This probably sounds petty, but I just want some opinions on this. I was watching tv and my mom came home and took out the movie that I was watching, and put in a movie that she wanted to watch. Without asking me. So I told her that what she did was rude, because I was watching a movie and she just comes and takes it out. Then she told me that I have no right to tell her what to do because I'm only a child. I'm 18.

Like if a family member on my Mom's side dies and I go to the funeral but many of my cousin's don't so they gang up on me for attending since it looks weird. What do I do? My parents leave town in three weeks for two weeks and a great-uncle is ill. It is one I don't know that well but out of respect I'd go to the funeral if he dies. My Mom's family might gang up on me. I am scared of them.

My big brother and I were play wrestling; and, he got an erection during it. He's not a perv or anything so why? I'm his sister not a girlfriend

Okay, so today I got a notification of my credit card being used on the iTunes Store, I automatically knew it was my younger brother because of the things being purchased. When I asked him that if he bought something online he denied it. So I acted like if someone had stolen my credit card information and I told him that I was going to the police and file a police report I was like "I can't wait for the police to catch this criminal and put him in jail" that's when he came clean about what he had done. I don't mind buying him stuff but he needs to ask for permission first. Do you think I went too far? Thanks!

My father is deceased now and my parents divorced in 1989 (actually divorced come 1991). I was 8 at the time and my Dad remarried. It was my mother that filed for the divorce but my Dad had drinking problems he later recovered from (though he had a few relapses). Long story short he remarried come 1998 and I started doing a lot more with him as I was old enough to define my relationship with him and got close. My mother got very resentful of this. She insisted he didn't love me like a Dad should even though he might like me. So now he has died (he died two years ago in 2014). I still go see my step-mother and my Dad's two step-kids who my mother claimed he loved more then his own two kids (this always hurt me for her to make up). My mother stopped being as hateful about ten years ago but she shifted her anger to my step-mother. She resents me seeing my step-mother. I try to keep it a secret I see my step-mother but my mother is often able to tell when I am not saying what I am up to. I see the step-mother about once a month. How can I get my mother over all this? She is the one who divorced my Dad due to his drinking. I'd suggest counseling but last time she went that counselor (she claims) told her to get a divorce and keep me and my sister away from our Dad. My mother's Dad was a severe alcoholic (died when I was a newborn) so she has a lot of bitterness over the disease. However, she was very merciful when her nephew battled drug addiction (he recovered).

I am 13 and I want my dad to let me shower with him and to let me wash his penis because he has trouble sometimes doing that and I would like to help him.

I want to sleep naked with my dad because I want to hang out with him comfortably. But I don't know how to ask him.

(Before you reply, I'm gonna tell you that it was an online gift. So, I can't sell it or anything like that.) I didn't like it, so I want a different present. (It's cheaper)

Hello everyone, I'm a young guy in my early 20s who lives at home with his mom. I have a job and go to college. Recently, my mom and I got into a very heated argument and she is kicking me out at the end of February. I live in NYC and I barely make enough money to survive on my own here. By the end of February I will have $3000 saved up in cash. There is no she'll take me back, I have to go solo. I don't have friends or distant family who could help. I'm going to have to drop college and work and save as much as I can. I want to join the marinee but I'm 20lbs overweight. Another option is to move down south and get any job that comes my way. Any tips on how to survive this. I'm currently only paying for my phone bill which is a lot. Should I cancel it or pay it off now? I have no work experience either. How can I get a job in a new town? This is going to inevitably happen. How should I prepare now?

I know ideally he'd get help but what is wrong with being compassionate?

He lectures me not to drink when I am 21, legally can, and he is drunk ALL THE TIME!

Hello. To start it off, my mom has a cycle when i do/say something she doesn't like. This has been happening for years. She'll get mad that night, wake me up in the morning when she knows I have to be somewhere in an hour and be like "wake up. So much to do so little time!!!!" And yell at me from downstairs. Then get mad that I didn't have time to do stuff when she knows I had to leave? Then I'll leave and she'll spam text me ridiculous things like "what about my feelings?" "Have a great day thinking I've done something wrong to you!!" For instance, she hurt my boyfriends feelings from saying something a little out of line a few weeks ago and I confronted her. She got mad that I didn't bring it up until now and started to bring up everything I've done to her. And again, wakes me up in the morning to yell at me. Spam texts me when I leave. "What about my feelings" "what about all the times you've hurt MY feelings" She never says sorry, she just wants to point out what I've done wrong. She makes me feel bad for spending time with people. She always convinces me somehow that every problem we have is my fault My dad passed away a few years ago. Maybe that has something to do with everything. She wants to come before anything and everything in my life. She yells at me like "oh why does nobody help me" and whenever I'm upset with her it's... "I'm such a HORRIBLE mother" "why do you think so poorly of me" My question is, is she emotionally abusive? If so, how do I deal with it

