Apologies in advance for any spelling errors emotions are running high as I’m writing this.
For context this happened a few days ago.
I, M 24 have been in a relationship with my boyfriend who I’ll call Red (Not his real name), M 23 for around 4 years now after we met at our mutual friends house. We had hit it off after a few drinks and I ended the night with his number and 3 months later we started chatting exclusively and 6 months later we started dating. (At this point in time we hadn’t met each other’s families and he hadn’t mentioned them during the whole 9 month period.) When we first started dating Ill admit I was head over heels and wanted him to meet my family (I have a rather large family) right away and was quite pushy about them meeting although we hadn’t been dating for 5 months at that point. But he talked me out of it saying I was “Moving too fast.” I dont know if that was a red flag or not but I don’t think it was. Anyways, around 1.5-2 years ago I learned that Red had a little brother 23 M (they are twins, Red was just born first by a little over 5 hours.) which came as a shock to me because during our entire relationship Red had never mentioned his brother and was every adamant that not only did he and his family weren’t close but that he had cut them all off. I which was a major red flag for me because for starters I had only met his brother because I had a package delivered to his house and need to pick it up. I have a key to his house but I have a habit of knocking because I OCD. So imagine my shock when the door is opened by not Red but someone who looked suspiciously like him who immediately asked me who I was. When I told him I was asking for Red (MY boyfriend) he said he wasn’t home and that he was at the store and he’ll tell him that someone came to the door to ask for him. At which I told him that I was his boyfriend and that I needed to pick up a package. He looked a little suspicious but let me in regardless and we sat in the living room and talked till red came home. I was really curious about who these mystery person was and for a while thought Red was cheating on me until his brother who I’ll call Jane (Not his real name) informed me that he was reds twin brother. I was in shock because for two years Red had told me that he had not relationship with any of his family and here’s his twin brother in his house. (I’ve been to his house before and at not pint in time did he ever have any roommates or other people living in his apartment. So it was shocking and I felt really betrayed because at that point he had already met my family.) Me and Jane made more small talk till Red came home 20 something minutes later and was shocked to see both me and Jane sitting on the couch. I was gonna stay for longer after red came home but the moment I saw his face I just couldn’t and ended up leaving shortly after. I couldn’t stop thinking about how he never told me he had a brother and later that night at like 8 pm I texted him and asked him why he never told me he had a brother nonetheless a TWIN brother and why he lied about cutting off all his family. He responded 2 hours later at 10 and asked me to call him which I did and I he told me that the reason he never told me about Jane was because although he actually didn’t cut all his family off but those he did still talk too he didn’t tell other people about too which I asked why? Only to be met with him avoiding the question and trying to steer the conversation away from his family and more to about my day which was the next red flag. We got into an argument and he walked away from the phone but didn’t hang up so I did and I ended up blocking him for 2 days before he showed up at my door apologizing up and down and swearing to never keep a secret from me again which I had believed. For the next 2 years that wasn’t the last I’d seen of Jane and I learned that Red and Jane were extremely close. (Idk if it’s a twin thing but they are just really close) But at multiple points in our relationship I thought they’ve been too close if that’s even possible. For example when we had planned an anniversary trip together and went we started discussing locations he wouldn’t agree to certain places because “Jane wouldn’t be comfortable with him going there.” Or “Jane wouldn’t like that.” When I asked why it mattered what jane liked because it’s not like he was going, he said something along the lines of. “Just let it go.” Or would just ignore me till I started talking about a different place which threw off my flow for the rest of the planning. Or when he pushed back out trip for almost a month because he didn’t want to leave Jane alone. (Jane is autistic and possibly physically disabled which I swear is important but he’s not low functioning and even lives in his own with a job.) When I brought this up Red glared at me without saying anything but let it go after a while. This is only one example of their relationship coming between things we had planned but there are plenty more examples of them being physically close as well. (Cuddling togethe sitting extremely close to each other, Jane following Red around to the point something’s they walk in sync, feeding one another,hugging for extended periods of time, playing with each other’s hands/hair ext.) I swear if they didn’t look so similar you’d think they were the ones dating. I won’t lie I’ve found myself being jealous/ disgusted at the way they treat each other but I had pushed it aside because I convinced myself that Red was just looking out for Jane. (Before you question that like I said while Jane isn’t behind mentally or anything you can see he struggles with a lot things like standing for long periods of time and often goes non verbal or only makes illegible noise that Red understands.) So I truly pushed my thoughts aside because I didn’t want to be seen as an overprotective or anything and it’s not like I have anything against Jane or anything but sometimes it’s just really fucking weird. But recently I’ve reached my limit when I went to Reds apartment and when I opened the door I saw janes phone on the counter. Which is really at weird because at the end of the day theyre family and that’s not weird but what was weird was that Jane nor Red were anywhere to be found. I had walked around the apartment for a while till I got Reds bedroom and saw both of them laying in bed together (They weren’t naked or anything but they were like laying ontop on one another, like cuddling skin to skin whilst clothed from what I could see.) When I walked in a saw them next to each other all the memories of the way they had acted with eachother rushed into my head and I just assumed the worst and started screaming and cursing which got Reds attention and he immediately sat up and started screaming back at me asking me what I was scream about and we started a screaming match and I told him off about his weird behaviour with Jane and how brothers don’t act that way with each other until they are getting with eachother and he froze and just started at me and before he could say anything else I left his apartment and drove back home. (If jane had said anything I didn’t hear it over the screaming but idk) I don’t know who the tell this to or what to do because I’m well aware that siblings don’t act that way and that something has to be going on but I don’t know how to talk to Red about it and I don’t think I should bring this up to anyone close friends because of bias so I’m asking Reddit. What do I do???

