First off, I have my driver's license, but because I don't have a job, so I can't insure myself with my dad's car to drive around. Even if I did have a job to pay, my dad wouldn't let me drive his car. He'd rather me have my own car. He used to tell me that I'm sitting at home all day playing games, and now when I ask him to take me out somewhere, he refuses because he's lazy. He says I doesn't have patience to go out. The most he will do is go to this nearby shawarma place and get us food, then he'll drive back home. One of my cousins who lives 5 mins away from me by drive, he always has plans sundays, but he usually takes his wife and kids out. When we hung out a few times, he used to drive out of the city with a few friends kite flying or something. None of them are my age, but we all get along like good friends. I'm 20, his friends range from 30+ years of age. Now he always has plans with his wife and kids. Meanwhile my dad tells me if there is no reason to go out, why bother. He sits and watches tv all day. I'm going to die of boredom being at home. I can only walk, and I get tired of walking, especially with the winter weather were getting in Canada now. I like getting rides. I get enough of a walk when going to the nearby plaza for coffee. Any help? Everyone always has plans on sundays. My sisters go out with their friends, my mom goes to work, my relatives live in a different city but they always go out eating and shopping and so on.

My boyfriends dad passed away years ago and I never gave much thought to it. He doesn't like talking about it so we don't bring it up. He was on Facebook showing me pictures of his dad the other day and today I wanted to go see those pictures again. I found his mom on Facebook and saw her posting about a different man passing away last year. I just found out through Facebook that my boyfriends baby sister is just his half sister and her father passed away last year too. Should I ask him why he never told me about his sisters dad or wait for him to tell me. We have been to gather for 4 months and don't know why he didn't tell me. We tell eachother everything I thought. Sorry if you don't understand the story. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

wedneday I found out that my new med I got had to go in the fridge, and I did not want it in my parents fridge as 1 there is not much room in there and 2 I did not want my parents to see the meds I got. so I was looking for a mini fridge so that I can keep my meds in there and some other things as well. well I found one on walmarts website and on a yard sale site. I talked to my mom about it and I said Walmart was 37.0 and used was 40.00 and she said not much dif between used and new price wise so go get used one, well yesterday I went and got it and stepdad chimed in about it and asked cost of both and I said and he said u had to used? and my mom said some friends you have they let u buy the used mini fridge without being there for u and making sure u knew what u were doing and I said well mom I talked to u about it and said prices and u said go for used one so I did and she said oh u must have talked to me when I was zoned out so it does not count that u talked to me about it. so is pissed that I got it, then in store I was low on money and had to get allergy bedding and ear drops and she yelled at me telling mem that I did not need all of that now and some of it could wait till I had money and that I went so many years without so why is now so important? and today she wanted to see mini fridge and I did not want her to see my meds so I said no no no it is just lack and she stormed off all pissed cause I would not let her see my mini fridge, why was she rude to me? I took my meds out of the fridge and hid them from her and showed her the fridge and said sorry I was trying to do homework and all u can see it now and she said no I do not want to see it and I said yes come see it, and she said oh u should not have it plugged in if nothing in it so I came back to room and it was unplugged I think she unplugged it when I was not looking. she acts like it is my fault for her being zoned out and will not own up to the fact that I talked to her about it. now my mom asked whe I last washed my hair saying that my friends are not doing a good job or making sure my hair is washed and I said I washed I the day and she said no u did not and she said u did not brush it either and I said yes I did and she said no u did not wash it at all I do not believe u and I said fine believe what u want but I am not lying and she was looking at me like yeah right I know u lying

the girls father isn't in her life anymore, her mother doesn't really support it but is happy for her, and the guys parents are nothing but supportive. so if the parents witness it it's ok?

