My boyfriend of 10 years and father to our two children is not a responsible parent. He doesn't think twice about letting people we don't know near our children and it causes me anxiety I couldn't even describe if I wanted to. His cousin has been watching our girls one day a week while were at work(the only day the girls are not with one of us). Recently our 9 month old had a diaper rash when I got home from work which she did not have previously which upset me. He doesn't see the fact that it was caused by his cousin as a problem, and tried to blame it on me. His cousin's boyfriend is coming to visit and I had to make it explicitly clear I wasn't comfortable with him being with the girls while we were not around to which he replied "why would that be an issue?". I found other child care for this week but am not sure that I should tell him I'm uncomfortable with them being watched by her any longer. It bothers me even more that he is not proactive what so ever. Any advice?

We have alot of problems in our family, recently my parents had a huge fight. I saw my dad opening the door to leave , I thought he was going out to cool off then come back.I looked at him and I didn't say anything I thought he was coming back, but he didn't, we don't know anything about him, we called the cops and reported him missing still there's nothing. I'm dying inside I wish I had said something, What should I do?

I am 22, 4 months pregnant with my first love who is 29. I use to be a nanny, watched many kids in my life but never came across a kid like this.I was always nice to the kid even when he s mean because I don t hit or yell at kids .My boyfriend gets his son on the weekends and I give them space but the kid tells me rude things like"your so big" "ewww" when he seen a pic of me on his dad s phone but when he saw a pic before he didn t say that, he will throw spit balls at a restaurant, he yells and demands things, says bad words , one time he picked up dirt yelled at me and threw it at me, one time he yelled saying i better ask his dad for a cord to this game when I told him I already ask, he says he s gonna kill me, and he makes a racist comment when I m making him some strawberry milk, he said he s Mexican and he s talking to me like a white person and that I m tryna act Mexican but I m not...which I don t know where he gets this stuff from, when my boyfriend and I are talking his son tells me "no your lieing " or little other comments, I feel like I m getting bullied by a kid but my boyfriend feels guilty because he barely sees his son so he lets him do what he wants.I have cried for letting a kid treat me like crap and my boyfriend thinks because he s just a kid that it s okay but when you re a kid they have to respect elders and teach them right.But I love my man he is great with me, and I wouldn t want to throw it all away for a kid.So how do I handle this in my own way.

I am 24 years old and work two jobs. My first job I work from 2pm til 10pm then my other job from 11pm til 4am. I have a 7 year old daughter and i dont really see her only mornings before she goes to school. I dont know what to do. I am tired. I would love to see my daughter and have time to spend with her. My husband is unemployed and i dont have a high school diploma or GED so its even harder. What to do?

My husband drives a truck and is gone for several days at a time and our son still lives at home. I've constantly caught him spying on me in the shower and bedroom. My bedroom door locks but if the handle is turned real hard it opens and he did that last night while my bra was off and getting ready to put on my nighty. He grabbed my nighty and wouldn't give it to me until I started crying and he just stared at me. Should I call the police or what? I'm afraid he is going to do something bad to me.

My dad hits me a lot .. He hits me whenever he feels like it ... Like this one time i was filling water in my cup and he started hiting me saying that i was not filling it right .. He slaped me with his sandals .. I can't take this anymore.. I'm tired of being abused physically and emotionally all the time ... I can't do anything about it because i need his money to study.. My mom knows about this .. She says it's normal .. All parents do it .. I try my best not to hate him but i just hate him soo much ... Whenever i say something back he emotionally blackmails me by saying he spends so much money on me and I'm paying him back like this .. I don't know what to do...

My mom throughout my life keeps threatening me and my sister that she will leave the house and never see us again. My parents are divorced so it's hard for us when we were kids because we don't know what to do. She tried many times to leave us and pack her things. Today She made a fight with me and decided to leave me alone with my sister. Although I'm adult it's just odd for a mom to do that. I thought mothers have some sort of instincts that prevents them ever leaving their kids behind. Does my mom ever have that instinct? My mom always blame us for the life that she had missed because she gave birth to us and I'm like then maybe she should've never had me in the first place so I don't have to go through her torture. OMG you guys assume my mom will go easy and smooth on this, Geez my mom is not like that I tried to take her the easy way and understand her and do what she likes and she spits out on my face like it's nothing to her if I say sorry, she tells me go away u r hopeless case

I get 1 to 4 hours to myself after work (depending on the kids homework load) and I get nearly no time to myself on the weekend as the entire weekend is family time. So what's a good process to scrutinize my interests, hobbies, aspirations, and my time wasters to fit within my fluctuating schedule?

