I have like a classic shower/tub combo. When I take shower the drain doesn't really work and it ends up backing up to the point where I am basically standing in a bath taking a shower. It is getting old and I don't know how to fix it. Its such bad waterflow that the soap dries to the side of the tub instead of flowing down into the drain. I have to manually clean it off and I'm just tired of it. I shave my chest and down south once a week so some hair goes down but its not like a ton of hair as it's regular maintenance for me. Not enough that it should cause my drain to not work in my non plumbing opinion. Is there anything I can do to fix it? submitted by /u/Bulky_Ambition3675 to r/Plumbing [link] [comments]

(This got removed when I tried posting it last, hoping it's because I linked to pics off imgur. Trying again!!!) ~ Hi there, I have a shower tub one-piece combo (like in this picture) that I want to install a door on. I'm a bit tall, and want the top of the door to be above my head (to prevent splashback from the faucet). However, like in the picture above, the top of my shower walls are not flush with the bathroom walls (circled here). What is it that I put there to allow the rails/door walls to extend past the top of the shower? My first thought was wood blocks, but I don't think wood is necessarily the best water blocker.... Thank you! submitted by /u/ItsThomasOrIsIt to r/HomeImprovement [link] [comments]

Where are you buying your products for a bathroom remodel? We are looking for a shower/ tub combo kit that’s 54 inches in length and I cannot find one anywhere!! We can find a tub to drop in that’s the right size but then have to tile and it’s making us go way over budget. Alternatives or we bite the bullet? submitted by /u/its_strawberryblonde to r/BathroomRemodeling [link] [comments]

We’re just getting started on renovating our small main bathroom for a family of four (kids 9 and 13) and would love some input. At this point, we’re planning to keep the existing layout as we haven’t found a better alternative. The door currently swings out into the hallway which isn’t ideal, but it works better than requiring clearance inside the bathroom. As a partial solution we’re considering installing a narrower door. For the tub/shower, I had originally planned to simply replace the bathtub so we’d still have the option for baths. That said, we do have another tub in the basement and tend to shower about 90% of the time. We’re now considering a shower-only setup, but I’m concerned the entry might feel awkward given the toilet’s position and a shorter half wall will allow water to splash out. We plan on keeping the narrow open shelving beside the toilet (but it can be removed). However, the bulkhead above that area (which continues over the shower) must remain due to plumbing/stack constraints. We’d also like to close off the large shelving nook and reclaim some of that space for our son’s bedroom (likely as a recessed bookshelf on his side). On the bathroom side, we’d keep a portion of that space for a recessed medicine cabinet—ideally concealed behind a flush door or even framed artwork. Any suggestions or ideas/tips would be very appreciated! Last pic is design inspo I liked... submitted by /u/Nuance8 to r/BathroomRemodeling [link] [comments]

The inside of my tub shower combo is stripped and ready. I did not yet strip outside the frame. I was thinking the outside lines could hold everything in place while recaulk the inside, let it cure and then attack the outside frame another day. Is it better to do it all at once? Inside and outside frame? Or can I plan this on 2 stages? Thanks! Edit: using GE Pro Seal Max silicone submitted by /u/hodorstonks to r/HomeImprovement [link] [comments]

Hello fellow r/tile redditors! I had my bathroom completely rebuilt 3 years ago due to a water leak. Had to rip out everything and replace the subfloor, redid the plumbing, floor and shower/tub combo. A few months ago, I noticed some paint bubbling in the corner of the tub, on the showerhead side. We added a small plastic corner to avoid water runoff as a cheap stopgap. Today was the day when I cut it open to look at what's going on. Thankfully, the backside is bone dry, which is a relief. Looks like it really is / was water coming from the front. However, I'm not sure the best course of action is at this point. Looks like there was a super thick slap of spackling that was absorbing water, and water was basically getting absorbed there over time. A little over time adding up, because we have a shower curtain that blocks water well and we check after every shower and there isn't any water accumulation. I'm mainly worried about how the schluter trim is installed on top of the tub surround. Would water be coming from that area, and I'm basically fucked at this point? I learned after the reno you're supposed to extend the tile further out than the tub, didn't know that at the time so couldn't point it out to the contractor. Would very, very much like to avoid retiling if at all possible. Thanks, wise redditors! submitted by /u/wakeforce to r/Tile [link] [comments]

