Family: Question: My mom always insults me?

Question: My mom always insults me?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 02:33 PM PST

She calls me the following word: Retard, imbecile, a $$hole, dumba $$, moron etc. My mom is always verbally abusing me and it's holding me back! She always say that I am so terribly stupid. I'm a guy with good grades and many friends. My teachers always say compliments about me. My friends say that I am fit but my mom says the opposite. When ever I ask her a math question, she says "THIS IS SO EASY! WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID!" And then she rants on about paying for my school tuition was a huge mistake. When I eat more than usual, she says, "The only thing that you're good at is eating. How did I raise such a dumb boy?" Ok, I admit I'm not the best at math and computer programming. But do I deserve these comments? I like jogging, horseback riding, writing creative fiction. This proves that I'm NOT mentally retarded. Whenever I tell her that I'm not the wors she calls me, she threatened to beat me. she also says, "Wow! Such high self esteem for a stupid person." What should I do? Appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Question: Distance myself from a toxic mother until college?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 01:58 PM PST

I'm in my junior year of high school, and am counting the days until I get out of this house. When my mom is sober, she's fine. Whats unbearable to me is when she drinks. She got a DWI with me in the car back when I was 8, and I'll admit that since then her alcoholism has gotten a lot better. She still drinks, but instead of everyday, it's maybe 3 out of 7 days a week. However occasionally, she gets drunk and then it affects me. The smallest thing sets her off, and then she comes into my room yelling and cursing, and putting me down, basically making me feel like the biggest loser on the planet. The most recent one was her exploding on me for saying (jokingly) that one of the spoiled rich kids at my school was jealous because my teacher announced that I got a 100 on my test and she gave me a dirty look. She blew my phone up with 15 texts saying stuff like "What do you have to be jealous of" and "Shut up and get a life" I came home and heard her slurring her words, so I went straight upstairs to my room like I always do when she's drunk. She bursted into my room and continued saying "She's white and you're black. Why would she be jealous of you?" "Nobody is jealous of you, you're a black b**ch" (Exactly her words). This is one of the many angry tirades that I've been getting for years now. When i was younger, I used to think it was my fault, but now I realized she's just a bitter person. How do I distance myself from her when I have to live in her house for the next 2 years?

Question: My mum never lets me see my friends?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 01:57 PM PST

I'm 15 and my mum never wants me to go out with my friends. Every time I ask can I go out with them she says no. I do my homework and she just tells me to stay in and read or watch tv. All my friends meet up and I miss out on all the social gatherings. My mum makes me feel bad when I ask her can I go somewhere but I don't know why I should feel bad as she always just says no. She gets snappy and says "do whatever you want, you do anyway!" But I never go out without asking her and she says no so I never go out! My dad is at work all the time and she's a housewife and after she's done her housework she wants to read in her room alone so it's not like she even wants my company. I'm starting to find myself socially withdrawn and uncomfortable meeting new people and I think it's because I feel I can't make friendships with people as my mum doesn't want me to have any friends. Please why is she like this?

Question: What do I do about my step-mother insulting my real mother to my step-siblings?

Question: What do I do when my grandmother gets mad at me for visiting my other grandmother and not her on a holiday where I can only see one?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 01:20 PM PST

I see the grandmother who will be mad at me twice a week so for a holiday like Easter I like to go see the out of town grandmother I only see a few times a year. My local grandmother gets mad and my mother agrees to stay home for her mother (the one who is getting mad). How do I get her not to act mad at me or how do I respond when she does? I am anticipating this come Easter like it happened last summer. Christmas isn't an issue since the out of town grandmother is in town.

Question: My Dad is an alcoholic and everyone at work wants to know whose fault it is. Why does it have to be someone's fault?

Question: What to do about parents?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:41 PM PST

So i am in my 30s and i live alone but i live close to my family. I noticed over the last 7 years that we dont have much of a relationship even though i have tried over the last couple of years. I have started to fall out with them because over the last couple of years they have done some stuff that i dont believe is right. One of the things is when i got really sick and i couldnt get an appt in to see the doctor and i thought i needed to go to the er. I remember telling my mother i was really sick and she told me to "take myself to the hospital" and she didnt want to be involved. Also just little things like if i ask for advice on something like an car accident i was in or my job - they refuse to even be involved. I never ask them for money and i only ask them for advice in urgent situations but they just dont want to be involved in anything. The only reason i ask them is i dont have anyone else to ask. Do you think i should keep trying with them? It just gets trying after awhile and i feel all they do is hurt me time after time. Thank you for any advice.

