Question: My homework is never good enough for my dad!?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:35 PM PST

My dad forces me to let him check all my homework because he was upset with my last report card, and literally nothing is ever good enough for him! Like, first he'll claim that I'm not showing enough work; then he blames me for showing too much work?! He makes me redo everything if I get the wrong answer, and he won't even tell me what the right answer is, so if I get it wrong a bunch of times, I end up just having to do the problem a bunch of times. And if he literally can't find anything else wrong with my homework, he'll say that my handwriting is messy, and make me write things out neater. He keeps hovering over me, and I hate it, and I don't think it's helping me at all! What should I do?

Question: I found a suicide letter by my mom?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:17 PM PST

I don't know what to do, my legs are shaking as I type this. My mom isn't home right now, just me and my little sister. I was organizing some papers and I found a notebook with a letter in it. The letter was written by mom, I realized half way through it was a suicide letter. She wrote that she felt like a burden to her children and that she wanted to end her life. At the end she even wrote "goodbuy, mom". I was about to cry. I want to talk to her when she gets home and tell her that she's not a burden and that we love her but I'm scared it will make everything worse. I never thought my mom was feeling like this. What do I do?

Question: What to do for brothers 20th birthday?

My brother is turning 20 and I need ideas on what to do for his birthday. Any ideas? He is in college. Thank you!

Question: Feel guilty about breaking promise to my son before he passed?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 10:09 AM PST

My son asked me to make sure nobody takes advantage of his wife for the first few years after his death--but ive been sleeping with her for awhile now, even before he died. how do I get over the guilt?

Question: Why does my mom disagree with everything I say even when she knows I’m right?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:53 AM PST

it sometimes drives me nuts, I used to have a friend that was like that but I stopped being friends with her long time ago because of it but I've been told she was jealous of me, does that mean my mom is jealous to? I know I'm not supposed to to do this but when I'm right I'm like told you I know it's childish but I feel she does that just to try to bother me I don't show it does though.

Question: Should I insist my FIL pay a portion of the bill?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:43 AM PST

My father-in-law came into town to help with the kids while my wife and I were at the hospital with our newest bundle. We had moved to a bigger place before baby came and my wife had forgotten to re-establish the pin code on our cable box to prevent the kids from renting movies. We just got our bill for that month, and there are $120 in charges for rentals. My wife has been in touch with the company if any credits can be applied (which they do if the shows/movies weren't watched), but they were all watched for their full duration. I think we should send a copy of the itemized charges with a letter requesting my father-in-law to pay it. We paid for his ENTIRE trip on top of food and the cost to change his ticket for an earlier return. He left without so much as a "bye" to the kids. We were about to send him home ourselves, when he asked he could bail. My wife was more than happy to send him home, and I couldn't didn't disagree. Would it be wrong to request him to pay this bill? He insisted on keeping the kids at home, but did ZERO to help or watch over them. I thought I was doing the right thing by leaving them home so they could spend time with and get to know grandpa, despite my wife asking me to take them to the babysitter. If I had listened, maybe recovery wouldn't have been so difficult, and we certainly wouldn't have had a $300 cable bill. BTW, my wife doesn't want to bring it up to him. Her father is on a fixed income and will only squawk at how "outrageous" it is. As I said, he did ZERO to help. He didn't even clean up after himself or prepared any food for himself. I think it's only fair that he pay for the charges that occurred while he was here. He knew the house rules, which includes the kids NOT having control of the TV remote. He left them in our room to do whatever they pleased because they were being quiet.

Question: Who is the tallest person in your family?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 07:25 AM PST

That title goes to my cousin who is nearly 7 feet tall. His mother was receiving a diabetes treatment while he was being conceived which turned both him and his brother into freaking giants. His brother is 6'9".

Question: Help... I want my parents to get a divorce!?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:27 AM PST

I'm a 27 yr old female still living at home with my parents due to health issues. For years I have wished for my mother and father to divorce! They have been together for almost 31 years but I can see they are not happy. I love my parent but they are more like roommates! Cultures have alot to do with it I think. My dad was born in Mexico with the traditional woman waiting on him and mom is American born with the belief if you got legs then you get it. I do worry that if they do divorce my father will remarry and start a new family with a 'traditional' Mexican wife and I'll be tossed to the side.... Help please

Question: My sister demands stuff of my parents and they cave in and give her all she demands. How do I stop being so mad at her for this?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:35 AM PST

She is 23. She is moody and a bully. Yet, it is not my problem so I don't want to stay mad at her for it.

