All her female peers either only have brothers or is an only child (apparently). This is 3rd grade I'm talking about, and it's such an odd/silly reason. But there's constant slurs related to sexuality and excluding her.

Today, I had no school because of weather. Since it's after spring break, I'm happy to get another day off. Of course, my mom told me I can't play on my Xbox since my friends are at school, and I'm home since transportation was a problem. She told me to get my stuff organized and ready for tomorrow. So I did. I cleaned all my other clothes including uniform, and tidy upend my book bag and binders. After that, I asked her if I can go on the Xbox. Since it's now the time my friends should be home, it'd seem fair to play now. She said no. She also said she sees me itching to play. She thinks I'm addicted! We had a talk yesterday about her thinking I'm wasting time playing, not having fun. I know she's probably smarter and wiser, BUT COME ON! It's not like I avoid all my school work playing video games! I get straight A's, I get high honors, I do my homework EVERY TIME! It's not fair! My friends are probably having fun, while I'm here doing nothing. I know I can do other things. Shoot, I'm on my laptop! But like I said, my friends are there playing games ON THE XBOX. Not the laptop! Please give me advice!

When I was younger they, my uncle especially, made kind of racist jokes. A lot of them were just stereotypes. I recentally introduced him to them and they just stared at him. My uncle had a confused look on his face and my grandpa had a disgusted one. My dad wasnt that happy about it either. But he accepted it more. My grandpa has done so much for and and my uncle too. They continued the jokes when he left and ask why I could get me a strong black man that can take care of me. I'm pretty sure I could, I just stumbled upon a strong white man that can take care of me first, and to be honest I don't care what his race is. One of my uncles basically disowned me, and two of my other uncles are just disgusted. But I didn't talk to them much anyway so I don't really care that they are mad. My mom, one of my aunts, and my grandma on my dads side are just fine with it. I'm not sure about my moms mom because I haven't introduced him to her yet. I really don't know what to do and I need something from somewhere!

I just had a baby on the 6th and a few days ago my baby's father showed up high and admitting to using meth. I cut contact with him by blocking his number but for some reason I keep getting a notification that I missed his call. I don't feel safe to being in my house so I'm constantly leaving with family and staying out with the baby for long periods of time, constantly locking doors and making sure he's not outside. Everyone says that I'll be fine but I really don't want his hands on my baby.

Everytime we argue about something or she doesn't like something I do, she tells EVERYONE about it as if she needs validation that what I did was wrong. She literally calls up her friends and my dad just to gossip about me. But, when I do the same to her, she beats me and tells me that its not in my place to do that to her because it isn't "fair." Why can't she just have a normal conversation with me instead of making me feel like I'm not allowed to speak to others about how I feel? It's weird how my dad ALWAYS believes her without any proof, but when I talk to him, he just ignores me and says "well I gotta see it to believe it..." It's so FRUSTRATING. No wonder she loses so many friends, she feels that if they're not exactly like her, she's not accepting of them. She's especially bipolar too, one day she's laughing and joking with my boyfriend and the next day she's mad because he offered to help her wash the dishes! What?! Who gets mad at that? She's been acting this way with me ever since I was 12 and I'm now 17 almost 18. What the hell do I do? I don't know how to avoid this.

It seems overlooked because he's the youngest. His speech sounds like a 4 or 5 year old. He jumps everywhere, has trouble listening and an adult MUST be with him when crossing the streets. The little boy has problems socializing sometimes. He talks "too much" and is bothersome or "annoying" towards other people. Adults still need to remind him to use the bathroom so he doesn't get into accidents. He can't understand simple concepts of doing a chore or finishing homework because he can't focus. I find it... unusual behaviour. Most 10 year olds know when to use the bathroom and obey traffic rules.

