Question: Showing off my body while living with family?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 02:12 PM PDT

I am 42 divorced single bbw and I live with my older sister at her house with her and her son who is 20. I have lost 80lbs and a few months ago I got my boobs redone, and I have started to wear more revealing clothes more when going out. My sister is a big women as well and she likes to be naked, she is a nudist, I have been naked at the house a few times but then thinking of doing a lot more, but with my nephew here and being 20 and he likes to be naked as well, there maybe some sexual tention, maybe between him and I or towards me for him, and it some what turns me on to get that kind of attention. What should I do ?

Question: Relative visits your old college campus on a weekend trip and doesn't invite you: odd?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 02:11 PM PDT

Would you be offended here? I see my brother and his wife and their children once or twice a year. We're not close. We live 1,500 miles apart. Recently, they took a weekend trip to a sports event in a large Northeastern city, a 3-hour train trip from where I live. They asked for directions around town, and I told them. They didn't invite me. They spent the day in the neighborhood where I went to college, and even toured the campus, taking pictures of themselves all around campus. (It's a school you're heard of.) They sent the pictures to my mother, but not me. They didn't invite me at all. I find it a little unusual that they didn't say, "if you're interested in coming up, let us know" or something. Right? Thanks.

Question: My dad put security cameras everywhere, what should I do?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 02:08 PM PDT

A few months ago, I was being an idiot with my best friend on Skype. My dad wasn't home and while I was looking for tweezers in his bathroom, I found a condom. I opened it up and blew it up as a joke, and I accidentally left the wrapper on his bathroom counter. The next morning he thought I slept with someone. I got my phone and computer taken away and I was being a bit of a crybaby because I'm always good and I'm never used to being in trouble. After getting over the anxiety of telling him what really happened, I admitted that it was a joke and that I wouldn't let him see my phone because It had a picture of the condom on it. He proceeded to put security cameras all outside the house, which I was okay with, because it was outside of the house. Fast forward to yesterday. He got a new Amazon Echo and set it up outside of our kitchen. Keep in mind, my bedroom is right outside of the kitchen. I went to the kitchen to get a snack. When I was walking back, I was looking at the Echo and noticed something glowing next to it. I went up to it and I saw a security camera, the same kind that we had outside. It's facing my room, like he's expecting me to do something bad. I'm terrified that there is one in my room. I can't move out for another 5 years or so. I feel like he's invading my privacy, and I don't know what I did wrong this time. I'm so upset. Advice please?

Question: Is it wrong to stop talking to your dad?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 01:17 PM PDT

I feel like his family always pressured me to go into a field that I didn't like such as being a doctor. I just feel that my dad and my grandparents are pushing me to be someone i'm not

Question: I think my neighbors abuse their son?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 01:15 PM PDT

I live in the apartment complex next to theirs and I can hear the child obviously screaming in pain with them yelling at him. I see bruises on him as well. When I asked him about them he didn't respond. He's five years old. I want to tell the cops or DHS but I'm afraid they they won't have any proof and then give them a slap on the wrist, then they will retaliate on me. What should I do?

Question: Ok so my brother is black but his girlfriend is asian and our parents don't like her?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 01:01 PM PDT

her parents are really nice and everything but my parents hate her parents and her and she's nice and respectful how do I get them to stop being so hateful

Question: How to stop hating my sister?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:47 PM PDT

My sister has been as total jerk. She has given me zero support and has been highly critical of me. The last 10 years of my life I have dealt with a highly abusive ex husband (he has alienated me from my only daughter legally because he has money and he is very abusive and controlling). All this time has been terribley traumatic to me, I have PTSD from all this. I have cried and acted very emtoinal due to the horror of this situation. My sister has never been there to support me at all, to the contrary, she has been DEEPLY critical of me. Now she completltly cut me out. She acts as if I am some type of embarrassement. I feel so broken hearted because my entire famliy treats me like a black sheep. I feel so alone in the world. I have grown to resent and hate her over the years. I do not like having this feelings but I feel so angered.

