Question: My dad won’t let me go?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 01:27 PM PDT

So I'm 15 and got nominated at school to go to EF Greece summer 2019. The whole trip cost $3,610, but the monthly payment is $176. I ask my dad if I could go and he said that he'll let me but I need to make all A's on my grades. So I've been studying my butt off to make A's. It's been kinda hard bc I have band practices and sometimes practices would end around 9 pm and I would stay up until 12 to study. My friends(who also got nominated) and I wanted to do a bake sale so we could fund for part of our trip. I ask my mom if I could go over to my friends house to discuss about the bake sale to fund for the Greece trip. My mom said that my dad decided not to let me go weeks ago and he didn't even tell me about it. Apparently he sent the info to my godfather bc he already has 2 daughters who's in college. My godfather said that it's just like a vacation and it's not important and it is also a waste of $. I tried discussing my mom and dad. I said that I'll pay the trip myself if they let me go. They then said that I don't even have a job and that they'll never hire me bc I'm too young. I told them that that's why I'm doing the bake sale. My friends and I were gonna sell bake goods, fund a school dance, and etc. I also told them that my one of friend offered me a babysitting job from one of the neighborhoods. They said that they're not letting me go do bake sale and babysitting. I said that they're not even letting me trying. How Can I convince them.

Question: What should I do about this situation?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 01:17 PM PDT

Okay this is a complicated situation for me and its hard to explain it all in this post, but I will try my best to give a quick overview of the situation at hand. Okay so I am really big on family and all but it seems as if every time I open up the doors, I am always the one getting used in the end. My mother hasn't been stable for a while now and i am not sure why, because she used to always be able to keep a place and a car, and now its like she doesn't want to do anything but live for free. She is able to work and take care of herself but she just doesn't want to and never really like working. (She does get income every month for my little sister $700 and something). I am a single mother of 3 and i managed to work hard and get everything that my kids and i need. It's still hard because i do everything by myself and when i used to need help, she was one of the one's who turned me down. But now i let her move in once again but temporarily so that she could get on her feet but its like now she isn't doing anything to help her self when given the opportunity. She just asked today could she use my car everyday, that i am still making payments on. How should i approach this situation? I don't want to seem mean or like i don't care but this isn't the first time that i have tried to be there and end up getting stuck in a worse situation. i.e. bills, food, gas, transportation.

Question: Worried about raising my daughter?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 01:07 PM PDT

For the past 2 years, I've been raising my 5 year old alone, single father, I'm 23. Just, most things I do I second guess, did she deserve that timeout? Should I let her stay up late? How am I going to answer questions about her mom going forward? She's a very happy kid, and for me, coming home every day to her is awesome because we're both excited, but still, I worry. Is there a way to get over this?

Question: Why is my mother trying to drive a wedge between my brother and I?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 10:19 AM PDT

My brother and I are both grown. He moved back in with my mother l act year. Ever since, she keeps trying to start fights between my brother and I. We know her games so we never fell for it, but our wives are a different story. Because of my mother our wives hate each other and they won't believe that it's all my mother manipulations. Why would she do this?

Question: My mum had an affair?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 09:18 AM PDT

I found out 3 nights ago that my mum was having an affair, my dad is gutted and I was really sad at first, but now I don't feel sad at all and I feel like I should. Why? Also, I don't think it has quite sunk in that she was with another guy (20 years older than her) for 10 months. How do I try and accept that this was real? Finally, how do I forgive my mum? I'm not really talking to her at the moment because I'm angry and she doesn't even seem that sorry or sad.

Question: Daughter and husband always fighting?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 08:37 AM PDT

I can't sleep at night because of the noise.I totally blame my daughter. I have told her if she does not stop screaming at night she is welcome to leave. My daughter said she is sorry about the fighting, But he antagonizes teases and insults her and he shouldn't be allowed to do that. She is a very emotional person and she needs to grow out of it.He is provoking her on purpose to help her channel her emotions in a more positive way.She is very upset with me for taking his side esp after she gave him 25 bucks. parents and authority should be respected no matter what . No questions asked. No matter how much of what they are doing bothers you. She thinks she deserves to respected too. I hate all this over display of emotion.Crying exploding hugging or being too enthusiastic is especially irritating.It is possible to always be happy and never be bothered by anything anyone does. It is impossible to function at work because of all the noise. My daughter says it is impossible for her to go to the bathroom get a snack or sit anywhere in the house without him targeting her.She gets very irate and she thinks I should do something about her behavior. he is really soft spoken I dunno where she gets it from.

