Okay, so recently, my dad and I moved in with my great aunt (temporarily, our house is being renovated). She's like 57 and says and does all these things that either irritate me, offend me, or just plainly hurt my feelings. For example, the other day my brother came to visit (he's 11 and lives with our mom). He ate tons of food and used a different plate each time. I, on the other hand didn't eat anything. Guess who had to wash dishes? Me. Apparently washing dishes is a "woman's job." Another example is when we were talking about college (my senior year is quickly approaching). She told me that I was going to be a fool and let some boy get me pregnant. When I asked her why she would even say something like that, she simply said, "because it happened to me." When I tried explaining to her that we were not the same person and that its not the late 50s anymore, she told me I was being disrespectful and told my dad. This last example isn't all that bad, it just irritated the hell out of me. Okay so this morning, I was getting dressed for school in my room and watching music videos. She came and stood at the entrance of my door (after I had finished dressing) and was watching the videos with me. So then she started commenting on every little thing. I wanted to yell and say that its just a freaking music video but I didn't want to be rude. So I guess what I'm asking for is help on how to tell my aunt respectfully how old fashioned and irritating she is before she drives me mad.

I am 5 6" my mom is 6 1 1/2 and my dad is my height.

I live on my own but I often have my little sisters over. We are very close and we can tell each other anything. My mom told me that if she was being rude with her phone usage to take it away. She talks to this guy non stop for 3 plus hours at a time. I work full time and go to school. I told her it's not fair to talk to that kid if she is spending time with someone else. I tried to take it away like my mom said and keep it until our visit is over. What are some other options to get her to realize what she is doing is wrong? She has become secretive and has been lying to family members about this kid. Thanks in advance

My family moved into our first home last year, my mother was living with friends and asked to stay just until the summer was over, it's now been over a year and she is still here. She has had 2 jobs but now claims she cant work anymore and is not providing anything for herself or help for us. I'm 21, married, and have a toddler. She tries to play mom and controls what my daughter does. I want to figure out adulting on our own and not trying to support her as well. I've talked to her many times about moving but she always makes me into the bad guy for wanting to be alone with my little family. We are to the point were kicking her out is our only option. Any help is appreciated on how to talk to her or convince her to leave.

I have a twin sister and a younger sister by four years. I'm 16 and although I've moved more times than I can remember I've never had my own room. My mom thinks it doesn't matter where twins, so of course we love each other and can't be separated. We do not get along at all and the fighting gets worse everyday. It's already hard enough being a twin and not feeling like an individual and always being grouped together. I feel like I have no personality and will never. I can never have friends over cause my sisters right there. I just really need my own space. And I don't have any sort of place to study not a desk not nothing. Anyway we have a spare room which no one ever goes into ever. And I asked my mom and she said yes, but there she said I had to ask her bf (soon to be husband😖) said no. And I keep asking but they think I'm being ridiculous we moved to a different state so they could live together in his house and he can't make one small compromise. I Just want a place to be me and finally have privacy and do what I want without being put down about everything. I need to feel like a person instead of being twins. Plus it'll be so much easier to have a social life. Am I being selfish?

I have a twin sister and a younger sister by four years. I am 16 years old and although I ve moved more times than I can count I ve always had to share a room with my twin sister. I feel that u need my own space we don t get along very well and we fight more and more everyday and they just get worse. It s hard being a twin not feeling like an individual and always being grouped together. It s hard to make your own friends and develop your own personality. I can t ever have friends over because of my sister. And I really want to do my own thing it would be nice to be separated for once, and figures out who I really am. Anyway we have a spare room that literally no one ever goes into its a lot smaller than our room but I don t care I want my own space. I ve asked my parents several times but they think I m being ridiculous. Literally it s never used and I need it. Am I selfish and ungrateful?

Hi. It s been a while since they started to asking me to find an apartment. I m 17 and I really need to graduate; I can do this low part time job forever. And I can t imagine what made me this intolarable around the house. I don t grumble at chores or be disrespectful to them. I really feel bad about being in this situation. What shoud I do?

Is it wrong that we stated that if we run out of food that they are out of luck? My parents are paying for this so they don't want to waste their money. Also is it wrong that I refuse to make a seating chart for grown *** adults?

I found my little brother on Facebook. He works in a place that is about an hour away from my house. He lives with his mother but we have the same father. His mother told him stories about our father that have him enough of details that he wants nothing to do with our father. (Our father broke her heart by leaving her so she keeps their son away from him) but he doesn t know about his brothers and sisters that want to meet him. One of our sister "stalks" his Facebook because she doesn t know what to say to him. I m giving it a try and I want to message him but I don t know how to come about it. I m moving to Florida which away from him so I want to meet him before I leave. Any suggestions on what to say to him and tell him I m his older brother? I even got the first initial of his name tattooed on my arm as well as my other siblings.

I strongly want to do this, would i be able to take my husband and daughter with me?

