Ok, I know how the title sounds, but before ya’ll grab your torches and pitchforks, let me give you some background info. Also, sorry that it's a long post.
I (35 female) met my husband (40 male, we’ll call him Tom) 11 years ago. We were both still in the party phase of our twenties at that time. We drank and parties a lot,and had jobs where that sort of lifestyle was common (I was a waitress, and he had also worked in restaurants). During this time, my money was never well spent (obviously), and I got my car repoed twice, and had to move in with him to survive. This really made him reevaluate our current lifestyle.
Tom dragged me into a healthier lifestyle kicking and screaming. I still wanted to party, but I didn’t want to lose him. What we didn’t know at the time is that I had undiagnosed severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The party lifestyle was my way of self-medicating, and we didn’t find this out until much later.
I ended up getting a job as a medical assistant, and he finished his degree and got a government job. We moved across the country, got married, and had a baby, all while I didn’t really have a solid grasp on my mental health struggles.
After the birth of our daughter, I realized that I still had a lot of work to do in order to become the mother that she deserved. I finally saw my doctor about my struggles, got into talk therapy, and was placed on medication. It took a couple of tries, but I am finally on a good regimen, and my mental health is better than it has ever been.
I also took the birth of my daughter as an opportunity to quit my job and start working on a degree of my own. This is where the roles in Tom and my relationship started to become a problem.
As soon as we discussed my plan to go to school, Tom took it upon himself to find a college program for me, and he picked LPN (licensed practical nurse). I explained to him that while I wanted to stay in the medical field, I didn’t want to move into the world of nursing for a variety of reasons. He insisted that it was the best choice for our family, and that I would love it.
I told him that I really didn’t think it would suit me well, but that if he really wanted me to go into nursing, I should try to become an RN, because the pay would be better, and the training would be more comprehensive. He disagreed and said that we couldn’t afford for me to be in school for that long.
I really didn’t want to argue with him, and I felt myself shutting down, which is what I’ve always done when presented with conflict.
Day after day he would ask me if I had contacted the school he picked, or if I started the registration process. This constant pressure also made it very difficult for me to move forward. But finally, one day, while he was at work, and our daughter napped, I looked through the different programs available at the school that he picked. I found radiology technologist, and this quickly caught my interest. I called the school, scheduled my placement test, and was put in touch with who would end up being my advisor.
When he got home, I told him about what I had accomplished, and how excited I was about this particular program. He looked confused, and said something to the effect of “But I thought you wanted to do the LPN program? When did you change your mind?”
I explained, “No, you wanted me to do the LPN program, and I told you I didn’t want to get into nursing. I only agreed with you because you pushed it so hard. But look, this is also a two-year program, I’ll end up being an X-Ray tech, which I think will suit my strengths a lot better, and it has a lot of the same requirements.”
We ended up agreeing that Rad Tech was the best idea, but his has always insisted that LPN was my idea.
Fast forward two years. I am thriving in school, as a mother, and with my mental health. Our daughter is due to start pre-school in the fall, and I will be transferring schools to complete my degree. I have a 3.9 GPA, I am part of a prestigious honor society, and have earned numerous scholarships. I would like to think that I have grown up immensely in the past few years.
However, Tom still often treats me like a child. He does this in a lot of different ways. I’ll talk about buying a certain toy for our daughter, and if he doesn’t like the toy, he’ll usually just say “No, we’re not doing that.” If I push, he’ll say something to the effect of “You know how I feel about this,” which is his way of saying “End of conversation.” Whatever the issue is, we will almost always navigate through it and find a compromise. I don’t shut down with confrontation anymore and have gotten much better at arguing my points of view. But the way he talks to me seems super dismissive and has the same tone as a strict father talking to a rebellious teen. He can also be a complete man-splainer to an extreme degree.
I finally reached my breaking point with the way he talks to me yesterday. I had gone to my new campus to pick up my student I.D. and to walk around and get a feel for the place. I ended up being able to also get a copy of my class schedule before it was posted online. I realized that they had registered me for a class that I had already completed this past semester.
Tom called me while he was at lunch to chat, and I told him a bit about my day, and the mix up with my classes. I told him that I would make sure updated transcripts got sent to the campus, and I would email my advisor to discuss filling the slot with a different class (To be fair, I did say “with a B.S. class,” but obviously that isn’t how I would phrase it in the email). Tom started telling me “No, don’t do that. First, you have to make sure that you get new transcripts ordered, and then explain to him that you would rather take a humanities class. You can’t say a ‘B.S. class.’” He went on and on for a while.
Essentially, he took almost his entire lunch break to not only tell me what to do, but most of what he said, was what I had already planned on doing. When he had tired himself out with his rant, I stayed quiet, and just said “Ok.” He asked if I was mad, and I simply said “No, but please stop treating me like a child and trust that I will get this done on my own. You basically just took 15 minutes to tell me the exact same thing that I told you.”
Later that night, while I was cooking dinner, he opened the envelope that had my schedule in it, which had my name on it, not his, and started reading the schedule. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, but no matter how often I tell him this, he still does it. He then started trying to explain to me what all the different abbreviations on the form meant (which I already knew), and then started saying that he didn’t like how my schedule was set up. He thought it was too many classes one right after the other (it’s 3 classes in a row and would allow time for me to finish my school day early). He started telling me that I needed to tell my advisor to stretch out my schedule to allow time for a long lunch break, possibly with study time in between, yada yada.
I say yada yada, because I honestly stopped hearing what he was saying after a moment. Was he literally doing the exact same thing that I had asked him to stop earlier that day? Was he really man-splaining my class schedule to me? Was he really under the impression that he could tell me what to tell my advisor? I ended up cutting him off in the middle of whatever he was saying and said “Hey, you’re doing it again. Can you please stop treating me like a child? I’ll take care of this myself.”
He responded “You know I’m just trying to help. But if you don’t want my help, then fine. I’ll just shut up then.”
I lost it at that moment. The flood gates opened, and I honestly had no control over the words that came out of my mouth. I yelled that he wasn’t trying to help, that he was trying to dictate. I threw my GPA in his face, and explained how much I accomplished, while being the full time caregiver to our child, cooking every meal, running every household errand, and keeping our house spotless. I yelled that I wasn’t the dress over my head party girl who needed a guiding hand anymore, and that I was a grown ass responsible woman. I ended it with “You need to stop treating me like a Goddamn child and start treating me like a partner, because I’ve earned it.”
Tom was silent. We haven’t had a fight that involved yelling in years. He wasn’t used to this side of me at all. Eventually he apologized, said that I was right, and then went to have some alone time to process everything.
Here’s why I think that I may have been the asshole, and no, it’s not him trying to gaslight me into thinking I am. As I play the whole thing back in my head, I can’t help but think that I seriously crossed a line or two. First, our daughter, who is only two years old, was in the room with us. I never want us to be the type of parents that yell and scream in front of her.
Second, in the span of just a couple of years, I basically completely flipped the script on him. The beginning, and most of our relationship was spent with him being the grown up, and me being the screw up. I have essentially changed my entire brain chemistry with medication, have had talk therapy to help me grow as a person. Basically, I’ve reinvented myself. While all this has happened over the course of two years, you’d be surprised how quickly that time flies by in your late thirties/early forties, especially with a baby/toddler thrown into the mix. To Tom, it really could seem like this change, and my anger has come out of nowhere.
Also, just because I’ve changed, doesn’t mean that he has. He hasn’t been through the same hormonal and chemical changes that I’ve been through. Maybe I am the asshole for expecting the person he has always been to suddenly conform to the new me.
So what’s the verdict? Am I the asshole?

