Question: My parents won't let me go to college where I want/pursue the career I want? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:17 PM PDT I live in Massachusetts and I want to go to college in California, but today my mom told me that's never going to happen. She claims I would never be able to live out there alone because I never want to leave the house and spend time with my friends, but honestly I just have annoying and kind of mean friends and don't like spending every second of my life with them when I already see them all day during school. And she says that she's not going to let me pursue the career I want because I don't have any experience with it and she thinks I'm bad at it, even though every time I want to do something related to it she says no, and she is pushing me toward a career I had once said I might be interested but have realized it's not what I really want. And I really don't want to go to college around here, I know there's really good schools but I've lived here my whole like and I'm kind of sick of it, and I also want to get away from my parents a bit and I'm not going to get to experience living on my own and figuring things out by myself if I'm stuck close to them all the time. I'm really angry because she just crushed all my dreams in a matter of seconds and I don't know what to do. |
Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:14 PM PDT im so incredibly confused so basically the other day my mom called up a family meeting and announced to us that she's going back to her maiden name, and like when i asked her if that meant her and my dad were getting divorced she was like "no lily, your dad and i are fine, ive just decided i no longer want someone else to take credit for my accomplishments" like what is that supposed to mean?? and when i asked her what that meant she got all snappy and idk why but this makes me feel really nervous? shes been married to my dad for 19 years and she's always gone by his name (well ever since they got married but yeah) so im just really confused and kind of worried because what if shes doing it because she doesn't want to be with my dad anymore? i dont want her to go back to her maiden name shes literally ruining our family's unity and close bond and i dont know what to do? shes so selfish this is why i hate my mom |
Question: My dad is so nice but my mom is the complete opposite? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 01:49 PM PDT My mom is always criticizing me, she always wants money, attention, is always complaining, also complains about having kids around, etc. My dad is religious, always praises me for even small things, wants me to grow and be independent, never introduced a new person into our lives or remarried or anything like that, focused on us entirely - my brother and I. He does a lot for us and never complains like if I need anything, he's there emotionally or if it is early in the morning, he's mature and stable. How can I cut my mom off? |
Question: How to make my family proud? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 01:23 PM PDT Hi all, sorry for a bit of a soppy question on a Saturday. I'm 19, am really close with both my parents but don't feel like I've ever really achieved anything. I've never been in any trouble with the police etc, can sometimes be a bit snappy but I'm not a bad lad. I'm at a local university doing OK and got a first last year which I guess is something. Ever since I grew up I wanted to play proffesional rugby, unfortunately haven't managed it and am playing for a local club that's struggling a bit for form. I've been asked to play for my university team but drinking is really important at uni so will need to get hotels etc so I don't need to make the last train. I want to play but not sure it's worth it. I want to make them proud but want to live my own life as well. I'm not really sure what to do or how to do it in terms of the situation above, rugby in general and in terms of my life generally. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks |
Question: Any ideas or suggestions? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:41 PM PDT My little one (22 months) has neuroblastoma. We have a break in her treatment so have gone away for the week to a friends place by the beach. Her doctor has approved this. It's all very mellow and relaxed. There are 2 other toddlers her age, lots of fun activities, games etc. She is well, but hasn't gone near any of it. Instead she's clung to me like there's no tomorrow. I have been nursing her around the clock, and had her hanging off me without a break. I am not having a good time at all! I know if I peel her off me she's just going to get upset. Is there any point being here? I've barely spoken to my friends, she hasn't engaged in any of the activities I was hoping she would, and my husband has just worried the whole time. I think we need to go home... But on the other hand I think I might regret that! Any ideas on how to distance her from my boobs a little and go and have fun??! |
