intrusive 70 s old woman think her grand daughter in law is not good. her grandson will not divorce and wants to keep baby. great grandma think they don t have much money yet(they just started stable earning job) and not good parents.. so can that old woman get custody agaianst parents will?

So I had a talk with my dad about my school and why I have such low attendance. I started saying that he doesn't understand it (I had problems with anxiety, I felt like my friends were juding me, had bad grades, but i really cared about school and it made it even more stressing for me to go there. He didn't know about that.). He always came home drunk, never talked to me (not like i wanted that) and thinks he knows about me a lot, while he doesn't know much at all. Then we argued and I felt like I was gonna cry, and after some **** he said, I did. He said that he's sorry and he knows, that it might've seen like he didn't care, but he cared. For me it's really not enough to forgive, treat and love him like a real dad. I was actually fine with him being this way because I never talked to him, and didn't need to see him at all. After all things he has done (he and mom argued often, he called her a ***** and stuff. Mom is not perfect, but she really doesn't deserve to be called a *****. He's disgusting, smells bad, looks bad. His attitude is bad, he's loud, thinks that he knows it all.) it's really hard. And I feel like he'll want to talk to me more often, which i don't want. I want to be alone in my room and talk with him only if it's necessary. I don't like him as a person. I know he cares, but don't anymore. And I know I'll feel awkward when talking to him and mom (she saw me crying, and told my brother too). How to deal with it all? Should i ignore him?

First of all I want to point out that my dad is not abusive or anything like that. Ever since I can remember I haven't had the bed relationship with my dad my older sister and the best and my brother didn't really have the best relationship with him either but he did get on better then I did. We never really bonded and I feel he doesn't know me. But I can't stand him most of them time, he's annoying and irritates me the whole time, none of my siblings have the greatest relationship with him but no one tries and I honestly don't want to. When he's not at work he's on his phone or watching tv. And i know he does ALOT for me, as he provides for us and all but, I dunno.. It's kinda weird and he sometimes looks at my butt which freaks me out and it makes me stay away from him. Is this weird? Does anyone have a similar experience?

basically my uncle just found out that I got a A in one of my business assignments at college and he went all crazy and started to say there's no way I could have got a A I can never get a A ECT ECT I was just sitting there just watching him and laughing of how angry he got normally family are happy when you do good but in my case there's allot of jealousy and hatred in my family

My mom is very nice but i feel almost too nice. It pisses me off so much. She always says HIIIIII!!! (name!!!) every time she sees me even if i go upstairs for 5 min and come back down. And she always does stuff for me like make me breakfast and i just wish she would let me do my own thing. I know im only 15 but i feel like I already want to get the hell out of here and get my own place. When im out with my friends she tells me when she wants me home which is fine but she literally sets alarms to wake her up to make sure im home and ive never sneaked out or come home way after she told me so there is no reason to be so cautious. She tells me she hates sleeping when her "baby" isnt home and it just pisses me off. I used to love her but after 15 years of the same lines and jokes im just done HELPP! x

My brother is 12 and he isn t very strong or anything so he is not huge but my mom is not weak either This is the first time she has ever physically hurt him. She yells at us a lot even about the littlest thing and she punches stuff but she just hit my brother because he was giving her an attitude he did not curse at her he was just giving her a hard time about going to sports practice. My mom does not care at all she just went right back to acting normal I want to get her therapy or something because before when she has yelled at us she has said things like "I really want to hit you right now" and "I am going to kill myself" What should I do? I am so scared of her now.

What's up girls, I'm Nick and I'm 23. So here's what happened today. My dad and I were over at my cousin Caroline's (she's 29) house. For no reason we decided to make fun of Caroline just for a laugh by calling her a dumb blonde doll but it would be Caroline who got the last laugh. After we made fun of her she got real mad and made a bet with us. Long story short my dad and I lost the bet to Caroline so now we have to stay at her house and do whatever she says for the rest of the day. Here's where you girls come in. Caroline wants to make us regret ever making fun of her and she wants you girls to help. So she wants you girls to answer the following questions she has for you below.. 1) Since my dad and I called her a dumb blonde, she wants to know if she should put blonde wigs on us? 2) She also wants to put my dad and I in a tutu. She has a pink one and a white one so she wants to know between my dad and I who should wear the pink one and who should wear the white one?? 3) Since she only has 1 pair of high heels that would my dad and I. She wants to know between my dad and I, who should wear the high heels and who should have to gracefully walk on their tip toes all day?? 4) She's having one of us bake and cook and the other one clean. So who should cook and who should clean? 5) And finally.. She wants my dad and I to entertain her while she enjoys her meal so she wants to know.. Should she make us do ballet for her? Slow dance together for her? Or both??

