I am 17 years old and am going to college this summer and I really want to learn how to drive & get my license. The problem is, my mom and I don't get along AT ALL so I cannot really ask her for help, and my father is in Ireland. What are my options of learning how to drive? And no, I cannot talk to my mom it's a grizzly situation. :(

They said that next time I do, I will be grounded for a month. My mom caught us making out and thought it was totally inappropriate. We can't even sit in my room and watch a movie and cuddle without my mom flipping out on us. My dad is cool about it, but my mom just gets so bothered by it. Is it one of those jealous mom type of things? What's the point of having a girlfriend if I can't touch her?

I recently lost my swim trunks at the pool and when I got out not realizing that I was naked my aunt and my sister were laughing and wiggling their pinky's at me. What does that mean?

This will be long, sorry! Im 24, at 20 I got engaged and was asked to leave home (they didnt approve of my husband). Eventually, we hashed things out, but I did get married, had a baby, and have supported myself since i lefy. My husband and I have good jobs, he recently got a 2nd job so were not strapped for cash (im working on my masters) we do admit that we did everything very young but were doing our best to get to where we need to be. Recently though, my mother has become a source of tension for us. My brother recently turned 18 and is bound for college, problem is, he isnt receiving any aid bc my father made too much. However, my father switched to a safer job bc of his age and is earning less. My mother overheard me telling my brother to inform the school and see what they say. Ever since my mother hounds me to call the school, take the papers needed, take my brother, tells me to put pressure on him to get it sorted out. i snapped and said it wasnt my job to figure it out and told her she was never concerned when i had to pull loans out myself to pay for college. She then said it was my fault for deciding to get engaged, and that if i hadnt or had a baby, I could have used "my good salary to help your brother pay for school, like you used to pay for his sports equipment " Even though i currently pay his car insurance. I feel i need to let go but still very conflicted, my husband and i have begun having fights over it :/ Advice?

Okay, of course I love my mom, i mean, she's my mom. It's just... everything she does irritates me? Like, she's a vrey negative person and I hate that, I mean she sighs the whole time or she is too busy with her phone that she doesn't look at the road. And when she gets a day she feels good, it's embarrassing... she tries making jokes like yelling things or pulling faces but like extreme and it's weird and embarrassing because my friends are with me. I don't know if I feel this way because we see eachother way too much and don't really work on our relationship... but I can't take it anymore. Like, I could just go to my dads house but that wouldn't fix the problem and it'll only make my mom feel more depressed thatn she already is. And I never say anything near this, but my mom believes I hate ger or something... she takes everything sooo personally and make up stories in her head that would never even be true. She thinks very irrational. And I don't know how to show her affection, because our relationship is already weird and if I start showering her with hugs it would just be so weird and I 'd feel so uncomfortable, so I feel really sad because I want to be a good daughter to her but it feels like I can't be, we're too far apart.

im not her cup of tea

shes not dead but she might be soon (she has a really bad lung disease) and we live across the country so i never get to see her :( she's not good with computers either so i can't e-mail her or anything. it sucks :(

Then I found him upstairs drinking.

I AM 13. 13!!!!!! WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS??? I AM PRACTICALLY AN ADULT ALMOST I AM A TEENAGER WHAT CAN I DO TO GET HER BACK I WAS THINKING OF HIDING HER BIRTH CONTROL

My parents are one of the most selfish people in the world. When I was a student, they forced me to study engineering and once it was done, I was forced to accept the job which my parents chose for me.In short terms, I can only do whatever they want me to and I can't do anything else. Now my brother has finished school and now my parents have forced him to study engineering too. Not only that, He is not allowed to make friends, he is not allowed to go out and worst of all, my parents lock him in his room during night. He does not even have a cell phone. The only thing he is allowed to do is to study and nothing else. Unfortunately, my brother is not as bright as I was in school, he is a good student who usually gets As but my parents still punish him for not getting an A+. Once my father found out that he made a friend at school (He has sources who keep an eye on him at school), My father punished him very badly. I got married (Bride of my parents choice of course) but luckily she is a really good wife and a very caring sister in law. She suggested that we should take in our brother so he can enjoy his life but my parents will never allow that. They are the kind of people whom you don't want to piss off. I am nearing 30 but they still keep an eye on my every activity and calling the police is pointless, they never do anything. Once he told me that he will commit suicide the very moment he gets the chance. Kindly help me as I am very worried about his condition.

my dad said he fell in love with new girl at work,they live in apartment now. my mom asked me to pour gasoline on his new girlfriend while she asleep but not to light her on fire, mom says this will wake her up .will I get in trouble or mom?

I shown myself on omegle but then the person skipped me. I've done a mistake and I'm sorry but now I feel violated and guilty because I shown myself. I'm so stupid sometimes, I'm sorry! My parents don't know, my brother doesn't know but I feel like I should tell them.

