I am 17 1/2 years old on the dot and recently my entire family , including my parents, left and moved 5 states away. I stayed behind in Ohio to live with a friend who's parents take me as one of their own. My parents wanted me to go with them but I didn't want to stop my whole life and up and move like I had done my whole life, I was doing so well in school and wanted to stay where I was happy. And of course the public school system had a problem with me going to school in a different state than my custodial parents resided and now my parents are saying I have to move back until I am 18, yeah I know 6 months doesn't seem like a long time but it hinders my school career and just my general well being. I really want my friends mom to take custody of me so that I can stay in Ohio without my parents forcing me back. My parents said that they will not sign away their right but is there any way , with being as old as I am that she could get custody of me anyways? Please help.

My mother who I love is bent on telling me what to do with my life she has to ask where im going she has to tell me what to do! and if she doesnt get what she wants she bitches. I get so tired of it I dont know what to do and when I same im moving out she tries to convince me to stay and tells me what happen the last time I moved out! what should I do??

Right now, I am failing math, not by a lot, but I'm failing. My Brother, is failing ALL his classes. Why is she so mad at me but okay with my brother not doing Olay

My sister and a guy I like were texting about me and she won't tell me what he said but I am dying to know! She has an iPhone 5c and I'm pretty sure I know her Apple ID and password. Is there anyway I can see her texts online? Or how can I see her phone? What is a good excuse for taking it?

I think family members are capable of making up their own mind if they want to enjoy sex with each other. What do you think?

My grandma died today while I was at school. My Mom is VERY upset and so is my brother, sister, and Dad. I haven't really cried yet because I feel like I need to keep everyone calm. How do we get through this?

Here is the back story. My mother and father used to fight constantly, causing them to almost divorce but something worse happened. My father cut all up his legs and arms because he found out my mom cheated. He was admitted to the mental home. Shortly after he was released he committed suicide after finding out my mom was going to meet the guy she was cheating on my dad with. I also have a brother who abuses prescription drugs and takes any drugs he can find. He threatens to kill us and steals our stuff for money. Lastly, my mother's and Father's family are against each other and constantly fight and threaten each other, and sometimes fight over me. I'm only 17 but will be 18 on December 2nd. I want to move far away, should i? I have had thoughts of suicide before being around all of this. What should I do?

My mom always lose my stuff. Like when she takes my phone or something. Then when i ask her where it is she always forgets. For example my dad gave me this "Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Elite Series Airsoft guns" for my birthday, its an automatic gun, so it has a charger. So i told my mom to put that at a safe pace. Then when the battery died, I asked her for the charger...Then she forgot. BTW SHE ALWAYS FORGETS WHERE SHE PUTS HER, keys (shes loses it), phone, purse, money, AND LIKE EVERYTHING. she FORGETS A LOT OF THINGS...-please help- i do not want to buy the stuff she lost of mine. :(

My mom and dad and me are staying at my aunts house -as my father did not do well in life and forced my mom to work -its been 22years my mom could not purchase a house and my father quit his job- My father has a family house-he has 1 brother and 2 sisters all living abroad. My grandmother has always torued me ,my mom and insulted us -she lives with my aunt -her daughter who is very manipulative. 2004 my grandfather died - All the 4 children signed a document mentoining that they have no interest or right on this property and they gave all there authority or rights to there mother-who is my grandmother. My mom thought my grandmother will sell and gave everyone there shares but not it has been 11years and my grandmother living in abroad is playing games with my aunt .Property is in india. my father does not support my mother or me as he is comfortable living for free-at my moms sisters house but now my mother sister and her husband wants there house back-We never paid rent. my mother is in to much stress where will live? my father is not willing to confront his mother or sister who is ruling everything.My father claims he has a document where all 4 signed -that they are giving autotity to my grandmother. My grandmother i swear is weird ,she insults us ,she knows we are in so much issue ,my mom is not young anymore. I cannot purchase a house alone for my mom. As a grandson do i have any rights ? i am in depression-my aunt is really a the worst aunt. -/ is there a way? my father never worked ,quit his job ,expected my mom to work ,never guided me ,most of the times locked in his own room-watching tv ,listing to music. now my mother sister -wants her house back soon-living in her house since-5-6years without giving her rent . my father has an exit point -he thinks he can live here forever.-he does not take my mom seriously His mother in usa and sister has ruined our happiness- we only want our right so that we can buy ourselves a place to live .

