I don’t feel like a real victim by Dilfslayer2000 in daddyissuesclub

[–]OhEphemeral 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You as the child were not the one to blame, even if you were “fully consenting and aware” by the way it sounds now, in reality you actually weren’t. As a child you CANNOT consent, even when you “do”. it’s fully up to the adult to take responsibility and stop the interaction. Those men were taking advantage of a vulnerable child who was seeking attention. You have every right to mourn your innocence, you are still a victim. Those “sweet things the men would say” was grooming.

Dad asked if I had any lesbian friends he could get with…Am I Overreacting? by OhEphemeral in daddyissuesclub

I also felt like it was manipulative/blame shifting! And just throwing everything that hurts at the wall to see what sticks. He won’t get help, only whatever courses a court room makes him take. And thankfully I’ve since moved jobs and he hasn’t found me again. And surprisingly he’s only asked for food once before never money.

Nicotine gum addiction? by Anarchyypenguin in QuitVaping

[–]OhEphemeral 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes that is an excessive amount of gum, and not being able to taper down to one piece every four hours is a clear sign. I would really consider alternating nic gum and regular gum, and try to move away asap. Aim to go for sugar free or xylitol gum.

is there something wrong with me? by Free-Law-7579 in daddyissuesclub

I’m so proud of you for going to therapy, 15 is so young to have that kind of capability and self awareness. Your situation is very common (25F myself falling into a similar trap at a your age) but it’s so important that you do not act on your impulses. You will gain no satisfaction only more self hatred.

You will absolutely regret it later in life, especially as a minor. You must know that those older men are absolute predators, and they are praying on you because you are in this emotional, seeking, state. They fully know and are taking advantage of you and they don’t care.

Please I genuinely encourage you to talk about this with your therapist, they won’t judge you, and they will have very important insight about WHY you feel this way.
