i was in my moms room and I heard my brother knock on fhe door. I pretended to sleep cause he talks a lot and my mom knew I was awake. he told my mom how his girlfriend is possessed. let's call her lauren. and let's call my brother jake. Jake said he was with lauren and she saw a shadow. he didn't see it at first but soon he started seeing it. she got scared and he tried calming her down. they decided to go inside and calm down. they still saw the whole figure of a shadow and she started acting different. he said her face turned something that was totally not human and deformed and she started garbling and growling. he said he started yelling "IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, LEAVE HER ALONE" And she growled and hissed. My brother used to do ouija boards pretty frequently but my mom told him not to. he is 20, and I'm pretty sure he isn't lying about this. someone help? I don't think he knows that j know. I'm scared it'll possess him and attach itself to my brother and bring it to our house. my brother knows about this stuff to an extent but not too much. my mom thinks he should get a priest or serious help to fix her. he tried talking to her mother but she thinks she's just insane and crazy. Help!!

I tried to sit by him and he jumped up crying and yelling "i dont want to sit by her i dont like her i hate her!!!" in front of his whole family. Im nice. Now im so embarrassed! Why would this little kid do that????

I've always had a normal relationship with my dad. I live with him and my other siblings live with my mom. My dad has anger issues and that's why I get mad easily, because of him. My mom isn't perfect either, she favors one of my siblings and me and my other siblings feel like s***. So today I went to visit my moms house because we had an important event that they wanted me to go to with them. All was good. My dad always wants me to go to my moms house whenever I want because he says family is important. Today my dad dropped me off at my moms, everything was fine between me and my dad. So I get home about 30 minutes ago and I give my dad a hug like I usually do when I come home, and he asked me how everything was and I said it was good, and he was glad. He asked me to show him videos of the event today and when I finished he starts screaming at me to show him more. I said I only got a few, because my phone died quick since it was hot. Then he tells me to move to my moms house because he "had enough of me and my lies, laziness, and all I do is stress him out". I was literally so confused because we were talking normally and were fine so what's his problem? I'm not lazy either, I do half the work around our house that he does. Anyways, I thought he was just having a bad day, but then one of my sisters came over and he starts acting all happy and energetic around her. Like what? So my sister leaves and now he won't even talk to me, I didnt do anything wrong. What do I do?

Im a boy 13 ye old. OK so I feel like I have a really or just an over protective dad.. why do I say.. Well well for example when I want to ride my bike I can't go to where be can't see me and if I want to go to let's say a roller coaster he says no its to dangerous... He didn't let me go to a field trip that was a one day to sleep there and we would camp and eat s'mores ect.. And what I think is not fair is that my sister go to go to that field trip and she was 11... And at my age she was able to do things that my dad says I can't do... Is this fair? Give me your opinions

This isn't a question but I need support through this hard moment in my life... My dad died about 14 years ago during gas station robbery. I was 6 at the time, so my memory is real blurred. All my life I thought my dad was so in love with my mom (who is white) & he would never leave us. I just feel his life was so innocent and sweet. But I talked to my ex aunt who my dad didn't like, & she revealed that my dad got engaged to a girl in Jordan. I'm shocked Beyond words that this could've possibly happened. My mom had no idea & is so heated. She said he kept asking question that didn't make sense like "what would you do if I was gone" etc. she didn't think anything of it then but now she says all this is coming together Bc he was gonna leave us for a new family overseas. More than half my immediate family says its not true & the some are saying it is. I'm hurt that my father could do such a thing. He wanted to leave me & my brother. It's too much to bare after all these years of missing him & wishing I had more time with him. He came home to my mom after overseas wanting to marry her. My mom said he would call 100x a day while he was there. 3-5mon down the road my dad passed. So now I have all these unanswered questions... Do I really wanna investigate more? I don't know. I'm so depressed & feel like I'm not good enough, that my dad wanted full Arab children instead. I feel even Arab guys would dismiss me for being only half. It just sucks .

I am a 27 year old stay at home mom of 3 and sometimes i just want a break from the kids.My boyfriend doesn t understand this and thinks I m just trying to go out and party,but I m not that type of woman.A friend of mines is in town this weekend from Washington and I haven t seen her in years yet he doesn t want me to see her at all.I do everything I suppose to as a mom,but I just need some me time to feel like myself again.What should I do?