I was able to control my anger with my mom about the things that she was doing in the house and how she was wasting money and call me bad names no matter what good I try to do to her. I wanted to go to her room and yell at her. Instead today morning she came to my room and started yelling and screaming and said everything is my fault and she is sick of putting up with me I started yelling to and despite the fact that I think I'm right and she is wrong. I feel guilty now for letting myself slip and get angry. I was trying to ignore her throughout the entire time even when she treats me and is so mean to me. It all built up a tower of emotions inside me and when she bursted that bubble, its like all what I've been going through with her just came out. I just can't understand why Allah SWT gave me a drama queen for a mother AR for all my life I asked Allah SWT to soften my mom's heart towards me and make me get rid of this dilemma. She has no mercy on me, all her harshness can turn someone into a psychopath. I asked Allah SWT For this all my life, literally, I used to cry in my prayers begging Allah SWT for help. Don't judge me ALSO MY MOM IS NOW SAYING SHE WILL PACK HER THINGS AND LEAVE THE HOUSE AND GO AND LIVE WITH HER SISTER

I had an argument with my mother today. So it started off with me wanting to Skype with my friend. I excused myself to go Skype in my room. She didn't allow me to, she told me to Skype next to her - and I got angry (i must admit i gave her a resting b*tchface look), i want privacy skyping to my friend. SO she told me to hug her first (weird), and i did but then I told her she smelled strange (she often does, since she likes cooking strong flavoured dishes and layers too much fragrance) and she doesn't admit it and she got furious. Now she's saying that I will never be successful and i'll be an ****** like my dad, even though I think my dad is very successful - he paid for my school which is one of the top expensive international schools in Bangkok (please, cheer me up here, make me know that I can succeed). She has 50 acres of land and she won't give it to me now. She says I'm not her child anymore. She says I shouldn't be born at all. She then became sarcastic and didn't talk to me. I apologised. She thinks money is important and she says that I'll never be successful in life without her land. But I will be an astrophysicist. It's my dream. I will be rich and successful (I'm not showing off or anything here, just trying to vent things out and cheering myself up because I think I can, so I can). Help Please, I don't know what to do now. I'm confused with her irrational mind. Extra info: I'm 15, living in a family that parents are not divorced, but so apart - and I totally understand why my dad's quiet with my mom who's authoritarian and never understands a thing. My mom and I argue a lot. I'm introverted and she's the one disrespecting my privacy. I'm sick of her disrespecting my opinions I have had many thoughts of committing suicide or sell harm before, though I never did - since I'm determined becoming an Astrophysicist. My friend is coming over this Wednesday. (It's already Monday where I live), and now she says she's not gonna support me with anything. Now who's gonna pick up my friend? Who's gonna cook for us? (We're like... two girls who suck at cooking) Help please. Please cheer me up. Please help me solve this. My mother is unforgiving. She thinks that she should be respected because she is a mom, not because she is a GOOD mom. She doesn't like me arguing her or even giving my opinions, unlike my dad. Please don't say let me move with my dad, etc... its gonna make it a hell lot worse. Also, my grandma (who died already) would be very sad if my mother sold the land. Please, help me stop her from this. I don't want to disappoint my Grandma and Grandpa (my grandpa is very luckily still alive). I'm literally dying on the inside. I have no one to talk to, except this anonymous society. Thank you for helping me cope with things. Thank you for encouraging me not to kill myself and achieve my goals. Oh I forgot to tell, I live in Thailand, and also, my grandparents gave the land to my mom... so ... yeah (and the laws are different too)

My daughter's father is now starting to get in her life and has been doing so with much hassle on my end. My current husband and I have been raising her. My daughter now is seeing a therapist because now that she has started seeing her biological father she has been acting out behavioral wise that is now affecting her education. He keeps telling me he is going to take me to court because my family wants to move to New Mexico and he says it's not the best interest in the child. He also says that he can get full custody because she doesn't have her own room in our home that she has to share with her brother. Will the judge actually take his side on this just because he doesn't want us to move, but has no valid evidence that it's not in her best interest?

