Family: Question: My foster parents didn't seem to like me until they found out that I was religious. How did that change anything?

Question: My foster parents didn't seem to like me until they found out that I was religious. How did that change anything?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:57 PM PDT

I'm kind of confused about why they didn't like me before and then all of a sudden they found out I was religious and they started liking me. One night they came into my room to say goodnight. They saw me praying and they saw that I had a bible on my bed. They asked me questions about what I believed, I answered them and ever since then they have been treating me better. My curfew was 5 pm, but in the day after they found out I was religious they made it 7 pm. They were giving me random monthly drug test, but now they told me not to worry about it. They got me a betta fish. Before they said they didn't know how long I would be with them so I could have a pet. They have also been a lot more affectionate. How did this change anything? I know that they are religious, but I don't see how me being religious changes anything. It's just really stange how everything changed on the night they found out about me being religious.

Question: Was this rude?

Today a girl was talking to me in class, and she said that she wasn't sure if we had any classes together last year, but she knows we had one together Freshman year. I said "I don't remember." Then she kinda looked sad, and I felt really bad but I didn't say anything. What should I have said?

Question: How to deal with rude people in my family?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:15 PM PDT

My family has many rude people. They say mean and hurt Gul things and it's labeled "joking around" ,but when I speak up , I am labeled "rude and mean". If I speak up, they will cause drama and tell people how I am not raised right. I try keeping my mouth shut, but now all they complain about is how I don't talk to them. I can't even avoid them because they are family and my mom forces me to be with them. How do I deal with them?

Question: I made my parents cry :(?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:14 PM PDT

I'm a sixteen year old guy. I don't like it when people are angry. My parents misinterpret my sadness for anger a lot, and I just found this out yesterday. I'm really almost never angry. Yesterday, I goofed up badly. I spilled coffee on my younger sister's notebook. I apologized of course, but a bruyant squabble ensued nevertheless. I didn't want to deal with it, so I walked off and copied every page of the notebook to get rid of the coffee stains. The incident was nasty though. I've struggled with a constant feeling of sadness for several years now, and I was going through an especially bad episode. I climbed onto the roof of our house and contemplated jumping. Obviously, I didn't do it, but I finally decided to tell my parents the extent of my problem. I'm not a touchy-feely person at all. I hate discussing emotions. When my mom heard what I said, she cried for several minutes and told me I was possessed by a demon or something (she knows I quietly doubt Christianity). She then told my father and my whole family. I am so much worse off now than when I was quiet about my depression. My mom signed me up for counselling. I feel like I'm insane, and my parents will never trust me again. I don't know what to do anymore.

Question: How do I fine who my biological parents were even if I know they're dead?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:09 PM PDT

I was given a name by the person who took me in as an infant, she said she met my father for a brief hour and that was it. Not like he died on the spot but he just left me, my mother didn't come back for me. I'm older now and far out in my life and I want to know who they were regardless. Will it be impossible to find them? I don't know my real last name, I've never met them, and my wet nurse or caretaker never told me my dad's name. Who can I talk to for this?

Question: Parents wont let me go anywhere or do anything with my friends?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 11:55 AM PDT

I'm 14 years old and the other day I got caught skipping class. I know it was stupid but I was upset and confused about other things and when I asked if I could try out for basketball they wouldn't let me because the thought I wasn't passing and they spent so much on my sister and omg I was soooo mad. I actually cried because I really wanted to do sumthing and now I have to wait a whole year to play. Tommorow is my best friends party and she really wanted me to go but now I cant because they're still mad I skipped class. I just don't know what to do. They give my little brother more freedom than they give me and now I cant do absolutely nothing. It's like every time I get my hopes up to do sum they bring up how im not passing in school considering the fact I actually try...I just struggle a lot. Well what can I do in the meantime?

