Family: Question: How do I tell my parents to stop asking me for money?

Question: How do I tell my parents to stop asking me for money?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 02:13 PM PDT

My family is kind of in a tough spot right now, and they keep asking me for cash. The problem is, I'm running out of money for myself, and it feels really weird giving my parents cash. This past week, I've leant them over $200 for basic groceries and amities. Now they want me to pay for my little brother's birthday party, too, which will be another couple hundred. I don't know what is causing this sudden financial trouble since both my parents have steady jobs and nothing has changed at all lately, but it seems like they've started asking me for crazy amounts of cash to the point where I have nothing left for myself. I'm only 14 and the only job I have is babysitting. I was saving up the money I made for myself so I could get a computer, not to pay for my brother's elaborate 12th birthday party or for my parents' groceries. I tried telling them this, but they just said I was being selfish and I should try to support my brother. How do I get them to stop borrowing money I know they probably won't repay me? It just seems really unfair to me that I have to fund my brother's party (I'm not even getting a party, by the way) and all this other stuff.

Question: Not telling the baby's father that I'm pregnant?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 02:13 PM PDT

I am currently 5 weeks along and I'm in a rock and a hard place. Earlier this year I met what I thought was this great guy. We seemed to click naturally and even though it was more casual there was chemistry. I stupidly fell in love with him. My dad warned me not to let him take advantage of me and my mom was hesitant about him. He's got a good job and a house of his own he just moved into. What eventually got me to snap was when I asked him if he wanted to do something for his birthday either this Thursday or Monday ( He's turning 28 this Friday). He responded saying he's getting hammered tomorrow and Monday he's recouperating. I know we aren't official or anything but I felt incredibly hurt he couldn't make even an hour for me. That was before I knew I was even pregnant. Keeping in mind if I knew who he truly was I would have never gotten involved with him. I have been feeling funny recently and felt I should take a test. All three came back positive and they were different brands. The thing I'm having a hard time is this guy didn't even want to hang out with me much less be with me. Should I still tell him about my baby? I had a dead beat dad and it really affected me growing up so that's why I don't want to subject my child the same way. If you were in my position would you still tell the father?

Question: Why is my life horrible?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 01:54 PM PDT

I recently turned 18 and my life has been horrible for as long as I can remember. My mother was distant and negletful, and she left my family and I when I was 10 years old, and ever since then my father has been abusive. He has began to demand money for rent, about $200-$400 a month, and I have already paid him well over $400, but the reality of the situaton is that I am a student that can barely afford to put myself through school while also manage a job to pay for it, let alone have all my money going towards him, being that he makes enough money to support himself, my siblings and I already, though he doesn t show it. I have been purchasing my own things since age 12, may it be with birthday money or money from my various jobs. I have had depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. Nothing I do seems to fix this, no one understands; all my friends have loving parents who put them through school, pay for things they might not afford, all while living under their roof for free. I ve tried to mention this to my father but he is stubborn and does not comply, saying that at age 18 I am a liability to him. I can t help but to think what have I done to deserve such a life? Why must I live like this while everyone else I see live happily and stress-free? I think I want to kill myself.

Question: My son came out to me. Do parents normally react like this?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 01:43 PM PDT

So my fifteen year old came out to me, and as I did not expect it, I was quite shocked. You know, I didn't yell at him or get angry because I accept him but there is always that part of you that feels kind of like disappointment. As a parent you may imagine your child grown up with a good job and a family, well I need to change that, either he's getting married and/or adopt kids or just remain, alone. I feel like I need to get used to this, I need to face reality, but its hard as you always wanted something different.

Question: My parents have a nanny even though I'm 14, and she slapped my face because I spat and swore. Parents supported her. Did I deserve it?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 01:18 PM PDT

I'm a 14-year old boy. Saturday afternoons my parents go out for lunch, but instead of leaving me alone, they get a nanny for me. She's a university student who my parents like but is very strict with me. This weekend they told her I had some homework to do and to make sure I did it. When they left I went to my room and told her I would do it, but started watching TV. She saw me once and I said I'd do it soon. But an hour later when she came I was still watching TV, so she switched it off without asking me, and ordered me to start. I got angry and I said a bad word to her (the f word) and spat on the floor. At that, she slapped me hard across my face, put her hand under my chin, and said I hope you remember this slap if you ever even think about saying that again. I began to cry but she ignored that and made me do my homework, and when my parents came home I told them. They said I fully deserved it and scolded me in front of her. Were they wrong or did I deserve it?

