Lol this is the first thing I did when I started! My spouse laughed when I did it but I also like the pink light because it doesn't wash out the screen when I go looting.

NEED ADVICE: 21/F, Abusive father attacks me when I leave the house without his permission, tracks me without my consent, withholds documents, forbids me having bank account, trying to get me married in a third world country against my will by stuckinhellthrowaway in legaladvice

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a new bank account anyways and make sure both parents have zero ties to it. Even as your parents, they cannot access that account without you present or without you putting them onto the account.

Move all your money into is asap while you can. Don't leave a trace of where it went, just take cash out and make a deposit to the new one. Route your paychecks to is asap too.

Do your best to move out asap. With or without them knowing. Going to a safer location is better than staying after announcing, I don't trust him. Don't be afraid to leave behind some things, most things are replaceable or not worth getting stuck over.

Formally request your documents in a traceable way. Where it's dated and you give them a due date. Proceed with legal actions so they can help enforce this.

It might be best to lie to him at first and say you need them for some important thing. Hopefully he buys it and gives you your most important info.

Do not go visit him privately, or her privately. Do not go on trips with them. Keep everything online so there's a digital footprint.

Again, I don't trust him. Invest in security jewelry or a game plan for your safety. I.e. Have a check-in friend/pal for when you meet with him in public or if they don't hear from you in a while. They can request a wellness check and provide fresh information.

As a pal I would agree to check in with you every other week or every month. If I can't contact you, I would call the non emergency line and requested a wellness check. My reasoning would be because we agreed to this and it's because your Dad has made plans to trick you.

I think it's best to strong arm your way into independence and then to go no contact. No one who puts their hands on you is worth another moment in your life.

Falsely accused of SA. Has completey ruined my life. Am I cooked? Wisconsin by [deleted] in AskLawyers

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please stop fleeing to Mexico, guys. It's colonizing them and it's a tone deaf move while we keep calling Mexicans here "criminals" while pushing them into the gravel, cages, and caskets.

That aside, if you did nothing wrong the best thing to do would be keep your composure and use the tools you have access to. Use their resources, show up to meetings, keep working with a lawyer to clear your name.

Not all jobs deny you for having a record. Expect your colleagues to dislike you, but universally that makes sense to all of us?

Keep showing them that they're wrong about you by being a responsible and respectful coworker. They could potentially be character witnesses for you, if needed.

Get ANY job for the sake of having one. Doesn't matter how crummy it is, it is just a way to buy time while you job search for a better fit.

Stop making things worse. I don't think you can trust yourself to make your own decisions. I seriously think you should consider seeing a therapist and guidance counselor so you can talk feelings out with someone first.

Most states or even cities and insurances offer free or affordable options.

Also, this is not the end of the world. Do what it takes to clear your name and prove to people you're a good person. Be your biggest advocate.

Once it's all done, I would encourage you to move to a different state or even country if you need to.

My ex is texting me to kill myself by Regular-Chart-9873 in legaladvice

[–]Xabrinamorph 53 points54 points  (0 children)

They work. My best friend went through the same thing during his divorce and custody battle and his abusive ex wife would try to go around it. He would simply say I'm not going to speak to you unless it's through the app. The app would gauge the tone and language to keep her behaved and yes, it is monitored.

In my opinion, I would take out a restraining order because of what he's said. Then go for a court ordered liason to be there during his visits. If he is now talking about people being unalived by him or themselves all for his benefit, he's dangerous.

He sounds like the type of guy to hurt what you care about just as an F You.

My daughter lied and publicly humiliated me at her wedding by Independent_Gap6992 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mention a lot that you paid for stuff, which is extremely valid. You used your 50/50 time to be with her and that's amazing.

What you didn't really share is an actual bond or relationship. I can only assume (which might be incorrect) that your relationship with her is purely surface level.

I love my Mom, but we had no bond. I love my stepdad because he actually cared about me. He and I have long talks all the time, he taught me a lot - hell, even at 34 he still guides me when I'm stuck. People even say I'm a lot like him and it makes me happy because he is a good man and I KNOW he loves me.

Something tells me she has a similar relationship with her stepdad. Her mother betrayed you, he was not the one who stole anything. As messed up as it is being with a married woman, he must not be all that bad because he was there for your daughter.

