Examples: Dating: Dad to my brother: Sure you can start dating Dad to me: No I think you should wait Hanging out with Friends: Dad to my brother: Sure be back at 10 Dad to me: Be back a 8 or you are grounded. Going to School: Dad to my brother: You can have half of your sister's breakfast. Dad to me: You don't need any breakfast, us men need energy. My mother died when we were young and my father never treated me the same since then. He thinks that I can't do another he and my brother can do. What can I do?

My mom has a daycare and there is a child who is 9 we have known her since she was born. The things is she is always lying, and getting people introuble she likes to listen on peoples conversations and what she did not understand she makes it up. She has gotten people introuble when it was not there fault, the other day she told her mom, That there was no more room in daycare for her because my mom had so many kids in waiting list and she was only part time and some one had to go. The child's mom told my mom, Is that true my mom said no I wish I had more kids coming in. My mom told the mother if that were ever to happend I would inform you first. Where did your child hear that from? she asked ,the mom just said well my child said she heard something but you know her always making things up. Yet the mom believes everything her child says, I'm not saying not to believe your child but also know when she's lying or telling the truth. When you ask her why she did it she just says I was kidding or joking. What can we do to help her any ideas anything helps.

I talk to my Dad about once a week. I don't get to see him very often. My husband got a big promotion and moved far south and we have a pretty large house we've lived for over 10 years with our 25 year old daughter....and that is the issue to him out of the blue. So our daughter is a college graduate at a prestigious college she got a student loan for and has a very nice customer service job. However, me and my husband did not want her to move out of the house not when she turned 18, not when she got back from college nor now with her job she's had for over a year. Aside from past boy troubles she has a few friends but isn't really looking into dating unless it feels right. She's comfortable living here, she has half the house to herself and she pays us a little for bills and we are fine with it and so is she. She has no interest getting her own place and she wants to inherit our house if we stay her someday. My husband also doesn't like the fact she will be alone and thinks a single lady should remain with the parents. My Dad thinks she a freak or something just because he kicked me out of the house at 19 years old and was broke but got a house in the ghetto in Chicago that's what we should do with our daughter. I tried to explain the situation and he didn't want to hear it. Doesn't other families do this? I mean my friend from up north had his sons living with them until their mid 30's so what's the problem?

she's racist, she makes fun of my friends and myself, she's even said I'm the ugliest out of the whole family, she stops me from seeing my own dad and my brother, as they live far away from me. She doesn't even let me talk to them over the phone, I'm 15 almost 16. She's also very judgemental, she hates anyone who doesn't have the same beliefs as her and she thinks that homosexuals should die and that if she didn't have kids she would kill them herself. I can't put up with her anymore, my sister moved to stay with my cousin because she was fed up of my mum too.

My Parents are divorced i'm only a 14yrs old male. I Get punished allot for things i don't do, My Mom Cheated on my dad for a guy and he lives in the same house as me. My Older sister hates him and argues with him then she moved with her cousins. I Have No Privacy. And I Can't Do Anything I cant ride my bike but i do do after school stuff but i have no phone so she is 30 mins late every time and she says i can deal with it. I Got a iphone 5s for christmas and i was happy and grateful. 5 months later she takes it back and says its not mine anymore and she needs it. cause she pays the bills So That's how i have no phone. I am very very stressed I Don't Like my moms boyfriend and i cant take it anymore. what to do.

I was a dad at 15, now I'm 25, not only are we still together but we got married and have been married for 6 years, our daughter has everything she needs, we both went to college and we have jobs...Our lives are pretty much amazing, but everytime I blurt out "I have a 10 year old daughter", the judgemental looks fill the room and they're so uncalled for, and honestly, I don't get why.

I am turning 16 in 2 months and me and my mom were having a conversation about my boyfriend and I told her straight up we are going to have sex. I told her it would be at his Dad's house only as he works and goes out of town a lot. However, I would have it here in my bedroom without my Mom knowing. I told her he would always use a condom but my Mom wanted no part of it. She asked me what would happen if I got pregnant and I told her I would get an abortion. My Mom was doing guys when she was 14 YEARS OLD! Her mother got her on the pill when she was young but she started doing drugs and kept forgetting to take her pill....oops came me at age 19 with a loser hippie boyfriend I don't want in my life because he's a loser. My mom was a loser and pretty much still is. She gambles or drinks her money and never gets me the basic needs sometimes. I had to get a job at nights now going to school just to provide for myself. All I want is to have sex and safely. She should know what it feels like to be horny. There is not an hour that goes by I don't think about a guy, a guy naked or inside me. I have to resort to masturbation only and it's not fair to me!