He and I broke up 2 months ago and I started going to church and found him staring at me 2 weeks in a row so I texted him but he said he was offended which is why it wouldn't work and why he wouldn't allow himself to have feelings for me again. I didn't respond. I've been going to church since then it's been almost a month, and he continues to constantly stare at me to the point that my friends and family notice. What does this mean? does he still have feelings? friends and family say he stares

I don't know where else to ask to question, so I'm asking it here. I live in the state Virginia. When I was in elementary to middle school, my dad would abuse me for no reason at all. I was a really good kid, in fact with the physical abuse I was too scared to even walk in front of him or even breathe, so I've always stayed away from him by locking myself in my room, only coming out when necessary. He would punch, choke, slam, push, pull my hair, slap me and you name it. All for just existing. My mother would just stand there and watch, she never called the cops. I don't know why she didn't. Now to the present, he hasn't laid a hand on me because he knows I'm capable of defending myself, but he has threatened to hit me, Now he yells at me and screams until I'm in tears. But I want him to pay, I can't stand the fact that he has abused my entire family emotionally and physically and has gotten away with it. It bothers me everyday. I would like to know if there's anything I can do about this now, or is it too late? If there is something I can do, please leave details. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have kids with friends that you have wanted to tickle their feet really bad? Be honest if you have or wanted to.

I m 15 ffs and my parents seem to think I m 8 for some reason. They don t let me go on my computer or anything past 8pm because apparently "I can t self regulate" and "there s no reason to go on it that late". It s not even late. If I told people at school that I have to turn it off that early they d laugh in my face. I m a smart student, predicted mostly 8s in my GCSEs. They claim that I go on it all day every day even though today I spent a fair bit of time revising and stuff. When I try to convince them to stop treating me like a child they just laugh and tell me off for "trying to start an argument". I just want them to realise that I should be old enough to decide these sorts of things and I should be given more independence.

My 9 yr/o younger sister has autism and ADHD. I understand that she is unable to control that. My mom and I never talk, spend time together, or have a relationship. My sister always intervenes if I speak to her. I've tried talking to her, but she insists that my mom does not love me, I'm adopted, or I should just accept it because I am a middle child. My two other siblings (16 and 19) seem to not have the same problem. The last time my mom and I ever bonded or had an actual conversation was when I was about ten, going into fifth grade. That was years ago. My dad pays attention to me (my parents are divorced). I've tried talking to him, but he can't do anything. I don't think talking to my mom will help. In the past, she doesn't change or just yells at me and blames me for the problem. I have no idea what I can do anymore.

They are going to a town an hour away. I asked them if they can avoid going but my dad needs to renew his car insurance, they want to visit my cousin they haven/t seen for 2 months and want to leave flowers on my grandma's tomb at the cemetery. I am in the US and they are in Italy and I know other drivers drive like nuts there. What can I do? Nobody will drive them and they won't take a taxi cause the town is an hour away. I was with them last summer and my dad was driving OKish, but he was doing curves a bit too fast and had to tell him to slow down. Am I over worrying? I already asked them if there was another option to avoid driving there, but my mom said no.

My Mom is out of town.

My Mom used me as a pawn against my father when I was a kid in their divorce. I lived in the shame of hearing my Mom tell me my Dad didn't want a relationship with me or he would have tried to fix the marriage. My Mom was f..cked up. She remarried and said my new Dad was my step-Dad. He is a good guy but I wanted my real Dad. Now many-many years later those wounds open at the holidays. My Dad has died but his family is still alive. They usually don't ask me as they don't know me as well cause of my parents' divorce. When I am not asked I feel the dark-dark shame of being an unwanted child or forgotten. At Christmas I take a gift around and all but one of the relatives are welcoming. I used to try too hard and it turned people off so I don't take something around at Thanksgiving also as my Dad's family is relatively private. At Thanksgiving I feel all the wounds of my Mom's emotionally abusive behavior when I was a kid. I have no friends and so family is all I have. My anxiety from emotional abuse in school is such that I am uncomfortable making friends. I sound like a victim but what I am looking for is advise to overcome this. I have a step-father who is totally irritated if I show any sign of holiday anxiety. He was sympathetic when I was a teen but thinks all anxiety leaves at your 21st birthday. My mother is not nearly as emotionally abusive as she was now that my Dad has died but she still has bias' against my Dad' family.

