I don t really know how to phrase this as a question, I m twenty one years old and I can t take care of myself, I always have to go to others for help with everything and still haven t managed to get my license. I have a job. But I always have to get someone to drive me there and now I m sick and I have to call my mother to see if she can help me set up an appointment, I still live with her and my grandmother. I just feel like nothing ever really clicked with me after I became an adult and I don t feel like I ve ever gotten any closer to it either, and I ve had members of my family constantly remind me of this and I honestly just feel like I m failing at growing up and I don t know what to do.

To get to the details my dad has been a cop for a long time. He is well known by people. Some hate him and some like him. I support the police in fact I'm going to the academy soon but over the past 5 years (I'm 21 now) I have found myself being harassed by people in my town also by some of the cops there at his station. Also he has been abusive to me, my mom sister and my two brothers. I could say more but I won't. I just don't want to be associated with the last name but I'm waiting to do it until my grandfather died because I don't want to hurt him. Should I ignore my dad about disowning me also can he do anything to hurt my law enforcement career. I'm just looking to start a new life ect but it will be hard with him knowing all the cops near by and in other towns ect

What should I do??? So I'm a homeschooled 16(I'll be 17 in August) year old boy and my parents drive me absolutely insane!!! Hers a look at all the things they don't let me do. (1) they don't let me have a girlfriend intill I'm 18. (2) they don't let me get any M rated games and I only get 30 min of video game time after I read for 20 min. (3) I'm not allowed to do anything with my friends unless all of my school is done. (4) I can't get a job or a license intill I'm 18. (5) they don't let me watch any TV show unless they see it first and its a no every time (example the walking dead). I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THIS ANYMORE AND I NEED HELP!!!!! ILL DO ANYTHING TO LEAVE THIS LIVING HELL!!! PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS!!!!!!!

(Mind you this is not a real scenario just made up) I freakin' hate my little brother! He pisses me and my older sister the hell off! He's always bugging us by calling us constantly and tugging on our shirts. My sister and I try everything to shut him up. We punch him (arms and face), push him against walls, threaten to destroy his toys (we've broke a few), flushed his head in the toilet, sit on his back while watching television, and more. Eveything was fine up until he came into the picture. There's no peace in our lives thanks to him! My mom told us to stop because he cries, but my sister and I are trying to teach the brat a lesson. We're thinking about locking him in his room so won't tell. I'm 12, my sister is 16 and my brother is 7.

So I want to go to my cusin 15 birthday party and my mom said I can but my dad says I m way to young because I m 13 and but my aunt wit her daughters would be the ones taking me there and taking care of me. Plus she the one who s daughter is having the quinceanera. I really don t want to miss and my cousin is also going to get married around the same time but my dad still says no what should I should I do to convice him

I live in a household where a lot of illegal/dangerous things go on. Here lives myself, mother, younger brother/sister & my moms boyfriend. We live in the projects. Her boyfriend is heavy in the streets/illegal activity. Our family has been on the run a few times, from the rivals (drugs/money people) of my moms boyfriend. Once when he was on the run by himself, leaving us behind, his rivals couldn't find him so a hit was put out on my mother. but for some reason (we don't know) the hit was called off. Everyday, I fear for myself/family because of his activity. We already live in the projects & on top of what he's involved in, I fear that our door will be kicked in by the police or worse. I live in constant fear. We all do. My moms boyfriend has had many shoot outs in our neighborhood or close to home. no matter how much I beg my mom to leave this man because of the danger he puts us in, she refuses. She says she loves him. Theres drug ppl in m/out of the house. There's drugs being made all the time in the house/guns everywhere. I always think about someone retaliating to a crime my mothers boyfriend has committed by breaking in and harming us. This is a real legit fear I have. Would I be selfish if an intruder(s) DID come in and I escaped and left them behind? I WOULD call the police, BUT if someone came in/started shooting up the house would I be selfish (or a coward) if I escaped (by myself) and just called the police? Would u do more? I am terrified! I need real adivce.