Question: Having homesickness - I need some opinions?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:57 PM PDT

So Ive recently had a vacation to FL and since then have been staying there with my cousins. My mom in Oregon has cancer, and my cousins mom feels really bad and she said the only way she could help my mom is for me to go to school here because I have more interaction with people here than in Oregon. (And my mom liked me staying here) Its been fine the past few weeks, but recently my mom has died and I spent a few weeks in Oregon. I realized how much I missed about Oregon and how stressful school has been. I kind of want to move back to Oregon with my dad and just go back to homeschool, but at the same time FL is also fun. It just doesnt feel like home here in FL. The only problem is that I feel bad about how much money my cousins mom spent on me (like my school supplies, airplane tickets, etc.) and I dont want to fly by myself and have her miss more work and spend more money just to bring me back. I'd also have tons of luggage to bring back. What do you guys think??

Question: Why would a guy keep looking at his ex gf?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:25 PM PDT

If he said he didn't want to be with her? could be lying?

Question: Why did my mom say this?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:15 PM PDT

So my sister has an insecurity issue, and she talks about it everyday. I thought it got too serious, because I remember I had the same problem and it took me really long to get over it, but anyways I told my mother about it and she said "She's fine. It's just being a teenager." As a parent, are you supposed to ignore problems like that? It's not just this, though, my mom literally acts like a baby with the baby voice and everything and I can't have a serious convo with her for the life of me like omg. Our dad isn't any help either, my sis had all As but was lower than me, so he said "This is so disappointing. You need to do better. You're NOTHING" and it made my sis so upset that she almost cried (I have NEVER seen her cry or be close to). I feel so frustrated and upset that my parents don't know how to handle certain issues. Especially with me, they made it so much harder for me when I was trying to gain a little self esteem, and now I accept that I'm ugly and miserable, I don't want my sis to be like that. I'm just SO UPSET because she has a lot going for her and I want her to be way better off than me, but it seems she's becoming depressed and going down my path and I really don't want that. Literally my bro sis and me have serious issues, I don't want to blame it on my parents, but it's like ALL of us need a therapist it's surprising. Advice???

Question: I can't forgive my sister?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:12 PM PDT

I love my sister but she is making it very difficult for me want her in my life. She proved to me that she wasn't trustworthy when we were younger by outing me to my parents. They pulled me out of school, locked me up and forced me into therapy. It's been ten years since then and I'm still extremely careful with what I say to her. Well a month ago, my spouse and I desperately needed a babysitter for our kids and my sister was the only option. So we called her. We were gone for one hour, came home and she left like all was well. As it turns out, while we were gone, she went through our things and discovered some information abut my spouse that she wasn't supposed to know. And instead of coming to us about it, she went home and told my parents. Now things are super awkward and tense. She sees nothing wrong with what she did and my spouse is seriously upset and feeling exposed. My family thinks that we should just get over it but I can't do this again. The one I love was hurt and I don't know what to do.

Question: Boys won't stop farting?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:07 PM PDT

I told them from now on, they have to tell someone they love them before they let it rip, and its turned into a competition to see who can go longest, loudest and the most often. "Mom, I love you!" Braap! Sis, Love You!" HoonK! "Ma I."Brammph! It's driving me crazy and the house smells worse than ever.

Question: My mother -in- law is driving me CRAZY!?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:06 PM PDT

My mother in law moved in with us supposed to be only for a short time.Month turned into a year & counting. When she first moved in i had to give her my son's room at the time we lived in a 2brm apt. We thought it was gonna be just a temporary thing. She filed for housing & it took about a month & she got approved. They gave her 3 months to find a home & we tried helping her find a home but she didn't like anything we picked for her. I tried taking her to look at homes & she was just being super picky. About a month after she was approved for housing something happend & they had to put her back on the waiting list. So that meant she was gonna be here longer. My husband & i getting so stressed out it made us bicker with eachother & whenever we did have an arguement she would always find a way to get involved & i asked her time & time again to please not get involved it only made things more stressful for me. We ended up finding a 3 bedroom house & was hoping that one of her other kids would take her in so i could give the 3rd bedroom to our oldest son. Well of course none of his siblings wanted to take care of her so she ended up moving with us to our new home giving her the 3rd bedroom. I have tired being patient with her i've have had just about enough of it.she is driving me insane! What am i supposed to do ? I miss it just being us & doing whatever we wanted without feeling like we have include her or feeling guilty if we don't. My live in mother in law is driving me INSANE!