My mom had my at 19 and raised me alone. My father only met my like 6 times but decided traveling and living off the land ( and other people) was more important I guess. My mom tried to talk nice about him but I used to see him on Facebook and he's a selfish bum. But anyway... I had my mom and my grandparents were in my life. Well of course I grew up in low income areas and now that I'm 19 most my friends are either in jail, selling drugs, and few have jobs. I have held down the same job for over 2 years now ( since I was 16 so I could afford to drive and get my own clothes since my mom was broke a lot despite working all the time) I always paid my own car insurance, phone, and for clothes since then. But I haven't graduated high school cuz I'm 2 credits short. My mom is really on my case which makes me mad because even though I do miss a lot at Mt alternative school. At least I'm still going back! And I've never missed a car insurance payment to her, and I've never been in legal trouble, I don't do drugs., I never got anyone pregnant but she's acting like my life is going nowhere just cuz haven graduated yet! I don't know any other kid my age who does all this and she should be more greatful that this is the biggest problem she's ever had w me...when it's really not even her problem cuz I'm GROWN! She acts like it's about HER but I don't ask her for ****! I think I'm doing good for a kid raised in my area!

I am a guy and I have a problem that I have a really big mouth. I always talk back to my parents well my dad mostly and I know I should respect him and I do but the problem is that I have a really big mouth. I always have to have the last word in every argument and I am really sarcastic and I feel bad about it. My mom tells me that I have to learn to control it because I do plan on going in the military after I finish my semester at college. I love my dad and I do respect him but I have a really bad habit of having a big mouth. Not only that but my best friend who is like my family lectures me because of my big mouth and to punish me sometimes my dad makes my best friend pretty much baby sit me because my issues with my big mouth. My best friend sat me down and told me that the reason my parents do that is because my parents see me as immature because I fight with my younger brother and my dad and I agree with him. How do I stop having such a big mouth?

my parents are always working away in foreign countries and im 18 and my sister is 27 but she works all the time as well comes home late. i become adapted to looking after my siblings like their my own. it sounds so weird because im just 18 but i act extremely maturely for my age.I feed them change them clean them take to school play with them. So recently my parents have come home. i feel so overprotective of my siblings from my parents. i wont let my parents assume their roles again because i dont want them leaving us again. They are twins 6 years old. ive gotten over the emotional side of things a long time ago. My repsonsibility is them. Is it normal?

My father stopped seeing me when I was four. I had no contact with him at all - no calls, no letters, no birthday cards. Now, 18 years later, he has made contact with me and would like a relationship. The shock of it all still hasn't really died down for me and I'm still trying to really process everything, but I know that when I do process it all, it will be an emotional roller coaster. I don't have anyone who really knows what I am going through that I can talk to, but I know that estranged family members reuniting isn't a totally foreign idea, so I was wondering if there are any support groups a bit specific to my situation? I'm not sure where to even begin looking. Thank you for your help.

My father-in-law recently passed. He left his estate to my wife and her two siblings. However, his bank accounts named my wife as co-owner, and are therefore not part of the estate. Legally, they belong to my wife. She has been using the cash accounts (checking, savings) to cover the expenses on the house; she has also given some cash to her brothers. The third account is an investment account. My wife was in no hurry to tell her brothers about this account, but another family member blabbed. Now one of the brothers wants "his" share, and he wants it now. One of the brothers has a spending problem, and now bothers my wife constantly for money. Even though he has a good job, is single and childless, he cannot reign in his spending. We think my father-in-law was giving him money too. The brother has been nagging my wife to liquidate the investment account. He is eager to spend the money. Originally, my wife considered sharing the money with her brothers (she is under no obligation to do so), but she is sick of her brother nagging her for money. He calls several times a week. My wife has always had a strained relationship with her brother. He is an irresponsible, conceited ***. She thinks if she doesn't share the money, it will destroy the relationship. However, even if she does share, we think he will just keep asking for more money. When it is gone, we think the relationship will be gone too. What would you do?

