I am scared they will think less of me because of her.

Question: Am I really ungrateful?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 01:46 PM PST

Right so yesterday there was an argument over dinner. My parents wanted me to have a family dinner and I wasn't hungry and I told the I won't be eating and that I am going out to my friend's house. After I got back home I went to my bedroom and my mom brought up a slice of home made apple pie and a glass of milk. I told her that I am not eating that because she used lard to make the pie crust, she said it was only a small slice and I yelled back that I didn't want it and that she needs to stop making me eat then she slapped the back of my head and called me an ungrateful, spoiled, selfish little brat! I'M NOT HUNGRY!

Question: My daughters father who abandoned her wants to see her but she doesnt want to see him?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 01:16 PM PST

Basically I got pregnant at 15 after my first time. His mom and dad sent him to finish school and live with his grandparents in Australia. He never contacted her and occasionally sent a birthday card or Christmas gift. Now 16 years later his life is straight and wants to get to know her. She tried at first but she says she doesn't want to get to know him. She friended him on Facebook as well as her 13 year old siblings facebook. I wasn't sure if was a good idea and now i know it wasn't because all she ended up seeing is her dad taking his two other kids sailing and to the beach. He is much better financially compared to us as he finished school and went to college but I just now finished nursing school and worked 2 jobs before that. She sees what he provides for them and not her. I know it hurts her. I tell her that it doesn't matter and that its her father and he is trying now. I am trying to not let my anger towards him cloud her. But if I don't encourage her than it may look like I am....any advice for a mom just trying to navigate this situation?

Question: I live with my 16 y/o daughter. I’ve been a pushover for 16 years. Should I let my son who’s 37 hit her?? Read story in details.?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 12:53 PM PST

So let me start off by saying my husband died when she was a baby. So its just been me and her. My son is visiting for the month and sees her disrespect. She's a good kid she really is, she gets good grades and doesn't party or anything but I've been a pushover for 16 years and now she's a spoiled brat. She's respectful to everyone but me. I'm in a wheel chair and a pushover. She's slapped me before but when my son saw it he was in shock. She's very tiny and weak (she's only 90 pounds) so jt didn't hurt but it's the fact that she did it. Should I let my son hit her. Not to actually hurt her but for her to learn a lesson ?? He's much stronger than her so I don't want him to actually HURT her . Opinions ?

Question: How do I over come the fear of becoming like my parents?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 12:43 PM PST

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I'm nervous about being a parent. When I was growing up my Dad was abusive and my Mother was a slacker. Most of my childhood was basically us walking on egg shells from my Father and having to fend for ourselves because my mom would just sleep most of the day and if she wasn't sleeping she was either eating or out a parties. Yeah Yeah I know it sounds like a sob story but getting the the point, I'm worried I'll end up treating my kid just like that. I don't want to be that kind of person.

Question: Why do families with toxic members stick together?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 11:00 AM PST

My mother holds me accountable for her self diagnosed depression, and never apologizes. My Father is afraid of being honest, lies, and blows up if you confront him with hard evidence. Everytime I've ever had a honest conversation with my sister she goes awol for months, like I didn't see her for months because I asked her to give me a heads up before she comes over. I'm currently being extremely passive, non confrontational, and emotionally distant from them and it seems to be what they like, but it's killing me.

Question: Would you be upset and cut your parents out of your life for these reasons?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 09:49 AM PST

As an adult I am able to think clearly and look back at things without the influence of other people in my life. I'm the oldest of 5 and was with my parents through all their tough times. The other four siblings grew up when everything got easier. When I was growing up with my parents we were poor. My mom and dad would occasionally whack me around. We never ate healthy. My dad was always upset and stressed and my mom took it out on me. Every once in awhile I would get a beating. My parents never talk to me about my emotions, or how I feel they always just treated me like a pet and a Slave. It still happens in my adult life. I had to have a major surgery and I didn't have anyone to take care of me. I ask my parents to stay with them for 3 days right after the surgery and they said no even though they have adequate space. later that year they let my sister-in-law stay there for a week.... I really don't know how to feel about this I feel like they're so fake because they act like they care but they really don't.

