Family: Question: What if my family doesn't like me?

Question: What if my family doesn't like me?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 02:22 PM PDT

I don't know what they are thinking so I am afraid they secretly don't like me. My uncle's wife stopped liking us because she didn't like a friend of my mothers. As a result we were all bad in her eyes. She was nutty though (they are divorced now). If someone can dislike me purely on grounds of who my mother's friend is then I wonder what else they might dislike me for. So what if my family dislikes me and how do I cope with never knowing?

Question: I feel like im treated like a 13 year old sometimes?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 02:16 PM PDT

Im 18 i just graduated from highschool. Im going to my friends party tonight but my dad wont let me take an uber home. He has to pick me up and its so embarrassing im an adult and I should be doing things on my own. Ive gotten into trouble many times in the past for drinking/smoking but at the same time im an adult and everyone my age goes to parties and drinks... and takes ubers. Hes way too overprotective. My stepmom told me to download the uber app and sign up for it to show him that i know how to use it. But he wont let me and he said he might test me for drugs and alcohol when i get home. 85/ honestly ridiculous. I need more freedom. Other parents dont do this

Question: How do I deal with a controlling mother?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 02:13 PM PDT

I am 22, I go to uni, but I can never go out whenever I want. I currently do not have a car. I either bus or ride my bike to school. Same for my job. Whenever I have night shifts, my mom sometimes calls my work to actually check if I am there. If a friend wants to take me out and it's past the time she wants me back by, she will harass my friend until they leave. I have had many instances where my mom would end up blowing up my phone demanding to know where I am at and she will come there. I am so tired of this. Because of this, my friends have been not wanting to hang out any more. I have told my mother about how it makes me feel and she does not listen, care or show any interest. I am really poor, moving out is not an option. I am paying for my school while I live at home. It's really expensive and moving out isn't something I can do at the moment.

Question: I'm 21 and my parents just got divorced, Dad gets stupid mad when i go to see my mom.?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 02:12 PM PDT

I visit my dad often. I actually go to his house to see him more than he comes to see me. I love both my parents to death and I don't favorite either one, but recently my Dad has been talking crap about my mom right in front of me and saying things I don't want or need to hear. Its gotten to the point where I've left his house a couple times because he won't stop even when i tell him how much I don't like it. Today was my day off work and I planned on visiting both of them. I went to see my dad and he wasn't home and he said on the phone he would be there in an hour. So in the mean time went to see mom where she is now living with her new boyfriend. My dad saw my truck outside and called me on the phone to yell at me to not come see him. I was pissed. Problem is my sisters are getting together at dads and I never get to see them but I can't go to his house without dealing with his terrible negative attitude towards me.

Question: Is 16 too late to get adopted?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 02:07 PM PDT

My parents are abusive (mainly my dad), and i don't want to continue to be dependent on them any longer. I'm scared to break my family up, but I don't want my younger siblings (who are 12 and 3) to go through what I have. Should I just deal with the abuse and hope that my siblings turn out better than me? Or should I make a huge mess and only really live with new parents for 2 years? please help

Question: Is my cousins little sister in love with me?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:59 PM PDT

My name is Jason and i'm 16 years old. I spend alot of time with my cousin who is 15 years old. Well he has a little sister who is 8 years old who always hugs me and says how much she loves me. She even says that she loves me more than her brother. I really love her because she is my family but she acts all flirty around me. Like when we're going to sleep shes like i want to sleep with Jason!!! Sometimes she even kisses me and then giggles. What do i do because i dont want to hurt her feelings or something. And i don't get it why always little girls fall in love with me. That has happened to me so many times. Maybe because im really nice to children.

Question: I m 15 and want to stay the night with my boyfriend?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:50 PM PDT

I m 15 years old and have been with my boyfriend for 9 months he is 16 and I have already stayed the night at his house. Both my parents are okay with me having sex with him because I m on birth control and use condoms.We dont do anything dangerous ,mostly just order pizza,sleep,and watch movies.My mom has previously allowed me to stay the night at his house,but because my dad found out and doesn t want me too my mom won t let me anymore because she fears that because of that my siblings and I will be taken away from her. Will we actually get taken away? And do you think that I shouldn t be allowed to stay the night?