Question: Anger from bullying. How to get anger out without revenge?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:40 PM PST

I really don't want to stoop that low to their level and say something horrible. What they said to me was bad but i could say worse. I really want to tell him, " you should go kill yourself just like your dad did". But i can't. I dont want to be like that. How do i get my anger out wothout revenge

Question: Should I start a go fund me?? Hate asking for help or hand outs but I need help!?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:25 PM PST

I left my abusive relationship of 4yrs,5mons ago. Since then I have been struggling to cope and get back on my feet. It is difficult as my ex took everything and what he couldn't take, he destroyed. He caused me to loose my condo, wrecked my car, caused me to loose my job, miscarry, because he messed up my car, I had no way of getting to school as he refused to take me or let me drive his car. I am 23 about to be 24 suffer from PTSD and currently live back at home with my parents. My mother is very ill and had brain surgery a yr ago. I cry every night thinking about the pain I endured and how much time I lost and everything he took from me. I want to start a new life but need financial help to pay for school tuition, a place to stay and a vehicle. I don't wanna ask ppl nor do I want to go back to fb for donations as I deleted it when me and my ex split because he was fb stalking me.i thought I'd share my DV story on gofundme to help attract people. Where can I advertise besides fb and, twitter and instagram?idw use any social media besides YouTube.

Question: Should I feel bad on Easter that my parents siblings and I are the only ones not to participate in the extended family holiday?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:23 PM PST

Every year this happens and I feel so sad but I can't get my parents to change it happens at Thanksgiving also. My mom doesn't like her siblings and so we don't participate but I don't get an invitation since I am assuming to be with my parents and I can't invite myself. Is it normal not to see family at Easter and how do I make up to myself for this loss? I'm missing out because of my mom's anger. I'm 22 but not able to just invite myself is that irritated before when I did it five years ago.

Question: Girlfriends grandma?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:23 PM PST

Yesterday my girlfriend's grandma was really stressing out my girlfriend. (her granms lives with her) We were going to go out to dinner, and girlfriend ended up having a melt down over her grandma. Her grandma was yelling at her, saying how the weather is bad (it was just a little windy 30mph, but it was fastly declining by the hour. Her grandma was saying to the f××× oit! You are risking your life mother f***er! I don't care what the f*** you do! You can die! Watch the God dann news. My girlfriend accident drop something! And her grandma starts to scream over the noise that something happen! She kept saying she can't be left alone! She has to wait til her father gets home. (her dad didn't care, and already knew she had plans) All because it was a little windy outside. It can be a daily thing! It really gets to my girlfriend sometimes. Once her grandma even accused her of stealing her money from her purse. Then 15 mins later she found it in her purse, and her gramda blew up that she is trying to mess with her head and even went threw my girlfriend's things because she was convinced she hide her phone book too, but couldn't let my girlfriend help her look for it in her room

Question: Mother and sister keep arguing and screaming at each other, it gets me upset and interferes with me making homework. What do I do?!?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 11:22 AM PST

So im a 15 year old boy. I live with my mother, father and sister who is 22 years old. My mother and sister are ALWAYS arguing with each other. Which leads to screaming, crying and a flying pillow from my mom. I've always kinda let it roll because I got used to it. But it's getting worse everyday! And then it happened....they were screaming and my mother hit my sister so hard which caused her to scream and cry. She went to the gym crying. I heard it happen from upstairs, studying for an exam I had the next day. My sister keeps saying to me that she hates our parents. And now you're thinking. Where the hell my dad is....Well he is kind of ignorant and "annoying" when trying to explain something to him. Which causes more arguing between my mother and father! And im so scared that if I tell my dad that they keep fighting each other like that, my mother and father will have a big fight too. It happened before. And both my sister and mother forbid me to tell this to anyone. I do know that the main 2 problems is that my mom is very overdramatic and my sister is kind of aggressive . but still WHAT DO I DO?! I feel like I just cant take it anymore. I keep getting depressed and f#ucking my exams up. I just cant study while our family is breaking apart like this! Please tell me what to do, im desperate Thank you for your time to read this

Question: How do parents still love their kids even when they hurt them?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 10:15 AM PST

How do parents still love their kids even when they disobey them, hurt them, go behind their backs, lie or deceive them? Usually if someone does something cruel to hurt me I cut them off and stop socializing with that person. Or if someone says they love you but contstantly lies and hurts you they dont really love you so obviously you wouldnt love them back right? Well long story short, i just want to know why and how do parents still love their kids even when the hurt them? Im 21 and ive worked with kids and babysat them theyve hurt me and now i dont like kids and am never having any.

