My boyfriend's mom has 8 kids in total and she decided to move in my guy I moved in with him 5 months ago.... I feel really uncomfortable with being there.... She's not a nice person but she's not horriae either.... She that kind of women that expects thing in hand right away like take to the store and do her laundry.... My guy had bought her a new phone and tablet and she didn't even seem to appreciate it she just complained that the screen was to big.... Another thing is doesn't give us space she's always in the living room 24/7 watching tv or bugging my boyfriend and it annoying... I basically spend the whole day in the room and it sucks cause whenever I try to something she always has something to say and at times I would hear talk bad about me... And idk what to do anymore

Well I'm 16 years old boy, so this is weird to me, I'm alone in the house, my mom punished me, and she took my laptop away, it was in her room, i know that, and i went to her room searching for it, guess what i found, a f****** didlo, this is really weird, i never saw one in our house, should i just put it back and act normal like nothing happened??

I was talking to my friends on how i let my siblings watch mr.pickles, family guy, china IL, etc. They went berserk on me saying how they'll grow up being satanists or i'll "f them up" psychologically or something like that. Is it really that bad? I grew up watching ADULT SWIM and i'm okay. My two little sisters are 2 & 6 and my three little brothers are 9,4, & 11.

My mother's family is broken into two sides, the good side and the bad side. The good side is cousins from upstate and they and their mother are loyal to my grandfather. The bad side is my grandfather's sisters (three of them) and their offspring is cursed and is part of the enemy side. We do not relate to their people for their ancestors were enemies of our Godfather (my maternal grandfather). So my grandfather and his siblings have all died other then one of the enemy sisters. I kind of liked my mothers cousins when our grandfather had us go to a reunion even though they were part of the enemy clans. One of them friended me on Facebook after seeing me in March at my grandfather's funeral (even though the person was an enemy offspring they came to the good side's funeral for my grandfather). Should I accept? My mother says they are still the enemy side and their children are also cursed as being part of the enemy offspring for several generations. My Mom's Dad was in a family of five and he and his brother were the good side and his three sisters were the dark side we avoid and avoid the cursed offspring of.

Help! I'm 27 and feel emotionally drained after spending time with my parents My dad is always negative and knows better than me... I got a job in a bank as he said it was a job for life, but he would ask when Id get a real job. I got a degree and became a nurse - he said I should have gone into management or computers. He also will pretty much ignore what I say and turn conversations back to what he wants to talk about. My mum is quiet and unopinionated but demands much of my time and makes me feel guilty.... She is very demanding on my time and acts childish and huffy if I don't oblige. If we go for coffee, she demands to come back home with me and stays for hours. She will come Visit and talks to my dog, not me. She has little conversation, and doesn't seem interested in me. She tells me her friends have been asking how the dog is, not me. My dad has joked that I'm no2 (the dog being no1 -I have no siblings). She has no hobbies and doesn't spend much time with friends, so if she visits, she will always "forget" something so she has to come back the next day. I told her I was thinking of moving abroad, she asked "u wouldn't leave me would u?" She gets jealous and guilt trips me for doing anything if I haven't involved her. So, I feel like a totally horrible person for not really liking my parents. But after a visit I feel tired and drained, annoyed too. Then I feel guilty about feeling annoyed a them. Help, what should I do? I feel so alone!

I'm 13 turning fourteen soon , and im in 8th grade . My dad has always been strict , and my dad doesn't allow me to go outside at any cost , not even when its snowing . I have good grades , all a's and b's . my parents trust me , or at least they should . but when i was a baby , i had a medical condition and i had to hava a feeding tube and breathing pipes , etc . they let me stay at my aunts house so she could watch me . as i've gotten earlier , i have still been forced to go there after school . you don't understand how much i hate going to her house . she always yells at me for no reason . once she yelled at me for not opening the window , mind you that it was 20 degrees outside . when i went to my old school , it was literally 3 blocks from my house . but it was 2 blocks away from my aunts house. so of course , they make me go there . even though i have 3 friends to walk with me. i dont even have to walk home , if my aunt could just simply pick me up and drop me off at home , that would be enough for me . please help !