My parents often say no and I can't get a ride sometimes so I am in the only group not to go. It is an awful feeling.

Her sisters kids are uncomfortable around me because my mother is mean to their mother. How and why am I blamed here? I have said nothing in the fight and have not given either info about the other nor have I participated in gossip. I have stayed out of it. I think both are being silly so I say nothing about it

She already doesn t like my nephew because she doesn t like being an aunt because she doesn t like ants. My little sister is my world she s 18 years younger than me and part of her life I helped raise her, I already know she s going to be jealous so I wanna do something to say how much I love her and she ll always be my little sister and I want my kiddo to be one of her breast friends in time like she is to me.

I like my mom a lot, but she can be insanely unreasonable sometimes. In September I'll be turning 18 and wanted to do something special for turning of legal age (don't know what yet). As everyone knows, senior portraits also get done around the same time in late August to early September. I brought up the topic today and my mom told me I could either celebrate my 18th birthday or have senior portraits done, which sounds extremely unreasonable to me. Which brings me to the question, do I just have really unrealistic expectations or is she truly being unreasonable? Sometimes it's hard to tell.

Ok, so my "genious" wife found a deal for 2 free movie tickets with the purchase of Huggies diapers. I knew better than to agree, since our children aren't quite old or mature enough to sit through a movie. Well, she used the promo code for the 2 free adult tickets, but purchased 2 child tickets as well, even though the theatre has a policy that permits children 3 and under free admission. I contact the ticket issuer to find out returning the 2 child tickets, only to find out that would also return the 2 free adult tickets and void the promo code. So we kept it as is. Now, rather than saving any money, we ended up spending $27 on a movie that I only watched half of. My wife was able to watch more of it. She believes that it's money well spent, since we learned that: 1) our children are definitely not old enough to take to the theatre, and 2) they aren't as out of control when we introduce them to a new, different environment. She said that it was a nice family outing, despite having to step out a couple of times. I ended up spending the second half of the movie in the lobby because our soon-to-be 2 year old was very fussy. I was a little angry for spending the money, but I think that my anger is misplaced. Maybe I really shouldn't be upset.

A few days ago my aunts moves into their new house and they asked me to baby sit their 4yo son so they could get stuff done. Btw I'm 13. I asked my mom and told her I was getting paid and she said that's fine. So I slept over for two nights and this morning my mom called and had a nasty attitude with me saying that I better not dare accept any money from them or I'll be in big trouble. I told my aunts this and they were a little upset because my mom talked to them a few days earlier and said they could pay me. So basically I'm not upset that I didn't get paid, I'm upset because my mom lied to all of us and it ruined my fun weekend. What should I do/ tell my mom?

FAMILY- BLACK FAMILIES seem deeply divided, conflicted, and not starting business, creating infrastructure, having kids that do well early on, or achieving. hmm, the black family failures has been going on for some time. BUT THE ISSUE IS DO OTHER RACES care or have any concern. if not, the black family decline and failures will worsen. some black families are doing well, but the dont share and give back to the black community. its like all black families divided and on their own.

About

My friend told me that she is scared her mums suffers from alcoholism and drug abuse and her dad suffers from drug abuse as well. She told me that her dad used to beat up her mum when she was younger until recently and she's watched this from as young as she can remember. Her parents are still together. I don't know what to say to help? She told me not to tell anyone but I don't know what to do? She's 22. She doesn't want to leave home because she's too scared of what they'll do to themselves, especially her mother as she's an alcoholic. What should I say?

