I don't care that she kicked me out.I was sick of the nonstop screaming.I thinks it pretty shitty and I am kind of worried she is going to tell everyone what she read in my diary. I would never read her diary even it was on her bed , it is private.

My grandma said we are not going to get a cat, and my sister had a tamper tantrum about it, she said "Good I don't want it anymore" later on when my grandma left the room my sister was still crying curled up in ball while whining about her stress and anixiety, I just laughed about it, yes I am kind of a jerk to my twin sister.

Only in the dreams I cannot wait to get away or I yell at them to back off and respect me.

I'm a senior in college who has recently come home from the break. I come home to the news that my financially unstable, immature, younger sister is pregnant. To make it worse, she's already 4 months pregnant. I'm the only one out of my family who's gone to college and will get their bachelor's pretty soon. I don't do drugs or alcohol, and I manage to get good grades, yet, my mom has never recognized this. She's never asked about my college career or even grades. I'm always the one telling her about them, only to hear the same response, "that's great." Since coming home, she spends all her time with my younger sister. Other than the first day when I came home, she hasn't acknowledged me once. I'm not the biggest emotional person, but this has honestly made me cry since coming home. I'm not home for months, and when I do show up, I'm completely ignored. I'm not sure what I'm asking for, but emotional advice is something I need right now.

Hello everyone, My ex and I have three kids (6 year old, 4 year old and a 2 year old) She said she going to put me on child support because I found out that she's isn't treating my kids right and I confront her about it. And I'm wondering if I want to keep my kids for a week and she take them for a week too, will the state say no to that? She act like I have no right to my kids and she's the only one that can do anything with them. I am a good father, I love my kids and they love me to death. She only let me see them every other weekend and when I'm dropping them off, they will always be crying saying they don't want to go to her. Last night I ask my 6 year old why they always don't want to stay with their mom and he said " mommy is very rude to us". My heart drop and felt so bad for my kids because I love them. What can I do in this situation? Any answer will help. Thanks

So I haven't bought a new game since September and yesterday I wanted PUBG and my mom asked what eating it was, I told her how this game she already let me get on pc and now I wanted it on Xbox she said no and I said ok. The thing is two days before this my brother got a $40 game then the next day he bought a game without my parents permission. He's older than me and even though this is his second time doing it my parents found out and still let him play it. Now I asked why I couldn't get a $30 game for myself with my own money, and my mom got really mad. I know life isn't fair and all that but this just seems like picking favorites to me. I don't know.

I didn't really know how to ask, but what I'm wondering, does the kid call one of you "dad" and the other "daddy"? Or do they call both of you "dad" and you just have to guess which one he's talking about? Same things apply to moms, I just didn't want to have to write that whole question again with Mom instead of dad Thanks for the answers in advanced (except for you trolls)

so, since i was 13 years old, my brother and i's mutual friend lived with us, he used to have problems with his uncles since his parents died and he lived with his grandma. so his uncle would kick him out and threaten his grandma if she let him over. we never decided that he can stay with us, but he just kept coming over and would sleepover until it became a habit... every freaking night. today, that i am 25 he still lives with us. he became like a brother to us and so it became difficult to tell him to get out. but even then my family never thought about telling him to go away because we felt bad for him. now here is where the problem starts. recently, we started noticing things disappearing and we would never find them. he doesnt work and he is a smoker, but always manages to find a way to get his ciggs. we have no proof that he steals, but its becoming too strange to ignore. a couple of months ago, my aunt who came from abroad, she stayed with us for awhile before she finds herself a house to rent, so she had her own room upstairs that doesnt have a lock. she still has alot of her belongings in the room now that she moved out (about a week ago), and so we decided that nobody will enter her room. however, today we found that the door was open and probably some of her stuff are going to be missing. guess who just got back from the dentist's office today and got a filling? yepp, he did. now how do you tell someone to get out in such a complicated situation?

