Question: My mom put me in diapers for a punishment?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 01:51 PM PDT

I am 12 years old and have a really bad speech impairment. I pronounce "R" and sometimes "L" as the "W" sound and sometimes "TH" as the "F" sound. Like with I pronounce as wif of really I pronounce as weawy etc. My mom thinks that I do it on purpose, to get attention or something. So, last week she threw away all my underwear and forcefully put my in a diaper. She said that I was acting like a baby so I should be treated like one. She makes my wear the diaper to school and at home. It's so embarrassing. How can a conscience my mom that I have a speech impairment and that I'm not wanting attention

Question: How old is too old to be living at home?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 12:34 PM PDT

I am 27 years old, working 3 jobs, and about to start my masters. The day after my birthday I opened a savings account to start saving to move out. My anxiety and depression have been getting worse and I think I can attribute it to living at home. My parents aren't kicking me out and I do have responsibilities (i.e. - groceries, water bill) so it's not a free ride. I see people I graduated with moving out, starting families, etc and I am not there yet. What is wrong with me?

I'm a young girl who s parents got divorced years ago when I was...5? I don t know, somewhere around there. Anyways, my step-sister came out to me as transgender (she wants to be a guy), but my religious ***** of a stepmom doesn t agree with him, so she s taking away his internet so he can t talk with his long-distance boyfriend, won t let him mail anything to him for his birthday, won t let him talk to his biological sister, etc. My dad doesn t agree because he thinks that he s saying that for attention (which he s not).

Question: I feel like my mom is holding me back?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 11:29 AM PDT

I am a 17 year old girl. Ever since I was about 15, I've had responsibilities set on me. I keep track of bills, have to take money that I was saving for an important project to buy groceries, we live in messed up conditions, etc. I just hate my life! I really want to get away and just run. I aspire to be something in the computer world, because dealing with computers is my skill. As soon as I get enough money to stand on my own and live in better conditions, I am RUNNING. I love my mom, but she holds me back. Maybe one day I'll come back, but I'm going to leave for a WHILE. I just need a break.

Question: Why is my dad such an asshole?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 11:01 AM PDT

So a little bit about me: I'm the middle child. I'm 18 years old, studying biomedical engineering in a pretty good school. I have never caused any problems, no drugs, alcohol, guys, etc. I'm semi-smart, i finished my associates degree during my junior year in high school. I have a pretty face, but i am a bit overweight. Last time i saw my dad, i hadn't seen him in over a year. He was an asshole telling me how obese i was and how i was going to drop dead. like i said, i am overweight, but not super obese. (size 10 jeans from like american eagle/express, M/L top) Now, over a year ago, he found out he had another daughter. Said daughter was 20 years old, (lets call her N) and my older sister was 18/19. He now considers "N" his first born daughter which i think is a bit ****** up. He went through some tough patches (he was incarcerated) and we would all go and visit him which was hell because i was still in elementary and i didn't know what to tell people when they asked me about my dad, and we would have to travel like 3 hours early in the morning to visit him. and the mom of N never visited him or told him about his daughter. He's now dating N's mom.

Question: What can I do?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 10:57 AM PDT

My dad was in the army my whole life and I was constantly moving every 2-3 years being forced to make new friends. After my dad retired we moved to thhe other side of the country and it was hard. But after 2 years of living here it has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I've found the friends I've been wanting and they really help me. I suffer from severe depression and social anxiety. And I feel that the people I surrounded myself with have helped me overcome my issues. I love them so much and I've never had such good friends before. But after 3 years of living here my mom really hates it. She prefers the west coast. She misses her family and she absolutely hates her job here. Meanwhile my dad is doing pretty stable but he's willing to do what it takes to make my mom happy. In one year they're planning on moving back. And I have to go with my family because I'm only 14. But I don't want to move back. I've grown accustom here and I feel that if I move my depression would come back and I would kill myself. I've already tried talking about this to my parents and they won't listen to me. There is no way I can move back. I'm tired of being the new kid and having to go through these drastic changes. I feel like my only resort is to run away if they try to force me to move. I cannot move. Where I am, is home. And I don't know what to do. Im scared and I can't just make new friends and get used to such a drastic change again.

