I just got home from picking up my daughter at her friends house. Since it was hot out and I did not go in anyplace and came right back home I drove in my bare feet and did not bring my shoes.

I have cousin that my sister had big with he and my family member hate as well but this cousin was very important to me and she was close to me then my sisters. Do I leave her or I still continue my friendship with her? There is a big problem that happened between my sister and cousin which lead my family and her family dislike each other. The thing is that my cousin is blaming my sister in a problem she did, which made my family member angry from her. This cousin is a sister to me, my sister did not stand with me as much as she did. I do not know what to do, do I stay with her or do I leave her for my family that does not mean much to me?

In the morning today, she told me to have a shower and I said ''I'll have one in the night, after I have dinner so I could go to sleep feeling fresh.'' She AGREED to my compromise and said that it was totally okay. at 7:45 today, she called me again. ''You can have a shower now!'' I screamed back ''I told you, after dinner!'' Then she started to lose her mind, when she called me down for dinner, I started to eat my food, but she then LOST IT and started saying things like ''Why are you NEVER doing as I say?'' ''You are never following your parents.'' ''You don't care about me! ''When you want something, I try my best to get it, but when I ask you for something, you only CARE ABOUT YOURSELF.'' ''I'm going to go live with my sister in another country, SO YOU WILL NEVER BE THE REASON WHY I'M STRESSED AND UPSET AGAIN.'' And I start to cry because obviously, I would feel upset about it. she screamed ''WHY ARE YOU CRYING?THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.''Yes, I answer back, but in a way that tells her that I'm sorry. We have huge arguments like this at least 3 times a month, and I always feel depressed after them because she tells me that I'm useless and I never do anything, not directly, but behind the words she tells me, I can hear it. I'm 13 and I'm getting more depressed every day because of this, I don't know what to do to make her happy now because everything I do there's some flaw that makes what I just did terrible.

I am 20 years old, my entire family smokes weed and drinks, except for me and my grandparents. They all have a noticeable criminal record except me and my grandparents. I love them but they worry me. I'm working to become a police officer, that's my dream job, I'm just afraid that being around my family may put a bad image on me. I would move out but I'm way too broke and need my money for college. I'm scared. Am I worrying to much? Anyway to help my worries? (And no, I will not smoke or drink!) Thank you.

I have a step sibling who literally can sleep all day. He relies on our parents to get him up all the time for school, work or whatever the occasion is. Hes very lazy. I dont mean to sound like a narcissist, but i start my days very early. 4 AM, i hit the gym, go to school, and head off to work. Well, my step brother relys on people to drive him to work i was the only one home yesterday to take him to work. His shift started at 4PM and I wasnt going to wake him up, as much as i love him, im not responsible for his job, (he fell asleep after school). I came home from work yesterday and my parents told me that his job fired him. They dont care but he is devistated and I guess was crying. Does this make me look bad? What would you do in my situation ?

My dad left when I was 2. He cheated on my mom several times and came to see my and my brother like once every 2-3 years. Havent seen him in 6 years, and Im now 21. He hasnt paid any child support and both me and my brother are both in advanced programs of university. He hides all his assets and information... my mom tried to sue him a few years back for not paying child support, but he made himself look super poor on paper, EVEN though i KNOW he is financially capapble - he has a new family and a new kid. I dont know where he lives or what he does for a living, but Ive seen photos of their house and its massive with luxury cars. Its really bothering me the way he has gotten away with this. I want to take the child support to help my brother still school (that he owes us), so how do I go about doing it if I cant find him? I know for a fact he lives in Missisauga, so i have the city.

Hello guys, my name is João Paulo and I'm 20 years old and today I'd like to talk a little bit about what's happening to my personal life and I want some opinions about it if you're willing and available to answer them. Well, I'm currently living in Brazil and I was born here as well, however I live in a small town which is situated in the state of São Paulo in the countryside and there aren't very opportunities around here so I wanted to move to my dad's town which is kind of 70 miles away from here, it obviously has more resources when it comes down to work and the educational system. However, my father is a very complicated person to deal with, but he's got a good heart, the town I'm living in doesn't have jobs or all those benefits we usually use to have and that's the main thing, I'm kind of scaried with that idea . What do you guys think about it ? Obs: I'm planning to live abroad here one year and a half.