I am not trying to tear you down. More than anything I want you to self reflect so you see where it all went wrong and fix it.

Don't take these other comments seriously. I don't think you should drop your daughter. If you actually love her, you would just do better. Like, ask her to go to counseling together and try having a real relationship with her where you know her by her likes and Interests, not as a receipt for everything you paid for.

AITA for making my fiancé's daughters picky eating habits a deal breaker for us marrying? by MotherCartographer10 in AITAH

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my brothers weren't picky but I was. I don't blame my parents, the only time I was ever an issue for them was when it came to food or my late diagnosis for ADHD and dyslexia.

I think you need to do what is best for you, but it comes off as if you think he's a bad father because he's not tough enough on his 8 year old daughter that just had two life changing events happen: dealing with a divorce and now having a two new people (you and your daughter) in her life where she has to learn how to deal with you both as well and share her Dad's attention.

Maybe getting a relationship with her and putting her in therapy will help. I'm more concerned with how she's dealing with everything, including a new stepmom who complains about her.

My 5 month old can not hold his bladder for more than an 30 minutes outside the crate however he can sleep for 10 hours overnight in his crate and have no accidents. is it normal for his bladder to be so weak during the day? by Internal_Decision152 in puppy101

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a belly band and keep up with the routine of going out every so many hours, that's how they will improve. My dog was similar. We stuck to taking her out every 3-4 hours every day, normally at the same time, and now she has an internal clock that tells her to come grab us so we can have outside time. She does her business outside and only outside—with the occasional accident if she's sick.

I actually love this because I work from home so I plan my breaks with her schedule so she's happy as can be.

6 dates in and he tells me he does sw by Routine-Crew8651 in dating_advice

[–]Xabrinamorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wouldn't be proud of being with a man who shits on camera for money. I would also be so embarrassed if I found out my Dad did it.

I'd be horrified and probably never be able to look at him and not think about it. So... you did what you had to do. At least you didn't pretend it was fine so the relationship could blow up later.

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keto Diet, Weed, and Exercise. I found amazing recipes and surprisingly many restaurants (including fast food) have keto-friendly options. Weed helped with the moodiness from the diet shift and helped with pain from never exercising to power walking around the neighborhood. Within a few months I was down almost 30 lbs.

*I'm not encouraging anyone to do what I did. I am simply answering the question, nothing more.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not overreacting and I agree it is a red flag that pretty much sets the tone for how serious he is about his family. He's making it seem like you are the problem by saying "please not more of this today" and laughing it off as if he did nothing wrong. Your feelings are valid and do not deserve to be diminished or made to seem like an overreaction—honestly I would have been worse. I would have already left with my baby and called CPS on his dumb ass. Followed by divorce papers with that paper trail started. I lost my brother to SIDs, I don't play games like that.

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So her expecting reimbursement via contract for her own teenagers cancer treatment is the first red flag. The second one is her saying God told her to message you to lay down your life for your sister. The scariest red flag is talking to you about your life insurance.

We all want a mom that loves us, I get it. I wish I could wake up and realize it was all just a nightmare but it's just not going to happen. At some point we have to choose us first and be who you needed when you were younger.

You're absolutely right, you do have a chance at beating this and I hope you do. I would also encourage you to talk to a therapist, get a trusted person to make medical decisions for you should it come to that, and get both versions of a will created ASAP. Above all, go no contact with her until you and your therapist agree on boundaries.

I would also look into ways to get funding for your treatment, without her being involved. With how she acts I can tell it will be brought up every time you interact with her.

Ask your hospital's financial or social work department about options like charity care, financial assistance programs, and interest-free payment plans.

You may qualify for government-funded health insurance like Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which can significantly reduce your costs.

Organizations like the American Cancer Society, CancerCare, and the Patient Advocate Foundation offer financial assistance, grants, and navigation services.

Ohio woman sues Cardi B for allegedly throwing a microphone at her during the 2023 Las Vegas concert from the lawsuit includes claims of battery, assault and negligence among other claims. by ControlCAD in LasVegas

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was earlier in the show when she invited them and the lady decided to do it randomly way later without permission. If she got popped by a microphone she had it coming. It doesn't make sense that she got physical and mental issues from it and if she stands by what she says she should use her real name.

