I m graduating college soon. I have lived my entire life in the Midwest. After graduating, I have an itch to move far far away to California or Arizona. Is it stupid to find a job and move away for very little reason?

Were all sitting in the living room. They're all cracking jokes, acting silly, laughing at stuff. I'm a quiet person so I'm sitting on the couch and just paying attention to the TV... My little brother is doing anything in his power to annoy me. My brother lightly smacks me, I ignore. He slaps me again, I ignore. Unfortunately the second time he smacks me again, I snap so I threw a remote control at him. He's fine. But He basically provoked me. My mom gets really mad at me, and he smacks me again (mom ignored) and threatens to kick my a*s and that he fights everyone at school lol? My mother applauds him for saying that. I got upset at her. Like all I wanted to do was sit down and watch TV and that's what I was doing until he started bothering me. He's 13, I'm 18. I know I shouldn't have smacked him back. I should be the mature one and I was but I just immediately snapped at his on going antics towards me. I don't get why my mom sides with him even though he's obviously wrong. Why does she do this?

Is there a disease that makes people not like kids and wanna treat them poorly? Or is this just a case of my father being an @ss to be one? My son thinks he hates him, but it's how he treats all the male grand children now. He is fine with the female ones. However, he treated us girls just as bad as the boys growing up.

I'm a 19 year old girl, almost 20. I have never been happy with my nose. It's always been a huge insecurity. I find no problem with plastic surgery, however years ago my dads sister died during a nose job due to the surgeons carelessness with anesthesia. Needless to say, it would be disrespectful if me to go get a nose job. However I researched non surgical nose jobs, where they inject fillers to re shape the nose. No anesthesia is involved, and there is no recovery time. My parents tend to over react often and I still live with them (for those who may say you're over 18, do what you want) I was thinking of approaching my mom with this first, but how should I do it? What should I say? Thank you xoxo

So I am the youngest girl in my family ... Im 24 , and we had a family wedding recently.. there was 100 people there in total, we were in the hotel and as the evening continued the drink kept flowing and I got really drunk ,.. the rest of the story I have been told cause I cant remember any of it happening .. I ended up kissing one of the grooms men .. we snuck off and fooled around ... we returned a while later to the dance floor .. really drunk and my dress was still kind of undone but i never realised .. my mother tried to pull it up but i shrugged her off and continued what i was doing .. me and the other guy then snuck off for the night ... My mam told me she still loved me the following day but I feel ashamed about it and embrassed over my behaviour obviously. My dad isnt talking to me .. I dont know why i acted so crazy but Im trying to patch the pieces together again but i wold like other peoples thoughts ........ feel free to share

Dring an argument I said some pretty harsh things to my mom and now I m not talking with her and she s not talking with me. How do I talk with her again without "lessening my dignity" or apologizing? I know some ppl say that they re my parents and that they re and I should apologize but I m looking for other solutions. Thank you!

Ever since I was a child, I've always felt like me and my family never really had any special bond. We never have family time, and I feel that most of the time each of us is doing our own thing/activity. My two older brothers are either playing video games or on their computers, my mom spends countless hours on Facebook, and my dad spends his day in bed watching TV or using his phone. We hardly EVER get out of the house or eat out as a family (unless you count birthdays and special occasions, which in this case, I have to practically DRAG my family out of the house). And that's another thing; whenever we even step out of the house for anything besides grocery shopping or other errands, I'm always the one who has the idea. I feel like I'm the one responsible for it, and I really want that to change. We never go on vacations, but that's really because we're not very rich. Even then, most low-income families still have a little family time, at least. I just don't want to have a family like this who never gets along or spends any time together. It's like we're living in our own world where the other is insignificant to one another. I want this to change. I want to have a normal family for once.

Well,I m 20 years old, going to school and working. I don t do anything wild besides stay out late to work or just relax with friends. So I m barely home. My stepdad has caused a lot of issues at home which causes me to flee a lot. He would cuss at me for no reason,talk bad to my mom and my sister. He even yells at my little brother. And when I say yell,I mean like, hes talking to a grown man attacking him yell. I defend my sister,brother and mother, but when I try they all get mad at me and my mom chooses to ignore what my stepdad does. She got mad at me for him not talking to her due to some arguing. She will blame me and act very childish. My sister would side with my mom and tell me nobody cares how I feel. Which causes my stepdad to cuss me out and threaten to beat me and put me in my place. I feel really alone. My mom twists the story a lot to my family and makes me out to be a bad daughter. All I ve done is defend them when my stepdad gets pyscho but they sometimes throw me out the house and not care where I go. What should I do?