I'm 33 living at home currently. I have a boyfriend but he is no good for me and very toxic doesn't have empathy etc I'm convinced he is a narcissit. Anyway, I'm in a depression recovere from benzo withdrawal. ym mother is upset because shes mad I'm 33 living at home and haven't married or had children yet and she reminds me everyday of this. I stay with my boyfriend simply to get away from my mom even though I know its no good for me. I don't know what to do right now. living with my mom is impossible because she yells at me and doesn't give me a life I have to ask her to do everything etc. what do I do?? I'm also currently trying to go back to school and go back to the gym to get in better shape because I spent the last 6 months eating fast food smoking and not working out. help what do I do first? Is there still hope for me??

My grandmother has been sending my parents money to help the family for years and recently has grown fed u with the fact that they haven't been spending it the way she intended them to. Instead of buying new clothes for the kids and paying for things like school supplies, the kids have been going without and my parents have been spending the money treating themselves. so my grandma called me an explained all of this and told me tat she was fed up with them and that she wanted to give the money that she would normally be giving my mom, to be to make sure the kids get new clothes and shoes and stuff. I have been stressing about it even since because I feel like its a huge responsibility, and my mom will probably get upset or feel betrayed. My dad too. I'm not sure what to do. At the same time the younger kids do need things and my grandmother cutting my parent off financially could make our living situation worst. I'm 16 and don't think I could budget for the whole family (6 kids (I'm the oldest). Plus my parents might turn really immature and put all of the financial responsibilities on the money she sends. I just dont want to be in the middle of it but my grandma is trying to get me to take her side. I wanna tell her not to give the money to me but I dont really know how to put it. Any advice please. I'm

I'm 21 years old, working, appiled for school and want to move out. My mom always invites my sister and relatives who has 5-1 kids each. I don't mind being around 3 kids but being surrounded in a crewed house is different.

The mother of my daughter s seems to lie about EVERYTHING. When she s confronted she shuts down and tries to shift some sort of blame on me. She lies about anything she can....i need someone to talk to... I m literally to the point where I wanna die!! I can t deal with her... i try to leave and she always says the right thing to make me stay.... I don t know....

I'm 19 years old, a freshman in college with a 4.0 (full time college student). I don't live with my parents. My mother and I have never had a good relationship. She is constantly telling me what to do, even though I do not live with her. She put cameras up in the house to monitor everything I do, at all times. She will follow me to my friends house to watch and listen to what we do. If she does not approve of a friend (they have to be handsome or rich), she will do anything that is necessary from keeping me from them, ex: call the cops. She has scared off all my friends, so all I do is study. If I do not listen to every little things she asks, she will take away things that mean the most ex: college fund, my truck, gas money, you name it. Other families around here say that I'm very polite and respectful and that I'm very mature for my age. However, she doesn't believe anything the families have said. I have tried for many years to sit down and have a discussion with her. She ALWAYS refuses and then after that she gets mad and tries to start an argument. I can't even tolerate to be around her anymore, I'm at a loss of what to do. She has always been controlling, and over the years, it's only getting significantly worse. Any tips are appreciated, thank you!

all the time she doesnt get of my back. she dont let me go out with my friends. she dont let me in my own room other than going bed. i aint allowed wifi just only on my laptop for homework. and all she does is ground me 24 7 what can i do with my life how do i ignore her! what do i do!

My mom and I have never had a very good relationship. She controls almost everything I do. If I do not listen to every little thing she asks, she starts taking away the things that mean the most. ex. college fund, my truck, or even gas money. I'm 19 years old, I have a 4.0 in college (full time college student) and she has scared off all my friends, all I do is study. Every family around here believes that I am well mannered and that I'm very mature for my age. My mother doesn't believe other families. With that being said, she watches everything I do, she put cameras all over the house to monitor the things I'm doing. She will also follow me to a friends house and will watch and listen to everything we do. She will NOT let me hang out with anyone she doesn't like (they have to be rich or handsome), if she finds out that I'm hanging out with someone she doesn't approve of, she will call the cops. I tried to have an actual discussion with her, but she refuses to sit down and talk to me. I have tried for many years now to earn her trust, but it seems no matter what I do it just gets worse. Anything tips are very appreciated! Thank you!