My sister has recently started uni (away from home) she is 18. I think she has got in with a bad crowd. I saw some messages on her Facebook on the family iPad (private ones) and in the conversation one boy said do you want to meet up and get high tonight? And she said I start lectures at 9 tomorrow he said get high early and sleep it off . I don t know what I think about these messages, she hasn t admitted to doing drugs but for them to be talking about it I guess she has? We re not that close as sisters where we can talk, she doesn t listen to anyone. She has been known to make bad decisions in the past (sleeping with a 30 year old) and my parents found out and were so close to deferring her uni because they did not feel she was mature enough to make the right choices. I am 19, but have never hung round with people who do this sort of thing, is it normal , a rite of passage? I m so confused. Please help I am concerned for her welfare.

Hello so I dislike going to school because I feel worried for my dog when I'm there because a family member of mine hates her and I'm scared that they will hurt her. They always yell at her when she barks and have threaten to kill her before. I also don't like going because I get stressed out cause I'm not doing to well. I do not like telling the counselor at my school my problems because I'm not good at telling other people. I tried talking to my mom about it but I don't know she doesn't seem to care. Earlier when I was getting ready for school I was scared for my dog again and I was crying and screaming and was calling my mom and she just kept telling me that she was going to call the school on me and that they were going to come pick me up. I kept on begging her to listen and to understand and she told me "understand what? That you hate school? MOSTLY EVERYONE HATES SCHOOL" and I kept trying to tell her how I felt but she just got mad and hung up on me I haven't gone yet I texted her how I felt and how worried I was and I'm waiting for her to answer. Please help me I don't know what to do anymore. Also I'm a 13 year old girl if that helps. And I can't talk to anyone else because they are all mad I'm waiting for my grandma to come home tho so I can tell her but for now what should I do?!? Thank you for taking your time to read this and helping I'm sorry for making it long.

I m 17 have a 3 month old living with my mom & I really wanna move out I m with the Childs father his very supportive he buys the baby everything she needs but my mom will not let me leave !

My mom doesn't think being sick is a valid excuse for missing school and then getting bad grades. The thing is I'm at school from 7am-9pm every day because I have sports and then I'm in the musical for the school. I have so much on my plate because I'm drowning in homework. I don't get any time for myself. I don't get any playing time on the court for some reason even though I'm a senior. I was promised the lead in our musical this year but didn't get it. (You may think it's because I'm not good and I don't want to sound full of myself but I'm pretty good at singing and acting, both my older siblings got the lead their senior year) I just feel jipped on my senior year and NEED A BREAK! I'm so tired all of the time, I go to bed around 11 or 10, I've even started going to bed at 9:30 as soon as I get home to see if it would help. Oh and I'm also pregnant and can't talk to anyone about it because my parents don't want my kicked out of anything( and yes I've accepted it, don't answer if it offends you and your answer is only hurtful because I'm aware it's not good.) I just don't know what to do because I'm so stressed and alone and falling behind on my life! I get so tired and just want to stop everything to take a break. My parents are aware of my pregnancy, they are being supportive! Thanks though We are planning to talk to a counselor to see if we can't possibly get me changed to an online school system next semester and then graduate from my school. My parents just really want to see me do these activities while I still have the chance to do them, and yes it's wearing me down a lot! I feel like it's the least I can do though because of how supportive they are. I just don't know where to put all my stress and weariness about it.

so im a 24 yr old girl, and i just moved back home from finishing uni overseas. of course with all this cyber dating and all the apps available i couldn t but follow the trend of sexting. nothing like this has ever happened before. so what has happened was i had bought a new sd card. and i can t remember if i set the setting to save the new photos i take and save in on the sd or not. so my dad has been wanting to get one and he asked if he can just have mine and reimbursed me for it. only having mine for a week i let him have it without a thought. since i thought i don t have anything important saved on there anyway. and now a few months later, god knows why my mum was going through dads phone and in his gallery there were my boob photos. my dad was more curious of how it actually got on his phone, and he didn t comment on the actual act of me taking nudes. what im worried about is my mum. please give me advice on how i should handle this???

