It was the alcohol that killed her. Alcohol is a drug. Everyone drinks alcohol and so everyone is an enabler to the dangers of alcohol. Alcohol is dangerous and should never be used. Alcohol killed my sister and my cousin. Alcohol is all bad.

Smoking and getting lung cancer is more of a choice then being anxious all the time and having some Bipolar. I am glad he is reaching out to this friend but he won;'t to me if it involves my anxiety. What reasons might someone like my Dad, a graduate of University of Chicago, be this ignorant?

I'm 16 and currently planning to just leave for a little while. My parents argue all the time and I'm an only child and I absolutely hate it, I feel trapped. I have a car (that I bought and pay for), a boyfriend, and a job at a local supermarket. I just hate living where I am and being near my parents and overall toxic family situation. It's not really abusive or anything, so I can't like go to a shelter, I just hate how my parents are, there is no love in our home. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice from experience? Idk where to go or what to do, but I just know I don't want to be here.

We had a small courthouse wedding in NJ on Feb 19, 2016. The invitations were only limited to my husband's mother, step-father, grandparents and 2 friends, as well as my mother and brother. My mother and brother flew in from Jamaica to attend. My husband (fiance at the time) and I occupied 1 bedroom of a 2 bedroom apartment and we had a roommate, so it was not convenient for them to stay with us. However my husbands grandparents live closeby in a small house but definitely more space than we had. His mother lives 1 hr away in a big house. I suggested to my husband that my family stay there. His answer was to let them stay in a hotel. They already spent a lot of money on their flight, why should they spend excess money on a hotel when there are family to stay with? My husband offered to pay the hotel because apparently driving 1 hr away to drop them off was a big hassle to him, so I made it a big deal until in the end, my family ended up staying at his mother's. The deal was to have them stay at the mother until the day of the wedding, then they'd stay in a motel while my husband and I went to a beach house for 2 days. When we returned from the beach house, my husband would drop them off, including me, to NY where my mother has family, and they'd spend the rest of time their until their departure. On top of that, his mother had wrote him a text saying "Are you gonna drop them off to NY? Otherwise they are going to the beach house with you."

I found an old note I wrote years ago about how she felt about me. i was very depressed at the time. Now things have changed between us. I shared it with her couple days ago to make her understand that we have made progress. She did not want me to remind her of the past. She brushed it off like she always does. I explained to her that it made me feel better to share that with her , and that she could not always expect people to forget things, or put them aside because she did. She got upset and took it as if I had been ungrateful of her. And she was a mother who did everything for her child, who in return is treating her this way. I let her know that she was human and she has made mistakes like everyone else and it was ok. she waited day later to bring up a story about a mother who gave up her eyes so her ungrateful son who pushed her away would be able to see. The son realized after his mother's death that she kept that secret. I explained that it was not the same. She went back to being upset again. I told her I would no longer tell her anything because she always take things badly. she went back to being quiet again.

His family doesn't believe I'm his kid cause they're racist to me and my mom. They suck. But if I ever come "home" from the gym he acts like I'm some prized football star like I was in high school or some **** and it's actually annoying. But one time I wore a rubber band on my wrist just cause and he starts yelling at me for doing it because it's "cheap". As a kid i had a soft voice I was little kid but he'd always be like do you have a dick or a whole (not in those words but their Spanish equivalent) because I was a "man" at 6 I had to have a raspy masculine voice. He'd also always call my mom a fat ***** (not those words but the Spanish equivalent) and he says I'm doing nothing with my life because clearly him watching 9/11 conspiracy videos & illuminati theories is saving the world. But he'll bang pots around the house to get rid of spirits & tells me he talks to dead people because the angels and aliens visit him I laugh out of nervousness but he really believes all of this. I'm a grown *** man almost 19. I don't want this anymore he's part of the reason my self esteem is non existent his family is the main part. He's also mad that I'm not swole like John Cena (I workout 5 days a week, that takes years). Also was my childhood abusive or the norm

I'm 19, in college, i do my homeworks till 3 or 4 am, i feel so tired everyday, and my mom always wakes me up at 8 to eat breakfast together, i know she loves me and maybe need companion but i can't stand this i need more sleep, but she couldn't understand me, what should i say to make her stop waking me up early? Lack of sleep makes me sensitive and today i yelled at her which makes me feel guilty as hell..