I'm 15, and recently (the past few months) my parents are acting very strict. They act like I'm going out to do drugs, get drunk, laid, etc. I explain to them that I'm only going to a friend's house to just hang out with a group of friends and watch movies, go out to dinner, etc. and they still don't trust me! They used to be very trusting and ever since the school year started they're acting so strict! I completely understand that it's a parent's responsibility to make sure their child is safe, but at this point it's becoming too much.

Antone punched my friend Josh in the face, just because Josh didn't want to sit next to him(Antone) why is Antone so mean like this? What would you have done?

Should I give him both a BJ and a beer?

I'm 13 and my brothers 26 and my brothers lives at home cus of reasons. This has been going on for a few months now but whenever I go down and say "hey" to him he doesn't even say hi back he says "ok mate" or "alright mate" and then if I ask him to do something or help me he says "i don't have time to mess around with little kids" like he can't even bother saying hi to me and when I try and spend time with him he always tell me to go upstairs cus he always "busy". it rly hurts me because for the past few months we haven't even had a proper conversation

i was just finally falling asleep today because i have a lot of trouble doing so. then i heard a car door shut out the window and at first thought it was my neighbor until i heard footsteps walking on the sidewalk near my window. i said aloud "damnet, Tony's home!" (my son) and since my window was open he probably overheard me. what i meant wasn't that i wasn't annoyed by his presence, but because my dog was going to start barking once that door opened. which it did. my son came in and ignored me when i said "hi" but he might have also have just not heard me. i didn't think about it until now, hours later and my son in bed, that he might have heard me shout that and thought i was annoyed by him coming home. should i tell him that i shouted that and what i really meant, just in case he heard me? or would it be an awkward thing to bring up hadn't he heard me?

My sister was watching a video about the Beatles she cried when she saw Ringo she really loves him. She's obsessed with him. She felt sad when she watched it. She's always sad whenever she sees him. She said he's the cute one. How can I help her feel better ?

My mom won't stay out of my business. Why does she act like I can't have privacy. I'm 24 and yes I still live with my parents, but I don't have to tell them everything I'm doing. I work, hang out with friends, and hang out with my girlfriend. What's so hard about that? Why is she so annoying about it? She gets mad when I won't tell her stuff like I don't ask about what she and my dad does because I know that's none of my business and I really just don't care.

So yesterday my dad slapped my mom three times because they were arguing. So I borrowed 20 dollars from my mom because I had no cash the other day and I just got paid the other day but with a check so of course I have to go cash my check out before I can give her money but the bank was closed and I explained to her I would give her money back the next day. Long story my boyfriend comes over to the house and my decides to start fighting with me Infront of him shee always tries to humiliate me In front of my boyfriend by calling me names and I feel she does this infront of him because she knows he cant defend me because she'll kick him out the house or worse never let me see him. So she started yelling and saying she's going to say whatever she wants and that she's going to yell even louder at me so my boyfriend could hear and then my dad got mad and told her that it's embarrassing and rude that she treats me like that infront of my boyfriend. We were downstairs at this point leaving to get my moms money but we could hear everything from downstairs and it was just really humiliating for me to experience this. I don't know what I should I do.she's trying to put the blame on that's it's my fault they fought and it's my fault my dad wants to leave her now. I think I should just leave my house I am 19 and I feel it is my fault my family is falling apart and the only way I can fix it is by leaving.

Uncle is an alcoholic, aunt will scream at him the whole time, grandfather will bark about politics while grandmother doesn't know my name due to Alzheimers and bites people. The other uncle curses left and right at his kids and to fit in my Mom (it is her family) acts really strict with us when she is not in real life. They all discuss what a loser my Dad is and how I can't see him because he is an alcoholic when actually my Mom's family is far more toxic. I come away upset. How do I get out of this when I am only 13 and can't stay home alone. If I have to go how to I handle it so it is not a disasterous day.

My brother wants us to move in together. A few years ago, after my parents passed away, I was struggling financially and my brother kept me afloat for a little over a year. During this time period we discussed moving in together, but mostly it was me moving in with him. I'm back on my feet now and haven't asked my brother for a dime in years. Out of the blue recently he's started talking about us moving in together, this time with him coming to my city. This hasn't been a topic of conversation in quite some time. I love my brother, but I don't want to live with him. He's a total emotional alpha male, can't lose or concede, always has to be right. I can deal with him for a short period of time, but I don't want to put up with that on a daily basis. I get enough of that on my job. I'm on the verge of achieving some of my goals this year and creating a better future for myself. I plan on having new job and relocating to another city in a year or so. My brother's long term goal seems to be move in with me to save money and do whatever he's planning on doing until one of us moves out. The thing is, he makes more money than me, so I'm not sure where this is coming from all of a sudden. He says if we move in together, he'll pay all the bills until I find a new job. I awkwardly hinted that this isn't something I want to do, and I know he's hurt, but I don't know what to do. His long term goals shouldn't involve taking care of me. I don't know what to do to smooth things over.

