Family: Question: Do you believe in karma?

Question: Do you believe in karma?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 12:57 PM PST

I can'thelp but think that currently, my Parents are experiencing karma. To make a long story short, they not only took all my electronics away for two months (and I'm 33) for talking to a guy, but then went to a courthouse and filed for guardianship of me! Because I contested it, they had to get a lawyer. Eventually I agreed to a limited one to stop the madness. Until I did, they repeatedly pressured me and threatened me into it. Effectively making my life pretty awful/stressful at the time. NOW, it seems that said lawyer might take their money and run because She's a horrible human being. However, I don't want anything bad to happen to them. Even so, I wonder if this is the result of bad treatment to me....

Question: My aunt and her daughter in law had a blow up over Facebook. Is this a good way to resolve conflict?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 12:53 PM PST

Will they reconcile now that they've gotten their fight out and the whole Facebook world knows?

Question: My mom is too clingy?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 12:45 PM PST

i am a 13 year old girl and i am very independent. my mom is constantly hugging me and kissing me to the point that i almost heavily HATE her. but i have to say i love you back or she'll flip out on me , i talked with her about it and she said it's hard letting me go because i'm her last child (i have an older brother) but i just don't like it, it annoys me. she also depresses me on the way she acts and dresses like she doesn't care about herself. she is overweight and i have never once fat shamed her, my mom keeps saying she is fat, but me being a good child, says that she's not. i honestly don't know what to do at this point, if i ignore her she gets upset at me, which annoys me, and i end up crying over how much i hate her.

Question: How do I get him to love me again ?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 11:34 AM PST

My boyfriend of 5 years and I have a one year old together. He's cheated on me while I was pregnant and we broke up for a year but lately we've been doing a lot better. We only fight when I don't remember my place and am not submissive. I talk back a lot when he gives me attitude and that's been driving a wedge between us. He says when he's being mean to me or out of line I need to understand to be quiet and take it because eventually he'll be calm and say sorry but the more I talk back the worse I make it. He says he treated his other girlfriend (the one he dated on our break ) Better. Last night when we argued he said it in front of our son that both you and mommy need to learn to listen to me and talked about how much better he was to his other girlfriend and talked about the women he cheated on me with and how he wishes I didn't find out so he could've continued his life with dating both of us. I'm sure he was mad and didn't mean any of it but I don't like that he's saying that in front of our son because now he's going to grow up thinking he and I are at the same level that I am at the level of a child and Constantly see and hear his dad talk about other women. He kept saying that if I don't straighten up and learn to listen we will be over. I'm so scared of losing my family I don't know what to do.ive been listening to his authority a lot lately I just want to make him happy but it's like I'm walking on egg shells with him I don't know what's going to set him off

Question: No one, including me, likes my sister. She's mean to everyone. Should I feel sorry for her though since she has no one to like her in family?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 11:11 AM PST

She might have people outside the family who like her but no one in the family does. Our parents love her but don't like her.

Question: My grandmother died in June and this is the first Christmas without her. How do I honor her when the family will not discuss her?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 11:05 AM PST

The family's way of dealing with it is not to say her name at the holidays as it will bring sadness and holidays are to be happy. I feel she should be remembered and honored but it is just how my family is. How can I honor her as I feel it would have helped me to have spoken about her? I can't go to the cemetery as she was buried at Arlington Cemetery with my grandfather who died in Vietnam. We live in Atlanta area.

Question: Should I marry him or not?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 10:38 AM PST

I've been completely in love with my bf for 3 years but our parents hate each other and refuse to accept our marriage. My mother hates his mother cause she's paranoid and thought that his mother and my dad had an affair (they didn't) My father isn't too happy with them because his parents are business partners Third reason is that he's a different caste than I am and my parents are guilting me to the extreme with questions along the lines of "what will our family think? how will we ever show our face again in church? I love him so ******* much but I don't know if I can handle being guilted so much by my parents... and so I'm now having thoughts of leaving him but I know that'd wreck me too ( would make my parents leap for joy however)

Question: Is it normal for teenagers to be all about themselves?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 10:25 AM PST

My birthday is tomorrow, and my daughter and I will be going over to a friend's house and my daughter asked me "This time, can I be part of the conversation?" My daughter is often left out when she is in groups, but it is my birthday and I can't believe she'd make my birthday all about herself. Her sulking spoils what little I ask for. She's treating me like a child with her complaining. I ask for so little and I get even less. She says she never meant for it to sound like she was making it about herself. Well then if she thought that then she can stop complaining.

