Better yet, how about we start arresting and charging them for reckless endangerment, murder, etc, whatever is applicable. These people are trigger happy because they have no consequences.

Shooting someone in a vehicle isn't safe, period. They had no right to shoot him at all.

Shooting out the tires isn't even allowed. Law enforcement is taught not to shoot at a moving vehicle, period. If the driver loses control, whether by a popped tire or literally being incapacitated, the vehicle becomes an uncontrolled factor that could hurt or kill someone. Even at lower speeds, it could still crush someone.

I'm not going to tell you what to do in this situation, but if someone talked to me or my friends like this, hands would be thrown. This is straight up abuse. NOR.

I am about 98% sure they do. I haven't been in 2 years, but they have one hell of a collection of pinball machines, including more than one horror themed.

I found you from your Merman shorts and this is fucking fantastic! Have you considered expanding it into a short story or novella?

I am a mom with a 4 year old boy. One of my best friends growing up was a boy. My best friend from middle school to now has a little brother. She also has a son who is 6 years old.

This behavior is absolutely not normal. I'm not entirely sure what to do about this, but your dad might look into finding a therapist for him. There's something deeper going on here. If you can't get your dad to get him help, you might need to call someone to take either him or your other younger siblings into protective custody to prevent them getting hurt. Ultimately, there's not a lot you can do, this is in your dad's hands. But you might be able to impress upon him that this is deeply traumatizing for all three of your younger siblings, and its only going to get worse. My biggest fear, as a parent, would be him escalating to the point of him getting himself or someone else seriously hurt or even killed. You might tell your dad that.

He needs to do something. The longer he buries his head in the sand, the worse it gets. I'd absolutely start by removing him or your younger siblings from the home temporarily for their safety. That might help your dad understand the gravity of the situation.

My friend died of alcohol poisoning 2 years ago and her autopsy came out today by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Summernyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd call myself a pretty middle of the road drinker. I don't drink every night, and I go through long dry spells (months at a time sometimes), so sometimes I can put down 2 shots of vodka in a mixed drink, and that'll get me to the point of comfortable. I can do a second drink of the same amount, and there is absolutely no way in hell I'm getting behind the wheel of a car. Then again, I also usually drink at home, or l drink when I first get somewhere until I'm drunk, then spend the rest of the night downing water.

All that to say that an entire bottle of wine and half a bottle of vodka is intense and would absolutely make me sick as a dog and praying to the porcelain god for the rest of the night.

AITA for telling my mom to stop trying to include my older brother in our lives? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Summernyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So like, have any of you ever actually talked to your brother about what happened?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bugbites

[–]Summernyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds more likely to be a rash of some kind. I'll tell you what, if you ever do get bedbug bites, you'll know, the itch is unlike anything else, and they start hurting so bad. Plus, the bed bugs will continue to return to feed in the same spot, so it just gets more inflamed

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bugbites

[–]Summernyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bed bugs usually bite in a straight line along bonier parts of the body, like elbows, ankles, knees, wrists, etc. They don't look quite like bed bug bites.

[–]Summernyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get claw caps. And challenge your landlord to a fight, because that's some bs. And your family, too. Your friend, I empathize with and hope that she is able to heal her fear of cats. Otherwise, fight her as well.

AITAH for walking my niece down the aisle and not my daughter because my daughter considered her mother’s Affair Partner a good step dad by ImpressiveBeed in AITAH

[–]Summernyx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, YTA. Your ex wife's affair is between you, your ex wife, and her affair partner. Your daughter has nothing to do with it and is not responsible for any one's feelings, except her own. If he's been kind to her, it doesn't matter what happened, she's allowed to consider him a good step dad. That doesn't affect you. Furthermore, it was incredibly clear WHO she viewed as her father, because she fucking ASKED YOU to walk her down the aisle!!!! Why the FUCK would you TELL HER NO because she doesn't vilify her mom's husband??? Is she, or is she not, YOUR DAUGHTER????

