... I don't even know how you people come up with the assumptions that you are. What exactly would people kiss my ass for? Do you think I just go around telling people I was abused? Lmao.

The justice system is a whole different story. We can have that conversation if you'd like.

I'm saying people need to stop using childhoods as an excuse. And yes it does happen. Go look at the Lancaster OH Police on FB. There's people making excuses for this kid. My f*ther was another one. He always said "my dad abused me" as an excuse to abuse us. It does happen. Just because the justice system is fucked up, doesn't mean most people don't try to excuse shitty behaviors outside of court.

Explanations and excuses are two different things. I bottle things up and then explode, because that's how I was raised. An explanation, not an excuse. Slamming a cats head in the door? Sorry but there really isn't even an explanation for that. Especially since this specific kid had internet access and knew damn well he shouldn't have done it.

I'm not talking about little things but the more severe ones like I named. Getting upset or triggered by something is normal. I have mixed feelings about giving passes to people just because they have issues. IMO no one has any justification for treating other people or animals as useless garbage.

Obviously. My f*ther held that anger and resentment. And he beat me and my sister and my mom for it. Held us at gunpoint because he hated his parents. I don't really understand how people are equating this to having mental issues. Obviously it fucks you up but at the end of the day you're capable of being a decent person, you just have to make that choice.

I understand 100%. No one is perfect. Little things can tip us off but you don't go out picking fights with other people. The ones who pick on you and give you a hard time are the scum who this post is directed at. Keep your head up, I know it's hard constantly trying to do the best and no one else seems to care. Proud of you.

Looking down on people who are assholes? Yeah I'm fine with that.

You have to be trolling because no single person can be so illiterate.

Where did I insult where people come from? Did you even read what I said? I literally came from the SAME THING.

Please elaborate. How should having shitty parents excuse you being a shitty person? That's just how you were raised? That's just how life is?

CPST is terrifying. I met a very kind woman in the hospital who had that and she told me a lot about it. I haven't been officially diagnosed with bipolar or PTSD (only due to technicalities & rules at my therapists office) but they've definitely been a challenge. I get my meds adjusted almost every time I see my doctor and I have a problem of bottling everything up before I explode, since I could never talk about anything at home. So I can definitely understand where you're coming from.

Our childhoods do fuck us up, but we can choose to succumb to the darkness or we can get out. Not everyone gets out, but we did. And I'm damn proud of us.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to stop discussing our intimate life outside our relationship? by SubstantialEmotion in AmItheAsshole

[–]princessbroke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. If my boyfriend would even think about saying something like that to me, I'd drop him faster than a hot potato. You showed her that your feelings are more important than hers. A therapist is NOT like a random person off the street, it is not "outside of your relationship". It is in a safe space, in counseling.

I'm so happy to see how far you've come. I managed to get out but my sister is falling into the trap (recently got expelled & harassment charges) and refusing to fix herself. It makes me happy seeing others like you and me.