Question: How do I make life a living hell for the people who move into my house?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 07:52 AM PDT

I'm a teenager and my parents are going to drag me across the country during the middle of the school year because my dad got a new job. I hate my parents so much right now, and I hate my brother for not being mad at them. Don't tell me to forgive them or anything because I won't. They chose to do this to me. Anyway, they are selling my childhood home (it went on the market today, they only told me my dad got a job offer a month ago) and it's a great house and we live in a beautiful town, so it will most likely sell very fast. I want whoever who moves into it to hate it. They don't deserve my home. I'm going to ask some people to egg my house once the new people move in, and I'm gonna join in when I visit. I know it sounds stupid,but I'm also gonna get my Ouija board out and ask spirits to haunt my house. It's worth a shot. If you're gonna scold me, don't bother answering this question, I just need ideas. I love my house, but I want the people who infest it after I move away to hate it.

Question: How can I express my mom about my marriage?

Question: Family Issues?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 07:25 AM PDT

Is it normal for a sis-in-law (my hubby's brother's wife) to tell our mother-in-law that the only reason I'm married to my husband is because she decided not to date him? She (in error) thinks that my hubby had a crush on her while she was dating his brother. In reality, hubby has always more or less hated her. She is not his type physically or personality-wise.

Question: Did I deserve all that was coming my way?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 06:55 AM PDT

I am a person who has missed on attending a metrosexual program that makes people metro and informs them of the latest hairstyles and dance moves, and now my own parents and siblings have been treating me differently Here are the things that have happened to me since missing out on it. 1 - My dad has become even more inclined at blaming, bossing and scolding me for everything around the home. 2 - My mum now refuses to cook on my birthdays and would instead just by a cheap cake and buy some already cooked meals. 3 - My eldest sibling has epitomized me as a manly man where other people now ridicule me for dressing in a certain way, getting a styled haircut, or even appearing at certain places at certain times. 4 - I got so frustrated with the treatment from all of them that I started resorting to defaming my name and character out in public with lies as a pedophile, all to witness (I feel less stressed after attacking myself)

Question: I am hated by my immediate family, they have gotten some of the extended family to hate me to, what do I do?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 05:00 AM PDT

My Mom is a narcissist. My Dad kisses her butt. My two siblings (brother and sister) are scared of my Mom so they praise her to win her glory. I made some mistakes as a teen, my Mom will not forgive me for them. I am 26 now and hated by her. She gets furious when I don't give her all she demands and all the attention and praise she needs. We have been estranged for 4 years now. She has gotten my grandmother to stop liking me though I think my grandfather still likes me. She has gotten one of my aunts and her kids to like me at a distance only though another aunt still likes me. The uncle everyone is distant from but I keep up with his kids. My Mom hates me because I cannot worship her and glorify her like my sister who is perfect or my brother who lives in fear of her and has Autism. Rather, I talked back as a kid and snuck out with friends once or twice. I also had a baby at 16 though the baby was given up for adoption. Ten years later my mother will not forgive any of it since I do not worship and glorify her. I am told in counseling this is classic narcissism on her part. If it was just my Mom that hated me then so be it but the whole family hates me. What do I do? I sometimes think of suicide but am not at risk right now of doing that. I have no one. I was even banned from my sister's wedding Labor Day weekend.

