Woman Grows Suspicious After Multiple Close Calls With Sister-In-Law That Seem Too Coincidental

Are you kidding me? I would grab her by the collar and tell this monster to back off or else. No one has stood up to her in the family obviously. Tell her that you have had enough of this behavior and that you'll be watching her very closely from now on and keep your cell phone on record when it's just the two of you. Little punk needs an adjustment.

Woman Refuses To Live In Husband’s Shadow, Chooses Her Hard-Earned Promotion Over His Tantrum

Really. If your husband truly loved you he would be your biggest supporter. Let him go, he's holding you back out of pure jealousy. Shame on his family too... you'd be sorry later in life if you did what he "wants".

Mom Turns Friend Group Into Her Daughter’s Personal Fan Club, Shocked When They Walk Away

So ridiculous when people put their kids on other adults when they get together. Emily pushed the boundaries and you were left with no choice. Move on and keep enjoying your outings without them. It's obvious that her daughter is in charge.

She was out of line and not a good friend. Move on and forget about it and your daughter doesn't need to know.

Emily is raising Milly to be a spoiled brat that can't ever handle being told NO.

Mom Turns Friend Group Into Her Daughter’s Personal Fan Club, Shocked When They Walk Away

I don't have children, I don't want children and I don't like children. But why are people saying you can't bring a child to a spa? A few weeks ago I spent some days atba spa with a friend, and on the last day her husband and 1,5 year old daughter joined us. No problem at all.

Dad And Daughter Refuse To Attend Family Trip Over One Person: "Really Need A Wake-Up Call"

Your family is choosing a bully over your daughter. Shame on them for not acknowledging and respecting how your daughter feels. You are making the right decision! Don't even feel bad about it and tell the family members to stop texting/calling you about it....

Woman Has Only One Job At Sister’s Gender Reveal, Fails It And Doesn’t Get What’s The Issue

That Mom is not being a Mom to the 13yo who's a big burden to society now. I don't understand why a parent refuses to discipline a kid and a 13 year old should know better. The nephew is going to be a criminal who's likely to cause problems in every social setting.. Idiot parenting.

Woman Grows Up As A Maid For Her Foster Parents, Refuses To Help Them When She’s Successful

Those foster parents should not be able to take on anymore kids. Call the office of child welfare and tell them about your treatment as a young child and what they're doing now. You owe these monsters NOTHING. Block their number, go to the local media and tell them what these people are. Do not look back, do not feel bad and move on to your own, well deserved, glorious life. They are the biggest AH's here.

Mom Is Appalled To Learn MIL Filled 8YO Son's Head With Hate Towards Adopted 5YO Sister

Honey, your MIL is a giant AH for what she did. Your husband is an AH for not standing up for your children or you. I feel sorry for you and truthfully your kids deserve a better environment than with these two toxic people. I wouldn't ever trust your MIL around your precious and innocent children because she is evil and has sinister intentions. The nerve of her actions. I'd like to get ahold of that woman and set her straight. Your husband is way too passive about this.

Disappointed Dad Refuses To Skip Another Of His Daughter’s Milestones After Son Relapses Once More

Your son is selfish and inconsiderate. He has a great family and he is throwing away his potential to be a self sufficient adult. Your daughter is the one suffering and one day she might move away and and never come back. Your wife needs to show tough love. She should have gone to the graduation and then go running to her son. I feel sorry for your daughter. Dad did the absolute right thing and shame on Mom. She's the AH. I had a family member with addiction issues.

Jake is a junkie. They are all selfish and untrustworthy. The mom is an enabler. She shouldn't have gone to see him and should actually be ashamed of herself for missing her daughters graduation. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm sure Jake will relapse again, so she can be with him next time. Dad should stand his ground.

Your wife forgets she has another child. And it might just be too late someday soon. You're NTA. You have done your very best. Your son is an adult and just might be manipulative and also jealous...

Nta. In fact, it might be good for son to know he can't always steal the spotlight.

Disappointed Dad Refuses To Skip Another Of His Daughter’s Milestones After Son Relapses Once More

I think if I was the daughter, I'd focus on going college and my relationship with my dad, and just write off mom and bro. In future I would no longer invite mom to any future milestone events, anticipating in advance that bro will once again have a very conveniently timed "relapse" and need to suck up all available attention for himself. I'd tell her, "since you obviously only care about one of your children, we can just quit pretending to have a relationship." I'd just avoid all "family" gatherings and only get together with my dad.

Do Jake's relapses occur when your daughter has an event important to her?

The addict is the a*****e here. Addiction by it's very nature is self centered and selfish. Anyone who has had to deal with an addict of d***s or alcohol will eventually learn this. Frankly Mom is also an a*****e for enabling the addict. He was in a treatment center, let them deal with his selfish actions. He's not going to actual achieve a state of recovery until he grows up and deals with the issues causing the addiction. Jumping to "help" every time is only enabling him, slowing his recovery, ruining her relationship with her daughter and apparently starting to ruin the relationship with her husband. The wife needs to get her head out of her a*s as much as the addict son.

Disappointed Dad Refuses To Skip Another Of His Daughter’s Milestones After Son Relapses Once More

NTA. Wtf are you teaching your daughter? That the best why to get your attention is to constantly get yourself in trouble and nearly kill yourself through poor behavior? Your son made his choices. Tragic, yes. But enabling him by constantly running to his "aid" because he keeps making bad decisions doesn't help him in any way. He needs to hit rock bottom and the only way to do that is ending up alone. Focus on making up for lost time with your daughter because if you keep going this route, she'll go NC with you. And rightfully so.
