I recently had an unexpected 3 day hospital stay. I did not expect to have any problems with the medical bills as I have insurance from where I work. I did not know the doctors were not part of my insurance plan. I was out of pocket over a thousand dollars. They turned their bills over to a collection agency which called me several times a day. I also got letters almost every day demanding payment or they would get a court judgement. It was a terrible. I was a nervous wreck. Suddenly the phone calls and letters stopped. I did not understand why. It was sure a relief. I told my parents what had happened and they told me they knew why I was not getting any more bills. They had told my ex husband about my problems and he had paid the bills. I was really surprised. I called my ex husband Bob, and asked him why he had paid my doctor's bills. He told me that he knew about the nightmare I was having with bill collectors. They call all hours and threatened to tell your neighbors and boss at work and he did not want me to have to endure that. He said we are friends and "I don't let friends suffer when I can prevent it". At that moment, it was like a MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN. Bob is really a great guy and he still has feelings for me. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. If he will marry me again, I will be the best wife he could ever dream of. Please give me some suggestions on how I should tell him what I am feeling.

I usually stand by our front door and my husband gives me a kiss as he leaves for work. This morning my mom was standing there with me as my husband was going to work. He gave me a kiss and mom said laughingly "My turn next" so my husband gave her a kiss on the cheek also. I was slightly embarrassed, Mom was surprised and though it was the funniest thing ever. Should I be mad at Mom, my husband, both of them or nobody? Wives, please give me your opinion.

I haven't been to my boyfriend's house in a long time, and last night, I was shocked to see that his place was trashed -- there were stacks of trash, food cartons, boxes, dishes, etc. accumulating in the living room and kitchen. He lives with his dad, so I have a feeling it's not just his behavior and I don't entirely blame him for the state the house is in. When I had to use the bathroom, he didn't hesitate or seem to mind that I was about to walk into a roach-infested nightmare. When I walked in, I saw a myriad of small bugs crawling on the floor, and once I looked around and turned on the light, I noticed nearly adult roaches crawling on the shower walls. At that point, it just dawned on me, they were baby cockroaches, and I was honestly so shocked. I couldn't understand how anyone would be okay with living like this and I am not one to judge so harshly, but it really crushed me. I didn't want to say anything because I know he's aware of it. So, I ended up bringing it up today to him, and he was immensely sorry about it and explained to me that normally it's just guys that come over and they don't usually mind. . . I didn't want to give him a hard time over it, but honestly, I find it disturbing that he just, doesn't seem to care about this. Should I just straight up tell him that he should take care of it, or should I try to urge him to in a different way? I already explained to him that it made me uncomfortable, but he didn't mention anything about resolving it.

I am 19 years old, but I don't want to go on a vacation I won. Whenever I go on vacation, I get homesick and always have to have ride in a plane home. I cry whenever I get homesick, and my dad calls me a 2 year old when I cry when I am homesick, and I am 19 years old, not 2. I told my parents that I don't want to go to Florida, but my parents won't believe me and say no. I am not going to invite any boys over to sleep with until when I am married, and I am not going to have any parties when my parents are not home because I know that parties without the parents being at home is wrong. I don't drink alcohol until when I am 21, and I don't use drugs. I tried telling my parents that I am going to live at grandma's if they don't let me stay home with a family member, but my parents said no. I am 19, so I really want to stay home from vacation on Thursday. It is to Florida for a few days, and I don't like going away. How can I convince my parents to let me stay home from vacation? Can you help? Thanks.

Every time he enters my sisters room, she screams and he laughs.

She talks **** about my boyfriend and she claims he isolates me from my family. She also has lied to me so much growing up. She lied about having cancer, she lied about being in a car accident, she got a credit card in my papas name and maxed it out to 1.5k. She stole 150 from me in high school. They got divorced in 1998 and she abandoned me growing up but she recently moved back in to my dad's house. He wants her gone and I do not live there. How should my family kick her out?

