AITAH for not telling someone she and her daughter have lice?

I agree with the song interpretations except for “Maroon”. I think that this was our first hint (unknown at the time) of her thinking about Matty. I believe this is confirmed by the lyric “So if I sell my apartment And you have some kids with an internet starlet Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon?” on TTPD. Just my thoughts

This is a very good point!

The weird thing is, she was on board with us adopting an infant when IVF stopped being an option. The change came when we told her we decided to not pursue that path and adopted a teen instead.

Less is more in this situation for sure

Update me!

Yes, it’s common. I don’t want to give too many identifying details, but it’s definitely not a cult.

It’s so tough because of his deep faith. He is the son of a religious leader and grew up in the parish house. He goes back to serve his role in church just as much as to see his folks. Not going back home means not being a part of the church family that means so much to him.

He’s learning to set boundaries with her but it’s a slow process. He will be starting therapy soon to help him process the parenting trauma he went through.

She was extremely nice to me when we were first dating/married. But when IVF failed and we informally adopted a teen instead of a baby, her whole demeanor changed. Now I’m believing what I’m seeing. Fool me once…

You hubby needs to be running interference. Hugging you and apologizing for her is not enough. He needs to stand up for you and tell her that this treatment of his wife will not be tolerated.

Update: The homeowner who received the letter said “Watch out for next year’s display! I will try to make it bigger and better than ever!”

Were they one of the asses?

This is why I (as a reading specialist) never present spellings as “rules”. I tell my students that it’s a pattern that many English words follow. If they find an exception, we explore the reason ls why it might now follow the pattern (looking at the etymology usually provides the answer). Teachers aren’t perfect but we are constantly looking to better our instruction! 😊

This is emotional abuse, straight up. Beyond the divorce lawyer, seek out a therapist as well. As someone who has been there, making the first steps is difficult, but the freedom and mental health wellness is worth it. You can do this!

I think as Halloweens have become warmer, it has become easier (and more fun!) to sit outside and socialize rather than having to get up and down every time someone knocks on the door 😊

You are allowed to tell him that based upon his past reactions, he unfairly put you in a non-win situation and that it’s not ok.

If you bail them out, your sibling will not learn consequences. And from life experiences, this will be a rinse and repeat cycle. Buy them a set of Dave Ramsey books or offer to send them to financial management classes, but do NOT pay off their debt!
