Question: Am I doing the right thing?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 02:11 PM PDT

I really have no idea whether or not I am making the correct decision. so here is some background. I have two very abusive parents. I do not live with anymore. I have my own home. The problem is that I have young siblings that I really want to see but if I am to see them, I will have to have a civil relationship with my parents. Although I have forgiven them to a certain extent, I know that they are bad people who I cannot trust. Should I just walk away completely or try to get along with them to see my young siblings?

Question: Guys how would you react if your best friend slept with your younger sister? Read please?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 02:00 PM PDT

So my older bro and I are 7 yrs apart. I've pretty much known his best friend my whole life. I always had a childhood crush on him and he was my first kiss when I was 13. He would flirt with me a little and we snuck small kisses here and there. My brother never found out because I knew he'd be angry since I was underage. Well last month I turned 18 and had been trying to hook up with my brothers best friend but he would always beat around the bush with agreeing. And then the other day I was hanging out with my brother and his friends when they brought up that my brother has a strict "don't touch my little sister" rule with his friends. I always thought his issue was just an age thing but a seven year gap between adults isn't that bad. I just want an opinion on what you think would be most likely to happen. Clearly I have feelings for this guy but I don't want to do anything that would risk his 10+ year friendship with my brother. I don't know if my mind is just blowig things out of proportion. Like if things get a little awkward we can all deal but I don't want there to be an argument. What do you think?

Question: Is My Mom Lying To Me?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 01:53 PM PDT

So 1 month ago my mom ordered me this drink that some of your may know of called (GFuel) it's just an energy supplement and my moms bought me two of them before. So They were having a sale about a month ago and since I already tried it I gave my mom money and she just used her credit card to buy it. So usually it takes 2 weeks to arrive during sales and when it arrived I was at a friends house and my mom said on the phone "I brought it to my work so none of your neighbors would steal it" which is weird cause I had all my other g fuel there and no one ever tried to steal it. Then convincingly there replacing the floors at her work the next day which I think could be a coincidence but my mom says "I'll try to get it tomorrow" and stuff like "the floors will be done tomorrow" and then the next day comes around and she repeats it. So it's 2 weeks later now and I still don't have it. I feel like she never bought it and is just making up lame excuses. My moms never done anything like this before but I feel like she would if she wanted too. Also I'm 13 and it's not like my mom doesn't like the drink cause she got it for me so I would stop drinking coffe

Question: Is me or my mom fault that I hate her ?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 01:51 PM PDT

At the age of 7 my mom kicked my dead out because he was an alcoholic and he put his hands on her . I don't think it really effects my life , I wouldn't want to see him even now but after that it felt like I've grown up with no parents my mom never displined me at all but doesn't make any excuse why I'm so disrespectful. I tell her I hate her every chance I get and just the sound of her voice gets me so angry ... I do this because she never really care about my needs , she just says that I put a roof over her head but she never buys us close even if she has the money says to eat the old chicken from last week when she goes out to eat even though her boyfriends paying and she doesn't even care enough or notice to take me to the doctor cuz I'm obviously okay . I had to beg her to take me to the doctor and turns out I might be right . She just doesn't take care of me I've had to raise myself and now I'm more ****** up in the head than ever . The sound of her voice just makes me want to disappear and die because all she does is yell and Blame me for everything and the payback I give her is by telling how much I hate her because, she is so stupid and doesn't see that just because there's a roof over my head doesn't mean I'm okay and that she deserves my respect because she gives me none . And I know it's wrong and I hate myself for how extremely disrespectful I am but u can't help it just comes out like word vomit.

Question: How to get my overprotective parents to let me hang out with people?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 01:40 PM PDT

Ever since I was little my parents have been very overprotective and have barely let me hang out with people. It is extremely common for people to cancel other plans to try to hang out with me and my mom to cancel our plans last minute, no matter how it affects them. However, they could care less where my brother goes and what he does. No matter how good of grades I get or try to be like him, they are still overprotective- it doesn't matter if it is a girl or a boy. It has gotten even worse since they found out that I did sexual things with my ex of a year. However, my brother snuck a girl into his room once and they ignored the whole thing because she left before they could find her- but my mom & I both heard the girl in our house talking to him. I am a junior in highschool now and I would really like a social life, especially since I'm moving and I won't have my old friends who are understanding of my situation. Advice would be great. *it doesn't matter if I am trying to hang out with a girl or a boy It is also a problem because some people take this situation as me just being a ***** to them and trying to mess with them, and that I don't really want to hang out.

