Question: Hello! So I had a question. Shluld I feel bad about not being close to my family.?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 01:09 PM PDT

So I m currently 17 years old and when I was 4 my dad passed away. And at 5 my mom remarried. And all growing up except about my a year ago my step dad never treated me with respect he was an asshole a lot until I finally came out and told my mom and things finally got better....a little not much. And they recently had a baby and it just feels weird to me because I didn t really care for the decision because he was an asshole to me my whole life and my older brother left as soon as he was 18 and feels the same way. And my whole my family criticizes me for not being this standard family kind of brother but they don t understand he was an asshole my whole life and it s very hard for me to accept. I ve became the type person who like to be alone a lot just to gather my thoughts and not here criticism. So my question is does this make me a bad person for being the average family kind of guy?

Question: My mom is fighting with someone we care about and I don't know what to do...?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 01:08 PM PDT

My mom is in the middle of a divorce and it's something that needed to be done for a while now since there had been problems at home. We've had a family friend there for us through it all and my siblings and I have started looking up to him as a father figure since we didn't have the best relationship with our own father. Now my mom and him are fighting because my father is getting angry that he's around so much and this father figure doesn't want to cause conflict. So now him and my mom are fighting constantly and I'm so scared we're gonna lose him in our lives. I don't know what to do because I don't want to just sit around and no nothing as he slowly disappears. He is someone my siblings and I really need and it would really hurt us if he just suddenly wasn't in our lives anymore.what should I do?

Question: I'm a 15 y/o girl and my brother who is 30 is my legal guardian. I used to love him but now as my legal guardian I don't. What should I do?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 01:06 PM PDT

-He used to be so funny and chill but now he's like you don't respect me - But I still only see him as my brother but he wants me to respect him as a legal guardIn -What should I do?

Question: My brother is mad at me! What do I do?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 01:01 PM PDT

It s been almost a year since my brother doesn t talk to me. He got mad because he was waiting for me for 2-3 hours so he was starving. I did offer to buy him food but he said no, so once I got food for my co worker and I, he wanted it. He was laughing so I thought he was joking. After that, he got mad and hasn t talked me to me since. He ll acknowledge me when there s family around but that s it. He said he felt as though I chose my co worker over him. I ve apologized so many times and nothing. He left to the marine corps bootcamp and I thought he would talk to me after he returned but nothing. He even says he prefers my bf (he s also in MC bootcamp) over me.

Question: I miss my biological father... He refuses to talk to me. I have an idea but I'm not sure it will work?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 12:39 PM PDT

My biological father lives in Long Beach California. I live in Northeastern Kansas. I can't just go over to his house and refuse to leave. I could get his girlfriend's phone number from my aunt, his sister. Her name is Ally, his name is Micheal. My mom's name is Andrea. I live with Andrea. Micheal won't talk to me. I'm pretty sure Ally doesn't know I exist. She's motivated my dad to become a better man. He's stopped drinking in excess. He doesn't do drugs anymore. He does a lot of community service. He's a much better person, according to my aunt. I want to try reaching out again, but I'm afraid. He's told me not to talk to him ever again. I need to know if I should send Ally a message to ask her to talk to him. My aunt says she's a great person and that her and I would get along great. HELP????

Question: Can't I get a place to live cheaper?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 12:11 PM PDT

I lost my mom 18 months ago. I am now in my mom's home with a brother that is mentally ill and stays home all day. My cousin complains to me that I must not get enough food since my brother was 350 and now 325. My brother agrees with me that he gets plenty of food. I left him 8 pieces of pizza one day from a place he said he likes and he only ate half of them and said he felt it wasn't as good. My cousin wants me to keep the house and said it is the cheapest way to go and it would cost me at least $1,200 month in rent otherwise. I don't like how she downgrades how I must not get food and I really am keeping my brother from a group home. Couldn't I being one person get a place for less than $1,200 a month?