She's 80 years old and seems to get crazier as she ages, unfortunately. She has been paranoid schizophrenic for decades or possibly since she was a child. As a result, she has ended up extremely poor (wouldn't have anything if me and another family member didn't take care of her and she once lived in a car in a plaza parking lot). Her kids (my mother and two uncles) had a crazy childhood. Moved around from school to school constantly, never had a stable place to call home, always too poor for stuff, etc. She always got fired from good jobs because she made up crazy conspiracy theories against her employers. When she tells dramatic stories, she always increases everything. You can hear the agitation and tension in her voice when she "laughs" while telling something dramatic...it is like she's about to hit the ceiling. Severe anxiety, tries to make herself out to be the "unafraid" one everywhere, etc. Pretty strange. Very hard to get along with at home. We have recently learned that she has apparently started going to various places begging money from random people. She comes home and sprays the money with disinfectant and seems to be effectively sniffing disinfectant in the process.

Speaking of my manipulative sister who is very hard to please, a ***** for a staff member at my day program and an ex but now baby father who thinks he can talk to me however the heck he wants.

My boyfriend left his speakers at my moms house for 1 day then when i text her to ask where she put them she said that she threw them away! She never said anything about them being in her house (that i live in) and never asked for us to take them. They are 300$ speakers and i think she should pay for them. what do i do?

I would tell my mom that I would want to go to the airforce and she would fight me on this decision. After a while she humbled herself in knowing she can't control every aspect of my life and she told me she won't stop me. She does say that she's going to feel bad not having me home but what parent doesn't. Now I feel bad because I think about what's going to happen to her. Should I still go? For me it would be the best decision, but at the cost of leaving my friends and family. What should I do?

I have a lot of practice with children. I practically take care of my siblings and friends younger siblings. Help them get dressed. Make them food. Get them drinks. Brush there teeth. Tuck them in bed. And alot more. I have been taught what to do in a emergency and know basic first aid. My parents think i'm ready but might need to take a babysitting course

I'm 15 and i'm not allowed to play games during the week which I find very unfair but my mum says it's for my own good. I'm predicted A's and A*'s for my GCSE's, I do all my homework and I even tutor my younger brother. All my other friends get to play games so I don't understand why I can't.

So I just like to express how I feel online because I really have no one to express it too, even my boyfriend and my friends doesn't like listening to me on my complaining and I just need to release this anger and frustration. So I am just a person who is like don't want to get in trouble or whatever from my mom. My sister on the other hand, likes to be an *** and I mean it like an asshole. She doesn't give a **** about anyone in this family and I hate her so much. Yesterday I was about to get an iphone 6s from my mom,but no and you know why? Because of my ******* sister making my mom angry. and I hate my mom so so much when she gives me the same punishment as my sister because she wants "fairness" meaning if my sister can't get the phone now(because she got in trouble) then I will get it with her when she isn't in trouble. Here is a thing, when I get a news or whatever of something exciting, I get hype up. But if I don't get it as the person says or do, then it **** me up a lot and I get so mad. I just really hate talking and being with my mom like I love her but sometimes, I hate it when she treats my ******* asshole sister the same punishment to me. I don't know it has always been this way and I hate it so much. I am sorry, it seems like I am a spoiled brat, I am just mad about how my mom is. Does anyone else ahve this same stupid **** that their ******* mom have to treat you like **** too if your brother/sister does something ******* stupid?

I'm 26 years old and I have an anime pillow (called dakimakura) and I really love the anime girl that's on the pillow. I don't think it's weird to masturbate while thinking of her. Well, my mom walked in on me one day making love to my pillow and thought the girl looked awfully young. I told her the anime girl's name is Mikan from To Love Ru. She looked up the character and noticed her age was 12. She then called me a pedofile! Wtf! It's only a fictional character! Who cares if she's 12? Am I wrong here?

They just show up at our house not knowing if we are here or not... I live in Arkansas

I study in another city and my mom planned to visit me on Thursday but on this day another friend of mine will come to stay at my home... so I said to my mom that I don't want her to come since I will come to visit her in eight days... and she had already came to visit me a week before. Now she got mad and that made me feel guilty... She didn't even plan to tell me that she'll come to my home. I learned it by chance from my sister. Is there a reason to feel guilty for saying no? I always feel guilty when I say no to people.

They all want their own space but my daughter currently has a makeshift bedroom in the corner of my living room. The boys are sharing their bedroom, but now that the 3rd bedroom is available they are all fighting for it. Im insisting that my daughter gets it because she s starting to go thru puberty and needs privacy. Everyone else in the family thinks I m going the wrong thing,I would love to know if there s any laws on this situation.

