So, my dad keeps throwing his trash around the front yard of the house. This is not small trash, this is the accumulation of a weeks worth of trash. He usually throws it behind some plants in order to hide it. We have asked him to throw it away in the trashcan located right next to his truck. He doesn't listen and does it on purpose. What should I do? I could go to and tell the landlord, but he will probably end up kicking all of us out. We can't really find another place in a short amount of time, specially during this time. 

My brother is 12 and he cannot go a moment silent. He talks endlessly, and when he can't, he'll make noises,sing or make sounds with his body/what he has around him. This never stops and he is so loud when he creates sound. I'm so tired of it. His voice is terrible. He can't even conduct himself in public. He has no mental or physical conditions of any kind. How do I get him to stop?

have problems, my bf said his dad got nude photo of me on his phone, I don't feel happy at all about it, his dad says he will now take his truck away , now we don't have ride, cant do anything. Now my bf texted me he can have truck back if I let his dad look at me nude for 15 minutes, no sex. will it last longer than 15 minutes? I don't want to lose my bf and rides to stores for my family. no sex he promised, just look at me.

I don't want to leave my mom in debt, I want to take out a big loan and just give it to them in cash, I'm already in debt as it is, I want to make sure my mom benefits from it. I plan to sell all my possessions and leave her with whatever cash i take out from my credit card loans and maybe other loans if possible, since apparently people can't inherit debts from someone who dies. But I don't know if that changes after deliberately giving her cash money from my loans and etc. So is this possible, or would I leave her in debt? By family i just mean my mom, sorry for the confusion

Next week my father will be travelling home from Iraq as that is where he works. We live in the uk. He has to self quarantine for 2 weeks does that mean myself, my mother and brother will also have to self quarantine as well or is it just my father ?

My cousin does this in real life and interrogates me to find out if I was drinking too much or going out with a guy he thinks is trouble...I should stop talking to this cousin, right? Why would I have this dream? I hate how he has to judge me and tell me that's bad etc..is this controlling? I was also clinging on trees the other day and he got mad at me about something stupid about that. WTF?! Meant climbing trees and wtf that's gross he doesn't have the hots I think he is just controlling & I'm trying to stop talking to him

I am an adult living on my own. When I was a child he was not like this. I think I am way too dependent on him for emotional sympathy which he is unwilling or incapable of showing.

I know I cannot hate anyone in the family but is it okay we all dislike this sister? She abuses our parents though they allow it.

I'm the only son who helps her! What should I do? And what do you guys think?

I hate this! My mom always loved her more than me despite her having autistic like traits! She always taught her the traditional way if things and how to be a good and polite woman. What makes me mad is that why she who is possibly autistic has a nice paying job and even is in a serious relationship! While me a perfectly healthy neurotypical person have a crappy job and am still a virgin at the age of 20! It's clear that my mother blessed her and favoured her more than me. My mom cursed me and that's why i have a shitty life! And why does everyone tell me that I'm rude or disrespectful mean *****! I'm not! Why is an autistic freak like her allowed to have a good life and me not.

I am an adult living with my parents after they insisted they needed me to pay their mortgage.  Now I can't leave the house at all without my mom accusing me of lying about where I am going, and then either crying or giving me the silent treatment.  She just grilled me on details of next weeks camping trip with my boyfriend, and I repeatedly told her we don't have a destination yet so there are no details to tell. She is now refusing to talk to me.   An example of how controlling my mom is: my last camping trip With my friends she drove 3 hours to inspect our campsite.  She brought with her 5 full bags of groceries, despite us having our own food.   She also has been known to call people from work because she was worried about me walking a half mile by myself in a well populated area.  I never asked for help but she made it sound like it was an emergency. I need to leave for the weekend.  She is constantly looking over my shoulder, and takes over any task I try and do. She homeschooled me when I moved out had been trying to spend half the Nights every week over at my apartment.  I need space but she gets so destructive when upset idk what to do.  

It's frustrating because she'll get angry before she hears the full story or if something happens, it's incredibly difficult to convince her there are other possible solutions other than the one she thinks. She jumps into conclusion and she is too intense and I get so frustrated with her, i sometimes wish she is dead. It's almost like trying to reason with flat eathers

So I'm 15yrs old female...my dad passed away when I was little,so it's just my mum,my older brother who is 26yrs old and I...my brother was always there for me...he kind off act like a dad...he make sure I do my homework (he's a teacher at another school)he help me with a lot of things,he even teach me discipline,he doesn't discipline me physically,he is just really strict when it comes to homework and respect for elders.Today I accidentally told to him to shut up,then I apologise,he told me its okay with a smile but then he said if I ever talk to him like that again he's gonna whip my feet exactly like the movie we watched.I knew that he was just joking but i still feel extremely scared of him and he noticed that.He asked me what was wrong but I didn't dare to tell him...i hadn't even eat and he told me he's worried about me and if something's wrong I could tell and that he'd help me. Pleaseeeeeeeeee helppppppppppp any answerrrrrrrrrrrssssssss!!!!!!!!!!????????

