Ever since I was little, my Mom tried to fit in with her boy friend's life style. The guy could have been a raging alchoholic, who was a complete ass(most of them were) and she would stay with him, no matter what. Last year, I told my mom that my step brother had been sexually abusing me for a little over two years. When I told her, she at first seemed shocked and had called him in the room with my step dad. They kicked him out of the house for two days; during those two days, my mom didn't talk to me, yet alone speak to me. She began making me feel guilty for getting in trouble, and even tried bribing with my graduation dress for my 8th grade ceremony. I eventually gave in, and they moved him back in. I was forced to live with him for six months, until I ran away to my dad's house. The thing that I have had trouble coping with is how she could have just turned away from me. It hurts so much. I would have maybe understood if she was a dad, since they don't really go through the pregnancy and the pain mothers feel. I have just have had the hardest time grasping how my mom could have just left me like that. She told I could tell her anything. Why would she have done that? I'd like to assume she just has some mental illness that she had never told me about, but maybe she just didn't care what happened to me.'; data[0]['blog_time'] = 'Thu, 08 May 2014 14:18:19 -0400'; data[1] = new Array(); data[1]['title'] = 'I unfriended my depressed friend.'; data[1]['url'] = 'https://www.psychforums.com/blog/Psychology/i_unfriended_my_depressed_friend._c-3_u-360950_b-10180.html'; data[1]['url'] = 'https://www.psychforums.com/blog/Psychology/i_unfriended_my_depressed_friend._c-3_u-360950_b-10180.html'; data[1]['username'] = 'owlcityislove'; data[1]['blog_id'] = '10180'; data[1]['blog_message'] = 'I unfriended my depressed friend. She was very demanding and refused to accept criticisms, but she tried to be a friend, and that's what makes me feel guilty. She has depression and anxiety, but I'm not the kind of person who's patient and understanding enough to deal with someone who gets angry at constructive criticisms and isn't willing to help herself. She asked me if I only befriended her out of pity, and I said "yeah a little" because I'm a very straightforward person and I'm not a very "empathetic" person per say, and yes that's a horrible thing to say, but I wanted out of the friendship that made me so anxious and unhappy all the time. Our friendship lasted for about 2 years, which was rather long considering that I only befriended her out of pity. It ended unhappily, with her telling me that I was selfish, but I know I couldn't put up a fake front anymore and I feel more liberated than sorry. Can someone tell me if what I did was right? Ending the friendship? I wanted to be a more understanding friend as well and attempted to make it last, but she really made me lose my head, any advice on that?'; data[1]['blog_time'] = 'Sat, 03 Sep 2016 08:37:10 -0400'; data[2] = new Array(); data[2]['title'] = 'Strange fetishes'; data[2]['url'] = 'https://www.psychforums.com/blog/Psychology/strange_fetishes_c-3_u-251679_b-6115.html'; data[2]['url'] = 'https://www.psychforums.com/blog/Psychology/strange_fetishes_c-3_u-251679_b-6115.html'; data[2]['username'] = 'tormented48man'; data[2]['blog_id'] = '6115'; data[2]['blog_message'] = 'What am i if I like watching a black man have not just my gf, but want to watch black men with anypetite white female, but lately my fantasies have been about watching big black men with young white girls that are 7-10.

Most of my previous posts were usually pretty short and very vague about my situation. They were mainly used for ranting, so I didn't expect anyone to read them. Then, I began to realize from being on this website, that this would be a safe enviornment to talk about things. So, here it goes; I am a teen girl, who began getting sexually abused by my step brother in the seventh grade. It went on for two years, until I finally told my mom, which she refused to do any thing, because she didn't want to leave her boyfriend. I am now living with my Dad, and my mom and her boyfriend are now married. The last couple years have been a huge roller coaster of events, from my maternal grandmother dying, my Dad getting custody over me, my little sister getting beaten by my mom, and me finding the two things that I have eternally fallen in love with; Zachary and roller derby. I want my junior year to be the mark of my synapse. I know I still have a long way to go, and I will still have troubles ahead, but this time, I will fight.'; data[4]['blog_time'] = 'Mon, 21 Jul 2014 02:00:08 -0400';
