Hi. My mother is an alcoholic. I am 13. I feel as if my dad and I are out of options. I am writing this now because my mother came home drunk. I yelled at her and now I am sitting in silence, crying. We have tried just about everything. Nothing works. I know that if she leaves the house it will become more miserable. My dad is very strict, and doesn't say "I love you" often. When my mom is sober, everything seems to be the best the world can be. Nothing is wrong. But when she drinks everything turns to crap. I still can't live without her. Help me. Please.

Okay, I'm an 18 year old high school grad. I'll be turning 19 in Nov. I'm a goodie goodie band kid. I'm not allowed to go out and hang out with my friends. I'm not allowed to date at all (And I haven't gone behind my parents back to date). I have to ask a week in advance and most likely beg my dad to be able to go out with my friends. If I go anywhere, I have to bring my siblings. I'm not allowed to talk to boys, like at all. I can't be seen talking to them because my dad thinks that I'm looking for a boyfriend. I have to be home before it gets dark or 9:40 if I'm hanging out with my friends. It sucks because I really just want to hang out with my friends becasue we will all be going to college this fall. My best friend is going to England too for 4 years. My dad hates that I always spend my afternoons at the park (I only go to the park because I want to be ready to play in college). He thinks I only go to the park for boys. I mean, one of my guy friends goes to the park but I completely ignore/avoid him because my dad might think something else of it. I cant really ask my dad anything because I know he will say no. I didnt tell him about prom or senior skip day. (Don't worry, I asked my mom). He doesn't know that I went to Kings Dominion with a group of friends on senior skip day, he thought I was at school all day. I asked my dad this week if I could go to the movies with my friends and he straight up said no and left it at that. I just feel like my dad doesn't trust me.

Both of my parents and my older brother are all short. I'm the youngest and the tallest person in my family. My mom is 5'4, my dad is 5'8, my older brother is 5'5 and 18 years old, and I'm only 16 but I'm 5'11. I just wanted to know if I'll reach 6'0 or higher and what age I'll stop growing.

We have been homeless with my stepfather for 7 months we live with our cousin and havent been to school in year recentyly my eldest sister has announced she is going back home to live with my father and grandmother and invited us to come to i want to go back but dont want to hurt ny stepfather or my siblings who want to stay i really dont want anything to happen to them if i go or my bio dad to take them back on top of that my stepfather is planning on getting married to a woman who has 4 children she nice but we already have 8 people to take care of should i runaway or return to my bio dad or is there another option?

Yesterday he called me saying that he was going to my house and he was going to kill me and he didn t care if I had the baby he was going to kill her 2. after that I calles his mom to let her know what he said to me and I went to his house looking for him to see what he was going to do and his mom said that she was going to call the police and send me to jail if I ever go to her house or look for her son again. First of all I need call him or talk to him I ve been in the hospital 4 times already cause he comes looking for me and bothering me and cause me pain and stress for the baby and she wants to come out early I need asked for him to be responsible for the baby or to gave me nothing just to leave me alone and that happened yesterday because he saw some text messages with his mom I blocked them all from my phone and I want them out of my life but when the baby is born if they want to see her what do I do?

My daughter is 16 and her boyfriend is 18 and I don't like the age difference. I know it's not a big deal but I don't like knowing that since he's older, he may be pressuring her for sex. I do like him but I don't know what to do. She really loves him but I don't even know what to say to her. How can I approach her about this?

Is there a way to stop them from convincing me to do this?

