It s always been like that. I don t love them. I don t feel attached to them. It s not like that with my friends and my significant other, i love them. My family is perfectly fine, everyone s trying their best, they all love me, they all care for me a lot because i m the only child in the family. What s wrong with me? Is this a condition or am I simply an a**hole since birth?

All my life they helped my younger sisters more than me. Now the only thing they let me do was go to Italy in 12th grade. That was nice but they always help my sisters help them get jobs (because my mom knows people who get them interviews), help them get the permit and license, help then with internships, etc. I know my mom helped me get a volunteer job but the people used me to do their work and after 2 years wouldn't hire me. Im sick and tired of everyone whispering and helping each other behind my back leaving me in the dust. My sisters say mean things about my parents behind their backs when they failed classes in school, slammed things in the house, cursed out my mom behind her back making my mom cry, etc and I'm the one who gets treated like sh*t. I know everyone is not perfect but why do i get treated bad? My mom thinks its an accomishment i had a boyfriend and my sisters didn't. That doesn't make me feel any good and i don't consider that an accomplishment. Im going to save my money, prove them wrong and go get my permit!

Hi, My Father is a 59 year old lawyer. He enjoys going on long distance trips which sometimes require him to drive alone for up to eight hours in a day. I have a obsessive fear of car accidents and have tried to tell him to stop making this trips my mother has said the same, he just does not listening. He gets paid quite a bit to do these cases and is just obsessed with making money. How can I reason him out of doing this?

My dad is cheap, strict, overprotective, doesn't respect my privacy. And my mom has a weak personality, she never stand against my dad even when it is about her. My problem is that my dad doesn't want me to interact with men AT ALL, I want to study clinical nutrition but he won't let me because I would work at a hospital and there are a lot of men there, he want me to become a teacher in an all girl school or something like that but I DON'T, I can't stand living with my parents but I can't move out without their approval and I know they will never let me, I doubt that he will even let me get married, I don't know what to do. Sorry for my bad english.

There was a young lady who I was homeless with for some time. We were both 18 and lived in the same shelter. We had many problems because we clashed so much. She for one, always followed me around like a puppy. She never gave me space, and when I asked for it, she got really angry and usually exploded on me. So, I saw her on the bus recently and she was telling me how her dad used all of his savings to buy her a trailer for a place to live. Then she continued to whine about him. I know this is none of my business and does not affect me, but it was really hard for me not to feel angry with her. I had to work my way up with a job and many other things to get my housing and where I am at now. She started saying how she didn't have any food in her house cos she used all of her food stamps and asked me to buy her some. I bought her 60 dollars worth of food and didn't get a single "thank you." I didn't want anything in return, but I would appreciate some gratitude. She showed none. She bums smokes from me all the time, when living in the shelter she was too lazy to make her bed and made us feel like we were obligated to help her. I saw her on mothers day and she said her mom would help her clean her trailer. ON MOTHERS DAY! Shouldn't it be the other way around? I know she has aspergers and probably some other disorder, but it is very hard for me to be around her. Even though most of the stuff she does doesn't affect me, am I right to be angry?

Okay,hi everyone thank you for coming to my question. :) Well, first of all my older brother is hurting my feelings for two days straight for now.yesterday he called me "stupid" and today, he called me "ew" and I'm heartbroken.do you want to know my age? 13! And he's 22 years old. I've tried telling my mom but she always defends him :( please help me? 😭😳

I'm 13 and my sister is 14 My sister is sooo annoying! My room has been occupied for the past week and she won't let me use her pull out couch because its "too hot"and she dosent want me to get hot when obviously its not. Shes facetiming her boyfriend every second possble (not even kidding) and when she can't facetime, she texts him. She never wants to play with me anymore. I ask her to swim with me, she says no. I ask her to watch a movie with her because her room is the only TV that has netflix and she says no because shes facetiming her boyfriend. I ask her to help me with moving something heavy ,she says one minute then never comes. She ALWAYS uses my stuff without asking! And then even when I ask her to use her things she wont let me! She screamed at me for looking out the window, and then kicked me. She slammed the door just because I was sitting in the front seat of the car for the first time. Shes so bitchy all the time! She also yelled at me for looking on the same isle that she looked on for my mom at the store. She calls me stupid, a *****, a snob and all those other names. I can't tell my mom, were not close and I've already tried. Me and my sister arent close so the "talk to her about it" won't work. My parents get mad when I say things like "No shes busy facetiming." and yell at ME! They think im trying to be snobby or give attitude but I'm not! I hate her ugh

