Question: My father betrayed our family by committing suicide. How do I get over my anger and hate at what he did?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 01:57 PM PST

He betrayed us by committing the ultimate selfish act. Sometimes I hope he is in hell and other times I miss him. I urinated on his urn I was so mad one day (seriously) and then cleaned it up so my mother wouldn't discover. I am 16 now and was 13 when he murdered himself.

Question: Is this the worst cartoon ever ?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 01:54 PM PST

I have watch Dora The Explorer when I babysit my friends daughter. I'm watching it right now I think it's as annoying as hell. I never watched Dora when I was a kid I saw one episode I thought it was awful. Shes always screaming she doesn't talk she screams. That stupid monkey and map won't shut up. The monkey is always yelling what are we gonna do every 10 minutes. The map screams I'm the map for 100 minutes. At least the backpack is the only one smart enough no to whine or scream but still says backpack over and over which gets annoying. Also speaking of backpack how did Dora get all that **** in there she has everything from doors to tvs. If they ever show an elevator on there i'd loose it. That arrow pops up on there thinking it's the ****. The fox is always stalking her. The bull acts retarded. The green thing is always crying and bitching about her flowers. She must be blind and deaf. I watched a episode not long ago where she was asking something then she said I can't hear you wtf. Everything on there from mountains to trains can talk and have eyes. That's creepy. The monkey has a panic attack every 5 minutes. Also why do her parents let her skip school to go exploring. They have only 2 or 3 episodes where she's in school. Also her parents dont give a crap where she is. I never even watched this with my sister I don't think she ever even watched it. I only watch it to make fun of it. Isn't this the stupidest show ever ?

Question: When my mother is with her parents she acts like a different person then when she is with us. Why is this?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 01:48 PM PST

Like when I was a kid she let us relax in the summer except the two weeks we were with her parents. During those two weeks she kept us on a strict schedule and had reading hour and had us practice our writing. None of which we had to do at home. I was ADHD and my mother was pretty patient when I would say things that made no sense. When we were with her parents though she got angry when I did this. Lastly, we'd go see her parents at Easter for spring break and she would discuss our summer schooling plans and then come summer we never had to get schooled (thank God). So why is it that a mother would be one person away from her parents and another person when with them? Her parents are nice so they aren't mean monsters to fear. However when she was a kid her mother was gentle but her father apparently had a short fuse and used a belt to discipline.

Question: Family will not stay out of my private life?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 01:44 PM PST

My family will *not* stay out of my private life. I am in my 20s. I find the entire situation ridiculous. I am plenty old enough to handle a relationship. Just today, my grandma sent me an email lecturing me about my boyfriend and my future. She knows nothing and I mean absolutely nothing about him. I am so happy with my boyfriend, but my family will not leave me the hell alone. What can I do? I still live at home by the way. Until I move out in a few months, what can I do? I cannot take this anymore. I feel that they are trying to destroy my relationship with him. My mom is paranoid. She keeps trying to read the texts between him and I, which I find odd. I have no idea what to do.

Question: I REALLY don t want to go to summer camp and my parents are making me?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 12:54 PM PST

I m 15 and what you d call a "homebody," which basically means I don t like being away from home/family for a long time. I ve been to this camp twice for the last two summers and it s an okay camp. They have some fun things to do, but there s NO freedom. All you do is follow around a counsellor all day that treat you like 5 year olds. Also, it s a VERY Christian camp, which I m fine with. The problem with this is that we have 2-3, hour and a half long "services" A DAY. I HATE IT. We just SIT THERE ON THE FLOOR FOR HOURS. Another thing I don t like is that we can t take our phones or even call home to talk to family. i would probably be fine going if this wasn t a rule. I understand not letting us take phones and whatnot but not even letting us call home? Come on. I feel like if I asked my parents to not go, they would get angry or say no because I don t like summer camp in general. Any ideas?

