The OP knows what I’m talking about, even if the downvoters don’t.

Best solution against onion smell ! Stainless steel soap is a must have in a kitchen !

You didn’t fuck up. You just made your mom see the reality she was clearly avoiding. Please don’t blame yourself. Your parents are meant to protect you, not ignore abusive behavior so that they can continue their relationship with an abuser.

I hope you find healing and peace.

Or she could’ve just picked a snack that didn’t need to be heated on a stove at all? If you don’t know how to use an appliance, don’t use it until someone shows you how.

Or just don’t use a gas stove if you don’t know how to use it and get a snack that doesn’t involve heating?

Desperately needed a serotonin rush

How did you fuck up here? You outted a terrible person. Yea, your mom feels bad for not seeing it but come on shes a grown adult, at some point she has to pick up on things on her own.

I hate stoners

You aren't the cause an because of you she knows whats dangerous and how to survive.

Even in winter people can survive some time outdoors with proper gear and knowledge!

Well that owner is asking for it with a gas stove in a vacation rental without a working CO detector.

Just a tip: suppositories!

HOW MANY MINUTES DOES THAT TAKE?

Upon reading the title, and up until the first half, I thought OP sucked his own dick in the shower, I was like “Damn, OP!”

Congratulations to you. He sounds like an arsehole.

Twice in one day, whilst unwell?!

I hope she does divorce him. Any decent parent puts their children first.

Had the same reaction when I was a little kid. Got my tonsils out and had trouble eating anything. Finally my mom made me some ramen and as I was finally eating the first thing in days my scab ruptured Just like yours, a mountain of blood. It looked like someone had just been murdered lol

If this girl reappears, it might be thanks to the survival skills you taught her, that’s the opposite of a fuck up. She would have ran away regardless, so your teachings might save her

It's called my ideal vacation.

I met my insurance deductible breaking my ankle earlier this year, hence why I’m doing this surgery now.

Love the American healthcare system.

You ever see F is for family? Heavy - Chet and Nguyen-Nguyen relationship vibes in this post. Prob drinking a lil bleach with every meal lmao

Sometimes the only thing that matters is if you feel responsible and if you feel responsible then yeah you should do something that you are capable of helping.

Regardless if the rest of us agree that op is responsible or not.

OP is over here thinking he did a bad thing teaching her how to survive, I'm over here thinking OP might have given her the only skill she ever needed to escape an abusive situation, so you never know.

especially if it is a church group there could be a whole lot of underlying issues of why she ran away from home.

Better camping in the woods than everyone up being trafficked because she was cold and hungry. You made sure she had knowledge and skills to make an educated choice even running away instead of just mindlessly fleeing. And don't think teaching her sterile techniques was a mistake. Better she cuts somewhat safely than randomly. I can't imagine anyone ever thought, "oh, I shouldn't cut necessarily because I could get an infection"

Even from her perspective, she is not going to believe you.

She is going to believe that you think it on the moment, but she's just going to see it as a reaction from her getting engaged. And that's not what she wants anyway. Even if deep down she would want it to work with you, she doesn't want to risk it all for you when it seems like it's an emotional response to her getting engaged. Because then you could change your mind 4 months later as abruptly. It doesn't sound "safe".

I don't know Taylor, but I assume she is around your age so around 35. This is the time lot of people (and mostly women) decide it's time to settle if they want to start a family. And even if everyone would love to settle with the love of their life, it often isn't the case. But the next best thing is to find a loving partner, that provides stability and security, that will be a good loving parent. If she found that, she isn't going to blow everything to risk it with you, because yes you are a risk, and her time is a limited resource.

I had a similar experience, and when she said she wanted to stop, and I learnt she met a "safe" guy to settle with, I tried to show her I was ready. She told me I should have done this before, and basically she can't be sure if I'm being truthful or if I'm just like that as a reaction. And to her that was too big of a risk, she couldn't lose more time when she is getting older and wants a family.
