I'm depressed and I'm in tears, I don't feel loved, I feel like shes taking half my benefits and then taking the other half as a "loan" that will never get paid back. Shes taken all my bond money and now I don't think I ca go to uni. I feel like thers a massive weight on my shoulders that shouldn't be there.

She keeps saying that she wants to take her to see a physchologists so she can get it out of her...im so worried because my dad just had to take my sister out of the house because my sister said she wanted to kill herself because of how my mother is acting...i just cannot understand how my mother thinks.....please help me.

I rarely watch films with my mum so this is rare. The one night we are watching it and she gets drunk. I can't stand her, and she ruined my favorite film for me. How do I stop her. Should I pour her wine down the sink? She disappointed me once again. but I'm afraid it will change everything if I tell her. What should I do? Thanks! :)

Me and my mom live with my great grandpa. He smoked for 70+ years, and quit when we moved in. He goes to the doctor sometimes, so I don't know if he has lung cancer or something. I don't take him; I'm 15, my uncles do though. Anyways, recently, he started hacking, usually after eating. We discovered that he can't have dairy anymore. Even butter on his peas make his hacking REALLY BAD. So he uses almond milk, etc. now. But he still hacks, and spits mucus. The noises he make sound like demon exorcism. It is really loud and I hate listening to it. It wakes me up, and it is disturbing. What could we do to make it go away? Or at least make it so he isn't making horrible noises. P.S. He also has dementia.

Me and my mother are very close to each other and I m moving out within the next 4 months which has been very hard on my mom because I m the last one to leave the house and also we are very close. Recently, within the last week my mom has been extremely spaced out and has been arranging things in our house very strangely ( she put an empty milk carton on the couch next to a cross) my mom is more spiritual than religious but I asked her what was going on and she told me she was a born again christian she will do things like seeing a bunny stuffed animal on her bed and tell me to have it in my room and then she ll start crying telling my to please have it in my room she ll ask me to blow out candles and I ask why she can t do it and she s like please blow out the candle I tried asking her to see a therapist and it ended in a screaming match and no matter what I say she ends up saying something like " take a look at my house, if i was crazy would my house be this clean"( I didn t tell her I thought she was crazy but I did tell her she is acting strange) and it s true our house is cleaner however she ll say that to anything I say She doesn t seem to remember anything I tell her and will kind of ignore me She told me she made gifts for these people she works with who "are sick in their hearts" because they think they believe in god but they really don t She also believes I m sick in my heart ( I m an atheist) My mom also told me that only her Dad and me have been so close to her and she told me that there are secrets all around the house and I'll ask her what she's talking about and she'll be like "they're god" and she told me that these are messages from her Dad through god and that she can hear him I don't know if she hears voices or what because every time I try and ask what she means she either tell me her house is clean or "what did I just tell you"

I've been with my fiancé for 4 years. He got a new job lately and all he's been doing is drinking with guys from work. He works overtime and stays late then comes home and goes to sleep, he doesn't even spend time with our son. I'm pregnant and expecting in a month, I have no vehicle he leaves me with no money and no way to transport our son to school. When he does get a day off its spent with the "friends" he met at his new job. When I tell him I don't want him going out because he should be putting us as a priority I get yelled at and talked down to because he "deserves" to go out and get hammered, even if the needs of the household arent met. He believes because he works outside of the home that he is entitled to free time and I am not. I'm just confused on what to do. I'm sick of being home alone, not being able to even goto the store to get something for my son I have to depend on my mom when it's not her responsibility to care for his son. I know it won't change once I have the baby, only difference will be that I'll have two kids to look after instead of one. Any advice will help!

My parents are really pissing me off. They installed cameras in my room. They don't allow me to date. They took away all my headsets and headphones. They changed the Netflix password. They also took a deal off the table that I could have more freedom after the 1st semester if I had a 4 and higher in every class. I really haven't done much. Last year I got a 3.6 which is disappointing for them. They never trust me. They constantly accuse me and always do random checks. They always yell at me to the point where I mistake excess sound for their screams. I don't think this is normal, and I'm finding myself cry a lot more than I used to.

I live with my mom&grandma 5days a week.I only see my dad sat-sun rarely fridays.I hate being at my moms/grandmas.I miss seeing my dad a lot.Can i just live with my dad? Do i have rights?

