I'm thinking about telling my stepdad that I'm sexually active (we're pretty close and I trust that he won't judge me). About me: • I didn't loose my virginity to someone I was dating. The people I sleep with aren't… friends, they're just people to sleep with. • My mom is religious; if she found out, she'd probably freak and call me a slur/whore (which at this point I don't care) but she'd eventually get over it. My younger sister (who acts wayy older than she should) would give me a lecture too (again, I don't care and she has no right to, but I don't want to listen to two lectures.) • my stepdad thinks you should "live and let live." It's really no one s business. But I sorta want to tell him because if my mom finds out (which I think is only a matter of time) I'll have someone to vouch for me. And I can tell him the addresses I'm going to in case anything happens. • I feel guilty for sleeping around because my mom thinks I m making new friends but really I m not lol I feel bad for making up excuses (e.g. "I m going to the movies.") because I know she d feel... betrayed that I ddin t tell her. • I m on birth control and I m using protection.

I am the only living parent of my 20 month old. I am not comfortable with the deceased parents' family...the grandparents of my child. They have always been a problem in my life and now they said they have rights to their grand child. I feel like moving out of this town because they are making life hard for me. I am wanting to move on but they won't leave me alone.

So we're moving in with my step dad and i have a brother and her. In the house there is a set of rooms with a connected bathroom and then an outlying room. The most convenient choice for literally everybody in the whole house would be for me and my stepsister to get the 2 rooms with connected bathroom but stepdad said that she could pick what room she wants and she chose the outlying one. With her being in the outlyer i will have to share a bathroom with my brother and he is kinda gross and my only request for the house was to not share a bathroom with him. He will also have full access to me to pester me. When we used to share a room he used to keep me up at night by pestering. My mom will also have tp play referee all the time. So I need her to get the room next to mine for not just my sake but everyone else in the house. and he is in the outlying room he can just chill and do pretty much whatever he wants without disturbing us. it would also be kinda fun if we were together because we're the same age and we like hanging out together and my brother will not be in the middle of everything we want to do like playing music or just chilling. Her arguement about why she wants the outlying roomm is that she wants privacy and wants to be away from my brother. And she doesn't want to be by the parents room. (Ps i will do any weird **** you can think of to convince her bc talking and bribing isn't working)

I gave my mother $1400.00 in May and she lives in a rent stabilized apartment. All she has to pay is rent, cell bill and cable, her monthly expenses are about $500.00. Her cable was recently shut off last week. I told her to let me see the bill, I notice the bill is $430, that means it s 3 bills in one. I called cable and found out she did not pay the bill for April, May and June. She made a recent payment for April s bill but they still cut it off. I was going to pay the bill for her but I felt like my mother is irresponsible and should pay it herself. I don t know what she did with the money but she has new clothes and bought my nephew a new galaxy phone. Should I pay the cable bill for Her? My mother doesn t respect money and I m tired of giving her money. What should I do? Mind you I paid the cable for her for years but I stopped.

So ive been with my boyfriend for 2 years before me he was in a relationship for 6 years the female he was with ended up having a kid saying it was his he was there the entire pregnancy till she was born even got her name tattooed well turns out the kid wasn t his they call it quits and she ends up having another kid (different guy) Fast forward 2015 she still kept coming around bringing the kid over acting like it his which I find very disrepctful because the real father is in her life my boyfriend and I tell his mom not to let her come over anymore she still kept trying to come around now (2017) because of this her baby father finds out and shot at our car which could of been fatal now I really Don t want her around because it s starting drama any ways his sister is still cool with her even though she played her brother today she brought the kid around without the baby mother and I was mad but of course not at the child but I feel like its still disrepctful I m too the point where I feel like not being with him because it bothers me but then again I do.. Am I overreacting? I tried to explain the best I can theres just alot more to it..(btw one time when we got into an argument he compared me to her....)

Don't get me wrong I love my grandma, but I want to be selfish, but I'm not allowed, and I'm being turned into the bad guy my everyone My grandma lives with us, but I want to move a few hours away. It's a cheaper area, and If moved tomorrow I pretty much would have a job. I wouldn't make much, but it be enough to pay rent, and some other bills to start with. They would be more then willing to work around my daughter's school schedule. If I need child care it would be 3$ an hour threw the school. Here I can't work because my grandma can't be left alone for long. Child care here is very expensive. The average sittle wants 10-15 an hour. Daycare is at least 280 a week here. I simply can't afford that on my own. I'm being looked down upon for wanting this, and hearing how it's b.s. I want to leave. Traffic is horrible. My car insurance would be at least $400 cheaper. Rent is at least 200$ cheaper. Taxes are cheaper too I don't have to worry about emissions test I want this, but I am being made into a horrible person.

