Family: Question: My dad physically and verbally abusive to me, should I call the cops on him? I'm scared?

Question: My dad physically and verbally abusive to me, should I call the cops on him? I'm scared?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 02:08 PM PDT

Should I call the cops on my dad? What would happen with me and my little sister? My dad has been very abusive lately by telling me to go kill myself and go drink a bunch of pills and that nobody will ever love me. He smacks and punches me to the point where I have bruises. I want to call the cops on him but I am afraid that CPS will get involved and take me and my little sister away and I do not want to get her involved and dealing with foster care. So if I were to call the cop told my dad what I be able to stay with my mom? I have pictures of all the times he has hit me and bruises and when he even beat my dog and made her eye bulge out of her eye socket. I just don't want to deal with CPS or foster care I just want to be able to stay with my mom. Mom tells him to stop hitting us but he doesn't. I don't want my mom in any trouble with cps. They are both immigrants that's why I'm scared to get help.

Question: Can i actually get in trouble?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 12:58 PM PDT

so me and mother have been having problems with this woman, she used to be my brothers wife they had a kid my brother came up and told us ever since he was a small baby she would cuss and her own baby just cause he did ****, and when he turned 2 she left him with my mother for months at a time and demand child support $ when the toddler got the flu she told my brother its not my responsibility so my mother took care of him so on she disrepected my mother and called her names and made us take care of the kid for days and her only 1 day she would talk about her own son like she was ashamed of him , my mom was so kind to her give her a warm place to stay because my brother liked her and she was homeless, but anyway she would make up really mean lies about my mother and call her early in the morning to harrass her and tell my mother you dont know anything about babies you hurt my son what did you do to his eyes, my mother is now 56 has 3 kids and we all love her she worked so hard to make us happy never abandon us.. but the way she treated my mother was really bad she told my brother i have a mental illness i dont want to hurt my son who was only 2, i watched my mother take care of the child when he had the flu and she loved him so much she got herself sick too, however i have much pictures and videos of her and the child for morning to afternoon and night to when he went to bed, she calls screaming at my mother i always had my son and tells her a bunch of insults.. more ---->

Question: My brother is twelve years old and he's constantly hogging the tv.?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 12:21 PM PDT

If I ever want to watch a show of my own, I'm forced to find it somewhere on my phone while he watches his cartoons or plays video games. When I ask him if I can use the tv, he always finds some excuse like, I'm busy here. I've tried asking my parents about it, but they always take his side, saying he's the angel and somehow I've done something wrong. How do I approach this further?

Question: How many dad-like qualities does a person need before labeling them a "Dad"?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 11:13 AM PDT

I ask because recently my girlfriend has started calling me "Daddy", and I wasn't aware that I fit the term. Should I correct her, because I don't want to misrepresent an entire demographic? Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen P.S. Is the band Styx still cool?

Question: Why does he want to match tattoos ?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 11:12 AM PDT

So I'm really good friends with this guy, we're very close,. I was telling him how I was looking for tattoo places as I wanna get one, and tune sout he wanted to get one too! We both love pineapples! So without telling him I was going to get a pineapple tattoo, a little one.. and Like I said I hadn't told him. I asked him to send a picture of the tattooo he wanted and it was a pineapple tattoo as well! He asked to go get our tattoo together so we could be matching. Guys I'm just wondering but would that be weird? Why does he want to match? FYI, we wanted to get pine apples because he loves pineapples and for me it symbolizes the greatest summer I've ever had with my family and for the fun friendship I have with him

Question: My mum treats my brother much better than me and always compliments him but never me?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 09:59 AM PDT

Please can I get some ideas on what to tell her

Question: I've come to terms that I will never be a future parent. What now?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 09:28 AM PDT

It's obvious through my previous posts that I favor sons over daughters and I don't value daughters at all despite being a woman. I don't really know why but I see people with sons as much more fortunate and top choice over those with daughters. I feel like daughters are just a consolation prize for others until if and when they have sons. Then they mean something. I just feel that sons are better than daughters and I'm not gonna be one of those unfortunate parents with an all-girl family. Daughters who have sons are VERY blessed, though and are much better and more blessed than their parents ever were.

