Family: Question: Stepsister alwags wakes up late?!?

Question: Stepsister alwags wakes up late?!?

Posted: 18 May 2016 01:10 PM PDT

I'm stuck with living with my dad and on school days my stepsister ALWAYS wakes up late. We manage to make it to school before 4 minutes and when we're late I always end up getting in trouble at school because of her! She's gotten in-house suspension twice and I got it once because of her! I always tell her "Make sure to get your clothes ready for tomorrow and put up your alarm" and she barley listens to me! Her mom is always yelling at her and she still wakes up late!

Question: Alcoholic mother impossible to deal with?

Posted: 18 May 2016 01:05 PM PDT

For as long as I can remember, my mother's been an alcoholic. She lies, cheats and steals from my father and thinks she has every right to. I think some kind of trauma happened to her when she was growing up, but she won't say anything about it. She says it's the reason for her drinking and that I basically can't even say anything to her about it. It can't be talked about or she escalates it into a fight. I'll admit that I get mad when I find her black out drunk when I get home, but she gets violent. Anyways, I caught her drinking earlier today. She saw me and started yelling at me. She's very manipulative, and turns everything around on me somehow, even though no one believes her. She tries to make me out to be the bad one in every situation, and told me that I have nothing to be hurt or stressed about because apparently it's nothing compared to what she went through as a kid (Still won't tell me) I've been nice and supportive for years about it trying to get her to quit and she hasn't changed at all, so lately I've been putting my foot down and she claims I'm harassing her and need to let her "do it her way." I'm 16 and I need my mother, and she hasn't been there, she chooses alcohol over me. I've had to drag her out of a car, sit with her while she cries all over me drunk, I've found so many bottles and have been chased down the street a few times for them, I've been tackled, kicked out, you name it. She's done this stuff my entire life yet says my stress is invalid.

Question: Im going broke and worried...?

Posted: 18 May 2016 01:02 PM PDT

(Btw i live in a pretty suburban town in northern ohio)

Question: Am I wrong for keeping my daughter with me every other weekend? (The doctors say she may have ADD, she's being evaluated in July)?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:53 PM PDT

She's been failing tests, not concentrating in class, she's tired all of the time when she's not playing, and she zones out which is the biggest concern and I've been communicating with her teacher all year about it. My family is concerned about it as well so this is not a minor issue. I told her father I want to keep her every other weekend so I can understand her better and see what I can do to assist her better without getting impatient because it's something she can't control. She's going to be evaluated in another month and it's just for the next couple of months. He always says that I'm trying to keep our daughter away from him when I plan to do something with her and it's like dude, wtf are you talking about? I am in a way better position than I was years ago so I'm more active. Every time his family comes in she's with him for weeks at a time. Went to Texas for 2 months with his family when she was 4. He told his mom this and she went off on me. I'm married to my youngest daughter's father and she told me that he was more responsible than him and she doesn't even know my husband. Then she told me I won't get away with this. Even after my daughter has told me that he forgets to feed her at times, I still let her go to his house every weekend. Had issues with constipation for 2 years because he wasn't feeding her right but I still let her go down there. She looks so dirty and messy when he sends her to school and I still let her go down there. What did I do so wrong?

Question: Did you grow up without a dad or are you growing up without a dad?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:33 PM PDT

I am and now that I seem to pay attention to it I really wish he was here with me. He left my mom when I was 11 months and I know that I don't remember him, but I do wish I had a father image in my life right now. So how was your life growing up without a dad??

Question: Is it normal for parents to not like/don't trust babes?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:25 PM PDT

My parents never let me be allone with babes more than on the way home from school, or 5 minutes If she is at my place, my parents will interrupt us, if I'm at her place my mom will call and make her parents or someone else interrupt us They allways "needs" to know where I, and espescially if I am with a babe, they should put more trust in me, I'm 13 and very smart

Question: I found a didlo in my sister room?!?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:23 PM PDT

My sister took my laptop, i went to her room to get my laptop back, i found a didlo, I'm 16 btw and she's 23, she saw me before watching porn lol and she told my mom, should i tell my mom too that i found a didlo in her room? She always tell my mom everything i do, should i do the same thing and tell my mom about it?