I am a 27 y/o single mother that was recently divorced earlier this year from my son father. I wanted to have a new start because I was stressed and irrated from my mom trying to run my life. So my older sister allowed me to move in with her and her family that was 1hr away. I loved being there and had a sense of independence and even though it was just an hour no one came to visit and I had a lot of peace. Well my second sister was pregnant and asked me to come back because she had no one to help her. So I packed up my life and moved back to the city to help my sister. Well now I just got a job at an university and will be getting my own place but I still want to move back to baton rouge because it is away from my family. I originally wanted to move to texas but when I told my mom she start talking about how I shouldn't and its not wise wait until a year on the job and then do this and that and I talked to my dad and he said I should just live with my sister because jobs don't come easy but I am to the point that I don't care because they all get on my nerves. My family always throws in my face how I tried this and it didn't work or how I just have an associate degree instead of a bachelor because I didn't make good decisions but all the decisions I made was to follow them and do what they ask. I always drop what I am doing to make them happy. What should I do and is 6000 enough to move from louisiana to texas or should I just go back to baton rouge and keep it safe?

Okay, so I am a teen, 14yrs old. I was shoplifting once and got caught. They called home and told my mom. When I got home everything seemed normal. But when before I was going to bed my mom called me down. I had been ditching school for a few (3) days and my mom found out. She started yelling at me because she was mad. So she started calling me a loser, failure of a son, and said she was embarrassed over being my mom. And that my future would be ****. Like, is this Normal or IDK. Just wanted to know if it would be normal for a mom to say all if that for the reasons I gave... Thank you

Small sum up: I am a single child, mother and uncle live with me, father 3 hours away from our house. My mother and uncle are brother and sister and since their parents died my mother (REALLY) loves my uncle since it's her only close sibling. This guy is old but huge (muscles, build) and he has no issue chocking me to death if I raise my voice. I know since I tried doing that once to defend myself over stupid controlling 2 years ago and it ended up with his hands on me, one on my mouth and the other holding me from hitting him, screaming: "SHUT UP." He's obsessive about weight, health and economy. Which means he is controlling over: what we eat, what we do and how many water/energy we waste on things everyday. I was overcome with sadness and anger every time I wasn't able to eat as much as I wished (which let me tell you is NOT ENOUGH, I AM NORMALLY THIN.) As much furious and sad I am, these feelings are put aside to build a feeling more dangerous than these WHEN he (verbally or physically) 'attacks' my mother. What I mean about physically is not hitting, but more like control again. He ties that poor 55 old woman up with a bed sheet because he sais "if she continues on like that she's going to end up with a damaged spin" which he is correct, BUT STILL. HE cannot push his opinions to others like that! However, I cannot confront him because he is physically stronger and he thinks he is always right so starting up that subject is breath suicide. PLEASE HELP ASAP.

Im not even over reacting. Every time I want to do something like learning how to sing or play an instrument my mom always like "do you think we have the money right now?" But with my sister she's like "Okay sure!" Its not fair at all and she wonders why I think she favors my sister. She always complains about me doing nothing when she won't even let me do any thing we barely even leave the house. Its like if you can spend money and let my sister do stuff she should let me. I want to talk to her but its like she wont let me talk, then she puts words in my mouth, and then she talks the whole time and then it's over. Im tired of it and I don't know what to do anymore.

So I liked this guy and it turned out that his dad and my dad are cousins, but does that make cousins with him? But im not sure how close of cousins they are.

Let me start off by saying that I love my mom, I really do, and I applaud her at raising me by herself but I also resent her a lot and I believe she's one of the causes of my anxiety and depression. She's very judgmental and embarrassing, and I can't count how many times she's publicly embarrassed me in front of peers, other family, etc. She's also homophobic and told me if I'm gay, which I am, that she couldn't love me anymore and I had to move out immediately, so I've been stuck in the closet for 5 years now (I'm 21) because I'm absolutely terrified to come out. I hate having to depend on her for shelter and food because I don't feel comfortable living here, yet she doesn't want me to move out. She's threatened to stop paying my tuition if I move out, and in fact, always threatens to stop paying my tuition. If I act up, or get an attitude, she laughs and says "Then I just won't pay for your college, how about that?" Using threat as a scare tactic like I'm 5 years old again. I have a job and I would like to live on my own, but I live in one of the most expensive cities in America and I just can't make it alone without some help from my mom, and she won't give me any. I feel like my mother still sees me as a child. She flips out if I drink alcohol, doesn't think I've had sex, doesn't think I know anything about the world. I love her, yes, but she stresses me out to the max and I just feel like I can't get away from her. What do I do?

