My college instructor (he taught me cane mobility) recently died & we were extremely close, so it's been hard on me. Although his sister & I have become very close through grieving the loss of him.. We've never met, but we stay in contact through fb messages. sharing memories, stories, dreams we have of him, we've gotten very close. She basically is watching me grow up and sees all my accomplishments through the posts. Sees me honoring my instructor as he was my hero for helping me over come my big setback. Recently she sent a long message saying how smart, bright & beautiful I am. (She's a BLUNT straight up lady who hardly ever compliments) How I'm wise beyond my years etc. she even said "you are so blessed. I am so very proud of you!!!!" How could she be proud of me if we've never met?

I want to steal my cousins panties and she is really hot but I don't know how to get them and not get caught by her or my family.

Is it weird to tickle my stepmom's feet? I love tickling them. I only do it when her and I are alone. She doesn't let me tickle them but I try. I want to try and overpower her and tickle her feet. Should I?

My mom constantly yells at me for being messy, but I'm not. I'm DISORGANIZED. My room never gets worse than maybe 3 garments in the floor and my desks a mess. My sheets are always clean, I don't leave dirty dishes or garbage around, my carpet is vaccumed regularly. I can confortably bring guests in my room with no complaints. However my brother that's older than me has 7 empty dominoes boxes, 9 old Burger King bags, 5 dishes with old food in them, 16 empty cans of Arizona ice tea and 3 Burger King cups (yes I counted). You can not see his floor because it's that messy, his door can barely even open because of the mess on the floor. Yet my mom constantly yells at ME! Also my brothers room has been in this condition for maybe 3 months. there's moldy food everywhere!

Okay so my mom had been pretty cool about me and my preferences. But now suddenly she s been calling me out more saying I changed but all I do differently is listen to music like twenty one pilots and panic at the disco. I m black so I guess she wants me to be like into hip hop and stuff but it s just not my style. I mean I do listen to it still but I m more of a all around music person then one genre. I recently been through depression and I guess she thinks of me as "emo" which I m not. She buys me girly stuff and even though she said she would stop I feel like she s still forcing being girly and normal on me. She also doesn t like me watching YouTube for some reason. I personally think that watching youtubers has helped me a great deal through my depression. I felt like it made me more confident and happy with myself. But my mom just views it as "stupid video game comentary" I dont know what to do it how to deal with this. Please help

Before you go out saying that I'm a spoiled brat, or undisciplined my parents used to treat me like crap before my brother was born. I remember being chased to my room and having to climb up to my top bunk whenever they got pissed. I hugged the wall as much as I can so they wouldn't be able to reach me, which they weren't. Eventually they would storm off and leave me to be in my room for a few hours. I was 6 when my brother was born, and was told that he was a "unexpected" baby and they thought I would be the only child. Ever since then they laid off on chasing me down or getting pissed like they used to. I'm 14 now and I'm very sure they had my brother to replace me, or at least to get me upset. My brother is a brat too. He fake cries about everything and blames whatever it is on me, or even tries to low-key snitch on me. They believe him too, whenever they are told I "hit" him they don't even question and just chase me away. I try to cut myself away from them by just staying in my room and never talking because I know whenever I come down, I will get yelled at in some way, shape or form. Even that is no use to stay away from them as a couple months ago, they forced me to watch a BS documentary about how kids who stay by themselves become psychopaths and school shooters. I tried to confront them about how they and my brother treats me, only to have them scream me off. I'm tired of this and them

And also to tell her to get married while he has no financial problem?

I've always been closed to my mom. My father has always suffered from bipolar issues. I have no idea how my mom put up with him for 21 years and continues to. One minute he's all attentive to us and another he's rude, grumpy. I have a younger sister who's ten years old and so babyish that she doesn't even know how to use a microwave, make a sandwich, ect. So basic things that every ten year old should know. Anyways when she had her tantrums, he always takes her side automatically and call me horrible things. He'd always ignore me and baby her to the point where she's too spoiled that she gets mad if she doesn't get her way. He's always spoiling her, hugging, calling her baby. And when he tries to rarely hug me I go stiff and uncomfortable. I don't I guess I haven't been used to it ever since she was born because he shifted his full attention to one kid to another. He's okay. But when he gets mad he turns ballistic. I used to tried to impress him when I was younger but it never worked. So now I don't care anymore. My mom questions me why I'm not affectionate to him anymore. I have told her I don't really care for him and she gets mad at me. Is it bad I don't love my father? Now that I'm turning 18 he's trying to make up for it but I don't even care to notice because he goes back to his old ways.

