He has always been sick. He has sciatica in his back and when he was born the doctor said he wouldn't survive. But this week he has moreless stayed in bed the whole week and my mom keeps talking about him to everyone she meets. She keeps saying he's gone too pale. Today was a REALLY sunny day where I live, and he only got out of bed once for dinner. He keeps going to bed at like half 7 and is going to the hospital next week. My mom said to me today "your dad is really sick." I've never heard her so serious. I remember she said the same thing the same way 2 days before my grandad died. This is scaring me. What's going to happen?

Recently, my little brother has drawn all over my homework that I took a break on. I got mad at him and my grandma starts scolding me for being irresponsible because I didn't put it in my bag. She also defended him by saying he doesn't know any better. I tried to discipline him but my family won't give two sh*ts about what he does which is why he is a pain. Tell me, am I irresponsible and disrespectful for doing what I described?

I moved to Colorado when I was 15 with my Mom and stepdad. My birthday is in December and we moved in July. Long story short I got taken away because my stepdad is verbally/physically abusive and my mom disappeared because she got caught up with meth and heroine. I don't have a dad because he's dying because of alcohol. I feel like my world is crashing down. I went into a foster home in March, I'm 16 by now and finally my grandpa said I could go live with him out of state. We got the court to approve it and now he's trying to get legal guardianship. Well, recently my grades went down and I eventually got them back up, I have really good grades now and I'm graduating at semester of next year. He found out I ditched fourth and fifth block because my car overheated at lunch. He made me quit my job and he took my car. He went through it and all he found were condoms. He is having criminal investigators investigate that I'm having sex with a thirty year old man ( Which I'm not) but I'm scared for me and him both because we didn't do anything. So now, I've briefly explained to him, I am sexually active and I've apologized to him. I'll be 18 in December and he's driving me crazy. Now, he puts me down all of the time and he says he has no hope for me. He never lets me go anywhere EVER, and all I do anymore is sleep and do homework. I just don't know what to do anymore. I really need suggestions. I feel like I didn't do anything wrong and I might be punished until I move out.

there is this tutor I worked with in college for my math class. She is about 29 and I am 23. One thing I notice My class ended but I still see her around a lot on campus and we chat a lot. I have asked questions about this situation before. I realize I have a big crush on her and think about her a lot, but I have zero chance with her because she is engaged and she is older. But despite that I have developed some kind of obsession with her. I think about her all the time and the last time we spoke I secretly switched the recorder on my phone on and recorded the entire conversation, and I listen to it over and over and the biggest thing, i keep thinking about the next time I see her, I am constantly planning everything about that next time, like exactly what to say or talk about. I have fake conversations with myself pretending it is her. I also feel really mad and jealous I can't get with her the days I have seen her have been the main highlights for me for this entire year, every time between those days and even right now just feels like a build up to the next time I see her. honestly, I can't stand that she is with another guy, whenever I see that ring on her finger I want to grab it and smash it to a million pieces. I also like to take a piece of paper and cut it up pretending it is her fiance, I can't stand. it. I can't believe I am not with and I never will be. It makes me sick. I want to kill him. I really do. The only reason why I won't do it is because it is against the law and I will go to jail is this a problem I should tell someone about, or will I get over it soon? This girl is also rather touchy feely, always patting me on the back or shoulder or side. I wonder why. also, she was my tutor but I still see her around and we chat. She was the one that initiated the first conversation when she saw me, I never initiate conversations with anyone let alone girls

MOLESTED: So my dad molested me when I was a kid and its almost his 60th birthday im in my mid 30's he was a pretty shitty dad I mean not only did he molest me he did what by todays standards would be child abuse. I don't want to go to his birthday party should I feel guilty that I don't want to go?

they beat her when she was little and left scars. they constantly yell at her and belittle her. her dad has called her a whore because she fell asleep on my shoulder. her mom once told her and her sister that women have no rights and it they belong to their dad until they're passed onto their husband. her sister has tried taken her life because of her mom. they force their children to stay at home no matter what. no one leaves unless theyre with a boy who's older then 15 regardless of the girl's age. they dont compromise and always control their lives. she wants to move out when she's 18 and finishes school. im afriad they might do something to hurt us?? help please.

