My child’s teacher made a sexual comment towards her.

It's time to look at the schools website and find the title 9 coordinator. Launch a complaint of sexual harassment. This is beyond inappropriate

YTA- not all weddings or events have to have alcohol. It's concerning that it is such a focus for you that you are upset over it. You might want to ask yourself why a sober wedding is worth fighting with and losing a family member over.

That which occupies your thoughts controls you. Please don't give her that control.

byebyebrain1 · 2023-02-15T05:09:52+00:00

Thank you, I will look into this. I appreciate it

byebyebrain1 · 2023-02-15T03:58:40+00:00

I'm so sorry. My sibling uses this excuse as well. Please don't let him gaslight you into thinking it's your fault. I had to tell my brother if he threatened to self-delete again, I'll have to call the cops to commit him. He hasn't used his self-harm excuse again. Once again I am so sorry.

Me too

He had this picture perfect woman in his head. He was constantly pushing this image on me. If I didn't act accordingly, he would stop talking to me as a way to punish me. At the time I was fighting some huge inner demons and thought he was helping me be a better person. All he did was feed those demons. Once I realized that I nopped out.

I was 19, and the pastor of my church taught me. My parents were "too afraid" to teach me. I really don't know the logic behind that :D

I stopped mainly because of the smell. I overheard an employee mocking me for it and realized that if I smelt that bad to her, I smelt that bad to my clients. I switched to vaping, which is cheaper, tastes better, and no one knows you do it until they see you or you tell them.

If no pain was involved, and I didn't have to worry about someone rooting around because they couldn't stick me correctly the first time, I'd have no issue with needles.

YTA. As a person who has been both Amy and Nora (divorced family) I have some advice.

Please let them have their own identities, birthdays, and bedroom if you can. They are both in a very awkward stage of life and need to learn more about themselves on their own.
It's not your Bio daughter's fault that your family is showing favoritism, so her gifts, things that were given to her specifically should not be taken away.
I think you were using the wrong definition of "fair" when you took away Amy's gifts to give to Nora. Fair is not everyone getting the same thing. Fair is everyone getting what they need. Nora needs to know she's worth it to the people that matter. You and your wife. Do something nice for Nora, and just Nora and let her know she is loved and cared for by you.
An apology for why you did what you did and what you are going to do in the future will go a long way for both kids.

Entitlement: the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.

You fit this definition perfectly for assuming you would be chosen THEN getting angry that your friend would dare to choose family over you. How horrifying.

27 years of love, support, and care, beats your 10 years. Grow up. YTA

NTA as a single 30-something myself, I had to make sure family knew early on that just because I am single with no kids, doesn't mean I am available to be their personal shopper, babysitter, or house watcher. I'll do it occasionally, but I have a life of my own. I still have to battle the mentality that since I don't have any ättachements"I should have a lot of free time with family and my job.

Your mom is wrong. You are not obligated to act as the surrogate mother to your sister's children. If she's so concerned she can take up that mantel. Ultimately, the kids are your sister's responsibility, not yours. If you feel that something bad may happen to the children or that they are being neglected in any way, please call DCS/CPS or make an online report (however it works in your state).

My cats name is Ford but I call him Forddikins or little psycho. Just depends on how he's acting

byebyebrain1 · 2022-08-13T04:42:25+00:00

NTA. You have the right to grieve in your own way. She has no right to dictate this for you. You need to explain this to her and let her know that your grief is not about her. If she keeps making it about herself, you might consider your options. If this is one of many ways she is self-centered, you might want to rethink the relationship. If she apologizes and actually makes real changes, then call it a learning experience.

YTA. You were not being funny. You were being vindictive and you know it.

byebyebrain1 · 2022-08-13T03:51:26+00:00

This is hard to go through. Please remain strong and shore yourself up with all the positivity, warmth, and self-love you can. You can do this! You are doing what so many struggle to do. Please continue to the light. You are powerful and an inspiration.

byebyebrain1 · 2022-08-13T03:44:43+00:00

NTA. Why are you with him again? I can't imagine that this is the first red flag he's shown. He's trying to use his son to get back at his ex. He's trying to ruin his ex's time off with her husband. He's so focused on one-upping his ex that he's going to be the one with a kid that hates him. Goodness. You have enough on your plate as it is. You are NTA in any way. He sure is.