Question: My mother likes to cut me off from family, I am an adult now and no longer play that game. However, how do I get over the residual effects?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:41 PM PDT

For example my cousins are not as close to me as they would have been had they known me as a kid (I am 29 now). Another example is I am 2nd tier which means I am thought of less often so like at holidays people assume I am with my mother or my Dad's family (My mother cut me off from her side of the family) so we are the only ones to miss out. Lastly, I am left with the empty feeling that while I am closer now, I was not as a kid because my mother cut me off because she was angry. So how do I get over these residual effects? The worst part is when memories from childhood are shared and I realize how much I missed out.

Question: My brother is in jail, do I have the right to tell people he got what he deserved or do I need to cover up for him like some want me to do?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:41 PM PDT

By cover up I mean tell people he is travelling instead of saying the truth that he is in jail.

Question: How do I get people to stop judging me for my mother's tacky behavior and my Dad's drinking?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:41 PM PDT

People think less of me because of my parents bad behavior.

Question: Como dejar de sentir resentimiento hacia mi familia?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:29 PM PDT

Mi madre y famila han estado COMPLETAMENTE ausentes durante una situacion horrorosa! Esta situacion ha durado 10 anos... Mi ex marido me quito la abilidad legal de ver a mi unica hija (porque es un hombre con dinero y extremadamente abusivo y controlador). Esto es una situacion extremadamente terrible. Y cada dia me ha resultado igual o mas traumatico no recibir un gramo de afecto y apoyo de mi familia tampoco. Sinceramente si hubiera recibido aunque sea una llamada cada mes de mi familia dandome simaptia y amor, mi corazon y emociones no estarian tan danadas. He vivido en un estado de dolor a piel sin salida :( El abandono de mi familia me ha obligado a buscar apoyo en otros lados, lo cual ha sido super horrible, porque he sufrido abusos. Me siento tan mal que cuestiono mis abilidad de vivir y hasta he considerado la muerte :( como sanar de todo esto? Una de mis peores emociones ha sido el resentimiento... no se que hacer con tanto dolor!

Question: My child molester just showed up at my house uninvited but I can't kick him out bc I'm 16 and live with my parents pls help?

I started crying when his car pulled up help what do I do i locked myself in the bathroom and I'm trying to wait it out but he's been here for like 20 minutes and doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon

Question: Is it okay to keep it a secret from my parents when I see my brother (actually my half-brother)?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:11 PM PDT

My mother hates her step-son because he has made mistakes (he is a drug addicted and not remorseful) and so my parents don't talk to him and have hopes I wont. My mother speaks ill of him on a regularly basis (feels like daily but probably like 3 times a week). It is her step-son so I guess she feels no maternal love. He has manipulated them for money. My sisters have nothing to do with him and he lives near his mother (my Dad's ex-wife). I feel he is my brother and so I have to have compassion on him. Plus I feel addiction is a disease and does not make him an evil person. My father thinks tough love means having no contact with him. So am I okay to keep it a secret I see my half-brother? I am 19 years old. I don't lend money and I only see my half-brother some. It is a sort of secret as my parents know I do occasionally but they don't know it is often. My mother, step-mother of my brother, has so much hatred towards him she has tried to use me as an anger toy over the years towards him.

Question: I'm embarrassed for the girl I like to meet my family?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 11:47 AM PDT

I've been talking to a girl lately and whem we were texting, my little sister saw her name and said "who's Emma?" I told her that she's a friend but of course being the dumbass she is, she goes and tells my brother. My brother then told my older sister, my mom, my mom's boyfriend and my dad. My older sister told my grandma and grandpa, my cousins, my aunts and uncles and all her friends. Now my whole family knows that there's a girl and they never shut up about it. My mom and her boyfriend are constantly asking me when they're going to get to meet her. My older sister (which is a huge wh*re) had countless boyfriends the whole time since junior high to middle school. Why is it such a big deal if I get just ONE girl that I actually do like. Yesterday, Emma invited me to go to a Carnival with her and my mom said that her and her boyfriend are going to come so they can meet her. I told them not to come. My mom asked "are you imbarrased of us?" I said yes and not she won't talk to me... It's been a few days now and I told her that its just my brother and sister and she said "you shouldn't be ashamed of who you've lived with your whole life." I really can't help how I feel about my siblings though. They will embarrass the sh*t out of me and I don't want them to meet someone that might be my girlfriend someday! My brother is 18 and called my sisters 12 year old friend "sigar ****" and that's why I don't want them meeting her. Things like that will ruin it! :(

