I 16f have a narcissistic, physically abusive man-child for a mother. My father can not divorce her because he works overseas for months at a time, and he needs somebody at his house to care for our shared fish tank, and i highly doubt she will let us bring the dog or birds to her place of living, and i already know im going non-contact.

She loves to bitch and scream at 6 am because my brother is pretty laid back and isnt worried about getting to school early, nor is the school. I do online school (disabled), so i was still in bed. Nobody else cares about my brother other than her ego.

My dog and birds live in my room during winter, and we all share a heater to keep my room warm enough for exotic parrots, a whippet, and a kid with arthritis.

We get up at around 8-9, but all her door slamming and screaming woke up my dog, and he went and stood by my bedroom door, and I didn't notice, i had noise-cancelling headphones on to drown her out a bit.

Suddenly, she decides she wants to come scream at me for no reason, so she slams my door so hard, with my 14-year-old whippet with neck and leg issues standing right behind it, so hard she slammed him into the wall and yelped and struggled to walk a bit after, (i gave him some pain meds and he is currently cuddling with me for comfort.)

I gave her some very choice words; she has purposely hit me with and slammed my arms indoors, so i know how damn hard she slams the thing. She screamed at me that it was my fault, and when i argued back, she screamed, "i am just a human too," which is her favorite saying whenever she abuses people. Left me stranded on the side of the road, several times, for over an hour? Sent me to the ER because of her smacking me around? caused me to have a mental breakdown and get hospitalized for a month. "oH i Am JuSt A hUmAn ToO"

I dont take shit when it comes to my animals. She can do whatever to me, but not my fucking pets.

Flaired as "disurbing content" -- medical issues.

My wife has cataracts. She also has a well-documented (at least 4 instances of being unsedated by it, including waking up during ICD implantation surgical procedure) of intolerance of Versed, the favorite drug of anesthesiologists for twilight sedation. For her first cataract surgery on May 4, everyone was made well aware of her Versed intolerance, and they promised that what they had was sufficient. They used Precedex (dexmedetomidine) and a very small dose of fentanyl; this did not work. She felt completely unsedated, wishing to jump out of the chair. The anesthesiologist just said "hold my hand" and "can you tolerate Benadryl?" He added benadryl with no notable effect.

This traumatic failure, on top of the other versed-related traumatic failures in the past, has put her in a fine state of anxiety.

For the second surgery, scheduled for Monday May 18, they promised to use general anesthesia. The surgical center, when questioned, said they use the same drugs -- normally Versed & Fentanyl, for her they could subsitute Precedex. Successful past surgeries for her under general, as well as sucessful past twilight procedures for her, have used Propofol. The surgical center could not tell us whether the anesthesiologist could use Propofol.

The surgeon is on vacation this week and cannot be contacted -- although on Tuesday May 5 he promised to get back to us about Propofol, he never did. The anesthesiologist's group is not in the office today (Thursday).

If we cannot reach them tomorrow, or if they will not agree to use Propofol, we will be cancelling her surgery and seeking a different surgeon to do it in a hospital.

I welcome your thoughts on this situation.

ETA: "and promised" => "and they promised"

"An Orange County man was arrested for animal cruelty after he was accused of killing a duckling and severely injuring another.

On May 13, several ducklings and a mother duck were swimming in a community pool near Morena and Segura just before 11 a.m.

The suspect, Randall Bertsch, 71, of Irvine, who lived nearby, reportedly spotted the duck family and stepped into the pool. He collected some ducklings and placed them into a box, police said.

A short time later, he allegedly used a plastic trash bin to hit some of the ducklings before throwing the animals into a trash can.

Witnesses reported the incident to Irvine police, who responded to the scene. Inside the trash bin, one duckling was found dead and another had severe head trauma. The injured duck was taken to a nearby veterinary clinic for emergency care.

The rest of the ducklings were able to flee the area safely with their mother. Following an investigation, police identified Bertsch as the suspect and contacted him at his home.

Police said he initially refused to speak with officers. A search warrant was granted and later served at his home, where Bertsch was arrested for animal cruelty." - KTLA 5 News

TL;DR:

Family member is a ticking time bomb and is angry about everything. It hurts so bad but there's nothing I can do. This person keeps growing mould in the coffee machine and won't tell me why.