Question: I am upset that my narcissistic aunt called my sister "fat and ugly". Should I confront her?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:20 AM PST

My sister is nice to the child my narcissistic aunt mistreats and has as the "black sheep" child. So when they had a dispute of something unrelated the aunt pounced on my sister's looks. I was told all this 2nd hand though. Should I confront this aunt since it is my sister? I seldom have to see the aunt cause of her narcissism but will likely be seeing her at a wedding in April.

Question: My Dad is an alcoholic. How do I get Al-Anon material without anyone knowing?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:18 AM PST

I had a poor reaction to him drinking over Christmas. I had a good Christmas but not as good as I had hoped. Now i am mad at myself.

Question: Is your country full of Mama's boys and girls too?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 04:17 AM PST

Taiwan is full of Mama's boys and girls. Many here never grow up to be independent adults. First, my ex coworker asked me if MY MOM was OK for me to overwork. Are you serious!!?? Why should MY MOM have a say in this if I am the one working, not her??? After I answered "No, my mom doesn't have a problem with that. Why should her?" My ex coworker said "Good, then you can overwork, right?" I said "No, because I have a problem overworking. My mom doesn't, but I do!" Secondly, I went to a job interview and the person who interviewed me asked if my mom drove me there. I said "Obviously not! I came by myself." He then said "Oh wow, you are so independent!" Seriously??? Hello!!! I am 28, not 8! Lastly, I had another job interview. The interviewer asked if I had financial burden. I said "Yes, I have to provide for myself." She ALSO said "So, you are the independent type?" I said "Not really... I don't think what I do now necessarily makes me INDEPENDENT." How ridiculous. Apparently, my standard of independence is far different from the Taiwanese standard! Taiwanese people truly astonish me!!! I hate how there is no sense of individual here. Adult children are viewed as just extensions of their parents!

Question: Was making payments on boyfriends parents ‘06 Ford Escape , 100k Miles’s . I️ have paid (lowball) 3,000 now we’re breaking up !?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 01:29 AM PST

SO. Is I️t legal for my Boyfriends parents to have let me make payments on a car I️ was promised would go to me after I️t was paid off , to just go to him without compensating me at all? I've paid 280 including insurance for 16 or so months and I'm not gonna let them take advantage because they have a cop in the family. Don't wan the car, all I️ want is to keep the old 32" tv , the water damage end tables and coffee table with the futon they gave to us. When I went to go talk to him at his parents house they said they were gonna call the cops on me, is I️t legal for me to leave all his things in bags in my grandmas house next door and tell them they cannot trespass in my property that the furniture was my half his was the car and the stuff he was given for Christmas.

Question: What do I do when my parents hate me so much?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:50 PM PST

So I threw a big *** party during winter break while my parents were in Paris. I had over 30 people at my house and there was underage drinking. I am a sophomore in high school, btw. Nothing bad happened except for the drinking. My sister was there the whole time and she is older and she told me not to tell my parents that she was there. Snitch ***** Bailey ***** here who wasn't even at my party told her mom probably because she wasn't invited and said "I'm sick and tired of everyone talking about that damn party at my lunch table" and her mom told someone who was at the party's mom and now that mom, Shannon, is threatening to tell all parents. Then Shannon decided not to tell anyone because she didn't want anyone in trouble she just wanted everyone safe and everyone was safe so yea. But then earlier today (4 weeks after my party) she knocks on my front door and tells my dad everything. I am basically dead, hit rock bottom, what do I do? Kill myself what? Just rebel on anything cause there's no way I can get their trust back anyways.

Question: Why are so many parents letting their kids get away with harmful behaviours online?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:27 PM PST

I feel like lots of child suicides could've been prevented. For example, there was one girl who was bullied to death over a former boyfriend at 12. She took it to heart because she was too young to be in a relationship (in the very first place as bullying just contributed). Over half the young children I know of have unsupervised media access.. and a lot of the things they watch/see have lots of sexual content, violence, nudity, who knows what else. Some parents are truly good ones who tried their best but some are still letting their children get into bad situations.

