Me and my middle brother don't get along and we got into some fights. In the fights I've been bloodied in the lip/face and once I was fighting with my little brother and my middle brother hit me with a weapon causing me to get stitches. My mom say only Im wrong and my dad told her to put me in jail. He won't apologize even we haven't fought in over a year. Should I let it go or stop talking until he says sorry?

I m the baby in the family, in my 30s, Just went through a break up and moved back home for a 2 months now. This is my first time being around my mother for this long as an adult and I feel like she uses me and has no respect for me. I work from my computer, so I can work anywhere. I m usually in my mom s house when she comes home from work. But before she arrives she sends me text messages everyday telling me not asking to cook for her. My mom does NOT have a disability but just lazy to cook for herself. I had no problem cooking for her the first few times but then I stopped because I was feeling used. As soon as I stopped cooking for her she stopped talking to me. I told her I don t have a problem cooking for her every once in awhile but I m not doing it everyday. She told me I m rude and totally disregard my feelings as usual. She doesn t treat my sister like this and she lives at home. Since I moved back in, I do my moms laundry every week, I pay her utility bills and I go grocery shopping for her a few times a week. She is always expecting me and my sibling to take her on vacation or buy her expensive stuff and then gets angry when we can t afford to.I can t confront her about anything because she always turns things around on me. I was suppose to stay till Christmas and my birthday later this week but, Im thinking about leaving in a few days, I just feel uncomfortable with her not talking to me. Should I leave and never talk to her again? or am I being dramatic

I am 19 years old and my parents had me give my cats some water when it had food particles in it and it grosses me out. I cursed at my parents and my mom broke a pepper shaker and I also called my parents a liar and I told my dad to shut the hell up. I so f**king hate them right now. I kinda wished my grandpa was here but he wasn't and I wanted to call him to get me.

I was sleeping and my mom woke me up to go to church so i got up and started to get ready. About 15 min later i started feeling pain in my stomach and went to the bathroom to poop. My mom started banging on the door saying that im going to church whether i like it or not even if it means i have to go with a dirty butt. I told her i couldn't go with tears in my eyes because it really hurts and if i go to church like that it will be really uncomfortable and i wont even be paying attention and its not like i chose this. I dont wanna be constipated and i DID wanna go to church with her i already had everything ready but i simply couldnt go like this. She yelled at me and took away the wifi...im writing this from my phone's hotspot. She's in church right now. I dont understand why she grounded me for something that isn't my fault. What should i tell her when she comes back?

It's a very long story. Everything was fine a year ago. A hacking incident happen last year to my distant cousin (When we were more close at the time) Her mom flipped and blamed the thole thing on me. She thought it was me because I made a big deal about getting the hacking to stop. That's just one situation though, here is one that happen a few months ago back in early July. A 'cop' ended up calling my cousin and her mom flipped out again thinking it was me doing some prank. I wasn't even on my phone at the time. Her mom blocked me on my cousin's account and ended up marking me as abusive (Seems like she really likes me heh.) About a week later, my cousin got her phone back and started to secretly talk to me. Her mom started to catch on that she was talking to me again. Her phone is still currently taken at this moment. Yesterday, I mean't to text my dad that I was picking him up a Gatorade and I accidentally sent it to her number. Her mom sometimes uses her phone when she has taken it away from her and I really hope she doesn't make another big deal about me sending a text. It seemed harmless of what I accidentally sent. I sent (They don't have the type of Gatorade bottles you want but they have smaller types). Seems harmless, right? I just hope she doesn't see it, let alone make a huge deal about it. I am very stressed right now. My cousin has been recently taking her families side on things about me (Her whole family really dislikes me). We have agreed not text. Her mom thinks when I call from random numbers that I act as different people to prank, I don't do that at all. Most of this has been caused by her mom. Best answer that helps me be less stressed will get points!

