My brother in law visits and starts inviting people to our house and is overall obnoxious and takes over. Once I said to everyone let's meet somewhere besides my studio apartment and he got angry at me and started yelling at me! Then the next day he showed up and started cooking breakfast for everyone in my kitchen! After I said NO My husband stopped me from calling security to have him escorted but he didn't say anything to him either. It's not his apartment to choose what to do or who comes over and he doesn't respect when I say NO. The bigger issue is with my husband he always says "what am I supposed to do?" Like he doesn't know how to handle it. I'm on the verge of screaming at this guy in front of everyone to name a few- what can I do?

Does anyone else deal with this? People say personality had genetic components but I don't think so, at least not in my case. Both my parents are very outgoing, friendly, extroverted, and have many friends. But I am completely the opposite of that in every way. I basically only have 1 friend who is an amazing friend that I've known for years, but my parents think it's outrageous that I only have 1 true friend. Of course I have other people/acquaintances that I talk at school, but they think it's "sad" that I only have one person that I go to when I wanna hang out with someone. They also think I spend too much time alone, but I am just a loner by nature, enjoy solitary activities, and I don't feel deprived of human interaction in any way, but they act like I should. They think I'm antisocial, but I actually do like talking to people, just in small doses and not all the time. It's who I am, since I was little I've been more shy/quiet and thrive on my alone time. Every spare moment I have, my parents are suggesting that I "go out with some friends" or "see if there's any parties" and it's exhausting. I hate feeling like I have to justify my personality to them. They've even say things like "how did these two loud people end up with such a quiet daughter??" And it annoys the hell out of me tbh. How do I get my extroverted parents to understand/leave me alone?? I am 18 years old btw

I am the only girl in my High School AP Physics class. My classmates are my friends and we like to gather at my home and jointly do on our homework. It is a very hard class with lots of homework. Some of the problems we have a hard time solving. One of my classmates said let's ask you mom Jill for help. He did and mom instantly came up with the answer. They did this several times and mom always came up with the answer. This was amazing to my classmates. One of them said to me "How is it possible that your mom is so beautiful and so smart? That does not compute". Is that a compliment for my mom or an insult to all women? YOUR OPINION PLEASE.

My sisters are 16 and 12 and don't mind being naked around each other or our mom. I find it odd, although IDK how common it is.

I'm a 39 year-old male who recently quit my job due to the impending doom of the Nuclear War we are about to face. I didn't have any income though, and was evicted from my apartment. My elderly parents were kind enough to let me move in, but blew up when they found out why I quit. I told them eventually we will all have to leave America because of Trump and his insane ideas and wrongdoings, but they balked and said I should have kept the job. Finally, my father told me I could stay for a year until I "figured it out." It's been 6 months, and they're bone sick of me. I still hover in my room because I am scared any day now, bombs will fly and we will all die. So you can imagine my parents annoyance when one lazy afternoon, I came into the kitchen not dressed- and rummaging through the fridge to find food. "Did you look for work today?" My mother asked. I said no. She rolled her eyes and the informed my father and me she was going out with some male friends she knew in college. My father objected to this, and I interfered. "You shouldn't go out tonight, stay in with me." "What are you afraid of Dad, that one of them might PHUCK better then you can?!" I blurted this out because I was annoyed with his immaturity and also grumpy. But apparently what I said started a fire underneath him, and he blew his top. "Excuse ME! I work my whole PHUCKING life, and how dare you tell me how to talk to my wife!" Even Mom looked upset with me. My parents now want me out. Was I wrong? OK so far, NO one is answering me. I am not a troll. I am dealing with difficult parents and a horrible President. If you can't answer, then don't say anything. But enough with the judging.

Ok so I don't feel like staying home today and I want to go out and spend some time with my mom what are some activities that we can do? Either at home or somewhere close and not too far. We don't want to spend a lot of money or anything. I kinda wanna go shopping with her but she's also kinda sick so she doesn't feel like doing anything extravagant today. Ok guys ideas please??

I am not sure how I should feel about what my 16 year old sister Ann is doing. I am her 20 year old brother. I really like her and I am VERY protective of her. She has developed into a very beautiful woman. She is mature far beyond her age. She knows how guys think probably from being around me and my brothers. When my buddies come over to my house to hang out, they just love it when she talks and jokes around with them. I also know how guys think and I have told them repeatedly she is not flirting with them. She is just an outgoing and fun loving person that is totally at ease with guys. She wants to be their buddy, not their girlfriend. Can guys my age accept her as a friend and buddy and not as a potential girlfriend. Please tell me what you think.