I'm 17 I'm going to 18 in a few weeks and I am dreading it. I will probably cry on my birthday to be honest . My dad took me away from my mom when I was young and barely let me see her. I live with her now but she's in poor health and I'm afraid I'll wake up to find her dead. My dad was an alcoholic and emotionally abused me for years ... And still is cruel to me whenever I try to talk to him to make things better . I've given up now tho. I hate him he took my childhood away from me and now because of him my time with my mom is running short .I'm tied between killing myself and killing him.I already act like a child and I'm really immature and people think I'm weird because of it. But I can't help it. I love to act like a child and I need to . I don't want to grow up. I hate my dad so much . He destroyed me I already had social aniexity and now it's worse. And he won't even apologize he ruined my life . And I want to die.

For example: you're waiting in line at the grocery store and a child behind you is touching your butt, even going as far as poke into your butt crack. The mother is right behind the child and says nothing to them. Just letting him do it doesn't teach him a very good lesson. If he was a grown man, that would justify a shove at the very least (I'd say a slap across the face, but I don't want a bunch of "violence is not the answer" remarks) and some choice words. But if they are a kid? (Who continues to do it when you shoo away his hand and shift around.) The exact scenario happened to my sister and she just let it happen until we checked out and left. I'd personally have the urge to smack him, even though he's a kid and that's probably illegal or something. I guess you can always confront the parents, but if they're watching they obviously don't care. She was clearly uncomfortable. She kept turning back to give the kid and mother dirty looks.

I was laid off from my job and I had a VERY hard time finding another one. I was behind on my rent and told my mom that I might have to move back in with her. A week later, I got a call from my old employer who wanted me to come back to my old job. I jumped at the chance and went back to work. A few months later I was talking to my mom about my great luck getting hired back at my old job. Mom told me that it was not luck that I got my old job back. I asked her to explain. Mom said she told my ex husband who both of us are still friends with about my problem. He was friends with the company owner and he asked the company owner to hire me back a personal favor. She said "Now you know the truth but please do not tell you ex husband I told you. He does not want you to think he is messing with your life". When I ask her why he would do that for me she said "He is a great guy that wants the very best future for you". That is the nicest thing ANYONE has ever done for me in my whole life. I feel that I have to repay him for his kindness in some way. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I CAN DO TO REPAY HIM.

I feel like I got the short end of the stick genetically, as I am much smaller then my father (he's 6foot 230ish, I'm 5'10 140, my moms not tiny either and my brother is huge) feel like that if im not as good physically I also got the short end intellecutally. Like I always feel like I'm less then I should be and I think about this everyday and it kills my self confidence. Just would like to hear some opinions thanks

COME ON, OBVIOUS AREAS 1. how much money they have saved up and in their bank account 2. how much they really love you or dont 3. their physical and mental health 4. They are honest they are not cheating on anybody 5. honest about drug use or not

ok so my mom is the strictest parent you'll ever meet my older brother is 22 and he's not allowed to date yet! She's so strict and basically thinks she owns us whenever i ask her why when she tells me no she gets so mad and tells me she's free to rule her kids however she wants and i just feel so dirty right now im soaking in sweat and she wouldn't let me shower it's my third day already and she's willing to make me go all the way without a shower. I've been having my period for more than six years now and still can't get to convince her what should i do?

Hi I'm young only 14 and my family is always fighting. I live with my mom and my grandma along with my sister. My sister is my twin also 14 anyways my mom and grandma are always fighting. Whether it's about our dogs or my grandma not listening to my mom. I wish my mom would just realize that my grandma won't be here for ever and I wish she would show my grandmother some respect. Also my sister is always picking fights with my mom and grandma, she is very disrespectful and I believe it's because of her boyfriend. She never acted like this before they started dating. Is there anything I can do to make all the fighting and arguing better? Also anything I can do to make my sister have some respect? Thank you.

I think it is my parents fighting because my mum moans and tells my dad to slow down. But other times she would just yell "more, give me that" and always says "OMG". And their door is locked, so I can't really tell what they are doing. During the day, my mum and dad would tell me to close my ears, and I would see my dad staring and playing with my mum's special Areas. I'm 14.

She taught me growing up that all these people didn't want a relationship with me. She even taught me that my father who had alcoholism didn't want a relationship with me. As a teen I realized she was lying. I realized my father wanted a relationship regardless of the drinking and that the other people all liked me just fine. So now at age 25 I am obsessed with social anxiety because of what she did to me. She otherwise was a good mother so I don't want to be bitter at her the rest of my life. However, she gave me this anxiety by venting her feelings about my father and others. I know am in therapy because I have severe anxiety which might partially be for other reasons but is largely due to my mother. Any advise? @linkus86---I agree I need to take ownership of it now and that is what I am doing (and by all means I do love her and she was overall a good mother). The people though that she told me didn't like me had NO problem with me and she did this because of HER feelings, not mine or theirs. She was not being protective though, she only was venting and it hurt me and caused the social part of my anxiety.