For the last few years, my mother has been very mentally, emotionally, physically, and verbally abusive towards me. She says awful things like, "I hope somebody slits your throat, I hope you die, you're a no good slut, you're a loser, I hope somebody takes a razor blade to your face, I hope you get sick and die, I hope you drop dead," and so on and so forth. Occasionally, she will physically harm me by cornering me and hitting me repeatedly, she will throw things at me and destroy things that belong to me. She has thrown me out of the house over ten times and I'm only seventeen years old. Her abusive behavior is a million times worse when she medicates. I'm losing my mind. She's sickly and I only stick around because she is sickly, but I can't take her sh*t anymore. I have no money to move out or anybody reliable that I could stay with. Please give me some advice...

She keeps making these sex jokes even when I tell her to stop. She complains when she has to give my friend a ride even though he sends me to practice almost every day. Today she told me I need to be "independent" by learning how to drive because I'm 16. But when I ask her to go driving with me she says she too busy. I only get 2 hours of driving a week when my dad comes home from work(he travels every week). And every weekend, she yells at my dad and me for the dumbest reasons- like not buying something for her. I'm just sick of this. Does anyone know what I can do?

My daughter is almost 6. I'll be 22 this year and my boyfriend is 25. I've been with him since my daughter was 2 and she's never had a dad. She obviously has one but I think he saw once or twice when she was a baby and that's it. He's not a bad guy and I don't want her to think badly of him, he's immature though and I knew he couldn't take on being a father so when he wanted to walk out I didn't argue. He pays his child support on time very rarely is he late so I'm happy to let him live his life the only time I see him is once a month to drop off his check at my work. She calls my boyfriend by his first name and he adores her they get along so well. Recently she asked me if he was her dad and I told her that he isn't but he loves her like a dad would and she said everyone has a dad and she wants him to be her dad. He was really happy about that he started tearing up when she said that and she hugged him and said "don't cry dad" and it was the cutest thing I've ever seen and from that alone that should show this is the right thing. My parents are more fond of my ex, they love my boyfriend but he isn't there first choice and they want my daughter to grow up with her biological father. We were at my parents and my daughter asked if her dad was coming and I said yes we were meeting him at the restaurant and my mom asked if we were meeting my ex and I told her no we were meeting Chris and my daughter said that Chris was going to be her dad since she doesn't have one. Then my mom pulled me aside and said she thinks it's wrong for us to "lie" to her. I think she's too young to understand the whole situation and we never lied we said that he isn't her dad and she decided that he would be. When she's older I'm sure she'll remember and put two and two together and ask about it and we'll tell her and she can make the decision on wether or not she wants a relationship with her real dad. My ex is immature in certain aspects but he is very smart graduated early went to college he's a doctor and obviously doing pretty well in life. My boyfriend dropped out and got his GED but that was so he could help his mom raise his younger siblings. He's been working since he was 13 to help pay the bills he works for a construction company, drives a motorcycle he has tattoos but he's a total family man. He doesn't make a lot of money but he makes enough for us to happy. To put it simply my ex is very cookie cutter.My boyfriend is a little out there maybe doesn't look like he would be nice but he's the sweetest man I've ever met. As for him adopting her we've talked about it that's something I believe is also her decision I wanted her to have the chance to know her biological father but with what she said about him, and she's asked if he could live with us and we're moving towards marriage within the next 2-3 years so I think adoption is a very real possibility.

Hello, I am a 13 year old boy and I consider myself to be reasonably mature for my age. I spend my lunch in the Public Library working on my website or programs, I prioritize schoolwork above all. I recieve above-90 averages in all my core subjects except for LA, where it's always in the low to mid 80s, as my teacher grades very hard, I recieved Academic Distinction in Grade 7 (Currently in Grade 8).. I don't waste money, I don't date. My chores include Mowing the lawn, doing my laundry (washing, drying, sorting, ironing, the whole process), putting the dishes in the dish washer, cleaning whatever part of the house my dad wants me to clean during the weekend, which usually consists of assisting in cleaning the washroom, cleaning the cabinets, appliances, floor or tables of the kitchen, cleaning the furniture in the living room and cleaning the hardwood. I make sure all my chores are done perfectly, so much in fact, that my dad accuses me of continously doing something to the point that it is perfect, which my dad thinks is a waste of time, he accuses me of doing the same on school projects. I occasionally get $10-20 per month, At this point I haven't gotten an allowance in 3-4 months, yet my grades only got better. My friends spend their lunches at the mall, and get a $40-60 allowance per month. Should I ask for the same, considering that the average allowance per month seems to be $60 per month? I don't expect or deserve that much however.