Question: Is there a way to get rid of my 25 year old brother?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 10:22 AM PDT

my brother is 25 years old. he doesn t do anything besides smoke, drink and sleep. he doesn t have a job and and he failed out of college. he cusses at me and mom when we don t do whatever he says, he talks about hurting the dogs in our house, he talks about hurting himself too. He argues and yells with my mom everyday. he is bipolar, but he never takes his medicine. I hate being here at home because i don t want to hear all the fighting. my mom has thought about kicking him out, but she knows he has nowhere else to go. Even though she talks about kicking him out, she never does anything about it. i don t like being at home because i hate hearing all this yelling and fighting. is there any way for my brother to leave? is there any way we can get rid of him?

Question: Apply for custodu in Arizona or Nevada?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 10:16 AM PDT

THERE IS NO CURRENT CUSTODY ARRANGEMENTS THROUGH THE COURTS YET IN PLACE! My stepdaughter has been living with her grandmother in Las Vegas for the past 6 months. Her mom and her moved out there from California and the mother was staying in a drug rehab facility. We just found out that my stepdaughters mom has been missing since sometime in July, but my husband was never informed. He has decided to go for Emergency Custody. Would he file in Arizona where we live? Or in Nevada where the daughter lives with her grandmother?

Question: How can I tell my dad that he needs to get a job?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 09:34 AM PDT

My dad has been living with me for over a year. However, I have been helping him financially for the past 10 years since I was 18. I'm about to be 28. He lived in our native country and said it was hard to find a job. I was able to bring him to this country legally. He promised to get a job and help me with the expenses since I moved in to an apartment and he moved in with me. Months passed and nothing. When I mention the job he got mad and stopped talking to me. He moved out with a woman. But 5 months ago he called me saying if he could stay over my house. I said he could come but he needs to get a job and move pit. He agreed. It been 5 months and nothing. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't bother me. He washes the dishes and help with things around the house but I need make my life. He can't be depending on me for the rest of his life. I don't to mention anything for fear of his reaction but he is not doing anything. He asked me for $1 today. Its not a big deal but is he going to be depending on me for ever?? I don't know what to do.

Question: How to make my dad let go and let me live my life the way I want to?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 08:29 AM PDT

My serious and loving bf of 3 years may have a great opportunity with his job to relocate to CO. It's a high paying job and once he's accepted it's pretty much a solid job for the next 3 years. I am an entrepreneur/independent contractor. I work my own hours & make part-time income. I'm an online seller and make money that way too. I don't have a salary, 9-5, or a boss, which is still a foreign concept to my dad. Both of us have wanted to leave FL for some time now. My dad helped me buy my current condo 3 years ago which we wanted to rent out but he refuses to let us rent it. I understand this so we will have to sell it. We got for a really good price when the market was down, so Dad is pretty upset I want to move and leave it behind. I'm 30 now and I still feel my dad is trying to make major decisions for me. I have given him so many reasons why moving is a great idea and he just won't see my point of view. I feel like things have run their course in Florida, I am ready to go. All I've wanted is to move to CO or Cali to pursue new things and maybe land a great opportunity for myself. My dad has always lived closer to me and he randomly suggests I work minimum wage jobs I used to have in HS and my 20s.. despite having a college degree and being totally out of line with my longterm goals. Its like he just wants me to just accept this life and not search or yearn for anything better, or even grow up and be a real adult. How do I make this transition easier?