Question: How to get my parents to love me again?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:44 PM PDT

For the past three days I have been rejected by my entire family for seemingly no reason. Starting on Friday my dad started yelling and cussing at me and took my phone away without saying why. I've been secluded to my room since then to avoid the glares and angry looks of my family. I have to wait until everyone is asleep to eat. I cleaned the house in hopes of making them happy but that didn't work. I just don't know what I did wrong and what to do to make them love me again. I don't want to be rejected anymore.

Question: My son'stares weird question?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:38 PM PDT

As a mom I love my son so much I could just eat him up. So when I'm playing with him I like to tell him I'm going to gobble him up. The other day he asked me what would happen if I swallowed him alive. What would you tell you kid?

Question: My dad saw me half-naked?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:30 PM PDT

I was changing in my room, the door locked with my sister. My sister opens the door and leaves to go into the bathroom. I was walking over to the door to close it when my dad walked past my room and saw me (i had a shirt on, but I was in my underwear) I froze, feeling humiliated. he smirked for a second then walked away. I feel really embarrassed and angry at my sister for opening the door. What do I do? @bluebellbkk Not really the answer I was looking for, but thanks and I just feel very embarrassed because I am a very reserved person.

Question: Can I move back to illinois to live with my grandparents? (im 15)?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:23 PM PDT

I wont be sharing any backstory, any details, and certainly anything that could be used to find out who I am and what the circumstances are for me writing this question beyond the next sentance or two. That being said, I want to move back with my grandparents who live in Illinois. I live in Nevada and I don't want to be here anymore. I live with my Stepdad and my mom who I can never seem to get along with. To them I seem to be the worst child in existence. Furthermore, my father lives somewhere on the east side of the United states and I would like even less to live with him. My only other viable option would be to go live with my grandparents, but I have no idea how possible that is. I have my reasons for going and I'm sure that if I was required reasons to want to leave I could state a few that would work for anyone who is asking. Like I said I dont want to give out any details but I have reasons for not wanting to be here that are pretty valid. Anyways, I guess my final question is how possible is it for me to get my grandma to have custody of me and allow me to move in with her? What would I have to do?

Question: Walked in on daughter and her former best friend... advice needed..,?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:17 PM PDT

My daughter Emilia who is 25 recently bought her own estate and new car as she is a lawyer and spends half of the day working.She works and does night studies because shes aiming to get a higher job. Recently she gave me and my wife a spare key to the estate to drop off some papers that she had left in our place while visiting. She told us to drop them off next week because they were not necessary. As we arrived we noticed another car parked beside the estate. We went inside but nobody was there so we decided to drop them off on her desk on the second floor. When we opened the door to her room we found her having sex with her former female best friend!!! Emilia was supposed to get engaged to William her boyfriend that she had been seeing for 6 months... my wife are in shock... Emilia had always joked about her former friend being a lesbian but she hasn't dated anyone in high school or college... we tried distancing her from her friend but they met up in college again... we always thought she was a bad influence but now this.... me and my wife are in shock and in need of advice...

Question: I am 17 years old and have a sister that is 18 years old. My parents are from Pakistan and I have been born and raised in California .?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 01:10 PM PDT

My sister, and 2 close friends accompanied me to Los Angeles and we went shopping in the area, left around 12 and headed over to one of my friends house for kickback Halloween party. Instead of sleeping over because my parents would rather have us home, we drove ourselves home. We tried to be safe and were. We did take a slight risk but overall everything was ok. Now my parents are extremely upset with us, and everyone is emotional. What do you guys think of the situation? We just want a little bit more freedom, responsibility and don t want to be treated like middle school kids.

Question: My brother hangs out with ghetto like people. He was never raised in that crowd, what makes people appealed to that type of crowd?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 12:58 PM PDT

He is a druggy but was like this long before the drugs became a problem.

