Okay, so this has NOTHING to do with me. However, this has everything to do with my parents. Two days ago my parents got in a heated argument which led to physical violence and caused my mom to go to the hospital and my dad to spend a day in a half in jail. I wasn't there to witness the fight however both my parents had a different opinion on how it went down. From my dad's point of view they both were fighting over the keys and just as my mom pulled back she accidentally stabbed herself in her left palm. From my mom's point of view she said she was stabbed by my dad with the keys. My mom was bleeding profusely and instead of going to get first aid she got in the car and drove the our neighbors where they called the cops. My dad got in his car and drove to the library. My mom was taken to the hospital and when my dad came back he was arrested and taken to the county jail. Now, here's the thing. I know my dad is innocent because I know he would never hurt my mom in any way. Even if he was legit pissed off he would never physically attack her. He also has never been to jail and has no criminal record at all. On the other hand, my mom is a constant liar and changes her stories which in turn make no sense in the end. (I should mention she is a 4'10" Filipino woman where English is her second language which makes it even more difficult to understand her.) I should also mention that she has indeed physically attacked my dad in the past by throwing objects at him giving him minor cuts but we never called the cops. I bailed my dad out yesterday and my mom realized she couldn't live a day without my dad. Now, (get this) my mom doesn't want my dad to get charged for a M1 Domestic violence charge. I have no idea what she told the police and she won't tell me. And here's the thing, she won't admit that she stabbed herself because she's afraid that she might get in trouble. I have no idea what's going to happen. Apparently, DM is very serious in my state and my dad could face up to six months in jail and a $1000 fine. His court date is on the 8th. Also, I apologize for making this question so long. This is my first yahoo question and I'm not really sure what's important and unimportant.

When I received the news my brother came into my room crying and woke me from a nap, he had said my mom needed independence and felt like she was never alone, meaning she went from going to college to getting married straight away. I kept asking my brother if he was joking and I waited for him to smile and laugh it off, but he didn't. I felt a punch in my stomach and it didn't go straight to my head even now. I dont and can't ever imagine them not together... I can't. What do I DO NOW I NEED HELP

So I left family sharing because my parents wouldn t turn off ask to but and I m 16 but it still comes up. my same age brother has all the same settings as me in terms of iCloud and everything else and he also isn t in the family sharing and doesn t have the problem. How do I fix this? Also my parents said they aren t getting any requests I send.

I live in washington state and im 15, I don t want to goto my dads every other weekend. Please help!

I know that this is a controversial topic and I know many people have different opinions and perspectives, but I want you to just stop typing the "yes they do because they're your parents and they raised you" and just listen to what I have to say. I was born and raised in a decent home- barely enough money to get by- not much to spend on luxuries. I don't take this for granted- I really do appreciate the fact that my parents created me, raised me, sent me to school, fed and clothed me, and more. The only complaint I really have is the way they used to treat me. The treated me like I was some worthless kid that would never aspire to be a "somebody." Like I was just some phase in their life that they had to go through and after 18 years they would be free of having to be my guardians. When I was young, I used to be physically, verbally, and emotionally abused all the time. I like to think of it as "toughening me up for the future", but I can't help but think, what if they had raised me another way? Would I be better of? Don't get me wrong, I do love my parents but I wonder if they really did deserve my respect. Without a doubt, they deserve my appreciation for the sheer fact that they created me. But to say the say the same for respect? I don't think so. In my opinion, parents need to earn their respect the same way others do. No matter how much money they put into raising me, if I can't even remember a pleasant memory with my parents, don't I have the right to believe they don't deserve respect? I can't imagine respecting someone that treats their own child as if he's just a burden. To do so would be like wishing to become that person in the future. I certainly don't wish the same upbringing upon my child. Another thing I want to mention is that I was taught during my childhood to "admit my mistakes". When my parents and I used to talk, being that they're not perfect, they did sometimes make mistakes. I remember quite clearly that when I used to point them out, I would get yelled at. I would be called "disrespectful" and told that I took all of the things they gave me for granted. I remember that I pointed out the mistake with good intentions- I did not mean to be a "snob" and sneer at their faults. I also remember that at one point I stopped pointing out their errors in fear that I may get reprimanded. The only thing I earned from this was a vicious slap to the face and a loud "Why didn't you tell me? Too good to help your dad out?" I don't even know what to say. Is this the type of person I'm supposed to respect? I know that all parents aren't like this- I know many parents that love their child unconditionally and treat them like so. My question goes out to parents that treat their child like I have described above. I do live separately from my parents now and I pay for my own living. I do send money to my parents monthly and one day I hope that we can get together and talk again. Sadly, it seems like after I had moved out, they did not want to have anything to do with me anymore. I appreciate the fact that they created and raise me, but I also resent that they treated me the way they did. So I ask you again, do parents like these need to earn respect?

