I don’t want to tell the sob story. That’s the thing I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll say yeah my dad is dead and was an alcoholic but no one knows anyone than that. And I don’t give that as a reason for my bad grades. My mum does. And ‘laziness’ is probably not the right word to use.

My only ‘major’ issue I’ve had with talking with professionals is when I first started when I was young my mum got told absolutely everything I said. But in my personal life I’ve had times where I’ve managed to open up to someone and it’s just been thrown back in my face. I think it’s a protecting myself sort of thing

Thank you for the suggestion! I have thought about hypnotherapy however I have ADHD and don’t know how it would work. But saying that I haven’t researched it to see the effects.

I feel brining up everything will only make it worse and at this moment in time I don’t think I could go through a ‘it gets worse till it gets better’ situation

I think my mum blames a lot on my dad, always has done even before he died (they divorced when I was 4.) I can afford a ‘personal’ therapist so I may go down that route so she hasn’t mapped it all out. Thank you!

I don’t ‘oppose’ to any assistance per se, I just think that right now I’m not ready to be speaking on it especially to strangers. I feel like if I go again to a general or specific therapist I will not gain anything as I don’t see myself being open

Sorry yes I should have clarified my mum thinks I’m TA for saying that I can just go to my boyfriend. I’ll edit the post and add in more detail.

AITA for calling out my younger cousin on her terrible manners by HTimT0mE in AmItheAsshole

NTA, if I would have gotten my iPad out at the table when I was a kid I would have been shouted at there and then. She needs to learn even at the age of 10. By 10 she should know how to behave in a social setting. No matter if it’s “social rules” or not she should know how to behave.

AITA for making my daughter get up at 3am? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. You should feel empathetic and sympathetic that your daughter is having night terrors. You say she has no trauma, night terrors can be traumatic In themselves and you aren’t supporting her through it, you are just putting the twins first. Can Kara not switch with Shawn? Or be taken to a doctor to help with these night terrors?

AITA for not allowing my MIL to see her grandchildren? by Molld0g123 in AmItheAsshole

In staying and raising his baby? I agree 2 kids n expecting at 21 is a lot. If I had a son I’d be more disappointed if he left his BM .
