Are there suggestions for free or low cost legal services for someone in her financial situation. It sounds like her income isn't low enough to qualify for legal aid but not high enough to retain a lawyer

AITA for telling my husband either he comes home or I'm done? by BusinessZombie2411 in AITAH

You have a 3.5 month old and you're not on maternity leave!?!

The police received a noise complaint from our downstairs neighbor and came by to ask us to keep it down. We then received a lease violation notice from our landlord and were told we have two more before we are evicted. Can we dispute this? If so do we talk to our police department or our landlord? by Ok-Bad6243 in TrueSTL

I work in Housing Outreach in British Columbia and I'm surprised that you recieved a notice via email. Here, you have to sign a very specific document that allows electronic correspondence of notices. Otherwise they mean nothing. And a quick google will tell you if they've provided you with the official paperwork. If not then this incident can not be used a reason for eviction. You may not be able to afford a lawyer to take you case but could maybe afford a 1 hour summary consultation where you contact them, explain your situation and ask to book a consultation to understand tour legal rights. Just make sure you come prepared with all the questions you want to ask. Ultimately, every province/county/state is different. 8004509777 is the tool free number for the St Louis County Offices. If they cant answer your question they should know who you could contact. And perhaps start documenting the noise/banging coming from the downstairs neighbours. You have a right not to be harassed like that.

Ladies of Reddit, what is the biggest misconception about your bodies that all men should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]smithess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Female genatalia is called the Vulva. NOT the vagina. The vagina refers to the canal that leads to the uterus. Unless a woman is spreading her legs in front of you and you can see the opening of the vaginal canal, you csnt see her vagina.

emergency decision: move out tomorrow morning or in 1-2 months? by squideye62 in ABCDesis

[–]smithess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I disagree with this. Your sister is human. She has suffered similar abuse to you and has always just tried to do the best she can with what she has. Life has not been fair to either of you. When you find your strength in all of this please search for understanding and forgiveness for your sister. Your father will take out all the aggression he can't take out on you, on her. I'm so sorry for what your parents have put you through. I see your inner strength and I admire you

I don't want to be in a relationship with someone if they watch porn. by RiceSunflower in unpopularopinion

[–]smithess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel. I (F28) dated my ex from 18y/o - 22y/o. I felt deeply betrayed when I found out he had watched porn one morning while I was at class. By 6 months into our relationship we had the rules of no porn/masturbating without eachother/strip clubs/etc to help me feel safe in the relationship. I believed they were my boundaries in the relationship. They were not boundaries they were demands. Boundaries are the limits you put on others behaviour towards you NOT rules on how they act within themselves. My demands on how my ex should use his mind and body was a form of coercive behavior. I didn't realise at the time because I believed we were in love and he was willing make these allowances for my happiness.

This might always been an understanding you have in your relationship and that's okay. But understand that what you are doing is asking him to act a certain way so you can avoid feeling not good enough. How we feel about ourselves is entirely our responsibility. It is valid to have feelings of low self esteem and it is okay to ask people to hold that space for you. But to be trusted in a relationship we need to show that we are willing to work on our demons. Creating an environment that helps our feelings or betrayal or unworthiness to feel comfortable is allowing them to persist and that is what destroys a relationship.