Question: My parents won't let me go outside they say that it's "too dangerous" and no one my age should go out without an adult (I'm 14..)?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 11:47 AM PDT

they say it's because of a kid my age was killed.. but they were really far away from us.. if I ask my mom to go to the park ( which is a one minute walk from my house ) she will yell at me. I want more freedom but I don't know what to do..

Question: Ok so anytime I or my parents try and talk to my sister about anything so gets really mad and yells and just completely loses it?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 11:35 AM PDT

I just try to help her out but she just calls me a ***hole and storms off same with my parents any advice is greatly appreciated.

Question: My mom is staying with me and my aunts are coming to my house on Wednesday. Help me?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 10:39 AM PDT

My aunts do not get along with her and I can't afford a hotel room for my mom for 5 nights. My mom has had issues with metahdone and we do not have a good relationship. I am 23. She is so clingy. Should I force my mom to go to my grandma's house or should I tell my aunts the truth that she is staying?

Question: How come when I talk a lot to my mom, then she gets mad?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 10:17 AM PDT

i tend to talk a lot.

Question: My Mom is forgiving towards her family but refuses to forgive her in-laws. This hurts me alot. How do I overcome the hurt that this causes?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 10:06 AM PDT

This hurts me terribly because it makes me a 2nd rate relative on my Dad's side as my folks don't go to their events and I sometimes am allowed to go with my grandmother but not a lot since my Mom holds grudges. Yet she forgives her family. Her families offenses are worse. Her brother has domestic violence, her sister abandoned a child, and her other brother was an alcoholic though he has recovered. Yet, my Mom forgives them because they are family. She won't forgive her in-laws and I miss out 2/3rds of the time. It hurts so much especially at the family holidays like Christmas when we have to go to the domestic violence uncle's house. I even have a drug addict cousin and my Mom forgave him and was sad when he died. So how do I overcome this hurt that I have? I am 14 years old so can't go where I want and even when I am an adult I will likely get grief when I do. The offenses my Mom won't forgive is that her in-laws were not excited when my Dad married my Mom. Also, my Dad's only sister and my Mom don't get along real well since my Mom is gossipy and my Dad's sister is more private. One of my Dad's brothers my mother finds moody yet my Mom is forgiving with her own brother breaking things in his house when mad at his wife. I don't get it and it hurts me. I don't have many friends so family is important to me. HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES BUT ONLY GOTTEN ONE ANSWER FROM A TROLL. LAST TIME I WILL ASK

Question: So for "Relationship with next of kin" (e.g. in an application form), is it their relationship to me or my relationship to them?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 09:12 AM PDT

So for example if I put my dad as next of kin, would "Relationship with next of kin" be daughter or father?

Question: What does "Relationship with next of kin" mean? (e.g. in an application form)?

Question: Can my mother legally hit me?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 08:38 AM PDT

I am an adult and my mother hits me because she says I am disrespectful. I am 17 years old. My father says that if I call the police, he will kick me out. I told her it's abuse, but she said that parents have the right to beat their kids when they are disrespectful. My mother is extremely religious. I am not being disrespectful. I am simply voicing my opinion about my life, such as being forced to go to church or eat certain foods.

Question: My dad has cancer and my mom wants to leave him.?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 08:18 AM PDT

My dad recently got cancer. He's just finished his last bit of chemo. Its not really fatal and since January my mother has really changed. They've been together for 50 years and every single day they argue. Its ultimately my mother wondering why my dad doesnt take her out anymore. She constantly nags him and goes out everyday shopping spending up all his credit cards. She literally complains about everything and cries everyday because she says she needs a man to take care of her. She constantly gets in arguments with my siblings and the other day my brother stormed out the house cause our mom was being mean to dad again, saying how she hurts more than my dad when he's the one that is in the most pain. My dad cannot walk anymore and carries a walking chair everywhere he goes. Im the last child to live at home and some of the things my mother says to my dad just makes me sick. Whenever she leaves the house he constantly cries to me and i dont know what to do. I feel one day she might physically hurt my dad. I want to leave and start a life of my own but i dont want to leave my dad alone with her. What should I do? Should i contact someone about this?

