My mother is using my kids on her rental assistance to get help on her light bill and rent. My mother doesn't have an income and my sister and I are paying her rent and light bill. Her rent is $420 and between me and my sister we give my mom $500 a month. She is taking the money spending it on herself. I told my mom that I am not giving her cash money only check and money order to the light bill company and manager of our housing. She got mad and told me not to pay anything. I can just move out, that's when I told her to stop using my kids on her assistance. I'm getting a notarized letter sent to her case worker to stop using my income and kids to get help on her bills.

I'm not saying my mom is a bad mother, but she is always ruining my positive mood. I'm 14 and we don't really have a close mother and daughter relationship. Whenever she talks to me, it's mostly some blabbering about how I am like a bad daughter and tells me that I don't socialize with my relatives when they come visit. Honestly I don't even want to talk to her, because everytime she talks it always makes me feel frustrated to the point where I just want to cuss at her. that's why I feel anxious when I'm around her because I think any minute she is going to say something I did wrong or stuff, which results in me eating my dinners after my parents are done, and avoiding her as much as possible. As for socializing with my relatives, It's usually a gathering and I hate crowds so I avoid it (mostly I'm in my room) I am not socially inept.

My cousin is 18 and she is beautiful!!! she has beautiful long hair, sparkly eyes, big boobs(like really big) and a very tight p*ssy ( ive seen her camel toe). what do i need to do in order for her to let me play with her boobs(suck them, lick them, pinch them etc.) and finger her and eat her out? im 19 by the way. what if there is no intercourse involved? just the fonddling and stuff

My parents and I have a terrible realationship growing up they would hit me all the time and I have never felt any love for them. The only reason they can't beat me anymore is simply because I am too big and strong (physically) for my father to beat me. I have always had a great realationship with my grandfather, he would always take care of me when I was younger and we have always been more like best friends then family. I have already quit school and work a full time job. (I work on a cattle ranch) So I know my grandfather would not have to worry about money but would simply like to live with him because he is only family member I love. He is still only 74 and is in good physical health and I have talked to him about it and he says he would love for me to live with him. Sorry if I have rambled but I would like opinions and also some advice on the laws about this in Texas. Thank you

I know this isn't exactly the best place to post this but we can't afford a solicitor. Recently my mum found out about an ongoing abuse which has happened between my stepdad me and my two siblings for over 10 years I'm 17 they're 9 and 12. She immediately kicked him out he isn't allowed to see the kids due to the social worker and Domestic violence. My mum wants a divorce she is a dedicated nurse and has been since she was 16 we hardly saw her because she put others first and when she met our stepdad he had nothing but the clothes on his back. Now my mum wants a divorce and she's scared he will ask for half of the house, we would be homeless. My mum can't afford to lose the house she is a single mother struggling to get by as it is. My stepdad (but my siblings real dad) refuses to pay a penny for them so my mums doing everything Can he take the house away if my mum says divorce because he will do that We're stuck

I asked this yesterday, but I think people didn't understand what I was trying to ask. When it comes to very young children (I'm talking infant age), people say "the father needs to be involved." Yet when the father wants to share custody or simply asks for overnight visits with the infant, he gets criticized for "not thinking about the child." So this to me sounds like people only want fathers to be somewhat involved. But if they're "too involved," it's suddenly wrong. I really don't understand. When a father is not in a relationship with the mother, what do people actually want from him? To where he doesn't get criticized?

For my site I'm trying to find pics of nude women and nude girl kids in tender romantic sapphic lesbian moments (not necessarily their daugthers)just to celebrate the mom-daughter love but what sometimes arises from this no necessarily family love if you know what I mean the kids 8-13 and the women 18-33 remember nude and in very tender sapphic situations like kissing in the mouth and touching themselves or something like that send link and pics to administrator@sapphilite.net I will check them, they are for private access area only so very few will see them also advice what facebook groups or people i can join to have access to this stuff

- My step dad did say I am in charge and can do what I want.

