My sons father has been in and out of his life for 3 years. Being that we were together threw out the pregnancy, he was a great help for the first 2 weeks of his life and then after that went to kid mode. He's never really helped out much emotionally or financially with him. I was always the one spending money on him for everything because you know, that's what parents do. His parents help babysit while I worked sometimes. Bit recently they don't help do that because every time the fathers weekend comes uP he pawns our son off on them so he can lay around. His brother helps out tremendous amounts. But his father doesn't ever call him, ask how he's doing. His Thursday visits just randomly stopped one day, so now he only sees him every other weekend and usually finds a way to get out of that Friday he is supposed to have him. I have to drive my son to him because he doesn't have the gas to get him. Yet he has the gas to see his gf who lives 2 hours away. His first payment of child support was due this month which I haven't seen yet. What would you do in this situation?

I'm 1st grade of high school, but whenever I think about telling her I give up because she has too many problems now and she alway talks about how hard it is for her; This year dad left us and in court he made himself look like he has no money so he could keep his money for his girlfriend and motor etc. She was really hurt but except that my older sister(21) has mental illness and treats mum and me badly and has no order in her life but she refuses to see a therapist because she thinks that mum only wants to get rid of her. She also has a very tiring job and I feel I'd be selfish if I would make her think about this too. Also, we won't have enough money for horseriding and I love horseriding and I want to get a part time job so I could earn money but I doubt she would agree to that..

Should a babys half sister be responsible to watch their parents 3 year old baby or should the parents be reponsible since its their baby and half sister is 17?

I want to know if parents laugh at the eldest child who has the small penis, and treat the younger one with the bigger penis like an adult because my eldest brother has a small penis and when my parents found out they laughed at him, and call him the younger child. So do some parents laugh at the eldest child of the family who has the small penis?

I'm 16 years old and i am on a week long trip to Spain with my family. While i should be having fun and out with my family I'm constantly just worrying and crying because none of my friends are even texting me and the ones that are are sending me snapchats and pictures of them all together and not even responding when i tell them i miss them. I guess this might be normal but I'm literally going to the bathroom while we're out at dinner in beautiful barcelona and crying because of these things. Is this just normal teenage hormones? I literally feel like they hate me or something which is just stupid (i think..?) I don't know I just wish I was at home

Ok well my mom opened a business where she has to be available 24/7. It's been a year since she opened it and I'm really happy because she deserves it. So I really want to move from state, but they say it's difficult. My dad works too and I feel so selfish but I really want to move. What should I do to stop feeling like this? How could I convince them that we should move? I know I'm being selfish but I really want to move because of personal reasons.

Me and my ex broke up 2 years ago. We were together less than a year but during our time, I got to known his immediate family and they all love me. He has 4 brothers and 1 mother. We had the same friends and of course I kept the friends. But ever since we broke up (he cheated on me), I moved to a different city, went to school with 1 of his brothers (who I consider my brother too), and wrote all of his other brothers (because they were in jail). I started a relationship (which I'm still in), when I was in college. I moved to be with my boyfriend. I still wrote to my "ex" brothers in jail and kept talking to the ones who werent and his mom. My boyfriend didn't like that I knew these people so I slowly cut off all contact with them. I'm not sure how any of them feel about me now, but I do miss my brothers (they're all older than me). I wish I could see or keep in contact with them. Especially since all their friends don't like them or don't care to visit or write them in jail. I was a positive influence on them but when I left, they went back to their crazy ways. I know it's not my place to "change" them but I still wish I could be there for them? All my friends and family tell me to leave them alone. I feel torn. What do I do?

My mom has only cried once where I could see her in the hospital because I was bipolar and manic. She doesn't seem to show much empathy. Whenever she finds out I cut myself she just raises her voice and says every time, "why do you do this to yourself"? She just doesn't understand. When I was younger she didn't show much affection towards me or my brother and looks uncomfortable when my dad hugs her to this day. I'm 21 btw. She's been like this ever since I was a toddler from when I can remember. She would punish me over something stupid like when I was six I accidentally slobbered on the car. Today, we got in an argument and I told her later that I was sorry I got mad at her. I had asked a couple of hours prior to that if I could go to the salon. She said maybe like she always does. So I asked her again after I apologized. She took it the wrong way and said, "he told you to tell me this so you could go to the salon". I said no that I wasn't on the phone and she said, "yeah right". I told her that was rude. She then said you're not entitled for me to take you everywhere. And I said I understand that and I know you're not going to take me but I do buy gas for your car once a month. After I said that, she didn't have anything to say. I said this ridiculous. She replied yes it is. I had gotten upset earlier when telling her I needed to lose weight and that I was fat. I have aspergers, bulimia, bipolar, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. what is wrong? I try my best.

