I have an older sister and two younger ones. all of them always do whatever they can to get on my nerves, but it's more than that. they ruin my stuff, yell in my face, call me names, talk and talk and never let me get a word in without screaming to interrupt me. all because they can and they know it'll make me upset and that I won't get them back because I try to be nice. the closest I get to being 'rude' is getting angry at the way they treat me. I'll yell, telling them to stop (which, you might say let it not get to you or telling isn't the answer, but the thing is it's nonstop and I get so annoyed and frustrated and I don't want to just sit there and take it forever, it's torment.) and THEN is when my parents get involved. "can you shut up" because IM annoying THEM, but nothing anyone else does seems to matter. I ask them to do something, anything, at LEAST ask them to stop or enforce rules they've made (they're not supposed to be allowed in my room, yet sometimes I lock the door to get easy and they pick it and open up, sing songs super loud.) it's a RULE which they don't enforce and then when I ask either parent to, they say something like 'why does she have to get out?' because they can't be bothered to do anything.... ..I'll go outside if I can't get them to make my sisters stop. I hate doing it because they'll stay in my room and ruin and steal my stuff. them end up opening the back door and yelling and laughing. NEVER, do they ever get it trouble. it's just so aggravating. I'll tell either of them I hate them, or I hate that they don't care and never do anything. they call me disrespectful for it. they make me out to be such a bad person or so disrespectful and annoying because I never shut up about what me sisters do to me well, THEY never stop? it's only ME affected until it's me complaining and bothering my parents. it just sucks because I try and be nice to my sisters and I try to solve it by asking my parents to make them stop instead of being rude back. and then once again, in my parents eyes I'm such an annoying disrespectful complainer and I can't take it anymore. I honestly can't. I hate being, or trying to be, a good person and still being labeled as all of that. I have made EVERY one of these points to them yet they don't care. what can I do??? how can I make this all stop or get through to them?? I am SO frustrated. sorry for all the updates. it's long.

His grandma and I live in the same apt complex and her grandson comes there often, the thing is he's made excuses to text me like did my grandma make it up ok? When he could just call his grandma. He's asked randomly to send me exam prep material online he's studying for too. In the beginning I asked to go out and it didn't work out but we became friends again then he asked me to go eat, I've seen him glance in my apt direction when he goes to his grandmas. When I called him out from all the signs knowing he had a gf and I said a guy who has a gf can't be interested in me and he said he said he wasn't and that he had a gf he was happy with. One day he was giving me gym advice and said "don't you have a bf to teach you all this?" and i catch him glancing over and looking a lot? What's his deal? His parents also look and smile and fidget when they see me.People say friendly but why would he stare and look secretly?? Also, i don't think the gf relationship is serious cause no photos together on fb or ig and his relationship status is hidden and they've been together for 4 years already. He also doesn't go to his grandmas when my car isn't parked and i'm out of town(my roommate tells me) grandma isn't sick or anything. He comes 3x a week to the apts. Can it still happen between us? when we got into the fight I said don't message me again and i told him he's the one chasing me. After the fight a year has passed and he saw me outside and looked and smiled at me. We're both 26 btw When he waits for his grandma to open the door( in front of my kitchen window) he fidgets with his phone and tries hard to not look at me but comes out facing me and looking to see if I'm there. His grandma was also worried when I was gone for a month and went out of her way to find out where I was by sending our neighbor to ask my roommate where i was. Yesterday I received a call from my own number(spoof call) and he didn't show up yesterday. I'm assuming it was him and he hid it by not coming

My dad just lays on the couch watching tv. All he does is boss me and my mom around telling us that we need to clean i tell him to help us and everytime he gives us this excuse, " do you know how many hours ive worked this week?". If we try to clean then he says we are making too much noise and he yells at us but if we dont clean he calls us lazy and worthless. Its impossible to get anything done around here because he does that. What is your opinion?

I live alone with my dad, and I have ever since I could remember, and he's started coming into my room at night when he's drunk and raping me. I can't call or text or email anyone about it because he's also a control freak and he always checks my browser history, and all my communications. I know I should go to the police but I can't, what am I supposed to do???

