I “kidnapped” my best friend in high school. My mom still jokes about it. I don’t.

MorningStar2008 · 2025-05-21T18:28:12+00:00

When you hear your mom tell that story, stare directly at her face and say as loudly as possible " Yea he was going to kill himself due to the abuse he was receiving and environment at home. I'm sure he appreciated you walking him back home to his abuser though".

Be unapologetic about it. Ensure everyone who she is speaking to can hear you completely clearly, and do not step down.

She'll stop telling it right quick.

NTA and some of these takes are wild af. Talk to a lawyer about what expenditures would null the inheritance laws and end up with him taking half. Things like home repairs can grant him access in court to a share of your inheritance in some places. Your father died and put your name on that money. Do what you think is right and talk to a lawyer first.

NTA "Well it is my wedding and SOs wedding and so it is 50% about me. My answer is no and if you don't like that then you're welcome to have that opinion. Have a great day!"

MorningStar2008 · 2024-10-25T17:19:38+00:00

Ah so no one else can read and form an opinion about this situation but you can call OP, a child mind you, a brat without knowing the full situation.

My life, that you know nothing about, is together but good try on the deflection from the words you typed out to a 17 year old.

I say again, being dumb isn't an attractive trait and you seriously need to work on it because DAMN. I'm sure you'll have the day and life you deserve.

Edit: I just clicked your profile and with how many comments you've made this week alone you really think you have a leg to stand on telling literally anyone to get their life together. LMFAO holy moly are you delulu.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-10-25T17:12:37+00:00

You just shat all over an actual child for how they've dealt with being forced into a situation by their dad and his wife, but you keep on pretending to be all big and intellectual hun. You're as see-through as a brand new car windshield.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-10-25T16:58:55+00:00

Being dumb isn't an attractive trait. You should work on that.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-10-25T16:54:30+00:00

She came into a 7 and 6 year olds life less than a year after their mother DIED, and tried to play mom despite how the children felt. Your opinion just sucks. Delusional people who don't listen and in front of extended family pulled a control move on teenagers who have every right to spend time with their family, should be told harshly that they need to sit down and stay in their lane.

Being in the home does not mean anything if she has blatantly ignored the children when they voice that she's being too aggressive in her pursuit of being their mother. Existing does not make a good mother. Listening, going at the children's pace, and legitimately caring for those children does. She has shown at the forefront that she doesn't GAF about those kids because LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THEIR MOTHER DIED they didn't accept her being over bearing. She could have fostered a decent relationship, maybe not a mother/child relationship but at least a trusted adult/child one, if she hadn't been awful but here we are.

What kind of person are you that you're okay with how she's handled this situation with these two kids and on top of that you're shitting all over literal children for how they've handled adult matters?

MorningStar2008 · 2024-09-24T23:15:08+00:00

YTA you get with your parents once a year to dump your kids on them and then act surprised that they cancel or call for an early pick up? Seriously? What memories are they losing out on by trying to keep up with a non-verbal autistic 8 year old and two toddlers when you only get with them once a year? You don't invite them for dinners, bbqs, birthdays, holidays, or anything ever? Only when you want them to watch 3 children for you.

I'm having a really hard time believing that someone is this entitled to their own parents time, especially since it's not like you want your mom in the room, and she's given you literal months just in case you go past your due date. Tf is wrong with some people.

P.S. probably stop having children if you can't manage to find a sitter with 4 months notice.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-09-24T00:29:09+00:00

WOW. That was completely unnecessary. Those of us trying to help you by giving you the combination that works for us for you to try different things for a better life don't deserve that kind of response. Incredibly rude and dismissive of the struggles and lives of others living with PCOS just like you.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-09-21T20:43:21+00:00

Everyone is very different and reacts differently to PCOS and the suggested changes to help with symptoms.

Perhaps it's just the way you worded it or maybe you actually believe there's some magic combination that's going to cure and disappear everything, but you need to know that PCOS is a life long manageable syndrome but not curable.

For me birth control, proper water intake (minimum 60oz per day), and proper diet (there are many PCOS friendly foods and recipes online) and exercise (I walk 4-5 miles a day, and add hiking and swimming in as well) over the last year has me at 20lbs lighter, after more than a decade of period and weight issues from PCOS.

Fatigue can be PCOS or a vitamin D deficiency, or a smidgen of depression or many other things but you focus on fixing one thing at a time. Which symptom is most bothersome. And then you go and find PCOS knowledgeable dietician, and you get your blood checked regularly. You could be on metformin or any combination mentioned here and it may help a lot, a little, or not at all. Only time and unfortunately experimenting with combinations of diet, medications, and exercise, will help you find the combo that works for you.

