2024.05.21 16:31 Either-Working8182 Is there any documentation that actually helps?

Has anyone read documentation on anything that gave you all the information youd need to make a game like red dead redemption or something of equal complexity? I read guides for days and official documentation and all I learn is how to do is make shitty shooter games or "pick up these gems and progress to the next level :D". What about real stuff? Like for example, I still dont know how to have the default pawn class be possessed by AI for a brief moment, like during a cinematic, and then give possession back to player. Or how to even reference a level sequence in a blueprint (setting it to anything is greyed out and when I can there are no event nodes). Or how to add a track to a level sequence for an actor that is spawned in after play begins. Or why acceptance radius on a move to never works. Or where the hell these variable names are coming from. Or what general structure of heirarchy unreal uses, because its never consistent.
Like do I seriously have to go through the entire engine code to find out how this shit works? Why is there no decent documentation on this, its like I have to assume everything, then google it and find out from someone on a forum, and then find out thats the worst way to do it, and then when I find the best solution I realise that by just reading the ue5 documentation I would have never got to that point because there isnt any documentation on it in the first place. Its like everyone who knows anything about the engine has gone through the entire engine code, all its variables and somehow memorised them all. This seems to be the only way to learn how to use this engine, or else youre just watching some shitty youtube video or reading some forum of someone whos probably teaching you how to do the 50th best way to do something.

2024.05.21 16:30 InternalSchedule2861 Will doctors prescribe chemical castration medication turn off erotic desires?

I have autism and have always been attracted to the naked body of a woman.
While I understand that this is allowed to be enjoyed within the privacy of marriage, men and women do not marry or remain married to each other in heaven (Matthew 22:30).
I also understand that our heavenly bodies will not have erotic desires and reproductive abilities (1 Corinthians 7:27-31, Isaiah 56:4-5) so we will not care about these things not being there.
Despite this, it still bothers me a lot that these desires I find attractive will not be part of our heavenly bodies.
People have told me you will not care because the desire is not there, but it still does not make me feel any better about it.
There will still be spiritual beauty, non-erotic love, and non-revealing clothed beauty, but nakedness will not be there.
Nakedness will not be there even in a non-erotic way despite us having no sinful nature like how Adam and Eve used to be because apparently, nakedness is ultimately something shameful even in the absence of sin, and Adam and Eve just did not know it at first, and we will wear white linen in heaven (Revelation 19:7).
Read 'Why We Don't Walk Around Naked' from Desiring God.
So even if I can marry and enjoy a woman's naked body on earth, I do not want to because that part of her body that I would have enjoyed will eventually become a shameful part of her in heaven, which is a real turn off to me.
My mom and everyone in church just tells me to have faith and not to think about these things.
It is difficult for me not to think about this topic but apparently is so easy for everyone else and it does not bother them.
One person on YouTube just told me to stop being carnal and look to heaven, yet that meant nothing to me.
I have tried repenting of erotically immoral thoughts and disappointment about not being able to see a woman's naked body in heaven both in an erotic and non-erotic way, but failed over and over.
Dennis Pollock, a pastor on YouTube told me that God's assistance through the Holy Spirit makes repentance possible and is made available to everyone, but He will not do the repentance for you.
In other words, I still have to repent myself, which I failed to repeatedly for several years.
I could never feel the assistance of God, but only the warning against the consequences, and that still failed me.
I believe that Jesus died and rose again and that He is God, but that is completely useless and He will only save me after I repent.
So my heart has obviously been hardened and I am heading to hell.
Maybe my autism makes repenting of these things more difficult for me.
People have told me that fellowship will be better, God will be more beautiful, and that His presence and pleasures will be better than the joy of the erotic beauty of a woman's body, but none of it makes me feel any better about this.
I have read every article and watched every sermon from John Piper, John MacArthur, and Randy Alcorn telling people that heaven and Jesus will be better, but it still does not make me feel any better about it.
Reading my Bible did not help me too.
So I thought that if a doctor could prescribe me chemical castration medication to shut off my erotic desires, I could truly not care about them anymore and be able to repent and be saved.
Jesus said that some people become eunuchs for the sake of heaven (Matthew 19:12) and that if your hand or eye causes you to sin, then cut it off and gouge it out because it is better than going to hell (Matthew 18:8-9).
Even though He may have only meant these metaphorically, it would not hurt to do them literally (no pun intended) if it allows you to repent.

2024.05.21 16:30 Playful_Diet_8921 AITAH for hitting my now ex bf and making him feel bad about stopping mid “activities”?

To start this off, I never intended on hitting him(hard at least) and I had never intentionally done anything that would make him feel guilty about stopping.
About a month ago I(16nb) got dumped by my now ex bf(17m) due to what initially was said to be that he needed to work on his mental health and none of this was because of something i did, this was weird because ever since we had started dating we have been very open about our mental health with each other so i decided a few days after he ended it and i cooled off that I would ask if there was a different reason. ik it was a bad idea but i really needed closure because it felt so dishonest, i made assumptions and asked if it was because he had feelings for someone else as i had seen someone in his quick adds on snapchat that was “from his contacts” with a heart next to his name while we were dating that i swept under the rug. He was also posting thirst traps publicly and people were favoriting every one (his accounts have always been private) it was an unfair assumption and i still regret asking but i can’t really change the past. he said no and that he had just fallen out of love and i accepted that and felt that we were both in a good place. This quickly changed.
he soon sends me a text that made my heart drop, he said that it was because i hit him and you don’t hit people you love, he said he’d never forgive me. this confused me a lot, i had hit him one time 4 months prior to this moment. we had always play fought and he was ok with it, he ended up making a joke about my friend that i didn’t like and i meant to slap him lightly/in a lighthearted way but accidentally used too much strength. I admit i shouldn’t even joke like that but i ended up kissing his cheek where i had hit and apologized saying i was in the wrong. he said it was ok. this would come up during arguments where every time id explain it was an accident and i was wrong to joke like that and ive shown him it wouldn’t happen again.
he then sent this paragraph:
“Yk what? Fuck trying to be a good guy anymore. I’ve tried making excuses to my friend to make them hate you less. I don’t wanna hear you say shit like my decision was fucked up I decided what was best for me and call me selfish I don’t care. You hit me, and made me feel guilty for saying no. Didnt you repost the tt about things that mean no? So why wasn’t my uncertainty enough for you. It wasn’t my fault or my issue to take care of alone, I never wanna see you utter the words “I thought it wasn’t my fault” because you hitting me was YOUR fault, not mine, not anyone else’s. Just because you might not have meant to doesn’t change the fact you did and that is unacceptable. I’m glad you got your closure but I’m done. I don’t wanna be your friend I don’t want you in my life ever again. There are so many things I’m happy to be free from and yes is breaking up didn’t hurt as much as you and I will not feel bad about that. I now don’t have to worry about becoming your father. Also, NEVER assume I liked someone else while dating you. That is rude as hell and disrespectful, you jumped to conclusions and your overthinking isn’t my issue anymore. I will never forgive you, and will have my own opinions you can take that as you will. My friends are against you and I cannot defend you. If you want your hoodies back let me know because otherwise I’m donating them if you don’t want them. Also yes I am mad about you loosing my hoodie, the one I cared the most about. But I will never let you replace it and ruin a perfectly good hoodie.”
when he references when i made him feel guilty we were starting to do something (i ALWAYS made him say enthusiastic yea or id stop due to him not expressing emotions typically due to both of us being neurodivergent) and his dog walked in. we stopped to pet her and he asked me to take her outside of the room, i got up from where we were and opened the door where he started calling for her and she took my spot. i awkwardly sat there and was a bit disappointed because he knows i have trauma related to intimacy and that i don’t see that stuff as just whatever, but instead as a way to be closer to someone. after we hung out and i confronted my friends on what to do i let him know it hurt me and he told me that saying that made him feel guilty and that it was not ok. i agreed that i shouldn’t have said that and looking back i shouldn’t have expressed i wanted something due to his unsureness but i never intended to be like the ppl who hurt me.
this all really hurt because he brought up my dad, who i don’t tell may ppl details about. he was a horrible person to me and my mom and my goal in life is to be everything he wasn’t.
my friends tell me im not a bad person for thinking that my ex is in the wrong for blaming me but i feel like it’s partly my fault for not being considerate of situations and asking for a bunch of reassurance during the relationship. AITAH?

