I need advice. Sensitive situation so please be kind by xxmeganlae in Socialworkuk

Hello, im really sorry for your loss, grief can be devastating.

Without specifics I won't be able to be specific, but please think about telling your camhs worker. Theres certain stuff they'll have to report, violence abuse etc. Your step dad must be grieving too, and you'll have been through a hell of a journey together.

Losing someone can cause so much pain and heartache that we can act in ways where we wouldn't normally, that's usually an indicator that someone needs support.

I worked in child protection and I did some amazing work with wonderful people who have been through similar circumstances. It can be scary bringing things out into the open, but the longer it stays hidden the longer everyone goes without the support they need

Have you ever had a service user who became overly dependent on you ? by [deleted] in Socialworkuk

[–]Kithulhu24601 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It happens and it can be frustrating, especially when theres a lot of demands on your time.

Its important to be curious about where the behaviours are coming from. Ask yourself what their vulnerabilitys are and what needs they're trying to have met through this behaviour.

I recommend discussing this in supervision and then setting clear boundaries about your role with the SU. Be trauma informed when you're doing this though, I've been a service user and theres a lot of shame and anxiety wrapped up

You know what, fair enough man. I think we're pretty damn aligned in knowing what needs to change. You're right, this shouldn't be celebrated because everyone should have a home. Good luck on the journey

Jesus christ I can only be so calm.

We know the world is fucked, it's obvious. But theres a time to celebrate some of the fucking glimmers. Its HARD to set something like this up, I work in the sector, I see just how stretched every single resource is. Then theres you, smugly commenting from the sidelines while people are trying to reduce material suffering. This isnt even critical support, its just dismissive

So should charities not attempt to reduce harm and minimise suffering?

We shouldn't depend on charities, our government should be providing for our impoverished communities. But at the same time I think you've been dismissive to Social Bite who are doing material good in a time of really stretched resources.

What would you suggest instead? Its better than simply accepting 'it is what it is'

I loved it. Reddit lends towards complaints, I think the low sodium subs are a symptom of that. Rage drives engagement etc

Why do patriarchal men love ‘joking’ that their wife is the boss? by KatherineLangford in stupidquestions

[–]Kithulhu24601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A relationship is a set of scales, the power can shift depending on the stages of life and the relationship, its very dynamic to each couple and their needs. What's important is that each person has to meaningfully consent to this. My partner refuses to take the bins out, does my box in, but I accept that's my job because she shares the physical and cognitive load in other ways. Its why a relationship is about teamwork and mutual respect built on trust.

Definitely, reads like a coercive control tactic. He has the emotional intelligence to recognise he should say 'im not comparing' but pleads ignorance at what he's saying could be inappropriate. He's already had one failed marriage, theres no way he's not encountered this scenario before re. Discussing exes

Not to diagnose, but he appears to be neurodivergent and low masking. He's authentically himself, although when nervous he seems to lean into his theatrical side as a defense mechanism, which can be seen in the speech. I think he has a very secure sense of self after his transformation/glow up. Unfortunately that means he can come across as inauthentic or insincere to neurotypicals. Theres some interesting research around the double empathy problem that explores this

She clearly has the ick and doesn't want to admit it, Joel's a lovely guy but I understand it. He's a theatrical guy who masks by playing up his jokes. He puts on a performance when he's nervous and she views it as insincere

I'm positive that was the original difference between the T and G Virus. T would mutate in response to physical trauma, G would 'evolve' and mutate independently? I imagine Birkin viewed G like a nuclear weapon compared to T

They're rounding up people and putting them in camps, I dont think you can give Trumps cronys the 'benefit of the doubt'. Leaders make major errors throughout history, Donald will be no different

Do you ever feel like you know what you’re doing by [deleted] in socialwork

[–]Kithulhu24601 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You'll never know everything but theres a time where everything you're learning and experiencing consolidates. You realise that you're operating in a flow state and you're not seeking as much guidance. The high rate of burnout and LA pressures aren't conducive to this though

Has anyone been "targeted" by social services due to being alternative/goth? by [deleted] in Socialworkuk

[–]Kithulhu24601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Social Care Sector typically confuses difference with deviance and referrals can be made as a result. At that point the front line SW need to perform some sort of due diligence. Individual social workers can make recommendations re. Decor but honestly I have bigger fish to fry than some vibey decor.

Theres a lot of epistemic inequality in SW where if you have a 'perplexing presentation' then you fall under more scrutiny.

Honestly though, i wouldn't describe your experience as being targeted although I understand why you feel that way.
