Posted: 23 May 2017 02:11 PM PDT

For my aunt and grandmother I am going to the funeral Friday. I am 19 now and hadn;t seen him in 12 years. He died in prison of a heart attack. He was serving time on rape charges. I am going for his sister and mother and I want to be respectful as I would never tell them I was glad he died.

Question: No one likes my sister because she is so much like an abusive relative of my mother's. Can I develop strong dislike for my sister?

Posted: 23 May 2017 02:07 PM PDT

She is a like an older step-sister of my mother's who my mother never spoke to again after her father died in 1989. I only met that woman once as a little kid. So can I do to my sister what my mother did to her step-sister?

Question: Dating past family member?

Posted: 23 May 2017 01:37 PM PDT

Okay so there s this girl. Her grandma used to be married to my grandpa. This girls mom used to be the step-sister of my dad. But my grandpa and her grandma got divorced, so there is no longer any family connection. Would it be okay for me to date this girl since there is no longer a family connection between our parents/grandparents, and there is no blood relation?

Question: I do not have a Dad and so should I search for my birthfather or will he just hurt me again?

Posted: 23 May 2017 01:31 PM PDT

He left my mother for another woman when I was two. I never saw him again. It hurts to see photos of him and know I have no memory of him. He looked so much like me also. I am 22 now and afraid if I search for him will he just hurt me again as he obviously does not love me. Or do I try to get him to love me? I am a guy and the only family I had was my Mom, aunt, and my grandmother. Never known a male person who is related to me other then some distant relatives I'd see once every other year and at funerals.

Posted: 23 May 2017 12:17 PM PDT

my sister is 4 yrs older than me and my parents think that she is better than me. I am an introvert, I dont go out much and have like 4-5 friends ..while my sister is an extrovert and has like 20-30 friends.. my parents want me to be more confidant and extroverted like my sister, they think i embarrass them in front of our relatives. whenever we are about to have a guest, they ask me to be nice and 3 of them tease me for "being me". I just want this **** to end and leave my house for good . its not like i am dumb and jobless or anything . I am 16 and i get good grades in school, i dont know what more they want from me . I want to punch each of them in the face and i think it will be worth going to prison cus of that.

Question: Is this a good way to make your overly Christian mom angry?

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:48 AM PDT

My mother is the matriarch of the family. I don't know why my dad puts up with her. Fortunately, I only see them in family gatherings. I have several ways of making her angry: My mother always leads the prayer in family gatherings. I always say that I can't partake in a prayer led by a woman. Sometimes my mom wants to come visits me. I tell her that she needs to ask my dad for permission, and I won't let her come until I hear from my dad she got permission. Whenever my mom goes holier-than-thou criticizing my life, I tell her that is not the place of a woman to tell a man what to do. I tell her that is what my father is for. Is this a good way to make your overly Christian mom angry?

Question: Why does my mother bad mouth everyone behind their backs?

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:39 AM PDT

My mother bad mouths my brother to me behind his back and does the same to me to him. She also bad mouths my dad to me and bad mouths me to my dad. She has the whole family hating one another and my dad is always stressed. My brother and I have no relationship because of this either. Why does she do this?

Question: I want to have kids but what if I don't love them?

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:24 AM PDT

First let me say I'm only 19. I don't plan to have them soon but I've been thinking lately. The reason I am having my doubts is because I really don't like my younger siblings. What if my dislike for my younger singlings happens with my kids also. I generally like kids just not my younger siblings. Also I have a STRONG preference for a male child over female children. Why is this and is this normal?

Question: Do you think it's bad that my mom and sister act this way treat me like this?

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:23 AM PDT

When I'm just with my sister or my mom they treat me fine. But when I'm with both of them my mom treats me as I'm an inconvenience and will not barely talk to me. When I try talking to her she shuts me down quick and gets aggravated. She also has told me to "shut up" while I was asking her a simple question or even telling her something funny. And on my sisters part she will pick at me for everything I do and criticize me to the core. This should NOT be happening with family. I'm literally always helping them with stuff and I'm never mean to them. Why do they treat me like this?

Question: Moving in with grandparents?

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:06 AM PDT

My mom and I are having rocky relationships right now, and my grandparents are willing to let me move in. They are younger grandparents at late 50s and early 60s... is this still a good idea?