I hate him. I am 12 years old and have a little sister who is 8. My mom and dad are divorced. I live with my mom and see my dad every few weeks. My mom has had the same boyfriend since I was like.. 5. I hate him. My sister hates him too. He is absolutely GROSS! He burps and farts and makes the most loudest noises EVER. Not when he is just eating, but he BREATHES like a fricken broken car motor. Don't try telling me to try to bond with him, cause I have for 7 years. He is SUPER boring and is an electrician. He makes a lot of money which is what I think is the reason my mom stays with him, because they fight like every day. I tried telling my mom that me and my sister don't like him, and she knows it. She just goes "oh stop it!". I can't move in with my dad because he lives pretty far away AND gets very mad very easily so I definetly can't stay with him. My mom's boyfriend always grounds me for being on my phone or just doing the simplest things, and my mom just watches it and always agreed. He acts like he is my dad, but he is not and never will be. His breathe always smells like crap. He always says "get up we are going to shop rite" or some **** like that, then will ground me if I don't get up the instant he says it. Like, ITS FRICKEN 6:00!! Me and my sister absolutely hate him and don't know what to do. He says the word "dude" after every word. He is an absolute pig and I don't know what to do. HELP ME!!

I had to use them with my daughter nlaw and son whom already are 5000 miles away from me. I give only positive comments with them on FB and tell them they can visit anytime.

Leaving one kid behind just cuz the "dad" was annoyed at it

Hey! My name is Elena and I am in high school. I have an ipod so i can text my friends but it requires wifi, and you can't call from it. I really want a phone, but my parents are against the idea because they think that it is too much of a distraction, even though i dont think it will be and i am an A grade student! EVERYONE has a phone in my school, and it's actually needed now. We use our phones in class a lot, and I don't have one so it's always awkward. What do i do? How do i convince my parents to buy me a phone? Please help!! Thanks i need a smartphone bc thats what we use in school... internet, apps, quizlet etc. also i am 14 so i can't pay for it without my parents knowing....

Just interested! I want 4, 2 boys and 2 girls. Their names would (will) be: Rowena Wyn Judith Alethea Carlisle Idris Alford Leif

My aunt frequently comes over to my family's house unannounced to hang out/eat our food/watch tv etc. She just shows up even if we're not here. Nobody minds this really, except for me, and I don't mind it that much because she is a chill lady. Today I had a fight with my mom in the kitchen. I did something that pissed her off, (left a bowl on the counter) she got disproportionately mad (screaming her face off about how I am lazy and ungrateful, she let me sleep in yesterday when I never asked and she worked on chores), I got rude (I told her I was sorry for the bowl and that I never ASKED to sleep in, so could she please not leverage it), we just generally were having a parent-teen fight (I'm 18 if that helps). My aunt comes in via the garage, unannounced as usual. We hear the garage open and close and keep fighting. Then, like two minutes later, we hear it again. She's left, because who wants to walk into a fight? Anyways, the fight ended like 30 min ago and just five min ago my mom yelled at me that I have to call Aunt Beth and "apologize for driving her off". Honestly I think it's her own damn fault. Don't come to people's houses unannounced if you never want to walk into the unpleasantness of their lives sometimes. But I can't say that to her because it would be rude. I don't feel like I need to apologize to her (and I don't think she cares either) but my mom wants me to and if I don't she'll be mad. I can't think of how to say it. What do I say?

so we are gonna go over my step moms to eat and I wanted to go over my boyfriends house after but i don't think he's letting me since it'll be kinda late and I have school tomorrow... I mean I know deep down he would say yes but he's being stubborn. any advice on how to convince him to let me go? thanks!!

When I first showed my dad this house he got all excited, but for whatever reason in situations like these, the longer he takes to call somebody about it, the less likely it is he'll do it. Our current house is way too big after my siblings have left and my parents act like theyre looking to move into town. The house is very practical, priced right (it seems) and currently is being leased so if we needed time to move there would be flexibility. I'm pushing him to call the agent just to take a look to even see if it's worth pursuing (what's the harm?) but hes being stubborn. Im worried the harder I push the more he's going to say no. What can I do to convince him?