I hate my dad so. i am 20 years old and in university. He complains about me always going out when i barely do and he never lets me go out and do anything ( such as chill with friends). MY family is so close minded when it comes to me but let my brothers do anything they want. I am never allowed to have fun or go out 8-9pm. I am 20 like all i want is a bit of freedom how the f**k am i suppose to get that. oh and even if i try to talk to them about it they always just say ur a girl and all that crap. Its not even Islam the religion but the stupid culture. always caring what others say. I hate my dad he always thinks he is better than anyone as well.

I'm 16 and my little brother (14) and I are looking for our adopted siblings. We've been digging and looking for about five years now. We don't have much information but here's what we have: The first adopted child is a female. Her name is the same name as mine, I was named after her. We don't know her last name. She was born in the early 90's so her age is most likely about 20-25. My father won't tell me her mothers name. Her mother had signed a document stating that she does not want any contact with her daughter and does not want her daughter to know her name. She was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and probably given up here, too. My father and the girls mother did not give her the name she has, the hospital did. My father named me the same name in a way to remind himself daily of her. The second adopted child is a male. I do not know his name, I just know that it starts with a T. The woman that is his mother is named "Wendy." He was also born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was born in 07-08 so my guess is he is probably 8 or 9. My father pays monthly child support. He got DNA tests done. He has requested no contact with the child. I found out about my half brother by snooping through his desk and finding the documents, he never told me about him. With this information, what further steps can my brother and I take to find our half siblings? Please keep note that our parents have refused to aid us in finding them, so we are doing this entirely on our own.

I HATE being touched, and I hate it when people get into my space. I try to avoid physical contact as much as possible, and if I am forced into a hug or if someone has their hands on me, or God forbid someone decides it's a good idea to TICKLE me, I'll start panicking. This has caused a lot of people to think of me as coldhearted, but I think I'm a nice person, and I wish they would just respect my personal space. Also my family, specifically my mom, will NOT stop touching me, and it's getting really frustrating. I ask her as politely as I can, again and again, to please STOP touching me and give me space, but she'll touch me anyway with the excuse of "I'm your mother, I can touch you all I want/you need to respect me, I'm your elder." She'll try to hold my hand or hug me all the time, or she'll tickle me (in which case I'll start screaming and crying and freaking out), and if I ask her to please not touch me then she'll yell at me and ask me why I can't just be "normal." I guess I understand that I'm her daughter and she's just trying to express her love, but shouldn't I have a right to my own body? It belongs to me, and I should be able to control who is allowed to touch me. I just don't like being touched, is that too much to ask for???? I don't know, am I being unreasonable? Help...

I m a 17 year old female. I turn 18 in less than 3 months. I have a part time job lined up. Mother is an alcoholic and lives in her car. my dad lives in his car. brother is not around and also lives in the car. I currently live with my uncle who basically wants me out because he had my mom living e too but kicked her out because of her drinking. I have a friend who is asking to let me stay at her house which I m sure will be okay but just for perspective... what options do I have? I live in LA county in a smaller surrounding city and I m thinking of going to Los Angeles and maybe sleep in a homeless shelter or make friends or something. I have $40. opinions? don t tell me eave my uncles. I m leaving. I just don t know where.

They don't get along and haven't since the turn of the century when the aunt started having kids. The aunt is much younger. My mother likes to hold grudges and therefore becomes angered when I, her 26 year old son, sees the aunt and cousins. How do I get them to hug and make up? Mainly because I am tired of getting grief if Mom finds out I saw aunt. I am living on my own but every now and then my mother finds out (like she sees my car at a party there or she notices I am leaving earlier at Christmas and asks me to just be honest, are you going to aunt's for desert, so I am honest and then get grief").

Im 13 and I caught my 14 year old cousin videoing me while I was showering. I deleted the videos. I told him he was a perv and stuff but he is just playing it off like nothing happened. I don't want to tell my mom because our moms are really close and I don't want to ruin their relationship. should I tell my mom? If so, why?

