I am a good student, and a great athlete. I do struggle with organization and hygiene sometimes, and when I do, they burst out at me, and it makes me hate myself, because I'm not good enough for them.

I am a 16 year old boy, i noticed that many adults go on about how ******* great it is to be a kid or teenager. But i'm nothing but miserable, what is so great about being a teen? I have no power over my own life and have to everybody's ***** all the time, if i try to speak my mind i get threatened with punishments and i have stupid curfews. I have a shitty minimum wage job yet adults get to make more money and can have a car and go anywhere they want, whenever they want. Adults have more freedom while teenagers are basically slaves. I have to wait 2 painful ******* years before i get complete freedom, but i'll probably just kill myself before then.

My aunt is one to get very angry and very easily. We fear her. The aunt adopted her 3 kids. She adopted one as an infant and the other two are sisters adopted ages 4 and 7. The seven year old has Autism and is convinced by my aunt that her birthmother was evil and my aunt saved her. The other, age 4 at time of adoption, is normal functioning but more rebellious when a kid (fine now). She and my aunt (her mother) are distant now and only see each other at the holidays or funerals. So I showed my cousin and in the 4 weeks since they have become Facebook friends and are meeting today. I am worried my aunt will go into a blind rage at me for letting her daughter find the birthmother. Yet her daughter is an adult and I checked with my Mom (aunt's sister) who said I am best not bringing it up to the aunt. So how do I handle the aunt's rage when she finds out? It might be in a month or it might be at Christmas this year when I see her next or it could be as long as several years from now. Aunt is scary when she is mad and it is why her daughter is largely estranged from her.

I have no family, I want one. Only family I know is one cousin friended me on Facebook and said his mother wondered what came of me. When I offered to visit he said his mother said it would be "uncomfortable" so I didn't. That was 4 years ago and he hasn't replied to any messages since though kept me on Facebook. So I have no family. I never had a Dad in my life and his family is from some African country and I don't even have names to search for. When my Mom died her family wanted to more contact with me. I live alone and have no friends. I want to see what it is like to have a family. I have no relationships with anyone. I don't work (I live off my mother's estate) so I should consider myself lucky but holidays are the worse knowing I am only 24 and alone forever. I only leave my house a few times a year and because I am different (I have learning disabilities and ADHD) no one wants to be my friend. Also friendships always end so I don't want any. Family seems to last sometimes though. So can I come to your family reunion and pretend I am Uncle Bill's great-grandson Adam?

My parents have been married for 23 years and I've wanted them to divorce for awhile now. My mother talks about divorce but never dares go through with it because she's afraid she'll be lonely. My father has made us suffer for the last 23 years. He forces my mom to pay all the utility bills with her income, whole he enjoys life. He makes sure she doesn't have any friends and makes well known they aren't welcome. He's selfish, poor, uneducated and basically all of the bad things rolled into one. The only good trait is that he makes dinner. This makes me seriously evaluate the type of men I never want to be married to. I refuse to suffer like my mother. Marrying a bad men can truly make a woman suffer. My mother is beautiful, business-minded, generous I feel so depressed that she's married to such a loser.

my bestfriend invited me to camel beach and we were leaving early in the morning and i have to watch my brother until the babysitter gets here because my mom goes to work. i always do it and i don't really like my brother because he's very rude and disrespectful. He's diganosed with ADHD and he can be difficult at times. so i said i wasn't watching him and i'm sleeping over at my friends house so i can go the next early morning. my mom is upset because i said he isn't my responsibility to watch over it's hers i'm not a parent you are the parent. and now she holds that against me saying oh it's not my responsibility to do anything for you now

My parents divorced when I was 12 and my mom remarried. My step dad never really liked me because I'm a reminder my mom had children someone else before him. He only dislikes me, I don't know why. Anyway, my step sister is 13, I am 16 and she is a total brat but her dad lets her get away with everything. Today she got angry that I wouldn't be her servant and get her a lemonade so she hit my guitar with a hammer. I called her a brat and told her I will never forgive her, her dad steps in and starts calling me an asshole, I told him what happened and he said "This is why your dad didn't want you, you're a ******* waste of space and a ******* moron", I stormed off but he started yelling "Don't walk away from me!" And I did, he and my mom got into an argument and he said "I want that punk shipped off and to NEVER return. He's useless Miranda, No wonder his dad didn't want him", I am so fricking pissed, but he's saying I have no right to be pissed.

