You are talking to someone you like and let's say you haven't been talking long. You have been talking on a social media website. Then you are the last person to send a message which was a question they could reply to but they end up never replying back ever again. You don't send another message you just leave it at the question they could have answered. You never text them a message again because it's their turn and they just never reply back to you even though they are on the social media all the time. You guys just never talk ever again. Doesn't that sound awful?

First off his *** moved to Tijuana. Before that he spent 4 months of our son's life in jail. He's only seen him 3 times since he got released now he's texting me over Snapchat telling me how to raise the baby. I've been feeding, clothing and paying for this baby to live. He doesn't even pay child support, what does he know?

A week ago my mum and I had an argument. My hours at work have been cut from 4 days a week to just one day, so I have been struggling the past month My sisters birthday was this week and my mum booked a table at an expensive restaurant on the night of her birthday which was Thursday, and also a night out which was Saturday (tonight) Even though I am struggling at the moment I didn't say anything apart from I wouldn't be able to come out till later on tonight as I am working and with this being my only day of work I have to work. Once I told my mum that she went mad at me, she said I was selfish for not calling work and telling them I can't come in to work, and she said that coming out after work was not good enough. what upsets me the most is that when it's my birthday my mum and sister are always on holiday. So I was trying to get my point across to my mum that all this fuss isn't made for my birthday so I don't understand the pressure for my sisters birthday (22nd birthday) . I've never once complained that they are always on holiday on my birthday, even though it can be quite lonely being on your own on your birthday. My mum hasn't spoke to me since the argument a week ago and I feel so sad I really don't want to speak to her first as I feel she is in the wrong and should see where I'm coming from and apologise to me, but as the days go on I feel like she's just never going to speak to me again I feel so depressed someone please give me some advice 😔

My father was very hard on me growing up because he knew I was the sensitive one. I was never into sports or "manly" things. I always preferred to be around women over manly men. I liked to express my feelings and emotions. My father didn't like that. He would force me to go hunting, work on cars, listen to sports radio, trying to make a "man" out of me. He wanted me to like the things he liked, and wouldn't support me in my own interests. He was not like this towards my older brother, because my brother was everything my father wanted him to be. My father was tough on me because he thought I wasn't masculine enough and he was trying to influence me. My Dad's behavior did cause me to have some resentment towards him because I felt like he did not accept me for who I was. I felt like men weren't allowed to express their feelings or emotions. Men can't be sensitive. What do you guys think about tough fathers who have sensitive sons?

Okay well it's my Birthday right and I always go out for my mom. I buy her this and that and she told me this week she doesn't have too much money. So she wants to take me to eat. But she said "no where expensive". Should I be mad? Or am i wrong for being mad? For some reason I don't feel humble for not understanding. I feel ungrateful. Should I feel this way?

This has been going on for YEARS consistently.

...have done photography professionally, and every single time m,y family needs pictures taken I offer to do the work for free they'd rather pay someone else to do it? Family as in parents/siblings.

I'm a 34 year old girl, and my parents are in their late 60's. I never got married because I was never allowed to date. I still have to abide by their rules. For example: No bedroom door. Bedtime is 11PM, even on weekends and breaks. Absolutely no snacks or drinks outside the kitchen I still need to help around with chores. If I'm going anywhere I must tell my parents and one of them will chaperone along. No short shorts, makeup, or tanktops My parents check everything. They check my room for drugs and diaries (I never do that crap), car mileage, computer and phone history, and even my drawers to look for drugs. Since I live in San Diego, I can understand this concern. I can't talk to my parents about boys or love. And the list goes on ad infinitum. Anyways, I graduated Berkeley with a major in English. I currently work as a TA for AP Lang and LIt in a private school. All the money I make goes to them, who control my spending. My older brother is 38, and he moved out and is married, and has 3 kids already. Once I talked to my parents about moving out. I just casually, yet politely, mentioned the topic when we were at Golden Corral last week, and they got mad at me. They yelled at me, and poured hot water on me. No, my parents are not Asian. We are Euro/white. My parents have Down's Syndrome, and my mom has cancer. I hope they'll die soon.