Question: Does my son have a foot fetish?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 09:24 AM PST

My 10 year old son will do anything to get close to feet. He's constantly offering me (his father), his two older brothers and younger sister, as well as his uncle and cousin foot massages. I'd walk into his room and see him massaging his brother's feet and not being disgusted by it. Is this normal?

Question: Do people like your mom?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 08:53 AM PST

I love my mom because she's my mom. But many people hate her. My mother is a snob. He has a holier-than-thou attitude all the time. She always looks down on people. I'm a guy, so I guess that why that didn't rub off on me. Though I love my mom, most people can't stand her, except for other snobs like her. Do people like your mom?

Question: Can verbal abuse make someone more quiet than they are?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 08:50 AM PST

I'm a very talkative person but my mom verbally abuses me and doesn't want to listen to anything- she ALWAYS cuts me off at anything I have to say and says "leave me alone, not now, I don't want to hear" in a really mean and rude way. This has made me talk less to her and the way she treats me greatly reduced my confidence a lot.

Question: My mother is very bitter towards my Dad 14 years after their divorce. She resents when I am nice to him. How do I fix this?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 07:59 AM PST

I feel so nervous about the conflict that will arise if she finds out I saw him. I try to be secretive about it but sometimes like at Christmas she finds out.

Question: How do I break free from my family?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 07:23 AM PST

I am 24. I have been having a lot of thought about life lately. In a year or a few years, I will be going on a long road trip with my childhood friend. We want to go away from the stress out on us by our families and social elements. I believe this would be a chance for me to discover my purpose. It will be the same for him. His family holds him back and so does his girlfriend. I feel the same towards my family. My family loves me. But I feel like I live in a toxic environment. My mom is autopiloting on religious ceremonies, work, and her marriage. But she always depends on me for help. I don't want this to be my purpose in life. It's stressful and turns me into a slave to the family. My youngest sister doesn't do anything productive. She doesn't do well in school. Parents spoiled her. I am expected to help her with her homework? When I grew up, nobody helped me get my grades. My other sister keeps bringing her boyfriend over. My mom dislikes him. She always tells me how she feels about the guy. But why should this be my concern? I want to focus on my own growth.. This morning she (my mother) told me to build up my credit to buy us a house. She says it's not right to not have a house. I stayed silent. But what she told me is just what she believes. I don't want to be obligated to buy a house, for a family that I don't care about in the least. She wants to live with me? I don't want to be stuck with my mother forever. I love my family. But I am tired.

Question: My mom lets me put a TV in my room, but I need more TV time, help?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 07:05 AM PST

She gives me an hour a day at most, but I want two hours per day. Help!!!

Question: My Dad is an alcoholic and the whole family is arguing and tense because of it. What would Al-Anon teach me if I went?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 06:35 AM PST

I am 26 and living on my own. My Dad has always been like this some but it has gotten worse in the last ten years. I wanted to do an intervention but my mother and brother object. My brother is in denial and my mother will tell him to stop but says it can't leave the six of us (his 3 kids and her and a grandkid). My sister just ignores it and limits her sons time with him. Family events like Christmas are always tense in fact I visited Christmas Weekend this year and then just traveled alone Christmas Day. My mother was furious I did this but I didn't want the tension to wreck the holiday. Thanksgiving I traveled as well. My Mom's extended family is full of alcoholics so it is all she knew and my father's father was an alcoholic though his mother largely shielded him from it. His mother died in 2009 and his drinking has worsened since. His father died from it long ago (before I was born) and he has an alcoholic sister we have not seen in years.

Question: How do i deal with this situation (family in-law issue)?

Posted: 16 Jan 2018 03:28 AM PST

Bascially my uncle has been dating this woman for about 10 years. I never really liked her, but I just pretended to...just because I thought she would go away. Eventually, she became a serious pain in the ***, telling me and my mother about how aggressive she is at home. Her nervous influence ended up having a really abd effect on me, and I ended up becoming very aggressive as well, essentially ruining me and my moms relationship. i stopped speaking to her years ago, since her feeling of entitlment after doing nothing but **** for me and my family got too much. I promised myself that if she ever had a kid with my uncle, I would cut my whole family out. So basically...I was hoping it wouldnt happen. Not only did it happen, but she is having her third child now with him,once she realised my grandad had dementia, and there is no one to have my back. I dont know what to do??? I need my family, and I dont want to turn into a boring **** like her and pretend to like her boring kids....and I dont have a bf....HELP!!!!

