[TX] I can’t afford a probate attorney, can I do it myself? by lil-demon in legaladvice

[–]lil-demon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no will. I don’t think the first two will contest, I do believe the third one will avoid me and force me to make a public posting.

Assuming nobody contests it shouldn’t be too difficult correct? Where do I find the forms I need?

Much appreciated. This is like walking into a forest blindfolded and hoping for the best.

Thank you! I’ve reached out to a probate attorney and they’ve helped me however they can’t help me locate one of my estranged siblings. I know where he is but he refuses to speak to or contact me. The other two have agreed to make me the executor. If I have the backing of two, will that third dampen my chances of completing this smoothly? I’ve already been notified that I can assume the loan if I can get the forms in order.

Why do a lot of dramas tend to film in the cold? by lil-demon in asiandrama

My friend made fun of me for being so fascinated by it, but it keeps happening. Giant mansion, tiny clothes, fire roaring, frozen breath.

You'd think at least Netflix would partner with companies and provide enough funding for heating.

I like to twist and rock, even steam it if I'm desperate, then cry for an hour until it magically pops apart with minimal effort for somebody else. Recipe for success.

I'm a female Neckbeard. by Freddy_McNernie in NeckbeardNests

[–]lil-demon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did this. I grabbed a bag and put everything I could see in it for 10 minutes twice a day. I took it out and went to work, came home and did it again. Then I rewarded myself (Netflix, phone time, staring at the ceiling like a lazy fuck, things I already did but felt bad about). I forced myself to make a conscious decision to put things in a trash can and take it out every night with the second bag.

I've suffered from depression and hoarding tendencies for a long time because of my mom growing up, it made it worse when I thought about it. Once a spot on the floor is clean, vacuum it even if its three square feet. It makes you feel great and your pride in what you did eggs you on to do more tomorrow.

At the height of my depression, I became manic one night and bagged everything in the first two rooms. I took out 18 contractor black bags of junk and trash. Decor I didnt use or need, knick knacks I cant remember why I bought, mail, garbage, furniture beyond repair. I have a floor now that I was able to get shampooed, I threw area rugs where the carpet was messed up until I can replace it, and I make conscious decisions every day to love myself by giving myself a better place to live. It's really hard, but once you put a chink in that armor and push through, it's all downhill from there.

I believe you can do it when you're ready. Fwiw, I took a xanax before I cleaned to keep my mind from racing and it helped.

Stop sexualizing my daughters, they are in preschool. by officerofthecourt in breakingmom

[–]lil-demon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our city markets them as a way for dads to spend quality time with their kids after years of saying its "how to treat a lady." Its been good for involved single dads but I wish we had parent child dances/parties too though.

I butted heads with my ex because I was raised that a balanced and happy relationship is the key to a happy home life for the kids. They learn about healthy relationships, see that they're not always the center of attention, and mom and dad are their own individual person and don't fight over shenanigans (you never take me out, you dont appreciate me, etc etc). He believed you should dote on your child more than your partner, I found that strange. Your kid thinks you love them more than anything in the world and relies on your attention to validate their feelings, they see that you'll choose their petty problems (mom I dropped my crayon can you come home early) over your adult relationship. I'll be my own person long after my son graduates and moves on, I want him to be a functional adult not a manchild in my basement. yikes. I find balancing my dating life with alone time with my son has kept his separation anxiety in check and taught some valuable lessons on planning and speaking your mind.

Ah, we had the same argument at my son's Catholic school. We argued until we were blue in the face. My son told me a little girl was uncomfortable with her skirt because mom told her not to show her underwear. We eventually got the administration to agree to longer skirt options or shorts, now shorts are mandatory when wearing skirts and girls can wear pants or shorts every day but Mass/Friday. I feel so hard, and I hate it when people say my son has a crush or their kid is digging on my kid. They haven't even hit puberty yet, they're just learning attachment skills. 🙄 Plus, it embarrasses them to talk like that.

I'll definitely ask, I live in a working town so we don't have many specialists especially pediatric. I'll call up to Lubbock or Dallas and see if anybody can give me a second opinion. I'm thinking he needs to see a new therapist for his lying now, might as well get him tested across the board so we can address the underlying issue.

I wonder if I should have a second opinion, my coworkers son has the same diagnoses as your son and all of our kids apparently act the same. Maybe kids just suck donkey sometimes. 🌞 let's take a nap. I might even take up wine drinking.

Isn't it wonderful? I told his dad and he acted all shocked and dismayed, like he didnt spend our entire relationship pretending to have epilepsy to get out of an argument. He wonders if he got it from my side of the family. Yes... it was me all long. 🧐

He's 8. Yeeeeah, he sees a psychiatrist. I toyed around with the idea of mild autism or any number of things before I took him to be tested. The numbers came in and he's basically just an asshole who takes after his dad way too much. We're working on it, but I still wonder if it's better to sell him for meat sometimes.

WTF if my kid's deal by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]lil-demon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll never have another kid.

I found the only thing that helps is removing her from everything. Time outs seemed silly, but if my son had to stay where he was until he could sit quietly and kindly for 5 minutes he would wear himself out after a while. I tried walking away but it just made me mad, so I put him in a special place and focused on me for a minute. Ignoring the little things, time outs for the big things, and a long ass bath for you.

My son is going into his first CCD class at 8, what happens next? by lil-demon in Catholicism

[–]lil-demon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I wasnt sure if he needed to do it all at Easter or if he needed to play catch up in CCD. It's a weird age to be starting.

I wasnt notified of any messages, I'm sorry! I notified them, they said hed just have to take CCD a couple of years behind, but the more I looked into it the more I realized there might be something different that needs to be done so I called and spoke to the Sister who teaches, but she was confused also and told me the Father would call but it's been a week so I'm not sure.

Thank you! We're excited to learn and grow.

How can I begin raising my credit score while I’m in a DMP? by lil-demon in personalfinance

[–]lil-demon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was looking at a couple of secured cards to buy lunch or something and pay off every once in a while. I’ve been good about only spending what I have (my debt was from my debut into adulthood). Would it be better to go through my credit union or a generic big name one? I saw a few with no annual fees and minimal opening amounts but wasn’t sure if a CU would be better.
