Question: Is what my brother is telling me true?

Posted: 24 May 2016 11:52 AM PDT

I accidentally caught my little brother j - - king off. He told me he read in the Weekly World News that each time he did that, it raised his IQ. Could that be possible or is he feeding me a line of bull? If it is true, he is going to be a genius. Could this be why he is so smart?

Question: I love my mom but I can t stand her. What should I do?

Posted: 24 May 2016 11:44 AM PDT

Okay I am a 22yr old guy and my mom comes to live with me for a few weeks every 5 months. I really love her. But the problem is that she is way too caring. For example, no matter how sleepy she is, she stays awake till i have dinner. I have told her over and over not to do such things and that i can take care of myself but she does it again. I end up yelling at her out of irritation and feel guilty. I don t wanna scare her away. I want to be a good son but i just can t stand her anymore. I am at that point where anything she says just pisses me off. Have u ever felt this way about ur parent(s). What do i do??

Question: Should I just forget about this an not mention it to my son?

Posted: 24 May 2016 11:35 AM PDT

I forgot to lock the door to the bathroom and my teenage son walked in just as I was getting out of the shower. I was very embarrassed and grabbed a towel and covered up. My son was not embarrassed at all. In fact he said "Wow mom, you have a beautiful body" and walked out of the bathroom. It apparently was no big deal to him as he has not said another word about it. Should I just forget about it or tell him that is not an appropriate thing to say about his mother?

Question: Anyone know if what I told my ex wife is the correct thing for her to do?

Posted: 24 May 2016 11:33 AM PDT

I got a call from my ex wife who I am still on friendly terms with asking for my help getting her personal belongings from her wrecked car in a junk yard. The junk yard was in a bad area of town and she was afraid to go by herself. Her car was stolen about a week ago. The police told her it was used in a drug deal and they were chasing the car when it crashed into a tree and totally destroyed it. The driver ran away and was not caught. As she was going through the car to get her stuff she found an envelope hidden under the seat that had about $9000 cash in it. She asked me what she should do with the money. I told her to tell turn in the money to the police and if no one claimed it which is unlikely, it would be hers. Anyone know if what I told her is correct?

Question: Strength to leave an abusive relationship?

Posted: 24 May 2016 11:26 AM PDT

I need help finding the strength to leave a mentally abusive relationship. My dad died earlier this year and I was kinda forced to move in with my boyfriend, were 20 but my boyfriend makes really good money, we bought a house and had my younger 11 year old siblings move in with us. He treats me so bad, never owns up to it, and always spins it around on me. I'm growing so unhappy but I'm scared to leave our house, the comfortablity, the financial support and to uproot my little sibling after everything else that's happened to us. Does anyone have advise? I have so little support in real life after my dads passing that I'm so lost. I do have a family member we can live with but she leaves a few hours away and we wouldn't be able to see our friends at all

Question: Am I wrong?

Posted: 24 May 2016 11:11 AM PDT

My mom is forcing me to go to a viewing for my great grandmother even though I dont want to go. I told her I dont but she says she "Needs me to be there" I just dont understand why she gets so emotional about me not wanting to go look at a dead "body" Dont call me selfish because I am not. I just think this is stupid and they should just bury her and get it done with. My mom said that my great grandmother loved me and we should go, even though she has refused to go see her for the past few months, even when she had been moved into hospice a few days ago.

Question: How can your own family disown you, push you to the side, don't want anything to do with you, and not believe in you?

Posted: 24 May 2016 10:39 AM PDT

The only family I have left who haven't given up on me is my dad my sister and my brother. Everyone else has. They don't believe I should fight for myself, advocate for myself, and be defensive when need me. I moved out of my parents house twice and went to live with 2 different family members and got kicked out both times. How can family do that to their own family. I wasn't doing anything wrong but they can't handle my anorexia and my mental health. They have all given up on me. They want nothing to do with me. I've blocked them all on Facebook and on my phone. I don't need their negativity. I need support and positivity and they won't give it. I'm trying to raise awareness for eating disorders in my town and state and they didn't not like how i was doing it or what I was doing. I post everything on fb the eating disorder and mental health stuff is public for everyone to see and everything else is for my friends on fb. My family has disowned me and I'm done with them. I don't need them I have my amazing boyfriend my sister brother and dad. And my treatment friends.

