I am the father. My son is about to turn five. He has been placed in my custody through DHS. Mother s husband was abusive. I ve had him for 7 months now. I ve raised him my whole life. Me and his mother have been split for three years now. She has supervised visitation through dhs. Or her stepmom can pick up my son and supervise. On one of her visitation days, she Paternity tested my son and another man to prove or try and say I m not the father. She never told me, asked me or anything. Was this legal for her to do? I live in Arkansas.

He is 20 I beat him from age 2 to 19 he is afraid to ever be around me?

Ok first off my little sister is 8 and I'm 13 and my sister is EXTREMELY SPOILED. Okay well my sister is the average girly girl. She always wants monster high dolls and dresses and new shoes. When my mom takes me and my sister to the store she always ends up getting something. Like this one time we were shopping and my sister saw a new doll that came out and mom said she didn't have enough money to get it and she literally started crying in the store begging mom saying mom please let me have it I promise I will start doing my chores, or she will say mommy you can take my allowance for the month. Anyways she ended up getting it. And I got nothing. By the way my sister NEVER does her chores and I do.. and when I wanted something my moms like Oh you never do your chores why should I give it to you? Ugh It made me so mad. She ALWAYS gets away with everything. One day I was playing on my laptop (which me and my grandma split the cost for it) and my sister came up to me saying 'Joanna (me) can you pleaaaaasseee play monster high with me?' and I would say no I'm busy. And then she would start making herself cry and ran to my mom saying 'Joanna promised to play with me and now she said no' and then mom would come to my room yelling at me saying'If you told your sister that you are going to play with her you better do it.' and I'm like mom no I never said that and shes like 'Oh I know you and I know you would say that to her to upset her no get your a** on the floor and start playing with your sister' and as soon as she left the room my sister is smiling from ear to ear. Guess who had to play monster high? I did -_- and she always does this. Ok so this happened a few days ago. My cousin took me to the mall to have a "Cousin day" and my sister was crying because I got to go and she didn't. Well I got a hat, a braclet and some perfume. But my cousin was feeling guilty because she didn't get my sister anything so she got her some jewlery, a pink cheeta toy, and a bottle of perfume. So when we got back turns out my mom took my sister to Walmart and got her a Monsters University Sully mask, a bouncy ball maker, and so pink high heels! I was so mad. On my special day turns out my little sister got more than me! PLUS her birthday is tomorrow. Usually when I ask for stuff when its close to my birthday my mom usually sais wait till your birthday. Ugh I'm so frustersated she always gets new clothes, shoes, etc. and I have to wear clothes that I have had for about a couple years now! And everytime I call her the princess around my mom, my mom will yell at me. Yeah, its because she knows its true. So heres my question. Why does my mom spoil her so much? And I'm a good kid at least I think. And my sis is a spoiled brat! Why does it feel like my mom loves my sister way more than me?! I have never done anything extremely bad. Why? My sister diserves nothing she has right now.

So my mom is really overprotective. Like I love that she cares about be and I love her to death but she's TOO overprotective. I can barley go out with friend...or even at all if I ask. She doesn't like my boyfriend because he's white which is just horrible. No words to describe that because he's amazing and just the best. I've never had a job and I'm 17 and will be 18 in September. I want to get one this summer because I'm graduating in May. But when I get everything I need, I already have my birth certificate and social security and medical card, can I just move out? I would tell her the day and when I'm leaving but I know that she might try to stop me. Of course I'm going to help out with my little brother and come back and help around the house because they are 48 and 49 and I have a 12 year old brother. I'll obviously come and stay with him if they want to go out. I'm not moving out to be rude and hurt my mom possibly she just treats me like I'm 10. I love her and my dad she just grants me no freedom now. I'm going to just write a letter to them and when they see it they see it. I'll leave my new cell phone number because she pays the bill for the one I have now. Moral of this long this is, she can't file me as a runaway or anything right? She can't force me back in her house? I mean I would not** tell her the day

Even if i leave my room to go to the bathroom i have to make sure an intruder isnt in my room