I am going on 20, ever since I was 4 my mom has been verbally abusive. She had her own anxiety (I've also had anxiety since I was 7) but she ALWAYS tortured me and my brother. She would cook, clean, help us with our homework like a mom is supposed to do, my parents split up when I was 5 because of their differences but I would visit my dad every second weekend and often now. He would always provide and pay support and even went away for work to support me and my brother. My mom did what she had to do to look after us BUT she wasn't friendly about it. She was cleaning obsessively, ALWAYS cranky about something, ALWAYS yelling at little things like if I spilled juice she would have a meltdown and flail her arms and storm off. She would chase me with kitchen utensils and spank me, and yell at us, thank god my brother moved out and could get away from it all. She would scream in my face to the point where she was spitting on me, she'd threaten to put me in this home for bad kids ALL the time. She would have her own parents (my grandparents) gang up on me. or me and my brother, she would torture the living f*** out of my dad by harassing him on the daily basis, if I did something like left socks on the floor she would call him and scream and make him drive over and lecture me. My friends didn't like my mom at all. She says now that she is sorry for that, but even STILL at 19 years old I am being HARASSED. I lived on my own at 17 she told me I could come home and live for free, so I did because I had HORRIBLE anxiety, she still screams at me and she took the money my dad gave her for me. There's alot more but shes always dissing my therapists too. Everyone blames me and says nothing is wrong with her, but I'm sorry I don't see this as normal. Her fiance just watches it all. FOR EXAMPLE: today she asked me if I was done in the kitchen I said "yes, you know that" in a normal tone just as a reminder that i told her earlier she flew off the handle and said reminding a mother of something is disrespectful. Wtf? the words "you know that" DEEPLY offended her. I really don't know what to say. my bf thinks she is crazy.... My therapists also say that she has an issue but she just tells them to go **** themselves basically and that they're wrong and her therapists are right.

I am a 12 year old girl, my brother's name is Christian, he's 27, and he likes a lot of girls, he made friends with this girl that he has a crush on, who's only 13! and she got this boyfriend and he kept complaining because he wants her for himself, once he had a crush on another girl back when he was 19 he kept stalking her then when he pissed her off, she blocked him on MSN, well, back when he was 19 people used MSN or hi5 not facebook, he used to to annoy another girl which already had a boyfriend, he used to annoy her on facebook, he keeps asking her to let him lick her feet, gross! >.< btw my brother has a foot fetish, AND TODAY HE MADE FRIENDS WITH THIS GIRL THAT I KNOW FROM SCHOOL, SHE WAS MY CLASSMATE! ANS HE LIKES HER, HE TOLD HER THAT HE IS MY BROTHER, AND I DON'T WANT HER TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM! CAUSE IT WOULD EMBARRASSES ME, sorry for capslock, i'm pissed off... anyways i don't want him to piss that girl off because she has anger issues and she does mixed martial arts and she's very strong! what am I gonna do?! :(

She s been this way since she was a teen. She ******* lost her v-card at 14. She was a very promiscuous teenager. She has 3 kids each with a different father now, the eldest in like 1st or 2nd grade -,- (i don t remember because I m not close to her for obvious reasons). She s probably gonna get her SECOND divorce -,- She seems to NEVER learn. She posts bikini pics and slutty cleavage pics 24/7, and is follower by like thousands of random dudes (some of you on here doubtlessly may indeed know her, but Idgaf if you show this to her) who flirt despite the fact that she is still in a marriage -,- she is a big attention wh8re. I am going on 17 and have never acted this way, nor do I want to be like her. Ever. The only thing I can think...... Our father abused her emotionally. I really don't know though.

Hello guys today i have a brother that i have some problems with. So I have a tablet , And whenever I use it he makes a temper tanturm that he wants it. and he is 7 and he DOES NOT READ so I can't teach him that it not is his. whenever I say that it is not for him he makes an exuse

I was born and brought up in a poor family in a Asian country, and I lived in a very rural village, with no electricity, water supply or anything. Later my mom was got married, when I was 12 years old, once in a summer we went back to my uncle s house ( my mother s brother s house), it was summer days, also it was a rural village, we used to belongs to a lower caste in the village. One day, two women ( around 30-32 years old) from a rich upper caste family came to my aunt s house, they told that their milkman had not come and their cows are remained un- milked today, and they were wanting help to get their cows milked, but because they belonged to a upper cast family, and my aunt and mom were from lower caste family so they were not allowed to go their home. And only my mom knew how to milk a cow, so my aunt got a tricked, he called me and asked me to strip down quickly, I was 12 years and did not want but I was threatened, and I had to strip nude and I had to go on my knee, than my aunt asked my mom to teach those two women, how to milk a cow using my penis, at first my mom hesitated but later she started milking my tiny dangling penis like it was a real udder of a cow, it was a painful and embarrassing experience. And still has very bad effect on me but no one ever said any sorry or apology to me and I don t have normal relations with them, what do I do?

So, I just woke up around 30mins ago.. And I seen my step dad at my door just looking in my room idk if he said something before I woke to get me up but when I woke he quickly left.