Question: My mother has a dangerous friend who likes to instigate conflict in my mother's family. How do I stay safe from this woman's destruction?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 12:57 PM PDT

Obviously I stay away from this woman. However, when she lights a fire between my mother and others it sometimes comes back to bight me. This woman (a friend of my mothers) is not evil, she just likes stirring up conflicts like a tabloid or a rumor layer (one who lays rumors and then hides). For example she revealed to my mother how her brother's wife said she thinks my mother is Ms. bitchy. My uncle's wife, while kind of cold, had never shared that to my mother's face. This woman knows my Moms brother as her husband is friends with him. So now my mother won't go to anything at her brother's house (though I still go). I ask because my mother is with this woman for the weekend so I don't know what scandal this woman might stir up come Monday when my Mom returns. @SPARK----This woman is married. My step-Dad and her husband are together this weekend also.

Question: My father in-laws strange habit?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 12:33 PM PDT

My father in-law is pretty disgusting especially when eating a meal at the table. I can barely put up with the way he eats with his mouth open, farting and burping but there's one habit that make me feel nauseas. Often at the dinner table he'll fart on his hand which leaves a little splatter of poop on his palm, he then raises both hands in a shrugging motion, turns his head weith his bottom lip out and shouts JIMMY! He has done this from the start but I have a weak stomach, I have complained to him and my wife about it. My wife says that he's always done that and that everyone's different but I was raised with manners at the table and I have stopped dining with him. This has caused some problems with my wife. How do I handle this without upsetting everyone?

Question: Do you think this is strange behavior from my friends parents? im worried for her?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 12:10 PM PDT

her dad told her her grandma died. (i was in their kitchen when he said so) then he dad said to her obviously confused 11 yr old sister ''wash the dishes.'' grandmas died, wash the dishes!!!! 11 yr old sister looked like she was still a little shocked. then her dad said ''oh sorry, youre upset'' 11 yr old didnt get a chance to respond before her mom yelled ''shes not upset, she doesnt give a sh-t about my mom!'' like woah. i know death is upsetting but why would they act like this. the 11 yr old was just like so confused the whole time, then upset after her mom said that crazy stuff. my friend said after that this was normal in her house. ??

Question: My mom makes me suicidal?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 12:07 PM PDT

My mom makes me super depressed and suicidal. My gets super mad super easily. I am 15. My mom never acts like a mom to me. She tells me I was the worst mistake of her life everyday and constantly yells at me. She made me miss this thing I was looking forward to for the past four months just the other day because I was having a bad attitude that day. I didn't even talk to her that day. She tells me that I do horrible in school when I always have a 4.0 and that I am a terrible person. My room is only dirty until I clean it on the weekends, (I don't have time during the week with school, homework, cheer, national junior honor society, etc.) I am only on my phone to text my boyfriend, I never use curse words. She tells that I am just "15 years of heartbreak" for her and that I should just leave. She has threatened to have me emancipated multiple times. She always tells me to kill myself and takes my computer away, which is how I do my homework and then hits me if I get a B on a project. When I show her things I am proud of she always tells me they are stupid and rips them up or throws them away. She makes me want to die. She never lets me do anything. She tells how I am fat, ugly, disgusting, waste of oxygen, etc. She makes fun of my acne and stretch marks daily. She tells me that I should never be seen without makeup. She just genuinely makes me want to kill myself. She really hurts me and I hate it. She has treated me like this since I turned 10. Help.

Question: Should I sign up for this trip?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 12:01 PM PDT

My mom had a stroke a month ago, and it affected her walking. Im her only child, and my dad passed away six years ago, so it's just her and I at home. She still needs a walker, but her physical therapy scores continue to go up in how well she can get around. In June me a 13 people I knew went to work with high school kids in Europe for a week. The school would like us to go back, this time over Spring break, but I only have too Wednesday to sign up, and then registration opens to people that didn't go on the trip. I'd really like to go! back. I have an immense sadness over the thought of not returning. Yes... at this point my mom still needs me. But she's improve since her stroke, and there's still 4.5 months to keep getting better. I've decided not to tell my mom this till March, because I don't want this stressing her out. I'm in my 20s legally it's my choice to go or not. In the event she's still not stable, I could back out, and the money would just go to other team members so they don't need to pay as much.

Question: My wife asks for ''couple therapy''?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:52 AM PDT

First of all, i'm not very confortable talking about my personal business to strangers. Second, the money they ask is just ridiculous! Makes it seem like a bulletproof therapy. It's not. What if I agree to that, give them the damn money and they don't solve nothing? Wouldn't I look like a jackass?