Question: Why do people think i am a mean person when i tried to standing up for myself?

Question: My mother is teaching me how to be selfish ... ?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 01:25 PM PDT

My mother has always told me that I was bratty and selfish. I live under her house and I am sixteen. She has always hated my boyfriend of five years, which is why we hid it from her for three years because she has always influenced me to break up with him. It's been a year now that my parents know and we broke up. I own five bunnies and one of them needs to be neutered. My mother suggested that I do some "please??" techniques on how to get my boyfriend to neuter one of my bunnies which is fifty bucks. My mother has told me she also taught this technique to her cousin who is now a gold digger. The next day I stormed into my mother's room because my boyfriend broke up with me because I can never go out and hang out with him to simple things like the movies and everytime he comes over he gets a complaint from me about how always late he is. Whenever he is late my parents critisize him and say that he doesn't love me because he is always late. I was very upset and yelled at him. Anyways everytime I ask my mother to go to the movies she has said no five times. I ask the reason why and she simply won't give me one. I'm sick of her allowing me to 'use' him to take me to restaurants so I could bring home food to them. I'm also sick of her not lettting me out when I am sixteen years old and I'm old enough to go on dates. Am I being bratty? Am I being selfish as she said? My father hates my boyfriend because he doesn't want to come over? BUT he has ten times!?

Question: Never been in my boyfriend house?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 01:11 PM PDT

He has his bay mother living there. He says cause she doesn't work he does not want the mother of his kid homeless I go her Facebook and she sits at home just posting statuses she looks might comfortable. She always post about how he cheated on her she will show her daughter better I'm tired of not being allow in cause he don't want disrespect her. He claims she has no friends or family move in with. Either she lying cause she wants to stay get back together or he lying. Not like she lived with him since she was born

Question: Can my mom really get full custody of me?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 01:06 PM PDT

My mom told me if I wasn't nicer to her she'd sue for full custody of me. She feels my father does a bad time rasing/influencing me and in result I'm a bad person. Now when she says nicer it makes me sound like a mean rebellious teen. Truth is I'm not a bad person I just don't get along with my mom. She's some what controlling, my opinion doesn't seem to matter and she feels she knows more than I ever would. I'm almost 17 so the thought of her getting full custody of me at my age sounds pretty stupid. Currently she gets get me and my sister(13) half the week. And I know her saying this was just a little threat to get me to do something. But I feel life would be better with my dad becuase he helps me more than my mother ever would/could. When I say helps me I mean though he pays child support he still buys me and my sister all of our cloths, glasses, school supplies and well basic common needs. This doesn't mean my mother doesn't provide me with basic needs it's just with her money's so tight or so she says that asking for things means getting into fights for no true reason. Along with that my dad also helps more with school work and planing for my future. Now I'm not saying my mothers a bad person we just don't get along. So I'm just curious how full costly would work meaning I have some questions. First off because of my age if any custody battle did happen again wouldn't this time I have say in who I live with? Second if it did happen again how would it work?

Question: I think I just saw a ghost HELP?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:56 PM PDT

I saw this lady when I was going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Smiling, wasnt a creepy smile but a warm smile. I described her to my grandma and she said that the description sounds like her mom. Please help? I've seen her twice now, always having a warm smile and standing there for one second but is gone the next. I haven't ever met my great grandmother in my life so why would she wanna see me? I'm 14 now and she doesn't appear in front of other family members eyes. She died right before I was born. She took care of my mom and her siblings when they were kids. But never had the chance to meet me when she was alive, my mom said that she was excited to become a great grandmother when she heard my mom was having a baby.

Question: What might be wrong with my brother? Read below....?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:11 PM PDT

My brother is 20 and he has a weird obsession with Christmas. About this time of year he starts worrying that he won't be able to see both parents and both sets of grandmothers at Christmas. As a kid our mother was not good about supporting a two parent relationship after her divorce. She put her negative feelings about our Dad onto us. Our Dad never fought her over this for some reason. So come about age 15 my brother developed this strange obsession about Christmas. He became terrified our mother wouldn't let us see our Dad at Christmas. She didn't allow us to some years when we were little but once my brother started having this fear my mother stopped restricting us and we have seen him every year since plus we are older now. Years that we couldn't see our Dad we missed out on seeing his parents and the rest of his family also. So now my brother has this fear we won't see our Dad (his new wife) and our grandmother on our Dad's side (grandfather died). So what might be the cause of this? Is it like a PTSD thing? My brother is always an anxious person and in therapy. He has severe anxiety and something called OCD. Any thoughts? Any ways I could help? He has begun with the Christmas talk in the past two weeks or so and it will get real persistent come September.

