Ok so it started when she asked me to test her for her spelling bee, which I did. She couldn't hear me, so I tried again and again to speak louder. I then give up and hand the test back to her, and then she started becoming angry saying 'fine, I can test myself anyways!' and started avoiding me from then on. ????? I don't think it's a moodswing, because she's happy whenever my brother is around, and quiet around me. I'm really starting to get frustrated with her, because she's been talking with my brother behind my back. It's a problem, because she knows me personally and now that she's becoming closer to my brother, she could spill all my secrets and he could use that as blackmail to control me. I'm trying to ignore it, but I can't lose my sister, because I always look back to our videos of us together and get really sad :(

I don't know what to do. They always fight. I have me and my two sisters who are 6 and 7. They have been fighting like this for almost a year. I have also been suicidal because of this, I have wrote suicide notes and was so close but I was never brave enough to do it. I wish I can protect my mom when they fight but I am too scared to stand up for her. Even when they're not fighting, he says little insulting things to her but she just lets it pass by and he even gets mad when she doesnt reply, like he wants to argue and fight and hit her. He says he wishes he could kill her, and it makes me scared, I don't want them to fight once and it gets too far. It kills me when he puts her down. I have no idea what to do. My mom would move but we have nothing, no family, no money.

I am almost 21 male , I am still living with parents ( I can't find a job), anyway my dad is forcing to attend my paternal cousins wedding , but I don't wanna go 1) I am introverted 2) I don't like my relatives 3)No one at the wedding is my age.(one of my cousins is 2 years older but he is not my type) 4) I have no interest in finding a gf or a wife at the moment. 5)My mom is okay with it if I don't wanna go and she understands my introversion. What should I do to avoid going to the wedding? PS: I have been to a lot of weddings and don't tell me that it is a special day. Policy: Stupid answers or trolls are not permitted and will be deleted. Thanks In Advance @RoaringMice I forgot to mention that I asked him why and he said he wants me to be extremely social , and have a lot of friends , but I care about quality of friends rather than quantity

Especially when there's never been conflict between the mother in law and daughter in law. Are they trying to cut mother in law out of babysitting? It was never an issue of the rules. It's the fact that rules are applied to the mother in law that aren't applied to the mother. All rules are respected. It's a matter of jumping through hoops and making it nearly impossible to spend time with the grandchildren when there's been no conflict at all in the family.

I'm going to gave to give you a background before I start I'm 19 going on 20 in june ive lived a struggle all of my life with family treating me like crap to even my own mother seeing me as just trash I myself feel worthless and like garbage all the time I feel so lost . I just lost my financial aid and my mother found out which just made her more angry and upset I go to a community college I was going to work full time pay school by myself since she no longer works .I'm trying to stay hopefull because every problem has a solution . I was thinking maybe move out first I know that its a long stretch but I know I can do it .it's going to be hard but to be successful you have to struggle .with her negativity I feel like I won't succeed until I move out and be on my own I wanted to know everyone

Think about it. Any idiot can get pregnant and keep their baby. No one makes them take a test to prove they will be a good mother or checks on their finances unless some red flag pops up with CPS like their baby was born with drugs in its system or something like that. So why then is adoption so difficult in America? The way I see it, if adoption wasn't so costly and invasive to a person's life, the burden of the foster care system would be greatly diminished. Do you agree? Also, if a woman gets pregnant out of wedlock, no one forces her to get married and says you can only be a parent if there is a mother and a father, so single people shouldn't be automatically discriminated against if they want to adopt.

My brother's room is perpendicular to mine; if you walk out of one room, the other room is at your side. My brother (let's call him Jake) had his door open 1/10 of the way. As I was leaving my room I shout "Hey Jake, what's happening?!" and as I walk in I see him watching some erotic video and JOing--he starts to shut down everything and I just shut his door and pretend to take a shower. When I come out he starts to follow me asking if everythings alright, if it was "that bad" etc; I just say I didn't see anything and I won't say anything. Should I be more upfront about what I saw and confront him, or just let it be? Personally, I don't care as much, but my parents are against porn so he'd get in trouble for it.

My 8 year old sister told me she sometimes hits our dogs and pinches our youngest sibling (7 months old) with the intentions of making them cry, so she can comfort them after. Should this be mentioned to a doctor? I've never heard of someone doing this before.