I had an abortion before by a certain man because she didn't like him and I had no education yet but this prompts me to go to school and now I'm finishing. I feel like I let myself get talked into an abortion by her because this man was no good etc. He doesn't work and lives with his Mom like I do and also does not have a college degree so we were poor and succumbed to the decision to abort. I resent my mom for this because there are moms out there that no matter if you don't have a college degree, that they'll help you out. It's sad I didn't have a mom like this it's not like I was trying to use her for babysitting I was going to go to school but to her, it meant that since I didn't have a degree yet shell have to help out a lot. My boyfriend mom tried to help me but I didn't want to live with her because I didn't like the way her son was treating me he had friends over every day no privacy didn't care what I thought brought them over any time of day while I was visiting. Yes, it's not my house but still, i thought it was inconsiderate. why do you need so much time with friends if there's so much to do like go to school and work full time? especially since I was pregnant. but no hell play video games, smoke weed, and just not work as much or sign up for school. his mom also doesn't clean and the house is a constant party I couldn't bear the thought of raising a baby with that stress and that I didn't even have an escape plan because of no education. I still resent my Mom?

My dad wasn't around much when we were kids. Even now isn't around. My brother and I are only 3yrs apart, however I am beginning to question whether or not I have been more like a second mother to him than a sister. When he was about 4 he was diagnosed as hearing impaired. He had trouble communicating what he wanted. My mom and I were the only ones whom understood what he wanted. I remember my brother being very sick one night, fever of 104. My mom set out to go get medicine, my father stayed in his office on the computer while I has next to my brother with a cool towel over his head. My brother both hearing impaired and going through anxiety was with us on a trip to Sea world. My mom purchasing something at the store, my brother not feeling well and scared because of the crowd and he couldn't hear, was told to stay on the bench as my father headed out of the line of sight to a touch tank. He wanted me to leave my scared hearing impaired brother out of the line of sight. I ended up picking him up and carrying him through the crowd. Years later I was the one whom gave him the "birds and the bees" talk, the Santa talk, etc. So many other scenarios. To this day he feels he can come to me for anything. So, was I more like a second mother?

Is there anyway I can live with my aunt it might not matter but I live in Pennsylvania

My ex mother in law Pam called and asked to come see me. She said she needed some help. I liked her a lot when I was married to her daughter Shirley so I said sure, come by any time. Pam told me she was on the layoff list where she worked and she wanted my help updating her resume. We worked on her resume one afternoon. I used my business contacts to get her 2 interviews from business associates that I thought might have an job opening for her skills and experience. She got 2 job offers and accepted one. I thought everyone was happy with the outcome. Pam got a job she likes, her employer got a good employee and I felt good about helping her. Pam was VERY grateful for my help. However everyone was not happy with the outcome. I got an email from my ex Shirley telling me that I should not be helping Pam as I was not family anymore and it made her and her new husband look bad because Pam did not think Shirley and her husband could help Pam. She ask me not to help her mom again. I replied to Shirley and acknowledged I was not family BUT Pam was my friend and when a friend ask for my help, I help them when I can. I told her that if she has a problem with that she should take it up with her mom not me. Does what I did seem reasonable to you?

I am a senior in high school, and am planning to go on a trip to Cancun, Mexico over winter break. I'd be leaving on the 27th and coming back January 2nd. I am SO stoked for this trip! We'll have no adult supervision, drinking age is lower, and there will be girls there whom I've never met, so hopefully there will be some hooking up! This is kind of a school tradition, and there are always friends of people who come. I have been looking forward to this trip for over a year. My grandmother fell ill last week and has been in intensive care since then. They are thinking she might not make it. The question isn't IF she will pass because of this, the question is when. I'm concerned that she may pass right before or even during my trip. My grandmother lives on the west coast of the USA, and I'm worried my mom may make me miss the trip if she dies before the holidays. Now, I get that she didn't choose to get sick at the time she did, but it still might put a massive dent in my plans. I love my grandmother, but there isn't much value I can add for anyone, by skipping the trip. I know there will be other trips, but I've been looking forward to this one for a long time and would HATE to miss it. What's the best route to go? Should I tell my mom that I'd like to confirm my attendance on the trip even if she dies? Should I pose it as a question? Should I do this pre-emptively? Or cross the bridge if/when it comes?