Question: What would you do about boyfriends family if you were me?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 10:03 AM PST

Relationship started with casual interactions with the family. Now though... the sister (whose 25) ignores me in person and text because I unfollowed and re followed her on instagram and would ask her 15 year old friend why she doesnt like me just out of curiosity (we went to church together).. The mom and I used to be somewhat close but now that has faded. The Dad will not allow me to come to family dinners/holidays as he says its for more serious relationships even though we have been together for 2 years and all his sisters boyfriends are ALWAYS much more than welcome to come to anything they'd like.. Am I crazy for being bothered by this? I feel like everything I do just annoys them and no matter how nice I try to be by just saying hello or making the family they're favorite cookies, just nice things like that I just feel like I am consistently annoying. (I don't over do anything, I just make a general effort). I feel like even if I was to annoy the sister or anyone else shouldn't that be something you can get over and move on with especially being adults? Its just so different from my family dynamic!

Question: My mom hit me when I she found out I was molested?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 10:02 AM PST

so when I was 7 I was playing in my backyard when the little boy came (8 and a halve) to my fence he asked if he could lend my bike I said "okay but I have to go with you" because I m not allowed to leave my bike alone. so went to the play ground and there was a group of teens and said if I wanted my bike back because they took it and said "yes" then they said I had to it first with the little boy i didn t know what theyou ment by that so I just said yes and when we went to the bushes the boy dropped his pants and I wanted to run but they blocked my and said that i had to do it when my mom found out she slapped me and said it was my fault for going with them and that my dad would kill me if he found out. I am now 21 and still having anxiety attacks from what happened.

Question: Advice on dealing with family member who stole inheritance?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 09:48 AM PST

When my mother died, she left me money to go to college, but left it in the care of my aunt (her sister) to give to me as I needed it. A couple years later, as I was halfway through college, without asking or telling me, she gave 10,000 to my uncle (her brother) to help him out of financial trouble. I was promised that it would be paid back. Then I was told my uncle was in poor health and couldn't afford to pay it back. Then my uncle passed away, and I was told I'd get money from his estate, and that never happened. By the time I got fed up with the excuses, the statue of limitations had passed, so I have no legal recourse. I didn't want to sue a family member (I guess I was too nice... lesson learned.) I ended up finishing school with student loans. Now, years later, my fiancee and I are looking at buying house, and I keep thinking "Man, that 10K would sure be useful right now." I've been told by my sister that my aunt has no money to pay me back with, but her and her husband can afford vacations, hunting trips, etc. I've already been told by a lawyer it's too late to do anything, but the word he used to describe her actions were "deadbeat debtor." Should I let this go? I'm still pretty furious about this years later. I never even got an apology, and my whole family is just very nonchalant about the whole thing and my sister rolls her eyes when I bring it up. Should I let this go? Am I carrying this anger for too long? What would you do?

Question: What would you all do?

Question: I need opinions on the best way to deal with this problem.?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 09:22 AM PST

I am 17, and i live with an unbiological aunt. My mom abandoned me when i was 12 by putting me on a plane to live with my father and his girlfriend. Both my parents were physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive towards me. My father started when i was in 9th grade. I wont get into too much detail, but around the end of 11th grade I started to fight back. Then when it escalated to far i spoke to people at my school. Thus, how i ended up with my aunt. Unfortunately, My father has not be supporting me and its very hard as i am graduating and i am not prepared for my future. I have no money. He has taken all my child support money. I got back in touch with my mom and told her my situation, she has contacted child services but we wont hear back from them for another two months. My aunt doesnt have legal custody and my father will stop at nothing to destroy me about this situation. What should i do?

Question: I'm financially dependent on a previously abusive parent, what should I do?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 04:58 AM PST

I was brutally beaten by my dad when I was a child from around ages 6 to 10. I'm 19 now and have been having flashbacks of the abuse recently which are fuelling this incredible anger of mine. I was too afraid to call the police as a child because my dad would threaten to kill me if I did and, of course, I didn't know any better. The thing is, I'm an adult now, which means that if I attack him I'll be sent to prison; this makes me feel enraged. I'm completely lost as to what to do because I'm financially dependent on him...Is there any way I could get him sent to prison and receive some kind of support for myself?

