They refuse to go anywhere because they will not walk on the highway we live off of. I keep telling them it is not my fault there aren't any side walks and the side of the highway is very narrow and boarded up with metal fences. I tell them just to walk in the middle of the highway, yet they refuse. It is not my fault that we do not live in the city so we do not have a public transit system nearby us. It is not my fault neither can drive(I do not want to teach them). And it is not my fault they do not have any friends who can pick them up to hang out(I have them home schooled). What would you do if your kids were worthless?

We raised a "handful, " to say the least. It took all my strength - and time - to get her graduated, but she did. I had two, sweet friends/neighbors that were equally busy (but with family), so we saw each other at all the perfect times. However, graduation ended it all. She moved that very day, and so did we - 14 straight hour's distance away from each other, and much further than that from our old friends. Right after we moved back to be near family, my mother had an accident. It was no big deal at first to move in with her, but now i feel stuck. I'm here almost 24 hours a day, and I get very little support. I very much need companionship. My husband's basically bedridden, and my mother is used to having time to herself. I appreciated the peace at first, but now it's getting to me. I don't know what to do. Even if i could get out for an hour here or there , i don't know anyone. Any suggestions?

I am 22 and he is 51. I always found him sexy and he is not as bad as he once was though he is not in his son's life much (they only see each other at reunions and funerals). He was arrested at 21 for sexual assault my Mom says but that was 30 years ago and he hasn't done it since. He is a redneck but I don't mind that as my Dad and step-Mom are rednecks. So should I ask him out and if so how do I win him over? I have always had fantasies about him. I see him each year at my uncle's holiday party and when there is a summer gathering at his house as the guy lives with his mother (my uncle's mother-in-law). He has ever since getting out of jail 19 years ago but I find that sweet and don't know why people criticize him for it. He did move out for the 6 years he was married. He does not know his daughter at all but that is the mothers fault. So how do I ask him out and should I despite the age difference? Do I tell him I have always been attracted to him?

In a few weeks my cousin is coming to town with her new baby. I want to reach out by getting a baby gift and offering to bring it by where she is staying (at my aunt's which is her Mom's). I am scared I will seem intrusive however. I am scared if I mess up socially I will be cast out of the family forever. Also, I am scared the family will have a party for my cousin and her new baby with all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and my grandmother. I fear they will leave me out since my Mom is deceased and they are not close to my Dad. This is my late mother's side of the family. Thus, the whole family will gather and I will be left out and feel that pain of rejection that I felt as a kid when my Mom wouldn't let me see them due to a feud my Mom caused. I feel so hurt when this happens. So what do I do about these two fears to make sure neither happens? Please advise. I am 32 and male and thus living on my own so it is not like I have to only go if my Dad does but for a party I'd have to be invited obviously.

a few minutes ago, i decided to ask my mom why she was always in a bad mood. i'm always at home doing school since i do online school, and although i don't get amazing grades, i try. she told me, "i don't ever see you trying, and it makes me sad and mad because you're going to bring that attitude to high school and get a terrible job and life." i told her that 6th grade isn't going to determine my path for life, and i think i said it way too rudely.. i have no idea, but everytime i open up to my mom, she is rude about it to me so i decided to be rude back because i wanted her to feel what i feel everyday. she started to cry and said, "thanks, i opened up about my feelings to you and all you do is sit there and be rude to me.. thanks a lot." she then stood up and walked away crying. i feel so bad now and i'm crying at the moment because all i wanted to do was make it better between us and i literally ruined everything. i don't know what to do or if i should leave her alone. i know she loves me, and i took that for granted.

The child was never up for adoption but stayed in the same foster home, grew up with that family. When teens turn 18, they'll be legally adults and responsible for themselves anyways.. even your bio kids. So technically, the foster parents would've raised them for a long time. And it's just like having an adult child around when they age out.

Me and my mom are trying to save up some money for my two uncle's wedding which is supposed to take place next year. It was my idea since I know my mom's side of the family don't earn enough money to have a decent wedding. So, here I am giving up my pocket money, the things I love to buy, places I love to eat just so we can save money but she keeps going out and spending it all (she's spending it on her other relatives) and when I try to buy something for someone she tells me no 'we need to save'. Its pissing me off and its making me so angry. I've no clue what to do. And when I express my anger, she goes into her room, ignores me and doesn't even ask me if I ate or not. I'm all for her buying things for her family but not when we're trying to save. I've never stopped her before but I have to sometime. She's been sending them things for 7 years now. When does it end? And its not like she buys just one thing for one person. She buys so much that when we have to travel back to where her family lives, all our luggage is filled with their stuff and I STILL HAVE TO COMPROMISE ON MY THINGS. What do I do? Please help. It's stressing me out.

She is going to be 7 this month and she is already self-conscience. She constantly makes comments about her weight and if she is getting fat. She says things like ' am I going to be on my-600pd life? I try to consistently call her pretty and smart, but where is she getting this stuff from?

