Extreme Body Odor Dilemma

  • πŸ’‘ OP's college classmate has a severe and persistent body odor, described as a strong barn-like smell, which causes OP to become nauseous and even vomit.
  • πŸ“Œ Despite OP's attempt to address the issue privately via text, the friend's hygiene habits did not improve, leading to a public outburst during a late-night study session.
  • ⚠️ OP felt compelled to confront the friend directly after throwing up, questioning how she couldn't notice her own odor, to which the friend responded she was "forgetful."

Family Relocation and School Drop-offs

  • 🏠 OP's brother, his wife Rose, and their daughter moved in due to home maintenance issues, creating a need for school transportation.
  • πŸš— Rose asked OP to take their six-year-old daughter to school daily, but OP's irregular healthcare shifts make this commitment impossible.
  • πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ OP suggested Rose walk her daughter to school, a 15-minute walk, but Rose deemed it too far, leading to conflict with OP's brother and mother.

Family Photos and Marital Conflict

  • πŸ–ΌοΈ OP, a "picture person," has numerous family photos displayed in her home, including those with her son Gavin's ex-partner, Helena, and their son Tommy.
  • 😠 Gavin asked OP to remove photos of Helena to make his new wife, Cherry, more comfortable, which OP refused, citing it as her home and family history.
  • πŸ’” Cherry's alleged jealousy over the photos is reportedly affecting her treatment of Tommy, causing conflict for Gavin and pressure on OP.

Sister's Dangerous Behavior and Parental Neglect

  • ⚠️ A 16-year-old OP describes her 17-year-old sister as having lifelong mental health and behavioral issues, making her dangerous and causing a toxic home environment.
  • πŸ€• The sister has a history of violence, including physically harming OP, yet parents avoid involving authorities like CPS or police.
  • βš–οΈ OP feels unsafe and has told her parents they must choose between her and her sister, stating she would rather run away and that she doesn't care if her sister dies if it means her own safety.