Question: How do I deal with my alcoholic father?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:51 AM PDT

He is perfectly nice but when he is drunk he is grouchy. My mother I can't ever see him because of this. Unlike the other user on here who always says his mother is holding him back I think my mother might think she has to. However, it is my Dad and I am 15. I want to have a relationship. My mother cuts him down each day but he was mean to her so maybe she can't help it. I just want to know him because he is my Dad, even if he is grouchy. All my friends have Dad's and I feel bad I don't. He threatenes to take my mother to court so he can see me but then he doesn't show up. He is a bad alcoholic. My mother says he doesn't love me because of this but I kind of think he might. So I just want to know my Dad, how can I when my mother and her family won't let me? I just want to know him even if he is mean. I'm the only person I know without a Dad except one other person who has a step-Dad instead.

Question: Should I help my mother ?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:50 AM PDT

My mother who is 60 recently lost her job. She went through a divorce 2 years ago and bought a house that is very expensive and she can no longer afford the payment on it. It is a very nice place. Ive always lived below my means in a very modest house that is paid for which she has always mocked. My mother has no money now even though she has worked good jobs all of her life. She spend most of her money on various boyfriends in which she was their sugar mama, vacations, lavish trips, new cars, etc to keep up the lifestyle. She has never helped me financially since I was 18 and I struggled a lot to pay bills and put myself through college. Should I help her?

Question: How do I remove my brother from my life as a minor?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:42 AM PDT

My brother is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. Hes mentally ill, but he has no drive to get better. He makes my everyday life miserable, and my parents just gave up on trying to get him to leave me alone. How do I just get rid of him?

Question: I'm scared my kids father is about to leave because I haven't married him?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:41 AM PDT

We've known each other about 7 years and have been together for 3. The first time I got pregnant he mentioned getting married but I refused because I didn't want a child to be the reason he chose to settle down. Lately things have been getting tense between us. We had another child about 9 months ago, and though I changed my birth control he still uses condoms and his answer was that he wasn't putting another baby in me until we were married. That mixed with the fact his parents have moved in as well probably contributed to his thinking. He gave me a ring and proposed long before our second son was born, but I never wear it and haven't even after we moved into a new house (his parents needed their own bathroom) that is beautiful. I've never told him really about my dating history not even after all these years because I was still a virgin when we first slept together. I dealt with a dude who was married but he lied about it, going back to a wife who he had restraining orders out against after I refused to sleep with him. It really hurt me to a point of suicide, especially since the guy blamed me for it and went about his life, but even despite a move and meeting him, I haven't been able to let go it seems. The way he talks sometimes is scaring me, like him wondering if he should move his parents into their own house because his mother didn't pay the light bill one month and our power was switched off for a night. What should I do?

Question: Can a wife not legally separated from her spouse say when he can or can talk to and see his daughter which she decides no all time?

Question: My friend is 15 and still eats happy meals? His whole family had happy meals, got me one too. Whyyyy?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:21 AM PDT

I was at his house and his mom said she'll go get mcdonalds. She asked what I wanted and I said whatever my friend is having. She came back with happy meals for me, friend, his 16 year old sister, herself and my friends dad. My friend said he was so full after. From a happy meal??? Grown adults eating happy meals!! They're rich, why didn't they buy normal meals?

Question: What should I do about this situation dealing with my inheritance?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:18 AM PDT

So I'm 19 and my mom passed away leaving me with inheritance, though I don't know how much it is. So my first question is how to I find out how much it is? I believe it's invested somewhere, though my dad really won't tell me anything. I'm really fed up because it's my life and I know I deserve the truth. Also, he says i can't spend it until I'm 35!? What's your opinion on that? Any feedback would be really appreciated.

Question: Should I be a witch or a black widow bride?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:18 AM PDT

Trying to figure out if I should dress up as a witch or black widow bride. I have a long black dress. It's for hollowen. Why it's in the family section I don't know

Question: Why is it that our kids don't see us for our faults when they're young? They only see us for our good qualities?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:08 AM PDT

When children are small they love you so much and don't care if you're not super rich, they don't judge you if you're not cool.. They love you soooo much regardless... They don't see us for our faults, but they see us for all of our good qualities. Why are kids like that? When does that type of love start to go away? Teen years? And why does it go away and we become "annoying" parents as they get older?

