Question: I couldn't understand this passage. Can anyone please help me?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 01:03 PM PST

As evening sneaks in, we go down to the kitchen. I clank the pan onto a hob and fetch a packet of sausages from the fridge. I can't bear the fatty lumps which squeak against my teeth like polystyrene and I can't bear the way each end puckers to an unfryable twist, but I like the ritual of Sunday sausage cooking

Question: My mom hit me?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 12:56 PM PST

My mom and I got into a fight and then I told her I didn't like her and then she said she didn't like me back and then she hit me. The she told our housekeeper and was talking bad about me, but she's hit me before, not marks it just hurts. Im okay with getting things taken away or something but why should parents have the right to hit their children. I do everything to help her I tried to save money to get her Adele tickets and I even pick out food that she can have and help her with the foods she cant because she has diabetes. To be honest I hate her but I can't move out because I'm 12.

Question: How to tell my parents my bro was having sex with his gf in the next room?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 12:54 PM PST

So about 10 mins ago my brother was having sex with his girlfriend, and his room is right next door. I could hear sexual noises and the bed creaking a lot. He also had like Italian music playing in the background to cover up (which didn't work) I'm 13 years old and I am sick so as you could tell it wasn't the best time. So my actual question is should I tell my mum and how. The thing is, his life is really ****** up and my mum thinks he's got depression, so having a girlfriend is a good thing for him because it brings up his mood a lot. Plus I never talk to him, we live in the same house but we never speak, and we hardly ever make eye contact. Also he is a half brother, and him and my dad don't get on very well. Because he told my dad that he wasn't his dad and stuff so my dad has never forgivin him for that. Should I tell? And if so how?

Question: Why do my parents think im retarted?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 12:52 PM PST

well first off let me tell you something if there something my parents are good at its talking so much stuff. first thing I asked my mom if she could help me make money. she yeld at me talking about " you better make your own money and how I better get a job. I told her you cant get a stereotypical job until I was 15 so I signed up for a website to find me a job but im only 13. next thing is how I wasn't prepared for a math test because I didn't have time to study. and the only reason I didn't have time to study was because of the job I found online. but anyways they also are heavily influenced that it was my gaming console and how video games make you stupid. when kids at my school play on their laptops playing game's all day all night and get A+ and they don't get called retarted. plus I have an A+ IN MATH. AND I GET GOOD GRADES. BUT NO IM TO STUPID TO DO ANYTHING. and they even said they were getting me a tutor because I know nothing. why do they think im so retarted. why am I so retarted?

Question: Is it Wrong That My Inner Child Is Feeling Neglected?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 12:42 PM PST

Since all i can remember from my childhood all that my parents had done between each other is yell at each other and verbal abuse one another. They always fought in front of us kids. it was very unhealthy. Father refused to get counseling with mother, They've both tried before and dad found it pointless because mother didn't use any of the solutions that was told for her to try. Long story short years passed, a HUGE breakout happened few weeks ago. dad got mad at mother over dishes, because she let the sink water run, dad told mom to turn it down or shut it off when not in use and mom said no you aren't going to control me, dad got mad and said your wasting water and were behind water payments turn it down. mom approached dad huffed her chest at him and 1 thing led to another.Mom had went into dads personal space which prevented dad to hurt mom causing him to sprain her ankle because she antagonize dad. End results police came placed dad in jail for about a day or 2 and well now hes out Because the DA felt its pointless to be placed in for a small matter over dishes and wasting water. My mom had decided to stay at her moms place for a while to cool things off, i fear there relationship may end in a divorce and my inner child is getting so many mix emotions, I'm use of them working things out and getting back together, its been 3 weeks since she came home to talk things out with dad. I fell so lost without mom being home with dad and its killing me to live in the unknown

Question: Being forced to dance?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 12:16 PM PST

