I feel so ashamed to be associated with someone like this and embarrassed. She is otherwise a wonderful mother.

Mom won't let me tell any of my friends but I had to tell one cause my Dad was outside in his underwear drunk. My Mom insists its a secret so I lie for them and tell people he works for Apple as a tech but he lost that job 7 years ago and has been unemployed ever since. My Mom's parents may for everything for us. I am really scared some of my friends will find out my lies and not like me anymore. I want to go to this place AlaTeen but my Mom won't let me. My cousins go as their Mom is an alcoholic. What do I do? I am 14 and a freshman in high school.

My Dad is an only child and his parents have died. My Mom and Dad had a fight with my Mom's side of the family. As a result we are not welcome at Thanksgiving and Christmas anymore. This will be the 3rd year. First year I figured it was a childish one time thing by both sides of the fight. Year two it hurt so much I wanted to commit suicide. This year I am fearing the same pain and already beginning to feel it. Since my grandparents have died the aunts travel to their in-laws at Christmas so that holiday is not nearly as painful though it is painful (there is one uncle who has three kids I used to know). How do I cope with this unbearable pain? I miss the days of an extended family and we have none now. A number of my cousins have even unfriended me or blocked me on Facebook. Some have me on there but have declined anytime I have offered sports tickets. I differ with both sides in the fight as I believe in forgiveness and neither of the two sides do. I know they must dislike me cause of a long tradition in my Mom's family of disassociating oneself with the children of an enemy. It hurts so much and I dread what is supposed to be a joyful time of the year. It also makes me miss my grandparents so much. I can't cope, how do I?

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. His Dad said he will help with bills and insurance if we stay in Utah. His one brother is mentally unstable. How can I convince my fiancé that it's less stressful for him to stay in Utah and get treatment than to move to Nashville get stressed and that will affect his health.

my mom somehow found out i had a boy over without a parent being home and i feel awful bc she is so disappointed and i have lost her trust once again. i feel like such an awful daughter but i feel like i'm still young and i'm gonna make mistakes i just don't want her to hate me

I found my brothers diary he started when he was 13 and read "today I lost it with my sister, my point was right but my actions were wrong, I am starting this journal to stop this happening again", I had to read them all, I read about how Dad abused him and how he felt after arguments, he also showed how much he cares about us all and how much he loved sport but Dad would ruin it calling him names, one day his manager had a fight with Dad over it and I read how the talks with his manager changed his life.I saw Mam and Dad dragged him to anger management and how this made him feel and how college effected him, he left college as Dad gave him such a hard time about paying for it and how Dad used to call him a sponge even though he worked every weekend, I read how he worked so hard to save his own money to put himself through college and pay back mam and dad, how his girlfriend got told she had 14 weeks to live and how he took out a student loan to help her travel before she died, how he never told us as he didnt want us to hurt, how he became lonely and isolated over long weekend work and all that was going on in his head, how he nearly killed himself, how he secretly got mental help, how he put aside a savings fund for our little brother so he could pay for his college and how he still cries at night alone in bed. I used to tell everyone I had such a bad brother when infact hes a hero, he loves us, hes only 21 he always has a smile, how can i thank him and tell everyone.

He and I broke up 2 months ago and I started going to church and found him staring at me 2 weeks in a row so I texted him but he said he was offended which is why it wouldn't work and why he wouldn't allow himself to have feelings for me again. I didn't respond. I've been going to church since then it's been almost a month, and he continues to constantly stare at me to the point that my friends and family notice. What does this mean? does he still have feelings? friends and family say he stares I don't stare or look at him and have give him a dirty look a couple times

I think ridiculing is the right word to use. Anyway what I mean is that I have to keep whatever happens at my job a secret because whatever she finds out she badgers me about it. Like for example My aunt got me a job at a discount store. I've only worked 2 weeks and im still pretty slow about it trying to figure out how to do it right, Well the manager told me aunt, my aunt told my mom and now she wont stop telling me " You gotta work faster youre too slow. you gotta hurry up or theyll fire you". Even in my other job whenever she picks me up and she happens to hear someone from work tell me something shes " What did she tell you? Tell me. What was she talking about to you? Did you do something wrong?" or someone asks me to go to the back with them " Why did you go to the back? What happened? did you get in trouble?" I always have to lie if something did go wrong because I know she will say something like " Got written up for a short in your drawer? You have to pay attention!( goes on telling me how i should be handing out the money)" And then wont stop telling me to pay attention to what im doing. It drives me crazy and i feel like if i say anything shell give me the whole ok fine I wont say anything to you anymore guilt trip. What should I do?