What do I do? I live with a family of four: dad, mom, my little sister, and myself. I always say bless you to them when they sneeze, but when I do, it's silent. They don't say it to me. I'm 14, so maybe they think I'm too old to be 'bless you' to? But that wouldn't make sense because my mom is 37 and I do it to her all the time. I always feel outcast in this family. I'm loved though. They still do nice things for me and my mom does include me mostly. Maybe I'm just being overeactive?

hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my post. My mom has been married to my dad for 25... they have two kids, me and brother 24 and 19. my father always beat my mom when they argued... he always flirts with other women and when my mom confronts him he simply yells and gets to her face. he always uses the simple excuse that he is the one that feeds the family because my mom doesnt work... i feel so bad that i sometimes cry to myself but i dont know what to do anymore ... i cannot just let it alone

I'm a 19 year old guy and I am living with my parents. I was living at college for part of a semester but I had to move back home for financial reasons. My parents treat me like I'm 12. For example: -When I make a new friend, my mom wants to meet him/her first to make sure they won't be a bad influence on me. -Whenever someone swears in a movie, my mom will say really loudly "THAT'S TERRIBLE!" She told me this was because she wanted to make sure I knew that it's not okay to say "bad words." -Sometimes when we're watching the news, they'll change the channel because they think the subject matter is inappropriate for someone my age. -I'm only allowed to have junk food on the weekends. I understand junk food is bad for me, but I think that if I want to buy some candy or a bag of chips every now and then, I should be allowed to keep it. -Whenever I'm dealing with customer service people, my mom says they won't take me seriously because I'm a "child" and to let her talk to them because she's an adult. And when I try to calmly explain to her that I would like to be treated more like an adult, she says I'm being a "moody teenager" and I'll "grow out of it." She likens it more to a 13-year-old whining about how he hates his parents instead of a young adult wanting to handle certain matters on his own. I don't act like a kid. People other than my parents say I'm mature, responsible, etc. I'm moving back to school in 2 months. How do I last that long without going crazy?

So I moved to a different part of the country last year and haven't made any friends, so naturally I stick close to my family. I am lucky to have a sister pretty close in age to me and we usually get on pretty well. Recently, however, all we do is argue. My brother annoys the crap out of me and my mom seems way to restrictive. Why am I so angry all the time? Is it simply being around them too much? My mom only allows me to access my computer in the evenings, so forget trying to escape through Netflix :/

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 months. Recently I moved into his mother's house (long story short, I'm homeless) We have our separate rooms. Anyhow, his sisters (2) and mother drive me nuts. They're gross! They don't clean up after themselves, they don't take care of their animals (6 fish, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 rats, and my boyfriend and I's dog) I have never seen them feed the rats or fish. And I have to constantly tell his sisters over and over to feed their dogs and cats. And when they don't do it, I do, because those animals don't deserve to be hungry because they have shitty owners. When I clean , it gets messed right back up. When his 16 year old sister gets mad she just lays in bed and screams over and over again. His 12 year old sister is likes to take things that aren't hers. His mother likes to make rude comments to try to piss me off (she does it to everyone)Ive told my boyfriend about things and he defends me but it usually ends to him arguing with his mother and tension. I want to be nice because they're giving me a place to live, but my only idea is to stay in my room all day until my boyfriend gets home. I feel so disrespected. We're supposed to move out at the end of this month if we get the house we applied for. I need help on how to deal with this and not go insane or frustrated every day.

For thirteen years my sister has been the favorite child and for thirteen years she always got what she wanted. I got good grades never said I hate you to my mom when I was angry and tried to always be nice around her. My dad acknowledges me but my mum doesn t care. When my sister wants to do something its always her first. Even on my birthday. I get she is a bit troubled from our move to a different state but aren t we all? How do I get my mom to acknowledge me and am I being selfish?

I want to sell this old Nintendo game system that is in the dinner room under the table but my dad won't let me sell it to earned mnoey from ebay or facebook that really wants it.I've tired to reason with him but he won't sell it because it's very old.Please somebody help me out here and no rude and nasty comments.

First, my mom took my favorite shoes and I haven't seen them since. I asked for it, and she said she didn't know where it is. I think she's lying because when I was away at college, the shoes were always in my closet and never left. As soon as I came back one weekend, they were GONE!! I searched my room everywhere. They were one of my favorites! I know my mother took it because she's the only one who goes to my room constantly. Then, she took some pants of mine that she got fed up with me leaving and then trashed them. She hated how dirty they were and I said I wanted to donate them. She never told me she trashed them, but i most definitely know it was her because she was the only one in the house who whined and complained about them. Lastly, she took two of my wigs and they are nowhere to be found. I came back from college and they are both now GONE! I know it was her, I know it! Sometimes I confront her about taking my clothes and other stuff, but she denies that she did it. I wish she would stop lying and stop touching my stuff if she's going to throw them away! This is why I can't wait to move out one day.