I've asked this question before, but haven't really went into detail so here is another go. I've been going to dance classes since I was 3. My mom says that I wanted to go but as I child I'm sure I wanted to try everything I seen. I am now 15 and have been going since. I have lost all interest in it for the past 6 months. Even after explaining that everyday for the past 6 months to my parents they still FORCE me to go. I have been refusing to go and it always ends in heavy arguing and sometimes hitting and things being thrown. Everyday that I refuse I am threatened with "if you ever want to see your phone again get up get dressed". So of course I give in because I would like to keep my phone and other belongings. I have a vitiman D deficiency so they believe that's the cause for complete lack of interest. I am taking prescribed medication "megadoses of vitiman D" and am on a reckoned we diet, but my parents insist that in order to get better I "need" to continue going to dance. They say I am unhappy because I sick, but it is really because I made being forced to do something I have no desire to do. Today I tried to make a stand and refused to go. My phone was took and my mom shattered the screen and blamed me for making her cut her hand on the broken screen. After hours of fighting and being told the same things over and over. My dad said if I don't get up and get dressed they are sending me to a mental hospital so I can "get better". Im not sure what to do

Question: How to convince and bring up the topic of wearing a bikini this summer to my parents?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 12:03 PM PST

I m 13 years old, turning on 14 very soon. I ve always worn tankinis because I ve felt comfortable in them, but lately I ve been taking real good care of my body. I ve been eating healthy meals and exercising. Due to this, I ve obviously lost some weight, and I m becoming confident in my body, which is something I haven t felt before due to my anxiety. My friend wears bikinis, and looks amazing in them. I ve sort of hinted at my interest of wearing one that isn t inappropriate, but my family always brings up the fact that child predator s will be interested. I m nervous on how my parents, my dad especially, will react. How can I bring up my interest in wearing a bikini without coming off like I want boys attention, which isn t what I want? Or better yet, how do I convince my parents into letting me wear one for the first time? Please respond. Thank you!

Question: Am I really a jerk for not hanging out with my family?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 11:48 AM PST

I have a large family with 3 sisters and one brother. My older sister lives with her husband and baby at my grandparents house because they can't afford a place of their own yet. My family goes there and visits all the time and I don't always tag along well I do sometimes but not always. It's because every time I go there no one talks to me and if they do they criticize me in every way. They comment on my body because I'm apparently too big for them although I'm not fat I'm just short and curvy and I have really large breasts so it kind of adds onto everything, they make fun of me on my personality and my life in general and finally they beg on me just for not showing up enough and when I do show up no one even cares that I'm there! It's like they sit around and wait for me just so they can feed off me so why should I deal with it? I'm 20 years old I can make my own choices it's ridiculous.

Question: Can I really change who I am ? The damage my mom did to me ? ��?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 11:25 AM PST

So I'm 20 years old. My mom has put me through hell since I was 5 years old and even my dad know that's that's why he left her. I've been through so much emotional abuse from her,getting yelled at,like walking on egg shells around her,always getting yelled at for something I "do" or "don't do" no matter what nice things I did for her or paid for her bills it's never good enough cuz she'll snap right back to the devil. She can be my best friend then turn into my worst enemy. I moved to Florida with my dad in March and now I'm finally getting my life together ,my mom calls me EVERYDAY either trying to start a fight or she'll be calm. It's like I'm always trying to calm her down. 😒 Now she's mad that I won't move back in with her cuz I'm I want to go to school... She's instilled so much fear and anxiety in me and I'm still trying to get over it. I have a boyfriend and want a family one day and I just don't want my mom ruining my life again.... From an early age she would tell me that men are bad and that's why I always hid boyfriends from her cuz she didn't like me dating.... feel like I'm such a nervous person and I want to stop being that way 😕 It's like she STILL has a pull on me

Question: How to have a serious conversation with your boyfriend?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 11:19 AM PST

I need to talk to him about a few issues we are having. A couple about his 16 year old son missing too much school, (if he misses 12-15 days in 3 months they can put my bf in jail since he's the custodial parent), him eating us out of house and home, and what's been nothing him because he's been "off" lately. And talk to him about helping me around the house with the dogs, cleaning and throwing away his garbage (he's an adult picking up your trash SHOULD be a given) I mention these things often but I don't want to nag and even though he hears me he doesn't actually HEAR what I'm saying. He brushes it off and nothing happens. I'd like him to consider what's troubling me bc it's putting a strain on our relationship. What's the best way to go about this? His son is a touchy subject because I'm NOT a parent and I'm not his parent, but it does affect me on a daily bases.