I am 22 years old living at home with my parents. They bought me a car and are putting me through college. They are very very strict with me. They never cared for me emotionally, only financially. They think that providing shelter, food, a car, and college is good parenting skills, which I believe is great. But they were never there for me emotionally. They hated all the friends I had due to their race. They only wanted me to be friends with white people... Now I have a boyfriend for 5 years and he is Latino. They hate the fact that I am not with a white guy..... So they look for ways for me not to see him. So my point is, if I move out, what is the worst they can do to me? I work full time and make a decent salary compared to most people my age. The only thing I am afraid is that they will disown me because I hurt their feelings by leaving them. They may take my car away since they bought and they may stop paying for my college. If that was to happen, I do not mind because I can buy my own car, even a better one! & for college, I can apply for financial aid or a loan? Would it be worth leaving them for freedom and emotional reasons? I feel that living with them I always have to be afraid of them and of what they think of me.... To clarify, I do not need emotional support but parents are suppose to be there for you when you need advice. Every time I would speak to them about something, they would blame it on me and always make me feel like I am trash. They do not care about my feelings or were never concerned about my mental or emotional health. When they are on vacation, and I have the house to myself, I feel at peace.... I can actually cook what I like, watch what I want, ect

I have had the terrible luck of conceiving and birthing two narcissist. I know, it's a long shot, but given their upbringing it's not unbelievable. Their father was insanely abusive to me. I've been to the hospital 6 times over the course of our 12 year 23 year old marriage. I just divorced him. They were also physically abused, but to make up for it I babied them a lot. I told them they were great at doing something when they'd actually be doing bad, I'd cheer them on for whatever reason. I now see my wrongs and I regret them a lot. The eldest is 22 and the young one is 17. My older son is back home now since he lost his job, so now they're back in the same house together. It's been hard. They constantly argue and yell at each other. Their latest argument was about religion, and it lasted for hours. When I yelled at them to stop it, they told me to shut up because I don't even know what they're talking about. For the most part, they stay out of each others way. My youngest is a somatic narc, so he keeps the house tidy and in return I give him the congratulations he wants and he and I peacefully coexist. But, when he does something wrong and I try to discipline him, he's never wrong. It's always "No, I didn't say that." Or "That's not true, you just don't like me.". He got really mad last time and started screaming and destroying everything in the house! I still did not get an apology, but he sure did demand one from me. He demands the most expensive clothes, phones accessories. I almost had a heart attack the last time he had an outburst and he unethusiastically went for the phone to call 9-1-1. The other is worse. I know they are sub types of NPD and I believe the youngest to be Histrionic and the eldest to be Anti social. The only times they aren't arguing are when they're both teaming up on people, or coming up with illegal plans. They both came up with the idea to get under the table jobs to avoid taxes, move in together, get welfare AND unemployment. They already tried bringing me into the scam, trying to get me to let one of them use my address for the welfare to be to. This has been hard for me. To come to the realization that your kids don't love you at all has been beyond heart breaking for me. I know I can't help them, but I feel so bad for them. They're going to cause so much damage and they'll just think everyone around them is the problem. Any advice would be great Sorry this went on too long.

There is nothing to do at all. I've been banned from playing videogames due to bad grades on my report card. So I took it pretty well and went outside and played basketball or jumped on the trampoline instead. But now that it's vacation week and my dads not home he won't let me go outside because it is "dangerous" I'm not that old of a teen im only 13 but it is just my backyard! We live in a fairly safe neighborhood. We have only had one true instance of some bad guy near our house in 3 years! And that bad guy was just running away from doing something else bad. I don't get why I can't go outside. I tried talking to him but he didn't listen. Got any advice anything else I can do for fun. Anything else I can do. Im not punished for my current grades I am punished for the rest of the school year for bad grades on my report card. So what do I do when my work is done I am trying harder now. You guys didn't read my previous update so it's unlikely you'll read this one despite if I get all A+'s for my grades right now I will still be banned until the end of the school year. I am banned from videogames because I had a bad report card. Im not banned from going outside. Im only banned from going outside because my dad is afraid I will get hurt. My god since no one actually read the question besides William G im going to give him the best answer :) thanks william

ok, first of all my mom is very irritating with me, she treats me like a piece of sh**, but when it comes to my brother she is so different. My brother, he is irritating as well, he even tells her "shut the f*** up mom" "you scumbag" "you little sh**" and she doesn t do anything at all. Anyways she starts criticizing my body, which that gave me depression and I almost committed suicide, she starts calling me names like "fat lard" "big pig" "you don t do anything but pick your nose you, fat @ss" but she says that like she means it, like she hates me. My dad is diabetic, he treats me a lot more better than my mom. But my mom starts criticizing him as well, she says that he is just an old man and he can t do anything, while he pays all the bills and my mom doesn t even go to work. Well with my brother she is so "sweet" she treats him like a king when he starts calling me names she says I should be quiet because I m a female. And if I try to defend myself from him, she begins to yell at me while my brother was the one that started all by calling me names. Another thing she even killed almost all of my pets, she killed my hamster and my dog. Just because she was mad at me. Another day I got tired of her and I said "You are hurting my feelings" and she said "I don t give a f*** about your feelings, f*** your feelings". I don t know if this is legal or something but personally I think this is Verbal Abuse. Please give me some advice, please don t be rude this is serious