Question: Are my parents abusive?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:06 PM PDT

My parents are very nice and provide me with things I need like clothes and food, but they just seem really distant emotionally. I live with my mom and grandma because my dad is working halfway across the world, and whenever my mom seems stressed out or angry, she takes it out on me. It happens about every other day, she'll get angry and then snap/yell at me if I do something incorrectly. Then we'll sit in silence because neither of us wants to say anything. I'm not sure if this is actually that abusive, but it makes me feel really bad, kinda like I'm worthless because of the things she says. When my dad visits, he is normally pretty okay, but the same thing happens with the snapping. Also whenever I don't understand things right away, he makes this noise that sounds kind of like a donkey. It's his impression of somebody with a mental illness, and it's really offensive and makes me feel kind of like he hates me. (He's also not very open to the idea that I'm not perfect, and seems to push me really hard, like making me take the SAT in middle school to get a "head start".) I've talked to both of them about me having social anxiety, but neither of them seem to understand, and brush it off like I'm saying it for attention. Both of my parents have very people-oriented jobs, and it gets me really anxious whenever I have to meet new people, but they tell me to get over my fear. Is this abusive, or am I just overreacting? When I say that they are nice people, I mean they get along well with others, and people don't seem to see anything wrong with our family.

Question: My mother has fun holding grudges against other family members but forgives people outside family. Is this normal?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:06 PM PDT

Is it normal to forgive people not related but hold grudges in the family? My mother seems to enjoy it like an addiction. She never holds grudges against her kids or her parents or husband but the rest of the family (the extended family) she does.

Question: Since I have a brother who is a total bum will people judge me?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:03 PM PDT

My Dad says no everyone has a lousy sibling in big families but I worry they might.

Question: I hate my stepbrother can I kill him?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:00 PM PDT

Yesterday he broke my the screen of my dad's Apple II and now I can't play Battle Chess anymore. I'm pretty sure he deserves to get stabbed for that. Right?

Question: Can anyone help me find information on my father? Darrick Frank Clark 12/30/1966 Location: Philadelphia, PA?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 11:43 AM PDT

I have not had contact with him in over 10 years. I am now 23, but can not find any info on his whereabouts since he's been out of prison or the mental hospital. Thanks.

Question: Why does my baby cry when his grandma talks to him?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 11:31 AM PDT

Everyone in my family spoils my 4 month old. But for some reason when my mother in law talks to him he just burst into tears. At first I thought maybe because she spoils him the most and always doing the baby voice or because her voice is high pitch. But it keeps happening. I don t know what it is. My mom talks to him in a baby voice too but he s calm with her. Both grandmas visit him once a week. What can it be? She always holds him and he s fine but once she starts to talk to him is when he does that. My mom heard him do it when I was on the phone with her and she thinks it s a cry that he s scared. Not sure though.

Question: Family drama involving family friends? Everything's spiraled out of control?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 11:26 AM PDT

Last week my aunt was invited to her friend's beach house for vacation and to celebrate the latter's birthday. The people who all went were those two, my mother, my sister, the friend's son, and I; so three middle-aged women and three HS teenagers. My aunt was dissatisfied with the trip, saying that the friend "dominated" the vacation (because her friend had the only house key; therefore if all of us were to split up, the others would have to wait on her to arrive). She abruptly left on Sunday, and my mom and sister left as well because Mom had to go back to work. However, I was invited to stay for a few extra days, mostly due to the recent arguments with my family. It was believed that a couple of days apart would ease tensions. Everyone was completely fine with this. Yet the next day is when everything started to fall apart. My aunt did a complete 180 on Monday and started sending a series of awful texts to the friend. These lasted all week and I have no idea how or why it began. She insulted all three of us in the process. Things went from bad to worse when the friend actually had a heart attack Wednesday night. My aunt, upon finding out on Thursday, yelled at me on the phone for ten minutes. She was angry that she hadn't been notified, and that I had spent the night in the hospital. She then refused to believe that the heart attack had happened at all, and said that I had to be back by 8:00 Friday night or she would contact the authorities. Long story short, I arrived back home around 11. My aunt has said very little to me since. She says that she will never speak to her "friend" again. Also, her and Mom (who said nothing to the friend all week) have both stated that they don't want me talking to either the friend or her son (whom I've actually known for a few months; we go to the same school). I don't know why everything's fallen apart. Could someone please help?

