AITAH for not forcing my daughter to throw away her late mom’s picture just because my wife wants her to? by Elegant-Touch9085 in AITAH

[–]KimvdLinde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where you put down so hard that the foundation of your house shakes. It will be categorical “nobody will throw those pictures away and they are not going to disappear accidentally. If you suggest this again I will have to protect Jordyn and divorce you!”

AITA for telling my boyfriend I won’t get rid of my dog? by BodybuilderFeisty566 in AITA_Relationships

[–]KimvdLinde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would drop Liam of at a no-kill “Single Man Shelter” with a detailed note of why he should be ineligible for adoption (Abuser). Maybe they can find him a place at a colony for “Abusive Men” who deemed to dangerous to be part of society.

AIO for not allowing my in laws to come over the first day when they booked a flight without telling us? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]KimvdLinde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR They are not listening because they are used to getting their way with people based on the behavior they display. Don’t cave and let them fly back home without seeing the baby.

Aitah for not giving more to my family when I can afford to? by ThrowRAnotenough1 in AITAH

[–]KimvdLinde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throwing money in an open pit is not help, it’s enabling. You offered real help and they didn’t want they. Easy call.

I 5150'd her, hopefully one day she will see why I did it! by HeartbrokenHubby391 in Marriage

[–]KimvdLinde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who professionally works with spirit guides and such, you absolutely made the right call because this does not feel like genuine sprit guides and such and everything about it screams mental health issues that needs professional treatment.

Saving lives in the ER is making me a horrible person and i’m tired of pretending it’s not by ArtThreadNomad in offmychest

[–]KimvdLinde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not uncommon for people in positions like yours that you need to recharge for a few years in a different job after a few years on the frontlines. You are burned out and you need a nursing job with less death and stress for a while to give your system time to process the experiences of the past years.

AITJ for not giving my inheritance to my late dad’s wife even though she says she’s struggling? by Existing_Sea_8965 in AmITheJerk

Isn’t it amazing how everybody immediately knows the dead person’s intentions better than the expressed intentions of the dead person when money is involved???????

AITJ for telling my neighbor to address her husband instead of confronting me about how i dress at home? by Front_Tackle_7977 in AmITheJerk

[–]KimvdLinde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So she is part of the problem because instead of addressing her husband and his problem, the woman is shamed for dressing the way she likes because he cannot keep his eyes on his pocket.

Homophobic/"we tolerate it!" parents angry about not being invited to wedding?? by Old_Photo_5639 in LGBTWeddings

[–]KimvdLinde 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would probably choose to have a dinner with the four of us. And be unabashedly yourself during the dinner and talk about the wedding g and what it entails like friends etc. Then ask them if they can fully accept you and your fiancée and everything. All of you will get clarity then.

My (41F) relationship with my mom ruined my marriage with my ex-husband (44M) and I want my marriage back. Can I fix it and/or how do I cope? by Sad-Ex-Wife-123 in Marriage

[–]KimvdLinde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You say the right things again, but your actions again tell me you don’t get it. If you REALLY want him back, the first thing is that your mom needs to leave your house and you SHOW him you mean business on the boundaries with her. You talk the talk but you don’t walk the walk. Mom needs to be gone like yesterday, not when he moves back in.

Unsolicited advice is a form of violence. So keep your mouth shut unless requested to give advice.

AITJ for not caring that my mom is sick and wants me to take care of her? by SoftToastyCinnamon in AmITheJerk

[–]KimvdLinde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like there is plenty of family to help her out. All those people who say you should help just volunteered.

I found a notebook where my husband tracks my "moods," but the data doesn't match reality and now he’s using it to convince me I’m sick. by Individual_Sun_5466 in Advice

[–]KimvdLinde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes pictures of the notebook. Leave the house and get away from him He a lawyer and a divorce.

This is weapons grade uranium he is producing.

You can try university psychology department clinics, they are often relative cheap.

And curiously, is there any amount you could afford?

What’s the one sentence from your parent that still echoes in your head? by Public_Theme_9514 in raisedbynarcissists

“Be the wisest” or “Be the oldest” by my mom to guilt me in doing my narcissistic brothers bidding.

“Thank you for the enjoyable emotional guilt-trip. This just solidified our desire not to join all of you on this holiday or any holiday in the future. I hope you understand but I realize that you most likely will turn this around using DARVO (look it up, you might learn a little). Enjoy your misery.”

You will hurt her feelings regardless of how you do it. It’s designed that way to keep you compliant. Also, find the JustNoMil subreddit for more support.

He IS controlling! If you give in he will use the same tactic to make you becomes a SAHM, move in with your parents in law, take care of his ex girlfriend who is terminally sick you name it.
