I feel sad I am the 2nd rate family member. Christmas my Dad and I will be the only ones in town and so the big family celebration was Thanksgiving. It was spur of the moment planning so my Mom said nothing would be going on and then Thanksgiving Eve I was out of town and it was decided to do a celebration. I am 22 and a guy, I like family time though. My parents divorce caused me to miss a lot of family celebrations. Christmas will be low key with just my Dad and I so Thanksgiving was the family holiday for the year.

My sons girlfriend (only 15 years old 😬) gave birth to a baby girl 6 days ago. She's been living with us for about 7 months now and has no contact with her own family. I am legally responsible for her. She has never been keen on the idea of me spending any money on her, even on essential items. Recently I went out and brought her some nursing bras, comfy clothes and a few other new mom bits and pieces. She gave it all back. My sister has said it's not my issue anymore, I've tried and she won't accept so I need to move on, but I don't see it that way. Just yesterday she was crying and it took her about 30 minutes to tell me that the reason she was crying was because her nipples were sore and she had a prescription from her doctor for cream, but didn't have any money to buy it. Obviously I went out and got it for her, and she did accept but very uncomfortably. I know that without what I brought her she doesn't have any nursing bras or clothes that fit/are easy to nurse in. I wish she'd just take it. This girl is my responsibility and I want her to be comfortable and have what she needs. I know she's only declining as she feels awkward accepting, not because she doesn't need/want what I'm giving her. She hasn't really left her room since the baby was born, and I know that part of that is because she feels uncomfortable... Can anyone help me out with some advice here please?

I'm a seventeen year old male and i'm saveing up for a sex change when I'm 18... I know i can get the money somehow... and I KNOW that I want to do this... I always have... I told my mother and a fe councilors and a close friend... my mom didn't get mad or upset, and i fear my father's wrath (he might disown me ({:^( )... and my sisters and their judgement, and my cousins scorn... what should i do???

I'm 18 and working 2 jobs to help save for my freshman tuition for college in new York city. My parents have always expected a lot from my growing up, but it's getting to a point where I'm getting too tired. My father always comes to me to pay his bills. Electric Bill, phone Bill, etc. My mom is constantly getting me to watch my 8 brothers and sisters for her. On a daily basis, I get a call or text from my mom forcing me to go over and watch the kids. She makes me feel guilty. If I say No, she stops speaking to me for periods of time. My parents say that if I "keep it up" they will start charging me rent. Even though I pay for my own bills and my dad's bills.... any advice? I've gotten a lot of anxiety recently. I just can't wait to move away from my parents. Any advice?

I am a 16 year old guy and I need some advice on whether I should run away. First off, I know how dangerous and stupid it is and how I'm probably wasting my life and all that so I don't need anyone telling me that. It's not that my parents are terrible or anything. The problem is that I can't follow rules. I live in a super Christian religious home and my parents have a TON of rules and restrictions. But like I said, I'm not very good at following rules. There has been a lot of friction lately because I keep breaking rules and getting in trouble and keep doing it over and over again and my parents keep clamping down more and more because of it. I'm so ready to live on my own and have freedom for once in my life and so I really want to run away. I am a very smart, resourceful person and I have no doubt that I would be able to get out of the state and make a life for myself. However, I know that if I do run away, it will hurt my family. And I do love my family but I just can't keep living this way. So I need some advise, do I keep living this miserable life until I turn 18? Or do I just say **** it to my family and run away?

Sono fidanzata con un ragazzo da 8 mesi, tra un po' è il suo compleanno ed ho scoperto che lo festeggerà insieme agli amici (solo maschi), l'ho saputo tramite la madre ed appena me l'ha detto ci sono rimasta...non riesco a capire come lui non mi renda partecipe nel giorno del suo compleanno , ci sono rimasta tanto male. Sono io esagerata a rimanerci male ? Aiutatemi a capire .

I live with my mom and my brother and we see my dad on Monday's and he drives a Lexus but since he doesn't use it much he's giving it to my brother for $300 a month. He just won an Audi 2009. His girlfriend is from Venezuela and she's coming to the US and they're getting married so that she can stay and he's giving the car to her. What made it worse is that he's give one to each of us but since she's coming he's giving it to her.