Question: Could/Should I "Run Away"...?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 07:11 AM PDT

Funny question, not just a "quick decision", I've been thinking about it for a while.. I'm 19 and just got a car. I'm definitely still staying home and saving up for a while, my mom doesn't care as long as I do chores and school/work so I'm hoping to save up at least a few thousand. But when my mom finally wants me out, she is very "controlling" and will tell me where I can and can't move. (Even did that with the car, I paid for all of it but she had to have a say in it and tell me what not to get and what to get. If I told her otherwise she'd tell me to move out or start paying rent, so I just listen so I can save up.. Still happy with the car though..) But when I finally do leave I don't really want a place, I kinda just wanna "travel" the United States and get away from home. My mom feels like "everyone NEEDS HER", so she won't make me move out because then "I won't need her anymore", and she thinks I can't do anything by myself. Hell will freeze over before she thinks I can travel the United States alone, not to mention her "taking care of my stuff while I'm gone", I know that won't happen.... She barely trusts me now to go to the store by myself, apparently she thinks I'm too "trusting" and will let anyone rape me, when I never even talk to anyone... My dad trusts me more and I do a lot more stuff over at his house tho.. So considering my mom will never "trust" me to do anything without her, should I "run away" with just essentials..? Haven't done it yet because it was her car I was driving and she was paying, that's what she always reminded me of if I wanted to go do something and she said no, (she actually thinks my sis is "wise" cause she's scared of everything and stays by moms side) so now that I have my own car.. Main thing is I don't want to be getting a place I can't afford when I want to be traveling anyways, don't want to waste any money on a place to live. I'll only take essentials with me, my assumption is rent a place for a couple months or so occasionally just to get a steady job again when I need it, then when I have a few thousand saved up I can move out again. I only buy essentials, dont use makeup, very few clothes, two pairs of shoes, etc... Very low maintenance..

Question: I feel like my dad just gets so angry all the time. is this okay?

Please help

Question: Is it normal for a son to hate his mother?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 04:04 AM PDT

My mother has absolutely ruined my life. She was on drugs after college and was the while pregnant with me and my brother. She's very smart, but also very manipulative. I moved out last year because her drug usage got out of hand and I couldn't be in that environment anymore. My brother recently implied that I should come over soon and I haven't responded to the text (he lives with her). It's like I don't even want to see her face. Is it bad that I feel this way? Thanks guys!

Question: Boyfriends parents invading our holiday?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 02:25 AM PDT

Myself and my boyfriend have been together two years and are going on our first holiday together next week. His parents live in Wales and us in England and do not see them much, they asked us about 4 months ago if we'd like to go on holiday with them however I had to decline as I didn't feel comfortable going away with people I'd only met twice (I didn't feel like i had warmed to them very well, they tent to argue quite a lot so it wasn't a very good first impression). His mum didn't take no as the answer and repeatedly kept asking when we'd go on holiday with them. Two months pass and we book a holiday together, which we are very much looking forward to! His mum finds out and didn't take it very well. Another 3 weeks pass and she now tells her son that his dad has booked them a surprise holiday...another week passes and she tells us it's to the same place we'll be going at the same time, she is now telling us we should meet up with them because that's what we owe them at least. My boyfriend isn't very happy either but won't stand up to them. Has any got any advice?! ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.0.03

Question: Is it bad that I hate me mother?

Posted: 17 Sep 2017 02:23 AM PDT

She makes me want to die sometimes I'm 14 and very overweight which I've been trying to fix for a long while now. And it hasn't worked so far. She has called me fat more than two times including tonight where she said "why don't you just go eat like a f*ckin hog with your aunt" because she doesn't like my aunt. She's smacked me across the face once She blames her bad moods and stress on me and she says that I'm making her life worse. She's an alcoholic. She's messed up my sleeping times because I can't sleep until she can leave me alone or else she's gonna smoke in the room and I have asthma. Is it bad that I actually hate her?

Question: I have almost never had birthday presents in my life.?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 11:01 PM PDT

My parents never bought me birthday presents in my life. Never ever any kind of gifts when I was a child in any time. We were never poor. Mostly middle to upper middle class.. I am 35 and birthdays and Christmas time are the most depressing times of the year. No one remembers me and I sleep all day long so my birthday passes real quick. This year even my siblings forgot to call me. I feel so lonely and have wounds from childhood that never heals.