My father is a pathological liar he was in and out of jail growing up. When I turned 12 years old he told me a huge lie and he got mad at me for confronting him and he left. As a result I ve had depression,bulima and I ve tried to end my life five times due to him abandoning me. I haven t seen him in five years. Now all of a sudden here I am at 18 ready to graduate he decides to come back after five years. He invited himself to my graduation. I don t trust him at all. To be honest I won t be surprised if he doesn t show up at all. He yelled at me today because I m riding with a friend to graduation. What I m trying to get at is should I forgive him? I am at a loss. Help. :(

My husband and I have been married for 13 years now. My husband is white and I am black. I understand my parents experienced a lot of racism in their lives, but my husband is not a racist bigot, yet they continually tell me that I have "betrayed" my race, and that I don't care that Martin Luther King died so that I could be free. I respect their experiences, but every time we have a disagreement they say "Well you married a white man" or "Americans never like blacks". He's not even American, he's French-Canadian. I'm tired of trying to get them to be respectful and I'm considering not speaking to them anymore. If they our relationship so much, why do they ask us to support them financially? Is it wrong to cut all contact? Am I being unfair and how can I reach some sort of middle ground with them?

Ummm let's see like I don't know what to do. My dad is very disrespectful and his always fussing at me. Making fun of me because I'm fat and he says I'll never lose one single pound and that in the future I'm just going to be worser. I try to get better and ignore his comments but it hurts at the end. He's strict and everytime I go out he thinks the worst of me and he says the fat girls are the easiest ones... Which is not true. Just because his cheating on my mom doesn't mean I'm doing all negative things. My mom when she's mad at my dad she puts all her anger on me.. It sucks. I don't tell her anything because she's my mother. But 2 years ago I had depression and all I did was cut and overdose. I can't go and tell my stuff to my mom because she goes and tells my dad and my dad makes fun of me.. I don't really trust nobody telling my issues because I feel like I'm going to get judged so i keep everything to myself. I feel like I'm sick and I just need help... And I just feel my depression is coming back. I never told my parents I cutted or overdosed because all they would think of me that I'm crazy.. I know this is Yahoo! Not a place to put personal issues but I don't know.. I just feel like I need to see someone to express my feelings..

I recently quit marching and symphonic band to pursue a studio/performance approach to music. My mom is really upset and being passive agressive with me about it and it's really bringing me down. I just want her support. I plan on talking to her about it tonight but I'm not sure what all to say so that she won't be dissapointed in me anymore.

in your bio

My wife has started hanging out with other guys, going to their house, and we have been fighting all the time because of it. So now I need to find the power to.leave her, but I dont know how to function without her.... She is.everythimg to.me... but I dont know where to.start..

Well recently my father has been getting INCREASINGLY annoying. It has been dragging on for the past 7 years now, starting with a minor comment about something I was doing at school. When I was younger he used to discourage me and tell me how badly I had done at things, this sometimes made me really upset. Over the past few years I've been getting used to it. I do not live with him so every time I do see him he always has something negative to say about me. This is really sad because I want to have a normal relationship with him but he makes it very difficult. I want to be able to have a normal conversation with him but he seems to be giving me these "lectures". Honestly these have been going on ever since I was about 3 and all they ever are now are just about education and how much I mess up. Also about how 'lazy' I supposedly am. If you are wondering my age, let's just say I have not sat my exams yet. I don't mind him giving me advice about learning but there is no need to swear at me every time you do. Plus he judges people non-stop. About them being either 'fat' or 'ugly' or have bad habits. I hate it when he does that. Recently I wrote my first essay under EXAM conditions and I got the highest marks out of my year (120 people) and my teacher told me I was 2 years ahead of the normal ability. So I go home tell my father and he says "I'm really disappointed you never got a higher mark". Goes on for another 20 minutes about how much of a failure I am.