Hi Yahoo comunity. I am 14 years old and have a Brother that doesn't speak to me from 3 years. I tried to speak to him, to be gentle, to be a bastard and to ignore him but he simply doesn't care me as i wasn't there. He cut all his relations with family and he will be 18 in a couple of days. Sooner or later he will moove away from home and i probably won't be able to see him again. You guys are my hope. Please answer as soon as possible.

last December my step mom and dad got a divorce my dad lied to my brother and sister and I on the reason why he said that you did drugs with your new at the time as a fit because she never really struck me as a druggie I knew her sister and mom and her boyfriend were but not her I recently after they got to divorce I realized the real reason why my dad cheated on her with a girl 5 years older than me all through the time their marriage happened do I tell my dad that I know the truth and the real reason why I don't like his new girlfriend or do I just really let it go it's hard though knowing that your dad is nothing but a scumbag and a liar and a cheater something that he taught you not to do I'm really at a loss right now I could really use it drives I don't want to hear he's going to be mad at me well I don't really care if he is

fight with me over everything and insult me until i stand up for myself, and then they get mad and tell my mom and their dad that i am horrible and i m then shunned for months until i apologize to them. they are crude and awful to the girls i bring home,even if we lie and say we are in a relationship it doesnt stop them and they ll tell the girl to breakup with me lol. they trash everything. they are all in their mid 20 s and have no responsibilities. My mother waits on my stepdad on hand and foot and it stresses her to the max but she does it anyway because she "loves" him. they are all entirely incompetent and it hurts how horrible they are, because I can t comprehend that people this rude and bitter even exist and I ve been through some rough ****, which they also make fun of. I m vegan, for ethical reasons, which they know and they choose to talk to about slaughter and hunting in front of me and then get mad when i cry or am disturbed and ask them to stop. i ve been staying with my biological sister who they also hate, and now my mom wants me to come back for thanksgiving because its the only holiday she likes. but I am going to be so miserable, she doesnt even care. No one in the steps extended fam has even met me because my mom, and i quote, said "you will run them off" which is exactly why i wasnt allowed to meet me stepdad until they had been dating 2 years, and didnt know they were engaged until 2 weeks after the fact (facebook knew immediately lol) because i couldnt finish, i need to know how to get out of going to this thanksgiving. I'll be shunned regardless and then yelled at if it shows im not enjoying myself and just talking to my mom isnt an option, because she herself is controlling and thinks that i try to make them hate me even though i have continuously told her the opposite and she's seen it for herself even. she's blinded by the love and thinks they are amazing, she'll call me useless and compare me to them. i cry even thinking about how miserable this is going to be. please dont tell me to suck it up, you dont understand how blatantly cruel these stepsiblings are, i cant even leave my room at their house because they'll literally tell me to go back upstairs, even my step brothers ex-girlfriend when they were dating would see me and be like "did you ******* forget something? go back upstairs" i really do not want to go to this. i hope someone can answer this and help me out, I really am lost i havent ever been rude to them, either. literally all I have done in regards to them is buy them gifts, stay out of their way, and try to defend myself when they become mean. they're ex-drug addicts and i just hate this atmosphere, i can't afford to move out again for a few months still and i can't move in with anyone as I'm only at my sisters to watch her apartment while she's at disney land, she comes back on sunday and due to the holiday im supposed to go home day after tomorrow. please help

Planning on working at a big store soon, even filled out an application I plan to hand over tommorow. However my mother doesn't have a job and lives on welfare. I live with 4 younger sisters all not planning on working soon, and because my mom is frequently in money problems I think she could take my money. My credit card is connected to hers and she can see anything I do or use my money. She also frequently uses my other siblings credit cards. I geuss I could just talk to her, any advise? Also, it has happened in the past that she took my money without asking. It was to pay some guy fixing a Window and only gave it back 3 weeks later. I'm 15

Im ashamed of my family because all of them are haters and fakers and have menal issues I live in Southern California Im 13 and planning when Im 20 to move far away a place in the cheap suburbs like Henderson,NV

I'm 20 years old have a job and am going to community college, I am a germaphobe and my dad has to be one of the most unkept people on the planet. He literally showers once a week (if that) literally the only time he showers is before he goes to church on Sunday and if we don't go he's doesn't. Then if I tell him he gets mad at me and literally yells at me, and my mom even tells him to shower and he literally just stares with a blank expression on his face in a recliner that he sleeps in, he used to have a full time job as a computer repair guy but got laid off in 2007 and has found a full time job since then, he got a part time job at a grocery store a year and a half ago, and he actually doesn't mind it. But I should add we used to live in a house and we had to move to an apartment last March, all my dad does though the rest of the day is fall asleep on the recliner well watching YouTube videos on his phone. He literally has no energy anymore and he is only in his 50's, he also has no people skills, and he always wears the same black pants he wears to work in the deli around the house which smell and then the dog even sheads on them and he wears those same pants to work, he's broke all the time and my uncle has to pay for our rent, but my uncle said he only is paying it for me and my sister until we move out, and as for my mom she's not the smartest tbh and works at the same grocery store with him, I've tried to help him and he denies my help. Advice?

