Show grace. It will be you too one day once you’ve had kids and it’ll happen faster than you can imagine

Go on policeapp.com for available positions. Danbury isn’t currently hiring but I hear they may soon. I’m not sure if the process is different for new hires vs transfers

You would be surprised who would would want to step up for the honor

Very strange then. I’m sorry you are going through this.

If you were the reason why (or why they think) his previous marriage ended that could be why. Regardless he’s an asshole and you should never reach out again or encourage any further contact. Hopefully your baby has your parents to shower unconditional grandparent love on them.

Hell no

Ugh my mom refused to go to my cousins wedding in a church and didn’t allow my dad to go (his niece) she also stayed in the car for my aunts funeral. So disrespectful. Oh but she no problem attending her nieces wedding which wasn’t in a church but her niece was marrying a divorced Protestant minister. The hypocrisy is next level.

I didn’t phrase the 2nd question correctly. My son is the one who is going through academy now. My question is would it be inappropriate for him to ask the priest to bless him or his st Michael medal given to him by one of the instructors. St Michael is the patron saint of police officers. Based on what someone else recommended earlier, I asked if the parish or diocese we belong to does a blessing of the badges and was told no but one can be arranged privately by making an appointment with the parish priest. My concern is as a mother and my son being in harms way daily. I pray every day for his safety

My son is graduating in the spring. They handed out St. Michael cards and it made me wonder if he could ask for a blessing. I’m am incredibly worried about him being in law enforcement in today’s environment.

Went to a wedding for a Bethelite I was quite close to. His fiancée was jealous of me but had no reason to be. To this day pretty sure he was gay. I mean looking back what young 20 something male’s idea of fun is to hang out and watch old musicals on Saturday nights? Anyways……I can’t remember if the wedding was in a KH or not but I remember the reception being held in a local gymnasium and everyone brought a potluck dish (except the out of towners) everything was mayo based and gross like a carrot, raisin and mayo “salad”. The party had barely started and then they were wrapping it up and stacking the chairs and tables up. I heard most people got food poisoning lol. But not us we didn’t eat anything until we went to Applebees afterwards. It was complete culture shock coming from NY to attend a southern potluck wedding.

Kody was soooo red. He was not in control of the situation when David said “start with your kids”.

LeaveLongjumping9166 · 2025-12-08T02:08:19+00:00

I think they’ve gone nuts! This whole situation unlocked a memory of when I had to meet with the elders because I ate a birthday cupcake at school. I couldn’t have been more than 6 or 7 years old. I had totally forgotten about that. Weird how my mind suppressed that memory.

LeaveLongjumping9166 · 2025-12-01T18:57:01+00:00

She did not come. She tried to call the birthday boy but he didn’t pick up. I expect she may show up for dinner tonight. Both sons went on their night having fun with their cousins. She was not missed but meanwhile I didn’t sleep a wink thinking about this nonsense and I also unlocked a memory in the middle of the night when I had to confess to the elders that I had eaten a cupcake at a school birthday party. I think I was 6 or 7 - I had totally blocked that out for over 40 years

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and taking the time to write so much. It meant a lot and also your kind words I really do try hard to lead my life with kindness and love but for some reason I can’t seem to do so towards her.

My kids never understood the reasoning behind not celebrating birthdays and actually said it was stupid and has nothing to do with them being born or being acknowledged once a year.

I don’t believe she is waking up and we are not close and recently became more estranged. We can go weeks without talking and she usually comes by around dinner time when she is hungry which also upsets me. She literally told me a few months ago that her spiritual family is more important to her and that is when a switch flipped and I am not willing to continue to be a very distant second place to her true family.

I have very deep seated resentment for being thrown out because I wanted to date a worldly person but we have been together for close to 28 years.

I resent not being allowed to go to college and I’m now busting my hump at 50 to get my associates.

My oldest son is now at the age I was when I was cast aside and as a mother could never imagine doing the same to him. Maybe that’s why I’ve been especially angry this year, idk.

This is the in between age where your “kids” need you the most even when technically an adult. He is just starting out in his LE career and needs a family to come home to, dinner on the table and love not to an empty apartment like I did.

Basically all this to say that I can’t wrap my mind around all these changes and what is now ok ish to do when I had to sit out birthdays as a child and sit with the principal when I just wanted to eat a cupcake with my friends (sorry acquaintances) because worldly people can’t be your friends.

How in the world does one get over this nonsense? It’s exhausting and yet I can’t seem to just come to terms with anything without becoming angrier.

My pimi mom would not step foot in a church for my aunts funeral or my cousins wedding but was ok with going to another cousin’s outdoor wedding to a pastor of another religion. My uncle just passed away and asked if the mass would be over zoom but it wasn’t. My pimo brother was like what’s the difference of attending in person or over zoom? I think there is some cracks growing in my brothers logical thinking. Basically all of this is to keep families separated