My sister whose 2 years older than me, both have red hair, that comes from my grandmother (who dyed her hair so often, my dad had to ask my grandpa where the red hair came from) our other sisters have Brown hair, and 1 blonde. our skin tone is similar but She tans and i can only get a slight haze. Her face is rounder than mine (mine is more oval) she has forehead bangs, i don't. She braids her hair everynight so her hair is shoulder length and curly. Mine is slightly longer, has layers, some natural curls, i usually dry them straight tho. her hair is darker red, mine is lighter, and looks bronze in the sun. She has a strong, sure, thin frame. Due to my anxiety and depression, i hold my self like i'm scrawny, though i'm not, but thin. I'm 14, she's 16. One of her good friends once walked up to me and said "Hey!" and looked confused for a moment as i said "Oh Hi :)" She responded with "wait... wait you aren't.. Oh.." My face went slack and i just told her "yeah it happens". We look so different yet because we both have natural red hair, people think we're the same person! My friend, he used to have a major crush on me, now calls me "other Anna" (her name). Yeah, it hurts. We both flock towards punk rock styles and band shirts,and they think that it was "Her thing" Just cause they knew her before me. It drives me crazy. Sometimes I feel like i cant enjoy what i enjoy because she enjoyed it first.

I found out that less than two percent of teen moms finish college by the time they are thirty, but I bet those are the teens whose parents paid everything for them and raised their child for them. I, unfortunately, am not so lucky. I have to pay for most of everything on my own, including babysitting and have to raise my child on my own. I still don t know if I can finish college with a baby.

I am Canadian, and have never been to Texas, but my friend calls his father "Daddy". It seems really childish to me, but I'm open to different cultures doing things differently. I just want to know if this is normal, or if my friend has mental problems.

Fighting for Custody for my child! As a father it's hard to obtain custody. I've been trying for couple years now, I can't afford a lawyer. I want her to stay with me for at least a couple days out the week. I have my own place, she has her own room, bed and clothes, I decorate it really nice and comfortable for her. The point is, because I am a man, they don't seem to care. I have a stable job, home and I keep up with my child support payments. My daughter is currently in her grandmother's care. I only get her once a week for a couple hours. And her mother is not involved at all. Help!

Certain members in my family are always gossiping and saying bad things about me. And the various times that I've confronted them and tried to get them to stop it, they've denied ever saying anything at all. And my parents have always taken these peoples side and told me that I'm just "hearing things". It got to the point I actually thought I was mentally unstable and asked a friend to help and he told me that he could confirm that I wasn't crazy because he heard these people saying the exact same things I'd heard them say when I was not in the room and they weren't aware that he was. The most recent time I confronted a cousin about saying some foul things about me and he denied it and told my parents he'd said something else completely unrelated and my parents took "his side" instead of mine AGAIN. Even when I had my friend with me to back me up they STILL said we both must have "misheard" what was said. I know that I'm not crazy and I'm not hearing things. Two people cant be hearing the same things in their heads. And I attribute this trash talk to the fact that I'm the only one in the family so far that has a job and it's been that way for a few years now. But how can I make my family LISTEN to me and take me seriously and actually believe the things I'm telling them? I'm tired of being seen as a fruit-loop.

I'm not a violent person. When I was young my brother molested me(reported he is serving jail time). When I told my parents my dad was the only one that supported me. Dad didn't want anything to do with my brother after I told him and I feel safe around him. My mom and grandma took it as nothing and they want me to write to him in jail and write a letter to parole saying he is a good person. I hate that they are doing this to me why cant they understand what he did was wrong? My grandma is old and if I refuse and call her out on it I'm afraid she will have a heart attack because of her condition. I love my grandma she was there for me when my mom wasn't she used to make me food and always received me with joy at her house and I see she is there for my brother the same way. She has told me if I don't write the letter she will disown me as a family member. I wrote a letter cause I want her in my life but with a lot of anger and sadness. She is choosing my brother to believe and this hurts me so bad. I have so much anger towards my brother and grandma and I don't want to feel anger towards my grandma I love her. I cant argue with her she has a heart condition. so what do I do with this anger? I don't think she deserves the anger I'm feeling towards her? Please help??

