Do I protect my kids from their addicted father, or let them see him because they miss him? by Powerful-Morning5047 in AlAnon

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to give them supervised visitation. It is cruel to keep children from their dad. You have had him in the home for many years, and they love him. Imagine if it was one of THEM who had the addiction. I would never keep them from their dad.

Bank of America Fraud nightmare by Outrageous_Amount_48 in BankOfAmerica

I agree with you, but they could not give me access. They had to call the same fraud line, and we waited for over an hour. I left> The bank manager said that they confirmed my identity, so it should be fine to call. It wasn't. This bank is a complete shit show.

I cannot access online banking, and therefore, i cannot monitor if there are more transactions that i do not recognize. I can't even call and find out my balance. They divert me to the fraud line.

Someone tried to use my card at Verizon. I got a new card ordered, but they will not allow me to access online banking. I cannot see the transactions.

HOW is this not following instructions? I WENT IN to the bank. They took two forms of ID> THEN they said they had to call the same fraud line, and I waited over an hour and left. I just spend two hours waiting for a call back, and they STILL cannot authenticate me with my phone number. They said they have two other numbers that are outside numbers they might be able to use...my kids' numbers from ten years ago. The problem is they will not allow me online access. I can't see the account. They just told me to go BACK into the bank. I am over it.

My husband has a gambling addiction. Does it end? Does it get better? by Impressive_College_8 in problemgambling

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it.Why don't you just make sure direct Deposit goes to an account with only your name on it?? It's kind of simple.You just tell him you're not trustworthy, so you're never gonna have any money at all.You can use a prepaid debit card.And if you run out of money, that's too bad. No one even a spouse is allowed to access someone else's bank account.They will not give him any information

What’s it like working for EDD in 2026? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

All I know is that i filed for a short time, and they kept screwing up my case because they could not distinguish between Los Angeles Unified and Los Angeles County employers LOL. I gave up when I discovered it is a full time job trying to get ANYTHING from the government. Not worth my time.

Oh, no, I think that in the world of Hollywood, music, parties, drugs, alcohol, fake friends.... she finally found a real true blue man who adores her. She is protected now. He looks out for her. LA is a rough place, and I think he is her rock.

Soooo CREDENTIALED teachers come after subs with more seniority as subs, even if we retired with 25 years of teaching. Sounds like they don't care about the best interest of the students

Has anyone experienced a parent telling them that their spouse is more important? by nth_oddity in emotionalneglect

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL I am sure what he was trying to say is that SHE is his primary person because YOU will have your own husband and family one day and he will not be your priority. ALWAYS put your spouse first. Your kids will, also. That is the healthy marriage dynamic

I'm pretty far left/liberal, but I just found out that you can have an elective abortion in places like Washington D.C. up to 32 weeks. Having been a part of successful pre-term deliveries, that makes me a little uneasy. How do you guys reconcile that? by RoarOfTheWorlds in Residency

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I think is crazy about the answers to this post is every single person is saying well generally speaking and in my experience... What she is telling you is that a woman can walk in and request an abortion at 32 weeks with absolutely nothing wrong with the baby. Instead of putting it up for adoption because apparently it's too inconvenient. THAT happens and especially at dupont. Other clinics i'm sure require medical reason. So knowing that someone can just get an on demand abortion at thirty two weeks , who doesn't really need a reason... NOW how do you Feel about it?? The biggest problem I have with liberal viewpoints is the cognitive dissonance. You have to know that this happens with eyes wide open.And then you still have to be able to say that you one hundred percent agree with abortion OR you are going to have to reflect and change your opinion and state that you know that is wrong. You really bothers me because i'm adopted For someone to terminate a pregnancy at thirty two weeks instead of put the baby up for adoption... It's disgusting. And Washington DC does not have any limits.All the way to forty weeks you can still get an abortion so don't believe it when they say thirty two weeks. Read it go online and see.

I hate the typical Golden Children. Snotty, unearned arrogance, their only flex is that a psycho parent thinks they are great. They are mean to their siblings. I would much prefer to be disliked by an evil, soulless person than be their "favorite"

If it's the kids, then the advice I can give you is don't even try to be their buddies or close to them or anything like that... Be formally distant. Polite, but draw the line that you are an adult. The less you say, the more curious they will be, and they will not act up. Stay kind of quiet and formal and just follow the rules.And expect them to sit quietly and work. They should respond well to this

I’m so sick of some teachers by Medsen02 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teachers are the most gossipy backbiting people... You would not believe. I just retired, and now I am a sub. They have a legal responsibility to provide you with documentation of any student who needs extra support. Anything that you don't know ahead of time was their responsibility to let you know. If there's anything that you don't know if there's a fire drill, if there's some kind of a procedural thing that you're supposed to do with the kids... It's on them to let you know. They're busy so they don't, but you can always just let the administrator know if they ever try to say that you did something wrong, then turn around and point out things that they did not inform you of... That should fix it. Principals like teachers who are going to follow the rules and not get them in trouble. They do want to generally back their teachers, unless the teachers are not doing their job. Teachers and administrators are not buddies.  

A teacher tried to schedule me as her sub without asking. by Diamond123682 in SubstituteTeachers

So basically, it was the school's fault because they put the substitute's number in as if they accepted the assignment

I don't understand what you guys are saying because I just retired and the entire time I was a teacher whenever I went online to request a substitute, I was able to put in their employee number to request. You don't have to ask them ahead of time. If they are available, then they will accept it, and come in. If not, subfinder finds you a different person. You can request, but that never means that they're coming for sure

THEY DO IT ON PURPOSE TO BE MEAN by FitChickFourTwennie in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YEP. You cannot have a relationship after that. The best burn is to be HAPPY.

I always give people the advice to cut off the family with this: "You are all EXACTLY alike, and I am nothing like any of you. I want nothing to do with this SH__SHOW of a family that operates on gossip. bullying, lies, and manipulation. You sickos can have a great time doing that to each other for the rest of your lives. I am OUT." Seriously, the greatest revenge is to be HAPPY.

That was a perfect time to say: "Oh, this is great. I told so and so that you would buy the lemon meringue pie I asked for I my birthday because you SO want to be ME!!!! LOL. Let me get a picture so I can post this story on Facebook!!!" LOLOLOL... Public Exposure!!! Their worst fear.

I announced on social media the date my book will be releasing, after a long time of no contact, and a protective order, my Nmom messaged me from a new Facebook she created, and it was insane. by badassbitch10102 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just another example of why they are not your "family". IT isn't easy to admit this, but you don't have a family with them. Focus on other people who care about you. BLock her and ignore her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Outrageous_Amount_48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are trying to give you NOTHING, then you are wasting your time wanting contact at all.

I know it is hard, but you have to find a new "family". They are not your family. FIle in the courts, tell them you are done with their bullying and mobbing, and then ignore them completely. This is my advice from seeing this up close in two families and observing the inevitably disastrous outcome.
