I got her checked out at 3 or 4 years old and nothing was odd. It doesn't effect her, but some things she describes are those little myth creatures. She is not into fantasy stuff, but it happens. My teen swore that she saw "something" near a soda can on the streets. She picked it up and threw it away.. she doesn't talk about it much. When she was younger, she'd insist that it's crazy. I'm not sure what it is, but the descriptions sound like little fairies we read from childhood, etc.

These past few years for me have been hell. I cry every day. I think my parents are neglecting me. First off: I have hardly any clothes. I have some jeans, but none of them fit. I have some t-shirts but most of them are too small for me. I don't have any skirts or dresses. I have a few hoodies but one is getting small. I have a sweater but it's too small. I'm not allowed to buy new clothes. My parents say I have plenty already and I can buy it with my own money. I do have a job but when they pay me it's in checks and my mom refuses to get money out of my bank account for me to buy stuff. I do get some cash here and there but it's hardly enough to buy clothes. Currently I have 20 dollars. I really want to ask my mom if she can drive me to the store but I'm afraid she's gonna say no and that 20 dollars is gonna buy hardly anything. Second: my room is crap. This makes me sound like a baby but: first of all my room is a bright pink. We ripped out the carpet six years ago so I get splinters a lot. My dad threw out my bed so I have to sleep on an air mattress until college. I heard air mattresses can be hard on my back. It needs to be redone. I'm embarrassed to have my friends over. It makes me feel like a baby and I hate it so much. I could call child abuse hotline but they're not really abusing me. They're good parents except when it comes to the things I mentioned. I love them and I don't want to lose them. What do I do??

So I work and I absolute hate it but I was motivated at the fact that I have my own money to spend when, where, and on what I want. I am even saving my money for a few ~major~ things at the end of this year. When I applied for my job, the only bank account I had was the one that was connected to my dad's account, meaning that all my earnings go into this account. I made my own account and I asked my dad if he can put all my earnings into that's account but he refused because he doesn't want me to handle a big sum of MY HARD EARNED money. So when I want something I ask my dad to transfer me the amount of money I need and he does it for me. I've bought a birthday gift for my mum, some shoes for myself, and some other small things. Yesterday my mum told me that this WHOLE time my dad has been putting his money in my account for me to buy those things therefore my money hasn't been spent. You are probably thinking "I wish my parents could do that for me, what a spoiled brat" but I honestly like the idea of being responsible with my own money and having that good feeling you get when you know you have worked for something. They will refuse to put any money in my account that is mine saying that "you will need it later?" What do I do?

So last night we got into an argument about my poor attitude and she started to widen her eyes and nod crazily and just show symptoms of being insane. She would cut me off and nod her head quickly with scary eyes and get excited to punish me and when she insulted me I said "thanks a lot that makes me feel great" and she put a thumbs up and clapped her hands and smiled, like a psycho. Then I started getting angrier and when I tried to go get my things from downstairs she took them and ran around the house with them away from me trying to hide, trying to call her mother (faking a phone call with her mother for about 5 minutes straight) and when I tried to block her from leaving her room so she can address her problems like a human being, she started to get physical and aggressive. She started pushing me hard and then pulling me by my hair down to the ground so I would get out of her way. All the time she is screaming and then finally she called my dad to try and tell him to come home now and that's when she finally sat down and ignored me, giggling to herself and texting and being a really insane person. Is she unfit to be a mother? Should I call somebody or try and get her help? I think she is a psycho and I had to hide in my room because she was trying to hunt me down like a psycho.

It's been assumed that my parents don't have that "die for you" love set on stone because I'm adopted. Also that they don't show any affection or talk fondly of me. This is not true at all, my parents showed equal love to my brother and I (he's their bio son). But overall, I have met a few people who thought my parents had a whole "different" love where they were ONLY willing to take care of me, meet my daily needs, but no affection.

My Older brother and his Girfriend soon to be wife had a Baby recently. They asked to join the Baby shower on Sat. But I don't want to go im not a people person, I mostly stay at home only got out at night to walk my Dog twice and play in the yard, I hate being around a lot of people. And I don't even know His Girlfriend or her Family. And I don't like Children but care for them because there the New Generation. My Brother has another child he is 10 or 11. I don't even know him so I didn't develop Family love for him Should I go or not??? I'm scared they will hate me if I don't go. I'm scared if I go I'll have a panic attack with all those people at the Hall.

my father is very nice sometimes, a lot of the time. but sometimes whenever I say something he treats me like a school mate, mocking me and totally disregarding whatever I say. He doesn't give me much attention (real attention, not just nodding his head in acknowledgement) and if he does it's negative. we don't get too spend much time together. if I tell him about my interests in life he wants to hear about the school work I'm doing. Sometimes I just feel like he doesn't really care about my feelings. I know he wants me to succeed but I just don't know what to do anymore. I even try to apologize when I get angry (I get angry rightfully when he's mocking me and such) but he always turns the blame on me. I wish he would acknowledge that giving him respect isn't hard when he doesn't treat me the best

If you're a pedophile, I'm sure the government would say NO for example. They go through screening and check ups. These kids show high rates of abuse and trafficking. I don't get why as my point states that not everyone is permitted to foster.