Mine is staying at home all day and night because I know how scary the real world is and how harsh it is. And it's been keeping me from going to college and pursuing my dreams.

Ok, I'm a 15 and a girl. I have 3 brothers and a sister. My parents keep shouting at me and every single thing that I do they give out about. They ask me to do everything even though my brothers don't do anything. My mom says that I always have my hand out looking for money and that I get everything that I want which isn't true at all! I just need money for school like books or a ticket to a play that I have to go to. I don't really get along with my brothers that much but I don't fight with them but I get along with my sister except she lives in Dublin because she goes to college. I'm too young to get a job for another 6 months so I'm literally stuck in the house. I'm in fifth year so I've loads of homework and all but I go out on the weekends. I can't stand them anymore its not fair! Every day this week I've been in my room because they keep shouting at me and I've cried so much its unbelievable! I try to ignore them but they just won't stop What should I do?:(

I have had a stepmom or almost 2 years now. I love her pets and i dont always hate her, but sometimes she gets in a crazy mood and screams at my dad "WHY DID YOU CHEAT ON ME". I know what she says is a lie because it only happens on nights we have company over and she drinks so much wine, enough to make 2 men drunk. I am 13, and i have 2 smaller brothers. one is 8 and one will be 11 soon. When she gets in these moods I lock the door to m brothers and i, room. When i hear my dad come up, I open the door and he says we are going to my grandmother's house. When we go downstairs sometimes glass is cracked, and one time i saw my stepmoms tablet smashed on the TV. WHAT DO I DO?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it hurt my feelings and i havent spoken to her in two days... shouldnt she be the one to apologize? i understand were both adults but shouldnt she be the bigger person? Maxi, thank you for your answer. however its not the fact that she said i was a horrible driver, its the fact that she screamed it at me that hurt my feelings. If she would have joked about it or at least said "im sorry i yelled, but you should work on doing this or that.." it would be different. ugh.. idk :/

I am an 18 year old male, and I have a 16 year old brother. Tell me if this is weird or abnormal, Okay? So my brother and I are very close brothers! Like we are really tight, and a lot of people say we are the same people! So I want out health to be the same...like everytime I eat something healthy like a salad or fruit, I want him to eat a salad or fruit. When I floss my teeth, I want him to floss his teeth, when I go outside and exercise like jog, I want him to do that and so on! Is it weird? Do other brothers care that much about what there younger brothers do? The problem is that if I don't tell him or remind him to do it, he won't do it! He will sit on his butt all day and play video games and eat sugar, and never drink water, and never floss and never eat vegetables and just be an unhealthy person! I don't want a little brother with diabetes and gum disease, who is lazy and never goes outside and just has many problems. I really want to just let him do him and let him live and learn his own lessons and if his teeth fall out then that was his choice! By the way he really hates it when I tell him to do stuff. I want to focus on my own life and not tell him when to go outside or eat something healthy! But I feel guilty everytime he is eating something sugary sitting in front of the TV not moving, like I feel like I should help him! But my parents said to let him be, and he will grow up one day and change things! Is this true? Should I let him be?

Just so everyone knows I am now 24 but growing up my parents seemed a bit "crazy" if you will. My bio mother used to beat on me just because I looked just like my father. I would always on her saying "How is it fair that you beat on me because I look like him?" I mean if you don't want me to look like him... then make babies with someone else. My father would go to work and she would try and manipulate me. Saying different things to me at age young ages like elementary school age. She once showed me a shot like a needle... and told me that when I got home my daddy would be put to sleep forever. This alarmed me so I told my dad. I was only in 2nd grade at that time. She always hated me for some reason but favored my little sister. But after the divorce she split town after giving me years of mental and physical abuse. Such as: Hitting me choking me, trying to smother me, locking me in closets calling me ugly fat, stupid, and so on. Well she split on my 13th bday. My dad got remarried the next year to a woman he only knew... for 2 months! My older step brother tried to molest me but I got away from him. My father would always point out things that I did like my mother such as" The way I ate, The way I ordered food, The way I would drink, maybe certain opinions I had at the time. I couldn't do anything without him grounding me ....for "acting like her" I didn't even realize I was doing anything to make him mad. He made me run around the yard until I couldn't do it any more. And he brought me water and told me I couldn't have it and poured it out at my feet. I threw up from the heat Would you say they are narcissistic people? The story is really long but I can't share it all here. My step mom abused me as well. She didn't want me but wanted my little sister whom was six at the time and I was 14. She would spoil my sister but treat me differently and my father didn't care. I struggled in life where they paid for my sister to go to college, got her a new car, never abused her.... for some reason I was the punching bag. Even my older step brother was treated this way... but not the younger children My step mom abused me as well. She didn't want me but wanted my little sister whom was six at the time and I was 14. She would spoil my sister but treat me differently and my father didn't care. I struggled in life where they paid for my sister to go to college, got her a new car, never abused her.... for some reason I was the punching bag. Even my older step brother was treated this way... but not the younger children My father would pretty much take away all of my confidence then when I was at my lowest point... it's like he would do a 360 a be "nice" for maybe 2 weeks then bam back to his old ways. He would tell me that whites were the better race. I never agreed with him. He beat on me for having different friends of different races. It was like I couldn't do anything... but the more I read about narcissistic people the more I see it in him. Thanks for any answers on my question