Question: Should i feel guilty or what?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 11:25 AM PDT

I met a guy on a birthday party few days ago...We liked each other, so i accepted his invitation to go to his place after the party. We had s*x and it was wonderful, until his mom came in the room. I was shocked, because she caught us naked, but i also didn`t know that he was living with his mother. The thing is that she was arrogant, nervous and i think a bit crazy. She started yelling at him: " What are you doing?'' ''You don`t go to work, you only drink and sleep, and now you brought a slut in my house.'' After yelling at him, she spat on me. I felt disguisting. He saw that, and on my biggest surprise, he jumped at his mom and said, she is not a slut and you better apologize. Instead of an apologize, she threw a cell phone to me and hit me in the chest. I was totally confused and afraid I have to admit, as i was naked and attacked by his mother. But what got me astonished was when he put his mom on her knees in front of me, caught her arms and yelled at her: '' She may be my wife in the future, you can`t threat her like that, do you understand?'' Nevertheless, his father showed up too. When we told him what happened, he grabbed her by the hair, took her to the living room and started hitting and kicking her. She was crying as a baby. As i was leaving from there, i saw his father stomping on her face and he winked on me. Should i feel guilty for that??

Question: Is it weird that I get along better with my uncle than my parents?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 06:56 AM PDT

My dads brother, my uncle, is older than my dad. A couple of years ago when I started college I got to live with him for a few months until I got my own place. And from there our family ties grew into a friendship. I am always amazed by how different he is from my dad. I love my dad and my mom but we are so different. They are so uptight and judgemental about anything that isn't the norm. My uncle lives alone. He used to have a wife and daughter bud sadly they died when I was just a kid. And thought college my uncle helped me with things that my dad knows nothing about. Parties, girls, business, traveling and things like that. My dad has never left his hometown, nor does he want to. He doesn't have many friends nor does he want to. He's never done anything outside of the box in his life. But the worst part is that he judges everyone that doesn't do what he wants to do. I remember when I lived with my uncle and he found a bad of weed in my room. We started smoking together and really grew a friendship. I remember him helping me with my first date. He helped me plan my first backpacking trip and he invested in my business. Today it's my living. Something my dad called a foolish pipe dream. Subconsciously I wish I could be the same with my dad and my mom. Is that bad to be in that predicament?

Question: My BF keeps me at a distance from his family?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 06:25 AM PDT

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year. I've had short meetings with his brother and only met his mother once. Our relationship is pretty mature, as we've moved in together and we share a lot in life together, but he's still keeping me at a distance from his family - never incorporating me in birthday outings or family dinners. His excuse is, "yeah you can come, but my family is sooo annoying and loud, I want to spare you the experience." As a result of him keeping me at a distance, I've NOT introduced him to my mother and sister. I don't want to introduce my family to him and get them involved in my relationship when he's drawn the line at family involvement. What should I make of his keeping things separate? His mother likes me from what she knows and SHE has invited me to come to gatherings, but he tells her I have things going on.. WTF!

Question: How do I get my Mom to stop grounding me from seeing my Dad?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 05:07 AM PDT

She says its cause he is an alcoholic but my grandmother says she will supervis while i am with him. How can I get her to stop punishing me cause she doesnt like alcoholic people?

Question: Why does she keep telling me to wait ?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 03:52 AM PDT

My instructor and I were like best friends. He died last year, it hurt me terribly, he was so important to me. I got extremely close to a sibling of his who is in their 40s. We've gotten extremely close. I've mentioned all through this year to her (his sibling) how badly I wanted to go visit his grave site but just haven't been able to because it so far. I finally gathered the money to go on my own , she knows how bad I wanted to go. Although every time I bring it up she tells me to by go and to wait because it'll upset me and make me cry. Which I know of course but why does she keep telling me to wait? She keep saying the right time will come and to wait.. no one will help me get there that's why I'm trying to go there on my own.. Why is she tryinggg ngbto keep me f m there? Why won't she take me?? I've told her how bad I've needed to go, because I missed his funeral and it will help me in my healing process to go

Question: I feel bad for existing?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 03:44 AM PDT