My best friend lost her 6 year old daughter 2 weeks ago to a 5 year battle with cancer. My friend and her family are obviously devastated. I've been over at the house cleaning, cooking, caring for the other kids etc while they grieve, but I am genuinely concerned about my friend. She hasn't gotten out of bed, she's barely eaten, hasn't spoken... The only time she's actually gotten up was for the funeral (and had to be medicated to get through the day). She's really, really suffering and it's awful to watch. I feel helpless because I just don't know more I can do. They've had a therapist come over to try and talk with her but she's shut everyone out and won't speak. She has 2 other little girls (7 & 4) who are also really hurting and need their mommy right now. She hasn't spoken to or even looked at her other daughters since the other one passed. If anyone has any advice to offer it would be much appreciated 💛

Ok so my dad came home from work one night and said that many things on his profile were changed. My sister was at a friends house at the time and I was grounded so I was force to stay in my room the whole time. I thought it was weird since I was home alone and hadn't touched the darn thing.My dad thought it was me but I swore up and down it wasn't me. So can somebody hack your Ps4?

my grandma is very bipolar and she can get a little crazy sometimes and i understand that she's at that age already but sometimes i just want her to understand that i'm happy because she thinks i'm depressed because of all the family problems i have , including my step dad, she literally hates him , (said by her) and she cries for me and i tell her i'm happy because i actually am, i entertain myself with other hobbies but she doesn't believe me. i honestly don't know what to do anymore

My mom emotionally abuses me and I get the feeling she doesn't really like me. My dad is less emotionally abusive but he sometimes hurts me but when I tell him to stop he just says that it didn't hurt. My parents both treat me like garbage. My 8-year-old brother follows suit and has no respect for me. If my parents leave me to babysit him and I tell him he can't do something he attacks me. He's only 8 so it's not a real problem but I can't tell my parents because they'll just tell me it doesn't hurt so I should just ignore it. My little brother also constantly tells me he hates me. I'm 16 and have to wait 2 more years to move out. I don't think I can make it 2 more years without killing myself. She amazingly took me to therapy once and the therapist said that I should go and do more stuff away from the house but my mom didn't really think about that idea much.

A long time ago My dad and Mom were arguing about something I forgot because i was very young and I think he was drunk, and things got too far and they started yelling at each other and my dog kept barking so my dad shoved my dog very hard and my dad got a knife and held my mom and pointed at her throat and I was crying at the point I felt I was gonna throw up but luckily my dads brother held him back and the cops came and took him and I remember sitting next to my mom brother and this one cop and I'm crying and I could see the pain and fear on my moms face and her tears and I assumed he went to jail for a couple weeks after I think, I don't remember, but a couple years later aka 2017, whenever I look at my dad that memory comes back to me (I'm still young not saying my age)

I am a 26yo male working in accounts payable. Most of my co-workers are women and roughly 10 years my senior. Ever since I ve worked there, they comment how well I smell. Its become to the point they all sniff me throughout the day. One woman even GAVE me her husband s cologne and asked if I could where it to work! I ve talked to HR, a woman, and asked me "If this is a big deal I can talk to them, but if it s not..." My boss, a woman, knows what s going on because she makes casual jokes about it and on times has jokingly told them to stop. Like "umm, okay ladies, that s enough hehehe." It s getting to the point where they walk by and poke at a muscles and gawk at my frame, "Jesus....when you re in your 20 s huh?" What should I do? I m afraid my HR rep isn t going to take this seriously even though I ve talked to her about it four times already.

So my grandma wants me to stay at her house for 1 day. My parents are saying I'll stay till new years. They're convincing me (my mom) to stay longer. Apparently 6 years ago when I was 6 almost 7 I was hyper af and didn't wanna come home. But I'm a teen now I think I'm mature enough not too. XD But they're (my mom) stressing me out ack

I'm 23yo male. In 1-on-1 talks, I behave like a kid to my mother but like a manly man to my dad. It's extremely difficult to keep this up. I don't know which is the real me. So whenever they both get together I have a hard time and deciding which personality to use and I end up not talking at all. What should I do?

