They have been dating for about a year or so. My brother is 21 she just turned 17. He still lives at home with our parents and this girl is living here as well. Nobody in this house likes her. Since she has moved in she has brought in a goat, cows, dogs, kittens, rabbits, ducks and never takes care of them. The dog chewed up my father s $2000 grandfather clock, a dresser, 2 couches, and a loveseat. She has also brought 2 other people who are her friends in to live at my parents house without their permission. She dropped out of school, doesn t work, seeks attention from anyone who will listen, and I m pretty sure she is cheating on him. I live here and pay $100 a week and her and my brother pay nothing. My parents keep saying "they will talk with him" but nothing ever changes. How do i break them up discreetly without anyone noticing that it was me. Also, don t say move out because I am saving up to buy a house and probably won t have to deal with it much longer, I m mainly worried about my parents having to worry about taking care of her and her friends/animals. They don t need that stress.

I'm a 16-year-old loner girl who always sits on my computer, doing absolutely nothing but scrolling through the internet and eating food. Every day, my appearance gets more horrendous(as I overeat and never take care of myself) and my confidence is plummeting. I can't talk to people without feeling shame and guilt over my appearances. But now, I really want to improve myself. I want to be able to lose the unnecessary weight and become confident, and to be able to hang out with my friends. By doing so, I want to run and exercise every day to a nearby park that is only a 10 minute walk away. Note: The park has children and dogs, so it is pretty safe. There is also an elementary school right next to it. I love to run... but I can't do it. The reason is because my parents will not let me go outside by myself. They don't trust me. They feel like I'm going to get kidnapped (even though I'm so hideous and fat) When I DO go out, they always have to accompany me. When I take out the trash, they go outside and watch me. Do you guys know how to make them trust me to go alone? I really want to improve myself, to become a new person. But I won't be able to do so if i just sit here on the computer all day. When going to the park, I plan on going in the morning (on weekends) and after school (on weekdays) It is a family-filled community (since it's near an elementary school), so I am sure I won't get kidnapped. I'll save up for a pepper spray just in case. I just want to change.

Here s the story. I m 21 and my sister is 17 almost 18. About three months ago she got three parking tickets that equaled up to $200. She begged me for help and promised to pay me back. I paid her tickets for her (She has a job btw). She told me when she got her tax returns she d pay me back but she never did. She is graduating next week and asked me if, as a gift, she could be debt free with me. She said she wants us to forget it ever happened and she doesn t owe me anything. What do I do?

I am a 15 year old boy and my sister is 16. Our parents are divorced and we live with our mom. My mom and sister are very comfortable being naked around each other. Like they'll talk to each other while one is bathing or showering. Sometimes my mom might finish up her shower, and my sister will strip off her clothes and start her own shower while my mom's still in the bathroom drying off and getting dressed. I find this very odd and can't imagine doing anything similar around my dad. I've asked my sister why she does this saying she's 16 and not 6. She always responds she's my mom no reason to care and tells me to shut up. I wasn't sure how common this is for females.

So he sees his lies affect me.

My sister is the definition of evil.

My mother blames me for their divorce saying she divorced him to protect me and my siblings. Now she won't let us see him but devotes time every day to telling us how we are outsiders in his eyes. How do I find a purpose when my life sucks and my Mom is toxic? I don't mind my Dad, he has a disease, my Mom is the one abusing me.

I overheard my older sister saying some really bad things about me to a guy she used to mess around with. She literally spread lies about how I had sex for money. She also talked about how terrible I looked at that time because I lost a lot of weight. I couldn't believe it. I was in too much shock and pain to say anything when it happened. When I finally confronted her a few months later, she denied everything. She refused to apologize and said if I change my mind and wanna talk to her again, I have her number. I know what I heard, why wouldn't she just fess up?

