I revealed to my sister’s husband that she was cheating on him. My brother in law has always loved my sister more than she has loved him. She was a massage therapist, but after they got married, she wanted to stay home. My brother in law is a mechanic who opened his own shop at 24, and has become fairly successful. All of a sudden my sister is filing divorce and she’s trying to take their house(which he paid for), half of his shop, and she’s demanding alimony. This man has been my best friend since I was 14, and more of a friend to me than my sister has ever been. She had destroyed him emotionally, and now was wrecking him financially. I found out about her affair and I told him about it. He ended up getting proof and she walked away with almost nothing. Now she’s living paycheck to paycheck in a one bedroom apartment. I feel no regret.

TW// self harm & suicide i’m known as the “perfect girl” with a “perfect life” by everyone. my parents are still together. there are literally no problems in my family, everyone gets along really well. we aren’t struggling with money. i have all A’s. i was accepted into one of the top private schools in my state. i’ve been on homecoming court and i’ve been elected for a position in the student council. my parents do everything they can to give me an amazing life. but for some reason i feel so sad. i don’t know why and i feel so selfish but i feel sad. i feel like everyone hates me and like they would be better off without me. everyone thinks i’m perfect and my friends even tell me that i’m “the only mentally stable person” that they know. i’m scared of telling anyone else this after it got out and got to my parents. but since this is anonymous i wanted to let it out. i self harm and i relapsed so many times. i attempted 3 times in the past 2 years. obviously it didn’t work and i don’t plan on doing it again for now but i have thoughts about it. it sucks. and i feel so hopeless and helpless even more since no one can see it. i know this is selfish but sometimes i wish people would try and understand and talk to me