I am 18 years old and was kicked out of my mother's house. At the time, she was very angry with me and took my things. (Playstation, piano, bass guitar, posters,etc.) She refused to let me have them back even though ALL of those things were birthday or Christmas gifts. Thankfully, my mother and I have made up. However, the two Playstation consoles were Christmas gifts from my stepfather. My stepfather and I do not get along whatsoever, and he is now refusing to let me have those things back. My mom says she can't force him to give them back, even though they're in her house that he doesn't pay for. My question is, is it legally okay for her to give them back to me? Or for me to get them? I know it seems stupid but I would really like them back then to have to pay $800 tof replace them both.

Generally I don't like being touched, it makes me really uncomfortable. I've never had any traumatic experiences that make me not like physical contact, I just don't like people putting their hands on me. I'm a 14 y/o girl, and I have a great relationship with my mom, but she always wants to touch me (i.e. hold my hand, play with my hair, hug me, tickle me, etc.) and I've told her several times, please don't touch me it makes me uncomfortable. She still does it anyway, and a lot of the time if she tries to hug me or something and I don't want her to and tell her to please stop, she'll completely blow up and scream stuff like "why can't you just be normal?" She's tried to tickle my feet before, and I started panicking and screaming and flailing and CRYING "stop" but she just kept tickling me and I eventually kicked her (by accident), which resulted in another lecture/screaming fit. How do I get her to realize that I hate being touched, and how can I get her to respect that? Please help :(

I'm 16, in 11th grade, and already have a plan on moving out and cutting ties with her after i finish college, since its hard for a high school grad to find a job in the philippines. I can't take her behavior anymore. Her feelings always comes first, she wont let me express negative emotions, she wont let me to get mad at her, like shes stripping me my rights as an individual human being, shes very disrespectful to me and treats me like an ***, and always baby talking and wont let me grow up. Shes a muslim fundamentalist, homophobic, racist, and very authoritarian. She physically abused me in childhood. Now, it's worst with her two leg amputation and post trauma depression because of a forklift accident. Am I bad for judging her like this? Am I bad if I move out and cut ties even though she's now disabled? Am I responsible for her behavior?

I'm 25. But my mom and I always go to a salon to get our haircut, she's really good friends with the hairdresser and has been for well over 7 years. But, I want to start cutting my hair myself. My hair style is very simple. I like it just cut straight across, blunt, and that's it. Nothing special. So why would I need a hairdresser for that? So, when I do trim my hair about 3 inches (not sure about the length yet) and she notices, what do I say?

My daughter is 11. When she was little, like 3-6 years old, she would spend the night with my inlaws sometimes. But in the last few years things have gone down hill with them, they both are on lots of medication (like pain killers and antidepressants). Both unemployed, (he's on disability due to back pain, and she got fired from her job as a kindergarten teacher for coming to school high on pain meds). -Even though she denies it- They have like 15 dogs now due to all of their un-neutered dogs inbreeding, and their house is completely destroyed from all the animals and them two being too depressed to keep it up. So anyway, now it seems like they are feeling better and they claim to have cleaned up the house, and they are wanting my daughter to come spend the night again, like she used to. But due to their condition, We've kind of kept our distance the last several years. She's not all that close to them anymore, and she really does not want to go over there, and I don't want her to. BTW, these are my ex-husband's parents. I have no contact with my ex, and neither do they, so I can't have their son handle it. So tell me some polite ways to tell them that she is not going to spend the night. These are not people that I am comfortable having a confrontation with. They are very nice, but very fragile. I just need something polite and absolute to tell them. Thank you.

I need help.Now!In two months i will go to college in another city and i will have to leave my little sister with my horrible and abusive mother.Until now i have been able to protect her for the most time but now i'm afraid there's going to be nobody to help her.One time when she was drunk she even tried to kill her but i saved her.And i can't ask to help from police because my mom is a pretty influential woman and has formed a strong reputation of a "respectable" person.And most of her abuse is verbal and psychical anyway.Is there any way i can help her from this horrible human being we unfortunately depend of? Please,i am desperate.Also i live in Romania and the law here is basically **** when it comes to cases of domestic abuse.

