I am very close to my aunt. I noticed however that when I ask her for advice, I think she tries to use reverse psychology on me. For example my friend invited me to go with her to Paris for Christmas. I wanted to go but I felt really bad about not being with my family on that day. So I asked my mom and my aunt. My mom was excited and urged me to go. My aunt also said that I should go on the trip, that it was a good opportunity that I should not miss. When I got home from the trip my aunt was very mad. She said that she had hoped I would come to the decision on my own that my family was more important. I m very upset because she is starting to do this every time I ask for advice. It s happened with everything from what I do on my birthday to some major life decisions. I only ask for advice when I am very torn and I ask her because she is intelligent and I respect her. I feel like she is trying to trick me. I never know if she is giving me good advice. Should I confront her about it or just stop listening to her.

To keep it concise, It has already been 2 weeks since he left home and he still hasn't communicated back with us since. Mom is super worried about him and told me to call/text him but he is never answering. But, parents are still not really supportive of his homosexuality. Though me and his older brother who are much more open-minded are completely supportive.

I really wish my parents would get a divorce. They had quite a few bumpy spots when they would yell and fight and not talk to each other at all. When I was younger I hope it would just pass but now I just wish they would get a divorce. None of them are happy and they-mostly my mom-turns their anger onto me because they feel i'm old enough to deal with it-i'm only 14. I've decided who I want to stay with and even though i'll miss having both parents, I want them to divorce. Is it wrong of me to think this way? Ps:I'm not happy in this family either because when my family is at home, they just make me pass messages to each other or my mom just yells at everyone for no reason and always wants to pick a fight.

I'm VERY unhappy living at home, I live with my mum, 2 of my brothers and my sister. Ever since my mum has started going out and drinking we have had less money for food and even to travel to college. Sometimes we don't even get to have dinner, I mean I can cook but there isn't any food to cook in the house sometimes. I really want to leave home as living here makes me feel depressed which is affecting my behaviour in college as I am less motivated to work resulting in me getting sent home 3 times. Seeing my mum sometimes makes me stressed and I end up smoking because of it. I really don't want my other siblings to get taken away from my mum as they are happy here and my mum is still a good mum to us all despite what is written above. As an unemployed 16 yr old living in the UK what are my options about leaving home? (My dad isn't an option as he lives with his wife and my brother that I've met twice and I'd feel uncomfortable and other family members are not an option) Thanks in advance.

So my house has been broken into a couple of times now. First someone broke into my garage and stole my dirt bike. Next was right after Christmas and I bought a Ps4 and xbox One for my dad and I. They also stole my my moms jewelry. And now again someone broke into my house and stole 3 TV's. BTW I know who broke into my house the second time, one was arrested and they all go to my school. So I get to see them everyday. All this is really getting to me and im starting to feel really depressed.

I'm working at clothing store at the mall so I don't have money to move out and live on my own with my daughter. I'm in college majoring in business. My family is extremely verbally abusive. I'm stuck & losing my mind. Any advice?

I am a 17 year old girl and my mom has decided to get back with her ex who has broke up with her TWICE in the past span of 3 years. My parents are divorced and I live with my mom full time meanwhile my brother lives with my mom part time and the other half with my dad. My dad has done some terrible things in the past and has real personality issues that I'm not ok with being around. So therefore, I rely a lot on my mom as my parent and just someone to be around. She works 11 hours 4 days a week for her job so I'm home alone a lot... Which I have no problem with, I'm a big girl. But instead of her coming home after work, she likes to go out to dinner w/ her friends or whatever.... She has been home a lot more for the past 8 months when her serious ex boyfriend dumped her for no reason of substance. She dated some guy during a 6 month period after her ex dumped her and she didn't love him. So recently her ex has reached out and she immediately runs back to him, after promising me that she would never go back to him. Now she is back and she is treating me differently (more strict, less herself). She spends all of her free time with him and she thinks I'm ok with it because I choose not to tag along with them. I don't ever want to hang out with her ex again, I'm not fine with the way things ended and I don't think it is healthy for them to get back together. She spends her days off with him and then asks me if I'm fine with her spending the night at his house. I say yes, even though I wish she would just want to maybe stay home with me and he can go back to his house. (I told her I'm not ok with him spending the night anymore, sex related gross stuff that I've heard in the past has scarred me.) So I spend my weekend days and nights alone, I have friends but I'm having problems with them right now so I'm feeling pretty alone all the time. So weekdays when she works she goes out to dinner late with her friends or her boyfriend and then weekdays and weekend nights she is with her boyfriend. Is this me being needy? I really feel like her boyfriend is taking up all her time and she doesn't see the fact that me being alone 24/7 is a bad thing. Idk what to do... All I have for structure is my mom and now that I don't have that I feel sad and alone. What should I do and/or how do I come to terms with this?