I just need to rant about this and need a bit of advice.. My grandma is in her late 70s and recently has been losing her memory. For a while it was just short term but now she s just completely confused all the time and it s more long term memory. She still remembers who we all are, but yesterday we were with her for the whole day with the rest of my family and she kept asking where her mother was. Her mother died over 30 years ago. We tried over and over to gently tell her that her mother isn t with us anymore and she did not believe us. She would get angry and tell us not to say something like that because it s not funny. It gets so frustrating because lately she ll talk about things and no one will know what she s talking about, she gets so confused and it s hard to make her understand certain things such as the fact that her mom is gone. And while driving (she s not allowed to drive anymore for obvious reasons) she kept telling my father who was driving to pull over because she thought he was too tired (he was not tired at all) and she just doesn t understand that she can t drive anymore. Are there certain ways to say things to someone like her to help her understand better?? I hate seeing her get stressed about things like this so I try to tell her in a nice way, but it s as if she has no idea what year it is or who she is and I don t know what to do anymore to make her understand. I know her conditions won t get much better, but just need advice.

So my parents they like to have a couple drinks I wouldn t say a lot but often maybe 1 or twice a week and almost every day they will have a glass or two and it bothers me I m not comfortable hanging around people who are drinking bc it s obvious they are a little different when they do how can I get them maybe to not drink as much?

Whenever I tell my mom something really minor she always jumps at me and we get into a huge argument about the most ridiculous things. Like just today I was walking behind her and a woman in front of my mom held the door open for her. My mom ran to get herself through it and let the door drop on my shoulder, which is injured pretty badly (we were at the physical therapist to check on my shoulder). So I told her that she dropped the door on my shoulder, which hurt a lot, and she suddenly started screaming at me about how bad my attitude is and how I'm so ungrateful towards her and how she's never going to do anything for me again. And my dad always backs her up too. He was yelling at me about how my mom sacrificed so much for me, how I never appreciate her. I told him I just wanted her to be more aware and he told me that I was wrong to say anything because if it weren't for her I wouldn't be able to go to the therapist. And the whole time my mom was screaming about my attitude, how she doesn't like talking to me and how she isn't going to do anything for the family ever again. I appreciate them so much--I constantly tell them that I am really grateful for everything. I also do a lot of things around the house, like clean the mirrors, tables, and I always offer to help them whenever I can, but they never notice it and then tell me I don't do anything and that I never appreciate everything and that I'm a spoiled brat. I just don't know what else to do

I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years now, he is 35 and I am 25, we have a wonderful relationship, own a house together and enjoy being together. I have a major problem though, he isn't interested in having kids with me, mainly because he is too financially obsessed with himself (we have a heavy duty prenup) He says he doesn't want kids because of the financial and time burden and that I would gain weight (wtf) which saddens me. So I'm slowly willing to accept this.. but now, his sister (33) whom I am not a fan of, just had a total perfect pregnancy.. doesn't help that she's is very attractive and I'm always compared to her.. but now there is this new baby that is now the centre of his family's world right now. He loves his new niece, he is taking money we need and spending it on her, he's over all the time holding the baby etc.. it really pisses me off. It seems every time I try to hold the baby, she screams and screams until the mom (his sister) his mom or my boyfriend is holding her again, so it doesn't help that the baby does not like me. His sister said she only wants my boyfriend involved with the baby, not me. We fought how it upsets me he wants to spend all this time and money on his niece yet says he wouldn't ever consider having a baby with me, so it's making me absolutely hate and resent this f ing baby and I don't ever want to see it or his sister.. don't even get me started the MIL. I only get along with his dad! How would you deal with this situation?

