I want to marry a very rich man. I have a masters degree and am smart and very beautiful. He overheard me saying this and interjected. He asked "do you think those rich men will want to marry you? They will only want to sleep with you. If they do marry you, they will runaway"

16 is a young adult, if not a grown adult. Meanwhile a 15 year old is a child.

Back in July I got into a relationship. We started having sex and he would rub my stomach and say "baby" I realized that I shouldn't be having unprotected sex so I tried getting him to use condoms he refused and I had a period ovulation tracker that would tell me when I was fertile and ovulating, it told me I wasn't fertile, so I called my doctor to get an appointment for birth control pills, I realized that my period wasn't starting and my boobs hurt so I took a test and it was positive. Only then I realized that I ovulated late in my cycle and I was already pregnant yes I regret relying on the app. He was pretty happy about the baby, he attended doctors appointments, bought clothes etc. Early December hits and he tells me he's started doing meth, I tell him to stop or he can't be around the baby. He promises that he won't be doing that any longer, the next few weeks his behavior is better, he seemed happier and more relaxed it led me to believe that he was getting clean. New Years eve hits he shows up high and humilates me in front of people I know by acting like an animal. I haven't really seen him since then besides one time for about two hours then our phone calls and text became shorter now he's gone completely. I feel slightly relieved but at the same time scared of what could happen after our son is born. I'm able to support this baby since I'm the only one who's taken full responsibility since the moment he busted a nut. I'm just confused what he hell happened.

If you hate ones wife do you hate them? She called my brothers wife ugly and fat.

Our sister makes the rest of the family miserable thanks to my parents choice to enable her.

I have a very firmly rooted dislike and resentment for my cousins on my mom's side. This goes back to my infancy but really solidified when I was about 12 due to some harassment and bullying instances. Now that I'm an adult I've chosen not to speak with them and haven't seen them in about six years. However, I just found out that one of my cousins has a rare form of cancer, and we don't have a prognosis yet. Of course I felt immediately jolted and upset upon hearing this news, and I continue to feel terrible for his mother and sister. However, I'm not sure how to process this and proceed given the fact that I can't just forget years and years deeply rooted anger... Advice?

With only unisex clothes like overalls or with crossdressing? With only neutral toys like games are blocks or with trucks and dolls for everyone?

I'm 18. 19 in in May and I feel like I shouldn't have to share a room. I have 3 siblings all younger than me. My brother is 12 and my sisters are 12 (his twin) the youngest one is like 9. Those kids are always fighting and My brother says he's tired of sharing a room with them and they annoy him too much my mom just decided to move him in with me. I know we both are males and that's why mom thinks it's better for us. But I thought he would want to keep sharing with his twin sister and they are closer in age. Im an adult guy and can't have him in my fvking up my sht. I'm probably will move out in the summer hopefully so I'm telling my mom to just wait until then but she's says no. I'm not paying her rent but I feel like as an adult she should listen to me. Do you think it's fair or is she right that me at almost 19 should share with my brother that's 12.

My dad is currently in prison.. his been there for a year now.. but before he got locked up he was cheating on my mom( not for the first time he cheated on her like 100x) but the thing is he was cheating on my mom with his cousins wife. Does that make sense ? Ok so my mom found out and she did nothing about it.. instead my dad took my mom to Hawaii and they pretended like nothing happened. So now that he's in jail he still keeps talking to my "aunt" and has a relationship with her. ( by now my uncle and my "aunt" are now divorced) point is this **** really pisses me off because everyone is pretended like it's nothing serious and like if we didn't grow up with their kids. So i started to avoid my dad calls every now and then and I'm trying to avoid visiting him to prison because i lost respect for him... so is this wrong of me to do so or am i overreacting ??

This is a very long and personal story and I really don't want people to think this is a joke or I'm making this story up, I have struggled with the for years and I really have no one to talk to. I am hoping someone could give me an answer, so here is my very personal story. I'm a girl and I was born on 2002 in Florida, I didn't stay there for very long I think we left because my dad abused my mom, but my mom says we left to have a better life. My mom, my older sister, my second older sister, my little brother and I moved to Las Vegas in 2008 and that's when it started my second older sister who is 3 years older than me started doing inappropriate things I remember one time we were in the bathroom and she started touching me inappropriately, she started rubbing my private parts and then told me to do it to her I can't remember if I did or didn't but I don't think I really thought much of it because I was so young I was like 6 don't remember anything else inappropriate happening in Las Vegas. (Part 1)

Growing up I grew up with a verbally abusive father who would always tear us down emotionally. He talks down on everyone anywhere from gay, to black people to anything. He is an alcoholic bastard who just sits his *** down and watches TV. I don't like him at all my mom is way better than him. She's an angel. Did you have this type of crappy father growing up? Why is he this way?