My family gets on my nerves and makes me upset. I asked me dad to buy me lotion and shampoo for my birthday, ( my birthday was on June 19 and I only got one cheap present and my dad told me he was going to get the rest for his next paycheck, he gets a paycheck every two weeks) and I was supposed to get shampoo and lotion, my dad couldn't buy me lotion because of money budgets. He pisses me off so much, he judges me for everything I do. If I draw a cartoon and show it to him he is like " what the hell is that?" or " you draw weird things" and one time I told him I wanted to be a cartoonist, he told me to get a real job. Ever since I can remember, I would always get my presents late because of money budgets and I would always have to get cheap gifts. My dad always buys stuff for phototshops and art stuff which he doesn't use because he never draws. I know I am not supposed to complain, but it gets me angry and upset most of the time. My two brothers and Mom also judge me and It makes me very upset, I make alot of mistakes and my older brother bullies me for that. At school I got bullied, and this one boy lied to me to make my life miserable and made others think of me as a clingy person which I am not. I have social anxiety sometimes because I am afraid people would make fun of me because I am unattractive and they will believe those rumors about me, not every rumor is true.

Ok so if my mother went into the hospital who would have more say, me her son or the mother of my mother (grandmother), if she wasn't married. Who would have more legal right to make decisions.

It s the 4th of July tomorrow! My favorite non religious Holliday. And my moms side of the family is throwing a party/cookout in a public park. I absolutely hate family gatherings. I m the youngest out of all my sisters, before I was born every one was so tight knit and close together, but we all moved to different places and now I barely know them. My family always comments on how tall I am, which is extremely annoying, and they re always asking me about school which even more annoying. Every one is either 20+ or below 9 except for me and my sister my sister is 17 and she s closer to them than I am. I can t tell my mom I don t want to go or she s gonna make sure I go. Should I fake being sick? Please help!!!!! I don t want to spend my favorite holiday where I feel in comfortable

I'm a seventeen year old girl with a 9 year old little brother. He and I usually get along and tease one another. But we love each other a lot. I often wonder how it would feel if I had an older brother though. Do older brothers protect their younger siblings? Do they pick on them often as a sign of love? I'm curious as to how they act towards their younger siblings.

I know this question sounds ridiculously stupid but Im a teenager and teen years are one of those years that are, "I need to wear pretty stuff so people will like me better", and since Im a girl, it s kind of worse. But then, Im a tomboy, and my mom is taking me, my older brother, and my favorite cousin to New York City!! YAY!! Doesn t that sound fun? No. Because when I was little, my mom bought a neon hot pink Juicy Couture backpack for me, but I didnt like it because I was a tomboy. This was back in elementary school, you know, the years where everyone chases each other and acts like a boy so when I was forced (or I was gonna get whipped and screamed at by my mom-yes shes abusive but Im fine since im used to it) to brink the backpack to school, everyone started laughing at me and saying stuff like, "omg lol u like Barbie and Jistin Bieber!!! UR SO GIRLY AHAHAHHAHA". Now I only bring the backpacj to PRIVATE family vacations, but this one isnt. My mom is FORCING me (she threatened to stab me, and btw shes the type of person that when she threatens somethinf at you she will literally do it) to bring the backpack EVERYWHERE I GO during the vacation in front of my aunt, cousins, and btw since Im a tomboy I dont care what strangers think BUT the backpacl is so pink its extremely embarrassing! And my mom os forcing me to bring it to the Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, Times Square, Washington D.C, museums... EVERYWHERE.

Today I was calling for her and I knew she was ignoring me, then I go talk to her and she yells at me and says I bug her way to much and she doesn't even like me. Yesterday I was shutting the window cause it was really windy and my sister yells at me and calls me stupid then pushes me out of her way as she says "move". My mom and I just got in a fight and she started hitting me and pulling my hair and was about to hit my head on the wall. I'm a 15 year old girl about to be 16. I don't let my mom just swing me around either I hit back. She's always has hit me even when I was younger. Not just a spanking. When I was about twelve she hit me on my back repeatly and I got bruises. I don't get why they're so mean to me. My mom and my sister basically go against me and it's just us in the house. My sister takes away my phone, hits me, cusses at me and called me harsh names. It's like having 2 moms 24\7 that always has something rude to say or do. When my sister hits me or yells at me my mom doesn't care and say I "deserve" it. Yes sometimes I do, but they take it way to far. My sister has called me a whore, retarded, and gives me dirty looks. I am not a whore, still a virgin and never even done anything sexual with a boy. When she was my age she was allowed to have boys in her room. Also, if I mess up once my mom says she's not buying me anything, cooking for me, buying me necessities esCan't my mom handle situations a better way?? How can I handle it?

my sons 16. I wouldn't say he's a normal teenager. I don't know what normal is in his generation anymore. His dad left. He loved his dad & with him gone he's gone downhill fast. I've tried everything possible to get him help but he won't take it. He shuts down. He's been having sex & getting high & drunk. His little brothers following in his footsteps. Recently I saw cut marks on his wrist so I asked him & he said he got them from "his girl when they were having sex" but then he told my husband his step dad. He wanted to talk to someone because he felt very upset all the time. & now when he gets mad at me he will yell "mom you're gonna make me hurt myself" it scares me cause he's totally shut me out.

