To make a long story short a few years ago my boyfriend and I sunk quite a bit of money into moving over 1000mi to help my grandmother take care of her mom, my great grandmother in exchange for free rent in my great grandmothers old home they moved out of years ago. I myself ended up getting into a life altering car accident. Since I'm no longer able to help her and she had to hire someone back around when the accident happened she wants rent, makes sense. I haven't been able to renovate or change anything, it's an old house and needs work. I also wasn't allowed to choose which bedroom I used. If I'm going to be paying rent now I feel like that should get me some freedom in changing the interior up a little bit. They rarely come over to the house. Maybe once a month or less. We usually go see them. They aren't there to enjoy the decor day to day. I have to deal with it. Seriously I've gone 3 years without a dishwasher and would love to knock out some cabinets to add one. Standing at a sink doing dishes with metal and a 5 level fusion in your back is horrid. Wouldn't it be a fair trade for me to be able to trade rooms and finally fix up the house if I'm going to be paying rent now?

if youre in a certain situation something might be wrong,but your used to things and you will always find a way,though the negative...family never listen to your side,you have your side...but family always tells you what to do and never listens to you,they think you should just ingest what they say and be empty and not have a side,while they can talk and teach you all they want..talk talk talk coz they know better and they wont listen to your side...why is that happening...i do not want that..they always say "youre where you are coz you dont listen to me"...why is that...anyone get this

If you want to talk to your granddaughter on the phone (she's 3). Send a text to the mom (daughter in law) thats just says, "Let her call me" or "I wanna talk to her" or "I need her to call me please." or "I need to hear her voice". And this is on a daily basis. Thanks, but I'm actually the Mom lol! My mother in law is the one that texts me this Daily. Expecting me to drop everything at that time and call her for my daughter.

She made my boyfriend cheat on me. She works in a stripper club and because she looks identical to me people think I'm a slut like her...I've tried changing my appearance but people still think I'm her when I'm not..I keep getting calls from strange people and I'm sometimes stalked by strangers....I don't know what to do anymore... someone please help... I'm heart broken..

When I was a kid, my dad tried forcing to me to eat meat. I naturally don't like the taste of it, and I never have. The smell of cooked meat stinks and it makes me gag. After I was gagging and almost vomited, my dad took me to the bathroom and he beat me with a belt. I had welts and bruises on me.

Lets say you had a fairly good income. Enough to support you and your girlfriend/wife/partner. Would you care if, when you had kids, your partner stayed home to take care of them? Would you expect them to clean, do laundry, have dinner ready, run errands, etc. or would you just want them to focus on watching the children?

I live with parents and dad doesn't care about me. There was a point he left the family and moved back in. My sister also lives with parents and he loves my sister. I try and do what i can but whatever i do he hates me. It's like he thinks i'm stupid or something. Don't say move out because if i could i would. But i am going to move out but it wouldn't solve the dysfunctional family.

I just started sophomore year and I joined a frat. We do a LOT of beer drinking. Lot's of fun. I am athletic, I weight lift and whatnot. I'm pretty buff, even had a six pack. But in the last few months I've gained around 20lbs give or take. I was 190, now I'm around 210-12lbs. So now, I have a little bit of a beer belly and love handles on my back. I still lift just as much, and my eating is the same. So, it doesn't take a genius to see that it's the extra calories from all the beer. And I do mean a LOT of beer. I don't mind a little extra fat on my body. So, I'll probably end up gaining even more weight before summer time. It's cold right now, as it's February, so I can wear sweaters and whatnot now when I'm home for the holidays to cover it up. But my family has a backyard pool we use every summer. So when I come home for summer vacation I will be expected to take off my shirt. My family will see that I've gone from a ripped 190lbs to a doughy/buff 240+- lbs. WHAT DO I DO? HOW do I talk my way out of this?? I'M NOT LOOKING TO LOSE WEIGHT! I just want to know what to say to my family when I take my shirt off this summer and see the beer belly. PLEASE be nice. This is a serious question. I haven't been overeating... it's all beer. I actually have a really healthy diet...except the beer.

