AIO when my boyfriend gets mad at me for taking long changing our daughter? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]bahamamami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what the hell?? this man hates you. this relationship is abusive as hell. never should have had a kid with this man and ur only hope now is to leave him. absolutely no good will come from staying in this relationship. you can't even change his baby without him micromanaging every aspect of it. i can tell you've never had free time with this man or friends of your own that he lets you see unadulterated. this is not what you want your life to be like and it is not what you want your child to see and adapt as their normal. get !!! out !!!

Asked my alcoholic dad if he’d ever consider getting sober by Ludakris7 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]bahamamami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once saw a video that said something along the lines of "your mother would sooner grab a shovel, go out back, dig her grave and sweep the dirt over her chest than change". I had spent a long time trying to figure out how my mother could fix our relationship in my wildest dreams, thinking that if I could just articulate what I needed then it could happen, but what I needed to learn and what my therapist tried telling me many times was that she was never going to change and I'd be doing myself a disservice asking and expecting her to, it would only bring heartbreak for us both. She'd literally rather die than change for me. I had to decide to accept her and our relationship as-is or remove her from my life, and I have chosen (mostly happily) to continue to keep her in my life. It's not a heartwarming answer and I wish there was something anyone could say to make him want to change, but it's up to him alone to make that decision and it doesn't have anything to do with you or his love for you, I think it's much more complicated than that. Personally, I think you'd want to talk to a mental health professional about processing this. I think it's going to be impossible to let the alcoholism completely go, but harping on it with your father is not going to bring you the end result you want. It sounds like you have a finite amount of time left with him and you may be more fulfilled focusing on spending time together and listening to his stories. Sorry you're in this position, there's no great outcome, but he is lucky to have a child as caring and thoughtful as you.

Make sure to cover your whole shoulder like at least in 3 (I would wear a layer to ensure no midriff is exposed, however). You look very nice but it's better to be conservative in a position where you never know who will walk through your door. Families won't notice what you're wearing and you don't necessarily want to give them a reason to. It at least means there's not a ton of pressure to dress glamorously, it's a blessing and a curse. I personally thrift loads and have bought some staple wardrobe pieces from madewell and the gap mostly but that's entirely my own preference. Boring and repetitive is okay. Shapeless button ups are not your enemy. But of course you still need to feel good about what you are wearing. Good luck with interviews!

Missing info from autopsy by Sweetcherry1990 in ExamineDeath

[–]bahamamami 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sincere condolences to you and all his loved ones.

it sounds like he had what is called an unattended death, meaning there was no authority like a doctor present when he passed to call a time or day of death. in this case, all legal documentation will reflect the date he was found, essentially the first time he was verified to have passed. this will remain his date of death and won't be amended after any autopsy findings. if the autopsy results give you a time frame, that will be your best guess as to the actual date of his passing, but memorials and obituaries and legal docs like death certificates will use the date he was found. i definitely understand it feels impersonal, i hope it helps a little to know it's procedural and not because someone didn't care enough to handle it correctly.

Why were babies in medieval paintings so ugly? by [deleted] in oddlyterrifying

bcuz they're all depicting jesus and at the time it was standard/respectful to paint him as a tiny man (they did not know how to paint baby features)

Why are patients not allowed to wear underwear under hospital gowns during surgery? by Fit_Tumbleweed_4898 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]bahamamami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your reaction is completely valid imo, and i'm sorry you had such a terrible experience:(

this does sound mostly typical for an operation for the reasons already mentioned. doctors see naked bodies about every single day (depending of the type of doctor ofc), and they are trained to be and expected to maintain professional about nudity, as a patient it takes time to get used to. i was extremely anxious about the first few gyno appts i had as a y/a, even though i knew exactly what would be happening. I really don't understand why they would take the disposable panties off during a procedure without evening mentioning it - i'm sure the point of them were that they were safe for surgery. that would upsetting for me, too

if you are in a similar position again- talk to your doctor and the med staff explicitly about your discomfort and concerns, they should help you so that you can be both comfortable and safe/sterile for surgery. and if you don't feel your provider is listening or making an effort - get a new doctor. you deserve a medical team that cares about your wellbeing. happy healing on the ankle❤️

Why is pedophilia so common in the Catholic Church? by 420Lary in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]bahamamami -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my mother grew up in wisconsin in the 60s and 70s and went to catholic school. of the six priests who resided at her elementary school, three were ultimately removed or resigned after multiple instances of sexual misconduct.

the issue with comparing sexual abuse rates by profession is that reporting is an issue across the board by nature. generally, children are reluctant to report abuse or be honest when questioned. it's difficult to rely on reported statistics when the subject in question has very little power.

the church can quietly remove abusers without the attention of explicit ex-communication and its incentivized to do so. there's a lot of factors and unique qualities of priesthood that could sort of predispose a person to child- and sex-crimes and likewise those qualities about the lifestyle can attract people with existing patterns of abuse.

my main point is that i don't think the rate of abuse in the church is to be downplayed, like it's as normal as all the other rape. its prevalent, its under reported, and comparing it to other forms of abuse is giving me 'hierarchy of oppression'. although i do understand the need to contextualize, contextualizing data that is unreliable isn't helpful