Over a summer camp I got a bug bite on my stomach I was scratching it and my dad walked in at first I thought he knew what was going in but them he said "your door was open" and got all strange now he thinks I was playing with myself and I wasn't and he is telling my whole family I want to cry because that wasn't what was happening

I have a really difficult relationship with my mom, which has led me to believing she hates me. She has an easy enough time insulting me and telling me I'm the cause of her depression, I don't understand why she hasn't told me she loves me, I always thought maybe it was because i wasn't planned and she loves my sister more than me. My dad and other people has said that she loves me but i want her to say it. I don't even remember getting anything so much as a hug or a kiss from her. The only time we ever speak is when we're arguing anyway. How can I get her to be more loving towards me, I'm trying my best?

I'm 19. A couple days ago my mom found my weed bowl in my purse, i've had that in there for almost a year now she was pretty shocked or what not yelled at me whatever. A couple days ago i left my house at 2 in the morning, it isn't exactly sneaking out because i'm of legal age, i went to go meet with my friend and chill, anyway my mom woke up and realized i was gone so she calls me freaking out, i told her to chill that i am ok on my way back home (i really was) and still shes all freaking out asking me where i'm at to come get me. anyway i get tired cuz obviously she is hysterical so i just tell her i'll be home soon chill and hanged up on her to collect my **** and leave. I get home and we argue whatever. She calls my dad makes me seem like i was doing heroin and meth instead of just smoking weed and makes it seem like i went out to go have an orgy when i was just hanging out. They asked me to tell the truth i did. they call me a liar. I said it once again. once again they called me a liar so they kept asking me over and over again. I got pissed off cuz i honestly didn't know what the **** they wanted me to say if i was telling the truth, they gave me "Advice" which is pretty much to scream at the top of their lungs that i am a "drug addict" and that i am a piece of **** pretty much. Moral of the story is that i'm gonna still do what i do and maybe next time if they want to get something across not to attack me whether they are right or wrong. Speaking get's you further. All of my life i've been cupped up in my room 24/7 when i wasn't in school. I've been controlled and over protected and trapped in this house. Now that i can no longer be controlled and no longer fear my parents i will gain back the time lost and have some fun.

I see all these articles about kids and getting them offline, but none about getting mom offline. I know it sounds like a stupid question but I go on Facebook and email less than she does and it really bothers me because sometimes she doesn't even notice what I say because of it. I am dying to talk to her and have a day where we hang out but she is always looking at her phone or the computer, then asks what I say a few minutes later. Help, I am desperate at this point.

I come over to my boyfriends house a lot where he lives with his family. To me they seemed like nice people and i am very polite. Well my boyfriend insists they're actually very mean and that they lie to him and me sometimes. The lies are usually small lies that they shouldn't even have to lie about. Some examples: His parents didn't want anyone using a bunch of water one day so they did something to the shower but told us it was "broken" and couldn't fix it til later. Why couldn't they just ask us not to use it? Once my boyfriend wanted to use the Xbox to watch a movie with me but he couldn't find the controller. His dad acted like he couldn't find it either and pretended to help us look. But when he thought we weren't looking his dad walked right up to the sofa and pulled it out from behind it and turned on his game. He knew where it was the whole time. My boyfriend saw this and i asked him why he pretends to believe them and doesn't confront them? He said it's because he use to and that it leads to nothing but drama. I've been following his lead and acting like i believe their lies but is this really the right way to go about getting lied to? I feel like I'm being taken for an idiot because the lies they tell me are so obviously lies and it's like they must think I'm so stupid if they expect me to believe them. How can i make it obvious that i am not buying the lies without starting drama that i know I'll get blamed for?