My dad recently signed papers saying he is not responsible for my actions anymore. I'm 17 years old and my dad says I only talk to him when I want something like data or right before my bday but that is really not true. My dad abused me and my mother when I was young(about 1 year old) then my mom divorced him and he is also supposed to pay child support but he hasn't paid once.. when I visit him he takes me to a pub near his apartment and drinks until he wants to get in a fight and then we leave. It makes me uncomfortable because drunk men at the bar always try to flirt with me and my dad won't be able to protect me. I haven't seen him in 2 years because of this problem. My mom and my step dad already had to come and fetch me at my dads because I was unhappy. My dad is mad at me for being close with my step family. But they are the only people lately showing they care, my dad won't even try to fix our relationship. He said he is trying to make his girlfriend pregnant just to prove to me he can be a great dad? What must I do because it really bothers me.

When do you know when anything is over?

My names Nikki and I just graduated high school. I leave for college in 22 days and i'm SCARED to be honest. It's not me going to college I'm scared of because I'm excited to start my new life but my mom worries me.  She's going through a divorce and seems to lost herself. When my stepdad moved out my 23 year old brother moved out about 4 months after because how my mom was being. She went from being a strong independent assertive women. To being a WASTEFUL person and can hardly do anything for herself.  She got a 5 bedroom house for just me and her. Is almost a thousand dollars behind on her phone bill til I finally paid 500 of it. Wouldn't pay the trash people not because she didn't have the money but simply wouldn't go to the place to pay it. She always has me remind her to do this and that. Then even when I remind her she still doesn't do it. I finally snapped and paid her water bill because she kept saying she was going to pay it until up to 2 hours before they almost turned it off.  Then the thing that pisses me off the most is she will go out and buy a 300 dollar outfit for a club night with her friend but then come back and complain about her money! So her way of fixing it is taking money out of my account til I finally put myself off her account (she would always use the excuse of i did something wrong and couldnt be trusted). So when I did that boy was she MAD! That's when she finally started taking money from her little boyfriend.  She always wants me to go everywhere with her. An if I tell her I dont want to go she will make me or catch a attitude about it.  Then to top it all off SHE CANT COOK! Like she literally exploded a egg then two days later set a bagel on fire. So I told her I would teach her but she swore up and down she could cook. So she "proved it" by making hot dogs.  I want to help her but she pisses me off because she's not helping herself. I talked to my brother about it and his words were simply "oh well she grown". Advice

Whenever people find out I hate my father they always judge me pretty harshly.

I came from a family that loves me, but is toxic. My mother has always been annoyed with me for some reason. I think it's because I remind her of my father, whom she divorced when I was 4. When I was 7 or 8 she punched me in the eye "on accident". Everything is foggy about that moment. I just remember her crying after she did it and saying it was an accident & she told me to lie to my Grandparents and say I hit myself on the coffee table playing peek-a-boo with my brother. I was the only child who ever got slapped. I got cursed at & called a little ***** &much more. But besides that, my real father was never in my life and never wanted to be until just recently and he's very immature and stopped calling/texting because I wouldn't reply to him right away or shortly after. I am in an abusive relationship with a 28 year old who has had a similar life as mine. His step father was abusive to him & my step father was abusive to me &my sister also. My Grandparents are the only ppl who I feel actually care, but they have other Grandchildren who they do more for & you can tell they favor them more. It sucks. I feel like I have no one but my cat and dog. Even my sister who knows everything about me is also snarky with me at times. She loves me, but she tries to compete with everything I do. She will talk about me to my mom & try to get all the praise she can for making good grades & much more & I'm the one who is smarter. Should I just move away and start a life somewhere else? I have 4 siblings and I love them all and wouldn't want to leave them or my Grandparents, but I just don't know what to do with my life at this point. I cry because I never feel loved. I have so much sadness because of everything and I don't know what to do about any of this. It just seems like nobody cares for me & that's all I want.