Hi I'm 17 years old and a girl. I live in England. I have 3 brothers and a sister. My sister is 30 and my brothers are 29, 25 and 23. Me and my brothers really don't get a long with my sister; she's rude, obnoxious, immature and an absolute *****. My dad died when I was 2 so my brothers have been my father figure and I love them so much. They've never been mean to me, they've always been patient with me and took care of me when they don't have to. Like there have been times where my brothers have changed their plans with friends to hang out with me. My mum is mentally ill but not severely. My 23 year old brother is studying at a uni in London and my two other brothers moved up their because of better job opportunities. I miss them so much because they've always looked after me and my mum is slowly getting worse. She gets quite abusive to me at times. It's be different if I got on with my older sister but I don't and neither do my brothers. My mum has basically given me permission to move in with my oldest brother, Callum and he wants me to move in with him since my mum is getting worse. My other brothers Elliott and Harry want me up there with them because of all the issues but I'm nervous about leaving. I want to leave though but I'll be moving 300 miles away from everything I've known. Do you think it's a good idea? Should I move up there?

Help im 16 I have a therapist she told me to just wait till im 18 and get out but I cant wait any longer I don't think I can this has been since as youn as I can remember. I Have a bipolar mom with extreme anger issues and dad who was abused so he not much better but not as bad and he not as violent my problem is my mom she ruins the family she targets me because she said I remind her of her mother who she hates and was abused by to both my parents where abused my mothers parents divorced when she was 10 and my dads dad was a alcoholic who would beat him. My mom hates me literaly hates me and it could be anything and she take her anger out on me if her back hurts or she forget a ointment she comes in my room finding way to blame me she said every horrible ting you could think of to me from I want to kill you to I should have aborted you. when I was younger around 11 she would choke me she shoved me down stairs once. when im sick she wont believe me I broke my pinky and she wouldn't take me to doctor because she didn't believe me so now it grew back so wrong it has huge lump and hard to write with now il have to get surgery to fix it. everyday she screams and makes me want to kill myself I ran away once long story didn't turn out well im also struggling with being bisexual I cant tell them or she would kill me my life is miserable im homeschooled online I had to leave public school because I come to school crying all time and I couldn't handle it im loosing all hope.

Basically, she seems to give other people a bunch of breaks to anything, yet when I make a small flaw into an assignment or any other class related thing, she absolutely just doesn't even think about cutting me some slack. I understand if I were to be a student who is constantly making mistakes, but that is not the case. NOT EVEN ONCE has she given a slide, and I'm not even that bad in class, I'm always doing things right. Just the few times that I do, she doesn't cut me slack. How do I confront her?

I'm 15 and I do school online through connections academy. The curriculum is simple enough and I like it but It's hard meeting any friends. I hate being stuck in the house all day, and I don't feel like a normal teenager. I can't attend any sports because my parents don't have the time or money. I live right near a bunch of neighborhoods with kids my age but it's way to difficult to try and start a conversation and makes me look desperate. Uhg. help?

My parents were never supportive of me getting my license. I'm a male, 18 by the way, so I will be heading to university soon. I have spoken to a few of my friends and they have told me that their parents are supportive and encourage them. My parents told me I cannot get my G1 until I graduate university, but I begged them for a year to let me. Now, its like I feel so upset that they weren't supportive that I don't care about driving anymore. I asked my parents how I will be getting to university, they told me to bus it there. But the main thing is, they are not going to be proud of me. If I tell them I got my license, they will be like ok. Its not like they will be happy or anything, and I won't feel accomplished. I would get it later, but I feel like later on I won't have time. I barely have time on my hands right now, with driving school, with work, and extra curricular activities at school and school work, I am so busy. I just don't know if I should get it now, or wait it off, and if it is really worth telling my parents I got it. I don't care about driving, like I said, but just to be able to drive whenever needed. Sometimes, my family and I go to parties and my dad drinks, so that's when I feel the need to drive us home because I have no brothers and my sisters won't drive. My dad wont let them drive anyways. So, is it worth them knowing I got it when I get it?

