16 | 1cbmvrr_l10frqj | null | l10frqj | It's a little on the long side but I desperately need some input on this.
My sister (late 20s, single mom) had my nephew when she was a young adult and I was in middle school. Toddler stage, I basically had to watch over him w/ some help. It wasn't all the time and I was mostly fine with it. Issues here and there no big deal. *Her MBTI & Enneagram is INFJ 1w2 and I'm INTP 5w6 (maybe this could help idk).*
I love my nephew (< 10yrs old) and I love my sister. But for half a year, I've been looking after him constantly. He's not awful, but she doesn't show any authority or discipline.
My sister works 12 hour night shifts & will be gone for 14 hours until the next morning. She doesn't work 5 days but when she's not working I'm still watching him sometimes. She's also going through school and it's about to get more hectic soon. On my end, I've been taking a break from college since May 2023.
October-December: I had to wake up at 7am** to get my nephew ready and take him to school because my sister had important things to do. Had to help my nephew with his homework & makes sure he eats & put him to bed (all takes many hours & he's a picky eater).
* **I'm an insomniac and anything regarding proper sleep is a struggle for me.*
December-February: She got a job; didn't have to take him to school, had to get him ready and pick him up. Still had to help with his work (she once got upset with me because I wasn't on top of it), with eating, & bedtime.
February-March: She got a car; she wanted me to still get him ready in the morning, but I stopped doing that. Still on homework duty. I don't get him from school anymore, but I still have to look after him until bedtime. *This month is still the same.*
What pushed me over the edge is when she had to get some documents for something. The office was lollygagging and waited until last minute to notify her that it was ready; she's been stressing. Long story short, she told me, within the last hour of pick up, that I need to get my nephew. I basically didn't want to and asked why couldn't she handle it. I got him, and then she throws a fit and says, "I don't care about her needs."
I've had to plan my days around her schedule for months, there's time I can't go see my friends because of her. There's times when, as disgusting as it sounds, I can't even take care of my own hygiene. To add to this, she only payed me in January (less than $60).
Then this Sunday, I consulted her about how I feel and we made an agreement but she ended up complaining today about how tired she is from work and not getting enough sleep and saying she needs help. We stood in awkward silence.
So what should I do? I don't want her to struggle but I feel like I'm at my witts end here. | My sister wants me to be her child's second parent | 1cbmvrr | [

43 | 1ch6aqt_l22es7x | null | l22es7x | I live in a city and about 70 yards away from my place is an apartment building (probably 12-20 units) and on the side of it is a bright white flood light that beams directly into my bedroom every night, it's crazy how bright it is considering how far away I am from it.
It wouldn't bother me as much if it were orange like a street lamp, but if I sit up just a little bit in my bed or need to get up in the middle of the night, the light blasts me and -- due to the cool color temperature -- it's like drinking a cup of visual coffee so it just wakes me up. I have pull down roller shades in my room but I like to crack the window a just few inches and if I pull the shades up to be in line with the exposed window, the light still gets in. It's so annoying.
The light is \~20 feet in the air on a brick wall and behind a 8' tall fence that is \~5' from the wall, so I feel like this might be a no go, though I didn't see any cameras last time I checked. Even if I had a ladder, I doubt I'd be able to reach the light, but if I could get inside the fence, I'd spray that bastard with a transparent orange spray paint. Any ideas?

1,479 | 15nygb8_jvq46o3 | null | jvq46o3 | My gf just moved into her first home after months of looking in a seller's market and after years of saving from her hard work. Nextdoor to her lives a family with two shitstain teens. A 7 foot fence is between the property. We've been nothing but cordial to the family since moving her in.
After going away on a work trip, she came back to the side of her house having been egged. There is only one angle from which the eggs could have been thrown to hit the house and that is from across the fence. It also looks like they stole her garbage can that she just bought from the city after her other neighbors kindly brought it next to the garage while she was away.
Would love a way to get back at those kids without harming their parents. Open to any/all suggestions

a girl who he’s been talking to for months. Calling her baby. Driving an hour to pick her up. Missing work to go out with her. Sending voice messages to her.
he sees nothing wrong with it.
I feel like shit knowing for at least the past two months I’ve been here not knowing. How tf do I know he’s not fucking her.
he lives at my house rent free, refuses to help with anything and while we were going through the rough patch I told him do not entertain other girls which make sense since we still live together and he insists we still sleep in the same bed, etc.
he says it isn't cheating and he still loves me. At this point I’m beyond done. It isn’t the first time he’s done something like this but it’s the first time he’s actually met up with a girl.

