TIFU By saving my sister from my father

Today I F'd up by saving my sister's life from my father, my Father (M 40, also ex military) has always been hard on me (M22) as I am not his biological son. Abuse, Assault, The abuse horror stories you might imagine. Today was supposed to be my sister's graduation party (F 19) as she just graduated high school. All was well till an argument Started over absolutely nothing. I thought nothing of it till I came outside again and saw him pinning her to the ground, marks on his vehicle that show a face imprint as if he threw her into the side of the car, blood on her face and all, as I approached he put his legs on either side of her neck and began to crush her neck. This is when I stepped in and quite literally threw this 250 - 300 pound man like 10 feet. This is when I unintentionally took the anger on myself not realizing it. I helped my sister up and everything seemed to calm down. (Side note I still live at home as finding income that can actually support the purchase of a house is nearly impossible anymore). The party all goes into town to a hotel to use the pool and some family is staying there. I assisted my sister in packing to leave as she stayed behind after that due to not wanting to be anywhere near my father. She is currently staying with a friend in the same city and she is working in getting an apartment in town. Now this morning I woke up early to say bye to all the extended family that came to town for her graduation and my younger brother (M 10) comes to me and obviously choking back tears says "Heads up they are kicking you out today" and I thanked him and immediately got to preparing. My mother (F 40) comes to me and simply says "Get out, Find a ride" as my car is currently broken down and I was working in fixing it before this mess happened. So now I write this crashing on a buddies couch and I only have 3 weeks. No job thanks to not having a way to it, not enough money to fix my vehicle, no vehicle, a time limit on the roof over my head, and a sister of which my parents want to find and I am stressed as to what they may try if they do find her.

TL;DR I stepped in on a fight and potentially saved her life from my father and I am the one who got kicked out.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