My ex-husband and I divorced in 2012. We have three kids; a 22 year old son, a 16 year old daughter, and a 14 year old son. Our oldest is an adult and has moved out, while the younger two legally have 50/50 time with mom and dad. Our son goes along with the order and tolerates living at his dad's. The kids never had a great relationship with their father; he was emotionally abusive and has caused a great deal of anxiety issues in my children. But about my daughter.. She is a very bright girl. She's even graduated high school already. She has severe depression and anxiety, and had to be admitted to a treatment center last year. When she was there her therapists found that many of her problems and insecurities come from her dysfunctional childhood. They recommended that when she discharges from the hospital she should go to a boarding school to get away from her father. She went to boarding school from January thru June, was able to finish high school, and is here again. Since she's been back, she's had trouble with her dad. She went along with the order a few times and gone to her dad's house. I try my hardest to get her to go, but ultimately I cannot make a teenager to go somewhere. It's so difficult for me as a mother to try to force her there there because I know how much anxiety it causes her. Last week I got her to go, but the next day she had a friend drive her back to my house. We live in Wisconsin and the law says that a child cannot choose their custody until they're 18. They also greatly encourage 50/50 custody. Helen: I know how terrible anxiety is. It absolutely kills me to see my daughter like this. The problem is that her father is pushing the 50/50 placement and has threatened legal action towards me. That's why she can't just stay with me. It's her father I know she shouldn't go to her dad's! I've been letting her stay at my house, but I am technically breaking the law!

I'm 19 and have two younger brothers. One who is 14 and the other one is 17. Me and the one who is 14 are pretty close. We talk and hang out. The one that is 17 is always so distance. He never wants to hang out with us or just one of us. He doesn't talk to us. He was starting to than he got a gf ect. Anyways I try to talk to him. I told him I wanted to not just be his sister but be his friend too. I told him he can trust me but he just never wants to talk. He only talks to me when he needs money or a ride. I try to form a bond with him but nothing seems to work. even when i ask how his day went he quickly just shouts and swears. He constantly swears at me calling me a *****. Sometimes I can tell when he is joking but he never wants to hang out with me or my younger brother. He distances himself a lot. Any advice? How should I approach him? A lot of our uncles/aunts are estranged from their siblings and I honestly don't want my brothers and I to end up like that. Thanks!!

His daughter is 18 & bounces back & forth from her moms & dads. Depending on which parent sides with her. The latest is, she wanted to go to a $120,000 art school, her dad said no, her mom said yes. Even though her mom only had $2,000 saved. So the daughter moved in with the mom. Well, 3 days at college the daughter calls daddy wanting to leave. THREE DAYS & SHE WANTS TO LEAVE!!! So the dad rescues her and now she is living with us. SO to the point. He forbids his daughter to help me around the house. I moved in when she was 13 and she was with us most the time. As dad was primary custodian. I do more in a SINGLE day then she has done in the entire 5 years combined in terms of helping around the house. She cannot even put her dishes in the dishwasher. The dad says, "she doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to" Well, things get rough when she is living with us. He always puts me down & has the audacity to call ME ungrateful, lazy, & I "cannot even lift a pinky for him"! I do his: LAUNDRY, DISHES, CLEAN HIS HOUSE, MOP HIS FLOORS, COOK AND TAKE CARE OF OUR 4 DOGS (one of the dogs is hers too). And I also work too. I've come home probably 5 times so see the dogs made a mess, ripped up a toy or envelope, something relatively small & the daughter just walks by the mess like its not her 'job' to do a damn thing! Just wait for the slave to clean it up! I'M SO SICK OF IT!! Anyone in a similar situation offer some advice.

My mom was depressed for many years after my father passed away and never got help until recently this year. She drove me crazy living with her to the point where I had to move out, she was going back and forth to mental hospitals. Now she is doing better and is on the right medicine. I moved out with my ex but that didn't work out now I live alone. I hate living alone. I have to figure out if we should live together or not in time. My question is how can I not hold a grudge with my mom? I get mad quickly if she says or does something stupid, or I when think of her past mistakes. I even worry she may go back to the hospital again.. Any clue on what to do? What would you do? Thanks

i know my dad wasn't a good person, he used to abuse my mom when I was young, I'm now 15 and I live 5 hours away from my dad and my brother. My dad rang up and told me he was going to come and see me soon with my brother as i haven't seen them in a long time, my mom then told him that he wasn't allowed and she began shouting at me for talking to him, what do i do? so i'm not allowed to see my brother or dad ever again?

