Question: My mother taught me dirty secrets about family as a kid. How do I get these out of my head as I feel guilty now that I heard them?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 01:43 PM PDT

I am an adult now and feel bad that my mother taught me these things. A lot of it is just rumors that may or may not be true about people's sex lives. Since my mom is a very bitter person she likes to especially hurt people she's mad at by using me as a soundboard. Now that I'm an adult I don't let her do it but I feel dirty for all the stuff I heard.

Question: I'm not sure how to move on in life at my age while my only parent is addicted to drugs.?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 01:39 PM PDT

My mother recently relapsed and I have just reached my breaking point. I don't want to become like her and I cannot stand the thought of my little brother growing up and becoming like me. I'm not sure exactly what to do. I don't have a job currently and cannot get one because our car is out of commission and I also have no idea how to drive properly (I am 19 and was never taught, sadly.). She's gone mental in so many aspects, hitting herself in the head and crying, but I just don't care anymore. I only care about my younger brother who will be seven in a bit over a month. I have been actively trying to get my HSED (I finished 3/4 of my senior year at a wonderful high school) and I have no transportation whatsoever. My grandparents threw me back at my mother after my depression resurfaced hardcore during the later half of my senior year, which caused me to miss a lot of school and ultimately fail because of attendance, not because of grades. So what I need to know is exactly what to do? I have no transportation, the electricity and other utilities and bills will be cut off soon and I am in dire need of a way out. I know I cannot adopt my brother without a steady income, but I seriously want to do just that and get help. I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I have absolutely no idea about what I can do to help myself. I'm tired of the same perpetual cycle which will ultimately lead me to death. I need some sort of help from someone.

Question: Troubled teen?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 01:21 PM PDT

I have a 14 year old daughter that is very passive aggressive. She s never straight up rude but when asked to do things will just sit there doing nothing. She won t do homework, won t clean, won t do anything. But asks for everything. She does mean things to her younger siblings and says things to cause my husband and I to fight. We tried counseling but she lies. She lied to a teacher she had a bruise on her side and CPS was called to our house. The so called bruise was her birthmark. But what if it wasn t? She could cost us all of our kids because she s lazy and doesn t want to do right. She won t do chores, read, nothing. To everyone else "she s so sweet and quiet" but she s not!!! She ll physically hurt her younger siblings, she attacked one of our dogs constantly that we gave it away to protect it and will lie about it. I hide to watch her and see it with my own eyes. Her school won t help because she not trouble there. She wears two faces and I m so sick and tired of it. She can kill one of my younger kids and no one will help me. Counseling is always talked about but when she goes she lies and I m investigated which isn t fair. People coming and going checking when it comes back she s lying but they still do it anyway because they say they have to take it all serious but what about my other kids, husband and self. We all are being victimize by it and her actions and no one else cares. They tell me not to give up but what about the rest of us?

Question: Should I forget about this and just pretend it never happened?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 01:05 PM PDT

My wife's mother Billie is staying with us for a few weeks while her house is being remodeled. She is a wonderful person that we both adore. She has a great personality and is just a joy to be around. I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom and Billie walks in, takes off her robe and gets in the shower. WOW. What a beautiful body. I had to get out of there fast so I would NOT get a b0ner. Guys, can you imagine how I could explain to my wife if I had got a b0ner for her mother. I think I would be in BIG TROUBLE (gals would I). Luckily it did NOT happen. This happened a few days ago and it apparently is no big deal for Billie. She never said a word about it. Should I tell my wife what happened and/or just lock the bathroom door every time I an in it and forget this ever happened? I am afraid if I tell my wife, she will be mad at me or mad at her mother or mad at both of us. Since nothing happened wouldn't it be better to just forget about the whole thing and not cause a family fight?

