2024.05.16 10:56 Longjumping-Pick-706 If Only I had Known

My apologies in advance if this is long. I was in an abusive relationship/marriage for 23 years. This incident happened when we were still friends. If I had I only known the truth when this had originally happened, I would have been saved from decades of emotional, psychological, verbal, physical, sexual, and physical abuse. (And currently post-separation abuse).
The cast: me, my ex Bub (Beelzebub), my ex-crush B, Bub's gf M, Bub's bf V (It will make sense when you read it.)
TW: Suicide, self-harm, abuse
We met through a mutual friend. We became really close really quickly. He was 17 and I was 19. We would talk for hours about anything and everything. I was raised around domestic abuse, and my family was highly dysfunctional. I suffered severe trauma as a child being raised in this environment with an abusive father and brother. (His namesake). By the time I met Bub, I had been having mental health struggles for many years. To deal with the trauma I still suffered from I would self-harm by cutting frequently. I also had been in a psychiatric hospital twice for suicide attempts. I told Bub about all of this, and he knew that I still did it. He was very supportive and would get really sad when I harmed myself.
Since we were just friends we would talk about our crushes. He had a crush on a girl from high school and I had a crush on one of my ex's B, who was also my high school crush. We only dated for 3 weeks, and we decided we were better as friends then lovers. Though we did have a FWB thing going on when we were both single. He really talked up his crush and I really talked up mine.
Two months into our friendship he got a gf. He told me she was a girl he knew from his home city named M. He claimed her mother would babysit him and his brother. He really talked this girl up. She was into all the same things as him. He said she had beautiful red hair, D breasts, liked the same books, movies and music as him. (Yes, he bragged about these things, as disgusting and corny as it sounds now). I was starting to believe he talked her up to make me jealous, which it honestly did. However, I knew it was petty jealousy and I was very happy for him and expressed that to him.
I don't know whose idea it was for her to start communicating with me, but she started emailing me to get to know his best friend (me). I was totally cool with this and was excited to get to know her. Before I know it, she starts getting really nasty with me for no apparent reason. It really upset me. My natural impulse at the time when I was upset was to cut. It was a maladaptive coping mechanism I had for years, and I did it when I was really upset. I explained this to him, and he said he would talk to her. He showed real concern I was harming myself and he also wanted her to stop.
So, he told me he had talked to her, and she had told him she would stop harassing me for no good reason. I really assumed she was jealous and let her know there was nothing to worry about. We were friends and he had a much longer history with her. She didn't stop. She continued to say the vilest and f'd up things to me, including making crass and insensitive comments about my suicidal ideation and self-harm. Naturally I was really upset and cut myself pretty badly. I still have the scar.
This basically went on until they broke up a month later. He said she was doing heroin, and he was vehemently against drugs. He said that they had a good friend that died of an OD, and he couldn't be with her if she was going to do that. It was over. She never contacted me again.
Not long after that B (my ex-bf) had come back from bootcamp. I spent a good deal of time with him while he was on home for leave for two weeks before he shipped out overseas. We decided in that time that we would no longer be FWB because I was starting to have feelings for Bub. Me and Bub started dating right after that. He ended up telling me that him and M didn't really date, and he had only told me that to make me jealous. AHA! I was correct!
So, I asked to meet her. He was a bit hesitant at first, but he finally agreed. At this point his bf V from his home city was dating her. It was the perfect opportunity to meet her as like a double date. I will say, at that time in my life I could be possessive and jealous. Not proud of it, but I was young and immature. I ended up treating her pretty snidely because of this.
One night we were out with them, and Bub got into a car accident. We ended up having to call his dad for a ride home. When we got to his home, his dad was contemplating letting them sleep there. I whispered in Bub's ear that I was not okay with his ex-gf sleeping at his house. She overheard me tell him this. She pulled me aside and told me they never dated. WHAT? I was furious. Bub made eye contact with me, and by the look on his face, I could tell he knew what she told me. The ride back, to drop them at home in his dad's car, was uncomfortable to say the least.
After he dropped them off, I confronted him. His explanation was I was so pushy to meet her, but he knew how jealous I could be, so he didn't want to actually introduce me to the real M. Ends up V was dating a girl with the same name. I felt so stupid and betrayed. I wanted to end it, but he seemed so remorseful I ended up giving him another chance.
Well, the years go rolling by, and I hear no more about this girl who he was so close with, in the past. Bub was a very charismatic person with a lot of friends. He never stopped speaking to friends permanently and they would come in and out of his life. I found it a little odd that there was no mention of her but didn't think much else of it. I also never really formally met her.
Then Facebook became a thing. He ended up being friends with every person he had ever known. Except her. I would bring it up and he would always have some excuse. We ended up moving in with his brother in 2015. I wasn't really around his brother a lot, so I never got a chance to talk to him at length. I remember at one point I brought her up. I was just so curious at the mystery girl and wanted to see if he was still in touch with her. He told me he didn't know what I was talking about. He said his mother never left them with babysitters and only worked when they were in school.
"What does that mean," I'm thinking. WTF does that mean? I brought it up to Bub and he told me she only babysat a few times so his brother probably forgot. But this didn't sit right with me. He had told me that she would babysit them frequently. He denied ever saying the frequency. What could I do but believe him? It had been almost 15 years by that point. That's a long time to keep a secret like that. Surely, he was telling me the truth. I dropped it for good.
We get married that year. We had a child the next year. We had a stillborn a year after that. All this time until 2022, I started feeling really uneasy about our relationship. I started suspecting that his behavior towards me was abusive.
Sidenote: I didn't include all the abusive behaviors in this post, as it would be a novel if I did. I'm simply recalling the events around the catalyst to my descent into hell.
By the end of 2022 I was broken. I had gotten my first of what would end up being 3 TROs against him. I dismissed the first two. (The second was a dual, as he set up a situation that created the need for me to defend myself. He claimed I wasn't defending myself. That's a story for another day). After the first two, I was still so desperate to salvage my marriage with my eternal hope that he could change. I was just so broken by then I didn't think I deserved any better, and no one else could possibly want a worthless, pitiful broken mess like me.
The summer of 2023, while laying sleepless in bed, the memory of M flashed through my mind. I started remembering details I had long forgotten. Why did I never meet her? Why was she never his friend on Facebook? Why had neither of them reached out to each other? I had met every person he talked about, or he was at least friends with them on Facebook. Why not her? Why did his brother not remember? Why did he say M's mother babysat them all the time? I KNOW he originally said that damn it! Why was her email address, at only 17-years-old, her first and last name? 17-year-olds don't use their names like professionals. They call themselves sparklybutterflies86 for christ's sakes! This was all going through my head.
The next day I confronted Bub. I will paraphrase to the best of my memory:
Me: Was M real?
Bub: I thought this had been settled already.
Me: No. No, it hasn't. You told me your brother just did not remember her and that was the last I spoke of it.
Bub: Deadpanned looking me right in the eye "No. She wasn't real. I thought you knew this by now."
I can't really remember what I said at that point, but it was a lot of "how the fuck could you do that? and other expletives. His excuse was he was an insecure teenager, and he was jealous of B and how much I talked about him. A fucking insecure teenager. Talking up his high school crush didn't make me jealous, so he made up a gf.
He pretended to be a gf, who went on to harass the shit out me. Which caused me to be so distraught that I cut myself. He knew I was harming myself and he kept on doing it. I still bare the fucking scar from that time. He involved a poor innocent girl that I was fucking terrible to. Not to mention the fake story of a friend that Od'd. And his excuse for this deranged, diabolical, INSANE fucking shit was, "I was an insecure teenager." No fucking big deal, right?
23 years. Two kids. One alive and one deceased. 23 years of complete and utter psychological annihilation with this man.
If only I had known.
If you have come this far, thank you so much for reading. I left him for good October of last year, and I have never felt more free.

