Things you wouldn't admit to in real life

[TwinklyFawn]

Light hearted. I dislike my mum's boyfriend. I am sick of his constant grunting when i ask him a question. It is like he is incapable of saying yes or no to a simple question. He is a terrible bus driver. He drives like he is on a race track.

what is ESA?

Do you ever use the vouchers to buy the presents for other people, or are they mostly “experience” vouchers?

Me too. It’s depressing watching them fade from beautiful to dead.

I have a favourite child

Employment support allowance

I have relatives with millions in assets who get Attendance Allowance, I don't think he's unusual.

I worked with a godawful guy for nearly 14 years who was a racist, sexist bully . He never knew I spat in his morning hot chocolate at every opportunity.

That’s pretty passive aggressive

I forget to add that to my list too!!

I’m embarrassed to be Scottish at the moment given the protests against refugees at a hotel near me. The “against” protestors try to hide saying that they’re protecting women and children but they’re simply racist. They target anyone who disagrees with them. The “for” protestors are just as bad. I’ve never seen anything like this. You daren’t speak up because whatever your views are wrong. It’s just horrible.

...and I'm glad I did it

I wish I was a widow. I do have secret money but I owe my bro £4000. I did influence uncle to cut some relatives out of his will . It is my fault I got sacked for thinking I was the righteous one but I was badly wrong . I am jealous of some of my friends . I think I still love my ex . I don't really care about my friends problems.

Are you happy now?

As much as I love my DH, I do sometimes imagine what it would be like if he died and I could reorganise the furniture to my liking.

Where’s the passive bit?

Sounds like he had it coming.

That’s quite normal 😀

My best friend is a really lovely person but she makes the most awful cakes. I don't like sweet/sickly cake and as well as being extra sweet and as heavy as bricks, she covers her cakes in thick, sickly buttercream. It makes me feel ill

Passive because he didn’t know she was doing it, assuming she didn’t spit in the hot chocolate in front of him

I’m 59 with several health issues I really want to retire but I’m very scared to have little income only 20 years of work based pension

I wish that over 80s should be de prioritised by the NHS as they take up so many of it's resources.

I 'diagnosed' one of my nephews as a psychopath when he was still a cute, young teenager. I'm not saying he's a murderer or anything like that, only that he's extremely manipulative for his own benefit, pursues his aims remorselessly and has no interest in others' wellbeing.

Now he's a successful adult, his parents were talking about how he never makes friends outside his small professional circle and doesn't actually like people. I decided I was right all those years ago but will never say so! I feel a bit sorry for his siblings, who just kept taking the hit for him as children and no doubt will again.

@Hungrysalmon87 I quite respect your honesty and totally understand that.

I wasted my life due to the trauma I endured throughout childhood and my teens to throughout my 20s. Both parents first, then the father of my child. I’m NC with all but I’ve been stuck in the trauma loop ever since. I’m a hermit. Completely fucked up. I’ve never found a way out as I’m consumed by it. Constant flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks that come out of nowhere. I’ve been made into a broken person. I was always very clever and could have made it into a brilliant career. CPTSD has me firmly in its grasp. DD is autistic with a PDA profile so her constant screaming hysterical meltdowns over the smallest of things cause complete havoc with my mental health triggering flashbacks of what I’ve had happen to me.
All I ever wanted was to be married with children and also have my own career. Each choice was taken away from me one by one, horrific miscarriages along the way.
Now I’m alone with 13 year old DD walking on eggshells every minute because a meltdown can just suddenly happen at any given moment at any time of day, or multiple times a day. It’s hard to live like this. I rarely leave the house. I’m her advocate and will alway keep fighting for her but it’s at the detriment of my mental health. Chipping away every day. I love the bones of her and live in fear of shutting down unable to cope any more.

Just wondering why you married him? Did you think he would be a good husband/father?

Do you feel at all bad about any of this?