Question: Guilt is Killing Me?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 11:11 AM PST

My then 14 year old daughter and I got into a really bad fight and our relationship was strained. After that, I moved 2 hours away to be with my boyfriend (now husband). I have been gone for 1 year now and her and I started talking and I now talk to her everyday and we tell each other we love each other everyday. My problem is I feel guilty for leaving her and I feel like I damaged her by not being there. She is now 16 and very independent. Should I still carry around this guilt?

Question: I'm adopted and i me my real father what should i do?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 11:08 AM PST

He seems like such a swell guy, he told me that the reason he didn't raise me is because my mother died and he wasn't mature enough to raise a child on his own. And now i dont know if i should accept him as my real father. It would be ungrateful to my father who raised me. And I don't know if it would offend him to consider them both my real fathers when one didn't even raise me. a typo on the title. "I met* my real father"

Question: Are we being unreasonable with our daughter? I don't feel we are asking too much of her!?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 10:18 AM PST

My company will not allow ANYONE to take any days off from Mid Feb - Mid March due to some stupid company training. My husband has limited vacation time as well. My daughter also works full time & lives with us. Rent free I might add! Our new washing machine broke! It's now been broke for 3 weeks. My husband took the day off the first Friday that the repair man was coming to fix it. (Couldn't be fixed) Last week my daughter took off & even with the new part, washer still couldn't be fixed. My daughter took today off as well for delivery of a new dryer. Apparently the truck has been damaged in Florida so now we have to wait until next week to get the delivery My daughter flipped out at my husband & I. She refuses to take another day off of work next week for the delivery! We don't ask our daughter to pay rent & we feel this is the LEAST she can do for us until the dryer gets fixed. She explained she can't keep taking days off every week with little notice to her boss & that she would be doing so now for 3 weeks in a row! They says they can't deliver on Saturdays or Sunday's either! Are we being unreasonable with our daughter? I don't feel we are asking too much of her!

Question: Is it wrong to use your step dad for gifts?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 10:15 AM PST

My mom recently got together with another man and he can tell i'm not so approving so he tries to win me over with stuff. I subtly drop hints about what I want, saying things like "My dad said I couldn't have this phone, *sigh*" and then he'd buy it for me like the next week or something. I've started to feel guilty, but why should I? Everyone else is getting something from this relationship, why can't I? Besides, i'm the real victim here. My parents are divorced and i'm sad, I deserve all of this anyway.

So, I make 100 euros a year by doing chores around the houses. Except for that I get about 200 euros worth of birthday presents, and 200 euros worth of Christmas presents. I am twelve years old, and I never had pocket money, but I do chores for money. So total it is 500 euro because: 100 euro (from chores) +400 euro (from birthday and christmas total) =500

Question: My parents have divorced and I feel like I am the only person in the world with a dysfunctional family, what do I do to accept this?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:42 AM PST

I am 14 and my mother refuses to let me talk to an expert or therapist, she says they won't fix it. She also trashes my father to me and my father is the extreme office and won't say anything about my feelings whereas my mother just says "look what my ex did to him" when my mother filed for divorce.