For the last couple of days I've been at a major science competition. In the week before that (My Christmas holidays) i spent everyday working on my project. I've been up early and asleep late pretty much every day because of it and i haven't had a break. I'm absolutely exhausted. I have school tomorrow, how do I convince my parents to let me stay home?

Im 14 years old and the youngest of 6. I dont get home from school until 6 bc of practice and on some days i dont get home until 10 (also because of practice). They expect me to vacuum the whole house, SCRUB every bathroom, take care of the dog, do the laundry, and do "extra" everyday. As well as getting straight A s and being a part of a sorority. I also have to cook dinner if my dad gets home after me, even though my 17 year old brother and 15 year old sister are already home, i have to do the extra work. Are they asking to much from me?

Whenever something happens, my sis goes, "I didn't do it!!" and then I get punished. Please help!!!

Ok, my brother, sister and I each have separate chores to do. I have to clean the bathroom and theres a small, boxed sized hallway before you get to the bathroom. In between the hallway separates my room from my mothers. Now keep in mind I have to clean this little area too. My little problem is my mother, she cleans her room but sweeps all her trash in the little hallway that i have to keep clean and tells me to pick up HER trash. She doesn t ask, she just tells me to pick up the trash as if it was mine to begin with. When I confront her about it and ask her why doesn t she pick it up herself; she says that her room is too small for her to do so (ITS NOT). If I would confront her more, get upset, or refuse to so she would lash out. An argument would occur,she ll try and hit me do to her anger AND or she ll try to put me out the house, call me selfish and etc. I wouldn t mine picking the trash up but the way she goes about doing it is selfish. What should I do? What should I say?

my mom birthday is next week and i want to get her something good! shes very hardworking, business owner (going back and forth) , and she works around the house (garden, cleaning, ect) whats a perfect gift to give her? i was thinking about stuff from lush like a relaxing thing or something or a perfume me and my sister are pitching in $ to get her a gift card (100 $) to her favorite store, but i want to get her something from me personally

So he is a CPS lawyer and deals with some pretty bad stuff so I get he's paranoid, but every time before I go to a friend's house he has to stalk their parents on Facebook. That is the sole reason for his Facebook account. Once me and friends were on our back land and he followed some of us to take pictures. It was my birthday but one girl didn't know who he was and just thought he was some creepy guy.

This happens all the time! I always make popcorn and take it too the living room chair to eat it, when i do my parents dont care. I did that for the past 4 years!! Yet today when i did that my dad starts screaming at me and says its gonna leak butter everywhere and told me to take it to the kitchen so i did. He says "thats right just go do what ever you want like you always do" i say i was just taking it out to the kitchen an he gets mad. I dont get it!!! When he tells me to do something and i do it they are still mad!!! What do i do??

This woman does everything for everyone, never asks for any help, and refuses help when it's offered. She the strongest person I know, and we're very close. I want to do something special for her birthday this year, to show her how much I appreciate her and all that she does for the family. I don't have much money so the hard limit is $200. I was thinking of having flowers delivered, or maybe something like that. She's very sentimental. I want this to be the best gift she's ever gotten. If she cries tears of joy, then I've done my job. I'm thinking multiple gifts. Three- or four-part gifts. This woman deserves it all. Maybe it would help to hear what gifts you all have gotten your loved ones? I could use tons of ideas.