Question: Is this normal?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 12:31 PM PDT

So my parents are divorced and my dad got a girlfriend. I cam over to her place with my dad and seeing her with my dad just made my cry on the indisde. It feels unfair that this woman will get to spend the rest of her life with my dad, while all I wanted throught my childhood was for my parents to just get along so that we could be a small happy family. Its not like I can even talk to someone about this because I am an only child. When I imagine him just sitting on the couch watching a movie with her children... the fact that they will get to be with my dad and be raised by him and that makes me feel jealous. Every single time that I think about this it makes my try not to cry. But I also feel happy for these children. They WILL get to be raised by this amazing person.... while I am stuck with my mom for the next 4 years until I turn 18 and move ot because there i s no way I am going to tolerate a life of bullshit living where I am. In the end, I just feel like ****. All I ever wanted was for my dad and I to always be together like those TV families that are always so cheerful and- im going to stop now. what do I do. The woman has 3 children. My childhood post divorce has been **** and from the age of 7 I tried to push away all of these thoughts by playing video games nonstop. I am 14 now.

Question: I dont want to outshine my mother.?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 12:29 PM PDT

Ever since i was a kid, my mother told me and my siblings that she wants us to be better than she ever couldve been. I want to be an entrepreneur and ever since I said i wanted to be that she's been supporting me.... But, im not ok with outshining her, not one bit. What do I do?

Question: How do I get my sister to stop shoplifting?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 12:19 PM PDT

(I'm 16). A few weeks ago I found out that my 14-year old sister is stealing from stores with her friends, like makeup, cheap jewelry, candy and stuff. I knew I had to talk to her about it, I got caught from shoplifting a few years back and it caused a lot of problems, I regret it so much. I tried to talk to her (not "like a parent", I just told her that she'll get in trouble if she continues and that she should stop). However a few days after that I saw some new things in her room again, apparently my warning didn't help. After that I've been trying to talk to her several times, but she doesn't care, just says that I'm not her mom and that she thought I would be on her side. I really don't want to tell our parents either though, back when I was caught and the police brought me home they were shocked and it caused a huge fuss (plus they might blame me for being bad influence). And I'm still her sister, she'd probably hate me if I did that. I can't exactly relate with her either since she's shoplifting for different reasons than I did, I did it because I didn't care about anything and wanted to get "the kicks", she's doing it to impress her friends and not look weak. How do I get her to stop before she gets caught, or should I just tell my parents??

Question: Is my mom abusive? please help?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:34 AM PDT

i am almost 16 years old and my mother divorced my father when i was 5. growing up she would hit me for making messes and lock me in dark rooms and hit me some more. i eventually went to live with my dad when i was 7 and then went back to her when i was 10 bc of family issues on my fathers side. she would constantly tell me i would end up like my father, whom she considered a "loser" "failure" and she has always made me feel bad about my appearence and stuff i cannot change (commenting on my weight, saying my voice was ugly etc) and forced me into painful beauty procedures at times (waxing my underlegs since i was 10, bleaching my skin so it was fair etc). she usually hits me when she is mad at me. one time i came out of the shower and she tore the towel off and hit me and i lay on the floor crying while she yelled for example. once she broke my glasses when she slapped me. she has been telling me since i was a child , like 11, that i am a burden and a punishment for her and that has really ruined my self confidence over the years. she has also threatened to kick me out / send me to my fathers again several times over the past year. however, please keep in mind she is a desi woman living in south asia. divorcing was very difficult for her and her family did not support her. i have grown up thinking hitting children was normal but only now i have been told the way i was treated is not good. please tell me if i am being overdramatic by saying she is abusive or not.

Question: If I am helping well should someone say I don't?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:18 AM PDT

My mother passed away close to a year now. I am now caring for a mentally ill brother at home. My cousin is representative payee for him and sends me $500 a month for expenses. A social worker told her our refrigerator is rather empty. My cousin called me a few weeks ago and asked about it and I tell her the truth that he prefers I get restaurant food most of the time. My cousin said she may no longer send a monthly payment. I notice she did send the payment. My brother agrees he gets enough food. Why did my cousin say she may not send payment and shouldn't she talk to my brother about it more than me?