So I know this couple they never abuse their child, they always feed her &change her diaper hold her etc. thing is the parents always argue with each other, there's no violence between them or anything dangerous for the baby just them bickering &arguing They have bills that aren't being paid their house rent their car payments, etc. The father lost his job has been out of work for over a month so they both don't have an income. When they do get money from wherever, it's not going to bills still. It's going to mostly the fathers wants. The baby girl barely goes to her medical appointments for whatever reason and her nails are always dirty and they don't really give her a bath. The father has had a few affairs &also has a drinking/smoking issue. He has smoked several times in front of the baby girl &even holding her. The thing is this couple are great friends of mine they are so young though &don't think they want to be parents they love their daughter but they seem so unfit &their daughter deserves a better home. The mother also seems so miserable to be a mother they both do So my question is can I somehow talk to a children's social worker to have the baby taken away without my friends being in trouble They are very nice people but I don't think they are quite ready to be parents at such a young age. Can I tell the social worker in confidence that she won't let them know who reported it Would they take my word & the little girl away or will they question them How will it work

I'm seventeen and plan to move out of my father's house when I turn eighteen (last week in January) and live with my cousin. Before I tell you about my plan, let me give you a bit of a background as to why I want to move out. Both my cousin and I have had rough lives. My cousin had been in foster care for the majority of her life and was adopted by our cousins who then neglected her. Most of the time, she has to sleep at my house because my cousins are never home to take care of her. She recently turned eighteen and has a job as a waitress at Red Lobster, so she has money saved up. I used to live with my mom until my mom died two and a half years ago. I ended up living with my dad and quickly found out he is both physically and mentally abusive, so I tend to not stay home most of the times. He cheats on almost every woman he dates, sells drugs, and gets drunk which leads to more physical abuse (I've tried to call the cops multiple times but nothing has ever worked out, and CYS doesn't help very much, especially at my age). So my plan is to move into an apartment with my cousin so that we can live on our own. The apartments in my budget where I live are between $550 to $800. I save $100 every week from my paycheck ($10/hr) and should have around $2,600 at least saved up. That means I will pay $400 on rent, $35 on electricity, $250 on food and $75 on our phones per month, and I get paid around $750 per month. I calculated everything to be more expensive than ideal to be sure. My question is, what are some things that I should also consider? I know I need furniture, but I don't know how much cheap furniture will cost. I also know that most apartments come with appliances, but what about furniture? I also don't know how to go about renting a home, I've never done so before. Also, are there ways to make my dad less angry about me leaving? Lastly, how can I balance all of this with AP classes, NHS and track? Thank you in advance. I don't know if it wasn't clear the first time, but I already have a job. I make about $750/month and also sell art and tutor to make extra cash. I make a little more than my cousin, but our paycheck is pretty close for us to go half on everything. If something doesn't split evenly, I'll pay the little extra just since I make a little more. Okay, so there's two things. I'm planning on moving out when I'm 18 not right now. Also, I don't live for free either, I pay part of the rent with my dad and for our phone bill. It's also hard living with him since he's physically abusive. I normally go to school with injuries from him hitting me and it's too much to handle. I just need the questions at the bottom answered instead of people saying to not do it. I've attempted suicide multiple times from him being so horrible.

Every time I'm just in my room, singing, because it's what I love to do, my brother will barge in, tackle me, and start spanking me and kicking and punching me. I know he doesn't like my singing, but he hits really hard and leaves bruises. I tell him to stop and he just mocks me and my parents don't do anything about it. He is 20 and I'm 18. All I want to do is be able to rehearse every once in a while. Why is he such an asshole?

Ok so here s what happened. Long story so i will try to shorten it up. Maybe about a month ago i downloaded and app i used to have several months before that. Its an online game where u can also talk to whoever u want, my account was not deleted. So i was arguing with two men on there and one of them said "im going to hack your phone.. find out where you live.. and kill you" the other said something about kidnapping me and he mention something about rape but i dont think it was directed towards me. I left.. i got scared and i didnt wanna tell anyone even my parents because im not supposed to be playing online games anyway.. lets just say im not older than 17 but not younger than 13. Several days later i get a call from a private number, i pick up thinking it was someone i know. (That person that i thought it was always uses a private number because that person is overprotective) it was a man, he was asking if i remember him i said no. He said u dont remember me? I said no u got the wrong person, then i hung up. That person called maybe two more times and then stopped. Maybe about 1 or 2 weeks later, today, i got a call from a private number. I didnt pick up. They called two more times then left a voicemail saying. " yo I know youre hanging up on me alright? And its not cool... so u should totally stop" i told my parents about the call and voicemail but not about the online game because i dont even know if they are related in any way. I blocked the two men on the game

