I'm fifteen and my sister is eleven and every time she does something (ex. Is rude to me so I say stop angrily) I always get yelled at. She cries about everything and is annoying.

Would I be born to a different mother or father?

My kids were at their dads last weekend, and my daughter(11 years old), came up MIA. She already had not been around for about an hour. My ex spent a few mins. to walk the complex saying her name. Never went to anyones door to see if she was in there. He then proceeds to lock his door, tell my son come on and the man leaves still having no idea where my daughter is, he then goes to window shop for bunk beds, and go to the grocery store to get himself a six pack of beer. During this time my son texts me to ask me to call her to tell her to go back to his house. He never said why, and she didn't answer her phone. It had been about 2 hours when they returned and all this time he still had no idea where she was. He then sent my son out in the dark to go knock on peoples door by himself. My son found her at one of their friends house(a boys house). I was so enraged after hearing he did not give a sh*@ where she was and then left without finding her. He did not show any concern, did not call the police to report her missing, did not get in touch with me, knock on every apt. door, go to nearby apt. complexes, businesses, etc. I am so completely terrified that something horrific is truly going to happen to one or both of them, and it will be to late to find them because he is not seeing the danger in letting them outside unsupervised, and how he has got issues thinking he did nothing wrong by going shopping during this time. There are many other incidents about their safety.

I thought he had lied to me about his name and some abuses came out my mouth unwillingly. He was like "Are you bipolar?" We had ordered a pizza but since I was mad I did not say anything and he did not even offer me the pizza. I just sat there as he ate. I realized I got mad on a small issue, tried to resolve it, but he has not contacted me since that day, and it's been like a week. Who is in the wrong here?

So my dad puts my bike up in the garage at the beginning of every winter, and takes it down every spring/summer. He hasn't taken it down in three years now, and when I ask him to, he finds an excuse. And finally, they talked to my therapist and he convinced them to let me ride it. but my parents made me write a contract. and I have to sign it and everything. I had to make a contract to be able to use my phone, laptop and everything. Like it's mlike my whole ******* life is a contract! WTF and so i made a contract, my parents approved of it and I went upstairs to print it. then my mom comes in and says that people are going to think i'm weird if I 'wander' around (which I wasn't going to) and ride my bike. And she says that no one else does that, that no one else rides their bike alone. I tell her everyone does that, and she doesn't believe me. and then I tell her. 'if you don't want me to ride my bike, just say so then' and she says, 'oh no I'm not trying to say that". and then i'm like whatever, and i print the contract and I sign it. And my mom's talking again about how I shouldn't ride my bike. and I close my laptop and it falls to the ground, because half of it was on the counter the other half was dangling int he open, and the weight of my hand when I closed it caused it to fall and hit my foot, which hurt like a *****. and then my mom accuses me of dropping my laptop on purpose, and says that she's going to take it away. and then I start to cry for the second time today because she's making me so frustrated cuz she's not listening to me at all. And I go to my room to cry for like 10-15 min. then my mom opens the door and tells me to check if my laptop is working and I go to take it away. When I go to take the laptop, my mom starts bullshitting me again.I finally tell her she's no use if she can't even listen to me and believe that I ******* didn't mean to drop the laptop. And she still doesn't. So I get fed up again and go downstairs and she follows me and she's still like just pissing me off and tells me to apologize to her. I say i'm not going to aplogize when you can't even trust me on such a petty thing. Then I told her to go suck a dick and I walked away. I am so ******* mad right now,it's like I can't even do anything. I can't eve walk across the ******* street with my parents asking me who i'm seeing, how long, who it is, an that they're coming with me. WHAT DO I DO?! I'm NOT apolizing to her, she's been on my nerves forever and i'm so done and fed up with her. She's like a reappearing zit, extremely annoying, and really hard to get rid of. What do I do?