I'm an 18 year old girl and I was an accident. My parents hated each other but got married because of me and are on the brink of devorce. I just wish I could be a better daughter. My mum's Asian and my dad's European and they hate each other's cultures. My mum shouts at me for acting European and my dad gets mad when I'm being 'Asian'. They are so racist and I don't know what to be. I just feel I am letting them down and somehow I feel bad how my friends care about me. Like they shouldn't waste their time with me because I'm not worth it. I hate myself for taking everything so seriously. How can I stop thinking like a weirdo? Thank you

Question: Why does my teenagers eat so much and sleep so much?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 03:43 AM PDT

They are not overweight, all of them are skinny but I have to buy huge amounts of food to feed them. My teenage daughter doesn't care what she eats as long as she eats but my son is a little picky. What can I do to have some food long lasting (chips, chocolate etc) because they find everything I hide, I want to share it with them but they always eat it up when I am not at home even if I tell them not to.

Question: I have been asking my mum for over a year to move schools.?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 03:27 AM PDT

I'm in year 7 (so I'm 13 years old) and I didn't get a choice of school. I've asked my mum a lot and she is now saying I'll think about it instead of no now. What do I do and how do I convince her to let me move?

Question: How to ignore the blatant favoritism?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 01:58 AM PDT

My mother seems to have a favourite child in my older sister, however I do not believe she shows it on purpose. I have an older sister who is 3 years younger than me and an older sister that is 3 years older. My oldest sister is doing her Ph.D. and obviously my mother is proud of that. However she always brings it up at odd times. An example was when my younger sister got top marks on her bachelor thesis, she told my mother in excitement and my mother just brushed it aside and talked about how my sister had just got some good results on an experiment. I started playing piano about 2 months ago and I played a tune for my mother to show her how far I had gotten. Her response was if I knew that my older sister was able to just hear a song and then play it without any notes. It is annoying, but I have learnt not to expect my mother to be excited for my highs in life and will not include her in them as a result. What could be the reason for this behaviour from my mother?

Question: Unwanted guest?

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 01:19 AM PDT

Me and my sister have this guy who has moved in because he thinks life is to tough when you have parents around. He is the definition of narcissism. He is completely rude and acts like he owns the house when he is over even going as far as to tell my sister that she need to get off the xbox because he is the guest and the guest plays when he comes over because its proper and whines until he gets his way despite him being an 18 year old and even makes period jokes in front of her even going as far to say women are inferior because they cant stand up for themselves and don't know real pain. He even went as far to say that childbirth is easy and anyone could do it even him even though he always has his friends fight for him because he can't handle the fights he starts with his big mouth. He is completely disrespectful to my mother calling the shows we watch together gay just because he doesn't like them. He makes fun of us for watching pretty little liars the most because I'm a guy and love the show myself and find myself watching it with my girlfriend when she is over.What should we do about him? Hes already living with us and we have had just about enough of him but he has no where to go if we kick him out. He is making our mom to buy his food saying he will pay her back and is looking for a job even though we all know he hasn't. We barely have enough money to get through the month alone and hes only making things worse for all of us. How do we set him straight?

But no one else is going to...

Question: Should I accept my obesity?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 10:29 PM PDT

I've always struggled with obesity. My parents are overweight so I never learned good eating habits. Eating ice cream out of the tub, late night pizza in bed, fast food meals, and getting seconds (and thirds) were common in our house, because they wanted me to indulge and be happy. My mom used to also tell me how most of the women on her side are obese and not to worry about my size. As a result of overeating and lack of exercise I hit 400 lbs by age 16. I exercised and dieted a little and lost 50 lbs, then gained that back, then lost it again. But now I'm 23 and at my heaviest ever--503 lbs. I really feel huge--it's a struggle to get out of bed, I need my dad to help me off the couch, and I get out of breath walking around the house. I never thought I'd be 500 lbs and am really depressed. All I do is lay down and eat. I switched to Diet Coke and have been eating more greens, but I can't kick the food addiction. I try every day to eat better and walk more, and every day I fail. I probably put on 8-10 lbs since my last weigh in. My boyfriend reassures me that I'm beautiful and that any extra weight is "more to love." My mom said she's worried but that God made me this big for a reason, and that all God's children are beautiful and perfect. I want to accept my size, but I'm worried about my health. Should I listen to them and stop worrying myself about dieting?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 09:07 PM PDT

I was sitting on my bed & my mom comes in & walks in front of me & lets out a fart pretty much in front of my face and my hand was close to her nasty a$$. I get she s my mom, but I feel like that s no excuse to fart on people. To me in general, that s just disrespectful. That really pissed me off because I m not like that with her or anyone. She of course looks at it as a joke. & after I got pissed my sister tells me I m "being overdramatic". I m sure no one likes being fart on even if it s family. What do you think???

