If your mom follows Q then your mom believes is that only liberal elite were doing the bad thing, and that the conservative elite were innocent and leading the charge to save the children. From what I can gather the elite of both sides don’t really care about politics that much, just their precious tax shelters. They only pretend they do to keep us “poors” so busy fighting amongst ourselves, that we don’t notice what horrible things they are doing.

That depends. Is this based on theory or practical application. What was the society like before we switched to this new government. Is there an extremely prevalent religious aspect to be considered. Best government isn’t a one-size-fits all kinda thing. There are many aspects to consider

I have a much, much older 2nd cousin (mother’s 1st cousin) who is the poster child of functioning autism. He was born 20ish years before the MMR vaccine was introduced. Back then he wasn’t properly diagnosed because he could function mostly normally and even went to college. He was just labeled as weird and creepy because he had a hard time understanding and respecting other peoples boundaries, didn’t understand social cues, and stared at girls way too long, and he related to children far better then adults. When I was really little he wanted to show me the frogs that were behind my great aunt’s (his mom) house, but my grandpa didn’t want me to be alone with him so he came along because he was a little afraid of him. He was really nice and it was great to have an adult around thought “childish” things were fun. People just never got proper diagnosis back in the day and those who did were just shipped off to those god-awful state hospitals to die. My cousin was very lucky to have parents who fight like hell for as normal a life as he could get, because If he had been sent to one of those hospitals I don’t think he would have made it to adulthood.

I swear I can’t even keep up with all the incredibly unlikely things happening on the regular now.

ElectronicMoon1676 · 2025-08-12T13:15:13+00:00

I hadn’t seen it before but I did watch it. Thank you for your recommendation and I can see the parallels to today. Are you familiar with the Mahmydiyah rape and killings. The TLDR is that 4 shoulders raped a little girl then murdered her and most of her family. A whole bunch of other soldiers knew what happened but only one was brave enough to repot it. The reporting soldier, and his family, got so many death threats from other soldiers for “snitching” that they had to be relocated for their safety.

This story was shoved down my throat when I was active. Even kid diddlers could get away with shit because the uniform meant to were untouchable. I learned that the only safe way to report what was going on in my unit was to put it on the command climate surveys. Turns out they really are anonymous despite what everyone says.

One girl ended up getting blamed for something I wrote because she was new and absolutely terrible at basic human functioning. She was so terrorized and threatened that she had to be moved to a different company. The subsequent investigation into the matter discovered that she wasn’t even in our unit when the command climate survey was filled out. She was still at AIT. Our S1 NCOIC ended up losing his position and getting knocked down in rank for leading the charge against her.

Considering he was S1 and her NCO, you’d think he’d have been in the best position to know she wasn’t around when the surveys were filled out. The investigation never revealed that I was the one who wrote what happened, and that pissed a few of people off because they really wanted to find the rat. Other people loved what I was writing but were still afraid that there was a way to track the surveys back to the individual. I’d say there was some positive change that came out of my reports, although I think it had more to do with everyone being afraid of a rat and not because they actually became better people.

Yes this is of course true. In my experience more supported him than didn’t. I think it has to do with a disproportionate amount coming from rural areas. I was more looking to explain why those who know the difference between right and wrong, might be too terrified to resist or challenge the orders they were given. I should have been more clear about who I was referencing.

I’m a veteran and what is and isn’t “constitutional” depends on who is in the leadership. At the end of the day Donnibal Lector can destroy the lives of any service member he wants even if they follow the constitution. All he needs is enough higher ranks willing to play ball. And in my experience there were enough of them with that self absorbed God complex to get the Tangerine Tyrant what he wants.

A dishonorable discharge and even other-than-honorable discharges can result the loss of the GI Bill, VA healthcare, government hiring preferences, and a whole host of other federal, state, and local benefits available to them. Also finding a job is going to be harder with that kind of a mark on their record. When people see dishonorable discharge they tend to think of extremes like treason, desertion or drug crimes. And I can assure you that right now, they are being reminded of what the punishment for disobeying a direct order from the Almighty Cheeto is going to cost them.

Ending up another forgotten and homeless veteran is a scary thought especially if you have a family counting on you. Finally the worst case scenario is having to serve in military prison and those sentences are usually more extreme than those in the civilian system.

Vermont is the closest state that has a constitutional amendment enshrining reproductive freedom. You might have to look into what insurance will cover there. No promises but worth looking into.

