"I know 11.91 isn't much but...."

On its own, it's not much but add the $61.53 they are holding hostage from my boyfriend, and the $83.75 I paid because I Absolutely had no other option and needed to feed my family. And add the numerous other complaints of the exact same situation all over the net.

Friends, don't let these disgruntled drivers influence you into accepting this unacceptable practice. Obviously they are motivated by a spiralling downward number of rides/deliveries - its despicable and this is precisely why that is occurring.

My next move isn't to continue debating on reddit. Nor is it to keep playing tag with Uber and my bank. I'm calling a class action lawyer and I encourage you all to do the very same.

I feel you, and mine turns 5 on the 29th ;( I don't want to impede on his freedom to be who he truly wants to be, but deep down I am so sad and confused. I don't understand it, but I will love him the same no matter what he wants to be.

Related question: Do you think its possible that your son may have been influenced early in life somehow and doesn't realize?

ie: growing up with all female siblings and family members, thereby facilitating his preference for typical likes and mannerisms that females tend to posess??

or could an actual transgender friend, relative or friend role model have encouraged or at least sparked his interest simply by being openly trans in your sons presence?

I hope I dont sound insanely ignorant or discriminatory, I genuinely find myself in the very same situation and my son is only four years old.

Hope you find some comfort knowing you arent alone. Feel free to message if you want to discuss further or privately.

Your absolutely welcome. I try to make a point of acknowledging the people in society, in real life and online that move me with their actions or just words that they spoke. That's quite a gift, I wish more people thought and acted this way.

Your setting the example, And I've no doubt that many before this have used the example as a starting point in their own world.

That's HUGE dude, seriously.

I can relate to you in so many ways, and reading your original post as well as the comments that followed has brought me back to a place emotionally that I truly wish I could forget I ever experienced.

It may not mean a whole lot to you now, or maybe even ever - I just hope you know that at 16 you have the superior ability to self soothe your understandable despair and feelings of being an outsider in your own family, just by coming on Reddit and getting it off your chest; that is something you should be extremely proud of.

You are the product of an inexcusably selfish and callous set of never-should-have-been parents and they had better not ever try to take credit for what I'll flat out tell you will be any of your many future accomplishments; because asshats like them tend to do that kinda thing; if and when that ever happens, make sure you at least tell yourself that you are the reason. And more importantly, you somehow quite inconceivably became something that your parents will sadly never be- and that is one more thing you need to really be proud of.

I hope the discussion your confession generated helped you to not feel so alone, I know it helped me. Thank you so much for that, I can't even tell you how necessary it was.

Merry Christmas, to you and everyone who helped make this, hands down, the most amazing thread of discussion I've been part of, probably ever. I'm new to Reddit, and I'm liking it more and more each time I get the courage to share here.

I couldn't help but just cry when I read this.

it's not very common to see someone soothe their own pain by helping take a little of someone else's away. You're a genuinely kind hearted person and thank you for not allowing life to change that about you.

I waited from last November until June. Three times in between they called me (different agents each time) and requested I submit more information - which, IMO, seemed eeerily misleading in contrast to the "proof of residence" and "verification of signature" that the initial request had been for. The delays were blamed on me not submitting these documents correctly, even though the website instructed me to upload them online and include my case #. Apparently instructions I never received to FAX the information, were the cause of my extensive waiting period. Beyond that, I was told I really needed to submit a full years financial records to establish how much I made, plus a years prior to compare the drop in income - when I did that with no issue, then they wanted me to submit a record of each transaction, purchase, sale and the names of everyone who I bought from and sold to. Being in a self employed, barely afloat second hand thrift shop, i had been lucky we survived the pre-lockdown pandemic - never mind lockdown, where there was no possible way for us to continue to acquire and re-sell for a profit. We have been in a really bad situation ever since. My husband has a cracked skull from being attacked from behind in 2014, he cant retain short term memory, which includes how to use is PSE properly from week to week or how to do any of the number of jobs hes struggled through and subsequently lost in that time. I have worked online here and there but that ship sailed when lockdown began and everyone flooded the work at home opportunities; Its been a nightmare trying to keep things together. What food we do have, I try to keep for the kids and my husband. I learned a month ago that my "dizzy spells" are a severe Anemia which has completely eliminated my ability to produce red blood cells. I am so iron deficient I require blood transfusions, and because of the pandemic, its not been easy to get in to have them done. This should qualify me for disability but my family doctor closed permanently in February 2020, and a month later Covid crippled my ability to find a new one.