My son & my daughter are fighting non-stop lately. He's 16, she's 18, I'm a single dad( their mom just up & left about 1.5 years ago, after years of fighting). It's usually the same fight, he calls her spoiled, or selfish, & she calls him lazy. Last night things got very out of hand. He said she was too self-absorbed, & she said he was too lazy. He called her the b word & she fired back by calling him an " embarrassing piece of s**t" who " we're all ashamed of.", as well as" a f**king loser" & then blamed him for his mom leaving. That cut him very deep & he just went to his room. I tried talking to him, but he didn't want to open his door. I reiterated that he's not a loser, an embarrassment, or the reason his mom left. Also reminded him that calling her the b-word was uncalled for. I got very stern with her for taking things way too far, saying some downright hateful things. I asked her to go apologize, be the bigger person being the oldest she said that those things, " needed to be said". She was grounded immediately, for a month. Why is there so much hostility between the two?

I'm using cellular data right now. I just lost my patience with my younger brother I'm 20 he's 14. He just doesn't understand the ******* phrase leave me alonehe follows me everywhere and he thinks he knows everything. My parents kicked me out for swearing at my brother.

She ate all my ******' candies from a trip to Italy I Goed to! And she didn't ask for it, i gave her a couple of candies and she ate it all without me and now she ate mine! Wtf is wrong with her? Sorry for my bad language...

I am a college freshman in Florida and for the past week I have been planning a trip with friends to go to a convention in Los Angeles for a week. The cost is approximately $600 total per person and we all will have jobs where each of us will have at least $600 and an additional $400 in emergency money to spare. Even though the trip is planned, tickets to the convention are bought, and an airBnB is booked, my mother decided that I was not mature enough to go on my own. Despite what this sounds like, I am actually extremely responsible but she has a very controlling personality. How do you convince a mother who is a little bit of a control freak to let you prove yourself as an adult to them?

I have been married for almost a year and my husband lives in his apartment and I live at my dads house as a full time caregiver. I moved in to care for my parents to take care of my mother prior to her death and I continue to be my 83 year old dads full time caregiver. The problem is I need help asking/telling/begging my dad to let my husband move into the his house. My husband and I have three children together ages 12, 9 and 4. I am also a full time caregiver to my husband who had a heart transplant 7 months ago. I do not work outside of the home but I do attend nursing school full time. I really need my husband with me at my dads house in order to properly care for both and my children. I just have no idea how to tell/ask/beg my dad that he can move in...any kind words are appreciated. Thanks

you may think that im being some melodramatic teen but in all honesty my mother is jealous of me and it didnt take me to realise it, my father did. me and my siblings have a very close relationship with our dad as he is more laid back, fun and yet knows when to be strict. my mother on the other hand is obsessed with cleaning and constanly nags, oh dont get me wrong here , its good to be clean but theres an extent thats just overdoing it for example: once my 2 year old brother had spilled his milk on the floor, that day she had gotten a belt belonging to my dad (he wasnt at home) and she had beat not only my brother but me and my sister, we all hudled up and had cried in m room till we fell asleep. now to the jealousy part, my mum feels as though my dad gives us more attention that it does her, especially me. so she uses the chance when we do something wrong to report us to my dad. she screams at me for telling my dad things that happen in our day to day lives. my dad always tells me to just manage my mum and to ignore her whenever she does "crazy things" funny thing is that you may think my parents are divorced but its the very opposite, please help. its so wrong to feel like everything i do my mother competes with it.

My brother in law has been living with me and my partner for over 2 years now. The problem is my partner sees nothing wrong with him living with us (rent free bill free everything free) My brother in law literally dosnt pay for soap to wash his own body he spends $0!!!!

But then again id rather him leave then recieve $500 a week from him for hyperthetically speaking. I need ideas to get him out!!! I want him gone!!! My partner gets very defensive and angry when i say he needs to pay or move out and get his own life. I am struggling with this. I also have bipolar and it really triggers me mentally and emotionally. Please help me.... i need ideas options sabotage ideas to get him the f*ck out. PLEASE HELP ME

I'm 13 and from Wisconsin. My parents got divorced when I was little and since then, my mother has had the majority of the custody (my dad never stood a chance). Living at her house we have very strict rules because her new husband; no cutting my hair(at all), no hanging out with friends (they think I'll get into trouble), I have to wear long skirts and dresses, do all of the house work(because I'm a girl and my stepfather is a sexist asshole), and more things that a teenage girl should be allowed to do(like be myself because they want me to be just like them or be on a sports team). My mother has also hit me a few times out of anger. I'm a very responsible kid and I never get into trouble, but no matter what I do, it isn't good enough for them to trust me. I don't feel like I belong there with them, and that they are holding me back from my full potential. I love my mother and I don't want to hurt her, but being with her has put me in a very dark place. Living with my dad and stepmom would give me so many more opportunities and happiness(I feel like a family with them). I'm just afraid of what my mother will do if I decide to stay with my dad more, even if I am still with her a lot. I know I would be so much happier with my father, but she would be devastated. Should I do the selfish thing and see her less and feel the guilt, or should I stay with her until I'm 18 so I don't hurt her? I'm just really scared and I don't know what to do.