Question: My sister and brother in law don't value or appreciate my time. What do I do?

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:02 AM PDT

Hello all, just looking for some advice on what to say to my sister and brother in law. They had a baby 7 months ago, and I love him so much and I spend as much time as possible with him. I'm unemployed and have been since the baby has been born, and I babysit twice, sometimes three times a week. At first I didn't mind, but when I started getting annoyed that I had to go out of my way to babysit. When I bring up this stuff, their excuse is that I don't have a job, what else am I gonna do with my time? Which I think is very ignorant, because even if I'm unemployed it doesn't mean I owe them most of my time. The hours are 8:15am until about 6pm, and I don't get paid. My sister is very sensitive and automatically assumes that I don't want to see her baby and don't want to help her out if I ever bring this up. So my question is, how do I bring this subject up and tell them how I'm feeling without a big fallout happening? Thanks in advance :)

Question: Child Support?

Posted: 23 May 2017 10:40 AM PDT

I have a 3 year old boy and his father and i are not together. I live with my parents and my son lives with me. He gets dropped off at his dads house every Friday around 7:00 pm and gets picked up Sunday around 7:00 PM ( 2 full days). His dad and i have not come to an agreement to how much he should give me a week. I pay 20 for day care each week and i drop off and pick up my son along with feeding him mon-fri. his dad gives me 30 dollars a week. is this reasonable? I dont think so. I understand he gets him 2 full days out of the week, but i have him for 5 and he doesnt see his dad in between. How much money should i be getting. I did not file for child support and I honestly dont want to

Question: Are you considered selfish by most of your family members?

Question: Do you have a religious Parent that pushes their beliefs on you, and how do you deal!?

Posted: 23 May 2017 09:19 AM PDT

Ever since I had a stroke and had to live with my Mother again(a fact I think She's happy about) I've had to deal with Her imposing Her lifestyle ideas and beliefs on me. For example, God forbid a guy friend visits and we lay on a hammock together. To this idea, She thinks we should be practically married(or going to) first. Apparently, since She is a frigid snowman that has no sexual desires anymore, I'm not allowed to either! Unfortunately, because I cannot drive right now, She has way too much access to and control over me. She has always craved control over my lifestyle decisions, and now She is seriously able to "enforce," them on me. It's resulting in me really pushing Her away. As well as the religious ideals She holds onto.

Question: I can t talk to or see my bf all summer. ;(?

Question: I have a sister who is an adult bully. What causes adults to bully?

Posted: 23 May 2017 09:06 AM PDT

I have a brother with issues but he is ill (alcoholic and Bipolar) so I feel for him. My sister on the other hand is just a mean person. She is not sick, she is just entitled and our mother has spoiled her since she is the youngest and our mother is tired of disciplining. Now this sister is an adult and acts like a 6 year old. So my question is what makes an adult bully people? I know for kids it is a common mistake like lying but with adults I don't understand it other then when there is serious mental illness like personality disorder involved and that is NOT the case here.

Question: Did I move too soon?

Posted: 23 May 2017 08:44 AM PDT

I recently moved to a different location - which is about 4 hours away from where I was living - so I can go to college in the fall. However, I initially didn't plan to move till mid-June. The decision to move sooner happened the other night and I am now living with my boyfriend in his parent's house until I can find an apartment. The thing about this is I wasn't able to mentally prepare for the move and I just realized that the other day was my last day of living with my parents, so I feel really homesick right now and have been having moments where I randomly break down crying. I'm not sure how to cope. I miss my mom very much and saddened that we won't get to see each other as much anymore. Is this what everyone experiences when he or she first moves out of their parent's house? How long did it take for you to move passed this? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I'm getting the opportunity to live on my own and have my own life where I can have my own lifestyle, but it's a very big milestone and a huge jump. Something that I'm not used to.

Question: Is kicking me out at 17 legal?

Posted: 23 May 2017 08:00 AM PDT

I live in Ohio. My mom is trying to kick me out because my boyfriend is white and she has a problem with it. She said I wasn't going to my graduation. So I deleted my valedictorian speech off my laptop. Now she is MAKING me give the speech. I told her I didn't want to because I have nothing she said if I don't she's going to kick me out I'm not doing anything. I turn 18 in 3 months. I already plan to move out when I'm 18 anyways. I'm not sneaking out and partying and getting black out drunk. She doesn't let me do anything. I even asked for a job and she said no. She is making my life a living hell because she's racist.