Question: I hate my step-mom?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:17 PM PDT

Around April of last year my dad informed us he was with another lady and that they just started dating a week prior. (Mind you my mom had just left a week prior as well.) She came with her kids to meet us for the first time and then they moved in 3 weeks after.. This was hard for me as I was still coping with the loss of my mom. Right when she moved in her daughter had a major attitude with me (she still does.) and the mother had begun disagreeing with things my dad did. Fast forward to more recent times. She constantly trash talks my little sister behind her back and my older brother. She'll say rude things like "she's a lazy *** and a nasty ******* slob!". She'll tell me everything about my dads job and his life when he doesn't want us to know he's struggling a bit. She constantly fights with me about stupid thing like I woke up 5 minutes late or I brought a towel to the laundry. Not only this, but she calls my mom names to us for ex: "your mother was a nasty whore." She's constantly trying to get me in trouble and now she's trying to control us. She even got my dog killed just cause she didn't like him and she tried to take Christmas from us just because she didn't like the fact that we got presents. She's gotten on my last nerve and I just want to scream at her. I want to tell her shes not my mom and that I don't like her, but I can't. What do I do I'm afraid to tell my dad since he's wrapped around her finger. (She's done a lot more, but I didn't have enough space.

Question: When is it time to end a toxic parent relationship? What are some coping techniques to help me heal ?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:17 PM PDT

Most people would have gotten over this in their teen years. It's hard for me because my father causes constant emotional baggage. He's been very inconsistent in my life and pops up when he's not denying me. We both have caused hurt between each other. It has been dealt with and I have made peace with him years ago. My father on the other hand still has guilt and still seeks revenge on me. He is hurting by the decisions he still continues to make in our father/daughter relationship. He expects me to tell him everything and to keep him updated on my life. When I ask him simple questions about how he is doing, he gives me short answers, no response, or lies. I honestly don't feel like I should have to "report to him" or update him about my life since he clearly does not care to include me in his. Again I have made my peace with my father, but he makes it hard for me to love him and want to keep in contact with him. I honestly just don't know what to do and I am in need of a healthy way of dealing with my emotions when he does "pop in" my life. I can't make my father love, care, or want to be in my life. I'm done begging and refuse to be manipulated. I would better off if he would just leave me alone. I know I can't X my father out my life, but how can I fully heal if he continues to cause constant emotional baggage? If any of you have advice for me or knows healthy ways of dealing with emotions please help me. Thank you for your time and the advice.

Question: If my spouse is petty & illogical, is it time for a divorce or is there something I can do to curb those bad traits?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:16 PM PDT

My problem, Yahoo, is my wife. I love the woman to pieces, but to me she is the pettiest thing walking this earth. So yesterday I had my buddy over visiting. I left to get us some beer from the store, and when I come home, my wife is runs up to me and says that he rubbed her thighs and told her I was no good for her. I look at him and he vehemently denies it, stating that she just doesn't like us hanging out. Since neither one can give me proof, I promise her that I won't bring him around her anymore since it makes her uncomfortable. She starts on a petty rant about how I'm secretly taking his side because I compromised, when truth is I don't condemn people without evidence. Last month I'm at the site (I do construction), when my wife calls me breathing frantically-- "Baby I think there's somebody stalking me, please come pick me up". I'm not going to leave me wife alone if she feels she's in danger, but I'm also not going to lose my Job if I can compromise. So I call my brother to pick her up from the address she gave me. I get home and she goes into a tirade about how I should've come off my job to get her myself. I told her I had a duty to finish my obligations to my boss and she cuts me off with "Your duty & obligations are to me". I let her know ya know that I fulfilled both by sending my brother to pick her up-- same ending to two different journeys. Just petty ya know. What does it matter who picked you up as long as you're safe? Can't live like this. Time to go?

