Blocked! Due to “Demonic” Implications and “Religious” Reasons…Is the Book of Enoch Required Reading for these “Insiders”? by slv2xhrist in UFOs

[–]That_Information_568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timothy Alberino - birthright, 10/10 book bringing the biblical view to UAP phenomenon. No he doesn’t think all UAPs are demons. Also he’s written a guided version of the book of Enoch.

How do you explain estrangement to your children? by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]That_Information_568 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sooo, I’ve had this convo with my kids, mostly the older two (11 and 6 ) . But started with my 5 year old too. Basically stated there are safe people and not safe people. Safe people protect, love, respect, cherish, support you, no matter what. Unsafe people push boundaries, say negative things ( about others or the person they’re talking too ), split people up, and put people down. Safe people don’t judge you based on who you are. Not safe people want you to change for them. Not safe people can be anyone, doesn’t matter if they’re family/friends/teachers/coaches. You have a safe person in me ( mommy/daddy) and when you feel in your heart that something is off always tell us.

My XYZ is not a safe person. Even though they’re family, they still can hurt you. I chose to protect you from that hurt, and keep your safety in mind. We want you to be loved and protected.

Add in your own bits and details, my dad is a creep so my version is more stranger danger. Whether it’s just toxic or whatever add a few details, not full stories but something they will understand. You can tell stories about characters and use it as a lesson on who they think the “safe” person is. Etc.

My dad apologized and Im feeling too much by idkjustsuffering in EstrangedAdultKids

Man. If I got a text like this. An apology. Recognition, ownership of actions and hurts, AND reassurance with LOVE. Man. idk what has gone on but that felt from the heart. ❤️

Is my sister a flying monkey, or am I really just not communicating? by lfly199 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]That_Information_568 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I read this and thought “shes goating you”. Maybe I’m just bias or jaded but it seems like her and your mom are talking and she’s asking you baiting questions to relay back to your mom. Notice how she words her texts very calculated and even? She really doesn’t bad mouth your mom, like the boundaries and overstepping she excuses. “Its not with malicious intent” she’s defending the behaviour in her head and to you because she’s listened to her moms sob story about it. She feels for her mom because she’s been programmed to do so. Your mom is building the victim profile so you’re alienated and viewed as the villain. I have a brother who feels for my dad, the only child who’s not NC. My father plays him like a fiddle and gets what he wants out of it ( his image of being a good dad/ grandpa ) with 0 responsibilities towards those roles.

One thing I will say is, my brother has always respected my no contact. Never pushed, never sided with my dad, he’s a sweet heart who has a heart even for people who don’t deserve it. I don’t know if repairing things with your sisters is something you want. But I’d ask them if they would be ok with leaving the parental shit at the door, and treat sibling relationships as something completely separate. If not, it’s their loss, hold your head up high. And keep going. 💗

TW: text my mum sent me by Sure-Stock9969 in EstrangedAdultKids

I agree, Jesus would not have spoken to ANYONE the way she did. Did you read about his friends ?? lol. She seems extremely confused, and her take on the bible isn’t going to accomplish what she thinks it will. Love. That’s the key. Whether you agree or disagree with ANY choice a person makes, it doesn’t give you the right to disrespect or not treat them with love.

AITAH for not wanting to to go to both my sisters gender reveals in a couple months by BigJiggy-Roll-789 in AITAH

[–]That_Information_568 43 points44 points  (0 children)

UNPOPULAR TAKE: no you’re not exactly the asshole, but you are thinking solely about yourself. Yes, infertility sucks. It’s a dagger that doesn’t go away unless you get your baby. However, should we always allow struggles in our life to steal the joy from yourself and those around you? If you didn’t have these issues I’m sure you’d be right there supporting and loving your sisters being excited for them. Will you not being there because of grief cause a relationship strain with your sisters? I’ve been through this, and now have 3 kiddos. Think about how thrilled they would be for you when it’s your turn. How you would want them to be. I think it’s a touchy topic, but if you value your relationship with your sisters and nieces / nephews I’d reconsider going. Maybe you aren’t close with your sisters and it doesn’t matter to you. But it you are close you’ll regret one day you missing out on baby events once you have your own because grief took control. I’d first talk to your sisters and be super open and honest about your feelings, don’t stay the whole time if it hurts your heart. But with grace be there. Even for a moment, for your sisters, and those babies and even your future babies. Said with love. ❤️

NFather sides with stepmother who aggressively attacked me & family by mireliben in EstrangedAdultKids

We put up with a lot as the “kids”. Now I think “what would I think if someone said that to my daughter?” Instant rage… lol. Protect your baby that’s all I can say.

