Last week, my aunt and her two daughters (my cousins ages 15 and 11) came over for a visit and were playing in our pool while I was sun tanning. While they were playing, I swear I saw the older cousin slip her hand down her sister's bikini bottoms! I didn't say anything because I thought what if I'm wrong and didn't see what I thought I did. But just last night when I was staying over at their place, we were watching a movie at night. They were both laying together under the same blanket and my younger cousin fell asleep during the movie. The older cousin's arms were under the blankets but it looked like she was again touching her sister's private areas. Again, I didn't actually see it for sure as it covered under a blanket but that's what it looked like. I'm trying to reassure myself that I didn't see anything. That I might've not seen anything from the pool as it was from a distance nor from the other night since it under covers. But I can't help but feel disgusted and horrified at the possibility that my cousin is molesting her sister! This is all that I saw. What do I do? Do I speak about it with their mom or am I being paranoid and should just let it go?

My brother is 16 years old and i'm 19. I just got a new car that I worked really hard to pay for. So today he asked me if he can borrow my car keys because he forgot something in my car, so i gave him it. I was doing some work so I didn't realize how much time has gone by since I gave him the keys. So I went outside to check if he didn't drive it, he didn't, but i still couldn't find my keys. Then I saw my brother in my car with a girl having sex! I was so angry, so i opened the door and yelled at them to get out. When he got dressed, we went inside and i told my dad. He got punished, but he still didn't even apologize to me. He didn't think he did anything wrong, so i started punching him. I told them i'm going to be staying at my girlfriend's house for a while because I couldn't stand to be near him. Now i'm back and he keeps trying to talk to me, but I'm ignoring him. Do you think i should forgive him? Thanks.

For the past 3 years, I've had a bit of an internal struggle that I've dealt with, but now it's bothering the hell out of me. My dad works his *** off for my family to do fun things, and my mom and sister badger, insult and complain about things all the time. My dad is a police officer, so he gets treated like crap at his job, and when he comes home, my mom and sister treat him like crap. He's said things about it, and when he does, my mom and sister act like he just slapped them in the face. I don't know what to do. Right now my mom is accusing my dad of cheating on her, and she has no reason to.

Since it has gotten temperamental, I check the radiator level almost daily and it always is full at the fill cap, and up to the cool line on the tank thing. I'm really wary since I need to drive over 500 miles this weekend for a family funeral. Please tell me it's safe to drive or I will need to get an airline ticket back home on my moms CC. She needs that money for the burial.

We fought over something really stupid. So my brother had to pick me up last night. When I got in the car, My brother was saying something to me but I had my earphones in so I couldn't hear him. He started yelling and I tried telling him that I couldn't hear him because I had my headphones in. He called me a d!ckhead and said I was ignoring him on purpose. I told him to just stfu from talking to me because I'm not in the mood, I already had a headache. Then he pulls over to like the lot. Jumps out the car and says he will beat my azz right there. I didn't say anything, I just stayed in the car. Like he's 17 and I'm 15, and trying to fight me, how immature can you be? It was only my brother and I in the car so I didn't want things to get out of hand, I was thinking about calling my parents but I didn't. When we got back home, he told me to never disrespect him again. I told him not to disrespect me then and he says he'll do whatever and we started arguing but my mom broke it up. I don't know why, but I wish I would have just fought him and beat him up really bad.

My dad gets up griping EVERY morning. Every morning. I'm not exaggerating. He gets up and it's not good morning or anything. He gets this sourpuss look on his face and he'll start griping about the house, me, my mom, the dog, the yard, ice cubes (yes, if he finds an empty ice tray there's hell to pay), etc. If an ice cube tray is empty or the yard needs mowed or the house is dirty, he says me and my mom are lazy and all we do is sit on our butts and that we're going to get fat. He used to tell me all the time that I was fat/going to get fat. I'm 5/4 and around 120 pounds. I sit and have to listen to him criticize my mom every morning, and I think he has me like brainwashed. If my mom asks me to do something, the first thing that pops into my head is "She's too lazy to do it herself." and I hate it, but literally that's the way my dad has me thinking because I listen to him every day. And wow he just called me greedy and selfish. I deal with this every day and I'm so done and I don't know what to do. I feel like he's going to give me mental problems.

