I am 19 and got arrested on Friday night. After I sobered up I rang my parents and asked them to pay my bail but they wouldn't as they said I needed to learn a lesson as it was my second time being arrested. I then had to get into jail uniform and spent the weekend in jail before going to court today. I've only been in jail overnight before and it was horrible being there for the weekend with all the crazy people and bad food. And going to court today I was handcuffed and shackled like a serious criminal. They did pay my bail today but they could have done that on Friday night.

They say it s OK to see people every now and then but that it's unhealthy to be like me as I see family like five or six times a year instead of just on Christmas. even when I was a kid I was nice to my siblings that are calling them things like butt head and more on her telling them I have them. I'm obsessive compulsive but I guess this is part of that. How do I get over this loyalty and just be tolerant only like my parents are at their families? My parents only see their families at weddings and funerals and occasionally at Christmas. My siblings are just tolerant of everybody whereas I am actually loyal. I'm even loyal to my brother who has a felony on his record And is a drug addict on and off. I think I even scared my mom's sister once because I was 20 and excited to see her rather than the usual "oh **** I have to see family for Thanksgiving".

Ok, here goes. Hi. I m 14 and I live in France with my mum and sister, we ve been here several years. I m from the U.K. A few years back, something happened to me, followed by years of bullying, and now symptoms of ptsd. I have moved school though. I want to move back to the uk, I feel selfish for saying that because my mum and my sister don t want to, at least I don t think they do. I haven t talked to them about this. I have lots of reasons to want to, I m going to a new school next year and will be forced to run into people from my old school (my ptsd makes it a lot harder than it sounds) and I really just want a new start. I ve shut myself out from my friends I have now, and won t see them next year, meaning I ll need to make new friends, and I ve given up on that. I can only see a good next year back home, and i want a degree in English literature. I heard that if I don t attend school in The uk 3 years before university, tuition will be more expensive (??) if that s the case it would work out perfectly (bc of the grade I m in) I am holding onto Le pen winning the presidential elections, in which case, as we are immigrants, we will be better off leaving, but my mum said (since this is the only way we talk about moving back) that we wouldn t do it in summer as we have previously, so the closest we could get d probably be the xmas holidays, I could survive the 1st bit of next year if I was sure that we would move back. but if le pen doesn t get in what do I do? Help pls?

Alright so I'm 18 in almost a month, I'm working on getting a job and saving up (If i get a good enough job I can get a cheap flat) and I'm so excited and I can't wait. But- I'm worried about my mum. She drinks more often than not, not really getting drunk like people my age do at parties but tipsy-drunk and Im worried if something happened my stepdad would just get angry? My brother wants to move out too (he's only 16 though) so I doubt he'll help. I'm not saying my stepdad would hurt her (He better not.) but when they fight, I'm the driver who takes her to my nans. What happens when I'm not there? I'm worried and feeling guilty. Is 18 too young to move out? I love her so much. (Even now they're fighting, it makes me anxious. and it's another reason I want to leave.) Any help?!

I don't know if my parents have go90

When I was little my parents were young and new to parenting and they were overprotective, which saved me in a lot of things that could have gone wrong, but my daddy didn t want his little girl to ever get hurt so he didn t want me to go outside unless someone trustworthy was a few feet away. That s fine and dandy, but my mum has had joint problems all my life and my dad was a truck driver. So I barely played outside for long periods with my mother and my dad would only come home every two weeks to play for 2 days sunday and saturday. ANYWAY basically as a child I barely ran. I ran like a child runs. and I still do.... I m 17 years old and I run stupid. . . I hate running in public because I run dumb plus my breast are large so they bounce about all out of my bra. How can I learn to run like a normal person? my house and yard are not big enough to actually "run" inside of and I get weird looks when I run in public. It kind of makes me a little sad.

like how dads have songs like in my daughters eyes to sing to their daughters

I really don't understand her sometimes, usually we will get along great but then sometimes like recently she'll get really hateful with me, this morning for example I was talking about these Pinterest ideas for a rustic sink and she immediately shuts down my conversation by saying, "You should focus on building your house first." I haven't built a house yet I still live with her, but I'm pretty young is there something wrong with talking about future things? Also, the other day I was talking to my cousin at my grandma's birthday, (mom was present) and she got onto the topic of renting houses/apartments which is something I'd like to do eventually so I was asking her how to rent, what to do, etc. My mom brings that comment up today and was saying, "You should focus on building your house, you sound so dumb sometimes." I told her, "Why because I'm asking questions? What's wrong with that? I really don't understand why it matters to you considering it was our conversation!" Then she got mad and went to her room. Can anyone help me please? I'd like to continually be happy with her but I hate these fits she throws sometimes.