My dad created my brother and I's apple IDs and wont tell us. I'm fine with it, all I have to do is have my dad type it in for apps and such. I decided to find it out by screen recorder just out of curiosity and made the mistake of telling him I found mine. He thinks that our passwords are the same for some reason and threatened to hurt me if I dont tell him. He is 18 and I am 15. He is about twice my weight in muscle so I cant do anything to protect myself. I tried to tell him that they cannot be the same but he wont believe me. Anyways, a couple of nights ago, my parents left for a while. My brother Daniel came into my room and immediately punched me in the face. This disoriented me and allowed him to lay on me so i couldn't escape. He choked me with his hands until I gagged. He stopped and said "im only going to ask once, what is my apple ID?" I replied "you have to believe me, They are not the same so I don't know". He then squeezed tighter then ever and held it for felt like forever. I thought he was going to let go soon, but he didn't. I tried to gasp for air but I couldn't. I started to feel woozy as a horrible pain was shooting through my lungs. I started to blank out. When I woke up, he was gone and i could tell I was out for about 3 minutes. (I was on my phone before this and saw the time). He came into my room and said next time it will be worse. His name is Daniel Downs. (I don't care that his name is exposed because the abuse he has caused me over the past 2 years has caused me to develop depression). I am scared and don't know what to do. please help. Just dont call the police or anything because that would make me feel worse. Is this normal for sibling conflicts?

I always want sex with him. Anyone else, I'd normally want sex once every two weeks but since I've been with him I want sex with him everyday. It's as though I'm a horny teenager, everytime he touches me I feel as though I'm instantly turned on. I was never really that interested in sex with anyone else. Is it normal? I feel as though it's bad in many ways, as he could get worn down by it. We've been together for 4 years, and he seems happy with it for now. I give him oral more than we have intercourse, as he enjoys it more. But do you think I need to try and stop with the constant want for sex?

im 18, live in nyc, and can pretty much drive for the most part. i want to get my drivers license so i can join the military and gtfo of this shitty house with my annoying family who just fights screams and criticizes me all the time.i mean i love them but theres just too many people in this damn house and i really cant take it anymore. every time i ask to get my license my parents say I'm not ready, the insurance will go up, (meanwhile my asshole sister who doesn't do **** for anyone got her own car and has th e gas paid for, courtesy of my parents) etc. tldr: so do i need my own car to take the test? what do i need to bring to the dmv? what fees will there be? thanks

The thing is that my parents (namely my father) are over-protective and don't want anything bad to happen to me. I appreciate that they care about me, but sometimes it can be suffocating. Yesterday, I was practicing my lines (for my theatre class) in my room, but since my house was noisy, I decided to go to my basement. 30 minutes later they think I've been kidnapped and start worrying like usual. I come upstairs and I explain to them that It was too noisy. But then my Dad gives me a look that basically says that he thinks that somehow I either doing drugs/ having sex/ whatever bad think you can think of IN OUR BASEMENT. Then I was grounded for a week. I am a pretty good student and I've never done anything to break my parents trust. Why won't they trust me?

My family is very competitive and envious of other relatives who are more successful than them. If someone accomplishes, they will try to upstage the relative or ignore the accomplishment with their smog noses up in the air. I illustrated a beautiful painting of my Mother and my aunts together for christmas. They all love it beaches its beautiful. My mom shared the painting in a group chat over the phone and immediately my cousin sent pictures of her daughter at her balet performance. Of course I couldn't have all the lime light. I uploaded the painting of my aunts on Facebook as my profile picture and all of my friends praised it. except for my cousins (I painted their friggin mother and they did not acknowledge it. Yet they come swarming like flies to a flame when i post a picture of my boyfriend on fb) . Recently another cousin from my dads side complimented my painting on fb. I want to say reply to my cousin in a passive aggressive way that will indirectly be referring to my jealous cousins. What should i say? I started off with "thanks cousin, i might paint a picture of your mother and her brothers together......" Im not sure though. Im pretty much declaring a little war lol. I know my future success is what would really burn them up but I want shots fired right now in a subtle way. Its fun doing this to them. Its a gentle reminder to them that we know they're all feigning their success and are in the same rat race/rut as we are. My mom does it all the time.

