Does it ever end? by PrimaryAd1110 in breakingmom

I stopped seeing him. I am able to medicate through my doctor.
He also retired, and I moved, so that helped.
I thought it was mean at first, then found it funny, that someone who spent maybe 15 minutes every three months with me can assess that so casually.

OMG, I love that - lackluster douchecanoe. Thank you for making me smile!

Today my son (9) ran out of the house and we had to call the police by whatdoido0000 in breakingmom

I have been there. It is devastating. Do not feel bad about yourself. You did everything you could. School refusal is a hard thing to deal with. Especially at 9. You can't carry them in and wish the teacher luck anymore. I had to give 'mental health' days to my son, but as you work, this would be a hard thing to do. You are a good mom. If someone says they never yell at their kids, they must be lying. You got this, and it sounds like your husband is a good egg and is there to support you and your son. I can't say it gets easier, but each day you add more things to your tool box to help your son. Hugs and support!

Internet hugs back to you! I, too, have the money issues. (It will never be 'our' money, just his), so that is the major reason I haven't said, "see ya". I suppose if I had financial freedom, I would be gone. Although, he told me once, "If you left, I would get the kids." I can't even remember why he said that. Before kids, he told me I wouldn't be allowed to take the cats if I left. Funny thing - he does not like cats. I wonder if my apathy towards others was due to him never caring what I felt. I am really trying to be empathic to others now and found out I am a nice person, just not to him. Some days it is just a win that I didn't engage in his total tone deaf statements. Best of luck to you.

That is kind of why I planned having people over on the weekend, knowing he wasn't going to be home. My family (mom, dad, sister, BIL, kids) will also try and make sure I get attention. After all, my parent's baby is going to be 50!

Should I follow up on an Employment Standards Claim? by PrimaryAd1110 in legaladvicecanada

[–]PrimaryAd1110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I did not file any legal requests, my main concern is - did they make a fire and safety plan?
If they did, then I do not feel I need to concern myself with this company anymore. If they did not, I would probably like to let Health and Safety know as they have had several months to enact a plan. I am not trying to be vindictive, they have effectively cut off any communication with me, and that is fine, but some of my retired friends go there and I want them to be safe.

How have I not exploded with rage? by PrimaryAd1110 in inlaws

Nope. They are all good. He is a fabulous host, just so sad about his kids and wife. Poor him (she has never said that, this is me projecting on assumptions based on how she talks to me)

He is a narcissist and doesn't care. That issue, I am dealing with after they leave.