He's always so mean to me and literally locks me in my room and yells things to me even when I don't do anything

Long story short: My grandparents raised me, and my grandpa passed away unexpectedly. After his passing and graduating my Masters from London, England, I moved home to America to help my family. BIG mistake. Now I am living here, miserably, for 7 months now STUCK... because of my uncle (my grandpa's brother). Basically my uncle is now sick with potential lung cancer (and he lives alone, has always been manipulative, has nobody besides few family members, and can get nasty). I have been planning to move to California as there are film jobs there that I can find over on the East Coast. But, my uncle is threatening that if I move out to California he will cut me out of his life (including the fact that I signed a 70k annuity of his, he gives me a monthly allowance, and his house (all paid for) will eventually go in my grandmothers name, to then be put in my name)...all of which I didn't ask for but am grateful). What would YOU do in this situation? A) Suck it up and accept his offer of paying half your rent in the city. But this city you are not fond of and grew up in most of your life. Your time in this city is unknown as not sure how long he has to live. But, you will have a 70k + perks to your name when he passes. B) Say screw this and move to California but be cut out forever and receive no 70k+ annuity + perks. For Frank: Currently I live at home with my grandma, half-brother, mother (who is expecting another child from some random dude. I also have four jobs, a nanny to two families, work at wholefoods and work on Sunday mornings as a receptionist. For Lone Cat: I signed the physical document for the 70k annuity

He's really mean to me.. What do I do please answer😰

She goes on casual dates with people she met online. She's smart on meeting them in a public place, but sometimes she will get in their cars & do some stuff (if u know what I mean). My sister smokes vape & mainly anything with nicotine (she's addicted, but sometimes says she wants to stop). She has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) & will do rational things at times. She's very depressed & says 1 of her persona's is taking over. She feels like the black sheep, useless & feels like she was never loved. We had an adopted dad who raised us as if we were his own since she was a baby. She met her real father once & apparently he just stood there & stared at her. Did nothing. Didn't say anything. I know it hurt her bad cause she cried for days about it. He never even told any1 she existed & she knew her father was mad she found them which I think she feels like it's her fault for finding them & wanting a relationship with his children. He also never showed up when she was born. I think she has daddy issues cause she dates men who have children & now she's gonna move in with a man she met online & be his sex Slave. She wishes she was dead. Not suicidal, but just depressed. Wondering if maybe school & work are getting to her. She's 19, what can we do?

I moved away from my mom when she got remarried 5 months and a half ago and now tax season is here and my parents are fighting over it. I don t want either of them to be disappointed and I already tried convincing both of them to back down. They both already claimed me and my mom says she will get the taxes because I lived with her 6 months ago. Please help. They don t seem to care more about me they care more for the money. My mom currently is financially stable and my dad is struggling a little

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs8B-sgdQp8 It's beyond me why her mom puts up with her. She's 25-30 years old on welfare, obviously on drugs, obviously never graduated high school, never wants to get a job, she's making her moms life a living hell. I would have physically kicked her a$$ out of my house, if she talked to me like that. Would you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rDhgQKeaHs

My sister was hit by a car and is in hospital, and expected to be there for at least a month. I thought it would be nice to have a present for her when she comes back, and was wondering if you have any ideas :) Tom

First I apologize because I wasn t sure how to word the "question" above. I know the first things some of you will say is dreaming to become a pro gamer is a bad decision and not worth it, but I do well in school I m going to college. But I still want to be a pro Call of Duty player, I m willing to make consistent YouTube videos as well as grind the game but my parents do not allow this. They constantly make me do chores everyday after school when I finish with my homework, so it s hard to make time to play games. For a couple of months, when I would do my homework and finish I would pretend that I was still doing my homework but i was actually playing CoD. They have caught on to that now so they have limited me to play once on weekdays and once on the weekends. That is definitely not enough time so now I had sacrificed sleep by playing until 2Am on school nights. But just last night my mom caught me trying to go to my basement and playing. My parents are always wanting us to be together which is fine but their definition of fun is chores and reading. My mom thinks video games are like the devil. What can I do?! This is my passion, this what I want to do but my parents are holding me back. I m not saying I want to play 24/7 because I understand that is unhealthy so I make sure to lift with friends for an hour after school and I m involved in clubs and sports but my parents are so restricting. Please help

I got an apartment when I was 18. I moved out with my daughter because my parents were trying to tell me how to raise my daughtr and stuff I didn't agree with. I fought with my parents and I wanted my own place so I could be away from them. A year later I'm taking my dog down 3 floors of stairs at 7 am tired and lazy. Lonley bored all my money goes to baby sitting and rent. I can't afford tv. My daughter plays with toys and I play with her and text for entertainment. I buy cheap food with food stamps and wic. My dog shouldn't even be here I haven't paid pet deposit and she needs her shots and spayed before she can stay. Thats why I sneak her down the stairs. I love her and refuse to get rid of her. My parents wouldn't be a problem too much if tyey didn't baby my daughter so much I can't even potty train her. And my dog can't be at my parents house while I'm at work

So talking about child behavior, I did a study. I came to the conclusion that children who are young usually are more well behaved and intelligent when they are born into families that have people that are well educated and so forth. For example a child will eat healthier and be exposed to a healthier environment if their parents eat right and are educated on healthy eating. Thoughts?