So there's this band I listen to that's doing a tour in North America. They're going to New York/New Jersey and I want to go to that concert. This is probably my only chance to actually see them, because they're extremely popular in Korea/Asia and idk if they're gonna come to NA again. The only problem is, it would take about 3 or 4 hours for me to get to the venue and it's at 7PM on Sunday. I probably wouldnt get home until 1 or 2 in the morning. I have school the next day (I'd have to wake up at 6, and it's right after a week long Winter break) and my parents will most likely be working, so one of them (probably my dad, unless my mom goes with me or my sister isn't working the next day and is up for taking me) would have to take off work the next day. I've been to a concert on a Thursday before and my parents let me skip school the day after. I have good enough grades to where I can get on honor roll, and my parents know this, but still wouldn't want me to miss any school. Would it be better to try and just go late? I'm the one whos gonna be paying for the tickets, so they might be a little bit more inclined to let me go. Do you think my parents might let me go or no?

My ex left me because she said she outgrew me (we fight a lot) & said she didn't even know about me anymore but will like to stay friends . To be honest she was the best gf i ever had. Not to mention really beautiful (idk if i'll ever find someone like her). She also had a friend that'll tell her bad stuff about me as in "he's a bum leave him". Once i heard about this friend i went off on her friend. I called her a bietch etc. After my ex said how she felt i asked her if she has dated around and she said nothing serious yes. I then admitted i slept with an old ex while on our last break up since i wanted to know if she was seeing/slept with someone & she never mentioned she slept around. I guess she got jealous and said "only one girl? is that all hot stuff ". Needless to say my gf said to f off and to never bother again. It's been 8 months since we talked. The other day we bumped into e/o and she flicked me off and sped away in her car. Honestly i'm going crazy w/o her. I miss her lots. What should i do & do you think she got jealous or was hurt?????...

I am 16 and currently reside with my aunt, uncle, and cousin. In middle school I went to live with them since my mom was too unstable to take care of me. Unfortunately they are emotionally abusive and I can t stand to live them anymore. And trust me I am not just some teenager who thinks who legal guardians are just "mean and don t understand me", they are abusive to the point where if I live with them much longer I don t think I ll continue to live at all. My mom is now stable, she has a steady job, good emotional and physical health, and has moved out of our old neighborhood. I also have an older brother who is married and also is very stable. I want to try and live with one of them and maybe even my best friend if we work it out financially. My question is how, who do I contact and how do I go about it? Please help me! Thank you!

In elemntary school I reported mt parents for abuse (I was young and stupid). I am now a freshman in high school with a younger brother in middle school (6th grade)... My parents haven't really hit me in a few years but they still hit my little brother... They verbally abuse both of us and physically abuse him. I feel kind of bad for my brother sometimes and I want to tell someone! But when I did that in elementary school, social services told my parents that if they get one more complaint then my brother and I would be taken away from them... Tbh I don't think that I would mind this, but I also don't want my brother to have his parents taken away from him at such a young age and I don't want the life we have to be ripped away from up.. Should I just keep my mouth shut?

Ok I am really starting to get furious now. I put my purse on the table in the living room and she stole over $40 in it. She keeps stealing my damn money and spending it on wine and cigarettes and keeps the rest for herself. And she literally makes over $100,000 per year. And if i ask her if she took it, she'll say no and act like nothing happened. I used to have like $100+ in my purse but now I have $22 and a $100 gift card.

My sister has been seeing this guy for 3 years behind our families backs, I have no doubt my parents would NOT approve of it he is nearly our father's age!!!, she doesn't live with us so shes been able to sneak around but now for her 23rd birthday, we always have a dinner party and she wants to bring him and tell people? I'm trying my hardest to convince her not to. But she doesn't listen? It would bring shame on our family so they would never speak to her again, I've said this but she won't care? What can I do??

