My 18 year old cousin showed up at my house on Monday balling her eyes out. After about 15 minutes of hysterical crying she finally told me that she was pregnant. I'm the only person who knows and have had to promise to her not to tell anyone. I took her to the doctor who confirmed the pregnancy. She's already 11 weeks 😬 I'm trying to convince her to tell her mom, but she's refusing. She's been calling me non stop all week and randomly showing up at my house... I have 3 little ones of my own, including a 4mo old baby and a disabled toddler. As much as I want to help and support her, I am insanely busy. I can't force her to talk to her mom and I can't break my trust with her either by telling her, so I'm really not sure what to do! She hasn't even told the father of the baby... I've been lying awake at night all week just stressing over this and trying to work out what on earth to do. Any ideas???

My birthday is in like 10 days and my parents really want me to have a party but just the thought of birthdays makes me sick idk why.. I just really hate them. My parents either want me to have a party or want to me to go out with like 3 or 4 friends but I really just want to spend time with my family and really not do anything. How can I convince them

My dad is basically a jackwad, and recently he cheated on my mom. My mom has been sad lately and my siblings don t know why. (I only know because I am a snoop) I m sort of thinking that this is their business and I should leave this affair to themselves, but I also think that my sister has a right to know since she is the oldest of us siblings. So, it turns out the person accusing my dad is just crazy... She came up with these ridiculous accusations despite living states away from us. I had believed her messages due to her having the same name as my father's boss. He's still sort of a jackwad, though

I am sick and tired of him being such a jerk to me and always telling me to do my homework, go to school, take showers, etc. He is an absolute assh*le and I am tired of dealing with it so I want to fight him and show the jerk who's in charge. For reference, he is 6'3'', about 220 lbs and I am 6'1'' around 105 pounds

BACKGROUND: me and my mom always bump heads, I m the youngest and never been able to communicate with her unless she s screaming at me. She s very loud and obnoxious and rude. I cannot tell her anything because the entire world will know without the hour. She doesn t know when to say proper things and having friends over is something I never do. I hope my boyfriends family never has to meet her. ANYWAYS I got my first tattoo after my 18th birthday 2 julys ago. I still love it and do not regret it. I ve always been the creative one in my family. I love to draw, play guitar, sing, write songs and I m majoring in photography in college.i have a job now too. Body art is a way to show creativity and who I am on the inside. I ve always loved tattoos! I have two on my leg and two on my upper arm. everytime she sees them she says "omg ANOTHER ONE? Gross. Your sister would never do that, why can t you be like her? (Keep in mind my sister was married twice had 3 kids by 21 years old with different fathers and has gotten them taken away by the star and has committed fraud// my mom still thinks she perfect because she looks like a model) This all makes me very sad because my mom is always calling me fat and ugly and putting me down. I am a very respectful and kind young women and I do not deserve this. Idk if I should ever talk to my mother once I move out (which will be soon) or try to fix this?

Im 31, she's 61. All through my childhood she told me I'd amount to nothing in my life. I don't like her very much. Her car broke down several years ago and she never bought a new one. In echange for rent, my brother drives her to and from work. She is horrible to him but he's doing what he has to to survive. Has finally tired of the abuse and is moving out. Now I am successful in life. She wants me to buy her a car. I refused. Since I won't buy her a car, she wants me to drive her to work. I live an hour from her and her cleaning job is an hour away the otber direction .I refused. Now she says I'm an ungrateful child (keep in mind I pay her phone and electric bill. . . But I'm ungratefull) am I wrong to refuse to buy her a car or act as transportation?

My husband and i put 3,000 down on our car we got . My fil said they would help us pay the first three months rent ,that hasnt happened . My mil said she would help us with the insurance ,hasnt happenend. Then they tell me their other son wants a car. They let him borrow his jeep for forever and his dad tells me ,were going to buy the jeep back feom him . Sooo he will pro get at least 15 000 dollars from them . Is that fair ?

