Long, long, long story short my moms boyfriend...well roommate at this point is such an asshole. He has manipulated and used my mom for 6 years for money. we now live w/ him in an apartment in his name and my mom pays all the bills. We don't live in a good school district so I'm homeschooled. I hate homeschool. And it's not like we can move because my mom has a small debt now. We're basically forced to stay here. It's all bc of him. He's a criminal who yells and threatens me. Plz tell me what to do:( he's made my mom depressed and idk what to do. This description doesn't even half way explain what we are going through. Any advice? Thanks

Example: so today I brought my friend home with me from school to hang out cause on Friday my mom said she could come over on Friday (2days ago) and when we were gonna come inside he said she's not welcome here because she said **** once and he heard it. And when she started walking home(4 miles away) he came to me and got really angry like "why didn't u tell me or your mom" and I was like "she said she could come over on Friday" and he was like well instead of asking your mom why don't you ask me" remember he has a scary tone to him, then he threatened me and my sister saying "if you guy tell any of this to your mom you will be in a lot of trouble"

I'm 12 years old and my brother's 15. He always starts randomly singing round the house and says weird things like, "I'll never stop playing my music!" and "Music is the only thing that keeps me going" and "Life is so hard right now!". I always hear him talking to himself in the room and when he listens to music he says, "But personally, I like a little bit of Mama Do The Hump". Like wtf. I know some kids are just weird but he's really weird. Also, one minutes he's his weird self and then the next he's crying on the floor threatening my mum with a knife. He's gonna end up in prison when he's older too. I'm sure of it.

So my husband and I have two sons (ages 10 and 8). The eldest is a ditto copy of me. He prefers the indoors with books, movies, TV, etc. He still runs around in games like tag but otherwise he's mostly sedentary. My second son is more active. My husband believes that our sons should be outdoors more often as well as more active (for my eldest son anyway) so he wants to take them fishing and hunting to establish their connection with nature. The kids don't really have a choice in going (my eldest son is more bitter about this than my second son who doesn't really mind), however I'm not sure where I stand exactly. My husband knows I have no interest whatsoever in the outdoors and has long given up on trying to get me more involved with the outdoors. Normally, I would agree, but I feel compelled to go just to be with my eldest son who would feel better if I come along. However when i voiced this to my husband, I could tell he was incredibly reluctant. He says I would not enjoy myself and would ruin the entire trip by my complaining so I had best not come. I tried to get my eldest son out of it, but he refused to listen to reason saying it is important for him to come along. I know my eldest son will hate everything about it. He has no interest in animals and I don't think he will be able to deal with killing them, and of course his interest in nature is even less. What should I do? BTW my husband is also taking his older brother with him to make it a male bonding trip.

There is a trip that my school will be taking to Europe and I so badly want to go. It's just a little over 4000 and a little over 5000 when you add lunch/snacks, spending money, and 10 for everyday day to tip the tour guide. (There are fundraiser's to do, and we have two years to do it). This has been been my dream for so many years and I really want to go. I would really like it as a 16tg birthday gift but that's in 5 months and there are only 38 spots open. What should I do? I really really really want to go.

Recently, my mom has gained money from selling a house, and now she's constantly spending it unnecessarily in small amounts. She's using it to "improve" our own home but its completely unnecessary and she don't understand her designs don't look good but doesn't reason, its like she arrogantly wants to spend for whatever reason. She also goes to the casino A LOT more, though she only plays the slots, it is making me mad that she does all this. should I care? I told her to stop but doesn't listen.

I have two sisters and im the oldest of them, im the brother. We moved down here to baltimore city from detroit, before all that; my mother wanted to control my life and everything. I moved out when i turned 21 and i got reconnected with my relatives that i have not been for a long time. I have my degree in graphic designing, got a steady job and plus i met a nice woman. My family live out in baltimore county while i live in the city, i work at a hospital just like my gf so my time is limited. I visit them numerous until i went back to school and got my life together.

Unfortunately, my dad has had a very unlucky experience with his first child. His former partner is somewhat insecure and due to this she has become herself very persuasive and manipulative. The cause of this is unknown however the results of this are extremely unbelievable. Way back in 1990 my dad and this before mentioned woman had a child together but they were not together at the time of the child's birth as they had grown apart. So my dad paid the mother of his child every month through the CSA to assure that the child was being looked after. However, what was going on when my dad wasn't seeing his daughter was that the mother was poisoning his child against her dad - including things such as saying he was a criminal (which he isn't), saying he is not giving her any money (which he was and more than he was required) and saying that he never wanted to see her (which he begged to see her for more than the measly every other weekend). Due to this over the years she started to become more bitter towards her dad. It has now been 9 years since anyone in my family has seen my sister despite the considerable amount of attempts to get in contact with her. I feel like I have no justice and that this woman has taken my sister away from my family. Does anyone know of ANYTHING I can do to even begin to get my sister back or to stop this woman from doing this as she has now done this to 2 different families. Please try and help me.

