I haven't seen him in 2 years but fear I might sometime.

He's always drinking non stop and I'm not really close to him because of how much I hate him... I wouldn't care if something happens to him,I just need him to stop drinking so I won't be envolved in his stupid situation, I'm tired of him always hurting the others around him and yelling

My mom is a real ***** my boyfriend didn't wanna help. so I asked my mom she said no and if I had it, I would have to move out because she's done raising kids and that im 26 anyways. ok, i understand I ate a lot of crap and didn't go to school so I cant afford to move out on my own but since my boyfriend didn't want me, and neither did my mom, how can she desert me when I needed her the most? She had 9 abortions from my dad in her lifetime. So to her abortion is what she believed in when someone couldn't afford a child. Well, I was weak and got my abortion. But now I hate her, but hate myself too because I couldn't take responsibility for it and I cant see how this is somehow not my mom's fault also? Yes, I got pregnant not her, but what are mothers help for if the guy doesn't want to help? I see mothers that get happy to know they will be grandparents. Why was I so unlucky? I finally enrolled in school and what stopped me before was low self-esteem and depression. I believed I couldn't pass so why take the chance of going into debt. But now its like now or never because I don't want to live with someone so unsupportive. And when I bring this up she says, blame your boyfriend that left you deserted not me. why did she have to sink as low as him though is what im asking? I'm 27 my clock is ticking, I feel like that was my last chance of conceiving. and nobody wanted to help me.

I have an ex who I have a daughter with and I have a wife who I have three children with. My wife doesn't know about my daughter but something happened with my ex she got arrested and I had to take my daughter in. However my wife thinks she's my niece. I haven't told my wife because I'm ashamed of who I was when I was with my ex I was an abusive drunk. My ex is a sex worker but she is a good woman and loves our daughter. Okay some quick back story I grew up in a trailer park my ex and I go way back and I joined the military at a young age I got out and that's when my drinking started. Things got so bad that I got kicked out and ended up homeless. My wife found me on the streets and helped me and I was so ashamed of who I had been I never told her about my ex or my daughter. My daughter is angry with me and I'm going to be honest she's very messed up in the head. I just don't know what to do I feel if I tell my wife the truth she'll hate me she knows I was in the military and she knows I'm a alcoholic but she doesn't knows I abused my ex and my daughter and she doesn't even know about them. My daughter she's angry with me and I don't know how to get through to her I let her do whatever she wants within reason and that's because I don't know how to parent her. There is no easy way to say this she tries provoking me and I don't know why I just get angry and she gets frightened. I don't know how to make her see I've changed.

I constantly have this talk with my daughter. She gets the idea of what she might do, but not fully. She doesn't even know how to sign up yet. This is my first child and she'll be of college age in 3 years. I think she's keeping up her grades and is doing volunteering but isn't interested in getting jobs yet.

My sister used to be a total jerk to me. Whenever she felt she was loosing arguments (or just got sick of them), she would slap me. When I tried to fight back, she pinned me down and spit on my face. If I tried to get out of the situation, or if I was having a panic attack, she'd stand in front of the door so I couldn't get away. Hell, she'd throw stuff at me if I died in a video game we were playing together. She caused a lot of my problems with self hate. Everyone said I had a nice voice and I should join chorus, and I wanted to join with my friends, but she always told me my singing was horrible. She was the only one to think so. She told me I wasn't good enough at horseback riding, so I almost quit. I lost a bunch of opportunities like that because she told me I wasn't good enough. But ever since she came back from college for winter vacation, she's been really nice. Should I forgive her?

She won't let me near daddy or sit next to him on the couch. She makes comments towards me that are hurtful like calls me ugly. She doesn't listen even to her dad and behaves badly.She is 6 and I care about his daughter but don't know if I can be around her behavior everyday.

I can never do anything without my family on my back. But if my sister does it, she gets a free ride. She threw her food at me today, and I told her to stop, (this was all in front of my family) and then she says she never did it and she runs off upset to her bedroom. I then get a lecture from my family for upsetting her. My sister is younger and stronger than me, she beats me, she strangles me, and it's not just like it's sisterly fights. She takes it way too far and I think she needs help for anger issues. If I tell my family this stuff, they brush it off and act like it's not true. I always get in to trouble for the tiniest stuff and I can't take it anymore.

My parents are mad that I am still nice to this aunt. I am not super nice but I treat her the same as I would if there was no feud. How might I react next time they get mad I associate with this woman? The dispute is cause my aunt indeed does hold onto petty arguments and feuds with her siblings and pokes at them. So her siblings got sick of it and don't talk to her now that the grandparents have died. Also the aunt is too opinionated though I think the whole family is that way.

That mom is my bff.of 25+ years. I live with her and her family. The dad is always working grave yard so the mom goes out. I tried reaching out earlier and she said " I know I ve been distant. We arent as tight as before and its my fault...but this is me. Its like I know I don t have to worry bcuz Ur not going anywhere, my baby dad ain t going no where , my daughter ain t going no where "...then left for the night.