I have a 6 year old son which I adore so much, my sons father and I broke up after 8 years and we decided to co-parent, but I did notice that my child prefers his dad more than me and its heartbreaking because I'm the one that does everything and anything for him. I know that I'm the strict parent, but also playful, but that has thought my son how to respect and behave appropriately where he is supposed to. Is there something that I am lacking or should be doing differently? Or any advise on how I can strengthen my relationship with my son?

Mrs. Jamie, I have a question for you; is part of Mohammad's homework to answer the questions to the Mystery Science Sheet that you sent home with him or is his homework to memorize the answers for the test? Because I was wondering if there's a link to the answers? I am stuck on some questions, I'm honestly that stupid that I can't find the answers to some of the questions. Go figure... we're wondering why Mohammad is struggling, I can barely do the work myself!! Also please tell me if what I wrote above is good or silly to send as an email to my sons 5th grade teacher? Thank you for your answers!!

I was visiting my cousins (my mom's sister's children). They were showing the family picture album. It has pictures of my mom when she was young and was she ever beautiful. WOW. I told my aunt that I had never seen those pictures and I thought my mom in those pictures was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. My aunt said "If you think she was beautiful then, let me show you some of national magazines she modeled for". Moms pictures in those magazines just blew me away. I had not idea mom had ever been a model. She had never told me about that? I ask my aunt if she could make me a copy of mom's pictures so I could put them on the wall in my room and she agreed to do so. Do you think my mom would have a problem with her daughter putting her mom's pictures on my room at home as I am so proud of her? Can anyone think of a reason mom never told her daughter she was a model and had appeared in national magazines?

I have a teenage son John and a teenage daughter Lisa. They are good kids and get along good well with each other. They just like to have fun especially with each other. One night at the dinner table Lisa ask me if she could get some balloons like John had. John said "What are you talking about? I don't have any balloons." Lisa said "I saw them in your desk drawer". "They are Trojan brand balloons". OH MY GOD, am I going to have to have the "talk" with Lisa again. But what she said next told me the "talk" was not necessary. She said "John, do you have to special order the balloons to get the size extra extra small". John thought what she ask him was REALLY funny and said, you misread the label. The are extra extra large. Should me daughter be teasing her brother like that even when he thinks it is funny?

I am 15 years old and I am half white half Hispanic. I am adopted by Indian parents and they are very mean, strict, and overprotective. My mom has a horrible personality and she always yells. Like when I would ask her "did you finish all the food, or is there still some left" she'd kind of yell instead of responding calmly like "NO! I Didn't finish it! Unless YOU ate it!" So that makes me mad and I always have to be like "ok, ok I'm just asking". Both my parents won't get me a phone till I'm 18 and they won't let me have any social media. I joke by saying "I'm going to save my money up for an iPhone" because I know they get annoyed by it and they'd be like "no iPhone, you're not getting that. think of something else." and even if I do get a phone, they'll put all kinds of family monitoring apps and make sure I can't use it pass 10. I am more mature than they think, but I don't know how to prove it to them. I am home-schooled and I have been fore the past 3 years because I got bad grades in middle school. They won't put me back in school because they still think I am immature and I won't do my work. I try talking to my mom about it, but she won't listen. I have a laptop, but it's only for work and they put Qustodio (family monitor to see what your child is doing) on it and even with that on, every time I have to do work on it, I have to do it in front of her with the screen facing her because she still doesn't trust me. There is much more to say, but I can't. Idk what to do.