I have Bipolar. I'm 55. I put my son out yesterday at 18. He never got to finish high school, I took him out at age 16 against his wishes. I didn't want him mooching off of me. He has no car, or a job. I never taught him how to drive, but I do not want to as that would make him a moocher off of me. He has never had a job as he has no reliable transportation. He has no friends as he started isolating himself 3 years ago and just lost interests. I would get angered whenever he would eat any of the food I bought, that started 2 years ago he gradually stopped eating much of anything. Before age 16, I never allowed him to go to any summer camps, hang out with friends, he mostly just had to stay inside, as I did not think it was my responsibility to allow him to have "fun". I stopped celebrating his birthday when he was 11. All of the parties and gifts stopped then as well. I put him out because I'm tired of him living here and never going anywhere. I told him he is not allowed to study or attend college while he is living at my home, because I don't want to support him. Do you think I did the right thing?

It is extended family and I feel nervous that if I make one mistake I'll be cast out of the family. I'm adopted (at age 7 months) so I feel like I have to prove myself good to the family or I'll get rejected.

She is mad but he says he was just preventing a conflict. On one hand I see my moms point. On the other hand my dad's the one who works so it's his money shouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants? My mom doesn't work so she's lazy. She says it's because she has four kids but we go to school.

I want them both to leave together at the same time. I never wanted my kids but they are 17 and 18. I took them out of school in 8th grade, I never let them go back. I refuse to teach them how to drive. I refuse to give them an ssn and an ID. I refuse to get them a bike. They refuse to walk 15 miles to get to public transportation. For 17 and 18 years I have spent very minimal money on them, I buy them cheap food from dollar tree while wife and I we buy expensive for us. They have no money. I want to kick them out on Christmas Day this year. My wife says I'm wrong but I do not think I am since 17 and 18 are basically adults?

i'm only sexually attracted to down syndrome people... are they a fetish ;)

The only reason I have finally come to here is because I've run out of ideas on how to deal with it. Nothing is working. He yells at me for everything. For example: "Get off your laptop!" (while I'm doing my homework) and then, "What the hell are you lazing around for? Do your damn homework!" I am a teenager and I'm a good kid, I don't rebel, I don't disobey and I don't act bad. I have okay grades, yet lately they have been going down as my dad has gotten worse and worse and so has my depression. I try to discuss this with my mum, and she is all good with it. "He just loves you a lot, and he cares about you." My automatic reaction when he comes over is to flinch, but he never hits me. Everything I choose interest in is "bad" or "not right" or "I don't agree with that I think different so you can't do that". My dad is super athletic, he runs like 60km or more at a time. He doesn't understand that not everyone is like him. My mum runs, though only 20km or so at a time. And my little sister runs, but only like 5 or 10km. I hate running, everything about it. My already bad knees make it torture, but I'm forced to anyway. "You'll enjoy it" he says "If you don't your phone is gone". Yes, the phone I paid for and pay the plan for using money I earn from the job I got. I don't know how to react to it. My extended family notices, and they invite me to stay at their houses so I can have a break, but when I get back it's always even worse.

can you rate them from 1-10 for how they look for their age? The first 2 are in their mid 30s the last is in her late 40s If you give a low rating please explain how they can improve and if you leave a link I will answer yours too. Thanks https://www.flickr.com/photos/142447686@N06/with/33825016966/ I know these pics are not very good but just asking you to rate them from what you can see. thanks

My parents sometimes fight sometimes and I just sit there doing nothing, listening to their constant yelling that I have to deal with. I really dislike living in a family that constantly argues. My dad's more controlling and tries to reason with my mom and my im is all crazy ranting and going insane. I really hate to live in a family like this. I read that kids who grew up in disfunctional families tend to have bad behaviors and I just want to be like that. I really feel like I should just call a mental institution so they can take care of my mom or just run away to live with my friend or go to Canada or something like that. I really don't know what to say... it's really hard to live like this every single day