If speaking from personal experience, please state name your age and gender.

I am 19 years old, female, and I am living with my aunt's family (mom's sister), for 6 months because I am studying here. I am living with them because its in a different city than my own, and I cannot support myself financially to live on my own due to my school costs. I adjusted for the first 4 1/2 months, and now I feel like I can't live here any longer! All there personalities is different from mine and I feel less and less adjusted. I am so much happier when they are all at work and I am home alone. I am trying not to be selfish and I always try and be understanding of any situation. I always go along with them, but its getting so much harder, as I am not really hating it, but I feel as though I have no privacy or the peace of mind of being at home. I am a very sensitive person, so when someone argues or shouts, my heart pounds and I get heart aches. That seems to happen a lot lately when two individuals argue at this household. I know its very normal and I expect that in my house too, but I feel as though I need to distance away from everyone and away from all the shouting and screaming. I don't feel comfortable living here and there's not much I can do because I need to stay for another 1-1.5 months due to my studies. What can I do? How do I ignore this? I just need some advice and tips. My anxiety is getting worse everytime i think of being here.

I came home early from work and she had eyeliner on! I'm disappointed. She knows how I feel about young girls like her wearing makeup. I think that 14 Is too young, I didn't wear makeup until I was at least 18. And not to sound rude, but it really doesn't look good on her because she has pale skin. She doesn't know that I know, and I haven't said anything to her yet. What should I do?

I want my son to know all of the bad words, so he never says them without knowing and so he can tattle whenever he hears someone using them. However, I'm afraid he's gonna start using them if I give him access to the database. How do I avoid this conflict?

My family especially my Mom has brought a lot of pain to my life, it's very dysfunctional and I always feel very used. My Mom only call me when she wants money. When I was younger all I would hear was how my sister was prettier and I wasn't ever pretty enough and not was my skin color. I'm taking care of things I shouldn't and I just need a break. To find myself. I'm 26 haven't dated in years or lived life just taking care of everyone else.

My older brother is graduating & want to tell him how proud I am for all his accomplishments these 2 years. However, I don't want to use "proud" can anyone give me suggestions? Thank you.

Last night I had a sleepover with my friends and they wanted to get a snack so they went upstairs and went in the garage to get a water, they didn t know the alarm went off and they got caught and my parents think they were trying to go for beer or something. My parents are overly strict and my friends hate this because we were supposed to be in bed by 11:00 but we usually stay up much much longer, they wee caught at only 1:00 in the morning. My parents said they were going to talk to me when they got home and I m worried cuz I want to still be able to hang out with these friends of mine. We were also wrestling at around 2:00 in the morning which my parents got made at me again for. Please help saying what I should say to my parents to make them less strict and calm down, they are also mad because I didn t want them on my instagram account and snapchat account.

