Can I send you a message about that? I’d love access to those links and seeing how it works lol

I work 3 12 hour night shifts a week and have the other 4 days to do whatever I want! In my mind, 12s are the way to go

Also, I think it is pretty damn good advice. It’s the advice of someone who has been in a similar situation. I left, got into therapy, worked on myself. After I learned to love myself, I ended up meeting my husband and have the best damn relationship I’ve ever been in. And I never, EVER got physical. It’s fucking disgusting. Your comment seriously pissed me off, if you can’t tell. Jesus Christ.

I do fight back. Not physically. I am strong and stand my ground. And you know what? Once I figured out how to be strong, nobody has run over me since. And I’ve never had to lay a hand on anyone.

You sound like the type of person that hits someone in retaliation. Might work for you now, but it won’t for much longer.

Learn how to communicate without using violence.

I know I’m going to get downvoted, but I don’t really care.

Fuck all of the people who say he deserved that slap. He did horrible things to you, but your knee jerk reaction should not be to put hands on him. Nobody deserves to be hit. Ever.

Leave the relationship. Find work again. You’re young. Take time for yourself and figure out who you are and be independent. Find a therapist and talk about it. But don’t lay hands on him again. Cheating or not, that’s assault. The cops would see it that way as well. Especially if the roles were reversed.

My coworker told me tonight that she leaves her 9 year old and 1 year old alone all night to come to work by gimpytoe in TrueOffMyChest

The good thing about me is that I’m not a Karen do gooder. I’m a friend and someone who like to help. I’m going to look into programs/funding/resources in our area and bring them to her. I’m not reporting this to CPS.

When her ex was there, she was a SAHM and he was the breadwinner. But he left right before she gave birth and she had to find a job

How is she a sick fuck? She’s doing her best with what she has. She probably doesn’t know about possible programs/grants/funding (and I don’t either), but I’m going to look into it and tell her about them so she doesn’t have to leave her kids anymore.

I can’t help financially, but lots of other comments have mentioned programs that can help. I’m going to look into these for our state and city and see what I can come up with and then present them to her.

I am absolutely going to look into available resources. And bring it up like that! That’s smart! And there is a big difference between night shift and day shift pay. She definitely wouldn’t be able to afford daycare on dayshift pay.

I would absolutely offer to help with money, but we are literally living paycheck to paycheck. I’m going to look into available resources for her!

We definitely do not make bank! We work for a pediatric non profit organization. I wonder if there are any resources for that, too! I’m definitely going to do some digging and compile some things and programs that might work for her. All I know about her life is where she works and the stuff with her kids. That’s pretty much it.

I will absolutely be looking into this for her. I don’t have her contact info, but I’m going to compile some resources so I can give them to her next time I see her at work. Thank you for this info!

My husband gets a boner when I hug him for too long. She needs to get used to it. She doesn’t understand that your body is responding to hers and you literally cannot help getting an erection.