My daughter is 23, I raised her as a single dad. She graduated high school, never left home and has yet to have a job. Everytime I pushed just a little to try and coax her into a job she would just roll her eyes, pout, or go with " Dad, I'm your daughter, you're going to make me work?" or " I'm too pretty to work", then I'd back off. She goes out most nights, sleeps in, loafs around, rinse, repeat. How can I finally put my foot down?

I hope someone can help me. I'm 26 I went to my doctor because I was trying to get pregnant but it just won't happen i found out I have pcos my doctor wants me to go to mass general in boston to get help the doctor sent my information to mass general but I don't know if she sent any paper work about not telling my mother I want a baby? I told my mother about me having pcos but I don't want her to know about me wanting a baby shes very strict when it comes to this she wants me to have a baby intell I'm like 37 I don't want to wait that long well anyways shes coming to mass general with me I have no choice and shes gonna make me sigm paper work saying it's ok for her to know it's ok for her to talk to the doctor about the pcos is there anyway around this does the doctor have to tell my mom ? Or will the doctor at mass genarl not say anything to my mom if I went to my gny they sent my paperwork there but I don't know if they sent anything to them about don't say anything to her mother. I don't know what to do help. I know my mother is very strict.

Okay, first of all, if you have nothing nice to say then butt out and don't say it. I know I'll get rude comments for this, but whatever. I'm 15. Sometimes I like to wet things and would like to try bedwetting (obviously protecting the mattress). But at the same time I don't want my parents to find out. I've been doing this stuff for years and have had a few close calls. I'm a good kid but sometimes they barge into my room without knocking, and I can rarely ever lock the door! I've never been caught masturbating or whatever, but have also had close calls with that too. I'm not home alone that often and really don't like the idea of diapers. Sometimes when I want privacy I lock my door and say it messed up and locked itself (it actually does sometimes). If I ask for privacy they'll just be like "what are you hiding?!" I do my own laundry but sometimes my mom will randomly get some of my clothes to do with her own. I have no clue how to get rid of the smell or make things dry faster, any tips? I usually rinse it out with water which dilutes it but makes it take longer to dry. I generally do this when I'm home alone but the problem with that is that sometimes they get home early... Also, my door will unlock in like 5 seconds if you jiggle it right, so locking it really only gives me a bit more time. I let things dry in the back of my closet but so far I've only done that with underwear, and it takes forever. Any ideas? Say all the rude things you want, I don't care. I clean everything up so I don't really feel like I'm hurting anything. Also, I'm a girl.

We have an excellent credit score and his sister got a horrible score so even the landlord refused to accept her as a tenant & my husband felt sorry her. I felt sorry for her too and he bought a small house for her to rent, with a guarantee note from the father in law that she would pay on time. My husband was lying to me that his dad was paying the mortgage directly but I still see the debits from our banks come out twice a month. We rent to her way under fair market value in that area about half but seems like she doesn't appreciate. Today I call the bank and the bank told me that no additional payment was made toward the mortgage, means we pay for the past several months and she didn't pay. I felt like I was an idiot for trusting him so I confronted him and he told me that he would take care of me, I don't need to worry. Do you think he is not honest and respect me? If not I need to think further for myself. My trust toward him was still questionable and I don't visit his family because of this.

So when I was little my moms current boyfriend at the time abused me physically so I might just be over reacting but my moms husband has finally crossed the line with me and I was wondering if this stuff is illegal when I was about 10 and I made him mad he would only pick me up by my neck and start yelling at me (I'm 15) And now I don't know if he is abusing me emotionally because my mom has stopped physical punishments for the reason as you just read. Well to abuse me he will always threaten me from being like a mobster "You don't know whats going to happen if you dont do blank but you might not want to find out" to something like im going to ******* kick your *** you little ****** brat and I'm not some big guy its not like im ******* some bodybuilder no im a short skinny dude and there is just an array of insults he throws at me for the smallest things like me asking why i have to clean my room as a legit question like who is coming over to the house (I am not upset about cleaning my room dont worry XD)