2024.05.21 16:29 Laughingcorrpse89 AITA for telling my mom to charge my brother rent?

My(34f) brother(42m) moved in with our mom(65f) over a year ago when he and his wife separated. Things have been hard for him wanting to get back with his wife and be there for their kids but she is unwilling to work things out. He lost his daughter with his previous wife when she was 5 years old 13 years ago (she didn’t pass he just found out that his ex wife had been lying to him for 5 years about her being his and when she told him the truth she took her away from him, from all of us) so it’s really hard on him feeling like he is losing his family again.
My brother tends to be a d*ck more often than not and he has a holier than thou attitude. And acts like he is better than everyone. Even calls himself an “alpha-male” and I just think he’s being an alpha-hole. He wasn’t always this way, but for the last 15 years he has been. For years he and I barely had a relationship and not for my lack of trying. I would send him texts, call him, even get in contact with his wife trying to have a relationship with them and my niece and nephew. I also have a son(11 years old) who I wanted to have a relationship with his uncle and cousins. But I was always told no or even outright ignored. He would show up to see family maybe once a year if that?
Well, when he and his wife separated he moved into our mom’s house. She is disabled and hard of hearing and has a lot of health problems so she needs a lot of help and she is happy to have someone living with her to help. she doesn’t charge him rent all she asks is that he help pay half the utilities and bring in some groceries. And to help her with things around the house.
Now, it has gotten to the point where my brother is complaining about helping our mother and where my mother feels scared to even ask him for little things like to pick up medication or to mow the lawn or if she needs to go to the store to get groceries. One time he even outright ignored her and he and I got into a screaming match because of it.
A couple weeks ago my brother came with receipts to my mom and showed her all the times he had bought dinner for them in the last month and bought things for her (like eye drops, OTC medication, etc.) and asked her to pay him back a total of $140 and he had paid the utilities in full so he wanted her to pay him back her half of the utilities. (The utilities were $243 and change)… my mom was really upset about this not about the utilities because that was their deal, but about the wanting to be paid back for dinner and OtC stuff… she only gets $900 a month from her disability check. That’s it. That’s all she gets… and he doesn’t even have to pay rent or anything. He is a nurse at the local police department and he isn’t rich by any means but he makes a significant amount more than she does, our disabled mom who doesn’t/can’t work.
So because he pulled that crap on our mother, I told her she should start charging him rent. 🤷‍♀️ she said she would think about it because she is getting to the point of where she is crying everyday because she feels like she is walking on eggshells in her own home and I don’t think that’s fair one bit. I think he is taking advantage of her and maybe he doesn’t realize he is or he just doesn’t care about anything anymore.
There is a lot more to it but I’m wondering if I am being the a**hole by telling her to charge him rent when he is having a hard time but I don’t think that’s an excuse to treat our own mother this way. He and I don’t even really have a relationship anymore especially after our screaming match and it hurts me because we were close growing up and I looked up to my brother and loved him so much and I wonder if I am just being petty because I am hurt by him too or am I in the right?

2024.05.21 16:28 someguy9252 Am I wrong for feeling different about my friend that befriended my enemy?

I moved recently and began skating at a local skatepark. When I started going, I was befriended by someone there and became friends. Over the following year, the friendship soured because this person was always trashtalking other people at the park, competing with me on every little thing even unrelated to skating, and overall a very toxic person. He dragged me into numerous bad situations, one where he almost got into a fight and overall making me feel embarrassed for being around him. The range of topics he'd talk about was always the same - how much money his mom has, how he used to bully people, and other similar topics. Throughout the year, he barely even got to know me and knows nearly nothing about my background because he never asked. I got tired of this, I respectfully told him that we could not be friends anymore, that there are no hard feelings and that's that. He asked what he did, but I didn't respond because he was clearly aware of his poor behavior. This led to extreme trash talking on me to everyone in the park, telling people details about my background, and even a confrontation with me that almost ended in fisticuffs because I'm mostly a passive person and he kept trying to trashtalk me in person. Once I physically threatened him ( i didnt say id hit him but i walked assertively up to him, im 6,1 ) because he wouldn't stop, he never did again, but the trash talking became even more intense.
I made a friend over the past year which progressed into being closer friends throughout. We started hanging out and skateboarding together on the weekends here and there, mostly whenever we saw each other at the park type of thing. This progressed into going on a vacation together to skate and hang out with other friends in the past month. It's been a good friendship for the most part. He knows I used to be friends with the other guy, but had a falling out. He never asked any details or asked why which was fine. We improved a lot at skating together, going off of each other's vibes and people in the park started talking to us a lot. The other guy didn't like this at all and began putting serious effort into befriending my new friend whenever he could. My new friend, is reciprocating that effort in some ways. He does maintain our schedule of meeting up and prioritizes skating with me over him. He began skating on other days without telling me so he could hang out with the other guy.
I haven't stopped talking to him but I do see him a bit differently after this. It made me backtrack and wonder why he never asked about that guy and other behaviors that felt like he never wanted to talk in detail about what happened. Because I see him differently, it has definitely reflected in my behavior a bit. I feel a bit less engaged in our conversations and less motivated to meet up regularly lately. Nothing has changed (yet) but I think they will inevitably, hence I feel confused and detached.
Am I wrong for feeling this way and treating him differently?

2024.05.21 16:27 l_poveda disabled parent with marriage issues

Hey all, I’m an only child in my mid 20s, married, and living in a different state than my parents.
My parents have been married for about 30 years and i’m worried that they both resent each other. My mom is physically disabled and for the past 10-15 years are struggled with undiagnosed/untreated depression.
She has some really low lows and during those times is very sour, hateful, and angry. I’m in therapy because we had an enmeshed relationship. She’s emotionally immature and vents to me about my dad and other family all the time, very inappropriate things so say to a child. I play the part of emotional support because she doesn’t have many friends and only saw a therapist for a few weeks. Sunday she texted me “Good morning. My main regret is that I didn't marry someone rich but rather I married someone who doesn't cherish me. But I really like you so I guess it's a win-win situation.” Which is wild to send to your daughter who hasn’t been married for a full year yet.
My dad is clearly not happy, has to walk on egg shells around her, and deal with her extreme low mood swings. He said “another sour day for your mother” yesterday.
I’m feeling so emotional plagued by my parents. Selfishly I don’t want them to get divorced, my mom can’t live alone, she can’t drive, I’m a newly wed living out of state, I can’t move back and she can’t live here, I have 1 bedroom apartment. I want my mom to get medicated for her mental illness and I want them to go to couples counseling. Has anyone gone through something similar??

2024.05.21 16:27 Astralzero My brother (20M) has CCTV access in the house but I (26M) don't. How do I convince my dad that it's not fair?

Hi all,
Just some context. So my family hasn't been the most normal family and all of us have been through our 'bad' phase. My parents got divorced when I was 13. So my siblings were a lot younger. My parents used to baby them since they assume the divorce hit them the hardest and expected me to adapt because I was the eldest. Fast forward to now, me and my 2 younger siblings live with my dad. Recently my dad remarried and is now living with my stepmother. My mom is also married now to her affair partnestepdad. So my siblings and I practically live alone.
So I had my rebellious phase where I would sneak my friends and sometimes my girlfriend over which angered my then teenage brother as he felt uncomfortable, which I know understand and I accept that I was in the wrong. This prompted my dad to install a CCTV in the house, I was okay with it as I knew it was my fault and I've been since repenting and trying to make things right. I have not since brought anyone over and have been trying to take care of the house.
That is until I found out one day that the people who had control over it was my step mom and for some reason, my brother. How did I find out? My brother used it to check if I was home because he wanted to bring his friends over for the night and his girlfriend. So now I'm thinking, the reason why he got access was because he was angry that I brought my friends but now that he's in his rebellious phase he's got the extra edge to hide things.
So now I've been talking to my dad and for some reason he's not taking away the controls from my brother. I just feel so helpless and I feel so disrespected as an elder brother that my youngest brother has control over something like this. Any advice on how to proceed?
Tldr; Did some bad things, dad installed CCTV and now my youngest brother has control and is now using it to his advantage. Dad doesn't want to remove his access despite my talks.