I have a question! So my SS is 10 years old. My dh and I are having a hard time with him wanting to play sports. His mum had him play last year and he wanted to give up because it was hard. He also doesn't like doing hard things because it's not fun. His mum caters to him and I honestly think she doesn't care if he just gives up. She caters to it. She had a baby 6 months ago. I think shes more into the new baby than him. When he's with us we really encourage him to get out and have fun. I asked him why he didn't want to play fall baseball his response was""well there's to many practices and I want to be able to go sleep in and have plenty of time to play with my toys."" It infuriates dh and I . We have tried talking to BM and she's totally not on board. Shes like well I'm not making him do something he doesn't want to. There's just no motivation no nothing. Is there anything we can do. They have joint custody. We cannot go to court that's not an option. BM acts like she has full custody though and my dh never really gets a say. We have tried other activities such as boyscouts, taekwando, archery. If it's any kind of work he doesn't want to do it.

My parents and (majority of) my siblings are going out to a soccer game this afternoon.I have no interest attending and I usually stay home alone. However, I want my dad to drop me off somewhere like the library or Starbucks so I can enjoy myself. Anybody have any suggestions of how I can spend my afternoon. (I may or not invite a friend.)

Ok so I know that this is a very bad thing but I have tried so hard to get along with my boyfriend s family and I manage with everyone except his dad. His dad does a bunch of things that get on my nerve. Say my bf, Mike, is playing on the playstation all day and stopping every 10 minutes or so to text me back. His dad doesn t give a **** about the playstation, but knows that the texts are to me, and he takes away Mikes phone. His dad never lets him do anything with my family, even though we have been nothing but nice to them all. Mike and I tried to make plans before I left for a weekend in Pennsylvania and his dad said no because they had plans, that couldn t wait for the weekend because the weekend was booked. They didn t do anything that night, or that weekend at all besides sit on their asses and watch movies, and I sat home alone all night, Theres so many more reasona dn its gotten to the point that if their dad is doing something with them I don t want to go anymore, because I can t stand him. What do I do? I tried telling Mike but he s so biased and tells me that my reasons are invalid. Help me, I love Mike but I hate his dad.

My cousin stole my bf. She lives in his neighbourhood and didnt let me visit her and pretended she was me to him and hung out with him. She also told my parents to get me married to someone else. When i called her recently she was with him and she picked up and sounded scared. When after that i went to his instagram and saw his pics and one of him having dessert with her i liked all his pics except that one pic and he blocked me. Whats up with him now and what do i do? Thanks

I don't know how to tell her but like she sucks at editing her youtube videos and I wanna help but I don't wanna sound mean please help

Recently since my co worker I was really close to died, I've become really close with her sister. We have bonded over the loss and often tell each other stories of her, fun times we had and share old pictures. I'm just wondering but why does she randomly message me old stories of her? Or dreams she had of her sister (my co worker)? I don't have a problem with it at all, I'm just wondering because I never seemed to understand why she chooses to tell me. Once in a while I'll send her random pictures I find of her sister aswell, is that weird?

I was out hanging with my friends and my mom called me. When I was done talking to her I was sure I hung up the phone but didn't. She had called me again after 5 minutes maybe and said that she heard everything I was saying, including my friends. I acted like I didn't hear her and hung up. She hasn't called me back since. What do I do? I'm a bit nervous to go home in a few hours. BTW I'm 13

Okay, I know, I know, I shouldn't be snooping around in his stuff, but my younger brother (he's 13) left his phone unlocked on the couch while helping my mother bring in groceries and lately, he's been acting really weird so I took a look at his phone. He's been out ALL the time and he says he's with "friends" but he's really vague about it. He's always on his phone and occasionally, he comes back with expensive stuff my mom or I could never afford to buy him. My mother works 2 jobs, so she doesn't have time to look closely after my little brother so that's kind of my job (I'm 16). So basically, I was on his phone and the first thing I saw was the little orange icon of Grindr with like that black symbol or whatever on it. I know what it is because my best friend (he's 3 years older than me) uses Grindr and he tells me the guys he finds on there are terrible. I clicked on it and, oh god, I am horrified. My brother had taken so many pictures of himself without underwear and sent them to these men who are twice his age. Then, he came into the room and snatched his phone away and started to cry really hard and since then, he's just locked himself in his room. This happened yesterday. He's been acting like a rebel lately, my mom also found drugs in his room recently. I need to get him to stop for his own safety. HELP?? BTW, my little brother was sexually abused by our dad a lot before he went to jail. He never abused me, but he was horrible to my brother.

