I am not sure about categorizing simple assault as abuse if it is not ongoing and there is no power relationship. He's a victim of assault, bit I don't think I'd say he's a victim of abuse. Also how the gently caress does a 25 year old man who should be in his prime get his rear end beat by a 55 year old? Like I can see a sucker punch catching you off guard but a broken nose, 2 black eyes, a a big cut says you didn't fight back at all given the ages involved.

I get that you assume a 55 year old has like a -6 to strength and dexterity but that's not actually how violence works in real life at all

If they can't manage to buy, beg, borrow or steal a cheap laptop after a year of home schooling, maybe the CPS would be entirely right in taking the kid away from them. If they're that poor and unable to seek help, there must be a lot of other things wrong as well.

Chances are, the parents would just prefer not to spend any money or effort on getting a laptop. Making the older sibling share worked well enough for a while and didn't cost them anything.

There was an E/N thread once where the OP was a hoarder (I wanna say "CPS took my kid away"), who was eventually talked into posting pictures of his home, and it was just piles of garbage everywhere except a small zone around the OP's gaming rig, which cost more than the trailer in which they lived.

I am still haunted by the description of the floor having "soft spots," where the wood had just surrendered to the years of neglect, mold, and whatever fluids, and would just sort of squelch down if stepped on.

I wonder what happened to that guy; it was an E/N success story at the time because he actually wound up admitting he was a hoarder and to seek therapy instead of suing the CPS.

He came back to SA after some time, saying that he'd gotten help for the mental problems that had caused him to let things slide so much to begin with, and he'd gotten his kids back.

He then proceeded to be an absolute shithead to other people posting in E/N who obviously had mental issues, showing not a single shred of empathy or introspection, so gently caress him forever.

I don't think this one got too much attention when it was posted here but it's one of my favorites because it's just so ridiculous:

quote:

My [29F] husband [31M] has become obsessed with taking over his dad�s company since watching Succession on HBO

My husband and I were late to the party when it came to Succession on HBO. We finally binge watched the entire first season and all the current season 2 episodes (great show by the way.)

As a side note, my FIL owns a Halloween party type store and it�s not even his main hustle but he�s always been really into Halloween. My husband has become increasingly obsessed with �unseating� his father from the Halloween store and I think this has to do with Succession.

He told me after we watched Season 1 that he was troubled that his father hasn�t named a successor for the Halloween store (I thought he was joking.)

A few days later he posed this question directly to his dad who said nonchalantly that his sister (27) would most likely take over because she lives nearby and doesn�t already work full time but he obviously thought the question was odd because he�s 56 and not really close to being �unfit� to run a Halloween seasonal store.

Then my husband started trying to find evidence that his dad was no longer fit to run the store. He told me he had a meeting with the store �shareholders� but later I found out he had just accosted two teenage boys who had checked into his store on FB and informed them that the store clearly needed new management. He also asked me if I would consider consulting for the store part time remotely as a way to �unravel things from the inside.�

The weirdest thing is that this store is a labor of love and probably makes very little money.

Around this time I realized he was just trying to act out Succession. I accused him of it and he said it�s crazy, it has nothing to do with the show and he just really feels the Halloween store is not safe without a named successor.

Then the sexual stuff got weird. I�m not a stranger to kinks, but he�s now asking me to blow him and spit his load into his mouth. Which is fine, but again this is from Succession. Now that we are watching Season 2 he�s developed a humiliation fetish and just wants me to call him a pathetic worm while he masturbates in the bathroom. He also denies this being related to Succession.

The final straw was when he actually suggested we move 200 miles to live closer to the Halloween store. I�m legitimately worried he could quit his job.

I�m highly concerned this little role play might revolve into drug use. I wouldn�t mind it if it was a joke but literally everything he says is a line from Succession. For example he now says �gently caress off� all the time and asked if a framed portrait in our house would be �too Saddam.� He then denies he�s doing Succession and tells me I�m micromanaging his language.

He is still plotting to take over the Halloween store and our sex life is already ruined so now I�m afraid our financial life is next. If he quits his job to �take over� the store we will be broke. This isn�t the first time he�s become weirdly obsessed with a TV show but in the past I�ve usually been able to ignore it. What do we do?

TLDR: my husband is making some bad choices in order to act out the HBO show Succession and he denies this.