Question: I HATE my Dad!?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:36 AM PST

My dad is literally the rudest and most annoying person on earth! He says hat he can control when I have to go to the bathroom and when I'm hungry or thirsty! He also thinks it isn't healthy to spend time alone. Seriously? It isn't healthy to constantly spend time with people, and I'm pretty sure the people he constantly wants to talk to get tired of it. My dad also signs me up for stupid classes all of the time, and whenever I tell him one thing that I like, he takes it way too far! He spent 70 dollars on markers when he saw me drawing when I was bored! He has an awful girlfriend too, but I don't hate him because of his girlfriend, because the feelings of hatred started before they started dating. She also is very rude and annoying, she forces her four year old daughter onto my sister and I. Nor the girlfriend or my dad let her play by herself, which will badly affect he girl later in life. The girlfriend has a lot of dumb policies like "no spongebob," I gtet that for the little one, but for me? I don't even watch spongebob, but it is a kid show for ages 9 and above! I have talked to my mom about this but she won't let stay at her house on the weekends because I "need" my dad in my life. I don't need a dad like him in my life!

Question: How do I get my mother to stop nagging me for seeing people she dislikes (I am an adult and out living on my own)?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:06 AM PST

I try not to tell her when I see them but occasionally she finds out. She dislikes so many people that I can't keep up and a lot of them I like. She has a personality where she loves half the population and is wonderful and caring and she hates the other half and bitter and wants to spread the hate. The negative side is where she and I run into problems as she wants me to have her bitterness also.

Question: How to quit my job?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 07:59 AM PST

I want to quit my night job and get a day one. Working nights is screwing up my entire life. I don't have another job lined up yet but I can't take it anymore. I have a phone bill and credit card to pay but I'm thinking about paying my entire credit card off which will take two weeks. Then pay off my contract with my phone company and not have a phone anymore until I can get another job. I live with my mom and siblings, older and younger. I'm just in a black hole right now and I just want to start fresh. Do you think this is a good idea? I also don't have my license yet. My mom drives me to work. I have no friends. I just feel like I have no life when working nights. I can't seem to get used to it. I've had this job for almost a year. Month of May, will be a year. I know my mom will get PISSED if I quit because then I can't give her money. It's a long a** story. Family troubles, father left, etc. it's a long story. But I am just getting fed up with life. Not only because of working nights but everything. I feel so different. My family is just different. It's just too hard to explain but I feel I am working for no reason because I can't even keep my money I earn. My mom works two jobs every single day(no days off unless she puts in which she never does except in summer) We barely make bill payments. My dad left us all in debt from his mistakes. He pays child support but his checks suck!(same as when he lived here) My mom tries hard to win the lottery. never lucky.

Question: Why my forehead is tense everytime he comes home from work? because he was abusive?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 07:52 AM PST

I'm just trying to understand why I'm tense.. i feel it physically and i don't think I like him coming at home, he ruined me, caused many mental disorders, he shuts me by beating me all the time since age 6.. i can't talk freely. if i won't answer his "How are you doing" but stay silent because i don't want to talk to him, he'll get mad and say i shouldn't be at home, forcing me to speak to a monster.. My forehead is tense everytime he comes back from work, i can't relax it even.. why is that happening?

Question: Family envy?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 07:09 AM PST

I have a cousin is the fruit no she's 30 years old and I'm in my 20s I would like to go to grad school but I don't want her to know be us she got some reason can be envious and I don't want her 'wishing' me anything bad I just want her out of my business. My mom knows and won't tell anyone especially my cousin. But my dad might say something cuz that's just how he is an he thinks it's not a big deal but it is for ME. I do have a little story when I first started college a few years ago I was a nursing major and my cousin was thinking about going to school for nursing so she was telling me how difficult it is blah blah blah and making it seem like I'm stupid but I can't do it. And I didn't like that obviously. And there were a few times where she talked about me behind my back one time in particular when I ended up finding out because my aunt told me. This cousin is on my dads side of the family by the way him and I live with my dad my mom is in another state. How do I handle this? Sorry for so many typos in the first sentence ignore when I said is the fruit no. Ultimately what I'm trying to say is how do I handle the situation I want to go to grad school and my mom knows that I want to go and I don't want my cousin to know any of my business with my education. I would like to tell my dad about my career goals but I feel like he might end up telling his family which includes the cousin I'm talking about and I don't want them to know. I don't want him to tell them anything he can be talkative and he may seem like this is not a big deal but it is for me

