I'm a girl and when I was younger, maybe about 5-7 years old, my brother who is 5 years older than me, would invite me into his room and he would tell me to get on top of him(we both had clothes on), and grind on his lap, and he would get hard too(gross). He would also have me kiss him, it was never lip to lip, we'd tuck our lips in and then "kiss". I feel so grossed out and ashamed by this part, but I remember at one point, I asked him if we could do that and I'm wondering since I "liked" it, does that mean I was no longer molested?? Thinking about it now I feel disturbed that I ever "liked" what he did, even though I was kid and didn't really know what was going on, the thought is just horrible. It makes me want to vomit. It also turned me into a hyper sexual person.

My older child decided to move to Canada a few years after he graduated college. My second and youngest child just graduated and is moving to China to teach English. I don't feel great about all my children being in other countries.

My 8 year old son is plent capable of bathing himself and fairly independent. Yet, my husband or myself ask him to see his penis to make sure he is cleaning it well every once in a while. We do explain our reason for asking to see it and he does understand. Yet, how old is too old for a mother to check her son's penis for that reason?

I had to struggle with my weight and mom use to taunt me, I'm 20 now and I still have issues even if I'm underweight. I'm doing well in college but one of my friend got married and the other finished college. I'm jealous because I'm ashamed of myself my friends are accomplishing on their lives and I'm still struggling with my self image because I use to be overweight and my mom use to taunt me about it

My mother I like but she has paranoia about social media. She says she blocked all her children but I know that is BS as my sister has her on there, or at least did. My mother fears me cause I am good to the family members my Mom hates. I return the hate by hating this sister of mine who is a toxic person.

It has been 12 years since he died and we see her family again but those who remained close during the drinking get together so much more often then my Mom and I join in. They don't ask us as they know my mother is not interested. My cousins are all friends but they are not friends with me as they do not know me real well. My mother broke ties with her father cause his drinking was so upsetting to her. She did not allow me to any activities he was at and so until he died in 2006 we were very distant. Since then we join in occasionally but not a lot. We get overlooked. How do I fix this damage? I want to be close to them. I never knew my father so my Mom's side of the family is all I have. I was close to my grandmother, my Mom's mother, and she died last year. Now I want to reconnect with my late grandfather's family. They are my Mom's half-siblings as they had a different mother but the same father. I want a family outside of just Mom. How do I fix the damage of the alcoholism and my mother's reaction to it? I am the collateral damage from it and I want to heal this.

Did rapinoe find a cure for cancer? she acts like she did , what a camera hog and a ham! big fricking deal they won a soccer game do they get paid for that crap I guess that's all they can do they have no other skill or trade

Mom gets drunk and verbally abuses the kids every weekend. Children range from 1 to 26 and are free to fight verbally and physically sometimes with massive size differences. Once, a door and a phone was shattered. Child with bone deformities in a wheelchair, a child with severe depression and eating disorders, a crazy child and 2 year old left home alone to be cared for by other children. Theres about 14 kids in the house. A few other boys are constantly over there too. Mom got so drunk she thought my sister was one of her kids and told her to get the f uck away from her. Mother spent over 100 on alcholic drinks in one day. The father isnt home enough to deal with the family. He has to take care of the animals too. They have aggressive large dogs which roam the neighborhood that i saw chase down an adult man. Their litter box was full of **** and they have a filthy leaking fishtank on the kitchen counter with 70 goldfish in it. I once saw the children get into a giant fight over pizza despite there being four pizzas and a big box of chicken. Kids also fought over 4 dollars on the ground. One girl said she doesnt want her siblings to be taken away dont tell anyone. And they could be getting raped or physically abused. Do you think theyre doing it for money?

My married sister has recently given birth to a beautiful baby girl who is coming up to 2 months now. Although being similar in age with my sister, I am unmarried and have no children. My sister always has a point of telling me that I have to get married soon and have a baby as my clock is ticking, I am 35. She appears more concerned and unhappy about my life, more than I am ( based on what she says to me). Yes I want kids but I'm not panicking because of it. Whenever I hug my niece or when me and my sister argue, she tells me I need to get my own baby. Today we argued over something minor and she told me not to come near her baby. I just find it cruel that she is using her baby as a comeback. Don't know how to deal with her as I obviously love my niece but at the the same time not fair I have to put up with her constant criticism. Yes she has it all, a family and a baby, so why does she feel the need to use that against me.