I don't remember the exact words but she said something like , " yeah you put on some weight and if you cut out sugar , all of that will be gone " . She said this out of nowhere and she keeps bringing up my weight .. I am maybe 10 pounds " heavier " than my ideal weight or so. I'm trying so hard to lose weight but I am Just finding out I have hypothyroidism

She's 1989, I'm 2000

My daughter is being very difficult. She's 17 & is supposed to be looking for a summer job( obviously just like, waitress or life guard or snack bar person or something) but she isn't. She's supposed to be keeping an eye out & just asking her friends where they're working, she outright refuses & says that she shouldn't have to work on vacation. I'm threatening to take her phone away but she's not worried. What more can I do?

My sister and i are happly married people with kids. we like to go out and do things together but it seems whenever that happens she always wants me to pick her up or i have to meet her at her house. its becoming very aggravating, as whenever we go for beauty apps i pick her up. also recently we just went out since she covered the cost and i did all the driving as a thank you to her on agreements that the next even she would drive. well now once again she wants to back out and have me either drive or me drive to her house but whenever i get her or i do the driving, i go all the way to her place and pick her up etc. now of course she is trying to have her husband drop her off which still isn't fair to me due to our previous agreement. how do i confront her without starting an argument. i love her but this just isn't fair to me. (she lives 18-20mins from where i am and i go 12mins each time out of my way to get her for our apps) i have been very clear to that i do not want to do the driving that i wasn't suppose to drive and it just seems she doesn't care as long as she doesn't have to drive

I've left a previous question on this sight before about my cousin harassing me for almost 5 years now. My parents are now aware of the problem, more so than before, but they won't do anything about it and they refuse to let me tell my aunt. The reason being is because my aunt is actually my mom's step sister and for years my aunt didn't like my mom and got my mom's biological dad to treat her like ****. Now that the two are friends my mom is scared of ruining that bond with her step sister and father because of what my cousin is doing to me. I really want this to end. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid of visiting my own relatives because he'll be there. What do I do?

Yesterday, my sister called and announced "B" just had her baby! We were shocked because as unreal as this sounds, NO ONE EVER MENTIONED IT to us!! I was so upset. My sister thought we knew. I am so hurt that they FORGOT to tell us for 9 months. I just feel awful. I can't even call the niece and say congrats. What would you do, call her with congrats or just wait for her to Bother" to call me. Very hurt.

My daughter is 25 and I am feeling disappointed in her. She didn't do well at school or try her best no matter how much I tried to nag her to do better. She never went to university and so she's been working as a carer in a hospital ever since leaving school and not got any qualifications or made any achievements since leaving education. She lives in a tiny flat and isn't married with a family or anything. I've told her she needs to aim better and try harder but she just seems to ignore me. Why doesn't she want to excel and do better? I feel embarrassed when people ask what she does because my other older daughter is much cleverer and has a huge important career where she's very high up and I'm proud of her. She is going to be the boss there one day. Why do I feel so disappointed in my youngest child? I feel I have failed her sometimes.

I can't stand my SIL. She has sticky hands and cannot be trusted. She (38) is significantly older than my brother (23) she also speaks in baby voice constantly. I'm glad she makes my brother happy but as a person I can not stand her one bit.

When I was 7 years old lighting hit a tree next to my house and it fell in my bedroom. It took the fire department 2 hours to get me out from under that tree branch. I spent several days in the hospital recovering from my wounds. Ever since then I have been terrified of lighting and thunder. When I heard thunder, I would go to my much older brother's bedroom and crawl in bed with him where I felt safe and secure. When the thunder stopped, I would go back to my own bed. My brother told me that since I am now developed (what ever that means) I can not get in bed with him anymore. He says we could get in trouble if I got in bed with him now. He will set up a cot in his bedroom that I can use when I want to from now on. I will do as he wishes as he is the greatest brother any girl could have. Please tell me that what I have been doing all these years was not wrong. The VERY LAST thing I want to do is cause my brother a problem.

