Question: Can my mom really do this at 19?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 12:47 PM PDT

I'm 19, a sophomore on full academic scholarship to college, and commute from home because of money. I work a part time job with a catering company and am mostly very responsible. My mom's been on me because sometimes, when I can't easily get a ride after work events, I walk to where my car is parked alone (sometimes up to a mile away) rather than calling a cab. After a bunch of conversations my mom basically begged me not to do it again. I did anyway, and when she asked I lied about it (rare for me, I almost never lie.....and honesty was always my mom's biggest things). She caught me in it and was mad both about the safety (woman walking alone at night) and even moreseo the lying. She grounded me. When I protested she said her house, her rules.....and that while I have VERY few rules these days because of my age, as long as I live here she has the right to enforce the rules she does have. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do? Is she being unreasonable? In fairness, to be clear, the grounding was less for the walking and more for the lying

Question: Im dumb . Dont judge me.?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 12:45 PM PDT

Sooo.... I met a guy about a yr and a half ago. Things were great at first, very charming, very attentive... We went out, took trips, did dinners way too much. But, I loved it & slowly started loving him. Long story short, he changed. He started beating me up , pulling guns on me, and making me feel shitty. I ended up getting pregnant through out our make up/ break ups... He got us evicted TWICE.. I was sleeping in a shelter while pregnant... He gets locked up because I ended up filing charges after he beat me while pregnant. Shortly after, I had my daughter 14 weeks early. He gets out while she s still in NICU & I came into some money... I ended up getting an apartment closer to my family. Thinking he changed I let him come live with me, essentially wanting my daughter to have her father. Soon, I.found out he was using cocaine again ... Bc he left for a day comes back, and fights me... The next day, I kick him out. He tried to break in and I called the police who banned him... Later that night, my mom brings my daughter back... & I m thinking everything is chill... He kept calling & was standing outside the apartment. I grabbed my daughter& ran into the kitchen to call police but he had already kicked the door in. He threatened to kill us... The next day. He blamed it on drugs... Keeps crying... Saying he misses his family... Wants to be back with us... I know what I should do just from reading it... But, I hate to take her from her dad.. I hate to leave... So stupid.

Question: Am I being ungrateful?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 12:31 PM PDT

Im 17 and whenever I come home from school, I go in my room and I can tell that my stuff has been moved around and some stuff will be thrown away. I can also tell that my drawers have been looked through. This only happens when my dad is off work during the day, so I know it's him. I told his to stop going in my room because I can just clean it myself when I get home from school. But he still continues to go in my room everyday. Then when I get mad about it, he just says "Well do it yourself then!". I would do it myself if it wasn't already done by the time I get home from school because of him. I keep telling him to stop going in my room and just let me clean it myself because I'm not a little kid anymore, and he still continues to do it. I just feel like he's not respecting my privacy. I'm 17, and I don't need my parents to clean my room. I may not do it right away, but I will do it myself. I feel like I might be out of line by thinking this. I feel like maybe I'm being ungrateful and I should appreciate him cleaning my room, but he's doing it on purpose because he knows it annoys me.

Question: Why do people get mad when you tell them some things but will also get mad if you don't tell them?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 12:07 PM PDT

ex:if you knew someone was cheating on your relative and kept it to yourself-don't want to get in it they'll get mad cause you didn't tell them, but if you told them about it they'll get mad thinking you're lying trying to mess up their relationship.

Question: I wanna go to a concert on friday but im scared to ask my parents?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 12:05 PM PDT

Im 16 my parents are rly strict and im afraid they might say no and how they will react. The concert starts at 8 and lasts for about 3 hours and 8 is also my curfew so that could be a problem..whats the best way to ask them?

