Family: Question: Legal advice for a caregiver?

Question: Legal advice for a caregiver?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:44 PM PDT

Hey guys, So for the past year I've (19y/o) been taking care of my mom (BACKSTORY: March of 2015 she had open heart surgery and immediately following she had a major stroke which left her incompetent.) My sister (20) lives here with me and takes care of her when she is off of work, and so does my SO (23). In the past five months none of my moms other kids (50, & 52) have came to help us out (even when they did come over they would constantly be calling onto me or my sister instead of doing it themselves) and so we've decided to move. We're wanting to move two hours away and the other sisters (50, 52) do not agree with that. They say that is unfair that they won't get to see their mom. They complain to my other sister (20) who works with them both on a daily basis and always say something about her money and her personal belongings.. I know that that is all that they care about but they doesn't hold up in court. I'm asking to see if anyone knows my legal rights here in South Carolina. P.S: she has NO power of attorney.

Question: What the hell is wrong with my mom?!?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:43 PM PDT

My friend gave me a $100 gift card today, and as soon as I got home and told my mom she forced me to give it to her. She also said, "When you're older, you better give me your whole paychecks as son as you get them, because I am your mother." Clearly, something is wrong with her. Why is she so retarded?

Question: How do you make it up to someone for being awful to them for so long?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:42 PM PDT

I've been extremely awful to my brother and mom for years. I yelled at them for no reason and sometimes I would even hit my little brother. I realize now the damage that I've done but unfortunately feeling guilty doesn't help anyone or make it up. What should I do?

Question: Did I do something wrong with my sister's ex husband?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:31 PM PDT

My company was downsizing and they told me I was on the lay off list. I immediately tried to find another job and there are just NO jobs to be found in my city. That would be a disaster for me as I could not pay my rent or car payments. The company told me they had opening that I could fill if I upgraded my computer skills to use their new computer system. The only way I could do that is take the training 60 miles one way away at a cost of $3500. I knew my sister's ex husband Bill was into computers so I decided I had nothing to loose to call him and ask for his advice. He told me he would be happy to give me the training for FREE. I almost fainted. He did give me the training for free, I got the new job at my company at a higher rate of pay than my old job. I told Bill I had to repay him some way for the great help he gave me. He said the only payment he would take is to have dinner with me some time. We did and it was the greatest dinner date I have ever had in my life. Did I do something wrong here and do I have to tell my sister about this. I think Bill and my sister had a friendly divorce and they have both moved on with their lives. I don't want to damage my relationship with my sister. ALL ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Question: Is it worth it to tell my parents i self-harm?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:20 PM PDT

I have self-harmed for years and have struggled with hiding the scars from them. My parents are verbally abusive and yell and fight all the time, and I really don't want them to scream at me. again. they screamed at me when they found out I was suicidal, telling me I was stupid, that I'm not depressed (I never said I was so I don't know where it came from). They lectured me. for three hours. with my younger siblings listening in the other room. I have no privacy now, they go through my phone and read my texts aloud, anything that comes home from school they go through, my notebooks (for school) they go through. Its ridiculous in my opinion. But then when they get mad at me they'll yell at me to just go in the bathroom and kill myself like the suicidal little ***** I am. If I tell them I risk another huge lecture, I risk losing their trust, and having no privacy (at this point there probably is no privacy for me to lose) on top of other ****. I don't know what to do because it will probably only be emotions like disgust, disgrace and anger that run through their heads. That was the way it was when they found out about my suicidal ideation. Is it even worth it?

Question: Is there anything sadder than watching parents standing at the grave of their son?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:02 PM PDT

I'm writing a sociology class's assingment in college, they asked us to describe what's the saddest scenario we could ever think of. I picked up an image of a man,standing next to the grave of his son in Arlington VA. That just brings me to tears no matter what. It's against nature. I feel tremendous respect for our military. Someone once said that "in peace time sons bury their fathers and in war time fathers bury their sons". What do you think about it? Obviously I've talked about a war related context but you can add your thoughts about this subject more generally anonymous: I was talking in general. Plus don't put words in my mouth,I never said that a civilian life is less important than a military one

Question: About the UC applications family size and income section.?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:59 PM PDT

Being the age of 25, I just want to be sure I do not screw this section up. I haven't been a dependent on my mother tax return for I believe 2 years. So when i'm asked how many people are in my family, does the question mean my legal family? As in wife and children because I have neither. Or my blood family, as in mother and younger brothers. As for income, would it just be my income alone? Or since I am still living at home, would that be a combined gross income with my mother and myself? Thanks for the help guys and gals.

