I feel so left out and unlucky because everywhere I look, everyone has cool parents that are open minded and easy to talk to. I feel like I'm the only one with a conservative parent who thinks weed and going out without a bra on are bad like if we're in 1946.

So my mom went on a trip for the weekend and her car is left home. I do go to a driving school but the lessons in my package are almost finished and I want some extra practice. My dad is the type to get angry and scream a lot so I'm pretty hesitant in asking him. He tends to have an attitude for no reason. Also, my mom was saying that when he was teaching her how to drive he was screaming and belittling her. What should I do? I want extra practice but at the same time dont want to be screamed at. When my mom gets back from her trip she will be busy with work and using her car everyday and my dads car is too big.

I normally never go anywhere because I always stay in the house and the reason why is because people are rude and so mean I always stay in the house because I just don't like dealing with people so my sister and my cousin ask me to come out the house for a little while to go to the mall I used to love going to the mall when I was a little girl I finally got out the house my sister wanted to go to Victoria's Secret to look at some clothes perfume I went with them some young girl kept pointing her camera at me and she was just laughing with her friends and I heard her telling her friends look at this ugly woman she looks like a man then I saw other people had the cameras out and some young guy said that ***** is really ugly I just wanted to go home I was so upset and so angry and so depressed I told my sister I'm ready to go home and my sister told me who cares what people say but I care because that really do hurt some guy said record her and put her picture on Instagram and Facebook I just ran into the bathroom and I started crying I feel so depressed and so angry that's probably why I don't work anymore because I used to go through this when I was working back in 2009 I don't work anymore I get Social Security people just don't understand when you have depression they just don't understand how that feels

My aunt lives in the very high class area of Paris, while I come from a sort of poor family. I sometimes visit paris, and I feel like she doesn't want to see me because of how low class I am compared to her ? Is this common ? It makes me sad thinking about it

You both just don't get tired of talking to each other

I should probably see a therapist for this or something, but the way my mother is, she hates any and all things that my border on dramatic. she despises them. some asking to see one won t sit well with her and she ll say I ve had too much free time to the point that now I m making stuff up. I d say she doesn t even believe in mental illnesses (emotion-based ones). she probably still has doubts I m bipolar even after we got the confirmation from a ******* doctor. thing is, my mother is a very strict person. I was raised to think of my family before myself, and what would benefit them more than what would benefit me. I m on the way to a career she believes will set another good example for my siblings and whenever I try to get her to ease up or whenever I try to tell her what I want to do for me, she instantly starts pointing out every ******* con about it and how her opinion is much better. and above all of that? when I don t listen to her, she starts comparing me to my younger sister. my-soon-to-be 12-year-old sister. how she s achieving more at her age than I ever did and just **** that really ******* makes me hate myself. she even goes as far as looks sometimes. I don t know where I m headed with this, but I just really want to find a way to love myself for who I am and not feel like **** because I m not what my mother wants me to be.

I'm extremely frusturated because my parents won't take me to visit any colleges (I'm a junior). They keep saying that they cannot keep babysitting me anymore and I do not get what I did wrong

So I don't want to sound like a brat. But it's my 18th I live with my dad and brother sister. My mom and Nan gave me card with a bit of money in which I'm very grateful for even a card or my brother and sister. My dad has not even gave me card. Which I'm annoyied about I spent so much on his birthday on designer clothes. My sisters 16th and my brothers 20th they all got cards and money. What makes me so different? He says we are going to go to the cinema which I'm excited about until the. It's only what he wants to watch. I mean I would of just been grateful for a card but nothing just s happy birthday in the morning.

My sister is 21 and after she left school (she dropped out of college after being unable to transfer to a different school after being berated by our father but that's a different story) and she's been living at home ever since. Even when she was in HS she didn't have that many friends, but she still went out maybe once a week or once every two weeks to catch a movie, get dinner etc hang out with her friend/s. And in college she did the same, but now that she's back home she 1) hasn't seen any of her friends for practically 2 years (she barely had any to begin with) 2) never goes out to do anything unless if it's with me or our mom to eat dinner but she onlygoes out to do fun stuff with me (we're sisters btw) or mom. She makes 'jokes' about how not having friends is better because no one will disappoint her or forget her or leave her out of things, whenever I mention something with my friends. She never does anything fun really and never leaves the house unless if it's for her super part time job, dr/ vet visits or groceries. Besides that, she doesn't go outside. She wears the same clothes day in day out and never wears makeup (I say this because before she was super into fashion and dressing up just for the fun of it) and now she doesn't. Is she depressed or just being a drag? She acts fine and still does her hobbies (at home) but I've just noticed a change in those things the past 2 years

The only people that know are my immediate family and close friends. He's not really in the picture and people like to ask who his dad is like it's important.