2024.05.21 16:24 SunderBee_ I’m really attached to my parents

So, I (F26) moved back home to finish school and have been with my parents again for a few years now. Now that I’m older and feel as though I’ve matured in a lot of ways, I’ve grown SO CLOSE to my parents and brother! We watch wheel of fortune together, we eat dinner together, I talk with my mom for hours in the morning before going to work/school.
The thing is, I’m about to graduate and of course I’m starting to date and start my life but now I just feel overwhelming sadness about moving out. (I pay part of the bills, it’s not that I’m financially dependent!) I just really don’t want to be away from them now 😪 How can I make a healthy departure?

2024.05.21 16:23 chickenxxnuggets Mental health/sex drive at age 31

Not really sure what to title this. Just kinda venting/looking for what others have to say.
I have everything I could ever want. A good job, an amazing husband, and a beautiful 5 yo daughter.
I wouldn’t call us wealthy but we are very comfortable.
I absolutely loathe going to work. 9-5, 4 days a week. I have it pretty easy compared to some.
I just feel so UNHAPPY. I cannot pinpoint why.
Ive realized recently it seems like my whole day revolves around doing for others. Which is probably pretty common as a mom/wife. But damn.
Wake up. Get myself and daughter ready. Take her to babysitter or school depending on the day. Go to work to make the owner of the company rich. Come home, do laundry, dishes, dinner, cleaning around the house etc. Get myself and kid ready for bed. Then bedtime. TV time with husband. I have ZERO sex drive by the end of the day. Doctors can’t find anything “wrong” but I know things like that sometimes take a few rounds of testing as far as hormones, thyroid etc.
I don’t want this post to come across as my husband doesn’t help since I didn’t mention it above. He does help with cleaning and such so that isn’t the issue. He pays all the bills and I’m only responsible for groceries, my own insurance, and cell phone basically. He also does a lot in his spare time at night to make money on the side to give us a good life.
31 just seems so young to lose your sex drive. I would say this started about a year ago? Just the cliche “sex is such a chore” feeling. It’s always good, so why don’t I crave it? I feel like a terrible wife bc I’m not satisfying my husbands needs. He is very respectful and doesn’t make me feel bad about it but it still bothers me. I do have some past trauma related to sex but nothing too intense.
Everyday just feels like Groundhog Day. Same thing everyday. But then any change in routine, like vacation, a night out etc, absolutely exhausts me and completely throws me off. A break from normal life is usually more hassle than it’s worth. I’m a homebody.
That’s another thing that has plummeted in the past year is my energy levels. I’ve gained like 50 lbs even though my eating habits haven’t really changed enough to gain 50 lbs in my opinion.
I’ve tried a few different supplements over the past year or so. St. John’s wort, ashwaganda, Berberine, olly libido pills, probiotics/prebiotics. Nothing really makes a difference.
Anyone else struggled with similar feelings? I just don’t know where to go at this point. Any advice or input is appreciated.

2024.05.21 16:23 Lottlerabbit Dads, what did you need from your partner during pregnancy?

Hi! I’m a first time mom, 23w pregnant, and my beloved seems incredibly unhappy right now so I was wondering what men need during pregnancy.
For context, it has been a bit of a rough pregnancy and it came a few months after a chemical pregnancy. From debilitating morning (read: all freaking day) sickness in the first trimester to preeclampsia to placenta previa to marginal cord insertion to the flu and Covid causing extra monitoring for growth to multiple ER visits to high probability of bed rest soon, it’s been a lot. I’m under a lot of restrictions and considered high risk so I need a lot of help that I struggle to ask for as someone who’s used to doing things herself.
For a lot of our relationship in the beginning he was the calmest person I knew. No temper whatsoever. Constantly looked on the bright side of things. Super safe (helpful for someone whose past boyfriends had been very abusive) Stuff like that. It was so refreshing in a world of negativity that I couldn’t help but fall head over heels in love with him.
Now he’s constantly snapping, yelling, cussing at me and our pets, and even getting really inconsistent (like he gets mad when I’m on the phone with my family but I’m supposed to be fine if he leaves in the middle of trying to figure out a name or working on the registry to do a hobby). I’ve often been too tired or sick to do things he wants to do like friend outings but I got guilted into doing it anyway then criticized for not being super social or needing to leave early because I’m falling asleep at the table. He’s like a different person and I’m bewildered. I’ve asked him what’s wrong and he just gives me a short reply of “stressed”. I feel kind of like a burden since he’s had to take on chores I’m not able to do anymore and I’m really worried about our relationship especially once our son arrives. I feel kind of like I did something wrong but all of this has been out of my control.
My question is for you dads who can maybe relate. What did you need from your partner during pregnancy, especially a high risk one? What can I do to make our relationship run smoother especially before our son comes? Do you have any insight on what’s even going on? How can I be better? Thanks :)

Yeah I'm a POMO, I've been out of the organization for 6 years already. But I Heard a rumor online recently and i just wanna know if whether or not it's true. But I remember as a child going to circuit assemblies and district conventions( now regional conventions). And just give you an idea of how long ago this was. My parents who are still deep in the organization both PIMI. I remember as a child. My mother always used to take her own cassette recorder.Or personal audio recordings device to record the talks given by the brothers at the assemblies and the conventions. But I recently heard a rumor that that is no longer allowed or that Is at least greatly discouraged. Reason being is whenever the watchtower society changes.Its rules like it recently did on beards. And sisters wearing pants. Whenever they tried to play the gaslighting game, you can go back and refer to those old talks. And use that as evidence against them ,that ,this is what they were teaching back then. And this is a change the organization itself is making,(,has nothing to do with god or the Bible) which is why it is either no longer allowed or greatly discouraged for you to take your own personal audio, recording at an assembly or a convention, which is why they encourage you to always go to the streaming section on JW.ORG. I just want some information and some feedback on this .Has anybody heard anything about this, that The watchtower society and the organization no longer allow or at least greatly discouraged .Any of the rank and file Jehovah's witnesses from taking their own personal audio or video recording devices to the conventions and in the circuit assemblies and recording the talks for themselves? What have you all heard? Anybody heard anything about this?

2024.05.21 16:22 Raelynndra Mixed ability mathematics. How do you do it?

Calling Maths teachers - especially those teaching Year 7. How do you teach mixed ability mathematics to Year 7 when you have 5 kids who are just total guns (one of which never shuts up and calls everything out cause they're bored to death), 4 kids who are the absolute lowest and I mean Statine 2 on Allwell and everything in between. I feel like I'm spending more time of the lower kids, specifically one who is just starting to give up because he just can't do it when the other 3 always want to have a go, but I'm also making 4 different types of homework to account for all levels and extension activities.

2024.05.21 16:22 Spidey007 [Dragon Ball Z/MCU: Final Arc] The Janemba Saga- Gohan’s Ascension

To note, this is a continuation of the sagas I wrote that took place after the Cell Saga. The two sagas were written with inspiration taken from MCU Peter Parker's arcs in Far from Home and No Way Home. The goal was to develop Son Gohan into a proper lead for the show. If you'd like to check them out, here are the links!
Bojack (Far From Home) Saga: https://www.reddit.com/fixingmovies/s/sK5zOnJ0oU
Broly (No Way Home) Saga: https://www.reddit.com/fixingmovies/s/R3sGOqdbIv
There are many things I find wrong in the Buu saga:
  1. Goku coming back: This derails the narrative tremendously as he snatches back the torch from Gohan. He's going to play a role, but he will stay dead.
  2. Gohan's writing: In canon, we ended up with a rusty, goofy, badly written character who lost all the development from the previous sagas. He became a useless disappointment and did not uphold his role as a protector of the earth. This won't go anywhere near that direction.
  3. SSJ3 and fusions: These elements were unnecessary as they did nothing to solve the plot and only provided fluff. This can be introduced in Super, but that's another story.
  4. Goten and Trunks SSJ: I wasn't a fan of how they easily transformed, treating it as an easy power-up. Here, it will be earned.
What I want to do here is combine the Buu saga with Fusion Reborn. For that movie, there are tons of elements at play that can be used to make the grand finale of Dragon Ball Z, more grand. The goal here is to increase the stakes, trim all the unnecessary fat, give everyone a chance to shine, and keep the main focus on Gohan. I also want to replace Buu with Janemba, as I find him much more threatening due to his unique abilities which would be perfect to challenge Gohan. It's also here that we avoid the rinse-and-repeat problem that came with Buu and his many forms.