I'm 17 years old, barely looming 18, but will be in November. This seems like a common problem on here, but for me it is more than a problem. I've struggled with depression and anxiety and my dad refuses to understand my struggles, so he mocks me. He's called my mom and I lazy and when he lashes out at me and my mom stands up for me, he calls me a "liar" and "weak". He got worse by the time I was in 5th grade. I would deal with bullies at school and then sadly come home to my own bully. I was contemplating committing suicide at an very early age because I felt like I would never be good enough for my dad. He favors my brother more and talks to him more than he's ever done with me. My brother is 12 years old. He gets involved with his hobbies and goes with him to karate classes, he literally takes the time to remind me I'm a slob. I'm heavily involved in music and the performing arts. I started taking vocal lessons in October 2015. Then after that started taunting me saying that maybe I really can't sing. It breaks my heart everyday and it hurts me. I stay up late working on school and planning the week out, but at the same time I get constant headaches. I feel like I'm being ignored on purpose. He yells at me for no reason and when I do something wrong, I'll apologize but he will still yell at me. He's insulted me throughout my life, from elementary to now, and he still can't seem to realize he's literally killing me. I don't know what to do anymore, I just want to be free.

This morning while I was asleep she was cleaning up, and I had my clothes that I was planning to wear to church to usher in and she threw them on the floor. Last night, I picked all my stuff up off the floor when she asked me to do it. (We share a room, and my mama won't let us have a separate room because she fosters children and she only has one other room.) For a little while I kept it to myself, but I was so pissed off at her, because she lost my clothes when she threw them everywhere. I told my mama that I lost my clothes, and she asked me why. I told her because she threw them all on the floor. The she comes in and says that she was cleaning off the dresser and my clothes were in the way and she wanted me to put them up. Then we get into an argument and I yell at her "Well you shouldn't have thrown my stuff everywhere. Do I throw your clothes around? NO!!!" Those were my exact words. So of course this ***** is going to defend herself when she knew she was wrong. Then I yell at her to shut her face up then I'm the one who gets in trouble. She stopped arguing with me after I yelled at her and I was so glad that she did or else I would have beat that bitches ***. She came into MY home and acts like she owns the place. (She's a foster kid.) I start crying because my mama took her side, and I get yelled at. (I'm on my period right now and I was really emotional.) But this ***** has got to go.

First off, I've only been with my BF for 6 months, so I don't want to move in AT ALL yet even though he wants me to. But he wants to build a house on his parents land. This is where his 2 sisters and parents live, in a big open field, and our front yard would be his parents backyard. I don't live near him. We are 1 hour and 20 minutes apart. I told him numerous times I don't have great gas mileage. Right now I have too many commitments here. Work, college, fire dept. He really has nothing holding him down, and doesn't even live near his job. But he is set on raising a family there. I told him I'm wiling to leave, but not that far. I mentioned meeting in the middle, and I'd even buy the land if he's concerned about it being free. I'd have to leave my job, my friends (because a majority wouldn't drive that far to hang out), my family, and find a school closer. I don't want to be unhappy out there, and if it didn't work out I'd be stuck working a job that far and lost everything. I'm not sure what else to say to him? Because of this issue, he told me his mom thinks I "hate his family" because I'm never around. But I hardly have time for myself, nonetheless to drive that far everyday.

My son is biracial/black and I'm white, his father isn't in the picture due to having been deceased not long after he was born, but my son has started to connect with his other family a lot more in later years. For the most part he was raised in a fairly conservative and very "white" environment, he says he often felt different and excluded when he was a child and that it was always made clear that he was different, I suppose it didn't help that my sisters and parents often made comments about blacks either culturally or about certain things that came up in the news but that they weren't directed to him as a person. My mother and father sometimes has a habit of making casual racist remarks about other ethnic groups and even I did it as well without realising until years later. And a couple of years ago my sister got into an argument with my son about how he should respect what whites have given to blacks and how they always feel entitled (bearing in mind my sister was married to a man and didn't have to lift a finger). Now my son lives with his other family, he's become a pan-africanist (I don't know what that really means) and he tries to avoid contact as often as possible and even avoids whites as often as possible (even refused to date this white girl who liked him) and he's told me he wants to phase me out of his life. I'm upset and I don't know how to get him to comeback. He's going to college next year and is probably going to attempt a major in a Science.

I've only seen my biological father a handful of times since I was a child. It was always his choice not to see me when I was kid, Mum would take me to him for visitation and give him money so we could do things and he'd pawn me off on the neighbors or his latest girlfriend's family so they could go out. As an adult, my sister reached out to him and he corresponded with her for a while. When I tried to do the same I was told that I wasn't worth his time. My very apparent disability is an embarrassment to him and he doesn't want people to know we're related. Now my sister is telling me he's got cancer and I'm sorry for him. I'm sorry that his wife is going to lose her husband, his parents are going to lose a child, his siblings a brother, his daughter a father and his granddaughter a granddaughter. His passing is going to affect quite a few people and for them I feel compassion and sympathy. When it comes to me, I don't really feel sorry that he'll not be around in my life considering that he chose not to be there when I was a child or when I reached out as an adult. It makes me wonder if there's something wrong or damaged about me that I don't feel any personal loss at the idea of his death.

