Family: Question: My mother is being incredibly mean.?

Question: My mother is being incredibly mean.?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 01:03 PM PST

Today, when I was getting ready for drylands (a before swim practice fitness session) I asked my mother if I could attend, only for the fact that it was the older swim groups drylands time. Since it is February break, there have been changes in the schedule, so my group was scheduled to do drylands with the older kids. I did't want to go because the older kids make me kind of uncomfortable, because a) they are all faster than me and b) because literally all the kids are about 5 years older than me. No one from my group was going, so I politely asked my mother if I could only go swimming, not to drylands. Well, she screamed at me sayingI should be a leader, not a follower, and proceeded to push me out of her way, put her jacket on, and storm to the garage to start up the car. I immediately followed, as I did't want to get on her bad side, but I found her already down the street and leaving me in the dust. What should I do??

Question: Stupid and toxic parents?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 12:00 PM PST

I feel like I am a failure with low self-esteem because I have a stupid Mom and a toxic Dad. My Mom is stupid and is completely oblivious to how the world works and is extreme stubborn. When I try to teach her or show her new things, she completely ignores it and thinks I don't know what I am talking about. Then, when her relatives, friends, and co-workers tell her about it. She comes to me and is like "Wow, I just found out about this. Did you know about this?", when I told her the same exact thing weeks before. My Dad is toxic. Just toxic. You can talk to him for 5 minutes and he will make you feel like you are the most useless piece of garbage in existence and you are better off dead. My Grandfather is just as toxic and abusive as him and sometimes even worse. Even my Mom thinks he is an ****** and she is usually oblivious to everything. From what I heard, my Grandfather's Mom, my Great Grandmother was ultra toxic and abusive to him because my Great Grandfather died shortly after he was born after a random fortune-teller told her that he is bad luck and will cause the demise of his father. His Mother and two brothers bullied and abused the hell out of him because they thought he was the cause of his father's death. What should I do? I live with them and I feel more and more suicidal everyday.

Question: Why does my family think I need them to take care of me when I’ve been taking care of myself for years?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 11:10 AM PST

When I moved out they insisted I'd be "crawling back to them in a month" so I made sure never to need their help for anything. A couple of years later they insisted my younger sibling move in with me while going to college. Ever since my apartment has been messy and I have no time since I have to raise my adult-child sibling. Parents keep siding with sibling insisting that I'm the one making the messes and that sibling has no time for school cause I'm the one who needs to be cared for. I was doing fine for years alone, why would they side with sibling insisting that I'm the one needing all the extra attention when I've been independent so long? How can I get them to see my sibling is just flipping the story so that they all gang up on me?

Question: What should I do if I found sex toys in my parents’ room - I’m 16 years old?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 10:53 AM PST

I'm adopted so I assumed they never have sex at all. They didn't need to, and it's not like they're having a new baby either. They're really nice people, I thought they'd never do such gross things. My parents never talked to me about reproduction at all. I just found out from other kids at school back in 5th grade. It was never a family topic to discuss about. To this day, they still assume that I have no idea about the basics of relationships. So I thought they're the same as well.

Question: Step brother thinks he's my real brother, how do I stop him?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 10:06 AM PST

My step brother is older than me, we get along fine. Our parents have been married for over seven years now, he's 17 and I am 15. He is over protective with me and even calls me lil sis, he scares every single guy that comes my way. I had a crush and my crush also had a crush on me and he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend this Valentine's day, turns out my step brother scared him away saying that if his intentions weren't good, he was going to hurt him really bad. My crush told me he said that to him, so he rathers stay away and stopped talking to me. My step brother is really annoying me. I'm the one who wants to hurt him now, how do I stop him? I won't tell our parents cause they'll give him the "Good job" words. I already did, is frustrating.