He used to sympathize with me. Now he just ignores me if I am nervous about something but in all fairness I am 30 and not 10. I live on my own but he sees me two or three times a month.

I feel it is not my battle but my Dad feels it is and wants me to make a statement against the aunt (my Mom's sister). She wrote a long email to everyone telling us how bad her son is and emailed it to her two daughters and all her nieces and nephews in her family. I think she also has gotten her husband's family involved. My Dad has my Mom's toxic behavior of getting me involved. I wish I didn't have to get involved but I am criticized by my parents whenever I associate with his aunt or her allies. My Mom used to do this in a toxic manner but now it has robbed off on my Dad. They are the same parents who grounded me from all family holidays as a kid because of a feud in my Dad;s family and my Mom told me "they don't want to know us" thus traumatizing me as they did want to know us and we failed them. So my question is what statement should I make to this aunt I am supposed to confront. I am 32 and extremely anxious 24/7 largely cause of my toxic parents. I live on my own and try to avoid going to their house when I can.

I'm 18, I get straight A's, have always been top of my class and never get into any sort of trouble. My dad never lets me go out with friends or with my boyfriend of one year. Often times when I do want to go out its just to eat or to the movies, never to parties or anything of the sort. It's like he doesn't trust me, but I've never given him any reason not to. Any advice to help change my situation?

i dated this guy for a 12 years... i broke up with him because he was starting to be rude, he wouldn't be there fore me...he would emotionally abuse me, he wouldn't commit...three weeks after we broke up, there was a bad hurricane that happened in TX....so i just sent him a text message and said ....i hope you and your family were safe during the hurricane....and he said yeah I'm ok but you dont need to text me anymore...im talking to someone else.... and i said well thats very mean of you to say that to me..i said you probably talked to someone else all along thats why you tortured me all that time so i would leave on my own...and he said leave me alone and stop texting me...and then he told me to **** off..... i couldn't sleep for 2 days and i felt like the biggest piece of **** on earth for even reaching out to him..... i felt very insecure and i felt like a dumb *** for having this big heart for him......anyway he is now with this girl and happy as ever according to his social media posts...this girl already has an engagement ring..he is in his mid 30s and she is in her very early 20s...and i feel low about myself because i hung on for such a long time... i feel like that i can't forgive myself for reaching out, i am very angry at myself and this should have ended a long time ago...honestly i can't believe that I'm in the spot that i am now....i feel like there is a battle going inside of myself for being that stupid and caring

I am an university student and I have a flatmate so we can share the bills. I am not poor, but i have 2 younger siblings and my parent do not make as much money as they used to so its difficult for them to take care of a 4 member family, send about €600 to me each month and pay the house loan. (i study abroad) I tried to get a part time job so i can at least pay my rent and bills, but the country that I am studying is bankrupt and I cant find a job. I had an offer to work at clubs tho but my parents wont approve. When I go back to my country I work for 3 months during summer time. I have a few money saved up from my last summer job and If I work three more months I can take care of my self economically speaking for a year. And by doing so I can release my family from one member so it will be easier for my parents. The other day I was talking with my younger sister and she was feeling sad because our parents could not afford to buy her new clothes and she feels like she does not fit in, I felt like I was the one to blame for, because since I am 19 I should be able to take care of myself and not depend on my parents. Now my friend group is EXTREMELY outgoing, they go for coffees, clubs & road trips, I dont mind them every now and then but it's every single week! And lately I am not so outgoing, I rather stay at home and study because I wont spend money and by studying I will archive my goals. My friends dont seem happy about it and I feel left out. I don't want to tell them whats going on, I know it may sound silly but I can't be like hey I can afford it but I just don't want to because I want to help my parents out. The are on the wealthy side and they won't get it. Any advice is acceptable. Thank you xx P.S: I just can't get away with it because one my my closest friends of the group is my roommate

