Lets start of with everyone in my family has "problems" I never really did. That's what we all say right, but no really i didn't. The only problem i had was my sister picking on me because my grandma "favored" me. Back to not having problems... In Hs i had a boyfriend i went to community college i moved to Washington and then boom depression kicked in i moved back to my home state and real depression kicked in... i get over things pretty quick though.. so i was still looking for a job my mom said she would help, my sister was going to let me stay at her place and long story short they failed to do what they said. The only answer that comes to mind is that in the vulnerable place thatim in... basically being broke no car and homeless...they are kicking me while I'm down... wanting me to feel what they once felt. I have but i don't sit in it like they will. So they just keep poking at me, I have an interview set up that will free me from all of this if it works out. Whats scary is that i plan on telling my two sisters that had sex with there husbands so it can ruin them how they "tried" to ruin me. I know my mom will be angry to. I just don't plan on talking to them anymore. even if i forgive i don't know how to forget this evil. i also know if i don't forgive then they win because ill regret "ruining" them because its not what i want to do, but i do want to show them evil never wins.

Lately we've had loads of fights and arguments, it's gotten out of hand. The problem is I don't like him and I don't think he likes me. Everyone else in our house seem to like him and so side with him calling me immature or being "angsty teen". I just think he's fake and I feel he has no right coming in to our home telling us what to do and all that, he's not my dad. I've told him and my mom this many times. It all escalated last weekend when he started bossing me around and scolding me after catching me skipping school. I have my reasons and I feel it's no business of his. We had a heated argument and in the end I suckerpunched him after he called me names. I ran away immediately, and I've now been at various friends' houses but don't think I can stay that way for too long. What should I do now? I've been scolded before but never hit him in previous arguments, if I go back everyone's going to be super pissed off, it's going to be mental. Also I don't want to apologize to him. I want that guy out of our home!

I am 24 years old, and had to drop out of university last year due to financial reasons. I had some money saved, but I personally chose to give that money to my mother to prevent her and my sisters from being homeless. Now, because I gave them everything I had, I am living with my grandparents, siblings, and mother. We were forced to move states, to my uncle's home, because of financial instability. We lived with him for a few months, and now we live in a small apartment. I need to make money, and find a job, but between the six of us there is only one car. The last interview I went to, the interviewer saw my mother dropping me off, and picking me up, after I lied and said I had my own car. I don't want to lie about that again, because I know it will back fire on me. I need financial independence, but in Orlando it is so difficult to get a job of any kind, because refugees are getting preference in the workforce, I don't have a car, and public transportation is very unreliable. I live in a neighborhood where any kind of supermarket is at least a 20 minute drive away, so there is no place where I can simply walk easily to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am open to anything.

I've always supported my mom, financially (even though im still 17) and emotionally, especially after our abusive father left. But she's clinging a bit too much. My first ever pay i gave all the money to her, my pay the next year i spent on things me and my sister needed so my mom wouldn't have that in mind (her wishes) and this years pay (during the summer) is gonna be the same. I don't mind too much helping her but it's gotten to the point where she sees it as a requirement, like im her partner, she forgets im still her daughter. Bringing up me wanting to move out is the worst thing, she sees it as if im abandoning her, and it makes me so mad cause i don't want her to give me the responsibility as if im her partner, i didn't choose this situation whoch means i have the right to move out without her saying im abandoning them. And it's not like im asking her for money cause im a very independent and responsible woman. I just want her to let me have it my way. A reason i even want to move out is because we don't agree on religion (she of course doesn't know and thinks im religious) but we simply don't have the same values and also i want to take this step and move out! like most young adults want to! Still, i feel extremely guilty. i won't be able to move out for another year or two but im already thinking how big of a disaster the actual conversation will be making me think maybe i should just stay home and keep up this act. advice would help thank you Some answers said that she'll eventually accept it, which i don't think is the case cause my sister moved out two years ago and she has completely cut ties with her, she don't see her, we don't see her, my mom didn't even attend her wedding. So yeah i probably should've brought it up.

Because my mom and dad are my caregivers even though I am 24. Because I have disabilities. My mom is my legal guardian and my mom and don't won't take me seriously or just don't care. I tell them but they say I won't do it. I am afraid to tell my councelor because I don't want to go to the mental hospital.

My mom keeps saying that she hates how lazy I am, she keeps on comparing me to other girls that do their chores every day. Sure, I do chores but its my mess I clean up, not others. She said "I wish I didn t have a lazy daughter" then I answered back "Well, i didn t ask you to give birth to me" . She hit me. I feel so stressed out. Sometimes i think about suicide but too afraid to do it. I feel that someday i might really do it.

Two weeks ago I sneaked out of the house to go to one of my friends house: She had invited a lot of people over in the middle of the week since her mom was working at the hospital overnight so it was like a party but not really since we were mostly just hanging out. I was told I couldn't go but I sneaked out after my dad and stepmother had went to bed. I got back around 3 and my dad was waiting for me in my room and he yelled at me then told me that I was grounded until further notice but it's been 2 weeks now and I really want to go to this concert with my friends. I had already bought my ticket a few months back. I've already apologized. How do I get him to let me go?

