I'm going to be Louise from Bobs Burgers for Halloween. I tried on my black wig for the first time (I'm a fair skinned red head). The very first thing my mother said was "Black is definitely not your color". Then a few minutes later after silence said "but the wig is cute" We are now arguing because I said it was unnecessary for her make a back handed comment and she says there wasn't anything wrong with the comment. I'm 23 and my mother has a long history of saying cruel things to damage my self esteem and I would like to know if I'm over reacting or not because after years of this it's hard to tell therefore am in need of a objective third party. I would also like to state that I do realize it's a petty argument but I am tired of the backhand complements. So please answer, who do you think is wrong? Thank you for your time.

do u think she did a good job with her eye ...please just say yes or no? tks will choose a best answer

Tonight, my mom had a conversation with me. She said she is very disappointed in me. When her friends ask what I am doing with my life, she doesn't know what to say and is embarrassed. When I was in high school, I was very driven, I got good grades, but I was not accepted to any university and I was crushed. She had dreams about me going to college and being successful. I went to a CC for a while and got a degree that is not worth anything. I suffer from, I think, severe depression where I cannot get up in the morning and I feel unmotivated which is not like me. I really want to get into the medical field (working in a hospital is ideal for me) but I don't know where to begin as I have an Associate's in English. I'm her 25-year-old daughter. My mom doesn't work and has health issues. My mom is stressed too because we all live together right now, she had to move in with her ex-husband a few years back so it's my dad, mom, two brothers, and I living together. She even thought maybe at this age, I could get my own apartment so that she could move in with me and she feels ashamed and that I deceived her by saying that I was majoring in medical when I wasn't. I almost get the feeling she had a plan all along to use me financially. I don't know about deceived her, but I could see her disappointment. I'm worried too because my dad is sick right now and I am working crappy retail jobs. My dad thinks I'm regressing when I should be growing up. How should I feel about this?

I lost my soul mate years ago. After, i completely isolated myself spent 24/7 alone no longer had friends or socialized and started getting black out drunk alone and got in a very dark dark place. Now about 5 years later I'm starting to get out more and at least go to the store and look people in the eyes and have small conversations here and there. Do you think it's possible to live again after your soul mate dies????

I have given up on dating and love entirely. I have experienced rejection with one guy who had a girlfriend but really stared at me so I thought he liked me. Another guy, I dated; he was my actual boyfriend, and he ended up dumping me for this other girl and he asked me what I was doing with a loser like him. After some more dates that didn't go right, I feel like I'm cold or numb to dating overall. I am 25 years old, I am smart and I am pretty. I just feel like I don't care at the moment about dating. Some people act like it's a bad thing but for some reason, I've emotionally shut down in a way. Why can't people accept this? I have changed as a person too. I don't wear jewelry anymore because my self esteem even has been knocked down. People ask me why I don't wear it anymore but I don't feel to. To all the readers out there, I DID NOT hit on a guy who had a girlfriend, I didn't know he had a girlfriend! Reread the question so you can actually understand!

A honeymoon post about being in the magnificent Maldives isn't going to be as impressive as the professional photos someone else has taken of their family right? Why do we brag like this?

I'm 20 and I am a college student. I'm living at home and I do work. My boyfriend is 23. He is a hard worker, he works 2 jobs and 7 days a week. I met him when I was 16. I won't go into detail (and all the sappy **** lol), but we truly care for and absolutely love each other. The thing is, he has a 3 year old child and my mom hates him on that basis. When she found out, she told my dad and brothers my personal business, that I trusted her with in the past. Yet she still exposed me. I had to make her believe that I left him because she said that she would kick me out and stop paying for my college. I am in a position where I can move in with him. I could pay for my college, it would just take me longer. But my mom has always been extremely controlling and I want to move out and be free of her. My issue is that if I choose this, my mom said she will never speak to me again. She said I will ruin my life. She said picturing me with him makes her depressed. She said I would be a disgrace to the entire family and she wouldn't be able to walk with her head up. She tells me I am insecure to want to be with him and that I should "love myself more." I am with someone who makes me happy and I truly believe I deserve. I wish she could see that. Even my 25 yo brother tried convincing her to meet him and give him a chance but ... well, clearly she is very stubborn. I need advice. I want to be with him but I don't know what this will mean for my relationship with my family?

I m worried about my Shaloin monk s health. He seems to like to hurt himself a lot. He requests to be kicked in the testicles a lot, hangs himself on ropes to meditate, and sometimes wants me to pick him up and use him as a battering ram. I just want to know how long I can expect him to live for.

Okay so I've always had moles in weird places and I've always had this mole in between my legs but recently It started to stick out more and more. I know I will have to get it surgically removed but since it's between my legs I'm a bit shy and I'm not sure how to bring this up to my mom. Please help!

I was with my boyfriend for 4 years (14-18 years old). We always dreamed of having a daughter when we got married. However things went bad and he left me for another girl 2 years ago. He left me, got with her, had sex before marriage with her and got in trouble in our religion for it, and married her. He now opposes the faith we were in. He's always had mental health issues and it got worse after he left. He was caught by his wife looking at old pictures of me earlier this year and before they married, he would send me friend requests on Instagram every week for a month. The last I heard was that he work literally around the corner of my house from me. He also tried contacting me last April by subscribing to me on YouTube even tho I don't post. He unsubscribed then subscribed in September last year and he recently unsubscribed again. He was my everything. I loved him more than anything. It hurts he left everything we had and I can't seem to let go of the fact we will never have our daughter. She even had her name picked out. When we broke up one of the last times, he said he would visit the cemetery and found this grave of a baby girl who passed away and would pretend it was our baby. I constantly feel so depressed that I will never have my child. It may seem silly since I've never had sex anyways but idk...is this normal?

To me, those are things I value the most. But when I look arround I see people don't seem to care about it as much as I do. Everyone is preoccupied with the rat race, but that makes a world with billions of people a very cold and desolate place. It gives me shivers.
