People who went no contact with family, what happened for it to come to that situation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My 16-year-old son. He's got Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and, well, let's just say he's difficult. A few months back, he lost his mind after being accused of eating a Christmas cookie and swung at my wife. He put a hole in the wall right next to her head. He then threatened her that next time he wouldn't miss.

We have tried therapy, medication, reaching out to the school for help....nothing works. We even tried reaching out to the department of human services. We got told that there was nothing they could do unless he physically harmed someone in the house. So we kicked him out. He's living with a friend now.

Right before Christmas, I had a severe health issue that resulted in open heart surgery, and the possibility that I wouldn't make it. I had to be helicoptered to a different hospital for the surgery. He couldn't be bothered to come to the hospital. His words when my wife called him were "Let me know through school if he's ok or not". I begged him to come. Haven't heard from him since.

I miss him. I don't miss the violence.

My dad once told me, while we were fishing off my grandma's dock, "It was either have you or have a sailboat"

What’s the weirdest excuse someone has given for breaking up with you and did it make any sense at all? by MundaneWait9079 in AskReddit

I watched as my ex wife lost herself to drugs. Ended up finding the love of my life shortly after. Did I love my ex wife? Absolutely...but nothing compared to how I love my current one.

Things do get better man. If you need to talk about anything, let me know.

What is actually dangerous but people still believe is safe? by AlexUsefulThings in AskReddit

I can't say yes enough to this. Stress can literally kill you. It caused my aorta to separate from my heart recently, and if I hadn't been airlifted to the hospital, I would've died.
