I have cousin on my dad side and I never really liked her. When we were little she would come over MY house; we were supposed to be playing together and she would say ugh stop following me, remember it's MY house. It would be my birthday but my aunt would show up but not my cousin because she was at her friends house. Later on they just stopped coming. My cousin always wanted to be so grown and say stuff was for babies and bossy remind you she only 2 years older. Sometimes they would invite me to their house for a sleep over and I always felt like I could've stayed home, but my dad sort of made me go most of the time. When I was 12 and she was 14 and it was thanksgiving, she sat on the couch on her phone while me and my other cousin (mom side) were upstairs. My aunt didnt tell her to get up and go up stairs. When I was 13 my parents got divorced and my family was separated because of this my aunt has started to get us together. I think it's pity. She invited me to my cousins 16th B-Day when I was 14 and my cousin ignored me and was off with her friends. My aunt still tries to get us together now, I'm 15 and she is 18. Recently my aunt invited me over her house, my cousin picked me up, in the car ride to their house it was quiet, so I tried to make a little small talk like is she ready to graduate but the answers were a dead end. My aunt and us went to a trampoline park, out to eat and she was on her phone while me an my aunt talked. What can I do?

for the past few months, my 17 year old brother has been moody and has been acting really really weird around our mom. if she touches him in any way, even just a brush on the shoulder, he'll usually flinch and/or tell her to not touch him. once he even snapped and angrily said "DON'T" and pushed her off of him. he came home one day and installed real locks (the kind that can only be unlocked with a real key instead of just the little puny doorknob locks that we had before) on his bedroom and bathroom door before our mom got home. our mom was always complimenting his hair and telling him how gorgeous it was and how she's glad he isn't blonde like our dad, so my brother went and dyed his hair blonde a few days later. my brother used to be fine around my mom, but things are suddenly different now. i'm scared to ask my brother what's going on because it seems like a sensitive subject

Its really embarrissing cause the neighbours cab hear us all the time. Mostly is my moms fault cause she cant control her emotions and gets mad as soon you ask her something.. im so sick of this bs

I'm in school, and I have a close friend (I'll call her Amy) who tends to really exaggerate things. But recently Amy's been saying things - just in everyday conversations, like it's perfectly normal - which basically amount to her being occasionally beaten by her mum and her brother (who is in high school) not being allowed to read or use electronics unless it's for school, and the consequences for doing so (or disobeying in general) are severe. I've never met her mum, but another friend of mine has and says she's very nice. I've met her dad, and he strikes me as very quiet and a little... creepy, to be honest. She says her mum gets mad and threw plates at the floor and hit her brother with a wooden spoon so hard it broke and starved him for a day because of something minor. (I don't remember what specifically) Recently, she's also been missing from school "sick" quite often for longer and longer periods of time, from maybe one day every fortnight to three days every one week, but coming back without so much as a sniffle and also talking to me and other people less and less. It's definitely not a happy home, especially considering how she told me her parent's actually only stay together for the kids and even said that explicitly to them. Then again, Amy does exaggerate a LOT but her family is definitely strict, so I don't know if Amy or her brother are really getting abused or if it's just spanking, which I still disagree with, but is not nearly as bad OR illegal.

My son is very short tempered. he get angry for the smallest of things....he raises his voice at his father and his younger siblings... told him to meditate...but he says...he s not able to concentrate...don t know wat to do... should i take him for counseling ....pls help me out with this situation...thanks 😊

I just wanted to know because this has been happening all my life. My parents are so angry and yelling and physically hurting each other one minute and the next they are all happy. Normally when they are happy though they laugh about ways to kill each other and how they are together and this is weird. Sometimes they are happy for real but those moments are quite rare. Is this normal behaviour for parents because I am very confused , please help me to understand if you can... thank you very much xx

So I have a question for someone to help me out. I have a family farm I love and hold dearly to me its what I wanted all my life. My dad died 5 yrs ago and its only my brother with her and he isnt much help. My problem is I also have a fiance I love her to death and we have a 11 month old baby together. My mom and her don t get along at all and I want her and my mom to get along the farm is left to me but she dont want to move put there cause they don t get along. My dream is the farm but I ant her and my daughter in my life so can some one please tell me how to solve this I have tried to get them to talk but they won t.