Without further ado, here is the...... Janemba Saga!

Seven years have passed since the climactic battle against Broly. Gohan, now a young adult, has diligently pursued a delicate balance between his studies and training. During this time, he has honed his Super Saiyan 2 form and significantly elevated his combat skills. However, he deliberately restrains his power, refusing to succumb to the depths of his inner rage. Gohan believes that his technical prowess alone will suffice, opting to suppress the primal fury within him. Despite his reservations, Gohan attends a prestigious private school on an academic scholarship, alongside his steadfast companion Videl and their circle of friends. Gohan has embraced the responsibility of preserving peace on Earth as a valiant hero, adopting the mantle of Saiyaman. His suit has undergone a sleek redesign, shedding the theatrical poses in favor of a more streamlined appearance. Functioning as a dynamic duo reminiscent of Superman and Batman, Gohan and Videl tackle the city's crime wave together. Videl, having mastered her ki abilities under the tutelage of Piccolo, has grown stronger over the years. Glimpses of their everyday lives reveal the struggles of Gohan as he endeavors to balance the demands of school, training, and personal relationships. Amidst the challenges, he harbors a subtle resentment towards his duty, as it often encroaches upon his cherished personal time. Nevertheless, Gohan persists, fueled by his unwavering determination to live up to his father's legacy.
However, the tranquil facade is shattered when a harrowing turn of events unfolds. The narrative transitions to an otherworldly realm, distinctly separate from Earth. A mysterious figure cloaked in darkness materializes, none other than the malevolent wizard Babidi. Harnessing the unholy power of dark magic, Babidi establishes a sinister connection with his loyal minion Dabura, the King of the Demon Realm. United in their nefarious purpose, they orchestrate an audacious invasion of Otherworld, intent on freeing the formidable demon Janemba. Ages ago, Janemba had been sealed away in this celestial realm by the Supreme Kais. Babidi's malevolent ambition revolves around shrouding the universe in eternal darkness. To achieve this nightmarish vision, he plans to infect the denizens of Earth using the insidious Majin spell, thereby expanding his dominion across countless planets.
In the midst of this burgeoning chaos, Gohan, disguised as Saiyaman, finds himself investigating a peculiar incident involving the possession of one of his dearest friends. Videl, resolute and fearless, engages in a fierce battle against the malevolent puppeteer controlling Sharpner. With unwavering confidence, she urges Gohan to let her confront the threat alone. Sharpner, his strength unnaturally augmented, puts up a formidable resistance, but Videl's experience enables her to subdue him without resorting to fatal measures. As Sharpner awakens from his trance, Gohan seeks answers regarding the enigmatic force that had seized control of his friend. Sharpner reveals that a voice called Babidi had whispered malevolent commands into his mind. Armed with this critical information, Gohan summons Vegeta and Piccolo to join him in unraveling the unfolding crisis, embarking on a journey towards the epicenter of the ominous power emanating from a series of potent and wicked ki signatures, ultimately leading them to Babidi and Dabura.
Meanwhile, Earth becomes a battleground, besieged by an onslaught of resurrected zombies, soldiers, and former villains who once terrorized its populace. Though the trio finds themselves torn between aiding their beleaguered planet and confronting the imminent threat directly before them, they know their immediate priority lies in thwarting Babidi's scheme. Distracting them with his grandiose monologue, Babidi probes their minds, seeking susceptible individuals to manipulate. Initially targeting Vegeta, Babidi redirects his attention toward Piccolo, sensing his inherent duality as a being born of both good and evil. With a combination of Babidi's insidious spell and the lingering malevolence of Piccolo Daimao, the Namekian warrior struggles to resist the overwhelming influence. His powers surge exponentially beyond their previous limitations, clouding his judgment and driving him to confront his former student, Gohan. Amidst the shock of this unforeseen twist, Gohan assumes the responsibility of awakening Piccolo from his trance-like state, determined to restore his mentor's clarity. As the battle rages on, they sense a tremor that reverberates throughout the planet, an unmistakable ki signature brimming with icy coldness, signifying the presence of a singular entity—Janemba.
Bracing himself for the impending clash with this malevolent force, Gohan prepares to face Janemba head-on, while Piccolo embarks on a personal mission to neutralize Babidi. Meanwhile, Vegeta remains locked in a fierce struggle against Dabura, the Prince of Saiyans confronting the King of the Demon Realm. The confrontation unfolds with brutal intensity, and Vegeta finds himself teetering on the edge of defeat. Sensing his adversary's advantage, Dabura unleashes a legion of demons to tip the scales further in his favor. Pushed to his limits, Vegeta fights valiantly, but the odds appear insurmountable. Dabura, consumed by arrogance, revels in his imminent triumph, announcing his intention to unleash the full might of the demon horde upon Earth. Faced with the dire consequences of such a cataclysm, Vegeta musters every ounce of desperation within him. In a moment of self-sacrifice, he unleashes a devastating attack upon Dabura and his minions. The resulting explosion weakens Babidi's forces, repels the encroaching Demon Realm, and safeguards their dimension from untold chaos and devastation.
(Note: I wanted to keep Vegeta's sacrifice but make it matter and count. In canon, it didn't stop Buu, and he sent himself into cold oblivion on a lie. Here, he makes a difference in the long run and has a definitive redemptive moment. )
Startled by the sudden disappearance of Vegeta's powerful ki, Trunks defies the protests of his comrades on the Lookout and rushes towards the chaotic battleground. His heart pounds with trepidation as he races through the smoke-filled air, only to be confronted with the lifeless body of his father lying motionless on the ground. Overwhelmed by a torrent of despair and seething rage, Trunks' trembling hands reach out to shake his father awake, his desperate pleas echoing through the desolate landscape. But his efforts prove futile, and a profound sense of loss engulfs him.
In the midst of this heart-wrenching moment, a surge of raw energy courses through Trunks' veins, igniting a transformation that surpasses the boundaries of his mortal self. Radiating an aura of vibrant golden light, Trunks ascends to the legendary state of the Super Saiyan. His eyes ablaze with determination and fury, he is now ready to face the battle that lies ahead.The scene shifts, revealing the remaining Z-Fighters locked in a perilous struggle against hordes of relentless zombies. Fatigue weighs heavily upon their weary bodies as they fend off the relentless onslaught. Suddenly, a streak of intense power streaks across the sky, and Trunks descends before his comrades, newly transformed and brimming with indomitable strength. A burst of energy erupts from his fingertips, shattering a ki blast launched by one of the zombies, diverting it harmlessly away. In the eyes of his adversaries, astonishment mingles with mockery as they behold the sight of a mere child standing before them.Unfazed by their taunting laughter, Trunks addresses his comrades with unwavering resolve. He declares that he will shoulder the burden of the battle, vowing that not a single life will be lost on this day. With unparalleled speed and precision, he charges towards the encroaching horde, obliterating each zombie with astonishing ease. Their forces crumble beneath the might of his wrath, and the battlefield is transformed into a graveyard of defeated foes.As the last of the zombies falls, Trunks relinquishes his Super Saiyan form, his energy spent and body drained. Collapsing to the ground, he succumbs to exhaustion, his breathing ragged and labored. In this moment of vulnerability, Yamcha, recognizing the young warrior's valor, rushes to his side and gently lifts him from the battlefield, cradling his battered form with utmost care.
(Note: Kid Trunks' transformation is a direct reference to when Future Trunks found Gohan dead after the battle with the androids, and then he transformed. )
While this tumultuous event unfolded, the responsibility of safeguarding the Lookout fell upon the young shoulders of Goten. As time passed, a sudden intrusion disrupted the tranquility of the platform, as a malevolent henchman, infused with the dark power of King Cold, materialized before him. Though momentarily shaken, Goten summoned his courage and engaged in a valiant struggle against his formidable adversary.Initially, it appeared that Goten held his ground admirably, skillfully countering the attacks launched by the nefarious duo of Salza and Dore. However, their sinister coordination gradually began to overpower the young warrior. In a devastating display of force, Salza executed a malicious kick that sent Goten hurtling towards the precipice of the Lookout, teetering on the brink of unconsciousness.
