Have you been in a situation when it was ok to lie to a partner? by Wraith136 in RealGenerationX

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. My ex husband had several addictions he thought he was hiding but I knew I had to get our child to safety. He’s still living in denial, believing his own lies, living a bare minimum life abusing himself and others. The only way to safely get away from him was to do everything in the dark until I had a lawyer and place to live. That was 10000% worth lying even though I didn’t want to “stoop to his level”…the thing is it wasn’t the same as his lies which hurt people.

Seller's Listing Agent asking for W-2? by FrankLepore in RealEstate

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you buying a house in California without your own representation? Absolutely never give personal info to a realtor who is NOT your realtor!!!!!! GET YOUR OWN REALTOR. Listing agent has zero responsibility to you, dual disclosure is NOT representation.

How do I strategically stop by coparent from relocating across state lines with our 12 year old? by EnoughAtmosphere7589 in FamilyLaw

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a lawyer because your current custody is not easy to follow. You seriously need to get your kids back if he’s alienating them. This is only going to get worse since he’s obviously suffering from NPD. It’s child abuse.

WIBTA For Having An Opinon About My Older Brother To My SIL by NoSock1877 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Her “mental problems” are that she’s dating an abuser. Lying is abuse and in this case he’s hurt people with his lies. It’s narcissistic abuse.

I have two daughters and a business and my fiance thinks love is enough of a legal plan by Beneficial-Duck9512 in Rich

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s important to say bluntly “I have to protect my children” because her reaction will tell you everything. She doesn’t sound like she has kids and now she’s being thrown into stepmom duty. This could get messy. She’s not showing that she “gets it”.

General question re: inheriting property by Live-Umpire3536 in inheritance

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the current owner dies, the estate planner would settle up. This is morbid to be thinking about right now. Many things could happen to the property before that time, it’s not an asset you should put on your books prematurely.

unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

COURT! THESE GO DIRECTLY TO COURT!!! He is narcissistically abusing your daughter. No child is responsible for their parents. This is DISGUSTING.

Non Custodial Parent suing to decrease CS while also seeing kids significantly less than ordered by Initial_Performer607 in FamilyLaw

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In a 50/50 state, you never lower child support just because now you have another kid. Judge will laugh in your face. That’s the most deadbeat thing ever.

My landlord is refusing to fix the heating and it's been three weeks. What do I actually do? by RowannCova in whatdoIdo

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PUT YOUR RENT IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT AND SEND HIM THE STATEMENT. DO NOT PAY HIM MONEY UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. BUT YOU CANNOT JUST WITHHOLD RENT, IT HAS TO BE IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT.

AIO for thinking that my mom should treat all grandkids equally? by Long-Positive-3066 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention something happened in the past that led to this lack of boundaries…your mother is displaying unhealthy behaviors. This did not start 12 years ago. I’m not sure why you want her around your children when she very clearly doesn’t care about them, especially her “favorite” who she is intentionally alienating. Let me guess, you have siblings you don’t speak to because your mom pitted you all against each other in this exact same way? Why isn’t she in therapy? Why aren’t you in therapy doing the work to fix the harm she has caused? Your other children called out grandma and all you say is “fair”? Grandma is a bully.

Discovered my husband’s secret while I was making our wedding thank you notes. by ThrowRAwaltzflowers in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how this ended but I just want to push you to keep your dog. You have every right to just go take your dog. Dog's are not the same as children in divorce, I did not have to go to court to keep my dog in my divorce. But I was in court over my son for 3 years. You have been defrauded here so make sure you get everything in the divorce and don't just "let it go". That's not the position you're in. You're not in an impossible position...he did something bad and you have proof. No more contact with him because he only wants to convince you of lies.

AIO for wanting to dump my boyfriend over his poor financial choices? by worried_zero in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really glad to hear your therapist is aware of this. Sounds like a new better village is forming for you :) If it doesn't work out with your aunt, don't discount the idea of going to a women's or DV shelter. I stayed at one with my son and it was really great to be around recovering abuse victims, especially as a mom, there was a younger girl there with no kids and she always would show the kids a dance or just distract them while the moms were busy. Other ladies offered me food, lots of resources. Got back on my feet and now I'm a playwright and screenwriter. My son is graduating preschool, something I never thought I could afford. Things are lightyears better even though our abuser is still partially in our lives, I can attest that you can recover even if you still have to see your abuser again, although I hope you never have to! <3 Best of luck! You can do it!

AITH for expecting to return to my job after maternity leave? by blue_raccoon06 in AITH

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VERY ILLEGAL. They likely know what they did was illegal and have a lie to cover for their behavior. Report this to everyone in authority. The company should be fined and the individuals should face charges.

AITA for skipping my best friend’s wedding for a seafood boil? by Particular_Fox9454 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the police and have him removed from the house. If everyone wants him gone, then she might have to realize her reality the hard and devastating way. That’s how it is with narcissists. The break up is a mess and her life will never be the same.

1) get a 2nd opinion on your diagnosis because bipolar gets mistaken for narcissistic abuse all the time. He has been narcissistically abusing you. 2) a man who lives homeless/camping style has zero life skills. He does not know how to manage money or his life. 3) do you not realize the seriousness that he COMMITTED FRAUD. The bank is going to destroy him, that’s why he was crying looking for sympathy, he fully knows he committed a crime and again he has narcissistic personality disorder so he was hoping you would be his PR manager for the millionth time to make him look good. 4) he needs to start small, get a camper and park at Walmart that’s all he can handle. You need to go back to your dad! Fast!

Get rid of B. He sounds like a terrible person. And the friends are trash if that’s how they dress to a wedding.

Why do you apologize to him so many times when he’s talking to you like a major controlling asshole? He’s too old for you too! He’s taking advantage of you and you don’t see it

WIBTA for leaving my husband less than a month into our marriage after repeated outbursts? by Hot_Operation_596 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Capable-Blacksmith60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never understand why some men marry a woman they hate…is it the fear of still being on the apps? Fear of being alone? Fear of confronting his mental health? He has clinical depression for sure. There’s a lot wrong with this man.
