I really want those entiled relatives to find these videos, recognize the story they're in and Suprise Pikachu Face as a reaction to his "THEN YOOOOU DO IT!"
This this this this this. If I remember correctly this is actually illegal in most states for them to ask for extra money on top of insurance that pays 100%.
This is what was ringing through my head. This ain't a small 'woopsie doopsie' mistake type of thing. She used sensitive information to solicit financial gain from one of her patients. I think it could actually be considered bribery if OP did go through with it since we don't know what the money would be used for and further therapy sessions could be compromised because of the monetary incentive. Yeah 20 dollars is not a lot NOW but it sets up a weird future precedent that could be increased with time too.
I think that it would be considered Financial Abuse or at least attempted Financial Abuse to try and coerce a patient into giving you money. Although, I am guessing that they are in the US so I'm not 100% sure what laws or regulations apply over there with regard to protecting patients from abuse.
You can hear the emotional damage in his voice. 😂 Things just stack up, especially after reading sooooooo many redit stories of entitled families in similar situations. I hope Dabney was able to vent some of that out.
as someone who is disabled, I have a rule for myself, I'm more than willing to answer question IF they're respectful. if that's not met, tough shit, we, as in anyone who is disabled, are not obligated to share our life details with you, espascially because for plenty of us it relates to hardships.
Agreed 100% so many people ask me about my disability but I only engage with the polite ones. Far too many people seem to think they are entitled to details of a medical condition.
I'm more likely to tell a kid, because that helps them learn about disability. But rude nosey adults get joke answers. Attacked by shark, extreme BDSM accident, run over by bus full of nuns ect.
My grandfather had the best response to this ever, which he stumbled into purely by accident. When he was a child, he was out near a railroad construction site and found a blasting cap which went off in his hand, blowing off several of his fingers and rendering him blind. As an older man, he started to get a little scatter-brained and forget words. So he was asked: "How did you lose your sight"... "My mother always told me 'Don't play with that thing' but I didn't listen to her and I went blind". It made sense to him, but it was clearly misunderstood by the nurse he was telling, lol. He was a very proper and very shy man, old-school Catholic, and I didn't have the heart to tell him. Thank God he couldn't see the look on her face, he'd have been mortified, lol.
I am disabled and the last time I was in the hospital - PE/DVT issues - I have a certain rare condition (scrotal edema, google it but it ain't pretty!) I soon felt like the geek in an old-fashioned sideshow tent. A doctor would bring a group of young interns in to see me. I told them I was going to start charging admission to "see the show,"! 🤨
I like that idea: if adults ask you politely about it, answer honestly, because they're obviously curious and concerned. If they're being rude about it , then, yeah, screw them.
My mom, who was still out of it as a result of a c-section, once fell in the hallway of her parents house when she went to feed me when I was a baby. She said that I screamed because I heard her scream in shock and my grandparents ran to both of us. Grandma was holding me and grandpa was helping my mom up. They were outside enjoy the cool weather at the time. They. Were. Outside! Ops inlaws were idiots!!
Story 3: What's her problem? Invading people's personal spaces, trying to pry into other people's lives, and then getting upset when the energy was returned. Like, is she trying to bully disabled people?
Exactly! What was her reasoning? She doesn’t know OP nor would she likely ever see her again! She also was told repeatedly to back off by OP. Crazy woman’s friends are just as trashy expecting OP to put herself in a very vulnerable state for an ungrateful stranger. OPs friends need a reality check because we all know they wouldn’t oblige if a stranger approached them and asked inappropriate questions.
@10:05. The worst part for me is OPs friends seem to think she owes a stranger an explanation. Reminds me of the karens you see demand answers from people with cameras in first amendment audit videos
As a disabled person, I can tell you with all confidence that you would not believe how many people think that they have a right to our medical information just because they’re curious. Sorry, I’m not here to satisfy the Abled’s curiosity! I am not a sideshow freak here to entertain you! (for the right price…maybe lol)
Story 1: OP mentions a few things in the comments that paints a very good picture what is going on here. 1)She's read the JustnoMIL subreddit and its stirred up memories of these people. 2)SIL is FIRMLY on OP's side because guess what they treat her the exact same way. These people don't give a flying rats petard about the Mothers of their grandchildren, they ONLY care about the babies.
Just with how many stories where the solution is simply 'if it's not a big deal then YOU pay it' just gets tiring to hear, since it's gotten to the point where it happens over and over and over and over again
Story 1: It’s funny actually, Op has an out for whatever the in laws say. 1) They actually DIDNT hear her yelling for help, in which case they aren’t safe to be around for situations like this. 2) They DID hear (which is what happened) in which case they don’t care about Op’s safety. Either way Op has ALLL the proof she needs to keep them away from her. NTA Op, while i’m glad husband is standing by you, he needs to be more on your side imo. Good luck.
Perfect explanation for their actions option one you’re incompetent or option two you deliberately ignored an injured person on purpose which makes you bad people
I am glad the boyfriend/husband is on her side. I can understand his hesitancy though because you would not want to think your parents are really like that. That would be a really hard situation to be in if you don't have a****** parents normally. Lol I'd believe it if somebody told me my mother acted that way. But if you told me my dad acted that way I would have such a hard time believing that in my mind that he could even be that way, though I would still be on your side because you're my spouse.
Sorry, I don't understand the logic for point 1. How is OP better off by herself then she is with them around to do the things they can still do that don't revolve around hearing? Would she have been better off if she fell down the stairs with nobody else home and no one was watching the baby for 10 minutes then she was when she fell down the stairs and had people watching the baby but who didn't hear her to go help?
Last story: 100% the therapist tried to take advantage of their patient, that was seriously messed up. Major breach of trust, might even require reporting. Imagine she was doing this to other, more vulnerable/more suggestable patients.
Completely agree with you. Maybe it’s different with therapists, but I know a doctor’s office cannot accept insurance and then ask for additional funds (legitimate copays are different). You either accept the insurance or accept private pay. You can’t double dip. The doctor would lose their license if they did that. Plus, it’s the therapist’s own issue that the insurance doesn’t pay well. She should have taken it up with them or just not accept that insurance. Insurance companies enter into a contract with providers and have a contracted rate. You never get the exact rate, but something close if the provider is properly billing. The fact the therapist is putting that onto the patient-- she should lose her license. Like you said, she is probably doing this to others.
@@JamesDavy2009 Definitely no slight on therapists. To be fair, not all therapists are medical doctors or have PHDs. A lot are LCSWs, LMFT, or LPC (just to name a few), which is also great. I was talking in regards to how it is for a MD, NP, PA or PMHNP provider entering into contract with insurance providers, since that is what my experience has been as a previous behavioral health and then a primary care practice manager. Since I don’t have experience w/ other types of providers (I can’t remember if the story mentioned the therapists credentials…), I can only guess it would be something similar
Story one: Not only do I not believe that they didn't hear her, but there are 2 of them! One of the inlaws could have helped OP, and one could have comforted the baby!
@@sparkyshore3543I was thinking this as well. What is the in laws had slight hearing loss and were just in closer proximity to the baby than to op. Also what if the babies cries were loud enough to silence ops pleas for help. Honestly idk but if that was the case 0/5 buttholes for them
@EliEli-eq4zb OK? They seemed to be able to rush to the baby quickly enough so why couldn't they go help OP? They may not have been able to help her get up, but at the very least one of them could have gone to make sure she was OK.
How on earth does anyone think it’s okay to ask a stranger about their love life. Why on earth shouldn’t you be personal in return? I can’t believe anyone agree with that woman.
People like this are nosy and don't view disabled people as people, so they feel entitled to know what's wrong with a disabled person. That, or they think anyone who is young and disabled is lying and want then to prove it, because only the elderly are disabled in their eyes.
Story 2: Dude you can't cross a burned bridge. It's burnt down, there's no bridge. What is it with people like this? Be it parents, former friends, children, stepchildren. They think they can put the bridge or village to the torch, and somehow it'll still be there when they need something. It's no different than parents being shocked their scapegoat doesn't want to take care of them in their old age. Story 3: I'm with OP, you can be the bigger person if you want in these situations, kudos if you do...but you're not obligated to be. Story 4: OP said yes to helping the parents, not a deadbeat they wanna coddle. If they wanna shield their pwecious baby from reality, they can fork it up themselves
With the second story, I am a little on the fence about it since OP didn't mention how she tried to build up that relationship with her stepson. He already had to lose one mother who abandoned him and he was probably terrified that if he got too close to this new woman in his dad's life that she'd do the same thing. Sometimes I feel that people entering into a relationship where there's children force themselves too strongly on their stepchildren and expect them to have a tight relationship. That said, I feel that if the stepson came to the realisation that this woman was his mother and that she loved him as her child that there are a lot better ways to rebuild that relationship than outright demanding his stepmother (who he rejected) to do the same thing that she's doing with his siblings for him. In this case, I don't believe that any bridges were burned. It seems to me that they were never built in the first place and that's okay because that means that both parties can build them up together.
@@TiffWaffles but there were bridges that were burned. the stepson burned his bridges with his siblings and he burned the bridge that OP was trying to build. did you not pay attention to the story?
Story 3: people are too comfortable treating visibly disabled people as almost less than human (if not entirely less than human). If the woman was like a small kid, I could understand asking and not realizing how personal that can be. But sounds like she was at least a teenager, probably older, and she should know better by now.
Wasn't too long ago people literally put them in circus attractions. The even more disgusting thing is that this was one of the best ways for them to make money, and some even became wealthy that way 😧😧
And that lady doesn't mention having an autism diagnosis, so there's little to no possibility of her being socially unaware, especially since she reacted so viscerally to being asked similar questions. If you don't want the smoke, don't fan the flames. Smh.
@@threecheeseburrito Are you suggesting the weird lady who asked all those personal medical questions and then freaked out when she got her own...would openly tell the woman in the wheelchair "hey btw I have autism" if she had it? Lmao, as if.
I hate bad therapists, that last store made me sad. I have a great therapist now but I’ve had bad ones in the past. I hope OP doesn’t give up on therapy completely
I dont trust it at all honestly why would you pay someone to listen to you vent your problems my friends do that for free and frankly are more honest about it
@@akirarose3947so.. "just talking to someone" isn't therapy. Therapists have training in therapeutic techniques. Same way "someone rubbing your back" isn't a massage.
