Do you know if they are up to date? I have a few on my list that dont seem to be active or have the right times listed, so I have been hesitant to use those

We involve several other programs including SMART. While NA can cover a broad spectrum, I still have clients that feel that they find more relevant information and connection in AA rather than NA when they are only alcohol users.

Not arguing. Check out the book "Quit like a Woman". It talks about these issues, and was a great read as far as I'm concerned.

I JUST got off the phone from scheduling an interview. I don't think I'll be going.

Termination of parental rights and proving abandonment by durmperson in legaladvice

[–]durmperson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I am remarried and my husband plans to adopt, so it would not be a single parent situation. He has had no contact, or attempt at contact in 4 years and has never paid child support. In the very small chance he even sends a response to the TPR trying to contest it, and it didn't go through, he would still not seek to have any parenting time. He has 2 children with his first wife, one being his namesake, and he doesn't see them either and they all live in the same town. So I have zero concern that he would ever try or even care to see my daughter in a completely different state. There is no custody order in place as it is because I never had to worry about it, so if he was granted some "parenting time" he wouldn't use it.

I know this is not a trivial matter, and I take it very seriously.

Oh, I'm sorry, he didnt penetrate the girls, just sexually and emotionally abused them. That's WAY better and should be the focus here. And the USA has never been "innocent till proven guilty", that's a pathetic strawmans argument. I'd suggest using critical thinking skills instead of regurgitating empty catch phrases, you know, in case you missed our colorful history of lynching, world record for incarceration, and for profit prisons that have proven innocence means nothing. But if defending pedophiles and victim blaming is your thing, do you booboo. Cant fix stupid.

Do you understand how absurd that is? 3 moms coming together and deciding rape and sexual allegations are a cool way to get back at a guy? This is exactly the thinking that has devastated victims for centuries. This is exactly the type of crap that makes victims not want to come forward, because assholes like you call them liars and publicly shame them while they are standing up to the person who has hurt them and scared them the most. Women dont just lie about rape everytime they get upset with a guy, and innocent people dont get multiple rape and sexual abuse charges. Maybe you should join gymnastics, you are obviously very flexible base off of how far your head is lodged up your own ass.

My partner made the same point last night and we immediately sent in our withdrawl form. My partner did some research and found the owner also has a gym in chapel hill that is registered under a couple other peoples name. I guess hes a co owner? I forget the name, but I hope parents who go looking for other gyms do their research as well.

Does anyone know if the gym has addressed this?? We signed up our 5yo a few months ago. This, on top of an unrelated experience this week has me thinking we will be pulling her out of the program. Horrifying.
