Let me explain the situation we re in. Okay, so to get rid me and my two siblings, she lied about having cancer. We know this because she sent us a picture of her so called "cancer" or a picture from google. We are now living with our grandma and literally all the rest of our family. First of all, here s one reason i dislike my mom: She s abused me. When she hit me, i fought back and she bashed my head over and over on the wall. Should I tell someone? It was a year or two ago. Also, she moves us so often, we have no friends at all. My sister actually just went off on her over the phone and she threatened to take us back even though she KNOWS we love it here. I love it here for my family, school and even my new friends! Please help, I DREAD going back with her; I m only 14.

We have dated for about 18 months and for about the past 6 months I have noticed more and more things about him I don't like. Some things are small, other things are bigger. An example off a small thing is that if we have guests over it never enters his mind to offer them a drink. One time he went and got himself a drink but didn't offer anything to the guest. Which is just weird. Or for instance his big brother just got married and he didn't even buy a gift. There were other things surrounding that wedding that in my mind he should have done as a family duty to his brother but he doesn't think about it. I see now that he is spoiled. He lived in an apartment that is meant for his parents when they retire in a few years. He wanted a new kitchen installed in the apartment, that is not his by the way. I asked him: "Are you sure your parents can afford it? They bought this place a year ago and your brother just got married. I'm sure that was not cheap". But none the less the kitchen will be installed in a month. All of these things makes me thing he is unmanly. I feel like he should at least try to pay his own way. He is a grown man and he should know to read social codes by now. I think it's a big reason why he doesn't have many friends. I was always surprised by the difference between the two brothers. They are night and day. He is baby so he probably got more his way. I don't know how to talk about this. If I ask him to change is that fair of me?

My parents beats me when I was little, they're perfectionists, if we made a mistake we get punished, and when we are closed to making a mistake they punishes us too. My family immigrated to America when I was almost 12, before that, we live in Taiwan, and they used to beat my sis and I for everything. Now in America, she stopped beating us ever since our neighbors constantly hearing us screaming and called the police to check on us. Now when I ever I did something wrong or have any opinions, my parents called me autist, pig, low life, failed abortion, and whore etc. they've been calling me names for so ling (I'm 16) I really just want to run away. Every time I go on to social medias I see my friends having good times with their family, and just by seeing those pictures I just feel lonely. I'm trying my very best to impress my mom with my grades and sports, but when she sees other kids she just compares me to them, saying that she wishes she have other parent's kids. What do I do, I tried talked to my parents, and I tried everything my friends suggested. Please help

Your four cousins have mental illness & cannot live completely independantly. They live in a house that's paid off but need someone to pay taxes, mow the lawn, shovel the snow, manage their finances, etc. They're on disability & can afford to pay some rent. Would you be willing to step in and be their landlord/ caregiver? They'd otherwise be on the streets.

I came on vacation to my parents' house. I came last week, and I have literally not done anything else except look over my nephew. Everday this week, I picked him up, make him.do his homework, and wait until 10 pm for her to pick him up. Yesterday, she simply did not pick him up, and she still hasn't shown up to pick him up. When I came here to the city, I expected to spend time with my nephew, I never thought I'd be 24 hour nanny. Do you think is rude for my sister to make me watch over my nephew for so long?

She used to be friends with my Mom's sister then she left that friendship and became friends with my Mom. She gave my Mom a bunch of negative gossip about her sister thus furthering she and her sister's divide. She excluded my aunt from her wedding but had my Mom and Dad. It is an older person and 2nd wedding so I assume smaller wedding though I only know the woman a little. My aunt will likely be mad as they had been friends for years. How do I avoid losing a relationship with extended family members (my aunt and her kids) because of this trouble my Mom's toxic friend is causing? Not sure if gossip will arise at the women's wedding but my parents being there made me think about that.

I get out of bed at 5AM, and work 12-13hrs three days a week. When I leave, he is sleeping. He trashes the kitchen while I am gone. He is a hoarder, so he doesn't even want to throw away old mail, newspapers and pop bottles. I don't think its unreasonable for him to keep house, do dishes, vacuum, sweep out the garage while I am gone, dust and vacuum. He seems to think he worked for 40yrs and its his time to relax and he doesn't do anything unless I lose my crap and tell him he has to help, and then he occasionally washes dishes. I can't imagine living with a slob the rest of my life. We own a beautiful home, but he isn't willing to do his part. Any thoughts?