Question: How do I avoid a half-related, abusive stalker? My family doesn t take me seriously and I don t think the police will either.?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 11:48 AM PDT

Before anyone says "don t get near him," I need to clarify that there are important family events that I have to go to. Birthdays, weddings, baby showers... etc. If I didn t go, I d be seen as rude and more vile rumors would spread from the abuser or related family members. The abuser has frequently tried to get back in touch with me via other family members- they all excuse his behavior- and lied to me just to get me in his car so he could trap and interrogate me, going as far as publicly berating me at one of the places he d stopped at. I didn t even know until early this morning that a wedding that I have to be at is one he will be DJ-ing at; And guess what? After months of long silence, he was the one to text-bomb me with a single sentence. That he was the DJ and he would be seeing me there. I don t know what to do and it feels like I can t cut this guy out of my life. I ve been publicly humiliated, screamed at in private, emotionally abused and manipulated by this freak, and I m pretty sure he s come close to almost physically assaulting me or destroying my personal possessions back in the short period (about 9 months) that I ve lived with him (complicated family stuff). I can t go to the police because not even my family believes me when I tell them what he s done. That I should tolerate him because he s my "brother." My question is... How do I get this guy to leave me alone? I ve voiced it before, but he gets in my face and tells me he won t stop. The "stepbrother" is related to me through my father, who had a child with another woman before getting with my mother. He was divorced from the stepbrother's mom before I was born. I don't have physical proof other than some venting that I'd done on papers. I wish I had written the date on the papers, but other than paper and the word of my full-brother, I have no tangible evidence against him. Stepbrother's one of those charismatic types that will talk and argue until the opposition gives up.

Question: How to deal with mean/rude family member?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 11:45 AM PDT

Okay so my cousin is a mega ***** whose spoiled and rude but i always keep ky mouth shut. I feel like shes always so negative and shes constantly trying to tear people down which i really dont get? Shes also really competitive and she thinks that her way is the only way. She always tries to pick me apart and comments on my insecurities which is annoying because im honestly the only person who can tolerate her at this point. I try talking to other people in my family about it and they always take her side because her parents are divorced but thats the dumbest ******* excuse in the universe. How do i get it through her thick skull that shes not the ******* queen of england and that she should calm the **** down

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 11:07 AM PDT

Nothing i do is good enough, dad hates me and only loves my sister and i have bad experiences with jobs. So am i worthless or not?

Question: Am i wrong for saying this to my father?

Question: What to do if you feel your doesn't care about you?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:58 AM PDT

Dad has always loved my sister but seems to not to love me like he love my sister. He exclude me from things but does things with my sister. There was a point he left me and family and moved back in like everything was ok. I always had to call him he never called me, he only called me if he wanted something. I'm blamed for everything, and nothing i do is good enough. Why would dad hate son? Also i'm an adult

Question: My dad won t let me spend MY money?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:54 AM PDT

I spent all of 3 weeks to get enough money for my iPhone and my dad says that I can't get it because it's a waste of money. I told him it's my money and he yelled at me. What do I do?

Question: My dad has been a Paramedic for over 30 years, due to age he is going to have to retire. He needs suggestions for a new job when he retires.?

Question: My dad won't let me spend MY money?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:43 AM PDT

So I'm trying to buy a new phone and I was studying-up on iPhones and thought "Hmmm, this seems to be a good phone for me." So I ask my dad and since we are moving soon, he doesn't want us to pay for another phone because we might be changing cell services. I try to tell him "An unlocked phone works with any phone carrier." and he starts yelling at me saying "You're not allowed to get it." I work my own job and get my own money, so why can't I get this phone? Do you understand this reasoning, parents? I'm no longer in school, so that's not a reason for it. My thought process is that he is simply saying no to say no and pushing his authority onto me just because he can.

Question: Now I really don't want to attend my sons bday party because I don't have anything to wear?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:34 AM PDT

Question: Has anyone moved towns to try to save a marriage?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:21 AM PDT

Since my husband and I got married we've had problems with both my parents and his parents. He has problems with my parents and I with his. Recently my mom got let go from her job and his mom took the position. I know my sister in law had a lot to do with it considering she works at the place where my mom was let go. Anyway, this has created a HUGE dilemma and I'm just sick of it. We have a 2 yr old and one on the way. We ourselves get along great and don't have any other problems. I just want whats best for our family. We all live in the same town by the way.

