I get off of school at 12:10 every other day due to an off period and 2:25 for the other days yet I wait at school until 4:30 because that is the earliest I can be picked up and that's fine but most of my hw is online so when I get home around 5 i start homework. I start school at 7 due to a 0 period and only get 4-5 hrs of sleep every night because of hw. When I get home I start hw (I usually have about 4-6 hours worth of hw everyday) and at around 8 my dad gets home and says that I hate him, don't want to talk to him etc. I always tell him that after I finish hw I'll go talk to him as much as he wants even if it's really late and I always go through with my promise. Sometimes I just have too much hw and club (I'm vp for the volunteer organization at my school) responsibilities and I run out of time but god forbid I put my studies first. When he's angry, it's scary. A few days ago I was at a friends house studying and he sent me, "You are an amazing ungratefull inconsiderate spoil brat is what you are." And made me walk home because he was having a "bad day." Today he called me trash and my mom being his lap dog rooted him on yelled at me for wanting me time and some privacy during weekends. I barely had time juggling junior year, clubs, sports, family, and work. I feel like this is unfair but I can't do anything but wait 2 more years. Basically my question is, "am I in the wrong for wanting my priorities to be school work me then everything else?"

I do seriously hate her. I'm 13 and she's 17. She's so freaking annoying. I just hate her, the idea of her, I hate how she does things. I feel so revolted. I hate MYSELF for hating her. She's my sister, I shouldn't hate her. But I do. I feel like killing myself because I'm the worst person and sister ever. But it's just the way I think about her. I feel so terrible. What should I do? She's literally a *****. She always thinks she's better than me and then I have to do all the chores and **** because she's "older". And she gets everything her way. And that isn't the only reasons, (those are pretty stupid reasons to hate someone.) But it's how I think. I just literally hate her. I wouldn't care if she died or if she's gone. Sometimes I wish that she did die. Whenever she goes somewhere on a trip, even for like as long as a month, I'm so relieved. I feel so ******* bad. Okay, yeah, I probably do need counseling.

I'm 21 years old living with my boyfriend and we're expecting a baby girl in November. We live in an area where Pitts are allowed and legal to own. My boyfriend and I also have a Pitt bull named Hope, well ever since I got pregnant my mom has been trying to get us to put our dog down claiming that she's a "dangerous threat" which Hope is not. Our Pitt has done nothing wrong to my mom, whenever she's over Hope hides in our bedroom even though she doesn't have to. Hope has always been around babies/children and never once offered to do anything wrong to them, if they are at the apartment she's hiding in the bedroom. After I threw my mom out of our apartment after a heated argument, she texted me saying that she'd call the authorities on us for "child endangerment" Can she legally do this? Hope has done nothing wrong to anyone and we're allowed to own her.

Hi guys I am 16 years old my father and mother are divorcing but my mom is still in my fathers house want my mom to cancel the divorce and get along with my father and a happy life my mom wants that too but my father is the problem I hate him a lot cause he doesnt want my mother to live with us anymore he makes big problems from small ones and its very hard to talk to him if I said something he doesnt like he would stop giving us money for house supplies or he would hit me though I am a guy and I am 16 he is so harsh and mean and all he cares about is his money I hate him a lot cant talk to him because of what he does if I did talk to him yesterday my mom brought her friend to the house and my father came he told my mom to bring him cup of coffee but she didnt hear him so he told her a bunch of bad words infront of her frnd mean me my mom my sister were all embarrassed cause my frnd heard him say the bad words and she left want a way to stop them from doing that I know it isnt my mother's fault its my father's but he doesnt listen and doesnt care and if we told him to give us money for home supplies he would say : I gave u 100$ a week ago and then leave he would not take us out to anywhere at weekends and he would go and try hit my mother plz someone help..