This morning I got up sat down ate some breakfast. My Dad can out and said you have two D's. I said what!! He said your final grade Fuc*ked you up. He was really disappointed in me.... so I got in my car and started driving to Wisconsin. We live in Oregon I'm in Idaho right now. I miss them but I don't want them to send me to military school, that is a very real option for them. Please help.... I know it sounds stupid but I don't know what to do. (By the way) they won't call the police.

She's 17 and she and her mom live in my building. My son is 5. When I go out( single dad), I put her in charge. He has a crush on her, blushes when I bring her up, she jokingly calls him her boyfriend. Anyway, her babysitting method is to let him be in charge. Cookies for dinner, no bedtime, soda, etc. I've asked her to be more firm, when she was, he was apparently very defiant. Is it easier just to fire her?

So i hate to have guests. I hate people visiting my house. I hate it so much. When my relatives came visit and stay over for a few days, i can't stop trembling, cold sweating, and my breath is like i have an ashtma or something. Something stirring up inside me, either want to kill them whoever visits and stay over at my house, or i want to kill myself. Since i still live with my parents, sometimes they invite relatives and i have to lock myself up inside my own room, feeling like this. I want to destroy everything, and screaming but my unstable breathing stopped me, and my head was spinning, i can't see ****

Hi. I'm 17. This is mostly my fault. Throughout middle and high school, my relationship with my parents have not been the best at all. I got into many problems, got in trouble/caught for so many things, etc. Depression hit me hard in high school leading to self-harm, drug use, eating disorders, etc. This took a huge toll on my relationship with them, and we don't have a connection anymore. Mostly with my mother. Currently entering my senior year, I have been trying my best to get along with them and trying to act good without falling into temptation to do bad things again. My dad and I have been building up mutual trust and a connection with an occasional lecture here and there. But my mom, I don't know. We get along, but the next moment she is yelling at me for the littlest things and shame me for said "mental illnesses." I understand that I did wrong in the past, and all I am is trying to do good. But no matter what I do, there is no real progress and I feel awful because it is my fault, I lose motivation and want to give up, but I really do want to rebuild my relationship with them.

He is not mean to or about black people and he even voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. However, he is white and says he does not feel he could raise a black child because of the psychological issues that would arise. Is this racism? They are infertile is why they are adopting. The uncle is my aunt's husband so an uncle by marriage.

By stalking I mean trying to give this hatred to me. I like her siblings and she resents this, She has always had bias' against them and since her parents died she has turned it into hatred. She is trying to shove it on me but like I said I like her siblings and keep up though it is harder the more hateful my mother gets. How do I get her to stop stalking me with her hatred?

She is my step-sister after all. She recently was even fired from a job she is so lazy.

I don't get to see his family anymore either. This hurts me so much but I am only 14 and can't decide on my own. I email Dad and ask him to take her to court over it as someone at school told me his Dad took his Mom to court. Dad won't as he says that is too hurtful and that I can see him when I am 18. That is four whole years from now. Plus Mom insults him and his family everyday to me. I miss my grandparents a lot. I see my Dad once a year on my birthday but that is all. He loves us and says he will see us if my Mom allows it but she doesn't. She wouldn't even let us open a present from his parents at Christmas last year. Also 4 weeks ago I graduated from Middle School and my Mom wouldn't let him and my grandparents come. I felt so sad the next day because I thought they'd come. How do I get my Mom to let me see my Dad and his family or get my Dad to take her to court so she will be arrested if she doesn't let me see him? My sisters don't care but I do. Maybe because I am a boy. I don;t even have a grandfather since the divorce as my Mom's Dad died 6 years ago. My Mom lets me see her sister's husband's son at family functions and he is a real bad guy (the son went to prison for rape when I was a baby) but I can't see my own Dad whose only flaw was he lied to my Mom a lot about money and his job. We are leaving town for the summer so I'll still have fun this summer but in September, how can I get Mom to let me see Dad and his family again? Thanks to you all especially the 3 long answers.