Question: Pregnant girlfriends mom hates me. She told me i cant go to any dr appointments with her daughter and i cant sign the birth certificate?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 09:36 AM PST

Saying she "knows assholes like me, and that im going have to go through her to get to her daughter. And that ill have to figure another way to sign the birth certificate. My gf unfollowed me on instagram, and 24hrs later refollowed me back. Look i don't care about child support. i just want to be a good dad and i want to see my child born. Im a good man. But her mom's making it difficult by leaving threatening text/ voicemails on my phone. What do i do? My gf fears her mom because shes abusive? Please advise me please help me

Question: Are my parents just really stupid?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 07:46 AM PST

1.when my boyfriend comes to see me they put him in my room 2. I can be alone with him in my room when the door is at least half open 3. No questions asked takes us to the drug store (we are trying to have a baby) 4. Leaves us alone for hours on end when she goes shopping 5. we can go anywhere we want outside alone 6. We washed some clothes witch I never do 7. He gave me stuff from Victoria secret and she doesn't know where it came from

Question: Asking my mom to smoke weed at home?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 07:20 AM PST

So I am 19 and in the middle of my sophomore year of college. I recently came out to my parents as gay and am feeling a lot more open with them. I am going to be home for the summer and living with my mom because she is closer to all my friends. I am thinking of maybe asking my mom if me and my friends could smoke weed on the back deck. Me and my mom are extremely close but she's the daughter of a former cop so she has never tried weed before because my grandfather was really strict on that and she grew up in the 1980s with its drug scare tactics. I have been smoking weed since I was 15 and regularly since I was 17, my mom has caught a whiff but we have never actually talked about it outside of her yelling at me lol. I think it would be nice if this summer me and my friends, many of whom she has known for 10+ years could smoke outside on our back deck during the summer. We all have summer jobs/internships and its nice to unwind with a blunt or 2 rather than drink. Plus its nice to know that the cops aren't gonna pull up to my HUGE backyard and its just way more chill. How should I bring up this topic and to any of the parents out there how would you feel if your son asked you the same thing? Weed is illegal but decriminalized where I live but legal where I go to college and it would be nice to have a safe place to smoke like I can at school and just be open with my mom.

Question: Is my step dad a perv?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 06:44 AM PST

My mum and dad divorce when I was 4 and my mum met a new man who's my step dad within a few months, they got married when I was 6 I'm now 19 and he is very strange around me and has been for as long as I can remember. He took the lock off of the bathroom when I was about 15 and used to come in when I'd be in the bath even though I'd shout at him to get out, he also repeatably stares at my chest and bum so I always try to cover up as much as I can when I'm around him. Last year I actually opened up to my mum about it and told her I felt uncomfortable with him staring at me and she caused a massive argument saying he's really upset and he doesn't stare at me. So it got brushed under the carpet but I'm still not comfortable around him I even refuse to go on holidays with them because I know he'll stare at me in a bikini etc and the thought of it just makes me sick, what should I do?

Question: How to accept the fact that I will never be be accepted by my mother and or anything I do for her is never good enough?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 06:19 AM PST

I am ready to deattach from her completely so I can have peace of mind..my mother has been abusing me and my sisters since she came back into our lives. She is so vindictive and controlling plus angry. She's always pushing her anger on me and my sister and always trying to control our lives. At this point, I don't want anything to do with her. Right now, she's slandering me and my sister's name like we hate her..

Question: Was It Hard Being Independents For The 1st Time ?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 04:06 AM PST

So their is like a none stop drama going on with my family right now all my siblings is blaming me for all of this mess. I was born with a heath problem I have a whole in my heart so the doctors put a peace maker in me to keep me alive if I do any heavy activity my peace maker will shock me I cant really do anything besides walking & sitting I wish i can go do fun sports but thats to much for me even walking for a few hours gets me tired they all are mad at me. They really think I can be Independent all my siblings are pretty much going to leave me if I dont learn how to drive or do anything because they think im just lazy when they dont realize how serious a heart problem is plus having heath problems you have to deal with Social Wokers too no one wants to deal with that im just prerty much nothing but a tool to help all my siblings move on with their lifes & just leave me behind. If I get a job I dont know if I can do a job because most jobs do heavy activity & if I make to much money ssi might cancel my ssi what if I get a heart attack while working & I dont have any money what then ? I dont know if I can be Independent everything just so hard for me If I do to much of anything anything can happen to me Im not normal like normal people I cant just do what ever I wish.