I'm 13 and my mom is 42. I already have a little brother and he just turned 10 in June. I've grown accustomed to him over the decade that I've known him and our 4 person family- me, my mom, my dad, and him. It's just been the four of us for quite some time now and just today my mom told me she's pregnant. When she told me I burst into tears because I really don't want another person to join and mess up the life I'm used to. There would also be a big age gap that would be a problem, for me anyway. My mom and brother don't want the baby either but my dad really does. I don't know what to do besides beg them to get an abortion, even though I don't necessarily agree with it and neither do my parents, the 3 of us agree it would be for the best. Am I a horrible person for not wanting another person added to our family? And what should I do because I really desperately don't want them to have another baby?

My sister constantly hits me and makes fun of me and the things I like. I tried ignoring her. I tried being a assertive and I told my parents but they don t what to do. I m scared that she ll hurt me and I want her to stop but I m scared to tell people about. I m almost postive that my sister is abusing me but I just cant bring myself to tell anyone. I want even tell my parents Every thing I should. Right now im pretending that my problems don t exist. Which I know I shouldn t do. I know I should tell someone but I can t.

I had an idea for an invention a while ago but I figured it was already made or it was stupid or something like that but I recently saw the movie Joy, I kept thinking about it and realized even if other people don t like this it could be useful to someone? So I told my mother and father about my idea and they laughed and said that s not good enough or that s not useful, I believe it could save lives(I can t say what it is but trust me). I decided to bring it up again to my mom but I don t know how. Help?

My parents got divorced when I was 7, and it was so bad I had to go to a mental hospital. I didn't see my dad for a long time, he became an alcoholic and tried seeing me but my mom didn't let him. I sometimes slept over his house but left with police cause he got intoxicated but never hurt me. Now I'm 16, and haven't seen him for about 3/4 months. He has 0 custody of me and moved to a state above me with his girlfriend and my stepbrother. My mom blocked their number's on my phone and said if I talked to them I would have my iPod, phone and tablet taken away and my bf of over 1 year and a half is in Germany so I don't wanna risk that.. My dad hasn't paid child support and I guess owes like $3,000 but ik he loves me because he still sends me messages and sent me a tablet for my bday and my stepmom said he cries hysterically cause he misses me.. My mom has a warrant out for him and is bringing him to court and I may have to go too and she's trying to put him in jail..we might have to move for financial reasons again..I don't know what to do, I have so many emotional problems like bipolar and abusive past, I feel so depressed and cry at 3 am

So about 3 years ago when I was going through puberty. I had a pic of my aunts feet (I have a foot fetish) and started to masturbate to it along with normal stuff, idk if i finished to it or not, it was a really long time ago and it was weird to me, it was a one time thing, and I haven't even been close to tempted to do it again. I Know it's creepy and weird but I Havent been tempted since. Even 3 years later. I honestly didn't even think about it until now, should I tell my uncle? I feel like it's a terrible thing. I mean I can't, but this random guilt, 3 years later, is killing me. They are really close too and blood relatives, I love them a lot. Like a second parents or grandparents.

I am a mother of three (ages 6, 5 and nearly 3). Recently, my brother, his girlfriend and their daughter of nearly 3 (with high functioning autism) came to stay with us. I usually work throughout the day (with my mother babysitting my kids) however, today on my day off I have learned that my brother keeps his daughter isolated in the bedroom they all share. I do not believe that this can be healthy for her and also believe that it contributes to her night long screaming. My question is how can I approach a stubborn, always in the right, "all knowing" man about this?

Today she tried on my mouthguard to "see if it fit", and refuses to buy me a new one. I also watched her use a sponge on the kitchen floor and then use it on the countertop. She also goes to the bathroom with the door open, uses plastic bags instead of the garbage can, and tries to reuse paper towels. I'm not sure why she's like this. Every time I try to ask her to stop she tells me I'm "being annoying". She literally does not care. I have no appetite because I am constantly disgusted. Please help.

Due to some family dynamics I can't go into on here I can only go if I can get my parents to go. They don't want to go because they feel March was recent enough to have seen everyone (they saw them at a funeral in March and a wedding one week later in March as did I). So how can I convince them to go at least for an hour? They live 15 minutes from where it is being held and it is my aunt's party so a family event. I can go if with my parents but not otherwise. I got sarcastic answers only last time I asked, its a serious question.