31 and 29ish. Kicked out of his father's home. Never paid rent. Addicted to pot. Spend half their income on pot. Have smoked it behind my house, when I said not to. Too lazy to apply for Section 8 housing. Work 12-14 hours a week doing retail. Agreed to pay $20 per month token rent. In 4 months, only received $10. They are complete losers. They take 45 minute showers. My gas and electric bill jumped $150 per month because of them, I can't afford to support them. They need to support themselves and grow up. If I kick then out, the only "warming station" in a poor city of 35,000 has only 10 beds. I have donated to this place. I would hate to think these two losers would displace someone who is needy and incapable of getting their lives together for some other reason, so they can smoke pot. They have a car. It is a POS. They are behind on insurance, if it hasn't lapsed already. Do I kick them out or wait until late March when it is warmer and the warming center is closed?

The reason I ask is because, my Mother has a way of always making me feel defensive. Ever since I've been in recovery for a stroke I feel like She will point out mistakes or faults of mine and then use them against me as reasons why I can't live alone as I did previous to the stroke. Even my female therapists(who are also Moms) have seen Her as a roadblock in my recovery because She limits me in what I'm "allowed," to do. She has even told others that I need 24 hour care when the truth is I do not. She seems to have a fear of leaving me alone, and anytime I disagree with Her point of view She says I don't think right because of the stroke. I feel like She wants me to stay inder Her roof forever.

I'm 17 and I live in Ireland , I'm a girl and I'm in my last year of school until I go to college , but I have so much family problem my dad molests me , and my mam emotionally abuses me so bad , my mams addicted to cigarettes and medicine and she's constanly angry . We have little to no money and I depend on them for everything , I am not able to get a job as it means we get paid less. My dad also has leukemia . I just need to move out I am one of 3 singles I am the middle child and I'm the targeted one , I just can't live here anymore

My mom is very over protective. I love softball and ive been wanting to join my schools team but she doesnt let me because by the time practice ends, its going to be dark and we live in a bad side of the neighborhood. I feel trapped because whenever i want to do something that makes me happy or helps me succeed in life, she always shoots it down. But when my brother was my age she let him be more free and do what he wanted. I just wanna know how i can earn my moms trust so i can actually be happy.

Someone please help me with a list of questions

I had my first baby in October and that s when our main issues started. My husband s father has always been an asshole and they deal with it. I did my best to deal with it these last few years until they came to visit us at the hospital when my daughter was born. We told no one my daughter s name, we wanted to introduce her to each family member and asked nothing be posted on social media so we could enjoy it with just family. My husband s family came to visit first and we made it very clear not to post it, but as soon as they left he posted it with her full name for my side of the family to see even though they hadn t been there to meet her. I of course got very upset and asked for an apology which I don t think I will ever receive and when he texted me "I m sorry for whatever". I decided I don t want to be around him and will no longer go to events where he is present which in turn is of course making me the bad guy. I can only imagine what they say about their sons controlling wife (I have never and will never ban him from seeing his own family, but I am sure they attribute everything to me being a mean person. His mom, who has 7 kids, constantly tried telling me how to parent or questions my choices. In my own family I told them to back off, and they took it in stride and backed off. I tried doing that with his mother but nicer and now his family very obviously hates me. I am sure I could ve dealt with his mom better but the rest is so frustrating I need advice

Okay so my girlfriend (16) has a bad home life like her dad and her mom are drug addicts and her mom is verbally abusive her brother is autistic but she refuses to give him his medications. I'd like to call social services cause she says all the time she hates that place and wants to leave but she says she wants to be there cause her parents are slightly better people with her there I honestly worry for her can someone please give me advice

I am almost 20 and in college, and I know education is important. Yet I can't miss one day of it, and my father makes me go even though he wont give me my freedom that I want at all. Is it just me or my father, or is my father getting old? Everyone lives their own life and I can not get that same exact chance that everyone else does. What should I do?

