So my dad ad a stroke in dec 28th. I am 24 and he is 72, I think age is relevant. Ever since the stroke he got back home and did a lot of exercise to get back his left side movement. Now that he is better, he used all my college money to buy a new car and brought an old lady home who he has only known for a month. She also needs him to find her a job and house and give her documents to stay... So I obviously did not welcome her home. I tried to speak with him before hand but as he would not listen I resorted to telling her to never grab onto my dads leg in front of me, I told her a decent person would not do that. I told her she does not want to start anything with me. Ever since then, Ive been trying to limit contact with my father who is very upset about my honesty. I feel like he inst thinking things through and quite frankly, if I pay rent he should consider my opinion or try to fill me in on things. I told him to never bring anyone into the house because he should have outdoor relationships not indoor. Overall I feel perplexed but insistent. My dads never brought a woman home in my whole life. My mom passed away 7 years ago. I don't know what to do about this. He said my attitude is ridiculous but I am just trying to stand up for myself. He said he was only bringing her home so I could look up a job on craigslist for her. But as I spoke with her she never mentioned a job and she seemed weird. No eye contact and she left my side to go sit with my dad and grabbed onto his leg.

My mom forces me to study. Yes I know that this is normal but 5 HOURS NON-STOP WITHOUT BREAKS? My full weekend to studying. And the worst thing is, she makes me study the wrong things! Once i had to study chapter 15 but she forced me to study chapter 10 until 14! No 15! Then she was so mad wen she found out about my F. She also makes everything so f*cking hard in my life! Easy things become so hard for me! She sometimes even punches me if i forgot my math book! (I didn't have any test from math!) She is Asian. My dad only thinks it's a great idea to let me study! He doesn't even care! He just supports my mom! My grandparents understand me but my mom never listens! Today I'm sick and she doesn't even care! She just told me it's my own fault for not wearing a jacket. But I don't think so! My dad is so sick and I have the same disease! I have the same symptoms. My mom just told me that it's my fault and that she doesn't care. She just told me if there is anything different she cloud help with! Now I'm here 9:24Pm sick in the living room! She is just playing on her phone now! She says I spend to much time in my phone while she sits on her phone from 6AM-11PM!!!!!!!! And that I use my phone too close to my eyes while she only has it 5CM from her face!!!! I have pain everywhere! My dad is always mad at me for no apparent reason! Help! I just wanna run away from home.

So, my single mother never does her dishes correctly, and i've gotten sick of it. What happened was, I made cereal, and found out there was no spoons. So, I went to the running dishwasher, and grabbed one. The first spoon I grabbed was covered in melted cheese from the dinner we had last night. So, I decided to check every dish in the dishwasher and put all the dirty ones back in the sink, washed my spoon, and started back up the load. I then texted my mother telling her I am getting tired of her dishes being disgusting. She has 4 other kids not including myself, and she's not being the greatest example towards them. So, I told her that. My siblings thinks it's okay not to clean the dishes correctly cuz my mom never does. I also told her that that her dishes were terrible and I put all the dirty ones back in the sink. Almost immediately, she called me. She told me that I needed to know my place, she was the parent, I was the child, i should respect her. I told her it wasn't my fault she can't be a good example to my siblings, then I hung up. She called again telling me I need to respect her, and that I can't call her out for being a bad example since I don't go to irl school, and I do online school (Which i am doing wonderful in). I told her I was sick of living her, I am sick of everyone being messy, being irresponsible, not minding my mother. She is too lenient. She cannot stick with the punishments she gives. Was it wrong for me to tell her the truth and call her out?

My daughter's long term boyfriend comes over the house to visit her a couple of nights out a week. He normally comes whenever she gets off work which is around 4-5 pm. They eat dinner and then go upstairs and watch tv in the game room ( I don't allow her boyfriend in her room). She's 26. He's 30. They don't have their own place yet as they cannot afford it at the moment. I have to say sometimes it can be awkward when we we are all downstairs together because I don't feel like holding a conversation with him all of the time, especially once I get off work and just want to relax. My 18 year old son said I should leave and go on a date or something with his mom whenever her and her boyfriend are there so that it isn't so awkward. My daughter hadn't said anything about wanting privacy but she tends to talk to him less when he's around. My son was like " just give them some privacy for like an hour or whatever. You know they probably want to cuddle. whenever i'm at my girlfriend's house her parents always leave and give us a few hours to ourself". My son is also close friends with her boyfriend

She's 17, been dating this guy since she was ab 15. She's shut her family out and the only person that matters is him. UNLESS, she wants something from someone. Like, she shut all family out, and only talks to my mom or I if she wants something. She's just became out of control with constantly wanting to be around her bf, and everything is about him. She does what she wants and listens to no one. Ever since he came into her life she's became this spoiled selfish brat. This all just sucks because she used to be my best friend. No she's not "just growing up" because she's literally OBSESSED. She doesn't spend time for herself and it's all about him 24/7. I'm tired of being used and actually want her to care enough to spend time with me without bribes.

