My 14 year old daughter was so kind and sweet, but when she turned 13 she became someone else. She breaks my heart so much with her attitude and actions. She doesn't want like to go out with us anymore, does not want to invite friends over, as if she is embarrassed of us, she doesn't want to tell me anything and even told me that she never would, she doesn't like to shop with me because I don't give her what she wants. I believe I am a good mother. I don't hit her, I discipline her in a good way (take away her phone or ground her, etc), then I have a talk with her after that to make sure she understands why she was being punished. I read devotion with her before she goes to bed and prays with her, take her to church, we take her on vacations, buy her things she needs (not what she wants), etc. She hates when I ask her to practice her piano and to do any chores. Hubby and I have a full time job, and my Mom lives with us. She said to us one time that she is more like her mother. It really break my heart after I've done my best as her mother. I try to be close to her while acting as her mom, not her friend. What am I doing wrong? Is it normal for her to act like this? I know raising teenagers is hard but never thought that she would break my heart every single day with her words and actions. My sis in law has teenage daughters about the same age, and they don't act this way. I am really jealous and sad too. I am tired of crying. Is this normal? Any advice? Thanks a lot.

I have straight A's and I have for all my life, so when it comes to my report cards, my parents already know I did good. I work my butt off to maintain my grades 25/8 but all I get is "Oh again? Good job.". But if my older brother gets oNE good grade it's "lets all go out to eat, get you a new car, shower u with money"? I tried telling them and they said I'm ungrateful and that I at least have a bed and clothes to put on my back. I paid for my own clothes because they won't even give me money to go shopping with, I had to get a summer job on my own, at 14, I had to mow the neighbors lawn, me. I can't bring it up to them without them shutting me down and yelling at me. I stopped talking to my parents like last week, not a word out of my mouth, and they said I have a major attitude problem. It's like I dont exist or no one cares so I dont bother to talk... I said 25/8 as a joke.. I know it's 24/7 I was emphasizing how much I do it.

I'm 17 in a half and my mom won't tell me what my ss number is where do you think she has it hiding it?

My mother gets mad whenever I like her or do anything with her, My Dad married her in April and my mother has ramped up her regular attacks on my Dad. My parents divorced 9 years ago and my step_Mom was not a part of the divorce (no affair or anything).

They also refuse to let me live on my own. They say families stay together forever. And forget driving in the snow though I kind of understand that.

Right now I am okay but too nice and as a kid was cursed offspring due to my Mom Now that I am older and on my own not sure if i am still cursed by being my mother's offspring or not

I dont want them to know he is an alcoholic because my Mom says they wont want to play with me anymore if they know

(i'm 13, almost 14). my mom is a major b**ch to me! she treats my siblings with love but not me. she seems to do a lot of things just to make me unhappy, and she ignores me a lot and threatens to punish me often for doing absolutely nothing. i can never leave the house and my friends always spend time together without me because of her. when i'm at home she complains about me the whole time...... i clean her house and basically mother her kids! she's very selfish too. she always goes out and spends money, anthough money is very tight because she quit her job (5 months ago!) because "she didn't have enough time to do other things". she's a single parent and doesn't sacrifice to provide for her family like she should. i want to move out but i'm the oldest child and i don't know who would be willing to take me in.

She doesn't have a job or any hobbies, so she either sleeps or sits on my bed all day. I really hate being around her because she yells at me and I can't control my temper around her. I'm 16 and I have so much sass that is out of control. I try to avoid her as much as I can but I don't want her to get depressed.

My mother confiscated my surface because I was spending to much time on it. She left it on the floor for days, even when I told her not to. The dog stepped on it, and broke the screen. My mom wants me to pay the $220 to fix it. Help!

i really want to tell my parents I smoke, im 16 and have horrible insomnia and I hate hiding from my parents because they are against weed because of the brainwashing from the 50s. If anyone has any tips on how to open up that would be great. Thanks.