My 8 year old daughter recently started displaying inappropriate behavior. She doesn't have any friends that I know of who does these things, she's not on social media as it does not interest her yet, and I don't know where she got these ideas from! I'm beginning to worry she may be sexually abused or someone is teaching her these things. For example, she plays games with her two brothers that involve taking their clothes off. She suddenly knows sexual language and uses them frequently. When we went to her aunt's place who has a 15 year old daughter and a dog, she started talking to her teen cousin about sticking her fingers up the dog's private area. Her cousin told me that my daughter has been fixated on that topic for the whole afternoon and won't leave the dog alone. She takes all her toys' clothes off because she finds it "funny". We've spoken to her about this many times but this behavior is repetitive and I'm very frightened that she may have been abused. Help?

I am in the room next to my mothers and I can hear her moaning and saying sexual things in the other room while being on the phone and it really disturbs me. My mom is a pessimistic person so if I tell her that I can hear her conversations on the phone, she'll take it in a negative way. I'm also not that confrontational type of person so, I really do not know what to do.

I am a 16 year old girl and I very much dislike and resent my father, the rest of my family hates him too. Family is just a word to me and I have no interest in forgiving my dad, I don't think he deserves it. My mom died when I was 2 years old and my dad I is a very angry and verbally abusive person. He screams and swears at me over the littlest things and calls me names, it's always been like this. He prioritizes his girlfriends over me and my sis. My dad is very lazy+irresponsible, my grandmother buys me and my sister our necessities and has mostly raised us. I plan to cut my dad out of my life when I am older and on my own, I've always felt his way growing up. When he has a girlfriend he becomes her little ***** and thinks she's god and he can't say no to her and goes along with everything she says. We lived with one for 6 years and it was a horrible situation. She was evil and he would never ever defend me or my sister against her. Now he has a new girlfriend and it's starting again. He also can't afford our house anymore and we have to move into an apartment. I'm discontented with everything in my life right now, I also went through a very toxic,mentally+emotionally abusive relationship last year and it really changed me for the worse. My depression and anxiety are getting bad again I just don't know how to deal with it all. (I am not suicidal nor do I self harm or plan to) therapy is not an option because I can't afford it. I just want to hear peoples opinions/advice.

I was born in March 2002, am I a 2000's kid or a 2010's kid? Everyone tells me that I am a 2010's kid but I am not sure.

I'm 15 and I've been crying for the past 2 hours I no longer feel happy at home my happy place is school that's the only place I can truly be happy. She yells at me all the time for no reason she's always calling me names like a brat stupid lazy ect the only reason I sleep all the time is one I need sleep school makes me tired and 2 it's the only escape at home I can't go live with my dad trust me I tried :/ I'm just getting more and more sad. I can't take this I cry almost everyday and she never even once gave me a hug all she does is tell me to shut up. I keep telling myself it's only 2 more years until I'm 18 (Turning 16 in the summer ) but I don't think I will be able to make it until then

The reason i'm driven to move out is because i feel as if i can't live in this environment. I care and respect my parents a lot but there is always constant arguing about something and i can't deal with it any longer. The arguing is either between my mom and dad or my siblings. I try to avoid it as often as i can. Another issue, is that they're traditional hispanic parents and they still try to control my every action. They don't let me go out with my friends nor my boyfriend often due to them seeing my other cousins getting pregnant or on drugs. It drives me crazy that they compare my life to my cousins' situation. They know i'm not interested in drugs or alcohol. I just want a breather sometimes. Now that you can get an idea of what my situation is, maybe you can help me. I used to work a part-time job in California and i don't think i would make enough to pay for all my financial responsibilities such as rent, gas/electric/water/phone/wifi bill, my car insurance, and groceries. I thought about moving in with maybe 3 roomates to take care of the rent situation. Rent for a 2 bedroom apartment typically runs from 1250-1500 dollars and my car insurance might be around 400 dollars. Now the big question is do you guys have any advice for me to be able to survive on my own with my roomates?

I drive to college and usually one of my parents follow me on the long drive to college. At first, they stay in the car as I go to my classes. Then, they started following me as I walk to my classes. I told them I feel embarrassed, but they keep doing it. Sometimes, they follow me right up to my classroom door. I feel so embarrassed that my classmates saw and my teacher probably saw too.