I'm 19 but I get treated more like I'm 14. I was really excited about going off to college at 18, but i let my parents talk me into taking a gap year. It was the worst decision I ever made. You see, I had moved out for a short time, but my job didn't pay enough to make rent, so I ultimately had to move back home. And now it looks like I'm not going to college this year, either, cause my Mom went through my Facebook and found out I was talking to people she told me not to talk to, and she says that means I'm not ready to leave home. And since she's paying for my college, she gets to decide whether I go or not. Do you think these rules are reasonable for someone my age?: -No sweets/junk food except for one item a day on Saturdays and Sundays. I understand junk food is bad for me but really? -If you make a new friend, we need to meet him/her first and approve of them. -No using the computer unsupervised (this one's not strictly enforced) -We need to know the passwords of all your online accounts, and if you change the password and don't tell us, we reserve the right to close the account. -No TV past 10PM (again, not strictly enforced) Also, I know you're gonna say get another job/move out, but I live in the middle of nowhere and my parents have successfully prevented me from getting a drivers license for the past 3 years, so it's not that easy. What do I do? also, my parents make a big show out of "disciplining" me in front of relatives, in order to prove they're good parents. for example, one time at thanksgiving, I looked at my phone to see what time it was, and my mom made a huge fuss about how it was rude to be "texting" at the dinner table and took my phone away until I could learn to be "responsible." all that for looking at the clock for 1 second.

Well, the reason why i got grounded ( for a whole month ) was because i want to see my "friend". ( which is actually my girlfriend ) But before that day I sneaked her in, I sleptover at her house. So my parents wouldn't let her come over. I wanted to see her before she went on vacation. And so I sneaked her in my room and apparently my mom heard whispering. And told me to open the door, I did and my friend was standing right there. So she got mad. And grounded me for a whole month. What do I do? I want to see my girlfriend really bad since she's coming back from vacation. But I'm not allowed to go out or have her come over. My parents and I had a talk about lying already. And they fully understand I'm repenting. But they still don't want to unground me. They let me have my phone since it's my first time getting grounded and lying to them. I'm 13 by the way. Help!!

Earlier today, I went to the Wendy's drive thru and the worker some stupid guy was being rude, and then when I went to the window for the food he was laughing and there were workers peeking out laughing and then they said "enjoy..." And laughed. I know they did something nasty to my food. I checked the good. But I just can't eat this. I'm grossed out. Can I sue Wendy's for this?

Me and my dad never got along. I got givin to him after my mom died, he didn't know I existed... But we would always fight and still do. Today he came home and my new dog had used the bathroom in the living room, so I cleaned it up. That made him go crazy and he just started telling at me and is forcing me to get rid of my "mutt" but anyways, he kept yelling so I yelled back, not even yelled but raised my voice, and so he said that if I yelled at him one more time id find myself on the ground. Then he started yelling again, so I was telling him that he's being mean, he has no reason to be like this, I hate when he yells at me and threatens me because as a kid I was abused by my stepdad, but then he said I was raising my voice again, and yet again threatened to hit me, and make me end up on the ground. What should I do about this? And is this considered abuse? I'm 15 by the way.

When I was 11 I had an older cousin who would come to my house to sleep over and he would slap my ***, and he would try to reach for my private parts, and once he touched my private part. He would beg my brother and I to sleep next to him at night. I don't remember if he ever did anything to me when I was a younger, but I do remember him pulling down younger my brothers pant ( he was about 4 at the time) to see his privates. My cousin is 2 years older then me, I don't think if that even counts as molestation

My little brother is 3 , Turns 4 in October. Today while i was vacuuming he was sitting with my two pet tortoises. When i came to check on him about 20 minutes later, he had my baby turtle on it's back with it's water dish emptied and on top of him, suffocating him. The turtle did not make it. My brother has always been a little aggressive towards animals but my mother and i always just brushed it off because of his age. He does stuff like , kick the cat & dog. & he's poored all the water out of his fish tank a time or two and poured soup in there. He's always very angry and I'm not sure if this is something we should be concerned about or just brush off. Thinking about telling my mom to take him to a behavioral specialist. Any advice would be appreciated.

I live with my brother and his fiancee and they both love me very much. My brother's fiancee is extremely protective of me and is the person who takes care of me. My brother really isn't a parent. Like if there's a problem my teachers wouldn't even try contacting my brother and would go straight to samantha. She checks on me every night when I'm sleeping. Usually she just takes a peak but sometimes she'll make sure the blanket is covering me. I'm almost 16 and I didn't know if I was to old for that.

I m 14 and from the UK and I want to move out ASAP. I v done research and found that legally I can move out at 16 with my parents permission and can even get help with rent (according to childline). But they re stuck in the thought that I won t be able to cope by myself. I don t get on well with my parents, and I haven t since I was about 8 and because of that i v always been as dependant as I possibly could, cooking for myself, cleaning after my own mess and I even have a job where I work every day after school and Saturdays and I make a nice sum of money for myself which I spend on food, drinks and things for my pets. I often have spare and have tried to offer rent to my parents, but they just won t take it. They keep saying I won t be able to look after myself and I ll always need their help, but I really disagree with this and when ever I try to discuss my feelings they just turn their noses up. Does anyone have any idea how I can prove to them that I will be able to take care of myself? Especially when I have been proving this for years in many ways? Thank you for any help!