Question: Father and mother rights....?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 10:11 AM PST

I'm a young mother of two , their father is in their life but does not have a job . We are no longer together and since tax season coming hes pressing me about letting him take the kids but I have a very bad feeling. He doesnt change their diapers or do anything for them. He has been physically , emotionally and mentally abusive towards me in the past and will do it again. I had to get out of there. He claims he has obtain copies of my kids SSC and birth certificates (Can he really obtain them?) My mother has been filing taxes because she has finacially supported me and my kids since day one and I won't be 18 til a month from now! She even supported him when we was together from time to time. Can my mother be filed as fraud? His name is not on the birth certificate but has SurLastNames. which I totally regret. He was incarcerated for 10 months while I was pregnant with my second .. before and since haven't gotten a job to help out with my kids . I believe he's schizophrenia but I'm not sure. only his mother knows... thanks in advance

Question: Ok I’m really nervous about telling my family I’m back with my sons dad. But I want them to be supportive in my decision?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 09:54 AM PST

Question: My dad always complaining about money. Help?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 09:38 AM PST

My dad makes over 70,000 dollars for his job and had the same job for about 23 years now. He complains about money all the time and how much things cost.. he has two kids that he takes care of.. he just paid my sisters rent which was about 500 dollars because she couldn't come up with it in time being in school plus being a collegiate athlete.. my brother is still young, 17 years old, I bought my sister and my brother both cars. If it was up to my parents, it would take them years to get them that. So I just took it upon myself to help them. He asked me for money several times in the past and now he's asking me to go in half for a longboard for my brother. I just told him, "where is your money going?" He got pissed and complained about my sisters rent and hung up on me. He never pays for a single meal of mine even if it's an Arby's or McDonald's meal.. I am 29 years old but you would think he would pay for a 5 dollar meal because I'm his daughter... what should I do about him being so tight with his money? No rude comments.

Question: My mom keeps forcing me to wear glasses all the time. How do I get her to stop?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 09:33 AM PST

Okay so basically I m about to start college for the first time and I m really excited to start going. I have glasses that I wear when I m on my computer or when I m reading something. I take them off when I m not doing anything and when she sees me without them the first thing that comes out of her mouth is "where are your glasses?? Put them on! >:(" she forces me to wear them all day of everyday and I don t want to. I m kind of self conscious about wearing them and she never wants to understand it. She said if I don t wear them I m not gonna go to college. Like WOW! I m gonna use them to see the board and when I m doing work. Even when I need to see the menu at lunch time. I m about to kill myself because of her bullsh** and I just want it all to stop! How do I get her to understand that I don t want them on all the time? I just want to look the way I want and she won t let me. She s so selfish. Hopefully somebody gives me a good answer.

Question: How to prove to my mom I'm not a quitter?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 08:22 AM PST

Question: My sister's spoiled by our Mom. Since she is the only daughter is it normal for a mother to spoil the only daughter even if it does damage?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 07:58 AM PST

My mother has three sons and a daughter. We all had rules but when my sister broke a rule there was no consequence. Now she is an adult and demands stuff from our mother who caves in just as she did when my sister was supposed to be punished as a teen. My sister is also a bully and insults people. She is 24. So is this common for the only daughter of a woman and is she beyond the point of repair now that she is an adult and somewhat a narcissist.

Question: How do I avoid the pain of family rejection here at Christmas (I am estranged from my family)?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 07:54 AM PST

I sided with my Dad in my parents divorce years ago. I still was good to my Mom also but lived with my Dad as the only son. Now I am 42. My sisters resent me for this and I am not welcome at their Christmas'. I never married and am 42 and single. I have no family at Christmas. We have cousins I see at a July reunion each year but that is all. My mother doesn't like conflict so just goes along with my sisters' feelings though sees me at Thanksgiving. I will be alone on the 25th. My Dad died in April. How do I avoid the pain of family rejection here at Christmas? It is all I can think about right now. Due to learning disabilities I have more of a child-like personality which is likely why I never married.