I was born and raised in Milwaukee and I moved to Minnesota in 2009. When I first moved I had an older sister here she moved away in 2013. I am now by myself just me and my four year old all of our family is Milwaukee my dad, siblings, aunts and uncles etc. I like it here in Minnesota its just everything is expensive compared to Milwaukee. One bedroom apartments in Milwaukee start at $450 and up per month here in Minnesota they start at $700 and up per month. The job that I currently work in Minnesota I can transfer to Milwaukee. Should I go or stay?

My spouses family calls all the time about 1 hr into sleeping and it seems like some kind of curse. We have a home phone and we have to have one and our cell phones. We turn of the cell phones when we can remember. Especially my spouses grandmother. If you do not answer the phone she will call back to back every 5 minutes until she gets an answer and if no one answers she then comes over. She knows I work 10 pm to 6 am and that does not seem to matter because when she has something she needs done or wants to talk about it has to happen right then. I have no idea what to do about this. She has even went to the property manager and was crying wanting to be let into our apartment when we did not answer the door after she had called several times so we turned the phone off. I already have to take amitriptyline to sleep and she just doesn't seem to care. What in the world should I do I have threatened to turn my phone off completely.

So this morning my mom didn't wake up my brother. My dad came home and he was late. He slammed open the door yelling at him saying he's going to be late hurry up. So while he's rushing, my dad's throwing toys and a baby gate against the wall. Then my brother starts crying. My dad yells stop crying or I'll crack your neck. So next he can't find his jacket so he just left after that

My mom acts like I owe her something. She pays her portion of rent every month . This morning she didn't even say hi nor good morning. I got a call from a guy she knows a i like the other day and right when I was gonna answer his call , she turned a video on her phone and turned the volume up to max. So I walked outside to talk on the phone . She's very judgemental . If I'm awake and around she will close the door to avoid hearing me talk to her . If im putting on make up next to her and talking while she's in the mirror putting on make up , she gets weirdly mad and says " im gonna out my make up on in my car". Then I said , ok I'll leave the mirror and then she will be like oh ok then she will continue . This is a mother that always seemed to be by myself . She seems like she's mad at me for no reason . She's also grown increasingly judgemental about my love life. Sometimes she will call and I'll make a joke . She will snap if somethings not even serious . If I'm cleaning after she drops piss on the toilet . She's goes OH YOU are saying I'm dirty ? We were talking about vacations and shes like UM What do you mean I never vacation?! I've been more places than you !!! I'm like ok whoa sorry . She's like yeah whoa whoa hung up the phone and blocked my calls as if it were my fault and says I have a bad attitude. Her attitude has grown worse . To the point now that I don't love her as much . Suggestions ?yeah I need help with rent for now and only trust .

I just moved to a knew area. My family is here, but my aunt is talking about me, and putting me down. 1st off she is a neat freak, and I am not. She stop by my apartment, and now I am the biggest slob, and I am ruining the place. I had a crazy morning last week, and I did have some things laying around. I gave my daughter a quick shower in the morning because she fall a sleep early, I made her breakfast (waffles). We have a dog who wanted to go out 3 times that morning. On top on things it was my daughter 1st day at her new school. I my daughter's pjs laying on the bathroom floor, and the waffle making sitting on the counter, ( that needed to be clean) along with her plate on the kitchen table. The bowl I used to mix was in the sink however. I also made my daughter a fresh lunch while she ate her breakfast. We went off to school. I was going to clean up after I got back, but my aunt got there right before I got back. Now she is saying I'm a slob who just leaves everything, and doesn't know how pick after herself. I didn't make our beds that morning as well Now I am a careless slob who just is going to trash the place.

Would be unfair to not give my daughter a sibling to grow up with?

