2023.06.07 08:18 hehajwjajaj I feel worthless
I have the most supporting family I could’ve asked for, the best girlfriend in the world whose also my best friend, but I feel worthless every day.
I’ve been on fluoxetine for 3 years nearly, and I just feel flat everyday. A feeling of impending doom constantly while always feeling so anxious about every single thing that may happen. I can’t hold a job and only just got hired for an event day job, it barely gives me a shift a week whilst my girlfriend is working her ass off for us. She’s so supportive about it but yet I still feel like I’m not gonna be able to do and hold a genuine full time job.
I smoke weed very regularly and I know it’s not great but it’s the only way I feel any sense of calmness. My family is concerned about me but my sister also has a large number of issues herself and I don’t want to put my family through more stuff then they have to deal with my sister. So for the most part I don’t tell them, and know they just think I’m lazy from the weed, I feel bad if I do anything because it’ll contradict what someone else wants from me and I can never really find time for myself or anywhere to vent to or ask for help until today.
I don’t know what to do with my life, I feel like I have a life of failure ahead of me, and I just can’t bring myself to talk to people or organise something to help because my anxiety always over comes me and I remember I’ll be happier In bed or smoking because it’s easier than talking to people.
I know there’s a lot of people sharing in here so I don’t expect any responses, but if you want to talk I’d appreciate it Thank you

2023.06.07 08:17 deadinside72 Need some advice for my internship
This has to be the worst year so far for me.
I really need some career advice as of now. Please read and tell me what can I do to get them to reconsider their decision. Or atleast get me an interview to discuss my concerns.
Month 1 - It was just basic set up of pc. All the applications. I was told to study React JS, which is actually a totally new subject for me. Initially I found it hard but i studied it nonetheless.
Month 2 - Still studying React and basic fundamentals of Javascript. I was told about a project which I would be needed to start working soon enough with my React knowledge.
Month 3 - It was very hard initially but I did small small tasks and gave some type of progress. Point to note: None of my progress was recorded anywhere. Except through messages to my team members who gave me the task. And also one more thing, I was alone who worked on this. There was also a meet where I was called in mid month. They told me I need to slightly buck up and that deadline is nearing. It was very calm and collected. So I said yes I will.
Month 4 - I picked up my pace and started working as much as I possibly can. Now I had some help, to ask doubts and such for React stuff. And there was a scheduled call where I was told to give a status on this particular component. I was nearly half way completed with that component when this React expert team member gave me some suggestions which caused a delay and sort of caused a lot of falling back to whatever I had done before. So when the call happened. I had nothing to show really. After the call, they had a separate discussion without me, post which I was told that my boss was informed about the last minute changes so he is aware now why the delay happened. Things picked up well after that. I was able to complete 80% of the project by the month end.
Month 5 - Now i had another person working with me. There were bunch of Ui changes which I did as well I could within due time. I am quite positive that this team member would definitely have good things to say about my performance. Similar to the other 2 people I worked with.
Month 6- I get to know yesterday from my college placement cell that I didnt get selected for FTE. I was told it was due to performance issues. Now I am quite confused cause I did as I was told. Infact my team didnt even know I was not selected for going forward. Nor the the fact that this was my last month. I'll be honest I had very little interaction about my performance with my manager. No inputs except that day's call. But i did get 'good work's on status calls. So I'm not sure.
I really think I'm a good fit for the company and I can actually bring something valuable here. But im confused as to why I was not selected. Had my manager even gave me inputs from his end whether good or bad, maybe I would be able to gauge on how well i am supposed to do. My team is quite good but there is not alot of interaction within it. They are supportive when I ask for it. But i havent had alot of interactions with my manager.
I have gotten a scheduled talk next week with my manager on my request. Where I would try to talk about this stuff. But i am not sure how to exactly say that there couldve been some misunderstanding. I really wish they reconsider.
Please guide.

2023.06.07 08:17 DiskSignal4582 Can shopowners claim a parking area in the streets if their shop is in the building
So I was visiting a person near my area in Powai, Mumbai. I saw a parking near a building. While parking a guy comes up to me and says that you cannot park here since it belong to us. I was a bit stunned since it was a public road and started questioning it.
He pointed at his general store which was inside the building and they had a parking place clearly in front of the shop and the borders of the building. There is a very small gate in between the borders which leads up to the shop however there was no No parking sign attached to the small gate. Hence I was going to park right there in front of the game on the public road.