Question: Are warts a turnoff for you? Are they contagious?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:04 PM PDT

I'm dating an older woman she's really hot and beautiful but I noticed she has a bunch of warts, not genital, but on her arms face back even legs. She has a couple skin tags too. I think I have one or two warts and that's it I usually just pick them off. I was wondering if they are contagious and if you find this to be a turn-off just curious.

Question: My cousin wants to move in with me?! But I don't want her to!?

Posted: 18 May 2016 11:11 AM PDT

So I live with aunt and she had three kids. My older cousin who is like 20 moved out about three months ago. (I was sharing a room with her.) I have two younger cousins who share a room. The oldest is a girl and she just turned 10 and then the youngest is turning 8 this year. Well back in feburary my mom and aunt were talking about my other aunt moving in with us - like sharing a room with me! bc she is poor and doesn't like they way her brothers (which who she lives with) treat her. But she's horrible and has a horrible attitude and she lets her baby cry and cry. I panicked and told my aunt if my younger cousin can share rooms. But now my aunt is not gonna move in with us. And my aunt told that my cousin is gonna move in with me around August and I don't want her to share a room. She doesn't even have her period and she still little and cries like a kid - I'm 15 I wanna have my own room and she I is always bringing it up and I'm just like idk yet but no she brags and And I don't know how to tell my aunt that want my room. And I want to tell my cousin without screaming at her bc when I tell her she's not moving in and she say "yes iam." Like ughhh. What should I do?!

Question: My brother collecting my skin?

Posted: 18 May 2016 11:05 AM PDT

So I've been having some skin problems lately, they are the side effects of a virus. They make my skin peel a lot, and my skin usually peels a great deal when I am asleep. My brother comes in to my room to have a shower, as I am the only child that has an en suite, as I'm the oldest, and he doesn't want to wait for the other bathrooms to be unoccupied. I think he is taking the bits of my skin that fall off, as I keep seeing them in his drawers, and in little pots and tins. This is incredibly creepy and weird and I don't know what to do.

Question: My brother is a bum, He is refusing to attend my sister's wedding in July. What do I tell people when they ask "where is Adam?"?

Posted: 18 May 2016 10:26 AM PDT

I know my mother would be mad if I just said "he won't come after a feud"

Question: Having serious Life problems. Can anyone help?

Posted: 18 May 2016 10:01 AM PDT

So moms kicking me out soon. Im 19yr old male (but before you judge me read on) So The second i stop smoking weed for my mom, i enroll back in adult high school and about to get treatment for my ADHD for the first time since i was diagnosed as a kid so i can hold a job (been through 7 jobs last year) she decides to kick me out. She will literally argue and scream every day with me and there is literally no way to stop it, i would respond in a very calm tone asking nicely to please not treat me like that and in her head i was yelling at her in angry tone. Shes like that because of years of living with my abusive step father. When my 20yr old brother didnt defend her i as a 16 yr old stood up for her from him about to beat her. so now i have beef with her husband and now that hes scared to touch her while im there, instead of leaving him because he makes me uncomfortable she takes advantage of situation and act like she enjoys all her time with him while im always locking myself in the shed. Shes now siding on him and she hates me now but if it wasnt for me she wouldnt be in good terms with her husband cause he would just be abusing her. So for defending my mom i have to suffer and deal with this. People say just sit down with your mom and have a serious talk with her.. Guess what! i cant. I been there tried that and all she does is roll her eyes.. *sighs* then starts insulting me then before i can finish talking to her in a calm tone she always leaves to her room.

Question: How to learn to think for myself as an adult?

Posted: 18 May 2016 09:35 AM PDT

I was adopted as a young kid by a single person. I was raised by my mom but my control freak of a grandma (who is co dependent on my mom and taught my mom to be co dependent on me) always inserted her opinion and parenting advice. I am a grown woman- but always find that I have to get my in laws or my mom/grandma involved in my marriage drama because I was taught that it is their business. To this day, my family tell me to go tell my husband's folks so that they can reprimand him. When I have tried to stick for myself and tell my grandma that something isnt her business she goes "OH YEAH?!" I am going back to get a nursing degree and she said I need to cancel the class because my mom shouldnt be watching my kids and I need to put them in daycare. Now, I am considering cancelling the class because of what she said. I am incapable of thinking for myself, because they have always told me how to run my life. How can I stop this behavior? My ex husband left me because those 2 bossed him around.