Question: What should I tell my family?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 11:15 AM PDT

My brother was asking me about a haircut and my mother was asking me about new shirts,shoes,and pants for school. I unsure about a haircut. The problem is that I'm worried that my family will not let go to school without a haircut. Does everyone have to get a haircut for school? Every year before the new school year during summer break I'm forced to get a haircut. How do I gain control of my own hair? I feel pressure when they ask me questions. Should I feel pressure about any of their questions? Why does everyone in general change their appearances for the new school year? My family always pressures me with questions. It seems like their questions are always about how can i change my appearance. I want to be able to answer their questions without feeling any pressure.

Question: Help? My uncle roscoe has been coming on to me I think?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 10:50 AM PDT

It all started at the Thanksgiving Family Football Game, we were playing, Uncle Roscoe being the macho man he is was playing Quarterback. He told me he needed me to snap the ball to him, and as a center the quarter puts their hands under the centers legs to receive the snap (This is true I play/watch football) but he was rubbing my leg/inner thigh in a weird way. Ever since he has been rubbing me, inviting me in his bedroom ect. Every. Single. Holliday. Christmas/Kwanzaa/Easter/My Birthday/At my graduation awards day thing AKA last day of school. This may seem like a troll but it is not. Is it weird I like it when he rubs my inner legs? :L Im 16

Question: Why is my 11 year old daughter a head of her age?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 10:10 AM PDT

My 11 year old daughter (She will be 12 at the end of October) Is so ahead of her age. And its really weird. In school her teacher always tells me that she spells better than some college students can and everything, and she has better grammar than most college students. Also, everyone always says she is very smart and self sufficient. Everytime I go to a family reunion everyone is always saying how she is the most well behaved kid and that she is so mature for her age. SERIOUSLY! The other day at Civil Air Patrol... She was the only one that was not an official cadet and was the only one that was taking it serious and acting mature. The leader asked, "What are the characters a leader needs?" Other kids were replying, "I don't know." And shrugging their shoulders... (some kids had reasonable answers) But she was the only one out of a few kids that had a reasonable answer, her answer was, "Maturity, Kindness, Respect, and responsibility." She's also a head in puberty and looks like a 13/14 year old. (No kidding, people always think she's around that age) I'm allowing her on social media when she's 12 because I think she's ready for it. And she definitely earned it by showing maturity. Is it strange that her brain and body is developing so fast? I don't want her to grow up on me that fast! O: I remember 9 years ago... I came back from Iraqi Freedom and she was just a little toddler sitting next to me always being my little girl. And now... She is thinking about Joining the Air Force when she's older and do cyber warfare.... Like WOW KID! Thats why she's gonna do Civil Air Patrol. Stop growing up so fast. I'm glad she wants to follow my footsteps by joining the military. (Except I was army) It's a bit difficult for her to socialize at the moment. We just moved from AZ to NY. But I know she'll do fine when the school year starts again. This year we will homeschool her. So we will take her to Homeschool Group, Youth Group, Civil Air Patrol, and dance. :D

Question: Should I lie to my mom?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 10:03 AM PDT

I want an extension on my curfew because my boyfriend and I are going to see the movie that's hardly in any theaters and the closest one is an hour away with the earliest showtime at 8pm but if I go with him there's no way I'm going to make it back by 11pm since the movie is 2 hrs and 30 mins long. And she already doesn't like him and I know she's going to complain about she doesn't want me going that far away from home with him in the middle of the night but I was thinking of maybe telling her I'm going somewhere with my best friend that ends late so I won't have to go through fighting with her over it. Should I just lie about it since I'm sure she'll say no if I decide to be honest?

Question: Dealing with an overly controlling step father.?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:59 AM PDT

We cannot move or use the coffee table because of his preference of where it is and what it's purpose is. He tells his son that he is weird for bringing a sandwich on a 7 mile kayak trip. He tells me I'm a stupid young child that's not allowed to defend my step sister for being an atheist, and that we need to be careful before we disagree with him and label ourselves as something as despicable as that. I wasn't even labeling myself as an atheist, I was just defending her right to change her beliefs as a young adult. He's not even religious either. We're not supposed to use blankets in the living room because that's what beds are for. We're not supposed to charge our laptops or leave them in the living room because that's what our rooms are for. Also the step father is my boyfriend's father because my mom married his dad. So we all live together. But my boyfriend and I have been together for over 6 years so it's not a weird sibling situation, it just is what it is. My mom won't help me or defend anyone but my step father. I cry multiple times a week because I feel like I can't say anything to anyone about this. I've talked to my boyfriend but he gets upset because he can't stand up to him, nobody can. I know this isn't abusive but it's not right either.