Question: I hate my 24 year old daughter, I don't want to but I do. How do I get over this? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:30 PM PDT I have three kids, two daughters and a son. I love my older daughter who is the sunshine of my life and I also have love for my son. My 24 year old daughter I hate. She is a liar. I adopted her at age 4 and she has never gotten it together. My son is adopted and he even has developmental disabilities but he behaves and has a good heart. My older daughter who is my one biological child (from my 1st marriage) is my sunshine and my angel. Everything about her is perfect. Yet, my other daughter does not have a single good quality. The daughter I hate will get the rest of my family to think I am the bad guy and they fall for her lies. She pushes my husband and I away when we are her parents who she owes a huge thank you to for taking her from her bad home. Her real mother who she has apparently found through Facebook was a slut who didn't want her brother and made no effort for her. We (my 2nd husband and I) were her heroes and yet she pushes us away. She is turning into the garbage her bio mother is. I hate her so much, how do I get over my hate for my daughter? |
Question: Help: I need advice!? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:16 PM PDT My mum's boyfriend almost killed my dad (he broke into our house too) and he's threatened to kill me twice and threatened to kill my siblings. She said he's changed (for the thousandth time) and expects me to forgive the both of them. He's usually normal unless he gets really angry then turns psychotic but he supports them. Should I forgive her for staying or should I cut her out of my life? I'm a teen btw |

Question: IS ASKING MY ADULT DAUGHTER FOR MONEY WRONG?? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:10 PM PDT I never thought i'd even have to ask her for some money but she has had a lot of money $300,000 given to her over 15yrs,,during those years I used the little money I had giving to my kids and her kids, my grandkids,why? I guess because I enjoyed it,never thought well she has all that money,I also wanted to help her and my other kids because growing up I had nothing.My husband her dad gambled all our savings which wasn't much but it leaves me now retired with no savings.I always thought i'd be able to travel to see my country so I thought i'd ask her for $10,000,I never thought when I was taking her and her kids on vacations to Disney World at least 6 times or buying them school clothes $1000 each year that when I was 64 I wouldn't have money to take a few trips.Wasn't very smart of me at the time I suppose but no one ever did that for me or my kids,,,, |
Posted: 04 Nov 2017 11:23 AM PDT I never trusted anybody again after my own dad abandoned me. He's terminally I'll and wants to meet me. Do I meet him or should I make him pay the price of abandoning me? Is this forgivable? I never married and I'm a 41-year-old man refuses to trust anybody as my own dad abandoned me and I don't want to be hurt again. I no longer call and Dad I just a biological father. |

Posted: 04 Nov 2017 11:19 AM PDT My four year old nephew likes playing with me. Yesterday, I was busy, and he wanted to play catch and online kids' games with me. So that's what I did. However, after about 45 minutes, I told him that I had to work now. My nephew put his head down as he started crying and left the room, saying, "I just want to play with you". I felt bad and told him to come back. We then played for another 45 minutes. Finally, I told him that I really had to work, and my nephew was upset. He said, "I want to play with you". He was about to go away crying again, but I got him, told him to look me in the face, and I said, "You know I love you, right?" He said yes, but still went away sad, though not as upset as before. I did play with my nephew for as long as I could, but I still felt kind of bad. Did I handle the situation well? |
Question: Why is my brother's wife doing this to me? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 10:53 AM PDT My brother's wife has large boobs. She likes to show a LOT of cleavage. Strangely, my brother is OK with that. At our parent's home, she will bend over in front of me and say "Don't look at my boobs". How could I not look at them when they are 6 inches away from my face? I just say "OK". That is really strange behavior. Other times she will bend over in front of me to give me something and then say "Did something come up". I always truthfully tell her no. I have NO sexual interest in my brother's wife EVER. I wonder why she is acting this way. Is she flirting with me or possibly just teasing me? Anyone have any ideas why she is doing this to me? |
Question: Is my cousin teasing me? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 10:51 AM PDT I am a guy in high school who has a older female cousin who is a joy to be with. She has a great sense of humor and we have a lot of fun together. I arranged for her to take me to the airport for a flight. I was running late and she asked me how much more time I needed to get ready before we left. I told her "It wouldn't be long now". She said "how many inches is it when it is long"? Oh my God, she is talking about my d***. I think I am entitled to brag a little don't you so I said 12 inches. She said "In your dreams "Shorty". Do you think she was just having fun at my expense? |
Question: Is social media starting to affect us more socially? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 08:53 AM PDT To me it seems like it's creating its own separate reality, and it bothers to see my family getting sucked in. It seems like it's creating a much bigger sense of material need and I don't like it. |
Question: My Mom and her sister are fighting over custody of me. Why do I have no say? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 08:23 AM PDT I want to be with my Mom and don't feel an aunt has the right to take their siblings child. |