Question: I'm 14,my parents are divorced. It's really hard. My dad is dating and and so is my mom. How do I cope with this?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 11:07 AM PDT

I sort of feel like their dates don't like me. It makes me uncomfortable that they always just stare at me awkwardly. Almost like they wish I weren't there.

Question: Does anyone else here have a dad that's badàss like Clint Eastwood?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 10:59 AM PDT

As long as I could remember, my father was always the Alpha male. He was the leader of the pack.. And he wasn't scared of anyone but everyone was scared of him.. My dad was so badàss it reminded me of a Clint Eastwood movie.. He had that attitude.. I remember one Time a guy pulled a shotgun out on my dad in front of his face and my dad wasn't even scared.. In fact he DARED the guy to shoot him.. I remember my dad standing there saying "Shoot me you mother fûcker" and he didn't back down at all.. And when the guy got scared to shoot my dad he started to put the gun down and my dad grabbed the gun and hit him in the face with it, dropped the guy to the ground and waited for the police to come to arrest him.. That's just ONE story I have of my father.. My dad really wasn't a person to mess with.. He was no joke.. He was the toughest toughest person I ever knew in my life!! He spent 20 years in the military and was very intimidating.. He was the top ranks in the army, and knows how to fight to kill a person (he knows what spots to hit to put a person out of their misery) Everyone knew not to bully me because they said my dad was like Clint Eastwood and would hurt them really bad lol. Does anyone else have a tough , rough Alpha Male dad or a weakling for a dad?

Question: Parents placed a hidden camera in my room?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 10:44 AM PDT

It's not a surprise to me as my parents have always been overprotective & I've never been able to go virtually anywhere without them accompany me. But the day I overheard my mother and father buying a camera to place in my room, really frightened me. I don't do anything bad, and Ive never had a friend come over to my house , I don't drink/smoke, and I've never had sex. ( I do attract many boy's attention, but do to my parents i haven't even kissed or made advances with a single one.) I feel uncomfortable , and I already don't have any privacy as it already is. As a child (0-14) , she purchased a baby monitor & that would be her way of keeping track of me. Where are places they would hide a camera like this & how can I disable it?

Question: Can I stay at my teacher's house while my mom is out of town?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 09:54 AM PDT

My dad is abusive and I am terrified to be around him alone. My mom is going out of town this week and I am afraid that he's going to hurt me. Last time she was out of town, he followed me around with a video camera while i had a panic attack and screamed at me (and that's only the tip of the iceberg). I don't have any friends to stay with, and I trust her a lot because she actually cares about me and listens to me when I need help. If things get bad, I feel that she would be the best person to stay with, but I don't know if it's legal. I don't want her to get fired. Could I just say that I'm staying with her son who's a year younger than me? Please help asap

Question: I don't love my mom?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 09:41 AM PDT

She has done so many things like when I was a kid I didn't do anything she pulled my hair and dragged me into the hall way into my room and I was crying I will NEVER forget that and when I did some bad stuff on a phone when I was young she would yell at me tell I cry still would yell at me even if I was crying when she could of just took my phone away and be a better parent. She ignores me often and I know she likes my older brother better then me I am seriously thinking not having contact with her once I move unless she treats me better and she gets upset when I don't say I love you back because well I don't. What would you do?

Question: Is my sister a bully???

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 09:27 AM PDT

My sister who is 11 has lately become a meaner. She yells at me for breathing and yells at me when I don't get her things and hits me when I'm sleeping. She yells at my parents when they tell her to shut the TV and yesterday she threw a tantrum because my parents "forced" her to eat her breakfast. She hits me if I don't help her with homework. She threw a tantrum today because our parents won't buy her a $50 dress. She doesn't do want anyone else wants to do she only wants her way. Is my sister a bully or is she not or am I just over reacting.