My mom hated when I stayed home from school for being regular sick. I haven't had any morning sickness (Which I heard is really lucky) but instead I'm tired and dizzy and have a really hard time getting out of bed because my head hurts so much. I've been doing my best but on top of waking up at 6:30 for school, no one knows I'm pregnant so I'm still in volleyball and our school musical. Which keeps me at school on my feet from 7am-9pm and I'm just exhausted. I have no one but my boyfriend to talk about being tired and unmotivated to, but he graduated last year so I'm on my own at school. I'm sick of running so much that I almost pass out, I know working out is good but we're running 300's and stadium laps, and sprints every day, and then we have sports training during the day which is heavy weight lifting and hard workouts. I've been trying to keep up with everything but I just need a break. I tell my mom this and she doesn't care because she doesn't think being tired is a valid reason to stay home. My dad would let me, he's been taking it easy on me as much as he can but my mom basically wears the pants because she won't let me quit volleyball or the musical (Which I didn't even want to start because we knew of my condition before it started) of course I have no choice in the matter though. I have games on Saturday's so I'm up by 7 and I have church on Sunday's so I'm up by 8 which is a little better, but I don't have any time to recharge. What do I do?? Also I forgot to mention it's hard for me to even sleep at night because I keep waking up at least 3 times having to go to the bathroom. Usually keeps me up for half an hour >.< Thank you in advance for anyone who has ideas on what to do here. Because I'm completely lost. And yeah I'm pregnant I've accepted it. Can we please skip the whole bashing on me for making a bad life choice please I'm too tired to deal with it. My parents know I'm pregnant but thank you for the concern :) we've gone through planning what to do about it. And I just started going to church this year because it's been helping me. and for your sake, stay a virgin because it's not worth it until marriage. There was protection, it just happened. Very unexpected and uninvited actually, but the baby is a blessing that I'm happy to have and make the best of. I do plan to tell people, people are going to know. But I can't until later because of all the things I'm being forced to stay in. It's the least I can do to stay because their paying for the delivery of my baby and taking care of me.

She was very angry at me, came to my room and beat me. I pushed her to the wall and then she told me how that was wrong. She said her father used to beat her up in Somalia. I said this isn't Somalia. I pointed out how wrong it is for a parent to beat up their child. She beat me again. I pushed her to the door and she fell on the floor. I told her to leave and she said no. I didn't push her out though. She kept telling me to sit down. After about 10 minutes she began asking me what I wanted. I said I wanted to move out. Then she started promising me the Chromebook I've been wanting for years, and also to never beat me again. Now I feel wierd. I acted out in anger but I wasn't going to stand there and take a beating and cry about it. I'm 15 for God's sake. I'm almost a man, am I supposed to stand there while she hits me? Then again, it ended oddly fine. She realy doesn't want me moving out so much that she promised me a few fancy things. Which never happens. What am I supposed to do now? I geuss she knows I'm too old for her games. But I can see how this is mental mindf*ck. She beat me up and expects me to forgive her just because she will buy me a stupid chromebook. I realy do want it, but I bet she'll either end up doing this again or not buying me a chromebook. I feel like this is all an attempt to shut me up.

My mother has extremely limited use of 1 arm and both legs from illness. She was never in good health all of her life but has driven in the past. She is in her 70s, has let her license lapse and wants to start driving again. She was denied once by the DMV because being in a wheelchair. Note: I'm not against people in wheelchairs driving. I know people who do. Many disabled individuals are very safe drivers. However, I worry she wont be able to drive safely as she can barely walk as it is.