My sister is 19 and Im 17 yrs old. My stepmom and my dad had a baby when i was 14 and my sister was 16. Ever since He was born WE are responsible to watch him. Everyday after school I HAVE to be here to watch him after he comes home from daycare. My sister ends work at 6 and I have to watch my brother starting 5:30 we cant do anything. We cant leave the house or go do our hair or anything because of my brother. We stay at our moms house for FridaySaturday and Sunday. My dad and stepmom sometimes make their own personal plans and we can only stay with our mom for 1 day or 2. This happens so frequently. Im so sick of this. My sister and I have been basically acting as our half brothers mom for 3 years straight. Without one day of resting. If we mention this to our dad or stepmom they say we are selfish. What should I do? we have a step brother who lives with his dad and not ever did he watch our half brother. And he is really stuck up so he WONT do it. Its so unfair and we dont get paid or anything. My dad and stepmom never say thank you. My sis and i cant live our life or spend time with our friends or mom. Its not that we want to go hang out with our friends EVERY DAY but we want atleast a whole day of freedom. We are getting older by the day and my schedule is wake up go to school come home watch brother and repeat. I feel so depressed and angry. My sister and I never show our anger to our dad or stepmom tho. They are really selfish. What should i do? Should I confront them?

Its been about 2 years since i have moved from my home country to USA. My Parents and me ae depended on my Uncle financialy(we also live in his house) My uncle nd parents were pretty cool bout me going to parties nd having a couple of drinks(they always said No drugs) I was in my senior year of highschool nd after approx 5months i started using weed nd then it was a regular thing.Somtimes i smoked at the house too. My grades were good i had straight A's nd B's and scored 1500 in SAT(which i think is good for a person who hardly speaks English)But after exactly a year of me smoking weed i got caught (because i smoked at my house nd now i realize it was a really bad idea). my Dad was completed hurt and he broke down:(My uncle said he is never gona forgive me for smoking in his house and also breaking his trust. Now my parents are pretty cool but my Uncle and his family arent. Now i am in college nd work 7 days a week, nd d only way to earn their trust back was by gettin good grades nd staying clean. i was clean for majority of my spring sem but still did not manage to score good grades cause of work load. After awhile Istarted smokin it sometimes to get rid of stress from work nd school. But now i feel guilty idk why? I dont smoke cigs and drink alcohol 1ce in 3months Idk what to do now, i am confused nd i think i should stop using it just for the sake of earning their trust back. But i know weed is not bad cause i have done research on it. Please help

I m 14years old and the other day my cousin (same age) was chatting with her sister but then i got a bit suspicious cuz i was walking in front of her and they started giggling then her sister who s elder told me my cousin said i was handsome and i thought she was kidding but then my cousin started blussing and giving the awkward denial.What does this mean?

I guess I should start from the being.. When I was 3 my mom and dad got a divorce and my little sister was not even a year old yet. When I was around 4 or 5 my mom met my step dad and they got married. My step dad as always been more of a dad to me than my real dad. When I was 11 I was at my real dads house and I was attacked by a pit bull and my mom and step dad acted like they cared so much. They were withme threw all the treatments and stuff. Now I'm 15 and I have a boyfriend and we hang out more than most couples do at our age. I come home and all my parents nearly say to me anymore is "do the dishes!!" When none of the dishes are mine. My little sister rarely does any chores and she is 13. I started doing chores when I was 11. My little sister try's to be my mom and it make me so mad. And when I try to tell my mom or step dad they legit ignore me. My mom as always told me that I can tell her anything but I can't she ignores me. I've notice the only time my parents tell me that they love me is when they want me to do something. I'm just so sick of it. It's to the point I cry in the shower so when they ask me why my nose is stopped up I have the accuse that I took a hot shower. I have told my mom that something's I feel that she hates me and she tells me whatever and rolls her eyes and says I have a bad attitude. I don't know what to do anymore. Please give me some advice. Thank you!

