Titles for drug abuse essays

Hi my sister (Female,18) had my mom cosign for a car when she was 16 she has been making those payments ever since right now we are not on speaking terms with her due to an active CPS case and her losing the kids. She’s trying to take my sister’s car out of pettiness because we’re helping my dad out on getting the kids out of foster care since he’s also a victim of her domestic abuse. She’s a narcissist and manipulative and she’s trying to control us in every way possible and now of course, with my sister’s car.. she made a comment to my dad today saying the car is gonna be hers and that she’s taking it. Is there anything we can do? The title is under her name, but my sister has been paying all the car payments and the insurance she tried to change the title to her name, but they were charging her an insane amount. Also, I would like to include that she’s about $1000 away from finishing paying off the car and the reason she doesn’t want to just give it up. It’s because she’s paid the whole thing.

going to keep vague as possible, as i don’t want people getting mad for sharing my opinion lol. probably going to be long my apologies.
so basically my sisters pregnant again. which isn’t necessarily bad but i don’t think it’s the best idea. at the end of the day it’s not my life she’s an adult and can make her own choices so i don’t really care what she does. i’m just very wary on how kids grow up (i came from a great family, but my parents weren’t very emotionally available it was more financially more on that later) im not going around being like get rid of it to her and i get kids are a touchy subject. she’s my sister and i love her, of course im willing to help and all that i just feel like she’s doing stuff she doesn’t have to be if that makes sense.
one of my other siblings got mad at me the other day when we were talking abt our sisters situation and i gave my opinion to them again. i was told i should keep my opinion to myself and just be happy for them.
i just don’t think financially and mentally it’s the best for them or the kids but this is my opinion that i shared privately with parents and other siblings not involved. she’s got a kid already, and her situation has improved since having her first child (very proud of her for being better for her kid) but not to the point where i think it’s smart to have more. love that she’s in a place where she thinks it’ll be great and i love that she’s found someone and all that truly am so happy for her. i just feel she’s so rushing when waiting would be such a better choice. but here’s why i think waiting would be better.
her and her partner maybe make 100k together which by all means is not bad at all. her partner makes most of it, so another kid means either she stays home full time and partner works more or they both work and pay for childcare which makes no sense with the price of that these days. they do have debt. along with the fact that they have a roommate (i think the roommate is more dependant on them then they are on the roommate but still). the roommate makes it literally 10x worse. their house is AWFUL it’s full of pets and the three adults in the house do not do laundry and the roommate keeps bringing in more animals. unfortunately from what i’ve heard they also don’t take the best care of the animals, i’ve heard they have cats and they rarely empty the litter boxes. leading to overflowing boxes. dishes pile up and all that (i personally have not seen the house in person as im a neat freak but i’ve seen it in the background on facetime and the like). that scares me as my current nephew/niece is a toddler and could easily ingest something they shouldn’t.
they also haven’t really left the party stage, again it’s gotten better. but any chance for a festival or concert and u bet they’re going (not knocking them for having fun but priorities) and it’s not like they live super close to help (family) so they either have to get a sitter as the roommate will go with them or (this has happened A LOT used to happen more but still) a post will go up asking if anyone on their socials will be able to take care of my nephew/niece for the day/night. which of course it’s not like they’d have a stranger watch the kid but that just feels so irresponsible to me. i get spending the money ahead of time and maybe plans changing w the babysitter or whatever but still. UR ASKING SOCIAL MEDIA TO WATCH UR KID. gotta do what u gotta do i guess but again for a concert? really. along with the parties comes drugs which scares me as our family has bad history with it. and so does she, she has a history of addiction so i don’t think her still doing that is good even if she’s dialled it back.
don’t get me wrong i know my sister loves her kid and would do everything she could to give them the world and keep them safe. i just can’t stop thinking about, as she stated to me “i love them but baby name wasn’t as worth it as i thought it’d be”. drunk off her rocker less than 5 months ago(child was home with family).
again im not saying any of this to her, this is just conversation between family that still lives at home and everytime we talk about her situation none of them really care. a lot of this is in my head stuff. im just worried for my nieces and nephews. as i know how much childhood stuff can affect kids myself.
going back to me again i grew up in honestly a great house. my parents weren’t perfect but they tried. my dads high functioning autistic and would work ALL THE TIME so we grew up pretty much with a single mom (they didn’t divorce just always working) who drank at least 2-3 bottles of wine a week. she did everything she could and protected us and all that but she had 3 kids each 2 years apart that’s a lot to deal with alone (we also moved a lot which didn’t help her). so she wasn’t the most calm or patient taking care of 3 infants by herself. our house was lovely but again three kids so not the cleanest most of the time etc etc etc. again i love my parents i know they did the absolute best they could and they love and care for us all deeply but it effected all of us. i have countless stories of me going to the top of the stairs during arguments and stuff like that (my dads not abusive but they’d yell a lot especially as kids to us and each other) i know we all have trauma (even if one doesn’t wanna admit it lol) and we should all probably be in therapy (tried bringing that up and was told “no need for outsider perspectives”).
a lot of stuff happened to us that messed with us and it seems my sisters repeating the cycle which just makes me sad. i know there no perfect time to have kids and i love that she’s doing better now that she’s got one, but just seeing them struggle as much already with the one they have and then making more seems so silly to me. don’t get me wrong i think the first kid was a great idea. yes they’re struggling but they can make due with the one. physically, i don’t think they can do more than the one they’ve got. cause as great of a job as they’re doing with it (they do try, like it’s clear my niece/ nephew is loved by their parents) but everyone has limits right and again the energy for just the one is a lot for them. not even to mention financials. again not my circus not my monkeys it’s not like it really effects me so i don’t care that much. im not losing sleep over it yk. it just saddens me to see all the struggle that could have been avoided on the parent side (my sister) and the kids. had they just taken another year or two let my nephew/niece get a bit older and them gain more parenting experience, get a house by themselves instead of renting with the roommate, grow up a little chore wise and maybe even pay the debt off so they can focus on the kids.
again im not saying any of this to her just sharing with others in the family as they’re also talking about all of her other struggles. i wasn’t saying i won’t be there to help or anything like that. just threw me off that me saying “do they really think having the seconds the best decision right now?” was taken like that by my family and i wanted to see what others think. i know their kids will be loved but it takes more than that to raise a kid, im just worried that everyone involved is not going to have the best shot because its rushed.
AITHA for thinking waiting woulda been smarter for both the adults and kids in this situation and voicing that opinion in a private setting?