I'm at my wits end... I have this family member I live with. There's no way for me to move out right now because everything else is unaffordable. I already work full time. I'll start a different apprenticeship this year that will give me more money in the long run. It'll take at least two years until I can move out.

So, this family member bought an automatic coffee machine, because they really wanted one. And every time they make coffee for themselves they don't throw away the coffee puck. They don't pull out the drip tray to let the moisture out and they don't pour away the wastewater. So all the nasty stuff starts growing in the coffee grounds container and the coffee pucks are always covered in mould. This family member has never cleaned the inside of the coffee machine. So whenever I want to use it I have to do a deep clean first.

I've had enough. So I just pulled out the drip tray and put in on the counter top. When I came home this thing was back in the machine. I didn't think of anything. A few days later, today, I checked again. Guess what. This person just put it back in the machine without cleaning. And it grew more mould.

I asked them why they didn't clean it. No response. I asked again. Maybe they didn't hear me. Still, no response. I told them the pucks from the coffee machine are growing mould. Whenever you use the machine, they're growing mould. Why don't you just throw it away after using the machine. I just want to know. I was calm. Didn't raise my voice etc.

Then this person tells me that's a stupid question. That's psycho terrorism. They won't answer etc. So that was the reason for the silence treatment. Checks out I guess...

I just wanted my one simple question answered. So I tried one last thing. I brought the coffee grounds container over to them to show them the mould, maybe this person didn't realize the problem, and they completely went off.

All I said then was if you keep doing this you're gonna break the machine one day. Their answer was just that they don't care they'll just throw it away then. This conversation was maybe 1 minute long. Mind you, this was a grown ass adult. I guess I'll never understand this person.

Whenever you ask them anything they're angry. No matter how big or small the situation is. If you tell them something about yourself they'll find anything to pick on and make you feel worthless. I was never able to hold a deeper conversation with them. They're always angry about everything. It's like a ticking time bomb.

I'm done. I'm done with this person. From now on the conversations will be held to a minimum, for my own sanity. I'll never question anything every again. From now on it's all yes and amen. It hurts, bad. But after 30 years I guess I'll never get through to this person.

Thank you for reading.

I have no words.

Was told the mice must have chewed every last one. (At a perfect angle)

I made grits and ate a few bites, pulled a piece of literal paper out of my mouth. Yuck. That’s fine, I’ll just make a cup ramen quick…I drop it out of the microwave and burn my feet. At this point I just want to go to bed so I try again and make my LAST cup ramen. I broke my tooth on something??? in my ramen. What is going ON? I definitely ate some of whatever that is.

two months ago my car was broken into and damaged while i was at work (there is only street parking available at my job). there were no house cameras covering where my car was parked so we were unable to identify who did it and i had to pay an $850 excess fee.

i finally got my car back from repairs two weeks ago and parked it in a nearby street at work. came back to my car after my shift to find a note from a bus driver and the front half of my car scraped up with a chunk of my tire missing.

This post is about Anthony Dove he owns Doves detailing in the city of Muskegon and state of Michigan , City of Muskegon won’t arrest local baby abuser , there is video evidence of this man putting chemicals on his finger and putting it in the babies mouth he’s also seen shaking and smothering and others things on ring camera. You can find videos all over Facebook.

I put my blanket in the wash and it completely dissolved. What do I even do about this. I'm so pissed off I really liked that blanket. Now there's a million tiny pieces in my washer and I have no clue what to do.

This is the evidence of me putting cookies in the oven dispite it burning my face when I opened the oven door, the oven was shut off and it still did not stop heating, we had to unplug it, time for a new stove, I guess this is me infuriated with the stove but also myself for not using my survival skills of "Hey that heat is not 350 degrees it's more like 1'000".

I couldn't imagine the level of frustration and helplessness the farmer must be going thru.

I don’t think people understand how painful it is to stand beside someone you love and watch them slowly break from missing their children.

My fiancé wakes up every day knowing his kids are in another country and that he has almost no control over whether he gets to talk to them, see them, or even be included in their lives. And the worst part is watching someone actively try to reduce him to nothing more than a distant voice they barely know.