Question: Should I tell my teacher about my abusive parents?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 09:06 AM PDT

I have a teacher this year that I really trust, and who gives me the emotional support that my parents don't. I'm really scared because my mom goes out of town in a week and my dad is the more abusive parent. Last time she left, I had to stay at a friend's house for a week because I couldn't be around his abuse and was terrified that he'd hurt me more. However, I don't have any close friends right now. I don't want to be stuck with my dad if he's going to be so bad because he has been awful to me lately, but idk if I should tell her about my issues bc idk what she could do. Do you think that she would be allowed to let me stay with her in case something happens? Should I do this? Please help, I'm very afraid. I sometimes wish she was my mother because she actually cares about what I'm going through and offers me advice. I see her interact with her son at school (he's a year younger than me) and I'm jealous and sad because my family doesn't love each other like that, even in public.

Question: Is it ok for my parents to do this to me?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 09:04 AM PDT

I m 16 and live with my 2 sisters and my two parents. My parents hate eachother and fight like crazy and always threaten divorce and tell eachother they re going to have an affair. I hate how they fight and they always end up bringing me into it. Neither of them clean and they expect me to do it all. So everyday I come home from school at 3, pick up my brother and then clean and cook dinner till 5 which is when I have to go to soccer till 8. So when I come I clean up the dinner mess and then do my homewoek which takes me till about 10. My parents also expect nothing less that straight A s. Almost everyday they insult me. For example yesterday when I was cooking dinner if forgot to make rice with the meal and my mom screamed at me saying I m a "useless piece of crap" and that she wishes she never had me. Also my dad always calls me fat and refers to me as "fat Taylor" instead of my real name. That s not even the worst of it. Not a day goes by where I don t end up crying in my room. They always tell me I should move out and they throw things at me, usually whatever s near them. With my dad it s the worst. I m actually scared of him when he gets mad because I m not sure if instead of throwing something at me he ll hit me. Every single day he drinks a 12 pack of beer and follows by smoking weed (medical) and vaping. I don t know anything other than this so I m not sure if it is normal but I just want all of it to stop so if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.

Question: How do I interact with my baby half-brother?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 09:04 AM PDT

I'm 16, a junior in high school. My dad is 51. I have 2 older half brothers from my dad's previous relationship, and we get along just fine. My parents divorced about 2.5 years ago, so not that long to me. My dad got in a relationship and the lady got pregnant. Out pops my new half brother. He lives with her, her 10-year-old son, and her 6-year-old daughter. My parents have joint custody and I see my dad every two weeks. Usually during this time my little half brother comes by. He stares at me a lot and while he can walk, he doesn't come over to me without some coaxing from my father. I just stare back and I don't really talk to him without my dad. I don't know why I'm making this such an awkward situation, but I don't know what to do. I don't to be the estranged older sister. I'm pretty sure I'm not jealous. Also I almost feel bad for my dad. While I want to be like tough luck you know how babies work, he was almost free of kids seeing as I'm about to go off to college, but this kid is barely one. How do I show affection and get over my weirdness towards the situation? I

Question: I was adopted as an infant. I was told that my biological parents were students at college and wanted to finish there education.?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 08:38 AM PDT

Today I have a lot of bitterness towards them for abandoning me and having to deal with finding out that my adoptive family wasn't my blood family. The sad part is that my bitterness affects me and only me because I've never met these people that gave me away. My dad who raised me has passed away and the mother that raised me we have grown apart. How do I deal with my depressed state of mind? I am also thinking about looking for them to find out my medical history and to get a few things off of my chest? Any suggestions?

Question: I grew up all my life in the urban east coast (Boston, New York, NJ), what do you think of my idea to move to rural Dakota or Wyoming?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 08:35 AM PDT

I just want to get away from it all so Im thinking of moving to a small rural town in South Dakota or Wyoming. What should I know before I go, and should I do it in the first place?