I have no idea what to get my dad for father's day. So can you guys help me out. His into programming and spends a lot of time playing with a raspberry pi and arduinos pretty much anything tech related and he can tinker with for a while. He also likes silly stuff like funny quotes on coffee mugs or t-shirts and crappy budget films that are so bad they are hilarious. He also likes toffee but I got him that last year and the year before. I'm out of ideas of what to get him and I don't just want to get him toffee.

My mentor has always been there for me through everything, we've become really close friends. She's very rough and is always pushing me hard. She moved away last year, we cal and talk to her on the phone all the time! Every time she calls she always brings up how rough I am on myself, ALWAYS. I'm working extremely hard to fix it but she always tells me I need to "be nicer to myself", then I feel like have made no progress at all. I cried a tiny bit to her today because I felt so overwhelmed that she kept saying that every time we talk. She said she didn't want to make me cry and said she just believes in me so much but it doesn't feel like it. She's always pointing out that 1 flaw and it hurts me because I'm trying so hard. Why does she do that?

My mom took us and her brother which is our uncle out to dinner and I accidentally put too much lettuce on my salad plate and he gets mad and pissy. Then my mom told him it's ok. Then my special needs sister put too much ice cream in her bowl and he gets mad at her too. My mom said don't worry about it. Then I have this aunt who is sometimes extremely bossy and grumpy and yesterday when I showered she said you get 10 minutes and I said I need more time then that because I didn't shower yesterday. Then she gets mad. Like it's not even her house and she's timing my showers. Why are parents siblings so bossy and rude ?

Last summer around June I found needles and a glass pipe in my mom's purse. There was leftover blood in some needles and I'm sure if I would've looked harder I could've found meth crystals. I confronted her about it with the helpof my grandma whom me and my mom have lived with since I was 7 and shes always taken care of me not my mom. Since last summer there has been 3 other occasions where I've found used bent spoons for meth, glass pipes 3 different times and I've found the actual crystals chopped up and an actual crystal. I've taken pictures of all of this and I want to do something about it. If I go to the police station what will they do to her? We live in Oklahoma I'm 16 and she's 34

He has not publicly shown remorse though people say privately he probably regrets it. He is still with the then-mistress.

I am tired of being the one expected to hate her and join her forces against him. I don't let her use me but when she tries to I still feel used. I don't want to cut her out of my life as she is otherwise a good Mom. She is a very bitter person who devotes her life to hatred of my Dad.

one second she is nice and the other second she is a *****, my dad and i think she has a mood swing disorder, but she wont go to the doctor and get medication. sometimes she screams at me for the smallest things. my uncle is living with for now and she forced me to give up my bedroom for him to stay in, and i wasn't to happy about that, and now i have to sleep in the living room, but whenever i walk by the room in the morning to go to the bathroom and i turn on the light she instantly screams "turn of the f****** light off or you're gonna be grounded", and after that she said get out here and pick up these water bottles from your area, and when i started to pick up the water bottles up she started yelling and she said "be quiet you inconsiderate f**k. sometimes i feel like she just wants to argue, and then like half an hour later she starts to be all nice, and we do this everyday, and we argue all the time.

I'm not exactly sure how to deal with this. I'm a full time student and currently I'm full time serving at a local restaurant now that I'm on break. I am also practically homeless. I'm living with a friend but there are days when I'll have to find somewhere else to stay for the night. I did live with my parents and I left due to the years of neglect and abuse. Plus, the house I was living in was unstable and everything was falling apart over there and my parents did not care enough for their kids safety. I grew up with my mom constantly calling me stupid, a *****, dumbass, slut, piece of ****, idiot and that I will never be like my sister because she's smarter than me. She made fun of me because I decided to go to community college and her exact words were, "Of course you would start off there because you are stupid and you need easy work." My dad was very violent and would beat me all the time and I was always treated differently and I was the only one who had a job out of all the kids, which is 6 kids, and I had to provide for my own. She would also take money out of my bank account and use it for herself. She recently just texted me saying, "go to hell. Stupid *****. You are a piece of ****. I wish I never gave birth to you. **** you." She sent me several more telling me to go rot in hell and that she only has one daughter(my only sister) and that I am nothing. I'm just in a situation where I'm really hurt and I'm not sure what to do exactly. Is this normal ?

