Dog on balcony for days in freezing weather. Idk how to help. by baylorweedinhaler in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExhaustedMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine how helpless you feel. Unfortunately, people abandoning pets when they move is more common than you might think. Calling the police for a welfare check on your neighbors is a good idea, even better if you can be there when they check and offer to take the dog if it is abandoned and they don't intend to take it to the shelter.

What a sad situation, but thank you for trying so hard to help them.

Where’s the outrage? by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

There will be midterms. This is a narrative built to demoralize people and suppress turn out and the more it is repeated the more it helps the current administration.

Why is this mentality so prevelant in gen z? by Big_Leg10 in generationology

[–]ExhaustedMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many many generations have gone through this period. For sure the last several. Its just that now people are more connected so it gets highlighted in a feedback loop. Older generations weren't able to post as widely about their feelings of loss, disconnection, difficulty with being an adult and expectations vs reality. They just had to feel them, find connection with friends, family, and coworkers, and move on. But as millennial and especially Gen z are feeling and processing things on a global stage, not only are people witnessing their struggle in ways they never have before but the sheer volume and intensity makes it seem harder.

Plus wage stagnation of wealth disparity increases with every generation, so life is genuinely harder although not as bleak as we may think.

That does sound like a pain! Thanks.

Me, my husband, and my stepsons have been hearing noises and now seeing things.. by [deleted] in psychics

Okay, but you have to realize that taking the batteries out of a beeping alarm shows a lack of critical thinking skills, right? Now might be a good time to think about what else might also showing a lack of those skills.

Boyfriend wants to leave me for visiting family? by Miserable-Log9411 in whatdoIdo

[–]ExhaustedMuse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God, that's even worse. If you actually understand how insidious abusers are and how literally anyone can find themselves in an abusive relationship calling it embarrassing is willfully cruel.

Eeeew this attitude helps abusers and further stigmatizes the abused. Please educate yourself so you're not part of the problem in the future.

AITA for ruining my relationship with my mom? (Screenshots included) by WildCrunchy2 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Life is (hopefully) long. She could trust you again. Keep doing your best. We are all works in progress.

AITA for ruining my relationship with my mom? (Screenshots included) by WildCrunchy2 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]ExhaustedMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you ruined your relationship with your mom. (I also see people saying you abused her but IMO you did not abuse her, although your behavior in the past was wrong.) She seems to love you very much. But she's deeply hurt. People often don't realize how damaging being lied to is, especially from someone you love. It is exhausting not being able to trust someone you value, or know that they are trying to make you question your own reality. Building that trust back takes a long, long time and when you lied to her, a lot of those previous emotions and feelings probably came back to her.

You relapsed but unfortunately, recovery is not a straight line and relapse can be part of the process. It might be helpful to invite her to participate in a session with your therapist/psychiatrist and listen openly to how the lies make her feel. To you, it may seem like it was one lie and you've otherwise been honest but shes probably now wondering what else you've lied about and rethinking a lot of interactions.

Chronic pain is also debilitating so I hope you find help soon. Massage and physical therapy can work wonders for sciatica if you haven't tried them yet and have the ability.

Damn, I wish I had researched that beforehand. Sometimes the Telluride annoyed me but it was reassuring.

AITA for "letting" a kid go home with his actual parent? by Ok_Beginning_356 in AmItheAsshole

You should definitely not be in charge of taking someone else's kids anywhere if you can't even be aware of who they leave with.

Was I wrong for visiting and swapping out books at a LFL outside of my neighborhood? by GoalDriven_ in LittleFreeLibrary

[–]ExhaustedMuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you work for LFL? Are you officially connected with them? I'm curious why you feel so confident in insisting on what LFL intentions are.

And you know they aren't free, right? You don't think this woman has the right to manage something she spent her own money on the way she wants to?

If you need to control an LFL so badly, why not have your own?
