Family: Question: How to fix the relationship with my mom?

Question: How to fix the relationship with my mom?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 01:50 PM PDT

We've never gotten along even when I was really little we always got in really big fights. She has a very short temper and will sink down to your level or lower. she's just really immature with arguments and will say things to hurt you like I wish you were never born or **** you. I think it would be best to only see her on weekends like if she moved out or something but I wouldn't wanna do that to my dad. I also hate the way she treats my dad. And trust me talking to her isn't an option. I've tried several times and every time she says now isn't the time and leaves... when I told her she never lets me talk to her about it she said no I dont and basically made herself believe her own lie and she does that a lot. She also overreacts to a lot of things and takes things way too personally but will go out of her way to prove she doesn't care. She has some serious issues she needs to work out but refuses to admit it. Spending more time with her also isn't an option since she's always working.. idk what to do guys

Question: Why does my mom get mad at me when I cry?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 01:31 PM PDT

Ever since I was young my mother has always got frustrated with me crying. I suffer from depression for a long time sometimes it comes for long periods or leaves. Ever since I was young after being molested my look on life always beeen negative. Sometimes I cry about what I been through a lot and I get angry at many things that changed my look on life so I cry to just cope with things. If I been through something very traumatic all I know how to react is to expressed my emotions and cry. I know better to stop going to my mother about any type of sadness because she makes me feel guilty and weak. She uses her experiences as way to say she had it harder you can't cry when I try to explain to her I'm hurting she gets angry and yells at me. I'm 18 now and recently I was faced with something traumatic with my mother and siblings. My siblings don't completely understand about what happen so it didn't affect them on a emotional way. My mother was crying and I try to confront her emotionally she pushed me away when i try to be there for her so I was crying and suffering on my own while my mother just pushed me away when I try to be there for her. I try not to take it personally but even before the traumatic experience she always pushed me away even if I needed her the most or she needed someone. She'll run to her abusive boyfriend for support instead and leave me behind. I'm still so upset about what happened all I do is cry and get paranoid. Does my mother hate me? Should I justkms?

Question: My granddaughter wants to know about her deceased father. What should I tell her?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 12:53 PM PDT

In 1988 I was married with a woman who had a 2 yo son. We divorced after 11 months of marriage when she left for another man leaving her child with me. I legally adopted him and he became my son. In 1989 I married another woman (whom I'm still married with) and it all was good from then. We had another child in 1990 and we made no difference between them.They were our children. In 2004 when my eldest son was 18 he decided to enlist in the Marine Corps and he decided to make contact with the woman he had hated so much during high school for leaving him as a child.She was happily married at the time with another man and treated my son badly or that's what he said when he got home that evening. I still see his face when he realized his natural mother didn't want him. My son was killed in action in Iraq in may 2005 at age 19. His fiance was pregnant at the time. In Jan 2006 my grauddaughter was born. Now at 11 she wants to know about her father.Who he was,what he did why he's not here anymore.She asked me to take her to Arlington where he was buried. When she asked me why her daddy's gone I tell her that he was brave and he went to fight for our country and he's a hero but honestly I don't know how to answer her.I opposed to the war my son was killed in. I personally tell her that he was a jokester,a friend,a brother a good son and a very patriotic man but the honest answer to why he's gone is difficult to find

Question: Do u think it’s reasonable to visit home to san antonio from a&m at college station every weekend?

Question: I think my mom s emotionally abusive?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 12:34 PM PDT

About three - five years ago my parents were divorced and I started living with my dad while my mom moved to Pennsylvania. Since I ve only recently turned thirteen this has been my first year I ve gone without visiting her and I think it s been my best summer in a long time, apart from when my mom was being tough with my dad when I was trying to go to Ireland with him. When I ve visited my mom I d get really anxious and she commonly guilts me on emails and texts, in person too when I visited her. She d always be really late when picking me up at the airport and it always frustrates me when she acts like she s the victim. Sometimes she d send my older sister over to me when I d get angry with her and it makes me feel worse. Sometimes she can be really nice and sweet but I feel like we always get into an argument. I don t know what to do and if I should stop visiting her as a whole.