Question: I am 17 and my mom is grounding me because I have a C in calculus. Is that fair?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 09:06 PM PDT

I am grounded until Christmas break because I have a C in calculus. My family says for me to get an A or B in each class if I want to hang out with my friend's and have a boyfriend. I am a senior and calculus is stressing me out. She ssys that "A C is failing and People who make a C don't get a good paying job." I think she is unreasonable and she never even got a degree while my dad makes $110k a year and supports the 3 of us. What should I do? I have never made a C since 5th grade anf back then they spanked me for it.

Question: Why does no one ever like me?

No one likes you" I have to sit alone at lunch, I sit with people and they move. I go home and get yelled at by my dad. He yells and yells. My mom gets angry. I go to my room and my dad tells at me for that. I go downstairs he yells at me for not having anything to do. I can not go anywhere

Question: Should I be concerned if a child appears traumatized after her parents killed her fish?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 08:46 PM PDT

A 7 year old girl in my after school daycare program has been shaking, anxious, and clingy all day. Her parents killed her goldfish after she frustrated them (not intentionally). She says that her parents will be purchasing more and will harm one each time she misbehaves as a "punishment". She has lots of symptoms of trauma and even asked how she can stop crying. Her parents get upset easily, and she is on her best behaviour just so the pets can live. I've read that people who harm animals may also start doing the same to humans. I'm worried about her safety and her emotional well-being. At this age, she should be taught that it's not okay to hurt animals and she should be protected from any harm. It's not illegal to kill a child's marine pets. Should I report this to authorities?

Question: How do I get my Mom back for not letting me see my Dad because he divorced her?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 08:04 PM PDT

She uses me for revenge and I am sick of it and feel my Dad and his family will think I don't love them. They do hate my Mom but for good reason, she says I must stick up for her and am wrong to want to see my Dad again.

Question: Am I keeping baby from her father ??

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:38 PM PDT

the baby is 7 months . her father does not make an initiative to see her or call me to see what she needs or how she is doing but his sister does. I let my daughter go on visits with his sister 3 months ago. she brought my daughter back after midnight both times and never told me where she was taking her or did not answer her phone when I told her before she left that I wanted the baby back by 8 pm. she would take the baby in the mornings to spends time with her so I told her have the baby back by 8 pm.after all these issues with dealing with his sister I told her she can t take the baby anymore because she takes advantage of me and doesn t follow my rules about my child. I never stopped them from coming over my house to see the baby. but the sister keeps saying I m keeping the baby away from her dads side of the family and refuses to come by my house to see her. am I keeping the baby from them or not ???

Question: No one seems to care about me?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:29 PM PDT

I know it's not really a question but I'm here to vent this is about the people who I live with which is with my mom and my brother my nephew comes over every other week he is 2 example let's say when he goes to sleep they tell.me to shut doors quietly I get it for him to stay asleep but they don't do it all the time my brother always wakes him up in the morning doing it, I get migraines here and there and sometimes it bugs me when he slams it if I ask him to stop he won't or if I ask them to do any favors I need advice on what to do here without starting an argue with them about it because it's not all about them it's not just that that bothers me there's other things they wouldn't do for me but if they asked me to do that stuff if I don't I'm sure they would be mad, don't tell me to move out I can't yet but I am trying I won't put my situation here unless asked it will be longer.

Question: My fault or my dad s fault ?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 07:11 PM PDT

Hi. I will prefer keeping my identity anonymous (including my age), but my dad is being a prick. He yells at me for simply taking a deep breath assuming I was groaning, and today he started yelling a lot because I was confused on what my phone provider was saying (didn t have the best handwriting). Honestly, I have gotten to the point where I mumble certain things under my breath when he doesn t hear me. I am so glad he s going for a week. But Is it really my fault or his fault? P.S I tell him I didn t groan and that I was simply taking a deep breath but he doesn t wanna hear it. Honestly, I try to be as nice as I can. Prepare the dinner table for him, help massage, and others, and he STILL yells way too much. Is it my fault? If it is, why? and if it was his fault, what can I do to prevent him from doing this?

