The ent said its optional and I said yes but now I regret it and want to tell my dad I don't want it but I don't know how.

They moved last year for job reasons, so I was playing with them online we are both 12. She was screaming so her dad spoke to her and then I heard the door slam and her telling me "My dad says your a bad influence." Now I m scared they won t be able to come for the summer and it s hell if I m not allowed to talk to her.

My dad will call me and my siblings multiple times a day to just ask what we are doing, what we ate for lunch/dinner, he will call me just to ask what my brother or sister are doing, etc. Sometimes we don't answer the phone and he will call over and over again and when we finally do answer he will question us about why we didn't answer the first time he called. When this happens he usually does a weird quiet baby voice and tries to make us feel bad for not answering. He also likes to pretend like he can't hear us so we have to repeat ourselves over and over again just to make us angry.. He has told me that he enjoys making us angry. Sometimes when I am on the phone with him and I have an emergency and have to hang up he will say something like "is that more important than your dad?" Which makes me extremely mad. I have tried telling him how it is not normal to call so much but says that is how he is with his parents so that is how I should be... When he tells me this he says I should obey him. Other times when I tried to explain to him that I cannot answer the phone all the time & explain that I have a life he tells me how he is a part of my life and that other things shouldn't get in the way of us talking. My siblings and I are all over 18 & we haven't lived with my dad since we were really young. I'm not sure how to deal with him any longer. How can I deal with him? I feel like I am being harassed.

I have been sensing this for a while but i kept ignoring it as i never saw anything but by the way he talks to my sister is odd today my little sister told us in front of him and my mom that last year when she was sitting on his lap he put his hand inside her underwear!(she didnt say it in a concerned way, just said it in the discussion) and she swore to god about it. She is 10. then my mom gave him a look and told my sister that if he ever did this again slap him. and he became red and denied completely. Noting that the age difference is 20 years between my parents i always sensed it i am a boy btw and i just want to know if it is 100% sure, and how to deal with it.

So my mum has hit me through my whole life, and eventually I told my friends who told my school who told the police. I didn't want a big deal to be made out of it but she was charged and I think it's stopped her from ever hurting me again. This was last year. I know she won't hurt me anymore but I can't help but flinch whenever she moves and I get so scared if she's in a bad mood that she's going to hit me. I used to have panic attacks whenever she hurt me and I still get them sometimes whenever she's angry because I'm so scared she'll do it again. I don't want to tell anyone incase police get involved again, I love my mum and I just want to get over this fear of her but I don't know if I can, so what I'm asking is what should I do to get over this?

I live by a busy street. My son ran outside yesterday and was hit by a car. My sister blames me for everything. It wasn't my fault I ran after him but it was too late I'm feeling so guilty. I'm asking God why? And I'm thinking of so many things I could have done to save him. Seeing him get hit has traumatized me and he died on impact. What can I do to accept the fact that he's gone?

OK, at my house, my dad has full custody, but my mom is living with us. My mom is on probation, but my dad won't tell her officer because it might backfire. My mom wants money all the time, and she's trashing the house. She thinks the house is hers, when it's not. She's always telling my dad to give her cigarettes, and wants pills. We can't get her out ether! Please help!!

So I'm a 15 year old girl and getting my permit next year, my mom has a 2006 GMC Envoy and is planning on giving it to me for school. Growing up my dad took me to car shows constantly and basically older cars have grown on me, so much that I want one. Now before you saw anything my dad has a all black 1970 Chevy Impala and he had another one about 2 to 3 years ago that is gray and quite rusted. He had sold it to my uncle on his side of the family for I think $1400 and he has not driven it AT ALL. That poor things been sitting in his garage the entire time with **** piled on it. He's had that thing 2-3 years and hasn't driven it once and she runs so that's not an issue. She just needs new shocks, etc. My dad told me he sold it to him so if he ever wanted to he could just buy it back. But when I told my dad, "Can we just get the 70 back and mom can keep the Envoy?" And my dad answered back with, "You want to drive that rusty thing?" And I said, "rusty cars need love too and he's not driving it." My dad proceeded to tell me that my uncle wouldn't give it up he's sure of it. It makes me sad because I wanna drive that car more than anything, I wouldn't leave it, I'd use it. After all that's what a car is for, to drive. What would you do in my situation? Do you think I could get the car back? How do I convince my dad? My uncle?

