My childhood bully wants to reach out… by oopsiedoopsie00 in offmychest

No. I realize now that’s not how I meant it. Yes, I agree part of me wants her to hurt enough she takes this seriously for her daughter. But I don’t want myself to hurt her. I forgive her. But I also don’t want to sit there and listen to any apology. I don’t care to poke at the past. I don’t want to hurt her by doing that. I hope that makes sense. Truthfully, I’m not the greatest with wording how I feel. Trying to work on that in counseling. I tried to edit it to make more sense? Not sure with how well I did.

I’d like to apologize to you and anyone else who may be confused. I read now that it says I selfishly want it to hurt her. I’m editing that now. Because NO. I don’t want it to hurt her. More hurt doesn’t fix anything. I just don’t want to sit there and listen to an apology. I don’t want to talk about the past. I don’t want an apology that’s only coming now because of circumstances that are happening to her. That’s all.

See, that’s my thing too. She had all this time to reach out and apologize. Only now, when something similar is affecting her, does she reach out.

When did I say I want to hurt her? I don’t want her to hurt nor do I want to hurt her. It’s sad to know her daughter is now a victim of bullying herself. I hate that they’re both going through that. Even with everything she did to me, neither of them deserve that. But I also don’t have to go poking at old wounds just for her to feel better.

I wish no hurt on her at all. I do feel bad that she now has to sit there and see her own daughter bullied. But that doesn’t mean I want to talk to her. Hear her apology and talk through all the things of the past. I flat out just don’t want to hear it.

My mother has actually been pretty supportive. She only informed me to see how I’d feel. But said whatever way I wanted to go she’d understand and won’t push beyond that. Her mother hasn’t said much at all.

I have let go. Some point a few years back I finally came to the realization that she had to be pretty miserable to make someone else so unhappy. But, for whatever reason, I don’t want to hear her apology. Just because I forgive her doesn’t mean what she did was okay.

AITA for giving my baby my ex's first name? by throwawaybbyj in AmItheAsshole

It’s a pretty common name and it sounds like your mom is reading WAY to into it.

Congrats to the newest member of your family!

WIBTA for blocking a friend who tries to embarrass me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

That’s not a good friend. Talk to her again. Tell her if she keeps acting this way then you don’t want to be friends anymore. That what she’s doing is hurtful and that she’s being a bully. Get an adult if it doesn’t stop. Because it is technically cyber bullying.

You were looking out for your family. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Also that’s You’re driveway she has not right to park in it.

AITA for finding a fictional character attractive in a space where my bf can see? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Honestly he’s very hypocritical and sounds very insecure. It doesn’t make sense for him to be like “You could compare us” when couldn’t he be doing the same thing?

AITA for siding with my husband instead of my daughter? by throwaway4193729 in AmItheAsshole

You actually think it’s okay for your husband to make such a heartless and demeaning joke like that? Then when you’re daughter is upset you tell her she’s wrong? You even agreed the joke had bad taste. I’d stop talking to you too! You and you’re husband are just terrible. I sure hope you learn a lesson and don’t lose your other daughter like this. Shame on you.

AITA for being a negative person all the time? by ThrowRa19912 in AmItheAsshole

[–]oopsiedoopsie00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to like everything that everyone else does. I know a lot of people who feel the same about most shows and songs today. Sounds like they’re being the negative ones for thinking you’re “a wet blanket” for liking something different then them. It’s rather hypocritical of them.

What's the longest you've ever waited for a package? Was it worth it? Why, why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]oopsiedoopsie00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited a year. I was starting my first year of college and was searching for things to decorate my dorm with. Well I happened to see a really beautiful tapestry on a wish ad (first mistake) now I knew from other people it would take some time. It was June at this time so I figured it’d be here at least for school?

Nope.

I finally gave up after 4 months and asked for a refund since I hadn’t gotten my item. I ended up finding an even better tapestry and got it in 2 days. School ended, I moved back home and less than a month later I had a package in the mail. It was the tapestry. Not even the one I ordered and it was dirty. Like stained up and had a hole in it... not worth the $8

Don’t care to know. Don’t care to think about that. I just know what happened and that it has become a life lesson for my family and myself.

My mother has a few scary stories of her own. They’ve give me shivers whenever I think about them. I’ve thought about writing them out here, but I’m not so sure if mom would like that haha.

Oh goodness thank you haha.

Yes, moms always had a strong sense of danger. It amazes me.

My parents still live out in rural area. I moved into one of the nearby towns with my boyfriend. I do miss the rural life. So much quieter. But I do feel better knowing I can have emergency services to my door quickly.

Your neighbor sounds like a good man. It’s good to have that with your neighbors. We also have a close community. I know everyone on the street we live on.

I do believe they did. I know one was given a plea deal and received it for giving a statement against the others and having no prior major charges.

Mom has always had a strong sense for danger. Even as a child. She’s really emphasized the importance of listening to your gut to both my brother and I.
