1. Mom most of the times my mom is nice however she has these episodes were she yells at me for every little thing and I cant take it anymore. Shes nice one the the next day she yells at me for doing something not to her liking like not cleaning something right away. 2. Dad- My dad is not a nice person extremely selfish and puts on an act to other people like hes a good person but hes not a good person to his family or his wife. My dad does nothing for me unless my mom yells at him to. My dad always yells at me for once again not cleaning up stuff right away. Im the type of person who cleans I just don't do it right away like ill relax then clean but my parents want to do it right away that's just not me. Also I cant to the episodes of my mom being nice one day then being angry one day I cant take my dad being mentally abusive to me I cant as soon as Im done with college im going to get a place on my own when I can afford it.

Question: Teens going to live with the other parent?? NEED HELP!!?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 01:10 PM PST

So i want to go live with my dad, i am 15 and have been living with my mom for all 15 years. My dad use to be an alcoholic but has no longer been drinking for about 5 years. Apparently my mom states she has police reports against him from his drinking. If we were to go to court would these "Reports" affect the judges decision since its nothing recent and if i have GOOD reasons on why i want to move and why it would be better for me? Its too much to go into detail but i do not have the best living situation with my mom and i am a lot happier where my dad is. I want to be a vet and if i lived with my dad i would be able to do 4H and work with animals but yet she says i would be moving to a dead end. I need help and advice!!!!!

Question: Explain to me why the following reasons would cause an Aunt to be bitter towards her nephew?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 12:25 PM PST

I'll list them for you and you tell me your opinion. 1. Her brother (nephews father) gives him everything he wants. 2. Brother owns a company and pays him more than her own husband. Who she feels works harder than her nephew. 3. Her brother (Nephews father) pays for a house that she wanted, and gives it to her nephew. 4. Aunt has a business that the nephew has mouthed off to her employees and told them to F themselves. 5. Aunts brother (nephews father) sends him to Arizona and buys him a house there for him to pursue modeling. Thoughts?

Question: I'm 14 and have issues with my dad.?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:56 AM PST

Ok so when I was 12/13 my mom gotten deployed to Kosovo because she is. Sergeant Major in the National Guard. Because of that I had to stay with my dad and his girlfriend. It was fine till we started getting into nasty fights. He took away everything and I was left with a mattress a bal let and a pile of clothes. He also took my door. Any time we would fight and I wouldn't apologize he wouldn't feed me till I did. He even said he hated me. I would call my mom in tears telling her everything. I was depressed I attempted suicide and started cuttings it wasn't cause we were fighting but because o felt he loved his girlfriend and his son more than to protect me. To her everything is my fault. Another time he slapped me so hard I had to stay home for 3 weeks. I ran away twice and eventually moved to my moms. I've been forced to see him after a year but I hate going to that house. It isn't the same. It makes me feel uncomfortable and homesick plus our relationship is destroyed I tried telling dad this many times that I don't like going up there and that if he wanted to see me to visit without his gf but like always he doesn't listen or care. I'm am scared to the point of tears of going back up there. How do I get this to stop?

Question: How can I get my sister to get her own life?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:56 AM PST

So I'm 16 and I have a twin sister and I think that pretty much sums up that we're always together, not because I want, I just don't have a choicr, we share the same room, same laptop and we go to the same school. Now, going to the same school means same friends, or atleast with our situation. I'm so mad. I just want to have my own life. You might say I'm selfish for saying that, and maybe you're right but I'm a teenager and trying to find my identity and figure things out. I need independence. And I can never get those with her around. whenever I make new friends, and i feel bad for using that term, she sticks her nose into it and introduces herself and wants to be friends with them as well. I've never had a best friend, and i was really excited since I've joined a new school and I met a girl I really get along with, but she always stands in the way. Wherever we (me and my friend) go, or when we're doing silly stuff like spamming each other on facebook and taking crazy pictures, she always wants to join us and do the same. Also, when I want to go out with friends, I never have to like, ask her or invite her or something, she just invites herself without even asking or sayimg anything. She's just used to us going together everywhere, and I don't blame her for that, because we grew up doing that. But as I said, I'm undergoing changes, and honestly, I'm not doing so well for a couple of different reasons. I hope you guys can help me.