Okay so my dad had 2 kids, which are from my mom, me & my big brother. He was a absent parent, but my dad and my bro created a bond with each other once we became adults. Im 27 my brother just turned 30. I tried to create a bond with my dad but he doesn t with me. He s shut me out so much it used to hurt bad when i was a little girl but now i dont feel anything because he s like a stranger to me. But anyways here s the thing, my dad grandmother died a week ago and my bro expects me to go to the funeral today but the last time i talked to my dad was 2 years ago when he said something hurtful to me in front of his girlfriend in which his girlfriend made a joke about it. I dont know her and she s a new gf of his. I met maybe like 2 others b4.(I am trying to give a slight summary of the situation at hand.) I dont feel comfortable with going but i dont want to disappoint my big bro by not going. He literally told me at 12am this morning that he wanted me to drive him there. Idk what to do because i love my big brother very much but i dont think im in that space yet. Im not ready to walk into what i feel is the lions din. P.s i love my dad regardless but i feel like we need a one one and that wouldnt be the right time to have it. I ve offered him lunch dates but he never falls thru with any of them and it always made me feel like i wasnt good enough. Any positive advice? Or suggestions to tell my brother??

im 15 and got spsended from school becaus my friends and me were caught mooning. i didnt really want to but i didnt want to look like a pussy in front of my friends. Anyhow dads away but told me really angry on the phone taht when he gets back home from his trip hes going to spank me!!! (actually literally he said im going to warm your a$$ with my hand but i guess that means spanking). im really scared and i dont think teenages should be spanked. ive never been spanked so i dont know how it happens. I dont want to be spanked especiially not bare butt because ot sounds sooooo embarrasing, is it often bare butt? does it hurt a lot? I told my friend whose lucky his parents arent punishing him and he said i should call the police and i dont want to be spanked so i may but same time im not sure what would happen to mt dad if i do. im so nervooous

My family recently bought a camper and every year for the whole week of 4th of July, we go to our family reunion. Me and my cousin are thight like brothers and last year we stayed in a tent because we didnt have a camper and my ant wasn't there with hers well i don't think my parents are going to let my cousin stay in our camper because they don't think he will listen to my grandma and he won't want to stay in my aunts so should I give up staying in our camper and use the tent with him? I just feel like if I don't it will be wrong because he couldn't stay with me and he won't want to stay in my ants because she will already have 3 people including her self in there and she and him don't get along

When I just turned 18 in september 2016 I went to study mathematics in Switzerland in Lausanne. I stayed there for a year and a half and during the whole time I felt like my body was under a lot of stress. I didn't make any friends, I stayed alone everyday and I think I developed social anxiety. My family doesn't live in Europe so every holiday I stayed alone in a student's residence which was completely empty and I spoke to nobody for many days. There came a point where I was so anxious I could barely go to uni anymore, I couldn't concentrate on work and I ended up failing everything. I realised maths wasn't really my thing anyway. In february this year I was under so much stress that I ended in the hospital for 10 days, and they decided to send me back home to my family and get medical treatment and help. So since March 2018 I have been seeing a psychologist who I guess helps me and I've also been seeing a psychiatric for my medication. The thing is I still feel anxious. I feel completely lost with life.. I'm 19 years old and I have no friends. Also my psychologist has been away for more than a month on holiday and I've been feeling suicidal. I live in Mauritius which is quite a reclusive place and I've been isolated from the world staying at home everyday for the past weeks. I'm planning on starting university in Paris this september but I have no idea how I am going to cope especially with my social anxiety and the fact that I feel stressed all the time.

