My brother was banned from a 13+ rated site by the admin, who runs the forum. He didn't want to accept the rules so he made countless fake accounts to bully people on it. First of all, my brother was the one who admitted his real age to strangers online. That site is required to ban little kids because they're not allowed to collect their personal info without parental consent. He participated in name-calling, saying "I hate you", threatening to hack people, threatening to beat up, etc.

Yeah... my family is ****** up.

Uncle in-law? Hm.

My daughter has autism and she's gotten bullied before. I think she is trying to get away from other teens so nothing like that happens again. It is not a proper solution to the problem though. High school will happen next fall, whether she likes it or not. I model good socials skills and the correct way to treat people. She knows that I keep the lines of communication open, so she can come to me anytime she has a problem at school or home. I thought a therapist could help her resolve any fears or conflicts she has, as well as prepare her for high school. My husband thinks it could go wrong, because the word 'therapy' has some stigma attached to it and our daughter might feel bad about herself, or think she did something wrong to have been put in therapy.

So please no mean trolling this is serious to me and personal. So my son has just turnt one and I honestly do think he hates me and it hurts me so bad. We live with my Gran and I feel like he thinks of her as his Mom. When he gets hurt he will run to her not me. When he is sad he will run to her he never comes to me for comfort and I makes me so sad. I wanted a baby for so long and I finally get one and he doesn't even realise I'm his Mother. I had depression after birth quite bad so I didn't really do a lot of bonding with him also I didn't breast feed I couldn't. I just want my son to love me and look up to me. I try hard with him I play with him feed him do what a Mom has to do but I feel like I just try to hard he's still the same with me . Barely even lets me cuddle him

Update: It is a school trip where we are supervised the whole time so I don't see why he should have to go. And how did I mess that up? I just want to go on a field trip without my dad tagging along the entire time (when I go I will be a senior )

She's willing to, but said she's never had to before. I see very got females at Wal-Mart and think my gf needs to step it up for me.

I'm mostly venting here, but I dont understand why my parents (more so my mom) does not care about my son at all, but will do absolutely anything for my nephews. My mom let's my nephews stay at her place while my brother and SIL goes on vacation and she wont even let us have a date night for 2 hrs. Just to go watch a movie. My son is turning 3 yrs old and she doesnt even know his correct age, she has thrown bday parties for all my nieces and nephews and nothing at all for mine. I just feel like cutting all contact with her. They live a few miles away from us while my nephews are over 40miles away, she visits them every week while never visiting my son unless we go over there, but even that's rare. Back when I told my parents the news being pregnant, my mom was pretty mean about it, unlike how most parents would be happy to hear the news, she was shocked and said she's too old to watch my kid, but then at that the same time she wasnt too old to watch my nephews.

I am 16 years old, I live with my younger brother (10), my mom, and my step father. All three of them are absolute SLOBS, and I am a self proclaimed neat freak. I understand it isn't easy to be totally clean and organized if it isn't in your nature, but my family seems to be next level vile. Borderline hoarders! My room is always pristine, while the common spaces and other bedrooms... not so much. As a person who can't function in messy spaces (I don't have OCD, I just like to be organized), I find myself cleaning up their messes on the daily. But the next day, the house is filthy again. Even though I have talked to them multiple times about this issue, they always clutter up the space with their items/dirty dishes anyway. What can I do to solve this issue? It feels like all I ever do anymore is clean. I want to stop and let them learn their lesson without me as a "maid", but then the house will be a pigsty!!

Hi! I am a single mom to a 6 year old. My Dad died last month, 3.5 years after my family pressured and encouraged all of us to move up North. He was barely laid to rest before my grandma started nipping at our heals about selling the houses. The want to move somewhere 14 hours away from our current home. My grandma has picked where we are going to live, which cities she thinks I should live on. They do not respect my boundaries at all. The buy my son tons and tons of stuff (think 50+ presents on every. single. occasion.) It is out of control. I am 28 and most of my life has been about helping my family. They are hoarders, and I have been moving and shoving boxes my whole life. I don't want to live 14 hours away from them... but, I need my space. I was thinking about moving to a "half-way point". Where I am 4 hours from them, 10 hours from my sister, and 10 hours from my friends and family where I currently live. They are going to flip out. My grandma is suppppper controlling and they are going to try to manipulate and guilt me into not doing this. Am I crazy for needing my space? I CANNOT live in the same city as them. Thoughts? Sorry for some of the typos. Yay autocorrect. But seriously, I am being buried alive by their belongings. We have 5 yard sales a summer. I hardly have a life. I need freedom. Badly. So maybe 4 hours away is a little extreme. You all make excellent and valid points. I will be looking at places 1-2 hours away. I found one booming city 1.75 hours from where they want to move, 9 from my sister, and 11 from my friends. It sounds doable, still allows us to have a close relationship with my family, but also allows for me to live a separated life. I have seen several therapists in my life and they ALL say I need separation. Hi, I do have my own place, and I am financially stable-ish. I feel I could do it on my own. Really my main dependence on them lays in the occasional childcare. But, that can be handled. I do not depend on them financially.

