My parents both suck but anyways,I was just in the store with my dad and we were shopping like usual and I just said oh get the pretzels ! And he said no he has to get his cookies so I'm like okay. Then before that he called me selfish for no reason at all. Then fast forward to the cookies I was just joking and said "Ohhh but you get your cookies! And I don't " I didn't mean anything bad ,then he fcking throws the cookies at the fruit and walks away and said I'm like my mother and he busts his balls for cookies something like that. I'm really upset and trying not to lose it. I'm 20 years old so not some whiney teenager. I always was emotional abused by my mom so ... Being called selfish all over again triggers things.... But did I say anything wrong ?!

Hi, my grades are really bad, i mean F's and D's. Im in middle school. I try and try my best but I just cant get good grades! I think its homework. Anyway, my dad bought a boat, and i love fishing with him. My dad knows i love fishing. He also knows about my grades. My dad keeps saying that if i get bad grades,or miss any assignments (wich i am) I wont get to go on the boat with him. First of all, how can i get my grades up before school ends, wich is in a month. Second of all, if get bad grades, how can i convince him not to punish me in that way. I would rather no tv then no fishing with him. I was thinking about giving him a speech, like "I know i got bad grades, but spending time with you doesnt have a price. I shouldnt have to earn it. If you dont wanna spend time with me i get it, just think about that." Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am 12 It is 7pm tonight They don't know I want to be an actor they think I still want to be a lawyer if I tell them they will think I'm just saying what my sister said and my sis expects me to be a lawyer like her help please

So I am a 13 girl and my brother is 16, but since I was born I was beaten up by him and threatened, and had to share a room with him. I have also developed social anxiety, a lot of phobias and I get scared pretty easily.He is not a nice brother anyways. But my dad likes me much than he likes my brother, and my mom noticed so she was like 'hmm what if I make this girl hate her life and just show her that I love her brother much more than I love her?' . My dad recently moved to England but little does my mom know, he doesn't even favor me that much like before. Me and my brother are equal. But in my mom's eyes, I am the one responsible for everything. My mom also bought my brother a almost 1000$ PC but she can't ******* buy me a 50$ tyr bag( so I can take it at swim practice) and she keeps telling me how she does everything for me and stuff. She didn't even buy me a birthday CAKE, not even a birthday present. She always yells at me when I say that to her. Anyways, how can I escape this ? How can I make her understand that I am left behind ?

So when I was about 6 or 7 my father molested me in the shower after that he proceeded to stand me in front of the mirror squeeze my penis real hard and asshole thought it was the funniest thing and I wanted him to stop. Anyways I know you sometimes block out the memories and this is the only thing that I can remember at this time. My question is should like once be enough and like if I don't want to talk to him see him again I mean cant that be understandable? Update: I am in my mid 30's now. I mean he did other horrible things to me as well as far as physical abuse this is just the one incident that I can remember. I want him out of my life I mean my mother abused me too. I ant them both out of my life and for them to stop trying to contact me.

I feel like I have no privacy with my husband's family. My husband tells everything to his family about me like where I go, what I do as a job, even when I am on my period. When they ask if they can talk to me, he would tell them I am not feeling well because I am on my period. I feel like why he releases all this info. Basically his family know everything about my life. My husband video tape my do and our house and send it to his family while I have never visited his sister's house 5 minutes away. I do not even know what his sister does, or have never met her husband. His parents live overseas. This really bothers me and I talk to him, he just does not understand. He does not even respect my privacy. video tape my dog and when we go anywhere.*

My mom is single- I don't see my dad but I found in her drawer 2 bottles of pills for erectile dysfunction for a John Martin, and 8 bottles of personal lubricant. She has a friend from work who sometimes slept over but on the couch, they didn't act even a little into each other. His name is J, and he left her some firewood and a fire starting kit on the porch one night and he left before she opened the door. It read 'xoxo John' and no one calls him John. He painted my room and is really nice to my brother and I, sometimes my mom goes out for long periods of time at night with him and she says they're just running errands but they dress up nice. Opinions!?