Question: My 17 year old daughter is emotionally attached to a stuffed animal. How do I make her stop?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 11:22 PM PST

My daughter is 17 years old and she claims to be emotionally attached to her stuffed animal dog. This isn't normal and I've tried explaining this to her but she will not listen. She throws a big fit every time I tell her they are not real. Oh she thinks they're real by the way. She's incredibly delusional. I love her but this needs to stop. She treats them like they are real when they're not. She doesn't hear them talk to her but she pretends like they do and she really believes it. She lost her stuffed animal the other day and was having a big anxiety attack. I yelled at her because who wouldn't? She's going to be 18 years old and she still acts like a child. I taught her better than this. I don't understand why she won't listen to me. She threatened suicide over a toy. All because she lost a toy! I understand she has a fear of abandonment but that "fear" is normal. I tell her this daily that it's ok to feel abandoned but she literally screams and cries at me, telling me she will never be abandoned and she loves her baby (stuffed animal). Can someone tell me how to make her stop? Our whole family knows about this situation and only a few agree with me. It's humiliating to me. She also claims to have been raped as a child but I don't believe her because she would've told me as soon as it happened. Right? I hope I'm right. Anyways, can someone please help me make my daughter stop being so attached to things that are fake? I just want her to act her age.

Question: Bad Feeling About My Sister?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 11:00 PM PST

My and sister have not gotten along but have tried after she got kicked out at 20. They talk on phone almost everyday and now she is 26 and needs to move back in with us, and my mom has agreed. She been drinking, doing weed, losing houses because her boyfriend won't work, and is not the same. It's one in the morning and I can't sleep, almost cried because of this bad feeling. I feel like she may harm my mom and me in a horrid way. The feeling is not good. I'm terrified, and my instincts have any told me I need to prepare myself. I want to tell my mom, but I'm scared it might backfire be a because she says she's never to leave her children on the streets. However, why do I feel this way?

Question: Why am I shorter than my parents and siblings?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 10:56 PM PST

I am the 3rd child out of 4 kids in my family. My mom is 5'6" and my dad is 5'8". My older brother is 5'10" and my younger brother is 6'1" and my sister who is the oldst kid in my family is about the same height as me which is 5'5". We are all in our 20s except for my younger brother who is 18 and in high school. I just wonder mainly why both of my brothers are so much taller than me and also why my parents are both taller than me?

Question: Can you force someone to go to church?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 10:05 PM PST

Since my daughter went away to college this last fall she is refusing to go to church with us. I've tried to tell her God can look past her sinful piercings (nose and bellybutton) but He can't forgive her exodus from church. How can I get her to go back to church and save her from more sin? I fear she will get another piercing or a tattoo.

Question: How many have lost their father at a young age?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 09:41 PM PST

I lost my father 4 months ago a day before my birthday. I'm only 22 yrs old and I was also his caregiver. I keep dreaming with him thanking me and telling me he loves me. I miss him dearly. He was such an amazing human being. Best father I could ask for. Life will never be the same without him. Sucks knowing that he would of wanted to meet his grandkids but I waited too long before he was gone.

Question: Is it normal for a 9 year old boy to blurt out inappropriate comments and be hyperactive all the time?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 09:26 PM PST

My cousin can't go a minute without jumping around. He already knocked food over and broke a few items. It got to the point where his mom stopped letting him eat in the living room at all. This little boy says things that sound very impulsive. He seems to assume things a lot and make statements that are wrong (being honest that he doesn't like someone, etc). We've talked to him about private thoughts and how we all think them. His attention span is short and doesn't appear to listen much. My aunt and uncle have all sorts of talks about right and wrong, safety concerns, and classroom behaviour. It doesn't sink into his head unless someone talks to him when he's less active. Over the years, he does know the basics of what he isn't supposed to do but he still does things that are unexpected.