She's 21 and got married after a year of dating and never living together. We are pretty close.. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. She moved away to live near his family in the middle of nowhere. So i've heard she is extremely depressed now and having all kinds of physical symptoms associated to depression and anxiety. I do not think she is happy in her marriage and I think she made a mistake. They've only been married for 6 months. Is it wrong for me to intervene and talk to her? Or stay out of it, as it is her life... Both her family and his families are very religious

So my family isn't regular. I'm 14 going on 15 in the summer and I got several siblings I live with. My big brother is almost 20 then it's my little brother that's 11 and my sister is 4. Well my mom is 40 and pregnant so she's always angry and mostly her and my older brother argue and fight and cuss at each other. My mom yells at my little sister to shut up when she's crying or something and she'll tell me or my younger to feed her. I love my baby sister but I shouldn't have to do this. There is little food here so my little sister and brother are usually hungry and I try to give them a little food when I can. Im close to my little brother and he agrees but My big brother is always angry and just smokes weed or out at night doing something. Don't get me wrong I tried weed before but it's not that great. So my big brother doesn't work he got fired and he likes to take me and mylittle brother on rides saying we will leave our mom but I don't think he can rave care of us with no job or anything. I don't know about my family. I just need some help I live my mom and siblings but not her boyfriend too much since he's s dead beat. I'm just ready to run away but got no where to go?

Ok so I'm 19, and with the job I have I can't exactly move out I don't make that much, so I live with my family, I am very very allergic to dogs(like throat closing up being around dogs allergic) and my dad if a asshole, and started screaming about nothing my younger sister was terrified cuz it was only me and her home alone with him, at first it was just yelling then I stood up for myself and he grabbed me by the hair and started like jerking me around pulling out ALOT of hair, ( can't do anything about that cuz I have no proof of it and I made my sister stay upstairs so he didn't hurt her) and is there anything I can do about that, my mom can't get him to leave with out him causing a lot of trouble and a lot of money (he knows not good people) and He is a big dude and I am small getting physical is not good with me, he also threatens the life of my cat, and I guess me In a way, he said by the end of next week he is going to get 2 dogs now remember the allergy I mentioned before, and HE SAID he was only doing it to **** with me and he wants me to drop dead. My mom doesn't know what to do we don't have much money and we don't have proof of abuse or assault. If there is anything I we can do please I need to know I can't even think of living here anymore but I can't leave,please

I will be 25 soon. I live with my mom and dad. I help pay all the bills and help around the house. I am also a female too. It says to ask to come in my room before walk in. There is no way he cannot see it. Well he keeps coming in my room a lot. It is quite annoying. Because i was playing video games for a little bit and listening to music and i kept having to pause it. I live with my mom and dad because of my mental disabilities. He won't respect my privacy. Like if he wants to borrow something that I bought myself he walks in my room no matter what time it is and takes it without asking. Like one of my movies. I don't like that because his player scratches it up. When he is in a bad mood i will stay in my room and ignore and after a while he will bang on my door and walk in or sometimes just walk in on me and yells at me. He scars me a lot. I have mild autism and developly delayed. I feel he doesn't respect my privacy. If he wants something he will just take it out of my room and even when i am gone. Makes me mad. He won't stop. If I mentioned getting a lock for my room he blows up at me. Mmy mom is my guardian and she takes care of my money. I want to do live broadcast but he keeps bothering me all the time. I can't tell him because he will blow up at me. He will also come in my room when i am asleep at odd times at night and bring something in my room and it wakes me up.

