My little sister thinks I'm stupid and my little brother thinks he's my older brother.

my life is bad, but i still have things i want to stay alive to keep doing. my family is bad. my little sister is mentally ill and is a psycho, my dad is cruel to me, and my mom wont do anything about it school i was bullied in 4th grade all year long and the teachers and school didnt care so if i talked to a school counselor they probably wouldnt care and all of the other girls always talk to their friends and if i want to join in i feel like they just ignore me and they are mean to me... i wanna die and i wanna live at the same time, please help me with my life i am not old enough to move but i dont want to grow up becoming bad like this because you become like the people you grow up around. i really just want to stay being a nice person (yes i am even nice to others at school) oh and also my sister is mentally ill. you are thinking mental hospital or orphanage right? well mom says no because she is "her baby" and she is "my sister" so we apparently have just got to keep her.

He tells me he wont, since its just like ''slave work''. So I got my bike to the store and bought it myself despite having back pain and being exhausted. My brother sleeps for 12 hours and doesnt leave the house. Why cant he get some food? I do the dishes, the laundry and throw out the trash. Why can my dad not just help me out on this one thing without asking things like ''what have you done for me today for me to buy you food?'' I have done a lot without anything in return. He asks again ''what about today though?'' Am I missing something here? I believe in altruism, and try to help people who appear to be in need. What am I wrong about here?

I'm going into modeling and preschool teaching. Instead of supporting me, the first thing my cousin lectures me on is how "I'm very beautiful but I need to realize it's a lot of work and not just posing." In a very snobby way. Today I had to practice a movement and music activity that I need to facilitate with my college class as if they are the children and I'm the teacher. Im a small girl. My brother is a big guy. He has a lot of weight over me and instead of making this activity fun he makes it stressful by bumping into me and hitting me. I told him to stop. No matter what I said, he goes, "oh I'm just preparing you to deal with trouble makers." I KNOW not all kids are going to behave. Does he have to hit me for it? He nearly knocked me over against a glass table. If I didn't catch my balance I would have really gotten hurt. I have a 4.0 gpa in college thus far, why does my family continue to underestimate my intelligence? I feel like dying. 😔

So I'm 14 and my sister is 17 and my mom mad dad are divorced and she just started this whole argument about how she thinks I like my dad more than her which is not the case and then she starts crying and says you guys don't love me and appreciate me and you disrespect me and stuff. I tried to talk to her and she won't listen. And she keep saying if I was a crackhead and left then y'all would be concerned and appreciative. And she keeps saying she's done and stuff and she's worked hard to take care of us. We do appreciate her and we do love her!! I think she going a little out of he way . And now she's just in her room and won't talk to us. It's been like this for a couple of hours now . WHAT IS GOING ? Is she crazy or am I just crazy? Btw I cried a lot too

I live with my father. Does he still have to pay childsupport to my mother? She never buys me anything anyways.

So I'm just wondering when, in all areas of any happenings that should have a "Meet In The Middle". Where family members or who ever want to have their input added in the mix can. Where it will work out. Say like: What color of the exterior of the family house should be. The remodeling of an area of the family house, like a style, décor of how it should look. What type of style lighting should be changed for which part of the house that getting that. When a family member need a little of some home care in helping out on physical therapy of area(hand, walking, and even a little bit of speech) and what ever else the person need like help to the restroom. A member say will also have that do house work too. But another say NO, I don't like a person touching our stuff, ask where what, can this be thrown away. It like don't have the patience for that. Like Alice on the Brady Bunch, Alfred in the Batman universe or Mr. Belvedere(from the TV series). It like the person will understand the physical therapy helping part is more important, but just does not want what the other part a family member want also in addition to it. More like rather be like single people who never got married and living with a roommate, that don't clean the house that much. But still do and not let it go real bad. I could go on with different happenings, but might be good enough. Of course in the real world, at work it might be harder to have that happen in group projects. But when it comes to families, can't be that hard to have a "Meet In The Middle" on things vs. at work. Where there are group projects. IF it is that hard or a family member's decision on it, is good enough. No need for a "Meet In The Middle", even when someone has a opinion on it or just want this way or that way added in the mix also. It kind of like why should the human race be able have something call a individualism or family? Just be like the Borgs( from Star Trek The Next Generation) or humans can't be born into what is called family. They just suddenly appear on earth when ever. Shouldn't it be since individualism and family do exist in the human race, that there should be a "Meet In The Middle" at almost everything. When one has a view or don't like which part of what. Only on certain things not like family budget management how to get something fix up say a some what major house problem, like outdoor wires, the water heater, etc... Since this is not work like at a biotech company or defense contractor company.