2024.05.16 10:31 I_am_birb_ UPDATE + NEED ADVICE: How do I deal with my aunt?

Link to my original post:
https://www.reddit.com/Advice/s/BbMvrnrXv6
I (16F) have an aunt (59F) who has caused trouble in my family in the past, I saw her again 2 weeks ago, where she hovered over me and kept asking about my school work and hinting at asking the question if my mother was providing enough help to me. I answered her questions politely and she left, according to my mother (49F) my aunt made rude and intrusive comments all night to her and my aunts husband also was very rude. He actually ignored me and my siblings existence the whole night. Before we left, (I was trying to sneak out before this) she gave me a big hug and a sloppy kiss on the cheek and told me to call her if I ever needed help with school while she side-eyed my mother. I felt like punching her the whole night, but I cooled off, the actual turning point in this story was my little sisters 12th birthday on the 9th. My whole mothers side of the family forgot it was her birthday, my sister being upset she didn’t get any birthday wishes from her aunts or cousins silently ate cake, picking at the plate. I decided to post on the family gc a photo of her with her gifts saying “happy birthday (my sisters name)” with some heart emojis. My aunt and her husband saw it immediately but didn’t say anything, no one said anything until my cousins started wishing her a happy birthday, then my aunts chimed in and the mean aunts husband sent a message then deleted it. One of my aunts, not the one this story is about called to wish her a happy birthday. It made my sister more happy. My aunt then wrote a vindictive post on Facebook about not respecting elders and tagged me and my brother in it. Point is, the gc message wasn’t directed at her and she posted it unprovoked, I don’t want anything to do with her, how can I cut her off without a family wide fall out?

2024.05.16 09:45 Jwagner0850 AIO for confronting a milder form of emotional cheating?

I'm (41m) currently sitting here wide awake at 3am, with less than 4 hours to go before work thinking about what I found on Facebook.
This might get long but...
Before all this I found tonight, several months back my wife was getting super pushy to see a band that had a player that was local to us. At first I didn't think anything of it, but she wanted to go see them. Ok cool, except I hate going to the city and wants really interested. But I went anyway because my wife wanted to go.
Anyway, fast forward to tonight and I'm scrolling Facebook and I see a react from my wife on a old high school friends post. Normally I wouldn't think anything of it, but I don't typically see this. She doesn't get on Facebook often so when she does, it's genuinely noticeable. So I dug a bit deeper and saw you commented on his post. Again, odd. Nothing bad, just commenting to a general discussion towards him. But because of her infrequency, it stood out again. So I began looking from my account side and only found comments/likes to his posts that seemingly were proactive.
To be clear, this dude is ripped. Used to be a scrawny dude in school but now he's not only jacked, but has 0 body fat which I could only imagine people on TRT/Steroids could do... Also he's out of state so there's no way they could have been physical
So of course, jealousy kicked in and I needed to know more. Well, she doesn't hide passwords from me and I figured, there's smoke here, so I better go investigate. Sure enough he contacted her late one night and they sort of started chatting about old times and school. However, I saw some comments that broke my heart. I don't remember the specifics, but she definitely made a comment about his looks and how he probably uses it to his advantage at his job.
He at one point later admitted to a crush back in the day, seemingly out of place in the Convo. The Convo continued on with each sharing kid photos. Then eventually a very emoji heavy goodnight. Again nothing sexual, but seemed flirtatious to me...
This was the only Convo she had but I noticed she actively searched him tonight, after seeing her reply to a post (about a pet bunny) at around midnight tonight.
It doesn't appear to have gone super far but I'm worried it may go there...
As I sit here, pondering what Im doing... Clearly tired... Waiting anxiously to see how she responds my text I sent about "us needing to talk"... Am I the asshole for doing any of this? Weve been together forever and I would hate to lose her if it's something we can work out and discuss..
She has no cheating history. Actually I have... We've worked through some tough things. I feel I've gotten better but I fear things may be sliding away from me here...

2024.05.16 07:34 East_West2435 I confronted my abuser and I have never more at peace

I confronted my groomer last week and I have never felt more at peace. This happened between 2017 - 2018 , I was 15 at time. I decided to join a private coaching academy to prepare for NEET (the medical entrance exam in India). I had just broken up with my first boyfriend and was studying 8 hours a day, so I was really stressed out and lonely. A professor at the coaching academy was always helpful (he offered to give me his phone number so I could text him any doubts I had).
It escalated from there,it started with him asking if I was single and asking him to stay back during his office hours so we could revise chemistry ( I was not the best at it). I did stay back once and went up to his cabin and he kissed me and told me he wanted me to be his girlfriend. I was shocked but ended up not telling my parents because I was ashamed I let it happen. We kept talking for the next 2 months, he would get me gifts, pay for my cellular data, and tell me how beautiful I was. He called me to his apartment so we could watch a movie, and he raped me. This went on every week for 6 more months, and the saddest part I dont remember anything besides the physical pain I felt. It feels like my brain just shut down.
I ended up getting an admit to a medical school, and stopped talking to him, blocked him everywhere. Fast forward to last week, I was going through some old Facebook chats and came upon his. I unblocked him, and I confronted him. He had the audacity to tell me how he has been single since the time, and how he cries to sleep thinking about how he hurt me. I corrected him and told him that he did so much more than hurt me, he groomed, raped, and abused me. And that he was piece of shit and I don’t care about what he feels.
Since that day, I have been so happy! I finally told my partner about the abuse, and he suggested we go to the police ( I still have all his emails and screenshots of the Facebook chats). I am not sure if I want to, cause I don’t want to relive the trauma and I want to move on. My parents don’t know about the abuse, so there’s that. Would appreciate any advice!

when my dad and former step mom got divorced, i made it clear she could have everything she had given me, furniture etc, i just wanted to keep my dog. i found my dog (her name is sasha) at my real moms house and took her back and forth from my dads to my moms. one day after the divorce i came home to my dads from school and my dog was gone. he had given her permission to take her because HER dogs were “crying for her”. this was 2019 but i just found out through facebook that my dog is still alive. i didn’t take care of this situation when it happened because i was a minor and didn’t have the power. now i’m living on my own at 20, and i want to get my dog back. it wasn’t his right to tell her she could have sasha. what can i do?

2024.05.16 07:02 TcTitan77 Me (30 M) and my Wife (26 F) have been separated for over a year. How do I move forward?