My mom never been proud for me since she divorced my father and my school grades went really bad.Now she is with another man and he has a son bigger than me.Mom always complains of me because I stay inside and don't go out like my stepbro.She always says things like I'm a satanist or gothic just because I listen to some rock but not that much to call myself a rocker.She says that my friends have bad influence and all those things.Now she is gone from country and when she calls me the same thinfs I hear.Sometimes she would cry saying bad thibgs about me but next day she cuddles me.I just can't take it I'm in the point where I hate her.Ny dad isn't like that he is great we have some good talks together.Mom always hates me because I am a silenced person and Im not that social.How can I escape from her and get on with my life away from her ?

At visitation pick up, her father was cursing and yelling at me. At drop off, my daughter was resiting going back with him. She didn't want to go and was scratching my arm trying to get out of my arms so she could run away. The scratching on my arm is really bothering me. Is this normal? This is my first child. Yes i am going through a custody battle.

Ok, well, I'm having some bad personal issues and I think I need some help/someone to talk to, but I don't want to tell my parents, because they're already worrying about so much, like my brother in rehab, and my dog that needs surgery (she might not make it) and I feel selfish for feeling the way I do. These issues are seriously causing me a lot of stress and pain, but I don't even know if I should tell them. My mom is already particularly stressed. So, should I? If yes, how? Thanks in advance.

The whole family were staying at my parents last Christmas. My partner and I went out for the day and when we returned were told by my 8 year old daughter that my sister-in-law called my (just turned) five year old daughter a "little *****" while no other adults were present. My kids were scared to be in a room with my sister-in-law and my youngest started crying "I'm not a *****" when the word "witch" came up in her bedtime story that night. When my partner confronted her the next day her response was an angry "She is a *****!". The argument and fallout has rumbled on since. My brother and sister-in-law say it was just a word, the children were acting up, we don't control or discipline the children properly... I'm having sleepless nights over this. My SIL, who has lived in England for 10 years" says it is normal in Germany to call a child a ***** "If it acts like one". Is this true? Am I overreacting?

So there are 2 kids that I don't really like in class, there is a girl, I'm kinda friends with her but sometime I feel she is just laughing at me with this other boy that teases me...him and her called me SNOW and I didn't know why u Gil someone said it was cuz of my dandruff..now they are coming up with something else to call me back and it's going to take like a year for me to figure it out...btw he's really small and his name is Dakota and looks like a rat..lol I need a comeback for whatever they're teaming up against to call me next!

He always is complaining about being hungry but he is adult and he can eat snacks or whatever when he's hungry but he blames it on me saying he always goes hungry when he's around me. He says he cannot help it but sometimes he gets so mad and I'm shocked because I feel as though it's just a lack of self control. I understand being a little grumpy but not being really rude. What should he do to help this situation? Or what do I do when he gets like that?

this happens almost always when i have a fight with my parents. what happened today i wouldnt even call a fight. i wanted to go on a party friday night and they were so f*cking annoying and stressed and theyy were questioning me about it and i just got so pissed off i started breathing really fast and i just wanted to cry but i had no reason to be angry i just got so annoyed. i said i needed to calm down so i went to my room and totally lost control i started hitting myself and kinda stabbing myself with a key and i wanted to cut but didnt. i just got so pissed off for no reason i dont know whats wrong with me i rarely get really angry and i always take it out on my parents. if i hadnt gone to my room today i would probably start screaming and would lose control in front of them. i dont know whats wrong with me??

Me and My sister stayed home today, It was both of ours first absence from school this year, I got everything taken away, phone, tv, computer, luckily they forgot about my iPod, but they let my sister have everything she got none of her stuff taken away...