My family moved across the country in the beginning of July and I told my mom I didn't want to move and asked if u could move in with on of my friends and their family and she said no and then she asked me if I wanted to live with my grandma and I said yes but my grandma doesn't have a lot of money which I don't care about but my grandma lives in an old folks home and she can only live there alone or with my grandpa who died six years ago and when my mom asked me if I wanted to live with my grandma after I said yes my mom got so mad at me and just went to bed then the next morning she came in and told me if I move then I can get a phone but that's not what I wanted I want to stay with my friends because all the people where I live seem like spoiled brats and I don't want to be Around people like that so I wanted to stay with my friends

What's your opinion?

So five years ago I met this girl and we became really good friends. Then my mom found out she had an older brother, he was three years older than me so he was 15. My mom made me date him. She made me go in his house with him. So for two years she made me do whatever he wanted. At one point he tried to rape me, but I got out from under him and ran. Then I slipped and fell into the dogs water bowl and then his mom and my mom came in and asked what that noise was. I tried to tell them what he was trying to do but they didn't care and said I wanted it. I was 11 years old, and definitely didn't want it. My mom made me date this guy just so his dad would give her a tattoo, and she never got it. Was this right of her to do?

Most evenings my mother cooks dinner for me. However some nights I will ask if it is soon dinner time, it will usually be about eight pm and she will say figure out your own dinner. She doe not seem angry, just says it nonchalant. I do not mind cooking my own dinner, however when I am told at eight pm at night that I have to figure out dinner myself it leaves me with little options as there is usually nothing to cook in the house. Why does she does this and not tell me from the morning that I need to figure out dinner for myself tonight?

I was at my uncle's house yesterday (her brother) and he was telling me how I'm gonna have a lot of kinfolk going to college with me that i hardly even know and then I thought wouldn't kinfolk be on my birth mom's and birth dad's side of the family?? Idk so if anybody can answer that I would appreciate that :-)

My cousin is always going on about how cultured she is and loves to go on about studying in London last year. She can afford that lifestyle because both of her parents are doctors. Last year, she decided to expand her artist education, so she hired a piano teacher. She learned a very complicated song, I have no idea what it's called, or I just can't remember. It's that song usually played on an organ and was used several times in horror movies. You'd know if you heard it, it's iconic to "original" horror in film. It took her a year to learn the entire song. I said I would like to learn, she gave me a *dream on* face. I went home that night, got online and taught myself half of the song in 2 days. Apparently I have a natural talent for music and learning it quickly. I showed her a few days later that I could play half, and now she's angry with me. Is she mad because I learned faster than her?

I feel that no matter how hard I try, everything turns out wrong. Seriously. Yesterday, like 5 billion things have gone wrong. Today, I started off wrong. Yesterday, I missed my French class through Skype and my mom just got so mad at me. I kept calling my French teacher for 30 minutes and it turned out that she was sleeping. Then, my sister and I were ordering clothes on Abercrombie and Abercrombie and Kids. My sister put in the address and email, etc. for the order, but then I accidentally hit the delete key, so the page took us back to the page that my sister filled out (with the contact info, not card/payment info) and everything she wrote had been deleted. So, I had to fill it out again, but I put in the wrong address for both Abercrombie and Abercrombie Kids. My sister had to send an email twice to Abercrombie's email. She was really mad at me because she thought that she looked so careless to Abercrombie because she had to send an email twice (thought the first email was her fault). My older sister said things like "You have to double check these kinds of things to actually be mature" and "Now I seem like the careless person when it's your fault.". I went to my bedroom and cried. Then, I had to send an email to Abercrombie Kids about the wrong address, but they said that the items were already processed and ready to be shipped. My mom got super mad at me and I sent like 6 emails, but there was nothing I could do. Everything I do makes everyone mad and it's all wrong.

My mom keeps saying "no wonder you don't have friends to me" almost everyday and it's really mean because i told her about how people bully me and ignore me at school. I can't defend myself and say that or she'll scream. I can't take it anymore. I hate my life. My mom says the meanest things to me everyday and I'm starting to despise her. Not even my own mother respects me. Sometimes i accidentally raise my voice when my headphones are in and i apologize after our fights but she never does. I always hide in the corner of my room trying not to fight back but she always walks in my room just to throw insults at me more while I'm crying. She made fun of me for cutting myself and many more things and I just feel helpless at this point. I also have an abusive ex boyfriend who told me to kill myself and that I'm worthless and she always talks to him. It's been going on for a year and i always tell her to stop but she doesn't.