Many families bring a dog into their family when their children are young. Instead of waiting for your child to beg for a dog, consider adding a puppy early! An abundance of research shows that children benefit tremendously from having a dog in the family.
Obviously there are the wonderful benefits of companionship, but adding a dog to your family can improve your child’s mental and physical health in surprising ways.

Social Benefits of Dog Ownership

One study observed preschoolers, and largely confirmed data related to older school-aged children. The research was published in Pediatric Research, the official publication of American Pediatric Society, European Society for Paediatric Research, and Society for Pediatric Research.
According to the study, 42% of family units have a dog. The most remarkable findings were social benefits to the preschool-aged children in these families — children showed a 30% reduction in the likelihood of conduct issues, and a 40% reduction in social trouble with their peers.
Families with dogs and pre-school children saw their children play with their dogs at least three times per week in 77% of cases.
The study concluded “We found that pre-school children with a family dog were less likely to have conduct problems, peer problems, and had a lower overall difficulties score than children from non-dog-owning families, after adjusting for socio-demographic factors and child screen and sleep time.”
These findings demonstrate an incredible benefit to young children. Reductions of 30% and 40% over their peers in social turmoil is a truly extraordinary result.

Physical Benefits of Dog Ownership

Remarkably, having a puppy at home can also improve your child’s physical health. While increased physical activity due to playing with and walking your dog is an obvious benefit, there are other unexpected advantages.
The most well-documented physical improvement for children with dogs in their home comes from the JAMA Pediatrics journal. They studied over half a million preschool and school aged children over several years, and found that living with dog at home during a child’s early years is linked to a 13% reduction in asthma.
Other studies have shown that owning a dog provides a significant reduction in environmental allergies for your child. These findings indicate that exposure to increased allergens from the earliest days of childhood actually produces an immune system that is less hyperactive, and less likely to develop allergies to common environmental allergens.