Ok the reason why I'm asking on here is because if I ask her I could see her getting mad and asking what I did wrong blah blah blah not just asking but it would be in a mean tone. She is so negative everyday it actually gets to me I don't even sleep well anymore most of my problems are family problems I feel like that's what's affecting my body but it's not just her it's my brother.

My boyfriend and I had an argument. It was about moving to a different state. Anyways at a point he started being unresponsive which made me feel upset so I began throwing his clothes, pillows, sheets and towels on the floor. Childish, I know. Anger is one crazy *****. Well his mom heard us fighting and came to check since my son was in the room. He is 8 months old. He was sleeping and I was holding him the majority of the time as he slept and sitting on the edge of the bed. Whatever clothes and bedding I got ahold of was near enough for me to grab. No one was hit or hurt including myself. So she comes in and tells us we need to work it out but she keeps coming in and out and at this point he is pinning the blame on me. I start telling her its not only me it is also him. Well after that his mother's girlfriend comes in the room saying all this crap to me so I cursed her out and told her to mind her business. She said she pays rent blahblahblah and I said well these two say you dont pay for **** or do **** in this house so get out of my face you fat *****. After that she threatened to have someone beat me up. Mind you this is an old lady. No one defended me from these threats so I told her I would have someone do the same to her if that's where she wanted things to go.

He is going to be driving in a year and has always wanted a car and to drive. His grandparents already told them they were going to buy him his own car. I told them now way because he isn't mature enough nor has he done anything to earn the privilege to have one. This made me the bad guy (again). I can just see what's going to happen since I have had a pattern of them undermining me as a parent. Despite the fact I said no car, they are going to buy themselves a "spare car" and keep it in their driveway and anytime he wants to drive he is going to walk to their house and take the car. And so the cycle continues. I can't move away because of my job and I hate to disrupt their schooling with a move far away. Does this qualify for a no contact order? You're right. A lawyer may be in order but I was hoping to avoid lawyers. Don't ever say I haven't set boundaries with them. I set boundaries and they find a way around it. Example. I say I say no video games until his grades are better so they buy one for him but keep it at their house and I don't find out about it until much later etc. Don't ever say I haven't set boundaries with them. I set boundaries and they find a way around it. Example. I say I say no video games until his grades are better so they buy one for him but keep it at their house and I don't find out about it until much later etc. I've put a serious NO on this but I just know how they operate and will go behind my back. I do regret not moving when the kids were little because I thought it would be good for them to live close to family. Pearl you are way out of line with that answer. I'm the parent, I'm not rolling over and giving into them. I know what's best for him and spoiling him is not the best option for him. Especially when his attitude is terrible he shouldn't be rewarded with a car. KLM- your daughter, yep I would be mad too unless she was over 18 in which you can't do much about it. But still they should discuss such a thing with you. But if they buy a car and keep it at their house and let him drive it anytime he wants what can I do? If they buy it store it and maintain it that is their business. But it will be in essence my son's car that he will drive. It hasn't happened yet but I see it coming. They look for loopholes.

Last sunday i met my little cousin at our grandparents' house. I'm 16 and he's 12 almost 13. i hate wearing shoes so i stay always barefoot at home. my cousin noticed that his feet seemed to be adult feet compared to a kid feet. he told me he has a size 12 shoes while i'm only a size 7. he was really curious to compare our feet sole to sole so we did it. it's been very embarassing: my big toes was as big as his littler.. he started laughing and pushing up his giant feet on mine.. everyone has had similari experience?

My family always thinks i have an evil intention whenever i do anything. When i argue with my brother, he starts it yet it feels like my parents only focus on MY reply when i call him names. It s like they didn t even hear him start the argument. Just a few minutes ago, my mom was telling me something and I listened intently while looking at her, then she suddenly stopped talking and said, "Don t give me that look." I can swear I was looking at her normally like any other kid when listening to their parents.

