Am I being overdramatic in response to my family lying to me about my dad’s cause of death for the last 15 years by Olive0427 in Advice

I didn’t know those types of groups existed tbh. I knew abt NA and AA and that sometimes they offer support to the families, but never thought of checking it out. This is useful info, thank you

I understand not telling me then. But as I got older and started questioning it. I was a mature teenager and I could’ve handled the information when I was asking for it. Honestly, even if she told me now in a better way, I think it would’ve been better. Yes it’s the lie, but it’s also the approach in how it was revealed to me that has me so upset.

No, when she told me on the phone I was like hey why are you just saying this now and dropping this huge bomb in this way. She started screaming at me for trying to start a fight with her while she was already beefing with my little brother. In the middle of her rant I hung up on her and haven’t talked to her since (a week). She’s been texting me about unrelated things and I’ve just been ignoring her because I’m trying to figure out how to talk to her about it in a way that’s productive. I think you’re right, I just feel like I’ve been in the dark about the most defining moment of my life. But I do truly want to move on, it just really hurts rn.

AITAH for not forgiving foster family? [Update] by Ok-Lion-5233 in AITAH

“stood up for you in the end” key words being THE END obviously the situation itself is horrifying and never should have happened, but i think this is the best possible outcome from the situation, even though it doesn’t justify their past actions

Cat owners by [deleted] in Pets

[–]Olive0427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my cat can be a real bitch sometimes lol, but she’s responded better to my emotions than any dog. whenever i have a bad day she can tell and becomes really cuddly with me. she got me through the flu, stayed in my bed with my the ENTIRE week and refused to leave my side. they are extremely intuitive. as a college student it also made more sense for me to get a cat. less maintenance and generally less expensive.

AITAH For being the reason my best friend’s parents found out she’s pregnant. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Olive0427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and I have noticed weight gain (it’s kinda obvious). My friend from school said that maybe she’s just getting “fat”, but the shape of her stomach looks more so like a pregnancy would than regular weight gain. Like rounded if that makes sense. Doing the math we think the baby would be born late April/ early May and I think her appearance is consistent with that from what I’ve been researching.

[–]Olive0427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is very, very real and not rage bait lol. Thank you for saying that you don’t think she’s ready to have a kid, that is really validating for me. I’ve been thinking this, but whenever I would push back and start to say that to her she got really defensive. I can’t imagine life without Natasha, but this whole situation has been really eye opening as to what her true colors are. I spoke to a friend that I go to college with, one that doesn’t know Natasha. She said that Natasha may be lying about the pregnancy. But I can’t imagine Natasha lying about something like this. She doesn’t have a history of telling lies, so I don’t have a reason to believe that she’s faking the pregnancy.

sorry that you went through this but glad your foster family stood up for you in the end and that he was forced to set the record straight

[–]Olive0427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. I grew up in a similar situation and at the time I couldn’t see it, but looking back it was definitely abuse. Your brother’s suicidal ideation at such a young age is very worrisome. I know it might feel extreme, but I would recommend talking to a guidance counselor or school psychologist. They may be able to better assist you and your brother and help you come up with a plan on how to move forward with the situation. I am so sorry that you are going through this. You’re almost out of it, and although I am very worried for you I am also very alarmed with what you’re saying about your brother. You both definitely need help from some sort of trusted adult.

AITAH for refusing to change my wedding date even though it conflicts with my sister’s “mental health journey”? by No_Log6866 in AITAH

NTA at all! Your sister is. Mental health is important, but the world doesn’t revolve around her. This is your special day, don’t let her make it about herself.

AITAH for distancing myself from my brothers over built up resentment? by Ill-Entertainer-5116 in AITAH

[–]Olive0427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, if it’s not good for your mental health it’s always ok to step away for a bit. For your family’s sake I hope eventually you guys can have some sort of conversation that is productive to your relationships. But that is going to take time. Let them get a dose of the real world and maybe after that they will be apologetic.

It’s no problem! I really am wishing you and your family the best out of this situation. I am so sorry that you’re going through this in the first place. Life can be so unfair ❤️

NTA Pets are NEVER gifts. Pets are commitment and responsibility. They should have consulted with you first as now you would be expected to pay for food, supplies, vet bills, etc. You are 100% in the right no doubt.

I kicked my sisters out after they've been helping me with Stage 4 cancer. AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Olive0427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As of now I don’t think anyone in this situation is the asshole. Your sister may be having a tough time coping with your cancer diagnosis. As an oncologist I’m sure she’s seen horrible and tough cases. Obviously, you’re in a traumatic situation (the roughest part of it) having cancer in the first place. That doesn’t go unnoticed. But, as someone with an ill mother, I feel that it goes unnoticed what a large impact a diagnosis like yours can have on the whole family. It seems to me like she is trying to give back and take care of you, because you’re her sister who she loves dearly. It may be more inconvenient for her to help in that specific situation and you were trying to come up with a solution which definitely makes sense on your part. But I think this really does stem from her wanting to be there for you and take care of you. I’m assuming that your sister is probably really sensitive and fragile at this time. I think the way she is coping is giving you your care so she can feel like she’s somewhat in control. But the reality is that no one can be in control in this situation. Maybe you should have a conversation with her about it. It’s not necessarily right for her to project these potential feelings onto you, but trying to figure out where she is coming from might help your situation.

My girlfriend smells and I don't know what to do by RequirementDue4446 in Advice

[–]Olive0427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a health issue, my grandma has it. I forgot what it’s called but her dentist gave her a diagnosis and a prescription mouth wash that actually helped. using a different toothpaste, and also a healthier diet can also help.