my mom Terri, died in October of 2013 when I was 10. I miss her so much I just want to see her one last time.hug her, one last time. hear her voice, one last time. kiss her, one last time. tell her I love her, one last time. the point is I need her. even though she wasn't the ideal mother figure (did drugs, smoked, stuff like that) she loved me and I loved her. even though I had to live with my grandparents and barely saw her, I need her and miss her more than anything. I'm a horrible person, when she first got cancer I thought it wasn't bad, idiot me thought it was kinda cool. I wish I could slap myself in the face. when she started to get better, I was a little b*itch and started being really bratty and would make her cry and laugh in her face. and then when she started getting really sick again and they put her in hospas (where they put people about to die) I went up to her and started crying and said, "I love you so much (or something along the lines of that)." and she said, "I always have and always will love you." and for some unknown reason that did and always does make me cry. and then she said, "Its time for me to go home (die/go to heaven, since were Christians)." Then I said, "You're the best mom I could ever ask for." and she says, "No I'm not." and I start sobbing my FREAKING EYES OUT. Does the guilt EVER go away? And does it ever get better, like where I can think of her and be happy? because when I think of her I want to cry my eyes out. thanks

I broke up with my ex-boyfriend because he was a cheater (at least 3 times!) and verbal abuser. Anyway, I saw him recently at a party and he cornered me in a hallway. He started getting agitated and then said we "had to get back together." I said "no" and started to walk away when he grabbed my arm and twisted. I broke free and kicked him as hard as I could right in the balls with my pointed cowgirl boots! After I rocked his babymakers, he fell down and puked while I stood over him and asked him if he could taste his nuts. His face was priceless! I guess I nailed him so hard his nuts swelled up to the size of oranges and one ruptured and had to be removed (I play college soccer so I know how to blast a ballsack!). I feel a little bad about what happened but he is now saying he never mess with a girl again and he even wears an athletic cup all the time to protect his remaining family jewel. My girlfriends on the soccer team now call me the "nut remover" and say I should hang up a fake pair of nuts like a hunting trophy on a tombstone background with the words "RIP Brian's Nuts-Destroyed By Girl Power" since I sent his nuts to "nut heaven." Other people say I should hang up a guy's athletic cup as a symbol of female power over male weakness (guy's nuts are so vulnerable and they need the extra protection). Any other good nicknames? And what should I hang up? The nuts? The cup? Both? The more names and ideas the better! Be creative! Just wish more girls could experience blasting a jerk's balls! It is such a great feeling seeing a supposedly tough guy go down with one kick. Must suck to have nuts. They are just two targets dangling between a guy's legs! One shot and it is all over.

I have a dog that I've owned for about six years now and he keeps begging me to get him a kid. Usually I just put it off, but I think he may be old enough now for his own kid. Most other pet owners have told me that I, and not the dog, will end up taking care of the child. But I'm convinced that my faithful fido is mature enough to take care of a child, be it an infant or one of those dreadful teenagers with their disgusting faces. anyways, where can I get a child? it doesn't have to be anything fancy. I would even go for a mix breed since they tend to be cheaper and I doubt that my dog will mind.

we have tried to talk about it and it just seems like it ends in a fight. what can i do?

My mother has sacrificed alot in raising us. I try to keep her happy but she never really seem satisfied. In fact it's the opposite, I bought her a house usually buy gifts for whole family when she visits me.. but this time around I didn't have money to spend on alot of gifts so I told her a couple of times that I can't afford gifts for the whole family we had multiple arguments about that and surely there were times when I was rude to her. However, I still bought a bunch of stuff for her esp. (It is above my budget) But now she tells me that she was v. Unhappy during her stay with me I made her feel worthless etc. These things are hard for me to hear also. After spending a couple of 1000 dollars I wasn't expecting to hear that. I don't knoe what should I do. I love her alot and she loves me too but at this point I don't have a clue of what's going on. Can't see her cry but can't also continue to buy tons of gifts for everyone when no one has ever even thanked me for that.