So my mom met this guy about almost a year ago, and she's been kinda siding with him rather than me, her own daughter. I'm 14 years old and i just feel so alone right now. I wake up she's on the phone with him i get home from school or she picks me up on the phone. Almost every weekend she hangs out with him and like it just hurts, anytime we spend time together he will call and she will just get up and leave to converse with him. I don't know how to approach my mom because she can be hostile (not physically) and just say i'm too sensitive. What can i do?

So my dad LOVES alcohol, beer etc. Since he got drunk all the time, we said he can only have 4 cans over the weekend and none in the week. He had 5, and hid another under his bed. He said it was an old one and I looked at the batch number with my mum and it was the same. He said he doesn't know why he lied blah BLAH BLAH excuses and bs. I want to tell him I don't forgive him, how?

I'm being treated like a 10 year old when I'm actually 15. Like, my parents have this rule where you cannot eat upstairs. More specifically, everyone but me can eat upstairs, and I was starving so I took A GRAPE and ate it. Then I got grounded for a week. Honestly, my parents don't trust me with anything. Another thing that really irritates me is that I haven't went to anyone's house for the past year. If I want to go to someone's house for just 2 hours, my parents need to have an hour long talk. Another thing that I can't stand is when a friend comes to my house. My mom would check up on us every five minutes and when we went outside she would STARE AT US FROM OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. When I got too close to the woods, she screamed at me to get back. When we just sat on the wet grass, she would scream at us to stand up. Another thing that is the num 1 worst thing is that they took away my computer. My grades are great, but if I want to do homework I need to go downstairs and use a computer that they won't even tell me the password for. If I want to do my homework, I need to go downstairs and ask to use the computer, and if I finish all of my work, then I need to find something to study. Are you bored? Go study for a nonexistent test! Also, if I protest and get emotional since I cannot handle their screaming and almost start crying, I get grounded. I GET GROUNDED FOR GETTING UPSET WHEN SOMEONE SCREAMS AT ME! Honestly, I'm so pissed. H E L P

My mother is suffering from high blood pressure because i commit unlawful acts and she's always worried about me.. I'm a grown man and i don't her worrying about me... I don't even live with her.. What could i do to help????..

I'm a woman. I have 20 year old son. He studies visual arts and he works a cashier at a small shop besides his studies. I'm really proud of him. He works hard, but he doesn't earn enough money to pay everything and he's still financially dependent on his father. The problem is that he wants to get married with an 18 year old girl. They're both young and none of them earn enough money for a new life. Me and my husband told our son that we disagree with him to get married and we even told him that if he wants to get married,he must leave us and find another house. I think what we told him was logical, because as someone who wants to "man up", he must first become independent.

I feel like I'm in some sort of messed up young adult fiction book. I'm 16 and my dad makes good money. Now that I'm turning 17 soon, my mother just started arranging dates for me with the son's of other rich men who're already over 17, one of them is even 28! I have NEVER met these guys before, all I know about them is their age and how much money they have. I'm so upset right now, my first 'arranged meeting' is tomorrow for dinner, and my mother is forcing me into a tight dress and high heels. I can barley even walk in them, this all feels so wrong but I'm scared I'll upset them or make them angry if I say anything (e.g. "We worked so hard to give you this life" etc. etc.). What do I do...?

my mom is bipolar and also has chronic pain, i live with her. i've had a boyfriend for a little over 4 months. we spent the majority of the summer together and school started about 2 months ago, around the time he started working, so i've been spending alot less time with him. i've spent the night at his house multiple times (with permission) but last night, he got off work, came to my house and we both fell asleep. i hadn't asked my mom if he could stay so when i woke up this morning she was mad. she was also mad because she is out of her pain pills so she's irritable. she thinks i don't respect her at all just because i didn't ask her if he could stay the night. she said i couldn't see him today, only on sundays and wednesdays if he goes to church with us and we can have "friday night date nights" she's forcing religion on him by making him go to church or he can't see me. is she being fair or am i right by saying she's being irrational? she says she's shortening our time because she's said yes too much. (btw my parents are divorced and my dad lives in flordia(while we're in oklahoma) so going somewhere or having space isn't an option when we fight, she won't even let me leave the house when we fight. )