I’m a student in New Brunswick until the end of the year, and am originally from Ontario and have an Ontario health card.
I currently have extreme pain in the right side of my face from my lower jaw up to my upper cheek ? It’s lasted 3 days straight with no relief and I’m unsure of what to do as I’m not familiar with emergency dental care. Unfortunately it’s the first time in my life I’m uninsured with no job, and being a student at a private college.
Really confused on what to do. Is emergency dental care insured with my OHIP, but the prescriptions should this be an infection paid out of pocket? And where can one even go in NB?
Thank you !

I (19f) said I would take my friends (19f) boyfriends dog bc they were going to take her to a kill shelter. The reason they stated was Daisy the dog was food agressive and bit a kid. They also told me that they had left her unattended with the child that was One. Year. Old. They told me that she knew a lot of things she didnt. Daisy was not suppsed to stay with me long term. I was supposed to find her a new home. But since she has stayed with me, I have become attached and have since already changed her tags and microchip over to my name. Along with the fact they said she would come with a lot of things she didn't for example her food. Yes they gave me her bed and cage and bowls. The boyfriend (21m) has admitted to trying to "train" the food aggression out of her by bopping her on the nose. First off you can't train a dog not to be food aggressive if it's food aggressive you have to work around it. He has also confirmed that when she bit the Child in a moment of rage he punched her in the neck, then through her in the cage till I came to get her.
I have since getting her spent over $200 on this dog bc I have found various conditions with her, like hip displasia, elbow displasia, and possibly the starting of arthritis. So far every thing they have told me about Daisy has been a lie. Leading me to believe that the child had to of done something to Daisy in order for her to bite. They only time she has bit has been playfully. When I through around her toy. And now they have texted me about them getting an apartment together soon and taking back the dog. I don't know what to do in this situation.
Sry it's so disorganized I kinda just started ranting

So..I recently broke up with my first, longest partner. I moved back in with my family. I’m the oldest of 4 (23F). I have no job, career aspirations, a little bit of money saved up, 3 childhood friends. Despite, I feel like a disappointment. I went from a fiancée.. to a single, lonely woman. I hate being back home, I feel like I’ve let down my siblings. We sort of have a toxic household too. I don’t know how to get my life together again.. or even what I want to do. Forget that, what I need to do. I look everywhere for guidance, to no avail. I don’t know how to be alone again.. my priorities changed during the relationship. I was a house-fiancee, loved, given attention, and now I’m expected to just go back into dating? I guess what I’d like to know is how do I pick myself back up? Thanks for listening, and any advice is appreciated, no matter how harsh.

