I'm 23 years old. I moved back into my dad's place 8 months ago because my ex and I had a place together. Well, It didn't work out. My dad took me in and I'm forever grateful. He's a disabled Veteran that suffers from severe depression and he has other major health problems to where he's in the hospital from time to time. I've always been there for him and even stayed overnight in the hospital with him. I even got an accommodation for him at my job to where if he's in the hospital I can miss work but it won't count against me. He doesn't qualify for a caregiver so I take care of him when he's sick. I've been paying my share of bills, getting food and doing my share of chores so that I won't be laying around doing nothing after work and on my days off. I've been battling with severe PTSD due to many factors. Lately, I've been depressed because I don't get out much (besides work and the gym) so my therapist suggested I start getting out more and hanging out with friends. I brought this up with my dad and he said it was a great idea. So last Saturday, I went out with a friend. I told my dad about it. I honestly didn't know when I was coming home because my friend had many plans for us. My dad got furious and argued with me for a whole hour prior to me going out. He basically said that I didn't care about him and I can't be doing what I want. The thing is... I HARDLY go out with friends and I even asked him beforehand (even though I'm over 18) & he gave me permission. Last night, I went over to a friends house to watch some movies with her and a few other friends. I told my dad that I would be back no later than 10pm. Traffic got hectic due to a few accidents. I text him that I was going to be late. So now he's giving me the silent treatment. With my job

One married mum-of-three rakes in $57,800 a year by hugging total strangers. Jessica O’Neill, 35, started professional cuddling six months ago — and makes $1,100-a-week from her unusual side job.

She spent a decade working as a massage therapist and counselor before adding cuddles to the treatment list at her studio in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. O’Neill claims the hugs, which cost upwards of $60-an-hour, help lonely people and those suffering from depression feel loved and valued.

“Jason is very supportive and completely gets it. He loves what I do and thinks it’s really beautiful,” O’Neill said. “He is super affectionate and he gives me cuddles at home. Our relationship is what makes me so strong.”