When I was pregnant, the plan was to work until my son was 6 months and find ways that my husband can work, and I can work part time from home. Well, my son just turned 8 months and he abandoned our family after a huge argument. He doesnt even send money for bills that we accrued together such as rent, water, and electricity. When i asked him for the $ he said no since I filed child support after he went 2 months with putting the burden on me to provide for him promising me money then saying he didnt have it. Anywho, I want to be a stay at home mom like we planned because working close to 50 hours a week with an 8 month old is harrd! But without my husbands income or help, I cant right now. But i really want to start a side business or something.

Especially if you're both adults.

A man owns two homes, his deceased mothers and his own. He and his wife live on his home and a family that has been renting from him for the last 11 years lives in his mother's. They pay $1100 a month to him. This same man had a daughter who he pressured to bear grandchildren to him when she got older. His daughter went to school and got a degree and even worked for several years but ended up homeless. While she was homeless, she became pregnant. With nowhere to go, she ended up living with her parents at her father's house. She has no money, no place of her own, and is jobless. She asks if she can live in the house of the man's mother, her grandmother. He refuses and says it would be "wrong" to kick out the family paying rent to him for 11 years in order to give his daughter and her son a place to live. She would not be paying rent to him immediately. He tells his pregnant daughter that she is on her own if she decides to keep and raise his grandson. He also encourages adoption. The daughter feels slighted and angry. She feels that it would be no problem for him to ask the family living in her grandmother's house to leave because they are able to afford a place to go and she has nothing to start with. This man has $25,000 in his checking account alone and has paid off both houses. Is he being overly selfish? Or is his daughter being overly entitled?

I was on the layoff list where I work. I had a stroke of good luck and found another job at the company will a larger salary that I took immediately. Then I found out I had an unexpected problem. At my new job I am the boss of several guys. They are all great guys and they accepted me as their boss without any hesitation or problems working for a woman. My problem is my husband. He wants me to quit my job because he said "I don't want you to working closely with all these guys who want to get into your pants." I told him they can want all they want but it is not going to happen. I pointed out to my husband that we need my income to make our mortgage payments and I would be happy to quit work if he got a job that would cover all our expenses. Are all husbands this way? I have never given my husband any reason not to trust me. Why does he think every guy wants to get into my pants?

My cousin is so irritating sometimes, so when she does this stuff I dont let it show cause I know thats what she wants, a reaction. But she says stuff that are so stupid like the other day she said "didnt you go to a private school?" No I didnt I went to a continuation which is a big difference and she knows this. She calls me white all the time when Im a mix of a lot of races. And just uses ways that are so tiny and petty to try to put me down or make herself seem higher than me. How do I make it known that what she says doesnt hurt me, just that its hella dumb. Or just keep doing what Im doing?

They won't let me go because they say my uncle was mean to them and my grandmother sided with him. So I miss family holidays and as a result I hate Easter and Thanksgiving. Christmas at least we have the others over so it isn't as bad. I am 14.