Can the shop owner not allow me parking over there or can he? What is your legal opinion with respective to this problem. It has been quite puzzling me and I want legal advice

2023.06.07 08:16 MaxKulik1 Leaving MSP
Hey all!
As the title of the post says, our company/tax firm is looking to leave the MSP that we use right now. As we now are 11 locations and reaching 60 - 70 employees with over 100 endpoints, the firm partners are looking to bring their IT needs in house. And that's when I come in.
So they brought me in to start up this little IT department and things have been going pretty smooth so far this year. The MSP is charging us ~$170,000 a year and we can bring everything in house for about an 80% savings.
I feel I have most of my t's crossed and i's dotted for this meeting the firm partners are pulling me in with the MSP on Friday to discuss moving away. Any recommendations of things that I could bring up to help my case on why moving away from this MSP is beneficial?
Our service with them over the past 2 years have been just OKAY but response time is very slow and they don't do a really good job of doing anything to help the smaller problems. Where a quick ticket and a phone call could quickly resolve an issue. And in my opinion the cost is pretty high.
I am new to this kind of transition so any advice is helpful.

2023.06.07 08:14 Comfy_Leather_Boots Feeling Lost/Abandoned, alone?
I’ve been forced out of a toxic relationship (29M). My ex wife kicked me out and filed for divorce. It was a relationship of nearly 10 years. She’s 100% cut me out even though I’ve tried to work through her multiple affairs with marriage counseling over the past few years.
I’ve always given her my all, never even the slightest thought of cheating ever crossed my mind. I found my person, my human, my favorite being…or so I thought. It’s been several months and the divorce is still in its early stages but I am at a loss. I don’t know what to do anymore. It got to the point where I had to call a helpline at one point to check myself in (I’m better now and seeing a counselor and therapist). I worry I’ll slip and get back into that mindset. So here I am reaching out to ask for advice.
What do adults do for fun? I don’t enjoy the idea of a bar because alcohol conflicts with medication and I don’t want to be perceived as a creep going to pickup drunk women. I do lots of walking already and it’s just eh as of lately.
Meetup app is pretty much dead with activities. What kind of events or activities do people partake in? My ex was a homebody which meant I too had to be a homebody.
My therapist told me they were proud of me today because I was talking about how I was helping peers at work with their vehicle work (rotors, breaks, differential fluid, oil change, repainting their truck, etc), attended a boxing class, and planning a skydiving trip for next month.
My funds are low as most of it is going towards court so I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Ideally I want someone to be able to text/call and goof off with and be my true genuine self. I just don’t know where to start or find a person.
I’ve downloaded the dating apps and giving those a try. No success. Realistically I’m using them to find friends and not a romantic relationship (not mentioned in my profiles to not scare away anyone). If it happens, it happens. I’m not rushing it tho. Mentally, I’m not ready for a romantic relationship.
I miss her. I know I shouldn’t. She’s been an obstacle to my happiness for a long time and it would be unhealthy for me to fix it.
I have airline miles to travel to many destinations and I have PTO available. I struggle to do things alone and am terrified to travel alone due to being -alone- for a vacation. But I can or should if it means internal peace.
Help, please?

2023.06.07 08:14 aGuitarHero looking for the name of an artist
I know this is vague but this is killing me. I found an artists I really liked while browsing tik tok in bed. I think it was a mildly famous russian artist, they made a kinda of pastel minimalist painting of landscapes and homes. but all the works left an uneasy feeling in you like looking at laminal spaces. the style felt art deco or surreal.
I looking into buying some of their art when I found it on tik tok but I woke up the next day and completly forgot their name and forgot to save the post.
Any help would be awesome.

2023.06.07 08:14 Jeffreyjellyfish33 How do you all deal with rude customers?