I made it through a Saturday without drinking which I thought would be impossible. I woke up feeling great. It was so bizarre I almost couldn’t deal with it. It made me mad how good I felt, because I think I still would have picked drinking if there were no consequences.
I went to the morning Muay Thai class, and took myself out to breakfast at a place that didn’t have alcohol, which I would never normally consider. I went to the record store and bought two records. I got a pedicure. It isn’t even halfway through the day. What is all of this time?
My wife and I went and ran errands. We went on a side mission and balled out at 5 below.
I will say this, I am definitely spending too much money 😂
Anyway, the last part of the day was when we had to go to my coworker’s wedding, which I’ve been worried about all week. Surprisingly people weren’t really drinking? It was a lot less pressure than I’d been expecting. I was painfully aware of how awkward everything was, but I didn’t care because I wasn’t the one making it awkward by being shitfaced.
At some point everyone started doing shots and forgetting that I wasn’t drinking and trying to offer me shots, which is when I called it a night.
I came home and folded laundry while my wife watched tv. I asked her if I was annoying sober, because without alcohol I’m just constantly go go go. She said no, we’ll see how long that lasts lol. Alcohol is the only thing that’s ever slowed me down, and it slowed me down a lot!
It’s weird, everything in my life already feels easier and more hopeful, but drinking is still all I can think about. I know that feeling will fade.
At the wedding my closest coworker, and one of the main reasons I’ve stayed at my job, told me that he’s leaving. That really made me want to drink, but I’m hoping that this sobriety finally gives me to confidence and energy to get my stuff together and start looking myself.
I guess now it’s technically day 7. I have no idea how made it this far, I think I’m just stubborn about proving that I can.
Thanks for listening!

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and medication + therapy have been a game changer. However, it still affects my life in so many ways - specifically work & home.
We're going on 4 years of marriage and I feel like my husband has had a very difficult time accepting our differences especially pertaining to my ADHD. He is very efficient, a planner, 5 steps ahead at all times, a leader, and prides himself on his consistency with everything he does. We are polar opposites.. I do things as I please, I prioritize peace, joy, rest, doing what fulfills me...I take my time with most things. I have really bad time management. If I set out to do 4 tasks I usually only get 1-1.5 things done.
No kids, we both work full time and are both pursuing our Masters. I'm a semester away from my Masters in mental health counseling. For me, I'm working on understating what ADHD looks like for me and how I can manage it and still be successful and do well. He has gotten so frustrated with my inconsistency that it seems to be causing distance between us and it's so hurtful. I'm not sure what to do or what I can work on, more than I already have.
He says he just needs to get to a place of acceptance and I'm concerned bc we plan to start a family later this year. But I don't see how we could be ready for that, when we have this tension between us that is so prominent. I often feel rejected and alone and it's just not what I envisioned for my marriage. I'm sure this isn't what he envisioned either. We want to work on things but not sure what to do when so much of what frustrates him are things I can't help. I just want to be loved fully for me. Anyone been through this or have any advice?

I'm 25F and living at home, though currently applying for jobs and looking into apartments. I've been negligent of my health for a while, mostly because I didn't have the time nor assertiveness to take charge of my health. In the past few months, however, I have started making appointments as minor health issues piled up. So why is this context important?
My parents noticed I was making more doctor's appointments and asked why I was going. I didn't tell them, but when they said, "You need to let us know if something serious is going on." I simply said, "Nothing serious is happening. I haven't gone to the doctor's in a while, so I'm a little behind. I will tell you if you need to know." They were irked, but dropped it.
Last week I bought a pill case last time I was at the store to better keep track of the medicine the doctor recommended I use. My mom saw it and asked why I needed it. I said, "For my pills." She started questioning me about what medications I was taking and I didn't tell her. She began raising her voice, asking, "Is it something you shouldn't be taking?" and saying, "I NEED to know what you're taking!!" I continued to stand my ground, explicitly stating, "It's my medical information. I am allowed to keep it private." She responded, "If something were to happen to you, I would need to know what you're taking!! If I had to call an ambulance, what do I tell them if I don't know what you're taking?" (Let's pause here--I have never needed an ambulance. I have never gone to the ER. I am not suicidal and never have been.). I told her she just needs to tell the EMT that she doesn't know what I'm taking. She was yelling at this point, citing a story about someone who committed suicide while on medication (again, not suicidal. Never self harmed.). I informed her knowing someone's medication does not prevent suicide. She started scoffing, saying that my resistance to disclosing my medication "tells her everything she needs to know." I continued asserting that I have my own insurance and I pay for my medications. I said, "I'm 25 and have a right to privacy. This is a fair boundary to have." While yelling, she says: "This isn't about legal rights! You think I'm violating your privacy--fine! Take me to jail!!"
I ended up telling her what I was taking since she was about to pop a vein.
Are you curious to know my medications? Perhaps you're thinking, "Surely there must be something serious going on to prompt such a reaction!" I'll satiate your curiosity--iron supplements and stool softener. Yes, for real. Titillating, isn't it?
So now I'm angry. Yes, at my mom. But I'm angry at myself, too. While she was yelling, I kept reminding myself to let her be mad and I should continue to hold a boundary. I reminded myself multiple times. But I still told her. I feel let down by myself. I folded to someone who has forced me to fold for my whole life. I'm so angry at myself. Why can't I just be content with the knowledge that I know what I'm taking and that's all that's important? I tend to be hard on myself. I feel like I gave into my bully instead of protecting myself. My parents have always been invasive, but now that I'm an adult it actually seems like they've gotten worse.

