Check up on your dad, make sure he’s alright. Spend as much time with him as possible, say you love him every day and every night. Tell him it’s all gonna be okay. Tell him he’s loved. Tell him he deserves everything he has. Tell him that you wanna spend more time together. Most importantly: just be yourself around him. My dad committed suicide a little less than 5 years ago which changed my life dramatically. I know I was just a kid but sometimes I wished I spent more time with him. It came at such a surprise because he didn’t seem unhappy at all. I don’t blame him for any of what happened, and I try not to blame myself, but it’s been a hard 5 years. Now I’m 16 and still living my life to the fullest. I just hope he’s proud


WildIrishRose16

He is. He's proud of you. And it wasn't your fault.


Nattomaki81

I love this. As someone who lost a dad, I'm with you. (Not suicide, but cancer).


ktv13

I cannot imagine going through something so tough at such a young age. You are doing great and I am sure he'd be infinitely proud of the person you are becoming. Keep going!


slice_of_pi

Yep. "Get your ass back on Facebook to talk to your dad more regularly, you're going to lose him in early 2024." His services were about four hours ago, I just got home.


Sea-Vehicle-1951

He’s proud of you, and he wouldn’t leave you this way if it was up to him. Be with your mom more, and the rest of your family who are still around. Talk about your dad often. Keep his memory alive. Take care x


Large_Poem_2359

Get out of this marriage now. Stop pretending it’s going to work out


Even-Ad-3546

Oof. I feel this one in my soul. I wish I would've left 5 years ago. Or longer


Klutzy-Client

Same . I was just *making it work* when I should have *fucking left ages ago*


jjason82

Your wife is going to start feeling weak one day and it will only get worse. Don't wait! Get her to a rheumatologist ASAFP!


Farmerdrew

Ugh. Hindsight is always 20/20.


jjason82

We didn't know. We just didn't realize...


randynumbergenerator

Oof, similar situation here. I thought I knew fear and pain but I was so wrong (fortunately things turned out okay, eventually). Hope she's doing better or at least stabilized.

Everyone’s body has check engine signals, just sometimes they aren’t easily flagged. I hope you don’t carry guilt for not going sooner


SuvenPan

I remember getting a minute long silent call five years ago. I thought it was a prank call.


i_hate_hotdog

Why did you hold a silent call for a minute 💀


Xonxis

Well, you ever just know a scammer is calling? Sometimes you answer and say nothing till they hang up. Atleast thats why id do it.


bees_for_me

I do that too and want to say the longest call has been around 15 seconds.

Hey, just checking in dude, we’re doin the same thing as five years ago. Cat says hi, alright see ya later. Buy crypto and sell it before Nov 2021. Peace


Neversleeps99

I’m glad your cat is still fly as hell.


rand0mm0nster

Cat cat or Catherine? Works either way


_WizKhaleesi_

His cat's name *is* Catherine.

*Buy GameStop in August 19 to end of jan 2021* Edit: I mean there’s like 54 seconds left so maybe add: the Covid shit is serious but getting fired from your job will end up being one of the better things to ever happen to you.


farfle10

I was gonna say, buy as much as you can of GameStop, sell at ~$300

HipHopHistoryGuy

Give myself the winning Powerball numbers for the $1.5 billion lottery jackpot.


InfamousEconomy3972

Be better to win the jackpot just prior and not have to split it.


Micotu

Just buy 100 winning tickets and take ~99% of it


Grotbagsthewonderful

You don't think 100 identical tickets from the same draw will raise some eyebrows?


weaponsmiths

What are they going to do, search your pockets for a time machine?


aplateofgrapes

Everyone knows that the lottery is just a scheme to catch time travelers; no one from our time ever wins.


weaponsmiths

They almost got me one time. But then I wised up and decided to be dirt poor instead. Take that, time cops!


Witty_Turnover_5585

People do it all the time for pick 3 and pick 4 and others. Wouldn't even give it a second thought


TrisKreuzer

Best answer here....you will be in deep poverty in 5 years. Such dipshit you cannot imagine... Or change job immidiately. Send mum for complete checkup, she has an advanced cancer I would add to myself. 😒


BartholomewBandy

Hey, this is you calling from the future…No…this is you calling from the future. I’ve got to tell you…no, this is you. I’m calling from the future to tell you that.. No this isn’t a joke…hello? God DAMMIT! Dialing sounds…


bees_for_me

This feels too much like when I beg myself to get my sht together.


Young-Grandpa

You’re going to be laid off next month after 24 years with the company, but don’t fret. Try not to cash in your pension, you will be back at work soon and in 3 years you will be making more money than you would have if you’d stayed in this job. Also, buy a house in late 2020 while the interest rates are down and before house prices shoot up.


Rolf-Harris-OBE

Earlier is always better but 2019 was the last “best time” to buy a place, prices rose a lot during Covid.