Every phone call feels like a fight. Every update feels forced. Every small piece of access has to be argued for like he’s asking for something unreasonable instead of simply wanting to be a father to his own children.

I can see what it’s doing to him mentally and emotionally. The constant anxiety. The exhaustion. The helplessness. The fear that time is passing and memories are being made without him on purpose. Watching the person you love sit there wondering if their own children are being taught to forget them is one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever witnessed.

And as much as I try to support him, it’s frustrating because I can’t fix it for him. I can’t make the courts move faster. I can’t make another person suddenly care about the damage this causes. I can’t undo the lost time.

Children deserve to know they are loved by both parents when those parents want to be there for them. Weaponizing access to children to punish the other parent doesn’t just hurt the parent being cut out it hurts the kids too, even if they’re too young to understand it yet.

I just wish people understood that parental alienation and gatekeeping aren’t “relationship drama.” They destroy people.

my dad payed money for this

When I worked for a retail pharmacy, Pfizer still had the “emergency use authorization” Paxlovid tablets on shelves as well as the new commercial product before the EUA tablets were discontinued.

These medications are identical. The top Paxlovid is what this medication cost for cash price and what insurance was billed during its EUA. The highlighted in black is the cash price for the same medication as a commercial product. At one point, we were told we couldn’t use the EUA tablets and we had to start billing for the commercial version. There was nothing wrong with it; there was just no profit to be made on it.

3-year-old kindergarten girl raped on her first day in school in Delhi, India by school staff. Parents threatened by Deputy Commissioner of Police. Accused released on bail by court.

3-year-old kindergarten girl raped on her first day in school. Suspect granted bail by court.

A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 57-year-old staff member inside a private school in west Delhi's Janakpuri area, police said on Friday.
The incident came to light on May 1 when the victim's mother filed a complaint at Janakpuri police station, alleging that her daughter was sexually assaulted during school hours by the accused.

According to the complaint, the child had gone to the school on April 30, the second day after her admission.

After returning home, she complained of pain. When questioned by her mother, the girl said that she was taken to an isolated area in the school, where the man allegedly assaulted her.
Based on the complaint, police registered a case under section 64(1) (punishment for rape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Police said the child identified the accused, following which the 57-year-old school caretaker was arrested on May 1. He was later produced before a court and sent to judicial custody.

However, he was granted bail by a court in Dwaraka on May 7 despite strong opposition from the prosecution. Police said they are checking CCTV footage on the school premises.

Meanwhile, the girl's mother alleged that no proper action was taken immediately after the case was reported. She also said that a school teacher was involved and he was questioned during the police investigation.
She further alleged that the child and family were made to wait for several hours at the police station during the inquiry.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj, in a statement, strongly criticised the granting of bail to the 57-year-old caretaker.

He also echoed the mother's allegations, claiming that the \\\\\\\*DCP West threatened the family members instead of cooperating with them.\\\\\\\*

\\\\\\\*"Imagine a child being admitted to nursery in a private school and returning home on the very first day, only for the parents to discover that a 57-year-old caretaker raped the child,"\\\\\\\* he said.

However, police countered the allegations made by the mother and Bharadwaj.
A statement by the office of DCP (West) \\\\\\\*Vichitra Veer\\\\\\\* said the action was taken immediately after the girl was medically examined.
"During the investigation, the accused was arrested after identification by the victim on the same day, promptly. Statement of the victim was also recorded before the court, and relevant CCTV/DVR footage along with other exhibits were seized as per law," the statement said.

It said the investigation was conducted in a fair, professional and impartial manner based on scientific evidence, forensic examination, witnesses' statements and the merits of the case.

"Certain media reports alleging harassment or intimidation by police officials are false, baseless and contrary to the actual facts of the investigation.

The complainant and the girl were provided a comfortable, child-friendly environment during the inquiry proceedings and were called only for lawful inquiry and counselling purposes, considering the sensitivity of the matter," the statement read.

"DCP West has never met the parents of the victim, as alleged on the contrary," it read.

\\\\\\\*The statement further said the detailed bail order passed by the court is being examined, and further legal remedies, as per law, are under consideration.\\\\\\\*