I wanted to take a job and work with my sister and she told me that she wants that I come to work with her but when I decided she started acting weard, like she is the boss and she is not. She doesn't want to help me with anything and when she was going to work I helped her with everything. I am dissapointed in her accting. It is hard for me at work when I am alone, most of the time I get bullyied by others cooworkers, so I thought working with sister would be easier to fit in working enviroment. I have one more option, other job, and there I will be alone. I am scared of bullying. I am good person and I do not know how to be evil and everyone notice that so it is easy to pick on me for no reason. Please help, what should I do? Risking alone? or put up with my sisiter who has changed and she became as othes bullies too :(

My dad and I haven't really been close for a good portion of our lives. Now that he's older and his health has been failing for a while, he's trying his best on wanting to make up for lost time and be the parent he always wanted to. The older we both get, we're two different people and don't have much in common. He's always been into things that I don't particularly find to be interesting and vice versa, in addition to just having a bit of a boring personality. He's a very stubborn person too, so he's not entirely open to new avenues of thought or topics unless it's of interest to him. And like most people his age, their chosen hobby/topic tends to be politics that they default to. While I have similar views to him, I choose not to discuss that with him because he presents himself in a bad light and he just doesn't know when to stop and let it go. Reason I guess it bothers me and why I struggle is because it means the world to him to want a relationship with me and I feel like I have nothing to offer him in return. He's done a lot for me in recent years and I take that into account, which is also why I struggle to stick it out for his benefit. It makes him happy beyond belief and makes my mom happy by default, even though I've talked to her about my hangups. She wants us to be one happy family for his sake so that when he does pass one day, he feels like he's done right by his family and was loved. I don't hate him, I just can't relate. What exactly can I do?

I've been feeling very self conscious lately. Is it okay to be 22, living with your parents, and working 30 hours/week as a cashier? I've been saving up a lot over the last few years, but don't have any specific plans for college or applying to other jobs because I like where I am. I can definitely see myself getting a degree someday; just not so soon. I feel strange when people ask me my future plans and imply that I need to get a "real job." I'm not really pressured to move out, but I feel bad when my family occasionally reminds me I'm going nowhere in life since there's minimal growth opportunities at my job. I've also never had a significant other. I feel so strange and lost sometimes. I mean, I do help out with cooking and cleaning around the house. If a young adult works a low paying job and saves money, but is still living at home does that make them a freeloader?

I know there's a lot of fake questions like this on here, but I'm honestly scared and I don't know where else to ask. Ever since I turned 16, my dad constantly talks about my body and how beautiful I'm getting. He'll get offended or angry if i don't kiss or hug him goodbye or greet him. One time he put money in the back pocket of my jeans, which I found weird because he could've just handed it to me. He also talks about how "mature" my body is getting and how it's "developing beautifully". He acts the same way towards my older sister and we both find it creepy, but I feel like he does it more towards me. Is this normal? I should've clarified that I meant kissing as kissing on the cheek. My mom is usually in the room when this all happens and she doesn't really react at all.

I'm a foster child and my foster parents have 3 biological kids. 2 girl twins that are 6 and a 17 year old boy. They just recently took me in 3 months ago and I'm a 14 year old girl. Me and the 17 year old... I'm gonna call him jack, became good friends and we hang out and go to the same school. I hang out with his friends which are all boys. But I don't like it and I don't wanna hang out with them but I feel like I have no choice. I am so embarrassed to say this but he made me do oral on 2 of his friends. He said if I didn't he will hurt me and it won't matter because no one will care. I tried to leave his friends house one day but he blocked the door I'm not very strong I couldn't get out and he did stuff. It's all my fault I can stop this is don't know how. I will have no one if I tell someone because they will get rid of me and then I'll have to get another family. I have no friends at school because I'm always so stressed out and too shy. And English isn't my first language people think I'm weird. I can't take it anymore I don't know what to do. I feel help less What should I do who can I tell? I don't wanna get in to trouble.

I noticed that parents or adults in this section always trying to defend the bad behavior of parents, no matter how wrong and toxic the parents are? The parents can be annoying, nagging, narcissistic, and just pushy and people will think parents do nothing wrong.

I hate having them because they're so annoying and narcissistic. If you suggest something to them, they'll take it as you trying to have authority over them. They're a annoying, selfish, pushy, narcissistic, and biased. For example, my mother stays bringing up the fact that I was kicked out of a private school at age 11. She knows I'm it too proud of that, but she brings it up, even though I'm 24. She needs to just stop being so snippy and get over it.

