I am 19 years old and I was adopted. My parents that adopted me divorced when I was 4. My mom had custody of me and I would go and visit my dad. But I lost contact with him for a long time. Anyways my mom has always been controlling of everything thing I do but I never argued back. But now I'm in college and it seems like our relationship has gotten worse. She always yells at me about things that I don't feel I should feel bad about. Like how I go to Mass instead of our church because I like Mass and it's on campus. Or how I don't come home often, or call. I've always been a good kid, never in trouble. My mom has three children by my step dad and I'm the oldest. I have always been helpful, always have the house clean (even now when I come home). I'm in the honors society and I get really good grades. But nothing ever makes them happy. I'm also bisexual and they don't know because I'm afraid she will disown me. Anyways we got into a huge argument on the phone the other night and I've finally decided enough was enough. Me and my dad have been in contact with each other ever since I've been in college and my mom hates it. But anyways he said he has a room for me and that I can come move in with him whenever I want to. He said he can come get me. I really want to, but what I'm worried about is that my mom is going to finances against me which she always does. She says that since she is paying my bills and buying my clothes and providing for me I am not to disrespect her.

All my life my mom has let others use her in the name of being a Christian. Her credit is ruined, she stayed married for 30 years to a man with a prison life sentence. She said because she is faithful and he is innocent. She lied about him being my biological dad. Supposedly she conceived me via date rape. She is homeless and always puts other people first but growing up she physically and emotionally abused me out of frustration and maybe because who my father is. I supposed did not abort me because of her " good" heart. Now she calls me with her problems that stem from her letting others continually take advantage of her people pleasing ways. She has 20 years of experience working with children but will not look for another job that will pay her more and give her more hours. She is being mistreated at work because well she shows up everyday but us late from helping others and using public transportation. Also, she has not acquired a more advanced degree or took the time to learn computer skills. When I point out wht she is doing wrong she tells me that God will make a way. I already have anxiety and depression from years of abuse and now I am in distress from feeling I will end up like her. I am more educated and do not have kids but I am unemployed right now.

Putting a lot of cannabis oil in are chicken soup but I'm only doing this because i have very up tight people in my family they just need to get lossend up. But is this a good idea will they thinks it me who's done it? It's just I've ben seeing videos of people doing this and it's funny asf I have about 6 grams of the oil I'm planning on using about 4 grams but I just wanna know is this a good idea lol

I am grounded from seeing my Mom;s brother or his family cause they dont like him so I dont see why I should have to see my sister who I dont like.

So my dad is currently having issues with his mom and brother .i just found out that my dad's mom has been lying the entire time..should i tell me or keep it for me to avoid conflicts and worsen the situation?

Lately I've been going to a therapist for some mental issues I've been having. I think it's great, but I really believe something like platonic Cuddling will help. I'm really only comfortable with asking my Uncle or Aunt about it, and I have some questions. How would I go about asking? What if one of them said no? What would we do if one of them said yes? How would we go about our Cuddling session? How long would it last etc.? THIS IS NOT A SEXUAL DESIRE this is purely to not only help myself, but to maybe improve a relationship with a family member. I'm a 16 year old boy if it matters. Thanks guys.

My daughter is bullied and excluded at school. I already met this boy and he treats her as if she's his age! I'm afraid that he's taking advantage of her vulnerability. She's very accepting of others and naturally, people want to find social connections that they're not receiving. Now, my daughter isn't exceptionally mature for her age. She doesn't have the mentality of a high school senior. It would be easier to step my foot down and tell her if things were going well with her peer groups, hence she'd probably not be looking elsewhere for friends and has more emotional support. If I take away the only "friend" who talks to her, I don't know how the situation will be. But as a parent, I want to speak with her for safety reasons and because generally, a lot of 17-18 year old boys who had interest in pre-teens or freshmen in high school were preying on them (back in my day).

So recently my dad has been very successful and his doing business with his brother who is actually really jealous of him..recently my dad's brother has been lying and hiding things from him including mydad's mom who is lying more and is using the business card money for hotels ect...soo they my uncles aunts and cousins have recebtly gone to the hotel and invited each and every family member except my family that my mum dad and myself and my sisters..so that night when they were at the hotel my dad concidentially phoned my unce and my cousin but no one wad picing their phone and at this point we didnt know about that party which os being josted using my dad's money..after 30 min they called back but didn't mention anything about the party and simply answered we are not at home..the next day we thought they went out to the swinming pool n my dad confronted his mom telling her why mu cousin didn't bother telling him and using my dad's money..mh grandma actually said ohhh we went swimming ..but now comes the part where i went to the dentist and the dentist actually knows my family and was asking me why i was not at the ******* HOTEL...damn i was shocked at this point..and now i simply don't know whether to tell my dad since it will cause a havoc and a dispute in the family and the worst case they lied to him..we actually live in the same house with my uncle please help me...my sister and i only know that theu were actually at th hotel and my family have been lying since then..

for example Daughter:. "dad i need $300 dollars" Father: NO daugther: "but daddy" Father: ok.