Summer is the only time that I get to see them. My mom wants to put me in a program for me to study over the summer so I won't get to see them, but I make straight A's and A+'s in every class consistently. In the Court Order which my dad showed me it says that I have to go to Spain, but my mom continuoulsly says that my education comes first which I know but going to Spain is education. I learn Spanish in Spain. My dad is a college professsor and my mom claims he is inadequite to teach me and prepare me to apply for college. My mom says he is a bad influence on me. Does that make any sense to anyone. Now she wants to go to Court to take me away from my dad forever and to not allow me to go to Spain and to force me into a program I don't want to attend. I love my mom but, it's getting frustrating to live with her. She's always trying to instill these bad messages into me such as lying is good or money is everything to be happy. She constantly calls me a Dummy for wanting to see my father and because I didn't get accepted into the best high schools in America. She's never physically hurt me but she constantly threatens to and I know that I'm going to have to testify against my mom in court if I want it to stop. The thing is that I like the arrangments I have now because, it allows me to see both of my parents. If I go with my dad, my mom says she will never want to see me again and I'll loose her forever. Please give me some advice on what parent you think is right.

Don't tell me things like "dude don't do it it's wrong" because I won't listen to you. Nothing you say will stop me from trying, so anything you say I'll ignore. Also, saying stuff like "what about your dad, why would you wanna hurt him like that?" I also will ignore answers like that. Just tell me, how would I convince my mom to have sex with me?

Yesterday I was masturbating and my dad caught me! After hr yelled at me he told me that i will stay grounded for the following 2 weeks My grounding terms are Not leaving my room Not seeing my girlfriend Having chores Ps: i am 16 years old Ps2: help! Tommorow is my best friends party and i have to go...what to do...what to say to my dad...is fair i got punished fo this??

I think he touched me as well as made me touch him. I can't remember well enough to know for sure. But he refused to let me out of the bed in the middle of the night. Is it possible I was molestsd? He literally dragged me out of my toddler bed at 3am and jerked my arm. My dad walked in on us but thought nothing of it because I was so young. But I tried to tell him I was upset by didn't know how.y brother is now 27 years old and still a virgin. Guess he never gets laid because he's disgusting...

Well ok this has been bugging me for a while. So I really want answers. Much appreciated. And since cause I'm not coping so well at the moment. Well ok my family life have been worse and how do I ruin my sister's life ? I freaken hate her! I hate her sooo much! I really do! And also she isn't so nice and being a bitc h lately. I just hate everything about her. I mean say I'm jealous or whatever but it's really ruin my life and were the only daughters and she isn't much older. I mean I could be a bit jealous but most of all I don't care and just hate how she has to be better and make me feel comparable and feel insecure. I don't let it get to me and it has been a year now and I can't get it out of my head. The only way to escape is to think she is not there. But for every little thing I do she has completely being a BIT CH ! A BIG BIT CH ! Of course it makes you feel bad you don't like being compare like that and she has been one. For most part I feel it taking my happiness away so I shouldn't care and act like she's not there. But people will only see her as better and I don't like that and how she makes me feel less better even though I don't achieve much and make me feel insecure cause she does it. Like she want to be perfect or something. But she has been a big bit ch! Every little thing I do or she do just cause she better than me she always being a bit ch like pushes through me and makes me feel left out I mean what am I suppose to do. I don't even care and I'm not

I am 24. I moved out of my mom's house about 3 months ago. I just feel like my family isn't including me in anything. It makes me feel really sad, like I am not apart of the family. The same with my brother and sister in law. They don't really don't talk to me either. There is no antagonistic feeling with them or my mom but they just seem to leave me out and forget about me. I have pry myself into their lives in order to get anything out of them. My mom always talks to my brother and sister in law and his kids. Sometimes I just want to talk to my mom because I want to talk. I miss her. My brother and I live in the same town and I go over there sometimes but if I don't, I never hear of them or what goes on in their lives. My mom lives 30 mins away but comes to town a few times. I mean for example, the other day I texted my mom and I asked her why the kids (meaning my niece and nephew) were over at her house because I saw a picture on facebook and was just wondering. She texted back and said, Oh, Jenny (my sister in law) may have broken her ankle. She's in the hospital so I am talking care of the kids. Like wtf? No one tells me anything. I always have to be the one to start a conversation...unless it has to do with letting me know some mail came for me at her house. What do I do? Am I just overreacting? Is this what it is like to be on my own? Or is my family ignoring me...maybe not on purpose but just puts me sort of on the backburner?