A few years back my mom decided to open one of these letters for my dad. He demanded her to never open them, but this time curiosity took the best of her. Once she opened it she realized it was child support. She thought it was my step sister's (another story). But realized it wasn't. It was another child's. I know this because I overheard my mom crying in her room so i sort of eavesdropped. Right when my father came home his first words to me were: "Hey, Buddy!." No words came out and i ran outside to climb a tree and tried to keep calm. I guess my mom told my dad that she found out because he tried to comfort me. The rest is a total blur besides my mom urging him to get out of the house while throwing objects at him. My parents never got a divorce. But ever since that happened I think about it every day and don't know what to do about it

Hi, last night my brother was annoying my dad real badly. And asking him over and over to go to the spar so he could get a ice lolly and my mum shouted at me and my brother telling us to get to our rooms and she kept telling me off and shooting death glares! Then I stopped playing a game with my friend and she just hates me. Can someone help me? :(

My parents are divorced and I live part time with each. My mom always makes me feel sad and bad about myself. She's got some problems and I dont want to be in a house with her because I honestly don't feel happy or safe. I want to live full time with my dad. How can I get him to let me?

my step dad and my mom keep fighting about stupid things. and it's not like it's just right now either. they yell every single day and it's like they forgot I am in my room crying and listening to them. my step dad always threatens to call the cops when my mom says she is kicking him out. my mom is always so mean after this and it's so sad. like tomorrow a friend was going to come over and my mom was taking us shopping, but now my mom is saying we can't go. this is always really embarrassing especially when they fight while I have company. one time after a big fight I asked my mom why she even married him, and she said only to support her children (me and my two older brothers). my older brothers go to their fathers house every other weekend, but I don't. I just don't know what to do anymore. also, thanks to them yelling, my mom doesn't notice me. I'm an honors student, I gets A's, and never get in trouble. but my mom doesn't care. whenever I try to ask if she's proud of me, she just tells me to go to my room. whenever she isn't having a screaming match with my step dad or working, she's watching TV. I guess she deserves a little break after working hard, but she doesn't ignore my brothers like she ignores me. and I'm her only girl/ the youngest. please help ASAP I just don't know what to do. :(

It is not unusual for couples to argue and fight from time to time, especially when we're talking about my parents. Usually one or the other would apologise for overreacting and everything was back to normal. However I couldn't help but notice that recently the amount of fights has been increasing AND that they keep fighting over the smallest of things. Today, after lunch, my dad noticed that I left 2 mugs out of the dishwasher and told my mom that it was unnecessary and we could've put them in there earlier. Thing is my mom has no time whatsoever in the morning to even notice the damn mugs, since she has to take me and my sister to school (I'm 17 and she's 7). As I was expecting, my parents started an argument over the damn mugs that led to my day grabbbing my mom's neck. It never happened before, I am absolutely sure of it (in previous fights my dad could keep himself calm and never hit my mom, though I suspect that deep down he'd like to, because my mom is not the kind of woman that lets an argument go by without answering my dad). Honestly, in the past I wanted to step in and say something to stop the fight but it never seemed necessary and today I didn't have the courage to interfere. You should know that me and my dad do not have a very strong relationship and it came dwindling over the years (we still talked about random stuff though). My dad also hates the fact that I love games and he always tried to "persuade" me to quit or to uninstall my PC games. Today after the fight with my mom he came into my room and said: "If I see you play any more games, you're fu*ked" (exact quote). So, I've got no idea what to do, my dad left home after the fight and he still hasn't returned (not sure if he will). I have never been faced with a situaltion like this before, and I really need help. Another thing that you should know is that I'm 17 and I was hoping (now it turned more to praying) that I'd get in a university, because my dad is the main source of income in our family and IF he leaves, me going to college will be a very hard deal. I know it might seem selfish, but it is not only about my mom and dad, it is about my future, a future that might get screwed if this idiotic argument about unwashed mugs prevails... so, I am asking for any piece of advice you might have for me. tx

So, I'm 12 and I play black ops 2 and advanced warfare. My brother is 8, And I really want to play with him. However, my parents won't let him. Which would u say is more violent and what can we do to convince parents?

I've been told that this is a normal thing for parents to do, because whenever my mom is mad at me, she does it. It really hurts, and I don't know if I can handle it anymore. My friend's parents do it too, so I'm starting to think that maybe it's just me. Please help!