Question: Why is my body type different than my mothers?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:18 AM PDT

So my mother is a very heavy pear. She has had two kids,my sister and I. My sister is also a pear. I, unfortunately am a apple/inverted triangle. I have had 3 kids, but my body always goes back to this shape. My sister has had two kids, and is still a pear. It's quite annoying. I lost contact with my biological father,so I don't really know what the women in his family looked like. Is there any way to reverse this? Why is my body like this?

Question: How to deal with my abusive sister?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:14 AM PDT

Don't get me wrong - I love my sister and I understand that she might be going through tough times, but the way she acts isn't appropriate. As I'm the younger sibling and she the older, she always had charge over me despite how little charge it was. However, the way she abuses that power is absolutely ridiculous. For example, she has to wake me up in the mornings when my mother isn't home. But the way she does so is she shoves me, not like a gentle, time to get up shove but I full on push to the other side of the bed. Not only that, but we both enjoy playing games (specifically console) and whenever we both want to play we have to switch off. Just today, I went down to play and she said 'well you always complain when I play so I get to play another round', which not only doesn't make sense but alps doesn't go by the rules our parents set. She's hit me, cussed me out, disrespected me and even blamed me for things I would never do. Getting my parents to interfere is out of the question, they won't listen whatsoever. So what can I do to stop her from completely ruining my life?

Question: Should I open up to my mum about my miscarriage?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:08 AM PDT

I miscarried around 4 years ago and I'm still with the same guy, I was 19 when I miscarried but I never told anyone but my boyfriend about my pregnancy because I was worried as I was young, irresponsible and was a college drop out with a low paid job and didn't want my mum to think I was irresponsible for being pregnant in the first place. I never wanted a kid and now I am more careful. I feel sometimes this is a weight on my shoulders, do you think sharing with mum would help? I don't want to stress her because she constantly works and is a very busy woman with a high responsibility job

Question: My brother keeps robbing me and my mother but she doesnt care?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:04 AM PDT

This fu**ing little bastard who I put in the hospital 6 god damn times from robbing me continues to rob me. Every month sometimes every 2 weeks I'm missing money, games, expensive jewelry, 2 stolen laptops that my brother keeps stealing and I know its him cause when stuff first started going missing in my room I set up cameras to see what was going on and I seen him steal my $900 ring. When I confronted him he lied to my face saying he didn't take it when I caught the fu**ing prik on camera. I ended up beating him badly thinking it will teach him a lesson and after he recovers in the hospital he does it again 3 weeks later when i find that one of my laptops were missing. But not only does he steal from me but he stole my mothers credit cards and withdrew $800 from the ATM. He stole from her more than me and she's says "oh its not a big deal." Thats her response to every time he robes me or her "Its not a big deal." The woman does not give 2 sh**s about ANYTHING. No matter how many times I kick the hell out of him he continues to steal from me and my mother. Hes 21 btw and he's been stealing since 17. I've tried locking up my valuables that he keeps breaking into. She doesn't want to call the police on him cause she's a dumb bit**. One of his ex friends told me that the stuff he takes is being sold to other people. He most likely needs money for drugs since the fag has a history of narcotic abuse. I work, so I cant be around all the time to monitor my stuff.