Question: How am I supposed to help my younger siblings and self, dealing with an addict parent?

Posted: 24 May 2016 10:33 AM PDT

I'm a 16 year old female, in highschool. I've moved out of my mom's house last year when she kicked me and my older sister out after a stupid argument. truthfully I was happy to leave. The only reason I ever stayed in my mom's household was because I can't imagine my mother taking care of my brothers and sisters without me. I love my mom more than anyone, but when she's on drugs it's so hard not to get pissed off. She doesn't care that my sibling get made fun of for having raggedy clothes, she doesn't care if they haven't eaten all day, and she has no control over them. All my siblings know is what they see. They're all under the age of 9, and have all had the police called on them multiple times because of them misbehaving. When I was little, my mom was the best. It was when I turned about 10 that my mom started getting bad. My older sister moved far away because of my mom, and I recently moved back in with my mom after a year because living on my own at 16 was too difficult for me, and I missed my family. Any ways, my mom started using heroine, and if you know of anyone being addicted to that you know they don't give a **** about anything but getting those drugs. I work at a fast food place, so I get what I can for my siblings after paying my car insurance, and phone bill. I am with them all the time, and I don't mind because they behave well for me. The only thing is, I'm trying to move into my own place soon, I just don't want to leave my siblings with my mom.

Question: How to annoy my mother in law who hates me just because i am gay.?

Posted: 24 May 2016 10:32 AM PDT

She will say that I am the devil, and mistreat her daughter (my partner) a lot, even when my partner was pregnant! What are things that would really make her angry (preferably things without knowing it was me)

Question: My son needs so extra help in school. his father says no. I say to give him all the help he needs. am I wrong to go against his dad?

Question: Is it inappropriate for a girl in High School to be touching me at all, a 24 year old female bisexual?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:59 AM PDT

I'm not sure if she's turned 18 yet. I know she's in her last year in HS. I'll be 25 in just over a month. She's a somewhat touchy person. She walked up to me and held onto me the other day - I just put my arm around her for a second. And today, she was running her hand around my arm..perhaps in a comforting way because I was a little angry about something. Sometimes touches my hip in passing. She did also once eat from a fork I'd been using (which I wasn't too into - I stopped eating). I wouldn't say I want her - she seems too young for me; I don't quite see her on the same level and am not greatly affected by her (don't get nervous or giddy like I do with others). However, I do like those touchy interactions. They say people need to be touched. I feel like I need more hugs in life. Touch is comforting. I know these are common straight female friendly interactions but... I wonder if it's wrong -I feel hesitant- because she's so young. I feel like, because of my age, I'm supposed to remain distant. I never randomly touch her. Is it nothing to worry about? We work together at a restaurant. She works with other high schoolers at the front desk. Me: She's not all that close with others at work, so no. There is another HS girl that was once sitting on her lap for quite a while. They were, of course, about the same age. Pick this: Just wondering what type of physical contact is acceptable/appropriate if any at all.

Question: When I'm around people (even friends or family) I get really scared like if something's gonna happen and they'll just dissapear?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:54 AM PDT

Or turn into something else. I'm 15 and I do watch a lot of horror movies but I don't believe in such stuff. I even screamed one time when my mum was talking to me. I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't even share this with anyone I know because of the same thing.