So I'm 15 and my brother is 18 and whenever we go to family trips my parents get 2 rooms and I have to share a bed with my brother and I of course feel uncomfortable and I even talked to them about it but they say, "ohh it's just your brother" but that doesn't help. Do you think it's appropriate for us to share a bed? Especially now that we both are teenagers? And how do I convince them? They always wanna save money so they only take 2 rooms. I didn't want to add this but he did try to rape me many years ago when we both were young. I was 6-7, he was 9-10 and we both shared a room back then in the house. I never told anyone about this before and we pretended it never happened and we never brought that up again. (I guess he is emberassed) but that's the main reason why I feel so uncomfortable. But I can never tell my parents about that. I don't even feel comfortable sharing it online.

I am currently 19 years old and I attend college near by. My mom and my step dad has been together ever since I was 5 years old. When I turned 6, my mom and my step dad had a child (which makes it my step bro). Ever since then my step has been extremely nice to my step brother. When I was around 12, I forgot that I left something on the table so I quietly said "oh what is this doing here?" He immediately started yelling at me saying I'm trying to mimick people with special needs and I'm talking to myself. He then takes my room door off and grounded me for like 3 months and now (till this day) I have a room with no door. He will never allow me to drive or get my license and if I ever was to get a license or drive, I'd be kicked out of the house. Another thing my step does is, he connected my phone to his iPad so he reads every single message I have with my friends. He also has my phone tracked so he knows everywhere I go. And in order to go out, (even work) I have to call him or tell him to let him know. I recently went out with my uncle (my steps brother) and he found out I was out on his tracking app and when I got home, he screamed at me. I really want to leave however, I am going to college and I don't have enough money to pay for college while paying for rent. Especially because the state I live is extremely expensive. I talk to my mom about how much I dislike him but her answer is "be smarter".Please please help.. idk if there is a way...

My biological dad was never present in my life, and has never decided to want to be part of it. My mom got pregnant with me, and my biological dad decided that he wasnt ready to have kids(even tho he was 25). Leaving my mom 27 year old and pregnant. My mom marry like 2 years later, and the man that she marry which is the only person that I consider my true father, regardless that we don't share the same blood, he is the only father figure that I have ever known in my life. Even though my mom told me at a very young age that he wasn't my "blood parent" I still didn't care. My mom would sometimes take me to see my biological parent like at 5(so i dont really remember) and his side of the family, I remember my grandfather(biological) vaguely and how he would always give me money and take me to the store. That's all I remember of him, and sometimes how my biological father would show gestures of affection like "patting my head" like you do to a little kid(I was). I honestly don't want to have anything to do with my father, and anything resembling him. He didn't care about me and I dont see how I should care about him. Maybe one day I would forgive him, but it would be for me, so I dont have resentment in my heart. My mother told me that I should at least get to know his family, she says that they don't have anything to do with the actions that my biological father did. I dont know what to do, I mean its not like if they care, because if they did wouldnt they have reached out?

My mom bought our family a vacation home a few years ago. The vacation home happens to be a couple of hours from where my brother lives and he spends about one weekend a month there. My sister and I visit maybe once a year. It's basically wound up being sort of a second home for my brother and his family, even though that wasn't the original intention. My mother is now requesting that each of us (my brother, sister, and I) contribute an equal amount of funds each month toward the house to pay for repairs, pool cleaner, etc. I'm curious to know people's thoughts on if this is a "fair" request, given how things have worked out. I have mixed feelings; I know the home was purchased for all of us and I could spend more time there if I wanted. But whereas I have to spend several hundred $ to fly there, my brother can get there essentially for free, other than gas money. Plus he and his family spend a lot of time at the house.

I am a 22 year old deadbeat. I recently graduated college and I'm unemployed living with my parents. I've got a large argument with my father. It was so far downloading music for CDs for my 2007 mustang. this was not the first and probably will not be the last big argument will have. What can I do so he doesn't abandon me out of self-interest (humans only love themselves) oh by the way the confessions won't let me post this oh yeah

We signed 1 year lease, after that month by month. When I rent the unit everything included. I have been 1yr &4 months that place, my landlady once told me not to use double rinse for washing, another time, she open the dryer and pulled out my plush blanket and asked me not to wash bc it will break machine. I was upset and told her I washed blanket one every two months and have never break any machine, and I refused to do outside and tell her not to touch my things. Another time she said not to wash any thing related to my cat. I do laundry once a week for one wash only except blanket wash once every two or three months. Finally, yesterday she told me her husband who had cancer got infection from cat and not to do any laundry at home at all. I don't know it is true or not but I immediately reply her ok since this is about health. But I request to gave me discount. She said discount $50 every month. I don't think it is fair so I request $200 or $300 discount but she rudely refused and said u can move anytime. My regular rent is$1500 in-law studio. She said that is enough for laundry and can't compensate my time any inconvenience. According to agreement they allowed me to wash and it was included, I was helping them and I didn't want to argue so I agreed to wash outside, but I feel really upset. Are they right? Or are they bullying me? Is it normal and am I supposed to just accept that?I am sorry I just frustrated and don't know what to do.