The rest of the extended family is getting together but they didn't ask me. My parents and siblings are out of town (different places) Usually my parents don't want to go so they assumed I am with my parents I guess (I am not with them). However, I have a super formal family so I can't invite myself. I feel so depressed.

I was alienated from my dad as a kid and I believed my mom and all the horrible things that she said about him until I was 15. I've carried the guilt about this with me ever since. Like an age 14 I was telling a friend how my dad is a womanizer and it turned out my dad is not.

So my dad spanked me today and i am only 12 and he smacked my butt like 3 times!!!! Doesnt that make him a petifile because i am small and skinny and a boy so does that mean my das is gay? Should i call 911 or foster care? My mum says i deserve it and she doesn't do anything what do i do? Isnt spanking ilegal in the U.S. and in other cohntruea i thought only like low and middle people could hurt tgeir children? What do i do? Should i tell friensa and have my parents arrested?

We have a family that lives next door that we can't stand. It's a husband and wife with their 3 little kids. We used to be close with them but it got to be too much and my parents got in a fight with them. Now for the past 3 years they have done everything possible to annoy us. They are loud, obnoxious, and the dad is a horrible person. The parents are sports crazy and they're constantly outside training they're kids and yelling at them. Our backyards are connected so there's no privacy at all. All they do is play baseball and they use a real softball which constantly goes in our yard. I'm afraid it's going to hit our cars. The kids also scream as loud as possible and the parents tell them to scream on purpose. The dad is so obnoxious and he's given my parents the finger several times. At night he smokes pot out back and we can smell it which is disgusting. Last summer he set off fireworks in his yard at random times which scared us all to death. Someone called the cops but the cop said he couldn't do anything since he didn't see it. They also have 3 security cameras pointing at our house which I feel like is an invasion of privacy since they can see everything we do. We've tried blasting music to block them out but they are still annoying. We try to ignore them but it's just impossible when they're practically in our yard. We don't want to move, we've lived here much longer then them, but we don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Also yes, we could put up a fence. But we actually used to have a fence and that didn't really help. We want to line the whole property line with big bushes but it's a little expensive.

My brother, Sam is 8 years old and he is abusive towards me. I am much older than him ( I am 15 ) and I know NOT to hit him back. Whenever he hits me in a store, I ask my mom for help and all she says is, "Just go away then." I started getting food then Sam was scratching my arm. I tried to run away from him and he started chasing me. My mom called me immature and childish. In the car I accidentally bumped into Sam and then he started punching me over and over again. I pretended it didn't hurt, but there were red marks all over my arm. While my brother was punching me, my mom told me that I lose electronics for two hours when we came home. I give up. I feel like my mom won't even listen to me. What should I do?

so my parents are ruining me and i cant take it anymore. i promise im not a bad kid at all or trying to rebel or anything. I feel like my whole life is revolving around them not so much my mom but my step dad, my dad left when i was a baby and my mother was alone with two boys me being the youngest. my mom was afraid of me and my brother eventually leaving her alone and the "money issue" and married a true prick i might think, and over the years she has been getting more like him. so last year my brother turned 18 and got the **** out of the house and im left alone with my parents. my step dad has MS which makes different parts of his body wierd over long amounts of time and he gets no sleep. i feel like my whole life is revolving around them they tell me to suit their needs like bringing them stuff that they might want it varies but like a beer, scissors, remotes, etc. and you know i can understand they might want me to do chores. its gotten to the point where im cleaning the entire house and replacing all lightbulbs, no joke, raking leaves off the roof and both front and backyards and cleaning the gutter and tomorrow they are having me cut wood for them. as much as that is i could bare it, but they dont say thank you and if they do its half assed and usually just never seem like i get the aprrieciation for anything. also while i do all these things to satisfy my parents all they do is tell me if im not cleaning well enough and if i am forgetting to do something that they told me days before to do. if i do forgeyt something like walking through the grass on my way home they count it as disrepectful and disobediet as my step dad says "you're practically saying ***** you *step dads name* im not gonna obey you" anyways my mom knows how contolling my step dad is and usually does things in private like ordering clothes online or giving me money for lunch because she knows he will get pissed at both of us. but my mom seems as the same person as him when they are together. through all of this i think my parents are very narrsissistic they seem to enjoy thinking everyone around them are below them and they speak aloud saying they probably go on welfare and practically saying they dont do anything when they dont even know the person. and im pretty sure my step dad is racist cause he calls people ragheads and says they are gonna suicide bomb things which is really ****** up my step dad also likes to put me down with others like when families get together and things like that he makes fun of my weight when ever someone says dessert. he also likes to be so humble when others are around like we had company over and he replaced a light bulb in front of everyone so they think he always does that when that was the first light bulb ive ever seem him replace. so he likes his self image. he is retired and ***** off the whole day and never cleans when he has the whole day even though my dad is retired he refuses to give me a ride to school saying its a waste of money to drive a fat kid. i have revoked to drugs and alchohal but not alot i wasnt doing it for attention i was doing it cause it made me feel better and i got a good friend group. anyways my step dad always trys to use intimidation to get me to do what he wants always uses anger. i want to move in with an aunt of mine because i feel like i wouldnt be stressed all the time and id have a better relationship with my mom. i want to know how i could possibly convince my mom to let me move with her and also how we could get this whole family working possibly. and also why my parents are so ****** up and what i could do in anyway. i am 15 right about to turn 16 if that helps in anyway thank anyone who just gives any kind of advice. thank you