Question: What does it mean when my dad calls me a "Little Sh*t"?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 11:53 AM PDT

I have mild autism and when my dad gets mad at me he tells me to shut up and calls me a "Little Sh*t" even when I'm not saying or doing anything to him. Like if I say anything to him today he is a smartass about it. I'm not gonna talk to him and just ignore him. His birthday is coming up and I feel like I don't want to buy him anything cos he is such a jerk to me. He is also like that with my mom and he will tell her to shut up and call her a idiot. I'm 24 and he wanted me to move in with him so I did. I am thinking to move out like when I'm 30 or something. I'm not sure yet. I'm not used to being by myself and I don't know who I could have as a roommate because I can't live by myself cos I won't be able to afford it because I have too many bills and not only that I just don't have the income. I'm a female. Serious answers please!

Question: Why are some people forced to grow up faster than others?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 11:29 AM PDT

Question: When to kick out your daughter or force them to make the tough choice themselves?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 10:33 AM PDT

My wife and I have four kids, our oldest is 20 but she acts like a 15 yr old juvenile delinquent...No job, no college, no car/driving, no chores or responsibilities in life. Sleeps all day and parties all night. Lately she has come home twice now all beatin up and my wife has taken her to ER, she tells a story and never calls the police. She had an abusive boyfriend that she claims she doesn't see anymore. She is close to finishing a five week program at the local hospital for substance abuse but she is not finishing strong at all, who knows if she even will, she continues to keep in her circle all her garbage *** friends off the streets who stop by all hours of the night that she stays in contact with her cell. I guess that's the only two things she really has, is a bedroom with a door and her cell that somehow she pays herself, my wife wants to kick her out and I want my wife to give her choices that result in said consequence. I've been wanting that for a year now, suggestions please for all of us, we love her very much, but she's affecting everyone in the household :(

I recently, accidentally, created an eternal winter in my home town. I don't know how to fix it, and it's literally ruining the lives of my people. I have currently abdicated the throne because of my colossal screw up, but I kinda think I should go back. Honestly I am not sure if it's work the effort to fix it, or if I should just let it go. Thanks for you help!

Question: How to comfort my sister when she's sad?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 07:44 AM PDT

Question: My mom is an alcoholic..?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 07:42 AM PDT

Ever since we moved to Las Vegas my mom has been consuming alcohol more and more. When she does get drunk, she gets very aggressive (verbally). I've tried to help her when she is drunk but it always goes downhill. She's told me to go to hell and that she hates me. Yesterday she called me a ***** and told me to go live with someone else. I've had to call crisis line 3 times in less than a month cause i'm so scared and lost. I don't know what to do, she goes to AA meetings but continues to drink. She never changes. I just want to keep my distance from her. And for some reason i'm getting sick more often (mostly migraines) and I have extremely dark circles under my eyes even though i do get pretty good sleep. What should I do?

Question: I refuse to deal with my Son's dad if he continues to deal w/ his family What should I do?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 06:12 AM PDT

I am 21 years old. My son is 1. At first his family was all good and nice to me. My son's Dad, mom even transported me to work. Then everything switched about a YR later. My son's Dad & his Mom went half on a car together but it was in his name. (BAD DECISION). Every time I needed to go anywhere. The Mom or siblings or both would always tag alone. Everywhere, and when they weren't, they would blow up His phone just to go to the store when he WAS trying spend time with his son and I . When we argued about it. The Mom would say that she makes the payments! Turns out my son's dad was receiving disability every month so infact, it was His money that covered the payments. They are pure evil. It just gets worse and worse by the year. I think I am completely done with his family. I was so dumb to ever deal with them over and over. I rather not speak or anything to them. They gossip to other people and when I am mad I lash out at them and tell them a piece of my mind ! I kinda hate them. I sometimes don't even want to deal with my son's fAther because of them. I feel like he is no better. He even let his brother call me a "*****" one day. I live in a subsidized apartment and I was letting my son's Dad live with me which is against the rules. I stopped though because I have a feeling that his family would out of evil, report that, and have me kicked out . Now he is mad with me. I told him if he cut off all ties with his family then we could probably work things out

Question: Mother gets son 3 weekends a month? Should it be changed?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 05:54 AM PDT