When my brother passed away my sister was alive and I have been living in his condo for four years she has since passed away and she has three heirs that now my sisters portion would go to her children. Do I have to move out and sell the condo now because the court on my sister's estate is asking if she has any inheritance and the condo has been put on there as inheritance and they're giving me time to move out and sell the property do I have to be forced to move

My dad asked what I wanted to do for today. Any ideas for quality, not to expensive, father and son time?

I'm 22 and I want to go back to college, I want to save for a car, I want to be able to afford clothes! I love my mother but ever since I was young I had been on SSI yes I have a learning disability I may not be able to do math or understand big words.... I'm learning slowly She depends on that check to much I could bring more money in by working she's wheel chair bound but she can do a small Sistine walk in the house down to the hall way.... etc She has her appointments and everything she alwasy tells me I HAVE TO GO because her boyfriend who raised us also has health issues I feel it's not my job to go to these appointments all the time with her... it stops me from doing what I have to do I can't even stay at a friends house for a period of time I never lived on my own I want to... I told her I want to get a full time job and she told me how I would lose my ssi check then she would tell me she can't afford to stay in the apartment and buy the food... she gives me 200 A MONTH from that check I don't want that check I can work I can do things I get so angry my family, friends tell me I should leave that house and do what I want to do but I'm scared to leave my mother...I just want to be my own person be able to go back to college with out having to worry about this issue I can't even afford to get myself pants or clothes in general I'm just confused on how to break it down to her She says I won't be able to survive with out that check

i live in USA and im 16 and my parents are going on a business trip out of the country for 10 days and i live in a bad neighborhood and i only have a black lab dog and a tarantula. im worried bc what if something happens their already gone btw and im alone

My dad and paternal grandparents have know a couple (and now a 9 year old daughter) in new york for over 30 years. After discussing it for a few months i decided to stay with them (i am now 17) They have took in other kids who came from troubled homes. I however have family issues that every family has, small bickering, etc.. my parents are also divorced which isn't anything taboo nowadays. i arrived almost a week ago and have applied for a job and planned my transportation out. the husband used to council kids and adults and push them into career paths which they ended up liking. i however already have my career planned. he has mentioned me interning at places and has been having long talks to me about my family which has hurt me and made me cry. i dislike it very much for three reasons, i miss my family (they are over 1500 miles away) , i feel pressured to pursue opportunities i don't want, and they expect me to stay with them for at least a year. my dad and grandparents, along with the family i'm staying with would be let down and embarrassed if i confronted them with how i truly felt and that i want to leave in a few months. i know it's early but i cry almost everyday due to stress. i'm completely stuck.

She has almost an unhealthy attachment to her parents. When they die she will be like a ten year old who loses both parents. I think one will die in a year or so and the other maybe at the longest has 5 years. My mother says things like "I don't know if I will be able to go on when they are gone". She is attached like where she sees them 3 or 4 times a week back when I was a kid and they were healthy and in their 60's. Now she sees them daily since they are elderly and not in the best health. She has siblings but is not that close to them and mostly estranged from one.

So basically my parents said that we will be going to Portugal(my home country) during the Easter holiday and me and my sister were exited because it was a holiday and that.Well that all changed yesterday..... My dad basically said to my mum that he is goi g to Portugal very soon( some point during the Easter) but then he proceeded to tell her that he will not be taking the rest of us and that he will be going alone because "we can't go". This lead to my me , my mum and my sister becoming angry because we all wanted to go. He always does this when we plan to go abroad and this upsets me because pricing isn't an issue since the tickets are cheap and we live quite well off. He did the same thing last year where he said that we were going to France for a wedding or something and he promised to buy me a suit for it and that but at the end he never brought it so we didn't go.Going to Paris barley costs £180 when taking a car. Do I have the right to be angry? Or am I being spoilt?

My mom gives me anxiety when we travel together. But I really don't want to miss out on this trip. It's for 4 days and I'm scared of feeling trapped with her. I would tell her but 🤷🏾‍♀️ I think that's just who she is. On the other hand I feel like if I don't go I'm gonna regret letting her hold me back in a way. & I would be 5th wheel. Should I go or not?

she uses this biological affiliation to make use of me , do you think it's my fault or hers ?

