My mom cheated on my dad and now’s she’s pregnant

Unfortunately yes you read that right. My mom cheated on my dad (step dad) and now’s she’s pregnant. She won’t get an abortion because she had a miscarriage when she was 17 and she was sad about it, but her guy she’s cheating on my dad with wants to pay for it. I want to get out and be away from all of this but I’m 16 (turning 17 at the end of September) and I don’t know what to do. My family will be ruined and there’s no way for her to be able to support 2 teens and a newborn.

If/when my dad finds out or she gives birth it will be very obvious she had an affair because my dad is fixed and the guy she cheated with is black and my family is definitely white…

And for the Reddit guidelines thing no I know I’m not pregnant I wasn’t asking…

SPILLED NAIL POLISH IN MY COACH BAG!! PLEASE HELP!

Well, there’s not much explaining to do the title pretty much says it I spilled nail polish in my coach bag. I left my bag in the hot car at work, which I think is the reason why it came off so much out of the bottle cause it melted and it spilled all over, I don’t know how to get it out. I’ve been using nail polish remover and carpet cleaner and nothing‘s working. I pulled the pocket out so u can really see what my situation is.

What should I do if I’ve been trying to get my license for a year and now I’m almost 17?

Okay, some context. I used to get in a lot of trouble last year and the years before. I had two MIPs, but they treated the 2nd one as a first one for some reason, but I’m so lucky they did. I’d never do any school work; I was always high, also needed nicotine, or I was mean, and I got kicked off the cheer team. I never did acid or drank those were just examples of what I could be doing now if I didn’t care about improving and kept falling down that rabbit hole. Until my parents could see I could be sober and responsible, I couldn’t get my permit. I went to ADAPT and finally quit all of my bad habits, almost ended the year with a 4.0, got back in the cheer team, dropped some people, became friends with people, became my coach’s biggest success story (originally they weren’t going to let me back on, but I was able to prove myself with support), and got so many academic awards and achievements. I will admit my parents have been somewhat supportive and proud of me, but only if I show them my achievements. I just don’t feel like they appreciate it as much as they could. I feel like they only point out my flaws, but they have to search for them.

Every time I ask to get my license it’s an excuse of:

You need more time behind the wheel (they rarely let me drive until recently and both have said I’m a good driver?)

She lost her mom in a car accident (reasonable fear especially since it wasn’t her mom fault, the car came off an off ramp and on top of her due to medical is that happened while driving)

I don’t want to pay for insurance

You don’t have a car to drive

Your dad won’t fix his truck or sell it so we can have a vehicle for you

(I offer to buy my own car) I don’t want to add more cars to my insurance

Gas prices are too high

I don’t trust you driving by yourself

You’re never going to tell me where you’re going I’ll only know because of Life360

Mind you, I offered to buy a car and pay for gas. Today I called my mom and asked if my boyfriend can teach me how to drive a manual so I could drive my mom’s Jeep and get my license to get back and forth to cheer, which she said she’d pay for, and I’ll pay for the rest. She said that’s fine, but if I want my license so bad, I should just buy myself a car. I told her I’ve offered this, and she shut me down, saying she didn’t want to add more vehicles to her insurance… when I told her that she told me that was in my head and I’m having conversations with myself??? Then she said I could walk to cheer, but we live next to a highway, and there is a human trafficker in town who just got out of jail, so I told my mom I don’t want to get kidnapped, and she told me, “Don’t worry, I’m not pretty enough.” I stayed quiet for a solid 2 minutes, then she said she’s going to go and hung up. A few minutes later, she texts me, “I love you. You’re welcome,” and that’s where these screenshots begin.

Also, so sorry for the grammar. I’m 16, and I rushed this… My birthday is in September, and I’ll be 17. I got my permit last August before my 16th birthday. Plus I did Drivers Ed so insurance is cheaper and all I have to do is walk in and give them a paper, pay, and take my picture.

Who’s in the wrong and how do I help?

Okay a little context! These are messages send to me by my friend between her and her now ex bf. We are all in Highschool. Her dad took his life this year so her and her family moved to New Mexico to be with other family. She went online for school and has only been there for a bit, but is supposed to come back in two months. Her and her bf have been together for 2 years but last week they broke up because he wanted a break until she was back and she didn’t want to take a break so she said either wait or they’re done. They chose to be done. Also I apologize for the amount of pics… if you want the last 5 I’ll post them too

Key:
Red/Stop sign= is her ex bf
Blue= her ex bf’s best friend
Orange= her ex bf’s best friend’s gf
Black= my friend
Pink= her friend
Purple= irrelevant people
(I really hope I got all names crossed out)