Question: Seeking an opinion, Serious inquiry: why did our mother end up with more tape for her mouth than us?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 07:45 AM PST

Years ago, when I was much younger (about 8-10), my mother, sister, and I were victims of a robbery. We were not harmed, just kept tied up. The thieves took off my sister's and my socks, and put them in our mouths. Then they taped our mouths shut. They took my mother's nylons off her feet and put them in her mouth before taping her mouth shut. (they wrapped tape around our faces) My mother is a stubborn and independent woman (single mother also), so of course, she refused to keep quiet and fought even as the robbers were tying and gagging her. What i remember is that the thieves wrapped the tape around my sister's and my mouth only 2-3 times and my mother 5-7 times. each equally tight

Question: How to cope with a control freak mother?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 07:02 AM PST

My ma is always so bossy and irritating. If I'm in the same room as her she will always ask me to do stuff like simple things like getting her shoes from her room and stuff and when I don't get it she will scream at me or take my phone off me etc. I know it's only little stuff but it's constant and I have no choice but to do stuff . She always tells me what to do and when she gives out to me she says I'm stupid and lazy an useless etc an it upsets me to the point I wanna die.

Her real dad is jealous of him wat should I do

Question: My kids refuse to move out claiming it is my fault they don't have any money or transportation but it is not? Why do they act hurt?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 05:05 AM PST

Have had my kids homeschooled for 9 years. Refused to teach them to drive at 15/16 refused to get them lessons, refused to let my wife and sister teach them. Refused to let them get a job at 16/17 because I did not want to drive them or get them proof of their ages and names. They still have no ID and I refuse to help them. Did not put them in any groups to meet friends during those 9 years of having them homeschooled. We don't live in the city, so the bus is 30 miles from us in the city they both refuse to walk in the middle of the interstate to get there. Stopped celebrating their birthdays at 5/6 years old. Celebrate my own, my wife's and my sisters though as we are actual adults(in our 50s) and can do what we want. Plan to kick my kids out with nothing they can sink or swim I don't believe in helping them. They are 18 and 19. Why do Christians and social justice warriors say I am in the wrong when I am not? Couldn't I just drop them off at a group home and they can do everything/ teach what I refuse to teach my kids?

Question: My mom lies about people she's mad at. How do I point this out to her when I'm her kid and not her parent or do I just stay silent?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 03:53 AM PST

It really makes me mad when she does this in case his words loved ones in mind that she's lying about.

Question: Is my brother evil?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 01:16 AM PST

Now back to brother, he keeps secret contact with him and after doing this he is disrespectful towards mum and us. He doesn't contribute any money even if he has it. He lies about not having money. He laughed when I told my mum he is seeing our father. Me and my sister both saw them together. He has managed to hide the calls between them and that made me feel like I was wrong for accusing him. But then I saw them together with my own eyes. He wanted to use my sisters car and when he uses it various things start to break but now that we have not let him use it. There is no problems with the car. In September he threatened me with a knife for saying that I saw him with him. The reason why him meeting him is that our father is evil and he tells him to ruin the household economically and emotionally and we have already seen the signs. He claimed that he took a knife because I was accusing him. My mother took his side even when she has caught him hiding money and lying about many things. Even when he has called her names. There is many more things but can you give me advice. I know it is long but Am I crazy or is he evil?

Question: Torture - How do I get out?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 01:03 AM PST

In a nut shell: Dad is a narcissist and probs bipolar too. Mum and us moved out he came at us full force, even broke into our house and tried to take the dog from us, so we moved back. Now life is living hell again. I'm 21 but can't just leave my mum or dog. Not that he cares, I just told him I wish he would die and he said "I'll have to punish you for that". **** head. - Now I have to watch my back. How can we get away!! Don't say call the police - we have MULTIPLE times, they only make it worse or do nothing at all. He is always taking an overdoes in Voltaren, pain meds etc, and is taking testosterone supplements, has a bad knee - and no he isn't going to the doctor, he think he's better. He also eats like 4 sandwiches, multiple take aways etc. Any chance he'll die soon? Also, moving out isn't an option really - He will find us and goodness knows what will happen then. He's got a protection order but doesn't give a damn Also, my sister is 16....a complication since she's a minor. In short....We're ******

Question: I need your guys help?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 12:48 AM PST