So I love Moraculous Ladybug, and I want to do a cosplay of ladybug, but my mom won't help me make the suit, because she thinks it's weird. What do I do? Her and my brother think it's weird.

I was visiting my husband's mother and I ask her to see his baby pictures. She gave me her family picture album to look at. In it was pictures of her being crowned Miss YYY 22 years ago. Was she ever beautiful them as she is now. She had never told me about this and neither had my husband. None of her friends know about it either. It was quite an honor so I asked my husband why she never told anyone about it. He said she was embarrassed that she could not fit in the dresses she wore when she was crowned Miss YYY. She had a gorgeous figure then and now. It turns out she is only 1 dress size larger now than when she was 20. What a remarkable feat for a woman in her 40s that has had 3 children. I just hope I am that lucky when I am her age. She has a birthday soon and I would like to give her a party to celebrate her birthday and being crowned Mis YYY and invite all her friends. I think they would like to know and would be very happy for the honor she has received. However the LAST THING I want to do is cause her any embarrassment. Gals, please give me your thoughts on how or if I should proceed with this. I WILL NOT do this if she does not want me to. I will ask her permission before I do it. Would you be embarrassed for your friends to know you were crowned Miss YYY 22 years ago. THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE.

Hi I'm soon to be 16 and eh my mother has recently told me that when I turn 16 I'm to get a job were she works as a waitress or cleaner in not sure yet but anyways see I don't really want a job because I worked last summer and still have the money going and like i just planned to work summers so she told me that I have to get a job where she works and she's taking half of my pay check. This to me seems unfair as I pay for my own clothes own phone a nd Wi-Fi bills transport ect with money from my summer job. I've tried to talk to her about it but she refuses to listen and I guess i just dont know wat to do l, thanks! :)

I m 13 yo girl and my mom chose her husband over me. no, he s not my dad. my parents got divorced when I was 5 & I chose to live with mom knowing dad was abusive. I didn t know till one day I found out that the reason they divorced was because she cheated on him TWICE. I feel really bad for my dad and I hate my stepdad. my family knew that he married her for money. he thought she was rich until dad took all his rights & she was left with nothing. she works her *** off to live but he kept asking for money. he doesn t have a job or even try to find one. I wish I could help but I don t have any money. I felt really bad when a debt collector came to her and she ll hide cause she barely could eat. one night, I slept over at her house in the same room with her & her husband. I slept next to her husband but in a different mattress. its 3 am & my mom has fell asleep. he grab my hand and put it on his penis. I was so shocked and remain speechless. he smirked and gave me a look to his *****. I am so scared & woke my mom. he went back to sleep and I told her everything. but she told me not to say it to anyone or she ll kill herself. so I never did I have depression and anxiety disorder. so me and my mom decided to have a serious conversation & I bought up about choosing her husband & me. and she told me she ll choose her husband & go far away. I want to live like other people. but I should be grateful of what I have & I m trying to. I m also trying to forgive him but its really hard.

Edit I have a sister and a brother. When all 3 of us graduated from high school, mom and dad told us they would pay for any addition schooling we wanted. I chose to go to college. My sister chose to go to beauty school which mom and dad paid for and my brother chose not to get any additional schooling and immediately get a job. It is now 10 years later and at family gatherings we have this disagreement. My brother and sister want mom and dad to give them an equal amount of money they spent paying my way to college. Mom and dad refuse. They say they gave us a choice and we have to live with the choice we made. My brother and sister's latest argument is that I should give them the amount of money mom and dad spent on my college education because I am now very successful and I can afford it. I am not inclined to do that. Do my brother and sister have a valid argument?

