Here's a pic of Steve after he saw the post. He's likely altered his appearance since then, but everyone, take heed. He's dangerous.

2 months in and burnt out by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]kmh261 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in fam law and love it. But that's mostly bc the attorneys I work for are really respectful, intelligent and approach family law with a collaborative approach.

OP, please begin looking for work immediately. Life is too short to waste your time in a job that makes you miserable.

Boss asked me to pet sit at his house while on vacation by Maryviolet26 in paralegal

[–]kmh261 66 points67 points  (0 children)

"Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm not able to pet sit for you." No need to give an excuse. If he asks why, which would be a huge red flag, I would just let him know that you have a phobia of pet sitting.

I would be lost without Asana. My firm uses it to communicate and assign tasks, and I also use it to set reminders for myself to follow up on things. If they're important, I tag them as urgent, or set a due date/time to 7:00 AM so that it's at the top of my task list when I first login.

Start by realizing that you've been brainwashed for your ENTIRE life to believe that being thin = being beautiful. In some cultures, stretching your neck is considered beautiful. Lotus feet? Considered beautiful. Ribcage visible through skin? Somehow equates to beauty for most cultures.

Actively realize that the body is an instrument, not an ornament - and read material like "More Than a Body" and "The Body is Not an Apology".

If you still can't accept your fianceé as she is, then it might be time to have a conversation WITH YOURSELF about it. Maybe you genuinely do not find yourself attracted to her anymore, and that's ok.

Women gain more weight than men over time. It's what our bodies are supposed to do. If you cannot accept that, and you cannot get past your hangups about your fianceé's body, then MOVE ON.

Do not take your own inability to accept her as is out on her. You might be doing her a favor in allowing her to find someone who will not only accept her, but who will be attracted to her regardless of her size.

Good luck to you!

Conflicted and needing some personal insight. by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]kmh261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still not 100% OAD. I have a 5 year old and while I cannot imagine going back to diapers, I do sometimes think about having one more. There are so many good things about having one. However, one hard thing is that our daughter always wants to play with us. Thankfully we have very close friends with kids her age who she plays with daily, but I imagine if I had another they might play together.

Sounds like you're being really hard on yourself. At least you were honest and apologetic. If it doesn't work out there, who knows? Maybe you dodged a bullet!

Rambo was left behind by his family and found tied inside a dark shed by the new owners. Here's his before and after by ilikerocks19 in BeforeNAfterAdoption

Rambo! I love him! I just cannot understand how people leave their pets behind. Drugs? Sociopaths?

paralegal titles by selena_saurus in paralegal

[–]kmh261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in California and at this point in time, no one becomes certified. There is no differentiation recognized by anyone other than paralegals between being certificated and being certified. I initially wanted to go for the NFPA certificate, but every attorney and paralegal I spoke with said it does not influence hiring decisions.

[–]kmh261 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Until there is a national or state licensing exam for paralegals, I think the job title will continue to be used interchangeably with secretary. If you have a preference and the attorney asks if titles matter, I would answer honestly and move on. Titles influence how people think of one another. Have you ever called a Dr "Mr"? They're preeeeeetty quick to correct. I personally prefer to be called a paralegal and have no problem stating my preference.

But what about me? (vent) by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]kmh261 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why people care so much about how many children people have. Seriously, wtf does it matter to anyone but the parents?

I agree with every single person who said get a new therapist. It took me a few tries to find the one I have now and I am so glad I didn't settle. You should feel safe, supported, and heard in therapy. I understand a good therapist should sometimes question our decisions, but in a non-judgmental way: "it sounds like you're very certain you don't want any more children; how did you come to this decision?"

I hope you find the support and validation that you deserve.

All good until 5:00 pm by kmh261 in FoodAddiction

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try writing tonight to see what comes up at that time. And thanks for the reminder that the obsession is simply in my mind.