Question: My brother and I NEVER talk. I've tried everything but nothing works! We used to be so close! He moves out next year so not much time left.?

Posted: 18 May 2016 09:00 AM PDT

I am a 13 year old girl and I have a bigger brother. He is 17 now. When we were kids we were inseparable. He knew me better than I knew myself, the same way he was about me. The last time we were like that was when I was 7 and he was 11. When our father died we cut every connection off. We both needed space from everybody but when we started get along with other people around us, we never started to connect with each other. Now we might not say a word to each other for months except if we ask each other something like "Where is mom?". The other exception is very weird. People say that when he talks about me (but when I am not around) he seems to love me more than anything, too bad he neither tells me that nor shows it. The ONLY time we have normal conversations is when his friends are around because they believe that we have a healthy relationship (which we obviously don't) but because when he talks about me, people believe that we are super close or something like that. I miss him a lot. I' very tried to talk to him (as a start) but nothing worked. If one of us tried to start a conversation, he/she would look like an alien, so my mom is the one tries to, but the she ends up looking weird. I miss the times we talked and argued like normal siblings. I know he loves me and I am sure that I love him but it's impossible for us to have a normal conversation even if we are just calling names to each other. He is a very open person! I would do anything to get that bond back! He leaves for college next year so (here in Greece) if he leaves, then we will never get to bond! Please help me!!! It's now or never!

He s awful to my mum; hes cheated on her and he s abusive towards my brother and sister, hitting and grabbing them every time they do something slightly out of place (staying out for an extra 5 minutes) none of my family understand, my mum shouts at me every time i talk to her about it and none of my friends can help! i really dont know who to go to or what to do

Question: Should I potentially ruin my life to fulfill my little sisters last request before she dies?

Posted: 18 May 2016 08:39 AM PDT

My little 16 year old sister is halfway across the world in Greenland, dying of chronic Lupus. I however am study abroad in America for finals. My mother called me last night and told me that my sister requested I come back to Greenland to stay by her side until she passes on and so I can rub her head and tell her everything is going to be alright, while she's dying, like I used to when we were kids. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't just pack up and fly across the world when there are finals coming up. Then again, I don't want my sister dying with regrets I could've fulfilled then but won't have a chance to do later. I've been praying for an answer and my conscience is leaning towards going back to her, but that could really hurt me at school. She may be leaving but I still have to live in this world. What should I do?

Question: Should I let my sister move in?

Posted: 18 May 2016 08:35 AM PDT

Hello. I am in a predicament. I am in a happy healthy relationship with my boyfriend of six months! We decided that we are going to move into an apartment together in June 2016. My sister (who is older) recently moved into my apartment because she broke up with her boyfriend. My sister wants to move with me and my boyfriend to our first new apartment togeter. Our new place is a 2 bedroom and 2 bath. I also have a 7 year old son who lives with me. My sister has treated me bad in the past and is quick to cut me off as her sister over small things. For instance.... My son had a birthday party and my sisters boyfriend at the time offered to pay for my food and my sister tripped that he was going to pay for me a $10 burger. She is also quick to cut me off as her sister if I don't give her money or what I owe her down to the penny! My sister recently didn't have a job and I helped her out with a little bit of money here and there . I never expected it back! My sister has lived rent free for one month with me and I ls still broke. I know I should help my family, but I don't think it's best for my sister to move to my new place. She can go stay with my mom! She has an extra room! I am afraid of losing my sister and she will get mad!

Question: Soy mala hija? Necesito consejos?

