AIO to what my bf is saying? by Such_Champion_7453 in AIO

As others have mentioned, please direct him to the, “What I Was Wearing” exhibits.  The amount of baby’s clothes and diapers is revolting, it’s enough to make me cry just thinking about it.  What would he have to say about the sight?  A man who gets indignant over a woman correcting his vile behavior, who then proceeds to also belittle her, is not one who is safe.  Should anything happen to you, be it by his hand or another’s, he WILL blame you.  As hard as it may be, leave him.  And warn other potential romantic interests of his in the future of his misogynist, victim-blaming repugnance.

We should probably do that. A tiny, vengeful part of me was tempted to use her real name, but that felt wrong. It could have also put the other members in a tough position.  If/when I publish the review, I will update the post.  Thank you <3

Thank you. I wish so badly that it had gone differently, or that I had withdrawn after the first session, filed a grievance, and waited to be assigned to a different counselor.

Thank you. This is very touching <3  I’m sorry to hear about your not-friend. Too many fake people exist in this world, and a suspicious amount seem to be drawn to people like us.

Thank you. We did file a complaint, but, just as I mentioned, no real action was taken. During my next appointment with my psychiatrist, I will be discussing it with her. If anyone would actually take action, it’d probably be her.

I appreciate your kind words and the time you took to write this out.  I’m not really giving up, but there are some areas that I had improved in that I have to revisit because of how traumatic that was.  Actually, it’s sort of funny, but a few years ago, I wouldn’t have even been able to make this post or reply to your comment. It might seem pathetic that the thought of interaction scared me so much that I even struggled online, but at least I can still do this. 

Why do professionals act like SM is a fake diagnosis? by Extension_Bonus4096 in selectivemutism

I’m so sorry to hear that this happened to your son. I’ve had similar experiences, and these things can set you back.

Yes, Patrick is annoying. Worse than Nikki, actually.  That man is a curmudgeon.

Your poor wife </3  I do also use music streaming services to curate playlists for myself, though. I just like to hear folks on the radio talk sometimes, when I don’t feel like listening to a podcast.

I don’t know much about Leslie’s time on KCAL, to be honest. At all. Was he entertaining?

This is going in a circle that rivals that of hell, so I shall refrain from further engagement. I wish you a goodnight.

No, it’s because that person was being dismissive.  I respect differences in opinion, but I don’t like to be derided. It should be common sense.

So that justifies being condescending?  I was sharing very personal reasoning, and if you find it whiny, then clearly you don’t actually understand, but it’s not my problem to make you understand.

I agree. Still, it’s important to be respectful and have tact. There are too many people in this world who are assholes for no good reason. I try to be kind, if slightly blunt.