Mental Health Benefits of Dog Ownership

With multiple studies — and plenty of anecdotal evidence — showing a dramatic increase in mental health difficulties for children of all ages, research into dogs and mental health is an important field of study.
A small study of 643 kids between six and seven years of age was conducted by Bassett Medical Center in New York State indicated notable benefits for children with dogs.
Their data showed that clinical anxiety is significantly less likely to appear in children who have dogs in the home. For children without dogs, the rate of diagnosed clinical anxiety is 21%.
For those with dogs the rate is just 12%, which indicates that dog ownership can reduce clinical anxiety in young children by nearly half.

How to Choose a Dog for Your Family

The hunt is on — you’ve decided to get a puppy, but how do you decide what to choose? Any pet that is being introduced into a home with children needs to be carefully selected with your family dynamics in mind — focus on breeds that are known to be child-friendly.
Every breed has specific characteristics, often selected over decades or centuries of breeding with certain goals in mind. Selecting a breed known for their patience, intelligence, playfulness, and trainability will set your children and puppy up for a wonderful friendship.
Of course, we are happy to guide you! Check out our breed selector and index to find the best addition to your family.

Helping Your Kids and Puppy Bond

One of the best ways to build a strong bond between your new puppy and your children is to involve your child in the pup’s care. Depending on your child’s age, they can help with any number of tasks including walking the dog, providing food and water, brushing your dog, and even assisting with training.
Remember that the dog should obey your child’s commands as well as your own, so involving them in the training is an excellent plan. It is vitally important that you integrate your new puppy into your daily life — the more they interact and work together, the more their bond will grow!

Why Wait?

Adding a dog to your life just might be one of the best things you can do for your child’s overall well-being. They’ll have a built-in buddy, develop responsibility, and may even have improved social skills along with benefits to their mental and physical health.
If you’ve been considering adding a dog to your family, reach out to us — our team would be delighted to walk you through the process of choosing the perfect puppy for your family!

First, I want to apologize in advance for the long post.
I guess I'll start by giving some background information. I'm in my early thirties, female, living in the southern USA. Minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. I've never been a financially "successful" person, but since I entered the work force after receiving a Bachelor's degree in art, I've always gotten by. I've mostly worked 1-2 year stints in various childcare positions, making just enough money to afford rent in a one bedroom apartment with my cat. I never had more than the bare minimum health insurance, so it's definitely the case that I've neglected my medical care. I could never get the time off work anyway, because taking off meant not making enough money for rent.
Unfortunately, the consequences of living this lifestyle is that now I'm in my thirties, have practically no savings, have several genetic health problems, and I'm having trouble finding a job. The employment I do get offered isn't enough to cover rent (after hidden fees, cheapest rent is almost $1300 even for a studio apartment), and it's all physically tedious work that exacerbates my conditions. I can't help but blame myself for getting a degree in art for my current predicament, but I also can't afford to go back to school for a degree in something else.
I got out of a 2.5 year relationship with someone who turned out to be lying to me about everything the entire time were dating, and I recently had to move back in with my mother, and we don't get along. My mother was abusive to me in childhood, putting me in the position of parenting my siblings, and threatening me that if I left to go to college, she'd burn the house down with the family pets inside and kill herself. I told myself I'd never come back, but here I am. It's making me feel incredibly depressed and hopeless.
I honestly don't know where to go from here. I've tried applying to literally hundreds of jobs as a receptionist, medical scribe, office assistant, bank teller, tutor, nanny, daycare provider, museum guide, data entry clerk, cashier at places where sitting is allowed, everything I can think of that won't break my already failing body, and I get nothing in response. I've even lowered my financial expectations. Where I was once making $21 an hour, I'm now getting turned down for positions that pay $11.
I tried working at a grocery store for a couple of months, but I had to stand the entire 8 hours a day and do a lot of heavy lifting, and it got to where I was in so much constant pain that I couldn't get myself to the bathroom in the middle of the night and wet the bed instead. Just in literal constant agony. I wanted to die. I was so incredibly angry at my body.
Does anybody have advice for how I can get myself out of this rut? How to make the job hunt easier? What to put on a resume to make employers take a second look? I'd like to add that I am an extremely hard worker, despite what my brief tenure at the grocery store position implies. I show up on time, I do my own duties without arguing, and make sure to help my coworkers with their own work wherever I can. I feel like if I could just get my foot in the door with one of these jobs where I don't have to do physical labor, I could excel, but I just haven't gotten the opportunity.