Okay . Ever since my parents divorce. My mom has been in control of almost everything I do and has constant tabs on me. I can literally walk to the bathroom and she'll have a heart attack if she can't see where I am. I recently got into trouble but she never asked for my side of the story yet she grounded me for 3 months. I was invited to go sleepover a close friends whom I've slept over at before. But she wont let me. I'm going into high school for Christ sakes! When I asked the reason she said because I said so. The only thing I have done this summer was go to the mall once. And go places she wanted me to go to. My mom is suffocating me. Im not a bad child. I had all A's this school year. Sometimes I just want to tell her I dont want to live with her. What do I do?

She lives in my house - I own it She doesn't pay a cent towards anything (utilities, cable, groceries) She doesn't pay rent And now she wants me to give her money because she's the victim of sexism. She thinks that I ought to support her because I have male privilege - which is why I'm employed and debt free She thinks that It's not her fault that she can't find a job - with her sociology with gender and sexuality studies degree I tried to kick her out but she put on a show in front of my parents - they think I bully her

It just feels like she could act like she loves me anytime she wants. She always screams at me (and hits me occasionally) because of the simplest things. For example, I have a talking problem. I cannot talk properly and it usually helps a bit when I don't look directly at the person. When I'm talking with my mom she screams and hits me when I don't look at her, because she thinks it's a way of 'disrespecting' her. She always acts like she loves me in front of my dad, but when he leaves for work she goes back to screaming and shouting. She always tells me that it's soon going to be either me or her in the house. She always tells me that I'm acting all innocent in front of my dad and that I'm trying to separate them. She also says that one day they'll be having a divorce because of me. I'm being completely honest with you, never once have I told my dad what she does to me, and never once have I cried in front of him. Sometimes when she hits me it leaves a bruise and I always make sure it's covered up so no one sees it. She also gets impatient with me when I stutter (as I said, I have a talking problem which is intense stuttering) and makes a point of looking at me with disappointment. She also tells me it's because I argue with her a lot. I could swear a thousand times to God, I never have the intention to argue with her. The thing is, she always screams at me and most of the time I have no idea why. What she calls 'arguing', is just me politely asking what I did wrong.

Im in California by the way.

I'm 5"3 and I used to be 138 Ibs now I'm 106 Ibs. I used to have massive portions of high sugary/high fat food all day. I lost all this weight in 6 months through eating the recommened amount of all the food groups & smaller portions. And excercising 3 hours a week. My mom keeps telling me to eat more, shes telling everyone im starving myself even though I told her I'm not, she accuses me of skipping meals when I actually have 4 meals a day but she just doesnt see me eating and shes making it difficult for me to maintain the amount of body fat I got by giving me food thats high in fat/sugar. Its getting really annoying. She cant seem to believe I did thorough research on how to lose weight healthily. Just because I'm autistic (she came from a country where they're uneducated about this), and my cousin and aunt who tried losing weight through fad diets which didnt end well for them. She thinks I'm dumb & dont know what I'm doing. I got really annoyed few minutes ago because she accused me again, so I stormed out of the house & now shes calling my phone till I pick up. What should I do?

So I have this pretty hot cousin shes 12 and I'm 15 and I want to have sex with her but I feel like I would get caught because her mom is always home and she has 2 younger brothers and sister is their any place I could do it in the house or maybe even outside and how would I ask her to do it. I also don't have any condoms and probably won't be able to get any so what can I do there? Please give serious advice and not the bullshit like dude its your cousin or your too young.

He only ever needs to use the restroom when I'm in the shower and he walks in my room only when I'm getting dressed.. I'm not allowed to lock the door because my mom thinks that I would sneak someone up to my room or the bathroom, so cant lock the doors. Just why does he do this to me?

Does this mean my bf was spying on me??? I found weird software on my cell phone. Samsung beaming for android or something. My bf is always paranoid and took my phone for a few hours. I always check what apps are running so I can limit data/battery. This app appeared and my phone and was down loaded recently. Basically it allows a remote user to see everything u do. It can turn on ut camera...audio...flashlight...s3ndvtexts...see.your conntacts...change em...all remotely.get ur location...unlick.it...turn it on...etc. img. I deleted it aND phone is running si much better. I asked bf about it...cause if he didn't do it...I thought was frightening. I asked him to see if it was on his phone. I was a victim of identity theft so it's scary. Around that time he wanted me to answer calls from cell provider as I had signal issues. My phone never rang...signal issues...lol...b ut he said the agent told him they could see all the pictures...texts...etc on his phone...which I tjought was odd. He wasn't concern. He didnt ever checked his phone. I looked at his phone and he has a remote program app that allows user to control someone else's phone as a master...I think what it said. I did take screen shots of mine...like 10 shots...but only could see his briefly. So again. I asked him about it...and he seemed disinterested. We are on his plan so he can see my things anyhow.Or he can just look. Was it him? Is he lying???? Why???

