YTA , instead of thinking like a parent you were thinking like a hurt spouse and acted out. Of course it was necessary to tell the kids, but this isn’t the kind of stuff that should be just blurted out . Despite age you need to consider your childrens feelings. You didn’t and turned it into a threat. So instead of taking time and thinking the situation through it had be be blurted out.

The proper response is to allow some time for a thoughtful presentation that takes into account that the situation is absolutely shit for the children adults or not. That wasn’t done.

Your putting your feeling about your ex-wife on them and looking for the internet to make you feel better about it. Even in the one sided version of events you posted up there is enough there you have mixed feelings about how you acted. 20 year olds don’t have to hang out with estranged parents out of obligation. Their mom is still their mom.

Yes, Alcohol is very lightly regulated. You can buy it from a store as long as you show proof of age.

When stuff goes that wrong it can be hard to keep in perspective. It’s the right thing to do, but the kind of thing that may take more than 90 minutes to get right. Even though the ‘kids’ are adults see if you can get them some kind of counseling or therapy. Just someone they can talk to without a side.

It’s not just spez , there are going to be a LOT of folks in reddit willing to burn it to the ground to create valuation for an IPO. The next Mod blackout need to happen the night before and the day of the IPO.

unfortunately all of the work this team has done made this a big enough draw to justify paid professional mods. Anything that draws millions of views and engagement can be taken over by reddit. I doubt a single tear is being shed over full control being handed over to a paid reddit employee

Everything you are saying makes perfect sense. Many of the tasks we do are simply because they are necessary. You get a boost from the schedule when it is ‘new’ but as time goes on that fades. Habit is a powerful tool. Keep to the same things at the same time making things automatic.

It sounds like you may not just have adhd, but your mention of feeling ‘nothing’ sounds a bit like a depressive symptom. You may want to talk with a doctor. If it is depression there are medications that start to get you on the right track.

Making a post that blows up like this one was a thing on reedit. You got a score and that encouraged gaming/trolling. It’ll take a bit to realize that karma isn’t a thing.

If Ukraine was given fighter jets and sufficient anti-air capacity about 499 days ago there would be much less need for artillery. That isn’t what happened. These weapons will leave that portion of Ukraine uninhabitable for decades if not longer.

It makes sense even if they don’t want to blow it up. It’s the one place that’s not going to get a storm shadow visit.
