10. And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?

(kind of a rant) My SD13 and I met 3 years ago while we were battling a court case and gaining full custody. After what she went through and my husband not being able to see her for so long we gave her pretty much everything she wanted as when she came to us she had virtually nothing. Clothes and shoes didn’t fit properly, no jewelry or anything, no art supplies or toys. So we kinda went ham for the holidays and everyday life. She was a pretty good kid up until a couple of months ago.

Now keep in mind its not just buying things, ive done everything in my power to have a good relationship with her. Staying up all night to talk her through nightmares, doing her hair every morning and teaching her how to as well, brushing my teeth with her every night until she got into a routine to do it herself, enrolling her in a better school that doesn’t send busses out and driving her back and forth every day, and packing specialized bentos.

Yet every time I try to correct her, or discipline her at all she goes absolutely nuclear. Every time she claims I don’t love or care about her, and that im not her real mom and she doesn’t have to listen to anything I say. Thats Im a “piece of shit bitch” and compares me to her bio mom (abuser) Because I took her phone for not doing something she was expected to do.

She does not have a hard life, the only expectations she has is to go to school and pass, and keep her room clean. And she doesn’t even keep her room clean. Its not like we’re always on her anyways. Probably 3% of the conversations we have are disciplinary related. I do everything for her and get treated like shit in return. We had a talk about it all three of us and it was crazy.

Its always been her choice to have me as a mom or not, and nows she’s saying she wants all the good and none of the bad. She wants to be able to berate me and have no consequences while I continue to do everything for her. She was shocked when we gave her a resounding no. And Im at a loss of what to do. Stepping back right now and letting my husband handle the daily stuff. Sometimes things are great yet she’s claiming they never were and I cant handle the back and forth. The “i never liked you your not my mom” then three days later a tearful apology again and again.

Also going nuclear and throwing tantrums when something doesn’t immediately work out for her especially in the morning. stomping around the house and cussing because she cant find a shirt or something. Honestly Im just emotionally tired. Im fearful shes starting to replicate behavior from her narcissistic bm.

Someone recommended me The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife and I ended up binging all 12 episodes in a day and I loved it! But now i’m sad there isn’t a season 2. Does anyone know of any anime’s like this where they actually have an adult relationship? Also the dynamic of them is sooo cute. I loved that the mc isn’t shy and is such a gentleman and it didn’t take the entire season for them to hold hands 😭

Romance animes Ive watched.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Im looking for a romance where the guy isn’t a complete shy mess whenever he’s around the female protagonist and it doesn’t take until the end of the show for them to hold hands. (and isn’t a harem 😭) Maybe with a little spice too

I also really like slice of life adventure anime’s.

Ive really liked these anime’s too so something similar to any of these on the list would be good as well!

Hunter x Hunter

Im stepmom to a 13yo teen girl and I’ve noticed some new behaviors recently and I’m unsure if they’re typical behavior for a teenager or if I should be concerned. She has been asking about once a day to go to a store, or a friend’s house. Which is fine but after she will expect to go to another store, and another etc. Then genuinely gets upset when she is told no and requests to go tomorrow. She has been starting arguments that we aren’t spending enough time together (on weeks when we aren’t doing anything involving spending money/eating out) even if we have talked at home or done activities that she enjoys together frequently that week. Also something new is freaking out randomly about all the times she’s been in trouble. (We don’t even regularly restrict privileges most of the “consequences” are a long discussion about what she did wrong and how she can do better in the future and what the consequences of her actions were. If the conversation fails and behavior doesn’t change then we’ll restrict privileges like phone, eating in her room, or going to a friend’s house) Ive tried explaining if she doesn’t want to get in trouble she doesn’t have to, and its a consequence of behavior. I told her everyone messes up sometimes in life but when she’s older that everyone won’t give you the same amount of grace from mistakes as they do now. She’s struggling with being imperfect, which nobody is, and is lashing out because of it. Now she is claiming she doesn’t care about anything and is forcing facial expressions , which I know is untrue because of her therapist notes and past actions. (she previously faked panic attacks at school when she would stay up talking with friends late into the night which at the time was every day, the way the therapist knew is because she was able to stop a panic attack at will when another student walked by while in the counselors office) And right before that conversation she had been cackling with me over a video game that we were really invested in. She does have issues in some areas because of her past but overall seems to be a happy kid with some issues with anger and anxiety. And I know some problems have been caused by one of her friends who is a pathological liar, she’s faked cancer, mental hospital visits, and a whole bunch of other things and im constantly talking with her mom to try and console my kid about these fake issues. I really need advice on how I should address all these things that are happening.
