My mother was beating me with a belt when I was a child. If I did not understand something with my home work I got beaten badly. I was an A student as well. Time passed I have my own family and a child. Mom lives at my house. She still tries to act like I am a small child and she can hit me randomly or curse at me. For example, two weeks ago I decided that it is time for me to get in shape and I started regularly going to the gym. That night she yelled to my husband, will this ho* and c*nt go to the gym every night? We were both shocked. I am ashamed of her. Why would she do this? I am her daughter. I am really hurt. My husband says that she is not normal. She constantly calls me names and when I ask her to be respectful in my house she just yells and again calls me names. She doesn't help at all ith our household or her grand kid. She lives on our money doesn't pay a coin. Recently my husband reserved an expensive vacation for all of us, bought tickets and my mom declared that she won't go and we will lose the money. She said it with such pleasure. I really think she needs pills, there is so much hate in her

I'm a 13 year old girl and I'm dealing with hormones. These hormones cause me to be horny a lot, and sometimes when I'm horny I masturbate. I've been doing this for some time, until I was watching a video. Towards the end of the video, the topic of masturbation came up, and this girl said that a Catholic masturbating is taboo, and this made me horrified. I'm a Catholic, and I masturbate, so I thought this meant I was going to hell. So then I looked up "do Catholics go to hell if they masturbate" and every result that I clicked on and read through either said 'yes' or had answers that confused me, but they probably meant 'yes'. Most answers kept saying it's a mortal sin and that I can't repent from it. They also said that sex before marrige, homosexuality, and other topics related to sex/sexuality will also send you to hell. This horrified me even more because I'm bisexual and I had a girlfriend once and when I'm older I could end up having sex before marriage. Anyway, this made me cry because me pleasuring myself and my bisexuality are going to send me to hell when I die, and now I have to live with that for the rest of my life. But now I want an exact answer. Will I go to hell for masturbating and being bisexual? I love God and Jesus and everyone else up there. I used to go to church a lot but I don't really anymore, but that hasn't stopped my love for God. I don't use the Lord's name in vein. I don't pray a lot because I do tell God in my head that I love him. Thank you.

that blatantly interfering in what one does in the privacy of his/her room is as offensive as shoving your pda into his/her face?

Grandfather recently passed away. He said in front of other multiple family members he wanted to leave the house to another family member. Nothing was ever written out. Only evidence is that multiple people heard it. Can anything be done??

IS IT WHERE I THINK IT IS?????????

We were on holiday in a country far away and we decided to drop in on my dad's cousin. He's got a son and we hung out a bit and I think he really liked me, I liked him too but since I was leaving the next day and never coming back I said I don't have a Facebook or an instagram when he asked me. He looked disappointed and we were both sad and miserable when I left but I just don't see the point in being friends on social media when we're never gonna be able to be together. My dad has his whatapp so I can easily get his number and join but I feel silly. Should I do it and add him? It's been a while (about 6 months) but our parents still talk on whatsapp sometimes Just to clarify yes we did both want to date not just be friends.

My sisters fiancé is verbally abusive to me and my sister with downs syndrome. He tries to play the dad role and has touched my behind b4. I leave for college in two months, but I don't feel safe with my mom and sister home alone with him. My eldest sister is engaged to him and our middle sister has downs. My mom also has a bad case of MS and glaucoma. I'm only 17 and scared. what should I do?

Me and my mom were planning on going on a trip to Seoul, Korea in November for one week. I'm still under 18 so I can t travel abroad without my parents, but I agreed to saving every last dime for the trip because it was my idea (and dream) to go there. The total would be nearly $3,000 for everything. Took me nine months to save that much. So i should choose who i bring right? I have been to Mexico with her and around the country with her and it is not fun. She makes a trip super stressful and is always either worried about something or I'm always doing something wrong. So we can never just walk around and explore without her freaking out. Not to mention she complains, a lot. And I really don t want this to be how my one trip to Korea would be. I've been hyping it up a lot because I was so excited so I m guessing she would be also. But I want to travel with my dad now, which wasn't a choice at first because of some family issues. But things are better than they've ever been now. He's really chill and is open to just open everything. I don t have as much of a relationship with my dad but were can still talk for hours. and i have brought this idea of going with him instead up before to my mom. So I was going to use the excuse that I wanted to go on this trip with him because I want to have a better relationship with him and that the experience would help. Is this a good idea? I m worried my mom will probably hate me if I even bring this up. Any other ideas on how to tell her?