Question: How to deal with emotionally abusive mother?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 11:04 AM PDT

Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl. When I was growing up, my parents were not always around. They both retired for medical reasons when I entered middle school. My mom was harassed at her old job and suffered from anziety and depression. Additionally, she had a very unsupported mother, my grandmother, who didn't seem to love anyone. My mother would tell me that I would never make in life, that I was stupid and irresponsible, that it's my fault for her anger, and that if I was more responsible then she would not have to yell at me. She would say that she hates me and that she would put me up for adoption. Just a few minutes ago, she said that it was my fault that the "devil was in her" and "you had my life miserable, so I will make yours miserable." When I was younger, she would belt me and spank with shoes. at the time I thought this is what all kids went through, but now I'm not as sure.My dad doesn't do anything to help. When I start crying, he tells me that I'm not a wimp and that she gets that way sometimes. He made a call one time to child services. I don't know much longer I can deal with this. I've suffered from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. I would never kill myself since that's against my beliefs, but I just don't know what to do. If you have any support or ideas on how to cope, please let me know. Thank you so much

Question: Is it wrong for me to not like my family?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 10:08 AM PDT

I'm the youngest. My mom and other sister like to gang up on me and constantly disrespect me and they tell me my feelings don't matter and that how I feel doesn't matter because I'm the youngest. So I told her that I don't want any type of relationship with them period and that I'll do my chores around the house without issue and ask for things when needed but other than that I don't want any kind of relationship. Am I wrong for that? They talk down on me constantly and when I say anything back I get hit.

Question: How do I regain my parents trust?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 09:58 AM PDT

I've been grounded for a while for getting caught lying and drinking - they took my phone and stuff and told me I couldn't go out or anything for a month. So last week I got an old phone from a friend to use and they found it and are grounding me for even longer. They are disappointed and took my laptop and don't trust me anymore - what do I do to regain their trust? I want to just be ungrounded again.

Question: Am I grounded forever?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 09:46 AM PDT

One day my dad asked if my report card was good, I said it was. I thought it was all A's and B's and 1 C. but a week later. it was report card day. I was on the bus and my report card said Sowing: F Math: C- PE: B+ Science: D ELA: A Art: A- Social Studies A I thought. Uh oh! When I got there my dad said I was grounded for a week for lying. But 2 days later. I got an F on a test giving me another D for my last semester. And my step mom completely freaked out. She told me to get my Xbox phone and Computer. She said if I lie again She will sell it all and keep the money. I paid for the Computer and Xbox with my money. 1 week after that I was asked if I had bad grades And I came clean and said I had 1 D. My dad went on a breakdown and threw a form at me and said. "you're going to military school." Then slammed our door very hard. Then I decided to run away. My real mom's mom was a mile away. so I went there and my step mom caught me halfway and brought me back and sat me on my bed. She said when your dad gets home you will really have it. I'm still grounded now. I even get yelled at for simply watching my brother play his video game She said, No TV, no video games, no "fun books." (said in quotes) And if I "lie" one more time I will get new spankings everyday. I don't know what to do. This is my 6th week going and I've only been allowed to read boring books. A couple times whole my step mom was at work. My dad let me play my Phone till she got back. But my step mom won't let up Finishing Up: My dad thinks my punishment has gone to far now. but my step mom won't unground me. She yells at me daily and She hasn't yelled at my brother at all I don't know if she favorites him but I don't know how much more I can handle. I'm 12 and in 7th grade BTW

Question: Will I have a say on where my sister will go?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 09:41 AM PDT

My parents are wanting a divorce because my mother is an alcoholic and it is tearing us up. I am legally old enough to choose which parent to go with, and I am choosing my dad. My mom, however, wants to take my sister, and I am afraid that she may not get a say because she is not old enough to choose yet. If my parents do go through with the thing, I do not want my sister to be with my mother because she is very naïve and trusting, and this may get her hurt or worse. (i.e. Getting in the car with my very drunk mother.) Will I get a say, or will I just have to convince her?