Question: How to convince my dad to let us move houses?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:48 AM PST

I really want to move houses and its making me so depressed. My mom recently passed away and I just hate living in our house without her, is there anyway I can convince my dad to let us move? I m so sad

Question: Is it wrong of me to feel jaded and hurt by my fiancée because she moved out to follow her dreams!?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:47 AM PST

My fiancée and I have been together for 7 years, since we were 18. I love her very much, and we have been through many ups and downs. She s been through a lot with my parents, especially my Mom. She s had nothing but issues with my family (some that I feel she over exaggerates on), and she wanted to move away from the area we grew up in. So we moved, and it seemed great at first to make a change, but then it all went downhill. She started having nervous breakdowns about work, and said she hated where we lived. Just a few weeks ago, she quit her job (which I supported her because I m making enough money to support our place and us, and I didn t want to see her so depressed and unhealthy). And then she started to want to take dance and music lessons on the other side of town that we used to live, 50 miles away. She said she can t drive back and forth. It was a shock to me, and while I tried to remain calm and supportive, I miss her very much and feel as though I m being forgotten about. I can t help but feel like she s only worrying about herself while I work my *** off and come home to an empty house and an empty life. I don t know anyone here and my family is on the other side of town. Also she got another job, for a lot less money, and I never made her feel bad about it. But she will not help me pay for anything. My question is, am I wrong to feel so hurt and disregarded? Or am I just being a baby about everything? Thanks for reading this

Question: What is the purpose of getting a DNA test if the husband IS the father?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:39 AM PST

My husband told his brother that his and his wife's daughter wasn't his because she is a girl. He told him that she cheated on him with their cousin and that the baby isn't his. Well i know my cousin more than anyone else.. we are sisters in law after all and love each other very much. I also know that she would never be capable of doing anything like that to her husband. I also told my husband to stay out of their relationship. If his mother wasn't trying to interrupt their marriage, nothing gives him the right to do it either. Their mother is the nicest ever and she's sweet and my cousin and I love her so much. My cousin was angry at my husband for spreading lies and in front of us called their cousin to come over. I could easily tell that the guy was telling the truth. Plus, us four live together and we are both stay at home moms. We go out together and I know that if I would have seen something I would've told her to stop. But like I said, she's not like that. She would never. Now, she got angry because my husband told his mom that the baby isn't his brother's and my cousin ordered a DNA test and made my husband pay for it. And I don't know if it's a harsh thing to do but his birthday is coming up and she's going to pull itbup in front of everyone to embarrass him. I really don't care because it's not my problem but he shouldn't have started to say that in the first place. Is it really necessary for her to get a DNA test done? I believe her! And her husband does also.. People.. I meant HER husband believes her that the child is his. I mean she looks exactly like him. Why wouldn't she be? She had his nose his eyes and his mouth.. DUHH!! Parke thanks so much! It seems like you and another person understood what I'm saying

Question: My sister flashed me O_O Why? Why would she do that? What do I do?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:35 AM PST

My sister & I kinda fight sometimes. So she was acting stupid and had my new video-game. So i was chasing her all around the house trying to get it. Then we got to her room. She was just laughing the whole time, but I was serious. So we were rolling on the ground together and stuff. I was like,"Idiot, u are gunna scratch the disk!" Then we got up. Then I was like,"WTF? give me the game and stop acting like a retard." She just keeps laughing, and says,"LOL! Is the nerd mad?" I said,"No, just give me the game." So then I tried to grab it, cuz she had it in her shirt, but she kept moving." She was like,"LOL! The game isn't in my shirt u idiot." I said,"yes it is! Just give it!" She said, "No, its really not." Then she lifted up her shirt and she wasnt even wearing a bra O_O She exposed her chest literally right in front me. Why? Then she was all like,"LOL! That shut you up. Did cat get your tongue? Never seen t*ts in real life before, have you?" I was too shocked to say anything ATM, i just mumbled nervously a little bit. Then she put her shirt back down and got my game from under her bed and gave it to me. I just walked out her room awkwardly. Um, why would she do that? Like seriously, what was the point of flashing me? I feel so awkward around her now, I cant even talk to her anymore? She was even like,"Why are you so quiet around me now? I was just kidding when I lifted up my shirt." Um? Is this normal behavior for a sister? What do I do? I am 15, she is 14. I am a male.