Question: My dad has gold diggers after him whom he claims are best friends, he is a married man. He denies giving them any $$. What do i do..?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 04:28 AM PDT

He met these people a few years back in a foreign country which is really his country of origin. This country of origin is a 3rd world country so any one coming from the USA or europe is automatically considered super rich. Anyhoo i now live in this country and he is visiting me. He has been seeing them everyday and i faught with him many times about how its wrong and they are after his $$ of which he barely has. I dont trust them. They have nothing better to do than to invite him over every day of his trip when hes really here to see hia daughter and spend time w his grand daughters. If my mom knew she would kill him and me. I think he is in love with one of the gold diggers. My gut feeling tells me something isnt right. He is obssessed. My mom knows about them from before and she thinks he stipped talking to them. What do i do in this situation im very incomfortable in. Also i cannot tell them anything because i dont know what they are capable of and they know all my info thanks to my airhead dad .

Question: Is it my fault? My dad yelled at me and hurt me so much because of my ******* brother?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 03:56 AM PDT

It all happened today. I'm getting so mad and disappointed right now. I'd never thought my dad would hurt me and yell at me because of my brother's stupid actions. My brother tried to block me to get some touch of the air conditioner and it was sooo hot because i was waiting for my dad for almost an hour, I didn't even complain but when he called me at 5 PM, telling me my brother had been waiting for me for such a long time ( i've been waiting for him for 2 hours in a hot area every day and i didn't blame him) so after going pick up my brother, we got in the car and definitely it was so hot. when my dad turned on the AC in the car. My brother tried to mess up with me like i've said. he blocked my way to get some touch of the AC. i was so mad because it was hot and you know right? i tried to pull him back to his seat but he resisted against me and i kept pulling him back and I accidentally slapped in his face. I insisted that I didn't do it on purpose but my dad didn't believe me and yelled at me and after i got back home. I tried to take food out of the refrigerator to eat and i got off it and i passed my brother and i tried to walk away from a little gap but I accidentally hit him. I didn't do it on purpose and my brother cried. he's 10 years old, he's always crying even though he doesn't get hurt at all. Is it wrong? Is it my fault? I don't want to do anything and i'm not gonna apologize my brother but he should

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 02:18 AM PDT

Things she does: > Goes through things in my room under the guise of "tidying" e.g. I found some things moved in my room and some pictures of me and my boyfriend put back in the wrong order - asked her about it - she said she was "tidying" > doesn't do any household chores when I'm not around so when I come back from staying at uni I have to do them all > gets suddenly sick or ill but only acts ill when I am around eg coughing/breathing heavily/ wheezing - refuses to go to doctor- I stayed at uni accom for a couple of days and she told me she pretty much almost died and couldn't breathe - made me feel guilty for staying at university > makes everything into a drama and big argument > hates my boyfriend - she has never met him- when I told her his name she stalked him online and found out where he lives/his age etc - I've cried because me and him have argued a couple of times and when I was on the phone to him she barged into my room making violent threats to him - very very humiliating > rings and asks constantly where I am and if I don't call her every day or text her makes me feel guilty - tells me she's ill or has a problem and I have to come home > doesn't like me going out with my boyfriend or with friends or staying at uni - resents that I have uni accom always trying to make me stay at home and commute > Jumps to crazy conclusions- said I don't like people in my class - she says it's my bf manipulating me into leaving uni What do I do?

Question: I get overly jealous and sad when a friend or family member gets married?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 01:26 AM PDT

Ive always been the third wheel to all of my friends and family members all my life. Im not attractive and you could call me the black sheep of the family. Im in my late 20s now and whenever a friend or family member gets engaged or has a child i get jealous and dont want to talk to them. Its an unbearable pain that i know ill never get anyone and im at that point in my life where it even disgusts me to see anyone happy.

Question: My mother spends all my child support money.?

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 12:53 AM PDT

So currently I'm trying to move out of my house at 16 with my mom's consent and live my friend. However my mom is really bad on meth. I've sat with a friend of hers that I trust and she told me all the things she'd do to get her next high. It's getting bad. But when I move out I'd need my child support card. No way my mom would give it to me. But she doesn't even spend the money on me. She spends it on drugs. I need clothes, ect. because my clothes don't even fit me. I only have one pair of pants and I've had it for almost a year now and only that. I just need to know if you guys have any options I could do? Thanks in advance.