I received an inheritance and I would like to save it and make it grow for my kids college if I ever have any kids or my retirement if I don't. It is not big enough to pay someone to manage it so I am trying to decide how to best invest it. My husband wants to invest it but he does not know ANYTHING about investing. He can not even balance our check book. I have a friend that is a financial wizard. He has a proven track record of great results from his investments. His honesty and integrity are well known to me. He will manage my inheritance and make it grow and not charge me anything. He is the person I would like to have help me with my investments but there is a problem. He is my ex husband that I am still on friendly terms with. It will be a blow to my current husbands ego if I have my ex husband help me with my investments. I would like to tell my current husband that this is strictly a business relation (as it is) and it has nothing to do with our relationship. I don't think he will buy that. I don't want to hurt my husband's feeling but I think this is too important to not maximize my investment returns. ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Ok so heres the situation: my wife just started her job at Walmart. For anyone who has never worked there before, they have certain rules as to when employees are allowed to take off. Normally, when you start, you have to work a certain number of holidays in a row for a while before you can request off. So in my wifes case, she'll have to work the next couple of holidays before she can request any off. Here's the problem: she doesn't want me and our 1 year old son to go visit family without her on holidays. Her opinion is, if one of our familys is having a get-together on a holiday, and she has to work, she wants to go either before she works or after she gets off. My opinion is, that is fine, depending on the situation. If family can move the timing around so we can all attend a get-together, then that works. But if they can't, then she'll just have to miss out because theres nothing we can do. She doesn't see it that way. She believes that if family cant move their plans around to accommodate her, then we either have to go before she works or after she gets off, even if that means missing out on seeing family due to the timing. It also doesn't help that we only have one car at the moment. I've tried to reason with her, saying that sometimes you cant help if family plans things at a certain time and cant change them, and that sometimes you just have to make sacrifices. She isn't budging, saying she is going no matter what. What do I do?

If I keep trying to hold my fathers hand, he'll pull me down when I displease him, pretty much anything. Eg. he misplaced the scissors and yelled and threatened me that I put it somewhere else. He has twisted logic. He yelled at my mother and it was causing my PTSD symptoms of anxiety he abruptly and forcefully opens my door and breaks my mirror. Then he threatens me about getting it replaced he'll break my door. That was 2 years ago. Now currently he randomly get angry about anything like him burning an egg and starts calling me and my mother B..tches. I used to not be so easily stimulated to have PTSD symptoms but now I do, his heavy breathing when angry, him beating the strings on the guitar, this causing my to breath heavily and feel uneasy. When he is not like this he is a tamed normal person, but this does last long. Before loud noise or signs of anger from other people didn't effect me, now it does, it causes me to jump. It makes sense that I should let go of my fathers hand, because he will only pull me down, but I am unsure about the other side of the situation. He has no job he has GERD (problem with the LES unable to digest food) {we can help him get surgery but he is against surgery}. He will have no where to live (because he is too stubborn to live with his brother).

My fiancé and I have been engaged for about three months. He and my parents have different religious beliefs, and while mine are more aligned with his, but my parents say that while I am living in their house rent free I must follow certain rules, which I respect. They aren t unreasonable. They want me home by midnight most nights, they don t want me drinking, and they expect me to keep up with my school work. My fiancé comes from a different lifestyle where his mother has always allowed him to do what he wants, at least to a certain extent. He isn t used to having these kinds of rules and that s where his resentment started. Even though they aren t very bad, he just dislikes that they try to control me, at least to an extent. This weekend he invited me to come out of town with him. My parents said that they didn t feel comfortable with me doing that, because they know that his stepmom is a heavy drinker and drug addict, and his father is never around much, and that s who we would be staying with. They just said that given that they ve never met them, they didn t feel comfortable with the situation. I was angry, but I like living here without rent so I didn t argue. My fiancé has been ranting about them nonstop ever since, and he got really tired and honest last night and told me that he hates them. I know that they dislike him and are trying to tolerate him out of respect for me. I can t lose the love of my life but I can t alienate my parents for him.

I have a three year old and a nephew that's 8. Their birthdays are close together. However my brother and I never discussed joint parties. Im having an event for my 3 yo in a few days and suddenly my brother calls and says that he told my nephew that he would celebrate his birthday with my 3yo. I feel bad to say no, but the guests are mine, the cake has only my 3yos name on it, only my 3yo will get gifts, plus I paid for it. My brother won't contribute or even buy my nephew a cake. What should I do?

