One of my other cousins had always had a strong dislike of me and I didn't do anything to her. Not even once! She gives me such a hard time and ignores me when I speak. She purpously bumps against me and never says excuse me. She's 5'0" and tiny. I'm 5'11 and 16 years old and I hate being tall and everyone making a big deal. My 5'0 cousin that doesn't like me said, "You WAY taller than 5'11! You're 6ft at LEAST! No you're 6'2. Why don't you play basketball since you're so TALL!!!" with a hostile look and stomped on my foot and walked off. She likes my sisters and my brother. She doesn't act so hostile to the other women and she is even nice to my 5'8 cousin. But when she sees me, she gives me dirty looks and one time, when I said hi to her, she walked RIGHT passed me and ignored me. She gave my sisters and mom a hug. That hurt my feelings. She never tells me or invites me to events but invites everyone else. How can I get her to accept me?

I am 26 but fear she will hold me back like a kid. She is trying to protect me but I am too old to need to be protected.

She is 24 and I am 16. She is real bithcy

She is a teenager and loves dolls. She plays with them all the time. She isn't trying to make friends and doesn't have a boyfriend yet. And she is an only child. What should a mother do?

So my high school is having spirit week next week and Tuesday is cultural day. My mom and family is from Guyana South America and we are Indian Portuguese and black. I'm wearing a sari but want to incorporate all three into my outfit. Does anyone have some ideas? Also what can I wear under my sari since my school has a dress code? Anything will help. Thanks!

I am a teen boy. Every time I visit my aunt she hugs me and always gives me presents? But my mom always acts bossy. My mom never hugs me.

My aunt is 34 years old she's obsessed with Justin Bieber. Not just obsessed she's crazy about him. She even said he's dreamy. At her work she has pictures of him in her office she listens to his music during break. She likes almost every JB page on Facebook. Even some I didn't even know they had. She even loves his movie Believe3D. She even has the movie. I think she's probably one of his biggest fans. But I think she's too old to be obsessed like this. She acts like she's 13 or 14. At least she doesn't cry over him. Good thing she's not married or doesn't have kids. Even though she's 34 she acts like shes a teenager. I don't know what's wrong with her. How can I help her ? Why does she love JB so much and why is she acting this way ?

I am a high school girl. My school is a short distance from where my mom works. Sometimes after school I go to mom's work place and wait for her to get off work in the company cafeteria. Mom is the only woman employee at this location. While I was waiting for her, I met and became friends with a lot of her co workers. They are some really great looking guys. Several of them told me "I see where you get your beauty from. Your mom is gorgeous." Some of the guys there told me "Your mom would make a trophy wife". Anyone know what that means? Is it a compliment I should tell her about? Would my mom want to hear what her fellow employees are saying about her?

Whenever I do something bad or good my mother finds out super fast? How can a mother tell if her child is lying or not?

I'm going to turn 16 in about 2 weeks and my mom wants me to come visit her( I live in Chicago;she in Indianapolis). My mom had me at 15, then left. We speak very little and she's trying to recover from alcoholism. It's been like 4 years since I last saw her. I fear if I go it'll be just too tense. Should I though?

Tomorrow my aunt is having a party and my mother is going to be mad that I am not leaving with her (my mother) 30-45 minutes into the party but I want to stick around for all of the party. How can I get my mother not to give me grief? My mother leaves early because she is uncomfortable with her brother there who has alcoholism but I don't mind. Also she will worry I am staying too long but I leave as soon as it is over and I always make sure NOT to be the last one to leave. What can I do to prevent this dilemna? I am 24.

The death anniversary doesn't hurt as much for some reason as the anniversary of when all her family was there at Labor Day two years ago. Labor Day Weekend and the end of summer brings the memories so much more then her birthday or death anniversary (both in October). I feel like I do in October and I think because the whole family was there. We are spread out across the country so all of us being together is rare and only happened once since she died (also for a funeral). So how can I get through this weekend? Any thoughts on how I might survive? Labor Day Weekend was very hard last year.

When I am with my mother I have to see this woman sometimes. I am an adult but I obviously see my mother. How might I get out of seeing this friend of my mother's who is with her all the time? My mother likes to backstab my Dad and step-mother and so now she has this friend who does also.