My mom is married to this guy who is very agressive and mean, when he s angry he abuses me, my brother and even my mom. Once he pushed me down the stairs. I ve had a lot of bruises from him. We went to police because our real dad tried to help us, and when the police officer asked if he had pushed me down the stairs my mom said no!! She lied even if she saw how i fell and then cried in her hands. Anyways police wasn t very supportive too and my brother and i had a choice - go to the place where children with no parents live (idk how its called) or go back to our home, so we went back to home because that s a way better option. I try to ignore him and I sit in my room for hours just so i don t see him, we can t go to the kitchen because he lives in a room next to it (well we can but he grosses me out and i try to avoid him whenever i can); he still sometimes hurts my brother or mom and there s nothing i can do about it, it hurts very bad because my brother is only 11 years old. After 2 years I could leave this house and go live alone (i ll be 18) but my brother can do nothing. And our dad can t take us with him because he lives in one small room and doesn t have enough money yet to rent a flat. What can i do?? Please help.

I saw my brother at midnight last night on the back porch lighting something I thought it was weed but wasn't sure he didn't see me he went out the next day so I snuck in his room and found a sandwich bag with a spoon a container that smelled like weed and some a prescription pain killer in my name left over from a doctors visit i'm 14 btw

To a kid 7 seconds seemed like a lifetime. To the uncle it is was funny. My parents said "oh he is just playing around". He died recently so now I can reveal and ask this.

I am 17 Living in Nevada and if my dad says I cant go out for the day and I leave anyways and come back at state curfew is there anything he can do? My dad is still living with his parents and he doesn't work at all he has no money in his name he doesn't support me one bit he just has control over me which he shouldn't because he has nothing. We are I am 17 Living in Nevada and if my dad says I cant go out for the day and I leave anyways and come back at state curfew is there anything he can do? My dad is still living with his parents and he doesn't work at all he has no money in his name he doesn't support me one bit he just has control over me which he shouldn't because he has nothing. We are living with my grandparents. What can I do do I have to listen to my dad when he has nothing and he doesn't support me? I just feel like hes a brother to me because of that and he acts like he is 16 years old and he smokes weed every day he used to be addicted to drugs and I dont know if hes on them now its only been a few weeks hes been clean. And he gave me no reason not to go out I did my chores and there is absolutely nothing to do here but sit in my room being depressed.. when I go out with my boyfriend I feel so much better. what are the laws in Nevada. I am 17 In Nevada what are the laws on what i can do can I leave without my dads permission and come back at state curfew?

The school year is starting so I can t leave now according to my dad who doesn t know how bad it is.

Like she constantly warns me about social stuff my Dad says not to worry about. I don't want to say "Mom your crazy" as she can't help it anymore then I can. Yet how do I respond when she is constantly telling me what not to do in public (stuff my Dad says is fine to do)? I am an adult (age 26) and live on my own but can't help but to be in public with my parents sometimes. I am learning disabled, anxious, and ADHD so my mother is overly protective. She is not this way with my other two siblings (both younger) but they are normal socially. Sometimes I do goof up but am fine 99 percent of the time. My mother is nervous as though it is still back when I was 9 and goofed up half the time.

kaitlyn, jordyn, megyn, mychal, why??!!