I'm 18, I love her and she has at times been a very good mother, however she suffers from depression and I think a personality disorder as well. Growing up she never really did much, she was mostly uninvolved with the children, never cleaned up and rarely cooked, she'd go to work and then lay on the sofa the rest of the time. She got better when I was around 8 after she divorced my father, but she made it a really vicious divorce and did use my younger brother and I as pawns a lot, she was a regular Mia Farrow, the case lasted 5 years and that was hard. Like I said she did get better, she took us out for trips occasionally and tried to open us up to the world, but at the same time she was selfish, I could never do what I wanted like joining a friend's band she wouldn't let me, she didn't come to parents evenings, she didn't care that I was being bullied and was miserable at school, the house was still very bad etc. I've lived with both parents, but I've lived with her for the last two years and again she's better, she's tidier, she occasionally does things and has more of a life, but there are things she does, she never listens to my opinion, for example I flunked sixth form and she made me go back, even though I had jobs lined up (good jobs too) and she doesn't care that I am so miserable there, she just wants another child at university, just for her to boast about. I do all the housework, she cooks but thats about it and she only cooks what she wants to eat Also she has almost no affection, she's never been supportive of my two older half siblings when they've been dealing with stress or emotional turmoil, when my sister was 14 and going to her first dance my mother told her she looked like a cow. I mean she's our mother, I was having an absolute emotional break down and she barely listened, she just told me to work harder and get on with it. As well she expects us all to do so much for her and it just doesn't seem fair with the way she is. But what annoys me so much is she has twisted the situation so much, she seems to believe that she has always been this perfect mother, which isn't true, we all raised ourselves, my older brother credits my Dad (his step dad) for being a far better parent than she was, I could go on for ages, I could write a whole report, another thing, during the divorce battle she accused him of hitting her which never happend I just can't stand it, she has been a crap mother and she still is but she won't admit it she doesn't even seem to believe what a crap job she did either that or someone else was to blame, like her children or my father, or the place we lived. But what's killing me is naturally in 18 years, she has had her moments, whenever I think about this stuff and I have to or it eats me up, I remember the 10% of the stuff she did which was actually good. Like usually just little things, like during her happier periods, often very small things, that still mean an awful lot and I am just so overcome with guilt for feeling the way I do, like seriously painful overbearing guilt, and sometimes I feel bad for her situation, she's not happy with her life, she suffers depression and I can relate and it makes me feel horrible to feel this way about my mother. But at the same time she is still the way she is.

Im 17 years old I stopped my education last year but continued this year and I think thats the time where this all happened Both my mom and dad got into hospital last year. My dad is now fine but keeps on consuming ciggaretes which I find really annoying and im scared what could happen if he keep on doing that. I always remind him to stop but he doesnt listen ( i think he listens but just cant stop, he's 69 yrs old btw ) My mom is also fine but she is always sick, she has really some bad habits and i think she smokes while hiding on me and makes me really derpressed everytime i get to see her cause I know thats bad for her and shes really stubborn same with my dad During those days that they were in hospital im really stressed out untill they get to go home Just to make the story short Im now a working student and always busy and somehow all my problems seems to go away when im not home but everytime im home i feel all the sadness and cant say everything i want bcos i know my parents wouldnt even understand I think I have hypochondria and ocd. I dont know what to do anymore

Opinion regarding marrying cousins is acceptable?

My parents berated and reprimanded me for wanting to associate and abase myself with a guy who has a drinking history. Especially since I have a well off future. He has been jailed for his drinking habits before. And they hold a very negative view on anyone with a criminal background and will brook none of my sentiments. But I am understanding and tolerant towards someone with a drinking problem than a more sinister crime. I want to point out the fact that I am not seeing him as a long term relationship but as someone I could experience and dally with. But that is beside the point. The point is I want to live life in a flow. Not attach so much meaning into actions. I have a more liberal attitude than my parents. If I try to point this out to them, not that they would let me get any word in, they would not understand this concept and would in disownment denounce that I am a bastard-whore. They say I will risk getting shot by an angry criminal. That my wants make me a subject of redicule to society. So this is why I am posting this question right now. Am I really blind to my own absurdity and deserving of derision? Am I really misguided? Do you think it undignified?

Ok so I meet my boyfriend in April last year. We got alone so well within the first month. We didn't have intercourse or anything for the first 2 months just us getting to know each other. We were just dating not even an official couple yet. During those first 2 months he fell hard for me and wanted us to be together, but I wasn't ready yet although we both felt like we were soulmates. I just felt like it was too good to be true. ... and it was. In may of last year he came to me in tears and told me before he meet me he was with a girl and now she is pregnant and think that the baby is his. I was heart broken and stood by his side and stayed. Now he has his baby and she looks nothing like him. A few of his family members even say she looks nothing like him. I love him so much and his daughter, but I don't think she is his. I asked him if he got a paternity test and he said yes and quickly changed the subject. I don't think he did and one of his family members said he didn't. Now, I want to buy a home paternity test and secretly test him and his daughter. If the test comes back negative how do I tell him and do you think a guy would be mad if this was done. Also I don't have kids do you think he would be relived that maybe he could start a family that he would have planned for like he wanted.?