Question: Should I change my last name?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 10:57 PM PDT

So, my parents were never married. For simplicity's sake, we'll say my last name is Corleone-Lopez (Mother's last name-Father's last name). My mom raised me for the most part by herself. My dad didn't pay legal child support, however, he was the financial rock (not always willingly) that allowed me to go to a good school and he was my soccer coach for years. He owns a solid business and I myself work there part time and am very involved in it. However, I do go to college full-time and I only have two years left before graduation (hopefully). As a kid, people knew my last name as Lopez however in high school I forced the school to make sure I was referred to as Corleone-Lopez on all school forms, which is my legal name anyway. Thinking about the future however, I want to get rid of Lopez completely. I want myself, my wife, and my kids to bear just Corleone. The reasoning for this is mostly cultural. Lopez is a common last name and brings the connotation of a certain ethnicity which I don't want to be referred to as because I was not raised in that culture. Corleone, however, is a unique last name and also has alot of history to it. My mom doesn't want me to change my last name because she thinks my dad will be angry and I haven't even asked my dad about it. I don't know if I'll end up working for my dad after college but there is a chance that I wouldn't even be able to keep the name change secret. Any advice?

Question: My 15 year old daughter asked to sleep in my bed with me and started crying when I tried to tell her no?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 10:53 PM PDT

I'm a man with a 15 year old daughter. Her mom died when she was 2, so it's been just us for basically her entire life. She's always lived with me. We have a good relationship. My daughter is a completely "normal" teenager, for lack of a better term. She's not overly attached to me or anything like that. The other night, though, she did something SO weird. Around 3:00 am, she came into my room, woke me up, and asked if she could sleep in my bed with me. I was very taken aback and confused because besides the other night, she hadn't slept in my bed or even considered it since she was 5 years old. I told her no to sleeping in my bed because that'd be weird, but she started begging and saying stuff like, "it's just this once, you have a whole king sized bed, you can put a pillow between us, etc.". I still said no and asked her to go back to her room. She wouldn't leave and continued begging, so I told her she could sleep on my floor if she really wanted to, but she wasn't content with that and kept trying to talk me into letting her sleep in the bed. Finally, she broke down in real tears, basically forcing me to feel really bad for her and give in. She's not a crier unless she's extremely upset, and she can't fake cry, so I know that she was genuinely upset for some reason. Since all of this happened, she's been acting kind of weird, but she hasn't asked to sleep in my bed again....maybe just because or maybe because I told her it was a one time thing. Her reason for wanting to sleep in my bed was because she "felt uneasy". I asked her if she'd had a nightmare, but she he insists that she didn't. I've also asked her what's going on with her several times since the other night, but she says that it's "nothing" and that I'm "overreacting". Also, another reason I gave in was because it was the middle of the night and I was exhausted and just wanted to go back to sleep. I'm definitely not a pushover kind of dad

Question: What did I do wrong?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 10:42 PM PDT

I m 13. I have a question on what I m doing wrong. Ever since maybe four years ago, my mom has been going out and getting drunk with friends and then coming home and thats the end of it. Every time she comes home I just tell myself it ll get better soon. But i ve come to realize that I need to stop lying to myself. My dad s pretty much out of the picture by the way. But anyways, since this has started she s also been caught smoking by me and she promised she d quit three different times but last night I caught her but she didn t notice. Tonight she came home at around midnight and I sprinted to my room and fake slept and it worked. But she went over to her room, did whatever she needed to do then proceeded to cry, quiety as I assume she was trying not to wake me up. I have no clue why she does this to herself and it really hurts me because she always knows where I am so I can t sneak out when I m trying to just let go of things. Whenever I bring up her drinking she always says she doesn t drink a lot and gets mad and anything a typical "alcoholic" would say. I tried cutting myself once to get her attention, we were bowling and I just let my arm show too everyone there. Everybody notice accept, my mom. Because she was too drunk to notice. She just got offeree a job so I d assume maybe after finally getting a job (after 8 or so months) things would change, but I am clearly mistaken. I really hate how things are right now and I hope someone on here can help me cope with this.