Question: Is it OK to keep this a secret from my mother?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 11:34 AM PDT

I am going to college and staying with my brother and his wife. I started to have painful periods. It was 5 days of hell. I could barely function. My doctor put me on medication that stopped my periods. It is wonderful. I don't have these terrible pains each month. My problem is the medication that stops my periods is also a birth control. My mother is a devout Catholic who believed that anyone that takes birth control is going to hell. My brother said we should just let this be our secret and not tell my mother what I am doing. He said if she knew I was on birth control, it would cause her needless worry. Do you think he is correct in us keeping this secret?

Question: What is up my parents there my problem biggest problem in my life my whole entire family I am 33 years old my father treat me?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 11:11 AM PDT

Question: Is it so wrong to dislike your Mother?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 10:57 AM PDT

Sure, She loves me very much but the Woman has been an overbearing curse since I've gotten stuck living(and depending) on Her since I nearly died from a stroke. Truth be told She has always wanted control over my life and decisions, and now She has it. She also doesn't understand why I sometimes lash out like an angry child, when She treats me like a child at the age of 32! I'm seriously resentful of Her because of this. I got hurt, I am not mentally disabled. Yet, don't tell Her that since She likes to use the injury against me. Not only does She push Her beliefs on me, but treats me like I'm stupid. The funny thing is, before I was hurt I was(and am) more accomplished and successful than She has ever been. She barely graduated High School. I don't even like Her to be close to me or touch me. For example, today I was stopped mid dressing(and still in underwear) so She could put Her hands on my face to pray in the name of Jesus any demonic forces leave my mind that are preventing healing. I hated Her hands on my face, and giant fat chest/stomach in my personal space. I don't even really love Her anymore since this treatment.

Question: I got into an argument with my mom & out of anger I told her to shut the hell up. I apologized & she told me that she loved me but I feel?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 10:51 AM PDT

I feel horrible, what else can I do to make this right?

Question: Is he worthy of another chance?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 10:19 AM PDT

We've been dating a year and 8 months. He is currently staying with his baby mama because he has nowhere to live. He had been living off of savings for over a year and now lives 3 hours away with his son and son's mom until he can find employment. He has been pretty picky on what jobs to apply for and says he's going to look after the son while she works. He got a job where I live & starts very soon. However he still ignores me when he's around the moms. He refuses to acknowledge me around the mom, meaning he's hiding me. The phone calls are on his terms and are often made when the mom isn't around. He doesn't even call or text anymore at all but sends me one text every couple of days saying "hello or good morning sweetheart." He is talking about seeing me again when he moves back. There are times where he says he will call but never does. Weeks would go by without hearing his voice. It is SO unfair because when it's just him or him and the kids, he talks to me all the time and seemed to care. When the moms are in the area, I get kicked to the side. Ithink it's nuts that he's even still texting me after I keep ignore him. And him having a good job doesn't erase the fact that he treats me like crap but he plans to still see me. What would you do? How would you feel?

Question: (Serious answers only) Jobs to get away?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 10:17 AM PDT

Im 18 and am currently living with my parents. I need to get away. My parents are crazy and controlling and I can t deal with it anymore. I m not some selfish teenager so don t even answer with that. I am currently trying to join the military ( but I need to be off of antidepressants for a year) is there any other jobs like this? That can allow me to get away and still have somewhere to live? I m open to ANYTHING at this point. Serious answers please

Question: I told my baby daddy im taking my daughter on the 22 with me for my sister cousins bdays out to eat, and he reaponded thats my sister bday?

he respondes thata my sister birthday i feel upset he doesnt care me and his sister are in bad terms and she insulted me under my own roof is like his family over my feelings, what do you guys think is he wrong?