Could serve me well in the profession. I am only worried about a relative stumbling across my work. I can't not show my face because I have the "innocent" look which is what really drives a lot of tips and if I don't show my face guys won't see that. Should I tell them ahead of tine or just hope that they don't find out?

when i was a kid my mom used to yell at me and they fought on stupid things with my dad . later i got computer and ect my mom told me to do my homework but i always wanted to play online games like addict . now i am more than 20 year . i have noticed my dad and mom treat me good and my dad talks polite whith me and ect. my smaller sister is good and things we never faught . she said she liked me cause im kind .why they were like this first and now they act like theyr afraid of me . i am harmless

My family is so cruel and I stay away..it is lonely though.

Karen is passionate about art and wants to go to art school; she applies to the college, starts packing her bags, and plans it all out. Her family is in the middle class and they can afford to send her off, but they're obviously no Exited about the price... Her great uncle, who is a businessman, offers to pay for her entire college tuition- if she becomes a business major. Her parents are extremely happy for her, and although Karen is greatful and appreciates what her great uncle is offering her, it's not what she wants to peruse. Her great uncle becomes mad and upset that she isn't greatful for his offer and is declining. Lo and behold, her tuittion is already paid for and her college plans are set. How is she supposed to feel and what is she supposed to do in this situation. (I know there are some plot holes in this example, but don't take it too seriously, the emotional situation is there)

I just had a baby 2 months ago my mom was nice to let me stay with her until I found an apartment. The thing is she's saying if I leave she will call children's aid society to say I run away with my baby and he's in danger with me. Can she really do it??

I am planning on moving out of my parents house when I am 18 due to family dynamics. My mom can be very manipulative and hurtful and therefore that makes me intimidated by her. I am moving out with my boyfriend, who is in the military. He has housing, health insurance, and a well paying job. The only thing I don't know how to get past is my mom. How do I get all my paper work to her if she doesn't give it to me? What else do I need to figure out? And also I don't think I will be staying with him all the time, just on the weekends and the weekdays I'll be at school. Help! Forgot to mention my boyfriend and I are also planning on getting engaged and then married. He also is not newly enlisted he is able to get a house off base and is given a BAH. I am not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon haha. Also I am not living with him 24/7, I am just going to school near him or possibly taking a gap year. Ill just be staying with him on weekends that's all. I also have a well paying job myself that can be transferred to where I'm moving. I'll stay in dorm if he goes

I have a pretty basic surgery coming up and I'm literally loosing sleep over it. Im not so much nervous about the surgery as I am about getting put to sleep. My friends dad recently passed away because something when wrong when they put him to sleep for a surgery and he had a bad reaction or something. I already spoke to my parents and they basically brushed it of and said its not that common and try not to think about it. I also asked the doctor what I had to do to cancel the surgery all together and she said I couldnt, that it was up to my parents. I'm really freaking out about being put to sleep (I had a panic attack when we got home after my last dr visiit) and I read online that being sedated is dangerous and some people can die from it. They went to draw blood last time and from a moment I imagined they were trying to sedate me and almost jumped out of the seat. My dad was pretty angry and told me to man up and stop acting like a girl but I really thought for a split second they were. How do I get over this fear, im dreading the day of the surgery and everyone is just telling get over it and/or i cant do anything about it. I'm 15 by the way. What can I do to get over this fear, its ruining my life.

Don't be desperate and say "walking round topless" or cloud coo-coo land aka sharia law. I want a crime in western society where women on average spend significantly longer in prison than men.

What are traits that a toxic parent has? Okay so my mom is the root of my anxieties and depression and I just started realizing that recently. I'm barely allowed to leave the house, she throws around threats and insults a lot, she is forcing me to go to college near by so she can control me. She watches what I eat so I don't eat to much and she still makes me turn in my phone at night even though I bought it. I'm a decent kid I get good grades and have 700hrs of volunteerism. I just don't know if she is toxic or I'm overreacting.