Just wanting opinions on this. The mother moved 2 hours a way from the father. So the schedule is Friday 7 p.m. - Sunday 7 p.m. She gets him 3 weekends a month. However if there is 5 weekends a month the father gets 2 weekends instead of 1. she lives to far for her to have any time during the week cause of school. Should it be changed to every other weekend? Has 3 weekend visitation ever worked for anyone? Thanks

Question: Should I ignore the father of my son?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 05:44 AM PDT

Hello! I am wondering if I should ignore my son s father. My son s father has not seen him since he was a couple of days old and he is now 5 months old. This man has made no effort to drive to come see his son at all, no he expects for me to drive to him. I have offered to meet him half way and nothing but he keeps texting me to ask how we are doing. He ll text to see how we are but doesn t bother to come see him and he does not help financially, I have already had him served with child support papers but I will not hold my breath. I have not responded to any of his texts. Am I wrong? I have told him he can come see his son whenever he wants just give me a few days notice or we can meet half way. I have responded to him yesterday with the following: We both know you could careless how we are and you have absolutely no desire to be a father to my son, so, why bother texting me to ask how we are? I'm done with your games and I am no longer going to ask you to be a father to my son, as long as he is happy, healthy, and know that he has me and that he is loved that's all that matter. So, please, just leave me alone. Until the day comes when you decide to grow up and be a father to my son (and it may never come) I will be here but until then move on with your manipulating games. Thank you. When you're ready to be a father to my son in every aspect I will be here with open arms willing to embrace you and co-parent with you but until that day comes (only you can decide that day) the best thing right now for my son and I is to move on because as much as you might not realize it you're a very toxic individual. You can always reach out to me when you are truly ready.

Question: My little sister always blame me?

Question: Should I ask to keep something of my Grandfathers?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 05:08 AM PDT

My grandfather just passed at the beginning of the week. He was such a huge part of my life and I am going to miss him so much. He had three boys and each of them had two children so I know a lot of the family will probably want something personal to remember him by. My grandmother is still alive but has mild Alzheimer's so I don't know if they are going to keep things around the house so that she doesn't get confused. They were together for 73 years. Is it ok to ask my dad and uncles if I could have one of his watches? Something I could actually wear from time to time (no pun intended)? A few years ago he randomly called me up and asked if I wanted his mothers car (mid 60's Ford that he had sitting in storage) that he was holding on to, because he knew how much I liked it. My other cousins had asked multiple times for it over the years but he chose to let me have it. It hasn't ran in 20+ years but I would still go out and clean and wash it off. He also gifted my wife and I some land before he passed so that we may build our first home, since he knew we were looking to stay in the area. I don't want to seem greedy and I am very thankful for the things he did and gave to me but I just feel like the watch would be more sentimental, knowing that he had it on and looked down at the time over the years. Thoughts?

Question: What to do when you don't have a family :/?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 04:55 AM PDT

I have parents. I have an elder sister and I have a grandmom. But no one really cares. My dad never cares. I can't speak to him. I hate my mother. My mom's very childish. They are barbaric. My home is a mess. My mom doesn't wash the vessels. She doesn't know how to cook. She has so many affairs. My sister hates me cause I'm gay and poor grandmother has dementia and doesn't remember who I am. So yeah, I have a family but still don't. I am girly and I feel I don't belong. Also give me tips on how I can keep my home clean and get rid off the filth.

Question: Should I ever get to know my future step-parents?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 04:20 AM PDT

My mother recently went through a mid-life crisis and practically became somebody else for a a ******* month. Now that the dust has cleared, it's been confirmed that she has filed for divorce. Assuming that she remarries, which she likely will, should I ever get to know my essential stepdad? She was a responsible woman for 20 years and then woke up and broke up her family. I've had one father in my life and I'm loyal to him. With this new guy, it's been going on for roughly 4 months now and he hasn't bothered to meet my dad. Frankly, after seeing my dad bust his *** his entire life and be the best husband he could, I see no excuse for divorce and told my mom that I thought it was a bad decision. Siblings said "they just want her happy", but frankly, happiness is a fuccing choice, just like her divorce. A side of me thinks that as long as I'm sure the guy is treating her well, to not make any effort to get to know him much. I'm not dating him or any other future guys, I didn't support divorce, and now our family's split up because his wife was "too stressed out." I love my mother. Do I, though, have an obligation to meet any of these guys of hers? He's not my dad (no meme/vine jokes please) regardless of what the law says. He's a boyfriend and possible husband to my mother. Should I get to know him on a personal level? Or get to know my legal step-siblings?