I am the only daughter and youngest child. My mom keeps blaming me for every small things and makes me do all work. I am 15. My two brothers are university students. One of my brother never does anything despite his age and my mom makes him 'special food' just because he doesnt like normal food and the other one is almost same. It is not that i hate doing work but being constantly screamed at my face who is mentally ill is not normal.

My stepmum is being very very disrespectful and rude towards my dad, I'm not going to get into the details because they're too much, but should I do something?

My mom is crazy. Trust me, that's not just something I'm saying. She's literally crazy. She hit me and my brother a few times when were growing up, but it was never too serious, and we never called CPS or anything because we were scared of what would happen. We didn't want to be sent to foster care. We're both adults now (I'm 18 and my brother is 21). I live in a guest house at my mom's house, and my brother has moved out. The other day, my brother came over to check on my mom, and she started a fight with him for absolutely no reason. She was drunk and screaming at him, and she eventually punched him really hard twice in the face and gave him a black eye/busted lip. He didn't punch her back. We didn't call the cops, and it's too late to call them now (this happened two days ago). But, still, what can we do about this? I'm completely clueless...can my mom get in trouble with the law for beating up my brother?

I have been struggling with friends and it has been taking a toll on my eating habits...at least according to my mother. I was okay with my weight (I may be 20 lbs larger but not too big) and when i see her she always makes a comment: "those pants are getting tighter-are those the new ones i just bought you" or "someone must be lonely again". I try to tell her my feelings but she blows me off and makes comments on how sensitive I am being and that she is just trying to help me before I weigh 300 lbs. I then go on a diet and she makes comments on how I am trying to be just like every other girl. I don't know what to do. I can't stand up to her or she will get mad. I know she is trying to be helpful but to be honest I dread seeing her every time cause I know she will just make comments or criticize me. What should I do? I'm tired of being "lonely and fat."

I had a baby boy in April 2016. His father left state before the baby was born for unrelated issues. He never met our son. He would call occasionally and talk to him. I started dating someone 6 months ago. He has spent time with my son and has claimed him as his own. He cheated on me 4 months into our relationship. He has been a father figure to my son since we first started dating. Last week, my son s biological father moved back to town. He wanted to see our son for the first time in person. My boyfriend did not want this. He said that my son can not see his dad unless he is present. He said that I am not allowed to take my son to his dads house unless I am on the phone with him the entire time. He makes me send screenshots of all of our messages. I feel like he doesn t trust me. I have nothing to hide it just bothers me how he has been acting lately. My son s dad does not want to be around my boyfriend because he knows there will be an issue.

Ever since i came to California in August 2011. my mom has been threatening to kill me. This all is during my second year of high school until now. When i was little my mom used to keep me up stil 12am and tell me to study math even tho I've told her I'm not good at math. She has also has strong opinions and this is why she is threatening to kill me. Since i got to college, She belittles the remedial courses I'm taking so i can take my real courses and cusses at me constantly for it. It's gotten to the point where now whenever she gets angry she threatens to kill me and one time actually tried with sissors. i always knew I couldn't talk to her honestly but now since college, that's even more apparent. She always has to have the last word and because loud and nonsensical even over the smallest issue, even when i tell her to calm down it makes her more infuriated. it has come to the point where I really couldn't care less about her because if she refuses to charge why should i? my only hope now is to make enough money to hopefully move out during the fall or summer. What do i do?

I know this isn't really the place to talk about this, however I cannot afford therapy or family therapy.. Lately I have been feeling extremely depressed, to the point I don't feel like eating, or moving, or anything. I sleep all day and I am wide awake at night. My parents are verbally abusive and constantly belittle me all the time, but I still love them, despite how much they hurt me. Today we got into an awful fight because my mother, who is the most abusive between the two, grew angry because I didn't feel like cooking them dinner, and got even more upset when I recommended my mother should start taking care of her husband (my father who is extremely sick) Me and my mother have an extreme dislike for each other, as I am pretty sure she cheated on my father, and she abandoned me and my father for 3 months then came back. The emotional distance has grown so bad that me and my mother can't be in the same room without arguing. We have been arguing all day because her ex boyfriend is coming to stay with us for a week and I wasent okay with that. However I don't have a choice. I'm a 14 year old girl in online school. I have no friends or family to escape to and I am at my wits end. My depression has grown extremely bad, yet no one seems to care. I hate my body so much, to the point I starve myself, I only eat once a day, however today I haven't eaten at all. I'm loosing my mind, what do I do?

My mother has harrassed me by tearing off my clothes as a child and has been doing it till i got married. After marriage she has been interfering and getting information by using it against me behind my back and i had to apologize to people on her behalf and puts entire blame on me for her sadness all her life. She says im nothing like her and says im like my dad. My dad is no more and she insults him evn after he is gone. I suffered a early miscarriage naturally which was painful and the next day she is torturing me by the same old bs and it is stressful and repetitive calls were coming and i picked them and she was asking to talk to my husband, he was in rage but after 12 repitive calls he picked up the call and she yelled at him saying "what is wrong with your wife" n he said she has suffered a miscarriage please leave her alone. Then she started showing authority that im her daughter and she can do what she wants with me and then my husband had to yell at her back. She said i shouldnt have conceived and the timing was wrong and she is happy that i miscarried because under stress the baby wouldnt be normal. She blocked me out on all social medias. Opinions on how to deal with this?