I just got a text and she died in a car crash around 10PM last night. It is 5:30 in the morning I don't know what to do, I am shaking. I was never particularly close to my sister as she was blunt and sometimes mean but it is still family. My parents will be non-functioning now. I feel like I am losing parents and sister. I am in shock. I just found out an hour ago and now I see a thing on the TV (news). What do I do? I live 2 hours away and my brothers I assume are already over, one lives with them. The sister was 23. What do I do? The text was from my parents how do I respond.

I'm a 20 year old male. I have 30 year old brother. As an older brother, I always show respect towards him. Our father died when I was only ten and since then, he found a job to support me and my mother. He helped me a lot to enter into university. I'm studying dentistry. I owe him everything I have. Yesterday, me and my brother were talking about future. I told him that I want to find a job and work besides my education, so that I won't be dependent on my brother anymore. But suddenly, my brother got angry and he smacked me on my face! He yelled at me and he said:"I raised you and now, you don't want me to support you?! You're really ungrateful! How can you continue your education, while you want to work?! You're an idiot!". I didn't say anything to him, but he kept on yelling at me.

I m 20 and I m turning 21 in April, I am the oldest. I have a two brothers one of the age 13, the other 9, and my sister turning 4 in a few days. We don t have family it was just us. I am very mature for my age I dont do drugs, I have a job and i have 9 months left of school i will sacrifice anything for my siblings i love them very much and will do anything to raise them right and help them achieve their goals. I want full custody of the three of them i refuse to let them go in a foster home, my brother(13) and i were put in one when we were younger and i was molested and he was beaten while being in the care of people who were suppose to provide a safe home for us. When i lived with my parents a cooked, helped with their homework, teached the two boys how to be self sufficient (Do their laundry, wash dishes, clean their rooms), always tried to attend their school meetings. My point is my mother wasn t the best mom, she wasn t perfect and that s ok she did the best she could where she lacked i came in. Please I m scared i just lost both of my parents i need some guidance, i am being strong for my siblings. Thankyou.

I am 13 years old and I live with my dad. My dad is super no strict, he will just yell at me and lecture me but never punish. Untill yesterday that he told me that I am going to stay grounded. I lied to him being to my football practice while I was at cinema with friends. He found out when he saw my texts that I had forgot to delete. When I came home last night he was not angry. He gave me a big lecture and told me he was upset with me and eventually that i will stay grounded. He took away my phone,my computer and tv and he doesnt allow me to leave the house. I have some extra chores also. Its kinda weird cause I have never been in this situation again. To tell the truth I feel kinda bored and my brother says that it will get worst day by day. Im using my brother's phone for posting this. Please suggest me some ways so I could have fun while being grounded!! I will be really thankful Sorry for any grammar mistakes english is not my native

im 16 and i really need things like clothes because most of mine don't fit anymore. I tell my parents that and they refuse to get me any and say I don't deserve anything. I get pretty good grades, I watch and raise their son, as they work from 2pm to 11pm pretty much everyday. I make dinner, do dishes, make sure the house stays clean, walk dogs.They don't pay me for anything either. Its not like they don't have money. My dad buys packs of beer every single day pretty much and usually buys himself things he honestly doesn't need like stupid stuff that he collects and wastes his money on a lot of raffle things. then tells me its his money and he can do what he wants with it which I understand but he stills needs to put his children first though. And my mom just doesn't say anything and pretty much goes along with him. I really want to get a job but its so hard as I watch my brother all day long and I cant leave him alone and I have applied to places and I keep applying but nobody calls me. Also my birthday just past and i didn't even want presents from them i just wanted clothes or a few necessities i need to get but they didn't do anything they didn't even get a card or nothing. Im not trying to be selfish I just really need things and don't understand why they refuse to get me anything.