I've hidden this situation every since I graduated from high school. I did it because I didn't want my parents to be disappointed in me or my mom to tell the rest of the family. 4 years ago, I did not graduate with honors and it pains me until this day. I thought god hated me because my 16 year old sister always gotten good grades and even graduated with high honors! I mean I've gotten A's and B's majority of my life but when I wanted something bigger, I let people get the best of me. Its my fault that I let others take that opportunity away from me by being someone I am not. I was more focused in trying to fit in that I wasn't focused on my grades. I've pretty much been bashing myself ever since and I am just asking for advice. It seems like when I need advice about this particular situation, I never get honest opinions so any would help. Thanks for responding to my question (I'm in college also dealing with financial aid termination and I don't know how I can get out that situation also. I work and it's impossible to save because I help my mom out

I'm 73 years old and will be leaving Prison next year on parole after doing a 50 year bid. I plan on starting a family as soon as I get out with a lovely correction officer lady I fell in love with in my prison. I want to go to community college. Do you think I'm too old to start a family

So I was already accepted to vet tech school. My parents kind of pressured me down this path and idk what to do. I don t think this is what I really want to do though. I have until a certain date to decide not to go but idk how to tell my parents I don t want to go and I d rather do something else. How should I tell my parents I don t want to go?

It is a known fact that family is the first to isolate a member they consider is a hopeless case. Friends and strangers have been there for me more than family. How many here can relate? Why is this the case? Why does family isolate the member(s) going through difficulty in life?

Im 17, and i hate my parents. One of my main concerns about them is, they are racist. Ive watched them ruin my sisters relationship with a black guy, because they dont want us dating black guys. My sister moved out when they told her to break up with him, and my dad said if she didn't come home he would kill her boyfriend, and knowing my dad, he would actually kill someone. My mom also played a role in this, she said if she didnt come home she would call the cops and tell them that my sister smokes weed (which she does) just so she could get arrested. My mom doesnt allow me to have internet on my phone, text, facetime, or anything that would allow me to talk to my black friends. Anytime i would make a friend at school that was black, my mom would call my teacher and tell the teacher not to allow me to hang out with that person at school. They are so mean, they use the n word all the time for stupid reasons. My moms favorite time to use the word is when shes driving and someone cuts her off, or pisses her off in any way she'll say "That stupid n*****." And she swears shes not racist. And thats one of the many reasons i hate them.

typo warning! its 6am. A few years ago I was diagnosed with A LOT of mental illnesses and my mother was NO help. She did nothing to help my MI and she constantly made me feel horrible about my self-harming. She's a very hypocritical Christian. she said my self harming was nothing but the devil and that i would go to hell for harming myself. When I would have an episode and be depressed for days she would threaten to put me in a group home if I didn't "get happy" eventually we went to therapy together and I got better. -fast forward 2-3 years- She's threatening to put me in another group home for having older friends. I literally had to beg and plead for her to take my MI seriously and when she finally did I had already moved on to the "I only care about myself" mindset. Do you know what its like to beg and plead for someone to take your MI seriously? A lot of people will say my grammar is horrible but tell me something I don't know! my mother put me in a alternative school to "help" me with my MI and we only had academic lessons for 1 hour a day. THATS LITERALLY 5 HOURS OF ACADEMIC LESSONS A WEEK. I MISSED OUT ON SO MUCH! DID SHE CARE? NO! I lack A LOT when it comes to my education. I hate to put my business out there but at this point I'm just so desperate for info My father passed away when i was super young and I get benefits from his death. I get $900 a month and I see none of it seeing as it goes towards bills and food for the house. my mom is disabled and she gets around $800 also. she doesn't give me anything. I wear the same 5-6 skinny jeans in diff colors and I barely have shoes. it isn't a problem but its a problem when she pays $300 monthly for a cable bill. I get about 60 thousand when I turn 18. She makes comments like "you're taking me on a cruise" "you're buying me a car" NO IM NOT. i know i dont have to give her a dime but im seriously concerned she's going to try to declare me unfit so she can be over my money like she is now due to me being a minor. I really want to get emancipated but I'd have to prove i can live alone which isnt going to be easy. I have older friends i could live with but she's threatend to call the cops on them so many times i wouldnt even want to risk it. living with her is an everyday hell. This goes beyond an overprotective parent. My mother is mentally ill and she DOES NOT take her meds. i try not to trigger her in any way but this is just ridicoulous. i cant focus on my MI and worry about hers at the same time. I have no way of going to a courthouse so i can see about getting emancipated I NEED ANSWERS..

