Mine is “this too shall pass…”, and it helps me because I know with my experience in LIFE that it is possible to go through the pain and come out on the other side again.

“Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you’ll live…at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies, that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take OUR FREEDOM!!

With a dad like that, I see why Lizzie thinks there's nothing wrong with cheating. Hope OP was able to continue the "no Senior trip for you" punishment.

Dad Sides With 17YO Daughter Grounded By Mom For Cheating On BF, She Reminds Him Of Own Adultery

I didn't say to tell the school about it, they wouldn't care, I said to tell everyone at her school, as in her friends. They would care, especially any boys who want to date her, they'll learn to avoid the skank. OP doesn't need to stay out of this when her daughter is acting contrary to how her mother raised her while living under her roof (also the kid doing the same thing that broke her mothers heart, she'd have been there and seen it all during the marriage breakdown, but is fine doing this to someone else? No deal). Kid can move out and be a tramp elsewhere.

Teen’s Smirk After Destroying Heirloom Ends 6-Month Relationship, Realizes Her Mistake Too Late

In my home country (Scotland) you're legally an adult at 16 and responsible for your actions. Yes, she needs a punch, 16 is not a child.

In-Laws Insult Woman, Refuse To Leave Her Home, She Ends Up Calling Police To Kick Them Out

Restraining order on MIL and FIL. Hubby is just gonna have to get on board with the fact his parents are insane and cannot be let near the family again. If he's not on board, he cares more about them than his own wife and daughter, and it's time to dump him. This type of verbal abuse, crossing boundaries, disrespect, then attempting to squat in someone's home and police have to be called....can't let those people within 100ft of you, and nowhere near the kid.

Dad Sides With 17YO Daughter Grounded By Mom For Cheating On BF, She Reminds Him Of Own Adultery

Full agreement with OP, if the daughter wants to be a tramp and was raised better, then she can move out and go be a tramp elsewhere. Then I'd tell Jacob my daughter is cheating on him, then would tell everyone at her school that she's a cheater. Not enough people being reprimanded for being di*ks like this, just gives them authority to do it repeatedly to others and become awful human beings. OP is attempting to raise her kid right and not limp-wristed like most.

Woman Walks Out Of Home After “Professional Victim” Husband Brings Her To Her Knees

"I've been treated like c**p for 25yrs by my spouse, now being treated like c**p by my kids who are starting to get physical/violent with me. I acknowledge this relationship has brought me to my wits end, i'm so unhappy that I had to walk out of our home. Husband shows no interest in me (in fact he seems to despise me as well as using me as a 2nd mother) and actively causes huge problems for my life and how the kids are functioning. Should I stay?". Can someone smack her please? She's become a professional victim like her husband.

Daaaaamn that's a good one, never heard that, totally stealing it.

Teen’s Smirk After Destroying Heirloom Ends 6-Month Relationship, Realizes Her Mistake Too Late

Kid's just an a-hole who wants to drive every woman away from daddy so she can have him all to herself. She needed physical reprimanding as she was being raised, giving her this much leeway has turned her into a little c*nt who severely needs punched. I'd file a restraining order on her for extra effect for coming to my workplace. Little psycho. Her father also needs a punch for being a piece of sh*t of a parent and partner. OP's better off not knowing them. Good on Jane the new GF for being as much of a b*tch back to the kid, that's what the kid needs, put in her damn place.

“I Was Lied to From the Beginning”: Bride Falls For Elaborate Scam After Marrying Influencer

Imagine being stupid enough to sign your name on a document you haven't even read? I don't put my actual signature on anything I haven't read and understand. If I was sitting there during the fake ceremony, I would've used a fake signature on the document, not my real one, negating the whole thing as valid. This should be done in EVERY instance someone wants you to put your signature down on something. Do you sign the restaurant receipt without checking the total first? Do you think celebs are signing autographs with their REAL signature? Half of this was a terrible scam, half of this was her own ignorance, stupidity and gullibility.

Always see men dumping their wives to run off with women that look like her. Is this what men want? Women to look like we're porn stars with lips that look like they got stuck in a pool drain? I find her uncomfortable to look at, bordering on nauseating from all the procedures she's had done. Is this what the men find sexy? A complete tart? Genuine question because as a bisexual woman i'm very confused. I couldn't go near a woman like this to ask her for a date.

Newborn's Resemblance To Mom Sparks Doubt In MIL And Husband's Mind, They Ask For Paternity Test

Relationship over. Don't care about mental issues or past partners cheating, you don't drag your baggage from prior relationships into your new one. MIL needs cut off completely for life, no recovering from that. I'd dump husband too because his mothers words still matter more than his wife's, no coming back from that, little mama's boy. If he could believe his wife cheated after 10yrs together just from something his mother mentioned, there's no true foundation of trust or relationship between OP and him. Also husband is stupid enough to believe mother's rantings about strong genes and baby looking too much like OP, then I'd dump the guy just for being that big of a moron - i wouldn't want that stupidity infecting my kid. Toss the family away and go it alone with the kid.

Nah, there's enough of them acting like entitled a-holes that it creates a whole stereotype for their age group, just like bit*hy Karens created a whole stereotype for their group. I live with a boomer, work for boomers, and they're all a gigantic entitled pain in the as* on a daily basis. Leave the term, they deserve it.