So I went to a supermarket with mom, she left me inside and went in her car and gave me her card so I would pay. So I crouched down to take the things from the stroller and place them in front of the cashier. When I finished and paid I went to the car with heavy groceries so I was just upset a bit that she left without a reason so I said:"oh god mom I was crouching down as if I'm about to suck someone's d***." Now she doesn't want to talk to me and is "shocked". Whose right whose wrong? I mean I know it's dirty what I said but come on I'm 16 and I'm almost an adult so those things should be more like humor now.. What do you think? She's acting like I killed someone.

So my dad has always been an absent dad in my life and he always used domestic violence towards my Mom and me. He kept mistresses...He did not like my mum because after delivering 2babies she put on weight..He was so proud and rich that he would not even go to my maternelle grandma's house because she is from a lower caste..I was brought up only by my mom.. At present my mom is no more with us, and karma took care of my dad...he lost his job, he drives a very old car etc..Now he tries to socialize with me but that irritates me...I talk to him in a very rude manner. So today We went to the supermarket...at some point, he joined us..dressed like a destitute( yeah literally like a destitute) I tried to ignore him, I made as if that I don't know him.. My life sucks yes..but I hate what I did..on one hand he provides me with money and I can see that he is lonely but on the other I hold a grudge against him since my young age...because he beated my mom and me and also said very bad things to us. I'm ashamed of what I did today..pls help me...what do I do help him or loaf him because of the past?? If you say help...how do I help him?? Mom is no longer*

I'm not an average teenage girl. I got pregnant at fifteen, I barely turned sixteen a couple months ago. I recently moved to Arizona and the father of my baby lives in Texas. I want him to be in my baby's life, he recently got a job to support my baby. My dad won't let him come up for the birth and won't let him be in my baby's life at all because he can't get over the fact that I'm having a child. I'm wanting to move out and go live with him because my child does deserve both parents in his life. If I live with my boyfriend I can also get a job and make my own decisions on what to do with my baby. While here my dad won't let me make my own decisions and get a job. I get treated like a five year old. I can't even pick out my baby's clothes even if I'm the one paying for them and I'm not being allowed to give my baby my boyfriends last name and I wanted to name him Connor but my family says it's "trashy" and won't allow it. How can I talk to my dad about wanting to move out? If he says No, I don't know how I'll be able to handle it.

Ok. So, last night the house was kind of trashed from a party that my mom hosted. She then proceeds to vent onto me about how " I can never have a friend over again" and how " Tomorrow, everything is going to get thrown away" and finally how "This is all my fault and tomorrow the house had better shine when she get home from work." I spent that night crying because it wasn't my fault. I spent the night in my room, so it couldn't possibly have been me who messed up the house. What's worse is that after she yelled at me, she was nice to everyone else. Why does she only hate me? This isn't the first time this has happened, either. I can't even tell her my side, she won't hear it, and my dad will just find a way to blame the argument on me, as well. and tells me that "I'm making the argument worse" when I'm not even allowed to say anything. It's so frustrating. What should I do?

I just can t handle this anymore. My future sister in law is the same age as me. (nineteen) she is the meanest and nastiest person I ve ever met. She has cussed me out, she s cussed out her mom, brother, other sister, dad and baby daddy. She lies to get government money, the baby daddy gets workers comp for slamming his hand in the door (which his coworkers all say they saw him do on purpose) she has two babies and is extremely irresponsible with them. They got a $10,000 settlement lately and blew it on new cars and now they ve won more on lottery tickets. Why is it that I can work my butt off for a small paycheck and she can sit on her butt all day and blessings are thrown at her? She is so mean to me, but she gets everything she wants. Of course I m a little jealous but I don t know how to handle this. I don t know what I should feel or do. She s so mean to me but gets everything i ve ever wanted.