Question: I feel like an outsider in my family please help.?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:24 AM PDT

I'm a 22 year old female and I have a very strict mom and a not so strict dad. Whenever I want to go out ( btw im a senior in college) my mom tries to pick a fight with me so I don't leave. She hates that I have a social life and I really have no idea why. My little sister is here on summer break and she just gangs up with my mom on me. They both feel some type of way about me having a social life. They both don't really go anywhere. But, I'm different. I hate being inside the house. It's so boring. I don't know what to do.I'm finishing up my senior year and I've been applying to internships and getting good grades, but everything I do always seems to be an issue. Please help me. Should I move out? I was living on my own prior but my dad convinced me to move back home so I don't have to pay rent anymore, but now I have restrictions. I feel like a caged bird. Please help me

Question: My daughter gave me lice while on visitations.?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:20 AM PDT

She lives with her father and they live in bad environments I love I can get time with her but only 7 hours every other Saturday but recently she has had lice infestation and I thought they would at least tell me if she has it and now I found one in my hair and I have very long hair, can I stop the visits until they fix their issues? Without being in trouble with the law. I also have a baby whom I am concerned about.

Question: Mom cries when I confront her about her controlling mother?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:20 AM PDT

My adoptive mom and grandma have always been extremely opinionated and bossy, my grandma being worse than my mom. My grandma bossed my 1st husband around and he left me for some other woman. I am remarried, very happily in fact and would like to stay that way- but my grandma constantly belittles my husband and bosses him. He has also threatened to leave on account of those 2. My grandma does not live with me, she lives way across town. If I stand up for myself she says "OH YEAH?!" I recently decided I have had enough of the negativity from my grandma and told my mom about it. Grandma controls her too and we are all in this co dependency thing. I told my mom I will not tolerate it anymore, it drove 1 husband away and I will not be having her run my life (per my father in law's suggestion). My mom began crying (said her eye was watering) and said I am verbally abusive to her mother and if I dont like it then leave and have nothing to do with us. She always does this and turns it around on me when I defend myself. Why does she do this?

Question: Telling my mom I want to spend more time with her?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:07 AM PDT

I always spend a lot of time with my dad just doing simple things like watching a show together or playing a card game. I just got back from a 7 day cruise with my mom and my uncle and me and my mom had a lot of alone 'girl time' it was AMAZING. At home though she is always at work or busy. I really want to spend more time with her especially since I'm going to college in the fall. I don't mean anything expensive either..just taking a walk together or something. How do I convey this without implying that she doesn't spend time with me? (Cause she does just not a lot of one on one time)

Question: How do I get my mom to apologize?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:04 AM PDT

My mom doesn t apologize to me very often, and has a habit of blowing arguments out of proportion. Sometimes my mom would blow an argument out of proportion by yelling or saying something harsh to me out of anger or other times a fight might be my fault but my mom escalates the fight by yelling, throwing something, or lightly trying to hit me or something. Even my dad agrees that my mom blows things out of proportion, & she has a hard time apologizing. If me or my mom fight & both of us are wrong I have to come to my mom & apologize for everything. My dad has admitted to me that she doesn t apologize to my dad when she s wrong. He thinks that since my mom is in her 60 s & has had a habitat of not apologizing he thinks it s going to be hard to change what she does. My dad has has confronted get about it but she gets defensive. It s annoying when my mom complains that I don t apologize, & acts like when she s wrong she always apologizes, or complains I m being stubborn or defensive. I love my mom, but when she gets angry she does things like this & she doesn t realize that main reason I never apologize to her is because she never bothers to apologize, and all those bad habits I get are because of my mom. I don t know how to explain to her nicely that I wish she would apologize more.

Question: Lonely, single mom with adult children?

Posted: 24 May 2016 09:01 AM PDT

Background: My mother is reaching her 60s, and years ago, she divorced her husband of 33 years. She's a first-gen immigrant with only a HS diploma from a third world country, and her whole life was literally dedicated to raising kids. I have 2 older siblings--both married and have families--and I am in college trying to start a life and career of my own. My mom isn't ready to start dating, and it's hard for her to find a 9-5 job in the corporate world. Also, she won't go to college because of a slight language barrier. I don't live with my mom, and since spring semester ended, my mom has called me, her youngest, everyday to come to her house only to accompany her. I went because I love my mom, but this can't keep happening. What suggestions to help with her loneliness? Am I so selfish to ask this?