Question: I've been invited to a 70th birthday party for an uncle. What do we get him?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:54 PM PDT

We usually just see him once a year at the family reunion. He's diabetic and doesn't drink.

Question: Can i press charges against this person?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:51 PM PDT

I don't want to bore any one with too much detail but basically i have a piece of **** of a brother who's been out of control with a lot of things. One morning i get up around 8 or 9 am, and see him smoking weed outside in our open patio. we were both staying at my moms for that weekend or so (school break), and i tell him to basically have more respect for our mom and don't do that in such a open place where neighbors can easily see and report us (we live in apartments). We also only had one room open in the house and we both had our luggages there, and after smoking he goes into the room and locks the door. i confront him and tell him to keep the door open since i have my belongings there and he was going to sleep or take a nap in which i still wanted access to my belongings. he replies "no i want to jerk off" or something aggravating like that, he's a real piece of **** as u can see lol. anyways long story short, i tell him i don't care what he does or anything, just keep the damn door open as i just want access to my things. we get into an non-physical argument and my older brother comes to settle things, basically telling him to simply keep the damn door open as its not a big request. to which the little **** basically replies with a middle finger. and soon as we step in the living room, he locks the door again and wouldn't open it, and while my older brother banged on the door asking him to open it, he kept mocking us and being more disrespectful. a little more below!

Question: Separated parents - child misses mom?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:44 PM PDT

Hi, I m hoping to get some help on an issue with my boyfriend and his son. He is a separated parent of 3 years. The child will soon be 6. He spends every single weekend with us (Friday - Monday & Tuesday evening). Of late the child s been saying he doesn t want to come to his dad s and constantly says he misses his mum. Now this only happens when he s tired, he doesn t want to do as he s told, when he can t get his own etc. My boyfriend has told him off once for saying he misses his mum, not because of what he said, but because he says it when he can t get his own way. (He told his mum and this caused hugged uproar and contact was stopped again). Some children will throw a tantrum, where he uses emotion, you ll get tears and puppy dog eyes when he can t get his own way. But with him saying he misses his mum so much my boyfriend it is really hurting, he s so upset. And he is such a good dad, there is nothing he wouldn t do for his child, he has ALWAYS been there and always paid for him. Now his dad ha fought a continuous battle to see his son, (far too much to mention). It was a bitter split and court battles, she s done everything in her power to stop them having a relationship. For the mother - the child has never been her priority, she stopped contact multiple times to hurt dad, stopped the passport for holidays, we have both had a mountain of vile abuse from her, but she s selfish and will do anything to please herself - ignoring the child s needs.

Question: How do parents decide who stays home with the kids and who goes to work?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:44 PM PDT

Could one of the ways be one parent might drop down to only being at work a couple days a week so they could be with the kids for the rest? Answers?

Question: My uncle just died and I don't know what to do?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:42 PM PDT

My uncle had been battling leukemia for the last 8 months and he and his family live in the same town as me so I was very involved in the process. I was pretty close with my uncle, but not super super close. I am at college for my freshman year and my dad just called me to tell me he finally passed away. It was pretty expected at this point, but still very sad. I don't really know how I should react because I don't really know anyone here and I fear that I'm not responding in the "right" way (even though I know people say there isn't a right way). I can easily put on a happy face and go about my day, as I have been, but deep inside it's all I've been thinking about. I doubt anyone notices anything off with me - is it bad that I'm not showing signs outwardly? Or that I can just continue on with my day? It's sad to me that death has sort of become "normal" in our everyday lives, but I also can't really wrap my mind around the fact that he is just gone. I'm worried about my mom and my cousins (who are all very young) most. I cried when my dad told me, but I haven't really cried since. I don't know if I should tell my roommate or what, because I feel like I hardly know her at this point. I'll go home for the funeral next week, but I guess I just don't really know how to react. I guess I don't really have a question, I just wanted to get that out and hear some thoughts on it. Thanks. And how should I tell my roommate? I feel like that's awkward to bring up on week 1

Question: What to say to someone who just lost a parent?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:42 PM PDT

My very close friend lost her dad this morning. He was hit by a car and killed. She just called me and said she is walking to my house RIGHT NOW to be with me. What do I say?? I have no experience in comforting those mourning.