I took my 17 year nephew old in when he was having a crisis (rebellion) with his father. His father stated he would give me $125 per week for support. For a month he paid me on time. Then payments got further and furthe apart, but did not change in amount: meaning he did not pay in full. Nephew left 30 weeks later. Father paid me for 17 weeks. I am looking for ideas on how to address this. Should I ask for the $$? It feels so petty, but having him here was a financial strain for sure. What do you all think? Thanks...

I moved out yesterday and left my parents a note. I'm living with my boyfriend and his mom. My mom called me and told me to come home today by the time she gets home from work, and apply at places near my house. My mom is trying to contact my boyfriends mom too.

She's had her boobs done from less than an A to a D, she's had a ton of face surgery so she looks younger and prettier than she did when she was 20. I'm 18 and she's 54 and she's way hotter than me and guys my age aren't afraid to let me know. I hate myself so much, and she loves to parade around in tight tiny dresses all the time. She only started all this surgery when I became a teenager and she acts like it's a competition to be pretty. She's been married to my dad for 28 years like why the hell does she need all this? It makes me feel like sh*t about myself whenever I see a picture of her and I together and I literally start crying. It's not fair that everyone constantly tells me how beautiful she is when it's literally $30,000 + in plastic surgery. I hate myself so much why can't I be pretty and why can't she be like a normal mom who isn't more focused on her looks than her child??? She just blows all her money away on that when she could be helping me pay for school...like thanks mom. I wish I could just be prettier than her like a normal daughter, most moms are focused on helping their daughters feel good about themselves at my age. I hate how self centered she is I already feel like no one cares about me and she just adds to it.

Ok, so my husband and I just found out yesterday that our 7 year old son has been lying to everyone. I have no idea what to do. What happened: My mother and I picked up my son after school yesterday and he looked unusually sad, so we asked him what was wrong. All he would say was the usual "nothing" in a dejected tone. I did push him to tell me what had happened to make him so sad and that we knew that it wasn't just 'nothing' that would cause that. He responded with "a girl kicked me today" So the first question out of my mouth is "did you tell a teacher?" I was angry. Someone kicked my son? Not okay. He told me no, because he thought that 'they wouldn't believe him' Somewhere down the road to our house he confesses to me that it wasn't really a girl that had kicked him. I was shocked. But I kept probing. He claimed that it was really a child he has problems with that had actually kicked him. I was upset that he had lied about it, but I wasn't sure what to do I asked him if that was REALLY what had happened. Then his story completely changed yet again. Now he was saying that no one had kicked him. That the other boy had simply stuck his tongue out at him. I was furious. It hurt that I couldn't believe what my son had said. He knows that in our house, lying is unacceptable. Then we find that he has been lying to us and his teacher all week about his school work. Major lies. Now I don't know how to punish him. Any creative ideas? no tv, no games, time out all don't work.

At 35 years old, I was stressing at a new job in Boston. I hated it. It was in advertising, and I was overworked, underpaid and didn't like any of my supervisors. Because I freak out easily, I decided to jump ship. My friend from my parent's city, who we'll call Ethel, advised me "Why not just move back home with your parents? You said their house is paid for. Just live there for a year and take some time off." I liked this idea immensely. A year with no work and just me relaxing would help me revamp. My parents would balk if they found out I quit, so I called them up and made up a sob story about the bosses firing me and my landlord threatening eviction. I cried and cried until my mother, who seemed aggravated, eventually snapped "Fine! Just come home and we'll see what to do. Stop whining." Success! I was able to get them to agree. I arrived by taxi from the airport at my parent's front porch. My mother was there, but she didn't look happy. She seemed grouchy, old and tired. "I've made up your room, I'll be right back- I need to get a load of laundry." When she left, I quickly called Ethel to tell her the great news, and that my parents bought the sob story! I was actually laughing from relief. Ethel told me she would meet me at the bar in a few hours to celebrate. I hung up the phone- only to notice my mother's angry expression in the door reflection. Before I had a chance to explain, she slammed the front door and locked it.

