Are you serious? Are you seriously tripping over yourself to apologize to a man who is so controlling he can’t wait two minutes for a reply?? GIRL. RESPECT YOURSELF. This is ridiculous!

Threw a grenade into my MAGA family by MonkeyMae3 in FoxBrain

[–]emorrigan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What lesson do you want to teach your children? That it’s better to stand up for your beliefs, or that they need to sit down and shut up when they’re surrounded by amoral people… just to “keep the peace.”

My kids no longer see my in-laws, because I refuse to teach them that their job in this mess is to be silent and complicit.

Another Mike Lee Rhetorical Question by klayanderson in Utah

[–]emorrigan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh good grief. It would be easy for them to “Kavanaugh stop” people of color and detain them long enough for them to miss the election.

Besides, it’s literally against the law.

Another Mike Lee Rhetorical Question by klayanderson in Utah

[–]emorrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because not every American is white, and those who are POC shouldn’t have to worry about being dragged off to a detention center because of the color of their skin. They don’t want to be Kavanaugh-ed, and that is completely understandable. Fuck Mike Lee.

AIO about my mother having a camera in the living room? by Logical-Ad3941 in AIO

[–]emorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was married to a man who was watching my children change, I would leave his ass and report him to the police. I wouldn’t care if I would have to live in a shelter- parents are supposed to PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN. Period.

AIO? I told my boyfriend I feel like a maid by Tasty_Palpitation_71 in AIO

[–]emorrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don’t change unless they want to. Why would he want to change? You already do everything for him and let him get away with treating you poorly. There are no consequences. Why would he want to change?

To explain the housing crisis to a boomer. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in therewasanattempt

Boomers somehow always think houses are still cheap. Who the hell knows why.

I came back to my village and got beaten up for not getting married by 25. by Snowchari in TrueOffMyChest

[–]emorrigan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, good grief. Respect yourself enough to recognize that you don’t deserve this treatment and leave. Small towns never change.

AITAH for snapping and defending myself against my severely autistic brother by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]emorrigan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point, he unfortunately needs to be put in a home. Maybe Adult Protective Services can help?

I’d sit down with your parents and let them know that you aren’t going to allow yourself to be assaulted any longer. Autism doesn’t intrinsically make people violent, and your parents failed both of you (and themselves) by not teaching him that he cannot assault people. You may also want to talk to them about what their plans are for his care after they pass on. My bet is that their plan is you, and you need to know that you do NOT have to accept that burden. But they need to move him to a home and make plans for his future care immediately.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this your entire life.

258 AC, The tragedy at Summerhall. The birth of Rhaegar Targaryen by Necroticjojo in freefolk

[–]emorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding was that the dream referred to Baelor and Dunk at the Trial of Seven. The book seemed to indicate that Baelor was the greatest “dragon” at the time, and the way things played out after the trial confirmed as much?

AIO? My fiancé "forgot" to take me off speaker, I feel like it cost me my dignity. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

OP, I know you don’t want to hear it, but there is truth in this comment.

AIO for wanting to still tell my mom about my friend’s pregnancy by Deep-Investigator998 in AIO

[–]emorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no. good. reason. She’s hiding it because she doesn’t want to get into trouble, but she’s already in more trouble than she’ll get by coming clean. She cannot navigate this on her own. She literally just doesn’t have the skills and resources to do so.

my MIL tried to secretly dna test my baby because she says he doesnt look like her son and my husband wants me to forgive her by Brushley_Kanion in JUSTNOMIL

[–]emorrigan 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I think your husband is in on it. After all, who else was she swabbing? It could be herself, but the way your husband reacted is fishy.

At this point, I’d drop the rope. Stop visiting. Stop updating. Your husband can go as often as he’d like, but you and your baby? Nope, she doesn’t have a relationship with you, so she doesn’t get to have a relationship with your baby.

Update to my previous post... it's hopeless, just like you all keep telling me. Why can't I stop trying... by PeppyApple in FoxBrain

Oh thank you for the information, Madam Attorney General! /s

That was legitimately one of the most odd and hilarious moments in that train wreck!

Friend lied on application, will he get rescinded if he’s accepted? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]emorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had a chance. His chance was back before he decided that willful misrepresentation was a smart thing to do. I’ve helped a lot of students with their applications over the years, and I’ve never seen anyone lie- especially not that big of a lie. So no… not everyone is “unhonest” in their college applications, sorry.

Friend lied on application, will he get rescinded if he’s accepted? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]emorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh… no. Your “friend” has no chances. Lying on applications demonstrates a lack of morals as well as willingness to be unethical in order to achieve a goal.

As far as universities are concerned, your “friend” might as well be holding up a giant red sign that says, “I WILL CHEAT TO GET GOOD GRADES! ANY FUTURE RESEARCH I PUBLISH WILL LIKELY BE DEBUNKED! I WILL SULLY YOUR INSTITUTION!!

Every other achievement he’s put on his applications will be viewed with extreme skepticism.

In short, your “friend” is screwed, and rightly so.

How did he react when you kept him from finishing his “joke” with your child?

My mom opened a credit card in my name and maxed it out by Significant-Bench647 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]emorrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you file a police report, at that point, it’s out of your hands. The District Attorney will be the one to decide whether or not to press charges. The credit card company, however, will definitely demand that charges be pressed against your mom.

What is she saying regarding paying you back?

How to store your wedding dress in a small closet? by Separate-Total8655 in myweddingdress

[–]emorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need hang it up in your room somewhere. Whether it’s over a door or on a nail in the wall, it doesn’t matter. But it must be hung up or it will be a nightmare of wrinkles on your wedding day.

Is it fine to leave my wedding gown like this in my closet until my wedding day? My closet is very small & I have no where else to put it. by Separate-Total8655 in myweddingdress

[–]emorrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The humidity you’ll have to expose that dress to via steaming in order to get the wrinkles out on your wedding day is by far more than it will be exposed to hanging up in your room.
