My parents were yelling at me for not respecting them or what every parent has an argument for like Attitude and things like that. I was totally against what they were saying and was trying to win the debate (or them yelling at me, which now looking back I would of never won) and all I've a sudden I just started to cry, I wasn't frustrated or sad or scared or even anxious, but it was so hard to hold back my tears, and I couldn't make sense of it. While they were yelling at me I was trying to figure out why the hell I was crying and how to stop it. I wasn't feeling guilty or anything like that either, opinions?

Her peers can tell she is different - plays with younger primary kids, special classroom, and does not appear concerned about things that young teens typically are (e.g her identity). There's been incidents of a few girls following her around. They might just taunt her, but one incident of actually kicking my daughter. They are getting male friends to scare her by threatening sexual things. I spoke to the school admin. They said they'll talk to the kids who are doing it. But we haven't received a response yet.

I don't want him to have parental rights because he's a scumbag @ hole. But I do want to put him on child support because he does want to be there for the baby. He is terrible with money. He thinks that if he gives me money I'm going to spend the money on things I don't need (yet he's over there spending his money on beer, going out with his stupid ash cousin and his sisters husband and then is gonna put down $500 for a car when he only gets like $650 a paycheck. I told him to save half of this upcoming paycheck, then when he gets his next paycheck to get the car but noooo. But whatever, idc, it's not my money). I don't want him to have any rights because he's honestly a terrible person. He has no respect for my family or his family. Nothing is EVER his fault. He always plays the victim. I'm not with him anymore, but when I would try to break up with him he'd always beg me to stay. Then when I'd give in and stay, he'd be such a D...! He never changed when he said he would. He hasn't changed one bit. He's still an entitled ashhole. I don't want my baby to be picking up those nasty habits of his. Am I a "b"?? I feel like I am but honestly I don't care. I don't want my baby to grow up like his loser father, but at the same time I don't want to keep his father away from him.

In a nutshell, I turn 18 in 3 months and want to live with my boyfriend because his family treats me better and makes me feel at home. They support me through everything I do and care about me, they listen to me and also house me. I moved out with my mom recently and things have been so hectic, she's very verbally abusive, manipulating, manic, has temper tantrums and lashes out on me. But then she expects me to pay bills and take action of adult decisions but treats me like a child still. She also threatens to call the police on my boyfriend and says that his family uses me, but she does that because she's jealous of how comfortable I am with them rather than her. She made me move on the other side of town with her and it's so hard to access things, especially since she won't let me drive the car or even bother making time to help me learn. I have a job and have a substantial amount of money saved, I'm just scared of her threatening the family I'm moving into and her going belligerent. I have a lot of anxiety and fear because I had mild depression before I met my boyfriend. I don't know how to break the news to her that I'll be leaving in three months or how to handle her if she reacts bad. I just want to live away from her so she can stop treating me the way she does. Every time I confront her she drives off and goes to my dads house, which is right across from my boyfriends. And my dad has also cheated on my mom. I just don't have anywhere to go. I feel like I'm cornered

My mother in law is visiting from new Zealand but it's anything but fun for me. She never fails to find ways to insult me. She talks about how my kids sound uneducated because of their accents and how I am a bad wife and mom because I have a career. Tonight she got drunk and she started in on me again. I got up and put on my shoes, got my keys, and went to a hotel. My husband is now been blowing up my phone for 2 hours. His last text was "stop being childish, come home" but I don't think I will. He can handle her, the kids getting to school, the house cleaning, then he can go to work. But I cant help but feel in my attempt to take a stand i am looking a bit childish?? By the way the accent in question is a southern accent, but I live in Dallas so my accent is really very subtle. Since their father is from New Zealand my kids accent is extremely subtle.

My Grandma's been in the ICU for almost a month now, we're running out of money so my family decided to let her lose her breath in our house in a few days. She's suffered from a Ruptured Brain Aneurysm. She's still unconscious now though she's already undergone one operation, where the fluids in her brain were drained. We should have brought her into another big hospital out of town for a brain coiling procedure but she's acquired a fever which caused her to stay longer in the ICU. She's moving, though! And seldom, my aunts see her open her eyes, move her body, etc. But the long stay there drained all our finances.Though many people helped, since my Grandma has helped way too many people during her time, but it's just we ran out and the decision was so hard. Within a few days, we're getting her home, and I don't know. My heart is really broken. I was a Grandma's boy when I was young. She has done very much to me, took me to school and even fetch me after, she gave me my first guitar and which now I became an all-around musician. But for real, I'm not very sure how to deal with myself by that time I'm gonna lose my precious grandma. She's very strong, she still do household chores a lot and goes to the grocery alone..until that time the aneurysm suddenly attacked, and she was blacked out. I don't know how to move on, how to accept that this is going to happen anytime now. Please help!