My husband has severed ties with his dad b/c the latter physically abused him (and his late mom) until he moved out at 18. His dad was an alcoholic. It was 10 years ago; now we're happily married w/ 2 beautiful kids. Recently his dad contacted me, telling me he's been to rehab and cured, and would like to see his grandchildren, but begging me not to tell my husband until later as he would never consent it. He also said he had cancer. I was reluctant but finally agreed to meet him in a restaurant with our 1-year old baby only (and not the 3-year-old). He seemed to have repented indeed and was very nice with the baby (he also has remarried to a widow, and his wife, who was also there, is extremely gentle). He said he was sorry for what he had done to my husband under the alcohol influence, and asked if I could be a mediator between them. My husband however struggles deeply with the idea of allowing our kids near his dad. He said he doesn't want this man near us - he doesn't want to take a risk, as our children and I mean the world to him. He said his dad is a manipulative person. He's indeed very protective of the kids. when I reminded him that his dad has cancer, he said our kids' safety comes above any man's feelings or rights. Usually my husband is as gentle as a lamb so this harsh attitude rather shocks me. I consulted my dad and he said I should listen to my husband as I don't know how bad he was abused (my husband never talked about it with me in detail), and this also disturbs me b/c my dad is a doctor who treated my husband then when his dad landed him in hospital 10 years ago. So I believe it was bad indeed, but now b/c I've seen the man, I feel sorry for him. Maybe my husband would too b/c his dad is now shriveled and timid and self-reproachful, but he won't see him ever. I have a bad conscience, though, if he dies without seeing his other grandson (our 3 y/o). What do you think? Should I take our elder son to see him once without telling my husband and thus having a clear conscience afterwards? Sorry for the long question but I don't feel really good with all these things. Thanks.

My step mom had my little sister without knowing she was pregnant, when my sister was born she had to go to ICU because my step mom drank (a lot) and they also found traces of meth in her system. My parents battled with custody issues for a while and my step mom had to attend therapy and she seemed to straighten up. But as soon as she stopped being regularly tested for drugs and alcohol, she seemed to go back to her old tricks. To top matters off my dad smokes (weed and cigarettes) and most likely does other drugs as well. They really love my little sister and are taking care of her fine, but I worry. I want her out of the house and would hope she could move in with me and my mom's house. Any advice?

I had a testicle removed 5 days ago. I haven t told anyone about it, my work just knows that I had some kind of surgery and I m gone for 2 weeks. I m not feeling too good about the whole thing. It hurts all the time and I m just laying around my house all alone. I m always tempted to tell my mom about it, but why? She ll just freak out that I probably won t be able to make her grandchildren and she ll just start worrying all the time. She lives 500 miles away from me and can t do anything anyway. And if I tell my Dad he ll just turn around and tell her, so I can t tell him either. So, should I just suck it up and deal with it, or cause her unnecessary pain but make myself feel better?

Lately I've really wanted to become a better person. I want to be kind to everyone and help out a lot. I've been trying for a while but my mother is a naturally mean spirited person. I mean this in a way that she just is, and has been forever. She loves arguing and her hobby is talking bad about people and purposely bringing them down (including me) and it really hurts. How can I be a positive person when everyone around me is cold hearted?

I am young, graduating from high school in a month. I am completely broke, however I just got a job after looking for one for 3 years. I have no idea how I am going to pay for college or buy a car. My parents can't help me as they are struggling financially and while I wish they could help me, I understand why they can't. My Mom is supportive and she rejoiced just as much as I did when I finally got a job but my Dad didn't even seem to care. But today I overheard my Dad talking to my older brother, who is doing pretty well money wise, and my Dad offered to give him 25,000 dollars. I am upset. It's like my Dad doesn't care at all about me. For so long I have been worrying about how I was going to pay for college and all and here he offers to give my brother money. What about me. I did talk to Mom about it and she said she's not gonna let it happen, giving my brother money. I am upset over the fact that my Dad offered to give my brother money when he knew how I am practically broke and can't afford college.

I found out that my father has cheated on my mom twice and that my mom also cheated on my dad few days ago. Since then i'm feeling highly uncomfortable and i feel disgusted by them both for living in such lies and dishonesty. What can i do?

he tells cashiers to empty out my ebt food stamps every month and I am short every month on food money for grocerys they put pressure on me to spend my ebt food stamps the week I get my food stamps then I have to ask my dad for help for grocerys and tell him I buy drugs and I don't I overspend on grocerys then he thinks I cant budget but I can before I used to live with my half brother I always was good with budgeting help I have to go to food banks but I don't have a car to get to food banks I am good at budgeting but he keeps pressuring me to buy things I cant afford like expensive cheesecakes and meet for my preschooler and then he says I don't buy protein thanks

