Even through UK left the EU and we can still stay in the country because we lived here for 10 years. My parents think its much more better is we leave while we can because they feel its not a good idea but the problem is that i got a university place in this country and me and my siblings have no clue on how to speak German i was 8 when i came here and sister was 6 and little brother was 1, So we forgot how to speak German anymore. So like i don't know what to do.

So I was over at his house a few times and I saw his elder brother and Sister. Apparently they have the impression that I'm very rude because I didn't greet them but I really remembered that I did! And the sister said that "She only said hi after I glared at her" and she didn't even say hi back... Sigh what can I do to improve the situation? :-( and I'm definitely Not known as a rude person be it in school/outside haha hence I feel really troubled! Please leave some advice if you guys have any :-(

So I've been living with my dad for about a year now and it's okay I guess. He tends to lose his cool very easily. If he sees dishes or any little type of mess, he flips out, yells at the top of his lungs, and just goes and on repeating the same things over and over again. I've learned how to just accept him as is and not let the words he says get to me- until this morning. This morning I woke up and he was yelling at me about some dishes I had left in the sink the night before. Sometimes I can understand his frustration. But this time, he said something that really creeped me the hell out. In the middle of telling me "I'm lazy, I need to get my fatass up and do something, I'm a pig, etc" he randomly says "idk why you have these tremendous **** when you're a pig" (side note, he said this part in Spanish). I was shocked. I don't understand what he meant by that or why he even said that in the first place. I was still in my bed at this time but was listening to his bullshit once again. This has been racing through my mind all day because it really made me feel uneasy and creeped me the **** out. I've always had my father in my life. As a little girl, I was very attached to him because he was very nice and affectionate with us where as my mom showed us tough love. My relationship with my father has always been pretty good. I just don't know where his comment came from and it's really eating me up. Please help.

I am very sick I have a virus and my sister just delivered a baby and she wants me to be there the problem is I am sick and I don't want to spread anything especially to a new born she said I can ask for a mask and some gloves when I get there. Is this a good idea?

OK so my girlfriend and her little brother has a weird relationship she's 18 and he's 13 and Im kind of jealous I know I shouldn't be but it's the things they do like my girlfriend just got breast reduction in the beginning of the month and like a couple days ago her little brother walked up to her n touched her boob and said " do those hurt" and she said "ouch and yes" like that was kinda of weird to me like just by looking at them you can tell their not fine and I asked my girlfriend why she didn't say anything to him like that isn't nice or you can't be doing that to girls and etc she was like " o you right and stuff I should of said something" o and she still gives her brother baths I told her it was a bit odd that she helps him take baths n shower and stuff if he isn't disabled she say it's because he's lazy and he wouldn't take them if he didn't have help and he would stink she said shes just being a good sister and it's normal she also have 2 other siblings 7 and 5 she gives them baths too thats pretty normal tho she also said she don't give the 13 year old baths anymore she said the last time she done it was when he was 12 he just turndd 13 today he even ask to sleep with her at night and she says yes like isn't he a bit too old to be sleeping with his sister i would understand if it was his mom but its his big sister like he has his own room and everything but yeah is this normal for a sister and brother relationship should I be jealous of it ?

Most parents want their kids to be drs and lawyers... Not mine. They crush every attempt for me to succeed, then claim that it's my choice & my life (after I'm completely crushed & the opportunity has passed, or long before it's possible). They homeschooled me, even though I wanted to go to school in high school so that I could learn more. They made me drop out of even that... So I didn't do years 11 & 12. Meaning I can't get into one of the best dental schools in the country, which I live in the same city as. I was only allowed into our local community college. Now, 4yrs later, I've decided to enrol in the test to see if I can enter a dental school 4hrs away from me.. I hadn't planned on it bc of the distance but my dad asked why that would ever be a problem. I discussed every step of the way with him... Yet now that I've paid for the test and am studying hard, he's saying unless I marry a dude from down there I can't live there alone, and I certainly can't travel there and back daily. It's like they build up my dreams, then crush them. Ita killing me inside. My upbringing and culture is to always respect your parents... But mine don't value or understand higher education like it do. What should I do????

Whenever she comes over to my house, my mom always has a conversation with her. She makes sure that every time she comes over, she cooks something for us. Whenever i leave the room, my mom always talks about stuff like her family, and embarrassing stories about my brother, etc. But when I come over to her house, her mom merely says hi and then turns her back to talk to her daughter. She never cooks anything, and even if my brother comes too she doesnt say anything to him. Is this rude? @sats I appreciate my mother more than anything since i dont even have a father?????

I am seeing a young hold who's very close to me and I don't know what we should do. I'm 13 and I'm a girl. She's 7 and also female.

