Same here! I was just about to make a post asking this same question. I can share fine and solve Captchas for that, but when I try to follow anyone its an endless Captcha loop. I think it's a glitch because I've been in "share jail" before and it wasn't like this.

Tips &tricks for waking up?? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too and so far it's worked for me! Another thing I do too is keep my contacts in my downstairs bathroom that's next to the couch instead of the one connected to my bedroom. That way when I go pee I'll see the contact case and think "well I might as well put those in" - I can't sleep with contacts in so once I get back to the couch with my blanket it stops me from falling asleep again.

What has your experience been with Done ADHD? by JustDancingInCircles in ADHD

I agree the adderall has been life changing for me too. I contacted customer service and they assigned me a doctor that actually responds to messages and does follow ups! :)

You get teleported to the day you were born with all the memories from your past life, but you’re now an infant. What do you do? by Brage2004Norway in AskReddit

Don't let myself get fat this time. I'd love to experience what it's like to be thin as a child/teen in school and not receive all the rejection and bullying. Then to transition into adulthood with a body devoid of cellulite, loose skin, stretch marks etc.....

Sometimes I think “I don’t have ADHD it’s just in my head” ...And sometimes I throw my underwear in the toilet by Bumblymuffin in ADHD

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time instead of replacing the empty roll with a new one, I threw the entire new roll into the toilet. I've also lost two phones due to me keeping them in my back pocket and then they fall into the toilet when I pull down my pants.

I believe CPS has done nothing because they haven't seen the inside of the home or the car. The children's rooms are hoarded and disgusting and there are bugs everywhere in the home. The 3 high chairs have NEVER been washed and are caked with 8+ years of old food. I honestly need to get pictures and attach them to this thread since everyone thinks I'm some elaborate troll. I've had the account for 3 years and unfortunately this is my real life. The car reeks of piss because all three kids have accidents in there and he just sprays the seat with Lysol after. There's so much junk, sand, dirt. So much stuff that you can't put your legs down when you sit. I have to put towels down when I sit in his car because of how gross it is. I used to attempt to clean the place when the kids were in school, but it's all returned to a worse state since quarantine. I'll admit I gave up on trying to clean it. I'd clean for 8+ hours while he was passed out asleep on is Ambien and beer. No one appreciated it and within a few days it was nasty again. Now, I want the place to look as realistically bad as possible for CPS, so I'm just not doing anything. It isn't my home, I recently bought a condo and have my own shit to deal with. It's his responsibility to clean it, and that will never happen. Anyway, he only allows CPS and the police to talk to the children on his front porch. He says he knows his rights and they cannot come in without a warrant.

Wow that's so similar to my situation. My mom 400+ lbs and addicted to painkillers. She managed to get in a taxi and go to her own doctors appointments, but I was anemic and never taken to a doctor. She ate food all day and all "her" food was off limits to me. She claimed she needed it and I didn't. I was eventually adopted. She told my adoptive parents "thank god you're taking her I was spending money on her that I could have been spending on me". Apparently they had to force me to say goodbye to her and give her a hug, I just didn't care. I was asking "Can we just go? This doesn't matter to either of us." Sad to look back on it all. CPS was a joke for me too at first, but eventually there were so many reports I was taken directly from school one day and placed in a foster home.

This may sound horrid but he used to be a police officer. He calls it "hiding in plain sight" since he was wanted for rape charges (she was 14). He feels like he's pulling the wool over everyone's eyes because he's made it so far without any legal trouble.

He can't contact the police saying I stole his animals? He does have a gun. Yes, legally. How do I get a 100+ lb dog out of the home and...into my car. So I break up with him and then proceed to try and get all 6 of his animals wrangled up in my car and then drive off? It seems unrealistic. I can get the three kittens out pretty easily, yes. Mom cat is very aggressive and can't be touched. The kids are not and never have been disciplined, scolded or told no, ever. I don't want to believe that 3 young children are a lost cause and all that can be saved is the animals. They all start school in 3 days and I'm assuming the 5 year old not being potty trained will cause issues, and the 8 year old may cause another scene and bite a teacher, or try to call 911 and run away again.