Alright start of the story. (To make this clear I have two brothers) So my middle brother was doing the prayer (islam) in the middle floor instead of the basement because my mom doesnt trust my brother to actually pray without being watched in the first floor. So they started to argue. But the arguement escelated real quick, my mother grabbed the ps4 and the ipad so my brother triess to stop her then they yelled at each other. I couldnt take it so I jumped in the conversation and yelled at the top of my lungs to try to stop them. My mom just went insame and yelled at both of us and said I am leaving both of you behind, I am taking your little brother with me. I will never feed you garbage you are not my children. Later my brother tried to settle the situation but my mom broke the ps4 completely and cussed him out. I had similiar problems to this which made me have very strong suicidal thoughts but I value my life now and I want to try and stop this. Our family didnt really have a good history and I just dont know what to do! What do I do? I really dont want the thoughts to return and I want our family to sustain a healthy relationship. Thank you for taking your time to read this, it means alot to me. I really love my family and I do not want my life to go to **** this early im only a freshmen!

My father was a nutjob who shot himself in the head when I was 10. Left nothing to the family but $50 in his wallet. My mother didn't have a job, was a stay-at-home mom and had two kids to raise, all of the bills for the house, a mortgage, etc, due. My grandmother (my mother's mom) was living in her car in a plaza parking lot, so she came to live with us around that time. She's paranoid schizophrenic and has some serious other mental problems going on. She never accomplished anything in her life, kept getting fired from jobs, didn't stay at jobs very long, etc. So she gets $750/month from Social Security. She's stuck on her daughter for the rest of her life. My mother has had various jobs over the years and has stayed at a lot of them for a long time. However, she was always content with being in clerk-like positions. Never advanced. Now at 58, she's barely making about $11/hr. I have an uncle who is in his mid-50's. He has accomplished much in life and is living much the same way. He never wanted to grow and make more money. At 50-something years old, he was "okay" with driving a truck around for $8.50/hr for years. I have a good-for-nothing brother that doesn't have anything to do with his family and has just turned crazy over the past couple of years. He has a job that pays a lot, but everything else in life that he does basically s|_|cks. Both myself and my mother got collections calls regarding him and his wife a while back. I get so disappointed. My childhood was horrible. I dove into working right after highschool, trying to help my mother, who my brother wouldn't help. He ran off at 18 and went wild, started having baby's momma drama with some random lady, etc. I feel like my whole family set my life up for failure when I was too young to do anything about it. I spent a lot of younger years trying to look after my mother, but she seems so ungrateful all of the time. She acknowledges that I have helped her and such, but she has never wanted to grow. She complains about money all of the time. I am beyond the age of when most people have their own families and I'm still trying to keep my mother and grandmother afloat. If I left, they'd basically lose the house and lose everything. Not making enough money. My mother could have been a lead/manager years ago. She said she doesn't want the stress. What does one do with such a scenario? Because I didn't go to college after high school, I'm kind of struggling financially. I have lots of experience, but I'm pondering some type of tech school or something. My social anxiety was horrible from 1st grade to 12th grade. Presenting/reading stuff in front of people was the worst for me and made me hate school completely. Are there any schools that I could go to where I wouldn't have to do such a thing, yet could learn a trade or something where I can earn more money? I'm very frugal and could easily do quite well on about $18 an hour, but I'm having a very hard time finding any jobs that pay that. My experience and work history caps me off at a general $13-$14 an hour max. Granted, I'd make more over time if I stayed at a place and grew. I just feel so unhappy. My childhood was poor and horrible. My family wasn't anything like any of my peers. Got any advice? Even with stuff like a girlfriend, the situations are different. I haven't had any "bad" girlfriends or anything, it is just that they don't really understand my life. They always say something like, "Oh, well...I grew up with both parents. My dad is a mechanic and my mom is a doctor. I had a good childhood." So they grew up, moved away quickly (and without guilt because both parents helped each other) and were able to break away more easily without fear of their family falling apart. A lot of them..their parents helped them through college, bought them a car, etc. My family couldn't do chit and I was doing more for them than they were for me. Do you think I am wrong for feeling this way?