She beated me for no reason she embarrassed me on prom night she would play horrid pranks on me like putting a laxative in my drink And she was just an overall ***** on my birthday she would always say"another year another year of you being an idiot" Would it be wrong too sjip on her funeral?

I have a friend who is probably the most stubborn person I know...the problem is, he rages hard! Here is an example of what happens; We play a competitive game of some sort, and when he loses he enters rage. He doesn't talk for the rest of the day but when he does it's something really rude about me! The worst part is, he doesn't accept what he's doing. I constantly tell him that he has a rage problem, but he starts yelling at me saying that IM the one with rage issues. He reaches the peak of his rage when I point out he is raging. When I tell him he rages, he says rude things like "You're the one raging!", " why do you always say I'm raging? Your a fricken idiot..." And "shut up! You don't know what rage is!". But that's not the hurtful part, it's the mumbling. After each outburst he mumbles something really mean, like "shut the f**k up you idiot…". And again, when I point out he mumbles he says even more hurtful things while denying he actually does it. And just to point out, he doesn't yell when he rages, he gets really mad and doesn't talk except for mumbling rude things. So my point is, what am I supposed to do? When ever he mumbles and gets all salty it makes me feel a little bit angry and hate his guts. But he is my friend, and I know he is a good person…when he doesn't rage at me that is. (Btw, he is only twelve and I'm fourteen. He thinks just because he's taller he is basically older than me.)

I am 22. My mom is 57 and my dad is 66. I worry a lot because of their age (especially dad's) as my friends' parents are much younger. It may sound a bit silly but this is something that does not allow me to sleep at night making me really anxious. Thanks for your opinions.

Me and my mom butt heads which leads to arguments. Then she yells and curses and I get pissed and yell too. My dad gets caught in the middle of it and ends of getting angry at me. Is this normal!

So, a few days ago I was searching my 17 year old half-sister's Instagram user, and a yahoo answers page came up. Out of curiosity, I clicked on it, and she was asking advice about how to stop cutting... Keep in mind this page is 2 years old. I'm concerned about her, and I don't know whether I should confront her about it? I'm conflicted because it was 2 years ago, and I don't want her to think I've been stalking her online. I don't know her very well, I've just got to know her a bit better in the past year, because we've lived in different countries before I moved to where she's at. I'm a 15 year old girl by the way, and I cut too. We aren't close because we don't know each other well yet, but there are no hard feelings about anything between us or our parents, and we like each other. I'm sorry this is a long question, but what should I do? I'm worried about her. Thanks in advance, -M.

I am 14, almost 15 and not super close to my parents. I think this causes them to see me as a child. They don't really ever take me seriously because they don't think I have real problems or thoughts, so I just don't tell them my thoughts or problems. They think I need to be sheilded from the world, for example, they any time I ask to be on social media (which they both are) they just dismiss me and ask why I need it, but they never give me the chance to prove I can handle it. I also don't have a phone and I don't understand that because they both have the latest iPhone, so we can afford it. They don't even want me to have a cheap flip phone. I go a lot of places without my parents, such as after school programs, where it would help if I could call them, but instead they just count on my friends to have theirs. The other thing is that they don't think I can be a woman yet. My mom only said I could wear any sort of makeup about a week ago and she still says I can't shave any part of my body, which is really embarassing at times, so i always wear long jeans. I understand that they want to keep me safe, but at some point I want to be like other people my age, at some point I have to be allowed to start growing up. It isn't so much of a concern at this age, I know, but I am worried because if they won't even consider it now, how long will it be? Thank you so much!

So I have been smoking for 10 months now. I am active in sports clubs and maintain good grades with a good social life. My mom thinks smoking weed is horribke for me even though it hasn't negatively impacted my life in anyway. I'm my class's Vice President and work hard to do well in school. But all of these things can't convince her that it is a good thing for me. I also work out 4 or 5 days a week at the gymt o keep in good shape. Any ideas?

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I are planning on going to his house to do sexual activities with each other, but not intercourse. However, I told my grandparents (who I live with) that him and I are going to go see a movie, then have lunch and hangout in the park afterwards. My grandparents are very strict and I'm not allowed to be over at his house and I'm also not allowed in his car. On Saturday, my boyfriend and I are planning on getting in his car and driving to his house once my grandfather drops me off at the mall where the theater is. Is this a bad idea? My boyfriend's family has met me before and they're okay with me coming over, as well as lying to my grandparents for me if necessary. My boyfriend is 17 and I'll be 17 in three months and we are both very mature and responsible. Part of me feels guilty because what we're doing is very sneaky and I'm disobeying my grandparent's trust, but I'm never allowed to be alone with my boyfriend despite the fact that up to this point, I've never done anything to lose or harm their trust. Should I go through with the plan?