I'm 15 and I keep having to cancel plans with people because my mom won't drive me. I sometimes ask for a ride, but I feel really guilty when I do it pretty much every weekend with sometimes the same friends. As I said, I'm only 15 so it's not like I can drive myself places. If I could, I would. She keeps complaining she doesn't want to take ~45 minutes out of her day to drive me somewhere yet she is not doing anything even though she claims she has plans she doesn't most of the time. Then, when I bring up my problem to her, she calls me "ungrateful". I'm not ungrateful for her driving, if she drives me I am grateful I am just ungrateful for her attitude with it. She then also says that all other kids go through this, but that's bullshit. Today I had plans with three kids and all of their parents were willing to drive them back and forth but mine. What do I do? It is honestly getting on my nerves so much and it's making my life miserable and I feel like I'm missing out. Not to be cheesy, but I only have 4 years in high school and the first year went by really fast. I want to have tons of experiences but I'm missing out on them because I can't go. PS: I do have a sister who JUST got her license, and she drove me to something once, but she has plans of her own a lot with people and plus my mom doesn't let her drive after like 7:30 or 8:00 so she can't drive me much. My dad works 5 days a week and is always pretty much actually working on weekends at home so he can't. Advice? To the first answer: I'm a dude..... even if I have a GF (which I don't), she wouldn't have her license. No one in my grade does. Second answer: I walk all the time to one of my best friends houses (maybe like 10 minutes) or to my high school since I play on sports teams, or to play pick up basketball, etc. I can't walk all my plans though. The mall, for example, is 20 minutes drive from my house.... That isn't a solution that works for everything although I do walk a lot.

Okay so i was talking to my mom about when o can get a car and just other things. I asked her about when my curfew was and she said 7 and i asked her about my summer curfew. She said 6 or 7 and i asked why it wouldn't be later and she didn't really say anything she just said no again. I told her about my friends sister who's curfew is midnight during the summer and the reason is because her dad trusts her enough to let her go out until 12. My mom said she doesn't trust any teenage girl and i asked if she trusted me and she didn't say anything. Now when my mom doesn't say anything it's because she doesn't want to tell you no. She's also told me i can't date until i'm over 21 and i told her when i'm 18 i can do what i want since i'm legally an adult. I then asked her why. She didn't say anything. I asked her why she didn't trust me and then she screamed at me but never answered my question. This is really getting on me because i've never done anything to upset my mom or go behind her back. I'm in all advanced subjects and get all A's. It makes me feel really bad that she doesn't even trust her own daughter even though i've never done anything to make her lose her trust for me. I've tried talking to her about it but when i do she just screams at me or lies to me and tells me she does but when faced with the questions above she says no to them because she doesn't trust me. Pleasehelp.

Okay so first of all I love my family (parents,siblings,aunts/uncles and cousins), but I dislike going to family gatherings. Like I don t mind going to big gatherings like weddings, graduations, or stuff of that nature. The problem is that my family has a gathering like every weekend and sometimes during the week for no real reason. My parents go to most if not all of them and I hate going. All my cousins also go and my whole family goes. I m the one that doesn t go regularly and now some of my aunt s talk ****, and when I do go they just say "look who still remembers who his family is." Any advice? Ideas? Something? (I m not depressed or anti social)

So like my parents are probably the biggest pot heads in the world. How do I know? I see them smoking it. They drink heavily every night right in front of me like everything is all normal. Soo I had a cooler with 2 beers in it in my room and they found it and got super mad. Like should they? Kinda hypocritical. I'm 17 btw. It's their house but it's invading mu privacy. Me and my parents are very close and like each other a lot but they obviously dont trust me. If I were to even step 1 foot in their room they'd be mad for a week. Also, can only parents answer this question? Thanks

I'm 27 years old and I still live at home with my parents. I'm unemployed, I have Bipolar Disorder, I'm very overweight and I get money each month from Government Assistance. My mom is in charge of my money and does my grocery shopping. My dad drops me off wherever I want to go. I've never been a social person so the definition of a perfect evening is me locked up in my room with some good snacks, my laptop, and some great books to read and movies to watch. My brother is the Golden Child. He's healthy and back in school and working hard. My parents make it clear that they're proud of him for focusing on his dreams. But any time I attempt to go back to school they start telling me why I won't make it. The only time I can have a good relationship with them is when I'm acting like their dog, not a person. I've accepted it and learned to love it because in this society, especially as a Black family, we all have it hard. Am I making sense here? I used to hate my mom for never showing me the same love or encouragement that she shows my brother. But now I realize, I'm lucky to have a bed to sleep on so she can treat me how ever she wants.

My mom is always drunk. every night. I'm sick of it. She won't feed me or anything. I've tried to talk to her about it and she just says "Everybody drinks" stuff like that..

I am a 16 year old male. I am really close to my grandma she is 72 and I see her everyday but when I go to bed at night I keep on thinking she doesn't have long left and I feel guilty for going out or doing something without her. Help me?