I m being serious. I m 15 and my mom refuses to feed me. I live with my mom on weekends and my dad on weekdays and every time I stay with her she refuses to give me any food since apparently I would be "wasting her money". Usually, it s okay because I just eat when I go back to my dad s but I m staying with her for two weeks since it s my spring break. It s been three days and she hasn t given me any food except for a singular strawberry. She keeps the food locked up in a cupboard and I tried to break in but the lock is 8 digits and if I guess the code wrong three times, my mom will need to use a special key and she d know that I tried breaking in. I really need help. My stomach feels numb, I can barely stand up without seeing all these little dots and typing this is really hard because I m so tired. I know that this is abuse but I m scared to tell anyone because she ll get in trouble and my dad will probably hate me. I just need advice as to how I can sneak food in the house or acquire it somehow. (ps I have no friends in my mom s area and we live very far away from the grocery shop. it s a 20 min drive so it would probably be an hour and a half walk) all help is very appreciated!!!

I need advice! I am a single mom in my late twenties. I've always lived in the home with my grandparents and mom. Mainly because My son has special needs and I can only work part time. Now, my mom is healthy but very dependent. Never married ,never left home and, never had a license due to fear(I have to take her everywhere). I'm ready to move out. I have depended child car so that I can work full time and afford rent. I know my mom will feel like I'm leaving her and I'll look like the bad guy for not bringing her along. I need reassurance that I'm not wrong for leaving

i just see stories like shane's and other youtubers, who were peniless and then all a sudden had so much cash that theyd be able to help their family with. my mom's a single working mother and i have a lot of siblings, and my mom wont allow me to work, or at least i know she wont. its a ''you dont have to ask to know my answer'' type of thing. i spend ALL my time on the internet, why not? but i just wanna know, am i dreaming, or is this actually possible?

I am going to Valencia, Spain in April and I will be staying with a host family (mom, dad, and two daughters around my age) I want to bring them a little something to show my appreciation but I don't know what. I am from Boston and people have told me to bring Boston sports gear or Maple syrup--would they care about these things? They mentioned on the info sheet that they like to cook and to read, but I don't know much else about them.

I am really torn whether to attend. I can't my sister and don't want to, but I think that if I don't then my parents will be really upset. I don't care if they're angry but I don't want to see them upset. I don't know whether on the one hand to just suck it up and attend, with the pleasant knowledge that after the wedding I won't have to see much of her ever again because we won't be living in the sameness house, or to make a stand and just not go. Please any advice would be much appreciated.

So I'm 17 and I have my permit, but not my license yet. My mom's the only one who lets me drive and says I do good. I stay with her on the weekends so this is the only time I drive. My dad is too scared to let me drive, yet I've got to start practicing more. I've never really practiced backing up before and my dad parked his car sideways in the driveway for some reason and my stepmom told me to back up and go around it. As someone who is new to this, I slightly almost hit his car but didn't. My stepmom was like,"My god, what are you doing?" Which I get it, I made a mistake, but I've never practiced before and they haven't ever let me despite me having my own car. I woke up one morning and heard they had some friends over in the living room. Somehow I got brought up and I heard my dad say he's too old and it's not good on his heart to let me drive. My stepmom started giggling and talking about the time I almost hit his car and she wouldn't quit making it sound like I'm stupid. I just felt really humiliated and embarrassed that she just HAD to tell her friends about my mistake and make me seem like a complete idiot. I don't understand why she felt the need to tell everyone and embarrass me.

My dad hits me a lot and makes me bleed and says nasy stuff about me and spits on me. He makes me crazy in the head and I cant sleep at night. He also makes me Into a violent person. Even tho Im a really kind hearted person! I dont understand my dad? He can be the sweeteest man and do everything for me, but He also can beat the **** out of me and push me and punch me and say He can kill me? I worst part is I havent done anything wrong. I dont know if I love Him or hate him. Everybody says He loves me but how is this love when Im starting to go crazy and hate myself. I think of myself so low these days. I dont wanna become weak. He makes me a weak person

My mom died on October 31, 2002. She committed suicide by hanging herself, she was only 25 years old and I was 3 years old at the time, now I am 20 and I feel like I don't miss her or even know her, other people cry when I even talk about her but I can't cry. I don't have any memories with her, my grandmother died when I was 14 and I always cry when I think about that, but not my mom. Is this wrong?