I m almost ashamed to even say this, but I m 27 and my mother still invades my personal space. She has a key to my home, which I gracious gave to her the very moment I moved in, but now I m starting to regret my decision. Last night, a friend who I m letting stay with me until she gets on her feet called me at work stating she saw my mother leaving my apartment unannounced. This infuriates me beyond measure. She understands that this woman staying with me is a lesbian, which worries her for whatever reason, but still it does not give her the right to enter my home unannounced. I would like to demand my key back, but I do not want her to get even more paranoid... Any answers?

While I was patiently waiting at the barber shop, I noticed a live-action Eric Cartman cursing up a storm. He actually pointed to all the barbers and customers individually and said, "F*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you, and f*ck you!" His father, who was getting a haircut, calmly told him to be quiet. His son's rebuttal was "Shut the hell up, Dad!" At that point, I anxiously awaited for "Operation: Take a 'Time Out' to Pick Up Your Teeth" to commence. But the father just sat there. Fortunately, the kid eventually wore himself out, which was evident from him sliding down in the chair and placing his head on the armrest. His father then said, "What's wrong, Papi?" WTF Don't console him! After he was done getting a haircut, he mentioned that the reason why his son has a potty mouth is because he and wife curse a lot around the house. And the Father of the Year award goes to...

So I m a teenager that lives with my mother and father, singlw child. Just I think yesterday a man emailed my mother saying that if she wanted apartments to move into. Then after they talked on the phone the man offered her a whole house instead. So he sent us an address and we went to go see the house, but only from the outside. It s beautiful. The family wanted a bit under $2000 dollars for the whole house, 4 bedrooms, a living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, and basement. I was extremely happy. But here s the thing. This morning the man asked us to send him $1000 dollars through mail and then he would send us the keys. (he moved to another state) Is this a scam? I m not sure but i really hope it isn t. It all really seemed too bra to be true. So he called her and asked her for the money, then my mother called me and my dad. My dad says it s probably a scam. So my mother called him back and said that they would have to meet in person to make the deal, and sign papers and stuff, then he hung up the phone. We are now calling him back and emailing him to see what is up. I really hope it isnt but I m not sure, I m just a teenager.

My little brother lives with narc Mom and is not learning anything ! My poor bro has super bad hygiene , get made fun of at school frown emoticon ( he drops out and more. al he does is video games in his room frown emoticon .. I love him so much !! and worried . he s 16 now!. Im thinking about going to narc s home and seeing my brother ,giving him a gift and hug , some real love and care ! yet Narc mom is gonna act all sad after i give him love and not her !.. what to do what to do cry emoticon

M parents are mad at me for losing money. How do i make them forgive me?

My cousin, who invited me to her 40th birthday, wrote that on the invitation. I can probably count on my fingers and toes how many times I've seen her in my life (we didn't grow up together; we live 200 miles apart from each other). So I'm trying to look past how blunt she was on the invite, and make it my duty to attend her party NOT empty-handed. Keep in mind that she actually said to me, in regards to our low-income cousin, "Knowing Mary's broke-a$$, all I'll be getting from her is a picture frame." Since I make much more money than Mary, I can only imagine how disappointed the birthday girl would be if I didn't give her money. Therefore, rather just abide by her request, I was thinking of going beyond that, since it's the big 4-0... Perhaps enclose a check for $100 in a musical birthday card, and get her a nice stylish shawl as well. Any thoughts?

I'm 24 and I have a close ladyfriend who is 25. We hang out as often as we can. But when she's over at my house she hangs out with my little brother more than me. He's 12. They drink after each other and sometimes she wears his jacket. They ride bikes together, play video games and spend hours hanging out acting goofy. My brother can be bratty sometimes but she gets very defensive over him if anyone says anything remotely negative about him. She and I get along great but it kind of feels weird that she is closer to my little bro than I am. My bro and I aren't close at all and sometimes I even get jealous. Am I wrong for thinking this is strange?

After my Dad left yesterday after years of tribulation and turmoil, I thought that I d feel relieved, but me and my sister both agree we just feel sort of numb to the situation. It s weird. Is this normal?