I've started college revently and my parents keep asking me what happened today,how did it go and I'm always not willing to answer them,I avoid their questions and I just keep being secretive.Sometimes this even causes tension as they think I hide something from them.Why does this happen?Why am I not able to discuss with them what I've learned/experienced earlier that day?

I live in one of those countries you call "oppressive", I used to think that we're not oppressed but lately, it hit me really hard and now I'll punch whoever says we're not oppressed! I want to escape but I don't know where?! my only way of escaping is to get married to a local guy and go abroad for work or study then I'll leave him there and run away. I couldn't live my life normally like any other human being because of this oppression, maybe it's time to do something and get free. But how? I'm so scared.

My dad was abusive and kicked me out of his home because of my sexual orientation. He said I could go live with my mom. But my mom just got out of prison, she's homeless, and on probation. My mom went to prison for starving my 3 year old sister to death. Her parental rights were stripped and I was just placed at my dads house, but neither have "custody" of me. Since I've been kicked out I've been living with my boyfriend for over 5 months. My mom is crazy and keeps bad company. She and my older brother have sent numerous threatening text to me and boyfriend. I'm scared of what they might do. Is emancipation the only road for me to take to keep myself out of foster care?? I have a job but it's under the table and we just got an apartment. Also how can I get myself in school??

I have realized that both myself and my sister didn't receive a lot of emotional support from our parents. My mother and father are NOT nurturers. My mom is far from an encourager. She's always been the boss in the family and at her job so she can't step outside the critiquing / advisory role. it really crushes you when your own mother can't seem to encourge you to follow your dreams or say those generic nice words that mom's say when your having a rough time. she has little sympathy and starts critiqing your life or actions. My dad keeps to himself unless he is yelling at you or scolding you. He is rarely in a happy mood. Either he is just mellow and uninvolved or angry. I now see my sister yelling at her own kids the way my dad yells at us and the fear in their eyes makes me want to cry because I see my childhood. I see her critique them constantly like our mother did to us and they are anxious when making a decision because they don't want to get it wrong. . How do I get them to see that they've hurt us and to break this cycle?

I am having issues with my parents. I am 23, chinese, female, and the youngest in my family. I graduated from college (which I payed for) in june with my bachelors in nursing, and just received a job offer at kaiser permanente. The hospital is about 20 minutes from my house, but i still want to move out. My parents, of course, are against it. They are employing all strategies to keep me home. My mom does not work so she has nothing but time to micromanage me. I cant stand it. Ive spent all my life trying to please my my mom but she is never satisfied. She has abused me emotionally. Shes always comparing me to other people she deems better than me, always calling me fat, and ugly by proxy, and makes me feel like a screw up, not matter what i do. My dad is more relaxed because hes working all the time, but he treats me like I'm 5. Hes abused me in the sense that hes given me really hurtful nicknames, such as elephant legs, big booty, etc...He doesn't want to leave me home alone, wants me to stay home so i can afford to pay the mortgage (excuse to keep me home). I am fine helping them to pay their bills, just not from home. My mom has left the country and ive found a really nice place, and have started the moving process. That way, she wont be able to stop me when she comes back. My brother supports my moving out because he went through the same thing when he was my age. How should i handle the backlash? I want my freedom, but i know my parents will freak out!

My little brother would always record me when I get angry and threaten to show people the "real" side of me when he doesn t get his way, People even ask him to show them the "real" side of me", but I don t get it? Like everyone has a side just only their family sees. Everyone gets angry. My brother told me he likes to do this so he can get people to hate me. Not only that, I ve never claimed to be innocent, or to never be angry. My little brother has recorded and shown people who are closest to me videos of me being angry, I.e throwing tantrums and yelling . He would also record himself calling me names just for my reaction. But anyways, now those people who were close to me. see me differently now. I ve come to believe that maybe I am a really fake and bad person. I know caring only fuels him to threaten me even more, and if I don t care he ll still do it, how do I respond to this ?

My parents divorced when I was 9 and they say it was to protect my two siblings and I from their dysfunctional marriage. I took this to mean it was my fault and my siblings since they would have stayed married otherwise. My mother's family objected to the divorce (my mother was the one who called it quits as my father wanted to keep trying) and so I figure they all must look down on me as the one who caused the divorce. It is now 16 years later, how can I get over this as a party of me sees it is my mother's doing (and maybe father also) but another part of me feels shame that my existence caused it.