My mom and dad are completely kind, rational people like any parent should be. They have given me everything and more. I can't repay them enough, yet I find myself getting into out of control arguments with them over stupid things started by me. If I wasn't such an ungrateful and rude child, their lives would be so much happier, but I have so much trouble controlling the anger that comes out of me when we're arguing. For example, today I was arguing with my dad for a petty and pointless reason. There is a camera that I really want and it's very expensive. My dad agreed that if I finished a series of chores for "points", that I could get the camera for 1000 points. He said that if I get 200 points he'll get me the camera, but I just have to make sure I "pay it off". Anyway, I barely reached that 200 limit today and I assumed we would go out and buy it. But he said we could get it tomorrow before we leave for vacation. I went ballistic.. for no reason! Somehow I couldn't stand this and we yelled and I started sobbing and I couldn't control myself. I literally felt like trying to hang myself. Over a freaking CAMERA. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I want to be in control of when I acquire the object, just me being a control freak, but I'm not sure. We had arguments later that night which caused him to go crazy and push me out of his room (which is not actually dramatic at all for the situation, he doesn't get mad often) because I was screaming and crying like a three year old over a materialistic object. I don't know what's wrong with me. Any other 15 year old girl would feel blessed to even have a camera!! Even though I am so, exponentially grateful for everything they give me I act like such a spoiled brat. I want to stop this behavior, but how, and why do I act like this?

She wears skimpy clothes around me, has fixed her bra many times right infront of me. She's very friendly and hugs me for some reason. We once sat in a car alone, and she placed her head on my shoulder. She's very smart, sweet and hot. What should I do ? I'm 15. She's 14, but will turn 15 soon. Pls answer. She still does it.

Now I normal don t ask on forums like these but I m a little conflict. With a little back story to this question, I went to a trade school to learn effects makeup and graduated about 3+ years ago, but as soon as I graduated my family went through with a lot of medical issues. Mother found out she had cancer and battled it for almost 2 years, I took care of her the best that I could.my father had a stroke in the middle of everything with my mother but I couldn t do anything to help him. He and I were a bit at odds before that but I think we re ok now after my mothers passing. Now getting to the question, I haven t created anything in months- a year, and I told my dad I would like to create again he originally said e would work something out but I feel like I m still in the wrong for trying to do something I enjoyed and felt relax at. So am I selfish for trying to get back to creating art and not helping as much. I feel like I m being robbed of my life and choices because I have to help my father. There are a lot of complications with what our situation but I want to keep it semi simple.

My mom grounded me for being her words mouthy and rude. She took my phone my tv my ds even my diary I found out where she put my phone and took it back. She comes in my room freaking give me the phone I go no get out. She comes up to me and I thought she was gonna grab it instead pops me on my butt. I told her don't touch me again. I turn around and throw the phone through the window. She freaked she grabs me and proceeds to spank me she has not spanked me in years. This was probably the worst spankings I have gotten omg. Was she wrong?

Everytime you hear of a great father, people always have to compare him to a deadbeat. "Oh, it's so wonderful he's taking care of his kids, so many fathers wouldn't do that." The statistic, if I'm correct, is that 1 in 3 children don't live with their father. That's not even half! So why are good fathers always compared to the smaller percentage that are deadbeats?

I just finished my sophomore year of college. In my freshman year, I made some mistakes and ended up with a 2.6 GPA. My parents basically berated me all summer and told me what a disappointment I was. I told myself that I would get my grades up this year, but unfortunately, I still got some bad grades and only had a 3.1 for the entire year. I m afraid to go home and face my parents telling me how much I am letting them down. I know that if I keep improving, I will be okay by graduation, but I don t think I can take 3 months of my parents cutting me down, so I am thinking about killing myself instead of going home.

Within the last 3 months my mom has stopped cooking any meals, doesn't clean the house or anything, doesn't take the dog out, won't feed the cat or the dog, leaves stuff laying around everywhere. If I want the house to be clean I have to clean it myself meaning wash and dry clothes, dishes, take out trash, clean the bathroom, sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, and I always have to make sure I feed the cat outside and their dog because I hate seeing animals go hungry. Plus she will leave toilet paper, socks, trash bags, anything just laying around in the floor and I have to clean up. She has never been like this before, but lately she has changed so much. And she is steadily on her phone playing games, never wants to work, and for some reason she has been on a "diet" where she goes to the gym sometimes she will be gone 30 minutes sometimes she will be gone 3 hours, then she never eats anything anymore except lettuce and tomatoes which is also weird. Also lately she doesn't want my brother to be at the house she wants him and his friends to stay at the gym all weekend, and all day after school until 9 or 10 at night, yet she got him a membership at a different gym than the one she goes to. Should I start watching her closer?? Idk what to do. What do you think is up with her???