My dad got very angry at me today for not wanting to go to work with him in the morning, he told me he's kicking me out and doesn't want to see me in his house once he comes back.... Can he kick me out??? I'm 17 and I'm in high school

None of my cousins had a baby, it's just something that I'm really curious about.

I'm 15,my parents are separated,i live with my mother and i love her really much,she also loves me and i understand that she has many many problems,inluding my problems,money,my dad,the job etc,but sometimes i just feel like i need to talk to her,but she's always tired,sad,mad,feeling bad, or waching TV ,and she's only talking to me (like having a conversation with me) when i do something bad,and i don't know how to make her listen to me,i don't want to complain or talk about problems i just want to talk,tell stories etc What should i do?I already told her this many times but no results...:/

My father is honest man and he work a lot .

Im a 15 year old girl and my brother is 11. We have to share a bedroom, because there is no other rooms in the house. Just a kitchen, a small living room and 2 bedrooms. The problem is there is no bathroom in our room so i have to changey clothes in front of my brother. The other day my brother saw me changing and asks me why my vagina is so brown. He meant my pubic hair. Is it ok for me to keep changing in front of my brother. I think its fine and my parents siad its no big deal.

I'm the kid. When my dad gets mad at me, he will slap me so hard!!! Is that logical?

I got a girl pregnant and from 0 to 7 months we've been doing fine locked not too long ago a family member of hers died and because I did not want to go to the funeral we've been going down hill arguments and disagreements fights and then everything n negative constantly she is still pregnant but now lives with her family who talk about me all the time and tell her to put me on child support. the crazy part is I still take care of her she talks to me when she needs something when it comes to events such as doctor appointments she ignores me but when it comes to finances that she needs because she has no job she is more than happy to talk to me I've been taking care of her for a while now and I don't want it to be like this anymore she feels as if she can take care of that baby on her own knowing she cannot when my daughter is born I do not want to be away from her I'll do everything in my power to take care of my daughter and my daughter only norm because she's a woman she feel that she could do anything she wants because the law please can anyone help me and tell me how I can deal wisely with this and not be crushed because I am a man due date is next week please help. I know one of the reasons why she is like this because of her family there constantly in our business and if it is up to them I know she will soon put me on child support even though I've been already taken care of her all I want is my daughter please ho

Ok so don' t get me wrong, my parents love me and do everything they can for me but, they are constantly telling me how miserable I look and how terrible I am to everyone. I am their first born so they don't have much experience. Anytime I do something remotely incorrect I am grounded in a second and I'm sick of it. What should I do?

I have been battling arthritis for the past seven years. I am only 22 and it's pretty unusual to get it so young. My mother has been there with me through it all. I have been through every drug approved for arthritis and am now on an experimental treatment. Before going on it, I tried marijuana (it's legal where I live). I didn't do it to get high, only to help manage the pain/symptoms. My mom just found out I stopped taking the marijuana (because this new treatment is working so well) and she got pissed. She thinks I shouldn't stop taking it the minute I begin to feel better just in case. I want to go off it as soon as possible. We got in this huge argument about medicine. I have to admit, I have been really good about taking my meds except for all these supplements I'm supposed to take. Honestly, she has dumped a pretty penny into these supplements. However, it is my body and I'm the one dealing with it. I know she has been through a lot with this, but she has not endured the physical pain (and mental) for the past seven years that I have dealt with. I feel that it is unfair of her to get so angry with me when I have given up so much of my life to this disease and have suffered so much, physically and emotionally. There are so many things I've had to miss out on and this disease is all we ever talk about. I'm tired of it. Is it wrong of me to want things to be different? More importantly, is it wrong of me to be angry with her for forcing me to take all these supplements?

So my fathers side of the family seems to not like me all that much. I don't spend too much time with them. When they invite me places I go with my gf to her things instead. On holidays I go to my gf's family. I post pictures of myself smiling with them and having a good time. When I have get togethers I invite my gf's family but not my dads side of the family. Is this wrong?

lived on my own for a year and had to move back in with parents they treat me as an adult and everything is fine we dont argue or anything but it just feels so different living with them from when i lived there growing up why is that? is it normal?