I finally met my dad about a year ago. we actually ran across one another through social media. I saw a picture of myself posted on his page and I instantly got pissed until I realized that he was looking for me. I had been looking for my dad for years with no luck. anyhow we were so excited to finally meet that we kind of pushed the dna testing to the side. he introduced me to my brothers and sister and his wife. he is a very wealthy man. I have just found out today that he is not my dad through my mom. I don't want to lose this man. hes been taking care of me quite well. hes buys me whatever I want. my mother doesn't have his contact info and im not going to tell him. im praying he never asks for the dna test. is this wrong of me? I don't think it matters since hes so wealthy. he has the money to spare anyway well what if I say I didn't know either? I just hope my mother doesn't find a way to contact him

So...My boyfriends step mom wants to move me in. My mom is nuts. She's always putting me down and yelling at me. Well. I had a baby at 15. I really don't want to talk about it...all I'm saying is that it was in no way my fault and his dad is locked away. Anyway. I am now 16 and have a stable job. My boyfriend and I take care of the baby by ourselves and he claims him as his own. His mom is wanting to find a way to fight for custody of me. My mom is mentally abusive. To extreams. And she won't buy anything for me. Shell buy anything for baby, but not even food for me. I get it myself with my own paycheck. Would she even have a chance?

Let's say you've tried communicating with a family member via text and phone calls and for whatever reason you'll are not clicking. Should you keep t ring or give up? I've tried talking to my sister over the phone, #1 she's in the middle of shopping n talking to sales clerk, #2 she takes everything I say literally (metaphors). Even when I text her let's say I make a joke she will explain herself in lengthy details. I find it annoying. I'm sure she find me annoying but we are family. Do I step back or what

My parents are giving me a budget of 200$ a week for college. The college I am going to is 2 hours away and I have been looking for jobs down in that area. I have an interview with a nursing home for house keeping. If I get the job, should I take it? Or just focus on school? My parents don't like the idea but I want to be independent!

Okay so My dad and I are very close. He doesn't really know how to treat me. Im 16 and he just I don't know doesn't understand that Im not my sister. So My dad wrestles me. A lot. Sometimes it gets rough and we punch and kick. But its getting a little to much. He touching my breasts and trying to touch down there and my butt and its very uncomfortable. I tell him to stop but he just says that he is my dad and he can do anything he wants. He sometimes hurts me like I punched him and then he punched twice as hard and left a mark. Or he will squeeze my face. But what really is concerning me is the way he is touching me in "those" areas. Please Help? Advice?

My brother and his wife are currently separated. My brother has had his daughter for 3 weeks now and was supposed to have her until June 21st. They haven't been split even a year yet and they would alternate days each week until she moved about 5 hours away in early May. They agreed that my brother would have her for this time period and they would switch. Nothing has been settled in court so again this is just an agreement between parents. While my brother is at work my mom babysits. My brother and his still technically wife have been having disagreements over custody issues. So she drove the 5 hours to my mother's to pick up my niece. My mom said she just wanted to double check with my brother first since he didn't tell her anything and then my brother's wife threatened to call the police on my mom. My mom got scared and gathered my nieces things and brought her out. Turns out my brother knew nothing about her coming to pick her up. I'm very well aware that she is the mother and has rights to pick her up. However, my mom just wanted to double check with my brother, would the police have done anything?

My mom's mom's sister had a daughter and got married into the B family. They had children together who I know as my "cousins" - problem is, I met one of my cousins' cousins and we are interested in each other, sexually... we want to date. The problem is, we have common cousins although we are not related by blood. What is really going on and how exactly does that make us "related" or feel like we might (should?) be related?? It's driving both of us crazy feeling like we are but really we're not!