Question: What is it my mum is doing to me, and why does she decide to do this now after I got a job?

Posted: 18 Feb 2019 03:07 AM PST

I'm sorry to sound like someone who isn't a sheep to his own mother, but my mum has this very annoying habit where she would repeatedly tell you to do something after you acknowledged it with her. For example, I'm busy on my office computer where she then starts bugging me to feed the pets by repeatedly telling me to feed them even though I said okay. She's been doing this to me especially when I started working. It's very annoying and it gets in the way of my productivity. Sometimes I end up telling her in a hightened voice that I am just too busy to attend to whatever it is she needs me to do. Also, what does it mean if my mum tries to make me feel guilty after I told her how much she owes and after arguing with her about the money she owes? She owes close to $3000 and has not paid me a cent in over 6 months and she just asks things like what about the food she has paid for me over the years, the money she spent educating me, the money she spent altering my legs and bottom (I have a plump bottom), the stuff I wanted over the years, and the money putting a roof over my head. My mum owes me close to $3000 while my dad owes me close to $13,000

Question: Should I move out of my parents house?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 10:55 PM PST

My parents constantly bicker. They use me as a mediator to settle their disputes. My mother does absolutely nothing outside of her part time job. She throws all of her junk into the garage or her bedroom. She tends to pry into my personal business and interrogates me every time I try to leave the house on my own. My father is hardly ever home but when he is I can't stand his presence. He's invited his friends over on numerous occasions without letting us know in advance. He leaves his personal possessions scattered about the entirety of the home. He's never around to play with or clean up after his new puppy. My dad has a short temper when confronted about any issues we have with him. I'm expected to do all the cleaning and cooking. The two rooms my mom hoards all her belongings in are off limits. My pops has been known to cheat and lie in the past but my ma stays with him anyways. They never taught me how to pay bills or taxes no matter how many times I've asked them about it. I've been out of work & school for the past 6 months due to my depression and anxiety. They refuse to provide any assistance when I need some extra help applying for jobs. I'll be 20 years old in July. I have about 11,000 dollars saved up from my last job. Would this be enough cash to get by on my own until I can find another source of income?

Question: Should I be worried about this possible creepy pastor?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 09:43 PM PST

I recently had a family member pass and Pastor Rob was chosen to do the funeral service. Everybody in my family loves Pastor Rob because he isn't your typical pastor (I mean he smoked pot, snorted coke, and was a heavy drinker in his youth. He also cusses a lot). At the funeral, it gets a little strange. As I was standing next to him, Pastor Rob decides to grab the shoulder of my shirt and tug on it and adjust it in front of everyone (he said the seam was crooked or something). The second physical encounter happened when he came up behind me and put his entire hand around my neck and did this for about 10 seconds (this scared the heck out of me). The third physical encounter happened at lunch after the funeral. After my mother and other relatives had left the table he told me that my bra strap was showing and tugged on the shoulder of my shirt and adjusted it. I thought I should throw in that he wants my sister and I to stay at his house for a week over the summer. He told my sister and I that we could smoke weed. And he didnt just say this once, but at least 5 times throughout the funeral and visitstion (for some of this there weren't adults present.) One of my cousin's friends overheard what he said and she tried telling people thay she got weird vibes (her name is Claire) but everyone laughed it off. P.s. I'm 17, Claire is 17, and my sister is 15. I'm not sure if I should brush this off and stay at his house or what.