Question: Why do they hate me? Advice?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:29 AM PST

As long as I can remember my dad & his family have always been tough on me, my sister, & now my mom. My dad's own brother use to always blame for everything my cousin would break or do, they'd hit me & he even had the nerve to tell my day "just watch she's going to get pregnant at 16 & say 'oh dad it's not my fault'" my dad was mad but never defended me. My dads sisters have always left me & my sister out, made us feel so crappy & became even more upset when my grandparents (RIP) gave us attention more than the other grandkids. One of his sister just last month said I should be alone, & was mad because my cousins would always hug me & want to be with me. I have 2 younger brothers, lucky for them they get treated well, which I'm happy about. Than theres my dad, I love him, & Would Do Anything For HIM But I don't understand what i ever did wrong for him to hit me & accuse me constantly, & not my sister. He always said I'd be the stupid one to get tattoos go into drugs, etc. But with my sister he doesn't say anything, yet she's the one that did all he'd say I'd do. I just turned 20 & he's still so rude & has hit me, saying "I'm your dad I can hit you!" Just last month. I really want this to stop... please any advice or help?

Question: My daughter is so attached to her stepmom, my wife?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 11:23 AM PST

My ex and I had a daughter (she'll be two this month) but broke up and I moved on and married my wife. She's a wonderful stepmother and person in general. My ex was spiteful of me moving on, and kept our daughter from me until I could get a lawyer and court date. My wife and I started getting my daughter and she was shy around my wife at first, and now, I swear, she's more attached to her than she is me! I try to kiss my daughter and she hits me and pushes me away. When I get up to change her diaper, she runs to my wife and climbs up in her lap and buries her little face into my wife's shirt. She always grabs my wife by the hand and pulls her into the other room. I go to get her and bring her back with me after a while, and when I walk into the room, she starts reaching for my wife to pick her up. She is constantly attached to my wife. She wants her to hold her, she wants to sit on her lap. She loves her. I'm glad my wife is so good with her, and they love each other, but I get sad sometimes because I think she doesn't love me as much as my wife. I asked my daughter if she was daddy's girl or my wife's girl and she ran over to my wife. Why do you think she favors my wife over me? I know she loves me, too, but she's just so attached to my wife. How can I bond with her more and make her a daddy's girl?

Question: SingleMom/Sick Child, Stressed?

I don't have anyone to turn to, my family makes fun cuz im on assistance but they're not single parents! I'm enrolled in college and job hunting so its not like im proud to be poor! My dumb brother is in the military but still picks on me likw hes 5. I just so want to cut these people out of my life! I cant allow them to bad mouth me in front of my son!

Question: Ideas to honor deceased family member this Christmas?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:36 AM PST

We have an extremely closeknit family; getting together once a week, every holiday together, vacations, etc. My grandmother was an amazing woman, the matriarch of our family, and hands down, one of the most extronidary humans She passed away a few months ago of cancer and this will be our first Christmas without her. In my 31 years of living, I never missed a Cjrostmas Eve at her house. It is where we all gathered and she always made it so special. This year I want to do something special as a family to honor her (excluding planting a tree and balloon/lantern releases). Please send all ideas. Thank you!

Question: What should I do?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:36 AM PST

My parents have been divorced for a while and now my dad is trying to emancipate me to stop paying child support. My mom is fighting it in court. My dad is an ahole but my brother and I still do holiday stuff with him and enjoy his company. We live with our mom and she supports us. She's alright. She asked me to reach our to my two co-workers, who were also once my teachers, for a letter explaining why it's important to focus more on my career etc... I didn't really feel comfortable doing this because i'd be putting them in the position to shoot a guy who they'd never met down in court, but I did it anyway. I sent them an email because I wont be in the office for a while. They both immediately agreed and one of them was sympathetic for me. They haven't replied with letters and it doesn't look like they're going to. My mom wants me to send a follow up email. I feel like my two co-workers don't feel comfortable either (I wouldn't), so i'm even more uncomfortable now about asking again. Plus, i'd hear about it nonstop from my dad. This topic already comes up much of the time. But my mom has pretty much paid for everything in our lives; college, cars.. with the help of child support, of course. And money has been tight not infrequently. I feel like I owe her a favor for all that she does for us. ---- The thing is - I'm pretty sure that asking for this letter crosses some sort of line. Am I right in thinking that? Other thoughts are welcome too. I can take the heat from my parents. I would side with my mom if I had the choice. I'm mostly concerned with the decision of putting my coworkers in that position because I feel like I shouldn't be bringing them into it.

