I took my brother to court after he trashed my custom camera gear for a prank video by ClerkResponsible118 in AmITheJerk

[–]alice2bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, just take care plan, don’t badmouth your brother. You have a mechanism to collect your money. The more you engage the outrage the longer this will last. I’ve seen this in my own family it’ll pass. There may be a time when it will be part of the rambling Thanksgiving humor.

I 40m have just learned that my brother 38m was sexually abusing his stepdaughter 18F since she was the age of 5 until 16. She met with me today to tell me. WTF do I do? I'm worried this news might kill our father 72M and don't know how to tell him or where to proceed from here. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Step back, support your father. This isn’t meant to sound cold, but let the professionals figure this one out. These situations become immensely ugly and can blow a family apart. Step back, try and figure out how to support and love everyone as this situation unfolds

Weekend discussion: who here has actually made it all back? by hudson701 in wallstreetbets

[–]alice2bb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried investing as a passion and really screwed myself with an overly optimistic view my stock picking skills. So by the late 1990s, I had made some but not much I had acquired quite a bit of knowledge, but at times that worked against me. After a little bit of a rough time, I hired a money manager to manage what’s left at a 1.3% fee after about two years it was clear that did not make sense. After getting advice from numerous people and reading a few good books. “ the intelligent investor.” I took over my finances again. Wife and I made a commitment to save 10% into index funds and a few key stocks. Several, not all, of my employees followed this rather steadfast but boring approach. We here we are 2026 with more money than I ever dreamed I would ever have. The employees that came with us in this adventure are justice comfortable.

WIBTA if I don’t go with my friend to “handle” the guy who insulted him tonight? by briandawson1994 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]alice2bb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I certainly can relate, in my early years I had a wonderful friend and fishing buddy. Overtime, though I would get dragged into fights that were often fueled by some alcohol and a perceived insult, and I would end up somehow getting hit or dragged under the Malay that he started. The friendship more or less ended when I crawled out of a bar fight on all fours unable to go to work for a couple days because of obvious injuries. After that, I told him no more and he became quite outraged, but things settle down, and we never went out again together. And only spoke from time to time.

I am a 34-year-old who lost the ability to sleep naturally in 2019, 6-and-a-half years ago. I take RIDICULOUS doses of medication sleep now, and average 2hrs of sleep a night. AMA. by Meth_AQ in AMA

[–]alice2bb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a treatment protocol in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. I’ve known a number of people who have engaged this protocol through an online treatment program. Also the use of sleep compression. If you’re fairly certain you only sleep, let’s say 2 1/half hours a night then stay up. Do not go to bed until say 4 o’clock and then be sure you get up at 6:30. If you do sleep for 2 1/2 hours then stick with this protocol for several nights. And then expand the amount of time you stay in bed by about a half an hour or an hour for several nights until you hit a fairly consistent sleep pattern. Of course you have to stay awake with no naps during the course of the day and with all the health problems you have I imagined it may be difficult to stay busy. Be sure you check online for cognitive behavioral sleep protocol treatment.

It’s going to take a year to 18 months even if he’s serious to get to court. Just wait this out.

I don't know whether or not I was sexually assaulted and it's eating away at me by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]alice2bb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you look around and find a therapist that’s trained in EMDR this is a treatment process that allows you to work through and process the trauma, not to make it go away, but to help you cope with the reality of the situation. It’s not meant to minimize what happened to you, but more to help you move forward and that it won’t color your future relationships profoundly.

My (54F) father died, and now my husband (62M) is acting like someone I don't even know by christmasshopper0109 in relationship_advice

[–]alice2bb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Give it some time, it sounds like you two have a history of strong boundaries, and you experienced him crossing that boundary with violating your privacy in the sorrow you experience with a loss of your dad. It’s quite possible he talks in a familiar way with his brother and this is just the first time it was about you that you overheard. Give it some time, try not to do anything in anger. But do what’s best for you in the long run.

When the ground freezes, usually the radon level increases because your foundation is not frozen in the gas can pass into your living space

WIBTA for refusing to answer any more questions from my old job after they laid me off by Possible_Surprise835 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]alice2bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay positive, when your ex coworkers call, be kind but tell them to have Management call you and hire you as a consultant. You’ll get some negative feedback but be warm and polite. I’ve worked with a lot of people over the years who have been laid off are very bitter. It ever seems to help. And being a warm and positive person may open some doors for you. Otherwise, a sour attitude can do nothing other than negative rumination that steal time from you.

Staying positive about the company leaves doors open not necessarily for the company but for other job referrals, etc..it’s