I live with my brother and sister in law. My brother is away on business so it's just us and my 3 year old niece right now. My sister in law is extremely protective of me. So the other night I snuck a boy into our house ( now we had no plans of doing anything) and we were watching a movie. So we both fell asleep just to be woken up by my sister in law around 2.30. She was pissed. She didn't kick him out but made him sleep in one of the guest rooms. Usually I don't lock my door but last night I did incase she came to tell me something I had time to hide him in my closet. For some reason when my sister in law gets up during the night shell check on my niece and I to make sure everything is all right. However, she actually went to her bedroom got the key to my door and came back! Now my phone is being taken away during the night! It's not fair.

My older sister is 20 and she doesn't do anything all day. She sleeps until 1pm, and a regular day consists of browsing on her laptop, playing video games, and watching shows until she sleeps and repeats. It wasn't always like this, she went to a respected college, and was living in her own apartment and got a job as a vet tech. She had great grades, and after her first year she stayed there to take extra classes in the summer but in the middle of that she decided she wanted to go travel the world and 'Try to make it a Living with her photography' and so.. literally off she went. Where did the money come from... our parents and her bf. So she was gone for like a year or so traveling and living abroad. Apparently something happened and so she decided to come home (it's been almost a year since she's been back). So for almost a year she's been doing absolutely nothing. My parents don't meddle much with her and ultimately either 1) have given up and don't care or 2) just can't be bothered. Before my sister went to college my father used to tell her she was stupid for going to THAT school and not another BETTER school, and she would never own up to anything. My sister still blames him for things and they have a super estranged relationship. My mom on the other hand supports my sister with everything but made her feel guilty for leaving (to school and abroad) but now we have the opposite problem in that she doesn't GO or do anything! btw the only "good thing" she does is clean the house and do dishes (only 1x a week so not really helpful..). she SOMETIMES cooks. but other than that she does nothing. no laundry, no bills (no job!). she says she's gonna leave back to traveling / living abroad whenever our aunt passes (she's not doing well and probably doesnt have much time left maybe a few years maximum) anyway, they are close and yes she does take care of her and see her often. but to me, sounds like excuses. what should i do btw she is NOT depressed, she's been depressed before like 5 years ago and she is not depressed now. she just spends her time looking at photography related things but does NOTHING to actually start or even practice?! yeah she could be "learning" but not really.. she's got expensive equipment thats just collecting dust, (to me, it feels like a waste). she just says she wants to stay here for her aunt and then when she passes she will continue doing what she wanted to do/ etc.

My sister just now asked me... what she's taking out on me... I told her that you can sit there and say whatever it is that you want... But here's what you're mad at me for.... You're mad at me because I don't have a normal economic life... I have what the government has stuck in their heads that they refuse to get out of their heads and that leaves me looking after myself... but I can't help it. I gotta look after myself with that child's allowance I get. You're mad at me because dad was a old man who had old man views and his mouth didn't come with all the bells and whistles as you want. You're mad at me because you lost custody of your kid. You're mad at me because you're a woman in a world where men operate the cranes, steam rollers, trucks, planes, ships and rockets and submarines and the majority of the guns. In short...You're mad at me because your name is Sharon Evans and not Ivan Drago, Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa or Clubber Lang or Bill Goldberg or Kevin Nash. Lol You're mad at me, because you ran away from home at 14 years old and it wasn't the golden key to the world that thought it was. You're mad at me, because Dad chose a disaster for a wife, even though she's our mom.... her family life growing up was too much to deal with and pop did it anyway at the COST of our peril. You're mad at me because mae is a creepy who is dangerous to rely on. That's what you're mad at me about. Everything else is bullish!t.

My father is weird and hes a freak. He tells me nothing about my origin and he refuses to say anything about me that would be telling me anything to help, or have a mark of giving away any information at all about how to be a man. What can i do? Can anyone help?

Amy and Beth are cousins. Amy has a son called Charlie and Beth has a son called Derek. Is Charlie Beth's second cousin or Derek's? And how does the "once removed" thing work?