Question: How do I politely tell my mom that I need some space?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 11:40 PM PDT

Don t get me wrong, I love my mother and cherish all the fun times that we spend together. But lately it s to the point that every time I casually mention going out somewhere (which is rare) she always invites herself along. She s slightly older but not elderly with no friends, older children live out of state. I also work 2 jobs and go to college, so I rarely have anytime free time for myself. I m an introvert too so sometimes I feel the need to recharge in solitude. How can I politely tell my mom that I need a little space and would like to go places on my own once in a while? I suggested different hobbies, volunteer work & spending time with other relatives for her but she isn t interested and seems dependent only on me. I feel guilty and afraid of hurting her feelings by telling her how I feel :/

Question: How mad does "the middle" make you?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 11:36 PM PDT

The eldest son is a lazy, ungrateful rude selfish jerk. The daughter is just so desperate, childish, dorky/nerdy and just stupid. The youngest is just plain weird and has social issues. None of them are attractive either. Then the parents: the dad just seems disconnected and doesn't really care about anything. And the mom just doesn't discipline well. The characters and actors annoy me. Anyone else agree?

Question: Guys Only! What Does This Mean Please?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 11:25 PM PDT

ex bf didn't want to get back together after we were fighting so much. Finally stopped contact for 2 months and I saw him at church for Sundays and kept glancing and me and we made eye contact a couple of times, where he looked down and looked back up. BUt he hasn't tried contacting me... the tables were turned and I was the one chasing him (it was always him the begininng) so idk if he thinks if i'm going to church then I want him and will contact him...

Question: Am I a bad parent for letting my 17 year old spend the night alone with her boyfriend?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 10:07 PM PDT

My 17 year old daughter has been dating the same guy for almost a year now, and I like him a lot. Up until a couple of months ago, I was the kind of dad who was COMPLETELY against letting my daughter spend the night with her boyfriend. I wouldn't even let my daughter close her bedroom door if her boyfriend was in there with her. I was pretty strict. Back in July, my daughter snuck out to spend the night at her boyfriend's house, and I found out about it. I obviously got mad at her and punished her for disobeying me, but then I realized...what's SO bad about her spending the night at her boyfriend's house? She's 17 years old (she'll be 18 in 4 months), she's been with her boyfriend for 11 months, and they're both smart, responsible kids. If they're going to have sex, they'll find a way to do it no matter what rules I set...unless I lock my daughter in a cage or something. I let them go on dates alone, and for all I know they could be lying about where they are or having sex in the car, so what's wrong with letting them spend the night together? I'm still not going to let her boyfriend stay at our house because I don't want them having sex under my roof, but my daughter's boyfriend's parents (who I like) are fine with them spending the night together at their house, so what's the problem? I'm not going to let her spend the night at his house often or on school nights, but every once in a while is fine, right? Am I a bad parent for changing my rules all of a sudden? I'm asking because my family's making me feel bad about this. My parents freaked out on me when they found out, and so did my daughter's maternal grandparents. (I'm a single dad and my daughter's mother is dead, so making this decision is up to me and me only.) I've talked to her about sex. She knows to use protection, and trust me...she's a paranoid control freak who's not going to let herself get pregnant

Question: Girls be dead honest?

Say you began talking to a guy. This guy then on social media began to flirt with other women and even uploaded pics of him with a 20k rolex and designer clothes such as burberry, Gucci, lv with the caption such as "the women love a men with class". He also drives a bmw m4 a 60k car. How would you feel jealous/insecure? or just be mad?

Question: How should I handle this situation?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 09:21 PM PDT

So here's my situation. I love my dad and all but sometimes it's just too much. Whenever I have a concern or need anything, he's always hesitant about doing it or complains about doing it. He bitches about everything that doesn't go his way and then tries to turn around and blame it on someone else (mostly me). It's like, he can never be satisfied unless he's the winner and the rest of us are losing. The thing that makes me really mad about all of this is that he treats my mom the same exact way, sometimes better and sometimes worse. He doesn't hit her or anything but the things that he can say can hurt. It's starting to get to the point where I hate him more than I love him. Like, it's getting to the point where I can't tell them that I love him because deep down I really don't feel like I do/can. I want to be able to address these concerns with him but he's one of those people who jump to conclusions really fast and acts before they think. I'm afraid that if I address these issues, things could get physically violent and I don't want that for me or my mom. My older brother is off to college so there's nothing that he can really do about it right now. PLEASE HELP!!! ANY ADVICE WILL DO!