I think I posted last year that during Thanksgiving dinner my wife's 23 year old son got into it with her dad, his granddad. He lives with them becasue he got too grown here at our house and wouldn't follow the house rules back when he was 15 or 16. Started getting arrested and now has a lengthy criminal record. My step-son now has an 18 month old daughter who he had with him for Thanksgiving dinner and during the fussing and fighting with granddad he packs the baby up and begins to walk the street with her in the cold. Granddad tell him he can't come back to their house either so now he has no where to go. My wife made the decision, without me, to allow him to move back in with us. No, I wasn't on board with that decision. For months, my wife and step-son were always complaining that he doesn't get enough time with his daughter. He may get one day here or there, when he wasn't in jail. OR when the baby momma would allow him to have her the whole weekend he couldn't get her till Sat afternoon or evening but had to have her back by Sunday morning. Or, she's allow him to get her the whole weekend but then that would be cut short because one of her relatives wanted to take her somewhere and they'd come back and get her. I told my wife this was not fair to him so I got the both of them together and told them to come up with an arrangement to where he'd have her from Friday afternoon till Sunday evening, no exceptions. I've been through a custody battle and have full custody of my daughter, now 21 years old. They agreed. A few weeks later and they still hadn't spoken to arrange something so I took the ball into my hands. I began coordinating with the baby momma that I would pick her up Fri afternoon and we would bring her back sunday evening. She fully agreed with that. But she did try me by saying that her dad wanted to come pick her up Sunday morning at 8 AM because he wanted to take her to curch and I said no way, That was my step-son's weekend visitation and if the other granddad wanted to take her to church he'd have to wait till next week when she was home with mommy. Mommy backed down and said I understand. Well, here's the problem. Now that step-son is back living with us we now have a very active 18 month old running around our house and I absolutely love it. She's a joy to have around. Well, my wife is not happy because she likes to get her sleep on the weekend and now she wants to go back to her son only getting his daughter one day during the weekend. I told her that for months when she was complaining that her son wasn't seeing his daughter enough she was all in an uproar. Now that he's living with us and I've worked out a workable arrangement where he gets her every other weekend for the full weekend she's not happy because it interferes with her schedule. I told her that she can't allow her son to move back in with us but then now wants to limit his contact also with his daughter. I told her she can't invite him in and not take everything that comes along with it. Her son needs his visitation and she should have thought about this before complaining he wasn't seeing his daughter enough. His presence is fine in our house but now his daughter, our granddaughter, is keeping her from getting her rest on the weekends. Why can't my wife see that she's wrong here?

Im 24 and he's 23 and I hate how clingy he's gotten now. It's annoying and I wish he would back off and I'm losing my patience. This is one of the reasons why I hate being the only girl too and older sister, because younger brothers can be too annoying. I don't have male friends either because I don't want clingy smothering men. He's always getting into my business as well when it comes to my mother and i's arguments even when i told him not to many times. I think this is how I was with my other brother as well, which is why I'm happy I backed off. I think this is why I blocked him on some social media, because of his clingy ness. How can I give him hints that I want him to back off.

She knew that she came in between and she said it's cool and I didn't do by purpose .. But then she stopped talking altogether .. I feel so bad about myself and i don't know how to approach this

I love primitive ways alot and I'm always laughed at. Any advice?

I really hate my younger sister. Im 15 and my sister is 12. She is a brat. I actually had a good relationship with her before ( even though we fight sometimes )but she changes since we moved last year. Both of my parents spoil her and always have her side. She always whines for small things and do annoying things to me. She also use swear words towards me and wish me to die :( maybe she acts like this because she is on puberty but she has gone to far.. i tried to stop her by talking nicely etc but it doesn't work at all. Both of our parents are working outside of the country. I don't know what to do about her please help :(( ps : my older sister also hates her

My boyfriend and I live downstairs from his older brother and wife. They have a 2 year old. My boyfriend is unemploy right now so he is always babysitting for them. It's so annoying because after a hard long day at work, I just want to come home and relax with him and spend time with him not with his niece and she's literally always here. We hardly even get to spend time together alone because she's either downstairs or he's out late. Sometimes he even volunteer me to babysit his niece when's he's not home without even asking me first and then here comes his brother dropping his daughter off and I feel obligated to do it because I don't want to cause drama. I don't mind watching her sometimes.. once in a while but not all the time especially when I get home from work and I'm tired. I want to be in my bed alone with him not with him and his niece. Does that sound selfish? Am I being ridiculous?