My dad has been unemployed going on 3 years with no source of income except for my uncle who provides the bear minimum. My dad go laid off and had unemployment and dislocated worker money for six months but it's ran out obviously. He claims he's doing work for my uncle, but it's not a steady source of income. I'm a teenage girl who needs a dad with steady cash flow. I finally talked to him about how he needs a job, after being bottled up for years and he made excuses and made everything I said into an excuse. He refuses to look and I don't know what to do. He won't listen to me and I really have been depressed because of it. He needs to provide for me. I haven't seen him in 3+ months because he can't get a car and stuff. E used to be sick a good dad, he doesn't do drugs or alchohol, and he's not lazy, he just won't get a job. It really hurts me and I don't know how to get him to get a job. Please help!

My youngest brother died 2 years ago at 28 due OD, surrounded by other addicts who were wither too high to notice or afraid of going to jail for drug use. Since he died under suspicious circumstances (It wasn't immediately clear he'd OD'd) they took his laptop and some other possessions into custody, but couldn't get into his laptop. His death was clear of foul play fairly quickly but since they never secured his computer, they couldn't hand it over. The finally did and we found multiple troll accounts of Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and other social media sites where he spewed racist, homophobic, trans phobic, sexist, and Islamophobic hate. Mostly he would make big rants and then agree with his own rants through other accounts. My whole family is shocked, we were never raised religious, one of my brothers is gay, and two of my sisters are married to men of color, (Black and Cuban). I adopted a little girl from Asia with my husband and my brother seemed to love her, but screamed deport or encamp the oriental aliens all over twitter. I'm wondering if he had some undiagnosed disease or if I never even knew him at all. How do I process this?

My little sister is only 14 and she is not suitable to be part of society. We come from a low income family with a single mother working 12 hour shifts every day just to pay rent and put food on the table, yet my sister acts so entitled. She throws tantrums over $200 shoes and clothes but can't even stop peeing anywhere but the toilet. We've had to throw away numerous amounts of furniture because she won't stop peeing on them, they're not even accidents anymore. She once peed on a pile of my moms clothes because she wouldn't buy her 65 dollar sweat pants that she'll just stain with her monthly cycle. After awhile she'll blow up and physically assault my mom and I'm always the one having to clean up the mess. I have threatened to call the cops on her many tines but then my abuela will stop me and say it's just a phase and I'm being over dramatic. There's so much more that I cant even put into words at the moment but I am currently a junior in high school and I'm even thinking i might have to put off college to stay home and help out my mom. What is the proper way to deal with a child as herself that won't get me and my other sister taken away from my mom?

She is good with giving me material items/gifts . She is good with providing me transportation and giving me a few dollars if I am short on rent or expenses and what not. However : In several occasions , I have been walking in front of her and have turned around to catch her staring or looking at me as if I am a filthy gross insect that needed to be crushed. Recently in a phone conversation , she told me that she "Does not like the fact that I am homosexual" I feel like saying to my mom : "YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD KIDS!" because that is how I truly feel , if she does not love or accept me for who I am.

My family is scattered. Nobody cares about family events or gatherings. Brother hate each other. My sister only talksvto my mom. My dad is dead. I am 53 and totally alone in this world. Can anyone here relate? I want to know your story.

I foolishly married at 21 and relocated to Wisconsin, where some of my family live. We ended up get an anullment because he impregnated my younger sister prior to the marriage and I didn't know. I also found out that my family was hiding things from me and lying to me. I have always lived for other people whether it's my siblings, him, or any other person in my family who's burdens I carry. I have distanced myself from him and my family to find myself. In doing so I care to the conclusion the conclusion that I will be moving back to my hometown of Chicago. I'm not sure how to rebuild myself. I'm depressed and have lost interest in things that use to be important to me like school (in my master's program) , work, even friends. All I do is cry and want to be left alone. I want to move away but I don't know where to start or what to do with my life

On Thursday I had my gallbladder removed, this was exactly 8 weeks after I had an emergency appendectomy on February 15th. Since I've come home from the hospital my parents seem to be weird, they're around as much as possible which is expected, but they just seem different. Is it possible that my two surgeries are mentally distressing them maybe worse than me and they're trying to hide it for me protection? I'm the oldest of 3 kids with my siblings being 6 and 9 years old. What Can I do to help my parents?

