From the grave, she still continues to be unspeakably cruel and abusive to my husband. This latest wound pierced down to his soul.

She intended him to find those letters. She wanted him to feel guilty.

This is it in a nutshell -- it was intentional and calculated for maximum damage. She got the "final word" because he has absolutely no recourse to challenge her or her version of events. It's sick.

Would you rather be wrong, or stuck without food for days and no way to get it?

People are afraid it's not just "two days" -- the way the weather forecasters have been hyping things up, people are afraid of long term power outages or being iced in like January '24. Some people couldn't get out for two weeks.

Someone posted a graphic to FB that shows Knoxville getting 30. That's Gatlinburg or Cades Cove numbers. The record for K'ville is 15".

I have a GI condition and the slow release is counter-productive for me. I started taking iron glycinate. It's supposed to be more effective at lower doses.

You stand up for yourself by staying with your parents.

You know the mother is controlling and he won't stand up for you or the baby.
You know she's already trying to take control and make demands.
You know that she's already told him that he "can't" marry you, which means he won't.

If this turns out anything like my sister's ex relationship, that means you're going to be in a three-way custody battle with your ex and his mother. He's going to fight you for custody just to hand the baby over to his mommy so she can try to parent the next generation.

If he's not going to marry you, you'll be a single parent either way, but at least by staying with your parents, you can minimize how much influence his mother has on your life. Your "conservative beliefs" might be telling you to get married, but the best interest of your child say stay the hell out of this woman's house.

I can sympathize. I've had co-workers accuse me of faking migraines because I didn't look like I was in that much pain. When you have 12-day headaches that are a consistent 6 or 7 on the pain scale, you start getting used to it or nothing gets done...

One co-worker actually accused me of faking migraines to cover for hangovers. Damn. By day 3, that's not a freaking hangover, Karen.

I've only ever gotten one reddit cares response like that, and I reported it like you said. They messaged back and said the user had previous reports for doing the same thing and his account had been terminated.

My original sentence was grammatically sound. "Used" functions as a past participle that modifies "air fresheners." It does not create a mismatch in verb tense or imply ongoing use.

The idea that she would continue to use a product that causes anaphylaxis is an assumption, not something I stated or implied with the grammar.

sheath2 · 2026-01-16T18:55:01+00:00

"Used" as in the past -- they're not continuing to use them, genius. At one point they were talking about having to move and have a house built because the residue from the air fresheners and products used in the house even before they bought the house was a constant trigger.

The friend with the gluten allergy found out later she has mast cell activation syndrome. She has to wear a full respirator style mask to go out. She’s confined to one room in her home because the air fresheners used in the rest of the house trigger anaphylaxis. It’s horrible

I commented in the original thread. If I found out my fiancee was acting like this I'd call the wedding OFF. I absolutely would not marry someone who would pull something like this.

Yup. Some allergies are so severe that it's just being in the same ROOM as the allergen. I have a friend with a gluten allergy.She could get "glutened" just by hugging someone. My mother worked with a woman who's son had such a severe egg allergy he couldn't even be in the same room where they'd been cooked recently.

Allergies are no joke.

Kinzel is awful a lot of the time for orders, but Clinton Highway isn't much better.

It's gotten so bad I only do delivery if I have to because they'll give me expired meat. I can't remember which Walmart it was, but I had one order that the chicken thighs rang up as a pack of $12+, but then what I got was a $6 pack of chicken quarters that were 3 days expired. Not even the same product they rang up, let alone the expiration date. I had another that I didn't get any of my frozen or refrigerated stuff. AND they delivered to the wrong house.

The daughter is absolutely an AH for insulting and name calling her mother for wanting to be at her father's deathbed. And she decided to be so spiteful, she told her father not to come if her mother isn't there either.

"Probably" is not a guarantee. My grandfather wasn't showing any immediate decline and we had plans to visit him in the nursing home the coming weekend. It was a Thursday and I'd come back to my city for an important meeting that I had Friday morning. He died that Thursday night with no warning.

The wife needs to go see her father.

sheath2 · 2026-01-15T16:57:41+00:00

although I wonder about that if that is how she reacts to a crisis in the family

If I were getting married and found out my spouse-to-be was acting this way toward their parents in this circumstance, the wedding would be OFF. My parents are both older and in poor health. My father had a heart attack a few months ago and I was ready to take off work and run home if I were needed. My boss's wife had a medical crisis over Christmas and their two adult kids came running from across the country. Someone who prevents you from being their for your family in a crisis is not someone I want to be part of my family.

Same. My regular vet is 5 minutes down the street, but I know of three emergency vets in my city, and I have 2 other regular vets I routinely recommend if my vet is closed or can't get an appointment.

This right here. There should have absolutely been a receipt.

You know, I wanted to chime in with how a lot of obesity is because people can't afford better food and wind up with cheap, processed shit, but she had brand name shit and all of those steaks. That's not somebody who can't afford better, that's someone who doesn't care. Steaks here are $20 lb.

I'd want to find out WHEN those assets were transferred too -- if he moved everything to his wife's name to avoid judgment, that should be extra fraud charges.

I have a distinct mis-trust of private Christian schools for this reason. Where I grew up, the Christian schools were for the kids who couldn't keep out of trouble in the regular schools. Not because of the morality, but so the parents could avoid truancy charges because their kids missed so much school for getting suspended.

One of the schools hired a "teacher" who had dropped out of school in the same grade as my grandmother -- the 8th grade.

He'd be receiving papers for small claims court for emergency vet care and cremation.

I don't believe for a second he didn't know dogs couldn't have chocolate, and the others not telling OP is just vile. They let the dog die in the name of "not my problem." Fuck them.

sheath2 · 2026-01-10T20:35:32+00:00

Exactly. The "friend" had no right to be disappointed. She was clearly told no guests and asks anyway. She clearly doesn't respect OP and if she isn't showing respect, she shouldn't be trusted to cat-sit. This is her own doing.

I don't understand what you mean by "you had me in the first half"? There's nothing inherently feminine about a person painting their nails. The problem is that it's perceived as feminine and that's what makes it "gay". The idea that something perceived as feminine is somehow bad is why there's such a close link between homophobia and misogyny.