I live in Derby but used to live in Southampton. Things are tough up here with my job and shouting at home. Recently we all had a bit of an argument and my step dad boiled and told me I'm an embarrassment and I need to find a place to move out to if I don't like it here. Also that he wants nothing to do with me. The next day he acts fine as if he never said those things however I cannot forget what he said, after all you don't say those kind of things if you don't mean them. Everything mounts up to make my life depressing. I'm debating whether or not to go and live with my real dad who still lives in Southampton (200 miles away) where all the rest of my family lives also. Approaching them to tell them this is my hardest decision as I am not sure what to say and how to say it or even when. i want them to know that this doesn't mean I don't love them its just I want to make things easier for them and myself at the same time. Basically I wish to know if this is a good enough reason to move into my dad and uncles house and if it is, how to leave. Thanks in advance/

She lives with me i take care of her, i have 2 older brothers that she doesn't want to live with but now she's telling me to practice a religion and marry a man from a specific culture that i don't want! i hate men from my culture i'm also not religious i would talk to god in my own way but god always listens to me and always protecting me she's telling me what to do and when i tell her that this isn't what i want she gets upset i get upset and then we ended up fighting! i mean what the hell! she's a loser!!! why would i want to take an advice from her! i'm waiting on her disability to get approved so i can get her own place and so i can finally fly and get out of my nest! she's always telling me what to do and it upsets her when i don't do it! she put her nose in everything! in my friends in the men i date in my clothes wear this and don't wear that your breast are showing! i know she's my mom but **** dude this is not healthy i'm dying everyday because of how she treats me! oh and when i told her i got a job she said oh no! instead of saying congrats and be happy for me! it's like she wants me to be a LOSER like herself! And also she made me get a sugar daddy to pay for my bills who happens to be old and nasty and also nagging all the time! i'm tired of it he treats me like ****!!!

I go to the gym everyday and I have an aunt who goes to the gym as well. She has work, so she doesnt go at the same time as me to the gym. She asked me if I can go with her at night & I don't like going at night because it gets crowded but she said that it's not that crowded around the time she goes to the gym. She asked to go with her & I agreed,but then she canceled on me because she was too tired and I got a little annoyed. So then again she asked me the next day and I told her no because of what she did and I don't want her to do that to me again because its a waste of my time. She said that it won't happen again and to go with her again & I said ok. She canceled again. Then 2 days later she asked me again & I told her I don't want to go around that time & she told me "it's okay , just come".& I said ok again. & so then at night my mom and I drove to her house and we told her to come out,& she said that can't go anymore! 2 days later my sister & I got invited to a waterpark from the same aunt. I didn't want to go because I was mad at what she did but then I told my sister what had happen 2 days ago and that I was mad and she said that was messed up of her doing that to me.Two days later she said yes to them about going.I told my sis "wow thats messed up that your'e going". My mom thought I was jealous for saying that, but I'm not because if my cousin/aunt did something mean to her,then I wouldn't have gone either. So did that make my sister look fake for going with them?

never met my biological father before, but intend to within the next few weeks. We've been in contact on Facebook, etc. I'm very nervous and I don't know what to do or say. It was my choice to find him and get answers about things, but I'm petrified. Advice please, so I don't make a fool of myself and start crying!!

So I'm 17, I have 5 sisters, 3 brothers, 4 of which are elder. Three of my sisters are married, another is engaged. They all got married quickly, settled down, having kids ect. Rich, clever husbands, whilst they just sit at home looking pretty and looking after the kids and house (kinda old fashioned traditions in my family). My parents want me to do the same. They want my little brothers to have high paid jobs and wives. It frustrates me because my siblings listen like they're brainwashed or something. I want to do more than get married. I love music, travelling and just having fun. Yet for some reason because I don't follow dumb rules and dress up all pretty everyday I must be crazy according to my family.

