Question: My cousin keeps having kids with deadbeat fathers. She was abused as a kid. Is this normal behavior for sex abuse survivors?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:50 PM PST

Her mother's live in boyfriend abused my cousin for 2 years until it was discovered and he was arrested. People tell her since the offender went to jail and is no longer in the family she needs to get over it and move on. I am not sure this is possible. It has been over 20 years since the abuse and she has loser boyfriends and makes kids with them.

Question: Since my Mom is an alcoholic I am not allowed to have friends over. How do I stop feeling so sad about this?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:40 PM PST

My friends parents don't want their kids over at my house cause of my Mom. My father is mostly out of the picture cause he does not love me and so I only see him in the summer. So I am alone with my Mom all day and she is always mad and insulting people to me cause she drinks alcohol all day like her Mom did. She denies it and says I am making up nonsense when I complain. Christmas was horrible cause none of the extended family would have my Mom over so they didn't ask me either. I was at home listening to my Mom insult people all day. I cried all day on Christmas Please help. I can't go to Al Anon cause my Mom will find out I am 15 by the way.

Question: Has there EVER been a situation involving a teenage FATHER?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:26 PM PST

Has there EVER been a situation where a single teenage FATHER is raising a child alone because the MOTHER doesn't want to be involved? Yes, I know this isn't likely to happen. What I'm asking is if it's EVER happened. At ANY point in history. I'm just wondering.

Question: Can cps place child with another parent if they don’t feel safe?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 12:34 PM PST

DISCLAIMER:: IM NOT BEING HIT. with living with both my dad and step mom, i deal with some things. they both treat me terribly. my dad treats me the same way he treated my mom and that's part of the reason they divorced. i was twelve when i decided to live with my dad, i felt bad that he didn't have me. and from the way he made it sound- paying child support, and being a single parent (he was at the time) was a lot for him to handle. and so i fell into it and felt bad for him. i went to live with him and realized for myself that he is the way he is. my momma didn't want to influence me any sort of way, she wanted me to see it for myself. which i have. my old counselor even said she thought i was being verbally/ emotionally abused. anyways. i've dealt with depression and anxiety because of all of it. i've gone to a therapist- my mom found out that i was cutting and she immediately got me help- and then i had to stop going because my dad didn't want me going. so i have no one to talk to now. i had a connection with my counselor and i felt comfortable talking to her. progressively my feelings have gotten worse. i don't want to kill myself- i just don't want to exist because of this. being 15, i shouldn't feel like this. i'm scared that some day all of this will overwhelm me and something bad will happen. i want to move back in with my mom and have my life be happy again. i shouldn't feel this way. i cant help it though. i feel like if i was living with my mom that i'd be better. help? any answer helps. thanks!! ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.1.04

Question: Help!!! My brother is a loser?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 12:23 PM PST

My brother is 39-years-old, he will be 40 in June and he is a loser. He still lives with me and my parents. I'm 19-years-old and I have a job, I go to college and I plan on moving out soon. He is very childish and he has anger issues. He always comes out of his room yelling at everyone, he's always telling me that I'm a loser and that I'm never going to be successful. He acts like he's so successful and rich or something. He thinks he's better than everyone. He smokes, he drinks alcohol, and he always tried to get me to smoke but I don't want to. What should I do? Can I legally kick him out of the house since I'm am adult?

Question: My Mom's brother is an alcoholic. Why might it be that my Mom keeps it a secret and the family is so tight lipped about it?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 12:04 PM PST

My Mom is a hypocrite as she gossips about my step-father's own father who was an alcoholic but not gossip about her brother but keeps it a secret. My step-Dad's father died long before we knew my step-father.