Like she insult my body, my dad job, my sister. She insults everyone even when I tell her that insulting hurts me. When I say to her to stop insulting she insults me more and I cry. She is 47 and WHY?

My mom doesn t want me to go, because she is worried that I would annoy my aunt that I would live with and that they have their own life. I know high school is from 14, but I want to start thinking about it and organizing things, as it probably won t be super easy to do. I do have reasons why I want to go there. Mind you my dad IS american so I know English very well. I do have aunts, cousins and people in America so yea. Do you have any recommendations on how to convince mom?

My best friend holds a special place in my heart. She lives far away but we talk often, she has been struggling through times, so I will often send sweet letters of encouragement to her (in the mail). She always seems to love them, I'll send them once every 2 months.. She has helped me so much this year as I struggled after losing 4 family members in a terrible car accident. I want to write her a letter, thanking her for helping me get through this very dark year. Although I'm afraid she won't like it. It's from my heart and a tad bit lengthy but it holds important words. I'm worried she won't like it, or she'd be bothered by receiving another letter. What do you think? Edit

I've been having kinda sex buddy relationship with this woman. We have mutual friends. She accidentally sent me a voice message through FB messenger. I heard her having a conversation with a guy but I know she has male friends so I wasn't sweating it. I asked her if I was going to see her this weekend. She responded through messenger by saying yes, let me know when where what time. Then she sent 2 more messenger explaining that her messenger app was acting crazy and she was going to delete it. Later that night she called and I sent the call to voicemail. Then she started texting asking to see me. I didn't respond because I was doing something else and she texted 5 more times that night saying she couldn't understand why I'd ask to see her and not respond to her. Again the next day she sent 5 more really angry text demanding that i respond to her and if I see her in person again that she was going to curse me out. I didn't feel like responding so I didn't. The day after that she sent me a light and more reasonable text saying, "really, your not going to say anything...u r funny." I responded 5 hours later. Then she chose not to respond and later that night I heard she hung out with my best male friend. Now 2 days later she text me a frown face. What is going on here and what am I doing wrong? How should I respond to the frown face?

I got really piss off today, because I heard a pregnant woman discuss how she wanted a girl and she was pregnant with a boy. She wants a girl so bad that she willing to want her child to be transgender. Are you f**king kidding!!! I don't mind people choosing to be who they want to be, but having little kids that do not have full adaptive and cognitive ability to make proper concrete decision and established right from wrong is f*ck up. Kids have an active imagination. Heck! I want to be bird and wanted to know how it was to fly when I was young and I was curious too when I was little kid what it was like to be the opposite sex (thank goodness my parents did not none of the stuff parents are doing now cause I probably be mentally insane), but kids grow out of those overtime (if not, than they could be trans once they have full cognitive ability ). A little 2 to 4 year old brain isn't cognitively and fully develop and there is something unstable wrong with the parents that make these decisions. This is child abuse. Should this be illegal?

He's 1995, I'm 2001

First of all: she's 20 and I'm 17. I've had two jobs, got my license, pay for my own clothes and some other stuff. She has only worked once. We both worked at the same place and she is very slow and shakey. I even did a better job working that she did and I was 15 at that time. I think she has very low self esteem because her dad called her names and was violent to her during our childhood. She only buys her clothes online but our grandma buys everything else. She even pays the rent, since she doesn't work or go to college. Our grandma is 68 years old and shouldn't have to baby her. Atleast work some and help pay for things. I know it's none of my business, but isn't that pathetic? She's overweight and a slob and tries to act like a boy and she told me she's a transgender, wah wah wah. Our family doesn't like gays or anything like that. I feel kinda sorry for her because her parents are stupid and don't care about her. I know everybody's different but why shouldn't she want to get her license or have the urge to move out? I sure want to. I don't understand how someone can not care about their health or anything. She's socially awkward and avoids most of our family. But I understand that, I do the same sometimes. I feel bad for talking behind her back and my dad also does it. When she's not around we talk about her and the family mentions how worthless, gross, and weird she is. I think she just needs mental help and nobody will help her about it. Should I try to help her?