My mother has been being rude to me lately. Everyday I straighten my hair by myself so one day at 5:00 at night I asked her if she could get the back and she started ranting about how it wasn't her hair and she's to busy , so she then watched TV with my step father for 3 hours , the next week it was Monday morning I slept in because I was sick the night before I asked if I could stay home ,she then again flipped at me and yelled and me to shut the hell up your never sick u always miss school and some other stuff, so basically I was supposed to be at school by 8:40 I left the house at 8:45 I didn't no what to do so I grabbed my makeup with tears streaming down my face I ran to school and put on my makeup with my friend , I was crying so I brought my best friend with me to the guidance counslr and we talked and I told her about how bad my deppresion and aniexty is , basically my mom doesn't no about my deppresion and it makes me cry everyday and at night , I try to go out with my friend to get away from my house as much as I can I almost ran away 2 days ago i was so close to running away with my friend who also has depression , lately I feel so worthless and I just want to stop living someone please help me I know this doesn't seem so bad but it is, I could on for hours about my dad and my step mom and my 4 siblings and my step father and my mother but I can't deal any more someone tell me there will be good in my life :(

I'm just gonna say this straight. I'm a kid and my mom has a lot of things to deal with and I'll tell you them. My dad is hiding money from us and my mom doesn't have a lot of money but my "amazing" dad makes her spend all the money and he goes and buys stuff for himself. My mom wants him gone and I do too, but she can't afford to keep my brother and I , my brother just got into college. My mom has had shingles from stress she has had and it is starting to show signs of it again. My dad just cares about himself and don't tell me "things are going to get better" cause I don't think you know what its like to go through this. My dad also drinks a lot and gets angry and makes my mom cry sometimes from arguments and she is trying to take a test for her to make more money but she can't pass it because of my dad. She took it about 3 or 4 times and still trying to take it. I think my dad is trying to move her out of the house and she said she wouldn't know where to go because I would go with her cause I dont want to stay with my dad. I'm never going to stay anywhere with him. So if you read this far or if anyone reads this, thanks just for reading this, but I want to know what you would do if you were my mom or me keeping in mind what he does. Thanks.

My father was abusive (mostly emotional) to my mother, although he denies this. After my parents divorced, the only way he could abuse her was through texts and voicemails. I've listened to and read a few of these in which he threatens to kill my mother, and he goes into detail about how he would do it. I'm just disgusted with him and haven't spoken to him in nearly a year. My mother hasn't seen him in about 3 years, but he still continues to threaten her. She changed her number, but he still leaves messages on her family members phones. After the divorce, my mom eventually had a daughter (my half sister) by her boyfriend and is planning to change her name and my sister's name to her maiden name, and I think I should as well. Would changing my name be a sound decision? I know that I'm doing it out of disgust and hate for dad, but I just can't see how keeping his name would make any sense. Thanks for any advice.

My mom got pregnant by a military solider back in 1990. He left and my grandparents raised me. I was always the little favorite because i was the first born. I do have a brother and he was loved the same way but my mom saw otherwise. Anyways one summer she lied to me about visiting her now husband and she up and just took me from them. My mother is a very greedy person when it comes to money and despises my grandparents but keeps asking for money. They might have not gotten along in the past ( shes adopted) but she cannot let go. Everytime they visit she picks fights. They are from germany and that is an expensive ticket. They are in their 70s and my mom simply cannot stand them. Every friend she ever had is no longer in her life. I am not sure what to do since she constantly yells at my brother, complains about her own life yet tells me im sick in the head and I need help when I try to enlighten her that it is not right to treat others bad because of her misery. My family isnt a family. I see my grandparents as my parents and she hates that. I am so close to shutting her out of my life. She is miserable and I do not want any part of it. There is no talking to her about it and she twists my words. Any advice?

