I have really toxic parents that are always on my back. They want to know everything about me and my friends, what I do what when they're not around. I get parents care and will ask questions but they really annoy me feel pressured by them all the time. I try to tell them I need space and have tried for years but they always think I don't love them when I say that. My dad gets mad when we go out, everything bugs him, he's always complaining, and it drives me crazy. Im 18 year old male who lives in a town of like 14,000 people. Theres never anything to do but work and home again. I believe to have a lot of patience but when I had enough I blow up and they tell me I'm not supposed to get mad, like I should be able to have feelings too. The only time things are okay is when they get their way, if they dont thry bash on me. What should I do? Should I save more money and move out? Please no, your parents love you and want the best for you because I get that but I feel like they bring more chaos to my life.

My brother and I were really close when we were kids, we would always play together and get along easily. Now he is 22 and I've noticed that he is a complete asshole. He always wants everything his way and without my parents telling him what to do even though he lives with them. One tme he got so mad he even punched my dad in the face and cut him. My dad didn't want to call the police because he always gives my brother many chances.He never pays back money he borrows. He owes my dad $1500 and he owes me $200. And he still wouldn't even buy me lunch since he "has no money" He works at a restaurant that pays him 7.50 an hour and doesn't even know what to do in his future. He gets on my nerves so much I can't even look at him anymore. What do I do? I'm getting tired of his act

I just had a newborn son this morning. I think it will be interesting to raise him as a girl so that he does not know that he is a boy.

He was walking outside in sandals in the rain, and he only wiped his feet with a towel. Now theres a stench EVERYWHERE in the house and he refuses to wash his feet. HE HAS SLIPPERS BUT HE WON'T WEAR THEM

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

My sisters husband Joe works at the same place I do. He was getting behind on a project he was working on and he ask me to help him. I said sure and I worked with him during my lunch and sometimes after work. He was afraid he would loose his job if he did not get his project done on time. It was a struggle but we got the project completed on time. I got an email from my sister that said "I hope you remember all the help Joe gave you at work and all the time he spent with you so you could keep your job". My first reaction was that I should take that email to Joe and tell him to tell my sister the truth about who helped who. However on more thought I didn't do that. I thought why start a family fight when it can be avoided. If Joe wants to keep the truth from his wife, I will not interfere. However when Joe needs help again (which he will) I am going to be not available. Please tell me if you think I made the right decision. How should I handled this situation? THANKS

she says something is going on in her family and she is sad she has had stuff like this for years! her parents are divorced, her sister has depression, and she lives with her mom and her dad lives nearby what do u think is happening there she says she wont say

Before i start i would like to say my dad wont get them because he says that he wore them for 10 years but then grew pimples in his eyes and had them scrubbed. We have talked about the pros and cons.I have told him why and everything. But he never gives in. I wore trial ones with his permission and it went well. He says it is because foreign objects in eyes are dangerous. But arent lenses more sophisticated nowadays, more than the past. I guess i can take care of them. Please help me to force him some how. My dad is the most stubborn btw Oh btw my mom doesnt mind anything

I am a mother myself of 3 children. my oldest has several disabilities so it's very hard and stressful at times. whenever I have called my mother just to vent or ask for advice and support she shuts me out. I have no one. She always is there for my sister and every time she needs someone to lean on I am always there for her every time! but when I call about something serious she always huffs and puffs and roles her eyes and says idk what to tell ya but I'm busy and says I don't want to hear it. I'm not listening to any negativity or what now or something. I can be crying my eyes out because I for example let's say my home was just condemned or burned down. she will say I'm not dealing with this I'm busy. She's never there for me like a mother should be. my son was molested by his father's father aka grandfather and I'm going through ptsd and not once has my mom let me even talk or vent. if I bring it up or anything at all she won't even let me finish. I'm so sick of her hurting me. I'm sick of her shutting me out and I hold everything in because I have no one to talk too. I don't call her with negativity all the time. but when I do it always ends up her shutting me out and I hang up on her and end up in tears. I don't think she loves me. she doesn't care if I'm depressed or anything. but when she needs me I'm always there. it hurts so much

my cousin is pregnant with her second child and she just found out there is several things wrong with it and my mom and everyone else in the family has been bawling and all upset but I feel nothing. even when my brother moved 12 hours away and everyone else was upset I didn't cry the least bit except the day he left. is something wrong with me?

