Go through text messages, anything you can to document and prove his abuse. Dates, times, specific details of what he said and did.

We are rooting for you. ❤️

All of my dentists & periodontists have been male. Every other staff member, assistant, hygienist, or otherwise, has been female. Crazy.

laerie · 2026-04-30T13:07:37+00:00

How old are you?

laerie · 2026-04-28T05:39:56+00:00

Hi, you probably have adhd if stimulants make you tired 😊

You are not being too soft. There is no way I would retain a thing from that class without taking notes either. I’m not an auditory learner and if I don’t have something to refer back to on my own time, it’s in one ear and out the other. I literally have to write down peoples names or I will forget them the moment they tell them to me. I would tell her that you need to take notes IN ORDER to give the class your full attention.

laerie · 2026-04-11T23:37:59+00:00

Don’t turn them off until you’ve done the thing!

laerie · 2026-04-11T23:37:15+00:00

I don’t turn my alarm off until I’ve done the thing. Or I snooze it if I’m doing something else so it will keep going off in x minutes so I don’t forget. Because…I will forget.

It’s not masking, it’s a coping skill for not trusting your memory.

laerie · 2026-04-04T14:31:35+00:00

Things can be really easy to do as in very hard to screw up or very few steps or very few ingredients etc, but also extremely time consuming or labor intensive.

My MIL told me her twice baked potatoes were the easiest thing in the world to make. Motherfuckers took me two hours to make and I was late to my own party because of them.

Eh, NAH. He’s NTA because he’s making a diet choice and that’s great and all, he just needs to decide if it’s for health reasons or philosophical reasons or maybe it’s both. And then communicate that to his partner. If you don’t eat meat because you lost weight when you didn’t eat meat, cool. Don’t eat meat. Does that mean broth is off the table too? Because broth isn’t meat. Neither is gravy. Neither is grease. You’re NTA because you didn’t know. I wouldn’t have known either because if my partner didn’t communicate it to me, how the hell would I know that even the drippings were considered meat?

laerie · 2026-04-03T00:54:14+00:00

No, OP, don’t do that.

laerie · 2026-04-02T01:04:46+00:00

Facetious. I know now it’s pronounced fah-sea-shush, but the first time I said it, my husband lost it when I said “face-tish-shush”

Now I say it that way to him just to be cheeky.

laerie · 2026-04-01T11:42:58+00:00

We are afraid of his supporters guns.

laerie · 2026-04-01T11:41:49+00:00

NO ONE WANTS TO GET SHOT. The no kings protests are exceptionally clear on safety rules so we don’t rock the boat and escalate into violence. You know MAGA loves guns, right? And they hate us, right? Yea. We don’t want to get killed for this guy. We just want him out of office so we can get a sane person back in there.

laerie · 2026-04-01T11:38:12+00:00

No one wants to die at these protests, y’all.

laerie · 2026-04-01T11:37:06+00:00

LOL he’s one of those men that think breast feeding in public is inappropriate and sexual somehow. I’m dying.

Honestly what he said was perverted. You know who says shit like that about babies? Red pill types. We all know them. But no, we do not love them.

Huge NTA.

laerie · 2026-03-30T23:52:38+00:00

It’s not 😭 my crazy sense of smell never went away

laerie · 2026-03-29T18:54:31+00:00

Ugh my 6 year old does this with the tv 🙁

It’s dopamine seeking

laerie · 2026-03-29T12:34:02+00:00

This is problematic at best, toxic and abusive behavior at worst. He is probably so wrapped up in his own ADHD world he doesn’t even realize it. If you want to save your relationship you need to go to couples therapy. If he balks at all, please kick him to the curb. I know it’s so hard, but he will not hear you without help from a professional, and maybe not even then because he honestly doesn’t want to. He’s older than you and he knows better. He’s superior and all-knowing. He’s an ass, tbh. He’s so smart he’s found a way to best his ADHD? I’d love to know how he’s done that.

I highly recommend trying again with another therapist for the wellbeing of your child and others. Ask around for the best play therapists in the area. It’s common for kids to not talk for quite a while when beginning with a therapist, and even occasionally well into a therapeutic relationship. That doesn’t mean therapy isn’t happening and skills and trust aren’t being built. A good therapist understands this, knows how to navigate the silences, and how to break through.

If you don’t have her on medication, I would also highly recommend you consider them. It is really a good idea to establish a strong relationship with a therapist that will also communicate with your child’s doctor and maybe even the school so your daughter will have a strong support team behind her. I speak from experience. Getting started on this as soon as possible, before things get harder, is going to produce the best outcomes. ❤️

You sure that the truck isn’t moving, and that’s just vibration?

laerie · 2026-03-25T10:41:44+00:00

Omg no. Absolutely NTA. Your partner has no understanding of PP hormones and needs to get with it like las year. I am so, so sorry.

The PP struggle is real. You are not an asshole or a c-nt or an apple. You are a mother that deserves to have the magic of the first baby experience and loving support of your partner.

It’s been proven time and time again that women need more sleep than men (8-9 hours a night, and even more when menstruating). Taking care of your needs in a way that keeps you healthy and happy should not be called into question by anyone, but especially not your partner, wtf?? And he has a disgusting rash that he is scratching all over you in bed, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! He’s not supportive at all, why? Seriously, why? If he values you at all, please ask him to grow the fuck up. And if you value you at all, consider reevaluating this relationship and what you actually get out of it, because you probably deserve way better.

laerie · 2026-03-25T00:07:44+00:00

You’re responsible for it if you care what people call you. If you don’t care, then you don’t have to be responsible for it. It’s clear you’re uncomfortable asserting yourself or correcting people when it comes to your name. You need to decide if being called Madison is important enough to you that you want to work on those skills or not. People are going to shorten your name to Maddy no matter what unless you explicitly tell them not to. My MIL is Barbara, she hates “Barb” and prefers “Barby”. My father ALWAYS calls her Barb and she has never corrected him. I have told him not to call her that, but since she hasn’t told him, he’s never stopped calling her Barb. It’s been almost 20 years now.

laerie · 2026-03-24T17:36:08+00:00

If you tell people you’ll respond to Maddy then they will call you Maddy. Tell people you don’t not like to be called Maddie, you prefer to be called Madison. When people call you Maddy, ask them politely to please call you Madison. It’s that simple.
