Purely hypothetical question. I don't know anyone whose family is this fvcked up!!

The episode she was watching had a lot of sexual content, but when I told my mom about it, she just sat there and didn't interact with my sister at all. WTF?

I think I was mistaken.. I looked on facebook, and the children of the father says "happy fathers day!" But in this case. I think I made a mistake.. what should I say to my uncle now?

I am tired of being beat down by my father's verbal abuse and shaming. Should I disengage completely? When I don't call my father for a while, I get guilt tripped for it. Yet he never calls me. When I do call, he's always "at the checkout" (even after the store closed) and "has to go." When my father arrives at my condo, across the country from him, and for his first visit in years, the first thing he says when he walks in the door is, "I don't remember this place being so dumpy." (Nevermind that his house is a total dump. Projection I guess? But still not cool...) When I tell my father a TV producer called to say he's interested in turning a book I wrote into a TV show, all he can say is, "He probably probably called 10 other people, too." Or I go to his nasty, controlling girlfriend's house to move her air conditioner out of her window -- as a favor to my dad -- and then I tell my dad, "I'll move it alone because I don't want you to hurt your back." I forget to bend my knees fully, and accidentally strain myself. When I wince in pain, he says, "Oh, so you're Mr. Tough Guy, huh?" When I struggle with anything at all, he says, "I thought you were the smart one." Is this abuse? Should I just cut all ties and disengage completely? BTW, all thru childhood, he yelled at me and called me a "f****** brat," "a******," etc. ...

i love going out at night even if its just driving around with someone. me & my sister used to go out all the time but saldy drugs are controlling her. my parents dont let me go out when i want to & i cant sneak out what do i do

My mom told me a few days ago that I woke up all of a sudden and was looking around the room wildly and I was yelling it's not my exit it's not my exit and I went back to bed and I sat up and did it again but I don't remebr this at all I don't even remember freaking now I'm worried the other night at a different hotel I thought a saw an orb on the wall but just ignored it as just the light or something but now after I heard what my parents said I'm worried

This ***** wants me to live. With my mom and dad . Every ******* day . I live wth my grandma and grandpa . Am i right to kick her out of the family . Who's right Me or her?

I m 13 and I have 2 parents and a brother. They constently say I m abusing them and threatan to call the cops a lot. Sometimes they forget that I haven t eaten breakfast or dinner, don t care that I dont eat lunch at school. My dad screams at me and pins me up against the wall and says that he s not being abusive and that he could call the cops and let them watch him slap me. My mom is fine, but sometimes I m worried because she pulls my hair to move me around and screams at me and says that I m abusing her. My brother always seems scared that my dad s goin gto scream at us too... I m treated as though I m the one whos cauding the family to be so dysfunctional and I love my mom too much to report her

The past few days, my dad, who is in his late 60s, has had a major personality change. He is constantly in a bad mood, and sighs in annoyance a lot throughout the day. When I talk to mum, my dad would sigh in annoyance or say "oh, no..." if I bring up a subject twice. He has yelled at me many times now, has called me a "moron" and "ignorant". The way he yells, it makes me frightened, upset and traumatised - yes, that's how bad it is. He never used to be like this when I was growing up. Then out of the blue, he changes? So just today, I came back from doing two hours of errands. I returned home at about midnight, and my parents were preparing lunch by using the microwave. As I came in and unpacked my stuff, my dad complained about the lack of space there was now I was home. He got to the microwave and slammed it aggressively which sent my stomache churning and my heart rate racing like panic attack - and I believe that slamming was directed to me. Yes, my dad has been nasty to me in the past but this is the first time he has ever lashed out at me like this. I believe it was directed at me, because he just blew up in anger when I got home.