Im 30 yrs old and my girlfriend is 45 and she has two kids well daughters one is 27 and the other 21 and they live with her i know theyre adults but they dont respect me sometimes i be telling them things to do like fatherly(im not trying be their dad) they laugh and don't listen to me they even say i look more of a brother than a father to them i dont get it how do i get them to listen? Like sometimes they argue with their mom and when i tell them stop it they say rude things to me.im getting pissed why dont young people respect their elders? I have no kids btw i swear i hate youth of today

She made it very clear she wants nothing to do with him, and hardly talks to him unless she has too. However she has been nice to me, but I only met her twice. With the new school year coming up soon she sent him a text saying how about I pay for the school registration, and school supplies this year, and you can pay for breakfast, and much. He told her what is what child support is for, and she told him when the time comes he can just write a check to the school, and drop it off. He went on again saying that is what child support is for, and she can bring a lunch, and eat breakfast at school, but she said it is easier for her to bring her lunch, plus she likes to bye because her friends all buy. With breakfast she does eat at home, but sometimes they have something special she likes. Again he just said that is what child support is for. He also got mad because she made him buy his own car seat, and got in him about making sure the strips are not lose. He didnt like that when she turned 4 she made him buy a 5 point harness. She was just under 30lbs, and he made a big deal about her weight, and his kid being thin, but the mom is tiny. She is about a size 2, and no more then 110 I've seen the mom eat. I am really starting to question things. She only get 200 on a good month, and he works a lot under the table so its money she never sees for their kid. The only thing he ever said to me is child support supposed to cover everything he doesn't have to provide nothing more

Everyday he wakes us up at 4 Am. He always cussed at me my mom and sometimes but not always my brother. He tells us all to leave all the time then a few hours later he will tell us to ccome back or if we not he threaten to kill us. He throws stuff around the house abs always blames everything om us. How do I stop it

One of my great aunts married somebody but died only a year later, leaving my great uncle widowed. He married again many years later. Is he still my great uncle or what?

Last Wednesday my brother in law was over. He lives next door with the rest of my husbands family. We live in their in law house. Well he was over that night talking but also drinking. He had drank almost two 750ml bottles of wine. He is 22 and never drinks. Well when he was almost done the second bottle of wine I got ip from sitting on the couch to use the bathroom and he jumped up from behind and pulled me backwards in to a choke hold. I yelled for him to stop as he squeezed harder. To the point I couldn't or yell. I finally got away pulling as hard as I could. I got away and went straight to the bathroom. My husband then called letting me know he was coming home from work (he works nights). I told him to hurry and get here. So I came out the bathroom and outside to avoid him. My husband got home (45 minutes later) and his brother was completely drunk. I told my husband I didnt think he knew what he was doing as he had been drinking and he never does. As I started to think back on it with a swollen bruised neck Im not sure if it was only the alcohol. I'm confused. I didn't want to make a big deal about it because he was drunk and I live at my husbands families house. I have been in pain and I have to hide my neck in public. I feel horrible. I'm so confused.

If anything, I'M better off without THEM.

Vs when im not that happy about myself he Will be more generous to me. Its not just him its almost every man this I encounter.. is it because im a good looking kind man?

My husband of 7 years and I have been trying to conceive for the last three years. Due to a low sperm count and myself previously being overweight I still can't fall pregnant. My mother being into alternative treatments has taken it upon herself to rub my husbands testicles with honey daily. Apparently it is supposed to build up the spermicide count of men. Don't ask me how. At first when I walked into her bedroom and seeing my husband with his pants down to his ankle and my mother rubbing the honey on his testicles I was naturally quite surprised but once they both explained what was actually happening I understood. But unfortunately this so called treatment has been going on for 5 months now and I am still not pregnant. Not only that my husband says the honey treatment has side affects that lower his sex drive whilst with me. Should I tell my mother that the side affects of the treatment outweigh the benefits of my husbands sex drive continues to suffer ?

My parents and I have a really bad relationship. Like really really bad. The other day, my father told me I needed to get a job. Now i'm 16, just turned 16 7 months ago, and have really bad depression and anxiety. I literally had to drop out of high school and take online classes because my anxiety was so bad. I've lost my best friend and grandmother due to death in the last 2 months, and it's really hitting my depression hard. I'm not ready to get back out there. My parents act like i'm some lazy princess who gets to sit around the house all day doing nothing. My sister is in school and they always compare me to her which really doesn't ******* help. I guess the reason I told you guys all that is to avoid the "your parents are trying to teach you respect" blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda comments. My question is, if I tell them directly about the anxiety, depression, etc getting in the way, they'll just scoff or call me dramatic. What do I do?

Maybe you don't care to spend that much time with them.