Like yesterday me my sister and my friend were just playing a game and all of a sudden I get a text from my mom saying... "I m so pissed at you right now" and I don t even know why... I go into the bathroom and I just get yelled at for playing a freaking game and when my sister didn t win I get yelled at. And when I was watching her she got into something (we are only 3 years apart) and my dad comes home I just get the biggest lecture ever. There s a lot more to it. But I m just don t understand why I get yelled at for EVERYTHING!!

I m 16, going to be 17 in August. This upcoming school year I will be a senior. Most of my friends are going to college this fall, so we want to do something to celebrate before they have to go. It would be myself, my boyfriend of 2 years, 2 male friends and 1-2 female friends. I m the youngest of the group. You could say we are a "nerdy" bunch. We all make excellent grades and are pretty introverted, just not around each other! None of us get in trouble or anything. I d like your opinions on what age you think is suitable for this. As a little background information about myself, I m a straight A student and will be graduating with a stole and cords from NSHSS. I ve never gotten into trouble, I don t drink or smoke. My father is a recovering alcoholic and seeing him like that made me decide to NEVER touch alcohol. My parents trust me (and my boyfriend for that matter). I m never home past curfew and actually rarely go out. My friends and I usually stay in. I d like to hear some opinions based on the circumstances. My parents will probably think it unusual, considering none of us are really outgoing or the type to do something like this. We are all pretty pumped and kinda nervous but looking forward to it! We live in Oklahoma but we will be driving to the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. We have all worked very hard to save up money so we can split the cost for everything. Opinions please! Also, any tips on approaching my parents about this? Thanks!

He's been nice to me, asked to send me study materials to help for my exam, caught him staring, texted me with random excuses(like did my grandma make it upstairs ok? like call your grandma lol) then asked to go out for sushi after my exam. HIs grandma and I live in the same apts and he comes here 3 days a week, a year ago I got impatient and called him out on beating around the bush and said a guy w/ a gf couldn't be interested in me, he said he was being friendly and has a gf he's happy with. But the secret stares and the coming around, started dressing nicely since the fight could it mean something else? Also before we got into a fight, He asked one day when giving me gym advice "dont you have a bf to teach you all this?"He asked one day when giving me gym advice "dont you have a bf to teach you all this?"

I'm in Idaho Falls. I dislike it here. Not much here. Some good restaurants but nothing like a Cheesecake Factory. The mall is so so. Nothing big like H&M and Nordstrom. Do you like the city you live in? And what state do you live in?

I'm 15 years old and I don't have my real parents therefore I live with legal guardians... (Little background info) I'm 15. I'm an atheist. My whole family is dead (I didn't kill them, they all passed away over the passed few years. Including my mom, my dad, and my 2 younger sisters) I'm stubborn and like to be by myself. My whole life I've done things on my own and didn't like people coming between anything. But recently life hasn't been easy and as I'm growing I've been realizing somethings that scare me. My life hasn't been easy in the way of my legal guardians tormenting me... They never leave me alone, anything I like is stupid to them. They bring me down on everything, literally everything. (Ex. I want to do something with Real Estate when I'm older, They make it clear I will fail that.) Plus they expect me to rely on them, but I don't... I'm 15 I need to grow up! They just a negative about everything about me and me being atheist makes it no better because they're Christians... I think they hate me because I'm not like they're older daughter who is the opposite of me. And on top of it I can't get a job and it makes me sad cause I like to work... Its rewarding to me and I know I'm 15 but where I live you can get a job at 15. Also I've been realizing things and its hard to explain but its scares me. How can I make this work for myself til I'm 18 at least? I mean how can I just get through this tormenting and going into adulthood til i'm at least 18.

Doctor says I have sinusitis. I don't feel horrible but I don't feel good either. It is really important that I go to my dance classes tonight. Should I go? My parents don't want me to go but they understand why I want to.

She gets angry and screams a lot while saying stuff like I wish you were never born or you'll be dead tomorrow or I'm going to kill you. She threatens me a lot and gets mad over practically nothing, she punches everything around her and throws stuff at me. She occasionally hits me and locks me in my room, I'm 15 and its been going on since I was 8. I'm always really stressed to go home because I know I might not be safe. What should I do?