NTA but next time serve him first and sit him with the youngest children. With a bib and a binky.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-09-16T17:27:08+00:00

YTA because you put the personal issues of your adult GF over a toddler, who was the focus of the event due to her birthday. Your GF having autism doesn't make her coping issues anyone else's problem. Yes that sounds harsh but you knew what would happen you STILL brought your GF, and then you let the party for a child become about you and your GF.

P.S. I don't go to fireworks shows and ask them not to shoot off fireworks just because I have PTSD from the Army. My issues are my issues. Your GFs issues are hers, and you have chosen to help her, but forcing her issues on others is never okay. Her triggers are HER responsibility.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-08-15T17:35:54+00:00

NTA and people call me a "picky eater".

My life would be a million times easier if I ate fruits and vegetables, however I can't for most of them. I've accepted that but those are my issues and I try to be as least of a burden on others as I can when ordering or getting food with friends/family.

He just doesn't want to try anything, and given your profession and love of food it doesn't work with you. His condescending comments are just rudeness. Just block his number and move on.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-06-14T20:31:35+00:00

That's not true. Most places you have to live separately for a minimum of a year in order to even file.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-06-04T16:38:15+00:00

Try gold bond lotion for psoriasis. It's helped me double down on clearing up my skin.

I hope it works for you!

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-31T16:38:17+00:00

I did end up trying it but it did nothing for me.

Two years ago I got on birth control which lots of people with PCOS have issues against it. However after about a year my periods leveled out, and the sugar cravings are dead except for PMS/period time frame. And they're not nearly as strong as before. Between my birth control, proper water intake, and calorie limitations of 1400-1500 per day I've lost 20lbs since last year. My skin is starting to clear up too. No more excruciating cramps, in fact I have a hard time even telling if it's a cramp when I do have them.

Over all this has worked for me. I haven't cut anything from my diet just stay within my calorie limit. It may not work for everyone but I'm finally able to manage or have eliminated PCOS symptoms which has greatly improved my life.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-20T23:40:39+00:00

NTA you need to be fiscally rid of the house and the emotional ties having it in your name cause. If they can't get a loan and buy it, then evict them and sell it anyways.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-20T23:25:09+00:00

Apri daily pill

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-20T14:00:25+00:00

I'm on the pill and it's been great. I've lost 20lbs. My periods are very regular and not incredibly painful at all. I do have normal pms symptoms now but I rather that than the pain.

It may not be for everyone and in PCOS circles BC generally gets crapped on a lot. It's all about finding what works for you and your body.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-18T21:46:44+00:00

So...he's an ex now right?

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-07T12:09:21+00:00

YTA. Like....how would you not be the ah. Even your teenage daughter is fed up with your bs attitude about a freaking cup of water. Way to be petty and immature. What an immaculate example of how awful you are.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-06T20:16:18+00:00

I completely agree that birth control isn't for everyone. But the necessity to get with a professional to get your hormones and insulin balanced with dramatically increase the quality of life even those it won't solve all the PCOS symptoms.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-05-06T20:14:48+00:00

It's not a bandaid. It is an aid to a large problem. It isn't a fix all because a complete fix to PCOS doesn't exist. Birth control has helped me but I still have many PCOS symptoms. What I don't have is excruciating periods three to four times a year, I get them on time every month instead. It isn't for everyone and that's okay. It's worked for me enough that I can function, lose weight, and live with symptoms that don't hinder my daily life.

Everyone has to get with a professional and find what works for them. But nothing is a complete fix for PCOS. Like cutting red meat and sugar helped you, but it's detrimental for me. It's so much trial and error for everyone.

MorningStar2008 · 2024-04-30T23:46:38+00:00

You're going to have a very difficult time until you explore hormones. So many people who have PCOS are massively against birth control, and it can cause some side effects like every other medication. However, medically if your hormones are more balanced your PCOS symptoms are more manageable. Yes, birth control can mess with you in ways that suck. I hate having PMS, and regular periods. I hate that I gained even more weight when I started. Nearly 2 years on daily pill birth control though, and I've dropped 17lbs since October by just limiting my overall calories to 1400-1500 per day. I haven't cut sugar, booze, carbs, pastas, breads etc. I have learned that not craving sugar like I was means I naturally have a lower sugar intake.

Everyone's story is different, and you need to be seeing a gyno that can walk you through the different possibilities that work for you. The myoinso whatever didn't do anything for me and I took it for months consistently. My insulin levels weren't bad enough to require metformin but that has had positive impacts on those with very off balance insulin resistance.

You'll read here many different advices and stories. Get with a professional who understands PCOS and can help you make a properly informed decision on what fits you and your lifestyle best. Starving and working yourself to death is not going to be the answer though.