So I ve always been afraid of leaving home. I m the youngest of 5 kids and my parents really ****** up on the first few. They spoiled me and babied me. I didn t do my first sleepover until I was like 13. Now I m planning a trip to Los Angeles to be with my sister for the summer. Last time I went there I was 12 and I cried all the time because I missed home. A few years ago I was suppose to go there again. They bought me a plane ticket and everything and I canceled the day of. Now my sister is driving up here to pick me up and I m terrified that I m going to cancel and I know she ll be so mad at me. She hates that I m so attached to our parents because when she was younger they were really shitty. I m positive I m going to go because I need to get away, but I want to avoid all of the anxiety and tears. I m 18 now. So any tips will help. Please

Im 20 years old. Im tired of the small town gossip. Im thinking about moving to Boston from cary plantation maine. But my parents want me to stay in maine.

Wasn't he apart of their lives in between prostitutes, hookers and future Ex wives.

This August I am getting married. But there are some issues with her brother. Hell, her entire family is one big issue but that's a separate story. Her big brother converted some years ago to Islam. Not only that he is part of orthodox branch called wahabi islam. I don't really get along with him. I think he is a man of weak will that ignores his duties as an older brother and hides behind his backwards religion. We had a fight a year ago. He told me: "May Allah one day lead you to the right path". I got pissed off and told him to never again suggest that he is better than me because of his religious choice. For our wedding we have decided that there will be no alcohol served until 9 pm. The reason for that is him. She was hoping he would walk her down the aisle, since they have no father. A few months ago he told us he would attend. Now the other day he sends a voicemail explaining that he will not come. I suspect that he spoke with his wahabi moron friends and the imam there told him not to go. He doesn't want to speak on the phone and only sends voicemails. When she texted him asking for a better explanation he laughed and says things like: "Oh come on. Don't be so sensitive. You are overreacting. It's one day of your life. The important thing is that we love each other and we will be there for each other the rest of our lives". Had he been within arms reach I would probably have punched him. But I don't know what to do now or who will walk he down the aisle?

So I keep things short I lost my daughter and my son because of bad decisions I made when I first got them. I d straighten out my life Grandin still up and down a little bit with jobs but I had a job that I loved I still have the same job and I love my daughter but she s with the person I hate more than anything and she is states away I m angry and I m still trying to fight to get them back but should I find a job and move to a different city All My Ex s family still lives here and I m not happy here I want to be happy I have friends here but I can make friends anywhere I can get a job pretty much anywhere question relies and should I move while still fighting for my kids to start anew to show stability cuz everything here reminds me of what was taken and be honest it makes me a bit depressed I never drink until they were taken but I don t want to say I m getting drunk but I also said I never went to the bar until then I still go to work everyday but I m losing it

I'm 15 years old and I saved over $500 from chores and lawns and babysitting to get a Nintendo Switch, I bought a few games with it, my dad told me he has the right to ground me from it which is so unfair! I saved up my money without having to borrow a single penny! If it was my phone or computer which my parents paid for I understand, they can take those things away since they paid for those! But they shouldn't take the Switch away from me, they haven't yet but they shouldn't since I paid for literally everything!!!! Do you think this is fair? I'm not even on it that much because of school, homework, and extracurriculars...

Last night, I woke up to mom shaking me and screaming "get up!! A tornado is coming!! I heard the house shaking from the wind. She said "put on shoes!!" I said I could not fond them. She grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me out. Power was out so you could not see, we ran to the basement bumping into stuff and shut the door. We sat in pitch black darkness. I felt anxious, because I was naked, I have been sleeping naked for a while and mom did not know. She made conversation while the house shook...As soon as the house stopped creaking the power came back and the basement light came on...She was naked, all she had on were hiking sandals!! I had never seen her naked before, and I had never been naked in front of a woman. I covered my penis with my hands. She looked at me and said "don't be silly. What you need is to keep footwear by your bed in case of an emergency". She walked out ahead, said there was no broken glass, and we went to our rooms. How do I get over the embarrassment? Should I say anything else?

so last night i left my chat logs open like i always do and well my family discovered all of them...all the naughty messages the whole thing after snooping threw all of my messages. there was a whole fit about it...cause my family are paranoid as hell about anything connected to the internet.they think ill get tracked down and killed....which hasn't happened cause iv been doing this rp thing for well years...just now being caught.how do i get them to forget and leave me alone...and how long should i wait to get back on the site till they are no longer suspicious