Question: My Dad is an alcoholic and I can't seem to get him to stop. Will he go sober for good if I hide his car keys and pour out the liquir?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 04:43 AM PST

Vodka and Scotch are his main drinks. Mom is out of town so I thought I could fix his alcoholism while she is gone. I am 16. He's been this way since I was born. I sometimes feel I must have made him like this since I am the oldest and he wasn't this way before. Sorry I spelled liquor wrong

Question: Why did she take off her glasses when she saw me?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 04:34 AM PST

Me and my ex friend kinda encountered each other in the bathroom and I was rushing to get out but I noticed there was no space because it was so crowded so she stared at me as if to stand beside her by the corner then I noticed her blushing and taking off her glasses. I got too uncomfortable so I left. Why did she take off her glasses in front of me? The thing that got me the most was that her face was turning bright red and she kept on trying to get my attention by staring at me. Does she like me or something or what on earth was she trying to do anyway?

Question: My sister is a cruel narcissist person. Why do my parents expect me to love her when they told me to stay away from my aunt that was same?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 04:23 AM PST

My aunt was also a crawl narcissist and still is to some degree. So about 10 years ago they told me to stay away from the air yet they expect me to be good my sister. Why the hypocrisy? My sister is a cruel and selfish person she never thinks about anyone but herself. Occasionally she will be in a good mood and reach out to my parents but usually she just yells at them and give them directives. They cave to her narcissistic demands every time my mother especially.

Question: How to prevent family members from sponging money off us?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 02:33 AM PST

One of my cousins is trying to get more money out of his Dad's family-not in terms property but even money for expenditures. Our family is doing reasonably well and we have helped them in the past. However, my cousin and his family have very luxurious habits which no one can afford to fund. Whenever his family complains, everyone looks to us for help. We are a middle-class family and we have our expenditures too. My cousin and his siblings do have a job but they seem to spend more than they earn. Is there anyway we can avoid this situation or tell them upfront that this is best we can do?

Question: Our son has turned into such a different person? Over the top fashion, turned agnostic and a complete different mentality?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 02:11 AM PST

We are simple family from India & our son who aged 22 is going crazy with all these modern fashion trends.When he started college,he was decent looking,well dressed,fat & chubby(top left pic).But over 4 years he started all this nonsense styles as sees on TV.Extreme undercut,thick beards,hipster glasses,magnet ear rings and he lost so much weight.He lately didn't go to the salon for like several months & now has long hair(like in the down right pic).I was shocked by his new look.He tells me,he is continuing to grow out his hair,so he can put it in a bun & is later going to get tattoos,real ear piercings,lighter eye lenses and even hair highlights! I'm clearly am disturbed to the thought of him doing that.The body is the temple of God & he is spoiling it with all this fake.We are devout Christians,but my son now a days considers himself as agnostic.I'm not against fashion,but I feel he is going way over board.He even started this thing called 'face contouring' by applying make up to his face (as in the black and white pic,but Isn't this what girls do?)what would others think?I feel embarrassed and like a failure.I've had my neighbours and relatives here in India who have seen him through social media ask me what's he been up to.How do I effectively make him understand that he is spoiling his image & is getting too carried away with the media,but he rather be himself?Despite my attempts he won't listen to me After requesting him to shorten his hair & restore his faith in God?

Question: Should this annoy me?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:52 AM PST

My parents have a strict "lock the doors policy" at night. Well a couple months ago, my sister and her boyfriend moved in because they had a baby. Every night they go out shorty after we all go to sleep and the comeback leaving the front door unlocked. I found the door open this morning at 3 am because they didn't close it all the way. Who actually lives with their front door open at night? I'm actually really triggerred.

Question: Am I a bad sister?

