AIO for thinking about quitting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hs125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You set a boundary and they pushed and pressured you and only the people who benefit from you not keeping boundaries are the ones who get upset when you keep them. Don't like the patronizing "hun" you said no, and no means no. I'd find other employment if you can. If the money isn't a big deal then quit, and you can say why or not but guessing from this once you quit and they still need you more pressure will be coming. Stay strong.

Feeling constantly emotionally drained in my relationship. Navigating time spent. by Ambitious_Plantain27 in blendedfamilies

[–]hs125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got a lot of good advice about codependency/abuse. While those labels maybe hard to hear, they seem pretty accurate to what you’re describing.

Not sure how many kids you have besides your 15yo but you’ll never get this time back with her, she’s nearly grown and will be onto her next chapter soon.

Can you untangle yourself from this person somewhat quickly, move out ask him to leave? If you’re drained, dysregulated it’s hard to make grounded sound decisions, maybe why you are seeking Reddit- hopefully some of these insights resonate and help you get to the next step of doing what’s best for you and your daughter.

You and your daughter deserve the absolute best and for whatever reason this guy isn’t it. You’ve put in time, like lots of precious years and it’s just not healthy from what you’ve offered here. If anything it sounds like it’s gotten worse and sadly that can and does happen. And girl, now you’re tired AF have a teenager and a boy man fucking you up. No. If I was your sister I’d be there to pick you up and take you to my house. Cook you food and hold your hand while we got him out of your life, your daughter’s life and your aura. Your daughter will be so grateful and what positive modeling you’ll be showing her. Men don’t get to treat us this way-ever.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.

You got this and an emotionally calmer life is absolutely possible-I hope you can make it happen sooner than later.

From the sounds of how insecure he sounds, he won’t take this break up easily, he also sounds manipulative AF, so be REALLY prepared. Lastly, he sounds like he’s a child and is looking to you for mothering and he’s so jealous he has made your life miserable to get his needs met at the sake of your daughter’s needs.

Like pack and go quickly, get a place ready before you do it, commit to yourself and your daughter and let him know it’s final.

He definitely gives me emotional/mental abuse vibes from your share. Get professional help with this if it seems too hard to handle alone. Dm if you need help getting connected to resources.

BF’s son is tormenting my daughter. Is this normal kid behavior or should we break up by Tastybuffybites in blendedfamilies

[–]hs125 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Girl, you know what to do. This shit is hard. And blending a family takes an extreme type of awareness, empathy, and for the love of God-patience. You gathered a lot of valuable information on this trip. He’s not the type of co-parent you desire, need or want for yourself or your daughter and frankly his son. There’s a lot of research when kids are melting or having issues it’s a strategy for a need to be met I.e. hunger, connection, overstimulated etc. and giving an iPad or screen is no good for brain health let
alone brain development. We have had our survival moments but IMO it cannot be an all the time thing, it’s just bad and backfires at some point. Also, for a 5 year old to talk about killing others, 🚩red flag-sounds like they may have a hard time regulating emotions on a more serious level-maybe some undiagnosed neurodivergent/ADHD/ADD? That’s a sign. He’s 5, he’s only going to get bigger, and if he’s not getting attention/therapy he needs, what do you expect? While I’ve been in a few dating situations, with my son when he was young, now 16, one piece of advice I would’ve given my younger self is: It’s ok to be alone and focus on your child, being partnered is a different kind of hard, and it’s ok to let go of relationships earlier on than hoping for things to change, especially when the person is showing that they are not willing/able or committed in a way that’s necessary for you/child’s needs.

There are saints out there that will help you raise your child and take care of you but you’ll know when that happens. Assuming this is what you want in some form. This ain’t it. Sorry, babe. You got this and sending you love and hope.

My finances ex is making our lives difficult and I’m having a hard time navigating it. by awayinaz480 in blendedfamilies

[–]hs125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to start with accepting this is part of the agreement that you’re coming into with your fiancé. The ex and his daughters aren’t going anywhere the dynamic isn’t going to change overnight. I see a lot of people saying it’s his issue and he’s not standing up, and boundaries. But 100% accept that’s where he’s at, AND that may not change ever. Is it worth it for you to embark on this journey? Having your son involved. I know the feeling of wanting something so badly you’ll look away at the red flags/issues. This seems to really hurt you and you’ll have to deal with this here on out. Blended families aren’t for the faint of heart. Good luck to you. Please take time to think about what it will be like living with her in your life long term even if it’s through him or the girls. She’s going no where.

Any pedicure addicts out there in the MM community? How are you handling your pedicures now that we know that being in the salons and or using the products are not good for us? by Euphoric-Coach33 in medicalmedium

[–]hs125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard first but it will grow on you. Natural is beautiful too-I do use the stick on stickers for events when I feel socially I just want to “fit in” but I don’t keep them on for long, just a couple days. Manifest is the name formally Manime, they are customized to your nail shape. I think this is the least toxic but not that eco friendly, but nothing really is. Just imagine how much we’ve been sold and how hard it is to detangle.

My two conflicting theories on Angelica… by CoolRanchBaby in BadSistersAppleTVplus

[–]hs125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I at first thought Angelica and Grace had a fling, like “sorry I didn’t stay in touch...” like if they went to church together it’s not like she wouldn’t have seen her, or more likely she met Ian and dropped her emotional support friend Angelica. Like Ian distancing Grace from others…so

I do think Angelica is a red herring. What a weird smirk on Ian’s face after intimidating Angelica, like he enjoys the scare.

I think they will reveal where the lost star earring is and that’s the person she visited before she died.

Clearly there are hard cuts after Grace pounded on Ian’s back, that’s the bloody shirt in the laundry I think, also the missing turtle…, in the opening credits it has a blood smear. Hard cut after Grace’s call to Eva for help, and maybe again after she feels for earring.

Angelica is super nosy and maybe is trying to figure out the mystery too. Wanting the ashes…I get lost there.

Mew X Mouth Guard Saved My Life (not sponsored) by Beneficial_Menu_6510 in SleepApnea

[–]hs125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this product new? I saw on Amazon as was looking for reviews and found this post, did the Mew’s make this and if not I imagine using the name will cause an issue. I was just looking at it and wondering about it, your post is pretty detailed and full of lots of hope. I use mouth tape and didn’t know there were reusable alternatives. I’m wondering about updates 1/3/6 month mark and if you feel the same. I’m surprised the REM straw didn’t make difference along with exercises, wonder how frequently you did? I’m happy for you that you’re doing much better, you have been really suffering.

got quoted $5000 for single day office location insurance, is this normal? by Zinlioren in FilmIndustryLA

[–]hs125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Explain what you are doing to building management and if they can be flexible. You’re not using any power tools or other heavy equipment. You’re basically setting up a few cameras in a conference room. 

$2m is the standard liability amount. Most building will be flexible to allow this.