Question: How to deal with the requests of a grieving/depressed person?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 06:34 AM PST

Long story short, but I am living temporarily with a person, who has lost a dear person 4 months ago. She also doesn t dare to go out alone, yet she should be moving to her own place in less than 6 months. She has been asking us to rearrange furniture to suit her tastes, so she can spend more time with her pets while playing with her computer. She refuses to even try to teach her pet to be in her own room, and she ignores it that the pet does not need her to be in the same room all day. She ignores it that we do not want to rearrange the furniture, and that her computer smells of cigarettes (we do not smoke). According to her we deny her the smallest thing that would bring her happiness.. but she still continues to blame us for ignoring her, while she herself ignores our preferences (it is OUR house). She has ignored all but one of our attempts to compromise. She also entirely ignores the grief of her son, which I cannot accept, and claims that in her grief we should just do what she asks. She also refuses to even try to walk out on her own. She is getting help from a psychologist, but i cannot tell how honest she is there. I am getting tired of her literally crying over this for a few weeks now, and of making me feel bad and guilty. Am I that bad? Should I just give up and let it be.. or is she trying to manipulate me? Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Question: Should I invite my parents to graduation?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 06:22 AM PST

I haven't spoken to anyone in my family in more than a year. I miss them at times, and still love them of course, but the relationships were so unhealthy I had to distance myself. I'm graduating with my BA soon, and I've been really conflicted about whether to invite them or not. Especially because I plan on moving out of the country for my MA. I think it might be a good time to reconcile things, but at the same time I don't know if I'm ready to do it. They didn't really contribute to my education or college experience, so I don't feel like I owe them because they paid or supported me or anything. But they are my parents and I feel like they deserve to go simply for that reason. Is that a good enough reason though? Please help! I'm so conflicted. I'd love to hear some opinions/advice. And please don't be judgmental about my relationship with them, it has not been an easy one. Thanks.

Question: My dad verbal abuses me and just feel like i'm not growing as a person?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 06:06 AM PST

It started when I was about 12. He would say I stink, or call me dummy. One time He sprayed water on me for being "dumb"... (like i was a dog)... and he would always say things like i'm not doing anything right... and he calls me dumb so much I believe him. I'm 18 and I'm just starting to learn how to drive and driving with him is so hard, because any mistake I make he calls me names, and he expects me to know things about driving that I was never taught. He embarrassed me at the gas station for not parking the car correctly. He's just so rude...He'll call me embarrassing and make me feel small as a person... But he's like that with everyone in the household especially my mom. I feel like as his daughter he should treat me better, and stop controlling and belittling me but he doesn't get it. My mom doesn't stand up for herself... it's just hard being bullied or abused at home.

Question: Why do my parents never buy me anything online?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 05:53 AM PST

It's really frustrating. For example. Right now there's a sale on smite in which the skin named "Swagni" is for a really cheap price. It would be only 3 damn euros. But my dad says he doesn't have any money on his credit card and mom says 3 euros is too little to pay with credit card. This is really annoying. And it's been always like this. When i had my 14th birthday i asked for a LoL themed shirt and 2 wristbands from wish.com , but "online shops cant be trusted". Are they honestly that paranoid or do they just hate me? Also, most of the time i have also offered them money back, but i dont have my own visa/mastercard so i have to offer them real life money, which they dont accept. This update is for Isra, I can get the wish.com thing. But the second thing which costs just 3 euros is not something you can buy from a store. It's an item for one of the worlds most played video games that is usually over 6 euros.

Question: My mom refuses to talk to me and I'm an adult?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 05:09 AM PST

Two days ago I called my mom and we got into an argument. She got angry because she said I was yelling at her even though I wasn't. I talking in a firm voice, but definitely not yelling. She kept accusing me of having an attitude and then finally hung up on me and blocked my number. Now I cannot call or text her. I live in a different state so this is a big deal because her cell is the only way I can contact her. If I call my dad or sisters they tell me they don't want to be involved and refuse to relay any messages. I finally got sick of my mom's childish crap and deleted her from Facebook because I feel like it's the only control I have over the situation. I woke up this morning feeling guilty about deleting her, but then realized that she doesn't feel guilty for how she treats me, she feels justified. Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy.. So I'd like to know if this is normal or not?