I am posing this question not in the case of unrequited romantic love - but in the face of a child or a parent - people you are "supposed" to love in spite of their neglect.

I am not friends with her ex-husband, in fact I think he is horrible. But his brother I am friends with and have been for years (even prior to her dating his brother who she met through someone else). She is very mad because every once in a while I might see her ex (so far I only have once and was polite but that was all). My sister has two kids with him so I'd be polite anyway plus it is my friend's brother but she has instructed us to hate him and she bad mouths him to her kids (his kids also) which I think is emotional abuse but is her business.

So recently I helped my sister win a trip to for 2 at a resort and she took my mother for her birthday. But the trip came short when we had to go to a birthday party 2 days after. Well my dad and his wife were there and by the end of the day my mother snapped and got jealous. On the way home it was my older sister, mother, little brother & I in the car when she brought up about how much we hated her and etc and brought up the past. It was alright that she had her opinons about my father and his wife but to bring up about us kids she basically went to far. She said that my older sister shouldnt of taken her on that trip because she had to. And thats when things blew up from there. My mother knows how forgiving I am. And she knows I love her even though we may of had our ups and downs. I was still beside her. I wish my mother had god in her life.. And its hard for me to talk to her when she keeps pushing us away from her. What are your opinons to this?

Do most people not forgive etiquette mistakes? His were that he stayed too long when visiting and he'd come by in his late teens early twenties without calling first. He is now in his 40's and never does any of that and is a very good man. My mother doesn't care for him. I am hoping this is not normal (my mother has other issues with this relative's side of the family). But I just wanted to ask is it normal to not forgive someone's bad manners 20-30 years later or is this abnormal?

How can I show her I have forgiven (point it out) so she sees it is normal to forgive. She forgives her kids but not her siblings whereas I forgive my siblings. How do I point this out to my non-forgiving mother

My dad's side of the family are very strict, pushy, controlling people. They think that they know what's best for everyone especially my grandmother. They boss my mom around telling her she should get a new house. They are critical they used to badger me into getting a new haircut, change the way I dress and such. They question why my mom's hair is dyed purple. They also stalk our face books to see our posts. I shared post about a missing girl, the post said that she was petit so I said a simple joke that the wind blew her away. My grandmother likes to email every day and be nosy by prying out information from us asking what we are doing so she can blow up our notifications. One day she sent me 3 emails asking me to go to the fair with her, go out of town with her, and to go to a basketball camp then a phone call asking if I wanted to spend time with her. I am fed up with my family please have a polite answer or it will be reported thank you for reading

i'm 18 and i have low income and can't go to college no more, and i don't have future job. i studied in highschool and got good grades to be a scientist in physics and astrology , and my parents had plans for me, now they disowned me and all my plans are destroyed and i live in a apartment and i'm running low in money, next im gonna be homeless. what should i do? my life ended here... i feel like i want to cry... or just end my life.

I honestly really hate my life, I'm a junior and I suck at school and I never get any of the material I don't know why, no one seems to care about anything I do, I barely have stuff to wear cause my mom threw the majority of them out and I'm in my house 24/7 cause my mom never let's me leave. I don't do anything bad at all, I just want to be a regular teen.. Everything's just falling apart and we get report cards soon and it's going to make my whole life miserable cause I don't goof around in class, I just sit there and stare and just not know what to do or anything.

My sister is 23 years older than me. My mom's not married and when I was a kid, she was like my second mom and helped raise me, always telling me what to do and what not to do, making sure I didn't get hurt, etc. I'm 14 now, but she still acts like she's my mom and not my sister. She picks me up from school, tells me to do my homework when we hang out, gives me chores, makes me meals, tells me "don't talk back", disciplines me...it's really annoying. I even have to stay at her house most nights when my mom is working. My mom always tells me that I have to listen to her. I wish she acted like my sister and not like my mom. She can be fun sometimes, but it's not like she's actually my big sis. She doesn't have any kids, but I wish she did so that she would leave me alone. Sometimes I hate her. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do?

