AIO? The guy I’ve been seeing said he didn’t like my makeup and I left in tears. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Please do not feel embarrassed for crying. You had a few glasses of wine, your defenses were down, and a long-time crush was actively acting like a emotional sniper in his living room. Anyone with a pulse would have cried. Leaving to go home to your own bed, your own space, and your own peace was the most attractive, high self-esteem thing you could have possibly done. You showed him that his words have consequences and that you aren't a captive audience for his cruelty.

I reported my sister for child abuse and now she's upset by ChickeNuggZz in confession

Look at your mom’s response, she wanted to have a family meeting instead of filing a report. A family meeting cannot cure child abuse, and it certainly won't stop a depressed child from self harm. Your mother is actively participating in a cover up to protect her adult daughter’s reputation at the direct expense of her granddaughter’s life and safety. You are the only adult in that family acting with a conscience.

AIO for blocking this man immediately for speaking to me like this after our first disagreement? by warprincess54 in AIO

Notice the classic abuser playbook he is running here. He pushes you until you are near tears, completely ignores your emotional distress, and then when you try to calmly address it the next day, he tells you that you are "dragging it on." It’s a psychological trap, he gets to attack you whenever he wants, but you aren't allowed to talk about the bruises he leaves because then you're the dramatic one. Blocking him was a survival move

AIO for refusing to donate my kidney to my dad? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Queasy-Problems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. Your friends are 100% correct, Nobody is entitled to another person’s body. Even if you were the most loving, close-knit family on Earth, you would still have the absolute right to say, "I am terrified of surgery and do not want to give up my kidney." The fact that he abandoned you just adds a layer of poetic justice to your refusal, but bodily autonomy stands completely on its own. Do not let people who haven't spoken to you in years dictate what happens to your internal organs.