Question: Almost killed myself. Help?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 10:34 PM PDT

I can't take everything anymore. I wrote the longest, Most raw and vulnerable note ever and another one tying up loose ends. I gave away very sentimental and important things to my siblings and said goodbye. I did it very vaguely though, I don't think they knew. I had a plan, once everyone was asleep, I would sneak out and just down a whole sleeping pill bottle. I even pretended to have fun with my siblings, I love them too much to have my last moments with them be how they usually were. I would just soak up their laughs thinking "I'll miss you" and "I wonder how'll they'll react" but then I just.... didn't. I don't know why. And I ever felt anything and that's why I'm scared. This isn't NORMAL, I need HELP. I still feel nothing towards the notion of suicide, just fear that I don't feel anything. Please help, this isn't okay. This is my last resort I'm so messed up

Question: I think... i'm adopted?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 09:30 PM PDT

The thing is, i look nothing like my parents, at least my father. and don't say lots of people don't look like there parents blah blah blah because i look NOTHING like them. I have two step sister which are already from two different men. APPARENTLY i share a father with my little sister, but i'm beginning to doubt that. I've never felt like i fit in with my family. My sister have big brown eyes, soft brown hair and dark skin. Like BOTH my parents, let just say they are REALLY pretty. Thing is. I have dark black hair and tanish skin. I don't even fit in with my own culture, and i try so hard to. Like the tanning thing, i thought it would make me look more accepted but it just made me look like a dark Asian or something. I never really thought about until now, people always ask me **** like "Where are you from?" etc. I feel like until i get a DNA test or something i wont ever feel like i belong anywhere. My step brother even has afroish hair like my mum :( I used to get bullied because people thought i was Chinese or something and it never got to me until now. My mother uses us as a way to get wealth-fare money from the government and i'm starting to think shes using me for money? I really don't know. I just want answers, if i am adopted, how will i find out? They issue new birth certificate once someone. I heard a story about my aunt wanting to adopt me when i was born, why would she want to adopt me for? I feel like i was just passed around at birth or something. just thought id say my dads not on my birth certificate... just thought id add... my father has never really been in out lives and has come and gone. but when he does come, he treats me as if i were his own. even though we look nothing alike, i wouldn't want to hurt him but asking him or a DNA test of anything. tbh i wish he was my real father, but it obviously isn't true.

Question: Is it bad that I only want one gender of kids? What do I do?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 09:29 PM PDT

I know, i'm being selfish but I cant help it. My wife and I are thinking about starting a family but I do NOT want a boy, at all! I have five brothers, one sister, nine nephews and one niece. I am so bored with boys and we don't like ANY boys names. Not one. And we like tons of girls names. My family were so excited when my sister had a daughter, I could tell they were secretly more excited than when they kept having grandson after grandson/nephew after nephew. But the biggest reason is being quite a sensitive boy my whole life, I have gotten along with mostly girls and had almost no guy friends and I feel like I have some weird resentment for boys because there were very few boys in my life who didn't bully me, but the girls always accepted me. What should i do? I don't want to be disappointed but I really want kids. I'm sure I would love my son but I would be so much happier with a daughter.

Question: My mom is going to be 70 this year, I'm so afraid of losing her soon. My heart aches at the thought. What can I do to ease my worry?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 09:03 PM PDT

I just can't imagine life without my mom & I think of it every day. I'm only 27 & I still need her here with me

Question: Is there a website to search up minors?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 08:52 PM PDT

I have a half brother and he is about 15 or 16 and I don't know him but I know his name and I really want to know what school he goes to by knowing his address so I can see what he looks like (my friends go to different schools in the area). I really want to know my brother but i don't know his mom's name and I'm scared to ask my mom or dad. I'm 14 by the way. Please don't be mean :-( I tried all social medias.... nothing.

Question: What country does the last name Anselm come from?

I'm pretty sure it's from Germany but I could be wrong.

Question: Am i being unreasonable?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 08:07 PM PDT

I have a little brother, he's 7, that's staying tonight with his father (him and my mom are divorced). His father is drunk, and it's gonna be him, his son and my little brother. I'm trying to get my mom to pick him up, because I don't want him to be around a drunk person. Am I overreacting? She's getting mad at me, and I'm sitting here crying because I feel helpless. I don't want him around his father while he's drunk.