I love my mom, and I realize that this isn't a personal thing, but my mom does not plan and as the oldest at home, I am left to clean up the mess. There has been several occasions where she has told my sisters that she could watch their kids, and then woken me up that morning to inform me that's what I would be doing, sometimes meaning I don't have time to shower before they show up, or that I got in late the night before, not anticipating an early wake up time, and have low patience for 5 kids under 5. She helps sew costumes for a dance studio me and siblings attend, and will ask me as I'm going to bed to help her because she procrastinated it. When I tell her I was heading to bed she gets upset. She calls me or whoever is home 1-4 times a day, asking for them to look up something on her email or our calendar, because as she says "Why download it when I can have you guys look it up?" I don't mind watching kids. I don't mind helping with costumes. I dont mind the occasional calender look up, that's not the issue. The frustrating part is when she springs it on me last minute, inconveniences me, or signs me up for things without my permission. I've talked to her about it, but she gets upset or laughs it off. I went to therapy years ago and had a therapist tell me my mom does have a toxic way of handling conflict. Is there any articles I could read about this? Or something I could research on how to handle these situations with consideration to both myself and her?

i am with my mom for my birthday weekend .. i turn 18 on march 18 which is a friday

I am a 25 year old single guy with a 15 year old niece Jill, my sister's daughter. Jill often comes to my house for help with her homework. If we finish her homework late she spends the night a my house and I take her to school the next morning. She told me she was a nervous wreck from her mom and dad fighting all the time and they were getting a divorce. She wanted to stay with me until the divorce was final. I told her that was OK with me but she needed her parents OK which I thought would not happen. However her parents thought it was best for her not to see them fighting all the time and agreed she could stay with me until there divorce was final. I was very surprised by their decision but I think they were thinking of what their fighting was doing to Jill. Jill moved in with me and has been living with me for 2 months. She is a very nice person and is no longer depressed. We have had a lot of fun time together going to school events and sporting events. Jill ask me if I would adopt her so she could stay with me permanently. I told her that I doubt if her parents would let that happen. I don't know if you can adopt someone that has living parents. Does anyone know if that can be done? Is there a better solution than adopting her?

My Father has life in prisona and i dont really know how to deal with it. We weren't as close but it still hurts to know that i won't be able to ever get to see him in the outside world again. I'm 19 btw and in college. Anybody had similar experiences? how did you deal with it?

I'm a 13 year old girl. I recently just got my own room. It's right by my parent's room. Unfortunatley for me that means I hear them every time they're doing it. I know they're married/I had to be born somehow and everything, but it's really disturbing and disgusting to hear your parents doing it with each other. I haven't talked to them because I feel like it would be really awkward. Also, I'm afraid they'd make me move back in with my sister. I hate hearing them have sex, but I still want my own room. Is there any way I can stop hearing them do it when they have sex?

I'm 20 years old and have never told anyone about being sexually abused. From ages 2-9 my babysitter's brothers 2,11 and 12 years older started sexually abusing me. I have these memories all my life, which I wished to forget or go back in time to prevent it. I blamed myself and my parents. One time my mom saw me and the abuser naked, but she just laughed and say don't let your father know or he will be pissed. I wished she would ask me questions and I can told her the truth. But Its so difficult for me to talk about it and it's mentally destroying me..

it doesn't necessarily have to be happy, just an event that you can't forget.

When ever I'm around her it always happens, of if I'm talking good about her she pop in my dreams and er having sex or I'm touching on her... Sometimes I be wanting to tell her but I know it would be weird asf.. When I do have the dreams my feelings get strong for her each time I have one.. She always stare at me and I always catch her doing it, I don't mind it, I just be wondering what goes on in her head. But when I'm around her having fun, cracking jokes, or playing videos games together I have a dream about us having sex... Can I please get some expert advice on this.. Like should I tell her I have these dreams uncontrollably or keep it to myself??

I was laid off from my job and my unemployment benefits were about to run out. Jobs are VERY hard to find in our area. I was desperate to find a job ANY JOB and I only know one person in the business community that might give me some advice on finding a job and that was Joe, my sister's ex husband. I was SCARED TO DEATH but I finally got up the courage to call him and ask if he could give me some advice on how to find a job. He told me to meet him at his office that afternoon. I was afraid he would be mad at me because of his divorce from my sister. Instead he gave me a big hug when he greeted me and said "You are as beautiful as I remember you." That took all my fears away. I told him I needed advice on finding a job. He ask me if I could start to work for him tomorrow. I have been working for him for 5 months now. He is the greatest boss EVER. I and all the other employees just adore him. He never mentions my sister or says anything about her and neither do I. I am afraid to tell my sister about my new job. I hope she has moved on with her life and I don't want to cause her any problems. I don't know many details about her divorce but it WAS NOT BITTER. Advice please on if or how I should tell my sister what I did.