Every time I see this I die a little... I love a bath. Americans should be taking more long baths, it calms the nervous system! I'm from the US and god knows I need every chance I can to chill. Perhaps we need more inspiration for non ugly alcove bath/shower combos? Unless it's a large suburban house there isn't usually any space for a nice stand alone tub. Are people seeing this elsewhere as well? submitted by /u/SoccerMomXena to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

Welcome to my 1925 bathroom. This gem will turn 101 this year, and she’s ready for a little face lift. We are working with someone to remove the metal bars and replace broken tiles with ones from our shower that we had to unfortunately lose due to a plumbing issue. The tub will be converted to a shower/tub combo and the shower will be converted to a closet. We want to make it look glam, so we have plans to Tile the bath walls above the existing tile and tile the arch. Any recommendations on color/tile type to use? Anyone done this before? We may also reglaze the tub to be white, but haven’t made a final decision. submitted by /u/WholeDepartment3391 to r/centuryhomes [link] [comments]

I miss taking baths and would love to replace this shower pan with a tub. However, it’s a condo, so we can’t change the plumbing that’s in the walls. It seems pretty simple to add a tub and replace the glass door, but I’m not sure where the tub faucet would go. submitted by /u/clementinecentral123 to r/askaplumber [link] [comments]

Does anyone have any tips or tricks on cleaning the shower? I've got the classic shower and tub combo and it's literally my most hated chore. You have to clean the shower from top to bottom and I have a shower wall that doesn't get clean unless I literally scrub it! Also my shower head isn't removable so I've gotta use a bucket to rinse all the suds out. It's so exhausting submitted by /u/Putrid-Engineering59 to r/Cleaningandtidying [link] [comments]

We’re redoing the only full bathroom in our 3 bed, 1.5 bath, 1700 sq ft starter home. It’s in a great neighborhood with a mix of older folks and young families. We plan to stay here for another 5–7 years, likely moving once we have a second kid and outgrow the space. The full bath layout is tight and a bit awkward, only a 48” tub/shower combo would fit. The alternative is a decent-sized walk-in shower. We don’t take baths ourselves, but we’re torn because: • Baths are helpful for young kids (we’re planning to start a family soon). • We’ve heard tubs are a “must-have” for resale, especially for older buyers or families. • A 48” tub feels cramped and not super functional, while a walk-in shower could be much nicer day-to-day. Is it worth squeezing in a tiny tub for future resale value, or would a well-designed walk-in shower be just fine? Curious what others have done or would recommend in a similar situation. EDIT: To get a larger tub than 48” we would have to totally reconfigure the space and move the toilet, which doesn’t seem worth the investment. Current bathroom dimensions: 80”x94” submitted by /u/BigOak27 to r/Renovations [link] [comments]

It seems a huge selling point on homes is a walk in tile shower, no tub. All I see is more mess in the floor, it’s harder to clean because there’s grout to scrub, and if there’s a door that’s another cleaning too. I also think the shower tubs are better for young kids compared to the tile shower. Am I missing something? submitted by /u/curlyfirestick to r/NoStupidQuestions [link] [comments]

