Sounds like having an addict sister who deliberately ruined important life moments caused the other sister to just break.

Also, how does a 15 year old get addicted to opioids? I know the US has the whole opioid crisis thing, but can a child get access to them without a parent's and doctor's consent?.

Also, I'm wondering why Kasey didn't get to go to college? Was it because of her addict sister?

Basically, what I'm asking is whether the parents had a golden child, got her addicted to drugs because they couldn't bear to see her in 'pain' and ignored every time she literally vomited all over her sister's life.

Definitely reads like the parents enabled the addict sister at the very least & neglected the older sister's needs. They literally knew the older one would be pissed after so many years of mistreatment but chose not to address it other than "let's exclude her so she won't cause issues". Parents are absolutely the assholes here for letting it go that far, you can tell with the sparse details they're leaving a LOT out.

Sorry but it's insane to do that!! It's insane to pretend to be happy sharing a life with another person and it's insane to basically sabotage both your lives!! They could have split up and both moved on and created genuinely happy lives during the EIGHTEEN YEARS of lying but this guy prevented the both of them from doing that!

I loving hate cheaters, but you break up with the cheater and move on, you don't martyr yourself in this bizarre way. It's not healthy!

He never prevented her from walking away from the situation after the affair either. She had as much choice in the situation as he did: she could split with him & be a single mom, or hope that he stuck around to father a kid that isn't his (while she's still banging her affair partner behind his back). Regardless of how it's painted, she had every opportunity to ask, clarify & understand he was being serious; sounds like she didn't do any of that & just assumed he "forgave" her even after he told her his plan.

They both suck, but the one continuing the affair & acting like her partner's future plan was a joke is the bigger rear end in a top hat IMHO.

I know a guy irl who is sort of the opposite of Mike the Chess prodigy from a few pages ago.

He was a very talented chess player as a kid and his parents were supportive and encouraging. With their help he became a grand master but he just wasn't quite good enough to be one of the top players who win the big tournaments etc. Now he is middle aged dude with zero skills apart from chess and he is barely scraping by on the money he gets for coaching kids. He resents his parents for letting him go all in on this game and he doesn't even like chess anymore lol.

Sounds like a personal problem of "building a personality around one single aspect of your life". Not saying his parents aren't partly at fault but resenting them for him putting 100% focus into chess & nothing else is pretty dumb.

The fact that the ex discovered she was pregnant while OP was dating her bf is a little weird to me. Generally people find out they're pregnant within a month or two, so OP's bf was sleeping with his ex as recently as eight weeks ago. That's...a pretty short timeline for a serious relationship to begin with someone else.

It's unclear if the boyfriend was cheating on her with his ex and got the ex pregnant or if their relationship started after he stopped seeing the ex. Either way, the timing is messy. I would be pretty upset if the guy I just started dating was like "ope my ex just found out she's pregnant, gotta go be a dad".

Although, if you just started seeing a guy and he announced that, that's a bullet dodged. Just break up, he's got other things to worry about right now, and your relationship isn't far enough along to commit to co-parenting.

Yeah that's what got me...regardless of how "caring" he is, he flipped on a dime for his ex & decided to keep a kid when he supposedly didn't want any. That's a BIG decision & OP probably thought he'd either give up his rights or suggest terminating/aborting. When that didn't happen, she was understandably upset at him choosing his ex & future child (again, that he claimed to never want from the start) over her & their life.

He was more excited about the prospect of having a kid with his ex than he was about how his current partner felt, that's pretty hosed up if you ask me. Even funnier that he's trying to throw the whole "I checked on you & you weren't honest" line out there, considering he wasn't honest with her about kids from the start. He obviously was on the fence & rather than admit that, he threw it all on her for not being supportive of his complete 180. Betting he wasn't over the ex at all if he's willing to drop his new girl over his own mistake & then try to act like she was the bigger problem.

From a few pages back, and I get the impression this whole post is exaggerated for dramatic effect, but the idea of even waiting two weeks to change bedsheets kind of grosses me out. Personally I've got to wash my sheets and sleep on new ones at least twice a week, and if I were rich and could just buy unlimited, high threadcount cotton sheets I'd be changing those things every day.

I guess it's one of those weird hygienic things that different people have radically different tolerances for. I've always had issues with insomnia and have a princess-and-the-pea relationship with laying down and trying to sleep, whereas there are other things that I'm way less persnickety about, but hearing stories about people's gross unwashed sheets always gets me.

From a bit back but I'm the same way - change sheets once a week pillowcases every other day. I've lived with & known a few disgusting people & it only takes seeing, smelling, or experiencing that kind of filth to be like "yeah, that's NOT normal". Some people were outwardly normal, would wash their clothes & shower daily, but something about changing their sheets/blankets more than once a month was a foreign concept.

I'm on the side of OP for many reasons, including her bridezilla sister already making her pay for a bridesmaid dress. No doubt she'd have told OP to pay herself to have the hair redone & tattoos covered up, which is extra expense. Her additional comments shed some light about how sister had mostly asked friends to be in the bridal party but OP felt like she was only asked to keep the peace with family (guessing OP & sister haven't been on good terms for a while). Plus assholes that can't afford their own weddings without guests or members paying for it can eat poo poo & I hope the wedding industry implodes just like their little sham ceremonies.

Mom here is both stupid AND an rear end in a top hat. Why even bring this up? He wasn't going anyway, so just don't say anything about not going.

Completely avoidable, but she just HAD to get that dig in.

Disagree mainly because:

quote:

He did not care and kept talking about stupid it was. I still wanted to go see him inducted at the ceremony, he threw a fit about how it was boring and like a punishment. I told him it's just an hour and I'd reward him later by taking him out to his favorite restaurant. He still kept bashing it and at one point made me upset by saying he would intentionally lower his grades this semester so he wouldn't qualify. After seeing how upset that made me he said he wasn't serious but it still kind of put a damper on the whole thing.

quote:

Now honestly I probably wouldn't have cared if he had just worn the shirt to the ceremony to start since I doubt the school would've denied him entry and frankly I've liked Nirvana since before he was born, but his general attitude just kind of ruined the thing for me and left a bad taste in my mouth. I still fulfilled my promise and took him out, but decided not to discuss the honor society at all once he replied at first about how stupid it was.

She takes the hint that her kid hates/hated the ceremony, doesn't bring it up & still takes him out to dinner after. Understandably disappointed in the kid, but nothing major.

quote:

Well he told me he's on track to make it again this semester. I told him fine, whatever, I'm not attending the ceremony if he does. He told me he doesn't want to attend it anyway, but why wouldn't I? I explained to him how his behavior and attitude the last time completely ruined it and I don't want to go through with that again. It's entirely his choice to attend the ceremony or not, but either way I won't be going. And even that got him kind of upset. He told me that if he chooses to attend parents should go too, he was just angry at being kind of forced to go. He also asked if this applies to future years. I told him simply I'm never attending an honor society ceremony for him again.

So why's the kid so mad about his mom not going to a ceremony he clearly hates & won't be attending anyways? Stupid teen poo poo yes, but he has no grounds to get mad when (A) they're not forcing him this time due to the previous event & (B) he didn't want to go anyways. Closest I can vote is ESH but only because mom said she'd never go to ANY future events; even then she sounds pretty justified with a bratty kid. I'm guessing he thought he'd get "rewarded" again if he agreed to go, but now that mom & dad bowed out, he won't get the chance to "be rebellious" & get a free dinner for it.
