My son claimed to be very depressed lately but I am pretty sure he's attention seeking. Why? Neither my wife and I have depression and neither do their grandparents. Therefore, he does not have depression.

We're both 35 years old, and my gf had a teenage pregnancy. Her husband left her after that, and she raised him on her own. For the past three years, I've dated her. 6 months ago, they moved into my home. Her son's now 17, and I like him a lot. He looks at me as a father figure, and we get along well.  His behaviour at school for the past year or so has troubled us. We just thought it was troublesome teen years. He began to swear at his mother, but since he moved into my home, I always responded to that by taking him by the arm to his room and ordering him to stay there all day. It stopped his swearing very quickly. At school on Friday, we were called to the principal's office and told he smacked a girl on the buttocks, spun her around by the neck and kissed her against her will. They suspended him for a week and said if happened again he would be expelled. We were both outraged.  I drove home, told him to call his girlfriend to our house. When she arrived, I made him stand in front of her and slapped him across the face. It was a hard slap, I could see my fingerprints on his cheek. "Explain to her why you got slapped,". I put my hand under his chin and turned his face to her as he repeated what had happened, tears streaming down his face. When he finished, I gave his face another slap, just as hard, and sent him to his room. My intention was to embarrass him in front of his gf to teach him a lesson.  Did he deserve it? After all if he was 18 police could get involved!

So i was adoppted when i was 2 years old (my parents died) and now i am 16. I really love my family. I have a women in my life that i can call mother, i have a man in my life that i can call father and i have 2 boys in my life that i can call brothers( 18 and 20 years old). I really love all of them. But i been thinking so much about this, this last weeks and its been killing me. This last weeks i been noticing the diferencies betwween me and my brothers/mother/father. They are all blonde and blue eyes and i have dark brown hair and brown eyes. And its breaking the feelings that i have for all of them because for some reason i feel im not supposed to be there. What can i do? Its normal felling this way? ( i never cared about the physical differencies) Someone help me plz.

Ok this was a poker scenario at the casino but you don't have to know poker all that well to follow what I'm saying, My Father made a bet and the option goes to the other man to accept the bet or give up, if he gives up my father wins all the money that put into the pot, the man did nnot have a chance to make any decision because the dealer reveals the last card to early, after the fact the man says he would have accepted the bet (and based on the ammount of money all ready put in by each of them, it wouldnt make any sense for him really not to) the card that was drawn would have made that man the winner but the casino decided to put it back in the deck, the card that was drawn instead was a card that made my father the winner, the odds were actually low my father could get a card to win with (about 6 of the remaining cards in the deck) but he got it and won $667 dollars. my father tells me today something about morals and hes gonna give the guy the money later, claiming that guy should have won, and I kind of disagree. My oppinion is technicalities happen in your favor and not in your favor time to time, over you're career you should come out even, they're will also be times you lose where you shouldn't have. I claim if everytime he should have won he loses money, and every time he wins on a technicality but gives the money back, he loses, and a lose lose to errors doesnt seem fair to me for him. Also with all the debt he has I don't want to see him give away $667 dollars Of the $667 dollars, both men contributed about $250 of their own money to it, the remaining coming from other players involved with the hand early.

It's kinda hard to explain...I have my dad that I grew up with and spanked me and everything Then I also have this roomate who lives in my apartment named Bcal who does the same...is he dad?

I am going through a very hard time. I've just completed my Masters Degree I recently lost my full time job and I am struggling.  My friend calls me daily to tell me how bad she feels for me and my situation. She's constantly advising me to step away from the field I got my Masters Degree in Constantly asking "what are you going to do I feel so bad for you. Sell your house just move home where your living now is not the place for you I could never live in Arkansas where you live etc."  It's starting to REALLY bother me all of the negativity and every time I talk to her I feel 1000 times worse about my situation. I'm working 2 part time jobs right now 60 hours per week at a grocery store and at a bank as a part time teller. She told me those jobs are beneath me and why would I choose to work in a grocery store in the evenings. She's constantly rubbing it in my face about all the expensive things she purchases. I honestly can't take it much more. I'm doing the best I can given my situation. Any advice on how to handle this? I'm now feeling terrible about my situation.

i've seen several questions saying she gives bad answers, and some questions saying she gives good answers, and i've also seen a couple questions about a girl named colly and about pearl being mean to her by blocking her. who is this user? and who is colly?