I am 18 years old and my parents are divorced. I have 2 younger brothers who are 15 and 12. My Dad pays my Mom child support, she used to get $2100 a month (child support alimony), but now she gets around $1700 per month. My Mom doesn't even buy us clothes. She buys us very few things at the beginning of the school year and that's it. I barely have any clothes for the winter, but I do buy some of my own stuff and I'm trying to get a job. I try to tell my Mom that she is supposed to spend at least some of that money on clothes for us, and extra-curricular activities, which we don't even do. I used to play tennis, and I had to pay for all or most of the lessons from my own savings. The only she pays for are my car insurance which is pretty cheap, and my cell phone bill. She now wants me to give her money for both of those things, especially if I get a new car (which I will be paying for). I told her that if she wants me to pay for my cell phone and car insurance then she needs to buy us clothes and help me pay for college. She thinks our child support money is supposed to cover her bills, like electricity, cable, water, etc. Who is right and who is wrong?

My cousin wants me to visit her in London, but I know she's just trying to show off that she's richer than me & has more friends. I know because she's always bragging, while at the same time looking down on me for every little thing. My brothers are the same way. Always bragging about women & material possessions, always turning up their noses at me & making me out to be a loser. Telling me I need to travel more, experience more, be more worldly. First of all, I'm a Christian so I don't want to be worldly. I don't want to he plugged into the matrix & I'm perfectly content with my own inner peace. Second of all, I've already seen the world. Celebrities, materialism, entertainment, women, alcohol & parties, sure it's interesting to a point but it's all shallow. I seek knowledge & wisdom, all that superficial stuff gets irritating to me after a while. All it does is become an idol & I don't want to dumb down just to conform. Third, I have different values than they do. My obligation is to my immediate family, not to a bunch of snooty elitists. My brothers & cousins can't seem to understand conservative values. They don't understand things like "home is where the heart is" and love of your family & country. They'll do anything for social status. Yet they trash talk me because I'm not interested in their immoral hedonistic crap. Why are they like this? Do they just enjoy having a "loser" to bash down? Or are they jealous that I have true peace while they're restless souls?

My mom is the best mom ever. But lately i've been feeling sad and have been treating her like crap. She spent $100 on my medicine which I didn't need and she brought it to school even though she was busy. She bought me yogurt cause my stomach hurt and is just awesome. I feel bad cause I treat her bad. I don't want to but something just comes over me. I try really hard. I always complain about the things she gets me. When she bought me yogurt I complained what flavor. When my niece got peanut butter on the couch she asked me to clean it up I said ugh no! And I feel bad about it. Like I love her but I don't like her either. I feel bad but I she annoys me for no reason too. So what do I do? I know I'm being a ***** to her and she doesn't deserve it but I don't like her either. I need help!

So I'm 14 and my brother is 16. When I was 2 my Dad had an affair and left my Mum, me and my brother. He is now married to her and they have a kid together. We still keep in contact with my Dad, he dosent live in the same city, but he's only a few hours away. I've ALWAYS hated going to my Dads because my brother gets everything and I get nothing. He completely shuts me out of his life like this sounds silly but he has a family group chat with my step mum, him, my brother and my brothers friend, oh and guess what, I'm not in it! Whenever I go there he's always going fishing or doing something with my brother and leaves me out. Also my Dad has an iPhone 6 and he's getting a new one and my brother gets the iPhone 6. There wasn't even a discussion they just gave it to him automatically. I get so annoyed and I don't feel like I'm loved by him...

So me, my sister, and my mother have been sitting around for like thirty minutes trying to decide what to do because my dads working late tonight and we don't want to just sit and watch tv. Any suggestions on fun things to do? Important facts to be noted: My sister is getting over a concussion so it cant be ridiculous like mountain climbing Something somewhat inexpensive or free if possible. My sister does not want to watch a movie, like at all. We played like ninety board games tonight so yeah. None of those unless they're bad ***. Thanks