Question: What is the right thing to do in this situation?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 11:34 AM PST

I was at a restaurant waiting to be seated when my sister's ex husband Sam walked in. He saw me and came over and give me a hug. We had a brief conversation and he asked me to join him for dinner as his guest. He asked how long it would be before we could be seated and they told him 45 minutes to an hour. He suggested we go someplace where we could be seated sooner. We went across the street to Ruth Chris steak house restaurant. We were seated immediately. When I saw the menu I knew why there was not a wait to be seated. The CHEAPEST item on the menu was $50. Sam saw my discomfort and said ignore the price. Order what you want and I did. It was the BEST meal I ever had in my life. I thought it might be awkward having dinner with my sister's ex husband but it wasn't. We had a great meal, great conversation, and a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. As we were leaving it just slipped out of my mouth. I said this was a lot of fun, can we do it again some time. He said call me any time. When I got home, Oh My God, I realized what I had done. I had asked him for a date sometime in the future. What was I thinking? Should I tell my sister and ask her if she is OK with it. If not, should I forget the whole thing. She doesn't tell me who she dates so should I tell her who I date. As you can see I am REALLY CONFUSED about what I should do. Please advice me. Thanks.

Question: How can I get my biological father to accept that I don't want contact with his other child?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 10:46 AM PST

My bio dad has two kids, me and a 14 year old daughter (my half sibling). I was not raised by him and barely have a relationship with him. I've only met his other daughter a handful of times since her birth. He pushes me to have a relationship with her, and has it in her head that I'm her big sister and want a relationship with her, when I don't. I'm 24 years old and have no attachment to this girl. He has gone behind my back and given her my phone number so she can call and text me, which makes me extremely uncomfortable, he nags me about seeing and speaking to her every time I see him, and even brought her to my grandmother(my mom's mom)'s funeral which he had absolutely no right to do, in an attempt to "reunite" us (I was LIVID as she has never met my maternal grandmother, is not a part of that family, and does not have a relationship with me). I have already asked him numerous times to stop trying to force two strangers who are 10 years apart in age to suddenly be sisters, and stop leading her to believe that I want a relationship with her. But he refuses to accept that I'm not interested in the idea. I have 5 siblings that I grew up with from my mom and step dad that I love and even they hardly get time with me because my life is hectic. My bio dad doesn't take into consideration how this makes me feel or what I want, because his feelings and wants are all that seem to matter to him. How do I get him to respect my choice of not wanting contact with his other daughter?

Question: My cousin boycotted her brother's wedding cause of a fight they had. She banned her kids from going. Is this child abuse towards the kids?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 10:21 AM PST

The kids wanted to go and one, the youngest, was going to be flower girl. The cousin of mine had a fight with her brother. I don't know the issues though the cousin is sensitive and her brother moody. Nothing happened that is a threat to the kids though, just adult issues. So was it abuse for her to ban her kids from having fun at a wedding in order to get the obnoxious brother back? I ask cause my Mom used to do this to me when I was a kid and it hurt me a lot.

Question: My sister likes to say mean things with no consideration of how it hurts others. How do I respond politely without allowing her to hurt me?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 10:19 AM PST

My sister is an adult so it is adult bullying, not a little kid. Sister is 23. Our parents enable it.

Question: My aunt is a bad person everyone says. Should I feel any obligation to see her again?

She is mean to people and uses them for her own ego. She mistreats her son while spoiling her two daughters. She is a bully.

Question: Desperate for advice.. lazy brother in law?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:14 AM PST

So my brother in law has been living with me and my fiancé for about a year now ever since his mom kicked him out. He was kicked out of school to the point he just stopped going and his mom works 2 jobs and has other kids so she didn't really push him to either. He was stealing, doing drugs and had no where to go besides the streets so his older brother/ my fiancé took him in hoping he could get him back in high school and on the right track seeing as he'd just graduated from college. Immediately we were having problems with him. His first week he disappeared. No school, nothing. He was at a friends playing video games all day instead and we heard nothing from him until the kids parents called us and said to pick him up or they'd call the police as he was stealing from their home and doing pills and ****. He seemed to have gotten his act together for a little after that, now it's back to square one. We need him to be more independent if he's going to stay here. Neither of us have the time to be on his case everyday as my SO works all day and I'm always at school so he uses that opportunity to skip. He doesn't cook for himself, he doesn't clean for himself, he sleeps ALLLLL day, he goes to school and work whenever he feels like it to the point were he got fired. He's even stolen our car and went MIA a few weeks ago. I just want to see him do better for himself and we just don't know what to do at this point. He's 17. Any advice?

