New acct to protect my main.
I really don’t know where to even start. JNMIL is now exJNMIL (is that the right abbreviation for that?). She had a hand in the separation for sure. However, that was years ago now. My son was 3 when his dad and I split. I could have filled JNMIL boards with a new post every single day when my son was little (and also during that split. exJNMIL was so controlling and manipulative.) Let’s just say, one time I read a post about a JNMIL trying to breast feed her grandchild, and that story legit unlocked a new fear for me. I could have seen her doing this.
To start, my sons dad (let’s just refer to him a exFDH…we were engaged when we split), and I are on great terms. We coparent very well and we are very good friends.
exJNMIL is manipulative, attention seeking, controlling and loves to treat DS as her own son. Even worse, she’s so overly nice and sweet to your face and anyone just meeting her would think she’s a saint. But in a flash, she will talk shit about you behind your back. When DS was a baby, I worked nights and she would repeatedly, despite me asking her not to MANY times, go to my house in the middle of the night to take over parenting duties if exFDH called her or had even the slightest concern. This ended up being often, 1-2x weekly. (ExFDH used to have some real issues detaching) And she used to have her own little wardrobe for DS when she watched him and would never touch any of the clothes I brought. She would change him as soon as I dropped him off. For his 1st birthday, she completely took over the party planning, like completely. Made it all about her. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Present day: She used to live very close, but out of bitterness towards her sister-in-law’s, she and exFFIL (he’s wonderful, no sarcasm intended), moved to warmer places 3 years ago and only spends 3 months of the year instate. And when they are instate, they now live 2 hours away to just continue to stay as far away as possible from her SILs. In theory, this is really great for us, except she constantly complains about missing DS and expects me and exFDH to bend over backwards to create time for her with DS when they are instate. Last summer exFDH was having money issues, and exFJNMIL literally told him to get a side job even on his weekends with DS so that she could have him during that time.
exFDH and I do not sympathize with her when she complains about how much she misses DS. She doesn’t even come back for holidays and her distance is 100% her choice. She expects us to let DS practically spend half his summer with them over 2 hours away. exFDH and I both agree to avoid him being alone with her. She has made such a huge deal over wanting to just have alone time with him, it’s making both of us uncomfortable. And, she has guilt tripped DS in the past into spending more time with them.
Example: Last summer, He was bored at their little house with nothing to do and called exFDH asking when he was coming, and exFDH heard exFJNMIL say “Aw hear that exFFIL? He wants to go home and doesn’t want to spend any more time with us” queue this fake boo hoo cry she does.
That summer when they got into town, she came over to my house with a calendar thinking she was going to be writing down all these dates and weekends that she was going to be able to have DS (I have him the majority of the time). Well, she left disappointed. I had him signed up for camps first of all, and second of all I want to spend time with my son during the summer. Well, I found out that she had been telling exFDH how stupid it was for me to have him in day camps a couple days a week when he could be spending that time with her. Really? Away from his peers and friends and all the activities he enjoys? I literally just laughed.
If you’ve made it this far, you’re a trooper.
A couple weeks ago she messaged me saying that on DS last day of school, they are going to come down and surprise him when he gets off the bus and then “how about I take him up to the cottage for a few days after that?” I told her they are welcome to come down and stay for dinner, but that I am taking him to a baseball game the next day. Her response and I quote: “Aww that’s a nice invite. Thank you . We were hoping to be able to spend a couple of days with him. Could we come down [2 days later] , surprise him and then take him up to the cottage?” Well, that would be Father’s Day which is messed up for her to want to do that, so I told her it’s up to exFDH since he has him on Father’s Day. ExFDH and I, having talked on the phone about this conversation before he responded, says “I’m down to bring him up for Father’s Day weekend for sure. It would be cool to do some fishing with dad for Father’s Day and DS.” Her response “sounds good.”
Since then, exFDH continues to share messages with me from her trying to convince him to let her have him during basically all of his time this summer. exFDH well say that he wants to spend his summer with his son, and exFJNMIL will say “you can see him on the drive up to get him!” Or some equally ridiculous statement.
This is the first summer that I actually have exFDH standing up to exFJNMIL with me. Usually he caves and will oblige because he’s worried what kind of retaliation will follow or what rumor she may start about him.
There are so many severe JNMILs out there. Sometimes I honestly wonder if I overthink or overreact to some of these things, and then sometimes I snap out of it. What are your guys thoughts?