Mainly unresolved family conflicts, what works for you?

I'm 23 years old and I do not like alcohol. I can't stand the taste at all. However, my mother and her fiancée keep trying to get me to start drinking. They keep saying things like "what are you going to do when you start dating and a guy wants to have a drink?" and "you need to build up your tolerance level for when you start going out on dates" I have no desire to drink. None at all. I don't like it at all. So how do I tell them nicely to knock it off?

My niece is in hospital due to a head injury and keeps waking herself up and panicking.. The nurses are doing their best to comfort her.. Any ideas of what I could try?? She's 10

My daughter is constantly rebelling and I'm tired of it. She's in that rebellious 16 year old phase and it's not fun. I'm a single dad and God forbid she make my life easier knowing I have no parental backup. I don't think I'm strict, but, I like things tidy. If I ask her to pick up her backpack, we fight. If I ask her to put her shoes away we fight. We fight about clothes. I feel that she gets far to skimpy and she insists " Everyone wears this." We fight about school, her getting a job, curfews, phones at dinner. I'm just tired. what do I do?

So I have seen this video a few weeks ago and now I can't find it anymore. The video is about two little brothers ( they are asians, I think, I might be wrong). The boys are poor and they go to cars salong for food or drinks and one women gives them a Apple drink, I think and so they go to some stairs sit there and open the bottle. The think is that the big brother just pretends to drink it and then gives it all to his little brother. A very touching video! So please can someone help me find it???

Omg I'm so angry!! Last night my cousin was masturbating . On . My . Bed!! Sorry if I sons dramatic rn. I came home from school and she was coming to visit from college. She hugged me and stuff and acted normal that afternoon. Night time rolled around and there had been some bickering here and there, nothing serious the worst thing we fought about before the incident was about what we would have for dinner. Now, before this gets interesting, I have no problem with her masturbating in my room, in my house or at all. But she didn't clean up and it was a mess! She had fluid all over and lubricant on my pillow case!! I walked into my room a few hours later to do my homework when I saw her with a fricking soda bottle up her vagina and she was sitting on top!! I told her get off my bed because she was gonna stain it and if she wants to do it she can do it in the guest room. So she says no and grabs a picture frame off my wall and threw it at my head. I'm only in middle school and I took her and I shoved her against the wall and she said if you tell anyone she would have her boyfriend come over and then she made me let go, and left. What should I do? Should I tell of no?

He is 3 years old. I took him to a daycare when he was 1 year old. He didn't like his daycare. I changed his daycare but still he has the same problem. When he wakes up, the first thing that he asks me is " Please don't take me to the Daycare". Please share your experience to help

Yesterday I was sick and now I feel better, it was just a stomach ache. But now my mom won't let me go to our school festival, for Mardi Gras (we don't celebrate it on the actual day.) she knows I'm not that sick anymore and she originally said I can go but now I can't!! Please help! Thank you in advance!!

It seems that today so many "mothers" want to leave the home and go out into the workforce. They put their children in daycare in the hands of strangers as both the mother and father go off to work. What has happened to women today? What happened to a mother being a mother? It is very sorrowful and heartbreaking that children today no longer have their mothers. Women today feel the need to go out and start a career, but they have forgotten that the ultimate career is motherhood, not leaving your children in the hands of strangers.

We have a very smart 11 year old daughter. I do not know why, but he let's her use his phone to text me. Whenever she wants. She is on it a lot and I have sent him information in the past about sensitive topics. She was sick and off school yesterday, and I asked how she was. I received a text back stating "it's me mom I'm fine dad is in the shower and gave me his phone to play on, I wish you two wouldn't fight so much and does grama really have cancer?" I have asked him time and time again to not let her scroll through adult messages. I just received notice she was crying at school over the news of my mom's cancer. He NEVER picks up when I call so I text. She also respects no one's privacy and I've caught her trying to unlock my personal phone. Help?

