And I know rs are hard to say so I really don t want to be Toe lol. Any ideas are appreciated! I m definitely all about unique!

Question: My mom is so controlling and I'm almost 20!!!!!!?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 01:00 PM PST

I'm almost 20 years old. I live with on my parents property but I live in my own separate house, which I pay for. My mother always tells me what to do. If I want to go out, she'll tell me no. She's making me go out of town with them and my younger siblings for 4 days. All my friends are in town and my boyfriend who I haven't seen in 4 months, and we've been catching up since he's been home. She told me I could stay and I made all these plans with him and my friends and now last minute she tells me I have to go?! I told her I'm an adult and I can do what I want. My mother has been like this since the day I was born. I want to do all of these things but she finds a reason to say no, Like if I want to go on a road trip with friends, she'll tell me no because I could get kidnapped,mugged,or raped. But then she contradicts herself when she says I have no street smart or common sense when it comes to real world things. NO DUH BECAUSE you don't let me get to experience it. My mom left home at 18 and traveled the world for a living. It's bull.

Question: Why did my dad do this!?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 12:52 PM PST

Im sick and I'm sleeping and he wakes me up and says I have to take out the trash and clean the kitchen and I feel horrible and he calls me lazy for saying I'm sick can I go back to bed and now I can't go back to bed! Also if he were sick and I woke him up saying take out the trash and clean the kitchen he would yell at me and I would be grounded...

Question: My mom is blaming me for my brother behavior?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 12:38 PM PST

I'm 26 and my mom blames me for stuff my 21 year old brother does. Apparently it's my fault he still lives at home with his girlfriend, it's my fault he won't do anything with his life and it's my fault he drinks and gets high. As if I was some terrible example. I've worked since I was 14 off and on, normal gaps in employment as a teen/young adult. I have some college under my belt. I don't live at home. I've been in a steady committed relationship for years now. I don't have any vices that hinder me from being productive. I've always been able to drink and smoke and be able to lead a productive life and never got caught up in either to the point I couldn't function. I rarely drink, I don't party, I don't go out. I smoke daily but I've been smoking for 5 years now and it helps after my car accident. I'm the most level headed one in my family. I have my life in order. What the hell is her problem? Apparently I guess she wants me to quit doing everything he struggles with. We're not the same person though and I shouldn't have to adjust my life because my adult brother has troubles adulting.

Question: How can I get out of my parents making me watch the president's State of the Union speech tonight?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 12:30 PM PST

They say I need to be informed but I really don't want to watch and listen to their criticizing Obama. I like Obama but they are staunch conservatives who say he does what Hitler did in Germany (I disagree with them).

Question: I caught my sister having sex with a friend. Should I tell my parents? She is over 18 but still lives at home?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 12:29 PM PST

Question: My brother hasn't spoken to the family for over 15 years, when my parents die should I include him in the obit?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 12:23 PM PST

He was last known to be living in Louisiana is all we know. It has been over 15 years and we gave up about 10 years ago on him and moved on. But, when my parents die (both are now in their late 80's and one is very ill) do we include the brother in the obit?

Question: Are you social with strangers?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 12:21 PM PST

For me it depends on what kind of setting I'm in. Running errands, doctors offices, grocery stores etc I'm very standoffish. Face in my phone, earbuds in, head down trying to get in and out as fast as possible. I hate the grocery store. It's always busy and annoying. If I am in a social situation where friends of friends I don't know are there I am social and stay off my phone unless we're having a great time and taking lots of photos or if we're talking about ourselves and I'm showing off my furbabies. I'm always nice and pay attention to the cashier or sales associates if they talk to me. I just hate when people start talking and it's like dude I have better things to do than stand on aisle 4 talking about your cats. It may not seem like I have anything else I could be doing but getting out of the grocery store faster so I can go about my day is one of them. Are you social out in public?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 11:49 AM PST

My sister is in her freshman year in high school and obviously she is going through that phase (boy crazy) and I only want the best for her but she is hanging out with the wrong crowd, guys way older than her, parties (not saying this is a bad thing, but they are drinking and she is only 15 and like that s not ok). I m just trying to look out for her but I m not sure what to do/say. P.S. I m 19 and my dad is in jail. So it s just me and my mom and her.