When ever I visit my cousin house she ignores me that hurts so much I barely go to her house

So I have iron deficiency and one day my mom just started walking me up even though I felt like dying. This went on for weeks and know after one day I just broke so we got into a fight and know my mom hasn't talked to me for a week. My mom is very petty and aggressive when she's mad so she could very well stop talking to me for years (it happened to my sister). I don't know what to, I've already apologized

my cousin and i planned out a day at six flags next tuesday ( which my parents were cool with). however, i had to cancel on my friend bc i have a family issue to go to. my cousin wants to go six flags next saturday. i have tutoring from 10 am to 12 but in order to go to six flags, we need the whole day. this saturday is the only day we can hang out, all the other days i have something to do. my tutor teacher is super chill (college student) and would be fine if i postponed the tutoring date. however, my mom and dad thinks it's "stupid to cancel an educational thing for something you're doing for fun". they think it's rude, and that it's uneducational or whatever. this sunday, we're having a huge family lunch. my cousin plans on asking my mom in front of grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc if i could postpone tutoring. (mom tends to give in when family's around.) but i have a feeling mom will be stubborn about this. we plan on saying that i need a break from hw, tutoring and school. my grandparents and aunts especially will agree. i need some more things to put against my mom and dad to let me postpone tutoring. any ideas? (fyi my parents are strict as hell but i'll take anything at this point).

I'm a 30 year old guy that met this girl that is very interested in becoming friends with me. She keeps on suggesting we go see a movie together. I am interested to do so because as I get older, it's harder for me to make friends and this seems like a great opportunity since she seems interested. My parents keep telling me to stay away from her. They even had the nerve to check her Facebook page and look through her profile and pictures. They told me she has deep issues because she has a lot of pets and goes to support groups for depressed people. I'm very angry that they did this, but the fact that they don't like her (especially without even meeting her) really infuriates me. I admit, I don't know her much either since I only seen her twice, but I think it would only be fair to continue seeing her and getting to know her better and not make judgments too fast. Obviously, I'm an adult and don't have to listen to my parents, but if my parents ever knew that I didn't listen to them and went ahead and continued seeing this girl, they'd hit the ceiling and get mad at me for God knows how long. So how do I avoid this? Just become friends with this girl and never tell my parents? Or should I become friends with her, tell my parents and risk them being very angry with me??

My mom died a few months ago, the first few weeks I was depressed but eventually you have to move on. Anyways, I feel a bit of anger towards my older brother for not going to the funeral, and even more angry when his excuse is that he doesn't care. Here is what I know happened, during his teen years he got into a lot of arguments with my mom. At this time, our step dad left and our mom started seeing her friend. Her new date never bothered me or my younger sibling, probably because we were 10 and 11 at the time, but my older brother who was 16 at the time disagreed. My older brother tried to commit suicide once and when he got out o the hospital, threw full blame at our mom. He tried to run away from home too and once again blamed our mom. Anyways, he left and rarely talked to our mom anymore, just his siblings (us). He only came back to help out the family. Anyways, years already went by, my mom got married to her friend. I'm happy that I have a new father, so is my younger sibling. Our older brother, not so much. And ever since our mom died, our dad has been feeling down. I'm already mad at my older brother, and even more mad now that whenever my older brother comes over to help, mocks our dad. Whenever he sees our dad crying, he calls him a wuss that can't leave filth behind, referring to our mother. Whenever I'm about to fight him, and I know I have no chance of winning being 17 and my brother being 23,my dad steps in and blames himself for my older brother's feelings. In case anyone is wondering what exactly my brother does, he does give us money for gas and food. He comes in to fix things for free. We are a poor family, so he helps us out. He said the price was already paid by our mother giving birth to him and by him not attending her funeral. He says helping the family is enough respect for our mom. I see it as being nice but not respectful when he calls our mom names.

My family doesn't want to be around my husband because he makes things awkward because he doesn't trust my mother around our kids. He has PTSD from a past job & my mother crossed the line with him quite often. So when she's around our kids he watches her like a heal. My dad and brother don't like it, because they want him to be over his anger by now but he's not. He says everytime he tries to move on something else comes up. For instance, she crossed the line by calling him crazy telling him he has mental problems. He's Muslim and she said Muslims are bad people terrorist and don't worship a real God. When it comes to our kids, I wa sexually assaulted by relatives my mother knew about it but did nothing when I was a child. If affects me in my adult life and I finally told him everything. So now he doesn't want her anywhere near our kids or talking to them. I'm frustrated because I want everyone happy like before . If I go see my family without him, he gets mad and leaves the house. So when we get back, he's gone. He goes fishing or camping to ease his mind to turn off his kill reflex as he calls it. He was PO and was in three shootings killing two people which my mom said shooting someone is part of the job and not a big deal. I feel I have no options but I want my kids to know their grandparents. Do I cut my family off or do I see them sparingly but have an angry husband ? Thanks

Me and my mother began to argue about me staying home alone by myself all day. She always leaves me home alone when she's at work, but she feels uncomfortable leaving me alone from 9:00AM-11:00PM. I felt frustrated because I began to think she lacked trust in me. I asked her for the third time if I could stay home alone and she literally burst and began to scream at me. I began to scream back and I asked her what had happened in that car and why she started acting that was out of nowhere. She told me to watch my mouth and simply ignored me and watched TV. I feel pity in myself but I have a problem talking back to my mother. How do I stop this from happening? Please help.

