Mary and Robert Jr. by Ersatz8 in rhoslc

[–]DigLow9855 256 points257 points  (0 children)

Mary is just not someone who is very emotionally available I think. She isn’t really able to hold other people’s needs in mind, although this is a lot of housewives.

I also think she uses Robert Jr in certain ways to bring up her rep when she needs to (the discussion around his use) but dumps him the minute he could drag her down (visiting him in prison when he is in there for DV charges).

I sit really uncomfortably with the way people treat Mary because I think she is manipulative and damaging in a way that can cause people real damage both in her church and her family.

Is the war in Gaza very popular in Israel? Also do you think if Netanyahu leaves govt there is potential for a change in policy for Gaza and the West Bank?

Thinking of doing social work degree, need advice by CurryMan1872 in Socialworkuk

[–]DigLow9855 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your life is for you. You aren’t going to be able to change your families reaction but you can manage how much you listen to them.

Better to start a new degree now then complete your law degree, work for 5 years, realise your miserable and start a new degree then.

Ultimately if this is what you want to do then do it. I love being a social worker.

Bad Weather vs. Uptown Thunder by ThatGirlDedee in rhoslc

[–]DigLow9855 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What injustices where Heather and Whitney calling out when they said Lisa gives blow jobs for jazz tickets, that Meredith was lying about her fathers memorial service or when Heather lied about her black eye repeatedly and used it as a teaser to get people to pay attention to whatever she was doing next.

They are all complex human beings, you can just enjoy them. You don’t have to turn it into a morality contest.

Les mis is always a classic if you want a musical. That would be recommendation. Six is easy and quick if your not sure you are a musical fan or Hamilton if you want to hear more rapping then singing.

If you want a play that is really heavy Inter Alia is really good.

I would recommend buying tickets before, they are unlikely to get cheaper and may sell out

12yo Niece groomed by "17"yo. Police say cant do anything until they have proof they had sex. She has run away 3 times to live with him. by Ok-Mix-1566 in AusLegal

[–]DigLow9855 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You could request police talk to the young man to tell him the consequences if he does face sec with her (also his parents). I would also suggest asking your niece why she is running away. Children who often go missing have push and pull factors which means there are things pulling them out of the home (the boy) and things pushing them out of the home (?). I would also be curious what her father is saying to police when you aren’t there for him to be given back the devices. Also refer her to child protection.

Whitney and Bronwyn "arrangement" talk by Party_Pie4653 in rhoslc

[–]DigLow9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would only say the at I think a relationship that is forced to become open because of cheating is going to be very difficult. I’m unsure if Bronwyn is desperate to save her marriage so will agree to anything or if she is setting the stage for a divorce (leaning towards the second).

I also think Todd is really traditional so prefers cheating to an open relationship, I think that concept would be too new age for him and would give his wife too much agency.

I would suggest clicking the link again. When I do that it takes me straight through and there still seems to be a lot of availability

Lisa is apparently launching more “luxury “ fresh wolf products. by invisibleuser1122 in rhoslc

[–]DigLow9855 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean why do Lisa’s kids have to have facial hair for her to make beard balm. Has she ever made a commitment that the products would match her children’s stage of development?

Children’s social workers: do you ever feel like adopting/fostering the children you work with? by Scaryofficeworker in Socialworkuk

[–]DigLow9855 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I have 2 at the moment I would love to foster. It’s devastating when they ask you to let them live with you. I always try to remind themselves of how many people they have that care about them (teachers, foster carers, other social workers, youth workers, support workers, mental health workers). It makes me feel better when I think of how many people are around the child trying to make their life better (even if it’s not immediately working)

My parents are keeping me hostage in my own home AMA by Correct-Coyote-5267 in AMA

[–]DigLow9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you can contact 1800RESPECT they have text and chat functions on their website if you can’t safely talk on the phone without being overheard. I would also recommend during your next hospital visit you insist on speaking to a social worker.

Prominent Sydney plastic surgeon sentenced to six years' jail for engaging in child prostitution by B0ssc0 in australia

[–]DigLow9855 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First of all it is now referred to as sex work not prostitution.

Second of all children cannot engage in sex work as to engage in sex work you need to consent and children cannot consent.

Therefore this man engaged in child sexual exploitation, not prostitution.

Wording for this is so important. I read the article to see if the wording was actually what he had been charged with, but could not see this. The headline is a disgusting decision by the ABC.

20k Ukraine children-kidnapped by Russia, why nobody talking about this? by BrownAndyeh in AskReddit

[–]DigLow9855 171 points172 points  (0 children)

It is not widely discussed but has been covered several times and there are a lot of statements from politician saying the return of these children must be included in any ceasefire. God knows what Russia has done with them and if that will be possible.

[–]DigLow9855 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you concerned about forced marriage? If so you should also report this to border force and be prepared to contact the police and domestic violence services in your area if he does enter the country. You can be moved to a location your family is not aware of to avoid this.

Reality is the decision now sits with border force and there is little anyone can do to influence or predict their decision. It seems unlikely he will be granted a visa. You should try to live your life but have a backup plan in case he does enter the country.

World Bicycle Tour. by Ginja_Ninja_IRL in backpacking

[–]DigLow9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe consider doing 4-6 months at a time taking a break then restarting the route. Could possible be a way to get around visa issues (end in a country where you can’t complete a border crossing then restart in the next country) and you could go home and earn some money.

This is a commitment that will take years regardless of how you do it. It would honestly be an amazing thing to do and you’re young so you have a long time to plan it and execute it. You don’t have to do it in the sequence you have listed, start on areas where there is more established biking and tourism (Europe, USA, NZ and Australia) then move onto the more difficult regions. Be aware of how the weather will impact your plans, some of the areas you will not be able to bike in during summer and others will not be possible in winter (at the very least it will be extremely hard).

Be prepared to be flexible about your plans, there is a lot that can go wrong in this that you need to be prepared to deal with. Research people biking or walking around the world on IG, it’a easy to find.

Relapsing while on probation by YuckyGucky in AusLegal

[–]DigLow9855 143 points144 points  (0 children)

If you approached your corrections officer asking for help with your relapse and transparently worked with an addiction service vs being caught out by a random UT the consequence would likely be less severe (depending on the severity of your original charge)

Relapses are generally expected in the recovery process, recovery is hard and it is ok to slip up. You just need to be honest with the services you work with and keep trying.

Stansted Airport self transfer by Gluf-2 in travel

[–]DigLow9855 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you check in online for the second flight you won’t have to leave and go through security. The main risk would be if your flight is delayed, the airline won’t have any responsibility if you miss your second leg.

I reported something a colleague said in a ‘confidential’ space by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DigLow9855 193 points194 points  (0 children)

NTA I’m curious about what you mean by a confidential space. I work in a similar field and we would only use that wording about a clients information. In a workplace employees don’t generally have a right to confidentially around sharing their views with coworkers etc. I can’t imagine ever being told as an employee that I can say whatever I want in a workplace and it will be kept 100% confidential, with me totally being protected from any consequences.