Wibta if I install child lock on the toilet seat? I (40f) live with my 2 teenaged sons (15m and 14m) and my husband (42m). Recently we remodel a room for my 15 year old to have his own bedroom, but he has to share the same bathroom as me and my husband. Prior to this room change I didnt have an issue with the toilet seat being left up because it rarely happened. This last week I have had to replace the toilet paper a lot more frequently and cant go into the bathroom without having to touch the dirty toilet seat to put it back down. Of course everytime I ask who left it up everyone always says "oh it wasn't me". My husband backs me up when he is awake (he works night shift for context), but considering that means that the 17 hours he is either at work or asleep i am stuck being the parent in charge. Tonight was the last straw I walked in to go use the bathroom before bed and had to shut the lid down again this is the 7th time today. When i told my son either put the lid down or use the other bathroom he smarted off "well you are the only female in the house why should we have to close the lid." I have had enough of his attitude considering i have been busting my butt to ensure he had his own bedroom. Seriously feels like I am the only parent most days because of my husband's work schedule. I threatened to put a child lock on the seat and my son responded with "good luck cleaning pi$$ off the seat then". Wibta if I install child locks on the toilet? Just to add some clarity he is now grounded for his disrespect and language he thinks is OK to use at me. Edit/ Update: HOLY COW I didnt expect this to instantly blow up. Ok so backstory we moved into this house last year. Our house we moved from the boys had basically their own living room, bathroom, and bedrooms. Our house we moved into is small. It was originally 2 bedroom 2 bathrooms. We remodeled the laundry/storage room into another bedroom for my oldest son. Prior to this the boys had a bathroom of their own in their room. "My" bathroom was off of the hall. The "master bedroom" was the boys room even though it wasn't much larger than the one my husband and i have. So my 15 year old now has the room across the hall from us. Prior to this room switch he shared a bathroom with his brother and if they left the seat up that was their own issue seeing as they didnt use mine. As for how my son's punishment he is now grounded from my bathroom and has to use the one in his brother's room. Since neither of them admitted to leaving it up they both have to share again. He also is currently washing laundry and cleaning my bathroom. His words were "I am sorry for what I said and I understand why you are mad". Clarification on some stuff: we are actually in the process of completely adding a master bedroom and master bathroom. His room we remodel is temporary it was never meant to be a permanent solution. That is why we aren't switching rooms with our 14 year old. Honestly the toilet seat was the breaking point. Prior to that there had been several issues that I had been trying to correct ie. Not putting a trash bag in the trash can in the kitchen, not picking up the dirty clothes off the floor, etc. Each of the boys have regular chores load the dishwasher, take put trash, clean their room, basic stuff. 24 hour update: Had a long talk with him last night. He is still grounded. The toilet seat has been down all day that I have seen. He has been doing his normal chores today plus helping more. I calmly explained the issue of chores not being done and I have been the one cleaning the bathroom prior to this my bathroom is the only one with a tub/shower combo. The other has a shower stall. So when they want a regular bath and not a shower they use mine. submitted by /u/Novel-Blueberry-3679 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I am building an addition onto my house. I am in the process right now of doing back of napkin drawings to show the architect so they have some idea what I want. My problem is in the bathroom. I want a really big whirlpool tub or soaking tub. My dream is one of the 72" x 36" ones. Problem is I only have an 8' x 10' space. I put the design together showed it to my wife and she pointed out that there is no shower in there and having a master bath with a tub and no shower is stupid. She is not wrong. This is the floor plan I came up with. So my options seem to be to do a tub/shower combo instead or re-design my layout. I looked at the former and the whirlpool tubs or soaking tubs with showers attached all look weird to me. I'd love to re-design and put a shower in there somewhere. The door swinging into the room is a problem but a pocket door solves it. The rest of the issues with my design not so much. Showers at Lowes look to be 2'8" commonly so that's the size I put on my diagram but I don't know where to put it in the room. We want - separate sinks, a tub, a toilet and a shower. What other options do I have here or am I missing an obvious re-design thing? edit: Fixed my typo on the shower size. It is 2'8", not 28". submitted by /u/agreeingstorm9 to r/homeowners [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/scared890 Me [24F] with my ex [27M] of 4 years ago, I think he broke into my apartment and set up a camera. Am I being crazy? TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic abuse, violence against a pregnant woman, stalking, religious abuse, harassment Original Post Oct 19, 2015 I (24F) met my ex (27M) 7 years ago and we dated for about 1 year and I ended up pregnant. He is a Jehovah's Witness and I was raised in this but was never baptized (thankfully). When I ended up pregnant I was told that I had to marry him if I wanted to be in good standing at the Kingdom Hall (church). I agreed and decided not to listen to my parents when they begged me to take my time and make that decision later. Of course this meant staying and living with my parents and as a brainwashed 18 yr old I thought he was the best thing that's ever happened to me and he couldn't do me wrong because he was a Jehovah's Witness and they can't do no wrong ... Boy was I wrong. While pregnant he would emotionally and physically abuse me. To the point where my son was pre mature and I fell into postpartum depression. When my son was 8 months old I decided I had enough and I needed to put my feelings and "love" I had for this man aside and make the right decision for my son. I left him. I left the religion. I don't know how I did it but to this day I thank my son for giving me the strength and love to get past it. Fast forward about 5 years ... I am doing great!! I have an amazing career. Great car. I live on my own with my son. We have everything we need. I recently began my first relationship and he's amazing. My ex and I actually have a pretty cordial co parenting relationship. He seems to have matured a lot and is now in a relationship. I get along great with his gf and my son likes her. He recently decided to move 2 doors next to my place. I didn't really mind this as we don't fight or hate each other. I actually saw this as a good thing since he will be closer to our son and can be more involved in school. Last week I walk into my apartment and someone had broken in. But they didn't take anything at all. A few stuff were moved around... Seemed like they were looking for something and gave up. The first thing that popped in my head was my sons father. I have been living here for years and never had any issues. I actually live in front of the police station so unless you go in through the back they would see everything. I filed a police report and left it at that. Now this is where it gets weird and my suspicion is proving itself to be right.. I dropped off my son at his house 3 days ago and he mentioned how I shouldn't allow our son to have certain toys because they are "violent" action figures (power rangers). There is no way he would know this. Since he is a JW I don't like disrespecting his beliefs so I make sure that my son does not bring those toys to his house. When I asked him how he knew about it he turned pale. He didn't know what to say and finally said that my son mentioned it. Ok so maybe my son could've told him ... But maybe he didn't.. To add to my suspicion 2 days ago I dropped my son off in the AM and he slipped and told me that I need to shower my son everyday because last night I didn't. There is NO way my son could've told him. He didn't speak to him and it was literally the morning after. Also I shower my son everyday but he had swim class and we got home late so I figured he was okay to skip ( I know sounds lazy but I'm sure we've all had those days). Am I being paranoid? I hate feeling like I don't have privacy in my own home. Should I ask him? Is there a way I can check myself? I've tried looking but nothing I see that shows me there could be a camera.. tl;dr: Someone broke into my house 2 weeks after my ex moved in next door. I think he put a camera in my home to see how I am living with my son. RELEVANT COMMENTS OOP Added thisin the comments as a reply to a commenter I did not know he was moving in 2 doors down. He told me when he signed the lease and at that point I tried to look at the "bright side" of things. I now see that there is no bright side in this situation. I hate the feeling of walking out my door and knowing he can see what time I am home and what time I get back by just seeing if my car is in my driveway. I agree that the religion he is teaching my son is NOT good in ANY way.. but there's not much the law will do besides give me full rights to his medical decisions (which I have). When he is with his dad he goes to his church but when he is with me he knows we don't do any of that stuff. Once my son is at a certain age he will be able to make the right decision and I will ALWAYS steer him the right way. Make him ask questions and to do his research first then come to a conclusion. We have shared custody but I make the decisions on medical. I tried taking