I made a joke about suicide, "Im about to Kermit" and my father saw it. he is so upset and he doesn't even think that maybe I did that because I'm extremely depressed and suicidal. So, my dad got super mad at me for it and took away my phone He read through it in front of me. Now, I sort of talk bad about my dad to my friends online, so he saw that and got even more mad. He will scream in my face when I'm clearly having a panic attack. He always asks why I never tell him things and why I always tell my friends. I don't tell him things because he just makes it worse and yells at me. So, now I am without a phone, and my parents are super mad at me. I don't know what to do, I'm lost.

My mother can be very intolerable, rude, disrespectful and a liar, She has issues admitting when she's wrong and must always have one up on everything. As long as she is control, life can sh*t rainbows. Her controlling and manipulative behavior has seeped it's way into my parenthood. I have a 1 year old baby girl and my mother tries and use her against me to get me to do what she always feel is right. She calls me a crappy parent because she disagrees with having her father watch her 2-3 days of the week when his work schedule allows it. She claims that my child will grow up hating me and unhappy because she's not with me 24/7. I'm not rational enough or good enough for my daughter and so on... Just so you people know, before my daughter got here, she kept calling her a mistake, a burden, something that needed to be aborted.... My tolerance will only go so far! I told my brother that once I move out (again) I will not make an effort to keep in contact with her. I don't care if she never see her grandchild again, her behavior is something I will not tolerate and she needs to understand that I have my limits. He called me a b*tch and that I was making a bad choice. Because she is our mother, I should be okay with it he says. He does not have kids so he does not understand just how wrong this all is or how toxic she can be.

what should I do I'm crying

Because my brother will at home getting something called an enema.

I didn't listen to them, and I married an Caucasian husband. I couldn't ask for better husband. He is loving, and caring person. I am an Asian. It's been now after 10 year of being married to this wonderful person. My father still seems to not accept him as my husband. I know that I can't force them to get along. I want to get an idea about how to get both of them get to know each other, and hopefully my father will open up to him. I appreciate any advice you could give me.

I became a vegan and I love spicy food and have decided we are a vegan sugar free family.My husband says the food and yelling aggravates his ulcers and incarcerated hernia. and the older kids follow suit. It is ruining our marriage and the kids dread dinner and end up crying or leaving the table because dinner often turns into a screaming match. I feel rejected they won't be apart of my lifestyle. My husband takes their side and ungrounds the oldest ones for not eating my food and lets them eat at their friends houses or cook their own food or does not come to dinner period!The two oldest girls ,my husband and I are not speaking because I wanted them to eat vegan on thanksgiving and tried forcing them to eat vegan and everyone turned against me.We had a big screaming crying fight in front of everyone and the relatives all turned against me. Growing up you had to eat whatever **** my mom made and you weren't allowed to have more of what you loved and less of what you hated. My husband doesn't want to do this because his mom was forcefed and has an eating disorder and phobias of food. One relative calmly said she gets not wanting to be a short order cook ,but why not be on the days when everyone isn't home but if your over someone else's house where there is a buffet of food some especially made for the kids what is the big deal?

I online school so I'm at home all day. My Mom is really good at always trying to help me. My Dad does not try to help me, he thinks hes helping but hes just yelling. I sit in my room all day and pretend to do school just so he wont yell at me for not doing school but then i get yelled at for only ever doing school but when i try o take a break and go talk to people or get a snack or use the bathroom or do anything either then school he yells at me and starts asking me if all my work for the whole week (even if its Monday) is all done. When i say no he yells at me to get it done and it really hurts my feelings when he does that because I feel im being pushed away from everyone and that im not allowed to talk yo anyone. Its also not just with school for example yesterday my 4 year old brother banged his head really hard on the counter so my mom was cuddling with him and i was trying to make him smile and distract him from the pain and my brother got mad at me for it so i hear my dad from the basement yell DONT BOTHER HIM GO DO SCHOOL. I guess this is about school again but I cant even sit on the floor and play pass with my baby sister who is 1 without being yelled at, if i take longer then 2 minutes in the bathroom hes banging on the door trying to open the door with he locked door nob yelling through the door. I could keep going on but I'll run out of characters. what should i do?

