Question: My mother won't let me see my father now that he is engaged to remarry, how can I see him or get her to change? I am 15 and they divorced?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:35 PM PDT

The divorce was bad enough but this is so much worse.

Question: My mom and step dad got divorced and my stepdad is like my real father could I live with him if my mom took me and left him?

Question: My sister is addicted to drugs (her anti-anxiety medicine and now opiods). What might help her see she needs help?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:25 PM PDT

The intervention last Saturday failed and so my parents aren't letting her live in the house and she can only visit on holidays and they have lunch with her every other weekend. My mother says it is for her sanity. Our Dad was an alcoholic but he recovered and realized it on his own. We were too little to even be aware of it. His father died from alcoholism but before we were born. So how could my sister have become an addict when we have never seen an addict in action? There is a distant uncle who is an alcoholic but we never were allowed to see him as a child after he molested a child (again when we were babies) so we have no memory of him except meeting him once when out grandmother died in 2002. He died of cirrhosis and liver cancer. So with us never seeing it I have no experience. Am I supposed to scream at her? Should I tell her she is going to die? Is she choosing this or is she sick? My older brother has Bipolar but he is responsible and I know he cannot help that at all. So what do I do to get her to see she needs help? Should I avoid her with the exception of holidays? I have a kid who is 5 so I don't want him not to know his aunt and I let him see his paternal grandfather who is an alcoholic as long as he is supervised. My husband is not affected at all by his father's drinking so I don't think environment is a risk. Could genetics have made my sister like this? What do I do? I am mainly worried about her for my parents. If they were deceased then I wouldn't be worried. Our cousin died of a heroin overdose in March of last year and his addiction got worse and worse and worse. His started with weed as a teen and he was 31 when he died. Even jail and his father and step-mother shunning him didn't work.

Question: My parents are dead. Does anyone in the same situation miss their parents? Is there a way to feel better about this?

Question: My dad watches Porn?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:20 PM PDT

I went to go watch a movie the other day on my DVR ( The Departed). I was mortified by what I saw. There were 7 porn movies on the DVR. I am so angry at my dad because he knows my little sisters record shows and go through then all the time. This Thursday is my parents anniversary. I feel like my dad put me in a really hard place. Last time mom found out he watched Porn on his computer she flipped out. Him denying it didn't help his case either. What do I do? I don't care what people say if a man is happily married he wouldn't go watching porn and having issues like he does. I feel like he is living this lie of what he wants people to think. Do I call him out on it? What would you do?

Question: What do I do about my nephew, he is going to die?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:19 PM PDT

My nephew is a drug addict. He abuses prescription drugs called Benzos. He is 26. Nothing his parents have done has worked. They tried rehab, twice, Two interventions including one with a professional interventionist, As a teen he went to a school for at risk teens for 5 months and it changed nothing in him. They got the grandparents involved to help him (both sets) and that didn't even work and now three of them have died (he even came drugged to his maternal grandmother's funeral last summer). He no longer lives at home and they have firm restrictions with him but the nephew always finds away to do just good enough that he gets what he needs and then uses. He says he gets the drugs from a doctor but I know that is BS as no doctor would give him this much (he might get some). So what do we do as family? I love him but I am especially concerned for my brother, his father, and his wife. They have three other kids and one died (my older nephew committed suicide at age 22 when the nephew in trouble now was only 12). So I am so afraid they are going to lose another child and under the worst circumstances. All their fears from their first son's death are returning. The older son had severe depression and anxiety so I can see how he was just not in the right frame of mind especially the way he did it. Here I am not sure how much of the drug addiction is a mental illness thing and how much he is choosing. What should the family do? What advise should I give

Question: How to overcome my depression caused by my parents? They won't let me move out?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:14 PM PDT

I am 22 years old, living with parents. I am a college student and I work full-time. My parents are very racist, judgmental, and unsupportive. Since I was 17 I was dating a guy from Guatemala. They did not take that well, and they are still kind of against the whole idea. It has been 5 years and they are still disgusted. My dad calls him "that guy"..... Never by his name. It saddens me a lot that they are like this. I have always been depressed because of my parents due to their way of thinking, and reactions of things. My dad one time threw a huge tantrum when I told him I love my boyfriend and we may get married one day. I couple of days I ago I found out I was pregnant (unplanned) but we were both very happy! Unfortunately, I have to terminate the pregnancy tomorrow due to their old school traditions of "don't have kids before marriage"... So my plan was to always follow that rule for their sake. If they were to find out about this, I would be disowned, beat, or hated to death for the rest of my life. The fact that they already hate my boyfriend due to his race plus getting pregnant out of wedlock will make them hate him even more. We feel terrible for terminating this pregnancy but it is still very early and barley anything is showing on the sonogram. This summer we plan on buying or renting a home, getting married in court, and then we'll conceive again because we really want to start our own family as soon as possible but not while I am living under my folks roof.