Background Info: I (stupidly) got back with my abusive and cheating boyfriend. I had to move back in with my mom a few months ago so our physical contact has been limited. I was hanging on to the hope that if I stuck around that he would eventually pay me back the almost 10,000 dollars he owes me and to spend time with his dog who I love. I thought we could work through previous issues and things would improve. (I am an idiot)
Last week I had the opportunity to go over and spend time with the dog and see how the garden I planted last year was doing. I stayed overnight and the next day he spent mostly sleeping because he has been working overnights. I then (stupidly) looked through his unlocked phone. He had changed his passcode because of how I found out about all of the cheating in the first place. I saw it unlocked and I just went for it despite knowing that I would hate what I saw. Turns out it was way worse than I thought. Not only is he screwing many different men and women, buying drugs or attempting to, but also using pictures of us/me to do these things. The pictures I saw he used CLEARLY show my face and I have never ever consented to him sharing these pictures with anyone, let alone with STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET.
I took a picture of one message exchange but I was so sick to my stomach I couldn't look anymore. I read the law regarding Pennsylvania's revenge porn but I am not clear on whether this falls into that category. Can anyone clarify that for me? What would be the first thing I do if I wanted to pursue this legally? I don't particularly want to get near him again to obtain more evidence because I am honestly scared of him and his disgusting behaviors. Do I need a lawyer? Honestly any advice is welcome, I am a mess right now and need logical advice. I have no idea how many people now have access to these photos and I do not want anymore to be used. I am horrified that one of my many redditor friends will find me on one of the porn reddits.. Here is the info on revenge porn in PA:

I am married, and have a 7 year age gap between my husband and I. We met when I had just turned 18, as I had Tinder in the city I moved to in college and he was in a post-grad program nearby.
We didn't really intend to start dating seriously, just hook-up but it morphed into a serious relationship. He even mentioned I was the youngest partner he had ever had and at times seemed embarrassed by it. Now I am the age he was when he met me and I can't help but feel grossed out by our relationship. I work with teenagers around 18, and cannot imagine engaging in a romantic/sexual relationship with amyone younger than 21 honestly.
It's been making me feel really depressed. My husband isn't at all abusive, nor do I feel taken advantage of in the traditional sense. He's never held me back from doing what I wanted to in life. When we married he helped me pay for the rest of my degree (reducing my debt by like ~20k), and is encouraging me to apply to grad programs that interest me. He works from home so there is no pressure for me to only apply to jobs or programs in the city we live in now. If I wanted to move he would follow me. He helps take care of my parents. He's never done anything I've been uncomfortable with sexually. He doesn't use social media and has never been unfaithful. He cooks and cleans and works very hard to provide for our household. We don't have kids, and don't plan on having any for another good 5-10 years or so, but I think he would be a good father. He'a very family-oriented and is very respectful to his own family. He's taken me on lovely vacations and given me beautiful clothes and jewlery and whatever books I could want. He's given me non-material gifts as well, such as love letters and cards.
I think he is generally a good person. He has some flaws but nothing out of the ordinary. He gets mad and we argue but it's nothing that is out of the ordinary for most couples. He would probably kill himself if he ever raised a hand at me honestly. He's straight edge and dislikes drinking and drugs - at worst he has a cigarette habit he's trying to kick. I've never felt abused or mistreated.
But seeing all these think pieces on reddit and tiktok and other apps about how bizarre and creepy age gaps are has me stressed and confused about whether our relationship was ultimately good for me. I don't really think I missed out in life because of my relationship like other people have said their age gap relationships have caused. I honestly think I hit the jackpot in terms of partners but now that I look at the kids I work with, I feel really uncomfortable and weirded out by the idea that he saw someone that age and was attracted to them. I'm not really sure how to process these feelings.

I am 22 months post DDay from my husbands infidelity. All my childhood abuse came right up to the surface. What ? I have CPTSD ?
I finally feel like my true healing started about 4 months ago, in spite of the shit show that life kept throwing at me. Finally addressing my CPTSD that I never knew I had. The worst possible things happened over the past 2 years, most of which stemmed from his sex addiction & infidelity. Jesus. There are days when I feel like I’m healing and then I get smacked upside the head with a brick and I have to ask myself…”why “. Jesus Christ. “Why me ? Isn’t it enough ?” Despite all odds I did everything the right way. I fought through decades of child abuse, I forged ahead. I didn’t get addicted to drugs. I didn’t seek my body for money. I fought like hell for everything I have and for everything I achieved. I was the better person. I wasn’t mean, or cruel, or hateful. And then my husband is a sex addict and I nearly lose my sanity, my entire world, my kid, my entire family, my job, my “friends”, and my safety & security. I’m everyone’s punching bag. I’m one of the last few good people who truly cares and this is despite all the abuse I suffered as a child. Why me ?
What do I keep going forward ? Why do bad things keep happening to good people ? Why do I keep trying ? Isn’t it enough ? God dammit. There are days I just want to say “f*ck you” to the entire world.

Winona county pre-petitioned commitment after I made 5 911 calls to Winona county police fearing that my mom was being held hostage and wouldn’t come home to help me because somebody stole my cars keys and there was no food in the house and somebody dropped food off at my house (never saw them) as I was given a bad cut. During this time someone came into the house and stole my shit and then returned. My neighbor has no outlet so I chased the suspected person working for the police as my neighbors assuming they called the police after they saw me block the thief unable to to run me over as I stood in the road. The police returned my shit some time later as I was confused by everything I was glad I had my wax back which is 100% legal oddly my shit was back too. It was pure bath salts because I went crazy after that. I chanted to hell because I knew the police told me mom I was too dangerous to be around and I’m sure they wanted to send a drug that would make me susceptible to delusional thoughts thinking it would become permanent. The state has been committing me since 2017 for bogus reasons. After they had the evidence of me making 5 911 phones they tried to commit me but since I went bat shit crazy, I left the house thinking I was being poisoned by radon by all the smoke in there. I was swatted in cannons falls where I was being stalked by people and backed into a stalker in the parking lot. It was someone who saw me in psychosis and wanted to check on me but called the sheriff and 10 sqaud cars were sent. I had around 8 grams in 4 different buckets and bath salts on me in my car at the time. The swat team didn’t take it and I was in the fetal position of a squad car and they sent me to Mayo Clinic for mental illness. Let me tell you I backed into somebody’s car in a parking lot. My car was not damaged. A crowd of people saw me terrified as I heard orders and a count down to shoot me if I stepped out of the car. I had a small seizure in the ER as I don’t get the help I need because they won’t give me Ativan and instead antipsychotics which never help. While I was in the psych ward my memory of this was clear. I recorded videos of myself to remember what happened plus I gained my memory back. And Mayo Clinic doctors Dr. Roth said he was not going to commit me. Dr. Roth knows went to the same university I did, harder to get into than U ofM. The sheriff went into generose would go to the psych ward and ask the patients questions and my doctor told him to get the fuck out of there as he didn’t have to serve papers to anyone. We couldn’t figure out what he was investigating. Many patients there were my age and even someone from Egypt was suspiciously being detained and said he was there against his will. He did not have a last name because it didn’t translate, his wrist band only said Salem. He expressed his idea for peace in the Middle East and said make Jerusalemits own city state. Later the nurses said he was going home but later changed their minds and said they were sending him to a different ward instead. Obviously detained for reasons biased to his political views because people abusing the position of power to continue to administer medication after being offended as they were in opposition to what is happening in the Middle East. Jews and Somalis decided if this Arab man from Egypt was crazy. A woman from Africa who didn’t understand English and needed a translator was being civilly committed with a court order to take antipsychotic neuroleptics after she been struggling after divorce. She said the voices she heard were only coming from here guilty conscience as she was expressing she was misunderstood by the doctor and didn’t need help, but it was l through a translator who was speaking for her. Many of the other people there didn’t have real problems and would voluntarily sign in to the psych ward believing the bullshit that pills fix problems and stayed less than a week. The nurses ask stupid questions like if we are depressed and suicidal and oddly ask if we could spell lunch backwards which indicates high functioning cognitive functioning in a particular area of the brain which will help the nursing staff know the patient hasn’t fried the brain and can recognize symbols better than average suggesting the cognitive functioning has not deteriorated to the degree of permanent brain damage or permanent delusions. Drug induced Psychosis is ruled out. I could spell lunch backwards the fallowing day and could recognize reality going forward with my life without medication. Three weeks ago I went to the hospital after a police officer in Duluth reported that I was disorganized and told saint Luke’s. I asked for help after becoming ill suddenly and extremely nauseous. I had no where to go. I asked to be treated for hep c or hiv which they did but also sent me to the psych ward where again the doctor committed me and pre-petition an order from the court that’s I go to treatment and take antipsychotics for 6 months. After being through this process 3 times in less than a year I knew to say I voluntarily go to treatment to the court examiners in Winona county. The didn’t proceed with the doctors order. I have been in the psych ward for a total of 4 months and I have good teeth and don’t think treatment helps people like me. I’m tired of people saying I need to go to treatment. I’m tired of people calling the cops on me because I’m high. I’m tired of police dictating my life making up bogus excuses old their job is to recognize mental health issues when all I needed was to go to sleep. Oregon is where I need to go, fuck this GEN I have millennial problems that we can figure out ourselves on our own. Poverty of some kind is my problem and I need to go live in a better state for millennials.

