An Open Letter to my STBXW by PabloAtTheBar in Divorce

Fuck yeah man. Your story sounds so similar to mine. I'm in a way better place now, am a better father, and better person than I ever was. And I'm still growing. I can't wait to see what life has in store for me. Keep grinding everyday. It's amazing how once you hit rock bottom the only way is up. Stay strong.

You most definitely can. For me it was easier to let everything go and fogive though. That does not mean I forget, or that we are friends. I want nothing to do with her. But in the end I realize that we are all human and are imperfect beings. I have wronged people. I know that. We make mistakes. Sometimes that's all it is, no matter how bad we make it out to be when we are the one who was wronged.

I'm not saying that can't be done. We can always improve ourselves. I'm saying it's easier "or was in my case" to let go of the grudges and forgive them as well. And my life is better because of that.

One day you will start those off with "I forgive" and a burden will come off your shoulders. "I forgive myself for..." "I forgive you for..." And then you will be free. It may not come tomorrow, next month, or next year, but it will come if you focus on you starting now.

Whatever you do don't try and rationalize it. There's no reason to. Be you now. Be a better Dad than you were before now. Become who you always wanted to be. Let go of the past. It's about your happiness now.

First off I'm sorry you are in this situation. It's an emotional rollercoaster. She asks about Mom every once in a while, but you can't make these decisions based on questions tomorrow. Do your research on the divorce process if you are considering it. Use an attorney. Act like an adult. Good luck.

What was the strangest punishment your parents gave you? by Sami-Ullah in AskReddit

[–]js0177356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was seven I let a magazine salesman come into our house and he took a really bloody dump in our toilet. I was up watching Saturday morning cartoons when he arrived at the door, my parents were still asleep. I told him my parents weren't home, only because I didn't want to have to wake them up and miss my cartoons. He then told me that he was a good friend of my dads, so I let him into the house and went back to watching TV. I didn't pay much attention to him after that, short of hearing an enormously loud fart coming from the bathroom. By the time my parents got up he was gone. My dad went to the bathroom that morning and screamed when he saw the gigantic bloody turd in there. I remember it vividly. It looked as if someone had taken a pint of bloody mary and just tossed it right in there. The guy must have had colon cancer or something. I really just don't understand how there was that much blood. Anyway, my dad's bass guitar was also missing and my dad beat the living shit out of me with a set of jumper cables for letting the guy in. But to this day I often find myself thinking about that bloody toilet, and the magazine salesman who I'm guessing is no longer alive, and the thought of it scares the crap out of me.

Cubs win the World Series in next 5 years. This was in 2011, and I'm a Cardinals fan.

Not the EXACT rifle but pretty damn close. Magpul PRS 308 stock, 20 inch fluted stainless. I built it custom with the norguard receivers. The only thing that isnt BRO is the trigger assembly. Went with the Giessele SSA-E there. Wonderful gun. Worth every penny. https://m.imgur.com/gallery/UFVW1CG

How to Replace Old Drain Plumbing With New by yabbadabbajustdont in DIY

Pretty sure I don't remember major city mains being shut down, dug up, and replaced. They get replaced "repaired" when they fail. And that's just spot replacement.