I give her money for her birthday and Christmas too. I gave her $10 for her 10th birthday along with other gifts and I spoil the two of them every Christmas. She got jealous and snatched the money from her brother and so I gave him $10 since she stole his $5. I also gave him some frozen yogurt after dinner one night while she stayed back at home with dad and did her math homework. Every time I give him something she gets jealous or takes it from him. I told him today in front of her that he is a better child than her. She also had 2 Cs on her most recent progress report and he has all very satisfied marks on his grades. I just wish she didn't have this jealousy issue and that she was good like her brother. How can I stop her jealous outbursts? She embarrassed me at Olive Garden last night when the waitress gave her brother his food first and she had to wait 5 minutes for hers but she got her plate before her parents did because they waited 10 minutes after her (We had bad service).

I'm living with my mother and my twin. My twin and I are both 23. Last night I had asked if my brother's gf was staying late or staying over and continued to ask if it would be okay if I invited my partner over until she left. She said no, I said okay. This morning at 6 my brother's gf was here, my mother was up and they were all talking about me. My mother had accused me of accusing her of trying to stay over and that she needed "to get it off her chest" which is not what I said or implied. I'm just confused as to why she needed to bring it up to her? My mother HAS let her stay over numerous of times. I was living on my own and the 12 months which I was not there, she was there every week but the moment I come back, she wants to act like she never let it happened. [

I have a dad who physically, mentally abused me in the past growing up and an ex step mother who did the same. Finally after moving out later in life my dad realized how wicked she was and walked away,then remarried in two seconds flat. Ill be honest it was hard to forgive and let go, especially after he allowed her to treat me so badly, but he apologized after i walked away from him for almost a year. He claimed that parents made mistakes and I forgave him. Now while i am happy for him to find someone who seems to love him, her family is very unaccepting to new people. However I ve know them for five years now and they still say very little to me even when I speak to them at gatherings. I will say my step siblings are nice to me when they are drunk, I m like the ugly girl in the bar that they only like when they are trashed. So when I go I hate myself, feel miserable, the whole nine yards. now to add to it even more, I ve explained how I felt to my dad and he thinks that I m the problem and has chosen her and her family over me. So I just have dealt with it for the past few years, and just show up for my dad. He however doesn t speak to my husband and has little to do with my little girl and barely speaks to me. I told him all of this reluctantly before thanksgiving and he said I was a baby and needed to grow up. So I did not show up for thanksgiving and I m wondering about Christmas, should I go or should I just stay away?

So I'm a male who wants to be a stay-at-home parent in the future because I want to be a nurturer rather than a breadwinner. I've asked on here countless times if this is okay and people keep telling me that no woman is going to want a man like this. Now I'm starting to suffer from depression because I feel like my gender is keeping me from becoming the parent I want to be. What upsets me about this is that I didn't choose to be male, yet I feel like I'm having to suffer consequences because of it. I want to be a stay-home-parent more than anything and I fear it will never happen. Will I ever get to be the parent I want to be? How can I ensure that this happens?

I don't want to disrespect my uncle who visits every couple of months, but this is something I have been wanting for a while now. How do I come to terms with this dilemma?

My younger sister is 15 years old and has gone through some horrible abuse which included her stepmom forcing her into an illegal marriage at 14. Now she is pregnant and has been informed that the child will have down syndrome and multiple developmental disabilities. She never wanted any of this and just wanted to be a normal teenager. She wants to try to abort the baby by herself, but I'm not sure what to tell her regarding this. It could be dangerous, but I understand her pain and suffering right now. Should she just have the baby, or get an abortion? It's five months old.

