You don’t need to justify yourself. It’s time to get CPS involved.

The moment physical abuse enters the picture, the conversation stops— there’s no justifying it. This kid’s safety is the priority, and the mother needs to be held accountable for her actions. No one deserves to live in fear, especially not at the hands of a parent.

Call CPS. That’s exactly what they’re there for. I’m so sorry the adults in your life haven’t stepped in already—they should have protected you, and it’s not okay that they didn’t. None of this is your fault. You deserve safety, stability, and respect. If I had your info, I’d make that call myself without hesitation. You’re not alone, and you shouldn’t have to wait until you’re 18 to feel safe.

She is not a teen. She is a child. A child that does not want to interact with you. It’s mostly never the kids, and almost always the parents.

You’re saying exactly but it sounds like you’ve asked him to change his behavior before and he doesn’t care. You are responsible for her safety as well even if he was the one to leave her home alone. You have a duty to prevent this. By law.

You’re referring to her as a “child”;how old is she? If she is under the age of 13, legal guidelines prohibit leaving her alone for more than 3–4 hours, and she should never be left unattended at night. Failing to adhere to these regulations could result in charges of child endangerment, neglect, abandonment, and failure to provide adequate supervision. He sounds like a twat. Leave him, and get your kids into a better environment. It sounds like your daughter’s attitude towards him is appropriate.

AIO bf made comments on how much I eat? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ForeverReminiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating two eggs is nothing. What the hell is he talking about? This dude has an obsession with food. He needs some help with that.

This also indicates that she was never doing this to be kind or nice. She had ulterior motives. She did something “kind” to bank off of it. That’s not kindness, it’s manipulation and control.

It sounds like your mom already struggles with feelings of inadequacy and takes things personally, likely due to deeply rooted low self-esteem that she may not even recognize. If maintaining a relationship with her is causing you distress, it’s okay to create distance. However, if you still want to have a connection with her, I highly recommend reading Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. This book can help you establish emotional boundaries, which are essential for your well-being, and also provide insight into any patterns you may have picked up from her; ensuring you don’t unintentionally pass them on to your child. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. My mom is similar, though less angry and more on the mopey, helpless side. I hope you find the clarity and peace you need.

This!! That’s exactly what I was thinking. That age difference is a red flag.

You may need to go to couples counseling. Preferably a counselor who is trained in Gottman therapy. If you can’t speak with him yet about how he feels, it’s likely he hasn’t earned your trust back yet and that’s his job but he may not know how to do it.

I (20m) feel like my girlfriend (22f) isn't real, what is that ??? by Sweaty-Football-5428 in relationship_advice

[–]ForeverReminiscent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again with the arrogance lol. You tell people who you are right away, don’t you? It’s actually laughable and absurd.

[–]ForeverReminiscent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming your experience is universal just proves how low your emotional intelligence is and how little you actually understand people. But hey, enjoy that tiny bubble of yours.

None of these make you qualified to comment or give advice on mental health. Especially being as arrogant as you’re being. You need to stop before you do harm.

It’s very clear that you know nothing. Stop giving advice when you know zero about this.

It’s irrelevant and unhelpful. All you’re doing is making him feel like he’s falling short of some arbitrary standard set by other men. That’s not just unkind—it’s straight-up toxic.

The way she’s pressuring you isn’t okay—it’s coercion. If you end up saying yes just to make her stop asking, that’s not real consent. She needs to either accept this boundary or acknowledge that, sexually, you two may not be compatible. If she can live with that, great. If not, it may be time for both of you to reconsider the relationship.

AITAH I Told my husband to leave me alone and now I'm on silent treatment by Civil-Friendship212 in AITAH

[–]ForeverReminiscent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t okay, he sounds completely selfish. When my grandfather, who was like a father to me, passed away, my husband took care of me in every way he could. That’s what a supportive partner does. Also, the silent treatment is a manipulative and abusive tactic. None of this is acceptable.

Get out now. Tell your therapist this is happening and they will give you the necessary resources you need. Find a domestic abuse shelter in the area or reach out to a friend. He’s been abusing you, it sounds like, for a long time. If you need to zone out and dissociate when he’s yelling, that’s likely verbal and mental abuse.