My dad was never a good dad when I was born he was abusing my mom badly and then he started to abuse me then my mom divorced him and he tried to commit suicide but didn't succeed. He went from house to house to house and I talked to him sometimes he's probably the biggest liar on the earth he's an alcoholic and I think he's on crack too from things that have happened in the past, he is now living with a drug addict and he is getting his hild support taken out of his paycheck for me and my sister because he owes over 50,000 dollars of child support that he hasn't payed ever and I just want to talk to him because he's my dad but I have to request to talk to him through his Roomate but now she won't answer my number and I think it's because my dad told her not too because he did the same things to my mom I just want to talk to my dad but idk what I did wrong to get him to leave me and ignore me like this is there any way I can Get him to talk to me

I get so friggen sick of her gossiping to me about it and now I am about to spend the weekend with her because of a wedding we are about to go to in my step-father's family. Then she gets mad when I see her family. How can I get her to stop talking about it and stop being so bitter about it? Also how can I get her to stop giving me grief if she finds out I see them (I try to keep it a secret when I do since I am an adult and avoid seeing my mother a lot)? I see her about once or twice a month.

Well, I'm 18. Recently graduated high school. I abhor lawn care. It's basically the one thing I hate doing. I'm planning on going to a trade school to learn how to weld. And also taking vocal lessons to improve my voice. I want to sing opera. But apparently I can't do that. So I learned to weld. Even then today my mom said "I'm disappointed in you." All because I don't like to mow the lawn. It's really frustrating. I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my life, and they're making the decision harder. And that's somehow my fault.

okay a long time ago my aunt and dad used to not get along AT ALL, but a few years ago they kinda gotten a better connection. Anyways my dad has pawned many things over the years, he used to pawn my moms stuff, his stuff and 5 years ago my mom passed and it gotten worse he would even pawn my stuff and lost some of it!!! He used put a loan against his 94 Ford Explorer and it got repoed and never got it back!! My aunt knows about this, my mom used to talk about it when she was upset. My aunt got me and iPod and Ipad and first thing she tells me "Do not let ur dad pawn it!" and I don't blame her, of course he tried to pawn it and i had to fight for it, luckily I won! My dad got all upset bc I was attempting to tell my aunt, bc i was pissed! Then last year he finally got a car again, it's a 02 Chevy Suburban. He still pawns stuff today, one time he pawned all my stuff and I was furious to where I almost broke my door, and he told my laptop. Now when my aunt gives me something she pulls this "this is for you!" and it makes me dad mad, and said "does she really have to say that, like I'm going to take it from you etc) now My aunt and uncle might get me an Ford F-250, and my dad said if she says its for me, they can stick it and just keep it and maybe get a car that we can share!! My brother told me if i get the truck he said don't let my dad always take it out and I don't know what that means!! Someone please help me??! I think my aunt says this for me bc of what my dad does. I'm afraid if he blows off my F-250 I'm going to end up with a compact car or a clunker with over 300,000 miles!! I'm afriad if I get the truck he might take it out, put a loan, or sell it for cash!! It's going to be in my aunts and uncles name bc they're paying for it. sorry this so long, but someone help me understand this! Sorry I mean to put "What to do with my aunt and my dad" sorry I kinda rushed this!

My moms best friend brainwashed my dad and convinced him to divorce my mom and they were sneaking around her back seeing each other. There s a lot more to the story but it s too long and I need revenge on the *****. Me and my mom and brother got kicked out of our house so that she could move in and she wasn t even sorry when my mom asked her if she was seeing my dad. She simply said yes, I m seeing him, and left it at that. She did so much other stuff that ruined my moms and my life, so I need ideas of how to get back at her.

So my uncle is having a weeding in Vietnam and I live in the US. I really want to attend his wedding before he moves to Australia. My mom let me and my two other siblings go but my dad wouldn't let us go. The only reason he's giving us is that we have school that day. I told him I can ask teachers and bring work with me. I'm also an A/B honor roll student so it's easy for me to catch me work up. My uncle really want me and my siblings to be there at his wedding, but my dad wouldn't let us go. How can I convince him to let me go?