I m 20 and I am currently living with my grandparents. I found an apartment that I would love to have but I will need my grandmother to cosign for me. She says she will with one condition - My cousin lives with us too and she wants me to take him in. (What s the big deal, you ask? He s your cousin). Well, he s a slob. A bum (Sorry). Him and I, we have two different mindsets. He wants to live paycheck to paycheck and spend his money on unnecessary clothing, liquor and parties. Me, on the other hand is more responsible. I have two jobs and I go to school. My second job earnings go straight into my savings. He won t save money to buy him a car so I take him to work every morning. He doesn t get enough hours where he works (2 days a week, 3 hours a day) so I have to take him. I offered him help an getting a second job where I work but he doesn t want it because that would be taking up his FREETIME!!?! He doesn t clean up behind himself and loves a lot of company. I love him, but I couldn t live with him. AHHH! I m so frustrated. What should I do?

Okay so when I was a kid I lived with my mother, my dad, and an older brother. I remember growing up my parents were always arguing a lot... We were living on low income and so my parents were always arguing. What made it worse was that my dad had Anger Issues.. My dad was also always arguing/fighting with my older brother. There was a couple times where it turned physical... I remember this one time, when I was like 9, where my dad and my brother were talking. Then all the sudden they were arguing, I remember it was for something really stupid and petty. .And then all of the sudden my dad snapped and beat my brother (with his fists).. As a kid my dad was always mean to me also.... He would always constantly put me down, make me feel bad about myself, etc. And I was really scarred of him. Especially after what happened to my brother.. Sometimes my dad would threaten to beat me.. So I would stay real quiet.. I remember when I was about 11 or 12 years old I was really depressed..You'd expect a kid to be happy and to be playing sports but instead of being a normal kid I was just really depressed... I recall wanting to go to therapy... I asked my mom to take me to a therapist but for some reason we never got to it.. And I actually wanted my mom to divorce my dad.. I didn't want to live with him.. So was my family dysfunctional? Sometimes we were happy but as the yrs went by things got worse...

My 4 year olds birthday was two days ago and it was completely ruined because me and her dad got into a huge arguement. She didnt get to do anything or get any gifts. I was suppose to take her to get her ears pierced but i hasnt happened or hasnt been spoken of since. For his older child she is 7 she gets laptops tablets and nintendo 3ds for previous birthdays i just think its unfair. He make sure he gets her gift on her birthday no matter what. My kid got $7 on her birthday and used it to buy a barbie doll we had stashed in the closet that he bought for his niece. This morning he came to me and said he has to buy some things for his 7 year old because they are making her captain on her cheerleading team, but my kid nothing. Am i taking things too personal am i being jealous or selfish?

I'm 14 yr old female. I go to a private school, but only because I have a full scholarship. My mom has a part time job cleaning houses and my dad is unemployed. My friends go out all the time, but I can't go because I'm too shy to ask them if they can pay for my water. I consider a $20 purse to be expense and $30 shoes to be overpriced. When I spend my own money, I never get anymore. It just decreases and decreases and never increases. I can't get a job because I'm not legal and babysitting/any job required <18yrs is not possible because my neighborhood is horrible and no one would hire someone as young as me. I'm trying not to spend any money, but I feel so bad and i don't know what to do. HELP.

My sister, who is 11, was playing a computer after she was grounded. My dad went nuts and smacked her across the face and held her by the neck, not choking but as a scare tactic, i guess...