Question: Is it wrong to not want to be a part of your stepfamily?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 11:47 AM PST

My dad got married a year and a half ago. His wife has 6 kids. A daughter who's 4 months younger than me, 12 year old twin boys, a 9 year old boy, an 8 year old girl and a 6 year old girl. I also have a half sister who is 13 who hates my guts because her mom and I never got along (she and my dad had an affair and had my half sister, then when my mom died they moved in together and we had issues because she really didn't like my wanting to remember my mom). I also have a full brother who is a year younger than me. The thing about living with all these people is nobody gets along really. Well, my brother and I do, but we're not allowed to spend much time together because my dads wife doesn't agree with us remaining close and not bonding with her kids. Her oldest daughter bullied me for 7 years. She also bullied two other girls in our school. We had to change schools because we moved in August and now she's getting bullied by the cousin of one of the other girls she bullied. My dads wife is p*ssed I won't defend her or hang out with her. I'm almost always in trouble for cooking for my brother and me, but not for her and my dad or her kids, But the reason I don't is because she's always so ungrateful for everything I do. Her kids refuse to eat most things and have thrown food I've cooked for them over my head before (her oldest daughter actually threw soup in my face). And my dad eats out. Her kids are allowed to do whatever they like. They get away with abusing my brother and me. My half sister does the same to us because she blames us for breaking up her moms marriage to our dad. Dad will not tell her they didn't work out for other reasons, so he's happy to stand back and let her abuse us. She's slapped me on a few occasions. And yells in my face whenever I enter a room she's in. I hate it. I hate this whole "family" and my grandparents are already doing what they can to get custody of my brother and me.

Question: I found my mom's sex toy?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 11:39 AM PST

I'm young, but not very young (teenager). I was looking through my mom's bedside drawer for one out the big flashlights so I could take our dogs out, as it was snowy and dark. Whenever my family finds something and we don't ha e a place for it we shove it in a drawer and hope we don't need it. I remembered doing this with the flashlight. I know my mom is sexually active because our Kindle clouds are hooked so occasionally I see a naughty image but I just delete it from my device and go on with life. She's always been very open, teaching me everything about sex when I asked. When I looked in her drawer I saw something round wrapped up in a shirt. I wrote it off as something getting tangled together and opened it. All I saw was the top of an orange and purple penis shaped item. I quickly wrapped it back up and shoved it back in the drawer. telling her I hadn't found the flashlight and I was going to use my phone light. This was last night and I don't think she knows about it, but I just can't get the image from my head. I guess it's just a little strange to see my mom actually having a sexual item. It's one of the "see it an believe it" type things. I really don't want to confront her because I know she'll be mortified. I would hate to put her through that embarrassment. What do I do? Such inappropriate answers! I was searching for an item in the last place I remembered having it so no, I wasn't going through another person's stuff.

Question: Popular sister while I'm a loser?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 10:49 AM PST

I HATE my sister. I have 2 sisters, one oldest and one middle. My oldest is sooo nice she lets me borrow her stuff and shes really nice to me, we always hang out and do things together like were going to get our ears pierced together so we're like best friends I can talk to her about anything. Then theres my middle sister, the one who everyone LOVES and ADORES. She gets everything she wants and she always fights with me but especially my oldest sister cause my middle sister always gets what she wants while we don't. The funny thing is that she never goes to school and has failed almost all her subjects, all she cares about is fashion, friends and party. Also I think it's really funny how she's considered a goddess and everyone keep asking me about where she is e.t.c. They talk to me in a rude and disrespectful way but when my middle sister is around me in school it's like everyone is bowing down. The fact that she doesn't stand up for me in these kinds of situations (getting mocked) cause she's my older sister is just STUPID. She doesn't care about me obviously she cares more about her friends. Even her best friend is close to me and i've gotten a lot of people saying I look exactly like her best friends and asks if we're sisters. But I need tips for this all answers are appreciated!!!!! even MY friends tells her shes sooo beautiful every time they see her while im just a nobody. I hate it, im the nicest in our family still SHE gets what she wants, I dont fail my subjects and go to school EVERY SINGLE DAY even though I hate it I'm still trying my best.