My brother has a big house and for some reason it has gotten to become the epicenter for meetings and gathering among my family and our friends. Especially now over the summer they have had bbq:s, gatherings, parties, guys night, something almost every weekend. My parents go there often and they have their own room and they play with the kids. I just feel like I am not in that position. When my parents or my brother comes to visit me and my wife they usually stay an hour or two and then go home. I wanted to know what was going on, why I am not a part of it all like he is, why he is not inviting me to his guys nights and things like that. He said: "First off I need you to know that you are my brother and I will always be there for you when you need me. Thick or thin. But the matter at hand is why you don't have friends and why our parents don't like to hang out with you as much as me. I will be brutally honest. The fact is that you and your wife are cold, distant,uninviting and kind of boring. Whenever people go there, be it our friends or our family, they feel unwelcome. I don't invite you any longer because I get the sense you don't want to be there. Me and guys joke around, complain about our wives and you look like you can't wait to go home. There you have it". At the moment it was harsh. I know that I will never be the life off the party but my own parents dread coming to me by the looks of it. I don't know what to do?

I am 16 years old and my parents are divorced. I was recently staying at my dad's house and I brought all of my belongings because I would be staying there for awhile. I had about $500 on me that I made from working. It wasn't given to me, I earned it. Well, my mom wanted me to come back and I didn't have the chance to grab any of my stuff nut my dad said he'd return everything. He has come over twice, with all my stuff except my money, despite reminding him to grab it multiple times. He has stolen money since I was little, so it would not be surprising if he did again. last time he was over I asked him why he didn't have it he got really angry and tried to punch me a couple of times but my mom got in the way. Anyway, what can I do if he never returns it should I get the police involved? Btw when I was staying there he kept demanding that i give him money because he is broke. I brought the money to his house because i thought I would be staying there because of an unrelated issue at my mom's house.

it was a few years ago, it seemed like I completely shut it out but now that I'm sober it seems like a lot of negative emotions are coming back to me. A few years ago I was going through my parents room and my parents have 2 separate closets next to eachother. I went in my dads closet and theres this opening under the floor that's covered that u can stash stuff in, well one day I came across a black bag with a huge dildo and lots of small ones. This made me really weired out and confused. My conclution was that they were from my sisters bacholette party that was at our house previouslty, because that's most likely the case, and my mom was there at her party. but this is just the last thing you want to find in your dads closet? how should I react to this situation it just been bothering me a lot.

My parents divorced over a year ago and it has been a pretty dark period since then, it comes so much negativity sometimes in my life that I get so overwhelmed. I feel left out because my friends constantly hang out and doesn't invite me, I have dealt alot with anxiety and a mild'ish depression for some time now. So many things are changing and I feel overwhelmed, I just can't take anything anymore and feel like a sponge sucking in everyone's energy. How can I deal with this, I was told that everything would get better after the divorce but it actually feels worse. I have lost everything

So I've got anxiety and get extremely nervous when hanging out with my friends and making plans- which I'm doing often enough. When we're making plans I tend to send lots of messages. I've got to ask questions on everything otherwise it's all I can think about. Do people find it irritating when people ask questions and want everything to be planed out (or at least meeting time/place and what's happening after) I'm probably going to continue asking questions and being a worried little turd but I was just wondering.

My sister has been in an abusive relationship for about 7 years). They have a boy (2y/o) and a girl (5y/o). They used to live up on this mountain with the guys family, but they got caught by the police with drugs (including his parents who are pill heads and meth dealers) and custody was taken from them for about a year, during which my grandparents took care of their kids. But once they got custody back the husband basically cut my sister off from her side of the family. He is monitoring all her calls and messages, especially from my grandparents (who raised her). My sister refuses to leave this guy because of the children, but I worry that he might kill her and/or try to take the little girl. He has an unhealthy obsession with her but he doesn't seem to give a damn about his son. For example the other day they got into a fight and he threw my sister and the baby out (but not the older girl). I've thought about trying to adopt them if they ever lose custody again. Even though I was born and raised in TN, just this past year I moved down to FL to get my PhD and part of the stipulation for my assistantship is that I become a FL citizen (or pay a ton more in tuition). TN adoption requires residency at the time of petition, so I don't know how I'd get around that. Plus, I'm sure the husband's family would try to keep the little girl (like him, they don't seem to want anything to do with the little boy, for some reason). Most of them have a criminal background so I'm hoping that will help my case. Regardless, there is no guarantee that will ever happen anyways. I know I can't force my sister to get out of the relationship, but is there anything else I can do? Could I somehow turn the authorities' attention to them and get the children out at least? I'm just really worried it will be too late if they don't get out soon.