Question: Easter is in two weeks and I feel sad after my grandmother's death, how can I still enjoy the holiday?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:58 AM PDT

There is no family get together anymore and even though Easter is not like Christmas we did have something when she was alive. The remaining relatives are more private and so I can't go stop by their houses or anything. I feel sad at Thanksgiving, Easter, and 4th of July as those are the three holidays she had that are now just days with immediate family. We still do Christmas. So how can I avoid being so down on Easter Sunday? I am dreading it

Question: Parents don't do anything about verbally abusive brother?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:38 AM PDT

My older brother is very, very, verbally abusive. He'll sit there and slam you and slam you as long as he can. But the moment you go to stand up for yourself my parents are all like "Don't say that! Stop!" They basically make me look like the bad person because I'm standing up for myself and he ends up winning. They stand up for him Allllllll the time. But they refuse to stand up for me. It seems like in their eyes I'm trash. Just today my brother was being verbally/emotionally abusive and my mom sat there the whole time not saying a word as he bashed me and who I am as a person. But the moment I went to stand up for myself she started making comments like "OK, that's enough."

Question: Was I sexaully assaulted...?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:37 AM PDT

Okay so this is the story that happened to me My brother's friend was over and he spent the night and at 2am that night he came in my room and got into my bed. I'm 15 and he was 15 too. At first I wouldn't think we would do anything so I just let him sleep in my bed and then few moments later he grabs my hand and I guess I so called played along with it and then he said can i turn around so basically my back my facing him in the front and then he suddely tried to put he's hand in my pants but I stopped him and then after he also started to rub on my arms and touch my belly and then i fianlly said i think you should go back in the room with my brother and then he did that. After he left my room I started crying but I didn't know why, what was I feeling?? I never told ANYONE not even my parents or my brother about this what should I do and was I assaulted?...

Question: When I was between ages of 20 and 22 I was intrusive with family sometimes, now at 30 some still don't like me, how do I get them to change?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:33 AM PDT

I have anxiety issues and it increased after my parents divorce and feuds my mother and her siblings had. When I was 20 and back in the area from living with my Dad for 6 years (my Dad had moved back to the area) I started reaching out more to my mother's family. I would do things like go by without calling, ask "can I come for Thanksgiving for a bit" or ask multiple times the same thing almost like stalking. I didn't realize I was being inappropriate and at age 22 I stopped when I noted one uncle and his wife being curt. Now years later, 8 years later, that uncle and his wife and kids still seem awkward around me. It may just be their personalities but I fear they may hold a grudge. In the family no one talks about the past or is open about that kind of stuff so my mother says not to bring it up unless they bring it up. What do I do to get them to like me? How can I tell if it is me or just their personalities? They have a severely autistic son so some may just be stress from that. ASKED EARLIER AND THOUGHT I'D ASK ONE MORE TIME

Question: What should I do?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:33 AM PDT

My mom and step-dad are arguing and my mom is crying and I think we're gonna have to move out but we have no where to go. and we have no money. I'm really scared that we're gonna end up living in our car again. My stepdad just threw something and my mom said that she was gonna leave in her car and he said "why not? Who the ****'s stopping you?" I don't want to leave. I have to act like I didn't hear anything even though I'm in tears right now... They have never gotten into any fights like this and they have been together for like 3 or 4 years now.

Question: My mother had three kids with her 2nd husband, my step-father, there are limited rules, is this good or bad?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:30 AM PDT

For example if the kids are making noise my mother walks out of the room instead of saying stop. If she says one of them is punished she does not enforce the punishment. She yells but then no punishment is issued. The older of the three is a teen and she is rebellious but my mother screams at her all the time but never enforces anything. My step-father will ground her but when he gets home from work my mother has allowed the daughter to go see a friend because my half-sister has some story of "well my friend's mother had all this food thinking I was coming over". So is this good or bad? Is this normal parenting or not? My brother and I are in our twenties but we had rules and learned right and wrong.

Question: MY SPRING BREAK IS RUINED.?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:28 AM PDT

We were going on a road trip for our first day on spring break, and we got dressed and stuff. I went to my aunt's house which was across from mine and knocked on her door. Her cousin answered and said: Go back home, it's not even twelve yet. I said okay and walked back home. I told my mom her answer and all a sudden she got mad at my cousin for saying that, I don't know why. She went and talked to my aunt and when she came back she told me we weren't going. I was crying so much because it meant a lot to me. We were going to spend time together for once and now it's gone. I've been crying for half an hour and I don't know what to do anymore. I want to solve this problem. Help? I haven't talked to anybody else about this, and I'm scared to talk to my aunt and cousin ever again. My aunt said she did want to go with us, so did my cousin.