So my mom and I moved in with her friend because of money trouble, and She, (my moms friend) has a monthly mortgage of $900 + utilities. (now we split it) She does not make a lot of money, she says she "works for herself." First off, She's 49 and She gets up at 5:30 - 6:00 AM and leave for work at 10:00! Only works Tuesday - Friday She is very cheap, in EVERYTHING! She's an accountant and she works most of her job on the computer. BUT she still has the really old Microsoft Windows software, she wont even upgrade. The other day, her curtains on one of the windows broke, and she got mad and said "these cost me $300!" She doesn't cook anything, she pretty much everyday, has fast food, and when she DOES cook, it smells terrible. She got mad at me for using her toothpaste one time, even though it was a HUGE, Costco Brand tube of toothpaste. She ONLY likes Pixar Disney cartoons, like "Minions", and "Ice Age" Etc. So, good movies like "The Gift" or "Mad Max" don't appeal to her because she says its too "scary" She always sounds sarcastic, and whenever My mom wants to just talk, and relax, my moms friend ALWAYS turns it into a serious conversation about boring topics. And she likes a bunch Unbearable OLD tv shows. She doesn't care about ANY sport, besides Golf. And she has a brain melting, weird, crowd silencing Laugh. And, I know this is ALL random, but it just pisses me off.

I live with my mom and she's a single mom of to children. I'm 18 and my brother's 15. We both are the easiest child: we have good friends, don't go out to much, no alcohol, drugs or anything, healthy and everything. My brother's deaf and all her attention has always been on him. I don't see my dad anymore, but my brother does. I'm at my boyfriend's every weekend and otherwise I'm working or working on my blog in my bedroom. She's has alot of anger, I don't know what it is, put she keeps putting it on me and only me. I'm a dog walker and I walk dogs for at least 3 hours a day, everyday. I don't go to school right now because in january I'll be following a private course of animal behavior. She keeps insulting me because I don't go to school right now and don't work enough for her. I'm trying to find myself a second job, but it's hard right now. She's really putting me down and it makes me really sad 'cause I feel like I can't even talk when I'm around her because whatever I say she either won't listen, turn it around and make it about her, or insult me again. I NEVER confront her because I'm too shy or something... I feel really bad :( I just want to live somewhere else and she's the only family I have and I'd like to have a good realtion ship with her, but she makes it really hard. I don't know what to do :( Help me please because I've been taking it for 3 years and I can't anymore :(

He s been acting like a disrespectful little **** and my parents are annoyed by it. He stays in his room all day playing with his online friends. He doesn t sleep until really late, and he goes to school for at most 2 hours. He doesn t leave the house anymore. I want him to see that he s hurting our parents with his behavior and he s also hurting his future. How can I get through to him? He has this "I don t give a ****" attitude which makes things worse. What do I do?

Should I talk to her mom about getting her a vibrator or dildo?

This happen like 7 months ago but it's still weighing heavy on my conscious . One not I happen to wake up while he was standing at the edge of my bed. I can't remember if he was shirtless or had a T-shirt on. I was half a sleep. Ever since then I get a very dark and odd weary feeling about him. And after that happen the next day he had this very weird facial expression and very guilty look on his face like he knew he done something wrong. I am scared to go to sleep at night because I'm afraid he might try and do something to me. So I always stay up very late for the pass 7 months now. I also get very weird creepy vibes from him and my instinct is telling me that something is very wrong.

My problem is that I love computers and a bit gaming, mostly computers. The addiction is so big that my report card sucks. I m lazy as pig, can t move my nicky minaj s *** and always sit on computers. Also I had 300€ gain from my birthdays and wasted it on sweets 1 year ago *FACEPALM*. Please help my life is ******. Also I have no money and parents yell at me everytime. If I ever had a gun, gunshot would help me get the **** off this world. My parents suck too.... I m a real failure.

My 16 year old daughter got her first Summer job this year and since she has her own money now, I told her she can start buying her own clothing. But she ended up buying herself a lot of crop tops! She did get some more modest clothing for school too but whenever she's not going out for school she's wearing a top that bares her midriff. She got a belly button ring earlier this year so I imagine she's been wanting to show it off which I wouldn't mind but not if she's gonna do it almost every time we go out! Even at home she'll wear pajama tops that show her belly button. That's not nearly as bad but she has an 8 year old sister and I wouldn't want her getting the idea to dress the same way her big sister does. I finally talked to her about it yesterday when she went grocery shopping with me, wearing another one of her crop tops. She said she wears them because they're comfortable for her but I told her she needs to start wearing more modest shirts. At the same time, I don't want to tell her how to spend her money. My own mom used to do that to me all the time and I ended up resenting her for it. I'm proud that my daughter got a job this Summer, I didn't even need to tell her to get one. She earned that money and I want to respect that. So should I just start buying my daughter clothes again? I'm at a loss on how to handle this. I guess my main issue is the male attention she gets when she dresses like that in public. I noticed that when we were out shopping, grown men were shooting glances at her midsection! That's what finally led to me talking with her about it. I admire that my daughter is confident in her body and I really don't mind her showing it from time to time. All that I ask is that she tone it down a little and not wear crop tops all the time like she does, for her sake.