Question: I'm 30 years old and I still live at home?

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 12:09 AM PDT

I know a lot of people have moved out by that age although a few of my friends still live at home as well. My parents are over protective and they have been ever since I was kid because I'm the only child. I like to travel yet they tell me I'm crazy for wanting to travel alone. And they always have to know every detail about where I am going and who I am with. I want to get my own place but I don't want to move until I know I can afford to financially. I'm thinking about taking a year long program for Massage Therapy and then move out afterwards. Should I wait until another year to move out?

Question: I easily get stressed today what am I gonna do?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 11:39 PM PDT

I'm really stressed this early days every time I remember that my mother always scolding me I just get mad on my self and on my little sister I want to go and run away cause I just don't know what to do that time so please help me !

Question: Am I even her favourite child?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 11:39 PM PDT

My sister never doesn't anything right, she doesn't clean right and guess who my mom comes to me do fix it up me? It's like my doesn't wanna ask her to do it properly, or tell her anything because she's used me doing everything. She's always telling me how I never listen, and how I do nothing for her and how my sister does everything for her. I say nothing and leave it to that. Until it happens again. I would like to rest one day, where I don't have to be woken up and told to clean and do something while my sister doesn't nothing, because my mom thinks she tired or she's needs more sleep. So I'm confused about who's the favourite? Is it something who a mother asks to do everything, who a mother comes to when she wants something? Or something who a mother doesn't bother with anything, and compares you to them.

Question: How to know if your the favourited child?

Question: How to you are your mothers favourite?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 11:18 PM PDT

Question: Am I even my mothers favourite?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 11:18 PM PDT

So let me start of by saying I know I'm not the favourite but I just need to know what you guys think of this. So the oldies in the girls, even know I have two older brothers, but my mother counts on me to do everything. I have a sister who is a year behind me I'm 18 and she's 17. She gets to do nothing, and everytime I talk to my mother about it she just says she's young, she doesn't know anything. She started teaching me everything when I was 15, what's different with her? And also my sister gets treated as Satan, she never does anything wrong, but me on the other hand I do everything wrong. It doesn't bother me that she's the favourite, what bothers me is that I have to do everything everything, in the house while everything gets to do nothing but sit around and play games. And I'm only 18. My mother makes me feel so different, and so needed that she doesn't bother asking my sister to do half of the things I do. And when I do things for my mother, after a month she says I don't do anything for her. But when my sister does it, she tells it to me like she never forgets it. My mother doesn't even take my college seriously, because my sister is in her last year of school, she tells me to do her part of the clean, or go get the kids. Like Mom I'm in college, I do exams too, what hers are more important even mine? It's like she doesn't even notice I'm her daughter until she wants something from me. I don't even think she loves me.

Question: Why do some people think that every child is pure and innocent?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 11:14 PM PDT

Some individuals don't believe that children would intentionally hurt someone physically and emotionally. They also assume that no child between 8-11 years old would know how to be violent. These behaviors are NOT uncommon to find in children between those ages, especially online: bullying, killing small animals, and insulting someone with racist/sexist/homophobic comments. A lot of people who torment others online are children themselves. I wouldn't assume that a 15 year old wouldn't be sneaking into a frat party that contains alcohol, or that a 7 year old wouldn't know how to kill a small animal with a stick. Why do people have this fantasy that children are completely innocent - would never harm anything, know nothing about having sex, and don't even think about discrimination or being sexist towards a gender?

Question: My brother is always trying to tell me what to do!?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 10:28 PM PDT

My brother is always trying to tell me what to do and trying to control me. Like, if I'm at home just watching TV or texting my friends, he'll tell me to stop, and do my homework instead. And he's always trying to control when I come home. I drive myself to and from school, so I don't always come home right after school, and he'll constantly text me, asking where I am, saying that I should be home by now, and when I do get home, he tries to lecture me on the "rules," that I'm supposed to come home right after school, which is stupid! I usually just ignore him, but it causes so many fights. He claims that he's allowed to tell me what to do, since I'm 16 and he's 25, and he's technically my legal guardian since our parents died, but I know that my parents wouldn't have wanted him to be this bossy or controlling. When they were alive, they'd always tell him to back off when he started telling me what to do, and they weren't very strict with me at all. My brother is so different and I can't stand him! What should I do?