Question: Dealing with an overly-controlling step-father?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:53 AM PDT

Question: Is anyone else's parents like this?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:52 AM PDT

Firstly, I'm 20, I'm living at home while I'm going to school. My parents, mainly my mom, are VERY old fashioned in their mind-set when it comes to dating. They believe that the only purpose to dating is to find a future mate, and you should only date if you can see yourself marrying someone. Thankfully they respect me as a young adult and let me make my own decisions, but that doesn't mean they won't go without the small lecture every now and then about why I'm with the "wrong guy" or "not in love" because I have a different view of dating than they do. They can't seem to understand my view point, it's like they don't even try. Like they won't accept any new ideas. Is anyone else's parents like this? I can't move out until I'm done with school, which won't be for another 3 years or more. I'm not financially stable enough.

Question: My sister always talks about killing herself.?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:52 AM PDT

Every time I talk to my sister she talks about killing herself. She struggles with life on a daily basis simply because she really doesn't know how to care for herself. She always seems to live in some sort of shack ( this time she says she doesn't have running water and still pays $500 a month in rent, and says she always getting ripped off by some one) Every time she asks me what she should do, because she hates her life so much; I always tell her that she needs to change it. I tell her that she needs to take a leap of faith to make things better for herself. Whenever I say that she comes back with something like, "I'll just go get a gun and shoot myself in the face instead." or "I hate my life I just don't want to be alive anymore. I just want to go jump off of a bridge." She has said things like this for about 10 years or more, so I am to the point where I don't know how truthful she is with me. I get very worried about her, but in the past when I have offered for her to come and stay with me and my husband so that she can get on her feet she always refuses. I don't know what to do anymore. If someone could please offer me some advice that would be greatly appreciated.

Question: How do I get my mother to stop insulting my loved ones to me? She is so mean about them no nice to me?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:48 AM PDT

It is rooted in her jealousy that I am close to people she doesn't get along with.

Question: My brother is home from drug rehab. Am I unforgiving to be anticipating a relapse?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:47 AM PDT

He has done rehab twice before to no avail and many programs as a teen for other behavioral problems. Even if he stops drugs he has other issues worse though not as life threatening. So while I love him and am nice to him when I see him am I unforgiving not to be jumping up and down for joy that he is back and considering him great until he has been doing well for several years? I assume the worst until he really has done well for like 3-4 years. The brother is 23 and will be 24 in October.

Question: My parents wont let me go vegan?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:17 AM PDT

Im 15 and I've been wanting to go vegan for about 2 years now. My parents won't budge. Even mentioning a fact about how meat contributes to global warming makes them go ballistic on me. I think They're in denial, they won't listen to anything I have to say. Should I try to get them to watch Gary Yourofsky videos or earthlings? At this point I'm at a loss. I doubt they'd even sit down and watch the videos with me. I can't keep supporting industries who profit from abuse rape and murder. Help.

Question: Sick to death of living with my parents?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:14 AM PDT

So to begin with I have two jobs when I get home I honestly don't even want to talk with my parents. My two sisters they always talk to me like I'm dumb. I'm 18 a guy. So mostly the reason I'm sick of living at home the most is because of them but they constantly nag at me about my room stinking. Makes me want to pull my hair out. ******* honestly you have no idea. I mean I do masturbate in tissues and flush them. I have some antiques. But no matter what I've done they always nag. I honestly want to start boxing now I have two jobs just no car insurance

Question: Why is my brother so mean?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 08:50 AM PDT

Everyday i come back from school and he slaps me across my face saying its funny but i always end up crying afterwards. He sometimes grabs all of my pants and shits on them all saying he's training his aim. I tell my parents but they tell me to stop being ridiculous. Help me. Am i being ridiculous? I don't know if i should do something or let it go. It makes me really upset. By the way my brother is one years old.

Question: My daughter locks herself in her room all day and doesn t go out as often anymore?

My daughter is 14 and before she would always go out and be social but now she stays in her room all day and stays on her phone and laptop. She will sometimes come into the living room and watch shows with boys playing volleyball which she said is called Hikyou? She also often plays this game on her phone where she s tapping circles with girls on them. should I be worried? Is this just a phase?

Question: Why is my mom making my life difficult??