A young man in my 30s, I quit my stressful job because it was causing me hypertension- my doctor says my blood pressure (which is about 170/111) is to the point I need medication. I insisted it was stress. I am also 300 lbs, so yeah- I could also lose weight. My parents balked when I showed up at their doorstep insisting for a place to live. They said absolutely not. When I broke down in tears, My mother finally said "Fine! If you don't want to be homeless- you won't stay here. You'll stay with our friends Edna and Joe." Edna and Joe are older friends of my parents that live in a rural city in Minnesota. They agreed to let me live in a room with them as long as I worked in Edna's boring Yarn Store as a stocker and cashier. It's HORRIBLE! They believe in no Wi-Fi or television, so I have nothing to do at home. I have to work 6 days a week and only Sundays off, and I am forced to help out at their Church service. Minnesota is so boring I wish I could get my old job back. What in the hell am I to do? I am sort of stuck now (It's been 3 months). Edna won't even allow me to have guests unless it's supervised. I'm a grown man! What do I do?

I WORKED IT OUT MY MUM HAD ME AT 16 AND MY DAD IS 62 AND IM 14 NOW. this makes him a pedo right ? its really creeping me out ... help ?

My brother was doing decently on his own and had a fairly successful job and such. He met this lady at one of his jobs. She was already expecting a baby when they met. They started dating and eventually living together. After a number of years, they got married. They moved to a city about 30 miles away and bought a house there. All of it was my brother's doing financially. They eventually had a child of their own. This lady is now in her mid 30's and has literally worked only about 6 months in her whole life. Not because she was a stay at home mom, because she was already in her late 20's and had still only worked that 6 months in her life (apparently that's where my brother met her was at that job). His wife grew up being spoiled. Apparently her father was killed in a car crash when she was very young (possibly DUI), and her mother lives in another far away city in the same state and doesn't have much to do with her. So her "mother" and "father" are actually her aunt and uncle who raised her. Her "brother" and "sister" are her cousins. Her father (uncle) is pretty much a rich guy who helped my brother get a good job in the same field that he works in. Her ex comes over to their house regularly. I'm not sure why my brother approves of that. For every major holiday event (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.), he's always there. Sure, he gets custody of their (first) kid for 5 days per week and he is only at my brother's house on the weekends. Whenever the ex is over there, my brother's wife goes and puts on these really short shorts and sits in the other room cutting up with her ex and giving him all of her attention. We once saw her kiss her ex when it was a holiday and he was over there. My brother doesn't seem to want us to come down and visit anymore. He didn't call his mother for about 5-6 weeks and we went down to his house to check on them. His wife told him that she felt like she was "being interrogated". It was like 3pm or 4pm, and she was still in her pajamas and probably had just gotten up. She lays around all day doing nothing, whining to my brother about her leg hurting (she has been doing this for like a decade now) and literally doesn't want to do anything. His wife has kind of turned him against us. Every time we take some time off to visit my nephew, my brother will say that we can come down on x day that he said would be good and we request it. They come up with something every time. He won't call his mother. He doesn't seem to want us to visit, and we think it is because his wife is telling him that she doesn't want us to come down. They have done something similar with her grandmother, who used to watch their kid, as well. They kind of cut off contact with her. He can find time for the gym, ball games, concerts, etc., but can't find time for us to visit. We think it is because they're hiding something (maybe not getting along) and scared my nephew will tell us (he's 5). Has anyone else out there dealt with a situation like this?

My girlfriend and I are truly in love. I recently met her parents and they told me I didn't belong in their family and they'd never accept me. Her parents are a very successful and wealthy family. They own a lot of properties ranging from businesses, apartments, houses, and many more. My family is lower class who never went to college or got good jobs or careers. Her parents put money before happiness. They'd rather have their kids have good jobs or careers and make a lot of money rather than be happy and do what they want with life. Her mom asked me all kind of questions and told me that I'm worthless and a waste because I didn't go through life like she did. I didn't go to college, don't have a good job (which I do but not to her standard) and basically anything about me she didn't like. I am a very responsible, respectable, and caring person. I put everyone before myself whether it makes my life more difficult. I do what I can to take care of others from family to friends, or even people I just met. I was raised to respect everyone even if they don't respect you back. So 3 weeks ago I moved in with my girlfriend. I didn't meet her parents up until a week ago and they didn't know I moved in. They own the place where my girlfriend lives so they kicked me out as soon as they found out. Now I lost my place because I moved with her so I had to move back across the country with my parents so I wouldn't be homeless... We are trying to find an apartment so I can move back down there with her. She has a 3, nearly 4 year old daughter which I care for a lot. I love her like she is my own. I treat her and care for her like she were my own. Her parents don't think she is a good mother because she is raising her daughter differently than they raised their kids. She is an amazing mother and everyone that knows us and see us with her daughter know that she is. They also think I am a very loving father figure. So what should I do about her parents?