My ex husband and I got divorced a few months after our son was born. At the beginning he only had visits with our son, but when our son turned two it got changed to shared custody. My son has always had a hard time going with his father. From the first visit. Now that he is getting older I feel like it s getting worst and harder to go to dad s house. He will tell his father that he doesn t want to go with him and he wants to stay at my house. I tell him that we both love him and we both need to spend time with him. Sometimes my son seems like he s very angry at his father and always tells me he doesn t want to go with him. This is very concerning to me because lagally there s nothing I can do and his father claims everything is always perfect when it s just the two of them. Yesterday one of the teachers asked if I could drop him off at school everyday(they didn t realize we are divorced) because our son is always crying and screwing and gets very anxious when dad drops him off. Which is never the case with me. He s so well behaved with me and always listens to me. If it s the 3 of us together he rather be with me than his father. I don t understand why he acts so we ll with me but is total opposite with his father. I had no idea drop offs with Dad were so bad. Is there something I am doing wrong? How can I help him?

My bro has a problem where he feels like if he does something he did back then, he will become ghetto like he used to be. And he also thinks that if he says it, then he has to say it again, or he will be cursed. following In his logic, that would only x2 the "Curse" if he does something strange, he feels hes in a another universe with a another family just like his following there every move. He also puts me through a test to see if my "The real evan"

My boyfriend takes "cigarette breaks" while he's over at my house. Thing is he doesn't smoke them where I can see him. He gets in his truck and because it's dark I can't see him. He comes back in and his eyes are glassed over and he talks slow. And I don't believe it's weed because his cravings are intense (he's willing to do this substance on my property while my parents are home, my mom being in law enforcement). My mother has voiced her concerns because he doesn't smell like cigarettes or weed. Could I be bringing a hard drug user around my family?

When our kids were younger, my 2 sons (from my first marriage) and his daughter (from a previous relationship) they had separate rooms. My boys slept in one room and his daughter had the other room. My oldest started getting into trouble when he was about 15 or 16 and my husband told him he had to go. He was getting suspended from school and arrested. He's 23 now and has a lengthy criminal record. Well, he moved in with my parents and that has been a rocky situation for them as well. My son and dad got into a major argument Thanksgiving morning and granddad put him out. My son ended up staying with a girl he now has pregnant. This will be his second child. She must still live with her parents so they told he couldn't stay there either so I told him he could come back home. My husband wasn't happy with that. I told him we'd give it a week. He wants him out now because he said that people are tired of dealing with his crap and lack of responsibility. Sunday night he slept in my other son's room since he was out for the night. Last night my other son came home so I told my older son he could sleep in my step-daughter's room since she was away at college. My husband said flat out no. That's her room and he didn't want to hear his daughter's mouth is something for missing or broke. I feel that since no one is in that room why can't he sleep in there? I then asked him where should he sleep and my husband said that we've got a queen sized air mattress he can put on the floor in his brother's room or in the living room but he was not about to sleep in his daughter's room. He ended up sleeping on the sofa. My husband said that if we make it too comfortable for him he'll never want to leave. My husband feels that I'm overstepping my bounds here but that's my son. Am I wrong?

My mom suddenly barged into my room and kneeled down in front of my chair, she grabbed my arm and she was like: "Tom, you can do it." (I'm using a fake name) Basically I have university applications and my parents expect a lot from me. But I kinda didn't do as well as they had expected so they never had ever said anything positive and we had this ongoing thing where my mom thought I wasn't going to get into anywhere they expected me to get into. But today she was different. She told me that everything was great and all I needed to do was maintain what I'm doing. And the thing is the way she said it was really creepy. Her eyes were like wide open and she talked in such an assertive tone and it's kinda creeping me out because she's never said anything positive about me and my schoolwork since like two years ago. What suddenly came through her? Is this normal?

so, i'm 16, f. and i live at home with my parents and siblings. i rarely leave the house, when i do it's ruined with negative energy exuded from my siblings and/or parents. i have no friends, i'm homeschooled. i'm not allowed to leave the house. i have little hobbies like watching youtube and tv shows but lately they just aren't helping. i'm starting to feel like i'm trapped in hell. i scoured the internet for tips on how to make the best of my particular situation however i couldn't find anything. whenever i attempt to make the best of my life my siblings discourage me. my childhood was already quite disappointing. and i want to make the most of my youth. if anyone has any idea how can i do that, or if anyone who can relate and has tips on how to cope and stop brooding then that would be helpful. for reference, lately what i find helps is meditation and having dance parties, thanks. online there are a lot of articles telling me to go on walks and to be flexible etc. which is good advice but right now in my life there is very little i'm able to do. i'm very inventive, i wouldn't resort to this unless i was at the end of my rope and desperate.