I have 3 sisters and I love them deeply but my older sister has been acting like she is my mother and it's killing me inside. My "real" mother is always busy at work and since we have no father influence (passed away when we were young) my older sister is effectively the boss & controls everything. Growing up my older sister has always been the dominant sibling in the family (6 years older than me 22-16) & pretty much she always felt she was gods gift and deserved the best of everything. Despite this we get on great most of the time but she is always telling me what to do & if she doesn't like a girl I am dating she will tell me to dump her. The fact we also share rooms makes things more complicated but she will leave for studying in Sept. Sometimes she will cuddle up to me and be the best sister ever and I love her a lot but she is such a control freak at times.

I am currently 17 years of age and i live full time with my mom. Her and my dad have been split up for over 4 years now and hes been paying child support monthly ever since. I graduated from high school and now i am currently working full time (40 hrs a week) for a dollar more then minimum wage (12$). I work hard for my money and since im starting up school again next semester "in 3 months", im trying to save every cent i can so that i can afford my car and gas, ect. I drive a old beat up Volkswagon Golf 2001 that i payed for myself, of course my dad helps me pay for my 1way insurance. I play football and i have a girlfriend so im never usually home anyways during the week, maybe 2 out of 7 days. So just recently my moms making me pay her for rent. Some families have teens help out financially because of an agreement between themselves and i understand that, but as a legal guardian shes obligated to provide me with all the basic necessities. And not to mention shes asking me for 50$ a week. Ive offered to pay for my own groceries to help out at lease but she just refuses. Ive tried talking to her about expenses and everything. Not to mention as well that i work more hours then her a week. She works roughly 25 hours and ive tried talking her in to getting a new and better job but she just refuses. Also my sister just recently got kicked out but shes 21 and just finished university, but i understand that, shes a little older and capable of living by herself. Is this fair?

They are both 12 and for as long as I can remember they have ruined every single day of our families lives and I have had more than enough of this I don't know how much more I can take. I have a sister who is five and a brother who is 14 and my mum is a single parent. She really struggles a lot especially because of their behaviour. They both have some form of autism or ADHD and literally all they ever do is cause arguments for the fun of it and hit each other and other people with things and throw tantrums when they don't get there own way. They aren't even nice people they are spiteful and manipulative and I'm not exaggerating when I say that all day every day is a huge screaming match between them. I have mental health problems myself and they really make everything in my head a lot worse for me I can't live like this anymore I really want to kill them and then kill myself. Someone please give some advice.

My boyfriend is too stupid cause he gets angry when I say your mum is annoying but he calls my brother annoying too, is he too much "son of mummy"

My boyfriend is too stupid cause he gets angry when I say your mum is annoying but he calls my brother annoying too, is he too much "son of mummy"

I knew before I got with him that he had a history of violence - he wasnt a particularly nice teenager and he used to fight a lot and got arrested on a few occasions. Not just out of spite, but he has no control over his temper. He was an alcohol, a drug addict and a teen dad. He ranaway from home a LOT, living all around the country. He was with his son's mum on and off for years, but he found out she was constantly cheating on him and she even told him that it wasnt his son after he was born (but he is). He really does love his son, I know that for sure, but she doesnt let him see him because she has her own grudges against him - he admitted he used to be quite violent towards her, but never without being provoked. and I know from experience that she likes to provoke people - he knows even if he takes her to court, his criminal record, his past drug addictions and his abuse towards her will make the decision for him. He has a bad temper, I know that, but he;s never once even tried to hurt me. I once had him so angry that he WANTED to hit me, but he instead started punching the wall and broke both of his hands. He never goes out anymore, he never drinks or takes any drugs aside from smoking weed but since he's been with me he's managed to cut down a LOT and started spending money on things he actually wants or needs, or on his kid, or on me, which he never did in the past. He doesn't have fights anymore, no matter how angry someone makes him - he thin thinks of it in the sense that he has a son, what good is he to him if he's dead or in prison. He's trying to get a job, but he has horrible luck and every time something comes up, something is in the way but he's still going to the job centre every week, still searching for jobs whenever he can, and going out applying for jobs. I do believe he's changed, but people tell me not to without even knowing him. Apparently you can't change your nature. But I've known him for a long time now... I told him I wouldn't stay with him if he didn't do anything about his anger issues and the first thing he did was go to the doctors and he waited for months for them to refer him to a psychiatrist but he's still going and he's still trying to improve. We've argued a lot less than we used to - before we were arguing every day, but we havent argued now in months. I'm not trying to fix him. I'd like to make him happier - he was my best friend for a year before he became my boyfriend so he's a friend before a lover and I care about him a lot and I know he does for me too. I haven't ASKED him to change anything, he does it by his own accord because he wants to be a good dad and he wants to settle down with me. Every time I do something to make my life better, he does too. I apply for college, he applies for a job. I quit smoking, he stops spending moneyonit When I first got with him, he was spending a hundred pounds on weed a fortnight. Now that I've quit, he doesn't spend a single penny on it. His mum gives him a spliff here and there but that's still a MASSIVE difference and Im proud of him for it, i know it's not easy for him. I've been with abusive men in the past, and they never TRIED to change and I know he is, he's nothing like that. He has actual problems, aside from just being a d*ck. He needs help and I'm there for him. His son's mum used to be his greatest downfall - she used to just make him angry beyond belief. But i told him getting angry isn't going to get anywhere, and the last time she rang him shouting abuse down the phone at him he stayed perfectly calm, just said he's contacting his solicitor and that any communication they have from that point onwards will be through him. He broke down crying to me not long ago about how he doesn't know what he's meant to do; he wants a normal life, but he messed that up before he even gave himself the chance to try. His mother and his brother are very corruptive forces in his life - his mum is lovely, but she doesnt help him at all. She just gives him weed constantly, and when he was younger rather than try to discipline him, she'd just kick him out to fend for himself. His brother is a drug dealer, he tries to cause arguments and fights constantly, and he keeps everyone up all night having sex with numerous women.

