So, I'm thirteen. How the flip does a thirteen-year-old even get lice?!?! My mom is so mad at me right now!! She's supposed to be the parent right now, but she's flipping out about it because she's a germaphobic freak! She's just acting like it's my fault, like she hates me. I don't know what to do. I had lice and I'm terrified and my mom hates me because of it

So basically, my parents are on my *** all of the time about certain things. I don't have my driver's license because they won't drive me to the DMV and I don't even have a car yet. (And I'm 20 years old). They're also still making me "be home before dark" whenever I go out somewhere. I'd give anything to move out of their house, but also the issue is I'm on these medications that help with my depression and anxiety. I take them regularly, so there's no issue there, but if I were to move out, I'd have to probably stop taking them, because it's on my parents' insurance. (Also I'm not sure how that all works). I have a job and make $11 an hour, but my mom makes me only take $45 out of my paycheck each time I get it. I roughly make an average of $300-$600 every two weeks. She says it's to pay for college, but I think I should be able to manage my own money, not to mention it doesn't help when it's a custodial account that I share with both of my parents. I don't know what to do.

I'm 13 years old and live in a boring town in Texas. I moved here 2 years ago from Los Angeles, where I was really happy. I was at a school of nerdy, awkward kids like me, and here I'm stuck in a school that doesn't do a good job of anything. I'm autistic, which makes bullying really bad, and I feel like I can't escape it. I love acting and it's something that never fails to make me happy. There are no options for acting here, so I spend most of my time at home crying. I really want to move back where I wasn't depressed and had a chance at a future, with the amount I'm learning now, I have no hopes of getting into a college I want to go to. The problem is my dad wouldn't have a job in LA that makes him happy, and we wouldn't be able to afford a house. What should I do?

It s my turn for dishes but I m not feeling well . It s only me and little sis home atm but when I told her I was sick she was on some bull crap saying she s not cleaning the whole house by herself even though all she did was fold some clothes and made up a single bed. She says to "suck it up". Our mom comes home at 5 and I know for sure that she ll make little sis wash em. Should I not wash em

I am the last in my family of 9. I am 26 and have just finished college and working full-time in what I studied for. I always wanted to travel after college but didn't get the chance. After numerous interviews and assessments, I have got a job for this summer in Greece as a rep which I am leaving in April 2018. I recently told my mum and she got really upset and said I couldn't leave etc and keeps saying Greece is so dangerous etc. Now she is ignoring me and wont talk to me at home. What can I do?

I've got a lot of thoughts running through my head. A few nights ago during an argument with my mom she threw a medicine bottle at me. It hit me in the knee and gave me a bruise. She gave a weak apology and I don't think she's really sorry. My mom and I have fought before but it's never been violent. I haven't told anyone outside my family and I got punished today for leaving home last night without my parents permission. Also last night while we were driving home my parents car hit a coyote that darted out in front of the car. And I feel so guilty even know I wasn't driving. Now I'm in school and all I can think about is the bruise my mom gave me and that coyote we ran over and now I can't focus. What do I do?

Mother says that I need to start being a real daughter and sleep with dads friends. Dad is upset at Mother for flirting with dad friends. Mom says if I got dads friends to do sex on me then mom and dad would finally be happy. I guess ill do it.

i cant do either

I love my best friend to death. It's just lately we have been fighting a lot...we are in high school and I keep telling myself it because of that. We just haven't matured or something today we had a fight because she hates her older sister, I told her that I understand and it's ok to get angry at your siblings. She then said that she's a terrible mother and doesn't know how to raise a child because she smoked marijuana before and I told her each parent chose how to raise them and the past really doesn't determine how much they love their child. Anyway she started getting angry and told me we see things differently and I agreed, because we do. Then she went on to say I don't understand how little things affect kids, and I reminded her that I came from a family that abused drugs and alcohol and that it led to my being sexually and physically abused so i did understand and she knew all of this, but it's like she did it on purpose to hurt me because after she just said ok and now I want to apologize because I know she won't and I really don't want to lose our friendship. But then again I feel she was in the wrong but maybe it was just because she was angry ?

Im being judged for buying a "UNHEALTHY lunch by complete stangers like what i mind my own business and dont say anything like why im skinny so i need to put on some wait and at lunch time at our school we can go anywhere we want so i just go to the nerby lunch store that sells snack,sandwich i just find it rude to say that to someone and especially if you say it to a complete stranger Writing skills what is this english? Its my money so i don't understand why someone stranger would tell me to not buy something

My mother yells constantly all day from the time she wakes up till night. Her and my father fight over any and everything...it's always her fault. She'll get angry asf then an hour later be ok...my dad is literally so stressed from her. She literally yells and cries daily

I've been depressed for almost a year, I tried talking to my parents about it, but they just think I'm lazy and it's just a phase. I don't enjoy anything anymore and I hate myself. My parents know this and yet they still refuse to believe there's something wrong. I can't really talk to my "friends" because they aren't exactly the best to talk to. I don't know what to do anymore.