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 emotionally abusive ex bf is buying a house who now has a daughter. He is asking me if I want to move in with him and start over and said I will get you a job called Passionate Pets in Arlington or Falls Church Va and they pay weekly instead of bi weekly and the starting pay what it looks like is 12.81 and he says he is making 18 from his raises and I'm making only 10 bi weekly in Winchester and that's not even 600 in my paycheck and I really want money cuz I'm 28 and live with my parents and I hate it. My ex is trying to show me he is changing and he said having a daughter is making me a better person. On the other hand, my parents have seem how he hurt me and broke me down more then once and they don't want to see that and I think family is really important and want to make them happy but also myself. He isn't forcing me to live with him he just said cuz he knows me and wants to make things up to me by getting me a job with great pay with your own schedule. I'm in a pickle. If you were in my shoes what will you do? He also told me I don't love your family but I love you. I'm not trying to get with them. I want to get with you. So he thinks I have a different definition of it but I don't know

We live in California and I'm going to be 22 next year and finishing school. My brother is 14, he'll be turning 15 next year. My brother wanted me to have full custody of him and be his guardian. The reason why he wanted me to do it is because, our parents are divorced, our mom has full custody of him, but she's always working and she's not always at home and if she's at home, she's usually out with her friends, get dinner takeouts for my brother (she doesn't cook a lot). She travels a lot for her work and she always have a nanny/babysitter to take care of him while she's out for 3-7 days. My brother doesn't really like strangers in the house and living for a week with only him, he gets uncomfortable. We're not in contact with our dad a lot. So my brother and I have been thinking, after I graduate college, he wants me to have full custody over him. I bought a house on my own, and I saved my money when I was doing internship. I've secured a job position at a tech company when I was doing my internship, the salary is great and after I finish school, I'll work there. I'm positive that I can take care of him, his education, his medical needs. I have more than enough money to take care of him. What do you think?

He works for $10 an hour, lives with two roomies but mom and dad pay for car repairs, tags and registration, clothes, cel phone and miscellaneous household items that he needs? Oh yes, still make his dr appointments?

It is because of conflicts between my Mom and her siblings. Supposedly they don't want to see us either. All I can think about is the joy all my cousins will be having and how I am not longer in the family. It hurt so much.

I am a very funny person, but my in laws and I started off on a bad foot nearly a decade ago. They refuse to apologize or accept that they actually started all of the animosity when my FIL started cursing/threatening me until I cried out of nowhere. I still have never gotten an apology for that, but I was forced to apologize to him. I have said some mean things but my MIL exaggerates and provokes me. They call themselves Christians and say they have forgiven me, yet, whenever they get mad, they start saying things from the past that I or my family has done . My husband is in a few bands and soon he has a gig where he will open for a major Nashville country band. In the past, they have asked him "Is Jill there? We will not be in the same room with Jill and refuse to allow her @ our home". My husband wont defend me and tell them off. They want me to stay @ home. What can we do? These in laws wont let anything go. They claim it is all my fault, but my mother got several nasty texts from my MIL making up blatant lies about my family and myself. They keep telling my husband "do you really want to live your life like this with such an unstable/crazy/evil woman?" "and do you want to live with her mother who is the same way in your life?" I am not like this, only to them because they provoke me and make out like they are better than me (and they do this to my mom too). Not 1 other person sees us this way, I have a ton of friends and so does my mom. They refuse to apologize or acknowledge their faults. Everyone else is the enemy. They say they love and care about my husband (their son) but they refuse to accept that he is in love with me and is very happy. They wont accept any other alternative.

Say, if a man grew up with a working mother, would he most likely prefer for his wife to work as well? The same goes for a man who grew up with a stay-at-home mother, would he be more likely to prefer his wife stay at home?

I'm 17 and currently the eldest in our house besides my parents. I do all my chores and try to keep the house clean and bring my family together (sometimes I get mad at my siblings). Whenever I feel depressed, I try to be happy for my family and so they don't really know what's going on. My mother thinks I'm irresponsible because I'm not exactly like my older sisters (they like cleaning), my sister who is kind of my best friend always agrees with my mom and It upsets me. I talk to my dad but he doesn't understands me, and he agrees with whatever my mom says because you know they're married. The only person who cared and understood was my boyfriend (who I had to break up with even though we still love each other more than anyone could imagine). I feel like no matter what I do I'm not good enough for my family and that I never would be unless I'm exactly like my older sisters. I have a sister who is less active than I am but somehow she is considered an adult. It's not like I have nothing to offer, I'm the photographer of the family, I do a lot of creative things, I play the violin and a beginner at volleyball. The only hope I have is in my boyfriend because he said he'll fight for me so we can be together (but I have to wait 2 years because he needs to serve his time in the military). I know this may sound like no big deal but it hurts physically (my heart hurts when I'm sad) and emotionally. Any advice? Thanks