I am a 25 year old Bangladeshi Muslim girl who graduated college and have a stable job working for 3 years. My parents now think it time for me to get a arrange marriage. I am strongly against arrange marriage and would rather marry out of love. However if I don't do arrange marriage my parents will say that after all they did in raising me to a young women that I betray them. They will also say I will bring shame to the family and that there popularity will go down and all there friends will laugh at them. My parents will pressure me and humiliate me to arrange marriage. Please is there any number I could call to report my parents forcing me to arrange marriage? (I live in US in NY) And no I can't move out, run away, or straight just say no they will hurt me. How do I respond to my parents "After all we done for you, you betray us. Our family honor will be ruin and our popularity will go down our friends will laugh at us." Thank You

To start off, I'm 17, next year will be my last year of high school and I've been dealing with depression almost my whole life. Life has not always been easy for me because I have disabilities that affects my capability of learning. Let's get to the point, my mom does not understand my problems. I try to think of it as my dad and sister are not ever there, kind of like ghosts, because they work all the time. So it's just me and my mother. I tell my mom my problems sometimes and she doesn't understand because she's not fluent with english thus not being born in the United States. I've found that she uses me as her distraction because that's what life is all about, distracting yourself from the inevitable. But, for example, I tell her if we can go the mall or zoo and she says next time but SHE'S BEEN SAYING NEXT TIME FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. All I want is a son and mom relationship like everyone else in my school but my mom is so lazy and she wants me to be average but I have goals I need to accomplish like being a bodybuilder. My mother doesn't care about me, I'm her distraction. We barely go to the mall, only sometimes, like once every 2 months so I barely have any clothes. I have to go to get groceries by myself, and I always have to see teens with their moms and I'm just by myself because my mother is either too lazy, at work, or just doesn't care about me. I usually listen to her and obey her but it's not enough to appease her. A boy's best friend is his mother. Not mine... I would end my life but I don't want to be average so if I do die it's because I gave it my all

So my uncle is getting married and he really wanted to my family to attend his wedding ( I live in the US and my uncle live in Vietnam). My mom wanted to go and take me and my two other siblings with me but my dad won't let me and my siblings go, but I really want to go. The wedding date is somewhere in the middle of my school year ,but I'm just gonna stay there for 2 weeks. I can ask teachers and bring my work with me. I am also an A/B honor roll student so it's really easy for me to catch my work up. My mom let me but my dad won't and I don't know why. I don't know how he is gonna take care of my lil brother when my mom is gone. He can't cook, or do his laundry, and he don't even know how to take care his own little son . He mostly make me or my mom do it while he just party or play his iPad when he's home . My mom said if I'm staying with my dad, I'm gonna be eating fast food and I don't want that(it's unhealthy). If I cook, my dad will always complain like a little kid about how it taste. I don't wanna stay at home alone with my dad for 2 weeks. How can I convince him bc my two other siblings really wanna go too.

I am 5'2 105 lbs and he is 6'4 220 pounds and he says I am so light and easy to pick up and kiss

To give her the benefit of the doubt she is VERY good at her job, and for that reason it doesn't bother me that much that she gets paid more than I do (I have 2 raises coming up throughout my training period so its not that big a deal). BUT! She is supposed to be training me and its very frustrating trying to ask her questions about work that needs to be done, because she is either on the phone paying personal bills, arguing with her husband, cussing out telemarketers, setting up plans with family or what ever. By the time she is done making her personal calls she behaves like I am an inconvenience to her. She is not that bad of a person, I have talked to her, gotten to know her a little bit, but just when I think I am getting somewhere with her its back to the same old routine. Honestly I am getting so tired of her attitude, if she is not on the phone at work, she is coming in late, leaving early, taking 3 days off every other week, complaining about everything and everyone. How do I deal with this person?

In 2009 I had tickets to a baseball game. I asked my cousin and he accepted and said he'd meet me at the game. He was in a car crash on the way over and died the next day. I was not in the car with him at the time of the crash as he'd said he'd meet me at the game. I did and still do feel guilty as the one who'd asked him to the game. After the funeral the uncle (my Mom's brother) and aunt (his wife) have stopped speaking to me with no explanation. The two times they've had Christmas they've asked I stay back but invited my parents and two brothers. Recently invitations went out for their daughter's wedding in October and I am not invited but my parents and brothers are. When my mother and my grandmother have asked my uncle why they are mad at me he has said plainly "it was his game, his ticket, his idea, now our son is dead". I feel terrible by it also. I was 22 at the time and the cousin 23. I was not operating any of the cars involved as I was already at the stadium (the cousin wanted to drive over). So it is seven years later and everybody but me is invited to this other cousin's wedding. I am beginning now to be angry at this uncle and his wife. I am already one to blame myself for stuff in life too much and have serious anxiety problems, now this. At Christmas they won't say much to me and the two times they have hosted I am not welcome in their house so my parents stay back (though I told my brothers to feel free to go). So I missed the whole friggen Christmas Eve. So I have gone on and one but my question is why would someone blame me for a tragic accident? Is this how people handle grief? Would I be doing the same if in their shoes? And how might I reach out when they've turned the other way when I have tried to in the past? One of their other 2 children is cold now also (the daughter) though the son is still perfectly nice.

