Posted: 27 Sep 2015 01:23 PM PDT Okay she's my grandmothers sisters daughters daughter. Like My grandmother has a sister who has a daughter, and then her daughter is who I'm talking about. I'm just curious what that would make us. |
Question: Why is my mom doing this? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 01:13 PM PDT I have acne on just my forehead and it's not even that bad. That's the only place I have it. I don't know why my mother cares so much to tell me that I need to wash my face and put acne medicine on it. It doesn't even seem to help. I wash my face and try to take care of it the best I can. She's always telling me how ugly I am just because I have acne. I told her she was being mean and she said she wasn't but she was stating a fact. I get told I'm pretty all the time despite my acne. It's not a fact it's an opinion but she really believes that bringing me down and making me feel insecure is going to make me listen to her and take care of my face. Not only my mom calls me ugly but my brother as well who doesn't have acne at all because he's not at that age. Nobody else is saying these things, it's just my family and it really hurts. Why are they so mean? |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 01:06 PM PDT .Ok so i hit my big brothers nose and my dad told my big brother to beat me up? WTF? |
Question: I want to kill my narcissistic mother.? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 01:05 PM PDT She ruined my whole and I feel useless. She made me feel useless. She made me hate myself. She is the person I'm supposed to trust by nature and shes the most person I hate. I'm her scapegoat and keeps torturing me. |
Question: DID I ABUSE MY SISTER, OR IS MY DAD CRAZY!? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 01:04 PM PDT Today what happened was I went in sisters room to get my cat. Than my sister came after me and started screaming at me to leave the cat alone. And I was like "okay, but can I draw with your marker kit" and she said yes, Than I cut the marker case and she starting crying and screaming because I "broke" the marker case. She violently pushed me out of her room and than went to my dad to tell him. He yelled at me and than told me to go to my room. I than felt bad for "breaking" her marker case so i went to her room to say sorry, but than she didnt even say get out nicely, she just immediantly yelled at me and pushed me out of her room. Than she started blocking her door, cause she doesnt have a lock, and I wanted to get in to apologize and ask for forgiveness, so i pushed really hard on the door. BUT, she put her eye in right when I pushed on the door, and the corner of the door gave her a scratch on her upper cheek, almost near her eye, but not on her eye. She started going bizarre, and cried out saying " NOW IM GONNA BE UGLY FOREVER WITH THIS SCAR" than my dad started going crazy and said he is gonna call child services on me if i ever hit her again and took away EVERYTHING FROM ME! But, i never hit my sister, she hurts me. once she broke my toe and finger, but my dad didnt do anything about it cause he thinks its not a big deal since shes younger. The only times I "hit" my sister is in sibling fights, that happens to everyone! Maybe i am crazy and i just dont realize it... Also what I mean by breaking the marker case is, I opened the top with scissors, and my sister didn't like that I opened it "ugly" so she started crying. She kinda has an OCD thing. |
Question: Is this punishment fair? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 12:42 PM PDT So my dad tells me I m on punishment so I can t use electronics so I m in here already dying and then I say I m going to go outside and then he says I can t do that either so I pretty much just sit here looking at walls for a small little thing. Any ways to convince him to let me just go outside I tried to compromise saying if I go outside I ll lose my electronics for an extra week or two but nooo... So frustrating I m doing this from my brothers phone by the way. |
Question: How can I convince my parents me and my husband are ready to have another baby? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 12:34 PM PDT Ok my situation..... I work 12 hour shift on the weekends and make pretty good but my husband has been unemployed for a year now. He tries really hard to find one and get called for interviews but they are all dead ends. We only have one car also. He helps a ton with our 2 year old daughter and around the house and even cooks on weekends while I'm working. Never complains when I asked him to do anything either. We aren't tight financially and I'm having baby fever bad. I've made out about 3 full pages writing out pros and cons and figuring out financially that we can have another baby. The only problem is my parents are very old school and since he doesn't have a job they deem him as lazy and worthless. I agree I'd love to have a second income in the house but I know he's doing all he can do. I need help about how I can tell them if I do get pregnant without them completely acting like we're stupid for having another baby since he is unemployed. Another small detail is I stay in my great grandmothers old house that was passed down to my dad and now me and I feel like he's going to hold that over my head that I can't afford my own place. I stay rent free but pay all utilities and bills. I have baby fever so bad but I don't want to feel like they are disappointed in me. |