I live in Australia, and my life isn't that great. Like i'm going to be completely honest I'm pretty known outside of school but hated inside school and would rather cry myself to bed than go to school, my dad isn't even the best either. My mum wants me to get into something and i chose acting and in Australia it's really hard to make it, like i'm not saying Holy **** i'm gonna be famous but like moving to america would give a huge chance and would be so much better. Plus i have friends in america, and everything in america is so much cheaper compared to australia and i'm not the richest either. I would so love a fresh start but i don't know what my Mum would say. I've dreamed of living in the US for ages and like i'm walkthrough myself the pros and cons of moving i just wanna know how to convince my mum to move

I got in touch with a long lost cousin and she ignored me at first but when I invited her brother and his family for a meal at a 5 star hotel I was staying at she suddenly rang me up and said yes she'd love to see me and that I'm like her sister. She comes the next day and brings her husband, her adult kids, her brother, his wife and their son then at the restaurant they all ordered expensive lamb dishes with lots of starters too. The whole thing added up to $200 and they left before the bill arrived and never offered to split it. After the meal she said she'll love to invite me and my family for dinner at her house and that she'll text me her address, she never did! When I tried to call her I couldn't get through. I felt so used.

im 27 unmarried girl hailing form india.I happen to join my fathers instituition and im not doing much and niether did i get trained or given any ideas by my father as to what the current process of the school and college is.On the other hand i have no friends and after joining my fathers instituition i literally put an end to my own career (because i can no longer have a job.There are many reasons behind this). NExt they keep talking about gettin me married and im like how the hell can i marry some unknown person.Of lately my cunning elder sister too has started visiting us more and its only after she fights with my father did he start to give me some training. But again on the other hand i have to sit with them for prayer and do other things since im dependent on THEIR job. Ive literally been suicidal and depressed after my breakup which happened in2014 and was THE reason why i didnt have a steady job experience (because i made big mistakes, and my parents didnt knew of this). Now at my dads instituition im the youngest along with one teacher and i travel on a scooter and now im completely irritated on the fact that nothing they give is ever unconditional.

I have a very tiny 4.5 year old, she is about the average size of a 2 old. She also has an extensive history of medical problems (including 2 kidney transplants). I got a call yesterday around 1pm to pick her up from school, she'd fallen asleep in class and was struggling to wake up (would fall straight back asleep after being woken). My neighbour took her home as I was working, she slept all day. I came home around 4pm and woke her up. She was super groggy and just wanted to nurse (yes, I am still nursing her). She fell asleep again while nursing. Around 7pm I woke her again and the same thing happened, she nursed and fell back to sleep. She then slept right through the night. She woke up around 6:30am, nursed and straight back to sleep. It's now 10:30am. She doesn't have a fever, no flu symptoms, no sore stomach, no sign of being sick - just sleeping a ridiculous amount. I think it's gone on too long to just assume she is exhausted? Do I need to take her to A&E? Does anyone have any idea what this might be about?

My parents have ruined my social life and several of my relationships. We are required to go out of town every weekend and of course past boyfriends and friends were only available on weekends. That's lead to losing contact with people and severe friction in serious relationships. My fiance recently left me because of my overbearing parents. If I rebel even a little bit my mother assaults me and/or teams up with my dad to verbally abuse me. I don't know what to do. I can't afford to move out because I'm a full time student. I have no self esteem and everyone I've ever cared about is gone because I'm not allowed to go out. What do i do?

Whenever they are with our brother ,they post it on social media but whenever my sister and i are with them ,nothing ? Ive never understood it . I tag him when we are together thinking maybe he will me but no. Its not that big of a deal but i feel like my brother means more to him than i do ?

Hello I've been having my brother live with me for awhile now to help him through tough time he was having. Well it's been 2 years he's gotten past his problems now he won't pay rent and already ask him to leave but he won't. It's nothing but problems between us and even though my brother and love him It's time for him to go. Any advice on how can start legally removing him since won't leave willing. I live in Illinois.