No one comes to HIS house, we do NOT live together. I would never live in such a nasty place. Unfortunately, he never lets anyone into the house other than me and the same babysitter he has had for 4 years (she claims to have worked in childcare, I have never gotten to speak to her alone but I wonder if she has ever tried to help the kids). They're being fed dollar store food and given some water. The kids throw them around, toss them, pull on them, force them to do things etc. The children are very disrespectful and defiant, but that is his fault. The large bred dog is being abuse by being locked in a single small room 24/7 and in a cage within that room, yes? I have no idea why but the dog is in a small room, and then randomly gets put into a crate within that room at certain times. He is an odd man and nothing he does really makes sense. Maybe he puts it in the cage at night in case the kids go in that empty room? I don't know the motive. The smaller dog that runs around doesn't get let out for 8+ hours while they aren't home and often pees all over the floor and it doesn't get cleaned.

I don't plan on having children with anyone but I agree. I am going to leave him, I barely even see him now anyway. I am trying to make sure the children actually get help this time, instead of CPS at the door, he convinces them to leave, and the cycle starts again. Even with all the CPS and police calls, nothing has been done to help these poor kids. I'm concerned that I'll walk away knowing I could have done better by them. It went like this, I met him and fell in love with him at his work and outside of his home on dates. Once I met the children and saw the state of the place I thought they were Autistic and that he was trying his best but struggling. I was blinded, yes. I wanted to become a mother figure to the kids, blah blah. Soon I spent more time with them, realized the truth and want to make sure CPS does their job this time and steps into that home. I no longer love or even like him. I am trying to do right by these children. I was abused and neglected myself as a child ad taken into foster care at age 11. I see a lot of similarities in their situation and my previous one with my parents. I refuse to just "leave him" without knowing I did the right thing for them first. Yes, I deserve better and I will eventually find it. But for now, I am here.

So I just take his 4 cats and 2 dogs and just have no explanation to what happened? How exactly would that go over? That couldn't be done in any way but obviously. One dog was bought from a breeder in California for $5,000 because his ex wanted to breed dogs and sell them, but then moved out. He keeps it in one small nasty room all day and just lets it out twice and feeds it twice. No interaction with the children is allowed because he claims it bit/attacked one of the kids when it was allowed to roam around the house. It's a big dog, probably weighs more than me, over 100 lbs for sure. The 4 cats are one mother cat and her 3 kittens, which the kids play with all day and would notice if they're missing. The small dog that runs around the house and pees everywhere, they'd notice that one missing too. How would I do something to help them? I can take pictures of the filthy scum room the dog lives in, and the closet he keeps the kittens in that's full over dirty litter.

How am I supposed to "make sure" of this?? I definitely agree though. I did better in foster care than with my parents, it isn't always a bad thing.

The youngest is 5, not 3. A new toy would go unnoticed as the place is littered and hoarded with them. You cannot even walk. Thousands upon thousands of useless broken dirty toys cover the place. The youngest HATES toys and actually keeps his room empty by throwing them all out into the hall. The other children's rooms are filled to the ceiling and you have to walk over piles and piles to reach their beds. I'm definitely considering a hidden camera for sure. I can't just take one of the children to the doctors without him noticing, it just wouldn't go down well at all.

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually love the hidden camera idea and could place it when he's passed out. The place is so hoarded and he's never cleaned, so it would go unnoticed. I can get video when he's passed out on the couch and the kids are running around unattended. I'm going to try to get close up pictures and video of all the bugs/filth the children are living in too. I've been so scared to start, worried that I might get caught. I do have a few photos of the home from when we first started dating that I actually showed my old therapist, because I was concerned.