6 months after our father passed away my mother began dating a series of men. She remarried a guy 13 years younger than her who drinks heavily and smokes pot and doesnt have a legit job, 2 years after my fathers death and became an entirely different person. She now is very materialistic and self centered and extremely shallow and has spent all of the money she got from our fathers will on material things . She also seems annoyed by my brother and I and wants little to do with us unless it involves us getting involved in her drama with her new husband when they fight. Is this strange behavior and why is my mother doing this?

for the past few months, my 17 year old brother has been moody and has been acting really really weird around my mom. if she touches him in any way, even just a brush on the shoulder, he'll usually flinch and/or tell her to not touch him. once he even snapped and angrily said "DON'T". he came home one day and installed real locks (the kind that can only be unlocked with a real key instead of just the little puny doorknob locks that we had before) on his bedroom and bathroom door. my mom was always complimenting his hair and telling him how gorgeous it was and how she's glad he isn't blonde like our dad, so my brother went and dyed his hair blonde. what do you think is going on???

So I live in a very small flat with my siblings and parents.I also happen to share a room with both my brother and my sister (small room). I basically have no space , no privacy . Whenever I'm doing anything someone is always with me.i share my wardrobe , my book shelfs , basically everything . The flat is also very bad. The sinks do this really loud noise when ever you run water , the kitchen doesn't have a ventilation so it's all greasy. There's also black stuff coming from some of the ceilings . My brother is the favourite (19). He practically never gets in trouble for anything . He can yell at my mum call her all kindas of things and not get in trouble then when I(17) or my sister (15) do the same we get called horrible names by our parents. He even has his own little study room to revise and do work even though he barely does any? He has his own tv and laptop and what do I have?Nothing. I always try make the best out of my situation , I work very hard in college ( predicted all As ) I also have a job and I go gym often but my whole home situation keeps on getting in the way keeping me sleep deprived and depressed. I sometimes just want to change in piece ON MY OWN, or sleep ON MY OWN. But it's practically imposible. I just want some privacy, idk what to do it causes arguments every single day, I've been even sleeping in the living room for space ( not comfortable as people wake me up). I cnt move out,my only option rn is to cope with it. suggestions on how I can manage?

Last time I saw my bfs nephew he was 14 and shorter than me but he was rebilious and called me names now he is taller than my bf and he's 19 also his face is completely different.. Is this normal or uncommon

I live at home with my parents I'm 24 an I have a 10 month old baby! Since he was born I lived with my childs father but we decided to go our separate ways untIl we get ourself together so I moved back in with my parents! Since then my dad just takes my son out my hands. He's learning to walk so I hold him a lot an he will take him from me an put him on the floor and walk away! I understand the not wanting to Spoil him but i am the only person he knows and clings to since birth a real mamas boy! ( I had my baby out of state and moved to my parents house and they live in another state so they barly saw him!) One day he took my son in his room an closed the door! I don't think he did anything but I didn't like that action! Me an my dad never got a long because I feel he takes advantage of my mother since he hasn't held a job in 14 years either he quits them or he does something that will utlamiently get him fired. My sons cries a lot because he's a baby in a new environment so when I comfort him my parents look at me side eye as if I'm wrong for doing this! I want to tell my child's father but he will flip his lid if he knew this since he doesn't get along well with my dad! An hour ago my dad told my sister to pick my son up when I was standing right next to my child so why is he even making request like that? Maybe he wants me out his house or he doesn't want me having a relationship with my child so close idk!