Ok so at the moment my husband and I are living at our inlaws with our 2 kids. The room where we stay at is the only passage to get to thr garage where my mother in law puts her uniforms for work. Every morning she comes in wearing notbing but a bra and panties. That really bothers me. Just two days ago my huband was in the room and she did the same thing and told him not to look at her. I just think thats plain weird what should I do? She used to be over 300 pounds but got surgery and now thinks she is a model I think. Her body still looks pretty messed up but apparently she doesnt think so.

My grandmother is sick and my mother is taking care of her and working so she has very little time to sleep. I m 21 so I can work. I was wondering if there is a policy that I can take her place temporarily?

I have a mother who is a Catholic zealot, and she despises and hurts me seemingly whenever the chance arises. She screams at me, punishes me harshly and for no reason, and blames me and my sister (14) for everything. After I came out as gay, the abuse got even worse. What do me and my sister do?

okay, so this is kind of a long story and i m going to try and shorten it down as much as i can. it all happened in around two weeks. please stay with me. basically, my mom needed money to pay our bills and i was trying to scrape together as much as i could find. my younger (12) brother let me borrow his $30 to give to her. now, we were going to our dads for the week, and i left all of my money on my desk in case my mom needed it while we were gone. the same night we left, i had a dance that my friends and i organized and attended. people were confused about who to give their money to, so a lot of them gave it to me. i ended up with $40. my share was going to be $20 and i had to give the rest back so we could share it all evenly. a few days later, $20 was missing. that would ve been my entire share for our hard work so i was pretty upset. so, long story short, my brother took that $20. he apologized after lying about it despite me having clear evidence. he also kept trying to make excuses. now, my question is, should i pay him back his $30, or keep it to teach him a lesson? or maybe give it to someone who deserves it?

For example, tonight my aunty was eating sardines and said that she doesn't think she'll eat them anymore. I asked her why, and she said they 'don't look right'. So of course, I'm going to carry on the conversation and relate to her experience, right? I told her about the canned tuna I used to eat when I was little and how there were bits of bone and red stuff in it. Then she cut in and said that it was sardines I was eating because sardines have soft bones. I told her again that it was in fact tuna (I remember because it was in a tuna can and I DESPISED even the smell of sardines as a child). Anyway, I carried on, not letting myself be bothered at all by her already souring attitude, by trying to continue the conversation. I told her that I could even see the vertebrae- the little round bits of bone, in the can. She told me that there is not vertebrae in tuna. Then literally 10 seconds later, she stormed back out of her room and said how dare I speak about her sardines that way and try to make her feel guilty about her food when I used to eat tuna (I'm a vegan now). I corrected her and told her that I was talking about the tuna I used to eat and that we weren't even on the topic of her sardines at that point (I mean, she'd literally just tried correcting me saying there is no vertebrae in tuna!). She then tried 'correcting' me by insisting I was talking about her food and slammed the door in my face when I was just trying to explain myself to deflate the situation. :/ And she's been ignoring me all night. This is a woman who is almost 40yoa, yet she slams doors and ignores me like a 5 year old would do when they have a 'fight' with their friend. I just don't understand why people are like this and I hate the feeling of there being conflict between myself and the people I love. I can't handle negativity in my life. I even feel like crying as I type this because I didn't do anything wrong and she's cut me out when we were meant to have a nice evening together. And the worst thing with her is that when there are misunderstandings, she shuts the door in your face and ignores you instead of listening when you're trying to make things better and explain where she didn't hear you properly. That is her problem- she doesn't truly listen to you when you talk, even when she nods along. Then it backfires on you when you never even said or did anything offensive. So what am I meant to do? Have her walk all over me like this or keep my distance for my own sanity?