I'm 21 , married and moved in with my mother about 12 months ago after our rent rose sky high. We are living with my mother as we were saving for a wedding and a deposit for a home. My wedding is over with and we have our deposit with the house almost saved for. I am also almost 5 months pregnant, my dad died before we moved in however he and my mother invited us to stay before he died to give us some help in prep of the wedding and house. My brother is 17 years older than me he is 38 and his wife are both causing me a great deal of stress. When my Dad died and we moved in my brother became aggressive with me for moving in, he shouted at me the day after I buried my father saying the house is his to f off and move away that the entire place is his . He even tells people like my sister in London that he has no problem if she wants to stay in HIS HOUSE AKA MY MOTHERS ! However it is my mothers she pays the rent. This drives my sisters crazy and hurts my mother. For some reason my brother claims it is his acting as if my mother does not exist. I've added the rest of the story below in the comments

I'm 23. My parents can't afford it.

Pienso de forma filosófica y con razonamientos y pienso que la mayoría de la gente a mi alrededor son ignorantes; aunque lo único que busco es alguien como yo. Padezco un Trastorno Obsesivo Compulsivo, un Trastorno Obsesivo de Personalidad y un Trastorno Bipolar. También tengo esquizofrenia. Mi forma de pensar es extraña y a veces pienso cosas extrañas, aunque yo quisiera ser normal, tener amigos, (y si pudiese, una novia :D). Tengo 15 años y vivo en Barcelona. Yo creo que no es normal que a mi edad piense todo lo que llego a pensar. La verdad, he llegado a estar de parte del mal y de parte del bien en extremos altos, en los dos casos. Me suelo volver un poco loco, y pues bien solo busco a gente que me apoye.

my brother is 8 and he has autism. he gets really upset over everything. i cant bring friends over because he screams and takes tantrums and i get embaressed. for example i brought my friend for a sleep over and he started screaming cuz i wouldn't let him use my ipad then he started pulling my hair and hitting me. my friend then asked me "how do you live with that?"i get busted lips, bruises and cuts from him. and WHATEVER he does its always my fault. even if he doesnt eat his dinner my mum blames me! today he was making a hut out of wood and i wanted to help so i went out to ask him in which he replied "**** off." but i helped anyway. a piece of wood broke off and he told me to fix it or else. i told him i couldnt but he started to break the roof with a hammer. i asked him why and he screamed that it was all broke. he broke the hut then tried to hit me with a hammer! he missed but then he hit my arm and i have a bruise. i ran inside he was still chasing me and i locked myself in my room and my mum came in and asked me why i annoyed him up and i said that i didn't i just wanted to help and then she started to shout at me and calling me immature and a dirty animal and that it was my fault he threw a tantrum and that i should just leave him alone. so i started to ignore him and i got scolded for that too! this happens EVERY SINGLE DAY no joke. and i always get scolded for everything even if i look at him. i just cant cope with it anymore i cry all the time. what should i do? he also hits and screams at my parents and they let him away with it. im scared when he goes into big school because i know he will be bullied because he doenst any friends. there is an autistic boy in my year and he taked tantrums and everyone laughs at him. i dread coming back from school because i know that he will be there so i try to take really long coming home and i try to sign up for after school clubs to get away from him. i know you probably think im disgusting for thinking this.

This guy is holding her boobs and trying to unlatch my daughter from my girlfriends boobs. What should we do to unlatch?

