[ { "from": "human", "value": "Just found out my adult daughters stepfather sexually abused her 10 years ago Throwaway account because I am not proud of the actions that took me out of my daughter’s life. \n\nMy daughter was born in 2005. In 2006 I was charged with some crimes. Originally got probation and my wife stayed with me. I violated probation and went to prison and my ex filed for divorce before I left county for the prison. But then she didn’t push the divorce. It just sat there. For almost two years. She also cut off contact with me and would not send me letters or allow me to have phone calls. I got zero information about my daughter. \n\nI figured my wife just didn’t have time or money to finalize the divorce. And while I didn’t have any money, I had time and the ability to file motions in my divorce case for free. I accepted everything my wife asked for. She got our house, cars, what little money we had and full custody (until I got out and then it was supposed to be revisited). I got our divorce finalized about 25 months after she filed it. Then I still had another six years I spent locked up. \n\nI got out at the end of 2016. I entered therapy and tried to make contact with my ex to try to set up some reunification with my daughter (who was 11 by then. I hadn’t seen her since she was 2). Because my charges were violent (but not domestic) my PO didn’t allow me to see my daughter unless her Mom said it was okay. And I was told that would not happen by my exes Dad. \n\nI was on parole until February 2019. As soon as I got my termination papers I went to the court house and filed what I thought I needed to in order to see my daughter, or start the process. Found out I did it wrong. That took 6 months to get my incorrect filing dismissed so I could refile the right way. Hired a lawyer and filed parentage time papers. My ex already had a lawyer and the day after my wrong filing was dismissed she filed to have her new husband adopt my daughter. \n\nApparently that type of case has to be resolved before mine can be acted on. So I had to file as an intervenor in that case to object. They were using some procedural hurdles to delay delay delay. And then in March 2020 Covid struck and the court system ground to a halt for non criminal matters. \n\nRemember my daughter was born in 05. So a few months after COVID started she turned 15. It took what seemed like forever to finally get to a hearing with the court. We had to try mediation and that was an absolute waste of money. I wouldn’t budge from wanting to have some contact with my daughter and my ex wouldn’t budge from me completely giving up parental rights. We finally were going to have a hearing in September 2021. She was almost 16. The night before court my exes lawyer reached out and said the adoption was what my daughter wanted. And regardless of any other evidence or argument the court was most likely going to heavily weight her decision and also most likely discriminate against an absent father who had been gone for so long and did I really want to keep fighting and pissing off my daughter. \n\nThat made a lot of sense. So I withdrew my objection to the adoption as long as the court asked her if that was her wish and I still be allowed to send letters and presents even if I got no reply about them. \n\nThat was almost three years ago. My daughter reached out to me over email almost six months ago and while many of her emails are coming from a place of pain I feel like there had also been a lot of healing too and some growth in our relationship. It’s possible she is just using me because I send her money and gifts. But I have a budget I discussed with my current wife that we feel comfortable spending on my oldest daughter and I don’t spend outside that without talking with my wife. \n\nI found her TikTok account shortly after she emailed me. Her username on TikTok is the same as her Venmo. Several of her videos mentioned being a #csasurvivor. \n\n\nI wasn’t sure until today if her stepdad did something, or someone else. Or if she thought I did something before getting locked up. It seems like my ex had not abided by the part of our divorce decree that says we can’t denigrate the other person in the presence of our child. Or allow family to do so either. Anyway, my daughter replied to an email I sent yesterday asking if she’d be ok with me going to her HS graduation this month as long as I didn’t upset her Mom (basically stay away so that her mom doesn’t know I am there). She said that would be fine. And then she told me her stepdad had abused her when she was little. And for a long time she’s been mad at me (rightly so) for not being there to treat her with the love and care a daughter deserves from her Dad. \n\nI bought access to the web portal in my state where you can look up information on pending cases. And sure enough I found my ex filed for divorce last year in September and the StepDad was arrested last June. He’s out on pretrial release until he goes to trial in September. \n\nI’m not gonna go vigilante. I have to much to lose by going back to prison, my current wife and younger kids as well as the opportunity to build a relationship with my older daughter. \n\nAnd I don’t need therapy advice. I will definitely be talking to at least two therapists about this. I have different therapists that deal with different issues for me working in tandem. \n\nBut I just needed to vent. And scream. And wail. And cry. And tell people I don’t know that my actions set in motion my daughter’s eventual sexual assault. I’m not taking responsibility for his crimes obviously. That bastard can go to prison for as long as they can sentence him. But if I had been the father she needed and deserved, possibly she wouldn’t have been hurt so bad. \n\nAny advice on how to empathize with my daughter and what kind of support she needs would be much appreciated. \n\nTl;dr\n\nMy actions indirectly eventually led to my daughter being abused by my ex wife’s new husband.