Currently I live in a "house" with two rooms. This house is divided into two parts, on one side lives my grandma with grandpa and on the other side - my five member family and a dog. I don't have my own room, I sleep in the living room, I do homework in the kitchen and I have a brother and a sister, one is 7 and the other is 6. They are both my stepmother's children and they dislike me because she dislikes me. She treats me like trash and so do the kids following their mother's steps. I get insulted, my stuff is always put somewhere else than I put them, the kids even yell at me, ordering stuff, sometimes hit me, do faces, talking back. I cannot get any quiet time because they are constantly playing, yelling, running, fighting, crying and there is no chance for them to stay quiet. It feels like the situation is getting worse every day, my grades are dropping, I feel stressed often, almost depressed because of this, I hate to get back home when the family is at home. By the way, the kids are so spoiled that they don't listen a word what my father is saying to them, also, he is too forgiving. GLADLY I AM MOVING TO A NEW HOUSE WITH MY OWN ROOM. But I don't know when for sure, in about 1-2 months I think but I cannot take this anymore, I feel like I'm one foot into depression, I try to stay positive every day but it is impossible because every time those stupid kids and the stepmother ruin my day for good. Please, advice me how to survive this...

So I am 14 years old, and two years ago my parents split up. My dad had an affair..... He abused me and my brother when we were kids by hitting us and verbally abusing us. My brother and sister don t see or talk to my dad and want nothing to do with him. I am the only one in contact with him... He is really fun and easy to be around now. And he is happy. I m not saying that I forgive him ..... I don t know when or where I will. But seeing him lets me have a break from my family at home. I fight all the time with my family and I feel like I have know one. What do I do ? I am seeing the guidance counsellor and a therapistand it kinda helps but I still feel awful. I have been cutting for about a month and I feel like everyday is worse then the next. I'm so tired of feeling this way. I don't know how much more I can take ........

My wife passed away recently (just a little over a week ago) and it's been a struggle moving on. The biggest struggle has been that my wife and I were separated when she passed. As this was the case, we shared joint custody of our 6-year-old daughter. The only problem is, now that she has passed, and custody has fallen to me exclusively, my wife's parents are setting up plans and sleepovers with my daughter without consulting me first. Because things are going well between us (thanks greatly to my wife's passing and the mutual loss we all felt), I am trying to take charge of the situation without pushing them away or creating conflict. I don't want to cut them out of my daughter's life but I want it conveyed that I'm her father, and they need to discuss things with me. Most of the time, I'm even okay with what they'd like to do with her, it's just that I would appreciate being consulted beforehand. I'm very introverted and I'm not the best communicator when it comes to conflict-resolution. I don't want to force them out of her life, I'm not even sure if I'm not making too big a deal out of nothing. My wife always handled these problems in the past with great ease. I'm trying to put my foot down and simultaneously keep the peace. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated

I saw his phone and he got a txt from a number without a name that said something about being between her legs. It wasn't my mom and I'm scared to do anything. I love both my parents but I'm disgusted with my dad. I told him my fear but not what I found and he said he's not cheating and he's in a happy marriage. What do I do?

I really need some advice as i am stressed enough as it is. I am 19 and am attending college. Two months ago I got pregnant by my ex-boyfriend who proceeded to break up with me after the news. I went to my mom for support and she insisted I get an abortion because I'm not secure in life yet to have a child. I agreed with her, but told her abortion wasn't an option. She dropped the subject for a day or two but eventually told my sister (who has had two abortions) and apparently my mom asked my sister to talk me into aborting the baby because it would "Ruin my life". I told my sister I can't do that and that adoption IS a very real option at the moment for me, but abortion is not. The conversation went from civil to war-zone and ended with the two of us screaming at one another and my sister telling me that "I'm not better than her!" even with my refusal to go through with the abortion, and that "I've ruined my life." She stormed out and later I got a pretty nasty voice-mail from my mother. My mom told me either I get an abortion (and apologize to my sister for making her "feel like crap") or my tuition will be cut off and I'm not welcomed around the family anymore because I'm "toxic." Please, someone give me advice. All I have are my close friends and they are split on how I should handle things. I want my family in my life...but I can't kill this baby who has done nothing wrong.

