HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN a similar SITUATION?

If yes, what did you do to help your child and yourself?

This is what happened:⏬

We were playing outside on the balcony, but it wasn’t very safe for him because of the dirt and other things, so we came back inside. I washed his hands. He was crying a little at that point.

I then tried to calm him down and breastfed him. He settled briefly but then started crying again. This time the crying intensified because he was very upset. At one point, his cry became silent and his body became stiff, and his mouth was open.

I immediately responded, held him tightly, and called his name out loud. After a short moment, his body relaxed and returned to normal.

He seemed a bit shocked afterward, as if confused about what had just happened. I comforted him and said, “Mama is here, you are okay.” Then I became very emotional and cried🥹

What do you think?

My spouse and I are very wealthy. Like retire today kinda wealthy and never work again. My husband works just to pay our bills for now but we are set for life whenever we want to tap into that money. My cousin says we are ridiculous for how we choose to live. We drive 1 car, we don’t eat out (I love to cook and it’s healthier for our fam), and we generally entertain our kids outside on the trail and park. We have worn the same clothes for the past 5-10 years. We just aren’t shopping kind of people. Are we ridiculous. If I’m being honest, our net worth is 3 million (cash, investments and property values today, no debt). Is it ridiculous we don’t buy stuff ? My cousin says we live like bums and he finds it ridiculous that we work and bring an income in from our rental properties. We also donate a lot of our money and buy nice gifts for others.

Stealing at work

Okay, someone or some people have been stealing at work

It's a place where certain people could set you up to make it look like you.

I don't have access to the equipment regularly, but sometimes use it during the course of the day.

It's things like a camera, two small computers and a laptop

Any ideas about how to navigate this if someone is trying to blame you or happened to do it when you were on duty?

Advice needed!

So my partners 30th is on tuesday and he wants to visit his family which is at least an hour and a half away. I feel awful to not cooperate but its such a long journey (i drive but he doesnt), its going to be 31 degrees on that day and our son only has 1 nap a day around midday which i think just isnt going to work because i dont see him sleeping on someones bed (he will probably play around and crawl/try to walk) and to top it off I'm pregnant. Am I being unfair to not want to go?

Also, we seem to have this issue every few months when he wants to go and see them but it's just so much effort for one day!

Just packed my bags. Now I don’t know where to go… did I over react?

My husband and I had the best relationship ever when we first started dating, but then some thing happened that made him depressed along with some other mental health concerns, and he got really heavy into drinking and became an alcoholic. We hit some of our lowest point, and he became abusive a few times, and finally after one really bad night, he agreed to get sober. He went to rehab/AA, and he came back the man I loved again. Things were great for few years. We had our baby, bought a house, and built a life. Then he relapsed one night, and that was all it took. That same night he got into a bad accident that left him permanently disabled. Life got way worse for us at that point, but I stood by him and he promised never to drink again, and I told him if he drank even one drop, I would take the kids and leave him.

Tonight I came home from work, and he home with our female neighbor and her kids, and they were both drinking. Empty bottles lined the counter, and they were drinking different things, so I knew how many he had, and it was a lot. I asked if she brought them over (she did. I don’t know why or why she was even there). But I didn’t say a word and just went back to our bedroom and started packing a bag. He didn’t say anything and stayed in the kitchen with her chatting, mainly because I don’t think he realized I was packing. When I came back out, I was crying and carrying bags, and this girl made no effort to move out of my or leave our home. She just sat there all cocky while I packed everything. When ge noticed I was packing, his face kind of dropped and his eyes looked sad and he said “are you really leaving?” And I said yes. I told our kid to put their shoes on, and said we were just leaving for a while, and they asked to stay but he told them to listen to me because mom is boss, and gave them a big hug. Once they were in the car, he was on the porch with this girl now, and I looked at him and said “you’re not going even going to pretend to stop me?” At this point his best friend pulls up and immediately realized we were fighting. I like this friend, and I do respect him, so I hated that at this point my husband was making me look crazy in front of him and this girl, and just laughing like I didn’t matter. I told him if he left with his friend then I would be delivering him divorce papers, and it would be more than a brief separation. He got in the car and left anyways, leaving me with this lady and her kids. I locked the front door, got in my car and left. I don’t actually have anywhere to go, but I feel like I can’t go back. The whole situation was horrible, and I’m scared if I put my tail between my legs and return, he’ll think he can do anything. He did privately message me and said he drank because his mind was taking him to a dark place, but I told him I didn’t want to hear it. He knew the rule, and then on top of it he lied about both drinking in the firsts place and about spending time with this lady. Apparently they’ve been hanging out every day, and her kids have a weird relationship with him too. His relationship with this woman is not sexual, but all emotional. I guess she’s unemployed, and he can’t work because of his disability, so when I take our kid to school and go to work, she comes over with her kids and they play happy family during the day, which is fucking weird. Like mini trips together and hanging out at the house and stuff.

I’m so disgusted and angry right now, but as I start to calm down and the realization that I have no where to go sinks in, I’m starting to feel like I acted to rash.