I live in turkey and the timing of turks is sh*t. If i walk down to the cargo company and say to them bring it here at this exact time, i will definatly get caught by my parents. Anyway im planning on getting an ipad and i dont want my parents to know, it looks amazingly similar to the tablet i have at home and they probarly wouldnt know its a new tablet. Delivery is the only problem...

I just missed my bus because my step dad made me mad and I needed the time I didn't have to calm down. I missed my bus and I don't know if I should walk or what I just don't know the area too much.

It's about my younger brother (Max), so, our neighbors have a girl (Olivia), and ever since they were kids, they were together all the time, they were the best of friends, and by the time he was 15, they told their feelings to each other, they were both in love, so they started dating, Max loved Olivia more than anything, he treated her like a queen, he never did anything to hurt her, he did everything he could to make her as happy as possible, she was his whole life, both of them loved each other like nothing else, at some point of time he even told my mom that he wanted to marry her when they're older, he told my mom that she is the girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with, they continued dating for 3 years, and about a month ago, Olivia died in a car accident, Max was heart broken, I never saw him like this before, for 3 weeks, 3 weeks, he NEVER got out of his room, he never went to school, he was just there crying his heart out on his bed, he was devastated, we couldn't do anything about it, no one could make him feel better, one week ago, my best friend came to visit, she knew about what happened to Max, she went there to his room to try and make him feel better, she loved Max a lot and never gave up on trying to help him, somehow, she managed to do so, Max finally got out of his room. After 2 weeks, this was the first time he got out of his room. The next day he went to school, he wasn't ready, I told my parents but they forced him to go, his girlfriend's sister was in that school too, she stayed with him all the time because she knew he was still heart broken, anyway, one of the guys there always bullied Max, he saw him and went to bully him, Max told him to back off, and that guy told him "What? are you mad because your gf is a dead b*tch", Max lost it, he punched him and broke his nose. That guy was bleeding so bad they had to rush him to the hospital, Max got suspended for that, and now, it's happening again, he won't get out of his room, I can hear him cry at night, I remember the times when he used to tell her that she was his whole world, and now he lost her, I don't know what to do anymore, Max is still heart broken over what happened, what am I supposed to do?? I really want to help him but I can't, nothing I do works. My older brother is really no help at all, I mean he doesn't know how to deal with this situation, me and my mom have been trying to make him feel better but nothing works. I hate seeing my little brother like that, I hate seeing him look so weak and helpless, please help me what am I supposed to do, I just want my brother to be happy again.

I told my parents something really hurtful and I feel like **** for being such a selfish brat who only thinks about how I feel rather than thinking about them too. It s dinner time but I don t have the face to sit and eat with them. At this point I want to kill myself. HELP ME PLEASE.

I like this guy at a job at a warehouse. I barely started working there again since last week. I work only on the weekends. The area I get assigned to work is the same area the guy I like mostly works at but since he has a higher position sometimes he's not there and is busy all over the place. But he talks a lot to the guys in that area and all of a sudden they all look at me and try talking to me. How can I find the chance to talk to him? How do I be his friend without being creepy? Guys and girls work there but I only see him speak to guys. Once he was near me and I turned back a little to glance at him and we both made eye contact then he looked away to the person he was talking to. I need advice I'm not experienced with boys I'm 18 out of highschool.

I'm going to try my best not to sound immature here. Sorry if this sounds like a rant. So I'm a 13 year old girl, and seriously... I'd like to be home alone once in a while. It's not that I want to have sex or do anything illegal, dangerous, etc. I just want some alone time where I can do my stuff without worrying about people looking over my shoulder. And most importantly, I want to sing. I actually love singing and doing song covers, but it's my embarrassing secret and I would prefer it to be kept that way. However, that means I can only sing loudly when my parents aren't home! Which is like.... almost never! And when I finally get time, something always gets in the way - Either I have too much homework to even enjoy myself a little, or my throat goes dry. And I'm forced to attend extra classes after school on most days. My mom doesn't work, and neither does my dad anymore, since he quit his job to take care of my grandfather more often. So I often see him at home. When it's not my dad at home, it's my mom. It often goes the other way round as well - There's always a parent at home. I'm not trying to say I hate my parents and don't want to see them - It's their house, their rules, I have to respect them. They spent a lot of money raising me, and have taken care of me and given me a roof over my head. Of course I'm thankful for that. Of course I love my parents. But it's just that I want to be home alone more often... Is this bad?...

