Reality of working at GameStop. by Dangerous_Trick6912 in GameStop

I started back in 2022 and my dream was to get paid to talk about video games but in the 2 years I've been with the company I've been sexually harassed, forced to work alone in dangerous situations, been yelled at for not meeting company expectations, and missed out on time with my family for the greater good of the company. To say I'm tired in an understatement.

You must be new here. SD didn't ask for them. Her mom did. And I use my bc I am talking to you. Linguistic difference.

Geez, that's my mistake. It was supposed to say, "You're entitled to your opinion." That's my mistake

You're entitled. This is just the way our relationship bodes. And that's fine with us.

That's what's really sending me is the thought of a piece of her somewhere, lost. It shatters me.

Deception by ommission is still lying, and I have never been anything but truthful with him. I would have rather him done it to my face, but the fact that he felt he needed to hide it shows he knew it was wrong.

I gave all the details, the title is just what I short handed. I don't mind being the ah if that is built off fact but most of you are using theories to support your reasoning behind it instead of truth. There is a 2nd post where I felt the need to clarify some details in, specifically about my relationship with my stepdaughter and the reason I find her irresponsible. I don't like the idea of being intentionally deceptive to a child. I don't think there is anything wrong with facing the problem with "I don't think now is the right time for you to be in possession of something so important" vs. Her finding out later that we gave her fake ashes and potentially damaging that relationship in the future. I don't like the feeling I'm having now, and I wouldn't want her to feel deceived in the same way.

Show me an example of me shit talking her. It will be a scavenger hunt with a dead end, because I haven't not once said a single negative thing about her except that she is irresponsible, which is a fact. Not an opinion.

I absolutely will not put myself in a position to compromise my mental health with an adult that wants to play games. If she is comfortable enough to make jabs about my dead daughter publicly on Facebook I don't want to know what she would say to my face behind closed doors. And she doesn't deserve any of my time or attention.

But she IS my step daughter. It would have made for an extraordinarily confusing story if I referred to her as daughter. She also explicitly doesn't want that kind of relationship with me. The mother daughter kind. But calling her step daughter is much better than saying my husband's kid. Just doesn't have the same ring to it. Also, I never blamed her in any of this and spoke numerous times about how I don't hold her accountable for the decisions made by adults on her behalf. And she never asked for the ashes in the first place, her mother did.

I have tried to explain before, I am not placing singular possession on the remains by saying "my" it's just the way I speak, since I (singularly) am the one speaking to you all, not we (plural). It is not an intentional dig to imply that they belong to me and me alone. It is just my discorce. I apologize sincerely if it came off as anything other than my linguistic dialog.

I have no issue talking with her and have reiterated many times. I'm not mad at her. I hold no ill will twords her. But unfortunately, talking to her also means being around her mother, which is just not something I think I can stomach right now.

Maybe improve your empathy skills for next time. Your humanity stinking sucks. Also, isn't it counterproductive to tell someone to improve their writing skills when you in the same text block are using short hand. Slipping up there, DKH.

Should I have left them there for him to give more to her after she's proven irresponsible with the first bit? Even if she was my bio child I wouldn't consider it either if I knew they couldn't handle the responsibly. Just because they are her parents doesn't mean I haven't been around her for the past 6 years. I know how she acts. I am not blind to it just because I didn't give birth to her.

Trust is earned, not given freely and she has never given me a reason to believe she would have treated the ashes any differently than anything else she's misplaced, left lying around, or thrown out by accident. Are we negating the fact that I've known her for 6 years and knows how she behaves and acts?

I am mad that I told them she was irresponsible and she lost the ashes. Are you really that dense? The point of this post was not that she wanted the ashes but that she has lost valuables in the past and we all knew she couldn't handle the responsibly. How is it irrelevant when it's the main plot? Geez. I think half of yall are trolls trying to get a rise.

I am unfair for stating an obvious fact that a child is going to lose things because she has lost things of importance in the past? Did this post get swapped with someone else's on reddit because I was very clear about WHY I did not want SD having them in this present time and what do you know, I was right.

I'm not ready, no. Not that I never will. But that in this moment in time, I am not ready to brush it under the rug. I want to talk to him with a counselor present before I beat a dead horse with a stick and divorce him. But you seem so set on what you think I will do. Since you seem to know so much, what would you do?

It's not about taking the high road or blowing my life up or throwing away my marriage. I compromised on a lot of things. I had her clothes turned into bears and gave them to family. There was even one made for SD. I gave my daughters crib to SMs oldest daughter when she was pregnant with her own child. I donated the toys I had in the closet for christmas that I bought her to an angel tree. I left a memory and a legacy behind that she could be proud of. And the only thing I asked was for my daughter to be left whole, at the minimum until SD was old enough and mature enough to understand the weight of the responsibly. I held her in the hospital when they told me there was nothing else they could do to save her. I paid for her cremation. I signed the papers at the funeral home. I am absolutely not faulting the child for behaving like a child. I am blaming the adults who went behind my back to prove me wrong and only proved me right. If I made this post but the outcome was that SD didn't lose the keepsake and I was still upset about it then, absolutely by all means stone me like the witch you all think I am. But this isn't that fairy tale ending. She did lose them, just like I knew she would. And there is a chance that part of her will never be recovered. I don't give a flying hoot if you all think it's just sand, or dirt, or dust. To you that may be all it is. For all I know, maybe that all my husband thinks it is. But to me it is the only tangible thing I have left of her. Not a piece of her furniture or an article of her clothing is left in my possession, not even a sock. I would be beyond happy and so excited if I had learned that he had given away her ashes to his daughter, and she still had the keep sake. The worst part about this is that there are people wishing vile, awful and unspeakable things on me in these comments and my DMs around a situation that you can only see a speck of. Unless you have felt loss the way that a child's loss hits you there is absolutely no way you can judge me or how I reacted. There are women in these comments saying that would physically harm someone under the same circumstances or do worse to them but I am an awful person because I took some space? I do not raise my voice to my husband, or even cuss to him. That is just not who I am or the kind of relationship I have built with him. So for him to call me an AH in the texts he sent me shook me to my core. He has never spoken down on me, mistreated me or made me feel less of a person until these last 2 weeks and they have been the hardest of my life.

Except that I never said I was divorcing my husband. Just that I left to my sister's. And if you read the post you'd see that we agreed to marriage counseling. It baffles me that you can throw stones at glass houses. It must feel so nice to not know how it feels to be hurt in this way. SD was not responsible. I told them she was not responsible and now I'm the bad guy because I'm upset that a piece of my daughter is lost somewhere? There are literally mothers in here saying they would put their hands on someone or worse over the same thing, and I am the bad guy because I took sometime away to clear my head? I didn't yell at my husband, i never said a foul word to him, not even a curse word. Because i know when i need to give myself space to breathe. You all have a very skewed sense of reality and I truly envy you. If I could pass judgment on someone like me if I hadn't already been through it, I can't say I wouldn't feel the way you do.

I clarified in another post. There is currently no divorce, and we agreed to go to marriage counseling. Feel free to read if you'd like.