Question: What's wrong with my sister ?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 12:09 PM PST

My sister has been sick for the past months since Christmas. She keeps getting chilled and running fevers. It wasn't bad in January but since the beginning of this month it started again. She has asthma and bad heart problems she doesnt do well in winter but she never had these problems. Shes been to the doctor twice. She was tested for the flu it came back negative. She went to the family doctor they did an ex ray they didn't find anything. She gets chilled every afternoon when the house always stays at 70. Around 1 or 2 she starts getting tired she lays down and takes a 2 hour nap. Her fevers break at night she gets up every night feeling sweaty. Shes not pregnant or on her period. I'm really worried about her. She's never done this in her life. Shes usually always hungry but she hasnt had much of an appetite shes been more thursty than hungry. The only thing shes been really wanting to eat is ice cream. I'm really worried about her. She's only 24. What's wrong with her ? How can I help her ?

Question: Help me stop a divorce?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 11:57 AM PST

My mom wants to take care of an old family member, who s own children wont. She works 24/7 every week. And my dad is retired. My dad doesn t want to take care of her, and honestly neither do I. On top of this I would have to give up my room, and my parents would be working nonstop everyday. My mom feels like the family is depending on her to do it and she will feel guilty otherwise. My dad says if she moves in that he will likely move out.

Question: Grandmother leaving money to adult step-grandchildren?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 11:49 AM PST

My grandmother is leaving money to her three adult step-grandchildren (23, 26, 30) who have just joined our family a year ago. She's dividing the inheritance equally between myself, her two other biological grandchildren and these three step-grandchildren. I'm very hurt by this because these strangers will be inheriting equally between my brother, myself, and my cousin and we don't even know them. I don't know if I should bring it up or not to her. I don't want to damage our relationship with her because I do love her dearly but this news is upsetting, especially since these step-grandchildren have never even bothered to visit or call her for anything. My father and his two sisters are also unsettled by this but don't know if they should say anything either. Obviously, I understand it's her money and she can do what she pleases with it. I'm upset about her displacing her flesh and blood. It's also not money that we're inheriting. It's family heirlooms, like my dead grandfather's gun, my great-grandmother's wedding dress, etc.

Question: Help with my step-mom. (Read. Below)?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 11:40 AM PST

So, I m 11 and my step mom just moved here from Colombia. She pretty much doesn t know English. My dad got engaged to her before I even knew who she was, and I had to find out by my 15 year old cousin who has Facebook. The picture on Facebook had her and my dad and she had a ring on. I confronted my dad, he lied and said it was a promise ring and then I found out it was an engagement ring. So, she constantly ignores me, never talks to me, favors my brother, and just doesn t like me. I finally told my dad what was wrong and I said, "why did you marry her?? I wish she would go back to Colombia Dad! She hates me!" Now I feel like I messed everything up and I feel like I really hurt my dads feelings. I ve been crying my eyes out for the past hour. Please help me.

Question: Should I tell my mom what her friends are thinking she is doing?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 11:39 AM PST

I am told it is unusual but my ex husband Bill and I are still on friendly terms. When we were married my mom thought of him as the son she never had. They were best friends then and they remained friends even after our divorce. She just adores him and he feels the same about her. The thing mom enjoys MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD is to go out to a restaurant for dinner. Bill occasionally takes her to a high end restaurant which thrills her to no end. She looks at it as a son taking his mom out to a restaurant. Some of her friends tell me they think she is turning into a cougar. I know that is the farthest thing from her mind. I know Bill does not think of her that way either. Should I tell her what some of her friends are thinking? I am afraid it will spoil her enjoyment of her outing. Bill is a great looking guy and mom is 20+ years older than he is. I can see how people might think that but it is not true. Or Do I just keep quiet? Mom is having fun and enjoying herself and anything that makes her happy I am all for. In fact, I wish they would invite me to come with them sometime. Should I or she care what other people think might be going on. ADVICE PLEASE.