I am a 17 year old Indian American girl(India). My dad definitely loves me and my brother, but he has anger problems that he does not attempt to hide. Every little thing ticks him off and he says horrible things to me when he is in that state, for example:you have failed in life, i shoufd have killed u when u were born etc. afterwards he tries to make it up to me by saying that he had to let out his anger through his words because i'm a girl and he cant hit me(honestly hitting would have been way better). My brother is also in a similar situation but he is very young and almost immediatly forgives my dad. That bastard says that he cant control himself, then how come he doesnt go crazy like that in public? Why only at home? Last month he had a heart attack and we successfully got him to the hospital on time. My mother, brother and me were devastated and he knows that. I felt that he would come out a changed man, but what the bastard did was unbelievable. He started to blackmail us with his heart attack. My mother didnt put enough salt in the food so he went crazy and started breaking things and held his chest saying that we were all killing him. Turns out the ******* bastard was just lying. He does this a lot now. I absolutely hate the bastard . I have already decided to cut contact with my entire family after college because I hate all of them( I am not a very angelic person myself). My question is: do you think my father is abusive?

Almost 25 years ago my father was murdered in a small New England town. He was killed just one week before I was born, leaving my mother who was only 17, to raise me herself. He was 24. So in May I will officially have lived longer than him. It recently came to my attention that the man who killed him is related to my Godmothers grand daughter. (I m very close to my Godmother, she helped raise me and was close to my father) I also learned his name and realized he s on Facebook. Over the years I ve had questions, that family members have been hesitant to answer. I have gotten different versions from my own mother. I guess I should also mention that I enjoy writing and have decided to write an essay in honor of my father, im very close to his side of the family and so I m kind of doing it for them too, but the controversial part is that I want to confront his killer. I want to hear his side of the story, I want to put a close to this whole situation that has been nagging the back of thoughts. Would you confront this person? If you would, how would you go about it?

so recently i lost my parents` trust. i lied to them (blah blah i know its bad) . basically i told them that im going to my friends house but i went to my classmates birthday instead (didnt actually go because parents found out). SO the problem is - i lost my trust, and now mom blames me for stealing her money. Yesterday she gave me 2 euros for school, and checked that she had 2 more euros left. The next day, when i was in school, she texted me that i took the money (the 2 euros that were in her wallet) and i better tell now or else. the thing is, i didnt take the money! and since they dont trust me, they are blaming me. she took my card, and she doesnt talk to me. i really dont know what to do, crying and sobbing etc isnt working

My daughter is 5 and while she claimed to be okay with me dating again, she clearly isn't. My sister, her husband, & their puppy came over to watch her. Apparently she was moody, fussy, and bratty all night, needing several time-outs. This isn't like her at all. I asked her this morning why I'd gotten such a bad report. She claims to not remember last night, refused to look at me, attempted to change the subject and tried to leave. Why can't she just say what she's thinking? I just told her that being mad is not an excuse to behave badly.

He has this angry tone of voice like I am a t fault if I say anything that reveals I am anxious. It makes me resent the hell out of him and the shame of it is he is not a bad father otherwise. He only picked up the parts he wanted to hear when he came to the therapists with me when I was still a teen. I am living on my own now but it would be nice to have family appreciate my suffering. I don't bring it up often, maybe three times a year out of visiting every other weekend It is hard to suffer an illness I am shamed for.

This happens when her family and my Dad's family schedule something at the same time like Thanksgiving or a wedding once. I do more time with my Mom and her family so when my Dad and his family ask it is only natural I want to see them more. My mother won't except this. I am an adult but tired of the feuding about it. I anticipate a problem at Easter since it is my Mom's step-father's B-Day the same day.