Me and my bf got into a big fight .So I decided to break up with him and pack all my belongings and leave our home. My plan was to never return . The next day I found out his son mother was staying at our home. I ask him about it and he told me he had know other option. Said I left his son without a sitter and he have to go to work and can't find one with this short notice. He didn't want his son to miss school and the son mother don't work and live a hour away. She was just going stay to help out with the son until he find a sitter . 2 days later I decided to moved back in and I was upset that she was there so I kick her out. I never had any worries about her and him getting together. Me and her got along pretty good. I was just mad that she was staying in my house. She got her mail sent here and rearrange somethings in my house. So it look more like she was going be there to live permanent instead of a short term stay. He said he made it clear to her that this was short term until he find a sitter . Did I over react ? Is this something I should worry about ?

My family ambushed me by throwing me an over dramatic, intervention to help me "figure out what [I'm] doing with my life." This intervention complete with a detailed schedule of what they have planned for me to do in the next months. My problem from the beginning was that they were too overbearing and dramatic (which is why I pulled away, also because they always make me feel like I should be ashamed of myself and less than them). When they threw me the intervention I sat there, listened to what they said, said I apologize if I've ever done anything wrong. However, they sat there and just looked at me and my little sister said to me "that's it?" I don't understand what else they want like did they expect crying or expect me to fall to my knees or something? I know that I should be thankful that they cared enough to want to do this, but it's just so over dramatic that I can't stand it. I didn't say anything else to them, but I'm just wondering if I should say something else to them? What should I say?

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?

I really don't know what to do anymore. I'm trying and trying to move in with my mom and I don't know what to do, how to take action. My dad won't let me move in with my mom. I can't stand his house, and I want to move out. My mom can't take him to curt because she doesn't have the time to. She has a full time job and does online college. So I don't know what to do. I've tried having a reasonable conversation with my father, telling him what I want and why I want it. He turns me away and gets mad at me and I get into trouble. How do I do it? How can I move in with her? I once did live with her, but then moved in with my dad. My dad wasn't the person I thought he was, so I want to go back where I feel comfortable. Please help. Any answer will help. Thanks.

My mom s only source of income is SSI benefits, $800. Usually she pays her rent (sometimes doesn t) and gambles the other half or spends it foolishly. She won t get help for her health problems or many addictions, and won t get job. I ve recently turned 18 and decided to take half of the SSI check for myself to go towards my needs such as saving up for a car and college. She ll be really mad about this. Is this the wrong thing to do?

here is the story, Saturday I asked my mom if I could invite a friend over to watch football on sunday she said yes and said as long as I clean her whole house. then next day she said she was pissed at me for inviting friend over saying she told me to do it only if her house was already cleaned. my mom was like I know I am lazy and come home from work and do nothing at all, I know it and she is making no room to change that. anyhow it is my job to clean her whole when people come over it is not. I know her and my stepdad work and I just go to school but still she should help out at home and do some stuff here, I was telling a friend about it and they got pissed at me telling me that my mom works and that I should be cleaning her whole house for her and I said no way no how and she got pissed at me and left. you see the kitchen table half of it is all covered with my stepdads stuff like papers and books, and the counter is all covered with my moms just like papers and all the stuff that she will not put away, my friend said that it did not matter that I should still be cleaning the whole house. why the heck should I be cleaning up my parents stuff? I can doing dishes and all but why should I clean up there stuff, I told friend that I do not need to clean that and put it back in wrong spot so my parents need to clean up there own stuff, should I get in trouble for my mom having a messy house and should I be made to clean up there stuff? all my stuff is away in my room. if it helps I do my own laundry and she does hers, she food shops for herself and stepdad and I do my own food shopping, I cook my own meals and she only cooks on sundays and just eat cereal or sandwhichs rest of the week, I am to do dishes m-f and she is to do it on weekends and half the time she will not do them and makes me do them on Monday, I take care of her dogs when she not home and when she goes away I have to dog sit against my will, I clean up dog poop and pee almost every day to : my bathroom is also the company bathroom but my mom makes me clean, she also makes me gather the trash as well as bring it down from the road, I mean not to sound rude but I do enough stuff around here already, why can't my mom pick up some slack and do something aound here to help me? I mean she can clean up her own mess instead of making me do it