In January of 2023 my wife, I’ll call her S, left me. A bit of backstory because this is mostly my fault. Me and her moved from Florida to Washington 6 years ago for me to find better work. Her dad, brother and I were all best friends for a while and her dad was my boss that’s how I met her. We started dating in 2016 when I lived in Jacksonville and was attending welding school. When I moved back to my hometown I couldn’t find work and eventually went back to work with the company her dad worked at, I ran my own shop. I hated it I was so depressed I wanted to weld but she didn’t want me to because she’d be alone while I was on the road so I stayed. Her mom is a meth addict and is very violent and her dad is laid back as it gets but an alcoholic non the less. I was living with my parents at the time and one day her mom freaked out and tried to hit her, I stood up and defended her and her mom kicked her out of there house. Me and her lived with my parents ever since. Now that she lived at my parents house I had to basically force her to get a job because all she did was play sims and complain. Especially about me watching game of thrones because of the nudity. when I got home and I thought she needed some purpose. I only bring these thing up to put into perspective the things that I had to forgive and give up to be with her. One day my mom asks us if we’d like to move to Washington in hopes of a better life and she could attend college here. I was thrilled at the idea and she was at that moment too. As the date grew closer and I had already put my two weeks notice in she started getting cold feet. I explained to her that I was miserable at my job and had already given up welding and I was not passing up another opportunity whether she came or not. That ended in a fight but she said she wanted to come in the end. My mom emptied her retirement so we could rent a truck, drive up and have an apartment when we got there (my mom was already here) When got here we both immediately got jobs as a construction labor, making quite good money and her at a drugstore. This is where the problems really began. She started to become very withdrawn. She was not interested in anything sexual, and it began to wear on my confidence. I eventually got a job as an electrician making less money as an apprentice, but more overall when I turned out. Then Covid hit. I got fat and depressed, I got a lot from unemployment. So naturally, I began to drink more. Then I started dabbling in cocaine. Over time this became a problem, I began hiding it doing it on the weekends being out all night sometimes for multiple days. She caught me and I lied. My mental health was deteriorating quickly. I had already suffered with depression before, but this was something different. Her dad got diagnosed with stage bone cancer during this too. It was a rough time for both of us. At one point she told me she didn’t know if she wanted to get a divorce because she wanted to go back home to be with her dad if he died. Even though I understood this crushed me even more. During 2022 I was still somehow I was still somehow still managing to keep it together even with my addiction. She started attending college and work and college at the same time with stressing her out to the point where she was crying so I told her to quit her job and do college full-time. I paid for all of it. Financial burdens began to increase. My mental health dropped even lower. I became increasingly suicidal I thought about death every day. I talked about it every day. She would tell me she’s not a psychiatrist or therapist and that she couldn’t help me. She started hanging out with one of her friends from work and they started hanging out a lot towards the end of 2022. This part is extremely important. I started noticing things on her phone that pointed to her being interested in women like things in her algorithm for TikTok and YouTube. Stuff to do with being lesbian and coming out or bi. I asked her one day if that was something that was going on with her if she was interested in women. She told me no. A month later, she came to me and told me that she thought about it and it was something that she had been thinking about. I told her that it was OK and that it was something that I was willing to let her explore as long as we communicated. Then out of the blue one day again she tells me she didn’t mind if I slept with other women. Looking back this was a red flag at the time. I thought it was OK with it for being with someone else. It turns out I was not. Being a cocaine addict and an alcoholic pretty much plus the thought of her being with someone else started to grind my self-conscious. I became increasingly paranoid that she would leave me. One night fueled on cocaine. I got on her laptop and looked through all of her history all of it back years. And I saw she had to stop obsessing over a guy. Is it OK to have a crush on a guy at the gym while married. I confronted her with this information. And it turned into a huge she said I invaded her privacy which I did and still feel terrible for. And she said it was only a crush and nothing else. Our sex life had all the ground, and I was so hurt that she was attracted to someone else and couldn’t even begin to be attracted to me. One night at the beginning of January, maybe the first week or two I was trying to quit drinking and doing cocaine. I had maybe been a week in. It was the weekend and I didn’t want to be alone. I begged her to stay with me, but she went out with her friend. In retaliation, I suppose I went out with someone a friend of mine and got fucked up. We ended up going back to his place with some girls. There was no sex just making out and such. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but I freaked out and got taken home in a cop car. She was at her friends at this point I decided to commit suicide. I overdosed on muscle relaxers with my uncle to tell him bye. My uncle got it out of him that I had overdosed. He called my wife and her and the woman that she was hanging out with came to my house and I was taken to the hospital. I spent a whole week in the hospital. The whole time I was there she just seemed annoyed. She wanted to go back to her friends house and do homework for school. I got out and went back to work. I had to make up some school and the day I was there. I talked to another woman about how I could win her back because she said that she didn’t know if she wanted to be with me anymore. The girls suggested I take her out on a date and tell her how I was feeling and I did. That night while we were eating dinner, she told me that she had been sleeping with that girl the night I tried to commit suicide and other nights. She didn’t tell me she was afraid I would divorce. At first, I remain calm. But as the past, I started to become angry. at home I told her I was leaving to go stay at a friends house because we need to take a break. I started drinking heavily and told her to get the fuck out of my house and I hated her a bunch of other I started drinking heavily and told her to get the fuck out of my house and I hated her a bunch of other terrible things. I went completely off the rails she left with that girl to stay at her house. I bought a bunch of cocaine Adderall and alcohol and was determined to just do drugs until I died. I started self harming. I tried to commit suicide through carbon monoxide, overdose, and hanging. I ruined the house. I broke so many things kicked down doors shattered pictures. You should’ve seen it. It was disgusting. She came by to check on me because she was worried. I was going to kill myself. I can’t remember everything that I said to her, but I know I freaked out. I started throwing things and just being an absolute ass. it culminated her calling my parents. She told him everything. I should also note that during this time I was confused as well with everything going on in my head and thought maybe I would be by and gave a guy a blow job he also gave me one as well. It didn’t last long I wasn’t into it, but I told her the very next day. Had about three months before all this happened. She left again and my mom flew back from Florida. As I sobered up, I began to realize how I had acted. I went to work and immediately told my foreman that I needed to go to rehab. I went to rehab and started to feel better about two months after she had told me and I went to rehab and started to feel better. About two months since the split, we met up at a Starbucks to talk about us. She said that she didn’t think she could be with me anymore. After the way I had acted and all the lying with my addiction. I wanted her back so badly. I told her I’m sorry I was never worth it in a bunch of other stuff that was childish. She said I had acted like her mom and that she couldn’t deal with it. I totally did the yelling throwing things saying horrible things to her to put her down. Anyway, I went no contact with her the whole time she was still living with that girl. I relapsed after about four months. I got laid off from my job. In a few Coke, fueled rages on separate occasions, I would call her and beg her back and then yell at her when she didn’t want to. I called her with cancer and told him that she had cheated on me with a girl. They are very conservative and that was a horrible thing for me to do. So now the end of the tale. I’ve been in and out of sobriety now for this year and a half more in sobriety than out. I’m sober now I’m in AA and NA and feeling much better. Her dad died of cancer. She never told me I heard through a friend of a friend which really hurt me because me and him used to be best friends. Although I understand why she would not reach out to me. Neither me or her have filed the paperwork for the divorce. We just never talk. She has me blocked on Facebook and I don’t know her phone number and honestly right now. I don’t even know if I want to go through with the divorce or just keep working on healing. I’m so confused because I still love her but also I don’t want to be with her but I do. I think about her all the time. I don’t want to break no contact with her. We haven’t spoken in over nine months. I don’t want to open up the wounds for her. If anyone has read this far thank you. I’m typing on my phone so if everything seems rushed and a little sporadic, sorry. I would just like some advice on how maybe I could move forward stay sober and heal from all of this.