Ok so I am an 18 year old male and I have a 16 year old little brother, and for like a year I have been telling him what to do and what not to do regarding health! Like since we are close brothers, I like follow him everywhere saying "Did you drink water today"? Or "Have you exercised today, jog around the block?" I don't know why but I want him to be healthy like me! I live for being healthy! I lift weights, Exercise all the time, Don't eat sugar, drink water, brush his teeth well, floss his teeth, stretch, don't stay up late, all of that! Like but he doesn't do any of it unless I remind him...!! He doesn't floss his teeth unless i tell him, he sits on his butt and plays video games all day, doesn't get outside and exercise a lot, eats a bunch of sweets and candy, doesn't drink water, and like always watches TV! I know he's younger but still, does he not care? Should I stop telling him to do stuff and just let him be unhealthy?? I don't want a fat brother with gum disease! I want to get on with my own life being healthy, but I don't think he is healthy?! If you don't get exercise for a week, do you get any less healthy? What do i do?? Help!!

I am a 15 year old girl and live with my dad since he divorced my mom. We moved into my stepmom's place after they married a couple of weeks ago. Dad leaves early for work, and I then leave for school. My stepmom stays in bed until later, since she has a home business. Yesterday my alarm clock did not go off so I woke up pretty late. I got up and went to her bedroom to ask her for a lift to school (I had already missed the bus). She was not there so I ran downstairs to the kitchen. She was there pouring herself a cup of coffee. All she had on was a pair of flip-flops!! I felt super awkward, but told her what happened. She said just get dressed and I'll drive you. I went to my room and got dressed, then went down. She was waiting in the car already. She had the same flip flops, a pair of cotton shorts and a hoodie. As we drove, I noticed she had nothing under the hoodie (the car was chilly and you could tell...). My mom always wore pajamas to bed and clothes when around the house, I'd never seen someone go around like that. Is that something some moms do?

So earlier my mom asked me to go upstairs and tell my little brother Blake that dinner was ready. He was supposed to be doing his homework. He's 13, I'm 15. I knocked on his door and there was no answer. I figured he had his music on. So I opened the door. He didn't have headphones on. He was sitting at his desk in nothing but his boxers. He quickly flipped his laptop shut and yelled at me to get out. I told him he had to come down for dinner and he said he couldn't stand up and he quickly put a pillow over the front of his boxers and kept yelling at me to get out. Then he kept begging me "please don't tell mom and dad". I only caught a glimpse of his computer screen but there was a naked woman on it. I'm pretty sure he was watching something dirty. All my little brother does lately is talk about girls and how hot they all are at our school. He's also been spending a lot more time in his bedroom and the bathroom than usual. I don't know what to do. Should I tell my mom? I think he was watching porn when he was supposed to be doing his homework. I don't get why he didn't wanna stand up. My brother sleeps in just his boxers at night anyway and generally doesn't care if we see him in his boxers usually. Lately he hasn't been wanting to get out of bed straight away in the morning. He just tells my mom he can't get out of bed yet. I don't know why. I don't understand why he quickly put a pillow over his boxers either. He's never been this secret before. What should I do?

And for whatever reason, I haven't seen my uncle, on my moms side since that day. I have to see him today at a family funeral. I'm so nervous to see him because he just dropped me and my mom. I don't know what to do, any ideas? Should I say hi or just ignore him?

Me and my boyfriend just bought our first home together. I have been on my own since I was 17 years old my mother left me and moved to another country after my parents got divorced and been working and had a very independent lifestyle. I feel my relationship is getting very serious and marriage And kids are in my mind. But I feel like when I do decide to get married and have kids my mother will not be there for me like everyone else's. She moved back here to visit my grandma and stopped to see me after three years and spent one day with me...now she is moving back to another country even though she promised she would stay. It just makes me depressed knowing she won't be around to see what my future brings..

Her father (my step dad) used to molested me. My dad pressed charge on him and it's not done yet. I know the baby is innocent , she so cute and tiny. She didn't hurt me but I just can't stand. When I look at her face my heart beats crazy and I feel a deep mad anger inside. I'm not the guilty one but I hate myself because not loving her. After all she's my sister

I just found out I am not going to be able to go on a trip to Europe with my school. And I keep finding out more of what they are going to do. How do deal with this saddness? How can I tell my dad that I'm upset by it but with out him feeling feeling bad about it?

My uncle told me a story of when he and my dad were kids. The drinking age was 18 back then, so my uncle(15 at the time) asked my dad to go and get he and his buddies a 12 pack of beer. My dad agrees and goes to the store and gets the 12 pack. My uncle and his buddies were set up about half a mile into the forest, so my dad decided to ride his bike on hand on handlebars and one carrying the beer. Right when he got where my uncle and his friends were hanging ot, his bike hits a stone and he(and the beer) go head over handlebars causing the beer bottles to shatter. My dad stands up bleeding from the torso, and my uncle s friends yell "THE BEER!!!!"

all my life since i was 4, im 35. she has hated me. lied on me, talked about me, excluded me, i can just say hi to my dad, or walk in the room an she looks mad...an rolls her eyes...i dont get it.