So I moved in to a room downstairs and made that my bedroom because we're renting out upstairs, and my door has those locks that could be easily opened on the outside if you just stick in your nail or penny and turn it. Every time I lock my door my mom opens it easily and it's so annoying! It's not because I'm hiding anything but I hate the fact that she's invading my privacy all the time and bothers me (like waking me up if I'm sleeping). I just want a little privacy especially since I'm a teen. What can I do? Is there like a trick for me to lock my door without it opening? I try to tell my mom I need privacy but she never listens to me..

I am an 19 year old guy with 3 younger sisters. I like them a lot and try to protect them as much as I can. I also like to have my buddies at my house just to hang out. With the hot weather my sisters don't wear much clothes around the house. I told then they had to put on more clothes when my buddies were around. They ask me why? I told my sisters they guys get erections when they see women without many clothes on. They said what is an erection. I believe in answering all their questions so I told them what an erection was. They ask me if I would show them one and I declined to do that. They ask me if I ever got an erection from seeing them without much clothes. I told them no and explained what incest was. I told them people do not normally get sexually turned on by siblings. Did I do the right thing by educating them on these subjects. Don't they teach this stuff in sex education at school?

I m currently living 500 miles away from my family on a job, and I ve seen them twice since January, which is a lot less than I d like. Thanksgiving and Christmas are huge for my family, they re the only holidays that everyone comes together and with several of my close family members growing older, I m starting to cherish these holidays more each year. I m living with my girlfriend, we have dinners with her family several times a month and I ve attended family gatherings like birthday parties. Last night we had a converstation (that turned into an argument) about the holidays. I said I wanted to be home with my family for thanksgiving and Christmas for the reasons I ve stated above, and I m not expecting her to come with me, as I know her family is important to her too. She was saying I m being selfish, but I feel it is entirely justified. I ve seen my parents only twice this year and she can see her family on a whim. Eventually, it came down to an ultimatum: skip a holiday with my family (which brought my mom to tears when I asked her about it this morning) or we have to break up (her decision, not mine, I want to stay together). What should I do? Does she really love me if she is making me make a choice like this?

I have told him why I think it's wrong and have asked him to stop but he thinks it's fine and refuses. I'm concerned that name calling like that will be harmful and don't want her self esteem ruined. He's a good dad in general but has some old school ideas and even though I believe it is getting into emotional abuse territory he disagrees. An example: he asked our three year old for a hug and she moved away and said no (she was in kind of a crabby mood) and he said, "you're such a brat. Why are you such a brat?" In a contemptuous voice. This is not good AT ALL but it's the only thing like that he does other than sometimes being too rough. He has never hit any of the kids but he can be very critical at times. He really doesn't seem to get it and even if I were to leave him (not really planning to) he would still have contact with the kids so I need to find ways to counteract the negative comments. Should I pull her aside and tell her she's not a brat? defend her to him so she hears me backing her up? Any ideas?

I'm in school, I have a job, I'm doing alright for myself. My parents are abusive & I'm trying to distance myself from them completely. I'm thinking of getting medical insurance through the AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) which I am a member of. So, should I save my money and stay on my parents plan till im 26 or should I look around for something I can afford? Also I don't live with them anymore. Thanks for the help.

I had a dream my dad tried to rape me. My parents have been dovroced since I was 7, due to reasons I don't want to get into. Last year my dad moved to a different state. I visit about 3-4 times a year for between 1-2 weeks. Last night I had a dream my dad tried to raped me and due to this I didn't go to school today because I feel so disurbed. Apparently my father was molested when he was a little boy, I don't know if maybe that has something to do with it. So I was visiting him like normal with my two sisters. Something was going on, maybe involving a school or something but I don't remember. Like I do but then I don't. All I remember is my dad slipping his hands underneath my shirt and me yelling at him to stop. I remember I kept screaming at him and I told him I he even looked at me I'd call the police. He looked at me so I ran away and called the police because when I texted my mom she wouldn't be able to pick me up for an hour. But my dad had shut off the phone and I forced him to turn it back. As soon as I dialed 911 I woke up. I'm really confused and scared right now, I don't know what to do. I feel like maybe I should distance myself from him. Not text him or anything for a few weeks. I just feel horrible now. But the weird thing is, I KNOW it was my dad but when I looked at the person, I can't remember who's face I saw. Please help me, what does this mean and what should? Thanks~