Question: Do you think this is as outrageous as I do?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 10:03 AM PDT

I received an inheritance and in deciding what to do with it, I decided to give my ex wife Betty $30,000. I know this may sound unusual but we had a friendly divorce and she worked and paid my way through college when we were married. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I sent her an email telling her what I planned to do. She emailed me back that her current husband would not let her take the money because it made him look bad. I thought that is kind of strange but it is her decision so I just forgot about it and used the $30,000 for something else. A YEAR later I got an email from Betty that she was getting a divorce and she could take that $30,000 now. I told her I was sorry but I had already spent it and it was no longer available. She told me she understood and that she had made a big mistake turning it down in the first place. Then I got a letter in the mail from Betty's soon to be ex husband wanting his share of the $30,000. If this wasn't so outrageous it would have been funny. I just threw the letter in the trash and did not respond to it. I did not tell Betty about his letter. I did not want to cause her any more problems. Please tell me if you think I did the right thing in this matter?

Question: Found out my boyfriend was previously female help!!!?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:51 AM PDT

Three years ago I met this cute person named Fabion I assumed he was a guy and we started going out last year. I was going to introduce him to my parents until I found out he was actually a female before he had his sex change. My parents don't know but they want to meet him... and I feel really weird going out with him because all of this time I assumed he was male....I'm really religious and I know I would never go out with girls because I'm straight... Idk what to do anymore.. my parents want to meet him and they're going to find out... and I just don't know anymore :/

Question: Did I really deserve this punishment?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:47 AM PDT

We were having a family dinner and I accidentally spilled sauce all over the carpet. My mom Leni, yelled at me and told me to clean it up! I was trying, I grabbed a towel to scrub it. When it was clean, I went to get another food plate. She grabbed a hold of my arm and swung me and I fell into the fridge. When I got up, she pushed me and I fell backward and hit my head. I got up and yelled and pushed her back. She got mad and decided to push me down the stairs. I hit the stair face first. Bloody nose, it was a blood puddle. When she saw what she did, she felt bad and said she was sorry and that I'm grounded. My cousin called her a psychopath for doing that. Is my mom crazy?

Question: Im 14 and my older sister came into my room and had sex with me I'm so disgusted by my self that I want to kill my self what should I do..?

Question: Do I have the coolest mom EVER?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:43 AM PDT

I am a high school guy with a 27 year old stepmother. She is the greatest mom in the world that a guy can have and I love her dearly. I was supposed to be doing my homework in my room but what I was really doing was watching porn on the computer and spanking the monkey. Mom walked in my room to help me with my homework. It was the biggest embarrassment of my life. I started to apologize and say I would never do it again when she stopped me. She said what I was doing was perfectly normal. She said all guys do it (is that true). It will not hurt me or cause me any harm or cause you to go blind. It is far better to do that than get a girl pregnant. She said I will come back when you are through. As she was going out the door, she said "You are really hung". Do I have the coolest mom ever?

Question: Fight with my aunt and I in the wrong?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:40 AM PDT

I suffer from severe depression. Anyways, my aunt is mad at me for the dumbest thing in the entire world. I hate even bringing this up because it's so immature and pointless, but I just need advice. So my aunt was showing us videos and everything was going okay, then all of a sudden the video stopped playing. And it just kept stopping. I mentioned something about letting the video load by pausing. Then all of a sudden my aunt goes and says, "shut up, this is your fault!" I was so taken aback immature as well. She knows how my depression is not getting any better yet she continued to harass me. So I knew I had to stick up for myself and said, "I don't think I want to watch the videos anymore." I was almost in tears at that point. And my grandmother is trying to diffuse the situation, but my aunt kept at it. Saying something else along the lines of, "you're miserable." Which made me mad and I said in a non-yellinging voice, " no I'm not, I just don't like when people accouse me of something and then randomly tell me to shut up." And all she says is, "you'll get over it." She then storms out and packs her stuff. I tried to help her with her belonging bc it was raining out and she yanked her bags out my hands and said she got it. So she leaves and says bye except to me. I feel so sad and it's not helping my depression. She's a bully to a lot of people and she has anger issues. What do you guys think of the situation and did I handle it right?