Question: How do I tell my biological father that I do not want a relationship with his other child?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 08:50 AM PST

My biological father signed his rights to me away when I was five, but my mother always allowed him to see me a few times a year at his request. I'm not close with him, but I do still meet up with him once every few months even now at 24 years old. My problem is that he has another daughter who is 14 that he is trying to force me to have a relationship with. I've been around her a handful of times since her birth but I do not know her and do not think of her as my sister. He does not respect that I do not want contact with her and does things like give her my number without asking me and having her contact me randomly which is super uncomfortable. He nags me about having a relationship with her whenever I see him, and at one point he even brought her to my grandmother(my mom's mom)'s funeral and she said something about reuniting even though she was never my sister and I had to hide how angry I was because he should not have brought here there at all. I have asked him repeatedly to stop trying to force two strangers who are 10 years apart in age to suddenly be sisters, but he doesnt listen. I was not raised with this girl, I do not know her, and I feel extremely uncomfortable when she contacts me because he has it in her head that I'm her big sister and want a relationship with her, when I don't. My life is just beginning, it's super hectic, and I already have 5 siblings that I grew up with that I barely even have time for. How do I get him to stop trying to force this?

Question: My parents let some people come and kidnap my brother and take him to a place called Discovery Ranch. How can I get him back home?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:14 AM PST

Some transport guards came early in the day and got him and I wasn't even told so I could say goodbye. It has been over a month and all we can do is write to him. We couldn't even see him for Christmas. My brother is my role model and now he is gone at this place in Utah. He had been fighting with our parents a lot and hanging out with people my parents didn't like so they let these guards kidnap him and take him to this place in Utah. It is a year round school on a ranch for teens whose parents think they are bad. How can I get him back home? My sister doesn't care he is gone but I do cause I have a heart. I am scared to complain or my parents might have someone take me away.

Question: How to tell my brother in a nice way that he cannot crash by me?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:05 AM PST

Ever since I met my half brother last year, he always asks me for something. Always wants something, i dont mind helping him whe I could but this one has gone too far. He is telling me that he wants to crash at my apartment until he gets called for a job that he has applied to in another country. He lived with his mom and decided to move out on his own for God knows whatever reason. I dont want a roommate, especially him because I know that he will never leave. He will ask me to drop him places, he will ask to borrow my car and all these sorts of things. I moved out so that I can pursue a woman and have privacy and comfort as a factor for her moving in with me. He lies alot, and i am pretty sure that he hasnt applied for any new job, and will just stay here and share the rent, taking up space. Even if he applied, there is no guarantee that he would get the job. So, help me structure a sentence in a nice way telling him that he cannot stay with me.

Question: My mother spends the money we give her?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:57 AM PST

Between me and my sister we give her $420 per month this helps with her rent and water. My mother spends the money we give her on her ciggs, etc. Than later throughout the month she bitches about the bills when they are over maxed. My mother doesn't get an income nor is she trying to better herself by getting a job. Seems like she wants us to take care of her. I moved in to help my mother because she was sick and couldn't work. Her doctor ruled that, but she can do some type of work because disability didn't see where she was disaabled. I'm in the process of moving soon. Any suggestions for this situation. What does it seem like?

Question: Am i a bad person for doing this?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:55 AM PST

My dad likes to smoke weed and i find it funny that he scrambles to hide it whenever i walk outside. I made a challenge to see how fast he han hide his stuff and sometimes i'll say loudly "im gonna grab this outside" and sometimes I'll just walk out and watch him scramble... he thinks i dont know about it lmao

Question: Mother kicked him out now my brother wants to come and stay with me. ADVICE PLEASE?