My boyfriend wants to send me a birthday present, he's in college and I'm graduating this year, so he's 19 I'm 17. But my parents are always trying to find ways to upset me. They turn off the wifi when I'm in the middle of a skype call with him (not late at night even, at maybe 8 pm when I have my hw done), and they always take my stuff and borrow my car without asking (I paid for it with my own money, and I buy the gas) I know they'll just take whatever he sends me. He keeps telling me it's not legal to open someone else's mail. But since I'm still 17 they can right?

I want to ask my instructor what she thinks of me, since the time I've known her. Just because she is my coach and I look to her for all advice and she has trained me through a lot, I just want to know. I don't know how to ask.. would it be a weird question?

I got diagnosed with autism but I'm not autistic. My school did iep meeting doctor there said I'm in normal range. At school I learn everything very fast (i can learn something in less than a day and ace the quiz, in math class we did a lesson before lunch then after lunch fid a quiz and i passed it and got an A last Friday) especially math. I have all A's and B's. I had speech delay due to my epilepsy but my speech is much better I talk like a normal person. My behavior, etc are like a normal kid. I get seizures every day. I don't meet any of the criteria for autism. I'm normal but my mom keeps telling everyone I'm autistic. I think im misdiagnosed and everyone else except mom, stepfather, doctors too. My dad even says I'm not autistic. Sometimes my speech is off when I'm getting auras I might have a seizure but that's it other than that my speech is normal. I'm very social also and a boy likes me hangs out with me every day

We have two PS4s, one at my mum's place and one at my dad's. My brother is completely addicted to them, he has no sense of time, no respect for anyone, and I keep getting into trouble because of his disgusting attitude. How can I stop him once and for all?

So for the past 2 months, she has been living with all of us and my brother. She has been with him for 3-4 years now. Everytime I go out of my room, I tend to not feel free like when i am at home. Since she moved in, I never met her or talked to her since its his problem not mines. When my parents tells me to go in the backyard to get some food, I refuse because I dont want to talk to her or meet her. I dont want to be involved. My brother understands how I feel in that situation and he is okay with it. My mom keeps telling me to meet her but I refuse. I dont hate her at all. I am neutral about it. My dad also insists to talk but I dont talk. Thats how I am. I dont talk to people because I keep to myself most of the time. At home, I am more peaceful and open. But outside, I am more reserved. Your thoughts/opinions?

My friend's dad just dropped dead from a heart attack, no warning, and he was also younger than both of my parents. My mom's 47 and in good health, my dad's 51 and osteoporosis is slowly eating away at him. He's also slightly overweight, and has an awful diet, and always talks about how he's going to die young. I'm a 14 year old guy and I kind of feel like a pussy worrying about this, but I'm very close with my parents and worried about losing them, not necessarily now, but also in the future. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have a 10 Yr old a 5 Yr old and a 6mo old. Cps came to my door on thurs. I'm a stay at home mom and I home school my kids. All my kids have beds but not their own rooms. Plenty of food to eat, clothing , lights, running water. I'm drug free and a breastfeeder. My husband works 2 jobs and taking care of 1 kid that's not his like his very own. The only issue I can think of is that we live in a 1 bedroom apartment. The baby and my daughter (5yr) sleep in our room. My 10yr son sleeps in the living room(pulls out his bed at night). Someone called cps on me because they didn't like the facts I was homeschooling. I cooperated with them let's them interview my children and let them in to see my home. The lady looked through very quickly then said she saw no problems and left. She didn't have me sign papers or anything and said I was a good mom and it was great that I was moving into a house in 2 months. But she advised my son may need counseling and said she would refer someone here. Now I'm worried. It seemed too easy. How long does it take cps to get court order and come take kids. What are the signs they are going to take them? I've been up all night since then worrying and crying. The thought of losing them hurts my soul.