Witnessing her son's battered and vulnerable state, Chi-Chi, consumed by a mixture of horror and fury, lunged at Salza in a desperate attempt to defend her child. Yet, her efforts proved futile as Salza callously seized her by the throat, mercilessly constricting the life from her. From his weakened position, Goten, wide-eyed and mouth agape, struggled to remain conscious, his mind besieged by the conflicting emotions of impending death and the weight of disappointment.
In that critical moment, he closed his eyes, his teeth sinking into his lip until blood stained his mouth. His trembling hands clenched into tight fists. And then, something within him snapped, unleashing a primal force that lay dormant within.Goten vanished, replaced by an embodiment of unbridled rage. Transformed into a Super Saiyan, his furious aura radiated with an intensity that defied comprehension. With a surge of unrestrained power, he propelled himself towards Salza, obliterating his malevolent foe with a devastating blast that eradicated him from existence. Undeterred by the remaining henchmen who sought to avenge their fallen comrade, Goten engaged them with a newfound ferocity.In a breathtaking display of combat prowess, it took mere moments for Goten to dispatch his adversaries, consigning them to the depths of the afterlife. Unaware of his mother's watchful gaze, Chi-Chi bore witness to the astonishing transformation of her once-innocent son, her heart filled with awe at the unfathomable power he now wielded.
(Note: This is a reference to when Superman had attacked Zod for attacking Martha in Man of Steel. With this, Goten is able to break out of his shell and experience some development. I also did not want Chi-Chi to die, but to have it be close. This way, she can witness firsthand her son fighting to avenge her and realizing that his saiyan blood kicked in to save them all, which would lead to some development towards her accepting that they have the natural power to fight, but also protect. )
Simultaneously, amidst the chaos, Piccolo found himself embroiled in a fierce battle of magic. His objective was to shatter the impenetrable barrier erected by his adversary, Babidi, to halt the relentless proliferation of Majin-infused beings. The odds were stacked against him, but with unwavering determination, Piccolo summoned the strength to rupture the barrier, ultimately delivering a fatal blow to Babidi. In doing so, he succeeded in halting the insidious spread of the Majin curse.Meanwhile, Gohan, driven by an overwhelming surge of power in his Super Saiyan 2 form, charged headlong at the formidable Fat Janemba, intent on swiftly ending the confrontation. Displaying remarkable valor, Gohan engaged his adversary with all his might, momentarily gaining the upper hand in fleeting bursts of fury. However, Janemba's energy continued to surge unabated, gradually overpowering Gohan and relegating him to a defensive stance.With the battle reaching its climax, Janemba unleashed a devastating onslaught aimed at obliterating the planet. In a desperate bid to protect all that he held dear, Gohan fearlessly interposed himself between Janemba's lethal assault and the world, extending his arms wide as he summoned the last vestiges of his ki to create a resolute energy shield. The technique demanded one final act of defiance, compelling Gohan to redirect the unleashed energy back towards Janemba, propelling the malevolent entity backward and teetering on the precipice of annihilation. Yet, the maneuver exacted a heavy toll on Gohan, leaving him grievously injured and drained of consciousness, hurtling through the sky and crashing deep into the untamed wilderness.
(Note: This maneuver is a mix of what Gohan did against Broly in Movie 10, and what Future Gohan did in his last battle against the androids.)
Subsequently, Supreme Kai, recognizing the dire condition of the young warrior, transported Gohan to the realm of the Kais. As Gohan gradually regained consciousness, he found himself surrounded by the presence of Supreme Kai, Kibito, and his father, Son Goku. Unbeknownst to Gohan, while the realms beyond had been engulfed in pandemonium, Goku had valiantly sought to subdue numerous formidable adversaries, most notably Broly. Upon learning of Gohan's presence on that distant planet, Goku implored for the opportunity to visit his son, a request that was granted amidst the bittersweet reunion.During their heartfelt meeting, they shared the weight of overseeing the turmoil ravaging Earth, realizing that Janemba still lingered, amassing the remnants of malevolent ki left unvanquished. Panic washed over Gohan as he urgently expressed his need to return to Earth, but his pleas were met with cautionary words from his loved ones. They acknowledged his unpreparedness to face Janemba anew, warning of the potential consequences should he engage the foe prematurely. Supreme Kai disclosed his true intention in bringing Gohan to this realm—to unlock the dormant power lying dormant within him. However, the process demanded a profound reconciliation of Gohan's dual nature as both human and Saiyan. To initiate this transformative ritual, Gohan would be immersed in a meditative trance within the sacred confines of a cascading waterfall, which would serve as a mirror reflecting his true self. Only then would he embark upon the arduous journey of unlocking his latent potential, fully aware that failure could result in dire consequences, even death.
Nervously, Gohan steeled himself for the imminent trial, drawing strength from the unwavering support of his father. With resolute determination, he approached the cascading waterfall, where Supreme Kai initiated the trance, enveloping Gohan in an ethereal aura of introspection.As the ritual commenced, Gohan's gaze fixated grimly upon vivid recollections of his past battles, struggling to reconcile the moments when he had succumbed to his own wrath. Before long, a projection materialized, representing his suppressed Saiyan essence—a separate entity demanding to be acknowledged. A tumultuous clash ensued between the two facets of Gohan's being, with the young warrior faltering in his attempts to gain the upper hand, for each surge of anger only fueled his other self. Finally, a profound realization washed over Gohan, piercing through the haze of conflict. He ceased resisting and, instead, extended a hand of acceptance and understanding to his Saiyan counterpart, embracing the essence of his true nature. In that transformative instant, the boundaries dissolved, merging into a harmonious unity. Gohan's eyes fluttered open as he awakened from the trance, reborn in his newfound Ultimate Form, his essence finally whole and indomitable.
(Note: Yes, this is a direct reference to Naruto obtaining true mastery of his nine tails form in Shippuden. I did not like Gohan's canon mystic ritual because it did not feel earned. He just sat around for a long time doing nothing and gained nothing from it. I wanted to fix that. So here, he went through a more direct ritual at the risk of death to be able to unlock his true abilities. )
In the midst of these events, Trunks and Goten find themselves under the tutelage of Piccolo within the formidable Hyperbolic Time Chamber. News reaches Piccolo that Gohan is undergoing a transformative process to unlock his latent potential, but the looming return of Janemba threatens to disrupt their plans. Exiting the chamber, Trunks and Goten emerge stronger than ever, having mastered their Super Saiyan forms and honed their teamwork to near perfection, compensating for their inherent power limitations.As Janemba crosses paths with them, the clash erupts in a spectacular display of martial prowess. Individually, they stand little chance against the overwhelming might of Janemba, but when united, a different narrative unfolds. Their combined efforts aim to sustain the battle long enough, providing Gohan with the precious time he needs to complete his ritual. Piccolo assumes leadership, valiantly holding his ground, although it becomes increasingly evident that Janemba possesses a distinct advantage. Piccolo strategically diverts Janemba's attention, creating openings for Goten and Trunks to launch coordinated assaults that vex their adversary, even if their impact is minimal. Nonetheless, every second counts.
In a fateful turn of events, Janemba unleashes an assault that overwhelms Piccolo, incapacitating him and leaving only Goten and Trunks to face the malevolent entity. Swift as a phantom, Janemba materializes in front of Trunks, delivering a devastating blow to his abdomen, leaving Goten as the lone defender. Standing tall, Goten defiantly assumes a battle stance, mustering his courage. However, before Janemba can unleash a devastating attack upon him, an unknown figure delivers a powerful kick to Janemba's head, hurtling him towards the distant mountains.
The camera pans, revealing the figure to be none other than Gohan, resplendent in his newfound form.
(Note: This entrance directly mirrors that of Future Gohan when he was about to begin his final battle against the Androids!)