So my Grandmother is kind of old timey, a smoker, abusive, and likes to accuse people of things. Yesterday my little sister wanted to know what being gay was so I explained it to her. After I did I walked into the living room where my grandmother was then she accused my of trying to get my sister to do something. I explained to her I was just explaining what gay meant then she yelled at me about how it's wrong to be gay and God this and religion that. I got angry so I hid in the shower. She then asked me to do something by yelling and threatened me if I didn't do it. My aunt came in after then my Grandmother found me and yelled harshly at me to get into the living room or I was going to get it. I refused and my aunt came in and calmed everything down and told me to take a moment to collect myself. Immeadiately after my grandmother came in and started yelling at me saying, "How dare you!" And that I was being so bad and she was worried about me when I was hiding. Even though when I was hiding the first thing she yelled was, "She left without telling me so I'm going to tell her Dad and he will take everything that girl owns!" I'm really stressed about this. I'm generally a very calm and collected person but now I just want to cry because I don't know what else to do when I'm angry.

So for Valentine's Day my boyfriend and I are planning to go to the beach. It's 2 weeks from now and I asked my mother last week. She didn't give me a yes or no answer and if I ask again she'll get mad at me, then the closer it approaches she'll yell at me for not asking sooner. So i asked my Dad yesterday and he said ,"I hate when you make plans and don't ask." We have the day planned out so I could tell my parents the details if they wanted to know when I asked but my Dad said he didn't like it when I planned before asking. I'm so confused and it is stressing me out... what exactly do my parents want me to do?

I had to go get a stupid hair cut this smorning before school, an while I was their I was really sleepy cause I was up playing Pokemon Alpha Sapphire until 4:00 this smorning. Any way, I accident fell asleep while she was giving me a hair cut an I farted in my sleep an it scared me an I jumped up an when I did she accident cut a big chunk of hair off me an I looked in the mirror an I looked like a pile of hoarse poop an I said she was a fagit an now I am not aloud to go to the hair cutter any more! This is additional to mom an dad getting the credit card bill hear any day an finding out that I spent $8,000 on video games an consoles an Pokemon cards an stuff that I failed my school for the third year, I am going to be 18 an still a sophmoar, which is a bunch of CRAP an every one knows it, they should just give me enough of a grade to pass ever year an that would be fair! My life is a hum bug an a hob nob!

My 10 year old daughter takes it as a personal offense anytime I go on a date. I'm her single dad, I became a dad as a teenager, things didn't work out with the mother. Up until this past fall, I didn't date, but have since gotten back in the pool because, I'm lonely. I've tried telling her that I'm not trying to get away from her, but simply that I, an adult, do need to be around other adults. I may go on 1 date a month. Last night though she got very disrespectful. I was getting ready to go out and it was almost her bedtime. Her: Do you have to go? Me: Yeah, I'll see you in the morning. It's bedtime anyway Squirt. Her: This really sucks Me: Language little lady. Her: So? It's not like you care about me. You're leaving. Me: For a few hours. You, bed, now. Her: I hate you. Me: Fine, you're grounded until Friday. You'll go to school, come home, do chores, homework, dinner, bed. Her: But… Me: Bed. Too harsh?

a few months ago, my mom accepted a new job in another state so we moved. Life back in our other state was not good. We dealt w/ people constantly manipulating my mom and I, sabotaging, bullying at my school, me being taken out of a gifted program by the principal of my school who was my moms, enemy's, husband, and my mom being harassed at work. Not to mention, the economy in that state was terrible. Desperate, my mom looked for jobs to get out of that state. She got the job she was looking at is getting paid more. Because of this job, she doesn't have to pay for housing, or any bills related to the house. Once my mom started her- new job, trouble started to brew. people at her job started telling her bosses false things. They said my mom was late for work multiple times, and disobeyed the dress code she has been written up three times. on top of that, everyone at her job has a contract and once the contract ends, you can either get it renewed or they can let you know. The contract was ending soon so my mom got nervous. So nervous that she invited a business man from another state, who she met on the internet a while ago, whom she never met before. shes hoping he will help her start her own business in case she looses her current job. This guy is rich, and knowing what my mom has been through. he demanded to not stay in a hotel, and for her to pay his plane ticket. he was only supposed to stay a few days. its been a month. and now he had his son fly here because he missed him. him and his son are staying with my mom and i in our 2 bedroom apt! they are driving us crazy, my mom's job is starting to go better. Her contract got renewed for another year and she is getting a raise. But, she still wants to start this business. She doesnt want this guy&his son here but she doesnt kn know how to kick them out. shes afraid that if she kicks him out that it will backfire and he will not start her business. My mom doesn't know how to kick him out but she wants them out soo bad! So do i!! What can we do to get them out of here?? ** you can either get it renewed or they can let you GO not know and i know it seems like this guy is a con, but we have seen his big house, his company website with his name on it, and he talks to his business people everyday

My parents forced me to eat food in a bowl that had quranic verses written on it. It was of steel and the verses were carved in it. I hated doing thst.. Its not really allowed to do it They didnt eat from it What shall i do?