Question: Spolied entitled kids?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 08:15 AM PDT

I don't see how it is my fault. My name is Kevin, I am 53. I have wanted my kids gone for 15 years, my son is 17 and my daughter is 18. I have been distancing myself from them for 10 years. I have allowed them to have very minimal contact with anyone from outside as I have had them in online schooling for 10 years. These kids are spolied rotten, they claim it is my job to take them to work if they apply to applications but no where in the law does it say that. We live off of a highway, my son and daughter are unable to walk as there are cars everywhere and no sidewalks or areas to walk on the side of the highway on. I did not teach my son and daughter how to drive at 15 and 16, and I am sure not going to start now. I have taken them before to apply for jobs, but no one hires them as they have no learners permit, no license and no car. They also have no money since they have never found a job yet because of this. Why do they claim it is "my" job to teach them to drive or drive them if they find a job? No where in the law does it say it is my job. It only says you have to feed and shelter them. I want to kick them out, or I would like for them to sneak out and never come back. I have wanted them gone for 15 years, my wife is on my side as I have ADHD as well as bipolar. I stopped celebrating my son and daughters birthdays when they were 8 and 9 year olds yet they're still spolied, even after they know I would and do beat them every time that they cry, laugh or speak to me. I have not allowed them to be around any outside person for 10 years, so I do not see why they are still entitled worthless brats. I don't want to help them, I shouldn't have to help them.

Question: My Dad refuses to help me with my anxiety. He ignores me when anxious. How do I change someone this ignorant and mean?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 08:00 AM PDT

It is not like when I was young and I asked the same question 100 times. But, my father will not discuss anxiety. He almost feels it is a self-inflicted choice like if I were a drug addict or something. I worry a lot and am in therapy but the therapist is not a loved one. It would be nice to have a loved one who could help. The same is true with any other negative emotion (my father will not discuss it). So my 2 questions are 1. How can I open my father's heart to being kind to a son with anxiety (helping out some). 2. What would make a 55 year old man so ignorant of negative emotions? Does it mean he does not have negative emotions?

Question: My brother is emotionally abusive to my elderly mother by ignoring her. Should I just ignore and avoid my brother from now on?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 07:57 AM PDT

He takes advantage of her and gets what he wants but otherwise is not there for her and ignores her. He has been this way his whole life even as a kid. He also gets mad when he doesn't get what he wants.

Question: My mother avoids a set of cousins because their father was not nice (her uncle). Is this prejudice as the children did nothing wrong?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 07:56 AM PDT

The uncle's children are very nice and my mother has even admitted to this times she has had to see them. However she does not want a relationship with them at all because their Dad, now deceased, was not nice. Also their mother, still living, did not condemn her husband. So with my mother not liking these people or liking but avoiding them, I wonder is this prejudice and unethical or do most of you do this also? Is this normal or is it prejudice? Carlos K----they are not my cousins, they are my mother's cousins. Also their father, her uncle, was the one who made the mistakes and he is dead now.

Question: My father is selfish and does not care for those in need, is this normal of middle aged men?

Question: What would you do if your boyfriend told you. You look disgusting and to lose weight?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 07:45 AM PDT

Let's say your dating a guy, he was nice at first but now he tells you how you need to lose weight and you look bad. Then he says he wants you to dye your hair and he doesn't like how you dress. He says he wants your butt bigger and suggested you getting butt injections, he shows you girls on the Internet that quote on quote look better then you. He says. Then he tells you that maybe if you weren't so fat and didn't have so much acne maybe we wouldn't have this problem. What would you do if your boyfriend treated you this way? Come on I never had a boyfriend.... I've been single all my 17 years of living

Question: Did this man ruin her life?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 07:14 AM PDT

Rachel is 17 and pregnant by a 27 year old man named Arthur. Arthur is her English teacher and they've been dating for one year before she got pregnant. Rachel's mother Tasheka always told Rachel she was ugly as ****, hideous, worthless, and reminded Rachel of all her short comings in life. Tasheka was a porn star for 20 years and recently discovered she has AIDS. Due to this Rachel hid the pregnancy from her mother for six months. Rachel ate healthy, took vitamins and drank a lot of water in an attempt to make sure the baby was healthy. ( it's too late to get an abortion) Arthur cried when he found out and finally the two of them went to the apartment to tell Tasheka. When Tasheka found out she hit Rachel and tried to kick her in the stomach. Arthur jumped in front of her. Tasheka picked up Arthur and threw him across the room. Then started to beat Rachel. Arthur jumps back up and the two start fist fighting. Tasheka body slams Arthur. Arthur screams with agony. Then A 15 year old girl named kayin runs in and starts fighting Tasheka. Arthur goes outside and calls the police. He vomits. Rachel cowers in the corner sobbing. Eventually Arthur cries as well. Did Arthur ruin Rachel's life? ( Rachel wanted to be a nurse) Is Arthur dumb to you?