Or should I have told her what makes me mad? It is stuff I have told her for years and it doesn't do any good (her bad mouthing my father and step-mother). She asked as I see my father weekly and my mother only about once a month. I didn't tell her just because for years I have told her and nothing changes and also I am not sure how much of this is my problem and not hers. So did I handle this right? I am 26 and she is 59.

Unfortunately, my father is not in my life and my mom had me at 15 so for almost my whole life it has just been me and her. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights she likes to go out with friends. Now, I'm at the age where I am going out with friends, but there are those nights where I just wish she'd stay home. I've tried asking her to just chill with me some night and she declines and tells me she " needs to go out after a long week."

so on my birthday last week the 7th i turned 16 and my stepfather didn't say happy birthday all day even though he knows its my birthday actually he has not talked to me since December .we had an argument and my mother said listen to your father wich am not ok with because I don't consider him one we don't get along and I don't trust him ever since he threaten to hurt me all because he disliked my boyfriend and got in my space and looked me in the eyes and told me he'd hurt or kill me if something happened to my mom ?? I guess he felt threatened by my bf he's my first boyfriend and he doesn't like him even tho my mom loves him he's very respectful young man I don't see why he doesn't but I did apologize to my stepfather because of what I said even though I didn't feel I had to I did it out of respect for him being the man of the house taking care of us I just expected, at least, a happy birthday from him anyways my mom told me she would give me some mall money and take me out to eat I guess she lied to me and isn't going to :( and now i just feel sorta sad maybe am just being a pouty brat :( just its my 16th and i imagined this one bday to be good

I am moved out and want one pet. We had two dogs that died many years ago that my mom would not let inside/train. I would not want a pet now if I wasn t fully equipped to care for it and if I didn t need one. I mention it, she freaks out and has 10 million things to refuse (as if she would even know it EXISTED). For the sheer fact that I am dying to get a pet after she told me for my entire life that I could get "whatever pet I wanted when I moved out," because she refused to get me a dog my entire childhood. She refuses to say "Ok, you can try it" to anything. She hates my father, they haven t kissed in my 20 years of existence, she has stayed married to him without a degree or one job because he works. She forced blind religion down my throat and was OCD overprotective. She has not made ONE friend in 6 years. My mom sits on her *** and watches TV all day I have to assume. And by getting my degree, I am the one wasting money. She ignorantly supports Trump. I have been dying to go to Italy for 6 years, never asked for anything else, and she has refused to support me in doing so ever since I brought it up. My sheep brother (a full grown, graduated adult with all the time in the world and a degree paid for by my parents) mentioned that he wanted to go to Costa Rica for a "mission trip," my mom blasted it all over her facebook page the same day, telling her Christian friends to donate to his wonderful cause. She apologizes for nothing, I cannot stand her.

Doing the silliest things make him infuriated...like today i stayed to long in a bookstore and he came in and made a huge scene and yelled at me the whole way home. And the other day he found vodka in my room (not a silly thing but I mean It s sort of expected?) and dragged by my hair into the car and dragged me up the stairs of my house and then pushed me off my bed onto the floor. In the summer he even put me in a chokehold all because I wanted to go to the beach with 2 friends against his wishes...i don t have memories of him acting in such a way except for the past year or two, and i have lived with him almost throughout my entire life. My mom said that when my her grandpa (my grandpa s dad) died he was very mean and unpleasant because of the pain he was in. Not sure of this correlates. But I figure there is something physically wrong with him-if not physical pain then possibly dimensia.

my parents make me come in at 6 every day even weekends because that's when it gets sorta dim outside

Well my dad has a girlfriend they live in in another state, I live with my mom, and when they had there first baby I had to find out he nor her did not tell me and of course I was upset. Then next year I went over back to my dads house and he told me I HAVE ANOTHER SIBLING and that she was already born. That all happened like 4-5 years ago and now I found out about 1-2 months ago , through Facebook, that his girlfriend was prego AGAIN and I don t know weather to confront him or wait for him to tell me😔

The only thing I ever do with my dad is school work. When he comes home, the first he says is: "What do you have due tomorrow". We then spend 5 hours reviewing the boring homework which turns out to be ok for him and we do not need to change anything. We never do anything together, and never did. I want to have a father but I do not know what to say. I am too scared to say, lets not do school work because my Dad will say back: "But your grades are your LIFE." An example of how homework crazy he is just this weekend. Yesterday night, I was forced to review my latin homework with him, which was perfect. TODAY AGAIN, he wants to review want I learned in class, which we had already reviewed on Thursday. My dad only cares about my college. He always wants to turn my passions into reasons for a college to accept me. "How about a programming club", etc. Any help on how to have a dad?

