There's a long road a walk up every day to work, and I regularly see *multiple* people texting behind the wheel on it

So today I decide to put my phone camera on and record to see if I could capture some

I captured two today, although one was stopped at a red so not sure about that

My question is, is it possible to me to report this to the police or any other authority and submit the footage as evidence?

Thanks in advance for advice

In most estrangement cases there seems to be a story of when the AC reached out one last time to inform the parents they're going no contact and ask them not to try and speak to them anymore

I Never did. I See myself as being 'no contact', but I've technically never *told* them this. It was quite gradual, being low-contact for a while, then when I eventually decided to myself I didn't wanna speak to them at all anymore I simply blocked them and stopped replying to their messages

I Question sometimes if this is the right way to go about things, and have received a bit of criticism for it when I mentioned it on estrangement spaces before. The fact of the matter is though I just really *don't want to*. The thought of contacting them to explain why I don't want a relationship anymore feels really unnatural and uncomfortable to me

We never really had enough of a relationship in the first place to justify a 'break up' message. I Know a lot of AC's shave a complicated emotional bond with their parents despite any toxicity, hence the need to officially undo that bond and explain their absence. For me though there's no bond to break, it was never there. Explaining my absence seems unnecessary because this is just how we are.

I Suppose when I was younger any relationship I had with them was only out of the practicality of living with and being reliant on them. Once I moved out 8 years ago the drift felt natural and inevitable

I Hoped that blocking them would be enough of a message, but it wasn't as when they realised they were blocked they just moved to a different messaging platform. So I started simply muting their messages instead. Half of me feels guilty, and the other half feels I don't owe them an explanation as they were also present for every event that led up to this

Anyone else in the same position, whats your thoughts?

They said for 'technical reasons'

Is it that the act inherently can't be performed live, or a problem during rehearsal they couldn't overcome, or just the constraints of the BGT stage?

Also do you think the fact they didn't have to perform live is unfair on the other acts?

Tomorrow I'll be voting for the first time in my life and I only just realised I don't know what to do with my 8 month old. Can you take a small baby in a pram with you?

I Just did a Google and found a couple websites saying you can take children in with you but I want some confirmation and clarification. Is there anyone here who's taken a baby when voting before?

Do you have to go into a small booth, if so what would I do with the pram while I'm in there? Would It fit in, will I have to take my child out? These are the sort of things I'm wondering

As I say I've never voted at all before so this whole thing is new. Any insight is appreciated

This question is especially relevant to loss parents, but I welcome anyone's input

Do you think it would It be inappropriate to leave a comment under a photo of a child's grave pointing out that my child is their 'neighbour'?

On Facebook just now I was surprised to see a very familiar looking grave posted in our town's local Facebook group. It's the grave next to my own daughter's in our local cemetery, in fact our own daughter's grave is visible in the photo to the side. The mother was asking for advice about maintaining the plot

After seeing it I kinda wanna say something pointing out that our children's graves are next to eachother, but I don't know if it will be received well? I'm Thinking just commenting something simple like, 'neighbours🩷'. Our grave is in my cover photo so she would be able to see if she looks at my profile

Another parent from the same graveyard has actually commented but they were just giving practical advice and not making it sentimental or whatever

Do you think the other mother would appreciate this or not? Ive Always felt a sentimental connection to my daughter's neighbours but other parents might not feel the same way...