I remember when I was around 6-7, my brother who is 9 years older than me came to the room while I was sleeping and attempted to like remove my clothing? I remember trying really hard not to open my eyes because I was worried it would make everything awkward, and I remember him trying to open my mouth so he could pee in it it. this only happened once and I haven't thought about it much, but now since I have grown I have become very afraid of sexual touch. So was this sexual abuse?

My mom went through my phone and (like any parent who goes through their childs phone) got mad when she saw that I am talking to a coworker (they are very big on meeting guys I am talking to but I was unsure how successful dating would be so I was holding off on introducing him) now my parents have deleted everything off my phone& are making me quit my job along with being grounded. I pay for college education entirely on my own along with my car &my insurance& any utilities I use. I am in love with where I work and I don't feel my parents realize that I am 18 and it is wrong to be so controlling. I don't want to live in an environment where my feelings aren't considered On one end I get that my mom doesn't like that I work at a bar till 3 in the morning sometimes& the guy im talking to is 4 years older (working there as well) she found out that sometimes we sit for a while after work & went crazy that she had no idea& said I destroyed her trust but at the same time I am a full time student, I don't drink or do drugs, I am fully responsible with balancing my life, I am always respectful& helpful around the house, and just wanted to be sure of my decision before telling her but now I don't know what to do. when I try and bring up moving out they say its out of the question but I don't want to relent and just allow them to control where im working and who I am talking to? is what im feeling valid or should I just trust in them and move on (with life and a new job/ new people)

At my kids' school, they aren't really allowed to play with students who are more than 1 year apart from their own age. Some reasons are safety reasons, such as older kids usually being physically bigger and will accidentally run over a little kid. Another reason is the argument that children are generally at different maturity and developmental stages. Unless the kid has special needs or wasn't "raised well" by parents, a 6 year old is usually less mature than a 15 year old. For me, I see no big deal with letting my kids hang out with different ages. I grew up in a small town and everybody played together.However, my children are growing up in the big city and it's different here. Age segregation is more common compared to small towns.

I strongly believe that family always comes first. My youngest son who is 19 was complaining to me because our 23 year old son apparently cannot go anywhere without his girlfriend and even when our two sons are trying to have quality time together he is always texting her. He was disappointed to find that his brother dragged his girlfriend alongside to the movies with him. I told my 23 year old " listen son try to have one on one time with your brother and just brotherly bonding." he is obsessed with that girl, and our 19 yr old said he is whipped. they should be out of that honey mage phase they've been together for 5 years now plus they live together now.

Our family moved to a new state 2 years ago. At first, I thought my daughter would eventually adapt but it still isn't happening. It is causing conflicts with her peers at school, and she can barely make friends here. Unless another kid from our homeland moves here, she'll be struggling forever. Social norms are very different here, compared to our old state. People have different expectations and different ways of living. Disclaimer: I did not reveal what states I'm talking about for privacy reasons.

I'm 15 years old and I weigh 300 lbs, I was raised on things like McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc. My parents have never cooked before, they do occasionally buy fruit from the store but it goes rotten quickly. I'm sick of McDonalds, never want to eat there again. It's always the same thing, a 20 piece chicken nugget, a cheese burger, and a large fry. Not even kidding. I wish to lose weight, I have been trying to exercise but I don't even have the energy for that, I get tired easily. I want to lose at least 150 lbs, I just want to be healthier than what I am right now. I try to drink a lot of water but it doesn't help. What should I do? my whole family Is overweight and it's becoming a problem. Is there anyway to make McDonalds healthy? lol. That's literally all we really eat.

He married her and had 2 kids and now she is ruining my brothers, my parents, friends, and ultimately mine. She is always nice when I around her during the holidays, but when my brother comes around to hang with the fam without her he just constantly complain about her toxicity and accusations. It is obvious she has many of her own because she has 2 kids from a previous marriage that my brother has to look over. They are nice, but spoiled as hell, I mean sppppppooiled. Anyways, my brothers has told how crazy she allows herself to get when he is under pressure from work. She will not give an inch, and must have her way or it is the highway. She threatens divorce when he goes out to visit my dad, and thinks my dad feeds him pills and encourage ours is drinking, when she hardly drinks at all. He obviously married her for her looks, but when that dries up she just has evolved into a toxic ***** that is ruining my families happiness. How do I, as a brother cope or deal with this succubus. I should recommend marriage counseling, but they won't go. She is just straight up evil sounding to me. There is no air around her and it is sucking up my air in my life. What should I do?