1,083 | 174634a_k47ma2m | null | k47ma2m | As the title says, my neighbor just installed a huge wooden playground with slides, swing and a huge pirate-themed wooden tower with a floor at approx. 2 meters high where you can find a pirate spyglass aiming directly to our garden for his 6 yo autistic child.
For the context, I'm living in a typical Belgian suburb, meaning that all the gardens side by side with a 1.80 meters high fence between each.
So the tower is higher than the fence, located 1 meter away from it and provide the child a direct view to our garden, enhanced by his spyglass if it wasn't enough. Also, the back of our house is made of bay windows meaning that we are now forced to close the window blind to maintain our privacy.
Moreover, the child is now spending his all day in his new playground and constantly yelling "hElLooo HeEelLoOo" to any member of my family he sees from his Barad-dûr tower. From time to time it could be cute, because deep down this little one is not responsible for his condition.. But 20 times a day is testing my patience.
Last time, I received guests at home for an aperitif and the weather allowed us to be on the terrace, which is pretty rare in Belgium ahah ! Unfortunately it was impossible for us to stay outside due to the child who was screaming onomatopoeia from his tower. The child's parents, for their part, lock themselves inside and do not calm their child. Maybe they are also tired, it can't be easy, but I don't blame the child who must surely be very happy with his new toy.
To be clear, I have no problem with his autistic son and autism in general, on the contrary, when I meet them in the street I don't fail to be comprehensive and accept physical touch. However, the fact that he spends his days yelling at me when I want to relax in my garden is too much.
We used to enjoy our garden that we have well landscaped, with a pond, a terrace, plants, trees but now it's ruined by this yelling child spying us.
Of course, I tried the classical ethical methods of explaining to the neighbors that maybe it was a little bit to high compared to the fence and that I'm not confortable having his child looking at me all day long even if I'm inside. Unfortunately, there are no regulations about children playgrounds in private garden in Belgium.
How can I enjoy my garden and my privacy as I used to without a child spying me? Any unethical advice appreciated. | ULPT Request : Neighbors installed a huge wooden playground with a hightower right next to my fence for their autistic child | 174634a | [

Only difference was that the kid would narrate really loudly what we were doing in a play by play manner e.g. \"\"the man and the woman are working in the garden / the man is now looking angrily over the fence\"\".... Annoying but eventually the kid was bored with the play set and never really used it after a month or two. I was about to sneak over at night and spray paint the lenses but never had to fortunately."

407 | 17gld3z_k6heaww | null | k6heaww | So I have a coworker; we will call her Vicky. Vicky loves to talk, talk about herself and her life. Today she was told by my boss to come over and help me finish my job. I actively avoid her because she’s just too much for me.
Since she hasn’t talked to me in awhile, she shares with me how her 11yr old autistic, adhd son is going through puberty (she’s a single mom). How she has caught him in the act of pleasuring himself and she wants to help him discover his body. At this point I’m extremely uncomfortable but I am to afraid to say so, but I just smile nod and continue to listen as I usually do. Vicky says she has given him magazines, toys, a special pillow, and is pursuing on getting him a subscription to some porn. At this point I’m screaming inside that this is not ok. Then she continues to tell me she and her son have laid in bed together to look at these magazines “in a nonsexual way” to see what he likes because he was afraid to touch the magazine. She just goes on and on about what they talked about in bed and the things he liked and didn’t!
Ahhhh!! She was also talking to another coworker who’s just a young adult about this stuff too! My husband says I need to go to HR. It bothers me so much and she has no idea that it’s so wrong and inappropriate. Vicky’s oblivious to reality. She’s the type of person; once her son turns 18 she’s going to quit her job and be a full time caretaker to her son so the state can pay her. This is what she has told me.
So Reddit do I go to HR, the cops, CPS?! Help!
Update: I have spoken with HR and CPS was called.
Thanks everyone!
Some more info: In the past she has stated that she wanted to get tested for autism and have her daughter tested too. But she also stated that if she did get tested she’s afraid that she would loose custody of her kids to her baby daddy. | My coworker gives porn to her son. | 17gld3z | [

355 | 1cr98n4_l3wkbte | null | l3wkbte | Okay so this started happening a few weeks ago but escalated last night. So a few weeks ago my (27f) daughter (10f) asked to borrow one of my candles for decoration. I allowed it but she was NOT allowed to light the candle under any circumstances it was strictly for decor
A week ago I noticed a few small blue spots on her carpet. I questioned her about it and she told me she accidently dripped her drink when bringing it to her desk which I bought at the time
A few nights ago while washing her bedsheets I noticed more spots. They were again blue and when I questioned her again she told me she also got some of her drink on her bed which seemed odd to me because she never really drinks any colored liquids but I hadn't put two and two together yet. She does eat those colored frozen pop things so I figured it must have been that
Last night I left her alone for an hour to run to the store and when I got back she was acting weird. I noticed she had showered which she never does at night so I went into her bathroom and found dried blue candle wax all over the floor and the sink. I immediately searched her room and confiscated the candle and asked her how she lit it. She said she didn't light it but clearly she's lying
Obviously all candles are removed from the house until I find out exactly how she lit the candle and can trust her again
What would be an appropriate punishment and how exactly do you think she lit the candle in the first place. I don't have matches anywhere in the house and the one lighter I do have is locked away in my bedroom which she could not get to
UPDATE
Wow this post really took off so I have an update.
I obviously know she was playing with the wax so I sat her down and asked her why. I asked if she was trying to wax her legs like some of you suggested and she said no. I told her it's okay she can tell me anything and she said she just liked the way it felt
I asked her how she lit the candle and she said she used the stove
I'm not going to ground her because she was honest with me. I warned her about the potential risk of starting a fire. I also warned her about potentially burning herself if she got more than she intended on herself
Were going to watch a fire safety show together and she is going to help me clean the carpet and the bed and bed post where the majority of the wax had dried up
Once we are finished cleaning the mess she made I am going to reward her with an LED candle set

Before he died he had some health problems undiagnosed and lost his balance a lot and had two seizures so she asked me if he ‘fell down again’. She doesn’t know what drugs are. Any advice appreciated."

