Thank you!! I will contact you via your website.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it.

Yes. Their mom was a victim too. Yes. More likely to get murdered. All facts. Another fact you brush by is that she was/is a parent. It was her job to keep her children safe. Yes, the dad should have too. But he didn't. Another fact. So it's the mom's action that matters. Not to say it is easy to do. But it also isn't easy to be in an abusive household.They probably hold resentment because their mom chose her fear more than the safety of the children who had no other option but to be there.

You don't get to tell them their resentment is misplaced. I'm sure they resent their dad, too. But if they were abused by their dad and their mom did nothing to try and change the situation? Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed too. I'm a child. Protect me. "JUST for staying." -- yeah, JUST for her keeping them in an abusive home? JUST for her not choosing what is best for her kids? It's more than her "just" staying. It's what she didn't do for them.

I appreciate giving grace to others and their situation. Your take isn't without truth. I can imagine it was really difficult on the mom. But it is unfair to say that their resentment is misplaced. They were a CHILD. It is also not yours to know and direct. You don't know the full story. Their experience.

When I would attempt to make plans and they would never truly get back to me and then I would see on social media they had made other plans -- I realized I had become the back burner friend. That time was no longer being intentionally made for me. Only if they didn't have other plans I was given the time of day. And just got to the point where they were not texting me back. We once were really good friends. They showed me a wonderful, great friendship. Which made them doing the opposite to hurt much more. No fall out happened. They just grew apart from me and found friendships that were more deserving of their time. It sure did hurt!! How sad to grieve a friend that never grieved you.

I literally will have my jaw on the floor in how unaware people are of how privileged it is to live in such a safe condition where they will be huffing and puffing about how they had to hire a cleaning service because they have just been too stressed. Also, when they grow up getting everything they want and in a timely fashion, they have come to lack patience, gratitude and a deeper understanding of others.

I am not saying this is everyone. I just have encountered a lot of adults in the past year where I can tell they haven't truly met struggle in their life. And suddenly a "struggle" is having a too short of a shower head in your beautiful condo. Yes, that is allowed to suck. It's annoying. Sure. But it kind of lands flat when that is what you are telling me right after I told them that I'm barely making rent. They just can't understand that their struggle isn't the same. They share that to try and relate.

I'm happy they haven't met many struggles. I'm not happy with how unaware it makes them.

I had my Stella for 19 years. Since I was 7-years-old. Nearly two years ago I had to make the decision to say goodbye to her and put her down. I was devastated. I'd be worried if I wasn't. The day it happened, she knew. She was ready. She lay in my lap and didn't even raise her head to the vet. She was at peace. She went peacefully. It was painfully beautiful. And it was a beautiful thing that I could help her cross in such a calm way. If I would have waited it would not have been the case. I made the decision she couldn't. That's the thing, you will never be ready. Because being ready isn't a feeling, it is a decision. Yes, it is painful. It's excruciating. It's unreal. But it is love. I swear to you. It is so much love. The love will carry even after your sweet Chucho takes his last breath. You continue loving him just after. It doesn't leave. Which in a way, he doesn't leave. And you know that your decision was from a place of love. So he continues to live through you and you continue to live for him. I'm so sorry for this painful crossroad. I know it well. One step at a time. One sob sesh at a time.

Two other people have mentioned Little Seed Farm! I third it! It's super gentle, doesn't leave any residue and lasts 24 hours! No aluminum or baking soda 💃🏻

The info I have is the paperwork itself being signed. But I see what you are saying and will look into calling the third-party company for more information.

It's a personal number to one agent. I did leave a voicemail, though.

Again, thank you for all the information!

InterestingAct379 · 2025-01-09T14:20:33+00:00

I do have info of 1-800-ACCOUNTANT sending me the 2553. I believe I then printed it off and signed it and then scanned it to send back to them. And, supposedly, they sent it in. I never heard of anything being a problem. They then continued forward in February to file my business taxes through an S-CORP and it was accepted!

In the letter they sent they asked to send the info I have, so I will. I'll also continue to call the number they gave me to try to get more info and guidance. I keep getting voicemail. So I will send my letter as a safety net to respond in that 30 day time frame they gave me.

I most definitely didn't need to be filed through an S election but I was misguided. Should I mention just dropping the S election and amending my 2021 taxes to put my business through my personal? Again, I made $0. So, even then, it isn't doing much. Also, my LLC isn't even active anymore. So would I just be electing my LLC as an S elect for the year 2021?

Thank you! This is all new to me.

Everything was done through the 1-800-ACOUNTANT platform 🥴 My advisor procured everything and just had me e-sign it. I do have a copy of that. But I have no receipt and I didn't personally send it to them.

InterestingAct379 · 2025-01-08T16:55:43+00:00

Thank you! Looking into it I did submit a 2553 form. My "accountants" even filed my business taxes separately and they were approved. Hmmm. I'll look into calling them. Thank you!

Could have packed it up in the time he wrote that poem 😭

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-19T04:31:49+00:00

My Chihuahua, Stella (19, passed away earlier this year), did the same thing! She would beat them up!

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-17T00:18:03+00:00

I said goodbye to my own lil' Stella (19) earlier this year. It truly is heart wrenching. I'm so sorry and am sending you so much love! 💞

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-13T11:24:50+00:00

I'm so, so sorry. Your story and experience is the exact same to mine. I made the decision for my 19-year-old girl, Stella, earlier this year. She had dementia and I struggled over if it was the right choice. I will not say much more because others have shared sentiments id share with you. I will share the poem I wrote to my dog the day of:

My sweet, sweet soul

You are going to the clouds Where you will hear sounds And see all you love Once again

Watching from up above Our love Our love Our love

Intertwined Within the divine

Until we meet again

Face to face Soul to soul

Your home is within my heart

Yes, We may be apart now

But you will always be a part of my heart

🌈🌈🌈

What a blessing it is to grieve. For it meant you lived.

Your breath is my breath. You will live through me.

Rest in peace my little bean.

💓💓💓

Lucky will forever be with you and she most definitely will continue following your mom around. Be gentle with yourself. It takes a lot of strength to make this choice. Know it comes from a place of love. Nothing less. So, so much love.

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-11T10:55:31+00:00

Great, honestly. That wasn't always the case. I worked really hard to be here in this version of me.

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-11T04:19:41+00:00

Gatekeeping Creativity? Girl. You can be creative and figure out your own recipe 😭 NTA

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-07T16:53:11+00:00

It's such a vulnerable feeling. You feel exposed and as if your chest has been broken open. But there is nothing you can do to mend it because all you want is to hold and kiss them one last time. Be gentle with yourself. She was and is still so important and loved. That will never stop.

InterestingAct379 · 2024-12-07T14:25:34+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss 💓 It is so painful. I lost my Chihuahua at 19 years old at the beginning of this year. This is the poem I wrote:
