I'm a good kid 3.8 gpa in running startat college while in high school and having trouble i go to therapy and theguy says im fine but he says she should change some of her ways, and she wont 3 therapists have said this she makes my life a living hell and I'm waiting till im 18 to get out and cut her out of my life she never listens to how i feel or anything and she is causing my depression being in college already and getting a job that can make $19 an hour she doesn't believe ill make it or when i say shes pushing me towards cutting her out of my life she takes my fathers social security and i never see any bit of it and she doesn't save any for a college fund for me i just cannot take her anymore!

My older sister (only by two years) literally gets it all. She's been to Italy and Spain, twice, and she's also going to a lot of concerts... yet I've never been to a concert. Or out of the country. Hopefully I can convince my parents to let me go to the class trip to Italy next year... Anyway. My parents don't pay attention to me at all. All they do is watch TV and pay attention to my sister, and this has caused me to develop a habit of making noise to get their attention even though I don't notice myself doing it. Of course, this just makes them tell me to shut the hell up and it just makes me feel even more dejected from the family. Whenever they do happen to pay attention to me, it's nearly always negative. They're either shouting at me for something I didn't do, or insulting me because I do something wrong. I can't help being clumsy sometimes but my parents always think that I drop a spoon purposefully and I end up getting yelled at and insulted for it. Meanwhile my sister gets a papercut and they're all panicking because they don't want it to get infected. My parents always treat her and say "oh she's doing her GCSE courses so she deserves it" but I am too and I'm getting better grades then her, yet she's the one being treated. It's making me feel rather rejected and I never feel like doing well in school anymore because I just don't see the point anymore... ... help? please? I think I'm depressed...

I'm a female in my mid-20's and they are a boy and girl, 12 and 13 years old. Last time I was around, they were quite disrespectful towards me and acted like entitled children. Trust me, without an ounce of contempt, I can honestly tell you it's from being poorly raised. I've had a falling out with my mother and other brother (still lives at home w/ two kids) who is a year younger than me, and I'm not interested in ever being around or talking to them. I feel like I should stay away, because the younger ones still have to be raised by my mother, who has a strong influence over them. I'm 100 percent sure my other brother and mother speaks ill of me to them. Also, my mother is just emotionally immature, she's the type to tell them that I'm just being nice out of spite for her (that's not even who I am as a person). I haven't always had the closest relationship with them, with our age difference and me just working on my life and going away to college and such. Even now my sister ignores my text half the time, and doesn't even bother to save my number. I'm thinking of just waiting until they're older, like 15-16 to try to get involved in their lives. me? I'm the first in my family to go to college. My mother had me young and just never respected me for ME, though she got respect in return. I was never interested in continuing the cycle of poverty, ignorance and struggle - I wanted to break the cycle. There was never support from her, just discouragement and my other brother was just always on the sideline with something hateful and jealous to say about my choices in life. My mother was always to first to brag, though, about the accomplishments she didn't help me achieve. I had to cut them loose for my own growth, I must keep love and positivity around me. Also, not only, should I fix the relationship? But if so, how?

I'll try to keep this short, but Basically I know this lady (friends on Facebook also) and she has all these daughters (the youngest is my age) and they are just such a loving accepting family and they are all like best friends. Her and her husband have built this beautiful life together and have a bunch of adorable grandkids. I feel like I was like meant to be born into their family instead of mine (like as weird as that sounds). I have been raised in a verbally abusive, tumultuous dysfunctional broken family, because my mom and sister are addicts (alcoholic and herion user) and I just feel so sad seeing this pics this lady posts on Facebook, raving about how much she loves her daughters and grandchildren. I feel like I should've been her daughter, but AT LEAST I wish I was closer to their family like they would kind of take me in as a close family friend or something. But I feel like a weirdo and completely pathetic for feeling this way and wouldn't even know how to go about being close to them.... Idk what to do with these feelings...am I like totally pathetic and crazy?

I need to write a paper about my family of origin but I have no idea how to start it. The guideline things suggests to talk about the roles played in the family, but I have no idea what that is. Do I have to state everyone in my family? Do I need to include my sister-in-law and niece even though they aren't my immediate family. Any other things that would be good to put in it?

I'm 16 years old, I'm generally a pretty nice and responsible student, at home I've been somewhat babied a lot because I'm the youngest, all my siblings are old enough that they have all finished college so I'm the only child at home and have been for awhile, I get better grades than all my siblings did in high school and I'm much, much more mature than they were. My boyfriend and I have been together for 11 months, almost a year and have been sexually active. I told my mom about a month or two ago, and the absolute only thing it has done is give me so much stress, I've had a lot of problems with my mom since I told her and wanted me to start going to church even though I'm atheist, and now she doesn't even trust me to be alone with my boyfriend even at football games. The way she acts with me and the new problems she continues to have with me make it seem like she just thinks lowly of me now, I used to be pretty much the star child and now she has no trust in me. Do I diserve that?

I have not stayed at home in over four months, I go over there sometimes, yet she always has attitudes towards me. My dad will start snapping and you don't even have to do anything. I feel hated and I don't know what to do. I stay with my grandma because my parents are so disrespectful. Why do parents always have to be so hateful? I asked my mom to hang out, just her and I so we could bond and I got screamed at. I told my dad I liked the bed he built and I hoped someday I could have one as pretty and he cussed me out. Why do they do things like this?

My son is 4 months old, and everyone seems to want to babysit him. Which is nice that so many people love him so much, but when I tell them I'm not ready to be away from him, they just look at me like I am a smothering mom. And they all take it personally, like I don't want to leave my son with THEM. My husband and I adopted my son at birth. We had been trying for 5 years with no luck, and finally this amazing chance to adopt came up, and I feel so blessed! And I have known people who actually gave birth, and they needed help because of their recovery, and.. they just pushed a huge baby out! But since I went through none of that, I have all of the energy in the world to give. We have friends and some family who constantly, try to watch him. But I just have no desire to do so. I have absolutely NO desire to leave him. And no one seems to respect that. I don't mind leaving him with my husband for HOURS, but with someone else, it just doesn't feel right yet. And people act like I have something better to do, than to be with my son, so I should let them watch him. But they do not listen. They take it personally, and just act snobby when I them no. They say "Well don't you want to go on a date with your husband?" And I say yes, but with our son. And it's always "That's not really a date." As if my son coming to dinner with us is a burden. I just hate the negative attitudes people give. Why can't people just RESPECT my decision, and the way I feel? And our friend is trying to make plans that are about 3 months away, and they have this family member, and they are saying "oh, my (aunt? cousin? niece? someone.) can watch him while we all go out! And I told them I am not ready to let anyone watch her. And their response is "Well he is going to be 7 months! You're going to be ready by then!" But they are like annoyed... but who else, but me, has the right to say when I will be ready? ^^ I then told them, that I have never met this person (that they volunteering to watch my son) and that I will not leave him with a stranger. And they get offended, and say how they are their family, and not a stranger. But they are a stranger to me, and to my son. And they try to convince me that she is the best with kids, and I still say no, and that I have to know someone before I leave my son with them, especially to go out. And they are upset that I don't trust this person that I never met

There's this ***** in my trig class who's got everything better than me. She's a tan blonde, she probably gets better grades than me, and she socializes and today I saw her buying food I can't have. Meanwhile, my family is ****** up, I have a hard time with friends, and I'm an inferior pale skinned moron who gets D's on her tests. Today I knocked over my salad into my lap. I went into the bathroom and beat myself. Washed it of. Then I saw her in the student store buying candy!! I can't have it becuase apparently I grow mold in my system from sugar becuase o tool antibiotics before for Lyme disease. I WOSH SHE WAS DEAD!!! I just hope she dies a slow painful death like cancer. WHY DOES SHE HAVE IT SO EASY!!! How do I deal with the rage!!!???

I am only 3 years younger than my cousin. He has never listened to me, not even once. He didn't listen to me when he was 13 to 19(basically all of his teens) and he still doesn't listen to me now that he is 20. I have been encouraging and telling him to lose weight since he was 13, which has been for 7 years. He has been weighing 56kg and been 5 foot 7 since he was 13 and he's 20. A person that is 5 foot 7 tall should not weigh more than 49kg. Why is my cousin so dumb?

Hello, I have a high quality photo printer next to my microwave. Living in a major city where living quarters are always most like cramped, I have literally no where else to put it where it's accessible. I'm just a little worried about its proximity to my microwave (since my kitchen doubles as my office), which is about an inch away from it. (side by side) Thanks.

She always shouts at me, critisises me for everything, laughs at me when I get hurt, ignores me, doesnt care about my anxiety or school issues and just treats me worse than my other brothers and sisters... Please help Thanks so much for the advice and help :)

When she will post on facebook she posts a lot and if she uploads a video or something like that if she doesn't get any likes or comments she will share it later, or if there is any people around she always haves to end up talking. When we are with my brother I give her the less attention so of course she tries to ignores me I just had one question she was going to ignore me but answered but when my brother does she responds right away. She was never married or doesn't have a boyfriend but says she doesn't want one but what would she do if me and my brother both move and are busy? She works from home so is home all day.

I'm a guy age 18 and I have a 3 month old daughter with my wife and I'm doing quite well for a freshman in college. My aunts son molested me when I was a little boy. We were asleep on the floor and I felt something below the belt. He had my you know what in his mouth doing you know what. I really don't feel like going any farther into detail but when he was done he said "Alright, pull your pants up." Freaking weird man! I told my grandma and mom this but besides them my uncle and oldest cousin no one believed me. And truthfully I don't feel loved by my aunt. She's already displayed that. That's another story though. She talks about me so damn bad man but i I've NEVER brought up that her son molested me. For some reason I was attached to him growing up. I never held it against him. Never. I love my cousin but he was too old to say he was only a kid. That was wrong man! And gay as hell! Not that I'm an 'adult' I actually see how messed up that really was. I remember when I was 14 like it was yesterday. Only 4 years ago. Dude. There's no way in hell I would do something like that. My aunt says a lot of mean sh** to me but the thought of her son doing that to me never came across my mind. *sigh*. I'm about to go pop some pills and get high...

I'm highly irritated I live with my grandmother this is my last year before I go to college. She is sensitive to smells which triggers her asthma. She has been claiming me to "sprays" that I don't put on that makes her have breathing problems. Now y'all may be thinking OMG don't hurt her! No I'm not tying to I would never. But she's dramatic as hell . Y'all don't know her but she complains about everything she is just freaking annoying. I'm so tired yo . Please tell me what to do because I don't spray anything .

Long story short, my dad started yelling at me and I started arguing back. He told me Im not allowed to have an opinion and walked over and hit me across the face. He held me down on the couch as he continued to yell at me (while my mother and grandmother sat in the other room watching and doing nothing). After a few minutes he let me up. I tried to walk out of the room and go up stairs but he blocked me. He then let me through and followed me up the stairs, continually getting in my face and yelling. I was terrified he was going to hit me again but he didn t. I m 20, female, and things clearly got way out of hand. I live with them because i m going to school. We just moved to a new state and I have no family around me, but I cant stay here. I have no money for a bus ticket and I had to sell my car when we moved. I m scared and I don t know where to go or what to do. Please, I need someones help.

I am a stay at home mother who takes care of my 14 month old baby. I come from a family that was dysfunctional and do not wish that kind of living situation to be a part of my child's upbringing. My significant others mother is a doting grandma who is constantly talking about her grandchild understandably. My problem with her is her everyday heavy drinking. She tries to make me feel bad because she has not been able to babysit. She promises to never drink while taking care of him. So far she isn't able to not drink while i am there. This fourth of July she had a party and had some jello shots. As I come back with a plate to eat there is my poor son with a lid to a jello shot tasting the contents. She also likes to drink and drive and for her birthday she got a car seat, so if she gets to watch the baby she can take him places. I can't say how bad my maternal instincts are telling me to never let her watch him that the only way for her and my child to have a relationship is to come over and supervise her while she is enjoying some time with him. Her husband is an alcoholic and so is the baby's father. He is on the fence with all this. I am expecting again and I want to make it CLEAR that i don't like any of this crap around my baby. I have talked over and over to her about my worries and basically all she ends up saying is I won't keep her from her Grandchild. Please tell me if I am right to be concerned. I need feed back to know If I right being concerned about this.

so i started my first day. my dad asked how it was. i answered honestly, about my stupid chem teacher who needed to rush through our lesson for some reason. we did like 3 topics and he would devote like 2 minutes to explaining and then give us an assessment on it. then abuse us if we did it badly because HE DIDNT EXPLAIN. add a really hot classroom with all windows open so traffic noise, his stupid accent and a blurry board and no one knew wtf was going on. but that didnt mean i wanted my dad to complain!!! i was just gonna study the work at the weekend and see if youtube and google would help. but he had to call my school and complain. even said he wants my class changed because the teachers accent is too heavy and said he shouldnt be teaching if kids cant understand him. he named me, for the class change so now this teacher is gonna know it was me who talked about him. and now my dad is all like, you should have gone to the school he wanted me to. this is why i never tell him anything! the one time i toad him, he did this. hes so annoying. i want him arrested, hes ruining my time at school already.

I have anxiety and that leads to me getting stressed and irritated more easily than others, a lot of the times I feel like my mum just makes it worse for me. I cry everyday because of the things she does- sorry but I can't help but cry when I get stressed, annoyed, worried, etc. So firstly, my mum just doesnt listen, I say something and she won't listen to me then ask me a question that I answered like 5 times and when I tell her the answer for the last time she gets super angry with me and starts shouting at me. It also makes me angry when I talk about my serious problems like school bullying and anxiety and she doesnt care at all, in fact, she makes it worse by blaming me on it. There are many more problems with her like her overeacting, blaming me for everything, not caring about the way I'm being treated (physically hurt) by my siblings and dont letting me do anything I want (like going out swimming once a week like I used to) also she always ignores me. Sorry I'm ranting but the last and most worst problem for me out of many is the facts that she criticises me for every little thing I do. It makes me cry a lot of the times with the bad things she says but I hide from her so she doesnt know that im sad. I slept for about 4 hours in the morning once because when I'm sad I can't help it but when I woke up to get some food, she laughed at me and told my dad how stupid I was. She acts like a little kid starting arguments all the time! She clearly prefers my siblings too... When I was younger things where so much better and my family were happy together, now we have all fallen apart and it makes me sad everyday. My mum shouts at me so much, I haven't heard her say anything nice/normal in ages. I've been ingorning her for weeks because I have no other option, when I stand up to her she just laughs/shouts at me. Please help me. I'd really appreciate it. I have no choice sometimes... I can't ignore her like when I needed her to sign a letter for school. Please help :( Sorry its sooooo long, needed to get it all off my chest

Uhm, hello! I'm not sure if telling my age is related to the topic at hand, but I'm thritheen. Recently, as of this morning, my dad (mom and dad are split apart), dropped me off this morning. As soon as I walk in my moms house, I have a 'stepfather' who had a look of 'I'm tired of this.' It seem off when, even when I said hello. My mom was happy and everything, so I have no clue what caused this next. It was around 7:28 am, today, where my stepfather goes off to work. But, I heard their voices, but it didn't seem loud, just, in between. He called her a name of 'junkie', and I just don't know anymore. I typed this all before on the IPod I have, but there was a limit, and I can't edit anything either. I just want to make sure she is safe, and she doesn't get hurt again as there was other violent encounters. And yes, I called the police as my mom told me to do so, but he told me to put it down. I just, don't know. I know asking a bunch of strangers is not going to help, and I can't call my dad cause that will start a whole new problem with my mom. I can't live with him either as that will start a bad issue as well! What do I do? I know there will be a problem if he comes home, and I can't think of anything. I can't ignore the yelling, or the violence. Heck, I'm willing to protect her. Just help me, please?

Okay I recently graduated from high school in May. I'm working right now and Going to college. I also have a kid. I'm very responsible but my family still be bashing me putting me down. My family are black. My mom yell so much over little things. I don't go out because I have a kid. I'll say I go out once every 2 months. I'll pay my 17 year old sister to watch her but my mom always try to jail me up in the house. Yeah I know I'm 18 but what can I do?

Well i really want to go to a show for the dolan twins and my mum said maybe and my dads out of the country rn but he ll come back by the time its the show and ik he ll say no. He is so strict its unbelievable. Its also going to be at like 7pm and curfew is 11pm? I need an excuse to why I am going out so late when im 13. Basically need something to say like its a party or something? please help

They like the same boy and argue over who gets him. How to stop this.

I got a call from the school that there was a problem with my daughter. When I got there they told me she had hit a boy on his hand with a ruler when he tried to put his hand in her pants. It had caused a big bruise. She then told him that if he tried that again, she would kick him in the balls. The principal (a guy) thought she deserved some punishment. I told him what she did was appropriate and she did not deserve some punishment. He said he disagreed. Mothers or teenage girls, what do you think of what my daughter did? Was it appropriate? Teenage girls, what would you have done in this situation?