2024.05.16 06:50 Huge_Belt_4350 I wrote a letter to my mom addressing all the hurts of my childhood expecting a response that never came

I (27F) last last winter (2022) wrote a long letter to my mom. I poured my heart into it, I cried the whole time writing it. I showed it to my husband to make sure I wasn’t being too mean in my writing towards my mom. I showed it to my stepsister to again make sure it was okay and made sense and to get emotional support (I’m Mexican and I didn’t want to push too far because i understand how deep generational trauma is and the parent child dynamic) I even showed it to my stepdad who immediately called me apologizing for the things I wrote in the letter (which I will get into in a moment) and was telling me about how he will divorce her (I didn’t want that and made me feel shitty) and explained why some scenarios ended up the way they did. Everyone encouraged me to send it. I was so confident that my mom was going to read it and drive over ? Write back? Call me. Something ! So I mailed it. (I mailed it because I instantly cry every time I try talking to her in person about not surface level things, it would of been easier getting words out especially when having to translate to Spanish)
In the letter I wrote about:
-Feeling emotionally neglected -the name calling my mom would do (calling me “retarded” and mimicking noises and movements of people with disability towards me among other things -My uncle being a pedo and scaring me into not saying anything to them, i later said something to a friend in HS who went to the counselor who called the police and I made up a person to protect my uncle, I was then grounded for over a year. -the carpet in my bedroom always being wet when it rained which is a lot where I live ruining my feet with a fungal infection that was just ignored (i understand it was a money issue but the hurt remains) -being blamed for high utility bills n being expensive for needing braces -being called lazy for not cleaning even though I would clean the kitchen and be the only kid to pick up the leaves outside in the fall and things, sometimes when I would clean the kitchen she would do it again, when asking her to teach me how to do it better she would ignore me and pretend I wasn’t there. -asking her any question and being ignored -my boyfriend in high school being suicidal when I would try to break up with him and hurting that I couldn’t go to them for help -saying that I tried to hit her to my step dad when I moved out of the way of her too quickly and making a scene about it leaving me confused -understanding that i understand she probably had a rough childhood and that all I wanted was a normal mother daughter relationship
That’s pretty much the gist among a bunch of other little things that really hurt me and I explained that it was hard to form a relationship with her in my adulthood and trust her with my kids until we addressed these things. I wanted to be acknowledged. Not even an apology really. But a conversation. I wanted to understand her more because I literally don’t know anything about her. We would never talk unless it was to eat dinner or clean something. I was always in my room during that time.
I waited a few weeks, my stepsister would visit them here and there and tell me how my mom appears sad? And maybe she needed more time.
A few months pass by I see my mom smiling in Hawaii having a good time.
At this point I’m in therapy because I’m losing hair from the stress of this and severely depressed.
Fall comes around and I finally go to visit with the encouragement of my husband, stepsister and stepdad. She acts like I’m not even there. This makes me angry. At one point my mom goes outside to smoke a cigarette im at the table with everyone and I start just talking about the hurts again, I say my mom is a narcissistic. My mom comes back inside. And for an hour. I’m complaining and she’s in the living room a few feet away saying absolutely nothing.
I leave feeling so weird. So lonely? We are now I’m 2024. I don’t have a relationship with her or my step dad really. I had to block her because she would go to Hawaii again and just living her life having a great time I was trying not to be bitter. Or angry. My step sister and step dad eventually started to question how legitimate my statements were it was so painful being misunderstood. Being told that that’s just the mom that I have. Being told that things were maybe my fault for having a problem with everything (I would always speak up when my parents would be racist and things)
I few months ago I did send her a text as a final effort. I asked why she never responded. If she wants to just leave this alone that’s okay and I will move on. And she told me that all that was on the letter were complaints. And told me about how when I was 20 I made a comment on a Facebook post about bad parenting and how everyone saw. About how embarrassed she was when people reached out to her. About how I wrote that I felt like I was in a dark environment. I didn’t know everyone saw it. I apologized for that. She told me to come over to talk because she personally has some complains about me. But she never acknowledged me. I didn’t want to go, to feel yelled at and again taken back to being a child getting yelled at.
I’m currently feeling grief. Mistrust to my family. Lonely. Jealous? About how my other siblings seem to be having a better time. How do I move on from feeling misunderstood. I feel like everyone is okay and I’m abandoned. I feel guilt for pulling my small family away from them from how hurt I am. Most times I’m okay until I see my stepsister at a family gathering that I’m never invited to. And then I’m back again to being a lonely child.

2024.05.16 05:54 throwaway-10-02-23 I wish I were attractive, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

I'm a college-aged woman looking for men, and I'm in a male-dominated major. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I smile, I have straight teeth, I keep myself groomed. I'm not toned but not overweight (by BMI, body fat percentage, and waist circumference) because I go to the gym. I don't have a lot of acne, acne scars, or discoloration. I act confident in public and smile at people, but I can't remember the last time someone complimented me on my appearance. This includes my relatives and their facebook friends.
I really wish someone would find me attractive. I had only one serious boyfriend in my entire life which I find embarrassing. I've had very little luck with dating apps (one I didn't even get a single match on!!) and even when I've gone out and asked guys if I can sit with them, I get shot down. I've never had someone offer to buy me a drink or been catcalled. The only person I confirmed had a romantic interest in me literally harassed me so much so that I almost reported him to title 9 before he left the college.
I don't think my personality is the problem either- I have no problem making and keeping friends, my longest friendship is from the start of college. (I came from a very tiny high school, like 50 kids in my graduating class, and didn't really click with anyone there.)
I just wish I knew why I'm so ugly when I'm on the dating apps and talking to people... most of my friends have had at least 2-4 serious relationships by now, or at least been flirted with. I legitimately cannot remember anyone besides the title 9 guy ever trying to flirt or shoot their shot with me. I've shot my own shot with dudes and been rejected plenty of times, too. I just want someone to find me attractive.

2024.05.16 05:39 turquoiseanswers I’m really struggling to love my faith again like I used to.