Posted: 18 May 2016 08:32 AM PDT

Hola, tengo 17 años y estos dias me la eh pasado muy triste y distraída ya que yo siempre eh sido una buena hija, salgo bien en la escuela, no soy contestona etc. Pero hace poco me empecé a desatar, no tanto con mis papás si no, en mi persona, hago mas cosas a escondidas de lo normal Antes me iba a fiestas y tomaba, tal ves me besaba con alguien y ya, la verdad yo no me sentía tan mal porque eso me parece algo normal, aunque soy menor de edad pero para mi eso no define nada Hace poco me hice un tatuaje pequeño, al principio lo ame pero después me pareció insuficiente así que me hice uno más grande, este tatuaje más grande fue la gota que derramó el bvaso para mi, me estoy volviendo loca, si me gusta pero si mis papás me descubren los voy a decepcionar tanto y tendre muchos problemas, por lo único que me pesa habérmelo hecho es por ellos. Solamente espero que no me lo vean antes de cumplir 18 para decirles. Me estoy castigando yo sola en serio que traerlo es un martirio sabiendo que me lo pueden ver Yo sé que no hay vuelta atrás con los tatuajes pero no se que hacer con mi conciencia

Question: My brother embarassed me how do I survive?

Posted: 18 May 2016 08:28 AM PDT

Everything started when my parents were planning to have a gathering at my house, and I wanted to bake something because mum wanted to have a dessert table with cakes. I baked apple pie, and while I admit I m not the most experienced cook, I thought the result was pretty good. Still, as the insecure wreck I am, I was incredibly nervous, but I hoped the guests would think that it was ok. So the thing is, nobody even tried a piece. No one at all. And I know it probably doesn t mean **** to anybody, but I felt pretty bad. And again, as the insecure wreck I am and wiht no one to really talk to without spontaneously bursting into tears against my will, my only consolence for these kinds of things is to google yahoo answers. Yeah, pretty ******* pathetic, right? My google was: "Why does no one like my cooking?" Ok, well, I kind of left my phone in the bathroom after washing my face (I ve turned the automatic locking off for when I use reference photos for my art), and so my brother sees this tab open when he enters the bathroom later. I didn t know he d found it, I prayed to God that no one had when I finally found my phone about half an hour later. And at dinner today when mom suggested we d eat my left-over pie from yesterday because I guess mum felt bad for me when no one ate my cooking, when my brother decided to share my embarassing google with both of my parents. Well fan-*******-tastic! My self-esteem is really through the roof now! What the hell do I do?!

Question: Mom is cheating on my step dad. what to do?

Question: Please help!?

Posted: 18 May 2016 07:53 AM PDT

I don't have enough points to ask multiple questions so I'm just going to squeeze everything here. 1. I spend like 7-8 hours on my phone per day and I think I'm addicted to it, how can I stop? 2. My grandma died recently and my grandpa is living with us now. I didn't know my grandma that well but I know my grandpa who is 74, and while he's perfectly healthy (she had cancer) I keep fearing that he's going to die next and I don't know how to accept that or deal with that. I don't know what I should do. 3. I skip school way too much, but I have my parents call in sick for me. I've missed about 15-20 days of school this year. I'm in 7th grade. Please don't lecture me about why this is wrong because I already know. Will I get in trouble?

Question: Help? Why does my mum always do this?

Posted: 18 May 2016 07:51 AM PDT

I'm 16 and my mum always nags at me to do something, then get angry when I do it. For example, she's been nagging at me for years to lose weight. (I'm overweight, she's morbidly obese) For the past 6 months I've started eating healthier and excersisng everyday. But she keeps trying to sabotage it, for example, she'll buy my favourite unhealthy foods, make excuses as to why I have to go back to being unhealthy, freak out if I reject any calorie ridden food she offers me and insist on driving me to school when I want to walk. This is just one example, I have many many more. Is this normal? If I told her she'd deny it. Is there any physiological reason for her doing this?

Question: Instead of closing their damn legs, why women abort?

Posted: 18 May 2016 07:32 AM PDT

I don't care how you got pregnant. You should NEVER kill an innocent baby and don't say it's a fetus-it's a BABY it's heart is BEATING. Every woman who aborted their child should go straight to prison because ABORTION is MURDER

She can go stay with my mom! She has an extra room! I am afraid of losing my sister and she will get mad! Should I let her move to my new place or make her move to my moms?

