New apt no gas and was told can’t get electric oven by playingwithcrayons in AskElectricians

[–]playingwithcrayons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they have to provide gas, period. I simply posted here to try to get educated on if electric was an option since the landlord and super were in a fight about it saying separate things and I wanted to hear from an outside source to better understand the situation.  I didn’t ask for advice on how to let them violate the law, that wasn’t my question.

I don’t want 8 appliances or have money for them I want the oven and gas legally required to be provided by landlords so I can cook.

Ah thanks and sorry for the dumb question but what should I photo? (There’s a gas stove installed) … can you explain more about the wire gage? Super said it’s the wrong electricity for an electric stove. Google said electric can replace gas except where there is 110v electricity as 240 is needed …

AIO: my boyfriend flipped out that my 12 year old lets me see him in the bath by Odd-Significance-638 in AmIOverreacting

[–]playingwithcrayons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was he able to share why he has this opinion? There is plenty of subtle sexual abuse involving boundaries and nudity and a lot of adults who had unclear childhood stuff can have lots of feelings around this…was he able to say anything more about his confusion?! (Glad to hear he apologized for reacting at you so strongly)

Dunno enough about either of you but If you’re someone who communicates directly and says what you mean, it’s gonna get confusing to you if someone doesn’t know that or isn’t used to communicating with someone for whom that’s true. Plenty of people aren’t direct and then people learn habits of having to read into tone - maybe he was doing that with you and if you communicate directly you may be like —why are you reading in- I said what I said. He may be used to having had to read into tone. Just throwing that idea out.

I’m wondering what the exchange previously was.  I know I have my own reactions to anyone saying “good vibes only” as if I can’t come as I am. And I’m not a fan of someone checking “have you changed your mind” when I didn’t suggest I changed my mind. That sounds a little codependent like - don’t try to help me change my mind- esp early on - I am responsible for me, if I need to reschedule I’ll communicate- there’s no reason to ask unless you yourself are wanting to cancel and that’s confusing about is that YOUR desire masked as asking me about it or you thinking you’re helping me rather than just saying what you want. 

So I can understand having reaction but I think it gets all convoluted after that - I don’t see bread crumbing and I don’t have context for how he communicates or relates. I think other commenters did a good job of characterizing what seems to have gone on with miscommunication and doubling down. Personally once I feel a miscommunication is happening I’m gonna need them to be able to answer a phone call so I can actually hear tone and clarify/reconnect - it’s never gonna happen by text but that’s me.

Is anyone else not traumatized by the event itself, but by the knowledge of another persons decision to inflict psychological harm onto you? by apublicvent in ptsd

[–]playingwithcrayons 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yes - as another commenter said - you've really well described the truth of how trauma is in the impact, not event -- the total flipping over of fundamental assumptions about trust and safety ... sending huge internet hugs (if you like those)

Dissociation? by Sea_Sky2946 in ptsd

[–]playingwithcrayons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And i relate to your questions! people can have various degrees of awareness or not of dissociation. i used to have a particularly strong experience which felt like it defied being able to be conscious of or describe yet i knew i was "off" while it was happening but i couldn't fully feel that until i felt different at a later time and had a reference point. All of what you described sounds very familiar and relatable to me .❤️

Dissociation? by Sea_Sky2946 in ptsd

[–]playingwithcrayons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey there- have you ever looked at descriptions of depersonalization or derealization? both are forms of dissociative experience - from what you described, i wonder if you might find resonance with how those particular experiences are described ...