Question: Help! Forced by family to be my grandmother's caregiver.?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:07 AM PDT

My grandmother adopted my sister and me when I was in fifth grade. She has always had diabetes, but over the years has developed heart failure and kidney failure. Her sisters live about 30 minutes away from us and the only time they are willing to help out is when she is in a nursing home close to them. My sister only visits when she needs money. My grandmother and grandfather divorced back in 2013. Right now, it is just me living with her and taking care of her. She is very stubborn and does not do anything she is supposed to do. When her home health nurse and physical therapist come over, she always tries to convince them she does not need them anymore. Any exercises her physical therapist gives her to do when they are not there, she does not do. All she does all day is sits in her chair and watches tv and does not get up to do anything for herself, she expects me to. She stays awake until about 3:00 a.m. when I am already asleep. When she falls,she expects me to help her up (I am only 4"2 and weigh 127 lbs, she is 254 lbs). When it comes to transportation, she is supposed to use Mid-Cumberland, which is transportation provided when she needs it. Instead of using it, she will either cancel it or purposely miss it so I have to drop what I am doing to find transportation for her. I have a job and I am currently pregnant. Her sisters are trying to demand me to let her in my room anytime she wants. They told me pretty much yesterday that they are not concerned about my daughter I am only 19 years old and have a severe health condition of my own. My grandmother also does not follow her diet that has been assigned by her dialysis clinic and doctor. I have pretty much been doing this on my own since I was 14, but I cannot and am not willing to do it anymore. She refuses to let me enlist in finding someone who is certified to help me out. She and the rest of my family are trying to force me to do it on my own. She is also trying to control how I will raise my daughter.

Question: How do I tell my mom when she moans loud all night it makes me uncomfortable?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 10:03 AM PDT

I can't wait until I move out the house. I constantly hear my parents have sex it's annoying it makes me mad and I can't sleep. All I hear is my dad tell my mom to "throw that *** back " "oh you like it when I hit it like this" I get so mad to the point where I cry. I don't want to hear my dad speak to my mom that way. And sometimes they leave their door open. How do I talk to my parents about this awkwardness?

Question: Should dad hate his son because his son isn't what he want him to be?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:26 AM PDT

Not perfect but try and do what i can. But no matter what i do i am hated, i try and work but sometimes have bad experiences with the job. It feels as if i don't please other people i'm hated. It isn't like i don't try, but i am not perfect. It's like no matter what i do it isn't good enough. My dad loves my sister but seems to hate me. I try and do what i can for people, but it's like no matter what i do i am hated.

Question: Is it normal to be anxious about family conflict around the holidays? And what do I do about that anxiety?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:16 AM PDT

I do want to see everyone but I am anticipating the anger my mother is going to have when I go see my Dad. Also, if it goes like most years my Dad will say, don't bother coming to see me until New Years, that way your mother will be happy. On that end I feel burned and I've told my Dad but nothing changes. So either way I am going to hurt two months from now. How do I accept and fix this? Last year my Dad plainly sad for me not to come until after Christmas so not to cause any stress to my mother (they are divorced). I expect the same this year and it will hurt again. He's away at Thanksgiving so Christmas will be when he does this. If he doesn't do it though my mother will fight him to try and get him to which will cause stress. I can't take it each year.

Question: So am i wrong for explaining this to my employer?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:16 AM PDT

I explained that i missed work because of hostile environment. Hostile meaning co worker, am i wrong for explaining this to my supervisor? She didn't reply to me, but when i had missed other days she did reply to me, and worked with me. I had thought about quitting when i got the job, and explained to her that i thought i was doing good at work. But she claimed that they said i was doing ok, so i went back to work. However, i missed my last work day and explained why i missed and she didn't reply. I liked the job which is why i was working the job. When i'm working, at do my best to do my work. I have had some bad work experiences, but i think i done better at this job than i thought i would. But am i wrong for explaining to my supervisor why i missed work? i didn't want to quit on her and would like to keep the job. Like i said i do my work when working, i just had my reasons of why i missed work. Helpful answers. If you can't give an helpful answer don't answer.