Question: Why is it so hard to communicate with my parents?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:38 PM PDT

Ever since I moved out of my parents' place two years ago, I am having a very difficult time communicating with my parents. Since I work very long hours on weekdays and do community service on weekends, I don't have a lot of free time to do chores. So, my parents agree that they will help me with my ironing and cooking a few care packages. With shopping, laundry and cleaning my apartment, I have no problem doing myself. I tell that to my parents, but instead of just ironing my shirts and providing me the few care packages, they keep doing extra things. When my mom comes to my apartment while I'm at work to drop off the cooked food, she cleans the place and drops off a couple of things she picked up at the supermarket. I keep telling her to stop and that the ironed shirts and the cooked food is all I need. She keeps saying ok, but she continues doing those extra things all the times and it's frustrating me. All I need is the extra hand with the food and ironed clothes, but I don't need a maid to do all my chores and cleaning for me. I'm at the verge of telling them to stop with everything including cooking and ironing since I'm so mad that they can't get it right but I need the extra help since I have absolutely no time to cook all 7 days a week and iron clothes. That would literally make me work around the clock if I did that, but I might have to. I don't understand why it's so hard to communicate with my parents. Does anyone understand why?

Question: My fiancé has cancer and wants to move out of state to be near his family, I don't know how to tell him his family stresses him out?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:29 PM PDT

My fiancé and I live in Provo Utah, my fiancé moved here to get away from him s abusive amd toxic family. His saint of a mother moved to Utah to be near her only sane son after she was bought out from her home by his father. My fiancé and I love each other but his dad said that if he and I move back to Nashville he'll lease us a place to stay and he can get treated at several cancer treatment centers, I could get a job working in either Nashville or a surrounding town but his dad is abusive and his brother is mentally ill, so much to the point to where he had a double amputation for no reason. My fiancé has Chronic leukemia and I'm terrified about his health right now. His mother amd I are trying to convince my fiancé to stay in Utah because it might not be perfect but he'll be in a loving environment opposed to being with his dad and brother? How should I go about this. I want to provide more information in Utah we have the Huntsman cancer research institute, while in Nashville there is St. Thomas and Vanderbilt. I don't know what to do.

Question: My Dad just yelled at me because I told him I wanted to get a job.?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:17 PM PDT

I am 18. I have a car, I go to college, and I am on track to becoming a lawyer. I live with my parents. I told my mom I wanted to get a job at California Pizza Kitchen and she said okay, but when I told my dad the same, he flipped out. He owns a business technically, but he really is just a self employed lawyer that has work hours that bend to his needs. He got mad because I wanted to work at CPK, rather than at his work, but there are some problems for me. It would be an hour drive from my college to his work and with the traffic coming back to our house about another hour. I want a job that I know I can go to and work, and not have to worry about if he is going to work today. By the way, when I say flipped out, I mean he left my room, slammed the door, almost breaking it, and started yelling, I told him to talk to me rationally if he doesn't want me to work and he started yelling at me and that just kept happening for about 1 minute and he just left, still angry to go downstairs. Any advice? What do I do? Thank you

Question: Should I cut ties with my mother?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 04:13 PM PDT

I've been pushed to my edge now. I've tried over and over to find some type of peace between me and her, but it always rebounds back to the same idea of who deserves more respect. She's a narcissist who has no care for anyone else, but herself. She's told me that I caused her problems and I'm a bad person. She tries to shove Jesus down my throats saying that I'm a sinner and Jesus knows, but she won't admit that she has sinned. She is extremely controlling where she even tries to control what major, what college and what job I choose. At this point, I don't know what else to do. I know if I call her out on it, she'll try to rebound it back at me as being a bad son. Please help me.

Question: Why was my oldest nephew rude today?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 04:02 PM PDT

he asked for a ride to work today since his car isnt working still. and i heard him throwing up and coughing a lot. i was just coming from outside in the backyard playing with the cat paws and i had to dry my hands bc id just wash them and he was like "could you get out please" and i told him its not my fault youre feeling sick and throwing up so dont get mad at me. he acted like i was going to be in the bathroom forever when i wasnt going to. so his moms car was parked outside and i suggested he take the car to work bc i felt like he made he pick him up for nothing. he texted me saying "i cant stand the way you act sometimes" & "never talk to me ever again". what was his deal and why all of a sudden is he texting me and talking to me the way he did? so rude and uncalled for!