Question: Is this normal?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 09:09 AM PDT

My bro is 15, and I've always cooed over him being his big sis by 3 yrs, but now he won't talk to me because he's always on his phone. I'm a bit of a mum-ish sis because our parents are often busy. He just grunts and tells me to go away. Is he depressed or does he just hate me? Thanks x

Question: I don't feel like I deserve to be loved?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 08:30 AM PDT

My family are religious (mostly my mum) and the religion is Islam and we're Turkish. You see I was born and raised in England so of course I have a different point of view about life and choice making. But my issue is I ended up losing my virginity at 19 with the wrong person and obviously sex before marriage is a major sin, ever since that day I regret it and I feel major guilt because my parents trusted me so much to never do anything like that till marriage, and I can't tell them this because I am scared to. When ever my mum makes me food or washes my clothes, basically giving me the love as mother would I simply don't feel like I deserve it, since she knows I'm a shy but gentle person, she even preys for me and my siblings for a great life and so when ever she goes to bed and my dad he knows I'm a cleaver girl who wouldn't put myself at risk but obviously I lost my virginity and I feel like I have disappointed him for it. Ideally my parents wants me to date/marry guys my own race but I ain't interested plus I don't think they would want a non virgin either. Overall I can't forgive myself and I can't accept the love and care from my family without feeling the guilt, obviously I adore my parents and I'm really greatful with the life they have givin me but I just don't feel like I deserve it for what I did. I would really appreciate if I could get some life advice or find a way to forgive myself or even a legit answer at least.

Question: My aunt is cold around us as her husband, my mom's brother, and she are having problems. Why does this make her cold to us?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 08:25 AM PDT

Why would she be cold to us when it's her and her husband that have the problems? Might she relate us to him? We all agreed that he can be really mean to her. Her two daughters get cold to us also when she is. Her son however is perfectly nice to us.

Question: My sister is a mean spirited and cruel person yet I couldn't help but to be worried when I heard she crashed her car. Why is that?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 08:22 AM PDT

Why would I be worried about her when she is such a mean spirited and cruel person? You think I'd be glad she was hurt and possibly paralyzed but instead I was worried and glad to hear this morning that she will recover. It does not mean I like this disgusting person but why would I be worried about her?

Question: How do I resolve a unfair family situation and have a peaceful conversation and have them listen?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 08:15 AM PDT

I posted about my family situation many times. But its getting out of hand and i'm sick of my sister. She's making everyone at home miserable and should be in jail for the stuff she did. She has been starting fights with me and everyone. My mom and dad take her abuse and don't do anything about it, even in the past when she got violent towards them and fractured my mom's hand and she grabbed a knife and threatened everyone with it, they still didn't do anything. Like call the cops when they should. My parents are enabling her. Today and several other incidents, she would verbally assault me, start fights out of no where, like cuss me out for no reason and literally walk away even when I didn't say or do anything to her, my mom would see what happened and then yell at me if i say anything back to my sister even when my sister started it. When i say anything back my parents literally sided with my sister and said stuff like 'if you don't like it then you can leave'. I'm the younger sister. My mom would not tell my sister that she was wrong but my mom would side with her and then my whole family stars to gang up on me. How do I deal with this? I expect for my parents to at the very least take action against her, especially in a dangerous situation. what if she stabs somebody and gets away with it because my parents are enablers? She last crashed her car into a parked vehicle and lied and said someone else hit her car. this is completely wrong. They even tried to stop me from calling 911 and lied about what happened when i did call before. I get yelled at when my sister is wrong and blamed for stuff my sister started. Please READ the whole question and description before you answer. Gary B and anonymous, that doesn't answer my question.

Question: I told my dad I knew my mom cheated on him what do I do?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 06:33 AM PDT

Basically my mom was seeing a guy for like 2 years.Didnt know their was something going on.My mom was sneaking around talking to him while my dad paired all the bills.He was getting my siblings and I stuff.My mom started to party/drink more(she was seeing him that's why).One night I saw a pic of my kissing the dude and I was shocked and couldn't stop thinking about it.Later my dad found out,my mom gets home and all hell breaks loose.My dad usually locked himself up and cry in his room after he found out.He started to check my phone.I told my mom what he was doing she told me not to tell I knew the guy.My dad moved out my mom started acting really rude to me and treating me like ****.I always got in trouble and that made me feel like I was in the wrong.One day I go to my dad's house and tell him and he was surprised but responded calm.However he told me not to tell my mom cause he can tell my mom doesn't trust me just by the way she acts around me.But I kinda feel guilty.My mom and dad are back on speaking terms and are working stuff out but my mom still acts like an *** toward me.What do I do?