Okay, so I have a 12 year old cousin who is sort of handicap. He's highly functional but I was told was that when he was born he never got enough oxygen, so he died & then got brought back. So he's a tad slow and he still wears diapers. (He was never properly potty trained.) Also, apparently someone would use mole remover or similar on him when he was a baby instead of the rash cream. So it's a huge possibly that his anal muscles are more or less burnt away. So he possibly can't ever be potty trained. Anyways, he lives with my aunt and my grandmother in a bungalow. They each have their own room but the thing is, they treat him more like a brother than anything. They leave me home alone majority of the time, if they can't find a sitter or afford it, they just leave him home alone. They say he's old enough to watch himself. Yet, sometimes they won't leave him with a phone. Another thing is that almost every single weekend, they go out partying. They sometimes bring strangers home who drink and everything. During these occasions, they leave him with a sitter or home alone. They're gone until 4 am and leave at 8/9. He's never really had a stable guy in his life and he's secluded most of the time because the other kids don't really like how slow he is. He goes to a special school. They also swear at each other, hit each other, call each other down. (My aunt, grandmother, and cousin) I don't know what to do. I don't want him to go to a abusive foster home. Should I call CPS? Sorry, that was a typo. I'm 19 and live in Canada. My parents know and my sister who's 21. CPS has been called twice. They only investigated then left it alone. I feel like the third time they'd do something. (I didn't have enough space) Another thing is that he misses a ton of school and is pretty much banned from almost every school because he misses so much. Honestly, he's glued to his xbox (literally) all he has in his room is a bed, tv, and a Xbox. His mom frequently pawns his stuff too. Another thing is that, he's highly functional. He can talk, cook, take care of himself. But he's a little slow, I guess that's a trace of autism? I'm not sure. He didn't get enough oxygen to the brain when he was young. He doesn't receive any special money from the government. He's just under developed. I guess he's technically at the age of 8/9. Sorry, I don't have enough space to add everything.

My brother has a 15 month old boy and I think he is an unfit parent, I also think that the mother is unfit as well. He doesnt play with his son bc he's too busy doping up every morning to relieve his "pain", my mother cares for him more than he does, changing diapers, tending to him when my brother is sleeping the day away. He yells at his son for crying, whinging or waking up in thr middle of the night. He spanks him when he doesn't listen to him, he even admitted to once bruising him for hitting him too hard. He has a violent streak and history with me and all previous relationships. He is close minded to any help from anyone, overdresses him for the weather and is flat out childish. Ifear for my nephew everyday he is with him or his mother. The mother already had one child that she didn't even raise and cannot financially care for my nephew, she is always running out of money, constantly getting kicked out of her grandmothers house where they stay. I always hear of my nephew being checked into the hospital, he is always sick, he is always unhappy. he craves for attention and affection and receives it from neither his father or mother. My nephew deserves better than this, but I am unsure if I am overreacting for wanting to call social services/ dcfs. Any feedback is welcome.

I really dont want to go at all. it has been making me sick because I just dont want to go. I dont know why I just really dont want to go and I have been depressed and literally crying around the house because I dont want to go that badly. I am not usually like this and like to go out and do things. My parents cant go. None of my relatives are coming. I am allergic to the lighting in the building of our ceremony. The only person I care about that will be there is my younger sister which she would have to sit alone! And I guess my teachers too. Did you miss it and now regret it? Is it really that big of deal if I miss it?

im 15 going to my sophomore year and my house is so junky. It's been like this as long as I can remember. When I was 8 years old I always prayed and beg my mother to clean the house. She tried but she would always give up. I would try to clean the house but she would fuss at me so much and punish me. I try and try to clean the house but it's to much and impossible! She tells me never to tell the family members about her smoking addiction and house hoarding problem or she would disown me. My dad lives far away and he barly help. I only see him once a year... Sometimes not even that. All I want is to live a normal teenage life and invite friends over but I can't . It's to embarrassing. Please give me some advice. I'm sacred to tell anyone about it cause she threatens me. Pleaseeee someone help I'm sick of living in slop. Garbage bags everywhere toliet and shower doesn't work . Only the sink. Ants crawling everywhere. I even have ant bites on my foot. And she always tell me she's going to clean but it never happens. Is there any videos or something that I could read to give me advice ? Please I'm hopeless.

My ex wife and I agreed she would stay in the district so our son could keep going to his school, unfortunately she met a guy and moved out of town with him so I had to enroll my son in another school district the district I live in now because I couldn't afford housing in the district my son currently goes. I tried open enrollment in my sons current district however it seemed there was no guarantee he would stay at his current school just district. My son seems ok with moving since he is only 7 I know he will be ok. I'm just having a hard time with changing his routine. LOL I guess I didn't have a question just wondering I'm crazy for being upset about moving school districts for my son.