Question: Should I forgive my sister for outing me?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 07:19 PM PDT

I am an 18 year old girl, my sister outed me a few months before my 18th birthday. She went through my phone, saw text messages, confronted me and beat (verbally attacked me) the fact that I liked girls out of me, then got on the phone and told my mother, then told her friend, and whomever else. She had literally NO regards for my emotions. Knowing that this is something that people kill themselves over. Mind you, she is 31. So she KNOWS better. She constantly disregards people feelings, over steps her boundaries, and talks to people any kind of way. Therefore, her apology means nothing to me. I come from a family who thinks that they can do and say cruel things to you, then an hour later laugh and grin in your face like nothing ever happened. She is now trying to be cool, act like she's my friend, etc. But I just hate her. I cannot stand her.

Question: I got dropped from my favorite sorority that strung me along. I joined one but I'm not excited about It. What should I do?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 07:03 PM PDT

The sorority I was in love with from the beginning hugged me and told me they loved me and were obsessed with me so of course I fell for them. They were the only one I was extremely excited over and I signed with another even though I'm very upset just to see how it goes because I can always drop it and rush again next year. I'm completely disappointed and am having a hard time being happy for bid day. I need some advice

Question: Is it still considered incest?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:58 PM PDT

Recently my siblings and i found out our oldest brother was adopted and i've noticed him and my older sister hanging around a lot, more than usual, and i feel like they could be doing some stuff. It's really weird and i don't want it to be true, but is that still incest?

Question: It's my senior year and my parents don't care.?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:51 PM PDT

I'm finally in my senior year and my parents don't really care at all. I have straight A's for the first time and they don't ever acknowledge that I do. They think my goals are unrealistic and they are always worried about everyone else, but me. I have senior stuff that has to be ordered and they didn't even pay for it (I have to have a cap and gown) and they just "forgot" even though I reminded them. I have senior pictures that I need to wear something nice (they aren't getting me a dress or at least a nice shirt) but they sure as hell are getting my sisters homecoming dresses and shoes and everything they need. My mom called me antisocial because I wasn't going to the dance (I have to work that day). I don't think my parents even really like me, because when my older siblings graduated they got whatever they wanted and my parents were really involved. I'm feeling really down about it because it seems like they don't care.

Question: I hurt my mothers feelings badly what should i do ?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:35 PM PDT

i really don't have anyone else to talk to, but i just needed to say it. Today my mom came home from a wedding, she was so happy & calm, she had asked to speak with me but i wasn't in the talking mood. So she asked me what's wrong and i shrugged my shoulders & she asked if i'm okay, i nodded my head and looked at the tv (i have a real hard time making eye contact it makes me uncomfortable) she then was telling me about how she was done with being hurt & she's never done anything to me but tries to give me the best, i want to tell her how i feel but i have a hard time talking about my feelings & on top of that i made her cry & now i feel so awful, i've been crying for two hours now & it just hurts me to know that i hurt my own mother the one who takes care of me & put a roof & food in my mouth, i honestly feel like i failed as a daughter.

Question: My dad cheats on my mom and I'm there when it happens?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:28 PM PDT

My dad has been cheating on my mom for a while and I'm usually around when he does it. My mom works a lot and gets called into work even on her off days (She's a doctor so she isn't around that much). When I first saw my dad cheating on my mom he had this long conversation with me about how she's never really home and he doesn't have anyone to do romantic stuff with and to cuddle and have sex with. He said he would buy me anything I want if I didn't tell her and at that time I wanted a new flat screen so that's what I got. Anyway, I have early dismissal from school so I get home pretty early and usually my dad always has his mistress or whatever it's called over. I try my best to not care because if I start caring I will get the urge to tell my mom and I know she'll divorce my dad immediately. I keep it to myself because I have a younger brother and he's not even out of middle school yet and I don't want him to have to go through the traumatizing experience of seeing his parents split up. I just don't know what to do? I hate seeing it and I feel like a terrible person for not telling my mom.