If your parents are paying for your school then yeah that would make total sense. But I'm getting a mostly full ride with some loans so i don't quite understand why this subject always causes tension with my family, especially my dad. Maybe its because he didn't finish college and just wants better for me, or that he's getting older and is worried I'll end up flipping burgers with a bachelors degree cause my GPA is 2.7. I hope he doesn't think I'll put him in a home. I'm thinking its fears associated w getting old but if i ask i won't get a direct answer. at the end of every term I either tell him what it is and prepare for some sort of hurt sometime down the road or I say I forgot and deflect until its brought up a week later. Either way I'm psychologically exposed and vulnerable no matter what answer i give him. I already know financial aid id dependent on grade. plz don't answer anything that's already common sense. the question isn't about my grade, *******the central focal point of the question is my relationship with my dad.**********

I raised you ever since you were born. And yeah, it was tough. Sometimes I didn't want to do it. And I'm sorry work took my away from you and your mommy all those years. I know I wasn't the best dad. But I did what I could. Even when I didn't feel like it. Cause, yeah, being a parent is tough business. Most parents fail and their kids wind up dead or on drugs. I think I did pretty good all told. Just gotta keep trying. I know you were trying to get pregnant a couple months ago, and that's why your mommy and you are trying to keep me out of your life, behind closed doors. I will be in your life. I GAVE you life. I still give you life. I am a father, and I know it takes to parents to have a kid, but these days it takes only one parent. All you need is one strong parent. You can always rely on me, cause no matter what, I always see things through. That's what people always say about me. And one day, I know you'll say that too. I give you: LIFE!

Hello. I have been dealing with this situation for years. I know that as a son, I am supposed to be my best and try my hardest. However, lately my mom has been getting set off and mad at me for the littlest things. Examples include asking "stupid" questions, not putting a plate in the right spot in the dishwasher, and saying things that she doesn't like, which I don't know. It's very frustrating for me to have to live like this, in a state of "please her, or she'll get mad and the day will turn bad". If anyone has some knowledge about how to deal with this situation that would be great. Thanks. I'm 16 years old, and I have a vision impairment. I'm missing out on driving, which is big these days. EVERYONE has their licenses now and it's really so depressing to rely on others. I also have no social life and spend weekends working on homework all day, making it immensely worse. I am trying to do as much as I can. I do my own laundry and make my bed. I also help when we're getting ready for school in the morning (packing lunch and getting ready in a resonabas time. I forgot to say that there is probably some favoritism going on as well. He gets to sit and play videogames, play with his friends, but meanwhile, my mom asks me what I'm doing all the time, and I feel I need to stay up until 1:30 on the weekends just to enjoy some personal time. My father is here sometimes, but is mean to my mom some days. He's also really hyper and sometimes gets really angry if something sets him off. My mom is really nice, but her mood can tend to turn in a split second if something happens. I really do try to make her happy. Although I don't want to love to please anyone, I do show her how much I love her and do things for her as well. I think it's just the inevibility of a day turning bad that makes me feel this way about everything.

My mother divorced my stepdad of 6 years in 2016, shortly after on my birthday she revealed she was already dating another man. At the time she was 30 and he was 41. On the exact same week, she agreed to joint custody agreements with my dad. Two years in, my mom married the man I met on my birthday and whenever I screwed up she always said "You only act like this because you go to your dad s. You were never like this before." Personally, I don t like my new stepdad. He s said, down to the letter, "if you want your kids to behave, you have to spank them to where it s almost child abuse. Not quite, but just barely not." He s also said "You have to do every thing for them because they re too stupid to do things on their own." Neither of them trust me, they don t let me do anything, or see any of my friends. They threaten to take full custody and take away my freedom, and only place to not be treated like crap. I ve tried to get them to give my dad full custody, and my stepdad always says "just let him do it. I m tired of him anyway." But my mom refuses to. They firmly believe seeing my dad is the reason I act out. They haven t considered any other options. So how do I approach them about it, how do I change their mind, and are there any other potential causes you can think of? I need some help.

My mom did some stuff to my husband that we both feel was very wrong of her. So we have not talked to her in a little over a year. Now she says that she will be taking us to court to see our two kids that she had only seen a few times before we had quit talking to her. Can a court really make us let the kids go over there and see her when we don't even have anything to do with her?