I literally have NO privacy. I'm 15 and I'm a writer. I write on my iPad, and I found out that my brother hacked it and read everything, and of course he skipped to the one remotely sexy scene in the whole book. He's nine. My mom's even worse. The moment I leave for school she swoops into my room and messes with everything. She doesn't have a job, friends, or family so she spends her time messing with my stuff. She doesn't allow junk food in the house and she found my "stash" which is inside a hole in the ceiling. She found all the food I'd been hiding and ATE all of it. I had like 20 bags of chips in there! And then she proceeded to say she did it for my own good. It's so dumb because everyone else my age is drinking, doing drugs, smoking, etc and suddenly I'm tearing this family up because I have one pack of baked chips every day. I also have depression and anxiety, and sometimes to vent I write in a journal. Needless to say she found my long paragraph about how bad I wanted to die.Great. She never leaves my things alone and is constantly invading my privacy. Same with my brother. I don't know what to do.

My parents have been devorced since i was 1. i live with my mom but my dad used to force me to visit till i finally got a choice when i was 14 to not go. he has anger issues which thats all i knew him for and bad things happend while i was in his care, i didnt want to see him because of it but he forced me to go anyway.my dad never let me bring my things to my moms house but most of it came from her house n i wasnt allowed to bring it back. Im 18 now is it legal for my dad to sell my stuff i left or can he sell it all? I dont want him in my life anymore so i just want to know if theres a reason to go back or not. :/

Got grounded for skipping, and then again for skipping once more. I'm sitting in "in school suspension" for smoking weed in school and my mom already knows. I'm think about not coming home. But I risk getting my phone smashed, as it is still at my house because I'm grounded from it. What do?

I'm 17 and I can't take my mom anymore. She doesn't let me stay home from school EVER. She's always on me about doing my homework and getting good grades, when I basically have all Cs, which is average. And anytime I tell her to lay the f*ck off, she cries. I know she's just trying to get sympathy. I make sure to tell my dad that she was being horrible to me. Maybe I exaggerate, but she deserves it for being so annoying and naggy. I've basically got my dad on my side, so he frequently yells at her, which is fun to watch. But still she won't get off my back, and I've reached my breaking point. I'm thinking about reporting her to a school counselor for child abuse. I can say that she hit me when I was younger. And my dad gets in bar fights sometimes and has the marks to show it, so I can say she hits him too. I know this may be extreme, but I'm so sick of her nagging me. And you know what? Payback's a b*tch.

My father is out of town currently. Photos he had on iCloud transfered into my macbook and I know almost EVERY information. I'm really confused. Idk what to do. Please help.

I am 14, only child. I cook, clean, and pretty much manage everything. I take care of myself. My family has been emotionally abusive since birth, with my mom coming from an abusive family and having severe bipolar. My dad is basically a child and doesn't know how to deal with her bipolar. They never gave me the family attention I needed as a child, and because of that I have severe depression and panic disorder, which I have to try and take care of on my own, which led to an almost successful suicide attempt. It feels like I don't have a mom or dad. My mom and dad fight constantly, and take it out on me. My mom is overweight and takes out her insecurities about that and her aging out on me. I can never talk to her about myself or how I FEEL. My father doesn't listen to me, about anything, be it my health, interests, asking for advice. My mom gets manic and my dad doesn't know how to deal with it so it just blows up everywhere, a lot of times ending in my mom being hospitalized. Around the last time she was hospitalized, she was still not ok after she got out, and filed divorce on my dad, put money into an apartment, and told me she hated my dad since i was born and that we were moving out to live in our in place. And then completely revoked it a few days later and "made up" Didn't once ask how I felt. I had no one to go to. My family control me.They think I am a untrustable.I want to try and get emancipated when I am 16-17, even if it means I have to work two part time jobs. My mom constantly complains that I am too thin, even though I am 120 lbs at 5'2". She whines about her job when all she does is sit at a desk taking phone calls and making appointments. I try to help her but she only gets upset. She and my father criticize me for the way I am, be it the way I dress, the few friends I have, etc. I try to make the best I can out of my situation, but it seems I can't. I don't have any other family, my mom's mom is the same as her except even worse at times, dad's an alcoholic with Alzheimers. Grandma used to live her, they kicked her out for said reason. Dad's family doesn't care about me, they love my few cousins I have more than me, and seem to forget I exist. I just want out of this family. I tried so hard to make it work. But even as a kid I look back and they were the same way. My mom is crazy and my dad is just an idiot. I've tried running away, never worked out. I'm too young to get a job until 16-17. My high school situation is decent. I feel like my only things I can do are wait out this hell until I'm 18.