It is a known fact that family is the first to isolate a member they consider is a hopeless case. Friends and strangers have been there for me more than family. How many here can relate? Why is this the case? Why does family isolate the member(s) going through difficulty in life?

I've been wanting to drop out for a long time and I turn 16 May of 2018 which were I live is the age where you can drop out but you need a parent's permission. My mom is perfectly fine with my decision but my dad keeps saying no and I'm forced to finish school but I just can't do it anymore. All school does is make me depressed and suicidal and crap and he refuses to take me to a therapist even though my doctor keeps telling him to make me go but he thinks I'm perfectly fine. I just want a break. I do plan to go back to school because I do want to finish my education and I told him that but he still says no. He even dropped out of school when he was 16 and like 5 years later he went back to school and he has a good job and everything. I dont really know how to convince him to give me permission.

I am a 17 year old guy and I have a brother who is 16 years old, he has already flunked one year and is repeating it. All he does is play his computer games and throws fits when my grandmom pulls him off. He doesn't take showers, doesn't eat properly, and my parents are stupid to never show him to a psychiatrist, I live with my grandmom and my dad is overseas ever since we were born, I have no mom and she left us when we were infants. I am about to leave this house next month as I am going to study in a university but I can't stop worrying, what to do and thanks for reading my lengthy story.

this is a story my friend told me about one of her friends, who i'll call emma okay so emma is 19, and she's had a huge crush on this 20 year old guy in her friend group (i'll call him grayson) for like two years. when she first met grayson, he had a girlfriend so emma couldn't get with him, but he broke up with his gf a couple of months ago so emma thought it was finally her chance....but then grayson started hanging out with this new girl who i'll call sara. sara is 24. sara and grayson were nothing serious at all, but emma wanted to prevent anything from starting up between them so here's what she did... emma asked her dad (who's single and really hot and young...i don't think he's even 40 yet) to "distract" sara for as long as it took for emma to make grayson her boyfriend, and he actually did it. so basically, emmas dad messaged sara on social media, flirted with her, and eventually took her on a few dates/hooked up with her multiple times so sara would focus on him and back off of grayson while his daughter worked on making grayson fall for her. and the crazy thing is...amazingly, it worked. now grayson and emma are dating and grayson never found out about emmas dad and sara because sara just completely stopped talking to grayson after she met emmas dad i guess none of this was really WRONG...no one cheated or helped anyone cheat because grayson and sara were never official...but its still one of the strangest stories i've ever heard. what do you think?

I'm a 17 year old girl, and I'm very close to my 16 year old first cousin. Our moms are sisters and we see each other all the time. We're basically best friends. My cousin's dad is a terrible father. He disappears for days at a time without telling anyone where he's going and doesn't ever even really talk to my cousin that much when he's at home. He's very cold and distant. He's basically a stranger to her and it's sad. My dad, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. I have a very strong bond with him, and he's always been present in my life. Recently, my cousin has started saying rude and illogical things about my dad. She'll be like, "why does your dad call you 'baby'? Why does he tell you he loves you every time y'all separate? That's weird!" She's COMPLETELY wrong, because nothing about the way my dad treats me is weird AT ALL. He calls me "baby" in a fatherly way of course, not a romantic way, and he doesn't even do it that often – maybe twice a week max. He tells me he loves me when we separate because you should always do that with the people you love since you never know when the last time you see them will be. It's not like he says, "I love you sooo much, you're my world, etc." He always just says, "love you, bye" when he leaves the house or whatever. So what's up with my cousin? Is she just jealous because she has daddy issues or is she so delusional that she genuinely thinks there's something weird about the way my dad treats me?

