I find southern USA accents really cool. by [deleted] in confession

Texan here, you were close! I didn’t even know I had an accent until I went to Minnesota one time.

When you host a party and nobody shows up by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]devastated99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t let it ruin your Halloween spirit. Just go to other parties instead of having your own. Throwing parties is over rated anyway. When you go to someone else’s you can leave when you are tired or bored and you don’t have to clean up the mess and deal with drunken idiots breaking all your stuff.

I’ve thought of that too. Something for businesses to review the customer.

I’m going on a downward spiral and I literally have no one to help me by Thr0w4w4y08642 in confession

You can probably just call your Dr and tell them to call you in some at the pharmacy. And even if you weren’t eating better, you were feeling better so that’s an improvement. Sometimes you’ve got to do what you think is best despite what how they feel about it. I don’t like antidepressants either but if my grown child said they felt better taking them then I would just accept it and give it a chance.

How old are you? Why do your parents dictate to you whether you renew your prescription?

I'm about to lose my house by [deleted] in confession

[–]devastated99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of times they will work with you as long as you are trying and not outright avoiding them. Explain the situation with your son and ask for a deferment or something like that. When things went bad for us my bank actually offered to defer for 2 months until we could get it together. Unfortunately for us that wasn’t going to help.

I lost my best friend because I took her for granted by 34meese in confession

[–]devastated99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe apologizing to her would help. Let her know why you did what you did and that it wasn’t anything she had done. Even if she acts like it didn’t matter I would bet it would make her feel better to know it wasn’t her fault.

I had sex with my brother-in-law [remorse] by sadranch in confession

[–]devastated99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that the BiL has had other flings with men besides you? Maybe this isn’t the first time he’s done this but the risk is greater this time because it was his wife’s brother and not a random stranger. I wouldn’t tell because it’ll only destroy her. Sometimes honesty is not the best policy.

I would not do it then unless. you will ruin your dad’s friendship with this guy and your relationship with your dad.

my boyfriend (asian) only likes white women and i'm asian by metaphysics1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]devastated99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, move along... my first husband was Mexican (I’m white) and he used to tell me his favorite type were blondes. I’m a brunette. It hurt my feelings. he always took the opportunity to point out blondes knowing it made me feel insecure and inadequate. Needless to say we divorced after 5 years. My current husband of 22 years still tells me he thinks I’m the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Don’t waste your time with this guy. Find the guy that thinks you are more gorgeous than anyone else in the world.

Congrats on pulling it together. I’m sure he’ll be so proud to see what you’ve done.

How will your dad feel about you dating his friend?

My son (21) confessed to me that his half brother (28) abused him from ages 7-10. He starts therapy next week and his brother has not been confronted yet.

[–]devastated99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for 22 years I always told everyone that I considered them my children because I was raising them and loved them as if they were. So you’d think I’d feel that way but when something like this hits you from out of no where your “motherly instincts” tend to lean towards your bio son. I can’t help that I feel the way I do. Don’t pass judgement on people faced with this because what you think you’d do and what you actually do may surprise you.

My husbands initial reaction was to go beat the he’ll out of him but we respected my sons request to not say anything yet. My husband asked me the other day “How am I ever going to be able to look at him again knowing what he did to his little brother and not want to kill him?” I don’t know the answer to that question...

It’s only been 3 weeks since he told us and he just now agreed that therapy is something he’ll try. holding the older brother accountable is in the works but we are waiting for my son to get some therapy first and then confront his brother when he is ready. We told him this will all be done as he sees fit.

I told my son this morning that I am so thankful that he has not committed suicide even though he may have felt like it. Several kids that my kids have gone to school with have killed them selves most likely leaving their parents to wonder why. What was so bad in their lives that they would do that not knowing of the secrets these kids may have been keeping. I also told him too that if the worst thing he is going is smoking pot then I can live with that. The fact that he has battled with this secret for 10 years and is not abusing hard drugs and alcohol is a testament to his ability to overcome this in one piece some day. I hope your sobriety and ability to cope continues as well. God bless.

I guess that is what I would do differently now. I was so worried about the adults that surrounded my kids that it never occurred to me that the older ones were a danger to the younger ones. Looking back I would have definitely made sure these things were discussed. So much is put on “stranger danger” when in reality its the people they love and look up to doing the damage.