So my mom has been rising this hormone cream for years; I've noticed lately she has been extra touchy-she event went as far to kind of throw a fit out of no where and yell at me. I could breath wrong and she would probably say something lol But she slipped to me she hasn't used her hormone cream in over a month and she keeps forgetting to buy it.how do I push her to buy it without being rude or hurtful? I'm afraid of her wrath! She literally morphs into a completely different person when she gets hormone grumpy.

So my parents got divorced when I was 9, I'm 13 now. and none of them could afford for me to live with them, but luckily I had 3 older brothers that could afford for me to live with them,all 3 of them bought a house together, when my parents could barely afford an apartment, so all 3 of them became my legal guardians, all of them have good paying jobs. Ok so yesterday my parents came for dinner. And that's how it want done It's not word to word but that's how I kinda remember it: "Always late Dylan?" Dad said sarcastically. Sean( my oldest brother)gave me a look not to argue. "Sorry sir" "Dylan, how's school?"Mom asked. "Fine, mom." "Grades? Sean, you always keep an eye on her grades right?" Dad asked.( one of my brother is a headmaster in my school) "I'm the ones who was in charge when Sean was in France, dad. Yeah, she kinda does well" Nicholas said( another one of my brothers) "Kinda? what did you get on Sean's subject?" Dad asked. "Dad, it's a family reunion! We should discuss about happy things!"I exclaimed. "Don't you dare to raise your voice at me." Dad warned. "Sorry."I mumbled. "What did you get,Dylan?" "D, dad. I'm not good in that subject." "I'll do extra class with you,Dylan." Sean declared. "You fail a test again, Dylan, try me, YOU WON'T BE SITTING NEXT MONTH."Sean said. what did he mean by that? Does he mean a spanking? I'm 13 he can't do that! Or am I taking this the wrong way? Did he mean something else?

My brother's girlfriend is psycho b***h and is often physically and verbally abusive towards and serves a lot of low blows when she doesn't get her way. He's young and quite passive and pretty much just takes it and walks away but I've notice the more he does that the more comfortable she gets with treating him that way. Part of me believe is a power play on her part since she is slightly older than him. They just met, he's a Freshman, she's a junior. But the other part of me just believes she is an evil psycho and he doesn't know how to get himself out of this mess. One of the sickest things she does to him is blame him for his ex's suicide. That is her go-to argument and like always he pretends it doesn't bother him but we all know it does. At this point our whole family is fed up with her and want her out of all of our lives but he keeps tryna keep the peace and carry on with the relationship. A clearly unhealthy relationship. What should we do at this point? I personally think they should've split months ago when he started "not caring" anymore..

My parents past away when I was 7,and since then my brother is my legal guardian, he is 27, I'm 14, he works in the school I go to as a student counselor So I was late to class and that's what happened I don't remember word to word but it was kinda like it: "What's wrong here? And don't worry Miss (my last name) and miss ( my friends last name), you guys will both have after school detention" I hugged him, I didn't see him in the morning. "Don't you dare to run from your punishment." "Also, I'm handling you because of your misbehavior yesterday( I snuck out of the house) and today." I pulled back my hug. "Now both of you,go to your class. I expect you, Dylan(me) straight to my office after school. And it's Sir at school. Clear?" "Yes,sir" my friend said " let me explain" " watch your tone" he warned. I started telling him that it's not my friends fault we were late. And my friend started defending me. "Enough" my brother said You both deserve the same punishment, and it's for (my friends name) because of her ditching class, and for you Dylan,because of late attendance, yesterday events, ditching class. Should I add you talked back and raising your voice,(my full name)?" "But-" He slapped me across my face "No,sir" Was it right for him to do that? Like I get it I talk back but its still kinda harsh. I am asking this question for the second time because I didn't get a lot answers.