My girlfriend lives an 90 minutes away. She has a nice house and there is no point for me to make her sell it. But I don't like the idea of driving back and forth all the time from my place to hers. We have been talking about me moving in. How do I explain this to my family? I have been living with my mom for the last almost 4 years because she can't afford living where she is on her own since she got divorced. The other day she did tell me she is afraid I'm going to tell her I'm moving one day.

I haven't been feeling too great lately and I have so many things spinning in my mind. I'm still 16 but I've been through a lot and it's starting to affect me pretty badly. It's been almost 6 years since I lost my mum and that pain won't ever go away. I live with my dad and two brothers and I'm studying as much as possible to do well in my life but often I feel really numb. I'm often really happy but I have moments when I struggle a lot and it's something I cannot control. We've recently just moved and I no longer have that closeness with my friends. Particularly all the girls I knew for most of my life.

I'll be getting nose piercing when I turn 16 but i would also like snakebites. My father absolutely hates face jewelry. Please don't say i'll buy it myself XD i am broke and am still looking for some part time work to do i'll probably start something next summer.

like if someone had an abusive parent, people will say "well, you should go and forgive them anyway." or if they had an absent parent then it's "you should really try and contact them". but why do people do this? or even the people who grew up with abusive parents say the same thing. a friend of mine says he wishes he'd stayed in contact with his dad, but his dad used to bruise him and drink and also scream @ him. what do all of these people want from their parents so much that they don't mind being abused? and why do other people encourage staying in contact with abusive parents? what does anyone get out of it?

Yesterday my mom and dad had an argument. My mom and I had gone to a rehearsal for a wedding and before we left she asked my dad to get a few things from the store while we were gone. When my mom and I had gotten back, she discovered that he didn't get the things she asked him to get and she was very upset which sparked an argument between her and my dad. I will be honest but, it seems like when my mom asks my dad to do something for her he is really reluctant. But it's like when other people ask him to stuff for them (for example, his mother, his sister, brothers, cousins, etc) then he jumps right up and has no problem at all when they ask him. It does upset me but I've never admitted it to him. What really made sad was when my mom said "there's a doctor at my job who has been trying to get with me" while they were arguing. This morning I asked her why she would even say that and she wouldn't say much about it at all! She said that she said it to basically tell my dad that he needs to straighten up or else but she seemed very suspicious about it and her other response was "nothing." It just seemed weird to me because when I asked her why her and my dad were arguing, she had no problem telling me on what it was about. But when I asked her about the guy at her job, she just got a little quiet and would not say much about it. I just kept thinking to myself, what if she cheats on my dad with that guy although I am trying to think positive instead of negative.

Turned into teenteen and gets pregnant by 17?

I am 22 (turning 23), I still live with my parents. She knows (met) my friends but she doesn't really like them that much because sometimes they drink (which I/we do together but never is excess- just how much any person my age would). My mom is like a cop, she always tried to turn me into the golden child. I always tell her when I go out and who I go out with. She knows I'm out with my friends but she ALWAYS gets mad if I come home the next day or later than I told her I would. I insist that I am 22, I can take care of myself, and I'm not a teen anymore. Also, I just got a job. I wouldn't move out already... It's my choice. Another thing that infuriates me is that she makes a scene EVERY TIME and calls everybody in our family (grandma, aunt to cry on their shoulder) to tell them that I am out again, but I rather this was my very own problem. How should I ask her to stop doing this? She doesn't understand. Then my siblings call me and ask me why I made my mom sad again- which I don't intend to, but I'm 22, I want to live my life and do my own schedule.

She is a good person overall. I've never had any arguments with her and I've known her even before I started my relationship with him. She's raised 3 children and I get it that it's stressful and maybe this is the reason why, throughout the years, she's developed paranoia. However, I have the feeling he listens to her a bit too much. For instance, we're going on a holiday next week and she told him that we shouldn't stay out late for too long, because we don't know the city. I didn't mention, but he's 27 years old and I'm 20. So, she shouldn't have ANY influence on our schedule. He did sound like he's joking when he told me what she said, but even if he doesn't take it seriously, I still am annoyed. My own mother doesn't butt in anything that's between me and him. There are many other similar examples for my future mother in law's behaviour and I don't now how to overcome this.