Your four cousins, siblings, have mental illness & cannot live completely independantly. They need someone to help manage their finances, mow the law, shovel the driveway when it snows, etc. They live on a home that's paid for but they cannot care for it and someone needs to pay taxes. They are on disability and can pay some rent. Would you be willing to step in as a landlord/caregiver? They would otherwise be on the streets.

I'm very tired because I'm a SAHM and husband works long hours. My father and his wife are very active and early 50's. I think they just feel it's more convient for me to visit them. I explain it's hard to pack and bring her down but they don't get it. I'm only sleeping 3-6 hours nightly for weeks and find it bad to drive when I'm super tired.

I have been offered a job in a major city in the south that I feel would be great to raise family. Also we both have extended family members in that area. She doesn't seem that she wants to make the move. I do not want to be the one having to always deal with her complaints/having to convince her it was the right move, since this move is totally about the vision for my family. We live in the Bay Area and we both agree that it would be best to raise a family else where. Both of our families are in the midwest and I am dead bored of the midwest and the city her family is in; it is a MAJOR city. I do like her family to some extent, her dad can be overstepping, and I can only imagine it getting worse. Neither of us have job offers in her family's city. I have attempted multiple times. I don't think she has applied to any openings there.

I recently moved countries to finish high school, first time Im living without my parents and its miserable. Also the problem isnt only me missing them, im always crying for some reason after starting school, i can't sleep right ,lost interest in almost everything, lost my apetite. I dont know if I should move back with them or continue studying here because they spent so much money on me when I moved here. Should I just deal with it for a few more years or move back?

I know I m a teenager and teenagers don t like their parents but my dad in particular always disrespecting his parents like they didn t give him life, a place to live and pay for his ******* college tuition and when I give attitude to him (in a much lesser tone then he does with his parents) he thinks it s wrong... tf like I don t even give him that much attitude only when he s being ACTUALLY RACIST or ACTUALLY IDIOTIC like honestly how tf you expect me to respect you if you can t even respect the people who gave you ******* university tuition money and a house for majority of his life gtfo

My friend is almost 25 years old she's crazy. When she first moved in with her aunt she dated her aunts brother which is pretty much her uncle or her cousin then she married him and had a kid with him. She was only 19 when she did that. They were only married 2 years I knew they wouldn't last he was way too old for her he was 30 maybe 40 something. Then she dated 2 of her cousins for a while now she's starting to get a little better she has a new guy now they been married for a year she has her daughter from her previous marriage and she and him have a son together. Her parents kicked her out when she was 16 she was 17-18 when she moved in with her aunt. What's wrong with her ? Is it normal to date and marry your family members ? Also what is your aunt's brother called ?

I am a single mom, and my 12 year old daughter and i are very close. while we are hanging out at home she will talk to me while on social media. she claims she can talk to me and be on her phone at the same time. I feel like I am living with half of a daughter

I'm not a parent, but what would you do if you found your teenage son or daughter naked in bed with their boyfriend/girlfriend? Even if it was after they got caught multiple times?

So my friend is really sick and her family won t let her leave her room to get the medicine she can t open. Her family also forces her to school when she s sick and had countlessly times grounded her because she is giving an aditude to her parents on accident. Her family has gotten me and her into emotional breakdowns many times before and I m worried for her, I have no clue if this is metal abuse but I think it s a type of it

My Mom sadly keeps me away from everyone and hurts me to get them back.

This is kinda a strange question and it s just something that s on my mind and may actually happen. Let s say, not so hypothetical, a father had been a deadbeat for 12 years. The daughter is now 18 and is beginning to have sexual attractions to her father. Should the father give in or deny it? Which would be healthier?

Like the cousin hadn't eaten in 4 days so she called me for food. Or she couldn't pay her electric bill so she asked me if I could one time. This cousin's mother resents her because she is not as gifted as her sister. They grew up with a Dad that was an alcoholic, severe, so it was unstable. One sister turned out wonderful and one struggled more. The one who struggled more is considered horrible by her own mother so I feel for her. My aunt, her mother, is a very bitter person.