Question: Is this why my brother is so smart?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 11:36 AM PST

I accidentally caught my little brother j - - king off. He told me he read in the Weekly World News that each time he did that, it raised his IQ. Could that be possible or is he feeding me a line of bull? If it is true, he is going to be a genius. Could this be why he is so smart?

Question: Should I be shirtless around home?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 11:11 AM PST

I'm 13, and I'm more comfortable being shirtless and I think it's cool. I used to be self conscious about it so I'm worried my mom will think it's weird if I start. I sleep shirtless but I don't think anyone knows. My dad is shirtless at home sometimes. Any tips for starting to take my shirt off at home without anyone thinking it's weird?

Question: Moroccan Culture Family?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:58 AM PST

Hello, I have a problem. My parents are from morocco. I speak the language but I don't REALLY understand the culture. Growing up I caused offense because of it quite often (when visiting). My elder female cousins are insisting on being called sister. Our definitions of respect are different. To me, respect is always mutual and equal. What they mean by respect is "respecting elders". Even a cousin 1 year your senior. They expect me to obey them and it seems to be a very normal thing in morocco. Their younger siblings obey them too. Is this normal? Should I do as the romans do when in rome or insist on my culture where there is no age hierarchy? Is there anything else I should know before I cause offense again? I'd like to add that we are VERY close to each other. They are like sisters to me. And my younger cousins treat me with uttermost respect and obey me. In return I have to (more HAD to) take care of them. Is this just my family? Thank you

Question: Is my aunt secretly pregnant?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:55 AM PST

I have an aunt (my mom's brother's wife) who my siblings and I are very close to. My parents don't like her for some reason but my siblings and I are very close to her. My aunt and my uncle have been trying to have a baby for so long but it never works. They are still together, but they don't live together. My aunt works in a different state than my uncle. They don't see each other often. They only messsge each other and talk on the phone. The reason I think my aunt is pregnant is because she blocked me and my siblings on Facebook. It's like she doesn't want us to see what she post. Also, one day I went through my uncles phone and I saw her sending my uncle a picture message of her stomach. Her stomach looked really big. I know this is not normal because my aunt is very skinny. Her stomach didn't look like a fat stomach, but more like a pregnant stomach. Since my uncle and aunt doesn't have a house, my aunt leaves some of her closet he's at my house. The other day she asked me what time do I get home from school because she needs to go to my house to get her clothes. It's like she's asking me the time so she knows what time to avoid me. (She has the keys to my house). Another weird thing is that my gandpa was sick in New York hospital with cancer last month, and my aunt flew to New York but didn't go visit my grandpa. My uncle was also with my grandpa. He knows that my aunt was at New York but he told my grandpa that she's not.

Question: My mother-in-law wants us to get divorced -something about protecting her daughter -how to handle this?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:53 AM PST

Question: Everything about my fiancee annoys me. What should I do?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:48 AM PST

For starters, I love this woman with all my heart. She's sweet, kind, amazing, all of the above. I hate to sound stereotypical, but she's a latin woman who brings stereotypical things to the table that I just hate and it annoys the crap out of me. Let me paint a picture for you. 1) She's very loud and yells all the time (in just normal conversation). Granted, she's not yelling at me directly, but why in the hell is she so loud? 2) She thinks she's everyones mother. This annoys me to NO END! We went to restaurant yesterday, the area where we were seated was very cramped, so me being a gentleman, I waited for her to get situated, I held her purse, coat, scarf, etc, so she could sit down first. She didn't even give me 2 seconds to give her all the things I was holding for HER before she rattles off with. SIT DOWN! Um, can I take my coat off, can I get comfortable too just as I just allowed you to do. I could ramble on about this category for days. 3) When we are in the car, if I'm driving, its always: "why didn't you go this way? Why didn't you take this highway, why are you in this lane, why why why didn't I do something". This annoys me too. Sometimes, I really want to say "Can you just STFU and enjoy the ride. No matter which way I take, it's going to take us to the same place!" We live in NYC, so its a million ways to get to the same location. 4) She ALWAYS "has something to say". Like, life can't go on UNLESS she speaks.