They have been "dating" for about 6 weeks. Her G-ma has custody of her. I want the G-ma to back off! Some examples: She activated an iPhone on her plan and gave it to my son w/o my consent. Then she looked my ex husband up on social media and asked him to pay for it! She bought "promise rings" and my son came home from school one day wearing what appeared to be a wedding ring on his ring finger. She calls/texts him during school hours. So inappropriate!Tthe list goes on.Somehow I am the bad guy!

My mother thinks I may be going overboard with extended family and I want to know if I am. I hosted a big party in July with my Dad's siblings and a cousin of his and all my cousins. I am going to do the same the Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend. Is this something where I am going overboard and should just do it once a year or is this good? I really like doing it but I worry people may think "so soon".

I'm on the couch now and yes I have a phone but I'm waiting until schools over to leave.I have knowhere to go,no friends at all except 1 but his parents hate me anyway so can't go there,my dad idk where he is.my grandparents deceased.and I don't have anyone else but when I leave I plan on walking a mile up the road into the country was type so I can sleep on a bench or something I'm 14 so..idk what to do,no money at all,no food (she won't lemme have any) and some clothes.anything I can do? There are no homeless shelters around because its just a small town we live in.all I have is a laptop,phone,clothes,and a water bottle.she said when schools out you better leave and not come back before I call the cops.the only thing I did to her was not go to school today.and she cussed me,hit me,and then talk like I was a low down peice of **** help pls?

My mother's bitterness is like a cancer on the family. How can I get her to forgive? She has some groups she easily forgives and other groups she will not forgive claiming they have not forgiven her. Two people in two different parts of the family did the same thing to her one year apart and the brother she forgave in time for Christmas of that year but the step-sister she remains bitter at to this day. Both offenses were three and four years ago Any ideas?

After my parents divorced I went to live with my Dad and my two sisters stayed with my mother. My sisters don't love me because of this and only tolerate me.

Hiii... I m a 25 yr old guy who just came to visit his brother in another city... I didn't know he was living with a girl... and I am finding it very difficult...

Hey guys, I have a younger brother (17 years old). Three years ago he came out as gay, my parents hardly accepted it, however dealt with this .that't not the main problem. He's new boyfriend is nonsense. I know he uses weed and is very bearish and cranky. My brother still lives with us and I'm worried that after reaching the age of 18 he wants to move out and live with him. He's at least 6 years older than my bro. The main problem is, I had seen bruises on the my bro's body and neck several times, every time I ask him about, he replys with violence and says none of your bussiness. I don't wanna interfere his private life, I'm just worried about him. However, I'm not sure that the bruises were caused by that man. Can I report it to the police? What happens if I'm wrong? Can he sue me?

So in late January of this year, I said to my mom and dad I wanted to do piano. They found someone that does piano. I really loved it at first, I practiced everyday, but now it sucks. I hate having to go home every Tuesday and wait to waste an hour of my time that I don't enjoy. I've begun asking my mom and dad everyday if I can not go to practice. The answer is always, "you're going." Please help.

Hi i know might sound dramatic or whatever but i just feel so down right now. To keep it short, im a girl who doesnt have any social skill or whatever and i feel like my parents hate me they always yell at me, complaining im sad or whatever when they dont even want to help me solving my problems, they just dont care. I mean ive problems too, being lonely is one of them. When i tell them, they wont fix themselves theyre just like oh okay but then they do the same thing over and over again. And recently i just heard that my mom sells my cat to a pet shop because my cat has some sort of virus on his skin which makes me sad so very deeply, im very sensitive when it comes to animals and just imaginin him locked up in a cage breaks my heart. Please, im so mad right now, I love Allah, im grateful for everything Allah has done for me, but why, just why Allah would take away my cat, never make it easy for me to reason with my parents, and i just want to fit in society, im always that moody girl that anyone cant seem to understand. And please dont judge me, its iust the wat my heart feels.

Like pics with her butt popped up in the air bent over something, or with her mouth partly opened and pulling her shirt up. i can t be the only person who finds this inappropriate. it literally makes me sick. she sends him pictures of her and her dad where she is literally putting her leg inbetween their father s legs, and had her hand on his lower belly. My husband thinks this is totally fine, he saves the pictures and looks at them often. Wtf!!!! Am i over reacting or should i get away from this family quick?

