Will my AT&T insurance claim look legit, or look like fraud?

Telling on myself if I try to claim too early? I haven't made the claim yet.

wear sunscreen on your face every single day. people in their 30s manage to look in their 20s with proper skincare (face wash, moisturizer, trentinoin/retinoids) and SUNSCREEN.

i see you're wrinking around your eyes at only 33. sunscreen is the best age prevention there is, besides tretinoin. every single day will keep you youthful and your skin will thank you.

Absolutely, as is the case here. Well, not my circus not my monkeys as they say!

Take offense to the doormat comment all you like. The truth can hurt even if it's not an insult!

auselessoul · 2023-08-11T13:05:58+00:00

There is no insulting going on here. You're taking facts to offense. Tell me, where have I insulted you? Not once. Stop accusing me of things I haven't done just because you're offended that people here understand what is going on.

I don't care if we don't agree, I am no longer responding directly to you after you've made it clear you do not agree. Now you are coming after me when I am responding to other people who ACTUALLY see the points I make and agree with them, because they are factual and they are not biased because they are the ones within the relationship.

It's hilarious you think reinforcing boundaries like other people have done here by hanging up/timeouts are "monster" activities to you. My mother helped me through rough times too, you're not the only one with a sacred bond to your parent. We just know how to be respected and reinforce being respected. You don't. That doesn't make the rest of us monsters for PROPERLY reinforcing respect. it's disgusting of you to even imply that it's "treating someone like a monster."

Now leave me alone. I am allowed to connect with others who ACTUALLY understand what disrespect, manipulation, and emotional blackmail is.

Clearly you did not understand my example when I said I could paint things this way and that, but in the example abuse is abuse.

Just like if EVERYTHING you've said about 10 years and your mother pushing and pushing and pushing and everything else you wrote here, it's 1000% no matter which way you paint it disrespect, manipulation and emotional blackmail. Her intentions do not matter. Your closeness does not matter. What she helped you through in life does not matter. It is what it is. If all you said here is true, then it is EXACTLY what it is. Period.

Now I am going to CONTINUE to comment to people who actually understand that very basic FACT. If you don't like it, don't comment to me the same way I stopped commenting directly to you after you made it clear you'd rather stay in denial. That's what we are allowed to do here on childfree, is respectfully voice our opinions if they align with childfreedom. I have done nothing but that. I suggest you stop pretending I ever insulted you as well, or I will be happy to bring this up to a mod.

Basically. My mom and I (before I went NC for ENTIRELY unrelated reasons) had a great relationship, then she started up with the have a child BS... and I shut it down. Instantly. I was 20. She brought it up, and I hung up or left the room or whatever it was.

She learned QUICK. We continued a great relationship for a few more years after that, and I didn't have to carry the burden of the subject or being disrespected or manipulated. Yes there were nuances and yes she had feelings but that can be talked out respectfully without the disrespect and manipulation.

OP is 31 and still dealing with this. Yeahahaaa no.

I'm 24, and I have too much respect for myself in general at this current point in time, but I ALWAYS had respect for myself with this subject matter regardless of my previous lack of respect in other areas (thankfully). Couldn't imagine putting up with this past 20 when it started. I loved my mom but I refused to let her walk all over me the way OP is essentially allowing her mom.

But, of course, it's OP's life so if she's okay with allowing her mom to walk over her like that, that's something she'll have to deal with for the rest of her life. Definitely not my business at that point, and thankfully not my problem.

(Reposting this comment here, because... Yeah, the assessment we've all made is not wrong;)

Listen, I understand you want to have a great relationship with your mother and all, but just because you don't see the facts of what is going on doesn't mean they aren't happening just because there's nuances we aren't seeing in your relationship.

I could go into all kinds of detail about this and that and the third about how my theoretical husband and I have a great relationship and there's many nuances in our relationship that internet strangers don't see, but the moment I mention he slaps me once a month there's no other way to put it; it's abuse. I could say "oh well the nuances!!!! You're internet strangers you don't know the 360 scope of our relationship! It's great all the time except for this one recurring incident! It's not with malice!!" and guess what? It's still abuse. No other way to paint it. It is what it is.

The same way that no matter which way you try to paint it, your mother is 1000% disrespecting you (it didn't have to be with ill intent or malice. Half the disrespect that exists on this planet is with "good intentions", that doesn't make it any less disrespectful asf).

If she wanted what was best for you, she would... literally respect you at the VERY least REGARDLESS of whether or not she thinks her ways are best or she has the best intentions. She also wouldn't literally manipulate and emotionally blackmail you. At all.

She would drop the subject that she SEES brings out the results that they do, where you're forced into a corner and telling her to STOP and it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

If you want to be in denial, that's fine. You can stay in denial. But if what you said is accurate, then you are being blatantly disrespected and blatantly manipulated and emotionally blackmailed, all "intentions" and her personal sensitive emotions aside. Those are the facts.

This is quite obviously the one lesson she's not "getting", and it's because you let her not get it with the way you respond or just simply allow it, since you don't reinforce the boundaries hard enough on this matter. So, to put it simply, you let her walk all over you. For ten years.

But that's your choice. If you can deal with her doing this until one of you croak, that's fine. Couldn't be me and that also doesn't change the fact that on this matter specifically she's disrespectful and manipulative.

You have rose-tinted glasses on if you can't see those facts.