A wave of elation washes over Goten as he beholds the return of his beloved elder brother, while Trunks and Piccolo visibly exhale with relief. Gohan and Piccolo exchange a brief but meaningful exchange, Gohan acknowledging his newfound strength while Piccolo recognizes that Gohan has ascended to an entirely different echelon. Janemba regains his footing, reemerging before them, demanding their attention and focus. Gohan asserts that he will confront Janemba directly, urging the others to evacuate. Though reluctant, Piccolo and the young warriors comply, dispersing to various parts of the world to address the chaos that plagues their surroundings.
With an air of fury, Janemba charges at Gohan, his fist extended menacingly. Yet Gohan intercepts the attack, seizing Janemba's fist in a vice-like grip, and in a flash of teleportation, they are transported to the dreaded realm of H.F.I.L. (Home For Infinite Losers).
(Note: I have Gohan teleport Janemba because at least this way their battle will not damage Earth. Also we will assume Gohan has figured out some sort of Instant Transmission movement like Goku.)
The eyes of Earth's denizens, the Kais, and the denizens of the Otherworld are fixated on this pivotal moment, the culmination of a battle that will determine the fate of the universe. And so, the clash commences, a cataclysmic struggle that echoes through the very fabric of existence.
In a breathtaking display of power, Gohan initially dominates the battle, effortlessly overpowering Janemba with his newfound might. However, the tables turn when Janemba unveils unexpected abilities: space-time manipulation and a formidable sword. Gohan is caught off guard, unsure of how to counter such unorthodox tactics. Desperation and frustration consume him, causing his control over his own power to slip away.Amidst the chaos, Gohan experiences a moment of revelation, a surge of understanding regarding his opponent's abilities. He realizes that in order to anticipate Janemba's next move, he must heighten his senses by channeling his ki, allowing for precise timing and swift reactions. With this newfound clarity, Gohan regains his composure, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Seizing an opportunity, Janemba materializes before him, poised to strike with his sword. Yet, in a stunning display of strength, Gohan catches the blade with both hands, shattering it into pieces.
The tide of the battle begins to shift, albeit slightly, in Gohan's favor. Frustrated and bewildered, Janemba exclaims, "Just what...are you?!" Gohan responds with unwavering resolve, proclaiming, "I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am the protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!"
(Note: I'm taking Goku's dubbed speech against Frieza and repurposing it for Gohan. As he's inherently more the justice-driven hero archetype rather than the fighting maniac that is Goku, it makes more sense. We'll just assume Goku gave Frieza the manga version of his speech. This is also the most pivotal moment of Gohan's journey as he comes to terms with being a protector. Throughout the show, he's been struggling between his desire to be a scholar and his responsibility to be a hero. That dubbed speech is exactly the moment that Gohan's arc comes full circle. Here, he finally embraces what he was always meant to be..... the hero.)
With renewed determination, Gohan launches various assaults in a bid to defeat his formidable adversary. However, his attacks fail to inflict lasting damage, and Gohan himself begins to exhaust his ki. It is then that he realizes the true nature of Janemba's existence—he is an embodiment of pure evil ki, unlike any opponent Gohan has faced before. A desperate plan takes shape in Gohan's mind. Mentally reaching out to his friends and even Videl, he calls upon them to gather their ki, reminiscent of the Spirit Bomb technique. Initially, only the Z-Fighters respond, but their combined energy proves insufficient.As Gohan valiantly defends against Janemba's onslaught, he mentally pleads with the people of Earth to lend their aid. Uncertainty and doubt cast a shadow over the crowd until Hercule steps forward, berating them for refusing to support the man who once saved them during the Cell Games. Revealing the truth of Gohan's identity as the Delivery Boy turned hero, the tide of public opinion shifts. People extend their hands, offering their energy to their savior. Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Gohan is relieved by the surge of ki coursing through him, providing a momentary opening to kick Janemba away. The collective assistance grants Gohan a substantial reservoir of energy, which he then summons forth, infusing it with the very essence of his soul—a daring and perilous maneuver.
Driven to his breaking point, a furious Janemba ascends into the sky, conjuring a colossal sphere of malevolent ki capable of obliterating the entire universe. Gohan remains calm, his gaze fixed upon the impending cataclysm. With unwavering resolve, he declares, "This is the end for you, Janemba." Closing his eyes, Gohan raises his left hand above his head, conjuring a radiant sphere of rainbow light. Seizing the opportunity, Janemba hurls his devastating attack towards Gohan. Sensing the imminent danger, Gohan's eyes snap open as he crushes the ball of energy in his palm. Swiftly pivoting, he hurls the fragmented energy towards the oncoming attack, effortlessly piercing through it, and hurtling towards Janemba, finally eradicating the universe's peril once and for all.
(Note: This is the same technique as Kid Buu's Planet Burst move, the one that destroyed Earth. I also repurposed Gogeta's stardust breaker technique for Gohan as I feel it makes sense for him to have it. It also makes him stand out from Goku even more in this case.)
As the dust settles, Gohan maintains his energy long enough to witness Janemba's demise. A triumphant smirk graces his face as he remarks, "Heh, looks like I finally did it." Exhausted, he collapses to the ground, almost completely drained. The onlookers erupt into joyous cheers, celebrating Gohan's hard-fought victory. Supreme Kai teleports Gohan from the depths of H.F.I.L back to Earth, specifically to the Lookout, where his family and friends eagerly await his return. In a heartwarming scene, Gohan is enveloped in embraces and expressions of relief. It is here, amidst the warmth of their loved ones, that Gohan and Videl share their first kiss—a tender moment of connection and celebration.Meanwhile, the Dragon Balls work their magic, rectifying the chaos caused by Babidi's dark influence. The majority of those who perished are revived, yet there are exceptions, including Vegeta. Accepting his fate and determined to atone for his past deeds, Vegeta expresses his desire to continue growing stronger in the afterlife, entrusting the protection of his family to his son. Tearfully, Trunks vows to make his father proud, with Goten stepping forward to support his friend in this emotional moment. Fond farewells are exchanged as everyone prepares to return to their respective homes.
Gohan and Goten engage in a heartfelt conversation, their bond as brothers strengthening. However, their exchange is interrupted by Chi-Chi, who unexpectedly interrupts their conversation. To their astonishment, she expresses pride in their valiant efforts to safeguard the world, finally relenting and granting them permission to train and protect. The three embrace, their family united and resolute.In a different realm, Vegeta stands before King Yemma, awaiting judgment. To his surprise, he is granted an Otherworldly body, a result of Goku's recommendation and Vegeta's ultimate sacrifice that tipped the scales of justice. With this second chance, Vegeta is granted the opportunity to train ceaselessly and, more importantly, to settle his unfinished business with Goku. The final scene between Goku and Vegeta unfolds, their fists colliding in a charged confrontation, their image freezing .( mirroring the intensity of Rocky and Apollo in Rocky III, leaving their ultimate showdown to the imagination.)
A decade passes, marked by a time skip. Tien and Krillin have established their own martial arts schools, dedicated to passing on their unique styles to the next generation. Goten and Trunks, under the tutelage of Piccolo, diligently train to harness their extraordinary powers. Gohan, now a respected scholar, has married Videl, and together they have a daughter. At home, Videl imparts the basics of combat to their daughter, Pan. Gohan, having just finished delivering a lecture on energy at the university, senses a disturbance reverberating across the planet. Instinctively, he rushes to the rooftop, pressing a button on his wrist. In an instant, he transforms into his iconic Saiyaman costume, soaring into the horizon with a mischievous grin. He breaks through the fourth wall, symbolizing his unwavering resolve to protect and inspire.
The screen fades to black.
The End.
There we have it! My final wrap-up of the MCU Peter ParkeGohan development journey! Honestly, I did have thoughts of just going straight into revising the Buu arc, but I felt there was more to be done before that. Gohan needed to go through the development I gave him in my two written arcs as there were lessons there that shaped him.
I also felt that a trained Gohan, who is naturally intellectual, would be a perfect antagonist in Janemba. He had to learn to outsmart him, and not just have it be a straight-up slugfest.