@@ACAB.forcutie i get the idea of it trust me but at the same time these are professionals and if stories like this are anything to go by if that is what a professional therapist is like then im sorry but no i would rather not waste my money on "the chance" of things getting better rather then me doing something that for even just for the short term makes me feel better
@@akirarose3947 well no, these stories are not good representation of what therapy actually is. They are a great representation of what it's like when therapy goes wrong. You don't stop driving after you see a video of a car accident, do you? If so, you may be in greater need of professional help than I realized. You understand that irrational fears are something therapy can help you with? Even irrational fears of therapy.
And unfortunately her spouse refused to have her back. I know OPs bf is reluctant but he respects her wishes at least for the time being. And how crass was BIL for telling OP to deal with it since his parents have money and will pay for everything for the baby? If that’s the case that needs to stop as well.
I absolutely loved rSlash's reaction to the parents who ask OP for money and give it to her no-good brother. If you're a decent person it will never stop baffling when all aunts, uncles and cousins creep out of the woodwork to admonish someone when they put an end to being exploited.
Imagine if you tripped over a log and someone rushed over to check if the log was ok. Looks like the OP has done her job as a broodmare and now means nothing to the in-laws. They have their shiny new grand baby after all.
Because their reactions could be one of two things. Either they didn’t hear OP which if the case they shouldn’t be left alone with a baby. Second case, which I think is what happened, they heard OP screaming but didn’t care. If that’s the case they shouldn’t be left alone with OP nor the baby.
Also the other SIL! The other son is only looking at the monetary benefits "Honey, it's OK if you are invisible to them, as long as they keep paying for things for the baby & we don't have to"!!! OP might gain some respect by going this route but SIL will continue to be treated like nothing, because they've aloud it so far.😢
Also, for story 1: Even if they didn't hear OP, wouldn't they think it odd that the mother of a baby didn't come to comfort them from crying after 10 minutes? If I were in that situation, I'd go looking for the mother.
Right? She was getting paid plenty I'm sure, but she still wanted 20 bucks, as soon as OP wasn't poor anymore. Who does that? It's immoral and unprofessional. And yes I'm sure against the rules of conduct. Maybe she has an addiction she's feeding because therapists are usually swamped with work.
The fact that a therapisf has the gall to try and ask for a tip shows how badly out of hand american tipping (culture) insanity has gotten... Once used to validate not paying people post slavery,now used primarily to warrant not pating minimum wage, or to just guilttrip extra profit from people.
The aggressive lady story: Op was simply following the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. Treating Karen like she wanted to be treated..
That last story. She should have got at least 2.5 that therapist put him in an awkward situation. Knowing that a lot of people would just say yes, even though they didn’t want to. She’s in a position of power, and she try to use it for her financial gain against somebody that she’s already getting money for….. Now that I think even more about this. 4 out of 5 at least.
And yet that's exactly what people like that expect. I mean they've always been given everything they ever wanted before, why wouldn't they expect it to continue?
Story 3: when did polite start to mean pushover, because last I checked polite doesn't mean giving random strangers private information just because they demand it. And when a stranger comes that you like that you don't politely decline you yell back and tell them to get the hell out of your face. Because most of the time when you try to be nice and polite they take out a sign that they can keep pushing. Also she came up to you asking about your love live so I truly don't believe she has the right to call you a pervert.
@lancerevell5979 hippa violation applies ro docaotrs or nurses accessing or giving away someone medical info without their consent. Someone asking about your medical history isnt a hippa violation
Story 4: Seriously, there seems to be a lot of "Well, then *YOU* do it, what's *YOUR* excuse?" situations, like if the aunt is so worried, then she can give the money since the money OP was giving was definitely not used well
It’s only fair since she’s the one who let the cat out of the bag. You can’t shake a soda can and run away from cleaning the mess. Auntie made this her circus not OP.
I f*cking know right? An irrelevant family member butting in to tell you how dare you withdraw the help and all that. As rSlash said, WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?! If you are this concerned about them, then YOU can pay them! The reason the aunt said this is because she's not the one paying, so she can say whatever the hell she wants.
What’re y’all on about? Op’s aunt let them know about the brother’s 2K. Without that, who knows how many other gifts he would’ve gotten? If anything, the aunt should be thanked for accidentally letting OP know. Would it be good if the aunt helped? Yeah, but not everyone has the resources to. If they’re the same age, maybe she’s also on a fixed income or has other expenses. Just because you can’t afford to do the right thing doesn’t mean you can’t want for others to do it as well. Or would you tell someone participating in a blood drive that they should just give all the needed blood themselves? 1) you need way more blood than 1 person can safely give, and 2) you don’t even know what their blood type is or if they’re even eligible to donate in the first place! It’s still good they’re asking for donations.
@@rafaeltrigo942 Are you serious? That Aunt is despicable. She has NO right tto demand the OP keep buying her parents' food ,when the money will only likely go to her deadbeat brother in one way or another. As was said, if she's so concerned, why doesn't she help out? Why is the responsibility on OP? And if, as you suggest, the Aunt can't afford it, that doesn't mean she has any right to demand it of others. She's a hypocrite.
Story one: I believe there was an update in the comments. OP made it clear that the stairs are really close to the living room where the baby was. She was calling her inlaws, screaming, for 10 MINUTES. She told her husband it was impossible for them not to have heard them and I don't remember what happened next.
Story 4: If OP wants to continue helping her parents, she can buy the basics plus a couple other things and take it to her parents. Or she could let them shop and she meet the parents at the checkout to buy their food. I hope she's done handing the money over
Story 2: I hate people who are adopted or have stepparents and think they are not their parent but when it comes to them having kids, they magically assume they would step up as “grandparents” You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You chose to exclude them from your life, they don’t owe you anything because you don’t know how to parent the kid of a person you knocked up.
Please try. Low key beg of you to try. You deserve the support of a professional. The fear of getting someone who’s not gonna be good for you is valid. But there are so many people who joie that profession to help. And like this op did. You can fire a bad therapist. You can tell them when they cross a line. And you can report them. Your worth the effort of shopping around for a professional that can help you.
Reminder that there are way more good therapists than bad ones. Don't let the possibility stop you from getting help. And you can always change therapists if you don't like one.
Story 1: “I stubbed my toe, but I did not cry like a baby. A baby does not have the lung capacity for what I did” Funny quote I think is from tumblr but the point is I guarantee I could yell legible words louder than a scared baby crying. And if the baby heard the noise of someone tumbling down stairs, again, I’m pretty sure an adult is able to yell louder than the thudding of their arms hits the steps. Then the MIL asks “What happened to you” meaning THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HEARD HER BUT JUST SAT THERE
MIL asked her what happened after OP hobbled into the room. People generally don't hobble unless something is wrong them. Ergo she didn't need to hear anything to have a reason to ask that question and you need to work on your gotchas.
@@mizu7662 how on earth did the grandparents not hear a woman fall down the stairs and yell for help but do hear a fussy baby? Genuinely, have you ever heard a person yell in a building? I don’t know about you, but every house I’ve ever been in had walls thin enough to hear yelling from any room. Also since she fell down the stairs and didn’t mention climbing back up, that means they’re on the same floor. Typically open spaces like a living room and dining room do not have doors between them to muffle the noise, actually the stair case is typically right between the living room and kitchen. Realistically, how far away could the mom have been from the grandparents that would soundproof the house enough to not hear someone yelling for help but do hear a fussing baby. Make it make sense
Story 3: Throw away those friends. Seems the whole world around thinks theyre entitled to your medical info, and I can't think of a more rude subject to interrogate a stranger over. This stranger needed consequences for her actions.
i really love Dabney's advice for family who call someone out for not helping friends or family also that "THEN WHY DON'T YOOOUU DO IT!" it peaked my head phone volume. that phrase is so prevalent on this channel it should be a meme
Last story: Im really sad that it sounds like OP is giving up on therapy entirely because of one bad therapist, that woman needs to have her licence revoked
TW: Seizure/blood Story 1: I have a 5 month old and personally, I don't like my baby crying out for a long period of time. I(21) had an epileptic seizure in late September and two people were home, my fiancé(21) and little(18) brother. I hit the stove handle or floor hard enough, yelped out, and was bleeding from my eyebrow because I hit myself hard. My brother and fiancé came to my rescue IMMEDIATELY. My fiancé or brother called my mom, she came home immediately and took care of my son(3 months at the time) while my fiancé and I were at the hospital. Due to the emergency, my baby was put last. When I woke up my brother was with me, my fiancé getting everything, and my mom holding our son. The point of this story is even with a yelling/crying baby the injured party is still first. The baby will be fine 100%. There was more than one adult and things were able to be done all at the same time. OP could've been helped and the baby could've been taken care. Edit to add: I'm fine btw. Just had to drop my fall college classes for the time being. Haven't had a seizure in about 6 weeks🥺❤️🫶🏻5 more months to go to get my permit.
The first story scares the crap out of me. I'm aware that MAYBE, and that's a huge effing MAYBE, the inlaws are hard of hearing... But even then. They heard the baby cry... I'm legitimately struggling to figure out how they "didn't hear" the OP's fall. They've got to have ignored them on purpose. And, gosh, I sure have hated some people before, despised them even. But even so, I just CANNOT imagine not investigating upon hearing a commotion as big as somebody suffering a fall. Which might sound like a dramatic way to phrase it, but remember that the OP described struggling to get back up and walk over to the MIL. I think they're lucky they could at all, it would have been super duper easy for the fall to result in such bad injury that they couldn't get back up at all. To outright ignore somebody in such a predicament calling out for help is colder than the ice age. To have to be around somebody like that is SCARY. Who knows what else the inlaws are capable of?
I agree. I also haven't seen anyone else mention this, but my first thought if I was the grandparents, and I find the baby crying all alone, I would immediately look for where mom is, and wonder why she isn't immediately checking on the baby.
100% What if op broke her neck or injured her spine? How long would she be left on the ground for. 10 minutes is way too long. They definitely heard her. They are seriously monsters. Shouldnt be near any babies, and lets go with their lie and say they truly didnt hear her? Again, shouldn't be around the baby anyway since now because of your hard of hearing if someones hurt you can't help them. So even by that logic they still can't be trusted. But hearing the update they for sure heard her. So disturbing..