Question: Everyone is so perfect in my family?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:14 PM PDT

Except me. My older siblings are really smart and have a stable Job. They did well in Highschool and I just barely made it. My sister has always been praised, because she is pretty, and I 'm just a fat piece of sh*t. My brother is good at something he likes. All of my cousins have a High IQ. I'm just so stupid. All of my cousins are so beautiful and have perfect bodies . I know I can just study and exercise, but they are naturally pretty and smart. I hate that I'm so different. I wish I was like them I really want to be perfect like my sister, and I wish I was good at something. and like it just like my brother. Please not mean answers.

Question: Is there something wrong with me?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:12 PM PDT

some of my family members is always bringing me down and making fun of me and i dont like being around them because of that. wen i tell them i wanna be alone or tell them to get out my room, they call me depressed and they say things like i have mental issues or that theres something wrong with me but i just dont want to be around their negativity.

Question: Am I wrong at being mad?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 06:05 PM PDT

So long story short I let a family memeber barrow my car and they crashed it so they let me barrow their car so I could get around for work and school while they fixed the insurance issue. They are in the same insurance as me but they were not able to do anything about it and now they want to take their car back and have me figure it out on my own I know family comes first but is it wrong for me not to be pissed off.

Question: I hurt my mom's feelings?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 05:37 PM PDT

I told my mom something out of anger that I could've never imagine saying. My mom is my absolute everything and she knows it because of my actions. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a big mamas girl. I tell God thank you everyday for giving me a mom like her. She has nurtured me, supported everything I do, and loved me endlessly. I got angry that my sister always takes my clothes and destroys them and my parents ignore me when I complain. Recently I found out that out of the laundry that my sister did, I couldn't find my undergarment. This isn't the first time it's happened either, last time my sister snuck in my room for God knows what and my entire bag that I put my bra in went missing. When I asked he she looked guilty but didn't say anything. Now I'm finding out that my underwear went missing as well. This is getting strange and scary because I checked my sisters room and it's not there plus that's disgusting and I know she wouldn't wear my underwear so what does she do with them? I grew freaked out and pulled my mom to the side to tell her and she shut me off because she knew I would say something about my sister and my parents act like I'm the bad child and my siblings can do no wrong. I got frustrated when she walked off and told her that she was useless and never acts like a mom to me. I said it out of anger because I didn't mean it. She got sad and started crying and screaming when she thought I wasn't listening. I feel so bad what should I do?

Question: Moving to a new state?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 05:26 PM PDT

A week ago I was severely bored and didn't have anything to do with my time, I decided to go outside and play some basketball. Unfortunately, 5 violent men much larger than me started beating me up. When I got home my mother was terrified. I tried to reassure her that I was fine but she wouldn't calm down. She insisted that I move to California with my uncle. After getting out the airport I took an uber to my uncles house in California. What do I do? I will never see my old friends again.

Question: Why Does My Older Sister Always Try To Put Me Down?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 05:08 PM PDT

I m 12 years old and my sister is 17 and she is always mean to me for no reason. She is very pretty and smarter than me and gets cocky about how pretty she is and it seems like she is always trying to establish that by making me feel bad. Like if I go out and my hair doesn t look good, she will be like "your hair is so frizzy, you need to fix it." And she never lets me be proud of myself either. I m currently the smartest kid in my class and I like to be happy about it. But then she will be like "When you get to high school you aren t going to be the smartest." She says it in a way not as advice but to bring me down. She is so much more successful than I will ever be, so I don t see why she always try to compete with me. I have cried a lot because of this. What should I do

Question: My mother left me with disturbing babysitters as a kid. Should she have been reported to CPS?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 04:51 PM PDT

One babysitter slept with me (nothing sexual happened). One was severely Bipolar and one was an alcoholic. Eventually my Mom weeded them all out but I was alone with them (and my sister) many times before they were weeded out. A fourth one only babysat twice but explained to us how she was raped as a kid (I was eleven and barely knew what rape meant). So should my mother have been reported to CPS? It is too late now as I am 41 and my mother deceased as of last year so I am now exploring what she did right and what she did wrong. She also let her abusive sister babysit.

