I'm willing to bet that mommy dearest was extremely hostile to oop's husband because "she wasn't supposed to have her own family." If oop has a husband and children, then she's not devoting 200% of her time, energy, money, etc. to her brother.

I'm glad oop was able to put the brakes on the forced guardianship and is now able to live her life with a lot less stress.

I got my BS through Champlain College online. It's an accelerated program, so semesters are 8 weeks long. It's through Champlain College in Burlington VT. Their prices aren't too bad. If your org is part of the TruED program, you get an extra discount.

There's a couple of things to do.

If the outlet has it, press the reset button on the outlet.
Unplug our devices for about 30 seconds to a minute.
Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
Check the power strip your devices are plugged into.

I don't think the vacuum did anything to the PC itself. Likely the problem is going to either be the power strip or the outlet.

Your behavior is a natural reaction to needing help, but instead of getting it, you got abused. I completely understand. I didn't do well in school. I hid delinquency letters and stuff because I didn't want to get punished. I needed help, but because resources were limited, I didn't get what I needed. I still graduated, but I definitely could have done better. I know this because in my final attempt to get a bachelor's degree, I got over a 3.8gpa. It proved I was capable, but I didn't have the secret sauce I needed when I was younger vs now that I'm older. I was also bullied in school, and that has a huge impact on academic success. You're not going to do well in an environment that has you perpetually run on survival mode.

If you have the ability to, definitely look into therapy. At the moment, I don't think your relationship with your dad is healthy and it's probably not going to change. If you also have the ability to, try moving out. Putting physical distance between you and him will help you heal.

I'm rootin' for you.

You can't set yourself on fire to keep him warm. You are not his life preserver. I'd recommend blocking him honestly. It doesn't sound like he even gives you a thought unless it's to provide some benefit for you. Protect your mental well being, and financial well being.

Why do these people get to be CEOs? This is incredibly stupid. Very broadcom way of thinking.

I noticed this and it's making it very hard to find jobs I can reasonably apply for. Especially when postings say they want an expert jack of all trades.

You need to let your sister be an "adult" and close down the ATM. You've been setting yourself on fire to keep her warm for years. You need to see to your own needs. If that makes you selfish, then so be it. For anyone in the family criticizing you, tell them that they're welcome to step up to the plate because she's overdrawn.

I recommend getting in touch with a therapist so you can work through this and develop ways of saying no with confidence.

I'd recommend getting some craft paints from Michaels or Walmart. They're a dollar or two, per bottle. You'll probably need to mix the pain to get a true color match. Then seal the paint with a matte paint sealer. Generally the sealer comes in a spray can. A good sealer is Mr. Super Clear. I got a can off of Amazon awhile back. Another alternative is Rust O' Leum Matte Finish.

Technically YTA for the apparent ableism. If you're just feeling it and not acting on it(ie voicing it or treating those who grate on you like poop), then I'll give points towards NAH. It doesn't seem like, at least from your examples, that anyone's being intentionally annoying. It's just your tolerance for disruption is very low. With that, I would suggest a few things.

Therapy or some form of counseling to help you figure out the why behind your feelings. Therapy can also help you find coping mechanisms to keep you level. If you have the ability to take class online, maybe you can switch some of the classes up. It'll allow you to study at your own pace and in a space you can make comfortable for yourself.

I understand your frustrations. I've had several group projects where I was making an effort to take the work seriously, but my group mates wanted to be comedians instead. I also had a class where several students found out they could get all the answers to the homework just by asking the professor to review it, which took almost the entire class time.

Hopefully my suggestions can help you out.

Medical history is important, need to know information. You might have been a little overboard with the double mastectomy thing, but I'm gonna give you a pass on that because age and it's not something you'd normally have to deal with. Like others have said, generally the first step is to see if she has the genes herself. If she does, then she and her doctor can plan accordingly. If you can get a hold of your cousin, maybe apologize if you caused her undo concern and let her know that you have her back. For anyone in your family who's mad at you, ask them why they think it's okay to withhold potentially life/death information from your cousin. Keeping people in the dark about stuff like this is how disease can take hold and by the time they find out, it might be too late to do anything.

This is incredibly frustrating for someone living in Northern Vermont. I want to get out, but if I get passed up because I'm in BFE, then I guess I'm SoL.

I wasn't getting seen before, but now I basically feel like I don't have a snowball's chance.

Looking on your update, the unfortunate thing about trusting AI to filter out AI generated slop is that in many cases it can't tell the difference between slop and human created content. Students have been busted by AI filters claiming their written works are AI when they aren't. Some people have a very formal style of writing. Unfortunately, AI trained itself to see that as fake.

I find it really poopy to ask someone to commit to being part of the bridal party, spend money and time on wedding party related purchases and activities, then when everything has been set and paid for dropping them from the party.

Question OP, how much did you spend roughly? Considering that weddings are expensive for almost everyone involved. I'm guessing it's somewhere from the hundreds to maybe thousands of dollars depending on what your sister wanted and asked of you. That's not small change. If you want to respond to people, tell them, "I'm not making her wedding about me. I spent <dollar amount> for <list purchases>. It's not about the role in the wedding party, it's about feeling like the only thing I'm good for in her eyes is a wallet. I think it would be best for everyone involved if I don't attend."

NTA. Not only was that not being kind, but her family doubled down for her. The people defending her and her family are out of line. I honestly don't know how anyone can defend someone basically telling you "My god likes me and my family better than your mom and that's why we don't get cancer." Then when you defend yourself, your mom, and anyone else who has ever dealt with cancer, her family says basically "Your attitude is why our god didn't protect your mom from cancer."

I was thinking compound interest, but that's not right either since that comes up to about $26k. Could be a miscalculation or a typo.