Okay so my nephew is 7 and I've caught him on numerous occasions watching porn. Most of it is just sexual activity on youtube with adults and cartoons. It started when he was 6. I don't know what made him start to be so curious at such a young age. I mean there's one thing to want to know what sex is but at his age to be watching porn? That's not okay nor is it normal. Anyway, the first time I ever caught him I immediately told his mom. She told him that he couldn't get online anymore but 2 weeks later, he's back on. Ever since then. he's been watching more and more and it's really disturbing me because I noticed he is taking his curiosity out on his younger sister. She is 2 years younger than him and only knows anything about sex because of him. They recently got in a lot of trouble because I caught them under the covers dry humping each other. The sister clearly didn't know what was going on or why it was wrong, but my nephew knew. Anyway, of all the times I told his mother about all of it, she has done **** to actually see what the **** is going on in his head to think any of what he's done is okay. I know that he's a child and he, as one, will not know the impact watching porn will have on him as he gets older. But his mother does and she's not doing a damn thing about it. I've had a serious but calm talk with him. He's gotten a whooping. & He has had his phone taken away, but he seems to continue to watch it and act inappropriately with his sister. What do i do? I was thinking that he was exposed to sexual activity by a family member or friend, but I don't know who if so and he hasn't given any clues other than watching porn and being curious about his sister.

I'm talking in terms of trials SOCIALLY, when others spontaneously assume the roles of a courtroom. Not in an actual courtroom of law

Edit Already my stick help me for walking, as like as my mother took her child for how to walk, but it is so pleasant that my stick does not know that mother took me to the "life" , and he to "non-existence"...

This has been going on for a couple of years, so I need to get this off my head. My racist dad hates saying the word, "black." He even hates it when black actors in the entertainment industry say the word "black." Everyone was talking about Black History Month yesterday, and my younger sibling has to do a report on an important African American to make a grade. (Note: this is only third grade) When younger sibling was reading along the guidelines, he said, "Oh, so you re quick to say black , but you re slow to say the word white ? Don t say it again, or else I ll hook you in the nose. What have THEY been teaching you in school, huh?" Second note: This is old man in his fifties, and has a stubborn point of view. Does anyone know how to deal with a guy like this? I know that some people will say to avoid it, but I ve just about had it with staying silent for too long. Someone needs to let him know that he s just being a jerk about it.

I don't know why, but I noticed while I was growing up, I was always scared and nervous around men, and i still am. Like, kids around my age (I'm 16) I'm okay with, but I seem to never be able open up and talk to an adult man. I can easliy talk to girls of any age, no problem (I'm a boy), but for some reason when a man is around, I just get quiet and shy. Is this because of childhood issues or??? I hate it because I feel so embarrassed about it, I can't even hide it. I just get quiet and won't talk. Even if I try to talk, i can't bring myself to.

Is it wrong that I kiss my sister on the lips instead of the cheek to say goodnight

And don't worry Miss (my last name) and miss ( my friends last name), you guys will both have after school detention" I hugged him, I didn't see him in the morning. "Don't you dare to run from your punishment." "Also, I'm handling you because of your misbehavior yesterday( I snuck out of the house) and today." I pulled back my hug. "Now both of you,go to your class. I expect you, Dylan(me) straight to my office after school. And it's Sir at school. Clear?" "Yes,sir" my friend said " let me explain" " watch your tone" he warned. I started telling him that it's not my friends fault we were late. And my friend started defending me. "Enough" my brother said You both deserve the same punishment, and it's for (my friends name) because of her ditching class, and for you Dylan,because of late attendance, yesterday events, ditching class. Should I add you talked back and raising your voice,(my full name)?" "But-" He slapped me across my face "No,sir" Was it right for him to do that? Like I get it I talk back but its still kinda harsh.

I am 15, and have a cyst on my genitals. After having it for 3 years of being insecure.. I am worried it might be cancerous.. How should I ask my dad to take me to the doctor/explain?

