Reply to TIFU BY ACCIDENTALLY GETTING CPS CALLED ON MY PARENTS by Throwaway2756655101

After reading your update, I’m a bit more concerned for you. They’ve clearly convinced you that below-standard care is the norm and have neglected you and your sibling so much that you guys don’t even know it. They got CPS called on them because they are terrible parents putting you directly in harms way. They are an active detriment in your life. Even though you say things are sooo much better now, I don’t they are. You just have never experienced healthy parental relationships, so you don’t know. You said you “only have to lend money sometimes now” as if that’s a good thing. I’ve never lent my parents money, they have NEVER asked for it, and I’m darn well sure they’ve needed help in the past. But that was never my burden. A parent doesn’t make their problems their child’s, a parent doesn’t allow their child to not have access to water at ALL times, a parent doesn’t allow their child to be screamed at by boyfriends encouraging suicide. And I won’t lie, if your water frequently breaks and the landlord doesn’t even fix it… I doubt the place you live in is actually expensive at all. They just tell you that because everyone in this has such a skewed perception of normal. They took your money for $80 of cigarettes, and you think the reason they can’t afford rent is because it’s overpriced? I’m not trying to make you feel bad, but man I really hope your eyes can be opened to how not normal this is, and how much your mom deserves to have CPS look into her.

It's not something you see the consequences of so vividly in the east. Watching a single spark-shower from a malfunctioning transformer within 20 feet of me cause a 4 acre fire to start *despite* me trying to stop it and then grabbing as many of the people whose houses backed up onto that bit of wild space to help defend the fences while the fire department arrived when I was 12ish had a very strong effect on me.

Ikr?! It's just SO much easier when you have someone to actually talk to about interesting stuff. Looking at it this way, I wonder if those people who got offended by your explanations maybe just are lazy and looking for an excuse to stop being active ...

Reply to TIFU By Urinating on my Girlfriend's Foot by SubstantialEnding

I'm fucking dying at "pee pee the clown" lmfao.

Seriously tho, and assuming this is not just karma farming, what were you expecting would happen once she realized you pissed on her feet? You thought she wouldn't notice the smell? Or were you planning on licking her piss-soaked feet as well?