Others from my old school, from higher classes than mine, my elder sisters. Everyone. Be they bad or good. Even if I tell her to stop or express my dislike for such actions she won't stop. She's even comparing me to my head master.

I just read this on Dear Abby & am shocked any father could feel this way! DEAR ABBY: I joined the Navy after I learned I was becoming a father. I didn't want to be a husband or father, but I did both. In 2010, my wife died. My feelings about being a husband and father never changed. Our two children are now grown and want me to move near — or in with — them. They say, "Won't it be great to be with your grandkids?" No, it won't! I worked and supported my family. When I was in port, I went to baseball, softball and basketball games, had tea with my daughter and did everything I believe I should have done. I have served my time. I don't want to "be close." Honestly, I'd prefer they left me alone. I don't love them, and I didn't love their mother. I did my duty to the best of my abilities both in uniform and in family. When we aren't together, I'm happy. I read, I study and do what I like. I've earned that, haven't I? How do I get them out of my life so that at age 52 I have my own life? I don't want to hurt anyone, but I never wanted a family in the first place. — NEVER WANTED A FAMILY

I don't know her reason for kicking me out. But she told me she's moving, and she she'll give me a few hundred and told me to ask one of me friends if I can stay with them for a few months.. what does this mean? I think it has to do with me and my sister not wanting to go to the Buddhist temple with her today for some holiday or blessing

So..I got blonde hair, very blonde hair like noora saetre if someone watches skam, anyway..I love red lipstick a lot and I'd like to start to wear it but my mom says I would look like a hoe and I feel very bad right now because I'm not a hoe, I don't dress provocative at all, neither on summer I'm very shy, quiet and conservative. I am 17 years old I've never had a boyfriend I got good grades..so I'd like to know if you would ever see a young girl like me that wears red lipstick and has blonde hair, would you think she's a hoe? Btw I'm sorry for my English.

I feel kinda bad. So I need a ride to my job and back home and my brothers that are (23 and 25) pretty much take everyone where they need to go in the house cause they have cars. So usually the older one takes me and the other one picks me up. This time my brother (25) was tired so he asked the other can he take me. He ended up getting mad and they had argument which turned into a fist fight. I broke the fight up. But they kept arguing until the 23 year old brother took me to work. The brother (25) birthday is a few days before Christmas and the 23 year old one said he isn't getting him anything anymore for his birthday or Christmas And now they pretty much don't talk. I feel like it's my fault maybe I should have just spent 20 dollars on a cab?

I had a rash on my private parts and i told my parents and at midnight i think my mom was at work and my dad would cover up my face with a pillow and made me hold it i was curious what he was doing, So finally I took off the pillow and saw my dad LICKING my private part. Its haunting me now I don t know what to do I think I was 7 Now I am 11 sometimes he slaps my bottom like, when I m just standing doing something he even does it to my 8 year old sister (Him Slapping her bottom not the thing he did with me) but this horrifies me that he actually treats me and my sister like this. I don t know if my mom knows but I m planning on telling her but I don t want to ruin our family. Please help?

I recently became an Engineering Student really happy. I work give my parents rent suddenly my father quit and just decided to not work anymore and it's messing me and my brother up. it's hard to have to support him just because he does not want to work. Should I quit school and focus on working a 2nd job to support them? My father does not want to work anymore.

So like my parents they get super pissed at me for things like grades but if it was up to my sister she gets bad grades my dad keeps it secret from my mom so my sister feels she has to bring it up but me oh no my dad heard about it BOOM straight to my mom and i lost everything they get mad at me for being on PS4 too long when my sister literally never leaves her room or phone unless she has to go somewhere and it ain't fair for me I don't get why I'm always getting the worst.

