***Excerpt from the first part of the article:*** ***This is the first post in a series.*** Whenever I (Frank W. Putnam) present research on the intergenerational transmission of risk for the maltreatment of offspring, I start by emphasizing that the majority of parents who were abused or neglected as children *do not* become abusive parents. Given the topics of my presentations and podcasts, it is likely that a substantial percentage of the audience will have a [childhood](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/child-development) maltreatment history or know someone close to them who does. Many parents who were abused as children worry that they may become abusers themselves. In g...

I work Chick fil A in Canada, been there for 4 months now, heres my take on the job. Pros: 1. Incredible management, (this is one of the most important imo) - our FOH director, training director, operator etc are often out helping in rushes. One time I brought a concern of harassment to management from a shift lead and after they listened and agreed wirh my concerns, never had an issue with them again, the SL is now amazing to me. They believe in you. AND give shout-outs and team member of the month awards, got one tonight. We do these cool little contests where the TM‘s with most items sold win a gift card! They also honor what positions you do best on and when you like breaks. Told man...

Sorry for the long post. Also, english isn’t my first language. I \[26F\] have been with my boyfriend \[26M\] for about 5 years. I’ve never had a very good relationship with his family. There isn’t open conflict all the time, but I’ve never felt fully welcomed or emotionally safe with them. My boyfriend also has issues with their lack of boundaries and says he often has to walk on eggshells around them. The main issue right now is his sister \[23F\]. My boyfriend and his sister have lived with their aunt since around 2016 because of a strained relationship with their divorced parents. When I first met his family, it was obvious their dynamic was very different from mine. My family ...

I feel like as homeschoolers we actually all deal with pretty similar problems. The biggest problem with that though is that none of us even know what that problem is and all of the systems made to help people don't seem to understand us at all. Heck, they love to throw a good old "I experienced solitary confinement" book into school curriculums, without understanding what its like for someone to have a lifetime of solitary confinement thats normalized, because that's a whole different thing. We didn't have the culture of a cult, or common belief system. It's your own little orbit of isolation. Put abuse on top of that, and the trauma is almost unmatched. I trul...

Hi THT fam. This isn’t a super dramatic story, but I could really use some outside perspective. I (23F) am engaged to my fiancé (24M), and we’ve been together for 8 years. His mom has caused a lot of issues throughout our relationship, and for reasons I won’t fully get into, my fiancé went no contact with her in late 2023. We still occasionally see her at family gatherings because we try to maintain relationships with his grandparents. When we first started dating, I was very close with his younger sister. I’d take her shopping, out to eat, and just spend time with her because I cared about her and honestly felt bad about some of the behavior happening in their home. As she g...

I live in a somewhat small town. The kind where your chances of seeing someone you know at most social events is pretty high. So when you date ONE man for almost a decade, this town KNOWS and they never forget. Anyways I drove around with a nail in one of my tires for a week because my ex didn’t answer me when I asked if I could still go to him for auto repairs. He’s a manager at hibdon tires, he gets a good discount so he’s handled my car needs since he got the job. So I finally drive to hibdon’s, not his location, the one I used before he started servicing my car. Almost immediately we have problems, he’s been servicing my car under his account to get points. Yes I get a discou...

Couldn’t wait for the game to drop. Glad there are a few features to make the game more enjoyable for those of us more interested in the story than a super challenging game. The artwork is beautiful and I can even deal with the handful of glitches/bugs. But I would love a feature that autoplays the Nemesis parts. I **** these parts enough because they are a bit too challenging for me. I’ve had to have someone else play 3 of those encounters. Now I’m in chapter 9 and I want to just give up. Can we get some concessions here? I wanna enjoy the ice and the story…despite Ariane getting 90% of the **** in this game!

I was constantly bouncing between ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude, Perplexity,Leonardo, and other AI tools. Each one lived in a separate tab, app, or bookmark. So I built All in One AI — a simple, clean app that lets you access all major AI tools in one tap. The app has also already crossed 5k downloads on play store and getting good reviews on it. No distractions, no clutter. Just your favourite AI assistants, all in one place. Why does this matter? Because most of us don’t use just one AI anymore. We’re comparing answers, testing prompts, switching contexts. So instead of getting locked into one, this app gives you freedom and speed with a UI that’s optimized for productivity. Inst...