Yesterday I had a panic attack at school and they just looked at me and say "___ would never do something like that. Go get ready for school" so I literally started balling crying and I was like "she's been doing this since 2nd grade (I'm in 9th now) I never you because this is how I'd thought you'd react" and they literally were like nice try we know her better than that. I don't get it? I've come home with cuts and bruises, not awful, but like maybe a bruise on my leg where she kicked me over and over again. Or a cut where she dug a pencil in my hand. I don't get why they don't believe me or maybe they don't care ? I would tell a teacher but I've tried and her dad is a huge contributor to keeping the school running so they can't even do anything. I just really wanted my parents to care and maybe go to the school and confront them about this but instead she got off the hook even with my own parents :'(

my son is always in trouble for talking and drawing instead of doing his work in kindergarten! is it cruel to take away all his toys and drawing materials as punishment?

There's this board game that my dad has been wanting to buy for the family for quite some time, but he has never gone through with it. I was thinking of getting it for him as a gift, but I'm not sure if that would be a bad gift or not because it's not specifically just for HIM, if that makes sense. Thoughts?

My sister and I are the only two left in our family. She is with someone who treats her horribly and treats me bad as well. They broke up back in March, and she got back together with her (yes, my sister is gay). Her partner has 5 kids and only cares that they are happy. She has always been very rude and unwelcoming towards are family, even though we have helped her this functional family more times than I can count. Now that the last of our family has died, it's only me and I don't want to be unhappy and treated badly every holiday. I know my sister is going to be mad, but she really doesn't see how I'm treated and she doesn't want to hear about it. What should I do?

My parents have been physically, verbally and emotionally abusive for as long as I can remember. They've hit me with sticks, random objects, even small chairs and foldable tables and have tried to strangle me before and gotten close to even knocking me unconscious a few times (all when I was under the age of 10). All this abuse over small things (I got stitches for being unable to control my giggling on the dinner table), arguing over my brother, complaining about chores and homework etc. They're verbally abusive saying things like (You're an embarrassment, you're a disappointment, go to hell, I can't wait for you to turn to an adult so I never have to see your face again, you're filthy blood etc. and a bunch of swearing in another language) all because of things that all teenagers do. Complaining about chores, forgetting to do chores, sleeping in late, spending a lot of time online etc. They will gang up on me and shout at me until im drowning in tears and honestly they don't care if they see me cry and that just hurts more because what kind of parents don't hurt when they see their child cry. They keep blaming me for their outbursts saying I deserved it and are so manipulative, making me think it's my fault and THEY are the ones hurting. I hardly ever talk back and I make sure I give them basic respect as they're parents but whatever I do, nothing works and I'm ending up depressed but I can't talk to them without them screaming at me. What do I do? I can't bring myself to call any authorities because DESPITE everything, I love them and I couldn't stand being the reason they go to jail etc. Besides, I have 3 younger siblings and we'd have nowhere to go if they got out of the picture. My only hope is to finish school and stand up on my own two feet but any advice to stop this depression? Lately, I just shut off when they start and I don't care about what they say anymore but I really wish our relationship would improve even a bit.