It is my step-mother's daughter and my mother is mad I am going because it means I am going to miss my step-father's birthday. I think my mother is just mad because I am spending the weekend with my step-mother but I don't know for sure if that is it. My step-father just said to do what I want and no worries. What do I say when my mother brings this up again. She keeps reminding me that my step-mother is not my mother and is not there for me all the time like my step-father. She notes this because my step-father has traveled with me before.

My brother was adopted by mom about a year or two ago. When my aunt passed away, and no other family member would take him in, my mom decided to do so. My mother and step-father have never been stable parents, so when this adoption was originally happening I was already wary. My mother is clinically depressed and bi-polar. She takes so many medications and is constantly high off of marijuana. I don't think there's ever a time that she's not angry. She's even ran away from home a couple times. Xavier, my brother, is a 5 year old little boy who has experienced serious trauma in his life already. My mother is constantly screaming at him and it's only making his behavior worse. Where he started out slightly defiant, he is now a mixture of defiant and timid. He constantly looks terrified, like someone is going to hit him. I can't say anything about his life before coming to live with my mom, and I'm not around enough to know if she is physically abusing him, but I do suspect that this is happening. My breaking point was coming over the other day to find Xa in only a shirt with pants that had urine on them atop his head. He has had a problem with urinating himself, which is very common in children who have experienced as much trauma as he has. But she forced him to be in time-out w/ his urine covered pants as a hat. I am a freshman in college turning 19 soon, I want to be able to adopt him as soon as I graduate, but I'm also afraid he won't be able to wait for 4 years.

I don't have any siblings and rarely see my dad, so it means I'm extra close to my mum. She wants me to be this perfect daughter, but I just like being my own person without so much expectation. I hate wearing dresses/skirts because my legs are skinny and pale... it makes me feel uncomfortable. If I told her it would only upset her. She would then tell me how beautiful I am and how it's only negative thoughts that make you feel this way. It has been easier to say nothing - but I'm not sure how much longer I can. Maybe she should accept I'm not perfect.

So, I'm 18. My mother and I have clashed my whole life. Our personalities just severely clash. She has no respect for me as a human being, except in that she sees me as a literal extension of herself. She expresses verbal and visible disgust for me daily, and I literally, honestly do not remember the last time she spoke to me and wasn't screaming about one of my faults. She constantly makes me feel guilty for existing at all, and I am miserable at home, but planned to stay until my last day of school two weeks from now in order to save money. Last night, I defended my younger sister while she was flipping out on her for accidentally starting a grease fire (side note, who would force their 15 year old to make a complicated dinner alone?), and in anger, she screamed at me to leave her house, and I obliged, also in anger. Now she won't speak to me, but my siblings and father say she wants to hear from me and wants me back home. She won't respond to my calls or messages and is generally probably furious. I have somewhere to live (my boyfriend moved into our shared bedroom in a house last weekend, which I was planning to move into soon anyway with my parents blessing, and I have money and steady income). Should I try to go back and reconcile with my mother to live at home another two weeks until graduation, or give up and stay with my boyfriend since I'd just be returning soon anyway? Thanks. Any opinions are appreciated.

I see the excitement and determination in my daughter's eyes as she is ready to leap into college life. I see the drive to be the best at softball and I admire and respect her for that. I also see her fighting to make choices that I know will cause her nothing but heartache and I know there is absolutely nothing at all I can do about it. She doesn't want our help. She doesn't want our opinion. These are lessons she has to learn on her own. We can't always protect her from herself or others. That part of her leaving is what is completely and utterly tearing me apart inside. I go to sleep, when I can sleep, tormented by my fears that she will make the wrong choices. That she will go down the wrong path. I know some of that is inevitable.

I don't understand.

