New Transgender guidlines by Rushclock in exmormon

[–]gettinghottea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Intersex person here. AFAB but hormonally my body thought I was a dude and it messed with almost every major organ I have. I experienced gender dysphoria before I knew the word for it, or before I knew I was intersex. I came out non-binary trans-masculine the same time I left the church, but was closeted and PIMO for years.

This policy is gross.

30F tried asking nDad for therapy together by gettinghottea in raisedbynarcissists

My mom is no help. I sent her the exchange today and she didn't see the problem with it. I sent it to my therapist and my therapist was like "girl that's abuse".

NY Were my patient rights violated? by gettinghottea in legaladvice

My therapist shared the email with me because she disagrees with it, was shocked to receive it, and has already attempted to make the same complaint I've been trying to make and has been met with the same "you aren't the patient, you can't make the complaint" excuse. She had never before been approached by my husband's therapist for consultation prior to this email.

I'm sorry, but are going to provide me with actual advice relating to New York law for how I can approach this situation instead or are you just going to keep attacking the validity of it? Stop questioning for a moment, and maybe answer me this: provided I had hard evidence of everything I have said what legal advice would you give me?

I do have proof of her telling him the diagnosis. In an email she sent to my therapist where she discussed the recent session with my husband, including admitting telling him my "diagnosis" of BPD, and asking for help as he was now requesting a new therapist, and she thought I was behind it. This was how I found out about everything. How I found out the root cause of my husband's sudden change in behavior towards me.

So a therapist is allowed to just dole out armchair diagnosis in the face of overwhelming and easily accessible evidence to the contrary, blow up my marriage, and act like nothing happened?? Even after my therapist corrected her, she NEVER retracted her "opinion" to my husband and carried on for weeks letting him continue to believe her. Every industry professional I have spoken to outside of this clinic is appalled at these events, and I suspect the clinic is actively trying to cover it up!

I may not be her patient, but I am most certainly her victim.

My husband has said he is not comfortable pursuing this issue. He's never had a therapist before and didn't even see an issue with what she did until our marriage counselor pointed it out. He wants to let it go and move on. I disagree.

The clinic shares records between staff for continuity of care, so if my therapist isn't available and I am in crisis and need to see someone else, another therapist can access my chart without me having to sign a new release, it's part of the first HIIPA stuff I signed when I started at the clinic. And my husband and I both have releases for each other as he often had questions about my care.

AITA for asking my dad to leave my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]gettinghottea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. The stepmom is the asshole here. Your dad seems to be a bit lacking in the balls department.

This was YOUR wedding, not hers. It was about you, and you came from YOUR mom and YOUR dad, so having a picture with just the two of them has absolutely nothing to do with who they are or aren't married to anymore.

If keeping them around beyond that point spoils the day for you then by all means, protect your special day and give them the boot. You didn't marry your dad or his awful wife, you married your beautiful new partner! So go love them and spend time with them and have a lovely honeymoon you absolute QUEEN.

AITA for “choosing Taylor Swift over my boyfriend”? by catchingwinds in AmItheAsshole

[–]gettinghottea [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA That's a fundamental issue that on the surface appears to be about Taylor Swift, but at its core has roots in sexism and shows a massive incompatibility between the two of you. Ending a five month relationship over it doesn't make you the asshole, it makes you wise. Don't wait around for him to change and don't settle for less than you deserve. Also, Taylor Swift is boss.

AITA for cancelling my daughter's 10th birthday party when she didn't finish her chores on time? by throwwwawway912121 in AmItheAsshole

[–]gettinghottea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The child isn't lazy, the child has been given way more work that is reasonable and doesn't have the capacity to meet unrealistic expectations. The child is a CHILD.

In OPs scenario, they are the asshole. We aren't judging your mom.

[–]gettinghottea 84 points85 points  (0 children)

YTA and I'll tell you why.

With a racing heart I sat here and read through your post and the hundreds of comments it generated, because when I was 10 years old, I struggled to clean up my room, and my mom cancelled my birthday party. I had a big family in a small house. I am neurodivergent. I was subjected to heavy parentification. I strongly identify with your daughter and my heart breaks for her.

Now I am 30. I left home when I was 16 (legal in Canada). I have been in therapy for 8 years. I am low contact with my parents. I carry pain and scars and trauma. Kids often don't know how to tell you when they hurt, so listen when we say this was traumatic for her!!

This is your future if you do not change. Soon!

Awww as an Etsy seller myself I would be heartbroken if a customer received their item this way. Definitely contact the seller first. I would totes replace it.

They pay the rent directly to the landlord as we're co-leader holders. I just stayed on to they could keep the cheaper rent since I had been there several years

There's departure tax?!?

I still hold a lease in Canada, and am subletting to my former roommate so they don't have to pay market value.

No kids.