READ THE FULL POST BEFORE INTERACTING
Hello everyone, I'm Ylenia and I've been reading tarot cards for more than 3 years. Recently I've been working on further developing my psychic abilities and learning to channel, and I would love to practice by giving some psychic (no tools) readings.
Detailed feedback is mandatory.
My readings are meant to provide insight and guidance, therefore they won't have any predictive qualities. Please refrain from asking for outcomes or any kinds of future related questions.
Keep your question specific, open-ended, and about yourself; inquiries regarding self-development and self-discovery are highly encouraged and will be prioritised.
The only relationship related questions I am open to doing are: - What is the purpose of a well-established relationships either from your past or present & what it is meant to teach you; - How can you heal from a past relationship and move forward with your life. Keep in mind that I will not be looking into the other person's thoughts and feelings, and the reading will still end up focusing mainly on you.
In addition to that, I will not answer questions related to health, pregnancy, death (including deceased loved ones), past lives, curses, entities, soulmates, twinflames, sexual matters, lottery, legal and financial matters.
If you're interested in getting a reading, leave a comment down below and I will reach out to you. Please keep in mind that not everyone will be chosen.
Unsolicited DMs will be blocked.
You must write a detailed review of your reading within 48 hours of receiving it, otherwise you will be reported to the moderators.
I will not read for you if: - You have low karma; - You're constantly asking for readings; - You haven't left at least 5 PUBLIC detailed reviews for other readers; - You do not respect the rules above.
You WILL get blocked if you know you do not meet these requirements and comment anyway.
All of the readings will be sent as written reports. Please be patient, as it might take me a while to get to those who have been chosen.
My readings are for entertainment purposes only, and they are not a substitute for professional and legal help. I am not responsible for any of your decisions, your choices are personal and your responsibility.

I'm an older man looking for a girl who wants to be close and intimate with me and is willing to get pregnant. You're tired of waiting for a guy your age and you're turned on by someone like me. You tell me you want a baby and you're ready to let me give you one. It would be sweet to make passionate love with no condoms and you would be off the pill. I'm white mostly but it doesn't matter what race you are. It might happen this summer for us if we try. I'm in San Jose but can meet in Fremont or Milpitas.

Full dislcaimer below. TL;DR: We're not Bethesda staff, this is an automated post.

I recently moved to a tranquil small town, excited to start a new chapter in my life. Little did I know that my dreams of peace would be shattered by a neighbor who seemed to be consumed by jealousy. This neighbor, an ex-Marine veteran, resided across the street and made it clear that he had a problem with me.
From the moment I settled into my new home, I noticed his glares and hostile demeanor. But it wasn't until he began using his black pickup truck as a weapon that I realized the extent of his animosity. He made several deliberate attempts to drive me off the road, putting my safety at risk.
To make matters worse, his friend, who drove a silver SUV, joined in the intimidation tactics. This person followed me home, performing U-turns in my driveway, and trailed me to various locations. Their sole purpose seemed to be to make me feel unwelcome and persuade me to leave the neighborhood.
As time went on, I couldn't help but feel targeted and bullied. It became clear to me that this ex-Marine veteran wanted me gone. The more I stood my ground, the more relentless his actions became. I refused to let fear dictate my choices, but the constant harassment took a toll on my peace of mind.
What struck me even more was the realization that a few neighbors, close friends of the ex-Marine veteran, were making false reports about me to the homeowner's association (HOA). It felt like a concerted effort to tarnish my reputation and make me appear unworthy of living in the neighborhood. The discrimination was undeniable.
For the past ten months, I have endured this relentless campaign against me. However, I refuse to be intimidated into leaving the home I worked so hard for. I believe in the power of community and the strength that lies in unity. I am reaching out to fellow neighbors who have shown kindness and acceptance, hoping to form a support network against this unjust treatment.
It is my sincere hope that by sharing my story, I can raise awareness about the discrimination I am facing and find guidance from those who have overcome similar challenges. Together, we can shine a light on the darkness that threatens to engulf our community and stand against injustice in all its forms.

As you have likely seen on various other subreddits over the past couple days, Reddit recently announced changes to its API pricing that will effectively kill the ecosystem of third party apps that many users use to access Reddit. To many users this may be only a minor inconvenience forcing them to use official Reddit sites and apps, but to others it may mean losing invaluable tools for moderation and accessibility. There is a growing movement to protest against this by temporarily disabling subreddits from June 12 to June 14. Read more about the protest proposal here.
This issue affects a significant portion of users across Reddit, and we have decided to allow the community to choose our course of action on this issue.
Please use the Poll below to cast your vote. If a majority votes for the "Yes" option, we will join the protest. This poll will automatically close on Saturday at Noon MST.