I was diagnosed with dysmenorrhea and the possibility of endometreosis recently. My OB/GYN prescribed sprintec to (hopefully) minimize my painful cramps. I just took my first birth control pill ever about 30 minutes ago. I feel very bloated and somewhat nauseous. With a minor stomach ache. What is your experience with BC, or sprintec? How did it make you feel? Did you like how it worked?

My brother can be so filthy when it comes to flushing the toilet and the bathtub. He would leave the toiler seat up and leave piss in the toilet, and leave rings around the tub. When I would complain to my mother, she would have an attitude and get angry with me. I remember her refusing to share a bathroom with me years ago because I wanted to avoid bathing in filth. But if I were to ever do anything filthy (like having the decency to wrap up a pad with tissue and trashing it in the trash can WHERE IT BELONGS when I'm done using it), it would be a problem and she would complain, but ignore my brother's filthy habits. I hate that double standard that men can be dirty, but women can't (I guess it's mostly in African culture because I do see that women can be just as filthy, so don't flame me). On the flip side, there is a bathroom in the basement I can use. I have decided to clean it today so I can use it on the says I go to work, and my brother thinks that just because I cleaned it, I'm giving him an invite to shower there as well when really he doesn't know I cleaned it to get away from sharing with him lo. Then again, my mother does criticize my brother only if him being dirty inconveniences her. Like leaving plates in the car and all over the place. So it's not like he gets a complete pass on being filthy.

My daughter has Asperger's - she acts younger (socially) and older (knowledge) at the same time. She has no problem with 12 year olds or 21 year olds. With other young teens, my daughter can't relate to them. She just can't socialize with them well. It's a natural thing for her to shift towards pre-teens and college age girls. She can grasp the concept of 11 year olds who want to figure out their place and people in their early 20's wanting to explore. But due to the developmental disability, she has trouble with teens her age.

I'm in week three of summer break. I've asked twice if I could hang out with someone I've been friends with for five years. They know her well and really like her. The first time I asked they said no, and didnt have much of a reason. So I just kind of dropped it and moved on. The second time I asked they yelled at me for asking 'so much' i hadnt asked the same week even. Well my grandma invited me to go to my cousins softball game tonight literally 2 minutes away and my dad said no. Even my mom asked why not and my dad said because he didnt want me to. So I just came back to my room. It sucks. I have depression and I try to go out every now and then because I think it keeps me happy. But I haven't been able to go out for three weeks. The farthest I've been from my house is my backyard. It genuinely just makes me sad and when they say no, I cant protest so i just dont say anything and go to my room. They tell me I need to be more active and I clean the house atleast 4 times a week and take care of an 8 month old that my mom took in for kinship care.. I'm a 17 year old girl. Me taking care of the baby made my grades suffer badly. Now it's just a lot of work. I feel like a stay at home mom. I know I'm not going to be able to have freedom in the future so I'm angry, but I also feel like I owe it to my mom to take care of this baby since she provides everything for me.. what do I do? I'm so angry and sad..

No one ever wants to help because he makes it as hard as he can for the person trying to help him. He constantly criticizes the way you are doing something. And acts like there is something wrong with you for not knowing how to do what ever it is he's doing. No one where he works will help him. I hate working with him and avoid it as much as possible. I usually just take the criticism and try my best but today I left. He started blaming me for problems he was having with his car so I just left. And I know he's going to be pissed about that. What should I do?

I have a narcissistic mother. I am 20 and i realized i had that kind of mother last year but im not get abused by her that much anymore like before. Is it good to defend my scapegoat sister (15years old)? Or would that make it worse for me as i am keeping my distance

They keep me in the dark and refuse to discuss it when I bring it up. They have issues with my Mom's side of the family that do not involve me.

I recently heard about that 30 year old guy who's been evicted from his parents home and for some reason that story is giving me a lot of anxiety despite the fact I'm much younger than that. Still, I'm a young adult going to college. I also help out a lot at home and my mom is actually more so of my best friend now than she is my parent. My mom seems to love to have me around. So I don't know why I'm feeling such anxiety. I just am. I'm not lazy, I work really hard, I have a 4.0 gpa going. I've also recently filled out an application for a child care position to make some money as I go to school and to also get more experience in the field I'm majoring in which is Early Childhood Education. I'm motivated to make something of myself I just want to do it while living with my parents because I'm a girl and I'm truthfully petrified of living on my own because you hear stories of young women like me getting raped and all kinds of scary things happening to them so I just feel safer living with my parents. I'm so scared I can't stop panicking all because of that stupid story about that 30 year old.

All the little kids come cause they have no choice and all the adults come. Little kids have become teens and they do not come anymore. How would I attract them to come (don't say beer or drugs)