I got a book (non-religious) explaining how everything lives and dies. We read it, I explained what that meant to her, and answered all of her questions, then I told her that her uncle had died. I told her that he was very sick and died that way, and it’s not something she needed to worry about happening to her or me. That usually only very old and very sick people die. Keep things very factual and in the simplest terms possible. I have an idea of how hard this is for you and I’m so sorry you’re going through it. When she’s much older I fully plan on explaining it in more detail to her so that she understands the seriousness and danger of drug use. I’m determined to make something good come of it."

Stuff like “if I was only 40 years younger” *winks*. Has a nickname for me and always smiles in that way where you know there not thinking pg.
One day he had a entire one sided conversation with me on exact words “I really hope you don’t end up like all these other teens girls! Don’t go around Fing like a rabbit!” Over and over on how he is advising me to not be like other girls and F like a rabbit.
Another time he told me “if you ever want to learn a language. F*** someone who know that language. That’s how I learned English” (he came from France)
He is the cause for most of my panic attacks, and won’t let me leave the room if I ask because I’m having one.
I once reported to him that a kid was sexually harassing me. His response “well I understand why. You are a beautiful women.”
Recently a kid reported him because he threw a broom at them. So he’s kinda on edge not trying to make wrong moves. But he’s still constantly yelling like Gordon Ramsley at us and cursing up a storm.
I want to report him but I’m afraid if he’s not fired I will have hell for the rest of the year. | Should I report my teacher? | ao9o0w | [

2,134 | 153y0qm_jsly7qu | null | jsly7qu | Well exactly what the title states, also I’m writing this on mobile sorry for any formatting issues.
My (28f) ex-fiancée “Derek” (32m) disappeared the morning of our wedding 2 years ago, evading all attempts to reach him from myself and his family. It was devastating, absolutely soul crushing, the event turned into a party to distract from the pain of the unknown, afterwards I returned to our apartment and slept on the bathroom floor in my wedding dress. It was quite the ugly sight to be honest. His mother ended up coming to the apartment when she informed me tearfully that Derek had run off with an ex of his, they had apparently reconnected a week prior to wedding and he just couldn’t go through with it opting instead to rekindle his relationship with his ex. His family was horrified, I didn’t hear from him until 3 months after he left. He called me, apologised and then revealed that his ex had been hiding his child from him that he just found out about, he wanted to be with them. That’s pretty much all that was said, I didn’t say much, actually I think I only said “hello”. The whole situation left me numb, I just didn’t care anymore. Thankfully though my friends were and continue to be there for me, through all of this muck, they encouraged me to seek therapy and work on healing. Which I’ll be honest was terribly difficult, but after year I felt myself again.
Which brings me to today, after the this whole debacle and subsequent self improvement/rebuilding I moved to the UK (originally from Australia) for a change in scenery. Last night I got a message request on instagram, it was Derek. “Hey 👋🏻, I’ve heard you moved to Wales, that’s so cool, I’m travelling to Cardiff towards of the end of July. I’m deeply sorry about everything and I want to discuss what happened leading up to the wedding. I hope Im not overwhelming you, let me know if you’d like to talk over lunch.” Firstly, no idea who told him about my move. Secondly, I don’t know if I crave closure from him, but I also don’t won’t to decide to decline to only layer on regret my decision.
So I turn to you strangers of the internet, what should I think about before reaching a decision? Would be wise to decline or should I humour him and listen to his “reasons”?
Okay minor update: Wow, this garnered far more attention than I anticipated, so bare with as I try to navigate all of your advice. Although the general consensus is quite clear. I have learned that an old mutual friend of ours revealed where I moved, and evidently he’s been stressing that he needs to tell me something. For the time being I have decided to simply ignore his message, and work through any emerging feelings with my therapist. Thanks
Update: Hi, so as I mentioned previously I decided to not respond to his message. A day after I received another message from him, which I won’t write out in its entirety, to sum it up he apologised for how disingenuous his previous message was and explained why he had reached out to me. Essentially he wanted to discuss that week, that final week before our wedding and why he left without discussing it. I’ll be honest I’m gonna refrain from going into detail about our whole stories here, but I will say my ex-fiancé (thank you for the correction btw) has been diagnosed with Avoidance PTSD from past experiences, I feel for him but I told him that I still couldn’t move past being left in a state of limbo for 3 months. Irregardless, ultimately I agreed to meet him, and I don’t regret it. He’s not with his ex, I’ve found she’s actually since passed away, which is part of the reason that she reached out to me, and yes the child is his. The lunch was short and in the end he handled me an envelope, which contained all of the money we spent preparing for the wedding. It all honesty it was cathartic for me, I’ve often feared that I’m still subconsciously harbouring feelings for him, but the lunch proved I didn’t. I’ve closed that chapter of my life, with him, with the woman I was and now, now I’m free. Thank you all | Ex-fiancée wants to catch up after he left me at the altar, how do I proceed? | 153y0qm | [

He chose not to talk to anyone though. Because he knew what he was doing was unbelievably sick and wrong.