Question: Is it okay for me to get an "average" high school job?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 10:23 AM PST

I am a 15 year old sophomore girl. My parents are a bit sheltering and have forced me to homeschool my whole life. My brother graduated high school early and has a well paying job teaching children to play musical instruments. I have average grades, not especially talented in sports or gifted musically. My mom recently told me I have to get a job soon. I think they expect me to get an amazing job like my 17 year old brother, but I don't think I could do anything like that. And frankly, I don't want to. I think I just want to get a job at the nearby boba place. Will my parents be disappointed if I just get an average job?

Question: My family is pissed because I'm distancing myself?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 10:21 AM PST

My family is filled with controlling people. My grandmother's mother lives with her and she tells my grandmother what she can and can't do and it's not even her home. My grandmother does it to my mom and all three generations try and control me. After a few issues around Christmas and the other day I've decided I'm done with the drama and I'm done with my family controlling me. All I hear all the time is what jobs I should or shouldn't get, what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life. It even goes as far as telling me what to do with my Facebook profile, telling me how to dress or look, telling me what I can or can't do. I shouldn't have my nose and lip piercing, I shouldn't have the tattoo I have, I shouldn't wear leggings as pants...I shouldn't do this or shouldn't do that. Of course I don't listen and I don't let myself be controlled. I'm 26. I'll dress and look however I want. I will make my own life choices. It's driving a major wedge between us all because I refuse to be controlled, I'm too old. Distancing myself is also driving a wedge between all of us. Instead of laying off and respecting me as an individual they rather play the victim. What do I do with these people?

Question: Help or I'll end up in jail?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 10:19 AM PST

My father is a drunkard and I really don't know what to do about it anymore, today he was like overdozed and he could barely stand on his feet. I lost control and punched him in the face in an instance, I really can't control myself when I'm nervous. He was drinking before but now when he lost his job, he's home every day whole day and all he does is drinking and psychologically torturing me, my sister and my mother. He doesn't have a certain problem that makes him drink, he does that because he doesn't cares about us. There's pretty much nothing we can do, in my country salaries are very low for my parents to divorce and we find ourselves house for rent where we can live in peace and institutions don't really give a **** about cases like this, to send him to some hospital or smth. My sister is a student and I can't find a job, I'm also still in high school (18 years).

Question: Our First Baby! What to do?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 10:06 AM PST

I'm having a huge dilemma! I'm 6 months pregnant with our first child. Now comes for the difficult decisions of what will happen after my maternity leave because I'm going to go back to work after my maternity leave. We live 45 min away from my mother and my thought was always to leave my baby with my mom, since she doesn't work. I feel she would be the best person to care for my baby being that she's my mother. My husband on the other hand wants to hire help that will stay at our house since we both work approx 10-15 min away from our house. When he brought the idea to me at first I told him I'd considerate, but as my due date approaches I can't wrap my mind around the idea of leaving my baby with a stranger. I need some thoughts to consider. Am I being too closed minded? Is driving 1 hr to and from every day to my mother's to take care of our baby extreme? Is thinking something will happen to our baby with a stranger being extreme? Will my mom get heart felt because she's not watching him? My mom already got excited about being able to watch him, play with him and care for him. She told me to move, but moving would require an additional expense that right now especially with the baby almost here is something were not ready to do. Also, our jobs are close to our home. I plan to put him in daycare once he can talk and tell me if something happens to him, but while he can't talk or take care of himself in any shape or form I don't know what to do…

Question: I don't want to live with In-Laws but I have no choice. Im pregnant, and parents kicking me out?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 09:48 AM PST

Im 25 working minimum wage just like my BF and we found out Im pregnant. My parents said if I keep the baby, I have to move out as they wont support the pregnancy. His parents support me and said I can move in with them, but the thing is Im comfortalbe in my parents house because I have my own room, own privacy, and Im starting school now this month. So this pregnancy has been something very unplanned. The little money I make is enough for my car insurance, gas, food, health insurance, phone, and personal stuff. If I move to my BF house, I have to live with his whole family which means I always have to be respectful and can't completely release my true self like you can in your own private home. I'll have to run in to people in the kitchen all the time, and use it for me or the baby, and its awckward running into his Mom there sometimes. Also my BF room is going to be crammed up once I move my stuff there, plus space for the crib. It's going to be uncomfortable going from the comfort of my own home, where I can act like myself around my parents, not caring who I run into in the kitchen because its just my parents, etc. What do I do??? My parents house is also very clean and my BF house ain't as clean. I just feel like my whole life is going to change now. And If I do have the baby, Im going to have to still go to school and work and be dead tired. Were thinking of abortion and then have it in 2-3 years when we move out together and have more money after I finish school. But also if we do abort, were afraid well regret this decision and wont be able to forgive ourselves. After all, its not the baibies fault we made poor choices. We dont want adoption period.