Question: How do I get my bad and toxic parents out of my life? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 08:22 AM PDT |
Posted: 04 Nov 2017 06:50 AM PDT For example: you have a kid who keeps making you angry, doesn't listen to you, if you slap him once he return it twice, no matter what you do, he's just acting like a maniac and he's like 11 years old, he only fears his dad, how can you make him listen to you just like he listens to his dad?? |
Question: How can I have a baby with a man that wakes up at 3 in the afternoon everyday? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 06:31 AM PDT I feel guilty about this I love my bf dearly but I don't like hanging out with him becauss he lives with his mom still and not only that but she expects me to clean his room and to conversate with his family while I prefer just being in his room except he wakes up at 3 in the afternoon I don't. I like to be up in the morning. His room is filthy even if you clean in because his toilet, sink is old and moldy and his mom doesn't pay to update it. He also works part time as a dishwasher so he doesn't make much money. I love him he's funny but every time I try to spend time at his house I want to go back home to my moms clean and modern home and just study go to school so I Won't have to be forced to live with his mom and expect to let him sleep till 3pm every day because he stays up partying after work and has constant friends over daily. His mom expects me to be OK with this. So I'm just living with my mom again. And hopefully once I get a degree I can move out with him and live wirh a more modern house and not be expected to entertain his family while he sleeps till 3 in the afternoon. |
Question: What will you do in this situation? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 05:13 AM PDT Tommorrow is the first time I m going to a church with a friend of mine. My mum said she ll like to come with me as wellas she hasn t been to church in years. Should I ask her to come along with me or leave it? I m scared with going to church with her because I m a grown up adult now in my late 20 s. Please help |

Question: Why does my brother do this? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:51 AM PDT So he lets me use his Netflix. However, when I don't use it for a while he eventually deletes my profile. Or for instance apparently he tracks ip logins on his account and he will text me asking if that was me logging in. He also shares it with our Mom, too. But he is paying for it. He's in college, and I'm 5 years older than he is. Why does he do this? Not to mention he frequently changes the password. He seems to always tell our Mom about the password change, but never tells me. |
Question: My mom is putting my brother in a group home and I don’t know how to feel? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:47 AM PDT |
Question: Did I just ruin my parents marriage? Am I the wrong one here? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:02 AM PDT I am a 37 year old man still living at home. My dad started in about how he was going to start driving what I thought was my mom's car. So I questioned him on it. Which was a big mistake. He started in about how HE paid for it and that it was HIS car too. Then he started in about how HIS money this and HIS money that. That prompted me to reveal a secret my mom told me years ago to not tell him. That she is the one who paid for his last truck with her inheritance money from when her dad died. That started a big thing with my dad talking more about HIS money. And then he started sounding like he is ready to pack up and leave my mother. What did I just do? Was I wrong to question anything my dad says? Is his word law like he thinks it is? Do I really have a big mouth like my mother says? Am I really a bad son now? Does my sister have a reason to not like me now? What am I supposed to do now? Have I really done such a bad thing? Do I need to pack up my things and move out for good ASAP? |
Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:01 AM PDT So she has changed a lot in the past months, I think from June-july 2016. She is always angry, sad, she eats a lot or not at all, same with sleep, this summer she haven't got out for one month with her friends, even if they asked her, she just stays in her room...and she listens to music and she is very anxious too, I think that she is bisexual too, I mean she tried to tell me but in a way that I couldn't understand so well, but me and my husband don't really accept this so I might exaggerated when we were talking about this subject. I'm worried about my kid, please help me and I'm sorry for my English. |
Question: How do I stop my granddaughter from dating a *****? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 01:48 AM PDT My son recently informed me that my only granddaughter is in a relationship with a ***** boy. I am extremely worried for her. Not only is dating a thug like that dangerous, but it makes it look like we didn't raise her right! I don't want her to become the local harlot, and taking 6 illegal drugs! How do I tell her it is not okay to do this! My son and his wife refuse to say anything, due to be labeled a ¨racist¨, but unlike them, I actually care for her wellbeing. How should I approach her, and what should I say? |