A couple years ago (about 7) there was some drama that involved me. I won't get into specifics, but i've gotten myself therapy and have apologized to my family members for everything i did and said. Well anyway they have been giving me the silent treatment since. I recently moved away and i haven't heard from them besides my brother and parents. When my grandfather passed away a few years ago they weren't even there for me. No sorry for your lose nothing. It's really upsetting. I'm not sure if they're doing this on purpose, but it is really getting under my skin.

My brother always asked me to turn down the tv when him and my nephew are sleeping he asked because my nephew is sleeping I don't think he's being honest I think he's asking because he is sleeping, because when it's just my nephew sleeping he would have the tv up loud some nights or play his video games and talks loud and his phone up loud to, what should I do next time he's the one being loud? I just might tell him it to be a hypocrite. If I ever asked him to turn something down he'd get mad I want to slap him so bad right now I feel he truly doesn't care about the baby sleeping he just cares about himself.

Also I don't really know the right way to explain to them why I keep a love note about him in a heart-shaped locket or why I keep a diary about him and the fantasies I have about cuddling with him anyway they really hate Mike Pence.

She'd call me on the phone crying begging for money, I'd always say no until she threatened to dump her children on the neighbours and kill herself. Like an idiot I gave her $3000. I told her that's all I have and she can't ever have anymore. Later that year we met up and she saw recent pics on my phone of me and my family on holiday to Kenya and she and her daughter went crazy and jealous and almost in tears saying "I thought you had no money, you could have not gone on holiday and gave that money to me". I don't know what to do. I feel she's being so outrageous. I'm not rich, neither is my husband, we just work very hard for the little we have. She on the other hand is 45 years old, obese, 7 kids and she's never worked a day in her life. She got by on scrounging for money off siblings,parents,cousins,in laws, inheritances, all sorts. I feel so used. Should I cut her out of my life?

i'm not even joking. i'm ******* miserable and feel more mentally and physically restricted than a beluga in marineland.

Ok so im an only child and my dads pet. This kid and her mom came to visit us. Im 15. I showed love to her took care of everything bought her lots of sweets took her whereever i went. But I noticed the change in her behaviour when she gt more friendly she began showing her true colours. No one cares when she is mean cuz she is a "Child"(6) She is very mean to my grandma (My grandma likes her the best doesnt really like me so naturally i was nt tht sympathetic when this kid started shouting at my grandma) So today this kid S father (We had lots of prob with him he used to beat me when i ews young) came here and i teased her infront of her father. I tld her that her father used to tease me alot and this is payback as a joke. She put on this tandrum by crying aloud. Normally when i did tht crying, all i got was beating and more tease but when she did that her dad came over and said smrhng like "see dont cry lets beat her" as a joke he beat me infrnt of everyone pretending its a joke but it waw really hard. I didnt say anything cuz my mom would find that disresepectful. I cld nt believe that My ****** Cousin sister was in it too. She told me some mean things afterwards and teased me. I went into my room and cried (Noone knws) Shes nw gone I felt like beating the crap out of her. I wae broke whn i found out her true colours. I tld mom nt to invite her or her father home again. My father is away so i cant say anything. Did I do smthng wrng pls say smthng

I got into IU and George Washington. Given that GWU is further, looks like that's where I'm going. I'm turning 18 in a week. My mom was extremely terrified when I went to target at night, and Parked in the front to go get cookies. But I'll give the most recent example. My parents act like they give me a **** ton of freedom. They don't though, obviously. My parents track my phone and say they're going to keep tracking my phone in college, to which I say, no the hell you aren't. So my parents didn't even give me a curfew and dropped my friend and I off at the beach. I checked my phone literally every 10 minutes. We walked down the beach at about 10:30 to an access point. My dad's texts weren't going through. So about 45 minutes went by with no response. My parents drove up to the new access point and told me to get in the car and said they wanted to call the cops. I'm getting really sick of this

My husband filed for divorce last fall, and I have been devastated by it. My in-laws were on my side, as they knew how hurt I was and how much my marriage meant to me. My mother-in-law was always so kind and still is to this day. My father-in-law has been showing up to our court dates, and slandering me and basically making me out to be the devil. All because I'm going after spousal support for a year or two and heaven forbid his spoiled son has to give me anything. I know blood is thicker than water, but how do I deal with this? I was his in his family for 9 years and only ever treated him with respect and kindness.