Question: Should I be forced to do everything with disabled sister?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 08:17 AM PDT

My parents force me to do everything with my sister who is learning disabled. My sister and I are both adults, 26 and 32, and we have developed an unhealthy relationship. My parents make me take her with me every single place I go. When in public, my mother even forces me to go to the bathroom with my sister; she is fully capable of walking and using the bathroom just like normal. Because of this, I am afraid to go anywhere by myself. This also affected my work life, because I couldn't bring her with me and my mother would call me at work to tell me how depressed my sister was. My parents play on my emotion by leading me to believe that her loneliness will cause her to commit suicide. She has become dependent on me and I have become dependent on her. I was never able to have a boyfriend because my parents always made me take her with me on dates. When my sister was younger and had a friend, on the other hand, my parents told me that I needed to give her personal space. My parents are way too overprotective of my sister and me because of her disability. We are both treated like we are unable to function. Even though she doesn't have good reasoning or coping skills and can't work, she still doesn't need to be babied. I am 26. I live with my parents because my parents want me to provide her with company. It was either that or have her move in with me and take on the financial responsibility for her.

Question: I stole money from my mum?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 08:13 AM PDT

Okay I feel so ashamed saying this because I am not this person but today I went into our laundry room and my mum was in there too and I said "oh £2 nice one" and I put it in my pocket thinking that my mum had heard, she had not mentioned it again until later in the day when she asked if anyone had taken it I said no that I hadn't seen it or taken it when really it was in my pocket.( again I feel awful) so I then spent it later that day and got home and realised what I had done and felt really bad and hoped no one would say anything about it but my mum called me downstairs and asked me if I had taken it and I said yes Because I couldn't lie to her i then went back upstairs and now feel so insanely bad about the whole situation she has been nothing but nice to me and I was so disgusting in the way I behaved what do I do to make it better?!?

Question: When you lose all of your contacts?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 08:01 AM PDT

When you lose all of your contacts because you had to get a replacement phone do you ask the people who numbers you want for their numbers or wait until they contact you and ask who it is?

Question: Is it wrong to tell my 16 yr old daughter that she must earn a 3.0 gpa or higher if she wants a brand new car for graduation?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 07:58 AM PDT

If she gets below a 3.0 unless it is a medical or catastrophic situation then I will only buy her a used 2005 Chevy aveo. If she graduates in 2019 wit a 3.0 or higher I will buy her a new Nissan or Honda.

Question: Is it normal I find my sister attractive?

Question: Are my parents too strict?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 07:30 AM PDT

I m 23 years old and my parents still want me to be home at a certain time (3am). I know it s not an early curfew but I m an adult with a full time job. I ve also had a rough couple of years going through school, relationships, and hanging out with the wrong people. Recently my parents went through my purse without me knowing and found something I shouldn t have had in the first place which I m not proud of but its something I want to leave in the past and I ve been trying to be more responsible and calm down on the partying. My parents are very religious, they won t even let me drink they think even a glass of wine will make me a bad person. Are my parents too strict?

Question: What do you guys think about my father. Is he a bad father?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 06:18 AM PDT

The reason I'm asking this is that I know I'm not the worst case scenario out there, and that makes me guilty of my suffering. I feel like I don't deserve to feel this way, since there are others who are in worst case than me. But it really is hurting and destroying me throughout the years. Everytime my dad and mom have a fight, my dad always barges down my door and drag me out to yell, scold (nice way to put it), or occasionally hit me (in my younger days). It doesn't even have to be anything to do with me, as long as my mom is mad at him and he's in a bad mood. He feels like scolding, yelling, and sometimes hitting me can make her 'not angry anymore'. It's also because of this that he say stuff like: "If I beat her up, will that make you feel better?" To my mom. This has traumatic effects on me, not surprising since it lasted throughout my life, to this day. Everytime I hear them having an argument, I can't help but be truly terrified, and wait for the moment when he bangs on my door. It's not a normal fear. It's a fear that gets you chills and you're truly afraid. This makes me super jumpy to banging door sounds, and gets me into a panic attack whenever I hear them fight. In other words, I have been raised in an environment that I do not feel safe. My mother is wonderful. She used to be a little bit abusive because of her bad temper and beats me a lot, but now the role has switched. However, whenever my dad drags me into their fights, she NEVER STOOD UP FOR ME. Okay I just re-read it, my mom does beat me (it's common in asia), but she doesn't do that anymore.