I'm confused because sometimes my mom acts of if I'm out of the house then things will be better for them. She sometimes says my room is messy or gets mad when I leave a few dishes in my room. I'm 21 year old male and I'll be 22 in about 3 months. i told my mom that I might move out a little after my 22nd birthday. She got kind of angry and said oh so you leaving your old mother alone? I told her that she will still have my dad here with her. She started saying how my brother (27) and I don't love her and we will just leave and forget about them. She's says my brother already moved out and abandoned them and don't care about our parents. Well that's not exactly true. my older brother visits like twice a month and I'll defintely visit my dad since he's disabled and have trouble using his right arm. I might not move out right then but it's a thought because some girl that I talk to said she needed a roommate and I was thinking of moving in with her. I know my parents, mainly my old dad that's going on 60 need me but I'll still visit them maybe twice a week on my off days. I honestly do not have a problem living here. I never get into with my dad, my mom and I are ok when she's not being crazy lol and I'm mostly in my room or at work so I feel relax most days. Im not in a rush. I just feel guilty like I'm abandoning, I didn't think they she really felt that way and needed me. I guess what I'm asking if I would be wrong if I happened to move out around 3 months?

When I was little, the supervision aid used to question me and my same-aged sister before we left school with our dad. None of us are the same race. This teacher was supposed to keep all the children safe on school grounds. When she saw two young girls leaving with a man who is obviously unrelated to them, she'd question if we had permission. She assumed that it wasn't my father. It was awkward explaining that we are both adopted, don't have biological parents. To this day, I still encounter situations where it would make more sense to say I'm adopted.

I'm school I haven't checked my grades in a while and I didn't even realize that I had a 50 in geometry. No offense but your geometry teacher absolutely sucks at teaching and I can never understand **** in that class, even if I go to tutorials. Anyways, if my grade was failing why didn't the teacher ever tell me? That makes no sense. My mom expects me to get my grades up by the end of the month and she also wants me to get a job AND pay rent for the house we live in? I'm sorry but how the **** am I supposed to get my grades up with so much extra **** that she expects me to do, oh and chores. I'm still a teenager, I haven't hit that stage in my life yet and I still want to have fun, I wanted to get a job anyway when I turn 16 so I can save up, but now I can't fuckig do that because of my stupid mother. I didn't say a word while she yelled at me, If I don't say anything she yells louder, but if I say something then she says I have an attitude?? Wtf.. for 15 years living with my mom I've never spoke my opinion because if I do she says "shut up" or stop being a smart ***... honestly I might just run away from home and live with a friend for a while until she can calm down..

I was abused emotionally as a kid.

Husband is way too angry and wife is said to be demanding and quick to leave. Both married too young cause she was pregnant.

My cousin is 12 and a bisexual girl living with her very undependable mother and her rich fiancé. She has been moving from boyfriend to boyfriend with her mom her whole life and only comes to visit my family on holidays. They are practically homeless without her mom's boyfriends. Most of the boyfriends treat my cousin badly. Her mom basically ignores her when they are with her boyfriend. She can't tell her mom about her sexuality because they are not accepting. She hates school, has to change schools often because her mom moves around a lot, and gets bullied. She has depression and anxiety like me. I am an almost 16 pansexual girl and I'm completely accepting of her and love her no matter what. I was the first person in our family she came out to and she was the first person I came out because we are the only two people we can trust to accept us. She calls me crying sometimes and I just sit listen and be there her for her since no one else will and she does the same for me. She has tried to kill herself twice and her mom found out and didn't do anything but start her in therapy. I was the one she called first. She has called me multiple times crying her eyes out and saying she wishes she could runaway or move in with me and my family. I told her that I would adopt her and we could move away when I turn 18 or 19 if I could. She's 4 years younger than me. I'm willing to care for her, get her to school/doctors appointments/other events as needed, and pay for anything she needs.

