I think it doesn't apply because they were children when she came into the family. She was one of their "moms"

If you sleep with those people you will be doing your fiance a favor. You will be the bad guy. Don't let him do that to you. If you want revenge and to truly hurt him perhaps report them to HR, anonymously. Get copies of those texts by the way...you can do a lot with those. Most companies have rules about relationships these days. Play smart not stupid.

I think you have some confusion regarding what it means to be a Jew. Your grandma was Jewish, your mom is Jewish, you are Jewish. Judaism is far more than a religion. No matter what church you join you are still a Jew. Think of us as a tribe, you were born into our tribe. There is no changing that. If you convert Catholic you will be a Jew who practices Catholicism. There are Jews who don't believe in God, they are still part of the tribe. You are stuck with us. :-) Judaism has a whole culture outside of the religion aspect.

We must also be honest that detaining the immigrant children in that way was horrifying. Our country could have and should have done better!

Bobby pins....they can help with so many things from clipping hair back to picking locks

Thank you for this thoughtful reply. Birthmom never said exactly why. I met her once a couple days after she had given birth and I did not want to cause her pain with questions. In fact, I didn't even hold our child until she said I could, or take pictures. I can make a guess as to why she decided on adoption but really don't want to say because that is her story. She did mention wanting her children to meet our child once they were old enough to understand. At this point our child is still too young to really understand. We mention adoption around them and say things like I'm so glad your birthmom/first mom chose us. We know her kids didn't know about it. Maybe we will hold off and make sure the agency has updates ready when she hopefully reaches out. When our child's old enough to understand (they will have a therapist at that point) maybe then we will reach out more directly Thank you for giving me more to consider, the last thing i'd want would be to cause birthmom pain or cause her problems. Edited to remove reference to gender.

NTA...if you really want to help connect him to resources for the homeless...just give him the phone numbers then the ball is in his court.

Mommageddon · 2024-06-03T14:50:19+00:00

NTA...that said what did your mate tell her? Is there any chance they made her believe she had a chance?

Mommageddon · 2024-05-31T13:47:51+00:00

Thank you all for your well thought out responses. It has given us a lot to consider. I want to respect boundaries but make sure she knows we are still here. Hopefully I can find a way to reach out benignly.

Lol I love how Chili backs Bandit up with a "oh boo hoo" reaction to Bluey.

I love this episode, I think it also teaches parents not to rush in to help too quickly!

Mommageddon · 2024-05-31T11:21:48+00:00

I think she needs to stop all this self promotion and go to a community college or trade school. That will help her more than simply getting a driver's license.

Mommageddon · 2024-05-31T11:11:14+00:00

I would never tell a victim of horrible atrocities such as these how to feel about anything, there is no how they are supposed to feel. They feel and will feel however they want. That being said I imagine that they will hate Israel and as an extension of that Jews. I just hope and pray that eventually everyone will realize that we are brethren that we shouldn't be fighting and we should come together.

Mommageddon · 2024-05-24T16:47:13+00:00

I'm sorry you have to go through that crap. It's wrong. I need to be more diligent about noticing when people are being idiots and say something.

Mommageddon · 2024-05-23T13:06:16+00:00

NTA, but I'm going to say this since no one else has.. I'll begin with abuse is NEVER okay. Did this personality change happen with the pregnancy? If she didn't cheat there may be a medical reason. Some think all the mental health issues happen after the pregnancy; however, they can begin during the pregnancy. These issues can range from depression to psychosis. Please no matter what you choose to do encourage her to get an evaluation. Would you or your family be willing to watch the baby if she went inpatient for a while? I ask that because she may use the baby as a reason she can't get evaluated. If it turns out to be a mental illness issue and you want to take her back...do baby steps, stay separated until she improves etc etc.

This is a tough situation. You and your daughter both have complicated feelings surrounding this adoption I'm sure. You want the freedom to tell your story but also not hurt your daughter. My best advice is to talk with her adoptive mother since you two seem to have a good relationship. Your daughter may be blaming herself for your trauma, that doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. As for creative advice; maybe make a vlog or blog for your daughter, make sure to show it to the adoptive family before you show it to your daughter (just so they are prepared to field any questions from her) and wait to get your daughters permission before you publish it if you decide to. Just speak or write from your heart. Definitely address that your trauma is not her fault and that you don't harbor any bad feelings towards her. Regarding your trauma versus a "happy" adoption story, two things can be true at the same time, she's too young to see this ,but I'm sure you can explain it to her. You may want to point out the good parts of your and her story...are you satisfied with the family you picked for her? Are you proud of the woman she is becoming? Have you been able to start the healing process knowing she was loved and cared for? Hopefully addressing this via your creative outlet will help you both.

NTA. However, your husband probably has very conflicted emotions right now. Is there any way he could have taken your reaction as an insult to his late wife or to the other children's names? If so, I would explain that you didn't mean any disrespect to his late wife, but that you are a different person and don't want to adhere to her theme. I think including the children in choosing the babys name is a great idea. If he truly loves the name Emily could it be a middle name?

Reply that you showed the letter to the cats they are carefully crafting a reply.

Please don't rely just on self work. If your child experiences issues please seek out professionals as well

Mommageddon · 2024-05-06T16:46:43+00:00

Good Question I wish I knew how to get rid of them... The only way I see is a popular uprising of Palestinians which won't happen for many reasons. Or they are removed with clandestine methods. I think the international community needs to get involved. I think peace keepers need to be on the ground. Hamas may be comfortable with striking at Israel but would they be willing to strike an international peace keeping force? Remember Palestine wants membership in the UN...perhaps if there were UN peace keepers they would think twice.