I am a 20 year old female, I have a full time job and still live at home with my parents. Ever since I can remember I have been conscious of my nose, it is long and I have unfortunately inherited my dad's bump in the middle, causing it to look very much like a witch's nose (the best description I can think of) and from the front it goes to one side. I remember being in primary school (6/7 years old) and having kids ask what was wrong with my nose, I was fortunate to not be bullied in secondary school as I was very confident and had a lovely group of friends. Unfortunately, since putting myself out into the big bad world, my confidence has just plummeted. I feel so insecure about my looks I can't stand having my photo taken, sitting in traffic or even just walking around town. Strangers do make the odd comment, but mostly it is just disgusted and shocked stares when I am in public. I have gotten to the point where I feel so insecure I have secretly gone to several meetings and consultations with surgeons to have a rhinoplasty. Only two people in my life know about this, and they are incredibly supportive, however I physically cannot bring myself to tell my parents. I cry about this all the time and it is stopping me from being the happy person that I was. I have 0% confidence and it is making it incredibly difficult to find a boyfriend, and I don't think guys would find me attractive at all. I really don't know how to approach my parents, I would love some advice! Thanks

My sister is 16 and I am 17. My parents are always threatening to put us in foster care because we don't listen to them but it's the complete opposite. We in fact do everything we're told my parents yell at us because we mostly live with our sister and they just want us home to boss us around. (Won't get into much detail but i kid you not they just boss us around like get them food or water or change the tv for them) It's insane. But today my parents we're talking about how tomorrow they were going to take us to foster care. Long story im sorry but can they?

so my step dad molested me down there last year in August when he was "drunk" and my mom was prepping for his birthday party. But that's not the only time he tried to molest me. It also occurred when I was 12 and he touched the bottom part of my breast. should I have called the cops so that I could live with another family or? He keeps trying to open my door for some reason and he pretends to do something downstairs (my room is downstairs) I suppose he just stands there and listens to what I'm doing. Now if any one touches me I'll get frightened and have a flashback. Any suggestions to where I can talk to someone about this, someone that will actually help me? My mom already knows ALL about this but doesn't care. That's what hurts the most, seeing your mother with the molester and she doesn't do anything about it. It's a relief that I will turn 18 next year and move out.

In the past she used to hit me and so i went to live with my grandpa. I was with him for a year an 7months. My dad moved me back at the hospital. The baby daddy doesnt get to see his child at all what do i do?

i'm turning 15 in 4 days and my mom and i have had a rough past couple of weeks . we have always had a bumpy relationship but this time it seems like she doesnt want me anymore . My brother is graduating and moving out in august and it will just be me, my mom and dad . My dad is pretty cool and okay with me . But with my mom its like any little thing i do sets her off. Shes never in a good mood ever . She's not like my friends moms she doesn't do mother daughter things with me EVER and she had a strong relationship with her mother like her mom accepted her for who she was and acceptted all her mistakes . My mom on the other hand only remembers the bad things ive done never anything good. She doesn't accept me and my likes either . I said i like how nose piercings look and she just disagrees and say i'm wrong they're ugly . Shes only hapoy if things go exactly her way shes really dramatic too . My father planned a vacation for us then my mom refused to go just because something didnt go her way. it's embarrassing when my friends ask me things about what stuff i do with my momcause i'm like.. uhm.. nothing really.. i thibk she hates me and i wanna know what i should do