2024.05.21 16:21 No_Reflection6439 Bad home life?

I’m honestly out of ideas to do to better my situation. My mom hasn’t worked since 2016 and she’s gone broke, racked up credit card bills etc. I’m 23 and ready to start my life. The problem is I have to pay most of the bills sharing a 1 bedroom apartment and it’s still not enough. ($1200 plus my bills) I’ve been sleeping on a couch for over 2 years. I’m trying to go to school but it’s hard when I work full time in management, without a car and the school in the medical field I’m trying to specialize in is 30 minutes away. (I doubt she could get me to class on time.) I don’t have a car because it would put me into debt and she won’t let me drive hers. I hate being home because shes bitter about her poor decisions and she doesn’t take proper care of herself. (She has bad back pain, depression and anxiety) she’s on pills but she either stops them or it’s not helping. She doesn’t work and complains when I don’t do “enough” housework. I work full time and try to stay healthy so when I get home I’m often so tired I don’t do it. I’ve tried talking to her about how I feel but because of some mistakes I made years ago, she holds resentment towards me and anytime I try to say how I feel, she says I’m being “disrespectful” or “talking back” or she compares me to how my friends are or how she was with her parents. I’m constantly in a state of failure because she makes me feel that way. I don’t drink anymore, don’t smoke, don’t go out clubbing I just go to the gym and spend time with my boyfriend a few days a week. Even she complains about that. I’m getting to where I’m purposely staying out late or working late because I’m living in an environment that I feel disrespected, uncomfortable and taken for granted. I feel like she blames me for her poor decisions in life and it’s eating me alive. It’s so hard not to turn to substances to numb the pain/emotions I’ve held in for years. The lease is up for our apartment at the end of next year. I’m ready and praying that I can get the hell out. I feel like she’s dragging me down and idk how to get away without feeling guilty about her lack of life choices. Advice?

2024.05.21 16:20 kbwd1234 Miserable marriage.

So as the title says I'm i. A miserable marriage. The problem is I have zero options so we are stuck. We've been together for 12 years. Married for 8. I dont know how we've made it this far. A lottttt of accepting it because its never going to change . I can't accept it anymore. Weve had the same fight for probably 7 years. . Helping around the house. He thinks because he works 8 hours that's enough and I should be able to handle our 5 children 3 dogs and 2000 sq ft house on my own. I've stayed home with this last babg due to health problems that I'm getting surgery for in 2 days. So up until my 8th month of pregnancy I was working our entire relationship. So this has been an issue since then. But he recently switched careers from construction to hospitality management of a large gas station /convenience store . Hes making great money. His construction job was morning's. This is 4pm-1am. So he gets home at by 130am. And instead of relaxing and trying to go to sleep he says up until 3-4am. Then proceeds to sleep until 1p... wakes up very very slowly. Comes out and sits in the living room . Than goes to the bathroom for a half hour. OK so by then we are already at 2pm. Then comes back out and relaxes more before he goes to work. Then gets a shower and leaves by 330.pm Allllllll the while I'm putting kids on the bus, cleaning, taking kids to appointments, taking care of the animals. Extra. All while he gets his beauty sleep.
I know he has a problem. And has for years. I used to not let it bother me until the past probably 10 months..when we do have set which is very very rare like once every 2 months , he doesn't cut. Hes never ever ever had an issue with that. I mean clearly we have 5 children. Njt I said im not good enough for you. Thats what it is your mind is over stimulated with watching porn that what we do isn't satisfying him mentally and emotionally. Clearly now physically. And it makes me feel like there's something wrong with me. I've tried initiating sex and cjdde time so many times I've given up I used to stay up for him when he'd get home for like an house to spend time together where he's actually awake. Ice asked him so come to bed with .e at like 2-230. He says I'm not tired. I said I know just lay with me until I go to sleep. Or cuddle or talk because I miss that. He said no im not tired. I said you can come back out here afterwards. And he just continues to sit in the chair watching TV and eating.
Hes gained like 30 lbs I've become unattractive to him. Just being honest. But also if he tried to make me happy in any way shape or form maybe I'd feel more fire to keep pursuing him. But I'm not being fulfilled in any way what so ever so I feel like I've given up . Most of the time we are in the car in silence. I've asked him to wake up earlier to have breakfast with me . Either go out or make it at home. He won't get up. I've asked for help with home projects. He won't get up for that. I've asked for help folding laundry since he's sitting anyway..he won't. When I push for help it gets him so frustrated and defensive that he snaps and tells me why should he do anything when I don't. Which is clearly a lie. He said you're home all day so you can do it. I said I do what are you talking about?! Its not spotless but I maintain during the day doing big cleaning projects in every room ill spend 3-6 hours cleaning one room. Than the next day do the others and so on. I do all the grocery shopping and cooking. Which ok again im home so I can do all of that. But seriously I'm overwhelmed. I'm getting major surgery in two days and I finally saud yesterday. You know I'm done being angry when you don't do things to help me with the house and kids or even being present. What's said is im more disappointed than anything and that's really ashamed because I expect better out of you because I know you can do better. I said im sick of being let down. Im sick of being alone. Im sick of cleaning up after everyone Including him because he goes to bed and leaves plates cups wrappers truly everything so I wake up and usually take care of it. So I stopped numerous times. Including lately to see if it bothers him enough to do anything. But it doesnt doesn't. I didnt speak to him for 3 solid days. And it didnt bother him , he didn't even try to reach out to me. I feel like the marriage is unrepairable but with me staying home I've become dependent which I absolutely hate. But I'm stuck. I can't leave because I can't afford an apartment or house. If I stay here and he leaves he wouldn't be able to afford to help with the kids nor would he ever see them. I've even asked him to put them on the bus for me to sleep some and also him spend time with his kids. And I wake up to him yelling at them and I flip out of him because I refuse to allow my 12,7,5 year old girls wake up to being yelled at and sending them off to school after being yelled at all because he has no patience.
I don't know what to do. I'd never cheat on him but I understand why people do. Im so freaking lonely I can't take it. I've had my tunes removed so no more babies. Our final one is an absolute joy always happy just goes with the flow. So it's not the added stress of a baby. Sbe just turned a year old. And since than we've had six 6 times. I have physical needs, emotional and mental needs and none of it is being met. Hes being a bad example to the kids of not only a husband and father but just responsibilities. He screams at them for their shoes being left out in the middle of the floor but he does the exact same thing to where he's telling them to put his away also. Like really?! He won't do counseling. I've tried. I've threatened divorce and I get told I'm being dramatic and am I taking my mental health meds because I'm acting crazy. I'm truly not though. I'm just depleated and defeated. And feeling stuck. I literally get messages from old friends who see pictures of my face and see my post on fb not including him or really any happiness and it actually makes them feel bad for me.. they say I'm too good for this, that i deserve better that they would treat me so good and have actually asked me out on dates just to feel excitement again. And I've been so tempted but I would feel so guilty.
Please someone help me with some advice. I know there's many couples who have gone through this. I need guidance. I have no family support other than oh im sorry you're dealing with this . No where to go with 5 kids.
Tl;dr Husband won't do anything to be helpful at home or with the kids. Says be works his 8 hours and that's enough . Won't do anything but leave me more of a mess to clean causing me more stress. Taking care of the house and kids completely by myself. His mom comes over to help me some times and she's o frustrated seeing him be like this towards me. Shes tried to talk to him with no result. I dont want to give up on my family. I dont know what else to do, serious talks don't work

2024.05.21 16:20 ishsvdkuav Trying to get away?

My mother and I have a complicated relationship, she divorced my father when i was about 13/14 and for the next how many years she has been a burden to me. She was great when I was a child and I love thinking of the memories we shared before it all went down. My dad is for sure a narcissist or maybe even has ASPD, I’m not sure or eager to find out since we barely speak and I much prefer it this way. He abused the whole family and I remember being woken up from bed because they were fighting and having to go ‘break’ the fight or at least make sure he is not hurting my mom. The divorce was really hard on me, not because I missed having my dad around, he didn’t do much good when he was, but because of my mom. She is really emotionally imbalanced and constantly needs reassuring which at the time she was getting from her so called ‘friends’ which then too I told her were not good people and to keep our family business ours. She had an abusive relationship with her mother and then my father. I know life hasn’t been easy on her but God, I was only a child listening to the recap of all the messages between him and her, him and his mistresses, what happened at court that day, but it was not only that it was the emotional burden which I tolarated and still do to this day even tho we have made some progress over the years. I’m in my early 20s now and have managed to get my reactions under control. I was an angry child from an abusive home that no one thought needed help because I exceeded all expectations regarding my acedemic and work life. Now I’m just kinda empty, I have no need for people in my life because I find most overbearring, due to having to help my mother work through any negative emotion she’s having, be it through her yelling at me that I’m lazy, dirty and messy along with many other things that just weren’t and aren’t true or her coming to me with bad news of her own before I had my first sip of coffee when she knows I like my peace in the morning (always honestly) and how much i retain from other emotionally. I am just so tired of her and all the people in my life thinking that I would just put up with their shit. I like to hang out with people and I am an extrovert but I’ve been fairly introverted for the last year or two, really keeping my peace successfully and only letting good people in, but even in those relationships I am somehow always the one that has a bit more understanding for the other or ‘thougher skin’. I know it seems as though I do because that is the front I had been learning to put on for years, BECAUSE I HAD TO. It just feels kinda unfair that I’m always the one that will let stuff go because I see things hurt other people more than me, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hurt by other’s actions too. That’s about it, my first ever rant. It was kinda freeing I have to say.

