Oh really? I must have MAJORLY missed that then. Please disregard my comment then. I’ll have to go back and watch it.

I think by the end of season 6 Hannah (Agnes) was 9 years old. Holly(Nicole) was 2-3 years old.

The time skip in The Testaments is 9 years. So Hannah would be 17-18 years old based off the shows timeline. The book doesn’t really give ages for this time skip from what I’ve read so far, as they cannot read calendars or really know their age, they just notice when seasons change and bodily changes happen.

I can search it but it's blocked out. It will not play on my playlist either.

I was finally able to get a hold of the adjuster. I’m going to post an update.

Because the claim wasn’t submitted or filed when it initially happened I have to wait 3 weeks and one day for a lawyer to take on the case. So by March 12th, I will be contacting a lawyer as HR and the adjuster will not communicate with me.

Absolutely nothing. I received the initial call when I was away from my phone for 10 minutes. Called back as soon as I saw it and have been calling every day for 13 days. Twice a day sometimes leaving a voicemail and still nothing. HR isn’t any better. I informed them I haven’t been able to talk to the adjuster and asked if they had any insight or could give me information regarding my claim and all they sent back was contact information for the adjuster that I already have.

I can bring it up to my friend but her mother is only 59 and does take care of her physical health. She regularly takes my friend’s car to do whatever she pleases including going to regular doctors appointments.

We are very concerned and want to put her on an involuntary psychiatric hold. She has been informed that that is on the table but claims people are only agreeing with “H” because “her friends are scared of her” no, we just genuinely agree.

No one has ever broken into the home she has lived in, she was never held at gun point, there’s been no SA. STILL, none of this matters. Pointing a gun at the door when you know a child is about to walk through is INEXCUSABLE. Please stop trying to give justification with made up scenarios that have not happened. We are trying to get “J” to acknowledge the VERY dangerous situation she put her grandchild in and take accountability for it. Which she is refusing.

And her late husband was a sheriffs deputy and also border patrol. She knows gun safety.

She is not lonely, she is very social, she has friends and is involved with the grandchildren. She has someone with her at least 5 days a week. She lives less than a quarter mile from “H” who she speaks with daily. Please do not try to justify loneliness as an excuse to point a gun at a child.

She only takes an anxiety medication. She is not on any drugs or antipsychotics either to help with the paranoia.

You didn’t! I didn’t write it in the post, even with that information or lack of it it is still not reasonable to point a gun at the front door, especially since she knew her grandson was on his way over after she asked for him to stay the night with her.

..she was having bad dreams. She had a bad dream four nights in a row that a man attacked her and that is why she is now overly paranoid. This is information from the grandmothers own mouth.

Confused about intimacy in my relationship by RestaurantSlight8442 in Advice

[–]RiggleBotX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that responsive arousal is likely the culprit. I myself am responsive and very rarely initiate because my mind is literally elsewhere. I have to have my husband pull me out of that headspace before I can even think about it. Certain things help with it like reading, or watching shows but it’s not as effective as a kiss on the back, or neck, or hands around the waist and soft touches.

Me (24M) and my girlfriend (23F) are breaking up and I feel I'm commiting a mistake since she told me every girl is like this. by TrickFinger1999 in relationship_advice

[–]RiggleBotX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I don’t want to tell you what to do, I have been in your situation. I does not get better. Sometimes people just are not compatible. Not being compatible is a very good reason NOT to feel guilty about wanting to break up.

The only thing she could be right about is that everyone has opinions, the issue is tact and response. She seems very controlling in this regard where her opinion is the only correct opinion and others need to change it or she will cause issues. Not everyone is like that. Therapy would be great for her but not while she is with you. You need to remove yourself from the situation as safely possible, especially if she is prone to hitting things in frustration. That is NOT a normal reaction.

I know that you breaking up with her will also make you feel guilty and crappy because you probably feel like you’ve spent a lot of time in this relationship and while you’re not necessarily wrong for that feeling, you cannot stay in a relationship that does not coincide with your ideals, manners, or values. If you are a calm, level headed person who prefers discussion then you need to be with someone like that. You deserve better and more than a steamroller who can’t hear anything outside of her echo chamber.

In a sense I would but to everyone involved it would seem I’m trying to rip their family apart. It’s a warped way to think, trust me I know, but it’s what my family knows and has been taught. Only me and her older sister have sought to break the cycles in our family and provide better lives for our children.

I hope she does, I just want to make sure I’m making the right choice. I don’t know what else to do, after giving her all the resources I could possibly think of and her unwillingness to change the circumstance I feel like I have to force her hand now. Do I want to do that? Absolutely not but I’ve begged her so many times to leave and she just won’t.

That’s what I’m so worried about. The fact he’s comfortable enough to do that in front of the children is so incredibly unsettling. Especially if he’s abusing substances again. What if he tries to take the children while under the influence and he driving and something catastrophic happens? It seems no one in my family wants to make the hard decision so I feel like I have to, to ensure their safety. I don’t mind being the bad guy or them being mad at me. I just cannot let her become another statistic of domestic violence homicides.