I don't mind his drinking it is the reactions everyone else has that get me nervous. It wrecks family gatherings like Christmas Eve this last year. My mother gets all the more nervous because of bad memories she has from her father who was also an alcoholic. So what do I do to calm down when this happens? He won't change so I want to chill. It is not his drinking that bothers me but the depressive and tense reactions from my mother and the rest of the family. I only see him about 4 times a year but always at family events where he is always drunk.

I suffer at the hands of my sister whenever I visit family. I am living on my own but my poisonous sister still lives with out parents. She is the devil on earth. They give her whatever she demands or screams for and drop silent when she screams at them. She controls them. It is my business because she is so poisonous that I don't want to see our parents when she is around. My brother is an alcoholic but I don't mind that as he is ill and a good person. My sister however, is not good, she is evil. So how do I get them to see the enabling they are doing so I can see them and at least tolerate my wicked and poisonous sister.

I mean he is my Dad and they are saying "detach with compassion" at Al-Anon and ACOA but all he does is tell me how worthless I am. I don't live with him (I am an adult) and only see him a few times a year. However, it is so unbearable to be an orphan (my mother died) and my two siblings have little to do with me as the one who lives nearby is a drug addict. I was molested as a kid by my Mom's step-brother so I trust no one.

Okay, so a friend of mine was talking to me about her husband. He is the father of her younger two children, but not the older two. (Herr oldest is an18-year-old girl) They have been together about 10 years now. Anyway, she has asked me on a couple of different occasions what I thought about her husband walking around in his underwear. Sometimes it would be boxers, other times he would be naked. (Like he would take a shower and forget to take a towel and just walk to his bedroom naked.) Now, it is only a short distance he would go if he were naked, but on occasion, he was seen by the teenage girl who would be very embarrassed by this. (Personally, I was up in the air about this. I think it is a matter of carelessness on her husband's part more than anything.) However, she came to me the other day talking about how one evening he was drinking wine and a little talkative and she found him sitting at the foot of her teenage daughter's bed in his underwear (tighty whiteys) and a t-shirt. Does that seem appropriate to you? I think it's obvious he doesn't have the same boundaries as most. He doesn't seem to care if he is caught naked per se. But sitting on his teenage daughter's bed in his underwear and t-shirt? I kind of thought that was crossing a line and that she needed to address that situation! What do you think? Any good advice?

I'm 15 years old and Asian. I've listened to all their music and love them. They are coming to my city and I want to go for my 15th birthday. But I just came back from a state science fair and I'm going to a international one later in the year. My mom says that she's already spent so much money on me, and doesn't want to get me one. My mother thinks that ALL pop music is offensive and if it even mentions anything sexual or with drugs, she turns the music offs and bans me from listening to it. She thinks Fall Out Boy will be offensive and that there will be drugs and drinking at the concert. I get her concerns, but sooner or later I'm going to be independent. I've never been to a concert before either. My family is religious, but I don't really go to Church. She's threatening me by saying I have to go to church a certain amount of times before she will even CONSIDER getting me tickets. Pre sale starts tomorrow and the general sale is on the 5th of May. I don't know what to do? My friends last year went and they were fine. I don't want to be the only one left out again! I never get to go to sleepovers, I can't eat at other people's houses and if I go on an overnight trip, I have to have my mom with me...What do I do?? Some extra details are that I'm going with 3 friends, maybe a parent and we are all 15. Its also on a school night which doesn't make my case any better. I wish my mom was more flexible sometimes. She thinks FOB is inappropriate. Isn't everything? :( My mom won't let me go to a Fall Out Boy Concert on my Birthday?

Who needs a spouse or to produce a family when they have a solid career? Unless just for SHOW?

My mother is physically disabled. She has been for going on 21 years. Recently she lost her mother and has declined significantly in health. She is no longer able to take care of her day to day needs such as showering, cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. She has been hospitalized several times and has yet to receive home health care. I have taken over as POA in hopes that will help make some of the medical decisions for her easier. My question is this...she has awesome insurance, so getting home health will be easy, but in regards to additional benefits such as income and disability benefits, what are our options? She will be moving in with me, her oldest daughter, so I want to make sure she is completely comfortable!!! Please help or if you have any advice to offer, send my way!