Our pastor's wife is shy and reserved, which I completely understand, being an introvert myself, but she HATES my mom. Not in a very subtle way, either. At one of our church functions a few weeks ago, my mom said hello to her, and she completely ignored her. I saw it with my own eyes. Any suggestions for how my mom should handle this?

my sister left her old phone and got a new one and i just wanted to see her phone and i saw that it was unlocked. i opened it and i was being nosy and read her texts. she talked about things i could never imagine her talking about cuz i thought she was innocent. i found out she hooks up with different guys, drinks. she started when she was a freshman. i also saw tht she talked crap about me and i am always nice to my siblings but when we do fight, it's mostly her fault because she only cares about herself. not only did she talk crap but she also changed up the story DRASTICALLY to make me look bad. she texts ALL her friends about me. i want to confront her but i can't because i did go into her phone... and she'll talk more crap about me if i tell her i went into her phone.. what do i do?

I don't like the drama my sister pulls. She is in menopause and everything is about her. She bosses how I parent like she bossed me back when we were kids. She is 49 and I am 37 and sick of her bossing me. Do I have the right to just not allow my kids to ever see her or is that taking it too far.

My girlfriend can't seem to find the time to go on vacation with me this year. I've tried to make it work, but she either doesn't want to go or has other commitments. Tell her it's a headache to try to go because she has work and 3 kids. I don't understand why she cannot take time off of work she said she needs money to pay bills. The bottom line is it is just too difficult to plan anything I don't want to deprive myself from going out this summer so I'm beginning to make plans on my own. But in doing so makes me question my whole relationship because I want someone who's going to be by my side for a memories and funny moments.

I haven't really lost a family member yet, only a best friend. Anyways, my grandparents are all 70+ years old, my dad has a seriously illness, it's only a matter of time when they'll all die. I haven't have a will to live since 8th grade. Is there a way to tell your family that all you want to do is die without crushing them? do I make them hate me?

The funeral would be during the workday and no one from my mother's immediate family is going accept one aunt of mine. I almost always go when it is a funeral in my family but this person was a cousin of my late grandfather's and any time I met her it was a handshake and that was all. I am feeling I should save time off work for a more important funeral like when his cousin I knew dies. So should I go or just stay back? I could do the viewing the night before but it would be a 45 minute drive. The boss is my Dad so he would allow me to take off but I am not sure if it is necessary.

Okay so all I try to be is just plain nice to my cousin! I just say nice things and try to be friends with him and he is just plain rude! I told him about my snapchat and he said that was awesome that I got one! And he didn't even add me back! I even saw him snap chatting in school yesterday! The rest of my family is NO BETTER! My parent's get mad at me for NO REASON! ~Someone plz help me with this bs! Thanks and nice answers only <3 I am just tired of feeling like An outcast in my family and just want it to go away! It's like you choose your friends but you don't choose your family!! And my family just treats me like ****! ):

Help! I'm 27 and feel emotionally drained after spending time with my parents. They are not bad people and haven't intentionally hurt me, which may be why I feel so guilty My dad is always negative and knows better than me... I got a job in a bank as he said it was a job for life, but he would ask when I Would get a real job. I got a degree and became a nurse - he said I should have gone into IT. He also will pretty much ignore what I say and turn conversations back to what he wants to talk about. My mum is unopinionated but demands much of my time and makes me feel guilty.... She turns up at my house at noon, knowing I worked a nightshift and am working again that night. She then stays all day. She is very demanding and acts childish and huffy if I don't oblige. If we go for coffee, she demands to come back home with me and stays for hours. She will Visit and talks to my dog, not me. She has little conversation, & shows no interested in me. She has no hobbies and doesn't spend much time with friends, so if she visits, she will always "forget" something so she has to come back the next day. I told her I was moving abroad, she asked "u wouldn't leave me would u?" She gets jealous and guilt trips me for doing anything without her. I feel like a horrible person for not liking my parents. After a visit from them I feel tired and drained from trying to make conversatIon, which makes me feel so guilty. Am I a bad person? Anyone else feel the same? How to I fix this?