Question: Be more independent?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 11:28 AM PDT

My parents (mom and aunt) are very overbearingI'm 16. My parents want me to rely on them for everything but I hate asking people for things and would like to provide the things I can for myself. My mom won't let me get a job. How can I make a little money. Not have to ask for everything. Basically the things I need to know to live on my own (not trying to move out just skills to acquire) life tips, lessons. Instructions maybe. My fathers not on my life so there's a lot I've missed out on.

Question: How should I respond to my mother's passive aggressive gestures to guilt me from seeing family members I love who she is mad at?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 10:54 AM PDT

She makes gestures and while she no longer can withhold me from seeing them, she can do things passive aggressive things that guilt me, ad to my anxiety, and sometimes make the others not want to ask me knowing it will make my mother mad. For example, my sister was in town and I saw her five times during her 9 day stay. The last night I couldn't make it by due to going somewhere with my cousins and my mother was fine with that. On day three I could not come over because I was going to a birthday party for a cousin at my aunt's house (the aunt my mother, they're sisters, is mad at) and all I got was grief and told I was hurting my sister. My sister said she didn't mind at all. So how can I get around this and not let it affect me like it does?

Question: How to handle having to watch your mother die?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 10:50 AM PDT

A week ago, my mother was diagnosed with a terminal condition and not given much longer to live (Anywhere from a month to a year). It is honestly making me an absolute wreck. Anything that makes me remotely think about brings me into a crying a fit that can last for hours. What can I do to cope with this and why is life so unfair?

Question: My mother wants to take away my second amendment right to bear arms. How do I convince her I have this right in the constitution?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 10:49 AM PDT

She says as long as I live with her I cannot own a firearm. I am 21 and not mentally disturbed and not a felon. How do I get her to see it is my constitutional right and duty?

Question: What else can a mother do to prove that her daughter is being abuse at the father's home if cps dont believe 4 yr old girl or the mother?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 10:31 AM PDT

My friend had visitation yesterday with her baby at the fathers home. Right away she saw bruses on her face and on side of her eye. While the father was in the bathroom she asked the 5 year old - baby how she got them (the mom recorded while the baby is telling her how and why the father hit her you can hear the baby crying while talking) the baby said her dad hit her with the belt on the face and punched her! So what the mom did is took the baby from that home called 911 immediately and met them at her home. Police showed up took pictures and talked to the baby and she showed them how he grabs her and made the report. When cps showed up it was only too pick her up and to take her back to the father's hone, when the baby heard she was going back to him she just grabbed on to the mother and cried. How is this possible??

Question: Can someone please make me feel better?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 10:15 AM PDT

I am a mom of 4 kids, 3 of which primarily live with their Dad. I was a stay at home Mom and when Dad got custody, I started volunteering a lot at the kids school to see them and eating lunch with them everyday. Their Dad hated that and has court ordered limited my ability to have lunch with them except on Tuesdays of every week. With so much free time, I got a full time job teaching and have been doing so for 2 years. Having a full time job prevents me from having lunch with the kids every week, so I try to about once a month just because I don't want to get fired from my job for taking off so much time from work. This morning, I woke up, had a fever, felt like the flu, and called out sick to work and stayed home with my youngest child. After waking up at 10, feeling much better, I texted back and forth with my ex about one child not being in school for sickness, and started working on PhD assignments. It was not until 12:45 p.m. that I remembered that today is the day I can have lunch with my children at their school, and I completely forgot. I try to be a good mother, but on this one, I completely forgot! I am feeling horrible bc my kids always ask for me to have lunch with them. Please help me to feel better. Feeling like the worst mother ever. Hi thanks guys.To answer ur questions, I lost custody bc my ex wanted them to himself & had a lot of $ to pay lawyers to mudsling till custody was granted to him.Trust me, I've been fighting for 5 years- appealing every court decision.I've appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court; I am working on my doctorate now on how mothers lose custody to manipulative/abusive fathers. I am a licensed teacher in the state of VA.Unfortunately, the courts are biased.4th child-full custody, diff. father.