The local middle school has lots of drug abuse and physical fights. One child was shot there a few years ago and another committed suicide due to bullies. I'm afraid to put my 11 year old in such a rough environment where lots of kids are trouble. The district does not let parents enroll their kids in schools of a different neighborhood. This is the only school in the catchment area. My child is an honor roll student who is involved in tons of social activities. The elementary school she is in now is between this neighborhood and another one. All her friends are from the other area and will attend a different school anyways. I plan to get her back in public school once she's in high school. Right now, I think it's a bad idea to put any 11 year old child in dangerous areas where more children will be into inappropriate things.

Even in poor families, the youngest is babied and coddled from hardship. They also seem to get a smartphone or a car sooner than their siblings did. A lot of later born children have tendencies to copy and impress older kids so they end up doing things that they're not mature enough for. Statistically, the youngest child is more likely to drop out of school or go to prison than the oldest.

My son doesn't believe in grandparents. He thinks that people are all made in labs and we hire actors to pretend to be our parents parents. He says this is why most poor people don't have grandparents. He's got some great points. How can I combat this? I really don't know what to say to him. I just wish he'd quit telling my dad that he's a phony *** actor.

I'm describing the groups in 6th grade who do things that are too old for them BUT make them "cool" in the eyes of 11 year olds. Makeup, girlfriends/boyfriends, revealing clothes, social media, swearing, etc. A lot of them seem to have older siblings rather than being the firstborn or an only child. I'm not stereotyping, but this seems to be a more likely thing. There's always different birth orders in groups. But with the "popular kids" who are highly social but are getting into activities that kids their age shouldn't be doing - there's more younger kids. About 6 out of 9 of these kids from my grade school were either the youngest or middle child.

Long story shortish. My mom is bipolar and gets really depressed and emotional when she drinks. Which she does pretty often. My stepdad is a conspiracy theorist and an alcoholic. When both of them drink together, it never ends up well. My biological dad, who I don't live with, has partial custody over me. I have been thinking of letting him take full custody of me and living with him. However, this might mess with my stepbrother's, who is 12 years old, emotions. If you have any questions, please ask. I am attempting to make a huge life decision for the first time in my almost 17 years of living. I am open to any personal opinions on this topic. THANK YOU!

i live with my dad and for the past 2 weeks we haven't been talking because I'm mad at him and he hasn't tried to talk to me or anything, pretty much seems like he doesn't care. I'm stressed about how much my college is going to cost. my grades are awful. i have no friends.i have no other family really. my face is breaking out so bad. my phone broke out of no where last week and i lost all my pictures. its just one thing after another. i don't know what to do at this point, life just sucks so much and I'm so stressed

My dad has a daughter with another woman that I am not related with. So therefore my dads daughter would be my half sister. She is related to me from my dads side. I really like this boy. I found out that he is related to my half sister from her moms side. My sister is cousins with him thew her moms side. Would me and him be related and would it be bad if we date? I don't want to date my cousin because that would be nasty, but we both really like each other. Please help.

Okay, my mum recently got a new boyfriend. Don't get me wrong she has had many boyfriends in the past after she split with my father 3 years ago. One was both mentally and physically abusive to her and my brother and I. He is long gone, she also dated this other dude that was a drug dealer. This new guy, I actually met yesterday and he is really nice and I can tell he likes her a lot. However, my mother is the issue. She is desperate for love and when she finds someone she likes she kind of forgets about us kids. (I am 15 now, my brother is 9). She goes to work and I stay home (we are on Summer holidays at the moment) and look after my brother as well as clean and cook. When she gets back she just locks herself in her room or ignores us kids. Then on her days off she almost always spends time with him. I feel like I'm being forgotten again and I am scared. I can not say anything to her as she has a temper and just yells and screams if I'm unhappy with the current situation. I have serious trust issues with her when she is dating guys. I don't know what I should do, any advice?

I'm currently in college and am in my most intense semester. Monday-Friday, I am in class from 8am-5pm, and when I'm not in class I'm studying/reviewing (or at least trying to). I'm paying for my education myself and I don't want anything getting in the way of my studies and success. That's not being selfish, that's just me ensuring I'm getting the most out of my investment. My mom got sick and nearly died in 2015, and hasn't been able to drive/work since. She is now adamant about getting a job and wants me to take her to and from work. I normally wouldn't mind this, but she is always telling me her schedule needs last minute and getting angry when I can't work my schedule around hers. I've tried for years to reason with her but due to her health issues, I sincerely believe she can't remember things clearly, and she surely has no sense of organization. My step father and I both know she isn't fit to go back to work, and we think she should retire and enjoy her life relaxed. She doesn't agree.My worries are as follows; 1. The job she is taking is 45 minutes away, and the commute is during rush hour. 2. The job she's taking is very complex and her mind doesn't work nearly as well as it use to. 3. I will not be able to study with my classmates after class/before since I will not be getting to class until 7:45am and won't be getting her home until 7pm. 4. When the weekends roll around, my classmates are either busy/we don't have study hall, so I can't study well.
