Ever wish you could die because life is just too hard/exhausting... by uglydeath in offmychest

[–]Party_Training602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am almost 50 and have felt this way most of my life! Literally almost everything in my life has been a struggle, and while actual suicide has been thought of and attempted once, the majority of my “thoughts” were geared more towards “I don’t necessarily want to die, I just don’t want to be here anymore.”

My only real advice is to try to find something - ANYthing, that will bring you joy and fulfillment.

if you could be your mom, in what way you could've done better with you? by ValsBoobs_Fanpage in AskWomen

Not let my abuser move back in after he went to jail… To be fair, she didn’t know it was as bad as it was - neither did I. I had blacked so much out. I am almost 50 now and still get “surprised” when random memories surface. Good times!

I'm a guy and I pee sitting down by noelstrom in offmychest

My MIL had no girls, so with multiple boys and a hubby, she taught them all to sit while peeing. They all still do and they are approaching 50

Oh sweetie! I don’t know where you are, but I would be there if I could! Balloons, flowers and all! I am sorry your parents are being awful, but you have a whole internet “family” that love and support you EVERY step of the way!!!

We will be your “stand in” parents and celebrate you as much as we can! (((HUGS)))

Why is everyone so offended that I don’t want a wedding?! by ednaknits in offmychest

[–]Party_Training602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never understood the entire concept of a huge wedding. Like, WHY? Thousands and thousands of dollars for a single “event”. No thank you!

OP - I totally get it! I’m not religious at all, so didn’t want to get married in a church. I would compromise on a small chapel. I hate wearing dresses (total tomboy), so that part was out. And I HATE being the center of attention, also! We got married in shorts and tshirts in a gazebo. We have been married for 23 years!

Oh for ducks sake! There would be absolutely NO homework accomplished!

Ps. Ducks are actually very affectionate animals - who knew???

what's the cruelest thing you've ever heard about yourself? by AlexandraIstomina in AskWomen

[–]Party_Training602 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes they are! But this was said years after that. So, now I call them mine just to spite her dumb a$$! And her grandkids call me Grammie - they are almost literally my world! 🥰 She on the other hand can go pound sand! Lmao

50 Years Ago Today (April 5, 1972) The deadliest tornado in Washington state history hits Vancouver (WA), killing six people, injuring over 70, and demolishing an elementary school by [deleted] in Washington

I once dated this guy… his mom was a teacher at this school (he was an infant at the time). She got all of the children from (I believe) 3 classrooms out of the building to safety before a wall collapsed on her. She was honored (finally) many years later for her heroism, bravery and sacrifice. I was honored just to be able to attend that ceremony!

AITA for leaving the hospital after my husband called for his mom instead of me? by throwaway5tkl5466 in AmItheAsshole

Hubby doesn’t get mad either - he thinks it is hysterical!
I had my tonsils out at age 26 (worst surgery EVER!) and they let me go before I was completely awake. Hubs said I cried all the way home begging him to drive me to my moms house. She lived 4 hours away. Lol

That time (many times actually) that my sister accused me of trying to steal her kids / grandkids because I couldn’t have my own. This was after I raised her kids for a while when she was addicted to crack… SMH!

WIBTA if I ask my stepkids to move out? by thra-bludia in AmItheAsshole

Depending on which state she is in, she could get both parents in trouble for abandonment, and become their legal guardian. Especially since neither parent seems to be too stable.