My only older sibling was very smart in high school and yet was always into it with our mother. He would scream and throw things an elderly family member who had mental issues (his grandmother). He moved out in his teens after being a disaster for our mother. He would always say she didn't trust him, but he was usually lying. I knew that he was sleeping with girls in his teens. Some nights he wouldn't come home and would go stay with a friend or at a shady college where he barely knew anybody and wasn't even attending there anymore (he flunked out). In high school, he was being controlled by a girl in his class who led him along by a string, threatening to not date him anymore and who only wanted him to talk to his mother if she was on the phone with him. I saw in some of his old notebooks where they wrote notes back and forth in class and he talked about killing himself if she wouldn't date him/love him. He moved on, got married to another lady and things seemed okay. That lady's father died when she was young. Her mother lives in the same state, but she has nothing to do with her. She was raised by her rich aunt/uncle, so she calls them mom/dad. Her cousins she calls her brother/sister. They did everything for her. She's pushing 40 and has had like one job in her life. She was married before. She got divorced and the full-time custody of the kid was given to her ex because she didn't even have "a" job. I can only assume that she had him in debt and he was miserable. My brother had a son with her. He's 7 now. We used to visit a lot up until he was 4 or 5. My brother always let her family hang around, but we were rarely invited. They always spent the night or weekend, but he was 4 before my brother was okay with that. He only invited us when him or his wife needed a favor/errand or to take a trip and someone to watch the kid. He became really rude and disrespectful a few years ago. Nasty text messages, etc. Myself and our mother have gotten collection calls. He's an Air Traffic Controller. He's making good money, but always seemed stress. His wife sits around whining about a leg injury from her teen years, won't work a job and just sits at home. She's so sorry that she wouldn't pick their kid up from school a mile away. She had him ride the school bus home. They seem to always be barely making it on over $100K per year. She has turned him against his family. He doesn't seem himself anymore. She hates us and he claims her family 'accepted' him. He has pretty much cut contact, but of course she wants to see her grandson. He seems to be having some serious issues. His wife's EX hangs around his house all of the time. He says he agreed with his wife to "not fight about ex's". I was there many times when her ex came over. She changed into skimpy clothes and sat in the ex's face for hours laughing and cutting up like she was married to him. My brother said nothing and was running around getting food. Would you just say, "Sc2ew this and I won't see my nephew or brother anymore" or would you do something? I have written a long letter to my brother (8 pages) discussing the things he sent in a long text to our mother. Half of them aren't even true. He took the side of an uncle who is a criminal/con man of the family, for instance. My brother and I visited that uncle in jail, so he knows what he was like. I don't know what to say about him anymore, he has gotten really crazy. My brother says that our family "never had it's act together" (we lost our father to suicide when we were pre-teens), but his wife's family...yikes. It is way worse. It really isn't even a comparison thing, however. She just doesn't want us around there. He claims that his wife always spoke to us, but she was always a recluse and ran into the back room. He boasts of this job, but his mother and brother gave him money while he was training for it. He claims she "didn't want him to get the job". So lots of nonsense. Should I send the letter or no? Would you send it? He acts like we aren't a family, but he was always reclusive. He only called his mother when he got into problems (roommates moved out and left him with no power, his truck got repo'd, he needed money, got fired from a job, etc.). The only time he called her was when he needed money or help. He hasn't done squat for his mother in 20 years.

When he keeps me away from family events on my Mom's side (doesn't tell me the family has invited us) I get triggered with the shame of not joining in as my Mom did this when I was a kid and it made me feel 2nd rate. I am referring to things like Christmas Eve dinner or baptisms where the invite is for the whole family. He doesn't get along well with them since my Mom's suicide so he leaves me in the dark. They invite him for him to tell us grown children with the exception of one aunt who contacts me directly. My mother didn't get along with her family when I was a kid cause her father was an alcoholic so she often withheld us from family holidays due to a fear she had to protect us from his drinking. Here my Dad is just being lazy, there is no drinking anymore as the grandfather died back in 1998 when I was twelve.