Stories (don't have to read) [[[She's 15 and constantly takes my stuff. I left for a trip for 3 days and when I came back all my video games were gone and in her room, like 40 games just on the floor, some weren't in their cases just sitting upside down on top. I bought all those games my self and she had been playing them with her stupid friends. Some of those games were expensive! If she would have asked I would have let her borrow some of them that I didn't care about very much. She even borrowed my PSP and brought it to a friends house. That was $150 when I bought it! She let her choir teacher borrow my copy of Les Miserables. Again, without asking. I still haven't even got it back! I left the house to spend some time with my boyfriend and when I came back she was wearing one of my best tank tops that I have been saving for the summer. It's a shirt that stretched easy and she's fatter than me, to make it worst, she slept in it that night! Now it's stretched out and the sleeves are all messed up. All that has happened in just the past 6 days. It's been getting a lot worst. Before; she has used up my make-up all the time and doesn't give it back when I ask for it. She doesn't even have the same skin tone as me, she's a ginger (probably got it from our grandma) and I'm not. I have a dress with boning in it that forms to your body, so the dress fit me great. She borrowed it to go to a Halloween party with some friends and because she's bigger than me, it now only fits her body and won't even form to me. She ruined that dress! SHe has some black dresses, I don't see why she couldn't wear that! She cut up a pair of MY pants to my shorts Have have a cute sweater with trimming on the ends of the sleeves. She wore it to school on day and gave and the trimming came off. I used to have a shirt (because she ruined it!) that was really pretty and white and had lace on it. It was a really nice shirt so I only wore it on special occasions. She started wearing it to school and stained it and stretched it out! She didn't ask my permission to do any of these things!]]] _______________________________________________________ I have tried everything to make her stop! I can't lock my door, none of the doors on the inside of my house lock, not even the bathroom doors! When I tell her to stop she just says "I can do what ever I want" or "you can't tell me what to do" Even though I'm older than her she's taller than me and thinks that because she's taller she has more power over me and can do what ever she want. My parents are totally out of the picture- she asks my mom if it's okay if she borrows my stuff and she lets her! My mom goes into my room and gives her stuff to borrow!! When I tell my mom that she can borrow it she just says "When was the last time you wore that shirt?" HOW CAN I MAKE HER STOP BORROWING MY THINGS! SHE'S BEEN RUINING THEM!

I left my mom in a new apartment. She only has her cell phone there, that is new and she is not used to it (she broke the old one). I've been calling all morning, her phone is off or outside of the reception. I am almost panicking, I am in a different country and flying across the world tmrw. I am thinking she didn't charge her phone, and she is very stupid to check (makes me hate her for things like that. She be done stupid things so many times, making me worried and then always said "oh I didn't think, why were you worried?!") I feel like sometimes she does it on purpose to get on my nerves and get more attention since she is so narcissistic.

I have an anxiety problem when I go to school my mother is a teacher there and because of this problem is I m absent often. This is causing problems for me and for my parents and there s constant fighting between us any advice?

I'm 15, and my sister is 23, and she's constantly treating me like her slave. Almost daily, she's too lazy to do most things she can clearly do herself. She'll call me into her room and ask me to do something for her. This has been going on almost my entire life. And I realized the more I refuse, the more "asking" turns into "demanding" and if I refuse enough, she'll turn into a crybaby and say, "Okay, fine. See what happens next time you ask me for something." Or she'll ground me. And my Mom (the head honcho in my household) is okay with it. The funny thing is,I never ask her to do anything for me. And on the rare occasions that I do, she always, always says no. I always talk to my dad about it and I vent to him but I usually get things like, "Well then tell her off." But what I want him to do is to tell her that what she's doing isn't right. Also... she tends to ignore some of the things that my parents say. Like one day, I was grounded from using the hair straightener. (Cause my grades were bad.) And my Dad AND my Mom said, "Hey. We talked it over, and said it's okay for you to use the hair straightener." (she also took away my computer, my iPod and my phone besides the hair straightener.) I was doing my hair for school and I explained our parents were okay with it. She didn't care what they said and still cut me off from using her hair straightener, mine, and my Mom's. And lately, she's started hitting me again when I do something wrong. Both my parents won't talk to her no matter what I say, and I feel like I'm in a rut of depression from her treating me this way. It's insanely irritating what she does to me and I don't know where else to turn. Please help.

So i'm a 13 year old girl. Situation is complicated (Keep in mind my parents are divorced) Basically my father has a lot of anger issues, i feel like he is always staring at me inappropriately he is one of those guys who bought a erotic picture of a women and hung it up in his man cave WHILE HE WAS MARRIED TO MY MOM. He has been mentally, verbally and at times physically abusive so he is not an option. But recently i developed anxiety, my mom just doesn't understand. She was one of those mean girls in high school and has a tendancy to make fun of me and my illness. We fight constantly (everyday pretty much) and i feel judged and ridiculed in my own home. I am sick of feeling self consious around her and fighting with her and i don't want to live with her anymore...at least not for a while But i have no where to go??? Please help!!