My mom has been neglecting my sister and I since I was born. It's gotten way worse over the years. It continues to happen and nobody (besides me) is doing anything about it. My sister (17) doesn't seem to care. Even if she did, she wouldn't mention anything about it to our mom because our mom treats her like a perfect little angel and my sister wouldn't want her to feel like a bad parent. I have a toxic relationship with our mom though. We fight 24/7. Anyways, every time I mention anything about my situation to our mom, it doesn't sink in and she doesn't care. She doesn't get that I'm crying out for help. I don't know what to do. How can I make her understand how abusive she is? How do I talk to her without her brushing it off? I know it's ridiculous that it takes me (the 13 year old) to fix it but nobody else will. Any advice would be greatly appreciated xx

So my mother basically my whole life has been mentally and physically abusive to me . Even after her doing horrid things we didn't have a relationship but I still sent her cards, reached out to her without no reply from her now after all these years she texts me saying she has cancer on her kidney and wants me to be there and to fly out to another state to support her. I'm know where near mean but I really didn't want to go because of all the wickedness and hurt she's cause. Even after asking for my help she was a bit rude to me which I didn't respond back. If you were me would you go? I do have a half sister who lives with her and is 16. Would I be horrid if i didn't go? By the way im 32 female

Okay so my dad and I went to the doctors today for my asthma and while I was waiting in the waiting room, this old white guy next to me was asking questions to this girl infront of me and he kept telling her that she was fat and if she tried losing weight and stuff like that. The girl looked really uncomfortable and hurt. I wanted to tell the dude to like stop asking her questions and mind his own business but my terrible anxiety kept going left and right in my head saying no don't say anything and mind your business, your not going to be able to say anything because you're scared anyways. So the girl left crying looking for her mom in the other rooms and I'm here getting angry at myself for not like saying anything. After the mom and daughter came back, the girl just like got out of the clinic and the mom had to wait for some papers and then the old dude started talking to the mom saying that the daughter needs to lose weight.. I don't know how but I finally told him nicely, " Sir, please stop, it's none of your business so please be quiet." Holy hell like after saying that my hands were shaking so hard and my eyes were watery, because it's really hard for me to actually speak to anyone but saying that. Wow. He did stop talking so yeah... but did I do good? Should I just minded my own business? Gosh am I really just overthinking this..?

My mum hears voices and thinks they are real voices being transmitted and played on her brain frequency. They can be very distressing to her, causing her paranoia and anxiety. She often thinks people are following us when we re driving, thinks people are listening in on us when we are home and has had times in the past when she thinks she is broadcasting on the sports network or is being burned by lasers. I don t know what to do or how to help her. Any ideas? She can get kind of creepy sometimes, even though I know it s not her fault.

So I'm 16 and sometimes and I wonder why my father even bothered to have kids when he doesn't even seem to care that much about them. -He blatantly ignores me if I ask him a question when he could just give me a simple yes or no answer. -He'll spend hours talking to his friends on the phone but gets irritated just talking to me for 5 minutes. - One time I asked him where we're going for the weekend, he got irritated and said, "Why do you always have to hang out with your family? Why can't you make your own friends?" As if hanging out with your own family is a crime. And when I got upset when he said that he told me I'm "so sensitive." -He only asks me if I've completed my homework and never asks how I'm doing and such. - When I was getting bullied in middle school and was crying all he did was nod his head and continue looking at his phone. My mother is a lot more caring than my father. My dad even has the audacity to say that I'm the rude one. Sometimes I really dislike him, but I am grateful that at least I don't have a physically abusive father. How do I deal with him?

Please read all of this. Long story short, I live with my aunt and uncle cause my father was a deadbeat and my mother couldn't care for both me and my autistic brother. But, I hate living here. I know it's a better place that where I was. However, my aunt and uncle fight constantly. He throws things at her, threatens to divorce her, and breaks her things a lot. After the argument, anger is taken out on me. I'm tired of being yelled and screamed at for no reason. Recently, after my mother fell into some drugs and started starving herself because of her new boyfriend, I've felt almost depressed. I could never tell my guardians, they'd laugh at me. My uncle doesn't think teenagers can be depressed. But, my grades are slipping and I been having some less than desirable thoughts. I don't know how to get out of this. Am I being overdramatic? It might just be something stupid, I guess I'm known for overeacting to normal things. I have no one to talk to, about any of this. And a therapist is out of the equation. I need some advice, I feel like I'm drowning here. I didn't write down everything I wanted to say, but I don't want to bother people with too much stuff.

my friend gave me this over sized sweater because she didn't like it anymore. my dad says it's too big and it could have like, diseases or something on it?? he got super mad at me and told me if i ever accepted anything from my friends again, he'd hit me. i wanted to keep the sweater because it was perfectly fine but he took it out of my closet and threw it in the trash. i get yelled at constantly and i eventually got used to it. i could deal with getting yelled at, but i can't deal with him TAKING MY stuff and throwing it away because HE doesn't like it.

My little brother whines a lot at night and I can't sleep. He's literally just a big humanoid lump on my back and he freaks out when I roll over. I have to sleep on my side and I hate sleeping on my side. Would I survive if I just cut him off? I'm tired of being attached to my brother. He makes it hard to sleep. Parents don't care. What do I do?

This women came to america with her family in the mid 1970s, 4 children, disappears with all the family savings later to be found with a boyfriend living it up in another state., when her children started seeking marital documents from Europe she then targeted them from fear they would discover the scandal as she also robbed her ex back in Europe while pretending she was still his wife during the 1980s, fooling his own family into believing the visited on her own.