My brother is 4 years elder than me. I'm 17 but since i was 10 we stopped talking. When we were smaller we used to play a lot together but as we were growing, we started to fight a lot. He was no more the same. He used to hit me and my mother would always prove him right. Then one day my mother told me to stop talking to him to prevent any future fight. I was little. So i could not decide anything and we stopped talking. But the case is still the same. He do not like my presence. I try to talk to him but he never replies and even if he does, he is rude. I try to do things to bring us close. But i cannot. My mother tells me when i will marry, that day he will cry becoz i am going. But it does not have any sense. Right now i am in front of his eyes and he do not talk to me so it would not affect him. should i try more to talk to him or just leave it??

I'm a 17 year old girl and I've been raised by a single father throughout my entire life. My mom died when I was only four months old, and I don't have any siblings, so it's always just been me and my dad. The two of us are extremely close and can talk about nearly everything. I'm even comfortable ranting to him about guys and relationships. But of course, like most father/daughter relationships, the one thing we never ever talk about is sex. I was raped about a week ago, and I know that I should've immediately told my dad, but I've been putting it off. I'm planning on telling him very soon, and I want to know what to expect. I'm aware that it'll be awkward, but what else? Do you think he'll cry? Will he freak out and go try to hurt the guy who did it? What should I brace myself for?

Ok let's try to make this fast Recent high school grad went to college dropped out to not liking it plan on going back but idk yet. So last night my cousin stopped me while I was going to my room I already knew what was happening. This guy stopped me we were talking about cars then I told which one I plan on getting I said the Scion FR-S he says you're not going to get any pussy in that only white boys and asians drive that car then he said normal black guy cars are Dodge Chargers, Impalas and other not ugly but not my taste in cars. Then he goes on to say that it's girly the reason I'm getting it because it's small it matches, it's a two seater the only kind I like because you can't haul people in it I'm not a taxi, and frankly it's the kind of car I like so I told him like it or not I'm getting that type of car so stop disrespecting me. Then this guy goes on to say I don't respect my mother because I don't say yes ma'am or no ma'am this guy thinks I don't respect my mother most times when she talks I don't speak till she finished unless she crossed the line parents or anybody don't get to disrespect me just cause (just the way I am, you disrespect me I disrespect you two way street.) I feels I should just bend over and take it like a dog. Not knowing I do things for my family like clean and cook which nobody appreciates which is very disrespectful. Alright this is getting long sorry for the rant just venting to strangers. Not to mention this guy is 30 something and living with my grandma with a college degree only paying 200 dollars a month and never even thinks about doing anything to help out around the house but always complains it's dirty. mind you he's blind but he's an asshole he thinks so lowly of people I can't take him. I told him well if you don't like hire a maid to clean it he said yeeeaaah I should. I'm like guy you brag about making 60k a year which i think he's lying but too cheap to hire a maid.

I'm an 18 year old girl and I have two brothers who are much older than I am. One is 26 and the other is 36. They're both my full brothers — we all have the same mom and dad. I have nothing at all against the 36 year old, but I'm closer to the 26 year old. It's not that I see him more (I see both of them AT LEAST three times a week), but we're closer in age and have more to talk about. My oldest brother and I very rarely talk one on one just because we aren't extremely close, but we get along well in a group setting. In a couple of weeks, I have to go somewhere that's about two hours away. I'm scared of driving on the highway, so my 36 year old brother is going to take me. It'll just be the two of us alone in the car. I'm never alone with him, and I'm nervous that the experience will just be two hours filled with awkward silence because we won't have anything to talk about. He's not a complete stranger to me or anything, but, like I said, we just never really talk alone. What kind of stuff should I talk about with him?

Hi I am 13yrs old and the other day my brother cashed his car thank god he wasn't hurt but he needs €€€ to fix it and he doesn't have a job and has been looking for one but I do in a bar collecting glasses and I hate it but it's my only source of money to pay for my luxies but I was thinking about giving my job to my brother (boss doesn't mine) but should i

my parents do weed they cant go anywhere without it if we go to the beach or the pool or on vacation they have to bring it with them. they cant even buy his kids food they go to a food pantry where some of the food is even expired they cant pay there mortage and there kids dont even have underwear. they risk the life of there kids because he smokes weed then drives with his kids in the car i honestly dont want anything to do with them anymore but i have no where to go do you people think my parents are sick please give your opinion on this