My mum has been acting really wierd lately. She has been sleeping all day and is very sick. I kept asking her whats wrong and she says theres nothing . I was talking to her last night, and she told me she has a lump in her boob (breast cancer) she told me not to tell anyone because no one knows ( not even my dad or siblings) just me and her. Im only 15, i dont know what im going to do because ive been put in such a hard position. My mum is refusing to go to the doctor and says that she doesnt want any treatment, but its so difficult to keep my mouth shut because i dont want to be the reason of her death. Ive been continuously crying since yesterday in my room . I dont want her to die . I dont know how im going to cope without her. If she dies im never going to forgive myself because it would be my fault. Ive been put in such a difficult position and i really dont know what to do . Im hopeless. I dont know whether i should tell someone, but i know she ll never forgive me for it. She says that if god wants her to die, then thats it . Im the youngest in my family , and I would really appreciate some advice 😭 Thanks guys

Question: Is it wrong for a 17 year old to wear thongs?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 09:15 AM PDT

My mom always calls me disgusting or a whore for wearing them. She even goes through my underwear drawers searching for them and if she does, she makes me throw them away and calls me gross. She owns a billion of them and is actually a stripper for a living so I don't understand why she calls me disgusting or calls me names for it. I mean it's just underwear that was specifically made for woman and I am in fact a woman.

Question: How do I get over my sorrow at Easter about not being able to be part of the family?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 07:50 AM PDT

My mom is a very bitter person. As a result as I have noted in other questions on here we're not allowed to see her family. I am only 15 and can't do as I want. Easter is four weeks away and it will be another painful reminder that I'm not as good as my cousins. As always my mom will say no when my aunt asked if we want to come and last year she didn't even ask us. Christmas is the only time a year I stand any hope of seeing family. I've asked my mother before to let me go and have someone pick me up and she says no way. So we go to my Dad sisters house where all of her in-laws are there. His sister is really nice and I like her a lot but she has no kids. Her in-laws are not related to us. So I feel really really bad and sad. My mom's issue with her family is that they got more in her father's estate them she did. Also her dad drank a lot of alcohol and she thinks they covered up for him but I was an infant when he died so that didn't affect my lifetime at all. So how do I get through Easter in four weeks and the pain that it brings? The pain is that I'm not as good as my cousins but there's nothing I can do about it. I am a second rate relative because of my mom. My mom does not want to forgive.

Question: My mom tells me about her and my Dad's sex life. I am 16 so is this normal mother son talk?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 07:44 AM PDT

For example when my dad was in a bad mood the other day my mom said that she was going to have to give him sex thinking that was why he was moody. She also tells me about her brothers sex life as his wife confided stuff in her.

Question: Are my parents going too far?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 07:21 AM PDT

Around 2 months ago my dad put his hands around my neck, it was a stupid arguement and I'm quick tempered so I went to my room to save myself from saying things/talking back to him and I closed my door. He said comes running up the stairs and slams my door open and pushed me against the wall, and put his hands around my neck, I couldn't breathe, I started having a panic attack and he just walked away. He's a good dad though, he buys me stuff and takes care of me etc. It really left me confused. And he did this before to my older sister. I also had marks from where he grabbed my neck. And today my mum and dad were out buying food and I did all my chores ironing,dishes,bathrooms, dusting, hoovering, cleaned the rooms etc, and when they got back my mum seemed to be in a pretty bad mood. She came up to my room and I was sitting on my bed and she yelled at my to stop being a lazy b-tch, I was shocked and said,"What?? I did my chores" she then walks up and takes my phone and iPad away?? (I'm using my old phone rn) At this point I was mad so I said What did you do that for!! I did all the chores. She then hit me 7times! I looked at her and said, How much times are you gonna hit me ! Seriously! My mum then said "As much as I f-cking want" and walked away. I'm really confused by all this, I'm a 13yr old girl, I've heard stories about abusive parents but my parents treat me really well, I have everything I want. What should I do?