Just think about it, it takes both egg and sperm to make a human.BUT the sperm cell is alive unlike the egg cell so wouldn't that make us start off as the sperm cell?

My mom is in the hospital on a ventilator and having dialysis for renal failure. Last night, after my rude/inconsiderate grandma FINALLY left (after nearly 12 hrs of being there) I went up. The nurse called her condition critical and said she's very sick with sepsis + kidney issues. I've had a cold, which I got over but my grandma is NOT allowing any visitors but herself, no friends, no family, just her. On a side note, my mom designated me as her "next of kin" who makes legal decisions for her. My grandma is going against this and is trying to make herself that designee. My husband had words with her, but she will told me to stop talking to the nurses (they gave me a card with a PIN # and told me to PLEASE call w/any questions). What is this woman's problem?

So my mom and dad are divorced and my mom likes to trick my dad into paying for stuff she needs. So I get to see my dad only for six hours every saturday and I usually let her come, but it's not because I think there is hope in between them remarrying each other, since my mom had six boyfriends after her divorce( she is 46 btw) She smokes more than a pack of cigarettes a day, she drinks, she goes out 2-3 days a week to bars and night clubs, and she went to the physiologist and he said that she need even MORE time away from me. Yesterday she said I was an "OLD UGLY RETARD"at a restaurant. To calm myself down, I excused myself and calmly walked outside to the bench and tried to hold my tears from coming. All of a sudden I see a security saying if I run away from her I can be put in jail OMG I wasn't running away from her!! Today she said that she doesn't want to see my ugly face, and that I have no heart, and instead of me moving to college, she is going to move out anywhere as long as it's away from me. She says that her favorite kid was my brother... Even tho he is 23, he lives in her house, unemployed, dropped out of school and lied about going to school for two years. I am in a seventh grade AP class and I never do anything to annoy her on purpose whatsoever.... Seriously this too much for me., I have no one who loves me... I feel so suicidal Btw I am 12 years old

Ok so Parents been smoking since they were 15 my parents are in there late 40s now. It s honestly SOO annoying when they smoking around me and my sister. It s like they don t care. My dad literally smokes every 10 mins. I think it s plain rude bc he will just smoke around us and say "cover your nose with a napkin" & I try to tell him that doesn t work. I can still smell it & even when he s smoking and I can t smell it in still breathing it in. It s also so annoying when he dropped me off at school and he smokes in the car then when I get to school I get out of the car smelling like smoke . Then people tell me "oh you smell like smoke. It s drives me crazy! I try to convince my parents to stop smoking but when I do I end up getting yelled at . With my mom she understands & she tried not to smoke around me but my dad just doesn t care. It honestly breaks my heart bc my parents are not only putting theirselves at risk of health problems but their putting me and sister of health problems too & WE DONT EVEN SMOKE . It s totally not fair:(

I've never had a good relationship with my dad. He's emotionally abusive and neglective. he's only gotten physical a few times. I don't care about myself but I will always resent him for what he's done to my siblings and my mom. I have told a lot of people about this including therapists and multiple staff at the mental hospital. (I was there last year for anxiety,depression and self harm.) They said there's nothing we can do about it because there is no proof of abuse and emotional abuse isn't against the law. The hardest part is that my dad is a wealthy attorney with connections. He will do anything and everything to make my mom's life miserable. So last night I ran away from his house and went to my mom's. But now my dad is threatening legal action against her so she's making me go back tonight. I understand she has to do that so she doesn't get in trouble but if I spend another second at my dad's my mental health is at serious risk. School and my physical health problems stress me out enough. I told my parents I need to do what's best for my mental health. Of course my dad doesn't care nor does he believe that depression and anxiety are real. I'm so stressed out, I have no safe place to go. The only place I felt remotely safe was the hospital because I was able to deny visits and calls from my dad, it was the only time I felt cared for. My mom's not great but I love her and of the two options I would much much rather be with her at her house. By the way, I'm 16.