Story 3: You can't ask someone a bunch of inappropriate questions then be upset when they start to ask you a bunch of inappropriate questions. If you're gonna ask me a bunch of disgusting questions then I'm allowed to do the same.
I've fallen twice in the parking lot in front of my apartment and each time someone walked right beside me and ignored me, wouldn't help me up. The first time it took me over ten minutes to get up and I was in absolutely terrible pain. I've wrecked my knee over it.
To the lady at the fair.....You did good! Some whiny, self entitled c- word comes up to you and DEMANDS your medical info is rude at best, deranged at worst. What is wrong with people? Ill love it when Rslash goes on his end of story rants❤
"What is wrong with people?" Unfortunately, many folks treat/think of the disabled like pets, circus performers, or zoo exhibits. They exist only to satisfy their own curiosity and amusement.
Story 1: Even in the extremely unlikely event that the ILs were just so laserfocused on "baby is distressed" that they didn't hear OP, at the 30sec mark of soothing the baby they should have noticed "that's weird, OP hasn't rushed in yet to look after her baby" and one of them should have gone look for her. But they didn't and yes, it's definitely more likely that they malicously ignored her, maybe not in the "let's hope OP dies" way and more them just not caring about her at all. The fact that the SIL agreed with cutting them off also makes me think they did something similar to her as well.
Story 3 (the wheelchair user’s story): it’s unfortunate that this kind of thing happens all the time. I’ve had people come up to me in a bar and, without saying two words to me, start asking how I have sex. I’ve had people demand to know what my diagnosis is. I’ve had people injure me because they were trying to force “help” on me. I’ve had people put literal trash under my wheelchair while I was strapped in on a bus and couldn’t move away. Ableism at it’s finest.
For story 1 and the Tiktok: not that it excuses it, but a baby's cry actually has a trigger on our brains. The reaction for every person is different, but almost everyone experiences an intense reaction. In most people it will trigger anxiety and maybe fear or anger, and it will actually cause your brain to hyper focus on it and tune out other stimuli. That said... That sort of phenomenon doesn't last too long until you "snap back." So, if OP was crying in the ground for 10 minutes, the grandparents surely would have snapped out of it enough to hear her at some point.
That first story reminds me of a few months ago. I walk downstairs and dad randomly asks "Hey are you okay? We heard all this banging and groaning coming from upstairs". ...Thanks for coming to check up on me... what if I was unconscious because I fell in the bathtub? Did you suddenly break both of your legs and can't walk up the stairs? If you hear banging and groaning, maybe, oh I dunno... check up on it? If I was hearing banging and groaning from downstairs, I'd be down there to make sure it's the TV!
Story 1: NTA. Honestly, I would've done the same thing as OP the moment when the MIL said "what happened to you?". Like lady, OP just fell down the damn stairs, and you both decide to ignore her completely and tend to the baby. I mean, c'mon! Priorities here man, OP could've broken her arm or leg! If my in-laws were this selfish, I wouldn't want their help either. "Feel awful for not seeing the both of you"? Not feel awful for ignoring a potentially mortally wounded OP? These people's priorities are messed up.
Story 1: so your BF doesn't care that you were in pain at the bottom of the steps for 10 minutes being ignored, he'll only agree with you because you're the mom? You sure this is the man you want to be with because his lack of concern for you is very not okay. And tell BIL, he can take his privilege bull crap and shove it where the sun don't shine, because he seems to believe since his family has more money they can do whatever they want with no consequence and he can go f himself. There is no possible way they did not hear you scream out to them, especially when they heard the baby just fine.
@@kaykay8855 No where does op stay were the grandparents started if the were already in the living room of course they would here a crying baby. She doesn't say where the stairs are, all she says is she wobbled over. Why would they ignore her on purpose they apparently help her out all the time? You don't have enough info yet your assuming malice.
I cant decide which I enjoyed more: the debut of Detective Rslash, Rslash ranting about his formative tik toks, or the delightfully familiar "THEN YOU DO IT! THEN YOU DO IT!!!!"
Story 3: telling that person to stop politely wouldn’t have done anything. That kind of person only stops when they’re dragged away, so OP actually made the best decision by standing up for themself and causing the Karen to make a scene big enough to warrant her removal.
13:05 to 13:56, bro, I was cackling so hard. I've been watching Dabney since his first year as rslash, I've never heard him get so exasperatedly emotional. God, that was good. I've heard the "then you do it" line so many times, but the delivery this time was *chef's kiss.* Followed up by "Sympathizing with these people," *chef's kiss* *chef's kiss.* Perfection. Beautiful. Hilarity. My face hurts from smiling.
Story 3: that’s a moment for what I call non-rhetorical rhetorical questions. Ask the questions you normally don’t expect answers to and get them. In this case, “who are you and why do you think your entitled to my medical history? No, I’m serious. I want your thought process.” And force them to give an answer or slink away in shame.
Your 'brain tiktok' regarding the husband who fell through the roof reminds me of a story of my parents. My dad was mowing the lawn and my mom took my baby self for a stroll. We were really isolated at the time, blocks of roads were made but it was all fields still, no other homes. Well, I somehow toppled over headfirst onto the pavement from my stroller. My mom began screaming. Absolutely hysterical screaming. My dad heard her over the lawnmower and dashed off of it still running. He ran a block to *pick me up off the ground to check if I was okay* Needless to say, they are divorced.
Well in the heat of the moment i dont blame him. It is natural to check on the small child who most likely cracked his head on the floor than go to the mom and see if they are ok while you are dying from blood loss. Sounds like a lot more went on than you think.
@@knsc2 I think you missed the point of this comment. Why would anyone expect him to check on the mom with the injured baby right in view? The point here is that the mom did nothing to help the baby who just fell on the ground. All she did was scream. The dad had to abandon a lawnmower and run to address the injury himself, as the mom did nothing, which is why he divorced her.
@@knsc2 ...My mom was the one pushing the stroller. She stood there over me for 3 minutes screaming in panic while my dad ran a block to even *check* on me. Do you understand the problem here? Obviously *someone* should pick up the child and make sure they're okay. I don't think you're visualizing "what went on" at all, mate. You're the only one coming in here and immediately thinking the dad is at fault for being a great dad...?
Story 1 : NTA.. Debra and Bob wanted op no longer around that's why they didn't help.. They got partly what they wanted not the whole way which is why they were surprised and asked " what happened to you".. op got lucky she survived...The bastard in law " they paid for everything for the baby" so what dork who cares what they paid for if the baby doesn't have his mom ... Story 2 : NTA.. nick is a selfish Dbag.. " your not my mother lady but care for the kids who is only your grandkids today since I need to use you".. stop with the low contact and go no contact.. Story 3 : NTA..There's a saying " don't start stuff you can't finish " well that POS started stuff op just finished it.." you could've been nicer" ohhh sure op friends op could've just ignored her bit it's more fun to bury jerks like that karen .. Those friends are always " nice" on someone else's health issues.. Story 4 : NTA.. op is it really weird that your bro attended the wedding since your scummy parents pretty much are giving him the $ that you give them..if the aunt is so outraged then she can help the dirtbag parents since they wanted to give everyone's money to the dirtbag brother.. Story 5 : NTA.. that therapist is such a con artist..go make money somewhere else lady not on op time..op should've told her " heres a tip lady find new people to work your con on since you failed with me"..
As someone whose best friend was in an electric chair until his passing- the op is NOT the butthole. Im proud of that OP for standing up for themselves.
@lostshadows768 haha yeah, my bad lol. The above reference is what he called it. It was his "electric chair". He had a great sense of humor. We laughed a lot. I miss that man so much.
Regarding person demanding medical details: There are so many nuances to this event. The most important of which is how it made you feel. Her INTENT should also be considered. Maybe she was just trying to engage and show interest in you but she was simply tactless and clueless, not malicious. Regardless, I’ve learned a great technique to shut people down in these sorts of intrusive conversations. When someone won’t drop their intrusive questions after I try to change a subject of redirect the conversation politely, I just stop speaking entirely for a moment while I turn to them, look them directly in the eyes as I stay quiet for another few seconds and give them the “I’m thinking about it” look. This usually has the effect of drawing attention from anyone nearby and quieting the room with anticipation of the answer. Then, in a normal level voice, which seems louder because of the quiet, I ask “why do you want to know?”. This has the effect of putting the spotlight on the other person who now has to explain themselves to everyone around why they feel entitled to information that you clearly don’t want to share. That person is likely to never speak with you again. They’ll speak about you but everyone will know that they’re just angry and throwing mud at you in an attempt to regain face but it will forever backfire with anyone aware of the situation.
Therapist story deserves a WAY higher AH score, what she did was ILLEGAL and entirely unethical for someone in her field. Beyond cancelling any further appointments op should have reported her
I think the bit of rSlash yelling “THEN YOU DO IT” needs to be clipped and shared everytime there’s a toxic family post on Reddit where a meddling family member wants to boss people around but doesn’t want to do anything on their own.
Story5: I would recommend finding a new therapist if you need one. Don't judge them all by that one person - however, _that one_ I would recommend reporting to her ethical board for malpracice. It is possible she accepted a reduced rate to accommodate insurance and not put you out of pocket, but that should have been communicated up front.
Everytime Rslash howls "THEN YYYYOU DO IT! THEN YOOUUUU DO IT!!" It makes me laugh so hard. I bet Lily adores when her Daddy tells her stories, because the way he can say even simple phrases like that with so much emotion and get so into what he talks about would make me giggle for minutes and clap my hands if I was a toddler.
The story about the woman asking inappropriate questions to a handicapped lady - your response was good, no matter what others say. However, I learned a technique to shut these people down that I think you might like as well. When someone asks you something that’s none of their business or that you don’t want to answer, respond with “why do you want to know my personal information?” That shuts them down and leaves them on the spot.
People frequently treat people with disabilities as non humans, and ask super invasive questions they would never ask a typically able bodied person. When I started dating my disabled husband people frequently asked intimate questions about our relationship.