I am 16 years old (female). My mother and I don't get along often. She always yells and I never seem to do the right thing. Even if she asks me a simple question, she just screams it out. I think she might have slight anger issues (but who am I to judge). My mom rarely let's me out the house to see anyone and I will like she won't ever let me do anything that I WANT to do. What can I do to help this stop?

My boyfriend graduated college last summer and he was living with his parents which was fine because his parents were barely there. He got in a bad fight with his dad and left to live with his YOUNGER sister who's 23 and her 3 year old baby and his 16 year old brother. In a one bedroom apartment on blow up beds. He's 25 and shares a room with his 23 year old sister and her baby and his sisters friend who basically lives there and his little brother. AT FIRST I thought he was just gonna stay there for the weekend until things cooled down. It's now been 7 months!! And he made up with his dad and he gets so angry when I ask him when is he going back home! Is it bad that I hate his living situation ...like sharing a room at 25 is a disgrace to me. Am I wrong?? That I want him to leave?

The thing is, my mom and sister are constantly telling me that I am crazy, that I need a psychiatrist, but they don't say it like they are worried about me, they say it as a way of making me feel bad. Insult, first of I don't remember doing what they say I do, actually I sometimes try explaining my mom how I feel, and instead of understanding me she says that I am with an attitude or am being rude. I remember when I was little, constantly being ignored, constantly being picked on by my own family members, If I said something trying to fit in or get into the family conversation they would completely ignore me, and when I asked my mom why I was being ignored. She said she couldn't understand what I was saying because I was "Babbling" I never did anything to pues them off, since I got a memory, I spended my entire days alone! Got blame by things I didn't do, got ignored, they never listen and they always put me down. Should I get professional help? Because I can't with all this.

I'de like to hear people with siblings who are like mine or even worse. Just so I don't feel like I'm the only person putting up with this crud. Basically my brother is someone who no one can stand living with. He is 22 and his plan in life is to live with my parents then after they die go live on the streets. He barely cleans up and if he does it usually means he's been doing drugs and needs to clean because he's too hyper to sit still. I can't keep any money in my purse because he will take it for cigarettes and get pissed off when it's empty. When he gets mad enough he punches the wall/breaks things then blames it on us for making him mad. If he's sick he will cough on us to try to make us sick.( he'll even blow his snot at the dog to watch them eat it off the floor. YUCK).He wakes up expecting his clothes to be next to him even though he hides his clothes. Almost every morning there's yelling because he doesn't want to wake up for work but we would rather argue with him to go to work than to let him get fired and stay home. So does this sound like anyone else's brother or sister?

My brother is 12 years old and I'm 16, him and I have always fought and annoyed eachother but it never got really really bad , well now it has except it all leads to him , he constantly calls me and my mom assholes or jerks (he calls me every name in the book) his new favorite word is **** , he gets so angry so quick over small small things and he's scary , I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm scared of a 12 year old , when he's angry he grabs any object and either throws it at me or at the wall , he tries to control me like he's a parental figure to me , he refuses to listen to me and barley listens to my mom , sometimes he feels terrible about the way he acts but it still doesn't change the fact that I'm scared and legitimately do not know what to do

But I also lack family of origin

I am 25. I have a boyfriend, 24, whom I feel may still have some growing up to do. Something he said today really bothered me. He comes from a family of 2 pharmacists whom make really great money, fully funded his college education which he couldn't decide a major and then failed out of, my boyfriend is irresponsible with money and has collectors call him, he works in a restaurant and is now going to culinary school, and he just moved back in with his parents. I had a mentally disabled mother, lived with a carpenter dad who was distant and mean, and hateful stepmom, I paid for 1/2 my college with a scholarship and the rest is on a my loan, and I currently live in an apartment by myself and work a corporate job. Anyway, We were randomly talking about how his dad goes to the gym every single morning and is a very productive person. I said that's awesome. None of my family exercises. He said yeah but it gives me a lot to live up to, why couldn't I have lazier parents like others. I said well, you're really lucky. Thinking back that comment pisses me off. He has been given a lot in life and has wasted it. I'm not so great but with what I've had to deal with in life, which I know there is much worse, makes me resentful of his lack of responsibility. What do you think?