So, my family is thinking about adopt a teen boy around my age (15 years old), and they asked me if I'd like it. But I don't know the answer, and I said I was going to think about it 3 days ago but didn't came up with an answer yet. I've met him, and he looks like a good person to me, but I'm not sure if he's going to be a good brother. If anyone can help with this, it'd be great.

im 16. I have 4 siblings. All younger then me. Don't get me wrong, I have a life. I have friends & do sports & have a girlfriend but let me explain. My mom had me when she was 17. She's only 33 now. My dad left right before my sister was born about 2 years ago. although I never liked him it has impacted me a lot I love my mom I really do but she puts so much stress on me when it comes to "helping out" I can't deal anymore. She's gone from 6 to 9 at night usually so all day I'm home with my siblings. It's summer now so when i want to leave I need to bring them plus do every chore around the house. I potty trained 2 of my siblings & have to basically raise them. Their are are 2, 4, 7, & 10. Plus they're out of control. I can't do anything cause I can't leave them I love them it's just too much. Unfortunately, this stress & just feeling bad about my dad has made me do some bad things including getting drunk & high & I feel bad about that but I continue to do it because idk what to do. Is this whole situation wrong? Or is it right for my responsibilities to be so large?

Sometimes when my mother talks on her cell phone, I can hear someone's voice on the other end of the line. But then there are times she will be talking on the phone and will talk with such exaggerated laughter and a loud voice. She's always doing stuff like this to get my attention. But why? She's 57 years old but always acts like a little girl. It's embarrassing and a part of me feels sorry for her.

Im a full time administrator ( 8-5pm) and I have the opportunity to become a recruiter. However recruiting takes a bit more of your time and I would have to stay a bit after hours, have to constantly be checking my emails. I don't find it hard and i feel i can manage the work flow. the only thing is staying late sometimes terrifies me because i want to be able to pick up my boys .. the only reason i'm considering is because the pay. Please i need advice. i'm breaking my head over this.

I'm 15 and he's 14 and we always play 1 on 1's in basketball and always get into huge arguments mainly because of him. Earlier today, I played him in a 1 on 1 and was beating him 29-11 and he started getting pissed and throwing the ball across the court and just quit the game. Then a few minutes later he came back wanting to play another one to 15 and I said yeah. This time he was beating me 7-1 then I came back and was winning 8-7 and then he started getting pissed again saying all I could do is shoot and just talking so much trash trying to put me down but I beat him again. it's getting annoying which makes me mad and want to beat the **** out of him. I need to know is this a normal thing or should I try to work it out with him?

Should an estranged parent visit their adult child unannounced? Or will that make things worse? My emotionally and psychologically abusive parents are showing up at my apartment door and ringing the buzzer/doorbell without being invited. I ignore them, but it has happened 3 different times already. They shouldn't force me into a relationship with them, but they're narcissistic so all they really care about is what they want and to feel better about themsleves.

So I've always had horrible seperation anxiety any time I have to leave my family for an extended period of time. Elementary middle and even high school was miserable. I for some reason didn't notive it through college but I lived home during college I didn't move out. Well I recently graduated and got a well paying job 2 hours from home. I decided to move out and I only made it 2 months and moved back home, but I was able to carpool with another girl that lives here and works with me. Now I'm going on vacation with a friend and it's creeping back up why am I 23 and acting like a big baby?

My sis is 18 and she has a boyfriend Bradley and they've been together for a couple of years since I was in the 6th grade I remember meeting him I'm going to the 9th. My mom thinks that he is so great and respectful but he is really an a hole!!! My dad doesn't really care for him that much he is almost never home. When he is around me he always slaps my sisters butt and stares at me and laughs about it, he makes humping gestures behind her back and looks at me, and whenever my sis invites him to watch a movie with us I hear him trying to have sex with her and asking her. He is nice to her and treats her great but not when I am around apparently. All of her friends and my mom and even grandparents love him but they don't know about any of this he does it to mess with me. I know he makes my sis super happy and I love her. He "accidentally" dropped a condom once and said "whoops sorry bud not for you, for your sister tonight"...and later he walks downstairs (parents not home) with no shirt on and digs in my fridge!!! I can't stand this guy and i know she is 18 and an adult but she still lives at home and I have to deal with him. I can't fight him he is super tall and muscular I'm only 14. How do i deal with this? I told my sister but she says he is joking.

I'm severely obese and recently I have started to try to eat healthier and exercise. For some reason my mom gets mad at me because of it and we have gotten into many arguments over it. Like, the other my parents brought pizza home for dinner, but I refused to eat it. I tried to explain to her that I would rather have a salad, but she started yelling and told me that it was dinner and I had to eat it. We're both extremely stubborn, so we kept fighting and I didn't eat dinner that night. I don't know what her deal is. She encourages my older sister to eat healthier and exercise, but she always makes up excuses for me. My sister and I weigh about the same. She just keeps bringing the junk food into the house. I've been eating like this my whole life, so I usually end up giving in to the temptation and eat the junk food. Because I've stopped eating the junk food it's starting to go to waste and I feel guilty. What should I do?