This is first time iv post, havent really got anyone to talk to apart from my partner so want some advice. Past few months iv felt like iv been pushed out of the family it sort of started when it was my sisters birthday she had a meal at our parents house there was my sister, her partner, my mum, dad and nana me, my partner and daughter wasnt even invited which i thought was a bit odd. Secondly, my sister was having a hard time just before christmas and all of a sudden my nana has start taking her out for lunch every other week. I was home alone 5 days a week from age 13 to 19 due to personaily issuse and my nana never took me out even knowing that im on my own which makes me wonder why? Thirdly, my nana has given my sister some photo albums and theres two photo albums of my grandad who sadly passed away when i was 6 and she didnt give me one of them which has upset think its wrong of her hes my grandad aswell i miss him just as much as everyone else. am i just being daft or am i being pushed out?

So I have two older brothers, 21 and 23. I'm only 13. My brothers used to fight when they were younger but do much worse things to me. They've slammed my hand in the car door, force fed me snails, one of them recently ******* bit me and they do so much more!! The most annoying part is that while I'm screaming to the top of my lounges my mum is in the room next to which I'm in and as soon as I stop squealing she comes in and says some bullshit like "I tried getting them to stop but I only just heard you" and then tries to hug it out. They once were holding me down and spitting in my eyes, leaving me with some temporary eye infection and bruises from holding me down. But my mum didn't ******* hear that.. But the absolute worse part was growing up with an abusive father. They know I have a lot of troubles getting over what he did but all they ever do is keep reminding me of him. I really don't know what to do. Am I overreacting? Is this what normal brothers do?..

She said "Wow, he's so cute, tell him to call me in 15 years" we laughed but it rubbed me wrong & made me uncomfortable, I don't think I want anything else to do with her. Am I over-reacting?

Like if I'm homeless and I ask people for five dollars most people wont give me five dollars.

My parents have told me that they would disown me if I marry my girlfriend. The reason is really stupid. My parents believe in horoscope matching and our horoscopes do not match. In addition my parents were told that would divorce in the future. They are so convinced of this that they are so against this marriage. My girlfriend is really loving and caring over me. She is a great girl and I don't think there is a single thing that my parents can say wrong about her. However, due to the horoscopes they have made an opinion about her. Note they have not meet her at all. I feel absolutely torn as I am very family oriented person and love my family very dearly. I am now in a situation where I have to choose either my family or her... I don't know what to do.

I was just on my phone as normal, and then suddenly, mom comes and yells "give me your phone NOW, you b*tch!" I didn t see any reason for her to take my phone, so i tried to keep it, but she took it away anyway. when i later asked my dad when i would get my phone back, he said i would never get it back. It s not fair, not only did i do nothing wrong, but i also am now the only junior in high school without a phone. and now, i have no way of communication with my friends, who all go to a different school than me. How can i get my phone back?

My boss is in his late 30s, and his daughter is 19. He's a single father and she's his only child. I know I shouldn't have been eavesdropping on them, but I was and this is what I heard: My boss's daughter: Well, I was the result of a one night stand... My boss: Yeah, but it couldn't happen twice. My boss's daughter: It's not impossible. My boss: I've told you I was safe with your mom. Nothing that we know of went wrong. Her getting pregnant was a freak thing. Once is weird enough, but twice? I know the condom didn't break with this girl either. Sorry, I'm just freaked out. My boss's daughter: Maybe women secretly poke holes in your condoms cause they want to keep you around. My boss: No, there's no way she could've done that. That's all I heard. Do you think this is a strange conversation for a man to have with his daughter or is it normal? I can't decide. I know it's none of my business, but I just want someone more opinions.

Im 20 shes 18 and i just cant get a long withher , i dont like her and i cant stand her and idk what to do because she is my sister !!!