Hello, I desperately need advice/insights.
My summer internship [CA] at a biotech company was rescinded. They had been asking for my transcripts, which I could not provide for some time because there was a delay in transcript processing at my institution which I communicated with them. I am a transfer student, so my GPA was only based on 6 courses, one of which I failed and got approved for a late withdrawal due to extenuating health circumstances. Unfortunately, my school took 6 months to update my transcript despite me emailing them every week about it. With the correct "W" on my transcript, my GPA met the job requirements. However, due to the school's delay and the company's persistence, I sent my transcripts with incorrect grading that did not meet the GPA requirement and an explanation saying it would be fixed. They rescinded my offer a week later and ghosted me for lying and not having the correct GPA, even though technically I do and did. HR said it was the "processing team," who made this decision. I followed up with my corrected transcript the next day as I had the school expedite it and a letter from the dean saying what my accurate GPA was and the timeline needed for the school to make this change.
Since then, the company has not responded to my attempts to clarify the situation. I am feeling absolutely devastated and lost, unsure of what steps to take next. Should I have done anything different in this situation? I applied for this job around a year ago and got accepted in February.

Very long post so heres the tl; dr:
mother is a horrible person, extremely right wing and narcissistic, extremely controlling of me and I’m reaching my breaking point.
now the actual post:
Ok, this is kind of a vent post. It has more to do with narcissistic parenting than LGBT things, but it’s kind of related.
So my mom has always been a MAGA at heart. It was the way she was raised, in a small conservative town, where the church was where she made friends. Now this wasn’t really a direct issue for me until I realized I was queer, but beyond the MAGA ideology, she is an insane narcissist.
My grandma has agreed with me. She acts high and mighty, but as soon as you question her, she lets down her boiling rage unto you. Like, for example she has taken money for an award that I won, about $200, “for safekeeping” but when I asked about it a few weeks earlier we got into a screaming match about whether I even got money for it. When I showed her proof I did she grounded me and took away everything I owned.
Another time she wouldn’t let me drive 5 minutes to a track meet (I’m in track) as she was “worried I would crash” even though I’ve been driving for over a year. My father is no better. He allows for this to happen and when I question her, he says “just play the game”. As if to say that I must humor this horrible person who I’ve had the unwanted pleasure of living with.
However, this wretchedness of hers has recently ramped up because of the fascinating app named Facebook. What an amazing app, right? It turned a MAGA head into an even more right wing monstrosity. Now she’s an anti vaxxer, makes me plug my phone in outside my room in fear of the “5g”, won’t let me go into the sea in fear of “shallow-water sharks”, and won’t let me go thrifting (one of the few things that actually makes me happy) due to “them not washing the clothes” WHICH THEY DO!
I swear to god, she lives based on fear and then plays the victim card when you tire of her fucking bullshit. And then just recently she caught me wearing eyeliner and threw a hissy fit about how “no son of hers would be a fa*got”. I was able to convince her it was just one of my friends that put it on me.
This isn’t the first time she’s shamed me either, when I got caught SH’ing she screamed how “no son of hers would do something so horrible” and said that I was a “fucking idiot”. And then only after that did she try to comfort me asking what was wrong... She just fuels me with rage and then has the gall to come into my room and say some shit like “I feel like you don’t talk to me”. LIKE NO FUCKING SHIT I DON’T, YOU’RE THE REASON I WANT TO MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND CHANGE MY NAME. and not to mention im not exactly the most sociable person so I already have incredible mental health issues (hence the sh) but then she adds onto them by being a horrible person.
But then, after all this. she has the fucking nerve to come into my room and say she loves me? I’m pulling my goddamn hair out because of this hag and then she says she “loves me”. You don’t get to make me feel bad after ruining me like you did. Oh another thing, she is constantly invading my privacy, until recently shes had a parenting software on my phone (could look at my screen from her screen, block all apps, etc) and also has life360 to track me wherever I go. Like whenever i stopped by the dollar tree literally less than a minute away from my school and when I got home she screamed at me and took everything away from me, including my god damn door as if i have too much privacy.
I’m honestly reaching my breaking point and worried that I might do something i regret because oh my god i just can’t take any of her shit anymore.
anyone here relate 😘😘