Posted: 24 May 2016 08:21 AM PDT

I generally took care of my sons Mom since she was 4 months pregnant, every bill, rent,car insurance, including hers I paid, she had no job, no nothing until my son was 1 yrs old. I recently got fired from my job and Ive been unemployed for almost 3 months. & now its switched. She works, with her Mom, gets paid more than I was getting paid and still had room to take care of her. But I recently asked her to help me out, and she literally ***** off all her money leaving me at home with my son, while she runs out with her friends at night, smokes pot etc. Comes crashing in 1-2am in the mourning. I literally had to beg her to pay my $50 phone bill, and Ive been wearing the same dirty clothes since Ive been fired bc I have no money for the laundry mat. Like im serious ****** up, and she knows it. I never left her without a phone, or without any pocket money. & I was actually making less, half less than what she is now? I want to move on, my friends and family said that she just used me to get to where she wanted to be, and now that she is. Shes saying **** me, we live together, Im mainly at home with my son in the am, she comes home for a hour when shes off work, and then she jets back out almost every other day for the whole afternoon until night time. Idk...

Question: I need advice in this situation.?

Posted: 24 May 2016 08:21 AM PDT

I've moved in with my girlfriend and her family. We are both 21. We've been together for 5 years. Her dad woke up up freaking out. He has severe bipolar disorder. Apparently his wife socked him in the side of the face and left. I'm freaking out and don't know what to do. I'm supposed to go into work but I'm freaking the **** out, should I just try and take off work and resolve this issue? Or would work not understand? Would this not constitute for a family emergency? Everyone is freaking out and crying. He's threatening to sue my girlfriends mother.

Posted: 24 May 2016 08:08 AM PDT

So yesterday I walked into my brothers bedroom to get my iPad back, and i saw him rubbing lotion on his cheeks. I asked him why and he said"So my cheeks stay smooth forever".

Question: What's your opinion on this situation? i feel like my mom hates me?

Posted: 24 May 2016 08:04 AM PDT

okay so i have a really weird sleeping schedule, i guess. during the summer i tend to stay up late at night and sleep a lot during the day. and i don't really go anywhere because idk i have anxiety and i'm p much a loner. well yesterday i was up for once during the day. and my mom, who is always saying i shouldn't stay up at night, kept telling me to go to sleep (it was 3 PM). also this morning i was up at 9 AM and she walked out with a really annoyed expression and i asked what and she was like "why are you awake" and i said she was just trying to get rid of me and she was like "that's right" & "quit picking on me" and she said how we had some "really unpleasant interactions yesterday" and i was like "how" and she said "well maybe it wasn't unpleasant for you" and left the house angrily...so i guess my my talking at all is unpleasant for her. it just hurts that everyone hates me... also i went into their room to get the laptop after she left (which is not an invasion of privacy they want me to get the laptop from there since they take it every night and im only allowed to have it during the day -.-) and i noticed there was a weird charger and i wondered what it was for so i picked it up and saw it was attached to a brand new tablet which they had purposely hid under some books i'm sure so i wouldn't find it. i'm not a spoiled brat i don't want my own tablet it just hurts my feelings that they wouldn't even me about it idk..

Question: 20 yrs old and parents not allowing me to get dreadlocks?

Posted: 24 May 2016 07:31 AM PDT

So I am 20 years old currently living with my parents because i moved to another country for a few years and recently came back to the usa and having to live with them for a short time, i work for my parents but not making enough money to get a decent apartment at the moment, another family member has offered to let me live in their guest house while paying some fees. I have now been threatened that i cannot live in their guest home if i have dreadlocks and my parents are agreeing and told ill be disowned because of them. I often feel they care too much about what hairstyle i have than our relationship together. I have had dreadlocks 3 times in my life from age 13 to now having only half my hair, but i am wanting my full head because ive been restricted too long by my family to not be able to have my full head. They have said some pretty harsh things to me. So im not fully on my own i am still living under parents roof at the moment. Even though i am 20 is this still something anyone sees as right to do to their child?

Question: Why do some people think their opinion matters over facts?