I already contacted the person but she refuses to take them down. She's trying to use those pictures to promote her business but she didn't make anything that she's promoting. It disgusts me that she's taking a party that me and my sister organized for our baby nieces birthday party and this person comes and starts using the images as hers to try and make a profit from it. What are my options?

There was a boy she was dating who broke up with her. Suddenly he has the measles. Two months ago the same thing happened except the guy came down with the flu. I think she cast a spell on them. I thought I had raised her better than that. What can I do to get her to stop being a witch? And if I can't get her to give it up is there any prayer or white magic that I could use to protect people from her spells? There's more evidence. Everytime I've refused her requests, I have a bad day. I didn't let her have a sleep-over with her boyfriend, and the next day the car broke down. I told her she had watched too much TV already and had to give it a rest. Five minutes later I get a call from my boss saying I've been laid off! I'm afraid if she doesn't stop being a witch the neighbors will catch on. She could be tried for witchcraft. What can I do to get her to give up this reckless and immoral lifestyle?

I'm going on a trip with my grand parents I've taken several times, and I absolutely adore it. Long story short I never get to see my grandparents, maybe a hand full of times a year, and when I do my cousins who are all younger are wanting my attention and I rarely get one on one with my grandparents. These same cousins live much closer to them and spend 3-4 days a week minimum with them. Well our special trip this year was found out by one of my cousins who guilt tripped her way in, and I'm really down. I wouldn't mind if she didn't see them literally douzons of times more than me and this wasn't a trip designed for just me and them. My cousin, who is in middle school, and I also end up clashing heads a little. She loves being sassy, social media, etc. and I just want a quite hiking trip. I'm just really down about it.

I have a trip that I adore taking that I take with my grandparents. I very rarely get to see them, and these trips we take mean more to me than anything. I make amazing memories, and the best part- it's just us. The problem is, this year it isn't. I have several cousins who live much closer to them than I do. They spend at least 3-4 days a week over there. I'm lucky to get to spend that much in half a year. When I do visit they are naturally there and I don't get time with my grandparents. It's fine, I don't mind entertaining them, my parents are visiting to talk with my grandparents too. But these trips are different. It's just me and them. No entertaining younger cousins. Quality time. This year one of my more spoiled cousins found out about our summer trip and guilt tripped her way into it. I feel like such an idiot because it's my fault, the choice was mine in the end, but she jumped me just right that I'd seem like a selfish brat if I said no. Truth is I do NOT want her to go. This was my time. Besides not wanting to share time that's limited to me and not her, she's also spoiled. She's a middle schooler who's all into media and all that, not to mention thinks being sassy is cute. I love her, but I hate it all. I wanted to go hiking, talk, and bond, and not be pestered to take livelys or whatever. She'll pout and I just ugh! Don't know what to do.

So my dad and I have never really got along we both want to be right but he always ends up "winning" the battle. So it's summer for me right now, and i've been doing what all teenagers do - having fun and relaxing during the summer. But then my dad tries to take away all of the fun that I'm having. I asked him if i could go to an amusement park with my friends, he said no. I asked him why but he just said that I am not supposed to hang out with friends and do all that "crap". I mean, why not? It's summer and I want to have fun. Another time I was reading, he saw me, and just walked out of my room. When I finished the book, I decided I would just watch some Netflix, but he came in again, shook his head, and disabled the ability of Netflix to work on the WiFi. He has also disabled Snapchat, Instagram, and Youtube. So I'm basically stuck. Anyway, we went out one night as a family, I came back, and he had taken all of my electronics, my phone, ipad, and even computer. I had lost it by then, so I confronted him and asked him why he was doing this. He just said "you need to stop being so addicted to all of this" so I said "you're supposed to have fun in summer and you're not letting me do that" and he said "summer is not for relaxation. And if i do try to stand up to him, he shouts at me and sometimes even hits me. I've tried talking to him and everything, he just won't change. Please help.