Hi so I just made a post and then deleted it but it was about updating my marriage and telling DHS about my husbands insurance and my son being added to the dental and vision.
I saw I needed to update it so I just sent in a few updates about the marriage and I stated my husband started a new insurance for med/dental/vision and that my son was added to just dental and vision.
So I just turned 26 and was on my parents health insurance until June. We can’t afford to put me and my son on his medical insurance so when the time comes my son will go on Chip and I enrolled in the marketplace but I am going on my husbands dental and vision plan too. So do I also need to update DHS that I went on marketplace insurance and was added to my husbands insurance or no since I was never on medical assistance or should I make that as a life update too?
Also again sorry I deleted before I read any comments, are they going to send me stuff for CHIP when the renewal period comes up and my son loses the medical assistance or do I have to go apply for that separately and if I do have to do it separately should I do that now? It says SAR is in August and renewal in February so I don’t know which date would be when he loses it. Or does he lose it now since we added him to my husbands dental and vision?

I live in the US in the state of Ohio, although the state may not matter with this inquiry.
I am considering starting a commercial enterprise that would involve importing drugs from Europe. The drugs are not a controlled substance and is a relatively common prescription. The two countries I will import from are Liechtenstein or San Marino. I am not a medical professional.

1. Are drugs legal to import for regulated and legal commercial enterprises?
2. Advice on TYPES of lawyers related to this would be much appreciated. Sorry if I am being naughty with rule #3.

Well, I've heard if Cisco Easter Eggs, but this is a weird one.
I work at a local ISP for my region, and we have one of our employees working on getting the hardware ready for infrastructure upgrades. One of the devices he's working on is a Catalyst 3750.
Well, he sent us a copy of the startup config file and most of it is this strange conspiracy story.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Northbound 1 trains are running with delays after we got medical assistance for someone at 59 St-Columbus Circle.

I think there’s something wrong when! I spent the last 6 months worried and hyper fixated on an injury but have done nothing to fix it, I feel stuck. I’ve come to realize that’s how I deal with a lot of decision making in my life. I struggle to make decisions because I overthink a lot and am afraid to make the wrong decision.
Context, suffered knee injury, surgery for repair would help if successful but has higher failure rate for obese people. I didn’t ask questions, didn’t ask for further information, didn’t disclose full history, didn’t seek second opinion and just kinda accepted my fate of an eventual knee replacement in the next few years. Or hoping that by some miracle it wound resolved itself. I panicked and tried to get released to return to work knowing full well it isn’t good for my injury because I didn’t want to lose my job, not financially stable, living paycheck to paycheck. No modified work offered so couldn’t return.
I’ve managed to screw up so much, haven’t contacted employers about returning with less restrictions ( even though I shouldn’t do anymore physical labor jobs), my insurance needs to change but I haven’t called to fix it. I lost my disability payments because I didn’t send some information, trying to reinstate it but can’t get myself to do it. Need to make a decision if go surgical route but it’s been so long since injury that it compromised already sketchy success potential. I’ve wasted 7 months only thinking of bad outcomes, when I could have tried it and would know now if it worked.
Could have had the perfect set up, had just suffered injury, had job protection, got disability, one job offers unexpected financial assistance (nothing to crazy but it would have helped), could have gone on LTD (possibly), and would have had to switch to stated medi-cal eventually since not working. I was too worried about my injury and possibly repair failing, I didn’t want to lose my job, surgeon wasn’t too optimistic of outcome, and didn’t have the financial safety net to go thru with repair ( bills/ rent/ medical bills were gonna pile up). I was so focused on the negative that I didn’t see that I could have tried the surgery, had ample time to focus on recovery, and if it failed it would have (hopefully) just brought me back to the starting point ( it could also be worse). If I lost my job I count have relied on UE or LTD until I recovered.
Instead I hyper fixated on all the negative stuff, worked hard to get released to return to work, wasted all this time, and I’m still at the same point I started. Except this descion or lack of decision is gonna cost me more in time, money, and health. Now I’m fixated on should have had the surgery early 🤦‍♀️ what’s wrong with me ?

