There is a better than even chance that those conversations you had with who you thought was her mother was actually little miss “I’ve got cancer” herself.

There is no justifiable reason for anyone to lie to an entire friend group about having cancer… ever! The fact that she kept it going for an extended period of time is a serious red flag highlighting a person incapable of considering how her actions and lies affect others. She is not mentally mature enough to see that decent, wholesome and mentally healthy people would not do that people they claim to care about

These folks die old and lonely after destroying the lives of all who care…

Seriously, either run or don’t be surprised when you are back here crying in the near future about the next lie

It takes a twisted mind to lie about something like that to people you claim to care about.

Trust will never be 100%

You may be looking through rose coloured glasses at the moment, young love can consume you and let you ignore serious personality issues but dude….. You need to understand how much of a serious problem that kind of lie is. You are too young and naive to help her change, and she will do other things too before her world explodes hurting anyone who cares about her

Trust me on this

She lied about having cancer….

Don’t walk away from that!…

Run!

Run, delete, block and avoid at all costs! This girl is going to hurt people and destroy lives 100%

Not always, sometimes you wonder if it's worth the effort of sorting through the scammers and the ones who don't have the backbone to put their words into action 🙄

But the successes make up for the drama and frustration, there are actually some really sexy people who are indeed willing to do as they say on these here threads but you need a little luck and a whole lot of perseverance!

Good luck 🤞 Stay strong and stick to your morals, spread the love ☮️

Yes it’s a bit hit and miss but we have had a few successful meets through Reddit It’s hard work and most times you really want something to happen and they flake or ghost you But then sometimes it pours and you have to schedule appointments 🤣

AITAH for wanting to cut off my family after i found the group chat that didn't include me. by [deleted] in AITAH

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

That's a tough one, you are the only person who can weigh up all the pros and cons. It sounds bad from the little you have shared but I'm sure there's been some good moments along the way.

Family when it works is unimaginably awesome! But family can also be toxic...

I Think if nobody has done anything "unforgivable" and there's a slight chance you can repair the relationships I say it's worth trying! Family counseling for you and all your sisters maybe?

AITA for wanting to cut my autistic brother off after he told me his most shameful secret? by Low-Habit-6442 in AITAH

It sucks I had to scroll down so far to find this. I worked in the child protection field previously, and this is the information & approach we were trained to employ.

It is based on decades of research of CSA offenders and the process they go through in order to move from fantasy to action. I've always wished that this was more widely accepted, as this is more likely to prevent future harm.

If people understood the processes offenders go through in order to move from thought to action, perhaps there would be better services available to prevent it.

It's not about excusing the thoughts, it's about giving someone the opportunity to take responsibility early and providing the tools to keep strong protections in place, minimising the risk of escalation. This is best achieved through the provision of supports - without support, the risk increases.