Question: Am i over reacting or do I have the right to feel this way?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 10:05 PM PDT

I'm mad cause my step mom gets to see her kids every so often normally for holidays ( both of her kids are adults and live a few hours away) and I haven't seen my biological mom, older brother, old friends and cousins in over a year? My mom is broke so she can't help pay for me to visit. They live over 24 hours away. They don't really answer my messages or anything often it seems. They're probably busy, I don't know. Is it normal to feel this way? Am i over reacting?

Question: My mom says im ugly and fat?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 09:18 PM PDT

My mom and dad divorced and i live with my dad.I see her once a week and whenever she sees me, she always says "You've gotten fatter, you should try eat less," and when she was with her friend she was talking about how i was so cute when i was younger but i somehow grew up to be this," My mom probably didnt mean to hurt me but those words made insecure about myself and hate myself... What do i do? Is this normal?

Question: Is it wrong to be angry at my dad?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 09:10 PM PDT

My dad is really nice. He takes good care of me and my brother and does everything a father should do. But sometimes, he gets angry. Its not just a simple shout but he swears, tries to throw things at me (but never actually does) and its all because hes getting too stressed raising us all by himself as my mom left us a few years ago. Because of this, i tried to understand him when he gets angry for no reason but sometimes, i want to complain to him too and tell him how hard its for me as well and cry but would it be wrong to do that? Since hes already struggling, would that just make him more stressed and worried?

Question: I and my twin brother fight a lot and have ego problems.we both are in our family business.My dad is also partial towards him. Wat shld i do?

I enjoy my work but am not able to work because of my brother.we have a silent compitition between us.my father says it is his business and he will not separate it ? I get proveked by my brother and father. What should i do?

Question: Is there a correlation between someone that was adopted (closed adoption) and that same person leaving their own children later in life?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 08:49 PM PDT

My father was adopted, and until recently had zero information on where he was from (some law changed in the State of Illinois that opened up closed adoption records in 2011) fast-forward a few years later and finding out his biological mother wanted no contact, (he found out he had 6 half-siblings 3 on each parents side) he straight up left my mom after 27 years of marriage, hasn t spoken to my sister or I since he moved across the country, got together with his old girlfiend from the 80 s, got engaged, could be married? I spent 18 years in the same household as that man and he was SO predictable, everything he did was routine. I never imagined in a milion years he would one day get up- move 2,000 miles away, financially burden my family in this wake...the weird thing is he takes no responsibility for what he s done to his children..he always says he "just got a divorce, move on" but less than 3 weeks after their dirvorce was finalized he was living in Arizona with some woman we never met.....this isn t the man I thought raised me. Either I was duped by the biggest sociopath con-artist ever- or he s mentally ill.

Question: Why do so many parents give kids unsupervised online access!?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 08:43 PM PDT

Most parents would NEVER allow their kids to be alone with a sex offender, serial killer or even the schoolyard bully who wants to beat up others. But letting them have unsupervised online use is similar in a way. They can be in the same "room" as the person who committed several murders! It's just that they're behind screens but still communicating with YOUR child. In my opinion, parents shouldn't be overprotective but they should still know what their child is up to. You don't need to read every message they text, but just know that nothing dangerous is happening and what they are basically talking about online. A lot of the children who committed suicide or were victims of sexual predators have unmonitored devices.

Question: I don't understand.. my brother hates me and it kills me to know this? Please help!?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 08:40 PM PDT

I'm fourteen. My older brother is sixteen, and I'm starting to think he hates me. He's always rude and impatient with me. Sometimes, he's nice to me, but that only lasts for a second before he runs cold again. He's not even like that with the rest of my family. He's super kind with my mother, father, and little brother and is nicer to my little brother than he is with me (in the sense that the two can LAUGH together). I used to be so close with him. We used to make up these funny raps all the time and we would make this cute little 'news' videos that we would show to our parents. We would protect each other. We would confide with each other our secrets and even tell each other our student passwords. I don't know what happened! I don't know why he's changed. I want to try to befriend him again but I can only do that if I know the reasoning behind his attitude. I've asked him why he was so mean to me yesterday and his answer was 'I don't know. You're just going to have to deal with it.' I want to go back to the way things were before. I just want us to be close again. I want us to be brother and sister again. He was my best friend! Now he treats me as if I'm his worst enemy.