I'm a 24 year old dude, and the only reason I moved back in with my mom is because she is getting really bad with drinking. I have a little 4 year old half sister that lives with her also so I can't not live there if my moms acting like this How do I deal with this? It makes me extremely mad at her and that she barely even cares about my baby sister sometimes. Not only do I have to babysit my little sister, I also have to babysit my mom there is no dad in the picture, it's just me my mom and my little half sister

My teenage son has way too many electronics in his room and is now trying to build some high powered computer. Last year he had way too many things on an outlet including a space heater that he never shut off therefore he burned the copper inside the wall. After an expensive electrician visit we found out that all the outlets in his room, part of my other sons room and part of bathroom are being fed by the same breaker. I work in a data center and I know how hot computer eq can get and cooling of these equipments that run 24-7 is important. intold his other that I don't want anymore electronics running in his room since it can cause problems but she doesn't think much of it. My 20yr old has every game system out there and sometimes leaves them on all the time so I think it's time for him to get his own place but his mom rather see me out the door. I've approached them both in many ways but my wife always tells me that I can come too strong eventhough she never says that about my 10yr old so I guess the 20yr old has grown a vagina or something. What can I do here in order to have me 20yr old move out?

I'm a 13 year old boy from Louisiana. I can't stand my dad. I don't think I can live with him for 5 more years (when I become an adult). All of my family lives in Dominican Republic. Me and my dad are the only ones that live in Louisiana. It's just him and me in an apartment. But here is why I'm considering calling CPS: I don't get fed. Half of the stuff in our fridge is expired. He doesn't even stock up the pantry. He uses the pantry to store his tools in! When he goes to buy groceries, he always gets the same things: Rice, bananas, and cookies that always taste stale. He makes rice every single time and makes enough to last about 2 weeks. It's disgusting! Knowing I don't like it and don't eat it, he still makes it. Some of m friends think that maybe I'm anorexic. I only eat it when he forces me to. Sometimes I go an entire day just drinking water just because there's nothing to eat. In fact, this morning I had to get up, got about $1.50 (all I had), and walk to a store 1 block away from me to buy a honey bun. Why? Because there isn't any breakfast. Another reason I'm thinking of calling it's because i get neglected. He spends all of his time on craigslist looking for women. The women that he does talk to, he gives him all of his money too. He gives all of his money to strangers who might not even be a woman. I have about 4 shirts (that fit me), and about 3 shorts.I wish you were here to see it. My uncle told me not to call because i don't know who I'm going to. Part 2 (ran out of space). No kid should live like this. All he cares about is women and not me. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to ask your neighbors for food? One time, I asked my dad to go to the movies. He just gave me $10 and told me to go with my uncle. Once we were there, guess who we see? My dad and a woman. He's gonna die alone. I hate him. I'm tired of my friends asking me "hey what's your ps4 gamertag?" I don't have none. I never had a game or a console. Questions you might have: 1. What about your mom? She died when I was 4. My uncle said my dad always argued with her.2. Don't you have someone else to help you out? Nope. Only my uncle, my friends, and hopefully you guys. My friends can't do anything since they're all underage. 3. Why don't you just suck it up? I wish you were here to show you how hard it is. Growing up as a kid, I always believed his lies. I thought how I was raised was a good thing. But as I grew, I learned. He'll never change

Despite the fact that I am 19, don't have a job, but still live in my parents' house, and that makes them keep saying that I need to contribute somehow for the sake of the house (cleaning/cooking...), that, as long as I share the same roof with them, I'll have to obey their orders. I've told them that is only going to worsen our relationship. I've told them that I won't obey them, but I will respect them, which is different, 'cause respect implies doing something because you like/admire the person, and obey implies do something because you have no choice, making you hate the person... I can't explain my point of view to my mom and dad, what to do!?

