My oldest son (31) has a terrible temper and is prone to angry outbursts. Once again, he overreacted this time at his girlfriends 7 year old son (who has been acting out). My DIL has severe mental health/addiction issues. Last year, she had cirrhosis, and my son had temporary custody. When my 4 year old grandson was a newborn, her mom had her committed for suicide ideation. CPS has been called numerous times. I want to be a support for them and encourage them to do better because nothing else is/has worked. But for ****s sake! Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk ..read more

Still heartbroken over neighbor guy that I've previously posted about. It's gone on two months since we've last communicated. Today my heartbreak reached a new level when while I was waiting on my mother to return from a doctor's appointment, I saw him leave for work. Then shortly after he left, (a woman who I suspect lives with him) ...came out of the house as if to look for him...by then he wasn't in the area anymore and she went back inside.. Shortly after, he came back home ..(.perhaps he had forgotten something) and then left again. I suspect that she had called him and told him... At ..read more

(This might be long) I've met a new neighbor who has been trying to become my friend. She's 59, recently divorced, and drinks/goes out quite frequently. She asked me 3 separate times if I like country music. On the third time, I got a little aggravated and said, "You've already asked me this, and I've already told you. No." She also said I need to go to the parties at the doctor's house that she knows. She said I need to bring my bikini because they do titty shots. I said OMG!! I'm not 20 anymore!!! I met her friend L, and she and I have connected better. L and I were out one night early. Nei ..read more

My 20 yo sister left high school 2 years ago, with an incomplete diploma. She preferred to procrastinate and be on tiktok rather than studying and attending class. Both extended and close family members pleaded with her to take her studies seriously, but it just got worse. Nowadays, she just lays in bed, scrolls on tiktok all day, with zero personal hygiene. She still lives at home, and her room is in a horrible state, we even found maggots in the room because she leaves food/dirty dishes on the floor. Everyone encouraged her to get a summer job, while in her teens and she refused, she still ..read more

As the title says, I feel like a terrible friend and am wracked with guilt. Please hear me out before judging though, and please be kind… A friend of mine whom I have known since we were 16 (we are both 32 now) is in a relationship where she is being treated poorly. She has been with him for approx 2.5 years, almost 3 if I am correct? This is not including the breakup they had at one point. The man in question is a year older than her I think? I’ve never actually met him, as I no longer live in the same country as my friend (my home country - England). We keep in touch via calls and Facebook ..read more

I'm curious to get people's opinions on the following. I sit at a computer all day and have a cell phone. I'm a big communications guy. I text people and they have issues getting back to me. Recently my cousin contacted me and he since has deleted the app he used, and didn't think about our recent conversation where he reached out due to some stress in his life. My best bud has severe issues with scheduling and texting back. I've asked him why and he just jokes about all that, and says I'm the only one he has this issue with, so it's my creation somehow. However I've sat amongst other friends ..read more

It's been 3 weeks since a person that I thought really cared and loved me "ghosted" me. It still hurts everyday...It doesn't help any that we live in close proximity to one another. It doesn't help that unless one of us passes or moves...we'll have to see and randomly bump into one another for the remainder of our lives. No matter how many times I try to move on and think I'm making slight progress...All the emotions and hurt come flooding back... I can't even enjoy looking out of my window as I often did to relax...because most of the time I do, I see him either coming or going. My anxie ..read more