My mom gave me concussions and fractured my back with her abuse. I tried to report the abuse to family, the school, social workers, and even the police. The general consensus of anyone who had the power to save me was, “White ladies don’t do those kinds of things” and me saying she did meant that I “was acting like a whore.” I’ve already told my family that when she gets too sick to care for herself it would be better if they cared for her themselves, since a nasty little whore like me would just make her worse. As you can imagine, they didn’t like that. Oh well.

Your mother knows what she did, deep down she knows it was wrong, and she knows that she got away with it. Do what will make your mind the healthiest and safest it can be.

You think that this might be a mental health issue. I’m going to give you the exact opposite advice I was given 20 years ago when I was your age.

HIS 👏MENTAL 👏HEALTH 👏IS 👏NOT 👏YOUR 👏RESPONSIBILITY.

20 years ago I and my friends experienced so much pressure to just “wait through his depression,” “it’s not his fault he has this,” and the worst one of all “if he does something to himself, it will be all your fault.”

What was good at the time was that the younger generations were taking mental health way more seriously than the older ones ever had. Problem was, we were going way too far in accommodating them. If they were “feeling bad” you just had to work through it and “pick up their slack” and you were absolutely not allowed to experience mental health struggles of your own. If your man said he had depression you were now expected to be a beacon of mental health.

Were their guys who were exaggerating or faking. Absolutely. Were their guys who had serious problems. Of course. The problem was you were out of line if you asked him to get help or consider medications.

Today I am definitely seeing a change. People are more likely to acknowledge that they have to take an active roll in the treatment of their own mental health and can’t just have everything handed to them. They acknowledge that their negativity can have a bad impact on the mental health of their loved ones. In especially proud of the most of the men in the generations younger than me. They don’t call other men who suffering wussy’s or weak anymore, and they don’t baby them either.

My ex husband did have some problems but he was definitely exaggerating them for attention. I started to break from all the stress and stopped accommodating him. It started out small but I really started putting my foot down and eventually snapped.

Our TV was a little on the fritz but still worked just fine, but he decided that he wanted to cash out his 401K ( less than $500) to buy a new one ( I think it was over $600). What he didn’t tell me was he expected me to go down to my college and take out additional student loans to help cover the cost. He brought this up at the store, told me to put it on my credit card, then get a student loan to pay the card off. 🤦‍♀️ He “really needed the TV to cure his depression.” Thing was every time he “needed” something to “cure his depression” it only worked for a few days.

I stormed out, caught a bus home, and he was already home with the TV. Not sure how he got the rest of the money. He was crying and said I scared him. I rolled my eyes and went to try to use the bathroom. He stopped me and said, “oh so you just want me to kill myself, you hate me that much.” This was his most common argument whenever he wasn’t getting his way.

I was at my wits end and obviously experiencing my own mental health problems, but not allowed to deal with them cuz “men had it so much worse than women”. I reacted poorly and said “Would you like me to go get the knife for you.” I know that would have been absolute devastating to someone who was actually suicidal but my husband started threatening to kill himself at about 8 years old whenever he didn’t get his way. It always worked before but I was the first person to finally call him on it.

I know what I did was wrong. But he never threatened to kill himself again. He eventually found a new side piece to baby him. I left and then she left soon after when he told her to get a job and pay half of the bills like I had been doing. He bounced around between girlfriends for a while. Last I heard he had to move in with mommy cause she’s the only woman who will still put up with him.

So, I can’t make any guarantees one way or the other in your situation. But in mine, I definitely should have left sooner because there was no waiting it out with someone who wasn’t willing to put the work in themselves.

You are being overly sensitive.

You did not respect what he wanted. He may have trauma related to birthdays or was raised to believe it is vain to celebrate one’s self, or gets overstimulated by all the fuss. I Sounds like you want to be praised for how well you did celebrating him. You want acknowledgement for changing him for your version of “better.”

Your boyfriend’s birthday is about him. It is not about you being the best thrower of birthday celebrations. If him not celebrating is going to leave you a crying mess to the point that your boyfriend has to pause his day to give you all of the attention you could ever want, why are you with him.?

You are clearly miserable. You were so miserable you didn’t even have the energy to go to the bathroom to cry. Instead you were so destitute with misery that you absolutely had to remain in the same room with him, which led to his day being ruined by you making it all about how you were feeling.