Posted: 24 May 2016 07:26 AM PDT

My brother in law tried to argue with me about something racist. He tried to tell me that some races are born with smaller brains and they can never achieve intelligence. Despite the facts he literally tells me, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE ITS MY OPINION....it had to be one of the dumbest things I ever heard someone say. I feel like today people really feel the need to tell you their opinion and how you've offended them.

Question: Who should walk me down the isle?

Posted: 24 May 2016 06:25 AM PDT

Here i go, My mother and Bio father divorced when i was younger and they each remarried. Well my step dad really took on the role of being my dad, i mean he was there for me all the time. And my Bio Father and I haven't had the best relationship. He is still in my life and all but he holds grudges against me for my mother divorcing him and saying i am to much like her, I hold grudges against him for taking it out on me when i was younger and yada yada yada. Anywho, it has come to be that special moment in my life that all little girls dream of but i find myself dreading because i have to ask one of them to walk me down the isle. I know it is normally the brides Father that walks her down the isle and my Bio Father seems convinced he is going to be the one. But i don't want him to. I want my Step dad to. Is that wrong? My Bio Father is going to be there and that my step dad walking me down the isle will cause hell but is it alright for me to ask my step dad to walk me? Hell i am so tired of thinking about this i am ready to through everything out the window and have my older and little brother walk me down the isle. haha

Question: Is that polite or respectful? And how should I handle it when the parents aren't doing anything?

Posted: 24 May 2016 06:20 AM PDT

For your big brother to just rush into your room and opening your light while you're in bed in the middle of the night without knocking. Your room is your privacy and he just bashes in rudely without permission. And doing it constantly.

Question: Am I wrong to feel guilty about making my mom upset about moving close to my dad?

Posted: 24 May 2016 06:00 AM PDT

My dad left my mom and I when I was young and it was just me and her for awhile. When I was about 16 my dad came back into my life and my mom has always been weary of him. Now I am almost 22 married, out of the Army, live far away from both my parents and me and my wife are thinking about moving close to my dad because there is more people to help us. When I told my mom she cried and hung up the phone and her boyfriend text me saying I had said the worst thing ever to her and she is completely heartbroken. I feel angry and sad. I don't know what to do next.

Question: I can't stop yelling at my boyfriend, or at other people.?

Posted: 24 May 2016 05:48 AM PDT

I have always had anger problems. I was on medication for some time, but this was years ago. I would like to learn how to cope without it. I have had yelling problems and disrespected my parents and brother. I have physically fought my mother and harmed my father and brother.I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years. He has always noted me on my behavior. I yell a lot when I get upset, and I cry. He would tell me not to yell at my parents and he hates yelling more than anything. I sometimes think I have not improved at all though because even though I treat my family better, I still hurt him. Recently my yelling has gotten really bad, to the point at which its hard to even carry out a conversation without something flipping my switch on. I treat him like crap, and it makes me hate myself when he says something about it. which doesn't make sense, because I am the one in the wrong. I also yell at my friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. I disrespect people. He says I need to fix myself, and that he would rather just not be around me or hang out with me because I always end up yelling at someone. I don't even know how to admit my problem. I am sick of changing things for him, but I also know I am wrong. And I also feel like maybe I can't change. and I also feel like he hates me. I don't know what to do but a few days ago was the first time he threatened to leave me over it and that scares me.

Question: How to handle an unproductive relationship with my father?

Posted: 24 May 2016 05:42 AM PDT

Okay so here s the situation: my father and I have been trying to lose weight for some time. But because we re all human, sometimes one of us will slip up for whatever reason. Now, when he slips up I hold my tongue. But when I slip up he s all sanctimonious and will say stuff like "I think you eat more than I do, " and "you aren t gonna lose weight eating so late." now I have tried talking to him about this behavior. But he doesn t seem to think that he is acting in a passive aggressive manner. I don t want to blame my weight issues on anyone but myself. But I can t help but notice that I always poor on weight when I come back home. Frankly; I m sick of it. Is there anything I could do to maintain some more positive energy?

Question: There isn't enough room to go on the family trip?

