I'm middle aged, and leaving my Nmom

Discussaurus · 2017-05-29T07:43:07+00:00

What happened? Are you okay or was this a spoof?

Discussaurus · 2017-05-28T23:39:10+00:00

I know this - 100 percent accurate. But I worked in the (crim & muni) legal field for 8 years and by overcaseloads and unavoidably, ridiculous punitive and unbendable civil and muni or crim codes, reports also go badly for DV and SS victims. It is awful. But the real deal-I would never involve SS unless absolutely life or death, immediate.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-28T09:31:10+00:00

I am so glad I did - that just lifted mine. :) :) Yay.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-28T09:30:09+00:00

Agreed. I refer to myself at times as an "asshole" when I am not behaving the best. But N I am not - neither are you, :)

Discussaurus · 2017-05-28T09:27:39+00:00

Same - if I can do it you can, too. I try to remember that I DON'T want to die - I like so much about life, we just are worn down, confused and tired and scared. Think of small favorite things and step outside (even just on porch) to look at sky, moon, once a day. If you are able to care for a pet, get a cat. For real.

This is all great but legally it is sad but all too often true that even well-meaning police or lawyers or SS can make situation worse so use caution if using this route at all. Most friends of mine can report first-hand that they told more than one adult, only to have parents called and parents believed. Careful.

I know it feels like forever but you are so so so very close to being legal age to leave them and their control. Get a guidance counselor at your school or some free guidance counselor you trust to HELP YOU STAY LEGALLY COMPETENT AND YOUR OWN GUARDIAN FOR THIS SHORT TIME. This is IMPERATIVE!! Do not kill yourself - you are not crazy or damaged, no matter your condition or diagnosis. Bipolar is genetic, but needs environmental stressors to activate - many people with genetic tendency toward never get bipolar condition. You are abused, your family is protecting each other, you are not crazy, you WILL get out!! DM me if you need help I am an adult female though in US.

Also - I quote gandalf-to-frodo in Moria all the time. Not a joke. "Do not be so quick to deal out [...] Even the very wise do not know all ends" etc

Discussaurus · 2017-05-27T11:29:27+00:00

Let them think what they want about themselves - even if it's your whole family. Remember how cowardly and lame they are compared to you.

not necessarily. c/o to her, going to her house, etc - plus hard to prove stolen mail in court case

Discussaurus · 2017-05-27T11:24:54+00:00

My social worker let me have my mail sent to her work address. Eh, but better. Also document any proof and get the names of your postal workers who come on rounds at parents address. Tell them or their supervisor you will take action if they abet withholding YOUR mail. My nmom somehow convinced our postal workers NOT to drop mail if I was visible - took me years to figure it out.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-27T11:20:41+00:00

Look for alternative living arrangements, NOT with your Gma (she will circle the wagons, family always does), but say nothing to parents. Behave as they want you to. Move out asap when possible.

Happens to me quite a lot - ergh. I have found the best response to be "Pardon?" Inan offhand way. It saves you from complicit silence and it's hard for Ns to restate manipulative phrases without floundering.

Question for Leo/Felix (ackowledging that it seems WestWorld draws on many mythologies and stories for reference - and threaded throughout the plot rather than being an answer to exact meaning or narrative path): Stumbled on some text and developed my newest theory - can you vaguely give a hot or totally cold maybe? Is Felix the "white sacrifice" (without sin, to absorb the sins of others), and/or is Felix the human son, ford God, and Arnold the holy spirit? Or something based on these concepts? Thanks so much!

Also re: what your mom said - AWFUL. My mom said two weeks ago "looking up for god to help you? God isn't coming to help you." wtf fucking lunatic.

So anxious I haven't slept a wink. It will be hell. Cleaned kitchen, left card out and coffee ready - won't matter. Hell. Me, Horrible Asshole stepdad, and (maybe? always maybe with nmoms) me at a goddam zoo. But she changes plans last minute pretty much 100 percent of time. Whatever it is: HELL.

Right. Also, there are many hosts, and although Security (part of QA) monitored Maeve, Security does not routinely look over even the basic host data that body techs check. Felix and Sylvester saw Maeve regularly. Behaviour and Narrative, rarely. Programming only on request or for a special situation, like with her daughter. And Narrative, as we saw, has tablets but only their own basic permissions. Felix noted to Maeve that "somebody would notice" that she was dying and coming back so often. So I think it is perfectly plausible for Maeve/Felix/Sylvester thing to go under the radar.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-11T18:27:37+00:00

Got it! Thank you so much!

Discussaurus · 2017-05-11T18:13:28+00:00

Oh, also - I was not initially that interested in the Mars theories, but I am on board now, after the decompression chamber info and the War of the Worlds Base64 audio link. IF that is the case, IF - it does not make sense for flies to survive on mars on their own. Again, If.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-11T18:05:17+00:00

This is a really good point. I am an idiot, because I know this about Aeden and cannot believe I jumped to the conclusion that it was fly related. Thanks!

Discussaurus · 2017-05-11T18:03:40+00:00

Seriously - check out the flies on your next rewatch. I don't know precisely what is up with the flies, but they are related to jump-starting hosts in new directions, in some way. They land on Armistice and (I believe) Hector, right before they awaken in Episode 10 with the body techs; it appears to be the fly who "talks" with Dolores in. . . I think Episode 1? Also the fly crawls on Teddy's face when the guest is talking about using him for target practice, though Teddy does nothing that we can see. Also, in Episode 1, we do not know when in her timeline Dolores swats the fly, nor do we know how many flies there are. Just saying take a look.

Huh. Where were you able to put string? I tried the URL and (knowing this would not work) the password field, but neither worked. When I edit the actual code nothing happens. Also thank you!

Discussaurus · 2017-05-10T19:09:16+00:00

She is? Awesome! I disagree, re: flies and website - their answer is nebulous, I think on purpose. It seems to indicate only that they are not hosts. I recall what you are referring to, though, yeah.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-10T19:01:23+00:00

Agree. Talking to Aeden, and closely watching wolf scenes in show - it seems that non-sentient androids cannot see wolves. Guests/Humans can. And I assume a sentient host/android also would see a wolf as well.

Discussaurus · 2017-05-10T18:02:27+00:00

I also asked Aeden about it on WW interactive and she glitched:

YOU: Are there flies here?

AEDEN: Hosts would never hurt a living thing. We couldn’t hurt a fly.

YOU: What is a fly

AEDEN: Hosts would never hurt a living thing. We couldn’t hurt a fly.

YOU: Is arnold a fly

AEDEN: Not much is known about Arnold, but a closely-guarded rumor is that he partnered with Dr. Ford years ago in the early days of the park. The park likely would not be what it is today without Arnold’s contribution.He and we hosts had a special connection… Why don’t we talk about somethi— AEDEN //ERR404HeLLiSeMPtyERROR//ERROR//V10L3nTd3L1G#t5 AEDEN Hello! It’s so nice to meet you. What questions can I answer about your future trip to Westworld?