So my father isn't a broke alcoholic who can't hold a job. He's a professor at a university, and our family looks normal from the outside. But the truth is, he can be a complete asshole. I still remember this one time I heard loud noises, and I thought it was laughing, but it was actually my father beating up my older brother. I went up stairs and saw him kicking him and my brother was on the floor bawling. For what reason, I'm still not sure, but my brother (in tears) threatened to call 911. The whole experience was such a stressful burden for me, I was only a kid. And more arguments came up until my brother went to college. He and my father have a good relationship now, but that's mostly because he's out of the house and they don't see each other everyday. Well now, all his yelling goes towards me. In the past few years, I haven't been getting 4.0s, and I can tell my parents are disappointed on the inside. But my mom is supportive and knows how to talk to me like a clivilized person. My dad on the other hand, he's a stubborn b*tch and has anger outbursts that I can't handle. Recently, I've started cussing at him because I just can't help it. He calls me dumb and stupid because I can't get a 4.0, and he doesn't know that I've been trying as hard as I can. He is so detatched, and only cares that I get good grades and so I can go to medical school or some sh*t. He doesn't know that I work my a** off trying to keep my grades up. Wtf am I supposed to do? Also, my mom gets very mad when I cuss at him, it's almost as if she's disregarding everything he had said to me.

My family wants to move across country , currently in RI. my sister wants to move to CA and i want to move to WA. my mom is kinda half and half what do yall think?

We're down in the kitchen, cleaning it together. I'm cleaning out the pantry. He then starts to tell me what and how to clean it. Something I'm used to so, I was "thankful" for the help. He then reaches over me, grabs our youngest halloween bucket with candy (yes from last halloween) and says "like this" and then dumps the candy out. I start laughing telling him he's going to be in so much trouble. (she counts how much candy she has left daily) He then totally takes on a serious tone, calls her down and immediately starts going into this rant of how they have to much candy..etc, I then again make a joke and say "daddy's just trying to get out of trouble for throwing your candy out" he again, takes on a totally serious tone and states "I'm not even going to joke like that, I don't get in trouble by my own kids." (which is totally not how I meant it..we joke like that ALL the time, plenty of times he tells the kids that "mommy's being mean" joking around etc.") Well, then they start joking together and she knocked over my coffee cup, in which he yelled at her for, she then ran up to her room crying. This caused us to then get into a fight because it totally pissed me off. Then, I'm downstairs still cleaning out the pantry, our oldest had placed a blanket in the washer that caused it to go off balance because I told her to put it in his opinion on the wrong setting. This caused another fight. ... on probably at this point both our parts. The problem is. This happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. we are trying to get things done in the house. Its like he can't clean the house without starting or causing a fight. And I try So very hard to not give in. Each time, I tell myself, ignore him, don't give in to the comments, don't say anything when he does something in an annoying way, etc. But he'll do something so assinine (I know, spelled that wrong) and I just can't help but say something. Its almost to the point to where, he can't be home. Can't be home, when we are cleaning. I mean..how hard is it to stay on your part of the kitchen, clean it and leave everyone in the house alone to do their jobs? Whether you think they're doing it right or not. He got the sink and window sill and counter next to it clean. Now he's upstairs on the bed, doing nothing. So, again, he caused a fight (which he says I caused) and gets out of cleaning around the house.

Okay, my brother married this girl. She's legit the most two faced and hateful and judging person you will EVER meet and my mom says I HAVE to be nice to her because of my nephew and my brother. She has stolen from me and she looks at me hateful tells other people my business and I cannot stand her and my brother wants to spend time with us sometimes him and my little nephew and she of course obviously has to come along and all she does is fuss and argue with him and complains and steals from me and looks at me hateful and I really cannot stand people like her. What should I do when my mom says I can't be mean back? I always stick up for myself so idk what I should do with this.

Okay, so it started a month or two ago. I tend to lock my door because... I like to act out scenes from my stories and dance and stuff. It's really nerdy, but my parents and siblings do not know how to knock, and I am really bad at acting and dancing, so I WANT MY PRIVACY. They took my door off of my doorway. There is no way I am going to tell that that I act out scenes and so on, so I just accepted that they invaded my privacy even though locking the door during the day is not a problem. So, I retreated to acting in the bathroom. Naturally, I will lock the door, and if someone wants to go to the bathroom, I just kind of wait until they are finished to go back in and continue. It's kind of pathetic. Also, the universe hates me, so my sister decided to drop the news to my dad that I was 'sitting on the toilet and watching videos and not letting her in.' REALLY?!?! I want somewhere to do this crap in peace, and they took away all of my privacy because of the fact that I lock doors. My dad yelled at me today, only using what he learned from my sister as reason for argument, and not even considering that she was assuming things. Why can't I have my privacy, and how can I get SOMETHING back?!?!