When we go out in public she stresses everyone out that we talk to. Whenever I'm around her, I get sick to my stomach. She is always complaining about something that isn't really much of an issue. She yelled out the other day that she was "tired of settling." We have standing water in the yard in places and we have pets that she is allergic to, but it's not that bad and they are 2 really lovely animals. She's overweight and always just eating candy and complains about her back and weight and how she needs to fix it BUT SHE NEVER DOES. She lies all the time about things and then will laugh if you get caught up in it the wrong way to make you seem dumb. Today she was asking a guy for directions and he almost blew her off because of her attitude. She's always trying to make an argument with my dad, and is always talking to my sister about how her disability impairs her rather than uplifting her. She makes great food and does well with doing other stuff, but she would just sit around and eat sweets all day if me and my family would do our chores and she would gain even more weight. She gets upset at me for trying to "bring the good out of the situation." Her worldview is so messed up and she won't change herself. She just wants to be mean to everyone. Whether she hates herself or not, why doesn't she just get over it? How do I tell her? Not many other people are like this and why can't she just fix herself? It's cause me and my sister to develop trichotillomania..

I know it sounds weird but I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm starving. She got rid of my cat today, for no reason, she just said it was getting on her nerves. And we had a fight but now she's in the kitchen and I need to go there to get some food! what can I do? And don't say just go and get some and ignore her or whatever because I hate her so much right now I don't even want to look at her

My brother is currently 23, and ever since I can remember, he has had a very short temper. He often gets to a point where he is slamming stuff around and throwing things, just because they aren't working the way he wants them to. For instance whenever he is playing a game on his phone, and he is losing, or something doesn't go his way, he start punching the couch or hitting the table, and he often blames things on inanimate objects. Like yelling "YOU STUPID THING!!! WHY WONT YOU DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO!!!" If my parents weren't as great as they are, then his anger would be much worse. Whenever he starts yelling and arguing and screaming, my parents continue to speak in a calm and controlled way, but he just continues to flip out. He also hates it when people try to help him. This one time, his hands were full of groceries, so I held open the door for him, and he flipped out, screaming "IVE GOT IT MYSELF!!!" When my other older brother used to live here, they would get in physical fights a lot. But since then it hasn't gotten to the point that he will hit people, but it has gotten very close. No one else in our family is like this, and nobody in our family treats him rudely. My parents have let him know that his anger gets out of hand, and they let him know speaking very calmly. Does anybody have an explanation for this? Or is there any way to solve the problem?

so I've been up since 8:50 am cleaning. I cleaned my living room by organizing sweeping and mopping. Dusted the TV dusted the picture frames and I dusted our heating vent that's on our wall. I put away the dry dishes sweepers and mopped the kitchen floor, wiped the refrigerator down and washed the dirty dishes. I then cleaned my bathroom and my downstairs bathroom. My dad and brother didn't get up till 11, And my dad told my brother to unpack all my moms shoes and throw away the boxes. Before he started he vacuumed and did his laundry (piles and piles of his dirty laundry that he let accumulate) and my dad wanted to wipe down the counters with a chemical so he wanted me to wash my bros dirty glasses (i left those for him) and I refused and he's like fine I'll have him wash his glasses and you can do ALL the work he's doing. He yelled at me some more and I'm sitting there dumbfounded. Not only did I do all this work but you refuse to acknowledge it. And you act as if unpacking shoes is a lot of work. What should I do?

Hola sucede tengo un tío q es grande tiene como 70 y nos ayuda económicamente, yo vivo con mi abuela y ella siempre me ha cuidado mucho y siempre que vamos a ver a mi tío vamos juntas hasta hace poco, fui yo sola y me dio un beso en la boca, todos los de mi familia tienen esa costumbre de darle piquitos a sus hijos pero no se yo lo sentí diferente. hoy mi tio me dijo que me quería ver pero que fuera sin mi abuela, la verdad no quiero ir pero tampoco quiero que me deje de pagar la universidad.

So I have the need to be constantly entertained. When I go to work I find no fun in it, thus making my anxiety levels soar. The reason I'm asking this question is not to find a way out of working, but a way to make working either go by faster or not be so torturous for me. (I work for my parents at my dad's office) My mom makes me stay for 4 hours before allowing me to go home. It's not much I know, but I just need help with getting my emotional state to agree. I've tried listening to music which helped somewhat. Is there anything else I can do?