My uncle who is my grandmas younger brother, molested basically all of his nieces. Mainly when they were under the age of 5. My mom was 4 when he molested her & its the reason why my mom is so messed up. I've only met him a few times but I've never talked to him. When I was 17 (I'm 22 now)we were at a funeral my mom let him hold my baby sis. I took my sister out of his arms & everyone saw. He was mad of course and my cousins/aunts told my mom that I had no right to do that. My mom said I shouldn't get so worked up bc he won't do anything in front of everyone. I don't understand why everyone turns a blind eye to this sickness! He recently moved in with my mom's big sister. My younger brother (14) also stays there during summers. I told my mom I want my brother out of that house and she said "Uncle Jay won't do anything to a boy & your brother can take care of himself" I'm shocked at her! I'm living out of state so I can't do anything physically. I'm close to my grandma and I can't even talk to her about this bc she gets so defensive of her brother. Should I just Shutup and ignore this stuff? I can not stand pedophiles! I don't care if he's "family" he disgusts me! But I am too vocal about how I feel about him & when anyone mentions his name I let them know how I feel. I just don't like how nothing is being done. I doubt he's not attracted to little girls anymore.

My son is 17 years old and I am really concerned about him. He was diagnosed as a psychopath in February. His therapist had to make his diagnosis official, and he hasn't been the same since. I've grown accustomed to not knowing how he truly feels, but this is different. The thing is, yesterday I forced him to speak his mind. He told me how he hated his condition and how his life is over. Previously, he had wanted to study medicine at university, but he's persistent that they wouldn't trust a psychopath. He is intelligent, and I know he is academically capable. But I am unsure on whether his condition would affect his chances. In addition, he told me that one of his teachers ( the headmaster informed them of my sons condition) openly told my sons classmates that he is a diagnosed psychopath. He said that before he could 'fake' to fit in but now they all new the truth. I want to comfort him but I don't know how. I don't know how he truly feels and what he needs. Can any of you give me any advice?

My little brother plays this game on me were he gets me to say what and then he says that's what for example. " hey big brother, you wont believe what happened in school today." Then I would say what and you know the rest. This could get quite frustrating and how do I go about handling this situation? And don't matter what, he always gets a way to make me say what. Like "oooooohhhhh nnnnnnooooo what was that!!!!!!!!!!!!". Then for me its difficult to see it coming because my mind is not on that the whole time

Earlier today I was getting ready to go on a date with my girlfriend. It was meant to be our last date before she goes away to Spain for a month with her family on Monday. Our date was meant to be at 1pm so I had to leave at 12pm. At 12pm, I was about to leave for our date, but then mum grabbed me by the shoulder and asked me to do all the washing up, do the laundry and vacuum the living room. I said to her that I don't have the time to do it, but she said "yes you do". I said that I don't because I have a date and that she knew I had a date, but she just wants me to miss it so I can do chores instead. I then tried walking away, but my mum grabbed me AGAIN and pushed me back inside the house. She said that I am not going anywhere until I do as she tells me. I said to her that she is just making me late and that I will do the chores another time. However, she said I'm doing her now. I tried running out the door but then dad blocked the door and said, "You heard your mum. If you don't do as she asks you, we're just gonna have to punish you." My mum then rang my girlfriend and said, "I'm sorry, but he's not going on the date anymore because he has a sh*tload of chores to do. Yeah that's right, he's gonna clean the entire house. Okay, bye. He can't wait to see you next month." My mum then gave me a bucket, gloves and a scrub. She then told me to clean the bathroom. She then made me clean my sister's bedroom and her's and dad's bedroom. Were my parents right to punish me?

Well my me and my little brother always used to have fun together. But now he plays a lot of video games and when I ask him to go on the trampoline with me (he will) but he will throw his tablet then he'll stomp out of the room angirly. Another thing is I invited my friend over to my grandmas house and when we were walking outside he said "Raise your hand if you want Taylor to die." (Taylor is me) I think he was just joking and he would never mean anything by it but it still really hurts my feelings. Also one time I was in my brothers room and I had my volume turned up on my iPad and he started to yell at me to turn it down and I did turn it down. Then he still tells on me and my dad comes in the room and yells at me. Even when I try to explain that he does the exact same thing to me, I still get in trouble and I hate it😞😞 The last thing is whenever I used to hit my brother he always used to tell and my mom said that he should hit me back. Then when he hits me and I try to hit him back, I get in trouble!😩 I think I have a horrible life🙁 Please help

So, I have a cousin, I believe who is my third cousin's (Gunnar) grandmother's (Jackie) nephew's (David) grandaughter (Adrianna). So, I am related to Gunnar because my grandmother on my dad's side (Chestene) is first cousin's with Jackie which makes my father (Eric) second cousins with Gunnar's mother, Brea. Additional information: Jackie is Gunnar's grandmother on his mother's side. Adrianna, the person in question, is related to Jackie through her mother, who is Monica. I'm curious how I am related to Adrianna, any ideas?