Rude customers anger me. I have gotten multiple one-star ratings unfairly and was wondering how I should go about handling them. Here is a little story for you all. This experience as a shopper really grinded my gears today. It starts with me waiting for batches and chilling at the local bar. I only take orders with 5 items or fewer so I can come back and get my seat at the bar. I was on my 5th batch and decided to take a slightly bigger order of 35 items. It was also extremely far, which was about 15 miles. I had to go to this Ralphs all the way by the beach which was a very stressful experience. I was a little busy taking a few shots before leaving and I had tried to Along the drive my customer scolded me about being too slow and I must start my batch in 5 minutes or I am going to automatically get a four-star rating. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I absolutely hate Ralphs. everything is so expensive and the aisles are not even arranged in alphabetical order. The customer specifically wanted organic bananas. They were completely out of organic bananas. What kind of store runs out of bananas? I attempted to replace it with regular bananas which they did have. I got an angry message stating that she needs it to be organic. I replied back with "Who cares a banana is a banana". I didn't like the customer's condescending and rude tone in the message. Here is the thing with organic or regular they all taste the same so really it doesn't matter. Do people really get that butthurt that their precious organic food is out of stock? anyways I lied and said I found it and replaced the regular banana bag with an organic banana bag. When I was ready to check out, I got a message saying that the customer saying that they did not approve of my milk substitution. They wanted whole milk but I replaced it with 2%. the first time I replaced it with whole milk because they wanted a specific brand and they didn't have it. I just gave him 2%, because who drinks whole milk nowadays anyways it's 2023. This milk also had to be organic believe it or not. I had to get out of line and fix it. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, I finally check out and sit in more traffic. This person lived in a stupid neighborhood because the only way to get there efficiently is to take a toll road.
I wish Instacart could pay extra for toll road coverage which I will complain about. I finally get to the customer's house. I rang the doorbell and a short, fat, frumpy white woman came and snatched my bags. No wonder she wanted whole milk I say to myself. She was still unhappy with my service and she kind of scolded me about my replacements and my attitude toward it. As I left, I politely asked if she could put 5 on gas. She angrily told me to have a nice day slamming the door right in my face. The next morning, I woke up with a one-star review with a long message flamming me. I decided to report it to Instacart explaining the situation. Is there anything else that can be done to take my one-star review off my profile?

2023.06.07 08:14 smilesonportage How to Care for Your Veneers: Tips and Tricks for Long-Lasting Results
| https://preview.redd.it/05qmrwd6fj4b1.jpg?width=2121&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c492d750b27ba4da71afe055e81ba65f6d1f186b Veneers are an investment in your smile, and with proper care, they can provide you with long-lasting and beautiful results. In this blog, we'll share essential tips and tricks to help you maintain and care for your veneers, ensuring their longevity and preserving their appearance. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Floss daily to remove plaque and debris from between your teeth and around the veneers. Wear a Mouthguard: If you participate in contact sports or grind your teeth while sleeping, wearing a mouthguard is crucial. It provides protection against potential trauma or damage to your veneers. Limit Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks: While porcelain veneers near you are stain-resistant, it's still advisable to limit the consumption of highly pigmented foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. If you do indulge, rinse your mouth with water afterward to minimize staining. Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular visits to your dentist clinic in Winnipeg for professional cleanings and check-ups. They can assess the condition of your veneers, identify any potential issues early on, and provide specialized care to maintain their longevity. Conclusion: By following these simple care tips, you can ensure your veneers stay in optimal condition for years to come. Embrace your new smile with confidence and enjoy the transformative benefits of veneers with proper care and maintenance. submitted by smilesonportage to dentists_ask [link] [comments] |

2023.06.07 08:13 Trick_Wonder_4576 41, is no fun
I rarely post, but recently I've been reading some posts where people offer uplifting responses to strangers. It has been a source of comfort for me lately. At the moment, I feel overwhelmed and defeated, with a deep sense of loneliness. I want to express my emotions intelligently, as I am experiencing profound emotional wounds and a lack of direction in my life. This description reflects my current state.
The aspects that define me at this moment are a combination of permanent, temporary, cyclical, and circumstantial factors. I find myself in the deepest depression I have ever experienced in my 41 years of life. Considering my current circumstances and the metrics used to measure success, I feel like a complete failure. If one were to analyze my job history and performance, there were moments of incredible opportunities followed by brief success, only to be followed by utter failure. Similarly, if we were to evaluate my personal life in terms of social interactions, dating/marriage, friendships, and health, I would be considered among the lowest performers. It seems like my entire life has been marked by failure.