My father lives here, my mother lives there. I live w/ my father right now and my mom lives somewhere else. They both are great, I love my family, wouldn t trade it for a family with millions of dollars, my mom really wants me to come back with her in another state because she doesn t really like the way my dad treats me all the time and she wants me to live in a stable place. There s only one problem with moving back with her, I do not like the people that live in that state nor do I like school up there AT ALL! My mom said she wants me to live where i ll be happy, honestly I think I will be happier here, with my dad. & i m basically POSITIVE ill be happier here, but not really because of my dad at all. It s the people and friends I have, I have my best friends and all my siblings besides 1 right now. If I move back i ll have no one again! I don t know if I should move back because I miss my mom and love her a lot and don t want her to be worrying about me and I know living with her is more pleasing than my father, but I just know I wouldn t be as happy there as I would here.

My mother had just requested a divorce because of his alcoholism when he killed himself. I was 8 at the time. For a few years we didn't see his family much (only at Christmas time). My mother told me they blamed us (her and her kids) for his suicide. I took this personally. Now I am 24 years old and I still have this need to make up to them for causing my Dad to kill himself as though it is my fault. They even tried to assure me they didn't think this but I still feel they feel it. My mother doesn't have a relationship with them but I do. However, if I am overlooked for a holiday invitation or something since people assume I am with my mother I tend to immediately think "they are associating me as partly to blame for the suicide". How do I break this cycle of thought?

I was living on my own up until last October but my sister had financial and emotional problems and needed somewhere to stay. I allowed my sister and her 4 year old daughter to stay because we've always been close and we're family. She insisted that she would soon start looking for her own place, but that soon cooled. She is paying rent and taking care of the house, which is great. However, I don't feel she is in a position to move and I don't think she wants to for a while yet. Should I just enjoy having my family with me?

My mother was super protective when I was a kid but also very bitter at my Dad post-divorce. She alienated us from him for a time. Now as an adult I am close to him and his now-wife (my step-mother). Since my step-mother is formal and I am ADHD and anxious, I have become terrified I will be rejected. As a kid my mother was always correcting me for social mistakes especially when she was homeschooling me and we did a social skills course. Now as an adult I have turned that into a fear I will goof up socially. I am 29 and obsessed over this and the thought my step-mother will have my father reject me if I make a social mistake (she is very private and one for the bottle). What do I do? I do like my step-mother, I just have this fear and my mother would feed it by warning me "don't get your hopes up, your Dad might blow you off again for your birthday, the holiday, etc...). This fear has stayed with me into adulthood. @Juvia----They know about it but my mother says they don't understand it (I think that is just her bitterness talking). However, I think my Dad gets it but I do not think my step-mother would.

I started having fantasies about him. I feel horrible and guilty even though I'm sure I'd never act on it and I'm sure he doesn't feel the same way. He's just being nice. What should I do? I can't avoid him b/c he's family.

