I hate everything

This is so real. I'm so, so sorry you're going through this. I don't have siblings but my parents have completely ignored the fact I'm trans and into men, and started to push their expectation of me g…

Sister (29F) has not invited me (32F) to be a part of her wedding. Does she not want me to come?

Yikes. Oh man. I'm so, so sorry OP. That is not OK. She is subjecting you to an abusive situation while keeping you away from your literal newborn baby. She is far too old to not realize what she is d…

(TW) Forced cosmetic procedures as a minor – is there a name for this kind of trauma?

I'm so, so sorry your mother did that to you. This is horrific to read and I'm enraged on your behalf. Before I posted this thread I had no idea there were so many of us who were victims of our mother…

My (M19) Gf (F19) constantly asks for details on me being raped because she "can't wrap her head around it", is this worth it?

34m here. Your gf and your Dad have both horrifying attitudes towards you, they disgust me. I'm so, so sorry that this happened to you. You were raped, and you were made to feel inferior for it, inste…

Found out my wife cheated before, after & during marriage

The marriage is done, you being a father never will be. ***Tell your family or friends about this, just to get perspective and support.*** *Do* get a lawyer ASAP, *don't* assume that she'll get prim…

Covert narcissists are emotional sadists!

As someone who's played the piano all my life my heart breaks for you. I'm so, so sorry. I agree that they aren't capable of love, they hate everyone and the only joy they feel is schadenfreude.

She did it on one of the worst nights of my life.

You sound like you're interpreting this the right way and not taking her back, but good lord that's an awful thing she did and I'm so sorry that you lost your father your relationship at the same time…

I stumbled on my husband’s reddit account. One of them, anyway.

I'm so, so sorry. I know this pain well. I found something similar, but on Craigslist. I can't even put into words how gut-punching it is. How much it makes you feel crazy. You have to start question…

My (31F) boyfriend (28M) has not invited me to his home after two years of dating, and I don't know how to talk about it.

Oh he's 100% keeping you as his side chick. He probably has a wife and kids. I'm so, so sorry.

My mom told me when i was a kid my dad used to ask her to deflower me.

He said that to your mother and she didn't immediately divorce him? That's awful! I'm so, so sorry you experienced that!

My mother said she thought I'd kill myself

I'm so, so sorry. That is a truly disgusting and evil thing to say to anyone, but especially your child. I hope you have support 🩷

My grandmother says it’s my fault that my parents are dead, and that I have no right to mourn them.

I promise you that you're worth knowing 😞. I know what it feels like growing up in a family that makes you feel guilty just for being born. I'm so, so sorry. I hope one day you understand just how mu…