So i want to apply for this job and it seems like a good job. They said you need a degree in psychology or sociology. I just graduated college with a degree in sociology and have a minor in developmental disabilities. The problem is my mom worked for this company in the early 90s and early 2000s. I don't know if she would want me working there. However, I been going to my mothers job all the time when I was younger. I think it is the same position my mom had that they were hiring for. The only reason my mom left is because the company was having finical trouble and told her she can stay if she took a lower pay but she didnt want that so she left. I don't know what to do. I really need a second job and this could be the job for me for now, with my part time job working retail... should I show my mom the ad later and talk to her about it? I wouldn't apply if she didn't feel comfortable with it. I know I can do it, only because of my mom and I saw her doing her job so I kind of know it and my mom can give me pointers and tips about it and stuff. when i said financial trouble i meant like in 2005 is when she left, its been over 10 years they are still running

I lived next door to a couple who have two children and I constantly hear doors slamming and screaming. More than that, though, I hear the little boy sometimes say "Wait until daddy gets home." Yesterday, I was walking up the stairs to my apartment and the little boy was standing on top of the stairs and ran down to his mom's car. He almost got hit twice when he was coming back. I told him that he needed to ask his mommy before leaving his apartment. Then the mom opened the door, screamed "Get your *** back inside" and whipped him so hard he fell on the ground. I know its not my job to stand in and tell her how to be a good mom, but i don't know. Should I call CPS on her? The dad is a little rude, but I never hear or see him do anything to his children.

It's pays 16$ to begin with and will increase in due time. I get great benefits such as health insurance, life insurance, bonuses,and vacations, they are also going to pay for my schooling to move forward with the company, once I am done with schooling she is set on going into the army for one year and they also give great benefits, her mom and friends are very supportive and her mom said she will help as much as she can, her best friends family said they can get us a new car for cheap monthly payments as her dad works at a dealer, I have money saved up myself, when I told my mother she was at first surprised and kept saying go to school and which I proceeded to say I'm still going to go to school, then she contain let said it was not my child and which I know it is my child. My parents and family will not be of support to me should I move out or try to talk to them one last time?

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?

Ok, so this thing won't let me put everything I need to put about this question in here. Basically my biological father was addicted to porn, was doing drugs, and was an alcoholic. He was talking me and my sister off and on for a few years. He stopped for about 6 years, we started again because I got back in contact with him. We found out he was close to where we live. He said he moved here "to be close to his babies" and visit us. Lived here for THREE YEARS, only asked to visit us ONE TIME. I told him no, he left a few months later back to Florida to get married. Now my sister made false allegations about us and got herself into foster care. Dad said he's upset CPS didn't take me too. He hasn't talked to me in 3 weeks except a few days ago he left a voicemail saying he wanted to Skype on Saturday. I said no. He emailed my mom telling her to have me Skype on Saturday. She told me, I told her I'd deal with it. I told him no, and explained that ignoring me made me upset. He hasn't responded. I want to deal with this maturely but I'm not sure how. Should just Skype with him and explain everything?

We have three rooms for rent in our condo. By law, we are only allowed to rent two of the three rooms. Since January, a family friend asked if he could stay in one of our rooms, since two were rented out he was allowed to stay for free. We took into account his situation and his health problems. Now, one of the rooms is not rented and we asked him to pay rent as of this month and he said that he is unable to because he does not have that amount and it was a very short notice. So we then change it to say to please pay rent starting next month

People around me have blamed me for being an overbearing mother in the past, but what would YOU do if your daughter's boyfriend (now husband) has this background: 1. His father is an alcoholic; was in prison for domestic violence against his wife. 2. Non-existent mother; leaving home after her husband was tried and no one knows her whereabouts. 3. His elder brother was expelled from school for beating up another pupil; whereabouts unknown either. 4. I found out he was using drugs shortly at high school, before being put at a foster home. Although he did enter university (where he met my daughter), he was VERY unsociable toward us, and I was uncomfortable with his drug past. Be HONEST, wouldn't you be wary if your daughter is dating someone with this background? I voiced my concern, and it made me the "bad guy". He turns out well today, but how could I know that? Although I've said sorry, I'm still the "bad guy" in his and my daughter's eyes. I've lived with this reproach for years. It's hurting me again now b/c I'm the last one to know that my daughter is going to have a baby. My husband told me just give it time but for how long?

How do I forgive him? How do i handle this? I yelled at my dad and girlfriend because I was so mad. I'm lost about how to feel now.

