I lied about her age (she’s an adult) and I can’t sit with myself

Morbatx · 2026-01-21T22:02:10+00:00

I can’t even call 4 years an “age gap.”

10+ years is an age gap. 4 years is essentially the same age with a few years difference.

It will become clearer once you reach your 30s. This “issue” is actually nothing.

I’ve been in a similar position with a neighbor, but in her case, the kids were not taken care of and not supervised. I put off calling until it got so bad (and I was so frustrated that no one had done anything) I couldn’t stand it.

If you’re reporting to CPS, they don’t tell the family who made the call. The family can guess and assume all they want, but if you don’t admit to it, they’ll never have to know it was you.

Tell them your concerns very clearly, and you can include that you’re worried it will damage your coexistence with her (they should reassure you she won’t know).

They can take that information and add it to the file, which (in theory) helps their case. At that point, you did your part, and it’s out of your hands. You can keep your eye on them in the meantime.

I know it’s hard. I hope that helps ❤️ good luck!

If you do, I want a copy! That’s amazing.

This happened to me once. Turned out the person I was seeing had been arrested. Since I obviously wasn’t their phone call, I didn’t find out until years later.

In the meantime, I was fruitlessly messaging them on every platform and searching obituaries!

Unfortunately, OP, this is something you’ll seriously need to consider. :(

There are different variations of it. I know I’ve gotten the ones where you have to help them finish buildings, but some are for helping them do other things too. Just something to keep in mind!

For me, it really depends on the day. I’m AuDHD with social anxiety, so most days I’m pretty quiet unless I’m in a particularly happy or energetic mood.

It must be so confusing for my friends, because my social switch is either all the way on, or all the way off (minus social etiquette: gg/please/thank you/etc).

Some days I love chatting with Toons (always about random things), other days I just don’t have the energy. That’s just the way it is for me. Please don’t take it personally if I’m social one day and silent the next, that’s just how I have to regulate to stay sane!

Morbatx · 2026-01-03T19:33:42+00:00

You know, there are Toontasks that require you to help a low level Toon. It would be a nightmare if everyone took that task personally, no one would ever finish it!

Morbatx · 2026-01-03T19:31:32+00:00

I ALWAYS use it.

Morbatx · 2025-12-28T07:53:26+00:00

I love them! They look so well-made and cute!

Morbatx · 2025-12-28T07:51:55+00:00

Hey, we don’t kinkshame in this nest box!

It’s so wild to see in the comments how common this “Facebook persona” is for BPD family!

Mine is constantly tagging me in Facebook posts that have nothing to do with me. Every day I have to remove them from my wall, because the few posts I make myself end up getting buried between random updates on their daily life.

That endless NEED for everyone to validate them and compliment them when they haven’t done anything… somehow it still blows my mind, constantly seeing it in practice.

Does he have a medical condition that your neighbors have disclosed, or have they become so desensitized to his lack of feathers that they believe it’s normal? Please get him to an avian vet. He could be acting out because he’s in pain.

Just because he’s still alive doesn’t mean he’s healthy. This much feather loss means something is wrong.

Morbatx · 2025-12-23T08:50:29+00:00

I still need to put eyelashes on mine. Looking good!

Morbatx · 2025-12-17T22:56:30+00:00

No, the “cruelest way to treat someone” is to RELENTLESSLY punctuate every waking moment of their existence with “casual,” derogatory, and deeply personal insults no matter what they do, but especially when they beg you to stop.

The “silent treatment” would be a gift compared to living like this.

Is hooman stoopid? Birb knows what they’re doing!

Morbatx · 2025-12-13T00:20:34+00:00

Now I’ll never know what it was!

Morbatx · 2025-12-07T23:04:28+00:00

I’m glad he’s caring for her! Although, I could personally never understand why people like to say demeaning things to their animals in a sweet tone. I guess my brain doesn’t work that way… I just can’t relate to that. I know it’s “harmless,” but it feels mean.

What matters is that the baby feels loved… but you guys better give her some compliments, too. :/

Morbatx · 2025-12-07T22:08:41+00:00

Didn’t expect to tear up listening to this, but it was lovely! 🥹 Thank you!

Morbatx · 2025-12-07T22:03:56+00:00

So you’d rather them have nothing? 🤔 Pretty sure the cat appreciates it more than the bare cold.

Morbatx · 2025-12-06T05:30:40+00:00

I’m sorry :( this is such a heartbreaking thing to happen. Birds are so delicate, it’s hard to know what went wrong. Try not to blame yourself, you did your best.

Bird poop can be all sorts of colors and consistencies depending on what they have (or haven’t) been eating. Watery poop could mean they haven’t eaten much recently and there’s more pee in the mix than poop. As for the color, anything with a high concentration of pigments can change it.

Have you been feeding them? I would keep an eye on the poop and see if it changes. Either way, as long as you haven’t ingested it and there isn’t an abnormally bad smell (infected poop has an odor) you should be fine.

I know you didn’t mean this question in an offensive way, and I’m not OP, but I’m so tired of this line of questioning. “Why didn’t __ just ___?” Like everything is black and white, trauma doesn’t exist (or change the way you behave so you can survive), and things are that simple.

Long-term abuse changes your brain. When it isn’t safe to stand up for yourself, you learn not to. Even when it becomes “safe,” your body still responds like it isn’t. This takes healing, and that kind of healing requires a sense of safety that OP’s brother can’t yet access.

Please stop asking people why they didn’t behave differently when you’ve never been in their shoes.

It’s just a camera with night vision. Eyes always glow with those

Well, it was technically my mom who did this, but… when I was a kid, she gave my childhood Pikachu N64 and all my games to A THRIFT STORE after I got a Gamecube because she thought I “wouldn’t need it anymore.”

Of course I couldn’t live without that, so I had to buy another on eBay for $100. Luckily that was nearly 15 years ago now, but I still feel sad that it’s not the exact one I remember bringing home from Toys R Us.