Furthermore, it seems as though the universe has singled me out for some special kind of punishment. For years, I have felt a sense of surrealism, where every decision or action I take inevitably leads to unfavorable outcomes. Every significant matter in my life has ended in prolonged consequences, worsened circumstances, or some form of material loss. I have missed out on numerous opportunities, chances for marriage and having children have slipped away, I am financially struggling, and I have very few friends apart from one in my former hometown of Chicago and another in Alaska. My spirituality and faith have also been deeply affected by the setbacks and obstacles I have faced, and I am dealing with all of this without the support of my estranged family.
My three best friends, my sisters, and I have not spoken in six years. I can't recall the last time I spoke with my brother, as he doesn't respond to my emails or texts. My mother is suffering from rapid-onset dementia, while my father has recently retired from a lifelong career as a doctor. Throughout my life, my family has systematically scapegoated me, starting with being labeled the black sheep. However, everything changed when I disclosed at the age of 27 that my brother had sexually and physically abused me as a child. Since then, life has been a constant battle against me. The universe seemed to shift its axis, and my life has never been the same. It is particularly disconcerting that my brother, a urologist by profession, is the perpetrator of such heinous acts.
My sisters, as research suggests, took sides between the "black sheep/fuckup/substance user" and the successful urologist. They accused me of lying, changing my story, waiting too long, claiming it was nothing, and even being jealous of my brother's life, which includes a mansion, a Porsche, wealth, and respect. Since I have accomplished nothing, they believe I fabricated drunken tales of childhood and only decided to reveal this ultra-specific story at the age of 27. I never imagined that I would lose my family in this way. It feels like I have lost my identity, purpose, support system, best friends, and confidants – my sisters. They have subjected me to the silent treatment, which my brother also employs, treating me as if I don't exist. My sister's last text message summed it up when she said that they don't get together to talk about me anymore because I don't come up in their conversations. It was the same sister who initially encouraged me to reveal the truth about the abuse but then betrayed me and twisted the narrative.
In my family, my case of sexual abuse was not an isolated incident. My father, a physician and at the time a pediatrician in Illinois, had a second case of sexual abuse and incest in his side of the family. His younger brother, the second oldest among seven siblings, also abused his own daughter, my cousin. He is also Dr. A few years before I disclosed my own abuse as an adult, my cousin trusted my father enough to disclose her abuse to him. Despite my father not knowing about my case at the time, he took no professional action to report the abuse committed by another doctor, his brother, who abused his now niece, and did nothing.During that same disclosure, my cousin admitted that her two brothers, who are also my cousins, had abused her as well. This meant that five members of her household, three of whom were abusing one child, were involved in these traumatic events. My father, along with his brother and siblings, did nothing legally to report these incidents. My uncle, the abuser, is now the president of a hospital in East Texas. So technically, my case was the fourth, following my uncle, cousin, and another cousin. One of those cousins is now a pastor of a small church community, while the other works for a former presidential candidate's company. As for me, I have been trapped in a cycle of failure to launch as an adult, mental health issues, and intermittent substance abuse problems for the past 20 years. And that's not even the end of it – the fifth case involves my cousin, who was arrested in a state capital where he worked as a therapist or counselor. He was arrested for filming his young neighbor through her window. I am aware of his arrest but do not have any information regarding the progress of his case or its resolution.
To put it all together, it is an intricate mess of narcissism, ego, power, control, and childhood trauma. I strongly believe I have developed complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) as a result of these experiences. In fact, I am certain that I have.
Fast-forward to the present, and I am writing this from a motel room, where there are too many details to recount from the past six months since my return from Montana. In a way, I followed the path of my other abused cousin – I left. However, I ultimately failed and had to return to a city near my parents, a city I despise. To add to my troubles, I was falsely accused of felony domestic violence soon after my return, further fueling my sense of failure and shame. My parents, upon hearing about the incident, made it clear that they wanted little to do with me. Speaking of Montana, my experiences and the year I spent there were truly nightmarish, to say the least. But that's a story for another time.