My older cousin is 31 & since she was 16 she was a prostitute & had been in many abusive relationships w/men & women. But as long as they helped her maintain a certain lifestyle she was okay with whatever. She's gained so much self respect for herself during these last two years & got her first job/GED. She just got her CNA license & I helped her study/trained her since I'm a nurse. Today she starts one of her two CNA jobs. She's so excited & im so proud of her. I want to have a surprise party for her to celebrate this but my mom says that's being a little dramatic for a CNA. Everyone in our family talked so much crap about her lifestyle & never wanted me to be around her but I've always seen the good in her & she's my favorite cousin. She's ALwAYS been there for me & helped me through everything without passing judgement. I'm just REALLY proud of her lol. I'm 22 & we can't really agree on a lot of restaurants/bars bc I choose places she hates. So I want a house celebration. Should I just buy her a gift? Or go thru w/a celebration?

I live in my uncles house with my parents and I m 18. My uncle kicked my dad out and he had to sleep in our broken car with no tags or insurance. My dad used my uncles truck to get to work and now he has no place to stay and no way to get to work and make any money. He is staying at a hotel we can t afford and he is drinking (he is a recovering alcoholic) and he saying he is giving up and that he wants my uncle to take care of us now bc he can t. I don t know what is going to happen to him and us. Please please I need help urgently. I am asking for advice or anything I guess.

I'm 17 years old, I live in Tennessee and my dad lives in Texas. He moved there when I was around 7 years old and has been there since. Do to our lack of seeing one another we really don't have such a good bond. I mean the only thing we have in common is video games and movies. He barely calls and always expects me to call him first. Which I don't. Whenever he comes to visit he always goes out from 9am-2am and we barely spend any time together. He came down last week and the only bonding we did was when I got him to watch supernatural with me. And that lasted around two hours and he was gone. Now that I think about he's never been that relevant in my life. My grandparents treat him like the best father in the world. Not to mention that he got two More women pregnant while in Texas. Now he has seven kids he barely sees. My three brothers live in Tennessee with me and the younger ones live in Texas. When ever it's time for him to go he showers me with money as if it's going to change anything. Is fixing our relationship worth it or should i just tell him to screw off

i feel horrible about this. yesterday i was at work and on top of my manager yelling at me, i'd had a bad day, as i'd received news that my grandma had gotten into a second car accident using my dads car. no one was hurt but our insurance will probably go through the roof bc its the second time. anyway, i was just about to leave my shift, and she kept yelling at me, and i just sorta broke down and started sobbing. i felt i had to explain myself so i said "my grandma just got in a car accident" and then she pulled me out of the room and hugged me. i feel horrible now since 1) no one was hurt in the accident yet i still cried and 2) it was in front of everyone :(( I'm only 17 btw

I don't understand how welfare works. Someone said you have to have kids to get the free money from the government if you can't find a job. But what if you're single and don't have kids and also can't find a job? U can't get money in the USA for that? Also, do they give you money or just food stamps? If just food stamps, how do you buy non-food?

My name is Victoria and I sometimes go by Tori. But if you guys can give me some good ideas that'd be helpful. thanks!!

Let's say someone graduated from college and couldn't find a job and was estranged from family. Would they get free money from the government? Do they have to work for it at all? How does it work? And what happens if you run out of welfare?

Ok so I love my mom but I'm starting to dislike her. She's protective, nosy, and has anger issues. I am NOT a spoiled brat. Okay? My mom hates my personality. I'm messy (it's just me) and I'm too nice. She's a neat freak and doesn't mind hurting someone. Iv always got along with my dad a lot more. She used to abuse me and now I have depression. She's still emotionally abusive. My dad does ALL the work in the house. He barely sleeps, has high blood pressure and I stressful job. Yet my mother takes credit for some of his work, even though she does barely anything in the house. She's always yelling at me because I'm messy. It's just my personality, im disorganized. There's nothing I can do about it. She's always bugging me.

So pretty much every Sunday, my mother and grandmother go to bingo. Guess its their quality time together. Well awhile ago a lady that was there that associates with my mom but doesnt really know much about her, said she saw the number 11 around her and asked if anyone was sick and my grandma was at the time. My grandma died on December 11. Just really weird.. And then recently I went with my mom on Sunday I actually had off work and the lady doesnt even know me and started telling me all these things that actually made sense in my life. Well I'm worried BC she said she seen the number 9 around my mom and the last time she gave my mom a number it was the date my grandmother passed away. I'm.freaking out.