My estranged, emotionally abusive sibling whom I haven't been in contact with for over a year texted me to ask if we can "please meet for pizza and a movie" and that it would be on my terms. If it's on my terms, shouldn't I be the one to decide what we eat before the movie? Or if I want to see a movie with her to begin with? Isn't it hypocritical to say that it'll be on my terms if she already decided we'll meet for pizza and a movie?

My parents have always sort of tried to push me into some sort of science related field as a college student. I've decided I am sick of pursuing their dream, and that I am going to follow mine. I am going to change my major to music. How can I break the news to them without hurting them, or making them angry?

My mom remarried when I was 3. I kept in contact with my father until I was about 12 when my mom and step dad told me and my brother we couldn't see him anymore. This wasn't my choice but by the time I was old enough to make my own choice I had such a distance that I didn't really want a lot of communication. So when I was 16 I ran into at my job and got his contact info. For the next few years we would text off and on. But I was never at a comfort level to talk on the phone or go see him when I was in town. The last text conversation we had was almost a year before he shot himself. He talked about how much life sucked and I told him not to do anything to hurt himself and he told me it wasn't his style. He was in bad health with diabetes and had one leg missing because of it and lived with his dad all his life. So on my 23rd birthday ( I had actually got into town and was planning on going to see him this time and communicate) I was taking a nap on the couch waiting for my family to get home to go have dinner with my grandma who shares the same birthday, and my brother called me and told me what happened. My dad survived a year and 2 weeks exactly before dying of other health problems related to everything else. I never got the closure I needed as to why he did it on my birthday. Was it planned? I know he loved me. I was his only daughter and always tried to forgive him. Sorry that its so long.

So my sons father and I had split up for about 3 months. I ended up moving in with my mom and, I m grateful I have a home... But I m an adult, I have a 1 year old and she still treats me like I m 14. She always ask "who are you texting?", "Where are you going?", "what time are you coming back?" Just stuff like that. I don t even want to take my son out anymore because it s like playing 20 questions to take him to the PARK. So anyways, my sons father came to visit and we were in my room just cuddling and talking (of course I missed him like crazy) and I went to the kitchen to get some water and she said "you better not be having sex or I ll be pissed.".... Like if I washaving sex I would have said it and not cared, but the way she said it. And I walked off and she said "yeah roll your eyes at me you fuc**ng bit*h" she has always referred to me and my sister as "******s" and used to say I had a little brain, was a screw up, called me stuff in Spanish. She has also always put men before her kids! We all have. Different dad.She texted me this morning Saying she was going to call my father in law and tell on me because last night I packed most of my stuff and came with my sons father (boyfriend) because I could hear her cussing at my little sister and my little sister came crying to my room so scared. She comes home pissed off everyday and is never happy. It s always been like that. What should I do? And what is her mantas illness?

I am 15, and i live alone.yes i know its strange.My mom didnt want me to live with her, so she rented an apartment for me.At first, i liked the idea.stupid me.But hey,any teen that would hear to live by themshelfs for free, would go for it. But i cant live like this.its been 4 months and i want to go home.I have no one.im not safe.i had an accident in the bath the other day.and no one was there. i want my mother back. ive done mistakes, silly options.but...im still a child. i know i may have become more independent for my age but, at the end of the day, i need my family.. (my brother is overseas and my father is not alive.) i told my mom to take me back.she doesnt want to.she is alone as well, in a big big house.and i feel bad.i want to be THERE.not here.not alone.she is too comfortable on her own ...i know she loves me but....there are problems, see she is bipolar.. can i take it legally? i mean with the law maybe sth will come out?i dont know.. opinions?

I am a high school guy with a 26 year old step mother. Dad married a much younger woman. We are very close and I adore her. She is the best mother any guy can have. I am comfortable sharing all my secrets with her. Sometimes when we are running late, I will be in the bathroom brushing my teeth and she will come in, hand me her robe and ask me to hang it up while she takes a shower. Oh My God. What a gorgeous body she has. I had to get out of there fast or she would see me if I get a b0ner. How could I ever explain that I got b0ner for my step mom. That would be the MOST EMBARRASSING THING EVER. I think she thinks because we are family nothing like this can happen but sometimes my weenee has a mind of it's own. Would this be a normal reaction from seeing her nude or am I one sick guy?

