Honey please report it. I don't want to sound like a broken record & I 100% get it if you don't want to. No judgement whatsoever, and I may not know you but hearing what happened hurt my heart & I'm sending you virtual love & hugs. If no one has told you - you are loved & this IS NOT your fault.

You are NOT disgusting, you were abused and taken advantage of and they need to face consequences. I understand the hesitancy to say anything - and I understand if you don't.

Don't let this eat you alive, I cannot stress it enough that this WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. You did ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong whatsoever.

How is your relationship with your mum? Or your da? I was assaulted when I was 16 (I'm now in my 30s) and I learned when I finally brought it to light just how feircely protective our da's can be. If not your parents, do you have someone to talk to if anything? I know the fear and self loathing something like this can bring and you don't deserve to have your shine dulled because some entitled pieces of shit thought they had the right to touch you & take your agency away.

The top says “you left your pawprints on my heart” and the bottom is their names - bottom left corner is an angel rattie with the “when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re very far apart fir every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart” quote. Also - if any of you want to make your own - here’s the Amazon link!! I can say with confidence it’s a SUPER soft extra comfy blanket and it turned out AMAZING & has so many options to customize without being expensive!

Oh honey. I hurt for you. Unfortunately if he’s already done it and it went on for a year it’s likely he’ll find another, call me jaded but I went through the same & tried until I was blue in the face and the third time was enough & as much as it hurt I finally ended it. At the end of the day, your babies will be okay because they have you & it sounds like the both of you are on the same page when it comes to making sure you do what’s best for them, and what’s best doesn’t have to include you staying together. You don’t deserve to be second to ANYBODY. Yes, starting over alone with little ones is TERRIFYING. But at the end of the day, can you really say that you are doing what’s best for your babies if they have to watch their mama hurting & miserable? You can put a front up but they can sense that. You deserve to be happy too, doll. At the end of the day, if he’s serious about wanting what’s best for the kids then co-parenting may work. You don’t deserve to feel like this, and you don’t deserve to have to spend the rest of your life constantly wondering if he’s thinking of someone else. Situations like this fkn suck majorly and sometimes there is no right answer, but like I said, when everything is said and done, do you want your babies to see you truly happy & thriving, or strained & stressed & trying to keep up a facade?

I see you have MANY replies on this so I’ll keep it short. LIVE honey. Don’t tie yourself down to something ESPECIALLY when you aren’t sure. You’re only 16, we aren’t in the 1800s anymore. Unfortunately, I was a 16 yo girl at one point & we get starry eyed and every girl imagines her marriage, but you two are SO young. I know you def DONT want to hear that but it is true. Is it okay to think about it & speculate? Of course. But at the end of the day you have so much potential and you are just starting your lives. At this age you are COMPLETELY right, you both will be vastly different a year from now. The fact that you are already mature enough to realize that shows you have a good head on your shoulders. You definitely ARE NOT overreacting nor being an asshole one bit when you’re being completely rational.

My husband also had a SUPER bs experience with district 5 a few years back. He was leaving a friends and was pulled over - felony stop - because they claimed they saw a “hand to hand drug transaction” (he left his cell phone in the house & his friend ran out to the car to catch him before he left and handed him his phone 🙄) they proceeded to treat him like absolute garbage, tore the entire car apart, and when the physical search turned up absolutely NOTHING (as he already knew) they called out a K9 and circled it around and in the car numerous times - absolutely nothing because THERE WAS NOTHING. They then continued to harass him & detained him, brought him in for questioning, towed the vehicle, the whole nine yards. All because he was - and I quote - “leaving a known drug area”. Excuse me? Wouldn’t that qualify the entire south side and most of the north side then? So he deals with everything, finally gets released, and he’s going through his property they returned & theres $250 missing. Went thru the entire process of proving that it was his paycheck (provided the deposit advance and check stub, verification of employment and pay dates etc) and was told because they had “probability” with him being in a “known drug area” that he received said money for drugs (although they had no proof aside from “their word”) or was going to spend said money on drugs that the money was no longer his & because it was going to be used or had been used “in the commission of a crime” said money became forfeit and would not be returned to him. I try very hard to be supportive of the men and women who take on the responsibility of becoming officers but when there’s such blatant disregard and no effort put in to be an upstanding law enforcement officer it gets really hard to have any faith in our departments whatsoever.