Posted: 09 Mar 2017 12:31 AM PST

So me and my little brother are pretty close in age only 3 years apart. I remember how I used to always defend him against my older siblings (I thought they were being mean but they were just being older siblings lol) and my older brother used to yell at me for defending him so much. I guess that's kind of what made me stop defending him and I didn't think about it until now. He's not really a bad kid he was just .. a kid but in school he used to get into fights and fights with other kids etc.. he's not at all small for his age so he could handle his self but sometimes he couldn't and I felt bad because I stopped getting in the middle of it like I did agaibst my siblings. I didn't know why until now but I think that's the reason. Now I'm 16 and he's 13.. we mind our own businesses but I think that has more to do with the whole older sister and annoying younger brother thing. And sometimes I just get an attitude with him for no reason and I feel really bad about that because I remember how we used to be. It's like I can'5 help it, you know they say "no one can get on your nerves worse than a sibling" thats how I feel. I know I dont hate him and if that was the case now, I would defend him in a heartbeat but idk sometimes he's just so annoying and I feel bad for feeling that way

Question: In debt and parents won't lend me money?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 09:29 PM PST

I'm 20 and a university student. I live with my parents and pay for uni and costs of living with money from student loans. My parents don't give me any money and haven't for years. Through some frankly really stupid mistakes, I've already spent all my money for this term (to my credit this is the first time his has happened). I now have no money for a month, and I asked them to *borrow* £300 to cover my debts until then. My parents are well off so it's not the case of them not being able to afford it, but they won't budge, and I don't understand why they can't help me out since I never ask them for anything. My credit rating is going to sh*t, and while I should be focusing on my exams I've just been stressing out over my debts. I know the obvious answer is to get a job but I'm waiting until after my exams (22nd of this month) to do that because I can't afford to be taking more time away from my revision- failing these exams would mean failing the year. I also can't call the companies I owe money to to set up a payment plan, because I'm already on one. I basically have to make a choice between letting my credit rating go to sh*t or getting a job asap and letting my studies go to sh*t! What do I do?

Question: I feel guilty for calling CPS. Did I do the right thing?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 09:24 PM PST

I had to report my sister to CPS tonight, and I m feeling aweful about it! My sister and I have never been close, but I adore her 3 children (ages 13 11 & 2). A while back, I heard from another family member that the middle child said that dad had wrapped a belt around his neck choking him. I had hoped the family member would report the abuse, that way I was not reporting "hearsay." Needless to say, nothing was done. Now I have heard (from the same family member) that the day after my sister had a bad night and was extremely mad, the oldest child had a fat, busted lip. He didn t say what happened, but his dad was standing in the room and simply replied, "He ll be ok." Also, the conditions they are living in, are horrible (dirty, smelly, simply awful). I hate the thought of those innocent children suffering, so I made a report... Now I m feeling so much! First, I feel super guilty. I m afraid that the kids mom and dad will be angry and take it out on the kids. I m afraid that my family (particularly, the family member that didn t report this) will crack under the strain, and everyone will hate me. I m also worried that ill be left standing alone (I mean who would trust me after this?) once the dust settles... I honestly did what I thought was in the kids best interest. I noted in the report that my husband and I would happily care for them as long as neceasary, but how do I cope with this feeling that I betrayed my own flesh and blood? Honestly, did I do the right thing?

Question: Advice for considering moving away once an adult, despite parents wishes?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 09:22 PM PST

My parents both moved to a town Montana from pretty big cities. The town I live in has about 30,000 people, I was born here and have never moved, nor will I probably move until I become an adult. My parents are fully intent on me staying in this town if not *maybe* stretching it and having me move to another town in Montana. Though I don't dislike Montana, there's a lot of things I don't like about it. Also, I really don't want to be cooped up in one town my whole life :/ . Has anyone been in a similar situation, any advice for considering going to a different place, and/or convincing parents of the worth in doing this? Thanks :)

Question: When is enough ,enough to turn a grandchild back over to the state!?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 08:23 PM PST

My cousin is 16 , she has already plotted to burn down my aunts house when she was almost 15. She has done multiple things, like date a 19 year old when she was 14, do drugs, and sleep with a ton of boys. Today she took my aunts new car about 120 mi away from home with multiple boys in the car. My Aunt has a broke foot at the moment , (not caused by her). The reason she doesn't give her back, she promised her daughter that she would take care of her, that was while she was in the funeral home starring down at her daughter . I know she made that promise, but I wish she would think about her life and find out that some promises you just can't keep or it will hurt you in the end. I need help telling her enough is enough , because everyone has tried (SHE WON'T TAKE HER BACK)!!!!!. I need a way to get my cousin back to the state

Question: My uncle seldom sees his daughter (now an adult) because in seeing her he;d have to see her mother (his ex). Is this okay to do?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 08:07 PM PST

Or does he have an obligation to be close to his daughter even if it means seeing the ex? I learned the daughter is hurt by her Dad not making more of an effort. He does see his two sons more but they live near him. The daughter lives 9 hours away near her mother and step-father who apparently come over daily.