Question: How do I handle the situation at the holidays where my parents are only wanting to see one side of the family and I want to see both?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:09 AM PDT

Thanksgiving is not a problem as my father's side of the family will be traveling. Come Christmas I would like to see both sides of the family but my mother only wants to do her side of the family, which we will have just done Thanksgiving with. I feel bad we don't do both. I set up a party last August with all of my Dad's family so I figure it would be overkill to have another big party of my own and I am can't invite myself (if the family knows my parents aren't coming they'll assume I am not). How do I handle this. I am a young adult but naturally it would seem weird if I went without my parents.

Question: Is it normal for the family to stop having holiday get togethers after the grandparents have died?

Question: Help with a family situation---Read below?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:06 AM PDT

I am wanting to host a party with extended family over Thanksgiving or Christmas Weekend. My parents don't want me to. I am 27 and have a restaurant space I can use for it but they are encouraging me not to. I hosted something in August so they say once a year is enough. While I am an adult so I don't technically need their permission I feel this tugging that maybe they are more knowledgeable then me and I am screwing up somehow. They just say people don;t want to get together that often and I know my mother doesn't enjoy family get togethers outside of just her mother and her own kids (me and my two sisters). So what do I do? I am a 27 year old guy so I don't need their permission but if it is going to make me anxious to be going against them I may back out. No big feud or anything but just my mother doesn't like extended family visiting times. She likes the people in extended family but not visiting. Last time I'll ask, just thought I'd ask twice for more insite.

Question: I called my mum a *****!?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:04 AM PDT

Ok, so me and my mum were arguing over something stupid. We were just yelling at eachother. Mainly her yelling rude things at me, and calling me names, like personal attacks. I was yelling back but I wasn't saying horrible things, just justifying what she was saying to me. I started crying because I was so upset and she called me a stupid little baby so I threw a cushion at her and called her a ***** before running upstairs. I obviously know this is no way to speak to my mum but I was upset and angry. I'm also still a teenager and I know this is no excuse but still. So what do I do? If I apologise she'll take it as a chance to intimidate me more but if I leave it I'll be in more trouble. What do I do?

Question: Daughter misbehaving!?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 09:01 AM PDT

I really want my daughter to behave like her I genuinely want my daughter to listen to me! the other day she snuck out of school and the principal had to call the police I tried grounding I tried everything she just doesn't listen she didn't even get a punishment for her sneaking out of school what should I do because I am seriously hopeless?

Question: Help!!! I have a family member that constantly starts trouble. She thinks everybody is beneath her. What can I do?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 08:56 AM PDT

Let me start by saying I love my family and I am pretty much to my self. I have a sister who constantly starts trouble with the majority of the other siblings. She doesn't have to work and she sit around the house thinking of things to start trouble. She thinks everyone is beneath her because she has a husband that works,pay bills and they have another home being renovated at this time. She tells me I am jealous of her because she is married,doesn't live in an apartment,how she has a home and doesn't have to rent. She has 2 children on there own moved as soon as they graduated. I don't understand why she talks about my son and he works and go to college and is doing wonderful. The only thing she has to say about my son is he doesn't go anywhere. My son works and go to college and hangs with his friends when he can. He doesn't go to clubs, doesn't hang around the wrong crowd. She constantly say her husband doesn't satisfy her and he doesn't talk. I haven't talked to her face to face for months. We do tex and I only do that so it won't be an argument. She also starts trouble with my other sister and she just hangs the phone up on her. I think she is bored, lazy and should find something else to do instead of putting people down because they don't have what she has. The holidays are coming up and the family eats together. I don't want to go because I feel like she is going to start something. My son tells me don't worry about her because she is a drama mama!!! lol

