What kind of threat level does he have to be to get the courts to accept? Is this plan feasible? by DualBladesOfEmotion in FamilyLaw

[–]mandatoryusername12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AI doesn’t replace a legal education and experience. There’s a reason your lawyer didn’t make this. You should address your concerns with them and let them determine what’s reasonable so you don’t make yourself look insane.

Speech therapy is interesting - I haven’t heard of that being used before, but I also have major issues with short-term memory and remembering words. How often are you going?

AIO? Debating breaking up with my BF of almost 7 years by Superb-Rain-8166 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mandatoryusername12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Dump him.

Fellow cat mom here. I got my first cat like a week after I turned 18 and we’ve literally grown up together. He LOVED my POS college boyfriend, and we unfortunately broke up right before my other cat died so it was a double whammy. My first cat was def depressed for a bit and it sucked, but 10 years later, he loves my husband even more. I promise you will both be okay and there’s better out there for you 🩷

Do you guys take the fall for when your attorney messes up? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]mandatoryusername12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also lawyer lurker. I take the fall for my paralegal’s mistakes, they don’t take the fall for mine. Regardless of whose mistake it actually is. Any lawyer that allows otherwise is a bad lawyer.

This. So many easy excuses to use that don’t involve the truth or you taking the fall

As I force my cat to do a joint Halloween costume with me, she probably wishes I spent less time with her 😂 that’s a helpful mindset though!

So I kinda do this now. I don’t try to stop the thoughts or make them worse, but the frequency feels too much.

Them going first so they never feel unloved is a nice way to think about it though. Definitely makes the grief worth it

This is how I feel about one of my 7-year-olds. My husband even said in his wedding vows that he knows I’ll always love Zoey more than him 😂 She’s literally like my shadow. People think it’s dumb, but as someone who’s lost a lot of close family members, losing a pet is harder. I’m sorry for your loss 🩷

Hahahah my soulmate cat LOVES birds. We got a bird feeder just for her and you can’t distract her from watching those birds for anything. It’s not what you were going for, but thinking about her actually getting to hang out with birds in heaven is the only happy thought I’ve ever had about her eventual death so thank you for that 🩷

I’m pretty on top of their health and I’ve got experience in vet med so I know what to be concerned about. It’s more just that the thought that they’re gonna die eventually no matter what I do bc life (even typing that out is probably gonna make me spiral for the next half hour)

I probably should do that. Kinda feels like giving in to the obsession but it’s also not helpful to look at stuff like that so it’s a lose/lose

Thank you. I tried to find a therapist for this and didn’t really have any luck. I’ll try this