Is it second cousin?

I just found out that his girlfriend was an escort. She is working at an advertising agency now. The thing is she once said that she only slept with 5 guys. She never seemed strange and she acts nice, but the thing is that friends found old pictures of her on an escort website. Those who I talked to either say tell him either say it's not worth breaking it up. However, I know that if he found that out, he would break it off. Wouldn't it be the right thing? I thought of talking to her but I think it would be wrong. If he knew he wouldn't be with her. I know him far too well. They're old pictures 100% but they are legit. I really don't think she is doing it now, because she has a good job, but I do know once thing for sure. He wouldn't marry an escort. He is far too traditional for that.

I tried to talk to them today but they got physical

I m 17, turning 18 in December. I ve told my mother if I turn 18 and he still isn t working then I will kick him out. Mum doesn t want to force him to leave but he isn t contributing to the household. Because of him I had to start working at 16 and dropped out of school and received my GED to support my family. My lil bro turned 16 recently and we are urging him to get a weekend job and continue school. It isn t fair that the family is working hard while my older bro sits on his butt all day. Any advice on how to go about giving him the boot? Also, if he refuses to leave can I legally call the cops on him? Do you think after 18 parents are still responsible for their adult children s actions?

I know it s kind of weird, usually it s the other way around (teens wanting their parents to not set any rules). But my parents don t really set any rules for me. They used to when I was younger, but now that I have gotten older, there so busy with their own things, that they basically let me do anything. But the thing is I kinda wish my parents set rules for me, like be in bed at a certain time, do chores, etc. I mean I m a good kid, I ve never skipped school, or done anything crazy. But I ve kind of had to set rules for myself, and it s weird. While all my friends parents are super overprotective mine don t really care. I mean I love my parents and they have some rules and they are always there to talk, but they don t really care what I do. The problem is, I have no idea how to get them to set rules for me, or if I should just try to parents myself. I don t know...

She always has to be right and if you assume shes wrong, she doesn't see it, and will lash out at you. One moment she's happy go lucky and the next she's throwing temper tantrums if she doesn't get her way. When her husband gives in, she's happy again. She cusses her husband out, calls him names, and only likes to talk about things she likes to talk about. If you talk about something she didnt bring up she'll usually say something like "shut up. No one cares about that stupid ******* ****!" she even uses her kid and parents to make other people feel sorry for her. Its crazy. These seem like pretty good signs to me. How about you?

I m 15 and my stepdad uses his phone sooo much, which makes me wonder what he looks at. One day while he was in the shower his phone was on the table and out of curiosity I unlocked it to see what was on it (he doesn t have a passcode). For some reason he s obsessed with the Kardashians. His lock screen and home screen is a pic of Kendall Jenner, which I thought was weird bc she s 21 and my stepdad is 43 and married. I didn t like this bc my mom s lock screen is a pic of both of them on their wedding day, and his is another girl. I opened his photos and there were albums in his camera roll titled "sexy nude Kim K pics" stuff like that. I also saw nude pics of him jacking off. Next thing I checked was his internet, and there were tons of naked girls that he searched up on Google. After that checked Kik, which is an app where you can connect with new people/friends. In his Kik account there were a lot of fake Kardashian accounts and a couple of girls texting him. I told my mom and she wasn t upset at me bc she knows I was just looking out for her. I know it was wrong for me to look in his phone but I did it bc he seemed suspicious. He doesn t know that I saw things in his phone, btw. Now I m disgusted and mad @ him bc my mom is always so kind and does her best to please us when in return he s just an irritable horny piece of trash. I think my mom deserves a better husband. What should I do now? Thank you for reading, sorry if it was lengthy

I feel like I haven't been allowed to grow up beyond middle school/high school. I have a full time job, but I have never handled my own finances and would have to learn how; my mother handles them for me by doing my taxes and giving me an allowance from my own paycheck. I live with my parents and siblings and pay my parents rent to live in a room in their house. I have no life apart from them as we do everything together, from shopping to visiting relatives. I've graduated from college but my mother almost holds me hostage by not allowing me to make any decisions for myself, even those as simple as what I'm going to eat for dinner or where I go. My older sibling lives in a similar fashion, but he needs the extra help due to developmental delays which don't allow him to function normally. Worst part is the I am a professional counselor, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) I know what I would say to advise a patient, but the situation gets complicated when it's your own family. Also as it was stated, I have become accustomed to living in an unhealthy routine. I'm just wondering what other's advice would include.