Question: Should you tell your parents about your piercings before or after getting them at 18?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:42 AM PST

I just turned 18 and I want to get my belly button pierced along with my cartilage and 3rd hole. Whenever I was younger and would mention this to my parents (my dad especially), they'd say no way. I am planning to go get them done on Friday with my friend who is also 18. I know I am a legal adult and have every right to do this on my own, but I don't want my parents to think i'm being rebellious or that turning 18 is changing me. They are just piercings i've always wanted. Should I tell them beforehand that I am going, or should I tell them after I get them done? I know they can't really tell me no beforehand anymore, but what if they do? Help!

Question: My step dad keeps smacking my butt?!?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:35 AM PST

I'm 13 almost 14 and my mom got remarried to this guy about when I was 8. He was really nice and bought me the things I needed and wanted. But then when I hit the double digits, he just started acting different. Every time when we eat dinner, sometimes I catch him stare at me since he sits right across from me. Then for the pass 1-2 years he has been smacking my butt and I don't really know if that's just a dad thing but when he does do this I slap or punch him back for no reason. I don't know if he thinks I'm just playing around and my mom also knows that he smacks my butt but Im not sure if she thinks he's just playing around. He also does this to my mother which I understand cause they're married. Then when I was 11 or 12 he told me that if I was older he would marry me. Then there was this time when I was standing behind the couch and I was leaning forward then I suddenly feel somebody humping me and it was my stepdad. This whole thing has been making me very uncomfortable. But I don't want it to ruin my mom and stepdad's marriage. And I'm really close to my stepdad's family. Pleeeeeeeeaaase help me!! I don't really know what to do. I want it to stop but I don't want it to ruin anything.

Question: Why is my mom punishing me for being sick ?

So she had to go to ulta yesterday and the store. I had a really bad stomach ache and I told her about it. She got mad and said we won't go then. I told her I can wait in the car and she said no. Then today she said she was going to the store. So I got dressed and got excited to leave the house then I told her I'm ready to go and she said I'm not going and I asked why and she said it's your fault I couldn't go last night. Is she being unreasonable ? I told her Saturday night I can wait in the car.

Question: How come parents kick their kids out of the house when they do illegal things?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 09:22 AM PST

Such as drugs and guns and joining a gang? Getting pregnant isn't illegal, but parents evict their children for that as well. I've never been a parent, so I would like to get to see this from a parent's perspective.

Question: My aunt is estranged from us but does it mean I need to be estranged from her adult children?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 09:02 AM PST

We never see them so they are not active in the family but technically still cousins and I don't think they are bad My mother tells me not to get to know them because I would have to see their mother if I did. We are all adults. Anonymous----I can host them but what if I never hear the end of it from my mother if she finds out. Also, more scary, what if they decline and don't want to be around me because of the feud between the two sisters?

Question: Is my mom being irrational?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 09:00 AM PST

I started dating a guy a couple months ago. While at his house the other night, I wasn't feeling too well so we just sat on the couch & watched a movie. I told my mom I'd be back by midnight, but we both fell asleep & didn't wake up until a few hours after midnight. I woke up to a bunch of texts from my mom, and I replied right away and said how sorry I was, and went home. My mom said that this was disrepectful to her and that it means I'm immature/don't care about her feelings. This is not true, I would never stay out late and not text my mom to let her know I was okay on purpose. We really did just fall asleep. I felt horrible about the whole thing. My mom said she doesn't believe/trust me, & if I'm going to be this reckless then I either have to choose between paying her a few hundred bucks in rent per month, or being kicked out. I've never been a bad kid. I always help out around the house, I babysit my kid brother all the time while she's working. I have a job, I'm going to college. I pay for a lot of my own stuff, my own phone, food, etc. Anything to minimize costs for her. I'm 20, so I can move out, but I feel like she's overreacting. When she was younger, she was always out partying and wouldn't come home until the next morning, & this was while living w/ my grandparent's and I was a baby. She'd rarely call to let them know she was okay. But they never made her pay rent, or kicked her out. They told me she's being crazy and said I'm welcome to move in with them.