Now I sit there and think, Are they ******* retarded? Month ago Our Pc graphics card died and I got blamed for breaking it for "Installing Viruses on it". 2 Weeks ago Tv Died from nothing, Probably because it was very old one and I got blamed on again cause "Xbox Damaged Tv" What can I do So they stop blaming me?

Anyways this morning I was doing my hair when I heard my sister choking and gagging. I went to see my 16 year old sister down on the floor and she was throwing up in the toilet. She does have a boyfriend. I'm pretty sure they had an affair because her boyfriend kept forcing her to have sex with him or else he would never forgive her. Anyways, right now I'm telling her to go to the doctor but she says no. She's not even taking a pregnancy test with the stick! We even have it here in our cabinet but she's refusing to. She's at her room now with the door locked. Our parents are all at vacation and it's just me and my sister. Pleas help! Idk what to do. I try calling her to come out but she's not saying anything! I told her that I'm calling mom if she doesn't come out and she said she would kill herself if I called anyone. I'm so scared with every move I try to make wondering if my sister will kill or hurt herself, so I just came on here. Please what should I do!

My brother and I got into a fight and my dad got angry because I fought with my brother and called me a ***** and my mom told me to stop arguing with him and I said I hate him so much I wish I didn't get a younger brother and my mom said to me "I don't want you either I wish you were not born it would have been better off without you" and j feel really bad about this she has never said anything to hurt me before I'm just 14 and I haven't stopped crying about this what should I do should I stop talking much To my family? She also said that the whole family hates me and they all are fed up of me. Somebody please tell me what to do I feel really bad about this

My parents are born and raised in Bangladesh, a third world South Asian Country. My dad is 5'5.5 and my mom is 5'0. Me and my sister are born and raised in Canada. My sister is 5'4 (average) and I'm 5'10 at 15. How is this possible when genetically my parents are short. The only tall one in my family is my dad's dad (my grandpa). He's 5'10. WTF? LMAO, I'm not adopted. I have DNA xD

My dad is dead and my sister is off to college so she's not in the house anymore. She was the one who kept us close together but now that two of our family is gone i feel we're tearing apart. We've been fighting so much ever since our dad died. I'm in highschool and my brother is in 8th grade. My other sister is a senior. So i guess it's all the hormones and stuff that makes us all fight so much. My mom is 50 years old and constantly stressed. I can't imagine what it feels like to have to take care of 4 kids while still being depressed over a serious loss. I'm so lost. I want to keep our family close again. We're all very introverted and dont talk much. Especially not about our feelings. We're asians, so we're kinda expected to deal with problems on our own or we'll look whiny and weak. And whenever we do talk there's always bickering. My senior sister is very stubborn and hates change and fights a lot with my mom. My mom is constantly going off and working on things, and she doesn't really inform us. So they clash a lot. She also calls us disappointments. I try to defend myself but she cuts me off and tells me I have a rebellious attitude. Then guilt trips me about how hard she works everyday for our family. My brother seems alright, but I think our fighting will soon spread to him and i don't want that. I'm literally so stressed about how im going to balance out my relationships and highschool in general. Please help me, how can i resolve our fights?

My parents have been together for a while but since a couple years ago they've been fighting not only that but always yell at me and make me cry I hate coming home so I join as many sports and I can to stay out of the house and right now I'm only in the house on the weekends but the weekends are the worst two days of non stoping wishing I was dead because of them

I'm the youngest of 2. My sister is 20 and I'm 18. I feel like mY parents don't care about what she does, but I can't do it. Why? Why can't I be treated equal?

I m 6 years older than him but I ve always been close with him and he s pretty attached to me. But today he like jumped in my bed and started cuddling with me and climbing on top of me and grabbing my boobs and trying to kiss my lips and he kept saying "Catie s so pretty I wanna marry her so badly I love her so much!" I know it sounds cute but it was kinda uncomfortable. Should we talk to him about this or am I making a big deal out of nothing?

