Yeah the minute the post mentioned homeschooling my Abusedar went off. This mom was harmed by someone as a child and has lived her entire life with the resulting anxiety. She's a great housewife because there's a voice in the back of her head telling her that if she slacks off she'll lose everything.

My (27m) wife (25f, together 8 years, married 6) refuses to leave our kids (6f and 3m) anywhere with an unrelated man, and it is starting to cause problems with my sister and her husband (30s, together 7 years, married 3)

She used to scare herself by staying up late reading about kids getting abducted and molested. I think it got to the point where she became really scared of all men.

quote:

She has never been abused (at least she never told me if she has), but her parents were helicopter parents too so I think this is just her continuing that with our kids. We had to keep our relationship secret from them for a while.

The sad thing is that she doesn't recognize her mom and dad's style of parenting as controlling and damaging because it wasn't :airquote: abuse :airquote:. Now she's continuing the cycle with her kids.

Yeah, that would make sense. The part about how she and the OP are religious while the in-laws aren't and this caused a rift between them makes me think they're also just kind of crazy. The husband should really be making it clear that this is an issue and that help is available because she isn't just going to magically get better all of a sudden. The fact that none of the grandparents have a problem with her policy is not great either. I don't have a whole lot of hope for an extremely overprotective religious homeschooler choosing to get help unfortunately.

what leads you to believe that dude is capable of gently suggesting anything, his amazing deescalation technique for people getting offended when his wife implies their spouses are child molesters is going "well I don't think it's sexist" and then whining that they might "get petty" over it

AITA for the "insensitive" sticker I have on my gun?
u/Farti_B

quote:

I like guns, and I have a near obsession with history. Going to the shooting range is a hobby of mine and I go ever so often to shoot the more "historical" guns that I have.

Due to my obsession with history, I too obsess over the history of my guns. One of these guns is a Mosin Nagant, the first "historical" gun I purchased. This Russian gun was made in Tula sometime during WWII according to the insignia on it. Jokingly, I put a "This Machine Kills Fascists" sticker on the stock because considering the context and history of the rifle (and the quote) it may or may not have partaken in such an action. I'd usually be against stuff like this on an antique, but its just a sticker that can be peeled off easily and I have another (completely unmodified) Mosin from the same era and the same factory. Also, Mosins are a dime a dozen (relatively speaking, compared to other guns).

The other day my friends and I went to the shooting range and I brought it along. While we were there, someone came up to us and said the sticker is insensitive/offensive and trashy. I basically told him that the rifle indeed may have killed fascists a long time ago but now its just shoots paper and not people, in the same vein as many other historical firearms (especially from WWII). He told me that's true but the sticker almost implies that I'd use it to kill other people, and it's no different from putting "This machine kills (Any other ideology/group/etc)." I felt this was a really lovely comparison and told him that the phrase isn't some modern invention but goes back to WWII just like the rifle (it was actually coined by the same dude that wrote "My Land is Your Land").

We agreed to disagree, and by that time we had already been packing up so we left. My friends sided with me on the whole discussion, but I can't help feel that maybe it is kinda trashy. I never meant the sticker to refer to the modern political climate, and in my head it's always referred to the actual Nazis/fascists in WWII just like the quote originally does. AITA?

One of the things you hear with a lot of victims of sexual abuse is that they didn't even process it as abuse until they usually go through a full on breakdown at some point. That MJ documentary was a pretty good example of this, they just didn't really see what had happened as abuse, because it happened as a child and they weren't capable of processing it.

WIBTA for "robbing" my boyfriend for supporting cardi b's robbery?

quote:

My boyfriend ignorantly thinks Cardi B is a role model for robbing passed out men. Everytime surviving Cardi B comes up on our socials he always is over the top in defending her. As someone who has had a home invasion when I was 15, I'm disgusted he continues to support that.

We are in the process of moving in together, so I was hatching a little plan to wait until we're drinking this weekend hide most of his electronics,wallet, and keys in the basement so he can wake up to a cleaned out room and an open door and feel how much it shakes you up to have your poo poo missing. I wouldn't let him freak out for more than a few minutes before returning the stuff. AITA or is that too far

I know there’s an entire other thread about that doc but like, wasn’t that public knowledge? Like growing up I knew he was a diddler and didn’t need a making a murderer style zero fact documentary to tell me. What’s next, a crime “documentary” about how OJ was guilty, or about the Clintons being murderers?

Yeah, I don't want to derail the thread to much, but basically yes, we all kinda knew he was an abuser. But then these kids all came out and said he didn't do anything to them so it was sorta like "eh, maybe not, and his music is so good!".

I don't think most people really thought he was totally innocent, but the documentary is more about how typical the grooming process was, how it affected these two particular kids as they became adults, and what it took to come to terms with what had happened.

Edgelord jokes about him being a pedo cause he looks creepy are one thing and a detailed description of how he systematically abused his victims in the same way he did you is another. Most normal people aren't spending their afternoons going back and deeply reevaluating each one of their childhood memories to see which ones register as sexual assault now that they understand what sex is, just for the hell of it.