I am 24 and live at home with my folks and older sis who is 46 and legally blind. My mother suffers from lupus and dementia now after have brain surgery last yr. So I came home from across seas to help tend to her. It has been almost a yr and I feel depressed and used. My parents keep belittling me saying I'm lazy and don't wanna work but I've had a job since 15! Everytime I ask to use the car I'm told no unless they need me to pick my older sis up from work who is my moms bio daughter. Everytime me and my sis argue, my mom sided with her and tells me I need to figure out a living situation cause I bring drama. Now that all my money is gone, I feel used. No1 will even take me to finish my college enrollment! I've had plenty job offers and everytime I get an interview... they refuse to take me or make up lies. My sis can drive and she is blind and hit some1! But they let her drive. Makes no sense to me. Idk what to do, my life is passing me by. I have no1 to help me all my other sisters left and have kids so they can't help me. They got tired of my moms verbal abuse which she has done since we were kids. She throws in our faces we are adopted and she wishes she never adopted us. I never asked for this.... I have been crying to my bf all morning as he knows. What do I do?

What do we do? We can't afford to call a professional to fix it.

I have never had a good relationship with my sister. We open presents on Christmas Eve an have a family dinner Christmas Day. I lost my husband 13 years ago and raised my daughters on my own. Since my daughter was born my parents have never come over to watch her open presents they have always only gone to my sisters house. Many years my daughter and I have gone to my sisters house ans watched her family open presents. But the past few years we have stayed home and just had Christmas Eve to ourselves. This upsets my mom she wants us to go watch then open gifts To tell the truth my feelings are hurt no one cares to see my daughter open her presents. And for her she has to leave her gifts watch another family gift exchange. If I say no our Christmas will be ruined because my mother will refuse to speak to either my daughter or I. I just don't know how to handle this or what to do.

It my gf's idea She gets a little overzealous with the punishment thing.I have to be the main disciplinarian and make sure my daughter doesn't end up in jail or a spoiled princess like her mom.My daughter got three needs improvement and 15 excellant on her behavior color wheel chart this month.She only gets the needs improvement on my day to have her. My exwife brought that up and wants to take me back to court for full custody after my daughter made a video of My gf and me nagging our seven year old about her weight and grilling her about stuff and getting mad when my daughter lies stammers or doesn't answer.My exwife also refuses to tell me or lies about when her events and games are, because my gf and I explode and act crazy when she doesn't do as good as she could have.My gf wants to make her drink an entire bottle of soap every time w she refuses to answer us while being interrogated , but isn't that stuff toxic? I already had cps over here and I don't want to lose my custody rights but I don't want her to be a brat either. We interrogate her about what her mom is doing and why she got a needs improvement and the one day she ran away and walked to her grandma's house and was really upset. The school seems concerned about how upset she gets when we pick her up.

My older sister & I got him an $87 watch. He said he didn't want it bc the watches he wears are $1,000. He said that I should try to call the company and get a refund for it.

So my parents really hate me. I hate them too. They say 'I have an attitude '. And I do nothing to help in this family. They have had me enrolled in Virtual school for the longest time and I hated it. I've been sorta depressed during this time. So my grandma wanted me to be at her home for a day. Idk what happened. My mom slapped me awake and told me I won't be home for Christmas. They said I'm staying at my grandma's this Thursday until new years because they refuse to pick me up. They took my tablet and banned me from everything. Wth mom

My sister and I were both grounded this weekend. Friday night, my sister tried to sneak out through her bedroom window, and our parents caught her and were all mad about it. And then, they decided they didn't trust either of us anymore, and wouldn't let me just stay in my room for the rest of the night! I was stuck being out where they could see me, which I thought was so unfair because it wasn't like I was the one who snuck out! Was this fair?