I know it's weird but whenever I ran into her in Highschool when she was a lunch lady she'd give me this sultry look (kind of like I want to give it to u) I've known her for a long time but I'm not gonna lie she's attractive, she's a milf. We've semi flirted on Facebook messanger like me saying she's beautiful & her saying I'm a "sexy young man" I know it's all cringe worthy. But I just don't want my mom or her kids finding out the youngest is like a little bro to me. We're both adults but they're group of friends gossip a lot & she also hangs with my aunt so if we hooked up that can't slide. I know she's into older guys cause she dated one who took her to Orlando & everything but it didn't work out. She knows what I want to do to her & I know what she wants to do to me basically. I'm not looking for a relationship or anything I just want to mess & through her previous relationships I'm assuming she gets that and is cool with it even though she was like an aunt she's still hot & id like to get it in. Even if I do it is it a good idea

In August, I gave my brother my old car, free and clear. He had just moved into town to go to college and I was planning to buy myself a different vehicle anyways, so I thought it would be a nice thing to do for him. A couple of days ago, my husband borrowed it and it will more than likely be totaled (he's not at fault, someone hit him at a red light). He was planning to borrow it until his new job could cover the cost of another vehicle. My husband is in need of a vehicle to get to and from his job. My brother has a backup that he's not comfortable driving daily due to some mechanical issues. Neither of these guys have any money, at all. I do. I've offered to lend my husband some money for a vehicle to get him from a to b. My question is, should I do the same for my brother? I don't know how much the insurance will pay (we're talking about a car worth about $1500-2500). Should I just wait to see? Who knows how long that will take and these guys would both be more comfortable with vehicles now-ish. I could just buy him a car and pocket the insurance money when it comes in, but without knowing how much I'll get back, I don't know how much to spend. Should I just get one and suck up the difference if I end up spending more than I get back? I feel bad about my husband having destroyed my brother's car and feel somewhat liable. On the other hand, I gave my brother the car for free in the first place... Can we just rewind this week? Alright guys, let's not get hung up on the details of my marital finances. What we do works for us.

Do I report her? I m concerned that the children are either home alone (have been for several years), worried they have to see (or experience possibly) violence and that they are not adequately loved or cared for. It is my mum, I have filled out a form, but I need to know whether to submit. I've had countless conversations with her, but this has been happening since I was 6 (now 22). I just don't know what else I can do.

so my mom is always sacrificing everything for me and i want to give her back all the things that she did for me. but how?thanks

Okay, so I will be 14 years old on February 6 and my mom just walked out the door with my 10-year-old sister. I'm homeschooled, and my mom and I just had an argument, not too severe, with her about a few assignments that I needed to get done that were assigned last week. I admit that it was my fault that I got behind, and I said I would do those as soon as I was done with today's work, which I meant. As usual, my promise means nothing to her and she keeps on nagging and jabber-jawing about the assignments. Arguments like this happen often because it seems as if my 10-year-old sister is treated better than me and gets more leniency. It's always been that way, really. If you've ever watched the 1974-1983 TV show Little House on the Prairie, it could be sort of like Mrs. Oleson - treating Nellie better than Willie. We had a family argument the other night and my dad said that she pushes things too far. Then she always says that she has been too lenient in the past, and she just started getting angry at me because OF HER LENIENCY. If a parent chooses to be lenient, that is their choice and not the kid's, right? So if the leniency results in something bad, the leniency isn't the kid's fault. Well that's not how it works around here. My family claims to be Christians, but that's not the way they act at home. In public they're always so kind and caring, but at home it's terrible. Any advice on how to change this, at least on my part? And then when my sister does something wrong, she never gets yelled at or anything, meanwhile if I do the slightest thing in the wrong I practically get screamed at!

I'm almost 23 and still have a joint bank account with my dad my parents are kinda overbearing I feel like I can have a bank account by myself I'm also military I don't wanna hurt his feelings and start a fight but am I too old for this?

My parents are divorced and I am leaving for college in Az. Long story short my mom hates my dads side of the family and vice versa because of a custody issue with my little sister, my dad is trying to get custody. Well I will be going out there with about $5,000. I personally dont think that's enough. I live in iowa so do both my parents, my aunt (on my dads side lives in Phoenix) she said Im more then welcome to stay there as long as I need to but my mom hates her and gets really mad when I bring it up & they say it is super disrespectful if I go and live with here and really really doesn't want me to and keeps insisting on looking for apts and other places but I think there too much, , but I will save soooooo much more money if I do move in with my aunt, ill be going to school and full time job. So therefore save a crap ton of money. How do I explain it to her that I want to live with my aunt without being rude? Because I honestly think she'll disown me if I live with her, just a guess.