The last story: OP needs to report that therapist yesterday. I just have a BA in psychology, but I've worked in hospitals and w MRDD clients. But even I know that what that therapist did is SUPER unethical. Some therapists do work on a sliding scale and charge more for wealthier clients so they can service low income clients. But those are therapists who don't take insurance- PERIOD. If insurance is paying than they get what the insurance company agrees to pay. There is no way in Hell you could go ask for more from a client you know has money- it's insurance fraud. Not to mention it obviously came up right after OP told the therapist something in a session. Therapy in a 'What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas' situation. Unless a client threatens to hurt themselves or others you do NOT bring up stuff outside the session. It's taking advantage of the client ontop of insurance fraud. Not to mention that therapist SUCKS. Not all therapists are good at their job, and even if they are it doesn't mean they will jive with every client. This therapist was sooooo STUPID too- they text OP EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE FRAUD... IN WRITING!!!! OP needs to dump this therapist. I'd recommend trying another but I wouldn't blame her if she didn't. This is why people don't do therapy- sh^tty shiester therapists.
Dang, I don't have the relationship I've always wanted with my mother-in-law, but I know unquestionably that she would come running if I fell down the stairs! Even if there were unpleasant comments after it turned out I was okay (I don't think she would, just worse case scenario) I absolutely know she'd thoroughly make sure I was okay and get me to the hospital if that's what was needed.
i am disabled! I've explained thousands of times my experience with diagnostics, symptoms, how it affects different parts of my life, prejudice and consequential conditions of my syndrome to respectful people if someone ask with politeness and genuine curiosity i don't mind at all because it makes me feel like I'm destigmatizing the condition for someone and it's a productive interaction if you ask in a mocking way or with the intention to bullying me, nah, I'm giving you that back
Story 1: I’m actually really concerned for this lady as my uncle became a quadriplegic from falling down the stairs and the only other person in the house was his grandson who he was baby sitting.
Story 3: I’m also disabled and a wheelchair user and it’s wild the questions complete strangers will ask you. I’ve gotten to the point that I tell people it’s incredibly rude to ask these questions. Absolutely NTA.
To be fair to your reaction to Story 1 it makes sense to get the toddler away from what could be some potentially sharp and dangerous debris so that you don't have 2 injured people. But after getting them away and making sure they don't/can't come back over (which should take no more than 30 seconds) then she should have come right back.
I feel like when it comes to strangers, if you’re not at work n minding your own business, return that energy. Being the bigger person can work if you see them often, others see you do it so they know the other person is wrong, and when you can see the results. If I ain’t seein you again, how you gonna know you wrong if I don’t return your energy and send you away in a tizzy?
You know what sucks about being invisibly disabled? You're treated like you're faking and you can get physically attacked over taking your legally allowed public accomodations and won't believe you when you have proof you're entitled to them.
Story 1: does anyone else notice that OP's SIL, the other mother of the in laws grandchild, immediately agreed with her? I wonder if they did the same to her, just ignoring her completely to look at the baby.
Story 1: nta if they're not willing to help you when you fall down the stairs instead choosing to be selfish and cuddle the baby what's going to happen if you have a heart attack or stroke? are they just going to ignore you and keep on playing with the baby because they "didn't hear you" pure neglect.
I wonder how many vulnerable patients she is taking advantage of like that. It feels really gross to use your position as a therapist to weasel more money out of your patients. That kind of behavior should be reported to hopefully protect others in the future.
Story 2 NTA. Though personally I’d probably still watch the kids. Given their dad’s behavior, they likely haven’t spent much time with your side of the family and I’d want them to feel included in spite of their dad. And also long term, building a good relationship with his daughters could lead to some revenge moments down the road
First story: OP is NTA. She was lying on the ground in pain, and her ILs response was to ignore her pain while she was on the ground and focus on the baby.. What if she was severely injured? She could have been lying there for an hour or more. They heard her. If the baby heard her, they definitely did. There was no excuse for one of them for not checking on her. Second story: OP is NTA. Her stepson spent years treating her like she wasn't family, and now he suddenly wants her to act like she's family? I wouldn't have wanted to help him either. Third story: OP is NTA. This Karen set the boundaries of the conversation by asking all these weird questions, so she can't complain if OP asked her the same. Fourth story: OP is NTA. If she doesn't want to support her irresponsible brother, that's her right. If she wants to know that her parents aren't using her to funnel her money to her brother, that's also her right. It's her money, so it's her right to refuse. Final story: OP is NTA. This therapist sounds unprofessional. I know there are issues with insurance companies not paying therapists enough, but this person was still getting paid what they agreed to take from the insurance in the first place.
Story 2: Bro, SHE could have been polite and just answered the questions. But, she's clearly one of those people who think of disabled people aren't actually humans, but circus attractions. Imagine you go to a Zoo and the Llamas ask about your sex life. EDIT: NTA. As someone who dated a woman in a wheelchair for a while, this makes me particularly mad.
S1: Even if you were to entertain the concept of them not hearing her fall down the stairs and call for help for 10 minutes, they still would have no business trying to 'help' with the baby for safety reasons. If they can't hear a whole adult fall down the stairs, how can you reason them being able to look after an infant lmao? Nta and any respect I would've had for them would've died that day.
Actuality Dabney, you take care of the easily treated ones first, then focus all your attention on the most traumatic injury you can safely treat. Rule 1 of triage is keep conscious people conscious.
You can't know who REALLY needs your help. That's why I carry dice around with me. "Hmm, I could help either person, but that guy owes me money - I'll give him a 4 in 6 chance." [shakes dice in hand] "Come on, Papa needs $20."
There is no damn way they didn't hear her! I was thinking the same as R/SLASH.. They heard it because the baby did who was with them! That is horrible and disgusting how they couldn't care less about her at all.. The husband is horrible too in my opinion for not seeing that this could have been worse of a fall and they left his wife lying there.
story 4. as someone who lives off 70 euros a week feeding myself and my cat (and recently dead bunny) i was able to live comfortably and healthy, how they can spend 2000 in a couple months is beyond me... concidering that they ARE able to pay their living expenses....
*First OP:* I'm surprised OP didn't tell off her MIL and FIL (and BIL, for that matter). OP fell down the danggone stairs, for goodness sake! OP is NTA. *Second OP:* FAFO strikes again. OP is NTA. *Third OP:* _see Second OP._ OP is NTA, but it sounds like she's surrounded by them. How did her _friends_ think she's TA?! *Fourth OP:* Time to pull out the handy-dandy No Contact™. OP is NTA. The _entitlement_ of these people! I think between this story and the first one, this is the most PO'd I've heard rSlash be. Rightfully so. *Fifth OP:* Yeah, the therapist asking for tips after OP mentioned his (?) disposable income was sus. OP is NTA, but I do hope he finds a new therapist for his son soon.
Nothing more refreshing than listening to Dabney lose his shit over entitled family members lmaoooo
"THEN YOU DO IT!!!" lmao xD
I really want those entiled relatives to find these videos, recognize the story they're in and Suprise Pikachu Face as a reaction to his "THEN YOOOOU DO IT!"
fr lol
OOF-DAH! Our Dabney was sure triggered today! LOL
i want a live reaction and see how furious he looks on blind reactions
Therapist story:
That was COMPLETELY UNETHICAL!
That needs to be reported to the Board ASAP
This this this this this. If I remember correctly this is actually illegal in most states for them to ask for extra money on top of insurance that pays 100%.
@@the3nder1I'm pretty sure it's all states.
This is what was ringing through my head. This ain't a small 'woopsie doopsie' mistake type of thing. She used sensitive information to solicit financial gain from one of her patients. I think it could actually be considered bribery if OP did go through with it since we don't know what the money would be used for and further therapy sessions could be compromised because of the monetary incentive. Yeah 20 dollars is not a lot NOW but it sets up a weird future precedent that could be increased with time too.
Yeah, that was at least 3/5 buttholes for a therapist. Absolutely not.
I think that it would be considered Financial Abuse or at least attempted Financial Abuse to try and coerce a patient into giving you money. Although, I am guessing that they are in the US so I'm not 100% sure what laws or regulations apply over there with regard to protecting patients from abuse.
the raw emotion RSlash puts into his "THEN YOU DO IT!!!!" really speaks to me on a deep level.
that phrase is so prevalent on this channel, it should be a meme. "how dare you stop giving my uncle money." "THEN YOU DEW IT!!!"
Such energy
I WAS LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY HAHAHAHAAH I FELT SO DAMN HAPPPYYYY🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can hear the emotional damage in his voice. 😂 Things just stack up, especially after reading sooooooo many redit stories of entitled families in similar situations. I hope Dabney was able to vent some of that out.
That line is gonna be stuck in my head rent free now.
I love how r/slash’s “THEN YOU DO IT” rampage gets gradually more aggressive as the episodes go on 😭😂 I hope this man has good blood pressure 😂
13:16 and on had me in tears
he definitely needs to get it checked if not 😅😂
Someone needs to make a compilation of "THEN YOU DO IT"
as someone who is disabled, I have a rule for myself, I'm more than willing to answer question IF they're respectful. if that's not met, tough shit, we, as in anyone who is disabled, are not obligated to share our life details with you, espascially because for plenty of us it relates to hardships.
Agreed 100% so many people ask me about my disability but I only engage with the polite ones. Far too many people seem to think they are entitled to details of a medical condition.
I'm more likely to tell a kid, because that helps them learn about disability.
But rude nosey adults get joke answers. Attacked by shark, extreme BDSM accident, run over by bus full of nuns ect.
My grandfather had the best response to this ever, which he stumbled into purely by accident.
When he was a child, he was out near a railroad construction site and found a blasting cap which went off in his hand, blowing off several of his fingers and rendering him blind. As an older man, he started to get a little scatter-brained and forget words. So he was asked:
"How did you lose your sight"...
"My mother always told me 'Don't play with that thing' but I didn't listen to her and I went blind".
It made sense to him, but it was clearly misunderstood by the nurse he was telling, lol. He was a very proper and very shy man, old-school Catholic, and I didn't have the heart to tell him. Thank God he couldn't see the look on her face, he'd have been mortified, lol.
I am disabled and the last time I was in the hospital - PE/DVT issues - I have a certain rare condition (scrotal edema, google it but it ain't pretty!) I soon felt like the geek in an old-fashioned sideshow tent. A doctor would bring a group of young interns in to see me. I told them I was going to start charging admission to "see the show,"! 🤨
I like that idea: if adults ask you politely about it, answer honestly, because they're obviously curious and concerned. If they're being rude about it , then, yeah, screw them.
My mom, who was still out of it as a result of a c-section, once fell in the hallway of her parents house when she went to feed me when I was a baby. She said that I screamed because I heard her scream in shock and my grandparents ran to both of us. Grandma was holding me and grandpa was helping my mom up. They were outside enjoy the cool weather at the time. They. Were. Outside! Ops inlaws were idiots!!