I’m at my wits end rn and I’m convinced that my family has multiple bloodline curses on both sides that have been falling upon me and are trying to take me out before I get to the good part of my life.
For context, My mom died when I was 13 from cancer after a turbulent battle with her mental health (constant cycles of mania and depression) and my dad has been an in and out alcoholic my whole life, losing all the money he gains despite working all the time. ALL (emphasis on all because it’s actually insane) the women in my mom’s side (my mom, my aunt, my grandma and great grandma) lost their children to the system for as long as we can remember, and all the oldest men on both sides struggle with heavy addiction that I can only akin to a jinx.
I’m convinced I’m a curse breaker. Every struggled with every mental health battle and barrier I can imagine in life from homelessness to addiction to mania. I’ve survived through every single even off the strength and mental fortitude I’ve had for myself since I came out of the womb. My mother named me Christian because she said I came out praying for everyone when I was born. After all of the hardships I’ve encountered, I’ve spent every waking hour since quarantine improving my spiritual and mental health, and studying esoteric knowledge. I don’t practice hoodoo, but I’ve been feeling it call to me and I found out my father’s grandparents (and probably my paternal grandmother) all practiced rootwork.
So my reason for making this. After years of living with my adopted mom, I finally decided to move out on my own. I have roommates and 2 jobs and am on the course to go back to school in the fall after having to pay for college myself. But right when it seems like everything is about to be well in my life, I keep feeling this feeling like something is trying to stop me from succeeding. I think it’s a bloodline jinx, because my brother has been experiencing similar symptoms after recently turning 19. All of the jobs we work keep getting shut down. We both got scammed multiple times, and now my finances are in the worst detriment I’ve ever seen. Mentally and spiritually, I can feel abundance around the corner, but I also feel like the jinxes are stronger than ever. But everything happens for a reason.
IF ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN PRACTICING HOODOO CAN REACH OUT AND DO WORKS ON ME AND MY BROTHERS TO LIFT THE BLOODLINE CURSES AND FIX OUR FINANCES SO WE CAN FINALLY MAKE IT OUT OF THE STRUGGLES WE’VE ENDURED OUR ENTIRE LIVES, I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. I don’t have much money rn, not enough to even buy materials so I guess I’m asking for a favor, but I’m willing to pay whatever it takes to turn the tides in our favor. Please someone help.

I will be going to college this year so I was searching for a productivity laptop wih good processor and didn't require graphics in 50-55 k inr price range and found asus vivobook was a good laptop. Found a good deal offline with ryzen 7 5800h and 16gb ram + integrated graphics under 48 k and I was also getting a laptop bag . Online the price was above 57k so it was the best deal I was getting in the price range .
Few days Ago amazon summer sale was going on and there was a i5 asus vivobook which was there for 48k same price and with credit card discount it would be 43k. But my father doesn't use credit card as he was once scammed so I told him we better buy it offline and he agreed . So yesterday I went with my father to buy it and at that moment he asked him if there was a laptop in 40-41 and there was a hp and dell i3 ig but I was u series. I told him performance was not better and better to buy the ryzen 7 and it was h series also but he told me to buy the u one only . So my father asked him how much would the series processor in hp cost and he said there is a hp victus gaming laptop and I did not want to buy that as it would hv A low battery life and I have heard several cases of hp hinge breaking and other issues . My father told me to finalize it as He was a hp fan and he believed asus was a bad laptop . I said him to give me 30 mjn to think abt it and the shop owner was also making us hurry so he didn't even give me time to compare the specs properly and it was finalized within 4 min .
After coming home when I compared the specs and saw the reviews asus seemed better and . Hp one had 8gb ram + people said it had heating issues and it was double the weight of the asus one whereas asus had ryzen 7 and 16 gb ram + It had ms office 21 for completely free + it had a premium feel too and both were of the same price and people were saying the graphics difference was also slight in both of these. So now I am a bit sad that I should have chosen the asus one. I do not regret it as even asus he gave me the best he could and many people do not get that even . So was it a good decision and will it last long like 5 years ? And if you use any of these 2 please give a review .