Today I told my mom I needed to talk to her. I told her everything I couldn't tell her cause she's not a supportive mom. She's more of a put you down & use it against you type. I told her I hate her cause she's never been there when I needed her throughout my life of being bullied and trying to kill myself. She told me I wasn't suppose to be born. She let her boyfriends control her to turn her against me. She let them try and my father. When I don't want to be close or get close to them. She makes me pay rent when her boyfriend does nothing but stay home and play games. He living off her for free. I feel like I shouldn't pay rent cause I didn't tell her to open her legs and create me. Why should I pay the price of her mistakes? She's money hungry & she gamble the money I give her for rent. And she complain about the bills not being paid. It's so much she done to me I can't let go or put behind me cause it hurts me. & it's forever with me at 18

My spring break starts tomorrow, and I had a plan to do nothing just stay home and no nothing before going back and getting ready for tests. Like everything my dad has to ruin it by suggesting going to palm springs and looking at scenery. I hate palm springs and i am not the outdoorsy type of person I don't like going into the nature because it is really boring and there is nothing fun to do. After a long time of telling him why I don't want to go he has to be an idiot and drag me along. I had plans with my mom to get by drivers permit which I have been waiting for sine January, we were going to pick out glasses since I need them, we were going to watch beauty and the beast, and make ice cream, We were supposed to have fun and she agreed. But my dad is so selfish and stupid he only thinks of himself and doesn't care what I want to do. I am sobbing in my room right now hiding because I hate them so much, I am keep on slapping my head because there is no one else that I can hit, I really either want to kill myself or him. I just wish my dad will listen to what I want to do no matter how much I talk to him. He was supposed to be working anyways. I am not going to kill myself or anyone so don't worry, but i am so mad and I wish my parents would put me up for adoption. I hate my life. Plz answer quick i am dying in the inside I am 15 and a half, I turn 16 in july

Dad got remarried to a woman he met a couple weeks after the divorce, it was way too quick of a move..she has 5 kids, I already had 3 brothers so.. it's a busy house now to say the least.. Since they've moved in, all my pets have been taken from me and taken to the vet to be euthanized because they're "no longer welcomed in this home" ..And please understand this too..This is my first year in public school, In a new district, I don't know anyone.. So I have no friends, at the moment don't have a phone because I got grounded for no fault of my own, and my grades aren't all that I want them to be. I can't focus, and being an introvert, in an extroverted family, isn't easy. I feel like I constantly have to "prove myself" to my new stepmom, she just doesn't believe a word that comes out of my mouth, and treats every one of my siblings like her own, except me. I'm the odd one out, both at home and at school. I have severe depression and anxiety, which they think doesn't affect my focus..It does, I'm overwhelmed with just, everything. They don't understand, but say "I understand, because I was once your age." ...That doesn't mean much. Also, I'm from a Christian home, and again being the odd one out, I don't know what I believe. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, and just getting through the day is a constant struggle, I've had suicidal thoughts lately, like in the past.. I just, don't really have anyone.. except my mom.. (continued below in comments)

Okay so I'm a 13 year old boy and I want to sleep in my underwear and a baggy tee shirt but I don't want my parents to know I don't want them to get the wrong idea if u know what I mean and i usually wear boxers but briefs is what I sleep in so I think my mom will think it's weird and both my parents work a night shift and they come my room and check on me and what if the blanket is giving me what if I'm just naked on my bed when my mom comes in how should I d ok it should I tell the should I just do or what

My biological mom is out if the picture so i lived with my dad until he married again last year. Hes 50 and my step mom is 30 and she keeps treatung me like a child and idk what to do

My daughter is almost 21. She is my only child. I had her when I was 19 and never married her dad. Her dad has had custody of her since she was 8. I had problems with alcohol when she was younger and I wasn t the greatest mom. He did get married when she was 4 and she has always gotten along with her stepmom so much so that she s told everyone that her stepmom is her mom since she was 11. I ve been sober for 10 years and tried rebuilding my relationship with her. Her dad and I tried therapy for her and for the both of us but all she would do is sulk in a corner and tell the therapist about how much she hated me. The therapist says I cause hostility because I break the fantasy of her step mom being her real mother and that she would eventually grow out of it. My husband and I moved away when she was 13 for his job since she didn t want to see me and therapy was going nowhere. Despite pleas to come spend the summer with us, she has refused to see me since we left. My husband is dying of cancer. I asked my daughter to come to the funeral. She said no because her finals are coming up and she needs to study. It was very clear I was bothering her and she didn t care about her stepdad dying. At this point should I just give up having a relationship with her? Years of therapy haven t done much good? There are valid reasons she may not care about me and I have only myself to blame but I can t keep putting myself through this hurt. Should I just give up and leave her alone?