So me and and my family have been on vacation for two days so far. We are in Oahu right now. The problem is that we have been fighting constantly ever since we got here. Paradise is starting to feel like hell and I don't know what to do. My twin sister complains about everything and tries to one-up everyone. My dad yells at me for everything and never takes my side for anything. And my mom makes me feel extremely guilty and then gets mad when I try apologizing. I'm the one in the middle who tries to stop the the fighting before is escalates and then gets yelled at by everyone for doing so, usually resulting in a screaming match. We have two and a half weeks left, and I don't want to fight for the whole vacation. Please help. Me and my sister are 16 and my parents are around 50 if that helps with advice in any way.

earlier this year during summer i got to go down to Florida for two weeks. i was staying at my grandparents house. average size house had 3 bedrooms with 4 beds all together plus the couch. anyways we were there with my uncle-aunt-grandparents-my mother-my cousin. i'm the older one out of my cousin and i.. so we get down there and i have to sleep on this couch. my little cousin is 10 at this time. she could of slept on the couch cause she is extremely small at this point. i'm a pretty big guy i'm 16 at the time and about 6 foot(little taller probably) so i decide i mightiest will sleep on the floor so i do. so there is the first problem then ontop of this these people wake up around 7-8 in the morning and are extremely loud(i'm in the living room and the kitchen is right there. so i wake up whenever they decide to start being loud. this goes on the entire time and i just take that. so at this point the past couple days(about 2 days) i'm not able to run properly on that. anyways while we're out at the beach one day i decide to go back to the house and decide to get a nap in a real bed(which i pick my moms) so i'm trying to sleep my grandmother(a real prick) comes in and says "oh no don't go to bed you're 16 why are you even tired"(note this is like 10 minutes of me really falling to sleep). at this point in time i flip out because i've only got 10 hours of sleep the past couple days and can't operate on that alone. am i wrong for freaking out?

Neither one of my parents can stand to be in the same room as eachother. Even in court they have gotten into screaming matches. My father is a crazy control freak. I wasn't allowed to even paint my nails until I was 7 and it was only neutral colors until I was 10. Now that he divorced my mom its only gotten worse. I am 16 but still not allowed to wear makeup. He tracks my phone everywhere I go now. He demands to meet all of my female friends parents before I can even stay over. He absolutely does not want me dating. My relationship with my mother meets all the requirements of being emotionally abusive toward me. She is either saying she loves me and im the center of ber world or she is saying that because I didn't go with her that day she is going to hang herself or go back to her country and never ever come back. My mom has wanted me to date for awhile now but I'm afraid to give her another thing to use against me. I don't even really know if its a good idea to have him meet my parents but I think he will want to so I have to figure out a way to tell them about him first. Also, we went on our first date and I had an amazing time so I hope I can get my parents figured out!! Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, my mum says i only talk to her but not other people much and not my dad either... im scared to talk to other people. plz help??

Basically my mother hates my boyfriend because he comes from a poor family and has tattoos, despite me having tattoos as well. What the hell. He's sweet, works hard, honest, and loyal. Should I ignore my mother on this? ( Im 19 and he's 20) And how do I explain that my mom is just close minded and to not take it personally? ( He seems to be upset because he doesn't know what he did to make her disapprove of him)

I really want to go to supanova (a comic con like event) but it's three hours away. I'll be going with 5 other friends and 1 parent so we should be fine but last time I asked to do something similar I was shot down straight away. I'm having thoughts of just lying but I don't think I can do it. I want to find other options so I don't have to lie but still be given the chance to go. I'll even pay for it all on my own. Please give me your opinion, thanks in advance (Ps. It's kind of ironic because they were completely open to ideas of studying abroad by myself but not this)

They are like fire and ice and their personalities are completely opposites. He started to hate her when she didn't 'allow' me (a 19 year old person) to see him for a month because she found out we had sex and wanted me to get birth control but the appointment was a month away. Luckily I realized that I was an adult and went to see him. He is a person who hates being told what to do and when to do it. He hates that she is so controlling over me. He also feels a weird vibe when he is around her because he feels like she is faking niceness. He can sense that she has a probelm with him he admitted to me. He no longer feels welcome at my house * He treats me good but my mom only notices the bad. She constantly says bad things about us and I hate it. His family treats me like family but MY family doesn't return the same love to him because of my mother. I think she is jealous because at 19 she was single with two kids and "ruined" her life. I'm living the life she never had why can't she just be happy for me? ):

im stuck in the middle of my relationship and a war going on between my boyfriend and my mother..if i take my moms side my boyfriend gets upset,if i take his side she gets upset.my mom is very negative towards my relationship and has never liked him.my mom is very controlling and it all blew up last night when she told him how she feels about him..i love him and all.my mom has been this way before and always makes me feel guilty that i am not spending time with her or im to nice to my boyfriend and i give him alot of time.im just the one stuck in the middle of all of this.after what she said to him last night i dont think we will be together any more.my mom says she will do anything that we are not together any more.i do love him and he is a good man.i will find it very awkward now after what mom said to him and i dont know what to say to my boyfriend to fix this.