I've been waiting for forever for my aunt to have her baby girl. I only have boy cousins and I've been super excited about her having a girl. She is even naming it Piper, her maden name and my last name, wich makes it even better. Back to the point, my dad won't let me go because you have to be 12 or older wich I understand but I just want to sit in the waiting room and when they come out look at the pictures when they are done. I've even told my dad I would clean the whole house, and I ment it, if he would let me go but he wouldn't budge. I've already cleaned the bathroom and my bedroom but still nothing. I don't know what to do and I've never wanted to do something so much because I'm so excited. Please give me some tips and tell me what to say. Thanks❤️

My mom gets mad at me for researching things, and if i ever correct her with facts she gets really mad. I would say I have an ok knowledge about whats happening now in the world, and if she says something that is obviously wrong, and I correct her she gets all upset and says "thats my opinion", but theres a difference between an opinion and completely stating something wrong. And I tell her it's good to be knowledgeable about things before you buy them, current events etc. but she just says "I don't care." So should I stop researching or just listen to mom? idk I need help

I'm at the point that I want to smack them in the face...But no I have to be "respectful." What's the point of being respectful if they aren't to you? I always get picked on and when I stand up for myself, they don't like it?? P.S - If you got nothing nice to say, then don't bother, thanks.

They hate me for no reason but despite that I still respect them. They also hate me because I was a nobody. Now I just graduated masters in education and has a good paying job, even higher that my boyfriends mom and dad combined (kidding aside :p) They have not talked to their son in 3 years because my boyf chooses me over them (he isn't really close with his parents even before I exist).

My whole life I've been stuck inside the house, never really having a child hood, no birthday parties with friends, no Halloween or trick-or-treating, never experienced a childhood. I'm sick of being in my house, I just hate being in it, and the only option I have to leave the house is for only school. I'm basically trapped in my house and have been trapped for 14 ******* years. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents for protecting me but every time I ask to go to the movies with friends its no, or go to the new library its a no, its my dad who wants to go with me but I'm tired of him and so I lose all motivation. This year I was planning on doing extracurricular activities but my dad said no over and over again, saying I can't handle the work-study, meaning working one day a week because my school allows it, then go play a sport, then finish homework, even though my grade is a 3.5 GPA or above. I feel if I don't do this extracurricular junk I'm not going to get into a good college, like Georgetown or John Hopkins to be a Surgeon, but now all that happening is I'm losing motivation from my dad because he keeps saying no to things I want to do. I try to persuade him but he pushes me down and he always wins. Even one of my best friends liked me a girl, and I really wanted to date her but my dad won't allow it even though he had a girlfriend when he was 12 or 13, younger than me. I'm only a Sophomore but I feel so depressed lonely, I just stopped caring, even for school as well.

It's not that I hate him nor have anything against him. But it's like that every time he comes to my parent's and we're having lunch together, I must behave as I'm pleased with the situation -when I'm not- and I can't complain about anything nor say any rude words, while he can do as if he were at home. It's not the same when I go to visit him, in fact I have to obey very strict rules. I'm tired of this situation, it's like my parents respect him more because he's a married man and I'm a woman still single, but I must be content with it. Whenever he comes I just want to leave and spend the least amount of time with them. In fact I'll be moving to a shared flat in a few weeks. Please could you give me any tips to handle this? I get really stressed every Sunday. Thanks! ;)

So my fiancé just informed me about an hour ago that he was suppose to go to lunch with his daughter. He cancelled his lunch date with his daughter because an emergency pop up at is job and he has to go to work. His daughter is grown. I don't have an issue with him spending time with his daughter. That's his offspring. What I have a problem with is her mother was suppose to attend. I don't like the mother because she's disrespectful. She be saying sexual stuff to him. He always checked her and told her he don't like talking to her. We had a conversation about her like two days ago because she text some disrespectful stuff to him. This bird b**ch don't understand she will never ever get to be with him again. It's been over way before I even entered the picture. I guess what I'm trying to say is it wrong for me to tell my fiancé I don't want him around his daughter mother unless I'm around? My fiancé has two other children boys and I'm cool with their mothers. I've had conversations with their mothers. I trust them because I know they won't try him like that disrespect our relationship. I don't have a problem with them, just his daughters mother. Plus I feel their daughter is grown and there's no need for them to act like a family. I mean the lunch date was for him and his daughter for them to bond and not for him to bond with her mother. She took his daughter away from him and denied him his daughter when his daughter was a baby just to be with another man.

Okay so I have two cousins, one is a couple months older than me and the other one is a couple years older than me. The last time we had a family gathering was in March for a birthday party for one of my relatives. They came, but didn't talk to me at all. Which I really don't understand because we used to be great friends when we were little kids. The oldest one us a 15 year old boy and the other is a 10-12 year old girl

I have a low-grade fever, a horrible cough, and about eight blankets piled on top of me, yet I'm still shivering. I know my mom won't let me stay home from school. How do I convince her? Yes it's Saturday, but my illnesses usually get worse and continue for a while.