I'm 15, and I live at home (obviously). It's my mom, stepdad, sister(27 years old), nephew, and I. My sister's 5 year old son has destroyed about $60 worth of stuff. From pouring gorilla glue on my sheets to smearing makeup on my floor and walls. He obviously knows better at this age. I think I should payed back for the stuff that was dumped out or destroyed. I don't think it's fair that I have to go out a buy new things with my own money that her child destroyed. She thinks she does not own me anything because I left my items, which were in my room, in his reach. I feel like even though I leave bins of makeup or art supplies on my floor, he does not have the right to destroy my things.Who is right?

so i found a little dime bag of some gas in my parents drawer and a couple of ghetto tin foil pipes, they have told me weed runs in the fam but they dont do it so.. i said i smelled it and they denied it so what do I do cause I found the tinfoil pipe first on the floor and went searching cause it smelled like weed in the pipe. why df are my parents smoking out of ghetto tinfoil pipes anyways they ghetto asf.

My youngest brother is two and I love him with all my heart. For some reason though, he only wants to be near my mom, dad, grandma or aunt. Sometimes he won't cry if he's by me but most of the time he doesn't like to be near me. My mom says its because he still has to get used to me but I'm not sure because my other brother when he was 2, was always so attached to me. It's not fair to compare them though of course. Is this normal?

I despise her, i dont want to list all the sh.it i dislike about her. All i want is for her to leave me alone, just stay away from me. Part of me cant outright say it to her because i know its mean. But i wont be pretending i can't pretend to love her when i dont, and i cant force this sisterhood its just not with us.

I am really jealous. She is 12 and I am 15. No one notices me anymore and when they see me it is "how is your sister". I am tired of it. I can't say it to anyone or obviously I will be seen as the world's worst narcissist or at least self-centered person.

I few years ago i was 21 and i began to date a 18 year old. She was very immature. We soon broke up because she wouldn't want to have sex at all. She claimed to be a virgin and we stopped dating. We dated for almost a year. Now today 4 years later we started talking again. She's been getting jealous off other girls i talk to. On top of things she sent me a meme on instagram how all guys want sex 24/7. I replied with i do want sex from you and she replied with "hahahahah not happening boy". In this case could she still be a virgin then??????

I moved out a while ago out of desoeration almost I lived under the roof of a toxic parent who was very controlling and bossy. Would make my life hell too and always got me to work for them instead of have my own life. Why do I keep dreaming I am back as an adult. I feel screwed and cannot wait to get out or say no. Even in my dream I am yelling at them saying how this is a nightmare.

Tonight, my mom had a conversation with me. She said she is very disappointed in me. When her friends ask what I am doing with my life, she doesn't know what to say and is embarrassed. When I was in high school, I was very driven, I got good grades, but I was not accepted to any university and I was crushed. She had dreams about me going to college and being successful. I went to a CC for a while and got a degree that is not worth anything. I suffer from, I think, severe depression where I cannot get up in the morning and I feel unmotivated which is not like me. I really want to get into the medical field (working in a hospital is ideal for me) but I don't know where to begin as I have an Associate's in English. I'm her 25-year-old daughter. My mom doesn't work and has health issues. My mom is stressed too because we all live together right now, she had to move in with her ex-husband a few years back so it's my dad, mom, two brothers, and I living together. She even thought maybe at this age, I could get my own apartment so that she could move in with me and she feels ashamed and that I deceived her by saying that I was majoring in medical when I wasn't. I almost get the feeling she had a plan all along to use me financially. I don't know about deceived her, but I could see her disappointment. I'm worried too because my dad is sick right now and I am working crappy retail jobs. My dad thinks I'm regressing when I should be growing up. How should I feel about this?

They ban me from seeing anyone they are bitter towards and if I do anyway and they find out they dig into me. As a kid my mother was downright abusing me this way. As an adult she is a lot better and my Dad is now the one to do it. I am 32 so they obviously don't hold me back anymore but my Dad and sometimes my Mom flip when I see one of their enemies in the family if they find out. I am dreading Thanksgiving as they will use me as a pawn. They ruined my childhood with this.