I can pay for them myself, but I cannot legally buy them, my dad is an ex-smoker and my mom is a heavy smoker, I started smoking about 3 years ago (I'm 15) but some jerk just stole 2 full packs from my jacket and now I have none, I feel horrible both mentally and physically. Even being able to convince my mom to give me a couple of her cigarettes as a day would be helpful. And I really don't feel like paying 10€ for a single pack. Also I don't care if smoking is bad for me, it's my decision so don't come here being all smug about not smoking, I don't care and I will report every single answer that does not answer my question

It might be a little weird but no laws are broken, accept everyone!

Everything she ever says is a complaint. She complains about her boss. Then she gets a new job. She complains about her co workers. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer so I try to be as nice as a can. I wait on her HAND AND FOOT. And she answers back SOOOOO MEAN!!!!!! All I do is tell her how much I love her. I treat her like an angel when she acts like a freakin demon. She s always yelling at me for no reason. She HATES ME!!!! I do everything I can to be the best and all she does is hate me. I HATE HER SO MUCH!!!!! I HARE HER WITH ALL MY GUTS!!!!!! I HATE HER!!! I want to move away and never come back. I want to tell her how much I hate her and that I never want to see her again. She s a work of Satan. And I hate her.

21 year old sister left long pages explaining why she hates us all apart from our dad and told my mother to rot and die and that she's never coming back. BASICALLY: Mother abused 21 y/o sister, sister hates mother. Mother is a narcissistic psycho. Mother hit us all sometimes but never our 23 y/o brother. Mother locked sister indoors growing up apart from school. Sister never had a life. Sister developed depression &anxiety &has 0 friends. My youngest sister (17) and I (19) became close, and didn't like our sister, bullied her. We regret it and are sorry. But mother is not sorry but is crying/screaming b/c sister left home. Brother doesn't care about any of it. Dad didn't know much about my mother b/c she acts so innocent in front of him and he's comes home late. Dad agrees with sister that she can move out &sent couple £k her way. She was always his favourite &he calls her princess. Mother got mad. They are fighting. Now what do I do? To make it better? Our sister left and we want her to come back home. I told her I was so sorry. She threatened to call the police if I call her again. We are a traditional family and don't move out until we have a stable job and settle down. Sister has left shame on our family. Correction: Mother USED TO hit us all sometimes. USED TO abuse sister. My mother, sister and I are quite close now and I want to support my mother through this. I know she has her issues but she's our mother.

Why is that my parents always comparing us to other people? Like, some of us don't wanna go to school, because we can't or have no motivation to finish college. They always complaining how some of our cousins and uncles have finished college with master degrees and other crap. And yeah, so what? Everybody is different from one another. Not every single person in the world is going to college or whatever. They need to understand that people are different. Plus, they ALWAYS complain about every single thing. Monday-Sunday. Its at least complaining 3-5 times a day. -.-'

I have always had chores for my child. She has been folding laundry and doing dishes since she could reach the sink. My ex has a different idea, no chores. None ever. Now that she is a teen, I have her doing things that he never does like drying her own hair with a hairbrush. Right now, she is in the bathroom screaming "It's too hard, dad never makes me do this! You're MEAN!" I am ignoring it because I refuse to get into a power struggle. Also, this morning, she wanted an apple and I told her to wash it off (the white wax). She cried and said "I can't you need to do it for me!". I did sit her down and explain I am trying to help her be more self-sufficient. She wants a cell phone, wants to walk through town alone, and wants a boyfriend but can't even dry her own hair. Please don't tell me to talk to her father. I have tried and he just does everything for her including picking out her own clothes in the morning. Why would a teen like this coddling?

so my older brother by 6 yrs got in my face this morning yelling at me. so I pushed him then wrestled him to the ground. of course I was on top because I'm stronger than that pvssy.

I'll make this as short as i can to save time. My mum and dad are booking a 2 week holiday to one of the greek islands in a couple of months. They want to take me and my cousin with them. I've become resentful towards my cousin because my mum has always favoured her over me. (My dad is pretty neutral on it but i sometimes wish he'd speak up when my mum is being painfully obvious about it). I dont want to go with them for many reasons. I have to buy more chest binders that will inevitably cause chafing in the water, i have to share a room with my cousin and i cant cope without internet and my computer. I'm 14 and my mum refuses to let me stay home alone for 2 weeks. i'm not spending the 2 weeks with family because to be quite ******* honest i hate them all. Unfortunately i dont have any friends either and i dont know what to do. god i sound like such a brat here... **** it, i need answers guys.

