Childhood illness where I nearly died

Murder

Another murder

TBI

Married a narcissist that eventually raped me

Kids with special needs

IEP meetings

Autoimmune disease that took nearly 20 years to diagnose while doctors told me it was all in my head. I’ve been sick for so long.

It's "who" not "that" when you refer to a person. "That" is for objects, "who" is for people.

The pp said she was raped, and the most you can do is point out a grammatical mistake?? You. Are. A. Complete. Asshat.

Sure, she wrote that she was, but absolutely nothing on this thread written by anyone is necessarily true, you do realize that?

When I was about this age and my step brother and a friend were sexually abusive towards me, my narcissist step dad said "sluts will be sluts." About me. And my mother allowed him to react in this way. Horrible people.

I have been kicked out of friend groups, scolded by family members at holidays, rejected by people I cared about, shunned at jobs, lost out on opportunities and even shunned by my former faith community.

I have had recurring cold sores most of my life and was not able to take medication due to kidney issues. Recently the frequency and severity has subsided and reflecting back I now see how much this issue has impacted my life. For so long I stuffed away the hurt of each event and I didn't make the connection.

A girl I went to high school with experienced this and people probably don’t understand how horrible people are about it. She was attractive and had a well to do family but was treated like a leper whether she had the sores or not.

It is absolutely horrible to respond to that post with this correction to PP's grammar.

What’s more likely? That she made it up for attention on an anonymous thread where no one even knows who she is (and so the idea of trying to get attention/sympathy by making up a story of being raped is ridiculous) or that she’s telling the truth? You’re an idiot.

You are a horrible person. Horrible.

There's a lot of far fetched nonsense on this thread and then a ton of gullible soap-opera watchers eating it all up.

You're pathetic.

something similar happened to me. I resigned from a dream job that had a very toxic boss.

Given that pp is not still a teenager he/she needs to grow up and learn to read the room.

I have been molested by strangers in my home country. i fought back. no lasting trauma but I am hypervigilant about my safety and safety of my family.

My daughter’s suicide attempt several years ago. She’s doing so much better now - better than I would have thought possible at the time - but I still have a constant level of anxiety that I didn’t have before.

I believe a herpes vaccine is on the horizon. But even after a vaccine, I doubt I will ever feel comfortable around the people who said and did unkind things to me because of oral herpes. The virus gave people justification to shame me and they seized every opportunity with delight.

I’m horrible for pointing out that you’re horrible? Hmm