My mom passed away suddenly in her sleep earlier this month. The medical examiner found she had cirrhosis of the liver. She had been struggling with fatigue, poor appetite, and overall feeling bad in the weeks prior to her death, but I never thought it would result in this. I'm devastated. My mom originally turned to alcohol years ago to cope with my abusive dad. She filed for divorce last year, found a loving & supportive partner, and was doing really well. But she couldn't kick this damn thing. She went to rehab for about a month last year and I got the items she brought home. One of her assignments while she was there was to paint a mask - the front was what she portrayed to the outside world, while the inside showed how she really felt. In her paper explaining her mask, she said she felt like a loser for not being able to get sober. And that absolutely broke me. My mom and I had a few rocky years during her addiction, but these past 2 years we had gotten back to our close relationship. I know how badly she wanted to get sober. She finally had a great support team motivating her, she had started to gain some of her confidence back.I was so looking forward to seeing her free of this disease. None of it is fair and my heart is shattered. I miss my momma.

So I was recently laid off from my ex employer. And last week I went to a DC government job hiring event, and was lucky enough to land a 2nd interview for this Public Health Position. The recruiter who also would be a supervisor if I do get the job , says I am a strong candidate and would love to get a second interview with me.
My only concern is, when it comes time to talk about my desired salary. The job posting says 72k-93k. I have prior work experience that alines with the job responsibilities and I am a Spanish speaker . The job is far from my house but I told the recruiter I’m fine with the drive .
I want to know what’s the best way to ask for a salary 87k-91k. Once they ask me who much I am expected to be paid , and what should I say if they they counter.

I’ve been in about 5 serious romantic relationships since early high school and I’ve initiated the breakup in all of them. Is it weird to not really feel bad about each one?
The last two really stand out to me. The first one lasted a year, we fell in love and out of nowhere intimacy died 3 months in. I need to feel physical intimacy to really feel loved so after trying for 9 months I dumped him. He was crushed, but i didn’t really cry or feel much regret for the situation. Of course I felt bad for him and wasn’t ruthless or mean when I broke up with him, I just didn’t really feel loved myself and didn’t want to feel like a roommate. I was mostly just relieved I could put mental energy into myself.
2 months ago I met this amazing man. He’s my type, romantic, good career, we can talk about everything and anything, i’ve never been able to talk to someone so genuine in my life. I don’t really believe in soulmates, but he’s pretty close to one. Today he told me he’s not really willing to be long distance, and i broke things off with him because i need to stay and take care of my family. He was destroyed, but I can’t help but feel indifference towards the whole situation. My friends told me this is sorta weird behavior, is this wrong?
I feel bad when I hurt people, but I don’t feel hurt myself when this happens. I’m not depressed, I don’t have this indifference towards anything else really, only when we break up. I just think there’s plenty of fish in the sea and if this one didn’t work out, it is what it is. I have a very active life, good job, and hobbies I pursue every day, but i’m not too busy so they get in the way of relationships. i have a lot of free time. Is this a symptom of something? should i stop this? i dont really know how
tl;dr i don’t really feel sad after breakups i just think there’s more people out there and i move on practically the moment it happens is that weird?

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and medication + therapy have been a game changer. However, it still affects my life in so many ways - specifically work & home.
We're going on 4 years of marriage and I feel like my husband has had a very difficult time accepting our differences especially pertaining to my ADHD. He is very efficient, a planner, 5 steps ahead at all times, a leader, and prides himself on his consistency with everything he does. We are polar opposites.. I do things as I please, I prioritize peace, joy, rest, doing what fulfills me...I take my time with most things. I have really bad time management. If I set out to do 4 tasks I usually only get 1-1.5 things done.
No kids, we both work full time and are both pursuing our Masters. I'm a semester away from my Masters in mental health counseling. For me, I'm working on understating what ADHD looks like for me and how I can manage it and still be successful and do well. He has gotten so frustrated with my inconsistency that it seems to be causing distance between us and it's so hurtful. I'm not sure what to do or what I can work on, more than I already have.
He says he just needs to get to a place of acceptance and I'm concerned bc we plan to start a family later this year. But I don't see how we could be ready for that, when we have this tension between us that is so prominent. I often feel rejected and alone and it's just not what I envisioned for my marriage. I'm sure this isn't what he envisioned either. We want to work on things but not sure what to do when so much of what frustrates him are things I can't help. I just want to be loved fully for me. Anyone been through this or have any advice?

My (18m) mom is psychotic, but for whatever reason nobody in my family gives a shit. She has always been a little crazy (she believes in every conspiracy theory in the book), but she didn’t really go off the deep end until my dad divorced her when I was 4. Since then, she has gotten progressively crazier to an unmanageable level. I could write an epic just filled with everything she’s done that’s crazy, but I will just hit the highlights.

