What is your deepest, darkest/embarrassing secret?
I had a dream several months ago about my brother who had committed suicide. He spent about half my childhood severely physically abusing me and my mother would take his side, even when he would strangle me, threaten to kill me, and give me black eyes. She would blame me. I was a girl and it started when I was 12 and he was 19, already grown.
He killed himself in 2018. In the dream, he held my face and shouted, "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" I'll never tell anyone in my family. Everyone mourns him, even I do. He was severely mentally ill and no one got him the help he needed. When he would beat me, my mother would call the cops, tell them I was suicidal, and they would take *me* away in handcuffs. I was always blamed.
Horrifically, the only person to pull him off of me when he was beating me was my other brother, but this other brother was molesting me. The abuse only fully stopped when I got a boyfriend at 17, who I'm still with at 26.
So those are my secrets. My abuser haunts my dreams telling me he hates me.
I'm so sorry. I wish I had better words to bring you comfort. I hope you know that absolutely none of this was ever your fault, despite your family trying to blame you.
Wow. I tell you, this is not what I was expecting.
Can I ask you something?
I still love him. There were times in our lives he wasn't that way, especially when we were younger. He was the oldest as well and there's some sort of weird respect there that probably shouldn't be.
But I do still love my brother. I even have empathy for my foster brother who molested me. He spent his entire life in the system where he was abused himself. Rather I *should* or *shouldn't* I do.
(with the exception of my address, social security/debit card number & where I keep my money) I haven't kept a secret, I'm an open book. If someone ever asked something about me I told them about it.
im waitin for a flight
i drank a double vodka bloody mary at the bar by the gate
planes a bit late so i might go get another
why dont foreign airports have proper bars with bartenders and drink & food menus and such?
its always food court shit with single beers available and i gotta bus my lunch tray like its junior high
I get girlfriends that i hate and i can't admit it. And then i can't break up with them, they have to break up with me. It's a pain in the ass.
But, I've been single for 2 years and a half years now :D And i havent had sex in 3 years and a half because i dont want to end up having another shitty girlfriend that i hate because i can't say no.
(Yes in the last year of my last relationship i wasnt having sex).
I really hate women. My mother abused me. Well both my parents did. I think it has something to do with my secret.
What's your deepest darkest secret?
There are several suicidal people in my life who are mooching assholes that abuse everyone around them, yet expect those same people they hurt to help them. All they do is take and take, and give nothing back. I really wish they'd actually kill themselves. Truth is everyone's lives would be easier if they just died. XD
Did you write the post about the 28 year-old woman unable to work but refusing to do housework either and expecting to essentially live as a school-free child indefinitely?
Yes. That's my boyfriend's sister. She's got a guy that she just moved to Florida with. I really hope this one lasts for her because she's going to have a really hard time in life when her enabling parents die. My boyfriend and I are saving money to eventually leave NY when the time comes. I don't see her as being part of that equation.
I don’t blame you, why would you want a 29+ year-old child freeloading off you? Hopefully her and Florida man will live the dream together (until he turns up in an unfortunate new article).
That reminds me of an old roommate of mine. "Disabled" and lost all five of her kids because she was so lazy. 300lbs, in her 40s, never worked, rarely bathed, and had an open relationship yet all the men she dated seemed to have some sort of mental delay. I think she wanted to have control over people.
She essentially had me move in to be her maid and I was finally able to move out in 2020. Ironically, I caregive for her father who is a lot kinder and I actually enjoy working for him.
I'm sorry you have people like that in your life.
I unfortunately know of the type you're talking about, only the ones I know typically only bring up suicide when they're trying to manipulate others. It often works, and it's really unfortunate. If they really are indeed suicidal, I think a lot of it either has to do with the way they live their lives, some sort of deep-rooted mental illness, or both. It's sad, but nobody should be expected to light themselves on fire to keep someone else warm, especially if that person is harmful to them.
If they hate themselves that much yes they're gonna hurt other people around them. Unless people around them really try to help them out they're gonna continue to hurt the people around them
I definitely either just developed Lactose Intolerance out of nowhere or I suddenly have IBS.
Cause ain’t no way this is how it’s supposed to be
Also I regret about 50% of my tattoos
Also, check out nightshades, like white potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes. Those cause people quite a bit of issues too. Digestive issues can become serious and make you feel like real garbage so try to figure it out as soon as you can.
My body rejects any kind of modification, so I guess I'm lucky in a way. My sister's dad is a tattoo artist and I would have had so many by now I would have regretted lol.
I'm even going to have to wear clip ons at my wedding :P