She had made a threat saying she'd beat me til she left a permanent mark on me. The mark wasn't permanent but she did leave one. Well, my dad did. My mother got mad because I didn't say hi to her so she started beating with a belt for about two hours. She slapped me in the side of my face causing my ear to be ringing. She beat me all over my body telling me that I was 'evil, wicked, worthless." She even brought a big bottle of bleach and kept trying to pour it in my face. After that my father came home and started punching me all over by body including my face. He left a big bump on my forehead but now it's healing and almost gone. After that, my mother forced me to stay up until 2 am in the morning to write over and over again that I will not be told to apologixe because I didn't say sorry for not saying hi to her. I want to leave but I am afraid of the foster system, Anyone who has been there before can you tell me your experience? thanks.

When I was 14 years old... My girlfriend asked me if I always give a sh!t what my parents have to say. I told her exactly this. What grade are you in ? She said 9th. Yeah ?! My dad has a f)ucking college degree. Do you work ? She said no. Ok... Well my dad is a distribution manager. That means he sends things to the store, so that your mom can buy it for ya. How long have I known you ? She said about a year. I said... I knew my dad for 14 years. That's 14 times longer. If I get in trouble with the law, you gonna bail me out ? Do you give a f)uck ? She didn't answer. Then I said... F)uck you.

I m a 27 year old female and the baby of the family. Currently I m away from home pursuing a career in Nursing, being away from my family has given me different outlook on them as individuals. I have 2 older sisters but I have more responsibility than both of my sisters, their still at home and don t help my mother at all. My mother frequently calls to vent about issues she has with them and it honestly makes me resent them more. We are adults and I m not perfect either but it seems like my mother refuses to admit even though she complains about my sisters being wrong in certain scenarios. But when it s me she is prepared with a full defense against me. I am moving back in January and I don t know how I m going to cope.. advice please.

I have had a crush on him since i was about 6.now im 21 and i still like him and he does not even know that.i want to ask him to get divorced and marry me.why shouldn't he accept?im much more beautiful and younger and better than his wife.but i feel guilty.im confused i dont know what to do.what do you think?what should i do?

My little brother was 28,but physical limitations kept him in my parent's house,so now she's alone in the house. I don't want her to get lonely,but I don't want to smother her,either.

I hate when people talk to me about "adult" stuff and I hate when people treat me as an adult... is that weird? I just want to be a kid.... I mean I still do my responsibilities I have a 4.0 college gpa going so far... I still act like an adult but it doesn't mean I enjoy acting like one... I want to be a kid once in a while but I'm afraid I'll be judged for it.... i am 18 but I have a baby face and people think I'm like 12 years old... looking like a kid makes me feel better I just wish I was what I look and that's actually a kid... I also felt more love and affection by my father as a child than I do now... (my mom isn't the problem, to her, I'll always be her little girl) but my dad.. when I was a baby he used to pick me up and play with me, he was so sweet and now all he does is criticize me for things I haven't accomplished yet, all that love and affection I used to get from him is gone. Being an adult sucks so bad... I'm been having the worst growing pains for months now and I don't know where else to vent but here

my mom has gotten a bf even when she said she wouldn't which was fine with me because I want her to be happy but now she's neglecting us and caring for him than her own goddamn children and no I'm still a minor so that's why I'm complaining and he's a alcoholic Lao he has her buying a bunch of alcohol and PLUS HE IS married but told my mom they were getting a divorce which I think they are but every time he and my mom has a fight he goes to his wife's house.

People don't want to hire me because they all hear about me being crazy. How is it helpful to tell everybody that I am crazy and then expect someone to give me a job? If my mother wants me to get a job, would it be better if she tells people all the good things about me.... Instead of scaring people.... they don't want to work with me.... My mother is ruining my life. I am not crazy. I'm just trying to avoid living a hard life... and look for easier way to live... I don't want marriage or children.... because that will be hard... I think it is easier to be single, no heartache, no responsiblility. But my mom and others think I am crazy for not doing what everybody is doing. Such as dating or looking for jobs.... I know that I will be rejected by men anyway.... And I know that I will not get a job because of all the negative things people say about me. My mother should not be telling me anything about dating... She is single, so is my older sister. I don't want people to help me. I want to stand on my own 2 feet. I do not want people to treat me like I can't do things on my own. I will not stay at somebody' house or get married in order for a man to take care of me. I want to take care of myself.