Question: Why is it so hard to escape abusive family?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 09:19 AM PDT

23 (female) no friends, no love life or anything. Been through so much emotional and verbal abuse. My parents always pull me back when its time for me to move. My siblings make me feel like I'm slow and just treat me like ****. And I allow it I went into a deep depression where they put all the blame, guilt and their insecurity on me. Well, I was working at a factory 8 blocks away. I walked... don't have a car. I made my first check and my brother got mad and went to my job and told my manager which is my bro bestfriend's brother. And told them to lay me off and to hire my brother's girlfriend uncle instead. And suddenly the manager randomly lets me go. My brother was mad because I was making money and was about to move. Now I have no transportation but I do drive and have license. And no jobs nearby are hiring. I have no car to job hunt. I will work anywhere. Public transportation is 23 mins from us. My bro is living with us and she spit in my face this morning because she thought I took her hair pins, but come to find out she left them in her friend's car. I have to go. Well, anyhow, I signed up for some online courses and will be getting a $2k refund check. And plan to move to Phily where I have a job lined up and will attend college at Temple this summer. But I just got word that my check was sent back to the school for some reason. So they have to send out another one and I should have it next week. What if it don't come? How do I escape with like $50?

Question: Is it weird for a 16 year old girl sleeping with parents and sister?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 08:34 AM PDT

Alright so my 12 year old sister still sleeps with my mom and dad and my bed broke and just literally feels like a rock and I can not sleep there and it feels very cold in my room so that is the reason I'm sleeping the same bed as my mom you see the room has 3 beds in it all together in one my sister sleeps on it and in another my mom sleeps on it and in the other my dad sleeps on it

Question: How do i get overcome anger?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 08:27 AM PDT

For the first years as a teen (13-15 yrs old) i used to be afraid of my dad. I'm now 17 and that emotion turned to anger now. I am angry at my dad for doing what he does and im angry at my mom for not doing anything to help me throughout those years. Everyday when my father talks to me he does so with a threatening tone and it makes me angry. I hold it inside but i get an attitude with my mom because i cant with my father. She thinks it's because i dont like her talking to me but im just angry that she chose him as a husband, married and made him my dad. This anger is very much alive inside me but i just let it out little by little every day. I should feel bad but i dont want to go back to being sad. I want to show them I'm angry and i want to be away from them. Sorry if this doesn't make sense i am just writing down what's in my head.

Question: My father says I am a loser because I did not get into Ohio State (where he and my brother went). How do I get him to see I am of value?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 08:08 AM PDT

I have learning disabilities and I applied for him but did not get in and knew I wouldn't. I am 24 now and graduated last year from DePaul University in Chicago and he wouldn't even come to the graduation saying it was a disappointment. I feel so horrible about this. He came by the graduation party but then left after a half and hour to go to a baseball game his cousin had tickets to. My mother is good and supportive but my father I need because I am a guy. I didn't even want to do college after how hard high school was but I did it for him. It took me five years (as did high school) and he frequently made comments about this. What do I do?

Question: How do I help my mother or get her to get help----read below?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 07:50 AM PDT

My mother lost her mother two years ago in February. She also had to put her father in a nursing home because he has advanced Alzheimer's. The effects on my mother are the following 1. She resents the good health my grandparents on my Dad's side of the family are in and says sarcastic things when we say things like "I am going on a hike with Grandpa tomorrow". 2. She won't speak to her brother who got a little more in the estate due to his mental illness health needs. Mainly he gets the house instead of my mother and her siblings selling it. Her other siblings are fine with this she resents it. 3. She refuses to see a counselor and keeps saying "they are for crazies" and "look what happened to my nephew when he saw one" regarding her nephew who committed suicide while in therapy back in 2004. 4. Lastly, she is rather nasty and argumentative with my Dad like she resents him for having healthy parents. Her mother was only in her late 60's when she died from brain cancer rather suddenly though my my maternal grandfather is much older as it was his 2nd marriage (he is 82). So what do I do to help her? Am I right to stay away from her some (I see her a little but not a lot) because of her bitterness? We tried to talk to her about it but she kept bringing up insults about doctors and her nephews suicide when we suggested therapy. I can't stand her bitterness about her parents house as her brother can't help his mental illness and she is now refusing to talk to him. Her sister whose son it was who committed suicide in 2004 is really mad at my mother and avoiding her also. Especially because of how my mother treats her brother and how bitter she has gotten.