For the past 4 years me and my dad have had the worst relationship, and it just gets worse. It all starts when I was little, he was the best dad to me. He would cuddle me, tell dad jokes, play with me and my sister, I would sit on his lap and drive the car down the long *** driveway we had. I was his little princess (or pickle he used to call me) but as soon as I turned 12 he started calling me bad names, blaming me for everything, he even went as far as saying he wished I wasn't born. I was a good kid. Never got in trouble had good grades. He also got angry at everyone else including my mom and would non stop fight with her. But I was his main target. Years go by and he was starting to be the dad I used to know, but then he would get in these moods where it was a totally different person. I tried to be nice and have a good relationship with him but the stuff he says and does when he is in these moods is just unforgivable. Nowadays he it's like the angry him has taken over my real dad. I never see the good side to him anymore. He doesn't treat my mum right either which makes me really angry because she deserves the world. I just am crying over the fact that the hero I used to know is now dead and I have to live with this impersonator. And my sister in law is trying to take my place because everyone loves her, even him.

So last night I asked my mom to go for a morning jog, and she agreed. I really wanted to go for a morning run cuz I ve been slacking on fitness. Then this morning I went to wake her up and she said she was too lazy. I asked if I could go alone, but her being overprotective, wouldn t let me go. I was so mad and annoyed that I cried. Why am I like this? Also, this happens at least once a year. Worst case, few times a year.

So, I'm just gonna come right out with it. In September 7th of this year, I filled out an application for a short film role. The casting directors replied back to me saying to come in for an audition and I came. We had to fill in some paper before we went to audition. I didn't think I did that well, but a day or 2 days later, they wanted me to come in again for a script reading, but I unfortunately wasn't able to make it. The next day, I text the casting director or whoever she was if I can come in and she said that she is having oral surgery and to contact the manager instead. I emailed the manager and never got a response back. The casting director text me a couple days later saying that she has a role for me and I replied back and she gave me a few more details on the role and I thanked her. That text was on September 19th. I never heard from her after that. So I text her when is the filming gonna be and she said that she is recovering from oral surgery. So I said okay and a safe recovery. The date of that text was on October 10th. I get that she's recovering from surgery. I should know, because I had oral surgery myself, but I'm getting VERY impatient. I just really want to film this **** already!!!!!!! I don't want to think that she's lying to me. Why the **** would she lie about having oral surgery and that she has a role for me. But I don't want to be a pest and keep texting her. What should I do! PLEASE HELP ME! AND ANSWERS SERIOUSLY PLEASE! THANK YOU!!

The girl i like is getting mad at me lately for liking other girls pics on social media?. Like really? isn't the the whole point about social media. She is jealous/mad at me. Do you agree with her? am i in the wrong? it's not like i talk to these girls wtf

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and trying to stay stress free but it's hard to do that with the environment I live in. For example today my mom was having a conversation with someone in the kitchen about my sister and her schooling and since she sleeps in everyday till 5 and never goes to school I asked my mom if she was a dropout and my mom got all defensive and said no and my sister yelled to me "come say it to my face" like she was gonna do something to me or something lmao.. I didn't even think I said anything bad it was just a question but my mom started giving me a hard time so I left the house so I don't get stressed out. An hour later I get texts from my mom saying "you hurt your sisters feelings, you have no remorse and I know you won't apologize" "some sisterly love everyone hates eachother for no reason, I hope you're happy and proud" "I can't even plan anything fun because of all this hate" "she never even bothers you" what should I do? Should I move in with the babies father I'm really tired of dealing with petty childish drama over nothing.