Question: I need some advice folks. My 64 yr old mother remarried less than a year ago after being divorced for 30 years..?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 05:13 AM PDT

At first I was so happy for her but I began to dislike him very quickly. Long story short, he has put a wedge between us and we haven't spoken for 3 months. My Aunt told me yesterday how unhappy she is and that he went to hit her but stopped shy right before he made contact. How do I handle this? Worried...

Question: Why didn't she tell me who she was?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 05:10 AM PDT

Her text: I really miss you and if I never see you again I wish you love and happiness. Me: ? Her: You know I get in my feelings when I've been drinking. Me: This is a replacement phone...sorry I don't recognize the number. Her: Maybe that's a good thing. Me: No, it's not. Her: If you wanted my number you would've asked me for it when you lost it. Why would she just tell me who the number belonged to. Why be difficult?

I'm a 19 year old only child. My 58 year old dad has been having sex with a 27 year old girl. She is obviously a gold digger because my father is rich.

Question: My brother is horrible to me- Please help!?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 04:09 AM PDT

He always calls "asshole *****" or "smartass pig", and pins me down so i can't move, let alone breathe, or kicks me and pinches me. He is older than me, stronger than me, and my parents' favourite, so he never gets in trouble. He is horrible & aggressive. When he's supposed to look after me, he just leaves the house and doesn't return for ages. These are only a few ways of how he is horrid- Help!

I'm a 13 year old girl and my parents do so much for me. They buy me everything I want and they made sure to get me into one of the best private schools in the area..they do so much for me. I'm trying not to be a brat, I'm sorry if I sound like one but I just cry at times because I feel like I'm not grateful enough. I love my sister, mom, and dad more than anything.

Question: I didn't teII my parents where I went, not expecting any consequences but only made things worse for them. what do I do now?? Advice?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 03:38 AM PDT

Because my mother never lets me go anywhere I didn't tell her where I went after my exam. I went to the movies with three friends, one had her Ps who picked us up and dropped us off. I was thinking of calling my dad who was supposed to picks me up.. But I was like,nah i'll just text my mum to tell my dad to pick me up at 4 like I always do. then waited at my school for almost over half an hour. which im most guilty about. I kept calling but he hadn't brung his phone with him as usual. I forgot all about my brother's school finishing at 3.30 and that he'd pick my brother up first then drive straight to my school. I arrived home at 3.20. My father appears to be quite upset& angry, and so is my mother and the rest of the family who my mother has told. Does anyone have a similar story to share Also, what do I do?!!?

Question: Can my dad enroll me into a school without my mom saying so?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 03:15 AM PDT

Okay so my mom and dad have joint custody of me, my mom on the weekdays and my dad on the weekends (there was never any court order to do that, just a personal agreement), but my mom isnt a stable parent, always drunk or high on something, but my dad is. My mom seems to think that she calls all of the shots and that she owns me and gets to say what happens and what doesnt, despite the fact her being a nutjob, and recently she decided that my dad gets me on the weekdays now (which is what i want) but she wants to do it only for the summer, so is it possible for me to enroll in a school near my dads house instead without her knowing?

Question: Help me with my life?

Question: Does This Seem Fair To Anyone?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 03:01 AM PDT

Okay so here's what's going on, my dad said if my sister passes the driving test and gets her permit my dad will get her a car but that isn't the problem, the problem is my dad said if he gets my sister a car and if I also pass my drivers license he won't get me a car because he have already gotten my Sister a car does This seem fair at all?