Question: How can I get my parents to calm down?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 04:22 AM PST

My parents are always yelling at me about my grades. Its only halfway through the semester. They're better now than they were last semester (halfway through). Everything is being taken away from me. The things everyone said would happen are true. I am constantly being told I should be pulled from the school (by my parents. They don't understand how much stress I am under constantly and how I am trying. They don't seem to care though.This happened last semester too. They freaked out halfway and I ended up passing all of my classes.

Question: My dad won't let me do anything?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 03:46 AM PST

I'm a 16 year old girl and my dad is so overprotective and overbearing. First of all he won't let me spend the night at any of my friends houses, and questions everything I do. I'm not allowed to drive somewhere without him knowing about it he doesn't let me drive by myself to the movies or anywhere fun even though I have my license. I wanted to join dance, he wouldn't let me because the costumes are "too revealing". I tried to join my school's swim team and he won't let me do that either and I have no idea why. He reads through my text messages whenever he feels like it. And of course, I'm not allowed to date or even talk to boys. Even though he had tons of girlfriends as a teenager and in his 20's and wasn't exactly a perfect angel. I can't wear shorts that are above my knees and can't wear bikinis to the beach without a cover up. This is getting insane and I don't know what to do. Any advice?

Question: Is it wrong for my brother to kiss my neck?

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 03:19 AM PST

But today my friend was over and my brother came back from his hockey training and i went to greet him and i kissed him and he nibbled my ear a bit then went to take a shower. then my friend was like is that your boyfriend? he is cute. And i laughed and said no its my brother dumbo :) but she she suddenly got like weirded out and said that i shouldnt kiss my brother thats its weird and i was confused why and she just said sisters shouldnt kiss their brothers....... im confused, is there something wrong with that?? i asked my brother and he said its perfectly normal and my friend was probably just jealous or being childish Mostly on mouth.... why does it matter? no really anon i just want to know if there is something wrong with this. I personaly dont see anything wrong with it, but my friend got all worked up about how wrong it is...... pls give me some real opinions Thanks anon :) if my friend makes a wuss about it next time too i just tell her to mind her own busines, or maybe show her your answer here. Still thanks :) i feel much better and relived now

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 02:24 AM PST

Im having trouble getting myself to eat vegetables. When i eat them, it makes me feel like throwing up. The action is a reflex, its out of my conscious control. I was thinking my clinical doctor would point me to the right direction, but my parents said NO. They said BS like, "its either you eat it or not, a doctor won t help you"

Question: Would you delete a picture of you and two girls you used to know if your girlfriend asks you to?

Posted: 25 Feb 2016 11:37 PM PST

My girlfriend wants me to delete an old picture of me and two girls taken on a carnval party. She said the two girls are hugging me and it is unfair towards her keeping these kind of pictures. I told her that it is a fun picture and a nice memory (it is not as if they were my ex girlfriends or anything like that, i just used to work with them), but she still wants me to delete it.

Question: What should I do if my brother is violent?

Posted: 25 Feb 2016 11:06 PM PST

Hi there, I am a big sister to five kids, and one of my younger brother who is nine is very violent. When he gets angry he will usually kick and mess things up. My other young brothers, ages five and two, are the ones are usually beaten up by him. He would push them into doors and chairs for no reason. But sometimes my brother who is five, he would get punched and kicked at, and whenever I try to tell him off, he would then proceed to kick and punch at me. Recently he has bought himself a mini switch knife, and he threatened me and my other younger brothers when we did something he did not like. I am at my wits end trying to deal with him. So please if you have any advice please let me know. Thank you.

Question: Nobody in my life loves me?

Question: I think my brother wants to have sex with me?

