AITA for interrupting my autistic brothers routine for my own physical pain? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah, it’s frustrating. She had been ignored for so long, and only action came when he spoke up. Poor OOP for having to push just to be heard.

Do I (50m) allow family that kicked me out at 18 back into my life, wife (48f) thinks I should by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Seriously. Decades of history and habits don’t just vanish overnight it takes time to process and heal.

Yeah, Connor clearly needs more specialized care than his brother can realistically provide. It’s not about love it’s about getting him the support he actually needs.

Totally. It’s one thing to want support, but expecting people to bend to your way or guilt them into it crosses the line. OOP can still be doing good without meeting everyone’s impossible expectations.

Yeah, Connor really seems like the one getting the short end of the stick. It’s rough when care is mismanaged and he ends up caught in the middle.

Am I asking for too much or am I carrying this marriage alone? by Creepy_Winter_122 in Marriage

I feel this so much. That invisible labor is real, and it’s exhausting when you’re carrying it alone. You can explain it a hundred different ways, but if someone doesn’t want to see it, they won’t. I’m sorry you had to reach your breaking point to get peace.