Question: I feel depressed after moving out, help?

Posted: 23 May 2017 07:57 AM PDT

I m a 22 year old girl who just graduated from a great college, got a great job doing what I love, with a boyfriend in finance who also got a really wonderful job. We just officially moved to NY from RI yesterday to an expensive luxury apartment. Our parents were so supportive and we are so fortunate to have them. Yesterday I just realized how much my mom did for me and I cried all night last night. She s amazing and deserves so much more than I could ever give her. I feel guilty for moving out. That s one of the only times I ve seen her show so much emotion towards me. We never said I love you or hugged in my family. She didn t have to say it much, because she said it with all she sacrificed for me. Her mother died two years ago and I never understood that feeling until I moved away from her. She must have loved her very much. I was the only one that listened to her work gossip and helped her with her school assignments (she teaches cosmetology and isn t great at writing so I help her out). I feel like I could ve been A better daughter but was always stressed out from working full time and going to school that I would spend most of my time alone. I just feel really guilty. I do have depression, most people in my family have been diagnosed with it. It s kind of scary not to live with my mom dad and little brother anymore. What can I do to help me feel like eating or cleaning up or just doing anything but crying and forgetting about it with TV. Am I not ready to move away?

Question: Is it child abuse to let a child dress provocatively?

I'm talking about toddlers, school aged kids, and preteens. If their parents allow "mature" or "sexy" clothes, are they exploiting them and making them more vulnerable to sexual predators?

Question: A problem with my sister I need help with, please read?

Posted: 23 May 2017 06:56 AM PDT

So I am in my early 30's and know I need to grow up. My sister is 23. She is a bully. She is a classic grade school bully only not as brutal as the ones that lead to crime. She is bossy and even tells our parents what to do. She insults people and is extremely blunt. She gossips some but is not chronic with that. It is her demanding, bossing, and insulting that is chronic. I think she is a mild narcissist. Now I am was abused as a kid in school. So I am extremely sensitive to her blunt insults. For example, tonight she was telling our cousin how 8 years ago she had to block me on Facebook because I would interact with her friends on there. I would dare to write comments like "nice pics" to her friends who the whole family knew which offended her. She said it to a cousin that had to block me because she was mad at my Mom who I see a lot and so family politics demanded she block all of us (my Mom's family). That cousin has long since gotten over it and moved on and is delightful. So these bully games my sister plays bring me flashbacks to the abusive peers when I was a kid who were just like her. My question is how do I not let my sister's bullying harm me? I have to see her at family events so about once a month. Our parents tell her to stop by our mother enables by caving into my sister's demands (she likely doesn't realize it). My sister therefore is never going to change so how do I not let it bother me? I am somewhat PTSD from peer abuse in childhood.

Question: Please help, i need to get away from my "family" ?(this is kinda long sorry)?

Posted: 23 May 2017 06:20 AM PDT

I really need to get away from my "family" they are my worst enemies, I really hate them tbh. they always putting down and saying I'm a bad/evil person when I'm not. I guess you can say they emotionally abusing me sometimes physical. I just turn 20 this month and I don't have any money or whatever. I want to go to NYC for college so I don't have to be around them anymore. but they say they won't pay for it anymore. I kinda think that's good cuz I won't be in debt to them, but I don't know where I'm going to get the money to go to NYC. tbh I really don't think I need college for what I want to do which is music but I'm only going for an escape. I was supposed to graduate HS last year but life and depression etc. have put me behind (I'm actually taking my senior year homeschooled). also, i don't have any ID so I haven't started working, but I'm thinking of making an ID soon and start working when I'm done with all my classes. I truly have to get away from these people they so fake lmao tbh. not trying to make this any longer, so I will just end it here. thanks for anybody answering me cutting my "family" out of my life in the future doesn't make me a bad person right? My "family have really caused me so much pain, mostly talking about emotionally and mentally. If I only had money I could just leave. I don't have any other family members so I really can't gey any other help. I truly need to find a way to not depend on them. my mental health doesn't even help too cuz I'm scared to do some things by myself. but i will find a way to get a job hopefully fall time thanx again

Question: We were talking marriage and the mom said not now ?