My little sister is 11 im 17 and today she said when she will be older she wants to marry her big brother. Should i get her some mental help or is this normal? thanks cake, btw what do you mean It is not unheard of..... that sentence doesnt make much sence to me XD or maybe i rly suck at gramar

if I am too impatient. When I bring them to my house as much as I try to prepare and move little precious items out of their path, they always seem to find things and I end up having to tell them many times over not to touch certain things. Even if I have toys set aside they always want something else that they shouldn't have. Then when I tell them they cant come over the oldest will call me names... And even taking them to the store or restaurant they are the loudest, out of control (in that they are always run around). Even at places like chuck cheese they seem like ingrates because when it is time to leave they have fits. Typical?

I know it's kind of stupid since I'm 20 and my 14 yr old brother hits me, it's a big age diffrence but honestly I'm not as big as you think, I'm 5'0 tall and he is about the same. My is brother bad, he doesn't go to school, he's been to court several times for truancy but he doesn't care, he has missed a semester of school literally, yet my mom still defends him, and babies him. He talks back to her! he sleeps all day, awake all night! On the other hand, I go to college and work, BACK TO MY QUESTION, I don't know what to do for him to stop hitting me? My brother will get mad for anything, he will even pretend like he's going to hit me and I flinch and he just laughs and makes fun. Or he will tell me, "Shut up because I feel like punching you already". He has hit me for stupid reasons, and I swear he hits hard for his age. He has bruised my leg and once he punched me so many times on the head and on the side of my face that he left like some medium sized lumps on my head and forehad, about 3 bumps. And my nose was swollen. I try to grab him but he pins me down and pulls my hair. I don't think I should go through this, and Honestly there is nowhere else I can move into with other family members. And I barely make it with my checks to pay for my car and gas, phone, and school books. I've tried talking to my mom but she doesn't really care. ANYONE KNOW WHAT I CAN DO? PLEASE!I'm tired of him treating me like that & with no respect. Hitting me and calling me names just for fun.

When my grandpa passed that things went downhill. Two of my aunts (who are sisters) started hating everyone on my grandma's side, me included, no one hardly visits her house anymore, and my grandma is more demanding, controlling, overly attached, too dependent, and manipulative. Mind you, she is 78 yrs. old and can move around on her own if arthritis isn't bothering her. The same is with my mom, 57, even being overprotective, strict, controlling, using guilt trips, and throws her anger/frustration out on me, even yelling and slapping me for no reason. Over the years and through my school years, I became bitter, distant, and resentful towards them. I know I can't change them, and I still deal with this. I have clinical depression, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and a weakened immune system ever since I was 13 because of this hell. I'm 23 with no license (yet), and no where to get away from them. I have to stay with grandma 'cause she 'dislikes living alone 'cause she's afraid someone will break into her house'. We live on the countryside around old family people for ****'s sake. I had little to no trust and no freedom from my mom because she's always saying about 'the world isn't safe' and 'this generation ain't what it used to be'.I absolutely HATE being grandma's primary caregiver, which, my mom told me that that's what I have to be for her, too, because my brother, 31, won't help 'cause he's always out somewhere with his girlfriend, but I only told her, "We'll see'. I don't think I can endure this any longer, but I'm so poor that I feel trapped. I feel so empty and I don't even say "I love you" unless prompted to or just grunt. I'm so stressed and just want to cry until I just die in my sleep or go out into the cornfield away from the house and commit suicide. Any advice or help or anything really would do because I'm hopeless... (I wish I could say more off my chest, but yahoo's limited word count won't let me.)

im 16

the title pretty much says it all. ever since the day i was born my dad hasn't really been there for me/much of a father to me. when i was very young my parents went through a nasty divorce, and like most children (and due to the fact the only person i was usually ever around) i took sides with my mom. i never really liked going to his house cause we've never had a strong bond if you'd even consider our relationship a bond??:( i was only ordered to stay one night a week there yet he'd always find some excuse as to why i couldn't or he'd hire a babysitter and work till late at night so i wouldn't see him. the times i spent there all seem like a repetitive memory of sitting in my room while he sat on the couch during the day and watched football. years later (now in my teen years) i often find myself breaking out in tears for what seems to be no apparent reason. i feel completely empty on the inside like a huge part of me is missing. did i do something wrong? why does he avoid my calls and emails begging an explanation and to see him?? why does he like to control me from a far but when i try to contact him he pushes me away? please someone explain to me cause it makes me SOO sad. my whole life I've wanted a good dad-daughter relationship. is this ever possible? I'm so confused