Question: What gift to give to a mother who doesn t deserve one?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:13 PM PDT

I have to give my mom a Mother s Day gift even though she definitely does not deserve one. I do not want to stoop to her level and act childish. She has done a lot of horrible things and continues to do so. Anyways what gift says, thank you for giving me this life but no thanx for making it a living hell?

Question: I'm jealous my family goes places without me when I'm not home. What can I do?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:03 PM PDT

When school ends, I have to spend the summer at my moms. I go back home before school starts. When I'm there, my Dad and stepmom take my little sisters on trips without me. I get that I'm not home and the summer is easier to go places because no school. I've asked dad if I could go with them this year to Mytle Beach and he told me to ask my mom. He said if she said yes, I can go. But that would hurt my mom's feelings. My dad wont talk to my mom because she yells a lot and hes really quiet. Basically, they hate each other and barely talk now. As soon as I turn 18, I bet they'll never talk again. I get the reasons. But it makes me mad that my sisters get to go places when I just sit at my moms. I'm almost 15. It sucks.

Question: Single Mothers around the world have been experiencing unprecedented stressors.?

Question: Help! Idk what to do Idk what to say to my mom I'm getting so stressed?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 11:36 AM PDT

Ok so my mom was with this guy about 6 years ago and then they broke up and got back together 1 year ago they got engaged. My mom basically said that he had changed and was different so then it's time to move in together and a whole fights happens. He has continuously hurt my mom mentally. We don't think it is a safe relationship. He has trust issues and anxiety which has brought problems among them. LIKE ALOT they fight all the time. My mom tells me that they are broken up. They continue to talk for a while but then my mom ENDS it. Recently they started talking again and my mom obviously loves him. My brother and I have both expressed that if they get back together we are leaving and my mom says she knows and she is smart enough not to be with him however once again she is saying that he changed and is getting help. I'm sticking with my brother and don't want to lose him. I have a family life and my mom has more to lose then this man. I love him and wish this never happened cuz I do care about him but it isn't safe and I care more about my bro idek what to do anymore no matter how many times she agrees with me and says that it isn't safe or right she will go back amd text him She promised me she wouldn't go back and we will never be able to move on if she continues to talk to him I've talked to her calmly so many times and been there for her when he has hurt hwe. Part of me wants him in my life if my bro did too but the other part is scared that it will all happen again.

Question: Since my mother and I are not close how do I handle Mother's Day?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 11:35 AM PDT

I don't want to spend the day with her but I don't mind a brief visit as she lives 20 minutes away. I live with my father and step-mother and have not been close to my mother since she divorced my Dad with no consideration for my brother and sister or myself. My sister is the only one close to her and that is because both are gossips. I am 19. They divorced eleven years ago but since I started high school I was able to live with my Dad after a court found she was attempting to alienate us from him. I do love her and she did other things right, but due to the trauma she caused me I cannot be close to her right now (maybe when I am older and on my own I might try to)

Question: What are reasons why a judge would let a child choose what parent they would want to live with at age 16?

Question: Am I right to do this? Even though I may feel like a dick?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 11:29 AM PDT

So my brother is a bit older than me but acts like a damn child. He knows he has to work but since he has felony charges it's understandable. All he does is lay on the couch all day he lives with me. I pay all the rent and all the bills. But he doesn't do anything literally he just wakes up and plays the game all day. And even when I take it away he will just lay there on the couch not doing anything. It's very sad though to he's 23 no job experience at all. He doesn't get along with other people as he does have mental issues but if he takes his meda they're not a problem. And all he has to pay is half of the light bill which is very cheap. And he still can't come up with that. So I'm planning on changing the wifi password so he no longer a has Internet. And I'm also planning on putting a lock on the light control panel so when I leave there will be no light in the house. Only when I'm here. But I mean really what should I do all he is doing is just running up my bills and eats all the food in one day. Should I just call the mental hospital and tell them to pick him up and leave him in there? Because that's what my last resort may be I feel like I'm his damn car er since my mom did a piss poor job raising him. I'll fell like a dick but isn't it right though? I'm much younger than what he is. Thanks any input will help?