FAMILY THREAD- I dont know. Many many relatives break up. Its even with biological parents. When you fallen out with family members, the consequences are often lifelong. It make no sense. Family members do love you. But there is competition. If you get too far ahead of the family, the envy occurs. of COURSE, MANY COUNTRIES ARE NOT SO RELIGIOUS. Its all human instinct and it things dont match up, you get family members. NEVER STEAL, LIE, DECEIVE, OR ABUSE FAMILY MEMBERS. its a big FAILURE cause I HAD BROKEN WITH WITH MY SISTER many times. SHE HAS IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME. its go to go out for dinner, meetings, swimming, sports, games, shopping or anything. She just has to suddenly run to bathroom and make a mess in the bowl. She cant digest her food and digestive system cant do much. I know she has a illness but its hard to do anything. The only reason for not a total breakup has been her digestive ailment. she is 38 and about 155 pounds. her teeth is white as she she tried.

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well in your respective positions in life and I appreciate any input you'd offer :) So...I'm 30, sister is 38. She needed a roommate after ex-boyfriend moved out, I needed a place to move, it worked. She lives a "carefree, floating, hippy lifestyle". She is a great person and I do love her. I just can't stand all of the crap dudes she allows in her life, serious losers by all standards and everyone agrees - no way around the loser status of these "men". I try to talk to her about it, she doesn't want to her it. She will instead say "You drink way to much" (true). The main issue is that she is extremely critical in nature. Example, 2 days ago: Sis: Why is the oven in clean mode? Me: It needed it. Sis: It smells awful. Me: It happens once or twice a year... Sis: OMG I hate it! Me: I turn off the clean mode.... Sis: WHY did you turn it off?! Me: Because you hate it.... Sis: Now it won't work right!!!! Me: I'm pretty sure there is one phase - extremely hot..... Sis: OMG I can't handle this. That is a good example. No matter what I seem to do, she is critical. How can we get along? I figure I wake up 20 minutes after she leaves, spend some time studying after work in the library and limit my opinion. Any other tips??

Hey. So my parents are always drinking and they always fight very badly. For example a couple hours ago they were throwing my toys at each other and yelling and cursing and hurting each other. My dad usually goes to work 5 days a week but.. he had to go to the hospital because he had a heart attack. (Ya it has not been a good week) My dad only drinks at night and works hard for our family while my mom drinks all day and abuses me while doing nothing. The house is a mess because my mom doesn t clean anything and we only have one plate in the whole house because my dad breaks all of them.I want them to get divorced so bad but they wont,things will be ok for 2 days then they ll have a big fight and say they re getting divorced when they don t. All I care about is that me and my brother are safe and I need to find someway to do that one way or another. I m 11 and my brother is 8. Oh one more thing..my Mom cheated on my dad too. Anyways is there anyway I could get them divorced finally? I know it will be better for us if my dad just did it. Oh and I m sorry one more thing lol. I have clinical depression and OCD so things have been hard for me .thank you lol.

I am a guy and I am the youngest in my family and my family is so weird. My older brothers and sisters hate each other and they talk crap about each other but when it comes to me they all unite and get overprotective. Like if I am sick or end up in the hospital they all drop what they are doing and tolerate each other to be there for me. If I do something wrong like misbehave with my parents they all give me a big lecture. You can forget about dating because anyone I date gets interrogated by 10 brothers and sisters. Why do they act like this toward me?

Shes a *****

She came from a poor family of many children, and her siblings used to resort to hitting her over things or maybe if they were stressed... She seems angry about something, she seems vengeful. She doesnt love anyone (literally),and she puts $$$$ ahead of herself, children, and her husband.

She hits me and my brother , trys to push us down the steps when we walk , throws things at us , calls us all the mean names in the book and more . I feel like just because we're not her real kids she hates us becouse we have learning disabilities

At the At&t store they have things like Otterbox and Lifeproof, and those are great, but I see plentry of listings online for cases that are both stronger and cheapperror. Can I trust them, or should I just stick to the basics?