I had an argument with my mother today. So it started off with me wanting to Skype with my friend. I excused myself to go Skype in my room. She didn't allow me to, she told me to Skype next to her - and I got angry (i must admit i gave her a resting b*tchface look), i want privacy skyping to my friend. SO she told me to hug her first (weird), and i did but then I told her she smelled strange (she often does, since she likes cooking strong flavoured dishes and layers too much fragrance) and she doesn't admit it and she got furious. Now she's saying that I will never be successful and i'll be an ****** like my dad, even though I think my dad is very successful - he paid for my school which is one of the top expensive international schools in Bangkok (please, cheer me up here, make me know that I can succeed). She has 50 acres of land and she won't give it to me now. She says I'm not her child anymore. She says I shouldn't be born at all. She then became sarcastic and didn't talk to me. I apologised. She thinks money is important and she says that I'll never be successful in life without her land. But I will be an astrophysicist. It's my dream. I will be rich and successful (I'm not showing off or anything here, just trying to vent things out and cheering myself up because I think I can, so I can). Help Please, I don't know what to do now. I'm confused with her irrational mind. Extra info: I'm 15, living in a family that parents are not divorced, but so apart - and I totally understand why my dad's quiet with my mom who's authoritarian and never understands a thing. My mom and I argue a lot. I'm introverted and she's the one disrespecting my privacy. I'm sick of her disrespecting my opinions I have had many thoughts of committing suicide or sell harm before, though I never did - since I'm determined becoming an Astrophysicist. My friend is coming over this Wednesday. (It's already Monday where I live), and now she says she's not gonna support me with anything. Now who's gonna pick up my friend? Who's gonna cook for us? (We're like... two girls who suck at cooking) Help please. Please cheer me up. Please help me solve this. My mother is unforgiving. She thinks that she should be respected because she is a mom, not because she is a GOOD mom. She doesn't like me arguing her or even giving my opinions, unlike my dad. Please don't say let me move with my dad, etc... its gonna make it a hell lot worse. Also, my grandma (who died already) would be very sad if my mother sold the land. Please, help me stop her from this. I don't want to disappoint my Grandma and Grandpa (my grandpa is very luckily still alive). I'm literally dying on the inside. I have no one to talk to, except this anonymous society. Thank you for helping me cope with things. Thank you for encouraging me not to kill myself and achieve my goals. Oh I forgot to tell, I live in Thailand, and also, my grandparents gave the land to my mom... so ... yeah (and the laws are different too)

Everytime I end up vomiting or running a fever she trys to make me go to school. When I refuse and beg her to let me stay home she says "You either go to school or you don't have friends over this weekend" when I ask her why she's grounding me she clans it's not ne being grounded. Am I the only one that thinks I'm being punished for being sick?

I was raped 2 months ago by an ex of mine. After we broke up he started acting very different. He ended up raping me. It was not a violent rape..but it affected me and still has affected me badly. I went through about 3 weeks of non stop depression and crying outbursts. I still have no desire to go anywhere and do anything. I started homeschooling because it all got too much to handle. I am still extremely depressed. I DID report it to the police and am currently going through the whole process. I feel like i should have reported it right away instead of "forgiving him" because he sexually assaulted me 2 weeks after AGAIN. Basically I feel like nobody is trying to help me or even believe me. my grandma told me that my mother went to her and told her that the cops said that I said I WILLINGLY went to the location where he raped me. I did NOT say this during the forensic interview which was TAPED. I said he didn't drag me there, but he did give me a slight push into the room which it happened in. Why wouldn't my mother ask me about this that way if the cops DID say this, I could have re clarified my self? so either my mother is lying or the police is. I feel betrayed my mother didn't ask me about it instead of just going to my grandmother basically like i am a liar. this made me very upset and i cried. my grandma told me not to tell my mom that she told me.. like seriously? why are all these people going behind my back like this and lying and changing my words around? I honestly feel like this pain is never going to go away. its been 2 months, and its even worse than it was before. i blame myself because after he raped me i still talked to him afterwards and made EXCUSES for him. what in the hell is wrong with me… i can't believe he did this to me. he was supposed to love me. after it happened i did talk to him on the phone and he did say he was sorry and he cried, then he showed NO remorse. he said he was scared of going to jail and he said he would have no life if i decided to press charges. i did like i said , press charges, and we currently have a no contact order between us so i haven't spoke to him since. but he always treated me like this thats the thing. he used to control what i would wear, call me a hoe, tell me who to talk to and where not to go, he would steal my phone out of my purse and take my things so id have to chase after him to get it back. he pushed me up against the walls and wouldn't let me leave.. i am only 16 if that helps…and this is literally killing me. every bit of it. am i over reacting?should i just shut up about it and move on? i honestly don't know what to do anymore . please help me. yes i told him no. i was shoving him away and telling him no over and over. i said please don't do this to me and he continued to do what he did to me.