Question: Why is my mother acting this way? Does she hate her own family or life in general? Because we are tip toeing on the edge of hating her.?

Posted: 18 May 2016 06:17 AM PDT

My mother has a severe problem and I am worried. Every since my daddy lost a lot of money and he stopped being around as much (working) she's been acting worse. I mean she was pretty crazy before but now it's worse. Once (before the money thing), she wanted to move back to this small town (which is bad for my dad business) and everyone in the family refused so she stayed in her room for three days. She didnt talk to us and I think I only saw her take food in her room twice. She spent money after money on tons of crap she didnt need. She accused me and my sisters of stealing out of her purse. ETC. After the money thing and my dad being away, She started subtly (not like life time movie) slapping us or saying stuff that threatened violence. She kept us in the house (I mean seriously, we were not allowed to leave the house until we were 16 and even then one of the other ones of us had to be there or we couldn't go so we really never went anywhere and we all had free time on different occasions because she forced us in every club and sport she could think of (thats another story)). She told my sister 19 at the time that if she stay out one minute past her curfew to not come home at all. So to calm her we moved back to her small town for her but that wasn't even good enough. She started going to my aunt house to all times of night. Her emotions flash faster than ever (happy to sad to bitter to angry). She gets violent quicker now. What is wrong with her?

Question: I think my mother is trying to sabotage me getting a college education. Help?

Posted: 18 May 2016 05:36 AM PDT

My mother has. at every turn, tried to mess with my college education. First, I wanted to study abroad (and I was raising money to go), she yelled at me and told my dad I was stealing money from people for no reason because she forbid me to go (even though I'm going to be 18 when that time comes). So, since I'm under their roof I had to shut it down and return the money. Then I decided to go to Uni, I applied and got in and she said that she refuses to pay a dime because I need to go to a community college first. So I apply to a community college and I asked my counselor to help me fill out my fasfa and she tells me no no I know how to do it then later the counselor sets a date for EVERY senior to fill out their fasfa at my school. I tell my mother and again she goes no no I know how to fill it out. (1 month late) It's freaking 2 days before my graduation and I go (because my dorm buddy reminded me) Ma I need to fill out my fasfa so we need to sit down one day and get it done... do you want to know what she said.... She said she didn't know how to fill out a freaking fasfa!! but made it freaking clear that I needed the fasfa or I couldn't stay on campus! What is wrong with this woman? Why is she trying to keep me from going to college, when every second of her freaking day she's talking about she wants better for me!? Now I won't be able to fill out my fasfa until my freaking orientation! Which I don't even know i that is to late.

Question: How can I get my younger sister to respect me?

Posted: 18 May 2016 05:22 AM PDT

My sister is rude as hell towards me, she calls me names like fatass when I ask if I can eat something that she has not touched for days on end, she argues with me every morning when I wake her up for school then says she is tires because she didn't get any sleep but she is up to 3 am on her phone. She is 17 I'm 21 I love her with all my heart like any brother would but at times I want to knock her upside the head but of course I can't do that without my dad knocking me upside the head. So what can I do to get this girl to show some respect towards me? I tried being nice but that's a no go. I am just annoyed out of my mind can anyone give me some good advice and please no smartasses.

Question: How do i get extended family (cousins, aunts, 2nd cousins, etc..) excited to see me?

Question: I have a brother who is a drug addict and he will not speak to my mother or my brother after they got on him about drugs, is this normal?

Posted: 18 May 2016 04:50 AM PDT

Is this normal addict behavior? They were direct with him that he is killing himself with drugs and said it was his choice to get help. Also my mother said she will not give him money until he stops using and gets help at rehab. So is it normal that he reacted with anger at them and that he now refuses to speak to them a month after their fight with him?

Question: My mom is bipolar and extremely money hungry, and constantly hassles me for money advice please?