He said they had sex on new years eve, and kissed in front of us. My mom didn't want us to know and acted innocent. I am planning to tell my dad, am I doing the right thing? Oh, right now, she's most likely gone to his house and said to my dad that she's going to a relative's house. What should I do?

Question: How can you be 'upset' over the death of someone you've never met?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 08:54 AM PST

So at school there is a friend whos father died a few years ago when she was like 9 but she didn't know him and she acts like she was upset and wouldn't talk about it I have another friend who lost her father last year and she lived with him so she knew him and she speaks about it all the time I feel like she is the one that can be upset about her father dyying because she actually knew him. This other girl knew nothing about her father she does not even know any of her father side family so I think it's stupid and pathetic that she won't speak about it becuse she will be a cry baby.

Question: How do I explain my busy life to my sister-in-law?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 08:54 AM PST

My sister-in-law is married, but never had children. She lives about an hour's drive from my family. I have 4 children and with all the school functions, church functions, checking in on my parents and day to day life running, I don't get to see her that often. She is not speaking to me right now because she thinks I could just drop all this and me & the children spend more time with her. That would involve working around her and her husbands schedule, too. I'm stretched out and just can't seem top please everyone. How do I make peace with her?

Question: -- girls only -- totally crazy issue, at school?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 08:42 AM PST

My sister Amy whose 16 was in school last week. And a guy (17) went up and grabbed under her skirt, grasping her bum. He grabbed all around UNDER her underwear, & between her legs! (not his first assault too)! Amy turned round and kicked him hard, in the groin! She had heavy shoes on (like steel) as she's a goth. The guy fell down and cried. A teacher intervened. BOTH got suspended, but HE wouldn't return to school soon anyway, due to his injuries! Amy kicked him SO hard, with such hard shoes. Mainly at the base of his penis. He was too embarassed or macho to go right to the doctor, but he actually had a lot of damage to the tissue of his penis! By the time he went to the hospital it was too late, so he seriously had to have his entire penis removed!!! They re-routed his urethra so he could still pee (like a girl), but he lost his penis forever! Meaning no sex now! Despite this, the parents have actually managed to come to an agreement about this matter though, & police agreed not to get involved. But: 1. Do you think she did the right thing? 2. Are you happy or sad that he lost his penis (and WHY)? 3. Will he feel pleasure with girls now? Or ever "bust a nut"? 4. What do you think about him having to pee like a girl? And feel like one now!? 5. Amy's girl friends are gonna leave him an anonymous message (in his locker). What do you think they should write on it?... & what special "presents" should they leave him (since he's basically feminine down there now)? .

Question: My little bro caught me (older sister) masturbating?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 08:40 AM PST

...which is not a problem. Usually. But, considering my circumstances, I'm feeling very awkward. 1. I left when I was 14. So I was never caught. And I never caught my bro. 2. I am back for grad school. Meaning we are both in our mid-20s. 3. We never discuss these kinds of things (taboo). I don't even mention my relationships. He doesn't know any of my past bfs. I know that at the end of the day, I won't be able to do anything. I can't reverse it. But... any tip will help (like whether I should forget about it, etc.)! ...I've forgotten what it was like to have "family members" around me (sad)... and I am having a hard time adjusting. (Sorry if it is not in the correct category...!)

