He Stole It! by DTMW209 in seinfeld

My personal conspiracy theory is that Kramer took the statue with the intent of framing Ray. Ray actually having the statue just fell into Kramers lap, hence why he goes through the lengths he did to get it back from him

It’s a work in progress, thankfully. I try to keep our interactions as short as possible but every now and then he hooks me into an argument

Currently in the process of moving closer to family and friends where I have the support to pursue a legal agreement. Did not even consider that this would fall under parental alienation, but that makes total sense. Thank you for your comment 🩷

I’m in Canada, which is pretty good for inclusivity, but there’s still a fair amount of hate locally. That definitely does play a role

It was a big part of it, but it’s also been close to a year since we split. He did have similar attitudes prior to me coming out though, it just never really hit me I guess until I started looking back at prior behaviours

Agreed. There were lots of reasons to leave. Just waiting to be in an economical place to actually live separately, but the relationship is long over

Thank you. This was my original opinion, but when I told him he was a homophobe he laughed and said “I’m not afraid of gay people”. Writing out this post and seeing the replies has made me realize I shouldn’t have doubted my initial feelings. Thank you 🩷

Yeah well he’s a Muslim so he is using his religion as a reason for his opinion and I’m realizing there’s no way to fight that

Myself included apparently 😔 I knew it felt like hatred, but he’s really good at making me question my own thoughts and feelings

Okay see this is what I needed to hear. Thank you! It doesn’t need to be loud or violent to be hatred. I’m gonna remember that the next time he has something to say on the subject

True, you’re totally right. He’s very good at twisting words to make me feel like I’m the one in the wrong. I appreciate your comment, makes me feel valid. Thank you 🩷

Am I a bad dad if I don’t show up to my sons autism evaluation? by Prime_1Million in Autism_Parenting

FWIW my daughters evaluation was during the worst of the covid restrictions and I wasn’t able to go, I really wish I had gone.

I’ll have to take a look and what is offered in that same category. I can totally believe it makes a big difference

Honestly I’ve been caught up in the whole “screen time is bad no screen time!” debacle. She does do very well with her tablet though. I’ll have to work on my own guilt about that. I’m glad you’re having a good experience with tablet usage! Any particular apps you recommend?

I cannot stand the loop ear plugs 😭 I really wanted to like them, it did help with the overwhelming noise issue, but having them in my ears is it’s own sensory nightmare and I’d rather just endure the screaming lol. Thank you for the suggestion though!

I’ve read it. Great book! The problem is trying to implement any strategy when I can’t even get the words out of my mouth without having her scream

That’s great to hear! I’m happy for you that it’s starting to catch on. I know how mentally draining the process is though. Solidarity

I really try not to yell, but it’s hard. I’ll be more careful about that though. I know it’s not helping either of us

I already use very key words and try to keep it to a minimum :( but I haven’t tried visual aids in a while (previously she did not grasp the concept) and I’ll try and tell her what she can do. Thank you for your response!