I'm due to go in for a C-section on Wed. My dad flew out to "help" finish up with preparations (we just moved), and adjust to the kids (who are 3 & 4). Since he arrived, all he has done is caused me more stress by constantly being underfoot, sitting around doing nothing or sleeping all day. Not to mention, criticizing every little thing from how we parent our kids to how disorganized our home still is. It's like he's a kid himself. Our 4 year old told him to go home. She cries every time I leave the room, which our 3 year old has now started doing. I'm already on ML, and hubby is working up until Wed. Now he can't wait to leave and has been pouting all morning because he can't understand why our 4 year old is afraid of him. I explained that she's 4 and very timid. She needs time to adjust, and the best thing to do with her is to engage her in an activity to distract. He refuses to do any of that because he believes it's forcing her to do something. And seeing him spank our 3 year old (which was unnecessary) didn't help here either. He understands that he's the problem, but doesn't understand why a 4 year old is afraid of him or why he's stressing me out. How can I explain to him that there are other ways to help (i.e. doing his dishes, or making his own food)? Anything I say, he'll just take offensively. He's actually worse than the kids at times. Even hubby (who's the most patient person I know) says he's like a child. He complained that our 4 year old is putting him in an awkward position. He wants to go back home, so I agree to change his flight. He's upset that hubby is staying neutral on the situation. He says his feelings are hurt that our 4 year old won't come to him. I tried to tell him she's just 4, let it go and move on. But telling her he wasted him time coming out to see the family is only going to make it worse.

In the morning, my father called us into the living room and started questioning both my little brother (14 years old) and I (19 years old) if we stole a large amount of money that we never knew he had. He kept asking us If we stole money from him and started telling us that we did steal that money since we are the only ones living there and no one else can. I asked what money he was talking about, and then all of a sudden he goes into his room and pulls out a white tube sock full of 100 bills. He told us that another one was missing with more money. I started telling him that we didn t know that there was money inside the sock or that he even had that at all, but he was so frustrated and stubborn that he couldn t be convinced. I know this seems made up but this is an actual event that happened today in the morning and he just won t consider other possibilities. I don t want to lose my relationship with my father and it is too soon for my little brother to lose his. I just don t know what to do.

The holiday season started on October 1st, and I usually love this time, but recently the holiday season has become more centered around my sister than it's been in the past. For my entire life I've been jealous about her having a Christmas birthday, because she gets twice the amount of gifts that I do, also she has lots of friends here, so she gets tons of attention. Mine is after the holidays on January 8th, which is cold and boring. Nothing special about that day. I've lost all of my friends, so I just sit at home and watch YouTube videos. She now has a successful career and a boyfriend who has a birthday in October and their anniversary is on Thanksgiving. What am I doing? Struggling being a lonely undergraduate who may or may not finish on time. I have no friends, only family to hang out with during the holidays, and even our family is a bit broken be of struggles I've had growing up. How can I fighy depression during the holidays? I want to love them, but I've been given many low cards?

I'm a high school varsity cheerleader. My brother likes to wear my uniform around the house, and he plans to wear it tomorrow night for Halloween. But he always gets a b0ner when he wears it.

My step dad will jokingly slap my butt to joke around, sometimes in public and people just stare is that weird? i dont think it is, he's just playing around

She's always screaming at me and makes it seem like I'm always doing something wrong. This morning she was screaming at me so I started bawling (I'm not a crybaby, it takes a lot for me to break) and she didn't even care, she just kept on yelling at me. I cant stand being around her anymore, it's awful. I was about to ask my dad if I could sleepover at his house on a school night. I really don't want to be with her, what do I do?

About a year ago my brother moved about an hour away from my hometown. He and his wife built a house and had a baby. I of course understand that the baby takes priority. But on top of that I know that my parents don't really like my girlfriend. We have dated for 3 years. I just feel like we are losing touch. I talked to my brother about it. We don't have the best connection but I wanted to be candid about it. He got a little angry at me and said: "Your issue is that you are jealous. I haven't been home for real in 10 years. Even when we were kids you would get jealous if you didn't get attention. When I finished college all of a sudden you felt ill. When I got married you got depressed. When it's not about you for a period of time something always happens. What will it be this time? I mean this in all sincerity. It's time to grow up. As for your gf, that is none of my business. If you are happy with her then I happy for you. But let me ask you this. Your family doesn't get along with her, I know that you have lost many friends since you started dating her. Do you maybe think that there is a pattern here? Maybe the rest of us see something you don't? But you asked for my opinion so I will give it. Break up with her and move away from here. There is more to life then this small town" First off I do not fall ill whenever it's about him. And it' not fair off him to belittle depression. I just want to be close to my family like we were before. What is wrong with that?