Yeah, I know this sounds psychological and mental but no it isn't. There's this game called Until Dawn in which some characters die by their heads cut off, and BY MISTAKE I imagined my family's heads cut off. That's so brutal, I even apologized to God (please no attacking atheists). I can't stop imagining for some reason. I don't want them to die in such a way, especially my mum. What the hell do I do?

My dream has always been to be a model, I absolutely adore modelling! Whenever I check videos about basic requirements and in a lot of them they said for runway you need to be about 5 9 , I m currently 5 7 and I know in New York you can t be on the runway if you re under 16 so that gives me a bit more time to hopefully grow, so is there any way of knowing how tall I will be when my growth is over? My half brother, (same Mum different Dad) is 6 2 where as my other brother, ( same Mum and Dad) is 19 and is 5 3 , my Mum is 5 7 and my Dad is 5 9 . Thank you!!

They get on my nerves every single day it s annoying and whatever I do my mum blames it on my phone and she says some really rude things to me and like I can t replay because it will make me look "disrespectful" and will yell at me and every 2 seconds she will keep complaining about how i never do anything and I m always too rude and I never listen which by the way is not true I would ve done something 2 seconds ago she wanted me to do , my dad isn t the best either and like i want to move so badly out of here but I can t because I m at young age to move btw I m 14 and anything I do is disrespectful to them , I m so fed up with them I even thought about committing suicide harming myself but I just can t do it they are making me feel worthless anything I do they don t like it, I can t anymore it lowered my confidence a lot I just can t take it

I m 19 and yesterday, I went out with my mother, stepfather and both my brothers just to have good family time. I was having fun until my stepfathers friends arrived. My stepfather likes to hang out with people who are much younger than him and they were both drunk and they were high. I was fine with it because for the most part I ignored their stupidity and lack of mentality but one of them was carrying drugs with them and he tried to get into a fight with another man. I became upset, I didn t say anything of course, but I was extremely worried for my brothers sake. To make the story short, my mother started to drunkenly lecture me that I needed to learn to have fun and to stop being so uptight and serious, and that she regretted having let my grandmother raise me, she said I was acting like an old lady. I ve always believed that everything should be done correctly and I believe that my family s acceptance of those boys behavior was wrong. We could have all gone to prison because of that other guy carrying the illegal substances that he was carrying inside his pocket and I would have never seen my siblings again. Was I wrong to have acted the way I did?

Hello, my name is Kate. (If you couldn't tell by my username.) I have a younger sister, and she's incredibly naive, and innocent. She's the youngest of our family. I love her to death, but sense she hit puberty (she's 16 now) my parents have been clingy and overprotective. Anyways, here are some examples. She was sent to a private school, and she immediately just trusted everyone. That ended up getting her bullied after one of the girls was a mean girl. I tried to reason with her, because I could see through her lies, and so could my parents, but she just called us off. Right now she's going on online dating sights, and I warned her to be careful. She called me out again, saying that rape was just bull, and it didn't happen. She said nobody would hurt her. Also, when she gets bullied, she relies on others to stand up for her. She cries and runs away every time it happens, and she's not faking it. I know this, because she always hated attention, and I'm good at seeing people's true colors. The last example I'm going to give you, is that the other day, we were walking back from the ice cream shop, and this guy whistled at her. My sister giggled, and he asked her for a ride. She agreed, but I grabbed her arm, and dragged her off the street before her could do anything. She started sobbing and yelling at me. She said she hates how I am so paranoid all the time. I just don't know what to do. Before my parents belittled her she wasn't so...like this. Help.

I mean after I kill him, should I bury the body or burn the evidence?