Last year was really hard for me in school because I didn't have any friends and school was hard. This year is worse. I have friends but they ignore me, math is so hard and doesn't make sense. I have extreme anxiety when I go to school. When I get to school I text my mom to please pick me up and take me home because I can't take it. But she just says stop being so negative, you're being over dramatic, suck it up. I have been to counseling once and it didn't help me at all. They just made me go to a group session thing. Now my mom signed me up to go talk to a different counseler but I'm not going to go. My aunt told my mom I should do online schooling and my mom was all into it at first and now she says it isn't even an option. I know it would be the best for me and I would be sooooo much happier. I won't have rude kids bothering me when I'm trying to work and I can understand what I'm learning better. But mom won't do it. Can someone please help me persuade her. I had to fake not feeling well to stay home from school today that's how scared I am. My mom threatens me with the counseling too. When I said I can't go to school she says " get ready for counseling then". Please help me I can't deal with this anymore. Thank you

Alright so I have a wonderful son who is married since 2 years. He lives in another city with his wife but I invited him to my place for a couple of weeks as we both have business meeting ahead this week. Yesterday when I came back from work in later afternoon and I entered my house, he was no where around. But I went up to his room and the door was locked obviously but I heard some sounds coming from inside. I was like someone was having sex in there. I was shocked as my daughter-in-law didn't showed up with him. So I went down into the kitchen and was having drink while watching TV. But my ears where on my son's room. After half an hour or so he came down into the kitchen with his childhood friend (who is gay!). After they both left the house I looked into the trash and found 2 condoms! From the very beginning when he was a kid I suspected that he might be gay. But when he grew up he had couple of girlfriends and even settled with his girlfriend. But after this all I am all shaken. I don't know what to do. I am feeling so sad about my daughter-in-law. My son is literally cheating her with a boy! I raised him myself alone as his mom died when he was 12 yrs old so I know him very well. He is a type of person who would cheat but to this extend?! I think this might be the reason for them not having kids. Please somebody help. I am completely Okay if he's gay but I just can't see my daughter-in-law getting cheat this way.

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?

I m 21 years old, live in the DFW area, have a full-time retail job, just dropped out of college, and am dependent on my parents for insurance, food, and shelter. However, my parents (my father in particular) always hold these things over me and threatens to take it away if I do anything he doesn t like. I m also gay and my parents are devout Christians; this makes living with them even more difficult. My paycheck is (as of last month) $500 or less biweekly. I ve just upgraded to being full-time because I need benefits like medical insurance and whatnot, but I have no idea when that will kick in. I know I can save up fairly easily but I don t know if I have that kind of time. I currently have less than $20 to my name and I don t get paid until next week. I m not going to bore you with my tragic backstory I just need to know what I can do and if I can get out of here asap. I feel as if I don t know anything about the real world and how it works, so I m confused when it comes to insurance stuff and basic requirements of independent living. If anybody could advise me on what I could do next, I would be grateful.

I love my mother, very much. She's a good woman, and practically raised me, herself, as my dad was always drunk when I was little. The problem is she makes way too, many, assumptions about me, and has this; "I know everything" type of attitude. Now maybe I'm just a typical, young person, but that doesn't mean I can't express my views. Examples of what she thinks she knows about me; 1. She thinks I hate being told what to do, period. I'm actually compliant. I've never been the "rebellious" type. I hate when her husband, tells me what to do, because he's a micro-managing, perfectionist, and everything I do is wrong to him. 2. I'm an introvert so she thinks I hate people. She thinks that because I don't always feel like interacting, and I don't smile 24/7 that I have an attitude. 3. In concordance with the above, I don't smile 24/7 so I'm "always" mad. I wish I could get along with her, like I used to, when I was little. Any advice?

Ok so its gonna be my fathers birthday soon. Ive been away from home for 2 years. He doesnt talk to me. The only person that talks to me is my mother. She talks to me almost everyday. I would try to call my father but he never answers or call back but my mom says its because he works all of the time. He has 2 days off a week just like any other job and she complains he too tired. This has went on for 2 years. I revently went home to visit and he payed for me to come. While i was there he did not even spend time with me or go to the dinner with me to celebrate before i left. He bought me snacks and sent me away with 80 bucks. Even after this visit i call numerous times through the day and no call or no text. Its times im on the phone with my mom and he calls her to talk to her while im on the phone with her. So, i recieved a 150.00 gift card and my mom said he would like that for his birthday. I wanted to give it to him but i felt that he wouldnt call to thank me for his gift and i feel that he doesnt even communicate with me enough. My mom began to put up a little fuss about me giving him this gift card becausr i was concerned that it wouldny work sonce it had my name on it. I would like to give it to him but i really dont think i should, and definitely not because my mom wants me too. Am wrong for being this way, am i being stingy,?