In real life example: My mother makes over 300k a year and has always been very generous to her children, using her wealth to pay for our apartments, rent, insurance, travel costs. Well last year my mother bought me a BMW as I requested because I had no transportation. Well, now my mother is having a tantrum and has been trying to squeeze me dry of what little money I have saved because she's just that type of toxic person... She has sent me a bill for my health & car insurance. She has sent me a bill for minor damages to property I may have done over the years of living in her house. She has sent me a bill for rent I must start paying. She has withheld my paycheck (I work for her company) in argument that I haven't done the work due. She has sent me a bill for my tuition... I obviously can't afford all of these things. Why would a mother who makes over 300k a year try to financially suck her son dry of his savings by billing him for everything she can and withholding his paycheck? If this continues I'll be in debt in just a few months.

I'm 23. I've never really seen snow before and yesterday we had a lot of it. It's he most snow we've had in this area for ages. I've always wanted have a snowball fight, but everyone disagrees with me. They say I'm too old to have one and that they're only for children. Are they right? Am I too old?

I recently asked my dad to remove a picture he posted of my husband on Facebook. His intentions were nice but the picture he posted was unflattering and downright awful. ( this was a picture that was taken and posted without knowledge or consent) It seems that dear dad doesn't understand any Facebook etiquette. He has been requesting my friends because he thinks the someone showing up in the " you may know" section is people requesting him. To top it all off he comments explicitly on all political posts in an inappropriate manner. My question is was it wrong of me to ask him to remove the picture? Anyone else been in this situation?

So my parents have been arguing for years now. In a month or 2 they're officially separating. I really don't care and if anything I'm looking forward to it, I'll have 2 houses, more Christmas parties and stuff like that and most importantly no more arguments. I don't care and when people ask me about they wonder why I'm so 'heartless'. They ask if I'm angry at my parents for getting divorced and I'm not. I had a 'family meeting' and my parents are probably surprised I didn't get all upset, I just said ok and left. So I'm relieved and I'm glad they're getting divorced.

My daughter is six years old and she started wetting her bed about 2 Weeks ago. She didn't wet herself every night and she never had Problems with bedwetting. I took her to the pediatrician and he said that there is no sign of infection and that it may be because my daughter has some psychological stress because my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer and she knows that he could die. Also, she told me that she's scared to go to bed because she is afraid that she wets the bed and she's very embarrassed about it. I just want to help her so bad. She's going through alot and she shouldn't have to worry about all that stuff. What do you think can I do to help her?

The aunt resents that her siblings love her daughter. It seems odd to me that a mother would have this much bitterness. The daughter's flaw is she does not reciprocate the mother's love from when she was a kid. The daughter is 22.

My teenage daughter is acting really weird. Here's a list of what's happening: - She listens to weird screaming music. - She draws all over herself. - She hates dresses and other girly things. - She plays her brothers video games. - She doesn't want a boyfriend or to be in any relationship. - She hates being social and wants to stay alone. - She wears 'band tank tops' (that's what she calls them) - She's sarcastic and HATES school. - I've had to come and grab a jacket for her because she wore a bad shirt, or had too much skin showing. And she LITERALLY FOUGHT WITH THE STAFF ABOUT HOW IT WASN'T INAPPROPRIATE. -SHE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FOR 10 DAYS BECAUSE SHE GOT IN A FIGHT. Why isn't she like most girls her age?! Why is she acting so weird?!