Question: I HATE that my dad in inconsiderate?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 09:12 PM PDT

So my parents are very strict but mainly my dad. So when I had to talk to him and literally beg I was able to make money to buy my own phone. He has a phone with unlimited data and he buys me prepaid cards with 200 mb for 3 months and 200 texts. So I kindly asked him if he could afford to buy at least a gigabyte and more texts. Keep in mind my mom pays for his phone data and she didn't want to spend more money so my dad says "no I spend too much money" yet with all the extra money he gets after paying bills for our mobile home he spends on himself little small things. While our mom in considerate and works to feed and gets us what we need. He doesn't listen to me when I ask him nicely and says your making me angry. He always directs us to our mum to buy us stuff. I don't want to lose friends cause of not being able to call or text them. Also they don't let me hang out at all so this makes matters worse. I would play outside but it's boring as my parents don't take us anywhere and they don't trust me outside they're overprotective. I tell him if it wasn't for this phone I wouldn't be able to have any fun at all as it's true. He would be able to afford it but he just doesn't care about what i want. What do you guys think?

Question: Should I be mad at my cousin?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 08:48 PM PDT

Question: Parents won't let me ride my electric skateboard in the street?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 08:31 PM PDT

I recently bought a Boosted board which is a electric skateboard that goes 22mph but I don't ride that fast, I go like 15 and I have been riding it on the sidewalks which is not that great because the cracks in between the sidewalks makes the ride noisy and a little bit bumpy and plus I heard it's not good for the skateboard and I really want to take good care of it because it's really expensive. So how can I convince my parents to let me ride my skateboard in the street? When I say ride in the street I mean like riding in a residential area where cars don't go faster than 20mph.

Question: I want to move out for the first time in my life, have any helpful advice?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 08:08 PM PDT

Part of the reason is because Im old enough to move out so I want to. Another part is I don't want to become a victim from my parents of Gas Lighting. (If you don't know what that is, look it up)

Question: How can I find my younger brother?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:57 PM PDT

My lil brother was raised by our dad while I and my ***** of a sister was raised by our mom. I have not seen him in ever 30 years. not since he was a year old. (I think he was just a year old. I know he was still a baby) All I know about him is his first and last name, but not his middle name. I was told that he has not spoken to dad since he moved out when he was 18. I sure don't blame hm for that. I am pretty sure he is 42 years old, give or take a few years. Dad told me that he is a high rank military man in the Pentagon and that if I ever try to make contact with him, or even write him a letter, he would lose his clearance, and could even be arrested for having contact with a convicted felon, no matter how minor the conviction, but I do not believe that and want to get to know him. He is my lil brother.

Question: I feel like my mom hates me..?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:37 PM PDT

I'm 20 years old I still live with my mom since I'm in college. She came in my room yelling at my because she saw I have my boyfriends hoodie. She also noticed I have hickeys on my neck and started calling me a whore and said im a worthless piece of sh*t. She was talking about how she wished we lived in China so she could cut my hands off... now she wants to take away my phone that I bought. I don't understand why she always calls me names and acts this way towards me. She told me not to ever bring a guy into her house which I never have in the first place especially without asking her first. She's threatening to tell my grandpa and grandma about how much of a whore I am, why is she like this

Question: Should i or should i not tell my dad that i want to drop out and take my last year as an external candidate?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:30 PM PDT

Im tired of school. Its only full of drama and i cant focus and remember things enough. My famill is not supportive and they have never been, and basically no one trust each other. Should i or should i not tell them? What do you guys think?