Question: I’m so close to hating my mother? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:12 AM PDT My mom does a bunch of things that annoy but doesn't all moms do that? my mom continues to make it seem like she hates being a mother and blames pretty much everything on me and calls me disrespectful for talking back which can be rude but I only talk back if she is saying derogatory things to me and about me which happens all the time also my brother did this really disgusting thing tonight and she found a way to blame it on me. I don't know how to explain it but it's getting tiring of constantly being mentally and emotionally/verbally abused and yes I have a roof over my head but STILL and no it isn't raging teenage hormones, sadly but almost every day we get into some types of argument and I try to talk it out with her and it still never works and about a tear or two ago I tried a suicide attempt because I was constantly feeling worthless and when I was trying to talk to my friends about it they were never there for me and I shouldn't expect them to be but it's just getting to me now and I've cried for about an hour...I just want to end it all. |
Question: Why are some parents bullies? Verbally and physically abusive, etc.? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:03 AM PDT Why would you have a kid just to be awful to it? Abuse is abuse is abuse. Strict parenting is something else entirely. Don't try to split hairs, people. |
Question: How do I deal with a younger brother who bullies me? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 11:19 PM PDT My 13-year-old brother has been harassing me for years. He isn't the "name-calling annoyance stereotype," he hits hard on everything I m sensitive about. My weight, intelligence, physical ability, talents, appearance, and interests are just targets to shoot down. He has been told off many times about his actions, yet he continues. The mental toll it has taken on me is disturbingly immense. General disagreements turn into arguments, which turn into fights, which ends in me crying in my room and locking myself in for hours thinking I don't deserve anything in life if I'm so easily defeated by some kid in middle school. There was a point when my mind was shouting "loser" over and over again. He needs to be stopped and telling anyone obviously has no effect. Please don't recommend bullying him back or getting revenge. It either riles him up even more, doesn't even work, or has him tattle on me and make me look like the villain. |
Question: Why does my dad always yell at my sister and is really nice to me? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 10:58 PM PDT My older sister is 20 and she's always been distant towards him.. apparently when she was growing up she saw him hitting our mom and him cheating etc. I believe her because I sometimes remember that but nothing too clearly because I was too young at that age. He still has problems with gambling and cheating but the hitting stopped. My sister tries to get my mom to divorce him but it just doesn't happen, and anyway my parents marriage/ relationship is way out of my league to deal with. My sister and my dad ALWAYS fight, and before she left for college whenever they argued he would ALWAYS bring up that she got bad grades and would never get into a good college and thus never amount to anything. And when she did decide on which college to go to, he just said that EVERYONE gets accepted there because it's a low standard uni and she's so stupid she could only get into there, and she will never be anything in her life. My dad is always supportive of me and never says anything like that. I'm 13(girl), and whenever I get a bad grade he just says it's okay that I'm still smart and one bad grade doesn't hurt. And he's always on my side. I don't really argue or yell with anyone, including him. I'm the baby of the family I guess because there's only of us (me and my sister and yes we are full sisters not half or step sisters) (see below for more) Today, my sister was trying to get me to help with taking the trash out but I was laying in bed and I was gonna come out but she was calling my name a few times and then my dad came out to yell at my sister and said that I don't need to help if I don't want to, that if I don't do it someone else will. And then my sister said that she wants me to help (I was but I was on my phone and being lazy) because she thinks I should help out around the house sometime because I live here too and learn to be responsible. And then it escalated into my dad saying that my sister does nothing around the house and she shouldn't be telling others what to do when she doesn't even do anything herself. And she has no social life, doesnt go to school, doesnt have a job and she can't even do one thing. by this time my sister was obviously mad but she just said things like she takes care of the house at least she does that. and its true cause she cleans, does dishes, laundry, cooks sometimes and my dad doesnt clean ever and only cooks for himself sometimes if my mom doesnt. but other than that she doesnt do anything. so why is he so mean to my sister but is always defending me? yes we are both his daughters and yes we come from the same mom. |
Posted: 03 Nov 2017 10:34 PM PDT I am trying to help a friend get in touch with his sister who does not know he exist, his father was stationed in Japan and had a child with a Japanese women, my friend only remembers that his dad wrote letters back and fourth to her and her mom but nothing else, he doesn't know her name but said he would if he heard it. So now I'm wondering is there a place to search for Japanese kids with US men over sease? |