I turn 23 in the summer and I'm dating my friend of 4 years, who's 24 and has 2 kids. A 3 year old girl, and a 1 year old son. We've been together 6 months. I've fallen in love with him and while I've dated a lot, it's usually hard for me to find someone who fulfills me to this degree. He's ambitious, intelligent, considerate, etc. I'm 1/3 the way through school (going for an MA, just finished my AA), and plan to be a therapist/teacher. He's planning on being an entrepreneur, he's passionate about animation and wants to start his own company in the future. I think he will be successful, of course he could fail as could I. I've gone back and forth over whether I want kids for a long while, but I love children and feel like I will want 2. As in I want to give birth to two. I would treat our kids the same as I'm not a fuckwit, I'm pretty egalitarian and am constantly exposing myself to new cultures and ways of thinking and living, I speak a few languages. We live in a moderately sized city in California. I feel confident that we will make at least 120k a year combined, without much trouble. He has dual custody with his ex wife, I'm not sure if he will have to pay child support in the future but he doesn't now. When I'm with his kids, I love it. They're fantastic and sweet. But I worry about how much time we'd have if we had 2 more kids, I'm fine with a bit of a hectic life, I'm the oldest of 4, but the status of my primary relationship is incredibly important to me. I don't want to be exhausted and run thin with so many kids, I want to have a full and vibrant life with many activities and lots of love, but still have time for each other. If we can't maintain our relationship because of external stressors, then the family crumbles. That's not acceptable. I've started taking child development classes so that I can be a better caretaker in the future. I care a lot about personal growth, for all ages. I worry about drama with his ex and her new fiancee. My partner was emotionally/verbally abused in the relationship to the point that he was suicidal. He doesn't seem to have any mental health problems (not that I would know, yet). His ex wife is a fairly closed off, distant person. He says they coparent well, aside from minor annoyances, so hopefully that means there will be few problems? I've been trying to understand how I feel about(potentially) being a step parent but there are so many sides. Frequently I feel grateful, or at least excited, Every now and again I feel a little cheated. A few years ago he had 1 child and I refused to date him because of it. This time I around, I agreed to give it a shot, but he had 2 kids. I don't understand how you could have a 2nd kid with someone who hurts you. Him having these kids makes everything harder, that's what I can get bitter about. But it's not directed towards the kids at all. I feel like my bitterness is one of immaturity and it will lessen in the future. I haven't mentioned how I can feel bitter because I don't know if it's necessary right now. i'm the one who chose to be in this situation, I don't feel it too often, and I don't want to stress him out or cause unnecessary drama. And yes, we might break up. But if we don't, then I have kids. So I want to be prepared for that. We talk about marriage often. He seems very excited about it, so am I, but I want to know the difficulties that a step parent may or must face.

My daughter s father has a child visitation order in place. Our daughter is 5-years-old. He has always jumped from one woman to the next without a break in between (the relationships pretty much overlap). For the past couple of years, our daughter had her own bed in the same bedroom of her father and his girlfriend. Our daughter recently told me that daddy has a new apartment and lives with another woman where our daughter sleeps in between him and his current girlfriend. One week he was living one girlfriend, and the following week living with a new girlfriend. Am I wrong to find this swift transition to be inappropriate and having our daughter sleep between him and new girlfriend? I feel like this is setting a poor example to our easily impressionable 5-year-old daughter. He sees nothing wrong with the transition nor the sleeping arrangement. He has been unemployed for two years. I m sure if the situation was reversed he d be livid about me having our daughter share the same bed with me and a boyfriend. I choose not to introduce a boyfriend to my daughter unless it s a serious relationship (e.g. engaged to be married). When is it too old for a daughter to share her father's bed with his girlfriend? When is it too old for daughter to share a bed with her father and his girlfriend?

Ok my mom said I got one month or I'm out, she said it's for my own good. I was kicked out the military and I had to move in with my parents. I feel so stupid and lick a failure I had few jobs since I've been home, but none of them lasted. I feel so bad. Like she told me she would of never thought I would turn out like this, honestly it made me feel bad, I really feel like crying sometimes to be honest so I guess I do care. I've got some issues as you can tell. I feel like everybody is surpassing me in life. Nobody cares you know, it's just messed up yo, I don't have any money or a drivers license, I'm so stupid. I'm actually not 22 yet, my birthday is coming up soon.

My grand daughter is 19-20 and she graduated from high school last year. I get that she wanted to take a year off after graduation. However, I yelled at her last night because she hasn't been studying her schooling. Just watches anime and games all night until 5-6! She told me Tokyo Ghoul makes her happy and is an escape. This is literally the ONLY thing that makes her happy. I enrolled her into online schooling which is done at home because I know she has a lot of anxiety and struggles with fitting in. But, she tells me that this career isn't interesting! She doesn't seem to like anything! It's very hard to motivate her! I shouldn't be babying her but I care about her future! I took her in because parents don't really care. Never paid or taught her anything useful for her life. She's lazy. She is, sure. But she doesn't mind doing chores around the house, I have to tell her to do it. She has ADHD and it's terrible for because she struggles remembering to do things. I think she's sad because she WANTS to have a career but she's afraid of failure. She told me she wants sure of her career. She's tired of failing and struggling. It seems I'm the only one who cares! Her parents couldn't even pay for her college, teach her how to ride a bike, etc! I found out recently that's she's a Transgender, some gender issue and lesbian and I CAN'T stand them! Help me out, please?