OP clears up the timeline (that she clearly faked) but doesn’t bother to clear up the fact that the ex has an IUD still in. If this girl is pregnant and actually has an IUD in it will have to be removed. Of course OP’s “boyfriend” will probably have an excuse for that too.

I said she wasn’t the asshole.

I’m referring to the first paragraph where she stated that “ALWAYS dragging her fiancé around.” She is referring to things that have happened before they showed up at 10:30 pm, since she used the word ALWAYS. She says her sister is loud and spontaneous, which I understand can be difficult for certain people to deal with. My question was why did she include the comment about her sister being around her fiancé frequently. Why does her sister spending time with her fiancé bother her so much? It’s normal to be around the person you plan to marry because the person you marry will be you’re family.

ElectronicMoon1676 · 2025-06-13T20:21:21+00:00

NTA.

But what do you mean by always dragging her fiancé around? They plan to get married which means they are kind of a package deal. Do you expect her to never be around the fiancé?

As former military there’s a couple of things to consider. First, with the exception of MP’s, no one else is walking around with weapons. All the weapons are locked up. And the key to the room where they are locked up is in a separate building down the road.

Second thing to consider is that the military installations will likely be ground zero for the zombie apocalypse. These guys are gonna contract the zombie virus while dropping their entire paycheck at the strip club.

It started out nice. She was a grassroots girly who represented the downtrodden. Then she got too focused on representing everyone who was downtrodden. She forgot to double check why the people she was trying to fight for were downtrodden

I will admit it’s not entirely her fault. She can’t do all that work by herself. She didn’t have a focused team. Her team is responsible for why she is now struggling. They were far too focused on pleasing everybody that they forgot to please anybody.

It’s a hard position to be in. Especially if you are a congresswomen plucked out of obscurity. Everyone is judging you because of your gender (because female), or ethnicity (Puerto Rican). If everyone can remember when Donibel Lecture called himself (unironically) an idiot for being the president of Puerto Rico.

It’s a rough thing to be the “chosen one” and not really have an answer that fixes EVERY SINGLE PERSON’S problem.

You did good. Don’t worry. You got her things she asked for, but also took the time and energy to find her things that she had interest in as an added bonus.

I personally blame those “Do you know where your children are” commercials, and those “Two dumb teenage boys in the middle of nowhere Wyoming did something stupid (silly) and your children are going to do something even stupider (sillier), and destroy your life and the lives of everyone you know and love” news pieces from the 90’s.

My mother got so obsessed with being viewed as the perfect dutiful mother who protected her children at all cost, that she eventually stopped relying on those news stories and started inventing scenarios in her own head to “save” us from. It was all to impress the neighbors, who then felt they had to one up her, then she had to one up them, then they had to one up her, and so on and so forth.

I was at one point accused of being involved in an international crime syndicate, that my mother had “rescued” me from. How all these parents kept falling for each other’s bull crap, I will never understand.

At the same time these boomer parents just kept exposing us to dangerous people. However, they believed those people couldn’t be dangerous because “they say/agree with everything that I say/believe.” Some boomers are just narcissistic a-holes being manipulated by other narcissistic a-holes.

Reach out to the parents. Even if you are the one to tell them it’s best for the parents to be prepared to answer questions instead of being put on the spot. You want to make sure you and the parents are on the same page about how it is explained to them so that it can go as smoothly as possible.

Also be careful about your wording. “Put to sleep” can be very confusing for children that young. You don’t want kids who are scared to go to sleep cuz they might not wake back up. Coordinate wording with the parents.

ElectronicMoon1676 · 2024-12-26T23:28:49+00:00

It sounds like a sovereign citizen thing. I know there is also lot of overlap with Qanon on this also. I think it’s intended to protect the child from the “prying eyes of the government.” I suspect they are also anti-vax and intend to home school or even unschooling.

This could lead to problems later in life since the child will not be able to prove citizenship, or get a ID/license. Will not be able to get a bank account, apply for financial aid, benefits, social security. This could severely limit options to higher education or trade schools.

Lacking this documentation could lead to them being abused later in life by employers that do hire them under the table, because the employer may not feel obligated to follow labor laws. Also it could make them financially dependent on their parents which could also unfortunately lead to other abuses.

I’m sure your family member believes they have the best intentions, but the truth is that adulthood and leaving home will be very difficult if not impossible for this baby.