Well this kid ran away from home, and he's been here for about a week or so. I don't know if anyone else is uncomfortable with that type of thought. He brings many risks to the house, such as theft and drugs. His friends aren't the greatest influences. I've told him to go home, but I'm assuming he didn't get the message correctly and said "I can't cause my dad doesn't want me there." I know he ran away and it ticks me off that he still lies to my family in the eye, because if they have known he ran away, they would've already booted him. He said they kicked him out. I'm starting to get really annoyed by this kid and he eggs my sister on about being stupid. EX: Sister makes stupid remark, he laughs at it. I was in a college rendezvous at the time and found this extremely annoying, and improper behavior. I'm 15 and well, I don't know how to handle this, my dad doesn't want him here, but my mom, sister, and little brother do. *Major facepalm* He's at his drugged up friend's house at the moment and I want him to stay over there. His dad also contacted my mom and dad saying it was okay, that he could crash at the house.

I haven't been on vacation for awhile. And I am missing out cuz everyone else gets to go on vacation. I think my last vacation was Berlin last October. That is so long ago. But my dad is being dumb, saying I'm on vacation right now, cuz we moved to a different country. That's not a vacation!!! Especially when u originally came from that country to begin with. My dad gets to go on vacation. Just this year he been to Tunisia and Pakistan and France and someplaxe else that I can't remember. Meanwhile I'm trapped in one place. He using the excuse that we cant go cuz of the babies. We can leave them with my grandma!! They will be OK to fly in a couple months anyway. I want to go to Bali or martitus (dunno how to spell it, but its some island with nice beach and stuff) or Iceland. And he tease me, saying we went to Iceland last week. I don't mean the frozen food store thats cheap and nasty and full of smelly people with no teeth!! I mean the country. I'm crying. Literally crying. And my dad is just sat across from me watching TV and don't even care that I need to go to Bali. He even threaten to hit me if I don't stop whining. It's not fair! Can I get him arrested he don't care about my happiness

My little brother and I were hanging out and this random dude walked over and started to flirt with me. My brother asked if he could go see the candy machine so I said yes but go to one close to the bench (we were in a store waiting for our brother). He ran back and pretended to hit me for money and the dude stood up and said "you wanna hit her little punk? I dare you" he said, my brother was about to speak and the dude raised a fist but luckily I stopped my brother from making a snarky remark back. My brother rolled his eyes and we left. I'm so greatful that my brother did not make a snarky remark but if the guy knew he's my bro; why did he try to hit him? This dude didn't know me and I didn't know him. My brother and I joke around a lot about when we're gonna hit and he only hits me like a little tap.

I don t know what I m doing wrong. I m 14, by the way. My mom explodes a lot over the littlest things. One time when I was 6 or so, my mom asked me to bring the entire box of toiler paper to her and I just brought one roll, so she picked me up by me foot, slapped my face in midair, then dropped me on my head. It s been going on for years. I ve learned to be very careful when I m around her. One minute she ll think the world is beautiful and she ll love me, then the next if I do so much as spill some milk I m punished. I try not to misbehave, but I always seem to be doing something deserving of being slapped or hit or kicked. She always hits me after I did the thing that made her upset (sometimes I don t even know what I did wrong! And if I ask her what I did she punishes me more for not knowing my mistakes) and then a few hours later she ll apologize then act all nice and stuff. I m terrified, I don t know what to do. Who knows, I may not be able to check these answers later because I ll be grounded for whatever reason. I just don t know what to do. Is what she is doing right? Or am I just a terrible kid? The worst thing I can remember doing is hitting this kid out of self defense because they were beating me behind the daycare. If what she is doing is wrong, should I go for help? Who? My dad is in Texas right now, and my grandparents are in no position to take any children in. I don t want my mom to be taken away, but I m still very scared...

They did not graduate high school and or they are just starting out... Do they always seek the help of mom and dad?!

I'm 18 years old and a straight A student and in my final year in high school. I've started experimenting with alcohol and things over the past year and feel really bad about it. Even though I am 18 and allowed to drink and buy alcohol legally i still feel really guilty about this, because my parents always talk about how I don't drink and never do anything wrong. The image they have of me is the perfect son who never causes problems. How can I tell them that I am not the perfect son they think I am, because the constant guilt of not being this "perfect" person is really starting to get me down and it's stopping me from being who I really am and enjoying life.

