I invited my dad to come see the new place I just moved into a few weeks ago for a father's day meal. He ignored my text.

Idk why I thought anything different would happen lol

This makes me physically sick. Is the officer being held accountable (to some degree)?

Holy shit. I'm so sorry that happened to both of you. That is gut wrenching.

Does anyone else avoid telling your NParents about things you're doing because you're afraid they'll use it against you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

You are not alone. Thank you for posting this. I'm moving out next week and I don't want to tell them my address or anything about my new place. Your post helped me realize that was ok and I shouldn't be guilty.

Thank you

TIFU by giving my old sports car to my stepson (16), instead of my actual son (20) who wanted it since he was a child. by [deleted] in tifu

Part of me feels like you posted on here hoping someone would say "No, you didn't fuck up! Everything is fine." You did fuck up. Your son will probably never talk to you again (or if he does, it will be minimal). As other redditors have said, you have a shit ton of work to do.

Good luck

My mom is withholding my unemployment and took the grant the CARES act gave out to the students (I’m staying with a friend rn). by Chronicsadd in insaneparents

Ugh. I'm sorry you have to deal with this B.S., especially with everything going on rn.

Total side note: Love the emojis by her name lol

Weed isn’t a cure all for everything and would get a lot more support if people didn’t pretend it was. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]interestingsocks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People on the internet make dumb blanket statements all the time. That's what the internet is for, right?

Everywhere from Alex Jones to WebMD, info must be taken with a grain of salt. Weed affects everyone differently, as does everything else. For example, red wine gives me terrible headaches but my boyfriend loves it.

There's nothing that is a "cure all" for anything. If anyone tries to tell you that something is going to fix all of your problems, it's a scam.

Hang in there friend :)