• when I was in kindergarten, she told me on the way home from school that Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and everything in between were not real.
• when I was a child, she constantly filled my head with the idea that I was going to be tortured and killed in the future for being a Christian. She also made it seem like I was going to go to hell if I sinned at all. I used to shower and bathe at the hottest temperature possible as a kid because i wanted to get prepared for hell.
• when I was 8 years old, she joined a cult (or pseudo religion, or whatever you want to call it) called Hebrew Roots. The basic premise was Judaism plus Jesus, but with no grace. From 8 years old and on she had me follow the rules of Judaism (rest on Friday and Saturday, don’t eat certain foods, etc,) even though I am not Jewish.
• since I was 8, she has taken me on numerous “vacations” which mostly consisted of visiting a friend in her religion (most notably a Native American chief) and studying the Old Testament for 10-12 hours a day.
• my sister used to live with my mom. For her 21st birthday, she “wore a revealing dress and went to the club on a Friday night (sabbath)” my mom kicked her out of the house for this, and she was homeless for some time.
• she said to me “where did we go wrong with you?” Because I said I didn’t like to cook (not in a joking way)
• she constantly pitted me against my dad when I was a kid, from sending him an email to “not persecute my religion”, to telling me my brother chose my dad and my sister chose her, and I would have to choose a side
• she constantly has childlike temper tantrums and meltdowns for no reason. I always have to comfort her, and most of my life I have felt like I had to be a parent to her instead of the other way around -she gets upset at anything and everything “non-biblical”
• one time, I wasn’t showing just enough excitement about what she was talking about (I think Old Testament numerals) and she started to sob and recount everything bad that has ever happened to her (everything from my dad divorcing her to her high school boyfriend cheating on her)
• one time, she saw MF DOOM rings I had put in the Amazon shopping cart, and said that I was “opening a portal to the spirit world”
• I started seeing a therapist about a year and a half ago, and she has probably said 25 plus times that she “respects confidentiality.” Then, in a recent vacation, she had a meltdown when I refused to share what I talked to my therapist about, and told my dad I “have no interest in having a relationship” with her.

I live with my dad, and since we moved to St. Louis from fl 5 years ago, I have not seen my mom that much (thankfully). The problem is, all my close family are pushing me to be nice and accept my mom for who she is. My dad and brother both think I am overreacting when I say I don’t want to see her. This means I am effectively permanently stuck with being friendly with my mom, as I do not want to alienate my other family members. I hate that someone can do so much shit to you and get off scot free.

Okay, so I will give all the background information first and then explain my issue, aka, the part where I need advice.
I am 22 years old, just graduated from college and about to start my first “adult job” in the next coming months (I will be a teacher!!). I live at home with my parents, reasons being: 1) I went to college 10 minutes away and it was cheaper than housing 2) my family is very isolated and we quite iterally are the only 3 people in our family, so I’m close with my parents because they are my only family, and 3) my parents have told me several times that I am welcome with live with them for as long as I need/want so that I can save money and all sorts. I am very grateful for them!!
I currently have a 2017 Civic which my parents bought for me brand new after I got my license. Again, I am extremely grateful and I LOVE my Civic. It has got me through nearly 7 years of school and life!!
My new job a city over which is about 30-45 minutes away and all interstate. I have not had problems with my Civic and I truly believe it will last me until I die. I know that. However, I am the type of person who likes new and so I do tend to gravitate towards things I don’t really need.
I have a lot of money saved up, and have decided that I would like to trade my car in for a newer Honda SUV model, (a car that might do better where I live for icy winters and snow) and pay for the rest (or most of the rest) in cash. I would also like to pay for the insurance and payments on my own— which my parents have very kindly always done for me. I would also like to mention that I have done a TON of research on this entire thing as it has been stewing in my brain for months.
My “reasoning”, or more so my way of justifying buying a car over moving out for those people I know will ask/be curious about, is because realistically, in my state with the salary and savings I have, moving out within the next year or even two isn’t reasonable, unfortunately. If I were to move out rather than buy the car per se, it would be about another 6-8 years before I could think about upgrading my vehicle which at that point will’ve dropped in value even more. I would also be basically living check to check, so all my money would be towards the house and things for me to live. I also think that considering I really have never truly ever paid for anything in my life, that a small car payment and car insurance would be a good way for me to develop some responsibility as an adult.
Long story short, which honestly doesn’t relate to the background info as much as I was thinking, I am wondering how I could APPROACH my parents about doing something like this? I want them to know how grateful I am and what I want to do. I’m pretty determined about my decision, but I really don’t want to hurt their feelings about trading in the car they bought me or make them think I’m being super irresponsible. Maybe I am. But, I don’t know, I’m young and dumb, so sometimes I think about life, how short it is and ultimately start feeling impulsive. I have never asked/talked to my parents about something like this or really anything “big”, to be honest. I’m not sure how to start the conversation without being disrespectful or causing them stress. Also, buying cars in my family is very normal as my dad does so every couple years, if that means anything to you— it did for my personal justification lol.
Also, I would like to respectfully say that I understand not everyone will agree with me or anything I have said, and I don’t expect people to. That’s why I didn’t give any specific details. I’m just here asking for advice on how to talk to my parents about a situation which is considered big in my 3 person family. Thank you for your help!