He is a horrible human being

ever since she had a baby she became very distant with me. she would say she hates me for reason, and insult me by bringing things like "she used to be pretty when she was younger" and get her husband to join in. my sister is 26 and im 16. she and her husband are the only family members that insult and hurt me. they find would find ANYTHING...literally anything to hurt me. i know my mom would join in too but now they became quite whenever my sister and brother in law hurt me with words. each insult keeps becoming worse...at every sentence my older sister would laugh like a ******* 5yr old psycho. serious answers please. i dont want unhelpful answers like "that is what sisters are for, or my sister is worse." etc i need helpful answers because she used to love me and now she hates me to the point she would use anything againist to get a harsh laugh.

Recently my Dad and step mom have become homeless. his wife has been staying with her sister where she pays to rent a room, and my Dad is staying in a Hotel paid for by an organization working to get them housing. But the organization still has not found a place, and the Hotel voucher is up in a week, so i told my Dad to come to my house, he asked if his wife can come too since she is having a difficult time with the sister who is a bitter woman.My Dad says it will only be 3 weeks, but they have lived with me before and only asked for 4 months but then it turned into 4 years. During that time I became unhappy because they would have guest over without asking and they don t necessarily keep up on the cleaning just to name a few of the issues. Now I have 2 children of my own in my 1 bedroom, so having my Dad is a stretch but I have to open up my house for him. My Question is what would you do in this situation? Do you think I should let his wife move in too? Also, My Dad is saying if his wife can't come here then he won't because it is far away from the Sister and he wants to stay close to her.

I'm 14 with 2 sisters. For lots of my life I've always thought that they were loved more. My Dad would always seem to have fun with them while he would yell at me and make bad faces at me. Today I was playing Fortnite and my Dad got mad at me for playing too long. He kept screaming at me. I didn't understand what I did wrong and felt he wouldn't do this for my two sisters. So on the way to the gym I start to cry and when he starts to lecture about how I play too much video games I start crying. I say how I feel he favors the girls and wouldn't constantly yell at them. He unexpectedly gets really emotional and begins saying how when he grew he didn't have a father and promised himself he would be a great father. When they learned they were having a boy (me ) he was thrilled. He promisedhimself to be a great father. He says it's just he has higher expectations for me then the girls but things hes failing as a father. I tried to assure him he's great and he shouldn't feel that way but it's not working. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help?

I know the title of this question makes me sound like a spoilt brat, but these are the details: So last year, my family and I are at the mall buying christmas gifts. We go into a store, and I hint heavily at my mom "oh if you guys want to buy me a gift you can get this thing" (the thing I asked for wasn't very expensive at all, much cheaper than other gifts in the past). She kinda huffs and goes to get it (not making it a secret at all) and I leave the store a bit because I'm acting like I didn't see what she got so that I could act a bit surprised on christmas. Anyways she ends up buying it (this is a week before christmas day) and kinda just leaves it on the dining table. All the other gifts are either wrapped or hidden, whereas mine is just lying there in plain sight. So I ask her "umm are you going to wrap my gift?" and she keeps saying "yes I will, sorry" and I'm like "It's okay". (the reason why I care about a gift being wrapped, despite knowing what it is, is because it's part of the tradition. I wrapped the present that I got her). Christmas day comes and when we're all unwrapping our gifts, mine is there under the tree the only thing unwrapped (it was also the only gift, which I'm not complaining about but my point is it's not like my other gifts were wrapped). I then get upset that it's not wrapped, and my mom says "why are you upset? it would've just been a waste of paper to wrap it". My other family members (dad and sister) actually sided with me that it wasn't right for my mom not to wrap it, and my mom actually kinda apologized. But I'm still super hurt. We always wrap gifts on christmas day. It made me feel like I forced her to buy this relatively inexpensive gift, and she didn't even care enough to wrap it. The gift I got her was even more expensive than the one I chose, and I spent time choosing it and made it a secret and even wrapped it. And I being unreasonable/over emotional for still being upset at it?