Question: Are my parents being unfair?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:40 AM PDT

I am 20. I am a girl. I am in college and I live at home. My Parents want me home at 9 on MTW but on the other days I have to be home at 11. I don't think it is fair because I am an adult I should be able to stay out later than 9.

Question: How do to deal with irrational and negative family members?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:39 AM PDT

I guess I'm just asking for advice on how to deal with my brother, whos completely irrational and overly negative. Its like hes always angry and looking for an excuse to get physical with anyone for the smallest reasons. Most of the times hes just angry for absolutely no reason ( like literally no reason, it could be a great day and he just ruins it by becoming angry) and gives everyone an attitude (including me and my mom). It feels like hes extremely hostile alot of the time and always goes too far when he gets into an argument (getting physical and yelling), not only that but the things he says is really disturbing (not gonna get into details about it). I wish I could explain more (as there is alot more to say) but I dont wanna make this too long. Im not trying to talk to him, i dont want to either, i just want to avoid contact and get this feeling of anxiety off of my chest. Honestly i hate being home now and at times i cant even sleep, i just feel so unhappy in life because of this, because of this negative feeling at home. So my question is how do I deal, not with him, but with me and these feelings; how do I just become happier by ignoring everything and by living my own life?

Question: My mom makes me clean but my whole house is a mess?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:39 AM PDT

My entire life, I ve been living in a construction project house and having to move as soon as it s finished. I am sixteen and have come to the realization that I will never live in the nice house my parents always promised. Even as I type this, our stove is in the entry, our refrigerator outside, and plastic bags are covering up furniture fit together like tetris pieces downstairs. I have come to terms with this. However, my mom has made it her personal mission to make me clean my room. Normally, I get on quite well with both my parents, but I don t feel that I ought to be forced to clean my room when the rest of the house looks like it got hit my a hurricane. Comparably, I keep my room rather clean and organize it in a way that works for me. I ve tried explaining this to my mother, but she is very much of the "because I said so" mentality, never even offering an explanation. Am I in the wrong here? Is there a way to get her to explain why? If I m not wrong, how can I convince her?

Question: Feeling trapped?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:35 AM PDT

My life seems meaningless. I do nothing but go to school and head home. My parents don't let me do anything. I'll be nineteen In a few days and I do nothing but stay home and use social media. My parents pay for everything of mines. I don't have a job, they won't allow me too. I can't go out with my friends. I can't even get a nose ring even though they picked my college degree. I'm taking bio chemistry when I am an artist. I understand art isn't the best career choice to make money but I wanted to do something around that field not biochem. That's on the other side of what I want to do. They don't let me be happy... On top of that, my boyfriend passed away a few months ago and that was my only friend. I just feel like ending my life. Any advise on what can I do to get out of this hole?

Question: Can i move out somehow without parents consent? Im 17.?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 09:11 AM PDT

Im adopted and my parents were nice to me coming up to my teen years until I reached the age of 14. We started to disagree a lot. We have argued almost every day. I come home depressed now. She always grounds me because if i say something she doesn t agree with. I never see my family because she says that I simply don t need to, same goes with friends. I met my real dad and that was really the only place i could go. So i would use that to see close friends and family. Im 16 and still the same thing. My mom says just because she is mom she is right even when she is wrong she is right. She prohibited me from seeing my real dad because i ran away and went to his house. She always has to yell at us she says she is always sick and im not helpin but yet she wont let me go live with my dad. She is just Toxic. Is there anyway i can move out? Im almost 17 in December. Any help would be very appreciated.

Question: I stole money from my mother?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:55 AM PDT

Hi there, I'm having a terrible ethical dilemma. I really wanted to buy something online but I was broke (I didn't get paid a lot this week) and I knew my mother's CC # cause she gave it to me to use for Ubers. I am so ashamed and I don't know what to do. Should I tell her? Or should I keep it to myself? I don't want her thinking I'm a thief. ETA: it was $35

Question: I only see my Dad when his wife lets him see me, how do I please her enough that she likes me and lets him see me more?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:45 AM PDT

Like most Christmas' she doesnt let him see me and my Christmas' are always wrecked. Same with summer vacations or B-Days. My Dad has no backbone. How do I kiss-up to my step-mother so she likes me enough to permit my Dad to see me more. Sadly my happiness in life is controlled by how much I see my Dad. My mother told me when first divorce how awful my Dad was and that drove me to want to see him even more, I think both parents really messed up, I am college aged now.