I'm a triplet and I️ live with my brother and sister while going to college. We live in a rather older home and the doors don't lock. For as long as I️ can remember my sister has been taking my stuff and I️ find it in her room, or when I️ go to use it it's gone. I've confronted her about it more times than I️ can count. I️ hide my things. My bathroom products started out as all facing a certain way, then I️ had to take them out all together, she still comes and gets them out of my room and uses them. She eats my food, wears clothes that I've never even worn yet, that are mine, uses my makeup, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors, face wash, even down to my toothpaste. My parents have lectured her and she won't stop. I've taken her stuff, used her stuff. Absolutely nothing is working, I've even went as far as marking my things after I️ use them to see how much is left for next time with a date on it. It is the only thing we argue about and I️ absolutely never take her stuff, it isn't as nice as mine and she's cheap as hell. I'm about to pull my hair out! I️ have a lock to put on my door as soon as my dad can install it. I️ recently put a mixture of everything from glue to activated charcoal in an old shampoo bottle to attempt to get her to stop. Please help!

If they were bigger and stronger, could you defend yourself? If so, how?

Just to clarify, I love her very much, and don't mind really. Just curious how common it is.

I'm an eighteen year old girl. Back in August, I moved out of state (about 955 miles away from home) to go to college, and I was absolutely miserable. I cried at least three times a day while away at college and developed depression for the first time in my life. I missed my whole family, but I missed my dad the most...I'd say I missed him four times more than I missed everyone else. Every time I talked to him on the phone, instead of being glad that I got to talk to him, it just made me even more sad because I knew he was so far away. He's always been the most stable person in my life, and he's always been who I'm closest to. Over Thanksgiving break last week, I got to come home for the first time since leaving for college. While I was home, I decided I couldn't go back to college. I'd stuck it out for nearly three months because I thought things would get better, but they never did..not even a little bit. Now I'm back to living at home with my dad and I'm planning on transferring to the community college here just because I can't bear to be away from him again. I don't want to live at my dad's house forever, I'll get an apartment soon, but I don't want to ever leave my hometown again...all because of him. I missed the rest of my family while I was gone too, but not enough to move back. My dad was the only one I missed enough to move back home for Literally nothing could make me stay at college...not even the boy that I'd started dating. Is this normal?

so i was at a family gathering this past week over thanksgiving weekend, my aunts grandson was in the basement pitching a fit, probably because he didn't get his way, he kept screaming and screaming that drove me nuts, i kept covering my ears. Even the parents were there! My mom says to the whole group "someday I'm going to have grandkids!" she looks straight at me and i feel embarrassed, I'm thinking "wow this is embarrassing", and I look at her and i give her the surprised look and took my finger like I was going to cut my throat (if you know what I'm saying), and she's like "no?!" My stepdad says "just say no" and i just shake my head no. He knew where i was coming from. I'm not having kids someday and i'm not going to change my mind over it.

She's very poccessive and controlling. Ever since I was a baby, she controlled all aspects of my life. She forced me into all kinds of classes like piano, drawing, sports etc. After kindergarden or elementary school, instead of playing video games or hanging out like other kids, I had to go to my lessons. She also hit me and pulled my hair when I played wrong notes. I cried a lot and had bruises all over. throughout my adolescent years, she stopped abusing me physically but didn't let me play video games or do what I wanted. She enrolled me in a biotechnology program in a well-respected college. Just because she was a doctor she wanted me to be one even though bio was my weakest subject by far. I hate the classes and failed hard at school. She doesn't respect my privacy and would open letters sealed with a big "confidential" on it. The one time I didn't lock my phone, she read my text messages... Now I work abroad and finally enjoy a life without her. She wants me to go back to resume my study. She's very persistent and If I didn't do something she wanted me to do, she would call me 30 times and all night. All I want is a normal and quiet life. I don't care about money or status. I don't want to be a big CEO living a busy life. She is crazy about education and is very hard-working. I get it! but she can't force me to be just like her. She ruined my life. With her around, I can never live a life I want. What should I do? Should I just disappear because I'm really fed up.

I m pregnant and I m afraid of telling my side of the family, because they are close to my dad, who I m terrified of because of lifelong neglect and recent emotional abuse. I don t have contact with him, but they do. And I m afraid that if I tell my family it will be inevitable that he will know, and then will try to say he has a right to know my baby. He s a drunk and he uses medication that makes him emotionally crazy, and he hates my mother, who I love with all my heart. He creeps me out really bad, and he s frightening. So how do I tell my family about my pregnancy? Or how do I deal with them possibly rejecting me for not allowing him to be a part of my baby s life? Just the thought of it makes me shudder honestly.