When I was 11-12, everything said mattered even if it was not important or I was the one doing something wrong. I'm almost 16 now... it doesn't effect me as much? It's like I naturally became less sensitive over petty things. It won't ruin my whole day knowing that a kid said my clothes were ugly, etc. But it sure did when I was a 6th grader. Things just slowly fade and decided that it doesn't matter as the years pass on. Similarly most kids get over the fact that their parents don't buy them whatever they want, but it mattered a lot when they're 4 (in my experience)

My friend is married to my brother in law they have a daughter who's going on 3 months old he's scared of loosing her while she's sleeping. Some of his friends have had babies and children die in their sleep some for unknown reasons. He's scared to talk to his partner about it. Their daughter seems to sleep just fine she doesn't cry at night which is good but it worries him. He tends to get very emotional about the littlest things especially when it comes to children or babies dying. How can I help him feel better ? He wants to know what causes babies and kids to die in their sleep ?

So to give a general idea, I take baseball lessons and do personal training, which I appreciate. I also go to the gym. However, my family tells my brother to go to the gym at the same time as me so he can watch over me and annoy me. My parents keep pushing back when I will get my drivers license, because they don't trust me driving a car, when I am far better than them. I can't even talk about girls, because they want to know everything about them and if I would date them. They get worried when I spend time in my room, even if it's only 10 mins. Overall, I just need some way to respectfully tell them to back off. Deal with it is not an answer.

Hi, im a 13 yr old girl.My dad abounded me before I was even born. When my mom told him bout me even with a bialogical father report saying he was my dad, he said not my child b word. I meet him for the very first time in may 2017 then on fathers day he threatened to kill my mom and said i signed my rights away b bc she wanted childsuport is it my fault they had that fight n he abounded me? I haven't seen him since the fight happened. Why does he hate me did i do something wrong? Why did he leave me before he knew me? Now hes in jail n told me he never love me liked he did his other 2 kids

Lets say the kid generally has loving parents and a safe home. The child is doing things that can cause death or severe injury (climbing on top of building etc). Or they're engaging with pedophiles and meeting up with them. If the parents won't take steps further to protect this child from harming themselves, would CPS take them into foster care?

13.8 years old, 107 pounds my mom is 5'8.5 and my dad is 5'8. my moms side is pretty tall and my dads side is very short. my grandma(moms side) is 5'6 or 5'7 and grandpa(moms side) 5'10 i believe. my dads side i'm not quite sure because i do not remember their heights when they were alive but all i know is they're we're very short below the average height. anyone have an idea if i am going to ben short or tall?

I'm 22 and I'm currently prego in college living with my sister. Yes my child has a father. I don't currently work anymore,but soon! I share room with her 2 kids(age 7&5) who have no manners respect & their messy, so is my sis. Their father lives down the street but they don't get along. For years I've been annoyed with them but these days it seems as though I just want to bash their heads into the walls. I get annoyed just seeing them alive. No family wants to watch them cause they don't listen.I'm happy when their not here 4 days each month.They tell me I can't touch them or mom will get mad. I can't spank them anymore,just tolerate. From 5am to 10pm at night she constantly YELLS at them annoyed or stay locked in her room so I have to deal with them. Even when working> I clean the house almost everyday,yet it's always a mess, she dont clean, just add to the mess. I cook, they waste it. I drive them to & from school twice a week(she VOLUNTARILY NOW pays my car insurance so I can continue to mainly drive them, yet complain about it),babysit them everyday. She works 2-3 days out the week at hospital.I think because of them I hate kids and I'm about to have one. Must raise MINE better, I don't pay any bills anymore so I can't say much and she IS still letting me stay with a baby.I'm greatfull. I do plan to move out within the next 2-3 years. I CHOOSE not to live with my child's father(that leads to more kids). Am I wrong for these neg. feelings tho? Any serious suggestions?

