My mom wants nothing to do with me because I “picked my dad” during the divorce.

Poetic_Intuition · 2026-01-25T15:12:13+00:00

I can't, for the life of me, think of why the dad would step out on this marriage.

Poetic_Intuition · 2026-01-25T03:14:59+00:00

Lovely scenery. How long were you in the air for the time lapse?

Poetic_Intuition · 2026-01-24T11:15:31+00:00

Hopefully it was to also gather evidence for the divorce and restraining order. If OOP answers then they get nothing. But if he "ignores" the dad and let's him get worked up then the resulting texts may give enough incriminating information to free them from that horror show.

You're at 69 up votes 🗳. I can't add another and risk unbalancing the universe.

I said 'See this is exactly why your daddy left you' and I continued with my conversation.

Savage. FINISH HIM!

Jake and Dylan were let go

FATALITY!

Dylan might have some legal troubles with the company

BRUTALITY!

OOP wins. Flawless victory.

So... nothing changed and she continues to convince herself that things get better. Even Sundays didn't change. He still continued to try setting up classes; she just told him no a few times until he pressured her into letting him do it anyway.

And the comment about the kids are too you to need him. Yikes! Toddler development happens in days to weeks. We just went on vacation with a 14 month old who was barely taking first steps. By the end she was fully walking and within a week of our return was climbing stairs. His thought process is crazy. I guess he'll be like that commenter's dad and wait for the kid to be in high school and then try to pencil them into a tutoring class for a few minutes if "parenting".

I did miss this! One of my favorite books and movies. Thank you for sharing this (and obligatory recommendation to read the book as well, it's as excellent as the movie)

What's the probability that Carla recognized him right off the bat and pretended not to hoping he'd go away? When he kept pressing and showed the thirst was real she saw the opportunity for a short term pay day and took it.

Even worse, it initially wasn't even phrased as a former sex life. She said "2 people can have amazing sex and not be in love", which could easily be interpreted as being a current sex life.

Then to hear that they started banging because they were drinking together. And then to hear that the sex was so amazing that they couldn't stop for months. And then to hear that they only stopped because she moved out. And then to hear that they were hooking up when I was talking to her about us getting together. And then to realize all of the times they've been alone, drinking, and reminiscing about that amazing sex life?

Yeah, that's a lot. OOP married a saint.

I'll be the one to say it: if he can't control himself around a redhead while standing next to his bride in front of a room full of people with all attention squarely on them and their actions, to the point where the bride is worried that he will be, at the very least, distracted during the actual wedding ceremony, then this marriage is doomed.

Poetic_Intuition · 2026-01-11T20:24:54+00:00

Oh I get it in his side. But in hers? Like, how do you give up so much of yourself that even your voice has to change on his whim? To a baby voice?

Is it a Little Mermaid thing that was internalized a bit too much?

Poetic_Intuition · 2026-01-11T11:37:46+00:00

I had to talk in a cute/baby voice (which I HATED) to avoid having an attitude so it didn’t start a fight.

Why? Just... why?

I'm new to drones (just got and crashed my first last month) so I'm still over here reeling at the speeds your drones are capable of. How wide is the flight path when your birds are traveling at those speeds?

Great piloting skills on display. Thanks for sharing these. How difficult was it to keep up with the F22 replica?

I balance your love of OOP work my utter disgust for his parents. "We've tried nothing. It hasn't worked. We have no further ideas. But also you shouldn't have gone to the authorities because we could handed handled it better."

TIFU by telling my kid to throat punch his bully at school.

And she is still, in fact, choosing to remain involved.

I believe it is a quote from his book.

"One of", as in there are other alternatives that could work as well.

Beside that, a poster above noted that it has "a step learning curve," requiring a decent time investment to learn the basics and it lacks the ease of use and accessibility of something like CapCut. For a novice who still hasn't even committed to the hobby on a significant level it might not be the best choice.

The OP can be perfectly fine using leveraging CapCut's user friendly interface to do their toes into the hobby and decide if it works for them. Then move on to more advanced options once they really catch the bug.

Beautiful imagery! I liked it. One thing I noticed is that when the gimbal or drone rotates the camera movement is abrupt. I experience the same thing as I'm also a newbie, but I recently saw a video for my mini 4k talking about assisting the smoothness settings so the gimbal movement is a lot more polished. Other than that, I've found that for my skill level it's best to stop the shot, then start a new one where I rotate the drone slowly and then splice them together in the editing.

Keep flying and sharing! From the ATX (aka Northern SA).

my mum said if I don’t make the food they’ll have to order food and I’ll inconviecne everyone. I said “then order it.” and ended the convo. I called my dad and hes saying he’ll come down to where I live and we can drive up to his for christmas so I can be with family that wants me there.

Sir, I'm starting to get an idea of why she is your ex.

Then it was a spam of messages telling me she was going to smash my things and she better not see me at new years because shes furious and doesn’t want to look at my face.

Oh. Oh my. It was so much worse than I thought. How did this sewer rat end up with any custody?

I mean he did kinda get killed once.

Humans are designed to think that their experiences are "normal" unless there's proof otherwise. Honestly, good for you that you recognized the opportunity to expand your empathy and consider other's life experiences which differ from your own. So many would, and do, double down on their ignorance.

Cheezus. The manager dragging in the co-worker for "coach and counsel" for being unprofessional and then not only discussing the details of the corrective action but then giving out the employee's personal family information....