Sorry if it's long! Okay so I'm a young adult 22 and I just recently found out my parents are splitting up yes I'm hurt but I do understand why it's happening. I was getting ready to move out when my dad told me the news so I decided to stay and help my mom out since she doesn't work and takes care of my grandma full time! I just couldn't bring myself to leave my mom knowing she would have a hard time. But ever since I told her the news about her marriage I feel like she is taking it out on me! I understand it is tough for her and how she may feel and how she is stressed out but I still don't feel like she should be taking her frustrations out on me I'm also going through the same thing she is just on a different level ! She knit picks at everything I do now and is constantly giving me the eye like I'm the cause of her marriage it's not my fault! I honestly don't know how much more I can take of it! What do I do?

I'll start my father's girlfriend at the time kidnapped my daughter when she was 3, she was caught 15 minutes after she took her and spent time in prison. My father married her a few months after that.

If you have one of each, one girl is physically mature but her twin sister could still pass for 9 or 10 years old and is a late bloomer. Still wears children's clothing and hasn't reached puberty. When it comes to freedom and going out, would you be more cautious with the kid who looks older?

I don't care if my husband pays for the goddamn phone! I can't ******* get ahold of my son or find out where he is now! I don't care if my son is an adult now, that's my ducking child! My husband doesn't care because that's not his real son, he didn't efen wait for me to get home from work before doing anything! I want to kill this motherf*cker now! I seriously feel like divorcing him now, but how do I get ahold of my son??? He could be anywhere for all I know, possibly even another country, I know he has Facebook friends in other countries. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!?

Dad, please stop, I love her I don't care that she's infertile. She's funny, kind, and the only person who loves me for me. I know you want grandkids, i want kids too but she's who I want to spend the rest of my life with. Please come to the wedding. I really want you to be there for me.

Okay, so I m 21 (yeah I know) but life was going great for me up until about last year. For a couple years I lived off and on with my dad or my mom, every other week or so switching between the two until I got kind of pushed out of my moms by my at-the-time manipulative sister. Well, I was going to college, had my part time job, and a wonderful girlfriend but **** started to hit the fan when I dropped a few classes due to my workload and was denied the loan for that semester or any following semesters until the debt was paid. Sleep started to become an issue in this household, I started spending much more time in the negative environment of always walking on egg-shells, listening to one family member belittling and controlling his spouse almost constantly, and having no respect for me whatsoever. With all of my stress and choosing to live in despair I really believe it s part of the reason why I m single today and feel so trapped/helpless. Not to point the blame but seeing as I cant really afford to go anywhere else right now is there any advice from people in similar situations? I m an adult and I damn near feel like an abused child and it s absolutely ridiculous.

Hey guys, So I have a problem with my life that I need advice for. Basically, I have spent 5 years of my life home-schooled and for my senior year, I want to go to a real high school. There are many things in my life that I want to change. So let's start with my work life. I currently work at a Dunkin Donuts 3 days a week, weekends and 1 day during the week. This does not affect my grades whatsoever as I currently have all A's. My mom is threatening to quit me, and to be honest if she does that I would probably start to hate her. This job is the only place that I go to. Now my school life... I have spent the last 5 years of my life home-schooled. For my senior year, I want to go to a real high school so I could experience everything a teenager should and actually try to live my life. But I am a Muslim girl and my parents, mom especially, are very strict. I feel like they keep me prisoner in my own home, I cannot go anywhere without their permission and I cannot even hang out with anybody. The only person my parents let me go anywhere with is my cousin, who my mom does not like. And I feel like my cousin doesn't want to hang out with me half the time because I'm not cool or understand certain teenage things. Just the other day I had tickets for a movie that didn't come out yet and my mom refused to drive me. I just want them to trust me and give me a little bit of freedom.

Im 17 soon 18 so I've been thinking about this a lot. As much as i love my family (mother and sister) i just think they harm me more than they do me good. Especially my mom. My mom has gone through a lot and lost a lot of people (abusive people but still they let her down) because of that she feels like she doesn't have a purpose besides her daughters, she put a lot of pressure on us especially me cause she has seen how much i actually achive in areas of my life. This has made her rely her happiness on me. She wants me to for example live with her for much longer than i want to, make and share money so we can live "better", the only way i could leave her is to get married which i don't want to. The reason her pressure is extremely hard on me is because we don't have the same values, she's a religious person while im not, at all. It feels like she almost knows too because she emotionally threatens me in a sense that she uses my feelings to stop me from doing something i want. Let's say i tell her i want to move out (which i've brought up a handful of times) she will then go on about hom much im hurting her by saying this, how i can do this to my mother she has given up so much for me etc With that said I find it hard to leave, i know i can do it in less than a year but i feel super guilty about it. She has gone through lots of abuse and me being one of the few things left that makes her happy (when i live according to her) makes me feel like im taking away her happiness Some of you were incredibly helpful, thank you very much! though its like i already knew what to do since what you said felt familiar, i just have to actually do it which is the scary part! someone answered that i just move out when im 18 cause she cant leglly stop me, thank you for answering but obviously thats not my problem? i know what i can do but its nt that easy cause like people have answered she is emotionoally abusive making me want to get away while feeling guilty about doing so