I have a 15 year old daughter who she is rude to, she's rude to me. I told her she's very disrespectful to me and she said I don't have to respect me because you're only my step brother.

so i pulled an all nighter to write my essay that i will be dropping off at 7 am and then right after it i will go to my mothers house to take care of her since she's ill my siblings and i are taking turns and today is mine how can i survive not just physically but mentally as well i can be pretty rude when sleepy and i don't want to let it out on my sick mother other than drinking caffeine are there any tips i could use?

She's been asking to get her cartilage pierced and I said no. You need someone over 18 to sign for you if you're a minor. She is a dancer and went with two older girls and got it done. She knew I woudnt approve and did it anyway. What should I do?

I just received a text from my dad reading: "#mylittleponymovie". I can only assume he wants to see it, so I think it's time to disown him. I don't really know how this works, so I'm asking on here. Is anyone willing to adopt a 6'ft tall grown adult? I'd prefer it if he went into a loving home with pets, if possible. He enjoys cooking, and is pretty good at it too. He'll take care of the kids for free. To keep him occupied just turn on some Youtube or Netflix and he'll be set. Make sure to feed him lots of spinach and pressed juice. If anyone's up for adopting him, hmu. I can't have a brony for a dad.

My boyfriend walk around naked in front of his mother and sister. He says it's family, nothing sexual, and cool. But he has tanned muscular body and above average size penis. I dont know if any woman see it as non-sexual object. Besides, I saw a picture of his father when he was young and they look very similar. So I just wonder how the mother feels seeing him naked. Is it stupid thought?

Hello. I am a 12yo sister of a spoiled teen brother. My brother is 18yo, and selfish. He eats all the food in the fridge/cupboard, when he is asked to buy stuff from the shops, he always takes out more than he needs, and keeps the the rest for himself. He doesn't have a job because he doesn't have a birth certificate, and he blames mother for not being able to afford one because he keeps taking money out of her account. The problem with him eating all of the food in the fridge/cupboards is that we are usually left hungry and broke because we rarely have any money to buy food. When we do though, it is usually gone in the next couple of days. Sometimes he invites his friends to the house, and steals the parents' smokes and lighters so his friends can stay for longer and not leave him 'lonely'. Even though he says nobody cares about him, he's lying because the we are just downstairs, and are willing to talk to him, but he prefers to stay in his bedroom and go to the gym. He had gone to the UK recently for a holiday, costing around $12,000, and I had asked mum if she could buy something for me and my little brother, and she accepted. When she had come back, however, I got my gift, but my little brother's wasn't. Mum said that she had given my little brother's gift to my older brother so he could give it to him. Turns out he had taken it for himself, and left my other brother crying. Please help, I don't know what to do - do I contribute or just stay in the shadows? Thanks!

Not my kids, not my problem. I have two biological siblings, I don't need them. And btw, yes, I am selfish. Sue me.

Nobody in my family has green eyes.

These two cousins are on my Mom's side.

Guys. I'm 21 and a university student. I'm on my second to last year of studying and then after that I can move out of home. I have a sister who's 4 years younger than me and I've never have a great relationship with her. For as long as I can remember she's always stolen my belongings (including money) and CUT/ ruined clothes of mine for literally no reason! Everytime I tell my parents they don't do a thing! So after years of this I've stopped telling them! So recently she cut my favourite pants for NO reason (like a month or two ago). I was so upset because I work and buy all my belongings and they're so special to me. When I told my parents what she'd done they said 'oh no it can't be her, she's so nice to you, it just have been a ghost'! They actually blamed a ghost! So me being TIRED of it, I decided instead of always doing nothing I wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. So I took a ring of hers she had bought and I flushed it down the toilet. When she asked where it was I was going to just say I don't know like she always does. Well me being unused to being a devious person, I didn't get rid of it enough and it was still in the toilet after I flushed and she found it! Lol. She was like why did you do that, and I said 'oh so you don't like people ruining your things but you think it's okay to do it to others?' And then she told my parents and they were SO ANGRY WITH ME! My mum even said I have a bad heart!!!! It makes me so depressed and angry that they are so receptive to her complaints and they attack me but with her she always gets away with doing bad to me! I'm so sick of it and it makes me cry so much. How do people deal with such a sister? just wish I had a normal sister who didn't feel the need to be a pathological liar who just lies and ruins my things for no reason! Guys when she stole money from me and I found it in her purse my parents literally did not care when I told them! My mum never said she had a bad heart but I'm attacked for what? It makes me depressed :( I never want to do the same to her because I believe in karma, but honestly she always gets treated well and I never really do... I've tried to be kind to her. Last year I gave her $100 for her birthday and after that she stole money from my purse! She even calls me poor and still stole from me! This year I gave her 2 MAC foundations (we live in New Zealand and they're quiet expensive for me, like $130 for two) and she cut my pants after that. I'm really sad it makes my heart sore.