I’m mixed with 4 different things but come out more black presenting if that makes sense with yellow skin and curly hair. Unfortunately, I’ve had the unpleasant multiple experiences of attracting weird black people especially the dark skin black ones (and recently a very very weird fair skin black guy who felt the need to approve and prove his blackness by constantly using the n word (which I don’t even use) and acting like a stereotype, felt the need to comment on my appearance over and over again , how I look blasian and would not stop even after I would say that I am not blasian?l and went in on skin colour (even though he is much lighter than I am?????) ). I find that in my experiences, I find that a good amount of black people especially men as I am a man myself in university, tend to not like me. I do get the death stares , looked at side ways, looked at up and down , sometimes they would kiss their teeth at me or even spit on the floor after looking at me.
At university events , I find that many dark skin black men particularly in non academic events (so the studious bunch aren’t there but more the party sociable people) tend to exclude me and not include me. I almost have to make extra conscious effort just to be included. I don’t like it and so this leaves my being excluded from much socializing with dark skin black men as they form their own groups with other dark skin black men or occasionally will accept a white or Asian guy as their friend (occasionally their friends are largely dark skin black men but if there’s a female they welcome different shades of women) but I am left out especially as i am guessing that it is because I do not at all conform to the black man stereotype if you get what I mean. The stereotype of barely able to speak well (a number of people have actually said I am well spoken) , dressing very street with a durag , taper cut / fades , doing drugs, listening only to hip hop/rap (I sometimes listen to Spanish and French rock and I had one dark skin black guy tell me that black people don’t listen to rock? I listen to all types of music but mostly afrobeats , amapiano , French hip hop / RnB (I go to school in an anglophone area, so many don’t listen to French stuff here), rock, Moroccan music etc).
The way I dress is a mixture of kind of preppy kind of casual , more on the well put together refined side if that makes sense (even when it’s more street there’s a difference between how they dress and how I dress if that makes sense). These guys often tend to dress more street if that makes sense and I don’t know why but when I am in their setting , there’s already a dislike they have towards me and they often would rather speak to a white or Asian guy and not speak to me even if we are all new there. Or sometimes if they do speak to me, they see that I am not a stereotype and the conversation will die out quickly.
With black women i tend to find that dark skin black women socialize with me more than lighter skin or mixed race black women. In these encounters there’s often a conversation about hair , some outright vocally say, I wish I had your hair or feel the need to comment about my hair ? Some are rude and hostile towards me for no reason , I can just meet some and I am dealing with attitude from the get go which is annoying for me especially as someone who comes from a background of having a narcissistic abusive family , attitude is not something I like dealing with people right off the bat. It’s definitely a lot more of a pleasant experience than dealing with a lot of black men. I find that dealing with a number of black people, I am more likely to get along with the women over the men, but as a whole I feel like many black people do not like me , I don’t get along with many I tend to meet (with the exception of the ones who are straight from Africa and haven’t been westernized much if at all, those ones are a lot better encounters for me).
Any insights ? Has anyone else also experienced this as well or no?

Just saying hi to everyone!!! I’m 71 days sober today all on my own! Happy to join. Been struggling with cravings. My short story. Came from a home with a dad using drugs. Mom didn’t start drinking until dads use got so bad it turned her to drinking in my teens. I never drank heavy, I’d say the average young adult, drinking on weekends and socially. After my divorce 4 years ago suffering from intense emotional and verbal abuse, I took our daughter and left! I was so happy! I unfortunately got a DWI 4 years ago (daughter was with her dad) and then my dad who had gotten sober, passed. Work was awful, covid hit (I’m a nurse) and we lost our contracts and with it my job. New position at next job was worse, drinking got very heavy. Barely functioning and two more DWIs later. Here I am. Obviously can’t drink due to my pre trial probation…but my rock bottom was that 3rd DWI. I thank God everyday I didn’t ever wreck or hurt anyone. Drinking had become a daily event so now I’m looking for things to fill my time. Reading, cleaning..work obviously! I’m glad to be here, and to make any friends!

