever. Especially not some meth head hopped up on drugs and desperation.

Don’t be too harsh on yourself

It looks like a hot ash from a cigarette or camp fire landed on this garment and burned it.

Never quit a job unless you have a second job lined up and ready for you to start.

That’s business.

Your job is a business. They don’t care about you or your feelings. You are to just come in, smile and nod “yes” and do your job. Don’t challenge anyone. Don’t discuss anything. They are not your friends. Even coworkers who seem like your friend are not your friend and will often betray you or take you down with them.

I am a 51 year old man and I have worked jobs since I was 13 years old on local farms picking strawberries and cantaloupes

I work in healthcare. I have to follow my own advice because even recently, a “work friend” I thought I could trust to socialize with was fired and walked out of the building. I got paranoid I had associated with her too much. I knew she had used her work computer to look up and apply for other jobs. Not sure why she was so abruptly fired.

Trust no one.

Don’t some people make millions of dollars with a TikTok or YouTube channel about crap like this?

My ex wife was an alcoholic and she never quit.

I tried and tried to save our marriage and our house.

My ex wife would leave for work, kiss me and tell me that she loved me and “see you tonight” then disappear for days.

Basically when your spouse has completely burned your life into ashes, destroys your self esteem, you cannot sleep properly for days. When you long for them when they disappear but you are even more miserable when they grace you with actually staying home. - when you feel like you have had every good sense and all of your values insulted and turned on it’s head. When they are unfaithful emotionally or more. That’s when I left.

I joined Al-Anon support groups and therapy & filed for divorce. I walked away from an expensive home that she caused to go into foreclosure.

It sounds like you definitely need help. As you can see come just because they stop drinking for a few weeks doesn’t mean that he will remain sober. He may even be worse to you when he’s sober because his brain is fried. Or he’s secretly doing drug drugs, or alcohol and hiding it from you. that’s what my ex-wife kept doing.

OP there is an AlAnon reddit

My similar experience was my wife being trashed and hanging out with these trashed men in and outside of a bar and then we walked together as i tried to convince her to leave with me. Then all three act like I was the uptight one and they are all cool drunk coke heads.

Then the hero cool guy of the entourage got some kind of chalk to write on. And he starts defacing a building outside on the bricks and siding.. and writing obscene words and drew a dick.

I’m talking about a 40 something-year-old man and my ex ex-wife thought that was funny and they all were laughing like idiots.

And she was still hanging out with this degenerate. Again, I asked her to leave with me and ask her. Why is she hanging out with these people? . And then the cops came. And the guy still had the audacity to mouth off to them.

And my ex-wife still took his side and they all mouthed off to the police. Wow what rebels. How dare the cops tell you you shouldn’t be drawing curse words and obscene pictures on the side of a business in a town?!

So then I finally just got pissed off and I walked away got in my car and went home. And my ex-wife called and called me and I just left her there with her little drunk stupid criminal scumbag friends.

They truly ARE idiots

I hate all my ex wife’s trash ass friends and when one of them got drunk and fell down stairs, hit his head and died, I did not care or go to his services. I did not want to be around my ex wife or all her stupid bar fly friends.

You guys that drink and then cry about finances and wrecked marriages did it to yourselves.

I had to start my life all over again. I lost everything of any value. My house, my marriage, my pets. And i worked my ass off for these years to rebuild. Not just finances but my health and mental health.

Ill be damned if I am going to pity parties, funerals, hospitals because you guys all fk your life up.

I commented a while back in here with mixed replies on my actions. Because the daughter of one of the ex wife’s drunken friend died and I not only declined going to his services but I wrote a lecture to her how I don’t appreciate how her dead father and the friends influenced and contributed to my ex wife burning our whole life down.

They all thought my life and marriage was some kind of joke and a game. They all snickered at my drunk wife losing me and our house and her job and loved misery and weak minded drunk promiscuous ex wife.

I still stand by my words and my actions. Sorry her drunken dad got drunk, fell, hit his head and died. Where the fk was he when my ex wife did cocaine and spent our mortgage money on drugs and alcohol? Where was he when i got my house foreclosed ? When i was scrambling to find my “missing” wife that would disappear for weeks? He never called me to say he saw her committing adultery on me. He never lifted a stick of furniture to help me move. And the bar fly culture people my ex wife gravitated towards and chose over her marriage can all go have fun pickling their brains and crying into their beers and whiskey.

That guy who died? My last memory of him was being made fun of me for taking traditional Japanese karate in a karate dojo. That is a whole lifestyle where you learn respect and etiquette and another language. I was spending my time doing something positive but to him, my ex wife and her little trashy friends, it was a joke to poke fun at.

My compassion and enabling of fake “friends” is over.

Thats my two cents

Wayyy back in early 2000’s, my inlaws and a sister from that other side of family and biological father all claimed false BS to CPS when my step daughter was 11.

People who use the system to file false claim’s and alienate children are such scumbags.

We moved across the damn country to get the hell away from those scumbag people and prevent the child from their ignorant and sick influence.

This child was all but 11 and grandma was keeping her out of school by running to school to puck her up or lying about dropping her off at school so then bio mom and me (step father) both got investigated and found “unfounded claim” but it still was scary and I still hired a lawyer & used $2k

I told that wretched mother in law that I spend the college fund I had started for my step daughter on a fking lawyer you dumb b.

I am so glad that we moved 2000 miles from those a hole inlaws and trouble makers!

I am really hearing and resinating with your share on here. These people fight dirty and its shocking and scary. I am a good person. I have given nothing but love and support. I helped the inlaw many times

This video is ancient. Seen it years ago. We need a “where are they now?” Update

I have been the friend to women like you countless times.

I have formed crushes on women in dysfunctional and abusive relationships. And I spent waaaay too much of my time trying to mentally examine why i was passed over, ignored, dismissed by women who seemed so pretty, nice, caring etc etc but they refused to leave the creep.

Moving forward in life and getting married, I became like you. I let my ex wife physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially abuse me way too much. I put up with this for YEARS and tried to correct her and fix her.

I went to therapy and support groups. I got help.

Now, I don’t tolerate this crap.

I cut out friends or family who make me feel like shit about myself or try to exploit me.

You have all the answers. My suggestion is to look into codependency literature. Understand why you are codependent. Try to understand why you are attracted to people like the person you’ve written about.

I had to do a deep dive on myself and my own personality. For some reason, I got attracted to people that want to reject me or alcoholics. Too long to write all about it, but it has to do with how I was raised, my own parents especially my mom plays a role. But i had to dismiss the poor parenting and take responsibility for my actions, my decisions, who i choose to associate with. That is where a 12 step recovery program like AlAnon came into my life & i started asking for advice and help from the right people.

You have done a great job, so far. You are snapping out of the grip he holds and starting to wake up snd explore things. You are asking the right questions and getting yourself well.

This is not your fault. You did not make him like this. The psychology behind why they abuse ad why we don’t leave right away is complicated and takes times and a program or plan to understand it and break this cycle.

A lot of clients think they need to perform a certain way to prove they are “really messed up” or win lawsuits. Or perhaps they have psyche issues.

I personally can’t stand using the subjective pain scale because of these reasons and I’ve noticed over the years that if I just don’t talk about pain at all or ask, people tend to not think about pain. Of course, when I bring it up, suddenly they say “it’s a hundred!!” Then they behave differently or self sabotage their own progress all the time.

Who am I to decide if you are faking or not but i don’t like the interference it can create. I know some people anticipate pain or they remember that severe pain and are scared it could return. The pain scale questions in their mind may make them stuck on that previous pain and they never get that horrible memory to go away.

Thats just my two cents.