Instead of calling ANYONE, and canceling the wedding. Not even a cowardly text message. **He let you get ready, get your makeup done, put on your damn wedding dress, and let you think that day was going to be one of the happiest of your life.** He put your parents in a position see their daughter so high and happy and full of love, then utterly destroyed. He put his family in the position of having all eyes on them, their cowardly son, no where to be seen. What he is doing now is one of 2 things.

I got such a shock, I jumped and fell off the bed which gave me a chance to grab some clothes at least. She asked who the girl was and I told her it was Daddy's friend and she was having a sleepover. She seemed satisfied with that so I put her back to bed and she was out like a light in no time so my girlfriend and I went to sleep too.

912 | 18je7jy_kdjot2b | null | kdjot2b | I had a little get together a few weeks ago. The next day I found my bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 15 year had been emptied. It was in my sort of out of the way expensive whiskey drawer that I never told anyone at the party about. MSRP on the bottle I think is like $150 (good luck), but I paid almost 1k. It is extremely rare and it was my yolo bottle for my wedding.
I asked my friends and my best man admitted he found it trying to get more booze. My friends shared it and I was too drunk to realize. He had no idea it was that special and said he would buy a new one. Here’s the thing. You don’t just go out and buy a bottle of Pappy. Most liquor stores don’t have it and by some miracle they do, it’s 2k easy. I paid 1k and that was cheap for secondary. I explained this and he thought what you guys are probably thinking and said that’s ridiculous to pay for whiskey.
My friends all split some Johnny Walker Blue label (it’s like $150 and they think it’s top shelf. I hate scotch) As a way to make up for it. My friends also don’t understand my passion for whiskey and how much I wanted that exact bottle at my wedding. They think the scotch makes it even. We’ve argued for weeks and they just don’t understand. I don’t know what to do. Even if I get them to understand, they are completely unwilling to pay minimum 400 each for a new one.
For my whiskey enthusiasts out there, I think the worst part was they said it tasted pretty good with coke.
Edit: One thing I want to point out is I have no leverage here. These are basically all of my groomsmen and if I try to uninvite them (not actually considering it), it would make the wedding extremely weird.

I’ve never really missed meat too much but recently (past few months) my mind has started to wander for many reasons.
Reason one, I’m a picky eater. It’s embarrassing going out to eat and not being able to get anything other than cheesy carbs or a salad because I don’t eat meat and don’t eat much of anything else.
Reason two, I’ve been travelling. I’ve found myself having a hard time not eating local foods from the places I’ve visited, i’m feeling like I’m missing out on an integral experience.
Reason three, I miss chicken strips. Oh my god I miss them so much. I’ve never had an urge like this.
Reason four, I’m worried about my health, I’m so tired all of the time.
The only reason I haven’t eaten meat again is because I think I will feel guilty. I think ingesting a delicious chicken strip again is something I can never take back - I’m scared. Please help.

I've considered being vegetarian myself, my heart bleeds for the foolish, negligent ways we treat all animals.. but there's nothing we can individually do to stop the industry. If you don't eat it, someone else will.. or worse, it'll go to waste I balance it instead by committing myself to not harming any living beings as much as I can. Perhaps that's me finding excuses to eat meat? But it's a philosophy that I at least have control over in my life There's nothing inherently wrong with eating meat, our body has the capability to digest it for a reason and you'd probably get a serious boost in nutrition if you eat the right sources of it. I think you should reflect on the things you have control over (your ethics, views, values) and try to decide if you can find a middle ground. Beginning to eat meat doesn't have to mean you'd gluttonously eat whole cows every day, it would be unfair to have the guilt weigh on you. But it'll depend on how close to your heart your conviction to be vegetarian is"

He tells me I can’t control him anymore (I haven’t tried to). That I am abusive because I cry when he hurts my feelings, that I am manipulative and try to control him.
He says he doesn’t need to tell me where he is going anymore, he hasn’t worked in months, he isn’t paying his share of rent or bills and he won’t let me look at his phone anymore.
He says he won’t leave but I can do what I want, he sleeps on the couch, and has for the last several weeks. The last couple of days he texts me and prays for me (we used to be in a really controlling church) but has said that I am “dark” and have spirits controlling me.
He is 37 and I am 35 and we have 2 kids and have been married for 16 years.