Okay so every time my older sister is asked to go somewhere with her friends my mom is always like you have to go with her to me. Like just today my sister was invited to a bonfire her friends were having and I have to come along. Just like when I was invited to a Halloween party by my friend my sister had to come with me and I had to stay with her the whole time so I really couldn't hang out with my friends. I hate going places with my sister and her friends because I always feel awkward. My sister is 15 and I'm 13. How can I convince my mom to let me go places without my sister and stop making me go places with my sister?

My little brother (only sibling) who is 10 today is his birthday, and I am in the army, and I'm going to be home for good😄😄😄 and I know he really misses me, I don't want to post videos were not posting the one that I will be surprising him in. But my mom sent me a video of him crying saying how much he misses me now I'm going to be home for a looooooong time but I'm going to be home today my parents want him to be surprised somehow, not just close your eyes hey open them then that surprising moment, how should I surprise him so please hurry up I'll be home in a hour!!!!

My cousins steals from me, and hits me. The other night she bruised my shoulder for turning down her music. (it was at 20, i turned it down to 15) She took my diary, and read it her friends after I told her not to touch it. She stole my food when I told her not to touch it. She says that I have no butt or no boobs although im 11. Just because im smaller than her ( im 11, shes 13) I cant do anything about it, and I get this treatment with no help. Whats the deal with her?????

The mother has been in her step children's life since they were born but doesn't see them often but she does love them and she takes care of them if necessary. She has a biological child who is 10years older than her step children and the mother has a really close relationship with her biological child because she has always wanted a child and tried really hard to have one after two miscarriages. She has lived with her biological child for all her life and they do almost everything together. She says her biological child is her greatest blessing. So is it possible from this situation for the mother to love her step children more or even equal to her own child?

How can I live up to my high school experience in the next 4 years when my dad is always ruining my life? As you know, I am Asian, so my dad is very strict and very socially awkward. I hang out with my friends a lot because I do it without my dad knowing and my mom is Asian and he dos not have a problem with it. She says I can hang out with anyone as long as they are not a bad influence or smokes crack and weed. My dad, I'm going to my friend's house today and he just seriously asked me if he is black or white. I said "White" and he said, "Good, don't hang out with black people. They're gangster". He is just a stereotype for thinking that ALL black people are gangsters. Since when did a Christian become stereotypical? He says he is always right and god-like, when he is the worst father there is. He tells me that I will get abused when I come over to my friend's house and that I will starve to death. He tells me that friends are a distraction to school and my life. Without my friends, I probably won't even live anymore. I've been counting up to the days I'm moving out of the house for good and doing whatever my heart tells me to do and whatever my heart wants my future career to be. This is going to sound stupid, but I wish I had my BF's kind of parents; his parents are like the opposite of my dad. I actually wish I wasn't Asian. 5 points total. Thank you! I'm really frustrated that I want to move away right now. My dad won't let me live a little and I'm in the honor roll.

I am going crazy, trying to raise my step child. He's incredibly lazy! So lazy that he appears to be a damn retard. He came to live with us when he was six. His retard mom still had him in pull-ups at that age, and she literally did everything for him. He's 10 now, and he's learned this helplessness that we are desperately trying to correct. It honestly makes him appear to be stupid. For example, he'll pee in his pants, at school, and when I ask him why, he says, "I didn't want to get up." Or, he wore his pants backwards to school one day. He said someone told him that they were backwards but he just didn't want to fix it so he didn't. He'll walk around with boogers and snot on his face and nose, just because he doesn't want to clean it. I'm so fed up. IDK what to do. Someone please help.

From my previous questions you can understand my problem with my younger brother. I know that my brother posted some questions in Yahoo! Answers. I know you think me and Jack are trolling but let me say that before my brother write anything he saw my questions. Forgive him... He's young and also in a bad situation. Unfortunately he's in a psych ward... I couldn't continue taking care of him... He was becoming worse and my husband felt so alone without me. Hope you understand.

Since I was little, she has called me mean names. We are complete opposites and we have never gotten along.The longest we actually got along was for about two weeks. When I did seem to care for her I begged her to stop smoking cigarettes and drinking everyday, but she didn't seem to care. So I don't care anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom but we will never get along and have that "mother-daughter" relationship. I'm embarrassed to be with her in public because she is rude. If a it restaurant gets her order wrong, she becomes nasty and will likely curse them out. My step dad has constantly told me that I am coming in between him and his family, I'm going to cause them to separate, and I cause the problems in their relationship. I think it's my mom's drinking and smoking and his aggressiveness that causes their constant fighting, but I guess it's me. I don't like my family and I don't like my mom the most. Is this normal?