Question: Should I attend the funeral and lose a day's pay only to hear my wife complain about the bills?

Posted: 23 May 2017 04:47 AM PDT

This past Sunday one of my wife's aunts passed away. Knowing this family member I know this funeral was going to be about an hour away where she and the majority of the family lived. Here's my dilemma. I sent my wife an email yesterday when I got to work to say "let me know if I need to take a day off work to attend the funeral." In the back of my mind I was thinking that since she just died on Sunday the odds on favorite would have been to have the funeral this coming Saturday. Well, her daughter's planned the funeral for Thursday. So now most people, if they want to attend the funeral, will have to take a day off work and travel. In speaking with my wife I explained to her that I'm not sure if I can (or want to) get off work on a Thurs and now she's upset with me. I'm a contract employee and my manager on my job has been telling me since Dec that they are submitting the paperwork to make me a permanent employee. Again, this all began in Dec and it's now May and I'm still not a full employee with benefits and time off. So, when I take a day off I don't get paid. She's always complaining that we are so behind on bills so missing a day's pay could hurt. She doesn't want to drive to the funeral herself because she feels that her car(which I've mentioned before) won't make the trip. I have the road/travel vehicle, and before any of you ask, no, I'm not letting her take my truck. I could understand if her aunt passed on a Wed or Thurs so having a week day funeral early the next week wouldn't be out of the ordinary. But she passed on Sunday, why not have the services on the following Sat so more people could attend. Death is not easy and I'm sure the daughters just want this to be over but should I lose money to attend a funeral only to hear my wife complain that we can't pay our bills? She gets time off on her job and possibly even bereavement leave, I don't. What should I do?

Question: Why does my dad act like this?

Posted: 23 May 2017 02:42 AM PDT

Today, I went with my dad to the mall. We were standing in line at the food court when I kid (looked about 8 years old) rolled right past us in a wheel chair. He didn't get in out way or anything but my dad yelled "watch where your going cripple boy" the kid started crying and went over to who I'm assuming was his mom. Then my dad yelled "hey I think your car is leaking" what the hell is the matter with him?? Every time we go in public he has to be an asshole!

Question: What should I do in this situation [Dad freeloading]?

Posted: 23 May 2017 02:37 AM PDT

To put it briefly, my mother a foreign husband, came to the US and he made her buy house that is put together with recycled pieces. He planned to fix it and remodeled it. My mom has funded his plans, business, writing, and making a house. All never ending somewhere. He does not make any money and has GERD and unwilling to recognize and have the LINX surgery (artificial object). We are fine paying for it, but its his decision to not. He has aggressive behavior and laze around watching TV. We are going to have him leave, because he is only making our lives harder. I want to clean up the house, he'll get mad at me. Seriously the condition of house is stained floors, holes in walls. But if we make him leave he is too stubborn to live with his brother. But we cannot afford his freeloading anymore and his aggressive behavior. We are willing to offer him the GERD surgery, but he is unwilling. This is the situation of not helping a person unwilling to help themselves. But, I can't get over it, since I feel measurable sympathy. There is a side where he is not to blame. He probably has PTSD, but it is no excuse for not controlling his behavior. Someone with PTSD should acknowledge it and try their upmost effort to prevent the effects. He does not follow logic, but I feel mentally troubled of feeling like a bad person. I have PTSD because of him (and probably from bullies), but I have done my best to prevent its symptoms.

Question: How do I tell my parents I don t want any gifts for my 21st birthday?

Posted: 23 May 2017 12:59 AM PDT

My parents have always been extreme helicopter parents and the believe that I am ungrateful when I don t ask for anything material. I always need to ask before I go places with friends and it is frustrating. My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I want to tell them that instead of anything big, even a party, I want to have more trust from them. I want to be able to go on trips with my friends or even just go out to dinner without them lecturing me or making snide hurtful remarks. I feel like I am being smothered but I don t know what to do. (They pay my rent in my apartment at college so I am technically financially dependent but I can afford to go on these trips with my extra pocket money). Help!

Question: Should I talk to my dad again?