Question: I don t feel comfortable in my own home?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 08:36 AM PST

i use too love being home, felt comfortable in my own house, felt like i could talk to my parents about anything. i am 19 years old and lost my mother due to leukemia. after that everything changed, my dad is now in a long term relationship with this girl (who is now living in the house). i have lost all communication with my dad as his new girlfriend has him wiped. she is changing my whole house, goes into my room and closet. sometimes find things added to my room/ and or removed without my approval. cant say anything to my dad without worrying about what his gf has to say. His girlfriend has a 9 year old son. when you talk to his girlfriend she treats u like u are 9, and has to simplify everything to dumb it down... when in fact i dont need that i am majoring in biotechnology then molecular biology. clearly i know quiet a bit on microorganisms and there role in the body yet she feels the need to dumb that down to me, even though its my major. i want to move out but with school simply can not afford it, i have a part time job and get approxamitley 25 hours a weeks, but dont think i am financially ready to move out, what do i do? how do i stop feeling invisible and uncomfortable in my own home?

my 18 year old son finds it funny to tell people he's pregnant and he bought a fake baby scan photo online from that fake a baby website and he buys fake bumps. he even has fake baby dolls he pushes around in a pram. he doesn't have mental problems and says he finds it funny because it upsets people. it's causing problems in the family. it's extremely embarrassing and we have talked to him a thousand times (he's been at it since he was 14) and now he's at school and he's working he is doing it there and has been sent home a number of times. his mother and brother are getting extremely angry with him because he's now using the pregnant excuse to try to get out of doing stuff. We have sent him to doctors who said he's just at a funny age and that he's doing it for attention because it's provoking a reaction. what can we do to make him stop?

Question: My younger brother is trying to rush marriage at 18. How can I give him the best caring and respectful advice to wait?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 08:24 AM PST

My 18 year old brother and his 17 year old girlfriend have got engaged after only dating for 5 months. There both still in high school and he lives at her families house. We get along fine with them. My 2 older brothers won't say anything and neither will my mom or dad to his face. I think he's to young and rushing this way to fast. She moved here from out of state so they have only known each other for 5 months and lived together about 2 months. His relationships never really last that long. How do I give him loving and caring sister advice. I am 21.

Question: Should I visit my sister for a few days without my husband and while she's working?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:52 AM PST

My sisters baby is being baptised this weekend, she lives 5 hours away and I'm going. She asked if I would stay a few extra days with her since I'm already making the trip out there... even though she'll be working til 6pm every day and her baby will be at daycare, she says we can hangout at night, and her husband will be out of town for the week (maybe this is more the reason she wants me to stay). My husband is still undecided about going for just the weekend part- he thinks we can't afford it and his work means we couldn't get on the road til early sat morning and would have to leave Sunday night. If my husband doesn't come, I'd go on Friday early morning, giving me an extra day with my family, and then be able to stay with my sister a few extra days during the week too. But I also don't really want to sit at her house all day every day by myself while she's at work. I don't have extra money to go out touring the city and kinda lonely and overwhelming doing that on my own anyway, being that I'm not used to big cities, I don't even know how to use a cab, and I get lost easily. My husband doesn't want me to go by myself at all, mainly because I'm not used to big cities, but it's also a long time to spend apart, we are newlyweds and haven't spent more than a couple days apart, and very rarely. But I also feel guilty about saying no to my sister because she thinks I don't visit enough, but it's hard and we can't really afford it, but I'll already be there. What to do???

Question: My dad got my older brother a car. I'm really annoyed. Should I tell my dad to take the car back?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:36 AM PST

My little brother just turned 16 and for his birthday my dad got him a frickin' ESCALADE. I mean when I was 16 my dad didn't get me anything and instead forced me to get a job and support myself, and here he goes giving my brother Escalades and credit cards and letting him do whatever he wants. It's not fair that my dad made me work for everything and yet is spoon-feeding my brother with everything. An Escalade? I drive a used 1997 Honda Civic. ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.0 And btw he was always really well-off financially so this isn't something that happened recently, meaning that when I was 16 he could have done everything for me but he didn't. That's why I'm angry

Question: How to handle my mother's "secret" drinking?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:32 AM PST

I'm 29 and married my sister is 26 and married. My father is worried and so are we about our mother. She is 50. And gets so drunk at might she can't even get herself to bed! She does not drink at any other time. Even says she doesn't drink at all. But she is hiding bottles all over the house. And gets really mad if you try to talk to her about it. We are so worried because she does have high blood pressure and sometimes has chest pains. But will not go to the doctor. Dad even poured all of it out at one point but she got more a few says later and found a new hiding spot. I'm not sure got to deal with this. I don't want her to hate me but I don't want her to die in her sleep either. Please help!