My father is incredibly verbally abusive to myself and my siblings. He has threatened me with violence and treats me terribly. My mother doesn't consider it abuse, and my father thinks that he's a good parenting but was abused himself as a child. Who should i talk to about this? If i talk to directly to my father he may attack me and i don't know what could happen. Please help, thank you.

My family is leaving for Florida vacation in a few days. I am desparately looking for a job

We will be seeing him Christmas Eve at his house

It may be that they're just too busy understandably but how do I have a good Christmas when it's just my mom and I and her friends otherwise? My grandparents have died and I have no dad and so no paternal family. My mom and her brother and sister and their families are all I have and her sister is overseas. So how can I still have a really good Christmas even if I just see my mom and her friends? It feels weird to be seeing my moms friends instead of family.

Aside from your own personal timeline or impatience of having kids asap or postponing it, if you looked objectively at the advantages of having your kids first or last out of all your siblings, would would you choose to do? I can think of advantages to each, and feel free to add your own too: Advantages to having them first: -Might be a little more excitement from the extended family -if it matters to you, your kid will have undivided attention for at least a little bit Disadvantages to being the first to have kids: -you have to break the family in to having kids around. Nobody's used to having a high chair, screaming baby, messy toys around, etc -your kid won't have anyone to play with, as they'll be the only one for a while. Advantages to having your kids last: -your kids will always have playmates and will never be bored at family functions -everybody is all reaccustomed to having little ones around, no culture shock -handme downs! -In some family dynamics, the youngest will be as cherished as the oldest if not more so, because everyone figures they'll be the last babies to pass through. -depending on family dynamics, they may have less pressure and harsh criticism. Everyone expects more of the older kids, not just with behavior, but with learning, reading, walking, etc. If your kid is a little behind, it'll be chalked up to age, but if your kid is outdoing the cousins it's even more impressive because s/he is younger!

When I lived with my mom she would have lots of strange men over at our house and take drugs with them I had to resort to going upstairs to my room and pushing a chest of drawers Infront of the door sometimes I would go without food for days the only food I would get would be dinner at school sometimes id come home from school and my house would be locked I had to sit on the steps in the Cold for hours waiting for my mom to get back she's be drunk of course I remember picking mold off bread then toasting it cos it was Stale my clothes where always dirty thankfully I had a nice teacher who everyday would wash my school uniform I would take it off at then end of school put on normal clothes and give her my uniform to wash and it would be washed and ironed for me the next morning so basically social services took me from her for neglect and they found my dad now he has full custody of me and I'm really happy with him I left my mom when I was 13 now I'm 14 almost 15 and she keeps calling me saying she wants me back saying she's going to gang herself without me I don't want her to kill herself should I go back

Money makes me happy my parents are divorced my mom has a lot of money my dad has nothing when I lived with him my shoes were falling apart my screen on my phone was cracked to Peices everyone at school use to laugh at me but my mom got full custody of me (3 years ago) now I have everything I ever wanted everything I own is highend I'm definitely more happy with my mom I still love my dad but I don't wanna go back and live with him now I go to a private school I have my own car people say money can't buy happiness well it can for me

People always say that I m lucky to have overprotective parents, because they care about me. They said that I ll understand once I get older, but I don t really agree. Even now, at 17, I still don t understand. And maybe I won t even when I m in my 20 s. They say "You re not a child anymore!" Sometimes and others it would be "You re still a child!" It makes me confused on how they really see me. I think it s because that when I was a kid, I trusted people too easily, and ended up with consequences because of it. But, I ve learned from that. It was a really long time ago. Maybe that just never left their minds? I know they love me, but still, I m having mixed feelings about their over protectiveness. I can t really explain it well, but inside, I have a feeling that they still see me as a naive kid that trusts too easily even when I grow older, which frustrates me because they don t even know me outside of our home. They don t know how I act, they don t know what I do and they don t even know me as a person that other people see. How can I deal with this?