So my dad is retired but still does jobs in handyman, he was a cook before and my mom says I can't tell anyone who ask that he's still working. I hate lying as it makes me nervous and might not be able to hold up. And I just don't like lying, my mom told me I should of said I was my dad in the case of a lost card but couldn't do it.

Yeah, I know I m ugly as f***, and I still can t accept that, but my mom constantly talks about me, if there is something ugly on TV she I ll like announce something "Funny" about how I resemble that, I have told her multiple times to stop, but she just doesn t know when to stop as if she s a child, I ve cried out to her but she says "Well, you ve just gotta deal with it" she barley says "I love you", I know she takes pills to not keep her calm, because she goes insane without it, is it just me being butt hurt, or is she a actual b***"? Is everyone like this?.

I am a 24 year old successful gay man. I have graduated college and found a very good job. I live on my own and I support myself. Since I can basically remember my dad has kept his distance from me. He never seemed to like me. I never knew why till I got older and realized how gays were looked at in society. I understand that he just can't accept it. Due to the time period he was brought up in. He's a mans man who hunts and fishes and loves football and racing all of which I hate. We have nothing in common not even our looks. When I was younger he was a good dad but once my parents realized that most likely I was going to be gay due to my love for dolls and high heels haha, he wanted to do something about it, he wanted to put me in therapy to "fix" me. So naturally my mom kicked him out. A few months later they were back together but my dad was never there again. I have a wonderful mother who has tried her best to balance two men who cannot get along and she was both my mom and dad growing up. My dad is a good man to everyone else he just is not good to me I don't know what to do about it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do not do anything except lay in my bedroom all day, all night, all the time... I get so lonely and cry so much. I think so much about my nana and papa who died. They raised me and they are the only two who had anything to do with me as a minor. When I began living with my parents they didn't seem to care about me. I have been here for a long time now. I just recently heard my dad telling someone I am an idiot and could not make it in college. He does not even care that I have published so many novels. He never pays attention to my life. I want to see people who care about me, but I don't know who cares because I never go around anyone. I have 13 aunts, 7 uncles and most of them are married with children. I also have a grandma and grandpa whom lives somewhere around here. I'm tired of living this life and I need advice. Please help me. Any advice will be useful. Thanks ahead of time.

my sister in law turned 17 2 months ago she has attempted to kill herself more than once because of the problems that occur with her family and home life

I worked hard. Have a job and no children.Greater percentage of my salary deducted for taxes. Pay for my student loan, insurance, etc. And my friend didnt get a college degree and she is not working. Mother of six.. not even thirty years old. Drive a nice car wear expensive clothes own an iphone. I am not jealous or mad at her. I cannot even afford a vacation. Your thoughts.

I m 18 and my parents have been married for 30+ years, but ever since I was a toddler, all o can remember is them arguing constantly and berating each other, sometimes taking out their anger on my and my older brother (verbally). They would fight very heatedly and more than once had they thrown/broken something. I know for a fact they re very unhappy, especially my mom because she talked to me a lot about it since I was young. A lot of stuff has happened and I ve been thinking about wanting my parents to divorce for a long time because they re fights and unhappiness has taken a toll on me and my brother for just as long, and it s made it hard for us to go to them for any problems we had growing up. I ve taken consideration into telling my mom since if they divorce I don t know what will happen to her since she doesn t speak English very well and she has no family here, but I ve suggested her to file for divorce because I really think, seeing how unhappy they ve both been and the toll it s taken on me and my brother, that it s for everyone s best interest to do it. But she said no for various reasons. I don t know what to do, because I m trying to move out because it s really hard living at home, but even if I move out, I m worried for them both being stuck alone in this house together. This whole situation with their relationship has been stressing me out significantly for a very long time and I m desperate for something to change. Any help is appreciated, sorry this was long

I was on my way to an important meeting when my car broke down on the freeway. The auto club told me it would be 2 hours before they could get to me. By then I would have missed my meeting. I was in a panic so I did something I normally would not do. I called my ex husband for help. He immediately came and picked me up and took me to my meeting. He picked me up after the meetings and took me to the garage to get my car. I was very thankful as I got the biggest order of my career at the meeting. My ex would not take any money for his help. He just said "I don't take money for helping my friends". When I told my friends about this they told me what a great guy my ex was for what he did and they he still had feelings for me. They said that he was a great looking guy and they wanted to know if I minded it they dated him. That got me thinking. I am older and much wiser now than when we were married. I think getting a divorce was a BIG mistake. Can someone give me some advice on what I should do to get back together with my ex. Do you think I have a chance? THANKS.