Okay, so my mom and dad are thinking about doing this group thing with my crush and his family!!! I TOTALLY WANT TO, but my mom and dad are swaying and I just want to yell "NO WE HAVE TO GO WITH THEM!" but then they'll know something's up and probably won't say yes. Is there a way to say it kinda nonchalantly to get them to let us go? Cause they don't know I have a crush on him.

So as of today I am feeling sick to my stomach and I decided very skittishly to skip school so i could rest up, thing is my parents never believe these sort of things and think I'm lying so i can just stay home and play video games, that's only because back in 6th grade i missed many days of school mostly out of anxiety and that caused major trust issues with my mother but this is 8th grade I've so far only missed a day of school and it was only because i was feeling ill, thing is its hard to explain to my mother about things like this especially when its right after the bus leaves (anxiety makes it hard for me to message her and tell her about it so i end up always waiting tell the bus leaves) could someone please help me with this situation.

I was in my room changing clothes and my sister walked in. I did not have any clothes on. I was really embarrassed. She said "You are sure bigger than my boyfriends". Do you think she was referring to the fact that I am tall?

So hey guys. I am a total introvert. Always have been always will. But here's the deal, my dad works at a farm. What should I do???? Please help, best answer 200 points!

Hi all, At the beginning of this year, my grandpa was diagnosed with mesothelioma. None of the treatments helped his condition at all and, therefore, in July the doctors told us he had 3 months to live. It is now mid-September and the hospice nurse has told us he maybe has 2 weeks. This is my dad s dad and while I m grieving myself, I am hurting for my dad just as much. I understand that nothing you say or do can change the fact that this loss is going to happen in our family, but I m wondering if anyone has any advice for how to somewhat help a parent through the loss of their parent.

!!!! Okay so, i go to a therapist and i told my therapist how i had send nudes and videos to various people. The reason i even brought it up is because it makes me feel guilty and i want to stop. And now he s called my parents in for a meeting, and he s gonna tell them everything. He s gonna make me tell them about the nudes. I begged him not to contact my parents, but since i m underaged he didn t listen?? What do i say to my parents?!?! I m so scared of how they will react (especially my dad) and it ll be so awkward!

I am having to quit my night stocker job (without a 2 week notice) at Walmart and move in with my gf mom do to the fact I have people who want to hurt me and my gf there. I'm 22 and just feel really crappy because this is my 2nd job and I struggled so hard to make a life for us here and it's all falling apart. When we got here we where homeless I pushed to get a job and I did at Walmart then we got an apt. And the she got a job there too now my roommate/co worker is flipping out and wants to hurt me and her I'm afraid for our safety. The only safest option I see is to move back in with her mom and start over but I feel like a failure because we will lose our jobs by moving back. I also went to school to be a pharmacy tech but fell short in externship hours. By moving back I can finish school but I feel bad living with her mom.

Ok so yesterday was my birthday and I wanted my girlfriend to come to my party we are both 16 years old.Her step mom told her that she couldn't come and her dad told her no so I went to her house because they always tell her yes when I am there and it's my birthday but instead they ignored me and her so my girlfriend decided that it is best that she starts to live with me my mom recently talked to her and told her that she can live with us because her family treats her bad and doesn't respect her they hardley let me see her.also she and her father and step mom and sister are illegal aliens and came from mexico and Guatemala only her step brother is legal but other than him they all have no papers or legal documents and the parents are both working illegally. Well while I was at her house we called my mom and told her to come my mom was angry that they wouldn't let her come to the party and she was talking about calling immigration and from inside her step mom heard and came outside screaming that we can't come on her property doing this and told us to leave and take my gf with me so.

it is a new experience but I am kind of person who likes being near his family and friends. I confused.

My mom has been so stressed for the last couple of days (evens months) ever since we moved into the new house. Now let me tell you, this house is big, my parents are almost broke and don't tell me my parents should have never built this house in the first place well it's ALOT better than our old house (We were basically living in the slum) and my grandparents have caused both my mom and dad so much stress! They've been using up all the money we've got left and when my mom tells them that they need to be more careful they say stuff like "why don't we just kill ourselves huh? then you'll be happy?" or "i gave birth to you myself and now you repay me with this?" and now my grandpa is having an affair (my dad gave him his ATM card where all his payment go and my grandpa spends like 600 bucks in THREE DAYS and we all now he's giving it to his 'lover'. My aunts knows our situation and have come to help us out but my grandma makes them give her back massages and arm massages saying that "oh my goodness! it hurts everywhere! I'm dying you ungrateful children!" there's ton more stories about how my grandma repeatedly yells at my mom and my grandpa and his gambling. Now my mom won't say anything because she's afraid that they will yell at her again and she's under so much pressure, so is my dad, he's the only one working in this house, my grandparents spend. Do you think my grandparents are being unfair? do you think my mom should say something?

