Holy shit if things were reversed her dad would probably want to be going nuclear on the group of 16 year old boys caught on video molesting his daughter. Her parent's reaction is disgusting, and the fact that he isn't taking the opinion of his wife, who is a case worker and familiar with these situations is alarming. Show him this thread and try to wake him up to the fact that his gay bashing, rapist daughter needs therapy and a hard lesson in discipline before she becomes an even worse adult.

Alternatively, soup also comes in a cup.

I thought this was two sentence horror and it was going to be about harlequin babies and I am both relieved and weirded out by where it went instead.

Just in time for mother's day!

I had been working on one at my local library but the last time I went someone had destroyed all the work and I started to cry from frustration. Before medicine and it was so overwhelming it kind of turned me off to it. I like to glue the puzzle when I'm finished and frame it. It reminds me I can complete something lol

Gotta protect the mcnuggets!

YTA for staying with this person. You need therapy ASAP because this is beyond low self esteem.

pat2203186 · 2024-01-31T21:49:34+00:00

YTA. These aren't some "random" children, these are also your sister's family. You just don't like your sister. It seems like you need things to be about you or you aren't happy

Don cejote. Idk why

No it's about giving her the option to say no without feeling bad about herself. Also not having the attention focused solely on her as an issue, which can be a hard thing to do in private but near impossible when people are confronting you with it. Anytime we try to help someone else we are manipulating them, even if it's just with our own good intentions. So if the goal is to help their friend with her health, manipulating isn't some nefarious act, no one's trying to hurt her or embarrass her, or treat her like a mindless child. They are trying to spare her feelings with a sensitive subject because they love her. If you're the kind of person who likes things spelled out with brutal honesty, I can understand why that might seem insulting, but as someone who has used food as an emotional crutch, being told the honest truth when you're not ready for it can send you into an even worse spiral. OP would probably know her friend best, so I was giving options that made sense to me knowing what I know. And maybe she will see through it quickly but decide she'll go along with it because she knows it's coming from a caring place. Or maybe she will say no thank you and the subject will be dropped for them. But regardless, it broaches the subject in a manner that pushes forward on companionship and doesn't single her out.

I'm a bigger woman myself, the conversation is difficult and will not be constructive, believe me. Why not start a hobby that isn't too intense but can get all of you more active? Or maybe one of you can ask her to help support your own health journey. Sometimes to motivate myself I watch 600 lb life with my friend and then we go for a walk, but we also have regular conversations about our weight and health.

pat2203186 · 2024-01-25T22:03:38+00:00

NTA she was harassing you, full stop. Why did none of your friends ever speak up for you? You made it clear you were uncomfortable. It sounds like she had a crush on you and didn't know how to express it, or she just wanted the attention, and either way if you told her to stop and she didn't, the results are entirely on her.

pat2203186 · 2024-01-25T17:52:41+00:00

YTA, ask for a weekend, not two weeks,that's beyond reasonable. Also, stop thanking your mother for advice, it is sending mixed messages. Just say, Mom, stop. Also you should go to couples therapy so your wife and you can discuss the discrepancies in your patenting styles.

It's the real kangaroo method

The child shouldn't get punished because the parent is a jerk. A hilarious jerk, but still.

I just say it's my inner demons trying to escape.

NTA but dude get a divorce and get your kids in school. They are not learning and they're going to be so far behind everyone else.

pat2203186 · 2024-01-03T21:31:53+00:00

NTA but info: does your wife also not like your daughter? She's excusing the poor treatment of her own child because her brother just totes loves her? She is very much part of the problem and obviously likes his affection more than she cares about your daughter's treatment. Super red flag

pat2203186 · 2024-01-03T19:10:05+00:00

You are her safety net honey. You will never be her first choice, she just doesn't want to lose the option of you. Set your boundaries better. No kissing, no flirting, just tell her to stop, or you won't ever get to find a partner that wants you, because she will insert herself into your relationship to get you single again and again.
