Hi, I've been in therapy for a bit trying to figure out why I'm repulsed by the naked human body. That's my own body and anyone else's body - I feel physical revulsion at nudity. Well, we figured out why and it's disgusting and just further proof of why I don't talk to my family. Read on!

I was born in '77, so the really formative years of my childhood were the mid to late 80s. My parents had my young - they were both in their early 20s and not totally ready for a kid. They did okay but there was a lot of consumerism in place of love in that family. They gave me really kick rear end birthday parties and went all out for Christmas, but never really knew how to talk to me as a person. This got worse as I got older, they were absolutely no help in coping with the regular teenage angst and drama.

Anyway, to the really hosed thing.

My parents were really big into parties with friends of theirs. None of their friends had kids, so they'd usually send me down to the basement to read books or watch TV or play with action figures while the party was going on. It wasn't the worst thing but it just added to my feelings of isolation. You can probably already guess where this is going, but I had repressed and forgotten all this poo poo.

My parents were swingers. Those parties were just massive orgies. Still working to remember and cope with everything, but now I'm dealing with poo poo like: sneaking up there and finding a mass of human flesh thriving around, seeing some dude walk around the house dripping with cum, and having to help my parents clean up "cinnamon icing" from the walls.

gross

yeahhhh can't really blame you for carrying some scars from that

quote:

In D&D's trump threads we talk about Hilary occasionally but I want to get something off my chest.

TL;DR version: gently caress you Cenk and gently caress your lovely Youtube channel The Young Turks.

I don't blame Hillary for most of her loss in the 2016 ellection. She's got 10% of the blame on that. The other 90% is that loving oval office who does The Young Turks on youtube Cenk. I loving hate him and his lack of Hillary support putting people oft is where I put all the blame. If I ever met Cenk I would punch him in his loving face if only for his additional denial of the massacare that his show uses the group involved's name for. I'm glad Trump won so I could bathe in Cenk's tears. gently caress you Cenk and gently caress your youtube channel that is basically Left wing Infowars.

lol

this is hilarious

I've heard people blame all kinds of poo poo for Clinton's loss other than Clinton; this is the first time I've heard anyone attach enough importance to the young loving turks to blame the election on them

You guys who got beat up in High School are stupid. There's an easy solution.

Most people aren't thugs, most people are just in school to graduate and leave. Thugs are a minority, they're just loud and dangerous. Just form your own group. You don't have to constantly prowl the halls together, just make sure everyone knows people have your back. I was pretty nerdy but I got in real quick with the jocks and popular kids, because I could help them with their remedial math and english classes and they'd have my back no problem. There was some kid from a lovely family whose mom died and dad was an alcoholic, and him and a few other kids used to pick on me. They came after me outside of a coffee house in my town, and out of nowhere a truck full of upper classmen swooped in and beat their asses.

Just learn how to make friends you unsocialized goons.

Hey you know, maybe I was doing one of those observer bias things. When I first moved into a low income, primarily hispanic neighborhood, I got jumped. I blocked a few times, refused to throw a punch (because I knew I would get my skinny rear end beat), then cracked a couple jokes and next thing you know I made a bunch of new friends. Then when I went to visit my dad in an extremely poor, extremely black neighborhood I got jumped, they tried to put me in a Boston Crab, which I'm not even sure is a move that actually works irl, and I twisted out of it so many times they just gave up, and I made a bunch of new friends. But I can understand that this may not be indicative of the average experience. Maybe "I didn't get beat up," is not the best hill to angrily die on

My wife and I are beginning to disagree on raising our child and I'm not sure how to handle this. I think the issue is how our own childhoods differed. I was bullied a lot in school, had issues getting good grades, and barely made it out of high school alive. While my wife was definitely part of the "cool kids" and had a much easier life.
I want to home school our son for that reason - to spare him the pain and suffering I endured. My wife counters and says that school is an important part of growing up. I see her point, but she's viewing it from the perspective of a beautiful woman. Our son is already really awkward, bookish, and not athletically gifted at all. He's also kind of annoying and a huge momma's boy - he barely ever wants to spend time with me. He will not survive high school - either he'll be bullied beyond belief, or be beat up by some thugs looking to make an example out of whitey, or he'll be friendzoned by every single cheerleader and end up a bitter virgin. I should know, all 3 of those things happened to me.


Is it just me or is this the typical "history repeating itself" story - Dad getting bullied and then bullying his own kid without realising it?
If you talk about your son like that, even openly saying that he prefers his mom, than you might have to rething your approach in parenting. I say this out of own experience: You don't make your son a hardass by being a dick to him, it only drives him away from you and undermines his self-confidence.

If this isn't all fake, anyway.

They made home use pressure fryers specifically for this.

You only put oil in the bottom 1/3 so even if the oil foams or spashes it's relatively safe so long as the chicken isn't frozen.

I don't know that they were ever super popular but people who own them swear by them. They sell for ~$50 shipped on ebay with mint examples going for up to $150.

At current KFC prices that's like 2 buckets worth.

If my dad was an insecure awkward weirdo afraid of highschool and trying to home school me, I'd also prefer spending time with my mum.

Homeschooling is NEVER a good idea. Not even if you are a certified teacher. Let your kid out into the world to have his own experiences, also nerd is the new cool, so unlike you, he may actually be fine.

Homeschooling is bad, it socially isolates kids.