Ok ladies i have a problem. Me (23) and my bro(25) live at home. Our mom cant work and has numerous problems (back surgeries. Arthritis. Ect). She trying to get disibility and has been trying for like 7 years. We pay for EVERYTHING. FOOD ALL BILLS HER MEDICINE. EVERYTHING. we have been doing this since 2012. Everything has been going smooth until abot 4 months ago. We have a older brother thats in prison. Has been locked up for two years. He got jumped and got hurt. Now this was 4 months ago and he is fine. I talk to him every week. Our mom has been going downhill ever since. She had a very bad drinking problem long years ago and lost custody of me and my bro. She came back in 2015 and has been sober for 7 years........up until bout 4 months ago. We found out she has been stealing my bro money and drinking with it. (He dont have a bank account and he has to keep money in his room) now this ainT no lil money she taking. Im talking up to 60 bucks shes stealing. What do i do? She wven almost burned the house down. Even had to go to the hospital. C she was drinking and wasnt takin her meds

My son just turned 18 years old and informed me a month ago that he is dating a 24 year old. My son is about to graduate HS and is a smart, but not incredibly responsible person. We are fighting constantly because I feel that this person is too old and not the best influence. I'm sure part of this is that it is hard to let your child grow up but I would like to him to be with someone his own age. This person lives at home with their father but is getting an apartment soon and if I do not allow this person to be a major part of my family, my son has threatened to move out. What do I do? I have not even tried to refuse to let them see each other but I am scared to death and it is ruining our relationship and causing tremendous stress on the rest of the family.

im 164 and 13 im a girl and my mom is 160 and my dad is 178 my youngest brother is 185 and the rest is 180?? i wanna be 173 what are the chances?? oh ok, sorry didnt know that also excuse my grammar. my mom is 5''2 my dad is 5''10 my youngest brother is 6'' the others are 5''11 and im 5''4

(there are underlying issues between me and my parents/stepdad. I won't say much about them but knowing that might make this whole thing make a lot more sense) My parents are telling me to apologize to my stepdad for snapping a cheapie bbq lighter in half. Firstly, the lighter wasn't even his, he just assumed that the gesture was directed at him. Secondly, I know it's the symbolic gesture that pissed him off, but that's exactly why I did it in the first place. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, I am nowhere NEAR sorry, but they might give me some major grief/ punishment if I don't apologize. I am mad at him and my parents because they are extremely hypocritical and weak. I have major depression and what I see when they flip out over pretty much anything they'd flip out over is, 'I go through hell and back every day, and you have the audacity to be upset over a bbq lighter'. I have previously apologized to my stepdad and parents for a multitude of things I wasn't sorry about, and it has seriously ****** with me. I snapped then, when they told me to apologize, I screamed louder than I thought I could, not shrill, but full of rage. Pure rage. That day, I almost found it in me to seriously hurt my parents... I'm glad I didn't, but I still feel half-tempted to tell my stepdad to sleep with one eye open. I'm not sure if I can actually physically force myself to apologize, because I hate him more than I thought anyone could ever hate anyone. That aside, in theory, _should_ I do it?

I recently moved out of my family's home and got married. They were very abusive growing up. I haven't spoken to any of them since last summer except I occasionally call to catch up with my grandma. I just found out that my husband and I are expecting our first child. I know that they are going to find out because I have a lot of connections from back home and gossip travels fast in my hometown. So I know that I will at least have to tell my grandma over the phone. However, there is NO WAY IN HELL that my family will be coming anywhere close to my baby. My husband and I have already made that decision mutually. I just know that it will crush my grandma to tell her that she will not be involved in my child's life. How do I go about telling her my decision? I haven't announced my pregnancy to anyone yet. I plan on telling her before I do that. But I also plan on telling her in the same conversation that she will not be involved in the baby's life whatsoever. I don't want to be too harsh but at the same time I want to make it clear that because of her and the rest of my family's abusive past, I don't want them around the baby at all.

My parents are divorced and I'm told it makes him uncomfortable to be around my mother. She lives nearby so I can't send her out to town to get him to come to town. He will not come for holidays and yet he just goes over to his sisters house so it's not like he has other kids he's obligated to. He sees my brother a lot that's because my brother doesn't live near her mother. I'm tired of him blowing my family off and show no interest whatsoever. I wonder if he might just not love us. How do I get him to show some interest in us and quit being a baby about the divorce that happened 21 years ago?

I live in a small three bedroom apartment, I wont have any extra spending money, and my friends are pretty much busy. I'm also not looking to throw a party or get laid. Any ideas?