Question: How would you feel if a parent disinherited you?

Question: Would it be weird to date my half brothers' step brother?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 08:55 PM PST

My half brother and I share a dad. His mom dated a guy who already had a son but they never got married before she passed away. Would the guys son still be my half brothers' step brother? And would it be weird if me and him dated?? Sorry if this is confusing.

Question: How to handle hostile family?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 08:40 PM PST

So, over the past year I've grown closer with my family. Now, my mother and my grandma constantly need me to do things for them. Rather it be giving them rides places, for free, or doing home repairs at my mom's house. They will ask me to do things for them, out of my way, and I do, but I feel like they don't appreciate it. They always complain about everything that I do that doesnt involve them, and any time something doesnt go there way, they both are abusive with words. Anything that triggers them makes them blow up on me. They also feel the need to be overly involved in my life and very nosey all the time. I feel in the dark in this situation, and I don't really know what to do because I love both my mom and my grandma, but I'm tired of being so aggravated all the time. Anyone gone through a similar situation?

Question: I'm 15 and I no longer want to live at home. How do I leave?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 08:37 PM PST

I'm a 15 year old boy and no longer want to live at home. It is just too much. Every single night, my mom is always blasting music through the stereo, even if we have school the next day. She has guys over and sometimes tells them to come in my room to sleep with me on my single twin bed, and I'm just thinking wtf!? I have a 17 year old sister who recently left home for similar reasons, but she has family elsewhere and I don't. Bot my mom and dad live here, but she still has other guys over whom she argues with all the time and they come right back, drink, argue, leave, come back, drink, argue, repeat. They do not get physically violent when they drink though. I just think all of that is absolutely ridiculous. I'm in 9th grade and get very good grades in school. I am not very socially active in real life either. I am usually very quiet. But my question how do I leave? Please help. I can not go live with my sister because she lives very far away with HER dad now, whom I don't even know, and my dad lives wit but he's like an old man who just sits there all day. Calling social or child services risks me losing everything, because she always says she bought everything I own, sometimes she's even like "I bought those shoes so don't put them on". She would start claiming my clothes and everything else I own if she finds out I reported her.

Question: Why do I feel weird about my family suddenly having money?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 08:20 PM PST

My whole life, my family's been dead broke. My dad is a programmer and spent years writing his own software to sell. He finally finished it about a year ago, and it really took off and he's making a LOT from it. I know it's a good thing, but it just feels so weird that my family is able to actually AFFORD things, like renting a big house or buying a second car for example. Some of them are really basic necessities that my parents have been putting off for years. We were never able to buy a full set of dishes or towels before. All of this is making me feel so off, and I don't know why.

Question: What should I do about all the restrictions my parents have on my phone?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 07:52 PM PST

My phone has tons of spyware and restrictions on it put it place by my parents, I hacked the restrictions but they can still see everything I search and I can't download apps without their permission and it's frustrating that my parents don't trust me this much. I am not allowed social media!! How should I confront them?

Question: My mother is very unpleasant with me, I don't know what to?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 07:11 PM PST

My mother is always going out of her way to make me feel bad about myself, she constantly hurt my self-esteem, and is often saying hurtful things to me. When I respond and tell her how she is being awful for no good reason. I get 80s-90s in my first year high school and do many things in the house, I clean the dishes, I wash the bathrooms, I clean the carpet, I pass the broom, and I clean the floor every week. My older sister on the other hand just does the smallest bathroom every now and then but my mother always says that I don't do anything in the house. I do not have a father, and she is just making me miserable, what do I do?

Question: When will I move out of this house?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 06:47 PM PST

I live with my parents. And their house is a huge mess. There was mess all over the sink & tables. Crazy and disorganized. I know they'll call me a hypocrite because I do the same, but really it's a learned behavior, I guess. My siblings, too, make a big mess. And our house almost looks like a hoarder's house but with less crazy piles & with more space to live. I don't like it here. Someone dropped my toothbrush on the floor & the toothpaste got water in it, so Idk how I can brush my teeth tonight & so on. I feel disgusted walking anywhere in this house. I'm 15 years old, too young to move out on my own. I don't know how to cook or find a job yet, or even drive. So it will be hard for me as the years go by.