She called me immediately because she can pick up on my subtext, even though we've always lived at least 1,000 miles from one another. It's bizarre how in sync we are.
She knew from my dumb little joke how I really felt. I would never say this to my spouse, but in many ways, I hate how my life turned out.
I didn't want to be tied down. I wanted to travel the world; work in Antarctica and see Japan. I wanted to cook the most amazing food I never could have dreamed of, drink the finest wines and cocktails. I wanted to be able to fuck whomever I wanted. I wanted to surround myself with people who shared my desire to live life submerged in the esoteric, beautiful, and fleeting moments.
I wanted to live like the world is ending, because every goddamned day, it seems like it is.
I have a good husband. Yeah, he's a lazy stoner stereotype, but he's a good, kind man who's a wonderful father and supportive spouse. He's also an indoor cat who's an incredibly picky eater. I also find him boring.
I mean, dude eats as if you gave a 12 year old money to buy enough food for the weekend and left him to his own devices. I'm talking frozen mini pizzas and chicken nuggets. He doesn't see the value in eating out ever, and has only ever left the comfort of home by my insistence.
I'm not unaware of my situation though. Dude told me from jump he wanted a family. He's never hidden anything from me. He was the only man I'd ever been with who never looked at me with expectation or premise in his eyes.
I picked this. I know that.
We moved here to Maine from the west coast because he missed his family. I'm from the Midwest and I don't have strong ties with my family, so it was an easy move.
I work for a company that works with restaurants, without being in kitchens myself. It was a lateral move so I could start a family. On one hand I miss it because it's long hours for alright pay, but I was exposed to some really wonderful things. My job now is meh pay with restaurant hours that fits perfectly with my husband's work schedule so our daughter gets plenty of time with both of us plus shared days off.
I'm just fucking bored andevery day, I see the hourglass of my life trickling away with not much to show for it.
I feel doomed at the shitty situations in the United States that was started when my parents were young. They were sold the American Dream™️, which they passed to my siblings and I. College was a necessity, because that was how one becomes successful. Credit scores were invented in the '80s and wages have been stagnating longer than that. We're wage slaves, and housing and food costs "are out of control", which the oligarchy we live in invented and maintains. The three of us and our two cats are crammed in a 1 bedroom apartment because it's all we can afford.
What's that? Seek help?
I haven't found a therapist that is worth what I pay them, because they don't offer real solutions. I do have a prescription for an antidepressant. This is bigger than that. Lmk if you want my depression playlist.
I want to tear up my life and start from scratch. I wish I had chosen a different path. If I could go back to 18 and rewrite things, knowing what I know now, I would.
I applaud you if you've made it this far honestly. I'm probably going to delete this tomorrow anyway. Cheers. Thanks for reading.

Im going insane trying to pick out what curriculum would be perfect for my 5 year old. Our state does a hybrid program in Washington where they go to school a couple of hours 2x a week but the main lessons are done at home with the parents. The school does help pay for curriculum but they also have an "approved list" of alternative curriculums we can taeach our kid if we buy it ourselves. For instance, the math program they provide is Math with Confidence, but Singapore Dimensions, BA and Right start are also on the list of approved programs. Ive heard great things about all of them!!
Im getting to the point to where I will choose a curriculum after reading reviews and then think what if this is the wrong one? In math alone Ive switched between Singapore, MWC and RS so many times. I have all the other subjects to choose a program for. I noticed they provide a free Handwrtinting without tears curriculum but they also provide free Zane-Bloser program for handwriting as well.
I guess Im looking for someone to tell me it is okay if I make the wrong choice and it is not the end of the world if my kid doesnt mesh well with a program I choose. We printed out the free lessons for a couple of them and she likes them all. This is just so overwhelming, I just dont want to mess it up.
Sorry for any typos, It is written in a rush