My mother has always sidetracked me . She has always considered the needs of my siblings as important. In the house I am never treated as an important and respected member. Now that I have started earning I don't feel like doing anything for them. I want to live my life and do everything for myself. My family already hates me for this idea. I am about to receive my first salary and they are expecting gifts from me which I don't want to give . Because my mom keeps saying that if I don't do anything for my family, I will lose my job or remain unemployed forever.

Because she is also my sister-in-law because her sister is my brother's wife. Plus when my brother and his wife(my sister-in-law) have kids, me and my sister-in-law's sister will have the same nieces and nephews. That also means me and my brother will have the same mother-in-law and father-in-law. My sister-in-law's parents are like my aunt and uncle. My parents and their parents are very close and we visit alot. When I told my sister-in-law that I like her sister she laughed and said you "can't marry your own sister-in-law". For your information we are Afghans, and for us Afghans there is a real word for aunt-in-law and uncle-in-law wich also means there are cousin-in-laws. So we are already related by marriage but it will just look wierd. My sister-in-law's sister is like my sister and treates my like a brother and I treat her like a sister. I do not know if she is considered my sister-in-law too is she? Because in the Afghan way she is.

I don't why the hell she does this but it drives me absolutely f***ing crazy My room will be in a perfectly fine order, then out of the blue my mom will decide to do some spring cleaning every other week, even when it's not spring and move all my things around. Then when I can't find my things she starts talking down on me about how disorganized I am.. WTF? If you wouldn't stop touching my stuff I would KNOW where everything is, because I'm not always moving everything. Is my mother psychotic? I can't even talk to her about this because if I say anything that makes it sound even like I'm blaming her for something.. even SLIGHTLY she'll flip out on me. I don't know what to do. I want her to stop touching my things and stop interfering with the order of everything. I am NOT a messy person. Telling her not to rearrange my room won't work either, because she'll just "forget" and do it a few weeks later.. Ugh. I think she either hates me or is psycho Help

4 people live in my house; my father, my brother, my grandmother and me. My father is in the process of moving out of the house into a new place. CPS (child protective services) is threatening to take my brother and me away from my father and place us in foster care. My grandmother has lived with me for practically my whole life and is willing to take us in if we are taken from my father. Will CPS let us stay in the house with her??

Everytime I'm on the damn phone, my parents especially my dad asks me who I'm talking to. All the time! I HATE that! That's why I go in my room to chat because I know my parents are gonna be nosy. The always ask who I'm texting. Just yesterday, I was chatting with a friend of mine and my dad interrupted me. This is how it happened: (Me talking to my friend.) Dad: "Who are you talking to?" (I'm pissed at dad for interrupting me.) Me: Dad, that was rude! I'm on the phone!" Dad: I said, "Who are you TALKING to?" Me: BACK OFF, DAD!!!!!! (Dad takes my phone out of my hand and asked who it was and my friend answered and Dad told her to hold on a sec. The he scolded at me for yelling at him and sent me to my room.) My mom does the same thing when I yelled at her and she popped my mouth. I have NO privacy when I talk or text. My mom pays for my phone and hers. My mom checked MY phone text message and call history. I'm 17 for crying out loud! Why can't my parents BACK THE HELL OFF?! Parents, do you look at your kids' text and calls? Do they get mad at you?

He drinks literally every night and I really can't stand it anymore. He's not aggressive by any means, he's just REALLY obnoxious when drunk. He treats his health so bad, he already had some heart disease problem that requires surgery that he won't tell me much about but he DOESNT care. Today was my birthday and my one birthday wish to him was to not drink and he promised me that he wouldn't, but he's more drunk than ever. My dogs are terrified by him, they keep on busting into my room when he tries to pet them (and no he's not abusive to them, he's just really loud and obnoxious right now) and he's came into my room 5 times the past 10 minutes to get them, only for them to return again. I woke up and yelled at him to just leave them alone and go to sleep and he literally could barely form his words correctly. I'm just crying in my room right now because I'm tired of seeing him do this crap to himself every night. ALL I really wanted for my birthday was for him to not drink anything and he can't even do that for me. I'm so tired of him promising me he will stop and never following through. Just because he's not aggressive or angry when drunk doesn't mean it doesn't hurt me to see him drink all the time. It really sucks, I don't know what to do.