I am currently involved in a court for being raped by my step-dad. he raped me several weeks ago and now my dad pressed charge on him and mom is going to divorce. I think about death every day. I'm always angry and permanently are fighting to everyone.am I going to be crazy? Should I stay in the asylum?

I'm not feeling well, but my parents always make me feel guilty whenever I stay home sick. It's made me a bit afraid to ask them to let me stay home. I'm a good student, only A's and B's with many AP and honors classes, who can handle a missed day. My parents always tell me I'm a good student but when it comes to sick days, they make me feel like I went and did something terrible to disappoint them! I don't party or do drugs or participate in any mischief, and I don't believe I deserve to be treated this way. Just one day will allow me to recharge. Thanks for your help!

I'll try to make this short. I'm 20 years old,I moved in March from NY to FL.I thought it would be better for me,plus I ended a toxic relantionship at the time. Ever since I've been here I've done nothing but rot....He put this house up for sale cuz there is NOTHING in this town,and once we sell it we would like to move to Miami. I can't find a job (I apply everyday) I'm starting school soon ,I'm doing it online cuz it's WAY to far for me to drive....It's impossible to meet anyone here. I'm out of my element. I feel like I've gotten more independent ... But that's really it. Plus I got my license. I feel very depressed everyday,my dad doesn't really care what I do. My mom wants me to come back.... I just can't tell what's good for me or what's not 😕😕😕I mean I thought NY sucked,but I did things everyday and had friends and family. Here,I'm lucky if I get to go to Walmart with my dad 😒 I'm always in the house... And no I can't go anywhere I don't even have any money.........

Im 17 years old, my brother is 23, my dad wants me to go to work I didint go to school since it started September 1, because we are on a strike, my brother loves me if I want something he gives it to me, like i was with my friend we were going out my brother saw me outside and he gave me 30$, but since i went to work with him he is always angry if he does mistakes he blames everyone around him especialy me, like 20 minutes ago he lost the keys of the car we looked everywhere i do all the work he does a little, because he wants to just rest, so he blames me that he lost the key, i had to get up and look for them, he got angry and shouted at me saying "Move your A$$" in front of my family I looked for thm then he found them on the Car. Everyone in the family is afraid of him, im not afraid of him, its just what people tell me to do, my mother keeps saying let him do whatever he wants, I dont know what to do, Im always angry, because he keeps doing that, even when i open my phone at work I most close it, but he keeps his phone opened all the time, like he is using me, what should i do with him, i cant say anything, i try to fight but sometimes I cant because I remember what my mom says, "Don't fight with him". Can someone please help?

She does and says things that don't make sense all the time. I don't know if it's a maturity thing or if it's an actual mental health issue. My mom has been a single parent since I was 2, but she always had help from my grandparents. She was always trying to be independent (moved out of my grandparents, started paying bills, etc) but we would always end up at my grandparents.She eventually moved out and now has been on her own for nine years. My mom ended up getting pregnant to someone who is married. They dated for a few years until my mom finally realized he wasn't going to actually divorce his wife. He comes around a few times out of the year and pretends to be a "dad" because my mom let's him. She even let's him discipline him (which makes no sense to me because he's never around). She is even starting up a relationship with him again knowing the situation hasn't changed. My mom says weird things to my brother as well...he is 8. Like she'll talk to him like an adult or something. I am 21and live on my own but my sister said this morning my mom told my brother "don't be sneaky, you know I hate sneaky people", all because of a blanket. Lastly, and probably the most twisted thing is my mom was involved in a car accident that took my great grandmother's life (not their fault, truck driver was high) and she texts and drives! These are a couple of examples of her odd behavior. She's done a lot through the years and my family has been trying to figure out what is going on.

im going to visit home in 6 weeks, mainly to spend time with my lil brother, we been through alot of trauma and weve always stuck together and so far i think weve come out on top. im aware that alot of my other family members are dysfuctional and surpressed in a way and i understand the effects it has had. my lil brother is living with thim. he wants to leave, but due to disbabilities they are his beneficiaries, but i believe he is capable of doing so much more and he wants to. he just doesnt know how and my family is always telling him that he cant, partly i feel also having to do with the money they receive from him, but hes overcome and done so much and he strives. he wants to visit me but they telling him he cant and he has no documentation to get a passport which he does. hes going to be 25 this year, and my family is very intimidating. ive always been there for him tho and i want to rescue him. i just dont know how or if i can or is it my place....how can i help?