So I'm with my family driving in the car and I had like four cokes and now I gotta pee really bad but the next rest stop isn't for 30 minutes and I don't think I could hold it for that long. Btw I'm a girl. How can I pee without letting my family know?

I get called a ****, *****, asshole, slob, dumbass, whore, slut.... Basically any foul word you say, and ive been called it. Not only by my brother, but my parents as well. I clean the house without being told, i help out with my younger sister, i cook, i stay quiet and dont backtalk. They love my brother but im just a piece of **** in their eyes. Im told on the daily to go die.. i want to know if i can live with my grandparents. They have a spare bedroom. How could i go about this? My parents would tell me how stupid i was for wanting to leave and all that...

Ok so I'm kind of new to yahoo and all, so please excuse me if I make any errors. I'm about to graduate soon, and my father purposely left his job to return to our home country (which is one hell of a poor country) so he can take care of HIS parents(my grandparents). Due to this, My mum and I are not happy with this decision, which has caused a rift to form between our family. And on top of that my brother is autistic. In this country there are no good facilities for autistic children, which has only worsened my brothers condition. How do I explain to my father that he should find a job and relocate to a more developed country with better facilities? My home country is just full of violence, rape, unsanitary living conditions etc. Please help.. I've been trying to find a way for 4 years.

my dad must think me and my mom run a construction company because he keeps accusing us of using his tools and not putting them back.... the problem is the only person that uses his tools is him. so today e gets angry and storms off to buy a battery tester. how do I fix this situation.... he is clearly in denial that.. truly thinking it's ot is fault but I get tired of being acussed of moving stuff i wouldn't know what is. p.s.s I don't need some suggestions on how to solve this problem though.

She's thirteen; I'm nineteen. *here - the adverb, not the verb. Sorry.

My mom uses three punishments. Turning off the internet, not allowing me and my brother to see our dad, and calling the cops. Whenever it is her weekend, she leaves leaving us to be trapped in this house. If we leave, she will call the cops. If my dad gets us, he will be arrested for kidnapping. I am 17 year old guy who doesn t have a car nor his license, and My brother and I really value our time with our dad. It is the only real family we have. This weekend my mom traveled states away and left a babysitter. We really want to go to church with him, and eat a proper meal. Going to court is not an option because my dad will have to end up paying more. Is it okay if I go with him when she s out of town? Is there anything I can do to escape this trapped house?

Not looking for judgement here just advice. I let 2 of my friends have sex with my wife when we were all hammered drunk and now she pregnant. I know it s not mine cause I have been fixed. Neither know yet and we do not know if we should tell them or just raise the baby as our own. We need opinions please.

So basically and my sister are at it because she thinks I was bashing her to our mom but in actuality I was actually trying to reconnect them. My sister was going through stuff that was stressing me out because I felt she was dumping her problems on me and I told my mom what was going on with her and told her they need a relationship because we were foster kids our whole life and me and my mother rekindled our relationship years ago but her and my sister always fall out every year about something. Mainly because my sister is either pregnant or going through relationship problems and basically takes her anger out on us. So we haven t talked in a minute because she got angry and decided to bash me on Facebook and try and ruin my relationship . All because she miscontruted the whole situation. Btw every year she goes in a rant about me saying stuff that s untrue and talking about me to people. I never do that to her I usually just block her and go on with my life until she comes running back. I usually apologize even when I m not wrong but she never does. She inboxed me the other day and said " I forgive you" and I m so confused as to what she forgives me for and my boyfriend keeps telling me to just ignore her but I really want to tell her about herself and basically tell her what REALLY happened but my bf and friends are afraid it might turn into another blow up because of her immaturity. Do you think I should clear it up with her or just go on with my life?