I m an 18 year old female. I entered the university 6 months ago and since then I live in a dormitory. In the first 3 months I had huge problems with my roommates, but when I changed my room everything was solved and I felt happy. I visit my family during holidays. I ve come home 3 days ago to stay for 20 days. My parents are divorced and I m in my mother s house now. Me and my mother are sometimes friendly, but we argue most of the time. She never listens to me, while I put all my effort to talk to her about anything we have in common, she suddenly looks at her phone or get amazed by an action scene on TV and when I ask her whether she heard me or not, she says that she s busy now and she can t concentrate on what I m saying. That makes me really angry and I feel like I m nothing to her. She claims that she s proud of me and she loves me with all her heart, but in the other hand she says she doesn t want me to come home, because I just make her life feel like hell! Today she told me that I m dirty and I never tidy up my room and I said that I feel more comfortable not to tidy up my room. She said that maybe that s why my previous roommates were against me and I said that she s wrong, because I was rarely in their room and I only slept there (in the last days I was with them, I scarcely slept there. I preferred to sleep in other rooms with my friends). I told her that there are a lot of untidy girls out there and she said that I just want to be like them! I said that I was like this since I was a child and she said that I never try to change. I said I don t want to change. My brother is hundred times worse than me, but my mother never says a word against him! My father is too angry and I have my problems with him, which I can t write them all here because of the limitations.

Use of strong language, short temper, occasional impatience, addiction to hobbies, miscellaneous mistakes... these are just a few of my faults. But, not only is my family also VERY guilty of these things, sometimes They are SEVERAL NOTCHES worse than I am. My family members will outright deny any wrongdoing, even when I point it out to them, that they are making the same mistakes as me. They are as pure and infallible as fresh mountain snow, while I am the only one who receives any criticism... How do I deal with family members who are guilty of my same faults, but are never in the wrong?

My dad's demeanour is very condescending and he is very dishonest with me. When I ask him a question he nevers gives me a straight answer and likes to beat around the bush. he tries to intimidate people by staring them down. he's 61 and i'm 17. it's a very unheathly relationship and i don't know what to do. helppp. also I hate my mother. she is uneducated and nags me everyday about stupid things. she cowards infront of my dad. i think my dad takes advantage of the fact that my mother is undeucated and intimidates her so she doesn't talk back or do anything. my health has taken a toll and i've been unable to breathe though my nose for years since it's always stuffed up. i think it's due to the chronic stress i endure while living with my parents.

My father left two years ago me and my sister are both in university. My sister is aged 23 and I'm 21. The question I have is my mom is financially inept and is destroying herself. My dad was somewhat emotionally abusing I was the one who managed to stay grounded and argued with him and my mom and sister kept it in. Now fast forward my mom is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and will not listen to me to get out of this mess. Meanwhile my father is working more hours saving money and setting himself up. Sorry for the grammar Should I give up on her she will not listen...

She still tells me what to do, like she doesn't let me shower when I want, and she doesnt let me wear short sleeves when it's 67 degrees out. Like she's mad that I'm showering tomorrow and I feel gross if i don't every day. I'm 18 years old and feel trapped. My little sisters even tell me what to do. I'm still looking for a job so I can't move out. What do i do ?

on my iMac and my macbook air, the camera always turns on for no reason (the light turns on) and when i check what's using up my memory it shows a bunch of unknown files taking up GB's of memory. I also see photos of myself on my computers i didn't take, taken from the computers camera. the mouse also moves by itself and deletes stuff and my files keep getting deleted

I m turning 15 in less than a month and my parents want me to go to sleep early. How do I convince him so I can stay up and make my own bedtime.? Why do my parents tell me when to go to sleep?

I'm depressed every day and tell them I want to kill myself but instead they cry TO ME about my terrible grades without asking why I can't study. I understand they want me to have a good future but I can't if I kill myself lol They won't allow me to get professional help .That's why I'm stuck in this situation I have all A's in regular classes, a C in honors math, and 3 B's in my 3 AP Classes.

Okay so I m 15 and my dad past away and my mother was never there. I was adopted by my aunt and uncle on my mom s side but since they went to court against my granparents on my dad s side I dont think the two sides are fond of eachother. I really want to see my siblings and the part of the family I grew up loving. Im afraid to ask my adopted parents because i think they will get mad if I say anything. Also they won t let me have social media so that i cant contact anyone. If anyone could give me anything that would be amazing because I ve been struggling for quite a while with this. Thanks!

For years and years my brother was so horrible to me and I've disowned him ever since, we have no relationship. He says he loves me and always has but truthfully I don't care damage is done so my payback is letting him live with shame. My parents criticise me becuase there are times when he tried making effort for me and I'd let him know loud and clear I have no time for him by being rude and ignoring him trying to make it as obvious as possible which apparently really upsets him, My argument to my dad is that he should have thought of this when he showed him favoritism so many times and let him away with treating everyone like **** which my dad always denies but can't give examples I just want to know what does it feel like to be disowned by somebody you love and living with guilt knowing you'll never be forgiven