Question: I walked in on my grandparents doing something weird, please help??

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:32 AM PST

I was staying at my grandparents' house for a week and was playing Webkinz on my computer when I heard some screams from the other room. I got really scared so I took out their home phone to cal 911 and went to their room. I walked in and it was really dark. I heard my grandma scream and when I turned the lights on they were tumbling off the bed... NAKED! I ran out crying because I had accidentally taken a glance at my grandpa's special parts and was very confused. I am now ready to call 911 because I'm really scared but I thought I would come on here first. Please help?????

Question: How fast do you have to grow up?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:29 AM PST

I'm 18, but I don't feel like an adult. I don't look like one either. I really haven't changed since I was 14 and in fact my best friend is only 15. I also don't feel mature emotionally. I think everyone matures differently but my grandmother started treating me like an adult the minute I turned 18. It kind of makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes.

Question: Am I wrong for hating and ignoring my dad?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:26 AM PST

My dad is a criminal, has only completed school up until 8th grade, insults my mom a I, severely abused my mom for years, and has no desire to try to find a job... (He's 50, 60 something years old...) he calls me a lot, but ignore him. He stalks my mom and I, and shows up to my school to pull me out of class unannounced so he can talk to me. Am I wrong for ignoring him? I hate him

Question: How to deal: mother is very negative and always wasting my time by giving me a lot of very basic advice which I quite obviously do not need?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:19 AM PST

- and which she would know I do not need if she stopped and thought about it for 2 seconds before opening her mouth. Her bossiness and controlling ways have basically ruined our relationship and made me never want to spend time with her or keep in contact with her. I know she's getting older and is lonely because she always ruins her relationships with pretty much everyone by acting this way. I feel like this should be very basic for her to see these negative patterns and I've told her repeatedly that they drive me crazy but she won't stop. Any ideas about what to do about this? I wish we could have a good relationship but it's impossible when she is so overbearing and disrespectful this way. She's also extremely nosy which I think is the byproduct of her loneliness... And if she gets info she needs she can be very manipulating "behind the scenes". Leaving me wondering why a relationship failed and then years later I find out her secret interferences killed it. "mothers are mothers" hell no she's toxic... people say that until they meet her then they're like "wow... can't believe you still stay in touch with her"

Question: Being A Grandma A Favor?!?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 10:18 AM PST

I have a 3 year old and my mom always feels like whatever she does for him is a favor! Shes the only granparent he has and sometimes i need the break but this causes many more arguments between us! Yes she does a lot when we come over but its not like its an everyday thing! She claims shes old and no longer has patience for kids, but i think when it comes down to its just her menopause driving her crazy btw shes only 54 and on menopause (God help me)

Question: Is something mentally wrong with my mother?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 09:55 AM PST

She never will one day admit she was wrong and apologize, she jumps to conclusions and is very loud and agressive. I go to school and sometimes I don't have time to do certain things like laundry. This is sort of embarrassing but a couple times she took my underwear and threw it in the yard. And I was only 15 at the time. She yells about our issues and says nasty things to me and the entire neighborhood can hear her. If I go out with my friends she calls her family members and complain about me going out. before I go out with my friends she has a problem and always have something negative to say EVERYTIME. I just feel like not going anywhere. She has apartments and two of her tenants had a misunderstanding. I tried to tell her that she should listen to the both of them because apparently she is taking sides with the one that started it. And she's angry at me because I tried to tell her that she shouldn't take sides. Hasn't spoken to me since yesterday and everytime I try talking to her she gets really loud. Everyone complains about her to me saying that she is short tempered and that she likes a lot of confusion. I'm 18 years old and this bothers me. Believe me everyone knows she's a difficult person and I wish there was something I can do. I love her a lot and I know single parenting can be hard but I can't handle when she gets defensive if I try saying something. I'll be so calm when approaching her and she turns it into an argument and gets loud.

Question: I am in a depressive situation?

Question: FAMILY BADMOUTHING ME?!?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 09:22 AM PST

PLEASE READ ALL: Why is my family ALWAYS badmouthing me?! Im not a bad person just a single mom 27 of a toddler boy. Im trying to mend my life and make it better so sadly yes im on assistance but not proud! Im enrolled in college and will be job searching. It is hard cuz i have no help from my ex or his family, and my son has special needs. (Exs family is dysfunctional and not an option for help) You would think I could go to my own family but nope!