I can't deal with my mom because she is always trying to tell me how to do things and giving me advice I don't need or want. My childhood was rough and my parents were really bad drug addicts and have done nothing with their lives so I don't need her to tell me how to parent. My fiance and I just moved into our first house (always lived in apartments) and as my parents are helping us to move our things into the house my mom tells me "I want to see nails in the windows so people won't climb in and get the kids".. I'm like seriously who says that?. She ******* crazy.. I don't want her advice on anything I'm 20 years old and I am already doing better in my life than she ever has.. I want to have a relationship with her but she's always pushing me away with her criticism and bull ****.. what should I do?

But now I come to find out they are very rich and I am middle class trash I had so much fun with his sister but I have no idea how I can face them again . And I myself only make min wage but my parents are middle class

Okay, so my dad makes my life horrible. He is always yelling at me and criticizing me and then telling me he only wants what's best for me. That's a lie, he never lets me correct him or when I'm crying he yells at me to stop crying or if I cry he will yell even more. It's my mom that helps me and tries to make me a better person. She helps me in so many ways, also when I get a bad grade it's automatically my fault and doesn't even ask if I need help. Its weird, but I don't care how much stuff he buys me or how much stuff he gives me, I hate him. Don't tell me I will regret this, because I honestly don't, I just need something to rant to and I'm asking for advice because I can't reslly turn to anyone else. He makes me want to die, no joke. He made me who I am today, an insecure, low self esteem, anxiety having teenager. Trust me, I can't talk to him about it, he is just going to shut me down and make me cry by saying mean stuff or won't even listen. I can't talk to him about anything. Someone give me advice please.

Hi, im 16 and i have two younger brothers ( 6, and 9). My parents have been in an ongoing custody battle for years and it was finally decided that my younger brothers will be moving to my mom's at the end of the school year. I am not included in the agreement so it is assumed ill have to stay here. i live with my grandparents and my dad. it is my grandparents home but my dad has been living here for months. he is an alcholic and can be very wreckless and is usually out of town. my question is - if i were to call my mom and beg her to come get me and she did what would happen legally? what would be the consequences and would law enforcement force me back? Please be kind.

Her dad does not discipline her at all. She's a bully and horrible. So for example today she asked me to make her toast and I said you can do it yourself and then she freaked out and was screamed for her dad and was like "daddy James just hit me and is being mean" and started fake crying it was bad. Then my annoying step father yelled at me. Don't say just move out I'm working a lot of hours trying to get enough money for an apartment but until then what should I do?

I've met both poor and rich kids - both seem to have parents that spend less time with them. There's a larger number of mental health issues and drug abuse in both classes. Rich children can afford drugs that lead to illnesses. The poor can just steal drugs and alcohol BECAUSE their parents are often not around. They often have too much freedom to do whatever they want, even though they suffer from deprivation. I know there can be exceptions as it's better to have a unfortunate family than an abusive middle class one, or it's better to have a loving billionaire parent than a poor family that doesn't care. But in general, is the middle class more kid-friendly for a childhood than being on extreme ends?

Today my dad and I got into a fight and he went into an angry rage and dragged me by my neck and shoulder around my room and when I tried to break free of his grasp he threw me to the ground and shook me side to side. He was screaming in my face and I was screaming and crying for help. He was pushing down on me and my moth was already bleeding because he jumped in front of me when I tried to leave my room and my braces cut my lips. My mom ran up the stairs and stopped the situation from escalating which in the past it has. I am 5 ft and 100 pounds I am 15. My dad is 5 10. This is not the first time like this happened to me. It has been happening to me since I can remember. The last time it happened about a few months ago in another fight he hit me in the face before my mom could stop him. It has only been in this past year that I try and defend myself and get away. The time I realized that what he was doing was wrong was a few years ago when he kicked my head while I was on the floor. I don't know what to do he is my dad and I love him but he way say that what he does is my fault and that he is parenting

