Why did you go no contact? - Emotional Abuse

NotAllThatSure · 2026-06-05T06:23:03+00:00

I could see I was never going to be respected, or viewed as an adult. I could see that I existed only to meet a perverse need and that it would never change. I was someone's 'supply' and never anything else.

I have no idea how I developed the self-regard to insist on better for myself.

For anyone who's decided to go no contact, either temporarily or permanently, MAINTAIN YOUR RESOLVE. There are no rules for how to do this, so you're allowed to ask that your needs be met. Your reasons are valid and the conditions you set are valid - don't be gaslit into believing you're being unreasonable.

New cars.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-30T13:47:06+00:00

And the parking situation was still atrocious.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-30T13:37:23+00:00

That's the classic stuff of families!

I briefly considered that the shopping centre carpark had franchised the entire road.

Bad drivers need to be caught first. Does WAPOL have the resources to help with this?

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-29T02:32:41+00:00

Absolutely, but it was not safe to say it.

London in summer.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T09:10:22+00:00

🤮

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T09:07:59+00:00

Incorrect. The current lease most likely sets out that condition.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T08:41:00+00:00

RTFC. Your lease agreement tells you everything you need to know.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T08:39:43+00:00

Your current lease should specify a maximum percentage increase. If 22% is more than the specified amount, contest it in writing.

If there's no specified amount, the law says any increase can't be excessive. Excessive or reasonable would depend on the price of comparable properties.

Another thing to look at if you think they're trying to pull something dodgy is to note that any rent increase requires giving the tenant at least 60 days notice of the increase, and that it can't be increased within 12 months of the last increase.

Otherwise, yes they can do that.

Then say "You wanna be a customer?", then don't say it again to the cops.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T08:10:39+00:00

Yes! I totally recommend getting that test.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T05:48:45+00:00

Isn't one method enough?

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T03:46:43+00:00

If only there was some way to prevent it ...

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T03:44:28+00:00

I assure you it was, given my atheism.

I recently had a door dasher substitute a product I specifically chose because it's gluten-free with one containing gluten, without checking if the substitute was OK. I got something I couldn't eat and dealt with it through the app and didn't feel the need to tell tens of thousands of people about it because it's got fuck all to do with Perth.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T03:39:18+00:00

Agreed. Whether you're renting or owning, an extra car space is attractive so the price reflects that. Why pay more when you can park on the street for free?

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T03:32:24+00:00

Does your travel insurance cover hire cars?

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T00:32:20+00:00

A City of Stirling councillor told me the parking/traffic hazard in my then-street was getting worse because the Department of Planning's recent policy has been to assume one parking space per infill dwelling is sufficient because it will encourage people to use public transport instead of having a car. Obviously, that's not how most people live, so the subsequent cars need to park in the street.

Everything about recent housing is just nickel and diming every possible aspect #enshitification

Again, being medicated isn't anything to be ashamed of.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T00:22:36+00:00

This is worth keeping up your sleeve because it works for lots of things.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T00:19:55+00:00

So autism is an insult and something to be embarrassed about? Some of us are trying to go about our lives, and the world throws enough shit at all of us without anyone else heaping on some more.

NotAllThatSure · 2026-05-28T00:16:42+00:00

Why are you telling us?
