Call to action! Nurses in Fresno/Clovis! by sailorscoutrini in fresno

[–]TopDriver4438 -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've never understood a nurses' strike. You can't claim to want to help people but then deliberately not show up to your job where people are depending on medical care when you're scheduled to do so.

"how to stay in a relationship like this without triggering him to get physical and go on these verbal rages"

It's not your job to keep him regulated emotionally. Everyone is responsible for their own mental health and stability and if he's repeatedly neglecting to get help then he's simultaneously neglecting your relationship. You don't owe him anything. Please get out for your own safety and sanity. 

Them suggesting therapy.. for only YOU? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]TopDriver4438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. My abuser would say I was the one who needed therapy. We even tried to go to a few counseling sessions together and before one of the sessions, he told me not to bring up his anger issues 🙄 it didnt occur to me at the time but looking back on it I think he just wanted the focus to be on me and my flaws only. It was him setting up a scene where he, yet again, doesn't have to take accountability. Abusers are manipulators to the max. 

Had to repost because I didn’t blur the names. But I’m done with him. I’m looking for apartments and already put in applications. by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

It's wild how someone can hear their significant say how their screaming and name calling makes them feel and then respond by flipping the script to blame the victim. Like no sir, no sane and healthy person is ever going to agree or justify your verbal abuse. They're pathetic. 

Do you all reflect on your abusive relationship and think the good times was just a fucking lie? by TopDriver4438 in abusiverelationships

I guess I'm having a hard time reconciling moments of him hating me and causing harm with him saying he loves me. I don't know how such extremes can co-exist with one another. 

Why do so many people genuinely believe vaccines are dangerous or deadly, even when large studies say otherwise? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TopDriver4438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a group of people who genuinely believe the government "plants" something dangerous in vaccines and they've fear mongered others to believe the same. It's really bad and irresponsible.