Question: My dad gives me nothing?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 06:04 AM PDT

I'm a fifteen year old girl. I dont have a mom and I live with my dad and his girlfriend. My dad and I don't have such a good relationship, he never hugs me or says anything nice, I often try to win his approval but he always just says such as that I'm not good enough.. Despite it being pretty frustrating I believe I can live with it. However, my dad never gives me any money or anything, he haven't given me anything but food for the past 3 months, I've had the same clothes for years, I barley have any stuff, and he dosen't care if I'd wanna go to the salon or cinema. I can't work, I'm busy with school and there's rarely any job for my age.. As a teenage girl this is very hard, cause I need many things, not just food but hygienic things, warm out wear, decent shoes, etc. My dads ecomnoy isin't too bad, he just doesn't wanna "waste" money on me. He smokes all the time and often parties, just like his girlfriend.. I don't know what too do, I really need money but he dosen't wanna support me with anything but what i need to stay alive.. Is this abuse, or normal? Is there any way I can convince him to care about me?

Question: I liked living with my parents better than living alone. How do I get past this? I am afraid that I'll never be happy.?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 05:49 AM PDT

Hi, I m 20 years old and I just transferred from the local 2-year juco in my small town to a state college four and a half hours away. I lived at home with my twin sister and brother, but my twin moved out two years ago. After a rough couple of years, this last year has been great for me and my parents. Our relationship has improved dramatically, (my father and I are very close) and I was beginning to worry that I would miss them almost too much. After moving in to an on-campus apartment one week ago, I proved myself right. I hate it here. It is only me, and I hate it. I have never been more alone in my entire life. My parents cried when they left, and I cried the entire first night and day I was here. I wished I was dead because I was, and still am, afraid that I will never be as happy as I was while living with my family. This fear is one that I am truly afraid of. What if I have to live the rest of my life alone? I am asexual and don t intend to marry any time soon also... Jeez. Is this what moving out feels like for everyone? I know this feeling will pass, but the loneliness? I am afraid it will linger and seep into my bones forever. Everyone I know says it will pass, and sometimes it takes months to get used to. I am not so sure. But I do know that I want that to be true. I had such a great time getting to know my parents as real adults this year. I must get to know myself as well and become an independent adult. It just... makes my heart literally hurt. Advice?

Question: Omg I just overheard my parents having sex and now I'm horrified what do I do?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 03:23 AM PDT

We're currently on vacation and we're staying at my uncles house at the moment, and since there aren't enough bedrooms for everybody me and my parents are sleeping in the living room. My parents sleep right next to me on they're mattress and I sleep in my mattress. My uncle and his wife are currently at work when this happened, so, today I woke up because they were having a really loud conversation and I tried going back to sleep until they started having sex talk. I felt really uncomfortable because I've never heard my parents say those stuff to each other, minutes after they were having sex! I could hear my mom moan and the sounds they were making, I was HORRIFIED. Because first of all they knew that I was right next to them so how disrespectful is that?! And second my parents don't exactly have an active sex life because even though they are married they live separetly and when they are together they are always fighting in front of me so this was honestly very unexpected. And while they were at it I could legit hear them saying omg we haven't done this for years since our daughter was born! Like seriously??! I mean I'm happy that they are getting along like a couple since they always fight but did they seriously had to do it right next to me?? Especially when I could've woken up at any time and seen them?? This time I was awake and acted like I was asleep but still omg I can't get it out of my mind because I heard it so vividly...Has anyone been in this situation before??