Question: Confused! What does this mean?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:24 PM PST

we had been broken up for 2 months and we broke up when we were fighting and in the fight he insulted my mom's clothing in church saying she looked like she came from the club and I said his mom looked like she came from the stable always with the same old clothes. Anyway I texted him 2 months after he said he didn't know what to say and that I offended him I said you're still stuck on the past he said of course he wouldn't forgive me and it would never work out between us because of what I said and that he would never allow to have feelings for me again. But in church 3 months since then he stares at me constantly and when I caught him he smiled and I smiled back. When we ran into eachother (I was standing with my mom I expected him to just walk past) he smiled and said hi and I did the same. I'm confused would he stare at me like this so obviously if he didn't want me back? He also looks happier, straightens his clothes, fidgets with his hair face etc. But he's not making a move?

Question: I was diagnosed with a brain tumor on vacation and my parents didn t come visit. Should I forgive them.?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:46 PM PST

I live in Michigan but was on vacation with my wife and in-laws in Florida. While I was down there I sneezed and fractured my skull due to a backup of CSF because of a tumor blocking my third ventrical I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and had 3 surgeries 2 being brain surgeries. My parents never came to visit and my father-in-law called them everyday with updates. Now my parents don t have alot of money and I don t know if they could afford for my dad to take off work but my mother doesn t work and my in-laws offered to fly them down to see me but they didn t come down. I wasn t going to say anything because I knew it would start family issues but the other night they got mad at me because I forgot to pick something up from them I told them how I felt and now we are in a big fight and I don t know what I should do. I don t want to wreck my relationship with my parents but my feelings are hurt.

Question: Did I get a good enough punishment?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:45 PM PST

So my brother and I were arguing about who got to use the laptop I was going to use for homework, but he argued back and said he wanted to watch videos and that it was more important. So he grabs it from my hands and looks like he is about to break it (He held it above his head which sort of startled me) So i push him and grab the laptop simultaneously. It was a hard enough push to make him fall, but no damage. My dad sees the whole scenario and comes over to me and whoops my butt pretty hard (hard enough to make my butt hurt really bad whenever I sit down) and suspends my phone for 2 weeks (I'm typing using my laptop RN). It was a pretty forceful push so I could see where he was coming from. I didn't mean to hurt him but I got startled and had little to no reaction time to figure out what to do. I'm no making an excuse for what I did, I think it was not arguably wrong. I think I probably deserved what I got and I was just curious if anybody else's parents would do the same?

Question: What is a good birthday gift for a boy that's turning 14?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 08:20 PM PST

I never saw my daughter until she was about 6 when i started visitation with her.me and the mother had a really bad break up where she took advantage of me in many situations and was very disrespectfull to my family.knowing that i wasnt going to be able to do visit for very long due to financial reason i got the judges permission to allow my parent to come with me on a visit to see their granddaughter.my mom gladly went but my father refused to go and i never asked him why,it really hurt me that he didnt go.should i hold a grudge against him that he didnt go?

Question: My mom found my vibrator!?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 08:14 PM PST

Okay so I'm age range 12-14. My mom has always been chill with "discovering your body" and that ****. But whatever. Anyway, so we were in one of our mother-daughter fights and I start stomping upstairs and she screams "BY THE WAY I FOUND YOUR VIBRATOR" randomly out of no where. And my brother and dad were home and I'm not sure if they heard or not. Anyway, so I run to my room but before I lock my door she opens it and starts talking to me about it. How do I make this less awkward like what do I do????

Question: Hey, so I know people have way worse family issues than this, but my mum really regularly ignores and/or dismisses what I have to say.?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 08:03 PM PST

Like today she asked me why I bought a hard avocado and I was right in the middle of explaining it and she just walked away and sat down to talk to my brother. It really hurts. I confronted her about it and she ignored me. This all lead to a fight with my brother. When he told me to go die in a hole very far away, my mum started laughing and practically high-fiving him. It's kind of funny, I know, but he really was trying to hurt me when he said it. I know I have a bit of an attitude problem, but my brother is eighteen and he never ever gets told off for the things we both do. Is it my fault? How can I tell my mum that she's hurting me if she just ignores me? I feel kind of worthless in the family. I have to play dumb to get people to laugh and pay me attention. How can I make them take me seriously???