I know many people say this but trust me on this. An example would be when she always gets mad at me for staying home all day during the summer but she is the one who refuses to drive me anywhere or gets mad at me when I hang out with friends. Another thing is that she forces me to cut my hair even when I don't want to and yesterday I finally said I didn't want to and she got really mad at me and refuses to speak to me since yesterday. I just think its a stupid thing to get mad at and I feel like I have the right to have my hair whatever length I desire. She also over criticizes me to the point where I feel insure about myself. How do I deal with this? Its honestly really hard being around her at times.

Usually our cousins gather at my grandpa house but this time somehow they came to our house and I was sleeping fully naked. I woke up after a while hearing noises and there was no blanket on me I looked up the other bed there was 4 girls my cousins sitting there playing monopoly and I was all the time naked with erection while they are looking at me. I panicked felt embarrassed and stood up they looked at my thing while laughing and I ran fast took my clothes to wear it and left the house at that day and didn't come back until they left. Now I'm feeling so embarrassed and I can't face them anymore please help me what can I do in this case? They are around 15-17 and I'm 21 it's very embarrassing how can I face them again cuz the family see each others each weekend in my grandpa house like we spend alot of times please help me ??

This family member says I should only listen to music from my roots which makes no sense. I'm an adult and should be able to listen whatever music I like no matter what country it comes from. What Should I Do?

I'm being EXTREMELY serious. This is NOT a joke. I sincerely want to die right now. 22 years is more than enough years to live. I want to be dead. I want someone or something to just viciously kill me. Lately, I've been really suffering from depression. It goes on and off, but the depression frequently comes and when it comes, it's really bad. I feel absolutely worthless, meaningless and I feel like I have no purpose in life. I don't hate God, but I'm VERY Angry with Him. I feel like he favours some people and wants people to have success and then wants people to fail and God wants me to fail and be unhappy. I've been EXTREMELY jealous of Madonna. AND THIS IS NO JOKE!!!! I'm jealous of Madonna, like ALOT. She's WAY older than me, but I still desperately want to be her. I feel like if I can't be Madonna, then there is no point of living to me. If Madonna dies, then it would be a globally big deal, but if I die, no one would give 2 ******* shits. I'm just a poor, ugly stupid bigger and Madonna is a legendary beloved pop star. I'm gonna commit suicide. I can't live anymore. I've tried always contacting Suicide Hotline, but they don't help at all. They just keep telling me the same ****. They don't help with my sadness at all. I don't belong on this Earth. Can someone just please kill me!!! :'( My entire existence means nothing 😟😭😭

My daughter was killed in a car wreck, my son in law was killed by my older grandson. My other grandson died from alcoholism. My grandson whose moving in is 13. I'm not sure what to expect. I am in shock over these tragedies. My grandson is going through therapy, I've arranged for him to go to a private school,in Memphis. My grandson has an aptitude for languages, and is proficient in Russian and is planning on joining the wrestling team.

I'm run out of money because what I had left i spent it on two beers and I want more. I don't know what to do to get more alcohol because my parents don't want to give me any money. Im 17 and a male

It doesn t matter what I do, and I don t even live there anymore she s always mad. I told her me and my fiance would come over to eat Sunday if she wanted because he gets off earlier on Sunday s and we could come over and eat plus she s sick right now and I didn t want to put all the pressure of her cooking for us on her whenever she s sick like she is right now. Then she got angry at me for suggesting something and I don t really get why... It s like I was trying to be nice and make it easier on her. She s always doing these things and getting mad at me over stupid little things and I don t really get it. I ve stood up for her over friends that "did her wrong" supposedly but she s doing me wrong and I m her own daughter. If we don t talk, I don t get to see my brother or Dad. It s so annoying and keeps me stressed out and I really don t know what to do anymore. It s always depressing me and putting me down and I just don t know what to do.