Question: What is my brothers logic?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 02:43 AM PDT

My brother is 27. I'm 17 and he literally treats me like I'm a baby, meanwhile he's dating a 19 year old, just two years older. I really don't get his ******* logic and it's pissing me off

Question: How to get an in law that smokes out of my house?!?!?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 02:38 AM PDT

My fiancé lost his job last year due to low oil $ a week before our first born was due forcing us to temporarily relocate from CA to ND for work. We made arrangements to relocate back to CA 9 months of being away. His dad had mentioned he was unhappy with his living arrangements at a senior living facility, so my fiancé extended an invitation for him to move into our spare bedroom; seeing it as an opportunity for some financial relief & to help his dad out. Everything spirals from there. My son (1) was recently diagnosed with asthma. His dad is 64, in a wheelchair, diabetic, smokes & is as stubborn as they come! No, he does not smoke in the house directly but he smokes like a train out in the attached garage with the garage door shut literally 2 feet away from my child s bedroom door. Yes, he does pay for ulitilies & food BUT does not respect me as my role whatsoever. He invites over his grandchildren on a daily basis, nor him or their lovely parents think to ask me if I m fine with 5+ kids running around. He sits outside & smokes leaving me to watch over the kids. He doesn t clean up after himself or his "daycare" so I m left cleaning every other day to wake up to kids again. My fiancé has found a job. He doesn t see the chaos I m surrounded by nor hear what his father says to me when I ask him to not have children over constantly. I ve asked him to talk to his dad to see what his game plan is. I feel nasty living with him & I m loosing my mind! HELP???

Question: Feel like crying?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 02:20 AM PDT

I have always been the least talkative person in my family. I just like listening to people. I have never felt close to anyone in my extended family. Whenever I had birthdays or graduations no one really celebrates them. Even when there is a party I feel like I am not even there. No one even tries to talk to me. The only people that do that to me is my extended family. My friends don t do that, my neighbors don t do that, my coworkers, and my parents don t either. I grew up around my extended family around I just don t know why feeling like im not there hurts so bad. Is it selfish of me to want to be acknowledge sometimes? Is something wrong with me?

Question: I feel like I'm too fat?

Posted: 21 Aug 2017 01:00 AM PDT

I'm 14, 5'3 and 110 lbs and I feel like I'm too fat. IDK I've had this concern for a long time. I used to be 100 lbs but when I saw that I gained 10 lbs, I honestly freaked out and a few days ago, me and my brother were fighting over chips (I wasn't sharing it with him) and he was like "Just so you know, your physique isn't even slim. Fatty." I haven't even properly since that day which was three days ago and I feel like I'm fat. Like the girls at my school have flat stomachs and skinny arms (like the part above the elbow) and mine isn't that skinny and I don't have a flat stomach. I feel as though I'm too fat. I mean what does my brother know about how it's like to feel that way...he's that popular guy at school...but I feel like I'm fat

Question: My parents forcing me to play football even though I want to focus on baseball..?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 11:20 PM PDT

So I'm going into my senior year of high school.. my gra des are great, I have lots of friends, and just recently got a job. There's just one problem in my life at the moment... my mom is FORCING ME TO PLAY FOOTBALL. I've played football since I was 7 years old, my mother had been my main support and loves to watch me play, although I've always had a bad habit of stopping myself from trying new things since I'm just used to doing what I've done all my life. That has become the situation with football... ever since high school started I've thought to myself: man I don't really like doing this anymore, but I can't stop at this point. Although FINALLY I broke the cycle. I started playing baseball and fell in love with it. I can't think of a bad thing about it actually! I FINALLY thought I had broke free of the chains of football and found a new passion. Except my mom won't let me "quit". She thinks I'm making a huge mistake, I frankly thinks she's being selfish. I only have one more year of high school and I want to make the most of it, do things I've never done before because I was too scared to. But in her mind he'll will freeze over before I stop playing football. If I play football I will lose my job, Not play baseball, and lose 13 precious weeks of my senior year. Whenever I try to tell her I don't wanna play she threatenes me with making me quit my job or not allowing me to play baseball, etc.. I feel helpless, like I'm a slave to football! Please help! What should I do!

Question: I feel like I would be better off dead. I don t want to live anymore.?