Hello. In summary: my dad has (physically and emotionally) abused me my whole life. He's an alcoholic... he raped me when I was 9 (then someone else did weekly for a year but that's irrelevant) and 12 and tried to at 14 and 16... he DOES NOT remember because he was so drunk every time. My mom has also physically abused me and emotionally my whole life, but she stopped for a bit so I moved in with her. Now she literally won't let me move (I'm posting this on a friends phone)... she has trackers on everything and has random people follow me etc... it's crazy. And she's really Abusive (I sleep maybe an hour a night the rest is spent being yelled at and hurt)... for some reason I can't seem to be willing to leave my parents in the past. I'm scared. I have two half siblings she treats fine... I have opportunity to go back to dads and Graduate this June... a year early (I'm 16 will be 17 in June). But mom says she'll disown me. It's safer though. And if I stay I'm scared. I can't leave until the end of January betweeen semesters though. I don't know what to do or anything... please help! Any advice/input is helpful. I'm in a bad place mentally so any input is helpful.

She'll ask me a question and when I respond, she'll go "Huh? What?". At first, I used to respond back buy I've grown tired of doing that, so when I don't respond she'll repeat exactly what I said. Like if you heard me the first time why act as if you don't? It's not like a speak low....I just find that very annoying and idk why she does that or anyone for that matter.

Ever since my older sister moved out she's been doing this over a year now you know because she's adult. She's been going around (no joke I'm telling the truth, sorry most people don't believe me or my sister) telling people how me, my sister, and mother threw her out of the house. My mom acts like nothing of it like she has no brain. Not only that my older sister was telling people on the internet about my birthday, info about my identity, and keeps accusing me and my sister we did something to her and I don't have a clue what she is talking about. Also she clames we cyberbullies. (We haven't been doing anything that would hurt people. After school we usually play video games or take a nap because we constantly feel sleepy during the day. Some days we would watch TV, but we never hardly go on the computer. I know you might think we are young we would play on facebook like most people these days. But honest to God we barley even play on facebook, the internet for that matter. We only play on it once in a while but to only play games on facebook. Not only that we don't have a real facebook account of us because of are older sister telling people how much we hate them and getting us to fight with them. We tried to tell are mother but she seems not to care. I feel so hurt right now I don't know what to do. The last thing she did of us she made a wikia saying me and my younger sister is fat and telling everyone about where we live. Writing bunch of stuff after that that isn't even true, like we bully people and judge people. It was up to around my birthday when she did it and I didn't even knew she made it into 20 days later. I wonder how hurt I'll feel seeing that around my birthday would of made me want to kill myself. It Luckily wikia was so nicely to delete the wikia. Is there any advice I should do? I did tried to ignore her, but the problems seem to get more and more worse. I did tried telling my school but I live in a school that they don't care about bullying cuz me and my sister get bullied in school to besides the internet. I feel like the whole world is out to get me and my sister, and we feel so hated I forgot to mention that we did try to talk to her through facebook about the problem she denies it and tells people we are starting with her. We don't want to talk to her in real life because she treating to kill us. My mom doesn't believe us what she wrote and it was on facebook on my real old account. She somehow reported my real life self account and got it deleted and that was are advance.

Why doesnt my dad want to be in my life anymore? i live with my grandparents so i have a male figure, i just dont get why my dad isnt here? he's been pretty absent since i was 10 (im 17 now) and i still cry when i think about how he abandoned me while my mom keeps constant contact with me. should i miss him? how do i get over this? my sister did, i dont know why it's taking me so long to move on as well. i dont understand what i did to make him not want to be around me anymore.

I'm an only child (girl), and my parents, especially my dad, are super protective. My mom knows I'm going out with him, but I'm scared of telling my dad because I'm afraid he'll say no and forbid me from seeing him. My mom told me that it's up to me to ask my dad, she won't help me. I've been going out with him for around 2 months now.

My son is 26 years old next week will be the 2 year anniversary he came out I'm not very happy with him still. He lives with his fiancé he's been with 2 years they've been together since he decided he was gay. He proposed to him last year on the 4th Of July his favorite holiday. He's my son from my first marriage his mother died not long after he was born. Then he has a younger brother who is 22 from my last relationship his mom walked out on me when he was a kid. He goes to her house sometimes he's more over there than he is with me he also has disabilities he's got AD/HD and autism and other abilities he's also kind of a mamas boy. I also have a son from my current marriage he'll be 8 next week. I can't get over that my 26 year old is gay. He never seemed like he was when he was younger if so he never mentioned it or I never noticed. I was really mad at him when he told me. 2 years later I still can't get over it. Not mention he's getting married to a man. The worst part is his fiancé is his cousin on my wife's side of the family. I think it's disgusting. How can I get over it ?

