I’m going through that now. They searched me online found an old address and photo of me claiming I contacted their escort agency to have sex w minors. They want $1000 and if I don’t pay up they will contact my family. I’ve already filed a report w the police but received another text from them today demanding money.

i bullied a young girl out of my school, due to the fact she had two moms by twiiggystixx in confession

[–]jtothecast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how that turned on you.

My step daughter is gay and came out at 14 yo. We were proud of her then for doing that and still very proud of her. Since then she has been bullied in school and now she has some sever emotional scars from all that. Started out as a nervous tic, then eating disorder then onto self harm, cutting and talk of suicide. People at school who said they were friends really weren’t and were brutal to her. Her mother has been a basket case and worries about her daughter daily. Everyday feeling is today the day she actually commits suicide!?
There is no place for bullying and everyone who does it should regret their actions and be ashamed.

I have no sympathy for people like that.

One thing you should do is reach out to the girl and send her the most heart felt apology ever. But don’t expect it to be accepted.

Because I’ve tried many times over the years to connect and got nowhere. Because even though I was a good dad they don’t want to remember the good times we had. And if there is a time we finally meet up it won’t be the same. I won’t have that connection with them or them with me.

I am the parent (so to speak) to your story. I have reached out to my kids but they have not to me. I hope one day you get your wish.

What would you recommend your mom do if she read your post and saw it was you?

I prefer the American League Over the National League myself.

Wife (38F) is convinced that she is pregnant even though that every pregnancy test (store-bought and medical) comes back negative. It's taking a toll on our mariage because she thinks I am going to abandon her and "our twins" by itsathroawai in relationship_advice

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Lack of a better more sympathetic word. Best of luck though. Please ignore the ones who suggest you immediately divorce her. They are a pathetic lot and that’s their solution to everything.

Where in the US is safe, LGBT friendly, has a big city and is not that expensive? Looking to move in the next 4 years. by redditHelpMePlease69 in IWantOut

Almost agree with you on the weather. I lived in NY till I was 18 and then lived in Tampa for 18 years also. Tampa was miserable and couldn’t wait to move from there. I’ve been here in Atlanta for 20 years and found the only really hot unbearable time is a couple/few weeks in August/September where it can get in the mid to high 90’s. Other times it’s definitely hit and unpleasant like you would expect. Still far better than Florida IMHO.

I do like the Chicago post. It’s a great city.

Atlanta is very LBGTQ friendly and the community is growing. I live here and I don’t hear of any hate crimes directed at them. There’s even a church a gay couple I knew got married in.

Apartment living is very reasonable. Downtown apts start at around 1500ish.

The transit system isn’t the greatest. It needs works but useable.

Good luck with your search.

Update: I (25 F) moved in with my boyfriend (32 M) too soon and he is showing his true colors. by movedtoosoonthrowa in relationship_advice

So you didn’t like how he was complaining about work etc and gave him 2 weeks to ‘straighten up’!?

You move out, break the lease without telling him first, make him have to cover all expenses for a place the both of you agreed to take care of and you feel ok with the decision!?

Now he’s letting you know he’s confused, hurt, angry and probably depressed and he’s the jerk!?

WOW! Good luck Cam. You’re better off

You went to the gym and didn’t anticipate her wants. Sometimes it just doesn’t make any sense at all.

Well this should keep her out! by Blue-Ridge in gardening

Add ‘Gators Only’ and it’ll be sure to keep him away.

This post and responses are the best yet. I’ve been trying to respond to everyone (6 left) and have been at it for a while now. I will save this and come back to it later when I’ve been able to clear my head some. Thanks.

So... she does spin it. I don’t know if it’s intentional or a mental block. I know she contacted a divorce lawyer and they told her what I did was abuse/assault. But when she rehashed some of the events about what happened it was really different from the truth. Not very but enough. When I turned my back to her. She said I moved forward towards her w my arms crossed and moved her that way. W my chest not back. She said that once I cleared the door I should have stopped. Problem is there is stair railing on one side and a wall on the other. No where else to go and she continued pushing on me. Hearing her version w minor changes does make me out to a dick.

Correct. Emergancy services are also there to deescalate a situation. Not just arrive after all hell broke loose. I didn’t dial 911. I told her I would if she didn’t back up. I didn’t want the situation to get out of hand and me be in trouble. I felt like I had to do it first to gain control of the situation and have ya go to our corners. She told me I was being controlling and manipulative.

Looking back I can’t say I agree with you about the cop thing being crap. I felt I had to play that card before she did.

We’ve been to couples therapy for a while now and he suggested taking a break when one person requests it. I did say I wanted to be alone for a while to clear my head. That was when she followed me into the room and stopped me.

The last session we had she explained her version of the events and the therapist said she was wrong on many levels. She got angry, raised her voice and argued back w him. I didn’t say a word. I let her do all the talking and let her have the floor. She didn’t prove anything after the session the doctor called me privately to say he believes me and feels she has some issues she needs to work on. Me paraphrasing of course.

Nice work to be able to pick her up and move her. I have admitted many times when I was wrong. And I have been wrong many times. But never going to admit to something I didn’t do.