Question: What to do with rude nephew and sister that doesn’t discipline him?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 07:31 PM PST

My nephew is 8 and he's the rudest child ever. He pretends to be innocent and all around outsiders but he isn't. He'll be disrespectful by raising his hands on me and speaking to me in a manner that no child should speak to with an adult(I'm 21) and my sister does nothing about it. Even when I tell him to stop, he doesn't. He doesn't listen to me. Before, I use to discipline him by putting him in the wall(like standing in front of it for a long time) but my sister always gets in between so now it's like I have no authority over him. I never did because it isn't my son, but it's basic discipline protocol in Caribbean families. I don't know what to do. This kid talks back and it's just bad. He's the type to create a mess and I'll say, " Matthew, clean-up." He'll then follow with, " You can't tell me what to do. You're not my mom." He only does this with me. I honestly don't love the kid anymore. He's my first nephew and I literally don't feel emotionally connected to it. Like, I try... But, it's just not there anymore. I use to love him as a baby.

Question: My dad always curses me and shouts at me in filthy words.What should I do?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 07:21 PM PST

This hasn't happened when I was small but after I became like 18 or 19 he became so arrogant to me and the whole family. Maybe it is because of the bad finances and he is very stressed out. But the thing is he never appreciates a thing I do, puts lot of negative thoughts in to my head eg:- Your life wont be a fairy tale , you are just unlucky. Aren't parents suppose to be supportive? It is like he doesn't want me to be successful

Question: Will my doctor be mad if I miss my appointment tomorrow?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:51 PM PST

I don't want to go tomorrow because the weather is going to be real bad but he's from another country and he's visiting. Will he be mad at me? I'm having bad anxiety right now because my parents are saying he won't have anything to do with me anymore. This would make the 1st time missing an appointment since I've been seeing him.

Question: I hate my sister for having kids, I hate kids, how am I supposed to act around her?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:33 PM PST

I'm 25, she's 38. She has 3 kids, the oldest is 13. I am totally against children, do not like hem and don't understand why anyone would want one let alone more than one! She loves them, obsessed over them, has no time for me of course, and it's all about her kids. That's ok but then she actually thinks one day I will have kids and I'll like kids one day. Just because im A woman doesn't mean I want kids. I really am not sure how to react to her because she Can't act like a real sister or friend, she acts more like a mother towards me too or just thinks about her kids.

Question: How to deal with nose picking brother?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:19 PM PST

My brother picks his nose using a tissue, not bare fingers. He wraps a tissue around his finger and really picks rather vigorously. He will do this at the dinner table, in restaurants and in front of anyone. He says he not picking because he's using a tissue. He will even talk and tell a detailed story all the while rigorously picking.

Question: I’m a 16 y/o girl and my 35 y/o brother is my legal guardian. He smashed my phone with a hammer. Is this abuse? What should I do???

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 05:48 PM PST

He kept threatening me for weeks because he keeps yelling at me for back tlaking but I never actually thought he would do it. Now I'm going to lose my Snapchat streaks. What if I'm at school and in an emergency. I hate him so much. He pays for the phone bill but he gave it to me as a gift for Christmas last year so it's MY phone not HIS. And he destroyed my property (I'm on my laptop)

Question: This is more a need for advice than a question. About a relationship with my mother?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 05:39 PM PST

So backstory my mom and dad got divorced when I was 16, she and I were very close before that, after the divorce everything changed , she became the victim when it came to everything, always wanted people's sympathy, she became a different person, when I was 17 she wanted to move us to another state to get away from my dad. I stayed behind and finished high school got a job and a apartment, she wanted to move back and move on with me , I said no bc I knew it would just Make our relationship worse, to keep it short we have become more strained during the years by some pretty crappy things she has done she has trash talked about me to My family and her friends, I had to her personal things i wanted to keep Between us and she went and told others, etc etc....and again just always tries to guilt me about everything down talk and even Down talk me about decisions I make for my daughter. I'm starting to feel guilty bc I know she won't be here forever but I just can't tolerate being around her bc it's a constant pitty party on her part. I just need advice? How to move on and get passed it or Maybe just accept I will never have that mother daughter relationship? Sorry if some things don't make sense, but I just wanted another persons take maybe someone who has been through it? Thank you

Question: How to escape an arranged marriage?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 05:35 PM PST

I'm asking this for my friend. I'm really concerned about her. She's been depressed ever since she found out she would be having an arranged marriage. She comes from Pakistan and is forced to still follow the same religon (not sure which one it is). Her parents say she will be married after the 9th grade, when she's roughly 15/16. She 14 now. I know nonconsensual marriage is illegal in America, but she says they might take her to Pakistan and have the marriage there. Is any of this illegal or preventable? I really want to do something to about this because she deserves a better life.