My 14 year old sister is obsessed with Charles Manson she loves anything to do with him or his family. She watches shows about him every week on tv. She also has nightmares from watching stuff like this. I keep telling her she shouldn't be obsessed with it or even watching it but she doesn't listen. It also scares me I'm worried that she'll take it the wrong way when she gets older some kids like her who grow up watching this stuff would think it's ok and go out and do it. She said she wants to be like Sadie when she grows up she thinks she looks like her she kind of does a little also she thinks she's funny the way she's always bossing everyone around she's kind of the leader of the girls I guess. Also it's really confusing the stories change in every movie / show. One minute they say the dates are August 8-9 then it's August 9-10. Then they say Charlie knew Sharon and The Beatles but then they say he didn't then he was with Tex and the girls both nights but then he's only at one or isn't with them at all. It gets very confusing I don't know what to believe. I try hard not to believe it because it's scary. My sister is madly in love with Tex she has a crush on him. She likes him better than Charlie I don't like any of them not even the none of girls are hot. Also I like guys to but none of the guys in this I don't like. She's seen almost every movie or show about him. She said she wants to meet Tex one day she feels bad for him. How can I help her get over this obsession ?

My mentor has always been there for me through everything, we've become really close friends. She's very rough and is always pushing me hard. She moved away last year, we cal and talk to her on the phone all the time! Every time she calls she always brings up how rough I am on myself, ALWAYS.

Why does she do that?

She was always spoiled. She was the youngest of five kids and our mother was exhausted by the time she had come along so gave her all she asked for. My brother (2nd child) committed suicide at 22 and so our parents were grieving that when the sister, now spoiled, was only 10. The other sister (oldest child) had some issues with drugs some 10-15 years ago so they were busy with her as well. This youngest girl was just spoiled. If punished by Dad, Mom would lift the punishment. So my question now that she is 24 and demanding like an eleven year old is she past the point of redemption and will be this way the rest of her life? Or is she still a kid in many ways and will likely outgrow it? Our mother was much more the enabler.

Last night I was watching a movie with my grandma. After the movie has done, nana said that it's time to go to bed. When I went to my bedroom the door was open and the lights were off , I saw my mom wearing undies and humping a pillow ( we do share the same room and same bed). She didn't see me because she was busy humping. Should I tell her that I saw her and ask her why she did it? I'm 13 btw and mom is single.

She says this whenever the hurt her divorce and her alienating me from my Dad caused me. What she says she was protecting me from was her and my Dad's arguing and my Dad's rude manners towards my mother. Also she says she protected us from expecting him home after school when he'd be off with friends. As for alienating I agree my Dad could have fought her over it more but the way she would alienate is telling me he did not love me because he loved no one but his friends. Also saying he picked his new wife and new kids over my siblings and I. He would call wanting to see us but when my mother would say know he did not pursue legal options. I feel I let him down. I feel shame (he is not alive anymore). How she blamed me was by saying the divorce was to "protect me". She never actually said "it is your fault" but I interpret her claim it was to protect me as though they wouldn't have divorced if it weren't for me.

well the baby came out all furry :S what the hell! and the dog looks very satisfied

I'm a 13 year old autistic girl, but my mom treats me like a baby. I act just as responsible as my 14 year old sister (whom my mom treats like a 14 year old) but it doesn't seem to matter. I know my mom tries really hard and I don't want to hurt her but I'm not even allowed to walk around the block by myself! How can I fix this?

I'm tired of my family being poor. I have 3 brothers 2 of which are in college and just leach off my mom while being unemployed, as my mom just lost her job; this is starting to piss me off. I just want to know a way to make any money online/offline other than my part time job at the moment.

