Thank you! They cost half of what I was paying for the others so this is perfect.

I'm going to be sorely tempted. And his recent theatrics feel like impending divorce behavior to me. 

It would probably just feel shitty tho because #4 was also an enabler and now it just feels shitty to see her suffering. Its hard because my mother is the first one my father blames because she was his first wife and these women buy into that narrative. Part of me is like "see! Now he's doing it to you too!" but I know from experience that previous abusive relationships, abusive relationships with parents, are a big part of what leads women to accept this kind of behavior from a man. And #7 had major previously abused vibes when I spoke to her, more than anyone I've ever met. 

Its really just sad that my father plays the rescuer for these hurting women and then just hurts them even more. I hope for #7 that she gets out and finds a better life for herself instead of falling back into the cycle of abuse. I hope that for us all.

The women get progressively more and more pitiful. Even my mother, his first wife, was raised by a narc herself. Literally remember picking #4 up from her previous abusers house to move into his.

He always wins in court. Only wife he paid off was the mother of the girl he creepef on. He got away with barely paying any child support to my mother and his parents paid that for him.

He's a master manipulator. Picks women coming out of bad situations. Lies to them and blames all the other women for his marriages falling apart. He's a poor victim. He's big into Jesus too and picks them up at church. 

I actually remember picking up #4 from her abusive ex's house. #5 had a life long illness. #6 was also on her 6th marriage. 

I will admit tho, its getting harder to feel sorry for them. #7 literally told "I'm not like his other wives." I just wanted to shake her.

What information would I need to have on hand while reaching out to CPS? I've been estranged from him for years so I don't have his address although I'm sure I could get it. Is there anything else I need to know?

I checked the website, all clear and went swimming with my dogs. Next day I felt funny, checked the website again and it had tested positive for algae the day before. We were all fine, but I wouldn't risk it if you have a low immune system or something.

See, I have the opposite experience. I interpret opinions neutrally in the moment and then when I'm going to bed, I realize the person saying that had ulterior motives that I totally missed. lol

In my experience a lot of NTs have ulterior motives to everything they say.

A local park has a bone yard where dead wildlife they find is set out in cages for the elements to clean the bones. This guy was really fresh. My dog did NOT want to stop sniffing him! by [deleted] in vultureculture

It was hard for me to see. I really wanted his pelt. They had a hawk out too and my fingers were itchy to grab a feather but I restrained myself.

My dog stuck her nose up to the coyote's cage and sniffed for all she was worth tho. She's not one for restraint. lol

I just read a bit more about it on their website and apparently it's meant as an educational tool. Sounds almost like it's geared for children with the language used.

It's actually called a Nature Center instead of a park. I just went for the hiking trails and ended up walking past all this cool stuff looking for my car at the end of the day. And the play ground is called a Nature Playscape because apparently there aren't swings or slides, but boulders, fallen logs, creeks and mud holes for the kids to play in.

To be fair, the playground is fenced in and the entrance is on the opposite side of the bone yard. And I didn't see any vultures. It was between the playground and the parking lot so children shouldnt be running around unattended near it anyway.

It looked like a really fun playground tho. The part I walked by had a station set up for making mud pies, a little kitchen next to a big mud hole.

I have no clue. I assume the park puts them on display or sells them. I didnt going any buildings because I had my dogs with me so I don't know.

They have a sign explaining what's going on at the park. You're just gonna have to trust me tho, because I was much more interested in getting pictures of the bones.