During the car ride to a hospital in a small town in the same county, my father and I had an opportunity for a discussion about the abuse. I wanted to understand why he did nothing in all five cases, why the eldest child seems to be targeted (true for my brother and cousin), why successful doctors are involved – including a pastor, a consultant, and now a urologist after the fact. Did he not notice the intergenerational pattern and his own parental negligence as a physician and a parent of adult children? I questioned why he took no action, why his behavior changed so drastically in the past three years, why he lied about his knowledge of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) when he had used them for possible infidelity and had lied about private settlements. He even harassed me using the police, assassinated my character in our small town, and now charged me with striking him, resulting in false statements and allegations. As a consequence, my reputation has been tarnished while my father's remains pristine. We currently reside in a town where he practiced medicine, and the consequences for me are severe. Deep in my heart, I know that his post-arrest behavior towards me has been consistently inconsistent. He evades questioning, avoids contact and visits, and shows no signs of wanting a relationship. Instead, he guilt-trips me, shifts blame, engages in word salad and gaslighting, and pathologically lies.
As I sit here now, I wonder: What can one do in such a dire situation? There seem to be no options, no answers, no safety nets of money or emotional support, no motivation, and no joy – only the looming threat of a potentially harsh sentence. Even worse, my father has attempted to record my phone calls and offered me money not to hire a proper defense attorney or pursue litigation, just a week before I was supposed to accept a four-year adjudication plea as an innocent party. Then, when I decided to plead my innocence at the last minute during the trial, he abandoned me once again, signaling to me that money is somehow tainted. Regardless, it's gone now.
I apologize for unloading all of this on Reddit, and I understand that it may be quite depressing for others to read. However, I feel that I have reached the end of my fight, not against just one issue, but against a conglomerate of issues that have stolen my life and time, offering me nothing in return. I desperately need legal advice, emotional support, prayers, or any form of assistance. I find myself lost in a maze of confusion, where every turn I make is a miscalculation, distorted by backward perspectives and reflections off other elements. Over the past six weeks since leaving my job due to a problematic relationship with the owner, I have been living a transient and isolated existence in the dark corners of this wretched city. It feels as though I have been exiled from my own life. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I want to assure you that I'm not dramatizing this situation; I'm simply sharing my experience because I have no one else to talk to. I have been completely alone and isolated since losing my job.

2023.06.07 08:13 flimflamparent I have no idea what to say to my unwed pregnant daughter
I feel like a sham of a parent! I know she is looking to me for advice that will point her in a direction, but she is the one that ultimately has to make a decision and life with the consequences of that decision.
She is 24yo. The last.5 years have been difficult. SA by a trusted family member sent her I to a mental health tailspin. She has managed to right the ship some, but still has quite a way to go.
He current boyfriend (well ex as of 2 days ago) is what I would consider a narcissist as well.as emotionally abusive. The started living together 1 month into the relationship. One and half years later and she finally go fed up enough to get away. Then she finds out she's pregnant.
She wants the baby, but not HIS baby, or the lifetime tether that would have. She works as a waitress at a place that's too slow to make any kind of real money. She move back home 3 months ago at the first BF split. But continued to go on dates (and obviously more). So providing for a baby alone would be near impossible. She has no real tract record of follow through on anything. Even before the SA.
She doesn't want to carry it to term and give it up because her cynical world view of people makes her believe the baby would more than likely end up in a crappy situation.
She doesn't believe in abortion, but believes this is her only option. I ask questions to illicit thoughts or plans on her part. DH and I can't raise a baby. He's on disability retirement and I have to work. We are prepared to be supportive grandparents of need be, but the financial toll of the last 5 years and her habitually making irresponsible decisions have made us cut of money support even prior to this situation.
So.here we are in a hotel in a different state because we live in a ban state. She is scheduled for tomorrow morning. And I feel like a worthless parent for not being able to give her what I belive she is wanting from me......a decision that absolves her of having to make a tough decision.
I have no idea what to say anymore. I'm here in this hotel not because I've pushed her to be here. I'm here because I told her I would be there for her regardless of her decision, short of raising it.
Has anyone out there been in this position? What helped? What hurt? I'm as lost as she is!

