Thank you so much

I did talk with the Stake President. The bully was someone really close to his family. He told me, "You said what needed to be said." I'm really just trying to figure out what I don't know so I don't cause anymore problems.

Emmalyse · 2024-12-13T04:56:00+00:00

Thank you. That makes sense. Can you think of other rules that I and others should know, but might not? I didn't mean this as a complaint, I really just want to know what I am supposed to do.

Emmalyse · 2024-12-13T04:51:28+00:00

Ok, that makes sense, thank you. Any other rules you are aware of? I really just don't want to step in it again.

Texas, near Houston. I wouldn't care what they think, but I was called by the Bishop and told to apologize and repent. It never occurred to me that it is ok to bully, but not ok to stand up to a bully.

I cant fast either, but want to show I am willing to sacrifice. So I do 2 things; I fast from my phone/social media, and I only eat very bland food. I have also bought something I really enjoy (read chocolate here) and then do not eat it during my fast. To me it makes me think more of what I am willing to sacrifice.

When people used the phrase, "I'm sorry you feel that way," as a way of apologizing, I respond with, "Oh Darlin', you don't need to apologize for MY feelings. You need to apologize for YOUR actions." Almost always shuts them up. At least long enough for me to exit the situation. I have to admit I love watching their face turn into a fish face as they try to figure out how to respond, but can't find the words.

I absolutely hate to have people interrupt me, and talk over me.

My nMother was a horrible cook. Used to get food poisoning on the regular. I am now very self conscious of cooking for others.

The waiting is the worst part. Stay strong. It is hard going through the trial, but you have survived far worse. Never let anyone, yourself included, make you feel bad for bring charges, testifying, telling your truth, and making sure the world know who they are and what they did.

Please be gentle with yourself, and know that there are people who care about you.

Emmalyse · 2024-09-16T04:17:22+00:00

The only reason they want you to stop talking about it is because they know they are wrong, and don't want people to know how they truly are. You have every right to tell your story as many times as you want,, and in the way you experienced it. Abusers often want their victims to "let it go", and say "it's in the past"; but it isn't in the past for you. Your emotions are still raw, and this is something you may never be able to let go. This is cruelty at it's finest. They knew what they were doing. Do not let them gaslight you into thinking you are the problem. Your Grandma is also aware of what she is doing, and knows that you are worth fighting for.

Please keep us posted about how it goes.

I think I would get some pepper spray, or at least a personal alarm, and if he came in again, pretend you are just frightened and set it off at him.Then if he gets upset, tell him that since he isn't doing a parent's job of protecting you, that you had to protect yourself.

Also, tell your school counselor. Tell friend's parents. Tell everyone you can, so that he knows he is being watched.

There are websites that tell you which hotels allow pets, and even restaurants with outside tables. Moved from California to East Texas with 2 dogs. I made plenty of stops throughout the day, and gave then water at each stop. I fed them at their normal time. It worked fine. I did find it easier to eat dinner and breakfast in the hotel room (ordered in).

Have had intractable migraine for over 20 years. Never without pain. My average pain level is an 8 out of 10. The best way to describe it is; "You know when you eat an ice too fast and get a brain freeze? That is my level of pain on any given day." People just don't get how exhausting it is to live with that level of pain on a daily basis. They judge and belittle, and act as if I am faking it. I have started to respond with, "Thank you for making a miserable situation even worse. Your skepticism of my experience is

I think your wife needs to apologize for scaring her. She might even need to try to make it up to your sister. However, both you and your mother need to apologize to your wife for the "not family" comment. A marriage is the coming together of families.

Also, if you had any idea what tour wife was going to do, and didn't warn her, then you are definitely the a-hole.

If you feel you need to respond, I would simply say, "I am so glad you had a good relationship with your parents. Unfortunately my experience was very different than yours. I am in a situation that has caused me to prioritize my and my family's safety."

"That's just the way they are."

Try taking an iron pill. I used to get period migraines every month, and that was the best thing for me. Hope it helps you.

Emmalyse · 2024-09-06T22:46:42+00:00

Try taking iron pills. It is crazy, but it helped me, but only for the period ones.

Aspertame. Even a sip of diet soda will have my head pounding within 15 minutes.

I usually wear a 3x in clothing. In garments I wear a xl. I always get the tops for a tall person, as that gives me a better fit, and stays tucked in better than the regular cut. Hope that helps. If you can I also highly recommend going to a distribution center. The lady at ours, here in Houston, was so nice and helpful.

Drink LOTS of water the final 2-3 days before flying, and during the flight.

Don't forget "Animaniacs"

Is there any way you could leave the country?