Question: How do I get my Dad to stop being an alcoholic so he can be a nicer Dad and spend time with us?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:36 AM PDT

Right now my Mom says he doesn't love us because he only chooses his drinks. We only get to see him once a year but he lives 30 minutes away. How can I get him to stop drinking. @smallbizperson----I want to treat him with kindness but my mother wont let me see him because she says I cant, she is holding me back.

Question: My mother does not like 2/3 of her extended family but there has never been any abuse, is she morally wrong on this?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:33 AM PDT

She refuses to go to family reunions because she does not like the siblings of her own Mom's. They have a reunion ever third year and she last went in 2005. Her excuses are lame as to why she can't go and she has openly said she doesn't like them. Her uncles were mean to her mother about money years back but they have mellowed since. However, her cousins are all very nice people. Yet my mother says she doesn't like them (I guess this includes the nice ones). I go myself with my grandmother but my mother will not forgive old offenses from the 1970's. My question is if this is just or is this immoral since it is family? She expects me to forgive my siblings if they mess up (these are uncles and cousins to my mother as well as one aunt).

Question: Father in law lost temper, kids told us, who's lying?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:15 AM PDT

Last week, my bro in law called my husband and said that their dad had verbally abused him in front of his girlfriend and punched the wall almost hitting him in the head. He was crying (he is almost an adult) and clearly traumatized. His girlfriend saw the entire outburst and told us the same story and said that my father in law was so out of control that she went outside and cried and called her parents to get her. When I asked my mother in law about it, she claims that her son deserved it pretty much because he "lied" about his grades and she also claimed the punching the wall thing never happened. She was very defensive of her hubby and I accused her of defending a known abuser. I was also a victim of his cussing/screaming outbursts, so was my husband, and both of my kids (ages 3 and 9). We are unsure of who to believe, but the girlfriend had been abused by an old step dad and I was abused as a child and I am very much against this type of behavior. I am uncertain if bringing my kids to their grandparents is a good idea until he gets help, who is lying and what should we do?

Question: I want to drop out of school?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:11 AM PDT

Last year i used to say i wanted to become a doctor, that i was gonna go to college but to be honest this year as much as i want to go to college i also wanna get a job and get out of my house. I live in a rich area and have everything i need to go to college/finish high school but i cant stand my step dad, he never talks to me unless its to talk sh*t and my moms scared of him so when he's home we're basically not allowed to make any noise or "disturbance". my little sister (my step dads her real dad) knows my moms cheating on her dad with this other dude, my little sister even calls the other dude "daddy" or her "favorite dad" (my lil sis is 8) We've begged our mom to get a divorce but i think she just gonna wait for the old man to die so she can keep the house and his money (yeah i know my mom a gold digger) But i dont want to do that anymore i wanna leave and get my own house, is it wrong that even if i have everything (economicly) i need to finish high school (im in 9th) i wanna drop out and get my own place?

Question: Parents caught me driving without a license?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 07:52 AM PDT

I have my learner s permit in PA and I came back from a slushy run with my twin brother, who was driving and also has his permit. My parents saw us coming back and they said that we re grounded for the rest of October and I can t get my license for 3 extra months. I also have low self esteem so this grounding really limits my ability to raise it, which I ve been trying very hard to do. What should I say to my parents to lessen the sentence?

Question: Is it normal to want positive encouragement from your parents at 28 years old?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 07:19 AM PDT

If I'm 28 years old and I feel sad because my parents never give me any encouragement. I've made so much progress in my life with weight loss (I've lost 72 pounds <3) and becoming more social and they never say "I'm proud of you." or "I love you." I understand that my dad is busy with his job but it doesn't take that much effort to tell his daughter "I'm proud of you." In fact, the more independent and healthy I've become, the less and less I hear from my parents. It seems like they only know what to say and do when I'm at my worst moments. How do I move on from them?