My mom wants to find a place for my soon to be 15 year old brother. He keeps swearing at me, doesn t respect me as a older sister, he even hits me. My mom called the cops on him 2 times but all they do is give warning about taking him to juvenile hall. Today, he hit my 10 year old brother on the stomach. And i snitched him out (yes, i snitch on him bc I m afraid of him cause he WOULD hit me) My mom took away his phone but he was persistent about getting it back to text his friends who are really bad influences. My brother literally got on top of my mom (even raised his hand on her) to get his lhone back until my mom smashed it on the wall. Now he s pissed amd giving us all glares. If there are good places where my mom can put him (without his consenting) please tell me. (We once tried calling the military but they said that my brother needs to consent)

My brother is a grown man. He is 22 years old and still disrespects my mom, although he never disrespects my dad. He doesn't work, do chores, or pay for anything around our home. Our aunt bought him a car last summer, and she gives him money for gas. All he does is use his computer 24/7 and talk to his friends on there. If my mom asks him to do one simple task around our home, he sighs and throws a fit like a child. He's also a slob and still acts like a teenager. My dad refuses to discipline him because he has to support us soon when he finishes college, and he's worried that my brother won't support us if my dad does anything to get on his bad side. If someone tells him to stop how he's acting he starts playing the victim and calls us names or tells us to shut up. My brother and I don't get along too well, due to how he acts and our large age gap. I don't hate him, but I just don't know what to do and I'm tired of seeing him act like this constantly.

I'm not happy living with my father and I left one day and went to my moms. He's my primary guardian but they have joint custody. He tried to make me go home but I called the cops and he cop told me since I'm 16 I can move in with my mom. Recently he threatened to call the law and have them make me come back. I asked a couple more cops and they all told me I could choose to live with my mom because of my age but one cop said I'd be made do go back home if my dad has sole custody. Like I said before it's joint. I'm just confused and stressed. Am I allowed to live with my mom?

I am a 15 year old girl and I got into a physical fight with my 59 year old dad. We were arguing and I yelled at him and he shoved me into to a wall he then left the room and because I was upset I then started to yell at my sister to get out of the shower and we started arguing. My dad then comes into the room and starts threatening me. He raised his hand at me and was about to hit me and I kicked him we then started to kick/punch each other multiple times. I have bruises all over my body on my legs, my neck and I have a black eye. I have been covering them with makeup but I do not know what to do. Help me please I need advice.

I have an older sister and a little brother so I'm their second daughter. This is just the old stereotype, and isn't my experience. In fact, there were times when I thought my parents paid a little too much attention as a child! They always kept open communication, always knew where we were going out, and I could never get away with opening a chat room account without their permission. Overall, I had a great childhood... my parents didn't seem to bond or care for me less than the others. It's just my one childhood though, but I don't know if there are more middle children who have negative thoughts.

wouldn't she be embarassed if her own father talking about female related things?

(sex involving other couples)..no I am not a troll, I am genuinely upset about this.

He helps me with half of all the bills and pays for half of child expenses, we have a 15 month old daughter. Recently, I decided that I want to pursue a nursing degree so I registered for some community college courses(part time school only since I work a full time job). My partner promised me he would help me with our daughter so I could concentrate on my studies, but all he does is take naps or make phone calls to friends or family. I also do all the chores around the house because hes been acting lazy. I told him he needed to help me like he promised and he got mad and said he would save a lot more money if we seperated and me and his daughter move in with my mother instead. I feel like he means that we are a burden to him and we need to go away from his life, It hurts a lot to think that hes acting so selfish. Is he being selfish?? How do I handle this?

I'm 21 and he's 27 I don't live with him anymore. It's jyst me and my parents and he lives somewhere else. We don't argue a lot or anything but I feel sometimes he puts me down. He came over the other day at like 1an and it caught me off guard. I was watching Pokémon and he says "really? Pokémon? When are you going to grow up" ? he wears glasses so I said shut up 4 eyes. His response was "oh your jokes are just about as mature as you" so I finally got angry and said if you got a problem then say it. He laughed and started to talk to our mother. I don't know how to deal with him. I have a whole job. Why can't I watch Pokémon sometimes lol? Should I just smack the glasses off his face next tine?