My sister is really irresponsible with money she never pays her bills on time. She asked my husband to lend her money to move. Even after receiving a large sum of money that she wasted and all her other bills are either late or cut off. My husband is not comfortable with lending her that kind of money because of her history of not paying things on time. Now he placed the responsibility on me if I lend the money to her. Should I do it anyway? I honestly don t want to.

My parents grounded me from soccer for a week. They hid my soccer ball in their room. I knew where it was. I went in to get it. When I went in they opened the door. I was super scared, so I hid under their bed. When they came in they started getting all over each other. My mom is a very conservative woman, but I heard her say some very dirty things to my dad. It was gross hearing them take off their clothes and do it. No kid ever thinks of their parents like that. It's completely freaky and weird for my parents to be doing it. I guess I knew they did, but it's disgusting because it's my parents. How can I forget I ever heard that? i'm a middle school girl.

I don't understand. I do everything right!! My dad hates me for no reason. My mom yells at me every min of the day, and it's no like I sit around all day doing nothing. Well I do but at least I get my stuff done first. I clean the whole house for her almost everyday and then I just want time by myself and she yells at me that I'm not useful and I need to help out more. My brothers do nothing it drives me crazy. I'm not even the oldest kid. Do they hate me because my grades in school are bad? Like not everyone is perfect!! I'm so angry all the time because they tell me I can tell them anything but when something is bothering me, they don't listen. The other day I yelled at my mom because I was trying to tell her that I don't like the way she is treating me and she yelled at me and called me a b*tch. Idk what to do anymore. I'm only 16 and I dont have my license yet. Im such a failure at everything even my friends are turning on me. Maybe I :shoulld just go...

Let us say that the guy wants to stay single just so he could be seen as an odd one out since he's clearly going against the norms.

I'm 14 and all my friend call their parents names for example they say they hate their parents and they are selfish but I don't think that about my parents in fact I would never say that about my parents. Idk like I would rather go shopping with my mum And play video games with my dad then my friends then going shopping or playing video games with my friends.

We used to have dogs and cats, but they've been gone for a while now (died). I really miss my dog and my cat, and I have severe depression and anxiety, I feel that having a pet would help with that. I don't like to be around people because of my anxiety and as a result I often bottle up my emotions, when we had pets I felt like I had someone to open up to, it helped with my depression bc I felt like I had a purpose (caring for my pets) I don't care what kind of pet, though a dog or cat would be preferable. My parents wont let me have one bc they think it's too expensive I have a few thousand dollars saved up and I offered to pay for it. Then they went into the argument of what we would do when I went to college, but technically colleges allow mental health pets. How can I change their mind?

Not even being 2 months old,since our daughter was born I noticed he's been way more controlling and his temper is off the charts. Just the other day,he went through my phone and saw something he didn't like from over a year ago and just started hitting me with our daughter in the backseat. He even said don't bother bringing her or me around his place and when I did just that,he says he's going to take me to court because by law he has rights as the father to see her. He doesn't work as much and doesn't have a car,I'm the one who has to run him back and forth and I can't do that. I don't want my daughter around him and his temper. What should I do?

mom gets mad at me for not babysitting. its fustrating sometimes. my mom is going somewhere with her friends because its her friends bday, and wanted me to babysit. She tells me this 2 days before the acutal day. i told her i had plans that day. In the past i have tried to compromise. I either cancel my plans or ask that she be back in time so i can go follow through with the plans i originally had, but she usually doesn't make it back untill hours later. which has happend several times. I only remember about one time she actually was on time. so after that i decided not to agree to babysit on days i already have plans. The day she wants me to babysit I have a lot of things going on throughout the day which I have been planning for a bout a week and looking forward to. So now she is mad at me and telling me not to contact her for help on anything. which i feel is quite silly. also i do not live with my parents i have my own place and pay my own bills. i live maybe about 20 minutes from them. am i wrong. I dont really like her being mad at me but its so fustrating to the point it makes me not want to do it even more. also im 24 years old also my step dad is going out of town for a couple of days and they wanted me to stay the night with my mom sun-tues because she hates being in the house alone. As much as I really don't want to do that. I rather be at home sleeping in my own bed., I agreed to do it anyway. So I don't really get why she acting like I don't do anything at all for her.