Now we just have to watch our backs.\n\n\nI have 2 teenage sons. They are both kind and respectful children. We live in the country, on a dead-end road. There are probably a dozen houses on our road. There is one jerk face neighbor (hereafter known at JF) who's been nasty to our kids since we moved here almost 5 years ago. He drives his big truck quickly and aggressively, charging close to them if they happen to cross paths while out walking/biking/running. He doesn't do this if my husband or I are with them, but he has driven out on his quad to the end of his driveway to challenge whether we \"belonged in the neighborhood.\" We were on the paved, town-maintained public road. \n\nThis story involves my youngest. We'll call him James. He's 13. He likes to put on his headphones to listen to podcasts about cars while he walks after school. There is only a stretch of about a mile before he would be on the main road, so James walks back and forth a few times so he can stretch out and enjoy the whole podcast. We live about half a mile from JF, our properties don't touch. \n\nToday was a beautiful day, and James walked for a long time. On one of his loops he came to the end of the road where he turns around. This is the spot where JF's mailbox is. It's not a cul de sac, the paved road ends just past here and it continues in gravel for about 500 feet before making a 90 degree turn. This is probably a driveway as there is one more house down that way but there is no indication of private property and the town plows/sands/maintains beyond this point to the bend in the road. Because of our previous interaction with JF (aggressively) questioning us, we always turn around where the paved road meets the gravel, this is roughly 2 feet after JF's mailbox. None of that should be relevant but I'm giving you all he facts so you can let me know if my perspective is off.\n\nWhen James reached the turn around spot he was surrounded by 4 dogs. He said they were medium sized but knows little about breeds. He tried to back away. 3 lost interest but the 4th bit him. It broke the skin on his calf through exercise pants. It wasn't really a bad bite. One puncture. One opposite tooth left a bruise but didn't break the skin. It didn't bleed. \n\nMy husband (Charles) and I went to JF's door. Charles was kind, polite and even apologized for bothering JF, explained that James had been bit. JF's response? \"your kid shouldn't be on my property\". First of all, I really don't think he was. Second, your dog BIT my son. That's not ok. We explained we didn't want any trouble but needed to know about the dog's vaccination status. He says they're all up-to-date (didn't even ask which dog it was). I told him I needed to see proof. He exploded. His wife knows where all that stuff is and she's working. I told him I'd need to see those papers first thing tomorrow. He exploded some more. I asked for his phone number. He very quickly rattled it off. He never asked for mine. I'm pretty sure he has no idea which house we live in. I don't believe he has any intention of getting back to me. I'm afraid that the dogs are not current on their vaccinations. It's 230 am.