I've been babysitting for a family every day after school for the past 4 years. Last year due to club activities I couldn't babysit on Thursdays so my brother took over just for that day. At the end of the week the mom would pay me and she would often give me an extra 10 or 20 dollars saying "you're always so flexible with your schedule and the kids love spending time with you so I don't mind giving you something extra." When I payed my brother for the day he worked I would only give him the amount that he had earned, everyone in my house knew she over payed but they never said anything about it except that she's so generous. But then the other day my mom started saying that I had been scamming my brother by not giving him any of the extra money and she's saying that starting next year I have to pay him half of all the extra money I get, and my brother's saying that I should compensate him for all the extra money that I didn't give him last year. I always thought of the extra money as something like a tip, and even if I did pay him then why would I give him half when he only works 1 out of the 5 days and the kids have told me that they don't even like it when he babysits because he's boring (I always play with them and bring crafts and games etc). So should I pay him any of the extra money like him and my mom want, is it something like since he worked he also deserves a cut from the extra money?

Going to my first club, wanted to take my dad with me just to be sure.. Is that a good idea?

My little sister was doing summer theater with this boy she really liked but she never got to be with him. They ended they're play last weekend. She came home crying because he left before she could say goodbye to him or give him a hug. She won't see him again for another few months. She had a dream about him last night it made her sad. She's even more upset because he's gay he'll probably never wanna be with her. But she calls him her boyfriend. He doesn't mind he thinks it's cute. He said he'll come to see her next play in October she's worried he won't come or he'll foget about it. She doesn't want to go back to sleep but it's too early for her. She's worried she'll have the dream again or a different one. One problem he's way too old for her but she doesn't care she loves him she said age doesn't matter to her. She said he's really is sweet to her. She's really obsessed with him it's all I've been hearing about all summer. Once in a while she'd cry about him. How can I comfort her ? He's 30 she's only 13

I woke up this morning hearing notices from dad room. Really I don't mind him trying to get her pregnant I really want a baby in the family.

Last night me and my siste were sitting in the living room when we all noticed some weird blue lights outside the window it wasn t a car or anything else that was explainable ( about 2-3 am ) . When my mother (whom lives About 5 minutes away from our house ) came this morning she had explained the same thing we saw wirhout us ever mentioning it . What could It have been ?

Now that I am older I am realizing when I was 18 she wasn't nagging on me to get mh life together like most moms but I kinda wish she did because I am now miserable trying I used to think those moms were mean but now I think it's great that they do that for their children so they wouldn't be miserable later on I mean she is trying to help a little bit but I wish she would push about it more she did it to me for a program I obvisouly didn't want to go into does she just like it when I am miserable? Seriously she brings down other people when I could bring her down so bad but can't get kicked out because I have no friends to go to lol. And don't judge in your comment because you don't know the story.

I was originally from country A. Then I moved to country B which is a better country. I did my college and university in country B and now has a decent job. Somehow, I have been quite occupied with studies/work to find a decent girlfriend in country B. So my parents and relatives are trying to arrange me with someone from country A. It's all ok until I start noticing they won't find anyone suitable for 2 years already. And also whenever they find a potentially decent girl, one of my cousins in country A will try to get close to her. Once my interest in a potential girl goes off, his interests will go off also and he will move to another one that people are trying to suit to me. And the weird part is my cousin is willingly unemployed in country A and my relatives and family seem to be in good terms with him knowing he's trying to intercept any good proposals for me. To make things worse my family and relatives don't really want me to move on in life too. They show they are trying to arrange me but they are not taking any incoming proposals seriously. I want them to end this misery for me but I can't argue. Any advice to improve on this situation?

ok so my sister blames me for every bad thing in her life. what ever it is. we used to be like bestfreinds. she is 22 and i am 26. i am a man. if we argue over something stupid she calls her boyfriend to defend her and he takes her side no matter what. i tell her why you do that? she says i want someone to defend me. her boyfriend is a douchbag. he comes in my room without knocking the door and tell me how to treat my sister. which is non of his business anyway if i fight with my sister. my sister really takes advantage of that. every stupid argument between us she acts like a victim and i am the abuser. she always makes me feel guilty and tells me i always start fight with her. when it' not true she says she doesn't care about how i feel and she says if she is a bad person why wouldn't' i leave her. she tells me to give her space. i don't do anything but she acts likes she is the victim here. she feels she is so right. she says hurtful words to me and when i say hurtful words back to her she acts like a victim. we live together alone. my other brothers used to abuse her so we moved out to live together. she always makes me feel a bad person but i swear i try to solve everything with normal talking but all she does is blaming blaming blaming. and when she has nothing to say she says. "i am bad so what leave me alone i hate you" i need help i can't leave her alone she can't pay the rent. he is my sister after all she says her life is so beautiful if i just didn't exist. which makes me so sad i love her o much she knows that. she says her boyfriend treats her better than i do. i have no idea why she compares him to me by the way i can't leave her alone she doesn't want me to leave the house she can't pay rent. in my culture there is no such thing to leave your sister alone. i am a worthless piece of hit if i left my sister. that's how people will think of me.