64 | 1chgilk_l22itky | null | l22itky | Hi guys I’m 21f and have a coworker 24m that won’t stop annoying me to no end. I get so angry with him and I don’t know how to ask him to stop. I made a list of everything he’s done since January and I’m planning on bringing this up to my manager.
I don’t know what they will do about this though. Is it okay for me to ask to not be scheduled with him? Can he get fired for this? I really really hate being on shift with him and it makes me really really anxious. I have a shift with him tomorrow.
If my managers don’t do anything can I go to hr? I’m also scared that he will find out I told our managers about this and get mad and do something. The way he acts and gets angry at work I don’t trust him.
I’ve never ever gave him the idea that I like him or flirting with him or anything I am simply just nice and cordial because I want to have a good relationship with all my coworkers. Also my boyfriend and I work together and this coworker knows he is my boyfriend and he will still do this. When I try and go near my boyfriend at work he will stand there and wait for me to finish talking to my boyfriend.
This is the list:
Work
Want to write everything
Called me a bitch multiple times. And Says bitch under his breath when I tell him what to do
Follows me around the whole store. Followed me up until I got to the doors of the bathroom in our store
Says the n word
makes fat phobic jokes and how much he hates them
Touches my hair, puts things in my hair like paper clips (he took a video on his phone putting paper clips in my hair. I don’t have the video)
Gets really close to me from the back when I am on the computers in the warehouse, he pretends he needs something from the desk
He touches my mic (I put it on my back pant loop)
He’s touched my headphones on my phone when they were in the back pocket of my jeans with the reacher grabber thing we have in the warehouse
any time I try to do anything without him he tells me that I hate him, asks me why I hate him, why I don’t wanna work with him, why I’m “pawning” him off to other people
When I don’t work with him, at the end of the day he calls me lazy, says I didn’t do shit all day.
There’s a sharp tool in the warehouse that I had to hide from the desk because he kept banging the desk with it, said hes gonna break the screen of the computer with it and what would happen if he did, told him it would be a bad idea
With the same tool in his hand he told me “what would you do if I bashed this into your head, and gave you a lobotomy like they did back in the day”
We had canned air back in the warehouse that was near empty, he shook the can really hard (on the can it says not to shake it, when you shake it the contents inside get really cold) after shaking it he sprayed the back of my hand with it. And it left my hand red for the rest of the day and it was burning for like 10 mins after
Always spider wrapping my purse, my belongings
One time he spider wrapped my cigarette box
With a spider wrap in his hand he said “what would you do if I just wrapped this around your head”
When I leave the store he would text me saying “you left without saying goodbye I’ll kill myself”
Makes jokes about hitting women
He’ll move product in his hand a certain way or suddenly stop so he can bump into me or graze me
UPDATE: idk if anyone is still wondering, BUT HES BEEN FIRED YALL LETS GOOOOO‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ | My coworker won’t stop touching me and following me. What can I do? | 1chgilk | [

1,591 | eu5uwd_ffm8r8y | null | ffm8r8y | This is a throwaway account that I made a few months ago when my wife was diagnosed, because I needed to vent, but I chickened out and didn't post.
My wife of 24 years was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (referred to as ALS or MND depending on where you live) in August of 2019. The average survival time from diagnosis is 3 years, however, my wife has progressed rapidly and her symptoms now match someone who typically has just months to live.
She can no longer walk, talk, feed herself, wipe her own bottom etc and she struggles to swallow food and breathe comfortably. She's already given up and come to terms with what's coming, but I can't even begin to let go.
Currently, I'm snowed under with the day to day of looking after her and, mercifully, the busy routine doesn't give me time to stop and think about it too much, but something someone said to me today made me realise that at some point I'm really going to be without her and when that happens, when all the activity stops, I'm not sure what's next .. I have no clue. I feel like the normal reaction will be to shut down and feel sorry for myself for a long time. Maybe some advice from someone who's been where I am now could help.
If you've been where I am now, I'd appreciate hearing anything - especially the 'gotchas' - the things that you had no idea would happen, and how you dealt with it.
One final word: As is often the case with posts like this they get upvoted and gilded etc. This is a throwaway account, so I don't care about upvotes, other than wanting more people to see this and hopefully the right person sees it and says something that helps. As for gilding etc .. please don't. If you feel moved by our predicament and you really feel like it, instead, take a minute and find a reputable charity or research organisation in your part of the world that is trying to cure MND/ALS and donate $10. If all that comes of this is that I get some useful advice and a scientist somewhere gets some more money to do research, that's fine with me.
Thanks for listening, I'm off to try and get some sleep.
** EDIT: Wow thank you all. Such kind words. I'm in tears reading all these. I'll answer some of the questions here as I don't think I'll have time to answer each one until later tonight.
Re Help:
Our only nearby family are my parents. They come once a week and help out with laundry, cleaning and so on.
We have carers come to our house for a few hours each day. More would be nice, but our finances and my wife's disability allowance don't give us much more than that.
We also have some equipment on loan from a motor neurone associate here. Wheelchair, shower/toileting equipment, a hoist to lift her between bed, wheelchair etc.
A few people asked if I've considered therapy. I haven't, to be honest. Probably because the workload of look after my wife is so high I don't have time to do much else.
There are more things I should say here but I have to go right now. I'll try to get back on later tonight when she's sleeping and respond directly to replies. | Widowers of reddit, my wife will soon succumb to a terminal illness and I think I need advice. | eu5uwd | [

Over the course of 3 months she went from healthy to unable to walk without falling over, and became totally emaciated as her body refused to accept nutrition of any kind. I can somewhat relatee to the fear and apprehension you feel right now. I also lost my mother in a similarly rapid fashion. I remember carrying her to the bathroom the last time she was able to go by herself because the cancer was eating away at her so fast. The only advice I can give, as cliché as it is, is to revel in the end of her suffering. In the days, months, and years to come, remember her at her best, and know that she is no longer suffering and in pain, being mentally tortured by what her body is doing to her. Your suffering may be helped by the relief of the end of hers I hope that finds peace for you."