Question: I feel guilty for relying on my parents?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 08:41 AM PST

I'm 18, just graduated high school in June and I'm living at home with no job right now. I've had 3 jobs in the past but wound up quitting every time. I'm always applying to jobs and going to interviews but I haven't been getting any calls back lately. I don't even have my license. I have my permit but it's expired. I used to take driving lessons but I was really bad at it so I quit. My mom is sick with a cold right now and she is still the one going to the store and doing things around the house. I offer to help clean sometimes but she always tells me that she'll do it herself. I feel guilty because I'm 18 now. I should be the one driving to the store when my parents are sick. I was also very selfish throughout my childhood and was very rude to my parents. But my mom was also verbally and physically abusive to me when I was younger, but not anymore. It makes me feel like a loser having to still rely on my parents for food, being driven to interviews, while most kids my age are in college or have their own car and a job. I have social anxiety and I don't even have any friends. I just sit in my room, applying to jobs and watching Youtube. I feel like my family is ashamed of me. I let everyone down. I slacked off in school and can't get into a good college. I'm a quitter and a loser. I guess I'm writing this just as a rant and to see if anyone else can relate.

I do that all the time if I don't need shoes. I just got to my sisters house to spend the day vising her and my Nephew and I drove here barefoot and my shoes are at home. I did not need shoes in my sisters house so I did not bring them.

Question: My mom said she'll buy me new shoes (which are needed) but is now saying no because I was rude?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 04:59 AM PST

My sister and my mom had a fight and my mom asked me what u thought of he situation, I said I'm not getting involved and she said that "she was seeing a different side to me" and "I was being 2 faced and rude". Just because I didn't want to get involved in her fight. Now she said she's not getting me the shoes that she promised all week that she would get me. What should I do?

Question: My mother is confusing the duck out of me!!?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 04:46 AM PST

We have never been close, don't get me wrong, I do love her, sMI just don't feel as comfortable am to her as it it seems my sister does. I do not feel comfortable asking for help or money, and when I ask about my son she seems so busy. I don't want to burden her. My sister always has, still and probably always will need my mom more than I do... and I accept that... I'm fine with that because I understand... About a month ago my mom calls me at my work crying... because I don't keep her in the loop. Apparently she want listening to me at thanksgiving OR christmas when I discussed my son being placed in the autism spectrum... she called me crying because she thought I hated her and didn't want her in my son'so life.... granted at this point I was thinking it wad easier. But I didn't say it. With her permission I arranged for her to take him for a few hours every thirday, so she would feel like she could spend time with ollie.... she wasn't home half of the time and was asleep the oth r half... my sister came ov r and picked him up ... so I don't even bother this morning.... and I get another call crying.... I tried to explain to her... he may he six year old but he is more like a two year oldmm. You cannot sleep while he wanders around the house... she cried again...and accused me of am calling her a bad mother... What do I do?

Question: My sister purposely bruises herself?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 03:52 AM PST

my younger sister (she's 14) has somehow managed to acquire more bruises on her legs and arms every time i see her, and that's pretty impressive, since we live in the same house. yesterday, i had asked her why she had those bruises and she admitted to seeing all the "pretty and grunge girls" on tumblr with bruises all over their bodies as well, and she thought they were so nice and pretty and she'd look cool. she's purposely hit her knee or arm over her bed frame or even directly at a wall to obtain the bruises. i've tried to convince her to stop, as she might actually seriously hurt herself one day, but she wouldn't listen. recently, i had opened up her laptop and found a tab which contained her own tumblr account. she would reblog posts with her so-called "aesthetic bruises" on various girls and i've noticed a few anorexia posts on there (the kind such as "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"). should i tell my mom what's happening, or is this just a phase she'll get through?