My laptops screen broke so my mom is getting it fixed. They don't have my password, will the repair person be able to get into my laptop? Will they ask for my password? If they get my password I know the first thing my mom will do is look through my files. And my porn is right in the downloads, it would be so embarrassing. You might think "then just don't give her the password" but the problem is... my brother has my password, and he's known to crack under pressure and do anything that will please our parents, I made him swear to not give my password but I can't count on it. I mostly want to know if the repair person can get into it without the password, and if they can, will they give the password to my mom and tell her I have porn on it. How do you think this whole this will turn out? I will also be gone the whole weekend and won't be able to just take my laptop as soon as it's fixed

today was the first day in a vacation I was extremely happy because I worked really hard the past few weeks. and I usually spend 2-4 hours playing in a normal day, I barely got 15 minutes today, my mom also threatens to ruin the whole vacation saying that she ll take away my favorite video games and such, I spent my whole day "cleaning" my bedroom. she was complaining about the silliest things like how my trousers weren t lined by color in two symmetrical rows, this is getting insane, it has to stop.

Is it reasonable for my mother to always have an excuse to let me and my fraternal twin sister go anywhere with my friends ? They always say no and their reasoning is "because we said so". We're both 17 years old (18 in less than a month" and they have met most of our friends. She and my dad barely let us drive to an amusement park that was only two hours away. And they awlays want us home before 10pm. They've never let us go to any parties and even asking to have one or two friends over takes a lot of convincing. We are good kids, if they tell us no, we listen. We keep our rooms clean, do our chores, we've never been drunk or high, even under peer pressure. Our grades are great and we got accepted into every college we've applied for, and I feel like I've never lived my life. I understand that my mother is worried about us but we're about to go off to college and be on our own and we've barely even left the house. My dad is traveling for work so its like shes trying to be extra strict while hes gone. Even this weekend my sister and i got in an arguememt and she used THAT as an excuse so we couldn't go to our friends birthday dinner and to her party afterwards. Its a 4day weekend and she said we can't go anywhere ALL weekend, solely because of that little arguement I mean I have great parents, theyve given me the world, but they're not exactly letting me live mine. Partly I've been venting but Im also asking, is my mother being unreasonable ?? Or is it just me.

I got my belly button pierced last September but I've been attending college so my mom never really got to see it until recently. She first saw it this past Monday when I was wearing a crop top and as soon as she did, she kind of froze for a moment as if shocked to see it but didn't say anything until yesterday. Her and I were lounging by our pool in our bikinis just chatting when all of sudden she reaches over and starts touching my belly ring and asks "So, how long have you had this?" I told her I've had it for several months and she just said "I see" but like in a serious tone. I asked her what she thought but all she said was "It's different" and then started asking me a bunch of questions about it like how the piercing is done, while she was touching and playing around with it the whole time, examining it I guess? And then this morning, I decided to go with a different belly ring for today while wearing another crop top and while I was chatting with my mom, she was again touching my piercing and said in another serious tone "This is a different one from yesterday isn't it?" I asked if she liked it and she just went "Oh, I don't know." and then immediately changed the subject! She is acting so weird and I don't get it. It's almost like she's conflicted about it, like she wants to make a big deal about it but also doesn't. I've never really heard her talk about piercings before so I don't know if she likes them or not.

When she sees me, she always hugs me(and we have lived together only for 3 weeks) She also called me a "cutie" when she was talking to her sister( I overheard it) Why ? She's actually older than me, but not by much(4 months). I'm 14.

Both of us have childhood hurts. They tell me to "get over it" and yet they love my brother who has a felony on his record (though he is doing better).

My brother moved in with her and is causing her nothing but grief. Her house is falling apart and my brother will do nothing to help. He recently my ran The a.c. untill it died and expects her to get it fixed. The only time my mother even calls me is to ask for money for some random repair or to tell me how horrible my brother is. I've stopped giving her money because I simply can't afford to do it any more. Now she guilt trips me every time I talk to her. I told her I'd help her sell the house but she'll only entertain that idea if I let her move in with me which is not an option (she is emotionally abusive and I don't want her around my wife or kids long term). I offer her solutions to her problems but she always dismisses them. I think she likes being a victim. My question is. . . Would it be wrong to just stop answering the phone when she calls?