(I used to live with my mom and my stepdad and visited my dad every second weekend.! She died in June 2014, and I've lived 9 days at my dads and then 5 days at my stepdads since then. I really hate living with him. He always looks down on me. it's hard to explain but he also makes a facial expression and says things that makes fun of my sometimes dumb questions. I have literally nothing to do at his house, as my computer is really bad, and I thus dont want to use it. He makes me put the things in the dishwasher on their right place THE SAME EVENING I GET TO HIS HOUSE, which makes no sense. He gets mad at me for coming home around 7pm the day I leave to visit him, because I want to say hi to my dad before i leave, and he only comes home at around 6pm. I really dont want to be there. I love being at my dads house. I love him so much. I have my computer here and my cat. I love the house. The garden. That there's always enough to eat and drink. I'm home alone till 6pm and I LOVE IT. I don't know what to do. My stepdad makes me cry almost every evening... I have my own room and sometimes it's fun to be there, so I wanna come every other weekend, like I used to do with my dad. The difference is that my dad used to live 1 hour away, while my stepdad is in the same city as me and my dad. It'd hurt my stepdad and my family and him wouldnt understand. He makes me cry almost every day when I'm at his house. I spend all of my time in my bed as I have nothing else to do.

I feel like my parents are emotionally abusive. to start, my parents are almost never home, but when they are all they do is yell at me :( my parents say I'm an entitled brat who isn't involved in anything, wants the world handed to her, and does nothing. that's not true. I'm not into sports like my brothers are, simply because I don't like them. but my parents always go to all my brothers' games, practices, my dad is even the coordinator of the basketball program for my brothers! my dad never asks how I am, and he really doesn't know anything about me :( and my mom, she just thinks I'm a brat and "that's not how she raised me". and if I get bad grades, she flips out!! and it's not like I'm not smart, I am. the other day I was talking to my mom about politics and then it just blew up and bc my opinion isn't the same as hers she said I'm stupid and I have never worked hard in my entire. they yell at me every day! my parents have told me to drop dead before and they have told me to move out multiple times. they do provide for me and I'm grateful for that, and sometimes they are nice, but it just seems that they are just done with me. please help? I'm only 15 and I have no where else to go

Im 16 and I m sick of living at home. My dad is a ***** he won t let me smoke weed or sneak out at nigh to have sex with my girlfriend. He says all I do is jack off and play the game all day. My step mom is a ***** with pancake tittie and a flat ***. I hate my new school I want to go back to my old one. The other day I put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger but there was no bullets. I m thinking about stealing my step moms car and running away to Wyoming and robbing people for money. And then killing an old lady and taking her house.

Yesterday i just got super annoyed. I'm not picking a side, I am tired of both of them. My mom hates on my dad, my dad is rude to my mom. I am online schooled so all day i have to put up with mom talking bad about dad. She tells me that his side of the family don't care about me and her, they only care about their brother my dad. My dads family is nice and sweet to me but when they leave my mom tells me they don't care about me they were only here for my dad. I literally don't give a crap about either of their families, i just care about ours. As days pass I'm carring less and less about what my parents do, say, think, feel because they can't seem to hold a family together. They can divorce for all I care, i just want to make sure my little brothers are alright no matter what happens. My dads abusive and mom just lets him abuse me. CPS came to my house after speaking with my bros and parents. They spoke with me but my parents finally agreed on one thing. If CPS took me away to foster care, they d hurt themselves. After all the arguements they go through, they choose now to show that they have feelings. When they told me that Im just thinking how can they be SO ******* WEAK AND SELFISH?? I don't care if i hurt their feelings now. I don't care if they care about me,i care about myself. I don't care what they think of me or any situation. I was raised around them arguing everyday and if they choose now to be love dovey, it's too late.