So my parents and sister did not know when my graduation was even though I gave them a calendar of my whole school year online before school. Would it still be my fault that I forgot to tell then I'm graduating. They told me that they had their own lives to worry about and I needed to grow up. I kinda need to get this off my chest as I'm going into college and I'm starting to be sorta depressed about it.

I'm 17, and I just graduated from highschool. My parents won't let me move out, and, in my state, you need to be 18 to move out without parental consent. If my birthday is less than 3 months away, is there anything my parents could actually do to stop me? I just need out of this house. They won't even sign the papers to let me join the military, and I feel like I'm going completely insane.

I'm 21 now n at 14 my father got deported, our family tore apart, we lost our house and cars etc, n moved every year..my father had me promise to look after my family n i told him i would, 3 years had passed 17yrs old i was vaguely explained how my father was doin n found out My father fell into depression, was broke, his family turned his back against him for lack of $ n now has a skin (disease) tht makes his skin lose it's pigment. At tht point in my life I felt like i betrayed my father for not being more attentive..for those 3 years ive done nothing for him, even tho i was young i can never forgive myself... Ever... I met a psychology teacher who use to tell me "to stop living my father's life and to begin living my own, to look around instead of just straight ahead".

Its non of my business but my mother is 42, if she has sex with a condom is there a high risk of her getting pregnant? I'm 17 and I take care of my sick grandfather and my younger sisters with my mom, running errands, I actually became homeschooled so I can help out because my father works so much and for the last 3 years I've found myself home for months at a time that when I go out I feel like a alien and everyone looks at me like I'm a freak even my neighborhood looks at me as a weirdo. My mom has no plans for anymore kids like once I said "please no more kids" and she said are you crazy, but like for some crazy reason me and my mom ovulate and get our periods pretty much at the same time so when I'm ovulating she will have the same symptoms as me, I know we sometimes ovulate twice in a month so I was just wondering like if my mom knows she's safe but is then ovulating again and doesn't know and has sex with a condom she could have twins? I feel like I'm a 40 year old stay at home mother, my last sister was a surprise so I'm freaking out she'll get pregnant by accident again, me and my mom are close and I know she just uses a condom, I know after my last sister was born she was so scared to have sex again and she research so much before she started again (no sex for 5 years). Everyone jokes "where's the boy?" or my uncle says all the time she's going to get pregnant again he can feel it, my mom always says I'll be the one to have the boy. I just want to feel like a kid

So I may or may not be 13 and a male and both my parents are kind of ugly my dad has an ok penis and my mom has large saggy breast all the girls in my family are shaved dont ask how i know that... and i made a little noise and they saw me and i heard through their wall cause i was checking to see if they were gonna talk to me and they arent but they know it was me idk what they are going to do about it but im kinda scared about what is going to happen and what should my excuse be and what do you think will happen Im being for real not a troll i need help plz!

One time she opened the door wearing red checkered short shorts. I just couldn't control myself. I am 18 years old. She is slim and has a stunningly hot figure. She is my father's younger sister.

So my sister and her boyfriend went to the movies. During the day she cleaned our house and its spotless. She comes home and low and behold yells at me because i left one dish in the sink. 1 DISH!!! She goes crazy over stupid things. She would rather clean that have a nice relationship with anyone. Her boyfriend decided to play with something in the kitchen and he got yelled at because of it, by her. Somehow he still pays for everything for her. Then she starts to sweep the floor. She gets the broom all the way under the counters and in the dining room and sweeps it by me and yells at me and tells me all this dirt is mine and my cats. Although its under the counters, how tf do i walk under the counters. Then she tells me im worthless and that i am never going to find a wife and that im a waste of space. All of this routes back to the dish i left in our sink! She is a complete ***** and I think she has bipolar disorder and OCD because at one moment she is happy and then the next shes angry yelling at everyone over a dish in a sink and a tiny speck of dirt on the floor. She also calls me stupid because she got a 3.9 GPA and I got a 3.7 although I m a freshman that takes sophomore and junior honors classes where she takes the on-level, but now I m the dumbest human on earth because I left a dish in the sink. Someone help me, should I continue to have a relationship with her, this is what she tells me everyday it makes me sad. When i tell her she has issues she goes nuts!!