My mom threatens to beat my butt if I don't do something on her terms or something, example: last night my mom told me to go to bed at 11 even though I just took a 3 hour nap. And then she tells me at like 2 in the morning that if I didn't go to sleep she'd beat my butt. I didn't because she didn't come back to my room. I'm 17 and I'm gonna be 18 in December, my brothers treat me like I'm a grown up and my mom doesn't, what should I do? How do I stop her from threatening me? She says she'll do it but she never does it. She won't even let me stay at a job I finally got hired because of the general manager and I want to feel like a responsible adult and have a job, and I'm a girl who has special needs. What should I do?

He's kind of weird and we have to see him Saturday in the thing and rock

She has a bachelor's degree and NOVA a really cheap college is a few miles away. She is fourty six years old. She doesn't want to work and my dad makes 2k a month but she has a Bachelors degree but she spits and mocks my dad. Why doesn't she work and make money? I LIKE MONEY, WHY DOESN'T SHE LIKE MONEY? If I was in her place I'd work and make money so I can go on vacation and buy delicious food and make some friends, but my mom just insults everyone and nags. Why is my mom lazy? She wears the Hijab and is a Muslim, I dont understand.

He never physically have her but he did not think of milk over on her pants not sure if it was on purpose or by accident and he broke a chair in a fight.

So my girlfriend had me on child support at one time and she took me off of it. She also has another baby father and he hasn't done anything for his child and she hasn't put him on child support. Should I be mad? Or just step up and be a father figure to him

My family is going to Mexico (Mom, Dad, Sister + 2 friends, Me+ 1 friend) My mom has booked an all inclusive 2 hotel rooms for her/my father and my sister/her friends, but now the airline says that there is no possible way to book a third room without a third adult? Is there any way for my friend and I to have our own seperate room booked? We are both 17, and if we can t go my Mom/Father will go without me.

I admit I stayed up until 1:00 am online shopping/looking for comforters and stuff whatever I wanted to get for my new room. I woke up and all That, to my sister leaving the room saying I was so disrespectful. You can probably guess that I was confused beyond this point. 15 or so minutes later my mom was screaming my name asking why I wasn t down there so I went down there obviously in a panic. She immediately started yelling at me saying I was grounded from so many things,etc. She didn t even give me a chance to explain myself or even talk. I opened my mouth once to try and talk to her but she just yelled more at me. At that point I knew that no matter what I said, it wouldn t change what she was going to do, it wouldn t matter. I d still be in trouble. I know I probably shouldn t be expressing my feelings online but, one thing I hate about her is that when someone does something that upsets her, she won t let you explain. She ll talk over you, no matter how hard you try whatever you say just won t matter. Can I have any help on how to resolve this issue? She said she would be telling my dad which I really don t care. At least he ll listen to me. But my moms always arguing with my dad over petty stuff. She ll just accuse him of trying to make up excuses for me like so yesterday when I forgot to put the dishes away after washing them. She ll either cause him of that or accuse him of trying to defend me. There s no way out, I need help.

I've had this nasty flu for what seems like an eternity. But that's not what I'm here to say. Unlike my dad, my mom couldn't care less about me being sick. She acts like she does but she doesn't. The reason I know is because she puts me in my room and anyone I leave she tells me to go back saying "I don't want you getting US sick." You guys? Wow. I even told her "I guess I should stay away because I'm on big monster" and she pretty much said "yeah." She also complained about me "coughing to much." This would be the point where I call for my dad but me and my smartass self lost my phone. Can you PLEASE help?? anytime not anyone*

On my moms side of the family (she has 3 sisters and I have 9 cousins) they are very mean to our family and exclude us from a lot. My immediate family (mom dad brothers, there wives and kids) are very close and we do a lot together. We invite them to easter/Christmas/baby shower and they flat out lie and say no and go do something else together and never invite us. They took my grandfathers ashes and spread them somewhere and still haven't told my mom where. It is the same with my cousins to and I think a lot of it is originally out of jealousy but they seem to hate us, especially my mom and I. It hurts our feelings especially since we are nice to them. Even something silly like my aunt liking on facebook all my cousins pictures except mine and it sounds petty but I know she is doing it on purpose. I was always nicest to her kids too so I don't get it. It makes me feel like im doing something wrong like maybe I shouldn't post what I do on facebook or instagram (I travel a lot so feel like its making them not like me and think im a bragger even though they all do the same thing whenever they have plans). I go skiing a lot and it gets ignored but if someone else does everyone its like omg so and so went skiing how awesome what should I do?