If she did she wouldn't get run over by a reindeer

So my mom and dad have been acting very irrational lately. They've been trying to make me feel stupid and keep calling me things to try and belittle me. Like.. what? Im still in school, skipped a grade, get straight A's, and I am in ALL honors classes. Ive even aced state tests, please tell me how my struggle with geometry makes me "stupid". Now to the irrational part... Ive been wanting ferrets for about a year. I set up a presentation and speech analyzing and going over a plan for how I, again, how I will pay for and take care of my ferrets. I went over my thorough research which was a few pages, but of course i expanded on it. She just lashed out on me and told me "NO, WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY MORE ANIMALS!". I was so taken aback by her sudden yell, i just stared at her for a while in confusion. I figured she was just in a bad mood, right? No. I casually brought it up again, making sure not to sound pushy.. same response but louder and more aggressive. Like... what? She did this when i told her i wanted a service dog. Keep in mind, she didn't even have to pay for the dog, we had a plan worked out. She just kept shutting me out and gave me the silent treatment. I want to go back to school so badly, but because of my disorders, i cannot.. unless i have a service dog. She just told me, "NO WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY MORE ANIMALS!"... ironically, she tried to buy another dog for herself. That's my point, she wants to buy animals for herself... but not me? I don't get it? (update) -Again, i DO NOT EXPECT HER TO PAY FOR THE ANIMAL, THAT IS UNFAIR. The animal is paid for, taken care of, and put in my room. My animals do not cost her in any way. Just to make that clear. My dad pretty much did the same thing to me. Im so confused? Im not trying to sound bratty.. I'm just confused. She spends hundreds on my brother for random unnecessary things, how come she cant even agree to let me PAY for the ferrets? i keep my word! I take care of my cats so... Also forgot to mention the fact that my mom took all of my allowance to pay for a dog that was PROMISED, BY HER, TO BE MINE... but then she ended up telling me a week later i had no rights to the dog. Are you serious? I was pretty pissed when she did that to me, especially when she told me i still had to take care of it. Of course i do, since i love the dog, but wow. That was really low.

Honestly i wasnt sure what to put as the heading question but i just need an opinion. I feed, clothe, transport myself any and everywhere i need. i have a job and get myself to and from it. so i barely financially depend on my mom despite the living in her house, i paymy own bills also. but so whats your thoughts on my mom physically going into my wallet and taking all the money, literally all my money. no questions, no words. goes into my room and gets my wallet and cleans it out and she wont give it back. i only eat at home on fridays, literally only on fridays. i just feel like considering that i earned that money on my own, and i provide for myself, i need every dollar i can get not to mention im a senior and must pay for my sat, road tests, cap and gown, car, i can go on and on. i pay for literally everything and she does this. i want to leave so bad but i know that its easier said fhan done. id what to do. help

so i m a teenager blah blah. My parent think I hate them and I don t really like them but I don t want to not like them.They keep asking me if i m okay but i m fine and it s annoying. I don t like really anything. How do I fix this?

I don't know how to get him to let me stop. I need help.

she stressed herself out for a stupid reason and told me to give her my phone..i didnt give it and made them wait because i had to buy them something since i used a thing of theirs(thats why and since i didnt tell her why i used it) my dad was about to come throw something at me and i ran into the bathroom locking it, and he tried to unlock the door and my mom told him to stop he will make it worse but he didnt etc. so finally he did, and a few minutes ago she said "im leaving and i am not coming back. im blocking al of your numbers do dont try and call me" or whateve she said?? she left the house when he was trying to open the door but he stopped finally. idk if she really left and isnt coming back, or is gonna come back tomorrow or later.. but what if she doesnt?? what should i do?? i CANNOT STAND my stupid idiot of a ******* dad alone. (i cant stand this family sometimes anyways lol) he just gets anger issues too quickly and if my parents ever divorce and my mom says she will leave me with HIM since "im his kid, i act just like him with my attitude and everything" **** like that. imma bit scared for my mom though, what should i do?? i cant call anyone anyways either since they blocked me from being able to make calls and messaging?