So I'm 19 and barely have a car or job . I feel stuck and also I'm overweight and I'm not in the mood of being in a diet . I do want to lose weight but I just don't like being in a specific diet because I feel overwhelmed and stressed out more . The thing is my mom made an appointment with a doctor who is a nutritionist and it's for me , her and my brother. But the thing is I don't want to go because the doctor just gives us a list of the food we eat and we have to go every week and we have to pay like 40$ every week. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I really don't like when my mom makes me go to places I don't want to go to or make me do things I don't want to do. But I get because I live in her house she is the boss of me in a way but I hate myself for being weak and not having my life together. I just wish I had a job and car. I already told my mom I'm not going to the doctor because I don't want to waste money and keep asking my dad every week to send money I mean my dad lives far away and it's not his fault we are fat. It's our fault . What should I do to convince my to not make me go ?

We only have 4 devices in my home, an xbox, iPad, computer, and iPad mini. My younger brother, Michael was on the xbox. My other brother, Jason was on the iPad mini. I went on the iPad and then Michael kept saying, "ITS MY IPAD!!! GIVE IT BACK!!!!" I told him that the iPad does not belong to him and he already was playing on the xbox. My mom intervened and told me to just give him the iPad. My mom acts like my youngest brother (8 years old) is in charge. She lets him get away with everything and she doesn't care if my brother punches me but when I push him away she yells and screams at me. What do I do?! I'm living in fear of my brother. also when he took the iPad away from he, he just continued playing on the xbox and left the iPad on the couch and said that I couldn't go on it

I don't know what's wrong with them. I think they are psychos. So basically what happened this time was that my annoying little sister had stolen something important to me (Sentimental value) and hid it. Naturally I started freaking out and began to cry. My dad got mad at me for crying and tried to throw me out the house. He threw knives, and shampoo bottles at me. Then my ugly mother came down stairs and started threatening to choke me. They took away my phone and laptop. Help?

I'm 16. My grades are falling and so is my energy and/or effort to do anything. My mom and my dad constantly nag me about it and it makes me feel like a failure. I don't want to fail but have no feeling or want to do anything either, and it's making me drop quickly. I'm not really to happy anymore about much, just kinda tired and bored, and my mom is trying to keep my stuff away from me due to grades and is comparing me to my sisters a lot, they're both younger, one 12 and one 13. My family doesn't do much together, occasionally go geocaching and i can keep a straight face but I'm just not feeling much happiness, and when i do get happy i'm not home, I make excuses to leave constantly and it doesn't last. I can't really talk to either of my parents, they are authoritative and pretty much yell until I give up and hide in my room, and my siblings go through my stuff constantly, and my mom acts oblivious, and my siblings and I do not get along, we constantly argue and they put me down a lot when i tell them no. I just don't want to do anything anymore, and I want to isolate myself and kinda be alone, but not at the same time, I want to just disappear for a week and see if I'm happier, i don't think it's them, I think it's something wrong with me but my school counselor is rude and scary and they wouldn't get me a counselor if i asked, because they just yell and get angry i don't talk to them, what can I do? I just need some ideas, because I don't want to be like this