My mom has always been negative & controlling. She has lived with my grandma my entire life, while my grandma paid the bill for EVERYTHING.my mom has never paid anything. The last year of our lives have been hell. mom actually had to step up and care for my demented gma who was dying because i no longer could do it. My 14 yr old moved in with her to help. When gma passed in feb. My aunt offered to buy US a house (guilt for not helping with her mom). My mom has had a very difficult time adjusting. Of course all of us living together is an adjustment but luckily we have always been very close anyways. When we moved in, hubby and I cover all the bills here, plus i have continued to cover her part of the cell phone and car insurance. She is to pay my aunt every month to cover the ins, and taxes. We are paid up until 2019. So mom isnt paying anything right now. I cover EVERYTHING. From soap to dog food ( she had 3 dogs I have 1) never asking for anything in return. Unfortunately since June I have been incredibly sick. 5 major surgeries and almost dying twice. Mom has had to step up and pay the cell phone bill and buy a bag of dog food.I have not stopped hearing about it. I needed her help paying the electric this month. Hubby has been with me. My mother has made the biggest deal about the fact she had to pay the bill. How do i nicely say that she needs to help out sometimes, w/o being rude.it will set another roller coaster off with her and it will cause lots of stress!

So my brother has a friend who is also our nieghbor. He brings G over everyday. Well when he comes over I have to stop what I'm doing and let them play minecraft! Well G is also really mean to me! He makes this high pitched voice and starts talking trash about me when I'm around and I'm not even bothering them! He always destroys stuff that I build on Minecraft and says it's terrible and I shouldn't even play minecraft! One time I was going through the attic when G came over and I found 2 giant trash bags full of stuffed animals, so I brought them out and was looking through the bags and G started doing is high pitched voice again saying, I'm ****** and I'm a baby cause I like stuffed animals Goo Goo ga ga!! He is also using my brother for his video games. I noticed that when my dad tells them to play outside after they had been playing video games G just goes home! I tryed to tell my parents but they just say " oh he's a boy he does that stuff" Am I over reacting?

I'm 30 years old and I still live at home with my parents. Yes I know I should have moved out by now so you don't have to tell me that. I do work and go to school and I like to travel. But my parents don't like me traveling alone and they always have to know where I am going and who I am going to be with. I've been hooking up with this 43 year old man since 2015 (WE ARE NOT IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP). He lives in another state my parents don't know about him. I always have to sneak off just to see him. Usually I only get to see him once a year but I'm tired of that now. I want to see him more often and it seems like the only way I can is if I move closer to him.

Certain family members didn't come to my and my husband's wedding, nor even acknowledge that it happened by saying congrats or anything. This has happened with my husbands family and my own. My family member EXPECTED me to be at her wedding, after not coming. Then my husbands cousin is getting married this year and was hounding him to do so many things to help him with his wedding but he never acknowledged ours or came either. Similar situation, other family members didn't go, didn't acknowledge us or congratulate us - didn't even send back an RSVP card, but now that they're having a child EXPECT us to come to their baby shower and RSVP through Facebook. They keep writing messages to the invited group urging everyone to say if they're coming or not - the irony.. When my brother and I graduated, we had 6 people in our close family say - oh I never got an invitation. Or even the most manipulating ones asking why I didn't send them one to further the aggravation - gaslighting me. These same ones never came to anything with the same excuse of ME not sending an invite, so I know that's not the case. I made points to tell them in emails and texts, etc in addition to the invite as well. My family and my husbands family are highly dysfunctional with lots of favoritism, blaming, shaming etc. My husband and I are normal people. We go to work, come home, do what we need to do and do it over again. We don't cause trouble or anything. I don't get it... Why are people like this?

Every year since I've know my husband they have always gone away for Labor Day weekend to just relax. His sister will find a large rental house and rent a van and divide the cost up between the adults and they go away just to relax. This year is no different. Several months ago we received our letter saying that each adult was to pay $250 for the house and van for 3 nights / 4 days of fun. I told my husband that I couldn't afford to go and he's upset with me. I told him I just don't have the money to pay $250 and his comment to me was, "since I can't afford to pay $250 then why are we planning to spend over $2000 for a cruise next year?" He threw up in my face that last year my parents have a timeshare and last year for Thanksgiving we traveled several hours away for the weekend. We spent several hundred on food and things plus we had to drive ourselves. He feels that I just don't want to go hang with his family like he did with mine last year. He's upset that I don't want to go. He said that if my mom said they got the timeshare at the beach for the weekend that I'd already have my bag packed. His family does a lot of things during this weekend. They don't cook anything at the house but go out for every meal. He said that since we both work we can afford it. I'm worried about household bills but he said that sometimes to keep your sanity you gotta do something to just relax and have some fun. Bills will be there when we get back. Am I wrong for not going? I have a cousin who is getting married in a few months who lives like 6 states away and my husband doesn't want to go but he expects me to go on this trip with his family. He said that if I haven't seen this cousin in years (which I haven't) then it was a little presumptions of them to send an invitation expecting someone to take a few days off work, drive several states away for a wedding that was not even on a Saturday. I think they're getting married on a Fri. He doesn't want to go with me to that but expects me to go on his family's trip. On the flip side, he has a cousin who is getting married this Thursday and we got an invitation to go and he doesn't even want to go to that. He said if you are getting married on a Thursday then don't expect people to take off work. Do the justice of the peace and have a little party on Sat. No, he's not even going to his cousin's wedding.