custody but unfortunately I lost the case. The abuse is documented. I lifted the restraining order after 2 years that we divorced. We would do pick up and drop off at the police station and after 2 years I had to take the next step in trusting that the past was just that. I did not want my son asking me why he gets dropped off at a police station parking lot. I did see a therapist .. mostly for the way that the religion had a hold of me. I also was suffering from postpartum depression so a whole lot of things were discussed. I don't think I was ever able to recover. It was so bad that my mind physiologically blocked my memories of those years. Which is something my therapist warned me about.. although its good that I don't recall certain things it also makes me vulnerable.. just like it did in this situation. Certain things definitely trigger it like certain songs or going back to that town.. i should also mention that my sons father was diagnosed with Bipolar. I would not be shocked if I have a camera in my apartment. I am gathering all the advice on this thread and will have to tactfully make a plan that I can look for it without seeming like I am. caseyoc I'm a former JW too. Do you think it's possible that he's trying to figure out if you're sleeping with your boyfriend, and that your ex is therefore "Biblically free" to remarry? OOP We divorced already.. the elders told him not to sign it because that means that he can't remarry. I took it to court and after showing the court all my police reports and pictures of abuse they consented the divorce. I do see your point. On his end he is not free to re-marry.. this could be why he is doing this. Although he is SOL because I do not have my BF stay over. I will always go to his place when he is with his father. Especially now that he lives so close. Its weird. I was encouraged to come here to share my story about my ex and a hidden camera I found. - update Oct 27, 2015 I have been lurking in the sub for the past week and I am so happy I found this! I really wish I would have known about this years ago when I left the congregation. It would have made the pain less and the loneliness not as bad. When I left the organization I had no friends and no encouragement that I almost convinced myself multiple times to go back but I was able to get through it. I wanted to share my story with you but before I'll give a little background on my past. I pretty much grew up as a witness and I never got baptized. I met my sons father when I was about 18 and I ended up pregnant a couple months after that. The elders pretty much forced marriage on me. As soon as we moved in together he was abusive. It was horrible. He would physically abuse me knowing I was pregnant with his son. It got so bad that I would literally urinate myself because of how scared I was of him. The last time he laid his hands on me was when I Was 6 1/2 months pregnant. i remember he barged into the bathroom since he knew I was calling the cops and when he opened the door he hit my belly and I went straight into the tub. They had to perform an emergency c section. When I was under anesthesia he even signed a paper stating I would be refusing blood transfusion and since he was my husband it was his decision to make. Thankfully I had great doctors and my son and I were healthy and made it through. I remember the elders coming to visit me when I was still in the hospital. I remember them telling me that I needed to work harder in putting jehovah first in our marriage because without him our marriage would fail. A few months later I left him and I left the organization. I went to therapy for my postpartum depression and I was able to physiologically block those memories even though sometimes certain things trigger it and it all comes back. It's insane how the mind works. I have a great relationship with my parents. They never shunned me and they always always look after my son and I. I know they are brainwashed but I know deep down my father knows I made the right decision. And after all this mess I think he's opening his eyes a little. The link below is my 1st post and then below I copied and pasted my update. I don't know why they locked my post. I was at work and when I checked it was automatically locked. I did receive some good advice on there but it's different when it comes from people who know what you grew up in and know just how much mind control plays a big role on everything when it comes to Jw. I also would like some advice on how to handle these elders. They keep calling my parents and begging them to reason with me. I am assuming this is really going to reflect them in a bad light and we all know how much they hate that. Also please keep in mind that my parents (although witnesses) have my best interest in mind. My father sat me down and told me no matter what he will stand by my decision and he will fully support me going through with these charges. I just wish that they didn't have to receive all this harassment.