We have a too year old daughter. She works during the day n I work overnight,she's been pretty distant with me lately, and when she gets mad she talks about getting a divorce she says just this morning to me my daughter needs a father that will love her Like I don't love my daughter, and she also said I am a father not a babysitter don't know what she means by that I think she might be seeying someone else. Im really hurt by these comments n also we are about to move to a deferent state if she feel like I'm not a good father or I'm a babysitter not a father I'm won't be moving with them I'll stay behing I don't know what to do

Well..I'm 15 years old . My father is an alcoholic. My mother always sides with him. She back him up 100 percent . I want to moved in with my grandparents and they are letting my do that. They said that they will give my grandmother almost everything she needs. They will provide money for my school clothes, school supplies, money for transportation but they won't provide any money for food. My grandparents don't have enough money each month to feed all of us so I want to apply for a job at After School Matters to help out but they completely refuse to give me my social security number and birth certificate. They also said that they won't sign over any type of parental rights to my grandmother. So my grandmother can't adopt me and get benefits. My grandparents said that they can go down town and try to apply for a new one but I don't want my parents to find out I'm trying to get my SSN. If they get notified or if they find out they will stop giving my grandmother money for my transportation and other stuff. What should I do? *Edit: I was wondering when can I become a legal adult? Some people said at 16 or 17 I can be an adult. Is that true?

I don't want to

I am 21 years old and I live with my grandparents while I'm finishing college. Here's my question. Do my grandparents have the right to just go into my room whenever they wish and go through my things JUST because it's their house?

I'm 17 and I absolutely can't stand having hair down there. I don't like having to shave every other day to keep it gone, and I have the money to pay for it myself. But when my mom found out I was going to have it done, ( I think she snoops on my phone) she flipped her **** and told I couldn't do it. When I asked why, she gives me that disgusted look and says because I said so. Does this make any fckn sense? Parents, what could possibly be the reason?

My older bro is gay and he told our dad today. I've known for a while and I except that. I mean he's my bro were spider close and he doesn't act like he likes me or anything like that. Anyway he's 17 and I'm 16 and were really close. So when he told our dad my dad went off he wasn't ok with that at all. He was screaming at him and hitting him calling him names and telling him he was worthless and he should die and just really harsh stuff and he was hitting him and throwing stuff at him so finally when I had enough of the crap my dad was doing I just pulled him out the door and we went to our sisters apartment. Right now she's out of town with friends and I called told her what happend and she said she didn't care if we stayed there for The day. So, in the car the whole time my bro was just sitting there kinda stunned but when we got in my sisters apartment he started balling. I just hugged him and told him everything would be okay but he pushed me away and just sat there crying. That happened like 10 mins ago and he's still pretty upset but he pushes me away. Idk what to do. I'm scared be hes suicidal so idk what to do??

My step father's mother just passed away and did not leave a will. However, the deed to the house has my step father and his two brothers names on it. My step father was going to sell his portion to the middle brother's daughter so they can keep the house. The middle brother has lived at the house because he is on drugs and too lazy to get a job and the other brother plans to move back into the home now because he is essentially the same way. They recently changed the locks to all the doors and are ignoring my step fathers call etc. So now he cant get a hold of anybody to sell his portion to the daughter. Also during the funeral my step father handed over the money to bury their mother until the insurance came in. Now his brothers took all the funeral money and saying that they are equally dividing the insurance money, but my step dad should get the funeral expenses first then split the remainder. The house is not worth a lot so my step dad is not wanting to get a lawyer involved because it would cost more to pay them than the situation is worth. He is not sure what his options are since he is out 1,500 dollars and still part owner of the house.

She is frightening me out. She started screaming and insulting me since yesterday ( and I am not exaggerating!), I think she really is crazy. And I didn't nothing to make her this way. Yesterday was her mother's birthday, and I didn't feel very well, so I decided to stay home, but she started yelling at me and stuff. And since then she is screaming, my dad told her to shut up too, because her arguments are invalid. I think she should consult a psychologist until I'll go crazy too... .I'm so scared, what should I do? It's like she's possessed, like in the horror movies, I swear!