I was in my room listening to music and looking at my IPhone when my balls itching really bad. I was wearing jeans so it wasn't easy scratching them at them moment. I unzipped my jeans pulled my boxers down and scratched my balls pretty good. After 3 seconds of scratching them my mom was in my room when I looked over my bed and she tried getting out as quick as she could after she noticed me. I couldn't hear her in the hallway because I was listening to music before she came in. She probably thinks I was jacking off by how this situation looks. It's pretty awkward still. They were itching really bad and they never itch. If I were to of jacked off, I'd do it in the shower anyways. I don't want her thinking I'm some pervert who jacks off all day. I don't know what I should do about this. I hope I'm not alone, if this has happened to someone else. Just how the situation looks it's pretty embarrassing and messed up.

If me and my baby mother don't see eye to eye can she just put me on child support because of that ? Also what are some m things that might land you on child support ?

I (mom of daughter) got with my my husband when my daughter was 9 months old. He has completely made her his own daughter which is amazing however she still sees her bio dad about 2 times a year and when she is home is telling both of us how she prefers her "other daddy" and she wants to be with him.. I understand that he is her bio dad is her dad (He moved away and rarely calls or makes time for her and when he does this cycle starts over) So to any step dads out there how did you deal with the child constantly telling you that they prefer their other dad..I am here because my husband is left hurt everyday because of this I do not know how to help him....if any one is willing to share how they dealt with this please help me. I am sorry to say the words step dad because I know that in so many cases the " step dad" is the hardest trying person out there for the child. And goes above and beyond for there kids no matter if they have the same blood or not. she is now 4 years old

The father is not my stepfather.

My sister is feeling sick shes been sick the last few days I've given her pills , I tried cuddlig with her even watching her favorite movie that didn't help. She has a sore throat and coughing a lot. I tried everything even hugging her it doesn't help. I think her throat is getting better but she's still stuffed up ans coughing. How can I help her feel better ?

she wears shirts that show her tummy all the time but she doesnt like me wearing them unless we're at the beach and i don't think that's fair. she has her belly button pierced so i get why she likes wearing them but why doesnt she let me? i'm not even that young, i'm 16. i'm skinnier than her. not saying she's fat tho

I'm 15 going on 16 and i just have the worst stepdad. 1.He is manipulative 2.He is a jerk 3.I believe he doesn't like me 4.And he shows the most favoritism For almost my whole life he has been my rock and my best friend. But as soon as my dad got out of jail i began to speak with him more. Now he spends all of his time with my mom and my sisters(which are his). He is the most proud dude i have ever seen. He works at a steel mill making 300$ a week but yet every time i or my brother asks for money he'll say get a job or crack an unfunny joke which makes me want to punch him in his stupid face. *He is manipulative* My mother has PSD and is very bipolar. Me and her get along very well when he is at work or is somewhere else, but as soon as the weekend comes and he's off he take advantage of my mother and makes her mad at me so when she cools off he's stuck with the better part of my mother. He also loves to buy my 8 year old sister candy every time he goes to the store. He persuades my sister to hang out with him and every time she comes back to me and my brother she always says my stepdad was saying mean things about us and it just doesn't really effect me that much (i can control my feeling very well) but it just rips my brother apart and he will walk up the main streets just to get out of the house. this is how he's *Manipulative *He is a jerk* He just loves to put me and my brother on punishment for no reason. It got so bad to the point where a walked a 3 hour walk to my grandma's house because of an altercation. I had attempted to run out of the house to get away from him he cuts me off from the backdoor and shoulder bumped me over the fence i then walk to my grandma's house bleeding rapidly(Not and exaggeration) and i come to her with a bloody hoodie. She patches me up. *I don't believe he likes me* I am a very smart guy (129 iq). I get honor roll and straight a's often. But if my very lazy sister gets a B on a spelling test he takes her out to eat and buys her toys. What do i get. Nothing ( i don't want toys and stuff) Not even a thank you or i'm proud. He seems o believe that he can get away with anything. After bumping me over the fence and cutting my arm up. He claim that i hopped over the fence to try and get away from him and he didn't touch me. Really i just need advice to put him in his place, to sustain a relationship with him, stay non-violent, help with my brother, or just flat out how to just live with him. yahoo will not let me post all the details at a time, but trust me it would make you sick on how mean he is

I'm 15m, he's 19. For years now he is really rough with me. He wrestles me to the ground, slaps me in the face, kicks me in the side, sits and steps on my face. He never leaves a mark but its really bothering me lately since that's ALL he does to me all day long.