Question: Is giving a baby for adoption bad? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 12:34 PM PDT I'm pretty sure I'm about 5 months pregnant....I've been hiding it from everyone because I have told one person and they told me to get an abortion and I have a very terrible relationship with my mother and I know she wpildnt accept the child as she has told me if I ever get pregnant she won't support and she won't be there. I'm 19 years old. Yea, it's not the best but not worst age to get pregnant. I am with my boyfriend now 2 years. We both love the baby very much bit we want so much more for it. We can't provide a home, family support, the financial stability it needs and we want so badly for our child to be raised in an environment where they are supported through everything and the whole family loves them and they have that family support. Our families just wouldn't support and it would kill us to see our baby blame itsslf...I know there is so much more than material things but I want the world for my baby. I want them to go to school and be able to participate in every sport, to be able to see their parents everyday even if that I'd the adoptive, and to grow up with a loving family. It kills me so much to even think about giving my baby up for adoption bit I've already looked into some families and they look so amazing and just the thought of my baby being happy makes me happy... |
Question: I'm so sad. Today/s my birthday and nobody really cares.? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 12:30 PM PDT I hope I'm not acting like a brat or anything, but nobody in my family is really doing anything for me. They wished me a happy birthday and I got nike pros which I'm thankful for. And they asked me what I wanted for my birthday and there were only two things. - a helix piercing - an iphone 6 or 6s I know the iphone is really exspensive but I've never gotten a new smartphone or anything. I've had those sucky $10 phones until this year I bought myself an iPhone 4s. Everyone at school makes fun of me for it and it sucks. Those were the only two things that I really wanted, but, my mom says yes to the piercing, no to the phone. But my dad says no to the piercing, yes to the phone. My brother also got sick and my sister left for college last week. My dad's home but he isn't even talking to me, and my mom went to the doctor with my brother. I don't mean to sound like a brat but even when there's a day about me, it's not even focused a little about me. I'm just sitting here on my computer and I kinda wanna cry. :( |
Question: How do I deal with my mother calling me a pig? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 12:26 PM PDT I'm fourteen. She hates the music I listen to were I shop, what I choose to do, what I watch. Yea it's basic as hell. Anyway she called me a pig today and I was almost ready to sock one to her but of course just walked away. She's done this before but not frequently. What do I do? (BEFORE YOU ASK IM FEMALE) |

Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:34 AM PDT I am 19 years old, at one point was working, living on my own doing great. My car broke down and my work was so far that the earliest bus didnt get me to work and I lost my job. I was homeless at one point, bounced around from house to house to hotels and more. A girl I know is letting me stay with her but is very unstable and has serious mental issues. I am only allowed to stay here if I stay home everyday and raise her 1 year old and newborn daughter. I need to get a job but I cant if I live with her but she is crazy and extreamly jealous and controling. I've called different shelters but they are open mon-friday and its sunday. I need to know how getting into a shelter works because thats going to decide how I handle things. I stayed with my sister last night because it got so bad, but was only allowed for the night. Tomorrow is monday and I can call the shelter again then but how soon do you get into a shelter? I have 2 possible choices to make. Either I stay with another friend for tonight and then get into a shelter after tonight if it happens like that, or I go back to my current hell situation and deal with it. It all depends on how quick and the process of getting into a shelter?? If it takes more than a night or 2 to get into one, Ill have to go back to where I am currently staying. Please help! |
Question: Is a father's funeral sufficient reason to take time off work? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:31 AM PDT |
Question: What should I do if I love my mother but hate my father? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:31 AM PDT My father is a terrible person and I hate him. He hits me for no reason all the time and I'm to the point I'm too scared to talk to him. I want to get as far away from him as possible but I don't want to be away from my mother. She is a caring person and I love her. I'm not sure what to do I want to be away from my father and live with my mother. |