Just saw a post on DINK arguments, but the post is closed. I have started living with a simple philosophy — LIVE and LET LIVE. Let us respect everyone’s opinions, including choosing not to have kids in the current socio-economic reality of the world. The only thing is: own your choices and the consequences that come with them. We cannot conveniently take what suits us best and then give morality lectures when consequences appear. Let’s understand something fundamentally — humans are also animals. Through millions of years of evolution, humans developed bigger brains that can think, store information, and organize better ways of living, which we now call civilization. Animals do n...

Spotify doesn't just make its experience for non-paid users, Difficult but insufferable guerrilla based tactics of how to make The most unusable platform ad-block users, face All kinds of sneaky tactics such as After it skips an ad it recognizes the users, has not watched the full ad And has three different methods to deal with. - If you Listen to this song when it's in this infancy for more than 10-seconds, it will become unplayable If you try to skip to the next song it will continuously skip whatever songs are next and If you pause it or Fast forward. I understand they don't want us to use ad blockers but when you make it as miserable as listening to two songs, and you get ...

My first Lexus. As an Audi guy for the last 5 years, I’ve been obsessing over a new Lexus and decided on an RX 350h. When I got to the dealer 75 mi away from me, I had my sight set on a new RX 350h Premium with an Iridium exterior and Palomino interior, but the night before I saw a RX 350h F Sport Design with an Incognito exterior and Black interior pop up on their site, so when I got there I asked about it. I was told it was a Regional Lexus Rep’s demo with 5k miles and they just turned it in 2 days ago. They had to get it transferred over from one of their sister stores for me to look at and I fell in love. As soon as I get back from the test drive plenty of customers pointed and stare...

Canadian here... Not sure what the situation is in other countries. I'm asking my fellow restaurateurs... Please speak up! Complain to your reps about these ridiculous fuel Surcharges. I've recently seen a massive increase... Maybe 50% now looking at roughly $30 per delivery from GFS and Sysco. This is thousands of dollars every year. These companies don't sell us wholesale products. We pay more for our products because they are delivered... I can go to the store and buy them cheaper. We pay more because it's a service... What is included in that service? Delivery! And generally stated as free delivery of orders are above a certain amounts! NO DELIVERY CHARGE ABOVE $XXX...

My ex was a severe alcoholic, there was a lot of troubling parts of the relationship. It was often toxic, and the pandemic didn’t help. He would drive home from work during his lunch to drink then go back. I basically lived with him. When we were going on dates he was sober, so I gave him a shot. He ended up relapsing and I was not a positive influence because I a lot of the time would drink with him and keep up because if he’s drunk I might as well drink to be on his level, not be annoyed with the drunkness, or just to deal with how drunk he was. I did eventually scale back when I saw how unhealthy for me it was. There were some really bad times, abusive incidents, he was very jealous...

So this is a lot and I’m just trying to get someone outside perspectives, maybe vent a little. But my girlfriend ‘26F’ and I (28m) have been dating for about 5 months now. We met on bumble in April of 25 because she started dating another guy, but informed me that she would be doing so and kept it very respectful. Fast forward a year later I run into her at an event and we hit it off so well things are so easy communication flawless. We ended up sleeping together after about a week of hanging out and it was amazing, so amazing we got pregnant on the first try lol. But that’s also where the problems begin. Now I want to preface this but I love this girl. But she use to be a stripper b...

​ The sun was bright. Too bright that it beat down on a small, quiet clearing at the edge of the dark forest, illuminating a lonely wooden house. It was a beautiful morning. Which usually meant something terrible was about to happen. In the yard, three children were running. Eight-year-old Shekhar led the chase. His black hair waved with the wind, and his eyes tracked the insect's erratic flight. Behind him stumbled little siblings Vihaan and Himanshi. They rushed after the butterfly, closing in as it fluttered wildly through the yard. Shekhar reached out, his small fingers inches away from the colorful wings. Then, a massive shadow fell over them. A large man lunged ...

I cannot stand how difficult and opaque the Tokyo real estate market really is right now. I work in real estate myself at a fully Japanese company, use REINS daily, and most of the properties I look at already come through connections and off market style networks. In other words, I do have the resources to be part of the behind the scenes side of the market. Recently, I found a detached house: 100sqm, parking, 所有権, 3 minutes from a redeveloping station, 6 minutes by train from Shinagawa. It was priced fairly, so I moved immediately. The listing was 専任 with a major brokerage, so negotiations were already delicate. I made sure the brokerage would receive fees from both sides so ...