Question: I feel uncomfortable around my dad's friend?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 09:29 PM PDT

My father has a friend and they have been together all their lives, this friend divorced have wife and has mental illness. He lives in the workhouse on my dads business property, and he works along with helping around the house if needed. A month or so ago he and my mom went through my entire room while I was at band camp. That's when I first felt a little uncomfortable. I was laying on the couch a couple of weeks ago and he comes in the house and kisses me on the forehead and was just staring at me while he stroked my head. I know I should have done something but I froze up. I told my mother about it and she said she will keep an eye out, and I have since gotten slightly more comfortable around him, but tonight he came over for dinner and while l was telling a story about my cat to him he tried to sneak a picture of me, but I heard the camera shutter on his phone. I feel like I can't say anything because he is too mentally ill to work and if my dad kicks him out he is going to live on the streets. And he and my mom and me are flying to see a concert and I don't want his creepyness to ruin a concert I've been waiting to see for years. I'm always uncomfortable alone with him and I feel like here is always staring at me. What should I do?

Question: My mom saw a file she wasn't supposed to see. Any ways to prevent this from happening again?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 09:20 PM PDT

Okay, this isn't porn or anything. My mom didn't want to use her office laptop to sign my sister up for something. So I gave her my laptop. She finished that and began snooping through the files on my desktop. She found a really weird song parody with tons of curse words and stuff. I am currently using what I call a batch vault(hidden password protected folders coded in batch) so that this doesn't happen again. She borrows my laptop a lot so what do I do?

Question: Am I overreacting to my brothers drinking?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 09:17 PM PDT

My brother and my family have always enjoyed a scotch and to go out and have a night out from time to time, however, recently my brothers behaviour has changed and Its shocking/concerning. recently, I became engaged to a great guy who happens to make a lot of money for his age, and my brother ENDLESSLY investigated him when it was and is apparent he is who claims to be (he's a known reporter in the area) . Also, my brother became very angry when he learned my fiancee did not "ask his permission" to marry me. They have talked twice and my brother has violently attacked him on BOTH occasions, the second being escalated to higher degree then first. all of these times (and pretty much every time I see him) he is 5-6 drinks deep and is ridiculously irrational. Tonight i told my parents as the latest attack last night involved choking which really scared me. I told them I believe this is because my brother is abusing alcohol but im scared im overreacting or blaming it on the alcohol- am I justified in being concerned? I dont understand this behaviour

Question: What can I do ?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 08:26 PM PDT

Mind ya I pay 734 for living with her

Question: Living alone as teen?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 08:20 PM PDT

Okay so my dad is in the hospital and my mom hasn't been around. My brother and I (17 and 16) have been living at home together this summer. We both have summer jobs so we work most of the time and come home to sleep and such. We don't have many family members in town that can take us in, but there are some outside of town, however, we want to stay in the same school since right now we practically live next door so it is convienent. But, school is starting in a few days and our family is afraid we will not be allowed to continue living alone. Is there any rules about that? My dad is only in the hospital temporary but we don't know how long and my mom lives with her boyfriend but isn't around since he lives in another town. My aunt stops by for weekly visits and the bills all get paid by my dads money or theirs, so the only problem would be that we don't have a guardian.. I live in PA, is this against any law or can we continue to live like this until my dad is back?

Question: I love my mum but hate my dad hes a horrible person who belittles everyone around him..?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 06:29 PM PDT

Ok so since i was young ive never gotten along with my dad, he's a control freak who likes to take center stage. im now 29 with my own opinions & thoughts but whenever i talk to my mum & sister about something he always butts into my conversations & always says im wrong & does his best to make me look & feel bad. i go counselling now coz its gotten to the point i now suffer from anxiety/depression. He also tries to make my mum look stupid most of the time by belittling her as he's always on his computer so when she asks him something he talks to her like shes his kid, he does it to me & my sister too. I cant take much more of it. most of the time i stay in my room as living with him is like living with jackel & hyde.. he thinks the worlds gonna end coz youtube has fills his head with so much bs. he also loves watching about police brutality in america & i think he's a racist but wont admit it coz my mums mixed-raced. hes very negative about everything around him. i cant stand him & i dont think i ever will to be honest. i wish he was the type of father who was compassionate & kind hearted but hes a cold hearted know it all with nothing going for him. he has no friends & his family dont even check to see how he's doing coz the way he makes everyone feel. What should i do about this situation coz i cant cope with it anymore.? I would love to get my own place but i cant l coz moving out coz i live in central london & the rent is sky high which i couldn't afford Now!!