My best friend since high school is 29 and his dad, who didn't come into his life until he was about 21, treats him like he's 16. His dad threatens to take is race car away when they are at odds, usually when his girlfriend is around. His dad came back and married a lawyer that has financed a business and a race team. I have been volunteering at their business to help with the racing; in return I have been traveling with them to different events also working. After all the work I have done there was some "confusion" from his dad and step mother if I was going on our next trip that I have had planned since January, that really pissed me off and I'm considering not going but my friend wants me to still come and help him with his (or his dads) car. I'm getting sick of the attitudes at the track from his father to him, his step mother, and me but I don't want to leave my friend at odds. I asked his dad if he didn't want me to come but I don't think he has the demeanor to give me a truthful strait answer. Is his dad jealous of my friend having a life outside of racing, e.g. me and his g/f? Do I go or do I stay? If I stay do I quit helping them with the business? I don't want to lose my friend, it happened with my ex and it was a 2 year mistake.

So I just learned that my boyfriend son been lying on me. I learned he told his mom that when me and his dad get into an argument that I always bring him up which is a lie. His dad may say something like, "I'll take my son an go." My response I may say something like, "so what bye." His son also said that I always give my brother leeway when he do something wrong, but I'm always hard on him. Which is a lie. When my brother do something wrong I get on him. When my boyfriend son do something wrong I tell his dad. Then his dad get on him. He also been talking mess about me to his mom. This boy is disrespectful you can tell him so op doing something he'll look at you turn his head and continue to still do what you tell him not to do. I'm tired of this 13 year old boy lying on me, being messy trying to start things, and being disrespectful. All I ever did was treating him like he was my own. I financially was there for him more than his own mom. I went his parent and teacher conferences all the time not his mom. In his dad own words, " I'm more of a mom to him than his own mother." His son do stay with us. My boyfriend can rely on his son mom financial to help take care of their son or anything else. I help out more. Since his son and his son mother don't appreciate it will it be wrong if I stop do what I do for him? Im at the point where I have thought about breaking up with him because of his son. Every since last Christmas break when he came home from his mom he's been having this little attitude towards me.

Make this as quick as possible. My entire family's history( both sides my mom's and step dad's) is nothing but money and hatred. My family has wished death upon family members over money, and it's sickening. I'm not free from it either. Money is all they're about. My family makes an annual 6 figure salary.. They buy buy buy commercial garbage that is a luxury and not a need. It's ramen and chef boyerde in the pantry and not actual produce and real food. Luckily at 22 I am attempting to do real estate instead of college. I need to be independent, I am basing all families on my experience, people don't like it.. Then waa who cares. I don't believe in the 'idea' of family. That family is loving and will provide for their children selflessly. Families for thousands of years has always been politics, money and trade. Parents are mostly to blame, not always the child. Parents forcing their kids into a chosen life style, this is why kids rebel, they can never trust their parents.

I'm 17 about to turn 18 in about a month. He does it without asking and good reason he never says thank you, and my mom will never stick up for me or make a new account with me. So I called my aunt (moms older sister) and she said that she would make a different account so that my dad wont be able to get to my money. They've both collectivly borrowed Over $800 over the past year, and I'm tired of it. Everytime I try to talk or say what I feel I get yelled at called a selfish little B**** or just lied to. Up until now I've only been making $8 dollars an hour, and only make $100 or less a week! Every time I ask for my money back all I get screamed at at told: "You're the reason our car insurace is so high! So why dont you try and pay that for yourself." or my mom favorite line "We dont have any money okay?! You're dad spent it all." Is it selfish of me to go behind my mom and dad's back to save what college money I can? I know if I do this everything is gonna go to hell. Is t worth it?

My brother in law is so mean and disrespectful to me. He makes it a point to do so. I've spoke to my husband and he says he doesn't see it so he can't do anything. they are very close. I told him I'm sick of him being so respectful to his brothers wide and generous yet let's his bro be so mean to me. what to do?

My sister threw away my stuff while I was travelling for 3 weeks. I am so pissed off over this. We don't live with our parents anymore, just us two, and as much as I want to forget it, I just can't. This is actually affecting my depression and it just makes me so angry and sad at the same time she doesn't respect me. I have considered throwing away some of her stuff, or burning it, or both. And putting the ashes in her bed.

My cousin's funeral is this Friday, and i'm undecided if i should go. He is my cousin from my mom's side; he's like my 4th cousin and we didn't really know each other at all. My mom is going to support because she's cousins with his mom and they grew up together. My mom said that i didn't really have to go if someone from our family is there to support, but or some reason I think i'll feel a little bad if I didn't go. The funeral is in NY and I live in MD. Thoughts if it's okay if I didn't go?