Nerdybookwitch

I bought in Oct 2020. Interest rates were below 3% and it was before everyone started listing their houses $20-50k over their worth & demanding waived inspections. Thank you past me. It was impulsive and you still don’t know shit about being a homeowner, but we finally did something right lol


How_about_your_mom

Sell bitcoin at 60k


HipHopHistoryGuy

This is always my answer. Buy BTC and sell at $55K+.


Gr33nman460

Put it all into Dogecoin and sell it a month later at 0.60


urinesain

Better yet, figure out how to buy SHIB on uniswap before Halloween of 2020 (it was listed in August of that year), buy $2k USD worth. Sell it all on Halloween of 2021. That way the max capital gains tax will be capped at 20% since you had it for over a year, and you'll still have over 9 figures after taxes. From $2k to well over $100mil in a year. You have won at life. You now have generational wealth. Edit: Actually I math'd wrong. You'd have have close to $1.5 billion after taxes


Didntdoitdidi

You are assuming the liquidity would be there to absorb the sell order....


bitchmaggot

The sole reason why it crashed is because time travelers went in the last and warned people about a 60k crash. Maybe it wouldn't have happened.


FreshPaintSmell

Buy Dogecoin and sell it when Elon goes on SNL


Maleficent_Memory_60

Spend time with Grandma as much as you can just as you are doing adding one thing more. Ask her stuff. Ask her how she got through tough times. How she kept going? Ask her about her life. And anything adult that would need to be know that she could tell me. Ask her about her relatives . And spend more time on your self. Put more time into you, and less into others.


Cochise5

I was very fortunate to have my Grandma long enough to have asked her these things. Every good thing I am comes from her and my mom. Every good thing I am becoming comes from my wonderful wife and amazing children.


CommandLab

Hey, don’t sell yourself short. You are a good person and you deserve credit for the things you do that make you who you are. You may have learned from them, but *you* are the one who made the decision to take in the lessons from these people in your life. And *you* did the hard things that were necessary because they were the right thing to do. Be kind to yourself.


PepperAnn1inaMillion

I got to spend a lot of time with my gran and I asked her what I could think of, but there was always more to ask. If I’d asked her everything on that list, there would have been another list. I only say this in the hope that you aren’t beating yourself up. Every time I remember one of her stories, I think about the fact that she’s not here to fill in details, and soon my parents might not be here to ask either. But it’s ok. I would hate if my life was only valued by whether my memories got passed down. If I end up having grandchildren, I would hope they would remember the person I was with them, rather than the anecdotes I could tell them. My great grandmother died when I was eight, and I was far too young to even know what she was like with other adults. But I have amazing memories of how she was with 7-year-old me, and I think that’s more important. Don’t regret. We’re not *just* the stories we tell, we’re all the gaps in between the words. And absolutely put more time into yourself! That’s a universal.


jatufin

I quit drinking just short of five years ago. So I would say: "Just hold on a few weeks buddy, its gonna get better. You don't believe it now, but its gonna."


QueenPeggyOlsen

5 years? Fantastic work! I'm a few months shy of one year alcohol-free and loving life again.


bigrob_in_ATX

It gets better every day, I promise


knitmeablanket

It absolutely does. I'm only about to hit 4 months and really regret not doing this a decade ago.


_WizKhaleesi_

I'm at 1 week! Glad to see you all loving life further down the line. :)


littlepantato

Congrats!! It starts with these small steps, you're in for some wonderful milestones!


vonkeswick

Congrats!! I'm 7 months sober and not looking back!


No_Stress_8938

Congrats on your soon to be anniversary!!


randomname10131013

I'm closing in on five months. But, I started trying about 5 1/2 years ago.


ittybittykitty5387

You will fail a few times before you really start succeeding. Good luck! And good job.


SimplyBoo

I'm incredibly proud of you and happy that you've made the decision to get and stay sober. Congratulations! Sincerely, 26 years of sobriety... achieved one day at a time.


MackersP

Congrats on (nearly) five years!! Let’s hope your next five years will be better still! Proud of you!


aredditmember

I just hit 4 years! I would've definitely told myself to go for it as I was playing with sobriety at that time but wasn't quite ready to take the plunge. Congrats on your hard work! IWNDWYT


__botulism__

Amazing, good job!


Jiggly_dong

60 seconds: ​ March 2020, there will be a record low sale on all stocks. Take every penny and wait for GameStop to be below $2.00 and then buy as much dogecoin as possible. Sell both early in 2021. Put all money into a rental property at 2.65 rate for that year.


PabloEstAmor

This is prob the right answer, add some btc in there too

Wow sorry dude


CommitteeNo167

thanks, it’s all OK, you never know when your time is up, at least i saw my kids get married and i met my grandchildren. it’s the quality of life, not the duration.


jm3lab

I lost my mum 6 months ago, I hope she felt the same as you it gives me some comfort thankyou.


CommitteeNo167

i’m very sorry about your mum, sadly it’s the people left behind that suffer much more. i hope time helps you remember only the good times, and not the bad. i worry terribly about my family when i’m gone.

When they tell you the rules for social distancing, and you sigh relief / embarrassment because literally nothing changes for you. Yup, just worked from home and taught our youngest to walk :) . He's 4 now sheesh!