Question: Does anyone else's partner refuse to have sex (intercourse) with you?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:23 AM PST

Weve been together for 7 months. We have never had intercourse, but I give him *******'s each day & night. He says he doesn't like it and prefers blowjobs.. I haven't experienced this before, so I'm trying to think what I'm doing wrong? Or are there guys that are more than happy with just blowjobs? I've just tried asking him why and he doesn't seem to care, and all he will just say "I just want a ******* more than sex"? He's not a virgin, hes 29, and is usually hard before I begin. There's usually nothing on in the background when I'm giving him a *******. He tends to *** pretty quickly. We kiss a lot, and hes given me oral around 4/5 times in the 7 months but that is it.

Question: Why is my mother not admitting shes in a bad mood?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:22 AM PST

She was fine the past few days, in a perfectly good mood. Today she started bitching at me at 5:00 AM to get up. She threw my laptop at me when I got up, then she told me my dog will never like me. I have an art project that needs to be finished and she insists the only place it is possible to complete it is in the kitchen. When I said I have a hard surface in my room, she started yelling and telling me I don't have an opinion and that it needs to be done in the kitchen. I'm going to go to the kitchen, but whats wrong with her?

Question: My sister and I got into a fist fight? Was I in the wrong?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:20 AM PST

My younger sister is 12 and I'm 18 but she's basically the same size as me and nearly as strong. So, it was late at night and I keep the hallway light on at night because the house becomes too dark, but she kept turning it off and yelling, "Stop being a ******* *****/baby, get over your ******* fear of the dark, and turn off the light! You're running up mom's electric bill!" But she stays upstairs to sleep so she isn't effected by the light, and I'm calm, IDC what she says because (being 12) she's still very immature, but then she starts getting too close to me and I'm asking her to back away but then she's like, "What? Are you going to hit me?" I say no and ask again but she still doesn't, instead she gets closer to my face and yells, "HIT ME! HIT ME!" And I hit her and a fight ensures. (I couldn't even close the door to my room because she'd bang on it and force it open) This isn't the first time we've fought but my mom always takes her side and says she'll put me in jail for abusing a minor. I have video proof this time and want to show Mom just b/c this was utter nonsense to deal with. I live with her and go to community college that's why I'm here. But should I tell my mom? And was I in the wrong? Those asterisks are f*****g b***h

Question: My parents are extreme liberals and are angry that I like a Republican, how do I get them to mind their own business?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:04 AM PST

They are mad because I met and kind of like Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio. My parents are staunch liberals and about as liberal as one comes. I lean Independent.

Question: Should a pregnant women be cleaning a messy house?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 06:52 AM PST

Occasionally, my mom pays me to clean her house. She is old/disabled but is a hoarder. I never got around to cleaning from the last time she paid me (she got sick and refused to let me come by + she didnt want my kids there when she cleaned). I am 9 months pregnant (due any week now) and she wants me to come clean today. Yesterday, I fell really bad at her house after tripping over her hoard. I luckily protected my abdomen with my knees, but now cant walk good. She insists its my responsibility to clean her house and I owe it to her. Is she right? My husband says she isnt.

Question: My sister gossips nonstop and I fear anything I say will be repeated, how do I get around this?

Question: Moving To NY?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 06:39 AM PST

My dad lives in NY and I live in FL with my mother. I want to move to my dads until summer or something around there. I don t want to leave my mom since I m the only child with her right now. What should I do?

Question: Will people judge me for my parents getting divorced? I am the only cousin with divorced parents on both sides of the family?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 06:37 AM PST

I have two siblings also and the three of us are the only ones. I fear I am thought of as less then or not as good. I also fear others may think I got them divorced since my mother says my Asperger's was part of why she had to protect me from their fighting and thus end the marriage. I took this to mean it is my fault.

Question: How do I get my mother off my back about her anger that I am nice to people she doesn't get along with?

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 06:24 AM PST

She is in a squabble with her sister and I am neutral and like both. My mother keeps getting mad at me and trying to play the guilt trip with comments of sarcasm. She hears I see the aunt because she sees my Facebook and I don't want to block my mother. The aunt never criticizes my mother to me nor do her two children (adult children). How can I get my mother to stop doing this to me? I am on my aunt's side the more my mother nags me otherwise I am neutral. I am an adult but see my mother about once a week. I usually don't post anonymous but did here due to the context of the question.
