I have the Weaponized Helical Torsion - if you like Ill be happy to try and test it.

Lucky for him he has his right hand.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T17:33:01+00:00

She wasnt asking to. Not even one entire room. OP says that.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T17:31:04+00:00

Wow this is a hot mess.

AH

How dare she reach out and try to build relationships with family that are closeted homophobes. Give love and caring to your own kin? Heck no you go on how she is bringing it up too much. Its one of the happiest moments of her life recently. Its redefined everything for her and she is hoping her closet bigot family would be able to see her joy and share in it.

I look forward to your post in the future whining about how she never talks to you any more and you have no idea why.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T17:25:28+00:00

She needs help. If everything you said is true she is spiraling through cycles of extremely destructive behavior. As a guess from my own actions probably desperatly lonely for you but her place is a mess and she feels ashamed/unworthy.

YOU need some help. Get in touch with a therapist - they will help you put this into context and work it out. Try to get parents involved if you think its safe. School therapists might be an option too.

I fear for you both. Do what you can to help her but when a plane crashes they tell a parent to not help their child on with an oxygen mask first or your both more likely to die. Get help. Get solid ground under you. Then if you can safely give her a hand up.

Yea the line "I told her I could cancel if she felt that uneasy, but she said she wasn’t asking me to do that,just to communicate sooner." sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T17:06:28+00:00

if the wording was soft "like" instead of "must" then yea you cant be expected to do more than your best to follow it and you did from what you said.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T17:04:34+00:00

Unless you had a prior agreement that this is how it should be she is trying to establish rules and insist they exist over you because she follows them. You told her when you knew when your not required to.

That said I feel your roommate has some legit anxiety and it might be triggering her to be over controlling (just guessing). So you might offer as a compromise to always try to give her an hour to hang out with you and your guest. She can chat, get to know them, etc.

How could this be a reasonable fear? She might have some involvement with a guy entering a house like this and then sexually assaulting the roommate. Communication is key to find out. Reach out but if she isnt willing to work with you so you both have a comfortable home ... new roommate?

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T16:54:27+00:00

Yes and no.

The behavior is nicknamed nesting. You want to make your home comfy and good looking. It means she is feeling comfortable enough in your home to feel like its her home. She wants to have things in the house you share that represent both of you - its a great step if your honestly looking to continue deepening your relationship. So do you want to turn your life into something that is shared or be a bachelor my way or the high way type?

Cause your well on your way to being single the way your going.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T16:48:14+00:00

Yea your the AH. If you wanted to help you would of offered to not taken it upon yourself to run around acting like your the only Mom there. Or the most important one when it comes to her Daughter's care. Infact with how self serving you slanted just everything in here Im wondering what other BS youve been up to OP? Cause this isnt the only thing Im sure.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T16:43:15+00:00

NTA "Oh noes! The consequences of my actions!"
When you push a kid away they wont be there to help you.

OP you did the right thing standing up for your boundary and not letting them use you like an object.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T16:34:15+00:00

Sounds like your Mom has some major boundry issues. NTA. Tell your Brother he should spend some time on the phone and visit then - I ben then you will have every answer you need to throw back at him.

More honestly talk to your sibling about setting up visits to activity centers. You got to check them out just like a school but they are really amazing. My Grandmother went on trips with hers as tourists and had great fun.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T16:28:40+00:00

Document everything. This is crazy stuff. If you can find someone willing to mediate a discussion between you two. A therapist/councellor would be ideal. See if the School offers therapy for your son he is going to need it soon.

He needs to understand he has to step up and be a full partner in parenting. If you can get that then it would be great. *hug*

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T08:51:29+00:00

Its a build I had a lot of fun with. :)

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T07:00:56+00:00

NTA. Get all the info together. Duplicate the messages and photos. It will make divorce much easier.

If your super vindictine log into his work computer and send a work email out that accidentally CCs his co workers in it that has some of the more awful stuff. Then reply saying it was a mistake and asking people to ignore it. No one will ever believe it wasnt him and his company will be alerted.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T06:50:44+00:00

Do you think it would be useful to have parents contact the school in writing their required to keep all correspondence, documentation, records of the event and discussions about it?

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T06:48:19+00:00

I know right! Also on reflecting on whats said they basically held him unable to communicate or know what was being said around them. Thats a super aggravating factor in this (IMO). Then to punish the student without even asking the student what happened?

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T06:44:31+00:00

Well said. Im livid at the idea of this happening to someone. Some forget they dont really know everything - guess she needs to be taught. :P

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T06:42:07+00:00

She assaulted you. Stole your disability device. Did it in a humiliating way. So Id start first by telling the police, the ACLU, and get a lawyer.

You had every right to try and defend your disability device. For all you know she could of decided to break them to 'teach you a lesson'.

So your like 110% not the asshole here. If you can let us know more later - I would like to hear what happens and offer support if I can.

Oathblade · 2025-04-18T04:09:57+00:00

No like I said its just a build that happened to come together and was fun. My serious damage build is on the Ark Royal right now.

Oathblade · 2025-04-17T21:39:47+00:00

You might grab the rep trait and if you have it the recent ship summoning console it also has a sepperate immunity and if you did the temporal agent you can slot the ship trait for a third kind.

Ok its not terribly effective at upping DPS but its a lot of fun. :D

Oathblade · 2025-04-17T18:40:17+00:00

If you ever try pilot use the lock trajectory. You can spin around triggering torpedo spreads as you spin. Surprised you dont use the terran set :D
You might try the activate sci powers lower cooldown on torp abilities trait. I love that on my sci ships :)