It is like she is digging for dirt on him. I don't like it. I am scared to stand up to her or then other family members might turn on me as she will have it out for me.

okay so I am 14 years old. on Thursday I came home with jordans. I got them because I won a bet in a groupchat and my birthday passed. I put in $40 and about 3 others put in $20! When my mother caught me with these shoes I immediately lied to her because that's what I do when ik my mother wont approve ( she doesn't like when people give me expensive things) so she called the boy yhat dropped it off to me and told him that I don't want it and that he should collect it. HE HAS YET TO COME. now this boy lacks alooottttttt of commom sense. he thinks not coming to take the gift is helping anyones case!? MY MOTHER IS CRAZYY! she will find where he lives and drop it off. anyways these past 4 days I haven't had my phone and my mother is going through all my text messages. shes very upset with me rn (nothing too serious) but now because this boy has yet to come collect these shoes shes been searching up his name and number! the found someone that was like 50 with the same name. ik I did some dumb **** before but WTH !! I mean I'm laughing rn because they cant be serious! I just wanna know how to dig myself out this hole! ive come clean to my parents but theyre looking for a sad truth for some reason. first of all there are 20 year olds that hit on me and I'm disgusted WHY WOULD I ACCEPT ANYTHING LIKE THIS FROM A 50 YEAR OLD!??? smh this is ridiculous

First of all my sister's a ***** or I prob wouldn't mind so much. She doesn't respect my car or belongings. Throws her stuff around and sometimes leaves a mess. I tell her to clean it up but she doesnt care, mom doesnt discipline her so why would she listen...?? Anytime I go pick her up she texts me 20 times saying "hurry up", but when I get there early I ask when shes coming out and she says "calm ur ****".... Sister's 16 and almost 17, but she "doesnt feel like" getting her liscense and mom's not gonna make her get one like she did me, so now I get to ******* pamper her since mom doesn't feel like driving her...... I paid for my car with my job, I got a job at 15/16 and sister doesn't even have one bc "she doesnt feel like it" but mom doesn't care.... I would just move out by now but I quit job to go to school full time and hopefully graduate so I don't have money to move out... Mom wants to go on "drives" w her bf all the time so apparently I'm the mom now because "she doesnt feel like being a mom anymore"???

I just got discharged from a foster placement which I was living in for 8 months due to my parents being unfit. The charges were that my mom was physically abusive, and my dad was neglent. I got discharged out of there about 3 days ago. A lady from a branch off of cps said she will be regularly visiting with us up until I am 18. (I am 17). My dad is not the type to do drugs especially by sniffing them. I believe the white powder is crushed up caffeine pills which is completely legal, but then there's a rolled up lottery ticket paper with the white powder on one end all crusted up so I know I'm not exaggerating. The caffeine pills are OTC So is it even illegal to snort them? Like what is going to happen if the cps worker finds the box? Because again I don't even know if snorting otc pills is illegal. Also, he doesn't ever act intoxicated or messed up or anything so it's not stopping him from being able to be a parent. I really do not know what to do this is just completely unexpected. Lastly, I don't want to confront him because I'm just not the type.

My cousin had a rough divorce and he lost everything. He begged my uncle to loan him $10,000 to get his head above water. My uncle refused. My cousin slit his wrists in the bathtub and died. They were supposedly the best of friends since childhood. He pretended to be so distraught over the suicide that he told certain people that he quit drinking and smoking with the hope that they wouldn't stop over at his house anymore, but he didn't really quit at all. A few months later my uncle invested $10,000 in a Canadian weed dispensary and bragged about it. Also, my uncle visited my cousin's grave and said he swept off all of the sand that was left there by my cousin's kids because he always loved the beach and they wanted to leave some on his grave. He didn't choose to go into debt, his ex got everything in the divorce. By the way, he's my first cousin once removed.

