So I guess my parents are getting divorced for real this time. I've only gotten like 3 hours of sleep in the last two days, and now I'm sitting wondering if I have the strength to call my dad, who will probably die of sheer heartbreak either way.
Meanwhile, my mom is trying to use chatgpt to convince me that she's completely faultless and my dad is the root of all of this family's problems. 🙄
And I wonder if I should bother explaining to her why LLMs can't be trusted and that chatgpt in particular is a yes-man, or if I should just block her and move on, knowing that she'd rather take advice from a robot than her own freaking son.
So I get on lemmy to doomscroll a bit, and end up explaining to someone how to verify if a cop is real or not, only for some jerk to interject with a complete non-sequitur. I figured it was obvious trolling so I gave them words, but now I have a bunch of down votes so I guess I played that wrong idk.
Apologies to my clothes rack, which now finally needs to be replaced after being the victim of my rage like 6 times since I got it...
(And I don't think therapy can help, by the way. How's a person supposed to resolve trust issues when you're paying them to talk to you? And yea I've been.)
Anyway I was gonna wait for lemm.ee to shutdown to force me to stop using this place but idk I might just delete it today. Idk what I'll do instead but maybe watching paint dry isn't as bad as people make it out to be...
Anyway thanks all for listening, I hope you're having a better day than I am. 🫶
This is such a weird take. You're not paying the therapist to be your yes-man, you're paying them to challenge your thinking and teach you new ways to view, think through, and react to a situation. Essentially you're there to learn new skills, kind of like hiring a tutor to help you with math class. Plus it can be helpful to have an objective point of view.
That said, some therapists suck and some just won't be a good match for you, so the process of finding one can be really frustrating. And if you're not open to therapy then it's pretty much a waste of time.
I'm sorry for all you're going through. It sounds like your folks are wrapped up in their own stuff and aren't recognizing that you need to be supported through this change.
I am sorry that you’re going through all this. I hope you find the strength to get through it and come out stronger. ❤️
I think I would be easy to show your mom that chat-gpt is a yes-man if you think that’s worth your time. But also, understand that she’s probably just getting it to confirm things she already felt so it probably won’t change her mind.
Hey, I think you replied to me by mistake :)
lol I guess I did! I’m sorry!