Question: I think my family hates me...?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 08:32 PM PDT

when i was young my mom use to abuse me and only me, she never abused any of my nine other siblings, and she always blames me and singles me out for everything, even now, she doesn't abuse me anymore because now im stronger then her, but now she punishes me with a LOAD of groundings from everything, and she doesn't do that to my other siblings, so im very sure she hates just me, as for my siblings, they only talk to me when they need something, like help with their electronics or something, and my sister, i use to think she was my best friend, but im realizing she only talks to me for help with something or if she wants to ranp about something or tell me about her day, today i gave my opinion on something and all my siblings got mad at me, almost like i wasn't suppose to have a opinion, do they hate me?? or what...

Question: Why is my little brother so obsessed with being muscular and taller ?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 08:14 PM PDT

Hear me, im 20 years old and my little brother is 14 years old and 6', he's taller than me and is much more lean than many people. Now when I say muscular I mean ******* bodybuilding muscular is his aim. Despite this he wants to be more "beef" and be larger. He's not unhealthy, he has no intention to go to the army, he doesn't want to impress girls. I simply do not understand why. Though I have a feeling that he's just a stupid basic teenager who is easily influenced by societal pressure. he holds this bias and dislike to people who aren't "fit" or "tall". I'm not encouraging obesity but that is a disturbing behavior. If any discussion happens, he will find a way to put height and working out and muscles in the ******* discussion. He never shuts the **** up for one second of his new "gainz" or the oh-so inspirational "beef" people he saw on YouTube. It's getting REALLY ******* annoying. He researches **** like "whst animals make you taller, tallest celebrities, how to be muscular fast" He idolizes Arnold Schwarzenegger and aspires to be as sexy as him. For all I know he's probably masturbating to the idea of having sex with the Rock. I wouldn't be surprised if je had a fetish for tall muscular people Whenever he speaks to my mom or dad, he brags about how fit he dreams to be and what new **** he discovered about muscularness and height. I'm not saying he shouldn't workout. I'm just sick and tired of him talking and obsessing about it every ******* minute.

Question: How to beat a home alarm system put in by your parents to sneak out?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 07:42 PM PDT

Question for your everyday minorly depressed teenager. I am pretty popular at my high school but I have the crazy type of parents. They hate when I go to parties or go hang with friends at late hours of the night. To deal with this me and my brothers used to sneak out of our house at night and go wherever we wanted to be. Then when my parents caught us for about the fifth time, they decided they needed to put in an alarm system. I've been very good at "beating the system" all throughout high school, but this system seems unbeatable. Ive tested every window and door in my house, and they're all connected to this alarm system. All I want to do is be able to enjoy high school and my childhood for the time I have left of it. Please if you have any ideas or suggestion to solve this I would really appreciate it.

Question: How long will he be in jail?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 07:02 PM PDT

My cousin got into a fight with my step grandpa. Well, not much of a fight. They argued and my disrespectful cousin punched my grandma's bf and knocked him out. He is 17 and has been with my grandma since he was 9 because his dad was in jail and his mom didn't want him so my grandma took him in. Anyway, he punched my grandma's bf in the eye and knocked him out and ran to school where the police picked him up. They sent him to a jail/bootcamp kinda deal. He has trial tomorrow for all of it. How much time is he looking at? I'm afraid he might try to hurt my grandma and her bf once he gets out.