Okay I've been living with my grandparents for 8 months it will be a year in September, anyways in the beginning everything seemed great I was or so I thought I was happy, but it all changed once I got to know my grandma a lot better not so much my papa but my grandma. In her eyes she seems to think I don't know anything, like how to cook clean or anything at all, and no matter how hard I try to prove to her she brings me down even further making me feel useless. The reason why am saying this is because not too long ago I told her that I love to bake and I've always baked, and she allowed me to bake brownies. I was just minding myself when she came and told me stuff like, "oh that's not how do that, you do it like this," or she said, " I thought you knew hoiw to bake," the entire time she was basically standing over me watching every little thing I did It got me so stressed out I just gave up and had nothing to do with it anymore and I let her be. I know I might sound like I'm complaining but it gets me so stressed out. Please any suggestions, thank you

My brother in law, husband, and I all live in the same house. There are two stories, and two bathrooms. We live in the basement and use the bathroom downstairs (shower, sink, toilet). I like it downstairs better than upstairs, except for the fact that my husband gets woke up nearly every night because the b.i.l. is constantly thumping about upstairs. We have tried to get him to switch stories with us. He wants the garage, I want the peace and quiet, problem solved! BUT. He refuses to use the bathroom downstairs. At all. So that means, if my husband and I moved into the upstairs of the house, the sound of him peeing in the toilet would wake us up all through the night (essentially, just replacing the footsteps). So, I'm thinking I offer to take a chunk out of his portion of the rent each month in exchange for him living downstairs and using that bathroom. But then again. That's money out of my pocket. Why should I have to pay someone to not wake me up at night? I'm tempted to move up there, install locks on the bathroom and master bedroom doors, and force him to use the bathroom downstairs. Is that too harsh? Thoughts, comments, advice?

So my wife has decided to stop working completely. I make enough to support us both but one of the reasons I really fell in love with her was her dedication to her work and ambition. I told her how much my promotion makes and she decided that she didn't need to work anymore. I love her so I supported this. Anyway she's gotten bored lounging around the house so she decided to try "touring" So she has a camera and a new car and has been driving to different states around the U.S. and she's gone for at least 6 days a week. We share the same bank account and I noticed she's been spending a lot of money "touring". She has been nice to show me pictures and would speak about everything about the cities. This is affecting our marriage in terms of of never spending time together. She calls this working and tonight she said she needs to "tour" outside the U.S. and adventure around the the U.K. to "discover" new things. So she will be gone for 3 months max. What do I do? I tried telling her about this and the practicillity of it but she seems out of touch with reality and she "must" do this to create memories

My dad molested me at 15 years old. I told my mom and she kicked him out. When I was a child he would behave with me like a normal dad, buying me gum balls, talking to me, giving me cute nicknames. What the f*ck happened?

i am shaking as i am typing this and my heart is racing because i just had a huge argument with my dad and he started yelling and calling my names and saying that i am full of ****. basically i am 21 i lived in the us for 7 years then moved to syria then moved back to the us when i was 14, now here is the conflict i dont believe in god and my dad is a religious muslim. i stopped beliving in god when i first came back to the us and saw how people with different religions thought they were the "true" religion, let it be a jew a muslim a chrisitian ect. then i started learning about evolution on my own and realized that religion was man made crap to control people. now i am a bio major going to be a senior this fall, anything any man with a decent iq will come to the realization that religion is man made once pride is set aside. now the problem is that i kept it all secret until today where i snapped during dinner with my family, i couldnt keep faking it because my dad something that pissed me off, he was talking about the war in syria and how its all to kill all the muslims, i told him what did innocent children do to get caught in religious conflict ? children in syria were bombed, butchered alive, raped ect ect, he said whatever happens to them is in gods will bluh bluh and they will go to heaven and have a good life, i told him that i dont believe in god and that there is no heaven or an afterlife, he completely snapped and started yelling at me saying how me disbelieving in god is a sign that i am stupid and i am full of **** and he started yelling and hitting the table i told him prove to me that after you die its no different than before you were born, he started yelling and saying that how do you believe in waves when you cant see them and his main argument was if you cant see god then there is no proof that god doesnt exist, then i kept cornering him with questions eventually he almost hit be but stopped himself and said that allah one day will cause harm to me and i will get into an accident where i am crippled becuase me questioning allah's existence is a great sin. idk what to do since i cant move out because i am not financially stable yet and its an extremely toxic environment here at home and i am completely fed up with this i understand where the answers are coming from but its hard for me to swallow my pride when someone says that murdered children will have a place in heaven and its fine for them to die because its god's plan, and its also hard for me to swallow my pride and accept being called an idiot because i dont believe in god

I am 19. If I get knocked up now, my child will be 18 when he leaves for college and I will only be 37. I don't want to parent until I'm like 45 like other moms, because life is short.

He was a true lyrical genius but he decided to throw that all away and become a doctor. That idiot.