Question: How can the parents who love me the most in the world also be the most harmful people to me and what do I do about it?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 09:39 PM PST

My mom is very critical of everyone s personal life choices including mine and she doesn t allow me to wear shorts and always criticises make up and these are the only things I can count on when I have fights with my friends. These are the small things that make me happy even in the darkest of times and without them, I feel depressed and can t stop crying. My mom has been disturbed from how angrily I have been rebelling since she never heeds what I say otherwise. She has been getting back aches and my dad has been telling me that I should cool down because she could die. This is wrong because I don t see how back ache can lead to death and while I know that he is genuinely worried, I feel that clearly no one is concerned about my happiness here and its not my mistake if she can t handle my freedom even if it makes her sick. I need SOME BOUNDARIES and how I dress up is about her and not about me. How can the people who love me the most also be the most harmful to me in the world? How can I ever believe in any type of love after this?

Question: Why my aunts always screaming at me?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 09:16 PM PST

Like they are not married and they fight each other constantly. I stayed at their house for a month and they started screaming at me. Why?

Question: How can he be so horrible?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 08:41 PM PST

My sister's ex boyfriend who was living with her and her kids and was like a father to the the kids left them just like that and the kids and my sister lost their home and everything and the kids still talk about him saying he doesn't want to live with them and see them ever and they're only 4.

Question: What would you do in my position?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 08:00 PM PST

First of all my sister(20) had brought her bf secretly to our house and so she got caught. My parents divorced awhile ago. my dad remarried and my mom got a boyfriend now. So after she got caught my dad kicked my sister out and threw all her stuff out in a bag. He basically said he doesn't want her as a daughter. Now he says he doesn't want to me around her or like be associated with her no more. my mom says she is trying to find a new house and my sister is currently staying at our cousins house. I think my mom wants me to move in with her, but if I do I would feel like I'm leaving my dad. I just really feel like I'm stuck in the middle and one of the worst part is just that he doesn't want me to see my sister anymore. I'm only 15 btw. My mind is having a lot of thoughts and any advice would be helpful rn.

Question: What do you do about family members who always make you extremely uncomfortable?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 07:45 PM PST

But always make you feel extremely guilty when you tell them off, by always being so sensitive and defensive

Question: Is my 11 year old brother addicted to video games?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 07:24 PM PST

Im 15, and my 11 year old brother and I share an xbox. We payed for it evenly, and agreed to share it evenly. If I m playing, and my brother wants to play, I finish up the game I m on, and give him the controller and then find something else to do. However, If I come back down a few hours later asking to play, he gets really angry and snobby saying "you couldve played earlier" or "im in a party right now". My parents pretty much turn a blind eye to it. He plays usually 8+ hours a day, waking up as early as 7 AM on weekends to get on. And if he s not playing xbox, he s watching gaming videos on his iPod. He never wants to do anything with me or my other brother. He s also really good at soccer, but he has lately been complaining about going to practices and games (I dont know if this is related to video games or not). It s just sad to see him rot his childhood away playing. Me and my other brother are always asking him to come outside to do something, but he always refuses. I dont know what to do or how to get him off the game becuase my parents dont do anything about it. Thanks.

Question: Who is my daughters, moms, sisters daughter to me?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 07:13 PM PST

Question: Is my Grandma overprotective?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 06:21 PM PST

Here's some stuff she does that is annoying in my opinion. Whenever I (politely) disagree with her opinion she yells at me, I don't have any privacy. I'm not allowed to keep secerts, I'm not allowed to be in another room (such as my bedroom), I'm not allowed to talk with anyone on the phone, I'm not allowed to have friends at school, I have a friend from Church but I can't hang out with her/go to her house, I'm not allowed to have anything with supernatural (ghosts, vampires, etc), nothing with violence, etc For reference I'm 16

Question: My sister has Pancreatitis this week. Unfortunately they say she will live. When she recovers how do I deal with her verbal abuse?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 06:19 PM PST

Not trolling, speaking the truth. If she hadn't recovered the only bad part would have been Mom and Dad suffering, my brother and I would have been fine. She will live though as long as it does not end up being accute. She is a college aged bully who acts as though she is nine. She abuses people verbally all the time and it hurts so much. She is an abusive human being.