I figured it would put my mind at ease and I can finally feel comfortable in my own home. I paid for 2 day delivery and planned out what I would do so that I can use this without being obvious. Since I knew that the only way I can do this was by having my sons father in front of me so I decided to tell him I needed to speak with him regarding a new schedule I would like to follow. Friday- We decided to meet up for ice cream with our son. I gave my BF a spare key so he can go in and see if the spy detector worked. I want to say that our meeting lasted about 40 mins until I finally got the 'ok' from my BF and I wrapped up the conversation. When I got into my car I called my BF and all he told me that I needed to drop my son off at my moms and head over to my place. I did exactly as he said. When I arrived to my place I parked and my BF comes inside my car and breaks the news to me.. he told me that the detectors detected something but it was not clear. It kept showing red in my sons room around the doorknob but it also showed red on one side of a wall that didn't have anything hanging near it. At this point I didn't know what to do or say. Maybe this was just a malfunction and there is nothing there.. or maybe there is. I decided that I needed to call the cops. I didn't know if it was going to be the right call but its showing signal in my sons room and that was enough for me to make that call even if I sounded "silly" to the cops. Once the cops showed up I explained to him the situation (he usually works the morning shift surveillance in my sons school so i see him every morning). He was very understanding and told me he was calling in a tech that would have the equipment as not all cops carry it. At this point I still did not tell the cops that I thought maybe it was my sons father, I figured once it was confirmed I would let out that part. 10 mins later... my sons dad walks up my driveway and asks if I am okay. I say yes and that's when the cop walks up (I think he saw how uncomfortable I was) and tells him only the residents are allowed to be there. He goes to tell the cop that he is my sons father and the cop starts asking him if he is from the area. As soon as he tells him he recently moved 2 houses down the cop asked him to leave since he was not a resident. Once off the property the cop starts asking me more questions about my sons father and that's when I went into full blown detail. After the conversation he tells me its a high chance that he could have placed a camera in my sons room. Once the tech arrived he scanned the room and at this point we were told to still wait outside. About 30 mins later he asks me to come in and for my BF to stay behind. He proceeds to tell me that there was a camera in my sons room. They found a tiny camera in the door knob. Not sure if you are familiar with this but my doorknobs lock from the inside but on the opposite side there is a little hole where you usually need a flat head screw driver or a similar looking key to open it ( I will take a picture later on to show). He explained to me whoever put in this camera replaced the doorknobs with 2 of the same knobs (meaning that the door no longer has a lock). I NEVER realized this. It was such a small detail that I never realized. I never lock my sons room so this was not something I would look into. I broke down. I didn't know what to say or what to think. He told me that it was linking through Bluetooth/wifi. Unfortunately the camera signal was cut and he was working on getting some code to see where the signal was coming from. Once they confirmed this I was given the address and of course it ended up coming from my ex's address. Not the exact address but more coordination points (no idea what they refer it to they just told me it's a System they use to track a signal) I was in complete shock. I think part of me thought he would never do this. He would never violate my privacy and our sons privacy by doing this. I thought we were passed this stage. After they broke the news to me they told me I can press charges if I would like. If this is what I decided to do they would have to process a warrant for his arrest. It was the hardest decision I had to make but I told them yes. They explained to me that the best thing for me to do was to stay at a relatives or friends house until this was resolved as it can be dangerous for me to be so close to him. I don't understand why they couldn't take him then and there but I told them I would pack a bag. I decided to stay at my parents home. It was near my job and it was a place my son was comfortable staying in. I did not hear from my ex at all Saturday. I know I mentioned in my previous post that my parents/ex are Jehovah's Witness .. which plays a big part in this whole story. Sunday night my parents had plans and I stayed behind with my son. I hear a knock on the door. I look and to my surprise it is 2 elders (I guess you can call them pastors to those not familiar with the terms). These were the same men that would tell me not to call the cops when my ex would get physical. These are also the same men that watched me grow up since I was 3. I decided to open the door and they asked to come in (my brother was in the other room so I felt a little more at ease speaking with them). As soon as they start taking the bible out I tell them I do not feel comfortable with that and if they have anything to say it will be through a conversation and not through the bible. They agreed and started explaining to me the consequences my ex is facing in the kingdom hall for what he has done. They also told me that my ex was taken down to the station Sunday morning but that he 'confessed' to them everything on Saturday. To make it short they begged me to drop the charges and kept telling me to think about my son. To think about how he would feel knowing his dad is facing these charges. They kept saying over and over that Jehovah does not condemn his behavior and sometimes the organization can work this out within themselves. I told them I would not drop the charges. What he did was violate my privacy and that I was happy that they would work it out between their religion but I would work out my end through the law. They proceeded to tell me that they have lawyers that can back up my ex and that if this is the route I take I should make sure I am covered as well. They also said the reason he put a camera is because he wants custody of my son, because its not fair to him to not have eternal life and my ex can save my son. Crazy right? I don't know what he was trying to find by putting a camera in my sons room because I have absolutely nothing to hide and my son is very well taken care of. I asked them to leave and they did. When I told my dad about what happened and what they were saying to me he called one of the elders and pretty much went off on him. I hope it doesn't ruin his rep since I know this religion means the world to him but at the same time I also hope maybe this will open his eyes. This is all such a nightmare to me. I don't know what to do. Deep