Op in laws are malicious a holes...
They aren't idiots. They're apathetic at best, malicious at worst.
@@1Kapuchu100so idiots
I is very possible that the parents were hard of hearing. My grandfather struggles to here me when I'm right in front of him.
@@Kr1sKr1ngle so they heard the baby but not op ?? Nahhh I refuse to hear that excuse....
Story 3: What's her problem? Invading people's personal spaces, trying to pry into other people's lives, and then getting upset when the energy was returned.
Like, is she trying to bully disabled people?
Exactly! What was her reasoning? She doesn’t know OP nor would she likely ever see her again! She also was told repeatedly to back off by OP. Crazy woman’s friends are just as trashy expecting OP to put herself in a very vulnerable state for an ungrateful stranger. OPs friends need a reality check because we all know they wouldn’t oblige if a stranger approached them and asked inappropriate questions.
Karen should be polite and just answer the op's questions~
@10:05. The worst part for me is OPs friends seem to think she owes a stranger an explanation. Reminds me of the karens you see demand answers from people with cameras in first amendment audit videos
As a disabled person, I can tell you with all confidence that you would not believe how many people think that they have a right to our medical information just because they’re curious. Sorry, I’m not here to satisfy the Abled’s curiosity!
I am not a sideshow freak here to entertain you! (for the right price…maybe lol)
She probably feels like all disabled people are faking it
Story 1: OP mentions a few things in the comments that paints a very good picture what is going on here. 1)She's read the JustnoMIL subreddit and its stirred up memories of these people. 2)SIL is FIRMLY on OP's side because guess what they treat her the exact same way. These people don't give a flying rats petard about the Mothers of their grandchildren, they ONLY care about the babies.
The rage in RSlash's voice in the story with the mom who gave the brother $2,000 so refreshing
Just with how many stories where the solution is simply 'if it's not a big deal then YOU pay it' just gets tiring to hear, since it's gotten to the point where it happens over and over and over and over again
Story 1: It’s funny actually, Op has an out for whatever the in laws say.
1) They actually DIDNT hear her yelling for help, in which case they aren’t safe to be around for situations like this.
2) They DID hear (which is what happened) in which case they don’t care about Op’s safety.
Either way Op has ALLL the proof she needs to keep them away from her.
NTA Op, while i’m glad husband is standing by you, he needs to be more on your side imo.
Good luck.
OP had posted comments and an update that clarified there was NO WAY they didn't hear her for various reasons so it was 100% #2
Perfect explanation for their actions option one you’re incompetent or option two you deliberately ignored an injured person on purpose which makes you bad people
I am glad the boyfriend/husband is on her side. I can understand his hesitancy though because you would not want to think your parents are really like that. That would be a really hard situation to be in if you don't have a****** parents normally. Lol I'd believe it if somebody told me my mother acted that way. But if you told me my dad acted that way I would have such a hard time believing that in my mind that he could even be that way, though I would still be on your side because you're my spouse.
OP's in-laws really set themselves up for failure there. damned either way lol
Sorry, I don't understand the logic for point 1. How is OP better off by herself then she is with them around to do the things they can still do that don't revolve around hearing? Would she have been better off if she fell down the stairs with nobody else home and no one was watching the baby for 10 minutes then she was when she fell down the stairs and had people watching the baby but who didn't hear her to go help?
Last story: 100% the therapist tried to take advantage of their patient, that was seriously messed up. Major breach of trust, might even require reporting. Imagine she was doing this to other, more vulnerable/more suggestable patients.
Completely agree with you. Maybe it’s different with therapists, but I know a doctor’s office cannot accept insurance and then ask for additional funds (legitimate copays are different). You either accept the insurance or accept private pay. You can’t double dip. The doctor would lose their license if they did that. Plus, it’s the therapist’s own issue that the insurance doesn’t pay well. She should have taken it up with them or just not accept that insurance. Insurance companies enter into a contract with providers and have a contracted rate. You never get the exact rate, but something close if the provider is properly billing. The fact the therapist is putting that onto the patient-- she should lose her license. Like you said, she is probably doing this to others.
@@user-ek8se3hl9g A therapist is still a doctor, only they treat mental issues rather than physical issues.
@@JamesDavy2009 Definitely no slight on therapists. To be fair, not all therapists are medical doctors or have PHDs. A lot are LCSWs, LMFT, or LPC (just to name a few), which is also great. I was talking in regards to how it is for a MD, NP, PA or PMHNP provider entering into contract with insurance providers, since that is what my experience has been as a previous behavioral health and then a primary care practice manager. Since I don’t have experience w/ other types of providers (I can’t remember if the story mentioned the therapists credentials…), I can only guess it would be something similar
Story one: Not only do I not believe that they didn't hear her, but there are 2 of them! One of the inlaws could have helped OP, and one could have comforted the baby!
They're in their 60s. They could have hearing loss. I don't know. Maybe I'm naive.
Their in the 60s
@@sparkyshore3543I was thinking this as well. What is the in laws had slight hearing loss and were just in closer proximity to the baby than to op. Also what if the babies cries were loud enough to silence ops pleas for help. Honestly idk but if that was the case 0/5 buttholes for them
They can't hear her crying out for help but they could hear the baby crying
@EliEli-eq4zb OK? They seemed to be able to rush to the baby quickly enough so why couldn't they go help OP? They may not have been able to help her get up, but at the very least one of them could have gone to make sure she was OK.
How on earth does anyone think it’s okay to ask a stranger about their love life. Why on earth shouldn’t you be personal in return? I can’t believe anyone agree with that woman.
If the person they’re asking is uncomfortable, they’re a prude /s
for some reason i just thought of the room. "I did not hit her, I did not! Oh hi Mark, how's your sex life?"
People like this are nosy and don't view disabled people as people, so they feel entitled to know what's wrong with a disabled person. That, or they think anyone who is young and disabled is lying and want then to prove it, because only the elderly are disabled in their eyes.
@@johngowanjr5303 okay that killed me 🤣
Who just randomly walks up to a person and asks that? wth?
Story 2: Dude you can't cross a burned bridge. It's burnt down, there's no bridge. What is it with people like this? Be it parents, former friends, children, stepchildren. They think they can put the bridge or village to the torch, and somehow it'll still be there when they need something. It's no different than parents being shocked their scapegoat doesn't want to take care of them in their old age.
Story 3: I'm with OP, you can be the bigger person if you want in these situations, kudos if you do...but you're not obligated to be.
Story 4: OP said yes to helping the parents, not a deadbeat they wanna coddle. If they wanna shield their pwecious baby from reality, they can fork it up themselves
With the second story, I am a little on the fence about it since OP didn't mention how she tried to build up that relationship with her stepson. He already had to lose one mother who abandoned him and he was probably terrified that if he got too close to this new woman in his dad's life that she'd do the same thing. Sometimes I feel that people entering into a relationship where there's children force themselves too strongly on their stepchildren and expect them to have a tight relationship.
That said, I feel that if the stepson came to the realisation that this woman was his mother and that she loved him as her child that there are a lot better ways to rebuild that relationship than outright demanding his stepmother (who he rejected) to do the same thing that she's doing with his siblings for him. In this case, I don't believe that any bridges were burned. It seems to me that they were never built in the first place and that's okay because that means that both parties can build them up together.
@@TiffWaffles but there were bridges that were burned. the stepson burned his bridges with his siblings and he burned the bridge that OP was trying to build. did you not pay attention to the story?
Story 3: people are too comfortable treating visibly disabled people as almost less than human (if not entirely less than human). If the woman was like a small kid, I could understand asking and not realizing how personal that can be. But sounds like she was at least a teenager, probably older, and she should know better by now.
Indeed, a lot of folks treat disabled people like pets.
Wasn't too long ago people literally put them in circus attractions.
The even more disgusting thing is that this was one of the best ways for them to make money, and some even became wealthy that way 😧😧
And that lady doesn't mention having an autism diagnosis, so there's little to no possibility of her being socially unaware, especially since she reacted so viscerally to being asked similar questions. If you don't want the smoke, don't fan the flames. Smh.
@@threecheeseburrito Are you suggesting the weird lady who asked all those personal medical questions and then freaked out when she got her own...would openly tell the woman in the wheelchair "hey btw I have autism" if she had it?
Lmao, as if.
Teenagers don't get pap smears, so that was definitely a grown ass woman.
I hate bad therapists, that last store made me sad. I have a great therapist now but I’ve had bad ones in the past. I hope OP doesn’t give up on therapy completely
Completely agree. There are some absolutely awful, horrible therapists out there that have no business being therapists
I dont trust it at all honestly why would you pay someone to listen to you vent your problems my friends do that for free and frankly are more honest about it
@@akirarose3947so.. "just talking to someone" isn't therapy. Therapists have training in therapeutic techniques. Same way "someone rubbing your back" isn't a massage.
@@ACAB.forcutie i get the idea of it trust me but at the same time these are professionals and if stories like this are anything to go by if that is what a professional therapist is like then im sorry but no i would rather not waste my money on "the chance" of things getting better rather then me doing something that for even just for the short term makes me feel better
@@akirarose3947 well no, these stories are not good representation of what therapy actually is. They are a great representation of what it's like when therapy goes wrong. You don't stop driving after you see a video of a car accident, do you? If so, you may be in greater need of professional help than I realized. You understand that irrational fears are something therapy can help you with? Even irrational fears of therapy.
Story 1: Honestly the fact that the SIL agreed is the thing that clinched it for me. As if it wasn't glaringly obvious before.
And unfortunately her spouse refused to have her back. I know OPs bf is reluctant but he respects her wishes at least for the time being.
And how crass was BIL for telling OP to deal with it since his parents have money and will pay for everything for the baby? If that’s the case that needs to stop as well.
I absolutely loved rSlash's reaction to the parents who ask OP for money and give it to her no-good brother. If you're a decent person it will never stop baffling when all aunts, uncles and cousins creep out of the woodwork to admonish someone when they put an end to being exploited.
Imagine if you tripped over a log and someone rushed over to check if the log was ok.
Looks like the OP has done her job as a broodmare and now means nothing to the in-laws. They have their shiny new grand baby after all.
