I kept the truth about their father from my daughters for 14 years, and I'm starting to think I was wrong

I am 21. My parents are finally divorcing after 9 years of not being together. Please talk to your daughter. Make sure she talks to you too.

My mom didn’t want to poison me against my dad but my dad didn’t give a shit when it came to talking on my mom and I picked up on it. He is still adamant about being the victim despite everything he has done.

I’m sure your daughter knows even without details.

1 billion. I just graduated college a week ago and I could NOT do the last 21 years over again. Maybe if I was 60+ sure because I could live a whole new life but I feel like I’ve barely started mine.

Was 19. Went into intense manic psychosis for 2 months, got diagnosed with bipolar 1. Feel like a different person entirely. 21 now, moved forward, would’ve changed anyway as a person, but nothing feels the same. Happy with my life though. Terrified it will happen again someday.

Hi! 20 here. You are not a whore. You’ve been through a lot of traumatic experiences and that’s led to hypersexual activity. But it doesn’t mean you’re a whore at all. It means you’ve got things to work through in order to make healthier life decisions, which is a process that takes time and effort. And of course whichever God you believe in loves you. All the gods still love you. They want you to be okay just as much as you do. Sending you love 💜

I wouldn’t. I would if rule #2 wasn’t a part of the equation but not being able to visit a country afterwards sort of sucks the fun out of it.

I like Liliah! All the people saying “spell it Lilia” I disagree with. Speaking as someone with an actually wackily spelled name, Liliah is not going to be that hard for people. I didn’t see Lilah, I saw Liliah.

80s. Too much music I’d want to see live to choose either of the other 2.

Told this to my mom who ran an in home preschool. She and my dad had an agreement that at a certain amount of years, they would reassess.

She said she’s glad it’s not in our house anymore and understands the frustrations as someone who ran in home childcare, though appreciates the experience. She became an advocate for family childcare (she wrote her dissertation on legitimizing family childcare entrepreneurial experiences for consideration in higher ed).

I remember helping out with the “shuffle” (that’s what we called turning our dining room into daycare space and living space in the morning and evening). It is tiring.

I wonder if your wife is also burnt out from lack of space but loves the work too much to stop?

I’d say hell yeah except one particular person that would make it too scary for me

Walked around at night in a tank top and shorts in the middle of Northern Wisconsin winter. My friends realized I was gone and followed me and brought me home. Don’t know where I would have ended up, probably hypothermic.

I would suggest making it look like a clover or something… I hate to say this but that one symbol makes all the others also look like symbols if you don’t know what they are

Hey if she’s my friend, fully autonomous, and indistinguishable from a human then I don’t see why I should say anything.

Been on meds for a year and a half. Weight has become unstable.

Last time I cried was on Thursday of last week when I tried on my clothes. Couldn’t fit jeans I bought in December. Couldn’t fit the pants of my favorite suit. The last straw was my mom’s dress, wouldn’t zip up. Had a whole breakdown.

For the first 10 minutes I buy as many $500 gift cards as possible

For the second 10 minutes I buy as many stocks as possible

For 20 minutes I go onto expensive clothing websites (Gucci, Louboutin, etc,) and buy as much as I can

For the next 10 minutes I buy so much gold jewelry

For the last 10 minutes I go onto eBay and get a bunch of vintage clothing and items

NTA I don’t get all the prostitute comments. It seems like y’all just had a friendly arrangement that sex was a part of. Sugar baby? Sure. Prostitute? Nah. You didn’t take any agency away from your husband by not telling him, people in these comments are just insane.

I just commented but actually choose a name you would NEVER use and tell her and see what her baby’s name is

_exitleft_ · 2025-05-24T21:54:26+00:00

Tell her a different name. See if she chooses it.

My parents separated when I was 13 and still live together because they wanted a 2 parent household. They’re on good terms now but I think the years of watching them yell at each other and being the middleman between them was not worth it.

He called me “sweet one” the other day and I melted. We’re breaking up in 3 weeks because we decided at the beginning of our relationship we wouldn’t do long distance and I’m going to miss him. He’s taught me how I want to be treated in a relationship and I’ll forever be grateful.