OK well this happens when I was 8 and he was 13. Me and my cousins would always play games outside. So we did and when I got tired I would lay down in the dirt. So my cousin saw me alone and laid down with me and he started to touch me in the chest. We than heard our cousins come and he told me to meet him in the playground (which I did).   I met him at the playground and he started to undo my pants and play with it. I didn't know what he was doing. He than told me to do the same thing to him but I didn't. So then he took me to the restroom where he told me to take off my pants and underware. Then he started to touch me like he knows what he is doing, then he took off his underware and told me to touch I it. I did but I stopped because I was scared.   Then, about 3 years later he came into the living room and sat right next me he took off my pants. He began to play suck it while he did I looked up at the ceiling and started to tear up. He continued to do this until I was 16. I'm now 17 and what he did is hurting me now emotionally and mentally.   I blame myself all the time and I take full reasponcibility because I know that I could've said something to my mom or to a parent but I didnt. I was the type of boy that wouldn't say anything because I was just to scared and still am now.   What should I do? I need advice because I really don't know what to do from this point on. Thank you for your help in advance. He would get mad when I would say no and call me gay. Why is that?

Every time I ask a question the answer is always no or I do something they tell me and start yelling at me when i don't even do anything for them to yell at me. Do my parents hate me? If so is there a reason? Why do my parents hate me?

I have a Austim brother that is 10 he do everything that will get me in trouble like he says I hit him but it was the opposite way away he hits me in lies about little things but my mom never believe me I don't know what to do

I asked this question before with no details. Basically my sister is manipulative and a liar. She wrecked my mothers car because she didn't tell her she had a flat and she put the wrong tires on the car. My mom didn't have the money to fix the car at the time but she put ended up putting over 500 dollars of work into it a couple months later. The only thing the car needed was a battery after fixing everything. My mom says my sister is not to drive the car and my mom goes out of town. Next day my sister and her boyfriend come up to the house with a battery and my sister takes the car keys. I immediately tell my mother and my sister comes in the house calling me a snitch then starts crying and offering me money if she can use the car. She says she's going to go to jail if she doesn't take the car and go pay her warrants and that she's coming right back so I don't say anything. She was out all night and still hasn't come back. I'm hurt I feel stupid for trusting her. What should I do?

I know this may sound stupid of me but okay, so I'm 15 and I have a boyfriend which is totally normal but I'm in another country visiting my family. And yesterday I went to go see One of my favorite aunt and cousin which her and my mom are sisters by father only. And my cousin is 19 so we are only 4 years apart which is normal here. And then I started catching some feelings for him and we had hold hands and sort of cuddled watching movies with our other little cousin. Liking cousins is totally normal tho because my neighbors are cousins and married and so are a lot of people, but I just really wanted to know what to do, I really love my boyfriend but I like my cousin too

I work at a restaurant and right now i'm scheduled to work July 4th. I think i could trade shifts with someone and cover them the next day and they cover me the 4th. I would do this so that i could go to the beach with my family bc my mom really wants me to and i think she is really mad that i'm not and she thinks i work too much. I'm 16 and a shift leader at my job and work 40 hours a week. But i;m not sure i want to. Like i kinda want to work that day as well as go to the beach but i think i'd rather work. But i'm worried what my parents think of me ( i think they think i'm too social, working, lazy - i never help out around the house and when they ask me to do stuff i complain about it) and also that i'll regret it later on. what should i do?? i'm tired of thinking about it.. 10 points to best answer i think my mom is fed up with me.. like working too much, not really spending time with the family. But i also like my job.. so idk

So I have a some problems (anxiety,self esteem,confidence),ect, but my mum seems to REALLY a bring down my self esteem and I can't deal with it,I can't function or talk to people properally becuase I have it trapped in my head that I am not good enough. She would say things like you never listen or your Ungrateful but that's just general. Last night she told me I was 'ungrateful cow' becuase I wanted to through out shoes that were too small for me?!? And then she told me last week 'everything I touch i destroy' and 'I messed up and destroyed her life' IT HURTS,I have ALWAYS wondered why I throught nothing of myself well I figured it's my mum. IVE TOLD HER IT HURTS MY FEELINGS but she won't listen or says she never said it WHEN SHE DID and I have a therapist and she says she spotted low confidence in me as I can't stand straight (crouch a bit) and always look down,never hold my head high and find it hard to mingle in society. My self esteem is causing problems! School issues,with my friends or going out in public!! I feel sooooooo much better when i think more of myself .. But from my OWN MOTHER it hurts me! She says she loves me and BLAH blah but if she did why would she keep doing this when I tell her not to. I feel 100 times better when I'm at my aunties/grandmas as they always say things like your getting very pretty or your hair is getting lovely& long but my mum never EVER says that stuff?!? Anyone know :( thanks so much, want to feel better about myself&shave confidence

So I recently found that i have spot on my penis and balls and if they dont go away in a week i am going to tell my parents i just want to know they best way to like drop it on my dad to make it less awkward?