Any time I got hurt she would get mad because it was an inconvenience to her. When I was 13 I cut my toe open on a curtain rod that SHE left on the floor, and she yelled at me for getting blood on the carpet. Then she made my dad come home from work to take me to the ER because she was busy cooking dinner. I had to get six stitches and she didn't care. Another time when I was five it was raining and we were going to party city, and my mom parked next to some thorn bushes and another car. I had to get out on the side of the rose bushes and I slipped and fell in, as well as my sister. She yelled at us to get up and not just sit there like idiots, as she stood under the shelter of party city so she wouldn't get wet. My dad had to help us up. Is there a reason she didn't care and would get mad when I or my siblings got hurt?

im of course angry and want to ******* kill him but theres other people who know about his philanderings and I wanna teach them a ******* lesson.

Tomorrow my moms getting neck surgery/ cervical fusion. It's from a car wreck that we were in last year, but I'm scared about the surgery, because it's so close to the spine and neck. The surgeon that's doing the surgery is very experienced, he's one of the best in Pennsylvania. But I'm still scared about it. Any advice? Thank you!😊 It went well! Thanks for the help

My sister and i have never fully got along. I love her and she loves me as well (i think) but sometimes she can get really mean and use a very discouraging tone. She can be really mean to other people as well. I'm personally very very insecure about my weight, and i think everything i wear makes me look fat sometimes. I tried an outfit out and my sister was on her phone, and looked at me for one second, then got back to her phone and got all. "Pf that doesn't fit." it's hard to explain how she sounded but it was bitchy as hell and my dad listened and yelled at her. She made me feel like i was the ugliest person alive. Sometimes she scolds at me and blames everything on me. She has a very powerful mind and has built up walls, she often says insensitive things. When she's mad she's called me "whore, ****, stupid, idiot, retard", and this is NOT ok to say when i'm 17 and she's 15. She knows i'm sensitive about stuff, and i get easily hurt by things. Like today she yelled at me for stealing her cap when i didn't even have it. Everytime i see her i'm litterly scared that she's gonna yell at me for nothing. She makes me feel unsafe, and she emotionally brings me down constantly. I don't know exactly what to do, i've told my parents a little about this, but throughout all my years she's the main reason why i've been depressed. I do have borderline personailty disorder (emotiona instability), which i know makes it a bit harder with my mood. But a sister isn't supposed to make you feel like the worst person in the world. Sure as hell we can argue. But this isn't ok. She's never pysically hurt me but she has constantly hurt me mentally. I dunno what i should do because we've tried to make her change, but she won't change.

Today was my birthday, and I woke up feeling excited to spend a great day with the people I love. However, when I woke up extra early to talk to my famiy, my mother saw that I was all dressed and said, "Good, you're dressed. That means you can walk to school this time." I was a but surprised, especially when I didn't expect that to be the first thing to say. I had a great day at school, my friends remembered it was my birthday and got me a giant cupcake and a couple of shirts. Of course I appreciated it, especially when they're the only ones who actually knew what today was. I get home later on and my parents are sitting at the kitchen while my four brothers are in the living room playing some war game. Is it too much for their sister to ask them for a hug? My parents haven't said a word about my birthday, so I began to believe that they forgot. Unfortunately, my suspicions were confirmed when I asked them what day it was. My father told me, "It's May 1st you moron, now stop pestering us!" I was pretty shaken up by that and quietly went to my room, fighting back tears. I've been in my bedroom since then and nobody has said anything to me. I overheard one of my brothers say I was on my 'time of the month' and nobody should talk to me. My mom told him to shut up, which was funny, but I still feel awful. It just passed midnight, and it's no longer my birthday, so I missed the chance to spend it with them. Why can't I get this painful feeling out of my heart?

How can I not hate my life? When I was born my father left me and my mom and sister for a whore in Vegas. Mom got with new boyfriend whom I called dad for 8 years he beat all of butts to the point cps would be called and I would have bruises head to toe. She leaves him and gets with new boyfriend and from the time I was 10 till the time I was 16 he molested me and I never told anyone. When I turned 19 I ran away from home with my pimp and have been a prostitute for the last 4 years of my life. My family found out and I told them I had been molested by the second boyfriend. My mom told me I needed to take a lie detector test. She didn t believe me. I stayed with my pimp and he beats my *** if I don t drive right or if I ask questions like whos calling you or where were you. I sit in a room alone all day and see tricks and end lonely and crying every night about how much I hate my life and who I am and what I ve been through. I rarely visit my family but when I do I have to act fake and like everything is OK when I m dying inside. I went to therapy and after telling my story she looked at me like I was crazy and she didn t know what to say. I can t go back to therapy. People I actually thought I could trust I found stealing from me and it broke my heart and trust. How can I trust anyone ever again? I am a beautiful young 23 yr old woman and am so broken Inside I don t know if I will ever be happy or honestly I don t think I ve ever been happy my entire life.