I was a homeschooled only child, raised in a QAnon/conspiracy theorist household. It was just a recipe for disaster, and I’ve slowly been trying to put the pieces together to figure things out.
I kind of thought things were going okay, but covid is what really made my world crumble. Out of everything, I think watching my parents turn into doomsday anti-vaxxers was the most devastating thing I’ve ever endured. I had to hide my covid vaccinations from them because my mom threatened to disown me if I “took the mark of the beast.” My dad thinks it’ll turn people into government controlled zombies. I have no other family, and honestly no strong friendships because I was isolated my entire childhood.
I grew up a huge fan of contemporary Christian music, and having so many of my favorite artists spiral into similar ideologies as my parents made me feel so alone. I won’t name anyone directly, but several have said or posted hurtful things regarding LGBTQ rights, and people like me who still mask up out of caution for covid. One artist I especially loved changed the lyrics and made a mockery of Amazing Grace when I saw him in concert in 2022. He said “since we were in good old Florida, he knew he could get away with it.”
(Trigger warning honestly if you don’t want the song ruined for you)
He sang “My mask is gone, I’ve been set free” and a bunch of other altered verses making fun of anyone who still cared about the pandemic. I felt excruciatingly uncomfortable sitting there in the first couple of rows, the only person in the crowd wearing a mask. The same artist has also posted stuff endorsing toxic purity culture and also anti-trans things.
He’s not the only one. I’ve really started having a tough time separating the artists from the music. I know of a couple who’ve posted some more inclusive things which is nice, but overall the CCM industry has really been giving me the ick lately. Not only that, but my old church as well.
I stopped attending church shortly before 2020. I’m honestly thankful for that because several of my old “Bible study” friends have become versions of themselves I hardly recognize. Maybe I was just oblivious to it at the less politically charged time, but gosh. I moved away so I haven’t seen them in about 5 years, but we’re still Facebook friends and it’s insane how many seem to have become QAnon/conspiracy theorists like my parents. They were normal in high school, at least I thought they were, so what happened?
I’ve thought about looking for a new church, but I’m not sure if I’m ready yet. I used to pray and worship and read scripture all the time, but now I’m ashamed to say it all feels like a chore. I’m terrified of losing my relationship with God, but I don’t feel authentic in my faith like I used to. Because I’ve been hurt by the people who used to encourage me in my faith, that pain has radiated its way into who I am today: someone who doesn’t know how to feel like myself, because I don’t even know who she is anymore.
I cringe listening to my old favorite worship songs. I want to feel that love for my faith again, but I can’t stop associating it with the insanity I’ve been subjected to.
As a teenager I pledged to “save my first kiss for my wedding day,” and that was something I was honestly happy with, until last year when I realized how absolutely deranged that concept was. Sure, don’t even kiss a man until you’ve signed a lifetime contract promising to never leave him for any reason whatsoever. Oh yeah, and while you’re at it make sure you’re submissive to him in everything because he’s “the head of the household.”
I’m now 27 and still have never had a boyfriend, still haven’t kissed anyone. I’ve been on dates with 5 men, and didn’t make it past a second date with any of them. The first one, I was 21 years old. He was from my Bible study, the one I mentioned earlier. He asked me for nudes after our one and only date and wouldn’t stop pressuring me to send them, even after I told him about my then-delusion of no kissing til marriage. I never gave him any thankfully.
I also didn’t go on another date with anyone until I was 25. I had ONE date to my name at the age of 25, because the one time I trusted a “nice boy from church,” he pulled that stunt and I was revolted.
The second guy I went out with, he was really nice but I just didn’t have feelings for him, which made me guilty for some reason. I don’t think I was ever taught growing up that it’s important to feel a connection with a guy, you’re just expected to take what you can get. We only had that one date. The third guy just wanted a hook up, and I was still hooked on purity culture so it went nowhere.
I didn’t have feelings for the fourth and fifth guys either. I only went out with them because they asked me, and out of loneliness and being too guilty to say no, I talked to them for longer than I should have, wasting everyone’s time.
I don’t know if this is from trauma, but I don’t feel attraction to most guys in real life. I know I’m straight because I definitely have a type in my head. Kind hearted, athletic and muscular but not overly so, fluffy hair and just cuddly and sweet gentle and wholesome. I feel shallow that I’m mostly only attracted to that, but I can’t help it.
I just don’t feel safe with meeting new people, fearing that I’ll accidentally bring someone damaging into my life that I can’t get rid of. Someone who doesn’t have the best intentions, and I struggle to hurt feelings by turning people down. What if we do get into a relationship, and I find out he has a belief that’s a deal breaker for me? I’m afraid I’ll temporarily tolerate something that will inevitably lead to us separating, but I’m too spineless to end things when I should. It’s mostly because I don’t know how to say no, but also because I’d fear landing back at square one, single and alone.
Now I’m in a weird place where I feel like I need to figure myself out more before I try inviting someone in. But I’m 27, and feel “over the hill,” especially as someone with virtually zero real romantic experience. I definitely don’t want my first kiss to be at the alter, but at the same time I’m conflicted on how the heck to feel comfortable with the idea of gasp having sex outside of marriage. I don’t even know when it would feel “okay.” Is six months into a relationship decently enough? Is that too long to find out if we’re incompatible? I was taught nothing so I’m feeling lost. And it’s hard to keep suppressing my forced tendency of “even holding a man’s hand is cheating on your future husband!”
Most of my prayers now are an endless cycle of “please forgive me, I’m sorry, I don’t know why I don’t feel like praying but I promise I still love You.” I feel awful saying this because I know it’s not true but I do feel unloved sometimes. Like I feel like I’m annoying Jesus somehow when I babble on about whatever thing I’m distraught about. But if I go through the default prayer order of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and THEN finally Supplication, it feels insincere. I don’t want to speed through worshipful prayers just to get to the part I really feel like doing, begging for some sort of help. But I feel almost obligated to essentially suck up to God first before saying what I really mean. That doesn’t feel like a real honest relationship to me and it’s a rut I’ve been desperate to get out of.
Every January 1st and every birthday, for probably the past good 5 or 6 years, I’ve started a “One Year Bible” plan that I always end up abandoning after like 10 days. I just can’t stick to it. It’s not even strictly Genesis-Revelation order. It sprinkles in some chapters from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs every day, and each day takes maybe 15 minutes max to do. But somehow I always miss a day, then never catch up, saying I’ll try again the next “landmark day,” January 1st or my birthday, whichever comes next. I don’t know why I can’t love reading scripture. I want to so badly, but I don’t crave it unless I’ve had a nightmare and I need something to calm me down. It’s not a daily desire for me and I wish it was.
This post was a little all over the place, but I guess what I’m trying to ask is how do I cope with the loss of who I thought I was? How do I get comfortable with who I am now? I’m horrified at how long I subscribed to my parents’ beliefs without questioning anything. I just adopted any and everything I was told, and it created a clueless, confused adult.