Okay so i live with my grandma now my dad isn't around my mom was never around... any ways I'm in the 10th grade and i play soccer I get home around 6pm and my gma is always complaining about how i get home so late. She wants me to be perfect she always tells me that I never study(but I do) she tells me that Im going to have to quit soccer and shes mad about that fact that I have practice on Saturdays and on school days she wants me to stay up late she gets mad if I try to go to sleep around 10pm. I really don't want to live with her but she s getting guardianship of me and I know it would break her heart if I told her I want to leave I have no clue what to do! Ugh and my dad (her son) left me in July my dad is on drugs and not in the right place of taking care of me at this moment. My real mom was never there for me I know where she lives tho but my grandma don't want me to talk to her

Question: My mum wants me to work even though I’m sick. Should I work or stay home?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 12:31 AM PST

If I go to work I get even more sick, but if I stay home Mum gets pissed. Mum works at the same company as me so she's paranoid people will start spreading rumours. It's a lose lose situation.

Question: Any advice on this matter? Is this wrong?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:08 PM PST

Ok so long story short. I love my pediatrician very much. She's been taking care of me since I was born and I absolutely adore her. She's in her sixties, she's compassionate, and she's Scottish so she has an amazing accent that always soothes me. I notice that I am growing very attached to her and look to her for maternal love. I'm a teen girl and my own mother is an alcoholic and is very cruel to me sometimes. I tell my doctor everything and she is always so loving to me. I feel a bond with her and wish she was my mother. I'm scared about becoming a woman and I ask her for advice on everything and she gives it to me. She has held me when I'm sad (I have depression) and has wiped away my tears more times than I can count. When I told her I loved her like a mother, she started crying and hugging me. Was this wrong to do? And is it wrong to love her this deeply? Every girl needs a proper mother figure, I think....

Question: I live in Texas and I am 13 years old and very shy, as well as not very good at confronting my parents on serious issues.?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 10:54 PM PST

I just caught my dad smoking marijuana and he has about 3 ounces in his closet that I know of. He has been sent to the hospital like 5 times in the past 2 months and we already had a bad time with money and it's even worse with the hospital trips. I want to see if my mom knows that he does this but like I said I'm very nervous and shy. Some one please give me some advice.

Question: Child abuse?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 09:36 PM PST

I have an 18 year old brother who has just finished his HSC however.. he pretty much failed it. My father who's strict and not easy going didn't take it nicely, he told my brother that he could of done so much better and threw in a couple of insults such as: You can't even manage to work at Mc Donalds. After that he plain out stated that he could not go to university. (He has done worse in the past (Placed a chair on me and lit a match near it just to see if I was faking to sleep) After this I got my report and it was pretty average" (Not to mention my parents think "average" is really bad) I just hid my report. Should I even show it? The point is are we being abused, or how can I even help. I just can't stand this level of treatment.

Question: Would you move out if you were me?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 08:38 PM PST

I live with my grandparents currently. And I rely on them for almost everything, so I want to move out. Reasons why; I hate relying on them, I have no privacy, all their children and grandchildren visit, and my brother is severely annoying (acts like an overgrown child at 23) I am a full-time student, no job, no car, in debt with $2,000, and I will owe doctor bills in the future because have an illness to take care of to take care of. I will be in school for the next 4-5 years. I have $10k in savings and I am 22. Should i move out?

Question: I have a mother who won't forgive her in-laws but won't see any bad in her own family. Is this normal since one is not blood with in-laws?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 08:10 PM PST

If her in-law makes a mistake she does not forgive it. If her blood family makes a mistake she almost immediately forgives including her sister who has done unthinkable wrong. Her in-laws are much closer and better behaved and yet she won't forgive offenses but does forgive the ones in her own family. Is this normal? My mother is 54 and female. She has two siblings and her in-laws (my step-father's family) their are 6 children. My Dad she holds a grudge against post-divorce and insults him daily. However she liked his family.