I'm a guy and my sister and I never get along. Why are we expected to? I didn't ask to have a sibling.

They are trying to destroy the family by divorcing.

She's 3 years older than me and at university. She's the one with the brains. I only went to sixth form and decided not to go to uni as I wasn't completely sure what to do and didn't want to waste time and money on something I'm not committed to. So I've been working as a home carer the last 6 months and it's very long hours and tiring but I do enjoy it. My mum told me when I was out at work the other day my sister went into my room and looked through my stuff and went to my mum with one of my pay slips and majorly kicked off saying "what??!! She earns THIS MUCH money for doing that?! And she's not even going to university!??!!" My mum said she was really annoyed I get paid so well and said I am already earning more money than what she will be when she has her degree! My mum is now asking me to pay her more rent too as my sister started interrogating her on how much rent I pay to live at home still and said I don't pay enough. She's basically behaved like a spoilt jealous child, I think she forgets I've only just turned 18, I work very long unsociable hours and work alone all day so I by far don't have a fun, glamorous job! It's really hurt me her being like this. Why can't she just be happy for me?

I m 17. I m a girl, and I want to run away.. my mom is an alcoholic and abuses me mentally and physically. My school doesn t allow me to get a job until I m 18 so I have no money. Staying home isn t an option. Things have gotten so much worse and turning 18 seems so far away. I don t have any family members I could run to, and my friends can t help me. I m wondering if I call the run away hotline do you think they ll help me find a homeless shelter? Or will they tell my mom what I m planning to do? Maybe some ideas on how to cope? Idk. I just need help anything will help.

Hi . I'm explaining to you something that my mother thinks me as a bad child . It's all about housework . You know am kind of slow in these things , I've the responsibility of cleaning , washing dishes and pressing clothes . So sometimes o do it late late and sometimes late. And whenever sometimes I don't obey my mother she keeps shouting on me and slaps me and will abuse me . And will keep telling thst I won't be happy with my husband with such behaviour . When I woke up I drink tea and along with it I also watch a movie and doing house work early in the morning just disgusts me , I will to take some time but mother doesn't understand it and she'll keep yelling at me . She also tells my relatives that I'm a bad child and doesn't do work on time . She keeps p's comparing me with other girls that how efficient and helpful they're to their mothers and housework but am not that capable . And my sister is also very evil to me , she also keeps complaining to people about me , abuse me , curse me , humiliate me doesn't helps me and is extreme selfish just because I'm slow at housework . Recently I applied for registration in a university and I want to study in that university but my parents forcing me to not study there and study on a different university thsts really annoying to me a lots and they're forcing me to mot study there and mother will yell at me for this all . Her presence is getting depressing for ne sometimes and I just want to live separate. Sorry for mistype and errors . I've a bad keyboard not a bad english .

SILENT.DIDNT DO ANYTHING

The time I write this question is in 16/03/2017 So I live with my dad, my brother and my stepmom. My dad buy things like cookies,biscuits and etc. He offered me to take 3 cookies. Then time goes on and then today he says that his cookies are running out. he first tells my brother if he took any and he says no. Then comes my stepmom and questions her if she took any. She also says no. Then comes me and when I say no, I haven't taken any after that day you offered me. He obviously don't believe me. I try everything to make him believe and undestand me, but he always doesn't listen. now I want to know. Why is it that my dad's cookies keep disappearing? When it's time to go to bed, I'm planning on installing a camera and see if I find anything suspicious or out place, but if I don't find anything or any explanation of what's happening then i'm going to be pretty pissed.