I do not feel what I think I should feel towards my daughter. I can't feel the love I think I should feel towards her...no matter how hard I try. I have never been cruel/mean towards her. I grew up in a very NON loving family, my mother was in no way a "loving" mother, I think this is what has happened to me. I watch my daughter, she has 3 kids, love her kids...I see she love them, this confuses me, because of the way I feel. I got pregnant at 17...stayed married to her father for 6 years....because of the disconnect I felt for her and not really loving her father, I left. I have not spoken to my daughter for 5 years now....I think I am sad to say, I do not miss her, catch things posted on facebook, but that is it. I wont' do counseling, don't think counseling will teach a person to love someone. I do think about her now and then, but not enough to call her..she could call me, but because of the disconnect her and I feel.....she doesn't. I fell odd about the way I feel, but don't know what to do about it, if anything. Has any of you mom's been through or going through something like this? I guess I should have added, I am 62, daughter is 45...thank you for reading.....please no nasty responses, sure don' t need those.

So about a week ago my mom left to go to the store and i decided that I was gonna walk up to the hospital which is only a block away to go see my friends new born baby... I had texted my mom and asked if she would pick me up because I didn't feel much like walking back... Minutes later I got a text saying that she would be there anywhere from 20-40 mins... And pretty much had a full blown conversation with me... I tried to call her after 40 mins had gone by and I was sent straight to voice mail because her phone was dead. Shrugging it off I just walked home and asked my mom why she didn't come pick me up to my dismay she said her phone had been off all day because she hadn't been near a charger.. Well just know I got a text just sending me a 1 followed by lots of zeros... Problem is I'm the my mom is a sleep and I'm the only one awake... When I agent what it showed the message was read but I got no reply... Anyone know what's going on???

Well like I said I'm 13 my parents trust me but my dad doesn't trust "horny" teenage boys as he was one his self. I assured them nothing will happen I just want to go to the movies and have them over for dinner from time to time. What should I do to assure my dad that I'm strong headed enough for nothing to happen and I'm a virgin and i plan on staying that way until I'm married. So how do I convince my dad to let me "date"?

My mom is bipolar and is a emotional wreck because of her verbally abusive parents and doesn't care to know me. I don't live with her anymore, she barely calls or talks to me. My dad died a couple of years ago, but when I wen't to live with him he barely wanted to get to know me and didn't ever talk. My stepmom used to be caring but since he died she doesn't act that way anymore. Now I live with my grandma, which I know she cares but she is distant to. I believe that I am a disappointment and not somebody to be loved. Im a nice person to people, but since my parents neglect It's been hard for me to open up to people or even let them touch me. How do I stop feeling like this?

She is 47 years old and has been drinking for the past decade. She drinks heavy liquor every SINGLE night and gets drunk every night. She drinks Pinnacle Whipped Vodka the big bottle and finishes it in about 3-4 days. My family fights every night and my dad insults her and calls her a whore, drunk, alcoholic. My sister also insults her. I am a guy who is 21 and I am kind of a mommas boy I love my mom we have a close connection and she tells me all her problems but when she gets drunk I just cant take it. After ten years of dealing with her being drunk and begging her to stop, throwing away her alcohol and begging her to seek help I have accepted that this is probably going to be the way she is until she passes away. I don't know what to do. Its a shame. She has really bad anger towards my dad who doesnt work, myself and my sister. I try doing a lot of house work to make up for me not having a job but I have social anxiety, depression, and ocd. However, I got a job recently and I am working for minimum wage. Is she an alcoholic(she claim she isn't)?

I am fourteen years old and I am a freshman. My parents blocked my phone to where I can only access the "call" application, my computer is blocked to my school website and a homework site, and the only thing I have privacy on is my school assigned computer. My parents are still able to track everything I do with an app called covenant eyes, which gets very annoying. I have no history of doing anything bad, and I have a gpa of around a 3.0 at a highly advanced school. How can I get my parents to calm down and give me privacy?

