Yo - I had a very weird childhood and basically was raised to be a feral chihuahua but this behavior would worry me. I agree with the other commenters that if you’ve been really clear about how this makes you feel yet she’s still doing it, than it is actually about something she’s feeling and that’s overriding her…

I have to agree with other commenters that there may be some unseen factors here. I agree that you should share all of these concerns with her therapist, hopefully a new therapist. Big hugs to both of you.

Maybe this is what will open the door for the job you want. Maybe being back in Jersey with your mom’s support is the thing you needed to find the job that will work for you. I mean, I understand. I’m living in a place I don’t want to be, and I’m depressed most of the time because I want to be where I want to be,…

Oh darling, I’m sorry. At least you have your mom in your life to fall back on.

There is something more going on here. She’s trying to tell you something. A daughter does not tell her dad she’s not wearing underwear unless something has happened. Maybe not molestation but she’s either seen something she wasn’t meant to see or she’s feeling something that is very confusing for her. This…

At thirteen she is old enough to understand that this makes you uncomfortable and why. Tell her that she can have all the naked time she wants in her room with the door closed, and that you will knock before entering.

Please don’t threaten your child with a belt. Even if you don’t intend to use it. I feel like you are dancing around on the edges of extremes.

That’s what I thought the first time she told me after a very thorough interrogation I came to the conclusion that that hadn’t happened. In the days and weeks after I kept asking questions and it still appeared to me that this was something she did on her own. The other two times she said once was in the car after we…

Thank you! I’m hoping a change of scenery might be what I need. My depression is out of control and it’s killing me to have to say goodbye to my friends. They mean so much to me that’s it hard to be around them because I’m scared we’ll lose touch.

Yeah I thinks it’s time for a new therapist i’ve considered going down your war path but i’m a bit unsure how to do it without making her feel ashamed of her body and girls get enough of that from the world around them and I don’t want to make it worse but she’s pushing me towards the nuclear option.

Sorry, sweetie. Have some kittens.

I’m beyond reading or being articulate at this point- but I always love your gifs. ❤

Chef here. Retired, but still.

Me too. I’ve always liked the name Alexander. I wouldn’t name a kid Ella but it’s a nice name too. I get annoyed by the Pilot Inspektors and the Audio Sciences.

As fuuny as that sounds, it never worried me because you can prevent it with 2 or 3 CO detectors. The previous owner of my house must have been like you though because we have 10 (1 in each of the 4 bedrooms, 1 in upstairs hall, 1 in downstairs hall, 1 in family room (fireplace), 1 at top of basement steps, and 1 in…

The night the Blackhawks clinched the Cup in 2015, I was supposed to meet a friend at a local bar to watch the game. Instead, I ended up with about 4 inches of shit water from the sewer backing up into my finished basement (that was the most rain I’ve ever seen come down in like 4 hours). Because that shit was fucked,…

My house has a wooden exterior.

This article would be a lot scarier if I wasn’t so fond of avocado toast.

Neighbors.

Too fucking right on the plumbing. We had to replace our terra cotta sewer pipe (root grew right through) and had to get a tree cut down to get to it. And to get to the tree properly, part of our fence had to come down.