My sister is pregnant she feels like she's gonna be sick she also feels hot and cold. She can't cover up with her blanket or she'll be too hot but when she takes it off she gets freezing cold. It's 5:30 in the morning she can't sleep. How can I help her ?

My parents keep telling me not to judge people when they drink or have sex or do something wrong, but to the contrary, they judge me and my siblings when we curse or fight, they're hypocrites. Why do they stop me to judge when they do the same? Why do they even stop me, like come on, I'm 14 now, but it seems like I'd always remain a 4 years old to them, why can't I just do whatever I want?

especially if they were not your friends prior to dating your former significant other

She's obsessed with becoming a makeup artist and thinks that she won't be able to be one when she's older if she doesn't start now. My daughter read in an article that some children start VERY young and become professionals later on (e.g figure skating, painting, instruments, etc). I constantly have to fight this battle with her. People can start later on and get the job they want too! I know this is frustrating for her, but as a parent I'm particularly worried that makeup will damage her skin. Schools do let kids wear makeup here, but I think she should wait until she's older.

I've been really trying to get my boyfriends parents a gift to make a good impression on them it's taken me weeks to get everything I wanted. I was worried it wasn't going to be enough. My bf and I have been together for about 2 years but we weren't too serious last Christmas like we are now. I didn't want to over do the gifts to make it seem like I'm trying too hard to please them. I got them a few things and bath and body works, candle, nice candle holder, hand soap, body wash, and lotion none feminine or masculine, homey scents.Then I also got them this cute oven mitt with cookie mix inside. It came down to about $80 for everything. I'm 19 and a student. I spent more on them than I did my own family. I went over today and gave them my gift, the dad laughed at the stuff I got and they didn't seem too thrilled the dad said nothing masculine was in there. I don't even know his parents much and they didn't seem like they appreciated it so that really hurt my feelings and felt like a waste of time and money. The gift they got me ended up being a leftover ornament they didn't use.. it had a $3 tag on it. I'm a very appreciative person but I just don't find this to be a real gift, I don't have a tree and on top of it Christmas is in a week after the holidays the ornament is nothing. They aren't a poor family either, the dad actually got a 75k raise. Makes over 6 figures. I didn't expect much but at least a lotion or something I could actually use that is a gift.How would you feel

My mother passed when I was 9 years old to cancer. When I was 12 my father married a lady and we moved in together. Everything was good until I turned 15. She would physically abuse me and would lock me in my room (switched the door handle) until I went to school. One day she took all of my mother's belongings and destroyed them or tossed them while I was at school. I demanded I move in with my grandmother and my father filed for devorice. A few months later the devorice was cancelled and my father lied saying it was on hold because he owns a business and he didn't want her taking all his money. Well that was 3 years ago and now I found out he admitted to cancelling the devorice so he could be with her again. He said I have to call her mom no matter what she did or I have to change my last name. Should I disown him?

So she tends to allow junk to pile up on her room, while cleaning up some of the water bottles, soda cans, etc I found what I think is her diary. It was weird... I don't know how to feel about her after reading it. She writes about people at her school who she likes, and how they're all girls who are straight, she writes about how the universe is preventing her from dating by making her like straight girls. She writes about how she wishes she was straight too.. She apparently feels uncomfortable around guys, and she doesn't feel comfortable hugging most guys, she apparently was touched when she was about 13 by a guy In front of a bunch of people who didn't do anything to stop it so she feels like "it's pointless to tell since because no one stopped it it probably wasn't a big deal". She goes onto write her old friend's grandpa did it. She writes " he started poking my leg and moved up to more personal areas. I was too anxious to tell him to stop. I ended up hiding behind my friend who was standing next to me, later on she said she saw him doing that. She told me he does that to her sometimes. He apparently often will put his hands up her skirt and stuff. But he rarely visits her so it isn't a big deal to her. " She's 15 now, and we moved away and it's been over a year since she has seen that friend and her friend's family. Do you think she was lying about being touched? She does tend to overreact... What should I do?