Question: My mom doesn't give me privacy?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 04:50 AM PDT

For example, she always comes to my room without knocking. She also tells me to have the door of my room open during the days. What does she think I'm doing there, drugs or something? I have always been a nice kid and never done anything illegal, so I don't see why she wouldn't trust me enough. I'm a teenager and I need my privacy. I can't even masturbate or anything, unless I do it really quickly in the shower, or when my family isn't at home (which doesn't happen that often). It's also just making me uncomfortable. I have asked her to knock (my room doesn't have a lock either), but she just doesn't care. Even the times when she knocks, she comes inside right after it before I have any time to react. And there's other stuff too. Every time I'm on my phone she asks soemthing like "what are you doing" or "who are you texting", and sometimes she "borrows" my phone to look trough my messages (although she never tells that's what it is, she's always like "can i borrow your phone to look up something", but I can clearly see she goes to my messages). She's constantly asking me about my private life and relationships (and I do talk to her about stuff, but I don't want to share literally everything with her). I guess she has the right to worry for me, but it's really starting to get annoying. If I try to approach her about it, she just goes "why would it matter, do you have something to hide?".

Question: Is this emotional abuse?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 04:25 AM PDT

Throughout the years my dad would call me dumber than a dog, stupid, *****, ***, jackass, smartass, also yelled at me in my face asking me countlessly "DO YOU HAVE DEPRESSION? DO YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF? HUH? HUH?" once I freaked out as a child thinking something was in my eye and he grabbed my head a shook it(didn't hurt) and yelled "LOOK DO YOU ******* SEE ANYTHING DO YOU SEE ANYTHINGI he doesn't treat my other siblings this way, he also doesn't really give me money unless if he feels guilty, otherwise he always talks about how proud he is about my other siblings. I remember I told my parents I was staying at my friends house late, and he called me at 9:30 yelling at me to come home, saying he's disappointed how late I'm staying over and never listening, and that I shouldn't come home, and that i'm a disappointment when my sister would stay out until 1 am every night.He got mad at me when I came downstairs he(M) said don't look at me let your dog inside, me: Ok M: don't look at me like that me: ok *walks to door and opens it* M: runs towards me towering over me yelling "stop with the bullshit!!" then slams the door, but acts all happy when my mom comes back, I love my dad he's good to my other siblings and makes good money to support us but I also hate him I'm 18 now and it sucks but its confusing because every time he acts this way for years he always says sorry later that day. I thought it was my fault for not having a good relationship with him but idk now. The only person I feel like I trust is my 26 year old brother because he's always been there for me, and idk if I should tell him or not. And its confusing because sometimes hes a good dad, but one little thing will set him off, hes only mean when no one is around in the room, everyone says to him what a good father he is and that he never yells, idk why hes different with me, i've always been the quiet child. He also threatened to get rid of my pug(whom never does anything wrong; house trained)

Question: Offended by a family member?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 02:26 AM PDT

My sister in law (husbands sister) recently threw a birthday party for her kid and invited moms to bring their kids and even my other sis in law (brother s wife) but just told my husband to bring our son over instead of inviting me as well. We are close but not best friend s and I expected an invite. I initially thought all moms dropped of their kids but she posted pictures on social media and I feel left out. She was at our house yesterday and avoided the topic. My husband didnt mention anything. On the other hand she always expects us to invite her to vacations and everywhere else because she wants to always tag along. Should I tell her how I feel? I do understand that she has the right not invite me but my feelings are hurt. The worst part is that she will come to us and ask if we can plan a vacation together because she cant do it on her own. I apologize I sound like a kid with my feelings being hurt but I just feel so left. I thought about sending her a thank you for inviting at least my son but mentioning that she could have invited me as well. Does this sound like a good idea? I just want her to know that her decision although her own was hurtful to me.

Question: Mom is mad?

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 02:09 AM PDT

I'm 19 years old, and I told my mom I was going to be home by midnight. However, my mom has always been strict with me. I got home late at 2 am, but for good reason; my friend was driving and his tire got flat, so we had to wait an hour for his dad to arrive with a jack so we could change it. I understand I arrived late and has a commitment to uphold, but at the same time, I cannot control events like these. I just want to know what you guys think. Am I in the wrong? Thanks in advanced for your responses.