I hope you're willing to read this long story. On July 12th, 2014, my dad forced my mom and sister to abandon our cats. He did force them--if they didn't do it, he would kill the cats. One of those cats was mine. He knew this. We've done everything we can to find her, but no one has even seen her since that day. At the time, I didn't like her. I thought that it would be a relief to finally be rid of her. It wasn't until three months later that I realized how I felt. He doesn't even remember--why would he care? He's narcissistic and only cares about himself. I have PTSD because of him. I am 13. He emotionally abuses me, my sister, and my mom. My oldest sister, he treats like a queen. One day, when she was arguing, she ran out crying and my dad followed her. I could start crying right behind him, and he would probably yell at me to be quiet. My dad and mom are getting a divorce, luckily. He thinks he's a good person; nobody has the courage to tell him that he is the problem, so he thinks he isn't. But, one day..I will tell him what he's done. Some days...he takes me somewhere to eat, and the day is good. But still..I can't let go of my anger. I'm afraid to. More than afraid--terrified. I can't just let go of it, I can't just forget. I've clung to this need for a long time, so long that it feels like a part of me now. My desire for revenge is what holds me together. I would fall apart without this hatred to drive me forward. But because of it, I'm dying inside.. I need help...

So I just turned 14 on April 2nd and my whole family ruined it. First my mom was going to go out with a friend, quote on quote, "just in the morning" but I managed to talk her out of it, but I still can't believe that she thought her friend was more important than me. Then when my sister came home from a weekend trip she called me "frickin dumb" because I wouldn't look at the pictures she took on the trip. Next, my mom forced me to go shopping when I didn't want to. After that, my family took me out to eat at red robin I got a stomach ache and couldn't eat my cake waiting at home. So when I got home my mom just wanted to take a picture with me and the cake so I went down and did that but my sister ruined the picture by blinking and making weird faces, then my mom blew out the one non-birthday candle on the cake since we weren't eating it. Almost right after, my uncle came unexpectedly and didn't even know it was my birthday until my grandpa ( who is living with us) reminded him. My uncle also brought his daughter with him and they saw the cake and ate the first slice. So basically my birthday was the worst since my family didn't pay any attention to me. So currently I am crying now. What do I do?

So my parents are divorced and I never see my dad at all cuz my mom hates him, but he texted me saying he was in town and tomorrow is his last day. I really want to see him off at the airport and take half a day off from school to do so. But my mom says I'm just making up excuses to miss school when over half of my electives that don't have any work are in the half of the day that I want to miss. She yelled at me telling my not to bring my dad into this and that I would ruin my future if I took a day off. I really don't know what to do cause I miss my dad so much and this is like a once in a while opportunity for me...