Question: Why would you walk around the house naked if you had teenage kids?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:38 PM PDT

Question: My parents won't let me buy tickets to a concert?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 12:27 PM PDT

Here's the thing- my mum keeps saying that she'll get me the concert tickets for twenty one pilots but I always have to remind her and knowing my mum, i know that she won't buy me them also because of the money. Every time i try to explain to her that they're going to sell out very quick she's always like "Oh no they won't, there will always be tickets." But i know they WILL sell out quick and the remaining tickets, if there are any, will be crappy seats. Every time i ask my dad if i can go to a certain concert, he always says "We'll see" - in other words, no. But when i suggest to pay for the tickets myself - to a concert that i'll be going to (i do save enough for concerts) - he says that it's his job to pay for it. But if he won't get me the tickets himself, nor my mom, and I have the money to pay for it, then does it make sense that he doesn't let me pay ??? I'm literally so sick of always reminding them that the concert is going to be soon and the tickets ARE going to sell out. What should i do ?

Question: Is this bad, I sent a text to my father by mistake?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:59 AM PDT

Hi, I sent my Father a text over Watsapp, it said " no its not that, everyone starts fighting and arguing when I am at home, at least here I am free from that". Is that bad? I am a University student who left home to study so he obviously knows that it is in reference to me leaving home.

Question: Father-in-law living with us?

Question: I got in trouble for absolute no reason! I m angry at my mom?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:54 AM PDT

Okay so me and my mom are close but we don t get along a lot. Like bad. I always preferred my dad and my mom is jealous at that. So I was in stop and shop with my mom. She asked for another carriage because the one I got was squeaky. So I asked her, "can you pick up your bag so I can bring this one back?" She hates it when people touch her bag. So she glares at me (remind you I have a pounding headache and sick to my stomach) "no." She says. "Please pick up your bag!" I say a little annoyed, now she screamed at me in the middle of the store. "No!" She yells so I walk away and get a new carriage. Okay I might of pushed it overly hard... She starts lecturing me, i did listen to most but at the end. I made a bitchy face because 1. I didn t know what I was being scolded for and 2. I almost puked because I m sick. So she storms around the store with me in tow. We got in the car and she screamed at me again for being rude, ignorant, selfish, and bitchy. I wanted to start crying because I didn t mean it. All I wanted to do was swap carriages. So while she was lecturing me we almost got in a car accident because she was looking through her bag and I asked her a question. Now she snaps at me again and screams. I m grounded and I m crying and sort of angry at my mom.

Question: Should I forgive my mother?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:44 AM PDT

When I was 7 things started to go down hill.She was leaving me with my now deceased grandmother and staying away for days.I began to crave for my mom attention and affection,but that didn't happen.At the age of 9 she was still doing the same thing staying away.I would write letters to God and leave them in the mailbox and my grandmother would find them and read them.I always thought that somehow God was reading my letters at that age.I finally started living me mom again but we we were in a shelter,but I didn't care as long as I had my mom.One morning I woke up there and couldn't find her and I heard someone say that they needed to call cps on my mom,cps came and took me to my dads and began leaving with him,but he too neglected me emotionally.14 I was acting out in school skipping class,failing grades and all.My mom at the time had been dating a guy and they had a home together.Eveything was good for a bout a year and then he molested me.I told my mom and after all the sh** she put me through she said i was lying.She told me not to go to school and tell no one .I told my counselor anyway and she finally believed me.I find myself blaming her for things that happened to me as a child.From being molested by my dads brother And being teased by my dads girlfriend nieces for not having a mom.I am now 27 years old and I dont talk to her at all and she has no relationship with my 3 kids.should I forgive her? Why should I when she deserted me when I needed her the most?