My two aunts and I are not on speaking terms. My aunt Sheila is getting married next month and my mom said she's okay with me being there. However, my aunt Teresa is holding a major grudge against me because when my mom got out of the hospital I refused to take her in because of her drug problems. Obviously, she will be there as well. I am probably making it seem worse than it already is, but I can't help but be nervous about this wedding coming up. How can I avoid my aunt Teresa and not look uncomfortable?

immediate family like parents, siblings, etc?

He was joking and saying to french kiss my mom. Cos I asked my mom if I could have french toast and she said no and that is what my dad said when he was kidding. I'm 24 but I know that doesn't matter. But still.

We have the same father & diff mother (broken family). I'm 24 and she's 17. I try to be a good brother even though we don't see each other much. I found her 4 years ago and we met. I feel kind of stupid for crying to her about a week ago. I explained to her how I wish I had a family like she did. Days after...She didn't bother to ask how I was doing or anything. I try to contact her but she acts uninterested. Am I wasting my time? Have you been in a similar situation? I don't know if I should just back off since IM The Who came looking for her. This has happened to me b4 with a gf and it ends badly. Now my sister is doing the same thing.

The only other person in the house besides me and him is my little brother Kenny, and he's only 9 years old and I locked him in his room so he doesn't become corrupted. He's been in there a while, and he's starting to get mad and is screaming, and I don't want the police to come to my house again. What do I do?

I want to go to a university a good one not here where every one is shitty or don't have the major I want so I decided to go to Reno is only 6 hours away from my home now and im not doing it now but I'm prepared its a thing I have do it eventually so I talked to my mom about it(again) and here's how that went.... she complained about me not picking a school here I explained that even if I did pick one here I still wasn't going to live at home for all my years "Why not?" She said "You have a room here." "Mom I know i have a room here but I want my own place." "Why?" That's all she kept saying why couldn't I live here that if I wanted a bigger room I can make my room bigger why did I have to move if I have a place here we went back and forth until it became a money thing like I have my own money and I already checked for dorms she didn't understand that so frustrated I said "What if I get married huh? I have to move out eventually!" She went on about how one of her friend's daughter still lives in her house with her husband and children and I don't want that I want my own place why can't she understand that I tried many times but each time she says "why do you have to move out if you have a room here?" my older brother is 18 and isn't planning on moving out that's what she wants for me but how can I make her understand that I have to move out to make my life better? Is not like I'm a abandoning but I don't want to be in my fourth year in university and still live at home

Pretty sad, but if the parents did give into this wish of the child not wanting to live at home anymore, but all needs to legally happen for the child to live with the family member he/she wants. Of course they could say no. Is there any legal matters. Like filing custody, give court order. Does the parents still maintain responsibility, or do the other family members become responsible for the child? Or is the responsibility shared?

My hubby is going with his family to Sturgis, and I dont ride so I thought Id take a week and go to FL, stay with my grandparents, & relax & possibly hit a beach or 2. So I booked my flight. Then....Mom texted me 1 morning and said..mind if I join? Im not going to tell my Mom she cant come see her parents. So she booked her flight. Shortly thereafter she springs it on me that theres this bar she wants to take me to, and I told her .."hey, maybe a drink or two but Im not the type to go to the bar every night" and she said "there will be no rules, this is my vacation & you will go with the flow". 1st off, im a 32 year old woman. 2ndly I had some things I wanted to do (by myself) like go to a beach for a few hours when I go to Florida & She said "we will see how it goes, youll just have to go with the flow, & Im coming down to PARTY".for the record my mom & I have spent all of 12 hours together in the past 5 years...& im thinking she doesnt know me or care and is monopolizing. I booked this vacation months ago & here she is wanting 2 be a party animal. & for the record, my mother cannot be reasoned with. If I try to bring up not wanting to drink much and wanting to relax she just keeps saying I have to go with the flow.in other words screw whatever I had planned on my own and we are gonna do what she wants to do is how I am reading this. Am I right to want to just cancel my flight, apologize to my Grandparents and just tell them something came up, and find something else to do?

