My father died suddenly and unexpectedly in February of this year. My father always told us that he was leaving us his Roth IRA and was so proud to be able to give that to us. My siblings and I were listed as beneficiaries for the IRA account so we withdrew the money. Fast forward to this month, we find out we are being sued by his wife, according to the North Carolina 15-year marriage rule.
The only assets my father owned were his car, his 401k, his Elvis memorabilia collection, jewelry, and several musical instruments. His wife began giving items away before she filed the will. The will left everything to her but stated nothing about the IRA account. The only items she gave us (which she left out in the driveway like trash) were photos, a few clothing items, very low quality Elvis items, a coffee mug, and gifts we had given him. She also made sure to include a random broken table and my nephew’s toilet training seat. To my knowledge, nothing has been inventoried.
His wife owned the house. She was the breadwinner. Her assets far outweigh his. Do we have any chance with this case?

My husband and I have been together 10 years. We have never been the most sexually active couple besides that first honeymoon phase. Lately, I have been putting in more of an effort and we had sex several days in a row. I decided to be adventerous and buy my first sex toy. I got a couples wand and presented it to him as a surprise gift. Long story short - he did not seem that excited and did not even want to use it the first day we had it. I’m a very sensitive, self-conscious person so putting myself out there by trying something new was huge for me. I expected him to be excited and to want to try it right away or at least that night. Now, I’m shutting down, embarrassed, and just want to go back to not having sex.

Am I taking this too personally?

I want to hear from BCBA’s providing outside of the typical Autism insurance funded ABA. What’s your subspecialty? Did you need additional certification? I am in desperate need of a change!

I currently work full time at a clinic 35 hours per week and have been here for 10 months. 3 months ago, my father unexpectedly passed away due to complications from a surgery and I have been in survival mode ever since. I am diagnosed with ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder, panic attacks and anxiety and I am struggling very hard right now. As much as work is a distraction, it also requires me to mask all day long only to be exhausted emotionally, physically, and mentally when I get home. This is not sustainable and I need to make a change. My therapist suggested an intensive outpatient program and time off of work. I think it is what I need right now. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? How did your employer handle it? I appreciate any feedback.