My mom is acting so immature for her age, she's giving me the silent treatment cause she doesn't like how I react to her constant knit picking. She would always tell me what I'm doing wrong and never support me in any of my decisions. For example, I joined the debate team and she just plainly stated that the club isn't for me and that I should quit. Shouldn't a mother support her kid??? She constantly picks on my height (I'm 5'4) saying how short I am which bothers me because she would then lead into the fact that my diet isn't good and I told her it's not just my diet it's also the short genes I've inherited from her. For goodness sake, I'm taller than her. I guess I just don't know what to do anymore, after a while, she just gets really irritating especially when I know she doesn't approve of anything I do.

My grandmother (not even a teacher) told me that she knows everyone at the school and asks them what time they go to school, and supposedly they said they never stay up as late as I do. I sleep often at 11pm-12am and get ready to wake up at 6:30-6:45am with the alarm at 6am. Anyways, my father told my grandma that I should be sleeping early to avoid getting sick again. BTW, they don't know that I even have a Yahoo Answers account, and they don't know that I'm making this question, and I wrote it in incognito mode. They say too less of a sleep is not good for me. In addition, I never saw her working at the school. I'm 16! She said she wants me to sleep for 7-8 hours. I actually slept for 8.25 hours last night! I also get straight A's and B's only.

My boyfriend (32) didn't get a birthday present from neither his mom or sister. He always gives them great birthday presents and this year neither of them even thought about it. I was okay with it until they both separately told me what they're getting a cousin for her birthday which is in 2 weeks. His sister is even buying the cousin new nikes. I am so upset about this. Am I in the wrong?

So whenever i buy things with my own money my mom takes it away from me if like i dont wash all the dishes. i dont understand why she does this when she knows that its my money. and its not hers. can someone please help me? and can someone please tell me how i can make her stop?

Hi. I am an 18 year old mother from Louisiana. I have a son who is almost five months old. The past 2-3 years I have been quite the partying, wild child you might say. But becoming a mother really calmed me down.....at first. When my son became a little older and was no longer considered a "newborn", I was able to hangout with my friends, regain somewhat of a social life, etc. I have really great friends. They were there for me before I was pregnant, while I was pregnant, and even after. If I called them to come watch the baby channel with me and my son, they d rush over. But they also liked to go out... Oh a life I miss so much. Now, my boyfriend/father of my child is the opposite. He s a big homebody, family guy, but he is also immature and has some groaning up to do. We both live with our parents four hours apart... (We met in a summer camp, ok) I sometimes think our son would be better off with him until I get all of my "wild" out because I want my son to have the best life possible, but then again, I don t want to be judged. there are times when I want to hold him in my arms forever and other times I need loud music and to be drunk as hell. I can t find a medium. Lately, I ve been leaning towards the second option. Should I let my father of my child take him for a while until I am more stable or try to control myself and grow the hell up? I don t want to be a bad mother.... I know my son is supposed to come first. That s why I am thinking of his best interests... HELP.

I know we may not know their past, but why have her in her life if all she is going to do is be mean to her and snap at her for every little thing? Not only that, her daughter hears Farrah act that way, and treats her grandma the same way Farrah does. How can someone act like that towards anyone, much less their mother

my foster parents put my in a room with all kinds of alarms. All the windows have an alarm and even the door in and out of the room has an alarm. The window alarms are always set. The door alarm gets set before bed. A bathroom with another alarmed window is attached to the bedroom I'm in so I'm not supposed to leave the room for anything. They told me to call for them if I need something. I've technically ran away twice. The first time wasn't really running away, though, because I just did it to get away from my biological parents who were abusing me. On the night I left them I ran away to the hospital because they had hurt me pretty bad and I was in pain. Then social services got involved. I was placed with my first foster family. I ran away from them because I was going through a lot emotionally and wanted to be away from people. I got found by the police on the second night I was gone. Those foster parents said they couldn't handle me. Now I'm with new people. I actually like them and don't want to run away from them. They treat me like a person and have been helping me get through some stuff. Do they seriously think I'm going to run away? I don't know how to make them feel better about me. I think it is dumb to put me in an alarmed room. If I wanted to run away I would just leave from school and do it.