Should i tell my siblings? i don't know how it got on my search history, but I'm almost sure its him because it had searched my dads favorite things to do while there. Please someone help. By the way I'm 15. He is also a really great dad

So I moved from my hometown to another state 8 months ago to live with my dad and his family and everything is just wrong.. (keep in mind I've never met my dad or his side of the family) I don't feel connected with anyone here, and I'm so depressed to the point where I want to take my own life...so much has happened idk what to do because everyday it's always something new. My grandma is bipolar and treats my cousins better than me she's called me a ***** and has even threatened to kill me. There was one incident where my aunt punched me because I told her there was bed bugs in the bed she set up for me and insisted that they weren't bed bugs..everyone thinks I'm crazy and they keep telling me like they're not bed bugs when clearly they are because the room is not infested with a lot of them it's just a few here and there but I have bites all over me and I know what they look like...but idk what to do I'm stuck here it's either stay here and try to save enough money to move out, leave and be homeless or take my life I'm really serious I'm just mentally tired... but I just don't understand the evilness that goes on why is this happening to me?? I've never really felt loved and I'm really considering suicide I'm tired of being hurt and taking everyones crap

Hi do you know anyone who had to live away from their parents for more than 10 years for some reason? and why? did they go back to their parents?

You must be thinking that I m picky or my standards are too high but literally that s not the case. It s not even about a guys looks for me. I m a "pretty" girl and I m not saying it arrogantly, but only because that s what people always say to me when they show shock or concern that I ve never had a boyfriend. The truth is that no guy in any of my classes or surroundings has ever been really nice or charismatic enough for me. At first some seem nice, but then when I get to know them, they are all the same. Looking for a hookup, cocky or just plain bad people. I m yet to meet someone as kind as my older brother or a gentleman like my grandfather. That s all I want. Yet all I find is immature and uncaring people. Many girls I have met have also been this way so it s not just the guys. Maybe I m old fashioned. I don t want just a causal hookup. I really want a guy that cares and is sweet. Any tips from the gentlemen? I know you are out there, but a dying rare breed sadly.

My mom is traveling back to the U.S soon, do I go with her and get my life started (Get my diploma, apply to college, work, etc.) Or should I stay with my dad who's 68 years old until he finishes work so I can travel with him? He's traveling back to the U.S in 2 or more months or whenever he finishes work. What do I do? He recently got leg surgery, do I stay and help take care of him, or do I go, get a job, make money so I can help them out financially? Please help, I'm extremely at a crossroads here.

Yes I know some of you are probably thinking about what kind of sicko I am, but hear me out. My sister is 12 years older than I am, so my whole life, I've known her as a woman, not just some snotty kid. She got married when I turned 8 and moved out with her husband. She got a divorce 5 years later and has been living at home since. She's very nice to me and she's kind of attractive too. Even though I'm her brother, I don't feel like I know her very much. What I known from her is that she has always been kind to me. She cooks my favorite food, she's funny, she listens to my problems, she's so reserved. When I'm with her, i just feel so peaceful. I think that I'm in love with her. Should I ask her out? I know it sounds sick, but I just have a REALLY strong feeling that she will say yes to me. She has a 2 year old daughter and I don't mind being the father of that child. She's just the perfect woman/wife. Yes I fantasize about her frequently. I'm 21 years old.

I just turned 18 recently and my mother won't stop about me leaving the house. She wants me to leave but I'm not ready. There are the only family I've got in New Zealand and I'm depended on them. I want to go to university next year and I'm not sure how I will pay rent and work and go to school when I leave the house. She always nags and she won't stop emotionally abusing me with words and name calling. She is my own mother and she does this. Today she was complaining how I wasn't helping around the house, I asked her what's needed to be done but she told me that there is nothing. Later she comes to me and started yelling and she slapped my face which hurt my lips and now my lips are bruised and have cuts in them. I'm so depressed. I'm not really to live alone. I just want to die, I'm a good child and never do anything bad and she always hits me or make me feel so stupid, she had done this since I was a child. Now I'm an adult and she still hurts me. Please help. My dad doesn't care at all.

I hate my family. My family hates me too. How do I deal with this?

I'm frustrated because this has been happening to me for as long as I can remember. If I fought with my younger sibling, I would get in trouble because "I'm older and should know better". My older siblings would make fun of me until I cried but then I'm "too sensitive" and I would still be the one in trouble. My mistakes hold more gravity. Friends will not forgive me for mistakes when they've forgiven others for much worse. I've always tried my best to be mature, kind, reasonable, and calm; but it's like people f*cking hate me for it. I'm just so hurt and tired. I don't understand why there's no forgiveness or understanding for me when that's all I've given others. Why am I not allowed to make the same mistakes my peers make? Can anyone else relate? It's taking everything I have to not just isolate myself from others. Someone please help me understand why I'm always the one.