I know that teenagers and parents get into fights, that s a very true stereotype and I get that but between my mom and me it feels like chaos. I m not a perfect human being, far from it. I have **** memory, and when my mom tells me to do stuff, I forget. She thinks it s because I don t care which might be partially true but usually it s not I just forget. I have a tendency to sleep a lot and my mom usually barges into my room yelling at me to do chores a,b,c, and d but I forget and she blames my lack of caring. She has a tendency to always and I mean ALWAYS put me down whatever I do, compare me to others, make me feel like ****, etc. If something goes wrong between me and a second party, it s always MY fault. Since my mom s current marriage is crap too she expects me to be her support. I m so tired of listening to her complain to me and expect me to be there for her when she turns my life to ****. She s a hypocrite, my brother is the angel in her eyes. If he isn t then it s my fault for setting the bad example. She has NO patience. She screams because it s second nature to her, but she won t admit. She s a perfectionist and will try to correct every wrong thing I do even if it s only badly affecting me. IK that last one sounds like good parenting but sometimes you just gotta accept the fact that kids make their own mistakes, and if it s not hurting anybody just let it go. She literally mokes me like a five year old would. A GODDAMN FIVE YEAR OLD.

I was having a discussion with my sister the yesterday evening and she got aggressive as our discussion progressed and said to me that she would like to murder me and that she believes she would 'not go to jail for murdering me'--this threat coming after several similar threats in the past ... my question is what should I do and/or who should I call after a threat of this matter?

I'm 20 and grew up in Ohio. It's really boring here. I have lots of friends and a great family, but I still hate it. I feel like I would be wasting my life living here. And the area I'm from is getting worse and worse. I've always wanted to move to Massachusetts or Connecticut. I'll graduate in 2 years then I really want to move. I will miss my family so much, but at the same time I won't be satisfied staying here. Is moving worth being lonely?

My brother is a recluse who is cooped up in his room playing video games the second he comes home from school, it doesn't help that his bedroom is right next to the kitchen, he leaves his underwear all over the house for our mom to find and has never done homework in his life. My mom is only home three days a week because she works on another continent, and recently I told her that I hated how small my room is and she said she wanted my dad to move into my room and me to take her bedroom and she would sleep there too, and I told her that is seriously weird and my friends would realize how dysfunctional my family is if they found out. My dad is depressed all of the time and always asks me if his outfits are okay. I just wish my parents were as loving and caring as other parents were, honestly if they were a little stricter too, because I see how other parents love their children unconditionally and give them everything and then my parents don't get me anything, they make me buy my own clothes and bike and pay for redecorating my room, and I wish I was like my friends in so that I had a larger bedroom and had a normal family and brother that weren't so weird. My home life is so dysfunctional and the only time I feel normal with family is if my parents take me on vacation and we go somewhere nice or if I'm with my cousins and extended family. I'm asking this because I'm going to a new school and I don't want having a dysfunctional family to be an obstacle in making friends.

I've tried a whole bunch and all of them say free but ask for money at the end. Some were cheap so I would pay but my debit card isint working. I just want to mail a letter to someone I used to know. I have no ill intentions. Please help!

This question is in particular regards to someone coming out and knowing they'll be rejected/harmed/shunned, but could apply to other things as well (ie. picking a well-paying career that your parents want versus choosing your own path that may reward you and your family with less).

How can I help my dad not be rasict because he is turning one of my brothers into a rasict my brother literally always calls me ****** and he says he hates black people and how black people are stupid even though he had black friends where we used to live and may have them now. I live in Las Vegas and am moving to Oklahoma which I assume has a lot of rasict people. My dad wants me to go to a school with the most white people possible and says black people are aggressive no matter what. He even told me that if I date a black person he would disown me and my brother said a couple of years ago if I would date a black person and I said yes as a joke (even though I would) and my dad got mad and took my phone. And today I told my dad that my brother kept calling me a ****** and I said how it is offensive and he said he can say it because black people say offensive things to whites. I know black people who are funny and I feel like if any of my friends knew my dad was rasict they wouldn't be my friend.