Question: Since my parents are divorced and I live with my Mom does my Dad not matter as much anymore?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 03:41 AM PST

My mother always talks like he is the lower parent. She says he probably likes me enough but does not love me and that she and my grandma (her Mom) are the ones who love me. Does he not matter anymore? I am 17 and so should I treat him as a distant relative only?My parents divorced 4 years ago so it has been awhile.

Question: Helping a loved one drug addiction?

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 03:06 AM PST

My little brother has been on drugs for quite some time, I've been the only person trying to help him, we are a total of 5. We are the youngest, we have a bond like any brother/sister would. I'm not going to lie, I was giving up on him due to his negativity and lack of support from other family (mom and dad) He was arrested for petty theft, he called me after he was released and I had a real good talk with him. I know since this was his first time being arrested he wants to "change" I am determined to help him even if I don't have the support from other family members. I honestly do not know where to begin. Anyone that has ever dealt with this, please help me out. I need advice. I know I can do this!!! Thank you

Question: Is my dad physically abusive?

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 11:54 PM PST

I am a rather small 15 year old girl. This doesn't happen very often, and it isn't the result of drinking because my dad doesn't even drink or anything just every once in a while when I am being a "brat" my dad will lose his temper. For example, tonight he shoved me into a door, almost knocked me over and did things like grabbed my wrists and twisted me into a full body lock, shoving me face first against a wall. Basically doing lots of stuff to use his strength against me. If I was "provoking" and fighting back, is this still abuse? P.S. for the most part, my dad is a good dad even though we don't get along a lot so please do not be disrespectful to me or my dad. I just want an answer.

Question: PLEASE HELP. can't take any more of this, my mother is tearing me apart and I think I may be becoming depressed.. What do I do?

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 10:37 PM PST

My mother has been chipping away at my sanity for years now, when I was smaller it wasn't nearly as bad. But I'm now a junior in high school and it's gotten much worse. Every time I say something she disagrees with or makes her upset her response is to smack me and has openly said she will continue to do this every time I "disrespect" her. I'm not allowed to have my own opinions or thoughts if she finds them "disrespectful" I'm a bit of an introvert so when I'm not out of the house I spend much of my time in my room playing computer games however because she disagrees with it she'll come in at random times screaming at me to stop immediately and if I don't do it in what she considers a timely fashion or she repeats herself she proceeds to pull it out of the wall which has caused my room to short circuit and kill all the electronics. She's constantly screaming at me and gets mad if I respond back with a raised voice and proceeds to smack me for it. She says that I owe her respect but not the other way around because she's my Mother. She constantly insults me calling me an idiot and tells me I'm not going to college which has affected my grades in school because I can't take a single exam without those very words repeating themselves in my head. She's even gone as far as calling my sister in college to tell her "What did I do to deserve such a worthless son" I don't know what else to do, this is tearing me apart and I can't live like this for much longer.

Question: Moving out at 17?

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 10:11 PM PST

Long story short, my dad fought for custody for me my whole life and finally got full time in 2012 from my drug attic, verbally abusive mother, my dad got PTSD a couple months later, I have had a step mother since I was 4 and she was always amazing till this happened, my father has been verbally abusive to me and my step mom and she doesn't protect me from him at all, he controls everything, he goes through everything on my phone,computer, not aloud to have any form of social media etc, has taken away all of my friends because he doesn't agree with their parents child raising skills, bullies me for not having friends (the irony),bullies me for not having a job then for not having all A's, the list goes on, but basically he had a huge (outburst?) on November 21st 2015 and I've been living with my grandmother since then. I've been "home" MAYBE 9 times total when being forced to spend the night, he pays for absolutely nothing not even my $500 a month private school he forces me to attend, but through all of this me and my grandma have to ask him if I'm aloud to do something everyday "can I go to church w/ my boyfriend, hang out w/..,etc." We need to know our rights, how can I get out of his control, we can't attempt any action because he won't listen at all, he says its "his right to have me" yet I don't live with him, or he will possibly make me come back there and we won't risk that. Please, anyone who knows what I can do let me know. I can't stand this suffering much longer