Question: Is it ok to only take younger kids to Disney if older kids have already been and you can't afford to take everyone?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 11:28 AM PDT

I have 4 kids. They are 18, 14 (both boys), 7 and 6 (both girls). When the boys were younger, my wife and I took them to Disney World 3 times (last time we went they were 8 and 12), annual major family vacations every Spring Break, etc. But when the younger two came, we couldn't afford trips like that for 6 people. We just do a local family vacation (camping, a close amusement park, etc). and even that can be difficult for 6. But we want our kids to have that time together. We realize we are fortunate to have such a big family. But...here is my question: Is it unfair to take the girls to Disney without their brothers? The girls have been asking about going to Disney. Their brothers have told them how cool it was, they've been there 3 times, etc. My wife wants everyone to go in the next couple years (before the oldest girl is 10). But, looking at our finances, it is not possible. So wife then suggested to just take the girls since they've never been - and she wants to see their faces at Disney when they are still little. I'm worried that it's not fair to the boys... But then again, if we don't go, it's not fair to the girls that the boys got to go many times to their 0. What is your opinion on this? Thanks.

Question: My dad wants to buy Yahoo Answers?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 11:25 AM PDT

Hi, My father is a gas station jockey and was looking into buying Yahoo Answers. Now, I'm sure you get a lot of nice and spicy offers so my father is willing to empty his coffers into Yahoo Answers. Right now, he's willing to drop a snazzy and spunky five-whole-grando into the business, an offer which is surely impossible to refuse. I thank you and await your response, thanks!

Question: I told my brother I wanted him to die?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:37 AM PDT

He's my step brother actually and I love him so much, we always fight and we always insult each other, I mean, like most of siblings do. Last night we argued about a nonsense and he annoyed me really bad and when he asked me 'what do you want me to do' I screamed 'I want you to die'. And he just nod his head and left. He usually answers with something sarcastic but he never actually got that quiet. Today he got sick and our parents are away and he's not letting me help him and he keeps saying 'maybe I'll die if you're lucky enough'. I can't explain how bad I feel, I don't know what to do or say to change the situation. We're not like 'I love you' kind of brother and sister, so I have no idea how to show affection. Any advice would help, so please whatever comes up your mind, thank you for your time.

Question: Do I have to let my childs father come to the hospital?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:29 AM PDT

He isn't fit to be a parent, he does & sells drugs.. Im glad I got away from him, but I'm wondering if I HAVE to let him come see her when shes born? Is it wrong to give her my last name?

Question: Is it bad if I miss an abusive siblings wedding?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:22 AM PDT

Family want me to go for the sake of civility and to maintain a certain image to the rest of the world. People will be mad if I don't go. What is the right thing to do? The sibling has never acknowledged any wrongdoing.

Question: How do I, now as an adult, get over the pain of parental alienation syndrome?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:14 AM PDT

My mother alienated my father as a kid and she was wrong but otherwise a good mother. She felt his new wife was mean (she had anxiety and sometimes got grouchy). She also was mad that he had dated her before the divorce was legalized (he began dating a little over a year after my parents separated). I now have guilt. My father died and I was close to him throughout his later years but I carry guilt with me because as a kid I believed everything my mother was saying so I did what I could to avoid having to see Dad and step-mother. I gossiped several times a week with my mother and even said once "I wish Dad would just die". At age 14 or 15 I saw my mother was lying and got close to my Dad and step-mother much to my mother's dismay. To this day my mother says she handled it perfect so it is not like she is remorseful So my problem is not so much anger at my mother as it is anger at myself. I feel I betrayed my Dad by believing my mother and so I have great guilt at myself that I waited until age 14-15 to change. My mother had convinced me that my Dad loved his new family and no longer had me and my sister as a priority in his life. I saw later my mother was a liar due to her own bitterness. So what do I do to forgive myself and ultimately my mother who is still living and still holds grudges

Question: Family argument - How to make my niece change her mind?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:13 AM PDT