Question: My sister treats me like I'm younger than my youngest cousin and I'm sick and tired of it. Help?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 07:53 PM PST

Okay, so, I know I have a whole lot of family issues so yeah sorry. My sister treats me like I'm two and like I'm the most annoying person on this earth. For example: Sister: *showing cousins aged 11 and 16 a photo* Me, aged 10: Hey can I see? Sister: NO YOU'RE TOO YOUNG 2 years later... Sister: *showing cousins now aged 13 and 18 same photo Me: Can I see? Sister: NO **** OFF YOU'RE TOO YOUNG Me: But she was 11 when you showed her and I'm twelve...? Sister: SHE'S MORE MATURE Think this one is just jealousy over my cousins? No. Example 2.0: Sister: *is talking about something with others* Me: *makes joke* Sister: *ignores* Me:... Me: *says joke again* Sister: OH MY GOD WE HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME Please help she's just such a psycho ***** sometimes.

Question: How can I get my 6 year old brother to stop crying/whining over every little thing?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 07:32 PM PST

Sometimes when I'm babysitting him and my sister, my sister would change the tv and he'd starts whinge over it and the next you know his whining turns into crying. Or when my mom or I tell him to go do something he'd whine over it. It gets really annoying.

Question: I'm 17 and my mom is gonna kick me out and won't let me have a job till then.?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 07:20 PM PST

My birthday is the 26th of this month. I'm now allowed to find a job till I'm 18 and then I get kicked out.

Question: I overheard my dad talking **** about me?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 06:55 PM PST

Just the other day, my dad found out I had severe depression. He started telling me how smart I am and that my family loves me. I believed him, which was unusual for me to do. Just today, i told him i needed help with math. He told me to get my laptop downstairs. I grabbed it and as I was walking up the stairs, I could hear him. He was calling me stupid and a bunch of other ****. I just froze there. I still cant even process it and i just... what do i do? I thought I could trust him.. he's my DAD...? You don't understand "Coach Simon", I'm depressed in the first place because of my family. I highly doubt volunteering would just up and fix me. Besides, I already did that. Changed nothing and I honestly just don't feel like doing it again. Considering he calls me things constantly (including my mother), being mobile isn't going to fix that lol. Another reason Im depressed is because i care too much about people... thus being treated like a doormat.

Question: What to do abt my mom?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 06:11 PM PST

She is so fuckn mean all the time. She yells at me and makes me cry and whenever I'm sad she just makes things worse. She can tell when i'm more detached and attacks me more, making scenes and stuff. She calls me cracky when Im just so depressed and I cant tell her that i am. I don't tell her anything. She's mean to my dad to, taking advantage of his deep rooted self doubt and sheepish personality. He had a messed up childhood Idk. He always says self deprecating things and my mom yells at him for it. But the only reason he feels illegitimate is because she always makes him feel like that, saying he went to "fake art school" and always criticizing him on everything. I'm 15 and i honestly want to die. I just want to tell her how much I hate her. She always says everyone is against her and that its are fault. Its my fault. Its my fault she feels bad for some reason after making me cry. WTF i hate her what can i even do. I have no one to talk to and no friends at school either. She is also a snoop and I cant have friends because she needs to now everything about them and their parents. My mom also has these crazy crazy moments of irrationality and does things from pure i don't even know

Question: Is this islam?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 04:57 PM PST

family in the Middle East. Because she was born in the Muslim month of Ramzan, her parents named her Ramza. "I was a religious girl from my childhood," she told Bibles for Mideast (https://bibles4mideast.com/). Her family was large, partly due to her father's three wives who bore 13 children. After Ramza completed her education, a former schoolmate surprised her one day by sharing about Jesus Christ. "She was the daughter of a pastor, ministering with Bibles for Mideast. But I never accepted her message and arguments. She gave me a sample gospel (tract)," Ramza said. After her graduation, Ramza's father proposed that she marry an older, wealthy man, who already had three wives and several children. Ramza was sickened by the proposition, especially when she realized she would be younger than his youngest child. One evening she went to meet with her father. "I pleaded with him not to arrange my marriage now, but to send me for further studies. My father denied my request. I argued with him, for I was unable to imagine such a marriage. He did not listen to me at all," she told Bibles for Mideast. Tearful and defiant, Ramza told her father she would run away from home before the marriage could take place. Enraged that she would argue or question his authority, he suddenly grabbed a chair and hit her on the head with one of its legs. Ramza collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely from a broken skull. Her father and stepmother were shocked when they realized she was dead.

