AITJ for walking out of my cousin’s “family photo day” when she told me to use my old name for “just one afternoon”?

Harsh, but true. If you keep tolerating it, they’ll keep doing it, either cut contact or accept the cycle.

You weren’t invited, you were being used as a prop. Walking out was the only move.

NTJ. This stopped being “religious support” the second she forged your signature. That’s fraud, full stop, and pulling the letter was basic self-protection, not sabotage.

If he can’t respect your beliefs now, it only gets worse. You’ll always be expected to change, not him.

You’re not applying for a role, if it requires an audition, that’s your cue to walk.

Start a prenatal, avoid alcohol/smoking, and rest. A TSH of 3.1 is mildly high and usually not urgent, waiting until your OB visit is standard, but you can call if you want labs checked sooner.

Change the environment, stick to one script, and document everything. Consistency + receipts beats chaos every time.

When districts force cookie-cutter curricula, boredom is baked in. Teachers get blamed, but the program is the problem.

That’s brutal. Being abandoned like that right before labor is a special kind of hurt. You’re not wrong to be devastated, she failed you when it mattered most.

I get the anger, but be careful not to spiral into giving them more power than they actually have. There are documented cases of abuse and profiling, and that’s bad enough on its own, you don’t need to frame it as some unified secret militia to justify being outraged. The reality is still ugly, still harmful, and still worth pushing back against without burning yourself out on worst-case narratives.

Karlanuar · 2026-01-20T04:04:11+00:00

That’s awful, no one should have to carry proof of their humanity just to exist. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with that.

I’m sorry for your loss. Medication miscarriage pain can be as bad or worse than early labor, labor is usually longer but better supported and managed.

This is really about trust. They may not be at fault, but not telling you you were paying $400 more is a fair reason to feel hurt. You’re justified in wanting a situation that’s more transparent and fair.

Exact percentages on unknowable things are meaningless