-I support our mom and I do a good job at it and I also have a good paying job. -She tells people that I am verbally and physically abusive to our mom and I am a "crazy cat person" (I have 2 stray cats I rescued). -I used to be a firefighter but I quit during the recession for a logistics job that paid the same and had more job security, she tells people I am a failed/disgraced firefighter and our mom supports me. -My best friend died of cancer 2 years ago and when everybody on my Facebook expressed their condolences she attacked me the day after my friend died, saying that I think the world is about me and I am a loser and a low life and just because I volunteer at a food bank does not make me a good person. What strikes me as odd is she did that out of the blue. -She's always bouncing marriages and then moving into big houses then divorcing and moving into another big house. -Her most recent marriage was on my birthday. It's honestly no big deal to me but my birthday was on a Monday and she was very passionate about getting married on my birthdate. When no one attended her wedding because it was on a Monday and they had to work she acted offended and outraged. -I'm simply just living my life and it's almost like she hates me with such a dark passion that anything I do or say she has to ridicule, criticize and insult. -Is my sister evil?

Hello, everyone.. As embarrasing as this is, i must try. I'm currently in jeopardy of losing my house and becoming homeless. I lost a job that i worked my butt off for since the very beginning and i was being overworked, i was exhausted and when i told them i was tired they fired me. I tried getting unemployment and they lied and said that i walked out and quit so i couldn't get unemployment. My rent is going to be due soon and i have no idea what I'm going to do. If i get evicted i won't have anywhere to go. I've prayed and I've prayed and i know God will make a way. If you could please pray for me that everything will be okay that would mean so much to me! If anyone would like to donate to me my cash app is @IamTaylorVee2, i am truly grateful for anything. p.s i have also tried looking for work and they called my last job to get a reference and my last job lied to them telling them how terrible of a person i am.

My mom smacked my brother because he smartmouthed and disobeyed her. He called CPS and they took him away for a short while. My mom says it's discipline, that spending a few days in foster care will make him face reality and realize that he misses his own family. For clarification, they didn't take me away because I'm already 18 years old. I know it's probably a cultural and generational thing. My mom grew up in a family where they used physical force to "discipline" their kids. She has at least 2 other friends whose kids also got involved with CPS at some point in their lives. Those friends told her that their kids were more grateful and better behaved once they came home from foster care, making my mom think it'll be the same with my brother

https://www.quora.com/Whom-do-I-choose-between-my-parents-and-my-girlfriend I'm reading the above for my own personal conflict between keeping my girlfriend happy vs my parents view of "how traditional male/female relationships are supposed to work. So many of the above answers say "Think about your parents unconditional love, they will never leave you, girlfriends' come and go etc... But I'm thinking ...isn't that selfish on the parents' part ? They have already married and enjoyed the fruits of married life ....the adult child is the fruit of their marriage... Trying to NOW frustrate the adult child out of his own relationships IS SELFISH ! How is splitting from my girl to honor my parents any good for me ? So many of the answers say "girlfriends come and go" ...but parent's love is forever WELL THERE HAS TO BE A GIRLFRIEND FIRST BEFORE THERE IS A WIFE AND CHILDREN !!!! Well what the F***k how would my Dad have liked it if when he was dating Mom...all of his family went against him and told him she was just a girlfriend ????? I wouldn't exist ..that's what. I'm not a teenager in his first rodeo. Im 28 f**cking yrs old....now that I have expressed interest in marrying they should be cheering me along !!! I have been dating this woman for 9 yrs ...

When my family was on holidays I made a photo frame with me and my upstairs family friend kids from outings that we have done and when they came home she looked at the frame and just walked away I sent her a text message and asked her if the photo frame was okay and she replied with I guess what does that mean she has a issue with it?

Hi so anyway I'm pretty sure my cousin has a crush on me. My female cousin. I'm a guy so I guess that's pretty normal but I think it's kinda weird. I'm an adult man and shes a 9 year old girl. I dont really know what to do about it????? At parties, she follows me around wanting to touch my arm and play with my hair. She gives me lots of hugs and she brings me lots of candy. When it comes time to find a seat, I dont have to worry cuz she saves us seats together. It feels like every time I go to a party, I always see her little smiling face looking at me. I have always been into magic and I suck at it and she knows that but shes always saying "you're such a good magician! Can you do more magic? Just for me?". She buys me little presents and invites me to go hang out with her. Just me, and her. Shes a nice little girl, but she overdoes her attention and shes my NINE year old cousin! How do I get her to understand that I cant be her boyfriend. I like hangin' out with her but not in that way.