I'm having a hard time understanding my family tree. So my mom has a uncle. My moms uncle and my gradma (my moms mom) are siblings. So does this make my mom uncle my great uncle? And he has kids so are they my 2nd or 3rd cousins

My sister has an eleven year old daughter and my brother used to be very polite. She's tried annoying him recently by blocking him when he tries to walk somewhere or standing in his way. In the past, he's asked her politely to step to the side, but now whenever she purposely gets in his way, he continues walking forward and doesn't even acknowledge she's there. She either finds herself getting pushed out of the way or is shoved back repeatedly until she tries to stop blocking him. I've confronted my brother about this and pointed out it's impolite, but he always shrugs and claims he hasn't done anything wrong.

My parents are not together anymore and asking me to pick who to live with. I dont know what do to. My mom makes fun of me, but all my friends live in her state, and my dad is really nice and cares about me alot but has really bad anger issues

This joey has been visiting our backyard for about a month now and I'm about tired of it. My son is never able to go outside because he is too afraid of it. Now he spends all of his time on one of those new gameing consoles, he really needs some fresh air.

I think I should do the things that I would want in an uncle at my nephews and nieces age. buy them stuff, take them to fun places, sign their tests when they get bad grades and not tell their parents.

-She has treated me and my mom like crap since the day I was born. -She has a good job but every time she sets foot in my home she'll steal something. Be it a vacuum, family heirloom, pictures or money. -I had a birthday card in my mailbox once, she stole it and forged my signature to cash the check in the card. -She always insults family, she always has drama with friends or co workers and the things she says never add up. -She condemns people for not acting Christian but she's extremely emotionally, verbally and psychologically abusive. -I had to block her on Facebook and I blocked her number from my phone about 2 years ago because sometimes she'll say horribly vicious things to me and it takes months for me to recover. -I support our mother and my sister is offended that I won't allow her to know where we live nor have spare keys to my home. -Was I right to cut her out of my life?

My parents and I live directly next door to my grandparents who own a pond. I have 2 guy friends down the street who we allow to fish in. Every time they are over fishing both of my parents always stand out on the deck staring and talk about going down there but how do I nicely tell them to leave them alone and let them fish. I just feel bad for my friends and don't want my parents breathing down their necks making it awkward. Idk if i'm just being paranoid for no reason or what.

I know that commonly older siblings give wedgies and getting them is kinda nerdy but does getting daily wedgies from my younger sister make me a nerd?

Hi i have an older sister who is 16 and i have a feeling she dislikes me so much and it makes me so upset :( All the time when i try to talk to her she gives me rude responses or she shouts at me and this has been going on for many years and ive never had a proper conversation with her before because she always is angry for no reason..Today I asked her for help on my new phone because i didnt know how to use it because this is my first ever phone and she yelled at me saying " Go away and go learn yourself " and she kissed her teeth... She is always verbally abusive like this even when i am being nice to her..I even sat on her bed for a few seconds to ask for help and she shouted " GET OFF MY BED " :( I hate it i only bond with my younger brother

Growing up, I was made to believe that my father was absent by choice, but in fact, my mother played a part in keeping him away. My mom bullied me heavily growing up, and I was also neglected emotionally. I also remember her bashing my dad at every chance. Last week, when asked by my dad to have a sit down discussion to heal from the past and rekindle relationships, my mom declined. What I'm wondering now is, should I have a sit down with my mother about my childhood? I will be devastated if I find out she has lied to me my whole life. Thank you.

I'm in high school & I want to major in music with piano, I love it with all my heart and I practice at the very very minimum an hour a day (once in a while I take a rest day.) I've earned scholarships to music camps, most recently a full scholarship to a jazz summer camp with piano. But despite this my parents (mostly mom) at least once a day will complain about how they "never see me practicing piano" and worry about how I'll get into a good college or how I'll get scholarships to college. I try to not need their validation but after years it's discouraging to not have the hard work I do appreciated. I'm sure they know I practice piano because I do a lot & they live with me so it's not like they don't know. I just don't understand why they keep saying it, & all I can do is ignore them or they yell & argue at me. I don't know how to talk to my mom because she just gets mad. Any advice?

My mother has softened but she was mean to family when I was a kid. My father enabled her grudge holding addiction.