The word of the Experienced
Guidelines on bullying in Western Pennsylvania School Districts
Teach your sons to abuse other boys. Molesting them if need be.
The boys who are molested will have to deal with it in therapy.
They will be ostracized by their peers.
They will suffer all the more
A young boy when properly abused and sexually hazed will be unable to think properly and consider all around him to be out to get him.
It makes it easier then to paint him as a schizophrenic.
They will be laughed at and scoffed at by your women and humiliated. It's like you've painted on your enemy a red letter A as a kid. Imagine trying to manage all those feelings as a kid. HAHA! He'll never have a chance.
It's funny too. Through and through. We do this because we can get away with it and we marry and have children all over the state of PA. Our wives and girlfriends they never find out. No one ever knows. But we just blame the victim and when they get angry, we'll just string em up.
After your sons sexually abuse him, make sure that you and your neighbors team up on his family members and call HIM and THEM the strange one's. After all, they adopted children from another country and raised them here. What a weakness.
Orphans. Next to trash.
Their mothers will make a mockery of it. Remember this in how you raise your young men. Molest other boys if need be so that you can conquer them easier. Whenever the victim seeks to rise out of the place of their abuse, paint them as a madman and a shooter. That if they fight back they’ll be like a columbine shooter. This way you can control them while your sons abuse them psychologically. Don’t worry, it’s nothing new. This is what happened to a boy I knew in Pittsburgh, Pa. We had our way with him promptly and he grew up this way. He never healed and he was kicked around by people endlessly until around thirty one. Never saved more than fifteen thousand dollars and was completely disabled because of the sexual abuse and hazing we caused him as a boy. He was an orphan. We made sure as a young man that we drugged him well enough with a bunch of friends that gave him drugs and treated him less than he was worth. He was middle class so we made sure to get him after he was sexually abused as a ten year old and fifteen to be around the wrong crowd so we could make him estranged from the family that cared about him. Of course, he wasn’t able to make friends after ten because the kids on the bus of the school he went to were all touching each others privates, but whenever it came out that they did it they all just blamed the orphan boy and he took the fall for the whole neighborhood. That’s exactly what we did to him. It was pretty funny to see him grow up this way, we watched as his entire life fell apart and he lost everything. Never able to find sanity. From what I heard after our sons had their way with him sexually and drugged and abused him he never got any better. Every time people saw him the only thing they would do is stare at him, like he was a kind of example of what happens when you’re an orphan bastard in America. You get what white power brings to orphans from another country, nobody wanted him so we made sure to make it that way forever. We redneck trash love to blur the lines between molestation and friendship. It makes the most sense to us to inspire severe mental health issues in children and then act like nothing happened. We’re waiting for him to kill himself. We’re excited to watch. Oh another thing, there’s a judge in Allegheny country we’ve been using who was selling cocaine and harassing young boys. We kept him on the stand for many years.
We’ll get away with this forever. It’s funny to watch.
What's more to us is that we have control of most of Western Pennsylvania. The young boy orphan who we know always did try to fight back. We loved sending the police to his house while our sons got away with sexually assaulting him, drugging him, and abusing him. He played sports with him so we made sure that the cops son definitely got to fondle his testicles against his will. Whenever he got angry and threatened to fight back or act like he was gonna shoot someone we just would send the cops dad to his house to "calm him down" a little while we all got away with it. The funniest part was watching his mother and father turn against this kid. They didn't even want that idiot anymore, they just wanted to throw the boy out and put him in a psych ward because they just thought he was a complete and total fuck up. After all he was the weak one for getting molested right? He was the fuck up for being sexually hazed and keeping quiet right? Not much of a man that fifteen year old boy was huh? While the people in Allegheny county all just act like it's nothing new. We like how we abuse our young boys out here especially the orphans from other countries.
How we relished this cute twinks pain. We loved telling him he was a saintly figure. "Saint --------------" we called him. It was funny to watch, all his friends convincing him it was his job to be like a holy figure. While they took advantage of him, drugged him, and ruined his relationship with his mother. He would take the trays up for the kids and especially the cops son who would touch his dick, by his junior year he didn't know the difference between being molested anymore and just being a willing participant. It's like the kid hadn't a single clue but the whole rest of the school and staff knew but, just because he was an orphan they chose to not do anything. After all, an orphan boy? It's like nothing happens to them. They aren't people after all especially if they're from another country. It was really enjoyable overall watching this kid lose everything. Last I heard he spent nine years tortured, night terrors every night. Disability.
Ah well. Keep Pennsylvania Proud.
Go Stillers!
He goes on. Unseen and unheard. But we know the truth.
(Based on the screwtape letters and real events)

so I’ve been in this relationship for about five years and it’s completely ruined My emotional health. I have zero self-esteem and confidence I feel unattractive af like that weird guy thaat nobody would ever want to be around. Just a nobody ass dweeb… the first thing to happen was the cheating it would happen repetitively. Then along came the suspect fucking lies and all around shadiness. then the shit talking behind my back to my own people, that I introduced her to . I’ve done told this girl some of my most personal secrets that I’ve never told anybody. That’s how much I thought I could trust her, she was super convincing in the beginning but then you’re not around her and she is dogging on me telling everybody everything that was posed to be between her and I and most t of these people are supposed to be my friends. she was brand new to the group and I have to hear that she told them all this crazy shit so yeah I don’t know how to act anymore. Im mad af. I’m hurt af and i’m lonely af. I’m always depressed and paranoid. I’ve never been like this before i met her I used to be abused as a kid getting emotionally and physically abused but I got over that when I was a teenager and now I’m right back to where I was back then. she slowly been breaking me down and making me feel worthless and I’m at the point where I don’t know what to about it. because I feel like I just stay with her just because I know that I’m not able to have a normal if I’m alone life is gonna be hell having to deal with drugs addiction I just got out of prison and I’m super scared ’m gonna get back to using again to get that comfort back that nobody else seems to be able to give me the drugs never have a bad side to them I numb myself and forget about every thing I’ve been dealing with a lot of gaslighting from her lately. She lies when I know what’s going on. I bring it up to her like all this shit that I’m like fairly confident she Doing and she just blames it on me being high all the time lol I have Asperger’s too so I’m already an emotional freight train. So now when I got out of prison, i set up my new phone and my phone history was setting it back verything that I was thinking she was doing g all alongs all the fucking shady shit fucking doing shit behind my back and then putting up a bunch of spyware to hide it before I can fucking see it because we would share a phone tofether and that’s all happening to me with people that are in my circle . We have a joint nsfw Reddit account where we post nudes and shit and for some reason she has stopped talking to me about anything going on on it I thought she stopped using it and I see on there that she just gone on her own, talking to local couples on there, basically excluding me even though me and her were doing this shit from the get go her thing can only assume that she just doesn’t find me attractive anymore always complaining about shit all these fucking credits about fucking about our relationship being dead our sex life being terrible even though we fuck almost every day multiple times a day same as we used too it’s just a bunch of crazy shit that she’s liking on there that’s a big slap of disrespect but she ain’t gonna bringing it up to me. She’s fucking going down behind my fucking back talking about it with random people so that’s super shitty. Yeah on the 24th she’s coming home so I’m trying to figure out what your opinions are of all this before I freak out bunch of shit that might not even be my best interest to say I’ve only time I’ve ever cheated on her when she did it four times and I feel like I had an obligation to her. I’m fucking fucking man and pushover so I had to do it. I didn’t even fucking enjoy it because I’ve changed. I used to be super and all that shit but I slow down. I actually wanted to relationship with this girl and I thought she did to us. She told me at least, but for John, I’ve been nothing but good or I’ve given her her house and she was homeless. I’ve given her food taking care of her phones. Everything to stay true I was sure was a house all the time all the time never before I’ve been cheated on before the past is like purposely made to break me down or something. I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I don’t wish on my worst sent me. Let me know what you think you have any questions. Let me know. I know this is all over the place I’m using talk to speech to text app.

As the title says, I had noticed a significant deterioration in this area over the years. In the past, when seeing a new clinician, for example, this probably wouldn't even be included in my list of grievances when describing my symptoms. However, these days, upon hearing (what my brain interprets to be) a loud, unexpected noise, I jump in place, gasp, and am left with a racing of both heart (physically) and mind (shame, frustration) for a considerable amount of time.
I was wondering if this has any known correlation/connection to any of the following: - Electroconvulsive therapy. - Past, continious abuse of hard drugs. - Endocrine disease.
Thanks.