I'm 18, just graduated, and my dad is already asking if I've found a husband yet. Like, what the hell, is there some world law saying men may only marry 18 year olds? (For those wondering, we are not Muslim or any religion stating that women are to marry and make children. We are Christians, though I'm coming from Buddhism. The main problem is my skin. I have eczema and I tend to scratch or rub. My dad tells at me that my eczema wont get better and no man will ever want me (first hint to the whole you must be married right now, along with mangy dog, *****, ****, etc.). The other is I have ADD and tend to have things slip my mind, along with severe depression (usually resulting in ADD ***** getting directed at me, along with ugh you're such a klutz. You will make a terrible wife.). I really needed to get this out, I need to say it otherwise I'll become a psychopath and probably hurt someone. I want to marry someone I really love and not just for money or social status. I want to marry because I'm in love. He hasn't laid a hand on me, just insulting me telling me I'm ugly and will get fat without a husband, even mentioning in front of my friend during a Skype call. Sorry I had to post about such a stupid thing, I just really got angry and this is opposed to more dangerous and management ways.

I told her to stop and lightly pushed her away from and she started crying... Am I a horrible sister...? I'm 14 and she's 12..

My daughter (she's gay) is planning to ask her girlfriend (she's also gay) to marry her, but because the girlfriend is closer to her grandmother my daughter thought it would be better to ask for the grandmother's blessing. Her parents are still alive and it's sounds like she hasn't considered involving them at all. If the roles were reversed, I'd like the girlfriend to ask me and my wife before anyone else. Parents=priorities. In your opinion, do you consider this disrespectful? Do you think my daughter should have sat Mom and Dad down to ask permission before going to Grandma? Or asked all three at the same time? In fact I think the girlfriend is almost as bad. I've heard them talk about their potential wedding and she wants Grandma to give her away and it seems like she (well both of them really) are excluding her parents from this wedding altogether. I haven't heard much about the parents, from what I have heard they don't seem to have problems with the relationship. So why are the girls blocking them out?

My 70 year old father in law married the antichrist (after meeting her online and knowing her for a month) and last Christmas was a NIGHTMARE!! Since we were staying at his house (which is in the middle of nowhere) things got very uncomfortable! Half way through the week and a half long vacation, I wanted to check into a hotel and the other siblings felt the same because this woman is horrible plus my FIL was yelling and freaking out over little things to maintain control! It made us feel unwanted or like we were intruding. My FIL must have felt the tension from us because once we all left, he was practically begging all of us in an email to visit again this year. I know 2 siblings and their families made other plans for this Christmas using the excuse to visit the spouse's parents this year. My 6 year old loves the house in the hills with the snow and being with her cousins and my husband usually only gets to see his elderly dad once a year so this year should we get a hotel and drive to their house every day in the snow with a rental for visits or try to pray a LOT and attempt to stay at their house one more time this Christmas? If it were completely left up to me, I'd never go back but I have to consider my family. And I'm not exaggerating, it was really that bad.

My son's father hasn't been in his life and abandoned me pregnant. He did show up and help me out with my son when he was born for a very short while. I thought he had changed at the time of my son's birth and thought he was ready to be a dad so I gave my son his last name. My son will be three in a couple months and his dad is not in his life what so ever. Im currently seventeen. Will be turning eighteen a month after my sons third birth day. I do receive Medicaid for both my son and myself through my mom since im a minor. My mom doesn't care for my son or myself anymore. I have no access to our insurance cards, birth certificates, or ssc. She will not let me have them. I am trying to figure all this out before my eighteenth birthday. Would I have problems getting my son Medicaid without filing for child support? Or would it become a problem? Yes I am looking for a job im trying to get on my feet. Please no rude comments about my age.

They're very protective I asked my dad to give me a reason as to why he doesn't let me sleep over, he said "rape" and he knows the parents, I don't see why they don't let me ?

So the title says it all. I snuck out of my house to have sex with someone. I know i shouldn t have and i know everything like that but right now I just really need advice on how to deal with it because I was screamed at and feel really bad

I'm always on my laptop since I am not allowed to go out because I was smoking weed and got caught, I am always trapped in the house and I never get to go out by myself, if I were to ever go out it'd be with family and that happens rarely. Right now I am obsessed with my laptop and school is over and my parents (mostly my dad) is being a bit strict on me, today as I'm typing this after it happened, he said "I'll sell your laptop if this keeps happening." I didn't say anything back to avoid arguing with him, if I were to say something back it'd either be him snatching my laptop away for good or he'd hit me, and also I turn 18 this year. I am finally stress free about school because of summer break and my parents are ruining it, I am stuck in the house all day, they expect me to sleep early when I have an addiction to my laptop (if there is such a thing) Can anyone tell me what I can do about this? Also, I'm not allowed to get a job till I finish high school, so I won't be able to do that over the break.