My father who lives in a different state has a wife. She doesn't like me and she doesn't even know me. They both have a son together and I want him to be a dad to me but I don't want to get in the way of anything. He missed out years of my life and I just wanted him for the couple years left of my childhood. I've already talked to him and nothing. I've tried to move on but it keeps haunting me when I see kids and their fathers play around because I saw the chance I missed out on when I was little. I don't know what to do all my life I wanted a father but doesn't seem like my father wants me. Please help me. ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.0.03

suburb.Never pocket money.Only strict rules and studying.No friends,nothing.Are these good parents?

My sister who is almost 40, still lives at home with my parents and get free food from them yet she treats them with disrespect and don't even clean her own dishes. My parents won't kick her out because they're overprotective and don't want their useless daughter to be homeless. She also doesn't listen to anything my parents say.

I'm an exchange student in a foreign country and I've been here for several months now. I've been feeling bad for a long long time and I told my parents but my mom literally wrote "You are killing us both with stress but if that's what you want them carry on but you wont have any parents to come back to because we'll both be dead". All I did was tell her that I feel extremely depressed here even though I've made an effort and she keeps on telling me to make an effort and stay here even though I feel like I can't cope anymore and if I'm forced to I wan't to just get rid of myself to be honest. Yes, maybe it sounds over the top. But that's how bad I feel. I'm literally getting sick both physically and mentally from this. I told my parents so they know. And yes I feel so terrible for wanting to come home because they paid so much. But It's like the only thing that matters to them is that they paid a lot for it and that they're worried about what my aunts and uncles will think etc. But I doubt that they give a **** about my well being because otherwise they would know that there have been several warning signs that I'm in an extremely bad position right now and they would let me come home asap. I don't know what to do. I'm so done and so lost. Help.

My daughter is with a boy who has constantly cheated on her and came back to her. My daughter is 16 and her boyfriend keeps cheating because she doesn't want to lose her virginity yet. I don't know why she just doesn't leave. I don't know if I should get involved. I've noticed my daughter to stop leaving the house and she all of a sudden lost 30 pounds. I found out she was throwing up her food. I try to talk to her about it and she never wants to. I don't understand why she is still with him.

I found a dildo in my daughters room. I don't know if I should confront her, throw it away, or just leave it alone. My daughter is not 18 either. I have no idea how she got it.

I got into a big fight with my dad about me going to a football game. He repeatedly told me no and I just couldn't accept the fact that I couldn't go and that it was Senior Night. He hung up on me after I told him that I hated him. Now he tells me to not talk to him since he feels broken after I said those thee dreaded words. I ended up not going and I became bitter. The reason why my dad didn't want me to go was because recently I did something wrong and that he wanted me to keep a low profile. But I desperately wanted to see my friends. I hated him for not letting me go and that I had to suffer watching my friends have fun through snapchat. I hate my dad so much I wanted to attack him in rage. But I couldnt

I asked them if they can avoid going but my dad needs to renew his car insurance, they want to visit my cousin they haven/t seen for 2 months and want to leave flowers on my grandma's tomb at the cemetery. I am in the US and they are in Italy and other drivers drive like nuts there. What can I do? Nobody will drive them and they won't take a taxi cause the town is an hour away. I was with them last summer and my dad was driving OKish, but he was ding curves a bit too fast.

My step dad drinks once per month and sometimes something bad happens. So my today my stepdad bought a pack of beer which had 12 beer bottles and when he drinks he wants more my mom tries to stop but it ends with yelling and my step dad leaving the house and then coming back a day later. He went homeless for a day once he gets kicked out. I'm actually now tired of this and I get sad what to do? Also he asked for 15 thousand dollars every time he gets drunk

His Ex ended up leaving him randomly and he says that he didn't see it coming and he was very depressed. We started noticing paper plates, razors and some white powder residue on the plates so obviously cocaine. Hes my cousin and is rooming with me after the break up, I feel so bad what should we do ? he is so broken.