Two year ago I reported my brother after my son (9y/o at the time) told my that his uncle had been abusing him. I immediately took him to the hospital (who confirmed what he'd claimed) and filed a report with the police that day, acting out of rage and not really worried about the fall out. My brother was arrested and sentenced. That created a lot of drama within the family because a lot of them, especially my parents argue that we should have dealt with it from inside as a family. Anyway, 3 weeks ago my brother was released on probation so I filed for a restraining order. My family found out and stirred up the drama that we'd just been moving past. Since then my son has told me that my mother have been talking to him about his uncle and seem to be trying to convince him to rebuild a relationship. Then yesterday, my son told me that my mom brought my brother with her to pick him up from school. I only let her pick him up because want to maintain family ties but what she did was a huge breach of trust. Part of me wants to look the other way because they are family but I feel bad ignoring the history. I would love to rebuild our bond as a family but am not quite sure how to go about it.

My ex that cheated on me and lied about it the whole time we were dating text me on Valentines Day. His text read, "Happy Valentines Day, and I formally apologize for the b.s...that is all." Of course it's two days later and I haven't responded because I'm not sure how to respond to that. Should I respond or should I just leave it be? We have alot of mutual friends and I saw him over the weekend at a party and it was awkward because we were intentionally avoiding each other. I only stayed an hour because I was so uncomfortable with making sure I didn't look in his direction. How do I handle this situation?

when I got remarried my husband and I were both clear that we wanted a big family, i have a now 7 year old son (from a previous relationship) and 2 other kids. My son is completely ok with having his 2 siblings and loves them dearly, plays with them, helps me, everything. But we ve recently considered having 1 more child. So when I asked my son how he felt about it he said no way, how are WE going to handle 4 kids, I know this is mine and my husband s decision but the way my son said "we" makes me thing that he thinks he has to help me like it s partly his responsibility to help me raise my children and I don t want him to feel like that, he needs to be a child just like the rest of them

where can I put my mother's ashes in my house and how can I lay flowers for her in my house do I build like a shrine or sacred spot for her

I have a little sister who is going to turn 5 soon. I think she has ADHD because ever since she was born she was really hard to deal with. She would always cry, my dad would tell mom to shut her up and since my mom didn't want dad to beat her up she gave her everything she wanted cause that was the fastest way to make her stop crying. I always knew it was wrong because she would become very spoiled. She has become a brat, but I also feel bad for her because I know she's suffering from some kind of mental illness and we can't figure out what it is. Anyway, I try to discipline her by myself. For example I put her in timeout when she's behaving bad, but most of the time she starts screaming when I do that and then my parents yell at me for putting her in timeout and tell me to just let her go. I cannot even count how many times this has happened. Because of that she thinks that she can get anything by screaming. Her screaming is just getting worse and worse. Sometimes she doesn't even stop when she gets what she wants. I try to tell my mom how to discipline her right, but she just doesn't want to hear my opinion. She always thinks I'm wrong and gets really mad at me. I try to spend as much time as I can with my little sister, but everytime I'm with her she's trying to do something stupid to annoy me. I always stay calm, but she just doesn't stop, I put her in timeout and then you can already guess what happens. Basically she wins everytime. I don't even know what to do anymore.

I am a 17 (almost 18) year old male and I need some help on how to deal with some problems that have been going on in my relationship. For the past 4 months I have been having a sexual relationship with my older brother's (26), best friend (27) and my brother has no idea about it. Neither my brother or my family even know that I am gay, but they do know that my brother's best friend is open to being with anyone (pansexual?). The relationship was started by me, but who can blame me when you are gay and have no outlet for release. He said that if we kept the relationship sexual, with no strings attached that he wouldn't mind having sex with me whenever either of us needed it and I guess things just kind of went from there. Well, yesterday I told my parents I was too sick to go to school and they let me miss the day, so he came over and we had sex. Usually he comes around lunch time because no one is home and we could get a couple of hours together, so we didn't really think to go upstairs and kind of just...did it on the couch. I am so embarrassed, but my brother came home probably 20 minutes into our relations and saw us, and got pissed off. He kicked out his friend, made me go upstairs (we got dressed) and then left the house with his friend. That was yesterday. He sent me a text this morning saying he want to talk and I need advice on what to do to show to him that my relationship with his friend wasn't meant to hurt him and that it's nothing to worry worry about.