I'm 17 years old, 18 in a month. My mum keeps snooping around my stuff and violates my privacy several times a day. She enters my room without knocking, but this is the least. She read all my emails once while I wasn't at hom and she found out and read ALL the journals I kept since I was able to write. A few months ago I wrote an email to a writer I love and I wanted it to stay something just between me and him. She found it and even PRINTED IT DOWN and showed it to me without any shame!! She said she'd been amazed by it because it was deep, moving etc and printed it down for that reason, but I don't care, she doesn't have the right to do that! A few days ago she showed me some poems I wrote 4 years ago I had thrown away. She had taken them out of my trashcan, read them and kept them for all these years! I tried to ask her to respect me more, but every time she got extremely mad and called me a liar. What should I do? Also, she has no reason to be so concerned about me. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs or anything and I'm good at school. So what's on her mind??

i found out my brother is doing drugs again while living in my moms house. i found a herion needle. he claims it is an old one but according to my mom has relapsed two months ago when she said drugs were not allowed in the home on the conditions of him staying there. he has no job, and eats all the food. im expected to share my food i buy with him and my cigarettes. not to mention i pay rent and help mom around the house and with bills. he doesnt contribute nothing at all and apparently when my mom called him out on it he said there was one old needle then tells her he had a ton in his back pack. i know he is lying. and she is refusing to kick him out despite the fact that the evidence (the needle) was in front of her face. i have noticed some of my things have been stolen from me (money and such) and i know its him thats done it cause he is the only one besides me and mom that live there and i never have friends over and we never have company so no one else could have done this. she still chooses to let him stay there and thinks that by talking later this week is gonna change my mind despite the fact that she knows he stole from me, i feel i have every right to a say seeing as im the only one who helps my mom out financially and have a job to pay for all of my stuff while he just bums. does my mom just not love me at all? why choose a drug addict over someone who is sober obeys your rules and contributes money to the household? does she not love me? it breaks my heart

I'm 18 years old and in the country where i live a person doesn't have to move from their parents when they hit "legal age". I'm also a female I opened this topic to my parents to let me go out with my friends and they had refused immediately they did not even let me talk. My cousin's parents let her go to her friends' house and when i tell my mom how come her mother lets her but you don't let me and she replied that she didn't care about her daughter's life. I cried numerous times I feel lonely at home I don't go out anywhere. I don't want to bring my friends over to my house because I will not have any privacy from my family members Even if my friend talks to my mom to let me come over to her house she will just brush her off and simply reject her. What can I say to my parents to make them agree on me going out with my friends. I'm at uni so I miss my high school friend. I tell my mom that I meet with some "friends" at my break but little does she know I sit alone. I really want to meet my friend I really want to go out and have fun I don't want my mom to always be there with me. Please help me please!!!!!

I don't live near where she was buried so I can't visit the grave.

So I'm 13 in the 8th grade and live in Texas. My mom has a boyfriend who's a doctor, who has a house in Los Angeles,CA. My mom says that we'll most likely be moving in with her bf once I finish Middle school. Since my moms bf is a doctor he lives in the more Upscale version of LA. I'm worried because my mom says I'll most likely have to go to a private school (aren't very much public schools in that area). I personally don't want to go to a private school because I did some research and saw that not many kids are in private schools since there are so many in that area of LA, which means I'll probably be in a class of 10-15 kids and maybe 100 or less kids in my grade. There are some positive things about private schools but I don't really want special treatment or anything like that. I just want to go to a public school and be normal, and have a full high school experience. Are there any public schools in that area? I'm also scared because most kids in LA develop friendships very young. I'm nervous that it isn't going to be easy making friends there. Please help, I'm not sure what to do :/

Ok so here it is. My boyfriend (of four years) and I work. He works full time, I work part time. We own a beautiful home and live a pretty good lifestyle. We worked for the luxuries we have and spent our money wisely because we live by a budget. He has a son (7). His mother is 32 years old, lives with her mother, has her son sleeping on a actress on her living room floor, is addicted to drugs and alcohol, and is a convicted felon. She's a waitress who makes as much as my boyfriend but you can't prove it Because she makes tips and doesn't claim them. For my stepson entire life, my boyfriend has had $100/month taken from him for child support (they were never married). She recently filed for modification and will now be getting a whopping 530$!!!! A month!!! So essentially, we will be supporting her scrappy lifestyle and ours will suffer. We will have to sell our home and seriously downsize our lifestyle. My stepson lifestyle as well since we know he won't see a dime of the "child support" she'll be getting. My question is, is there anything we can do?! We live in florida so everything is done on a calculator. Its not like we can just go to court and tell the judge "hey, your honor, this woman is a piece of s***, and doesn't deserve this". We're hesitant to spend money we don't have on a lawyer at all if there's nothing we can do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I really want to participate in academic bowl this year, but my mom keeps telling me that even when volleyball finishes up in a few weeks she probably won't let me. Her reasons include money (which she didn't even spend that much of last year--I can pay for it this time around), time (she came to one tournament all last season, so I don't see that reasoning, us, she said she really liked coming to see is compete), she said I was always upset after practices, but I was really just mad at her because she never even cared about that commitment when it came to me. Do you think she'll let me? And, if there's anything you think could sway her mind, please enter that, too :)