Posted: 24 May 2016 05:09 AM PDT

So my family goes every year for a trip and it always works out fine with space because my mom doesn't usually go. It's usually just me, my sister, my grandma, and grandpa. And now this year she wants to go. There is gonna be no room in the car for her. And me and my sister like to sleep in the back seats so we wouldn't be able to. And my mom has anger issues so she always gets mad at me and hits me in the head, so that makes me scared to go with her. And the hotel we booked can only fit 4 people, and she said I would have to sleep on the wood floor because there isn't enough room for me. And she's saying if we fight she's gonna beat us and she doesn't even know if we fight or not on trips and we usually don't. What do I do?

So my mom let my older sister (she's 20)have a party last night and it didnt end until it was time for me to get ready for school.When It was time for me to get up I didn't want to to to school because I literally only had 30 mins of sleep last night and now my mom is mad at me because I didn't get any sleep from my sister's party and my mom gave her permission to have it on a school night.What should I do? And who is to blame?

Question: How do I cope with bad parents?

Posted: 24 May 2016 05:04 AM PDT

hi, I am 25y/o korean man and I have found out that few people have problems related to bad parents but i feel so alone so could I get some advice please that would be really helpful thanks. my parents abused me and ruined my life bcos they treated me like a object my whole life and never let me do anything freely like other kids. my mom abused me a lot when I was a kid and they never talked to me about what I want to. my mom has minor disabilities on her face(can't really say in details here) and my dad changed work all the time so I had to go to 6 different elementary schools. don't know why they abused me and not let me live normal life but this made me have so many traumas and prevented me from becoming happy in so many ways. I think becoming happy does not require big success and wealth. I would be happy with just having a good friend and a girlfriend I love. but I couldn't even do that normally. They are just acting like abuse never happened in childhood even though my mom still abuses me verbally often but not physically. They are just pretending it never happened. I am not living with them now but they want to be treated like normal parents. I just don't understand why they don't receive karma just like everyone else in the world and all the people around me. and I am having a hard time treating them like normal parents like they want. so the question is how will I cope with them rest of my life? thank you for reading this and I would appreciate all answers thanks. thank you for all the answers. God bless you and I will keep praying that I could live with this... I wish I was happy...

Question: Mom and her talking habits, what to do?

Posted: 24 May 2016 04:49 AM PDT

Recently I, my mother, siblings, their significant others and one child, we all went to family's summer house for a week for vacation. My Mother who is a healthy 79 year old woman dominated every conversation and constantly talked even at the beach while others were sun bathing, relaxing. At dinner table she held "hostage" one person who was sitting next to her and constantly talked about what she wanted to talk about sometimes even there was no answer from other parties. I was able to tolerate her talking because I see her once a year but my siblings who live in the same town very close proximity have a lot to complain about her talking. My mother does not have dementia, she has a husband who she can talk and share and go out (not alone) and her social circle is very big. She has been always a big talker but at family meetings she has become annoying especially some of the family members are spouses who really dont care for her talking. We all love my mom who has been a great mother for all of us. How do we deal with her talking without causing hard feelings?

Question: What does "SAB" mean in Genealogy?

Posted: 24 May 2016 04:10 AM PDT

I'm trying to piece together a family tree and the maker has the option to mark someone as SAB family. What on Earth is "SAB"? I've spent more time than I care to admit searching up what it means, and all I'm finding is "Smoking a Blunt"... I very much doubt this is the intended meaning.

Question: My big brother locked me out of the house and my parents aren't answering their phones. What do I do to get inside?

Posted: 24 May 2016 01:34 AM PDT

My brother is such a jerk. He told me to come outside and look at the moon because it was cool. Then he ran inside and locked me out. Thankfully I at least had my cell phone in my back pocket. I sent a text to my brother saying that I was calling our parents. I called and they didn't answer. They had an emergency come up with one of their friend and they went to help. It's raining a little bit and it's cold. I can't believe that my brother did this to me. I don't know when my parents are going to be home, but it's 1:33 am and I have school tomorrow. Anything I can do? I could call my gradparents, but it's late and I would feel bad waking them up. They always go to sleep early.