I am 17 (turning 18 in three months) and I am in foster care. My past is one that I don't like to discuss but it's kind of part of my reason. I've always had a fascination with bright hair colors and now that I'm old enough to have my hair colored I've always wanted to try it out for myself. Experiment with colors but my foster mom is completely against it. I don't understand why she's against me doing something to my own body or why she assumes she has a say in it. I understand she is my guardian for now but it's still my body and my hair is the only thing that is truly mine. It's the only part that someone hasn't decided is there's to use as they please or degraded or made dirty or made me hate. My hair is mine it's the only part of me that doesn't have some connection to an evil evil man I'm forced by fate to call my father. My hair is the only part of my body that I still own, if I want royal blue hair one season and hot pink the next, I should be able to do it. Why doesn't she understand this?

My sister was 17, and I was 14. Now I'm 18 and she's 21. My mother had a lot of favouritism towards her and she didn't like me due to my foul mouth and I didn't like her either. My mum pretended that she didnt hit me that bad, but she did. She stepped on my ribcage, bashed my face on the floor, kicked me on the head, yanked my hair really hard, shoved dirty, bleach and spider filled mops in my face and scratched me really deep with her long nails all over my arms. I was stronger than her but I loved her too much to hit back. My sister had problems with college, she got left school at year 10 due to bad anxiety and in college she needed alcohol to get through college but one day she got drunk and had to go hospital. She's never had alcohol after that. I just think maybe loneliness caused her to be that way? She was cooped up in her room for 2 years and only came out to eat. She only went out the house like 10 times for 2 years. Should I have told someone about her, or was it good that I didn't? I really need feedback, me and my sister live far away from eachother now but I still love her but hate her so much at the same time.

I am a guest in someone's house. There are multiple people in the house, some are male. As a 20-year old female, I have learned through experience to be cautious around men. It makes me feel safer to lock my door at night and I also prefer to sleep in my undergarments. The woman who owns the house told me that I am not allowed to do it. This is her house and I understand she may have rules for her sons but is it normal to restrict a guest from locking the bedroom door at night? I locked it anyway and this morning she tried to open it to wake me up. When I heard her, I came to the door and she said "What is it with you and locking doors?" Am I doing something weird?? I don't think it's weird to expect privacy as an adult.

Would I be born to a different mother or father?

My cousins are both nine year old and they're cousins(NOT sisters.) I was kinda shocked to hear that they shower together since they stay at each other's houses to hang out and bring their clothes also. Their parents know about this as well. But is it strange?

The these need to be off my ship, but they reproduce so fast that not even my medical officer understands what s going on. If they get into the quadrotriticale bines, the mission is done for.

I have a sister who I ve always been super close too. She is graduating HS in a day and I bought her a round trip ticket to Paris as a gift. She doesn t know yet. The problem is it is my anniversary. I have two kids, 8 and 10, and my sister has always been great with them. One is severely autistic so we almost never get away from them/they always drive us up the wall more than normal kids. So we rarely ask anyone to watch them. Life has been so hard for us lately that we even forgot our own anniversary and decided to do something small tomorrow (before her graduation, otherwise we would have gone out on Saturday). It was a little last minute but I still asked 24 hours in advance. I ask her to watch them, she implies that she will, then messages me at 1130 saying she doesn t want too. I tried to convince her without giving away what I was about to do for her but to no avail. The trip is something she has always wanted and it wasn t easy to get. I m not well off financially or anything and I had to cash in everything and use all of my reward miles to get it. Do you think I should still give her the ticket?