I'm 16 years old and for 4 years i have been always sad because my mom whom i never even really knew left when i was 7 years old and my dad who was very abusive and a alcoholic left 4 years ago. I have been living with my grandma but even that is hard because she has a lot of medical issues and there is always yelling in the house and she is not someone you can talk to. I always struggled a lot emotionally even till now because i always wished i had real parents and it upsets me when i see others with loving parents. When i was 14 i was so depressed that i almost committed suicide twice and my grades suffered a lot because i couldn't concentrate...No matter what i always have a lot of anger and sadness in me because of it and get really emotional if i just bring up my mom and dad. I have never told anyone about it for years because i don't think anyone understands. Because of all of what happened i barely have any friends because i have major trust issues and always get in relationships hoping it will take the pain away or make me happy. Now that i am in high school i always try to stay strong and not let it get in the way of my school work but i still am unhappy on the inside and i even get flashbacks in my mind about the abuse i went through with my dad. How can i get over this lingering pain please???

I'm fifteen and my little brother is fourteen. He has serious anger issues :/ if you ask him to do anything then he starts to scream and gets really aggressive. A few weeks ago he even put a boy in a choke hold at church. He's obsessed with knives and fire. Whenever he gets really angry he throws his knife collection at his wall in his room and pretends that it's a person. And he lights the toilet paper on fire in the bathroom. I'm really scared of what he might do if he just snaps one day. He's been in counseling for two years now but it hasn't really helped and my mom just constantly makes excuses for him. What do I do? I hate being home because I feel like I'm constantly living in fear of my brother.

I'm a junior in college and have worked super hard the last couple semesters trying to finish early. I'm graduating next year and have huge hopes of going to Tennessee for their physician assistant program, in hopes I get accepted. Well my sister just found out she is actually graduating with me and I'm so excited. When my cousin found out we were graduating next year she changed her degree and went the associate route so she could finish next year. It really bothers me because my family puts her on this pedal stoll. She is everything when the family gets together. She'll actually graduate a week before we do I believe next year so she'll have this huge blowout party and probably go on vacation afterwards. Like I said I plan on applying to the physician assistant program so I have more schooling to go after my undergraduate. I'll have about 2 years to go after and she keeps throwing it up in my face she'll be done after this. This is the career path I chose so I'm okay with more schooling. She plans on being a funeral director and her boss already offered her a job. She hardly ever went to school but yet I worked so hard to get where I am. She already has a job offer and gets to actually graduate early. What did I do wrong. How can I just stay focused.

When I came back from school I was all happy by then when my mom came to pick me up I felt angry.... I don t have a reason to be mad at her... Nothin bad happened at school.... I started having an attitude and she asked what s wrong and I got even more mad and frustrated because I don t know what s wrong..... Just this morning we were doing an activity log for P.E and she asked me how many minutes I excersized for, I felt happy but then 5 minutes later I gave her attitude left the table and said I wasn t eating breakfast..... I ve never been really mad at my mom... She s kinda like a sister I ve never had before... Idk if this helps you know what s wrong with me but I m 13 only child and I found out my dad had been lying to me about 5 half siblings a month ago.... Thank you!

I have a 3 year old stepchild and I'm 8 months pregnant I've been having a hard pregnancy but stretching myself any way. My husbands workers haven't been reliable so when she's with us he works late shifts I told him this week I can't do it. I am just wsy too exhausted and I work full time. I feel bad but my body is tired to be running after a 3 year old

I have been with my now ex-boyfriend for more than six years. We have a three-year-old son together and another baby on the way. He has a history of cheating but I have forgave him for each time and stayed with him. We have been working on our relationship lately and I thought that we were really getting back to the place where we were when we first met. Just last night, I went online and saw that a female was in his truck and they went to the beach together. He was posting pictures on Instagram last weekend of him at the beach, he is an OTR truck driver. I figured he went along because I didn't see anyone else in the pictures but him at the time that he was posting the pictures. But the same girl he has cheated on me with 4X she was with him this past weekend and it just blows every little thing for me. He denies it but I find it very weird that she is in his truck taking pictures and they are on the same Beach. How do I move past him and the hurt and pain that he has caused me? Finding that out last night hurts my soul and he just acts like he doesn't even care and he decided to post up pictures today of them together. Please give me some good advice with no negative comments because I am really saddened by what just happened.