Question: My grandmother owes 1900 in rent and she expects me to help her out. I'm a 19 year old college student who works part time.?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 04:54 PM PST

Today, my grandmother explained to me that she owes 1900, plus this month's rent and if she doesn't pay it all back by the 22nd, we will be to kicked out. I have no problem contributing because I already pitch in for food and other house essentials. However, I'm scared that she'll try to get me to both help pay the rent as well as buy things around the house. It would be different if it was only her and myself, but it's not. My eldest aunt (50yrs) and my youngest aunt (35yrs), both live with us as well, my eldest aunt has degrees in nursing and my youngest aunt works at a retail store(she makes 14/per hour), even knowing this my grandma isn't expecting them to give her money. She doesn't ask them every week or two, if that got paid and how much they will be giving her, she also doesn't ask because they are paying off their phone bills and things like that. BUT I'M PAYING OFF 1195 TO MY SCHOOL AND I GET NO SYMPATHY!!! And I don't get it, she expects me to help her around the house when I have my own issues and nobody will help me out but eveRhone else doesn't have to do **** because "they paying their phones off" or because "they need lunch when they go to work". My youngest aunt spent almost 1,000 on clothing (she already has enough" and she doesn't get a lecture about the family needs the money. ****, they even wanted me to take a loan out from my school "for the family" and I told them "it's for the family until it has to be paid back." If I could leave, I would.

Question: Am I wrong for not loving my mother because she criticises everything I do and only sees things her way?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 04:30 PM PST

Question: So I've got some immature parents, and it's gotten to the point where they're actually holding me back.?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 04:26 PM PST

Basically, my mom is closed minded. She's unwilling to listen to what I say, acts like my feelings are minimal compared to hers, and never fails to find something to be angry at me for. I kinda suck at school, and, am very lazy about it. And- I get why that could be worrying to a parent, but it seems ridiculously unreasonable for a parent to act as though school is the only thing a child is worth, which is basically what she does. She manipulates me, and I don't even think she knows it, always bringing up how my bad grades somehow reveal that I don't care about her, or what she's done for me throughout my life. It's like she sees me as a broken ******* toy, and, I'm just sick of it. I'm going to have my license soon, and hopefully once I do, I can get started on working my way out of this house. But I've got a bad feeling that unless I can get her to realize her unfair way of thinking, she's gonna get in the way of that. And unfortunately any time I even begin to disagree with her, she throws an emotional tantrum and switches the subject back to my grades and how I'm a waste of potential. It's kind of a weird thing- going to yahoo answers for such a personal problem, but I've just gotten so fed up at this point that I don't care. If anybody has any advice for getting her to listen to anyone but herself, it'd be much appreciated, because as things are now, I feel trapped, like I don't have any control over my own life. So, to hopefully put a stop to the inevitable stream of "you're the immature one" responses, I'll go ahead and say, that's not informative or constructive. Especially considering the fact that this small post isn't nearly large enough to give someone a full perspective of the situation. Keep in mind the fact that you know nothing about my behavior. If you don't have advice, or an answer, please just move on.

Question: Is it acceptable to use your spouse and children as an excuse to not take care of elderly parents who live in poverty?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 03:57 PM PST

I saw a documentary about some elderly people who live in poverty but their children said they couldn't help because they have a spouse and children to take care of. Can't they at least find some way to help instead of doing nothing?

Question: My parents get EXTREMELY stressed over the smallest inconvenience and I don't know how to deal with it without getting stressed myself?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 03:49 PM PST

One of them can't remember where their keys are at, one of us lose our phone, can't find the remote or the charger, any small thing like these results in anger, stress, frustration, and pissy attitudes. My sister and I put our shoes in the kitchen and I notice one of my boots was missing (it still is) and they both freaked out. My dad said that I'm not allowed to do anything until we find it and that if I didn't just throw them around (which I don't) we'd have it right there My mom literally kept accusing me of not looking for it and said "You should be helping instead of sitting around, I don't want to do this but here I am because I know you need them" There attitude makes me want to react the same way because they make me feel like crap for it. It helps nobody and only makes the situation worse than it actual is. I just want to know how I can ignore them and not let their attitude get to me the next time someone loses something.