Question: What does it mean when my dad asks me "When will you shut up?"?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 03:47 PM PDT

My dad is emotionally abuse and mentally abusive towards me. When he gets mad at something rather it's my fault or not he will yell and me and tell me to shut up. I'm so tired of him yelling at me and telling me to shut up. He has told me sorry so many times and I don't believe it anymore. He makes me angry and cry. I am so nice to him and I buy him stuff for his birthday,father's day,and Christmas. He hardly buys me things. Honestly,I think I spend more money on him than he does me. Now I just feel like returning his birthday present back seriously. Cos I'm tired of him treating me like crap everyday. But of course I always get the blame for it. I do my best to be a good person but he still treats me this way. I don't know what else to do anymore. I'm 24 year old female and live at home because he said he wanted me to because he wanted to make my life better for me because I was in a program and I would have to keep getting new roommates,crappy roommates,having to move all the time,not having a lot of money,struggling to pay bill and having staff that would treat me like crap but not all the time and times when I couldn't go somewhere because my roommate wouldn't want to go because we shared a staff….then there was times that staff couldn't drive so I was stuck at home and sometimes all day. I was in Reshab. Now I'm in CFH. Seems know matter how nice I am to my dad he always get mad at me for things. He also slams stuff to and scares my chihuahua. Also he yells at me a lot too. I don't know what else to do. I'm getting a job hopefully soon and that still won't be enough for me to live on my own. My mom is my legal guardian and won't let me live on my own till I get a boyfriend. She is also my rep Pay-E. I will NOT live in a group home and I don't quilify for it. Not only that they would not allow me to have my dog and I refuse to get a rid of my dog at all! https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20171010224818AA5rqLX

Question: What's wrong with playing videogames on school days?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 03:09 PM PDT

For some reason my dad will not allow me to play video games during school days even though I still go outside with friend and have good grades in school. He even bothers me with it on weekends when I decide to play all day he says I'm addicted to them Even though I take breaks I like how he says I'm addicted to them because im on them all day but when I watch TV or movies he doesn't bat an eye he literally watches TV all day and when he can't he gets pissed like he yells through the house. Whenever I question him he just says stop being smart and it leads to an argument he can't simple answer a simple question as that. It's acceptable for me to watch propaganda on TV or watch videos on the internet but not a harmless video game

Question: Am I wrong for feeling the way I do?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 02:26 PM PDT

I don't like my sister. She's condescending and has no respect for me whatsoever. I'm the youngest in the family (15). So the rules around here are that I can't disrespect my elders no matter what. However she's the most degrading and rude person I've ever met. She calls me names, talks down on my personality, constantly criticizes me. However she's always trying to be involved in my life. She's always in my face. Always trying to start a conversation. Always trying to have a spot in my life but I don't like her. At all. I don't want anything to do with her. I want her to stay as far away from me as possible. My mom hates the fact that I don't like my siblings but I know the way I feel is justified. My mother always tries to guilt me into feeling like I'm wrong for not wanting a relationship with my sister despite how she treats me. Then my mom starts to act funny and standoffish because i establish that I don't want my sister in my life. Am I wrong ? Should I put up with her to make my mom happy? What do I do?

Question: Is my mom abusing me? [asap]?

Posted: 10 Oct 2017 02:24 PM PDT

she says i don't do anything. she's sick and she uses it against us. she often says she wants to kill herself right in front of me, and i attempted suicide in january. in the hospital she didn't ask how i was doing, she just stated how it affected the family. i guess she's nice though. she buys me things but maybe thats because she has a lot of money. shes breaking the law with some of her money the government doesnt know about. i feel like i'm worthless and i have bad grades. i'm afraid of her knowing my grades. she cries sometimes but i dont remember why. she opens my door and just stands there, not even closing the door. i'm afraid of leaving the house because i feel like she'll freak out. i always tell her when i go to check the mail. i have to buy everything online since she rarely takes my brother and i to the store. she buys my brother a lot of $60 games and i don't get a lot. i only got a lot because my birthday was on the 30th and she gave me a lot of money. when she's in a bad mood she says its because she's bipolar. when she argues i can never be right or wrong. she ruined my vacation and made me the bad guy because i couldnt call my sister on a cruise ship. my sister blocked my mom because she says that my mom is abusive. when i argue with my mom she yells at me for my rotten temper and either gets pissed and yells at me really bad or she strts crying. i want to go to a different home sometimes but i'm afraid to because i havent done chores often. i'm spoiled? update: i'm 15!