Question: My Mom Abuses Me? Please help? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:30 AM PDT Hey, I'm Natalie and I'm 14 years old. My mom has been abusing me since I was 4- present. She has been pulling my hair, kicking me, slapping me, punching me, and hits me with objects that leave a mark. The most recent time she hit was right now and I don't know what to do. It's making me feel like I should end my life. I feel like I'm just nothing. Like she doesn't care about my feelings. She'd say rude and insulting things to me that would make me feel even worse. Someone, please help. :( I can't take it any longer. |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:23 AM PDT I have been avoiding my father since our argument. He assumed that I've been talking and texting strangers to meet people when that is not true. I was told by my mother to eat yesterday when I didn't want to. I went and grabbed a bowl of cereal quickly so that I could get away from him downstairs. She told me to eat twice today. I told her the first time that I've already ate. I told her the second time that I'm ready to eat and I went to the restroom and when I came out she was sleep so I went to my room instead of eating. I'm scared to go downstairs because he might get mad at me. I normally go downstairs without any problems but I feel uncomfortable going down there now. She asked me did I eat what she cooked for me and I told her that I ate something different because I'm full when I really didn't eat anything. I feel guilty about lying to her. I'm a disaster right now. Please help I don't want to starve myself to death. |
Question: Nagging child, help? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:23 AM PDT I am working from home today and have to get things done on the PC. My child knows this so before I started at 7am we made cupcakes. Well, she has been in here every 10 minutes telling me she wants to put icing on them. I told her stop nagging me (I am allowed breaks and ate lunch with her). She got fed up and came in whining that I am ruining "her weekend" and "ruining the cupcakes" because they are now too hard for icing. I am done with my work and trying to get her in the shower but all she is doing is telling me about how I ruined everything. Is this hormones? She is 11. I am tired and told her she is not getting any of them if she keeps talking to me this way, help? |
Question: Am I being abused by my family? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:17 AM PDT I remember when I was little, my dad would spank me. I know that doesn't sound bad, but he'd use his hand, a damp wooden spoon, and would make me remove underwear when he spanked me. I remember it being hard to sit down, and there were bruises on my butt from it. But he always said he did it because he loved me. He would also hit me on the hand when I was about 4 and the spankings didn't even start until I was 6 because he thought I should "know better". Now I'm 15 and he doesn't hit me anymore, because I ran away from him and wouldn't come back unless he stopped the spanking. He slaps my brother though. He slaps him across the face till he's in tears. He would spank my little brother sometimes, but not as much as he did to me and my other siblings. I don't really connect with my dad. I find it hard to talk to him sometimes and I am not sure if it's because I remember every cruel thing he ever did to me. He doesn't always curse, but he does maybe a few times a month and he drinks a little more often than he used to. He screams at us when he gets really outraged, and I think he may have anger issues. It seems that, with all the anger my brother has endured from my dad, he himself has become violent. My brother would try to sneak looks at me in the bathroom, he tried to throw a brush at my head, and chased me several times with knives. I remember when I was really little, my dad would try to tickle me "down there". It's made me self concours about boys looking at me. I also figured out a few days ago that when I get really upset over things, my dad doesn't want my sister to help me. He just wants her to "leave me be." My mom has never laid a hand on me, but she has laid a hand on others in my family. I tried to tell my parent s about my needing counseling for over irrational fears and physical and mental conditions, and they never complied. I just now got them to take me to a therapist for my social anxiety issues. I stay with my family because I am too young to leave, but also, we have adopted a little boy from Africa and he's the sweetest thing ever. I'm afraid that without me and my sister there to guide him, he may not always stay that kind, pure soul that he was when he came to America. My parents have actually dared me to call child services and I wanted to. I've even dialed their number, but I've never called. I'm afraid that I might miss them. I have found myself trusting strangers and people I hardly know. I am really attached to my friends.Ifeel like I'm constantly seeking affection and approval from others. I'm afraid that this is because my parents aren't giving me or didn't give me in the past the affection I was needing.It's not like they've never said that they love me. They say it all the time. And they never call me worthless or have beaten me with belts (that I can remember). They at least try to come to all my school events The only thing that I'm not happy with is that I have to get a job at 15 to support my family and I'm also trying to bu a ticket to Florida because my grandma lives there and I know she at least cares for me. I have been very separated from the opposite sex because of the boys in my family and boys in my school I have trusted have sexually harassed me. I think I may be over exaggerating what abuse may be. What should I do since I can't leave for another 2 1/2 years? They still try to give me advice and comfort me every now and then when they know I'm really upset about something. The tension in the house is always significantly higher during the holidays. If it helps, I live in Indiana. I know some law codes are different in other states. |
Question: I got home and saw my crush's sister's boyfriend banging my sister?? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:17 AM PDT My crush and I are friends and our families know each other.

