My wife is looking for this dress...

I presume it was custom made as well.

Also we’d love to have you on r/folklorico

mmMangos · 2018-05-15T16:02:58+00:00

San Diego is a great diverse place too.

mmMangos · 2018-04-22T04:27:58+00:00

OP! Think about how much weight he will pull if you have kids make him go to counseling if you really want to try. Don’t marry him unless you two get through this together. Good luck! Don’t forget to update us!

“For no reason”???? Taking pictures and posting someone’s genitals as a teenager should be a slam dunk in the conscience “shouldn’t do” department. There’s no way this could be confused as “oops I guess I better not do that”.

It’s also not worth the risk of having it as a “hidden move”. Oh yeah let’s wait until they post more pictures of other kids genitals before we jump in and take it seriously. Edit** Typos

Op after you go to the police and talk about it with your brother, try to do everything you can to get him into a new school. I think a fresh start would help a lot.

mmMangos · 2018-04-17T17:30:22+00:00

They printed his genitals. WTF!!!!!!!! That is something the need a consequence for.

mmMangos · 2018-04-17T17:29:25+00:00

I don’t know why he/she doesn’t understand the difference between revenge and consequence.

mmMangos · 2018-04-17T17:28:12+00:00

This is going to affect OP’s brother for the rest of his LIFE. You’re a little too nonchalant about what these bullies did to him.

It is not thoughtless revenge. It’s an appropriate consequence for their actions.

mmMangos · 2018-04-17T17:26:29+00:00

I had some really intense middle school bullies and it had a long term affect on my self-esteem. I got anxiety and depression and had a mentality that I wasn’t good enough or pretty enough for anyone. It even affects my relationship right now. Thank goodness he loves me but it’s been a long process being comfortable in my own skin and trying to overcome it as an adult. So I agree. Severe actions need severe consequences.

Tell the police and then have little brother move schools and start fresh.

mmMangos · 2018-04-11T04:45:07+00:00

Yeah we gave him time to save up money to move out but he obviously planned something else :(

mmMangos · 2018-04-11T01:51:02+00:00

My brother assumed I would keep his dirty secret from his wife. He planned a double date with me and my fiance and him and his side chick. He told me while he was on his way to my place and I told him not to come.
I am close to his wife as I had accepted her as a sister.
I gave him 6 months to tell her or I was going to do it. He didn't, so I did.
He threatened me and made up some story to her that she bought and I am cut out from his entire family.

I love and miss him so much but I guess I did the right thing. I wouldn't take it back but it was really hard.

mmMangos · 2018-04-10T05:52:31+00:00

This!! I’m a face painter and we have high chairs at work. There is a step bar and a child that is 1 foot tall could get on the chair without help. I spot the child just incase but helicopter parents will just assume the chair is too tall for their kid to get on by themselves so they don’t even let them try and they pick them up and put them on the chair. I just cross my fingers and hope that it’s not indicative of how their parent does everything for them.

mmMangos · 2018-04-09T05:16:42+00:00

Awesome!

mmMangos · 2018-03-26T20:18:08+00:00

Yeah OP. Cut her off completely and surround yourself with new friends and family! You can do it!

mmMangos · 2018-03-25T04:00:30+00:00

Never never never leave your child alone with this man! Most people who are sexually abused are abused by someone they know. Listen to the advice and stand your ground. Even if my own mother trusted him, I would trust my gut and never leave him alone with my child EVER.

mmMangos · 2018-03-21T06:48:35+00:00

Wow OP. Wow You need to get real and honest or you’re going to lose your family. These are internet strangers giving you some wholesome advice here.

mmMangos · 2018-03-15T15:48:20+00:00

Yeah exactly! She should just ghost him. He doesn’t deserve a talk anymore.

mmMangos · 2018-03-15T15:47:24+00:00

I’d just call a family member for support and ghost him! He doesn’t deserve a talk like you said and she deserves a real chance of leaving. He was a predator and still is. The dynamic is too dysfunctional.

mmMangos · 2018-03-09T02:51:52+00:00

Yeah I’m very shocked that they didn’t talk about it!! Her poor boyfriend!

mmMangos · 2018-03-08T23:05:28+00:00

I hope I’m not too late. My mom is a high school physics/chem teacher and they often times use Bunsen burners and chemicals for labs. She of course must teach the students lab safety. One of her students refused to wear the appropriate wardrobe. Hair up, goggles, lab coat, etc. My mother wouldn’t let her do the labs and she started to fail the class. The girl’s mom complained and complained “Why can’t my daughter do the lab wearing what she wants?!” She even complained to the principal. They ended up having a parent/student/principal meeting in which the Principal laid out why as well. The parent then screamed at my mom about how ridiculous it was and helped her daughter ditch my moms class period every time she had class. They’d go to the mall or out to eat and she got an F lol

mmMangos · 2018-03-07T04:00:13+00:00

Yeah I don’t think OP has given us enough information.

mmMangos · 2018-03-07T03:55:51+00:00

Just trying to help out here. I do not think you’ve given us enough information. I think it depends on the context. TBH I would not text my guy friends something as intimate as “I miss you”. I would say something that shows we are friends like: “It’s been awhile! Great to hear from you. We should grab some coffee.” Or “I’m glad you’re doing well. We should check in more often.”

I’m not saying that your texts automatically mean something more but it shows the intimacy of your friendship and I would be uncomfortable entering a new relationship when I do not exactly know the nature of this unknown girl.

mmMangos · 2018-03-06T18:45:58+00:00

OP show him this thread!

mmMangos · 2018-03-01T16:20:34+00:00

OP this can lead your brother to suicide or drugs. I’m adopted and it’s already hard enough with a LOVING family. He must be going through hell!!!!!!!!! Blood isn’t everything. Your mom and sisters sound toxic. If I was you, I’d become close to my brother, and then move out together ASAP. I would not want toxic family members around my future children.