Posted: 22 May 2017 10:00 PM PDT

So basically, my mom was a teen mom(17) and my dad was EXACTLY 1 year older than her. She s told me about my dad, who s been an absent parent, and he didn t sound like a great guy but I always wanted to give him another chance, despite my mom saying she d given him multiple. Basically, he never helped out, never bought anything at all, and never paid child support. My mom got fed up, and gave him the choice of him helping out, or not being in my life. I guess he chose to not be I my life... So fast forward to eight grade, I ind my birth certificate and eventually use that info to find him email. I emailed hi and we talked for a little bit, but sometimes I was uncomfortable. He called me baby girl, and was pretending he was really a parent using things like "*dad mode*" and being weirdly protective. He also asked for pictures of me whe I went to Warped Tour the following summer, and that s when I stopped talking to him. I haven t talked to him in about two or three years, and about two/three times a year he ll email.... I just received and email and am considering emailing back for the first time in a long time... Also my mom doesn t know E and I had contact. Should I try and open up to him?

Question: I found my adopted sister on social media. Should I try and make contact?

Posted: 22 May 2017 09:43 PM PDT

After looking for months for my half sister, I have finally found her family on social media. It appears she does not have any pages of her own, but her brother and cousins do. They have pictures of her up. My question is, would it be okay for me to reach out to one of them to try and make contact with my half sister? Would it make it too awkward? Thank you so much, everyone! I want to make the right steps because I know this is a sensitive subject.

Question: How do i ask my ex-fiance where do we stand? (I'm so confused)?

Posted: 22 May 2017 09:24 PM PDT

So my ex-fiance and i broke up on Thursday and during these past few days I've been doing really well without him and yesterday he hits me up because tomorrow he has a court date and has invited me over for emotional support. He's my ex-fiance so of course I want to support him. I was giving him pep talks and eventually we were hugging and then he started kissing me. On Thursday we decided to mutually break up because there is absolutely no trust. I have feelings where i think he's talking to other people and flirting etc. I cant blame him entirely because i was kissing back and stuff. But I don't know where we stand. He was talking about getting a place and this and that but we broke up idk if were back together or what. How do i bring this up to him? I waited until i got home tonight so i can gather my thoughts.

It is her demanding, bossing, and insulting that is chronic. I think she is a mild narcissist. Now I am was abused as a kid in school. So I am extremely sensitive to her blunt insults. For example, tonight she was telling our cousin how 8 years ago she had to block me on Facebook because I would interact with her friends on there. I would dare to write comments like "nice pics" to her friends who the whole family knew which offended her. She said it to a cousin that had to block me because she was mad at my Mom who I see a lot and so family politics demanded she block all of us (my Mom's family). That cousin has long since gotten over it and moved on and is delightful. So these bully games my sister plays bring me flashbacks to the abusive peers when I was a kid who were just like her. My question is how do I not let my sister's bullying harm me? I have to see her at family events so about once a month. Our parents tell her to stop by our mother enables by caving into my sister's demands (she likely doesn't realize it). My sister therefore is never going to change so how do I not let it bother me? I am somewhat PTSD from peer abuse in childhood.

Question: Do you think that my sister did a good thing by locking me in my room?

Posted: 22 May 2017 08:16 PM PDT

My mom held this annual event she hosts yearly, and it is only for ladies. So all the ladies, all the girls and women in our family gather at our house from the time they come, until late night. Its always held at my house. And, for the past two years my mom has held this event, I was stuck at home. Partially because I figured I'm going to have a few friends over, but because its ladies only, none of them came. I wanted to be out of the house, but my mom convinced me that its my house, so I don't need to be out. At the same time, I didn't have a driver's license, so I was stuck at home. This year however, instead of getting jailed at home, my cousins and his friends go play soccer every Friday night from 8pm-10pm. I bussed two hours to soccer, and really wanted to come back home. I had a headache before the game, because I didn't eat. I had a test that morning, so I skipped breakfast, came home and ate a little since all the food was for the guest. I went to soccer, came home and went straight for food. My youngest sister yells at me to go to my room since its ladies only, that I can eat when everyone leaves. I got pissed off that I wasn't allowed to eat in my own house. I understand that its ladies only, but when its at my house, its my property too. There is nowhere else to get food. I'm also a keyboardist, so on the other hand, my aunt's are telling me to bring my keyboard. I was stuck upstairs. I called my mom, asked for a headache pill and food, and she told me that my aunt's are asking me to bring my keyboard down so they can have live music. I told them that my sister didn't allow me. My mom and my aunts convinced me that its my house so its not a big deal. Eventually my sister gave in after my aunts convinced her. I brought it down, and they had a good time. I got compliments while one of the women sang and I played the keyboard for them. Even the girls came by to listen to us.