She really enjoys playing the victim. She always talks about how innocent she is and how others take advantage of her kindness and she has an excuse for everything. For example once she told me my sister is more beautiful than me (probably because my sister looks just like her) and then she refused to admit that she did something wrong and claimed that she has the right to say her opinion.She likes to be in the center of attention and she always has a theory about other people conspiring against her and of course she never is at fault. She complains about being in a bad marriage and badmouths my dad (probably because she wants me to like her more ten my dad and to be on her side). I say to her that she shouldn't say bad things about my father in front of me and she has no right to complain about being in a bad marriage since she could get a divorce but never did. Then she gets angry and complains that everyone is against her and I don't support her... Do you think she's narcissistic or just annoying?

Long story short is how he thinks we are cousins is because; My mother's sister had a child (Adam) and couldn't care for him. She gave him to my mom's friends that we currently still see. The adopted mother(Katie, still my mom's friend) of Adam has a sister (Anna) which is where the guy I like comes in. Katies sister, Anna has a son that's 20. He believes that since his mother's sister, Katie adopted my cousin, Adam we are cousins and cannot date. Sorry if this is confusing. Best answer to explain why or why not we are cousins. Need answer real soon..

I'm 18, and my parents have been fighting for as long as I can remember, so it didn't bother me at first when they stopped talking again last week. But then my mom told my sister my dad's looking for a girlfriend online, and my sister told me. My mom is mentally unstable, and also very emotionally abusive. She sometimes convinces herself that her thoughts are the truth, even when they're not. But the thing is, ever since I was a kid, I've always had nightmares about my dad cheating, so it scares me that it might be real this time. Also, this morning while I was having breakfast, I could see him on this site that looked like a social media platform, and it had pink features (though not so pink that it obviously screamed dating site). He had his back to me, but I felt like he could feel me watching, because he stood up and when he sat back down, he sat in such a way that his body was covering the screen so I couldn't see. I went through his browser history and found nothing - strange because I couldn't find even the site he was on earlier. I also found out he visited a dating site back in July, but just the homepage. I know that the only way to settle this is to confront him, but I just don't know how and it's crushing me. My dad has always been the one person I trusted the most, and never would you think he'd be the type to cheat. Now I can't even tell him how my day went. I have two younger siblings and I don't want our family to fall apart. What do I do? :(

My dad offered to help me sell my car and put an ad up in our local newspaper. I put one up as well. He contacted me one morning asking if I d take a few hundred less than what my asking price was. I agreed to the price, and he came to my apartment to pick up my title. I asked him about the money to put in my savings, and he ignored my texts. So, I popped up at his house. He then goes to tell me he took a $25 down payment and he ll get it later. I asked several days later and still no money. I sent several texts, called and he wouldn t respond. It was an emergency. After getting my brothers mom to relay the message to him he sent question marks. Long story short I asked about my money and he caught an attitude and was saying he still only has the 25 dollar down payment. I told him I no longer want his help selling the car and I d just like my money or the title back. He accidentally sent me a text saying how I get on his last nerves asking about my money. Basically calling me a liar(my apartment complex didn t have hot water for a few days and I wanted a hot shower and we had power issues so I asked about a cooler to try and prevent my food from getting spoiled). How he is close to cutting me off and disowning me. I told him basically he can do that if he wants I just want my money or title. I tried contacting him again yesterday and this early morning. Still no response. Does anyone know how I can get my title or money back?

So there's this woman he really likes. They are like bf and gf. And I truly want him to get married. However, this woman was my teacher. On a social network she called me put me into the colleague category. My parents divorced when I was little and it traumatized the bleep out of me, and I get angry if I think of some person who isn't my real mother calling herself my mother. So I talked to him about it, and the conversation escalated. But it was the trauma talking, it wasn't me. I did not mean those offensive things. He speaks to me very little, when I tried to apologize he kept telling me to go to bed, but I think it ment to f off.

Hi I am a single mother of an 18 year old high school graduate. When he was growing up he was always a good kid, got in trouble only once or twice. But a couple of months before his 18 birthday his grandmother died which destroyed him as my mother(his grandma) let him live with her when me and my ex husband were getting divorced. Needless to say they were very close. A week after she died I thought my son had been taking the death well, almost to well. One Sunday night he ran a stop sign in his car and a cop caught him and he tried to speed away but quickly pulled over. The police came at him guns drawn and searched the car and found marijuana and pipes. Instead of going to jail he was charged with evading police and drug possesion and was released into my custody. I cracked down on him hard and monitored everything he did until hus 18th birthday which he practically ran away on. It crushed me and I hadn't talked to him in months. He had such good college plans but now after graduating all he does is surf, drink, and smoke cigarettes. He lives hours away on some beach or wherever he is and only talks to me when he can get access to a phone because he is broke. But he doesnt care, he says he loves his lifestyle and that nothing matters cause we are all going to die like his grandma.how do i change his mentality to get him back to school or at least in safe conditions. He is on the streets in a far away city and just surfs and smokes all day. What do I do about him?