I'm 16 and I don't want my mom to be all lonely once me and my sister leave the house. Actually my parents are "separated" because my dad left the US when we were 7 because his parents died in a car accident and he's lived in his ancestral lands ever since, and though he does come back for vacation and send us money, my mother thinks even that much is going to stop once his children are done University and are adults living their own life. I think my mom wouldn't be so lonely if she has kids to take care of, but she doesn't want kids because she thinks she'd be too old to take good care of them... though I think that even if she isn't that good a parent their life is probably still going to be better here in the US than the place they were born in. So I'm trying to convince her by the time I've graduated high school, but want to know, would this be a bad idea?

Okay. This is simple. My sister wants to play on my phone but always winds up on stuff like my Instagram or Wattpad because there aren't any apps she likes to play. She destroys my Minecraft so she's not allowed on anymore, so I'm looking for a dress up game. Not one that's cheap and requires a zillion dollars to have fun, just a free, good dress up app. Thanks guys.

So I told my parents I'm going to be watching a movie with my 1 friend & I left the part out that I'll also be hanging out with a few of my guy friends. Unfortunately, he saw me walking out of the movie theatre with my friends who so happened to be 2 guys & 1 girl with me, assuming that I was in a double date. After I got back home, he screamed at me & slapped me multiple times bc he says that I'm hanging out with bad influences.the reason why he thinks that is bc they're muslims, he was lecturing me how they would one day rape or murder me. This sounds so f*cking stupid just writing this down UGH It's been 4 days since that happened & he's still ignoring me, I know that I should've told him the truth that I was going to be hanging out with them but I KNOW my dad's more pissed off that I'm hanging out with ppl that have different religious beliefs. I live in Dubai, a muslim CITY so its not like I have a wide choice & either way, they're not bad people, at least the friends I hang out with. The only reason that I hang out with those guys is bc of how respectful they are, they've never flirted with me & we don't even hug each other. I told my father that but he still thinks they're evil. I don't know what to do. I honestly feel that having an ignorant, abusive, close minded father is better than having no father & the fact that he's being so immature by not talking to me is pissing me off and it gives this awkward tension around my household. WHAT SHOULD I DO

Whenever I do something bad my mom goes crazy and takes away my sports. For example I was just threatened to have my volley ball taken away, the ironic thing is that if I decided to quit sports all together she would make me do them, it's natural for a thirteen year old to be a little rude and moody to their mom, right, because she acts like I am the only one who has ever been rude to their mom, constantly comparing me to my friends saying, I bet so and so would not have don't this to their mother, is that fair at all?

During my length of college, somehow with my parents, they need to find me volunteer work with their help. Had to go longer to college, and it the same thing - Im graduating January 2016 (at age 24). If I find something without their help it goes into "How did you find it without my help?" and "You not allowed to go just because I haven't found it for you!" If I am allowed to go, they set unrealistic standard on what Im allowed to do if I go (ex I have to be home by a certain time even if it means leaving early just to get home, or leaving early just to stay home and sit in front of tv the whole day just because I have nothing else to do just because they "need me home"). Or they get mad that it not the volunteer work THEY are looking for, so they make me not go. Every once in a while I cant go just because when I was in basement, bathroom, w/e, they go in my room and take my car keys outta my purse without me knowing. Their point is "then I wont be able to find car keys to go, and I will then think I cant go because I cant find my keys." Somehow people think "I let them" but of course not - I never physically gave them my keys , they just took it when I wasn't around (like bathroom or basement).

I'm in 7th grade and my entire grade is going on a 3-day field trip for environmental science to a camp ground with a bunch of fun activities. My mom is okay with me going on the trip, but my dad isn't. He is usually pretty stubborn and his work really stresses him out. It's basically impossible to argue with him. I'm scared to ask again! I don't know one person that isn't going on the trip, and even if we don't go we have to show up at school or else it counts as an absence. My dad won't tell me why I can't go on the trip either, he just says no! It's like this all the time--I'm not even allowed to have sleepovers! Is there any way I can get my dad to let me go (if you had a similar experience please share how you were able to convince your dad)? By the way, the forms are due Wednesday.