Me (M21) and my best friend (F20) have been friends for almost 6 years now. We are so close that my mother considers her a “favorite child” out of me and my other siblings.
*pre context*.
My friend has had many family struggles growing up. there are too many struggles to list but the main ones are,
divorced/absent parents, alcoholic parents, gang member brothers and sisters, family members in and out of jail, family drug abuse, just to name a few. (Basically anything bad that you can think of she’s been through it). And as you can imagine she has never had a stable home environment since birth. BUT! she is not like any of her family, her personality is very sweet and "good hearted", her main goal at all times is to make everyone happy even at the expense of her own happiness.
her siblings:
^{mother- not sure of her age, major alcoholic, absent, history of drug use, manipulative
father- absent, alcoholic,
youngest brother- 28y/o, felon/gang member, 0 education, currently lives in the oldest sisters basement with his 8mo pregnant wife, super manipulative with love bombing and charm.
2nd youngest sister- 26y/o, 4 kids, 4 time felon, prostitute/escort, gang member, 0 education, currently pregnant with twins in prison for her 4th felony, very erratic and violent, suffers from BPD.
oldest brother- 34y/o, no kids, sort of has his life together, a distant history of criminal charges, has done his best to turn his life around, does not keep in contact with any of his family unless of emergencies.
oldest sister- 29y/o, 1 kid, has a husband, no criminal history, co-owns a legitimate business with the youngest brother, Considered the "nerd" of the family because she was more into books/reading rather than drugs/drinking, she uses the fact that she’s known to be the "smartest in the family" to manipulate her siblings into doing what she suggests.}
heres the situation
In the year of 2022 my friend became super depressed living in our very small hometown and desperately needed a change of scenery. so in desperation she got back into contact with her oldest sister and youngest brother.. Whenever my friend reached out to her siblings, they were in desperate need of employees for their business; up until this point they had been running it all by themselves with small bits of help from close friends. The second my friend contacted them they started love bombing her and filling her head with all of these ideas of them being a family again while simultaneously sneaking in different ways to offer her a job at their business and promising her a wage that she couldn’t refuse...
After about a month they eventually convinced her to move across the US to live with them and work at their establishment. I knew something wasn’t right from the very beginning, but the topic of a dysfunctional family is tricky whenever your only just a friend..Nonetheless i tried my best to support her because she was finally starting to seem less depressed and more excited/giddy about her future. she moved up there with a plan in mind that she was only going to stay for a couple months; just long enough to make some money and figure out what she wanted to do in life, and then move off and pursue whatever it was she wanted to do.
Her first couple of months after the move were amazing, she moved in with her siblings and made new friends, hung out with her siblings, worked, partied, etc.. she was having a blast.. UNTIL her siblings were reluctant to pay her the wage that they had promised her, because they knew that she wasn’t confrontational enough to say anything about it.
fastforward
Now its been 2-1/2 years since she’s moved down there and she’s worse off now than before she moved. once the new wore off, things started changing with her siblings dynamic. her oldest sister became the "dictator" of the household by "suggesting" things for my friend to do and then making her feel guilty when she didn’t take her suggestions. and her youngest brother slowly started to become more sneaky and manipulative with the words he used.
*older sister real life manipulation example:*
older sister: " i think you should start coming into work on Sundays" my friend: "no thank you, Sunday is one of my only days off" older sister: *refuses to talk to my friend for days/weeks* my friend: "did i do something wrong? we haven’t spoken in forever?" older sister: "thats not true, Im just starting to wonder why you ever came up here in the first place."
*youngest brother real life manipulation example:*
youngest brother: *does some snaky shit behind my friends back* my friend: *confronts and questions him on if he’s being honest and truthful towards her* youngest brother: "Im your family i cant believe you would even think about questioning my loyalty!" youngest brother: *sends my friend 30$ on cashapp to help make her feel better*
Now it has gotten to the point where my friend hates living there and is distraught/depressed but has no option but to stay because of her financial situation. And every time an altercation happens with her siblings they manipulate her into feeling bad. Her siblings crutch 100% on the whole "were family" or "bloods thicker than water" bullshit and it pisses me off. They repeatedly disregard her feelings and boundaries and use the excuse that "their family" and you have to be loyal to family no matter what, except for the fact that they haven’t been loyal to her at all.
Ive tried talking to her about this and about how the way they are treating her isn’t right or fair, but every time i bring it up she tells me Im disrespecting her family..
i don’t know what to do or how to approach this anymore, i feel that one wrong word in a conversation about this could end a 6 year friendship with someone that i consider apart of my own family.
(ive tried to be as descriptive as possible but it is hard to fit 2 years worth of bullshit into a reddit post)
TLDR: my friend got finessed/manipulated by her older siblings to move across the US and come work for them, only to be guilt tripped and walked-over once she moved down there.

Title. Words cannot express just how ungodly pissed at him I am currently. I don’t even want to call him my grandfather anymore. Thinking about him just makes me see red. My grandma was diagnosed with PLS (primary lateral sclerosis) in 2015, currently is bedridden and nearing the end of her life. She’s been in and out of the hospital for the last couple years due to various complications and that motherfucker has still been screwing a MARRIED WOMAN behind her back! I don’t even want to visit anymore because I know I’d lose my shit at him the instant he tried to talk to me. My mom has already lost it at him multiple times. I just need to write this down somewhere.
We found out about the affair 8 years ago in 2016. My mom went to the other woman (we’ll just say A)’s job, requested to speak to her, was kicked out, and A was fired because she was more trouble than she was worth. We thought it was over until now. Apparently she broke it off in February and my grandpa’s been harassing her over the phone. She did something on May 8 (unsure what, she won’t say even in police statements) and my grandpa went to her job and made a shit ton of threats. A lost her job (again) because of this. A’s husband came to their house the next day, pulled a gun on him, and took his rifle, so now the cops are involved which makes everything SO much worse. A now has a protection of abuse order on my grandpa, but we know he won’t follow it because he has dementia and he’ll forget.
The worst part? My grandpa has given every last drop of their fucking money and savings to her. They NEED that money. PLS is a crazy rare and complicated disease and as my grandma has been worsening over the years they’ve needed to pay for more and more treatments and outfit the house to accommodate her disabilities. The house was already paid off and they had to take out another mortgage on it. My mom sold their car as a last-ditch attempt to get something set up for them. We can’t afford constant in-home care (which they need) and they refuse to go to a nursing home, so my mom goes over there every day before and after work and does everything they need on top of 10+ hour shifts. And apparently A’s husband approved of the affair because they were getting money out of it!! I can’t fathom the fucking cruelty you would need to harbor to even think about doing that. I don’t know what’s worse: cheating on your disabled wife for 17 years and giving away all your savings, or taking money from a married man with dementia who has a DISABLED WIFE AT HOME.
I’m so done. I just needed to say this somewhere. Thanks if you read this far

As title says.
I got a second opinion scheduled and it’s 4 weeks away. The doctor that I’m scheduled with has horrific reviews everyone online. Claims of abuse, not listening to patients, being rude/condescending, that he shouldn’t be licensed and most of the reviews are from workers comp patients, as stated in the reviews.
I am terrified to see this doctor for a second opinion. Can I call my lawyer and ask for a different doctor before I waste my time waiting to see this doctor and he just shuts me down?

