IIRC the first post was confirmed as fake due to discrepancies in OP's posting history. In this story he claims he’s from Puerto Rico and moved to NYC in 1984, while in another post OP claimed he was Pakistani living in London but born in France. Plus I don't know any Puerto Ricans that describe Hispanic or Latino teens as "spanish".

OP: "And yes, I kept the RV."

Everyone: "Good."

Not a writer but an avid reader and I can say you ABSOLUTELY can see when writers go through major life events. When a writer “finds god” the characters will suddenly find religion (Anne Rice), if they are trying for a baby, the fmc will get pregnant (SJM), if they go through a divorce the FMC will suddenly have every male after them (Laurel k Hamilton) ANY time characters suddenly start contradicting themselves or their behavior from previous books, take a look at what’s going on in the authors life and you can generally find a direct correlation.

I think one of the most abusive and toxic things a spouse can do is gas light you into thinking you are the gas lighter.

As someone who has personally suffered from severe B-12 deficiency, it can be terrifying. Long term lack of B12 can cause skin sores (it looked like I had cold sores in/on my mouth, but I do not have the herpes simplex virus) and ultimately nerve ending death. I have permanently last some of my hand coordination and I can no longer feel the bottom pads of my feet. Don’t do drugs kids.

For story two- why didn’t Tim just buy himself an RV if he wanted one so bad

My eldest is vegan. She has never ever enjoyed meat...so she doesn't eat it. I, "nag" her at least every other month to make sure she is getting enough protein and taking her vitamins. She just graduated from university last week, so it via text and probably received with an eye roll and, "yes dad...."

“Hot Firefighter Puts Out Fire In My Pants” 😂😂😂😂😂

Dude… if the YouTube gig ever fails you have a back up career writing trashy hilarious romance novels!

Today I learned that Dabney doesn't know you can write off travel expenses for rental properties

Last story, seems like OP kept the family in the divorce too with how badly she took it, wouldn't be surprised if the MIL disowned him on top of that. That aside, it says so much about OP's ex that he saw how broken his own mother was over adultery when he was growing up, only to do it himself and try to apologize to his mother over the woman actually hurt by it.

About story 1. Believe it or not, a lack of B12 in their diet can make hamsters eat their own young. So it can absolutely do this to a person.

[Zachcraftone]

Wait so a lack of B12 can mess with your personality to this extent!? Maybe that vegan teacher actually isn’t that insane, but just lacks B12 lol

[eloraandkhan]

regarding the RV fighting family: Back when I was first reading the first part of it, I'd bet he wants the RV because its more private than a hotel room and less of a paper trail. If he paid for a hotel room for 2 while his wife isn't there, then she would get suspicious (and there's the off chance that they'd call the house about anything after the hotel stay). I was not expecting it to be his ex!

"Hot firefighter puts out a fire in my pants" too much, Dapney

[jayylmau]

2nd story. Flying is tax deductible for business purposes, so it's fundamentally cheaper than driving lol. Still cheated tho, but still.

"Who won't let me touch the wheel" OF YOUR OWN RV? This guy is on a power trip.

9:09 another thing that’s kinda crazy, sorta related to the topic: UTIs have been linked to suicid*l ideation and mental health issues. If you or someone you know with overall good/stable mental health suddenly spirals and you have no idea why, that’s another thing to look into.

Story 1: As a vegetarian and breastfeeding. When my hair started turning gray. I was getting waves of anxiety. After some research, it was a lack of B12. I started eating more dairy, eggs, and postpartum vitamins. My anxiety slowed down, and my hair went back to normal.