My wife Mary's hairdresser moved out of state so she asked her friends for recommendations for a new one. Several of them suggested Joan at the XXX salon. My wife tried Joan and instantly liked her and her work. She liked her work so much that she recommended Joan to several of her friends and they started going to Joan also. She has been going to Joan for over 16 months now and every time she comes home from the hairdresser her hair looks great. Gals, do you think it would cause a problem if I told her Joan is my ex wife? Joan is now using her maiden name so we do not share a last name. I had not kept up with where my ex wife worked so I did not know she was at XXX salon. The only way I found out was my wife was giving her a birthday present and I say her name on the present my wife was giving her. Joan must have known Mary was my wife because we share a last name so she may have told her. If so, my wife never said anything to me about it. Mary has known that I have an ex wife since before we were married. Gals if you were my wife tell me what the right thing to do is. Should I find out if my wife knows and tell her if she does not or just forget about his and let my wife be happy with her hairdresser.

I got an email from my ex wife asking me not to be so nice to her mom. I thought that was odd to ask someone not to be nice. I sent her an email asking "why". Her reply was "Every time I see my mom she tells me all the nice things you have done for her. I want to move on with my life but it is hard when mom keeps telling me all the great things you keep doing for her." I have done a lot of nice things for her mom and her mom has done a lot of nice things for me. We are good friends. For example I have taken her mom to Ruth Chris for dinner a few times and her mom has cooked me a great home cooked meal that was to die for. I think I am going to tell my ex wife that her mom is my good friend and I will continue to do nice things for her. If she does not want her mom to tell her about what we do, she should ask her mom not to tell here the things we do for each other. Does that seem like a reasonable response to her request?

My cousin is 20 and his parents like to tell people he is 40 just so they think he is older so they can shame him for not having his own house yet(yes house NOT apartmenr or condo) his parents get mad he doesn't own his own house yet his parents are 53 and claim when they were his age they could afford their own house right after high school and they get mad he is 2 years past HS without his own house yet. He only makes $275 a week which further angers them, he never spends money or goes out with friends so it isn't like he wastes it. I am 3 years younger than him and have been hearing my aunt and uncle telling others he is older than he is for 10 years. Is this normal or not?

Sorry for the long post here. He has been acting really strange lately, and it s putting me on edge. I am 8 months pregnant with our first, so I don t have a job.( I don t think this is the problem because we planned the baby.) We just moved in together about 6 months ago and he proposed last month.( I don t feel like any of this is the problem because he s expressed that hes wanted to propose for a year.) Then last week he quit his job before even finding a new one! Now he almost refuses to look for a new one. I m scared to even have a baby now. I don t know how to make him get a job and be a supportive dad. He just keeps saying he s stressed. Then the weirdest part; two days ago we came to his parents house and ended up spending the night when we were just coming to visit. Then the next day when we were supposed to go home he wanted to stay again. He asked me to go home! He said he was going to work with his brother the next day! This already seemed weird but I wasn t going to beg to stay with him at his parents. But of course when I was going to leave I started having car trouble. His dad invited me to stay again while he works on the car, so I did since I didn t have a choice. It is now the morning when my fiancé was supposed to go to work with his brother, and he s still here sleeping, which tells me that it was in fact a lie. I just don t understand what s happening to us. I m trying to be supportive but I feel like he doesn t want to be with me.

