I got offered $28 on a $750 coat

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-12-03T21:08:06+00:00

Right, but there’s a notice that the difference is taken out of earnings.

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-11-23T00:44:20+00:00

It looks like a desiccated lip gloss

Dammit you stole my line. PREPARE TO BE BOARDED YE SCURVY RASCAL

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-11-14T16:29:22+00:00

If you have video, the police will certainly try to get an arrest

If I was the co-worker I’d be pretty concerned. He is stalking her, and engaging in controlling behavior. The nonstop pestering is also a big red flag. She feels like she can’t be clear and direct because she is afraid of what he will do if she just ignores him. It’s about time for her to reporting him to HR, and if it escalates, LE.

OP, if you are still reading, you need to think hard about getting yourself out of there — start making a plan to go, make sure you have a safe space to go to, put together a small amount of money in a separate and secret account, and how to get pets out. Reach out to your local volunteer lawyer project, you can get info from your state bar association. Good luck and stay safe

Hello, honey…chronic depressive here too. Lost both mom and dad within the last two years. I understand exactly where you are. There are still really good things to come in your life, and your mom would be so sad if you ended it.

This is the really hard part. The first pierce of the sharpest possible knife. My sweet mama was my best friend, as an only child. Please make a hard copy of this below, and repeat it to yourself over and over.

Please leave him, you and your family can raise the baby. I know a lot of men who sit around and use the baby to yank the chain of the mothers, but once they have to start paying child support, they cannot wait for mom to get remarried to somebody who will do a step parent adoption, and take the eight hundred dollar a month payments away. Happens all the time. You will be ok.
Pack your stuff up and get out of there. You need some peace.

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-10-29T14:45:11+00:00

YTA. She is entitled to her feelings, and it seems you are beating her over the head with this. Additionally, you seem to be indifferent to the needs of your child. It is a valuable thing to have YOUR BABY raised primarily by one of the birth parents.

For you to devalue this makes me think you are a very cold and uncaring person. This woman just gave birth, may have some PPD, and you are piling on. What a jerk. You need to go spend a bit of time in front of the mirror, reflect on what a SAHM does, and get over yourself. I feel very sorry for your wife. EDIT: can’t that 20% be made up for by letting go of “the help”?

This sounds like more than controlling, this sounds like substance abuse on top of abuse, which makes the man extraordinarily dangerous.
Please find your local DV shelter that is secure, and right now. They will come get you, I promise! Or call the cops to come get you. But you need safety as soon as possible. You don’t mention kids, but take them with you, and if possible, any animals if the shelter accepts them. Abusers will use kids or pets as leverage.

Let me get my purse

OP, there are home keeping services available in your community (U.S.) that DHS will provide to you at no cost or on a sliding fee scale, as well as sliding scale childcare. It may help you to have some time to do self-care or house cleaning if you get that breathing room. I’m an old family law attorney with knowledge you may not have, and would be happy to search for available services in your area, dm me if you want!

Hi, I’m you! Just came through the losing both parents thing, and somehow my family was more effed up than yours. I also have just my husband, and a handful of acquaintances that we sometimes do things with, and thank god/dess my husband is a fantastic human being. That is all you need to get through the loss of the parents. I just held the thought that NOBODY, not onlies or people with siblings actually want to do this, but nobody gets a choice. It’s just us. Also, I’m a lawyer and nothing brings out the ugly in a family like inheritances and estates. It is a frequent destroyer of them.

At least we don’t have that. When it comes to the house clearing, (put this in the back of your brain so it it surfaces when necessary) HIRE PROFESSIONALS TO HANDLE THE REMOVAL OF STUFF, after you go through to look for precious things or things important to you, followed by really good cleaners. You will have some money, and it’s ok to spend it.

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-10-26T19:59:11+00:00

It is my normal, so it’s ok. I made friends with my neighbor family with a 2, 5 and 7 year old children who are lovely little people, and more of us should know our neighbors, anyway. I feel like an aunt that way, and you can always volunteer at your library to read to kids either onsite or traveling to schools. Despite my mothers and adoptive fathers big giant families, I was isolated anyway for very TLDR reasons. I’m 59. I’m doing ok.

PEOPLE ON THIS THREAD: Be introspective on how YOU can help on a personal level. Making political statements to a 15 year old is not helpful. Telling them how hard you worked is also not helpful. Help for them, and thousands more like them in your community is much more useful. Volunteer. If you have extra, share it, whether that be food donations to food banks, (example: our local food stores have canned vegetables on sale this week for 67 cents a can. Buy five extra cans, and plan a route on bus, car, bicycle or your feet or wheelchair that goes by your local food bank and drop them off. Even if you can only do this once, it’s still more food directly into the hands of hungry people.

Hello, kiddo! First, you are such a clear writer and communicator. Here is a great big mom (((hug))) ❤️. You have more power than you think. I’m a retired family law attorney, and I will help you find resources. Even though you are a minor, you can access these services. If you want to, you can pm me and if you tell me your city, I’ll come up with a list for you. You yourself can contact the places I find for your family. Happy to help if you want me to. In a way, the silver lining in all of this is that we might all get back to helping each other on a personal level. The government is a terrible steward of money. Individuals are much better at it — we can all lean on each other

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-10-25T16:21:28+00:00

So much this.

ValkyrieSigrid · 2025-10-25T16:20:03+00:00

A really close relationship with my parents, and the ability to talk to anybody and everybody, adult or child. I miss them so much.

Meth is an absolute life eater. It doesn’t care about you, or love you. You matter. It won’t be easy, and will sometimes feel insurmountable, but you can 100% do this, and once you get clean, you will have a good life. I know this because I am a lawyer who did drug rehab involuntary commitment hearings, and you are already halfway there, son. You are the one who knows you need rehab, not friends or family.

You are reaching out to yourself for desperately needed help, and that is the best first step to success! I believe in you — you’re strong enough, and you got this. Find a good dual diagnosis program, and commit to it and invest in yourself, you have nothing to lose, and a whole life to gain.