Long story short, i just recently got the chance to continue in the field of studies that i'm really passionate about my whole life. I am feeling super happy but the problem was that my mother didn't show any sign of happiness. Also, she didn't even support me like how she supported my older sister. I am feeling down right now and i don't know whether I just follow my heart and just do it, or maybe follow what she wants me to study :(

Hi so I'm a 17 year old girl, and my mom is physically and emotionally abusive. She punches me, spits on me, has kicked me in the head to the point of blacking out one time. But today was crazy. It's all started when I was rushing around the house to get ready for school and she heard me tripping (because I was rushing around and tripped on a chair) When she heard, she came downstairs and punched me right in the face. I started screaming and apologizing for waking her up, but she wasn't having it. She dragged me by my hair and continued to kick me in the face and spit, calling me "an ugly little b****" and worthless. Because of all this I missed my state testing. I can't take this abuse anymore, I'm tired of living in fear. Please any suggestions? I would get a job and try to leave but she won't allow it.

So my grandfather had told me about what one of my aunts by marriage had said and he told me not to tell my mom or anybody because what my aunt said, if it got back to my grandmother it would hurt her deeply. I did not say anything. However, some how ironically, my mother found out. It makes me look like I said something when I had not. What should I do? My grandmother still doesn't know.. Also I just don't see why it is a secret because it involves the whole entire family... Oh well. But my aunt is upset with me because she thinks I told my mother when I didn't... Like how old are we here?

my moms really really to the point where its like she hates me and im a nice person who does right by others including her. she shows me no respect but adamantly demands respect towards her. she definitely lives a double standard and unjust life. she already told ,e that she hates her family. this is the reason I have been gone for a year and she cursed me out extremely bad the day I left because I was leaving. I only came back because after a year she seemed like she changed but to my surprise she's the same doe as before. i'm a guy and she also treats my sisters better. whats the deal ?

I have this weird theory lately that my brother is teaching my nephew to hate me. I remember that he always ask for my mom to bring his baby, and he leaves. The baby cries and doesn't want anything to do with me. If he sees someone else with me he goes to them. My brother has a bad attitude and sometimes it is expressed with me. The way he acts is how his kid is being too. The baby is nice sometimes. I recall baby feeding off of energy. I don't know if this is unintentionally taught or some werid energy at his house or the kid just being a kid. He does act this way with other people sometimes but not with my cousin or my brother. Maybe i'm just exaggerating. Tell me your thoughts

My mom has always been an alcoholic but even when she s sober when I was around 6 years old she d tell me she doesn t love me and she got drunk once and let a rapist come into my room and do things to me. Lately she s been telling me she should ve aborted me and that she can t wait until I leave. Last night she took my car keys because I was sick and fell asleep. So last night she made me stay up until 1am just to do her hair just for her to tell me i m stupid afterwards. It s 7:33AM and she just woke me up by kicking my bed multiple times and screaming at me saying i m stupid and I lie about everything because I slept through my alarm for class. I m 17 years old by the way. Idk what to do my birthday is on August 16th & she won t even let me go to the college that i d like to go to.

The low self esteem I had to grow up on my own. The loneliness the depression is so great it tears you apart. I had myself to raise myself and that dosen't ******* work. If I find you you piece of **** i will kill you you deserve to die.

I am 16 girl and I always fight with my mom. My mom is very paranoiac and strict. All off friends are allowed to go out late and I'm not, I get grounded over stupid thing that she makes a big deal of (like I once didn't open my room window and she took my phone) She always tells for no reason and my friends think she's crazy. I live in a prison. She doesn't do that to my brother though. She says she cat trust me. Last night I came home at 8:30pm (my curfew is 8pm) and she was yelling for an hour and grounded me) She constantly calls me rude stuff like "useless stupid and fat" and she verbally abuses me all the time. What do I do

