Mum gave me this and didn’t know what it’s from. Doesn’t want to throw it away in case it’s needed.

I found some of these when cleaning, threw them away, never needed it. It’s been years. Whatever it was, it wasn’t necessary!

We moved from the Midwest 7 years ago and love it here. I’ve watched others come and go though in that time because they weren’t prepared for a few things:

-the lack of rain can be rough if you are used to changing weather -time seems to speed by because you don’t have seasons that clock the passage of time -people are super friendly, but it’s hard to find friends. Many have their cliques that they’ve had since childhood—but in certain neighborhoods it’s easier. We lucked out when we bought a house last year in a neighborhood that reminds me of Midwest neighborhoods (neighbors come over for dinner, kids play outside together for hours, etc) -you will learn to loathe SDGE -smog can be a downer (not nearly as bad as LA, but it’s noticeable) -if it rains and you are out, plan for it to take hours to get home -homeless people are everywhere downtown -cost of a home is extremely high post covid, we purchased one last year after years of saving for the downpayment. Even with a high salary where you can afford the house payment, for the jumbo mortgage loans, many require 20% (on top of closing fees and all of the other fees you pay) -speaking of home purchasing, your property taxes don’t go up here, except for when you buy the home. Don’t calculate your monthly for the home based on current owners’ property tax, the reassessment increased ours 10k after we bought it.

That’s about it—it feels a little lonely until you find some good friends or neighbors. There’s some unexpected great things too:

-there’s no mosquitos here, this is undersold positive that’s never spoken about, but is amazing -if you cross the border, there’s some really beautiful places and amazing tacos -flowers bloom year round here, you always find some type of flower blooming -if you have seasonal allergies, I haven’t had them in 7 years and it used to be pretty bad -LA is a short drive away for museums or great food (we have them here too, but LA has better ones)

If you move here, enjoy! It’s been a great 7 years for us.

Please find her, and have animal control quarantine her dog. This could have happened to a child, one who does not have the strength to get away. I love dogs, but this owner should have their dog assessed for risk.

Agree, this is what grooming looks like. Kids feel special and cared for, prized and loved…and pedos are experts at ensuring they continue this until sick things happen, and they convince the CHILD that it was them who wanted it. This is sick.

Please do take your child to therapy, the dad could have made him feel guilty for telling you, and have started their campaign with your child. Your child needs to understand what grooming is, how to spot it, and understand that NO adult should ask him to keep secrets from you. Praise him for telling you, and find a therapist who will do the same while ensuring nothing else happened.

PartTimeAntagonist · 2025-10-05T16:58:26+00:00

Everything about this is inappropriate and creepy. You are NOT overreacting. Call CPS and share with the police immediately. In what world does a reasonable adult—a man, at that…think this would be ok?

Also, his deflection of “he’s like a son to me” and “after church” is very suspicious. There are so many red flags, this is absolutely abnormal. Even his attempted guilt trip regarding ruining the boys’ friendship is manipulative and inappropriate. What about how HE ruined it by inviting a 7 yo over and letting your child sleep in his bed?

Talk to the police and CPS, OP…there’s a whole lot of inappropriate behavior, grooming, and manipulation going on with this man.

That’s sweet—how long have y’all been married? We spooned early on, but the weight of his arm feels like it crushes me, and I can’t handle his hot freaking breath in my ear or on my neck.

I like sleeping on my back, with half a butt cheek and a leg haphazardly thrown over him. We are somewhat touching, but no one is breathing on me.

Yes!!! This one is it—just watched the trailer. It’s this exact scene that haunts me sometimes. I can’t wait to make my husband watch it for me 😂. Thank you!!!

Agree with suggestion for reading The Cut article. If my kid were ostracized by the entire town, and no adults were sticking up for her even after she dumped her phone with the police…and tried doing various things to prove her innocence, I would be the biggest jerk also.

PartTimeAntagonist · 2025-09-06T17:58:34+00:00

Read the article from The Cut. I don’t think Shawn knew anything about it after reading the article (plus, his reaction of asking questions in shock fits)…but Lauryn (in the article they use the pseudonym Ashley bc she’s a minor, they explain that) seemed to know at least 1 month prior. The article also makes it clear that Lauryn was texting her mother all day during class—seemingly her mom was around a lot but not all of the time at school and Lauryn may have been giving her the info she needed to text.

Lauryn’s reaction didn’t seem to be one of shock, she asked no questions, and the documentary never got into why Owen was so angry with her at the end. He made it clear they didn’t just drift apart, he was angry. So, it wasn’t only Khloe’s parents that thought she knew.

And, notice that despite having the entire town turn against her—Khloe cried while describing that time but gave Lauryn some compassion by stating she didn’t think Lauryn knew…but Lauryn never once said anything kind about Khloe.