I'm a 17 year old girl and my parents have made me worthless and constantly yelled at me,bullied me,and sometimes hit me since I was about 11 years old.since im a senior and going to college next year they've become extremely controlling and bullying because they know they wont have control anymore soon. and i just cant be the perfect person they want me to be.they dont understand that im literally just a teenager and i cant be a perfect human that doesnt make mistakes.its been years and years of verbal and physical abuse and i dont know what to do because i love them but they make me feel worthless and its depressing.

hello everyone im a young mom only 20 years old i have a 3 year old who has autism. His father and I can't seem to find anything to control our son. When we tell him no don't touch that or no you cant have that he'll come over and hit us to get our attention then he'll keep doing it also throws a pillow or whatever he finds and hell run and laugh. Time out DOES NOT work he laughs he gets out the chair hell continue to do the same thing. Im so fed up i cry so much cause its just getting worse. Today he woke up at 2 a.m my father is staying here because he had surgery in his ankle and he ran over to the living room where he was sleeping and jumped on his leg. I yelled at him and i tried to make him go back to sleep nothing worked it now 7;47 am and hes still not listening. I have to bring him to his bus stop at 8:10 am im scared because hes a carseat child and the car seat is built in next to another one and yesterday the bus driver told me he would not stop hitting the kid next to him he would laugh and spit on him. i have no idea where hes getting all this. me and his father have a great relationship, but im the one mainly with my son since his father is working two jobs to get money to go on our disney trip in december

Hi. im a senior and I'm graduating in May. My sister is in her second year of university but she's studying here in the city and lives with us. although she got accepted to study in the same country but different city my parents didn't accept that. they have a rule where no girl sleeps outside the house unless she's married. they're typical arab parents who are overprotective. I'm sure that even if i get a scholarship they'll still force me to study in the same city and live with them. i really want to study in a different city because the universities here suck!! My dad says that my grades will decide where i go but I'm sure he's just saying that to motivate me to get good marks. what can i do to allow me to study one hour away from them? its a hopeless case. and my sister says that they won't let me go unless she comes with me but i don't want her to stick by my side for the next five years or so. please try to understand that they are very very hard to convince. i honestly don't know what to do. I've tried talking to them about this a million times but they always shut the subject down. also, I'm gonna have to take care of my sister since I'm more responsible than her and i don't want a burden on my shoulders. i love my family but i feel happier when I'm away from them. i know this is wrong to say and I'm not using the university thing as a way to get away. the universities in this city really does suck. my mom doesn't want me far away bc she has a hard time in airplanes

They say I can't but I really want to and don't want to have to wait 4 years until I am adult. Especially since I know his name on-line (his picture appeared). How can I convince them to let me? They don't want me to because they say it might hurt my feelings to find him and be sad if he isn't Superman but I know he isn't Superman so I don't know why they say that unless they are jealous. He didn't want me when I was born because he was a teen and his Dad had just died but he might now that he is 34 or 35.