Me and my mates got drunk at the pub last night, I blacked out, I wake up and nothing bad showed up on my phone/social media so I figured everything was all good. However, I was wrong. I went outside and walked to the market, after I walked one block I was followed by bums and they started shouting "He Disrespected Scruffy and The mighty Cactus". People looked at me weirdly and I knew I couldn't go to the store so I ran home with a bunch of bums on my tail. About a few hours later I ate dinner until I got a ************* brick through my window that had a note attached "The Cactus comes for you". I called the cops. However, the cops couldn't do **** because they didn't want to interrogate every homeless person in my city so they left and said to report suspicious activity. It's night and they're outside my home yelling the same ****. I keep calling the cops but I keep getting the same ****. My mates told me I might've ****** with a homeless right of passage. Whatever the **** that means.

There is a lady who is my neighbor and i just found out that she is a registered sex offender. I never expected this from her, she seems so nice. Should i ask her about it and should i tell all of the other neighbors? She is so young, according to a website she is only 29. I found her on a sex offender website and it shows her and it shows her address. What should i do? Should i let my kids talk to her still? She always talks to my kids.

So I apparently wanted a pair of Beats earplugs for my birthday and I found them on sale for Black Friday. I ordered a pair for myself and then my brother wanted to order a pair for himself , I basically got the amount of money from him and I paid the rest including tax. But anyway when the earphones got to the house, he right away decided to give his pair to another family member but still wanted to keep mine. At one point I told him to keep mine but I was being indecisive about it. Now he says I can't take mine back cause I told him I didn't want it at first. Sure I get he wanted to regift them but also they were my birthday gift. Yet again he is able to buy another pair with his own money. He is selfish at one point.

My fiancé's brother had a baby with his gf recently and everybody is going crazy over her and it his parents first grandkid. Now I'm black and my fiancé is white I'm so worried that when I have my kid he/she won't be liked or loved as much as this first grand baby. It doesn't help that his parents don't like me very much, haven't done anything to them but they don't really like me. I'm worried because of past issues with my dad being a POS and watching his mom treat his older brother completely different than him. I just didn't want my kid to have one set of grandparents. It's not even a full set it would just be my mom and hopefully my grandma and grandpa. It doesn't help that I'm a little jealous she had the kid first, I think it would be different if she wasn't the same age as me. I'm 19 and his older brother is 26, my fiancé is 20. I wish I didn't feel like this.

I'm a 20 year old college student and I'm living with my grandmother and aunts because of family issues amongst my parents. I thought living here would be so much better but it's not and the reason why is because there are constant arguments and a lot of bad energy. Even though it's almost a daily thing, I'm used to it so it's not my biggest concern my biggest concern is one of my aunts always nagging. Everyday, "you're not doing this right or that right" "do you know how to wash dishes"....questions she already knows the answer to because she saw me do it sooo many times (and no she doesn't have alzeimers). Recently, it was an alteration in the hallway in our building and a man was calling a women filthy names and she's asks me if he was talking to me. (He was yelling the name Rosa and my name isn't Rosa) and then she went everyone else in the house that he was yelling at me because "he was yelling at a young women" and nobody's knows who Rosa is...she tries so hard to make me seem like a bad person and I don't get it. Another thing that kills me is my grandmother asking for money every other day. She acts as if I don't contribute to the house and she never complains about the other women in the house not buying things. They both went a couple of months without buying anything but it's not an issue when they don't. I'm paying off a debt to my school and I work a minimum wage job. You'd think out of all people my grandmother would understand that. I'm so done with life.

I think my brother's wife is fine but our family does not like her. So she had a fight with out step-mother recently. Is my brother required to back his wife or can he stay neutral and be nice to both? My brother's wife took to Facebook and ranted about her her step-mother-in-law after the step-mother of ours bailed on helping her in something for silly reasons. So this made our step-mother more mad. Neither women could just shut it and walk away. All this happened in August and they haven't spoken since.

