I received treatment, but nothing seemed to help. They eventually sent me for a full workup. It turned out there was no raccoon, no house noises, and no creepy pervert making the sound.

Story 5:
When I was a kid, I once faked a stomachache, so my granny would let me stay home. I’ve always been a bad liar, so she tried to call my bluff: she told me if I was too sick for school, then she’d be scheduling me a Dr’s appointment.
3 hours later, I was rushed into ER for immediate surgery. My fake illness was actually appendicitis, and it was so inflamed that if I hadn’t come in that day, my appendix would have ruptured. I felt 100% fine that day, so faking sickness actually saved my life.

Story 6:
My ex-boyfriend’s biological dad left when he was ten. He gave up his rights, and then his stepdad eventually adopted him. His stepdad used to talk so much about the bio-dad, saying that he wasn’t a real man for giving up his kids.
I found out after we broke up that the stepdad had an older child that he gave up the rights to, but he was still a man somehow. © idealisticb***h / Reddit
Story 7:
I was engaged to a guy and thought we had the perfect relationship. We never fought, we were planning to upgrade from our apartment to a nice house, and he had been there for my daughter since she was a baby.
Everything seemed great. One night, I went to bed while he stayed up to play video games, like he often did. When I woke up, the house was eerily quiet.
I couldn’t find him anywhere. At first, I thought he might’ve gone to the store—but then I noticed his computer, his absolute pride and joy, was gone. In its place was his apartment key and a note.
The note said he had never actually loved me, but he loved my daughter deeply, and leaving her was the most painful thing he’d ever done. He ended it by telling me not to try to find him. And just like that, he was gone.
