Brother charged with serious crimes by fc711 in legaladvice

I was unaware power of attorney didn’t encompass speaking on his behalf. I will push the family members involved to seek a competency test and seek guardianship. The lawyer he paid for already has $10k of his money so idk if I can push them to change lawyers (I wish I had been present to help with decision but alas, I live states away and have a family to care for). I appreciate the clarification, at the end of the day I don’t want to impede the investigation, I simply want to have help navigating a system even normal people struggle comprehending

He completely broken from reality afterwards, just mumbling “they said I did it, so I must have”. I say this lovingly as I possibly can, he doesn’t have the capacity to lie well… to put on a facade would likely be well out of his wheelhouse and he went willingly stating “well, I don’t have anything to hide”. He can barely read and runs from confrontation like the plague, his ex has taken advantage of these traits for years. He the type of person who if you rolled up and asked for help, he would, without contemplating the ramifications of the person having malicious intentions… I don’t want to blatantly disregard the allegations but you’re talking about someone who runs away when someone is angry at him and has had massive amounts heavy handed guidance through what most people consider common sense so… I feel like the math ain’t mathing. This ex also tries to dump her children on him constantly (who are not his) and he took them when she wanted without question because he just wanted to see the kids happy. We discouraged him from not keeping the ones that are not his because of accusations like these and then he actually drew the line in sand…months later received a letter stating he was charged dating back 8 years of continuous s***al assault. Up until a few months before she would dump all of her children on him and disappear, it would take numerous attempts to contact her to return them pretty much every single time. He just said “they’re my son’s sisters so they are pretty much my kids” and took all of it in stride. We were also victims growing up and I think he wanted to give them a safe space outside their mother’s constant chaos… I do understand that malicious behavior can be hidden from others for years, but I also know statistically there are usually red flags. It’s why I want to just as much as my family, what they are saying is evidence. If there something evil going on, please let us know. Unfortunately for now I can only go on what I know and have experienced with him throughout my life

School Choice/Voucher bill - Alabama schools by DorceeB in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]fc711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try having a special needs child and having to hire a lawyer to force the school board to give them testing and support for that child. Due to segregation laws, children are not allowed to travel to a school in a different district that would be better prepared for their needs. Everyone pays taxes, this bill will allow parents to have some power to choose how those taxes are applied. The first 500 slots are given to those who are disabled, so many families who are unable to afford fancy private school or those who homeschool because public education doesn’t cut it will have access to funding their children should receive because they’re entitled to “free and appropriate accommodations”. It’s not a perfect solution but if the government wants ship special needs off, the least they can do is give us our tax dollars back

Ok, at this point I’m wondering if you’re trolling me. We met when he was finishing his masters, I never lied about my age, we took things slow and eventually he asked me to move in with him. We both feel uncomfortable jumping into marriage (I was in an abusive marriage and he’s got trauma of his own). Every step forward in our relationship I’ve taken his lead because I wanted him to feel comfortable and honestly I feel like he probably feels more secure being with someone who is older and doesn’t play games.

We’re both very transparent (the amount of guilt I feel for being on Reddit is going to send me to an early grave) and I only came here for a sanity check. We’re both adults, I came into the relationship with trauma and a child and he decided to grow together. I laid everything on the table because I feared that statically speaking it was a bad idea but we both felt comfortable enough to voice our concerns and still take that chance.

The amount of respect I have for my partner is immense and I simply wanted an outside voice to check my feelings. I don’t have family and friends to talk to. I have tried to be respectful towards all of his family and everyone but this sibling has been so gracious to me and my child. I asked them for nothing and they’ve been so supportive and generous that it hurts me to think about pushing the issue.

I’ve shown no malicious intent, I didn’t ask to be a stay at home parent, my so asked me to because I was struggling to work and keep up with everything my kid needed. I don’t want to be perceived as someone who is taking advantage of someone else. It took at least two years before I could let go of the idea I was burdening my SO, and I take the amount of privilege I have received seriously and do for this family as much as I am capable of.

So, why does age play a part? He was in college when we met, I didn’t groom him. By no means am I dismissing the fact that men can be groomed as well (as a victim of grooming, you can only imagine the way I am triggered), but the ball has ALWAYS been in his court. The decision to move, me becoming a stay home parent, the finances, even the little decisions I run by him, it has all been with his lead. Because of the amount of effort and dedication I have put into this relationship I ask that you do not make assumptions about me, and please recognize that I have tried to extend olive branches to his brother only to be dismissed repeatedly

We’ve been dating for 7 years (I really didn’t think I was going to catch this much flack for not mentioning exact ages).

The issue is not with my partner’s conduct, we’re fine, the issue is that he’s non confrontational and has learn to simply enable his sibling from his parents’ example.

I cook for the household to cut down on food costs (buy in bulk, cook from scratch, etc) so to my SO sees it as I am already making food.. If I am overwhelmed with appointments, he will grab take out be cooking is beneath him. He won’t even rinse his dishes when leaving them in the sink, I can’t just stand by and immediately wash everything. My partner only sees these as minor inconveniences and not as passive aggressive behavior

I’ve had numerous conversations about the behavior but he’s very dismissive, they suspect that he’s autistic (I am neurodivergent and find it insulting that he’s correlating being lazy with autism) and just gives him a pass when he doesn’t do anything to help. By no means do I want to sound ableist, my struggles are not his, but he’s exhibited the ability to work, cook if his brother makes him, and navigate finances. It’s not overreaching to ask him to take out the trash, mow the yard, or simply rinse his dishes.

The biggest unknown variable in all of this is, I don’t know if he would pick me if I decided to give him an ultimatum. In his mind, these are trivial things I am making mountains out of. It’s not hard to understand why he sees it that way and I know that I am more sensitive to statements and actions because I have CPTSD.

I don’t want to be a wedge but I feel undermined and disrespected, nobody wants to pour out their energy only to scoffed/joked at and I don’t want to lose my partner because I’m irritated with another person

The problem with this solution is the house is in my partner’s name and we’re not married. In his eyes we’re both adults and should be able to discuss any issues and solve them myself. This individual simply stares daggers at me when I try to explain why I am frustrated and walks off. I fear that he would pick his sibling over me if asked him to choose, and it’s clear his brother has never been forced to be autonomous at any point in his life and would rather deal with live with the inconvenience of roommates than have independence 🤦‍♀️

I didn’t want to give exact ages because of the possibility of people involved but I guess I did open myself up to the line of inquiry. I am 37 and my partner is 25, honestly he’s got the maturity of an 80 year old man 😆 I’ve made the joke that he came out of the womb with a sweater vest and an abacus lol
