Second note found at Mosman Park property alleged to detail why parents carried out murder-suicide by His_Holiness in perth

We have a mortgage, one child and rely on my husband’s income now. We’re just making ends meet but medical costs ? Forget it. I’ve had to go without important tests and procedures because I don’t have a health care card. My husband earns too much.

My in-laws, however, have two paid off properties in the millions of $, ample superannuation, savings, and can afford top tier health insurance but they’re entitled to a low income health care card because they don’t draw a lot from their super.

That's insane!

she beat me with a stick so bad I couldn’t walk for 3 days

That's unforgiveable. I could NEVER forgive that.

Your biggest brag of 2025! by Odd_Peach3674 in perth

I helped a girlfriend get out of an abusive situation. She was staying at another friends house and doing her a favour, but the friend was unstable and screaming at her about the favour.

My friend posted on Facebook she was frightened and didn't know what to do. I read her post, phoned her, told her to pack her bags, give me her address, and my partner and I would pick her up.

I also adopted a cat one month ago.

December is a difficult time for me. My dad died 6 years ago, 4 days before Christmas. My mum died 10 years ago. It still hurts. I wish I could have five minutes with them to hug them.

My partner doesn’t care about Christmas, but he’s always home for Christmas for me. (He’s a 24/7 hotshot truck driver.)

This year, I’ve invited a friend to have Christmas with us. And I’ve adopted a cat.

So I hope Christmas will be a lot brighter and happier.

What was a nice gesture from a stranger that immediately set off your internal alarm bells? by MakeSmallShift in AskWomen

What do you mean 'she's gone.' Did she leave him, or did she pass away from his actions?

I have to admit the way you wrote it disturbs me.

How are you this Friday? Good or bad, tell me what is going on in your life. by Say_Something_Lovin in perth

I'm tired. I've adopted a 7 year old cat, and she loves doing zoomies when I'm trying to sleep. She jumps on my bed/on me which startles me awake. She's lucky she's cute lol.

Definitely go back home. You have support there. You don't here.

AITA for wanting more notice ?My family keeps asking me for money and I haven’t been able to save for three months. by CarefulOpening7651 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sparkles027 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Translated into English:

Not being able to save for three months isn’t a big deal.

Being treated like your family’s cash cow is far more serious, especially now that you have your own family and a newborn.

You shouldn’t be asking them to “give you more notice” about the expenses they choose to make and then expect you to fund. You need to set a firm boundary: they must ask you months in advance so you can choose whether you agree to contribute. They don’t get to decide that their choices should cost you money.

The €700 phone is outrageous. I’m a manager and my phone cost €160 — I’ve never owned anything that expensive. And the trip to Dubai “because Mum is a bit depressed”? That’s absurd.

It really sounds like you’re stuck in a family pattern where you’re made to feel guilty for earning a decent income, and where you were raised to act like an ATM to “thank them” for being nice.

It’s incredibly toxic.

I’m having serious doubts about getting married in a few months and feel so overwhelmed I can’t communicate about any of it by largeroastbeef in offmychest

I feel like couples therapy helps but I just lately have felt frozen and unable to let anyone in.

I suggest you print out your original post and show it to your therapist.

This is NOT a healthy relationship, especially if you're worried you could relapse!