I love my man, but good lord I did not realize that I would have to deal with his mother as much as what I do. She is constantly being dramatic causing us to have to change our plans. I don't blame her completely though. I feel like if my husband just put his foot down then we would be able to move past this, but nooooo, he has to constantly cater to her every need and demand, and trust me when I say that she has A LOT of needs and demands. We live about 5 minuets from his parents and we see them every day, yet she has to call him about 3 times an hour needing something, or suggesting that we do something for his sister. I know I may sound crazy for keeping track of how much she calls, but damn I have been pushed to my limit.

My dad and my family have been having ISSUES for a while now, but since we're loving and caring, we've moved on from them time time and again. But 18 years and I am so done. I can't stand it anymore. FOR EXAMPLE: TODAY: my grandpa is f*cking dying. Although i hadn't spent much time with him because he lives halfway across the world, he's still my relative and I want to see him before he f*cking passes away. So I ask my mom (who's the only one who is going) if I could come. I know the chances ARE EFFING LOW BUT I STILL ASK BECAUSE WHAT CAN I SAY? I WANT TO SEE MY GRANDPA BEFORE HE DIES. MY DAD LITERALLY IMPLODES IN ANGER and YELLS AT ME saying "YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT. I LIVE HERE AND I NEVER DO WHAT I WANT. THAT'S LIFE. STOP ACTING SO SPOILED. FOLLOW YOUR SCHEDULE. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM. HE DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER YOU. I KNOW YOU'RE JUST GOING THERE TO HAVE FUN" (EVEN WITH DEMENTIA MY GRANDPA REMEMBERS ME EFFIN HEL) And I say: Yes dad. Mhm. Yup, he does not remember me and nor do I remember him. Yes, I'm so sorry for asking. Later: no dad, it's okay, I'm not mad. I love you goodnight. I'm not kidding when I say I want to go insane. help. i just need someone who can relate or somehting. update: no my dad never apologizes. He just makes me try to agree with him and his viewpoint. usually goes like this: *slams open my door* (had it closed cuz i was pissed) Lily. *Stares at me with his beady eyes to sense if I'm still pissed* Luckily I've gotten pretty good at hiding my emotion so I pass. Lily, you know you can't go. This is not the time(summer vacay but wtevr)! I know you just wanted to go and have fun but you can't always be spoiled and do what you want. Am i right?? (Yes dad) to everyone telling me to leave cuz I'm 18: ok, I'm not 18 yet. I'm close. like 2 months. oh yes I DEFINTELY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT MY MOM FEELS. totally not like she raised me you inconsiderate prick. that was sarcasm btw, since you're dumb enough to suggest it. @swimming on it Wrong move of trying to accuse me not feeling anything for my mom.

i am asking because me and my 9 year old sister are close.. sometimes closer than my 15 year old boyfriend.. but i am 14 and my sister is the only family member that i have a HUGE emotional connection.. we cuddle together, we play the game cube together, and sometimes my boyfriend and i just play with my sister since my boyfriend and i think shes adorable. but i hear my friends say stuff like. "how do you and you're sister connect so much." or "i wish my sibling can get a long with me like your sister does." so i wonder,do my friends have bad history with siblings. is it odd me and my sister bond way better than most? i want to know.

i know no one likes their parents but i have a genuine reason. it's like this: she sends my testicles up in my body from nervousness. i am female but my nerves are shot when she yells my name. i.e when i touch myself and i hear her in the next room i am basically cockblocked. i can feel her presence just lingering. she recently cleaned the floors and polished them and i waited until she said i could walk on the floors until i did the dishes and when i did the dishes i was afraid she would yell at me for being on the floor! i don't get to hang out with my friends either. im 17. i said basterd today and she flipped out. this goes beyond helicopter parent. this is hell. any advice?

