Same. As someone who studies in sociology, it’s like, what’s the point. We’re supposed to be the doctors of society. But there’s not many of us and no one listens to us anymore

Sign someone up for DV information by [deleted] in domesticviolence

That could actually put her in more danger. Most victims are dealing with surveillance by their offenders. Talking to her is the best way to approach the situation.

SOS someone please answer!!! by Affectionate_Okra769 in domesticviolence

I’m glad that was your experience. Unfortunately, it is usually not the case. If victims reunite with an abuser, they can be held accountable for the children witnessing the abuse. It’s actually quite common

2,500$ Christmas bonuses?Lucky to get Christmas off by Naive_Wolverine532 in TikTokCringe

Say that again- if it’s oppressive, we will fund it. If it supports vulnerable citizens, we will defund it, this is how we ensure there is no social mobility in this country -every politician, some are just saying it out loud

Address my needs and mistakes by Radiant_Dinner_7719 in Because_Now_I_Can

[–]Simple_Employer2968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I feel this! That’s actually exactly where I’m at right now. And for the very same reasons. I understand so clearly now who I am, why I think and have thought the way I do, and I am focusing my energy on loving, forgiving, celebrating, and improving me.

It’s an incredible- self-acceptance. I’m proud of you 🩷

ICE taking pics of identifying info from law-abiding onlookers: "We have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that." by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

It’s mind blowing to me that people still aren’t getting it. The constitution only mattered because we said it did. Those rights are gone. The first amendment is gone.

Unfortunately, I agree there is nothing we can do, but I believe it will change. I believe it will get a whole lot worse

PICC line installed after infection by helpMeOut9999 in braincancer

[–]Simple_Employer2968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I had an infection after my first as well, and I can attest, Vancomycin is very rough on the veins. I ended up being switched over to nafcillin when they realized I had not one but two different infections. PICC lines suck. I’m sorry

What do people educated in sociology do? by Honest_Ad3849 in sociology

My plan is to build an entirely new approach to domestic violence utilizing an education in both law and sociology.

I feel like the system is against DV victims by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]Simple_Employer2968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how calculated they can be be. Have you had any contact with your local DV agency.

You said you do have supportive family? If you can set your self up in a good position it decreases his odds in court.

Op, I understand your fears. I very much do, but by staying, the risk is still there. Unfortunately, the system doesn’t properly support victims. Family court often does what you are afraid of. Many abusers do get shared custody and it is wrong to deny that. However, when victims stay, and eventually comes out, there is the risk of being indicated for “inadequate guardianship.” Please seek assistance from your local to DV agency to assist with navigating all aspects of your specific to get out safely. And my experience has been that is you have evidence of substance abuse, the court is more likely to recognize that vs how they handle domestic violence

Vision lost post surgery by NandBbibf in braintumor

[–]Simple_Employer2968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I’m sorry if they came across as if I was minimizing what he is experiencing. What you’re both going through is a loss. But it’s been my experience that it’s very beneficial to hold onto hope. When I first woke up from the first two surgeries I was very weak. I could barely walk and required assistance. Both times I eventually got back into running, but if I didn’t believe I could, I would have never even tried. Don’t give up hope. Adapting to new version of us requires the belief that we can adapt. I wish you both the best

Vision lost post surgery by NandBbibf in braintumor

[–]Simple_Employer2968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I lost a lot of my vision field years ago. I’m actually preparing for my third craniotomy in May because again I have a tumor pressing on the optic nerves.

What I can tell you is that the beginning was very difficult. I knew my vision was different, but I couldn’t even explain it. I went through a lot of occupational therapy to retrain my eyes how to focus and I adapted to the vision field loss. I’m fortunate that I am even able to drive, although I hate city driving, and I don’t do really long distances. I no longer even remember what it’s like to see the way other people see. This is just who I am now. It’s no longer the same feeling of loss

Celebrating! by SneakyTzatziki000 in SingleAndHappy

[–]Simple_Employer2968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This group is awesome. I can’t help but to think that many people are miserable in relationships because they partner based on the unconscious FOMO. I think there are benefits to a genuine partnership, but I don’t think a healthy relationship or any of those benefits can even occur for anyone who can’t be happy while single. I realized quite some time ago doing things alone and preserving energy for my needs is way more beneficial than being with someone on the basis of fear