I'm a 14 year old girl, and both of my brothers molested me when I was younger. When I was 5 my eldest one would make me sit on his lap and he would finger me n make me do stuff to him,,, but I didn't know what it was and I told my mom one day and he just got yelled at that's it. When I was ten he tried to do it again but I told my mom again all she did was yell! When I was ten-12 my other brother forced me to do stuff like give him ha jobs and suck his d.. I told my mom but he doesn't know that she knows cause if he finds out he will kill me he's crazy, anyways that stopped know that I have my own room but I just can't stand looking at them, they always make me feel like crap like I shouldn't live they curse at me all day and tell me I'm mental. Last week I cut myself because I hate what they did to me and I got discharged from the hospital today. Today I told my brother who is 18 that if he doesn't stop cursing at me n abusing me I will tell the police what he did. And in front of my parents he stood behind me and screamed like he was dying he said 'YOU STUPID ******* ***** IF YOU TELL THEM I WILL CRACK YOUR HEAD OPEN AND SLIT YOUR THROAT YOU MENTAL *** *****!' I really can't stand them, I want to leave. :(

My sister is 15-years old and I'm 14. Today, she left her dirty clothes on the bathroom sink counter so I told her to put it in the basin and she told me to shut up angrily and walked away. She's always crying because she can't finish her homework in time because she starts too late, and she yells at me when I tell her she does her homework too late and should start earlier. She wakes everyone in the house up when she can't fall asleep and she's the one calling me an inconsiderate brat. Whenever my father tutors her on her math homework she gets really angry when she doesn't get it and tells my father to shut up. She starts crying really loudly in the middle of the night when we don't even know what she wants us to do just because she's stressed of highschool. She's two-faced, she acts nice to people she doesn't know, but to her family, everyone should watch out.

My mom is a traitor i swear.She is always telling me that she supports me and that she is there for me no matter what but she is the first one to throw me under the bus.Everythng that I tell her in private or secret and tell her not to tell anyone she always goes to her friends and people she does not know and gossip about what I told her (thinking that i cant hear her or know who she is talking about)All she does is talk about people and tell lies to make her side of the story seem more believable and get mad when people talk about her she gets upset.She is always talking indirectly to me hurtful like that is supposed to make me feel better or something. She is always telling her friends these lies about me trying to make it seem like I am a lazy person but I am not. When i try to talk to my mom about her actions she gets upset with me saying "Do not try to blame me for your personal problems" i just dont know what to do anymore.

Firstly, my grandmother lives WITH ME. I am grown and i moved out years ago but unfortunately, my grandmother's house got burned down and she is living with me. My boyfriend doesn't stay with me but he comes over my house almost everyday. We normally have the door closed for privacy. Today my grandma caught him in bed with me (we weren't having sex) and she totally flipped. She told him "no lying in the bed" and she told him to go into the living room. Okay, i love my grandmother but i am grown and she is overstepping her boundaries here. She's in her early 60s so she's not that old! I mean, i am grown and i have a right to let whoever in my bed, right?

So I'm wanting to leave this mad house as fast as I can because my parents are retarded and contributing to issues I have. Iso there any way I can get as far away from them as possible? Are there jobs for people with out school education? The army disqualified me cause I have asthma. Is there anywhere to turn to? I'm 18 living in California, parents are whorped and I have no job experience? Can some one help me with information ?

Hello. My name is Sage and I am a 16 year old male from the United States. I am living with my dad, two older brothers, and I have a boyfriend that lives in the UK. So, I am a closeted gay and my dad doesn't know that I like the same sex, since he doesn't like the idea of homosexuality. So, I went to a friends house last night for a few hours and got a call from my dad telling me to come home and when I did I found out he had been in my room and my boyfriend had skyped me (It is always open just for him, because we talk a lot) and I have it set to automatically answer any calls I receive. My boyfriend is 21 and my dad knows nothing about him. Usually we like to play around when we first answer each other's calls and say something a bit naughty and I guess my boyfriend had said something along the lines like telling me to strip down and since my dad was in the room he heard it. God, it's so embarrassing! He ended up talking with my boyfriend and demanding to know who he was and why he was saying all of those naughty things and my boyfriend had said it was because we were in a relationship. Basically they got into this huge arguement because I didn't tell my boyfriend that my dad didn't know about him and now my dad has me staying up in my room until he can get one of my older brothers to come talk to me about how dangerous it is to talk to people over the internet. My dad and brothers are furious and I don't know how to tell them that my boyfriend is an okay person. Help.

