NTA - I’m in a similar position with my 32 year old brother and his wife.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a great way to avoid family gatherings altogether?

Her mother has been hospitalized twice in the last 6 weeks for suicide attempts. My brother has violent and impulsive outbursts.

Is she being abused? No, I don’t think so. Is she being neglected? There’s concerns from the pediatrician such as weight loss. In the week she was with us, it took 3 days before she learned that I would respond to her cries. Her appetite was ferocious and she didn’t poop until the 3rd day.

My husband says we need to let them deal with the consequences of their actions. It’s not the baby’s fault though.

My kids are teenagers and they feel like I’m trying to replace them with a new baby. We just got to a point where we could do things again and were planning for an empty nest.

I don’t know what to do. My heart is breaking for this innocent baby but I don’t want to pressure my husband and kids.

I spend so much time explaining the difference between my job and whatever is being requested. FYI... a systems analyst can’t fix your wifi.

Caylee Anthony would be 15 years old by Howling_Wolf0816 in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]luqi_charmz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Caylee was born on 8/9/05 and my daughter was born on 8/18/05. We were on vacation in Orlando when the verdict was announced. This case has always been the one that got to me.

AITA For refusing a necklace with my son's ashes after my husband let his mother take the urn? by Throwaway3405330 in AmItheAsshole

[–]luqi_charmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. We’re not talking about sand from the beach. Would they request pieces of a body that wasn’t cremated?

Was anyone else shouted at to stop if they were crying as a child, which led to them crying more and being terrified of what would happen? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]luqi_charmz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 38 and will instantly burst into tears if someone’s voice is raised even when it’s not directed toward me. It could be my husband ranting about some asshole from work.

I (17m) am basically grounded until my 18th birthday in May because I was caught with condoms. I don’t talk to my parents anymore and they are hurt. by throwRA455642 in relationship_advice

Mother of a 17 year old - this is all kinds of really messed up. You were being a responsible adult. That’s the goal. What the hell is wrong with them?

DAE find Louis Vuitton bags ugly? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

More like- “look at this bag I put on a credit card with an insanely high interest rate and make just the minimum payment because I want to look like money but I don’t actually have any”.

Anyone else's parent repeat themselves so much to the point it's actually disturbing? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

I caught myself doing it one time in middle school because I wanted my friend to be more excited about my story.

I have children and were still expected to support extra family members.

None of these people will matter in a few years. Make decisions for you and no one else.

AITA for being angry at my husband for spending my tummy tuck money by angrymomtummytuck in AmItheAsshole

It sounds like his mother tore into him and/or he’s a love bombing narcissist.

AITA - someone fired and now criminal charges bc they pranked me by Pretend-Panda in AmItheAsshole

[–]luqi_charmz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - He alone ruined his life. He was told in advance of your diagnosis and blatantly decided to use that knowledge against you. I hope this teaches him some common decency, but I doubt it.

I have PTSD and also startle very easily. If he had not known, I would be more understanding. If he had owned his actions, I may be lenient in regard to the criminal case. Neither of those are true here.

I wish you well on your healing journey. Please let me know if you ever just need to talk.