I dread the day my parents will die. They love me, take care of me, and would do anything for me. I think about it and i cry. my mom smokes a lot. My dad used to drink coke a lot and eat junk food but he changed except his driving can be bad sometimes. I dont want them to die :*(

Sorry, this is kind of a rant! This is really complicated but I'll explain the best I can. I am 15 and I will be living on my own very soon. My mom, stepdad and sisters are moving to a house that's far from my job so I'm going to take over rent and bills at this house so I can still work. My mom will be buying me food and other household necessities. My boyfriend (16) wants to move in with me but he is a total slob! I am not talking about the -leaves the toilet seat up- kind of slob (he does that but it's nothing compared to the rest). He leaves everything out of the fridge and doesn't help clean! He uses every possible dish for me to clean. He leaves on lights too which is really expensive! The only thing he helps with is cooking (and eating everything). I want him to live with me and everything but I am afraid of a few things. 1) Will I starve because he eats so much? 2) How will I keep the house clean? 3) How much worse will it be when he's living with me? I wouldn't break up with him over this but it's driving me crazy! How can I tell him he's a slob without starting an argument? We have never argued before but I'm afraid this might start one. My parents always argue with each other when the cleanliness of the house is brought up and I don't want that happening to me :(

My 16 yr old receives child support from her father and recently I received review papers to fill out to make sure that she is receiving the full amount that she should be getting. Remind you that she has not had a review in 16 years and her father is paying very little to her. My younger daughter receives ssi death benefits because her father passed away 2 years ago. Does anyone know will that effect my Child support?

i had a lot of memories of him and I when i was little. im not friends with my sister on fb.

My bf (of 4 years) and I have been living together for 10 mons (along with my boys, ages 13 and 11). His brother killed himself 8 months ago. To this date, he's still withdrawn from us. All he does is go to work, ride mountain bikes, and spend time with his birth family. At home, he hardly speaks to my sons, let alone do things with them. Before we moved in together and his brother killed himself, we used to go hiking, movie, eat out here and there. Now, basically I'm on my own with my kids every single weekend. Weeknights he would spend 3 evenings training on his bike at his parents'. For the past 8 years, my sons' dad lived in a different country. Needless to say, he doesn't spend a lot of time with our kids. So, even with the current circumstances (my bf doesn't really talk at home and only comes home to sleep), my boys still love him. They are just happy that my bf is around, and they think he's "nice". I know my bf is grieving and still very hurt by his brother's suicide. I also have my own family to look after. My sons' well-being is number one. I know it takes time and compassion from my end, but what if he never recovers and will stay the way he has been forever? I don't want my sons to get hurt by thinking he doesn't want to bond with them or love them. It's a 4-year relationship...should I leave? Or give more time??

I really need someone to create a dxpnet.com account for me, I've been banned over nothing and I can't make a new account. It takes nothing from you, you just make an account, give me the username/password and you'll never hear from me again. There's nothing I can do with anything that's yours, the site doesn't even have an e-mail option, you will NEVER receive mail from them or ANYTHING. Thank you!

so my dad is albanian and he got remarried after my parents split. This summer im supposed to go to albania with him but my step mother (his wife) hates me because i spend time with my dad. they dont love eachother and she also beats the three kids they have together. What should i do about the trip?

My parents don't trust me and it's annoying. They practically think I'm having sex with every dude like tf... I'm always home and they're always monitoring me... How do you think I could do that. I can't go out and be a normal teenage girl. People are always asking me to go places, but my parents are always like no. I know they are just trying to protect me because they found out recently I was being abused by my cousin alot when I was younger and they for some reason had no idea... even though it was in the house, while my mom was there, but anyway, I truly feel like I should have some freedom because I was perfectly fine when I could just chill at peoples houses before they knew about my abuse.

Every day he comes home from work he is in a foul mood. He either wants to sit down and ignore me or complain about what I did or didn't do that day regardless of whether I had to work or not too. I'm tired of my good mood being ruined. I love him dearly but I'm to the point of feeling rage when he comes home because he's never happy, just in a bad mood. What should I do?

I'm 27 and I haven't seeny dad for two years. Finally seeing him in August for four days as he's travelling to Scotland to see me for four days but not sure what todo. Goin to edinburgh on his last day as festival is on but not sure what else to do. Any ideas?