My step dad is a cop and he always puts this hardcore tough guy act on. When you walk into the same room as him, you are immediately intimidated because you cant shiw any signs of weakness or nervousness around him. He always talks about fighting people, how no one can stand up to him. I have never done drugs or got into trouble with the law. I never became pregnant as a teenager (im now 21 with no kids still) i graduated high school and I am a really good person. My mistakes were jobs and blowing money... But i learned from them...i have grown up a lot.... And he makes me out to be a piece of crap and I don't understand why. His rules are kids are out immediately at 18. They have to fend for themselves. I ONE TIME accidentally locked myself out of the house and had to knock on their window and he told me that it was a good way to get shot. I dont have a degree or in school, i try working jobs above minimum wage to support myself, I never ask them for anything in the world. I have struggled and been hungry while living on my own and never asked them for anything. I lived eith them for a short while and did some yard work and he just brushed it off his shoulder. Yet he makes his wife out to be golden. She lives off of him and does not even love him. She herself told me that. She is a bad mom that didnt take care of her two kids and seems to never wanna be around them. She makes them feel worthless yet she is a queen to him.... Why?? I have zero worth and self esteem

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.

My mother is a total *****. I dont understand why. She is always yelling at me for not respecting her. I do but fr why should i. She does nothing for me at all. I do all of my own homework, i wash my own clothes, cook for myself, and rhe woman cant even clean her own house i do. She is a stay at home mom so there is no excuse. The ***** doesnt take me to or from school and whenever i have something i need to go to for a sport she gets someone else to take me. But my brothers are a whole different story she takes them everywhere and cooks for them and washes their clothes. She says they respect her but the only reason they do is because she respects them. She doesnt respect me. She talks to me like im dirt. She has given me a never ending punishment of no driving which is ridiculous bc i have my permit and i need to learn. I dont understand it pls help.

Hi, I'm a 13 year old boy and I guess you could call me your stereotypical teenager. I don't know if this is considered being abused but let's see what you people think. So my Mom always makes faces at me so that I will yell at her and so that she can get a laugh, if I even say a word to my mom that you can consider a bad word like "crap" then my dad will beat me. My Mom says she protects me when she does the COMPLETE opposite. My mom does all these things like annoying me, making faces, and cursing at me and just overall put me down so that I literally cry and that makes my Dad annoyed so he beats me. My dad, most of the time he is nice but my mom like forced him to beat me, even if I try to touch my Mom he will say one more time and I will put you in a hospital so you can't walk again. Now this may seem like a average thing a father says to his children but he means it, one time he slammed by brother hard on a wooden floor in his room to make him cry for days and even took away his girlfriend because she was a different type of catholic and threatened to beat him. I don't want to move out of my house, I just don't want my parents hurting me and always putting me down. I have scars on my body that are probably mostly from my Dad. In fact, the other knight I didn't even do like anything and he took his fist and punched my on my head and I fell on the ground and went crying to my room. Please help what do I Do?

Well I have no idea that she was killed she's an officer and had to do something late last night and she has still have not returned home, I'm scared if I lost her. I get super worried if someone does not return home without making a phone call.

I'm 26 years old, college graduate, work full time and my parents are giving me a rough time about everything. They criticize everything about me, from my weight to my boyfriend. I'm planning to go to law school...and I'm thinking I should move out since it's so toxic here which is why I have been looking for another job that pays more. When I confront my parents about the way they treat me, they say I'm making a big deal and that it's all in my head. For example, yesterday, they wanted to me to go visit my grandma with my mother (Keep in mind, my grandmother doesn't like our family, my parents talk so much trash about her), I already had plans to hang out with my boyfriend. They got so upset and I told them that "I work 40 to 50 hours a week and study and go to my lsat prep course, this is the only day I get to see him and have some fun." They were pissed because he visited me at work and brought me lunch. Additionally, My mom took all my money in my savings as back rent...so I'm starting over to save once again. My boyfriend wants me to move in with him and he will let me use his car since my mother will be taking my car away from me when I move out (Keep in mind, I make the car payments and pay the insurance, but it's in her name and always tells me if I leave with the car, she will call the police to report it stolen. Fingers crossed, I get a better paying job soon so I can leave.