I bought 2 mc chickens and my mom only lets me have one....i feel so dirty.

We are married for 1.5 years. My husbands father is a drug dealer and he get caught and now probably will be sentenced to 10 years in prison. My husband has a big family and now they dont know what to do, how to cope with finances etc. My husband wants to take the all responsibilty to take care of them, he even gave our last money to them, He doesnt talk to me anymore much, like im nothing. I told him that it isnt my fault it happened and he keeps saying that i only cause drama, i dont give him peace. when in reality i wanna be with him. He doest kiss me or hug me. Does everything has to be bad between us because his dad is going to jail? I dont understand that. I dont mind he will help his mother, sister adn brother who are in their 20s, they live with parents but we have a family too. I want children too, i wanna make something for us not to be always there for his family. Im so confused and i dont know what to do. Please help me, because its ridiciolous how he is against me now like im nothing and his family is top priority. His brother is 20 and goes to university and sistesis 23, she only rides horses and doesnt go to work. His brother is 20 and goes to university and sistesis 23, she only rides horses and doesnt go to work.

My little sister is crying because she watched a scary movie before bed. I can't tell her it was a just a movie because it was true she knows it was. She loves scary movies but she doesn't like it when they actually show killing which is what they did. She wanted to watch it. She didn't know they would show it. She's freaking out she can't get back to sleep. How can I comfort her ?

I don't mean life decisions but things like where to go for Thanksgiving or whether to speak to the aunt people are on bad terms with in my Mom's family. For example, I wanted to go away for Thanksgiving because the holidays cause me anxiety and my mother and my maternal grandmother gave me endless grief for leaving them at the holiday so I backed out and came and had an unpleasant day but put on a smile. Christmas was better. I have a lot of unresolved feelings from my parents divorce so family holidays are toxic as they used to be about Mom keeping me from Dad to use me as a tool against him. Now that doesn't go on but my mother is still passive aggressive. So at age 32 can they still direct me and if the answer is no how do I kindly get them not to. My grandmother is harder to hurt since she is not a parent, she doesn't have to love me but chooses to. However they have no recognition that I have a father and his family also, they feel they are the only true family and their families. Even the week my paternal grandmother died I got grief from my Mom because I was with my Dad and his family and not helping my Mom who had a flu that week.

Yesterday she said if I wake up later than quarter past 7 I won't be allowed to eat breakfast! Sending your starving kid to school is cruel! I'm also not allowed to give to homeless people. She says they would actually get jobs if they wanted homes. Is that basically calling them trash? This is not the first time she's done stuff like this. Ages ago she sold all my clothes and only gave me a quarter of the money 'cuz it was 'her idea'. I don't wanna sound bratty but how do I escape? I really don't wanna sound bratty, even though she called me spoilt all my life. She also said I'm not good enough to even audition for acting roles.

My whole family favored my sister more than be because she is more outgoing than me. She is 1 year older than me. And now I feel like she loves me but nowhere near how much she loves my sister. I go to a community college so I m at home everyday and my sister goes to a university 4 hours away. I just feel like I m less important to her. Like for instance I ll tell her that I made an A on my math test and she ll tell me good job. But if my sister calls and says she going to join a club at her school my mom gets completely happy and brags on my sister to everybody she can. And then when my sister comes home for a couple of days she treats her like she is the best person in the whole world. I try to join in on their conversations but I just feel like I don t belong. Also my sister is currently loosing weight because she s working out. And my mom just keeps bragging about how good my sister looks and then she ll look at me and say "you need to loose weight". It honestly hurts my feelings I know I need to loose weight but dang. She will buy my sister anything but complains when I ask her for gas money. She is always finding a reason to be mad at me. All I ask for from her is gas money and food. I don t even ask for clothes. I m 18 btw and my sister is 19. I m thinking about running away for a couple days to see my boyfriend long distance boyfriend. We ve been talking for a year and he wants me to come see him. Any thoughts? Please don t be rude

My dad has high blood pressure and takes medication for it. Now and then he tries to guilt trip us about having high blood pressure, overreacting when he's feeling sick (he literally forces himself to make weird shivering breathing noises). Anyway, he's very short tempered and abused us when we were younger, so though we aren't entirely afraid of him, he WILL start shouting at us any time we say ANYTHING he doesn't like. My mum has made it clear and confronted him several times about him having an addiction to red bull. He used to be addicted to another Korean energy drink but he'd make the excuse "I've had it since childhood so it's basically harmless". He criticises us for eating unhealthy (e.g. cup noodles, fast food, etc) though we don't have it on a regular basis, and every time we have lunch with him, he always chooses fast food. He also criticises me on my "addictions" - a cordial that is literally fermented milk and only drunk because I have a dehydration problem from disliking water, and frozen raspberries. I then confronted him about his redbull addiction (He literally has 5 packs of 4 at home, and 4 in his car). He then said it wasn't an addiction and opened the window so he wouldn't be able to hear me. It's frustrating as f*ck honestly, how can I stop him?