I am a 15 year old boy and my sister is 16. Our parents are divorced and we live with our mom. My mom and sister are very comfortable being naked around each other. Like they'll talk to each other while one is bathing or showering. Sometimes my mom might finish up her shower, and my sister will strip off her clothes and start her own shower while my mom's still in the bathroom drying off and getting dressed. I find this very odd and can't imagine doing anything similar around my dad. I've asked my sister why she does this saying she's 16 and not 6. She always responds she's my mom no reason to care and tells me to shut up. I wasn't sure how common this is for females.

I just needed a day off to get my **** together because over the weekend I barely had time to do anything since i was cooped up with work. My family of course is mad about it but they don t seem to understand about my mentality right now. Please no asshole answers.

So this is were it begins... I'm 14 and female. My mom went to a girls night in November (sleepover) and decided to smoke a cigarette. She thought ONE wouldn't make her addicted but she followed peer pressure. She always tells us not to but what does she do? FOLLOW PEER PRESSURE! Anyways, my parents were going through a tough time too so my dad decided to smoke too. They used to smoke in the past too, but they quit. So now both my parents smoke like half a pack a day. I feel like I'm in a sticky situation and they'll become chain smokers (prob already one, they have that nasty cough). I love them so much and I hate to see them like this. Tbh I feel like they care about themselves and it MAKES ME SO ANGRY!! Omg I'm tearing up writing this. Sorry it's long. Thank you for reading!!!

at school literally nobody listens to me.. not even my teachers. i ask my teachers questions and they walk right by me. do they not understand how much that hurts?? i always feel like im a tiny useless thing that has no voice. i raise my hand in class but no teachers ever call on me, i dont know what i did wrong?? the people who i sit with at lunch (NOT my friends.. i hate them so much but i have nowhere else to sit) they ignore me all the time. on the inside i scream and cry and rip my hair out but on the outside im just like "i dont care. i dont care about anything :/" when i try to tell my mom or my sister about things im really happy or excited about they say "mhm.." or "wow.." in the way how you know theyre not listening. i feel like nobody in the world cares what i have to say. when im at school i feel like nobody can see me and it makes me think.. can anyone see me?? the only reasonable answer is that im invisible because it feels like that to me.. i speak loud but nobody cares.. i just want to cry.. btw im in middle school. the only person who actually cared was my dad, but my parents divorced so i live with my mom and sister and i never see him anymore.. :(

My little sister has been sick for a little over two years, she just turned 16, she tested positive for bartonella/babesia ( a cousin of malaria.. I know in America right.) These two bugs came along with lyme disease.. My mom has been working day and night for her treatment,giving her a strict diet and vitamin/nutrient plan to keep her immune system up. The medication has to be taken slowly. If too many bugs die off at once it causes extreme reactions...not enough and sizeurs (sp?) start. My mom is a single Mother, basically my step-dad is totally useless.Basically, I need to be there for her for emotional support. to watch her and make sure she doesn t react to the medication while my mother is working. Negatives for me are that I would have to quit my job and move to south carolina, hoping my company is understanding enough to take me back. I am 24 so i m just starting to take off really.Also my boyfriend is going to be devastated. I don t think he will be supportive. I think he will be worried about paying bills on his own more than anything else. And I don t want it to hurt our relationship... But my mother already has resentment towards him..I believe she thinks that I haven t come down to help yet because of my relationship with him, which is entirely true. How do I break the news to him, have him feel good about paying all the bills alone for a few months.. (oh neither of us have a savings account) and how does that not hurt our relationship??

I am a failure in my father's eyes. I know he will never tell me this for the love of his child. I don't want to be a disappointment to him. I continuously find myself in situations that I know do not reflect him well. I want to honor my father. I am a failure. I'm incapable of portraying the way my father should be portrayed. I am only me. I should only be judged for me not on behalf of my father, and my father shouldn't be judged on behalf of me. I have let him down. It hurts.

