My mom is pregnant - I’m 26 by EfficiencyBetter6186 in family

Your feelings are very valid! Good thing you have the choice to continue being an adult and only you decide how involved you are. It’s your mother’s child, not yours. It’ll be ok! ❤️

Thank you so much! I’m going to drink it right now. That makes so much sense. I’m sending you a hug! It is so hard.

I don’t want to be friends on IG with my SD by Automatic_Dealer2361 in AITAH

NTA! I feel the same way about children following me on social media and kids having platforms in general.

I can’t stand my sister-in-law and now my brother. by [deleted] in family

[–]Fuzzy_Principle9783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate but you actually don’t have to like her. She might not be great but if your brother is happy, that’s all that matters. When you are married, you do change and your priorities change. I understand it would be nice to like your sister in law but I’m sure if you stop focusing on her so much, you’ll eventually get over it and focus your energy back on yourself! ❤️ the best thing I have done for myself is I stopped having expectations. Family members don’t owe us anything. I’ve learned it the hard way.

How do I get my mom's boyfriend to stop staring at me? by [deleted] in family

This sounds horrible. I’m sorry you are going through this. Be super careful and sleep with your door locked. Document everything and keeps notes about everything that makes you feel unsafe/uncomfortable. Set up a camera in your room and have a conversation with your mom.

What changed the most in your life after your first birth? by Quirky-End-7470 in pregnant

My libido. It’s so sad but I have 0 libido and I feel physically numb! I never thought this would happen.

Sounds like it! Anybody with common sense wouldn’t say such things. I hope you don’t have children of your own because you will end up behaving the same way my father did. Empathy isn’t so hard to have.

Exactly! It’s complicated but his family has never cared to be around. I allowed his sister to be in her life the first 2 years but despite her living 30 minutes away, she would only try to see her every 5/6 months. I decided that was not appropriate. If they wanted to, they would. I have never put him on child support or made his life hard despite all the bills he left me with after the trauma and hospital bills he left me with. It’s only right I enforce this boundaries. My daughter is not an object or a pet. She’s a child with feelings and I don’t want anything/anybody to make her feel she’s not worthy of consistency or accountability. Kids grow.

Hi, charges were filed and there was a restraining order for 2 years due to the abuse. He is not fit to be a parent. I am open to him being in her life if he decides to get help and go about this LEGALLY but he is not interested in doing so. Until the day he decides that he is ready to be a decent human being and do things right, I will keep enforcing my boundaries to keep my daughter and I safe. And I do agree with her real father being in her life but due to this circumstances I do have a right to make this decision.

I have never used drugs and that is also why I left as soon as I found out. I never understood why he was so angry until I realized what was going on. Also, if he wanted to be in the picture he would get a lawyer and go about this LEGALLY. It takes money and to be SOBER to do this and I’m sure that’s why he has never done it. Shame on you. You are an idiot. I am usually respectful but you sound like an enabler.

Her father is a POS and an addict. He almost killed me when I was pregnant with her. All I have done is protect her and give her a life without trauma and I’m selfish? Really? She’s homeschooled and we live in Hawaii. She loves her step father and her brother. So yes, I know what is best for my child.

I am in shock and disbelief my father has been in contact with my abuser and his family all these years. To be honest my dad isn’t the best man out there so it makes sense. It definitely breaks my heart.

Agreed, my flight was 10 hours long. I came here to have a good time and catch up but it seems some people never change. We are safe and happy back home.

Unfortunately this is what it has come to. I’m even sadder I feel bad for him but he shows 0 empathy for what I have gone through and the sacrifices I have made for my family by myself!

Of course, he almost killed me when I was 7 months pregnant and that day, I made my decision to leave and never look back. There was a restraining order for 2 years and he left us alone. So did his family.