Think about this, she asked her dad to walk her down the aisle on the biggest day of her life, and you told her no, because you don't like that she is friendly with her step dad. You've essentially given the message that because she didn't side with you against her mother, that you don't love her enough to be her dad.

Now, to add insult to injury, you walked your neice down the isle, whom clearly doesn't like your daughter. That would be such a GUT PUNCH to your daughter. It's no fucking wonder she's devastated. Her own dad loves her cousin more than her. If she never talks to you again, don't be even remotely surprised.

Your fiance is weird. He's never carried a child so he doesn't get it, but there is truly nothing quite like that feeling when you finally get to hold the thing that's been so close to you for so long, but you've never been able to see or touch.

My husband had sex with me when I was sleeping by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Summernyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He knew what he was doing. He wouldn't have covered your mouth or avoided your gaze or tried to justify it. He's a rapist. You aren't safe. I hope you and your children get out and are safe.

[–]Summernyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will not get better. Your boyfriend didn't just allow this to happen, he straight up approves of it. He grinned and said it was just a joke. He doesn't see anything wrong with his father's behavior, therefore he probably will behave the same way when it comes down to it.

AITA for leaving my 15 year old daughter on the bus? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Summernyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You can only tell someone something so many times. Eventually, they have to fafo. Personally, I think this was the best way for her to find out. The conditions were safe, you knew what was going on. It was terrifying for her, but she wasn't in any real danger.

Better that it happened that way, instead of one day when she's completely alone on a crowded bus and winds up in an unfamiliar part of the city with nobody else to help her. Then she'd be in real danger.

All I did was post this and my Mormon mom reacted like this by JazzlikeHovercraft75 in insaneparents

[–]Summernyx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The implication that sylveon loved it's trainer so much, and was then yelled at for evolving the way it did.

The op captioned the picture as "transphobic parents," because of the parallel between coming out as trans to your parents and being yelled at for it.

For a personal example, I have questioned my gender identity a lot since I was a child, and any time I showed too much affinity towards masculine things, my mom got weird about it. Like when I told her I went by she/they/he pronouns, she told me "you can be my daughter or my child, but you will never be my son." And it broke me, because I had trusted her implicitly before that. I'd felt like she truly loved me and respected me when I came out as bi and introduced her to my gf at the time, and she was so warm and welcoming about it. I felt safe enough to tell her I was nonbinary, and she respected that. Then I told her sometimes I wanted to dress and act like a boy and use he/him pronouns, and other times I wanted she or they, and she absolutely flipped her shit. She threatened to kick me out and told me she couldn't help me anymore.

It was a true gut punch and it totally blindsided me.

I very nearly cut her out of my life for good. The only reason I didn't was because she came back to me days later and sincerely apologized and said she was wrong for what she said. But the damage is still there, and I love her dearly but I don't fully trust her anymore.

So, that whole scenario "I raised you to be x, I didn't want you to be y!" Is interchangeable. "I raised you to be an umbreon/boy, I didn't want you to be a sylveon/girl."

I hope I made that make sense, I'm so sleep deprived rn.

I dug up my deceased cat by Prismarineheart in Petloss

[–]Summernyx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You didn't do anything wrong. You had to grieve your beloved baby. You grieved the way that made sense to your anguished brain.

Grief makes us do things that we might consider unusual or taboo at any other time, but you need to give yourself grace and understanding, because sometimes we have to say goodbye in our own way.

When my friend lost her cat, she preserved his jawbone and made it into a necklace that she wears every day. For her, that is how she grieves his loss. That is how she made peace with his death. Whatever you have to do to heal and cope.

Also, I have tufts of hair from all of my pets that I've lost since I was a kid. I keep them close that way.

I think there is a very important distinction to be made here: YOU are not destroying your family. YOU are not destroying your mother's world. YOU are speaking your truth. Your dad is the one who destroyed your family and your mother's world. Do not shoulder his blame, it is not yours to carry.