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 07:56 AM PDT

I believe i'm a good kid. I make great grades, do what I'm supposed to do around the house, help with my baby sisters, as well as take care of myself. My mom always tries to find SOMETHING bad out of everything good I do. She constantly tells me how mean and selfish I am. Yes, I admit I am sarcastic at times...but in a funny way. Not to hurt anybody's feelings. My mom lets things build up and the littlest thing could set her off. The things that get her mad are so simple it's ridiculous. For example, my friend came over to spend the night (WHICH WAS HER IDEA) and I needed an extra pillow so I went to ask my mom if she had an extra one for her. She kindly said no...so I was going to go in the garage to look for one. She told me to give her mine... so I was like okay... I have no problem with that, but what am I going to sleep on? She flipped out on me. Calls me selfish, tells me how i'm basically nothing compared to whoever. EVERYTHING I SAY OR DO MAKES HER MAD. (This is also an everyday thing) She then goes on about every little thing to back her theory up about how "selfish" I am and how she didn't raise me that way blah blah. Then she brings something back up from A LONG TIME AGO making me feel guilty every time about it. I feel like she's abusing me emotionally and right now I'm at the point to where I want to move out no matter my age and I want to live on my own and take care of myself. I hate relying on her because she makes me feel guilty about BEING A MOTHER. Pls help

Question: Is my mother jealous of me, please read and no rude comments?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 07:55 AM PDT

Basically ever since I was younger I had always got attention about my looks about how cute I was and my mum loved hearing those compliments from strangers. But my dad had always told me I was beautiful and kept admiring me about my eyes and my mother always seemed to change thebtopic of conversation. Now that I'm older and if people compliment me on my looks she makes a horrible face. She never tells me I'm pretty but she tells me the exact opposite. I look nothing like my mother or father. My mother has prevented me from wearing makeup, going out with my friends, wearing jewellery and even getting my eyebrows done. I'm 16 years old and I feel like the way she treats me isn't fair, I've been nothing but nice to her. She would usually spend hours gazing into the mirror and she wouldnexpect a compliment soon afterwards. People always tell me I'm beautiful although her comments have really been getting at me and I don't feel that way. I'm nothing like my mother, I'm biracial with green eyes, very curly long hair, tanned etc... Sometimes she would sit and stare at me until I would feel uncomforatable and then mock me on my appearence but everyone else doesn't agrèe. Why is she like this towards me? I sit in my room amd cry a lot just thinking of this my friends get to wear what they want and my mother still chooses my outfits which are horrible they usually consist of long dresses and shoulders all covered up or tomboy style. I'm not even allowed to paunt my nails or date.

Question: My dad gave me a car that doesn't work!! Please answer and read everything?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 07:48 AM PDT

My dad gave me my brother's car and bought him a new one. I didn't mind getting his car, but my dad gave me that car after my brother crashed it. I hadn't been driving it bc I needed my permit, but my dad used it a few times, so he knew the car had problems. Anyways my dad just moved out, and i just got my permit, so I went on my first drive with my mom and after about 20 minutes of driving, the car began to smoke. it Smokes more everyday. It is not safe to use! My brother told him that the oil leaks, but he ignored. My dad knew the oil Leaks but he didn't fix it. My dad always threw it in my face that i didn't appreciate that he gave me a car!!! He threw everything in my face!! That he fed me, that he put a roof over my head and that is true and I recognize that, but he was never a good dad, but I won't go into detail with that. Ever since he moved out I haven't talked to him even if he has tried to talk to me once. I just feel like i hate him bc he wasn't a good father or husband to my mom. We didn't speak to eachother when he lived with us, so now it feels great not to see his face! But now i realized i just got my permit, i payed $333 for driving school out of money i had saved. I have no money left. I'm mad bc i cant learn to drive without a car. Should i call him and ask him to please fix my car bc i have to learn to drive i don't want$300 to go to waste?????????????????????? I feel embarrassed to call him! He might tell i only call him when i need him. I'm 16 btw.

Question: IS IT WRONG THAT I DON'T WANT TO MEET MY "HALF SISTER"?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 07:16 AM PDT

2 months ago i found out my father cheated on my mother when she was pregnant with me 24 years ago and apparently got the girl pregnant. (my parents are still married) . My dad just found out through a DNA test a couple months ago that hes the father to this girl. He's been actively trying to get to know her (spending time with her often) and is now trying to push me to meet her which i have no interest in. Everyone around me is saying i should try to get to know my "sister", yet shes not my sister. Shes my dad random child, i have no connection with her nor do I care to. Nothing personal just is what is. Is that wrong?