Question: Does my dad not love me?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 08:55 AM PDT

I've always been close to my dad growing up as a child because he would do everything for me and go to my field trips and parent meetings. My mom wouldn't and was severely emotionally abusive to me growing up when he wasnt there. She never changed her ways and I was affected and shortly had a nervous break down right after getting abused by an ex boyfriend. I am damaged bad and often have crying spells. My dad takes me to a therapist and tells me I will get through this but I feel sometimes as if he doesn't care. One time he nearly had a breakdown when i told him that. He was yelling terribly. i never saw him that way. I'm clueless on how to live on my own but I feel maybe that's the best thing.

Question: Any need suggestions for activities my mother can do at the house?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 08:42 AM PDT

My mother doesn't really have much money, and I am in college so I can't really help her much with expenses. She lives with my stepdad in a town that is 6 hours away from me, and she doesn't really have many friends in the town. She lives an hour away from the town itself anyway. She is stuck at home all day while my stepdad works, and she has such bad back pain that she is unable to work. She can't afford to go out and do anything she likes to do, and she can hardly afford to keep cable turned on at her house. I'm looking for suggestions on activities and things she can do, for very cheap or for free, that might get her brain working and get her out of this slump that she's in. She isn't very tech savvy, but I can help her set things up if that's what she needs. She is slowly becoming more and more depressed as the weeks go on, I would like to try to help her if I can, even though I'm so far away. Background info: She used to like to paint a long time ago, but that might hurt her back to try to pick up again. She has 3 big dogs at her house, but she can't go outside and play with them much either. She likes bingo, and most law type shows on TV. She loves old arcade games, and she used to come watch me play video games in my room when I was younger. She doesn't have internet out at her house, I don't think she would be able to afford it.

Question: My mother blames me for not being able to leave my father!?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 08:33 AM PDT

Lately my parents have been arguing alot and my mom has contemplated a divorce and I told her if she's unhappy with my father then so be it get a divorce! But today I told her how I hate my father's attitude of satisfaction with what we have! Because I'm a person who likes to strive for more information life I hate being told I can't have something because of my social stature! Which he does often; he is to satisfied with what we have and doesn't want more! So I told my mother that and she said that she would leave him and we could strive for things together but she said she couldn't because my attitude towards her is not permitting her. Yes I do have a an attitude but very similar to hers, which in turn makes us bump heads! I have never cussed at her nor layer a finger on her! So idk why she feels like that! Please help, Thanks

Question: Uncomfortable with swimming lessons. Please Help!?

Question: Can my dad hit me for this?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 07:21 AM PDT

I have my period right now and he asked me to come downstairs to eat which I replied "no" to cause there was a huge bug downstairs and I have an extreme fear of insects as well as menstrual pain. well, he thinks bug's aren't anything to be scared of so he doesn't take me seriously. he comes to my room, beats the sh*t out of, repeatedly hits me against the wall, pushes me off the stairs even though I was screaming let go of me. Then when we're downstairs, he continues to hit me until he cools down and I"m left with a bloody arm and vomiting everywhere. Is this child abuse? This isn't everyday, this was the first time he hit me in a really long time. He also didn't apologize. edit: call the cops or child services and be left at an orphanage? there's no win for me, is there?

Question: Husband in a family dispute feels slighted.?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 06:51 AM PDT

My husband bought a farm at a very young age with his brother to split, due to his great credit. It's been many years now, and it seems the split they originally set up is not fair.The one family got the house on the property, which has 6 bedrooms and a garage, which they feel should be exclusively theirs. They have foue adult incomes going into the home and four kids. My husband got an old trailer. The two pay the exact same amount on the mortgage. As he got older, met and married me, we realized the trailer we lived in was not safe for children, we have two, but were financial unable to get a new one to replace the one falling down around us. One in the other home had a trailer they wouldn't ever use that they were still paying on, and offered save on lot rent if we give what we could. We felt we had little choice. The new trailer has needed much work due to all the damage done by the prior tenants. Now, we are being told that we have to pay a set amount every month and owe 450 in back pay for living there. We gave a chunk of our tax returns and paid for the taxes on the trailer and fixed it up, and we are told we still owe. We don't have any extravagants. We haven't our own garage. Heck, we technically don't own anything on the farm but our cars, but we are now asked to pay more per month to live on the farm without owning anything on it than the brother's family who has the big house and more income. Are we over reacting, or should we put our foot down and say no?