So am I actually very young 14 years old. And it is summer break currently. I get extremely good grades sometimes and they still call me useless. I am actually interested in this show called the Flash. So I've been obsessed with it lately since it's summer I watch it most of the time and figure the science behind it. I am extremely obsessed with it and sometimes I act crazy sometimes. So they just start calling me useless and nasty things. My older brother is currently 18 and he smokes weed and does all of this bad stuff. And the thing is they literally treat him like he is gold. As well as my older sister. But they treat me like I am trash. They make me do all of these chores and stuff but they never tell my sister or brother to do anything. And whenever I am busy with something they ask me to do it on purpose and I get kind of mad. But then they start laughing me and telling me that I am going to grow up to be a homeless guy all the time. I am actually planning on doing an acting career. And they don't even support me on that. They say it's too stupid of an Idea, especially my mom. And for some reason I feel like sometimes they only want the money. Because that's literally all they talk about, money! They always tell me that I am useless and even for my birthday my mom told me that no one really cares about me. I am literally the most academically upcharged one within my siblings. My sister and brother always get bad grades. And they still treat them like gold.

I have lice and have done all i can for the past five months to get rid of it so i read that i need to find the source of the problem so i ask my sister and she doesnt answer and instead leaves the room and goes to her own. So i go to her room, open her door and ask her over and over and then explain if she does she has an obligation to communicate because its basically a health concern for more than her if she does. She told me to get out and i told her not until she answers my question so she got mad and threw a bag at me and tried to punch me and stuff. I think she got scared and i also think she has some sort of ptsd but i dont know if thats true but that would explain if you think she was over the top in her response.

Here s my situation. I live near and go to school with this kid who owns his own business (that daddy started) but he says otherwise. His father also owns a business and they re pretty wel off. His entire family, including his ***** mother, thinks they re better than me and literally anyone else they encounter. These people are bipolar. They can act like they like me one second, but the next they re ******* asshoes. The father is the nicest guy in the world. He s not the problem. The problem his the control freak, patronizing mother and son who constantly cause me a world of agony. The mom has literally ranted to me before about how she thinks her son is better than me. Her son thinks the same exact way and literally acts like he s my ******* dad and tells me what to do. His family literally thinks they are better than everyone else. The son has made my life a living hell with the way he and his family treats me and talks about me. Th horrible part is , not only did he make my life horrible in high school, acting as if he was better than me, but were now going to be going to the same college. The best part is that I am 10x smarter than this kid and he thinks he s better than me. What do I do to establish my dominance to him and his stupid ******* family, how do I get revenge to finally stop feeling this awful feeling like I can t do anything about the situation? How do I get my revenge? How do I finally get the feeling of satisfaction?

I'm talking specifically about a newborn or infant with parents who aren't in a relationship. People say "the father needs to be involved in their child's life." Yet when a father asks for shared custody or even overnight visits, he gets criticized for "trying to take the child away from the mother." When people ask for the father to be involved, do they really mean "the father needs to have a few hours a week and nothing more than that"? Can someone please explain what people actually want from the fathers in these situations?