Question: What's wrong with male relative? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:15 AM PDT Our male relative is a pain in the ***. He has no friends and keep complaining about where he came from. He came from working class back ground and his home did not look like glamour. Nobody in the family wants to hear him talk. You never hear him say, he went to the beach and had a great day. Some people's homes look neat, and glamourous. He was messy but his parents were nice people. |
Question: How can I convince my parents to let me go on a trip? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:07 AM PDT This trip happens to be VERY IMPORTANT, my friends and I made a short film & it's going to be in this super cool really prestigious film festival in New York City (in 2 weeks!) we just found out we are going to win an award! All my friends and their parents are going, and my best friend/boyfriends mom invited me to go with them (I would just have to pay for my own stuff). My parents are unable to go, but not because of funds (I'd say my family has some $$$). I'm turning 17 in 2 weeks and I've already graduated highschool (I've also been on plenty of school trips as well). So right now, my parents are on edge about me going, and apparently my mother believes I don't deserve to go?!?! So I've been working for booty off for the past 2 days, doing as many chores as I can find to do. She just gets annoyed when I ask her about it, and said she'd talk to my dad. IM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW. I need to book the flight today or else it's going to be sold out. |
Question: How to not be home alone while family is on vacation? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:54 AM PDT My family will be on vacation for 8 days but I don't want to be home alone for that time what should I do? |
Question: He doesn't want to forgive my parents and move on...? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:54 AM PDT I wish I had a solution to my problem but...I don't...my parents came for the delivery of my son. They were unable to adjust and picked on my husband over his silly habits. My husband kept his calm then but one day things went up the water and the argument broke with insults and abuses and my parents left just three days after the birth of my son. I was drenched with sadness and u able to realize why and what happened. My parents wanted me to take their side and my husband wanted me to be at his side. That time I saw my husband right and took his side. However, after 5 months I visited my grandma and they arranged a surprise meeting with my parents. My husband was taken by shock and he didn't want to stay there: however I was reluctant to leave and wanted to reconcile. Things went out of water again and police again coz of the heated arguments. We came back home and after that my husband said I'm allowed to meet my parents but they would never be able to meet my son. He talks rubbish about them, if I defend, he gets mad and angry..if I'm quiet..I get upset..what should I do? Talking is of no help :( believe me I've tried everything... |
Question: Should I hate my Mom? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:43 AM PDT She's probably one of the worst mothers out there. She's done some messed up crap to me and I know someone on here is gonna say.... she raised you and she provided for you but does that automatically make someone a good mom? Next summer shes planning on moving to Virgina for a guy she met online and only has known for about year. She has five kids. Two in high school, one in middle school, and two in elementary. She also has my step dad here. He's a great guy and has been a dad to all of us. He got out of jail and turned his whole life around for himself, us, and MY MOM mostly and she still is ungrateful. She's not even thinking about her kids. I'm 16 and I have a job and plan on getting an apartment. I dont know what to do. |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:38 AM PDT A guy wants his father's support in his marriage but he is willing to marry who he wants, even without his father's acceptance. What is the word for that kind of behavior? |
Question: What does someone do when their neighbor everyone they know hated each other dies? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:26 AM PDT I mean should someone just mind their own business instead of voicing their happiness? The neighbor was an old woman who was friends with their grandmother who physically abused them, she also jeered at them while they lived in poverty and followed them around hurting their reputation. Friends know and understand but other neighbors may not sympathize with the victim. What should they do? . |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:26 AM PDT My parents are divorced. My dad lives in Minnesota and my mom is never home. She is ALWAYS at her boyfriends. I see her maybe for an hour or two every Sunday. I m 16 and I was wondering if there was a law saying maybe I could move out or something. I m 16 and I live in the state of Georgia. |
Question: Ideas for a nice 16th birthday party without it being a stress on my parents? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:18 AM PDT My older sister didn t have one, she doesn t like crowds, and I think she may have been going through a bad mood stretch of the summer, but I d like to have one without it being something huge. I don t really want to have it at my house either... what are some ideas for activities or venues that aren t too expensive, time consuming, or flashy? |

Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:13 AM PDT Im 8 months pregnant and want to leave my bf of 2 years. I lived with him and his family for the past year which was a big mistake. Literally none of his family speaks to me ever and it's so awkward. I know this place will never be my home. I want to leave. My only choice is to live with my mom. Though she doesn't know I'm pregnant so not sure how she'll take it. What's holding me back is guilt. I convinced my bf to buy us furniture, I helped pay half. But he bought almost every single thing for the baby and the crib is already built. I have a lot of stuff here so I feel like it'll be difficult to move everything out mainly bc it'll be time consuming and drain me emotionally to pack up. I also don't want to have to deal with child custody and all that nonsense so I feel compelled to stay. But I'm so unhappy with him. He's cheated on me before and he talks to his ex who he still has feelings for behind my back and won't stop even though i asked him to 100s of times. He treats me okay now but he used to treat me like complete shi. And I'm just done with him. We purposely got pregnant but in retrospect it was a big mistake. He straight up told me in the past he never wants to marry me but my dumb self thought I could change his mind. Just looking for any advice or hope? |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:08 AM PDT For example my mother was mad yesterday that I visited by aunt (her sister) who has been badmouthing my mother apparently though did not bad mouth her to me. Another aunt on the other side of my family is an alcoholic and I have only been permitted to go to something she is at one time since my grandmother's death in 2013. I am aged 15. The aunt is never violent but gets grouchy when drinking. |

Question: How to Cope with Losing a Family Member? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 09:51 AM PDT I just lost my grandfather yesterday and I feel so empty. He had been fighting cancer for 2 years and he finally passed away at the age of 84. I can t stop crying and thinking about all the things that I could have done to make his life a little happier when he was healthy. I don t know how to cope with this, I wanted him to live longer, but I feel so selfish for wanting that because he was suffering so much. This is the first time that I ve ever lost a close family member and it hurts whenever I think about it. |
Question: Why is my life so bad? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 09:47 AM PDT |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 09:47 AM PDT My mother is wonderful, although one habit that drives me crazy is giving me constant unsolicited advice and instructions about doing things, as if I were a complete moron, and phrased as "you have to" or "you need to" or the like. For example, she is on vacation and so I picked up her dogs from the kennel and am dog-sitting them, and I am helping her with her travel. I am well aware that the kennel is open only at certain times. Yet she emailed to say, "you need to get to the kennel when it is open, which is only before noon on weekends, and when you pick up the dogs, you have to let them know that you'll be dropping them off early on Sunday morning and will have to make sure that they are there then." Duh, I looked at the kennel website, checked the hours, and figured out when I can stop by. Further, even though she can't even figure out how to check herself in online, she sent detailed and wrong instructions about her ticket: "since your father has a separate confirmation code he cannot get upgraded, and so you have to call the airline and get them to merge our confirmation codes." That's not true at all; I am a very frequent flyer and am well aware of how upgrades work, and she's totally wrong. I usually respond by saying, "I am capable of handling this", and "I checked with the kennel before I made my plans" and "I've been a very frequent flyer for 20 years and regularly deal with upgrades". She then gets mad. Is it best just not to respond at all? Thanks. |
Question: Can depressiom be transmitted to offsprings? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 09:35 AM PDT so Ive been wondering if depression or things similar to that can be transmitted to their offsprings. Say if a woman has been depressed throughout her childhood, has anxiety and needs pills to subside those symptons, can those traits be present in her children if she has any? What if the father also suffers similar things? Whay if the father doesnt suffer those things? |
Question: How to I let my parents be okay with my living an adult life ? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 09:30 AM PDT My parents are old school, and my mom is sick so it makes things complicated. Most of my friend are. Getting engaged and married. I feel I'm being held back. I can't do many of the things people my age do. My parents are against my boyfriend, and I living together. Going on trips, and spending the night. They'remaking if difficult to spend time together,because we got pregnant only end up having a miscarriage. Negative comments are made almost a daily routine when it comes to the boyfriend. It also be an issue. I try to point out my female friends are living an adult life, without it being an issue. They have their own place without it being a problem, or they can come, and go as they please. They go on trips, and nothing gets said. They just have to paid for it themselves. I feel if I push to hard everything will blow up, and get turned into something it's not. I know it will. |