My dad is a complete asshole. He only cares for himself and my mother (sometimes). I am 100% sure my dad molested me as a kid, but of course, no one believes me. I can remember from a young age, my dad never really cared how I felt. He always says no to everything. If I ask him if I can get a pack of gum from the store, I get a no. My mother is somewhat the opposite. My dad works days and nights from 6am-6pm or 6pm-6am. Those are my favorite days because he isn't home. I want to tell my mom that I want he to divorce him, but i know she'll get extremely mad. I've tried telling her how I felt about him but she just got mad and said I'm "overacting" or "exaggerating". How do I handle this? I've tried asking if I could live with my grandparents, but they both got furious afterwards.

I admit I am 26 and need to move out. I am a female. I go to school and I do try. My parents have always been in financial crisis and always need money. I do pay money when I am working and just payed 300 dollars total to my dad for rent or whatever is needed. When I got my school refund check he asked for half of it and I gave him $900 for rent. I also gave them my last $60 when they needed to go out of town to handle business. I don't play victim and I know I need to be on my own. But my father can be mean and belittle peopl . Always seems like nothing is ever enough and I always seem to feel like I owe something. I feel like a prisoner in my own home like I have to pray every day there will not be drama. I plan to move out. But have no car and when I asked to be taken to work or interviews he STILL gets upset at me. I have given money and I don't just sit on my butt. He even talked about my dead ain't HIS sister while she is dead saying "she wanted me to give her a kidney and that's was not gonna happen" for Pete's sake the lady is dead smh. He always has something to say and no matter how much money you give its not enough. I don't want to be around the negative energy anymore. Its hard to focus and get on your feet around that negative energy but I am trying. He's a grown man and acts like be has beef with a 26 year old female. I think something is wrong with him like I said I do pay and try. I paid 900 to keep us from getting evicted. What do I do.

Hi my parents are going throw a divorce they I live with my dad on a farm and campsite work for him but dad thing she's going to have to sell up and I'm worried about loosing my home and money me my bf lice far away I don't know if I'm going to be able to see him anymore I'm in Dorset he's in Yorkshire and he doesn't have a job because know one will give him one and my dad pays 430 pound a month and twice a month I go up and see him but I don't know if I will be able to anymore and when my bad needss help with money I help him out but I don't know if I can do that anymore and sometimes he has to starve what can I do how can I get money I'm so stressed and upset what shall I do help

So I'm a Canadian and I moved to Malta about 4 years ago. It's alright here and I have more friends than I did back in Canada. Sometimes I see photos of my bestfriend and it makes me realise how much I actually miss it there, even though I was only 9 or 10 when we moved. It's just way better there and if I were to give differences, I'd run out of characters. Anyway, my dad keeps asking me if I wanna stay here or go back but I can never answer because I only have one real friend in Canada and I don't really wanna be the new kid when school starts up. Also, my parents are split and that means that if I move, I won't be able to see my mom. I just feel like I'd fit in better if I were around people who are more like me. I can get over my friends, it's just my family. I'd really miss my mom. What do you guys think?

My boyfriend came over, my dad has a day off today and the last minute he said he wanted to see his sister because she is leaving on Wednesday. He sas her last weekend and yesterday there was a family party but they didn't go because she was sick.. he can't go tomorrow cuz he has work and me and my boyfriend see each other once a week.. im in love with him , I want him only no other man exists. But I said I won't see him next weekend me and my family are going sonwhere and I wont be able to me bf.. Not seeing him is so painful and its the hardest thing for me, he yelled at me it was so frightening he said "Get out of here, I dont wanna talk to you anymore." I became so depressed after that and I usually always hang out with my Dad and He loves my boyfriend. he called me selfish but I really didn't mean to be.. what should I do?

My father is verbally abusive and tells me bad things and goes on and on about the bad things about me. He expects me to listen to him rant about how dreadful I am. It's getting very annoying since I am an adult. He has a business, that he expects me to work in for him for free. I do get food and I take money from him but not much so that he will notice. I recently got into a car accident and he is going to fix my car but he tells me everyday how I'm a loser and this is the last time he's going to help me. If I mess up the car again, I'm going to be on my own. I am also going back to school and he puts me down about that. My goal is to hurry up and finish school and get a good job so that I won't have to rely on him. I am so frustrated listening to him put me down all the time. If I answer back, he gets more and more angry. I don't have much money so I was going to use his internet for school. If I get internet at my home, and stop going to help him, I will have very little money for food. And I'm kinda scared to cut myself off from family. What should I do? I am an adult woman.