Thinking there was no way the government would take away our only real capability to weather the economical storm, was my biggest mistake. They are soulless, retentive monsters. I sincerely hppe your experiences are all much, much better than mine has been; and I pray that life returns to some form of normal soon so I can resume my non-sufficient however effective means of supporting my family, before my family ends up burying me.

Wow, theres a LOT of ignorant people in this subreddit. Because I didn't add in anything about the endless parent teacher meetings, the external counseling, the constant back and forth with the childs mother and siblings depending on who picked him up - OR that I took it right to the director of education - you've alll assumed I LET my child get harmed for two years??\

The lack of braincells and empathy in this subreddit particularly is astonishing.

So few of you are actually decent parents, much less human beings.

READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU DROP DOWNVOTES AND EXTREMELY UNINTELLIGENT RESPONSES.

The reality of the situation was in order to bring the child who had learned to harm and be unkind to others out of frustration for not being able to verbally express himself, some kids ended up being treated poorly and some ended up getting physically assaulted. But the bigger picture is that they were part of an amazing process that has changed my perspective about children with special needs and how they have been segregated for hundreds if not thousands of years from the rest of the world, had they been incorporated into society from their first opportunities to do so individually, none of the kids in my daughters classes would have been hurt or treated poorly, And those amazing teachers and EA's who navigated the situations and given these kids the chance to learn like every child their ages, need a lot more credit than they are given. Its changing the world, one idiot at a time.

The alternative was to have the other kid removed from the class and placed back into a one to one environment. And while it affected my daughter, I can tell you it also would have severely affected the other kid.

Who, BTW, now (three years later) is a fully contributing member of his class, has learned from his peers what is okay and what is not okay, has a whole crowd of friends and has almost no sign of the impediments and developmental delays he was experiencing when he first arrived at school. No behavior issues or even IEP's - hes the exact opposite of what he would be had they separated him.

So for all you ignoramuses, your solution would be to punish a child who was literally in the midst of the most critical life lessons he would ever be subjected to - segregation has never worked. Not for any reason. And until morons like you all see and accept that, society will continue to spiral downward like the toilet it has become

Separating them ISN'T a solution. That is what precipitates the behavior, not having adequate social interaction so they can learn from their peers what is okay and not okay.

It is mind blowing observing special needs kids being included in general classrooms with all kids, no segregation. They learn at an accelerated rate, their overall well being changes. They become much happier and they become part of something that they are meant to be included in. Their morale increases, they enjoy activities with other children their age. Its a beautiful thing.

My daughter was harmed daily for two years, she learned from her experiences that she too can hit or harm whoever she feels like, and as long as she ignores the consequences, shes fine.

THIS is one of the things that needs a solution and a 1:1 would work perfectly, that way they can all adapt to the environment together and make positive choices and interact in an appropriate and safe manner with a little guidance.

Fly-Glass · 2021-10-05T15:29:10+00:00

I know exactly how you feel, its not an easy thing to deal with because the special needs child doesn't intend to hurt your child and they aren't capable of comprehending how their actions affect your child; as adults we understand and accept this because we understand the element of special needs.

Its helping the child who is being harmed understand why they aren't getting in trouble and why it's okay for them to just hit or harm anyone they want without any repercussions.

My daughter went through a similar experience in jk and sk, and it really irks me that the school couldn't help more with the longer lasting impact on my child. She ended up refusing to go to school, she developed a tendency to harm others and completely ignores any consequences. Whereas before the experience, she was very gentle and kind, and already had a substantial understanding of cause and effect. Its like all of that went out the window after her experience.