So my sister's boy friend is annoying. He would stare at other girls when in public, my sis noticed and told him it was rude so he stopped. My parents bought a home, we are renting one as well. My sister goes to his house and stays one weekend and the other he comes over and stays. My sis, and my bro and his gf live there, they pay for staying at the house my mom bought, but my sister's bf doesn't. My brother and sister struggle with parking cuz it gets full, while they both are struggling, my sister's bf is happily parked in our garage. His car is nice, but it doesn't work that well. He would wait until my moms car leaves so he can park in there. He acts as if it was his house. Worst of all during the holidays, he would come over and enjoy our authentic food, and he never brings us food (his parents are middle east). He also says stuff to sound smart, but he just says basic things that everyone knows. I had to stop telling my sister things because then she goes and tells him (not personal or bad things). It was my brothers birthday and my sis invited him over then he said "it would be alot to go back home and pack all my stuff" and I was like "who told him that he will stay over, just because we invited him, doesn't mean he needs to stay over."

My mom died 6 months ago and literally a month later my dad dated over 20 women and told me "it's like she's been dead for years." Not even kidding. Now he has 2 specific women hes dating and one of them is "getting serious" and he wants me to meet her. Now I'm 21 I understand I don't have to meet her but I AM LIVING IN HIS HOUSE AND I DONT HAVE ENOUGH SALARY TO LIVE ALONE. I need to get the **** out of this hell hole but until then I HAVE NO ******* CHOICE. **** this guy. I ******* can't stand it. He keeps talking $h*t about my dead mom to me saying "she never really was a wife to me anyway" and sh** WHAT THE ****!???? I'm no way meeting that lady. Not after what my dad is saying about my mom TO EVERYBODY INCLUDING HER, and the fact that she "agrees" like my dad said. But what if he brings her to the house? It's literally 3am and he was supposed to come home and help me fix my car by 7pm. I called because i was worried and he was all like ohhh sorry i fell asleep. Fell asleep? ***** you left at 3 in the afternoon for a dinner you shouldnt have told me you'd be back by 7 or else i wouldn't have waited for you. Please tell me how the **** i can avoid seeing this *****. Please. Just until i can get out of this hellhole by next year

My mom always blames everything on me. Earlier tonight my little sister had 2 friends over and one of them made a joke that my little sister didn't find funny so she started yelling at crying. (She has bad anger issues) and so i told my sister that it was a joke and she screamed at me so I yelled at her and then my mom got mad at ME. She told me that everything is always my fault and that she wants me to go live with my dad. She never gets mad at my sister for her anger problems or temper tantrums and it's always my fault. Last week she did the same type of thing and stopped making dinner for a few nights and I had to find my own food. My mom just keeps telling me how everything is my fault and she gets mad at everything I do. She punishes me for things my SISTER does that don't even INCLUDE ME at all!! What do I do about this?

So I was looking in my mom's room because she told me to look for a flashlight in there and I found a dildo vibrator, flashlight, and another wired thing... She is EXTREMELY religious... I don't know how to speak to her now cause she bugs me all the time asking me if I'm watching porn

My relationship is ending and I am having doubts about keeping our second child. I believe the pregnancy is a main problem in our relationship and if I am going to do something drastic as abort our child so we stop arguing then I will not stay in this relationship at all. So it's going to end either way but should it end with one child or two?