I always cared for my dad. He doesn't care about me. There was a point we could talk, but now he just barely talk to me. I try and do what i can, despite imperfection. I' and my sister live with parents. We are adults, i want to move out, and plan on moving out. Just got to get hired. But no matter what good i do he is negative of me. He loves my sister and does things with her. I'm never considered or included. Dad isn't concern about things that has to do with son. There was a point he left family, and if i say something about that i'm the bad person. He is hateful with me. Though i do what i can if i can. He also don't want me to do anything for him. He hates me. I'm the kind of person, that try and be helpful do what i can. But i'm hated, how to not be like my dad

My brother have depression and failed a year my mom and dad are sad on him and feel that all their money and effort went to vain and as for me I hate my parents cause they are the main reason for his sadness I blame them for my sadness too why I cant live a normal life why my brother had to be like that why my parents are like that why I am like that .....

so these days I'm more into games and I'm 15 so my mom was working and i used to lock myself in the room and play games all days. until...my mom stopped working and now she's been in the house 24/24....bringing THE WHOLE FAMILY. HER FRIENDS...MY SISTER FRIENDS EVERYDAY EVERYDAY FROM 4PM TO 12PM and i ******* hate sitting with them. so i sit in my room and play games and she comes and yell a me to sit with them. and I'm so depressed and i ******* want to die. she never understands me it's all because of my sister keep saying im useless piece of ****. and now they want me to go work.my mom keep saying i never expected u to be like that! what a waste of time raising you up. and everytime she screams cuz i don't want to sit with stupid people and i don't want work....these days I'm staying in bed pretending I'm asleep till 2pm. cuz i can't stand them anymore...they aren't giving me any privacy,and they don't understand me. they think everything is solved with yelling... screaming. all i want to do now is commit suicide

I have a huge roach phobia and there are roaches crawling all over my sister's house. It's more than just an infestation, they're crawling into her children's ears at night while they sleep! I can't live here, I just can't, and no one will let me sleep in the car (I'm 16) and all of my other sisters won't let me stay with them! Please, someone tell me what to do or how to convince my parents or something! I'm so scared and disgusted and I know I just can't live there!

My dad doesn't expect anything. I am his only child and "daddy's princes" type. I don't have much money and am not allowed to go shopping alone. He rarely uses ties. I know he likes comic books once in a while, but the only time I go is with him. I have a machine to make felt toys and purses but obviously that is girly.

I'm a 16 year-old guy with a lot of problems. My only two friends can rarely ever hang out, so I rarely get out of the house and often end up just sitting in playing video games. The reason I do this is because I want to have my solitude and my parents annoy me about LITERALLY everything. They feel the need to remind me to do everything and it's not necessary at all because I do it anyway. I switched rooms with my sister and now I live in the basement. I've made it quite cozy and I prefer it to be nice and quiet when i'm alone or gaming or watching movies or tv shows. The problem is that they call down my name and it irritates me because I don't want to hear my parents do that. We made an agreement with my therapist that they would text me when they need something but they haven't been following through. They want me to get outside in between 12 and 6 but I explained to them that I don't find any amusement in walking or taking a bike ride outside unless it was with friends because I don't want to be alone. And my friends are almost never available. They take my game controller away like I'm 10 years old and they never trust me. I'm trying to be more independent but they aren't letting me. I've just about had it with them and I wan't to pack my bags and leave just to be away from them at this point. They are being super strict without any reasoning. I'd like to go live with my uncle because he's so generous and kind and he is always willing to help or give me advice.