Question: My sister is annoying as ****!!?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 07:41 AM PDT

My sis she's 8 years and she's getting on my nerves. I tried politely asking her why does she do this and she she just rolls her eyes or start to annoy me more. When I get angry with her she'll start crying. Ughh what will I do?

Question: Is my mom overreacting?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 07:36 AM PDT

I've been coming home the past week high and last night my mom went crazy she started crying really hard and moving everywhere I thought she was gonna attack me, she thinks ima end up a loser but I play sports get everychore finished before they come home, I workout, go to school, and just got done with a job interview. I get parents don't want you to smoke but when I come home drunk she says nothing of it. I rarely drink BTW and perfer smoking with some friends instead. Is she over reacting???

Question: Am I a horrible person for not having gone to my grandfather's funeral?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 07:24 AM PDT

My grandfather died when I was 10, and my father asked me if I wanted to stay with a relative from his side of the family instead of going to the funeral. I said yes because: 1) I didn't really have an emotional connection with my grandfather. We used to talk but I never really understood him because his speech was always slurred. He stopped talking to me around the age of 7 or 8 because he had to be put in a home. 2) I just didn't want to be sad. I loved him, but I honestly didn't feel like crying, and especially not in front of other people. I just kind of felt like mourning alone, which I did. Am I the only one that has felt like this? I ask this question because even to this day, my mom frequently brings it up and I know she's still upset about it. I always did visit them actually. I used to visit all of the elders I knew every 2 months, as they lived far away.

Question: When I was between ages of 20 and 22 I was intrusive with family sometimes, now at 30 some still don't like me, how do I get them to change?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 06:58 AM PDT

I have anxiety that was greatly increased by my parent's divorce when I was 11. So in college I started reaching out to people on my mother's side of the family I hadn't seen due to my mother's feuds with her siblings after divorce and after her father died. I would show up without calling at people's houses, invited myself to several graduations, and even called 4 times in a week to ask about Thanksgiving plans. I stopped at 22 when my mother pointed out I was bordering on stalkish. Now 10 years later most from the one uncle's family (Mom's brother) won't have me on Facebook, are polite but brief when they see me, and recently I wasn't asked to a cousin's wedding when the other relatives all were minus me and a sister of mine who never sees anyone. My mother's other brother and her two sisters seem fine with me now. How do I make up for being this way almost 10 years ago? I don't want to be disliked for being weird almost 10 years ago in my mother's family. My father's family is more outgoing so didn't mind these things plus they don't live locally so we see them in trips in summer.

My sibling who is in their mid 20s no longer wants to celebrate their birthday. Prior to our dads death they were all about celebrating it. Just wondering if any one has any ideas about how to make my sibling's birthday a happy occasion for them again.

Question: Is my mum right?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 04:03 AM PDT

My mum NEVER lets me go to concerts because she thinks they are all dangerous. Whether they are in a theatre, hall, arena or stadium, she believes every single one of them is dangerous. I'm now 19 and I have never been to a single one thanks to her. Last week I was gonna buy a couple of tickets to this arena concert with my own money (I was gonna take my best friend with me), but the second the tickets went on sale, my mum ran to me, closed the laptop and said "don't you dare buy them. How many times do I have to say? CONCERTS ARE DANGEROUS!!!" A couple of minutes later, the tickets were sold out and mum said "you'll thank me later." Is my mum right? Are all concerts dangerous? Is it even possible concerts to be dangerous?

Question: Do women like getting their breasts and nipples sucked ? or they just let you do it to excite you while they don't enjoy it ?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 03:23 AM PDT

Several times, my wife told me that she doesn't feel real pleasure when I suck her breasts and nipples, and I also feel like she doesn't really enjoy, except sucking the space between her breasts. I think she only enjoy this. I'm confused because I find it really joyful and I read alot about how to do it, But she doesn't enjoy it.