my mom is a school nurse so you'd think she'd be aware of how germs spread. she NEVER washes her hands after she goes to the bathroom, i don't know how often she washes her hands at school dealing with sick kids and god knows what. she doesn'y wash her hands before she makes dinner. i ask her to wash her hands and she doesn't even use soap. she always thinks it's really funny and i try to tell her that it's gross and she just laughs. i know you shouldn't overwash or over-sanitize your hands or you will become immune to the sanitizing and that your body should be exposed to some germs but you should still wash your hands sometimes! she always calls me a germophobe and i do appreciate cleanliness and organization more than some but i wouldn't go as far as calling myself a germophobe. it makes me want to make my own dinner because who knows what she touches all day without washing her hands before she makes dinner, it makes me try to avoid touching her. she showers enough but not wash her hands. i can only imagine what she touches as a school nurse all day. she is my mom and i love her and i want to hug her and touch her but sometimes i can't help but be grossed out by this. she always just thinks it's funny. she never listens to me. is this an actual problem or am i blowing it out of proportion? if it is a problem, how can i fix it? can you please just give me advice?

Growing up I didn't have my parents I never met my mother she left me at a young age. I know my father but we barely talk. He wasn't there etheir growing up he was always locked up. Or out doing drugs constantly. Anyways my grandma raised me and I thank her everyday. But when I turned 17 this year everything hit me. Like my mother leaving me and my father not being there playing the dad role. It's like everything has been ******* me up more day by day. Constant suicide thoughts this past month more than ever. They weren't there for anything my graduations my accomplishments. I cry every day cause it's like what am I doing here. Who am I doing this for, I just want my mother to love me. I wanna feel happiness and love so badly. I want my parents to be proud of me is that too much?

Im 26 I m a student but my life is far from a magazine or reality series one. I cannot pin point what it is that is making me so depressed. For starters I had everything, car, house, girl, career. bad choices with drugs made me lose everything I had worked for. I lost my girl (life hasn t been the same) I got laid off, got my car repo d. It s been a while now and drugs haven t been a part of my life for a while. Sometimes I wonder if the reason why I feel like this is because I m starting from the bottom again. I live back at moms with my brother, me and my mom have no relationship whatsoever we are always fighting and I hate it but she don t get it, she just thinks I m a screw up. My brother is an angry asshole who drinks alcohol and turns into cujo (for Pete s sake I m 26 and he will try to fight if it s 11pm and I walk by him just to get some water). My mind is always full of suicidal thoughts, i Once had so much pressure built that I put a .32cal to my head, now call it divine intervention if you would like but the thing jammed, I m still here because every time I ever contemplated again I simply think of that moment to when the trigger didn t do its job. Like I said I don t know why but I feel like its coming to an end soon.

I'm 18 and after a good while that I start working a full time job and save money I want to live in my own studio room. I'm already out of highschool but I have no privacy and don't have a room it's all cramped and my mom drives me insane the whole day she's really into fb and talks to me about that the whole day and just gets mad at me and doesn't give me privacy she just spends her days on the laptop this is no joke I'm so stressed out all she does is scold me and I'm not a bad child I'm always home and not crazy to go party n stuff

Hello. I'm 14, my sister is 12. Our living arrangement is weird. My mom initially had custody, but The ***** forgot us at Walmart for 6 hours, did crack, was a hooker, and her clients used to touch us. We went to our dad's custody. They found out kid porn on his computer, and it was an abusive environment in all forms, so yeah. We went to go live with my aunt. To start, she has a lot on her plate. My sister and I are both smart. We go to private school on an academic scholarship. But, I've had BAD drug problems, so bad I have to take meds to prevent seizures from the drugs. I've tried to kill myself 4x. I've been the juvie 3x. But I get high a lot. I've oded, and have had 4 suicide attempts. Last year I got pregnant. I miscarried. Adding to that, my ex was a local drug lord and threatened to firebomb us. My aunt is really good. But At 12 she took us to Vegas. She got pissed at us, and left us there. We live in El Paso. When my aunt found cocaine in my bathroom she threw me against the car window. It cracked. Then, I threw her on the ground, turns out we both got concussions from that, and I chipped a tooth. Sometimes my aunt kicks us out. Not trying to be a little ***** but this could kill us. At night in my neighborhood you don't stop at the stop signs, someone will jump in your window and try to kill you. After about a day or two we can come back to the house. When she gets mad she throws glass cups at us.