I KEEP GETTING UTIS BUT I DO EVERYTHING RIGHT

I (16F) keep getting UTIs no matter what I do. I have been with my boyfriend (16M) for a year and five months. Through those five months I have experienced several UTIs, like pretty much UTIs through the whole year and five months being together. I’m not sure what is causing it as we do everything correct. I pee right after sex, wipe front, wipe down there with a wet napkin or summer's eve
Simply Sensitive® pH-balanced cleansing cloths, and at home I use Honeypots pH balance, cleansing wash, and then I use all my other regular shower things too. Ive been on the depo shot since me and him first started in the first month. Sometimes we use condoms sometimes we don’t. Sometimes I let him cum in me sometimes I don’t. Sometimes we use lotion, Vaseline or lube, and sometimes we don’t. I’ve been using water-based lube by ONE or Astroglide. It seems like no matter what I do I always get a UTI. I’ve tried all kinds of medicines and cranberry pills and pineapple and nothing works! The doctors wouldn’t listen to me when I kept telling them that I’m doing everything correct and they just keep prescribing me medicine and I’m not sure what to do anymore. I know I don’t have STDs cause I get tested every three months. We’re thinking about getting him tested for whatever might be causing the UTIs, but we don’t want his parents finding out that he’s getting tested. What do I do?

I just went to the doctor last week, after I just got over a UTI within this past month, and was told I have another UTI and was prescribed more medication, but my test results came back was invalid?? I’m also struggling with heart rates up to 113-130 bpm but was told that’s just because of my UTI…

What Do I Do If My Mom Is Cheating On My Dad?

I’ve never done this before so give me grace. For the sake of identity I’ll give everyone an emoji because I don’t know what name to give everyone. I’m 🐝 F (16) and my mom is 🐻 F (35) my step dad is 🦁M (44). My mom is currently cheating on my stepdad with 🐼 M (46) and I don’t know how to feel. This started about a month or two ago. I was at my boyfriends house 🐵 M (16) and we were laying in his bed when suddenly I get a call from my mom asking “If someone needed plan B could you get it for them?” My heart drops because already I know she’s lying. I ask for who and she just says we listen and we don’t judge then proceeds to repeat her question. I let her know I don’t have plan b because I have it to a friend a while ago. She keeps asking her question then finally breaks down crying and admits she needs plan b and she cheated on my stepdad and didn’t use protection. I ask her with who and where is she. She tells me she’s at her office (where she did the act) and it was with this guy I remember hearing previous stories of him flirting with her, bringing her food, and even kissing her. She never had given into anything according to her, but her friend told her she should since her and my stepdad aren’t sexually active anymore and aren’t very romantic towards each other anymore. Me and my mom had a convo earlier that day about my stepdad cheating on her in her earlier years of dating, and his porn addiction, and possible cheating within the last 4 years. I told her she’s a grown women and strong and independent and can leave him anytime if she feels the need, but I wasn’t expecting this.

I turn my boyfriend who’ve I been dating a little over a year, and tell him to get his keys we have to get my mom. We stop at my house and I grab $50 and I try to avoid looking/talking to my stepdad because I’m feeling so guilty even though I didn’t do anything. We get my mom from work and talk to her for a while and get her plan b and she starts to feel better and then we take her back to work and we go back to my boyfriend’s house and that was that. I try to be supportive of her but I also don’t really want to talk about it.

Since then I’ve met him a few times, he knows my mom’s married. I met him once with my boyfriend at goodwill, where he works, and once at claw machine place with my mom’s friend and her son(8) and my sister(14) and mom. But besides that I hadn’t heard too much from him.

A little later my stepdad and stepbrother(16) and my sister go to a different town to watch race cars, but I wasn’t interested so I asked to stay home, especially since my mom and I haven’t spent much time together recently. Once they leave she takes me to dinner but explains she has plans with 🐼 and she’s been waiting for my dad to be gone. She starts going into detail about their sex life like it’s normal. I tried to change the convo a few times but nothing worked. She said we could hang out after she has sex with 🐼 but we have to go because right now is the only time she can. So she drops me off at home and spends two hours with this guy. I kept texting her asking if we can follow through with our plans, but by then they were closed. She comes home around 9 and takes me to the dollar store for a project and she tells me about her night and that was the end of the night.

Fast forward to now. I hate watching my parents interact like everything is fine when my dad has no clue. A few days ago my stepdad’s mom died so he’s been upset and hasn’t really been doing much so my mom can’t get out without him asking to come too. Last night my mom had plans to have sex with 🐼 but she was also house sitting for her friend so he was supposed to meet her there and I was supposed to take my dad to the race track but I explained multiple times I wasn’t interested in going and it didnt make sense for me to ask. So she was going to have him stay home with me, so I agreed. As she was leaving he followed her out the door anyways and I couldn’t really do anything to keep him home. So today after my dad’s softball game I’m supposed to keep him distracted while she’s gone, but I’m supposed to go fishing with my boyfriend. What do I do?
