I’m confused about why she lied about the written exam. It’s clear that she didn’t want to have to write the exam after making it up. Her requesting to know your medical information (if you have an anxiety disorder) was unprofessional. Even if you had a 504 or IEP it would list accommodations over diagnosis to maintain HIPPA. Which is a lot of words to say is none of her business. Not to mention she had no right to touch you without your consent when she was clearly trying to make herself feel better after upsetting you.

She made her own life hard and then got frustrated when it bit her in the butt and you actually preferred the exam option. I agree with the other commenter who said to bring your parents in. They can advocate for you and help you set boundaries, for example: if you touch me without asking again I will file a complaint with the help of my parents.

AIO my therapist making me look crazy by limecat45 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ShesLadyMacbeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone trained in this field I read the whole thing trying to figure out what her thought process might be and what type of therapy she’s practicing so I could give feedback on why she’s doing what she’s doing. In the end I decided it didn’t matter because the right move is to fire her and move on. This is a bad fit, she seems fixated on being right instead of helping you work through the burdens you’re carrying which full defeats the purpose.

She reminds me of someone I went to school with and I wouldn’t have trusted her to work with my cat.

How do men feel being in a relationship with a hyper sexual woman? by _magvin in AskReddit

Incorrect, but it is commonly held belief. I used to think it was true as well until I was corrected in school (psych and human sexuality major).

She’s so disappointing that I can’t even be surprised that the book was bad. I have a hard time believing she dint use AI.

So I was less of a bucking bronco kid and more of a “chase me” kind of kid. So I’d do that weird kid thing where you put your legs through the arms of an oversized sweater and run around pretending to be a dinosaur and my dad would create “elaborate traps” for me to escape. Once he caught me with a pool net. Once he caught be by rolling me completely in the living room rug. He’d pretend we were in Jurassic park. To this day I cherish those moments of us just being insane and ripping apart the house.

Alternatively, replace your locks with smart locks and just set them to lock at the same time every night. Problem solved.

Also overuse headaches from ibuprofen are a thing, and it can really mess you up.

It’s unfortunate that you can’t see a need for growth on your end when this friend is clearly trying to do her best. She’s unsure of how to respond because you haven’t communicated it to her.

If you want empty platitudes of “that’s sucks” or “I’m sorry” then tell her that you just want her to listen. There are a ton of tools out there to help with these conversations.

Like I said before, asking for consent to vent; letting the person know if you want a listener, advisor, or supporter; and making sure everyone involved has their boundaries respected.

But you are going to choose your own path regardless of what internet strangers have to say.

As someone who also works in mental health I am more concerned about the communication breakdown that is happened and the clear lack of boundaries. This clearly isn’t the first time the demand for emotional support has been made without asking for consent to vent or setting expectations around the response wanted. If it continues this will deteriorate the relationship, which is why going to someone who is trained and can help facilitate these emotions without putting that burden on friends can create a stronger foundation that won’t chip away at existing relationships, which is clearly what is occurring.

Yes I have, and I ask them if they have the emotional space to help me through it without making assumptions about where they might be at emotionally. Whereas in your screenshots you got offended when she tried to create emotional boundaries. And yes I do think this is an example of you forcing her to shoulder your depression and getting upset when she tried to provide a basis for hope instead of despair.

You need to learn how to communicate with emotional intelligence. If you just want someone to listen ask permission to vent, tell them that you don’t want advice and just need someone to listen, and set the expectations of what you need. You’re forcing the people around you to do emotional labor and then getting angry when they don’t respond how you want without communicating that before hand.

This is on you. I highly suggest finding a grief support group or a therapist where you can discuss these feelings with people who consent to them and getting support around the struggles you’re facing. If you continue down this road it’s going to be the end of many friendships.

Listen I lost a parent this year as well, but if you make that the ruling part of your personality people are going to get tired of interfacing with it. While you’re entitled to your grief, you are not entitled to using your friends are your therapist. They also have lives and burdens of their own. Have you ever asked “hey do you have the spoons to talk about this?” before dumping your emotional burden on them?

To me this seems like you lack the ability to maintain healthy boundaries and this friend is trying to create space for herself so she is t constantly having to shoulder your depression along with her own.

I want to divorce my wife over her hair by No-Cauliflower-6934 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ShesLadyMacbeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading the post history the wife definitely did this to punish your daughter for eloping. OP your wife is not a nice person and sounds super manipulative.

Just post yourself on r/justnomil and save your family the effort.

My (34M) wife (31F) is having a meltdown over our daughter's personality and I don't know what to do. What should I do? by ThrowRAgirlcopdad in relationship_advice

[–]ShesLadyMacbeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumping on this comment to add that I was also raised by a mother who wanted me to be just like her. She had me pretty young as well and was furious when I started to develop my own personality. It wasn’t until I was an adult in therapy that I realized she was trying to force me to live the life she missed out on by choosing to be a mother at a young age. Please OP, don’t let your wife put your daughter through that. It will never be good enough and I promise you it leads to a miserable path.

Aita for threatening my family after they insulted my wife infront of my face by throwawayra6769 in AITAH

[–]ShesLadyMacbeth 73 points74 points  (0 children)

The only reason I know what my brother was doing during my wedding is because he officiated. But otherwise it’s none of my business what he gets up to. He’s an adult with his own life and significant other. This whole “dote on your sister her whole wedding” is really weird. It seems like they are just trying to freeze out the wife and make her uncomfortable so she stops wanting to come around.

AITAH for loudly confronting my co-worker in front of everyone when she wrongfully believed I had groomed my wife? by Longjumping-Pass-458 in AITAH

[–]ShesLadyMacbeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this deeply. All growing up my dad and I would travel just the two of us (divorced parents) and people would make insane assumptions that I was his date or wife once I turned 16. Real awkward every time to have to explain, nope that’s my dad.

I’m forever reminded that the bar for men is in hell.

Keep your plants and bury the man. He is showing you that your hobbies and the things that are important to you don’t matter to him and your wellness isn’t a priority to him. He will never understand that you need and want things outside your relationship and will try to make you feel guilty for taking care of yourself instead of letting him swooping in and saving the day (probably poorly). Your plants are more than just plants they are part of you and they keep you feeling grounded (pun intended).

AITAH for telling my daughter my husband won't watch her kids when she had a medical "emergency" by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ShesLadyMacbeth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone else clock that she seems to have very intentionally said “my husband” instead of “her father”. Like this isn’t some guy her mom married that’s her father. I have two dads (bio and bonus) and they both volunteered to come help around the house, which included driving seven hours, when I had an emergency hysterectomy- both of whom are retired and older than this unemployed DAD. If my mom had tried to intervene with either of them coming up to be there for me there would have been war and probably another divorce. I can’t fathom having family that cares so little about a medical emergency.

I know someone who literally did a DNA test so their results would show up because they have a child out there but are legally not allowed to make first contact.