BUT instead i have this annoying brat of a younger brother.... btw I'm a girl ummm i want to have a hot brother so i can show him off to my friends....

I have a journal filled with stories about a fictional pedophile. It's not pornographic and it's written in a really goofy and silly way. The pedo is only attracted to childrens belly button and obsessed with having children eat candy out of his belly button. It's just dramtic in a weird goofy way with funny awkward situations with the pedo trying to get to childrens belly buttons. I was really curious about what my family would do with it if I were to die. A lot of people I talked to online about it said my family would probably throw out the journal because of what it's about, feel disappointed in me, feel embarassed by it if it was something they came across after I died. SO I added a little paragraph at the front of the journal saying that no one is allowed to trash it if I were to die and that I want to get the stories published. By the way I'm still very young and have no plans to die any time soon. It's just something I wondered about because I don't want people to throw out anything of mine that's important to me. Anyway, will putting my wishes in writing possibly make them hold onto it if they know that's what I would have wanted? Do you think they would try getting it published?

It is hard to find a job now, even I am taking my bach degree. I am a smart student and I had my scholarship. But, most of all they don't want to hire me. They prefer to hire people with no Diploma or Degree. Plus,my mum is a strict mum. She wants me to stay with her forever. I wish I could drive my own car. Tomorrow, I'm going to send my resume. I don't be like my mother. I don't know how to explain this. I'm sorry.

Should I always listen to my mum? When she is trying to control my life, including my future job? She wants me to work with her in doing all her business. I want to have my own life. How? I am 23, should I listen to her? I don't know what to do.

They ve had drug problems most of their life. They admit that they hate being sober. I ve walked in my house to find them nodding off while doing dishes. literallliterally half way in the sink asleep. They constantly blame it on menopause - being tired because they got no sleep the night before.. it s really hard watching someone i love out themselves through this. And its really straining our relationship. Because I personally can t look them in their eyes knowing they re under the influence of who knows what. Just wanted to know if anyone had any advice or is going through the same thing I am.

1. My dads in prison 2. My mom only calls when she needs something like money or for me to do something for her. 3. I'm only 17 and never had anyone in my corner I'm always sad and upset. Everyone thinks I should be doing more. I'm in college and I quit my job at cause they weren't giving me enough hours last month but I'm the bad person?

Every time I talk to him he tells me to go into the Navy or the Air force. He won't even listen to me when I try to talk to him about it anymore. He said he would not support me if I joined the Marine Corps. I told him I want to make a difference and serve my country and he completely blows me off like I don't know what I am talking about. I am supposed to take the ASVAB next week. Could I get some advice on what to do about my dad P.S If I join I wanna go into the 03 infantry field.

I turned 13 this year and so far it has been terrible. My grandfather has very bad Alzheimer s and I miss him and my father is going to put him in a elderly care facility which makes me sad because I know my grandpa would hate it there, he owns a farm and loves farming and if they take it away from him, he will be miserable. And the thought of him forgetting me makes me extremely sad because I have so many memories but they will all be forgotten. My grades are ok and my dad is going to take away my phone unless they get better but it s not my fault I m flunking in 1 class, my teacher won t let me present my project 😡. I only have 1 friend and she s not very trustworthy but shes all I have and she might move away and there is no one I have told most of my secrets to and she is my life but I can t tell her everything. I always have to keep things to myself because I end up hurting people. My mom and dad piss me off because they choose everything for my room, my dresser, my bed frame, everything and I tried to tell my mom and she got mad at me so I tried to apologize and she pushed me away so now I m crying and there s no one to talk to and I just want to vent to someone there you go.

But when it comes down to it he "has nowhere" to go. He has no family in the area. I don t want to see him homeless but I m at my breaking point. We have tried multiple resources to get him the help but nothing is working. Any advice? This pain is literally tearing me apart. He is stealing from my mom. Please help.

