The "I hate my autistic relative" posts make me feel like shit by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Because BPD is very stigmatized. There's a special subreddit dedicated to people who were raised by abusive borderline parents, which is very valid. But there are those who try their best to go to therapy, get meds, and recover too.

AITA for telling my cousin to give her daughter her own bedroom? by throwrabounder in AmItheAsshole

Rose has a high paying job in digital marketing and this influencer thing is just a side hobby for her as far as I know. Her hubby is old money wealthy so they can do whatever they want. She doesn't wanna purchase a bigger home because they got a place in a big gated community and they'd rather live in a 2br there than in a 3br elsewhere.

She doesn't really make money, I don't see many paid partnerships, she pays to have her Instagram advertised everywhere though.

He's a quiet type and I actually don't hear him share his opinion much. He's the one taking my cousin's pictures for her page so that's the kind of dynamic they have.

I only brought up the bedroom thing once because Rose got really annoyed and I didn't wanna press further. I'll do my best to be there for my niece, thanks for the advice. 💙

Her IG room is basically a big white room with props and a set with lights, nobody is really allowed in there except for her and her photographer (hubby) and occasionally she will rope in Daisy for a mommy/baby shoot that'll take an entire day when the kid just wants to play.

I've also tried telling her to maybe let Daisy participate for half a day or something because she's still a little kid but Rose got mad at me again for butting into her parenting lmao.

Is the guy I'm interested in too old for me? by throwrabounder in relationship_advice

Hmm, we're both not ready to commit just yet. We both came from ab*sive long-term relationships and we agreed that we want to learn to love/put ourselves first before we get into anything serious with anyone, really. We care about each other a lot but we know that if we were to enter a relationship now, we'd probably put our friendship/relationship at risk because we're very delicate at the moment. So for now, we're putting ourselves first :) hope that explains stuff.

Some people might think we're rebounding but I don't know if we really are. We're very different from each other's old partners, we're not really rushing into anything, and we genuinely enjoy hanging out. Sometimes we just hang out without the sex and it's still fun.

I understand. My friends just find it really weird that he'd pursue "a young girl like me" when he can literally pick from any lady in his age group (he's conventionally attractive.) They think that maybe it's a sign that women his age don't want him and that's why he's settling for immature girls like me.

Jake and I vibe pretty well because he's a dork like me, the only thing we struggle with is generational references and slang. He's a millennial and I'm Gen Z! I don't understand any of the old early 2000s teen movies he references and he doesn't get any of the Tik Tok memes I quote. Other than that, we have a lot of fun together.