I didn't see the good aunt who was hear last weekend because she was busy.

He is traveling to the Grand Canyon for the holiday weekend with my 3 brothers and last summer took them to Europe for 4 weeks. Never has he asked me. My Mom and I are at home and forgotten. It really, really hurts. I am the "other" forgotten child. It hurts. My Mom understands but he won't change. My brothers don't care about me either. Mom and I spend each weekend alone while Dad and my brothers go on adventures. My Dad's facebook page is full of pictures of his exciting adventures with my brothers. I am not in a single picture except the Thanksgiving Day group picture. When I complained he blocked me on there. I am so hurt. What do I do? How do I get over the rejection? I don;t think he hates me or anything, I am just that other person in the room. He doesn't know me enough to hate me. Nor do my brothers. I feel like the family is just my Mom and I.

If I don't do what they tell me do . For instance like go to the mall with them . Or go outside with them . They threaten to call the mental hospital on me . Or kick me out of the house . They blame me for all their problems . They constantly put me down . Call me a failure . Tell me that nothing good is going to come out of you . Tell me that In the future your going to be homeless . Call me mental , crazy , psycho , loser , lunatic ,stupid , sensitive . And they humiliate me in front of everyone . When I'm in public or with my relatives . it doesn't matter . Make decisions for me . Even if its simple ones . Like for instance they tell what kind of starbucks drink would you like? I tell them caramel frappe . They tell me its better to get a hot chocolate .They never listen to my decisions . They make fun of my problems . If I could I'd run away from them .

Okay so i'm 14 years old, i get good grades and i don't cause any trouble at home or school. I feel like my mom is kind of mean to me sometimes. Like to the point where i start crying and i start feeling sad at random times. Even though my brother is the oldest, he has the least responsibilities in the house. ex: my mom could see that the kitchen is dirty, she'd walk right past his room to come upstairs to mine and tell me to clean the kitchen before i go to bed, and if i tell her i have a lot of work to do she'll get mad and tell me that she is more stressed and tired and that school isnt that big of a deal. Another thing is that she could be angry about something and take it out on me and my sister. Her and my dad are constantly saying how i don't like them and that im rude, and rules that apply to me don't apply to my brother and i feel its unfair. If i say even look "mad" or sound mad she'll get upset and not talk to me at all, and if i try to talk to her she'll just look at me until i say something. if i ask to go somewhere she'll tell me that i had an attitude for the whole day and that only when i need something i come to her, sometimes she ignores me. like if shes mad at me she'll get my brother and dad something to eat, but leave me and my sister out. I feel like she never tries to understand how hard it is for me, i already hate school and now i'm starting to hate being at home, i really don't know what to do and i don't want to deal with this over and over.

I am a father of 7 years girl. I love her sooo much. Now I got a better job offer but in another location where I can't take my family with me. I am so confused to take the better job and leave my daughter or stay with the current job and with my daughter.. I cant stand to see her crying or feeling sad.. Please Help ?

So, for the longest time, I had my mom set up as my beneficiary, you know how your work place has you fill out the forms and everything. So, my parents are both in their 60's now, my brother is a couple of years younger than me, my sister is like 8 or 10 years younger than me, and I have a niece and nephew who are 14 and 15 respectively. I know you can choose anyone as your beneficiary. I want to put down my niece and nephew, but what I want to know, is that a wise thing to do? They are still young, and have their whole lives ahead of them, which is why I want to put them both down on the form. But, at the same time, isn't there some sort of responsibility that comes along with being a beneficiary?