Long story short. I told my mother my brother raped me when I was 15 years old. She turned to me, said "I expected that" and went back to sleep. The next morning she pretended like I never told her or that anything was wrong. 7 years later. I was angry. I moved to America. I heard my brother and his wife thought about having kids.I emailed his wife with the fear that one day my brother might do the same to one of her daughters. She replied "are you happy now?" I said no of course not. And she said "because that s the way you are"... I also then stopped speaking to my older sister since she went off at me and said I m trying to ruin my brothers life. Anyways, I kept speaking to my mother. Then 11 months ago, I confided in a family friend who already said she didn t want to be my mothers friend anymore (after 25 years of friendship) since my mother constantly lied to her about her boyfriend. This woman was like a 2nd mother to me. Knew her since the day I was born. She then 9 months later confronted my mother and said it s not right and that I m the victim. A month after that she passed away from an illness (unexpectedly). Since the confrontation I haven t heard of my mother. I sent her a happy birthday message 4 months later. She replied but also only for a little. Then the fires here happened in California. STRANGERS messaged me asking if I m okay. Everyone was so worried. I got a mandatory evacuation notification on my phone. I got a mandatory evacuation notification on my phone. A few days later, while still at a different house, I saw my mother shared that video of the enormous fire in California and tagged my older sister saying "look..near Wilshire..this is the path we drove every day. scary".... so she was definitely aware of the fires, knew about my situation, but didn't give a damn. I then commented "your daughter who now lives near wilshire had to evacuate three days ago. I'm okay though. Thanks for asking!" She then deleted the shared post. Didn't even try to reach out. Nothing. What would you have done? I'm wondering if I should cut all ties? keep trying? What the hell do I do? I'm literally just sitting here and I KNOW what she's doing... but I feel like also there is no need in confronting her because she's extremely remote about everything. And she'll make me think that I'm being crazy or absolutely ridiculous.

Ok we invited our aunty to our wedding abroad in indian she could not make it we understood. Before my wedding she wanted to come and visit us but i was ill and also we where very busy we did give a option of another day but she started to act funny when we rang her and said oh im very busy sorry to come on a certain day. After the wedding she said congrats on the phone and soon after she rang saying id thought id let you know we are also going to india, we said okay we will pop round and she said sorry i am busy its ok and after asking never even told us what date she flying on just said in the christmas holidays why is she being horrible? Or weird like that i have known her to be jelous in the past. Also after my marraige she was commenting on my sister in law saying she looks awfull and her clothes on the wedding day looked disgusting! And saying horrible things about my brother in law who is so nice looking and kind but to her judgement is ugly! And i have heard that she might see a wedding in india aswell from a USA family abroad. She never spoke alot on the phone ended the conversation quicky why even tell us you're going to india! What is wrong?

Her birthday is the 26th of December and I accidentally blurred out (ON FACETIME) the 24th because my moms birthday is the 24th. I apologized and said, "I'm sorry I've been sick and I guess I was thinking about my moms birthday" she acted like it was ok but I know she was upset. She said she was embarrassed.. I feel absolutely horrible. It's probably going to eat me up for my entire life because I love her more than anything this universe has to offer. What should I do? How can I fix this?

I've been with my fiancé for almost 6 years. I have pretty terrible anxiety (no meds,no therapy, etc) and because of that, I only spent one Christmas with his dads family (last year.) Needless to say it was really awkward and uncomfortable. The only thing his dad said to me was "nice of you to finally show up." Everyone else acted like I didn't exist My fiancé's dad want him to come again this year. He literally only invites him over once a year. My name was never thrown so my fiancé is just assuming I'm invited but to be honest, I doubt it. What would you do?

PLEASE NO TROLL ANSWERS.. i am 21 year old girl and my dad is 57.. my dad has always been the best father ever.. nothing to complain about! Recently, a lot of the times I am around him, i notice that his pants are sort-of raised and he keeps trying to cover his crotch area either with his hand or a pillow. It doesn t matter if i am getting school help from him or if we are just sitting around watching TV.. I can really compare if I m not directly there obviously. He has never done anything even remotely creepy or weird so i know this is probably nothing to think too far into, but does this happen to others? is this normal?

I'm a 15 year old boy and I already have two sisters. I have a sister that's 17 and a baby 5 year old sister. My older sister and I have the same dad. My mom broke up with when I was like 4. It's been just my sister and my mom until she met a guy and got pregnant. I was a little excited because I wanted a little brother but when it turned out to be an annoying girl I got angry and wish she never got pregnant. So my mom left fhis guy only a year ago. Now she's pregnant again and she's 37 so she almost 40. She don't need another child! I am so upset and embarrassed. Idk what to do. I told my mom I'm angry but she doesn't care I'm just so stress I don't need this in my life :( what should I do about my mom?

If someone's parent made a comment like "I hope your dog dies soon" would it make them a toxic parent or emotionally abusive

I've been thinking about my cousin for a few days now. I don't dream about him, but I do think about him all day. Me and him are kinda going through the same thing right now. His parents are separated and mine too. I feel like I should start connecting with him by doing telepathy. The last time I saw him was 2 years ago, so I don't know why I keep thinking about him.

Having family values, being a heteronormative society and neglecting most minorities. Was the Early 1990s/late 80s the last time it was like this? We have to go back to conservatism.