1) I do most (not all) chores around the house (she complains when she has to clean even a single dish) then starts complaining I don't do anything while she texts all day 2) I go to high school, have an internship, and take college classes, I keep asking to have a full summer off, but she says I have to either get a summer job , summer school and take college classes (I'm already stressed out) 3) I keep telling her I get nauseous around bleach but she uses it anyway due to it he bleach itself smelling "clean" then refuse to let me open a window. 4) whenever I'm sick she immediately dismisses it as allergies then expects Tylenol or something to work (it doesn't) I tell her that but she says I have to take it again and again and says it works for her (I'm adopted) and half of OTC drugs don't work well, Advil even doesn't work whatsoever. 4)I can't get a job as my mother is the type who demands me to lend we money as she can't herself walk to the bank and starts digging through my stuff when I refuse (So I can't get an apartment room) 5) none of my sibling have to do chores as "they do sports" plus one of my siblings is a complete brat (I have a feeling my mother doesn't want to make her mad). 5) she complains about some games I play are too violent, yet she allows my 15 year old sister to play cod zombies without complaint. She refuses to acknowledge how much stress I'm under and makes home life MORE stressful than college (college still stresses me out) She always expects me to do everything perfectly (that's bare minimum for her) so when I make a single mistake she gets angry and punishes me in some way) (She ignored my sister when she waterlogged my room, almost ruining a $1,000 computer because she had to use a different bathroom. Yes a bathroom. Regarding the over the counter stuff is there a way I can drill into her head stating I'm not the same person therefore whatever works on her probably won't work on me and regardless won't instantly make me well enough for school due to Tylenol relieves the discomfort from the symptoms but not the sickness itself. Unsurprisingly on some of those days some of my friends at school get sick and I start feeling bad. As an example on how irritating it is dealing with her : she sees all these icons on my computer desktop and demands that I immediately close them. They are folders and icons! I can't close icons not on the task bar! And another one: I draw art for fun (they are um let's say some people think I'm good at it, but I claim I'm average) my mother however says I should sell them which I constantly refuse as they are partially done ( I need a scanner which she refuse to let me get even for a gift) I'm trying to major in IT, Graphic design or video game creation(I'm technically doing that with RPG maker) but she insists on me getting a councilor job or a a full time job at a grocery store. Or when somehow my internship was obviously messed up, and sending me to work at a nursing home instead of a printing place, she started objecting to the idea of the mistake (I don't eat as much, so you probably should notice how the jobs she tries demanding I do benefit her more than me) She expects me to feed both of my dog, the sit there making sure one of my dogs don't eat the other's food, take out both trash and recycling, make my lunch, put my eye contacts in (that takes around 30 minutes as they keep folding) the other before I have to feel with 1-1 1/2 minutes before my transportation arrives. Also I would like to add she mainly gives me most of the heavy lifting stuff even though I weigh LESS then my 15 year old sibling (by about probably about 20 pounds) Yes, I'm technically an adult, but be sure to read everything. Telling me to move out is pretty out of the question as she not only refuses to believe I can live on my own ( I took care of the house all by myself a few times but she always tries to find mistakes then immediately says I'm 0% trustworthy, then there is the she always demands that I lend her money and tries "stealing" it when I refuse (quite a few times she demands $200 off of me In which I usually don't carry that much on me, then she demands that I run to the bank to take said money out of MY bank account yet she can easily (and much faster as she has a driver she license and i don't) use her OWN account, but apparently she hates paying anything herself outside food or clothing). If you wonder why I don't have a drivers license is because she keeps demanding I due so I can drive the family around (plus I have bad vision) and I refuse to support her laziness. And don't ask me to deal with it as it definitely is going on for too long, but the issue is, nearly everyone sides with her, and the school counselor demands me to stop being "whinny" and "act my age" when I start complaining how stressful my life is (I try to do it in the least annoying way possible, biased school staff ftw!) Sorry for the massive wall of updates, yahoo answers won't let me put all of it in one box.

I'm 16 and my younger brother is 14. My younger brother is autistic and epileptic. My parents are divorced. My mom works all of the time and my older brother is off at college. I stay with my little brother babysitting him, making sure he takes his medication, making sure that he eats, that he changes into the right clothes, and that he is clean. Overall we spend a lot of time together and my mom is very strict so she doesn't let me go to my friend's house when she is working. Being that my little brother is non verbal, it feels like I have no one to talk to. I call my best friend and we have conversations but if I told her about every time that I was frustrated about this I would never shut up. It honestly drives me to crazy to be home all time. I want to feel like a teenager but I feel like I'm his second mother. Sometimes when I want to go to school event on a Friday I have to ask my best friend's mom to watch my little brother because when we ask my aunt, she'll say, "you know there's places to put him?" It feels like I'm being a burden to ask other people to watch him so I just stay at home. It's just really annoying that if I want to go anywhere with my friends, play a sport, or anything that focuses on me I have to make sure that my brother has someone to watch him. What do I do?

If you had a grownup son and you found out he was using prostitutes , how would it make you feel ? How would you react , what would you tell them ?

This happens when her family and my Dad's family schedule something at the same time like Thanksgiving or a wedding once. I do more time with my Mom and her family so when my Dad and his family ask it is only natural I want to see them more. My mother won't except this. I am an adult but tired of the feuding about it. I anticipate a problem at Easter since it is my Mom's step-father's B-Day the same day.