It is that as they say two brothers or sisters get along better being the same sex than if they are opposites, I have always preferred to be with my brother than to be with my sisters. When I was a little girl I used to play with him, and now as a teenager I'd rather go to the movies or go places with him instead of hanging out with my sisters or my friends. You, girls.... Is any of you similar to me who always prefers the company of a brother man or are we a minority?

Okay, so my eldest brother said that he wont give me independence until Im 25. He said that when he was my age (Im 19) he also used to think he was quite mature and things. But when you grow up you will realize how dumb you were. He said that he needs to know all of my friends and in which houses I hang out. Imagine that. I would have to let him treat me like a child till Im 25. Honestly, I've been treated like a baby for years and Im sick of it. I'm the youngest in my family. I think they are being too over-protective. What do you think? Should I go against his rules (btw my mother is also on his side)? My mother wants to be behave too. I'm in college right now and none of my friends seem to be treated like this. It's really embarrassing What do you think? BY THE WAY, I DONT HAVE MONEY. I can't just move out. In other countries, you may be able to move out when you get a job, but in this country, salaries are low and the rents are high. Only rich people can buy houses here. So, I cant just move out like that.

I'm curious what I should do and google searches have turned up poor results or perhaps I've been searching the wrong words but here's my situation. -Haven't seen my dad since I was 7 and I'm now 22. -My mother has received approximately $7 (seven dollars) over the years in child support. -I'm assured we have his information filed somewhere (SSN, personal info). -We have no idea where he is, we suspect outside the country. I'm not sure what else could be relevant but it can't hurt to ask the internet~

My son is 3 and a half and his dad and I are divorced. I want to do something for his dad from him for Christmas, nothing too expensive though. My son is so proud when he takes presents from himself to his daddy! We made him something for his birthday in July and my son loved giving it to him. I want this to be a little more than just a card. Any ideas? I was thinking a tackle box with his handprints on it or something, but they don't fish too often. They like to work together (His dad owns his own landscaping business and our son goes to work with him.) his dad is so involved in our sons life so I want to do something for him from our son. Thank you! :)

My sister just got married recently and ever since she and her husband started dating, they always talked about how his younger brother acts EXACTLY like me. Whenever I say anything one of them would say "that's totally something *brother's name* would say!!" He's 4 months older than me and my sister and her now husband joke a lot about how we would make a cute couple. I'm not really interested in him at the moment but I was curious if it would be weird or wrong if I was? I'm only related to my sister's husband now, right? Only he becomes an in-law, not his family as far as I know, but I'm not sure if it would be weird to date his brother or not. Even though I'm not interested in dating him I still want to know if it would be bad if I was

I've gotten into trouble like graffiti, breaking into private property, etc. I also have been expelled from 2 schools and right now I am suspended for 2 weeks. I don't know why my parents make such a big deal. They make me clean the house, take away videogames and electronics, glued my window shut, locked me in my room (lock in on the outside). I dont know what to do. I heard them saying that they would take me to a psychologist. They tell me I should be thankful for what I have but I have everything most people have. I don't think I have anything to be thankful for. Can I call the police and report my parents as abusive if I punch myself hard enough to make a bruise and blame them? I was also considering running away. What do you think I should do?

Does he have the right to force her to share his punishment?

i shove pizza crust up my butt every-time me and my mom fights,so that she gets pissed because she has to take me to the emergency room... Are there any other ways to get back at her?

The other day I went with my family to a house showing. We removed our shoes when we entered. Everyone else wore socks, but I was barefoot as I had worn sandals. When asking us questions in different rooms, the realtor kept saying "Emily, how does that floor feel?" And "Emily, how does that carpet feel?" I later asked her why she kept asking me that, and she said that it was because I was the only one with bare feet instead of wearing socks, thus able to feel the floors and carpets easier to feel the floors/carpets so my opinion was especially important to her. Does anyone else find this odd?