Question: Unsupportive, negative family members. What to do?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 06:50 PM PDT

My parents are divorced and I live in fl with my dad. His two sisters live near where we live so does his brother. They like to have a lot of parties, lots of drinking, and gossiping especially among the females such as, my dads two sisters and his niece. I don't like to be around them and my dad doesn't understand why even when I say I don't like their behaviors. He says that family is important and I shouldn't isolate myself. There were some incidents in the past where my aunt and older cousin said that I'm not smart enough to be a nurse and it's really hard etc. this happened after I told them I was thinking about nursing as a college major when they asked me if I chose something yet. Specific, my cousin because she was in a nursing program but then wasn't in it anymore and she never told anyone what happened. How can I deal with these people. They are not friends in which I could get away from they are family. The negative family members that don't want you to be better than them. I'm in university by the way and I'm a girl. My mom lives out of state so whenever I go to grad school I think I'll move closer to her. A couple of times my dads family even talked about my mom right in front of me when some family issues occurred in 2013. So now they don't speak to my mom at all. I know they probably talk about me and my parents behind our backs. This is something I try to not think about and just live but they live around here and I see them sometimes. My dads brother wife spread rumors about my mom and said she's a slut

Question: Are there rules for how much work/chores a foster kid can do.?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 06:40 PM PDT

My cousin Alex (Not my first cousin...my dad and his mom were 1st cousins) was in foster care for about 9 years after my grandmother had a stroke. He said the second home he was, the mother made him do all the housework after school while she watched Judge Judy. My grandmother would get him once a month and take him out to eat and then to see his grandmother at the nursing home. So he told her and my grandmother got all up in his caseworkers face and he was out of there in a few weeks. He then went to live with the foster parents he stayed with until he got out of High School. He said in that house he has to do some chores to maintain privileges like keep his room clean and help with the dishes and he got to do extra chores like clean the bathroom or take leaves for his allowance. So I was wondering if there are rules because it sounded like that one lady just took him in for a free maid.

Question: PARENTS MAKE ME DEPRESSED?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 06:25 PM PDT

Hello! My name is Sarah. For years these times have been FRICKING horrible. Today my father yelled at me for dropping eggs. He was yelling at my sister and it made me stumble and drop them. He teased me all night and day. I have been ripping my hair out of stress and my parents think I'm just doing it because I'm "sleepy". I literally want to scream and stab myself. My parents are the cause of this. Help

Question: How do I have a better life?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 06:15 PM PDT

I ask this because I always think about whether or not my parents give a crap about me. I have a dad who supposedly is taking care of us as part of his "good" reputation as a father although he treats us like total trash at home. He yells at me, my siblings and my mother all the time. Nothing physical, just a lot of heat. This is a daily thing in this household. My mom isn't any better either. I get the impression she doesn't care about me and whenever I see her showing "affection", it seems so fake and phony (like she's trying to cover something up). She never spends time with us. Whenever she comes to my dad's house (where I live), she barely spends time with us and she's on her phone playing games the whole time. I also hate this generation in terms of the mainstream music, fashion, hairstyles, social media, etc. I'm 16 and I always play old school video games for NES, Sega Genesis, etc. I always strive to not dress modern because I think today's fashion is ridiculously stupid. From the tight ripped jeans, Adidas cloud, flannel shirt tied around the waist, oversized denim to man buns, selfies, emojis, snapchat, instagram, finstagrams, snapchat filters, new technology, new reality shows, trap hop, etc. I also hate what this world has become, our president, the whole north korea bullcrap, just this damn generation in general. I would die in order to get a time machine and travel out of the horrid world we inhabit now. I really hate it.

Question: My mom won't let me spend my money?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 06:00 PM PDT

I'm just really frustrated. My mom won't let me spend money on things I NEED for school, even though I'm 18 and it's my money. I have enough money to get a new laptop, which I'm in desperate need of. I'm also trying to save up for a bike so I don't have to walk 2 miles to the bus stop every day, and I won't have to worry about what would happen if the buses didn't come for whatever reason. My mom keeps telling me that I don't need these things. It's my money though, why is she allowed to tell me what I can't do with it? I've tried talking to her but she won't listen, apparently I'm to stupid to handle money.

Question: Is it appropriate for parents to make jokes about getting drunk and having sex in front of a 12 year old and a 6 year old?

Posted: 30 Aug 2017 05:57 PM PDT

I know of two parents who do say these things in front of their tween daughter and 6 year old son. They also watch 18+ movies when those children are in the exact same room as them. Not sure if they watch them as well, but they probably see a thing or two in those movies. In my opinion, it doesn't sound very appropriate judging by their ages. These kids aren't very mature either. They also discuss sensitive topics in front of their children.

Question: My mom left us a few years ago but my 6 year old brother keeps saying he wants to see her. what do i tell him?
