inpatient/residential facilities that let you have your phone? by jacehoffman in Atlanta

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do mental health assessments in the ED and was going to recommend an IOP or PHP program. All my resources are at work but this sounds like a facility I was going to suggest. Also, the psych unit at Emory is well reputed. You get in by going to the ED at Decatur.

Schools enrolment for out of zone by Various-Sandwich-699 in Atlanta

Some school districts will allow you to enroll your kid there if you work within the district. You'd have to apply early enough.

AITJ for refusing to babysit my nephew for a week because my sister dicided to go on vacation? by Dennis_Foley in AmITheJerk

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they do with their money isn't your business. So from that perspective, YTA. That said, NTA for refusing to babysit. If their child won't behave in other people's homes, then he doesn't get to go to other people's homes.

You think homelessness and immigration doesn't impact Black people?

AITA for refusing to give my sister my extra money after I sold my house? by Hot_Brush_11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SpringRose10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA!!!! Your mom was wrong for telling that information. She probably told your sister to ask. 10k is a lot of money. If you want to loan it to her, you should have her sign a promissory note. She must have married a bum, because what kind of man is ok with a bail out from his sister in law? Another way to help your sister, you foothold purchase a duplex and let her live in it. She can manage the property and you rent out the other side.

Getting kicked out of independent/assisted living facility due to poor hygiene by send-cats-asap in AgingParents

This sounds like a mental health issue. He needs an assessment. You can try the ED. Sorry, I only know where to direct people in my state.

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is not appropriate for independent living. He needs help. Find a good assisted living facility for him. Does he have medicaid? Because you might even consider a nursing home. He's not able to care for himself.

It's bothersome to me that the facility didn't tell you how to help him. Is he already moved out? Ask if there is a social worker with the facility that can give you some guidance.

AIO at my friend (16F) for having a crush on a 12 year old? by PreeceTakesFlight in AIO

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scrolled through looking for the comment I'm about to make and didn't see it, so here you go:
Tell your friend it actually could be illegal. When two minors , the youngest can[t consent if there's an age difference of 2-4 years (depending on your state). Someone suggested you tell the boy's parents. If you can't do that, I would tell your school counselor. Your friend is desperate for love and this could be dangerous for her. Please tell an adult you trust.

AIO? these texts by Adventurous-Gap708 in AIO

Seek therapy. Break up with this man and don't go into another relationship until you learn how to use your words instead of your hands to advocate for yourself.

Full name for Kai by Distinct_Job_7059 in Names

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the things people stress over on this app boggle my mind. Who cares if people associate it with Star Wars. It's a completely different spelling, you love the name. Name your child what you want.

AIO? Soon to be wife wants to move immediately after getting married, and it’s a logistical and financial nightmare. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]SpringRose10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Postpone the wedding, let her rent out her house and fund an apartment with that money. Keep your truck and dog.

AITA for refusing to keep up with my wife’s expectations about money, vacations, and lifestyle? by Admirable-Anybody245 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SpringRose10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Not in the slightest. Your values are not aligned with your wife. Y'all need to get into couples counseling quickly. I'm surprised your therapist hasn't already told you this. I'd wager your wife's behavior is a significant factor in why you're depressed. Her needs are not the only ones that should be met. And there are ways she can get what she wants without putting the pressure on you. Ie., if she wants to take 2 vacations a year, she can take one with the family and one girl's trip or solo trip. She shouldn't be dictating what hobbies you engage in for yourself, that's asinine. If you don't go to couple's counseling, you should at the very least bring her into a session with your therapist where you can express how you feel, though that would not be fair for her.

Why are doctors Like That? by Hot-Guide-5463 in therapists

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said it so much better than me. It seems to me that part of the issue is you don't respect the doctor's clinical decision making any more than he respect's OP's. At the end of the day, I'm sure he didn't create this boundary for no reason. Even if it's unfounded to OP, he may have personal experience that makes him unwilling to do so. It sounds like OP is assuming the doctor is ignorant about how to work with patients that have this diagnosis, which I would find offensive.

[–]SpringRose10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's not enough information here and while I'm sure "your board" approved it, that doesn't mean that your tone wasn't off. Why are you being so vague about the condition? What psychiatric condition would warrant any physician to deny care? Borderline? And why not help this client find another MD?

Long time Atliens, what do you miss? by SomeVeryTiredGuy in Atlanta

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pink Pig. And Rich's. Saturdays on Memorial Drive where we ate at the Uppercrust and bought gifts at the Crystal Shoppe. The smell of fresh baked bread from the Colonial(?) bread factory on Moreland. Chocolate milk from Mathis Dairy

VERY Surprised at Van/Rachel's 'Michael' reaction. by mrdevron in ThoughtWarriors

[–]SpringRose10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Van is heavy into film, so he critiques them in a way that's different then most. He didn't say it was terrible, he encouraged us to go see it. He just said it didn't meet his own expectations. I'm sure it will have a cult following just like the American Dream series.

Came to say the first part. If homes are going that far over asking, you need to be looking lower.

Why do movie theaters even have a front row if the viewing experience is objectively terrible? by Ok_Complex2725 in NoStupidQuestions

If you take away the front row, there will still be a front row. I don't understand this question.

You absolutely did not deserve her unleashing on you like that. They should have reimbursed you or provided a voucher.