Question: Ways to cope with sadness after leaving family?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 08:07 PM PST

I went to see family recently that I have not seen in almost a decade. I was only 3 when we moved to America, so I don't remember them at all. I couldn't recognize any of their faces. I have a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles there. I'm not the type of person that cries easily, but I just felt so emotional when we were leaving at the airport, it was so hard not to cry. I don't cry in public because my brother would make fun of me. :( It's been almost a week since we got back home in America and every night since then, I've been crying whenever I think about them, especially when looking at pictures (when I'm alone). Although we only stayed for a month, it felt like I knew them for so long. I had so much fun with them at our vacation, it was the best month of my life! To be honest, I didn't open up or start conversations with them a lot, but they made me feel welcome and they were so nice. I feel so sad now... plus, we won't see them again in at least 2-3 years. It really hurts to know that I can't see them in person for that long. Any tips for me to deal with it?(And sorry for the long paragraph)

Question: My great-uncle died yesterday at age 70. I would see him once a year but didn't really interact much with him. Should I feel guilty?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 08:03 PM PST

He was quiet and I was talkative so I would say the word hi and Happy Holidays and that was about it. Twice I visited with him. He was a good guy but not warm. So should I feel bad I didn't make more of an effort? I am 25. If he had been a grandfather or Dad I would have tried harder but great-uncle I didn't feel as obliged. I will be going to the funeral Monday but only have minimal memories.

Question: My twin and I always hang out naked together. Does anyone else do the same or similar?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 07:58 PM PST

My twin brother and I have shared a room all our lives and are as close as brothers/best friends can be, for the past 7 years whenever we're in our room or have the house to ourselves we get completely naked and just hang out, yes we get erections and yes we masturbate, no we do not do incestuous activities. Does anyone else do this with their twin or siblings?

Question: How should I tell my mom about my grades?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 07:44 PM PST

I just checked my grades and I have two B's. I already got 2 B's last quarter and my mom wants me to do better, because I usually do better. Grades are already put in and my teacher won't respond to the emails I sent him. I'm really worried because I didn't expect this and I don't know how I'm going to tell her without getting into tears. Any advice?

Question: Moms would you have done this?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 06:50 PM PST

I just got home from picking up my daughter at her friends house. Since I did not go in anyplace and was only gone for 10 minutes I drove barefoot and left my shoes at home.

Question: People at school make fun of me for having 2 dads?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 06:43 PM PST

Kids at my school found out I have 2 dads and now they're bullying me for it saying that I'm gonna grow up to be gay and other things and they say my real parents didn't want me because i'm probably gay and it makes me so sad and i'm scared to talk to my dads about it because i know they'll go up to the school and it'll get even worse what do I do

Question: I don't want to look at my mom.?

Posted: 08 Mar 2017 06:02 PM PST

I'm currently 11 and I can't handle this anymore. My mom has been an alcoholic since I was seven years old. She drinks every night and gets drunk every night. I can't even look at her. I love her so much but she is getting ridiculous. She talks to herself about how hard she works and always victimizes herself. My dad tried to help but she is the reason she is like this. She caught him do lots of things and couldn't handle it so started drinking. He left us because he couldn't do it. She got a new boyfriend. He is very nice and took us to Florida. They have been arguing a lot lately and since then she's been drunk ever night. I don't want to do through the same exact thing. There are so many things I want to say but wouldn't feel right to say them. A couple times the cops got involved. My uncle is a cop and he had to come over. He handcuffed her and she screams so loud that I heard it from my room. She did this until three in the morning. One time she escaped the house even with me locking it. I tried to catch her but she pushed me away. I'm pretty sure the whole neighborhood heard. The cops found her a local park on her face passed out. She refused to get help. She won't admit that she has a problem. It's pretty bad I'm saying this to strangers on the internet but I just need to vent. She just asked me if I ate even though I literally just ate in front of her. She just mumbled that my brother lives off of chips and he heard. When she's sober she is wonderful. Please, advice?? I remember once I left her a long text message when she was very drunk. She saw it in the morning and cried. It worked for a couple days but that's it. She works a lot so I only see her some time after 4. I just go in my room and mind my own business.. I'm going to talk to her about it after school tomorrow before she drinks. Right now she is passed out in bed sleeping. Thanks for your answers. I'll keep you updated. :)