My husband and I got married two years ago. His mother and stepfather offered to help pay for some of the wedding because my family was it very much involved. It was a very nice wedding very small and very personal. Having a grand total of MAYBE $1200. Which I must add I was very thankful for, in no way am I ignoring the fact that they helped us with that when they didn't have to. Now my husband's younger stepbrother is getting married to a girl he's barely been with, and my husband's mother and stepfather are cashing out for the wedding. The wedding will have a budget of around 20 grand. Again I loved my wedding I think it was great and it was the happiest day of my life, but I can't get over this jealousy. My husband's mother is constantly talking about how she is so excited that Ashley is joining the family. I just feel like the same excitement wasn't given to me. I'm not saying I don't like Ashley because I do, i'm not saying I wish they gave us more. I simply don't understand why I'm so jealous, because I loved my wedding, but deep down inside I just can't get over the jealousy. Someone please help me try and work through this or explain to me how I can feel little bit better about this

Idk wtf to do when he always does, and I'm his brother.

Me and my mother and my little kids moved to North Carolina from pa to start a new life. We never moved out of state before this. We did this together. All we have here is each other. I work at my mothers little business. We only have one vehicle here to share. We live in different houses. Shes been lonely because we dont know anyone here. She never wants to go to the beach or do anything with me and my kids. She wishes my sister was here instead of me i think. Im always so good to my mother. I do everything and anything she asks me. She tells my sister she wants to go back to pa and stay with her. She wants to be with family. But we dont have other Family. Only my sister. Shes been planning on just leaving me and my kids here and not even telling us. She wants to move and close her business here when she does. Knowing thats the only thing i have to survive. Knowing i dont have anyone here and would be screwed if she left. Id lose my income and transportation. What hurts is how she doesnt care how it would affect us and how we would even survive here. How can she just not even care about what me and my kids will do. She knows its all we have. She doesnt care. I dont know what to do i feel so lost right now and im scared because i dont want to be alone here. Ill lose everything too when she leaves.

School is out, I am supposed to be celebrating. But, my Mom and her sister seldom speak. My grandmother is closer to my aunt and her kids then us as well as the other sister and the uncle. My mother also holds grudge against the uncle because he is an alcoholic. So last weekend my grandmother asked me to join her at this aunt's house. I accepted but I got there and the aunt got mad at me for coming because she wasn't expecting me and I have done this before (come with my grandmother). The other aunt was cold as ice though the uncle was nice. Four of my six cousins were polite but brief, not interested in socializing. I was miserable but apologized for the inconvenience and put on a smile. I am bullied in school so I can't make friends. My Dad is an alcoholic so I don't know him and his family only sees me when there is a reunion every third year. So I have no one is my point. I am miserable. I thought my Mom's sisters liked me but I guess they don't. If they don't like me then their kids won't as kids only like who their parents like. How do I get over my sadness of realizing no one likes me in the extended family either so I can have a good summer? I wish I could die.

When I was really young, about 9/10 years old I did something that now looking back on was terrible. i just started "discovering" myself. And, I let my 3/4 year old brother touch me. I m not sure why I asked him to do that stuff. I barely remember what we did. I don t even know if he knows or remembers it. Obviously, I wouldn t do that now. It s immoral. I don t know why younger me didn t understand that. But I feel so guilty about it now.

People think that me and my twin sister are best friends but in reality, she's the reason why I have low self esteem, and I cry myself to sleep every night. Whenever she wants something and I tell her no, she tries to make me feel worthless and stupid by saying "Well look at you, you're dumb, you're not even top and your going to the University of _, who the f*** goes there" and it works. In school, my grades are A's and B's, I take AP classes, and I'm going to a smaller college than her. I know that I'm not stupid, I try and do good in school. But every chance she gets, she has to bring it up, she knows that what she says hurts because I break down crying every time, but she still says it. She makes me feel like I'm stupid, useless, she never listens to anything I have to say. I confronted her once on why she says this and she never gave me an answer. I know that this is not going to stop her from being hurtful. She even told me that she likes to see me mad because "it's funny". Also my mom isn't much of a help because she always sides with her, even though she is rude to her, and when she doesn't, she tells me to deal with it myself, but she will always back my sister up. I understand that me and my sister may not always see eye to eye, but she does not need to be hurtful. I never called her dumb, worthless, stupid, I've only told her that she's conceited. I'm just so sick of it and I want it to stop. How do I stand up to her and make her stop being emotionally abusive?