When ever I do anything she doesn't like, she makes me feel awful about myself. The main concern at the moment is she doesn't like my boyfriend who had really hurt me (emotionally) to a mother it's un forgivable and I understand/appreciate it. What I don't appreciate is how she calls me names over it, she doesn't talk to me and when I talk to her she barley is responsive. I have no relationship with my mother and she blames the boyfriend. I have no relationship with her because she makes it that way, she can't trust me because she makes it that way, I wants nothing to do with her because she makes it that way. We could have a normal relationship but she prevents it all by creating false thoughts in her head. It hurts me so bad and there is no way I can ever get through to her unless I speak to my father and he talks some sense into her, even then it never lasts for very long. I don't know what to do or how to deal with this.

I'm 24 years old still living with parents and I want to go on a 2 week vacation to S.Korea to spend time with my bf who lives there. I had already bought the flight ticket and I'm supposed to leave tomorrow morning but I haven't told my parents about it yet, nor have I packed or anything. I Just don't know how to bring it up to them that I'm going cause I know that they are going to tell me that I can't go and that if I go, not to come back or something along those lines. I'm out of ideas and ways to make them comprehend that they can't be treating me like a little girl anymore. Any suggestions?

I have a problem, every since Obama was elected to POTUS, an ever growing gulf between my now 70 year old father and I. He will call the president the "N" word, and has become very, very angry at Black people in general. Last year we got into a heated debate that became an all our argument about Blacks in America. It took almost a year for us to move past the incident. The funny thing is, growing up in the South, he and my Mother were very forward thinking when I was a child, telling me and my sisters that we are all the same. To judge people by actions not color. We made an agreement that we would not discuss politics or anything inflammatory to the other. Now to my problem, he keeps making comments that he knows I disagree with and then as soon as he makes his comment, before I have any opportunity to respond he says, "Ok, we don't need to discuss Politics". as if to say I want to tell you what I think, but don't tell me what you think because I do not want to hear it. This has happened countless times. How do I deal with this, it infuriates me and pushes us apart. I want to be close with my father, but I can not deal with hate or bigotry.

The spouse's sibling, I mean.

Which of the following sentences is written correctly? Mother gets a bit of family news, whenever my aunt visits her Mother gets a bit of family news whenever she visits my aunt.

My parents embarrassed me so badly on Saturday. I was having a sleepover with some of my girlfriends for my birthday. My parents came in after they'd been out. They said hi to us and went upstairs. A few moments latter we could hear creaking upstairs. It got louder until my mom got loud. Fortunately we couldn't hear most of what she said, but we all hear (and I quote) "oh baby yes, harder, harder big man". I am so embarrassed. My friends heard my parents doing it. I don't know if I can show my face in my school. How can I deal with this kind of embarrassment.

My grandmother is 84 with arthritis. She DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!!! She says it's hard for her to get around, but she doesn't do anything to try to better her situation. She says she just doesn't want to do anything. HOW SELFISH!!!She just lays in bed all day waiting for me to do everything for her. She constantly wets the bed (sometimes craps the bed), and I'm responsible for cleaning up behind her, too. She gives me $200 a month, which is not at all close to what professionals get paid for. She's riding high, comfortable in her room, not doing anything, while I'm so uncomfortable and mad all the time. I've tried telling her how I feel, but she just says "stop doing things for me." This is unrealistic, and this would make me feel guilty. My grandmother has a wheelchair and medical insurance which gives her access to medication to gain mobility, but she has an excuse for not utilizing these things. WHAT DO I DO????

Ive been looking for a job for 4 months. No luck.

i did ask her to help me move. and i paid for her plane fare, hotel bills, and meals while she helped me pack for my move. she worked hard and helped me some what. there was no coercion involved. in fact i told her she could quit anytime and leave if it was too much for her. finally i sent her home on a plane in Nashville because her nasty behavior had become too much for me. then i gave her a check for $500.00 when she got home. my mother saw her tear it up. i fear going to visit my mother since my sister lives with her. advice ? opinions ? thoughts ? i can't ignore her because she lives with our mother IN THE SAME HOUSE. so that means i can't visit my mother in her house unless i wish to risk a confrontation with sister. what about that ?