I'm not close to my family anymore, for about the last 4 years. That includes my only niece. We almost never talk anymore, except she has gotten in touch around b-days and xmas to tell me what gift she'd like. She contacted me about 6 months ago claiming to be pregnant and needed money, but it turned out she "lost the baby"-- though I doubt she was pregnant. Anyway, she now emailed me to ask if I could give her money to buy a car. I don't feel like I'm responsible for getting her a car. Her parents aren't able or willing to help, and apparently my mother (her gran) has "too many strings attached" to the loan. The other issue is-- I'm unemployed and trying to start a new business so the money would come from my husband, and frankly, I'd rather put 2-3K into my business. But then again, I know I'm the only stable, normal, financially secure person in the family so I feel bad knowing she doesn't really have any support. Opinions

I know I probably sound really selfish, but hear me out. I'm a very introverted and shy person. I don't really like hanging out with other people. I would much rather be by myself. My mom is always telling me how I need to get out of the house more, but I do get out of the house. I ride my bike around the neighborhood whenever the weather is good. So I guess by getting out of the house she means I need to actually hang out with other people. She just doesn't seem to get the fact that I prefer my own company to the company of others. This summer she said she is going to make me go to all the teen programs at the library. I'm already doing a competition thing at the library this summer, but I guess that's not enough. I'm also trying to find volunteer opportunities that I can do, but I guess that's not enough either. She makes me do all this stuff and then she complains because she has to drive me everywhere. Tonight she is making me go to this teen party at my church with my older sister because my older sister wants to go and my older sister will only go if I go.

This might sound bad, but I have a lot of pride. So does my dad. Like, if someone tells me they love me, I have too much pride to even say it back. I want to get involved with church again, but again I have a hard time admitting my feelings. Please help. No rude answers. 10 points to best answer.

When I was young I crossed my older brother's line with some stupid stuff and he stopped talking to me for four years. Not a good situation. We patched up and are cool now. Likewise I had a close younger cousin of mine who became extremely annoying so I stopped associating with him. He was saddenned. Later as he matured he realized that he was unbearably annoying and we are cool now. I have another younger cousin of mine who has been testing my patience for quite some time but we are close, as his mother was like a sister to me when we were young and we lived together (his mother has also been testing my patience). Her child crossed my line of patience by stealing from me because he was mad at me. He returned my property promptly with a (I consider half assed) apology. I plan on no longer associating with him (at least for some time like a couple months). That day he perhaps an hour after the apology (I was at my aunts house), he was leaving with his mother and extended a dap/good bye but I ignored him. (His expression was damn I really messed up). Not sure if I feel guilty. GOW:With my brother I apologized to him probably 100 times over the first month after our incident for what I did and he did not let it slide. The idea being that an apology doesn't make up for the action. My little cousin apologizing to me didn't release my anger that he stole from me in the first place (I've never had a friend or family member steal from me before ever). Stop associating is a standard response to pple who repeatedly decrease my utility.

My mom is a drug addict and smokes pot. She also steals my money, demands money, and steals other items of mine. My dad tells me not to yell when I get mad at her for it. My dad still hasn't mailed his income taxes in so I can get student loans and he acts like I'm not suppose to yell at my mom for doing these bad things. I'm 20 and my plan is to become an MRI technologist. My brother who is 18 is majoring in Computer science. Do I really have to support my parents? I don't want too since they don't care about me or my brother.

Okay so, my mom wants things to be fair between us, so if one of us can't have something neither can the other. Last week I asked my sister to draw my OC (original character) and she refused because she said she was "Tired of drawing for everyone but herself". Because I can't have what I want draw, now neither can she. My mom forbade her from drawing her stupid pictures and took away all her pencils until she agrees to draw whatever I tell her to after dinner until bed time. And if I'm satisfied mom will give her her pencils back. Like I said, it's been a week and she's still refusing. She's 17 and is acting like a child about it. She said she was depressed, but that's the biggest lie ever, if she was so miserable she'd just do what she's told. When she needed to borrow my phone to call her friend I didn't act like a brat, I just gave it to her. Why does she think she's entitled to seeing her characters drawn but I can't have mine drawn? I can't draw, or else I'd just do it myself. Anyway, now she hasn't spoken to me since then, and has hardly spoken to mom, she refuses to come down for dinner, I don't know what she's eating but I know she'll give up soon and just do what she's supposed to. But how do I get her to break sooner and just draw the picture so she can stop moping and get her stupid pencils back?

So my uncle is verbally abusive and threatens to slap my mom and throw me and my sister out but at the same time my mom, my sister, and I live in a different uncle's house because my mom can't work because she has to take care of my grandmother. And calling child services isn't an option because then what will happen to my mom? Any advice or any options left? Because at this rate I only have the easy way out.