He/she/they keep posting questions about crazy parents, abuse, pedo/incest, and dad in shorts. Do you happen to know who they are? Do you have a screenshot of their profile or link to it? I've noticed that all the questions are anonymous. I don't know if they're all coming from the same account

I have 2 kids aged 4 and 7 and lost my husband to cancer in the summer. I work part time 2 long days a week and my in laws have always picked up the kids from school/nursery. They've gone rapidly downhill since their son died and the school my kids go to has no afternoon childcare provision. The school is their only social circle and after what we've been through, I cannot face moving them to another school. Work (public sector) are being very difficult about me finishing 2.30 as opposed to 5pm

my house is full of then and i called an exterminator but they keep coming back

I cannot afford a flight home for thanksgiving this year. My flight will be over 1000 and money is very tight. I also work full time. I explained this to my mother and she went crazy.  She told me I don't care about her or my father or the family because if I did I would have never chosen to live so far from home, she told me I ruined everyone's thanksgiving and that I'm a life ruiner. She accused me of not trying hard enough to find a flight. She told me she wants me to be cut off from the family and thanks a lot for ruining her life. My mother has sever sever bipolar and anxiety issues. She's also gone as far as to say I'm picking my 81 year old next door neighbor over my family because my intention is to have her over for a small thanksgiving meal so I won't be alone.  I can't handle speaking to my mom. She talks to me like I'm the biggest piece of sh^t on the planet and I'm this life ruiner. Does anyone have any advice? Should I just put the 1000 on my credit card for now to make her happy? The reason I'm struggling is I had to pay 20000 this year for a crumbling foundation at my home. Money is tight.

Seriously, my dad just yelled at me because he thought I was breathing in a rude way. 

1) My stepdad molested me when I was 11.  2) My mom chose to stay with him so I went to live with my dad.  3) My dad and step mother were emotionally abusive, constantly telling me how I would end up like my mother / I had a weird personality / I was abnormal, needed to be more like my siblings.  4) I entered into an abusive relationship (when they say you typically fall into the pattern of your parents, they're right) 4) I attempted suicide as an adult only to hear my dad tell me he was ashamed of me. My only support was my brother.  5) I went to the mental hospital & got better, I l left my abusive relationship. However I became lonely (no family) 4) I forgave my mother, she entered my life again, and I even forgave my step dad who also entered my life again (stupid decision) 5) After a year, my step dad told my mother that me and him were 'sexually interested in eachother' and that it was my fault. This was a disgusting delusion, literally turned my stomach when my mom told me.  6) She chose him over me again. And my entire family always sides with her choices. Except my brother.  Now here I am, in so much pain. I keep getting broken. How can I not be the problem if everyone is betraying me constantly? What is wrong? Please someone tell me I am the problem or that I can fix my life. This all feels out of my control.  Thanks for listening to my life. I appreciate your all's feedback! 

not sure what happened but i was on my 2017 27 inch iMac and when i turned it on, it sparked at me several timesand smoke came out of the top, now it's dead. not sure what to do

He normally stays in a dorm at his school, but he is staying at home for a few weeks while he completes a work study with a professional in his desired field. At any rate, I caught him earlier tonight in his room with his hands tied and a girl sitting on top of him with a knife. He had some cuts on him, but nothing bad. I've seen her with him before and she seems kinda dark and feral at times if that makes sense. I'm worried that he's hanging out with some less than reputable people, but he insists that there is nothing wrong. I said that she could stay the night, but that they had to be quieter in there. I didn't see her come in the house though and I have a Ring! What's going on with my son?