Ok I'm a 14 year old boy and I always get into trouble. I've been caught doing graffiti and violating property and stuff. I've also been expelled from 2 schools for...a lot of things. I just got suspended recently, and my parents took away my phone so I got really angry and locked myself in my room. They had to use some kind of tools to get my door open and then they made me clean the whole house for the rest of the day and I couldn't stop cleaning. The next day I went outside. When I came back all my videogames were gone and my door was replaced with the lock on the outside. My window was also made so it couldn't be opened. Of course I got really mad at them and started shouting at them. My dad told me to go to my room and he locked me in there for a couple hours. I was so angry at them. At the middle of the night I was locked in my room, but I could hear them talking. They said they wanted to send me to a boarding school that disciplines students into being good because their discipline wasn't working on me. the next day they unlocked me for breakfast then I ran out the door an went to my fiends house and told him everything. He told me I could run away and live in his attic. When I got home my parents told me thy would have to start bringing my meals upstairs to my room until I apologize. It's been a couple days I'm still here locked in my room. I won't apologize to them. Never. How can I break out of my room to sneak to my friends house?

My mom cam and pick up my daughter and all her things while i was gone to the store. my daughter is 14 years old. I don't want to press charges on my mother but will if I have to. I did not say she could move out and in with anyone else. I mother didn't even move her in with her, she moved her in with my ex-step dad. What can do I do?

So my gf's brother is obese and a slob. He does not care about wearing clean clothes and looking presentable. He is a very messy person. He leaves his house with his clothes covered in pet hair, and he also smells of beer. His favorite oufit is a white cotton undershirt with stains on it and sweat pants with dog hair all over them. Due to what he looks like and his lifestyle he never leaves his house. He doesn't even go to family holidays anymore. Its quite pathetic. Thoughts?

Hello, So here's the story. My stepfather past away in July. My mom and him were together for 22 years and lived in the same house during that time. The house is under his father's name and his father now has severe Alzheimer. My stepfather's brother now has power of attorney over all the properties. My father and his brother did not have a good relationship. His brother now wants my mom out of the house. My question, is my mom legally entitled to keep all the upgrades that my mom and dad paid for (she has proof) ? His father was leaving this house to my father on his will. Unfortunately, my father past first. Since my mom and dad were under the impression that this house will eventually belong to my father they upgraded it over the years; kitchen, bathrooms, hurricane shutters, french doors, air conditioning unit, etc. We moved into that house in the early 90's so it's obvious that all of those upgrades did not come with the house originally. My dad did not have life insurance or money that my mom can use to get back on her feet. I moved her in with me. We are interested in taking some of the upgrades they did so we can sell them and she can use the profits to pay off credit card bills and pay back money we borrowed for the funeral. I would really appreciate any legal advice. Thanks in advance. Chris My stepfather raised me so I refer to him as my father.

My fiancé and I have been together for almost three years now. I m moving in with him next October. There s only one slight problem, the majority of my family hates him. Yes, I am conflicted, but my father being a functioning alcoholic and pill junkie, and abusive as abusive gets, he seems to always point fingers at my significant other. He is kind of the ringleader, what he says goes, and everybody follows. When I was young I made some not so great choices, but they were my choices! Not my fiancé s. Nobody seems to get that. They are also concerned that my boyfriend is going nowhere in life. He isn t going to have a career or make good money. Since when is love about money?! He supports me. But the funny thing is, nobody in my family is going to college. My father is a coal miner. Hypocrites right? But the thing that I m most worried about is when I get married. Of course I ll invite my family, whether they show up or not is up to them. But I will be the better person. I ll ask my father to walk me down the aisle, but what do I do if he doesn t?? I ve seen where people walk with their SO, but I don t really want that. I want him to see me walking toward him. I ve thought about asking my grandpa, because he s levelheaded and isn t irrational like everyone else. But I guess if it comes down to it, I ll walk myself. I just need help! How do I cope with this??

And they already has they own child .i live with my auntie and why i feel like im an outsider i saw like they (my mother especially ) didnt treated or see me as their daugther anymore ...if i was stayed overnight in my mom or my dad house ..i feel like they treated me exactly like im just a guest ....

When my aunt's twin die, she left her parents a flower and a card and six months later she married my uncle (eloped). My aunts' parents were against this marriage and tried to kill her (they are from Kuwait) and my uncle from Lebanon. They ran away to America, and my aunt never talked to her mother for over 20 years... Also, my aunt wears the hijab, but isn't actually a muslim.. She is insecure.