So in my last post I told you Guys about me falling down the steps so I'm going to the er today because I hit my head and my head has been literally killing me I'm going to the hospital in about 20 mins so answer quick! How can I get my mom to take me to a different hospital I wanna go to children's I like it and they treat me better but my moms like Christians is closer and their line is shorter when it's actually longer..how can I persude her to take me to childrens

And was screaming at you? She wants to play with her toys instead.

My grandfather passed away and before he died he said he wanted a private funeral with just immediate family. My mother (his daughter-in-law) said her sister insisted on going as well as my mom's other sister and niece. They only met my grandfather a few times. It was weird to bring them back to my uncles house since it was only immediate family and everyone was depressed and there wasn't much food. I thought you weren't supposed to invite yourself to a funeral? Should I have told them not to come before hand? I just didn't want to be rude but my aunts talked about it afterwards that they just wanted a private gathering with immediate family.

I'm 19 and a french major in college. I am supposed to study abroad in the fall of '16, the dream of a lifetime. But I just found out today that the showers in the dorms are wide open, like shower heads around poles. Intelectually, I know this isn't a huge deal, but emotionally I'm completely scared to the bone. Yes, I know it's "all girls", but I am the only daughter in my house, never played sports, didn't have to shower after PE, etc.....basically I'm the typical shy American. I know it's crazy, but I've actually considered applying for a different study abroad because of this. But on some level, I know this is the best study abroad for me, in the place I most want to be, and this seems a silly reason not to do it. On the other hand, I just can't imagine.....

Over Christmas I saw my uncle whom my mother will not speak to. I was glad to see him and said hi to him and his two kids who were with him (a third kid of his wasn't there). I also saw his wife who was there and spoke to her. My mother is mad I spoke to them because she stopped speaking to them 3 years ago since his wife (the uncle's wife) doesn't like my mother and her brother doesn't stand up top his wife. She also is mad that the uncle criticized her parenting 4 years ago when my older sister was abusing drugs (she has since stopped the drugs). So my question is how do I handle this. I like my uncle and his wife and their kids. I am sad that I have been barred from seeing them for three years. They live 15 minutes away and are nice to me even if they dislike my mother. I feel bad at the holidays that my other cousins get to go over to my uncle's Christmas Eve and we cannot because of my mother's feelings. How do I handle this? When I saw him it was at my grandmother's house.

I'm 15. I'm homeschooled since we moved really rural 2 years ago after my dad passed away. I'm a good kid, straight A student, almost never in trouble. But the last couple of weeks my mom has been on me about being lax on homework and having attitude when she called me out on it. I'm not defending my mistakes, I know I was in the wrong. But here's the thing, she lectured me at first and then she grounded me (groundings don't really bug me much, I like to read, etc)......and then suddenly this morning she threatened to spank me if I don't "get my act together." I'm like 15. I haven't been spanked since I was like 12, and even when I was younger it was rare. She can't be serious can she? Is this even legal at my age? Is anyone still spanked at my age? She seemed deadpan serious, and typically my mom means what she says. She isn't super strict but she rarely bluffs. I'm a total wimp about pain and I can't imagine a spanking, especially at my age. This just seems out of this world odd.

my mom packs my lunch and gross sandwiches. I hate her! Why can't I get my own life. Why does my sister always take my toys? I'm going to die!

So I have birthday surprise hotel room with a hot tub in it, for my husband and myself to enjoy. I am terrible with wording things. I need some help coming up with what to say in his card aout the hotel room/hot tub, and alone time. I want it to rhyme and be cute. He is turning 29 and we haven't gotten "alone" time in a while. Please help….otherwise it is just going to say….a night to enjoy together..

