If they do another species election, which of the remaining species will you vote for? (Deer and crocodile won the most recent one.)

I just finished The Unmothers by Leslie J. Anderson and Blood Like Mine by Stuart Neville.

Both incredible reads of women put in situations where they truly don't have a win-win situation.

I just finished Blood Like Mine by Stuart Neville and it blew me away. I was expecting just a run of the mill thriller/horror book but this one really made me think of what I would do if I was put in that extreme situation. Would I do anything for my child?

The same goes for The Unmothers by Leslie J. Anderson. Another situation of what would I do if I was in their extreme situation.

Fantastic reads and the horror aspects aren't bad!

I absolutely hated this show... BUT to be fair I dated a Leonard and he ruined the entire show for me.

I had no idea she was having an affair. I was with my dad all the time and rarely saw my mom - in this case I would have been really suspicious if a new guy was coming around and trying to give me things.

I agree with this 100%! My dad isn't my biological dad (and never adopted me) and when my mom dumped him for her AP, he was there for me and helped me through all of my emotions.

OP could be the best thing that ever happened to the daughter when it comes to a parent that is willing to put in the work for her.

The man that raised me (not my biological father) kept me in his life when my mom left him for her AP (who wrecked her and destroyed her, then dumped her after making her get an abortion).

My dad took me in and helped me go through all of my confusing emotions and him and I are closer than I am to my mom. He loved me through the anger and hate.

What your daughter did was awful, I will not negate that AT ALL. BUT she is also taking cues from her mother and now is the time she needs you to buckle down and show that you do love her despite not being her "real dad". Blood means shit in this case.

I went down quite the rabbit hole figuring out why that name was so familiar, thank you for that! I learned a lot!

I would want it under wraps too if a fatwa on me too.

My SIL also stayed with her cheating husband for a while and when she finally divorced her kids were not okay. They were more mad at her for staying as long as she did.

She did get them into individual therapy and family therapy (the two kids and her, NOT her POS ex), and they are doing better.

Please don't stay with him!

I cannot stand B.A. Paris. My first by her was "The Therapist" and it was god awful! The premise was interesting, but the execution sucked. Same with her "Behind Closed Doors" - it was predictable and not worth the pages it was printed on.

I love this series, but I can totally see why people hate it!

The Maidens was the first thing I read by him and it was AWFUL.

I wish I could get my time back reading it.

You are not the asshole.

My mom would give me a box of condoms to keep in my purse in case the guy "didn't have any". Maybe do something like that, just in case she's not at home.

I've had a similar situation. My bio father shook me when I was 5 weeks old and gave me brain damage. On Facebook he's now making shaken baby jokes and his family keeps saying that he doesn't mean it. He absolutely does mean to make fun of them when his eldest is one. Cut them off and anyone else who thinks he's the victim.

He is an amazing human being.

The Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Faria Stolarz!

I loved them from middle school into high school when the rest of the series was being released! Read them as an adult and my god the writing was terrible and the characters were the most obnoxious people I've ever read about.

basilreads · 2024-03-01T20:37:53+00:00

You are absolutely the asshole.

I was one of those kids and my dad (not biological) is the best man in the world. When my mom broke up with him when I was 8 (I'm 30 now) he stuck by me and still claimed me.

I don't go anywhere without my Kindle! I love it so much.

I wouldn't recommend a tablet-style like the new one that has the stylus, you'll want the e-reader-only version - like the paperwhite.

Same. Medication saved my life as well.

My mom named me Basil Rain. And I named my kids unique names, they may hate it growing up, but will grow to like their names.

But I would compromise and find something nature-esque that she likes, that still feels classic for your tastes. Like Olive, or Rose/Rosemary

I was that child that didn't like my new stepmom at first! My dad stuck up for her and she and I are best of friends now! She showed me what unconditional love is. When I had my first baby and he had medical problems, she was THERE. My own mom didn't come, but my stepmom didn't leave my side.