I've been dating someone for a while now and he keeps hinting at proposing to me, so we will probably end up marrying. My partner also hints at wanting kids, and I used to, too. But now, I really don't want kids because I'm scared I'm gonna be a horrible mother. I somehow always make every baby I meet, cry. If I play with them, if I hug them, even if I say hi, they just start sobbing. But, whenever my partner does these things, the baby never cries and is happy. I'm a bad influence. I have blue hair, tattoos on my arms, legs, shoulders, and knuckles, I drink, I swear a lot, and I wear lots of revealing clothes. My kid is probably going to think this is okay and do whatever I did to myself. I can dye my hair brown again and change my wardrobe, but I'm too scared to get all those tattoos off, and drinking and swearing are too hard to stop. I get really angry when someone is getting on my nerves. A child can easily get on your nerves, so I'm going to be really angry at my child, but I don't want that to happen. I'm scared I'm going to turn an abusive mother, and then every other parent will hate me and my spouse will divorce me or my kid will be taken away be diphus. So, since I'm probably going to turn out a bad mom, are there any tips you can share so I won't turn out a bad mom?

So I'm going to a cookout later and I plan on smoking before going how should I prepare myself? Will eye drops be needed?

Hi, I am the youngest of 4. I'm 14 right now and my older brothers and sister are in their mid 20s early 30s. My oldest brother moved out when I was about 6 so it didn't really phase me. Then my second oldest brother moved out when I was maybe 10 and I did miss him a ton. Now my sister has moved out. Now me and my sister are the closest in our family. I physically would break down if I went a month without her, she just fuels my happiness. Her being gone has made me cry more than I've cried my whole life. Sure I can visit her, but it's not the same. I feel like we've grown apart, and can't really talk about the same stuff we used to anymore. We used to do everything together. There was one summer my mom had to work all summer long, and I was left with just my sister for 7 hours every day. That was the best summer of my entire life. I will never have that again, and it makes me so upset I just cry. My parents argue all the time, and when I was younger of course I'd get really upset. But I always had someone to turn to. When bad things happen, I have no one to turn to. I know texting and things, but it's really not the same. My siblings can't do anything about my problems if they're miles and miles away. It used to be "You're feeling upset? Ok let's play a board game or watch a movie." I know I can do those things on my own when I'm alone, but it's not the same. I just feel so empty. And I have to endure 10+ more years of it. I don't know what to do. Sorry for the long post.

Well, I am 17 and I currently live with my parents in a flat. We were renting a flat one floor below ours, and now, the guy who was renting has moved out and we were left with an empty flat. But, in the meantime, my grandparents renewed their house so we took their old couch and lots of furniture, so now the flat is equipped. As we were cleaning the flat I thought, why shouldn't I move in here, since my dad promised that he would let me move in anytime I wish... I have a lot of friends living alone, and I like the concept of independence and freedom. I know that I'm mature enough for that, but I'm not sure if it is not something that would be over for a month, because that would make me a d*ck towards my family. Do you think that it's a good idea to move? Thanks for all advice!

I'm 18 and I have a 14 year old sister. We're more than sisters... In fact we're two good friends... I tell her my secrets and she tells her secrets to me and we always keep the secrets of each other. That's probably better than telling your story to an untrusted stranger (even if he or she is your best friend, your sister is more trusted than anyone). So, my mom says that sisters shouldn't be so friendly to each other, because it's unusual! Is she right?!

i work a full time job and a part time job, so the way i have my schedule im either working 7 days a week, or every other day i spend the first half of the day at one job then go to the other job. decent sleep is rare for me. due to not being able to make ends meet, my mother lives with me and i thought that with me working all the time to pay all the bills she would be happy to help around the house. but thats not the case, she always throws in my face how im too lazy to do the laundry or whatever and all i do is sleep. i would love it if i got to sleep alot, but it seems like in this relationship with my mother im more of the adult. i cant trust her with money because she'll go out get drunk and blow it, but yet i cant buy anything for myself because she makes me feel like **** for it. plus shes extra mean to me lately because her birthday passed. i stopped doing things for her birthday because no matter what i bought, made or do for her on her birthday, when she gets mad its like it never happened. the cards end up in the garbage with the flowers, she wont eat the cakes, and whatever else i get her she refuses to use(mp3 player, vape,) i feel like theres nothing i can do, just that the older i get the more she resents me and the more miserable she gets.