I need some advice. My mother-in-law is just a pain sometimes. I am really trying my best to keep my mouth shut and not rock the boat, but I am tired of having my feelings hurt by hurt. I always thought my mother-in-law would be someone that I could be close to and have a good time with...well that is not the case. She is very bitter, and always talks bad about her relatives. I have a child from a previous relationship and she makes comments about my child to my spouse which are harsh. She didn't say one word to me at my wedding to her son! It really hurts my feelings because I am a really nice person and I try to be on good terms with everyone, but this woman seems impossible! I talked to my spouse about it, and he says I am over-reacting, but I really feel hurt. I don't think I could talk to her, because she is the type of person who doesn't want to hear it. Please, I need positive advice.

We were literally about to move in together in a week, with a place picked, and half of my stuff already packed. He decided to drop the bomb that he can't afford it. I made it clear a month ago that I don't have a lot of money, but he said we would be perfectly fine. Not only has he lied about money, but we've been having other issues as well and Ive just had enough. So not only am I not moving out of my parents, but obviously we are not getting married in October. I can honestly say that I am not upset about leaving him. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I am more upset about telling my parents and disappointing them. They have already paid for quite a lot of things. The venue, dj, and a slew of decorations. On top of that, for Christmas I was given small appliances and other things for mine and his apartment. I feel more bad about my parents then I do him. I don't know how to tell them and get them to understand how sorry I am. I obviously want to pay them back for the things they've purchased, but I'm afraid they will be angry.

So yesterday I went to the grocery store to get things to eat. As me and my sister was getting things I was told by our mother to get 6 boxes of cereal she told me to pick 3 and my sister to pick 3 so my sister pick 4 and I told her you have to put one back and she became angry and said "fine you put it back then!!" mind you I m 19 and she s 21 so as I m on the phone with my mother I ignore her when she said that to me so she takes the buggy without me looking goes and pays for all the food and we still had a more things to buy and I didn t show it but I was really angry my sister literally acted as a child but guys she always been like this and I m tired of it what should I do and thats the last time I will be alone with her.

To keep the long story short, my 15 month old has behavior issues while around her grandma, because she gets spoiled by her grandma. It started when she was 12 months and we LIVED with her grandmother. Non stop crying because she knew grandma would pick her up. We moved out of grandmas house, and I finally made my daughter realize that behavior isn't okay by bringing her into a dark room and sitting her in my lap for "time out". Her behavior improved significantly. She spent one weekend at grandmas house last weekend, and now we are back home. She is non-stop screaming at me when I don't give her what she wants! I'm trying the same "time out" I did before but she's learned that she can act good and quiet in my lap, but when time out is over she can scream anyways. Do I keep the Same punishment going or find something else? Please help, with no judgmental comments please. If it helps to know, I am a stay at home mom, so I have time to try out pretty much everything.

Hearsay Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Colombia and India has beautiful women. Here in North Carolina also has beautiful women.

Meaning not eating till 2 pm and now he his making me pray by force until 2 pm. This makes me mad because he his making me do something that i don t want to do and I don t want to call the police, what should i do?

In 2013 my brother got accepted to the University of Notre Dame. We grew up in Philadelphia so that's pretty far away.(About 10 hours) He and I were both pretty close before he left given our past dislike for one another. We kept in touch really good for the first 3 months of the year. Called or texted about twice a month. Then he stopped answering my calls and when I had gotten in touch with him again he said that he got busy and that he was sorry. That being busy thing kept happening frequently and then he just stopped answering all together. The last time I talked to him was when I texted him "Hey, how's it going?" on December 22, 2014. I still have the text log. I never filed a missing persons report because one of his friends tagged him in a Facebook photo of them on Christmas so I know he's fine but why is he ignoring me? Did I become too overbearing? I know i'm prone to doing it but it's just my older sibling instincts.

last night my second cousin posted a picture on Instagram and she does know I'm her second cousin too. I am 15yrs old, a boy. I am expanding my family since I got 100+ cousins in Georgia. I saw one of my other second cousins which counts as her first cousin, commented on one of her photos. I've met that cousin at her grandpa's funeral but he counted as my great uncle. should I send her a request? and should I send her a DM saying " Hi, I am (put in my name) and your my second cousin because my dad is your first cousin, I am expanding my family since I am in touch with my cousins in Georgia, and Australia, please don't feel like I'm stalking you " should I do this? she does know I'm her cousin too.