Question: What should I do if my home life is just too stressful for me?I sometimes can't even cope with the thought of waking up.:(?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 02:09 AM PDT

My parents demand me to do chores in the house and take care of my younger siblings which became to me a full time job.I have older siblings that equally help but to me this shouldn't be on us. We clean the house everyday,we prepare food for the youngest,we play with them,we take them outside because mom is occupied with another new baby and dad is at work.I feel like they rely on us too much and I can't have a moment for myself in the house since it's too small for all of us. At this point I don't understand why they decided to have another baby.They argue about how life is hard and they can't do all the things but why should I be caught in the middle?Now I don't have any friends since I was born shy and my situation at home doesn't help.I am tired of life,I don't want to wake up to babies screaming anymore.I don't think I can cope anymomore.I don't want to help them at this point. They make me feel so selfish. It feels like they don't allow me to be upset about the situation.They are verbally abusive and tell me I'm lazy and I don't do anything all day. They are against what I do for relaxing,for trying to escape this reality.Now I want to do something about it,only I don't know what.I have to finish another 3 years of highshcool but no way in hell I can tolerate this anymore.They ignore me when I'm sad and pretend evrything is ok.They buy us food and everything but I think every parent should do this for their kidds.I am scared I will do bad in school.What should I do?

Question: I can't be there to save her in time! What should I do?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 12:52 AM PDT

My sister and her husband been having a bad blood every since. Her husband is a bipolar, and can be crazy. My sister is being a ****** idiot, for staying with him 3 time! First, she got preg, and he got forced to marry her. They been dating for 3 years. Then, she got beat up, and she left. What happen? You are correct, she went back to him. He went back to being a ok dude, then bipolar kick in, and he didn't care about her, and she left him again. 3rd time? *****, you guessing right. He called her again, and she got back in touch with him. She went back to go live with him. He is doing ok now, but recently, my stupid ****** brother left condom in the car, while my other sister went to go switch car with my sister who is married. My sister who was pissed that my brother leave condom wrapper on her car. MY brother is retarded like my sister's husband too. Both bipolar. Anyway, she cleaned her car, but the condom slipped out of the garbage bag. My sister and sister who is married switched cars. NExt thing, my sister's husband drove the car, and found the condom. Now, he went into bipolar mode. He doesn't believe anything, and there is no point telling my brother to tell im that it was his, because my brother is ****** stupid, and said we framed him. Now, my sister life, I see is in danger! She tells us for almost 3 years, she is gonna leave him for good, but she is still here. I'm afraid something bad will happen to her and my 2 niece. Calling the cops will make him more crazy.

Question: My mom is acting strange and she s paying while I m overseas studying. She s been late with tuition, rent, etc. should I repatriate?

Posted: 14 Aug 2017 12:39 AM PDT

I'm studying overseas. Nearly everyone here is being sponsored by their parents. The remainder are scholarship students. My mom has been sponsoring me up until present, but now I don t know what shappening or what I should do. I had one more semester to go before finishing a three-year proficiency course and taking proficiency exams to become certified. Then my mom got cancer and I had to take a year off. She was diagnosed terminal and the whole experience nearly bankrupted us. She wouldn t let me work as she thought she was dying soon, and despite my better judgment I resigned myself to having a hard time later in order to be there with her before she died. Surprisingly, she lived. I went back abroad to finish my studies and take my proficiency exams with the few savings I had left.I was told if I added an extra year of studies I could earn a BA in the foreign language. Once I got there I was told I had to added two to three years instead. I decided not to. But this is when it got disturbing. Since then my mom said that the way I pronounced p and b made me sound lewd and that I had a lewd fixation. I tried to get her to explain how the pronunciation of p and b could mean so much, but she only made more outrageous claims. She has since accused me of being slapped by corrupt CIA agents in an FBI office, being on a high-level committee to assuage that and other abuse, and accused me and several other people she knows of incest and sleeping with people from TV news, etc. ???

Question: What to do?