Question: My sister doesn't care about my feelings? Am i overreacting?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 06:17 PM PDT

Question: Should my brother be grounded during holidays?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 05:47 PM PDT

Me,my older sister,my older brother and my father are having holidays in Italy. We arrived at 10th August and we are going to stay untill 30th August,Italy is really cool,and has a lot of fun,my older brother Carlos (16 years old) got in trouble and he cant enjoy our holidays. My dad had asked Carlos no to post his pictures(my dad's) to his fb account, because my dad is kinda fat and he dont wants to upload pictures and shits like this. My brother posted a pic of my dad though and wrote "Dad I think that you have to work out a bit. Oh and stop eating so much" as a qoute. My dad saw it later that evening and he got really upset and angry with Carlos. Carlos said it was just a joke and told my dad to chill out a bit and that made my dad angrier when finally he grounded Carlos. My dad took away Carlo's phone and laptop, he deleted Carlo's fb account. Carlos is not allowed to leave the hotel room and he has to wrire essays about how bad bullying and shits like this all the time. Carlos is going to be grounded till my dad say its over. That means that he is going stay grounded while we are having fun. That makes me feel bad for him,because he is super bored and he has nothing to do because of his punishment. I kinda think that my dad was kinda overracting to all this, first of all he could have ground my brother when we were back home(Spain)from holidays and second of all it was just a joke, my dad shouldnt have taken this way. Am I right?

Question: My family think I need to grow up and quit acting like a little kid.?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 05:43 PM PDT

I'm currently a senior, and whenever I talk at home, they say I need to grow up and stop being stupid. Little do they know, that the only reason I'm acting like that is because, they are all short temper, and anything I say with my opinions, they get ticked. So, whenever they argue with me, I ignore them, and they get mad. I would act silly, so I can control myself, and they think grades is all that matter. To be honest, I can get all A's if I want, it is just, I feel like school is kinda dumb, because I'm much ahead. Not trying to be conceit, but really, if I really want to learn, I just focus and I pretty much catch on. I can act serious and talk seriously if I want, but like I said, they will be like, "oh look, you think you are so smart huh? Quit trying to act cocky and thinking you are all that." That is why I don't bring out the serious/smart side of me, because things like that, they get mad/jealous. They always claim, "I got to this University," so I am smarter and you need to listen to me. Like dude, I can get in a University, if I want to, I just don't care about it, because I know I will finish college. I mean, my doctor degree, which I'm not going to tell them, because they are doubting me.

My son enjoys calling his wife fatty- she did put on a lot of weight since having the baby and it ain't coming off, so Now I call her fatso and I kind of get a kick out of it. will this help her lose the weight she so desperately needs?

Question: Why does everybody think of me in a negative way?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 04:48 PM PDT

I noticed that i am always brought down and doubted. When some of my relatives see me, they say make fun of my weight and my face. Not just my relatives but my classmates. I don't think of anyone in a bad way but I am always thought of in a negative way by everyone else.

Question: My mom stresses me out so bad it makes me want to off myself. How do i deal with this?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 04:21 PM PDT

I'm 16, i live with her and my brother. My brothers usually at a random chicks house though. I have a job, i go to the gym daily, i always cook dinner to watch what i eat, and i clean the entire house daily, it's kind of like a minor ocd i have. I haven't slept in 3 days because i was working on school, just started, it's online. However, my mom woke me today by screaming at me that i didn't do dishes. So i got up to finish them and she ended up telling me to get the **** out of the kitchen. She's sick of doing "everything" for us. All she does is once in a while do dishes, and work. She works less than me! My gpa pays for all the bills, her gas, her phone, pet food, etc. She has nothing she HAS to pay for for us to survive. We get ebt. I've been drinking since i was 11. I've smoked pot since i was 10. I still get everything done, i'm still safe and i still have a good body. She called me a fat *** yesterday, she is 260 pounds, same height. I am 101. She says she's always tired, but all she usually does is lay in bed all day and then at night go to the bar. She got her *** grabbed last night a few times, giggled about it, and then cried to my brother that he wasn't there to stop them. I don't know what she wants me to do. I'm a recovered anorexic, bulimic, cutter, working with my schizo anxiety and depression, but this is stressing me out. She's ao negative. I try to talk to her about it but she just stares at her phone and ignores me. No other family, they all hate me.