I noticed that I've been canceling on dates a lot lately. I rather hangout with my friends than hangout with him. Also I noticed I enjoy talking to his friends more than i enjoy talking to him. Is that rude if I laugh at his friends jokes and have more of a conversation with his friend than with him? It's not on purpose either

I was totally in love with his cousin on his dad's side im his cousin on his mom's side . I feek like he sabatoged anyrhing that could have happend and he has done some space invading things to make me uncomfotable and he always wants to talk about how good he is in bed gave ne the creeps

I was a little girl, 9 yo living with my mom, my dad and my older brother. My dad was an agressive and violent person, getting drunk almost every day. As a result of it, he was beating up and torturing my mother very often. Me and my brother(he was 20 at that time) knew about it, but couldn`t help as our mom didn`t want us to get involved. Meanwhile, my brother started dating a girl ( his current wife). She was from another town, working together with my bro in the same bar. They couldn`t afford to pay rent, so my bro brought his girlfriend to stay with us until they find a solution for their own place. I was very happy and i had hope that my dad's torture over mom will stop, as Lucy(my brother` GF) was living with us. But, that wasn`t a reason for my dad. One night, my brother was at work, me and Lucy were in the living room as she had a day off. Suddenly, mom and dad came in. Dad started yelling, he slapped mom few times, grabbed her by the hair and pushed her on the floor. I was terrified and confused, as it all happened in front of Lucy. Surprisingly, Lucy acted like nothing was going on, sitting on the sofa and watching. She was totally relaxed while my dad was kicking and pulling my mom on the carpet. I noticed a smile on her face and it made me feel upset. My mom tried to get up, but dad caught her head and turned it to Lucy`s feet, forcing mom to kiss them.Lucy then started laughing at my helpless mom,laying under her feet. How can i forget this after 10 years?HOW?

She was super nice, funny, flattering, and charismatic in the beginning and now only when you do things for her, like give her rides to work, buy her food, pay her share of the rent... and she asks you for favors in a preliminary manner that forces you to say "No" to HER (e.g., "Will you be home later today?" when she wants a ride home from work, or "do you have quarters for laundry?" when they're sitting right there on your desk). She's the aggressive type that will slam doors, cry, play the victim, and attack your insecurities with insults when you are useless to her or when she wants to break you down and appear superior to you. She does not respect boundaries (going into my room to borrow clothes, eating my food without asking, making messes in our common areas and waiting for us to clean up...just total disrespect). When confronted about anything, she finds a way to make you seem unreasonable or at fault. (e.g. she leaves the milk out: "I can't believe you're making a big deal out of this-it's just milk!). I avoid going home as much as possible and spend a lot of time in my room, and I'm sick of it...but I have 8 more months on the lease. I want to move out but it's super cheap and our other roommate has taken both shares of the rent (they were in a relationship so it's complicated. This person is more tangled in her web). I might be getting a promotion at work but don't want to jump ship and find out I can't afford a new living space. But I'm going NUTS! What do I do?

I am really scared of my brother. He is autistic and aged 10. Right now he behaves well and autism just means he has a very hard time socially. But he is adopted like the Florida shooter and he is autistic like I heard the Florida shooter was as well as a shooter a long time ago when I was little in a city called Sandy Hook was (not sure where that is). I am scared when he gets to be a teen he will want to hurt people since he is autistic and adopted. I am not adopted and not autistic even though I have learning disabilities so I am not dangerous. I am 15 and peaceful. My brother will not be by age 15 cause of his adoption and autism as my Mom says adoption is a sensitive topic for some. I am really scared of him now with the news this week of the bad guy in Florida. So should I get my parents to arm themselves so we will be safe when my brother's autism and adoption make him violent one day if it does happen? Or will that make us in more danger if my brother finds out they are armed? Should I try to move in with my grandmother so I don;t have to be near my brother anymore when he gets bad one day? Please advise, thanks. Not trolling user Blunt, this is a real fear of mine. It is all over the news. Read here---https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/us/nikolas-cruz-florida-shooting.html

I'm 19, i have a soon to be 2 yo brother. My mom scream with him, hit his hands when doing "something bad/wrong", when he cries she use to just say a bunch of stuff like he supposed to understand her (he's 18 months old! She treats him like he know every single word in the dictionary). I've watched a documentary that stated when a baby is crying, the longer the mother takes to respond to him the biger the chances are of that baby growing up with emotional issues and difficulty dealing with its emotions, feelings, etc... She used to beat me up when i was a child.. and seeing the way she treats him makes me really sad and disturbed. I know that as he grows older the hash treatments and punishments will escalate. I feel like i need to get the hell out of here before that happens cuz i won't stand seeing this!

I have my freshman dance coming soon and my mom said I have to buy my outfit for it. As a child who isn't old enough to work and doesn't even have my drivers liscense I feel that it isn't fair to spend the small amount that I get for my birthday and Christmas, etc etc... it has even gotten (in the last couple of years) to where I have to only ask for money for Christmas and my birthday because I am having to pay for things like this (clothes, shoes, extra phone chargers if some have broken, etc)