2023.06.07 08:13 RadiantManagement496 I broke up with my girlfriend after she slapped me across the face
This all happened 4 days ago. We have been together almost 4 years, don't live together but she stays the night majority of the week. We have broken up twice before (initiated by me both times). She has bad problems with insecurity (previous relationship she was cheated on and abused) which always led to arguments and admittedly some small part of my mind had thoughts of leaving her because of our arguments and fights. I also have my own issues with long-term commitment probably because I come from multiple generations of divorce in the family and have never had parental figures who were truly good together. This last argument escalated after we were both really drunk. She was on top of me, cocked her hand back and slapped me across the face twice. I told her how sorry I was for whatever happened to her in her life to make her this way. She proceeded to down a bottle of ibuprofen. Being drunk I panicked and called 911 which for whatever reason I feel ashamed for doing. Maybe it would have been fine? I know it takes a lot of ibuprofen to do real damage. Maybe I overreacted calling 911? She was admitted to hospital and released in morning. I love her so much without a doubt. We had so many more good times rather than bad times. Not saying it is no where near acceptable excuse for hitting but I feel my commitment issues combined with her anxiety/insecurities may have drove her this crazy She is pleading, begging, sobbing, crying how sorry she is and vows to get whatever professional help she needs. She expressed she is at the lowest in her life, she is crushed and I can see it. I feel like I'm losing my best friend but after what happened I feel like it's just a sign to let go. She is seeking help and is willing to do whatever it takes to work on our relationship. I am almost finished with nursing school and she has been helping me with buying me groceries, food, etc. because I only work part time while in school. She is amazingly supportive and encouraging in everything I do. I feel immense guilt and sorrow for her cause I would do anything to not let her feel an ounce of pain. Knowing this pain is caused by me is killing me. Part of me now thinks we should work on this together

2023.06.07 08:12 Trick_Wonder_4576 41 Is no fun
I rarely post, but recently I've been reading some posts where people offer uplifting responses to strangers. It has been a source of comfort for me lately. At the moment, I feel overwhelmed and defeated, with a deep sense of loneliness. I want to express my emotions intelligently, as I am experiencing profound emotional wounds and a lack of direction in my life. This description reflects my current state.
The aspects that define me at this moment are a combination of permanent, temporary, cyclical, and circumstantial factors. I find myself in the deepest depression I have ever experienced in my 41 years of life. Considering my current circumstances and the metrics used to measure success, I feel like a complete failure. If one were to analyze my job history and performance, there were moments of incredible opportunities followed by brief success, only to be followed by utter failure. Similarly, if we were to evaluate my personal life in terms of social interactions, dating/marriage, friendships, and health, I would be considered among the lowest performers. It seems like my entire life has been marked by failure.
Furthermore, it seems as though the universe has singled me out for some special kind of punishment. For years, I have felt a sense of surrealism, where every decision or action I take inevitably leads to unfavorable outcomes. Every significant matter in my life has ended in prolonged consequences, worsened circumstances, or some form of material loss. I have missed out on numerous opportunities, chances for marriage and having children have slipped away, I am financially struggling, and I have very few friends apart from one in my former hometown of Chicago and another in Alaska. My spirituality and faith have also been deeply affected by the setbacks and obstacles I have faced, and I am dealing with all of this without the support of my estranged family.
My three best friends, my sisters, and I have not spoken in six years. I can't recall the last time I spoke with my brother, as he doesn't respond to my emails or texts. My mother is suffering from rapid-onset dementia, while my father has recently retired from a lifelong career as a doctor. Throughout my life, my family has systematically scapegoated me, starting with being labeled the black sheep. However, everything changed when I disclosed at the age of 27 that my brother had sexually and physically abused me as a child. Since then, life has been a constant battle against me. The universe seemed to shift its axis, and my life has never been the same. It is particularly disconcerting that my brother, a urologist by profession, is the perpetrator of such heinous acts.
My sisters, as research suggests, took sides between the "black sheep/fuckup/substance user" and the successful urologist. They accused me of lying, changing my story, waiting too long, claiming it was nothing, and even being jealous of my brother's life, which includes a mansion, a Porsche, wealth, and respect. Since I have accomplished nothing, they believe I fabricated drunken tales of childhood and only decided to reveal this ultra-specific story at the age of 27. I never imagined that I would lose my family in this way. It feels like I have lost my identity, purpose, support system, best friends, and confidants – my sisters. They have subjected me to the silent treatment, which my brother also employs, treating me as if I don't exist. My sister's last text message summed it up when she said that they don't get together to talk about me anymore because I don't come up in their conversations. It was the same sister who initially encouraged me to reveal the truth about the abuse but then betrayed me and twisted the narrative.