Question: I NEED HELP!!!!!!?

Posted: 24 May 2016 01:11 AM PDT

Im a 17 year old boy. i'm in grade 11 and alright at school. i get B's and C's and mature for my age. I am annoyed and wanna run away every single day. my parents are like "Go to sleep" at 9. im not a F**King kid anymore. In australia a 17 year old is considered as an adult. i'm turning 18 in about 6 months yet i'm treated like a kid. So i wanna become an eye doctor and i study for 3-4 hours every day. My parents are like "Hey stop chatting and study, if you don't get B's and A's don't come home" this is annoying. I don't even have a phone plan or get any pocket money. i am only given five dollars nothing more than that when i wanna eat at school. Whenever i ask my parents if i can get a job at mcdonalds or something, they are like no you concentrate on your study. (oh and i go to a private school in Australia). So i cant get a job, i cant get a pocket money, i cant get a phone plan. i'm treated like a kid. my parents get mad when i try to explain and i usually get mad and argue with them that i'm now an adult. I do everything they say and i even have to wear what they want me to. If im like i want that t-**** they are like no it doesn't look good even though i love it. I Have no privacy and no freedom like other kids. I am so frustrated and angry. What should i do. i'm so angry and just wanna leave or something. Oh when it says 't-*****' its actually t-shirtt

Question: Fiancé doesn't seem to want to stay at our house.?

Posted: 24 May 2016 12:52 AM PDT

Hello, I'm a 23 y/o dude. I work as a mariner out of state every other 2 weeks. I own a house, car, and pretty much everything that defines the " american dream ". That being said, I'm engaged to the love of my life. But there's a problem. When I'm gone as work for the 14 days a month she pretty much refuses to live in my house. I can't force her, and I DO understand the feeling of not wanting to be alone. I bought her a dog for this exact reason because she said it would help her, which in reality it hasn't at all. She retreats to her parents house an hour away. But still drives back to our town for work. She keeps the dog at her parents in the process. We are still in the renovation process and small things still need to be done. Because she's never there, whenever I get home off the boat after 2 grueling weeks I have to immediately jump to painting and cleaning because she won't. I've constantly brought this to her attention and told her I have no problem with her visiting her family. But there's a difference between visiting and staying. She claims to not know the independent lifestyle but refuses to try. The dog is miserable at my house because I haven't been able to fence the yard yet and she can't run freely outside. I know this may sound selfish but I just want a public opinion of my situation. Of course it upsets me that I offer this girl everything and never ask for a dime. But a couple should be a joint experience. Not an individual.

Question: Do I have daddy issues?

Posted: 23 May 2016 11:42 PM PDT

I guess my daddy issues are a little less severe than others. When I was a kid, I remember that me & my dad were very close. Now I'm 17, and we barely ever talk. I know he doesn't like me. I never even know what to talk about with him, and I feel so bad for how bad our relationship has gotten. The only time he ever talks to me is to nag me about something my mom wanted him to tell me. When I was young, he would go off to war a lot, and he missed a period in my life where I guess I sort of changed a lot? Maybe it's that my mom is very dominate over him, and basically controls his every move, making him just her slave. I wish he would have a mind of his own. He's really depressed now. It makes me really sad when I think about my dad. He's so sweet and kind, and I hate the way my mom treats him. I also wish we weren't so distant.

Question: Am I the only person in the world whose MOTHER beat them?

Posted: 23 May 2016 11:39 PM PDT

It was occasional between the ages of 5 and 9, and then turned into harsh verbal and physical abuse at 10 and over. I just hate my mother so much for this. I have never wanted kids myself because of it.

Question: How do I convince my brother to play sports?

Posted: 23 May 2016 11:28 PM PDT

My brother is too good to not play sports but he refuses to join a high school team. He played baseball and soccer in middle and elementary school years and is great in basketball. I even hear from his friends and old coaches that he really good. I even tried to get him to join track for the family environment I had when I was on the team. I just don t want him to regret not playing

Question: Does my mom hate me?

Posted: 23 May 2016 10:50 PM PDT

Thanks