I dont go out, dont do drugs, dont have friends, not much of a life. The only thing i do is watch tv on my phone. They considerd that bad mothering. I always take care of my son or maybe they think a ghost does it? Id love to uproot me and my son and leave this all behind! What do u think?

Question: I need ideas for a girls day with my big sister on a Saturday. I want it to be a bonding day for us.?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 09:06 AM PST

I'm 16 and my sis is 26 turning 27. I want it to be sometime unique. Nothing like the movies because I want us to actually talk.

Question: Couldn't sleep, I spent the whole night crying. What about the children? How do we protect them? They are our most precious resource.?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 09:01 AM PST

I'm scared for the children. They are exposed to so much terrible things. Child abuse, rapers, and the gangsta rappers. :-( How do we protect them? They are the future.

Question: Child talks horribly about her new stepmom, what can I do?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 08:52 AM PST

Her stepmom has been in her life for 3 years. However, she has now started making rules. Her biological dad has no real rules when she is around and is actually the opposite (candy for dinner, up all night). When she comes home, I don't really get quality time with her because the first hour is about how much she "hates" her stepmom. Her rules are not unreasonable. I have told my child this. Her replies are: She "hates her anyway". She "Is just so stupid". "Why can't you do anything about her rules.". I tell her she needs to respect adults but she continues on complaining. I do listen, as I know she feels alone but I really can't take much more as the stepmom is not in contact with me and doesn't want to talk to me about this. Thoughts? I am the custodial, biological mother.

Question: Is it weird to say "I love you" to your brother?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 08:19 AM PST

I know this is a strange question. I m a 19 year old girl and my brother is 20. I ve never said I love you him (maybe when we were little). Obviously, it s not in a creepy way, but I just can t see myself ever saying it to him. We re kinda close (but we don t live in the same house anymore). Would it be strange to hear siblings (opposite genders, more-so) say "I love you" to each other?

Question: How do some people get straight A's in college while being a parent and working full time?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 08:16 AM PST

For instance, my brother in law has 2 kids, works full time and goes to college full time with 5-6 courses each semester and he's on the freaking honor roll list, yet I only work full time and can barely manage 3 classes and barely passing! How is this possible? How does he succeed even with all that on his plate?

Question: Can my sister keep my stuff?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 07:54 AM PST

My boyfriend and i rented a room from my sister for a two months and a week because we were having trouble getting up onto our feet. When we first moved in we were under the impression we were only going to be paying for our food. However, a week into moving there they decided to charge us $200. ok no big deal. Then they decided we used too much water washing clothes and our car so then decided we had to go to a laundry mat and a self serve car wash and raised the rent to 250. Again this is no big deal. However, my boyfriend and i decided we wanted to leave due to some arguments and stress levels rising through the roof. We moved in on August 25; paid a 110 dish bill and $100 in cash in september; and paid $250 cash in october. Our rent was supposedly due November 10 but we wanted to move out early... my sister is keeping our stuff hostage until we pay for a month we wont even be there. I told her i would pay her on the 10 we just wouldnt be there but she still refuses. Is this even legal?

Question: Why do they do this?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 07:53 AM PST

Why would a family member only talk to one sibling and ignore the other on Facebook ? My sister only talks to my brother and never me , we get along pretty good but she just won't talk to me on there , idk but she does my brother

Question: What are first cousins once removed?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 07:48 AM PST

Does that mean you are related by a marriage or are they divorced so you are removed??

Question: Are foster homes really bad?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 07:48 AM PST

My family is really messed uo and I'm so sick and tired of their abusive words. They treat me like crap and make me hate myself even more. They said they were gonna put me in a foster home, and I was like "finally so I can get away from you guys". My dad is an alcoholic and he spends his money on mostly cigarettes and alcohol. He's also abusive and beated me so badly that I wanted to scream. He also abused my sister. My grandmother is depressed and is dying; so she really mean to me and every time I ask her for help about my depression she snaps at me and says "well I am too!!" My siblings are mean to me. They call me retarded, and one of my cousins even told me to kill myself. — and my grandfather is the worst. He singles just ME out on everything and said he didn't care about me but everyone else. I'm so fûcking fed up. Yeah, I live in a nice "home" but there is no love and I feel really alone. So are foster homes teally that bad? Because I'm thinking about letting everything out and getting sent there — but I'm worried for my little sister...