Me and my mom and my sisters never got along. They were always her favorite and I was well in the bottom of her least favorite people...literally everyday we would argue, I'm expecting my second child. I'm moving out in less than 2 weeks with my boyfriend, we're getting our own house, my mom hates me cause I choose my boyfriend over her and it's not that I do it's just that she lost my respect for always letting my sisters hit me and treat me like dirt and she treated me like dirt as well.. I feel bad because she feels as if I don't love her and I always will but I'll never respect her for the way she treated me infront of my child.

It has recently come to light that my dad has been gambling. My mom has been upset lately and I asked her what was going on and she said that money has been missing from the bank account and that my dad has become very distant from her. I looked up signs of a gambling addiction and he fits them all: neglecting family, distant, money missing, mood swings, defensive when asked where he s been. I did some digging around and was able to confirm that he is going to the casino. I want to help my mom but don t know how. He has tried to talk to him before and he denied it and told her to mind her own business. He think is he has it under control but what started off as $100 a week has turned into $500. My dad is very old fashioned and will not react well to us confronting him about his issue. Most likely he will get mad and deny it all. And I suspect he will storm out. Please help

Will you let a boy clean ur high heels, flats, slippers, shoes etc on a daily basis? U jus hav to remove it on ur door mate and next tym u come bak, he will make it shining for his Madam. He will not spoil them, he wil really take care of them. You can even find the bottom clean. watz ur opinion?

I'm contemplating on suicide right now, and have had thoughts of ending it for months now but right now Its stronger than ever. I'm a 14 year old girl, I moved to another state, leaving my friends behind and right now nothing is going right. I'm the 2nd oldest of 5 children. I'm on part time online school so I can babysit my 2 youngest siblings who are 4 and 1 years old. Both my parents work. I only get paid $50 bucks a month for taking care of the babies for 8 hours or more on a daily basis unless one of my parents have a day off. They don't have enough money to pay me anymore so I'd feel guilty even thinking of asking for more. Since my parents need me to babysit, I don't have time for hobbies or friends. I have no friends here, my best friend moved to another country. I don't get help when babysitting since my oldest brother sleeps all day and doesn't take as good of care of them as I do, and my younger brother goes to school. I live with my mom, stepdad, 3 brothers, and younger sister in a 3 bedroom apartment. We're suppose to be buying a house soon but we've already went through the process of buying a house for 2 houses only to drop them at the last minute because of foundation issues or the area. But I feel like we're never going to buy a house. So my daily schedule consists of waking up, trying to do some school work, and babysitting all day. Then when my parents come home, I stay in my room and look at decorating ideas, then I sleep. For some reason.....

My dad passed away on September 13th of this year. It all happened so suddenly. He was working on the yard, thought he got too much sun, came inside, took a shower and went to lay down. The rest of my family and I were in the living room and about 20 mins later my mom went to check on him and he had foam coming out of his mouth and after about a minute of her being in there he lost his pulse. My sis and brother-in-law did cpr on him. The ambulance came and took him to the hospital. They said he had a heart attack. He was only 37. He was healthy, the doctors couldn't figure out how it happens, although he worked 238 hours in 20 days, I believe he worked himself to death. I'm completely lost without him, I'm only 18. I can't sleep at night, I'm having panic attacks and anxiety attacks, and he was the only one who could calm me down from them. My heart literally hurts because he's not here and I'm scared. Now, he's not my biological dad, he adopted me when my bio dad gave up his rights, so I don't have his genes. I just really don't know what to do and I don't even know if this explains exactly how I feel. I've talked to my mom about it and I've made an appointment with my psychiatrist, so hopefully he'll help me. I feel really unhappy and lost. If anyone has any advice on how I can get through this massive bump in the road I would really appreciate it.