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 12:57 AM PST

So basically I'm married and 27 years of age. My mother neglected all of her kids for a man that beats her, cheats and never worked a job in 10 years. Our younger brother who is now 20 was the only one still staying with her and now she has kicked him out, on the street with nowhere to go. She basically told him that she would purchase a plane ticket for him to move in with me or my sister and she didn't even ask us. I wouldn't mind my brother staying with me but I feel as though he's very spoiled, very rude and as per my mother and himself he doesn't want to go to school and just wants to party. I don't want to allow him to stay with me and he comes down and doesn't do anything with himself and I have to be the bad guy and kick him out. My sister feels the same way. My husband basically told me no that he doesn't want anyone staying with us and I feel I have to respect him but I don't know what to do. Advice is needed please because I feel it's very selfish for my mother to just voluntarily tell him that he can stay with us knowing that we are still trying to get ourselves together as well.

Question: How can i convince my parents to let me go to a concert?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:28 PM PST

Recently, i have asked my parents if they can let me go to a concert and without even hearing me out their direct answer was "no". Their first excuse was that "you're too young" then "your grades are bad". I understand that my grades aren't all to well but keep in mind that i only have one D in math (which is really difficult in my opinion since it is calculus) and the rest of my grades are A's and B's. I don't see why they shouldn't let me go to this concert. I do house chores without being told to and never get in trouble. I'm 16, and i understand that in not mature enough either but i really want to go to this concert. i have a job so i am willing to pay all of the expenses. How can i convince them to let me go?

Question: How do I talk to my grandma about accepting my boyfriend?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:27 PM PST

So I live with my grandparents (I'm 15) and they're huge on Christianity. I'm not (I'm an atheist), but I can't say so or I'll get in a crap load of trouble. Anyway, my grandma always has three rules for my sister and me in order to have a boyfriend: he has to be a good person (responsible, nice, etc.), he has to "love Jesus," and she has to approve of him. Well, there's this guy and he's absolutely amazing; he's a good person and she approves of him but he's an atheist. We've known this family for a while and we don't see them often, as they live 2 hours away. My grandma is iffy about him because he's not a christian and that's literally the only thing she has against him. Out of his parents and my grandparents, she's the only one not sure about it. She says I need to take responsibility for myself because I'm in high school but she still controls everything. How do I talk to her about letting me make this decision myself?

Question: How to deal with a biological parent as an adult.?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:25 PM PST

I was born to 19&21 year old parents. My biological father signed over his rights to me so that my stepdad could legally adopt me when I was 5. I was raised by my stepdad, but my mother always allowed my bio dad a few visits each year because she's a saint. My problem is his attitude. He always has something negative to say about my parents, and acts entitled to a better relationship with me than my dad because he's the biological parent, even now when I'm 24 years old and agree to see him here and there. He also has another daughter whos life he's involved with, who is 14 and he's trying really hard to force me to have a relationship with her. Even giving her my phone number for her to call and text me without asking. I've been around her a handful of times since her birth but I do not know her at all and I'm extremely uncomfortable whenever she contacts me because it feels like a random 14 has my number and is trying to be my friend. I've told him that I don't view her as a sibling, and that contact with her makes me uncomfortable because he's literally trying to force a friendship between two strangers who are 10 years apart in age but he harps on the whole "you're sisters!" thing. He's such a pain that I've considered cutting all contact. I don't want it to come to that, so how can I get him to understand that I am an adult, with my own life, and do not want a relationship with his other child(at least at this point in life)?

Question: My dad and mom have died and I have both their houses, should I keep one and let my daughter have it when she grows up?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:23 PM PST

My dad and mom are separated and I have a fourteen year old daughter. My original plan was to sell both of them but now I'm wondering if I should just let my daughter have one for when she's 18. Thoughts?