Question: Why are some adults so petty?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 06:15 PM PST

My aunt (through) marriage, came to my mothers house after my grandmother passed, and did not speak to my mother and completely ignored her. My mother has never done anything to her, and has always been polite.

Question: How can I convince my mother to let my stay home?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 05:53 PM PST

This spring, there is a band trip that the school is running. For many reasons, I do not want to go to school at 4 am and spend 18 hours with people who I am not friends with. My mother wantsme to go, and is making me go. It costs a lot of money and she still says "Its a good social oppurtunity". I hate how she tries to help me make friends? Im 14 btw

Question: Am I wrong for avoiding my stepdad and not being around him?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 05:33 PM PST

Okay so my stepdad used to beat me as a child because he would be upset with his job he could take his anger out on me. 1 day he hit me for no reason at all and I fought him back because im older. Now i really choose to just avoid him. Like the whole family will eat together at the kitchen table and ill wait for my stepfather to go upstairs. Also hes off on sundays and i stay in my room all day until he goes to sleep. Only reason why I do this is to avoid physical behavior. Then my mom thinks im scared of him but she knows why. She just never says anyrhing which I hate. She always takes up for him. Im always getting yelled at and I have a serious anger issue so sometimes I just lose my temper and go off. So i stay away from my stepfather cause I dont want to have to end uo fighting. Ive tried to talk to my step dad and he kept just saying long as you live here u obey me but its like u dont have to be mean to me either. What should I do ??

Question: What do I do?!?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 04:44 PM PST

So I cut myself last year bc I was so stressed about everything, take one look at my life and its just full of losses and bad ****. I'm currently in highschool.. and I feel like the screw up child. My brother on the other hand, is perfect... doesn't do drugs, never drinks, smart.. than here comes his little sister! Smokes, drinks, not as smart.. I feel like such a screw up! The walls are thin in my house so I always hear them talking about me, and how my mom doesn't know what to do and how bad I am. But what they don't understand is that smoking.. is a cooping mechanism. I don't smoke every week.. only when I get stressed.. like can't I just have a little weed from time to time instead of cutting? Is that sm to ask? Its not like it's hurting anyone in my family. I hate them so much they don't understand what it's like to be me. And now they are accusing me of stealing money for weed, tf I would never steal money for that it's not like I'm addicted! I just don't know what to do, I literally can't trust or tell my family anything bc they will just use it against me later. Someone please, I don't know what to do and please don't say stupid answers like "stop smoking that simple" like I need some real advice here

Question: What should I do about an extremely discouraging Mother?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 04:39 PM PST

Since I survived and have been in recovery for a stroke my Mom actively discourages me becoming independent again. It feels like She wants to keep me at home. On top of this She guilt trips me frequently and seeems angry at me for things I haven't done on purpose. She's angry She has to help me, that She can't spend as much time in Her pajamas, and that I request extra therapy treatment.

Question: What do you think of the name "Mattiese" for a girl?

Question: My sister thinks I hate her and it’s not because we fight or anything we barely even talk and I don’t know what to tell her?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 04:28 PM PST

Also she is going to college soon and I'm afraid after that we won't even text cause like I said we barely talk now so when she moves for college she will probably forget about me. Last thing is that I'm too scared to just go up and talk to her cause she will probably make fun of me.

Question: How to withstand my judgemental aunt?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 04:05 PM PST

I'm flying to California soon for vacation and I always stay with my aunt and Uncle. Every year I visit, my aunt says something about my appearance. Since finishing high school and starting college I've managed to gain weight and also my acne is still an issue. I know without a doubt that my aunt will point these flaws out and she does so in a brutally honest manner. It hurts when a family member has something negative to say about me and especially with things that are not very easy to control. Any advice on how I can withstand this judgement?