My daughter is turning 8 in November, my husband and I have decided to take her to an indoor water park the weekend before her birthday and that Saturday she will have a small party at my aunts house (which she lives 2hrs away from us) then on her actual birthday which is a Thursday we were going to take her to get pizza and have some cake or something. Now my husbands mom is saying she wants to throw her a party with all her cousins. That s three parties already. I had invited my husbands mom to go with us to the indoor water park and she wasn t able to go. Am I wrong for not wanting them to throw her another party? I invited them to eat pizza with us on Thursday I feel there is no need for another party. Every year it s like this three parties one weekend with my family, then dinner on her actual birthday and then another party on my husbands side of the family. It s starting to be way to much.

Im a 13 yr old boy from canada & my sister almost fainted when she went clubbing. She cried over being scared that she overdosed on alcohol when there might be other reasons like getting sick! And it was in front of everyone which was stupid and embarrassing. So she came home at night and my parents babied her for a while. I dont know what truly happened. I dont think she's ashamed of how she exposed herself last night. She has this "i don't care" attitude when I tease her about it. My parents eventually made me stop reminding her about her childish moment. But seriously, 21 and crying over a little faint!?! In a room of hundreds of strangers!? 19 is our legal age cause were Canadian kids. Shes been clubbing since then, but yesterday she started acting like a wuss.

I live next to a magic shop and my birthday is coming up on November 5th and i got $20 from my grandfather and $10 from my parents for an early birthday present and i really want to go to the magic shop and buy something there. They think its weird. How can i convince them to take me? Do you think its weird? I really want to go!!!

My oldest son has told me that my youngest (16 year old) is a homosexual. I am not a bad parent, and have not kicked him out, but I will not have a homosexual son. There are several therapy options available in my area, but I'd like to know which type is most effective. There are a few residential programs in New York, along with reparitive therapy at a local church and group therapy at another. Which is most likely to work?

Okay my sister is gay,I love her to death. She tells us all the females she's been with & also how she's a freak. Well I have 3 kids. My youngest is two weeks. My sister have a habit of missing my kids on the lips. Is it wrong that I think about all the females she been with and don't want her kissing them? I want to ask her not to kiss them on their mouth but don't want to sound like I'm judging her.what should I do?

My cousin and I were thick as thieves growing up. As we grew older familial issues grew thick and we recently got into a vicious argument. I threw tons of low blows at her because I felt she deserved it but I am old enough to know that regardless of what was said or done prior to, I didn't have to say the things I said. This argument happened almost 2 years ago and we haven't spoke since. I'd like to apologize to her but I'd rather be just on "good terms" as oppose to "close" again. This wasn't our first time getting into a huge argument and not speaking to eachother and I'm at a really good place in life and I don't want negativity around me. But I do still want to apologize. How do I do so and still go on about my life as harsh as that may sound?

I'm only 18, I'm a freshmen in collage. I have a job and so dose my other half, and we are saving. We both live with our parents still. Lately I've been thinking about having a family of my own. I feel so young and dumb, but I feel (possibly) so infatuated by the thought of creating someone and growing life inside me. Being able to help it grow and guide it through life. It seams so amazing and I feel myself yearning for it.

There was a huge brawl in my family earlier today and there's was a lot of yelling and screaming and I just started crying and I still am😭😭😭

I'm fifteen, and my dad and I got into a huge fight this morning because he wanted me to go to church with him and his girlfriend. I've gone with them once before, and I didn't complain or anything. My dad only wanted me to go because his girlfriend is catholic. But that was literally the first time I was ever on a church, and I didn't like it. Everybody seemed to know what was going on except for me, like standing and kneeling at random times, and it was so boring! I felt so out of place! My dad wanted me to go again today, and we got into a huge fight about it. I don't think it's fair that he wants me to go. It's not like I'm catholic, and it's not like he's catholic. Should I have to go to church just because my dad's girlfriend does?

Is it bad to deny your son when he asks for food at around 9:30? If he is hungry?

So I have anger issues and I get so pissed we argue constantly for like 30 minutes just yelling and trying to punch her to stop it. I also get too angry and yell at her for like 30 minutes if she makes one mistake and it goes on until my stepdad comes in and tells us to stop. What to do?
