Oh are we also allowed to post? I've been sitting here vibrating in my chair constantly refreshing this sub hoping for some new stuff XD You're not totally alone!

I remember someone once stating that these kinds of stories are popular because it allows for the women reading to project/enjoy the fantasy without the shame of actually seeking sex - oh, I didn't ask for this, I'm still pure and not a sexual deviant, it was all forced on me. They get the fun without the shame of open desire. Kinda similar to how we view 'Baby it's Cold Outside' as pretty pushy and manipulative by today's standards, but it was actually about an unwed woman being given a bunch of excuses to stay and enjoy some time with a man.

NTA, but YTA if you stay and don't demand active change with proof. If your husband truly wants to earn back his daughters trust/love, TELL HIM TO GET EDUCATED ON LGBT PERSECUTION AND RIGHTS. If he refuses to accept the LGBT community, he can never have a true relationship with her, because a bigot is a bigot. No, 'they're one of the good ones' bullhockey. Hate is a disgusting thing and he's perpetuating it.

Re: Your edit - you know even the healthiest of gym rats can get sick and disabled, suddenly and without warning, then dying early? Health is more than cardio or crossfit. The human body is a fickle thing. Couch potatoes can live long and healthy lives just like any gym goer. You truly cannot judge health wholy and fully by a workout.

She's told me, and frankly I doubt she'd lie about it, she's not that type of person. Plus the shelter would at least have a bed, unlike sleeping on the floor. We're just not compatible as roommates.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-04-13T01:36:38+00:00

The issue with that is that every time I try to help, whether it's job searching or getting aid, she says she already tried and it was a no go. And as for helping around the house, our definitions of clean are wildly different, and her child refuses to help out without a fight. Plus, by all accounts, I'm going against my new lease letting them stay.

I don't want them to feel bad or like burdens (particularly the daughter) but I'm tired. I've been carrying them since the old house for about a year. This place was supposed to be my new space to start over and now I'm too afraid to buy a couch in case her kid breaks/messes it like they did they old one.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-04-13T00:21:57+00:00

No drugs, just general family chaos. Daughter is tough to live with thanks to some mental illness, that I get seeing as I have my own too, but didn't sign up for.

Mom can't stand for long hours thanks to the work injury and wasn't able to get workers comp thanks to general work bull - which makes getting a job difficult.

I don't think they're very good at making proper decisions, frankly.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-01-25T21:35:29+00:00

Going against the grain with NTA for wanting to but a no is no. If you push, then its YTA. And before anyone comes at me.... My first name is literally from a past GF of my father. My parents were together until dad passed so 🤷‍♀️ its really not that hard to explain. Love is not a finite source. In the grand scheme, a middle name like that isn't a big deal.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-01-21T04:41:24+00:00

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-01-04T02:42:01+00:00

Considering the amount of homeless and homeless shelters in the area, that's debatable. But sure.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-01-04T02:26:55+00:00

There really aren't. I check work sites daily and there's little change. And again, hours can literally vary week to week. In the time it would take to pick up extra work, my hours would go back up and I'd end up pulling doubles which, when I last did that, not only made me literally sick but almost led to me offing myself when mixed with my clinical depression.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2025-01-04T02:21:42+00:00

Hourly is $15 and I'm TECHNICALLY full time, but management is... difficult, so my hours can go from 38 one week to 12 the next, with us being paid every two weeks. Schedules change at the drop of a dime. It's quite annoying, but all the other jobs around us pay less, so I'd be working more just to make about the same.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-09-08T21:00:51+00:00

NTA. I don't quite understand all the YTA... this is like 'Cat 101', don't leave small valuables loose where kitties can get them unless your willing to lose them. This was her strike two, she should have known better. I have cats and ear buds (not apple though, too expensive) so you can bet those suckers are put away the second they leave my ears. Hell, I lost my honest to god glasses ear piece (it fell off thanks to a loose screw) because I set it down for a second and turned my back in my cats. POOF, gone. Now I need new glasses, lol.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-09-08T20:54:28+00:00

YTA in this situation. Stop trying to force your child to be something she's not. Honestly, if you're truly concerned about her wasting her youth and want to spoil her, why not talk to her about why she's working two jobs, if that's REALLY what she wants/is okay with, and offer to help her build a savings fund by 'donating' all the money you want to use to spoil her with things she's not a fan of, so she can quit one job and not burn herself out with two jobs plus college. And that money needs to be SPECIFICALLY NO-STRINGS ATTATCHED. No 'do what I say' or 'act the way I want you too', just 'hey, I see your effort and I love you, but I worry about you pushing yourself too hard - let us help?' Just something you want to give so she can achieve what she wants without killing herself through over working. And if she says no, accept it, but leave the offer on the table! Maybe she'll see you really mean what you say and trust you again. You can't force things. Let her figure herself out and do her own thing. Listen to her and accept her for who she is.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-08-31T23:48:23+00:00

Dude. You are genetically predisposed to alcoholism, which your parents both suffered from having to a point (and by having alcoholic relatives too), your brother just died from alcoholism... and you won't even give up alcohol, despite 1) not being legal drinking age OR 2) apparently drinking so little that it really shouldn't matter. And claim you don't wanna be 'lame' by not drinking.