I was 6 when I was first"hurt" by a friends dad for the first time, he told me I made him do it for giggling like that and wearing my pink Cinderella nightgown like a women, and I remember apologising as he put it in me and hurt me continusouly. He told me I wanted it, but I didn't, it was my fault, I shouldn't have giggled. He continued to hurt me in different ways for 3 years, and everytime i fought back. i didnt fight as hard as i couldve becuase since the first time i didnt want him to hurt my friend, i wanted him to hurt me instead, becuase i loved her and didnt want her hurting,when I moved I thought I would finally be okay again, but at the same time I felt guilty that I was getting away but she wasn't, it was years later that she told me thank you, and that because I took it, not once did her father touch her. I felt bittersweet at that statement, she knew I was getting hurt and she didn't bother helping me?..

Thanks in advanced.

Same. What's worse is that I'm an Asian child. American Born Chinese, ABC for short. My parents have always set the bar way up high, but I still reach it. Yet they still think I'm a failure. I just want them to be proud of me, to realize how hard I've been trying to gain their approval, but it just isn't happening. I'm 12, and going though some depression and anxiety because I always feel like I'm just not good enough, since that's what my parents think and "parents are always right," right!? I've been thinking they aren't always right, but then I'm just one of those rebellious, stereotypical teens if I do that... right? ;/ I've just entered middle school and have tried so hard. I'm in all the honors classes and have A+'s on of the classes I take. I'm only doing this for my parents. Yet, THEY DON'T BLOODY CARE. And it sucks. Now everything hits me too hard. Anyone who jokingly says I'm ugly, stupid, worthless, etc really hurts me because it just confirms what I think about myself because of my parents. Every time I make a simple mistake like bumping into someone in the streets I immediately think how I'm such a bloody little failure that shouldn't exist. I just want them to realize that I'm trying so hard to please them and that they could have had a terrible, drug addict, smoking, bratty child and they should maybe appreciate me more. I'm just wondering, is anyone else going/has gone through this?

Which would you rather have? -1 brother -1 brother & 1 sister -2 brothers

I dunno. I just think I'm mad. I chased my cousin around BC she was going to post an embarrassing photo of me and said as a joke of course. But I don't think she took it as a joke, I'll kill you!!!! And she called me scary :(. I keep touching my cousins playfully to tickle. We always do it nd when they ask me to stop, I stop. Anyway, I don't trust myself with animals either. But I really love them. I just don't trust that I'd take care of them properly hence why I'm hesitant to get one. They might be hurt if I don't keep an eye on them :(. Am I crazy?

Is this bad?

Hello, My dad beats me. I finally managed to capture it on video for proof but I just dont have the courage right now to call the police. He threw my blanket off while i was asleep, yelled at me and got ANGRY with me because I had to wake up and cook him breakfast. He did not tell me this yesterday or at all so he was mad out of nowhere. "You wake up and you cook food! THATS YOUR JOB youre not small!" I am 17 now, but i talked back and said "you're not small either..." he got up threw something at me and pushed me on the floor punched my back multiple times. Should I send the video to my aunty or keep the video? Should I let my aunt help me or should I call the police? Is it wrong if i send the video to my aunt? I dont know if its right or wrong... once i do it theres no way to take the video back

Last weekend I was at a party with my friends and my Sister, a lot of people from my year and my Sisters year where there. We played dares and they dared my Sister to give me a ******* and at first we said no but they moaned at us and said that it was unfair if we didn't do it so we agreed. My sister sucked me off but for some reason we felt quit horney so we went fun rther and we ****** with everyone whatching. I feel ashamed for doing it and we haven't talked about it, should I talk to my Sister?

Basically she s currently POA, as she had a job with finances and when my mother got sick, my brother and I were still in college, and previous POA figured we didn t want to deal with it. Anyways, she was married to my father with a child from previous marriage (daughter didn t grow up with her). My brother and I are her only children. My father divorced her and now my sister is no longer her step child, and therefore has no ties aside from being POA. Now she s telling us when my mother dies she s taking 1/3 of her estate. She also took $10k for funeral expenses, when my mother is being cremated, so it should only be around $3K/4K. Is that legal, especially since we re executors? POA has no rights after death. Side note: My mother can t communicate due to her illness

It was sudden, I am not sure what happened but was unexpected for sure. I want to do something to help. I don t live in the area where he and his family live anymore, although I will be there next weekend, however I won t be able to make it (Due to work) for the memorial. I have a card to send and gift card for starbucks. I was going to send a gift card for a place his family can get takeout from, since I can t provide a pre-cooked meal, however don t know where they like to eat. What else can I do?