Question: Why is it such a stigma in this society to not want children?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:29 AM PDT

And it is a stigma....It is also a stigma to be 36 and never married....I get asked at least once a month when I am going to meet someone and when I m going to to have kids. I ve been a loner my entire life, and I have seen what marriage and kids do to people....Altough a small part of me wishes I was in that place in life to experience that, I am not....I just wish the stigma would go away

Question: How Do I Stop Feeling Guilty About My Dad?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:29 AM PDT

This happened last summer. I just turned 19. I did something wrong. When I got back home that evening, my dad began scolding and yelling at me. We had a quarrel and somewhere somehow, I became rude and said some things that I regret. Two days later, I apologized to my dad and he gave me a pep talk. Since then, everything has been fine between us.. just like nothing ever happened. The problem is, I can't stop feeling guilty about that day.. even after a year. This is a man that works so hard to give I and my siblings the best things in life yet I acted in such a silly way. I don't know why I can't forgive myself for my awful behaviour. Maybe it has something to do with the miss goody two-shoes role I've been playing ever since I was born but I can't just forget the shocked look on my dad's face. I cry each time I remember that day. Is this normal? How can I forgive myself and stop this feeling of guilty?

Question: What can she do about an ex boyfriend?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:18 AM PDT

My niece who is 17 almost 18 dated this guy and broke up with him almost a year ago. When we met him he seemed nice. But to her it was all an act. She says he physically and verbal abused her. She is now dating one of his ex friends. He seems like a good guy. Treats her well. The problem is her ex won't let her alone. She has a restraining order on him but he continues to harass and threaten her and her bf. He has told her that he's glad my dad,her grandfather has passed away. I want to literally beat the crap out of this kid myself but he's not worth jail time. She just said now he has a 30 something year old friend harassing and threatening to shoot them both. I told her to print off everything they are saying. Is there anything else she could do to stop this? It's getting ridiculous. She fears for her life. He's called her work,follows her ,and is constantly harassing her online. Please help

Question: What's going on with my stepmom?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:11 AM PDT

I'm a 15 y.o. girl. I recently, at my request, moved to Mississippi to live with my dad and stepmom because my biological mom has drug problems and has been a very inconsistent mom (to say the least). I love her, but my dad and stepmom have always been there for me. and I needed stability. Before I made the decision to move here, my dad and stepmom warned me that they still believed in spanking as a last resort even at my age. I was kind of shocked, but really wanted to move in here, and (since I rarely get in any trouble) wasn't all that concerned. This morning I got in big trouble for something that I, in all fairness, deserved to be in trouble for. But I was still flabbergasted when dad had my stepmom take me out back and bust my behind. She didn't leave any bruises or "hurt" me or anything like that, but she did light me up something good and the pain was/is very intense. I'm just kind of shocked. I know that they love me, I'm NOT looking to turn them in or get them in any trouble (regardless of the answer to this question), but this is so far from my cultural norms that I have to ask, are they even legally allowed to do this? Is it fair at all? I just never really saw this happening at my age, and it all went down so suddenly.... Is this legal? Common? Fair? Typical? I lied about where I was going, and yes it is a 2nd offense (I got grounded the 1st time), and lying is their #1 rule (understandably). I'm usually very honest but I was really stupid this time. The lie was about where Id been. I said I went to a friends house but I really went to a different friend's house to swim alone. I had permission (from the friend) to use the pool, but I knew my stepmom wouldn't let me swim alone and couldn't go with me today, so I went by myself and made up a cover

Question: My 11 year old daughter still wets the bed.?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 11:02 AM PDT

When she was young, her kidneys failed. She had no problems with it before hand, but ever since she has. I've asked doctors for help, but they disregard that fact and say "a lot of children do it." In the day, she has no problems. Please help!