I stsrted a new job March 20th. I had 2 weeks of training. Then i started my position. However i found out i do not like my job. The workers are a bunch of bullies who basically put me down and made me redo my training because they felt like i couldnt do it correct. Its not the consumers (people with disabilities fault). I told my mom i want to leave and she tells me "what is that going to do? Think of the paycheck you will get and how much money you will have by the end of the year". Last friday a worker told me directly to my face when i went to help her "i do not work with scared people come on!" They switched my position but i waited one month already. Still getting stares from people at my job. By the way i am 24 years old and yes i already have a second job which i had way longer than this one. The newer one pays more but i hate being bullied and harrassed and my mom doesnt understand.

i really want a poodle ty beanie baby but the only color the poodle comes in is rainbow and i would like a brown one to more resemble my own poodle. so can i buy a fabric dye from walmart and just dye the fur of my ty beanie baby? pls someone answer im a desperate person waiting to order my rainbow beanie baby

I honestly don't know if this is counted as harassment, but the more I read about other girls experiences the more I began to worry about this. My stepfather has begun to slap my butt with whatever is in his hands and he always does it when my mom isn't around or not looking. He's made plenty of sexual jokes around me in the past and talks about how big my butt is. My mom just laughs when she hears him say that because she thinks he's joking but she doesn't know about him touching me. Is it something to do something about? I'm starting to get scared and really, really uncomfortable.

The aunt resents her daughter and her daughter's interest in reconnecting with her father and his family. Her father is a severe alcoholic and to get revenge for the divorce and at times to protect her kids my aunt severed all ties with her ex-husband and his family after the divorce was finalized. This was in 2001 or 2002. Now my cousin is an adult (around age 25-30) and wants to reconnect with her father and his family but slowly. My aunt resents her daughter because the daughter has some issues. She does not resent the other three kids she has. This ads to the conflict. So how do I avoid being in trouble with my aunt if she finds out I helped my cousin find her father and his family? The aunt can go into rages.

I just had another Father's Day without my Dad. My mother won't let me see him and he won't fight for the right to see me. It hurts so much. Both my parents cause such toxic shame in me. I woke up crying and I go to bed crying. It is another dark holiday. Now a lull in the dark pain and dread of these holidays until Thanksgiving and Christmas come around. Then it will be even more pain. Come January no pain until my birthday when Mom won't let me cash the check my Dad mails. Then Father's Day again. Meanwhile my Dad won;t fight for the right to see me so he is equally as bad as my Mom. Such pain and such lonliness, how do I cheer up tomorrow?

I had to listen to both abuse family members this weekend with their gossip.

she has anger problem she screams, yells and argus with me for hour and when I said this is why I don't want to spend time with her she gets more mad and said that shes smoking because of me and I said you are reasponsible for your own actions she gets even more angry. what should I do?

I know it sounds rather boring, but I never had younger siblings and through my marriage I gained 5. The youngest is 3 and the three youngest are always coming to visit our house and I've become kind of like a role model to them according to the family. I noticed that every time I get them a present it's only played with for a day then it gets tossed to the side in their two large play rooms filled with toys. So I've considered starting a Roth IRA or contributing to a Savings so it would build up as they grow. Is this a bad idea?

Ok so when she was younger I suppose I did mistreat her badly. Cuz sometimes she would just disappoint me. I used to hit her and yell at her quite often, I'm not really like that anymore. Ever since, she's always preferred her dad. I thought she would grow out of that eventually but she never did. She's now 14. When she wants something she asks her dad to buy it, never asks me. He doesn't spoil her tho. When she outgrows clothes she asks him to take her shopping rather than me. I have bought her a few things, she seems happy but nothing much. When it's just me and her in the house she barely comes out of her room, only to eat and use the bathroom, barely talks with me. Her dad gets home from work and she comes out of her room and hugs him, but when I get home she just says "hi". I do admit I do get a little jealous at times cuz she always prefers him. The only thing she doesn't ask him is to buy her pads for her period, I'm assuming all she does is use toilet paper or ignore it. Cuz I've never seen any of my products 'disappear'. And I've told her she can use mine but she wont. I've asked her why she ignores me but she doesn't want to talk about it and leaves the room. My husband is a little upset with me for doing that to her before but I told him I don't do that anymore. I don't think she hates that much cuz she does smile at me, rarely tho..Why is she ignoring me so much tho? How do I get her to like me again? Thx

insist on moving to my house live alone only problem is that he was ****** Back then and still is.stole 249$$$, bullyish, argumentive,ect... Trying to avoid stuff like that. Kinda dont kno whatta think???? Help

I think it may be the only country on Earth that has no day to celebrate children, either biological or just the concept of childhood. Every single other country I have researched has one of these days, several have more two of the three. The USA has none. Just Father's and Mother's day. So American parents are cheapskates and seem really not very appreciative of their kids.