Also I feel a lot happier with my dad when I m with my mom I feel trapped. What should I do

I know a couple that sent their 12 year old away for two weeks to a "horse camp". I think it's way to long for a 12 year old to spend away from home. The parents though are known to want to get rid of their kids because I don't think they like spending time with them. They are always hipping them off other activities. I know sooner or later this 12 year old is going to realize the parents are trying to get rid of them and it's gong to break the kids heart probably. sorry I meant they ship the kid around to different activities all the time

I have been thinking for a little while that maybe I should have a celebration for myself to thank me for being in their lives. Of course without me my parents would be easily manipulated by some of my siblings who tried to manipulate them in the past. I realize I am the only in my family that can make rational decisions while my family of course is too trusting towards other people I have told them this already just a few minutes ago. My mom said thank you but I need to discuss with them a perfect celebration for me

tells me that her moms boyfriends dad is having cuddle time with her and her 12 yr old sister in a queen size bed. What should I do?

I'm 13 and my dad emotionally abuses both me and my mom, if I do something really small he'll tell me that he dosent love me or the next time I do it I'll be under a different different roof. And just one day ago my mom said that she asked a guy in the store where the laundry detergent is and when my mom and my dad got in the car he started screaming at her telling her that if she talks to other guys she would kick her out of the house. Now the problem is that if my mom got a divorce I don't know who would get the house, but if my dad did, then we would have to move up north and I already have all my friends here and everything (we have been saving for 12 years for this house)

Rowan Amelia and Avery Rosette I think Rowan and Avery go well together, and Amelia and Rosette are feminine enough to balance out the unisex masculinity. Plus, the reversed initials are a nice way to make the girls match but not TOO matchy. But- hubs is not so sure. He thinks everyone would expect our babes to be boys! What do y'all think? Any suggestions? -We're not expecting YET, but we have reasonable suspicion that we'll have twins in the future. We just like baby names! Thanks!! :)

My mom had to take my brother to an appointment at 11, but I guess the people at the place didn't even get him in until 12. My interview was originally scheduled at 2, but by time my mom was going to get home and the fact that I live 20 min away I would have been 10 min late. I ended up calling 15-20 min before 2pm and talked to whoever answered the phone. I told her in general what was going on and she offered to have it at 3pm. So I now have one set up for 3. Did I totally blow my chances of getting this job already? It's at Chiplotle.

I know many people just say this as a joke and all, but I am serious when I say that I'm in a desperate situation here. My mom has been physically and emotionally abusing me for the past year. She has thrown me to the concrete outside multiple times to wear I have had several bruises for weeks. I DO UNDERSTAND that spanking is allowed when it comes to a child's discipline, but to the point where I have had several bruises, I have heard that is child abuse.I experience emotional abuse everyday from my mother. She drives me to camp every morning, and all she does is call me a "loser". "low-life", "how my *** needs to get out her house." My day also comes on the ride each day and today literally cursed me out, for asking him the simplest question; "Can you pass me the burger?" from the backseat. He just looked around and before you knew it was telling me "**** you, ******* loser! You always have an attitude, you ******* low-life." What I don't seem to understand is how am I "low-life" when I hang out with five of my best friend every week, sometimes even twice? I wish I had some place to spend the night at if things got too serious, but I have no one. My best friends live 15 minutes away by car and there's no way I could runaway with a bike there. I am very stressed out, and have been staying strong for so long I am mentally unhealthy. Please leave suggestions below, would be much appreciated. -chelsea

I have a psychology assignment where I have to find a child and interact with the child, present them with a few activities, and see her/his interactions with the parent. I don't have any relatives with small kids so I asked my mom if she knows anyone, and she does have a friend with a child. She asked her if she'd participate, and she agreed. So I'll be observing the friend and her kid. My mom is so weird, she's telling me to bend all the rules of the assignment. E.g. I have to observe the kid and mom play something together for 10 full minutes, and record every interaction in that time. My mom's saying just do it for 3-5 minutes. WHY? She makes it seem like no one's willing to give some time for this. How can I just record them for 5 minutes, what on earth of the other 5? And also, the instructions are to ask the mom some questions alone, without anyone else present, but my mom says to let the kid and her dad stay there. Well, again, that would be not following the instructions. Perhaps having the dad and kid would bias the mom's answers. Why is she telling me not to follow the assignment instructions? It's supposed to take about an hour in total, she's saying finish it up in 20 mins and fabricate the rest. I cannot fabricate over half the assignment! Why is she saying this, what's wrong with her, what would you do? thanks.

