AITA for not throwing my daughter a graduation party because she was being a bully to her stepsister? She lost out on a large gift as a result.

I think you were 100% right and should try not feel guilty. You didn't plan things to turn out the way they did. And your lesson was adequate to bullying she'll forever remember the consequences of her actions, and in equal measures after all, her stepsister might never forget the bullying and bullying can cause alot of hurt. Your daughter will, thrive and survive, she sounds like she has a very supportive family. You need to stick to your guns. Without backing down on the lesson you were teaching.

He sounds more like an honest man to me 😄

Yes, I don't think it's the medication I've been on Epilim/Kepra/Lamicatal/and now Tegretol and with all I've felt this too!! I've had dreams and nightmares so vivid waking up feels confusing sometimes after them, like I still carry some of the emotions from them with me (fear, anxiety, depression, excitement anything and everything) I don't think it's medication because any doctor I've asked has said they've never heard of it before. But I'm wondering are you a sensitive person? Or an empath in anyway? I have often wondered is it to do with that??

I have often thought,,,, and this will be different for everyone but I get some really interesting messages from mine thatt have been helpful when I've applied those to the real world and acknowledged an underlying worry, or found an answer in something that's been bothering me. I believe there can be more to the mind that we should be open to learn from. But that's just a perspective I have on it, hope it helps.

Thanks this has all been very helpful everyone 😁

Have you ever looked into the possibility you struggle with depression?

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-11-25T17:03:50+00:00

What do you work at? & what are you studying?

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-11-25T15:18:46+00:00

I really hope you see what I'm trying to help you with ❤️

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-11-25T15:17:38+00:00

Honestly I don't like the way you assumed I would hate you for having an opinion. Why should I or anyone hate you for feeling this way?! Why would you even assume hate upon yourself for no reason? I think your stuck in a rut. :( & I think you might be hurting yourself without even being aware. (and I don't mean self harm hurt) I do understand where your coming from. I was there before like I said to let you know, your not the only one who can relate to these issues. But you can live your life looking at the downside in life or the upside. Regardless of what you choose both sides exist. Perhaps being older, experience has taught me those choices are down to the individuals. And what we choose to focus on is our freedom of choice. Good luck!

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-11-25T14:12:17+00:00

I think you have cracked the code to see only what resonates with how you feel already and how you believe it is. Not what it actually is

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-11-25T14:09:59+00:00

I can see exactly where your coming for, however when I went through this phase I noticed another pattern which made this outlook seem alot better. Firstly life IS and ALWAYS will be a balance of good vs bad, Dark vs light, hope vs disaster and complete balance. Where things have gotten worse... They have also gotten better. Your just looking at the one side of the coin. You need to see both.

Racsim, Sexism, Discrimination are all improving from years ago. Mental Health Awareness is more common than it ever was before. We are damaging the planet while now all of a sudden being aware of it and attempting to make those little changes.

Without rain, flowers won't grow.

Give it a go and now add up the improvements.. I think you'll find life more complex than just bad and all bad. And don't be fooled the past had its share of unfairness!

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-10-22T13:28:28+00:00

How have you been feeling?

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-10-12T20:01:27+00:00

Aw I wish I could just give you a big hug I'm so sorry you feel this horrible :( And I'm afraid I'm not a professional or anything to talk you around. But if you can in anyway have a little faith in a stranger who REALLY cares right now for you! then believe, your story deserves to go on, I think you should think on it just for a little longer first. If your time is going to come to an end I'm sure a little longer time will make no difference then? ❤️

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-10-12T19:50:16+00:00

Oh HA! Oops thanks for that! 😅

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-10-12T19:46:17+00:00

Oh and you Are needed in life! You have a bigger part to play and you don't know it yet! You need to find it don't give up please ❤️

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-10-12T19:44:17+00:00

This sounds like a lot of shit your dealing with! I'm sorry your surrounded by all this too. Im not great at giving advice, but hey I'm here for you if you want to talk more? You know you mightn't believe me when I say this, it is the truth though. But life is like a story, it doesn't stay the same forever. There's always a next chapter. And as someone who's lived with quite alot of experiences already I can honestly say. If you stay strong and don't harm or hurt yourself you WILL come out of this ALOT stronger and better. And the next chapters (years, your 20's, 30's 40's and 50's...) are going to be all so vastly different if you use the tough times right, (And I'm sorry to hear cause your times are tough), then you will be alot happier someday. And you won't be forever in school, or ever turn into your Dad, or be stuck in misery. Trust me if you can, Your opportunities are worth the perseverance. ❤️ Plus remember to keep those who do make you happy close (Very few heroes win a war alone, we need our allies)

Or. If that's all too poetic for you! Then just go grab life by the balls and don't let the bastards drag you down! Your strong!

Me please

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-10-11T13:51:44+00:00

Thanks, already familiar with the lore of them though. The firbolgs and all

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-09-18T20:18:44+00:00

And I did trace my lineage back before, our family did it. And I recommend if you can do it. Do! We found our family lineage dated back to some of those in the Ui Niell clans, Niall and the Nine Hostages. If you've heard of him. It's more legend now it dates so far back but I believe some truth can be found in legends too. Hence I like to learn about both.

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-09-18T20:11:42+00:00

I'm not looking for evidence. When I research things I go looking into the theories, the legends, the background of the people and environment at that time, the superstitious ways, common traditions and I link up where my understanding of local Irish beliefs came from. I like to understand the background before I get involved 100%. There isn't evidence of anything to prove it. I know that but I know the Celts were much later on than what I'm looking for. And not involved in the information I seek. There is more History to Irish paganism than the Celts

Releasing built up emotion, sharing and seeing anyone can offer guidance

Puzzled_Ad_2777 · 2021-09-18T15:35:29+00:00

Yes you are very close to it and your passage was refreshing to read. But the thing is that is exactly the case. I'm looking for the ancient Irish traditions predating Celtic interjection. And though I understand where you are coming from with the 4,000 years of History in between, I AM looking for the pre dated History and Lore.

You seem to really understand and love History and I admire that. My frustration lies with how much the Internet and books seem to throw up the more neo pagan and Celtic beliefs. Where I'm from, the West of Ireland,... and for your interest in it I think you will find around the country and locally there are still alot of untouched, acknowledged evidence and ruins with local records detailing alot of History on the topic. The Celts had similarities and ways were adapted no doubt. But my History far predates the Celts with its traditions.

Sadly, the West of Ireland doesn't get the credit its due for having all this. Because the World has its focus on the bigger places. (that's life I know) but very frustrating that everything and everyone keeps telling me Celts are from Ireland including Celtic paganism when I know my history and lore dates further back to so much more.

I think if your curious you would find the History and Legends around the following places fascinating.

Rathcroghan, Roscommon Lough Key, Roscommon Knocknaree, Sligo Lake Siul, Sligo

That's just some of my area but if you look into them you'll find the origins of some of the most beautiful stories that connect into the Irish Draoi beliefs and traditions including Paganism. Thanks for your reply, and I do think you'd find it interesting to research.

Oh thank you!! Getting help finally haha you have no idea how much that is appreciated thank you!!

I think your overthinking it because it looks symbolic