Hello. I am an 18 year old male who is currently in a sexual, no strings attached relationship with a 51 year old man. We have been in this 'relationship' for an entire year as of last week (I know I was underage when we started, so please don't lecture me) and while I have no plans to stop it anytime soon (I am not stopping no matter hat anyone says), I am having a problem where my father is getting more suspicious by the day. I have never liked relationships with guys my age and in fact I have never liked relationships at all; just the sex (especially with guys older than 40). On average, I would say I have sex with this guy about two to three times every day, or at least once a day and rarely do we go an entire 24 hours without some form of sexual act. The problem I have, is that most of the time, he leaves some form of mark (usually hickeys, even though I tell him not to) and of course my father has seen them when I come home, and he has started to questions me and is asking to see the girl I am with. He doesn't know I am gay and he certainly doesn't know that I am with a guy who is 51, but I know at some point I will need to tel him, especially because I am moving in with the guy in six months time. I know I could just tell my dad that we broke up and leave the house like planned, but I guess you could say I want him to know everything about me The good and the bad. So how do I tell him that I am gay and how do I tell him about my relationship with this 51 year old guy?

Hello, so basically, I've come to realize and ignore how my parents treat me differently than my straight siblings, but, it's been eating me up lately. The thing is, they do it subtly, almost subconsciously. I'm about to get married to my fiance, and my dad, who unfortunately is a Republican, hasn't said congratulations to my engagement but acknowledges us. My mother would constantly joke around my brother and my sister to when they're having kids, when my mom discourages my fiance and I from having kids because its "too much work...". Also, she is attending our wedding, and is lives in another city. When my brother got married, which was recently, my mom was gushing over social media about how proud and excited she was, yet, she hides the fact she's coming to our wedding. I've been trying to ignore these subtle insults to who I am as a person, due to high level stress at work and overall daily life. Though, these past few days, they've been impossible to ignore and my because they do it so subtly, it's hard to confront them about because they'd say I was just sensitive, when in reality, it's a fact and it hurts.

It seems ever since highschool (and after) my mom and I argue about everything. From school stuff to just home stuff we just never see Eye to Eye. It's like the second I have something to say that doesn't agree with her I'm wrong and nothing I say is right because I am a "child" it all started when she would ask me to clean something I'd clean it thought I'd do well and she would go behind me tell me everything I did wrong and just re clean it the WAY she wanted to soon I just started getting frustrated so I stopped cleaning when she told me to (this was about softmore year of high school) and she would eventually do it her self as she would after If i would clean it. But she would always get mad and when I told her why she would go "I don't do that!" Which she always dose. And if she judges a person for how they act or dress I tell her that it's not right to judge and shes like "you can not tell me that dressin like that or acting like that is okay?" And I shrug and normally say if it's not hurting anyone then no and then it just gets into this whole thing about how I don't know what I am talking about and how I'm just a kid. And about 3 years ago I got a debit card from my Dad (who is not with my mom BTW) and every other Friday he puts money on it usually $150 sometimes more on special occasions and normal my mom didn't mind what I used but card on! She would say "it's your money go do what you want!" And now recently my Dad's only been able to put on a little here (cont.) And a little there and now suddenly when I have like No money! It not just my money it's also my mom's and we get into arguments about what to spend it on! I don't work (yet! But soon) so this card is my main source of income don't you think it would be more beneficial give money to my mom when I have more on the card then fightin over who geta to buy what with it when there is only 40$ on it? And it just seems like what I want to do carrier wise (lit/drama teacher) isn't good enough for her.. Like I have to be a special Ed teacher like her! Which I just don't want to do! I won't want to go to school for something of I am not going to enjoy it because my motivation will be crap! Plus I decided to be a teacher for the things I love instead of being an actual actor or singer so I made a more practical decision....

Ever since I was very young i've known my dad watched porn but he would be discreet. But as I grew older he just started not caring anymore. It bugs me so much not necessarily because he watches porn cause I know its normal for people to do so sometimes.What does bug me is how offen he watches it, he watches it every day for hours and doesnt even try to hide it he plays it so loud he could be across the house and I can hear it playing and just recently i've walked on him jerking off twice with the door open.The main reason that this bugs me is that growing up I would hear my parents argue about how my mom feels insecure and disrepected that my dad watches porn so often and then he goes on denying it and gets defensive about it and asks for her to trust him like no we all know what your doing. I have grown apart from him due to him not respecting my mom and not taking in the way my mom feels and also because ive caught him texting other girls he doesn't know ive caught him though and before anyone says its my moms fault for letting go no it isnt she has maintained her shape and looks realy young so no and shes sometimes the one that drops the sexual hints and tries to do that stuff so no my mom isnt pushing him away anyways.So should I confront him and also how.This is really bugging me cause I know I will just blow up and id rather do this when im more controlled of myself rather than a heat of an argument (my mom doesnt know my dad texts other girls)