So I'm a 25 year old guy, and yesterday my dad calls me and tells me that my little sister(13) snuck out of the house, both of as started looking for her at 2 am I finally found her after 40 minutes of searching, I saw her and some friends sitting, I got out of the car and told her ;"get into the car right now!" The second we got into the car I called my dad and told him I found her, and She will stay at my house tonight( I didn't want to drive her 35 minutes). After I hang up She started tallying me that she is sorry, but I just didn't say a word! When we got home I told her this; "Why on earth I should be looking for you at 2 AM on a Saturday? If I was dad right now you wouldn't be able to sit for the next week! I just don't get it why were you never spanked?!" "Because dad loves me, he won't hit me!" "Or because you're a spoiled little brat! If dad's not here to do something I will!, give me your phone right now!" "hell no, you didn't buy me this phone you can't take it away!" "Well first off all you're in my house! and second DO NOT talk to me that way when I was on the streets looking for you at 2 AM" "**** off" This is when I cracked and slapped her on the cheek! Like I don't understand way in the world would a 13 year old talk to me that way?!

My friend's parents have been divorced a long time but her father has a girlfriend. My friend (Sandra) has two older siblings, all of them are being disrespected by the girlfriend. Sandra used to live with both her parents, one week there, then one week there, a few days there and so on. Now Sandra only lives with her mother, she doesn't really want a relationship with her father. He doesn't act as a good enough father for her. Sandra is now really depressed and the relationship status with her dad is weighing her down. The real problem is her half sister that is turning 7 this year. She loves her half sister (Emma) like a real sister, she really wants to be a great big sister. The thing is that she wants to be there for her, but that means that she has to confront her dad. Being around him brings her down, being without her sister and feeling guilt for not helping to raise her to be a good persen also takes a toll on her. We have one really good school in our county and that is the school we attend to. The majority of the kids at the other schools smoke, drink alcohol and get useless grades. And thats just junior high/highschool freshmen. Her sister will not attend our school and that makes it worse. What should she do? Her dad doesn't listen to her and she doesn't really want to talk to him about her depression. Losing Emma would really tear on her to, there's a huge risk that she might start cutting herself...

I know that you're supposed to honor your father and mother but I'm in a not so good situation. For 18 years of my life I suffered from a lot of verbal and emotional abuse from my mom and dad. Luckily when I graduated from high school last year I got into a college far away from home and I was pretty happy about it. I would never have to deal with my parents again. However this past Christmas the insisted that I come home and I reluctantly did and that abuse started again for 2 more weeks. Right before I left I decided to tell them how I felt and tried to make things right and my mom told me "we're only doing what's best for you" and my dad said "stop being a little bitchh" so yeah I went home and since then I have never responded to any texts or phone calls they've sent me and now their expecting me to come home for the summer (of course I'm not). So yeah I don't really know what to do.

My nephew is 26 and I am his aunt. There is a family holiday for a wedding coming up and my nephew is one of the only ones not coming, most couldn't but my nephew says "he didn't have the money at first" he lost his job and I told him to use his welfare money but he refused, he looked for a job, got one and saved money but he is now too late as bookings are finished, the holiday is in August 24th and the close of date was April 1st. He is annoyed because first the close off date was August 1st but it changed and now he feels he is going to miss out on a family holiday since this is a rare once in a life time thing, I volunteered to go on holiday with him, just me and him but he says he doesn't want people feeling sorry for him, he doesn't have any close friends and could never afford to go on holiday as a child but I think this is all his fault, if he just stayed on welfare and used that he could be going but he is too stubborn and proud and just had to use his "own" money. We live in the UK and the holiday is in Italy, the date changed because if the UK leaves the EU in June it could bump up the price and even if the UK stays it is impossible to change anything now. He is avoiding family gatherings, he never answers his phone, has blocked chat on his Facebook and whenever we run into him in person and try and organize a little party to show how sorry we feel he says no. Is this justified When he lost his job he had to pack up and move back in with his parents

Both me and my boyfriend married right after graduating college. We are 22, turning 23 years old. My boyfriends parents are a lovely set of people. They did have him when they were 16 and 17. But now his mom expects us to have grand children as soon as possible, because she wants to be a grandma at the age of 40 (She recently turned 39) Its a topic constantly being brought up whenever we are there, she says it directly as well as in an indirect manner. One of the reasons she wants to have grandkids early is because since she will be in her 40's she can still be more active when involved with them and hopes she'd be able to see her great-grandkids. I know that's what many grandparents dream of, whether they or their own children had kids young or whether they were lucky enough to live a long life to witness beautiful moments in life. But right now, I know me and my husband are married young (I've know him since we were kids, but started dating when we were 16), but we do not plan on having kids until the next 5-7 years. Right now its us supporting each other and expanding on our careers I do not want to be selfish, but how can I be as nice as possible and be able to tell my mom in law, that we are not ready. And I do not want to upset her, I really want her to be happy, that we are married and living our life and that she and dad-in-law, as well as my parents and siblings as well are a part of it and that we are always going to be there for each other.

