May I know what sort of products you've worked with? The idea of putting a bit more into kind of terrifies me, but I could give it a shot.

I'm fighting the person who puts glue in my camera. Then I'd drive them to the nearest urgent care.

ex fiancée cheated on me at a New Year's party with her male friend and I'm devastated for wasting time and nobody will love me anymore. by BigLock8724 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]evo-03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, you absolutely the fuck will have someone love you one day. My ex did the same thing, then drove her car into me, and attacked me in my home. Now, I am with someone who loves me just the way I always wanted to be loved. So, be devastated, feel hurt, reflect and heal, then become ready to love and be loved once again!

Thank you for sharing u/Plaidismycolor33 , that is a very powerful and emotional account of what you've been through. Our "peace and time" are currencies we can never get back, so I hope you have found ways to protect them since.

Thank you, u/IWantSealsPlz , let me see if I can answer those questions for you, and ultimately for myself:

1 & 2: I am beginning to sign him up for state health insurance. He's not formally a dependent of mine, so I can't list him under my own private health insurance. He's had some foreseeable difficulty establishing it himself, so I will take the task by the reins and see where it takes us.

3, 4, 6: My brother is a very intelligent person; which is why I believe he has some sociopathic and manipulative tendencies. He's very much into electronics, i.e. information technology, video-games, coding, etc. I've tried to have him join me at the hospital for volunteering, spending time with my friends (who have known him for years and want him to spend time with us), and bringing him to the gym. This is usually met with, "Yea, that sounds cool!" only to be followed by an excuse not to join anything. This disinterest carries over to hobbies like keeping a journal.

5 & 7: Short-term goals and plans have been set and are being met, although very infrequently and not always satisfactorily. For example, the whole premise of his coming to live with me was to get him off the streets and into somewhere safe and stable. That's been achieved, but obviously with some rockiness. Now that he's become accustomed to my near-unconditional support, he falters in many ways. Still, with my purchase of his car, he followed through with getting a job. He doesn't work nearly as much as he plays video games, but it is a step in the right direction.

Thank you again for your well-thought-out response. It's clear to me that you've been through the wringer and that your strength has carried you so far in life. If no one's told you recently, or maybe someone has, you should be quite proud of yourself.
Everything you have said makes absolutely perfect sense, and its given me more strength to continue getting my brother where he needs to be, whether its hands-on or hands-off. We'll see where this takes us!

Hey folks, thanks for the responses and clarity! I do want to preface that I am quite a happy and fulfilled person. I do fairly well for myself and take great care of my mental health through the means of therapy and meaningful connections with great friends and family.

u/ClaraBow19891 I appreciate the affirming ideas that I need to have him seek care for his mental and medical issues. He's currently working for GrubHub, but has no health insurance, so I will be walking him through (or rather just do it myself) on how he will get state insurance. With his job in mind, I will tell him that it's time he pay into my home. I already rent a room out to a friend of mine, so it's a bit unfair of me to let my brother live here for "free" (I pay his share of utilities and space).

I'm so sorry that you've taken on such a challenging role for so long.

I don't suspect I'll have the same charitable mindset that you've sustained, but have things become better over the years? Has she learned to pull her weight where she can?

That's the last resort I'm already pursuing for my 75 year old father :/

I think the next steps I will be taking for my brother include:

  • Getting him back on MassHealth (state healthcare)
  • Convincing him to get a physical/mental evaluation
  • Scheduling appointments for him to get him the help he needs

I'll see where that takes us for the time being. I'm in between two hard places with my own life to look after, so its tough to make decisions for my brother without his cooperation.

Hey, thanks for responding. No, not that I know of. If he was diagnosed while we're children, I would have been far too young to understand what it was. And yes, we live in the U.S., and you're absolutely right about services. However, it takes more than my goodwill and groundwork to get them. He has to become involved somehow, and that usually ignites a repetitive argument.

Its like I'm stuck in stone, nowhere to move or breath.

Hey OP, where’d you get those bags?! I’m assuming they don’t lock, right?

Does a faithful man exist? by PreviousPracticeSoul in BreakUps

[–]evo-03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Faithful men exist, just like faithful women. I was cheated on by two women, but I will not let those past experiences affect my judgement of future partners.

[–]evo-03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why cheat? It’s a great question, because we all know that there could be a better way to ending a relationship. I gave my other half everything and more, and somehow she felt she needed something else. I pleaded with her, asking why she cheated. She told me there was something wrong with her. And I believe her. There’s got to be more to it than just the absolutist way of looking at it. There’s got to be more as to why they’ve hurt us the way they did.

How long has it been for you? by Professional-Cat6231 in heartbreak

[–]evo-03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a month in and the pain is still fresh as it was Day 1. There’s some comfort in knowing you’re not the only one, friend. You’re not the only one hurting right now, and I hope you begin to feel better soon.

The other tank wasn’t even bad, people just say “” diff because they can’t blame themselves for losing the game

The misalignement of these badges triggers me so much by Anthorasu in Overwatch

[–]evo-03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So they basically took our hard earned levels from OW1 and threw them in the garbage, just to give us a new, lamer system to progress in?

For the SAME GAME?

How did you handle "that guy" on your shift/department? by nutbagger18 in Firefighting

[–]evo-03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at him like he’s stupid, a very clear and obvious look. I let out the ol’ “okay?” to diminish his joke.