Hi all, I'm really worried about my mum. I'm 20 and grown up now and don't live with her anymore, she's seriously overworking herself she's got a full time job and she has become a full time carer to her husbands mother (my stepfathers mum) she's 94 with dementia, my mum is cleaning up her diarrhea and vomit everyday, my mum lives with her because she's just sold her house and looking to buy a new one but she is temporarily looking after my granny. My mum has the flu at the moment and she's really overworking herself still and losing a ton of weight. She cared for me when I was very mentally unwell and spent 7 months in a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt. She's such an amazing woman and I want to show her how much I love her. I want to show her how much I appreciate her and put together a pick me up box full of items she can use to cheer herself up with. Thanks for any suggestions

My mother and step dad said when people ask during a job interview "if you ever had any other names say it." I tell them my original name, then my new name and reason why I changed it(I just don't like my first name). This will be a red flag to them and people won't hire me. I am going from Ryan to Jose, but will my life really turn worse for just simply changing my name?

I'm a 20 year old girl and I'm in college. I have always been dedicated to school but right now that is not enough. I've been in a relationship for 6 months and my mom says that she HATES my boyfriend. She has never met him. She says he is wrong for me because he is black and has a child, and talks about how corrupt blended families are. She used to threaten to cut me off financially completely for me to dump him. She decided to let me date him just a month ago. Yet not really because she restricts me from seeing him (I've seen him twice since then). She tells me I love him more than my family and if I ever got pregnant by him she'd put a gun to her head. (I'm on depo btw beside the point). She also tracks me constantly and invades my privacy. Last night I asked her if I can go volunteer with him Monday morning at FMSC. Then she said ABSOLUTELY NOT and how dare I ruin her night and now she won't be able to sleep. I don't know what to do. I'm a full time student and I live at home and sometimes I really contemplate if her manipulation is worth dealing with for my paid education. Whenever I try to talk to her she immediately shuts me down the ignores me and acts like I'm invisible.

I am scared of this uncle, my Mom's brother, now. Since he will be divorced I am scared we will have to see him more. In the past he was at his in-laws on holidays most the time. He has a temper and bullies.

I do have plenty of flaws but this "biggest weakness* of mine I am proud of. My Dad is a good guy and as an adult I can have a relationship with whoever I want. As a kid my Mom held me back from him. So she has younger kids from her 2nd marriage and they were asking what each of her kids best and worst quality is. She said my worst was that I am good to my Dad despite him leaving her. I think that is a strength so how do I point this out to her? She is blind by her hate so makes everything she does about her hatred for her ex-husband even though they divorced 19 years ago and she's happily remarried. In her defense her mother was the same way and she never knew her Dad as a result. My sister does not speak to our Dad which pleases our mother. My other siblings are still kids and half-siblings.

It is like I am the parent and he is the child.

I used to be 18. My year long gf had to leave to college. We didn't break up until she was 3 months deep into college then she broke up with me. Out of nowhere a year later she tried to get back into my life. We went on a date after a year break up. On this date i asked her if she dated anyone? she said "nothing serious". She claimed to be a virgin since day one so i was curious to ask how far she got in the dates?. She then wouldn't answer it and kept quite/hush mode. She then began to speed walk to get away from me/ignore my question. After this day she broke up with me completely. Years later today after this breakup fight we just started talking all over again. Right away off the bat she said "you just want to bang me be honest but your not so don't bother". Could she still be a virgin today? we are 21 today. I mean why so protective over the kitty? could a lot of guys used her already? it doesn't make any sense.

Most of her friendships is with people who seem to use her to vent or always have issues they need help with and she just keeps trying to give solutions. My mom doesnt really seem to go to others for venting. It's always about her friends lives and their problems. She doesnt just hang out or talk to them to enjoy each others time and laugh or whatever friends do to relax.
