When I was 13 years old I was raped behind a church next to the middle school I attended. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes. I can’t help but feel that makes OP feel even the tiniest bit better to know so many people co-sign his goodness. |
That is all. | Wearing a mask properly would be a great idiot test if it didn’t mean making others sick. 😐 |
My name is Amelie (26) and I have a 5-year-old son. My ex-husband (29) cheated on me with his co-worker, Bethany (28). I was 2 months pregnant with our second child when I found out. Bethany was going to have his child. I miscarried; my ex left the house to be with her. It's been 2 years since it was born. My Mother-in... | please have the will overlooked for the lawyer just in case he contests it and to prevent aany loopholes |
A few months ago we met at the gas station. She didn’t have any money on her and she was trying to get to a bus stop a few blocks away. I drove her on the way we were chatting about everything. We really got along and after finding out she didn’t have anywhere to go I asked her if she’d like me to get her something to ... | Good luck with your journey. Crazy things happen in life and hoping you guys can work it out. Best advice I could offer is no matter what happens always be respectful to each other for your kids sake |
I got a 98% on my exam yesterday and I still can’t believe it. Nobody really cares enough for me to tell them so I’m telling you guys. The exam was ridiculously hard and the majority of my class failed it. I still have another exam coming up and test outs but my confidence in my abilities has sky rocketed.
Edit: okay,... | As a future sick person, I care. Thanks for your great effort. Congrats! |
My only friend gets mad when I put it on, like WTF?! I'm not making a damn political statement, my mother is at risk so I don't want her to fucking die. Even in stores a lot of people working aren't wearing masks??? Like what the hell is happening? WE ARE STILL IN A PANDEMIC NO? Also I'm a little scared for my safety i... | I live in Tennessee, this post hits too close to home. |
He was born happy & healthy. Most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen in my life. Happiest day of our life is sadly also the hardest one. We wanted him so bad. Right now where we are in our lives though, barely surviving paycheck to paycheck, food stamps, and living in a shitty ass neighborhood in one of the most expensive o... | I’m a mom to a precious little girl who’s sleeping in my arms right now thanks to another couple who made the same decision that you and your gf did today. We have a strong relationship with my daughter’s first family and I hope you can have the same with your son.

Audrey when we found you, you were 1/2 dead and 100% feral. I’m glad you grew out of attacking everyone. Only took 4 years. I’m glad you’ve learned to allow the occasional family friend to pet your head....only the head anywhere else and you bite and that took 8 years. I’ve accepted that you don’t really like humans an... | That’s very sweet 💕
Thanks for loving her, most people don’t care about animals who do that. She’s very lucky to have you 🥰 |
I got out of a really bad marriage where my then-husband snuck around on his phone constantly. After three years of that treatment I’m still working to trust others again. Yesterday my current boyfriend and I were at uHaul and he needed to grab something but wanted to keep his phone unlocked because it had the sign in ... | I had a moment a few months ago very similarly with my boyfriend.
He doesn’t have a lock on his phone. Anyway, he went to the gym in our apartment complex and left his phone at home. I could have gone through it just for the hell of it. But the fact I wasn’t even tempted to snoop told me all i needed to know about ... |
I’ve been wracking my brain and I just can’t understand why private medical insurance is a good idea for anyone but the pigs getting rich from it. There exists an entire industry around medical insurance. All of those people, including CEOs that get paid millions of dollars a year, take a shitload more money then it w... | Let’s not forget they are taking that money and paying off your politicians :) |
I was 8 and he was 28-30 (can’t remember) after it happened my mom beat him so bad he couldn’t work, but he never went to the police.
Last i knew he was homeless and/or dead so i started to open up about what happened. I told one person his name and what he used to look like because he asked.

Found in a therapists office.
I don’t like the phrase “A cry for help.” I just don’t like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide, I have a plan; I just need a reason not to do it,” the last thing I see is helples... |
I’m kind of insecure about my body. I’m not obese or horribly overweight but I know I could stand to lose a few pounds. I’ve been nervous about being naked in front of her, especially since she’s so stunning.
This is a pretty new relationship and we had sex for the first time today. It was amazing and we fell asleep ... | Cherish her, there’s nothing like being loved for who you are. I’m so glad you have someone in your life to make you feel loved! |
This may sound dramatic, but this happened to me when I was 12. I had just gotten my braces off and the dentist was getting rid of the glue on my teeth. After he was done he said “I shaved down your canines while I had the grinder out to make them look more feminine” I asked what he meant and he lifted up a mirror, I h... | Now you all are making me wonder if they did it to mine without me knowing.... |
I’ve been job hunting since August and finally found not just a job, but a GOOOOOD job, a SALARIED job, a job with AMAZING BENEFITS, a job that PAYS MORE THAN MY STUDENT LOANS, a job that USES MY DOCTORAL DEGREE, a job that PAYS MORE THAN I’VE EVER EARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It feels amazing to be valued for my skill set!... | Hell yeah! Congratulations! That’s awesome, especially with the way everything is right now. Enjoy it! |
I’d never felt such cold, raw fear push through my veins like it had a couple of hours ago. I wasn’t even able to get my door unlocked before he attacked me and I shit myself on purpose as he tried to unlock my door with my keys while they were still in my hand. I shit myself with the force of a thousand pistons and le... | Accept my award for your self defeces. You have been promoted to brown belt.
Jokes aside, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Nobody should ever be in that position. |
Hello,
I’ve never really written my whole story and before I go I wanted to have someone remember who I was, even if it’s a series of anonymous redditors. This is going to be a long read and I apologize in advance.
I was born into a wealthy family in managment of a household corporation from the part of the world I w... | Damn I’ve got no words other than I hope your last week is peaceful my friend. I hope you get to see her in the beyond.
Farewell my anonymous brother I’ll pour one out for you. |
A good start | CONGRATS! You’ve done it for three days, which means you can make it four! One day at a time. You got this, and I’m proud of you. |
I’m tired, and so is everyone I work with. I was a combat medic, then an LPN, and now I’m a medical technologist for a big clinic. I’ve always done whatever it was for my patients.

Missed Thanksgiving. Small bowel obstruction, hernia. My nurses were the very best people I've met in years. I tried asking how "the whole situation with covid" was going. They just got blank faces.

There was a boy in my neighborhood that I had a crush on as a kid. Nothing came of it and we were never particularly close.
Years later he passed away in a car accident he was at fault for, and killed several people. No drugs or alcohol involved - it was snowy, slick, and he was a new driver. I felt horrible for every... | As someone who is watching their sons memory be lost over time, thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart.

I'm fucking appalled.
Woodstock was a 500,000 person festival that lasted three whole fucking days. LSD, prepped-up blotters for a dollar. How many people died at this massive fucking event?
Two.
One overdose, and one freak accident.

She’s only 37. Her birthday is in exactly two weeks.
Happened on Sunday. We made a nice Easter dinner. right in the middle of it she said she felt funny and stopped eating. Then she started to lose feeling on her left side. I called 911 and she was taken to a hospital.
I couldn’t see her because of viral precautions.... | I... I’m speechless for you. I can’t even fathom how that felt in the moment. I hope you and her get through all of this.

I'm so fucking tired of buying my frozen waffles in packages of 10. I'm 24 years old I eat 3 waffles at once. With a package of 10 that's 3 days of waffles with 1 leftover.