So my mom has often been "against" me and my siblings having or wanting friends. Most of my older siblings therefore hung out with people in secret, and for me (rule follower), I just kind of waited till I was old enough to actually hang out with friends (cause I had friends in sports and work, but I didn t often hangout with anyone outside of that, cause my mom didn t really allow it unless they came over to our house.) My sister, Mia, is currently the oldest at home, 16, with 4 younger siblings. (*note: they are Homeschooled) They just moved and she has no friends, but really wants some, or at least one, who she can spend time with/talk to, or hang out with. When she talks to my mom about it, my mom gets irritated and says stuff like "spend time with your siblings" or "why do you want to meet other people? You have your family." Sometimes she ll even be accusing, making it seem like Mia doesn t like being with her family so she wants other friends. I think it s really important for Mia to have some friends, or even at least one, especially cause she s a teenager and needs to be able to relate to people/talk to others maybe about stuff. I don t know what to do, because whenever ANY of us try to talk to my mom about it, she gets defensive and accusing or immediately dismisses it. What can I do to help my sister?

Ok so I've received this message from my friend mum as she said she didn't know how to tall her over the phone (A) how should I tall her or should I just read out message and (B) do you think what she's said is far or not? In terms of haven't seen her for so long it's been about 10 years but they still send Xmas presents ect im a bit unsure what to do regarding the funeral when it takes place and we no more. as my family think (name) comming would upset my nan even more as they were close to her and being havnt seen her so long they dont no how nan will cope especially on burying gramps. So theyve suggested maybe for her to go down after the funeral and seeing nan on a better day even staying at hers and even send her a letter or message or call nan and arrange to go down afterwards. I dont no what to do say really but i thought i would see what you think. Its just the family think nan would be more upset as them being so close before too.and for (name) to go down afterwards. I didnt want to tell (name) as i didnt want her to think she was unwanted or for her to get upset . Social services took her out of her mums care when she was about 3 and she lived with them for about 6 months before her dad got custody of her literally overnight at witch point she only saw them when she had contact with her mum till she was about 10 when they moved and she hasn't seen them face to face since

I'm a fck up in life and that fact will never change. I'm tired of life and just wish to painlessly end it. I'm not smart and probably bodetline retarded, I work a crappy job I hate with long hours I do t get home til 12am. I'm in bad health also and I'm unattractive and with my socially awkward personality I'll never have a good a deal I'm 23. I'm a mistake and a loser and it's fine because we can't all win. I was thinking to my parents; I know you both love me but I'm just a huge dissapointment. I hate the man I've become and the life that I lead and my time is up. I love you dad. You always said I most like you. Both passive and nice. Don't be upset that I'm gone you still have 3 kids. And mom I love you so much. Even to this day you call me your baby even though I'm a grown man. I know you might miss me but I' L be in a better place looking down on you. To my siblings; you three were great older siblings. I really wanted to grow old with you all! But I just can't live anymore and I know I'll never get better because I've always been horrible at everything I do. Its a shame that I'm leaving you all. Especially to my only brother, that I know loved, helped me and wanted us be Bros for life. You always said that we have to be there for each other and look after our older sisters when were older. But Im not strong like you. You three still have each and have to go on. love u all. So how does it sound? Also how to kill myself painlessly? Ive tried pills but didn't work.

So my father's sister is getting a divorcing her husband. I'm not really worried or thinking about what this means for my relationship with my uncle, but I am worried about my cousins. They live a few states away and are quite a few years younger than me and I want to be able to support them through this but I just don't know how. All of the kids of divorced couples I know have grown up that way, so I've never had someone remotely close to me go through what my cousins are going through right now. How do I be the great and supportive older cousin I've always been while they go through this? I don't have much contact with them because they're too young for the internet, so most of our relationship is centered around seeing each other in person a handful of times a year, and I'll probably see them less now with the divorce. I don't know..

My mom's first cousin my second cousin she's 20 years old and has has a baby that is about to be 1. I live with my grandma my mom tells me and my grandma all this stuff about how she threatens my mom she says tells my mom on Facebook text or whatever my mom better watch her back. And I guess my mom says that she smokes weed and does drugs like coke and stuff with her siblings. My cousins mom is a drug addict about 60 years old Does crack or meth one or the other. So she lets her kids do drugs and stuff. And they all got kids and do drugs in front of them. And she lives with us . And my grandma always watches her baby. She always comes home high and my grandpa's car always smells like weed. She works but goes out everynight literally.my grandma say she only deals with her because of the baby. But u already know the baby is gonna grow up to be like her. My uncle doesn't even talk to my grandma no more because of her. Not allowed to see my cousins my grandma's grandkids

