I work very hard to hide the part of me that I hate.

I love my children deeply, but hate myself just as much.

Are you bipolar? There’s a limited number of names of mental illnesses and they’re not very esoteric.

No it's not bipolar. There's an incredible seen in ER called "Sailing Away". It's a scene with Sally Field (who is bipolar in the series by the way), that sums up my feelings about my mental illness so well. It's just sad to have been born with such a messed up brain. It's a painful way to have lived my life.

Hit send too soon. It's the scene of Sally Field and her daughter on a balcony in a hotel. She talks about how she watches other people leading normal lives, and how she tried to live one, too, but couldn't make it work. It's very touching to me, and if I had one wish it would be to end mental illness for everyone.

I was a performer on a paid adult web site and built up a decent following. Started when I was 45.

What were the logistics of this?

I can’t think of a single interesting thing. Clearly I am the last person who will have a book written about them.

I had a pretty bad eating disorder in my 20s. Had to be hospitalized for a brief time. I am now your typical overweight suburban mom and I LOVE that I love my body as it is. However, when someone shares the (very rare) photo of me from that time, I'm always complimented on how good I look (while I'm in intensive impatient program at 5'7 and 95 lbs).

I'm so sorry you have to bear this burden. Thoughts and prayers to you. Wonderful that your children have a mother who loves them so deeply--something to hold onto.

When they died about a year or so later, I made my siblings think they were all getting their fair share of our parent’s estate, which they somewhat are, but in reality, I’m getting more than my siblings.

I’ve been surprised at how easy it has been to hide various small amounts of money that add up to me getting thousands more than my siblings. One sibling has been sniffing around a bit and asking questions, but I think she’s too dumb to figure it out. Bonus points for getting to stick it to my one really annoying sibling.

Is this just greed on your part or do you feel you deserve more, for example, for taking care of them?

My sibling who is very annoying married a man who allows her to stay home and “take care” of their kids. She does absolutely nothing in terms of work, even though my parents spent tons of money sending her to a private college and grad school. I’m divorced with kids, work hard, and have been fired twice in the last few years. I need the money way more than she does. She’s getting plenty and there’s no need for her to know that there’s more that I’m keeping for myself.

That was your parents’ call not yours.

You are a thief.

+100 you are an envious thief. I hope the money you stole was worth the karma that's coming for you.

In the big scheme of things, it’s not really that much money. I’ve taken a very small amount extra in proportion to the division of assets we’re all getting. And no one will ever know because, like I said, it’s just small extra amounts here and there that won’t show up in any of the paperwork, which no one is really going to check anyway.

My sibling is a very difficult person who did nothing at all to help with our parents. She’s already getting a huge amount money from the estate, so these small extra amounts won’t make any difference at all.

Yeah I have a sibling who tells herself the same story. It isn’t true. It’s just to justify her thievery to herself.

Are you sure no one is going to check your paperwork? Don’t you have to turn in a final accounting of everything to the probate court and get permission before you can distribute funds to the beneficiaries?

Are you male or female? How did you experiment?

My previous response was deleted, so you just have to use your imagination.

Not PP but “paid adult website” is sufficient.

Isn't this basic logic? Like, doesn't everyone have to go to city hall or wherever to get their marriage license?