I'm 21 my sister is almost 25 she's crazy about me we have 2 older brothers and one younger brother me and her are really close she's my best friend besides my girlfriend. She said I'm her favorite brother and if we weren't related she'd marry me. She has a huge crush on me she won't leave me alone. When she's sick or she's scared to go to sleep or shes upset she asks me to stay with her. She said she feels safe with me. She's got 2 young kids she's married me and my girlfriend are engaged I don't know why she keeps hanging around me. I know her husband he's really nice. My girlfriend thinks it's sweet that I care about her so much. She watched a scary movie last night she's not sure if she can sleep she wants me to sleep with her. She said she even cries over me. How can I help her get over this crush ? Is this normal ?

She hardly contributes in household chores. The only thing she does is eating, and sleeping. I do a lot of household stuff from cleaning to cooking. She hardly cooks. My family staves the day it's her turn to cook. It just boils my blood when she orders me to do something. And when I say something mean she complains to mom. She is also becoming fatter day by day because she eats so much. How to react to her?

I'm 19 and my parents absolutely hate the man I'm seeing. Hate him. I have an absolutely amazing relationship with him, although he's 28, and they are in complete denial that I'm with him. My parents are 10 years apart as well, but they have assumptions (which is understandable) and don;t like him based on the fact that he has a felony DWI. However, my simple friendship with him has caused such a strain on our relationship, that my mother begs me to get him out of my life and cries constantly. Since then, they've kicked me out, took half of my clothes, and refuse to pay for my college tuition. I need to find a job asap and need to buy a car once I get the money. This is absolutely killing me. He's very understanding, and is taking me so I can buy a new phone after my dad smashed it, but that's another expense I need to pay and am living with a friend of mine currently, in a mobile home, with six people in total. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So my dad is something else everybody hates him, i hate him especially and he doesnt let me do anything that other parents let other kids do such as go to ther people's houses. He doesn't care about me at all, only really when it comes to education. He's never asked me how im doing and always fights with me and my mother. I recently started liking art and i've been told im really good at it and i feel that im genuinly good at it and he would rip up any drawings that i might spend all night on. He will legit be s rude and even on the weekends all im allowed to do is wrk on my schoolwork. theres no time for me to be myself. I've been more depressed. I want to be an astrophysist or a astronomist but the only thing im allowed to be is a doctor my mother hates everyone too and i cant talk to anybdy

My daughter s father went to Jail in April this year. I struggled financially and ended up working at a nightclub. At the time we used to live with his mother. She would usually take care of my daughter while I was at work. While working at the nighclub two months later I met a guy and told my daughters father that we needed to end because I liked someone else. Never married him legally. His mother had all of my belongings outside and told me I had to leave. I begged her for me to stay that I had no where to go to please just let me stay until I find a place for my daughter and I. She said I had to go but she would take care of my daughter in the meantime. I was able to get a place almost two weeks later. I went to pick-up my daughter and she didn't give me my daughter and that she had temporary custody. Went again with a police officer and the same thing again. There was a pending case and they couln't give me my daughter. She has threatened me but I can't do much since she didn't know it was recoding. Many times she asked me to give her money in return she would give me my daughter back. It has been a while and I recently I was a victim of domestic violence. I was with him on the road since the abuser was a truck driver. I had to petition a lawyer to do a motion of continuence due to the invident happening outside the state. I currently live with a family member and they're helping with my recovery and willing to take care of my daughter too. I have court in two week.

your kid will not be able to enjoy life to the fullest and will have to work until retirement age, if social security does not run out before then. Working 40 hours a week is not high quality living and neither is living on a budget. Why do parents want to bring their kids in the world, if they have to work 40 years or all their life if they die before retirement. medical bills also increase every year, that means less money for luxuries why would you want this for your kids?

I know that some children sexualize themselves as they hit puberty anyways, but child beauty pageants are exploitive. Some parents force their daughters into them at 2 years old. Money is involved and those parents do anything to try making those girls win. They became illegal in France. It doesn't benefit the child, just their parents. Studies have shown that these pageants are unhealthy and are harmful to the child's overall development. I've met a few girls who were in pageants under the age of 18. They feel like they must be all "pretty" and "perfect" to be loved. They were taught that the most beautiful person gets the best treatment since they were babies.