Im fiftennen, boy. My dad, who is a veteran and still works in that line of work, often yells at me and calls me an idiot, retarded, lazy because I cant out of bed at 8am/9am. And I know there are a lot of things I do wrong, but he yells and yells for every little thing, he is frustrated very easily. Just this morning he yelled at me for not closing the lid of the shampoo, when I explained to him that I didnt use that shampoo in a long time, he called me out for lying, he had previously told me two times not to leave it open and I said that I wont, and I didnt, but since he told me two times, to him its obvious that It was me. He always shifts the blame on me, and when I retaliate he yells calls me names and even sometimes hits me, or out of immediate.anger throws.something at me. But he always tells me after that hes sorry.and the only reason he yells at me is because he doesnt want me to become an idiot and completely useless.

Why is it that family can kick you out of the house with a one month notice or less, but getting a proper job to support yourself takes 2 to 4 years of post secondary education?

I am a guy and obviously have some chick friends. I hung out with some chicks the other day, and I noticed that I get hurt by the conversations they have. For example, one girl said she wanted the richest man and her friend she wanted a guy with the biggest penis. Why do I feel low about myself when I hear these things? Why does my brother find it funny and not care?

Like they're teenagers! You should expect them to do teenage things. Im sure parents used to have their fun days. I'm in college now so it doesn't matter because I moved away but still. If I have a kid and he does stuff when he's a teen I wouldn't care only if he has good grades

.........she's always being babied by her great grandmother, and she needs to live with a parent so she can get used to them. This little girl believes her great grandmother is her actual mother. And i love children, the little girl likes me too. It's kind of intimidating the idea of being alone, having bills and child responsibilities but i am so in love with my bf and his daughter i love the idea of living with them. we both work. Can i get some young parents advice? What would you do? Or what have you guys done? My parents imigrated here when my mom was 19 and my dad was 29. They had nothing! And thy raised 3 children. I believe i can do that with just one and two working adults. Thank you guys for reading part 1&2.

Ok he's 8 i'm 14 (both boys) and were connected through family, closest thing would be step brothers, but we aren't. so we've known eachother for YEARS and we've sort of grown to "love" each other like family, especially him. so the other day, we were just hanging out, laying on my bed, and he came to me and kissed me. i was kind of shocked and i just smiled, and he kissed me again (they were just pecks) but i stopped him and said "why'd you do that?" he told me it's because he loves me. i told him i loved him too but he can't do that. the more i've been thinking about it, i don't think it's that bad really. we aren't related, and he only kissed me because he loved me like family, not out of attraction, and it wasn't anything "sexual" .. is this a bad thing? would it be wrong if i let him keep kissing me in the future?? thanks for reading

Today i was driving and this man in front of me slammed on his break, so i slammed on my break but i still rear ended him. He kept driving even after i honked at him to pull over. I'm 17 years old and my dad bought me a new 2018 Mercedes Benz a few months ago. I'm so scared to tell him because this car was very expensive and i feel like he's never gonna let me drive again. The dent isn't to bad but it's still noticeable so i have to tell him. how should i tell him? without getting in too much trouble. i already waited a day. so i have to tonight. thank you!

hi I am 17, a guy. now, my Uncle just invited himself INTO my parents house. even my parents didn't want him here and neither did my sister. during spring break, he asked my dad if he can park his car in our driveway and then drive back home (he lives like 3 hours away from us) and he said thats fine. he was on a trip with his buddies and now he is probably on his way home now.he said "oh I would be too tired to drive right back home after a trip" first of all, his flight will be like 20hrs or something and he can SLEEP in the airplane instead of inviting HIMSELF INTO my parents house. my dad told me he said "I can sleep in the car" and I think my dad felt guilty about that. he has a really well paying job and he should just go to a hotel. we don't have room in our house for him anyway. he is married to my dads sister. our house is a 3 bedroom ranch style house. is this rude my uncle inviting himself into my parents house? we all had a talk about it (my mom, dad, and sister) and we disagreed to letting him stay the night but he just invites himself in.