Question: My mom really wants me to get married. I hate being pressured like this please help.?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 03:42 PM PST

I'm 33 and live at home because of student loans and basically just out of laziness and comfort. My mom is a immigrant from Ukraine Over there women are usually married by 25 and have kids. So in her eyes I'm wayyyyy past my prime being 33 and all and she thinks there is something wrong with me for not having a boyfriend and not even looking. She told e yesterday that she is worried for me and my future and that I might be single when she des and ill have no one to take care of me when I'm old so ill die lonely and old nevering having has the experience of having kids. She also said that watching my lifestyle is depressing for her and she cries and worries about it all the time. This broke my heart because on one hand I want my mom to be happy and proud of me and make her feel like she accomplished everyting as a parent but on the other hand I don't see anything wrong with my life. I work full time I'm in nursing school and I come home and hangout around the house. I don't have a boyfriend at this time and although I do want kids I feel like I cant really find my other half and I don't want to have a boyfriend just to have a boyfriend that doesn't interest me at all and I just haven't met anyone recently that likes me o that I really likea lot. I'm pretty cynical when it comes to relationships lasting because of my past boyfriends breaking my heart. So I'm at a loss. I love my mom and want her to be happy but at the same time I just don't have a guy I like. Please advise.

Question: My cousin keeps asking me for money and favors. What do I do?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 02:42 PM PST

She semi-works and is estranged from her parents and siblings (my aunt and uncle and cousins).

Question: My Mom taught me to hate my Dad as a kid after they divorced and so I did and still do. I am 30. What would I say if I met my Dad?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 02:40 PM PST

I watched Dr. Phil today and it was a mother teaching her kids to hate their Dad and my Mom did the same to me. I have not spoken to him since I was 14. I am 45 now. I looked up his name and he is still alive. My Mom died last year. What would I say if I contacted him? He was not perfect or he would have kept reaching out but he certainly never abused me or harmed me at all. In fact my Mom was the disciplinary one, my Dad was the playful type. He had a bad home life as a kid so likely fears rejection and so hasn't reached out to me. What would I say? Should I or is it like an ex-spouse where the less said the better and I shouldn't bother with him? He has a Facebook profile and a picture of who was my half-siblings so he still talks to them.

Question: Mother in law tattles to my husband about me via screenshots. Is this normal? What can I do?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 02:31 PM PST

I am a very outspoken person. When I feel someone is not doing the right thing or has angered me, I am not afraid to tell them off about it. My mom and grandma are the same way. I always send him screen shots of what I say to his mom anyways, but she thinks she is cute to take her own screen shots and send them. She will say "Betty is rude to me, look what she wrote Jim. Please say something to Betty. Is this true?" Then my husband Jim says I am a liar to her. He never defends me, he said that "since I started it he wont defend me, ever. His mom has a right to correct me and call me out for things I do wrong, it is her job to hold me accountable" She is 50 years old!

Question: My parents don't realize I clean so much?

I cleaned the kitchen spotless earlier because I was bored. That s the only reason. I did the dishes, put things away, wiped down the counters, and swept and mopped the floor. And then my mom started unloading the dishwasher and yelled at me for not doing anything.. she does this all the time. No matter what I do, she still doesn't give me any credit... what should I do?? It just upsets me.. :(

Question: Dad says Mom won’t change?

Parents used to fight all the time, went to therapy, and have been much better since then. They have not been to therapy in a while, and they still fight maybe once a month. I have noticed that my dad thinks that my mom won't change, though, which is both true and not true, she has changed, but maybe not enough. I just want my family to be happy

Question: Why do they want to pick fights with me so bad?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 02:23 PM PST

I hardly ever see or speak to my Mom or sister but they text me just to nag at me about random crap. I live 40 minutes away from my Mom but she never visits me or calls but she sees my older sister who lives in the same town as I do. My sister tries to gather information about me that isn't even true then reports back to my Mom who doesn't know anything either. I don't understand why they can't just ask me personally instead of acting like teen girls. They don't bother with me otherwise although I'm pregnant and due in 2 months but don't seem to care or support yet they're concerned about meaningless crap such as what I post online or me talking to my father. It makes no sense at all.