So my friend hit my brother he is 3 with some pants like swung them so we got into a argument and I was like don't hit my brother blah blah over protective sister thing then she was like I'm sorry I wasn't having it I was mad and I was get out cause I don't wanna see ya face if would hit ur little brother u wouldve had a fit so get out so basically I kicked her out and she is gone now what do y'all think I should do but the way I'm 13 she is 14 and my ma was at work...

Im 14. I know, your probably thinking really... shes barely a teenager and thinking about this stuff but yes i am and i know i shouldn't be but its my dream and im starting high school next year. I need to know what school to go to, do i have to go thru the whole internship and residency or can i just go to med school and look for a job in an office. I really don't know how to word this so i'm sorry if its confusing but i want to be the thing you take your kids to when their sick. ( Except not JUST kids i want to be a family doctor,) also could someone tell me how much schooling for this specific thing is and how much school do i have to go thru? like how many years? I don't come from a family with a lot of money... i come from a broke family, knowing that im broke it kind of took me thru a stage that i couldn't do it but i really believe in myself and its what i want, my brother is most likely not going to be that good of a success and my sister well shes not off to a good start with the whole boyfriend thing if you know what i mean, I remember since i was 7 my mom always told me she believed in me and that i would be the one shes very proud of. Well now my mom still tells me this and i don't want to lt her down . Plus im not the smartest pee in the pod ( im not on A+ honor roll but my whole year of 8th grade iv gotten a/b honor roll. its not that good but when u compare it to my bro and sisters f honor roll i feel good about it)

A few days ago, I bought a gaming laptop, with the money I got for Christmas and my birthday. and I get A LOT of money. It had Windows 8.1 on it, and I went and encrypted and locked everything on it. When my parents found this out, they got enraged, took my laptop to a computer repair shop, and got them to wipe the OS and put Family Safety on my computer. I don't know why they would do this. I don't watch porn or do any illegal activities, or any other bad things. I can only use it on the weekends from 6-9 P.M. This REALLY interferes with my schoolwork when I have to type up an essay. Also, the Web Filtering blocks some non-adult sites that I used to go on, and other things, and it's really annoying. I have to ask them for the password every time I want to get on the computer during the week or visit a blocked site, and I HATE the feeling that I have to rely on them when I have to do something (I am very independent). I feel like it's very childish. They have even set the game rating filters to where I can barely play any E or PEGI 7+ games. The only games I can play are eC or PEGI 3+ games. I'm 13 years old. It's not like I'm in preschool or anything, which I'm not. I am in 7th grade. I have tried EVERYTHING to get around this, from disabling it in services.msc, to trying to get into Safe Mode to disable it, only to get blocked out EVERY TIME when it asks me for my parents' password, which I don't have. How do I remove this thing!?

I'm 15 years old and I want out of my house. Living in my house makes me so depressed and most of the time suicidal. Within the last two years both of my grandfathers died, my grandmother died, my parents almost got divorced,I came out of the closet, my mom got pregnant with twins from another dad, and I'm just so done with it. I feel that I am emotionally abused but my parents will always deny it. When I was younger they would always make fun of me, call me names, and would leave me alone to have fun by myself. A year and a half ago my parents were separated and my mom would go out dancing and would leave me and my brother alone every night for 6 months. At the age of 13 I should not have been forced to fend for myself. Since being left alone I ran to drugs. I'm now done with them but I felt so lonely and still do. My parents still say something is wrong me on the inside because I'm gay. My parents took away my phone, Xbox, TV, and my tablet because they thought that was influencing me in my "choice". My depression has caused me to become anorexic. The only time I feel happy is when I'm around friends at school. How can I get out of my house so that way I can be truly happy because my parents are the only ones who make me feel like this?

Ok, so 2 years ago at Christmas my dad decided to leave (On the 24th - Christmas Eve) I've always been closer to my dad than I have my mum. When he left I was in shock each night since then I would cry myself to sleep and wrap myself in his jumper - because it was the only thing that would make me feel like he was still there. Since then my dad has moved out and is living alone. He says he would like it if I came over and stayed for or on the weekend; I think that would be great because I haven't seen him since Christmas Eve, 2 years ago. He also wants to take me out on days out but the thing is I feel like it will hurt my mum, since then me and my mum have became closer but I still want to see my dad because I do miss him, but my mum and dad aren't on good terms. My siblings call me, "Daddy's girl" but I am... well was.. until he left. I would go everywhere with my dad, but the trouble is I have depression (severe and bi-polar) and so I blame myself for him leaving, I get it that my mum is the one who gave birth to me, but my dad still loves me.. well I think he does. My siblings think he is only there to take me off my mum "because I'm the weak one" and get the money for me (They say all he cares about is money and not me) They also hate my dad and so I don't know If I should say anything to my mum or not. Me and my dad have a close relationship.. well did until he left. I still cry at night and my depression/anxiety/stress really does not help the situation at all. How do I ask my mum if I can see my dad?