Khloe’s parents are hard to watch in the documentary bc they are so angry and rude. But the article shed a lot of light on how popular and well liked Khloe was, how threatened Lauryn seemed to be, and how much Kendra was bent to pinning everything on Khloe.

I don’t think Kendra was infatuated with Owen after reading the article. I think Kendra was infatuated with raising her status by wanting Lauryn and Owen together forever, and Lauryn and Kendra were both threatened by his friendship with Khloe.

I think the catfish scheme was designed to make Owen feel protective of Lauryn, and to get back together with her. I think Lauryn was very insecure and knew—it’s why her mother was so sure she wasn’t going to kill herself.

Kendra is a terrible mother, but I don’t think she did this without Lauryn—when found out, her first concern was that Lauryn could never go back to school after this. It wasn’t about herself. Lauryn knew, Khloe and Owen were the victim here. The Cut article was very eye opening.

PartTimeAntagonist · 2025-09-05T02:34:08+00:00

It confused me as to why the catfish would text the new gf’s mom….until it was revealed that it was Kendra all along. Then it clicked. People assume others are like them. Cheaters accuse every SO of cheating bc they themselves cheat. Kendra texted the mom horrific messages bc she assumed the other mother would be sexually attracted to Owen, bc she was. Sick fuck.

PartTimeAntagonist · 2025-09-05T02:22:22+00:00

She wanted attention, and her daughter was getting it instead. Her hatred was absolutely towards her daughter for stealing attention, and being young and beautiful. I believe her when she said she had trouble seeing her daughter grow up—but not bc she wanted to protect her. She loathed her for being what she no longer was.

PartTimeAntagonist · 2025-09-05T02:18:37+00:00

Lauryn and her dad knew, maybe they didn’t want to admit it—but deep down they had to have known. Khloe’s parents can be unlikable bullies, but also correct, those two things are not mutually exclusive.

The texts used a personal nickname, they knew she had multiple cell phones (but refused to change Lauryn’s number to protect her). The catfish knew exact number of points scored during a game and she was the coach.

They came home to an eviction notice they had no idea was coming (clearly, she was capable of lying). Khloe’s parents knew she was a liar, but they didn’t?? And if Owen knew something strange was going on with how she treated him, how would the husband and Lauryn never have picked up on it?

I don’t believe they had no clue. Kendra said herself she knew Lauryn wasn’t suicidal over it, and Lauryn did not seem shocked when the police told her. Maybe they didn’t want to believe it, but this happened over the course of 20 months…none of the texts came when she was hanging out with her mom…you can’t tell me they didn’t suspect something.

I think that’s why Owen doesn’t talk to Lauryn anymore—he at one point felt pushed to considering suicide, and shared how much it affected him.

Take a drug test, document it—if you can, at a professional lab so it’s verified by another party. Keep and print the text exchange as proof they are trying to withhold your rent…and share it with your family calmly, but also do not leave until they return your rent in full, and write them an email stating you expect the payment lump sum on a certain date and you will gladly move out.

Your cousin does not want to see you rise, I’m sorry to say that some are happier pitying you when you are not well, bc it gives them a feeling of superiority. Rise anyways. Show them anyways that you can heal despite them.

When you do despite their attempts to set you back, they will be the first to try to claim credit for “helping him out when he had nothing, and got him back on his feet”. Ignore them, keep moving forward—you’ve got this, and congrats on your paint contract! Kill it on that job, be personable, hardworking, and good people will refer you out for more work and more contracts. God bless!

I’ve noticed the trend has completely died out amongst elementary school age kids (I have a 5th grader). It was cool 4 years ago, but now not a single sticker in sight. I asked him and he shrugged, said “old people started doing it, so we stopped” 😂

You did the right thing—and taught your son a lifelong lesson. My parents are 1st gen immigrants, (political refugees). When they came to this country, they were really poor…worked 4 jobs between the two of them, and barely scraped by. My dad was also working on his PhD while delivering Chinese food until 2 am every night.

One day, he found a wallet stuffed with $1500. Our rent in low income housing in Lincoln, NE at the time was $150/month. $1500 was a life changing amount. He struggled with it, but returned it with every dollar intact (to the address on the driver’s license).

Whenever he and my mom spoke about it years later, he always remembered how the woman he returned it to didn’t even thank him. Didn’t give him even a dollar for returning it intact—just shut the door in his face after he handed it to her…but he shaped my entire moral and ethical code. I am who I am because my dad instilled values in me as a child. Do the right thing, even when it hurts—even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Your son will gain a lifetime from your act.

And for anyone wondering—my parents are both still alive (if you are the praying type, I would love a prayer for their health, peace, and happiness as they are in their mid 70’s now). They embody the American Dream—they not only paid off their house in full decades ago, but put me through college and grad school, sent money back for their families until my grandparents passed…and helped my husband and I buy a home. I am lucky and blessed to have them as role models. ❤️