I'm 30 years old but I still live at home with my parents. I really want to move out sometime next year after I finish school. But I know my parents will have a problem with it. I've been talking to this guy since 2014 he and I live in different states. But my parents give me a hard time about traveling. So I don't get to see him as much as I want to. I always have to sneak just to go see him. I'm tired of going through this I want to move closer to him. He and I aren't in a long distance relationship but I do enjoy going to see him.

My father constantly calls to lecture me about doing nothing with my life and working a dead end job but the truth is that I have been lying to him about my life and what I do for a living. He thinks I still work selling insurance, but in fact I'm an entrepreneur in the software industry. The reason I'm keeping this a secret from him is because he has stolen $200k from his ex wife (my mother) and I don't want him to know my true wealth. I live dual lives, one life where I'm me, and one life that I portray to him that I'm living. Should I just cut him out of my life so I don't have to live with his constant lecturing and hatred towards my "life". If I tell him the truth, he will try to steal money from me in whatever ways he can. It's just frustrating because I have to put with his BS about something that isn't even true and due to the fact he believes I'm something that I'm actually not. I have built up this fake identity that I pretend to be around him and it's tiring to be beat down and verbally abused over something that is entirely fake

He is 38 I'm 22. He has 4 kids, all taken away. He's been into drugs for 20 years now. He stole from me many times, money, camcorder, and most recently my ipod speaker. He came to visit 2 summers ago and my mom was sick with cancer. He stole her pain medication to sell and the speaker and money in my wallet. She took him to eat got him sneakers and clothes since hes a bum and doesn't work. Hes had so many chances and my mom was always screaming at him but she bought him food if he needed it or let him shower since before he moved away he was living in the woods. My mom has since passed away and she had adopted his child so now he is my responsibility and I cant enjoy being young to the fullest. He stole my mom's ring that was her mother's engagement ring from her dad who died when she was very young. He has stolen birthday money from his son as well as gave him a stolen ipod and then stole it back to sell again.I found out today he's back in the state and it bothers me that no one in our family wants him around. My cousins said if he goes there they will beat him up. My dad hates him and I don't want him around, but how awful it must be to feel unwanted by everyone. But HE DID IT TO HIMSELF. He is very manipulative.....always sweet talking and saying he has my back and acts offended when I ignore his messages. His life is all his doing and he is a complete sociopath. My mother is gone and he put her through so much I shouldn't feel anything......

I have a daughter who is 14 and has recently told me that she is attracted to girls as well as boys. I'm not sure what I should do about this. Of course, I support gays lesbians and bisexual people but I don't understand why she would want to be involved in that. Why would she want to be with a girl? I just think it's weird and I felt more comfortable when she was just attracted to guys.

I have a 14 year old daughter, and she is very strange. For starters, she is obsessed with Cher and Madonna. No, not Cher lloyed, Cher and in Sonny and Cher that MY mother used to listen to, and the same Madonna that everyone used to try to dress up like when I was a teen. She has naturally brown hair, and when she was 11, I let her get beautiful blonde highlights, but last year she decided she wanted 'Cher hair' and now has long, black hair. She never does anything with her friends, but perfers to talk to a bunch of Cher fans on Twitter, and Cher tweets them all and that is literally her world. Instead of wanting to stay here, in Canada and get a normal job, like all of her friends, she studies extra hard just so she can hopefully get into a university in California so she can try to become an actress and go to Uni there to be a lawyer if that doesn't work. Instead of wearing normal things like her friends, she wears high heels, leather and jeans. She is also a vegetarian, which I hate. Why can't she just eat meat like the rest of us? Please just tell me what I can do? She won't listen to me!