Parents divorced. Both remarried. Mom is still bitter & it's been 20yrs. Neither talk or sit in same room w/ each other. Mom visiting from out of state during grandsons bday. Inviting grandparents over for bday supper. Mom came w/o husband so said could bring friend. Stepmom not reliable w/ going to anything pertaining to grandkids but usually doesn't pass up a free meal. Stepmom may not come, but will for sure come if knows Mom is (insecure).

So yesterday someone left the freezer door open and it started making a loud buzzing sound. So I shut it and locked it and went and told my mom..my dad was sitting there too so he heard. She heard it and went running to the backdoor to go mess with the freezer and threw her drink on the counter but it spilled. She told me to go see if it spilled and as I was going to do that my dad got all up in my face looking like he was a cherry bomb about to explode. He gets in my face asking what happened. And I just said someone left it open so it started making loud buzzing sounds then I proceeded to ask why he looked so angry with an attitude because it was confusing. He then flipped out and told me to not back talk him even though I obviously wasn't. I was just asking why he came up to me with an attitude. Then he got even more hostile screaming saying "catch an attitude with me one time" and I didnt know what the hell he was talking about. I then proceeded to ask why he was angry because I didnt do anything. And apparently me saying that was back talking even more because he took like a hard plate thing that you set things on and he threw it at Me and it fell on the floor and broke. Then he threatened me with my grandmas cane. Then called me a *****. Me, my mom, and brother dont know why he went psycho like that. According to MW brother it wasn't really because of me and my mom said he thinks I hate him anyway. I just dont know why he would flip out like that.

So my fiance and I have been together for 4 years. Just got engaged on Mother's Day of this year. I love him and his family oh zo much and they're great people. Now I have an issue when I go over there a lot and it's his step-sister. She's 18 and her body is like a video vixen. She has really big hips, huge ***, and big ****. Not a problem at all. But when it comes to family events, she literally will go in her room and change into a belly top showing her cleavage, skin tight spandex pants that you can see through and she flaunts it like it's nothing. My fiance stays away from her because his dad, which is her step-dad has mentioned that she has made him uncomfortable on many of occasions. He's tried to talk to her mother about it amd she seems like she doesn't care. My fiance even feels uncomfortable and his brother feels the same way. She's very flirtatious and my soon to be father in law told my fiance that she's very hot in the pants and never be by yourself with her. She's having sex with multiple guys, she asks men for their number, and she's already caught an std. Her friend even told her to change before and she got mad. Her mom even laughs at 40 year old men sexualixing her daughter and then gets mad when they approach her rudely. No one is saying anything but I want to but I'm scared she and her mom will get offended. My fiance said he will talk to her because it makes him uncomfortable too. Should I just let him handle it or should I speak up too?

I came back to my parents house because of the end of university. Lately my family is crashing. it's never been like this before. dad lost his job, mother is working very hard at a high income job but dad doesn't make any money and mother is worried because of that, since she wants to leave her job and open her own business. i'm so worried lately because of my family. mother takes relaxing drugs and that makes her a zombie, she is so quiet since she started taking this horrible pills. she never talks and she is very important to me. but i barley can speak to her anymore. she always needs to work and never talks when she doesn't pills turns her into a robot. i hate that. dad doesn't get any interviews and we are all worried that he wont be able to work again. my older sister has mental problems and takes very powerful drugs. she is very sad always and depressed, i'm afraid she will one day commit suicide, but we are not talking for years. I always had my grandmother to help me but now she is taking care of my autistic cousin and never has time anymore, since he is quite a severe autistic. my family is breaking apart.