Will not show any sort of proof for any of this by the way, so don't ask.
I hate this profession. I feel totally empty, and extremely stressed. I suffer from severe depression. I can't work anymore.
All my friends think I'm loaded from all the success I've had, but in reality I've just spent all the money over the last few years so I'm basically broke. No big purchases either, just pretty steep monthly bills and living life, while working less and less.

4,714 | a5kqxa_ebno5qt | null | ebno5qt | I am at a total loss. My brother is 22 years old but has the mental capacity of about 8. He has seizure disorder, autism, and a litany of other health problems due to brain damage at birth.
He was playing something on his N64 I set up for him and I was downstairs playing on my phone. I was house-sitting (technically babysitting) for my parents. (Yes they are in the process of getting him in assisted living/home for adults with issues like this).
Suddenly out of nowhere I hear a hideous scream, inhuman even. I race upstairs and my brother has the door shut and barred. Horrified, I pound on it and ask what happened and he keeps saying nothing over and over. I demand he open the door and he said no he's busy. He won't tell me what I heard was, or what happened. Freaked out, I race downstairs to the garage and grab my dad's stepladder and climb up to his window, and holy fuck. My brother is hunched over chewing on his fucking now-dead guinea pig. There's blood ***everywhere***.
I immediately called 911, my parents, and his social worker and I don't know how to handle this. He's currently under observation at a mental hospital, my parents are pissed I "let him" do that, and that I called 911 over that, and I am not sure how to cope with this mentally. I mean, what the hell.
**edit**: Lots of good advice from everyone that posted seriously. Thanks for the assurances. I will update after we find out what's going to happen to him. Sounds like he's in observation for 72 hours, so it might be a while before I have anything new to share.
***EDIT/UPDATE:*** My brother was released Friday afternoon into my parents custody, and they have already removed all traces of a pet and have temporarily removed his door. He will probably get the door back but not the lock. The eval we were given was really big and complicated but basically stated that it was probably a seizure that triggered a violent episode. If he exhibits any more violent or potentially violent behavior they requested we call 911 right away. We have a social worker assigned to us and they will be visiting my parents and brother on monday morning. Nothing else new to report, except for my reoccurring nightmares. I am also in the process of seeing a therapist and have an appointment scheduled for this wednesday afternoon for someone that specializes in family related trauma.

My daughter lives alone in a rent controlled apartment and has never asked me for money or help. But I don't understand how she is supporting herself paying her rent, etc. as she has no job. I assume she is running through her savings and if she has lasted this long that means she had at least 40k saved and is just burning through it all.
She has not been applying to jobs or gone on one interview. She has no career path. No job, no prospects, no romantic relationship.
Once in a while I will send her jobs I think look good but I never get a reply. The times that I have asked her when she will get a job I just get vague replies.

218 | 1c9uf25_l0oa6jo | null | l0oa6jo | I (15F) was just minding my own business while on my phone in the living room with my mom and suddenly she blurts out that she had installed mini cameras in my room and that my dad also helped too. She said that she’ll check the footage in a month and that I better make sure that I’m on my best behavior.
I didn’t believe her at first so I decided to ask my dad when he comes back from work, thankfully he came home and I quickly asked him if that was true. And he said it was. I’m actually so terrified right now, not because I did anything bad, because that’s creepy as hell. They probably will see me changing and stuff and they know how uncomfortable I am when people (yes ESPECIALLY family) watches me change.
I wasn’t sure if they were joking because I can’t understand social cues. They even told my brother that they also put cameras in my room.
But my mom was laughing, a whole lot. Like I geninuely wanted to punch her in the face because of that laugh. It sounded like she was mocking me.
I hate that laugh.
Even if they were joking, that’s not something to joke about. They know how uncomfortable I get over stuff related to this.
My parents and I have a rocky relationship and they always wondered why I always lock my self in my room away from them but it’s because of these types of shits they pull to either be funny or controlling. Now they took away my only safe private space.
I wanted to call the cops, but I genuinely don’t know if they were joking and I don’t think the police will take me seriously.
Sometimes I just want to curl up into a ball and wish I didn’t existed, or better yet I wish I wasn’t born into a family like mine.
I don’t know what to do and I’m terrified, I already tore up my room to find the cameras and now I have to go back and clean it up.
What should I do?
Edit 1: I forgot to mention that my mom told me that they will be checking the “footage” at the end of the month. I don’t want to ask them again if they’re lying because they’re going to assume that I have something to hide from them. I’ll keep you guys updated it anything happens.
Edit 2: I’m getting a lot of dms from older men on here asking me to send the footage of me undressing if I end up finding the cameras so I might delete this post soon, I knew it was a bad idea to come for advice here but I really don’t have anyone else to ask and my friends are fed up with me asking for help.
Update: So it ended up being all a joke. I had to find out the hard way, I couldn’t sleep at all last night and I ended up trashing up my whole room to find the cameras and then having a panic attack in the middle of the night.
My parents rushed into the room and had to comfort me. My mom told me that she was just trying to scare me so I can stay out of my room because I always stay locked up in there and either sleep for the rest of the day or just lay on my bed on my phone.
Honestly, she knew better than to say a joke like that. Again, she was laughing about the whole situation. It seems like my mom loves seeing me in misery or just hates me, probably both at this point.
My dad didn’t say anything but he scoffed at me and went back to bed. I don’t think my dad likes me either because all he ever does is laugh at me.