My niece (not giving out names so I will just say Niece A) had a baby girl and called her Rachel, my other niece (Niece B) is upset because she wanted to call her baby (if she has one in the future) Rachel after her sister who died. Niece A refuses to change her mind on the baby's name and her husband told me to mind my own f-----g business. The day Niece A got out of hospital I barged down there with my boyfriend and sons, my sons had wheel braces to confront her husband for swearing at me, when we got there he was holding the baby and my eldest son charged at him and tried to pin him to wall by his throat but was pushed back and hurt his head while Niece A just sat there and watch her husband assault her cousin! I tried to get her to change her mind and she refused, I called her a selfish b***h and told her she has to choose between the name and her cousin and she told me to get out her house, I refused to budge but my boys pulled me back as they were hungry and wanted dinner and we went home. Niece B is heartbroken, she wanted to call her baby Rachel, what should I do? The family is falling apart.

Question: What do you do if your girlfriend/boyfriends family is rude to you?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:13 AM PDT

And your girlfriend/boyfriend keeps talking about how much they have a high opinion of them even though they were rude to you for no reason? would this annoy you?

Question: What will it take for my parents to realise how closed minded they are and that they're controlling me too much ?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:09 AM PDT

My parents have nver really let me do things my way,haven't give me any space and a day doesn't go by without them bickering at me for essentially nothing and then the worst thing is whenever i try to tell them that there's nothing to really worry about and it's all in their head they throw things back at me instead of actually thinking about it instead of admitting they're not acting accordingly for once.I'm 18 the eldest of 3 children andhave always been the one with the balls to do things his way.I've always had good grades,have never been a trublesome kid,have always stived to be the best version of myself,i am positive and have started to really feel confident in myslef and have leanred how to be grateful.I really grew up mentally and internally at age 17.I really dislike being around negative people,becasue in life there isn't anything to be negative about.My parents are the tyes that are too strict and claim that they're not or try to put their noses into my personal things and just be very impudent as a whole.All my life i've strived to be myself no matter what and my parents....my parnets tell me how i've changed over the years,how i've become more serious(like not happy) and all sorts of these untrue delusional claims which i've told them time and time again that it's all in their head and that they're creating all the conflicts instead of being happy.I've showed them time and time again how they're stressing over nothing and they just can't really hear me out. tl;dr my parents have never really showed understanding towards me so i've started to not communicate as much with them and they can't see that it's their fault when i've told them that a million times.Like whenever they criticise me and i tell them i'm aware of what they're telling me ,thye tell me how i'm a know it all while i;m just telling thme that there's nothing to worry about and that they're making things harder than they should be.

Question: Forgot to say sorry for your loss, how do I fix?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:09 AM PDT

an uncle of mine passed away recently while I was away at college. Honestly I was extremely overwhelmed with school work/applying for jobs, and I only reached out to my parents and my sister about the loss. My aunt is extremely mad at me for not contacting her. I really don't know the best way to respond, without making the situation any worse, please help.

Question: How do I tell my parents that I ordered a free PETA vegetarian starter kit?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 10:01 AM PDT

I literally been living on pasta and morning stars. I figured that can't be healthy on me, so I ordered some help to make meals. But problem is that I didn't tell my parents, I'm way to shy and feel uncomfortable with my dad, because let's face it, he's a racist bigot

Question: Not sure what to do about the issues I have with my dad?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 09:42 AM PDT

My dad owns a business which I have worked in since the age of 17. I will be 24 this year. The only other job I've had besides the job my dad gave me was working at a gym as a baby sitter on saturday mornings. I would wake up and get ready, and every saturday my dad would make comments like "sucks you have to go to work on a saturday!" "well i'm gona watch tv while some of us have to work". He wants my brother and I to love working with him. He wants his business to be our passion. Which is difficult to do because of the way he treats us. 2014 was the worst year ever, i came home from a night class to find my dad drunk and my mom crying. After that, i left to big bear for the weekend with friends and i come back to find out my dad pushed my mom and basically slapped her. and then he kept saying he wasnt the bad guy and it was all an accident and my mom was exaggerating. A few years ago he called me a ***** and just this weekend he said "**** you" to me because he thought i was making fun of him. I'm really sad because as a daughter, you expect your father to treat you right, and be the example of how you should be treated. But hes broken my heart many times but he still doesnt see it. I had a mental break down in 2013 and after the scene i caused my father told me that i made him look like a bad guy. I know im not perfect, but im not a terrible daughter. i work for him, im in school, i don't party or drink or do drugs. I'm lost and every day I just want to cry

Question: My mother (55) is going senile?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 08:56 AM PDT

she's been weird for many years. today she used the toilet with the door wide open with me in the next room! who does that? that is not normal! unless maybe if it's a couple living together. i have no interest in seeing my mother's sexual organs, but i guess that would be no problem for her since she just leaves the bathroom door open!