I just found out I'm pregnant! Hurray! But um...me and my boyfriend are only 19. (Though by the time the baby is born I'll be 20). He wants us to move in with family (i think it's so we have a support system or something....) but I think we should get our own place, because I love with my 83 year old grandma and he has three siblings and his parents, so adding me and a baby that seems like too many people. Which sounds like it'll be incredibly stressful for everyone else including us. Should we move in with family or get our own place? Oh and for the record, we didn't plan this baby, but I don't like the idea of abortion or adoption so we're taking responsibility. Also if you know any good names, feel free to suggest them. Boy or girl ^^;

my dad used to hit me when i was little but he doesn't anymore cuz he's trying to be a better person but he still scares the freaking life out of me. today he got pissed at me cuz i got scared of him and he was holding some kind of stick and i was scared as heck he'd stab me or beat me with it. it doesn't help that I'm a girl so i'm physically weaker than him. i can't stand being in the same house with him. every move i make has to be silent and i'm walking on eggshells all the time. even at times when he's yelling at me like a normal parent, i feel like he could kill me even though he probably wont (see? i just proved my point). what should I do and why am I still os scared

Her mom is overbearing, careless and controlling, won't let the girl make friends or hang out with her dad. She's emotionally neglected, and I've reported this to her school twice. Not sure what they did, but I continue to see that she is silenced and hopeless. This child chased after her parents for a year, trying to be close to them. I have many reasons to believe that this girl is at high-risk for suicide. She's spoken about it to schoolmates too. I'm afraid that she can't take more especially at such a hormonal vulnerable age.

My sister is 18, and in her first relationship, and they've been dating for a little under a year. I originally knew her boyfriend from my job before they started dating - I didn't know him very well as he was very reserved but I always got weird vibes from him. Fast forward a year, and they end up meeting at the college they are both attending. They hit it off immediately and started dating. He was fine to her initially - he seemed caring, supportive, and kind. But recently, he seems to be really controlling. It started with him whining and fighting with her anytime she was late to meet him, but it's escalated into him being angry with her whenever she isn't with him (especially if she's spending time with someone else), telling her she doesn't care about him, and that she wants to hurt him. She literally can't go anywhere without pulling her phone out and texting him, and if she doesn't respond fast enough he gets really upset. She's heavily distanced herself from me and the rest of the family, and practically never spends time with us anymore, and he still complains that she isn't "balancing her time well enough". Not even to mention that he has never made any attempt to get to know our family at any point in the relationship, even when my sister arranged for him and our family to meet, he was super distant, untalkative, and wasn't really making much effort to connect with my family, and in particular myself. Does this behavior seem controlling? Or am I being dramatic?

Bro in law works from 8-3 at his corner store then at 3 takes an hour break and then works until 7. My husband works 2 jobs and we hardly see him here at home unlike bro in law that is on the phone yapping as soon as he gets home. Him and my sis want to throw a graduation party for my nephew at our house and he hasn't done very great in HS and doesn't even know if he is going to community college cuz his dad is broke. My sis has already said that my mom coming from out of town will stay with us which is fine but we are afraid at the end they will try to pressure us into paying for stuff for this party and we don't have extra money lying around. I told her why she just doesn't just take everybody out for dinner instead of ruining my house since I have a baby and 2 other small kids. They always want everyone to feel sorry for them but bro in law is lazy and keeps saying that he doesn't know how to do other jobs and then complain about being broke. They live in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment that has mold and a possum was found in the home. Why can't they just use their money to send their son to college not try to show off in my home?

I have been rejected by my immediate family and they do not want to ever see my son who has already been rejected by his mother and her family due to her addiction issues. He has no one but me. My family rejects me because my son has Asperger's and they say he is an embarrassment. He is 12 years old and has been rejected by all his family but me. He is easy going and always cooperative and far more so then the average autistic child. He simply doesn't have good social skills. We tried to go to Christmas Eve of 2015 and were chased out by my father screaming not to bring that object (my son) around anymore. My mother threatened to call the police and my siblings have not stood up for me or my son and my sister has said my son is freaky to be around. My son was extremely sensitive to all this and has had a hard time at Christmas each year since though we manage to enjoy Christmas Day and week. It is hard though and hurts most at that time of the year. We have not seen any of my family since Christmas of 2015 other then me seeing them at a funeral one time and they would not speak to me other then to say "you better not have your son with you" when my mother saw me coming in. I did not bring him. How do I get over the grief and help my son who feels the hurt so much more. He actually found a letter my father wrote saying my son is an embarrassment to the family as I had put it in a box my son looked in.