Posted: 18 May 2016 04:43 AM PDT

Long story short is, I'm 23, my mom is extremely bipolar and religious, my dad passed away when I was 18 and ever since has been constantly hassling me for extra money after I pay her rent which is like 400$ a month and I can barely afford that, and she can also afford to pay rent herself but still ask me for extra money , which is stopping me from being able to save to move out, she sold my car that she bought me when I was younger because I couldn't afford to get repairs done because of her constantly hassling me for money, which affected me being able to attend college and do well so I got a second job recently to save money to get a new car, get my own apartment and to be able to pay for school myself but now she's asking me for even more money, and if I get an apartment right now I won't be able to save to get anything I need and I won't be able to have transportation to my job because I rely on her for rides , and when ever I get angry about it she tells me I'm not making God happy, and that I shouldn't talk to my mom that way, and that im going to hell but at this point I resent her because it seems like she only cares about money and not my well being. What should I do?

Question: My parents live with me. Will the social worker mind?

Posted: 18 May 2016 03:50 AM PDT

Hello. I want to become a foster parent, and I'm wondering if the social worker will view my parents living with me as a disadvantage. For example, he or she will think that I am still reliant on them. The reason they live with me is because they're old and I want to be the one to take care of them when the time comes. We are all very close because our entire extended family lives in another country. It's just me, my brother and my mom and dad. :-) I have a good job, great support system outside my family, I'm in great health and our home is decent-sized. Our home has 5 bedrooms (3 of the rooms are unoccupied), 3 bathrooms. There is plenty of room for kids who need a cozy home to live in. We really want to do this. So, what do you guys think? Will this be an issue? I searched on Google but couldn't find an answer. Thank you.

Question: Are my boyfriends racist? I do not understand why they insist we break up?

Posted: 18 May 2016 03:30 AM PDT

I cannot comprehend why they want him to dump me so badly. I am black he is white He's been homeless for 5 years. I met him at the hospital I decided to help take care of him. I was 19 at the time I asked my mother if we can help him out. I had no intention on dating him. I lost my son and he was about to be homeless... I thought it was a sign. Months go by we fall for one another, I move out with him because my mother said she could not afford to take care of him. I found out he is a paranoid schizophrenic He attacked me I called the police, the police charged him. Months later we broke up his parents found out about the charge... But for some reason I think they blamed me. Even though he threatened to kill me. I got the charges dropped because he was not in his right mind. We got back together (he's currently taking pills) I knew his family didn't exactly like me from the start... Now every chance we have an arguement they insist he leaves me. I have been nothing but kind and respectful to them. My family took their son in. We made him feel like he had a family again after they threw him away. He had a drug addict girlfriend they had no problem with now their telling him to leave me because 'we argue too much' his sister won't talk to him because he would not leave me, she has never met me. I am hurt and insulted because I love their son I took care of him when they were too embarrassed to because of his mental condition. I just feel like giving them what they want.

Question: 4 year old tries to get me jealous?

Posted: 18 May 2016 03:22 AM PDT

The minute i ignore her when she wants attention she goes directly to daddy and says i love u daddy gives him a ton o kisses and hugs then looks over at me and smiles. Like im supposed to feel bad shes not doing that to me. I can care less. What i dont understand is why she just cant play with her toys why does she always expect attention. I dont give her attention because when i do she doesnt listen to anything i tell her. If i ignore her all day she is very obedient. But why does she try to get me jealous i frankly can care less how many hugs and kisses she gives my husband in front of me. The minute i walk away from them two, she stops hugging him.

Question: Help? Why does my mum do this?

Posted: 18 May 2016 03:21 AM PDT

I'm 16 and my mum always nags at me to do something, then get angry when I do it. For example, she's been nagging at me for years to lose weight. (I'm overweight, she's morbidly obese) For the past 6 months I've started eating healthier and excersisng everyday. But she keeps trying to sabotage it, for example, she'll buy my favourite unhealthy foods, make excuses as to why I have to go back to being unhealthy, freak out if I reject any calorie ridden food she offers me and insist on driving me to school when I want to walk. This is just one example, I have many many more. Is this normal? If I told her she'd deny it. Is there any physiological reason for her doing this?

Question: How do I help my mum who s having a what I think is a "mid-life crisis"?