Let's say there's a group of related kids. Oldest is 18, youngest are 9-12 years old.  These kids are raised very closely, love each other, have a lot of fun, then one day the 18 year old moves away to college. He visits for holidays and summers, but that's it.  Psychologically and socially, how does this influence the younger siblings and/or cousins? Considering the older one has been their for them their whole lives and had a great influence on them, and is now suddenly moved away, how can this change an individual as they continue to grow and develop? 

Hi there! So I have really bad fatigue (I suspect CFS). By fatigue I mean, if I walk to the end of the block right now and back. I'm sleeping for the next 6 hours and I'm sore. That fatigued. Im in treatment but haven't found the cure yet and frankly I don't think there is one. So anyway, I have my kids every other weekend and I need activities I can do with my kids that aren't overly tasking on me. I'm willing to sacrifice being immobilized the next day or two for them to have a normal experience for once. My absolute limit for mild activity is 4 hours. I need something light on me but will keep us all engaged. I had a couple ideas. Like, simon says and timed races (I'm timing). They don't see me often because of my illness so when they do, sitting and watching them isn't an option because they want my attention. I need more ideas, my brain took a year to come up with just that.

My parents call me the "king of pussy". Every night at dinner my dad talks about how the only person who gets more pussy than me was him back in the day. I never use a condom. Never never never never. I love railing sLOOOOts and never using a rubber. NEVER. It is so awesome. People always pat me on the back cuz of it.

My mother already divorced him but i am thinking of putting myself up for adoption. Any other ideas?

She is a very mean person.

They are rich

for my angel to move my steering wheel in the right direction for me? www.nyrosten11.wixsite.com/massage It was a red light near collision, but we missed each other.

Im 15yrs old and live in Florida. My parents have been divorced ever since I was about 4 or something, but they have been living on and off again together for about 3 years (b/c of financial problems) this time. Everytime this happens it gets worse and worse and it almost always ends with my dad throwing my mom out of the house after about months of them fighting and belittling each other. My dad calls her things like "whore" and "homeless" and will say shes worthless and **** like that but in the next breath he'll talk to me like he's another person and everythings fine. My mom will repeat the insults back and has started to smoke more and more till she coughs. They both take the time to victimize themselves in front of me after these fights and I dont know who to believe anymore. Im scared one of them might kill the other or themselves. [Hell, as im writing this my dads threatening to call some ppl to kick her out and shes cursing him out in arabic as they go back and forth]. Our house is fairly cluttered and messy, we hardly have enough for rent, and both are filing for unemployment (and my dad is filing for bankrupcy too). Im scared, depressed, and so ******* anxious when I come home that Ive started to hold my hands up to my chest-- kinda like a t-rex or something-- I act like a different person when Im at school, happy and the class clown, but at the end of the day when im alone and waiting to get picked up my happiness fades and i realize i dont want to go. p2- There are times I forget what fight happend and what terrible things were yelled and the crying afterwards and dont remember till im home... but by then theyre like a bad dream (if that makes sense). I dont know anymore if im exagerating or if this is how it was anymore. All i know is this shouldnt be normal (right?). p3-- So my question is what would happen if i told this to a guidance counselor or called the cops, would anything happen or would i just be ****** and moved away from my friends and the ppl i care about, i have a cat-- would i be able to take her? I dont know what to do or even if its worth doing anything about, can someone please help me. Thank you

So about 3 weeks ago I brought home a kitten  because it was nearly killed by a few cars and my mom got mad even though the neighbor said he'd adopt it and she's not going to give me money for lunch or let me bring lunch until December so I basically only eat a bag of chips or some cookies a day but now she's even more mad since the kitten is my lock screen so she said I can't eat over the weekend(or at least this week and next week).  What should I do?  A bag of chips or a handful of bite sized cookies isn't much food for a 14 year old and now I can't eat at home for a week or two

My mother tries to turn everyone in my family against me , is rude nasty to me . Im 24 and I've come to realize I need to seperatr myself completely