First, my dad didn't die. It's just that my therapist told me to, "accept that he's not going to be there for you the way you need him to." So I've tried removing him as a father figure. I'm crying constantly. I don't want to go back to her and the only reason I went was because I wanted to try to fix things with my dad. I've always been a daddy's girl and not having a dad sucks. Having to see him every weekend, sucks even more. He got remarried when I was 10 or 11. Ever since then, things have been bad. Now I just don't have a father figure. I need one though, it hurts too much to not have one. I want help trying to find some kind of father figure and I know that sounds crazy but I don't know how to get one. My mom won't get married again because the last few times they were abusive. I don't have any guy friends that I would make a father figure or would even be okay with that. So I don't know. I must sound stupid right now but I don't know how to handle this.

I never really knew my father. He lives a few countries over. We had e-mail contact since i was about 12/13 years. We wrote each other sometimes but it would always take him so long to answer. Eventually i grew tired. He would take months or not even respond to anything at all. About 4 years ago we became FB friends and we send a message on birthdays. He said 3 years ago that he was happy we talked again and that I could always come visit him. At the time I just finished high school and accutally wanted to see him. When i contacted him via FB it again took him forever to reply. And it wasn't a good time for him for me to come. 2years later I heard he got married and has a daughter. I tried to contact him and tell him about me and asking about him and my sister. It took him 3 months to reply to this. While he was actively using facebook. He was really excited that he was moving to a new apartment and that me and my girlfriend can come visit when it's finished next year. A few months back I finally talked with my mother about why she and my father split up when i was young (I was 2, now i'm 23). It turns out that it just didn't work out. Feeling way more mature and being in a relationship myself I once again reached out to my father with a really long message just saying I want to get to know him and telling him so much about me, including pictures. He still didn't respond(2months) while he is still posting stuff. I want to kill him a ******* dick so bad. What should I do?

His parents are visiting from another state to see his sisters new baby that was born a couple weeks ago. They have stayed with us every time they visit for the past 5 years in our tiny 1 bedroom apartment. We now have our own business as well that we run out of our apartment so space is limited and we really don't want them staying with us this time. His sister has a house they share with her in laws and she has an extra bedroom that her son does not use to sleep in. Is it rude to have my bf ask his parents to stay with his sister instead? My bf agrees it will be too much with them in our apartment for a week because of our lack of space now. I feel bed bc his mom always asks to stay with us because Our place is clean and his sisters place is a mess. But I feel like we've let them stay with us for years now when they visit and deserve to enjoy their visit without them being with us 24/7. We always pick them up from the airport and give them a vehicle to use as well. I would just like to enjoy the visit this time and let his sister handle their accommodations. Is that bad to ask for?

Basically everyone thing I say they basically mock it whiling scold me. Like for example, I said that I was not feeling well after dinner and they told me to stop it and that I was feeling fine earlier so I should get over this imagination. And if I talk to them about it, they tell me that I am wasting their time. Even if I just say I got bullied at school they wouldn't care. My dad who is a bystander tells me to leave mom alone. My mom says she considers to put me in a mental hospital or make me see a doctor for mental problems. I am weeping writing this.