Ok so, whenever my mom is really mad at me, she always gives my sister and I the silent treatment. It doesn't matter if it's my fault or if it's my sister's fault, my mother gives us both the silent treatment. On top of that, she uses my little brother as a means of communication. So yesterday my sister, my cousin and myself went to go get our second ear piercing together. Although I did not directly ask her if I could get my second ear piercing, I thought it was implied especially since my sister asked me if I wanted to get mine done right in front of her. After rejecting the offer many times, I finally gave in and left. My mother admitted that the only reason that she didn't want us getting our piercing was because she didn't like them. I feel so restricted when I go out or if I do something because then my mom would be like "Well, did you ever take my feelings into consideration? You never do" etc., etc. But anyways I just feel like she doesn't really love me (I'm the middle child) and she's like always putting my sister and I down. Like she'll say stuff like "Oh wow, you're gaining a lot of weight" even though she's still like super skinny, and then she'll be like "Oh my God, look t your face, look at your acne" and then she gets mad when I cover it up? Like ???? But anyways she's mad at me and she's giving my sister and I the silent treatment. What should I do

I know she does because one day she said she is tired of hearing me complaining. When I am not complaining I am venting. But when she talks to me about her problems which is like every day it's ok, yet she tells people that I never complain she even tells me that. I sometimes want to shut down and just not talk to her about anything but I can't because I live with her and have no friends.

My dad is taking my sisters and her friends to see finding dory. I saw Finding Nemo in the theaters as a kid and loved it. I've been expressing interest in seeing it all summer but I've been doing a lot of baby sitting to earn money for a car. I made it clear multiple times that I wanted to see the second one and he just invites my sisters and all of their friends and none of them even made a peep. They've had all summer to see it because they've been home doing nothing. I saw the first movie with my dad just him and I but I thought even if my little sisters go this time it would be a really special thing. He didn't even ask me or include me in any of it. I feel hurt because this was something we could have done just as a family. I know it's stupid to be hurt over a movie but it was how he ignored my feelings knowing Ive been wanting to see this. Am I wrong for feeling hurt? I even offered to pay for my ticket and any other expenses and he still said no

She steals my money, calls me a *****, is a methadone addict, lies to me constantly. Always "needs" money, tells me to be quiet when I get mad about it, and acts like she did nothing wrong.

So last night my mom started yelling at me And after she did i heard her whisper "I hope she dies" Either i was hearing her wrong or she really said it. Please help! What if she does wish me death!

I'm 22 and I don't want her doing that. It is rude and embarrassing.

My great aunts and uncles are always complimenting me, saying that I'm smart and all that. I should be proud that they keep on saying these good things about me, but no, Every time they talk about it, they bring my grandparents up and how I got my intelligence and good memory from them. I don't like it because I'm not really proud of my grandparents. I've met my grandma before (she's my great aunts and uncles' eldest sister), and she's... weird. A lot of people in my family, including my dad, are always talking how she's selfish and lies about other family members. As for my grandpa, whom I've never met before because he's divorced, he's a heavy alcoholic. My great uncle is always bringing up how he always seem to remember stuff from decades ago, and always find a way to bring them up. He said that my grandpa's a very intelligent man, but that he thinks about things way too much and that he has a very short temper. One time, my grandpa was so mad that he literally tried to smash a glass cabinet with his hands. Then, he had to go to the hospital for it since he cut his hand and now it's paralyzed or something. My uncle said that it's good that I'm smart, but that I should try to control my temper. Also, my aunt, who is dad's younger sister, has autism. She's a thirty four year old woman who can't drive, can't cook, can't hold a job for more than seven months, doesn't have a house, and doesn't have a husband. Basically, my relatives take care of her like a six yr old child.

I loved being an only child, but then I got a stepbrother and he ruined everything. Abusive, narcissistic, manipulative. He's out of the picture, and I'm so glad. One of my friends is a girl, and she has a sister, also in my circle of friends. I used to miss being an only child, but when I see them interact, and the bond they share, I feel lonely. I feel so lonely, and I feel like something is missing. Being a woman is so hard and I have no one to share the burden with or understand woman things. My parents neglected me and the only reason I don't kill myself is that I love my cat. I want a sister so badly, and I can't cope with the loneliness. What can I do?