BY THEM I mean the extended family. I am terrified the extended family will not include me while they are at odds with my parents even though I am an adult. Not that they will be personally mad at me but just that they will overlook me. This happened when I was a kid and my parents were the outsiders of the family. Now something is happening again and even though I am an adult living on my own I fear becoming an outsider myself due to my parents doing something that will anger my mother's siblings (it involves a real estate thing at my late maternal grandmother's house). I am neutral on the issue but I just wish my parents would go along with the other two siblings. I am very worried I will miss out on time with cousins and extended family like I did for 6 years as a kid when my parents were the outsiders because of my mother's reaction to some stuff. What do I do? Extended family means a lot to me because I don't have friends due to some learning disability stuff I have and anxiety. I ASKED EARLIER TODAY BUT ONLY GOT ONE ANSWER

Okay so I was eating breakfast and my sister was leaving and she came and tried to kiss my cheek. I moved away because people kissing my cheek makes me feel very uncomfortable. My mom got ma at me and said I have an "attitude" and the whole family is gonna ignore me till I fix it. She said that I can't not feel emotion like that. It's fine if she kisses me on the head but I just hate kisses on the face. Should I apologize? Oh and I always tell her I don't like it but she insists on doing it.

I ve had a few issues with my in-laws. It is to the point that they do not see my children anymore. My husband s parents have custody of theirs 2 grand kids. I found out my 6th grader is in the same class as those 2 kids and knowing my husband s family I know they are going to use that to visit the school and classroom to see my child. Is there anyway without court or moving my child to a different class that I can be suscceful in a request to be notified if these people voulenteer or visit the school?

It's not her birthday or anything but she has been through a lot and so much has been going on lately in the family, but she has been so strong and always helps everyone before herself. She's always been there for me and I want to thank her somehow or do something nice for her. I just recently moved across the country so I'm having a harder time coming up with something. I just want her to know how grateful I am of her and how amazing she is! I don't want to just send flowers, I want something special. Any ideas would help, thank you :)

My parents are divorced and I live with my dad. The reason I live with my dad is because my mom did my family wrong when they were together. My mom is moving and I want to live with her. I'm 14 so I could tell someone and my mom could take my dad to court. When I told my grandma I wanted to move with my mom she told me to never ask her or my grandpa for anything else ever again because they are cutting me off. I don't like living with my dad because he calls me names, tells me i'm selfish, i'm a brat, he's called me a *****, he has threatened to hurt me before, called me worthless and makes fun of me because I have bad acne. I don't like living there and want to move with my mom. I really don't know what to do because if my mom does decide to take my dad to court then my dad will fight it and probably get custody of me. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

First his uncle's wife passed away from idk what. Then a few days later his dad passed from suicide (he's the one to find him ) then 2 weeks later his mom's mom passed in her sleep. Now after finding out his dad's mom has cancer (multiple mylomea) she just passed last night. I know everything happens for a reason but WHY ? 4 deaths back to back? Its a lot to take in.

Currently I live at my parents house I have a well paying full time steady job. My hours are 9pm to 7am Sunday to Thursday. I'm most likely going to take classes in the evening before work I know I won't be able to take that many as I'll be living alone so I'll need time to do other stuff too. Classes start January my plan is to be out of my parents house by then. I just want to hear other people's experiences who have actually done this. Don't give me any suggestions to stay at home because that's not an option for me anymore. I need my own space I've been sharing a small room with my brother my whole life I'm 22 now and that **** gets old.

Forced marriage is never legal.

I need $2000 to bail him out, but I only have 38 cents. What now?

Ok, so about three months ago my aunt moved in with my two cousins. She is basically using my mom (and she handled that). However, the oldest out of the two has some type of issue(s) with me. He calls me fat, ugly, stupid, and basically degrades me. I know that I'm not necessarily fat ut I'm rather shaped differently compared to the rest of my cousins. I have a bigger butt and boobs than them and I'm tall so it evens everything out. I'm 15 years old and as a female, calling someone ugly is a terrible thing to do because I already have enough insecurities as it is. I'm honestly done with him bullying and I've told my other family members that I trust the most but they haven't done anything. Please help me. What do you think I have been trying to do?? I have tried telling him to STFU he won't leave me alone. It's not as easy as you think.

My cousins is 20 and his parents like to tell people he is really 40 when he's not. They get mad/ticked that he only makes $275 a week, they tell people he is 40 so they look down on him for not owning his own house yet(yes house, not apartment or condo) I'm 3 years younger and hear them say this about him to my aunt and uncles friends. Is this normal? This started 10 years ago, his parents would always tell people he was older than his real age.

It hurts the most at the holidays and birthdays especially when my mother signed me up for programs for people with no fathers He has a family of his own so it is something about me, it is not that he doesn't want kids as he has 3 kids he sees based on his Facebook page (he blocked me when I tried to add him as a friend)
