Atrocious behaviour from the parents. They shouldn't have had kids at all imo but bare minimum is to get tested first and ensure your children know about it.

And THREE kids?? From the way OOP wrote about it, it sounds like dad knew his mother had it before having kids himself. That means if he had confirmed the gene in himself, 87.5% chance that at least one of those kids has it. I guess generously if he never tested himself, that means only 43.75% chance of at least one kid having it, but that's still pretty high for such a shit disease to subject your kids to.

I don't see Wiles Ó Briker either

Reading the title: this is going to be very funny

Reading the story: 😂 😕

Time to go to one of these concerts and see about getting a backstage pass or something. Make sure to surprise this rock star too, don't let him know in advance! Might be expensive but Sarah is already in for 750k so another few hundred isn't going to break the bank any more.

Absolute best deal I would give the guy is we look back at the back statements and estimate his contributions over the years. He can have one quarter of that.

I left early in the morning with as much stuff as I could, I went to the next town over and sat in the parking lot waiting for the rental place to open so she wouldn't have a chance of browsing around town before work and find me. Before I got the rental I got all my money out as well. Aftrt getting the rental I went back to the house

I'm really confused about the logistics of this. How did he get to the next town over and back? Did he take the shared car? How does he get the rental car then, does one of the staff bring it? Why would she be looking for him around town, was it one of his days off so she expected him to stay home? Or would she just notice all the missing things?

I'd throw out a line like "if there was ever a chance that I would give you the days or some of the days, it is now gone. You have created a hostile environment by shit talking me to coworkers and going over my head and I need the holiday just to recover from all of that"

100% true. Note that I was responding to someone who called it quick and fun, so the lack of choices seemed like a relevant point there.

Monopoly has one great rule (or lack of specificity), that it doesn't put any restricting on when you are able to trade (doesn't even say it has to be your turn!). This creates a great ten minutes or so when most of the properties are bought and people are making interesting deals with each other.

Everything else in the game is bad because there are very few interesting decisions to make. The dice tell you where you go and the space you land on tells you what to do. Strictly you "decide" whether or not to buy an available property if you land on it, but it's virtually always a good idea. In the rare auction case you can decide your bid. You can decide which order you mortgage off your properties if you are out of money. I think one of the chance/CC cards has a choice on it? Even buying houses is kind of dull since you have to build them evenly across the block.

Apparently this is the storyline of some book series so presumably fake. If not though, what are these lives??

Definitely some projection going on here, Decker is suffering for the sins of her father.

Decker remembers her to have told her to her face "You're not real family"

Even if you don't see this girl as your niece, she is still your cousin's daughter. Like she is absolutely family by any definition.

The only acceptable internal handling is convincing the boys to stay with them and maybe getting some clean evidence for police. As the commenter said, child abuse is a crime and should be handled as such