Question: My parents allowed my deceased daughters things to get destroyed. Can it be fixed? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:49 AM PDT She was 6 days old when she passed away I never got to take her home. After she passed they took a hand and foot impression .. All these years my dad has told me they were safe in a bank vault.. which I trusted because he does have a bank vault where he keeps things. Well yesterday I was cleaning out my sons closet.. a room which use to be m y moms.. and there were the hand and feet prints in a zip lock baggy covered in mold. I'm so hurt and devastated to say the least. Is there a way to fix it? I'm not sure what the imprint base is made of but it's not a hard glossy surface like we use to make in school.. it is kind of soft and spongy. I'm afraid to try to wash it.. if I painted it would that work? |
Question: Why is my dad so nice and friendly to others but not us? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:45 AM PDT at home he's always angry, yelling at the the smallest stuff and just making a big deal of everything. |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:41 AM PDT my brother is around 45 years old. he still lives with my mom and has three kids. 21, 13, 9. the 21 year old he hasn't seen since she was 1, her mom took her to a different state. anyways, for the kids he is still responsible for raising, I want them to draw him a picture. I want them to write a sentence or two explaining how his drinking effects them and makes them feel. and then draw him a picture of something they wish they could do together but can't because of his drinking. he doesn't have a car or a job, he doesn't go to any family gatherings be it funerals, weddings, reunions. he hasn't bought a Christmas gift since they were babies. I tell my brother how his drinking makes me feel all the time, but I'm just his sister. and I am angry about it (lost all my patience with him when he walked over to my grandparents house-not his grandparents house, they're not related-whom he hasn't spoken to in 20 years, wasted in the middle of the night to tell them I'm pregnant when he knew I had a special reveal planned). is it wrong putting the kids in the middle? I explained that if he keeps drinking, it's not because they failed or he doesn't care about whatever they decide to write, but it'd be nice for him to have something tangible, in their own words, explaining how he's missing out on precious years. if you have any other advice, I'd appreciate it. he does love his kids so I think that's an angle that might get him to start showing effort. there has been no effort. |

Question: How do I work things out with my parents? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:28 AM PDT They want me to go to church every Sunday and we have been getting in arguments because I don't feel the need to go (I'm not Christian). I recently signed up for a lot of college classes and I've been constantly stressed with those so I just want to relax on the weekend. They said it's my fault I signed up for all these college classes and that out of all the things they do for me, the least I can do is go to church. Is there a way to meet in the middle with my parents? |
Question: Need help with a family situation---read below? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:28 AM PDT My mother and step-father are moving and I am happy to help them but one of the three days they will be moving is my birthday and the day of something I want to go to with my father and grandparents on his side of the family. My mother gets furious when I pick him over her and got pissed with me two years ago on my birthday for it so she wrecked the evening. So how can I appropriately tell her I would rather do my birthday with my Dad and grandparents and will help her the other two weekends? My birthday is next Sunday. The threat my mother feels is that I favor my Dad over her and my Dad's parents over her mother. I do not favor either but I grew up with my mother so I do get more excited with my Dad. I am aged 26 going on 27. |
Question: I'm about to be homeless I need help? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:26 AM PDT I decided to come back home I found out my mom was having heart failure I used to drive over the road. My mom and stepfather was having problems. My mom told me he was cheating. I found a good job at the Marriott resort saved money for a car and a place. Before I could move out of my parents place my mom and stepfather, said they was behind on bills and had two days to come up with the money. I give them the money cause I was living there but it put a hold on getting a car or moving out. My Job slow season came we work 10 months out the year and two months off, after the two months I just started going back to work. I come home today and had to break up my mom and stepfather from almost fighting. My stepfather have not paid the rent in two months plus late fees so now they have three days to move out I just started back working at my job . I feel like if my stepfather knew he wasn t go pay the rent after I helped bail them out of the first eviction threat he should let me take my money get my car and place so I can move on with my life. I feel he used me for my money saved his money now moved out leaving me and my mom behind with three days to move he left my mom stuck