With the recent news on 3rd party apps being priced out of existence ([see apolloapp notification here](https://www.reddit.com/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/)) there is a call to close subs across all of reddit.

I’ve been fasting hard from porn for months now. 😷 It was so hard shaking the urge at first. I was STRUGGLING! 😰 It would be days where I was STUCK, sitting at home alone, staring at the cursor in the search bar blinking; 😶 angel on one shoulder, demon in the other, because I saw a picture or heard a song that triggered me to go lust on women online. I knew if I even typed the name of the site into the bar, it was a wrap; I was praying so hard for the strength to be able to slam my laptop closed, and walk away.
Today, I’m not facing those withdrawals at all. 😁 I see and hear things that would have done me in not too long ago and I just keep on.
What’s so strange is that that I’ve noticed Satan trying to find a new place in my heart because of it. I craved a cigarette the other day out of NOWHERE. 🤢🚬 I’ve NEVER been a tobacco smoker in my life! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve smoked a few squares, and vaped a few times, but it was always with other people. I’ve never in my life been on my own craving a cigarette. Still, that day, I was just like “yea, I could go for that”. 🥴🥴🥴
I had to laugh and thank God for the discernment to recognize what that was. It’s pathetic how weak the enemy becomes once you start empowering God’s Spirit within you. 💪🏽 I’m coming after my diet next; my stomach was JUST flat again, 3 years ago. I’m tired of looking at this gut. I KNOW if I just keep praying and fasting it ain’t gonna be nothing the devil can do with me. 💯

The new episodes have made me severely worried about the future of this season. Ivy is this seasons lexi- without her there is no drama whatsoever.
There’s a few ways they could go about this now;
Make her like Meera, where she returns during casa and couples up with our partner and stir up unnecessary drama, which just feels pointless and like we’re just going back to season 5, and we all don’t want that.
Make her like Hannah, where she returns and jeopardises our couple, but doesn’t actually go for them, and actually becomes a li herself. (Which in my opinion, is one of the best ways they could go about it if they wanted to bring her back…)
Introduce a new character to stir up drama and leave Ivy to disintegrate in the pits of love island early leavers along with Hazeem. This is probably the most likely scenario? But knowing fusebox they probably close their eyes and throw a dart to decide what their characters are gonna act like.
Or they make one of the existing characters a drama stirrer. I think this was teased with Amelia but honestly? This is like the worst way to do drama. Bella is more interested in MC than creating drama, Grace seems like a do anything for her besties person, and would probably only get pissed if you tried to take ozzy which is valid tbh. Then there’s Amelia, and I swear I’ve said it before but the whole “evil sister” thing is done to death and unless you either bring Ivy back as a Hannah type character, or create a character specifically for drama (like an Ivy 2.0 or someone who ramps it up and instead of flirting they straight up steal your partner) there’s not really a good option here for drama now.
But if Ivy stays, who would leave? Well, Bella has to stay since currently she’s this seasons only female LI so to have her dangling in front of us, then snatching her away so quickly wouldn’t really be fair on the player. I’ve see a lot of people say Grace, which I disagree with. She has to be there to create tension between Ozzy and MC. If she’s gone, so is the tension and that plotline would become boring and stale. Amelia is interesting since I honestly could see her as a replacement instead of Ivy. She has a reunion with her sister that she hasn’t seen in ages then she’s ripped away from her again so quickly. The audience obviously wants to create tension between these twins (see the public voting for MCs partner to couple up with Amelia), so what better way then getting rid of one of them just as quickly as they were introduced?
But I still don’t think these are good options, and getting rid of a girl was obviously shoehorned in. In my perfect world, there wouldn’t have been any dumping since there’s no need for one. Numbers are even and unless they’re adding specifically one new girl, this whole dumping was pointless and an excuse just to get Ivy out early. Shame really since I felt like Ivy had potential and it’s most likely just going to go to waste.

I'm sure all of you are well aware at this point, but Reddit is planning to kill support for third-party apps and APIs very soon, in an effort to get everyone to use their official Reddit app that is extremely user-unfriendly compared to the third-party options out there. This will also affect many bots that are used by moderators and users site-wide to help keep out spam and the like.
To steal a quote from a dropout post on this matter as well: "One of the biggest effects that this will have is making it so blind users are basically unable to use reddit. Their official app is very screen-reader inaccessible, so people who use screen-readers will no longer be able to use reddit with these changes. Check out the link below for more information. https://old.reddit.com/Blind/comments/13zr8h2/reddits_recently_announced_api_changes_and_the/"
Many subs are planning on going private on June 12-14 to protest these changes, and as the sole moderator of GameChangerTV, I would like to announce that I fully plan on this sub participating in the blackout. We are far from the biggest sub out there, but any voice protesting these changes helps, no matter how small it may be.
I wanted to let you all know of this plan in advance, so that when the day comes and the sub goes private, you'll know why.