My Child is 4 years old, her bully is a 9 yr old neighbor girl. This child was 4 when she befriended my infant child, but over the past few years the neighbor girl has been acting very mean and stuck up towards her. Of course kids kid older and want to hang around kids there own age, but its not necessary to be mean to the young child that you started a friendship with years before. She tells other neighbor children to ignore my child when she says "Hello", she tells them to NOT play with her. She even called my child 'stupid'. I know kids go through this, usually at the hands of older kids, but what should I do first, to nip this in the bud? The neighbor girl lives in a home where her father has been in and out of prison and he verbally and physically abuses her mother. But how do I put a stop to her antics with my 4 yr old. My child has no clue she tells other kids to ignore her, but I know, I've actually seen them turn there backs own her when she tries to talk to them.

I want to buy an iPod 4 on the internet from glyde I have all the money but I don't want my parents to know. I am going to be in summer camps a lot this summer so I don't want the box to be sent and my mom to open it and find the iPod so is there a way to get it sent without my parents knowing?

I am 17 year old girl, I want to be a vegetarian but she is against it because she always says you need meat and youll be sick if you do. Plus I said ill be making my own meals and i know alot more than her on the subject. I also want to own alot of reptiles and be a reptile breeder. She says you will end up dead on the floor by a snake and that is too many animals to care for. I know extensively about alot of reptiles and take excellent care of my snake, lizard and two frogs. Another thing that happened is I asked her about counseling bc I have a bad depression most of the time but she just says those people only want money and theyll never care about you. I thought of counseling bc i have lost so much like my cat and dog in the past 2 years and that put a strong impact on me, our house which we have been living at my brothers since, I also have 5 sisters and 3 bothers. Plus my living conditions are totally intolerable and its so stressful and I have absolutely no space or quiet. I have thought of suicide or foster care but I just dont know about life anymore. I keep asking when we are leaving but she doesnt ******* know for the past 2 years. My life is unbearable. I do have future plans but no one to cheer me on with my accomplishments. What should I do?

Now she won't talk to me, which would seem good from the usual nagging (lol) but I feel bad that yelled. She was telling me I did dishes wrong, then talked about stove top not being clean, etc... then she started with "look at this..." and I didn't want to hear it. I just yelled "WHAT?!" and said I was sorry right away. She went to bed and slammed door. I tried apologizing again, she wouldn't listen. Wouldn't talk to me today either. dang

My mother wanted to take me somewhere with her that meant a lot to her. I got dressed and went to her, she looked at me in shock and said my outfit was 'too revealing'. I was wearing loose-jeans and a flowy, floral top that covered me up. I went back into my room to try to find something else, and I put on a Long sleeved shirt that went down to my waist. I went back over and still she said it was too revealing and ugly. She barged into my room and scavanged through out all my clothes. She then yelled at me for having nothing. She left and I started to cry. Ten minutes passed and I was still laying on my bed crying. She tried to tell me to do something and hurry up, but I just played down and cried. She came back in and said I need to hurry up and I said 'I'm not going.' She looked at me with such disappointment that made my heart shatter. She left and walked outside. I could hear my dad ask her where I was and she just angrily yelled 'ITS JUST ME.' I broke my mothers heart, and in the process, broke mine.

so this morning i was sleeping and my mom came in and poked me.. (i'm 16 years old) she wanted to wake me, i agreed that i would get out of bed in 5 min, she agreed but kept poking me so i started pushing her away and telling her to stop. SHe kept coming started to irritated i grabbed her arm to pull her away. i accidentally grabbed he arm with my finger nail nail and her poking me and mocking me pulled her arm away and accidentally she cut her on my nail. she got furious shouted at me started confiscating my stuff. i didn't refuse. she afterwards came in and hit me with full power 5 times (no we don't have a violent relationship usually) i didn't react i let it happen because i felt bad about what had happened. so after her being angry a whole day she came up and said she wanted me out of the house and she would rent me an apartment.. she keeps saying that next i'll probably beat her up.. also i did apologize and i did say it wasn't my intention but she somehow reacts as im a hardcore violent drug addict with no self control........ so my question is how do i deal with this ****? im confused as ****.. she isn't injured she just got a little cut on her arm. and i repeat i don't have a violent past.. im usually used to taking small hits from my sister when she is mad.. but aside from that there isn't any violence in our family...