So last week, my sister's mom had called child services on her on her daughter (she's 13) for having boys in her house while she was at work and for sneaky out the house late at night. I would be upset if my daughter was having boys in my house while I was gone. But I wouldn't be too upset that would call child services on her and have them take her away from me. What do you guys think? Oh and she's my half sister. We got the same dad but not the same mom.

I live in Turkey and last night electricity went off. I wanted to use my phone but it got stuck. So I wanted to restart it but it got stuck on black screen. I went to other room to my sister in law and her phone got stuck at the same time in exact same situation! Any explanation?

I'm 14 and I'm going into 9th grade. My name is Jack (well WAS now), and I'm now pretty much a girl. My mom (my parents are divorced) found out how much I like emo girls and how cute and pretty I thought they were. Well my mom who really hates emos said that if I liked them so much then I could be one. Now my hair is dyed light pink (I already had kinda long hair anyway), I'm wearing makeup, and my nails are painted light blue. My mom says until I can prove that I can be "trusted enough to be a boy again" that I can well, be a boy again. According to her my name is Ashley and I'm only allowed to dress and act like a girl (I thankfully can still play video games) and I'm not allowed to date anymore (I would never date a boy anyway) or see my girlfriend, and I just feel so girly. If I want to go swimming or something I have to wear a bikini and fake breasts and right now I'm literally wearing the cutest girly clothes you can think of, I'm wearing a pink skirt, a bra and panties, and this white shirt with pink glittery writing that says "I'm a girly girl". My adoptive sister Jamie who is 16 thinks it's cute and wants me to enjoy being a girl but still feels bad for me. Please help guys, school starts back for me in like 3 weeks and I just can't be like this. I know this sounds like a troll but I promise it's not, this is a real situation and I need real answers. Thanks!

Okay so I am an 18 year old girl living at home still. I live with my single mother, little sitter, and we reside with my grandparents in their house. Now I have a job (at which my mother will only let me work 2 days a week) and I am already taking college courses. My mom pays for my car insurance and my phone bill... And all my money I get from work is direct deposited into her savings account. My mom has been setting rules about when I can hangout with my boyfriend, and I am not allowed to do anything (not even take a walk) before I ask my mom for permission. Me and my mom have been at each others throats lately, and everytime we fight she brings up things that have happened in the past and she tries to make me feel bad like the fight is just my fault. I have tried telling her that I want and need to start being more independent from her but she just won t listen. My mom laughs at my civil arguments and passes them off as jokes. I just really need some advice on how I can start making it clear that I need to be more independent from her. I just am at a loss here as I feel I have no more ideas as to what I can do. I mean honestly it s not like I have been a troubled kid with lots of problems, I have always listened to and respected my mother, but I am getting to the point where enough is enough. Any advice anyone could give me?

My dad has never loved me like he does my sister. I and my sister live with parents. We are adults, i want to move out, and plan on moving out. Despite my imperfection i try and do what i can. There was a point dad left family, and i'm the bad person if i say something about that. He isn't concern about anything that has to do with me. He has also told me not to do anything for him. If i defend myself i'm the bad person. He act as he is ashamed of me, negative of me. No matter what good i do, he is negative of me. He says hateful things, if he argue with me. And it seems he doesn't want me as his son. My dad and my sister are always doing things together, I'm never included or considered. They go on vacation together and don't consider including me. I also do with anxiety and depression, and dad has no concern for me. Why does dad hate son? I'm searching for work but can't get hired. Plan on moving out, just got to get hired. I don't live with parents because i want to.