I honestly don't have very many other places to put it or ask about. Sorry for long post, I'll give a tldr at the bottom.\n\nI want to preface this by saying I don't think I'm transphobic. I don't want to be. I've always been supportive of trans people, actively have trans friends that I'm completely comfortable with. Just something about it being my best friend for years has made me uncomfortable, especially with how they'd been handling things this past year. I was hoping to get some advice from people that have been in a similar situation.\n\nMy (22M) friend (24), came out as trans. We'd been best friends for years (3 years). They'd always struck me as masculine, confident in their masculinity, etc (note: they're bisexual). Over the past year, they'd started to fetishize trans women, dated a number of them over the course of months, always breaking up in less than 3 weeks. At the start, they had been in a trans discord, and as time went on made friends in there. Eventually, around last october, they decided they were trans. Had gone around a month without telling me, just getting support from members of the discord.\n\nThey finally told me around september. They told me they didn't know they were trans until a month ago. After they said that, they immediately started acting very different from how they had for the years I'd known them. They said they were always that way, but it's very different things. We're roommates, anytime I'm making food now, they're begging me for food, and when I say no they act like it's a joke. I've asked them to stop this many times. Whenever I start a conversation, they always turn the conversation around to be about them. They've been trying to act feminine, but like extremely exaggerated. It's hard to describe.\n\nI'm not the only one that has noticed my friend acting different. My girlfriend has noticed, and other friends have noticed. It's difficult to bring up. In my head I can't help but think it's an act, but at the same time, idk, I feel like I'm becoming transphobic. It worries me that it will impact how I think of other trans people. My friend has become pretty obnoxious, and I have started hating hanging out with them in public. They always wear extremely revealing clothes now (lacey seethrough shirts, short shorts, etc.) and are extremely touchie.\n\nI asked my other trans friends about it, and they each told me something else. One of them told me it's a typical reaction, they're probably becoming more comfortable with themselves and to give it time. The other one ranted at me how I sound like her parents and am becoming transphobic. To bottle it up and not let it impact others. I don't know what to do.\n\nI'm basically their only irl support network, since they're family is 100% not-supportive (anti-trans conservative christians). I've driven them to doctor's appointments for this, and am in no way getting in the way. I just don't know what to do. They also are depressed anytime I talk to them, so I don't want to offload.\n\nTL;DR: \nI feel like my friend has changed since coming out as trans. They themselves said they didn't know they were trans until last october (told me in september). Seeing them act different and more obnoxious has made me worried I'm becoming transphobic.\n\n \nEDIT: Thank you all so much for your comments. I'm gonna take my friend out to dinner tonight, and talk about everything with her. Bring up concerns, and try to be more vocal about my own personal boundaries. I think also, I'm gonna see about getting my friend into therapy and some more hobby groups around town, so I'm not the only IRL support.

My dad transitioned when she was 49 years old. I was 19 at the time, and it hit me really hard. She was still the same person she’s always been, but seeing her embrace feminine things like makeup, nails, fashion, etc. was very strange and new to me. She also became much more emotional, likely a byproduct of hormones. It was hard to adjust. Now, though, 3 years later, I couldn’t be happier she made this change for herself. She’s grown into her identity in a beautiful way. A lot of the over-the-top behaviour has subsided. So, my advice to you is to be patient. Your friend is exploring a whole new identity and will seem like a whole different person at first.