Question: Any advice on how to deal with a controlling irrational mother ?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 04:17 PM PDT

To some of you this may sound like the right "punishment" but here goes, a little backstory. I'm 16, I've never done drugs, smoke, partied, hung out with friends, had a boyfriend, did anything illegal. All I've ever done in my life was go to school, and do after school if she'd let me. My mom is irrational. She was born in the 1970s when things were more limited back then but anyways, school's never been my thing and I've gone to summer school for the past 2 years in a row. I didn't go this year and got a job. This is going to be my senior year, I'm not taking any difficult classes and I've dropped math and science, but I bombed my SAT so I have to retake them again. I want to keep my job but she insists I have to quit. I've never done anything wrong and my job is only 3 days a week but during school only weekends and she's not letting me work sundays for no logical reason other than "you can't work in school" I understand how this sounds but I REALLY need this job. It's not like a hard job, all I do is sell food at BJ's ...and I've never been like a smart person or anything but regardless idk if me quitting my job would even benefit my grades

Question: My uncle and aunt are abusing me, can i be sent to live back with my parents?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:02 PM PDT

A few days ago, i was sent to utah to live with my uncle and aunt until i am 18. I am currently now 16, but since the days i have been here, i have been abused and hit by my uncle and aunt and also have been forced and threatened to do chores around the house. My parents back in new jersey are perfectly stable and raising my younger sister. So, if i talk to my guidance counselor in school about this situation, is it possible i can be sent back to New Jersey to live with my parents? Will my uncle and aunt face the consequences? Will my real parents face the consequences of sending me to my uncle and aunt?

Question: Should I take this child in?

Ok, so I have a very dysfunctional family. I'm in college and don't have any kids. My nephew stays with my Mom Thing is she lost her place and stays at the hotel with her husband. I live with my Dad. I provide for my nephew financially. But I'm in my last semester at college and can't afford daycare and some days we have to be at school as early as 5am and late as 7pm. I hate to see this child live in this situation being that school is starting soon. What should I do?

Question: 16 and pregnant & the father is my ex boyfriend's best friend?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 02:55 PM PDT

my ex found out his best friend and I were sleeping together. They stopped talking to each other after that, but i remained friends with both of them. My ex and I are trying to get back together so It's still his business and it's definitely his best friends business. I need help figuring out a way to tell both of them with as little damage done as possible. I understand that this might completely ruin my relationship with my ex but would anyone forgive their best friend? I still have hope that the two will rekindle their friendship. btw I don't expect anything from the baby's father. This is kinda just letting him know in case he wishes to be in the baby's life

Question: Seen MY FATHER CRY!!!! I feel heartbroken...?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 02:10 PM PDT

My dad doesn't speak English very well and these white dudes started talking crap to him and they were very angry at my dad because my dad accidentally hit their motorcycle ... my dad started crying because i guess he got freaked out when the guys started talking crap and seemed angry... Ever since I witnessed that I just am so heartbroken and sad... i guess cause I never seen my dad like this... also can someone make me feel better into thinking that is normal for him to cry... I just have a different persepctive of him now and it makes me feel sad. Or can someone tell me a situation where their father cried? So i will feel like this is normal

Question: How am I supposed to respond to my brother on this issue?

Posted: 20 Aug 2017 01:58 PM PDT

I have never gotten along with my older brother. Right now, we're in the middle of a family crisis, because my dad just died, and my mother has dementia. We're considering where we can move so we can get her in a better environment. I have three cats, whom I've had for 10 1/2 years. I love them all. My brother obviously doesn't. He messaged me on Facebook, suggesting that my cats might have given my mom some sort of mind-controlling parasite that's going around. He asked me if that could be the root of my mom's mental issues. I doubt it! I change their litter box all the time, and have close contact with them constantly, but I'm not suffering from any mental issues. How am I supposed to respond to that?