Earlier today, I wanted to watch porn on my phone, but my phone needed a flash app in order to do it. I decided to click the screen, but because the screen shifted, I accidentally clicked what I think was an "update" for my phone. I decided to exit out the browser since the update was taking too long and watch porn on my tablet (which did have the flash app). i decided to use my phone to listen to some music on Youtube, however, I instead have an alert for viewing child porn. It has a picture of my dresser and my mother s phone number. She has caught me masturbating a few times, but she hasn t lately. It says that I have to pay a $500 fee. Every time I take out the battery of my phone, I still have the message, and I can t do anything else on my phone either. I m not harboring any child porn photos either. What do I do? I m too scared

the only time they are nice is when they are trying to manipulate me to some end .......... i will be getting a job soon , in a few months , so i can't move out yet ... mom has said on numerous ocassions that she wishes i wasn't born .. and dad has threatened on numerous ocassions to kick me out of the house (literally) the thing is , i was a rank holder in school and did all the stuff they told me to do .... but these days i am no longer a doormat and that seems to upset them for some reason ... they are not the nice people i thought them out to be (in heart) i expected them to be mature and open minded , but they are actually the opposite how to deal with it emotionally? How do I communicate to them I am pissed without actually telling them -- because that would lead to an argument where i get threatened to be kicked out of the house

But yet she accuses me of being jealous of hers but I've never been jealous of her daughter and I've always said how happy I was for her when she won or got something. But when my daughters do something and I tell everyone about it (Like when one of them made honor roll and got MVP of her soccer team and another time when my other daughter won a pageant) she always acts like it's no big deal and say how I'm bragging but it seems like she wants to brag every time her daughter walks down the street (not literally but you know what I mean). Recently she said something about entering her daughter in this Little Miss Christmas pageant and I said I was going to enter my six year old in it as well and she accused me of doing that on purpose and how I wanted to steal her thunder but I don't see how them being in the same pageant is stealing her thunder, they have competed in the same pageant a couple of times before once with my daughter winning, and I don't think she's over that. But what can I do about it? I have to see her all of the time and on Thanksgiving and she's so annoying about everything

There's this girl who is confusing me and creepy. The last two classes I haven't caught her staring at me but before I would catch her staring at me. Once a little over a week ago she literally couldn't take her eyes off of me according to my friend. She never tries to talk to me. She doesn't smile or say hi or anything. One time she followed me back from the library she was literally right behind e but hasn't done that since. The last 2 classes I catch her looking once or maybe a few times during class. My friend says if she really liked me she would smile or try to talk to you which she hasn't. I don't know what to do or believe. Sometimes I get the feeling that she is looking at me but when I look up she isnt unless she cant hide it well. Help me! The only time we talked was for a class game and it was awkward that was like 4 weeks ago though. My friend says shes a ***** and has attitude . He says not to ask her out unless u want to be hurt emotionally. She started talking to another guy in my class and they sat next to each other looking at stuff on her computer and talking about something. But the whole time i had this sick feeling in my stomach. I heard her telling the guy that she needed help with some book for class so they were going to meet after get got off work on Sunday at 9 pm at her house. He has no curfew. What does it mean?I don't see her again til Dec 1. If she wants me to do anything why is she meeting with the other guy at night? The guy isn't dating her. i think the guy has a girlfriend already. She just needed his help for something for a class project apparently.

I'm in my early 40s. Any time anything good happens to me, I have to hear "must be nice..." like I don't deserve nice things. If I go anywhere with my mom, she makes sure we do what SHE wants and goes where SHE wants. This year for Thanksgiving, I decided I wasn't going to her house. I decided it would be me and my daughter by ourselves. She asked what I was cooking. When I replied "serious? You were with me when I went shopping -- don't you remember the turkey I got?" She decided she didn't want to talk to me any more. When my sister asked me if I have a BF in the pic, my daughter started giggling (cause I've been seeing someone), and my mom instantly wanted to know who he was. When I told her I wasn't going to give details just yet, she got upset. I'm getting tired of the petty nonsense. Not sure how to handle this. Any ideas??