I m 26 and I have had mental health issues sunce the age of 10. Now I still deal with depression and social anxiety. I get anxious about social situations and I m very introverted. I attend college. I have been on SSI since a child but now I m tired of living on just 700$ a month. I have dreams and goals. I would like to get a apartment one day, a car, and have extra spending money. But a family member has put fear in me not to work because she said I would lose my check and health insurance. She dosent support me working. I have been going on interviews but never get a job. Should I continue trying to look for job or settle for getting 735$ a month forever?

I had to come and stay with him because my mom got in trouble, and he doesn't like me very much. He won't let me sleep in the bed and he calls me names, and he is always yelling at me even if I havent been bad, and his girlfriend laughs at me when he punishes me because sometimes I cry. They called me a ******. I don't even know who I like. I want him to like me, because he is my dad, and I don't want to hurt anymore. What can I do to be a good son, and make him like me?

Okay so today at dinner we had oven baked pizza and so my dad saw me putting a napkin on top of the pizza and swishing out all the sauce bc they put a bunch of sauce on the pizza and tbh i aint a big fan of that. Anyways so he clearly said "ew why do you do that?" And i told the reason and i repeat he said "just eat it" and so i snap at him and said "bro, dont judge me" and my dad is a really sensitive guy so he got all mad and throw back attitude at first i didnt think much of it until he pulled me over after dinner and said "i need to talk to you" and so he said "at dinner when you said i was judging you, i wasnt im making that clear now" but he clearly did, honestly the way he said it and how he act and his face expression said it all! "Second. I noticed the way you been talking to me and you been calling me bro, which i am NOT your bro, i am your father. You need to start respecting me and mom more now" WTF I ALMOST WANTED TO SCREAM! I BUST MY *** FOR 15 YEARS TO MAKE U PROUD! I MAKE HIGH GRADES! I STAY OUT OF TROUBLE! I DONT DO DRUGS! I DONT HAVE SEX! Like what the ****??? Honestly that has to be the most dumbest sensitive thing i ever heard. I have full respect for my parents but this convo im sorry but no. What makes me even more mad is Lately every since my sister got a job, he has been harder on me! When my brother has been getting in trouble with my mom! He doesnt even see that my brother is in trouble! He just strugs it off! Honestly, do you think its stupid?

On Halloween i didn't go trick or treating so my parents promised me that they bought buy me a bag of candy from the store and they bought me a bag of whoppers, heath, almomd joy. I hate all of those candies. They are so nasty. I wanted snickers ans reeses and M&Ms. What should i do? Should i make them go return it? Because i won't eat it.

I'm only 15 so I cannot just move out, although I wish u could. I need some advice on how to get out of an abusive home, but first I need a second opinion whether it's legally child abuse of not. Well it started getting bad when I was 8, I remember my mother slapping me in the face for not getting her something when she wanted. Its gotten worse since my mother has slapped me, dragged me downstairs, threatened to kick me out, punched me, chocked me, stabbed my door with a knife, scratched me, told me she hates me, told me nobody in my family loves me, told me she doesn't want me, called me fat, useless, dumb, ugly, a b*tch, etc. Finally a couple days ago I built up enough courage to stand up to her and while I was walking away she grabbed me by my hair and punched me in the face. I screamed for my brother to call the police but she threatened to kill us. At that point I had enough and told her I was going to tell my guidance counciler and she said I was betraying her and that it was a family matter. I'm sick of her! I tried telling family members but they don't do anything, I told three people and nobody does anything. I'm thinking of telling my math teacher but I'm petrified if my mom finds out she WILL KILL ME, like actually murder me. I put all my pain and hurt into school .I keep a 98 average in school to get a scholarship so I can get out but I don't know if I can take 3 more years, I'll actually kill myself. Sometimes I'd rather die than live another day with her.

