Absurd Alhazred posted:I still don't understand how you can get those over the counter at pharmacies. I would have assumed they'd require a prescription, showing you're trying to quit cigarettes or something. Or at the very least require you to go to the pharmacy and have some oversight, like with loving pseudoephedrine. I mean they're less harmful then cigarettes, and you don't need a prescription for those so... pseudoephedrine is just behind the counter because it actually works, and is used to make drugs or something.

My (24F) father (46M) refuses to come to my wedding because it wont be on "American Soil" I'm really upset and my father thinks I'm being Overly sensitive.quote:Some background: My father is a bit of a nationalist.... hes a little much. I love my country but not like he does. We dont agree on much to be honest. My father wasnt around much until my teenage years. My parents separated when I was 6. How many times do you think he says the word "snowflakes" unironically on a daily basis?

"He then starts hooting and hollering that his daughter is going to be married on American soil, he refuses to get on that ship, and he's never leaving this country.

It's also not that interesting here, unless you like mountains and moose and maybe a few whales.

It's not leaving the country that's the issue, the father wants the ceremony to be held on American soil that people died face down in rice paddies during nam to defend, that makes the wedding more blessed

Barudak posted:Why is he even invited beyond “there is a seat for you to attend the wedding with the family you left us for” People raised by parents far less ultraconservative than this still have this dumb kneejerk thing about family actually mattering and being important no matter how toxic and godawful they are. I have no doubt that this idiot's child still considers the "tradition" so ingrained in her that she HAS to have him involved or it can't happen, like the people that need to pathologically seek out a parent's blessing to marry.

Wife [37f] and I [39m] have lost all of our children and our marriage is falling apart. How to stay united when dealing with grief? We had 3 children, who were 18f, 18m, and 15m. About a few months ago (the end of last year) , our daughter was lost in a car accident. Her loss had us all messed up, but especially her brothers. Her twin became isolated and would lay in bed for days without doing anything, didn't even come to the funeral because he couldn't go a minute without crying. Someone always stayed with them both, My wife or I. But one day I took the youngest to a therapist appointment while he and wife was still asleep. Apparently she thought I had taken both the boys so she left to run errands. When we came back home he was dead (I'm not going to get graphic with details or anything). This broke our youngest even more, who we admitted to a hospital because he was speaking of killing himself next. He was released eventually and we watched him like a hawk, and we'd all sleep in the same room so he wouldn't be out of our sight. But we failed. Last week, our youngest ended his life, leaving behind a note telling us the pain was too much and he can't handle his siblings being gone, how he doesn't want to grow up alone without them. We've blamed each other, ourselves, and have argued until we were blue in the face. There are times when we just sit on the floor and cry for as long as it comes out. Wife cannot function anymore, has quit work, and is prone to random emotional outbursts (throwing things, becoming violent). I'm not shaming or blaming her, to be clear. I feel her pain, and know exactly why she's acting like that. Our children were everything to us, our oldest two were ust starting their lives, and their brother was right behind them. Two of them committed suicide, and we couldn't stop them. It's pathetic, and our kids needed more. She won't go to any sort of counseling, and I honestly don't blame her. I don't know what we need right now, but as naive as it sounds I want us to still be together. To try to get through this somehow. We've lost our children, and the last thing we need is to lose each other. I don't exactly have a stable mind to figure out what I need to do, as a husband tl;dr: the death of our children has ruined my wife and I along with our mental states. Cooing is going horrible and counseling is unappealing in the moment. Not sure how to make this work and stay together. How I can be a good husband? uh, um, I–

ArbitraryC posted:lovely situation but honestly kinda weird they killed themselves. I wonder if something else was going wrong. I don’t know if it’s that weird. What’s the term when someone commits suicide and others follow suit? Not ‘copycat’ I don’t think, but the older brother was too overcome over losing his twin sister and committed suicide, the younger brother was grief stricken about losing both of his siblings and maybe felt it was easier/less painful to follow suit. Mental illness can run in families, and I don’t know if it’s true or just anecdotal, but some families seem to have a predisposition to suicidal ideation. Like Hemingway’s family line: his father committed suicide, he and two of his siblings committed suicide, his granddaughter committed suicide, as well as I think two other extended family members. There’s also the Von Erich family: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Erich_family Out of six brothers, one died in a freak childhood accident (electrocuted and drowned in a puddle) one died from enteritis or a drug overdose, and three committed suicide, with the third brother to do it claiming he ‘had’ to because his brothers were waiting for him; that he had to join them. The second oldest brother, Kevin, is the only one still alive. That story is just heartbreaking. All three kids.

People lose loved ones all the time and the entire family doesn't just kill themselves normally. It's a weird situation and it makes me wonder if there were either other external or internal factors.

ArbitraryC posted:It's a weird situation and it makes me wonder if there were either other external or internal factors. Im sorry to hear about your dad, AC. I’m guessing there were other contributing factors to the two suicides. The fact that they mention the twin brother was too grief stricken to get out of bed even to go to the funeral and the fact they were afraid to leave him alone in the house and accidentally did sounds like he might have had mental health stuff going on even prior to his twin dying.

Suicide family is depressing. I don't come here to be depressed - I come here to read about lovely people so I can distract myself from focusing on how lovely I actually am. So, with that said, lets post more stories with lovely people. Up next, a lovely nerd dad! My (36f) husband (35m) is blatantly disinterested in our kids (13f, 10f, 5f) unless they want to do something he's interested in, like video games, watching nerdy movies, etc. quote:I'm not on this website a lot, but a friend of mine told me that the user base of Reddit leans very far towards the "nerdy" so that you guys might have more ideas on how to work on this issue.

Happy Father's Day! Husband of 4 years wants to travel by himself to another country and leave me and my kids so he can have an “adventure of a lifetime” quote:My husband of just 4 years told me last night that he would really like to visit the Philippines by himself because he wants to have an “adventure of a lifetime.” He says this to me after these 3 major things have recently happened: 1. He asked me a few months ago if he can have sex with other women. He said that it’s good to ask instead of assume that I won’t be ok with it and because I got upset, he now knows that I won’t be ok with it. 2. I found a text exchange between him and this girl from the gym a few weeks ago. Yes, it was an innocent, non-sexual text but I’ve never even heard of this girl before. He then says that he has known her since high school and that there’s nothing wrong with the text. Plus, they just always see each other at the gym because they both have “the same passion for fitness and health.” 3. He has been very nice to his ex-wife recently. She is the mother of his first child. They’ve been in court for several things and to change the parenting schedule because she accused him of showing porn to their 12 year old son. After several appearances with a magistrate, the son just confessed to his mother that it was him who looked up the porn sites and not his father. The ex now wants to settle a couple of things (she owes him money) outside the court and drop the charges against him related to the porn.

I have no idea where that came from, honestly. I asked him, point blank, why he doesn't want to spend time with his daughter, and all he could say was "I just don't want to waste my time. We only have so much time on this planet." Hahahah your husband reads the Red Pill.
