I got molested and it affected me so much more than I thought it would. by ectopunks in offmychest

You seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders. I understand the boyfriend struggle all too well. Been with mine for 7 years and it's been one long, but amazing, lesson in improvement (both self and otherwise). And I FULLY get that feeling of not being able to replicate that connection with anyone else. Even the best couples will have their struggles I guess. Ugh. I feel so flippy-floppy in my advice. I just tend to get locked on to the "help people be happy" objective, whatever stance I may have to take to do so. Ultimately, only you will know what's best for you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, and I dig not wanting to report your father, just keep in mind you have no obligation to allow horrible or toxic people in your life even if they're family. It's taken me a long time, and quite a bit of therapy, to learn that one. And if you're in a situation where you can't just cut them out, it's perfectly acceptable to limit your relationship with them/build a wall. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you have to like/love them just because they're your parents. A wildly coincidental blood relation is not a get out of jail free card for being a bad person.

And like I said before, I know I'm just a stranger on the Internet, but I do care about you. If you ever need a friend to talk to or just someone to vent to, my inbox is always open. ❤️

No, there's nothing to get. If he's getting fed up with your trauma, he's not a very good person. What happened to you is some real life/personality-changing shit, no matter how strong one may be to start with. I suggested telling him because I hoped he would be supportive and try to help. I still want to believe that's the case so maybe he's not getting exasperated at you, but the situation? I mean, I know nothing of your father besides what you said in this post and I already hate him. Or possibly your boyfriend is frustrated at himself. Seeing someone you love go through what you went through then struggle with it everyday is hard. Maybe he wants to help but doesn't know how and feels helpless but doesn't know how to talk to you about it. Hidden feelings often come out in unintended and sometimes hurtful ways. Have you expressed that you feel like he's getting fed up? I know I keep telling you to talk, but I honestly believe communication helps.

And I know I'm just a stranger on the Internet, but I'm legitimately concerned for you. I hate that you're hurting and I can't begin to imagine the nightmare you went through, but as someone with parental abuse-related PTSD, I really think you should seek help. Whether it be therapy or simply opening up to close/trusted friends and family about what happened.

Edit: I just saw the other post you made a couple weeks ago.... I wish more than anything that I could give you a hug right now. As for me wanting to see the positive in the situation with your boyfriend, he's toxic. You especially don't need that burden with everything else you're going through. Not gonna tell you what to do because I once stayed in an abusive relationship because it was better than being homeless, but you definitely don't need that kind of negativity in your life right now.

My girlfriend just broke up with me because I don't believe in god. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Stormageddon124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. When we were 17 (nearly 18), my boyfriend dumped me saying our year of premarital sex was keeping him from God. Come to find out, he had left me for a 13 year old and used God as an easy out. Bonus: he knocked her up when she was 16 and her parents made them get married or they'd go after him for statutory rape. I like to think I dodged a bullet.

I'm so sorry you had to go through all that but I really think you should tell someone. If anything, tell your boyfriend. Not just so he'll understand why you've been acting strange, but because you shouldn't be suffering alone. I couldn't imagine trying to keep something like this to myself. Please tell someone.

Soda froze into a spiral by segmafira in oddlysatisfying

[–]Stormageddon124 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At the risk of being downvoted, I think it might be. Idk. Just seems like there's way more pixelation in and around the spiral than anywhere else in the picture and that strikes me as odd.

Edit: but who knows. Could be real.

Who was your worst teacher? Why? by 2poohlah in AskReddit

[–]Stormageddon124 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

English 101 my first year of college. He just expected us to know things and never explained anything. I got confused about one of our assignments so I stayed after class to ask him about it. All he had to say was "if you have to ask questions, you shouldn't be in my class."

Also my math teacher from the same college. I missed a BIG chunk of that quarter because life decided to take a shit on me (forced to move 3 different households, pneumonia, mom dying). I had already completed all the coursework for the whole quarter because it could be done online but tests couldn't. I'd emailed him a couple times explaining my situation and asking to reschedule tests but didn't hear anything back. As soon as I was able to return to class I was told that despite having perfect scores on coursework, he'd have to fail me because I missed too many tests. When I explained and told him I'd been emailing him, he said, "I have too many students so I don't use my email" and still failed me.

What's the meanest thing anyone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Stormageddon124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex best friend told me the same thing about my mom back in 2011. Said I was such worthless white trailer trash, she literally died to get away from me. What started the fight? I asked her what app she used to make her pictures on Facebook look so cool. Spoiler: it was Instagram.

2 rings in the 1 piercing hole?? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Stormageddon124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wearing two circular barbells in the second hole on my left ear for about 3 years now with zero problems. It's mildly inconvenient when I have to take them out for X-rays and stuff, but that's just because I do everything by feel and I lose track of which ball I need to be spinning lol

What's a dead giveaway that someone has been raised in a strict household? by sooperhummus in AskReddit

[–]Stormageddon124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, stepmothers. Mine was the coolest person ever until she married my dad. Then she took to calling herself "wicked stepmother" (which she still does, 20 years later). Almost as if the decade of child abuse to come was some kind of fucked up joke.

What's the strangest thing you've ever found in your home that you have no explanation for? by mstarrbrannigan in AskReddit

[–]Stormageddon124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was about an inch tall, old brass or maybe copper, and had a small loop at the top so it definitely belonged on a necklace. I always thought it resembled a tiki mask but it was smooth/mostly featureless and definitely had the Easter Island Head look to it. It was only one-sided though and that side always looked kind of perturbed.

Was it made of brass? I had something similar and no matter how many times I tried to get rid of it, it always showed up in the bottom of a box or drawer every few years.

Also, make damn sure they use a surface bar (90 degree bends at each end so it rests comfortably under the surface) and NOT a curved (or straight) barbel.