I'm her older brother, and super-protective. I'm 20, she's 18, still in high school. She has had a boyfriend for a year, he's a popular, good-looking guy on the school's soccer team. Yesterday they had a fight, and it was in front of me. I was at her bf's house as he got ready for his team's final. My sister had been sulking because he'd bought her some gift she didn't like. Anyway, just as we were all getting ready to go, my sister said she would stay at home and watch TV. Her bf looked stunned and said no way. She said there was a TV program she wanted to watch, and she wouldn't go. After five minutes of her being stubborn, he slapped her across the face. It wasn't super-hard, but it was sharp and purposeful, and shut her up instantly. I tried to move in, and he said 'Unless you want one too, stay out of this." He looked angry, so I quietly sat down. My sister, clutching her face, apologised to him. And he gave her a kiss and they made up, and she agreed to go with him. I told her later she should leave him and she was angry with me, saying it was obviously her fault and the slap brought her to her senses, and she loved him 'more than before'. I would confront her boyfriend, but I'm scared he really will slap me and tell me to stay out of it. What should I do, she's an adult?

Hi guys I'm 19 years old going into college in August. I currently live in Phoenix Arizona born and raised. I'm going to major in business/ or marketing and I'm wondering what kind of jobs would you need in order to raise a family on Staten Island? And Is my dream of moving there achievable. I have family whom live on the island that I visited for the first time May of 2016 and I love it there. I met my cousin whom is the same age as me and he his friends who went to school at Port Richmond, Wagner High School, Tottenvile, etc. I love NYC in general but SI too me seems like a place I can call my future home. I'm 19 and my dream is to move to NYC and buy a home at the age of 30-35 and raise a family there. Yes I know my dreams maybe change in years to come but, what kind of job would I need in order to maintain a family there, what are the expenses of everything? I hear driving is a pain because traffick I see taxes are too. Your probably thinking I'm crazy but just give me some tips on what I should major in and what should i do in order to complete my dream haha

The other day me my mom and dad went to diary queen. We each got 99 cent ice cream cones. I paid for mine because I wanted to. Well on the way there my dad said we all will get chocolate dipped. I said I just want mine without chocolate. So he said god dammit just forget it we're going home. My mom looked at him like he was being ridiculous and said no we're going to dairy qeen. Idk why my dad hates me. 😕 Also I'm 19.

When I say something or state an opinion, he always shoves me off by saying I'm wrong or ignores me completely. It sucks!!! It makes me feel worthless

My dad's brother died today and he is crying and I don't know how to see him. I know it's going to be sad but I don't want to see him like that. At all. It's because I'm going to be very uncomfortable and I don't know how to handle situations like that. I don't know what to do

Okay so I logged into my snapchat on my mother's phone and now she's saying that I'm grounded because she can't logged back into her account should I be getting a punishment??

It seems that no matter what I do, they ALWAYS find something wrong with the way I look. My mum will nitpick at every single outfit I wear, and tells me I only look good when I'm wearing makeup. My dad is even worse: He can't seem to understand that my hair is naturally wavy, and thinks it should be supermodel-smooth at ALL TIMES!!!!!!! When I try to tell him that no matter how much I brush it, it's never going to be pin-straight, and if I were to straighten it everyday I'd be permanently damaging my hair, he yells at me and calls me a "slob," and my hair "ratty." When I got a boyfriend he told me he couldn't understand why my boyfriend was attracted to me, which really hurt. On top of that, I get compared to my cousins a lot, who my parents both think are "absolutely beautiful!" Why do they do this?!?! Do they think they're being helpful or something, because in reality they're just destroying my self-esteem.

I'm friends with this guy who is 11 years older than me. We have been friends for a year. He isnt romantically interested in me because he rejected me when I asked him what our relationship was. One of the things I've noticed is he tends to be very over-protective of me. When it starts to get a little dark outside, sometimes he will walk me home so I feel safe. At the end of the night he always walks me to my bus first before he gets on his. If I get freaked out by walking out at night " It's OK, because your with me", and he'll make it seem like when I'm with him, I wouldn't get hurt or get hit by a car because he would either push me out of the way before I get hit, or stop me from going in front of a moving car if I was out of it, or something by putting his arm out in front of me as a barrier between me and the car. Then, he'll make sure not to bring me anywhere with people he knows I would feel uncomfortable around. For instance, there was a drunk couple stood near me and he told me to stand near him. 

One time he grilled me about my abusive ex-boyfriend for two hours and kept asking intimate questions about our relationship. He kept asking me 'do you still text him?' And 'was there anybody else you've been with I was walking up a steep hill the other day with my guy friend and he told me to wait whilst he checks how steep the hill was before we both walked up then on the way down he said 'let me go first in case you fall down' Why is he very protective of me?