2024.05.16 05:11 tristanfinn Bolerium Books – The San Francisco Bookstore Where the Revolution Ends up – By Lucy Schiller

There is great benefit, these days, in having a name unlike any other: you float to the top of Google searches. Bolerium Books, in San Francisco, knows this well, although it wasn’t a consideration when it first opened, in 1981. Bolerium’s co-owner, John Durham, runs through any number of explanations for the name, depending on whose leg he wants to pull and how hard. “It was an ancient road in Roman times,” he intoned recently, “large, funny, and sluggish,” while another co-owner, Alexander Akin, roundly mouthed, “Not true.” (The word is a Roman one for Land’s End, in Cornwall, England. The bookstore was once a bit closer to the ocean.) Fittingly, there is no other place like Bolerium, not on the Internet nor in the province of the real. Similes come steadily, none of which really seem to fit. Perhaps Durham’s is best. “We’re like a platypus,” he told me recently, “ugly as fuck and all sorts of parts.”.
This moment of serious American protest against Trump has led to one of Bolerium Books’ best sales years ever.Photograph by Thor Swift / NYT / Redux.
At last count, the store contained 67,385 single titles in stock. Estimates of the time that has elapsed since the last deep cleaning ranged from a jokey “twenty years ago” to a hemming “define ‘clean.’ ” “Nature abhors a vacuum,” Durham quickly noted. A store map gestures at the sheer amount of stuff, with sections labelled as “Reef of Flotsam” or “Onset of Confusion” (right by the entrance), or, in one cramped corner, “Hell.”
The semi-barbed humor protects something serious and deeply essential. Few people walk in (“the door is locked to keep out the unworthy,” Durham wrote in response to a negative Yelp review, though he made sure to mention the password, “swordfish”). Those who do manage to enter find, three floors above one of the Mission District’s busiest intersections, a vast and quiet space populated by seven staff members, thousands of books about and from social movements, densely packed rows of pamphlets and ephemera, and, in the adjacent storage room, great snowbanks of paper. These snowbanks, or “midden heaps,” as Durham calls them, are from attics, basements, personal archives, and libraries across the country. They have all been sold or donated to Bolerium. In them, evidence of the past is to be found, possibly reckoned with, and then, hopefully, sold.
From Bolerium’s snowbanks have come copies of On Our Backs (a lesbian erotic magazine put out in response to the anti-pornography publication Off Our Backs), century-old postcards of pacifist Doukhobors protesting in the nude, intricate Black Panther posters and handbills, an issue of Lumberjack (“with appendix on musical saw”), and the famous inter-commune Kaliflower newsletters from early-nineteen-seventies San Francisco. But with a staff so expert that they can translate a Mongolian treatise on traditional Oirat law using a handmade cheat sheet, classifications like “famous” and “obscure” begin to blur. So do “past” and “present.” Rather than a platypus, maybe the store is more like an estuary: the disparate holdings mingle, rolling in and out according to murky tides. (If you visit the Web site and browse the digital catalog by date, the tides begin to feel more explicable; one week, for example, carries a huge wave of Alan Watts-related material. The next week brings a crush of gay romance novels.) At Bolerium, for better and worse, you can wade around in what Durham calls “the primary source material for history.”
Here is an 1838 publication by the American Anti-Slavery Society and a brochure arguing for the Equal Rights Amendment. A pamphlet from a 1928 speech by Marcus Garvey sits not far from a publication on “incidents in the Life of Eugene V. Debs” written by his brother, Theodore (once, before an important speech, a piece of barbed wire tore “a great rent in [Debs’s] trousers . . . the flap of which hung down like the ear of a Missouri houn’ pup”). Among many other small, sheeny pins is a button from the 1990 AIDS Walk in San Francisco. Here are fliers that passed from hand to hand at protests, meant to convince, assuage, and inflame, and here’s a lump of coal from a miners’ strike in Alabama with tiny chicken-scratch wording: “never forget.” Notably, this year of serious American protest has been the store’s best sales year ever.
Not marked on the map is that other part of American history that has, this year and every other, raged—a section that Durham loosely calls “the White Problem” and keeps behind the locked door of a different room altogether. Accessible to scholars and those who know to ask, the spindly bookcases contain titles like “Gun Control Means People Control” and “Fluoridation & Truth Decay,” as well as several publications by the John Birch Society. “You can’t understand American history without understanding the far right,” Durham told me. “What it’s done, its justifications, its tropes and idiocies.”
It was to the deepest corner of the storeroom that the archivist Lisbet Tellefsen was drawn one afternoon. (Tellefsen visits Bolerium as a “treasure hunter,” and has amassed the largest collection of Angela Davis-related material in the world.) One time, she idly tugged out an issue of The Bayviewer, a magazine that once served the historic black neighborhood that James Baldwin characterized as “the San Francisco America pretends does not exist.”
.
The magazine fell open to a page bearing the face of Tellefsen’s father, whom she had not seen since she was two, in an advertisement for his Oldsmobile dealership. That led to an ongoing saga of tracking down half-siblings and cousins found on Ancestry.com. “There is so much history there,” Tellefsen told me. She visits Bolerium once a month, wary of buying back her own consigned material. “It’s so rich with connections. We have an understanding of history, but places like that hold so much.” Bolerium’s official motto, “Fighting Commodity Fetishism with Commodity Fetishism since 1981,” does not quite distill the feeling of holding some of these discoveries between your fingers, or explain the way that ephemera can work to vivify history, very often through its ordinariness. A bit of light browsing recently unearthed a flier from a class reunion of Florida’s first accredited African-American high school, as well as an Electrolux manual from 1933 listing Pope Pius XI as a famous customer.
But history is ongoing, and the present moment needs its collectors. During the Occupy Movement, the store paid a dollar for each flyer or poster that people brought in, then put together a sweeping collection for the British Library. Holdings from contemporary social movements are fairly small, since so much planning, discussing, and arguing takes place on Facebook and Twitter. “Occupy was the last one to have lots of leaflets,” Akin told me, somewhat sadly. Currently, he is collecting material from what he calls the “shock-and-disbelief period” following the 2016 Presidential election. Only from “marinating in the sauce of time” do these things begin to accrue both value and interest.
.
Recently, in one snowbank, Akin found a sketch done in creamy pastel of a basalt mountain and drifting clouds. Tiny guard towers dotted the background. It was a drawing of the view from Tule Lake Segregation Center, the largest of the incarceration camps that held Japanese-Americans during the Second World War, and the one which held those people deemed by the government to be “disloyal.” The artist was a man named Tomokazu, surname unknown, who resided for over thirty-five years in Plumas County, California, before being imprisoned at Tule Lake. The piece of paper sat among countless others all bearing dispatches of one kind or another from the past, which is not a foreign country, really, but a place hovering just under our present, and made of paper and ink, buttons, and voices.

2024.05.16 04:09 PianistUnable6261 WIBTAif I reach out to my dear childhood friend who I used to perv/creep out on?

I (28m) used to be best friends with this girl, “S” (29f) from grade 2 until I was 22 years old (that was when we last saw each other). Her parents ran a Korean restaurant, and I have so many fond memories of eating there with her. S and I were close enough that when we were really young, we promised to marry each other when we got older lol. It was that kind of relationship.
Starting from when I was in high school, until around my second year of college, I became a bit of a creep. I knew that it was wrong to touch girls without their consent, but I just thought it was “mildly” wrong, rather than being a genuine, disturbing violation. I didn’t think it was wrong to ogle girls, I thought I was being “funny” when I said sexual things to them, etc etc. I don’t know how, but I just happened to fly under the radar; between the ages of 14-18, when I was REALLY acting out, I still don’t remember getting any warnings or getting into trouble from my authority figures and teachers. And unfortunately, I took out some of my perversions on S during this time. I leered at her a lot and made a lot of sexual comments about her. One time, when I was in my freshman year of college, I groped her breasts; this was the only time I laid my hands on her. It's important to note, however, that I didn't act out on her nearly as much as I did to other girls, because I thought she was too dear to me to treat her that way on a regular basis. The last communication she had with me was 6 years ago, when she asked me via Facebook “yo…are you okay?” I didn’t respond to that message.
I grew up A LOT ever since I went to college. With all that being said, I admit that I am still sexually attracted to S, and I look up her Facebook photos frequently (not that it really hurts her; what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her). I miss her so much, and I still remember that silly childhood marriage promise that we made with each other. She never posts anything angsty on her Facebook or social media, which I’m hoping means that she’s not as traumatized as I fear she is. If I reach out to her and ask her out for some coffee, would that be a good idea?