Question: My dad slapped me (17 yo girl)?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 07:16 AM PDT

I was trying to spend the night for homecoming at a friends house and told my parents they could drop me off from an after party to the house. At the after party I started drinking but it was close to when my parents were coming. My parents picked me up along with a group of friends and the entire ride I tried to convince them to let me stay. i didn t seem drunk at this point but when my friends got out of the car when we got to the house I stayed in and tried to reason with them more. The more I talked to them the more upset I got and began crying which cued them in to me drinking. I got more upset so my mom made me get out of the car and she began interrogating me on how much I d been drinking. My dad came out got really mad and forced me in the car. The entire ride back home he was screaming and at one point pulled over and hit the car with his fists; he also broke the gps. At that point I stopped talking to him and when we got home ignored him completely. I got out of the car and he told my mom to hurry up. I told him not to touch her and he said he could touch her if he wanted to and started yelling at me again. I called him a slimy slug lol. My dad kept yelling and I refused to give him a reaction- I just nodded my head and looked him up and down. He started screaming about how im killing myself and I just said ok, ok. Finally when I didn t give him a reaction he slapped me.

Question: My 5 year old saw her father smoking pipe. Should I be worry?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 06:54 AM PDT

My daughter is 5 years old and was away for a week holiday with her father. When she came home she told me that she saw her Dad smoking on a pipe and described it to be blue. She also saw a bullet thinking it's real then her father told her it's a pipe. She finds it weird to see him smoking in the garage on a nice sunny day as she used to grew up seeing him smoking ciggerette or tobacco outside during daytime. Then she said whenever they go to his friend's house people she doesn't know. He shares the pipe with his friend not knowing my daughter is watching while she was playing with "naughty" and "mean"kids that swears around her with the "F word". She doesn't know what he's doing but is very curious and wanting him to quit. He comes from a family that smokes weed and takes drugs etc. he used to take marijuana when he was 5 years old his own father back then knew what he was doing and allowed him to do it. And I don't want that kind of behaviour around my daughter thinking it's a normal thing. I don't know what he is smoking either a tobacco on pipe or something else. I have an appointment with my lawyer together with her dad and his lawyer tomorrow morning and i need to mentioned that. I know tobacco is not illegal so I don't know what he's smoking. Is it a bad thing? Should I be worry?

Question: My parents are praising my 15 year old sister for being pregnant?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 06:42 AM PDT

She turned 15 in July and just started high-school.I can't believe my parents let her date because I wasn't t allowed until I was a junior in high-school. I can'y judge her harshly since I had my first at 20 on purpose.I was judged so badly for it even thought I was engaged and graduated with an associates degree in accounting. My fiance was in the marines and we were well off for a young couple, we are even better now. My sister doesn't work, she doesn t even know how to wash her hair. I wasn t negative about this towards my family but after we got off the phone I sat in a chair in complete shock. I am 26, so there is an 11 year age difference between my sister and I. By the time she started school I was out dating a marine, partying and going thru college. I was never home. I couldn't be a good role-model for her so it was left to my mom to lead my sister into a right light but she failed. I don t think this pregnancy is a positive thing.What is a possibility my parents are so ok with?

Question: How to convince my dad to take me out somewhere?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 04:39 AM PDT

I've been cooped up inside for almost three days as I wasn't feeling well and my mum didn't want to go out yesterday, and she's gone to an annual event with her fiance today, so I'm staying with my dad, who doesn't want to go out either because he's tired. I really want to go out because I'm sick of being indoors and watching TV and looking at my phone etc and today's one of the last nice days of the year and I might scream if I stay inside much longer. I'd go out with friend but hes out with his family at the moment and my only chance to get out is through my dad. It's midday now and i just want to get out even if it's just for a drive or something how do I convince him to take me out somewhere.