I work out at orange theory a few times a week but would definitely say I’m an emotional eater, which is also made worse by the fact I’m still breastfeeding and that hunger is REAL. \n\nHe’s blamed the intimacy issues we’ve had after our son is born on my weight and that, while he loves me, he doesn’t find me as attractive as he did when I was 27. We’ve done some couples counselling and despite realizing that it was more than just my weight that was causing our intimacy issues, it’s still bothering him. \n\nI’m really worn down by all this. My weight is a really sensitive point for me, and he knows I dealt with eating disorders in my teens and early twenties. He can get really controlling about what and when I eat and makes passive aggressive comments when I have snacks. It’s really making life miserable. \n\nAt this point, I really don’t know what to do. I’m still breastfeeding, but will be weaning my son in two months and was hoping I might be able to try ozempic or something like that to help kick start some weight loss. The other part of me thinks I shouldn’t have to if I’m happy and healthy and this is a “him” problem not a “me” problem, and if this continues to be a “him” problem then I know a really quick way to drop 180 pounds.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Why do men have to be so creepy? I’m just trying to be friendly. So today i was at the gym. As i left i started driving on a main road. I noticed a girl my age from the same gym walking home. When i get home, i realize i forgot my bottle at the gym. So i drive back to the gym to look. On my way there i still see her walking. I search and find my bottle. I drive back home once i get my bottle and still see her walking. I proceed to go home and take my dog for a walk. And on the final stretch i walk on the Main Street. And in the distance i see she’s still walking. So apparently we live pretty close to eachother. And she has to walk over a mile. \n\nI don’t know her. But I’ve offered rides and driven guys i barely/don’t know from my old gym because i saw them walking. But understandably a girl has to keep her guard up. Admittedly she’s cute but that’s not my intention. It’s just extremely hot and I’d hate to walk home in this temperature especially after a workout. If i see her tomorrow i want to offer her a ride due to how hot it’s supposed to be. But i feel like i shouldn’t offer. I know it’s a cringe line but I’m trying to be a nice guy with no ulterior motive. I still feel like it’ll come off really creepy. I should probably just leave it be. Right?\n\n\nEdit: comments are exactly what i expected. A lot of yes. A lot of no. And a lot calling me creepy for even thinking of offering.\n\nEdit 2: Fuck this I’m not gonna do it. Too many people calling me creepy for even thinking it.\n\nEdit 3: I will not be doing it. But i need to clear some stuff up that i should’ve given more context to. \n\nIt’s a powerlifting gym in a small strip mall. I’ve only gone to small gyms my whole life because i prefer them. I didn’t even consider the size of some gyms. Which now i realize a lot of people probably assumed. This gym is in what used to be a mattress store. It’s actually annoyingly small at times given how close machines are. There are only 3 treadmills and 2 stair masters for cardio. That’s how small it is. Yesterday we worked out in the same area a few times. She had on a neon outfit so it stood out when she was walking home. One time we were on machines directly next to each other. Gym is too small to not notice people. I could probably tell you every person that was there when i went. \n\nAnd i only mentioned she was cute because i thought it was important as to why it could’ve seemed creepier. If it were an unattractive woman i recognized i would’ve just offered without making an advice post. My age and being cute means she likely gets hit on a lot more which is what i was fearful of. And reading these comments i was justified in my thinking. I will not be offering. \n\nFor the comments about why I’m driving. I recently got a new car that’s stick shift. I’m not comfortable enough for long drives yet. I use my dads automatic for longer drives. But i use the short drive to the gym as practice and it’s helped a lot. Also I’m a power lifter who carries a dufflebag with shoes, belt, wraps, sleeves, chalk, preworkout, bottles and salt. It’s way too heavy to walk a mile with. Plus walking a mile in 100 degree weather with no shade on asphalt after squatting a ton of weight is extremely painful. And the gym also has no AC so walking a mile after working out in an already hot gym sucks. Turning on the cars AC after a workout feels amazing.\n\nAlso i think a lot of people think my intention is to pull up while she’s walking. The plan would’ve been to ask at the gym. I said in a different comment it’d be terrifying for a girl if a guy stopped on the side of the road for her.\n\nThanks for the advice and hostility. I do appreciate the less aggressive and more friendly comments. Even the ones saying no in a respectful way were appreciated. Weird split thread. Half saying no with a large portion calling me a creep and half calling me nice. I will not ask her. If somewhere down the line we start talking maybe I’ll offer. Not likely I’ll even attempt to start a friendship because of how aggressive some comments were. I’m just going to avoid interacting at all.\n\nEdit 4 and final: I saw her when i went and took the advice.

She has told me about multiple times he has told her to play fight/wrestle which is normal but when they do he grabs her by the waist or stomach and holds her against his crotch or he has tried to bend her over. She told me they have play fought before when they were younger and nothing happened but around 2 years ago is when he started doing weird stuff like that.

Since her family is illegal only her brother and sister can work but since her sister really doesn’t work at all her brother is the one that has to work but he uses that to take advantage of her. He has told her that if she doesn’t give him a hug he will stop paying her phone bill and recently while I was spending time with her and her mom they found out they can check when to get a upgrade on there phone plan and when they were looking at it in the car they saw that her brother has been lying to them the whole time and could’ve got her a new phone but instead kept lying and saying that it’s not ready yet just so he has something to control her with and I’m not lying either because her mom called her brother and asked him and he hung up on her mom\n\n5.