He is 14 and has this bad habit of just getting out of the house when it's already dark and not telling anyone anything. And he has many excuses as to why he does this. My girlfriend and her brother were at the park, I needed to test my bike so I went riding with my friend a few blocks, (brother or sister) made me mad and I just needed some fresh air. He thinks its ok to just leave the house at 9 pm because he knows what he's doing. One time he left to go to a friend's party without telling anyone and didn't come back till 20 hours later. His excuse? I'm sorry I fell asleep I didn't mean to make anyone worry. We can't take anything away from him he doesn't have much. He just thinks that since he's more grown up he can go wherever he wants and has no idea why we get mad at him for it. I don't know what to do to help him understand that he can't be doing this. When I was 14 I rarely even stepped outside by myself in the daylight.

We ended on terrible terms and I know it's nearly impossible for me to get custody of my son since it's obvious the court favours the mother in child custody cases. She's threatened to ruin my life, and never get access to my son. I want to avoid the court battles, and offer her a sum to sign over the parental rights. She's 17. I'm 18. What would be a good sum to a 17 year old to hand over the child? It won't be a handshake. She will sign the papers agreeing to give me full custody, and then I will hand over the money under the table.

I live in San Francisco but I wanna go to los Angeles it's a hour plane ride and I got the money to go and I'm only going to be there for a day. But the problem is trying to convince my parents (mostly mom) to let me go! I'm 17 btw

so i did something wrong and my punishment is that i have to spend the night at my dads house. my mom and dad are divorced, and i live with my mom and stepdad. when my mom and dad divorced, the only thing my dad got was day time visitation, and my mom is forcing me to spend the night at his house. is there any way i can get out of it???

She is friends with a college girl that hasn't even met her. My daughter knows how to take the public bus to the college from her high school. She rides it home by herself every day so she became familiar with locations. At some point I suspect that my teen will eventually meet her since she can get around by herself anyways. I didn't even know about her Internet friends until my daughter told me that she wants to visit the college. I questioned and she just wanted to "see the courses available". I found it odd since she isn't graduating high school then my teen admitted to wanting to bring an online friend to her real world.

My parent keeps saying I want to be lazy and not get a job. But I have been trying to get a job. I told them that. Yet they persist angry at me based on this lie in their head about my intentions. I don't want to sit on my butt doing nothing. That's a ridiculous lie. Yet they persist in hating me based on this pure lie they concocted.

They think I can't hear them, but I always do. They do it non-stop, and they say that it's not gossipping if I politely confront them. Sometimes it's 'cuz I'm in trouble, but at other times it's 'cuz they see something going on with me. Please help. Thanks.

I am from a dysfunctional family. My Mom hates half her family and makes it as difficult as possible for me to see them. I usually succeeded when my grandparents were alive at seeing them but now that they have died the aunts and uncles often decline to welcome us to the get together but accept a visit from me several days after Christmas. I feel bad about myself that I am shunned from the main event and it has wrecked the last couple of Christmas'. I also feel I am not supposed to feel sad at Christmas so I fight the sad feelings. How do I adjust myself next Christmas so I don't feel so heartbroken? My Mom's family is nice to me outside of family events, I am not just welcome at the family events I guess because of her. I feel segregated. I host something in July each year and all but one of her siblings come to that (one brother does not). But Christmas and Thanksgiving I am segregated and it hurts.

I am a 21 year old guy soon to be 22 in 2 months and by December I will have hopefully have graduated as a Licensed Vocational Nurse. I know I may be getting ahead of myself but its something I feel I need to be ready for. As many Hispanics reading this may know our parents are not easy to deal with at all at times. As much as I love my mother I feel she has a Toxic attitude that I dont want in my life which i feel its actually influencing me more and more as time goes by. My father is much laid back but he is working out of town and has been coming and going for years now. I have a younger sister who honestly didnt get the full force of their strict attitude so she is naturally more entitled if I had to call it something, but because of that doesnt get along with my mom well the more time goes by. Point is she may move out at the same time I do which makes me sad because my mom would be alone without me or my sister or dad who is 3 years away from retirement. We live a fair distance away from the extended family which just tells me that my mother will be completely alone everyday and it breaks my heart even after everything that has happened. Knowing my sister she wont stay with her because honestly she is a selfish girl which saddens me as well.These two people in my life need a great deal of patience because they never grasped what caring for others actually means. So my question is, SHOULD I FEEL GUILTY FOR WANTING TO MOVE OUT?

I'm afraid that it'll only make things worse. I'm scared.