So my parents do a lot for me and we have a really good relationship. What are some ways I can show more appreciation and make them happy? I already do tons of chores and my siblings do the other ones so Our house is always clean, so a surprise cleanup wouldn't really work. I express my appreciation a lot and I know they know I'm greatful, but they deserve something more. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've been going through some rough times and everytime I go through a rough time my family never reaches out to me. I just don't think I'll be in the best of spirits if I go there and I don't want to be the downer. my parents just cater to my three younger sisters and I think really highly of my brother because he's in the military. I just been out on my own paying my own way through college trying to get jobs and keep a roof over my head and dealing with all the struggles in life which I'm sure everyone else is but I never have any support. My friend show me more support than my own family maybe I should spend Christmas with them?

So I got into a LOT of trouble at the end of July and i lost my phone, iPad, and Xbox. Since it's been 5 months, I think that it's been a reasonable amount of time for me to not have my phone. (Btw the 2 other people I got in trouble with got everything back 3 months ago) I asked my mom when I can have my phone back and she said that I could have it right now if it were up to her, but I would have to ask my dad for it because she's too scared to. My dad is the most short tempered, impatient, scary man you'll ever meet, but I'm never going to get it back if I don't ask him. How do I ask him for it delicately? P.s. I was thinking about asking him for it for Christmas, but I don't know how to

this would probably be lengthy. I have lived here in america for a year now. I got here nov 2016 and I started to work with no fcking experience because of my brother. I was so blinded by the idea of living here and working here would be better. Yes I agree but he was very difficult to live with. even before I went to america he's been very difficult to deal with and I was too nice of a guy to help him out financially. he did pay me back but I forgot and I don't care anymore. yes he does nice stuff in some ways but I don't like his decision making, attitude and way of thinking. He mistreats me and thinks that he can do all these things to me just because he thinks he can get away with it because he's so called FAMILY. He's hard to talk to about serious adult stuff and that's why I don't like being around him. HE DOESN'T ACT HIS AGE. he's 30+ for ****'s sake and emotionally hostages me? he's so passive aggressive when things don't go his way or when he doesn't get the upper gain of things. I want to send a message and be done with it but I'm so afraid of conflict. he might sue me for not paying rent at the apartment I used to live in. I've stopped living there for 3 months now and still expects me to pay electricity and water because he wants "HELP" financially. that's not my problem. I don't know if I should talk to the landlord about it, send a message to him and just be done with. I'm so hesitant. I keep asking for other's opinion...please help :(

I am a shy girl and I don't have any friends (nor do I have a boyfriend). I have tried making friends but it is sometimes difficult for me. I feel like people either ignore me /don't want to be my friend or I don't feel like I just don't click with the people I talk to. The college I go to has a lot of students from NOVA (northern virginia) and most people from that area tend to be rude and snobbish due to a lot of rich people living in that area. I am originally from the south where people generally are nice and friendly. My mom keeps saying mean things about my shy personality. She compares me to a family friends daughter and says how she is outgoing and has so many friends while I don't and it sort of puts me down. I told her that I am not happy at the out of state college that I go to and I think part of the reason is because I don't have a car (my parents won't allow me to have a car). The college I go to is not in a big city so a car is a primary means of getting around the city. However, my mother insists that I don't like the college because of my personality. She complained that our family friend daughter is happy at her college (she goes to college in Los Angeles) and it is because she is outgoing and I am shy. My mother makes it seem like there is a problem with me. Should I feel like there is something wrong with me because I am shy?