My boyfriend and his mother are very judgemental people. I don't invite him over to my family home as a result of this. I always spend my time in his home. When I did invite him here, he complained about how messy it was and how be doesn't understand how people can live like this, felt undermined and put down. Now he said he saw my little sister at the bus stop. She is taller than me, bigger boned and has a completely different shape. He said he was shocked at how huge she was and kept saying is she okay? Why don't you force her to go to the doctor? Making me feel terrible. It is something she is very self conscious about so we don't talk about it. I ended up crying, and he just ignored me, and left me cry in my own, and go to sleep very upset. I woke up and made a coffee and then left. He called me saying I was a horrible person etc, what do I do? I'm really sick and tired of this but it has been 5 years of me putting in time and commitment. Would you be offended to? Thank you.

Question: Am I just being too emotional?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 06:26 AM PDT

My mom got in a car accident a couple years back and my dad has been stressed (I guess) ever since due to my moms situation. I m 19, work full time and is a full time student. He CONSTANTLY yells (not talk, trust me) and texts me how much I m ******* up. I don t understand. I work full time so I can pay my tuition...just so I don t make my parents pay. I ve always maintained atleast a 3.5+ every semester. He tells me how I m not apart of the family anymore...Like seriously? What choice do I have? My mom needs to be baby sit so my siblings stay at home to do so. They re all not even in HS yet. He tells me why don t I do it? Wel...it s not like my education is free. He picks out every little detail and I m getting WAY to stressed out. He doesn t let me hang out with friends , and my cerfew is literally 8:30pm. I m almost 20. Thoughts?? I could move out if I wanted to but I wouldn t be able to get my education..budget is already tight for me. I try to talk back to him in a calm manner and automatically assumes I have an aditude and I m apparently full of rage. I m not. I m disappointed. My youth is running out and I don t remember the last time I went out and enjoyed myself since freshman year of HS. I don t want to talk to him because I feel as if he s just going to kick me out of the house if I challenge him. Thoughts? Should I just stick up with it until I get my BS? 23 years old graduated with no youth to look back on. Sad.

Question: Parents who don't know how to discipline their kid?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 06:25 AM PDT

Well...the 9 year old boy is so disrespectful to the adults. He curse at them, he throw things at the adults, and he even kick and spit at me but his parents don't do anything. When I tell them about their son, they said "just don't make him mad"..wtf. but when they have problems of their own...they start to take it out on the kid. Like when his parents are mad at each and when they argue with each other, they both would hit him and hurt him. What the hell kind of parents are they? Well, they're my brother and my sister in law. Since I'm so much younger than them (12 years), they said they know how to do their job. I'm 19, so I shouldn't be telling parents how to do their job but I know they are not doing it right. Am I wrong?

Question: To (straight) dudes: Is your type of woman the opposite of the type of woman your sister is?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 06:08 AM PDT

For example, (I know this is a little weird) if you re a boob guy, your sister is probably more of a butt girl. I was wondering if this is a common trend. Think about the type of woman you are generally attracted to, is that the opposite of what your sister is?

Question: What do you do when you get an unwanted gift?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 05:55 AM PDT

Okay so here's the deal. Every year for my birthday, my Aunt gives me $50. When I was a kid, I looked forward to the money but it was mostly to buy semi-useful junk or clothes. This year, for my 18th, she decided to "do something special" and get me an expensive piece of jewelry. My problem is that, while I appreciate the thought, I REALLY needed that money this year. I was expected it and I went ahead and bought what I needed with the money I had because I expected to get it back with her money. Now I am not ungrateful in any way but the money she spent on the gift would have been of far greater worth to me than the gift. What should I do?