So we haven't had a family vacation in years. He always has me looking up rates...etc...but then we never go. I've told him he can look. He says the reason is time...money. He has saved 25k this summer. I had asked if we could just get a $50 hotel for a night...with a pool...and he couldn't even do that. So I will more than likely do that with the kids alone. So we were talking last night he,wants to go on vacation - bring his whole family and rent a big house...etc. His sibling has had recurring lung cancer (5years now. They are "young".we r same,age) and won't stop. Their partner,ALSO smokes. (Pot too.) Dr. has told us not our new baby shouldn't be around cigarettes. We also have another child.We don't smoke...etc. Also...He wants to go during the one month out of the year that I make 90% of my income. I said I couldn't go then. I have been saving to try get a computer 4 my business. He says it will be about $400 a day cost to us...all others are on disability. I think it went in one ear and out another. He says he kniws i will be mad...as he has ...again...been talking for years on taking me/kids there...b ut we never go. Says he wants to spend as much time can with sibling - cancer etc....how our baby cheers them up...etc. (The smoking isn't helping to show they want to be around ...but anyhow.) Btw...I've also had serious health issues/cancer/ preg. problems-Long lasting toxemia. I'm not mad as much as hurt. Is there a good comprokise? What would u do?

I wake up at 9:00AM, to a stepfather that doesn't even say good morning. It's just get the f*ck up and go do this. I go do what I'm told, then my mother yells at me and says I slept in too long. She takes over my chore after I'm 3/4 to the way of finishing. I get up at 5am every school morning, for a teenage girl that's 15 I feel like I have every right to sleep until 9. Then they snarl at me and they're just really rude and mean. I personally think I'm a good kid, I don't consume drugs or have sex, and I try my hardest in school. They decide to yell at me about my BF, who is very clean himself. He's a good guy and without him i would've committed. but at this point he doesn't want to be with me because of my PHSYCO parents. They always make him feel really bad. I feel really unloved, unappreciated, and like I'm in the way of everything no matter how hard I try. At this point, I don't know what to do. What I explained probably doesn't seem that bad, but other days it's WAY WORSE. At this point I just want to be one of those girls that shows up on the news as "missing". Any advice?

So basically a few nights ago I went to a friends place for a sleepover and at that sleepover one guy stayed the night (we like eachother but legit the only thing we did was cuddle). Anyway she wouldn t have known about it if as a joke it s known that friends will shout random things anyway one friend she had shouted "pass the weed" while he did "come back to bed" so then mum knew he had stayed the night. Now mum is going on about how I m ****** and she will be talking to my friends parents when it comes to sleepovers. The reason I didn t tell her that this guy was staying the night was because she s extremely overprotective and strict when it comes to guys, and I was only just able to go to this sleepover so I reassured her that it was fine and she had nothing to worry about. But now my anxiety has flared up again because of this and I have no idea what to do

Hey guys. So I live in a pretty small apartment with my slightly dysfunctional family (to whom I think I love when if comes down to it) we have our issues & it's far from perfect, but I've been trying to remain positive on my outlook but idk. So anyways, for te past couple I months, my dad's Ben accusing me of stealing his weed out of his closet. Which btw, has a combination lock, key lock, & is located right next to the couch where he always lays ( it's a small place) it started off as some slight accusations where he'd sheepishly ask me if I went into his closet, & if just say no & he'd walk away. But lately, he's just been screaming at me that I'm stealing from him & looking through his papers & such.hes gotten to the point of threatening me & calling me names out of the blue & I'm uncomfortable even going to bed anymore since my beds directly under his. He says I sneak past him at night :/ Although I do stay up all night playing video games, I DO NOT & HAVE NEVER STOLE FROM MY DAD. We've never had a good relationship since adolescence I'd say, but I didn't do anything so bad as to set him off like this. He's even telling y other family members tht I'm stealing from him & I'm a bîtch & a coward ect... I'm not necessarily hurt by what he says, but I certainly don't like it since I dot actually steal from him & I don't know what to do. He doesn't believe me when I tell him. Our family is pretty dysfunctional on many levels, but this issue really itches at me. Thanks guys

My sister is 6 years old. I try my very best to be close to her and be patient but she ends up pushing me away. When I don't hang out with her she gets all upset and bothers me all of the time. I buy her stuff with my own money that I worked hard to earn but about an hour afterwards she goes back to ignore me. Help!

My husband and I are searching to buy a house. We ran some neighborhood addresses through Megan's law website and I found my cousin's (we'll call her Kate) husband on there!!!! I called my aunt and come to find out Kate's husband molested Kate's younger sister 15+ years ago!!! I am so confused and angry at this information! Why did Kate stay with him and why didn't she tell me this!! Kate and her husband is planning to visit me and my 3 month old baby in one week for the first time. I DO NOT want ANYTHING to do with her husband and I don't want him ANYWHERE near my baby!!! I don't know how to approach Kate about this. Help?!!!