8 | 1cfci1y_l1pq3b2 | null | l1pq3b2 | What I actually want in this post is to ask you if you tried this ULPT that I have in mind and am thinking of putting into practice. A recruiter offered me a job and when he told me about the salary range available I just said that the range seems appropriate but I'd like to negotiate it later in the interview process. I have the impression that they might forget about it and that they will have to guess it when they give me the contract and I'm planning to say "Sorry, there must have been some sort of misunderstanding. When the recruiter said the salary range is between A and B I said I'd accept B, but the contract says something else". Then there can happen 2 things: Either they ask the recruiter about this and he says he forgot to take note of the number I said, or he says he thought I would negotiate this with them. The best case is probably the first, but what could happen in the second case? What are the chances they revisit the recording of the call (if there was one) he had with me to find out?

"value": "Salary negotiation didn't happen What I actually want in this post is to ask you if you tried this ULPT that I have in mind and am thinking of putting into practice. A recruiter offered me a job and when he told me about the salary range available I just said that the range seems appropriate but I'd like to negotiate it later in the interview process. I have the impression that they might forget about it and that they will have to guess it when they give me the contract and I'm planning to say \"Sorry, there must have been some sort of misunderstanding. When the recruiter said the salary range is between A and B I said I'd accept B, but the contract says something else\". Then there can happen 2 things: Either they ask the recruiter about this and he says he forgot to take note of the number I said, or he says he thought I would negotiate this with them. The best case is probably the first, but what could happen in the second case? What are the chances they revisit the recording of the call (if there was one) he had with me to find out? And if they find out, how disastrous would it be? How likely do you think they would buy it if I said \"Oh, my bad, I forgot that's what I actually said.