I'm a full-time college student still living at home. I am planning on moving out when I begin grad school; until then, I'm living at home, saving up. My family life is usually okay. But there are times where I truly believe my mom is clinically crazy. Everything will be okay, and suddenly she will have a massive blowup for absolutely no reason. And when I say no reason, I mean NO REASON. My dad used to defend her random anger tantrums, but it has reached the point where even he can no longer make excuses for what I can only describe as erratic and senseless rage. Because she cannot take it out on the men of the house, she resorts to taking it out on me (ever since I was a kid). She will verbally abuse me and sometimes even hit me. And remember: I receive this abuse for no reason. I will be in my bedroom studying and she will storm into my room. When she hits me, it takes everything inside of me not to swing back. She is my mom, after all. I am a kick boxer, so I know if I were to ever hit back, she would be knocked out cold. I try so hard not to entertain her insanity. But when she hits me, I want to hit her back sometimes. Just to make a point to her to never lay her hands on me again. Is it ever okay to hit your mom?

My mother is okay, but I'll tell you something: she always makes me mad. I try my best, but it's like she expects me to be able to do all the household things every other thirteen year old does. My past kept me from learning that kind of stuff, and yet she acts like I should know how to sweep and wash the dishes and everything when my abuse ended around when I was eleven. I literally turned thirteen just last week on March 24th. And she always finds some fault in me. I usually prefer to stay up in my room where no one will disturb me and listen to music, yet she gets mad at me for doing this. It's like she doesn't realize that I don't want to be downstairs with her and my stepdad and half sister(who is about seven months old)and forces me to go and sit on the couch, something that makes me cry because it reminds me of what happened to me when I was abused. Once, when she was pregnant, sometime during early September, I think, she started hitting me so hard I started crying just because the pain was finally getting to me, which greatly annoyed me because I have a high pain tolerance, higher than I believe most teenagers my age do. I put it off to her hormones because she was crying. But I do have a very vivid memory of her finding one of those small, silver knitting needles under her bed once and stabbing me in the arm with it with a strange smile on her face when I was about nine or so. I never knew what to put that off to. But please, any suggestions as to what I might do?

I'm a struggling musician about to graduate high school. I want to go to this Commjnity College to be able to go to the school where my teahcher is. The only way for me to do this is to live out of my car or find an apartment cheap enough to, which I haven't. I am set on this path and am not turning from it. My father thinks I can't do it. I need some advice here. I'm willing to live from my car, I just need to know what to do. I'll be in the Tuscaloosa Alabama area for the Cmunity College I want to attend. I'll also have a job by then which will pay decently well. It's a restraint job but it'll do. If I do this, then I'll be doing it on total secret from everyone I know. Also, if anyone could help me find a place to live. Please email me at jonboyriley@yahoo.com or text me at (256) 740-7131. My name is Jonathon Riley. Thank you! P.S. Thank you to anyone who helps me by responding. It means so much to me, truly.

When she's mad with her gf or my sister she vents to me when I am on the phone talking to my friends. I could be sitting at the kitchen table or outside minding my own business. I have told her I don't want to hear about her problems or anyone else's as I'm 37 weeks pregnant. These issues that are going on in her life are not benefiting me and stressing me out dearly.

My parents own a chinese "family" restaurant where only my family of 5 works at. My mom, dad, brother, sister, and I. My mom and dad cooks, while my sister, brother and I get the phone and customer. I'm still in high school so I have a lot of homework to do. Sometimes when the restaurant is busy, I can't even do my homework because it's so busy. I have to come to the restaurant straight after school every day and work until 10. By the time I get home and shower, I got to bed at 12 and I wake up at 6. I have a quiz tomorrow on a book that my class is currently reading so I was trying to finish the book. While I was reading the book, the phone rang. I wanted to get the last sentence read before getting the phone, but my dad yelled at me and told me to pick up the phone. He got so mad. He yelled at me and took my phone. He even took my car keys, so I'll have to ride the bus from now on. He then told me that I'm so lazy how I couldn't even answer the phone. He then went on yelling at me saying how I don't have purpose of living and that I should just go kill myself. I don't know what to do. Do you think he really mean it?

Most of the problems that I have heard of come from having problems with: husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, son, daughter . I think that single people( like me) don't have to deal with any of this. Why complicate yourself with having problems when you can avoid all this?