2024.05.16 03:21 ooopsithrewitaway AITAH for being upset that my boyfriend hasn’t asked about my injury

Throwaway, as indicated by the handle.
So Monday night I was out for dinner with my boyfriend on the patio. We were enjoying chicken wings and a burger and a couple beers. It was quite windy and unfortunately the staff did not secure the patio umbrellas around us properly and one was taken out of the picnic table by the wind, and thrown into the back of my head, and my shoulder knocking me into the picnic table. It hurt pretty bad and I was pretty dazed but thankfully our bill was comped and we left shortly after. I was supposed to be home right after someone because a friend was coming to pick up a couch from out of town from my house and my partner had school the next morning. My partner was insisting that I go to the hospital and was getting increasingly agitated when I insisted I had to go charge my phone (it had died) due to the fact that I had someone picking some thing up from my friends house that I had organized as a Facebook marketplace sale. They did not know each other. I either had to be there or let them know. It would’ve taken 10 minutes and then I would’ve gone to the hospital. It resulted in an hour long argument on the side of the road, which resulted in me going into a bar alone to charge my phone, and then taking a bus to the hospital alone and waiting at the hospital alone. I had sent him messages and called him a couple times while I was waiting in the hospital, hoping that he might come and show up. However, I got nothing back. The next morning he messaged me apologizing for how he spoke to me and I told him that I was quite taken aback about how he was, and that it really hurt me. I did not hear anything from him for the entire day until this morning. No questions about how I was feeling, how was work, if I was okay. He messaged me again this morning and apologized for speaking to me the way he did. He then continued to vent about school and not even ask or be concerned about my well-being, despite the fact that he was the one who insisted that I go to the hospital. I am not disagreeing with the fact that I should have gone to the hospital (which I did) but due to the fact that it was an hour long argument, when I just needed to charge my phone to be respectful to a friend of mine coming by, and he doesn’t even have the decency to message me asking how I’m doing over the past two days is really rubbing me the wrong way.
Am I the asshole for being bent out of shape about this?

2024.05.16 02:48 Leaniebobeanie Mom sabotaged my car title by putting white out on it and won’t meet up to fill out the title correction or new bill of sale needed to transfer the title to me so I can register my car in my name…

Soooo…. Long story short. I stupidly allowed my mom to have her name on my car title when I BOUGHT my car in FULL when I was 17 years old to save on my car insurance. (I’m 23 now, a recent graduate with a biology degree and was kicked out recently by her) I have been trying to obtain the title for my car for the past 3 weeks - she finally left the title at my grandmas house who lives 40 mins away from me rather than letting me come to her house to get it after I got off from work which is only 10 mins away… anywho. I made it to the DMV this past Monday (my only weekday off from work) and sat there for 2 hours for me to be called to a station and be turned around immediately because they noticed that there was white out on the title for the sales price for $1 (which i don’t understand what is so hard about writing 1.00) so it voided the title. (I noticed this before going to the DMV but I was hoping they didn’t notice) I was unable to get anything done because of this and was given a title correction form and a DMV bill of sale for my mom to sign and fill out… (this is around 2:15pm) they told me to get the signatures that day and come back before 5pm and I could skip the line since they also noticed that she VOLUNTARILY surrendered my license plate without letting me know. I told them i would have trouble getting this new paperwork filled out because she avoids me and my calls so they suggested that I request her at her job (she works at a school and there was 30 mins left by the time i went to the office to request her) after texting her and calling her 5 times to let her know that I was coming by & waiting in the parking lot for an hr hoping she would respond . Going inside was my last resort but I had to get this done so i could register my car and get new plates. She never came out after the front office requested her about 10 times… Now she is avoiding me again and says she will fill out whatever forms she thinks I need on her own time (vs the official documents that the DMV gave me) and give it to my grandma 40 mins away knowing that my plate is dead because of her. I had an appt today at the DMV at 8am so i could try to go before work at 9:30am but she told me if i came by her house yesterday after work with the papers she would be calling the police because “I was not invited” …. I work everyday and my car is my only form of transportation… what should i do? I need legal advice. Can i tell the DMV that she is insane and they will help me move forward with the signatures i already have ? Do i risk going to her house and having the police called on me ? I thought about making this a public matter on Facebook but i feel like she will retaliate even harder … please help. :(

2024.05.16 02:23 Muted-Coyote-8551 I want to expose some cat torturers. Read if you want to help me.

In March of 2016, Chazz Lindsey (or as his mother calls him in her Facebook posts telling people not to judge him “Chazzle Dazzle”), Brock Finkbiner, and Josiah Wallace, who all went to high school in Marshall, Illinois, tortured and murdered multiple cats, while one of their girlfriends filmed it as they laughed. (You can search up this case.) This included setting them on fire, dismembering them, and all sorts of heinous acts on these defenseless, confused, and scared little cats.
Chazz Lindsey faced 2 weeks of jail time, the boys who were still in high school served ZERO jail time. they didn’t even get suspended from their basketball team. The whole community rallied in defense of them and their character. And our principal (of a surrounding town) even told us to not bully them in the rowdy section when we played them at home so as to not hurt their feelings. Because it was inappropriate.
I feel like everyone’s forgotten about this and they just got to graduate as the studs of their school and nobody even cared. Now they’re all off happily continuing their lives, going to college and getting married as if this was just some fun drunken memory from high school. I don’t want them to ever forget what they did to these cats, who could’ve gotten taken into a loving home..or maybe were already a part of someone’s home…just imagine if it were your cat. I want this to follow them for the rest of their life. I want everyone to know what they did.