Question: How to pick who I want to live with?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 10:55 AM PDT

I'm almost 14 and my (single) mom passed away in Sept. It has been difficult, but I've had a lot of emotional help and I am doing reasonably well. But I need to make a decision of where to live, and it is really difficult. My dad and I have next to no relationship. He left when I was 2 and we have barely had any contact since. He is offering to take me, but I think it would be really awkward, he's never really been in my life, he is remarried with kids of his own, and he hardly sounds excited about me now, more like he is "willing" because it is the right thing to do. The other option is my aunt, who is married to a wonderful man and has 2 daughters I am very close with. She loves me, wants to adopt me, wants to make me part of the family. And I want that too. But she has also been very clear that if I want to live here, that means her treating me the same as she does them, and her discipline does include spankings......only as a last resort, not common, but they do happen, and she isn't willing to negotiate. And right or wrong she is steadfast on this, and my age does not change her opinion. I've never really been spanked (like maybe once when I was little), I'm a total wimp about pain, and this really scares me. I'm a good kid and rarely in trouble, but I'm not crazy enough to think I'll NEVER get in trouble, especially because she is fairly strict (reasonable, but strict). So it really scares me. But so does living with a "father" I don't really know.... Advice???

Question: Dealing with my dying Dad?

Question: Should I walk away?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 10:39 AM PDT

He called me at 2 in the morning to tell me how his ex was stalking him. He said he had to flag down the police. She threw a drink on him and even ripped up a shirt he left at her place and left it hanging on his front gate. He told me had her blocked on fb and in his phone. While we were lying in bed last night I noticed his phone vibrating and her name popped up. I said, I thought you told me you had her blocked? He looked stunned and said you need to understand that I need to talk to her in order to square the situation away. I called her phone number and handed him the phone. He then got upset and was going to leave my place because I called her. I couldn't understand why he was so upset if he wasn't seeing her anymore. Then she text me her call log showing me that he had called her 4 times before he got to my place. He ended up staying the night. When I got work the next morning she text me saying, "Please keep this door away from my door". What kind of person stalks their so called stalker? How should I feel? What should I do at this point? I told him I knew he had contacted her again...I need advice please!!

Question: Found my parents weed what should I do?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 10:24 AM PDT

Hi I am 16 years old and consider myself a very well behaved kid. I have never drank, smoked or done any drugs before. Both of my parents are protective and always want me to make good choices. Both of them hardly even drink and are always opposed to it. Recently I was walking around my garage and found a backpack that smelled strange. I opened it up to find weed in it. Because I have no siblings there is no doubt this was one of my parents. It was my dads old back pack and had two plastic bags. One bag was labeled "Not go" and they other said "New" on it. Although I am no expert the weed even in the "New" bag looked pretty dry and old. I am still in shock about finding this and feel horrible. It is completely distracting me and have no idea what I should do? I am curious when the last time they smoked was, there was no rolling paper or bong in the bag which seemed strange. I would really appreciate help on what you think about this situation. Do you think I should just move on and act like I never saw it? Or should I confront my parents and how would I go about this without it being supper awkward? They are such clean cut people this seems so unlike them.

Question: Are all mothers very critical of their daughters?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 09:53 AM PDT

It seems since I was a child my mom has been harder on me than my brother. I had good grades, he didn't. Yet I wAs pushed to do more. Fast forward-- my brother chose not to attend college. However he makes a great living, earning triple my salary as an accountant. He's married and his house is emaculatey clean. I'm divorced and my house is sub-par. My mom frequently babysits, and every time she does I am told to clean my house, how to raise my kids, etc. It actually got to the point that I was told I should have predicted my son forgetting his house key. I got so fed up I said look I will find alternate childcare because I can't do this anymore. She apologized and to be frank being a single parent is leaving me strapped so I welcome her help. She's great with my kids, so I hate to have them miss out on grandma time. But I feel I like nothing will ever be good enough for mom. I'm always going to be the black sheep. Is this normal for all Mothers to be overly critical or should I cut her out of babysitting?

Question: Why is my mom so disrespectful?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 09:40 AM PDT

She cleaned up dog **** with my favorite shirt and threw it in the trash. I did nothing to make her do it either, I didn't argue with her or do anything to make her mad.