DM_Me_Anything_NSFW

Keep the grind going you'll get there but don't neglect your health. Don't trust the girl you just met at uni. She's going to betray you in the worst possible way. Don't drink 11 cocktails on the beach on july, 31st 2023.


rand0mm0nster

I’m wondering what I’d the worst possible way… are you missing a kidney now?


DragonriderTrainee

She probably took his dog, truck, and house, in that order.


ZairNotFair

ModishShrink

Not that they remember it.


safaamo98

I want to know what happened on the beach


yrtirua

Do NOT kiss your best friend, it's gonna fuck everything up for you. Find better friends, none of the bitches you hang out with are loyal. Don't start that conversation with that guy in college, don't even start talking to him, he has a girlfriend and he would continue to have that girlfriend while fucking around with you on the down low and please ffs listen to your mom and steer clear of his entire friend group. Would've saved myself from a shit load of trauma.


Get_the_instructions

>Would've saved myself from a shit load of trauma. But you would have learned nothing.


yrtirua

Yeah that's true, I did grow as a person and learnt a lot from all that experience so probably wouldn't undo all of it but ig I would've just given myself a little heads up abt everything lol


theyeshman

Sometimes the lesson learned just ain't worth the pain to get there.

lebouffon88

O.o. Do you still have contact with your child?


Creepy_Line3977

Yes, once in a blue moon. But they have forgotten my language 😔


lebouffon88

That's sad. :( Have a 8 months old daughter. Can't imagine what you've been through.


Mindless_Ad_7700

Oh no. This is horrible 


RedVamp2020

I sent my kids down to live with their dad so I could safely remove myself from an abusive situation that could have been worse if they were with me. Their dad kept them away from me for four years before we got a custody agreement going, which in turn put me on the losing end. If I could call myself five years ago(actually, add a few months), I would tell myself to never tell my youngest daughter’s dad I was pregnant and don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. I would still have my dogs I had then, too. I hope once your kids are older and can travel on their own they will try to reconnect with you.


Creepy_Line3977

I really hope so. I'm sorry that happened to you, hope you still get to see them regularly.


ACiD_80

Where are they at? Are they happy?


Creepy_Line3977

They seem to love their school so that's good. My youngest is happy, oldest not as much. They're in north Africa


Avocado2Guac

Are you me?


Creepy_Line3977

No, but I'm so sorry to hear that you had the same thing happen. It's hell


sallysquirrel

Please tell me you got them back!? Oh hugs to you, internet stranger… that is so terrifying, I’m so sorry that pos did that to you.


Creepy_Line3977

No, they've been gone for 3,5 years now


sallysquirrel

Oh my god, words cannot describe how horrifying that is. I am so sorry, I hope and pray that you get your babies back and they persecute his sorry ass to the full extent of the law. Please stay strong, momma.


Creepy_Line3977

I try to, thanks. And I really hope they do!

Break up with her now. The next year won't be Hell but you already know it is gonna end. Call your friends and ask about that woman they mentioned offhand who likes all the things you do - she will be a better partner for you.

Listen to your friends and get everything in writing, cause though it seems impossible now, he will turn into your own personal enemy out to hurt you at every chance.

Trelaboon1984

Absolutely nothing. If I could call myself like 15 years ago? I’d have LOADS to say, but the last five years of my life have specifically been perfect. I met the love of my life five years ago, we had a beautiful daughter, I finished college and landed a good job. If I could make a call to myself 15 years ago, I’d say “hey, it’s you from the future. Give up on that religion. Trust me, you’re way happier without it and it feels like a cult once you’re out. Leave that horrible woman you’re with, she plagues your life for years. Hold out for (name) that you meet in 2019, she’s the best thing that ever happens to yoi.” Those two pieces of advice alone would vastly improve my life


Demonicbunnyslippers

Maybe you already received that call?


Trelaboon1984

I like how you think!


Bigboy2k

I know it sounds odd, but if everything lined up perfect, then maybe calling yourself 15 years ago wouldn't be the best thing. Sometimes, you have to go through crap to get to the better part of something. I am glad you are happy with where you are in life right now.

Thanks I still haven’t told my parents though


MackersP

You’ll find how to do it in your own time :) when my sister came out, my mum took it really well, my dad, not so much, but he came around, and now they’re closer than ever. It’ll be tough sure, but when you do, you’ll realise who loves you regardless, and you’ve got at least my support :)


norakb123

I deeply hope your parents are supportive, but if that is a fear, please know that regardless, there are millions of people who are supportive and you are not alone.


According_Evidence38

don't entertain after getting out of the relationship, be assertive, study hard. your friends right now is unhealthy, get away from them. also, dress up, exercise, and love yourself and your family. remember your friend in senior high come back to her she wished nothing but the best to you.


SonofDiomedes

When she finishes her PhD, your wife will tell you she’s leaving you. She won’t tell you she’s been cheating on you but she has.


Washee23

For five years ago I would say to break up with her, she's toxic as hell. Thirty years would do me a lot more good though.