Hi everyone. I m a thirteen year old girl and my older brother who s fifteen always beats me up and hurts me so much. I never touch him, if I say hi he ll punch me. He gives me bruises and scratches. My parents watch but they don t even tell him to stop. Is this concerned abuse. What should I do. Please please someone help me.

Trying to Job Hunt and Study for FE exam I'm living with the folks who are constantly on my a** something. At times, I find myself out of their sight but physically shaking with rage, unable to focus, unable to do much of anything productive. Someone have any suggestions?

My family moved from a huge house to a very small one recently b/c my parents retired. Now they are always home and always in my buisness I'm 16 and the main problem is my mom b/c me and my dad and grandpa refuse to speak. My mom always says I'll leave you alone even agreeing to giving me Tuesday Wednesday Thursday after school to chill b/c that's when my 23 year old brother works who has no life outside of snooping in mine. I'm an entrovert being social makes me anxious which I shouldn't be in my own home after a long day at a new school with no friends i just want to be left alone. Not have my backpack phone and social media gone through not have people listen to me practice singing or raping through my door not have to deal with pets that aren't mine. What can I say to her if I bring it up she goes fine I'll leave you alone then she won't cook me any dinner. I'm not even allowed to play music or YouTube videos in my room unless their through headphones I don't have cable in my room b/c I refused getting a cable box just for it to be held over my head. This really is eating me alive I couldn't even moarn my bestfriends death b/c I didn't want to get emotional b/c surely someone was minuiets away from bursting in.

Hi everybody , i swear it's true ,i'm living with my parents , last night i was alone in my bedroom , it was about 3 A.m , i went to kitchen to eat sth , then i came back to my room , i usually take off my pants , i was sick before , i had stomach , my mother thought i'm not okay , so she wanted to check me , she saw me naked , she left , but my door was open , i wore my pants ,after 5 or 6 min i could heard that he came back again and wanted to spy , it was so strange , i didnt know what to do , i think that she wants to spy again tonight , what should i do ? Help me ? Why did she spy last night ? Sorry for bad english

She really enjoys playing the victim. She always talks about how innocent she is and how others take advantage of her kindness and she has an excuse for everything. For example once she told me my sister is more beautiful than me (probably because my sister looks just like her) and then she refused to admit that she did something wrong and claimed that she has the right to say her opinion.She likes to be in the center of attention and she always has a theory about other people conspiring against her and of course she never is at fault. She complains about being in a bad marriage and badmouths my dad. Then I say to her that it's not right to say to me bad things about my father and she han no right to complain about being in a bad marriage since she could get a divorce but never did. Do you think she's narcissistic or just annoying?

Okay so, I recently started med school and there was a reception for the incoming med students where we could bring our families. Most people in med school are from rich backgrounds and they have physicians as parents. I am a first generation college student and my parents are sorta hillbillies. Anyway they were being loud at the banquet and I told them to " shut up and act like you are use to stuff!" I feel kinda bad about it now, but they were embarrassing me.

(My daughter is 12) So the first time she did this, she was sitting on her bed doing something on her phone while I was in the living room, then she just ran in the living room and started making this weird high-pitched noise like a dying whale or a bat... Then she started rolling on the floor and huging her phone, and running in circles And she does it nearly everyday when she's on her phone or computer, I asked her why she's doing it, and she said because she's happy, I'm really worried if something's wrong with her.

I basically have nothing to make my parents proud. I cause my parents pain with my attitude (which i know is my fault). My older brother's the same, but he gets a slap on the wrist. My parents never swear at him, but my mom tells me "**** you" and "go **** yourself". My dad always asks if i want to go to the gym because of my weight, and my brother constantly bullies me, and when i defend myself my parents tell me to shut up or literally just brush me off. At school i don't have much friends, and at work my co workers and brother (he works with me) bash me all the time. Everyday i think about how everyone's live's would've been like if i wasn't born, and to be honest I wish i wasn't here. I don't know what to do, everyday this whole thing takes a toll on me...I want to cry just typing this..