I m serious, hopefully you understand, I m 17 and I have a brother whose thirty something years old, he has money, but no house or wife. Its just something in him that doesn t understand how to be a ******* man and start getting his **** together, when i was little he got married, got drunk and hit his wife, divorced and then to jail for a few months, after that(which was like 8 years ago) he comes and stays to my moms house where I live too, he s not here everyday, he s only here when he s not working and can t find a job. Pretty much he s a here 2 months every 5 months let s say. Okay, he gets so much on my nerves. When he comes with his immaturity and bothers my mom when he wants something and can t get it, he starts getting all violent and starts yelling for him to get whatever he wants. See my mom is weak and defenseless and just cries and let s him get away with anything, he spits my mom, starts breaking plates and glasses and my mom just starts freaking out and puts her head down, I m not sure if he s an alcoholic, but he gets drunk a lot at night, and starts calling the house phone to start saying stupid stuff. He needs to respect, I really would like for him to respect, I hate seeing my mom cry every time. My brother isnt a bad man, he just makes bad decisions and doesn t learn and realize what he does is wrong. Hopefully you understand, what could I tell him? Maybe to make him realize how stupid he is.

after the last of my sisters moved out and started families my mother would have them over with the kids and everything seems okay. One night she made the comment to one of her coworkers. That she never seems to have the house to herself anymore because get togethers were planned usually every weekend at her house and she was left cleaning up after the kids. Well after coworker told the oldest sister about Mom s comment, any invites to her house were flat out rejected making sure they told her "at least you ll have the house to yourself" its been this way for almost a year. Being the only make sibling i wanna try to have thanksgiving here but they wont show if mom is here. Anyone have some sound advice

I'm a male who grew up being dressed as a masculine boy where I never wore clothes that were of a femenine color (unlike my macho brother), but my personality and prefernces seems to be with being effeminate for some reason. I know that I am a self-conscious, non-violent male who does not resort to violence like my brother where my type of thinking does not even align with the mindset of masculine males (unlike my macho brother).. My mum also says that I used to own a pink push bike. I'm a male who is self-conscious, non-violent and sensitive. If that's the case, then I think I might have a severe mental breakdown. I always thought I was the feminine-type.

so here is the deal. i live with my parents. my mom is mentally ill im pretty positive. she is delusional and makes up scenarios in her head that never happened. she is a hypochondriac...she never does anything around the house and skips work all the time because she says she is sick all the time when every single doctor she goes to tells her she is ok physically. she tries to control every single aspect of me and my dad s life...my dad is about to move and i am going to try to go live with him. but i still feel so sad about leaving my mom. i mean i honestly can say that i hate her. it breaks my heart to feel that way and i know i should be greatful she is still here with me but we do not have a good relationship AT ALL. i can not talk to her about anything. she does not listen to me and it is all about her. i am struggling with no mother figures in my life. my brother already moved out and never comes to see her and she is depressed about that, if me and my dad leave she will be alone...she doesnt like her job and other aspects of her life, but i cant be held responsible for her happiness, she wont get mental help so i guess there is nothing i can do. idk what to do!!!! i want to stick around to try and help her and so she will not be lonely (she doesnt have any friends or other family) but i honestly can not take one more second in this toxic atmosphere) please any advice would be appreciated...

I've prepared lunch for my child every day except when I was sick. When I feel lazy to make, I just let her grab from something from the kitchen such as a banana, home-made muffins (that I make regularly) Now my daughter is on grade 9, and I still prepare. (I have time in the morning since I'm a piano teacher) My daughter hangs around with this girl, who rarely brings her lunch. According to my daughter's story, she's asked to prepare her own lunch, so sometimes she brings an apple. Besides she says she is an vegetarian and her food choice is limited. Actually she's adopted. I think her foster parents should take a better care of her especially during puberty although I know it's not my business, I feel sorry about her. OK, I think culture may be involved...

so my mom left early this morning and told me to take the bus to school today, even though she knows I dont even know what time it comes since she takes me to school each morning. anyways, I missed the bus and now when my mom finds out she will get very mad and most likely will ground me or even hit me soo what do I do? don t say "just tell her that blah blah blah and she ll understand," she won t. shes extremely rude.

