Yeah, I guess this whole time she’s been blaming me and the kids, and I feel pretty shitty that she’s struggling more with it now, even if it is the truth

😬. That's a tough position to be in, but I wouldn't say you fucked up.

I mean she did, but he’s been going to therapy for a bit now and I guess she didn’t realize how bad it still was. Plus I have 2 step-siblings so that kinda complicated things.

Dang, your mom was right, you jerked it and went (partially) blind!

You didn't fuck up, you steered that child to the truth that he's landed in a cult.

Did your mom really not know who she married?

Correction, she’ll come back if her skills WERE cutting it. If she was not a good student, then she ain’t ever gonna be seen again if her skills weren’t up to par.

I’m sure she’ll come to her senses eventually though once she realizes its squatch migrAting season.

For me the reason why OP is dumb is that OP blamed the gas instead of the weed habit

Whenever I try to Bluetooth my car to one phone, and my earbuds to another phone, the car takes over & doesn't allow the secondary phone to connect to my earbuds... It's frustrating & weird because my car can't connect to two Bluetooth devices at once, but as soon as I activate Bluetooth on a secondary device my car hijacks it & abandons the other device.

I remember as a kid, got my tonsils out and a nurse decided to give me jello… red jello.

Still in the hospital (I had thin blood and they needed to monitor for a couple nights) I vomited and it was bright red and all hell broke loose until someone noticed the jello cup and asked “what color” lol.

Also...when your ENT gives you instructions for pain meds...you better follow those instructions to the damned letter. If you have to wake up at 3 AM to take pills and then fall asleep again, you better do it. As long as the pain cycle is kept at bay, you'll be ok.

I wanted to be tough so I thought: fuck it, I'll take them first thing in the morning...I...woke at 11 AM the next day. Let me tell you, the discomfort when I tried to drink water felt like I was trying to drink shredded obsidian glass. It only got worse. At times I felt like a Japanese Giant Hornet was lovingly sexing up my throat. Recovery was estimated for two weeks, sooooo you'll need to eat. Try drinking lukewarm soup. BLAND lukewarm soup because if you salt it, it will feel like you gave your Japanese Giant Hornet Viagra. I'm a problematic sleeper and any discomfort fucks with my ability to fall asleep so that delayed the recovery too.

Chad move

And just like that I continue to procrastinate on my tonsillectomy even further

I had them out in 2nd grade, so I think 7/8? I really don't remember the pain being that bad?

You’re still trash even if your wife doesn’t throw you out.

Buddy, you didn’t say a triggering thing that caused me to be emotional, I’m not even sure how you think my reply was emotional. I’m just confused as to how your take from this post was people have too high expectations of men. Please do explain, I’d genuinely love to hear it.

Dang did it help, I have really bad sleep apnea and still have all my equipment, and I get tonsil stones so this is starting to sound enticing

I had severe sleep apnea and it was due to very large adenoids and such. ENT Said it was prob better to do more than less since the surgery is typically less effective when you are older so they took part of that as well

If she's freaking out enough that she'd run away from home, she's freaking out enough that she probably didn't consider whether it'd be safe or not before leaving. She's safer than she otherwise would be because of you.

I'm surprised by how much it cost

OP is lucky they live in a country that gives more leeway for what they did

They should've called 911 immediately

even asking questions can help make your faith and connection to become stronger