MEGAN: There is no hope when Billie Elish is the voice of gen Z.
CHRIS: I like her songs. She is gifted.
MEGAN: Just Name three song that she has sung.
CHRIS: Bad guys, no times to die from James bond soundtrack, and there is this song that I watched on MTV her dancing with her girlfriends… it’s on the tip of my tongue I think it’s titled Happier than ever.
MEGAN: That’s a totally different song. The song that you are talking about is lost cause… from the album Happier than ever.
CHRIS: At least, I got the album right.
MEGAN: Okay. Give me the first two line of the lyrics from Bad guys or no times to die.
CHRIS: I am not good at lyrics. But she is talented. She has a soulful voice.
MEGAN: Her songs are depressing. I can’t listen to it while I am cooking or driving to work. I will shoot myself in the head. She is the most overrated singer in the history of music. You know, I want to play songs that make me want to sing along, dance and fall in love… not throw up. She is the voice of our generation. It tells you a lot about the direction we are going. Generation Z in America don’t know what the fuck is going on in this world. They complain too much. They are faking it like Billie Eilish.
CHRIS: I think they are lost. They just want a voice to express their pain, confusion, frustration, and sadness. That’s all.
MEGAN: I know that. But when you listen to music, you want to hear something that resonates with your soul and brings joy to your heart. For example, if you listen to Diana Rose and the Supremes’ Baby love, or come see about me and Where did our love go, you will realize that music is dead with Billie Elish whispering that she’s not happy and talking about how her boyfriend is a loser. You know, you wonder what’s happening to music nowadays. Why is so bad? Billie Eilish and Labrinth singing Never Felt So Alone. It’s a setback for Labrinth from Jealous to Never so Alone. He was our hope. We all counted on him to save music. But he has begun to whisper like Billie Eilish. Everybody is following her footstep. Music Critics are falsely saying that Billie Elish is a trailblazer. She is changing music single handedly. So far, she has received 7 Grammy awards. She is only 21. Diana Rose has never won a grammy in her life. There seems to be something fishy going on. You are not supposed to sing in your head. It’s not real music. It’s MTV. You know, they said that video killed a radio star. But video killed music all together. Thanks to MTV. We get asses, boobs, and whispers instead of real music.
CHRIS: I like MTV. I grew up watching it. It changed how we see music forever. You know, music is not music without a music video. Nobody is going to listen to it if you didn’t put out an amazing music video like Thriller by Michael Jackson. I can’t even imagine what Thriller would have sounded like on a radio. It’s the greatest music video ever made. Every time I watch it, it’s new to me.
MEGAN: I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Thriller deserve special praise. It’s one of its kind. However, music died after the introduction of MTV. At least, they don’t make it like how they used to make it in 60s’.
CHRIS: That’s the golden age of music. It can never be replicated again. But who knows? Billie Eilish might change it if she gets her act together.
MEGAN: I can listen to Vision of love, honey, and fantasy by Mariah Carey or I will always love you and I have nothing by Whitney Houston or Rolling in the deep by Adele a million times over and over. But I can’t listen to Happier than ever more than 1 time. Maybe Ocean eyes and When the party is over. They are okay. But the rest is garbage. She is nowhere near to legendry female singers like Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, and Sinead O'Connor. You know, when you listen to Natural woman by Aretha Franklin or Celine Dion’s It's All Coming Back to Me Now or Because you loved me or nothing Compared to you by Sinead O'Connor, you get goosebumps. You are witnessing a soul exiting the human anatomy disguised in soundwave. It breezes through your skin, kiss your soul, and intertwine with your DNA before it rewrites the rhythm of your heart with a beautiful melody. You couldn’t help but cry, smile, sing, and fall in love with life whether it is wonderful or a bitch.
CHRIS: You have to give her credit the benefit of the doubt. At least, she writes her own lyrics. I mean, No disrespect to Diana Rose and Supremes, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Adele, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, and Sinead O'Connor. God bless her soul - Sinead O'Connor. She was an Angel disguised in fire. Her voice is from another world. When I listen to nothing compare to you, I get goosebumps, too. I have always been blown away by her voice. Don’t even get me started with Whitney Houston. She is an angel. When you listen to “I will always love you,” you know that God loves music more than he loves us. She was flawless. It should be illegal to sing like that. And Maria Carey will shatter the glass in your soul, cut your heart to millions of pieces, kiss it, and heals it without a scar. Your heart can’t help but grow wings, burst out of your chest and fly away. She is phenomenal. Celine Dian is in a different league, so was Aretha Franklin. Nobody can question their gifts. But Billie Eilish has brought hope to a lot of people
MEGAN: I feel like that you are playing the devil advocate for the sake of argument. What hope are you talking about? You haven’t even listened to a song that she sang. You watched her playing with her girlfriend in underwear. All of a sudden, you want to defend her. If you are going to defend her. Defend her from your heart. I know you can’t do it because you hate her songs, too.
CHRIS: That’s not it. Just give her a break. She has a beautiful voice. She just doesn’t want to disappoint her fans. Imagine if she sings I will always love you or vision of love. Her fans will accuse her of selling out.
MEGAN: Fuck her fans. They are fake anyway. They don’t know anything about music. She should not let them hold her back. They just want to see her wearing oversize baggies like a boy, who drops out of high school and who breaks his skating boards, and whisper like a wounded cat that got a fight with a Rottweiler and talk about fake pain, bad relationship, and girls standing up to abusive boyfriends. Even country music has more sense of humor than her.
CHRIS: I like country music.
MEGAN: Don’t get me started with country music. I don’t even know why it’s still alive. It should have died with Western movies long time ago. You know, I would rather listen to Disco and 90s’ electronic dance music than country music.
CHRIS: What’s wrong with 90s’ electronic dance music? DJs still play them at club.
MEGAN: That’s true. But you don’t want to get caught playing that shit in your car. People will look at you weird.
CHRIS: I still listen to What’s love by Hardaway and couldn’t help dancing.
MEGAN: I hear you. Life is not fair. You have songs that makes you want to dance. Before you know it, it goes out of fashion. You have country music talking about how hard they work and their wife living them for their brothers and how they just want to drink whiskey and forget about them.
CHRIS: Country music is not bad. They know how to tell stories. It’s definitely better than electronic dance music when it comes to lyrics.
MEGAN: Okay. name three countries songs and artists.
CHRIS: Dolly Parton.
MEGAN: Dolly Parton doesn’t count. She wrote I will always love you. You would not have known her if she had it written that.
CHRIS: Fair enough. I get the point. What about Garth Brooks?
MEGAN: Okay 1.
CHRIS: Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen.
MEGAN: Okay, name three songs.
CHRIS: Friends in low places, by Garth Brook. Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood. And Island in Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.
MEGAN: That’s not bad. I didn’t know that you were a country music fan.
CHRIS: To be honest, I am not a fan of country music. I don’t listen to country. I only know very few songs here and there and Shania Twain. But it doesn’t mean that it’s not good just because it’s not your cup of tea. In fact, country music is becoming popular. They are bringing original materials.
MEGAN: How do you know that they are bringing original materials if you have never listened to country music.
CHRIS: I just assumed that they must have brought original materials. It’s because they are dominating the chart… like Morgan Wallen. His songs are no 1.
MEGAN: What song is that?
CHRIS: I don’t know. But most of his songs are in Billboard top 10. He is bigger than Justin Bieber.
MEGAN: I used to have crush on Justin Bieber. I still listen to his song… except Peaches. I don’t know what was he thinking when sings I get my weed from California. Who care if he got it from Jamaica? The lyrics is terrible. That’s why sometimes, I hate pop songs. They talk nonsense and get away with it.
CHRIS: What kind of music do you like?
MEGAN: I like all kinds of music… except country. Pop is on the top.
CHRIS: What about Billie Eilish? You don’t like her.
MEGAN: Sometimes, I like her. She does have a unique voice. Other times, I can’t stand her when she whispers and talk nonsense. She would have been an amazing jazz singer if she just opens her mouth and sings like a regular person.
CHRIS: You don’t want Billie Eilish to limit herself with only Jazz. Let her try everything: Pop, R&B, rock, blues, jazz, indie what have you. She has a hypnotic, alluring, and haunting voice and she knows how to control the tone of her voice. But if she must limit herself, she should choose classic rock. It soothes her like ice cream melting in her mouth.
MEGAN: What kind of music do you listen to?
CHRIS: I listen all kinds of music. You know, Sexual healing by Marvin Gaye, let’s get together by Al Green, against all the odds by Phil Collins, In your eyes by Peter Gabriel, Kiss from a rose by Seal, and Earn it by Weeknd to name a few.
MEGAN: You have a beautiful taste. Sensual, seductive and erotic and romantic. But what’s your favorite lines in music.
CHRIS: It’s either the way you look tonight by Frank Sinatra. Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight.
Or My girl by Temptations.
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.