With my parents (our parents) spoiling her this way does she have any hope of growing up one day or is she hopeless? She is 22 now and almost 23. She demands things like a 6 year old and as the youngest of 7 kids my parents are like they have no energy to discipline. My Dad would if it were just him but my mother always caves and gives my sister what she demands. My Mom has a sister who I am told was spoiled like this and that sister became a severe narcissist who is now estranged from the family for the most part.

or is that illegal/will be taken down or i will get in trouble?

My parents are divorced. My Mom makes me a nervous wreck by getting angry when I see my Dad. Since my Dad is an alcoholic it is totally unpredictable if he will accept a visit from me or not. I feel great sorrow when he says no to a visit and I feel he has chosen alcohol over me on years when he does this. When he says yes I am thrilled. The majority of years he declines. My mother takes jabs at him in her comments to me when she learns he has rejected me so I have to pretend I don't care but am crying on the inside. My two sisters are estranged from my Dad but I stay in touch and my other brother sees him also but doesn't care as much as I do. My Dad's family does not live local so I don't see them at Christmas. My Mom's family does live local and I see them but since they all hate my Dad I know in their heads they are laughing that I got rejected by him and get flashbacks to when my parents divorced when I was 8 and I was not allowed to see my Dad for 7 years per my Mom's rules. Sometimes she thought she was protecting me from his drinking but it had an adverse reaction and made me more dependent on a relationship with him, Lastly, my Mom's sister is an alcoholic and my Mom has never held me back from her so I feel like my Mom was just using me to get my Dad back rather then genuinely protecting me. So when my Mom's sister rolls in drunk I feel mad at my Mom for not caring when she rants about my Dad. So how can I enjoy Christmas this year? I went away alone for Thanksgiving to avoid this dysfunction but was just depressed the whole time so I don't want to be alone on Christmas. I feel I will be depressed regardless. When I have a bad Christmas the pain and disappointment linger through the winter and it is April before I am over it.

I'm 17 years old and I've been living with my Grandparents since I was 14. My dad and mom are divorced & my mom left me at 14 so it became me and my dad. My dad has a wife of 7 years and son (5 years) and they all live together. My problem: my dad won't talk to me. I haven't seen him in about 4 weeks and he won't call me or anything. Me and my grandparents have had our differences lately and I'm supposed to be moving out to my dads since my dad okayed it. Well I texted him two days ago asking when I'll be moving out and no reply. I called him yesterday, he didn't pick up. It's like he's ignoing me. Every time I talk to him when he's home he has to go outside to talk to me because he doesn't want anyone to know who he is talking to. The only thing I get from him is $100 every two months to live off. I don't know what else to do.

so i have a 1 terabit quite big usb drive or maybe hard drive idk? and im worried it could fail some day because i have SO MUCH ON IT all my videos ive ever recorded since i was little and childhood stuff is on it and family things because i couldnt fit them on my computer. so im so scared it could just break can it?

Most blacks ruin things for everyone else and make a bad image for themselves. All my life I've tried to be normal and get out of my environment, but black people that are involved in my life always ruin it for themselves and others and hold me down from achieving my goals. They steal from me, hold me down, tell me I can't do anything, won't let me associate with non-blacks, etc. My own freaking family.... they won't even let me go to college because they think it's only for white people. My own brother stole $1500 from me that I worked hard for, just so he could buy drugs and now he's homeless. In fact, my entire family steals from each other, like it's not a big deal. My sisters steal each others clothes and hair extensions and lie about it, and they've been stealing from my mom for years, they take from her credit card every month almost. And all the black people I associated with are always fighting. It's like black people just want to see the world burn and have no desire to help each other.

So my mother passed away in October. My son and Imoved in with my dad because he was so lost with out her. My dad is 75 and he is a miserable person. I cant go any where with him without him complaining. I took him to the movies which i was excited for and he ruined it. He just had to go food shopping and we were late for the movies and then he was complaining about how dark and loud it was. I am never doing that again. He was the same way with my mom too. He looses his temper over the dumbest things! He hates how the laptop mouse is on the laptop and not the one ypu plug in. He got upset with me when he was trying to use it to help me see what was wrong with it because I dont use the mouse that plugs in it was my fault he couldnt use ot right. What do I do? How do I cope with living with him? I have nothing to go back to. All my stuff is gone and my apartment is gone. Someobe help me. What can i do to have a descent medium between us. He wont do therapy and he doesnt listen to me. He is just a miserable person!