I'm a 20 years old female, I live with my family, Father, mother and 1 brother, And I hate my dad and I wish he was dead by now, And if anything happens to him i wouldn't care less... He's abusive in every single way, he's the worst person you'll ever meet in your whole life, (i'm not exagerating), He keeps screaming and yelling at me with no reason, He will make fun of me when we are with other people, Saying that i'm sociophobic and weird, (yes I am he made me that way since i was a kid), He treats me like crap, He never asked me if i'm fine, never talked to me, Never knew anything specefic about me, He only knows my NAME that i'm his daughter, He insults me in every occasion, Tells me that i will be always sociophobic that i will be always alone, I will never have a family or a husband, Cause i'm fat, ugly and pathetic, And in the end he tells me that i'm a bad daughter, and no one in the world treat their FATHER like I do ? He's obssesed with controlling everything in my life, He doesn't know how to communicate, if I respond to him he would go crazy and yell at me and call me hurtful names, I cry each time I talk to him in my room, And I close the door on myself cause i don't want him to see me crying, He wants me to die, he thinks that this way he's pushing me into suicide, I'm depressed, anxious, I have no one, no friends, nothing at all.... Cause he turned me into a cold and weird person, I hate all men because of him, This feeling is horrible, cause hating him means Hating him means hating part of myself, Our family is destroyed because of him, Me and my brother are most of the time sad and depressed, My mom is always sick and crying because of the problems between us and him, He's a narcissit jerk, he thinks he's a god, I want to learn driving, he worships his stupid car, He would yell at me if i make any mistake while driving, I can't afford moving out, Cause i don't live in the US, here we can't have money until we finish studying and get a good job... I can't move out, Until I finish my studies and get a job, he keeps telling me that i'll never get a job cause i'm retarded, That i will never succeed in anything I do in my life, He doesn't abuse me physically, But when i was a child, He used to beat the **** out of me, me and my brother... He's not doing drugs, alcohol etc.. he's 100% conscious and healthy, But he's crazy... I hate him i really think of killing him sometimes, But i can't dirty my hands and can't go to jail and destroy my life I told my mom, the only way i could ever be happy for once in my life, is : him dead, or me... Or at least not living together in the same place... That's the only solution for this problem, I have to take his abuse for like 4 more years... But I can't i'm tired i'm so tired, I always ask myself, why can't I have a normal father like my classmates ? Why did he even get married and have kids ? If he's going to make them kill themselves ? I will celebrate the day he dies, help me please ?

What's does it mean to be "Touched" or "Moved" by something? What do they mean to you?

So I'm almost 16 and last year found out that I have 2 sisters (I'm adopted) and we finally got to meet 2 months ago after talking everyday until then, they live a 5 hour plane flight from me and won't be able to see them for a while, is it a thing to get sad/depressed from being separated from my biological siblings? Is there a genetics thing with that?

My dad is so incredibly controlling and misogynistic and these are the words of my mother not me. He constantly needs to feel in control of situations and it makes him beyond unreasonable. For example, my dad likes to do dishes a certain way which is fine except he wants everyone else to do them that way too not fine. One day I washed dishes and stored them innthe dishwasher like everyone else except my father does. The next morning at about 7 he pulled me by my ankle out of bed and told me I didn t wash dishes right and that I needed to fix it immediately. Another example was the day my brother, my best friend, and I went to Six Flags. Right before we left my dad explained that he had wanted us to do yard work so I said to him "oh sorry but we ll do it later." That night at about 10 at night when we get home my dad says "well now s later let s do the yard work." Yes at 10 at night my father made all of us including my friend do yard work. There are countless situations just like these two and I really cannot deal with him. In the past my dad s control issues have left me in deep depressions. He has tried to control who I marry, told me I need to lose weight when he is the only person in the house who is overweight, and he has done and said many more hurtful things. I m 17 just starting college and all I want to do is get as far away from him as possible. Please help me learn to cope somehow.

My parents live near my husband and I. Frequently when they are having people over they will ask us to come. We feel like their filler couple, but have never told them this. Today my cousin texted me early this morning to ask if we would be at dinner at my parents tomorrow night. We had not been invited at that point so I told her no. We were fine with not being invited. Then my mom calls tonight and asks if we want to come. Obviously they knew about dinner plans much earlier because my cousins text ccame early this morning. I said we would go but would leave early, but the more I think about it tge more I dont want to go at all. Seems like we are last minute filler again. Doesnt it? And is it bad to bow out after saying yes?

Okay so my parents are divorced, and I go to see my dad with my brother every other week. My dad treats me horrificly bad. He is never nice to me and treats my brother so much nicer. He's just rude. And then when it comes back to seeing my mum again, he lies to her saying that I've done all these bad things wrong and I'm a trouble maker, and I'm discusting for my age. My mum nearly always believes it and I try to tell her that he's lying. But she doesn't believe me. My mum is making me see him when I really don't want to because of the way I'm treated. Please I don't want to see him, can somebody tell me if I should have the rights to see him or not?? I'm 14