Question: May I please get your opinion on this situation so I can help my father and my mother?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:20 PM PST

My dad ate on the couch without a plate spilling food. The plate was right next to him but he has a problem with using it. He spills food on the couch and their are stains and crumbs on his clothes. My mom and sometimes myself have to pick up after him and normally it's fine. He's a good man and parent but his big ego and selfishness as well as carelessness can get the best of him at times. Tonight I told him "dad use your plate, guess you will have to pick up after you", he responded "your mom" and he kept eating the way he was while watching tv and ignoring and not caring. I pay for the tv so I shut it off and told him that's unlike him and he knows it's not right. He responded "don't get confused at who is the parent here". Sometimes he can be a nasty person and I can't believe it. I want your intake on this situation and to see your guys views, appreciate your time and help. Normally he gets upset at people who act like he was, my mom does some wrong things too but this time it was him. I feel so bad watching egos battle with no heart of care for each other and it's an ongoing issue but they stick together and love each other. My dad walked away to his room like he normally does it's very rare that he says sorry or accepts things, my mom chases after him. He lets things go that my mom does too, don't get me wrong, we are happy and they are greatest people, These issues are not ok though and I want them to open their minds.

Question: I think this guy likes Me?? (part 4)?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 07:47 PM PST

At work there is this guy that i like, he's very friendly and personable to me and other people, but he talks to me more than anyone else at work. He's friendly to other people but I think he likes to talk to me more cause I'm kind of shy. I get nervous, not the social type. Maybe he's trying to get me to open up more, that's what I'm trying to do,but our talks seem kind of awkward, we short talk and don't know what else to say. I don't mind talking to him, I can be super nice, say hi back to him when he comes in to work. And he would ask me when I get off work, i would tell him. But our age differences are about 50+ yrs apart, he's probably in his 60s,maybe 70s, He's a good looking guy, with nice combed back hair, glasses, tall, and i LOVE the smell of his cologne. He's becoming more friendly and approached me several times. I've seen him walk around where i was several times during work, i would look at him and smile,not say anything. He came up behind me on a register, touched my shoulder and said I'll be right behind ya. He's even touched my back once when he picked up a mess he left behind. I rang up a few items for a customer,they put big box of beer on the belt for me to scan,but it was a little heavy to lift. But he came behind me, and asked me if I needed help lifting it, and I told him i think i got it, maybe i should of just let him help me. I like him around, he picks on me, make funny jokes, makes me laugh. I'm not giving up, I think he's single, he's retired

Question: My aunt won't let her kids see us cause she is mad at my Dad and Mom. How do I get her kids to know I miss them and still like them?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 07:06 PM PST

We are all teenagers so the same age. The aunt is punishing her kids to get my parents back and my Dad is punishing me to get the aunt back. My Mom is the only good one as she told me I can see who I want just to be careful since the aunt is mean sometimes. I feel bad my Dad and the aunt are being bullies as well as my aunts husband. We couldn't even see them for Christmas last month. It was the worst Christmas ever.

Question: I didn’t have the..best...birthday today. I’m grateful I got gifts, I know some don’t, but I guess it was a bad birthday.?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:34 PM PST

First of all, my mom had to go to work, so I was alone until lunch time. Then, my brother got sick, so I had to put off my birthday dinner. And, my mom forgot to make me my cake. All my friends forgot my birthday. Even my boyfriend! The main things I asked for were: RollerSkates, IceSkahes, and a sketchbook, and headphones. But! I put stars around ice skates. Here is what I got: watercolor material, copic markers, a cat coloring book, and head phones. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate those, but..how do I use markers without paper? I'm not even good at water color either. I like the head phones, but they are super bulky. I don't even use coloring books anymore. So I ended up having 2 things I'm never going to use, 1 thing I might use, and 1 thing I'll use but I look super dorky in them and I'll never use them in public. I had to use rental ice skates for the start of my season, and I just ended up crying in my room, alone. Sure, I'll have a birthday party, but I'm not allowed to get gifts from them. And with aunts/uncles/etc, my mom already told me I'm not getting iceskates or roller skates. How do I get over feeling so blue, I was excited, and it turned out to be the worst birthday I've ever had. I didn't have the best birthday. I know it's not the worst, but how do I get past the blues

Question: Do I have to buy this for my sister?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:33 PM PST