Question: Is it really worth doing things like cookies a full meal and decorating for holidays when you live by yourself?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 03:17 AM PDT

In the morning i really liked it when my mom would make my eggs and toast, but now when i get up i feel guilty for not cooking something better than a bowl of cereal but if i make eggs and stuff im like is it really worth eating warm eggs for 5 minutes when it takes 10 times as long to make them and then having to wash the dishes. And why do thing like put up a christmas tree? Id feel like im betraying tradition if i dont but if i do its just a sparkly tree whyd i go through all that effort to make it so it can be up for like 2 weeks, and when im not even home most of the day anyways

Question: My sister is in a domestic violence situation...?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 02:36 AM PDT

...what should I do? I am curious about battered women's shelters. She has 3 young kids, and my boyfriend and I only have a tiny one-bedroom apartment. The rest of our family may not be able to help, either. She has very fragile emotional health right now (PTSD and bipolar, with history of suicide attempts) and shouldn't live alone. She needs long term care, at least for a few months. What kind of help should I expect from battered women's shelters? By the way, she will be looking for shelters in eastern washington state, near her family.

Question: My sister wants to be a cop but I'm worried. What should I do?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 02:05 AM PDT

My sister wants to be a police detective to be specific. She is about to graduate from college with a bachelor degree in criminology. She's smart and very hardworking, but I don't think she has the physical capabilities. I know I might sound cruel when I say this but I don't mean this to sound cruel, it's just me explaining what her physical capabilities are. Athletics are not her thing. It takes her about 3 minutes to run a quarter of a mile(12 minute mile). And she isn't strong or tough at all. She could punch me in the arm repeatedly as many times as she wants and as hard as she could, and she would hurt her hand before my arm would even get bruised. And what scares me is that there are way bigger people out there who are also a lot stronger then I am. And they will hit back. I'm not trying too discourage my sister from her dream, but I just think, what if something happens to her? And even though I know she wouldn't want it that way, I would always feel like part of it was my fault because I didn't convince her not to go into the police academy. She's my only family and I just think she has a lot of talent that could be used somewhere else. At the very least are there jobs where she didn't have to be in the field? And I'm not saying women aren't strong enough to serve in the field. I've know tons of women who have kicked my butt and are way more athletic then I'll ever be. And they agree with me as well as a few of my sister's close friends. That my sister wouldn't be athletic enough to make it. And it's not that we're trying to not support her. We just don't think she has a full scope or reality when it comes to her physical abilities. How should I tell my sister what I think? I've tried to tell her before but she just got mad and didn't talk to me for a month. Idk what to do. I know I can't control what she does and all I'm trying to do is keep her safe.

Question: Will a 5 year old girl like this gift I bought?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 01:25 AM PDT

Hi, I bought a gift for my teacher's granddaughter. She is five years old. I never met her but I really like my teacher and we talked about his granddaughter a lot and I wanted to give her something. I bought her a gift from Toys R Us. Got her a set of Frozen necklace + bracelet + 2 rings (Frozen the movie) and a Frozen pink cute hairbrush. I'm worried she doesn't even know Frozen XD but I assume all girls her age know and love this Disney movie. There is a huge hype about it. What do you think?

Question: How To Deal With A Moody Sister?

Posted: 15 Mar 2016 12:40 AM PDT

My older sister who is 15-years old keeps getting angry at me for no reason, today I closed my closet door and she was like, "UGH, STOP SLAMMING THE DOOR." So I told her to shut up because the only thing I did was close the closet door and she started cussing me out and telling my mom that I'm so annoying and that I keep bothering her. She always calls me a loser, no-lifer, and stupid when she has no friends because of her attitude and she can never have fun because all she does is study and she even brings her SAT book along with her ALL THE TIME. What do I do?

Question: Is this favoritism?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 10:43 PM PDT

My mother claims to have sympathy for my older brother, who curses, has gotten caught for marijuana twice, is interested in taking Molly, and is overall rude to me; she says that she sympathizes with him because she was sick a lot when he was little. It is because of this that she refuses to punish him for the disgusting things that he does. However, with me, she gets agitated just because I "talk back" when I am, overall, doing better than he is in school and am trying my best to stay away from what he's taking. She says that it's not favoritism, but I don't know what else to describe it as. Is this favoritism?

