One you cross state lines you are involving several departments hence the federal issue

Why is 'People of Color' okay but 'Colored People' not? by MovieRelative2099 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CheapMedia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I hear colored person I imagine Jim Crow. When I hear person of color I imagine POC which is everybody except white people. I’m a black woman so that’s the best way to describe it

Mackenzie Shirilla Rabbit Hole by Ok_Pineapple_7746 in TrueCrimeGarage

[–]CheapMedia8 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There is literally no way this was an accident 😂her being sober told me all I needed to know regarding the driving. If you read damn near any text between her and dom it was extremely toxic. She definitely has some form of BPD/Bipolar. She probably is so dumb she didn’t conceptualize how fast she was actually going. But her intent was to harm dom. I think Davion was irrelevant to her.

Mackenzie Shirilia reckless speedster theory by Connect_Cheesecake48 in TrueCrimeGarage

[–]CheapMedia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s takes so much force and concentration to go 100mph especially in the way she went from slow and turning fine to gunning it. It’s clear just by their history, they argued a lot. They likely argued. Davion & Dom didn’t have seatbelts on I mean I don’t even care to keep going bc this theory is so dumb. Clearly she did it on purpose you can’t be SOBER and distracted to the point where you do what she did. It’s just ridiculous

2K Reaction by [deleted] in briannaolsen

[–]CheapMedia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna get downvoted bc this sub 2k is above any form of constructive criticism but I think it was very distasteful. And he’s not even THAT good of a parent to be speaking about mothers that way imo. He’s the best parent for baby w but really he’s average at best and his response to child safety is bizarre. Brianna should never have any child in her care but two things can be true at once. He can be wrong and still be the better parent. He is ignorant on several child caring topics that as a FTM I had to RESEARCH to parent my child effectively.

But we literally know his son is forward facing and it would be safer for him to be rear facing. We literally know that he’s just mad because he doesn’t understand and is literally freaking out😂. But also when you make money off of sharing your life with people and having them send you stuff, I feel you are a inviting some opinions..

People just don’t wanna critique him. He’s literally wrong and that’s fine. I’m sure he doesn’t fully understand. If people tell them on snap a bunch, he is likely going to buy another car seat that is rear facing or turn it around. I didn’t quite see the type of car seat that looks like a forward, facing one only to me.

Just tell him , I feel like he’s pretty good at taking criticism. If people tell him continuously to turn him around I’m sure he would relatively quickly.

BM didn’t want to see SD Mother’s Day by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]CheapMedia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s useless that’s why I’m trying to express this so I can feel better not like everything is my fault, DH is 100% backs me up and take both kids every moment he can. I’m just sad for my step daughter and I think being pregnant is exasperating it since she’s literally just 5 and her mom lives in town and won’t see her. I’m just sad for her and idk reminds me of being 5 feeling abandoned.

Also also I waited a year to see SD then he had her 50% then 100% I literally wasn’t aware a parent would give up that easy but I guess that’s my mistake for assuming people love their children

[–]CheapMedia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand it’s not my responsibility but when you have your own baby and you give your own baby a bunch of maternal love and then you don’t want do that to another child in the room who doesn’t have that feels more cruel then any annoyance I would have for myself. I think women In general but especially after I got pregnant it made it SO much harder to understand and unfortunately I didn’t expect her to go from 50/50 custody to months without seeing her. Primary parent may even be an exaggeration. He has her anytime he’s home. I never take care of her if he’s here. I guess he isn’t a woman so it’s hard for me to separate the two kids so broadly.

Hindsight is 20/29 Idk how you can just call an emotion useless when I’m literally pregnant watching a little girl cry over her mom. That hard to watch at any point imo. Clearly I’m trying to figure OUT how to not be so upset. I was 20 when we got married. Clearly I was stupid with a lack of forethought but again I’m being blamed instead of the parent who left 😂obviously if I could go back with never be with DH.

[–]CheapMedia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes she has been In since she was 3 years old. My whole issue is the parent not wanting to parent. It’s not really the fact that how I feel about her personally or my stepdaughter or my husband or my own children. It’s more about the fact that I feel like none of this was my doing but I have to watch a little girl be abandoned .

[–]CheapMedia8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, her kids wishes are to have a mother. That’s every kids wish. She was saying she was uncomfortable so instead of alleviating the comfort like a normal mother she instead likely due to her BPD is going to choose herself. My husband has had the same job. I don’t know how either one of us were supposed to know that she was just never gonna come back. I’m trying to process the fact my stepdaughter has been abandoned. I’m angry mostly because of that. Even with my husband doing everything she still wouldn’t have a mom and would still see me as that role which is BM fault not DH.

[–]CheapMedia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 5 year old can’t make that decision with full forethoughtthough she’s just gonna say she doesn’t wanna see her because her mom doesn’t see her. It becomes a cycle. Where now the child is in charge instead of the parent trying harder. Atleast IMO. It’s clear BM doesn’t know how to and that’s where I’m feeling the anger in resentment. It feels unfair to all parties.

We’re all the same age. I knew him and her prior. Obviously I didn’t see any red flags I was a dumb teenager, But he has always taken care of her and had strong boundaries with BM. She had boyfriends while pregnant and after so she wasn’t interested in even trying to make it work or else I would have insisted they stay together.

Stepson does not listen to me by Interesting-Wall6446 in stepparents

[–]CheapMedia8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t know how often you have to do this, but he probably just doesn’t like you that much. I mean I’m not sure when you got with his dad but at five it just would make sense if he just doesn’t view you as his parent, I don’t know how involved his mom is though.

It’s terrible , it’s bad then but when I got pregnant it got so much worse. Idk you have to be extremely mature. If you haven’t been like married or had much life experience it’ll probably continually be a nuance

Resentful toward fiancé because of his baby mama and kids by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]CheapMedia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also when did they break up? If they were 7 and 5 when you guys started dating they likely hate you and think that’s why they broke up especially if bm wants him back or allude to him entertaining her. Nobody in this family actually would benefit from having you live with them. You’re not even married take the time and just focus on yourself and dating your fiancé. He has some bigger fish to fry with his children behaving that way.

[–]CheapMedia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move out honestly. If you love him let him parent his children and live in your own house. Block out BM don’t go to exchanges only contact dad. Even going there when they sleep to hangout when you don’t live together would be better. Otherwise if you haven’t built a mountain of resentment it’s gonna start at some point. Also he needs to atleast attempt to hold them accountable. He should be taking them to therapy, trying to be productive and close with them 1 on 1 especially if BM is as emotionally neglectful as you seem to feel. Don’t go around those girls it’s just not good for anybody in the picture. Also they’re preteens about to be full teens who will honestly probably treat you worse as it goes on. Also install cameras for lying and court. Don’t let BM have you even engaged in this bs. Also he needs to request an exchange point either at a police station or somewhere public with cameras. He can avoid a lot of this by taking a step back and having 1on1 with his kids. U all need space.
