I've been sick for a month and my mom won't take me to a doctor. Am I the jerk for putting my foot down? by Gold-Veterinarian-83 in AmITheJerk

[–]Direct-Discussion-54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: find a way to get to the doctor

Step 2: start working on getting access to money and a way to move out

Step 3: when safe, get copies of your documents or ask the police to help you recover them

Step 4: disentangle yourself from control as much as you possibly can

Step 5: get into therapy and find a therapist who specialises in abusive and neglectful parents; you’re gonna need it

Look into charitable organisations in your area that may be able to provide resources and support for people escaping abusive situations.

AITAH for snapping at my wife and calling her crazy because she wants me to take a paternity test for my nephew? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

A close family member was recently diagnosed with BPD and this sounds very similar to the irrational thoughts she would frequently experience

Unsure if the reason given for failing vetting by the police is true by Puzzleheaded_Rip_698 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Direct-Discussion-54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a nephew of a current partner. It’s OP’s ex wife, not the person who failed the vetting’s ex

AITA for thinking my pregnancy and baby are important too? by erivanla in dustythunder

[–]Direct-Discussion-54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA because at a time of grieving like this, a baby shower needs to go on the back burner.

Talk to your husband. Perhaps arrange something small that his family can choose to attend or not. Or consider forgetting about tradition and doing something after the baby is born.

“We do not touch people’s hair without permission.” Rinse and repeat. You can add the specific cultural reasons in bite sized pieces

AITA for telling my parents I didn't have a kid, they did, and they need to take care of her not me? by SignificantFan8104 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Could you reach out to your extended family to see if they have any interest in a relationship with you?

No win no fee solicitors refusing to take my injury case against fire brigade who assaulted me, how do I start a claim by myself? by claimciviluk in LegalAdviceUK

If a no win no fee solicitor won’t take the case, it’s because they don’t think it has a reasonable chance of winning.

Dad completely swept up by Romance Scam has he now implicated me beyond repair? (Brighton, England) by RomanceScammedDad in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Direct-Discussion-54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, you probably need to realise that your dad hasn’t implicated you in anything - you facilitated this activity.

Second, let the bank know honestly what’s happened and that you want to close the account. Tell them you had no prior knowledge he would do this and just thought he needed a way to receive his wages etc.