Question: My mom calls me "fatty" when she's mad at me, is that Child Abuse?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 09:39 AM PDT

She's like "Go clean your room, fatty" and "lose some weight so boys will like you, piggy, don't expect to get a high paying job and be able to support yourself by yourself!" Her abuse hurts me to the point where I can't even cope with life anymore so I have to eat. Is that child abuse?

im 13 and my sister is 21. my sister had her baby last January and she is in the "i don't care how i look since i had a baby stage". every time she goes to the store she dresses in a shirt that goes to her knees and black tights. i don't believe in men. at this age boys are all talk but my sister thought differently. now she raises the baby without the help of her boyfriend (guys are so unreliable). anyways... my sister's self esteem is broken. ever since my sister had her baby she's been making fun of me. she says im hairy (my dad is Cuban so obviously im hairy) i cry in my bedroom because of the stuff she says. shes a grown 21 year old woman and im just a 13 year old child. i told her this hurts me but she makes fun of me and says im too sensitive. my mom said that she's jealous because she thinks im prettier than she is but i think that she is just had a baby and she feels depressed. my mom told me that every time a woman has a baby her self esteem goes down. all i ask is that you help me im really hurt.

Question: Sister in law?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 09:09 AM PDT

Hi there. I'm stuck in a bad situation. My aunt is a manipulative person (Not blood relative). She married my uncle and has somehow gotten my grandma, my uncle, and my cousins to HATE my mom for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON! She makes up lies that are NOT true about anybody that she dosn't like. How do we handle this?

Question: Saving for gaming PC, I have parents that won't allow me to sell A and B. How do I convince them?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 08:23 AM PDT

I'm currently saving up for a gaming PC, i'm on PS4 atm and can't wait to make the switch to PC. I'm planning on spending about £870 - £950. Though I won't be able to reach that amount unless I sell my macbook pro, which I valued it online for about £176, and I have an apple time machine which i've no idea why I got because I don't use it, which could sell for about £50 - £80. Selling these will help me MASSIVELY. First problem is my parents think I need to keep my macbook, even though I won't need it for anything if I got a PC. I don't need the portability, I don't need it for college/work at all but my parents seem to think otherwise. I'm 18, so i'd of thought they'd let me sell/buy whatever I want. Yes, I bought it with my own money. Second problem is the apple time machine, I bought it with my own money, although my dad says I should keep it because he's worried about losing his data on his macbook basically. Trust me, it's completely useless in our house and I regret ever buying it. How do I begin convincing them to allow me to sell? It's extremely annoying.

Question: I feel bad when I talk to my mother?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 08:11 AM PDT

She has a very abusive background. Her parents beat her quite regularly and it effected her school progress drastically. She is very intelligent, but you can tell that the mis-education took toll on her. For example, she pronounced Alzheimer's "Alls-timers" and I felt bad when I had to correct her. I don't want her to feel like her child is smarter than her. I've been slowly trying to make her adopt more sophisticated words into her vocabulary, covertly. How do I correct her without sounding condescending? I was trying to correct her not because I care if she pronounces it wrong, but because I don't want other people to think she is stupid.

Question: How do I get rid of a banshee?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 06:22 AM PDT

Okay it's a very long story but I have reason to believe my family has a banshee, but only on my father's side. Only my brother and I seem to have heard it and it coincided with a death in the family. The problem is that I don't know about my father's side of the family and to be honest I don't care a whole lot about having death heralded for me. There is more evidence to support this idea of a banshee and I don't want to hear from skeptics (because trust me I'm one of them but I've listened to every different native animal's cry trying to find what it could have been to no avail and it still wouldn't explain everything if I did). How do I go about getting rid of it? Alright a banshee is a herald of death who follows a family line and makes themselves known when a death occurs within the family. They can approach in a number of ways. The most well known is screaming. When my biological grandfather died (who I only meant once), she screamed for four nights in a row. When a cousin I didn't know killed himself, she appeared in a nightmare for both me and my brother. There are differing theories, but the main folklore stays the same. Heralds of death.

Question: My family don't want me anymore...?