I have completely cut my father off. For years, we have struggled to have a relationship, but now it has just fallen apart. The main problem is his fiancee. She despises me and does everything in her power to make me uncomfortable. My father always takes up for her (even when she told me to "get the hell" out of her house....the house they share). Where I drew the line is when she threw water in my face and called the police saying I threatened her. My dad took her side even though he knows that when he needs money, she won't help, but I will donate plasma to help. My mother flew off the handle and told my father he wasn't being a real father. Now, he says he is done with me and my mom. He keeps making excuses for her behavior, but can't see why my mom and I are mad. Now he acts like he is overly concerned when I don't speak to him (he called the police for a wellness check a few days ago). Was I wrong to cut him off?

If I go with this, it would be my second time blowing college. I already dropped out once and was forced into it again by my parents. I don't really care for education. I hate going there every single day. Even the people there aren't really my kind and I hate being there. All I want to do is move to LA and join band. Its not like my family's poor anyway, if I fail as a musician, I still have something to fall back on and live a normal life. I just hate going to school. Its not for everyone. I'm failing all my classes anyway. I know for a fact that they'll cut me off if I drop out again. That sucks too because I've never worked a day in my life. I hate my life. I can't go to school and I can't really drop out because my life would become difficult then. I'm in a tough spot. What do I do ? My parents can't understand my world they're actually immigrants from another culture and stress on education, values and all that crap. I just hate it and can't go either way

So when I go out around 10 or 11 I go to the gym or sometimes go out with my friends, then my mom asks why I go out late... like I'm old enough to take care of myself whether it's morning or late and I'm not the only one that goes to the gym at 10 or 11 in fact I see a lot of my friends there .. and when it hits 1 or 2 am my mom texts me "come home its late" and calls me that's the time I get out from working out... to be honest I don't hang out with my friends most of the time any more it's been months.. I've just been working out late and still she tells me to come home... my dad's cool when I come home late... but my mom.... I'm not a child any more isn't this weird that she still does this to me?!?! Tells me to come home and calls.. isn't this odd for my age she does this ?

I was going to the tv room to ask my dad a question and the door was closed, which usually isn't, so I knocked and waited a few seconds and opened the door to find my dad on the couch with a blanket on covering his lower body and his hand on his neck. I could tell what was happening because I could see his bulge through the blanket and I said never mind and walked out. He then came over to me and asked me what I needed and I said never mind. A few minutes later he came out of the room with a crinkled paper towel in his hand and I asked for the something and he brought it to me and I could clearly see what was in the napkin. This is probably the most awkward thing ever. Something similar also happened a while ago I walked in and saw his hand down his pants. I respect that he has his freedom it's just a little awkward for his son to see these kinds of things. I just feel now I see him in a completely more awkward way. A little advice to help with the...awkwardness. Thanks.

... them being jealous of my superior looks/success, the other 15 percent I kicked to the curb because they had exhausted their use.

When I was 6, my parents divorced as my "dad" cheated on my mom. I can still remember hearing my mom crying every night in her own room. When I was 9, I had a step father, he doesn't seemed to like me and never bothered talking to Me. Once when I was 10, we were swimming, all of a sudden, he forcefully pushed me under water for a long time until I almost drowned But luckily, that happened only for once. When I was 13, I entered high school, I was bullied by a few boys for being poor. But that doesn't matters, I am trained to be independents. When I was 24 I finished uni, I met a man when we fell in love at first sight. We married within half a year, and he cared for me. I thought I can finally enjoy happiness. I borned 2 children. But 5 years after our marriage, I found him cheating with his secretary. When I confessed him, he ran away with all our money, all that I earned so badly. Leaving us behind. I am now living with my mom, and my stepfather hates us, especially me so much now. He often says I am a useless chicken, even in front of mom. But I can only stay silence, for the sake of my children.i will educate them to be aware of men, why are men so Cruel?

Ok, so I feel like a wimp for asking this because I m fifteen. They re on a trip which they don t do often. This one has been hard since school just started. It s also been hard since it s only me and my sister. We talk and all but I don t really talk that much like I did with my parents. Can anyone help me? Again I feel like a baby but honestly I just can t suck it up. I get this anxiety that something will happen. There in Vegas which isn t always the safest of places so... Yea

Hi, my name is Ryan. I'm having trouble being able to stand my home life. It's beyond stressful. My parents constantly yell at me and argue with me. They don't allow me to talk to my biological father, or talk and meet the three sisters I have But never knew about till recently. They are starting to not let me see my significant other any more who I need to see or this stress deeply effects me even more. They hardly let me do anything and they get mad at my simplest easy to fix mistakes. Theres so much more that I wouldn't have time to talk about... Anyway. I have a job interview tomorrow. If I get this job or the others I got calls from I'll be able to support my self. But I could also live with someone on my biological fathers side.. I want to leave. is it legally possible for me to just up and move?