My sister is recently engaged to a man who none of my family likes. He is loud, rude, and talks about things that are completely inappropriate for mixed company. (Eg: Talking about his brothers girlfriends "orifices".) He treats my 7 year old terrible, even calling him stupid at one point. Him and I have gotten in to spats before but I try to avoid him. My parents and sister all see that there is a problem but none are willing to stand up to him. My sister is coming for Christmas this year and her fiance is coming with. Would it be rude of me to not attend to avoid confrontation with him? My mom is constantly saying I'd better get used to it because he is here to stay. I think i shouldn't have to have him in my life if I don't want to.

Question: Disagreement with parents.?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 03:08 PM PST

So little background : I'm 23 female, I'm still staying with my parents because it save money and I'm still in college. Family always been strict on rules. The thing is my bf it's in military and out at another state. He didn't finish college, my mom said we shouldn't get married until he finished college. Which I agree, I don't disagree because my step dad didnt finish and some times he gets frustrated at work because of it. So to the question: I told my mom I want to visit my boyfriend, during that time there's no school or work and not any holiday. But she refused. She said either of us have finish college and if I go see him we would stay together. And she doesn't want that. I still don't really see the issue. But I don't want to go against her will. Since I am staying at her house and she help paid most of the college. Is there peaceful way to talk to her and get what I want? And I did try to talk to her and that's the reason she give me. She kind of raised her voice on it which was unnecessary to me. I didn't say anything to her because I was trying not to irritate her and I also want to gather my thoughts first.

Question: Why does my mom think I'm giving attitude?

Whenever I say something that doesn't sound the way it should or I'm just being calm and reasonable, mom gets angry for no reason. I tell her that I'm just saying something (my opinion or explaining myself for something) she gets mad for it. She also told me she not giving me nothing on Christmas and even my Birthday(I'm 14 and I'm about to be 15 next week). I'm sad because she always thinks i'm having a attitude which I'm a calm person. Why? I wasn't being disrespecful i'm just hurt sorry I'm misspelled disrespectful

Question: How can I convince myself that what he said isn't true?

My brother and I got into an argument and he told me that I was fatter than him(which is not true).

Question: Why didn't my mom tell me about this? Any ideas?

I was visiting my cousins (my mom's sister's children). They were showing the family picture album. It has pictures of my mom when she was young and was she ever beautiful. WOW. I told my aunt that I had never seen those pictures and I thought my mom in those pictures was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. My aunt said "If you think she was beautiful then, let me show you some of national magazines she modeled for". Moms pictures in those magazines just blew me away. I had not idea mom had ever been a model. She had never told me about that? I ask my aunt if she could make me a copy of mom's pictures so I could put them on the wall in my room and she agreed to do so. Do you think my mom would have a problem with her daughter putting her mom's pictures on my room at home as I am so proud of her? Can anyone think of a reason mom never told her daughter she was a model and had appeared in national magazines?

Question: Why don't my parents want me with a divorced doctor?

They are too concerned that things will happen. I feel my frustrations are building up from their imposing their cynicism on dating on me and not being allowed to make my own decisions and direct my own life as an adult.

Question: What’s wrong with my 14 year old sister?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 01:49 PM PST

So, I have a 14 year sister, Yes, 14. And she regularly screams extremely loud, has tantrums, bangs LOUDLY on doors and walls and tells parents to shut up at least twenty times a day. It's driving me crazy, and it's been happening for at lesst a year now. Today, my neighbours came over and complained about how their furniture is close to falling because of the banging and how they can't sleep because of her, and after they left my sister yelled at us and screamed and broke a glass on the floor. My sister fights with my parents and they honestly scream for hours on end and there's no where for me to go to ignore it. My dad is even going to leave our family because of her. I don't know what to do, and I can't put up with this much longer. My sister is very narcissistic, and is now crying because she HONESTLY has no idea what she is doing wrong and why people hate her. The only excuse she has is that "she's only a child"(no) and that she didn't do anything wrong. She also takes anxiety medication for her hypocondria but it also isn't working because she constantly thinks she has cancer (which she doesnt but thats a whole different story). I could go on and on with this but does anyone have any advice. Didn't get to fit this: I desperately need help, and I have no one to talk too, because my sister is an absolute angel and perfectly normal at school, so whenever I tell my friend that i'm really stressed at home, my sister just says that she never did that and that nothings happening. (I'm 15 by the way) Also sorry for the EXTREMELY LONG POST and for the lack of grammar, I just wanted to get my point across. Help!