I have a two year old daughter, her dad and I are separated however, the issue is the fact that after I've asked him to stop he still continues to shower with her. I expressed to him that I was uncomfortable and asked if he'd not do it again. Yesterday when I went over there to take my daughter some food, he comes out and says "Daddy's about to take a shower." She looks up then looks down and continues to eat, he then repeats himself and she jumps up and starts getting unclothed which made me very uneasy. When I addressed it again he brings up my past history of being molested and said that's why I'm acting this way. Yet I didn't accuse him of anything I just asked him to stop especially since he also told me that one day when they were showering she reached for his private from then I was on guard. I've just been having gut feelings -and don't want to ignore them so last night I went and picked my baby up. Now he's mad and saying he's gonna take me to court for custody since he can't do whatever he wants with his baby smh. He doesn't help me financially the only exception is I was able to drop her off for a day or two. That's it. I didn't accuse him I'm just not comfortable with him doing it after I've asked him to stop he continued. Mothers what would you do? I'm 20 this is my first child I want to be cautious.

My wife and I had been arguing badly before we went to visit them & I was depressed. I didn't want to go but my wife talked me into it. At the sonogram, I was happy, taking video, socialized all weekend with all. BUT things were tense with me & my wife & privately we fought. I've apologized several times, sent a card, note. Now he says this. I didn't respond to his email. He said a lot of other nasty things too. But how am I supposed to feel about what he said?

It's sssooo annoying imagine having someone who copy's every move you make things I say and do it's been going on for like 2 years btw he's 10 what should I do I'm sick of it

i am very mature and responsible as many people tell me other than my parents. being a teen i have discovered myself and believe that i should be able to voice my opinions , without being silenced or write down my feelings but i cant because i know my parents will read them and i feel like its personal or they ignore what is say and use it against me . i have never given them a reason not to trust me yet i have no privacy . i am constantly being told that what i do is unsafe like walking down the street by myself . but i dont want to live afraid and constantly have to worry . i know its unsafe but im cautious and aware. the only conversations we ever have is when there either telling me what to do or blaming me for something i did not . i feel like they dont understand me and they dont even try as long as i live in there house im a possession that is under there complete control . i believe love comes with allowing others to make choices, choices and trusting them to make the right ones , but in my case i lake this completely . what should i do ? i also forgot to mention that it hurts because one would think after 17 years they would no there own daughter

I know she loves me, that is a given between any parent and their child, but she doesn't *like* me and she makes no hesitation to show it. She treats me like I'm scum. Like I'm an irresponsible asshole. She acts like I'm stupid and constantly tells me that all the problems I have are because I'm such a piece of ****. Being around people I know is the worst because she behaves about 10 times as condescending towards me than she usually is. She doesn't seem to think shes doing anything wrong either. I'm not a terrible person. I go to school and I have my own job. I make sure the house is shape and I give them the little money I make to pay for school to help with bills. I do outreach for my church and I'm the only one besides two other guys that show up because other people apparently don't have time to help on weekends. I make a conscious effort to treat people with love and kindness on my day to day. I just don't understand where she gets all of this and neither does my father, who often suffers from my moms ice cold nature. I try to understand that she suffers from issues with depression and PTSD from her childhood. She has had a bad hand in life, but its really difficult to be kind to her or recieve kindness from her. childhood. She has had a bad hand in life, but its really difficult to be kind to her or recieve kindness from her. She does help me with things that I cannot currently provide for myself such as transportation and doctor and psychiatric appointments which I need for myself currently, but she is utterly hesitant about it and always complains. I have since stopped seeing the psychiatric for my own personal problems because I can never get her to take me. I'm dealing with a lot on my own right now and don't have many friend (because of my shitty personality according to her) to keep me going. Not even home is an escape from the stresses of life as my mother constantly reminds me how disliked I am by her. I do love her, a lot, but there's nothing I can do right no except wait until I can move out of the house in about a year. How do I even begin to deal with this? I already feel unloved in general, but even my own mother doesn't like me and my dad works 90 hour weeks then sleeps so I dont get to see him much. I feel so alone.