So i'm 15 years old and she's 21.i really love her and irespect her a lot, when she is upset i'm always trying to help her. I do my best, i don't hate her.but sometimes she can make really upset and very angry until i get attack,. When i was younger she always said that i'm fat and ugly or adopted. I tried to change myself, and i did it. But she still hates me maybe she is jealous, when i will buy something for myself she says, oh where did you find this? I only bought one stuff and she start to make drama, its really hard she always says bad words to my mom about me and lies, i think my mom start hating me because of her. I can't live free. I have mental illness and i was in hospital more than 15 days,she didn't visit me, she just doesnt care now i have really heathly problems and when i don't feel fine she says good or i don't care,. When i have bad headache she makes more noise. She's a bully for me i tried everything and nothing helps

Today on the bus I witnessed a mother being particularly horrible towards her son. He looked about 5 and they were on their way to school. Obviously I didn't see them interacting for long, but what I did see was very distressing. The mother was verbally abusive saying things like calling him an idiot, saying 'i don't love you anymore' which he was very upset by. She was very strict on him, shouting at him for just acting like a little boy-looking around, looking out the window, not understanding what she was saying. She was also quite rough with him- pulling him around, holding his hand so tight to the point where he was crying because it hurt. I can tell the difference between a little boy misbehaving with a mum just being tired and child being treated wrongly. He did seem like a very good little boy, just very confused. I have his name and the school he went to, is there any way I can report this? I am very concerned for his welfare.

We share a 4 year old son together. We've been split up for a couple months now. Ever since our break up, he went MIA from time to time. The other day it was our son's 4th bday party. I invited him and he didn't show up which ruined my sons mood for the entire party. The next day I went over to my ex's house to confront him. We got into a really big argument. He was hungover and kept yelling at me to leave. Which made me even more mad so I kept yelling at him more. He then told me to shut up, pushed me on the couch and choked me then busted open my lip. I ran out the house and drove off. Now, he's calling me and apologizing to me about what happened. I'm still completely tramatized about what happened. I have no idea what to do now.. He face timed our son on the IPad and asked if he wants to sleep over at his place. I told my son he couldn't go and now he's upset at me. I don't how to tell him what happened. I covered up my bruises with makeup so he can't see and I just told him I fell on the stairs and hit my mouth. But he's begging me to go but I'm just so angry and hurt right now I want to cut my ex's life out of our lives completely. What should I do? My son loves his dad so much and it would crush his entire world if I try to take his dad away from him. My ex was a great dad before the break up.. I'll give him that. But recently he's been all about himself and my son is to small to see through all his excuses on why he can't see him sometimes. Ugh, what to i do?

I ve hated her forever, im uncomfortable even calling her my sister. She s 11/2 years older than me & thinks she s the boss all the damn time & my dad let s her think so. He says she s allowed to beat me up whenever she wants too b/c I hit her if she drives me over the top. Most of my friends think I m mean to her & its super annoying when they tell me I need to be nicer to her. She s got this sh*tty attitude that says "I m in charge of you & I m going to keep a calm tone about it abd piss you off because that makes me more mature than you" and she does all the chores & expects some kind of reward afterwards from people she does it for who didn t even ask, I had to learn to do it myself b/c I got tired of losing my clothes & being expected to help do the laundry for her. Unlike me, she s all religious & doesn t practice what she preaches, low-key pushes me around so that I look like the bad one when I act out, & she takes her god damn time in our bedroom when I need to change because our dad told her she doesn t have to listen to me and its been pissing me off for ages. My mom & step dad were both hiding behind the title of religious yet abused & starved us when we were younger & I can feel my sister falling in their footsteps because she s a f*cking hypocrite. I feel like I m the only one that gets me & I want to move out so bad but our dad won t let either of us move out even though that ***** is in f*cking college. Is that normal?

Recently, I went out to get the mail and i found some wide variety coupons addressed to my lovely father, Johnel, one that really caught my eye was from adamandeve.com and the offer was for one FREE ****** massage.. being the curious girl I am I tried to look it up on google but my daddy has all my internet secured pretty darn tight so there isn t much slipping through those cracks so nothing showed up..

My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. He was legally married to his husband earlier this year. My father had no will and never talked to his kids about his wishes when he died. Its really a long and complicated story but basically my father and I weren't very close. He always chose drugs and his boyfriend/husband over his kids. There were a few times he was close to death and the boyfriend/husband went to jail or became "indisposed" and he relied on us. We always nursed him back to health but soon after he was at 100 percent he would go back to his old ways. He died 2 weeks ago. I called and got in touch with the husband and a cremation and memorial were scheduled. It has been 2 weeks since the cremation and memorial and still no one has been able to get in touch with the husband. (I know for a fact he is dealing drugs and most likely on a binge since he was noticeably high at my fathers memorial). I am pretty sure we will never see him again but they took in losers at their house and even worse they took in siblings who have criminal history and people I don't get along with. I am wondering if there is any way I can get stuff that wasn't left in writing that people refuse to give me without causing me any trouble. Like family photo albums, movies with us as kids, his ashes, old sentimental things. Nothing of value just things to remember him by. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Also I am 26 and his other kids are 22 and 28. 2 girls and the boy is the eldest