Hi, I am worried about something. My boyfriend and I have been talking about our future. We both are thinking that when we have children I can stay at home. I am a software engineer and he is a mechanic. We are not living together. We are both 23. The problem is that since he graduated from his major which is an associates in automotive industry he has been unemploid three times. He doesn't make a living wage. He often is lacking money for food, clothing. And even quarters to do his laundry. His dad is still paying for his phone and health insurance bills. This is very stressing to me as a wonder of how our future is going to be. I don't want to return to work when my baby is three months old. AND DON'T JUDGE ME! What kind of mother is excited about leaving her 3 month baby at nursery to be picked up 8 hours later? I have asked him if he would go back to study something else but he doesn't want to borrow loans. And he says that he doesn't qualify for much help either. I want to know if mechanics make a living wage. For example if he could be financially secure in 4 years? Again, don't judge me!

I said some really horrible things tonight that I didn't mean. For example "Anyone would hate to have you as a mom". Is just one of many. The thing is she had a really hard life, abusive dad, abusive first two husbands. Her first husband she had my brother. Her second husband she had me. My brother turned out to be a huge screw up, with tons of anger problems and always in jail. Because of him being a screw up, and myself also having my own problems she blames herself already for being a bad parent and "failing". She tried her best, and loves us both very much. But tonight I said some things I can probably never take back, and things that probably made her regrets even worse. I don't know how to apologize to her to fix this. ( She is currently sleeping )

I'm choosing to end things because I'm not sure if I can continue living anymore. I can't continue my writing. I don't like the job I ended up with. I'm not speaking with family. I can't get my own place. I can't be the person I want. I wanted to leave behind a family of my own but that's ruined too. Only thing I'm worried about are my friends, they won't know I'm gone. Maybe it's best they don't know? I know that no good will come of waiting anymore. I've tried to wait out a year, then another year. I planned to do this back in 2012 and nothing good has happened from waiting my life out. It just gets worse. Nothing helps, nothing changes. I'm not going to be happy at all. It's just not ever going to happen for me. There is no point,not even this story I've been trying to finish. Nothing. Once you've messed your life up there is no way to reinvent or fix your life. No matter how you change your way of thinking.

Not recently but I've been with in therapeutic foster home for a long time for my own personal problems but it's been really irritating to have to fight with my foster parents because they believe it's stupid how I can't get a snack when I came back from school because I just ate which is ridiculous because I eat lunch at my high school about 10. It is still MORNING! and by the time I get home I'm starving again and I have to just starve myself until 9 because we have dinner really late. It's been really hard for me to be really hungry and it's rare that we eat dinner early... it's sort of starting to make me sad because I can't eat until late night.. I really don't know what to do either. I've tried talking to them but it just never gets resolved. They have a biological daughter but ones a year older than me and when she comes home she can eat whatever she wants since she's there child and when I'm hungry and looking for something to eat I can't eat.. which is unfair.. Sometimes my stomach hurts so bad were I just cry.. I don't know what to do either....

I m 16 year old girl. mom used to dance everyday Zumba with her 2 friends Dona & Elsa. I got really close with do as son, were still good friends, almost dated. I m very close with both of them, but I m closer with Dona. She s been there for me a lot, 16th birthday, homecoming crowning, supported me when I lost & gained my vision back etc. she s a very reserved person, after losing her husband & daughter 4yrs ago. But she s always super loving, caring to me, always giving hugs & laughing together, always happy, we have a special bond. Last year she quit Zumba due to fight she had with Elsa, so we don t see her anymore but I miss her so much, so I text her "have a great day!" Every know and then.. My grandma died a couple weeks ago & surprisingly Dona had came to her funeral, I was crying very hard & shaking, She came down the line hugging family, we she got to me I bawled out crying even harder when I saw her, Life seemed at its worst & to see her after months without her, I missed her so much.cit was overwhelming. She gave me the biggest/longest hug. She kept telling me that it s okay, it s okay to cry. It was a special moment, very hard & overwhelming. Days letter she would text me checking on me. Was it bad of me to cry more, How do you think she felt seeing me like that? is it weird that we are close? (Me & my mom are very close, there s nothing my mom lacks) I just want your opinion?

I AM SO PISSED. Today I went to McDonald's about an hour ago and bought a large fry I came home and when I walked in my dad got my fries and threw them all on the floor and yelled at me and said "THATS WHAT YOU GET F*GGOT. Who's right me or him? What are your opinions