My wife and I are child free by choice. No kids now or ever. The only people that don't care are single or do not want kids of their own. Parents are the opposite. They get offended or they give me a long speech about how I'm missing out on enjoying a gift from God that will change my life. Is it really that hard to understand that some people just don't want kids?

dont know how much longer i can bear this torment from my family who literally fight like cats and dogs its a very violent house and i cant function properly, i feel like my only option is to move out but i would need a full time job for that

I'm a 10th grade girl with no idea who this kid really is. At first she just impersonated or stalked people online. The little girl showed up at my high school one day. She made it clear that she wanted to see some people she saw online, but no one agreed to it. We told a teacher, and she was asked to leave school grounds after he realized that it was an unwanted visitation. I know she's only 11, but this is pretty creepy and disturbing. The same person told everyone that she's "suicidal" and a few of them fell for it. She made up a believable story that sounds like typical pre-teen bullying. My friend even asked for the names of the "bullies" and contacted her middle school. They replied and said there are no kids by those names, and the girl confirmed that she lied to us.

I know that I should have already remembered my whole family's birthdays, but I just can't. I remember my friends' birthdays and my mom's only. In my family, we do not celebrate birthdays, so in my situation, is it "acceptable"? When I tell people I don't remember my dad's or siblings' (older) birthdays, I feel mean or rude. The same goes for the rest of my family except my mom and older sisters who know mine because I have the same birthday as my late grandpa.

My parents or even my entire family didn't really help me when I spilled water on the table near my electronics (They were all doing something,my sisters were on their phones watching YouTube). They didn't even offer if I needed help or even okay. They just ignored it? Are all families like this or are they actually a bit different?

I was telling my grandparents that my dad is having another kid with a woman he works with. He's 55 and she's 28. Grandma: Jerry's having another kid. Grandpa: Seriously? Didn't he just have one last year? Me: Yes. Different woman this time. Grandpa: Jeez, doesn't he know what a condom is? Grandma: I guess not. Me: All I know about her is that she's 28, her name is Rita, she works with him. Grandpa: He can't resist the young puss I guess! Grandma: He's too old to be fooling around with these young girls. He just got done having a kidney stone plus the diabetes. Me: Yeah I dont know. Grandma: Someone needs to show him how to put a condom on a banana!

My mom was 39 when I was born. My dad was 42. I turned out fine, aside from being diagnosed with epilepsy at age 4. No birth defects or whatever you think occurs if you're 40 years old or older. Now I'm 17, my mom is 56, my dad is 59 (parents ages change I THINK two weeks from now). And no thanks to my half sister, I'm now an uncle. She's 32, and five years ago, gave birth to her first born) Five years ago, I became an uncle. I think that my mom was on the older end when I was born, and my half sister, if you exclude victims of rape, is on the younger end. Am I even somewhat correct?

I realize I should probably see a therapist about my mother's behavior towards me, but want to know if others have experienced this. I am starting with the first "strange" thing my mother did towards me, but again can not fit everything. Age 9 I asked my mom if I could swim at the neighbor's house. She said yes & even fixed the small tear in my bathing suit before I left. Later, to my surprise, my dad showed up telling me to come home because my mom had told me no. Confused, I followed him home. I argued that she said yes, but was told to go to my room for the rest of the evening. I was very confused to why she lied to get me in "trouble" and to this day do not understand why she did this. Age 13 my family would write down what we wanted from the store on one list and mom & dad would take turns going to the store. I started noticing that when my mom would go to the store, she would not get anything I would write down. Ever. My dad noticed they got into an argument about it & he would go to the store from that point on since she seemed to refuse to get what I wanted. Age 20 I came home from college on her birthday weekend but was not allowed to go with my family to her "birthday day" cause she did not want my dad spending money on me on her birthday & gave me back the gift I got her bc she did not like it. (silver amethyst necklace) Last year she said she would plan and pay for my baby shower then a month before the shower said she was not doing it and gave no reason why. ??

I have to leave shortly to go pick up my son at his friends house. I am at home now in my bare feet and since it is warm out and I am not going in anyplace and coming right back home I am just going to drive in my bare feet and leave my shoes at home.