I am 13 and I have recentally made some bad choices within the past month like date a 15 year old behind my parents back, kissed him, and all that drama (no sex). They caught me and since they have enforced all these punishments on me that seem like they could last for months even for some years I have drifted away from my parents. I now spend most of my time in my room and only talk to my parents if I have to. Now to give you a sense of some of the punishments I will name some. Like I can no longer Text my ex and he is the only person I could ever text that causally understood me. My Snapchat is gone and that's how I text all of my friends and my long distance family. I need my phone on the counter before bed. And I can no longer download any apps since my mother has blocked the App Store on my phone, or whenever I go on my phone it is confiscated right away and looked at. Now this doesn't seem so bad but my parents don't seem to understand that I just want them to treat me like they treat my brother which is normal. I feel like my every move is being watched and I hate it... with that to be said they have made me drift away from them and plan never to see them again once I move out. Sorry for the long text but I needed to get these feelings out since I can't text my ex boyfriend who still loves me. I need help any advice? Good or bad I could care less right now if I'm close to my parents

My parents door was open and it was 10 p.m so I just went in to say hi and they saw me and yelled at me to get out I meant a.m not p.m and I'm 12

Hi.. this is gonna be a bit of a rant but honestly i'm sick and tired of things. im only 14 and my mom has been verbally abusive towards me lately, saying how she wants to beat the f*ck out of me and how she says that she "can't believe that she had us" including my brother and today is the worst day ever. its been a super hot day today and we have literally no food in the fridge. Except maybe if you want some mustard and ketchup, then sure. our cabinets are filled with canned foods and noodles with nothing to cover for it. my mom buys chicken and expects my 11 year old brother to cook it. my brother can't cook this kind of stuff because my mom had never taught him, most he can do is microwave things. she said "when i was 9 i cooked all by myself" and that's not even the point she bought that chicken to cook it for us but she says she's too lazy and doesn't want too. another problem is there's nothing to keep us hydrated except for water from the sink which i've always had a problem drinking from. my mom goes out and buys two smoothies for herself and my uncle but doesn't even dare to buy my brother or me something. and its about 100 degrees outside. she takes all the fans to her room even the ones she doesn't use just so we can't use a fan. my mom won't even let me call my grandma for some help with food or drinks. please help. she's been really rude and i've been thinking and talking to my school counselor and getting help

Last summer, I was curious on what my friends d1ck looked like. I bet him he wouldn't go into the stalls and take off his clothes. he did and then i stole them. I know im and assshole but i saw his d1ck. I then tossed him back his clothes and ran. on my way out i saw his dad walking toward the bathroom building. there was no way he could have gotten his clothes back on in time before his dad walked in. now i feel like his dad might be suspicious on what he was doing in there with me. I saw the kid the next day at a music festival and he wasnt mad. But i only saw his dad from the distance. Will his dad be mad. Would you be mad if you were the dad in this situation? Please help and only serious answers. I'll see the kid in june.

I'm 27 and she's 24 and gets everything she wants. She has a brand new iPhone and I have a crappy go phone. For Christmas she got a smart TV last year and I got a $20 gift card from target. She also has a boyfriend and I don't and she knew I really liked him but didn't care and rubs it in my face. She also lives on her own and I don't and my mom says I can't even though I'm not disabled I just have minor learning disabilities. She gets to spend her money however she wants and mom monitors my bank account. It's not fair and when I tell mom all she says is, "You're not her and I trust her." She gets drunk all the time and mom never says anything but if I have two glasses of wine mom gets angry. What do I do?

So my mother, ever since I was little, would get random outbursts of rage. This happened when she was stressed and most when she was cleaning. She used to throw stuff and yell and slam doors and still does. I saw her throw her phone at the wall and smash a lamp. She does this when something has frustrated her, like the cats scratching the couch or us kids leaving our phone chargers in the wall. Most recently I came home to see our blinds were completely destroyed (ripped down and apart), her phone was broken, she had broken my giant magnet and ripped the cable box out of the wall. She comes to these furious epiphanies about how something needs to change like "I'm tired of these f***ing cats in my house!!" And goes on a rampage. I'm honestly wondering if this is normal. Do other people's parents do this. I'm 15 and my mother is 43.