So I'll be sitting for A levels in 27 days and I'm not exactly a great student, I've been doing badly in school and I really need to utilise my time now. I'm trying to do this but my dad is emotionally blackmailing me and cursing me everyday. So my dad and I are christian. I Iove God a lot but my dad believes in spending as much time as possible in church activities but I don't and recently he's been forcing me to go to church more etc but I really have a lot to study! I love God so much but I really don't think God cares about the time u invest in him as much as what's really in your heart. Deep inside I love God and I have a relationship with God and I know it. So I've been defying my dad and he's really pissed at me. Everyday he tells me to rot and says he's not going to pay for my university and he wants to see me struggle in the future (that's exactly what he said) and that part hurts me so much I mean how can he say he wants to see me struggle? Does he even know the meaning of struggle? Because I have been through A LOT in my life (due to break ups and bullying and stuff) and I cant imagine going back there. He also said a lot of other terrible things about me and for the past 3 days I've just been sitting and crying at my table 60% of the time I'm supposed to be studying. How can I not take what he says seriously because they really hurt I know they shouldn't but they do. Any form of help would be appreciated thank you so much(:

My mother has a boyfriend, and she totally changed. She always yells at me for nothing . She goes out with him în the midnight. I used to call her to figure it out where she is but she was soo angry . She tried to slap me because of him. He cheated his ex wife with my mother . That woman was beaten by him and also he hae a child with her . My mother used to tell me that she loves me .. (my mom and my dad are divorced and my dad don t give a **** about me ). I tried to talk to her but nothing. He is soo filthy, he doesn t know what is a toothbrush . My mom is working în other country and she can meet him only when she is coming back . She doesn t spend to much time with me and my brother (10 years old ; im 14 ) . She wants to come back for ever and I don t like it . I just want my mother back . I cry every night and I just can t stop. Sometimes I want to die (that was my wish for my 14 birthday because she ruined it) or to stop loving her .

My sister broke up with her bfand she is really sad. I know us boys are assholes but i want to do something nice for her to cheer her up. I would apprecitate some ideas from girls. Thanks all in advance. She is 17. I asked this once already and all answers i got were d1ckheads trolling

I have aspergers & an intellectual disabilty. my parents think a full time job will be too much for me. i have a part time at a supermarket which pays decent money plus i get disability pension from centrelink. i want to work full time & move out of home eventually but my mum said i need it & that im mad for not wanting it & i dont have to worry about paying full price for my car rego. is she only saying this becasue shell lose her carers payment she gets for me and my sister who has autism. & wont be my carer anymore? i don't get why shes my carer, i dont really need one do i? i also want to travel and because of my pension, im not allow out of australia for more then 28days & my parents dont like the idea of me going overseas. i wish i could make my own decisions, im sick of still living at home & being stuck here. they treat me and sister like slaves, a few times my mum made my sister walk down the street (my sister doesn't drive) to get a packet of smokes fro her when my mum could easily drive down there herself or she makes me do it which is almost everyday or she calls out to us to get her a drink from the fridge in the garage when shes in the lounge room or on her computer which is closer & my sister & i are in the other far from it. my parents also leave their dishes & crap everywhere or put them in the sink & dont put them in the dishwasher, my sister & i always clean up after ourselves & put ours in the dishwasher. am i getting treated unfairly or are they right?

So I am in 8th grade, and I am supposed to be taking Pre-Algebra this year, but I got put in the advanced class this year so I am taking Algebra 1. Anyway the teacher wants us to do everything alone, and I am doing horrible. My grades went from As to Cs and Ds not only in Math. As I am spending hours on my math, I lose focus on other subjects as I don't have the time. History and English are my strongest subjects and even there I get really low grades now. I am genuinely doing my work and trying hard but it docent seem to be enough. My parents said that they used to be so happy attending my parent teacher conference, now they don't want to go and hear about my unfortunate grades. I feel so trapped, and sad. People have always expected me to be that smart kid. But I am losing my mind, mentally and emotionally. I feel so worthless and stupid. I have extremely high anxiety, and I'm starting to feel extremely depressed. Whats the point of living if I am so stupid? I don't know what to do, i feel so lost and trapped in this life?