My mom divorced my dad and moved in her long time boyfriend into the house with his 35 year old son. They've been living with us for 3 and a half yrs and they pay NO RENT. They use all our things, I have to clean after them, I do MANLY WORK around the house (I'm a 20 yr old girl) and my complaints do zero change! I am the biological daughter and I have a brother, and my mom yells at us 24/7 and makes unreasonable demands. On the other side, her new man and his son just sleep, eat, take a poo and shower. She keeps promising "this is the last year they're here" and "I'll make him do this and that"... 5 minutes ago I saw the son take one of the cleaning products to go and clean his personal car. I told him to buy his own ******* cleaning product because this isn't his and he has no right to take it. He laughed at me and took it anyway. I went to my mom and told her, and she started to argue with me "why do you have to make me angry again?" and the fight ended in her pointing out everything that I'm not doing or everything I've ever done wrong. I'm in tears. I'm ******* done. I have no value in this house. She moved them in without consulting us and it is how it is and I should shut the f@&k up. Last couple of years it escalated so much I have to buy my own groceries, buy my own toothpaste, shampoo, everything and even HIDE it, because these shameless men USE it! There are no boundaries and she doesn't care that they are using her!What to do?!

I'm 14. I hate kisses and my dad always forces me to kiss him. He always says you'll regret it when I die, but I hate kisses. Someone tell me. When is a father supposed to stop kissing his daughter?

today i was at home talking to my aunt about something. we were both sitting facing each other but she was kind of lounging back in her chair and i was sitting upright. i was trying to talk but she kept trying to interrupt me because she wanted to tell me something that happened to her but i wouldn't let her, so she silenced me with her foot on my lips. why did she have to silence me that way by literally putting her foot on my face? and she wouldn't even take it off until she was a few sentences into her story. is it some kind of thing narcissitic/stuck up people do?

I am a high school guy with a very young stepmother. She is the greatest mom any guy can have and I adore her. After hearing other guys my age talk about their mom, I think I am the luckiest guy alive. She is always there when I need help with anything. I have learned so much from her. I was just getting out of the shower and I must not have locked the bathroom door because mom walked in. She was VERY embarrassed and I think she said the first thing that came to her mind. "Oh My God, you are really hung". It was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I don't know whether I should be embarrassed or proud. Can you be both? Should I never mention this to anyone and/or should I have said thank you? You can BE SURE I am going to lock the bathroom door EVERY time I take a shower now.

I am going to college and staying with my brother and his wife. I started to have painful periods. It was 5 days of hell. I could barely function. My doctor put me on medication that stopped my periods. It is wonderful. I don't have these terrible pains each month. My problem is the medication that stops my periods is also a birth control. My mother is a devout Catholic who believed that anyone that takes birth control is going to hell. My brother said we should just let this be our secret and not tell my mother what I am doing. He said if she knew I was on birth control, it would cause her needless worry. Do you think he is correct in us keeping this secret?

So my father is a doctor and makes a decent living for us. However he got on my mom a lot for not having a job and she got mad and got this useless job just to prove a point to my dad. She doesnt even like the job and pay is only minimum wage but shes working all the time. I have my sisters ages 18, 15,13, and 11. I am 16. My younger 15 year old sister watches them but only if i have work. Other than that im stuck watching them every other time. My 18 year old sister NEVER watchea them and she isnt even in collge yet. All she does is partying. I always i have to cancel plans with friends and i think the eleven year old and 13 year old are old enough to watch themselves. When i calmly talk to my mom about this she just says "too bad this is the first summer u have to watch them all day. I cant help i have to work".

I am 16 and my brother is 18. We don't talk at all. I had the best childhood with him and I wouldn't change it! But ever since we became teenagers we drifted into not talking. It kills me. He is popular in school and I'm not. I get scared when I try to talk to him for some reason because we haven't spoken in so long and I'll only think what I'm going to say is stupid so I stay quiet. I always have a thought that he doesnt like me because im not popular with boys and thingd like that. It upsets me that we can't be like any other brother and sister. He gets angry with our parents but I do know he's just being a teenager but it scares me out of trying to get a relationship. He's going away to college in September. I just want my brother back and I don't know how! Please Help Me!

He s 27, I m 17, and he keeps calling me retarded, and I wanna f***ing bash him over the head with a car battery, because when I was 15 he also let power run to his head by thinking because he s an adult sibling he has the right to hit me and when it escalated he pulled a knife on me, why the hell is he still getting away with it?