Question: Down Syndrome. My brother is overweight and nobody seems to care.?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 03:46 PM PST

I'm 15/boy. My brother Brett is 12 and he weighs 150lbs. My mom just feeds him and doesn't know when to stop. She can give my brother (Brett) strawberry's but he'll sit there and eat the entire thing and they think that's ok. I'm really scared of him getting diabetes a high blood pressure and stuff like that. But my mom and Dad don't do anything to help. I understand that it's a thyroid problem but that's no excuse for them not to get him on a diet.

The reason I ask is because my Mother has done the following things since I had a stroke.... 1) Controls who I can hang out with and where I can go with them. 2) Often finds things to point out why I can't live independently. 3) Has told people I need 24 hour care when that is ABSOLUTELY untrue. 4) Claims I don't think right when I try to establish independence from Her or disagree with Her opinion. 5) Tells me that I am incapable of things rather than be encouraging. 6) Paints a picture for other people and Herself that I'm some sort of invalid and really need Her. 7) Wants me to lie about my level of capabilities to reporting agencies so we don't lose our home caregiver services. 8) Does not want me to be independent of Her.

Question: My cousin had a baby and placed the baby up for adoption. Only me and her mother know. What if someone finds out and she thinks I told them?

I have been entrusted with a great secret so I want to keep it. Marking anonymous since it is a secret in the family only I know (and my cousin's mother, ex-wife of my uncle).

Question: How do alcoholics recover and is my Mom right that they don't love their families if their alcoholic or they'd stop?

My Dad is an alcoholic and my Mom says he doesn't love me or he'd pick me over his drinks. She divorced him cause of it.

Question: My brother did drugs, slept around, and had hateful anger. Our parents say he is doing great now. How do I know if they are being truthful?

I haven't seen him in over a year. Our parents talk like he is doing great but I wonder if they are just covering up for him more. At the same time if he is doing great then I don't want to claim he is still bad. He did do rehab for the drugs. Our parents enable their kids bad behavior especially with my sister who has conduct problems even as an adult. They did it to me also.

Question: My Mom's sister upsets everyone. How do we avoid having to see her again without offending our grandmother?

Question: I caught my 6 yr old watching porn?

Ok so my daughter is 6 and idk why but she LOVES Sonic the hedgehog, the video game character. She was watching Sonic videos on YouTube so I left to go do taxes. I came back 30 minutes later and she was literally watching a video of two dudes kissing on a bed. She started crying and said that while watching Sonic videos she started looking at sonic characters kissing and then somehow got stuck with THAT. I just sent her to her room, and now idk what to do??? To everyone saying this is fake, I don't need your trolling. Help me figure this out or **** off. To everyone asking about parental controls, I DIDNT KNOW IT EXISTED AND I DIDNT KNOW I WOULD NEED IT. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT NOW YOU IGNORANT *****.

Question: My brother is adopted. My other two siblings are not. Does this mean my brother is not really my brother and more just a close friend?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 02:28 PM PST

My Mom's cousin gave birth to him and was a drug addict. My Mom adopted him and the cousin died a year later. It was her second cousin so biologically my brother is my 3rd cousin. So is he not really my brother? Is it normal I am not as close to him as my real brothers? There is a big age difference as this brother is a lot older. He is 45 now and I am 33 with my other siblings 36 and 31.

Question: My uncle married a redneck. Is this why her grandparents were 2nd cousins?

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 02:13 PM PST

Also her brother is a redneck and my Mom didn't want me to go to a party he was at when I was a kid for my protection. Is this racism against rednecks? They also have an uncle on his wife's side who makes racially offensive comments and is a redneck but I don't know that one as well cause he died of alcoholism. Lastly, half their family drinks too much and has kids out of wedlock. There are not any sibling marriages in that family though although there was a sibling abuse case (no one I knew) This is my Mom's brother (actually half-brother).