Posted: 25 Feb 2016 10:52 PM PST

we are both 16. My twin brother always hugs me a lot and tells me things like i love you sis. I think he might be falling in love with me and i know what incest is its wrong. How can i explain him its not ok to be in love with your sister?? He also helps me with my chores at home and sometimes buys me little gifts. No Rory he never spyed on me, as long as i know. But arent things like saying i love you, giving gifts and helping things that a boy does to his crush / girlfriend / wife?? I saw boys who treat their girlfriends worse then my brother treats me.... im really worried he has a crush on me, why else would he want to spend time with me and tell everyone he loves his sister

Question: My stepbrother is being ungrateful- how can I get him to be more thankful of the life he has?

Posted: 25 Feb 2016 10:39 PM PST

My stepbrother and I are both 13. His mom and my dad both cheated and got together.my "dad" immediately went from a loving father to someone always trying to impress her. He started defending and choosing my stepbrother and stepsister over my real sister and I. He would brag about their accomplishments to us and tell us we're crap compared to them and such. also my brother passed away when I was 9 or so and it hurt me really bad inside My stepsiblings didn't even know my brother since they got together when I was 11. At my moms, I live with my grandparents and mom and sister all in a 1000 square foot house. Between all this, My emotional side has really taken a toll. Well the other day, my stepbrother comes in my room and starts complaining about how "bad" his life is. *He said it's hard for his because he gets sick a lot -I actually gets sicker, but I'm not babyish. He takes an inch and turns it into a mile. *he said it's hard for him because he has asthma and allergies -umm I have type 1 diabetes and get poked 700million times a day and have asthma *its hard for his because he didn't know my brother and can't be sad about him too -no just no *he claims his mom is overprotective -he says tht bc his mom takes him to the doctor when he's sick or hurt. My dad just tells me to walk it off. *he says I get treated better than him -let's take Christmas He got a mac book air and hover board thing I got a north face. What can I do to get him to appreciate what he has?

Question: Just found out that my 12 year old brother watches p**n... Should I talk to him?

Posted: 25 Feb 2016 09:49 PM PST

My 14 year old brother came up to me today and told me that he saw a bunch of p**n websites on my younger brother's history. My 12 year old brother also put a sign on his door that basically says he locks his door between 10pm and 10am, and not to bother him between those times. As his older sister, I don't want him to grow up thinking that p**n and passionate, loving sex are the same thing (if you know what I mean). Should I talk to him? My 14 year old brother and I are the only ones that know. Should I tell my mom? What should I do?

Question: How do I handle my mom's abuse?

Posted: 25 Feb 2016 09:39 PM PST

My mom and I used to be close but just aren't anymore. The older I get (in my mid-20s now) the less she wants anything to do with me. I live in a diff state and call her daily. She usually makes excuses for why she "has" to get off of the phone after less than 5 mins. If we ever argue or fight (usually started by her pushing at my buttons until I react) she blocks my number so that I can't' contact her. She's also always making hurtful remarks about how I need to change. She comments on my weight A LOT. She's always been overweight and is now dieting so thinks that gives her a reason to ridicule me. She's constantly blaming me for things that aren't even my fault at all.. Like getting mad at ME for things my little sister does/says. I want to have a relationship with her, but she's making it impossible. I recently deleted her from Facebook because i got sick of her blocking my calls/texts and don't think it's fair for her to do that and then act like everything is fine once she cools down. She's so fake.. On Facebook she's always acting like we get along so well and like she's a great mother, but doesn't even want anything to do with me half of the time. If I call her to talk about a problem I'm having (with work, friends, life, etc) she tells me k need to see a counselor because she doesn't want to hear about that kind of stuff. I definitely don't feel like most moms are like that?

My dad is getting remarried and my Nana passed away. I am thinking of surprising him with a "mother son" dance and starting to dance with my dad, then my sister cuts in, then his fiance then her mom. I am trying to think of what song/songs to dance to so he knows she is there spiritually but not physically. Any song suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