My brother is an at-risk teen, he is 19 so now an adult. He has behavioral problems that started around the age 10. He even went away once to a residential school for at-risk teens but it didn't do any good. My mother has moved out for a time because she cannot take the pressure of his behavior and worrying about him. My parents constantly fight about him. They will not talk about it much with anyone outside the family and tell me not to tell any of my aunts how bad he is doing. They also have him bail both times he was arrested (shoplifting and public intoxication). So my question is how do I get over the fear that the whole family will fall apart because of my stupid older brother. I fear my parents won't be the same and if he is home he makes my parents miserable but if he is away my mother gets depressed and guilt ridden. He even wrecks family events like when he went into a rage on Thanksgiving because the car keys were taken from him when he was caught with pot. What do I do about this fear I have? I am 16 and stuck at home.

I never liked my step dad he's very immature and would take his anger out on you when he's in a bad mood..sometimes he can be nice but be the biggest ****** ever..whenever I'm around him hes starring at me controlling everything I do..I love my mom but she has attitude problems she's gets mad very easily..and also when she's in a bad mood she takes it out on everyone..so I hate being around them I just don't feel like "my own person"..I'm 22 but I don't feel like an adult since they treat me like a kid..I hate being around them so much..I feel so much happier when I'm alone..is this bad?

He came from an abusive family. His dad used to hit him, not pay for college, and was stingy. His Dad divorced his mom and married another woman and had children. Nobody in his family CARES about him. Nobody calls him (even his bros & sis). He lacked love. What does he want from life. Im 17 yo girl BTW. My dad doesn't take responsibility and he is lazy. He watches TV, no vacation, and he is somewhat self destructive.. Why does he avoid responsibility? And why does he act like me and my mom are bad evil people and he is the hero? He puts us down, and he never says Im sorry. Why is it so hard for him to say Im sorry, lets try to work this out? why does he spend his time lashing out at my mom instead of trying to be a happy family? That's when I stopped loving him, becuz he doesn't take care of my mom. I hate him for that. I said to him that "Nobody loves u, I don't love u" When he is in the kitchen with me and my mom, I say "When are u going to leave?" His face turned red and he began to scream. When I say That nobody loves u what are u doing here, his face becomes angry. Why is it that when I stopped loving him and start to show hostility towards him that he says Im a bad person? What does he want? He has no social life. I tell him to go die, becuz even when I explain to him that it is wrong to verbally abuse my mom, he doesn't listen. What causes him to lash out like that? He always blame others.. One time my mom said, why don't u take the kids out for vacation. and he walked away saying, "When they are married, let their husbands take them."

I am a guy and I have asked this question before about having nine protective brothers before and I do have nine protective older brothers so I am not a troll. Well anyway and I am 22, and I have aspergers syndrome and I am the youngest of my family and the ones who are over protective of me the most are my older brother and older sister. My older sister always tries to act like a mother to me and she makes me more disabled than I really am an then my older brother is very protective of me and he is a jock who is 6'4 and is very protective of me when it comes to dating. He is afraid that because I have aspergers that I am going to get taken advantage of by some girl. I am not stupid and I don't have social problems and I can handle stressful situations. Its just my older brother and sister are the problem. How do I get them to back off?

My older sister has been married twice. She no longer speaks to or of the in laws and that entire family from her first marriage. For that first wedding I was the flower girl and her then husband's nephew the ring bearer. We were both about 10. I'm in college now and I have a class with him. I want to speak to him because he was always sweet to me and he still seems very sweet but my mom says I'm not allowed because my sister will have a fit. My sister and I don't even speak anymore for other problems. She apparently doesn't even want to hear my name which is fine with me but what's not fine is that I still have to abide by her rules.

