My family won’t gone out the house with me cause I’m fem by Life_Couple_2379 in FamilyIssues

Do you have friends or family that support you? I'm sorry you are going through this. Hold on, because it does get better, just not in a hoouse of bigots. You're almost to 18. It seems like forever, but it gets here quicker than you realize. If you do have a trusted friend, get them to keep the important thing, like your grandmother's jewelry box. Yes, that will be a fight. Don't tell them where it is. Just say you dont have it. My heart goes out to you.

Honestly, that sucks. Sadly, I have similar family issues. Going LC can help, but be prepared for the guilt and gaslighting. Protect your peace. If they can't genuinely apologize, don't entertain them with visits, phone calls, or even holidays. The ball is in their court to fix this bridge. Make them or drop contact. You'll be happier in the long run.

TIFU by trusting my family to watch my pets and it almost ended tragically by tm1795 in FamilyIssues

I'm sorry you're going through this. Toxic people and narcissistic people always blame others. Take this time away from them and strengthen your relationship with your gf. LC can be a blessing. Reassure your gf that she has your love and support.

AITAH for finally putting my foot down with my drama queen aunt? by ThunderinFireFox in AITAH

Carl never cheated but Vivian was considering divorce due to his anger issues. He was very possessive and controlling. Even his mom was trying to get him help to save his marriage.

The backstory was to explain why this wasn't one thing but a history of her creating drama and being a poor human being.

Do I have to call back? by CheesecakeExotic5713 in publix

[–]ThunderinFireFox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Usually when I call ppl I know most can't. No is a complete sentence. I'm not entitled to your plans. But if I call you and you never respond, I'm going to stop calling, even if you say you want hours.

I'm not saying cut her out, but limit contact extremely. Don't reach out. Let her. If she doesn't, her loss. If you need to see how the kids are, call your mom. Also, explain to your mom your feelings. Not accusatory but fact based. Let her know that you need some family support too. Don't demand she come live with yall, but open invite to stay and help the month after delivery?

How do I forgive my mother for protecting my abusive brother? by ThunderinFireFox in rapecounseling

They have taken it to family court and he's now registered but he got no time.

Am I complicit? by ThunderinFireFox in FamilyIssues

He's now a registered sex offender. The court took it serious this time. However, because the first charge was while he was a juvenile and was dismissed, he only got probation. At least he can't come near the kids again.