Question: My brothers hates his family bc of his gf?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 06:57 AM PDT

Yesterday my younger brother, 21 got into a huge argument my mom. My brother & his gf (26) stay w/my moms brother who lives right next door. The argument started bc my younger siblings (8/10) were at my uncles & my brother wanted them out bc he was mad at my mom. My mom went to talk to him & He called my mom every name in the book & told her that was pathetic. It was bad. Then his gf called my mom a dumb b***h. I wasn't around & im glad I wasn't bc I would have killed his gf. My brother is my moms favorite so I know she's hurt by all of this but she's acting like she doesn't care. Things have been crazy ever since he started dating that girl 4 years ago. She's insecure and puts crazy nonsense in his head & he falls for it. He hadn't spoke to my mom in months before this argument. I'm 3000 miles away but I feel the need to go home bc everything is a mess. I'm the oldest (23) & most sane person in my family. I hate that my youngest sibling had to see that. Should I call my brother/his gf? I just hate being here and useless.

Question: Does my mother have the right to be mad that her cousin is leaving her husband for another man or is it none of my mother's business?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 06:44 AM PDT

The cousin says she is divorcing for other reasons and the other man is just a friend, my mother says it's an affair. I have no opinion and don't really care, not that I would endorse an affair.

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 06:43 AM PDT

Thankyou to everyone reading this. I am a 29 year old mother of two young boys (2 and 4) my husband is starting to become very physical lately as he has lost his job and is starting to drink. When i got home from grocery shopping, he was hitting my youngest over the head with a pillow, repeatedly. Even when i screamed at him to stop it, he just looked at me and continued hitting him. I had to physically get my husband away. Things between me and him are tough. He has been hitting me lately for not wearing a silk nightie to bed and not putting on enough make up. I need to leave ASAP, i plan to live with my parents for a while. What should i say to him???? Should i contact the police???

Question: Why do I have a sleepy head loser liberal for a sister?

She is not fun. All she does is sleep. And the worst part is that she is a liberal. Why do I have this sister. Why couldn't I have a better sibling?

Question: My cousin and my aunt blocked me on Facebook because of my dad?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 03:22 AM PDT

This afternoon I realized that someone deleted me, so I checked and it was my cousin and my aunt. They both deleted & blocked me and my mom for no reason. 6 days ago, my mom and dad got in a fight and he went to Texas alone. He's been there since Tuesday and he has been staying at my aunt house(the aunt that blocked me on Facebook). My cousin, who is my aunts daughter, also blocked me on Instagram. Maybe my dad said something bad about me and my mom because he's still mad at my mom. I believe that my dad suffers from schizophrenia. He doesn't let me make him an appointment with the doctor. I am tired of him and his mental illness because he verbally abuses my mom a lot, and we want to run away. He makes up things that are not true and he sometimes acts like he's crazy to get our attention. I also think my aunt also suffers from schizophrenia. I'm thinking about running away with my mom since he's still in Texas. We're tired. We don't want to be here anymore. What should we do? Should I tell my dad why my cousin and aunt blocked me and my mom on Facebook?

Question: How do I tell My parents i need glasses?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 02:29 AM PDT

Back when i was in Grade 4, my vision started deteriorating and now i am in high school and its still the same & worse. I know this may soon stupid, but i never wanted to tell my parents i needed glasses because when my sibling got his glasses, my family were a bit judgmental and started implying rules on how he cant use the tv or computer,etc. Is there anyway i can tell/convince my parents i need glasses besides stating "I need glasses". Thanks

Question: How do I get over this embarrassment?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 02:15 AM PDT

So I'm an 18 year old girl who still lives with her mom. So I'll be honest and say I was masturbating which I know is totally normal and healthy, but I didn't notice my door was open bc my cat walked in and pushed it open and my moms room is directly across the hall and when I looked she just sat up moved a little and Went back to sleep laying down. Do you think she saw me? It was dark but idk she didn't say anything and I wasn't making any noise. I don't think she'll bring it up but how do I avoid the embarrassment. I'm literally so embarrassed if she saw. Help!!