Because their reactions could be one of two things. Either they didn’t hear OP which if the case they shouldn’t be left alone with a baby. Second case, which I think is what happened, they heard OP screaming but didn’t care. If that’s the case they shouldn’t be left alone with OP nor the baby.
Also the other SIL! The other son is only looking at the monetary benefits "Honey, it's OK if you are invisible to them, as long as they keep paying for things for the baby & we don't have to"!!! OP might gain some respect by going this route but SIL will continue to be treated like nothing, because they've aloud it so far.😢
Also, for story 1: Even if they didn't hear OP, wouldn't they think it odd that the mother of a baby didn't come to comfort them from crying after 10 minutes? If I were in that situation, I'd go looking for the mother.
That’s what I thought! Even if you didn’t hear why not go check it out? It makes no sense to sit in the corridor with the baby for 10 minutes.
R Slash screaming "THEN YOU DO IT!" is literally my thought EVERY TIME I read one of those stories lol
That last story pissed me off. How dare the therapist use info from a session for personal gain. Should lose their license.
And it sounded like the therapist wasn’t doing much as far as helping out anyways did they just put on a suit and rented an office to play therapist?
Right? She was getting paid plenty I'm sure, but she still wanted 20 bucks, as soon as OP wasn't poor anymore. Who does that? It's immoral and unprofessional. And yes I'm sure against the rules of conduct. Maybe she has an addiction she's feeding because therapists are usually swamped with work.
The fact that a therapisf has the gall to try and ask for a tip shows how badly out of hand american tipping (culture) insanity has gotten...
Once used to validate not paying people post slavery,now used primarily to warrant not pating minimum wage, or to just guilttrip extra profit from people.
100% against the code of ethics. They absolutely should be reported and have their license investigated.
The aggressive lady story:
Op was simply following the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated.
Treating Karen like she wanted to be treated..
Or as I call it, "the Alternate Golden Rule"..... "Treat others as they have treated you!" 😂
That last story. She should have got at least 2.5 that therapist put him in an awkward situation. Knowing that a lot of people would just say yes, even though they didn’t want to. She’s in a position of power, and she try to use it for her financial gain against somebody that she’s already getting money for….. Now that I think even more about this. 4 out of 5 at least.
Yeah, some people can get emotionally dependent of therapists and feel forced to give more money, OP should report the therapist
@@alicenogueira5972 💯
Story 2 - You can't burn every relationship you have and expect them to come running when you need help.
And for free and without providing acknowledgment and remorse for previous wrongdoings.
And yet that's exactly what people like that expect. I mean they've always been given everything they ever wanted before, why wouldn't they expect it to continue?
Story 3: when did polite start to mean pushover, because last I checked polite doesn't mean giving random strangers private information just because they demand it. And when a stranger comes that you like that you don't politely decline you yell back and tell them to get the hell out of your face. Because most of the time when you try to be nice and polite they take out a sign that they can keep pushing. Also she came up to you asking about your love live so I truly don't believe she has the right to call you a pervert.
And this can be considered a HIPPA violation. Karen has NO need for that personal/medical info. 🤨
@lancerevell5979 hippa violation applies ro docaotrs or nurses accessing or giving away someone medical info without their consent. Someone asking about your medical history isnt a hippa violation
Story 4: Seriously, there seems to be a lot of "Well, then *YOU* do it, what's *YOUR* excuse?" situations, like if the aunt is so worried, then she can give the money since the money OP was giving was definitely not used well
It’s only fair since she’s the one who let the cat out of the bag. You can’t shake a soda can and run away from cleaning the mess. Auntie made this her circus not OP.
I f*cking know right? An irrelevant family member butting in to tell you how dare you withdraw the help and all that. As rSlash said, WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?! If you are this concerned about them, then YOU can pay them! The reason the aunt said this is because she's not the one paying, so she can say whatever the hell she wants.
What’re y’all on about? Op’s aunt let them know about the brother’s 2K. Without that, who knows how many other gifts he would’ve gotten? If anything, the aunt should be thanked for accidentally letting OP know.
Would it be good if the aunt helped? Yeah, but not everyone has the resources to. If they’re the same age, maybe she’s also on a fixed income or has other expenses. Just because you can’t afford to do the right thing doesn’t mean you can’t want for others to do it as well.
Or would you tell someone participating in a blood drive that they should just give all the needed blood themselves? 1) you need way more blood than 1 person can safely give, and 2) you don’t even know what their blood type is or if they’re even eligible to donate in the first place! It’s still good they’re asking for donations.
@@rafaeltrigo942The problem is less that she’s helping and more saying that OP should keep helping
@@rafaeltrigo942 Are you serious? That Aunt is despicable. She has NO right tto demand the OP keep buying her parents' food ,when the money will only likely go to her deadbeat brother in one way or another. As was said, if she's so concerned, why doesn't she help out? Why is the responsibility on OP?
And if, as you suggest, the Aunt can't afford it, that doesn't mean she has any right to demand it of others. She's a hypocrite.
Story one: I believe there was an update in the comments. OP made it clear that the stairs are really close to the living room where the baby was. She was calling her inlaws, screaming, for 10 MINUTES. She told her husband it was impossible for them not to have heard them and I don't remember what happened next.
Story 4: If OP wants to continue helping her parents, she can buy the basics plus a couple other things and take it to her parents. Or she could let them shop and she meet the parents at the checkout to buy their food. I hope she's done handing the money over
Story 2: I hate people who are adopted or have stepparents and think they are not their parent but when it comes to them having kids, they magically assume they would step up as “grandparents”
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You chose to exclude them from your life, they don’t owe you anything because you don’t know how to parent the kid of a person you knocked up.
In laws: can hear a baby lightly fussing
Also in laws: somehow can’t hear someone fall down the stairs, screaming for help
honestly that therapist story is one if the reasons I keep delaying finding a new one after my old one moved, worry of just getting a bad person
It is still best to try than to leave it be.
Please try. Low key beg of you to try. You deserve the support of a professional. The fear of getting someone who’s not gonna be good for you is valid. But there are so many people who joie that profession to help. And like this op did. You can fire a bad therapist. You can tell them when they cross a line. And you can report them. Your worth the effort of shopping around for a professional that can help you.
Reminder that there are way more good therapists than bad ones. Don't let the possibility stop you from getting help. And you can always change therapists if you don't like one.
Story 1: “I stubbed my toe, but I did not cry like a baby. A baby does not have the lung capacity for what I did” Funny quote I think is from tumblr but the point is I guarantee I could yell legible words louder than a scared baby crying. And if the baby heard the noise of someone tumbling down stairs, again, I’m pretty sure an adult is able to yell louder than the thudding of their arms hits the steps.
Then the MIL asks “What happened to you” meaning THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HEARD HER BUT JUST SAT THERE
MIL asked her what happened after OP hobbled into the room. People generally don't hobble unless something is wrong them. Ergo she didn't need to hear anything to have a reason to ask that question and you need to work on your gotchas.
@@mizu7662 how on earth did the grandparents not hear a woman fall down the stairs and yell for help but do hear a fussy baby? Genuinely, have you ever heard a person yell in a building? I don’t know about you, but every house I’ve ever been in had walls thin enough to hear yelling from any room. Also since she fell down the stairs and didn’t mention climbing back up, that means they’re on the same floor. Typically open spaces like a living room and dining room do not have doors between them to muffle the noise, actually the stair case is typically right between the living room and kitchen. Realistically, how far away could the mom have been from the grandparents that would soundproof the house enough to not hear someone yelling for help but do hear a fussing baby.
Make it make sense
Story 3: Throw away those friends. Seems the whole world around thinks theyre entitled to your medical info, and I can't think of a more rude subject to interrogate a stranger over. This stranger needed consequences for her actions.
i really love Dabney's advice for family who call someone out for not helping friends or family also that "THEN WHY DON'T YOOOUU DO IT!" it peaked my head phone volume. that phrase is so prevalent on this channel it should be a meme
Last story: Im really sad that it sounds like OP is giving up on therapy entirely because of one bad therapist, that woman needs to have her licence revoked
TW: Seizure/blood
Story 1: I have a 5 month old and personally, I don't like my baby crying out for a long period of time. I(21) had an epileptic seizure in late September and two people were home, my fiancé(21) and little(18) brother. I hit the stove handle or floor hard enough, yelped out, and was bleeding from my eyebrow because I hit myself hard. My brother and fiancé came to my rescue IMMEDIATELY. My fiancé or brother called my mom, she came home immediately and took care of my son(3 months at the time) while my fiancé and I were at the hospital. Due to the emergency, my baby was put last. When I woke up my brother was with me, my fiancé getting everything, and my mom holding our son. The point of this story is even with a yelling/crying baby the injured party is still first. The baby will be fine 100%. There was more than one adult and things were able to be done all at the same time. OP could've been helped and the baby could've been taken care.
Edit to add: I'm fine btw. Just had to drop my fall college classes for the time being. Haven't had a seizure in about 6 weeks🥺❤️🫶🏻5 more months to go to get my permit.
Good luck on the next few months.
Last story deserves higher score. She's a professional then tried taking advantage of OP. Hell she needs to be reported
The APA should hear about this. She's a disgrace to a profession that starts with a trident!
The first story scares the crap out of me. I'm aware that MAYBE, and that's a huge effing MAYBE, the inlaws are hard of hearing... But even then. They heard the baby cry... I'm legitimately struggling to figure out how they "didn't hear" the OP's fall. They've got to have ignored them on purpose.
And, gosh, I sure have hated some people before, despised them even. But even so, I just CANNOT imagine not investigating upon hearing a commotion as big as somebody suffering a fall. Which might sound like a dramatic way to phrase it, but remember that the OP described struggling to get back up and walk over to the MIL. I think they're lucky they could at all, it would have been super duper easy for the fall to result in such bad injury that they couldn't get back up at all. To outright ignore somebody in such a predicament calling out for help is colder than the ice age. To have to be around somebody like that is SCARY. Who knows what else the inlaws are capable of?
I agree. I also haven't seen anyone else mention this, but my first thought if I was the grandparents, and I find the baby crying all alone, I would immediately look for where mom is, and wonder why she isn't immediately checking on the baby.