They don't talk because of personality conflicts and so my mother cut contact.

Yet my mother expects me to love my siblings including the brother who is incarcerated for 6 months on drug charges.

My cousin recently came over and I noticed she gave me judgmental looks and kind of avoided eye contact with me/talking to me. Her mom then told her to talk to me and she smiled/said hi. We chatted for a bit and took a walk. When we came back, i noticed she was acting hostile again and avoided eye contact as i noticed she was staring at me. Finally she told me as i noticed her eyebrows furrowed at me if I had a hair straightener because my hair got really frizzy/messy from out walk due to the humidity. She also told me if i got my eyebrows done and i should get them done in a serious tone when she thought i said no. I told her why and she said that she wanted to fix my hair a little, as she went into my room she saw a picture of me as a kid and said if it was me and said "aw you were so cute" i also sort of felt offended by that. Then when we were sitting down, when she was fixing my hair, afterwards she told me that she felt I was hiding my "potential" because she felt like i was hiding my face with my hair and said i had a "pretty/gorgeous face" and she felt i need to bring it/show it out. Then as she was almost finished with my hair she said "Its important to always look nice because you never know who you will meet" i did not know what to respond to that. I regret not standing up for myself and telling her what she did was out of the line. It still bothers me and wondering if i should send her message telling her how rude she was and how i felt. It just has been bothering me and upsetting me because she basically called me ugly in my own home and wanted to change my appearance and i never asked her anything about my looks and just want to let her know what she did was rude and hurtful! Not to mention I have not seen this cousin in years and barely know her.

Basically I was wanting an iPad for a long time and then I needed to have one for high school, so I got one. I used it for school but it was also my iPad, used it personally, brought it on vacation and holidays, and all that. Fast forward to now, school year ended and I m not going to that school anymore. So then my parents took MY iPad away and gave it to my brother. The main reason they gave it to him was because he was jealous of me. But he has a phone & a computer so he doesn t need it. I really want my iPad back but any arguments I make they just don t care. Please help!

She is my cousin and she calls me but when I call her back, she never calls me back and she does this a lot. Also, we are facebook friends and she like some of my pics or quotes. I'm confused, he she avoiding me? Advice

Siblings lead everyone to believe that you are the problem for family division, yet they talk to your face like they understand and that you are being treated wrongly by other siblings. I don't want to deal with them, so I say nothing. They are constantly making remarks that sting. Help?

So I have a Dad who I think has some mental illness like ADHD. He is abusive in a lot of ways in is very irrational. My mom knows it but she's never home. I'm scared to tell anyone because my dad will be mad. I just don't know what to do...does anyone else have an abusive dad or family member? I don't even have friends over anymore because of him. I dobt have a social life because he gets mad if I do. I wanted to spend time with my cousin and he called me selfish. He's messed in the head with a lot of things he does. He punishes me for the smallest things to. Being a teenager and living with him sucks most times. He's abusive to my little sister too.

I'm a 35 year old male and I have 2 sisters 32 & 30 and my mother who seem to be my worse enemy. As far as my sisters they make bad choices in life as far as relationships go and always end up with guys that dog them out or treat them like trash. They both have kids and the fathers of their children are deadbeats they seem miserable about everything. Then my mother and I have never had a good relationship she's only 15 years older than I am. Her marriage is always in shambles and it seems like she's always upset on the inside but fake happy on the out. For some reason I always get the backlash. I'm always happy but it seems like they want to see me down. All they do is talk bad about me and worry about who I date. They always asking me for stuff trying to get over on me. I'm a single father and sometime I need them to help me with my daughter and they take full advantage of it by asking for money for one reason or another. They'll talk bad about me to people on the outside and everything. And my sister seem to be jealous of my kid. When they do things with their kids they always leave my daughter out. Why is this?? Thanks for insight in advance. Sorry about the lengthy text.

Usually it is family she complains to her kids (12 and 15) about.