Question: Should I spend the money to go see my grandfather one last time or wait and spend the money to go to his funeral?

Posted: 22 May 2017 07:39 PM PDT

My grandfather lives in another state and I don't have enough money to make two trips out. He's been given two weeks to live, I don't know whether to go see him and miss the funeral or wait and go to the funeral...I'll be upset with either choice, so I'm very torn on what to do. I just made a trip there two months ago and they say he's changed drastically; I'd rather not remember him worse than he already was, but I also don't want to miss out on any time I could have left with him. What would you do??

Question: What should I do about my brother smelling my shoes?

Posted: 22 May 2017 07:31 PM PDT

I am 18 years old, male, and my 11 year old brother smells my shoes when I'm not looking. One time I went to the bathroom and came out really quiet, and I went to my room and saw him kneeling on the floor with his nose IN MY SHOE. WTF??? It kinda weirded me out but I didn't want to say anything. What should I do? Is this a big deal? I smelled my shoe for myself and almost gagged, I don't know how he could stand it.

Question: Why do I like to be mean? And also, why do I like to do things that could get me in trouble? It kinda gives me an adrenaline rush too?

Question: Should I tell my dad that my mom has been harassing my cousin people on his behalf?

Posted: 22 May 2017 07:24 PM PDT

Background: My cousin is living in my grandmother's house and my dad, along with other family members, want my cousin out of the house. The house belongs to my grandmother, but my dad pays all the bills and pays for groceries. My cousin and her mother (my dad's sister) have accused my dad of taking advantage of the situation to get ownership of the house, but my dad and other family that want my cousin out claim she's too irresponsible to take care of my grandmother. Anyways, I recently found out that my mom has been secretly using my dad's phone to message my cousin and harassing her about leaving the house. While I don't like my cousin very much, I think my mom (God knows why she's even involved) is only making the situation worse by making my dad look like an *** and giving my cousin's story more credibility. If I tell my dad about this, that will just cause conflict between my dad and mom. On the other hand, what my mom is doing is not right and it needs to stop. So, should I tell my dad about the messages or not?

Question: My parents are fighting? HELP! Please read full story.?

Posted: 22 May 2017 06:52 PM PDT

I guess I just need advice because I'm feeling very upset, conflicted, and anxious. I always knew there was something wrong with my parent's relationship but I wasn't sure what exactly. My mother told me about everything a couple of months ago. Beware I am only 14 and please don't go and get upset at my mother for telling me most of the story since I'm so young, she was worried about her choice in doing so but I told her she shouldn't be, and it makes me more comfortable having this knowledge and being aware. I still love my father. Anyways, to put it blunt, I guess he's a BDSM sex addict, and he likes to do cocaine while having sex with other women on a weekly basis. The only reason my mother stays in the marriage is because she's worried about what he'll do financially and she's also worried about starting a living on her own. She has a master's degree but she doesn't know how to get back into business. One time the police caught him with cocaine and he almost got his medical license revoked a year ago. But he still does cocaine and because of that he goes through this cycle, where he's his normal self but he gives into the temptation of doing it every few weeks and is then depressed afterwards. Today, my mother saw a paycheck from my father and it was cut in half from his normal paychecks and my guess is, she's worried because he's putting money aside for his cravings or not going to work. Is there any advice out there for what she could do and how we can both cope? Thanks

Question: Calling the board of health on mom?

Posted: 22 May 2017 06:47 PM PDT

I had my son 4/26/17 .. the water had been out almost a month. We did have cold water and now we have no water. My brother in law took the old tank out and put a new one in. He never finished the job- my mom and him had some word yesterday now he wants nothing to do with this house. We have been out of water 2 days now. My 3 kids are here and made the decision of going to a shelter at the end of the month. The money I have saved up won't help me move. The reason why I am here with my mom is because she doesn't have an income and disabled. My sister and I pay my mom's rent and light bill. Most of the shelters are full here. We had a flood in Louisiana back in August. Most of these shelters are full .