2024.05.21 16:20 WDaisy80 Are “red flags” enough to make a call.

There is a girl at my daughter’s extra curricular activity. She is 13. In the past few months, there have been numerous accusations of startling behavior surrounding this kid. She’s very hyper sexual. And has manipulated a few of the other girls into doing sexual favors for her. There were several FaceTime calls where she’d convince a girl to strip naked, and do things to herself, and the manipulator would quickly add a bunch of other kids to these calls. There are hundreds of graphic, vulgar text messages. On top of all of this, the kid is a bully. She’s really mean and toxic. My kid was not involved in any of the sexual stuff. Besides inconspicuously answering a FaceTime call where a girl was standing there naked. So I can’t press charges or anything. The other moms and I were going back and forth about calling CPS, because we all believe that something has happened to this kid. We don’t have any proof though. I don’t know if we can call and say what I’ve said above (in more detail of course). I’ve always heard that kids that perpetrate like this sometimes have been abused themselves. Maybe someone who works for CPS can give me some advice? I know you guys are already overworked, and I don’t want to abuse CPS and make reports on “gut feelings”. Thank you so much for taking the time to read.

2024.05.21 16:20 ImWrong_OnTheNet Not doing great

This has been the most difficult year for me that I can remember. Leaving a job this week I've had for close to twenty years, graduating a kid, selling our house and moving, etc etc. Major life events, but ones that many people go through all the time. However, nearly everything has had major obstacles. My wife left her stable, but toxic, job months ago and I'm trying to make up for tens of thousands of dollars of income. I teach, so you can imagine how easy that was... Repairs, storage, parties, inspections, tours, bills, bills, bills. Bills about bills and little subcontractor fees. Every time I have to deal with another person, it costs a few hundred bucks. Multiple times a month for months.
I am fucking drowning and each day is a struggle not to break down in front of people or scream at them instead.
The house will sell. I'll get a new job. Wife will get a new job. We will get out of trump country where we do not belong. When the house does finally go, we will be able to pay off all our debts. Right now, though, I'm hemorrhaging money. I can barely get out of bed. Wife is the same, and we've basically alternated between who gets to be sad in the evening while the other holds them. But sometimes it's both, and those are bad evenings.
I barely eat. If you know about the "Zone of Tolerance" from therapy, my zone is basically a pencil line. I've been through shit before. I've had ideation before.
And I am fucking drowning.

2024.05.21 16:19 beeby8 How do I save my family from falling apart and we get our lives back?

So I am 26 years old. I am from Melbourne Australia. I am single and I live with my mother, my step-dad, my brother and my sister in law who have just moved back in recently after having moved out of home 3 years ago, but have moved back in to save money to eventually move out into the country somewhere. They are not really city/suburb people. The prefer regional/rural areas.
Anyway, the problem in our family is my step dad. I would say for the last 5-6 years, he has withdrawn alot from us. He spends the majority of his time (when he is not at work) sitting outside smoking, drinking and watching YouTube videos on his phone. We barely see him except for weekends because he works the afternoon/evening shifts.
When we do see him on weekends, he barely ever wants to do anything with us. We are always inviting him out to do things with us, but the majority of the time, he says no and uses the excuse of staying home to look after the dogs to get out of it. The only thing that we really do anymore is watch our show together on Saturday nights (if we haven't got something on, which we often do), but even that he is starting to lose interest in.
He also get sick quite often. He has a really bad cough due to his heavy smoking. I have never smoked in my life. My mum, brother and sister in law have, but they have all given up regular cigarettes now and either vape or use marijuana. I would honestly prefer if they just ditched the vapes and just smoked the marijuana to be honest and I have never had a problem with people who smoke pot as long as you do it safely and don't drive on it. It smells way better than cigarettes or the horrible artificial smell of vapes. Anyway, that's not the point.
He (my step dad) has also claimed to be on a meat and dairy only diet for the past couple of years now, basically the complete opposite of a vegan, yet we constantly see him eating bread, chips and other regular foods that are not part of his carnivore diet. He also makes a massive mess in the kitchen every time he cooks his food and never cleans it up because he cooks and attempts to clean in the dark without the light on.
We all think (myself, mum, my brother and sister in law) all think he had some severe health problems like potentially lung cancer and maybe even early onset dementia, but her just will not go to the doctor.
My brother and sister in law even said that one of the main reasons they moved out in the first place 3 years ago was because of how uncomfortable they felt around him and now they are saying the exact same thing again. They said it again literally tonight.
He also does not have a very good relationship with either of his biological children (my step brother and step sister). He says that he wishes that he talked to and saw them more, yet he makes little to no effort to see them or spend time with them outside of special occasions like birthdays, despite the fact that his son lives 10 minutes around the corner. His daughter lives a few hours away, but you would think he would make the time to see her more often, especially since his daughter now has a daughter, making him a grandfather.
He also sleeps in a completely separate room to my mum too which I believe severely impacts their relationship. Couples who do not sleep in the same bed together (for the most part) I believe do not wore every well in general. Now to be fair, this is mainly due to the fact that he snores very loudly and has too wear a massive CPAP machine at night which would keep mum awake, so he eventually just moved into the spare room. That part of it I get, but it's still not ideal.
And the worst part is, all that is just scratching the surface. My mum is constantly ranting and complaining to me about how much she has had enough and is fed up with him just doing nothing and not wanting to be a part of the family any more and just retreating into himself and I completely agree with her as well.
My mum and step dad have been together for 20 years this year, but I know for a fact that she does not love him anymore and wants to break up with him and end the relationship. Not only has she flat out told me this in private, but she wouldn't even have to tell me for me to know.
The biggest problem however and the primary reason why she won't separate from his is money. They have a mortgage for the house in both their names, many contracts are in both their names as well for things that we have done to the house like adding the solar panels, the battery backup for the solar panels, the renovations etc. A few joint accounts too.
Mum has told me so many times that if she were to win the lottery, she would leave him in a heartbeat. The money side of things and so many things being in both their names makes the situation so much harder. Mum has also said that she could not afford to live in our house if they split up as just a one person salary would not cover everything. I currently do not have a job and am actively;y looking for a new one after leaving a toxic work environment recently, but I do my part by paying for the houses monthly internet bill which lowers the cost of my board and my brother and sister in law also chip in in their way, but I still don't know if that would be enough.
Now of course, I love my step dad. I really do. He has been my main father figure in my life for the past 20 years since my mum divorced my real dad in 1999 when I was 2 years old. I still see my real dad on a regular basis and we have a good relationship, but I obviously have not lived with him 24/7 like I have with my step dad for 20 years. It's just that unfortunately, he is just not working in our family anymore and something has to change.
I guess what I am asking for is some advice and some help. Is there a way that we can move on from him? Is there a way where we can get him out of our lives without our lives being shaken up in the process. We have lived in this house for 18 years and it is our home. The thought of moving somewhere else just because we wouldn't be able to afford it anymore is heartbreaking to me. I know I may eventually move out one day if I get a girlfriend or whatever, but more heartbreaking for my mum than anything else.
So my question to you all is, has anyone out there reading this experienced the same sort of thing I have just described to you and if so, how did you manage to get out of it (if you did) and get your family back again? Any sort of advice or information or whatever else you can give me would be so much appreciated.
Thank you for reading and listening.