She came from Kuwait, she is stingy, unattractive, and has low self esteem. She hates people for no reason even if they are nice to her. She is stingy with her children, she feeds them little, doesn't but them proper clothes (used one or clothes that are worn over and over again). She is malicious to the people that she hates. Is it from jealousy why the maliciousness? She is not a good person. What causes her to be a bad person? Child abuse (she came from a poor family). Instead of enjoying life, she tries to save money. Her 8 yo old was OBSESSED with me. I was a 13 yo girl and she was 8, & while I was trying to live life, she starts to copycat me. Her children r angry people. She lies a lot and she has a heart of steel. She one time said to me "Have u ever watched a guy eat breast meat on TV and go yum yum?". And the only time I see her happy is when I do something wrong....... She is very aggressive, becuz she taught her kids to call me fat. Is she a selfish person, but why so? Is it becuz her own siblings used to hit her when they are children? True,

my mentally ill brother nearly killed me by strangling me and said i'll slaughter you repeatedly. my mother said she will disown me if i call the police or my dad. i can move to my dad's but i won't get freedom because he said i don't deserve to be happy and once said i was a mistake.

Help please! I'am in a lot of mess right now....my dad annoys and taunts my mom and he has been behaving badly with her and cheating on her for the past 27 years.....now that I'am a grownup I understand fully that what has been going on all this time and I just cannot tolerate it anymore because he used to hurt my mom and me to impress his sisters and mother who hated her due to her talents...so I help her now and don't let her do what dad "commands" her to do, I do it instead but now he has started to ask me to do his work shamelessly maybe because he wants mom to feel guilty and start doing his work....he is very clever and manipulative...but I don't do it neither does Mom but I'am afraid of the consequences...because his mother is mad and hates all of us for no reason and so is he...he may defame me in the whole family as he has defamed mom and anyone who joins in to help her....he starts behaving badly with those people the has started to behave badly with me too....like throwing taunts at me like "you're such a good kid" when I help mom...but I reply "that I'am" but still no use..... I'am not like my mom I speak up sometimes but he calls it "arguing" and I say that I'am not arguing but he does not listen....sometimes he looks crazy like he could do anything at any time.

So I'm 17, English, and I'm on an apprenticeship. I earn £496 when my pension is deducted. My parents make me pay £400 to them every pay day, so I have the remainder £96 for me to spend. My parents currently pay for my phone bill which comes to £40 pounds. My board money pays for my driving lesson which is around £150 a month, though it's been cheaper this month as we have paid it in advance. The rest of the money they use for bills and them to go out places. My sister works full time, and they ask for £600 off her (that includes car insurance and phone bill) I mean, we don't live in a mansion just a typical house. Am I being unfair that I think I'm working really hard for peanuts?

I really hate my stepdad, but I really love my mom and I can't tell her because it will upset her. What should I do? There's no abuse going on or anything like that I just really do not get a long with him.

I moved out for the first time at age 26. Now I'm always angry with them. When I moved out my roomate told me I wasn't normal and she was sorry for me. I cried for 2 weeks. After that I was depressed for 1 year. When my mom calls me I yell against her. I tell her I'm useless and it's her fault. When I go to my parents' house I don't talk with them and I watch TV, read books or listen to music. When I talk with my mom I tell her she told me to do nothing when I lived with her so she was a bad mother. I tell her she's obese and I'm ashamed of her. I says I don't want to see them but I feel like I have to. When my mom cooks for me I get angry because she liked to do everything for me when I lived with her. When she does something for me I get angry. When my mom tells me to date I tell her I never had a boyfriend and it's her fault. I feel so angry and I don't want to see my parents anymore. I remember I had a fight when I was 11 yo because I wanted to shower myself and my mom wanted to that for me. She choosed my outfit every day until I was 18. I had to fight when I was 20 yo because I wanted to dry my hair and my mom wanted to do that. I had to fight in my teens and 20s because my mom was jealous when I talked with women her age. My dad is addicted to painkillers and I can't have a conversation with him because it's like he is on drugs. Other people thinks I'm shy and sweet and they wouldn't never know I'm so horrible. English isn't my first language.

If it happend accidently will you be punished by society??

The man on my birth certificate is not my father. Neither is the man that raised me. I found 2 guys that could be my father. But neither of them want any thing to do with me. I don't blame them. I am 33 and my mother was a loose woman. I only found these guys cause a few people witnessed my conception. And I do look like them. But my mother claims that my father is also my older brothers father. But I look nothing like them. And I don't want her to tell people that this man is my father cause he is my aunt's ex husband who is also my cousins father. In essence no man wants to be my father even the man that raised me as his own is quick to Deni that I am his child. And I don't really care. But the man that she claims is my father is a horrible man, and a racist. And being that I am a white woman with a black husband and mixed kids. I would rather not be mixed up with this guy. I don't speak to my mother due to the fact that she has issues with me and the way I was conceived. And the fact that my older siblings don't like me cause of this also. So how can I get this woman to stop telling everyone that he is the father. And am I right not wanting people to believe this?