Question: Toxic mother?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 08:14 AM PDT

What would you do? How to forgive? Got a family rift? Selfish her whole life, and has a toxic personality. Runs through men type. I preferred to be with my grandmother from a young age, because she lived the way I preferred. My mother is young and always acted like she didn't love me. Have a brother one year younger who is basically just like her. Never takes anything serious, never left home and never has anything good to say about my accomplishments, but takes the time to attempt to downplay them. I never even share these things with him, I don't talk to him,, he's always angry and thinks I'm in competition with him (over what? Idk). He's married with 2 kids and I think his wife thinks I'm loose morales like my mother and disrespected the hell out of me last weekend, with my family behind her. They all live together. She was really feeling herself, talking trash, and even getting my two other younger siblings involved, who I also don't have a close relationship with b/c of my mother. I thk the girl even thinks it's a competition now and that I think some negative jealous way if she shows she has a good relationship with my siblings/mother. I don't. They're so immature. My brother even put his hands on me, saying I could bring someone in there to fight him. He thinks that's being a man, it's disgusting. My mother just watched, of course. I have to stay in the house for 5 more days, and when I leave I just never want to have to see any of them again.

Question: How can I remove a hostile entity from my life?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 08:12 AM PDT

The entity is my mother in nevada who hasn t worked in years, has a meth addiction and threatens to burn the house down if we don t open the door. She uses violence and anger to get what she wants. She can t hold on to a set of keys so I get woken up at all hours to open the door for her. Im her 25yr old meth baby son who works for a living. This is decades of abuse my grandparents have endured. She does not work and never paid child support. A true burden to society. Any thoughts to a solution?

Question: My mother has caused me to have anxiety disorders by her constant bitterness that led to her divorce, how do I get over this hurt?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 07:58 AM PDT

Some of the anxiety could have surfaced anyway and maybe she even needed to divorce. But she used me to get my father back and any other enemies she had. She used me as a weapon. She otherwise was a good mother but this trauma has stayed with me into adulthood. I am in therapy so just looking for additional advise. I often see other questions on here about mothers and fathers who abuse due to divorce or fights (mainly mothers or in the case of fathers they have disappeared). In my case my mother is the one at fault. I ended up with my father as he fought for me but the fear has remained that I will lose family again. Now a days it is my mother's siblings she is trying to wreck the reputations of as I occasionally still see my mother. How do I get over all this hurt? There is shame, fear, and anger.

Question: I'm 23 weeks pregnant, my childs father broke up with me out of the blue?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 07:51 AM PDT

My childs father recently broke up with over a little argument we had about miscommunication.. We're both young, 20 years old. He was still texting me everyday after I left saying "he didn't want anyone else like he does me & our daughter" calling me "beautiful" ect. & I just found out the other day that he is talking & hanging out with a 16 year old girl, & letting her say really mean stuff to me, & saying they're gonna get custody & shes gonna be my child's mother.... I'm just wanted to know why he would be doing this? Did the pregnancy scare him off? Do you think he'll wanna work things out for our family eventually?

Question: Should I scream bloody hell next time my brother goes off on our mother? Would it help?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 07:32 AM PDT

My half-brother is 16 and I am 28. My father died when I was a baby and my brother's father skipped town when my mother got pregnant and has never met my brother. So my brother is 16 and he takes all this anger about having no Dad out on our mother. I don't get why in the world he does this. He has called my mother the C word, a whore, an F..ing white B word (he is Biracial as his father was black). he tells her he hates her and that his father left because he couldn't look at her and her crazy pills (she takes anxiety medications). He also sleeps around, his room is stashed with marijuana, and he is lazy. So I don't live at home and my brother (two years older) has two kids and can't get involved. But, should I go over there sometime when he is raging and scream bloody murder at him or will this make things worse? I have another sister at home (his twin-sister) and she hates the fighting also. He has been like this since he was 10. We had a normal family aside from no Dad until he became 10 and now it is hell. I almost wish he'd crash his car and die but I know that is horrible to say and I do still have love for him. He is like the devil's child though. Thank you all for the advise

