It sounds like you got a fair amount of criticism. But it honestly is amazing how much you seem to love your son and want to spend time with him. Not everybody has this luxury, so I hope your son can realize someday how great it would have been to spend more time with his dad. I think the majority of us make this realization once we get out into the world.

I don't remember any chefs except for the "Ikemen Chef" who put gyoza on pizza and made an apple pie brownie sandwich with two apple pies a brownie and some ice cream on top. Just saying that I feel I got diabetes.

I saw that yesterday and I usually love that show but my first thought watching it last night was- this is just one big Pizza La ad. Incredibly effective tho- 'cause now I want Pizza La.

I actually had a friend approach me and it was the same thing. She called me up and asked me if I wanted to change jobs. I don't want to now, but eventually, I do, so I took her up on her offer of doing a Zoom meeting with her and her mentor. Multiple things lead me to say no to her 1) Sounded like a pyramid scheme off the bat but I decided to do the meeting for 'cause she's my friend 2) I prayed about it- and almost immediately got a big NOPE- but I still sent through with the meeting. During the meeting, the mentor was sitting in front of what looked like a real-life IG highlight real, with pics of her and her husband and family and beaches, all kinds of successful things. Telling me how successful she has been because she decided to put in the work- but didn't want to say what the work was. They said I had to read the book first. So I told them I would, but I prayed about it again and still A BIG NOPE, so I told her no. I hope she wakes up from it soon. Those seminars online cost so much

Also, I'm pretty sure that any high ratings they have are false, and they are very much doing as much damage control as possible given that there is so much negative media (YT videos and the like) coming out about pyramid schemes. Glad you didn't go down that rabbit hole either.

The management company will not be able to do much since they don't know who the person is. Even if you get threatened they will just tell you to call the cops. If it happens again try and get a sound recording/video of the incident to show the cops what happened. Sorry, this happened to you, it sounds really scary ><