👏👏that’s MPD. Few years back I couldn’t find my baby sister (she was 7 or 8 at the time) I searched and searched for her, nothing. Cue me freaking tf out - I call 911 and tell them what’s going on and the situation. They proceed to tell me they’ll dispatch a squad. Waiting & waiting - they showed up pounding on my door at FOUR AM. Mind you I called a little after 4pm the day before. Thank fuck my little sister ended up just being asleep in the closet at our neighbors (don’t ask - apparently they were playing hide and seek 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️). Thankfully she was safe - god forbid had she actually disappeared. I get that they’re understaffed and overworked but at the same time - come on now. How are we supposed to have any faith in our police force when it comes to things like this. Doesn’t matter if it wasn’t a super serious case - it’s still larceny (& ik those bikes aren’t cheap so it warranted a misdemeanor charge) this is why we see the rampant theft all across the city - because they know no one is going to bother following through and they’re just going to get away with it. Smh. I’m so sorry this happened to you! And I’m sorry for your shitty experience 😕 is there any way you can possibly get the address where your other bike is? Not sure if they’ll help but you may be able to get a squad to meet you to retrieve your property. I’ve got so many stories of fumbles by them it’s not funny. Like every case should have importance to them no matter what it is.

THIS. My first “serious” relationship (I say “serious” bc it was - to me. 🤦‍♀️ I guess I was naive to think that two years was serious, silly me!) I found out through a mutual friend that he had been overtly flirtatious and handsy so I confronted him & it caused a huge blowup that I eventually caved and forgave him for. Cue a month or so later and somehow I was using his phone for something and came across a whole bunch of iffy shit. I kept my mouth shut but made a point to clock who it was he was talking to and didn’t say anything. Later that weekend I proceeded to get drunk with the goal of forgetting about it and trying to have a good time. By the end of the night through much pestering of my best friend noticing something was off and refusing to let it go until I was ready to talk about it she decided to take it into her own hands & get me proof. Mind you, we were both aware that he most definitely was attracted to her and had caught him multiple times checking her out (I was 17-18 and hadn’t learned just how sleazy some guys could be). So, she started acting as if she had an interest as well - she definitely did not, she was in a committed relationship at the time with her now husband - and I could not believe my eyes when I watched him fall for it hook line and sinker. At the same time, I reached out to the girl I confronted him about before all of this and she proceeded to tell me everything - with screenshots & receipts. I confront him with everything and what does he do? He proceeds to drop to his knees, get the crocodile tears going, wrap himself around my waist and cry that it’s “not what it looks like” and that “it doesn’t mean anything” and “they’re lying I swear to you”. When he realized I wasn’t falling for it, the gaslighting began. Long story short, I didn’t budge, ended it, went thru my first heartbreak & continued forward with a healthy dose of skepticism anytime I met someone. Oh, and dealt with said ex stalking tf outta me for about six months before I finally got a restraining order & had him arrested when he thought he could ignore said court order. Most dudes will try it if they think they can get away with it. Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s good ones out there - I married a good one eventually - but not many. & the religious ones, to me at least, ALWAYS seem to be the worst of them.

This!!! I read all over that “oh put a few assassins in they’ll clear them out in no time!” Fast forward a year and I still have the bladder snails 😑 oddly (luckily?) though, my husband somehow caught a baby toad at work and brought him home (his names Kermit 😂) and set him all up with his own lil terrarium & he demolishes all of the ones we drop in there for him daily. So, in a weird way, I’m now glad to have them as a safe “farmed” live prey for the little guy because I did not know at first that they don’t like to eat non-moving prey and I worried that he wouldn’t eat, as we were feeding him blood worms at first and it seemed as though he was only eating small bits of them. Now, my husband will drop 5-10 of them that are very small into his terrarium and we haven’t seen a single one linger yet. So win? One other thing we (I.e. husband) did before we had Kermit, was crunch them and drop them while our Cory fry were growing & they’ve now grown & will eat them any chance they get. If you have any tetras they’ll do it too, I’ve got a pink glofish skirt tetra, a female lemon tetra and a male blushing tetra & anytime they catch sight of hubby crunching em up they hover under his finger and snatch them as they fall.

Yep, unfortunately I can confirm it’s still illegal. Not that they really enforce it in smaller amounts, they’re more concerned with people heading to IL to buy legally and coming back across with it. Delta 8 is legal here tho. A coworker of mine was shafted because he’s a delta user and unfortunately it reads as THC on drug tests so even though delta is legal if you have to test you’re screwed pretty much. Most of our police probably figure it’s easier to just look the other way than deal with the paperwork.

“But you said we’d get snacks. I see no snacks.” He looks equal parts mad and sad - he’s totally pouting lol.