I am 14, he is 16, almost 17. So as long as I have lived, he has always abused me. I still recall when I was a toddler he hit me over the head multiple times with a bottle and clawed my face, which left a scar that I still carry today. He would hit me, wack me over the head with books, pillows, anything really, and threw my laptop at the wall so hard the screen turned blue and busted the speaker and charger hole. He also tore off multiple keys and kicks me really hard in the knees. I'm finally done with his bullshit, but he never learns from discipline. They would take his games away, make him apologize, do extra chores, etc. I am fed up with always being attacked, and I envy those loving brother sister relationships. I don't want to hurt him because I know it will come back to haunt me eventually. Sometimes he pulls kitchen knives on me as a joke, but It actually scares me. I feel like if he had the opportunity he actually would stab me. I am writing this today because I am finally done with his mood swings. I was watching a television series, and he came over and turned my volume way down. I got mad of course, because I could barely hear it and he kept complaining it was too loud. So I turn it up again and he comes back and smashes a pillow on my head. Normally it wouldn't hurt, but he is really strong and I could hear a crack in my neck. He stole my laptop charger and left. I don't know what to do anymore. Sometimes he is fun to be around, which is very confusing...

I volunteer four hours a week, do chores everyday, I'm starting up the dance season again in August, and I'm starting school in three weeks. She always tells me I have too much time on my hands and that I should do more stuff. I thought the point of summer vacation was to do nothing. Whenever I do have extra time I help her out with babysitting and cooking. I don't know what else to do. Yes, sometimes I sit in my room and watch Netflix or YouTube but at least I'm not sitting in there all day.

Hi, my name is Jet. I really want to ask if how can i let my sister realize that she s really stupid of loving someone who isnt the right guy for her. Her boyfriend stays with her paying everything her boyfriend wants. He doesnt have work, he steals my sisters atm to withdraw a really good cash to gamble and buy cocain for himself. My sister is getting tired of working while he s asleep at my sister s apartment. He s not even handsome, he dont have talents, he dont have work, he is an addict to drugs. I even once witnessed, he almost punch my sister because of a really simple reason. And ders a lot more things he do. My family hate him so much that my dad wants to kill him. My sister is a really pretty and smart girl she graduated cumlaude when she was college. But why is she so stupid when it comes to love? Please tell me what should i say to her.. to make her realize everything..

I am confused. Why would kids hate and detest their father s first wife after his first divorce, but then absolutely LOVE the next woman (third marriage)? I mean I am finding a pattern with step kids really loving the second step mother that comes into the picture. That is so unfair to the first step mother.

She is not particularly nasty to me because I get out of her way. She talks to my mother like a slave owner would talk to their slave. My mother enabled it for years. Is she past the point of hope since she is 22. @Anonymous----Yeah although my sister is an admirer of Jill Stein because a friend is. So she is neither Republican or Democrat.

Okay, my grandmother is bossy and lazy. My family lives with her and my grandfather due to financial reasons. Even though the TV is for the family, she acts like she owns it. We have to ask her to use it, and we only get 30 minute turns once a day (sometimes we don't even have a turn) and she uses it all day. Plus, we have to go get her cigarettes because, even though she has a valid driver's license and a van, she still won't drive. I can't take much more of this. Help?

My sister is getting married and I can't help it but anytime I talk to, or about, her i get a several day long depressive state that just won't quit. I know it's bad to be this way but I can't help feeling this is unfair... she wad always the heavy awkward one who would wear footy pajamas Woolworths eating fast food, whole I was the tall skinny blonde with complete s semesters on the dean's list... Somehow she ended up getting engaged to toss guy after they only knew each other for 3 months... I hate feeling this way. I just want be happy for my sister, can anybody help?

She is 31 years old. She just had blood work done and everything came back great! She thinks you can have a heart attack and such without having problems and I and her family keeps telling her that you have to have high blood pressure and so on. She takes wellbutrin for her anxiety everyday. What can I do to keep her mind off of negative things that i have mention? She cleans house, she colors in those adult coloring books, she watches movies, and plays on her phone. She reads her phone a lot and when she read a young person dying her age, she thinks she is sick too!

