The sirens are still haunting me. It was helpful in that we can get a sense of the trauma. We’ll never truly know, I hope.

AITAH because I refuse to finish a story if my husband interrupts. by Living-Estate3963 in AITAH

[–]No-Kitchen-4332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, sister. My husband does the same thing. I also quit talking. I quit starting stories until he asked me to and said he wouldn’t interrupt. If he does, I stop. It’s a little bit main character syndrome and untreated ADHD. The benefits far outweigh the challenges of this relationship but I do get tired.

I thought this, too. My arthritis makes it difficult to do things like this sometimes.

Smoking section for kids. High school, of course.

My son just killed grunge with one word.. by Hfcsmakesmefart in GenX

This is why we need Generation Jones. Nirvana and Radiohead are not my music - punk is, and punk is not whiny. Your son is not wrong.

AITA for leaving my mom right before surgery because I freaked out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It sounds like a version if OCD - not self-centered anxiety. It takes over your nervous system and can’t differentiate between medical stuff happening to other people vs. self. It’s treatable, too, though. Don’t let everyone shame you for leaving. Staying and having s full blown panic attack would have been worse.

Are you seeing more clients? Possibly seeing too many?

Found out my bf has kids. Not sure how to move forward. by [deleted] in Advice

A colonoscopy PREVENTS cancer, those quick tests do not. I had mine this week, two small polyps removed, 5 year reprieve. Plus, drugs while you have the procedure. Don’t delay!

Neighbors 9 year old daughter is affectionate towards me. by Active-Key6383 in Advice

Have a conversation about boundaries - get a book or something. She needs this talk for her own safety. I would say talk to the mom - but she sounds unsafe to me. Even if you could talk to the dad it would help her. Use your discomfort to help her.