Marshall is 15 years old. At school he's bullied, at home his mother calls him wrothless, liar and hits him. His step dad also abuses him and Marshall is forced to care for his two siblings. His four year old brother Mike who has Down syndrome and six year old sister Emily. One day Mike bites Marshall and kicks him. Marshall screams and throws Mike across the room. He tells Mike sometimes I really hate you and drags him by his hair. Marshall would physically fight his little brother into the closet and keep him in there for up to three hours. Marshall also told his siblings they make his life a living hell. Marshall would also bathe naked around his siblings. His younger sister saw his penls several times. One day Emily sat on Marshall's lap in the living room, she bounced in Marshall's lap and Marshall gasped in horror and got visibly hard. Later that night Marshall would stare at Emily half dressed, and imagine Emily's body when she grows up. He get aroused whenever she sits on his lap but he allows her to do so anyway. Is Marshall a horrible brother?

My piano teacher is going to come next week and I dont know how to handel talking to her now that ive lied.

My dad is turning 66 this year and for the past fourteen years has not been willing to celebrate his birthday in any way, shape or form because his wife passed away the day after. None of his six children were/have been capable of snapping him out of his funk but I hope with the help of you guys I may be able to instill some logical perspective into him and extricate him from his self-built mental prison. Thank you in advance. P.S. I know this is a sensitive area, "to each his own" and all, but this is my dad - not getting any younger - and he s been in the same perfunctory slump the past fourteen years straight. Please provide any insightful, logical and solid reasons why he should simply be willing to let go of what happened fourteen years ago and commence celebrating his own b-day again so the weight may be lifted and we can all be proud/happy knowing he s let go.

He has drank his whole life. He's 61 and diabetic, he expects me not to smoke weed or do anything that is out of what he thinks is right. He's always judging me and always points out the wrong things I do. Never has he been a compassionate father towards me. Every time I see him drink I see that he chose his alcohol over me and my siblings. He tells me I don't need compassion from anybody. The only person I can really talk to is my brother and I can't stand to be around my dad at times because he doesn't open up to me. I've always been nice to him and always have been by his side yet he still drinks and he can't even have a conversation with me without having a beer next to him. I don't get him like why can't you just be my dad and leave the damn alcohol alone.

I recently lost my job, car and home and had to move back in with my mom and step dad who live outside of town. I have a 3 year old to support by myself because the father left us and moved to Florida. Right now my step dad is the only one working because my mom is relapsing with her schizophrenia and the only way I can get a job is if I can get one with her. So I am screwed. I have tried getting government help bit was denied so im trying to fight there decision, but I have no money.amd no hope for a better future for my son and I. What options do I have? My family wont let me use their extra vehicle and my step dad is on the verge of kicking me out because i cant pay anything. i cant pay anything because i don't have a job i don't have a job because i cant get to a job because i am 4 hours walking distance from any job and I would have to walk with my 3 year old because my mom wont watch my son nor can she.

I never get time or peace to myself because my sister has my niece and nephew with me all the time. I'm young and I really just want to go out.. When I tell my sister enough is enough and that I'm not going to watch her kids, she gets angry at me. She's not grateful for what I put my health through for her. I'm stressed and everyday I just think about moving in with my dad to get away from her.

I don't get to see his family anymore either. This hurts me so much but I am only 14 and can't decide on my own. I email Dad and ask him to take her to court over it as someone at school told me his Dad took his Mom to court. Dad won't as he says that is too hurtful and that I can see him when I am 18. That is four whole years from now. Plus Mom insults him and his family everyday to me. I miss my grandparents a lot. I see my Dad once a year on my birthday but that is all. He loves us and says he will see us if my Mom allows it but she doesn't. She wouldn't even let us open a present from his parents at Christmas last year. Also 4 weeks ago I graduated from Middle School and my Mom wouldn't let him and my grandparents come. I felt so sad the next day because I thought they'd come. How do I get my Mom to let me see my Dad and his family or get my Dad to take her to court so she will be arrested if she doesn't let me see him? My sisters don't care but I do. Maybe because I am a boy. I don;t even have a grandfather since the divorce as my Mom's Dad died 6 years ago. My Mom lets me see her sister's husband's son at family functions and he is a real bad guy (the son went to prison for rape when I was a baby) but I can't see my own Dad whose only flaw was he lied to my Mom a lot about money and his job. We are leaving town for the summer so I'll still have fun this summer but in September, how can I get Mom to let me see Dad and his family again?