Question: Can my parents be arrested?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 07:00 AM PST

They like to put me down by using foul language. It gets so bad that sometimes I wish I was never born. They also like to smack me and leave bruises. I often feel myself being depressed and I am only 13. I get urges to run away and never come home. I don't even call it a home anymore. I call it a prison because they treat me like a slave and they give me no independence or privacy. In the end they apologize and make it seem like that they did nothing, and everyone believes it except for me.

Question: Should I as a Christian have to provide for my healthy able bodied mother who is 49 years old, but doesn't want to work?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 06:16 AM PST

She expects me to give her money for what she likes, Brazilian keratin treatments, false lashes etc. She doesn't want a "lowly" job work as a cashier for example. She has time for her friends but when I asked her to travel to me after my operation she didn't want to. It is all about her. Is it wrong as a Christian that I cut her off financially?

Question: Am I in the wrong?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 04:29 AM PST

My mom gave me a choice of not going to school. I'm not sure why but I assume it's because I don't have school tomorrow. Anyways I told her no because I want to learn. She said that was good but when I sat up I feel it all coming on and I truly didn't feel good. I wish I just said no. I went downstairs and sat for a moment but really I was just thinking about what to do until I got my mom over and talked about it. The only problem is I didn't go to school for 3 days and missed a lot of bell classes (about 2 times). I have to save it for you know when i'm actually sick sick. Because I never really feel 'good'. I went on about how she makes me feel bad for choosing what I though would be good (Staying home because I never ever get to sleep early enough and I feel sick also at this point my head hurt) She said she didn't make me feel bad so I just said no and she got real mad at me. Even though when I asked her/talked to her she said I had a choice. Now she's stomping around downstairs. And i'm writing this because I have no one to ask or talk to. Too late to go to school anyways :|

Question: Alternatives to backchat?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 01:42 AM PST

I have an unhealthy habit of back chatting to people. I'm a 28 year old male and I am married with two children. When someone gets angry at me or yells at me. i back chat to them. It makes me feel so childish and irresponsible. How can I avoid being like this. I can sometimes have a good sense of humor but I sometimes can't take a joke if I don't find anything funny about it for example I can't see the funny side of something serious like if I lose something and can't find it. Advice?

Question: How do I cope and communicate with my mother?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 12:24 AM PST

So, this last year my family has suffered a tremendous amount of loss. We unexpectedly lost my uncle, then lost both my grandparents in a car accident. It's been seriously hard to get past all of this but even harder for my mom. She lost her two brothers in a car accident when she was 17. So loosing her parents to the same cause has brought back memories and more grief. I understand she's upset and lonely. My grandparents had a HUGE role in my life. And now they are gone I'm in a loss too. But ever since, my mom and I just cannot connect. She and I are much the same in the aspect of needed our parents. She used to talk to her mom and I would normally talk to her. except my mom is too emotionally distraught to bear my emotions right now which I don't blame her for.... I called her the other day to talk about my car. (My step dad is fixing it so I cal sell it). All I wanted to know was how much they thought it was worth, so I can look for a new car. She freaked out on me because she thought I was mad because it's not finished yet. I'm not mad at all. In fact I didn't even bring up the mechanics of it other than asking what's wrong with it. Which any person would ask their mechanic..... Anyway, she got mad because I was "demanding" something from them when they are helping me and then blamed somehow we ended up talking about how her life is a mess and I'm being selfish. But the things she says to me are brutal. please help!!

Question: How can i tell my parents that i would like to stay with my mom?

Posted: 02 Nov 2015 12:01 AM PST

TL;DR my dad is a dick and i wanna live with my mom but im not sure how to explain it to them So. about 5 months ago, my parents got a divorce. This whole time my dad (and his girlfriend, which i found out he was having an affair with when my parents were still together) Have been terrible to me. Not buying food when me (and my 2 sisters) need it, not giving me gas money, not spending time with me or my sisters AT ALL.(also. He is not broke. In fact..He is rich. he makes more then $500 a day) Its just...Im not sure if i wanna live with him. I think that i want to live with my mom. She takes care of us, she gets us food, spends time with us and it seems like she really cares. (my mom gets about $11 an hour) im sorry. this is really long. Long story short, i wanna live with my mom, rather then spending a week at my dads, then a week at my moms. I just dont know what to do about it. My dad's gonna come up with something to make me stay, and idk what my mom will say. I forgot to say this before. They have not got all the paperwork done yet. I have no idea why. its been a while...But yeah.