I work my *** off all year at school and I have to get a summer job!!!!!! Hell NO. Summers are meant to be break off school. "They will make you responsible." No they wont !!! It will teach me how to flip burgers. I don't need money for anything !!!!! I don't ask for a lot. I make GOOD grades!!! I don't drink or smoke, I listen to everything you say !!!!! How do I convince them I don't need a job!!!!

He has had no contact except one time the Christmas after he left which would be 13 years ago now. All I know is he remarried and pays child support but will not visit at any time under any circumstance. I have no memory of him as I was only 3 the last time he visited. I hear he was very nice when he was hear but somewhat of a drifter. So my question is what am I missing and how do I grieve this like my therapist says I need to do? I am a guy but only have four women in my life (my mother, my sister, my grandmother, and my aunt). I don;t even have any cousins as my mother's only sibling never married so I am the only guy anywhere in the family outside of distant relatives like 2nd cousins.

She says my Dad likes me but does not love me and that he would not have remarried had he loved me.

I won't be on my own until after high school so I have to follow my parents rules and my mother says "do what your Dad says" as he is ultra controlling.

She is sarcastic, irritated, and sometimes mad that I get along with my step-mother. She divorced my father in 1991 and my father died three years ago so my mother is especially bitter after my father's death that I am still nice to my step-mother. For example, Christmas my mother was mad that I left her house one hour earlier then the others since I was going to my step-mother's for desert. Her comment was "how is your buddy (followed by my step-mother's name)". It was said with a very irritated and sarcastic tone. She also makes a mountain out of a molehole when she found out an unfair comment my step-mother made about my sister's behavior.

Hello, I am 14 and will be 15 next week. My mom and dad (mostly dad) are really strict. I know at the end, it's because they love me and want to look out for me, but I think they are too strict. I'm even nervous to tell them that I have a boyfriend. And my dad when is in a bad mood, I feel as if he always takes it out on me.. And it's not like a here-and-there, it's very often. I'm not sure what I should do. I want them to loosen up more.

She's trying to protect me but I criticize people whom I like so is she right or not? For example she won't let me go to my aunt's house because my cousin said I sometimes talk on an on (he didn't say he disliked me, just that I talk on and on). The cousin is a kid just like me so I think it may be a kid thing. I am 15. My mother has done this in many other ways also.

Like once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. My friends tell me once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader. Once a druggie, always a druggie. I think those three are true. I'm no cheerleader but my friends are. But do you think this one is true: Once a daddy's girl, always a daddy's girl I don't know any that is one. Just curious

She is an adult sister

My fiance and I have been together for almost 5 years. And I LOVE his family to death, especially his mother. Even though she can be difficult about us venturing out on our own, shes still very supportive. My fiance cheated on me a while back and we've worked it out. And during all that he admitted that he knows his step dad has cheated on his mom numerous times and that's where he got the influence from. His mother does everyone everything for that man. And recently my fiance said he thinks that he may be doing it again. And he isn't going to even say anything to his mother. It's not his business, while I know it's not it bothers me that he wouldn't want to protect his mom. And if something like this doesnt bother him, then does he think cheating isn't even that serious?

I can't sleep most of the time without someone watching over me. Sometimes I ask my sister to lay down on the bed to try to make me sleep! I'm not ashamed of this, but some people would try and make me feel ashamed but I don't tell anyone. When my sister leaves the room sometimes I wake up. My mom says when I was a baby I would cry whenever I was alone and when I was a child I shared a room with my sister than when my sister got a different room I slept in that one with her, than we shared another room together when I was like 11 when we moved. Than when we moved again i had my own room but I kept sleeping with my sister well now we moved again and I'm sixteen now. It's not because of my sister, I know that.