Hi I graduated from college and I live with my parents and I just came home. The day I got home my cousin confided in me about my mother having an affair. Here are the signs pointing to an affair: My mother is unemployed and didn't save any money, but suddenly had thousands of dollars to spend on Christmas shopping and to spend on herself, the way she dresses and her behavior has changed, she has been leaving early in the morning and coming back late in the evening and won't say where she's going and gets mad if you ask, she's always leaving to go hang out with her "friends," she recently started hanging out with a girl the same age as me, she's always on her phone texting and on fb, if you try to get close to her while she's on her phone she'll quickly turn it over, She's always sitting in her room with the door closed whispering or she'll go in the bathroom for hrs and be talking on the phone, and she recently changed the password on her phone and won't let anyone use her phone. Also, she's always talking about this guy to my cousin and other family members and when another one of my cousins asked why do you keep talking about him she told her she better be nice bc my "friend" is not going to give me money to buy you stuff for xmas. About a week before Christmas my cousin told me my mother confided in her that she was going to a city about 2hr away from where we live with this guy. She told my cousin they were going to stay in a hotel for 4 days. How do I tell my dad? I know it isn't the truth bc she doesn't need to go shopping 2hr away w/ hm? When this guy found out my mom told my cousin he got mad at my mom for telling her. She said my mom told him that my cousin wouldn't care as long as she's well taken care of. My cousin also said she witnessed my mother buying new bras and panties and a tight dress before she was going to stay with him and when she packed her suitcase to leave with him that outfit was in there. Also, did I mention this guy is married??

This always worries me, I have never forgot about my kid but what if I did ?

My mum was really kind woman, she did everything for me, she was like my mentor. Does this sound ok- "she did everything for me and tried her hardest to keep me on the right track". although I did go of track a lot I wasn't exactly a good son. And this "all that she did I can never repay her".

Just simply how do I get my life on the road and stop having people(my own family) bring me down and take advantage of me, and guilt me into giving them my hard earn money and stuff. HOW???? I've tried but they make me feel like I'm selfish and stuf becaus I'm supposed to help my family and care. BUT ITS TOO MUCH!!!! They take advantage of me!!! I need to save my money!!! I need to get my permit, license, a car!! I'm 23!!! I have nothing!!! I know some is my fault because I LET THEM do that stuff but HOW do I tell them to f*ck off!! But in a nice way??!! I've tried and they drop guilt bombs on me! Help please!! I need to get my life on the road!! I'm going to go insane!!

2 days ago, my parents found out that I had lost my virginity and are now still distraught, especially my mother. I am an 18 year old girl raised with extremely strict Asian parents and lost it about a 4 months ago to someone I deeply regret. I was not planning to tell them that I had lost my virginity, but they had gotten a hold of my text messages and that's how they found out. It hurt me so much to suddenly come home from work and see my mom crying her heart out. Being raised in an era where sex out of marriage was taboo, my mom has been constantly following me, telling me that I have ruined my life and that now I have a bad reputation. People see me as a slut and will not respect me. I know that my parents are disappointed in my actions and probably feel that they have failed as parents, but I just want them to realize that I have learned from my mistake, that this won't determine my whole life, and that I will continue to work hard and be studious as I have always been. Although I'm 18, I still live under their roof since they do not want me to move out, and so I've always had to go along with their rules. They're not parents who are very open and also restrict me from doing a lot of things, so I end up doing things behind their back, which I know is wrong, to try to have fun and have a social life. I also am secretly dating a guy whom they met and do not approve of. He's the sweetest guy I've met and treats me really well though. Please help :(

I'm the youngest of three.she favors the others... She slaps me pulls my hair. She's never supported me. The past six months I've been suffering depression from neglect from her, my grades started slipping because of this and now she doesn't treat me like a home anymore I'm not allowed to hang out with friends off school and she called up the school said we aren't allowed to hang out at breaks... She doesn't give me food I often get food from my grandparents or buy some food that I can scavage for, plus I've never received any christmas presents from her which I know isnt important but my brothers get $1000-3000 for chrisrmas, if I get present from relatives she takes them away and keeps them herself same for birthday present except she doesn't say happy birthday or acknowledge it at all. I'm starting to crumble and if she slaps me or threatens to kill me again I'll snap. Oh and BTW my family went on holiday last year and I wasn't allowed to come along (I'm 14) so II stayed at my grand parents for a while and I left so they came down at lunch and dinner for some food and company. This is not a joke. Please reply asap.