I am 19 and I moved out of my parents house this last summer and in with my boyfriend and his mother. I did not leave so that I could live with him. I left because my father and his side of the family recently came back into my life after 5 years and this made my mother and step father incredibly angry, constantly yelling at me, insulting them on social media and becoming angry when i ask them to not let my family issues become public knowledge, telling me to get out, etc.among other problems as well. I decided that it was no longer conducive to my mental or physical health or growth to stay there. My boyfriend and I have an extremely healthy relationship. He is essentially banned from my mother and step fathers house though for "disrespecting" them by politely disagreeing when my mother said it was his job as my boyfriend to make me stay with them. he replied with something along the lines of "i believe its my job to support her in the decisions that she makes for herself." I firmly believe that he will stay a very important part of my life for a long time and desperately want my family to at least make an effort to have an interest in him. to at least be polite. I dont know how to handle this situation

Okay, so im a teenage daughter to her and i was wanting some ideas of what to write in her card. Something very lovely and teary

Towel on the mattress and the window open (but just a crack). My mother gets up at 4:30 and may check on me, and I have a tiny house so she may smell it if I leave my door open. I don t want to tell her because she ll tell at me and tell my dad, and he ll yell at me too. It has a faint smell but I think it s getting stronger. I can t use vinegar or anything because they will definitely hear my footsteps going to the kitchen and they ll wonder what I m using vinegar for at four in the morning. Please, please help me!

I am wanting to take my cousins to a WWE live event and their parents think it's not a good idea. I told them nothing will happen, just straight there and straight back. The events only 40 minutes from their house, I mean it could be because its a little far but I have a gun In my pick up if anything happens the kids are 11 and 13 so they won't be much of a hassle, I know nothing bad will happen but they think different. IHave you ever had this situation occur, if so how did it go, I just wanna know cause I really wanna take them.

I'm only 14 I didn't told my parents that i keep her in my room because im scared they would not allow me to let her live with me she told me her mom and dad past away im trying to get her a job and live but i dont know how i can help her she is from Norway but im in Wellington right now How can i help the girl? Its been 2 days and i let her sleep on my bed and i shared food with her She is playing with PS4 right now and she is happy with me What should i do so i can help her? And i should i tell my parents?

Im not exactly the best child (Im 17) to deal with, and I do get moody often, so sometimes I guess my parents have a right to yell at me, but how do I know when it goes into abusive territory? Ive never been physically abused except for this one time when I got into a fight with my mom and my dad told me to go to my room but I wouldn't so he dragged me by my arm to the steps and yelled at me to leave. My mom yelled "why do you have to be such a *****" at me too (not the first time shes called me a ***** before). In a way I deserved it, but maybe not to that extent. Also, my mom makes me feel bad about my weight because I'm slightly chubby. Whenever I say I'm hungry she'll look down at my stomach and make a face. Or when she thinks I had just eaten she'll make a comment about how could I be hungry if I just ate (while looking at my stomach). Or if I say I hadn't eaten anything all day shell say good and when I ask her if she wants me to starve myself she'll say yes (but not in like a mean way if that makes sense). Also my parents never seem to like me and we always get into fights easily. The'll never seem to care about me, or when something happens to me or I'm ill, they'll basically ignore me or simply say "ok" and when I press the matter they'll say I'm really annoying. Obviously I'm just saying the bad parts, they're pretty good parents I suppose. But, how do I know if its not just my attitude that causes all these things to happen and its not emotional abuse?

...How much of this crap is still going to be around in 80, 100, 175 years? I feel as though somehow we are going to lose 80 percent of the content we've made through data rot, plus some calamity. I mean, I've got some family photos from the early 1910's, wax records from the twenties, and a french prayer book that may be from the late 1700's. CDR's not only get scratched, it's actually a photographic process that degrades all on its own. EEPROM (flash, thumb) gets zapped by static, transients, or even trying to read it after a number of years. Hard drives crash, although the older (earlier) ones are more robust, same goes for floppies. Putting one's content on the internet is akin to publishing... One loses all right to privacy, but the data may be reproduced ad-infinitum. That is the tradeoff. What if I don't want to put my content on the internet, what are my options for a medium that may still be readable, when someone empties a wooden chest in say, the year 2136?