My half-brother, who is now 17, is running away from home because our dad beat him really bad last time. My dad always beats him as far as I can remember b/c they never agree on anything. I know this isn't a reason to beat a child but our dad is really strict. I'm never beaten, though, since I'm a girl! Even my mom, who is my brother's step mom, often told my dad to stop but he said she shouldn't meddle when he was trying to discipline HIS son. My brother is quite a wild child in the sense that he never listens to our dad! Actually he's not bad at all at school, but lately he always hangs out with older men (I mean, really older, like 30s), and my dad hates it. I really don't know if my brother is gay (I hope he isn't), but he stays overnight a lot with one of them. I don't dare to ask him, but I overheard my dad asked him and he said it's not my dad's business and that was how it was started. And b/c this time my dad beat him really hard he said he would press charge and he hasn't been home since (we know he stays with the said man). What would happen if he does? Would my dad go to jail? I mean, I don't want that. Should I testify too? My dad beat my brother with a belt and slapped him several times, so I guess there are bruises. Once (but not last time) my brother got bloody lips and nose. Is it enough to send my dad to jail? I'm afraid. I'm sad too b/c I wish everything's all right and my brother would come home. How to fix this up?

I am from Pakistan. A muslim. He was catholic, from Sicilia. He came to Pakistan for 11 hours to handover holy water to me, so I recover from my health issues. He loved me dearly. I adored(still do) him. We got married after great struggle. But.... then his mother came in the scene. Very religious. She is from Napoli. My husband was under her dominance. Her house, food, car, and food. Clothes. He majored in a 5 languages ( English, Russian, German, French, and Chinese). He was basically a precious soul. But he was scared of his mother. 3 months after marriage, he got a job! After 5 years! After 8 days of job I got pregnancy test positive. His mother got insecure. She started throwing tantrums. Pretended to be ill. To get his attention. My husband got scared, and stared avoiding me. I was not allowed to cook food for my husband now. She said I burn oil...it was an excuse to isolate me. From 11 am - 3pm then from 7pm till 11 pm, job. Or online lottery, or his mother's tarot cards. They never took me to the doctor. I had a preg test on stick 3rd month of pregnancy. Chips and biscuits. I asked him to be independent. He said OK. WE'LL GO ON RENT. One day his mother anounced that it's her house, her Kitchen, HER food. My husband couldn't do anything. I was hungry often. Husband at job. Mother in law yelling around in the house, on phone. Excuses... I revolted by packing my suitcase. Husband got angry. Hit me. My cousin fetched me. Husband apologized.

I'm 14 and ever since I was little my mum was an alcoholic. I had a nice upbringing with my two younger brothers and both my parents married and still are together. She was never physically violent but when she drunk, which was daily, she was depressed and argumentative. I was around 10 when I began to notice and it really affected me, it made me anxious a lot and very upset. I couldn't understand why she wasn't like my friends mums. Long story short it 2012 she went to rehab and has been sober ever since. A couple nights ago last week her and dad had a friend round for a meal and she got tipsy. I didn't like it because it was the first time I'd seen her drunk since. I didn't confront her and hoped it was a one off. But today she was acting different and I saw a wine glass on the counter, but she was cooking so it may have been that. I left the room and when I came back the glass had disappeared. Hours later I noticed she has a light red wine stain on her shirt on her chest and her eyes are all glazed. I'm so scared she's drinking again, what do I do? Thanks

so my brther and i have always hated eah other but it's got seriously bad recently. he's abused me in every sense of the wrd, even sexuakly as he once tried to force me to suck his dick. he also pinches my but and calls me a filthy whore even when i've never even had a boyfriend. the worst is usually just the verbally but sometimes he get's really physical too. it always starts with him being annoying, and then it starts to drive me andm y mom up the wall so i'll ask him to stop and he'll start flipping out and caling me a loser, slut, btch, etc. and when i retaliate he hits me, but when i don't it just gets worse. if i dont say anything at all when he's being annoying he'll start getting closer then hit me if i don't say anything and keep going. it never stops until i brek down and start crying. but today he slapped me and i think it'll leave a bruise so i can actually call someone or do something abot it. my parents think it's normal sibling rivalry but it's gotten really bad now. i'm 14 he's barely 13. i'm taller, but he gets a lot ore brutal and he never get's in trouble unless my dad's away and my mom sees me crying. but i get in trouble if i so much as yell at him since it's "not like me to act like that" and i "should have just ignored him in the first place". what should i do? i can't have him arrested we're both just minors and my parents think it's normal. ill get in trouble for telling probably. my mom says i'm being hurtful whenever i ask her to put him in therapy or something and that saying those things about my brother is really mean. and i'll also get in trouble for telling the people at school. one time my teacher asked what happened to my arm and i told her brother had hit with a stick (he had) and so she called home and my parents grounded me for making them look like bad parents and making people think i'm being abused.