My mum has been abusive to me in the past. She erupts over minor problems and has before punched me, waved keys in my face a threatened to kill me. Her behaviour is incredibly unpredictable, and when she goes into a rage, she transforms and becomes incredibly scary. Today, she wanted me to go out with her to a friends birthday party. I told her I could be ready to leave at 6pm because I had to finish some written work. She was not happy about this, and immediately began to shout at me for having "premeditated the idea that I was never going to go out with her in the first place", when I sincerely was. She then went from shouting at me to completely blanking me out when I was speaking to her trying to come up with a solution. We only have one car at the moment. Mine. And she wanted to take the car and leave me in the house to take a cab to her friends birthday party. I then told her I would be ready in five minutes and there would be no need to take a cab as I would drive. But she was not having any of this and proceeded to go through my bag looking for the car keys and emptying everything on the floor. As the keys were not in my bag, and she could not find them, she then took my purse and began going through it taking my cards out one by one threatening to take money out of them to spend on a cab for herself. I then asked her not to go into my bag. And she said "If I do not have those keys in 5 minutes, wait and see what I will do to you in here today". She came really close to my face, and continued shouting. So i grabbed the phone and dialled 999. I did not speak to the police officer, as everything started to become a blur. But from what he heard on the line, he determined himself it would be necessary to send the police. When the police arrived, I begged them not to speak to my mum for fear it would make things worse. I have an older brother who has been abusive to me in the past, along with his fiancé who physically assaulted me. I do not live with my father. It's only me and my mum in a one bedroom flat/apartment.

Ok, so my dad is constantly horrible to me and I mean horrible, he's constantly out having dinner whilst the rest of my family are at home together having dinner. At the moment we're broke, but he's not but he won't give my mom any money at all, he constantly makes fun of me and upsets my mum. I really do hate him and desperately want him to move out.

So I have given up most of my youth taking care of my mother who has advanced ovarian cancer. Im 39 and have spent last few years managing her chemo, medical treatment, taking her out almost every weekend. I used to date and came close to getting married about 3 yrs ago but likewise clockwork, her cancer came back. So I chose her over my fiance. It hasn't been easy. Quite honestly my mother in her youth was a very unpleasant person who put money before family. She saw me as the son who fixed her problems whether they were her deranged relationships or her finance. She was almost certainly bipolar. Mean one day, abusive another, happy another. Now she is a broken woman with some dementia and cancer. She still fighta needlessly as she knows she has little or no control. But I am stuck. I've forgotten how to live. I haven't dated, no movie in a theater in 2 years easy, no vacation since 2012. If I step away, she'll be stuck in her bedroom. I have two **** sisters who are living their own lives. Douchebag father is out of the picture. Lotta trash in my life but I've always stayed centered. I've fooled myself into believing that doing the right thing is key. And it is. I have regrets in helping her mainly because of my lost time. No girlfriend, few friends in general, alone most nights. What would u do?

My dad smoked since before I was born, I'm 21 now. He was able to quit 3 years ago with the help of the vape stuff. I was so proud of him because it took him 3 years to quit a 20+ year addiction which is amazing. Well I still live with him but I rarely see him, so we wanted to hang out for a little bit and we went to dinner. He had a couple of beers so I offered to drive us home. When I got in the car I saw a box of cigarettes in his door. I didn't say anything because we had a really good time and I didn't want to stress him out. Well I found the box today in my dogs tub of toys and treats. I do want to confront him because he's hiding it which means he doesn't want me to know. It's just me and him in the house since my parents are getting a divorce. I know he's having a stressful time but I don't want him to get back on this bad habit. How can I bring the conversation up without it seeming like I'm attacking him? I will support him no matter what but I want him to be healthy.

Hi im a 14 yr. old boy my uncle said I was making a smart comment and I was being calm and said no I didn't and then all of s sudden he started choking me in front of my mother and she was saying "that's what u get for being smart" and she didn't care at all he grabbed me by my neck and threw me on the floor and calling me a "dumbass"and I think he hurt my back or broke it because it won't stop hurting and then be was saying it was my fault and I should of shut up and he wouldn't of hurt me and my friends are saying it's abuse do u agree with that?

I am seven-teen years old. My sister is thirty years old. It just seems like she's always trying to bring me down. We come from a poor background. We are still poor, actually. My sister is a hairstylist, but she doesn't make a lot of money, dropped out of the 8th grade, lives with an eighty year old man, she has never had her own place nor car. Anyways, she tends to always ask me "What do you want to be when you get out of school?" I used to always say that "I wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor," just to please my sister. However, looking at the cost of those professions and the time it takes to become one, I changed my mind. I realized that I didn't have the luxury to wait that long and accumulate all of the student loan debt. That being said, my sister asked me the question she always ask again, and I told her that "I wanted to be a dental hygienist." I explained to her why, but she still started to like tear me down. She said things like "Why would you do that? They make no money. Are you even really smart? It's dumb to become that. I feel like you are all talk and are going to be a bum." It's almost like she wants me to be something that will provide for both me and her. Am I wrong? Her statements were based off of zero research and evidence.