I'm 21, and my brothers are 22 and 13. We all live at home with our mom and dad. We're supposed to be going to this beach town for a week and I don't want to go. Am I being a d*ck for not wanting to go? I don't want to go because my family stresses me out. My mom is carefree and is the kind of person that laughs loudly with no consideration for those around her. My dad is the opposite and will stress about all the lug nuts not being tight enough. My cousin (he's going to meet us down there) is a complete tool; everyone in my family agrees on that, but he recently moved to a new town so he has no friends yet and his family lives in another country, so we kind of feel sorry for him. On this trip we're going to be fishing mainly and I have literally no interest in fishing. I mainly don't want to go because this is my last semester of university and I have an assignment due soon, plus I really need to do some revision for my final exams. And I really want to start this other assignment before the semester starts again and I'm inundated with work again. I'm also having huge anxiety issues recently (which I'm working on with a therapist, psychiatrist, etc), which is really messing me around and stressing me out. So, what the hell should I do? For clarity: Primary reason: study. Other reason: they stress me the heck out, which isn't helping with my therapy. 2nd edit: and what the heck does it mean I'm not ready to be 21 if I don't want to be around my family because it looks bad. This isn't the reason I don't want to go, but it is also true. They're homophobic, drink from dawn till dusk, and have nothing positive to say about non-white people. Jesus christ, they're ******* awful people and I wouldn't be around them if they weren't my family.

Im 15 years old, ive been smoking for about a year now and my mama just found out tonight when she saw me smoking cigarettes with some older guys (18+). My dad already knows i smoke, hes known since the day i started and doesnt care. My older sister is 16 and she smokes and my parents dont care but the way my mama reacted to me smoking is making me nervious cause i dont want to be disappointing her. Maybe shes just shocked? Cause i really dont want to quit, i dont even smoke cigarettes that often, its more of a social thing but i usually vape. Even when im with my dad i vape, smoke, light up. Hes cool w/ it i just dont want her to get mad at my dad for that stuff... What should i do? Just quite? Move out? **JUST A BTW YALL DONT EVEN BOTHER TO ANSWER IF YOU GONNA TELL ME IT S BAD FOR ME CAUSE I HONESTLY DONT GIVE A DARN**

***Please Read*** I want to be strong, independent, ready for the world by the time I'm 18. I'm 16 right now and all the people i know (friends and family) think the worse of me because I'm not like them so they make me feel bad by saying i wont make it in life and not strong. My parents never taught me to be strong and wont stand by me. I never was taught how to cook,be strong, maintain my life and a house, talk to people (i am a bit shy) and Still say its my fault :( So how can i become very mature and responsible by the time I'm 18 without any help. What are some simple everyday things i can do? I want to be able to know what I'm doing , and live alone successfully , and not clueless and held back on life. I know education is a start. I want to be able to build a family and stand with my husband (future) How to not fail in life is my bonus question (I'm a girl btw) Thank you:)

I moved to TX 3 yrs ago and my father was so against the idea of me moving here. He talked down on Tx every other day. He even implied that I should move back to my hometown which is extremely small and poor. Now 3 years later he's talking about moving to TX because of the many opportunities. Whenever I went home to visit family and friends my dad purposely made me miss my plane knowing that I had to go to summer school. So I didn't get a chance to go to summer school. He also lies to everyone about how poor I am and that I'm just living off of people. I really believe he is jealous of me. He's very unsupportive but whenever he needs my support im always there. He has step children and doesn't treat any of them like this. I feel like a foster child. We've never had a close bond and here he is playing super dad to someone else's children. He's done so many screwed up things to me I wouldn't even be able to mention everything on here. I'm just fed up with giving him chance after chance. I hate that he tries to constantly ruin my character. He even lied and told my family he bought my car for me which was another lie. He always discredits me and tries to give hisself the credit. It's so annoying I'm just over it

There is one of my sister. she's super pretty, but dumb and airhead. idk since when i actually hate her, and one of the reason is my parents. they treat me and her so damn differently imo. they always granted whatever she wants (really, everything). she got her own apartment, all branded goods, car, she is never even once think about money. so much spoiled. but me? just because i'm older than her i always need to be patient. i always the one who need to think about money. ride a public transportation, rarely buy things, i always do my best to not spent money lavishly, because i knew if i live like my sister do, my parents eventually will broke. but i can't live like that anymore. why it's always me who need to be efisien, while her live like a super rich girl? one thing that made me more sad is, lately my laptop is broke, and i need the new one. my parents said they'll buy me the new one, but then instead of buy it for me, they give the new macbook to my sister T___T is it wrong for me to be jealous of her?

You break up with your ex girlfriend but she is staying with you and your family. Would it be okay for her to talk to other guys while she is Facebook friends with your family and lives with and basically talks.about him indirectly. Would be okay for.her to take slutty pics...Is this disrespectful to the family while she living there?