Well in early 2015 January my wife left for training in a new career. When she left she cut off all communication with me, I means phone calls got ignored texts went unanswered for months at a time. And when she did finally say anything to me, it was cold "it's over with us." "I thought about this for a long time and I don't want this marriage." I pleaded to try and save our marriage, for our kids who are 3 and 4 years old now. The big issue is that I finally accepted our marriage is over, and while having a severe anxiety attack an ambulance was called for when it arrived I met the most beautiful sweet woman I've ever known. We began dating we had sex a few times, but the wife is still in the back of my mind. I feel guilty because now she telling me she doesn't want to divorce, what should I do? Our kids stay with me at least 900 miles away from their mom, and the new woman has been awesome with them,

The other day i met my cousin,he asked me what's going on in your life and i said i watched this movie called PINK(Hindi movie).The movie is based on the story of three girls who fight for their rights.After hearing my reply he said:This much worst days came to you that you are watching women empowerment movies.LOL.And then after wards he started calling me illiterate woman and kept on saying that i got annoyed and left.I am boy by the way so plz help.what did he mean??

So my little brother who is in 7th grade is currently 12 (going to be 13 in February) and I'm not sure how to approach talking to him about puberty. I'm 22 and his legal guardian, and our parents aren't in the picture for reasons that I won't go into on here. I want to talk to him about this because growing up without a dad, older brother, nobody ever talked with me about it, leaving me to have to figure everything out on my own (bodily changes, shaving, development, etc). It wasn't horrible, but I know now that it would have been a lot easier if someone had talked to me about it. I'm just a little weary about how to approach this. I don't want to embarrass him, or make him feel awkward, but I want him to know the things I didn't know at the time and be comfortable with it and let him know that it's normal. Despite our age difference, we're very close. It's literally just the two of us, and things have actually been very good these past few years. I've got a full time job that can comfortably support us. He's in school during the time that I'm working, so we pretty much do everything together. He's my best friend. I just don't know how to bring it up or how much I should. Do I just bring it up in a normal conversation while we're eating dinner one night? Sit him down and talk to him particularly about it? Or just mention it and say if he has any questions to ask me? Any insight from anyone who's been in a similar situation would be great! Thanks!

Okay so long story short my mom is a deadbeat she hasn't seen my in over 2 months and she is posting pictures of me from my facebook account and posting it on hers let's say i'm hanging out with my friends and i want to get a picture with a statue i ask them to take a picture of me standing next to the statue and i post it on fb and then my mom goes on my fb account and saves that photo and posts it on hers and says stuff like "I love my son so much we're hanging out at (insert place)" And this is really pissing me off because not only does she never see me but she has also stolen from me she's done worse stuff but i won't go into example since this is already pretty long so what can i do about this because frankly this just made me hate her more.

So my friend lived with his grandfather and grandma before and later he got sent to this one community college that is at the countryside which is very far away from his home and apart from that, he got forced taking the course that he absolutely hate. Now that he lives inside a dorm, apparently few weeks later few students started targeting him and started to mocking him and bullying him. There're like 30+ people of them in a group. And about a weak a go, those bullies started to being aggressive by punching him few times. So obviously after that incident, he wanna quit. Then comes the real problem. Both of his grandma and granddad apparently still seeing him as a small kid who can't make any life decision and still need to be "protected". So when my friend told them he wanna quit, they said he's only saying that just to having an excuse of laying around in the house and do nothing. He said he will not do that and said he wanna change college and taking different course but his grandma and granddad (grandma mostly) said they don't have any money to send him to another college and completely disagree with the choice of taking the student loan. Later he finally suggest that he wanna take a part time job and later enter another college by using his own money. Still the same answer. So now he's completely under mental breakdown because if he wanna get out from the house, he has nowhere to go and on top of that, he doesn't have any money to rent a small room. (continue) (continuation) He even complained to his other relatives but they gave him same answer like his grandma and granddad did. And about the bullying thing, he actually wanted to report to the head counselor but afraid of the consequences because they might do something far more aggressive than they ever did before considering there're 30+people of them and he don't have that many friends to back him up.He even thinking of suicide now. I can't even bring any much help to him other than moral support.