2024.05.16 02:10 kunderaandme Tired of trying

I´m just tired of trying to build friendship. It seems like no one cares about me … or they don’t care as much as I do. I’m lonely. I tried … and it doesn’t work .., either ppl are too busy with their life or Î’m just not someone anyone really wants as a friend . I’m always the one reaching out… always the one making plan , organize stuff … but It seems it doesn’t work for me . I don’t see the point of my life if I’m just by myself . I do have a good job that I love and I my boss tells me that I do so much for my students and Ive heard from other teachers that students like me … or at least couple of it .. and right now it’s probably the only thing that keep me going . And as much as I like my collegues … I know that they don’t want to hang out on the weekend . They have their family , kids , spouse.. there’s a group of teachers who don’t have kids and do things together on weeknight and weekends and as much as I tried to include myself in this particular group… they want nothing to do with me and they made it clear … ( they can be really mean and I didn’t heard any bad comments but when I’m with them, I feel that they don’t like me… making passive aggressive comments on what I say , excluding me from group chat… and I came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what I do , I’m not cool enough for them …). I don’t have kids ( and I don’t want any, and my age as a women will soon make this impossible anyway ), I don’t have a partner ( got dumped because I got really Sick for about 6 mo… it’s now under control ). I tried app to meet a partner but … let’s put it Franky it’s horrible out there . I use to have a social connexion when I was at uni but now … life happened … and there gone. I managed to have kept one friend … but i see her rarely... And I one was sobbing about the fact that I was lonely and she told me that she wished she could be there for me but she can’t and that I need to find a friend that could be there for me but that she won’t be this friend … she also have 2 kids so whenever I want to see her, I have to go to her place … but she won’t … and lately I realized that I’m the one reaching out and she will respond but she never really ask about how I feel … I tried meeting new friends with app also… but they all fizzled out. One friend I thought I could count on ( she visited me at the hospital )… well she twice cancelled because she had an family emergency … I was supposed to see her in Tuesday .. I wrote her back that I was sorry for her emergency … that if she wants to talk that she can phone me and that we could do something else another day… she didnt even texted me back … ( I know she saw my message )… and Im sad about it . And I’m tired … it’s not a friend if she can’t text back …. Or even just a heart on my message … so anyway … I just came to the conclusion that I’m lonely and even if I really tried to put myself out there it just doesn’t work … I can’t make friends ... and frankly I don’t really want to continue living if I’m just being Al by my self . What’s the point of living if you can’t share anything with other human being ? Maybe if I had kid I could say that I have to keep living for them but I don’t . I don’t have any reason to be alive other that I don’t want to hurt my family ( im not close with them but my dad did die by suicide when I was 13 so I know what killing yourself will arm people around you ) and also I’m too afraid of hurting my self. ( or even worse, don’t complete it and being worse off with an handicapp for the rest of my life, or being a vegetable …) so it’s more that I wish to be dead but won’t take action on it… but I don’t know how long I can endure that … I can’t find any solution to my loneliness problem and believe me … I try almost everything ( seeing a therapist, taking differents class (pottery, online class, horse riding, paddle board, kayak,yoga,swimming class ) , volluntering, taking a class at university , reach out to people to try to make plan , going on app to find a friend, being part of Facebook group to make friend, going to meet up in my city , adopting a pet, talk to neighbor, being present to every social activity at my school , finding hobby that I can do alone , go swimming to help my anxiety, invite ppl over , go to boardgame event ,…) I don’t know what to do anymore . How can I handle my loneliness. I just want it to stop hurting so much .

2024.05.15 23:57 A_RandomTwin21 The times i have been called ugly

Some of these times may have been posted before but I’ll post some again just to get some feelings off my chest
Lots of times in high school. When i wasn’t massively ignored that is. Girls always were talking about how hot and cute my twin is and hearing them say "(my name’s) the ugly one” “ew GOD no, (my name) is ugly” “(my twin’s name) is the hot one, (my name is the ugly one” i heard this lots of times by many girls. My twin ALWAYS had girls around him in high school especially our senior year, his arms around them and girls always flirting with him and running their hands through his hair while i was pretty much ignored and invisible. And trust me i tried but always turned girls off with my face deformities and never could hold a conversation with a girl for more than a few minutes with how grossed out and uncomfortable they were
Facebook I have been called ugly on Facebook quite a number of times too, feeling only slightly confident to post a selfie only to get comments “WTF 💀” “what’s up, ugly?” “You’re a brave person” “ugly ass” and laugh reactions in the like section. Meanwhile my twin getting LOTS of likes and compliments about his facial features and hair and whatnot people commenting how pretty he looks and other stuff, meanwhile i post a picture once and a group of girls comment how i look like a "kiddie fiddler” laugh emojis tagging their friends who I’m not even friends with on Facebook “YOO HE LOOKS LIKE A PEDOPHILE” “what TF is wrong with his face 😭💀”
I was at a funeral a couple of years ago with my twin for the grandma of one of his friends, at the burial one of the uncles asked if we were twins, then pointed at me already laughing then saying "at least we know which one the ugly one is!” With a few people snickering and laughing lightly at it
At one of my twin’s work places about 6 years ago one of his co-workers wanted to meet me after my brother told him he has a twin, i met his friend for the first time, he looked at me and laughed uncontrollably saying (my twins name) you didn’t tell me he was ugly, damn!” And he didn’t wanna see me again after meeting me or even liked me immediately afterwards
There has been so much more times but that’s only a few i was able to list here, I might post more later
*Before anyone asks, my twin and i are identical
YES, im sure we’re identical. I’m 100% positive, confident that we’re identical
NO, im not going to send you a picture of myself, or myself and my twin side by side. I get this all the time Don’t even bother asking or messaging for it

2024.05.15 23:44 Childofgod0001 Just found out my situationship’s dad called me a racial slur years ago

So i started Uni late last year; The Situation-shipcall him Shaun,( not his real name btw) we met thru Uni after months of flirting. We exchanged Instagram and Snapchat, in his insta his bio has full name. Well me being the detective that i am, i start searching him up on facebook. I searched for his family and found his dad.
This man seemed so familiar, at first i thought i saw him at our shops. It sat at the back of my mind till today. I live in Australia, i’m 19 and i have only been shouted at with a racial slur by a moving car 2 times. One time was when i was 15 walking back home from the Connor shop and another time was when i was 17 in year 12 going to hang with friends after school. Well that time it was his dad and even the worse part i think he might be the one driving the car because i remember the car, his dad big neck and a green P on the car meaning the driving is under 21 and had their license for more than 6 months to let the other drivers know.
Well i blocked him on everything. Respectfully F him and his bloodline. My first red flag should of been that he was a white South African. Welp i learnt my lesson never again white South African guys.

2024.05.15 22:27 akittyisyou Scouts, Guides and other youth organisations

My oldest child is approaching club-joining age and as she goes to school outside of our village, I’m eager to get her involved in a youth group in her community. I’m also a blow in, and equally eager to volunteer.
Here’s the thing. First of all, I haven’t been involved in an organisation like that since leaving Girl’s Brigade aged 7.
Second of all, we don’t have religion in our house and have tried our best not to have our kids have Christianity presented to them as “the default.” I went to a majorly over the top Catholic secondary school where there was no way to opt out of the many, MANY religious elements, and as an adult I’m a bit bitter about it. My wife is not Irish, and her upbringing was purely atheistic. (I don’t begrudge anyone their right to raise their child in whatever religion they want. We talk about different religions at home and never say any are wrong, just that some people believe x, some people believe y.)
I don’t want my child to have to regularly opt out of stuff because it’s religious. I checked my local scout group’s Facebook page to see if they were looking for volunteers and the most recent post is the whole club having a special mass. They seem to have a pledge in the guides and the scouts to God and I don’t know how regularly it comes up.
Third of all, we’re a same sex parent family. Look, I’m ready to raise hell if my daughter gets bullied because of that. What I’m not ready for is, as a volunteer, having a parent complain that they don’t agree with my lifestyle and I shouldn’t be around their kids. Maybe this sounds hypocritical given what I just said.
I suppose the question is, which is the most accepting youth group, preferably with the least religious element? And less importantly, which one is going to take me as I am as a volunteer, inexperienced lesbian as I am?