My college instructor recently died & we were extremely close, so it's been hard on me. Although his sister & I have become very close through grieving the loss of him.. We've never met, but we stay in contact through fb messages. sharing memories, stories, dreams we have of him, we've gotten very close. She basically is watching me grow up and sees all my accomplishments through the posts. Sees me honoring my instructor as he was my hero for helping me over come my big setback. Recently she sent a long message saying how smart, bright & beautiful I am. (She's a BLUNT straight up lady who hardly ever compliments) How I'm wise beyond my years etc. she even said "you are so blessed. I am so very proud of you!!!!" How could she be proud of me if we've never met?

My little sister who is 7 was watching me play grand theft auto V today and she saw in the subtitles the word sex. And next thing I knew she said," sex is a bad word, I'm glad mommy and Mike don't have that" (Mike is our stepdad) and I was shocked but I just pretended not to hear it so that she didn't go further into the subject. I don't know what to do should I tell my mom, should I just leave it be, someone help me.

My friend moved back to our hometown. Yesterday, she wanted me to come up and see her. She was upset, suffering from her parents' divorce and her mother's new 'husband'. She told me she hates him and her little sister, 9 begged her mother to not leave their father and not to marry that person. But, she did not listen to anyone. I saw her mother's new husband, he was an ugly, stinky..(you know what I mean). We talked about that, but her mother was listening to us, suddenly came in and yelled her: "this is my choice,respect him or leave my house." I almost go up and beat that ***** up, but didn't want to get in trouble. Then, I left and told her we can meet again, but I will never come her house again. She can move out or live with her father, but her sister wants her to stay. I know it their family problem and I don't want to remember about that, but I feel for her and her sister. Why she doesn't care about her daughters? Why is she so selfish?

But she won't play with it she screams and crys and says she hates ugly blacks and I tried whooping here and I hide her white dolls and she still hates it she even put a rope around the neck of it what can I do

My almost 20yr old little sister just confessed to me that she was sexually abused as a child by our mom s step dad. She had never told anyone but is recently getting help from a church leader. She doesn t want to tell my mom even though my mom already hates him so it s not like she will ruin any relationship there. I need her to tell though because him and my grandma live close and stop by randomly to visit with my 2 yr old and 8 month old girls. They are also caregivers for my 8 yr old niece while her mom works. I have already never let him hold my girls since their birth or be alone with them because he always freaked me out but now that I know for sure he has done this, I will not be allowing him near my family again. I will need a reason as to why so I don t hurt my grandmas feelings and for my mom not to make me feel bad about shutting my grandma out. They both need to know that this man did this so that we can cut him out of our lives already. I just don t want to push my sister or betray her trust by telling for her. But other girl s safety are at stake. What do I do?

So I don't have any friends so I can't have a party, I have cousins but they're all horrible (literally don't even ask how they're just so rude and Bad behaved I don't see them). I don't like bowling, or going to the cinemas and I'm vegeterian so it's hard for me to go out for a meal in many places. I live in a very small city but I can travel. Going to the park, and having a picnic or going to the beach is literally like tourture for me so please don't suggest that please. I don't want to stay in but I can't think of anything good, and my parents say I have to decide quick or they can't make it happen.

I'm 15 years old and will be 16 in April next year. Me and my mum lived together just us due to not ever knowing my dad. She has dated people on and off,the longest one lasting 4 years. We are now living with her boyfriend(they bought a house togeteher) and they have been together for about a year. Me and my mum have been through a lot and we both have reason not to trust eachother but we have passed them and no longer let them affect us. However, my mum still treats me like I'm a child and will pick out the tiniest things to have ago at me eg. Will have ago if I use the wrong punctuation in a text. She hardly ever let's me go out and when I do she will make me text her every 10 minutes to tell her what I'm doing. I try to talk to her about it all the time but won't listen to me. She doesn't give me any freedom and it makes me feel so bad about myself the way she sometimes treats me. What can I do? I'm also an only child and she had me at a very young age.

I know this is really strange, I just don't know what to do. I was watching them last night while my parents were out, I'm 16. I wasn't sure where they were and I went upstairs to get a sweatshirt in my room and I guess the didn't hear me because i walked passed my brothers room and they were all over each other making out, and one of them was not fully dressed. I really cannot un-see this and I really do not know if I should tell anyone, they saw me and one of them hid while the other stayed on the bed, i didn't say anything and they haven't talked to me or each other all night. I've had my suspicions as when we were on vacation, I thought i saw them kissing in the shower. They are 12 and 10, the 12 year old just left to go to camp all week and I really don't know what to do.