I'm 13 and I'm not as stupid as most people think and I know what's happening even if my parents don't tell me but this isn't about me it about my 21 year old brother.im worried about my brother because he has done weed and drank a lot and he's on the same path again.i hate to say this but my brother is a loser I love so much that when I smelled weed coming from his room I just dropped to the floor and cry. I know I know why are you going here for family issues? Well my parents won't listen to me there not bad parents but they don't take me seriously well who would take a 13 year old seriously but back to the topic my parents don't take this seriously my mother cried over this and they don't do anything so should I tell my parents he should go to therapy?

He s only 4 years old. It seems like people (especially my friends) are always going out of their way to make him laugh, wether by acting goofy, tickling him (he s extremely ticklish all over) jokes, etc. It seems like they re trying really hard (and it works). I m a really young father and an only child, so I have little prior experience with kids. Is this normal?

Hello, my name is Elliott and I am an 18 year old male from England, who is currently living on my own, working part time, and starting classes in the fall (in the US). I was raised by adoptive parents, after my biological parents weren't deemed capable of raising me (due to verbal, physical, and sexual abuse). I turned 18 roughly 2 months ago and while I am still coming to terms with what my biological parents did to me, I still have a lot of issues with things such as trust, fears of abandonment, and harm. I decided to vow to Celibacy, because I do not find interest in having an intimate, close relationship with anyone and I certainly never wish to have sex ever again with what my father did to me. It is out of my own personal preference and since telling my parents this, they have told me that I am being silly and having a relationship with someone is important in life. I don't have friends, I hate being around other people and my parents are always trying to push me into relationships I do not want. They are wonderful people with open hearts and they mostly accept me for who I am (as well as my decisions not to get therapy for what happened in my childhood), but for some reason they think Celibacy is the most ridiculous thing in the world. They tell me that I should be like other's my age; Wanting a relationship, having sex, creating bonds with someone. How do I explain to them in my terms, that relationships and sex is not for me? I wish to be single and alone.

So a few months ago, I went to my homeland for holidays. When I go there, I stay at either my grandparents house (mums parents) or my other grandmas house (dads mum). There's construction work going on in my dads mums house so now she lives right across the road of my mums parents house. When my cousin from my mums side came, he stayed at my grandparents house and I would just be floating around as the houses I stayed in were just right across the road and I could go to either one of the houses anytime I want. Once I was staying in my grandmas house and mum was going out with her parents so she warned me to avoid going to that house coz my cousin was the only one there. My cousin is a guy and his...lets just say his not a very good guy. After they went, he called me and was forcing me to come. I was like okay but I would go in 10 minutes. After I went, he would come sit on the couch I was sitting on and act like he was sleeping just so I would stay longer. What intention do you think he had?

I live with him and my mom. I've never considered my stepdad my dad or a fatherly figure. I have 3 half-brothers, and my stepdad is their real dad. He calls me a brat, selfish, stupid, and a *****. He is a control freak and it's terrible. He basically encourages mt brother's to treat me like ****, too. They constantly call me a *****, a whore, fat, stupid, whatever they can think of really. My mom will do absolutely nothing about any of this and almost always sides with them. It's like I'm an outlet, blame me for the boys having attitude problems. I can't even get out of the house. He's the one that takes away my phone & grounds me. He won't take me anywhere, yet he likes to play the parent when it comes to punishments and lectures. He demands respect from me, but gives me none. When I was 12, I had two diaries, He stole them and read them, and wouldn't give them back, He justified this by saying he paid for them, so they were his. My dad pays over $300 dollars a month in child support, but I often have to skip a meal bc they're too lazy to get food, I only get new shoes and clothes on holidays/my birthday. They use my child support only for their bills and whatever else they need money for, I feel helpless. I can't say anything when he calls me names because he'll ground me for a month for talking back, My worst fear is growing up like him and my mom. I can see parts of them in myself, parts that I really hate. There's so much more, but this is all yahoo will let me write.

My sister in law is a freeloader she wants anything free free free on somebody's expenses. She would ask family members to go to theme park and then says she has no money so the family members feel pitiful then of course will help paying tickets for her and her kids. Unfortunately, it happens quiet often on my husband, which he feels obligated for some reason. The last vacation we took one of her sons with us. The kid asks us to buy gifts for his family, then told his family all the gifts that he bought for them come from him. It's not something I'd feel proud of if that was my child. Am I being mean because now whenever that kid asks to go with me in the store I say NO (he will ask me to buy things for him. I bought a lot of things for him and now I'm tired of feeding his habit like his mom)