she Would blackmail me on Stuff i did in the past if i Didnt do something, she constantly brings up my self harm and either tells me to do it again or makes fun of it, she always tells me im fat, and ugly and unpopular, and she says people agree, and she says she hates me, and that she owns the family and whenever i cry she calls me a baby....she is also physical,

Going to a job interview, I wish I could drive a car but I can't I would fail anyways,I see my future laying in a coffin I'm not gonna get a future my parents tell me how i have to wait to move out

My dad doesn't spend much time with my son but he does spoil him with pretty expensive gifts. My husband and I have asked him to spend more time with our son and less money on gifts. My dad ignores us on this issue. He's insanely stubborn about doing what he wants to do. He often buys our son gifts that don't make a lot of sense for an 11 year old to own like 100 dollar hoodies, 60 dollar t-shirts, a 500 dollar tablet, and a 300 dollar train set. Up until now I have ignored the situation. So I was talking to my son and he said something about grandpa needs to stop buying me trains. I said next time you see him you should discuss with him that you don't need anymore trains. Instead after dinner while I was cleaning up he called grandpa demanded that he not buy him anymore trains and gave him an extensive Christmas list instead. I overheard the conversation just about the time my dad hung up on him. I am mad at my son but at the same time feel like my dad created this mess. We asked him year after year to not make it rain presents and I kind of feel like the consequences finally caught up with him. I explained to my son what he did was wrong. Overall he is a good kid. He makes all A's and B's in school and only gets in typical 11 year old trouble. Things like forgetting to do chores or occasional back talk. How do I keep this from happening again?

So I was raised by a single mother until I was 9 years old and my older sister s father came back into the picture after his arrival my mother was around less and I chose to live with my grandmother she passed away when I was 14 and since then lived with my cousins that became my parents. My mothers boyfriend has made it very clear he s not bringing my mother to the wedding therefor if he won t go she won t go. I m still putting her on the program as mother of bride but what about my other parents due to distance in relation and not technically being my mom and dad birth or adopted (even though I think of them and as mom and dad) how do I lost them on the program. He s walking me down the aisl, they are helping pay for the wedding. What s your thoughts? I only ask because of other family members becoming upset and Fiancés family relations don t all know of family ties and don t want a lengthy story to tell to 90+ guest. What do I do?

I'm 19 and my husband is 22, he is the dad of all my kids before anyone trys to say something about that. I hate the looks I've been starting to get, my daughter is 2 and my twins are 7 months Everyone thinks I'm a "welfare queen" when they don't see me out with my hubby which is far from true he's in his last year of college I'm in my second we both have a job no welfare no food stamps.Yes I know we're young but if our kids live in a safe place have clothes on their back and food in their stomach then why judge us. I am on the pill and we're having our fourth in maybe 5 years but we are good parents.I can kinda see where people come from I know girls my age with as many kids as I have and are on welfare but I'm them I know my childrens father and we work our butts off...any other young moms ever felt like this Cause when I hear someone in the store call me a "welfare Queen" or "trailer park trash" I try not to flip off mostly cause my kids are looking but they judge so quick We do go out and party maybe once every 3 months but I know older moms who do the same thing but more often

Long story short I dated this girl for three years. I never got along with her parents. She broke up with me two months ago because i got in a fight with her dad. He was high and drunk and drugs laying around while he was supposed to be watching his three year old daughter. So i grabbed him and he started fighting and i fought back. I gotbhim out of their house and locked the door. Yeah i guess i started that fight but i couldnt help it. She took his side cause thats her dad and her mom doesnt like me either. Her dad tried to get me fired from my work place and she didnt really take up for me any. She got a hold of me and wants to work stuff out. Oh and she wants me to apologize to her dad. That will never happen. I love her so much but this relationship isnt healthy cause of her parents. Any advice is very much appreciated.