down I do not want to press charges because he is my sons father. I don't want this to ruin his record or for my son to grow up and find out I placed his dad in jail over this. I also know what its like to be brainwashed and be under mind control. The other part of me feels like he needs to learn his lesson. He needs to know that you can't simply violate someones privacy because of your religion. I am not sure what is or will be happening yet. Last I heard he was out on a bail and will have a court date which I will need to appear to as well. At that time I can decide to drop the charges if i wanted to. I also received a court date from the Family Court and he is going for full custody. He filed about a month ago so this is something he has been planning. I am hoping this whole thing will work for my benefit which is another reason why I should not drop the charges as it will help me in family court. So for now that's all that has happened. I don't know what steps to take from here and I am sort of taking it day by day. I have found a new place and after talking to my landlord he is letting me break the lease. I hate that I have to move. I love my apartment and I will be moving to a much smaller place for more $.. I wish I didn't have to move but there is not much else I can do. RELEVANT COMMENTS oneliterduckeater DO NOT DROP ANY CHARGES. My reasoning. Besides all the religious BS, your ex is not rational and is already physically abusive. This is a bad combo. It has been my experience that he will never get better without therapy and or medication and most likely issues will arise where he won't do or continue treatment even if he started. What are the charges against your ex? Has the DA's office stopped any further investigation? Have you had an opportunity to speak with the investigators in your case? Have they hinted that they have other concerns about him? Law enforcement can be very effective in un-earthing things through intimidation. They however, will not want to be jerked around and expend the effort if they sense you won't follow through. They may intimidate you a little to test your resolve. Hold fast to what you decide! All the data he was gathering about you to perhaps further his custody case has been made null and void and is inadmissible because it was garnered from a criminal act and will not be allowed to be presented.His illegal actions will also be used against him. All that goes away if you don't press charges. If you have not contacted a local agency concerning spousal abuse (regardless of marriage status) they will help you or direct you to help. They have experience in this and will guide you to the best course of action as well as provide support. Concerning the elders that visited. Regardless of what we think about the Org. that wasn't protocol and if you want that bullshit to stop dead in its tracks...contact or have someone contact a sharp elder from another congregation etc. if you want that. These things that are happening to you are not unique to the Org.. They happen everywhere, a lot. Because of that there are many resources. Please make use of them. I hope you remain safe and everything works out for the best for you. OOP I actually went today to the court to file a restraining order and the gave me a temporary one until the court date where the judge will make it permanent. I also went to the station and asked more info on what was going on. They couldn't tell me much besides that even if I do drop charges the state is also pressing charges. Apparently they take this stuff really serious since it was a in a child's room. They told me someone would be in contact with me but I should get a lawyer since it's not recommended to do this alone as there are many things I won't understand or will need professional advice on. I asked them what they did with the evidence and they told me they have it and cannot release it to anyone since it is now in municipal custody. I am looking into lawyers and made a few consultations for tomorrow. My court date for custody is at the end of November so I am hoping the other court date for the camera is before so I can have more evidence that he is not suitable to take custody. Although I feel that just by having those charges pending and him out on bail is enough for the judge to rule me full custody. As I am now seeking for that as well. We have shared custody but after this I want full custody. ~ fridayfern Wow, GO YOUR DAD!!! IMO your ex is a psychopath and should be locked up immediately. You have a fantastic BF and a good cop now listen to these people and get a good LAWYER. It looks like the dominoes are all set up to fall upon this creep. OOP I am definitely lawyering up and will keep all charges. The state is also pressing charges so by the looks of it he is in deep deep trouble which is why the elders are acting the way they are. After the whole child abuse stuff going on I am sure they don't want an article stating how a JW had a camera installed in his sons bedroom. I also forgot to mention that one of the elders is actually my exes uncle. Which could be another reason for the constant pressure to drop the charges. ~ OldMovieFan This sounds like really strange behaviour from the elders, almost like they have a vested interest in having the charges dropped. Hmmm now why might that be? If your ex is going for full custody he would have sought the assistance of the elders. Maybe the elders suggested he put in a spy camera or maybe they knew someone who had expétise in this. If the charges aren't dropped the facts might come out. I don't know if you are award but the organisation has a printed guide for JWs involved in custody cases. If the elders are calling your parents get them to ask the elders whether your ex had specifically admittéd to I breaking in and installing the spycam AND if there was anyone else involved. When the elders told you that he would be dealt with in the congregation did they spell out what you they would do? Do not drop any charges, especially for the sake of your son. OOP One of the elders is actually my exes uncle. Which makes it a conflict of interest although he was part of the committee when I was pregnant and they took away my privileges I had as an unbaptized publsiher (if that's the term? Sorry I went to a Spanish hall and do not know some of the English terms). It seems so weird to me just how much they are pushing and harassing my family. It's almost as if something else is happening that they are afraid of. They told me that they are still going through there process but that this can lead up to him being reprimanded? What's the term where you are not shunned but you are pointed out as bad association. Is it censored? Not sure but he won't get shunned just a slap on the wrist.

Trying to rid this house of the early 2000’s one room at a time. Just finished up the hall bathroom. Total redo, got rid of the gross one piece shower/tub combo, the ugly beige walls and golden oak cabinets. submitted by /u/lodaddyo to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]