100% What if op broke her neck or injured her spine? How long would she be left on the ground for. 10 minutes is way too long. They definitely heard her. They are seriously monsters. Shouldnt be near any babies, and lets go with their lie and say they truly didnt hear her? Again, shouldn't be around the baby anyway since now because of your hard of hearing if someones hurt you can't help them. So even by that logic they still can't be trusted. But hearing the update they for sure heard her. So disturbing..
Story 3: You can't ask someone a bunch of inappropriate questions then be upset when they start to ask you a bunch of inappropriate questions. If you're gonna ask me a bunch of disgusting questions then I'm allowed to do the same.
I've fallen twice in the parking lot in front of my apartment and each time someone walked right beside me and ignored me, wouldn't help me up. The first time it took me over ten minutes to get up and I was in absolutely terrible pain. I've wrecked my knee over it.
To the lady at the fair.....You did good!
Some whiny, self entitled c- word comes up to you and DEMANDS your medical info is rude at best, deranged at worst.
What is wrong with people?
Ill love it when Rslash goes on his end of story rants❤
"What is wrong with people?" Unfortunately, many folks treat/think of the disabled like pets, circus performers, or zoo exhibits. They exist only to satisfy their own curiosity and amusement.
Story 1: Even in the extremely unlikely event that the ILs were just so laserfocused on "baby is distressed" that they didn't hear OP, at the 30sec mark of soothing the baby they should have noticed "that's weird, OP hasn't rushed in yet to look after her baby" and one of them should have gone look for her.
But they didn't and yes, it's definitely more likely that they malicously ignored her, maybe not in the "let's hope OP dies" way and more them just not caring about her at all. The fact that the SIL agreed with cutting them off also makes me think they did something similar to her as well.
Dabney repeatedly screaming, "YOU DO IT" just made my morning.
Story 3 (the wheelchair user’s story): it’s unfortunate that this kind of thing happens all the time. I’ve had people come up to me in a bar and, without saying two words to me, start asking how I have sex. I’ve had people demand to know what my diagnosis is. I’ve had people injure me because they were trying to force “help” on me. I’ve had people put literal trash under my wheelchair while I was strapped in on a bus and couldn’t move away.
Ableism at it’s finest.
That's unfortunately a cold fact of nature-we as animals subconsciously try to keep the disabled out of the gene pool.
For story 1 and the Tiktok: not that it excuses it, but a baby's cry actually has a trigger on our brains. The reaction for every person is different, but almost everyone experiences an intense reaction. In most people it will trigger anxiety and maybe fear or anger, and it will actually cause your brain to hyper focus on it and tune out other stimuli. That said... That sort of phenomenon doesn't last too long until you "snap back." So, if OP was crying in the ground for 10 minutes, the grandparents surely would have snapped out of it enough to hear her at some point.
That first story reminds me of a few months ago. I walk downstairs and dad randomly asks "Hey are you okay? We heard all this banging and groaning coming from upstairs".
...Thanks for coming to check up on me... what if I was unconscious because I fell in the bathtub? Did you suddenly break both of your legs and can't walk up the stairs? If you hear banging and groaning, maybe, oh I dunno... check up on it? If I was hearing banging and groaning from downstairs, I'd be down there to make sure it's the TV!
What happened? Did you fall and hurt yourself?
@@SonjaUnapologetic No, I think it might have been the pipes.
3:20 lawyer Rslash nearly just became my new favorite Rslash voice. Nothing tops Rslash old lady though, that's just the GOAT
Story 1: NTA. Honestly, I would've done the same thing as OP the moment when the MIL said "what happened to you?". Like lady, OP just fell down the damn stairs, and you both decide to ignore her completely and tend to the baby. I mean, c'mon! Priorities here man, OP could've broken her arm or leg! If my in-laws were this selfish, I wouldn't want their help either. "Feel awful for not seeing the both of you"? Not feel awful for ignoring a potentially mortally wounded OP? These people's priorities are messed up.
Story 4: “We don’t answer to you.” BRUH!!! You’re grifting off of my dime! You’re DAMN RIGHT you answer to me!
The last story: Firing the therapist isn't enough. She needs to be reported.
Damn I think we found out something new about RSlash.
Deepest fear: Getting injured in the kitchen and being ignored
Getting hurt in the kitchen and his wife gives their toddler 2000 dollars instead of helping him
While the therapist asks for tips.
Story 1: so your BF doesn't care that you were in pain at the bottom of the steps for 10 minutes being ignored, he'll only agree with you because you're the mom? You sure this is the man you want to be with because his lack of concern for you is very not okay. And tell BIL, he can take his privilege bull crap and shove it where the sun don't shine, because he seems to believe since his family has more money they can do whatever they want with no consequence and he can go f himself. There is no possible way they did not hear you scream out to them, especially when they heard the baby just fine.
Right? He wasn't concerned that his parents OBVIOUSLY ignored OP? What if she had been more seriously injured?
Their in their 60s the most likely have hearing loss.
@@EliEli-eq4zbyet they heard the baby. Both grandparents were in the living room where the staircase was. They could definitely hear op.
@@kaykay8855 No where does op stay were the grandparents started if the were already in the living room of course they would here a crying baby. She doesn't say where the stairs are, all she says is she wobbled over. Why would they ignore her on purpose they apparently help her out all the time? You don't have enough info yet your assuming malice.
Well husband and not BF because bf is boyfriend
I cant decide which I enjoyed more: the debut of Detective Rslash, Rslash ranting about his formative tik toks, or the delightfully familiar "THEN YOU DO IT! THEN YOU DO IT!!!!"
Story 3: telling that person to stop politely wouldn’t have done anything. That kind of person only stops when they’re dragged away, so OP actually made the best decision by standing up for themself and causing the Karen to make a scene big enough to warrant her removal.
13:05 to 13:56, bro, I was cackling so hard. I've been watching Dabney since his first year as rslash, I've never heard him get so exasperatedly emotional. God, that was good. I've heard the "then you do it" line so many times, but the delivery this time was *chef's kiss.* Followed up by "Sympathizing with these people," *chef's kiss* *chef's kiss.* Perfection. Beautiful. Hilarity. My face hurts from smiling.
Story 3: that’s a moment for what I call non-rhetorical rhetorical questions. Ask the questions you normally don’t expect answers to and get them. In this case, “who are you and why do you think your entitled to my medical history? No, I’m serious. I want your thought process.” And force them to give an answer or slink away in shame.
Your 'brain tiktok' regarding the husband who fell through the roof reminds me of a story of my parents. My dad was mowing the lawn and my mom took my baby self for a stroll. We were really isolated at the time, blocks of roads were made but it was all fields still, no other homes. Well, I somehow toppled over headfirst onto the pavement from my stroller.
My mom began screaming. Absolutely hysterical screaming. My dad heard her over the lawnmower and dashed off of it still running. He ran a block to *pick me up off the ground to check if I was okay*
Needless to say, they are divorced.
Well in the heat of the moment i dont blame him. It is natural to check on the small child who most likely cracked his head on the floor than go to the mom and see if they are ok while you are dying from blood loss.
Sounds like a lot more went on than you think.
@@knsc2 I think you missed the point of this comment. Why would anyone expect him to check on the mom with the injured baby right in view? The point here is that the mom did nothing to help the baby who just fell on the ground. All she did was scream. The dad had to abandon a lawnmower and run to address the injury himself, as the mom did nothing, which is why he divorced her.
@@JRKonungrinn well you made it sound like it was the guy’s fault
@@knsc2 ...My mom was the one pushing the stroller. She stood there over me for 3 minutes screaming in panic while my dad ran a block to even *check* on me. Do you understand the problem here? Obviously *someone* should pick up the child and make sure they're okay. I don't think you're visualizing "what went on" at all, mate. You're the only one coming in here and immediately thinking the dad is at fault for being a great dad...?
@@RWAsur but i just said otherwise?? You know what? This is becoming an argument.
Story 1 : NTA.. Debra and Bob wanted op no longer around that's why they didn't help.. They got partly what they wanted not the whole way which is why they were surprised and asked " what happened to you".. op got lucky she survived...The bastard in law " they paid for everything for the baby" so what dork who cares what they paid for if the baby doesn't have his mom ...
Story 2 : NTA.. nick is a selfish Dbag.. " your not my mother lady but care for the kids who is only your grandkids today since I need to use you".. stop with the low contact and go no contact..
Story 3 : NTA..There's a saying " don't start stuff you can't finish " well that POS started stuff op just finished it.." you could've been nicer" ohhh sure op friends op could've just ignored her bit it's more fun to bury jerks like that karen .. Those friends are always " nice" on someone else's health issues..
Story 4 : NTA.. op is it really weird that your bro attended the wedding since your scummy parents pretty much are giving him the $ that you give them..if the aunt is so outraged then she can help the dirtbag parents since they wanted to give everyone's money to the dirtbag brother..
Story 5 : NTA.. that therapist is such a con artist..go make money somewhere else lady not on op time..op should've told her " heres a tip lady find new people to work your con on since you failed with me"..
Yeah, they probably paid for 'everything' so they can exert control over OP and her BF.
@@fdm2155or they just don't like op and just " if we ignore her she won't be Alive anymore"...
@@thetruth1816 Yeah, those in laws seem dangerous
As someone whose best friend was in an electric chair until his passing- the op is NOT the butthole. Im proud of that OP for standing up for themselves.
Took me a moment to realize you meant a motorized wheelchair.
@lostshadows768 haha yeah, my bad lol. The above reference is what he called it. It was his "electric chair". He had a great sense of humor. We laughed a lot. I miss that man so much.
I love the honest responses and you snapping your cookies at the family/money story. It made me laugh
Regarding person demanding medical details: There are so many nuances to this event. The most important of which is how it made you feel. Her INTENT should also be considered. Maybe she was just trying to engage and show interest in you but she was simply tactless and clueless, not malicious. Regardless, I’ve learned a great technique to shut people down in these sorts of intrusive conversations. When someone won’t drop their intrusive questions after I try to change a subject of redirect the conversation politely, I just stop speaking entirely for a moment while I turn to them, look them directly in the eyes as I stay quiet for another few seconds and give them the “I’m thinking about it” look. This usually has the effect of drawing attention from anyone nearby and quieting the room with anticipation of the answer. Then, in a normal level voice, which seems louder because of the quiet, I ask “why do you want to know?”. This has the effect of putting the spotlight on the other person who now has to explain themselves to everyone around why they feel entitled to information that you clearly don’t want to share.