I occasionally get mood swings and become irritated over small things. This started when I was 12 but my emotions were more severe back then. Eventually I cared about less things so I stopped thinking about certain things. For some reason, I got easily upset with my friend for not giving me something I was gonna pay for. I don't need it - it's just a decoration.

She never wanted me to be compared to those cool kids who always owned expensive stuff. I used to have this crush on this boy and now he thinks I am very spoiled just because I wore an expensive shoe. I once wore my Adidas jacket and he said, "ooh you're rich. How can your parents afford your expensive stuff? They're rich right?" My parents are working their butt off to buy things that are in "trend" so I don t get compared with other people. In the future, when I get a job, I want to help my parents so they won't have to work hard to pay the bills. Everyone just thinks I am a spoiled person.

It was my mother s shoes from 30 years ago and she passed it along to me. She never wanted me to be compared to those cool kids who always have expensive stuff. I used to have this crush on this boy and he thinks I am very spoiled just because I wore an expensive shoe. I once wore my Adidas jacket and he said, "ooh you re rich. How can your parents afford? Is your expensive stuff? They re rich right?" My parents are working their butt off to buy things that are in "trend" so I don t get compared with other people. In the future, when I get a job, I want to help my parents so they won t have to work hard to pay the bills. Everyone just thinks I m a spoiled person.

He is divorced but he still yells at his kids all the time even though they don't live with him. My Mom claims to be protective as she won't let me ever see my Dad again since he drinks too much and yet she makes me see this mean brother of hers. He even got violent with his ex-wife on two occasions when they were married. The uncle drinks too much also though my Mom says it is not as serious as my Dad drinking. I feel so sad not to be able to ever see my Dad again and I am scared of this uncle. What do I do?

Yesterday I went over to a friend's house as she needed me. We were in her room, sitting on the bed and she confided in me about some problems. Then she started crying and leaned her face on my neck. She took my arm and put it around her shoulders as I listened sympathetically. Then her mother suddenly walked in her room and started yelling at her, calling her vulgar names (nasty b*tch etc) and asked her to move away. She said no, I'm sad. While I sat there in shock, her mother struck her across the face 3 times with her hand and the TV remote, and pulled her hair hard. I know that she was sexually abused as a kid by her father's brother, and her father never believed her. He cheats on the mother, tries to control his daughters and beats her. Her mother hits her too. I felt embarassed and decided to leave. Then the mother spoke to her father about it and called us both "lesbians" and that she called me over to do inappropriate stuff. I don't understand. I feel comfortable with her however I do not feel anything romantic or sexual towards her. She cuddles me on the couch, in her bed, kisses my cheeks/forehead, holds my hand with interlocked fingers and I never minded. She says she feels safe and protected with me and I try to help her. (We're both 20) Is this my fault? What should I do?

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.

I just got home from riding with my mom to go pick up my dad at work. Since we did not go in anyplace and I did not get out of the backseat I went for the ride in my bare feet and left my shoes at home. I had shoes on all day at school today and it felt good going for the ride barefoot and I did not need shoes for a 30 minute car ride since I did not go in anyplace.

My youngest siblings are 16 and 17. They are very selfish, lazy and just all around ill-tempered. They sass me, and the rest of my family. They show no respect unless they want to be taken shopping or getting something for themselves. Yesterday, they pretty much hurt my feelings for the last time. What should I do, other than ignore them?

I've been dating my cousin for the past two years she has a daughter from a previous marriage. Me and her are having a baby in July. I'm 21 she's 25. Is it ok to date her ?

And should my grandma threaten to whoop me because I was walking around the house with no shoes on when she knows I'm going right back to bed? And just because she doesn't care that my feet are hot, then should I just let my feet sweat and stink?