MEGAN: You are romantic.
CHRIS: What about you? What’s your favorite lines in music?
MEGAN: Halo by Beyonce.
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night.
You’re the only one that I want.
Think I’m addicted to your light.

The word of the Experienced
Guidelines on bullying in Western Pennsylvania School Districts
Teach your sons to abuse other boys. Molesting them if need be.
The boys who are molested will have to deal with it in therapy.
They will be ostracized by their peers.
They will suffer all the more
A young boy when properly abused and sexually hazed will be unable to think properly and consider all around him to be out to get him.
It makes it easier then to paint him as a schizophrenic.
They will be laughed at and scoffed at by your women and humiliated. It's like you've painted on your enemy a red letter A as a kid. Imagine trying to manage all those feelings as a kid. HAHA! He'll never have a chance.
It's funny too. Through and through. We do this because we can get away with it and we marry and have children all over the state of PA. Our wives and girlfriends they never find out. No one ever knows. But we just blame the victim and when they get angry, we'll just string em up.
After your sons sexually abuse him, make sure that you and your neighbors team up on his family members and call HIM and THEM the strange one's. After all, they adopted children from another country and raised them here. What a weakness.
Orphans. Next to trash.
Their mothers will make a mockery of it. Remember this in how you raise your young men. Molest other boys if need be so that you can conquer them easier. Whenever the victim seeks to rise out of the place of their abuse, paint them as a madman and a shooter. That if they fight back they’ll be like a columbine shooter. This way you can control them while your sons abuse them psychologically. Don’t worry, it’s nothing new. This is what happened to a boy I knew in Pittsburgh, Pa. We had our way with him promptly and he grew up this way. He never healed and he was kicked around by people endlessly until around thirty one. Never saved more than fifteen thousand dollars and was completely disabled because of the sexual abuse and hazing we caused him as a boy. He was an orphan. We made sure as a young man that we drugged him well enough with a bunch of friends that gave him drugs and treated him less than he was worth. He was middle class so we made sure to get him after he was sexually abused as a ten year old and fifteen to be around the wrong crowd so we could make him estranged from the family that cared about him. Of course, he wasn’t able to make friends after ten because the kids on the bus of the school he went to were all touching each others privates, but whenever it came out that they did it they all just blamed the orphan boy and he took the fall for the whole neighborhood. That’s exactly what we did to him. It was pretty funny to see him grow up this way, we watched as his entire life fell apart and he lost everything. Never able to find sanity. From what I heard after our sons had their way with him sexually and drugged and abused him he never got any better. Every time people saw him the only thing they would do is stare at him, like he was a kind of example of what happens when you’re an orphan bastard in America. You get what white power brings to orphans from another country, nobody wanted him so we made sure to make it that way forever. We redneck trash love to blur the lines between molestation and friendship. It makes the most sense to us to inspire severe mental health issues in children and then act like nothing happened. We’re waiting for him to kill himself. We’re excited to watch. Oh another thing, there’s a judge in Allegheny country we’ve been using who was selling cocaine and harassing young boys. We kept him on the stand for many years.
We’ll get away with this forever. It’s funny to watch.
What's more to us is that we have control of most of Western Pennsylvania. The young boy orphan who we know always did try to fight back. We loved sending the police to his house while our sons got away with sexually assaulting him, drugging him, and abusing him. He played sports with him so we made sure that the cops son definitely got to fondle his testicles against his will. Whenever he got angry and threatened to fight back or act like he was gonna shoot someone we just would send the cops dad to his house to "calm him down" a little while we all got away with it. The funniest part was watching his mother and father turn against this kid. They didn't even want that idiot anymore, they just wanted to throw the boy out and put him in a psych ward because they just thought he was a complete and total fuck up. After all he was the weak one for getting molested right? He was the fuck up for being sexually hazed and keeping quiet right? Not much of a man that fifteen year old boy was huh? While the people in Allegheny county all just act like it's nothing new. We like how we abuse our young boys out here especially the orphans from other countries.
How we relished this cute twinks pain. We loved telling him he was a saintly figure. "Saint --------------" we called him. It was funny to watch, all his friends convincing him it was his job to be like a holy figure. While they took advantage of him, drugged him, and ruined his relationship with his mother. He would take the trays up for the kids and especially the cops son who would touch his dick, by his junior year he didn't know the difference between being molested anymore and just being a willing participant. It's like the kid hadn't a single clue but the whole rest of the school and staff knew but, just because he was an orphan they chose to not do anything. After all, an orphan boy? It's like nothing happens to them. They aren't people after all especially if they're from another country. It was really enjoyable overall watching this kid lose everything. Last I heard he spent nine years tortured, night terrors every night. Disability.
Ah well. Keep Pennsylvania Proud.
Go Stillers!
He goes on. Unseen and unheard. But we know the truth.
(Based on the screwtape letters and real events)

I know what you're thinking...this guy must be trolling or insane or stupid. Hear me out.
First of all, I just want to say that I condemn the vindictive bullying, intimation Lance did to keep people silent and also the political and financial pressure he applied to them. I'm not here to defend him ruining people's lives. But let me offer a different take on why his titles should be returned.
Before Lance's 7 TDF wins was there doping in cycling? Yes. Was there doping in cycling after Lance retired the first time? Yes. It's a know fact that from the early 90s on to present day, if you wanted to have ANY shot of winning the TDF you had to dope. All the top 40 cyclists for 20 years have done or did some sort of drug use. Alberto Contador, Jan Ullrich, and many others have admitted or been busted for doping AFTER their winning TDF titles.
How come they get to keep their titles but lance got his removed? Why is Lance the scapegoat? Did people feel betrayed because he lied about his drug use? That the story of him recovering from cancer and winning TDF all natty was false? So he should lose everything? This is a double standard.
To be honest, even though he admitted to doping and steroid use, its still a phenomenal achievement a man can come back from Stage III testicular cancer with it spreading to the lungs and the brain and given have the strength to RIDE A BIKE AT ALL period, let alone win the TDF 7 times (admittedly with the help of doping and performance enhancing drugs, but again you basically had to do PEDs to have any hope of winning at all.)
I look at it like this, either all of it is okay or none of it is. If everybody in the top 40 dopes, why is he the only one that gets banned and gets his titles taken away? To me that doesn't make any sense. Either have there be no winners for the TDF, or give Lance his titles back.
As far as his narcissism (do whatever it takes to win), a lot of top tier athletes have that mentality. Not saying its right or justified. But a lot of them do, Michael Jordan was known for bullying his teammates. Pete Rose is also a confirmed narcissist. Pretty much a lot of famous people in sports, hollywood or music are morally terrible. But I don't see anyone taking away say Mel Gibson's oscar for Brave Heart because he says anti semetic stuff or verbally abused his daughter. Give lance his titles back, or take away all the other Tour De France titles. Either all of it is okay or none of it is.