I am a 20 year old guy who lives with my single mom(via anonomous sperm donor) and my 2 aunts, who all raised me together. I am 6'2 weighing 200 pounds. But my aunts are 6'5 weighing around 250 pounds and my mom is 6'8 weighing around 300 pounds. Its humiliating to be smaller than my mom and aunts and im embarrassed to go out seen with them. We are going on a family cruise, and they already bought my ticket. I dont want to go cuz its humiliating being shorter and smaller than 3 women in their 50s. My mom says im being ridiculous and said "you are a big guy urself, ur a giant among your friends and peers. You are the man of the family, and are protecting 3 people bigger than you

Long story short, I lost my virginity, I never told my mom because I didn t know how to and I was scared she was going to be disappointed in me, my boyfriend s mom came to my house and asked my mom if she knew & my mom said no. My mom no longer trusts me, & she says I have to gain my trust back, but I don t know how to. Help?? How do I gain my mom's trust back? * We didn't use protection, I'm 15.

I was co-adopted by my step-dad when my mom was married to him and since then they have divorced and there was 50/50 custody until we got in a fight and police were called and he lost custody. It's been three years since then and I can't begin to tell you how much I 'dislike' him. He has intentionally tried getting mom fired multiple times, he has just done so many things that have tampered with my life in huge bad ways. I haven't seen or spoke to him face to face since then but we have talked via email and text. He uses vulgar language and accuses me and mom of being liars. Everywhere I go I seem to run into people that he knows and they always ask "You're BLANK's daughter right? How's he doing?" It's really awkward for me and I'd much rather have the name I was born with. The first time I asked my mom about a name change, I was 9 because even then he and I fought all the time. We filed everything and my court date is later this month. I told my friends about it because I'm super excited about it but they don't really like it, saying it's just a name and it would change when I got married anyway. But just as kids have baggage on their heads when they get teased for their names, it's over my head because I can't escape him now matter how fast I run.

I do everything I can to make my dad proud (get good grades, clean, follow his rules) but none of that pleases him. I never receive any affection from him. He makes me feel bad sometimes too like saying "I dont care what you do" and "dont be stupid". I just want to hear him say Im proud of you or I love you for the first time. I feel like giving up. Is there anything I can do to at least make him smile??

She has THREE un house trained dogs that she locks in the KITCHEN. They pee and poop everywhere in there. It makes me not want to eat from there not to mention the smell. He says the smell doesn't bother him, he doesn't even notice it. He says if the dog poop bothers me so bad I should "clean it myself" He says I'm using Pregnancy as an excuse to be above everything! Should I just move to my mother's?

I'm 24 years old and since I can remember my dad has cheated on my mom. She has no one to talk to and though I know she did terribly wrong in letting me in so young she did. She would talk to me like a friend in need. Always telling me of the places she would catch my dad cheating who he was cheating with etc. I knew all the details. As I got older she started asking me for help, track his phone records, GPS his car, break into his phone and the list goes on. I became better than a Detective. The cheatings never stopped and neither did my moms psychotic behaviors. Now I'm being the same way with my boyfriend and he's getting fed up with it. But I can't stop. I'm a total mess, a complete psycho. I check his phone records, request to send me his conversations with his baby mama through screen shots, send me drop pins of his locations, I'll randomly FaceTime him or blow up all his friends phone if he doesn't answer. The only time I'm Okay is when I'm constantly with him. I'm insecure and a total mess. I feel like my mom was such an amazing mom and wife and look how she got cheated what makes me think I can't get cheated either. I'm constantly told I need to stop but I can't. It's like it's in my DNA. My sister is kind of the same way so we believe my parents drama affected our love life as well. We're insecure and we think we're gonna get cheated on. It's a constant battle. I need help.