Question: How can I tell off my brother's Girlfriend, for eating all the food in OUR fridge when she is over?

Posted: 01 Nov 2015 11:29 PM PST

When my Brother's girlfriend stays over, she eats a lot of the food in our fridge. We are a fixed income family living in a rough neighborhood, while her parents both work good paying jobs, and live in a new development home. I thought about calling her a pig/Fattie as she makes many trips to our fridge for food, but I am against fat shaming. I am looking for an other way to get her to stop doing this. Also she is not pregnant.

Question: Are all moms like this?

Posted: 01 Nov 2015 10:52 PM PST

My mom always seems to be angry about something. A little background: I'm a twenty year old woman living with my mom. I pay rent to her, buy my own food, and pay my phone bill. I also do the duties she asks me to do around the house. My mom has a history of depression and some of the people who know her describe her as hot tempered or angry. My mom will get angry over a lot of things. Some reasonable, some not. For example: her hairdresser messed up her haircut. Instead of telling him and asking to have it fixed/get her money back, she just walks around complaining to anyone who will listen how much she hates it and how she will never go back. Fair enough I guess. Anyway, she also gets mad at me a lot. Right now she's mad at me about something and is being very passive aggressive, but refuses to tell me what I did wrong or why she's mad at me. She also is rude to me when she's mad about something that has nothing to do with me. She's threatened to blow her head off when arguing with my grandma ad always says how much better my life would be if she was dead. Does anyone else's mom act like this? How do you cope?

Question: What should I do next?

Posted: 01 Nov 2015 10:51 PM PST

I ve been having trouble figuring this out. I ve graduated college and have moved around the country a bit (Texas, Tennessee, Wisconsin). I ve been to a couple of places but I find myself staying in a fairly remote area where there isn t much opportunity for employment that utilizes my degree. I m staying with family (my mom s cousin and I are very close, so he offered to let me stay with him), so that reduces costs a lot. Still, I m having trouble making progress financially between credit debt and student loans. I would consider trying to move to a more metropolitan area, but I think it would be hard on my cousin. He has advanced MS, and has a lot of trouble moving around, and my staying with him has been really good for him so far. So my question is this: what should my next step be? Anyhow, thanks for reading, and please offer any advice you can think of.

Question: I have 2 kids, partner unsure if he wants kids in his life?

Posted: 01 Nov 2015 10:26 PM PST

I have two kids aged 2 & 4, new partner unsure if hes ready for kids in his life, we have a really strong bond, and like each other alot, and are pretty well perfect for each other. Hes never had kids in his life, his older sister is married and not having kids. So the thought has never crossed his mind. What do we do, we are pretty confused

Question: I actually hate my dad. What do I do?

Posted: 01 Nov 2015 10:24 PM PST

This isn't some immature teenage rant. This is a serious concern. I'm 17 years old. My dad irritates me to no end. I understand that he is looking out for me, but he is a dislikable person. He is condescending to people who, in his mind, aren't "as successful" as he is. He asks the same question over and over until he hears the answer he wants to hear. He criticizes my dream of going to Penn State next year because of the Sandusky scandal- as if that has anything to do with Penn State's academic excellence. I'm also gay, and he says things along the lines of "I wish you'd been born straight." He is not anti-gay/homophobic, but he makes it seem like he wishes I were born differently. He is also a very boring person to talk to- he has nothing positive to say about anything. I know that my dad provides everything for me and pays/works hard for everything. However, this does not excuse him from being respectful of others, especially his own son. I respect him as much as possible, but I'm tired of having to grin and bear it. My question is: How do I put up with him/his personality?

Question: My father left me for 4 years?

Posted: 01 Nov 2015 10:14 PM PST

My father basically was a deadbeat for 4 years I only seen him every 6 months durning those years. he basically left me durning that period to party. He's came back and my mother and him have gotten back together. I lowkey can't stand him because, all he does is nag but he does so much like drops me off from school and gives me money when I need it I'm 17 and I just haven't forgiven him. I'm not trying to be a ***** about it too. how can I get over this I sometimes tell my friends but never my family. I just got beef