Sorry for any mistakes.
For context, I'm (13m) and I have 3 siblings.
So this all started 7 years ago when I was in preschool in Israel. Suddenly, my parents told me that in the summer we were moving to Nevada. I was upset and told them that I didn't want to go, but they didn't listen. I don't blame them; I was only 6 years old. My brother was in the third grade and had a phone to talk to his friends, but I didn't have one.
When we arrived in the USA, we enrolled in the best private school in Nevada (it's actually a fact). The school covered kindergarten through high school. Unfortunately for me, I found out that they taught reading and writing in kindergarten, and I was placed in the first grade. So, I had a hard time learning the language at first, but after a year, I was fine. Our house there was big with a huge backyard, complete with a playground, a pool, a trampoline, and more. After a year, I loved living there, and my family became close with another Jewish family in our community. Their kids also attended my school, so I had plenty of friends. It was awesome.
However, in the second year, my mom started traveling to Israel every other week, and things became difficult. She cheated on my dad and spent all his money. He had to sell two houses just to cover the expenses. Then, she gave him an ultimatum: either we go back to Israel, or she would divorce him.
I was devastated, and the worst part is that even after we returned to Israel, my mom still divorced him, even though he had months to legally bring us back but chose not to because he thought it would be too cruel at the time. Only my dad and I cared about the situation. My brother was happy to have his friends back, and my mom bribed my sisters with candy (which still works to this day).
Now, five years later, everyone seems to have moved on, but I'm miserable. I don't have any friends (when I joined a friend group, they turned out to be toxic and talked about me behind my back). At least once a week, I think about what could have happened. The school was so good that I had a guaranteed successful life. I can honestly say that I learned things in first and second grade there that they only taught in the sixth grade. I know my mom is mainly responsible (that's why I have the lowest legal contact with her), but my dad is the one who didn't take action, and whenever I look at him, I can't help but think about what could have been. But I've been feeling bad about it and wanted an outsider's opinion.
So, AITA?

So I've been trying to study chest binders for a medical research purpose. I'm a bit lost with my reviews on different binders as I'm helping a friend out to start their chest binder initiative in a country like India where the awareness is almost close to none.
I'm reaching out to you guys to share your reviews of the brands and binders that you've used/ are using? If they are swim friendly, skin friendly, breathable, discreet, compression level and anything in case I missed out. And while researching I'm bit lost which medical professional/ do should I consult when it comes to the safety of the ribs and lungs and to know what is the exact amount of compression one needs to bind safely?
Also, during my research I found out a lot of binders squishing out from the armhole side (especially GC2b) coming from a personal experience. Is it normal and safe medically of does it have it's cons?
Adding to it, I've been wearing L size GC2b binder which seems to fit pretty well for me yet the XL one is tight, as contrary as it sounds but this is true and wondering if anyone also faced the same?
This is a bit of an urgent basis, looking forward to y'all precious reviews

So I've just recently come to terms with the fact that I like older men (38+) way more than guys my own age. However, not only do I still live with my mother, but I also have a very close relationship with her and the rest of my family. I haven't even attempted an age gap relationship this large before but I already know it's gonna go up and be an absolute poopshow because both my mother and father might actually lose their sanity if they saw me with someone close to their ages. (my mother is 52-53) and dad is maybe 48)
Have any of the girls on here had to deal with this? How could I even go about doing this, my mom wants to see me get married and have grandkids so I can't hide a husband and children in the future. Not to mention the family barbecues are gonna be so freaking awkward 😭
any advice from anyone helps, thanks in advance <3