Posted: 18 May 2016 03:04 AM PDT

My mum is only 36 but she feels as if she s getting old. She had a divorce with my father about two years ago but found herself a boyfriend(who I assume does make her happy). But the problem is she feels she s not good enough she has always been very slim but she calls it "too skinny" and wants to change that. Then comes the problem with the job she has, she s a cleaner in a factory and does work very hard every day. However, she has a degree in Computer Science and I.C.T. but she thinks nothing has come out from that and because it was a few years ago it s out of date and useless. Thirdly, English is her second language (as is mine but I learnt it at a young age so its not a problem for me) but she feels that she can t get a new job and do something better because she doesn t speak good enough English. So my question is how can I her 17 year old daughter help her in this time where she feels not good enough at all?? I ve tried just being extra kind and loving to show her she is enough because she really is, she s super smart and loving and caring...but she doesn t see it. Help!!

Question: My mom hates me?

Posted: 18 May 2016 02:16 AM PDT

I think my mom hates me, she's always mad at me, and she's rude to me, and scream at me ALL THE TIME, I'm 16 years old boy, and I'm sure she prefers my older sister, she loves her, i can see that, but she hates me, she always makes me sad when I'm happy, and I'm sure she doesn't care about me, why is this happening to me? I hate my life, and I don't want to live anymore

Question: My mom says I don t love her?

Question: I feel like killing myself?

Posted: 18 May 2016 01:40 AM PDT

I'm 15 and I literally hate my life. I don't have a mom and I live with my dad and he's constantly controlling me. He thinks that I'm some idiot that has no idea what I'm doing, he isolates me from going over to people's houses , he never lets me do any extracurricular activities, I can't go anywhere out the house even when people offer me to take me somewhere. He's the reason why I have no friends because he won't allow me to contain a relationship with them. I have to keep up a relationship with them through a cell phone which he takes away constantly. And please don't tell me to "talk to him" about it because I've already tried, he brought up the child vs adult thing and literally told me my feelings don't matter because I'm a child and he's an adult. It's not just him, it's everything. No one cares about me, I don't have a family. It feels like I don't even exist, and sometimes when I wake up I feel like killing myself and I know when I turn 18 that I'm gonna be even more alone. I don't even have anyone to talk to. Is there anything I can do to make my life better?

Question: Hey guys.. it's really important.?

Question: Should I block my mother in law's calls?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:42 AM PDT

My husband and I have been married for nearly a decade. His mother and I cannot stand each other. My mom (adopted) is extremely selfish and co dependent and loves for us to fight, so my husband says she feeds into our fighting and encourages it, I agree- because whenever she tells me to say something to his mother- I do it and it gets her all riled up. My mom also feels that his mother also loves to stir the pot w/me as well. She does nothing but brag about herself and how successful her husband has been and it drives us nuts. My husband says it is wrong, but in order for me to work on changing myself and being happier, I feel that it is best that she and I have no contact and that I block her phone calls and texts for a long time. My cell phone provider easily allows me to do this online. So- am I right in wanting to block this woman from irritating me? I have told her to stay out of my life several times and to stop talking to me, she still tries to randomly contact me and then we get to arguing.

Question: Is it normal to feel jealous and envious of my friends and their family relationships?

Posted: 18 May 2016 12:31 AM PDT

I grew up with a toxic mother and a father whose whole family was located on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. They divorced when I was around 10 and when I was around 11 my mother cut off all communication with her side of the family and refused to let me speak to them so I spent the last 7, almost 8 years without speaking to my maternal aunts, cousins, uncles, and such because my mom said they were a bunch of liars. So i had no interaction with anyone but my mother, her brother, my sister, and my maternal grandmother. I've spoken to one of my paternal cousins in France but it was over Facebook when I was 13. Fast forward to now, I just graduated high school, and instead of celebrating it with my mother and grandmother, I went over and spent it with my best friend and her family. Seeing how they were together made me feel kind of empty and depressed that my family wasn't like that; I felt jealous of her and how strong her family bond is. Is this normal? Should I be feeling this?