I'm 23 years old, and even though I'm over 21, I don't like the taste of alcohol. I have all types of fancy non-alcoholic soft drinks, I love to mix juices, soft drinks, and mix teas sometimes. I don't like alcohol. I still am uncomfortable with the bitter taste. But my mom, dad and sister make fun of me for not liking alcohol. My sister just turned 21 and immediately jumped to liking hard alcohol. I'm not sure if I will like alcohol. How do I get my family to stop making fun of me. My parents are even taking all of us to a wine tasting in summer, and I'm going to feel left out. What do I do?

Im 16 and during a real shitty day at work I get a text from my aunt (who I live with) about how messy the house was after she got home from work. I have 3 siblings who were all home at the time. She went on and on about how I need to do this and do that to keep this clean and to do all kinds of stuff for my siblings. I lost it and started to message her about how her and her partner (clean freak/perfectionist/her way is the only way/cannot please kind of person) are always on my *** about every little thing and how they think because I'm the oldest I should be resposible for everyone and their actions(or should I say mistakes). I agreed that yes maybe she needs to tell me every little thing to do so that I can be absolutely perfect for them! And that liveing with them is just as stressful as living with my mom(drug addict/dealer/nut). Obviously it isn't and they have done a great deal for me getting us away from my mom and such. I feel kinda bad but I refuse to admit I'm the wrong one. I wouldn't make I contact or speak with her in the car and she's super pissed at me for "having the nerve to talk to her like that" what should I do?

I hate to admit it, but i will actually miss my brother when he goes to college in August. We are the only two kids, so when he leaves, im the only child in the house. What will i do when hes gone? I will have no one to talk to, no one to do things with, and no one to help me with my homework. How can i make the best of my time being an only child? What can i do to keep me occupied

He is 12 years old, my cousin and he keeps telling me and our grandparents to do this or do that. He claims we need to stop back talking, but he is the one who back talks. And he is steadily being hateful. He was supposedly "sick" today and stayed out of school yet all day he kept on being rude and wasn't sick. He was saying he was going to hurt us and he would punch me and he would say he wasn't afraid to fight me or my grandpa. My grandma has just had a heart attack and my grandpa has lung problems so I take care of them, yet my cousin thinks he is the adult in the house. And he has been getting in trouble at school A LOT. getting in fights on the bus, fighting the teacher and sleeping in class and not doing his homework. He tells us he doesn't have home work, yet he does. How do we make him stop lying, back talking, being hateful and so rude to adults?

Ok so what do you do if your dad is an alcoholic and drinks through his liver and thinks that his kids will just give up a part of theirs? The transplant places put him on a list but they most likely won't get him a liver because he is an alcoholic and it takes awhile to actually get organs. But he says it's ok because he thinks that we (his kids) will give him apart of our liver because we (OWE) it to him... he is a deadbeat father who has done nothing for his children but he thinks that because we are family we will just give him a liver makes no sense what so ever! My siblings and I have no idea what to do so does anyone have any advice?

So, I am currently in High School and I have been having so much work at school, it is unbelievable. I am honestly so stressed right now and I honestly have been getting less that 4 hours of sleep per night. I always spend my lunches and free periods studying (I have a test or project or presentation due nearly every day) and I have almost no time to do anything other than study. I have even been forced to quit the sports and extra-curricular activities that I love in order to keep up my grades as they are now. My parents however, they don't understand. My mother gets mad when I tell her about how stressed I am and so does my father. They don't understand the pressure I go through and even if I have 10 minutes of free time, they're always shoving something else down my throat. They're always forcing me to go to random lectures or out of school academic events and its honestly killing me. The workload that I have, especially with what my parents pile on top of me is unbearable and I feel like I'm always buried under a mountain of work. Again, no matter what I tell my parents, no matter how much I cry (and believe me, I have) they just get angry and scream at me for being "weak" or "dramatic" or a liar. I just don't get it. How do I make them understand? I have nobody to talk to about my stress or sleep deprivation and as you read overhead, my parents won't listen or understand. How can I make them understand me without my relationship with my parents diminishing more?