I feel like my brother gets way more freedom then I do! My brother can basically do whatever he wants. Last night my dad was furious with me because I came in at 11:00 when my curfew is 10:00. My brother is 18 now but when he was 17 he would come home at 2 or 3 o'clock in the mourning and nothing was said. He gets away with everything, He can bring different girls home but my guy friend can't even come sit in the living room. He got his first tattoo at 17 but I can't get one because I'm to young, that makes no since! My stupid brother thinks the whole situation is funny and kinda throws in my face that when he was 17 he could do whatever he wanted. My dad and I just got into an argument about it and he took my car keys! I'm stuck at home while he's out living life. Why do dad's treat their daughters different even though we're more responsible

So my big brother is like the best brother you could ask for, he helps me out if I have a problem, can keep secrets(and doesnt black mail me) plus he got me a iphone 6 on my birthday so I wanna return the favour. His birthday is in augast but I wanna plan ahead, he's in the navy and is coming out in augast for good now.

so my friend is having troubles at home and his mom wants him gone and his dad is not nice and he does not want to go into foster care because he doesn't trust anyone but me he does not live in a good area and he does everything around the house but his mom doesn't want him fro some reason and i was going to ask my mom and dad if he can move in with us but i need help convincing them to let him move in with us. (i am i girl and he is a boy) (both 13) and we have been friends for like 4 years i need help because i feel like if i don't help him i will just let him down

I can say that no dad would ever love his daughter like the way my dad does. I am 15 years old having leukaemia and not responding to treatment. The doctors are not sure if I will be alive. I love my daddy very much. He has always been there for me. He is now totally depressed about the possibility of losing me. He lost my mom 4 years ago after a truck smashed her car. Sometimes he cries at me saying " I can't lose you too. I love you more than anything in the world " i don't want to be a burden for him anymore. I wish I rather be dead because seeing my dad like this causes me more pain and depression than cancer. I could not take it anymore

How do you know if you are getting a used at home AND at school?

when we eat, most of the time I make my own food because what they eat is unhealthy. I normally just start with a meal and I will sometimes get seconds on what I ate. It's not like I'm taking it from someone, they make their own food. If I go back for seconds, she'll say, "you just ate" or "your already hungry again". She gets on my nerves so much! It drives me crazy! And it's not like she's the skinniest person in the world. I make healthy food and I get healthy seconds. She won't ever listen to me. And the next thing that gets on my nerves is I make homemade frappes and she begs for one everyday. I make four a day.... And they aren't even for me! It's time consuming and they aren't the healthiest things in the world. She is literally obsessed with him where she will beg or threaten to take my phone away if I don't make her one. Ugh help.

I am a 14 year old girl who found out my father is cheating. I was using my fathers tablet which is linked to his phone and there was this message which was pretty strange so I clicked on it. I am very close with my parents and at the time I saw no harm. It was a women. He said he loves her . I don't read their messages only gaze for key words. They had sex ... Multiple times . Her kids love my dad and now I'm crying because he always acts like the perfect father and husband and I don't know why he did this again . My parents been through a lot. Not enough where I want to share online. I didn't tell anyone but my best friend who lives across the country from me. I have an older brother who is 19 and been through hell because of my parents and takes my father side with almost everything and a 12 year old brother who disposes my mother . I feel terrible because I love her dearly . He abused her for years ( my dad) along with drugs and alcohol by his side . My family of both sides hates us because they didn't want my parents to be together. We have no one . And now I am just so lost and confused on what to do. Please help. xx

I have picked up electrical work in the time being before I start back to school, but my grandfather keeps telling me to stick with it because "we need an electrician in the family." I am tired. The work is very boring, but takes away much of my energy. All the work is on hotels thanks to my lovely boss. The same type of hotel. 4 floors, 32 rooms on each floor. It's so boring. I don't have the mental fortitude to workout and run anymore because I'm so tired all the time. I go to work at 7 and leave at 4. I get home and I sit on the front porch and talk on the phone to a friend or I help do some yardwork around the house until about 7:30. By then I am literally falling asleep on myself and am ready to take a shower and go to bed. I try to be asleep by 9:30 every night, but sometimes that doesn't work out because I don't get respected for my bedtime. That's not a huge deal, but people at work have been telling me to go back to school and they all talk about how they have no money, and this and that, and it really depresses me. I have joined back up for the Army reserves because I need insurance and to get dental work done really badly because I have had gingivitis since my braces were removed, and I am at risk of losing my bottom teeth. it will help with school, yes, but I also have to be in better shape than I am now to stay in and everything. I haven't been able to have the time anymore to go see friends or family as much and that drags on my mental state too. I want to run

On the way home from church today, my dad blamed me for fussing about my friends, and I didn't fuss about any of my friends because I was talking about somebody that is a year younger than I am. Also on the way home from church today, my dad blamed me for blubbering about my friends, and I didn't blubber about any of my friends because I was talking about somebody that is a year younger than I am. On the way home from church today, my dad blamed me for starting to throw a fit, and I didn't start to throw a fit because I used to throw a fit when I was little through when I was in 4th grade. I am tired of being blamed on for being the oldest. I wish that I had a older brother like one of my friends from High School does instead of a younger brother, but instead I am the oldest. I am sick of being blamed on for being the oldest. I wish that I had a older brother instead of a younger one. I feel worried that if I get blamed on for being the oldest, then I feel worried that I would get pregnant at age 16 instead of at age 30 if I get blamed on for being the oldest. I am upset and frustrated right now. Why do I get blamed on for being the oldest? Can you help? Thanks.