I try my hardest in school & I try to respect my parents & do as I'm told. Like every teenager, I occasionally have my downfalls but my parents act like I'm changing for the worst. For example, this morning, I got bus left. I didn't turn the porch light on because I was still getting dressed & my daddy claimed I got left on purpose. He fussed all the way down the road. I don't understand why they make a big deal out of nothing. My brother was a bit of a rebel but I'm the total opposite. Every time I mess up, he's so quick to compare me to him. I hate it. I'm just like any other teenager. I'm not going to be perfect. I wish they could see that. I feel like a toddler on a high horse -- of course they're going to fall. I hate feeling like this. Why do they act as if I'm an angel on the verge of falling after every little thing I do?

i am a 15 year old male and my sister is 17 and in collage meaning she doesn't have school uniform and the last few months i have started to use my Sister's pair of T-Bar school shoes that she hasn't used in a few months to fap my d*** by simulating a Foot job and sometimes even worship the shoe by sniffing and licking the top area where the toes are, but I DO NOT think of it being my sister the thing is she used them about a week ago for a cosplay which was a school girl and last night i still used them to self pleasure knowing that she used them. the last few weeks i have been dreaming about her wearing the shoes and waking up fantasizing about her feet and being turned on.. i Have also been starting to film it myself jacking off with her shoes and have actually uploaded a video of it to RedTube of me wearing them and cumming on them (I'll give the link if you request) i have also started to take the shoes with me to school which they are hidden in my pencil case 24/7 WITH A LOCK and take them so school in my bag.

My parents aren't bad by any means, perhaps a bit on the "Respect by Fear" but outside of that they where fine except with anything I was interested in. Sure, when I was into art they'd tell me my art was good [Mostly lying] but they didn't really encourage me to get farther into it and when I showed an interest in Basketball my mother shot that down by saying "I know you, that isn't you". Now I'm looking into getting a youtube channel going, perhaps earn a little money. But, I'm afraid they'll just shoot me down if I bring it up or what I need. I also always felt like getting into a lot of activities such as Swimming would be a bother since they both work a lot. I don't know, maybe its just me.

I read somewhere that night owls most likely get higher IQs than their daytime counterparts. Whenever my father sees me on the phone at 2-3am, he always assumes I'm watching porn, but I actually just look up cool car stuff, etc. I also use Instagram and Facebook often, which my friends use as well. I'm 15.5 if this helps. I might have school on Tuesday, but I moved here, so I can't know when I'm actually ready. I tell Dad that I'm "just checking what time it is." He actually apparently allows me to stay up whenever I want, but that's only what he says to make me feel good. But he actually says put the phone away when I'm on it at night. I think my friends might be up late tho....

I'm 20 and I want to move out with a couple of friends. I know it's a waste of money while I'm a student but my mum's always "not allowing" me to do things, it's really stupid. She treats me like I'm 16 and says I'm not allowed to go clubbing or drink :/ and then gets super mad when I do. So anyways, as much as it will be sad to leave her and my little brother... I think I want to move out. I'll have more freedom, less distractions at home that keep me from studying, and I can actually learn how to live on my own. I just don't know the process, I've found houses for about $450 a week and me and 2 friends can split the costs of rent and bill etc.... is there anything else I should know?

my dad took us to a foreign country, 15'000 miles away...when I was 8. HE ABANDONED his family 8 years later, when we were teens...but he had planned it all along. HERE'S HOW I KNOW: We watched a video of us, when we were kids, on a cruise, and we noticed his current gf!!!...she was there on the boat. He must have known her around the same time he knew my mom. SO THE GUY CONSCIOUSLY brought us to another country in order to ABANDON US!!! How messed up is that, right? He waited long enough for us to assimilate, learn the language etc...so we couldnt catch up to him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVkATJHLvnc&index=3&list=FLznVjvwdYmPi3uuk9Z2X8XA Why does Tracy's sister and her parents judge her and her husband for not wanting kids? Her sister says " I'm single so that I'm not gonna have a child, and you know they might be missing out on something that I'd want." Tracy's sister also mentions how disappointed her parents felt that her sister and her husband did not want to have kids and that they wanted her to be a mother and give them grandkids. Wow they are extremely selfish (both her parents and her sister).

My grandparents are almost 70, and they ve raised 12 kids. A few were biological, but most were adopted... Myself included. One thing that has always struck me as odd, is that 5 of the adopted kids have told my grandparents that they were sexually abused. One by her biological parents... One granddaughter by the step-grandpa on the in-laws side. One grandson by his stepfather on the in-laws side. One grandson by his moms boyfriend... And his mom was the same girl who was molested by her bio parents. And one granddaughter by her older brother... The boy directly above. Oddly enough, I don t recall any real police action, except the boy who was molesting his sister was taken to a boys camp. Is this normal?