Examples: My bro-in-law, who doesn't like me much, and my sister, who four years on from the funeral of my mother, is now horrified that I'm going to give her just ten minutes twice a year on the phone, gave me my money and dumped me on the side of the road two weeks after the funeral - the point is, they pointedly refused to invite me to their house, even though I'd lost my surviving parent, the house, and I lived alone. Ditto with my bro whose spouse didn't want me in the house - they have a problem contacting me as I don't have a phone - now, thirty years on, they're getting desperate as they realise it's going to end this way. And the barmaid who drew me out as a PR stunt and then pulled back, I give her just basic politeness, which really frustrates her. Am I just dealing with business or have I got an attitude problem?; I think I've been thoroughly reasonable and logical. I don't shout or swear. I just wait as revenge is a dish best served cold. My bro' swanned off after Dad's funeral saying, 'I'm going back to my babie' but now they're all grown up - hahaha! I've have got a problem, haven't I?

i dont understand why my mum blames me for everything all the time?? Long time ago when i was about 12, my brother did something that got her angry and so she just blamed it on me, and she started kicking me And then after kicking me for like 30 mins and saying it was all my fault, she decided to lock me out of the house, and it was midnight. I mean, it was sorta understandable coz she's been through heaps when she was younger and she just gets stressed easily. But its really emotionally damaging to me. Even till today, she blames everything on me. Like i went out with my friends for about 3 hours, and my brother got mad about something and that caused my mum to get stressed, and when i came back home, she said it was my fault because i wasnt there and i went out with my friends. Almost every time i go out with my friends, she gets angry at me. She says "i was doing (something) while you were out having fun with ur friends!!". I do like literally, every chore in the house, i cook when i have to for everyone, i vacuum, i mop the floor, i do the laundry, the dusting, i clean the kitchen almost every night. But if she finds one thing i havent done that i was told to do, she gets mad over it and claims i dont do anything. And doesnt stop yelling at me for the whole day, saying how much of a nuisance i am to her, how slow i am, and idk that im a b*tch apparently. She never listens to me. I always listen to her problems, all she talks about is herself and she calls me selfish.

Do you let a father weave in and out of their child's life (all because they're the dad) or not? Do you let him come and go as he pleases. I feel like that's more damaging to the kid then him just not being involved. *not that he tries*

Who has ever actually disowned a family member/family and what for?

I named my son River. Obviously I have a connection to the river and wanted to incorporate that into an important name. I was just curious, growing up how was the teasing/bullying? What did they day to you? Also, was the name easier to have as an adult or a kid? Did people always second guess or notice the name? Please feel free to give examples. I've already heard a few dumb/silly things about the name. I'm imagining there is more.

He thinks I am too childish and never listen, after all the times he was such a **** this is the first time I actually wished he left. How do I deal with this, when I wanted a dog, he said no. When I wanted to get a job, he said no. When I wanted to go out with friends he said no. My mom on the other hand doesn't mind most things.

one time i was at a family gathering with my sister's in laws. one of the sons of their family, who's 10 years older than me, and 6" taller (and built, i'm skinny), will sometimes slap my hand hard when saying hello. i'm pretty sure he does it purposely, cuz he's just an annoying loud mouth/attention seeker type of person. and one time he said he likes giving me "a hard time". so i expected a hard slap, and when he did it, i said "i've had softer handshakes", and he kinda got taken aback. he said "whaaat?", and i said "i've had softer handshakes" again, and he just kinda walked away looking shocked and sad. his brother and father heard, and his brother gave me dirty/angry looks. the father a few moments later came up to me and said "what do you do?", all condescendingly because i had a high school summer job he deemed inferior. anyways, it's anoying how they're rude, and they approve of each other's rudeness towards me. what do you think of this? i feel like they ganged up on me, and like they were entitled to push me around, but it was offensive to stand up for myself. they do other rude stuff, but to me, this incident brings their inner thoughts to the surface. later i could tell the brother was still mad at me, because he was glaring at my intensely, with a red face, and when i dropped something he smiled btichily, and pointed at it for me to pick it up. is their behavior normal? i tell my parents what they do, and my parents just say i should ignore it. they say rude people are everywhere, and i need to get used to it. which bugs the hell out of me, because i think they're encouraging me to be a doormat.