Question: How to cope with news that your dad cheated on your mom and how to help mom through this hard time?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:59 AM PDT

Im 23, fem, my sister n i both reside with our parents. For months dad has been behaving differently, treating us n mom unusually. My dad has always been my role model as well as the role models of many others. He was the righteous husband and doting father. This comes as a shock. To EVERYONE. For months i watched my poor mother lose weight, get dark circles, swollen eyes, lose interest in living. I suspected something bad happened but cheating was the last thing I expected. My dad with whom ive always had a good relationship has stated quite clearly tht he doesn't care abt us anymore and will do as he wants. My mom is having suicidal thoughts, getting sick n has to be rushed to the hospital alot. She still loves him and wants him to stay. She has depended on my dad for over 25 years. She was with him wen he had nothing. N still wash, cooks n cleans up after him despite him treating her like she doesn't exist anymore. I feel sick. My mom is my priority now. How can i help her thru this heartbreak n suicidal thoughts?

Question: My Dad is cheating on my Mum!?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:48 AM PDT

So basically I've caught my Dad texting someone in the past but when I've confronted him he's completely denied it. But last night he had told me and my Mum that he was going out for 'curry night' with his work friends like he often does. And then later that evening around 9:30 my friend rings me up and she says 'Do you know where your Dad is tonight? I'm really sorry and I didn't want to tell you this over the phone but he's in Leeds (a 30min train ride from where he said he was) and he's sat in a restaurant with a blonde lady and their alone". So how do I confront this? Like what do I say? I haven't told my mum and to be honest I'm ******* fuming but I'm just acting calm around my mum but what do I say to my Dad?

Question: Going on holiday today. Scared. Homesick. Miss my family.?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:46 AM PDT

So I'm 17 and my parents are divorced, so I always go on holiday with just my dad and brother to see our family in another country. I don't know this family well and don't particularly like them, but get on with it. However, whenever I go I always end up dreading it and when I'm there I just cry and count down the days until I get home. Last year wasn't as bad as the other years, but still not great. I'm going again today for 2 weeks and a few days and I just keep crying and panicking, it's just because I'm gonna miss my mum and sister and stepdad so so so much, I honestly just hate it. I live with my mum but stay at my dads a bit too, but it's always been with my mum, and it's so hard to go on holiday without her, Idk what to do, I want to enjoy it but I know I can't and to top it off, I'm 10 days late on my period which is making me extra emotional, and I get them quite bad so that's gonna make everything 100 times worse. However, I'm trying to remind myself that 2 weeks and a bit is not a long time, but at the moment it feels like ages, I'm in such a state, I just really don't want to go. I just keep crying and having panic attacks, I said bye to my sister and mum and stepdad yesterday as I'm gonna be with my dad today cause our flight is later today, but I already miss them and it's been a day, I'm use to my sister waking me up, she's only 4, so she's like my own daughter. It's just so difficult. Please help.

Question: How can I go to parties without my parents finding out?

Posted: 30 Jul 2016 12:25 AM PDT

I don't want any lectures about life choices or anything, just ideas. So I get invited to parties every once in a while, but the problem is my parents won't let me stay out at night, plus if i go to a party I don't want them to pick me up drunk or high. I can easily sneak out, but the problem is getting a ride to the party. Usually my friends are unable to take their cars and my parents would hear me pulling out of the driveway. Uber/Lyft/taxis are not an option because I can pay with a card, but my parents check my card's transactions. Spending the night at a friends is an option, but they won't always be able to drive or be in walking distance of the party. What can I do?

Question: I'm 17 and want to move in with my boyfriend without parent permission?

Posted: 29 Jul 2016 11:36 PM PDT

Me and my mom don't get along that well. I love all my family but I have depression and I feel like always getting into arguments with my mom isn't helping! I'll also be 18 in 5 months so I feel like I should be able to move out without parent permission

Question: I want to kill my sister, and the thoughts are only getting worse. Am i in the right?

Posted: 29 Jul 2016 11:34 PM PDT

Alright i live with her, when i was originally kicked out of my dads i liked her. She was strong and i respected her, after all she was a single mother. Now shes dating an old guy with money, refuses to get a job, wants pity from everyone, gets wasted, buys in game content till we're broke and makes me do most of the chores. Even take care of her son, or help her with him. She doesn't even have a job, she does nothing!!! She doesn't even trust me with anything, thinks im a liar and ignores me in conversations, so i don't even talk to her. I just want to bash her skull in with a rock, because shes pathetic and has no right to treat me like her personal slave. I thought she was strong, in reality she acts like she deserves pity for being a slight alcoholic like the rest of our family. When she accomplishes 3 days of not drinking she acts like i should be proud of her lazy fat *** when i know she'll be drinking again even if i am. The whole families weak and pathetic they should all be wiped off the face of the planet, they're so plagued in selfishness and emotions that they can't see reason.