Okay so i'm 14 and my mom has been going through my stuff for as long as i can remember. My mom doesn't do it because she doesn't trust me or something she does it because she is an absolute and total neat freak. so whenever i come home from my dads house everything in my room has been moved put aside or if it looks like garbage to my mom thrown away. I have asked her multiple times to stop but she still does it. Today i just had it, in the back of my closet i have bags of stuff that i needed when i went back there EVERYTHING GONE. she assumed it was garbage and threw it away. AND IT WAS IN MY CLOSET SHE WENT INTO MY FU***** CLOSET. like are you kidding me that has to be neat to. this isn't the first time this happened i need help idk what to say because saying stop clearly isn't enough. This is just so frustrating andd makes me mad like i dont want stuff in my room moved around every time i come back from school something is moved and it drives me nuts. PLEASE HELP ME WHAT SHOULD I SAY.

I am 16 and my aunt, uncle, and 3 cousins just moved with us the summer of last year. I used to live with my mom, dad, and sister. We have a 3 bedroom apartment, I used to have my own room. Now that they came in I have to share a really small room with my sister and we don t have room for anything, our room is always messy. My sister and I used to share a bathroom and now we have to share it with our parents. It is the worst thing ever, I am so uncomfortable around my aunt, uncle , and cousins. I can never do anything that I want in my house anymore. My sister and I are always fighting because we can never have our own space anymore. This doesn t even include the fights my parents and I have. It is hell and I am so tired of it. I cry every day because I am so very tired of living like this. My other family that lives us is a mess and I cant stand them. I know other people have it far worse than I do but I cant stand living like this any longer. It is hell and I want them to mov out so i can have my normal life again. Ive already told my parents about what i feel but they say we cant do anything about it.

So after highschool I came home and fell asleep, while I was asleep for about four hours I have no clue what happend but my mom flipped **** and started screaming at me she sounded demonic tbh. So i awoke to here frighten screaming and she says you not going to your music lessons anymore and im like why?? She said because you took the pliers and wouldn't give them back. I forgot to put them back and i was sleeping.... And now i have them back and my moms completely flipping out and pissed off at me like im a serial killer. My Mom has terrible agression issues and no one likes to be around her because shes extremely rude and angry constantly. Help???

I hate my parents. I don't like them at all and they are some of the biggest b*tches I've ever known. Tonight they took away everything and I can't do anything. I'm only able to write this because I snuck my old phone which basically can only take pictures and use safari when connected to wifi. I'm tired of putting up with their sh*t basically. I want to show that I'm not gonna live like this anymore by running away. I want my mother to feel the pain of knowing that I've gone missing and could be in danger (but I won't actually I know where I'll go and it'll be safe) so that she realizes she can't treat me like this anymore. The only thing is that I don't want to miss school and lower my grades so idk how I'd go to school so maybe I could run away for only the weekend? However i don't wanna be the one to choose to return because ten I'll look weak and will have proven nothing. Should I do it and an tips?

My sister says that if we run away it will make our parents less strict because they will realize that the made us run away by being the way they are. Sure, they're a little strict, but they love us. They always take care of us. If I leave I don't know how I'm going to get food, water, shelter, warmth or any of the things I get by living with my parents. My sister has $116 dollars and she thinks that's going to be enough for us to make it. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to show my sister that things aren't that bad.

I'm 24 still @ home with my parents. haven't worked n a few years. i have a 2 year degree to do office work but nothing came of it. i apply to all sorts of jobs over the years. call center rep, help desk, secretary, receptionist, cashier, sales associate, janitor, housekeeper, work at home rep, just any job i need money. i would go outside of my area for a job but my car is old and i have not money for gas. my car is 13 years old with 145k miles on it. i get rejections from jobs constantly thru out these years. i got help from tutors for my resume so its not my resume. im really tired of depending on my parents. im trying to go to back to college n hopes to do medical coding. every1 seems to b doing nurse jobs n my area, so i guess hospitals r mostly hiring. ive looked at salaries for medical coding and of course its better than what i have (nothing), and it only takes 1 year to complete. a BA degree is too much debt plus i tried it, it was too hard for me.

So basically I am a 15 year old male. My father became very when I told him that I was gay. Was I wrong in coming out. Help me. Where can I go. I am in a library. Can some one adopt a 15 year old?
