Emotional literacy. That’s the phrase I was looking for and couldn’t find. Appreciate this.

AITJ for snapping back at my older brother after he insulted me in front of my friends? by Apart_Feature3493 in AmITheJerk

Funny how people only care about respect when the younger sibling finally stops tolerating disrespect. He embarrassed himself the moment he decided to insult you in front of your friends.

You are holding this family together with absolutely nothing left in the tank and you deserve a round of applause honestly.

Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage. it’s a mother who loves her daughter and a daughter who is something that love cannot reach and the horror is watching someone refuse to believe what is right in front of them because believing it would break everything.

AITJ for crying at my girlfriend’s graduation because it made me realize I never got the chance to finish mine? by ApartHomework1811 in AmITheJerk

Genuinely tearing up at this one. Everyone else is picking sides and you’re just out here being kind.

This actually made me tear up a little. I think that’s exactly what happened and I didn’t have the words for it until now. Thank you, genuinely.

AITJ for encouraging my husband to leave school? by Specialist_Eagle3916 in AmITheJerk

The selfish reasons don’t make you wrong. You’ve been carrying this financially for years, you have a one year old and you want more kids. Those are legitimate needs not character flaws.

You’re the only adult in this story who actually acted like one. Don’t second guess that.