My grandma has developed an interest in technology and it's slowly driving me mad. I had to teach her everything from the beginning, she even got a tablet and has a better phone than i do. She cant learn all that stuff properly at this age yet she doesnt give up and is not ok with simpler devices. She keeps asking me how to do stuff and i do help her every time but she just cant learn. i really love her and try to be patient but some day i think ill explode. what am i supposed to do

My sister in law and my mother in law were fine with me being around from day one before I married my husband. If they asked for something and I was able to do it or give it to them I would, no questions asked. It started out needing some kind of food in their house and they were going to pay me back when they could. I was fine with that because my sister in law has a 3 year old son and I didn't want to see him go without food. Time came and went and I never saw any kind of effort to pay me back for the groceries that I had bought ($150 worth). After that they would continue to ask for things like $5 here and there and for me to pick up toilet paper and bread. Like I said, I am the type of person that if I have it and someone needs it I will give it to them. Being that there was a 3 year old involved I more than willingly gave them what they needed. One day my mother in law asked me for $30 because she needed gas to take my sister in law somewhere. I was on my last $20 and I had to get to work the rest of the week so I told her that I didn't have it. She instantly got an attitude and told my sister in law what I said and my sister in law starting going off, yelling and cussing. I asked them both what their problem was and they said that I could have helped them and I just didn't want to. I haven't been able to speak with either one of them because they won't even look at me. It's been like this for a few months now. Me being the type of person I am, things like that bother me

I'm a 15 year old boy and my mother has criticized me for every one of my interests. My interests include filmmaking, breakdancing, music, and extreme sports. However, my mother always yells and scolds at me whenever I practice or even mention it. When I breakdance for example, my mother lectures me on how I am a loser for having no athletic ability and how my height will never extend. Whenever I make films or watch/practice extreme sports such as skateboarding, my mother tells me that its immature and stupid. She says that I'm spending my time on worthless hobbies and that I'm throwing my life away with these activities. Yet, I'm a straight-A student at the top of my class, a college-level pianist with several musical awards, a black belt in mixed martial arts, and a popular student for making comedic films and breakdancing in my high school's talent show. It astonishes me that my mother has never congratulated me, and just denounces me for the things she finds "negative." I've always tried to make her proud, but she is always unimpressed with my lifestyle. She tells me that I'm a dork with no life, and that I'll be a failure when I grow up if I don't take her advice. However, she is a stay-at-home mom, who has no friends nor a social life, and doesn't do anything except for watching TV and sleeping most of the time. If it weren't for my father, she would not be financially stable and would probably be struggling. Why is my mother so pessimistic about my hobbies? She even comments about my social interaction, and how I'm too awkward and insecure about myself. I don't talk much, and she says that I'm a loser for not having proper social skills. She always tells me that I need to go out more, but she never lets me go out with my friends nor does she let me go outside my house in general because she thinks I'll get shot/raped. I stay up late at night just to avoid my family, where I practice my hobbies in private so that I won't be yelled at. But she caught me this morning and threatened to beat me if I didn't quit those activities. I just don't like the negative support. How do I stop this? I've told her multiple times that it's just a phase of what I just love doing. It's how I occupy myself, but she tells me to do more rational deeds. I also can't even talk to a friend without her shooing them away or disrespecting their presence. She called my female friend a "skank" when she saw me walking with her to my mom's car. However, it was the first time she saw her and made that comment within 5 minutes. I've tried talking about my problems with her, but my mother tells me that I'm the problem who's bringing this situation upon myself if I can't pull my life together.

My dad used to smoke a lot and he says it just makes you a dumbass and he doesn t want that to happen to me. He was super pissed and took my weed (8th and a bowl). Now my mom drinks whenever she can and is a chain cigarette smoker, says she tried weed once and didn t like it. She just got really weird (she was drunk) and kept telling me to stop. They kept comparing me to my brother too because they know he smokes and didn t graduate because he got mixed in with a bad group when he was 17 (He dropped out of high school and started adult ed before he started smoking weed). I have been smoking on and off since about a year ago. I graduated and got better grades than I did in previous years. So I think its fair to say it hasn t affected me negatively and I am not addicted. Anyways this happened last night and said they d talk about it in the morning. I m currently still laying in bed. What do I do? Can I get my weed back??

The other day my family and I looked at a house. We removed our shoes (as often required at open houses). I was barefoot as I had worn sandals (not uncommon) and everyone else wore socks. When the realtor showed us the different rooms and asked us questions about what we thought, she often asked me "Oksana, how does that carpet feel?" Or "Oksana, how does that floor feel?" I later asked her why she kept asking me that, and she said that it was because I had bare feet, thus it was easier to feel the carpets/floors than those wearing socks, and said that my opinion on the carpets/floors was especially important. Does anyone else find this odd?