Question: Hey guys Is this weird?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 06:17 PM PST

So theres this guy we used to go to school with eachother. He popped up at my grandpa's funeral, & I recently saw him at McDonald's the thing Im getting at is this boy was finee in his suit, I think he's like a supervisor & Guess where McDonald's is he works right down the street from my job I really want to talk to him😍... But the thing is his biological mother adopted my uncles & aunties because they are my mothers brothers/sisters they have a bond that close so he seems so forbidden but I dont even know my uncles and aunties like thay they stopped talking to my mom when I was born they've never been in my life. But maybe when people say we are together they can emphasis the "They're not related" part. Lol I just need advice thank you though... 💚

Question: Is my mom toxic?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 06:13 PM PST

My mom and I tend to view things differently. She's the kind of person who thinks that she always right about everything. I have difficulty expressing myself as a 24 year old but when I try to, it seems pointless. For example, I drive her and my stepdad literally everywhere plus I work and try to spend time with my bf on weekends, whom she hates. I asked for a break once a month because I have times where I'm super tired and just want to go home without worrying about picking up someone. She turns it into I'll just take a cab everyday like she's done before when I didn't have a car. She doesn't acknowledge my bf as my bf. She calls him a acquaintance. She feels like she was disrespected because he expressed he was uncomfortable when he came to visit me and she was there like a hovering supervisor and that he didn't care what her thoughts of him were. He just cared about my happiness. I didn't say much in that convo since that was between them but she was upset I didn't defend her. Yet she wants people to be up front with her but gets upset when they do. With my stepdad, she doesn't even trust him. She hides sodas and other items. She tells me to say this and that so he can pay us what he owes us. I have to hide the truth from him cause she says so. I also told her how she made me feel bad and she didn't even acknowledge that. This was when I asked her for the driving break.She skipped over how I felt and got upset. I dunno how to talk to her.

Question: Which situation is worse?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 05:56 PM PST

A girl who was raised and taken care of by her single dad, and she never met her mom. She died after giving birth. Or a girl who met both of her parents, but was taken care of by her single mom, and her dad was a deadbeat who was never really there?

Question: Parent stopped paying University housing?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 05:14 PM PST

So yesterday I found out my Dad hasn't paid my housing bill in two months. I have no idea why, he makes $200K a year, I do well in school and I'm not a horrible child. I'm 23, however the job market is horrible and I cannot work in school due to a heavy course load. I worked hard to get this far in life and it's not fair. How should I ask him to pay?

Question: What is my bro in law rude to me all the time?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 04:07 PM PST

My little sister married this guy whom I think is an assh0le (really). He got his own business (electronic shop). When they were married for a year, my sister asked me why didnt I talk to her husband? Well, it was funny that I was the one who had to initiate a conversation otherwise he wouldnt start talking. So why do I have to start a conversation with him everytime? And last night, we had a wedding. A cousin of mine was married. When we were leaving I asked this guy, where do you park? and he answered with a high tone which I think was rude. he said "right there! right there!"..... I got one more dislike. My sister and this guy got 2 sons. He works everyday from Monday to Sunday. He rarely takes my sister and their sons to go out. Like bringing their sons to an arcade or just playing sports. My sister and their two sons are just staying at home most of the time. So what's wrong with this BRO in law? in summary, he is rude to me most of the time..... working from Monday to Sunday is not being a hard worker. it is ignoring his family..... And BTW on Sunday he is supposed to go to church......

Question: I think my father might be Dead, what do you think !?!?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 04:04 PM PST

Hey guys, I'm not sure but I think my dad is dead, so to give the short story, I haven't heard from my pops in almost, and just doesn't seem like him to do this, my dad has never the best, but dag, he would check with me my family, every so often, I grow up with fair weather parent, he was a semi dead beat, I low-key miss him, me and my mom kept our distance from him, last year when tried to reach out to us, but now he's just M.I.A., IDK guys what do you think...