He and I broke up 2 months ago and I started going to church and found him staring at me 2 weeks in a row so I texted him but he said he was offended which is why it wouldn't work and why he wouldn't allow himself to have feelings for me again. I didn't respond. I've been going to church since then it's been almost a month, and he continues to constantly stare at me to the point that my friends and family notice. What does this mean? does he still have feelings? friends and family say he stares

I know a lower class family with financial instability. They're putting their toddler in beauty pageants for money. These contests sexualize children so much. Fake "adult" body features, dirty dance moves, and promiscuous behaviours are often seen in children. There's plenty of services that help poor individuals get better and they can already provide the basic needs. I'm concerned about this child's well-being. There was this murder of Jon Benet Ramsey in the 90's as well. They dressed her like an old-fashioned woman and not a little girl. It's possible that a pedophile could've done this to her. These beauty pageants truly seem unethical and even a pedophile's dream. Should I report this to CPS?

I'm 15 and have 1 brother and 3 sisters. I have been taking care of my sibling, like changing their diapers, changing them, and feeding them since my first sister was born and I was 9. My parents work a lot so since I'm the oldest I have to take care of them and clean the house when they are gone. They blame me for everything wrong that my siblings do like " aren't you watching them?" "Why don't you put attention". Like I said my parents work so much so I barely hang out with my friends and I'm always at the house. I feel so frustrated because they expect me to do things like have the house clean when they come and help them with their hw. Sometimes it's so frustrating that I begin to cry. Am I over reacting or what?

Sorry for any mistakes but I'm from Germany so English is not my first language. I'm a single father of a 15-year-old daughter . She came to live with me when she was almost six, after being extremely abused by her mother, who lost custody for being negligent and very violent . Until then I did not know I had a daughter and at the first day together I realized that even so little she was already very traumatized. I did my best to help and give her the best opportunities to heal. I used to spend nights awake with her bc she was too afraid to sleep because of her nightmares and during the day anything could trigger a flashback or a panic attack which would make her shut down and not allow anyone but me near her for hours. The abuse was such that she even developed eating disorders at the age of 8 that according to her psychologist was a way of her gaining control over her body. However, after a few years things were way better to the point where I started to think everything would be fine. But these last few weeks were very difficult for her and on Monday when I came home from work I found her drowned in the hot tub. I've never been so desperate on my whole life, I don't wish that to anyone. For a second I thought my daughter was dead and the fear I felt.. there's nothing like that . Thanks god i got an ambulance on time and now she's fine. But I do not know what to do, I'm so afraid of losing her. Please help me, I'm totally helpless.

It was a person who was important to me but I never can see them again its on my mind all the time and it really breaks my heart

These past couple of months have been a little more than hard for me. I need help trying to figure out if what I'm choosing to do is a good idea, so for the past 3 months I've back and forth to my mom and dad's house. I hate it, my mom's an alcoholic and she's very aggressive when she drinks my dad (who I've just met about 3 months ago is a very paranoid and and cautious man) doesn't trust me. I was staying with him for a bit, but one day he asks to see my phone, he explains to me that he needed to see it in order for him to completely trust me. The reason I agreed to stay at his house (my great grandma's house to be accurate, but she's actually 99 years old) was because 1. My mom was repeatedly kicking me out for no reason 2. I got a cool job in LA and my mom is staying in the inland Empire so the commute was better. Anyways I told him that him seeing my phone wasn't a problem but the fact that he thought that it would make him trust me more was. I didn't let him and he put me out. Back to the future I'm at my mom's house and things are ok. I'm just thinking about renting a room and at the same time starting my business am I making the right decision by not showing my dad my cell phone. I have nothing to hide it's just me and him are strangers and building trust doesn't happen like that

I'm 14, and when my mom goes shopping she says she won't be out long and then she comes back like 5 hours later and she tells me that she was with her boyfriend. And when I was 12, my mom wouldn't come back home until after midnight so I was left home alone all the time several days a week.