So I am transgendered and I want to transition and become a woman and no one is willing to help me. I have no support from my family at all and I am so depressed. My sister bashes me and doesn't want to help me at all. I am depressed and lonely and feel like I am out of options. How come they won't accept me ? What should I do ?

Are these feelings normal? I am 18 years old and the youngest of 3. I live with my Nana and Pa. I was never wanted by my Mother. Apparently as soon as my Mother found out she was pregnant with me, she wanted to have an abortion. When I was born I lived with just her for about a year. No love or care. She would just leave me, while she smokes, and has some drugs. After some time in court, I was put into my Nana and Pa's care at the age of about 3? From about the age of 5, I would see my Mother every second weekend for two nights. I don't remember a lot. I only remember little bits. Like once when she was on crutches, she hit me on the leg with it. and I know for sure, I never EVER had an attachment with her, unfortunately , - for a reason unknown?- I never really got at attachment with my Nana neither. Maybe it was too late. Apparently when I was a baby my Mother would just prop feed me as well. It makes me feel unloved. Whenever I see my friend's with their Mothers, it hurts. Is this normal? I just don't know, is my story even "serious" enough to be considered neglect? Oh, and forgot to mention, she used to put laxatives in my milk. yeah, yuck.

Im 15 and im around 5 9 , my dad is 6 1 plus my mom is 5 7 . I have a younger brother who is 5 10 and he is 14 . Im trying to get like 6 3 .

My mom and I have been arguing a lot lately. I'm 21 years old and my mom is about 48. About a year ago me and my girlfriend had a daughter. I'm still living at home as of right now. I'm a mechanic right now and money is great, the hours are long. My mom has been on me for every single mistake I've made. My life was somewhat troublesome along the way but I've gotten myself together. I've never used drugs by the way. I go to my local gym a couple times a week with my girlfriend, I sit at home and watch TV or I hangout with my girlfriend and daughter. To make a long story short my mom has been asking me questions that are really hurtful to me. She tells me they should just move away so I can live "my secret life" without them. She hates my girlfriend so she refuses to let her come to my house but will only let my daughter. It's made my life hell and some days I am suicidal because of how depressed shes made me feel. I love her but she talks about just killing herself to make me happy as if I hated her. I just want to get along with my mom and live a normal life. I know I'm young for a child of my own but it makes my life so hard when she acts like this. I try to avoid talking to her in fear of starting fights. They get so bad she makes me cry over the heart breaking words exchanged. Does anyone have any advice on the situation? Should I just move? What's the best way to keep my parent's and I relationship good without destroying my own life?

He pused me into the dolly then punched me. I'm visually impaired and 13 years old. He blocked me from going into my house. I had to lock myself in my dads car for 40 minutes. I'm so scarred. He said I'm a bling asshold. He said I'll kick your *** *****. Iwhat should i do?

So in the beginning of this year, my mom's brother, or uncle in my case passed away due to cancer in his blood, and in his bones. To be honest I'm not even sure because I would never accompany my mother or father to go visit him, take him to the doctor for treatments, and help around due to homework and other reasons, which in the end I regretted immensely, because the next time I saw him it would be in his funeral. My mom out of the whole family was struck by this the worst, and the whole thing felt bad for me because I only saw him when he was deceased. So this is the part where my form of homage comes in. I'm graduating this June, and was thinking of shaving my head in a way to commemorate my late uncle. I feel like this wouldn't be disrespectful because I'm altering myself for one day for him after the amount of times that I remained absent to see him. What do you guys think? Should I do so? Or not? I do not wish to get in too much depth on this with my mother because in the end she gets really teary and it sucks to see her like that.