Question: How to explain to daughter that her mother needs to go to jail and the concept of visitS?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 11:01 PM PDT

The charge is a forgery charge and it is a six month sentence main problem I have is she will see her mom in jail clothes and see guards and other inmates that could be intimidating I have a daughter who is 15 and she seems to be handling it fine. I told her right away about it and she reacted pretty calmly. I told her mom did the wrong thing and is rightfully serving her punishment. Actually my daughter does not seem scared but instead seems excited and enthusiastic to visit. This is strange to me. Do you find this normal? They have a good relationship. Main problem I have is She will see her mom in a jail jumpsuit She will see other inmates and women behind bars The guards could be intimidating Is that ok for a 15 year old to see? Actually my daughter does not seem scared but instead seems excited and enthusiastic to visit. This is strange to me. Do you find this normal? My daughter seems to find the idea of her mom wearing a uniform, sharing a room funny. I wonder why she would think it is funny. Interestingly they have a good relationship my wife says bring her if she wants to

Question: Can you wear boxer under your parents roof?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 10:58 PM PDT

I am 24 year old guy. Body size average. I've been wearing only boxer around my house for a few months now. At first my parents doesn't care then after awhile they give me a restriction on dressing. The restriction is I cannot walk into the living room with only wearing boxer bc of reglion beliefs. I cannot be half nake in front of a God statue. I told both of my parents that I'm always in my room & the only time I would be out of my room is heading to the bathroom or grab a drink of water. But now my parents doesn't want to see me in boxer at all. I have one brother living with my parents. He is 16 right now. Just recently, I went to the kitchen to grab something in the fridge.

Question: Why does my older brother act this way?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 10:45 PM PDT

I swear that my brother is 20 but acts like he's still 11 at some point! I'm 15 and I actually know better than him. He was involved in a fight inside a nightclub. The security told them to get out but they started doing stupid things on the streets instead! They were completely drunk and the cops were involved. Also, it was Mother's Day.... so guess what, my mom woke up and saw her own son on the news video fighting on the streets! She wasn't happy to hear that either. Drinking age is 19 for us Canadians. He's been hanging out at the bars and gets a little wild. Even his ex-girlfriend said college students who are old enough to be grown men still think and act like boys! He acts almost exactly like the boys in my grade, and it's a 5 year age difference too. He was a LOT less mature at my age too.

Question: My mom is acting strange and she s paying while I m overseas studying. She s been late with tuition, rent, etc. should I repatriate?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 10:32 PM PDT

I m studying overseas. Nearly everyone here is being sponsored by their parents. The remainder are scholarship students. My mom has been sponsoring me up until present, but now I don t know what shappening or what I should do. I had one more semester to go before finishing a three-year proficiency course and taking proficiency exams to become certified. Then my mom got cancer and I had to take a year off. She was diagnosed terminal and the whole experience nearly bankrupted us. She wouldn t let me work as she thought she was dying soon, and despite my better judgment I resigned myself to having a hard time later in order to be there with her before she died. Surprisingly, she lived. I went back abroad to finish my studies and take my proficiency exams with the few savings I had left.I was told if I added an extra year of studies I could earn a BA in the foreign language. Once I got there I was told I had to added two to three years instead. I decided not to. But this is when it got disturbing. Since then my mom said that the way I pronounced p and b made me sound lewd and that I had a lewd fixation. I tried to get her to explain how the pronunciation of p and b could mean so much, but she only made more outrageous claims. She has since accused me of being slapped by corrupt CIA agents in an FBI office, being on a high-level committee to assuage that and other abuse, and accused me and several other people she knows of incest and sleeping with people from TV news, etc.

Question: Should an only son stay near his parents? Within a couple hours drive at most.?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 10:18 PM PDT

I have a sister but she's not much help. I'm kind of getting guilt tripped into dropping my life and moving closer to home(a state over) where my mom and grandmother are. I don't want to. Is that wrong? I feel I'm only good for chores when I visit, but isn't that my duty though? I am a grown *** man haha! Took some time off this summer and went to visit. Things are falling apart everywhere. Weeds,paint,roof stuff like that. Also the age thing. Not afraid to be on my own, been gone for a long time, just thinking it may be time to be closer. But again, don't want to.