My dad always yells at me for little things. He yells at me and abuses me for things like putting my hair down or up, or even going to the bathroom when he may need to go or if I go to the kitchen to get water or something. He yells at my mom and complains that its her fault and that I don't talk to him, even though literally every time I even walk past him he yells at me or pushes me or something. I've tried my best to just ignore it but he literally yells at me for everything. He holds grudges for years and this has been going on for over a year now. My mom says its haram that I don't talk to him, but every time I even try he curses me and tells me he doesn't give a s*** about me and that he doesn't want anything to do with me. I don't even know what to do right now. What should I do?

So my dad called me and said he missed me and he wanted to see me between the time he doesn't work, he has two jobs. I was really sad cause I missed him and my stepmom said I should make him a card, I made one and told him the we missed him and appreciate and love him and I don't exactly remember what I said but all I was trying to do was tell him how I feel! He thinks I was trying to make him feel bad but I wasn't.. He didn't quit yet but how do I get him to not? And be mad at me?

If she has a problem with me he will yell and scream at me. If I have a problem with her he gets pissed off at me if I don't tell him. But if I do tell him he gets pissed off at me for mentioning his mother. I told him I don't like how she's trying to take over our wedding. He got pissed off at me and threatened to cancel the wedding. I'm paying for it all myself. And his mother wants "help" plan it. Her version of helping is telling me that everything we decide on is wrong/bad. And every time we make a decision trying to change it. Another time (more recently), she did something I didn't like. I didn't tell him because I didn't feel like fighting with him. He figured out that I was upset. He threw a fit, threatened to move out, yelled at me, and got pissed off at me. All that without even allowing me to say what was bothering me. I understand that he's mommy's boyfriend first, my fiance second. As gross as I find it, I can look past that. I can deal with the fact that he refuses to stand up for me, and the fact that he rags on me so much that his mother has told him to treat me better & doesn't believe him when he says something bad about me. But I can't seem to make myself accept the fact that I'm not allowed to say what's bothering me and that he gets pissed off and emotionally abusive any time I get upset. Any advice?

So last night my mom said I can't get a tortoise until I get my driver's license. But I find that unreasonable. I really, really want a tortoise. And I honestly don't think I have to work for this one thing I want. I mean I'll pay for it and all of the stuff that comes along with it. I'm really responsible and a scholar and I'm a really good kid. I am disciplined and all of the sugar and spice in the pot of making a superb kid. So... How is not getting a license easy? Yes, I have my permit and I've taken the drug and alcohol awarness class and sat in a classroom for 30 hours for a required class. So really all I have to do is go take my drivers test. But I don't really know how to drive behind a wheel because my mom made me scared to drive when she screamed when I was practicing with her one day... And ever since then everyone in my family has been tossing behind the wheel and screaming at me for everything. They aren't really patient. My dad said he would by me my tortoise... But everyone in family keeps coming up with excuses and preventing me from getting my tortoise. This morning my mom said: Make sure your "priorities" are right and that everyone sees it. She won't explain what she meant and now I'm lost. Should I just give up on everything? And what does that even mean?

I m a 16 year old teenage girl so don t judge. My mom left for a cruise yesterday and won t be back for another two weeks. I have no way of communicating with her because she can t have her phone and the Internet on the ship is way too expensive. But I ve been super depressed, haven t ate anything and I just refuse to even get out of bed. The worst part is, I ve been bawling since yesterday and can t stop unless I m asleep. Someone please help me! I dont wanna stay this way for the next two weeks, what should I do? Its just that I really miss her. I'm not trying to be selfish or ruin her vacation. I just miss her and don't know how to help myself stop being depressed. I'm just asking for help, not to be criticized. I know I'm a little too old to be asking for this. Some people told me that my mom is just happy to get away from me or that she doesn't want to talk to me, not true. We have a very good and close relationship. I'm not trying to get attention by saying all this, but it's true. It's super hard to even try to do things when all I can do is worry about her and think about her. I know it's only 2 weeks but I really don't wanna stay sad all this time. I just need some advice on how to get over it.