That person is likely to never speak with you again. They’ll speak about you but everyone will know that they’re just angry and throwing mud at you in an attempt to regain face but it will forever backfire with anyone aware of the situation.
Therapist story deserves a WAY higher AH score, what she did was ILLEGAL and entirely unethical for someone in her field. Beyond cancelling any further appointments op should have reported her
I think the bit of rSlash yelling “THEN YOU DO IT” needs to be clipped and shared everytime there’s a toxic family post on Reddit where a meddling family member wants to boss people around but doesn’t want to do anything on their own.
Story5: I would recommend finding a new therapist if you need one. Don't judge them all by that one person - however, _that one_ I would recommend reporting to her ethical board for malpracice. It is possible she accepted a reduced rate to accommodate insurance and not put you out of pocket, but that should have been communicated up front.
Everytime Rslash howls "THEN YYYYOU DO IT! THEN YOOUUUU DO IT!!" It makes me laugh so hard. I bet Lily adores when her Daddy tells her stories, because the way he can say even simple phrases like that with so much emotion and get so into what he talks about would make me giggle for minutes and clap my hands if I was a toddler.
I love when Rslash goes on a “you do it” rant
every "THEN YOU DO IT!" progressively gets more and more intense and I am all for it
The story about the woman asking inappropriate questions to a handicapped lady - your response was good, no matter what others say. However, I learned a technique to shut these people down that I think you might like as well. When someone asks you something that’s none of their business or that you don’t want to answer, respond with “why do you want to know my personal information?” That shuts them down and leaves them on the spot.
People frequently treat people with disabilities as non humans, and ask super invasive questions they would never ask a typically able bodied person. When I started dating my disabled husband people frequently asked intimate questions about our relationship.
I worry for Rslash’s sanity sometimes. 😂
The last story: OP needs to report that therapist yesterday. I just have a BA in psychology, but I've worked in hospitals and w MRDD clients. But even I know that what that therapist did is SUPER unethical.
Some therapists do work on a sliding scale and charge more for wealthier clients so they can service low income clients. But those are therapists who don't take insurance- PERIOD. If insurance is paying than they get what the insurance company agrees to pay. There is no way in Hell you could go ask for more from a client you know has money- it's insurance fraud.
Not to mention it obviously came up right after OP told the therapist something in a session. Therapy in a 'What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas' situation. Unless a client threatens to hurt themselves or others you do NOT bring up stuff outside the session. It's taking advantage of the client ontop of insurance fraud.
Not to mention that therapist SUCKS. Not all therapists are good at their job, and even if they are it doesn't mean they will jive with every client. This therapist was sooooo STUPID too- they text OP EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE FRAUD... IN WRITING!!!!
OP needs to dump this therapist. I'd recommend trying another but I wouldn't blame her if she didn't. This is why people don't do therapy- sh^tty shiester therapists.
Dang, I don't have the relationship I've always wanted with my mother-in-law, but I know unquestionably that she would come running if I fell down the stairs! Even if there were unpleasant comments after it turned out I was okay (I don't think she would, just worse case scenario) I absolutely know she'd thoroughly make sure I was okay and get me to the hospital if that's what was needed.
i am disabled! I've explained thousands of times my experience with diagnostics, symptoms, how it affects different parts of my life, prejudice and consequential conditions of my syndrome
to respectful people
if someone ask with politeness and genuine curiosity i don't mind at all because it makes me feel like I'm destigmatizing the condition for someone and it's a productive interaction
if you ask in a mocking way or with the intention to bullying me, nah, I'm giving you that back
First story: either they both need hearing aids or they're mean people who don't care about OP.
Story 1: I’m actually really concerned for this lady as my uncle became a quadriplegic from falling down the stairs and the only other person in the house was his grandson who he was baby sitting.
Story 3: I’m also disabled and a wheelchair user and it’s wild the questions complete strangers will ask you. I’ve gotten to the point that I tell people it’s incredibly rude to ask these questions. Absolutely NTA.
To be fair to your reaction to Story 1 it makes sense to get the toddler away from what could be some potentially sharp and dangerous debris so that you don't have 2 injured people. But after getting them away and making sure they don't/can't come back over (which should take no more than 30 seconds) then she should have come right back.
I'm so sick of people always saying that someone is an AH for returning the energy. Be the bigger person doesn't work
Right? I always hated that "be biger person" BS.
You insult me or my family, you get hell.
I feel like when it comes to strangers, if you’re not at work n minding your own business, return that energy.
Being the bigger person can work if you see them often, others see you do it so they know the other person is wrong, and when you can see the results.
If I ain’t seein you again, how you gonna know you wrong if I don’t return your energy and send you away in a tizzy?
I personally think there are times when it is perfectly fine to be an a-hole. Returning someone else's a-hole energy is one of those times.
You know what sucks about being invisibly disabled? You're treated like you're faking and you can get physically attacked over taking your legally allowed public accomodations and won't believe you when you have proof you're entitled to them.
Story 1: does anyone else notice that OP's SIL, the other mother of the in laws grandchild, immediately agreed with her? I wonder if they did the same to her, just ignoring her completely to look at the baby.
i’m sorry i started laughing so hard hearing rslash’s “THEN YOOUUUUU DO IT” so aggressively, ive never heard him that fed up before
Story 1: nta if they're not willing to help you when you fall down the stairs instead choosing to be selfish and cuddle the baby what's going to happen if you have a heart attack or stroke? are they just going to ignore you and keep on playing with the baby because they "didn't hear you" pure neglect.
im all for rslash LOOSING HIS MIND and shouting at people in these videos. more of this pls
I wonder how many vulnerable patients she is taking advantage of like that. It feels really gross to use your position as a therapist to weasel more money out of your patients. That kind of behavior should be reported to hopefully protect others in the future.
“YOU DO IT!!”
*clipping the mic*
“YOU DO IT”
*house vibrating*
“YOU DO IT”
*baby crying*
“YOUU DO ITT!!”
Story 2 NTA. Though personally I’d probably still watch the kids. Given their dad’s behavior, they likely haven’t spent much time with your side of the family and I’d want them to feel included in spite of their dad. And also long term, building a good relationship with his daughters could lead to some revenge moments down the road
First story: OP is NTA. She was lying on the ground in pain, and her ILs response was to ignore her pain while she was on the ground and focus on the baby.. What if she was severely injured? She could have been lying there for an hour or more. They heard her. If the baby heard her, they definitely did. There was no excuse for one of them for not checking on her.
Second story: OP is NTA. Her stepson spent years treating her like she wasn't family, and now he suddenly wants her to act like she's family? I wouldn't have wanted to help him either.
Third story: OP is NTA. This Karen set the boundaries of the conversation by asking all these weird questions, so she can't complain if OP asked her the same.
Fourth story: OP is NTA. If she doesn't want to support her irresponsible brother, that's her right. If she wants to know that her parents aren't using her to funnel her money to her brother, that's also her right. It's her money, so it's her right to refuse.
Final story: OP is NTA. This therapist sounds unprofessional. I know there are issues with insurance companies not paying therapists enough, but this person was still getting paid what they agreed to take from the insurance in the first place.
13:15 I wonder what Rslash’s wife thinks when she hears him yelling in the basement 😂
He has a soundproof booth. He brought it up before in a Choosing Beggars segment. Also why there isn’t a puppy bloopers segment anymore.
Angry man yells at Cloud
Story 2: Bro, SHE could have been polite and just answered the questions. But, she's clearly one of those people who think of disabled people aren't actually humans, but circus attractions. Imagine you go to a Zoo and the Llamas ask about your sex life.
EDIT: NTA. As someone who dated a woman in a wheelchair for a while, this makes me particularly mad.
BRAVO! The lady in story 3 was brilliant! Perfect case of if you can dish it out, you better be able to take it.
S1: Even if you were to entertain the concept of them not hearing her fall down the stairs and call for help for 10 minutes, they still would have no business trying to 'help' with the baby for safety reasons. If they can't hear a whole adult fall down the stairs, how can you reason them being able to look after an infant lmao? Nta and any respect I would've had for them would've died that day.
Actuality Dabney, you take care of the easily treated ones first, then focus all your attention on the most traumatic injury you can safely treat. Rule 1 of triage is keep conscious people conscious.
You can't know who REALLY needs your help. That's why I carry dice around with me. "Hmm, I could help either person, but that guy owes me money - I'll give him a 4 in 6 chance." [shakes dice in hand] "Come on, Papa needs $20."
@Ironoclasty LOL 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 20 sided? I carry all of those
I suspect the "...in 6 chance" implied a d6. The real question is if they need to roll high or roll low to make that 4 in 6.
@@Brigand231 Actually, I was rolling a 4 or less on a d6 with advantage (thus 2d6). I don't do anything halfway.
@@IronoclastyDid you get your twenty bucks?
2:49 this is called argument from ignorance. you can't eliminate everything that is possible because you don't know all the possibilities
There is no damn way they didn't hear her! I was thinking the same as R/SLASH.. They heard it because the baby did who was with them! That is horrible and disgusting how they couldn't care less about her at all.. The husband is horrible too in my opinion for not seeing that this could have been worse of a fall and they left his wife lying there.
story 4. as someone who lives off 70 euros a week feeding myself and my cat (and recently dead bunny) i was able to live comfortably and healthy, how they can spend 2000 in a couple months is beyond me... concidering that they ARE able to pay their living expenses....
Damn, Rslash got fired up in this episode
You are my anger translator for these posts. Just as I’m about to lose my mind over some of these posts, you immediately say what I’m thinking.
Story 1: unfortunately, you're not going to receive people's love or respect just because you want it. Pick better people to have around you.
*First OP:* I'm surprised OP didn't tell off her MIL and FIL (and BIL, for that matter). OP fell down the danggone stairs, for goodness sake! OP is NTA.
*Second OP:* FAFO strikes again. OP is NTA.
*Third OP:* _see Second OP._ OP is NTA, but it sounds like she's surrounded by them. How did her _friends_ think she's TA?!
*Fourth OP:* Time to pull out the handy-dandy No Contact™. OP is NTA. The _entitlement_ of these people!
I think between this story and the first one, this is the most PO'd I've heard rSlash be. Rightfully so.
*Fifth OP:* Yeah, the therapist asking for tips after OP mentioned his (?) disposable income was sus. OP is NTA, but I do hope he finds a new therapist for his son soon.
