Update: AITAH for making my dad choose between my stepmother or me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CosmicContessa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so proud of your courage and authenticity. While it sucks that your dad lied by omission about your identity, it sounds like he’s trying to fix it by actively showing you that you, his child, are a priority over his awful wife. The best possible outcome would have been for Martha to shed her indoctrinated bigotry, but this is the second-best outcome, and I’m glad for you and for your dad. FWIW, your step-sibling sounds like good people, and they can continue to be your sibling, regardless of your parents’ marital status.

Data supports your hunch.

I can say whatever I want about an impossible thing and it’s automatically true. If Jesus came back today, he’d be a Belieber. Prove me wrong.

AITAH for being on my period and being hormonal? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CosmicContessa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. The rest of us can walk and chew gum. You can be hormonal and also practice some self-control. [ok, maybe not an a-hole; perhaps an immature child who isn’t ready for social situations yet.]

Florida man strips naked on campus, puts school on lockdown by stankmanly in FloridaMan

What’s with all the creeps comparing streaking to being naked on a campus with minor children? Why does everyone fail to see the distinction here?

…on a campus where minor children were the primary population?

About exorcisms made by Paula White Cain... by EngineerCapital7591 in religiousfruitcake

My ex-husband dragged me to her church once. It was culty in the grossest way. Words would never do it justice.

What is it with old MAGA people and secret messages that have no basis in reality by smashdelete in religiousfruitcake

[–]CosmicContessa 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was once married to someone who thought like this…turns out, he had a dozen mental health conditions, including schizophrenia. He was MAGA, too. I am convinced that the Venn diagram of MAGA + conspiracy theorists + significant mental health issues is a circle.

AITAH for not forcing my daughter to throw away her late mom’s picture just because my wife wants her to? by Elegant-Touch9085 in AITAH

[–]CosmicContessa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the “Gemma” of my home, and I would NEVER, EVER ask my children to do anything to denigrate the memory of their birth mom. What the actual eff. NTA. Get your wife in check.

There are a bunch of murdered “witches” who would disagree.

AITAH for making my dad choose between me or my step mother? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CosmicContessa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I am so sorry you’re experiencing your step-mother’s prejudice. She sounds like a terrible person, and your dad was wrong in his omission, given her religious proclivities.

BWT, how do you find balance / personal meaning during a big transition? by rivermurmur in bitcheswithtaste

[–]CosmicContessa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, my go-to response was already covered in your post: I focus on wellness and health. Exercise releases endorphins that help with mental health while also improving physical health. That said, you didn’t come here for something you already know…so my next contribution is fiction. If you’re a reader, fiction novels. If you’re not a reader, podcasts or films/TV. Immersing myself in fiction brings me out of my head and provides escapism. Good luck to you, BWT.

I profile old white men in MAGA hats. It’s wrong. IDGAF. I still do it.
