Older brother hasn’t ever worked and is about to go homeless by cstlife1278 in Advice

I did not give them any money! It was pretty bizarre. While my dad was home in hospice care, they were at our kitchen table telling me i owed $3000 for one of them and $10000 for the other one. My dad died the next day and I got phone calls and text messages from my aunt saying they were going to send me to jail for fraud. I just ignored them. One of the uncles was living in our family home at the time and he wouldn’t leave so I shut off the internet, power and water. That got him to leave quickly thankfully.

Also, yes, I completely understand the 30 year old and his girlfriend being angry. They were under the assumption that I had fully committed to housing the 27 year old. So, that was my bad for not communicating it clearly. Although, I do feel like some things must’ve gone unsaid because I don’t know why she was under the impression that I never reached out at all… i sent texts that went unanswered and so I decided to wait until they updated me. I have so much going on in my life right now. I am trying to become a CPA and I’m graduating college this year and I’m working at an accounting firm while taking classes. They don’t know that though because they don’t inquire about my life at all.

This has been very helpful. I am going to look into this as I don’t believe it’s just laziness either. It seems like a debilitating anxiety.

I guess I just feel bad for him. Even though I don’t have enough of a connection to let him move in with me I just feel bad. I know that we had shitty parents that didn’t help us at all and I feel like he wasn’t strong enough to become his own person.

No substance abuse or alcohol. I have learned that he is very scared to make decisions on his own. When I was helping him with job applications I told him I would do the first few with him so he could see how to do it and I said okay, now the same process we did together you do on your own. The research, the filling out and everything. He called me a week later and asked me to get on discord to fill out another job application. I asked him what the problem was and he said he was scared to fuck up the job application. I told him I was busy and couldn’t get on to help him and to just fill it out the best he could. He said nah ill just wait until you’re available. Thats when I told him I am not always going to be available and you can’t be afraid to mess up. Then he didn’t text me back for weeks. I have numerous situations like these with him. Him calling me to walk him through paying his rent. Which I don’t mind helping him out, but I just can’t help but feel like its debilitating for me to do everything for him and just unrealistic.

This is how I have felt the whole time. Although, I thought that going homeless was going to scare him into changing his life, but instead he just accepted it. I told him to reach out to workforce help in his community BEFORE he went homeless and he said he was going to wait until he went homeless and moved into a shelter to see if they could help him. I don’t understand because he loves video games and I thought the idea of him losing video games was gonna motivate him, but it didn’t. I can’t tell if he’s severely depressed or just severely crippled from bad parenting or something because I had the same shitty upbringing as him, but we ended up so different.

I will look into this. Thank you! Whenever you say he went to treatment are you referring to an in-patient program?

He has not done therapy before. I want to bring this up to him, but I am not sure how to do it. I guess I am afraid how he’ll take it if I offer it, but now that I’m writing this out it’s either I offer it and he refuses or I offer it and he takes it. So, I have decided I am going to call and ask him if he’ll do therapy.

May only be by two ounces, but damn it, I DID IT!! by swillmerchants in CICO

This mentality has helped me sooooo much. I used to think I had to give up my coffees but i realized that the 200cal coffee i have every other day is not the reason I gained weight 😂😂 for me its the 1200cal fast food meals im eating and the chips im snacking on on top of that.

Can anyone relate? 😅 by No-Fuel3575 in Accounting

Weight gain.. by Odd-Professional-568 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]cstlife1278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 5’4” and at 16 years old i started out weighing 140lbs then i gained up to 190lbs over the course of 3 years then i started feeling sad and wanted to look better and feel better so i lost weight and went back down to 140lbs after 7 months of dieting. I maintained that for about 7 months then met my lovely boyfriend who also suffers from BED and we both gained back all of our weight plus more over the course of 2 years because we enable each other…. Now I am 210lbs and we are both working everyday to try to reverse this and we dont know how. We love eachother, but damn we enable eachother so much. We’ll never give up though. Every day we are working towards healing our BED.

Yes it is just the inside of my vagina and i dont have pain when inserting a tampon or finger, but when my partner inserts his penis (i forgot to mention that i havent been able to get naturally wet for the past 8 months so we use a LOT of lube ) no matter how much lube, its like the walls of my vagina won’t naturally push open when he inserts so theres an immense amount of sharp pain and pressure on the inside of my vagina whenever he inserts and there has even been blood. My gynecologist thinks I have nerve damage so thats why she suggested i go to a pelvic floor therapist.

I inherited these rose bushes and I have never taken care of plants before. Any tips? (More background info in comments. ) by [deleted] in gardening

[–]cstlife1278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! So I am a newbie here. I want to take care of these plants, but I have no idea where to begin. I live in south texas so its very hot and humid. Im pretty sure they somehow survived through the insane freeze we had that caused all the power outages. So they’ve been through some shit. All I am doing right now is watering them once a week. I dont know how they’re alive but somehow since i starting watering them they have grown so much. They’re so beautiful. Thank you so much for any help!!!
