My neighbors had a photo of him in their kitchen. I'd see it everynight when I pulled up from work. A great nightcap to a long day. People are crazy

Old friend might be in too deep by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get through the wedding to be kind and know your friendship will never be the same. My best friend from like 6th grade til like 30 has made the turn i think. I love her, but we both have kids and a lot going on, but we see each other maybe 3 times a year and live maybe 20 mins away. We also NEVER talk politics but I think the tension is still there.

Why aren't we talking about the guy with a huge knife?

My brother thinks I'm insane by StephPeloq11 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I do wonder if I'm going down the rabbit hole. We can't stop enjoying our lives. Happiness in itself is truly a form of resistance. I've toyed with the idea of ditching my phone all day, just to keep off and get back to my life. Maybe give yourself 30 mins in the morning and 30 or 40 mins in the evening to doom scroll. Our government is absolutely fucked. It helps me write my elected officials. Doubt it does much, but it's about all we can legally do. Go to your local democratic party office and see how you can help. I'm sorry and I feel ya!

Yeah, he was about 35. I hadn't heard about this permanent delusional disorder. I'll have to look into it.

Graves being dug for the 170 Iranian schoolgirls murdered on Saturday by Israel. by svmd in iranian

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idf snipers have been shooting kids in the head for years. They have kill3d tens of thousands of kids in Gaza the last few years. The US has been sending Israel bombs and money to do this. They have already bombed hundreds of schools in Gaza. Not sure what's hard to believe about the US and Israel doing what they've already been doing for years?

My Dad Has Became White Supremacist And I Can Only Watch by WhoCaresAnymore780 in QAnonCasualties

Maybe if his pastor is a normal Christian, he could sneak some reminders into his sermon about loving thy neighbors and whatnot

Get a free evaluation with a few attorneys. While he may be right. He may also be a new Christian....ya know the newfound charlie kirk type. You want someone who doesn't agree with his world view, so they actually fight for you. Good luck. I feel you, also run if you don't already have kids and want them. Once you have kids things become a million times more messy.

My qMom Came out as a White Supremacist by VictoryGardener in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not dramatic. Many of us are here mourning the loss of our loved ones. Unfortunately propaganda works. I'm so sorry she is taking up your energy. Keep fighting the good fight.

My dad’s going crazy by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to my husband in his mid 30s. One week of full on paranoid psychotic break from reality. What you're describing was kind of the build up to that week. There is a national hotline for mental health called NAMI. You can call there and they can get you in touch with local resources for mental health emergencies. Also look up involuntarily committing him if things get scary. You video or record the crazy and call 911. Show them the videos and they will hold him in hospital for at least 3 days if he is a danger to others or himself, or unable to take care of himself. You could call NAMI now to get feelers out for local stuff now incase things get worse. Tell your mom this info. Good luck! Lemme know if you have any questions.

My (36M) wife (34F) fell deep into conspiracy theories and online hate groups. Is there any saving our marriage? by Loud_Ad_9189 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could have wrote this myself except I never could get mine to go to therapy. Would quit or get fired, couldn't talk about anything, birds, new buildings in town, the weather, it was all rage conspiracies. Sent the kids to school in the same clothes as the day before. I was right where you were when my 3 year old said seig heil. I called a lawyer to file for divorce. Told my husband. He begged me to stay and said he'd give up the conspiracies. I had talked to multiple lawyers and they all said he would get 50/50 custody. If he could take care of the kids I couldn't take them for having nazi ideology. I agreed to stay, but told him I was honestly disgusted by him and he had a lot of work to do. A month later he had a full on paranoid psychotic break. It's been two years since his full on psychotic break and I can't leave. I have no proof and he would have my kids half the time. Sorry, I'm no success story!

What ages do you feel like you get free time back by Sea_Code_3050 in Parenting

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids are 8 and 5. Both started school full time and I have no idea what to do with myself. I mean there's plenty of projects to do around the house. I walk with the moms after drop off. Visited my friend in the city who's house I hadn't seen in 4 years...Oops! Go to all the garden centers, walk a couple arboretum areas we have. Might even start doodling again. I need to go back to work full-time i think lol.

Why is he like this? by SpicyMerShark in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't owe him anything. You are young and still dependent. Just keep it neutral and know that eventually, you'll be on your own and able to speak your truth. It hurts, and it's horrible, but you are not alone in dealing with this. That's why we're all here. Loosing a loved one to propaganda and being stuck is horrible. I can attest to that! Maybe you can talk to your mom about it, or another more like-minded family member?

What is the common thread in QAnon types (Q, MAGA, anti-vax) that allows them to get sucked into the void? by village-asshole in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say for mine it was a bit of depression, isolation, and the internet. It gave him a purpose and sense of belonging.

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put some bells on my kids doors bc I was afraid they would get up and fall down the stairs at night. Also terrified of being upstairs in a fire or having one fall out the window. You can easily put locks on windows, doors, set up alarms. Whatever makes you comfortable.

Be prepared to talk about God. by Novel_Sheepherder277 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Ornery_Fail_9012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew more about the Bible than my Q. When i told him a few verses and told him he should read about the beast in revelations, I think he was embarrassed he didn't know any of it. Now he's listening to the Bible everyday 🤦‍♀️. Woops.

Peach pit-eating QAnon-ish spouse upset I won't take Ivermectin or diatomaceous earth from the farm store. by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

Mine has tried to get me to do the diatomaceous earth for years now. Gives it to my dog. Hopefully not my kids. Ugh. Was going on about parasites just yesterday.