My dad gets mad at me because I don't like his food, which is primarily Chinese. I always eat his food and don't complain, but he gets mad because I "look like I don't enjoy it". I just don't enjoy the type of food he cooks, and I tell him that I can't change that. He goes ballistic and tells me that I deserve to starve if I'm so ungrateful. I honestly don't know what to do, as this causes almost 4 arguments a week. Is there a way I can force myself to actually enjoy the food?

Both my mom and dad are mentally abusive to me and recently stopped being physically. I just turned 19 so I still live with my mom who is mean and calls me fat and ugly and tells me to go die. My father has never been there for me. I'm trying so hard to be good to people and myself but deep down I feel empty and sad for never having a real family to love me and give me effection. Part of me longs for a child so I can feel complete but I snap out of it because that's so selfish of me. I have a boyfriend and his family is sooo good to him that it makes me jealous and more sad seeing him with them because I know I'll never have that.

My dad always likes to get me involved in his bad choices and makes me try to fix them and gets mad at me if I don't do it right. For example last night he wanted me to out bid this buyer he had for his ebay because they weren't giving him the amount of money he wanted (he thought more people would bid) and I lost the bid because I was out eating at a restaurant and wasn't consistent on my phone. I got a very nasty text message from him saying about how terrible I am and how he will never do anything for me ... mind you he's never there for me and never supported me or my mom we've never lived together and he doesn't do anything for me besides a car ride now and then (I'm 19). I feel really sad..

1. they cuss me out and don't ever apologize for it. 2. My dad is drinking and driving and my mom don't stop him from doing it. 3. my dad hits me for no reason not hard or too soft but ya know. 4. I'm getting tired of it happening 5. idk if he is playing around or not.

After 2 years of trying, my sister ended up getting pregnant before me. My boyfriend and I both work, have our own house, our own vehicles. Not my sister and her husband They live in my grandmother's tiny apartment, they don't help her out with any bills,sister does not work, and they don't have a car. Despite all of that I tried, I did try to be happy for them but my sister made it hard. She had a poor diet and would eat nothing but fast food and drink Mountain Dew and energy drinks. At one point she didn't go to the doctors for 3 or 4 months. She didn't get a glucose test done like she should have. She was also eating this herbal supplement called kratom that she ordered online. It's addictive and not FDA approved. She claimed the doctor said it was okay which I knew was bull. She sat on the porch all day long smoking cigarettes, one after another. If all this isn't bad enough they found fentanyl in her system. At 37 weeks her blood pressure was sky high they had to do an emergency c section. The poor baby was transferred to Boston hospital for health issues and had fentanyl in his system and is now in the NICU. I can't help but think this is unfair. Most importantly to this innocent baby who didn't do anything to deserve this but secondly myself. If that would have been me, things would have been done differently. I would not have acted the way she did. I'm sad for this child and I'm sad that the wrong sister got to bring life into this world only to take it for granted.

So I have an older sister, 5 years older than me. She always takes my stuff wheater it's food or clothes. Today I went in her room to ask her for something and found her wearing my clothe and my Gucci art book in her hand taking pictures of it and the clothe. And now I was looking through instagram and guess what I see she had just posted. Pictures of the art book and her wearing my clothe labeled amazing art! @gucci I confronted her about it and guess what she said in her defense, "so! did I take your things" and I replied with "what do you mean this wasn't mine you were clearly wearing my hoodie and holding my thing!" And then she replied with "so just like the picture than!" And proceeded to put on make up. I told my parents about it but they say to just tell her nicely to stop but I doubt she is going to considering she just took my dads i pad for 2 month and he only found out because she posted a picture of it on instagram and my other sister saw it. I also can't lock my door because the lock is broken.

is it possible to have someone who is your cousin but you are not their cousin , please help!