I am 15 years old. I have been verbally, emotionally, socially, and physically by my mother. It's been going on ever since childhood. Same with my other sister - she's 17, going on 18. She's planning on moving out with her boyfriend as soon as she's 18, but once she leaves I will be alone. Nobody in my household will understand, they wont listen to me. I've been unhappy for going on 2 years now. I had a plan to runaway at beginning of 8th grade, and middle of 8th i began to minorly cut myself, then a boy whom I've loved came along and saved me (lets call him Adam. That isn't his real name.) Adam stopped me from hurting myself and he talked me out of running away, and i stopped. Then, the two of us had a falling out at the end of 8th, didn't talk during summer, but eventually started talking around the time highschool started. and now we are dating. I've told him my situation - he was reluctant to let me move in at first, but i then went into detail of incidents where she had physically abused me. everytime she yells at me she belittles me, makes me out to be the bad guy and that I'm a bad daughter. I started cutting myself once school started again - she didn't notice, I could have lied about it but I decided to confide in her and tell her I was unhappy and that I was cutting myself. She preceeded to ground me for two months - restricting my time with Adam, even though he was the only one who stopped me from cutting both times. This was 6 months ago, and nothing has changed. Sorry, word count want too high. But she continues to make me feel like less of a human being. I tried running away yesterday, but she caught me as I was about ready to leave. She 'says' she wants a relationship with me but I know nothing will change because it hasn't in the past. And now im scared to attempt talking to her about moving in with Adam because I felt pressured into agreeing with her. My boyfriends parents want to talk to her directly about it but I know she'll just make me out--- to be the bad guy, as always. and she'll guilt trip them into making me stay there when all it does is make me unhappy. I go to a really good school and get good grades, school makes me happy and even though I only have 2 friends there (adam and I don't go to the same school - we are the same age) I intend on going for my advanced honors diploma -- I just want to be happy, not miserable. My father lives with us, but he works a lot and doesn't know anything about the situation, but i know he --- would probably side with her because he's afraid of her authority. I don't know what to do - I feel stuck and unhappy. I've had major thoughts about suicide and I've taken pills before but Adam saved me once again and I threw them up. I'm ready to run away and never go back - I just want to be happy and I can't be happy there. She says I have no reason to be unhappy, but she doesn't see what her abuse has done to me. I make pennies walking a dog, $30 every other week (it's better than nothing)-- She makes me feel hated, I have thoughts about suicide and running away. I don't know how to handle this. I would keep in touch with her and my family, I just can't live there anymore. If I live there I fear that I'll do something drastic. ): Someone please help me, give me some advice. She said she wanted to "beat me black and blue." Just a few days ago.

I had a 8 year old American longhair and she was a great, cuddly cat. My dad, who is a drug user (does meth) and sells it on the side when he's not at his construction site job bought a young Doberman last year when a teenage junkie tried breaking in our house in the backyard to rip off my Dad. He called the cops out and had him arrested then had to hide his stash and lie to the cops. That was last November during Thanksgiving weekend. He then bought a Doberman from a breeder and he's very dangerous. I can't even have a cigarette in my own backyard anymore because this dog bit me on my arm once out of the blue. It hurt but I was ok and luckily found a branch by my hanging tree bench I was sitting at. My dad when home thinks its ok to bring this pos into the house. Due to how cold it got in Oregon. But now it's a all the time and the dog got crazy last weekend and bit my cat. She was taken to the vet that day by my dad and me and she didn't make it. I feel like killing my dad but I'd rather kill his dog. I really have nothing to lose. I'm 20, saving for a house of my own but I can move in with a friend or get my own apartment or share one with my roommate. I know he has a long construction project here in Eugene this weekend which is where I'm going to go in my backyard and murder this dog. I don't own a gun, so I have no idea how to kill this dog without myself getting hurt. I have a bat but it may not be enough. I was thinking about throwing kitchen knives at it. I did not mean in the question "my dog." It's my father's dog. I don't even take care of it or claim responsibility for it. I will call animal control. I may have to get a restraining order against my dad also.

My mom is mostly drunk off her *** everyday and when she's not she's mostly complaining about how she works from 10:00am to 6:00pm. And on top of that my two brothers smoke weed all around the house while my middle brother steals, he has stolen our Auntie computer and TV's along with my Grandma's TV's and my Xbox One and PS4 and my Grandma thinks he didn't steal them and that I just want him to go to jail and she thinks I stole my own game systems to frame him. While my oldest brother juggles his Baby Momma and Girlfriend and I need a ride to school so when they argue she doesn't want me riding with her so I take the bus to my friends house after school. I'm 15 and considering moving and never coming back to see my family because to be honest I have always felt like I don't belong, my brothers pick on me for acting feminine and that I don't talk about girls privates and don't smoke weed or sag my pants. What do I do?

I'm an adult but since my parents never go we are no longer asked as the family knows my parents will say no. It is not due to any kind of conflict or anything, but just that my mother only wants to see her parents (she is an only child) so they decline when the other side of the family asks us over. I am an adult but don't want to invite myself and I don't have a house (I live in an apartment) so I can't host. Any thoughts? I feel bad being the only group not to join in at Christmas every year, same with Thanksgiving.