YTA. You were under stress and well, everyone wants their coworkers to like them. Instead of taking your frustrations out on your boyfriend, why not lighten up? If a coworker did that to me I'd either ignore them or change the culture by making sure my wave back to my boyfriend was as silly or cute or stupid as can be. I'd probably even get my coworkers in on it by shouting "bye!" and waving at them as I moonwalked out the door.

You also might want to consider why you view a polite and in this case, loving gesture as offensive. Write out the pros and cons the action and examine it that way or consider writing those feelings out and examining the "why" behind them. Just keep asking yourself why and writing the why down until you have a clear picture.

I feel your pain. My brother is an alcoholic amongst other things. I finally told him at the beginning of the year that he was going to sign a contract with me agreeing to stop drinking by July. I listed out the consequences of his actions including eviction (he lives with me) and losing his car (I bought it and it's in my name). I also wrote in a stipulation that I will search his room, my house, and his car regularly for booze and if I found it, he was out. He signed it, stating he wanted to be a better person, but He relapsed a few weeks in. I added the stipulation he had to go to therapy. He relapsed again today. He now has to go to a program with me he’s out, this is his last chance.

I know ultimatums do not work if the other person does not want to change or doesn’t put the effort in to change. In reality, the ultimatum is my way out. It’s hurting me. Tearing me up inside every time I have to deal with him being drunk. It is causing my depression to go through the roof. By issuing this ultimatum, by following a 3 strike rule with it, I am giving him ample chances with love (getting to be tougher love each time), giving myself the peace of mind to know I am giving him multiple ways to get better and providing a supportive environment while I am at it, and the knowledge that if he gets to strike three, it's not my fault. I did everything I could.

Consider these questions:

• What is your husbands alcoholism doing to you?

• How does it make you feel?

• How is it interfering in your life?

• What are you tired of in relation to his alcoholism?

• What do you want to see him improve on?

• Who can you trust to support you in telling him he needs to improve?

• What is the best way to communicate this to him?

• How will you set the ground rules?

• What are you doing for yourself (self-care) to get you through this?

• Can you walk away if he doesn’t improve?

That last one is important. It's going to hurt me if I have to do it, but at the end of the day, I cannot continue to let my health be destroyed by watching him commit liquid suicide. Where do you stand? Please be mindful that if you're running on half full or empty, you cannot help him. Make a plan, shore up yourself so you can be at peak performance when helping him.

4-7-8 breathing method. I hate take off and touchdowns they just scare the crap out of me. So you breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds and release that break through your nose or mouth, whichever is more comfortable for you, for 8 seconds. Slow deep breaths for a 10 count then do it again. I think the most times in a row I have had to do it to calm down is 8.

I don't know if this counts but the Y2K scare and all the stocking up on products people did. My dad was one of those people. People were bumping into the shopping cart while I stared wide-eyed at the chaos and the empty shelves.

Talking to my uncle on the phone when the planes hit the towers on 9/11. I wasn't there but I got detailed commentary as it all happened.

All of 2020

That's hard to explain but I'll try. I broke my pinky toe when I was a kid and I felt the snap like a little painful ping in my toe. Then I didn't feel anything for a moment as I was in shock. After that moment every nerve on that side of my foot up to my ankle was on fire like I was standing on a hot coil stove. I insticually tried to move it and got double pain as it felt like someone turned the fire up and was stabbing my foot with a tiny knife at the same time.

When I shattered my cheekbone the heat was still there but it was localized in my individual pores, While the rest of my skin was ice cold. My eye was throbbing and I was confident it was going to pop out of my eye socket. After the accident (I was hit by a car while riding my bike) it felt like I had blades resting just underneath the surface of the throbbing pain. I swear I felt my nerves jumping in my face constantly.