I'm 14 now, and make about twenty thousand dollars a year. I do not work much, just spend about one and a half hours a day writing novels. The first novel I wrote was when I was 13, and since then I wrote and published (scholastic publishes my books) many. My parents used to have hourly paying jobs, each making about 15 thousand dollars a year. After my books began making money, my parents quit their jobs and began expecting me to pay for food and bills. They just spend their days now sitting in front of the TV drinking. I do not want to be an author when I grow up, but rather want to be a biologist. I really want to save the money for college (both me and my brother want to go to the same college), but with my parents expecting me to pay for everything it's become hard to save any amount. I tried talking to them about it, but they screamed at me saying that they spend 12 years caring for me and this is how I want to repay them. So far, I only have three hundred dollars saved, and I believe that my dad will take the money soon. The problems do not end there. My parents made me drop out of highschool, saying that I could be using that time to make money instead of wasting it on education. That really saddened me, as I loved going there. School was the only escape from home, and they took that away from me. I thought about moving out, but I am not sure if it is legal or not. And moving out would be very rude to my parents. In addition, I am not sure who would take care of my little sister or little brother if I go away. My twin brother is too busy with school for them, and so I am stuck in that home. I am always very depressed, and wish that I never even started writing. But now that I started, my parents would throw a fit if I stopped, screaming and shouting at me. Sorry for bad grammar and/or spelling, I wrote this in a rush.

My mom told me she left my biological dad before I was born because he was verbally, sexually, and physically abusive to her. When she became pregnant with me she knew she couldn't have me growing up in that world. She married my dad four years after she left. I never felt bad about not being his biological daughter because he loves me as much as his biological kids. I've always been very close to my dad and am a proud daddy's girl. I'm 22 now. Recently my biological father contacted me in hopes to meet me and get to know me. I want to meet him, but I feel like I shouldn't. I told my mom about him contacting me. She told me not to go near him because he's dangerous. She got very upset he contacted me. I feel like I shouldn't want to meet him so badly. I got lucky enough to have a great dad for as long as I can remember. I feel like that should be enough for me, but it isn't. I want to meet my biological father so badly. I feel like I've always had questions about him. Part of me wonders if there will be a piece of my life filled if I get to know him. I have so many questions for him. It would mean a lot to me if they were answered. I am worried he may still be dangerous, but there's something inside me telling me if I don't try to meet him I'll always regret it and wonder 'what if'. Should I meet him or turn it down? Why do you think so? I don't want to tell my mom because she'd be furious if I meet him. I don't want to tell my dad because he'd tell my mom.

My fiance grew up in the boarding school because his mother abandoned him as a baby and never tried to contact him. Miraculously 30 years after he found her and she leaves in Hawaii. He is ecstatic and talks to her every day. She was going to come here to visit and finally meat her children but somehow plans were changed. He told me that she feel uncomfortable meeting everyone at once and she d rather meat him first. Ok, what s a big deal. The problem is that he wants to see her on her birthday which is only 7 days after my EDD! When he told me about his plans i was shocked and really hurt that his sons birth meat less for him. We also have 2 other children together and they are only 3 and 1. My mom is coming from different country for 2 months to help me with them while i m taking care of the infant. Anyway after arguing for 2 nights he bought the tickets. I m so hurt! It feels like I just had a reality check and a huge slap across my face! He is saying that i should understand him!

My BF and I had a Big Bang Theory moment( good show). We were in the grocery store and we got in a stupid fight over soup. I wanted Campbell, he wanted Chunky, looking back, we could've just got both. Anyway, our 6 year old son was with us. He had to watch us fight. I saw him getting worried so I gave him a hug and told him we'd buy him a toy to make up for it. BF said " Why, it'll just collect dust" I made him buy it. Was I bribing him?