Yes, you read that correctly! He is 35 years old and still lives with us. Im 15 and my mother is 54 years old. After a decade of graduating high school he finally decided to go to collage again. Its so annoying because hes a lazy piece of crap and doesnt do anything all day. He thinks hes the "sh1t" because he has a Mustang which he borrowed money from my aunt he always yells at me and says I dont do anything and that im useless. I told my mom about a hundred times to kick him out of the house but she says that he still has to finish his school. My older sister is also 35 she has a house,shes a nurse and her fiance is a lawyer why is my older brother such a loser? What should I do?

o im a 19 year old girl, and i had never been into a relationship. And i don't really want to...ever! So my friend told me i was being selfish cause what if someone really likes me and i don't wanna share myself with them. Now i do get crushes here and there but i don't think there's anything interesting about dating. i usually get guys mad when i tell them that cause they think i "lead them on" even when i don't im just myself. And also i want to establish myself as a person and my career which didn't even begin, before i get into a relationship. (if i magically changed my mind) i still wouldn't date cause i'll get distracted from my future... i want ur advice please!

I am on the affirmative side so it IS WRONG. Any supportive reasoning and evidence? I am in desperate help because i'm so bad at debates.

A friend of my sister is seventeen. She is a bit.... Stubborn, rude and complains when she doesn't get what she wants. Not just anything, she only complains when she feels strongly towards what she's asking for- whether its going to the Northern Marianas islands or to her cousins house. She likes to travel. Well at dinner today she asked her parents if she can go with her cousins from houston and they said no then throughout the rest of the night she was texting her mom's phone complaining about how it's not fair that she can't go. She goes to school online so i can almost understand why she is the way she is. Probably gets everything she asks for. She has her own car yet no drivers license, she has shelter, clothes, and food but feels like she has absolutelt nothing. She's never had a job, her dad just gives her his debit card when she's shopoing. She is used to saying what comes to her mind even if it's rude to others. She doesn't share anything bc her parents always give her special treatment. I feel that her parents need to kick her butt back into traditional schooling so she can know how it's like to not be the center of attention

My grandmother passed away April 7th and yesterday was her funeral. She had put down in her will that she didn't want a public viewing (she just wanted her kids and grandkids to view her) so we respected her wishes and asked to have a closed casket (and for no pictures to be taken as we are a private family) unfortunately a relative who is not closely related recorded her funeral without any permissoin and it basically has me crying and mourning in it and to add the cherry on top she posted it to Facebook. A lot of my family including my mom got super upset and told her to take it down and she has. But I feel extremely violated and like my privacy was taken away and put on display for everyone to see I am extremely offended and am not sure if I should confront her or just let it be because the video is already taken down.

My name is Rhys and I am a 23 year old male, who is currently living with my boyfriend of five years in Ireland. I was abused basically my entire childhood by my father (Sexually, physically, and verbally). My mother and younger sister passed away during childbirth and my older brother was living with our grandparents because my father didn't want to take care of him. Anyways, I have always had extreme issues with abandonment and the ideas of abuse and trust. When my boyfriend and I first got together, he was the rock in my life and the only person I felt I could trust, but now he is starting to turn out like my dad. He's very forceful and egotistical and if he doesn't get his way, he gets furious. The last few months, if I call him by his real name or don't call him Daddy, he will slap me and hit me. I can't leave the house without him by my side and if I do he will literally bend me over his knee and spank me. He won't let me work. Won't let me see friends or family. At night he will lock the bedroom door and wait until I am sleeping before he does and if I have to go to the bathroom or take a shower in the morning, he will follow me and make sure I'm not going anywhere else. He checks my phone, my social media, and deletes people who he thinks I shouldn't be talking to. He has sex without consent and if I try to refuse he will only force it harder. Yet, I don't want to leave him because I absolutely adore him and he's the only person in my life that is a stability. Help. I am a male by the way