I have a teenage son John and a teenage daughter Lisa. They are good kids and get along good well with each other. They just like to have fun especially with each other. One night at the dinner table Lisa ask me if she could get some balloons like John had. John said "What are you talking about? I don't have any balloons." Lisa said "I saw them in your desk drawer". "They are Trojan brand balloons". OH MY GOD, am I going to have to have the "talk" with Lisa again. But what she said next told me the "talk" was not necessary. She said "John, do you have to special order the balloons to get the size extra extra small". Should me daughter be teasing her brother like that? John thought what she ask him was REALLY funny.

I'm 17 and a male. I'm from England and recently moved to America. Ever since moving I have been extremely empty and emotionally numb. I'm very rageful and feel shame to my very core, it's very strong and hurts deeply. Everytime I'm told off or rejected I feel shame so deeply it's painful. Instead of dealing with the shame I let it out as rage. I also lost my mum when I was 5 due to a heart attack and never really had much closure or counseling, in addition I've also moved a lot as a child to many different countries and nations. Currently schooling is greatly affected and I'm struggling as I can't focus and lack a drive to want to do well. It's really odd how all of this has unfolded in the past two years, Ive been to hospital twice and have lost all connection towards my dad and step mother, it's virtually non existent. I was doing exceptional in terms of education in England as I always had done, however now the clocks have turned and I'm doing mediocre by my standards... Did the move cause this? Greatly appreciate advice, I'll elaborate on my answer if must.

My brother hurts me mentally and physically. I'm scared of him and I don't feel comfortable when he's home.

Is there a way I can get all of the in laws off of my fiancés di**? They are constantly bugging him, borrowing stuff from him and using him. He loves them dearly which is the issue. I do not like them but I refuse to fight with them because I don't want to hurt my fiancé. So how should I handle this situation and try to get them to back up and respect my personal space? Or do you think I should call off the wedding? I literally ask my fiancé everytime he gets a call/txt who it is. Not because I think hes cheating but because I think its one of his family members asking for money, or asking for him to buy them a car, or take out a mortgage for them etc.... like pretty serious stuff they expect from him.

I'm 20 and going to college. I love at home. So I smoke weed, which my parents hate. They don't confront me about it much. They kind of accept it, albeit grudgingly. So I'm a normal happy guy with a good job, good school etc. The weird thing is that my mom keeps asking me to go to a counselor. I told her that a counselor is for people with crazy emotional problems. I'm obviously fine but she looks at me like I have some huge problem. My family is old fashioned. Why do my parents do this to me? How do I tell them to back off?

I'm living at home right now during college. My parents are respectful and nice to me but my mom is always on my ***. The reason why, I think, is that I smoke weed. Every night I come back late, my mom asks me what I was doing. when I say I'm going out, she asks me with who. She doesn't like one of my friends for some reason too. She convinced my dad to confront me and literally ask me who this guy is and the whole story of how we met. As if he's a drug dealer or something. It's fcking creepy. Is there a way I can tell her or otherwise get her off my ***?

I'll admit to being sensitive, I'm a sensitive guy, I hurt easily. I'm a single dad to my 15 year old daughter. She loves pushing boundaries and doing things she knows are wrong. Her go-to phrase is " I hate you." Then she runs upstairs and slams the door to her room. It always hurts me to hear that, always. Perfect example, 2 days ago she asked me for money to get a belly button ring, I said no, she screamed that she hated me and I was the worst dad ever and was ruining her life." Then stormed upstairs. I'm still getting the silent treatment. I talked to my mom, who said it was normal. I tried talking to her, I get blank stares. Will she ever speak to me again?

Hey so I know how to sneak out through my window which is so easy! I've done it before at around 2am in the morning, so even if mum was up she wouldn't come in anyway. But I am not allowed to go to this one party I really want to go to and I know how to leave and all and I have my ride but all I need is for mum NOT to come in my room from 7pm-12pm. She doesn't usually, only if she wants to tell me something or tell me goodnight. Need help!!!!! Thanks.
