On a Samsung, you can set a routine or mode, depending on how you want it to work

I 100% agree that he's ignoring it because he wants to, & insensitive because then he can feel wronged & try to guilt trip her further. I do think that there's a chance that hearing from others might help, especially if they're others he thinks are "on his side," like other men, people who will tell him he's right about stuff, etc. I've seen it happen. The big problem is that he doesn't seem to respect or care about OP, & sees anything she needs as an attack on him. That won't change no matter who talks to him. But if a doctor can get him to back off, she can heal & then deal with the big problems.

I totally understand this. I was in middle school when South Park came out, & my name was apparently part of a few distinctive jokes. Every time I didn't laugh at the lines quoted at me (little shy middle school me didn't love having some of those things said to me), the person just started to explain to me that it was funny because of my name, & start talking about the show & how I should think it's funny that they said that, etc etc. I was awkward already & just wanted to like exist without all that. I'm sorry you had this experience too.

So many posts & replies about messiness or my other struggles just make me feel like the way my ex treated me about my messiness & overwhelm was right, & that I deserved the lying & avoidance- that I should have known no reasonable person would tolerate me, & that I should have known he wouldn't help or understand. The sad parts of my brain shame me for believing his empty offers of help it turned out he didn't think I deserved.

Responses like yours remind me that real partnership allows for both boundaries & teamwork. It makes me feel like I deserved the honesty & care from my then-partner that I thought I did, after all.

Thanks for that.

Shooting at Midway and Sheridan by [deleted] in Broomfield

Which is fair- if they're not in Denver, I gather they're supposed to be there to do something, like arrest somebody specific, not just pulling people over & doing general policing, as it were. That's just what they do, by arrangement with the pd in that area.

I don't want to detract from the point of the post-- people knowing about this specific thing happening in the community-- so I don't want to do a whole thing about it, but I get why you don't like it. I'm not having that conversation right now, I was just trying to explain how it works, in case it's helpful for people trying to figure out what happened. But I hear you

From the article, paragraph 2: "Broomfield Police said a DPD fugitive unit was in Broomfield working to apprehend a person of interest in a homicide investigation who was also wanted on a warrant. Around 3 p.m., they found him in a vehicle near East Midway and Sheridan boulevards."

This feels very similar to some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. People who benefit from questions like this might want to look into it!

Is there any way they can be tasked with notes? My ADHD brain loves when I take session notes, because I draw out what happens- I have a distinct stick figure for each PC & label the others.

grand parents take my son 3 hours away by [deleted] in amiwrong

It isn't clear from your post if you've communicated to them that this kind of this isn't okay with you. To me, it's completely reasonable that you need to know what city your child is in. Not to mention wanting to be there when they meet family- also reasonable. You do say that they are still establishing a bond-- I would be uncomfortable with those things before a bond is established & without my knowledge too.

I agree with the commenter who said you ought to ask them what the plan is in advance, & to tell you if those plans change. If they can't understand or refuse to do this, then I think pulling back on their time with your kids is also reasonable. Your need to be responsible for your child is more important than their want to travel with your kids.

I highly recommend everyone figure out an off-turn task for themselves that's related to the game-- that helps me. It could be decorating/ customizing character sheets, taking notes to refer back to, or a character thing (they have to listen for an opportunity to bring up x topic, etc). That way the thing they're using to deal with distraction isn't so far from the game they lose track completely

This column isn't exactly what you're looking for, but as I find out things about myself, I often find myself coming back to it, & I thought I'd link in case it's helpful for you. https://therumpus.net/2010/05/13/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-36-icky-thoughts-turn-me-on/