Question: Am I wrong for wanting to leave ?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 04:20 AM PDT

My parents house. I'm the oldest of 4 I'm 22 and have a younger brother who will be 21 next month. Then my 2 little sisters who are 16 and 11. I feel bad that if I leave my siblings will not like me and will look at me very different and treat me different. I have wanted to move out for a while now because I have never had my own space and for other personal reasons. I just feel like I'm doing the wrong thing for leaving my siblings behind while they are still growing up. Am I just thinking about it too much ? I still plan on coming back to visit

Question: I only see my Dad when my step-mother lets him see me, how do I please her enough that she likes me and lets him see me more?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 03:46 AM PDT

Like most Christmas' she doesnt let him see me and my Christmas' are always wrecked. Same with summer vacations or B-Days. My Dad has no backbone. How do I kiss-up to my step-mother so she likes me enough to permit my Dad to see me more. Sadly my happiness in life is controlled by how much I see my Dad. My mother told me when first divorce how awful my Dad was and that drove me to want to see him even more, I think both parents really messed up, I am college aged now.

Question: I suck at communicating?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 02:13 AM PDT

With everyone even family members and at the workplace. My relationship with parents and 3 siblings is not very good. I'm the oldest of 4 and at 22 I feel very anxious and tense around people all the time. Lately I have been smoking weed with my younger brother who will be 21 soon but even when we do that I don't feel any more comfortable talking to him. I can't even open up and be myself around him or my siblings. I have no social life and have spent so much time sitting alone in my room. I want to move out soon because I feel like I'm making this house very depressing. A lot of the time I'm super quiet and feel like I should be a better big brother to my siblings. It just sucks because I suck at doing everyday things in life. I will avoid my family a lot of the time or I'll give very short answers but overall I do try to keep a positive attitude but as far as being open with them about everything I feel I can't seem to do it. I just feel like I'm stuck and never going to get any better

Question: Help fast can I get abortion without my parents knowing?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 01:49 AM PDT

I'm 16 and I got pregnant. It was a one night stand so I'm sure this guy will NOT be there for me or be there for my child. I know he's not ready because he doesn't even have a job and he been in and out of jail so I could guarantee he won't be by my side. Also my parents would kick me out or kill me because they're old school and they strongly believe is sex after marriage since they always talk about religion which is Islam and how I should take it serious. They also worry about what my relatives back home will think since everyone there is also close minded and judgmental. So I know for sure I need to get this abortion without my family knowing and I need it asap. What should I do? And how much it costs?

Question: My niece is saying incestuous things- what website would be best to ask for further help on this?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 01:38 AM PDT

People on yahoo answers sometimes dont take questions seriously, so i would love some suggestions as to where to get help for this. Basically im worried about my niece. And i dont know how to approach my brother on this (he is a single Father, and doing his best). I think my niece needs counselling. Recently i caught my niece masturbating to porn - specifically incestuous relations between brother and sister. She is 12. She used to pass comments before i caught her that would make me suspect something, but now that i have confirmation, its best to say im in shock, she is such a good girl, though she does have attitude problems, but i think thats normal. Whats really disturbing too is now that i know what shes been watching, it kind of explains why she acts/dresses provacatively around her brother - who is 13, and her uncle - my other older brother who is 27. She also makes comments about me and my nephew - when she finds out we've been having a day together (which is totally normal, hes my only nephew and i do the same things with all my other nieces). She would say "oooh lala" and wiggle her eyebrows or say "yeah, have fun with your boyfriend". Right now, she disgusts me, i cant stand being around her, but i love her and she really needs help. Now i think i have a idea why my brother(the 27 year old one) cant stand being around her either - he probably has an idea of what shes like, and same with my nephew (but i always thought that was brother/sister rivalry)

Question: My mom and sister basically tell me I have no future?

Posted: 09 Oct 2016 01:36 AM PDT

My mom and 25 year old sister constantly talk bad about me. I am a 15 year old girl who is a freshman in high school. Basically, they tell me that I do nothing around the house and don't believe me when I say I'm going to college and getting a house as an adult. My whole life I've always knew that going to college was very important, and would never even consider not going. They see my future as a loser who has a crappy job and a messy house, which I would NEVER in a million years be. It makes me so angry to the point where I want to scream. I have always had low self esteem, and the way they talk about me just brings it down even more. It just makes me so angry! What can I do? They also seem to think that just because I'm not involved in some stupid club for school that I'm lazy and careless.
