When she was growing up, I accepted it as part of her autism and thought she would outgrow this one day. However, she has not, and if anything, she has gotten much worse. I took her shoe shopping recently and she completely skipped past the women's section, going for the men's flip flops she wanted to look at for the summer.

She was incredibly manipulative and verbally/emotionally abusive. For a few reasons the courts awarded me full custody of our kid. She was allowed visitation, but basically said "I get full custody or nothing at all" and hasn't made any attempt to contact our son for three and a half years. Tbh, I prefer it this way; she's a very toxic person who has repeatedly demonstrated an unwillingness to change and she runs with some people I don't want my son around. If she comes back and demonstrates a willingness to put effort to be better for our son, she can see him but til then, I'm very on board with her staying away.

Special sizes are usually kept in the back, so you'll probably have to ask for them. When I worked at a department store it was pretty random which brands and styles came in special sizes, except for Hush Puppy (lots of shoes in Wide) and Nicole (lots of size 5 and sizes 11-14).

I was going to be a voice of dissent about the cat thing, because sometimes cat ownership can be straight up gross. But if it were an issue of litterbox smell or hair everywhere, she would've said that and not been a weird about a "carpet covered shelf". I mounted a little brush on the wall at cat height so my cat could scratch himself, she would probably think I'm ridiculous too.

For a second I thought she was coming to an understanding, because my brain took it as, she's the pet owner and she decides that it's ok for the cat to sleep wherever it wants, not the mom/OP. Then I realized that she meant she thought daughter could force the cat to sleep somewhere? Because lol. I've tried to create nice cozy spots for my cats but in the end it turns into, ok you want to sleep in some other spot? Let me give you a fuzzy blanket in that corner.

I dunno, the foodbowls and waterbowls everywhere sound like they're asking to be knocked over and trodden in and whatnot. But then again my cat has his blankie on his favourite spot on the sofa and his throw on the bed so he doesn't grunge up my nice quilt and mats/boxes so he can look out of the upper front and lower back windows so who am I to talk.

If people stop by to visit, it could influence their perception of her which can have an effect in the workplace if they are coworkers or supervisors. They might think she is a crazy cat lady and change how they treat her at work or as friends *gasp "what will the neighbors think?"

I was so happy when combat boots + pretty dress was briefly in fashion... I've never tried women's shoes but even many men's shoes are too narrow for me (yes I have duck feet basically) and I am lucky enough to actually be a man so I don't feel socially pressured into buying ~dainty~ shoes. I inherited my broad feet from my mum, who (looking it up) in US terms would be 5'3" with shoe size 11. When she was young ('60s, '70s) she had great difficulty actually finding shoes at all.

I like the idea that if her daughter does time-warp back to 1950s customs and has her supervisor over for dinner or something, she won't tidy up the cat stuff more in anticipation of having guests over to impress. I feel like so much of this 'my kid's place isn't spotless when I come over" is just subconscious hurt feelings that your kid didn't clean up for you when you came over.

They're not mad that she didn't tell them earlier. They'd be mad if she told them the very day it was changed. What they're really mad about is that she didn't tell them before getting it changed, so they never had a chance to browbeat her out of it, because that's what they did every other time she brought it up. Surprise, your child has autonomy as an individual outside of what you personally believe they should think or feel and is now a legal adult so you don't actually have any say over it!

I honestly can't get over being so entrenched in masculinity that you think a teenager trying to honor her late father is some sort of potshot at you for not having biological kids. She's clearly undermining and insulting your manhood and fatherhood! Why can't she just be happy that you're happy and be quiet about this whole thing! It's almost like... respecting your child's autonomy is part of being a father and violating that might cause her to prefer honoring her other dad instead of you