I live in middle Tennessee with my wife and our 4 children. My wife has been struggling with substance abuse off and on for around 6 years now. She completed a 30 day stint in a Florida rehab at the beginning of April. Things were a little rocky between the two of us when she came home. I had lost all trust in her, and I was prepared to walk away. To give us each a little space, she agreed to go to sober living home that was geared towards helping women with families get back on their feet. She stayed for approximately two weeks and decided she missed her family too much and wanted to come home. Which she did. I didn’t necessarily agree to it, but as long as she wasn’t using, and I could tell that she wasn’t using, I didn’t see any problem with it. I was willing to give her that to see how it would go. So far, it has been fine….. except when she left this place her mother didn’t like it, and her mother has been pushing for her to go to this year-long place which is close to where she lives, in Alabama. For whatever reason my wife does not want to go to this place. I can’t say that I completely blame her, because it’s a year, and she would be away from her kids, it would also be tough for us to visit etc…. She just doesn’t feel comfortable going there. There’s a history with her mom, and it’s kind of a volatile relationship, and she just doesn’t want to go there. Anyway, on Friday my mother-in-law asked if she could get our two year old son so that we could have some time to work on our house, getting it cleaned up etc… It’s kind of disorganized and we are playing catch up. at first, I did not agree to this. I said no…. But my mother stepped in and said that she would take him to meet her, and that she would pick him up this weekend. Reluctantly and against our better judgment, we both agreed. So, this morning I get a text from her mother with a PDF that’s basically a court order that says that she has custody of my son until the 30th when there is a hearing scheduled. Can somebody tell me how this is possible? I’m just really confused as to how this is even legal and I really don’t know what to do. I don’t use drugs. My wife is in recovery. I believe this is a manipulation tactic to get my wife to go to this place that close to her(mother in law) that she’s been trying to get her to go to for some time now. There was no notice given to us that this was happening. And I’m not OK with my son staying with my mother-in-law or her husband… I know that he sells drugs and I know that he uses drugs as well. What do I need to do to get my son back? He doesn’t even live in Alabama. He lives in Tennessee. Please somebody, enlighten me.

This week, after our plans for a similar show got blown up twice, it's a battle of the Hong Kong action stars as Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, and Jet Li kick bad guy faces and save the witnesses from mob bosses, corrupt cops, and influential businessmen.

• First up, Jackie Chan was so disappointed in the American film he did early that year that he made this in response, where he plays an honest Hong Kong cop who attempts to protect an informant waiting to testify in the trial of her mob boss boyfriend. Some of our links on this one are subtitled while others are dubbed, it'll come down to where you live.
  
• Then, you can disregard the "4" in the title as this is a standalone film where Hong Kong cop Donnie Yen is forced to team up with American cop Cynthia Khan on the trail of a drug syndicate.
  
• Finally, Jet Li is hired as a bodyguard to a powerful businessman's girlfriend who witnesses a murder, and starts to grow feelings for her. Keep it in your pants, Jet Li!
  

We are starting at 8:00pm Central.
All links here

• Police Story dubbed/subbed (1985 run 1:40:31) - Max, subtitled, start at 6s
  
• In the Line of Duty 4: Witness dubbed (1989 run 1:35:20)
  
• The Bodyguard from Beijing dubbed (1994 run 1:32:17)
  

Fusion Friday: your home of lazy programming!

Was scrolling through this community and found nothing as incredibly specific as the title I've written today, so I guess I've decided to ask about this considering I'm still processing up to now my experience working for a startup which I resigned from a couple of months ago.
But yeah, just like the title said: anyone here have any particularly terrifying/traumatic/frustrating experiences working for a startup? I'll start:
Some time back, I entered a company in a junior position for a startup whose posting enticed me. What got me was that a) they were near me, and b) the potential for growth seemed promising given the product this startup was peddling around. (Writer's note: I'm not gonna mention the company, the field, or the position here but I might be comfortable sharing some in PM) Signed up and eventually came to have a very mixed relationship with this company. Here are some things that I did appreciate:

1. In the training period that was given to me as I entered the position, it was great to learn a hefty amount of knowledge from the learning modules the company had prepared for training employees in that position. I would say that coupled with some very welcoming and pleasant interactions with the rest of the team that I was a part of, I had fun too.
2. Personal growth was quite significant, especially since I had a hand at ensuring certain matters and tasks assigned to me were delivered as requested. We could also work anywhere as the company head said in their interview with me!

But... what's the problem? Well...

1. Remember that "work anywhere" mantra I mentioned? Well, I felt annoyed because on some mornings whenever the company had a meeting, there would be shortcomings in the delivered output based on who was responsible for it and what would sometimes end up happening is the company head going on an unnecessary tirade that sometimes included about how they think about making people work in the office more because of this. (Okay, probably debatable, but I did not enjoy dealing with this)
2. Actually, more on the boss: apart from turning what is an initially promised 1 hour meeting into a 2/3/4-hr / whole morning one, really really likes to stress work-life balance... but will have the gall to get frustrated when an employee is sick to the point na they'll even try to get someone to contact them while the other person is recuperating. Nakakabastos.
3. Breaking point for me really was this week that we had a bunch of holidays clumped together in the same week, but the impression I got from that morning's meeting was that we didn't deserve to have a break because we weren't meeting goals (and even made it a point to emphasize na if may balak magtrabaho on the holidays to finish deliverables hindi yun counted as special holidays w/c should mean na may multiplier sa pay). This was what prompted me to just eventually resign and search elsewhere.

It's pretty clear that my horror story revolves around how much the company boss ruined any of the good or promising things I saw in this company. Though I'd say it also gave me a hard lesson about being very, very judicious and informed about the startup I'm getting into. I did my research later on and saw that the head really likes to make a lot of these companies/organizations/initiatives in the name of social entrepreneurship. A couple of duplicate companies here and there, di man lang makakuha ng market dito because the competent sales people all left for similar reasons. "Do this because you're making a difference to a lot of people," well the low pay, abusive upper management, and the lack of self-accountability doesn't help justify the lack of sleep and the anxiety I've developed dealing with this type of stuff. (Or the fact that... well, they've been a startup for so long pero mas marami nang nakaangat na companies in the same field established after theirs.)
How about you? Might be useful to hear your thoughts for future readers who are looking to get into the same world soon.

Have you ever watched a horror movie 🍿 and you just can’t stand to watch the monster 👹 hunting the innocent victims. You want to look away but you can’t. You know what’s going to happen.👀👀🗣️🗣️ Thats what it is to watch your channel. 😶‍🌫️I know you are reading this. Let me tell you something 😊😉you are living a lie. This whole episode is going to catch up with you. We all know it and can see it , that’s why people talk about it. The pedo behavior is real. We all know and feel it. The neglect is real, we can see it , and you are mistaking this as attention. People call you out on your illusions and you take it as compliments. We all can see you take drugs,and when we call you out on it,you take it as gossip. The child abuse - Colt is being hurt by you. You know what you are doing to him and you are okay with it. You belong in jail chonie. This is not a compliment. You have no friends here. We all waiting for the cards to fall. This is not a victory for you, because you’re not righteous. The is also not a challenge or an attack, this is the truth.