I have three daughters, two living and one deceased. The oldest and youngest are living, and they're lovely and successful and so good to me. The middle one though, the one who died, was a sociopath who didn't love anyone, not even me or her father, and constantly did evil things. She was mean and hateful from the day she was born, but she got addicted to drugs at 14 years old and got even worse then. She would steal from us for drug money, refuse to go to rehab, manipulate us, lie to us, etc.. I loved her because she was my daughter, I really did and I still do, but she was not a good person. She got pregnant by a man who was the complete opposite of her, a successful, hardworking, goodhearted man, and gave birth to my granddaughter in 2000. Shortly afterwards, she died, leaving my granddaughter and my granddaughter's father behind. My granddaughter's father is absolutely incredible – he's become like a son to me. I met him two months before my daughter died, so, in a way, I feel like he replaced my daughter. He takes such good care of me and my granddaughter, and he's truly the most incredible person I know. My granddaughter is amazing, too. She has a great head on her shoulders and is full of so much love and respect. I would never tell anyone in my real life this because it feels me with guilt, but I love my granddaughter and her father so much more than I ever loved my deceased daughter. Is this wrong? Am I a terrible person? I feel evil saying that I feel like my granddaughter and her father replaced my daughter, but that's really how I feel

So I have 2 kids and recently moved back into my parents to finish school, they offered to help with all financial needs and I really appreciate that so I'm taking advantage. Problem is I got molested and raped by my brother (reported). My parents know about it and they go by like it's nothing he is in jail and asks for me constantly and has wrote to me numerous times. They push me to write to him and talk to him when he calls and I tell them "how do you expect me to talk to him he's dead to me" I honestly want to move out but if I do I won't be able to pay for college and I know I'm being selfish but they helped him many times they have bought him 5 cars and all he has crashed cause if his drug addiction. I know the best way is to move out and never see them again but they are my parents what can I say so they can understand me. Even if I move out when I visit them they will push me to talk to him like before. Why don't they understand my pain? I act tough around them and act like it doesn't bother me but it's embarrassing to admit I cry because of what he did to me. Because of him I have trust issues I can't have a relationship because I feel like they will all harm me like he did. My brother that was suppose to be there for me and take care of his little sister damaged me bad I can't trust anyone.

I grew up a good girl and got in with the wrong crowd when I was about 20. I acted like an idiot for a year or two. I was a stripper. I got high on pills. I dated a guy who cheated on me and got another girl pregnant. I feel like my dad doesn't look at me the same. Idk what happened. Some background: I got started to get angry about my life when I was 17. I found out I couldn't have kids. My mom moved us around a lot even to shelter homes and kept getting back together with my alcoholic step dad. She told me I was a rape child (even tho I wasn't) . she pretty much mentally abused me but people thought she was the nicest person ever. I'm even the only sibling who really gets treated this way. I'm the oldest only daughter of hers. I just want to know if someone can relate and if I'm crazy.

My husband and I have had our ups and downs, but we live in a house my parents own for 5 years now and decided they "didn t approve" of the way we handle or issues and told him he cannot live with me anymore in their house. So im alone with our two kids and im so sad and I miss him. We are hating it. If I move out with our kids into a new home that is OURS, my parents will hate me. I feel like I m having to chose. I chose my husband. What would you do?

She hates hanging out with kids her age and under she rather hang out with adults. I found witch craft stuff under her and then I went on her laptop and found this thing called "wattpad" she writes stories about bad relationships, strippers and killing! She follows this fashion called nymphet and soft grunge. She listens to bands like the beatles, nirvana and more rock music the only solo artist she likes is this girl called lana del rey and I haven't heard any of her songs. I'm really scared is my daughter demonic??

my parents are really abusive. they tell me to kill myself and shout in my face. they've hit me and gotten out knives. they want to give up their parental rights, because they don't love me or like my beliefs. would i go to foster care or something like that? who can i call to get this done? i don't know who to talk to, and i'm scared. anyway, my dream is to go to college. my parents are giving my college money to my cousin and spending the rest on vacations. i get really good grades, and i want to get scholarships. i work really hard everyday. is it possible to even pay for a four-year university on my own? i'm just really sad, and i would really appreciate it if someone could say some kind words. i'm 15, and i'd like to think i'm nice.

My friends and I are thinking of staying the night in another town since we have a lot of friends there. A parent of one of our friends is taking us. The town is only 15 minutes away. I haven't asked them yet, and I'm planning on lying and saying that it's a school related thing that requires me to stay the night. They don't let me sleep over EVER, because they believe it'll ruin my studies and make me a rebel. Does anyone had any ideas on what I can do or any lies I can come up with? I'm an Asian teenager. And I'm 14 years old.