I carry it well as I have massive boobs that weigh alot. I currently eat about 120g protein a day and focus on fruit, veg and meat. I have cut out seed oils, caffeine, booze( for years). I have been working with a trainer for 2 years 5x a week doing heaving weight lighting. I walk on a treadmill daily for work and walk my dog for about 45 min a day. I have a ton of muscle tone but a layer of fat covering me. I have had a tummy tuck and a breast reduction and now I have random fat deposits all over my body. I look bloated and inflamed.
I have pretty strong body confidence and have learned to dress for my size. I also have high energy levels, zero body pains and am extremely flexible.
I really want my body to reflect all the work I have been doing for it. I was given a prescription for Wegovy today. I am nervous about taking it as I have been working hard on my microbiome and reducing inflammation naturally. I am wondering if there is anyone out there similar to me and how your experience with wegovy has impacted you.
I do not want to be on the medication long term. Was hoping to use it to assist getting to goal weight and then hoping my body would maintain that weight like it does at 210lbs.

Whole list of red flags bro.
So basically ill be doing the talking about this crazy situation about my friends Mason and Hazel in regards to their one of a kind shit relationship ( in Mason’s pov)!!Anyways, they started dating last year in January. And despite their differences, they were a couple. Hazel was a lively and sociable person, eager to share her thoughts. She was affectionate and warm towards others, particularly since she began dating Mason (ignoring any previous conversations they had about it). She had panic attacks and was emotional. Mason was introverted, rarely opened up, and got jealous but never angry.
So naturally, seeing their dual personality, others found them cute. After 5 months, Mason contacted me to discuss their relationship. We were friends since we were 11. He said Hazel was a manipulative, lying girlfriend, with proof. She blackmailed and gaslighted him, making excuses during their conversations and later threatening to end the relationship. The situations gradually worsened: fat-shaming, maintaining bad habits, blaming and using Mason for money, and even hitting him - disguised as banter but causing significant harm, as he admitted. She won't change or try. Most arguments were digital, with deleted messages.
She gaslighted him, pretending to be the victim, for over 2 months, while he stayed quiet. She painted him as the villain. Whenever he hugged her, she would respond strangely, saying things like "please don't hit me!" This was odd because Mason grew up in a strict family where he was taught never to harm women, although I can't confirm that. Despite our closeness, he has support her. Eventually, they broke up, suggested by her. She is still sad over their breakup and constantly harasses him, causing him to stop coming to school.
Now, the recent situation is Hazel's ED and panic attacks. Last month, Hazel excused herself from class, feeling exhausted and weak. About to faint.After class, she stumbled towards his class,calling his name. This occurred 3-5 months post-breakup. People sought Mason's assistance for her, but he declined. After all, in his times of need no one believed him which I would believe is because he is a male, and this was Mason's first visit in a month due to a medical issue and Hazel discovered from their group chat that Mason was able to come in the next day. Now, as a result of his decision not to help her, he faces pressure from friends and others who claim that Hazel's problems are due to his actions.Is his feelings valid gng??

Advice for large debt
Over the last year I have made some poor choices with my credit cards. My wife cannot work due to mental health reasons and recently was in an inpatient facility also. All of my cc we’re maxed, my 17k American Express, 17k Barclays, 16k BofA, 10k Capital One and another 6k BofA and I have 50k remaining on my SoFi loan. All of these combined I was paying monthly about $1800 in credit cards and $1250 on my SoFi loan. This is way more than I can handle on my income of $2200 net per paycheck. I used my 401k and did a 17k loan, then withdrew the remaining 17k stating medical hardship. After taxes on the withdrawal, that gave me 13k more. I was able to pay off my 10k Capital One cc and 16k of my American Express, I had to save the rest for our rent. I did debt management with American Consumer Credit Counseling which will help me with the Barclays and the large BofA cc. ACCC said SoFi will not do debt management and my loan is too new for any assistance SoFi provides. With the help from ACCC it brought those two cc payments to $692 total a month. Now I have $1250 SoFi, $692 ACCC and $60 on the small BofA card. This is still putting me in the negative monthly. I did have another part time graveyard job at Walmart to supplement my income but after 3 months of that it burned me out where my day job was affected.
I am considering a debt settlement or full default on my SoFi loan, but that’s where it gets more complicated. I have a TS clearance for my job and according to my security officer, defaults over 10k are bad for my clearance and I could potentially lose it. Without my clearance I cannot do my job and would be fired. I have been upfront with my security officer since January and this week they suggested I draft a statement explaining what has happened to put me in this situation and what I am doing to remedy it. If I default or do debt settlement on my SoFi even though I’ve been upfront with my security officer js my clearance still at risk of being revoked? Has anyone had any experience with debt settlement while having a security clearance? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,
I'm in the interview process with an FQHC primary care center, starting pay would be $20/hr (same as I make currently, planning to negotiate up which they said was possible).
Has anyone worked at an FQHC before, especially in primary care? If so, are there any big pros or cons for medical assistants in that setting? I know it differs by place, but am looking for advice based on your experiences.