I'm not even allowed to go out with friends or even just take a walk. It really bothers me. I feel as if I've been grounded my entire life, though I'm allowed to do mostly what i want as long as i don't leave the house (i even have to ask to sit on the porch). It makes them angry when i tell them that I'm not happy with this, but I'm feeling depressed, hopeless, and like life has no meaning about my situation. What can i do? My mom and dad said they'll never talk to me again if i move out now. I didn't even talk angry at them I asked and sat down nicely and they still said no. I feel like they want me to stay until I'm 30 or something and waste my whole life and it make me feel like there is no point in living. I love my family and i just want us all to be happy but I can't stay around no more I feel like a slave. What do I do

Okay so here's what happened well I asked her nicely if I could borrow her charger for a while since we have the same phones but she said I couldn't just because her charger is messing up but she said the same thing about her headphones when I needed to borrow them yet I let her borrow my Bluetooth headphones and she let her friend borrow her headphones when her friend needed it yet I always let her use my Xbox and she uses my sweater without permission should I understand her reasons or is she just being selfish?

Ever since I was young I was always like "less prettier" child out of me and my sister it didn't really bother me back then but as we got older it kinda did , my sister is super beautiful she has always been the prettier sister , and me on the other hand I wouldn't call myself ugly or neither would I call myself beautiful , when me in my sister are out together people will always stop her trying to get her number or telling her she's extremely beuatfiul and I can't help but envy her a little, I don't think my outer appearance is amazing but I have a kind heart. I know this might be stupid but it kinda sucks being known as the less attractive sister it kinda makes you feel invisible it seems like things come so much easier to you when your pretty.

Our son is 21 and never had a job, and has some problems, but everyone does, and his are petty minor compared to most people. Even people with way worse problems make it on their own everyday their whole lives. Our son lacks life experience, and my wife (yes his mom, we're both his biological parents) just wants to baby him and take care of him forever, instead of allowing him to learn about life and become a man. I love my son, and I want him to become a man, I'll even take him to a prostitute if he wants (he actually told me he's a virgin, but I'm not going to be one of those dads who forces him to lose it to a prostitute). Does losing your virginity make you a man? No, but it is one of the rights of passage to becoming a real man. My son tried to join the US military and the Peace Corps, but both told him he was unqualified due to medical reasons (just taking any kind of prescription medication disqualifies you!). I love my son, but I am NOT willing to take care of him his whole life, and I believe he can take care of himself, if he just gets the life experience, which my wife tries to prevent. I can't even believe what I am hearing, taking custody of a grown *** man? Yes, I know he hasn't reached all the rights of passage, but he is legally an adult, he's 21 goddamn years old. He's not a retard (no offense) or a vegetable, and even if he was it's just sad to think that you need the government to grant you custody, when you can just support and take care of your child as a LOVING, WILLING PARENT! And I know this might sound bad, but even if my child WAS severely disabled, I shouldn't be LEGALLY OBLIGATED OR REQUIRED to continue taking care of my child past the age of 18, I'm not saying that I wouldn't, I'm just saying that I shouldn't HAVE to.

Me and my mom's relationship has been a rocky road. I suffer with a mental health disorder called pure ocd. I often obsess over things people say. Often they are trivial and unimportant, but this time she really hurt me. I'm a junior in high school and just started a new semester. My mom repeatedly asked me who I would sit with after I told her I met this girl(il call her sally)who seemed nice and sat with her. I asked her why she kept questioning me and she said because she worries about me in school because she knows I'm depressed a lot and wanted to make sure I liked who I sat by cuz it's my favorite part of the day. The next day, I sat with a different girl that I liked better than sally because she was rlly weird honestly. I told my mom this. I also brought up how it was silly for her to say she wanted to make sure I liked who I ate with with when I told her originally I liked Sally. I said how I had nice options on my first day, some of my other friends were there too. She said, not really, considering you sat with someone else on ur second day. I was like, what? Why is she trying to prove to me that I basically had no good friends at my lunch when she knows how insecure I am?

Betty (grandmother) has had custody for over 2 years... she Will not let me see tori (my sister) because of something my dad did (I think. I have no idea. She won t even tell me what I did wrong) and that s not fair to me or my sister. I only get to see tori when I run into her around town or something. Something completly ny accident. Because if betty knows I m going somehwere she Will male sure tori is nowhere around. And toros mother even agrees with me. That she needs me In her life. And that I need her. I just don t kniw what I can do. I m conpletly out of options

Please help, I am serious and this is not a sexist joke. She has disowned her brother's wife. She is always putting down my Dad (WHO SHE IS MARRIED TO)!!! She picks fights and is suddenly arguing with her Mom like a teen. She is not wanting to go to family events, even had us miss Christmas and made us go to beach instead. She will get mad at my Dad for no reason, just to get mad. I am not sexist but I was told by my Dad it is menopause and he says it will pass but how the hell do we survive the next five years or so? This is hell, seriously.