My nephew (16) has been having difficulty sleeping lately and his parents dont really believe in good old fashion therapy so they're basically saying he'll get over it. Bu lately he has been getting much worst and says its effecting his ability to function during the day. Ive spoken to my big sister (his mom) about it and tried to help her realize that he needs to see a dr or something bc it's gotten that bad but she insists that they've (she and his father) decided against it. Feeling bad for him, my girlfriend has been sharing her sleep aid with him and he says its helping but he sometimes has a hard time waking up. I'm not sure if that's due to the dose being too much for him or the wrong med or what (I'm not a dr). I'm at a cross between having her cease giving him (and leaving him suffering without any form of treatment) or letting her continue. His parents obviously dont know he's been taking sleep aids and I cant decide whether to tell them or not either bc a) they might cut him off and leave him without treatment. But if she keep secretly giving him ot might mask the severity of whatever is going on with him

Ignore the question mark on the top Anyway my dad keeps talking about stupid stuff and won't stop making fun of me, I'm really pissed of his annoying jokes that don't even make sense, he also laughs at me when I cry, please help me I can't handle this anymore :( It's impossible to ignore him, my mom tried her best to make him shut up but he didn't, do I call the police?

We aren't dating or anything. We were like acquaintances bordering into a flirty friendship. But we live too far away from each other to actually date. He really liked talking to me he even said right off the bat that he saw us being good friends and us talking for a long time. It was basically an internet friendship.But he said some perverted things to me and said some really insulting jokes to me. Which I told him they were insulting but he apologized with a joke. Not sure if he knew if I was being serious or not. Then after I got this intense feeling that he wants me to always be complimenting him. So basically like boosting his ego for him. I know this because he asked me to compliment him because he complimented me so now hedeserves a compliment? I am not sure if I am being too sensitive but I just have this gut feeling. So to avoid confrontation I just stopped texting him back overall. I know he's probably stalking my feed so I made a comment on a post about why guys make insulting flirt jokes and why they joke about private things like someone genitals, which he said to me. Let me just say me and this guy have been barely talking for a week and he said those things. Either he's too casual and dumb or a weirdo,You know?Someone commented on my comment and called that "negging" which I replied to that person by saying, "That immediately makes me lose interest when a guy treats me that way."That is his answer. Right now I feel bad because I have never ghosted anyone before

My son and his wife moved to LA last year and everytime we get together she always flirts with me big time. Since she's super hot I usually flirt back . The most I've done is let her sit on my knee and give her a wet willy

When her son and I got engaged she kept nagging at us to get married before she was born. When I was near giving birth she was telling me and my partner that she was going to get baby things and put them in her house for when we couldn't cope and she could stay the night. Fast forward to when our daughter was born she'd always take her off me and say she's my baby you have her all the time. My partner confronted her and told her to give the baby back to me. So she did and sulked (she walked off on us in the shopping centre we were at the time and didn't come back for an hour). Fast forward 2 years and I've just had my son 11 months ago and she's came into my house and told me to go study or get a job (in aged care) because if my partner gets sick I need to be qualified and ready for it (I have completed hsc studies at university and cert 2 and cert 3 in animal studies but she seems to have forgotten that). Me and my partner and even eventually my own mother told her to back off because what I do with my life is none of her business, she has now not been talking to me or her son for a month and shows no signs of getting over it. Now it's causing arguments between me and my partner because he wants me to go to a family event tomorrow but I refuse to go because I feel so uncomfortable being around her since she stopped coming to events to do with my kids and avoids anyone to do with me. What do I do?

My sick brothers' birthday is next week but today I just find out from his daughter that he has been secretly abusing his wife and daughter and the things she described seems so unlike him but I'm wise enough to know many people have two sides to the characters: one they show in public and the real one they show only at home. So would I be wrong if I didn't wish him a happy birthday? My brother is terribly ill and sick with kidney failure, handicapped and bedridden and I used to feel so sorry for him but today after what my niece told me, my heart is beginning to harden.