I would lie a lot as a teenager. Now I am 25 and everything I say and do my mother labels me a "liar". For example, she doesn't believe me that I went on a trip with my grandparents on my Dad's side of the family and thinks I staged old photos on Instagram to make it look as though I went. My Mom hates me and it is because I don't meet her demands for a relationship. For example on holidays I spend Christmas with my grandparents and my Dad instead of her (I offer to see her for Thanksgiving). My two sisters are with my Mom all the time so she is not alone (I am the only son). Since I have severe anxiety I had to quit a job and my mother thought I was fired and lied about it (later I was able to prove I had quit). So what do I do?

I want to abide by my aunt's wishes.

I am friends with her friend's son so I am going to the funeral for the son, not for my Mom or her deceased friend who was kind of a big mouth. My Mom is mad because she feels I go to funerals too frequently. This is the first one in two years that is not family. As a teen I did talk about death too much and went to funerals too freely because of a morbid sense of loyalty. That is 10 to 15 years ago though.

Okay I literally can t handle my mom anymore, I m a sixteen year old girl and my mom takes out everything on me, she screams at me , she gets mad at me for no reason, she interrupts me, she spreads all my health issues to every family member and it s embarrassing! I told her not to tell my personal business to people and she says she won t but she still does!! She gives me no privacy ever.. My older sister has a 3 year old baby , and she s always working so my mom has to watch him and she makes me watch him all the time like its my responsibility! I m way behind in school because I m homeschooled, nobody helps me,I m dumb, and I lack motivation! She expects me to do my ged(highschool diploma) in a few months but I m not ready at all! She treats my siblings better than she treats me! And after we argue she comes in my room and apologizes and everything , and even tho I m still pissed at her , I have to fake I m not so she doesn t start screaming again. And whenever I m in my room and she hollers, if I don t come right away she get vey angry!! She sometimes throws stuff at me as well! Everyone in my family doesnt realize how mean she is , she only gets really mad when we are alone.. She takes out all her anger out on me!! She interrupts me all the time and makes me feel unimportant and useless and belittled!! I have no friends at all and I m so lonely!! I need your help!!

I love my mother dearly, but boundaries need established and I don t if they will be. My mother has always been negative nancy, she has always been catered to. She has lived with my grandma my entire life, while my grandma fronted the bill for EVERYTHING. The last year of our lives have been hell. My mom actually had to step up and care for my demented gma who was dying because i no longer could do it. My 14 yr old moved in with her to help. When gma passsed in feb. My aunt offered to buy US a house. because we could not keep gma. My mom has had a very difficult time adjusting. Of course all of us living together is an adjustment but luckly we have all been very close anyways. When we moved in, hubby and I cover all the bills here, plus i have continued to cover her cell phone and car insurance. She is to pay my aunt every month to cover the ins, and taxes. Well we are paid up until 2019. So mom isnt paying anything right now. I cover EVERYTHING. From toliet paper to dog food ( she had 3 dogs) never asking for anything in return. Unfortunatly the last few months i have been incrediably sick. 5 major surgeries and almost dying twice. Mom has had to step up and pay the cell phone bill twice and buy a bag of dog food I have not stopped hearing about it. Well I needed her help paying the electric this month. Hubby has been with me. My mother has made the biggest stink about the fact she had to pay the bill. How do i nicely say that she needs to help out sometimes, w/o being rude

I have a fear or nightmare I moved back in and they went right back to being abusive and making my life hell. Everytime I try to say hi or vice versa I get upset. Ibeven cussed them out and vented years of abuse. It was like talking to a wall. Ibwas not respected. So is this how it is and hotta just cut off ties? I still love my parent but for my own well being have no intention of even visiting. Im always treated like ****.

My nephew is 10 years old. He has always liked to be pretend to be a girl on video games. He is in love with princess peach. He knows it is wrong and we make him change it when we catch him pretending to be a girl. He changes it but I've been catching him here lately. He has always done things since he was little that were feminine. He used to like wearing a rag on his head when he was a toddler and pretended it was his hair. It took us a while to get him out of that. He likes the powder puff girls but isn't into spider man, bat man, or other male super heroes. He says he likes the powder puff girls because they make him happy from their colors. I'm just tired of having to watch him and make sure he isn't trying to be a girl on his video games. As soon as I think the phase is over, it comes right back. He knows he is a boy and says he feels like a boy inside. So why do I keep catching pretending to be a girl? I just want some answers from anyone who has experienced this before?