My brother's name is Emmanuel Corral and he has Schizophrenia. He used to live in a home in my town of El Centro, CA. They closed the home suddenly and sent him to San Diego and haven't heard from him since. It's been about 3 years. Shame on me for not being aware of what was going on with the closing of the home. Can anyone help with directions on how to locate him? I tried calling homes for mentally challenged people in SD but no luck. I just need to know that he's ok and make amends for past fights between us.

I am a guy and i am the youngest in my family and I am joining the Navy. My parents are supportive of me joining the Navy but my brothers and Sisters don't want me joining the Navy. They have always been protective of me but this is my life and the problem that I am having with my brothers and sisters is that my nephew who is my age joined the Marines and they were supportive of him joining. Why is it that when it comes to the youngest brothers and sisters are overprotective?

I am a guy and i love my parents and all and I am not ungrateful but sometimes I feel like my parents always need me to help them when I am doing something important in my life. Like for example last weekend I was planning on studying for a math test that I had two days ago and then my parents made me go help my older brother take out his old lawn. Then if I can't help them they always play the guilt trip that I don't do anything around the house when I do my chores and I do everything for them. Why are my parents like that?

Don't give me a load of crap. And don't ******* ignore my question to tell me to DXON"T DO IT....Stupids. OF Course I won't - stupid! I need to know, plain and ******* simple, if I try to get help and counseling, will they ******* tell my parents? So, answerers, don't you be stupid, answer my question plain and simple.

Btw I am anonymous because there are trolls who attack me constantly. I'm 16 years old, Born and raised in Detroit. Currently reside in Orlando. I always lived in poverty. My father was never there, my mother was a crack addict and a whore. She passed away 3 days ago due to cocaine overdose. My best friend got stabbed and killed when I was 12. When I was 14, I witnessed and was right there when my uncle, a closest thing to a father that I had, get shot and killed. When I was 15, My teacher, who was basically a mother outside of school, committed suicide after her husband died. Only good thing going for me is that my friends mother is letting me stay with her. And that I am a Top 2 percent in my grade. And looking at graduating high school in my Junior year (Im a Sophomore) Why is this happening to me?

im 20 and me and my bf have been together for 3 years, he lives in md and i live in virginia. i told my parents i wanted to move out and they were supportive up until i told them that i wanted to move in with my bf next summer when they move to hawaii. we both have a full time job and i have been saving up. My mom is verbally abusive everytime she gets mad at me she says I wish I died in the hospital ( I was premature ) how I should of lived with my dad and do drugs because that would be the perfect life style for me and if she had a gun she would shoot me with it. Today she said she was going to kick me out and take everything ( car , phone, clothes ) I know she really isn't right now and then said " hah you think you're going to live here ? **** no you're a piece of **** all you want to do is have sex with your BF ". I can't stand her anymore so me and my BF already have an apartment picked out that we both like. my dad keeps saying that i should stay with my aunt and that my bf should move here and get a roommate and when my aunt moves in 2 years then i can move in with my bf, its not what i want to do and they just cant support it, yes i understand theyre scared but i need to grow up on my own ill be 21 by next summer and we have been talking about moving out since last December. our goal date is summer 3017.

My family is considering moving to a new house and it has a big basement with lots of room for a nice setup. I want to do everything myself and with my own money that I work for. Usually my dad orders things for me online and I write him a check for it but buying $1,000+ at a time is something he is not fond of. He wants me to save for college and I currently am doing just that. I realize he knows best for me that I should save up for college, but I have always wanted a cool setup like featured in Techsouce's videos. I will have plenty of money for it soon because I work a lot and don't spend it on anything but food or tech once in a while. I feel very blessed now thinking about what I have, but building PCs is something I would like to do because I think it is constructive and an enjoyable project with a rewarding finish. As an introvert, I like staying home and playing online with friends and I don't do anything wrong or illegal. Is it so bad to spend a lot on something that I will enjoy so much?

My husband and I were arguing so I went to stay at my moms for the night with my two boys.(who are 5 and 2) for a cooling period. Well the next day I try to come home and now they wont let me leave. They said they will call cps and try and take away my kids if we try to go back home. I don't know what to do.