Posted: 03 Nov 2017 10:11 PM PDT He loves to argue and/or play the victim if I make fun of him back. Like he actually enjoys that so it's not a deterrent. If I address the situation directly (again) he'll make fun of me (again) for being too sensitive. At this point I'm just flatly ignoring him. But just out of curiosity I wonder if anyone can think of a better response? |
Question: What is so hard about living by yourself at 16? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 10:07 PM PDT I'm 16 and I don't think I can stand living with my family any longer for various reasons. I already did a bunch of searching I know where I want to move I already have a job so I would be able to pay for it and any other necessity that comes with living on your own but my parents say its hard to live by yourself and I am not grasping the concept of "Living by myself. I don't get it what is so hard about moving out so young. Okay you guys are saying I cant pay for the expenses but I already have a good paying job, the rent is good for the apartment, I already calculated insurance, transportation, food, clothing, and other costs. so unless I'm missing something crucial that hasn't been pointed out to me there is no real reason why I shouldn't move out besides me being young. |
Question: What do i say to my daughter? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 09:38 PM PDT So I've been living with my overweight mother for the past year until my fiance and I can find a home to buy. We had a mold issue in our last house so she welcomed us to come live with her until we could find something. Any who, since we've been here, food has been disappearing right and left and she always lies about it. So i bought a bag of chips for my kiddos earlier and after i woke up from my nap, they were gone. She also has an overweight client that she keeps from time to time and he eats a lot. I didn't know who ate my chips up so I asked my daughter and she told me the my mom ate them. I didn't see her do it so i assumed it was either her or her client. So i said under my breath 'fat *****'....i didnt think my daughter heard me because she was playing a card game with my fiance. Not even 20 minutes later, she went to tell my mom that I called her a fat *****. My mom addressed me and now she's pissed. My daughter doesn't understand my language and I watch my words carefully in front of her because she does run her mouth but I don't understand why she would go back and tell. I curse to myself a lot and she's heard it a couple of times but she never says anything. This one time she did and it's frustrating. I know I should've been more mindful but what should I do other than apologizing to my mother? |
Question: Should older siblings be in charge of parenting the younger children? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 09:04 PM PDT Not just helping out by babysitting, but actually being a full-time parent to a younger child. By that, the older child would be expected to be the ones to discipline their siblings and be the ones to set boundaries for them. Any failure to do so or if a sibling misbehaves, the older kid is blamed for it (just like how a parent is typically blamed for not teaching a child right/wrong and dangerous/safe). |
Question: My Mom's sister gets mad that she doesn't get more praise. How should I praise her? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 07:51 PM PDT She likes it when she is praised and gets mad that she does not get paid attention to enough. |
Question: How do I heal toxic shame that I have from shame-based feelings in childhood? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 07:49 PM PDT I know therapy but looking for additional advise. As a kid I never measured up at school and no one wanted to be my friend cause I wasn't good enough. At home I was safe in my immediate family. Mom-Dad and two siblings, but outside of that my Mom taught us our grandfather from her side of the family didn't love us and chose alcohol over us (he was an alcoholic). We were banned from seeing him whereas our cousins got to see him. I have been trying to make it up to my Mom's family ever since he died in 1998. I was 14 when he died and am 33 now. I go to extreme means to do favors for my Mom's family to prove I am not bad even though I didn't see him as a kid. My Mom would tell us our grandmother (her mother) didn't want a relationship with us because of my Mom's decision not to ask our grandfather over unless he got help. All this I personalized as "I am unlovable and tolerable only". After our grandfather died we got close to our grandmother who died last year and I went to extreme means to make up to her. If I miss a family event now (my Mom still prefers her in-laws over her family for holidays) I feel all the shame from childhood come back. It is like it is 1994 all over again if there is a Thanksgiving that we only see Dad's family or Christmas' where I see my Mom's family but at a different time then the main get together. I went to such extreme means to make up it made people uncomfortable at one time like I was stalking them. I would invite myself to things like an Easter brunch we weren't asked to since it is known my Mom prefers to be with her in-laws. Our Dad's family I am relaxed around since I never felt I let them down. So how do I heal this toxic shame from being rejected in school and feeling rejected by the complicated situation in my Mom's family. My Mom was bitter but maybe being protective. I feel my Mom was sometimes being overly protective by accident other times just mad and subconsciously using us. Anyway, any advise? Now that my grandmother has died I want to overcome this toxic shame that something is wrong with me and the sadness about a loss that ended in 1998. |