I know someone who when he was 11 his mom got so mad at him she threw him on the bed he was standing still on the floor and she grabbed his arm and he lifted off his feet and landed on the bed. How could she do it? I've only ever seen people throwing people to the ground like pushing them down like in karate and martial arts never in the air off their feet they go flying onto something.

In my life, no one has been as vicious or unfair to me as my brother. The last time we spoke (10 years ago) he told me he had always hated me, even growing up. Jealousy issues, probably. Family can be great, but not always.

I think I got appearance traits mainly from my grandma even tho I'm a guy. And character probably from my mom and my uncle, and a bit from my dad.

If you were in your late 60's/70's and your adult child in their late 30's/early 40's wanted to move home during covid-19 due to a divorce and job loss would you allow them to move in with you for 6 months to a year? As a mother I've always felt it important to allow my children to be independent and not lean on me as much after 18 because they are grown adults and need to act as such and I won't be here forever. My daughter is really struggling she lost her business due to covid-19 and is going through a rough divorce. Should I let her and her daughter come home and live with my husband and I for a few months to a year? Would this be unfair to my other 2 children? All of my kids were on their own and out of the house by 25. Would you allow your children to come home in extenuating circumstances such as this?  

I'm 24 and I still live with my parents. I have never had a boyfriend and I have no actual friends because I have always cared too much what my mom thinks and always spent more time with her than my friends. I am an only child and my dad was very abusive growing up. I was the only person there for my mom. I have a good job and make enough money to buy my own house, but every time I tell my mom I am looking for a house she tries to guilt trip me by saying that she will be left alone with my dad. She still lives with my controlling/abusive father because she is financially dependent on him. I feel like I have wasted so much of my life worrying more about her than myself and I don't know how to stop

I'm adopted and have been with my parents since day 1. I have never met my birth family before and don't really have a desire to. My parents agreed to have a closed adoption and that there would be no contact after I turned 3. My birth mother did not respect this one bit. Throughout my entire life, my birth mother sent letters to my parents and kept harassing them. She basically thought I was still her child and that my parents were just babysitters. About 4 years ago, I was curious about my birth brother and connected with him on Facebook. My birth mother got word of this and took it upon herself to contact me as well. It was really overwhelming and made me really upset. Last year I started dating someone who is also adopted and he has a great relationship with his birth family. He has open contact with his birth mom and her family. I reached out to my birth mother and have tried having some form of communication with her. At first she was basically harassing me to get me to contact her, and now that I have, she barely talks to me. My birth bother also cut off all ties with me for a reason I don't know. I'm angry since my birth mother was the one who really wanted to talk, and now that she has what she wants, she barely talks to me. When she does talk to me, she thinks I'm her daughter and that she's my mom, and that makes me so uncomfortable. What should I do?

I have known my sons father for 12 years, we were in a casual relationship and I became pregnant, I told him and he was very upset and wanted me to have an abortion which i refuse. He ask me like 4 times to have an abortion through out my pregnancy, I told him no and told him he doesn't have to be in my son's life and then he said he rather be a dead beat, which he has so far. He changed his number, so i dont have any contact with him. When i was 9 months he called private twice and didn't say anything, I knew it was him. He has money, cars,etc, but I dont think it's legal where I can put him on child support. I haven't heard from him since the the private call. He hasn't ask about the baby, his gender or if he is ok. He has other kids that he is involved with and takes care of and on top of it I heard he is in love with his long time girlfriend who has a jail record of being a prostitute and on coke, yet I have never had any run in with the law and I work and take care of myself, but that's who he wants. I want to know if I should change my number and ignore for good or wait and see if he tries to be in my son's life and if not what do I tell my son about the reason his father isn't around? First time mother and I need help figuring this out. Thanks.

I have 8 brothers we all grew up super poor. My brother who is the middle one would wake up and take multiple busses to college. He was broke just like of us, he would work multiple jobs to help pay for everything. I can't believe someone who has nothing grew up to have a PhD in engineering? How is this possible?