Question: Need some advice?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:24 PM PDT

So my parents have been caught up in a divorce for 5 years, and for the last year I've decided to stay at my Dad's apartment. Sure, there's not enough space, its a lot smaller than the house, I can't really hang out with my friends there (yeah I guess its kind of mental too, not just that its small), but I am willing to make that trade off (unlike my sister, but she is 16 year old girl she needs her space I guess, 14 btw) because I really just find my mom to be mean, abusive, and honestly a little mentally unstable (she cries all the time and has random outburst) and uncomfortable. The divorce has really made her a lot more bitter. She doesn't want whats best for me and my siblings, she just wants to hurt my dad. There is sufficient information that would of been able to end the divorce in the first 3 months, but unfortunately the family court system is screwed. I have a younger sister I don't want it to keep effecting her like it has already. Now I've been to another therapist before, and my mom tried to tell him that my dad was abusive to his kids, he didn't believe her, so she accused him of being a pedophile and got to switch my therapist to someone who sides with her and is honestly incompetent (doesn't admit his faults and wrongs). Now there is a new court order saying I have to spend more time with my mom, which doing so makes me really uncomfortable. What can I do, in my case and in everything in general? Can I take any type of legal action? Testify? (idk the jargon)

Question: How can i not be jealous of my sister?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:12 PM PDT

my sister is always getting compliments from everyone mostly from my mom. My mom calls me the cute and funny one. But shell say it like shes so ashamed. When she calls my sister the beautiful and smart one she says it so proudly. She shows off how smart she is and how she gets so many awards and how dumb i am. Even when i do get good grades she says things like "i dont care". my sister always saying shes too beautiful and smart to be my sister and how im too ugly to be related to her. We hang out at school together sometimes and i can hear ppl comparing us in the background. One of her friends texted my sister and told her how beautiful she was and asked how did i come out so ugly. it hurted me so much because she always teases me and it seems like everything she is saying she is right.

My biological father left my mom when she was 4 months pregnant, 28 years later, I stumbled upon his wife's facebook page. I have never met him, I don't even know him. All I have is a picture of him from when he and my mom were dating. I have a father who adopted me when he married my mom and my dad's the world and I'm afraid of hurting him. I can't help but wonder do I try to make contact just to see if I get an answer or do I leave it all alone and forget about it? By the way, when I mean "my dad's my world" I meant the dad that adopted me 27 years ago.

Question: Is my half-brothers sister my sister to?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:03 PM PDT

People always asked me how many sibilings I have, I always said two because I do, my half brother and my full brother. Then I started thinking, my half brother has a sister too but we're not related by blood, is she considered my step-sister, and her mom and my dad aren't married either so we're not connected in any way. Step-sister or not anything at all?

So I'd say I'm pretty horny and I need my time to relax and forget about the stresses of High School for a bit but I don't really have anywhere to jerk off in peace.

Plus she did not reciprocate the love her parents did give her when she was a kid and they did not hate her yet.

Question: I am really hurt that my cousin did not ask me to a game he and his Dad had tickets for. How do I get over this hurt and disappointment?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:45 PM PDT

I am not mad, but I had the cousin to two games when he was in town last in April. I enjoy seeing him but he is staying with his mother who is a severe alcoholic and will not accept visitors. Thus I cannot visit him while he is in town. His Dad is seeing him for one evening while he is here and they have tickets to the Red Sox game tomorrow night. He asked my Dad, not me, and my Dad declined so he asked an uncle on his Mom's side of the family. I feel rejected and sad. I am NOT mad as he has other relatives but thought he'd think of me since I treated him to two games when he was here for a funeral last spring and stayed for a week. He is only here through Sunday and his Dad just passing through town so I am not going to be able to see him when my other cousins already got to. How do I get over this childish hurt I feel? I am an only child and my Mom died already (this is her side of the family) so extended family is a big deal to me.