I don't speak to my mom, maybe once every 6 months if that. We don't have a relationship, she was an abusive alcoholic throughout my childhood. However today is her birthday and Im struggling between calling or texting her happy birthday. Id rather not call her but out of obligation and because I feel bad, I dunno what I should do. Any advice? I think on my last birthday she texted me, I cant remember.

So my sister asked for my permission if she could "hangout" with my fiance' to get to know him better. I of course allowed it and they setup to meet up. She basically was asking him his intentions with me and basically implied that I was a "trophy wife" and if he were to divorce me he would take all my possessions. She also said that this marriage is very opportunistic of him and many things of that nature Now, I am a hard worker and based on both of our incomes I do make about 6 times he does. but im pretty sure he's not like that. My husband came to me very upset and I feel like I should confront her. Should I? Or is my sister just looking out for me? I feel like things like this makes your husband question even getting into any marriage :( you know what i mean he's still my fiance

I got my phone taken up because I begged my mom to go to my boyfriends house but she said so so i begged some more and she got mad and said no. So i didnt go. When she came home from work she talked to me about how disrespectful I am and how she doesnt want me going. Then she took my phone and read all my messeges including the ones with my boyfriend and at one point he said "UGH Im gonna kill someone" as an expression and she got super mad at that. Then I deleted everything off my phone from find my iPhone and she got even more mad. I wrote her a super long letter telling her im sorry and how ill change and ive apologized to her in person. Im in highschool and I really need my phone for extracurricular activities after school and in most of my classes. I've been struggling recently without my phone and I really need it but she doesnt seem to understand. pls help. Im generally a good kid. I make high A's. and i try not to make my mom mad but sh always ends up frustrated at me so we argue often. but this time she really blew up.

So my parents are constantly putting me down and tell me that I'm dumb and they constantly cuss at me. They get extremely angry for stupid reasons like if I don't put enough sugar in my dad's 'daily' tea then he'll yell at me for a really long time. They're always yelling at me for my grades even though my grades are mostly good (As and Bs). They tell me that they don't care about my feelings and only care about my grades which really upsets me. A while ago, I got an 85 on a math quiz and they yelled at me and slapped me a couple of times and then took off my door to my bedroom, unplugged the TV, and didn't let me have my phone unless I was at school. I'm only allowed to hang out with my friends for a set number in one month. They make me feel worthless and useless and I know that I have had depression and I've had it for at least 3 years. But maybe this happens to everyone and I just don't know it. Can someone tell me this happens to them to?

Every now and then I get hungry while I am watching Netflix in my room. The rule in the house is that we are not allowed to eat or drink anything in our rooms, but when I am left alone while my parents go to work, I do it anyways. When my mom finds out about it, she is always extremely frustrated and continues to yell at me saying that she adopted the wrong kid and will be calling the cops since I can t listen to her simple rules. Can she really do this? If she does call them could I actually get arrested for it? Usually she comes home before I have a chance to take the dishes and trash into the kitchen, so I hide them in my nightstand or under pillows and blankets. She knows me well enough, so she usually does a search in my room when I go to the restroom or just simply leave the room.

My blood related aunt's husband, which is my uncle by marriage, cheated on her with me. It's not that we slept together, he just touched me. She found out the morning after, when I was sleeping with my aunt in the bedroom, and he walked into the room waving his hand at me. I was looking at him. She saw him. She forced me to tell her what he did that night and I told her. Then she reported him to the police. She asked me if I was looking at him and I said no. She was no fool. She said "You were looking at him. And I guess you were smiling. Because if you got up and sneaked out, I will be so mad at you." She said I betrayed her and lied to her. She left him right then and moved to a smaller apartment the month after it happened, she moved from a 3 bedroom to a small single room place, and brought her kids with her. Her whole family fell apart. She said "I am doing this for you. I will fight for you, so you cannot challenge my love for you." And if you don't call that love, I don't know what is.