Me and my cousin are the same age. He would touch me and make me touch him from kindergarten to 3rd grade. I m being completely serious. My mom wasn t there nor was my dad. My grandpa tried to stop it but my grandma said he didn t know any better, which is true. I cried and told him to stop when he did it and he would hit me if I didn t do it. I told my counselor in 3rd grade and she made him move away to live with his mom but my grandma only lied so when a social worker would visit he would just leave. I don t know what it is, I still have horrible memories about it.

To elaborate, I m wanting to know if I can get custody of my niece because she is currently in danger and I feel she is unsafe. My niece just turned four and she is living with her mother in an abandoned house in Kansas. My niece is from California, where I live. Her mother took off with her to be with my niece s father, and to say the least, they re both felons. The local police in her area are aware, but nothing is getting done. California nor Kansas want to "own" the issue. Is there a chance I could get custody? If so, could I choose who I would like to share that custody with (i.e. her grandma, my mom)? Any advice is appreciated!

For years now my parents have had extremely bad arguments in front of me and my siblings. Some can get physical. It's mainly verbal and mental abuse. the only way they can talk is through text. I find that very immature. All they do is put each other down about money issues and their personalities. And they drag me and my siblings into every argument they have. My mom hates when I talk to my dad, she seems to smirk whenever i talk to him and needs to know what was exactly said. I've told them, MILLIONS OF TIMES, to divorce or see a counselor. Still nothing. Cops have already been called before, my mom wanted my dad arrested for.. Texting her too much? I don't understand how she could get him in trouble if she's replying back to him and feeding into it... Just very stupid drama that affects all of us. She even drags my grandma into things. I feel like they're going to both die at a young age cuz of their constant stress and arguing and negative energy, my mom had cancer a couple years ago, but thankfully it is now in remission... I feel this may trigger it to come back. My dad isn't very healthy, doesn't eat right or exercise. It's so stressful for me but I don't know what to do...

I am 20 years old and I am a female living with my mom in an apartment. I am a full time college student and have no time for a job which means I have no monthly income. I want to leave so badly but I can not seem to find a way out. I feel like I am stepping on eggshells living with her and I get so annoyed with her constantly telling me what to do. She is about the most rudist and selfish person I ever knew and she treats me pretty much like **** and she is always demanding me to respect her and pretty much treat her like royalty. I know she pays the bills in all but don't I deserve even the littlest smallest little speck of respect too for at least being a human being?

So this is a petty issue but I'd like to fix it if possible and I don't know how. My house has three cars and two spots for them in the garage. I'll turn 17 next week, I'm a senior in high school, and I drive to and from school every day, leaving at around 6:50 and arriving just after 7. I park outside. Tomorrow is going to be the coldest day of the year so far (below freezing), so I asked if I could move my car inside so it wouldn't be so cold when I get in tomorrow. My dad works from home and rarely drives anywhere, so I thought it was a reasonable request to ask if I could put his car outside. I guess I was wrong. They haven't given me any logical reason to stay outside, so I don't see why I shouldn't be able to park inside where it will be 30-40 degrees warmer. My heating doesn't even kick in until I'm really close to the school, and as far as I can tell, they will make me park outside year-round. I know that it's not a huge deal but there is literally no reason to keep it like this. I'm responsible and I've been working my butt off to keep my grades up in my AP classes and apply to college, so the least they could do is just let me park where I'd like to. Whenever I ask they either laugh in my face or yell at me. What can I do? I just want this tiny painless favor from them. In response to Gemma, I honestly don't have time for life lessons right now, and I don't think this is one anyways. This has no reasoning behind it, and I know the world is cruel but it doesn't mean they have to be. As far as I can see, the only lesson it could be is that I dont have the power to change anything, so I shouldn't bother trying. I think it is important for me to be able to stick up for myself, and not being able to do that in college will turn out badly.

when i get dances or vips sometimes i just can't get hard no matter how hot it is. i think this problem is linked to the same reason I have shy bladder and can't pee if someone's in the bathroom my penis is small when flacid, and i think they felt it but they probably thought i got a small one do you think this matters