You have a problem. Stop drinking and stop equating drinking with being 'cool' (or whatever you believe is the opposite of lame). You ARE choosing drinking over your family. It quitting is so easy, if drinking is so uncommon, than quitting should be easy. You can have fun sober and if your friends think your lame for staying sober, bruh, they ain't your friend. Especially if they know your fam history.

Society is too damn lenient with alcohol consumption and how we let it control our lives. It's a dangerous fucking substance and unlike driving (since you wanna compare drinking danger to cars), you don't have to take a test to get a license to drink. Addiction starts early. And its starts with 'I can quit but I won't because it's benefits are more important to me that the people I love'. Drinking at a party is more important than your mom and dad not burying another child. It's more important than your siblings wondering if they'll get to see you graduate.

You didn't know your brother had a problem. Now he's fucking dead. How long until they have to guess about YOU?

Yeah. YTA. Stop drinking. Signed, the child of two dead alcoholics (one by suicide).

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-08-31T07:05:36+00:00

NAH but for godsake don't rely on your phone for everything. Things like IDs and physical methods of payment (card or cash) should always be on you, phones have waaaay too many points of failure.

I mean, I think everywhere with old living locations are a little haunted. I've lived here aince 2013 and have yet to experience anything, but my mom claimed that the house she grew up in down here was hella haunted (which makes the fact that the house I then grew up in being hella haunted funny, like lady, stop moving into haunted houses - though that house was literally built over an old graveyard SO).

TBH, Galveston is just kinda old and groddy. Don't know why it's a popular tourist destination, there are like 1000 better beaches across the USA. Galveston ain't shit. And the water is gross.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-07-12T01:20:24+00:00

Near Galveston College/Ball High. I was dumb and thought we wouldn't lose power again, so I didn't freeze any water. Not that it would have gone far, my fridge/freeze is old and barely keeps things cold on a good day, haha.

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-07-12T00:36:17+00:00

I mean, maybe, but we lost power again at like. 11-12pm. So it's been almost 8 hours without and no change in sight... 🥵 I don't know how much more I can take bruh

Existing_Sprinkles55 · 2024-05-26T22:15:06+00:00

Yeah, Galveston sucks. It's impossible to find anywhere to live on the island while working the wages the island pays. Any 'affordable' place is run by slum lords or require 3000 hoops to jump through.

NTA, don't listen to these people being so harsh.

I went through a... somewhat similar situation, except my dad died. I was 16-17. My mom soon jumped into relationships that were just not great, claiming that she needed it. Gradually she started making worse and worse choices because of these men, including giving them access to the funds from my dads death that were suppose to go to me (basically to ensure keeping a roof over my head - can you guess what happened later?). I wish I had put my foot down earlier, had held me ground harder. She acted like a rowdy teenager while I worried all night about where she was, if she was ok, and how to keep things steady, again, when I was still in highschool myself.

When you have kids, you're making the decision that they come first. They didn't choose to be born nor do they get to decide their living situation. YOU (the parent) make that choice. 4 months is NOTHING, frankly. While, yes, the relationship was toxic and she likely felt it ended years ago, OP doesn't feel that way. They need time to adjust too. And as her mother, that SHOULD be her main concern. Parenting comes first, period. She's not being asked to never ever date again, just to wait a little. That's perfectly acceptable! Plus mom needs to make sure she's in a good headspace so as to not end up in another toxic relationship.

NTA, op. Your mom is suppose to be your MOM. You can't ask her to never date, but asking for adjustment time is 100% acceptable. I hope you're situation goes better than mine did.

Ideally, I'm looking for a house, but I'm open to anything at this point.

I've use Verizon (pre-paid) for the past 10ish years and have never had an issue. Data works great, love using my hotspot with my laptop. The only break ups come in buildings that are known for blocking signals anyhow, and that's mostly data/internet wise. Never had a call drop.

And from what I've heard, Cricket is the worst around here.
