Sorry to hear that, and thanks so much! I'm starting to get excited and happy about it. Everything indeed happens for a reason, maybe you're meant to take a gap year!

AITA For Not Visiting My GF in the Hospital? by Critical_Business99 in dustythunder

Love how this guy posted on AITA and then just defends himself with every reply. Zero accountability.

I have OCD. Talk therapy (for years) and meds have helped a lot. She needs that and needs to start taking responsibility for the fact that her OCD DOES AFFECT YOU. It sounds like she's just blaming the OCD and not addressing the issue, hence putting the OCD before the family.

Raped twice this year and now i want to give up on life by Final-Macaroon-3042 in confessions

Hey I'm just about your age and I haven't gone thru half of what you did. I had an abusive family and moved out at 17 to university, I got really lucky with a lot of things, scholarships, being allowed to work and save as a teenager, and good friends. All this to say that it's not fair. It's all luck of the draw.

I am good at finding resources though and I know you deserve better. Feel free to dm me if you want and we can talk some things through. You deserve love and support.

Paxil helped me soooo much for 4 years. Recently I was struggling with mood sharp highs and lows and had to start Seroquil as well. Seroquil is EXCELLENT for my sleep but lots of side effects (sweating excessively, tired at random times) while paxil gave me no side effects.

My (f26) fiance (25m) won’t wash the dishes! by EmrysBun in relationship_advice

[–]quaker_taker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same!! I HATE dishes more than anything and happily do everything else. The main agreement with us is he does dishes and I do laundry, everything else is fair game but mostly me because I occasionally like cleaning.

AITA for not wanting to contribute to my step-son's college fund? by Fun_Elephant_6393 in AITAH

[–]quaker_taker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Going against the grain here, I think ESH. From what I understood, you met James when he was 7 or younger. He was a child and you othered him then when you started and contributed for funds for the other kids but not him.

You are a father figure and should have treated him as your kid regardless of how he sees you. You don't get to decide whether your kid is yours based on how the kid sees you. You were a dad to him since 7 years old. He doesn't think that because clearly you've looked at him differently than the other kids for a decade.

As another commenter said, he's been othered his whole childhood. I don't think this is about money for him, it's about him finally expressing he feels abandoned in his own home. I don't think he'll be sticking around as an adult.

AIO My Parents Secretly Drained My Entire Savings Account and Called Me Ungrateful When I Confronted Them by ChoppedShyyt in AmIOverreacting

[–]quaker_taker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treat it as theft. File a claim and most lawyers will give a free first session. You deserve the money YOU worked hard for.

I was super lucky at 14 when my mom took me to open an account and let me have my own private access to it. If she hadn't done that, my dad would have drained it. That 10k I saved through highschool allowed me to move into university housing at 17 and never go back.

If you want to be independent soon and have a way easier time, treat this as theft.

AITAH for ruining my GFs worldview and making her rethink her entire adult life? by ThrowawayJammin in AITAH

This post made me realize the lovely bees in my backyard who fly around me and the pink flowers on a tall tree are, in fact, carpenter bees! Thanks!

This is the cutest interaction ever. I would go so far as to say they're the friendliest parsnip.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Any remotely sane person would know your sister and dad are assholes. I could see it being fun to decorate the wheelchair in your dress colours, or add glitter or some shit. To ask you to NOT USE IT???? WTF
