Just to add my two pennies worth... don't wash your hands of her, as this will just affirm the belief that as her parent, you don't care or understand her, whereas her new found 'family' of allies 'will'.
I agree with this ; take a breather for yourself & put her to one side - for now - at arms distance. Maintain your relationship like that if you can .....and play the long game. Her cronies will get tired of it eventually and so will she. It's very tiring living like that, enrlraged at everything.....Just to add my two pennies worth... don't wash your hands of her, as this will just affirm the belief that as her parent, you don't care or understand her, whereas her new found 'family' of allies 'will'.
bleeping delusional and dangerous. If he has something like a GI torsion or obstruction it's a medical emergency, and him wasting time blaming him something that is literally impossible is beyond stupid.
Everyone has already given great advice. I’d just add that a distant relative of mine became rabidly anti vax and disowned her Mum. A slightly similar situation. With hindsight, I can see some things went well and done less so. The Mum was advised to not take it personally and to send a calm, sensible letter laying out her views and her love for her daughter then not getting involved and keeping the relationship slightly at arm’s length. She came around in the end but I think the Mum ruined things by going on about wanting an apology for her daughter’s behaviour.Can I just thank you all on this thread. You’re all truly intelligent, kind, empathetic and sane women and men. I don’t know what I would have done without this thread the last few years. You ARE my therapy! X
I mean it sounds so fake I doubt it actually happened, its probably just a tank fantasy.I actually feel for that poor doctor thinking he is dealing with an extreme case of FGM / more likely MGM and the realizing the idiot probably paid for that to happen .
and no you don’t bleeping live stealth - everyone knows
It's like that old saying, the devil makes work for idle hands. People nowadays have so much leisure time, and a lot of young people especially, hardly work at all, so they have literally nothing else to do but trawl through the online cesspits, looking for somewhere to fit in. They're terminally offended, if theyre not moaning about JKR and the terfs, they're whinging about the environment, (although paper straws are a step too far apparentlyI'm reading a (fiction) book about the Vietnam War and it really made me think.
50 years ago teenagers were being conscripted and sent off to a doomed war to witness unimaginable horror and violence, and hundreds of thousands were killed or maimed. The average life expectancy of a pilot in Vietnam was something like 30 days from arrival.
Now we've got kids crying online and traumatised because someone (correctly) referred to them as the pronoun that matches their sex.
We are living in the easiest, most privileged of times in human history, and I'm sure the idleness has created as many problems as it's solved.
Not that I'm suggesting we send kids to war. I'm a woman and a feminist, and war is a male pursuit, I just think there are some people who've had it far too easy for far too long and their resilience is none existent as a consequence.
Yeah you’re spot on. When I had a really bad bout of IBS and didn’t know what it was, I had a pregnancy test and then an ultrasound. They didn’t give me an internal at all.I mean it sounds so fake I doubt it actually happened, its probably just a tank fantasy.
If this person passed as well as they're trying to claim then step 1 likely would have been a pregnancy test, followed by an ultrasound to make sure it wasn't an ectopic or twisted fallopians etc. I've never heard of a Dr going straight to a pelvic exam.
I get really annoyed about these men appropriating women's periods. Putting to one side those for whom a period is a fetish
Translation: “So long as they bow to pressure on demand and ultimately vote the right way, we don’t have to excommunicate absolutely everyone guilty of ideological lapses.” When McBride said, “There’s room for nuance in this conversation,” what she meant, incredibly, is that a Democrat may temporarily express discomfort on the issue, provided he or she gets back in line in time to vote.It wasn’t the language that I would use… The sports conversation is a good one because there is a big difference between banning trans young people from extracurricular programs consistent with their gender identity and recognizing that there’s room for nuance in this conversation. The notion that we created this “all-on” or “all-off” mentality, that you had to be perfect on trans rights across the board, use exactly the right language, and unless you do that, you are a bigot, you’re an enemy. When you create a binary all-on or all-off option for people, you’re going to have a lot of imperfect allies who are going to inevitably choose the all-off option.
What ends up happening is the left excommunicates someone who not only — Seth voted against the ban on trans athletes, but we would excommunicate someone who uses imperfect language — yes, again, not language I would use. But we would excommunicate someone who’s saying that there’s nuance in this conversation and use this language that we don’t approve of — yet still votes “the right way”? That’s exactly what’s wrong with our approach.