My mother died overseas and funeral tomorrow, I can't attend as I am really sick. I feel sad and depressed don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

I was thinking of having a Spa Day with my mom for mother's day. I was thinking of getting our nails done and waxing. I want a Brazilian Wax, it will be just in time for junior prom this month! I'm sure she will agree, if not oh well. But is this a good way to bond? She can get a Brazilian too

Hey guys, I'm 15 and I don't know what to do. I only live with my mother (my dad died when I was 9) and she's driving me insane! First of all, I don't have friends (I mean, I don't even have a social life!) because she thinks that I'n going to do drugs (I never tried drugs!!?) and she told me that if I'd get friends, She'd never talk to me again. I can't even go outside alone. I mean, you probably think I'm mad because I have a curfew but.. No. I can't even go outside for 5 minutes, take the bus alone or even go to a store near our house! I have no freedom and she treats me like a 5 year old! When I was younger, she used to beat me and now, she always yells at me for no reason. I don't know what I should do... I thought about suicide but it's not a solution. She treats me like crap and she watches tv all day while I must do all the chores! She doesn't even thank me and I feel like I'm just a worthless slave. Please, help me:(

My parents both have their own sex website and blogs but as a soloist my mom has a job as a stripper and trying to live with this just makes me really uncomfortable. I wanna live with my grandparents but they might be getting too old to deal with me. Should I just force myself to cope with it? I'm 14

I'm new to this, and as the younger brother I wanna do it right! Thoughts?

Me and my brother are only a year apart (im a girl) and so he's a freshmen in highschool and i'm in 8th grade. I'm going to go to the same high school as him and he told me he was okay with it when i was applying but after i accepted my spot he told me he really didn't want me to go. So no one that i know is going to my highschool that lives near me besides my brother and 2 of his friends (1 girl 1 guy) It's really inconvenient for both of my parents having to drive us seperately if we can just go together but he's saying that i should go with someone else and i need to get my own friends but I never said i wanted to be friends with him or any of his friends. He also tells me he doesn't want to talk to me at school and i said i don't want to talk to you either if your going to be mean, but then he said we have to talk to each other since its not a big school and that i should just not have gone there in the first place. It's really frustrating especially since i don't really have any choice because 1. He only told me he wasnt okay with t until it was too late and 2. he's makig em feel really unconfortable abot going to highschool even though there isn't anything i can do. My parents don't really say anything to him but i'm glad they dont because if they did he would just say that im being a brat and "selfish". I really don't know what to do please help. And please don't tell me to just "ignore him" because if you've ever had an older brother you know it doesnt work

Literally just now, she called me asked me to buy something for her on amazon because she didn't want to go through the trouble of choosing something herself and I refused because I need to study for my AP exam this week which is true. I told her this level-headily and in a conversational way and she says that I'm only refusing because I never want to help her and that there is no way I'm really studying. I politely ask her why she never believes me when I say that I am busy and she hangs up. 5 minutes later she calls me against and says well I'm too busy to drive you to school and back home tomorrow so you can figure it out yourself.

I am dating a maried woman. I am 28, she is 29. Her husband(32) is a driver, so he is often far away from home. When he goes out of town, she calls me, just to say that i can come at their home. We are doing this almost a year and a half. But the last time, happened something that we couldn`t even imagine. After having s*x , we went to sleep. I always leave at morning as usual. This morning was special. 06 am, I got up and put my clothes on. When I opened the front door to leave, a woman (50+) stood in front of me. She got shocked when she saw me. I was confused, and before i could ask anything, she got into the apartment and started yelling: ''Where is she? .. Where is that s*ut?" She furiously entered the bedroom, and when i fugured out what was going on, i stayed frozen. She was her mother in law.. but what the h*ll she was doing there!! They started arguing, she called her a sl*t, a bit** , treathening she said that she will tell everything to her son. Suddenly a brawl happened! The woman i am dating jumped on her mother in law and they fell on the bed. The mother in law ended stucked under the knees of her daughter in law. I was in SHOCK. She started slapping her mother in law, . I tried to stop it, but my mistress told me not to interfere. After she slapped her mother in law`s face, she took my d**k out of my pants, put it close to her mother in law`s mouth and took few pics. With those,she blackmailed her MIL. I feel guilty, but i love her. HELP