Question: I really want to die, but I hate pain? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 07:33 PM PDT How can I die painlessly. All I ever do is **** things up. I make my mother miserable and I know she has to hate me. I am such a piece of **** and I'm so far I'll probably die in the next week or so anyways. I can't even get up and help do the dishes because I don't have the motivation. We were cleaning today and she found a ring, it was junk but it fit me and she wanted it back and we were both joking about it and then she grabbed my wrist and dug her finger into my vein. She does this a lot. I have asked her to stop so many times. And it hurt so bad, it still hurts as I am typing this. And I love my mom but I know she has to hate me because I'm the worst kid a parent can have anyways. I called her a ****, but it wasn't on purpose it mostly just slipped up because I was mad. But I still said it and I hate myself so much I really would rather do my whole family a favor and just kill myself. It's not worth hurting my family to stay alive. I do aweful **** all the time like this to everyone I'm such a piece of **** please just ******* kill me. |
Question: What should I do about my teenage daughter avoiding me? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 07:21 PM PDT My 15 year old daughter never wants to hang out with me anymore. She used to enjoy watching TV with me, but now all she does is come home and go to her room for the rest of the day. All she does in there is sleep, listen to music, talk to friends, and watch videos on YouTube. It really hurts that she doesn't even spend her weekends with me. I asked her why she doesn't spend time with me anymore and she just responds with "I'm so tired when I come home from school." I feel like she hates me. What is happening to my daughter?? |
Question: Is my mom a good mom? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 07:14 PM PDT I don't know if my mom is a good mom. She expects me to do and be my best. She also wants me to be this pinky perfect smart princess daughter. She always call me girly girl. She hates the music I listen to and often yells at me if I do something she doesn't like. Whenever she's at work with dad, I have to clean the house, dishes, bathroom, you know. Often times, after we fight, I hide in my room where I pretend to be asleep if she's awake or at the house. She absolutely loves my autistic brother though. |
Question: How can I become emotionally stronger? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 06:52 PM PDT My dad gets mad and yells at me for the smallest reasons (like wanting him to do something, then he doesn't want to and then yells at me), then tells me to go away, and when I do I cry in secret. It's not like he hates me, but it's not like we have an excellent relationship. I'm pretty sure I'm his least favorite child becuase I'm the oldest, and is probably waiting until I'm 18 to kick me out. I want to either become better, or learn to become stronger and deal with it. My flaws are that I don't obey my parents sometimes, becuase I'm a little lazy (at times), don't eat the best food, am a fan of Pentatonix (my parents think it's a waste of time, but I can't help being a fan), and sleep in too much. But I get good grades and don't have behavior problems at school. I miss the days when my dad used to like me more. It could be adolescence, but IDK. I want to become a better child than be a burden. I am tearing up as I type this, becuase I really want to make them proud of me someday, but none of my parents seem to like me. I don't want to go to a counselor for this, and if you say to do that, I won't. It's not that big of an issue that I can't take care of myself, that's why. |
Question: Am i related to my step cosins step sister? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 06:36 PM PDT |
Question: What do I do about my moms toxic relationship? Read details.? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 06:02 PM PDT My mom has been with this man for almost 3 years. Since I met him he has verbally and PHYSICALLY abused my mom. The only reason she stays is because she mothers his 3 year old son. His real mom is a drug addict who has no problem giving him up (but also won't willingly give up her rights even tho she hasn't seen him since he was an infant) My mom is the only mother he knows. Anyways, I live with them and honestly it's getting too hard to keep my cool and pretend things are ok. My mom feels as tho her only option is to marry him, get custody of his son, and then divorce him. Yet she makes no effort to do anything about the situation. She just cries to me after huge fights about how she hates him and wants to leave. The house environment is extremely toxic. The worst part is that the environment is taking a tole on my little sisters life, and although I'm old enough to leave and get away from it, she is not. I just don't know what to do my mom won't leave him unless she can get custody of his son. Her asshole boyfreind uses his son as a tool to make her stay and threatens not letting her see his son if she leaves. Does anyone have legal advice on how we can win this? Honestly her boyfriend shouldn't even has his rights to his son, he is a horrible father (who brings drugs and danger around his son) They are both ex-cons if that makes a difference. Or just any advice to help my sister and I get through this. I'm desperate my family has fallen apart. |