13,819 | hplk3k_fxsvh68 | null | fxsvh68 | My dad sucks. He beat my mother growing up, left me with a pedophile (it ended the way you’d expect) and constantly villafied my mother growing up. I was raised by my mother and have lived with him a year out of my life. That year was split up between him losing custody because he started drinking again (he is and was a huge alcoholic), then me moving in with him in adulthood only for him to kick me out (in 95 degree weather without any warning whatsoever) in an attempt to manipulate me into letting him sell my parrot. I tried time and time again to have a legitimate relationship with the man but I’ve never been successful.
Now, I don’t hate people because they’re alcoholics. It’s a tough addiction And I applaud anyone who tries to get over it. My father, however, is a mean drunk. Very mean. He punches holes in the walls, disowns me and reowns me, tells blatant lies about my past and tries to guilt me into feeling sorry for him.
After not speaking to him for a year, I’ve just heard that he may be in liver failure. He has two houses, one on mortgage and another he owns outright. I would like to inherit them because owning a house would be a huge step up in my life at my age (22).
My father supposedly has narcissistic personality disorder, though I’m not sure if that’s diagnosed or not. If it isn’t, he definitely shows symptoms. Here’s my request:
How can I contact him again and rekindle a relationship without him being suspicious? I’m not the manipulative type most of the time and already feel guilty considering doing this. My concern is that I’m sure my dad would put something in a Will saying I don’t get anything. I’d like to be on his good side. At this point he’s ruined my life once and tried to twice, and beyond the requisite “he’s my father” I don’t care all that much about him. I don’t want him to die, but if he is going to, I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to get a house.
Edit: so I’ve been talking to the girlfriend. He’s gone batshit, more so than I thought. He’s drinking even more than before, trying to start fights with the other roommate, and then calling the police on him when he doesn’t do anything. He’s told the girlfriend she’s not getting anything because she spoke to my mother (not even told my mother, just spoke to her).
I’ve sent a message about him being sick, but deleted it before he received it (checkmark wasn’t filled in). It said “delete for you” though so I’m worried he’s seen it. If he does and flips out even more at the girlfriend I’m not sure what I should do.
Edit #2: I’ve decided not to contact him.
I have Aspergers. For those of you who think I’m evil I know that sounds like a dumbass excuse but I have a reason for telling you this. As much as you may think I’m a liar, I have never intentionally manipulated anyone in my adult life. I’ve always tried to be kind to the people I like and nice to those who hurt me. I came on hoping people who knew better could tell me how to get my dad to forgive me for whatever he thinks I’ve done and begin to value me again. Many of you delivered on just that or offered other advice on the matter. I thank you all, but I don’t believe I am mentally capable of pulling this off.
My social ineptitude was showing because I didn’t know that this post would upset so many people. I know now that it’s upsetting to many of you, though I’m not sure I understand why. I’ve seen so many people lie to each other about how they felt about others then hurt them, I never intended to hurt my father in the scheme I had. If my plan necessitated a “Ha-ha! Gotcha!” Moment or a piece of revenge, I’d never have considered it. To me, it meant he died happy and I got something out of it too. Definitely not selfless, definitely the most sleazy thing I’ve ever considered doing, but not something I thought would get me sent hate mail.
I will admit that I still don’t feel as guilty for having wanted to do this as many of you expect me to. I don’t understand why it makes me a terrible person. I thought feigning interests and making people like you was commonplace, even if I’ve never tried it. I feel guilty for considering lying, but I feel guilty for telling coworkers I have plans when they ask me to cover their shift. I understand death and him being my father adds another factor, but I don’t get how it turns it from unethical to “fuck you”. I wasn’t trying to screw him over and didn’t see that as a possibility.
Maybe it’s because I never got to have the cliche father/daughter relationship. I think all of you are reading this as a person trying to do this to their dad, not the sort of relationship I have with him. I found that most people who said they have a parent with NPD were rooting for me.
I have confirmation that he is not senile. My father is 50 with no known history of dementia in the family. I spoke to him a year ago last time he disowned me and he was fine mentally, save for having suddenly decided that he hated me.
“He’s gone batshit” just means his drunken antics have increased. He isn’t doing anything to make me think he’s gone insane so much as he’s pissed at the world and lashing out at everyone around him. I spoke to his girlfriend and she confirmed he’s coherent, just drunk and acting the way he does when he’s drunk and has no one else to attack. If I thought for a second he was senile I’d have taken much more issue with lying to him.
That said, many of you were asking why I wanted the houses if there was so much baggage with my dad. I will be honest and say that I struggle with adult life despite doing well at school. I’m 22 and I don’t have many of the skills I should at my age. I don’t have a credit score and every attempt to get one has been thwarted. I don’t see myself ever being successful enough at life to get a house of my own unless I got lucky. I saw this as my only chance to own a home, even if I sold the mortgaged one and bought a smaller home elsewhere. It would be difficult to figure out but I have a relative who does real estate who could’ve helped me. Maybe I’d have had to live with it the rest of my life, but I might be living a much better life if I had.
TLDR; I was asking how to get my father (who disowned me because of his NPD) to like me again so I had a chance of getting an inheritance. I have decided not to contact him due in part to my belief that I don’t have the social skills to do such a thing and because I didn’t understand the social implications of posting this.
FINAL UPDATE: thank you to everyone who was understanding.
It’s come out that my father was lying. He told everyone he had 10% liver function remaining. He’s admitted to his girlfriend that he’s down 10% with 90% remaining, not down 90 with 10% remaining. | ULPT request: my abusive alcoholic father may be dying in six months, how can I rekindle a relationship with him and inherit his house? | hplk3k | [

1,610 | iob200_g4es2e3 | null | g4es2e3 | So basically the title. I’m a 14F but when this was happening i was 12-13. Basically this guy was sexually assaulting me, asking me for nudes, harassing me, threatening to kill me and held me up by my neck threatening to snap it. We go to the same school, are in the same year and same side of the school. My mum reported this to the police, which got the school involved. I ended up dropping the case because it was making me go crazy, but my school have done nothing. They left me in a class with him and said that they “couldn’t move us classes unless I had evidence”. This left me seething and he’s in my class again this year. They’re out right refusing to move him out my class, and if I move classes I get put in the other side of the school away from all the people who are there to protect me from him. I don’t understand how they can care so little about a student’s mental health but claim to be doing everything possible for their students. I feel completely abandoned by my school in this situation, and other situations.

Basically this guy was sexually assaulting me, asking me for nudes, harassing me, threatening to kill me and held me up by my neck threatening to snap it. We go to the same school, are in the same year and same side of the school. My mum reported this to the police, which got the school involved. I ended up dropping the case because it was making me go crazy, but my school have done nothing. They left me in a class with him and said that they “couldn’t move us classes unless I had evidence”. This left me seething and he’s in my class again this year. They’re out right refusing to move him out my class, and if I move classes I get put in the other side of the school away from all the people who are there to protect me from him.

Point is, without evidence of it happening there’s nothing you can do to him. The only option you really have to get away from him is to change classes yourself."

708 | 177t1si_k4v7ndh | null | k4v7ndh | I was friendly with my SA before the incident so I do have some information on them. I did file my police report 3 days after the incident and even that was handled so poorly. The last question asked to me by a OFFICER was "did you cum?" So needless to say, they're useless. He's done this to 3 other women (that I know of) but because he's moves after the incident and gets a new car I'm not sure how up-to-date my info is.
I know the morally right thing to do is to not let this incident take over my life, but I can't sit here and feel like he got away with his actions and could do it again. How do I make sure he never touches another woman like that again? | ULPT Request The police did nothing after filing a police report against my SA, what are my options? | 177t1si | [
