I’m so sorry your husband has parents like that. I had a stack of letters too. My father turned down an offer from my top school while I was on a visit there, planning to sign on the dotted line. He met with the coach while I was hanging out with the athletes. My mother didn’t

Snap does not pay for diapers, toilet paper, soap. Only food. Also, prepared food (like a rotisserie chicken) is not eligible. This is always troubling to me for people who are homeless or don’t have a kitchen because they don’t always have a good way to prepare healthy food and

That's the least of what he did to my family, unfortunately. He's a dangerous person who belongs in prison, but who manages to skate through life without much trouble at all. I live with the consequences of his evil choices everyday of my life. But I'm no longer under his control

I have a common food allergy and I don’t even do this. I will literally just have water and watch everyone else eat if I can’t have anything. It amazes me that there are adults that expect others to cater to their every whim. And that people entertain it!

My grandparents gave my father money to pay for my college. He invested it in a piece of property and I was promised that the loans were temporary. My grandmother co-signed for them, she was also a victim. He ended up stealing the money. Ultimately bought a couple of boats and

With so many allergies, why is she ordering off the menu? She should ask to talk to the chef to see if she can be accommodated. Don’t put this on the poor waiter. I have only one food allergy, call ahead and/or talk to the chef often. This doesn’t seem real.

How does one become the object of fixation for an autistic billionaire? Asking for a friend.

How about someone give that TikTok lady who makes dinners from the dollar store a show? I’d would watch the heck out of that. And it helps people.

One of my boys asked what the Pope’s name was when he was a priest. I told him Father Bob. He thought I was kidding 😂

Sabotage. I was something to be controlled, an accessory he used to brag about himself and a thing to be used. I got brought to the top of ski mountains at 3 & 4 years old and left behind (literally left behind no one in sight, meet me at the bottom) so I'd figure it out. I was

My eldest got two cute toy ducks (the push toy kind that waddle) when he was a toddler. He immediately named them Peanut and Barbecue. It made me sad that they weren’t real. 😂