I personally don't think much of it, because it isn't a crime to have porn. The man is single, so hey, everyone needs to get off sometimes. However, it did look strange. It was a paused video on an MP4 player, in a small window on his computer. He has other windows open too, but it's just normal casual Youtube stuff.\n\nI don't think he noticed that I saw what was on his screen. In fact, I don't even think he knew it was on his screen. He probably thought he closed it earlier or something.\n\nHe says he's going to get ready to play pool, so he goes to his room and the bathroom. While he's away, I take a closer look at what's on his screen, and sure enough... it's of a little boy. Like no debate, it is of an underage child.\n\nI wanted to throw up and cry, I didn't think he would do anything like this. If there's one file, there's more on his hard drive for sure, right?\n\nI needed to play it off that I never noticed, once he comes back and tells me he's leaving to go play pool. So I hop on a game on my own computer to make it seem like I was too distracted by my own gaming to even notice what's on his computer screen across the room behind me. About 20 minutes later, he comes out, turns off his computer, and says he's leaving, all while I'm playing the game. It seems that it worked.\n\nI told my mother about what happened. I'm staying at my mom's place now. She seems to have the perspective about how to keep the family together, but I personally think this is already past a family matter. This isn't a victimless crime. I don't even know how long this has been going on. He's always been a good father to me, but I feel so disgusted. Has he ever looked at me the same way he looks at those little boys? How does he even acquire this stuff?\n\nWhat should I do? Should I file an anonymous claim? Should I confront him? Tell him to seek help?\n\n&#x200B;\n\nEDIT:\n\nMy girlfriend (19F) comes over on the weekends sometimes, and she prefers staying at my dad's condo than my mom's house, as there's more to do. I haven't told her anything about what I discovered about my father. I don't feel comfortable bringing her to the condo, especially if she's sleeping over. What should I tell her, if anything?\n\nAlso, my dad's own father has a history of pedophilia as well. My dad grew up to hate and despise him, as he abused and molested his own children.

About a week ago, we had sex for the first time. It wasn’t his first but it was mine. It sort of just happened. I never sat out the intention to do it. In fact, I talked to him when we had just started dating about the fact that I can’t have sex because my family are extremely religious ((and I personally believed it was wrong to have sex before marriage- but now everything seems blurry)) they will literally kill me if they knew. These sort of crimes have been happening in my home village. They call it an honor crime and the murderers always get away with it. I have been talking to a counselor in school and he told me I could apply for asylum or something like that which i have no interest in doing so at all. I can hide the fact that i’m no longer a virgin from them but the problem is that I have been having discomfort and other symptoms and Google tells me to visit a gynecologist as soon as possible. So i booked an appointment but they asked for my insurance information which my father, an extremely strict and religious man, pays for it and is the primary holder. He checks literally everything on my bank statement and insurance information. He knows everything about how i spend my day and his money even though he is not currently here in the state.

It was obviously a lie and they knew. The lady started yelling at me speaking too fast. I had no idea what she was saying. I got scared, I cried and being completely mortified I just left. It was an awful experience. A few hours later, crying in my bed, I went back to reddit reading more comments. Someone suggested i talk to my boyfriend and not freeze him out. So i talked to him.

My mother died shortly after my birth in a car accident but my dad has been there for me and is always trying his best to give me the best childhood he can, but sometimes he drops me off at my uncles house to spend some time with his friends alone and go drinking. So on tuesday he wanted to go watch football with his friends and dropped me of by his brothers place to take care of me for the day. It was pretty normal for most of the evening (like it normally is) but then my uncle put his hand on my upper thigh while we were watching TV on the couch. I moved away but he moved closer again and put his hand on my leg again. It was really uncomfortable, but I didnt say anything to him, since I was scared.\n\n Nothing much more happened after this but I was still scared, so I told my dad everything the next day and he was really concerned at first but after I told him again he got pretty angry and drove over to my uncles place alone. After some time I got concerned because he wasnt home yet (My uncle lives only 10-15 minutes away from us and at that time he was gone for about two hours), it was also weird because he is normally very overprotective with me and wouldnt leave me without anyone for such a time period (Im 14, so its not like I cant be home alone he is just extremely anxious since he lost my mother). \n\nSo I called my mothers sister to ask her if she knows something. She doesnt really like my dad since she partly blames him for my mothers death but it seemed like the only option to call her. She did pick up and quickly informed me of the situation. My dad beat up my uncle pretty badly (like really bad, he aperantly broke some ribbs) and my grandparents and my aunt are all with them right now. My dad came home very late that day and acted like everything was okay. But today after I talked with my aunt again yesterday and she told me that both my grandparents cut ties with my dad completely (My uncle was always the favorite and they believed him over my dad aparently) and his brother filed a police report.

At the moment you feel bad because of the trouble he is in. But, as an adult he is responsible for his own decisions. If he is as good as you say, he will likely know this too. Let him know that you love him, that you are worried about him and want him to stay away from the rest of the family for the time being. They may eventually come to their senses or may not.