Im a middle child . I have one elder sister ( 18 ) and one younger sister (12 ). Since i was a child my father liked my older sister more while my mother liked my younger sister more. Im not angry about that as long as they don't hate me. But these days i just realised that they don't think that my oppinion matters. For example, when we go out to eat and they asked us ( me and my sisters ) what to eat they will choose my sister's not mine and i will just go with it but one day i said that i don't really like that and my parents said that im being a brat. And when my sisters said they don't want to eat something they will immediately change it ?? Also my older sister is really smart and she always get praised by my parents while i actually get good grades too but never get praised ? My younger sister has bad grades and my parents still praise her because she is funny and bright or whatever. My older sister is not mean at me and kind to me but my younger sister always bullies me. I already checked it and im not adopted hahahaha I just want to feel my parents love too sometimes.. ^-^ Is there any advice ? ? Thank you for reading ❤

I have no extracurricular or social events besides this- a job of approximately 4-6 hours starting in September. My mom will still make me do chores, and sometimes my brother gives me a hard time with staying in the shower way too long (when it needs cleaning) or refusing to sweep before I mop. Arguments can go on. Then I have schoolwork, I really don't want to fall behind next year. I have a free block to study, plus coming to school early should be an option for me. I usually fall asleep at 12pm or so and I wouldn't want to make it any later than 1am

When I was young my i loved my dad so much. When I was a teen I learned he cheated on my mom twice and that resulted in their divorce. Im 19 now and have had somewhat contact with him but every time i see him i dread it. When he visits it gives me anxiety when he confronts me about my living situation with my mom. My mom isnt a loving person, she is hard to talk to and has been that way since I was little. He believes that I ll "die" if I continue living with her and keeps suggesting i go live with him even to the point that he gets angry when I disagree. I get that it might be cause hes scared im gonna kill myself from being alone a lot, but aggressively suggesting that I go live with him, leave my friends, boyfriend, and college? If i go with him id end up even more isolated than were i am now, where he lives id had no friends, id just have him and my brother. What he doesnt see is that i am happy for the first time in my life, im more confident and feel great, but he still gets angry that im becoming my mother whixh makes me angrier at him. At this point I dont want to see him anymore because I don t feel anything about him, im not sure if thats bad.

Went into the kitchen and saw the dish rack was moldy and looked like droppings of some kind were on the bottom liner of the dish rack. Why do people live like this and my sibling claims to be ocd about germs and cleaning whenever we are out. Also behind garbage can was a nightmare with stains all over. Is there a way to tell my sibling it is unhealthy to live this way without them getting angry? A moldy dish rack is a breeding ground for germs....

Long story short, my brother lost his job a year ago from a DUI, has been in and out of sobriety, and lives with my dad. My dad is about to move in with his girlfriend and is kicking him out. The better option is for him to stay with our mom, who is also jobless but because she is retired is getting money from social security and my dad until she finds more supplemental income. ( She's been jobless a few years now. ) Problem is that he hates our mother for reasons both justified and not, but he wants to move in with me instead. I'm just able to afford to move into a new one bedroom apartment by myself and have been looking forward to the alone time, but I would feel like an *** not letting him crash on my couch. But I don't want a leech on my couch for who knows how long until he gets a job. What should I do? Edit: Also, my mom is fine with taking him. She's about to renew her apartment lease and would be fine getting a two bedroom so long as my dad continues to chip in while her/they are "between jobs. "

Ok so my grate grandfather passed away and now I'm being told by my family that they don't want me to come to the funeral as they think it will upset my grate grandmother even more than she already is (there my mom side of family) I was taken out of their care when I was about 4 to live with my father literally overnight there advice to me (there contact someone else to tall me face to face as they said there didn't know how to tall me) was don't come to funeral but go see her in a few months when things have settled Down this this far advice or should I still go (witch was what I've wanted to do)??

So today I told my mother to shut up when she was driving me to school she just didn't say anything after that so when I got home my dad told me if it happened again he would spank me. I'm like 12 and I haven't been spanked in a year, also my parents are both therapist or sychiatrists they have like a family company or something it's really not important but they believe in using either a belt or a spoon atleast in the past because hands are for love and **** like that so I'm like 12 and only4 foot 7 inches and only like 70 75 pounds (and yes I know that i'm small for a boy at 12 atleast I'm not like the fat autistic poor people) so it hurts. But is there no like statue of limitations for spanking in the us, i mean they aren't abusive but still I'm a little old for it.