Hi, sorry I didn’t update before, it’s been hectic, between my kids routine changes with the school year ending, my wife, my business, and the situation with my ex, I haven’t been able to even watch the last season of Succession.
First I want to clear some things.
-I saw a lot of people got fixated on the fact that I gave the condo to my ex, I get it, but in the moment I was just so low, I still had some love for her too I guess, and I wanted to get rid of everything, so I thought “well, she will need a place for her and her child and it will be faster to just give it to her”, so I did, even against my lawyer’s advice.
-My wife did not cheat on me, she slept with someone weeks before we even met, then we met, a month after that we went on our first date, 2 months into our relationship she finds out she was pregnant, we talked and moved forward but slowly, we didn’t move in together the next day, we just stayed together to see how thing would go, it could have ended at any time, but it didn’t, and we moved in together when [kid] was almost a year old.
-MIL has some weird spiritual thing with some of her friends going on since forever, it never bothered me really, but I do think some of her views are questionable, I did mention to her that I gave my ex the condo, she said “but you don’t know if she still has it”. Someone said that that’s what she thinks because she cheated on FIL and my wife oand her siblings may be a product of that, honestly I don’t feel comfortable bringing that up with my wife right now or anyone for that matter, so I won’t do that.
Okay, so, a few things happened.
I got all the documentation about the divorce, I made copies and hand them to my wife’s family and made sure everyone could see the whole thing, I got some mixed reactions.
There were people who told me they knew my ex was clearly crazy from the beginning and said next to nothing because they thought it was obvious but that those who believed her were just as crazy so talking to them would be like talking to a wall so they just move on, they did apologize for not saying anything, they didn’t think it could be so detrimental to me when “it’s clearly fake”, I’m not mad at them now, with most of them we’re not exactly close, they’re extended relatives.
Others did believed my ex at first because she had “evidence”, but after showing them my documents they apologize profusely, and said they would support me suing her and be witnesses and such.
And then there were those who still believe my ex, like cousin, cousin’s wife, aunt, and a few others who are close to them that accuse me of falsifying documents. BIL who’s close to cousin has said nothing about anything, he doesn’t seem to be on their side but did not admit he was wrong either, just silence from him.
I filed a restraining order, the temporary one was denied, but I have a hearing schedule.
I had a meeting with one of my biggest clients last week, we’ve known each other for a long time, professionally, we’re not friends, but he knew I got divorced years ago, when he arrived at the reception I received him and asked him to follow me, he stopped me and said someone went to his office and told him about me abandoning a child, and asked me if it was true, I said it was false, told him a brief recap and offered to show him my divorce documents, he said it was not needed, he trusts my word and offered his help if I need it in the future, we moved on to our meeting. I was really pissed that she actually went for my business but then something even worse happened.
My lawyer has been drafting a cease and desist letter and I was debating whether I should just sue her or wait for the letter, then Saturday happened.
I took my kids to the mall to buy some things for summer, school classes are over but their school still has some activities during the week and there’s a big event next weekend, and other things we needed to buy things for. We went and left my wife at home to relax, it’s getting harder for her. When we came back I gave the kids some bags and told them to go inside with them, mama has a snack for them, I would handle the rest, I do a few trips in and out of the house, and when I’m finishing unloading the trunk I hear “mommy?”, I turn around and there was a little girl standing there, I was confused, the girl seem scared, then I see my ex approaching, she tells the girl “yes, that’s what she was supposed to be”, the girl was still and silenced for the rest of the exchange, but my ex went off on me.
I’m paraphrasing here but this is basically the exchange:
Ex: I can’t believe you wouldn’t want to be in her life, she’s an amazing kid, an innocent kid that did nothing wrong, you just abandoned her, and for what? For a random whore who sleeps with everyone, gets pregnant and then makes you responsible for her kid.
Me: wasn’t it you who tried to do that?
Ex: I was not a random chick, it was different.
Me: Yeah, the difference is that she did not cheat on me and I chose to be responsible, she didn’t try to force me.
Ex: That doesn’t make it fair!!!! How could you not think of her(points to the little girl) when you bring kids from the street and care for them(in reference to our two older kids being adopted), your kids go to private school while I have to move for her to go to the school I want her to go to, is she invisible to you?
Me: Are you nuts? Please leave, I don’t have time for this.
Ex: What? You don’t want your perfect little family see who you really are?
Me: You leave or I call the police.
Ex: as if you would do that, just be reasonable for once and we won’t have any more problems.
Then my wife came out of the house
Wife: I already call the police, they’re on their way, I suggest you leave before they arrive, [me] come inside.
I grabbed the last two bags and went inside, through the window I saw my ex grabbing the little girl be her arm are rather harshly and drag her to her care, then she left, now I’m actually worried about the girl.
The police showed up, we talked to them, showed them footage(we have cameras), even footage from my car, I filed again for a temporary restraining order and was approved, so that’s good for now. I told my lawyer to forget about the letter, I’m suing her ass.
And I can confirm she doesn’t live in the condo anymore, I’m not sure what happened to it or where she’s living know but we’ll see.
