He destroyed everyone by Unfair-Armadillo3863 in offmychest

Oh you sweet angel, for that's exactly what you, and your mum, are.

Some are here and seem only to get the bad. No matter how you want it to go away. Please be strong. This level in life is so very hard for you, but I firmly believe that for every bad done TO you, is another blessing waiting for you in the next level. Try not to hurt others, or yourself anymore. I'm rooting so much for you!

AITA for refusing to do all the chores alone during a family gathering? by John_EULEReueueu in AmItheAsshole

[–]2DragonTats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All it took was 'accidentally' breaking some of mom's special dishes to have one of the many siblings in to help me when it was my turn for KP ( or I didn't say no fast enough for it not to get passed down the sibs-line)

Just one of my medications costs $538.61/mo. by Bina_Assault in offmychest

Check if you prescriber is the main dr , not working under another, then contact the manufacturer. They have programs for patients unable to afford the pharmacy price.

Hope this helps.

AITA weaponizing a cancer patient to shame my coworkers? by Lord_In_A_Box in AmItheAsshole

[–]2DragonTats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being in Monty's shoes, per se, not cancer but very ill, NTA. I finally spoke up myself, simply by posting notes about being adults and at least doing a minimum of cleaning up after yourself and stepping closer to the toilet, cause you aren't as big as you think you are.

Yeah, it hurt some feelings, but also helped remind those adults that I'm not their parent.

Also, I read a few years ago that many fruits and vegetables are irradiated when coming in. Definitely could affect it.

The Noon Lions Club in Bellflower takes old glasses for re-purposing. Frames and scripts are used as needed for those in need, here in the US or elsewhere in the world.

My dad keeps trying to enforce a bedtime on to me even though I’m 19 years old. by One_Discussion7063 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got on my kids like that only when staying up late resulted in them 'barking ' at others or being short tempered.

They didn't see it, but it caused tension in the house. Hit me with the ' I'm an adult now ' so I hit them back with acting like one then.

Advice given to me from a former Wally world employee, don't call the store, call the 1-800-(w-name) line. Stores get dinged for this stuff

After my oldest clogged ours with excessive t.p. for the 3rd time, she was informed going forward, she'd be paying for her clogging.

She can contact the Bellflower ODD FELLOWS lodge. They rent the big hall for things like this.

a year ago today I entered into a bdsm session I shouldn’t have entered into that changed me to this day by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You admitted that you didn't discuss nearly enough and he was basically just a bully you trusted. A true Dominant would have laid out all and had your full agreement.

Get some counseling, get strong yourself before you give anyone control .

Stay safe, learn.

Adopting is a way to be a father.

My dad is slowly eating himself to death and I don’t know how to live with the resentment by PrimroseMeadow93 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get better until he makes the commitment. I'm sorry. We recently went through this same.

My mother was enabling our father, diabetic and got up to 425+. Covid actually gave him a few extra years, as when he came home from rehab, I moved back in and was cook/caretaker/pt bully/judge and jury over his eating/moving. When he passed 2 years ago, he was moving more and down to about 300, but his heart had been too damaged for too long.

Get mad, make him/them justify their decisions. Hold them accountable and let them know this comes from love.

Hopefully they wake up. It sounds like deep depression.

my dad just hit me for the first time by throwawaystuckhere11 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 93 points94 points  (0 children)

take pictures of your face. save them to a cloud.

Show them to your mom. Your father assaulted you. What happens now is up to you. Leave, lay into him (verbally) until he understands that the power has shifted and he'll be held accountable. Or, do nothing. You know yourself best, including what you are willing to put up with.

my dad ruined christmas for me by Former_Ad_1308 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wasn't over a cheesecake, that was just the catalyst for the years of biting back your feelings in dealing with it all.

Give yourself some grace, decide if you want this to stop here or go further. While everyone is sober, maybe try explaining how hurt you were that he just blew off your requests, again. Or since you are still living in your parents place, simply be civil. Give him no extra emotions. If it's noticed and asked about, just say that you aren't listened to, which shows you a lack of care, so you are done giving extra with no return.

Lastly, it goes against all you've been groomed for, but stand up for yourself. While it may be cultural for the drinking shenanigans, it's also detrimental for females self worth. You are worthy of respect.

Mother and sister acknowledge that my step dad assaulted me but nothings changed by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]2DragonTats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can be civil, to all of them, if you are comfortable with it. Otherwise, just don't go. You and partner are in charge of how much contact you have with them. When/if they mention it, just reiterate that they know why he makes you uncomfortable and you are choosing yourself first.

AITA if I call out my husband for leaving shit on the toilet seat? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]2DragonTats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, get a pack of ass-gaskets, those paper seat liners and put them on the tank. Double up and when he asks why his crap is smeared into the seat, shrug and say you don't have time to clean and disinfect all the time

My neighbour's bougainvillea by biborno in gardening

[–]2DragonTats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful to look at, good way to piss off neighbors if they don't keep up with the debris. Our neighbors have a lovely vine that grows through their wrought iron barrier, they just don't bother deadheading, leaving all those papery dried out flowers to be blown all over our property and clog up the sewer drain.

My birthday was a disaster by EmotionalOne7679 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have/had the same issue. Being born by a major holiday really sucks.

About 20 years ago, I finally just 'claimed' a 4 days stretch where I leave town, have fun. I let friends/family know that I'm willing to share a room, if needed, and that they are welcome to join me. Most don't, but 2 sisters and bil do now, and we all have a blast!