Hi there! Little back story, they both kinda raised me so they both are like mother figures to me. I m 20 years old. I do live at home but I pay my share of rent and bills, so it s not like I m mooching. They won t let me stay the night at my boyfriend s house and my curfew is 11pm. We actually just recently had a conversation about extending it to 11. Up until about a week ago it was 10. I always have to tell them where I m going and text her occasional updates. They are VERY emotional and every time I stand up to them they makes it seem like it s what s best for me and like I have no reason to feel the way I do. My mom and I have discussed her being overbearing before, and she always blames it on my grandma. My grandma is very... I guess protective? She is very strict for sure. Most of this behavior comes from my grandma. My mom doesn t want constant updates like my grandma does, so that s cool. But still I m 20. This is impacting my friendships and romantic relationships. I feel like they don t want me to have a life. I m so scared to stand up to them, because they ve both made comments about our relationship being ruined and I don t want that. I just want to be treated like an actual human. I feel very immature complaining about this because I am so thankful to have people that care about me, but it s just driving me crazy. I feel like I can t breathe.

So I m on this 2 week vacation with only my mom and my triplet sisters (they re 5 years old) No, this is not a troll. I legit have triplet sisters. Every night my mom gets drunk with her family members and I m starting to get insane stress . Watching them is really hard and i have no cousins around to help me watch them. I m currently typing this while 2 of them are crying and one is asleep. My mom and her family are outside drunk. It s 2 am. Should I call the child thingy hotline? Please answer asap

I'm worried she's going to disapprove anyone for the wrong reason

I've been wrestling for as long as I can remember. My dad let me try many sports as a child and somehow wrestling was the one we stuck with. I never really enjoyed it except my 8th grade and freshman year. I don't enjoy it as much now and don't have the competitive drive I used to. I want to quit but I know my dad will be very angry towards me as it's now something in our family since both my younger brothers do it. If I brought up quitting I don't know what my dad would do but I can tell you it wouldn't be a safe place to stay. Any suggestions or advice would help me because I don't know if I should quit for ME or stay in it half heartedly for my DAD.

About 7-8 months ago my 30 year old step brother moved back into my house with his new wife (23) and their dog. I've expressed how much I hate them living here as much as I can but she(my step mom) seems irritated every time I bring it up. My dad and brother don't like them living here either, but its my step mom's kid so she has to be the one to throw them out. With three dogs and 6 people our town house is cramped. My parents cook and clean for them. I've even seen their laundry being folded for them. They do not pay rent and show little to no gratitude. The two have completely trashed their room and the wife does not work or even attempt to help around the house. My half brother has a job that pays a bit better than minimum wage. Every time I bring up my concerns my step mom gets hyper sensitive and says things like "Its none of your business when they're moving out." However having to share a bathroom with two adults and a teenage boy is killing me. I can hear them having sex. Before living with us they lived his the wife's parents.Please help, I hate every second of their existence and I need their trailer park trash FAR away from me.

Recently her boyfriend died and we were arguing about her alcoholism and smoking (mind you, I'm 13.) And I brought up his death because he died of excessive drinking and I didn't want to see her go the same way. So what I said was, "I can't believe that your own boyfriend died because of the same thing that you're going through and that it's so painful for you, but you don't give a **** about how he died. If you did you'd know that it'd be painful for us to go through the EXACT SAME THING you are and-" she cut me off to speak. "Listen YOU LITTLE ***** I DO CARE HOW HE DIED DON'T EVER SAYS **** LIKE THAT" totally not understanding my point because SHE DIDN'T LET ME FINISH. Then she still didn't and said "I'm going to ****** bed and I ain't never gonna wake up" while crying My mom wants to die because of me

I have a really good man in my life. We are engaged. But his 40 year old daughter and a 27 year old son constantly sticking their nose in our business. I have adult sons who respect how I live my life. I'm thinking about not marrying him for this reason. Any views on this?

okay so i just turned 15 and my brother is deathly sick. 104 fever. my mom LEFT for wisonsin today WHILE SHE KNEW MY BROTHER WAS IN THIS COndiitION. when she came home (after i took care of him all day. hes 17 btw) i asked her to take him to the hospital. she then replied "how about u shut the **** up i know what im doing" i was on the phone with a friend at this time. so i asked her " okay what are u gonna do" she than flicks me off and tells me to go **** myself. while on the phone the person asked "what happened" i replied " i dont know you would think a mom who had fun all day could atleast take care of her kids" she than runs up to me. throws my phone against the wall and rips my hair out of my head. i than tell her i hate her and im gonna killmyself and she just keeps saying "your gonna regret being a horrible daughter." I havent aten in days due to the fact i want my brother healthy. she finnally took him to the hospital, therfore proving me right, im now sleeping outside. starving, tyoing this on a broken computer. i want my phone back and i want her to apologize bc i have nothing to apologize for. youd think a 35 year old woman can be mature. anyway i might runaway tonight. unless someone could possibly help? im pretty chill rn im just enjoying nature but im just a little down.