Question: Should I tell my daughter what I did?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:45 PM PDT

I went to get in my car to go to the airport and the battery was dead. I called the auto club and they could not get there for 2 hours. I would have missed my plane if I had to wait for them. I was really in a panic as I had to catch this flight for an important meeting. I started calling people in my phone book for help and nobody was available to help me. In desperation I called the last name in my phone book, my daughter's ex husband Joe. He immediately came over and got me to the airport on time to catch my plane. I was very grateful but he would not take any money for his help. He told me he would meet me on the return trip and take me home. My plane was late coming home and they did not serve any food on the plane so I really needed to eat something. On the way home I told Joe I had missed a meal so he took me to a high end restaurant for the best steak I ever had. When I got home, he had replaced the battery in my car. He would not take any money for that either. My problem is that if I tell my daughter what Joe did for me, taking me out to eat, she might think that it was a date with Joe and that would be wrong for me to do that (or would it). Joe was just being a friend. Should I not tell her what happened or would it cause her a problem if I did. Advice please

Question: My mom wants me to buy the electricity bill?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:15 PM PDT

I'm 19 yr old, college student and my mom wants me to pay her electricity bill. Can she do this? I don't understand why?. First she forced me to pay the cable bill however I don't even watch TV anymore because it's basic package. 1. She hasn't made me pay rent. 2. She said because "I'm working" I do live at home though.

Question: I moved out but had an offer to house sit, but I declined because of a toxic parent and bad memories but I feel guilty and regret it help?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:13 PM PDT

So basicly I moved out last year and been on my own. My mom and I dont get along and shexwas physically and emotionally abusive to me my whole life and very controlling and hated me for being like my dad. She keep clinging onto me on the phone w drama from her place asking for help yet she never helped me get my life going unless it was on her terms. Even then she would pull the plug on me literally and raise hell threaten me hit me, scream at me, destroy my stuff ect. Yet when I moved out she came up with all these promises and gift offers if I came back to house sit. I fekt like it was a trick or a trap. I feel so guilty right now? Why? Its not as easy living away from home but I have freedom to be an adukt and make my own daily choices . if I had house sat I could have had internet, some extra money and a place to myself in the city. Here I moved far away and do not have internet yet and am broke but get by. I also have my own life here and horrible memories from my mom. Even nightmares. I chose not to go but partly regret it. Why? The place I live is a mess with messy roomates and a fixer upper house unfinished repairs but livable. My moms house was nice and clean. But honestly I hate my mom. Shes a bad mom and drove me away with unpredictable drama. Lastly I am maybe not being patient here or?

Question: Help!! How do I act around this girl in my class??!?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:04 PM PDT

No, I'm not a boy going crazy over a girl. I'm a girl myself, and there's this girl in my class and she's supposed to be my partner for a project tomorrow. I don't know how to act towards her because she scares me. We're both in highschool. I don't know why she scares me. Here's what she looks like: Dirty blonde hair, black pants, black hoodie, a black shirt that have these people wearing crazy masks and the shirt says "Slipknot," , a nose piercing, and black shoes. I've been afraid of her since the first day of school. She's just got that intense feeling when I see her. She doesn't talk to anyone. She only talks when someone talks to her. And then at lunch she sits with these other people who wear all black like her. And then like 2 weeks ago I think someone was harassing her, and I saw her yell at him and then she tackled him. I'm not sure what I should do tomorrow because what if I do something wrong and she gets mad at me? She only gets mad when people make her mad. Other than that, she just looks emotionless.

Question: Do I let my oldest brother attend my mothers funeral, or do I tell him to stay away?

Posted: 28 Sep 2017 03:51 PM PDT

I am 20, and my mother recently passed away due to cancer. It was no surprise and I am coping rather well with it so far. Her funeral is next wednesday. I little back-story is necessary to understand my situation. I am the youngest of 4 children, however the only child of my dad. My 3 siblings have a different father and they are all also a lot older than me(19, 14 and 10 years older). My oldest brother, whom is also the oldest of the group, I have never met. Long before I was born, he broke off contact with my mother for a reason I don't know. I was told by everyone that it was not my story. And I am fine with that. My other siblings have been in contact with both me and my mom and my oldest brother. My mother wished for a close funeral with only her closest family. So I was quite shocked when my siblings told me that my oldest brother was coming. It will be the first time I meet him and honestly I'm not sure I want him to be there. I was the closest with my mother, as my siblings didn't have a good relationship with her either. I know it's his mother too. But he has had no contact with her for 25 years and he has honestly caused her (and I) quite a lot of pain (not being allowed to be at my sisters wedding or birthdays, due to him being there). Any suggestions guys? I am quite at loss.