I feel like I will disappoint my family. When I'm an adult, I want to live my life freely, without any distractions or things getting in my way. I want to travel alone, and figure my life out by myself. As a 14 year old girl, maybe I'm too young to start planning what my future is going to be. But, its just a thought, right?

I know I am being bullied but why? It s my older sister and she says she loves me but she makes me feel horrible about myself and she is always blaming me and bossing me around and I just want to know why!

My mom bathed my niece and nephew together with my sister, the mother of my niece here, but when my sister-in-law, the mother of my nephew heard about it, she flipped out, saying it was inappropriate. Is it wrong to let little kid cousins of the opposite sex bathe together? So, with six responses in, is the consensus here that my sister-in-law is a nutter?

Thursday we had to talk to each other about our ideas for this project and we both did our fast the teacher gave us each two minutes to tell the other. But after I finished or she finished we would both stand there and look at each other and then around at everyone else. She said something to a girl next to her.Then she started playing or flipping her hair around then she would move her leg back and forth or side to side. She would look down when we did. It was awkward. 9/29/2015 -So I was up to help the teacher re create a scene and this one girl who was helping do it do stepped up to me and started talking to me but the whole time I couldn't look here directly in the eyes. She looked at me but I could not look directly back. I kept looking at the people behind her or a friend. I've never talked to her before I don't really know her. I could look at anything but her. I dont know why. I didn't do this intentionally i couldnt help it. I dont know why i did that. There was no game or anything. I don't get why i have to apologize for something i didn't mean to do or intend to do. (people tell me that) This I college. Last Tuesday we were on a field trip and my class mate who I was with whispered into my ear she's looking at you. I turned my head and she was she was with a friend. My back had been to her so I didn't notice until he had said that. I dont mean to be rude or anything. Last Tuesday we made eye conact a lot briefly but nothing else. We kept catching each others eye.

I have read hundreds of articles on medical careers and going through medical/dental school and all have seemed like stress disasters that take up every living moment of your free time. I am worried. Free time has always been a concern of mine as I am taking 5 AP College classes in my local high school. I am no where near struggling and currently have a GPA over 4.0. My sister is pursuing cardiology and explains her experiences as "accelerating her age", and that literally has destroyed my self-confidence. I am trying to contemplate the correct field of medicine or dentistry that I want and all seem extremely interesting, but then I think about the 12-15 years I will spend in school and losing all my close friends that I spend time with all time. I want to have a social life and have free time as well but I don't want to lose 30 years of my life in exchange for an interesting career choice with a reasonable salary.Don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less if I was making a dime or a billion dollars, I just want to have some reassurance that all time and effort I put into this won't destroy all my relationships and free time that I enjoy now. I also want some tips on what careers that might suit my free time? (please don't say pharmacy because I don't consider that something interesting and my mom has trying to persuade me into pursuing something easy, thanks mom :D). Thanks so much and please forgive my grammar mistakes.

So next week my parents want to take my younger sister and brother and I to Disney World. They have a resort booked so we will be staying a whole week. My parents weren't considering me when they were booking the trip. I told them I wanted to go to Cedar Point because they have actual thrill rides unlike Disney World. They told me that Cedar Point doesn't appeal to them because they don't like real thrI'll rides. They are trying to convince that Disney might have actual thrill rides but my friend that gone there said all of the rides are for babies. I started arguing with my parents and told them that they don't love me and they love my siblings more. They also weren't considering me. They keep trying to tell me I'll have a good time but u won't because the place is only for babies and little kids. I want to go on real thrill rides not baby rides. I told them I don't want to go buy they're forcing me to. Why do my parents hate me? How should I tell them wither to leave me home or go to Cedar Point.

So my family has been going through some things lately and my sister had a court date today. My father left when I was about 1-2 because he was an alcoholic and I haven't seen him ever since. He has been in contact with my sister and was at court today. He saw me and asked how I was doing but I didn't really say much I had just put my sunglasses over my face. He respected my boundaries and left me alone. Then after the hearing my mom went to go talk to him. He told me he was happy I was there for her and then proceeded to ask me for a hug to which I reponded no. This was such a surreal experience to me and I asked him to call me tonight to talk about things. I heard his side of the story and gave him the benefit of the doubt. It was nice to talk to him and he wants a relationship with me, but I'm not sure what to do. I think I'm going to speak to a counsellor when I go back to university tomorrow. How do you suggest I deal with this? Thanks in advance. I'm 21, by the way.