Ok so I live with my stepdad, grandma and mom and brother. I feel like nobody's happy. I'm young and all and I'm supposed to be happy. My household makes me depressed. All I want to do is cry. Let's start with my mom. She hurt her knee. And the doctor won't fix it unless she loses weight and that's hard for her. She can't really walk. I'm so jealous of my friends with fit and healthy moms who actually do things! Next is my brother. He's 5 and gets more attention. I know what your gonna say "he's young and needs care." I know but I need attention too! Whenever we fight it's him who starts it and I try to walk away but stuff happens and i get blamed on! Then there's my stepdad who's a geek lol..... All he does is play on his phone and yell at people. I have no idea what my mom sees in him? Then there's my grandma. She's so selfish and only cares about her cats. I really want her to move out but if she does we will move and I will have to switch schools. I like my school. But really. We're not your average happy family. We never go on vacation. If we do it's the next state over. We live in the Midwest which can be boring. Nobody is happy including me! Help.

It's literally so ******* unbearable. Whatever I find funny HE finds funny ?! How is this possible. Whenever I like something, he likes the same thing ?? Even though I never interact with him and ignore him ALL the time how does this happen? Everytime when he comes in the kitchen he's always talking sh*t or trying to make me angry. This happens constantly. It almost seems the more I ignore him, the more he becomes me (?) I don't know if that makes sense to you or not.

So I am the youngest of three siblings. The other 2 moved out at 20 and 19. My father is divorced and I havent seen him since I was young. When I graduated high school I went to college for 2 years but quit because it felt like a job. My grandma moved in with my mom in a small house. I was too attached and scared to live alone so I moved in with them and I dont know if its healthy. I dont have any friends or a girlfriend, I dont leave the house much either. I do have a job but my mom pays most of the bills. I dont have a car either. I am happy enough, but my siblings and others keep nagging me to get a "real life". Is this weird?

Im going to be a freshman in college about 4 hours from home next month. My parents are very protective and strict (especially when it comes to driving). I have always been respectful of their rules and choices. I have a job, money saved, a career plan, and an associates degree. They refused to let me drive until I months after my 17th birthday and refused to let me buy my own car since I've been saving money and it wasn't "safe" to have a "cheap" car. They gave me their old car which I appreciate so much and of course I would pay for the insurance but they're not having it, at all. I just really don't know what to do its frustrating to be stuck on campus or begging for rides all the time. please help!!! I should also add I'm a very safe driver, no ticket, goes the speed limit etc. even now I'm 18 and they try to talk me out of driving to work or friends houses.

My parents will be fine with each other one day and the next day their arguing and yelling and door slamming and it gives me anxiety and its making my life miserable, because I just want the fighting to stop my mom always talks about a divorce and at this point I would prefer that then them fighting almost everyday.

Ok so I'm just a nervous person and I worry too much. But here's my story I live in Scott county (ky) with my mom and brother but recently we just lost our house so me and my brother had to stay with our granny and aunt for a month in laurel county (ky) and I'm currently with them right now. My mom stayed at a friends house in gtown so she can work it out...but today I found out they kicked her out and now she has nowhere to go and I feel sooo bad I love her so much and all I want to do right now is see her. And school starts in like a week and I don't even know exactly what school I'm going to anymore since we lost our house.my family doesn't even really have that much money to go school shopping and this has been like the worse summer ever and I'm just so nervous and depressed right now before all of this I was already depressed but It just made it a lot worse.

At 10 pm I was on my laptop until the battery power went low I was looking high and low for the charger and remembered that in it was in my dad's friend's room I silently tip toed my way to her door so I could knock and ask for the charger ALL OF A SUDDEN I heard moaning I had this weird feeling where I was turning pale but pink at the same time so I went to lay back down i heard loud moaning and slapping and panting and it got louder till the friend started moaning louder Hearing it all made me so furious and entertained cause I heart my beating really hard so I just sat there on the couch with my eyes wide and just sat there and swore and snickered (BONUS my younger brother and little sister were awake!!) As I type right now they're doing it Any advice?? Overall hearing it all made me really immature so I snickered like Scooby Doo

I am currently in college out of my home state. I just found out that my stepmom and dad are going to have another baby. I already have a little sister there who means the world to me. I had a little beother as well but at 1 and a half he died of SIDS and I broke in every way possibly. My family has struggled and after two years of grieving we are all super worried about losing the new baby. So do I stay out of state and finish out college or do I move home to help my family and do college online? Also I have boyfriend/bestfriend of 5 years at college which I miss terribly when I visit family.