In my family, my case of sexual abuse was not an isolated incident. My father, a physician and at the time a pediatrician in Illinois, had a second case of sexual abuse and incest in his side of the family. His younger brother, the second oldest among seven siblings, also abused his own daughter, my cousin. He is also Dr. A few years before I disclosed my own abuse as an adult, my cousin trusted my father enough to disclose her abuse to him. Despite my father not knowing about my case at the time, he took no professional action to report the abuse committed by another doctor, his brother, who abused his now niece, and did nothing.During that same disclosure, my cousin admitted that her two brothers, who are also my cousins, had abused her as well. This meant that five members of her household, three of whom were abusing one child, were involved in these traumatic events. My father, along with his brother and siblings, did nothing legally to report these incidents. My uncle, the abuser, is now the president of a hospital in East Texas. So technically, my case was the fourth, following my uncle, cousin, and another cousin. One of those cousins is now a pastor of a small church community, while the other works for a former presidential candidate's company. As for me, I have been trapped in a cycle of failure to launch as an adult, mental health issues, and intermittent substance abuse problems for the past 20 years. And that's not even the end of it – the fifth case involves my cousin, who was arrested in a state capital where he worked as a therapist or counselor. He was arrested for filming his young neighbor through her window. I am aware of his arrest but do not have any information regarding the progress of his case or its resolution.
To put it all together, it is an intricate mess of narcissism, ego, power, control, and childhood trauma. I strongly believe I have developed complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) as a result of these experiences. In fact, I am certain that I have.
Fast-forward to the present, and I am writing this from a motel room, where there are too many details to recount from the past six months since my return from Montana. In a way, I followed the path of my other abused cousin – I left. However, I ultimately failed and had to return to a city near my parents, a city I despise. To add to my troubles, I was falsely accused of felony domestic violence soon after my return, further fueling my sense of failure and shame. My parents, upon hearing about the incident, made it clear that they wanted little to do with me. Speaking of Montana, my experiences and the year I spent there were truly nightmarish, to say the least. But that's a story for another time.
During the car ride to a hospital in a small town in the same county, my father and I had an opportunity for a discussion about the abuse. I wanted to understand why he did nothing in all five cases, why the eldest child seems to be targeted (true for my brother and cousin), why successful doctors are involved – including a pastor, a consultant, and now a urologist after the fact. Did he not notice the intergenerational pattern and his own parental negligence as a physician and a parent of adult children? I questioned why he took no action, why his behavior changed so drastically in the past three years, why he lied about his knowledge of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) when he had used them for possible infidelity and had lied about private settlements. He even harassed me using the police, assassinated my character in our small town, and now charged me with striking him, resulting in false statements and allegations. As a consequence, my reputation has been tarnished while my father's remains pristine. We currently reside in a town where he practiced medicine, and the consequences for me are severe. Deep in my heart, I know that his post-arrest behavior towards me has been consistently inconsistent. He evades questioning, avoids contact and visits, and shows no signs of wanting a relationship. Instead, he guilt-trips me, shifts blame, engages in word salad and gaslighting, and pathologically lies.
As I sit here now, I wonder: What can one do in such a dire situation? There seem to be no options, no answers, no safety nets of money or emotional support, no motivation, and no joy – only the looming threat of a potentially harsh sentence. Even worse, my father has attempted to record my phone calls and offered me money not to hire a proper defense attorney or pursue litigation, just a week before I was supposed to accept a four-year adjudication plea as an innocent party. Then, when I decided to plead my innocence at the last minute during the trial, he abandoned me once again, signaling to me that money is somehow tainted. Regardless, it's gone now.

2023.06.07 08:11 saltine_soup being a customer service worker should be praised way more than it is
you know how many times i want to punch people in the face when they’re so fucking rude to me??? but no i can’t if i want to keep my job and make money so i slap on the stupid customer service voice and smile and ask if they need anything else, if it’ll be cash or card, if they want to donate to whatever fund, bla bla bla bla blaaaaaaa. not everyone is cut out for customer service, not everyone can slap on the fake voice and smile and honestly i’d like some recognition for being a service worker and not punching or yelling at some of these people. i have anger issues that existed long before i worked in customer service and i’m sure those of you who didn’t have developed some due to our jobs and i think we deserve some sort of applause for not stooping to our customers level and letting our anger out on others you know like our customers do. idk i’m just fucking annoyed and wish the customer service purge day was a real thing and not something that service workers on tiktok fantasize about or that we actually get some recognition for all we deal with while being paid absolutely horribly.