Question: I really hate my brother?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 06:36 AM PDT

I'm 14 he is 11. He is almost my height and he teases me about it and he tells everyone about it. He sleeps with the tv on all night, I tried telling my parents but my dad grew up watching tv while going to sleep too. He talks so loud and I tell him to quiet down but he doesn't listen. I barely talk to hi because he is so annoying. Sometimes he looks at me and shakes his head like im ugly. I can't hangout with my friends because my mom and dad will come along and literally bring my brother. I have a skin condition called hives and my brother tries to annoy me so I can get them. Then he laughs, I want to beat him up so bad but then my dad will try and act like a tough guy and get in my face and try intimidating me. I can't stand this kid! My little sister passed away a while ago and now its just me and him. I'm a boy by the way.

Question: My ex bought our child a very expensive gift, creating a spoiled brat?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 06:00 AM PDT

The gift is not what is bothering me so much, it is that it is so extremely expensive and over the top for her birthday (a Nintendo DS plus 10 games) and her grades are horrible. I do not think she needs a gaming system, I think she needs to study (she has C's, a D and an F). Her father does not agree and voiced this stating if he can afford it, she's getting it. I asked him to not send her over here with it. However, her attitude will be "I hate moms house, it is stupid, why won't you let me have it" and so on because she already has the same attitude with her tablet and Ipod. Also, my parents bought her lots of books, I bought her her favorite books and we are going to her favorite restaurant. I just know it's going to mean nothing to her compared to this system. She is 10. I am single and he married into money (a lot of money). She snaps her fingers and gets what she wants over there. Do you think this will turn her into a monster some day?

Question: Do I really hate my mother? PLEASE READ BELOW?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 05:59 AM PDT

I feel horrible right now I don't know how to explain this but when I was young I used to think about how there comes an end to everything(death) and I used to cry about it and beg my mother to never die(she was fine, it was just aging) and she used to tell me that its okay and I shouldn't grow so attached to her that when that day comes I would never be able to move on anyways now I feel like I don't care anymore AND I FEEL SO GUILTY AND HORRIBLE I have been like this for the last 2 years...(when I share my thoughts and feelings...the result tells me that i'm depressed) and its all her fault!! she is so discouraging and she never appreciates me i'm 13 by the way and please don't say that its normal to feel like that for my age cause its different she wants me to be stick thin, she wants me to be the prettiest girl ever she wants me to be smarter than einstein she basically wants me to be perfect and i'm tired of it...I try, I really do but it hurts so much and I feel like I have had enough(i'm not being dramatic plzz don't say that) and I do everything others want me to do...I use different products on my skin, I starve myself etc but I know i'm not supposed to be doing that I can't give her everything she wants I know i'm fat and not pretty like other girls but she doesn't need to rub it on my face and make me feel horrible every time i'm around her she thinks TOO highly of herself i'm starting to hate her...that makes me a horrible daughter I can't tell her how I feel she wouldn't understand I don't even want her to

Question: I want to punch my brother?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 05:45 AM PDT

My brother has the most disgusting habits like being generally unhygienic, but one of them is jerking off, the walls between my and his room is pretty thin so I walked past his room the other day and heard sex sounds coming from his computer. It disgusts me. Sometimes I see him sticking his hands down his pants right in front of me. He got no shame. He touch a lot of my stuff as well, we share an iPad , I have to DISINFECT it each time I use it. Sometime when he is about to hug me I push him away. He is no pervert tho. I have no idea what to do since he is pretty sensitive and he has ADHD as well.

Question: Am I getting emotionally abused by my parents? I feel like I am getting harassed and abused just because my parents feel like it.?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 05:37 AM PDT

Hello, I am a 14 year old boy from the middle east. I grew up in Canada for most of my life (ages 3 -10) therefore English is my primary language. While my parents primary language is in Arabic. I am a introvert that doesn t really talk to girls but to my friends I m really crazy. Though because not everyone knows that I am able to talk makes my parents scream at me for no reason. First of all, if I don t know something my parents want me to do they scream "Do you even have a use in life?". or something like "Do you just play games like a nerd?". Recently over the last 2 years, they ve really bumped it up. I only have around 5 close friends so I go out around twice a month. They usually scream at me and say "is you life on your laptop?". Or even say "you loser, you are too serious, that is why no one at your school doesn t want to be your friend." Also recently theyve been saying "you have no friends" or "your whole family thinks you are a loser" Then they proceed to take my laptop and leave me to do nothing in the weekend. Though most of the time I have a legit argument and they just say "eat ****" (in arabic) or "you're an idiot" (much bigger insult in arabic)