It's been a life long problem, I guess you could say. When I was little, I wouldn't play with the ugly kids. My parents and grandparents said I was the most beautiful child in he family, I wouldn't dare let them down, and be caught talking to someone who would make me look bad. The older I get, the better I am. Right now, I know that I am better than most people, including my mom and dad, my sister, brothers, friends, coworkers, and all of you. How do I get over this superior complex, and bring myself down to everybody else's level? I wasn't just beautiful, I was the most beautiful. There was 25 of us in the family. I was also the most beautiful in my school, and town. Everybody knew me, because of my looks, and how much better I dress and act than them. Other females try to compete with me, but I just laugh at them. Especially since I know, I can have any man, including theirs. I don't think everyone is my equal, not in terms of beauty, class, or style. That would be a lie. I can't live with lies. I did try talking to a counselor, but when she wanted me to sit down at her desk in a filthy chair, I refused to stay in her office, because I didn't want to get dirty.

We are all adults and college educated but I think my family is ******* weird and crazy. Mom: practice law.... clueless about everything. she is complaining a lot about small things my older sister: practice law... bad temper. drama queen and a bully. When she constantly fought with people in her office. And sometimes when she comes to our parents house, she got angry at me for no reason. She is weird and has a poor communication. My younger sister: well spoiled. She is married and has 2 boys. but she was too lazy to work (when she just got graduated from college). I was working my *** off and she was dating all the time with her BF (now her husband). drama queen.... 3 women in my family went to law school and they are somehow "weird", "annoying" and "bad temper". I'm sick and tired of those women.... About 7 years ago, I had a brawl with my older sister. We were going to our grandma cemetery and we were in the same car. She yelled at me in car for no reason. I yelled back and suddenly she got our from the car and yelling like a maniac. I was running back to our parents house and was running to the garage. Suddenly, she was running at me and she was pulling my shirt off. Of course, I pushed her away. And then she ran away. The next thing I know, she told her husband that I punched her.... wow! she was crazy and depressed. and manipulative by telling her husband that I punched her. Really delusional and dangerous. I was really confused why she acted like a crazy woman. move out.... yes I moved out.... but like I said, we have family gathering during christmas (yes in a week), during our parents birthday..... probably we meet about 5 times a year..... my parents are clueless.... all they can say, make peace with your sisters. Well I tried and they keep acting like that.... so it's pointless.

I'm 21, a senior in college, live with my parents and they clearly dislike me. They say that I'm just a moosh and that I don't act like a "team member". They're upset by the fact that I don't like to give money towards the house every pay period. They claim that I don't sacrifice for the house, & that I'm selfish. I'm not good at being a family person. My parents are also religious and don't like the fact that I don't believe in God and that I'm not spiritual. So what should I do to reconcile my relationship with my family, and be a better family person?

He has always been a drinker. It used to be just on weekends (my mom had full custody of me, and I'd spend weekends with him) where he'd drink Friday and Saturday night, and be hungover and a lame couch potato on Sundays. This was YEARS ago when I was 8-11. Now I am almost 23 and he STILL does this. Only both of his parents and my mother have died so now it's an every night thing. His dad died first in 2014 and since then it's been every day. Then with his mom and my mom last fall it stayed the same. He is 53, 54 in February. He is a good person with a good heart, but he is weak. He is overweight (beer gut I think, very round and hangs over his pants quite a it) he has diabetes already and high blood pressure, taking pills for everything. I tell him every day he should stop drinking beer and it will help ALL his problems and that as a diabetic he shouldn't be drinking at all really. He says to me beer has no sugar. He's also not very bright. I don't mean that in a mean way, I'm sure its the liquid on the brain but he can't function without me now that my mom is gone. He asks me how to do literally EVERYTHING. Has no idea how to do laundry or wash dishes. I tell him something 94 times and he still gets the wrong this from the store. He doesn't remember anything I tell him usually and he is a MEAN onbnoxious drunk. He doesn't have a good enough job to live somewhere on his own so I can't really kick him out, but I am raising my nephew and he is MEAN to him, very bad for his self esteem. He NEVER leaves the house. I ask him to go to a movie or dinner or Christmas shopping. He says no, sits home at the kitchen table listening to the radio drinking or playing on his computer. He has ALWAYS been a drinker my whole life, but like I said it has gotten worse over the past 4 years. He bitches about how messy our house is, but when I come downstairs on Sundays and hes still laying down at 1pm he sits up and says 'i gotta get up and do some cleaning' i go out and come back at night and guess what? nothing is done. he is SO lazy. hes honestly become such a fat slob and its so sad because hes my dad and i want him to have a good life. he refuses to go anywhere or help with the cleaning all he wants to do is lay around all day. its extremely frustrating because hes a grown man and i clean up after him. i know he probably has depression but drinking is not going to solve it. it makes me so unbelievably angry that he doesnt do a damn thing at home when he never leaves. like if you're going to spend your 2 days off a week sitting in the house, at least do SOMETHING. he also breaks promises all the time. i am working full time and paying for my car and insurance car and health, credit cards medical bills and for my pets. also try to get my nephew out of the house as hes a bit of a hermit too. my dad said every few days since thanksgiving we could get the Christmas tree and here we are, a week from christmas and after making sure he had his beer EVERY night, he says 'i dont have the money for a tree, we dont even need one, just go look at your grandmothers' i mean, you see where his priorities are. It disgusts me and I also feel so sorry for him, its confusing and horrible and I am so unhappy with my life because of it. I want to help him but I don't know how. and i do not make enough money to live somewhere else or trust me, i would.

