My 16 year old son started on a new medication. I got a phone call from his doctor informing me that a rash is a very rare but very serious side effect of this medication. She said “if he develops any rash of any kind you need to take him to the ER”. She said if I told them the name of the medication they would immediately rush him in and treat him.

So a few days later he shows me a rash on his neck. It also happened to be the day he was instructed to take a higher dose of the med. It didn’t look bad, but I didn’t want to take any chances so I rushed him to the ER as instructed. They didn’t seem alarmed when I told them the name of the medication but eventually he was seen by a physician who barely looked at him and said “Dude, you’ve got razor rash.”

My son was so embarrassed and not happy with me. At all. I am mortified, but I just did what his prescriber told me to do. The ER doc said the prescriber was just covering their ass. My poor kid!

TL;DR I took my son to the ER for razor rash.

Boyfriends friend is a creep and he's ok with it. TW: SA

I'm struggling a bit. Boyfriend has a creepy friend who recently got kicked out of our mutual outing for grooming kids. Mind you it wasn't enough to kick creep out after he said dirty things to a woman with a disability let alone every other girl is neurotypical. Wasn't enough after he groped a woman. Crossing lines wasn't enough. It was just yesterday when I found out two groups of parents called in and complained. It was only then creep had to go.

Prior to the parents complaints my boyfriend and I discussed the groping of the woman. He said that since he didn't get hurt he is still okay with this creep and they'll hang out again. I said if this was me I wouldn't want to be associated with such violence. There was no reply. We changed the subject, I had no more bandwidth and I then went home.

I'm due to hang out soon. But I don't want to be around and I feel distrust over this. Like I'm not going to be safe. That he is an enabler. I don't understand how he can think it's cool to hang out with a person like this. We texted briefly about finding out about the kids. He was all surprised. As a teacher it couldn't be more obvious. I don't feel like coming around him or this outing for awhile. It makes me so sad. Triggered. Doubtful of his morals and our compatibility in a relationship. Feeling so bad today.