with her back against the wall. Now it s just me and my mom no money no car because we all shared the car my stepfather father took it s in his name but my mom give him the money to get it. I m stressed out with only three days to move I m about to be homeless what are some solutions to my problem |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:18 AM PDT Ok so last Sunday I went so see my family as I haven't seen them in 3 weeks and it was my dad's birthday on Monday. My boyfriend said this was fine as he was working so wouldn't be on his own. Then after two hours of me being there he texts me to say he can't do everything on his own and that I should be doing his paperwork.... After the 3rd hour and being guilt tripped even more I left without going to see my grandma who I've not seen for 6 months, just because I didn't want to come back to a massive lecture on how I don't do enough to help him and I should be doing his paperwork. I then spent 4 hours doing his paperwork completing it all at 7pm. Even whilst he sat there watching me do it, too tired to help himself apparently. So..... This week I've sold my landy 'shed as he called it' to get a car because we can't go long distances in land rovers with them being uncomfortable, this said I don't have a vehicle now to get about. This Sunday his friends have come over which is lovely they are nice people, the girls have gone for dinner and he was going to the pub with the lads for a few hours. He's been gone since 12. Guess what I've not nagged him that I need him to come find a car with me. Nor have I given him hassle over this matter. I can't get around because he smashed my bike up a few months ago and when I do go anywhere it's always where are you going when are you back. Constant. |
Question: How to be nicer to family? especially to dad? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 08:02 AM PDT |
Question: Why is the feeling of not loving my mother grows deeper? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 07:57 AM PDT I grew up with a mom who thinks she is a great mother. She criticizes and it is not even a constructive sort. She has mood swings but I do not think it is fair to be such towards a child. Now, being an adult, I could forgive the hurt she has given me as a child but she does not seem to change a bit. We argue and most times, I become defensive and I do not feel guilty if I have hurt her feelings. I truly do not like myself being this way. I hate having this hatred feeling. I would not want to trade her for anything/anyone in this world. I am not sure what am I looking for here in Y!Answers but I am a bad daughter? |

Question: Arent my parents bad people, to be laughing at inmates on penpal sites? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 07:11 AM PDT My dad was trying to find someone on a inmate database. Then for some reason he went on a penpal site for inmates. And he called my mom over. and then they both sat and read the inmates penpal profiles, about how they are reformed characters and how they love writing poems and drawing cats and romantic walks. And my parents would laugh hysterically for like 5 minutes. (My mom even said her face hurt from laughing) Then they would go on the states database and find the inmate to see what their crimes were. And it would usually be things like sexual assault or attempted murder. Then my parents would laugh again. They spent like an hour doing this. And my dad was saying its good entertainment for a Sunday afternoon. This isnt very nice of them is it?? And my dad just went to church this morning. |
Question: What is my true problem and how do I solve it? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 06:53 AM PDT I had to place my breakfast in the garbage because I feel to emotional to eat. I have been avoiding my father because of the argument that we had about my phone. He bothers me a lot about being in school activities just because he was involved in them and he thinks my high school years will not be enjoyable for me if I don't get involved. He is not happy when I tell him maybe and he wants a yes. I'm trying to come out of my shyness slowly but he constantly rushes me to do it. I have been watching porn and doing other strange things due to emotional issues. I can't focus in school because of emotional trouble. I don't know what to say to him right now and he will take me to school so that means that I have to see him. I yelled at him for checking my phone. I don't text anyone or call a lot. I just watch porn and look at naked people. He thinks that I talked and texted someone else when I didn't. He is confused. I can't do what I want because i have to worry about him checking the phone records. What should I say to him if asks me about something that I'm not interested in instead of maybe? He is an untrustworthy father because he feels the need to check the phone records even though I'm not in any danger. My mother don't bother me. I have to sit in his truck with him because he takes me to school tomorrow. My mom forced me to eat yesterday day because I was avoiding leaving my room to eat because my father was downstairs. I'm considering becoming a homosexual as well. Help me? |