Hi I am 17 a guy. I found this pack of gum on the kitchen counter WITHOUT a name on it. I didn't even know it was my sisters gum in the first place. I only had a half of the pack. My sister (who is making a big deal out of this) did a group text between me and my parents. she said who had some of my gum. my mum replies back saying I don't have gum. Now we are all home and my sister asked me if I had some of her gum, and I said yes. she said well, you're gonna have to buy me a new pack. I told her first of all,I didn't know it was yours. since its on the counter its basically anyones gum. then my spoiled sister goes crying to my mum saying I had her gum and saying what I said. and now my mum is saying I have to buy her a new pack of gum? I don't want to waste my money on my sister. do I have to buy her a pack of gum?

Question: Is it bad that I can forget important this sometimes?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:14 PM PST

Like I forgot to put the trash outside after school today, or that it slipped my that I had my phone when I was at my friend's house and asked her to call my dad to pick me up. I can be very forgetful and my dad seems to think I'm trying to get of doing chores and stuff like that.

Question: I m turning 16 and I ve been wanting to live with my dad. Is there anything my mom can do to keep my dad and I from being together?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:09 PM PST

I ve been wanting to live with my dad for almost 2 years now, my mom and brother are mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically abusing me. Ive told my dad and my step family about a lot of the incidents; such as, my brother pulling a knife on me and just recently beat me with a hard plastic juice jug in the face. My mom, on the other hand, doesn t hit me but, she is the laziest human I know. She will text me non stop to bring her whatever she wants. Meanwhile, she supplys me with a long list of chores which consist of cleaning the whole entire house when her and my brother sit and do nothing. If I do not complete these chores and she comes out of her room by any chance, all hell breaks loose. I get yelled at for trying and she s never happy with me. Me and her have never had a close mother daughter bond and never will Currently, my dad is paying my mom $450 a week to take care of the bills and more She has convinced him that this is correct amount to pay her. However, I don t see how this is possible due to the child support calculations I ve made, which come out to be around $450 a month if I left. She s told me before she wants to use him for his money. My step family is considering renting a bigger place to accommodate me in their household. However, my dad is conflicted because he doesn t know what my my mom could possibly do to keep that from happening and worse. My dad is brainwashed with my mom s lies and I need to tell him its ok.

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:58 PM PST

My mom bought a new dog outa nowhere without telling our family and it s literally the most annoying dog I have EVER MET. It **** on my bed, eats my underwear, is OBSSESSED with my period blood (I caught it on our couch covered in my blood from dirty underwear she found in the laundry room), she eats my tampons, smells disgusting, loud, tries to kill MY cat every day, jumps on everyone who enters the house ( she s taller than my dad), eats everything, scratches my lil sister and runs away almost every other week. I wish it would just stay away. I literally have never not liked an animal in my whole life until now. Me and my whole entire family want it gone but my mom will not budge. What do we do?

Question: I am hosting a family reunion this summer. What would be good activities that would make the teens and young adults interested in coming?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:00 PM PST

I am much older then most in my generation so most years when I do this all of my parent's generation comes but few in mine. I want to attract my generation more to the event. It is an afternoon event at a park so does not involve hotels or anything.

Question: Does this seem fair?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 04:48 PM PST

I recently had a conversation with mum and i said that I saving for a house because I need to move out being 26 and all. I have a part time job with 2 shifts a week. any ways I asked her if I ever had a financial difficulty such as my car engine breaking or something would her and dad offer some financial support. Mind you I have way less saved than 5K. Any ways her answer was no because I have savings there even though its there for me for when I move out. she said that her and dad want to saving enough for retirement. is this slightly selfish? she then told me do I care more about myself than them? and now I sometimes wish I was never born, like why have me then. I mean I've hardly asked for money off them over the years. Ive driven with a split tyre on highways because I couldn't afford to buy a new tyre and get my car serviced so I went to my grandma for help. I can't wait to get a full time job as I am a recent graduate so I don't have to worry as much about money. but honestly I feel like **** now. is this fair?