Question: 23 years old and mom doesn't want me to move out?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 10:34 PM PDT

I'm 23, just finished undergrad in Houston, and have been accepted to a graduate school in Florida. My mother absolutely does not want me to leave her though! She either wants me to stay or she wants to come with me. I love her to death but I want to live my own life! I stayed at home all through college which is more than what most do. If I tell her I don't want her to come with me she'll get angry then depressed and say I don't love her anymore and that I hate her and that i "would be happier if she were dead and out of the way" (She actually said this to me once). It's so frustrating! Why can't she realize that me wanting to be independent doesnt mean I wish she were dead! She wants me to find a graduate school closer to Houston but I'm ready to leave and create my own path. Any advice on how I can handle this?

Question: Suspicion of a family member on drugs, found proof, should I tell?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 10:27 PM PDT

Posting in Marriage section because there seems to be more of an adult response here. My husband, myself, and a few of his siblings have STRONGLY suspected drug use of one of his sisters for a few years now. She has 3 kids, 3 diff baby-daddies, and doesn't work. Collects welfare and lives with her parents. My MIL swears that SIL isn't on drugs, but if it looks like a tweaker, hangs out with tweakers, stays up all night and sleeps all day, it's probably a tweaker. There are so many signs but my MIL refuses to see them even though other kids that have struggled with addiction she has been really hard on (BIL). We spent time with the in-laws over the weekend. MIL mentioned something about being on the Child Abuse Registry bc of an incident where she bit one of SIL kid's. It's a mess. So I went to the website of the Superior Court in my county and searched my MIL's name to see what the charges were, which ended up being dropped for disturbing the peace. It got me thinking, and I searched my SIL's name, and there it was, plain as day, she was arrested less than a year ago for loitering for drug activity and has a FTA warrant for her arrest because I am assuming she couldn't make court without blowing her cover that she's a tweaker. I am planning to tell my husband, but should we tell the in-laws? She only has custody 1 of 3 kids & recently pulled a "suicide" thing where she left a note. I think she needs help before she gets the 3rd child taken away. Do we tell MIL?

Question: Why do I constantly think about my dad dying?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 10:08 PM PDT

I do not have the best relationship with my mother because she did something my father that is unforgiveable. Maybe this is what causes me to have dreams, and worry all the time about my father dying? When he gets a little sick every now and then, my mind automatically goes to things like, "Is he okay, is he going to die?!" Why does this happen? Thanks

Question: I hate my dance class so much?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:53 PM PDT

Okay, so at school I take a 1 hour dance class during school and then after school I take a 2 hour dancing class that I just started yesterday, and my teacher Christine hates me. First of all, I am the only boy in the whole class and when we are dancing like ballet and stuff she screams "do it right" I do do it right though. I'm a ballerina. Then the girls in there are always whispering stuff about me to each other and they always laugh when I walk in the dance room. And I'm always alone in that class no one talks to me. Should I just tell everyone I hate them ? I was thinking about flipping everyone off and leaving. All they do is complain about me. What are your opinions ? Thanks

Question: What should i do about my step dad?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:52 PM PDT

So, this sounds really weird and im kinda embarrassed by it, but occasionally my step dad and i have sex. It only happens when my mom is gone and it only like every few months. I'm 16 but don't want to tell anyone especially my mom because i feel guilty about it and i dont want to make him mad. And if im being honest, its not like i dont like it. However, I know it cant continue so what should i do?