So today my friends father called me accusing me of keying their neighbors car. He said they have video of a kid with black hair and a black car running up there driveway keying the car doing a donut in the road and then leaving. This apparently happens on Thursday night at midnight. I did not do it and was wondering what I need to do to prove it. i didn't even go to my friends house that this incident occurred at that night due to me being grounded for not doing chores. The family is refusing to show me footage. And in completely dumbfounded over the situation considering I would never do such a thint

I was in my bedroom an dad walked in an said "go out an cut the grass" an I was like "how about if I cut the cheese instead?" an I lifted my leg up an ricked a huge fart. Then I tild dad that he doesn't understand, I have had a hard week of school an I need to relax. He got all ignorent an said because I don't do my school work an that I am failing my school that I can't be that tired. He just stood their an yelled an screamed at me! I's layin on my bed so I just farted at him again. So then he starts on this new thing he does "as soon as you turn 18 I am takin you down an signing you up for the service." At first I figured he meant it was some kind of collage or something, but now I am not sure. I usual have a hilarious come back when he threatens me, like I will say "the fart service?" an then I'll rick a fart or get up an say "the poop service?" an then I'll go in the bathroom an sit down on the toilet an take a crap. I want to know what this service is an what I am supposed to get from it. Can someone help?

Im about to be 21 and my financially unstable mom is trying to guilt me into not moving out because of that reason. I really want to cause I want to be on my own, and have my own space.. am i wrong for that? i really gets on my nerves that she relies on me and my sister who drink heavily and doesnt work but it also out partying. i need advise what should i do?

I'm in boy scouts (don't know why I'm still in it after all this mess), and my mom is literally so involved in it with me it's VERY creepy. Cub Scouts was fine and all, but when I got into Boy Scouts I couldn't find a way to get out fast enough. She pretty much has my whole Boy Scout "career" planned out until I get my Eagle. She goes online and finds pre-completed merit badge worksheets, and just has me copy them. We were moving last week, and while we were packing, she told me to go get some notebooks from her closet. They had titles written in Sharpie, and they all had pre-completed merit badge workbooks and other boy scout stuff I've never even heard of. I've tried to make an attempt to talk to the scoutmaster about it, but my mom is always right there when we're at the meeting. I'll probably never get a chance to talk to him alone, considering we go about 60 miles a week just to do this thing. Any advice on what I should do? I think I should AT LEAST get to pick what merit badges I do and not use already made ones that I didn't do, and I told her but she says that I need to do the pre-completed ones. My dad doesn't know what to do about it either. I think she might just be using me as a way to do something she couldn't do as a kid, but it's creeping me out. Also: The other week, my mom was complaining about her legs hurting, so my dad offered to take me, and her eyes lit up like she didn't know what to do. She's that involved..

So I can't stand my dad, I never good. He's rude and ignorant to me, my sister and mother and never stops talking and wastes our time. Luckily my mother is divorcing him but I want to block him! I just feel bad cause he gives us money and stuff (probably to buy our love) but I still feel bad taking it! Or if my grandma on his side dies, I wanna know... is it ok to block him??

I walked into the room just as it happened. My mom then left the room and i left too to go after her. I asked if she was okay and she just shrugged. She didnt care at all! Just carried on doing cleaning. I asked why she isnt making a big deal or caring and she only replied "thats life, what can you do?" ummm.. SOMETHING LIKE CALL 911 or LEAVE I also seem to be the only one who cares. When I told my older brother, he said its their marriage so stay out of it. I said "its OUR mom. HIS mom". He said "shes not my wife" What the hell. Whats wrong with them all??