Question: I hate my mother, should I disown her?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 09:57 PM PDT

She is fat, has emotional issues, off the wall emotional nd acts like if I ask anything from her (like listen to me), I ask too much from her, she also has a fat cellulite *** and it makes me sick watching her walk. Also, my Dad accuses me of weird stuff like being a communist when I m actually quite a conservative and then my Mom gets upset like a stupid fat woman if she thinks I m being racist towards certain group of people. Now she and my Dad think I'm a monster. Should I just disown them?

Question: What should I do?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 09:46 PM PDT

So my parents have been separated for 7 years now. (not divorced just separated..its complicated) I had no other option but to live with my mom. Don't get me wrong I am very thankful that she raised me on her own for this long. Its my 19th birthday in a week and this year I really wanted to focus on getting toxic people out of my life. I want to learn to focus on myself and love myself. My mom and I have not gotten along ever since I could remember. Ive never heard her compliment me or tell me that she was proud of me. Ive never felt that she loved me. I know she was going through a lot but she made my sister and I feel like a burden.She complains everytime she has to buy us clothes or food. She drinks everynight and when we confront her about it she gets very defensive and angry. When she drinks its almost like she turns in to a different person..she gets very angry and starts yelling at us for no reason. This is something we have to deal with on a daily basis. I am tired of feeling sorry for myself. Every time I want to try something new she brings me down saying I'm stupid, fat, ugly, etc. Im majoring in biology at school and my dream was to become a doctor. She laughed in my face and continued to tell me how dumb I was and that I wouldn't make it into med school. Hearing that from my own mom is heart breaking.. Im really not sure what else to do.

Question: I think I did something wrong?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 09:10 PM PDT

Last night I was trying to see how big my leg was. I have been unhappy with my weight and I wanted to see how big I looked. I was wrapping my fingers around my leg to measure and I showed my mom. She got mad and said that I was doing the same thing a girl with an eating disorder in a movie did. I don't know what I should say to her. Should I apologise? Should I leave it be? I dont understand why she is worried. Is it not normal to measure how big you are? I just want to be as small as my hands put together in my thigh area. It's not really unhealthy.

Question: My parents are moving and I don t want to go with, what do I do?

Question: Should CPS separate siblings if they're being requested to or if they're better off that way?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 08:22 PM PDT

Kids do get taken away from home, and sometimes it's sibling abuse. If both of them are children (one abusing the other) and the parents may be abusive or endangered them enough to be taken away to foster care, should CPS separate the siblings? That way, the abuser cannot abuse their sibling and the abused child will not have to see their sibling. Maybe a child requested CPS to be separated from a sibling for whatever reasons as well.

Question: Are there any orphanages in Canada (or even the US)?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 08:19 PM PDT

If a child's parents have passed away, a parent gave birth but cannot support them, or CPS took them away will they end up in orphanages? Or will they instead be in foster care with temporary parents?

Question: My DAD watches porn :(?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 08:16 PM PDT

I was helping my dad change a setting on his phone and I had pulled up the keyboard and on the search bar I saw "PornHub" as one of the recent words. Im only 12 and I feel shocked and pretty mad. He has 3 kids and a wife so I just don't understand. I just want to know if this is normal for most men/dad's :( I don't know what to do or how to feel about this whole situation. Please help.

Question: How can i convince my dad to let me keep my phone in my room at night?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 08:15 PM PDT

I feel like its super unreasonable for him to refuse to let me have it in my room. he think i'll play on it all night. i told my dad that i need it as an alarm clock to wake up for school. he said that he could wake me up, but he isnt even a good "alarm clock" he literally just goes into my room and says WAKE UP then leaves and if i dont get up(which i normally dont) he doesnt come back until its like 5 minutes before i need to leave for school. i keep telling him this but he just doesnt care if im late. and hes super stubborn so it wont be easy to change his mind. is this normal or is it just my dad and can someone tell me what to do cause im desperate and school starts in a week.

They spent about 15 minutes tickling each other asking where there ticklish I heard them from outside the door even saying OMG your belly button is an outey but, I didn't go in or knock because I didn't want to be like my parents.