Does this happends to me? She havent hugged me in like 3 years. I just want comfort.

My step dad and mom are on vacation. Her mom passed away a few years ago. It sucks because I'm going to be with her on Christmas alone. My step dad gave me complete authority. For example today we were in a bakery with her friend and she wanted to move tables after I set everything down and I said no unless she wants to move everything and then she screamed I HATE YOU". Then she wanted to get a coffee but her dad does not allow her to have coffee and I said no but she grabbed some of the money that her dad left in my wallet then she got a large and didn't even LIKE it. And just threw it out. Then her and her friend were acting obnoxious and laughing and I said we're going and she threw a fit and was like I'm not ready stop rushing me. And everyone was starring at me like I was a horrible person. I need help..... what should I do? I still am in charge for two more weeks??

Hi, I wanted y'alls opinion on my mom. So today I was doing an assignment for one of my classes which required for me to go around downtown looking for historic places. I went with my friend and about two hours into it we got hungry and walked across the street to a restaurant where we waited for her mom to bring us money. A short while after her mom arrived she received a phone call and told me to call my mom which I had intended to, but I hadn't had service for the past 30 minutes or so. For some reason I received service about a minute after the call and my dad told me they had been trying to contact me for the past 30 minutes to which i responded i had no service. He said that I needed to go home to which i responded I wasn't done and he insisted I tell him where my mom can pick me up. After his call I got a call from my mom who was mad at me and when I told her I had no service she asked me if I took her for an idiot and then proceeded to get mad about the fact that I had gone to eat. I hung up the call because I could tell my friend and her mom could hear her screaming. She then proceeded to text me to tell me I was never going out again and that my dad had said I was spoiled. Well, I never go anywhere my parents are super overprotective and i am in no way spoiled. they rarely let me go anywhere and do not let me sleep over at anyone's houses despite the fact that I am graduating next year. I don't get to do anything without them saying I'm always out.

I am physically disabled. I do not need to use a wheelchair in my daily life, but my mobility is often limited. I'm living with my parents while I go to college. We get along well and I appreciate everything they do for me, but one thing really annoys me. When they want me to hold something for them, they just pile it on me. When my friends want me to look after their stuff, they just ask and I'm happy to help. But with my parents, if we're out and need their hands free, or don't want to carry it, they just drop it on my lap. Bags, coats, etc. I'd really appreciate it if they asked me first. Or even just handed me something. I don't know if I'm explaining this well, but I feel like a piece of furniture sometimes. I've asked them to stop, but they think I'm just being dramatic. (It's not like I started throwing a fit. I just said, "please don't pile things on me.")