How can I do this without guilt or feeling sorry for them

Today she's been mean. We were eatting lunch with people we know and we were running late since we had to get Christmas pictures taken. I told her she should of told us yesterday that she decided to have im our pictures taken today. She said she didn't want to hear what I said. Then she got mad at me because I didn't understand something instantly and I was asking questions. She told me she didn't have to tell me how to do something and I can figure it out. Advice?

We are three sisters in 50s now. I am the youngest. One of my sister told me that my other sister and niece think that I am little "slow." I am not sure what made them think that since I am a college graduate professional with successful carrier. I have made money last twenty years and shared with them because my sister and niece are not as well to do as I am. I have given them best gifts, paid their debts, thinking what I have is theirs because I have no children to share anyway. Now I hear that "I am slow." They dont say stupid, just "slow" insinuating somewhat retardation. I am hurt and my feelings have changed toward my sister and niece since I heard that. We are not that young anymore to fight like teenagers. What do i do with their remarks and how do I react them anymore?

My 15 y/o step sister is very disrespectful. I know I shoudnt get involved but when she's screaming at my mom I need to. Her dads on a business trip. I'm a 38 y/o male. So i feel Bc I'm so much older than her that I should be able to step in. What should I do?

my ex is on disability and recieves 500 a month on disability of their own work history so our child will recive 250 in auxilarry benefits. Will this cover the child support obligation.

I hate her so much. She hits me, yells at me and my stepdad and dad do nothing about it. She continues to blame all of her problems on me and gets drunk. Everytime she gets mad nowadays she'll tell me I have to give her money or pay the phone bill. I want to move out but I have no idea what to do. I would love to cut off all connection with her but I know Ill miss my sister. Will it be worth to sacrifice our relationship for my happiness?

I want to travel alone to Switzerland in 2 months to see a friend of mine. I have met the friend before on a previous trip but my mum hasn't met them. She says she trusts me but she doesn't trust other people as I could get hurt at the airport, or in the country etc. She says I'm too young to travel and I understand her concerns but I just think I'm responsible enough to travel by myself. My friend has said I am happy to stay with them for 2 days and they will pick me up from the airport and take me back and then I will go back home. My mum has spoken to my friend on facetime before but she still says I am too young and she doesn't trust other people. I'm a 16 year old girl btw. How can I get my mum to let me travel? Update: The friend is a boy who is also 16. He said his parents are fine with me staying at their house and they are fine with driving me around to sightsee etc.

My son-in-law hates me because at the beginning of his relationship with my daughter I was against it. I've explained later that any mother would feel the same (my SIL came from a broken family, and a family friend who knows his family informed me that he was doing drugs in high school, only two short years before he met and started dating my daughter at college). He seemed to accept my apology, and I thought everything was fine, but after a time he would start being cold again, although I didn't do anything. My daughter always sides with him and it's rather sad. After they got married, he calls my husband "dad" but still calls me by name. This weekend, my small grandson stayed at our place; I kissed him good night, telling him I love him, and he asked why I love him but hate his dad. He's only 3.5 y/o. I am shocked and hurt! I didn't know my SIL taught his son to hate me too. I've apologised at least 3 times throughout the years. Isn't it a bit overboard to harbor deep resentment for years? Am I right that my SIL might be rather vindictive?

I currently have 5 more months until I graduate from an Accelerated associate program(I have to take 26 credit hours a semester and 12 in the summer in order to finish the two years in one) and it seems as if the closer I get closer to graduating the worse my mom is acting. She and my step dad disrespect me 24/7 I constantly get blamed for when my stepdad doesn't wash the dishes and she says its my job. Last night when I went downstairs to get a bottle of water my stepdad threw 5 dirty dishes into an already full sink and dish rack(he made because he cooked dinner for himself and my mom) and went upstairs to go to sleep knowing that if I didn't wash them I would get in trouble. I have to clean the house almost everyday because they're slobs and my little sister expects me to clean after her as well! I plan on transferring to another school and almost every night my mom is constantly trying to tell me that I'm not doing anything to help my college financial situation when I have a scholarship that will pay for my tuition wherever I go and I currently have a 3.8 GPA Update: Just now my mother went off on me for not giving her and my stepdad $1800 when I agreed to give it to her to help fix his car. She told me she would let me know when she needed it and now she's saying she doesn't remember saying that and is telling me I'm selfish and that I have to pay for our phone bill. I also have to take lyfts to school everyday(average of 20-30 dollars a day) because she wouldn't allow me to get my license. Now after having to pay $600 for driving lessons I have a test scheduled this friday I have a feeling she won't give me her old car which she proclaims is mine smh. My stepdad used it while his car was in the shop and disrespected it my driving it around knowing that something was dragging on it and that the engine light was on along with a flat tire.