I'm 16 and have have a type of anxiety since I was little, I have had people come and help me with it in primary school and have improved my confidence a lot. My parents call me names, say I'm fat, ugly, dumb and just nothing compared to my older sister. They are really sarcastic, don't listen to any of my problems and say nasty things like 'at least I have never had a mental issue' and 'why don't you go and live in a children's home'. This makes me feel horrible about my self and I don't know what to do. I can't cope with the continuos arguments, help please?

My children have not seen their grandma in almost 6 months. She makes no effort because she claims she's so busy with her "other kids" we call it her NEW family. Honestly the guy she's dating is trash & it's an abusive relationship. & we do not allow him around our children/home. But she stays.... Also we feel The foster kids are not in a good home & would be better off with someone else. My children have never seen her as grandma everything she comes she has children in toe. She even holds them & not our kids. Would it be rude to tell her she's invited to our kids birthday parties but she has to come ONLY her not one else? My deserve to have a grandma not someone else's mom/step mom/ step-grandma.

So years ago I played this Cheetos game and I have forgotten the name of it. I remember it had Chester the cat or whatever jumping in the air and landing on firework explosions, I remember a pyramid, a field where you had to catch or find something, and some evil dude who ran away, by running at the screen please help me find the game.

hi! I love my cousin for more than four years but I never told him and he never did it too (because of our family and we can not do it right now). it was clear from his behaviors that he loved my another cousin but now I guess he loves me. he look at my face and when I look him he still his regard and he looks me in a way that I can read that from his eyes that he loves me but I`m not sure. my other cousin who I said he loved her was talking with my other cousin and said that he wants to make a friend with her classmates. they thought I didn`t hear but I did. we live in another province and I can see him one time in two month or some times more. when we are arriving to his province I all the time tell my self that hajar look at your self! you are thinking about your goals and being successful but when we are coming back I think about him. I don`t really know what to d? should I text him? and I know that I wont and I cant accept him as my husband really. I talked with my mom about that and my mom reaction was that she limited me on seeing him. he is my first love and I cant forget him. soe times when we are in our own city it makes me discuss when I thought about oh I thought about him~ how could I bear him?! but when I see him or hear his voice I loose my control and my cousin who he loved her says I don`t love him but how he and she talks with each other or their kind behaviors makes me feel a little like jeles but I can never forget his looking. does he really love me?

My parents relationship has not been good for a very long time now. They fight constantly and live as if they are roommates and not a married couple. I know for a fact that their sex life is pretty much non-existent, and they never really have a conversation with each other unless they have to. My mom is very passive and ignores any problem that is going on. I love her, but I feel that she can be selfish a lot of times. My dad is the one who is constantly getting things done around us while my mom either sits on the couch to watch TV or has her head buried in a phone or iPad. She is not very conscious of other people's feelings or problems. He has confided in me many times about his relationship with my mother, and he is sick of living the way that they are living. I am positive that after my younger brother graduates high school, that they will most likely get a divorce. I am 19 now, so I will be 25 when he graduates high school. I will definitely have moved onto my own thing and be an independent adult, but I'm still afraid it will be hard to deal with even as an adult. I don't think the reality of the situation will set in until it actually happens and I don't know how to prepare myself for it. It may not directly affect me anymore because I'd be living on my own, but it will definitely affect the family that I have in the future.

Hey guys. My non-blood related cousin was born with Cri-du-chat syndrome and she was never able to recover. For the most part, she can't control her body movements, she can barely walk. It was a pretty strong hit for the family and it completly destroyed her parents' lives. She always needs to have someone around, usually an adult. If no adult is available (i.e. She has to stay alone with her younger brother) she is locked in a small room so she doesn't have freedom to touch everything. Once when I was young I was left alone with her in the kitchen because there was an emergency and everyone else had to leave. After 5-10 minutes, she got up on her feet (with much difficulty), crawled to the part where the washed knives are, supported herself using the furniture, took a knife, and lifted it above her open mouth while looking up at it. I reacted quickly and took it out of her hands before she could drop it, and moved with her to another room. I never told anyone about this in real life, but it surprised me a whole bunch. I tend to wonder what would have happened if I hadn't done anything, but then I tell myself that's not my call to make. But do you think there's any way that was a suicide attempt, or just a mere coincidence because she was curious? Also, before anyone touches on that, I didn't stop her before because it's normal for her to crawl around and stand up using furniture, and I never thought she would actually touch the knives. I was also so surprised by the situation that I was frozen for a few seconds before I could react.

I live with my dad and my mom lives three hours, I made a $20 purchase. I thought if I make the purchase on the same day she got paid, that she wouldn't notice. And when I lived with her, I never knew of her to check her statements. But I'm still skeptical.