I don't get the whole Mother's Day and Father's Day celebration. if you choose to have kids it is your responsibility to take care of them. no reward is needed for doing what you need to do

First, men together can never make a baby. So please don't tell me it's inborn. I'll never believe that. This is not nature. Now, I'm 23 yeard old, living in LA. No one knows I'm attracted to men. During all my childhood, my mother has been very affectionate with me. Still is now. My father was always present, and still is now. But I never got an affection from him. He belittled me when I was young too much. I used to do sports when I was young and I used to want him to see me and be proud be he never did. I always tried to seek my father's attention when I was young but I never succeded. This left with a huge emptiness. Now, I still live with my parents and I consider my father as an enemy. We never talk to each other because I reject him totally. During all my childhood, I've never been confident and happy. I always knew there was something missing, but I never knew what. When I grew up, I discovered that I was attracted to men, especially masculine men. It's like I want this emptiness to be filled. I don't know if I will be sad when my father dies. I don't want him in my life at all. I barely can see his face. I think I'll stop all contact with him. The most important thing I want to ask is: How can I reverse those effects? How can I reverse the fact that I NEED an affection from a male? I'm really hurt guys. Sometimes no one answers my question and I don't know who to talk to. anyonesomeone61@yahoo.com Please message me if you want to help. My life is a mess...

My mom was always co dependent on me, since she adopted me (never married). I can count on 1 hand how many trips I have ever gotten alone with just my spouse and or/spouse and kids (married 1x before). She went on my 1st honeymoon w/1st husband and wanted to stay in our stateroom. We divorced shortly after that (guess he got tired of it), when we go on our cruises, she always HAS to be on that ship with us and now books another room (hubby #2 won't allow her in our room). We won a weekend getaway here in the South, she threw a hissy fit wanting to go and demanded I call the caretaker/owner and ask if she can stay with us. He told her it would cost her $$ and she then declined, we also declined. We are going out of state in 2 weeks (just 4 hrs away) to pick up our new puppy from the breeder. She tried to say that we needed to take off Fri, Sat, Sun (instead of just Sat/Sun) so we can sight see and go places. My husband said no because of his work schedule. She declined to go after she was not allowed do dictate the trip. So, why does she do this? Insert herself into our trips.

For example if someone is related to my Mom's mother then they are good and forgiven no matter what. If they are related to my Mom's father or her step-mother then they are bad no matter what and only the negative is looked for. If someone is tied to my Dad then they are bad automatically because my mother divorced him. If they are related to my step-Dad then they are automatically good and even wonderful. So my mother has the capability to forgive but she refuses to. What is the psychology behind this? What is she gaining by having hate in her heart? Even her own father she bad mouths daily and calls him by his first name. She won't even see his wife and gives me grief that I see them every other weekend. She also bad mouths my Dad regularly, her ex.

My stepbrother is 19. He and his girlfriend live with my dad, stepmom and 17 year old stepsister. My dad and stepmom work to support everyone, including them and the baby. They don't work, don't go to school, and usually don't get up until 4pm. My stepsister never has to help with the baby. But I do. I know it's not the baby's fault, but I don't want to look after him when I could be studying, hanging out with my friends or working. I had to quit my job because my dad told me he wanted me to go home and look after the baby. My stepmom said I wasn't being fair when I pushed the issue of me doing pretty much everything. I asked how it was fair to me when I'm forced to sleep in the same bedroom as the baby and get up several times a night with him when his parents get to sleep as long as they want and do nothing when they do get up. On top of everything, I have more chores than my stepsiblings and I actually do mine. Sometimes my friends come over so I can hang out with them, but my stepbrother is always so rude to them and his girlfriend makes fun of them all the time. I'm stuck here with no help. My mom is out of state and doesn't care. My grandparents would love to have me live with them, but my dad would never say yes. And to make things worse, I'm stressed out and tired all the time. I didn't have this kid, but sometimes it feels like I did. Please. Advice. I'll take pretty much anything.

So my son has a girl friend, my sons girl friends mom says her daughter is extremely shy with my son, so last night her whole family comes over so I'm talking to her mom my nefhew and my sons girl friend sister are in the car taking, so my son goes up to his girl friend and stand my her and huggs her my sons girl friend little sister says lets turn the radio on so I said let me get the keys from my car so my sons girl friend says I'll turn it on from my car, so she goes to the car turns the music on from her phone and stays in the car so the sister my nefhew girl friend gets off the car and my newphew and my sons girl friend stays in the car talking, and my son was waiting for her to come back and she never did so the little sister stayed turn on the music so she's oh yea what song do you want. She gets of the car cuz my nephew 10 min later gets off the car so then she gets off the car.. I see it really disriispectful, but I don't know. I'm just scared for my son cuz I punched him so much to like this girl but there's a lot of things that I don't she does that I don't think she's a shy person, like for example:we had a party my so. Was playing a game on tv my son girl sitting down in the couch and next to her it's my sons frien so when I come in I see her laying in the coach an my sons friend hand next to my sons girl friends feet, she told her mom that kid was touching her leg and she moved her feet so he can stop touching her but she didn't get up she stayed in the couch

Hi, I'm 16 and I like to go to concerts very often. However, my dad usually makes me go with someone rather than go alone. This time, the friend I was supposed to go with got grounded, but I haven't told my parents that I will be going alone. I've already paid for the ticket as well. My question is, should I say I'm meeting him inside so I can still go without my parents knowing, or should I tell the truth and let my ticket go to waste?

If they're over-reacting and i haven't done anything wrong, let alone they aren't my parents then they need to chill.
