    22 years clean from being a meth addict.
    18 years with my spouse
    ( but going through a slow breakup/divorce/maybe I think there’s a chance….. oh fuck yeah nah there’s not/separation, co-parenting flatmates thing over the past year)

    And last night when mentioning that I’d like to get a referral from the GP for our 13M son to see a child Psychologist for an ADHD assessment (which we had agreed to do 3-4 months ago after his last parent teacher interview) she kind of passionately disagreed and said “what’s the point” as she doesn’t believe in medication and “will not alow him to take medication for it if he is diagnosed” i said “let’s see what a Dr thinks”
    & she got pretty angry then and was yelling and said
    “so you’d let him take medication for it? We no, in that case no, you’ve lost that argument” I didn’t think it was an argument till that point!!

    so I kind of went quiet in the face of the sudden yelling and said “I just think we should see what a medical professional thinks and getting a GP referral to a Psyc is only step 1” and she walked out….. then instantly walked back and said:

    “You only want him diagnosed so you can take his medication for speed isn’t that right? Is that it?”

    22 years sober, never used amphetamines since 3 years before I even met her. Raised 5 kids, etc etc and she basically says u want to use your son so u can steal his medication to get high. Like zero to 100,000 straight out of the blue. Called me a junkie cause I think the kid might have ADHD, like his eldest (now adult) sister (recently diagnosed)

    So that kinda hurt……….

(extra)A few months later I met up with this girl, and we got into a relationship, we got together a day before my birthday, and on the day of my birthday I found her twitter (x) and saw she reposted something along the lines of “I drink red bull because if I wanted a White Monster i would call my ex” . Both hit hard

    She said she loved the potential of who I could be and never loved me for who I was. One of my biggest insecurities was never feeling good enough for someone else.

    “When I saw you I thought you were pregnant.” -an old coworker. I’m a little overweight but I by no means have a gut…

    Also the classic “you would be pretty if you were thinner.”

    Grew up in a toxic asian environment where I had eating disorders starting from age ~11, and even at my thinnest when I weighed less than 100 lbs I was still “too fat.” So any comments about my appearance hurts, especially when I finally have a healthy relationship with food after having eating disorders and starving myself for over 10 years.
    I have never been one to care about others appearances – I value a persons morals, integrity, kindness, and intelligence. I’ve found that people who obsess over how others look and judge others on their appearance are poorly lacking in all of those traits which is really sad.

    Many years ago I was engaged to a woman for a while; she was insistent that we have kids even though we were fighting a lot. All I ever wanted was to be a dad, but I suggested that we get some couples therapy so we could love each other better and find our peace together. I really didn’t want to bring kids into a house where mum and dad were fighting all the time.

    We were talking about it one night, she just looked at me cold as ice and said “it doesn’t make any fucking difference, you’re nothing but a sperm donor to me anyway.”

    Unsurprisingly, we broke up shortly after that.

    I never did get to be a dad.

    Me telling my Mum we are expecting. Makes a face and goes “Finances are so tight, I wish you hadnt done this now”
    (for context, Dad was terminally ill, and I was taking care of it all. My wife and I were mid manager level at that time. And my mum never worked after marriage).

    After years (literally my entire life) of holding everybody’s shit together, taking care of parents and family, a succesful career, a loving marriage and a lovely kid, and taking care of her needs for years, including several medical procedures amd surgeries, I had to hear “You are not the son I had hoped you’d be” from…drumroll…yes, once again…my mum.

I guess I really am healing and moving on from my past, with genuinely good people around me now. (And seeing firsthand how those evil people already suffered or are suffering the consequences of their own actions has also vindicated my belief that kindness > cruelty.)

    Thanks, OP, for asking this question and leading me to that truth.

    When I was a kid around 4 to 6 years old, our neighbors and even some of my relatives kept on telling me “you are just an adopted kid” or “you’re an outsider, you don’t belong where you are”.

    Nobody told me the truth until I was 7. Growing up, my relatives (aunt, uncles, cousins and even my adoptive siblings) make sure that I will never forget that fact because they always say it even when there are other people around.

    I was just listening attentively during class in 5th grade when my teacher suddenly asked one of my classmates to use a conjunction in a sentence. In a panicked manner—clearly unprepared—she blurted out, “[insert my name] is ugly, BUT she is smart.”

    Everyone laughed, and I could see the shock on my teacher’s face. My teacher told the class that it wasn’t a nice thing to say. I just smiled through the pain.

    I wanted to cry so badly because I had actually been smiling at her to help boost her confidence to speak. But hearing her answer made me extremely sad. I kept smiling throughout the class to show that it didn’t affect me.

    After class, she quickly apologized and said she was really sorry. For years up until now, I believe that she didn’t mean to offend me (or i made myself believe that she didnt)—I think she was just stating what she believed was a fact. And somehow, that “fact” has stuck with me ever since.

The gaslighting is so cruel.

    After having decided she didn’t want to look after her son herself my stepsons mother basically didn’t see him for about a year while he lived with me and his dad. During that time I was the person dealing with the school and trying to be a good mother to him seeing as his own mother couldn’t be bothered. She got all annoyed because she didn’t want me to be involved (yet her son lived in my home) and said about me to my husband “she can’t have her own kids so she is trying to steal mine”.

    No, love, you couldn’t be arsed to be a decent parent and dumped your son after he took an overdose. All I wanted to do was make sure he was loved and safe.

Being a daddy’s girl (and the favorite bc I did everything they’ve asked me w/ emotionally manipulating me) all my life just to hear that he (and my mom) don’t believe in my dance career just because I moved across the country to the Midwest. “You’ve been training all you life just to throw our money away.” Like WHAT?? I’m currently trying out for a professional dance academy to be a prima ballerina. WHAT DO YOU MEANNN?!? Their guilt trip is crazy! It’s been ongoing for a little over a year now and I’m mentally exhausted…

    I had a friend of 22 years treat me like I was breaking up with a high school crush when I was going through my divorce.
    I was :this: close to the edge, and she went on a beach getaway with MY cousins when I needed support.
    The same weekend I moved out of the family home, she had Easter lunch, again with the same cousins. I wasnt even invited.
    The same friend I drove over an hour to be on suicide watch for. I missed an important exam, booked her into a clinic, created a support network of all her people (we didn’t live in the same city) for meal and watch rotation for the next month.
    She couldn’t even be fucked to send me a message when I was crumbling.
    She also repeatedly dismissed my concerns that I voiced to her, like I was able to figure it all out and shouldn’t keep discussing the same thing over and over again as it was quite boring to her, to hear me bring things up more than once.
    I met up with her after the weekend she had spent with my cousins. I told her how hurt I was at her seemingly selfish behavior.
    She looked me in the eyes and said (verbatim): :I have done nothing wrong and will not apologize.”

    My heart shattered and I blocked her on every possible platform. She now hangs out with my cousins and I no longer have any contact with that side of the family.

    Fun side note: I attended a wedding of a cousin from the same circle. The ‘friend’ was there. I purposefully did not interact with her (there were enough people that it wasn’t a glaring dismissal). I found out after the wedding that my dad started a rumor that I was taking drugs. I don’t speak to any of them anymore.