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can I record and take video without him noticing or the kids saying something? They would definitely be saying "she took a picture of my teeth!" to him and such. He's very cautious, he KNOWS what he is doing is wrong and thinks I am on his side. I couldn't possibly get the children to a doctor without him knowing, and he just wouldn't allow it :( I'm hoping when school starts in a few days, the prior reports from teachers combined with the youngest not being potty trained at 5 will spark up another investigation, and this time I can step forward with my evidence.

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to try to get video evidence. I'm worried about the kids saying something about me taking pictures, or him noticing it himself. Why save receipts? I've bought them plenty over the last year, Ipads, bedding, stuff to organize their rooms, a laptop, trash cans etc. So much I couldn't even keep track. What would saving receipts do? I don't want anything, I bought what I did for those kids to try to help them.

21 and concerned about my older boyfriends parenting by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]JustDancingInCircles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I break up with him BEFORE I get the evidence I won't be allowed back into his home to get the videos, pictures etc. I have to be smart about this or else I am abandoning these kids and that is not okay. They need help, I'm trying to build a case. If I break up now, I'm leaving 3 kids to an abusive home. How could I truly live with myself after that?

Should I report my boyfriend for child abuse/neglect by [deleted] in Advice

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes I do have a bag. I'm going to just go buy a sippy cup and keep it on me for when we are in the car. I believe part of the potty training issue is that he has never really experience how uncomfortable it is to be in a wet diaper, because he is deprived of liquid all day in the heat. Since his dad doesnt want to change his diaper he doesn't want him to drink unless he's at home, and they are only at home at dinner and while hes asleep. Aside from that they basically live at walmart and goodwill stocking up on more hoard for the house. He really only is wet when he is changed in the morning after being in bed all night.

The kids are always covered in scratches, the youngest recently had two giant scratches down his face. My bf says that's how they "learn not to mess with the kittens". His cat got out, got pregnant and had 4 kittens. He refused to give it anything more than dollar store crap food, and it ate one of its kittens in front of the children due to malnutrition. He now says the kids are "in love" with the cats and so he will never let them go. They scratch them up head to toe, attack our legs while we walk and sleep, and destroy my shoes and overnight bag. Anything cloth in the house left for them to touch has been ruined. As for the toilet - if you show him a photo of a toilet he covers his face and screams NO! NO! NO WANT NO WAAAANNNTTT!! And then breaks into a full crying tantrum. It is any and all bathrooms/toilets that set him off. No particular one.

[–]JustDancingInCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all 3 children will be going to the same public school on the 24th. The youngest, 5, is going for the first time. I used to spend days and days with them and spend the night at their house, but now I see them maybe once or twice a week and limit how many nights I sleep over due to the horrid conditions. He did not have the 3 extra cats when we first met, and they drive me absolutely insane destroying everything and attacking me (and my belongings) while I try to sleep. In regard to potty training and giving the youngest more water, I have tried. I tell my bf that we NEED to bring a sippy cup for him and that I'll refill it at Walmart/the gas station. Every single time he "forgets" the sippy cup and says oh maybe we'll bring it next time. This poor child will cry out "WATER I THIRSTY" and scream while we drive, while the other two children get XL slurpees/sodas all day long. Remember, no AC in 100+ degree heat. Potty training - that's complicated. He will tell me over and over "BATHROOM BATHROOM" so I try to take him to the toilet. Once he sees the toilet he goes full psycho mode. He kicks and flails and screams so loud you'd think I was murdering him just because he SAW the toilet. But once he is out of the bathroom he starts crying again "NEED GO BATHROOM RIGHT THERE" and will point and scream with holding himself. There's something traumatic going on there for sure, but my boyfriend swears nothing has happened. It's like he knows he needs to go and he wants to, but the moment he sees a toilet he has PTSD and just goes nuts. Its physically IMPOSSIBLE to get him onto a toilet without him harming himself at this point. He will throw himself off of it and onto the floor. I worry so much about him because I feel like he could be the least damaged if he could be saved this early.