Question: Do you think this is funny? Am I fat?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:51 PM PDT

So for the record I'm 5'9, 310 lb female. I was at my friends house watching tv and admitedly we were eating junk ( chocolate Cadbury eggs, soda & nachos etc) and anyway her 10 year old daughter came home from school and sat with us. I offered her some of the snacks and she pushes them away saying "nuh uh I don't want to end up biiiig and fat...." Then she giggled, prodded my stomach and goes "like you!" And skips off singing the theme from charlie and the chocolate factory with the bit about guzzling sweets and laughing hysterically... Her mom (who isn't overweight, skinny *****) just cracked up apologized, an said brush it off because she thinks her daughter is "ADD" But now whenever I see them her daughter tells me I need to exercise and will run circles around me at times 'playfully' taunting me and spouting "health advice" like I need to eat veg etc... as if a ten year old knows anything & even stole my phone and ran off with it to "get me to burn calories". it kinda bugs me, especially since her mother is such a close friend of mine and just allows this behavior?? why is she being so rude?

Question: I exaggerate a lot? Please help and be nice?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:46 PM PDT

I am a 16 year old girl. I tend to exaggerate. For example, today my friends and I were talking about how insufferable moms can be. My mom is a bit nosy and I hate it when she asks me to see my phone, so I get mad. Today, I was like telling them how I said I would break my phone in anger and she d have to buy me another one. Stupid answer, I know, but still. It was the spur of the moment. I was exaggerating how much it angers me when my mom does that.

Question: If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:24 PM PDT

I'm a single mother of 2 and before moving back home with my parents with my children to get my life back together, I was in a 5 year relationship with my children's father. The relationship was mentally, emotionally and at times physically abusive towards me and at times he was also highly aggressive towards our children. He is now at the moment in another state and I am in another. Since the kids and I moved I haven't really bothered him to help or support the kids at all. I do keep in contact with his parents so they can have a relationship with their grandchildren. Anyways I recently emailed him asking him if he could please help me with the kids daycare wise, well mainly just one of the kids because my oldest is in pre-school and my youngest is at home with me at the moment, but starting in the fall I have to go on campus to complete my classes. So I asked him we could come to a monthly financial compromise to help me with daycare expenses where we go half half on it and if his unable to help me I would have get apply for free daycare and for me to receive the free day care I would have to place him on child support, and let's just say he took that as me threatening him. My children's father have not done anything for neither one of my kids from the day they entered this earth. But again he still refuses to help me, Should I just go ahead and place him on child support or just don't bother him anymore about it and the kids?

Question: How often should my son see his paternal grandparents?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:14 PM PDT

I am not married to his father. We are no longer together, his parents are overbearing and I don't trust them at all.(more so his mother) She wants to see him 2+ times a week. The one day I let him go over there he came home smelling like cigarettes. There is thought that his mother may have alzheimer's. Yet my ex still wants me to let him be over there all the time. I think a couple times a month, 2/3 is plenty given the situation. HIs mother has; delayed me feeding him, neglected to change diapers, never washes his binky if it hits the floor/ground. Beyond that the home is filled with arguments/ yelling. There are holes in the walls from my ex. What should I do? Am i wrong?

Question: How to tell my older brother that I smoked marijuana once without him getting too mad?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 09:01 PM PDT

This Saturday, I was hanging out with friends specifically to smoke some weed for the first time, I know my brother smokes weed too but I already know he would get mad. Usually im hanging out with some scum bags in his opinion but this time i was just hanging out with some hippies. He doesnt like the fact I hang out with those "Scum Bags" and i dont really think anything would change from me telling him that i was hanging out with hippies. But anyways, I just feel like I should tell my brother without him getting so mad. My brother does have some anger problems because with any small thing that he finds wrong, he just busts out with rage. I dont expect my brother to be okay with me smoking weed but I dont want him to like go to the extreme and like yell at me and possibly hurt me. I just wanna let him know because hes the only one in the family that i could trust with problems. All my older brothers smoke weed. But I would really appreciate it if you guys have suggestions on how I start the conversation well and get him to not get that mad. Thank you.

Question: I have humility issues and its ruining my life.?

Posted: 14 Mar 2016 08:33 PM PDT

I don't know how to fix this problem and even if I were to try I begin to get irritated and all honesty here, it makes me not want to listen to anyone and find ways to deal with it on my own. But the more you do it on your own, you struggle. Honestly, I hate myself and my life is already going down hill. I am willing to try again. Any advice? Please no rude comments. Issues of not wanting to listen to others and doing everything my way and only my way and so on.