I have a younger sister, she s 13, who is always mean to me. It feels like she s bullying me and it s getting annoying. I have told her that her attitude is getting annoying and that she needs for grow up. But whenever I have these talks with her, she gives me that "I don t care" vibe with the emotionless "okays". Every time she talks to me, she always says **** like "get your dumb *** pussy *** out of here ". I can t tell if she s trying to be funny or whatever but it is rude *** hell. It may just be a phase. A hella annoying phase but she seriously needs go change her attitude and go see Dr. Phil because I can t change her attitude. Every single time I talk to her, she only gives me an attitude and ugh, its so annoying. I m really close to beating her *** up sjjsjsjsj. This is more like a rant, sorry haha. I just need advice about what I need to do about her attitude. Also, dont tell me that I need to "give her space ", I give her LOTS of space. Sometimes we don t talk, our maximum is two days lol, for awhile. There are times we get along, but that s only when she wantt to rant to me. But when I rant to her, it feels like she doesn t care and it annoys me. Anyways, I m done.

My stepsister and I used to be attached at the hip and did everything together. She's 17 and I'm 21. When I was a senior in high school we became distant and there was odd tension between us. Eventually it took a lot of effort on my end to get her to simply talk to me. Weird right? It's been about 4 years since she blocked me on Facebook. I've always had an itch to find out why, but never went through. Now it's just haunting me. About a year ago I sat down and asked her mom (my stepmom) why she has me blocked, and all my stepmom would say is that "maybe she doesn't like seeing what I post". Which I think is a BS reason being that I barely post on Facebook, and she could've just unfriended me instead of blocking me. It's way less extreme and way less hurtful to simply unfriend. I'm not sure if I did something to hurt her feelings or if I really did post something that she didn't like, but if I did, isn't that something she should communicate with me? It's not like she's a random person, she's family. I've tried asking my dad but he acts like he has no idea, and I think he's being completely dishonest with me. I see my stepsister every year for Christmas and once or twice in the summer, and for the past 3 years we haven't said a word to each other. Not even "hello". It's so uncomfortable. Do I deserve to be upset about her blocking me and what are your thoughts as to why she might have blocked me rather than unfriend?

Our family is a very evasive one. My father and mother would avoid problems until it finally got too bad and they had a big fight. Throughout my childhood this would go on and only recently after an astonishing twenty-three years of marriage they have decided to get a divorce. This has caused my dad to go through some heavy periods of pain but last week, he gathered us all to tell me and my siblings( I'm the youngest and still live with him) that he has created this account so that we can view each other's problems (even though some of us don't live with him) and try to shy out of the evasive mindset. How do I tell my pa, who I love, that I believe his idea will only worsen the problem?

I know I may be changing the subject but recently my sister got pregnant with her third child and she has since had her baby. When my sister found out she was pregnant my mother called me and told me don't be a 'copy cat' and that she feels like I was trying to copy my sister because she had her second and I had my first three months apart. I was shocked and hurt I felt this was rude and disrespectful and throughout my sisters pregnancy more negative comments were made in regard to me not having another baby. I'm trying to make sense of this but when I confronted my mom and told her how I felt she felt like I was overreacting and told me to seek 'professional help' for not being able to let things go. My husband wants us to have another child but the negative comments my mother made has me jaded. Am I wrong for still feeling hurt?

If it's a photoshopped photo of a boy, no one cares much. If it's a GIRL then everyone goes on about society sexualizing children and pedophilia even if they're normal kid pictures. You're more likely to be accused of bad parenting if you let your daughter post a certain picture as well. But if it's your son doing the exact same thing, it's a different story. I hate to take celebs as examples, but you can easily spot the difference when their kids of both genders are on the media. They are accused of endangering their child if a picture of their daughters are in the public, but their sons won't receive these comments.

I'm female, a sophomore in high school, and I LOVE the way a shaved head looks. I think it looks really empowering and confident and I just love it. I asked all of my friends at school and they all said to do it. they are all behind me and supporting me (mind that they are all A's and B's students, we don't do drugs or drink alcohol or anything) but when I approached my parents about the idea (I made sure to try to be respectful about it and not whine) and they actually YELLED no like my dad sounded like he was being told that I just asked him if I could become a drug dealer. when I asked him why(again not with an attitude, just a simple question) he told me(yelling) that I don't need a reason why, and he's the authority and I do what he says. which to that I said ok and went upstairs, shocked. I'm young, my hair will grow back? I don't think that my parents love for me should depend on how I look.

As soon as I got home from school today(4pm) I started to cook(currently still cooking) Chinese steamed buns and jjangmyeon for the first time and it's been a pretty long process since I've never made dough or any of that before. So then she texts me(she recently twisted her ankle so she's 'resting') and asks me why didn't I offer my little sister any of the food I cooked and I replied saying my food wasn't done. She said what the f*** does that mean and I said I was still cooking, she then replied asking if I asked my sister what I wanted to eat and by then I had already made her a turkey corn dog and some fruit which is what she said she wanted and I said yeah. She finishes off our messages saying leave me the **** alone. I told her multiple times that I would be making dumplings this week and even sent her a pic of the recipe I was using. And you can literally hear me cooking from her room so what is her problem?
