As you might know by now, I'm a story faker on Reddit, or I was. I haven't even opened Reddit in days and I'm detoxing.

However, I wonder what are your opinions on fake Reddit stories. Some people seem to take them very seriously, but I don't know what a bigger amount of people think about it. Do you care? You don't care? You find them entertaining? Or it makes you upset when you discover a story is fake?

What if you realized a story that deals in heavy topics turns out to be fake? Something that real people might have real trauma about?

I'm kinda beating myself for making so many fake stories and I'm overthinking a lot about what people really think about it, maybe I'm making it a bigger deal in my head than what it really is.

Because we have a kid together. I stay because of the kid. He likes having both of us at his side, not just me or her. Besides, I'm more of a mother to him than she ever was and he adores me, so I'm not about to leave him with her (the court will give custody to her by default, I'd have to fight for him, and that will cost, A LOT, which is burned money, he can decided when he's 12 who he wants to live with, I'll stay around till then).

You are absolutely correct. Whatever postive sides she might have (there are, but they're not that many to be honest) are completely overshadowed by her toxic personality.

I hope it ends well for you. Good luck.