My mom's brother in law passed away and so my parents want to go to South Korea to go to his funeral and help my aunt out. My mom told me I can stay at her friend's house for two weeks or so and she would help out with taking me to school and all that stuff. I am also extremely in grief, but I feel like this is too extreme. I am a high school student that has lots of tests and hw and being in another house during next week would be terrible in that I have three tests. My brother is in elementary school and would need to be taken to school by my mom's friend. Additionally, we recently got a puppy so my mom's friend would have to take care of him when we're gone and I would have to wake up early to take him outside and stuff. I understand that she's in grief but her method seems crazy to me.

Neither is parent child but aunt-niece. Only difference is the aunt is more charitable.

She says if I go to Al-Anon / Alateen then people at school will know. I guess she is right. What do I do as no one understands and they say leave him or others say "just pretend he doesn't do it". I would never leave him but I have hurt feelings and can't tell anyone as my Mom says I can't talk about it to anyone.

I'm 14. Before Christmas I swiped some stuff at a store and got busted. They called the cops and the cops took me home. I was going to have to go to court over it but my dad talked to the store manager and promised them personally that it would not happen again and he got them to drop the charges. He told me not to think I got off scott free because actions have consequences and he was sending me to military school. i was like he's just trying to scare me. no way he was sending me to military school. this isn't malcolm in the middle. well today he got the letter and i'm in the school for next school year. so I haven't gotten into trouble at all since then. I know what i did was bad. I told him i'll never steal again. i begged him not to make me go but he said this is not open for discussion and that if they would have taken me in the middle of the year I'd be there now. how do I make him change his mind? Don't tell me to ask my mom because she died when I was six. My older bro said that when dad's made his mind up it'll only make him mad to try to talk him out of it. What can I do though?

Every time I wanted to accomplish something they wouldn't let me. Like learning an instrument? My mom told me I wouldn't be able to learn (meaning I'm too dumb) and said no. Btw my brother knows many different instruments and they encouraged him. They taught him how to ride a bike but never taught me and i learned myself when I was 13. Also first job i got (paper route, easy first job for a 14 year old) they made me call back and say I can't do it. My dad also has a business and I'm supposed to be working for him but barely gives me work even if I ask but gives my brother enough work. These are just a few examples but am I overreacting? Or is it not fair?

Is this a harmless crush that my brother has on his friend's little sister Claudia? Matthew and him are in 4th grade while Claudia is in 3rd grade but she just turned 8. I don't see anything wrong with him liking her cause she is very pretty.......but! The issue is he may not be attacted to her long blond hair! What happen is a few days ago is her Mother was a dumbshit when Claudia was in the middle of getting a spanking. Claudia belongs to a youth swim club so a great many times my brother has seen her in a bikini bottom. So when he needed to get his jacket which was in another room they thought it was not a big deal if he happen to see her laying across her Father's lap with her school skirt off. Her Father had stopped spanking til Matthew went home with his jacket. . The Mother must think that a swimsuit "panty" is the same as her sheer white underwear panty. So now my brother has interest in seeing her in her underpants! Is this the likely reason now he seems to have a bigger crush on Claudia?

my mom has serious issues but she is not innocent. i literally hate her 1/3 of the time. she depresses me and i want to kill myself sometimes. my moms like been diagnosed as bipolar and has ocd (my sister also had ocd). one specific thing that i am especially mad about is that she takes all my stuff and "donates it". she lies and starts yelling like a switch was flipped in her brain when i get mad at her. like i get mad, but she gets enraged. i can't handle it, I'm really young, 13, and she makes me crazy. hear are some things she's "donated": my whole entire nail polish collection, my dad's $100 bike light, which she claimed she "didn't know what it was and donated it", 10 of my lush products, shirts, jewelry, etc. just all these things. She claimed she donated this one soap i got from lush even though it didn't even have a wrap or cover on it. She "DONATED IT"!! like i don't believe that for a second. she just bs's me all the time. she also claimed she donated my dad's bike light even though she didn't know what it was. She is lying!!! my dad charges it in the wall all the time and knows he uses it for his bike. if she didn't know what it was, why would she donate it. she always takes everybodys things. they are not hers, she doesn't even have a job, and she just throws money away like crazy. I'm not describing my situation very good, but please understand this is a serious problem for me and i really need advice. I'm going crazy