If you are the only adult in your child's life you are guaranteed to gently caress them up. They will either worship you and become you - (but they won't have your strengths, so they'll be mediocre at things they weirdly insist on doing, and they think all your weaknesses are strengths, so they are *extra bad*at stuff you're bad at, especially wrt social adaption) or they'll hate you and resent you.

Either way they're gonna be socially retarded, and probably unable to relate to peers or form normal friendships (people form homeschooling groups to avoid this;they don't work)

Pretty much the only people who *benefit* from it are special needs kids (but if you're a checked out parent just send them to school) it's a LOT of loving work.

Even "normal" homeschooling parents (non religious, non ideological) check out after a couple years and do the bare minimum but refuse to acknowledge they're loving up their kids.

Most parents who homeschool are abusive and have some kind of personality disorder (the one where you have little empathy) and actually strive to raise clones of themselves.

It's sometimes used as a cover for pedophiles and cults. Almost all homeschool orgs fit the cult profile. HSLDA especially is horrific.

I am *heavily* condensing a lot of information that is commonly available with a few quick googles; would you want to be imprisoned with someone who decided they're the one in a million exception?

Another big problem is that a lot of parents who homeschool (not all, but quite a few) are hyper-religious whackjobs who are deliberately isolating their children from society. They're the same people who forbid television and the internet because of "Zionist brainwashing" or some other bullshit. So, not only are the kids socially stunted, but they have a horrible warped worldview.

So, even if you're a sane parent who homeschools with the best of intentions, the college admissions office will see 'homeschool' on Braiden's application and nope the gently caress out.

:agreed: teaching children is best left to the professionals and the majority of people who want to homeschool their kids have bad reasons for it and aren't qualified either

My wife's cousin married an ancap and is now a teabagger, and they have an adorable smart daughter who is now 4 and we're seriously worried they're going to homeschool her. Mom hated public school and did not finish college; dad was homeschooled and took like 7 years to finish college. My wife has tried gently suggesting they find a Catholic school or something to put her in instead because that way at least she's being taught by teachers in subjects that aren't "why immigrants are bad", but she has had limited success

quote:

I keep having bizarre dreams that are showcasing fake future events with family, friends, partners, and even world events. Like I dreamed my mother posted some whiny message on Facebook about how she was suspected for the murder of my younger brother and was being held in jail without bail, which is dumb because I'm not friends with her on Facebook so I wouldn't see that message. Imagine that caliber of stupid boring dream and subsequent realization happening all the time, sometimes multiple times a night.

So when I wake up, I realize 'oh it was a dream, phew', but I can't help but compulsively check 'just to make sure'. Before all it took was a quick check on google, or texting a friend going 'hey sup', but lately the dreams have been getting more complicated and less able to instantly disprove. And even though none of these dreams have come true or are ever going to come true, I get really paranoid and antsy if I can't instantly disprove it, to the point it's actually loving up my relationship and work.

Added twist: this poo poo started happening after I got a minor concussion, and I'm not sure if paranoid dreams or whatever are a side-effect of that? It honestly feels like OCD or something, but I can't afford to miss more work if it's serious so I'll just write an anonymous confession and hope that solves everything.

Yeah sorry to break this to you but I think you should talk to a doctor if you're seriously worried and there's a chance it's connected to a head injury. You can schedule whatever you need for your days off because it doesn't seem like this is immediately life-threatening, and honestly if it IS urgent enough that you need to miss work to get it dealt with then you'd better get it dealt with.

quote:

I live in a house my family inherited from my great-aunt by myself, rent free. In exchange I have to keep it clean and maintain the yard, that kind of stuff. I graduated from college 2 years ago and haven't been able to find a job.

The truth is that I haven't really been looking. I like life as it is with no responsibilities. I got my parents to loan me about 60,000 dollars over the past couple years for day to day expenses until I find work. That money is all gone and went almost entirely to alcohol and drugs. I need to ask them again but I think they are starting to catch on that something is up. I briefly thought about trying to get into drug dealing, but my house is in a rural area so I'd have to travel to the nearest city to even have a market to sell to. Besides, I don't have the money anymore to start it.

I'm getting kind of desperate and have no idea how my parents are going to react. Are they going to kick me out on the streets? Take me to court? Even if I got a job now they would find out sooner or later how badly I managed their money.

If it wasn't for the part about only briefly thinking about trying to get into drug dealing, I'd suspect this was a Breaking Bad reference, since it otherwise lines up with Jesse Pinkman pretty perfectly.

Anyway, getting into drug dealing didn't work out very well for Jesse on the whole so I'd suggest you try and find a job. You've sown your wild oats, whatever, gotta grow up sometime.

I find it hard to believe someone could blow 30 grand a year or whatever it was on mostly drugs and alcohol unless you're buying only the highest quality stuff. I guess it could be goony hyperbole but still, even at my worst I was spending like 100 dollars a week on mediocre alcohol and that was much more than enough for one person.

Anyway yeah get a job, your parents are much more likely to forgive you if you fess up and are on the way to making it right rather than keep trying to hide it.

re: Homeschooling Chat, I had a huge athsma attack around 5th grade that wound up with me missing half a year's worth of school. That summer I was homeschooled to make up for it, and although my mom meant well, I learned basically gently caress-all during that time. I know Public School isn't the greatest, but it's miles better than a parent with no idea what the gently caress they're doing.

Well sure but the way they talk rang more like a "drinking at home in their lonely rural cottage every night" thing than a club type. They even went out of their way to mention they don't live very close to a city so I doubt there is much in the way of nightlife there.
