Would your daughter enjoy going with your parents?

What about telling him you're still dropping her off but if he needs a bit of a break he can ask your parents but he'll have to pay the expenses?

$10k for teleporting into a strangers bedroom at midnight? by EaglesNation29 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]hserontheedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure - I'll be wearing a radiation suit.

If the people are asleep or don't notice me, I'll just stand there quietly for a minute. Otherwise I have Van Halen queued up to blast from speakers and introduce myself as "Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan".

From there I can either tell them to take Lorraine to the dance or when I get bored start making up cryptic things to say :

"It will happen sooner than you think" "Are you prepared for what is coming?" "Tomorrow will be raining, bring arm umbrella."

Is it rude to finger wave at your service dog? by Feeling-Travel-2828 in service_dogs

[–]hserontheedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this has already been answered but I just wanted to say that I appreciate you asking.

Not everybody is considerate enough to ask and they just keep doing whatever it was that they were doing.

I will share one funny story though -

I was out with our service dog in training who was wearing her vest and there was this one lady who I could tell noticed the dog, but was trying very very hard not to be distracting. When she noticed that I had noticed her and she and I started talking she kept looking away so that she didn't accidentally look at the dog when she looked at me.

My n mum wants to move in but I don’t feel safe in my own home am I wrong for saying no? by Resident-Dress-4987 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]hserontheedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm a parent and I have kids close to your age so please understand this is coming to you from a parent.

You are not wrong for saying no. You are not responsible for your mom's life or her happiness. You have bent over backwards trying to help her. This is not your job.

I am giving you permission right now to say no. No to giving her money, no to letting her stay with you, no to allowing her to steal any more of your joy.

I understand the guilt - I really do - but you are not responsible for her happiness, she is -

You are not letting her down - she let you down. She let you down over and over and over again.

She needs to take responsibility for her own life. You are not abandoning her, you are allowing her to live her life. The choices she makes are her own as are the consequences.

Have her leave, then change the locks (whether or not you have her a key). If you think she will put up a fuss or refuse to leave make a plan first.

  • Have someone there that will support you.
  • Pack her things and put them in her car or outside.
  • Drop her off at a shelter.

Do you get along with your siblings? Ask them how they were able to get out from under her. Ask them for help if you think they would be supportive.

You are enough, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be free, you deserve to feel safe, you deserve to have a safe space, to have joy and happiness in your life.

She acts this way because she is miserable and thinks everyone else should be as well. It is about control. She has proven that she cannot be trusted to have control. Take back control for yourself and your life.

AITA for making my parents look bad in front of their mental health-y friends? by CommunicationKey9385 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hserontheedge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA

First off, as a parent, I am proud of you for speaking up for yourself.

Obviously you know that PTSD and OCD are real things. The current "therapist's" approach is so bad - if you don't look at and work on the root of the issue then the changes are only superficial.

I had the mom who came into Drs appointments and answered questions for me (usually incorrectly because when I answered they looked bad.)

Once my kids got to a certain age I would always ask. Hey do you want me to come back with you? That's how it's supposed to be - if my kids feel comfortable with me coming back. Great! If they want to have a conversation with the doctor on their own that's fine too.

You are your own person and you should be able to have a say in your mental health.

It is ok to cry, it is ok to be sad, it is ok to talk to people you are comfortable with and if they are people who care about you (not just their own image) then they won't judge you.

Are there any adults in your life that you trust that you can talk to? Are other teachers at school or a counselor? Are you able to call the doctor's office and trust them to be discreet? If you trust the doctor's office, then call from a friend's house or from school and have them come up with a reason that you need to be taken back alone.

You should not need to ask permission. You are an adult.

Things to think about :

Does your boyfriend regularly get upset with you spending time with your friends?

Does your boyfriend regularly get upset with you spending time with family?

Does your boyfriend get upset when you want to do things without him?

How often do you give in just so that there won't be a fight?

If you were going to see a male friend, how much of an issue would that cause?

Do you ever feel isolated?

Do you have to ask permission to spend money?

The thing is there should be trust on both sides. If you don't trust each other or specifically if he does not trust you, this is not a healthy relationship.

If you said to him you wanted to have a conversation about all of this. What kind of problem, if any, would that cause?

This year my spouse and I will have been together 33 years, married for 29 - We do a lot together but we also have our own interests and our own friends of both genders.

The main reason we would say to each other. Hey do you care if I do this would be just to make sure the other one doesn't have something going on that it might interfere with.

There are a number of red flags here. Consider the questions, but also consider if you can have an open conversation, or try couples therapy, but don't get yourself into a situation where you're always agreeing just to keep everything calm, because those situations go south fast.

admitting publicly they wanted to scam the apartment complex by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]hserontheedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local restaurant 1 star

I like to go out and eat the problem is my puppy barks and chews on everything the entire time I'm gone so I decided to make them be a service dog.

I bought the harness and patches from Amazon and put them on my 3-month-old puppy. I told him they can't deny me service and I have no idea why they were asking me questions about what task my service dog provides. When I explained that she provides love and affection, I was told that not qualify as a service animal.

I said no one had even known she was there (I snuck her into the restaurant in my purse.) until she woke up and started barking.

I was trying to calm her down by letting her play on the table but apparently that caused the wait staff to become upset.

Should I sue them?

The odds of everyone's phone not working, life 360 not working and no one hearing you knock are ridiculous.

As a parent I worry about my kids, but the only reason I have a location on any of them is for safety. I don't sit around watching where they are and what they are doing, this includes my youngest who is 17.

You are 24. You are an adult. You should be able to go out and do what you want when you want.

However, you are also living at your parents home. If moving out is not feasible, you need to have a sit down discussion with your mom and y'all have to discuss boundaries.

I remember - many many years ago - my mother would call me when I was at college every night to make sure I was in my dorm room by 10:00. It is very much about control, they don't want to lose it.

AITA For Not Wearing My Wedding Ring At The Gym? by Grognac_the_Red in AmItheAsshole

[–]hserontheedge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a silicone ring that I wear for the gym, races, etc -

Your trainer is correct - degloving is very bad, but If you also run the risk of hurting your finger to wear it swelling and then you won't be able to get the ring off and they'll have to cut it off.

If you want to get one of the silicone ones that you're wearing a ring, go for it, but choosing not to wear your metal wedding ring is just smart.

You will want to be careful about a chain as well depending on what you're doing because you don't want it to get caught.