After my uncle divorced with his wife because he became addicted to drugs she rightly kept his child, my cousin away from him. However, she also forbade any contact from our side of the family and she moved away with my cousin. There was nothing my grandparents, my parents or my sister and I could do about it. My cousin was 6 years old the last time we saw him/talked to him. Now he is 12. I have recently found him on facebook and I don't know if I should contact him. He probably doesn't remember any of us and his mother probably lied to him about us and told him bad things. We all miss him a lot and we really want to talk to him. What do you think I should do? What do you think I should say?

I don't mean RAISING a baby, just the act of having sex, getting pregnant, and giving birth. All it takes is a few minutes, 9 months, and a few hours. Nowadays with medical technology giving birth is practically a cakewalk compared to doing taxes for a small business. And then there's always adoption. So why spend all the extra money, energy, and resources when the child will just amount to a lifeless vegetable that drools on themselves in chair, will occasionally make a loud noise, and will need constant care and attention their entire life?

I am a high school sophomore. I have played organized basketball for most of my life, I'd say I'm fairly well. I used to play it because it was fun for me and I enjoyed it. But now I realize I play it because my parents force me. I have sat down with my jv coach and told him I wasn't sure if I wanted to play and he was fine with it. I talked to my mother and explained to her that I play it to make her and my dad happy. It is something I no longer enjoy and dread doing. My parents think if I stop playing I will have nothing to keep me busy(I also play huge amounts of golf)i love golf 100 times more than basketball. I just wish there was a way to make my parents understand why I don't wish to play anymore. My mom said I am too good to quit but I really don't want to play anymore for them. They did this when I didn't want to play baseball either. I haven't told me dad yet because I know he will be VERY upset. I know I will not miss playing. They force me to play aau now and automatically expect me to play all 60 summer league games for my school, plus do workouts and open gym. I do not want to play this year. I want to explain to them but I don't know how because I know they will be upset with me.

My boyfriends older sister is a money theif. She stole from several other people before but no one in that family ever confronts her. They just hide their money and act normal. We are sure she is addicted to drugs and that's why she is always stealing money. It pisses me off but I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything until she stole from me! When I was at my boyfriends I found out she got my debt card number and was taking money out of my account! I called the police and before she got arrested I announched what happened and that I called the police. My boyfriends parents WENT OFF ON ME! They said I was a horrible heartless person and that I will never be welcomed into the family if my bf and I get married. I'm not allowed at their house anymore and the dad got himself so worked up he had to go to the hospital and then I got blamed for that too. He has a heart condition. I feel terrible about that part but I wasn't gonna just let her take money out of my bank account! Everyone is treating me like the criminal and saying they will defend the theif. My boyfriend is upset with me but not as much as his parents are. I got along great with my bfs family before this happened. Do you think they will ever accept me again? Should I apolagize for this? I don't regret it since I'llm be getting back the money that was stolen. I just want the family to like me again.

My dad is a good father, but has never been able to open up emotionally. Two weeks ago, something bad happened at work but he snaps at my mom when she tries to ask about it. Then, my sister found a bag of marijuana in his computer desk. My mom confronted him about it and his face got red and he wouldn't talk to her. He locked himself in a room talking on the phone for about 45 min then without a word to anyone, he snuck out the back and left. He never came home and my mom is extremely upset. He's never done this before, I never thought he was capable of being so careless and selfish. My sister wants to call my grandparents (his parents) and tell them everything. What should I do??

**DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK US OUT OF IT PLEASE!** My sister and I need a plan to run away, since we've been having huge fights with our mom. Our mom yell at us constantly over the smallest things, and we hate it! Our dad doesnt care and watches! It really hurts our feelings, and they know it. They apologize to us, but always do it again the next day. We're really good students, and get A's and B's on our report cards. My sister is in the honors program, and is in it for Literature and Math. I am not, however, because I struggle sometimes and am a slow learner. Despite this, I try really hard to keep my grades up and usually manage to get A's. If we get any lower than a B on any paper, our mom yells at us and gets really mad. She's a teacher, on top of it, and expects us to be perfect. She knows it isn't fair, yet it happens again and again. If it continues we want to run away to somewhere far away. We just want to get away from the stress of perfection! What do we need? We wanted to go to either Mexico or Japan, but we don't have any passports or anything. I'm 13 and she's 12. What do we do and how do people run away?

my prom is coming up next month and at first I wasn't going to go because I didn't think it was something I would want to do. But then people, everywhere I went it seemed, said that I should for the memories and if I didn't, I would regret it. Then a teacher of mine said she would pay for my ticket. (It's not that weird. She's like my go to person for advice) so I decided to go and I told my mom.. The next day she texts my saying she found the perfect dress while I was asleep? She calls me saying she ordered it. She told my how I'm going to wear my hair, what shoes I would wear, and how my makeup will be done. Okay I don't know much about prom, but shouldn't I take control of everything that should happen? It's my night.. I wanted everything to be perfect. If I told my mom that I didn't like that dress, she would get so mad at me. Like really mad. She would get so mad she probably wouldn't talk to me and I don't find that any of this is fair. I don't feel like I deserve any of this. How do I tell her that I don't like the dress without hurting her feelings? And without my grandmother and aunts and father getting mad at me for making my mom upset?

So i asked my parents if i could give our dog a bath. They said sure. I said he's starting to stink to which they said no he's not. I though he was starting to stink a little so i said he stinks a little. But both parents thought i said yes he does instead of that. Then they yelled at me for arguing with them and now i'm not allowed to wash the dog. I tried to explain to them thats not what i said but they said it might have of been a mistake but what i said was different than what i think i said. I'm 100 percent sure i said what i thought i said so i told them that. They then yelled at me for arguing even more and won't believe what i'm trying to tell them. They threatened to take away stuff like my phone. Them later i was looking out the window and they yelled at me for sulking by the window to get what i want when thats what not i was doing at all. Please help, i'm starting to think my parents hate me. Are they overreacting or do i just think so?

Hey, everyone. I'm 15 and I have a sister who is 12. About a year ago, I for some unknown freaking reason, decided to be an emo. I I started to cut until my sister started wanting to be like me and do the same. I I quit being emo now and I want my sister to stop listening to that crap music and cutting herself. She used to like Willie Nelson and was a happy person. I don't want that to change. How can I convince my sister to stop this madness?

I like getting attention from men. I don't feel that way with every man, only my step dad and the men I look up to(admire) but here's the thing- my mom and biological dad got divorced when I was little, so until 3 years ago, I didn't have a father figure in my life. I barely see my biological dad and even when I do, he isn't much of a father. He acts more like a teenager than a father. at my church there are some men I like getting attention from. I don't have a crush on them I just admire them and think they're awesome. I don't feel like I need as much attention from them(it's still there but not as much)because I have my step dad at home and he loves me and spends time with me. He's a lot more like a dad to me than my biological one. Does all this make me have daddy issues and are daddy issues a bad thing?

OK my cousin he is very annoying. He forces me to play games with him and if I say no he gets mad at me and his mom asks me to play with him (he's 8). He also gets anything he wants (he has his mom's old phone, a iPhone 5s that calls) and he is babied. He follows me around everywhere and if I tell him to go away he says "Your not the boss of me"

Ok so me and my brother have never ever had a good relationship. He always has said how much he hates me, or wishes I was never born. And he never gets in trouble for it. I, on the other hand, am not allowed at all to say anything back to him. I find it really unfair. He constantly hurts me physically, emotionally, and mentally, and makes me very uncomfortable with myself. For example, the other day I was recording myself singing, and he went "wow you suck. Don't quit your day job." And please don't say he's just being playful or teasing or that stuff. He makes me cry myself to sleep sometimes. He bites me, pulls my hair, insults me, calls me names, and more. I can't stand it anymore. Just please help! I'm suffering.

So basically I was having a video chat with a 12 year old (cause you know what would a 12 year old possibly do or think of?) but then only half of my face is seen. Then suddenly he shows a gif with my face in it, but my face can only be seen in a span of 1-3 seconds and he says if I don t do "stuff" for him he ll edit and post it with me doing nasty stuff. I mean an he do that? I m scared, my brother and cousin knows but they say I shouldn t worry cause he doesn t know anything about me. I m still paranoid.