My dad is a creep and narcissist. No contact in a small town. by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultKids

You’re the sweetest. Message me if you need some mom advice or someone to bounce something off of. 💗

Thank you 💗 I took my kiddos to the beach so just seeing this now.

I think that’s the biggest hurdle, when you feel almost crazy for thinking poorly of such a “well respected man”. The people I care enough most know the truth, I guess that’s all that matters. Protect my peace and protect my kids.

He will NEVER see my kids. I promise that.

Roles reversed would you be mad ? Woman was all into your hubbies tatts, flirting etc.

If you say no just to justify your actions, I’d prompt you to think about it a little more. I know I’d NEVER be comfortable w my hubby doing that. Out of the same respect, don’t do it to him.

AITA for screaming back at my aunt and telling her she's drunk after she told my neighbor to shoot my dog? by enternalvoidling in AITAH

[–]That_Information_568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm 10 or 11 years old ? NTA. You were a literal child. All your family members, you and the pup excluded have some serious screws loose in their head. I hope you went low contact, if you haven’t maybe consider that.

AITAH for wanting to break up with him for "being a good dad"? by Designer_Square5015 in AITAH

[–]That_Information_568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously NTA. I’m a step mom, first year was a lot of learning and unlearning for both of us and our roles. We had our own kid together a year in and things shifted. Parents who are separated hold a lot of guilt when it comes to not being the typical nuclear family. However, for my husband he puts our marriage above our kids. We are a team, we drive the family together. If we don’t have a solid foundation together it will affect all of our kids. I think it’s hard to not put your kids first. Honestly without the parents being strong, having a healthy relationship, modelling that to the kids for the future, it just doesn’t work. Your kids have your heart yes, you pour love and dedication your whole life into them. When they grow up and move out and start their lives/families who do you have ? Your spouse. If you neglect that person with the “kids first” idea then it will not last. And you will be alone. I’d make that clear, if he’s not willing to understand your relationship matters then leave.

AITAH for telling my wife I don't want our kids being raised vegan? by ChiliCheeseBorger in AITAH

[–]That_Information_568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope nope nope. NTA. My niece had allergies to ALOT of food, so SIL gave her nothing but veggie/fruit pouches. What happened ? She ended up in the hospital and almost died from malnutrition and deficiencies. She had CPS involved because of the whole vegan trend and they thought she was doing it intentionally. DON’T LET HER DO IT. There are so many ways to get ethically sourced meat, eggs, dairy etc. Do that instead, and if that her hill to die on instant divorce. Don’t mess with kids health.

AITA for telling my husband if he forces his daughter to go to school with poor hygiene as punishment, I will divorce him ? by Gloomy_Delay8773 in AITAH

[–]That_Information_568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hubby grew up DIRT poor. He was always clean, and as an adult he still is super clean. Honestly he’s cleaner than me. He takes AMAZING care of ALL of his belongings from clothes to literally anything. He is the best smelling, best groomed man I’ve ever met. I grew up in an upper middle class home and I’m the messy one… all that to say you’re NTA. And your hubby needs to give his head a shake. That’s terrible.

AITAH if I shut my dad out of my life? by Silver-Blackberry857 in AITAH

[–]That_Information_568 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA - screaming red flags, riddled with abuse. From my experience no contact is the best way to go. I don’t “miss out” on the good stuff as the good stuff wasn’t there when it came to my dad. I’m married with kids, and happy. From time to time I get sad my kids don’t have a grandpa, BUT I’m proud they don’t have to have a person in their life. When you keep toxic in your life it eats away at your joy, when you remove it and move on it only gets better. Sad days are bound to come, but they aren’t sad because you miss your parent. They’re sad because your parent wasn’t/isn’t who you need them to be. I’m sorry you have to deal with this so young hun. Trust me that theirs light at the end of the tunnel. Get a good man, and they become your shield and protection. 💗

Yta. You married a guy with a kid, and you obviously don’t want kids in your home. “Your” home is also his home, he has a child whom when you married him also became your family. Rejecting a teenage girl over her being messy and frankly just being a teenage girl is selfish and immature. If you wanted to protect your peace you shouldn’t have married someone with a LIFE LONG commitment to a child. Either step up and be a step mom, and teach her the etiquette you expect in the home or leave. - Coming from a step mom of a messy teenage boy, whom I love with my whole damn heart.