I am divorced but I am on friendly terms with my ex wife Ann. I wish her all the best in the future. She has remarried and is getting on with her life. I got an email from her current husband that said "Ann's spending is our of control. She is wasting all of her money buying clothes. She should be saving that money so I could buy a boat. He said "how did you control her spending when you were her husband?" I am not sure what to do about this email. This guy sounds like a jerk to me but what he and Ann do with their money is NONE OF MY BUSINESS. Should I just ignore the email or tell him I didn't control Ann's spending when we were married or something else. I don't want to add to any problems they might be having and it sounds to me like they are having problems. How they spend their money is something they have to decide without any input from me. I thought about forwarding this email to Ann but would that just cause more problems for her or is it something she should know about? Should I just stay completely out of their lives and block all future email from her husband?

My dad and stepmom just had a baby, and the baby and I are 13 years apart. I haven't even met it yet, and neither has my brother who is a year and a half younger than me. We are only with them a couple nights a week. What is it going to feel like? A she going to be like a sister to me? Will we have a close or distant relationship? We are very far apart in age but we are still half siblings, so, long term, what will she be like to me?

So my uncle sexually abused Me when I was a kid. No one from the family knew until about 4 months ago I told my other aunts and uncles about what happened. But they really showed how little they supported me when my aunt had a birthday party for my cousin and didn't invite me but invited my pedophile uncle. I was so upset and angry that thy would allow him to play with her children after knowing what happened. Now her daughter is having a quincenera which in the Mexican culture is a big deal. She invited me but also invited him. I really don't want to go. But I'm not sure if I should. I mean am I being selfish for not going because of my anger or should I go to support my cousin and be there??

I have two kids right now my daughter is 14 years old and my son is turning 11 in several days.School is currently out. My son is fine he spends more than enough time as a family,but not my daughter she just stays in her room almost all day. She only comes out to eat,drink,or use the toilet. She even locks the door so I can't get in since I lost the key to her door. I want to spend time with the entire family,all four of us.I also have a home remodel planned in case I want to connect her room to mine or something. How do I make her spend more time as a family. Help! That joining bedrooms idea doesn't sound that good does it? I probably won't do it anyway. Should I change her bedroom locks since I lost the key? I have done those things people suggested but she hasn't changed a bit. Should she receive punishment.if so what? In case you're curious the reason I want her to spend family time together is to teach her when she is an adult she will have to interact with other people. I don't want to remove the door since it increases my heating and cooling bills.

Hey guys, I'm from China and I'm in high school. My parents are sending me to be an exchange student in the States in September for a semester. They've been spending a lot of money on private English tutors ever since I was a third grader, and now they want me to immerse myself in American culture. I'm being sent to half-Jewish family in a posh white town in New England. And I'll be attending a private day school there, because my parents obviously don't have anywhere else to spend their massive income. Anyway, I'm going and it's decided and everything. I know I'll probably be a bother to the family because I'm not what normal people would call a "pleasant" person. I've been spoiled by my parents from day one and I don't know how to do simple things like setting the table, doing dishes, making breakfast, etc. I really don't want to be a horrible kid when I go there. I plan on helping out with chores and stuff, but I don't know how and my parents won't teach me because those are jobs for the maid to do. I just want to be likeable to my host family, because they're hosting me and stuff. And I'm sort of representing my home country, China, and I don't want them to think that all Chinese kids are spoiled by their parents. I have a feeling that they're pretty conservative, we talked through email a few times. And they have a daughter who's the same age as me. I'm a girl by the way. What things should I say, how should I behave, etc?