My father is really nice and he's really cool. He's not at all the put-on-your-jacket kind and he gets along with my classmates and friends well. It's just that maybe a little too well. I mean I'm a 16-year-old guy - and I don't know - I don't feel that comfortable with my friends when he's around too. It's just weird. I think he really liked going on class trips when he was young and he really is the kind of person who can never be old. I know that he doesn't want to get in my way or anything, he just wants to have fun - but still this is my class trip. How can I tell him not to come without hurting his feelings?

I have a cousin who sent me a few emails first saying she is dying of an ulcer, then saying she spent all her money to treat herself and now she is in need of financial assistance. She is 33, a single mother, the father of the baby has been loosely involved it seems and she lives with her parents at home. They are not happy that she is unmarried with child. She quite her job when she was pregnant and has been spinning her wheels to figure out what she can do with her life. A business...maybe I am 31, single, an RN, with my own bills to pay. I am paying my brothers phone bill, another brother of mine turned into a monster because I stopped bailing him out financially, suffice to say, our relationship has ended at a great cost to me. And my mother ripped my off for a vacation we were supposed to split the cost. She never paid her part, went on the lavish vacation, and left me with the bill. I am sick of all these leeches! I love my cousin, but I think she is trying to get money out of me because she THINKS I have money because I am American. Why can't she ask her family at home or the father of her kid for money... She never told me anything about an ulcer until she spent all her money...now I m supposed to fix everything. She keeps calling incessantly and leaving messages. I have not answered because I don't want to b cornered into giving her money. what should I do?

My brother is adopted and we got him out of a dangerous situation. He was born with a few mental things like autism ADD and ADD what way if any can I do to help. He fights with my family often and we think it is because the relationship he had with his real family. His birth mother haf a drug addiction so it affeted his health

My sister is a drug addict and refuses to go. As a result it is the talk of the wedding. The wedding is first weekend in July.

My mother divorced my father. Ever since my mother has been bitter at my father. My mother's family hates my father accept one aunt who likes him and therefore is bitter at my Mom. My mother says my Dad's family doesn't like her. My Dad is also rather bitter at my mother. So because of this events like graduations, weddings, etc... become about all the tension and who hates who and nothing else. How do I fix this? If I can't fix it how do I adjust my reactions so I can at least enjoy myself. My days are spent analyzing if my Dad's family thinks less of me because as a little kid I didn't see them that often since my mother wouldn't share holidays. I worry my mother's family thinks less of me because I am my Dad's son. How do I fix all this or at least fix my perspective on it?

My 4 siblings and I were severely abused by our mother, the youngest was my baby brother Michael. My mom murdered my baby brother when he was only a couple months old, Music has always been very healing and I try to find songs that are identical to certain things that have happened in my life and I want to find a song that relates to what it was like growing up knowing my mom killed my brother and wondering what he would have been like and all of that. I know alot of songs about abuse like concrete angel, alyssa lies, and similiar but I would really like to find one that is really similar to my situation

ok, so I am normally a good kid (im 13 and a girl). but my mom always acts like im bad and I dont care about anyone else. and now i don't want to be a "good girl" any more. what are some ideas of things i should do?

the mother of my kids left me a while back. i was this and that and was no longer needed. she now reaches out to tell me things like she no longer has a babysitter or things about how shes struggling with bills. HAAAA ask your new bf who gets to experience living with my kids before i ever could! im busy living. can anyone describe said feeling?

I am living in a house with my mom two brothers and stepdad . I am 18 almost graduating high school. My stepdads brother is coming to live with us and he recently just got to this country. I don't feel comfortable living in a house with some random dude I barely know . What do I do? I have a half brother so that's his uncle but not mine. I could live with my grandparents or dad in New York but they don't have room. My other brother is still 15 so he has more time in school .