For starters, he's a raging alcoholic, materialistic, selfish, self centered,inconsiderate, impolite, rude, disgusting person. He cheated on my mom while she was in the hospital, she had dealt silently with depression because of him and the way he never tried to be compassionate and gentle with her, he always made her feel like ****, when she was sick he would come home drunk and laugh at her for being so "delicate" (smells made her have nausea) and when she died he started treating her mom, my grandmother the same way, accusing her of being a witch and brainwashing me to dislike him. Currently he is with the woman he was cheating on and claims that the only reason he's with her is because she can cook, he also confessed that he married my mom so he would have someone to take care of him, weather it be her or the children. He has never been kind, supportive,a good mentor or nothing that makes a good father be so. The only reason he's living with me is because he "wants me to have my education" but i know it's just so he can brag about it, he's living in my grandmothers house with me and he HATES her and mentally harasses her she is old and can't do much and he calls her useless, she has worked her whole life. Everyone tells me that i should make things better and we should get along, but i just don't see that happening, he will always be a jerk and as soon as i graduate i want to be as far away from him as possible. but is that right? how should things be? how should i feel?

So I m currently 13 years old and I have an older sister who is 15. My parents are telling her that she is going to be forced to live in another country with none of our family, she will not have money, food, or clothes, just nothing at all, they have currently bought her the tickets for the plane. She currently has only one month left here in the U.S, my sister has then turned to self-harm to cope with her not wanting to go to another country by herself, I just really need to help her before it s too late

My family hate me because I'm a gypsy and I had a black boyfriend and they didn't like and now I'm a slut in there eyes and scum and they don't speak to me no more my mum died and my dads a crack head :( my older sister causes trouble and tells lies on me and makes me feel like crap and threatens to beat me up and she tells people things and turns people against me when she is no better than what I am. I work but I feel so suicidle I feel ashamed as my family hate me because I went with a black guy I was in love with him we r not together anymore but it hurts so bad they want nothing to do with me because of this they call me n*gga lover and stuff I have no friends my sister took my friends from me and now there her friends I feel alone and suicidle and that everyone hates me I used to drink before and smoke weed everyday and people knew me for it but I'm trying to turn my life around but I feel lonely now and I have no family or friends

So my mother has been psyically abusive in the past, starting at the age of 10 she was leaving me with bruises and cuts on my body. She hasnt hurt me for about 6 months maybe. Shes constantly bringing me down and is very emotionally and verbally abusive. She treats me unfairly as compared to my other siblings, I m not allowed to stay up late (she ll let my younger brothers stay up later than me,) if I do bad in school she ll threaten me and ground me, she ll also tell my dad I said things I DIDNT SAY to make him mad at me. She always looks for a way to mistreat me. Shes very insulting and likes to make fun of my body. She tells lies about me so people are turned off by me. Over all I feel like the longer i live with her the less sane i am. She s mentally ruined me, I have anxiety attacks constantly and have breakdowns a couple times a day because of her. Daily life is horrible with her, sometimes I ll get random text messages from her saying how she ll make me breakup with my boyfriend and sell my pets just because she knows I love both. She openly says "I ll take away everything you love, your happiness is in my hands honey" shes very manipulative and awful. She only acts like this with me, which has caused me horrible depression and anxiety to the point where I ve tried to commit suicide a couple times. I m 15 now, and my question is, would there be a way for me to move out at 17 without my parents consent? I feel like I can only take so much more...

I work as an intern in a office. At an office party, I didn't have a date so I brought my mom. The next day I was talking to Bob in the employee break room and he told me. "I see where you get your good looks. Your mom is beautiful". Trying to help my mom, "I said she is single too". He said, that is really unusual. She is so beautiful she could have any guy she wanted". Bob is the greatest looking guy in the office and is the guy ALL the single girls want to date. I said "does that include you?" Bob said "I would be very flattered to date your mom but with all the guys she could choose from, I doubt she would date me. Would she want to date someone younger than she is?" I want to fix my mom up with a date with Bob. I know she would enjoy a date with him. I am just not sure how I can do this. Anyone have any ideas how I can make this date happen? My guess is Bob is 8 years younger than my mom. Gals, is there any reason you would not want to date a younger guy?