To start off with, I'm 18, just graduated. I've got severe social anxiety in addition to being autistic. To be honest, even posting this question is enough to make me shake. But, I can't seem to find and resources about this besides "just ask them!". I can't ask my parents for anything. I'm on good terms with both of them, and besides the occasional misunderstanding spat, we pretty much never argue. But even though I'm very comfortable around them, even just asking them to pick up necessities at the store makes me have panic attacks. There's been times where I've needed medical products (gauze, medical tape.) because I was post-surgery, and I went 3 days using folded up tissues and scotch tape instead in order to avoid asking for anything. While it's not a necessity, there's a game that I've been wanting to buy for a while now, but since I don't have a paypal or a credit card (mostly just because I've never had a "real" job), I can't buy it without going through them. I have more than enough money, and I plan to immediately give them the cash for it. In essence, I will be paying for it, just through their account. But the issue is that I can't seem to make myself ask them for permission. While I'd appreciate advice for this situation, I'd mainly like to know how to get around this in the future. I know this is something I should ask my therapist, but I don't have an appointment for another 3 weeks and I'd just like to see some outside opinions. Thanks in advance!

In this case it is my Mom.

My parents keep me locked up ALL DAY. And I don't mean "I don't get to go out with my friends after school" or "my parents won't let me go to a party". I'm homeschooled, so I don't even get to go to school. So I'm literally inside 24\7. And I think I might be going insane, because sometimes it looks like things are moving (and I know it's not ghosts because the things moving are not things they would even want. Seriously, why would they want my dirty sock?). They also make me do most of the work taking care of my younger siblings. I know they're not overprotective, because my sister threw a largish rock at me and they told me to shut up and go away. Is this abuse, or is this normal?

I'm 27 years old and my parents constantly talk down to me. For example, I called my father to let him know I went out onto our patio and the wind blew the door closed and locked me out of the house. He started screaming at me saying "what's wrong with you?! Do you have issues?!? Why wouldn't you always bring your keys with you every place you go?!" I explained to him I was on the patio and he told me I was a total and complete idiot and hung up the phone." As I've gotten older and been out on my own I'm starting to think my parents may be a bit "emotionally" abusive. I've witnessed other family dynamics and none of the other parents speak down to their kids. I'm constantly my whole life I've been asked "what's wrobf with you?" "Are you stupid?" "Your an idiot." Etc. is this a normal way that families talk to each othe?

She says this whenever the hurt her divorce and her alienating me from my Dad caused me

So every year my family takes our boat and goes from Lake St. Clair up to Mackinac but it is generally me, my brother, my mom, and my step dad. My sister has been estranged from the family for about three years now but has since decided that she is going to try to reconcile with the family. This is fried and all and I don't want to get into anything personal but my sister has apologized to everybody but myself and it kind of hurts my feelings. Anyway, she's going on the trip and I am sincerely considering not going. The trip up to Mackinac is a long one and though my parents have a big boat with three bedrooms( the math obviously presents a problem) , but I do not want to be cooped up in a cabin or a bedroom for a couple days. We all remember camping when we were younger that is essentially what this is essentially camping but there is nowhere to go, you are surrounded by water. At the end of the day, I don't want to make things awkward for anyone and I don't want there to be tension on a joyous occasion. I could always spend the holiday with my girlfriend's family. * fine and all NOT fried at all

I hate my mom. All she does is make me hate myself and remind me of everything I do wrong. I started cutting a few months back and she ended up finding out a month ago. When she did find out she just told me how it was my fault and that I had problems and that she would call the cops on me. She was the reason I started in the first place. Now she's making me move to live alone with her and I can't do it. I already started cutting again behind everyone's backs. she and my grandma are the only ones who knew I cut in the first place. My mom just said in front of everyone that I need the therapy and that my little secret would be out if I kept being an asshole. I really don't know what to do. There's no way out of this. I don't want to live with my dad because he was never there and my mom ruined my life. Just when I thought she actually cared she proved me wrong. This is why I can't trust or love. So if you were me what would you do? I'm afraid she's going to tell everyone and I'll be treated like differently.