I wanted to go to this place ala-teen but my mother says I cant because people will know (my friend goes as his mother is a severe alcoholic like my Dad) My Dad is drunk all the time and has been arrested twice and doesnt work. I am always scared to find him dead when I come home from school. I am 15. So why is it such a secret

My sister is getting married to the love of her life this weekend! They are each 25 and have been together for 3 years. The wedding is in their favorite place - the big apple! Does anyone have any marriage advice for the soon to be newlyweds? All advice is welcome! Thanks guys!

My Mom allowed my bipolar father to physically abuse me growing up. This was between 1993 and 2011. More like 1997 for when the abuse actually began. When I asked her about it the first time, she said it was discipline.He pulled my hair, hit me, and banged me into walls. The only time she cared about his temper was when he got mad at her. She said we would leave if he hit her. That was it. One day when I was 16 he banged me into a wall so much I thought he was going to kill me. My (twin) sister had to beg him to stop. He says the wall part didn't happen. He only remembers punching the wall afterward. When my Mom got home she said we would leave the next time he did it. Their was a f---ing hole in the wall, and I had to seal it up in the end. How could she just let me be abused? She says she knows it went too far now, but she tries to put some of the blame on me. I think she just wants her kids to love her. She's always more concerned with me hating her, instead of how I feel bad everyday as an adult. How could a mother love her husband first? How could my Mom let my dad abuse me?

My parents dont do anything about it

I really want to move out my house because my mom isn t telling me something she should. She s been avoiding telling me what s going on. Why am I concerned? Because there s been people trying to get into my house, and it happened 4 times. I don t know if it s my moms friend or some teenagers, but we did call the police. I m horrified to live in this house now. I only live with my mother and sister, my dad lives in China and my brother lives in Hawaii. But the big thing is that I m only 13, so I can t go pay myself rent. I feel extremely uncomfortable. I don t know what to do, I literally don t want to live like this for 5 or 6 more years. What can I do?

My mother has been lying about her age for over 20 years now. She is always dating younger men ever since my dad passed (she seemed to move on from my father pretty quickly) and even married a man who has 13 years younger than her who was a verbally abusive drugs addict who was mean to her kids right after my dad passed away. She would even talk bad about my dad to us after he died even though he was a great man and husband who was loyal to her. My mother is in her 50s now yet on Facebook she posts her birthday as her being 39 and she even takes selfies while driving her car (even though she has been involved in several wrecks recently). She has always been weird but it seems to be getting weirder as she gets older Why does she do this and what should I do?

Hi so to start this off, my name is Dalton Gilmore I've been mentally abused by my father for years. Back 8 years ago I discovered I have chronic issues that make me **** 24/7 constantly, & I also cough up blood. Back in 2014 my parents divorced, me & my mother moved I was doing so good even teaching people about computers in classes. Since 2014-2015 I was doing not even coughing up blood once. Well I was forced to move back with my father, however it's not my moms fault she couldn't afford me & my little sister because my dad cheated her on child support. Well I moved back in I was doing good at first, but my dad offered my marijuana for health benefits for my issues, so I did for 12 months. And in that time he never took me to my doctors appointments & now I'm throwing up blood, shitting blood, losing my memory even though I was going to college for Architectural arts but now I feel utterly terrible. Can I sue my father for damages to my health? Afterall he never took me to the doctor when I threw up blood, he thinks im mental but I almost died 5 times from this stuff. And the marijuana he gave helped but now my memory is terrible because of what he decided to give then bringing to the doctor. If I didn't kill my self from the pain I endure everyday stuck in a bathroom with no life, then please & thank you for listening & please give me you're opinion.