I'm 13 and I have a cleaning job (only in the summer) that pays a handy $12/hr and clean 8 hours a day. I pay for most of my things. I'm afraid if I buy an Xbox One she's going to take it away from me when I take a 2 hour nap after school. (I get really REALLY exhausted after school and in my mom's boyfriends house I have to do my homework RIGHT away after school). I always get my homework done for school and rarely have any late assignments during the whole year and I think it's really unfair that my parents are pushing me this far and not giving me any damn breaks. MY MOM EVEN USES MY MONEY TO PAY HER BILLS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A JOB! I don't think she has a right to take away what I have earned from all the hard work I've put in. Do you guys?

During dinner, my parents decided to tell me I was adopted. However there s more to the story. My "dad" turns out to be my grandfather, the sister that I have never met is actually my mom. My "mom" that took care of me my whole life, we are not related by blood. And turns out that I actually have a biological sister. However, when they were telling this, they had said well I hope this doesn t change out relationship, and now I don t really see them as my parents anymore, I see them as my grandparents. What s worse is that I only knew my "mom s" side of the family, but I m not related to them at all, and they all knew. How do I change the way I see the people that raised me my whole life as parents again.

I am 49. What is wrong with me? Once my son and daughter, they are both the same age. Turned 8 years old, something out of the blue clicked. I grew annoyed at every little thing they did. Whenever I would get stressed out, I would get my belt and belt them on their backs. This would at times cause my son and daughter to cry which would make me feel like I needed to do it for a longer time. No one saw their bruises from punishment. I had them in online schooling. I haven't felt like their father for 10 years. I hated it whenever my son or daughter spoke, I would then have to belt them in order for them to shut up. I am embarrassed of my son and daughter. I am embarrassed they don't look like me, I have a hard time accepting them for their political beliefs and for their sexual orientations. My wife was always on my side and believed I was punishing them. I would belt them until age 17, I kicked them out when they were 17. What is wrong with me?

I'm 34 and going nowhere in life. I felt as a child/teen that my mother was negligent, and she was always dismissive towards my problems. My parents have made it clear that they wanted a boy and not a girl, and they were cold and numb to my feelings and my sadness. I was bullied at school and nothing was done about it. I don't have a future or any direction, and even though I have fought and fought to change things nothing I do makes a difference and I feel like I have no control over what happens to me and that it's all fated out. My mother never wanted me and I wonder why she bothered to bring me into the world. I wish she had aborted me. Is it normal to feel this way?

I'm really sad because I realized that my dad doesn't love my mom anymore. My mom is freaking awesome. My parents are strict and don't let me do a lot, but I've learned to deal with that and love other things about them. We don't argue anymore because I'm not an annoying teenager anymore, but now my mom is confiding in me a little more and I've realized that she and my dad don't love each other which sucks. Ever since my dad had a stroke about 7 years ago, he's changed. Everything about him except his intelligence and the professional aspect of his life has declined. He is no longer social and refuses to go to events with my mom. When I was younger, my parents not going out seemed normal because they had to take me to soccer games and my sister to whatever she needed. But now, there really is no excuse. I don't need them to drive me anywhere anymore. I don't need them to watch me because I'm old enough to stay home alone without a problem. My mom always gets invited to birthday parties, dinners, or fun double dates, but my dad literally refuses to go. He says "that's not his thing" but it really bothers her. She hasn't said anything up to this point but last night she vented and told me how sad she is that they never go out anymore. The only family he wants to go to dinner with is my old neighbors. Everyone else- whether it's his colleagues or her work colleagues- he refuses. Whenever she asks him (like practically begging), he gets mad and walks away. He's the type of person who will get mad for a week and be really rude if you tell him something true about himself, so we can't tell him he's being selfish and unfair. Recently, he refused to go to a dinner and a birthday party. Today is my mom's birthday, and since he has 0 romantic skills, he asked her what she wants for her birthday and where she wants to go eat instead of planning something. My sister and I had anticipated this and planned a nice outing for today. We also pooled some money and got her something, but my dad made absolutely no effort. He got her nothing! And we have money. It's not like we can't afford to buy her a present- he literally just gave no effort. I talked to him this morning and told him it would be a good idea to surprise her with some concert tickets because she is so great and really deserves it. He got pretty mad for no reason and told me to ask her if she wants the tickets first, or else he wouldn't buy them. WHY WOULD I ASK HER AND RUIN THE SURPRISE. I know she loves the artist! I know she would have a wonderful time. Anyway, I agreed to his ridiculous request without making any problems to keep him in a good mood and told him that he should go with her. It would be like a fun date and a break from work. He got mad again saying he doesn't like that kind of music. I told him it would be a small sacrifice for her happiness because she's having a really tough time at work, and he got mad, telling me that he makes sacrifices all the time for us. I am so grateful for everything my parents sacrifice for me, but that's still not him making a sacrifice for my mom! I'm so frustrated, why doesn't he love her anymore? And this is just the social aspect I'm telling you about. At home, he doesn't go the extra mile to make her happy with simple things- whether it's asking about the in-laws or telling her her outfit looks nice when she asks instead of "I don't know about those things." He couldn't even buy her a damn card because he "doesn't know about those things." I can deal with him being a jerk to my sister and I, our friends, and our boyfriends. I can deal with him being moody and not letting me do anything because he's mad and wants to take his anger out on someone. But I will NOT deal with him treating my mom like this. She deserves better. He's a good husband, but not a good friend. I will do anything to get him to treat her like he loves her again. Advice? Help? Please

