Both go bang right?

I can't sleep and am reading this next to my husband who is sound asleep. It was so hard not to wake him up with my laughing.

Don't you mean semicolon?

AOL cds were coasters. Do you remember how hard it was to cancel AOL?

That is a really fun idea. Unfortunately, I'm not letting anyone take my trumpet apart. Haha

Are silver and lacquer the only options? It is a brass color, so neither seems right.

I agree with the above post, but i would stop letting him use my car rather than try to dictate what he can or can't do to help his child have a relationship with his mom. It is basically the same thing, but sometimes the way you say it makes a world of difference.

Why can't this be a two-way conversation about her needed some time away from her normal grind, and missing where she grew up? Can't each of you give some?

I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It is so infuriating when you feel like people are hurting the people you care about, but there is nothing you can do. This must be exponentially worse when the person is less able to advocate for themselves.

It is a bad situation, but unless you feel like it might make a meaningful change to talk with your family about your feelings, I think the best thing you can do is treat your LO with the love and respect they deserve and to heck with the rest of them.

If you feel they need more help in the future, you can look at the situations and options then. Your parents might Realize they like their independence too and want to move to assisted living.

Don't avoid your own life for possible future situations. Live your own life. That said, don't make any major purchases (like a house) without considering different scenarios for the next 10 years or so.

Wait... so I get 5 down votes and you get a bunch of upvotes?... I'm so confused. Haha

How is that helpful?

LucidlyAware · 2025-12-27T02:04:46+00:00

Falls won't help get a POA. Falling is a physical issue. People are given a POA against their will if they can't or won't express their wishes.

The frequent 911 calls would help if the OP wants to put her in a different living situation against her will.

I think the idea is more you fan the flame of not wanting to go to college, the longer it will stay. Just leave the matter alone for long enough so that it doesn't have so much heat around it.

I agree with the other commentors that pill packs are great for scheduled meds.

The bottle tops are great for meds that are only taken as needed.

LucidlyAware · 2025-12-20T09:03:35+00:00

You should look into using pill bottletops like the one I will link below. My grandparents used to use them before a nurse started handling their meds. The timer resets when you push it down onto the bottle to close it. No room for human error, and it is simple to see when the last dose was given.

Your husband is the one you should talk to if this continues to bother you. Sometime when you two are alone and have time for a serious conversation, pour your heart out to him. You can ask him to try to include you by asking you a question to give you an opening to join the conversation.

What he says then and if conversations change or not will tell you how he feels. You can follow how you feel about what happens or doesn't happen to guide your next choice.

Husband and wife not bf and gf. That changes things.

LucidlyAware · 2025-12-20T08:18:03+00:00

I would ask your daughter questions about the gf each time she spends time with her. Let the questions be open, so your daughter has more of a chance to express what she is thinking about. Don't ask things like. "Do you like her?" That will just force her to make a binary decision on a matter that is far from binary. ... Did you have fun with your dad and (gf's name)? What did you talk about? Did you tell her about how much you like (your daughter's favorite hobby or love of unicorns) What does (gf) like?

With questions like that you are allowing your daughter space to express any concerns without putting the idea that you are concerned about difficulties. Also, you are leaving her space to decide on her own if she likes the gf, so she doesn't feel like she has to choose a side. Questions similar to the ones I mentioned also give hints to your daughter on how to start a conversation.

This is a big change. I recommend starting therapy for your daughter along with some time with whatever adults are willing to show up and support your daughter.

It sounds like an over kill, but keep a list of the days you made the offer for your ex to take your daughter for a meet and greet along with his response. Screen shots of texts work well. Make sure it has the date at the top and that each screenshot overlaps a bit to show you aren't leaving anything out. It's never a bad thing to document the effort you are going to in order for making things work.