Question: Girls who drive would you have done this?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 07:02 AM PDT

I just got back from taking my younger sister to her friends house. Since it was nice out and I did not get out of my car and was only gone for about a half a hour I drove barefoot and did not bother to bring shoes with me.

Question: Is what my mom said about Aspergers true?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 06:57 AM PDT

I have Aspergers so I tend to be stubborn and too narrow minded in interpreting what people are saying at times. Anyways, I overheard her scolding my younger brother and using me as an example by saying that there was "something wrong" with me in the head and that I had mental problems and that's why she's "given up" on helping me. Maybe this was so shocking since I always thought of myself as normal, save when I'm in public since I'm really awkward but nothing what anyone would call unusual. The only reason I heard her was because my door was open, but she also says the same things about my dad who also has Aspergers. Whenever she gets angry she always insults me by saying that I'm an idiot because I have Aspergers. I didn't do well in high school since I wasn't allowed to switch to physics from biology (i'm taking a gap year right now) and I didn't get accepted to the University I want so I'm taking another year to reapply through CC. She wants me to go to a German University but since I don't speak German I don't find it plausible and she uses my skepticism as another example of "Aspergers" stubbornness and says my Dad has no life and is exactly like me and that I'll be exactly like him (he is a security guard) doing nothing for the rest of my life. Normally I wouldn't care if anyone said it but being that it's coming from my mom, it hurts my feelings and I feel like a liability. Is what she's saying true?

Question: Is my mother emotionally abusive?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 06:48 AM PDT

I've been thinking about a lot about my mother and the impact she has had on my life. Throughout my life, I have been underneath her control. She told me how to act, how to dress, and even what religion to follow. She was so controlling over me that even when I was in middle school, she would ask her friends who worked there to practically spy on me. Things I did that I never showed my mother, she mysteriously found out. And what made me feel even more paranoid about her was the fact that she didn't hide it. She told me she had people watching me, but refused to tell me who. Then there is me now as an adult. She constantly puts me down. Always treating me like I'm stupid if I don't know how to do something that is basic to her. She expects me to know things, and when I tell her that she never taught me, she gets all defensive saying, "Oh, so it's my fault?" I can never bring up an issue with her or she'll ask this question. As if she has no faults. She tells me she's not perfect but the second you point out a flaw with her, she'll break down and make you feel guilty about it. That, or she'll target your intelligence, telling you that you're immature. She even told me to go into my "adult mind" even when I'm in my 20s. If I have plans for the future, she'll ask me a million questions till I feel anxious (I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder) and not want to answer or think anymore. Because of this, it's hard for me to believe that I'll ever fall in love or be successful.

Question: Am I spoiled/rich if my grandparents buy me things on certain occasions?

Posted: 30 Oct 2016 06:47 AM PDT

My dad is poor and when I was with my mom we were really poor (sorry mom) and my grandmother teaches me life lessons of stuff that I should work hard for this and that even though it was just for school clothes. I asked her if I get good grades can I get $100 shoes every 3 months since I don't got many shoes and don't want to be made fun of wearing everyday shoes. All I really get is stuff I need on just regular days and stuff I want on like Christmas, etc.. And that is like a PS4 or a regular watch or something related what a 13 year old gets like me. I only got 1 pajama shirt 2 pajama pants and that I got for Christmas. I lost 1 pajama shirt. But the question I am asking am I spoiled or rich, I think I am poor because my grandparents have to cover my dad with the retirement money they have I guess, my dad told me that (he never told me they were poor when he was a kid) when I ask him things that I want to get he always tells me that he never got this and that or that him and his brother slept in 1 bed together and his oldest brother slept in another room. Btw I got shoes and I have an iphone 6s plus, but that was from my grandparents/dad splitting it or something, and me and my sister got it a year seperate. I never act spoiled. But the question I am asking am I spoiled?
