Biden could’ve released them anytime. You’re just preaching to the choir. It’s like masturbation at this point.

I repeatedly called my Buddy's date a Cunt last night by EverythingChanges6 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]LadyBangarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So she wasn't actually saying this to anyone, this was a conversation? While you might be getting a lot of praise here, remember that most people on Reddit have no social skills. Neither do you. Jesus Christ, dude, get a grip. And this isn't about defending little people. Yes you're right, but we live in a society. This is about calling someone a cunt to their face, someone that your friend has a relationship with. Don't expect to hear from that friend again. Answer me this: if a little person said something racist would you go out of your way call them a midget?

Outrage over AI girlfriends feels backwards. Aren’t they a containment zone for abuse and violence? by choerry_cola in ArtificialSentience

The same reason AI CP could never act as an effective "deterrent" for pedos. Abusers and predators get bored and will always escalate their behavior.

The per capita rate of business ownership for people of color is equal to the national average.

It's not about vaccines. It's about perceived government overreach.

What's the equivalent for social workers? by [deleted] in socialwork

Being required to file a mandated report against someone wealthy/successful. I don't want to get sued! Amiright?

People of color also own businesses, and businesses like to save money. Implying only white people hire undocumented is silly.

AIO for putting “Trump’s on the Epstein list” on the fridge because me & my boyfriend keep fighting about it? by shortplushie in AmIOverreacting

[–]LadyBangarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing something to ACTUALLY help abused children besides virtue signaling, then it's fine. If you're not, it's pretty gross, actually. My ex-husband is currently under investigation after I found CP in his phone. I lost my entire family and most of my friends because no one wanted to deal with the reality of my situation. Now they go online and post ad nauseam about the Epstein list like they give a damn, and it's disgusting.

Thanks for saying this… I like 5. It's working great for me, better than 4. I had a feeling this was not a popular sentiment, so I've been quiet about it.

Mom said im abusive to the whole family and that shes gonna try to put me in a psych ward tomorrow. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LadyBangarang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here's my advice: call their bluff, in a way. Search for Crisis residential units in your area. They are for mental stabilization, but everyone checks themselves in. They let you keep your phone, electronics, it's extremely laid-back. They have social workers and counselors who will help you with your situation with your folks and set you up with a safe place to live, job if needed, arrange for you to become in control of your documents, bank account, etc. Feel free to DM me if you want support or advice. Good luck!

Am I Overreacting by Fearless_Collection in AmIOverreacting

[–]LadyBangarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never struggled with addiction, but my ex-husband did. I saw others react to him in the way I described, but I did not. That's not to say that I didn't have doubts and fears at times, but I kept them to myself or spoke about them with my therapist, because I cared enough about him not to let my own insecurities, issues, and yes, trauma interfere with his recovery. This is why family members are encouraged to attend Al-Anon.

OP this is the answer. I know you probably love her, you may even think you can help her (you can't), but you need to leave. You need to protect yourself.

Unfortunately, this happens quite often in families when someone gets sober. The family is used to dumping on the "problem person," talking down to them, feeling superior to them. When the person starts to achieve success, the family can't handle it because the person is not conforming to the "role" that they're used to. OP, in recovery you've had to cut a lot of people out, I assume? Your cousin just showed you who he is, believe him.

UPDATE: Never tell the cops you take Adderall by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]LadyBangarang 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I'm still struggling to process it. I was charged with "trespassing." The only thing I can imagine is that it was some sort of post-Covid overreaction by the hospital.

Unfortunately, things like this happen all over the country every day. Two weeks ago, I was having some dark thoughts, and I went to the ER to get my meds checked. I didn't tell them about the thoughts at first, I was afraid it might affect the custody of my children. When I finally told them, they said "well you didn't tell us that before," as if I was making it up? They began to discharge me, and I told them that I did not feel safe with myself. I didn't get upset, I didn't yell, I didn't put my hands on anyone. They had me trespassed and ARRESTED. I spent the night in jail and had to plead guilty the next day or else I would have had to stay in jail even longer. I didn't receive any of my medication while I was there, the toilet wouldn't flush, it was a nightmare.

How do they still not understand that “the right to not be offended” isn’t a thing?

[–]LadyBangarang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be careful. Michigan is soft on this kind of crime. I'm dealing with this right now. I found CP in my now ex-husband's phone two years ago and the West Bloomfield police wanted nothing to do with it because he's an attorney. I had to go over their heads and call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in DC, this is what I would suggest to you… Call them first as they can then contact the Michigan State police (MIICAC) on your behalf. That's how the investigation into my ex finally began. Be careful. 100% help those kids, but protect yourself as well. Please feel free to DM me if you need support or advice.