Question: Should I tell my parents that my sister is having premarital sex at the age if 17? Help me!!!?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 07:44 PM PDT

I live in a Muslim family, but we aren't extremely strict except we dress modestly and we are not allowed to have any boyfriends. My twin sister and I are 17, and she has been dating this jerk for two years and he really is a bad influence on her. My sister now lies to my parents that she's going to the mall with her friends but instead she goes to his house to have sex. She told me about this and has been scaring me by threatening me if I tell my parents and saying that she gets pregnant then shell get an abortion. Her friends are also pressuring me to keep the secret but I can't. I really cant. I can't stand her lying to my parents to go have sex with some slob who's one year older than her. I told her what she's doing is wrong and she seems to no longer have any morals. Please help me!!!! I feel so sick hiding this secret from my parents. They deserve to know the truth and my sister needs to know that her actions have consequences and Should not be tolerated!!! I don't know what to do, I don't want to betray my sister's trust but at the same time she's terrifying me with the crap she's been telling me and it breaks my heart to see my sister lie to my parents. I can't take it anymore!!! Should I tell my parents???? In our religion and our family values premarital sex especially at such a young age is forbidden and I don't want to ruin my sister's life. Helpme please!!! I can't take it anymore!!!!!

Question: Would it make you upset if you were telling something that literally happened to you and they called you dramatic?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 07:43 PM PDT

I told my brother about an incident I had with my Dad when I was younger, one I clearly remember, when he was going to drag me to a foster home because I had a bladder problem I couldn't control. My brother says he needs to hear the other side of the story and that he has "made himself believe things that didn't really happen before too". To me that is a clear indicator he doesn't believe me. He was 1 at the time and wasn't there. I had a bladder issue when I was young and I went to the bathroom in my room because I was scared of my Dad hearing the toilet flush in fear of getting yelled at by him for something that was out of my control. Him and my stepmom have a controlling nature and have to have everything their way. And everytime I am upset about it which is often, my brother tries to justify them. Never looks at my anger as justifiable from all the crap I have had to put up with from my Mom's long period of alcoholism all the way to her suicide, the divorce, my Dad and stepmom micromanaging everything they can find and putting their interests and conveniences above ours constantly, treating us low and completely without respect. And i'm not ok with any of it because I have paid and suffered many consequences for their wreckless decisions and I know that to be the truth! The fact that my brother won't believe me on something as important as that to me, it hurts a lot. People think I'm crazy. They think because my parents are saved and christian now, that I am saying that is crazy or far-fetched, they refuse to recognize other people's wrongs and tell me I am the problem for hanging on to that. I am mad because NO ONE EVER PAYS FOR ANYTHING THEY DO, EVER, THEY ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH IT AND WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT AND AM HURT AND UPSET AND LEFT BEHIND FOR THEIR CONVENIENCES, I AM IN THE WRONG. Does anyone else out there live in a similar situation to this? Please help me :( I'm 21, a very miserable man in this town

Question: His adult daughter moved in and now I want to leave, am I being unreasonable?

Posted: 13 Aug 2017 07:41 PM PDT

My partner and I have been together for 2 years, lived together for a year and a half. He recently convinced me to give up my reasonably priced apartment in a great neighborhood for a house that is a dump in a bad area. The house has been a nightmare, we are renting from a friend of his and literally everything is breaking right before our eyes. It is only 2 bedroom and I have a 12 year old son that lives with us full time. 2 weeks ago, my partner's 20 year old daughter showed up on our doorstep with her very large dog. The first few days were ok, she was very pleasant. He and his daughter didn't really have much of a relationship prior and he saw her maybe 3 times a year even though she only lived 15 miles away. Anyways, I clearly see she has some mental health issues, buys expensive items and has no intention of ever moving out, goes through my things, refuses to clean up after herself and if I enter the room she immediately leaves. I have entered a big state of depression and never leave my bedroom. I want to leave. He begs me not to. Should I give this time?