Me and this girl have been together for quite some time. I love her, she loves me but her dad is well, a Jesus freak and doesn't really like me. How should I go about this?

Okay so this is my fault to a point but ugh its everything.... She said she would take me to eat for dinner but I said I wasn't sure I wanted to go out. So she left to work for awhile and the place was closed, I know what I said but she never asked or made sure. Anyway it kinda got worse from there I wasn't doing my job because she has to help(I admit childish) so she started saying I was irresponsible and this hurt me I know this time I was but I keep my grades up and basically take care of myself so it hurt. Anyway I ended up doing it with her then she kept saying "I'm sick of this attitude and I don't think you should live downstairs" (I live in basically a downstairs apartment) she's irresponsible like moving us after she's tired of a place or getting a new boyfriend all the time (its been awhile since she had a boyfriend but still so many)I act like the parent which upsets her, I'm not supposed to tell my sister anything, I guess I understand in a way she is the adult. Anyway she's not around a lot or doesn't talk to me much because I live down stairs she never comes down there ever...and never asks me how I am. Honestly I feel kind of left out my sister and her always have plans but I dont . and this is the bug problem its like she forgets the next day. I want to move in with my aunt because she's trying to make me move again I have all these friends, it really hurts me she keeps ignoring me and talks about how I'll make better ones. She never apologizes it my fault

They regret giving birth to me and compare me to other people in my family wishing I could just be like them.

Everytime it is my birthday I ask for cleats but she make excuses like "For Christmas". But I don't get them for Christmas either. All I want is a way to convince my mom.

Im a 13 year old girl, and idek if i should be alive rn. This weekend has been the worst weekend. On Saturday my dad had me vacuum my stairs so i started doing it then the vacuum fell and my dad screamed at me and got on top of me and started slapping me because i might have broken the vacuum. Then it happened again and it fell on my toe and my toe started bleeding and wet to get a band aid and my dad scream at me and picked my up, put me against the wall, and started hitting me. I was literally in tears the whole time and he said if i kept crying he would lock me in my room until the next day. Then today,i asked to get Chinese food so my parents told me to look for a restaurant that was open, so i do that but then my dad started screaming at me again because I didn't say anything, and i had an "attitude," i wasn't saying anything! My dad screams at me on a daily basis and frequently slaps me and stuff. I hate him. My mom yells at me a lot too, but doesn't get physical. She just yells, and yells, and yells... I don't feel comfortable around either of them. I don't tell my mom like anything. I've had my period multiple times but I just use my moms tampons, and I don't even wear a bra. I just don't feel comfortable around my mom.Honestly right now, both my parents hate me and I want to kill my self, I haven't even said half of the things my parents do. btw I live in one of those like small white people towns where everyone is "perfect" and goes to college lol. What should I do?

I'm 13 and I moved to a new school. The first mistake I made was sending a bra picture to this guy I was talking to. I told my mom & she said "don't ever do any hoe things like that again" and laughed and thankfully didn't tell my dad. Next, I lost my virginity to my 14 year old boyfriend. Nothing bad happened, I used protection & I'm definitely not pregnant. I just had to tell my mom because I love her and tell her everything, and she got mad and told my dad! Then they told my grandma and now everyone is mad at me. They let me see my boyfriend and friends and let me go to my 8th grade dance, though, but it's been a few months and they're still pissed. I feel so disowned. It's so hard to not give into temptation at my school because everyone is bad. I've been asked to do drugs, alcohol, have sex with so many other guys, nudes, and anything else bad you can think of. HELP: WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THEIR TRUST BACK?

I turned 18 and my parents still think it's ok to yell at me for going to bed late('late'' in their opinion is past 11 p.m.), still think it's ok to give me a curfew and are really stressed over my birthday party(even though they aren't giving a penny for it) because it will be during the night. They won't even let me have beer there(the drinking age in my country is 18). If I remind them I'm 18, they get mad and say things like ,,Ah, now you're playing that card!'' And please don't tell me to move out, it would be nice to afford it. So, a way to make my parents realise i'm not a baby anymore?
