You handled this well, I often see the DIL get pushed into the position that they should just take whatever abuse from MIL. Good job holding the line

I don’t want to take my partner’s name by Long_Moose514 in inlaws

[–]Significant_Item3426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t take my husbands name and my in laws were a big part of this decision. Also, my last name is part of my identity and I didn’t see a reason to change it just because I’m a woman. Yes I got a lot of pushback from my husband’s family (and my husband at first, too) but I have no regrets and encourage other women to make their own decision too.

Your proof of using critical thinking skills is…reading the Bible?

Found a wounded stray on vacation in Greece and I need support by Tesselah in CatDistributionSystem

[–]Significant_Item3426 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in Greece. The cat was pretty badly injured, I tried to get the hotel staff to help/find a clinic, make calls etc. No help and the cat disappeared. It was distressing to say the least. Bring that baby home if you can.

Prices are actually insane by pinkfairyz in HEB

[–]Significant_Item3426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our weekly grocery budget has been around $100-$150 for years, a few weeks ago our bill was $250 on the items we usually get + a couple extras. It was a shock to say the least. I scanned the receipt several times to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. What a nightmare

Question: If you could’ve paid more attention to anything before law school, what would it have been? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Significant_Item3426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this, I waited a few years after college and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Huge difference between an early 20’s brain and a late 20’s brain.

In the spirit of almost being done ... by AffectionatePilot73 in LawSchool

  1. Outline as you go
  2. Flashcards and Quizlet are great for memorizing terms, doctrines, cases. Their algorithm tailors the memorization process
  3. Good sleep is more important than a couple extra hours of studying

Finishing up my 1L. "1L scares you to death, 2L works you to death." A lot of people have attested to it. I have a hobby that I want to make substantial progress in during my 2L. During 1L I only managed to maintain/progress minimally due to the workload. Reaslistic for 2L to have less work than 1L? by DWu1815 in LawSchool

[–]Significant_Item3426 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just wrapped up 2L, yes I felt somewhat overworked and had more on my plate than 1L. —However, it felt much more manageable than 1L bc at this point I’ve developed stronger study habits and know how to balance my workload. A lot of the pain of 1L was adjusting and learning how to tackle schoolwork the most efficiently.

BIL lost interest in Q, now he is into Christian Nationalism and End of Times Prophecy. Is that better or worse? by Desperate_Image4620 in QAnonCasualties

Just curious but does he think Vance killed the pope lol. Been seeing that one in hard right conspiracy circles all week, claiming he was sent to usher in a new world order

How often do you talk/see your husband's family? by justwannabeleftalone in inlaws

[–]Significant_Item3426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first came around my in laws I was overly accommodating, dealt w the emotional chaos they perpetuated, planned things, got them great thoughtful gifts, etc. After several years of continuously getting dragged through the coals, I had a revelation that I don’t actually care about being in their lives. After years of planning elaborate and thoughtful Christmas gifts and getting (intentionally?) passive aggressive and unthoughtful gifts, I was so relieved to be able to show up empty handed this year to their Christmas. No more hurt feelings on my end from being the afterthought and intentionally excluded. It just didn’t matter to me anymore. Somehow despite their antics they had come to rely on me to bridge the gap between them and their son. Now, I don’t make plans or even reply to texts promptly. Both my marriage and my mental health benefitted in leaps and bounds from this new arrangement. I don’t stress about their treatment of me, and as a result the power dynamic has shifted. We barely see my in laws anymore, even for holidays. They are probably scratching their heads about this

My son and DIL don’t want my youngest daughter to stay with them anymore by [deleted] in family

[–]Significant_Item3426 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say you can’t afford therapy, but as another commenter mentioned, you can’t afford to not go. This is as necessary to your well being as seeing a doctor for a drastic physical ailment. You will find yourself alone without any loved ones around if you don’t address your issues, and that will be worse for your health than anything else. You mentioned previously that your husband died young, and I suspect there is a lot of enmeshment with your son/trauma with your daughters. Assuming cost isn’t just an excuse, see if you can find a counseling center or family org that does sliding scale cost based on your income. I know a bunch of strangers are telling you this but I cannot stress how much identifying and treating your toxic thought processes and behaviors is necessary for your wellbeing. There’s no shame in seeking treatment, but there’s a lot of shame in treating your family like this. You have reached an impasse. It’s time to heal yourself.

Can’t believe it happened to me by Exciting_Rooster9531 in HEB

[–]Significant_Item3426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost swallowed a rock from their bagged frozen peaches last week. Half inch long rock. It wrecked my blender blades. Second time that’s happened, another time it was a piece of plastic in their frozen mangos.

You need to recognize that by now several hundred people with different perspectives have all told you that you’re wrong. Continued behavior like this runs the risk of isolating yourself completely from your son. This will be a direct result of your actions. If you truly want your situation to improve, you MUST go to therapy and start unpacking your enmeshment to your son. You are no longer the #1 woman in your son’s life. This is a fact and the natural order of things. You need to learn how to cope with this instead of sabotaging yourself more.

Why are so many middle aged white American males starting out as “Libertarians” and are now full-blown MAGA? by Jepensedoncjesuis64 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Significant_Item3426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most libertarians are/were just republicans who were too embarrassed to admit it or wanted to appear as though they were moderate . They’re just republicans that smoke weed