Posted: 27 Sep 2015 06:38 AM PDT Hi! My dad has an addiction to buy candy as much as possible. Me and my mom tries everyday to make him stop, because he keeps feeding us with it, wich is a problem, because we will gain a lot of weight. I've never been fat or overweight, but i can see on my body, that i am gaining more weight than usual. It is really annoying, because i want to stay in a good shape, but it is quite impossible, since my dad keeps feeding me with candy. We are trying to say no to all the candy, but he begs us to eat it. As said, we have also told him about our hatred to his addiction, but he does not seem to care. My mom also hides all the candy as much as possible, but then my dad thinks, that we have no candy, so he goes buy some more. Please, if you have a tip or anything, i will be more than pleased. |
Question: How do I convince my mom to let me stay at my friend's house? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 06:38 AM PDT My mom let my aunt and her family stay with us since they got kicked out of their apartment. Before they moved in there were only three people in our house: me, my mom and my brother. Now our place is overcrowded since my aunt and her five kids live with us. And I have to share my room with two of my cousins and I have no privacy or quiet. My friend told me that her mom would be okay with me stay with her for awhile. I know if I stay with her I will have my own room again and plus I can see my mom all of the time since they do stay down the street from us. I haven't asked her yet since I want to ask her just the right way. How do I convince her to do this? |
Question: Is it right for a girl to hug a boy everytime they meet or say goodbye? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 06:15 AM PDT I'm an older brother who is protective. My younger sister always follow my advice because I'm usually right and know lots of things through experience. But I'm stuck on a certain issue because I'm of opposite gender. The issue is "hugging". I'll try to make it brief. We are friends with a family neighbour for over 10 years. The family has a son who is two or three year younger than my sister. Obviously, they are almost like childhood friends. The boy is a nice kid, nice to me and all, respectful. The thing is when they were younger, the boy asked a sexual question to my sister and, thankfully, my sister told us what happened at that time. They got in trouble, yes, we spoke with the parents of that family and he got scolded and my sis were banned to talk to him for months. Anyway, the issue has been resolve. We knew they were young and it's bygone-be-bygones, they learned a lesson. Past forward to the present, my sister is old enough but still a teen, and he is a younger teen. The boy occasionally go to our house to deliver food or just hang out, but rarely. With the technology today, you really don't need to hangout in person, you can hangout in the web (facebook, twitter, snapchat, etc). So it's not like my sister and the boy have been completely separated. Anyway, recently noticed that everytime my sister says goodbye to the boy, they hug. In my family, we really never hug (well except my mother and sis). I confronted my sister about it, but (see below) (continued) but she told me that her highschool taught her that it's the correct way. Yes, I do see in their school that there is hugging for greetings and all. But I'm still uncomfortable about it. There has to be a limit to things. A hug to a friend should last only a second, right? Anything more than that could be wrong. Am I looking too deeply? I'm very distrustful to boys, being a boy and all. What do you think? Thanks. |
Question: How can I convince my parents to let me buy an iPhone? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 06:15 AM PDT So, I almost convinced my mom to let me buy an iPhone, which I was going to buy with the money I earned. But then she posted some pictures of me on facebook and I deleted them because: 1. I really looked terrible in those pics, 2. She accepts friend requests from really weird people and I don't want them to see mu face because they may be pedophiles. I explained her that I don't want any picture of me to exist on facebook. She got mad, screamed at me for one hour and she said "I'm not gonna get you an iPhone because you did this." and she hadn't been talking to me for three days straight. I find it really stupid that she made such a big deal out of that. After she started talking to me again I tried to convince her (again). I told her that I could pay for the phone, that I don't want it because it's Apple, that I kinda deserve it because I have good grades, that I didn't ask for anything for my birthday/ Christmas/ Easter for two years, that I had the biggest grade in the district in a very important exam etc. I know I sound like a spoiled brat or whatever, but I really need help. *my face, whoops, sorry I feel like if I told her I wanted a phone from another brand with the same price she would have said yes |
Question: Was this rude of my mother? Posted: 27 Sep 2015 06:14 AM PDT I am having a hard time with my pre-teen daughter. I am working on discipline and she fights me a lot. We went out to eat yesterday with my family. I will discipline her at the table or whenever I see fit if she is disrespecting me. Yesterday, she was behaving well and my mother said "Well, it's nice to see you two getting along for once.". I told my mother "thanks, but please don't say that." as she knows it was somewhat sarcastic. My child saw this as a great opportunity to humiliate me and said "What are you saying, that I can't get along with people and have a bad attitude??" Of course, it set off a chain of events where I had to say we didn't say that and she said "yes you did" and so on... it ruined the lunch. Was this rude? |
