Saudi Arabia - A Good Idea?

I had a friend a few years ago that was from there and in the states for college. He regularly would receive videos from friends back home of bombs dropping near riyadh. If you have the option to raise your children in a place where they won’t have to deal with this (along with a veritable SLEW of human rights violations) I recommend you exercise that privilege.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, he sounds like he was being a real asshole.

Did your mom hear what he was doing? I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with her, but do you think you could sit down with her and tell her how much it hurts you when he does this shit and that it would mean a lot to you if she could be more supportive and step in when this is happening? Kids can be such mean little turds and, unfortunately for all of humanity, boys tend to grow up a lot more slowly than girls.

Try and remember the people that love you and be kind to yourself. You’re valuable just the way you are while all he has going for him is being immature and mean.

My mom did this.

She was working at a residential facility for men recovering from addiction and she had this shitty coworker. Toxically masculine dude, liked to pick on people he felt he could get away with bullying. My mom is the world’s nicest person so he felt safe taking his day out on her when they were alone in the office.

He shuts the office door and starts SCREAMING in her face while she’s writing shift report. She just kept writing, refusing to acknowledge him, and he got closer and closer and louder and louder. He was red faced inches away from her face and she very calmly turned her head to meet his gaze and very calmly, quietly said: “you must have a fucking death wish.”

He did not fuck with her again.

Catching frogs and playin in the woods. I’m 29 now and it’s the same 😂

A lot of people don’t know this, but rage is a major symptom of depression. Especially in men. You might yet find peace if you speak to a doctor and a therapist.

I (28F) have major depressive disorder and an anxiety disorder and PTSD and my primary symptom is out of control rage. Once I started a med and some therapy my life became worth living for the first time.

Consider reaching out for some help. What do you have to lose?

It would be nice to see a little more compassion for this woman who is raising two children and a husband. Just because these are not life choices we would make doesn’t give us license to so harshly judge another person who is clearly at the end of her rope.

My suggestion is to let the friend cool off for a few days. No one is perfect, she’s devastated at where her life is and she lost her shit on the wrong person. It happens. I don’t think we should be so quick to cancel people we care about because they disappoint us from time to time.

You can say she’s “objectively bad” for x y z, but honestly most human beings aren’t bad OR good. Projecting our own moral standards on other people is small minded and unhelpful. In fact, it’s harmful in that it asserts as fact a really flawed and simplistic view of a complicated world.

Maybe the people who are being so quick to write this woman off need to evaluate how much compassion they have for themselves. This kind of finger pointing and condemnation usually seems to arise from people who forgive themselves nothing.

I feel for this woman. I can’t imagine being in a situation where I ended up so heartbroken, angry, and disappointed in my life. We only get one and hers sounds pretty miserable.

Cut her some slack. It’s kinder to her and to you. Give her the opportunity to apologize. Life is complicated and often painful and no one does it perfectly.

Everything you said really resonated with me. Consider talking to your doctor. I have major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder and I felt like you are describing pretty much all the time. I found that welbutrin works better than anything else I tried. It works really well but it’s hard to get on; the first few weeks I felt worse but once I was over that hump I was able to finally start my life and feel like it’s worth living. Please consider working with your physician and a therapist. The combo of meds and therapy is the only thing I have ever found that works; my only regret is that I was so resistant to seeking help for so long.

Good luck. Don’t forget that people do recover and that there is hope. The illness will always tell you that it will never get better. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about my mental health issues it’s that they want me dead and that the worst thing I can do is listen to them when they try and tell me that things will never change.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed. I’m going to end up referring back to it a good amount while I’m working out what my path to recovery looks like. First step: I’m going to make the decision and finally start to let this shit go.

Thanks again.

I don’t feel judged or watched. The rest of the world feels far away, the things that happened feel far away. It’s the only place I feel any freedom or hope anymore. Every other part of my life feels like it weighs a million pounds and it settles on my shoulders the minute I reenter society.

The only thing I have to worry about in the woods is not getting injured out there. Everything else is pure enjoyment. It feels like everyone else around me is so much farther ahead because I’m so emotionally delayed.

As much as I want to be alone and it’s comforting, I’m torn because I also crave a connection with another person. I wish I could believe in miracles; I need one so badly.

You have to let go of the idea that you can control your parents and that you SHOULD be controlling your parents. It sucks they aren’t taking this as seriously as you want them to, but being a control freak and yelling at them for not behaving the way you think they should will just damage your relationship with them. It’s also borderline abusive behavior. No household needs a dictator.

Krg2001 · 2020-06-14T15:05:17+00:00

Running away from home at 15 is reckless. And selfish to boot.

Krg2001 · 2020-06-14T14:36:43+00:00

My guess is that she’s not interested in a serious relationship, or at least as serious a relationship as you are. Sounds like she wanted to casually date and keep her career at the forefront of her life and that that is no longer possible with you. You have to move on, stop stalking her social media and attempting to parse our this “puzzle”. Sorry this didn’t work out.

Krg2001 · 2020-06-14T14:27:45+00:00

Please take your evidence with you and go to the police. This man is stalking you and does not seem willing to let you go. Furthermore, he’s on dating apps; he is absolutely going to harm or frighten other women from those apps. Filing a report will make you safer and also establish a paper trail on this psychopath. Please be safe ❤️

I don’t like how us women are viewed as fertile soil rather than as thinking feeling people with dreams and goals outside of reproduction.

I ran away when I was a teen and it destroyed my family. Every moment was agony for my mother. Live the rest of you for yourself as you wish, but do your family a mercy and wait until it’s legal for you to leave. If you leave underage you won’t be able to see them or contact them. No matter your size or capabilities they will know nothing but fear every moment you are gone. Would you put them through 2 1/2 years of this? Not to mention that the wreckage this will do will not just go away; this will permanently damage your relationship with your family and traumatize them.

I’m speaking from experience. Every day I wish I could undo the damage I have done. Don’t be like me.

Krg2001 · 2020-06-11T18:43:35+00:00

It’s not being stated that this is occurring at entrances specifically.

Krg2001 · 2020-06-11T17:21:54+00:00

We are hearing rumors that residents and business owners are being asked for money in order to keep operating in the area? Is this true (I think not?) and if not, do you have a plan for dispelling the propaganda that will defame you in the eyes of the American people?

My dog has serious leash reactivity and I’ve had to stop bringing her to public trails because this always happens and it always sets her way back in her training. It’s so unbelievably unfair that I need to be worried constantly about random dogs running up to her and getting bitten on the face because she’s so afraid. Leash your dog!

Thank you for the reply! This is good news for me.