Every month or so my mum asked me for my Facebook, Instagram or any other social media password that I have. She also looks in my text messages and my Internet history. If I refuse to tell her my password, she gets angry and starts lecturing me if I have something to hide, which I don't, just don't like the fact that she can see all of my text messages and everything I say to my friends. I was talking to a friend, he's a boy, and I swore a few times and yeah, I do regret it but other than that I don't have anything else to really be ashamed of. So, I was in a group chat with my friends, even if they say something that my mum doesn't like she'll get angry at me for it and if we joke around she thinks that we're being serious and we are bad influence on each other I have tried talking to her about it and how she needs to respect my privacy sometimes but she just won't listen and she said she does it for my safety but I'm not stupid I don't talk to people I don't know online and I know all the Internet safety stuff. I really don't know what to do and I'm sick of deleting every conversation that I have just so she won't tell me off for it even though there's nothing wrong with it.

Im not rebelios.the thing is my job i want to get is electrical engeneer and i got electrisity as a subject at school but my dad wanted me to become a mecanic like the rest of family. I ignored this and shose electrisity when we shose our subjects. Im the only one in family going for this career direction.eversince i cose this he says he suports me but now he doesnt realy speak to me alot he seems a bit withdrawn. The thing is our bond was always weaker because im also the only one in family exept my mom thats blesed to be good at maths and have a good memmory.so is it posible to get a beter bond with him.and how.

So I have this cousin who practically brought me up.now she's married and lives in england. Recently she's been back to visit for a few months. She's been extremely offensive and stand offish to me every time we've met. She makes offhand comments about my weight as if I don't know and am not stressed about it myself. Yesterday we were all (the whole fam) sitting and talking and I said something which was not at all rude anyhow but she must have found it to be and she blew up. My sister explained and said that I wasn't intending to be rude and my cousin said "oh ok". I asked her why she found it mean coming from me and she replied saying everything that came out of my mouth sounded offensive to her. I was angry at this and said "well i must have learned it from you." Then basically all hell broke loose and now none of my family are talking to me because im apparently very rude. I just don't get how this is my fault. I'm 16 by the way.

Here is the problem he is an alcoholic and a 45 year old with Dementia due to the drinking. He has seizures and can't drive. He has a nurse that comes about every other day, but she really should live there. He can't do a lot of things on his own. He also has only 1 bedroom in his Condo and lives off of money from the state. I know he does drugs, but he is a good person. He is funny, silly, willing to spend time with me, and be kind of like a friend. I can tell him almost anything. Now my mom I have no relationship with. We don't have anything in common and she is basically the opposite of my dad. I am a 15 year old girl and I live in Michigan.

don't answer unless you can relate

I live 5 miles from my school and my health isn't good enough to be walking that. My Endocrinologist flat out said that to me and he is willing to write a note to my mother to prove that. I really want to be in clubs. I am so lonely at school, I have no real friends, and cannot stand the rich snobs I an surrounded by everyday. I share nothing in common with any of these people and every morsel of me is just screaming to get away from these people. They act like immature simpletons. I am 15 and going to be a Sophomore. My mom refuses to teach me how to drive, I think she wants me to wait until I am 18 to learn. She also refuses to let me do any clubs because she says there is no point of it. Why is she complaining about how antisocial I am if she won't let me socialize with kids of my own interests? My mom just thinks that I need to stay at home and study and in all honesty I never study. In school I usually make all A's and maybe one B. None of my family members live near me, but for some reason they agree with her. I don't know why my mom thinks she can judge what's best for me education wise when she hasn't met a teacher of mine in almost 6 years. I cannot stand my mother, everything I try to do around the house right or wrong I get yelled at, if I fold a towel wrong I get yelled at. She is rude, judgmental, selfish, and mean. We rarely speak to each other around the house and I keep trying to reach out to her so we can do things to improve our relationship, My school counselor is absolutely ZERO help. She usually blows me off or tells me to move in with my Grandparents when they have flat out said no to this. I don't have real friends. The people I associate with during school never contact me, or when I contact them we usually don't talk for more then 5 minutes. I am extremely worried for college admissions because I may just appear as some lazy brat. Also- my mom hasn't checked my grades in 6 years. I can see logins on my portal.