Question: Is it common for a younger sister to have stronger legs than her brother?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 05:19 AM PDT

I'm 21 and my sister is 19. We were at the gym yesterday and she saw me leg pressing with 4 plates on each side. She came up and wanted to work in. She put an extra plate on each side plus another 25 on each side. She did 10 reps at that weight the I tried and I couldn't do one. She joked that she had stronger legs than me then challenged me to leg wrestle later and crushed me. I've never been so embarrassed. She's my younger sister! Does this happen with other siblings ever??

Question: Family issues?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 03:39 AM PDT

Everytime I hangout with my family. They always interrupt each other. I see my mom interrupt my sis and my grandma interrupt my other sister and so on. They never say anything, they never get offended. But Everytime I try to talk I get interrupted then the subject gets changed. I get offended and i voice my frustration about getting interrupted. My family then gets mad at me or says I do it to them. I'm very careful of watching myself not interrupt them. Why do I care about getting interrupted and ignore so much? And they don't.. Sometimes I'll go to my room after they do it and they never come down to check on me.

Question: What will you do if all know is pain from your siblings?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 02:43 AM PDT

will you separate yourself them? when you get no support in what every you do, you are always wrong, or the stupid one. I found myself wishing it could be better. wishing I had a sister, a brother, that will love me for who i am. but the more I wish and forgive, haha the more they use the opportunity to hurt me. All they need is all I can give, after then, they are done with me.

Question: My daughter won't let me see my grandchildren?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 01:51 AM PDT

My daughter hasn't spoken to me in 5 years. She claims I was abusive to her and her younger sister and left with her the second the younger one turned 18. They're a year apart. My oldest daughter now has 2 children with her husband and she will not let me see them. I tried calling, writing letters, going to their house and she won't let me see them. She didn't even let me come to her wedding. She lets her dad baby sit them all the time (we are divorced) but will not let me even see them or accept my gifts. I have only seen them in passing at stores or the mall but she just ignores me. Any suggestions on how to mend things with my daughter?

Question: I feel guilty about my mum. What can I do?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:42 AM PDT

My mum is in her late 60s and she's really not well. I make sure to try and help out as much as I can by getting her heavy shopping in etc, and I go over once or twice a week and we spend time together. I would go over more but she's gets frustrated that she's not getting anything done because her illnesses stop her, and then my coming around seems to make her get even less done and she gets annoyed, and I also get resentful and emotionally drained. I would like to invite her over more, but I have children who have school in the morning, and I work and my mum is one of these people who never knows when to leave, and because she's lonely, she doesn't want to leave (she would still be at my house at 2am if you didn't tell her to leave, and theres no where for her to stay) I also live on the absolute opposite side of London. The thing is, my mum is getting upset that she's not involved in anything, and I don't know how to nicely tell her that I'm not the answer. She's got one hell of a capricious temper and I am not very forgiving of it as she was not that nice to me when I was growing up. She doesn't do anything to help herself, she's quite self destructive and I can't help her, because she resents the help and we end up in an argument. I have to work, I have to look after my children, but by not helping my mum more I know essentially I'm leaving her to die. What can I do? (by the way she is not one of these people who would consider a carer or anything)

Question: My parents keep bullying my sister how can I help?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:38 AM PDT