There's five people in my house, my parents, me and my sister, and my grandma who has dementia and Parkinson's. We're all full-time caregivers and my dad works all day besides lunch and after 5. She works during Zumba around 5-7 times a week!! and plus she doesn't sleep a lot, or rest, and they kicked her main job where she gets most of her money and thankfully the church will let her use the gym but she has to buy so many supplies and get me and my sister to work for her to sign people in and stuff. Shes SO stressed out and I don't know what to do!!!!! she's getting older, I see her starting to age (not in a bad way, just generally) but she's healthy. It's mostly caring for my grandma. My grandma is very nice but she doesn't usually listen to the nurses rules, she picks fights, and needs a lot of attention. PLEASE, does anyone have any Ideas?! I want to help her so much and try to vacuum, clean up, feed/wash the dogs, etc. Plus I was just at the doctor with severe asthma. I feel useless! HELP ME!

My parents and brother are going on vacation the week of July 23rd, and I don't want to go because I will have summer homework to do this summer because I am going to be in 12th grade next year, not 6th grade. My parents think that I am going on vacation the week of July 23rd, but I don't want to go because I will have summer homework to do this summer because I am going into 12th grade next year, not 6th grade. I have convinced my dad that on the TV show Friends, they get to stay at home all summer on the TV show Friends, but he wouldn't stay at home all summer like they do on the TV show Friends. How can I convince my parents to let me stay home? Can you help? Thanks.

Almost the whole school has ps4 except me. I tell my mom that if you buy me I will work hard and get good marks but she says that all this is just a lie and that I wont study. I have an old ps3 with very few games (all of which I finished) I tell her that I can trade it in but she says no. she says price is not a problem. its my studies. (btw I am amazing at studies) plz help me!!! my mom now is like i wont let you play every day and only 30 minutes only on days that i will allow. and she also tells me to finish my homework fast which i do. and then i expect her to tell me that you can play but she will tell that today you are going to study. she tells that playing too much will spoil my health (even if i play only 1 hour) and thats why i stop you. and my fa2 are a whole 1 month away!!! and on the day my fa1 got over she made me revise my old portion!

I'm 15 nearly 16 and my parents split up about 5 years ago. I hate living with my mum because of her boyfriend and her taking his side every time! I have been thinking of living with my dad for a while and last time me and my mum were in a gpfight it slipped out, she thought I was just being spiteful and because I was figuring with her, but I want to move out! We fight all the time and it's basically her boyfriend that fires me up. When he first started pissing me off I just but my tongue and when upstairs to my room but now I give it straight back which just results her bc and her ganging up on me and my little brother and we are always in the wrong. She recently got into a fight with him a couple of days ago and was talking to me about what she should do and I told her to get rid of him as did many of her friends and even her sister. She just feels sorry for him of where he's going to go, and he started crying saying I'm sorry, I will change for you, but we've heard it all before. He's not going to change and she won't open her eyes up and see it!!! my blood boils when he's around and I really feel like going to my nanas but I can't get outt there.is anyone else going through the same thing? Or can someone please give me advice on what they think I should do.. I have tried talking to up,um about it but she won't listen and says he will change. Sorry for rambling on about this just I pressed off right now! xx

We are low on groceries until payday happens and I was texting my MIL about it. I told her my husband is working very little and doesn't seem to mind. We have been saving for a 1 day road trip and our puppy for years and put cash back, which is none of her business anyway. She texted me back and said she basically has no pity for us and "doesn't know what to tell us" because we "went out and got an expensive dog and went on a road trip". Would you consider that to be a snide remark (which I do)? When I called her out on the fact that they are OBSESSED with their teen boys sports stuff, she said "what we do in our personal life is none of your business now stay out of it!" Was my 1 day trip to see family and get my dog (which I saved and budgeted for for a long time) any of her concern? Why did she say that? Should I be angry? She and I can never get along, she always says something hurtful to get me upset. Nope, wasnt wanting $. wanted her to tell her grown son to get off his butt I work- but my husband doesnt. He quit his job over a month ago and turns down temp assignments while waiting on some drug test to come back from last week.