Okay I am so SICK about some people telling me specially my mom that I should start settling down when honestly I'm not ready to make that step yet! My mom has been telling me to settle down since the day I turned 21 and now I'll be 25 soon and my mom is more persistent about me settling down in terms of stop going to clubs and bars, that I should plan on marriage soon and to have kids. STOP! REALLY? HA I DON'T THINK SO! In a few months I'll be only 25 still a college boy waiting to enter the Cardiovascular Technology program and also looking forward to a Radiology Tech program. I also work partime and yes I'm still living with my parents but I do pay some bills in the house and I try helping my family on what I can. So really I don't think an average 25 year old boy today is ready to hit that step, a few are but not everyone. See at 25 people haven't really live life yet and most don't even know who they are either. It's not like 25 is a magic number that is going to change you in one second, that is B.S.. They are just young adults. For instance I'm the youngest of 2 brothers and 3 sisters and my older brother and two older sisters did not settle down until they were all in their 30s, and even most of my older cousins and my brothers close friends especially guys did not settle down till they were in their 30s too only one did it at 29 but still, they all claim to say that at 30something they all felt mature and ready to make those big decisions. Well sounds logic to me. and I now believe 30something "NOT age 30" 30something is the time to start thinking about all of those things since in today's society growing up today is not the same as it was before in earlier times in history. There is even a song of Jay Z called 30 something! For those who are only 25 and having a mid life crisis since now, that is probably because people just like my mom are making them feel that way which is very stupid, ignorant and wrong SORRY BUT ITS TRUE! there shouldn't be any reason for that crap anyways. SO STOP! If a kid by 25 is still immature and lost in life SO WHAT! It's not the end of the world. People should mind their own business, let a poor 25 year old live life to the fullest and have fun. It's okay to not have a clue of what to do in life at 25 or not have a career, or not to have everything you thought you would have at this age, or to still be in school. There is still plenty of time ahead to work on those goals. Seriously for those who are 25 let me tell you don't let anyone put you down telling you are too old to party, to get drunk or to go clubbing and that you have to fully grow up right now. NO WAY! No one grows up in one day you basically grow up with time let time take care of that. Just live it up baby and have fun 25 is still very tender and prime in life. 25 is the new 21 there is no difference so enjoy. You only live once, youth is short in life, mind as well live it up go do crazy stuff have some drinks go chill at bars, go clubbing etc.. And stop thinking you are too old and that you are a loser for not having anything accomplish yet, you are technically still a kid and you have a whole life ahead to accomplish those dreams. I honestly feel is embarrassing to turn 25 and have lots of people of this age that are entering a mid life crisis this early, it might feel like a mile stone but there is no such thing. SO STOP IT! I am not feeling this crisis at all. I only know you are still very young full of energy to enjoy life which at this age it should still be an adventure to us. Having fun, exploring life and getting a great education should always come first. Trust me I wish somebody would have told me all this when I was feeling a little down but I had to think about all this myself. Hope this is a great support for those unhappy 25 year olds. As for me, I am confident I will have all my goals accomplished and I am also sure I'll be ready to settle down and have a family one day but NOT NOW.. So okay just let a 25 year old live life to the fullest, let a 25 year old act all crazy, let me live and enjoy life! Is that very hard to ask and understand?

Im a 14 year old girl, and both me and my mother are sick, and on edge so we started fighting. Then my dad came in here and said he was sick of this sh*t and for us to shut the h*ll up. My mom screamed at him and told him not to talk to us like that so he left. Then we resumed fighting and my mom said something really mean so I stormed out. My dad cornered me and told me to get in my room and I told him not to f*cking tell me what to do. Then he pushed me hard into my room and on to my bed and said "I don't every want to f*cking hear you say that word again" and started smacking me around. I feel terrible so I couldn't fight back, he's strong so I probably wouldn't have been able to overpower him anyway. I was so pissed and traumatized that when he stop I told him to go f*ck himself. He started beating me harder. I have terrible panic attacks, and emotional anxiety, I do NOT deal with stress well. So I started shaking and crying but he wouldn't stop. I finally apologized and begged for him to stop and finally he did, and said "you haven't begun to see me angry yet, you stupid *****." And he told me if I didn't stop crying that he would come back. I snuck away and got a bat and a knife to protect myself, but I can't stop wailing and shaking, I feel like I can't breathe. I don't know what to do, nothing like this has ever happed to me before, PLEASE HELP. I'm sorry if this is bad grammar, or hard to read, I'm just really upset.

She used to call every now & then and interfere so much in the smallest things like what I should cook for his son. She would call me & give orders like a maid on what I should cook for his son, clean the house and even what should I wear. I should give him water when he comes home and should touch his feet, etc There was a time when I was staying with my in laws for 10 days after marriage. My MIL would often insult my parents. She would tell that my parents have given me less gold.. the quality of product they have sent is not good. I mean what the ****! I m no way dependent on your son or your family. I can earn my own bread and butter. With her behavior, I feel like a ****. If I tell my parents they just cry like helpless people. My MIL even called my mother directly and shouted on her. My mother being so naive just kept quiet and cried later for the sake of my marriage. My husband is just a mute mama's boy. He wastes my money like anything now. I feel bad my hard earned money being wasted like that but he won't listen to me. My mil feels that she has some right on my earnings also. I just want to make her understand very clearly that she doesn't have any right on my life or my earning and stay away from my life My mother in law has made my life a living hell. I'm a well educated woman and I earn better than my husband.. but during the first 1 year of marriage, I was not working.