My dad lives on my way home from work so I usually pop by to see him at least twice a week, usually staying about an hour or two. His girlfriend and I aren't close, they have been together less than six months, but I'd say I don't dislike her it's more like indifference. Yesterday his girlfriend message me on Facebook and asked if I could stop just "popping by". She wants me to call before I show up and to cut back my visiting. She says with me coming in that my dad and her cannot have enough time together and that she wants him to get to know her kids better who are both quite young (under 10). She says she wants me to be a part of the family but to accept that I do not live there and should be more respectful as a guest in their home. I don't want to stir up things between them but I feel like she shouldn't be upset over me seeing my dad for maybe four hours a week at most. My older coworkers say I should reveal this to my dad because his girlfriend needs to be as accepting of me as she excepts him to be of her children. Do you think they are right?

My biological father left when I was 6 years old. My mother got all rights and I have only seen him a handful of times since then. He was an alcoholic and drug addict back then but now he's clean and has a new wife and daughter. I'm now 18 and he's reached out to me and my other siblings recently and my mother was all for it, but now she's completely against us seeing him. She actually kicked me out recently so I'm not even living with her anymore. She also has a new husband but I don't take him seriously as he's 13 years younger than her, and only 12 years older than me. I really want to know my real dad, my half sister and that side of the family. But I'm scared of my mother's reaction. She's already not speaking to me because she knows I've been talking to him, but she'll be even more angry if I go out to dinner with him or something. Any advice on how to handle it without hurting either of their feelings? *side note* My mother actually didn't raise or hardly see me til I was 14 years old. I lived with my grandparents until then.*

Hi. I am a 15 year old girl. I have a 19 year old sister who is just plain rude and mean to me. She has always been ever since I can remember. My 11 year brother is always rude when he s around my sister. They always like to gang up on me and every time I cry(because it gets way too intense) they don t care whatsoever. My sister always questions everything I m doing and when I answer her in a nice way she says something that just breaks my heart. Today while we were taking a picture for our mom because we are on vacation with our dad, she called me stupid. I just don t get why she s so rude to me and I m always nice to her. She hits me on my chest at random times and expects me to respond in a nice way and when I don t, she gets mean. It hurts because since they know I m sensitive and soft they are like bullies. My sister always bring up stupid things I ve done in the past that I have forgotten about but when they are brought up, I get sad. My brother likes to hit me and kick me and call me names when I tell him no or something. Both of them are spoiled. I feel bad for my mom because she has to deal with both of their attitudes. I guess since I am a middle child they gang up on me. Please help. This has to stop. I can t continue any longer with them constantly ganging up on me.

My boyfriend is 20 and we have been together since we were 15 and growing up together. We have a 1 year old child who he has been great to. His Dad died 4 weeks ago and he has taken it really bad. He started smoking which I didn't like, and he began drinking more. Last weekend he got arrested for public intoxication and then a few days ago he got arrested again for assault and battery after a bar fight. I went to court for his hearing and saw him there in his jail uniform and shackled and I felt so bad for him seeing him like that. He had never been arrested before this and I don't want him getting into trouble and ending up in jail. I know he lost his father but he has me and his daughter to think about. He was meant to be joining the Army as that was his plan but I don't know if he will be able to do that now or in a while. I want to help me as he is a great guy but I hate seeing him the way he is now. Any advise? He was really close to his father.

My sisters and brother went through serious legal trouble, about the brother & wife saying there little girl was abused by the 3 sister's. It went as far as child abuse and involving courts and agencies.. in the end, after a long legality issues, my 3 sister were totally innocent and charges dropped. But now, 5 years later.. The brother wants to buy the family farm and pay my 3 sisters and me 50,000.. and have all grudges dropped.... But how do you drop something like what he and his wife did!! sex abuse charges were false, but left a life time of pain.