I'm 15 and I have an 18 year old sister, and our parents have been married for 21 years. Our family has a good relationship, there are no problems apart from financial issues from my sister going to University soon. About two weeks ago, I was sitting next to my dad and he was on his phone and on the messages app I saw one from someone called Dan. I can't remember what it said and I didn't know whether it was sent from them or if my dad sent it. The only Dan we know is my dad's nephew who we aren't exceedingly close with, and our decorator/handyman. It just stood out to me because everyone else in his contacts has a first and last name. During that week, my dad was doing something and he had left his phone on charge. Yeah, it might be stupid but I went on his phone which was unlocked anyway and I went on the messages app, but he had deleted the messages. Today, I was next to him again and he was texting our cousin Happy New Year (it's Jewish new year tonight). When he sent it and went back onto the messages app, I saw a conversation with 'Dan' again. It wasn't open, so I don't know who sent it but I read the message and it said "Yes my darling, text me when you're next in the city and we will have to meet up. Love you xxxx" or something extremely similar to it. I want to say something, but it will start a huge argument and I don't think I would ever recover from my parents getting divorced. My mum had breast cancer and I don't want this to make her ill. What should I do?

My mom criticizes me every single day on small things . some of the things she says are : " your eyebrows have no shape" -for me they do - , "you need to have every single thing explained because you don't understand" here i think she calls me stupid and she responds with " I didn't call you stupid , don't put words in my mouth " . In the morning sometimes she says " you have too much makeup on " . Sometimes I cry because she makes me feel bad about myself, sometimes i respond back - but that doesn't work well- , sometimes i get angry. What can i do with her?

Okay so there is one family member who is a really nasty piece of work. She sleeps with married men who have families at home and says she "doesn't care", has abortions left right and centre and tells people she's miscarried (for attention - this annoys me as i've recently had a diagnosis that affects my fertility), tries flirting with sibling's husbands and lies about everything. She uses people for money. She refuses to get a job and makes comments like "aw it must be awful when you have to work for your money". She's not a nice person and for my own happiness i no longer speak to her. Other family members finally saw through her and distanced themselves. I thought this would change her and that she'd realise how important family is and maybe change. She's announced her engagement (she told the family about the price of the ring- not the man she's marrying) and now everyone is sucking up to her, acting like there was never a problem,etc. I'm in uni, volunteer and work and i really want to keep myself distanced and just focus on making my own life but its hard when family members i am very close to, just forgive her over and over. How would you cope with this? How do i stay focused on me and hold my ground when everyone else just forgives her all the time?

I'm 15 and My grandpa passed away of cancer on Thursday. Today tomorrow is the wake and Tuesday is the funeral. FYI his death was definitely not unexpected as he was really really sick but it's still very upsetting. He was very close to me and important to me. I'd love some advice on how to handle the wake and funeral and how to deal with it as time goes on and as I miss him more

I am 13 years old and have no brothers. I have parents and a pet tiger we had for 4 years. My parents bought him for 2500 dollars which took alot of our money away. We used to feed him pounds of meat for 500 dollars a week. But now my dad just got fired from his job and we are all living terribly. We have just enouph money to keep the house but we are starving and very hungry. We dont have much money for food and are giving the tiger scraps now. I am really skinny now like my parents. My tiger is skinny and tired. I lay on him sometimes too when im bored because we own a generater and dont have enouph money for electricity. We do have plenty have gasoline how ever. We have been living like this for a few months. We all share one computer now thats windows XP. Me and my parents refuse to give up the tiger we have the licence legally still and we wont let it go Although, the tiger is extremelly big

Hello, my name is Emily. I am 14 years old and I very much dislike my parents. My parents are the most strict and obsessive people in the world. Most importantly, I wanted to talk about my dad today. My dad loves education more than me. To show so, I recently joined a new sport called Color Guard during the summer of 8th grade. In terms of losing weight and meeting new friends, I decided to do a sport. He apparently didn't know the sport was until November (since it is a fall sport) and is furious that I am still continuing. He asked me "What will you earn by doing that?" And of course, I have nothing to reply because, what can I say? Maybe because I love it, its fun, I make new friends. But no he cuts me off and says "Your grades are going to fall and you will never succeed in the future." This phrase is engraved in my head, pressuring me every single day. I hate my dad so much. I literally cry every night and think to myself what good is it to be in this house? A useless brother, an ignorant mom, and an education-obsessed father. When I was on the bus ride back from a competition one of my friend's parents wished her good luck to the team, and they were so proud of her. I envied her so much. I wish my parents were like that. However, every time I enter the car with my dad and mom the world's most heaviest atmosphere comes in the way. I want to run away so much. I once had, but no one cared, so I want to leave once and for all.