I found out yesterday when I saw my cousin and said "did you all do anything over Thanksgiving" and he said "yeah we were all over at your Dad and Karen's. Karen is my step-mother. My Dad told me not to stop by as they weren't doing much but he might catch me over Christmas. Might usually means no or just see me for 5 minutes. I feel so rejected. I can't confront my Dad cause if he gets mad he doesn't talk to me for a year. I am 26 and so much want a relationship with my Dad and his family. I am a guy and need a Dad, not just my Mom and maternal grandmother. He lied and I can't believe it but it is not the first time. I feel so rejected cause he had his other two kids from his 2nd marriage there since they are high school aged. He also had his nephews and nieces over. Yet, I was lied to and now it will be next summer before I get to go to a big family get together and I love them (the gatherings). I hurt so much I even got suicide thoughts (not that I will act on them). How do I get over the hurt of my Dad so blatantly rejecting me? I know it was likely my step-Mom not wanting an extra guest but I miss out and suffer cause of her insecurity of being inconvenienced and my Dad's fear to love his son enough to stand up for him to his wife. Please help, I feel like the whole holiday season is wrecked by this. I am mad at my Dad but at myself also for not being good enough.

She has no likable qualities

Her mother and his parents didn't care after a while..would you? WHOA....not my son...asking about someone else!!!

Its so annoying. Making trouble out of nothing. Sitting in my room, out of the sudden arguments for 30 mins every single day. Without saying anything to them the whole day, they argue. wtf? Is there voices in grandparents heads?

my parents are going to a wedding in los angeles (around 4 hours away) and they're getting my grandparents to come to stay with me overnight. i'm 16 years old. i have been staying home for 12+ hours at a time in the day/evening since i was 12 years old. will be in college in a completely new state in less than 2 years. they should be able to trust me. i told them we live in an EXTREMELY safe neighborhood (nationally ranked) and that literally nothing will happen, but they don't judge. i tell them they expect me to act like an adult but they treat me like a child which is extremely unfair. how do they expect me to go to college across the country when they don't have enough faith in me to spend a night alone in my own house? please help me convince them so i don't have to be babysat at 16 years old. it's humiliating. they have no reason not to trust me; i have given them NO reason not to trust me. i wouldn't throw a party or anything.

There is this guy who flirts with me daily. He would talk loud about me with his friends..staring at me, trying to get with me. But days like today he treated me like I was invisible..I would look at him and he looked away..I got so disappointed because I know that he liked me and was trying to make it my business to show him I liked him also..why does he only flirt with me sometimes?

Well my cousin Robbie told me that, he says it's a cheaper kind of cocaine that doesn't get you high but is still really addictive, so that's why they put it in there, but my dad's never let me buy it so I can't make sure.

in all the years of me living im 15 my dad has not done a single thing to benefit me its always been my mom with literally everything (parent teacher conferences, buying my clothes, making sure i'm in a good school, giving me money to go out, driving me places) basically everything a parent does she is there financially, emotionally, and physically. my dad is here physically but does not do anything he doesn't buy me clothes or spend money on me he barely takes me anywhere it's all my mom my mom does everything she pays for everything it's like she's a single parent but the husband is there. mind you the husband is in the picture. he always has an excuse it's always something my mom is working 2 jobs to keep the family financially stable while he is at home sitting on his *** he doesn't work at all when we could be. i asked him to make me dinner he said he doesn't know how like what type of father are you ?

Lately my little sister has been super hateful. She mainly targets me and makes fun of me, then points out everything I do wrong, then makes me feel more self-conscious than I already am. But she's still nice sometimes! But lately, she's been bad. It's almost Christmas, and I LUV CHRISTMAS!!! So I turn on the music in the car, and she YELLS at me to shut up and won't stop until I change the channel. She even said she doesn't care about Christmas when she used to luv it. She said she doesn't want to decorate the tree, nothing. It's making me very upset, not just cuz she's hating on me, but cuz I want to help her but idk what to do! My mom even says "That girl has some serious issues"

My uncle passed away suddenly a week ago, I was really sad so I miss the two days of drivers ed I had. That put me at the maximum number of absences, which was fine, except now I will miss 2 more days because I'm going to his funeral:( does anyone know what will happen? Please help!