Question: My parents constantly criticise me everyday and I just feel like I will never be able to please them?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 03:54 PM PST

I am a 17 year old guy in 6th form college. I feel like I would be really happy right now if my parents my mum in particular didn't point out the flaws in everything I do. They criticise everything I do: the friends I pick, who I date, the courses I picked, the sports I play, the part time job I have and so much more. I feel like they are both depressed and unhappy with their lives and are taking it out on me. They just have a go for no reason and some of the stuff is the opposite to what they said before for example they criticised me for being anti social and not going out enough but then a few days later I went out with some mates and they had a go at me for leaving them to do all the housework. My mum said something like "oh you go on then and have fun while I slave away as usual" and when I point out how hippo-critical that was I was just told off for answering back and got no explanation. And as a psychology student I know that it's important to explain reasons why they are being punished but they only do that half the time. Any advice people?

Question: When family seems to be sad and unhappy. How do you stay positive?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 03:53 PM PST

It seems lately that I have been busy with my life and it has been going well. The problem is with my family. Whenever I talk to them there are always issues, there is always some kind of drama or unhappiness, I come out of the conversation feeling sad and uneasy. I am eternally grateful for my family and they have been there when I was also down in my life and I needed someone to talk to. Regardless is this normal?

Question: My parents want me to take in my 19 year old sister (I’m in my early 20s) and clean for her, drive her, and pay her utilities. What can I do?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 02:42 PM PST

I tell them I'm not going to mollycoddle her like that and everyone gets butt hurt and says I'm ripping the family apart. I'm working an extra day a week to cover her expenses and spend all my time at home being her housekeeper. They keep siding with her saying I should treat her like they would but both parents are only children and have no comprehension that I don't see it as the "honor" they insist it is. What can I do? Our lease isn't up till August. I'm moving out but our parents say that since I'm moving out that I am "destroying the family cause [i] demand attention". Idk wtf is wrong with them

Question: Should a European women complain?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 01:29 PM PST

Should a European women complain? The man that had sex with her told her that he never loved her and only had sex with her because he wanted children. The women is pregnant with his child but knows that he will be a very good father to her child, but he will not marry her and live in the same household.

Question: Why is my grandma like this?

Posted: 17 Feb 2019 12:16 PM PST

i'm an 18 year old girl living with my grandparents (long story) . But anyway, i feel uncomfortable around her cause she always comments on my body. She says i'm too skinny when i don't think i am that skinny. I am happy with my body and the way i look. She says now that i'm here she's gonna make me gain weight & that it's better to have more fat. (Shes chubby) And that scares me like how is she gonna "make me" fatter? She also says i try to show off my body to attract men and that i shouldn't wear skinny jeans. Why is she like this and how can i protect myself from her behavior? btw my family is crazyy

Question: My brother may be depressed?

I am a girl who is studying abroad in Spain. I will be back on May 10. My brother is 12 and I am almost 20. He has a 21 year old sister who is in Louisiana with her husband waiting for him to get out of the army. She will be spending a year in Louisiana after she graduates college in May. I got an internship for a summer job in Washington that will be from May 27 to July 5. His summer break is June 1 to August 14. He can't stand me or his other sister to be away. His other sister will not be here for the summer, unless the medical school staff make her go right away without a year off, which he hopes they will. He has said he hates life. He has mild autism. His personality went from being comedic and sensitive to not talking at all (at least at school, he is not socializing at all) because he is jealous due to most kids at his school having siblings that are close in age to them. He always tells me he feels sick and he feels like he is going to have a seizure. I can never use Facetime (WhatsApp) with him without him getting into a fight about this, or breaking down into tears. What can I do with him?

Question: Parents of Yahoo, how would you react if you found out your son/daughter was anorexic?