Question: Am I in the wrong for saying this to my dad?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 04:22 AM PDT

I'm 19 and I live with my dad. My mum left us when I was 12 and since then, he has been treating me like I'm a slave. He made me do everything back then and he still makes me do everything to this day. He's been out of employment since I was about 10. We both get money through benefits. I've been trying to search for jobs since I was 16. I had a job as a cash register at a newsagents for about 6 months, but I got laid off as the newsagents went out of business. However my dad hasn't been searching for jobs at all because it's "too hard". So earlier this morning, my dad had me cleaning the toilet after he did, you know... his business. After he did that, he ordered me around to do some gardening and some other miscellaneous chores. I finally had enough of him. I snapped at him, "You have been ordering me around every single day since mum left. It's always me that has to do everything and not you. You've been unemployed since I was 10 and you're not looking for a job because you're just so goddamn lazy. I've missed all my teenage years because of you. You never let me go anywhere or do what I want. It always has to be your way. Well I'm doing what I want from now on and you can stuff your chores because I've had enough of them. I am not your slave, I am your daughter. You've never treated me like it!" I stormed off to my room and about 10 minutes later, he had a go at me for saying that to him. Apparently I'm a brat. Am I in the wrong for saying this to my dad?

Question: What can I do about my aunt's drama?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 04:17 AM PDT

She rarely talks to me which means she rarely texts me and emails me. Cos she claims she is too busy with her job and taking care of her husband cos he is sick. Like when I call her on a number that she doesn't recognize she answers it most of the time. But if she recognizes its me then she doesn't answer it. This is my dad's sister. She will call my dad allot and sometimes call my mom tho. But my dad gives personal info about me to my aunt and she wants to know everything about me but at the sametime she barley talks to me. I'm tired of her drama. She is very nosy. What should I do? Cos it's like if she doesn't want anything to do with me then why should she now about me,right? She won't do anything with me. Unless I invite her to my birthday party. Since I do that is she taking advantage of me cos she only comes to my birthday party?

Question: My dad is destroying my life? What should I do??

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 04:10 AM PDT

I'm 23(May 4th). He makes stuff up about me and tells other people lies about me and now no one likes me cos of it. He tells my aunt personal info about me and that. What should I do? My Aunt now hates me.

Question: My mom never lets me play games?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 04:07 AM PDT

My mom won't let me play games no matter what. She refuses to buy me any gaming consoles. She bought me a brand new Samsung Laptop with some pretty hardcore specs and I attempted to play games on it. My mom literally walked in as soon as I loaded the game and told me to get off the laptop. I of course did it because I know she will go apeshit and throw my laptop out the window (she's done it before) if I refuse and try to rebel. If I really want to play a PC game I have to leave the house with some money, tell my mom I'm going to the library, grab some money, and hit a PC bang. The PC bang is like a mile away and I really don't feel like walking all the time. My current GPA right now is 4.1 and I'm not even working as hard as I can to get that. I'm in track and my mile time is 4 minutes and 52 seconds. My resume is practically filled up even though I'm only a 10th grader. She's seen me get my awards before, she's seen me get my medals, why won't she ever let me play an hour of video games for even an hour? (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention she literally kicks open my door in a flash of a second and looks into my room with an evil glare making sure I'm not playing video games or messing around, and tells me to study). She also always asks me if I'm not the top student at my school. I'm probably not the top student, but I'm definitely around the top. Of course I don't tell her that or else she'll make me kneel and beat me the crap out of me. I go to school at 6 AM and leave at 4 PM, and I study from 4-11 PM... That's way to excessive. The brain is like any other muscle and can't be overworked or it will go through muscle failure. I have so much free time and I just want to play a simple video game during that free time instead of staring at my wall listening to music

Question: My parents make me want to kill myself?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 03:05 AM PDT