So we recently moved into a new house and there's been a bunch of work that's needed to be done.  Often, I would ask my father to come over to help for certain projects.  Recently though, he's just been showing up whenever he wants to work on projects that we never agreed on or discussed him helping.  So each time he does this, I had told him that I appreciate the help but we didn't talk about this, and to please not come over and just start working without calling and discussing it first.  When I say this, he says okay I understand and then just does it again.  So the last time this happened, and I told him not to come over unannounced he got very angry at me and stormed out and ignored my texts and calls to talk that day.  We got into another fight about it today after I called him and said that I wanted to talk it out so he could see where I was coming from. To him, he's just helping and doesn't understand why I wouldn't want the help, and how I could be so ungrateful for his help.  To me, I appreciate the help, but I also don't want his help with things that we didn't discuss, and we need to have boundaries about when he can come over.  I have a wife and two kids and it's not always a good time for grandpa to come over and take over the kitchen for an hour. He said that these could be things that we could work on together. and I tell him that I would like that but it has to be at a time that works for me. So my question is, am I wrong?

Example:  Son: Mom, I remember you told me [insert something very intelligent that a mom  would be proud to have said]. Mom: I never said that!! You don't listen!  Why would I say that?! If the son DIDN'T say "Mom, you were an accomplice to 9/11" or "You told me that 2 plus 2 is 10," why would she get all defensive?  On top of the fact that she said "Why would I say that?" as if her son claimed she told him that aliens from outer space are coming to get us.  Does dementia also cause mood swings and an easily triggered temper.  To forget is one thing, but to react like "Don't you dare even THINK I said that" is very disturbing.

I have sole custody of my children for years. Dad has no visitation rights unless I allow it. Even after the fact of him losing his rights I would let him pick them up 2x a month for 24 hrs. Anywho before Covid I found out he did not have a license. I stopped him from picking them up & instead I would take them & pick them up. But recently in March that stopped because of the virus. He lives with his parents, his daughter & his brother. A little before the virus his brother had drama going on with his parents & was eventually kicked out & his baby was placed with his parents by DCFS. I took them twice (1x in April & 1x in May for Mothers day) to see their grandparents & Dad for 2 hours each time supervised by me. Now it is June & my ex demands me to take my children over there & demands me answer my phone when he calls. Before I go any further let me say he still cannot get over me remarrying & he texts childish msgs. My husband has been a 2nd father & loves them as his own. My ex stopped paying child support since he knows tax season passed & many got their checks along with the stimulus checks being sent out. Mind you he says I don't need money from him. I have enough. Their father has never been there for school events & makes promises he can't keep. He would video chat them only to see what is in the backround. The kids have told me many times they don't want to talk to him nor even go to see him they rather stay home. Do I have to force them to make calls and see him?

my estranged mom thinks that anyone that has a disability or mental issue, needs to be on a mind control drug and be told what to do until they basically die cause she feels those people shouldnt have a life or live life like nondisabled people. even though i can houseclean, pay bills, go to my doctor (by transportation since i cant drive), take medicine, things of that nature, she still thinks someone needs to be put in a institution or home even if someone got moody or annoyed. she saids that if someone cant be told what to do and do what someone saids, theyre incompetent and need to be put away.

My 14 year old son shoved me today for the first time. He pushed me hard enough where I fell back into my chair. It scared me a bit. I have 2 older boys who have never laid a hand on me. Is this normal teen behavior? I've spoke to a few other moms who have told me their children have also shoved and hit them. I don't know what to do? I'm divorced their father has been out of the picture since he was born. Any advice? Should I take him to be mentally evaluated? We had a VERY heated argument and I also said some very nasty things I probably shouldn't have. 

My daughter is 32 and lives in South Carolina. I live in New York. I haven't seen her in 6 months so I flew down there since everything is open and back to normal. She begged me not to come because she's worried about coronavirus cases increasing. I admit since I got here last week they've increased a lot. We've been running around from store to store and even went out to a few restaurant but I've been wearing my mask. My husband took off of work and is coming down Thursday - Sunday. She's adamant about him not coming and keeps saying she has a bad feeling about him coming. She also doesn't want to go out anywhere else it's childish. She now won't go out anymore as of today she said no more. We got into an argument because he spent 200.00 on a plane ticket and he is coming whether she likes it or not. I told her she was being a little drama queen and to get over it. She started SCREAMING at me and told me if her father gets sick (he is a diabetic which is why she's so afraid) she said if something happened to her father she would cut all ties with me and I'd be left with nobody and they I'd be dead to her. SCREAMING at me like a 5 year old. I left and got a hotel. I will not have someone 32 years old screaming at me like that daughter or not. Now she won't let me come back to the house. I don't know what to do. I don't have a flight back home until Sunday. She's acting like an absolute nightmare and now she's got my husband all upset and not wanting to come. 

I haven't got to experience death yet.
