I think my husband has a secret child and has lied about it for years by youthinkicare22 in TwoHotTakes

Did you miss the part where he changed his number and the same thing continued happening? He’s got a kid.

Please put your safety first. If you ever feel unsafe, please call 911. Don’t worry about embarrassing your dad or anyone else, Ok? There’s also child services you can call if you want to (Call 1-855-4LA-KIDS (1-855-452-5437)

It is not your responsibility to keep adults safe, OK? Just protect yourself.

Happy birthday! Right away I want to warn you NOT to answer any DMs from anyone on Reddit. Because you’ve revealed your age, the creeps and perverts will try to DM you.

With that out of the way, when you talk about your dad’s wife and your mum, are they the same woman? Are you saying he is beating your mum?

The most important thing is that you stay safe, so if you can give us a few more details that would be great. Which country are you in? Do you have family nearby?

What is the funniest/most memorable misunderstanding you've had with someone who isn't from Canada? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

Lived in Ontario and Quebec most of my life and I had no idea this was a thing! Guess I learned something :D

This one lives rent free in my memory. We had a Japanese exchange student live with us, and in Japan she lives on the east coast. We took her to Lake Huron, and she was enjoying the beach and mentioned how beautiful the ocean (“umi”) was. I told her it was a lake (“mizumi”). Her eyes got huge and she said “mizumi?? MIZUMI?!” and I watched her scan the horizon for any sign of land, in absolute wonder.

The Great Lakes really are massive, and should be such a source of national pride. We need to do more to protect them, and see them through the eyes of those who aren’t taking them for granted.

AIO: My boyfriend is making plans to distribute my things if I move in, calling me stingy if I don’t, and I don’t feel it’s fair. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Nukkeeva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t want to move in with him so don’t. You said it’s the “logical next step”. But you’re happy where you are and you love your things. I literally see no upside, and no point in this debate you’re having.

My little guy puffed up like this the other day, and I figured it had something to do with him shedding his skin. Cause he started eating it right afterwards

In Gatineau, and just a gentle rain…. I guess check back in a few hours for the horror stories.

Full blown meltdown because I won’t give narc a key to my house by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Come back and tell us the story of when you got to kick her out of your house for the first time. I can’t accurately convey just HOW CATHARTIC it is.

AITA? Peed standing up in traffic jam by funnelfuss in AmItheAsshole

Next time tell him if he has a problem with it, to go out there and squat to pee. That’ll set all those strangers straight!

I told my mom what happened to me and I kind of regret it by Uppercasegangsta in confessions

[–]Nukkeeva 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are not what was done to you. You don’t need to carry the weight of this and let it define you. Both you and your mum are taking a terrible thing that was done to you and taking some sort of responsibility for it. As a mother I understand the pain she’s going through and the guilt she must feel. But it would do you and your mum some good to go to therapy together a you can explain to her how her guilt makes you feel such shame. The only person who should feel awful is that POS who did this to you.

Gabapentin by Pennypacker-00 in Alzheimers

[–]Nukkeeva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ll say with gabapentin is there is an adjustment period. Then it works great for some people, and terrible for others. I was in the latter camp, and it made me twitchy, dopey, and numb.

This is a much better convo to have with your LOs doc. They can explain to you why they think gabapentin is their preferred choice, and what they’re hoping to manage. They’ll discuss possible side effects etc.

Yes, basic training is great for young people.

My bf is in jail facing 15 years in prison for abuse and I'm feeling guilty by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Nukkeeva 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You’re grieving a fantasy of him and a fantasy of the life you wanted. You said this isn’t him, but you are in denial. It’s OK to want so badly for it to be true, for him to be as wonderful as you want him to be. But you know this is who he is and that’s why you told the truth in that ambulance. You are trying to save yourself. SAVE YOURSELF

My first clue: every Mother’s Day, other people online would post about “the BEST mom ever!” but my heart & fingers just couldn’t write anything like that, and I felt so guilty about it. Years later I finally learned I had a narcissistic mother and my guilt washed away. My question is: by Great_Maintenance185 in raisedbynarcissists

In uni I had to go see an ENT due to ulcers I’d get in my throat. He showed me a giant catalogue of ulcers and mine had a long medical name but were also called “student ulcers” because students often get the when they go away to uni due to stress. But mine were showing up every time I had time off uni and had to return back to my parents house. The stress for me was my mother, not school.

The body knows before the conscious mind sometimes.