Question: Why is my sister shy? She's 16 so she shouldnt be like that? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 05:26 PM PDT |
Question: What should I do with my 13 year old son? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 04:59 PM PDT So of course I'm his legal guardian. He is 13 and has been not acting normal and has been really angry. To me he is acting like toddler because he doesn't get his own way all the time. I did let him have his way to a certain extent since it was is birthday on October 20th. But now he is getting angry because I won't let him get GTA 5 and especially because of how he is acting now. I do let him play Halo but nothing with blood and killing innocent people. I won't let him get it till he moves out. Because I don't like those kind of games in my house except when he is 18 and playing it in his room. Also I did let him go trick-or-treating and I told him that this year is his last year for going because he is getting too old for it. I also put his candy up too because I don't want him eating it all and plus he is boarderline diabetic and I'm very strict with that so I locked it up and only let him have 3 pieces a day. He gets angry everytime I say no to something. I'm gonna be taking my son to the doctor this month to see if he has something like Aspergers,Depression or anything like that. He does have AD/HD though. I also won't let him watch Horror movies either. Which I know may some of you may think it is crazy. But I do let him watch shows and movies with tom hanks and that. But no horror movies. As for the video games I let him play like NFL football NBA Basketball. What should I do. He has been mad at me for like 3 or 4 days now. He won't talk even talk to me. he refuses go talk to me. Also impersonating a police officer is illegal. Plus their is no such thing as a yahoo police. |
Posted: 03 Nov 2017 04:28 PM PDT Whenever I'm watching my little cousin she srunches her eyes him she'll make up stories about her brother and she has full hatred for him some days he'll retaliate by secretly pushing her or hit her in the stomach if she starts anything should I get involved or just be paid to just watch her and pretend nothing happened |
Question: How do I keep my Mom from marrying her boyfriend who I can;t stand? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 04:13 PM PDT He lied about my Dad |
Question: How do I heal toxic shame that I have from shame-based feelings in childhood? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 04:08 PM PDT I know therapy but looking for additional advise. As a kid I never measured up at school and no one wanted to be my friend cause I wasn't good enough. At home I was safe in my immediate family. Mom-Dad and two siblings, but outside of that my Mom taught us our grandfather from her side of the family didn't love us and chose alcohol over us (he was an alcoholic). We were banned from seeing him whereas our cousins got to see him. I have been trying to make it up to my Mom's family ever since he died in 1998. I was 14 when he died and am 33 now. I go to extreme means to do favors for my Mom's family to prove I am not bad even though I didn't see him as a kid. My Mom would tell us our grandmother (her mother) didn't want a relationship with us because of my Mom's decision not to ask our grandfather over unless he got help.

Question: My sister is a mean beast. How do I get over my hatred of her? Posted: 03 Nov 2017 04:01 PM PDT She is my younger sister, the older sister is fine, the younger sister is horrible. My brother is good also. |
Posted: 03 Nov 2017 03:55 PM PDT First I want to point out that i want to be a lawyer. I get a lot of questions asking why do you want to be lawyer and to switch my Carreer. I am pretty set on being a lawyer and sorry for my English. But anyways, I am 19 year old guy who graduated high school last year with one of the lowest GPAs you will ever hear. I got a 1.8-1.9 GPA barely pass highshool taking basic courses and still almost flunked out. I believe I have adhd but my doctor never diagnosed me with it and I also starting to believe I have some type of learning disorder that my doctors also didn't diagnosed me with because I barely can learn anything in school. I always forget and always fail ever test and quiz I get and Don't remember anything that is due. My dad is a pretty successful professer and one of the smartest guy I know and I really want to be just like him. All my cousins are doing well and getting accepted to universities but I am in community college right now with maybe. 2.0 gpa. My dad always tells me how stupid and useless I am and this makes me very depressed everyday. I am so tired everyday and can sleep for hours because of my depression. I don't think my dad will send me to college and I don't know what to do. I am not motivated to do well because I know I am a failure because I have never been good at anything. My English to broken, I suck at math, science sports and being single for awhile hurts too. I don't know what to do :( TLDR I am a failure and that my parents basically gave up on me |
Posted: 03 Nov 2017 03:54 PM PDT She won't let us see her kids cause she is mad at one of my uncles as well as my Mom for being good to her "black sheep" child who she resents for not making her look good. |