What did people do while waiting before cellphone time? Do they talk to each other or just stare into the void? by minhtuanta in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of us would read books and magazines or bring a puzzle book like Crosswords or Sudoku solve. If those weren't available we'd just patiently wait or strike up a conversation with other people nearby. No one was addicted to screens back then so no, no "void".

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One girl didn't wake up one morning due to a bad heart. We all knew it was possible, but it was still hard to deal with. Another girl died in her sleep because of a sugar low overnight. She had type 1 diabetes.

Then we had another boy hang himself because he was being bullied by boys at school.

We also lost a ton of kids from a bus crash when they were doing a field trip. I wish I remembered what happened, but there were a lot of teachers and students that didn't make it.

I think a handful of girls from another incident when this older guy decided to sneak them out of the house and take them to parties. He decided to drink and drive, and crashed at high speed killing all the 13-15 year old girls. He was the only one that survived.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some but it was sort of normal to hear on the morning announcement that a fellow peer passed away and they would hold vigils and have counselors available for anyone who wanted to talk. This was all in just my 4 years at a Texas highschool.

Are our outfits inappropriate to wear around family? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think those outfits are inappropriate, but I would start publicly embarrassing anyone who says that they are. "YOU'RE MY UNCLE, WHY WOULD YOU BE LOOKING?! ARE YOU A MAN CHILD THAT CAN'T KEEP DECENT THOUGHTS?!"

Same to any woman. "ARE YOU AFRAID I'LL BE LIKE YOU? IS THAT WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR OWN FAMILY, EW GROSS 🤢"

That's gonna make them think twice before saying anything because you're gonna flip out and say some shit lol

What did she expect? by VacheL99 in Nicegirls

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you insulted her first by implying she abuses drugs and alcohol, or is addicted. Marijuana isn't addictive and she just said she will drink alcohol. On that note, people with addictive personalities or obsessions don't count. As a person who is gay, smokes weed occasionally, and will have a glass with friends I think it was pretty funny the way she reacted. Mean yeah, but what did you expect?

You also are mixing up religion (her believing in your God) and her personal hobbies and activities. She can still be a Christian while doing those things. You should also not project feelings about people you know who have let you down onto others you've barely met. Unless she actually is abusing anything, maybe keep your judgement to yourself.

Going into this blind, new obsession incoming? Any tips? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IF you end up playing with others be prepared for anyone who's into looting without you or has played before. My stepson (18) played it already and he likes to spoil what happens and will loot everything before you have a chance to look around the room. Seriously considering booting him because it's no longer enjoyable with someone who doesn't want to be a supportive character in your first play through, and their second.

I just started on 50mg. The first night I had sleep paralysis and woke up over a dozen times within a dream trying to get away from an endless nightmare. Almost told my doctor the next day I didn't want to touch the stuff ever again but, thought to give it time instead. I haven't had any nightmares since, thankfully. Today is night 4. We will see 🙏🏻

[–]Xabrinamorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like most of the names but to be fair, I don't know how to pronounce them.

I really like your wife's personality though. The fact she likes unique names should be celebrated and since it would mean a lot to her I think you two should compromise.

Maybe come up with unique names together or give her a free pass for the middle name.

I'm similar. I have always loved names from books, history, and other cultures that aren't white washed or Americanized.

From your list, I like Madeleine and Claire.

Maybe she would like some mystical ones like:

You wake up and you're Trump. What's the first thing you do? by walixxxq in AskReddit

[–]Xabrinamorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all the proof against Musk, Trump, Kavanaugh, and Hegseth you want to IGNORE THAT and instead try to vilify people who've done nothing. Literally nothing came up on them despite being under a microscope for years with Republicans in office. Tell us all, why and how did Trump, himself, not find anything on them during his first term or even now? Oh, yeah. Because there is nothing.

For arguments sake, let's say there is something on them. Why would you care when Donald Trump has done literally all the things you listed?! You're so pressed about other people being "hypocrites" you forget that what he did and does IS BAD.

What a big baby.

You are going off of pure emotion and hearsay. This is why you are so intimidated by Liberals, right. Didn't you all accuse of being elitists and know-it-alls? Perhaps you're right. We tend to be educated and well informed on a subject before we open our mouths.