He just started teenages. Now misbehaves,says stuffs like"i wont do,what will you do". Doesnt listen to anyone and sometimes destroys peace in the family by shouting/fighting.

Sorry if this is a little bit long but i want to cover my mom's side as well. So for the past 2-2 and a half years i've developed a really bad relationship with my mom but this week it has really gotten much worse. Me and my mom are always fighting,alot more than usual.and almost in every fight she swears at me and she says things like "Now i know why your ex dumped you,you're a horrible person" and also things like "You're a criminal,i will call the police on you,etc" (take note that i have never used any kind of force against my mom) and today we had another argument and my sister who came to visit decided to get involved. And as i expected,she began by defending my mom and saying things like "She buys you everything and she cares for you and she does things for you,you don't even respect that" (and of course i do respect that but besides that it's my mom..pretty obvious she will take care of me) so i decided to talk my sister about some of the things. My sister didn't have alot to say,and i noticed she just kept repeating herself over and over again and saying that i treat my mom like **** (only in the past few days after two years i told my mom several times that i hate her) and at some point,after a lot of discussions,i agreed to try and change my behavior.at the end of thing i ended the conversation simply by walking away because it wasn't going anywhere and i apologized for such a disrespectful act. It doesn't feel right.i'm on the edge.what should i do?

I am currently 13 and going to be 14 in September. The beginning of 6th grade, there was a game called Pixel Gun. It's like Minecraft but free. You can chat. So one day I befriended a boy and got his phone number. I decided to call him. When I did a lady picked up and asked if I was from Pixel Gun and I said yes. I immediately ended the call. She tried calling me 2 times but I didn't answer. Then she left a voicemail. I didn't know the password to listening to people's voicemaills so I was doomed. When my parents got home they listened to the voicemail. They immediately called me downstairs and asked what this was. I lied to them saying the phone was under the sofa and I accidentally sat on it. They didn't believe me. In India they hit kids for punishment so my dad hit me. He told me I couldn't go to school. But the next day I did since my mom said I could. I could tell my parents were devastated..

I recently got accepted into a great school and since I have she's been mean to me. She's unhappily married with one child and works full time. Before I started school there were no problems with our relationship. But now she always tried to belittle what I say, tried to sabotage important papers for school and even tried to convince my mother to kick me out of the house when I was on Summer break. Why is she acting this way?

I just caught my mom sexting with another guy , without her noticing i was looking at her phone while pretending to be on mine when we were sitting next to each other. They were talking about what they would do to each other when they meet 'again'. i don't know what to do now. My dad is a really good person and i'm pretty sure he has no idea. I love my mom and i do not know why she is doing this as my parents never had any big problems we would always sit together from time to time with my bro and sis and watch movies , we were like a perfect family. I still love my mom but i feel my dad deserves to know. But i'm almost certain it will lead to a divorce. I am going to uni now and will live alone and can handle the divorce, but i do not know about my sister and brother, i don't want them to go through something like that. I have 3 options i thought of. 1. Confront my mother about it 2. Tell my dad 3. Just stay quiet and let everything go on like i have no idea I am certain my dad wont find out if i don't tell him , and i am sure that their relationship will keep going on normally if i don't interfere now. But knowing that my mom is cheating on my dad now makes me think she is only with him for the money :(. Its either that or she really cares about my dad but is just having sex with other men.... i don't know why and now i'm certain shes don't it quite a number of times as I've had my suspicious in the past. So what do u guys advise me to do?