Since about the time I became a teenager, my home life has been getting progressively worse. Im turning seventeen in four days, but I still feel as though Im a child. I understand at this age, you aren't supposed to be completely self sufficient, but I can't stand being so reliant on my family. Especially when Im unable to depend on them most of the time. My father got into a large sum of debt when I was younger, and hasn't had a steady income for the past five years. It's almost as if he's unemployed, but he refuses to take any other job. My brother is nineteen and won't work or drive, even though he isn't in school anymore. My mom tries her hardest to support the family, but barely makes enough money to support herself, and most of the time, it seems like all the burden is placed on me and her. I've always felt like I've had to do everything on my own. My dad tells me I can always talk to him if something's bothering me, but I always end up feeling worse by the end of the conversation, and nothing ever changes. I have an insane amount of school work from taking advanced classes, and my manic depression makes it difficult to keep up in school and take care of myself as a whole. Neither of my parents have reached out for help until I did something drastic. I'm also unable to drive, which complicates things, because I'm unable to work and get places on time. It's all incredibly stressful and I don't know how to change things for the better.

Im just going to give a little venting background story Well I just got out of the marines and went back home with my husbands family. We are living with his parents until we save up some money to buy a house. Well my inlaws are raising 2 boys which are my nephew inlaw. (Long story on why they are raising them) My husband and I have a little girl of 2 years. She is the most wonderful little girl in the world beside the terrible 2s lol.

I am going to be a medical student, with multiple internship. My part time job is next to my house. My parents want to give me $1200 to move out into my own apartment :(

I'm a teenager. I'm always rude and I can't control it. I try to be nice and calm but I can't do it all the time. I can't pretend to be someone else. My mum was talking to me and complaining that the dogs were barking and said that she wanted to bring one inside because they keep her up at night. I was saying that I didn't want one to come inside because I'm the one that ends up cleaning up after them. She retorted with saying something along the lines with "well how am I supposed to get any sleep tonight with all that noise?" and I replied by saying "well you say that they keep you up when they're inside anyway" and it was kind of a fighting type conversation. She then stopped everything and right to my face said: "You know, as a person, I really don't like you." It crushed me. Everything I do, I do for her. I try to be a daughter she can be proud of. I never bring her pride. What do I do. I'm sorry mum.

We haven't talked now for a good 6 months. We had an argument in July because I accused her of disloyalty. I told her I couldn't fully trust her. The argument has now left us both split. It's like we're the only ones left on an empty, bloody battlefield. She's on one side I'm on the opposite. On this battlefield I tried sending messages to her and all I've gotten was "stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Literally over the phone and she hung up. Because I'd call her a bunch of times and I've left her voice mails and everything. I left a note on her door in Octbr which she got and it was around her b day. Recently I went to her house at night and she told me to go home, she didn't come outside to talk to me. I saw her through the window. I left and came back 3 times within like 5 min. The 3rd time I came back she was trying to say something and pointed to something and idk what it was and I couldn't understand her since it was just mouth movement. I walked away/said **** you outside her house 4 times. 2 days later I walked her work. She was there at the register and I tried waiting to go up to her and ask when she had break. she fleed from my presence and went to the back room. I tried ncking on the door/some other employee said to leave and I heard her whispering to the woman. She didn't wanna face me so I walked home, shirtless and in the cold. Her friend told me I made a scene outside her house and that I should just wait to see if she will contact me instead

I'm 28 with a 4 y/o. At my last job, I earned $60k. Long story short, I ended up quitting due to a mixture of health, work stress, & family problems. My intention was to take a break, get eventually back on track & eventually find new work. However, unforeseen circumstances caused me to sell my house & move in w/my parents. Luckily, we made a profit of about $80k. With that, we decided to pay off all our debt ($20k in car & credit cards) & are now debt free. Being a stay at home mom, I learned to budget & manage our money better. My husband earns $43k/yr & we are able to save $20k & vacation 3 times a year. My health has improved. I eat clean & have more time to spend w/family, travel, & enjoy life. I don't stress the way I use to, but do find myself bored at times. Ultimately, our goal is to live w/my parents for 3 yrs until we save enough money to buy a home in cash (the area we live in is cheap & we already have a huge chunk). After that, we will continue to save $20k/yr. Any home bills will be offset by the current rent we are paying my parents ($400). My question is, should I continue on this route & become a stay at home mom permanantly, saving $20k/yr? Or do I go back to work & try to save more? We do plan on having another baby soon, but does being a full time mom make me selfish or lazy? Sometimes I feel like I'm not as "good" or "successful" as other women when I don't have a hefty paycheck coming in.. if you were in my shoes, what would you do?