Firstly, they got divorced when I started high school. I choose to stay with my father, and as much as I love him, he shouldn't have shared that much to me. He was depressed and he cried in front of me a bunch of time, and got drunk all the time. We got into a huge debt because of that also. This really had a huge impact on me, as I went from being an almost straight A student in primary school, to almost having to repeat a year in high school. And because I had such a terrible gpa, I couldn't go to the college I wanted to... Now, they've got back together, and expect me to forget about all that, and pretend like nothing ever happened. After high school, I got a job in constructions. I worked for 10-14 hours a day, and only had 1 day off every 2 weeks. But I got paid more than someone with a college degree, so I really was motivated. I moved out, and started living on my own. However, again, because of my parents (long story), I lost my job and had to move back in with them. They told me they're gonna make it up by paying for my drivers licence... I started taking lessons and I was nearly finished, and they said they changed their mind, so I had to sell some of my stuff, so I could pay for it.. And again, they expect me to pretend like nothing happened, and get angry if I mention any of it, even just to discuss all this. (Did I mention they paid for my brothers drivers licence, who is 3 years younger than me?) I nearly killed myself twice. Do they want me dead? Don't you think there's a fine line between trying to blame someone, and falling into a trap set by those who you trusted the most? I couldn't have possibly myself the driving lessons when I was 17, and that's when my father was most in debt so he couldn't either. After he got back on his feet, it was all forgotten. And I'm not just "blaming everyone for my failures". It's a fact that I almost failed high school because of my depression, caused by THEIR actions. I couldn't have possibly pay for the driving lessons myself when I was 17*

Question: So my grandfather died today?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 03:04 AM PDT

So today my grandfather died at the age of 71. I lived under his roof for the first 15 years of my life( im 21 now) and i have many fond memories of him. Eventually during those first 15 years he had to leave to take care of his older sister in another state at the time. (He was either 62 or 63 when that happened). Now that i look back i feel like that was beginning of the end because he was leaving all of his children and family (we are mostly up north) to take care of his sister in while he needed to be taken cared of himself or atleast looked after (Again he was in his 60s). I feel like that was the beginning of the end for him because each year we went to visit him or vice versa he looked weaker and weaker. Which was an odd thing because growing up my grandfather was always on top of his health. I feel like we let him down in that aspect by not trying to get him back up North. I truly believe if he had never left I wouldnt be typing this right now. I feel so bad that i hardly kept in contact with him. I just idk...i feel terrible.

Question: Horrible host family?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 02:23 AM PDT

Hey guys, I need some help coming up with some options. I moved cities following the completion of high school to gain some independence and work experience during the year. I am staying with my best friends family. It has been 1 month and unfortunately, I haven't got a job yet although every day I am continuously applying. The family I am living with has started to raise my anxiety and boundaries are very unclear. The father spoke to me about how I have nothing going for myself and I have no qualifications and I won't get a job and asks me to not kill myself in their garage.... on top of this unacceptable humour, he blames me that I am not trying hard enough to support myself and that I should not be out on weekends partying (yet he asks me to get out of the house and do things) mind you, there are numerous times I also go out to shopping centres and hand out my resume. Today he said again I have nothing going for myself and Im not trying enough, Im a joke etc and I find it really hard to stay motivated and have a positive outlook when he says these things and then tells me to go out yet it then becomes a problem somehow when it clearly is not effecting me at all. he claims i spend all my money on alcohol and partying.... which I dont. the family also has fights which are sometimes intense and depressing. I kind of want to move out what do you guys think?

Question: I think my grandpa saw me naked?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 01:28 AM PDT

I've been having these really bad shoulder/neck/back pains and so I was trying to sleep the pain off earlier today, but took half my shirt off so that I'd feel the cooling comfort of my blanket under my arm. I guess my grandpa came in to check on me and I think that one of my breasts was showing because I feel like I saw him standing over me trying to cover me or something. Maybe it was an illusion? I'm not sure what to do. I'm embarrassed.

Question: How can I make my parents understand?

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 01:23 AM PDT

So I graduated college in December and I m now working as a registered nurse. I still live at home and I plan on living at home for a bit until I m financially stable. I work PM shift so I don t get out of work until 1130 pm. A few nights, I got home late like around 2 or 3 am after going to a friend s or getting drinks with coworkers and my parents make a big deal out of it. I live in a safe area and I m with a group of people when I go out so I don t see what there is to be scared about. My mom goes, "You don t know these coworkers that well. You don t know what they might do." The bottom line is they don t want me out late because they think something will happen to me. What do I do?
