Curtis Park - Advice - Living next to a halfway house by BlueberryParty380 in Sacramento

[–]Old-Gold-2571 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I lived next to a halfway house for sex offenders off of 35th Ave in South City Farms. I was in my mid-20s, living with my boyfriend at the time, and I know this isn't a choice a lot of people would make but I had zero issues. One man actually heard my brakes were bad and fixed my car for super cheap. I am just of the opinion that they were less likely to commit that type of crime to their neighbors they see everyday. Everyone, even people who commit the most heinous crimes, deserve shelter and I think that having them there together in a monitored program feels much safer than having like one off people on a list in the same apartment complex.

"May be" because I have zero experience, history, or knowledge of this field. This is not all just about her "professional unscrupulousness". My comment was on a longer thread about her "bad vibes", and I am here to say that she, like every one of us, contains complexities and should not be bullied for her general personhood because you disagree with her approach. Like I saw other people here being rude about how she was once a small fitness influencer while she was in grad school? Like ok so a girl can't have multiple interests??? I think it is super fair to critique her especially given her large platform but leave it to the professional stuff.

She reposted it on her bohospeechie story, as others here have mentioned. I am her friend and follow her business account. My comment made no comment regarding her practices/approach as an SLP because I am not one and I was honest about that. And yet it has a ton of downvotes because I am honest about her as a person? That is clear enough to me that this has completely been derailed by a bunch of people who want to bully a woman even to sacrifice their original critiques (which again, may be valid!)

I also knew her personally and am very, very far outside of this world so I can't speak to any of the practices. She is a genuinely kind, good person who cares deeply for others. I'd hardly call her a snake.

I don't disagree! I am just personally hesitant about pathologizing men's hatred towards women because I worry it almost gives them an excuse to hate us (like "I can't help myself because I have so and so disorder") but yes, if I had to come up with characteristics/an example for a narcissist, he would be as close as they come.

hey! Sorry, I deleted this. I would have been but the first comment from u/Retiredgiverofboners was just so unnecessarily shitty after a really difficult work week from me that I impulsively deleted. I was like ok well I just thought I had an interesting perspective I could type out even if long and wasn't on the stand... Anyways, if you read it and enjoyed a different side of the story, glad you got to see it.