My sister is 27 and in college and as been trying to find some form of breaking into her chosen field by internship or a job. Her past internships were all mostly her trying stuff out to find what she liked back when she was earning her High School diploma and AA. She tried but was unable to get a job while attending college that worked with her schedule. Part of the problem is she found what she was interested in a little late. But my parents haven't been supportive and its starting to affect her. They constantly bring her age up saying she isn't going to find work at all and my parents are even starting to recommend she quit studying the field she wants to go into and just take any job she can find. But she's put so much hard work and effort into her education working on her BA that throwing that away sounds terrible. The worse was when I came home from work and she was crying saying she regrets going to school. "What am I going to do? This is the one thing I'm really interested in doing. I don't know what I can do if I can't find anything. I'm almost thirty and I'm getting scared mom and dad are right and I'll never get a job!" I've been telling her to stop listening to them, that the job market right now still has problems if its gotten better in the last few years. That thirty isn't an age where your chances of employment drop to zero. But our parents constant negative way of handling things is causing her to feel like she's wasting her time trying anymore. I've confronted them many times telling them how they're making her feel. But they tell me to shut up and mind my own business. If anyone is curious she's studying in media and wants to do writing in news or another outlet. She's taken film production courses and other classes related to journalism. The worse is the lack of recent employment experience for her. If she could have found something that fit her schedule maybe she'd feel more confidant and have it easier.

Question: I'm 19 and my dad threw me by my hair into a desk.?

Posted: 23 Oct 2015 12:13 AM PDT

So my dad and I got into an argument over my boyfriend introducing himself to my dads new girlfriend. My dads response was "he needs to stay away from my bitches" I told him he couldn't tell him what he can and can't do. Then he started yelling saying he's gonna beat my boyfriend up and I told him he could try it isn't my business what they do, then my dad ran up to me and started pointing his finger in my face saying I needed to lose my attitude, and when I went to turn away he grabbed me by my hair and threw me into my aunts desk and I swung and pushed to try and get him off of me then my mom tried separating us and he open hand slapped me in my face and the police said that there wasn't any broken bones so I couldn't have him arrested for assault and if he was arrested I would have been too. This doesn't make sense to me because he was the aggressor and I was defending myself...can someone PLEASE HELP!!! He's been mentally and physically abusing me my whole life and I'm sick of it I don't know what to do anymore

Question: Poverty venting?

Posted: 22 Oct 2015 11:30 PM PDT

I almost want to cry...its so hard I'm 16 years old gonna be 17 in a few months . I hate to see my parents barely being able to make ends meet. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to go to college for all 4 years. Christmas and my birthday is on its way. I want things for Christmas but I'm afraid to ask. I've even been looking for jobs to help my mom pay for food and gas money. I hate to see that other people who don't deserve the things they have get what they want. It's unfair .... I don't need anyone's pity I just needed a way to tell someone.

Question: My son hates me?

Posted: 22 Oct 2015 11:25 PM PDT

I am a mother of a 18 year old son who has cut off all communication with me. When my son was 17 years old I caught him smoking weed, which was not tolerated in my and his step fathers house. After he grew bigger than both of us and started working out, while continueinh to use drugs and alcohol and being emotionally unstable, we sent him to a teen behavior wilderness rehab. The program picked him up at 3 in the morning and took him half way across the country. As he was leaving I told him I loved him and he cursed at me. He tried running away, but eventually completed the program with 90 days sobriety and I felt so proud. Upon returning home I was ensured he had changed. The day he got back he told me that he never wanted to see me again and ran away to his real fathers house where he currently lives. I feel like I have failed. He doesnt respond to any calls texts or even emails. He posts pictures of him smoking and getting tattoos online and his dad lets him do whatever he wants! What do I do?

Question: How to tell my parents my relationship?!?

Posted: 22 Oct 2015 11:07 PM PDT

I visited with my parents a friend. Him and I act like friends around them. He lives in Europe. I live in America. We are actually in a long-distance relationship that is very well! It's perfect and it's serious. I plan to move with him over there, but I can't tell my parents anything because they are a bit strict. My mom wouldn't approve half the stuff I do and I don't like her. I can't get along with her ever. Anyway, my mom basically wouldn't approve of anything. She is one to judge and criticize and play favorites and act fake and lie. She wouldn't like that I would be living with him so I'd have to lie. Ugh, it stresses me out. How do I even mention it?

Question: Should i go a party?

Posted: 22 Oct 2015 10:58 PM PDT

We are living at one home because he don't let me to divided the property because he want to become superior of home and always order like a boss of home. Well any way. My parent has been expired.