Question: My whole family teams up on my Mom's sister behind her back and insults her. We are estranged from her. Is this a family value?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 04:48 PM PDT

We last spoke to her in 2014. We have generally been estranged since 2002. We insult her daily. We bond with our common hate for her. We love those who hate her and hate those who love her. We do this over other people also but especially this one aunt since she got a house we wanted when my Mom's mother (my Granny) died in 2005. So is this a common family value to be estranged and bitter from someone in the family tree? We also shun her two kids (now adults) since they are from her.

Question: My sister is always insulting me to my face. How do I respond to get her to stop and grow up (she is 23)?

Question: My sister keeps bringing her boyfriend over when our parents aren't home, and it is driving me crazy!?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 04:32 PM PDT

My sister and I were home alone together last night, and she brought her boyfriend over and got intimate with him in her room. I couldn't go upstairs to grab my phone or anything because I didn't want to hear or see anything traumatizing, and my room is right next to hers, so I would have likely heard something. Then when her boyfriend's dad came to pick him up, I thought he was trying to rob my house. He wasn't, but that was pretty scary. Now my sister and I are staying home alone until tomorrow morning, and you'll never guess- her boyfriend is coming over again. My parents would not be happy if they knew about this, and they are celebrating their anniversary, so I don't want to stress them out with my situation. According to my sister they will just be watching a movie tonight. However, this whole thing stresses me out. We are both minors, and I am close with our parents. I don't like feeling that I am lying to them. It also stresses me out that my sister could easily get hurt from this, or her boyfriend could. This whole situation is annoying and frustrating, and I know that I tend to be more traditional than my sister about certain things, but no matter what, this is starting to interfere with my well-being. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thank you in advance.

Question: My aunt won't speak to her brother and vice versa. Are they simply hurting their parents by this childish behavior even if mad at each other?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 04:27 PM PDT

Is this them punishing their parents to get back at each other like when my mother (now deceased) wouldn't let me see family because she was punishing them through me? Does this universally punish parents when their kids won't speak to each other?

Question: My mother is a racist. How do I avoid being associated with her when people think of the family?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 04:26 PM PDT

Question: Did I do something Wrong?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 04:25 PM PDT

I stood normally, and my mother screamed at me for supposedly 'being unhappy or angry' or something, all because of my naturally bored looking expression. I told her why everytime I do nothing she starts screaming. She continues on about how when I'm 16 I better leave the house and everything. I smiled and said alright. She came over and slapped me a few times in the face, and I shouted at her for knocking my contact lenses into my eyes. I shouted again at her for not caring about my life, and she said 'If you die, the better' and I stormed upstairs and slammed my bathroom door and locked it. She continues to rant below me about how I'm an idiot, a failure, and a monster. She also threatens to report this to my father, who will probably beat the crap out of me tomorrow. I'm wondering, do I deserve an apology, or should I admit to my 'wrongdoings'?

Question: My cousin is always lying. How do I know when she is telling the truth?

Question: My 34 year old son is marrying a black woman who has two black kids? I don't want him to marry a black woman, I prefer he marry white?

Posted: 16 Sep 2017 03:49 PM PDT

She's very dark skinned. She has those dread hairstyles. She's not very pretty but my son likes her, like he loves her. I tell him mixed children are usually confused individuals. He says that he wants to marry her and is against my words. He's 34. She's 27 with two full black children already. He's chosen "low hanging fruit". There are single white women without children he could marry. Why did he like her? He's grown up around only whites and at least he could chose an Asian. The kids would be white. My son is willing to have mixed black kids. Where did I go wrong as a mother? My family thinks I'm racist. I don't hate blacks, I just want my children with white people. People who have the same culture as them. My son is also a Pediatrician and those children like him. I can't believe he would marry someone black. He grew up around white people. I wonder why he would choose a woman with two bastard children from thugs. I cant imagine them having mixed kids.
