traveled together with the ex and our other kids to drop our eldest off - relatively uneventful but only because I made it that way - i footed the bill for EVERYTHING except maybe two meals, she refused to see any of my family so that just added another burden to managing the whole thing. There were so many things I wanted to say but bit my lip - especially about this being about our eldest, not about her or us or whatever. Anyway, kid is settling in well and the correctness of the divorce decision was reinforced throughout the experience!

Preamble: This sub has had a blanket prohibition / strict limitations on all of the posts mentioned in the thread title. The reasons are pretty self-apparent and the amount of "predatory" posts / comments we flag and delete on a daily/weekly/monthly basis is significant (by that I mean anywhere from 20 to 100 per month). Automoderator does well at gatekeeping posts from new accounts (albeit to the detriment of our brothers in crisis who may have a delay in their posts being approved if they have a throwaway, but we usually manually approve at least twice every 24 hours).

More importantly, our community regulates itself and we thank all the users who submit reports because it is very, very helpful.

Problem: That said, there are legitimate, useful, and helpful tools, services and content out there that our community should become more aware of and have access to without having to go searching high and low outside of this community.

So that's what this thread is for.

Guidelines:

1. Declare any affiliations.
2. No risky clicks.
3. Message the mods with problems on any particular comment before commenting in the comments.
4. All rules still apply elsewhere, this is the ONLY place in the sub such content is allowed.

1. We do not have any affiliations and this thread is not an endorsement of whatever is offered here.
