I don't live near my family. Far away, in fact. I miss them some. More importantly, I don't feel like being with friends right now, but I'm lonely. What explains the feeling of loneliness when you don't really want to be around anybody else? Have you had this feeling? What is it about?

So I haven't seen my grandad for 2 1/2 years and he's 73. He suffered from CPOD earlier this year. He was in hospital for a while and we never went to see him. Last Friday my grandad went into hospital again because he was struggling to breathe. He's out of hospital now and we're going to see him. I seriously don't know what to say and I'm really nervous about seeing him. I'm just scared of what he is going to be like because the last time I saw him he didn't look to good.

A little history. My daughter has always been troubled. I've tried to be a good mom to her, but somehow I missed something. She's 30 years old. 5 years ago she got envolved with a guy who got her strung out on drugs. The two of them smoked meth around my grandson and I eventually ended up with the child for a bit. This guy eventually made her prostitute herself at times for drugs. In the course of this time frame they robbed me, vandalized my home and while I was in the hospital from a breakdown from all of this, the two of them had a meth lab in my bathroom of my home. That's just a few things. Recently she tells me she's seeing this guy again. Talk about exhausted just thinking on it.. She came over for a visit one evening and I told her we had to cut it short because I was tired. She blows up on me, in front of my house guest, disrespects me, yelling, and crying.. I was shocked and it was a replay of the past. I asked her to leave and not to come back until her attitude changed and she apologizes. She has always used my grandchildren and my love for them to control me and get her way. I'm too tired to care anymore. I just want peace and I see that I can't trust her. Am I wrong for doing what I did and feeling tired of dealing with her? I'm 52 years old. Thank you

So here's the thing, I feel like a gremlin sometimes and people start to judge me and make me feel like they might be judging me as a gremlin, but I think they judge me that way because I make them feel like I am a gremlin because of the way I feel like a gremlin. Here's the catch, I'm not actually a gremlin, believe it or not. So the question may have been buried a little bit back there. The main question is why do I feel this way? But the outlying question is how do I quit feeling this way? And how do I quit making people judge me for feeling this way and also judging me as a gremlin, when in fact I'm not actually a gremlin?

So I was married for 2 years things where up and down very rocky ...he has a child from a previous marriage that I take care of full time ( no days off ever ...her mom abandoned her ) which Im ok with but is super stressful we also have a 2 year old son together So this relationship isn't working he is verbally abusive saying things like ( your a piece of **** , your trash, you look like a cow..whore etc) these things are usually said in front of the kids while we are both mad at each other The only person I have is my mom ...

Apparently, my aunt was cheating on her husband for a few years and got pregnant. She and her now ex-husband got divorced and the guy she cheated with doesn t want to marry her but wants to stick around for the baby. Now, my question is; what is this guy s family relationship to us and the kids from my aunt s previous marriage?

It happens like once a month (if Im lucky). I mean, it makes sense, since we are somewhat young (Im 19, he's 20) and we both still live with our mothers. (Its a different system here so its not like we move out for college or anything). But we could do it so much more often, he is home alone sometimes and even if he wasnt we could go to a love hotel (already went once and we had a great time) But I dont get why he never asks for it. I've been the one asking for it for at least the last 4 times. I've already talked about this with him and he was like "uh yeah, ok, lets do it next week" and then it happens and I have to wait like another month. Its driving me crazy. I have already considered ending the relationship because of this. Any advise?

hola, les cuento mi historia, tengo 20 años y soy independiente, vivo sola, alquilo un cuarto amplio tengo una carrera técnica resulta que soy bisexual y tengo novia, ella tiene 21. Llevamos 7 meses de relación pero por parte de ella,aun vive con su madre, el cual no acepta su orientación y no sabe de nuestra relación. Ella también ya termino su carrera técnica pero aun no trabaja, su madre le da todo. ahora lo que pasa es que no le deja salir para poder vernos, ella me cuenta que siempre ha sido asi desde antes, siempre ha tenido problemas con ella por eso, ya esta cansada, su hermana tambien se fue de su casa a temprana edad porque el trato de su mamá es ofuscante, siente que no puede ser ella en su casa. asi que me ha pedido vivir juntas, que conseguira trabajo. yo le dije que primero hablara con su mamá para que pueda irse en buenas condiciones pero su mamá no esta de acuerdo. asi que ella piensa irse sin decir nada y no se si es correcto lo que voy hacer. quiero sus consejos, porque se que se generará problemas con su familia, quizas al enterarse que vive conmigo. su familia solo me conoce como su amiga. no se que hacer?

Hi, I will try to keep this as short as possible. My parents have abused me for 12 years. They use Psychological warfare type of stuff(Things that look innocent but to me are hurtful), along with yelling and swearing at me. since I got to middle school. I have a tremendous fear of people, and never talk to them and always get bullied for it, since I was 13. I know that's how the world works but I'm all alone AND get bullied. At home and everywhere outside of it. I am 25 now, I live with my parents and was reading my diary I started keeping, and yesterday I read it from the start and was overwhelmed with anger, and got the courage to want to move away (The reason I haven't moved out sooner is because I am too afraid of people and my parents are all I have). I want to make it so they cant find me, I did extremely well in school and took AP classes, so I can handle getting a job and making sure I spend only the money I have. I want to change my whole name, but am afraid they are going to look for me and tell everybody at work that my new name is fake. How do I remain hidden from them? I know they can find me if they hire someone or research it, but I want to make it at least hard enough for them to be deterred from spending days trying to find me. Anyone have any experience with this?

Ok. So me and my family moved to the United States a couple of years ago and I am now 17. We had to live with my aunt and uncle and cousins and we still do. My father was never able to afford a place and he wanted to work low wages so that we have food stamps and medicaid. We live here and pays 600rent a month. My mom moved to the United States last year and we struggled at first. I got a job as soon as I could and I've been working my *** off. My aunt and uncle recently (few months ago) sold their nail salon and are now living at home. My aunt always sits on the couch with her computer ALL DAY LONG and so does my uncle. My aunt was emotionally abusive to my mom, yelling at her for cooking for me, yelling at her for showering once a week. ONCE A WEEK! And yelling at her for everything!!! My mom couldn't do anything because they were the owner, not is. So we always have to keep our mouth shut. I tried to do my thing and never talk to them. I try to work over hours just so i can stay in the store because going home got me depressed . I stayed afterschool for as long as i can just so I can't go home and face this **** hole. I always wanted to just end my life because I've been living like this for 7 years. When i was 12 year old. My aunt told everyone that I had autism because I wasn't socializing with the family and was always hooked on my books in my room. She would always talk about my acne at family reunions and complain all the time.