I have memories of my dad coming into my room and standing over me, watching me. I'd sometimes hear the door open, and sit up and ask him what he was doing, and he'd never respond, just shut the door and leave. So, then I started pretending I was still asleep. He just stayed in my room, I don't know what he did, because my eyes were closed, but I would hear the door open and then hear him breathing and then the door would shut a couple of minutes later. I have memories of him doing this from ages 12-16. And, he did it fairly often. I always wonder if he did it every night, and maybe sometimes I just didn't wake up. It made me really uncomfortable, and I never brought it up. Creepiest part is... One time I saw him scrolling through his camera roll, and saw pictures of me sleeping on there. Why do you think he did this? I'm 19 now, and I don't know, maybe if I still lived with him he'd continue doing it...

Yo, how's it hanging everybody? The reason why I'm asking this question is because people and my family tell me only big brothers can protect their little sisters and big sisters can't protect their little brothers and that they don't. I don't believe it's true and I just listen to them and say "okay" because I believe older sisters can protect their little brothers from harm and danger too if they know really good self defense and martial arts. And if they're strong like older brothers are. My big sister protected me when I was a little kid because I have a disability of austism and bipolar and because I'm much weaker than her and she's strong and powerful. And my nephew's older sister protects him because he's also disabled and kind of weak and because he's still a kid. My sister is six years older than me and my nephew's older sister is four years older than him. So can big sisters protect their little brothers too? I believe they can and laugh at what people tell me. So can big sisters protect their little brothers too?

My mom caught my dad videocalling another girl :'(. And now I feel like my dad is falling out of love :'(. What do I do? I feel like they will divorce soon :c

I never loved my dad. I know that's sad. But, trust me when I say, you CANNOT force yourself to love someone. I tried to love him. I never could. He was immature, and he made me uncomfortable. He had that whole possessive thing some dads have. That "You're MY daughter. MINE. This is MY house, you do what I SAY." And, to outsiders looking in, that can look like affection... But, I don't think it was, at least not in the case of me and my father. He just wanted to have control over someone. And, he was obsessed with his image. He wanted people to think he cared when he didn't REALLY. He gave me shelter, he fed me, he disciplined me... But he never cared how I felt. He only ever talked to me about school. "Are you getting good grades? Hanging out with the right people?" He rarely listened to me. He told me who to be, If I wasn't who he wanted me to be, I wasn't his daughter. He was racist and homophobic. When I watch movies and TV shows, and see these accepting, loving dads it makes me want to cry, because I really want one of those. I stopped going to my dads in my teens. He hurt me way more than he helped me. During the whole ordeal he made himself seem like the victim, and I was shunned by my grandparents on that side. I am 22 now. I wish I had a father who'd love me for me. Do those really exist? Is my idea of a good father unrealistic? What's your idea of a good father? You don't know **** about me, Fox. I have been addicted to multiple drugs, and was a prostitute for three months of my life. I dropped out of high school, and didn't go to college. Is your username "Fox" because you are a condescending a$$ like everyone involved with that god-awful news channel? I don't put up with bad people. My dad was wealthy. It was no issue for him to feed me. He only did it for his image, and because it was so easy. He only wanted me to get a good education so I wouldn't rely on him when I grew up. As if I'd want help from HIM. Everything he "Did for me" was really a disguised, selfish act. He was racist. Sexist. Hated gays. He might be my dad, but he was one awful man. And, I loathe him. He messed me up. Strict parents make sneaky kids. Push too hard one way, your kids will push even harder the other way. Oh, and actions speak louder than words? That explains why he used to hit me. I'm losing faith in humanity. You all think helping your kid survive is good parenting. Surviving is different than living, you traditionalist fukks.
