Hehehe! So true!:happy:

Thanks everyone. I do think I was probably rude, but the situation happened fast, if I had time maybe I could have been less blunt and that would have made me happier in the end. If that's the worst thing I ever do though, guess I'll consider that pretty good. Lol She's an expert without...

We went out to eat and she mentioned American Sniper. Ironically, it was just a few days ago that I mentioned here her fairly new found penchant for ranting and making blanket statements about things she really knows nothing about. Well, I've already heard this particular viewpoint from her and...

So true. These things always do send us back into the hamster wheel again. Good luck with everything. Glad things are looking up with your daughter. Paris will be great! How exciting!

I don't know if the guy was lying on purpose or just misinformed, he said that's what had been written in the file. Clearly someone, somewhere had exaggerated the truth, for sure. They really did call him a lot...did his nut in because for whatever reason he doesn't do well with phone calls...

My veteran despises cheaters and would never consider doing it in a million years.

Agree with @Sighs , that vulnerability is what keeps me coming back for more. I love Tater and think he's hilarious and sooo interesting, but when he's being a dick or is overwhelmed (which isn't too often, thankfully) there's usually still that little boy, peeking through his fingers hoping to...

Hmm, maybe they're not as helpful as I had hoped. The ATOS rep who went to his house made mentioned that they had tried to call several times "and have left numerous messages." To which Tater said, "That's weird, how can they leave messages on a phone that has no message service?" The guy went...

Ahh, Governments...so helpful and always so helpful to their citizens. :p I looked up the channel 4 interviews, @Cj77 , it was interesting. It said that Citizens Advice has seen an 80% rise in people seeking council since ATOS took over. Yikes!

Hmm, I don't know. He's not yet mentioned "Maximus." He was in the middle of an appeal when his case was sent to ATOS, so after this, it sounds like maybe the end of the road. But he always seems to have something up his sleeve, so maybe not. Hopefully it won't come to that.

My sister and I had a "discussion" about the movie American Sniper after I watched it, she hadn't yet. But ever since she met her husband she has become sooooo opinionated and racist and when she gets going, she starts preaching like what she's saying is the God's honest truth and she knows...

If anyone cares to remember, Tater has been at war with the ESA for years and it seemed to come to a head a month or so ago when his case was referred to ATOS. He was sure it was downhill from there. They called non-stop and scheduled him (not at his regular Doc) for a physical. He didn't go or...

I'm so glad he apologized of his own volition. That's great! :playful::tup: You're right, it may happen again, but hopefully he'll remember this for a while and will bite his tongue.

It sounds like you took the high road. The boundary was clearly set and has been reinforced before. When he called you the name, instead of blowing up right then and there, you waited until you were calm and addressed it in a mature manner. It woukd be nice to know what the silence is about...

Congratulations, glad something is working out. Don't know what type of shows you're into, but the US version of The Office is my all time favorite when I'm blue. Maybe give yourself a few weeks then you can give this one a try - "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone...

Here's some more advice to think about a long while down the road when you're ready - The best revenge is living well. It's easy to think that the old phrase is stupid and that you want something more tangible, but when you think about it, it really is good advice because you're placing yourself...

Technically, it's a love song...or at least a pining after someone song, but with a little imagination, yep - I give you the Supporter's Anthem. Arctic Monkeys - Snap Out Of It And before someone takes offense, I'm not suggesting PTSD is a choice, that sufferers are obtuse, or always making bad...

There's no shame in being desperate and trying to convince him to change his mind or the long hours spent in the bathroom at work crying your eyes out when it didn't work. Been there, done that! I also understand not telling your parents the news yet. My mom immediately started in on bad...

I hate this for you. I'm so, so sorry this is happening. I'm surprised you're still able to write as you are...I don't think I'd be able to function at all for quite some time. There's no advice, unfortunately. Only time will help you, one way or another. *hugs*

That's interesting, @Sighs. I haven't delved into dissociation much because it's not a symptom I thought he had, but you're right, he very well could. I really have no idea.

This is true, I think especially of text/email conversations. I emailed Tater a completely innocent, non-threatening question about his Resurrection plant 3 times over the course of a few months and he'd never answer. Once we spoke in person, I asked him again and he said, "I've already told...

Gadgie, there is nothing like meeting someone when there is an instant mutual attraction and falling in love. It is the best feeling in the world! Alternately, the slightest bump can seem enormous. LOL I'm glad you two found each other and so sorry it ended. I hope you find each other again...

An update if anyone is interested... Last week, I asked Tater if he wanted to Skype and we agreed that we'd talk this week, but had no specifics set up. Today, he called me, rather out of the blue, given that the plans were so basic. We had a great conversation and he was in a good mood, back...

OMGosh! That first line was supposed to say I'm *NOT* far behind you! LOL Sorry! :p

I feel you, Sighs. I'm really far behind you in years and my life and career just made a 180 I wasn't expecting. One day I'm working full time making really good money and the next I had had enough and quit with no real backup plan. I had become so upset and tired with my former company that I...