Question: My brother does disturbing stuff to get my attention.?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 05:37 AM PDT

This includes touching me inappropriately, trying to injure me, trying to expose scars I have, and causing harm to small animals in front of me. The other day, he put a small frog in a bottle and closed the lid, walked up to me and told me that he was trying to watch it suffocate. Later on, he told me the frog jumped in the bottle after he tried to squish it, and it let him close the lid because it couldn t do anything. Everyone that could do something about it knows. They label it off as he loves me that s just what brothers do or he s just a douche . I have a couple questions. First of all, what could be the issue, secondly, what do I do about it? I have zero support at home with this.

Question: What should I do?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 05:09 AM PDT

I'm usually the type of person to often wear black, blue, white, grey (mostly dark colors) to school. My mom hates that and say that I need to stop wearing hot colors everyday. She keep saying that my spirit will go down, but I'm usually a happy person all the time. I can't shop with her or do anything shopping related without an argument. How should I get to her that this is how I like to dress without having an argument about it.

Question: How can I help my sister ?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 04:55 AM PDT

My sister had a bad dream about her best friend. She's been in two plays with him the first play she did with him was her most favorite one he was playing her favorite guy in it she had a huge crush on him but he told her he was gay she was mad at him for a while but she likes him again. The second play he was just helping out at but she got to see him everyday. On the last day of the show he left before she could say goodbye to him. It made her feel bad she wanted to give him a hug. She said he had to go back home for a while she doesn't know where he lives but probably two or three hours away. He said he'll come to her next play but that's about a month or two away. She misses him so much. She wished she told him how she felt about him. She has to get up to go into town she doesn't want to she doesn't feel like it. It's only gonna be an hour. She feels really sad because of the dream she had about him. She said her stomach is hurting she feels like she's gonna cry. She really doesn't want to wait another month or two to see him. How can I help her feel better ?

Question: How do I calm myself down when I am with my mother and her mother?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 04:47 AM PDT

My mother makes me nervous because she is terrified of her mother being displeased by her. I am not sure why as her mother is very nice (my grandmother) and I don't know why my mother fears displeasing her. It goes beyond being a loyal and good daughter and is to the point of obsession. She fights my step-father and gets mad if he ever tries to do anything with his family on a holiday as she insists holidays are hers and for her family only. She drops everything if her mother asks for something and when I was little medicated me with Ritalin (I was prescribed) for parties at my maternal grandmothers because she fears my grandmother being displeased by my hyperactivity (she I am sure would not have been). When my parents were married my Dad used to want to travel to the mts of the Western USA and my mother would insist no because her mother asked us to the beach. My parents divorced for other reasons but I am sure this didn't help. So how do I calm myself down? This is weird and it has gotten worse now that my grandfather has died and my mother is living next door to my grandmother and helping her daily as my grandmother is more needy. The holiday thing is especially weird of not letting my step-father share holidays with her like Christmas Eve with his family and Christmas Day with hers (she insists her mother needs them both days). Last year my step-father didn't even get to see his family for Christmas until a week later.

Question: Question about family alcoholism and a kid being around it. Question below?

Posted: 08 Sep 2016 04:46 AM PDT

My mother wouldn't let me see my father as a kid because he had alcoholism, when he got help I got close to him. I was 14 at this point and remain close to this day )I am 44 now). Curious what the risk would have been for me to see him as a kid. I feel if I have a kid I would NOT alienate them from their parent over alcoholism as that would be penalizing the kid for the parent's flaw. I would make sure the kid is supervised by a non-alcoholic but not sure, what is the risk of a kid seeing an alcoholic supervised? My mother was always mad at my father and divorced him (she has forgiven him now) and I wonder if that played a role. So not that I have anything against my mother at all but was thinking of it as my sister has an alcoholic mother-in-law and was debating traveling this past summer with her kids and in-laws and decided to and said it went fine for the most part. So what would be the threat in me seeing my Dad as a kid when he was an alcoholic or does this sound more like my mother was just angry at my Dad and using me to get back at him as he had mistreated her? Again I forgive my mother so not trying to get her back was just thinking of it. My father was NOT violent so of course this does not count violent alcoholics where there would be a risk. My father was just a complainer when drunk and would get grouchy but never violent.

Question: Is it ok to try and move out of your parents house at 21?

I am 20 and almost a third but I want to move out of my parents house by the time I turn 21 or 20 and a half. Is it ok? Living with my parents is the only way that I can have a chance.
