Im living with my dad until i get back on my feet. All he ever talks about is how well my cousins are doing and what nice cars they drive. He doesnt have any hobbies. He just works and then gets home and starts working on the house. He never talks about any movies or shows or sports. Work work work. Rather annoying

Why can't I have a supportive parent who loves me without being mean and compares me to people they shamed? I read,a text from theirs and it made me feel so bad aboitmyself and down. It's like they dont ever want me to be happy even though I m9ved oit and support myself, and dont ask for anything anymore. This toxic parent cant be reasoned with and I tried explaining how I feel and they made me fewl worse like a piece of garbage and sonething is,wrong with me. Ive teied so hard to please them and it was one thing one,ekthen suddenly not ok the next. I have ptsd from verbal abuse and physical abuse growing up but I decided to stay distant and be on my own, but was told Im worthless and ungreatful.

I am 15 and a guy. I really love sleeping naked and being naked. But my mom wouldn't let me sleep naked. And my mom and dad have caught me jerking off while I was doing it under the covers. And my mom has also caught me sleeping naked. How do I get my mom and dad to let me jerk off and sleep naked? **I can't lock the door or shut it.***

So , my life has been pretty terrible lately and it's all because of my mom. It's a really long story, but to sum it up, my mom has cheated on my dad 3 times that I know of, essentially ruining our family. She is also a major alcoholic and developed a disease called peripheral neuropathy. She was in a wheelchair for about a year while I lived with my grandma. We also moved to get a "fresh start" because my dad was somehow still crawling back to my mom. The move was terrible and I don't have many friends at the moment. So my mom hasn't learned her lesson with her disease and is still an alcoholic.She constantly puts me down and says that whatever negative emotions I'm feeling are noting compared to her and that i should just shake them off. I tried telling her about my anxiety and OCD and of course I got a "well at your age my dad was dead and I was depressed suck it up *****" she also doesn't feed me and yells at me anytime I ask her to make me something, and normally I just make my own dinner after she refuses. The thing she does a lot that makes me sick to my stomach is going to the store and spending all her money on alcohol then leaving us with no money to buy food. (Our family's poor btw) my mom has done so many terrible things to me I could write a whole book. What I'm asking for is help. Please just give me some advice on how I should deal with this toxic mother and possibly go about Moving out. I'm only 13 btw and I don't wanna be seperated from my brother.

Pretty much every Saturday my gr9stays up late and gets drunk. She is loud. Screaming music. Yelling saying rock and roll or party. She head bangs. Sometimes she'll waste food.

It's beginning to be summer again, and we're encroaching my second year of suffering heat. School does not allow us to have "athletic shorts", so as a guy, I'm pretty much limited to cargo shorts or pants. I don't own any cargo shorts though. All I have is one pare of "athletic shorts". My mom promised to take me out to get shorts today, but my prized angel of an older brother (literally his nickname as a kid was angel) suddenly has to be taken out for a white shirt (he has like 3 already?) which means I can't come since my brother can't stand me to be anywhere near him when adults are around. So now my mom says she won't even look in the store for any shorts for me. I can't drive yet: I'm not yet 16; I've only got my temps. I've already learned that promises are made to be broken; I'm not hung up over that. You can't expect anything from anyone; especially your parents, but how do I do this? Last year I almost passed out walking home from school from the heat.

My bf and I are 20 years old. We started dating just before Thanksgiving. We have never argued. I think because he just goes along with what I suggest. He was raised by his grandmother until he was 10 when he went in foster care. His grandmother had a stroke and past away last August. His mother is in prison and will be for 3 more years. He's met his mother but she kind of did her own thing after leaving him with his grandmother. He said he has been in and out of prison. He also said that when he saw his mother at his grandmother's funeral, he wouldn't have recognized her, so it had to have been a long time since he saw her. Anyway, I suggested that since people do change, he might want to get back in contact with his mother especially since she'll be getting out of prison in a few years. For the first time he got mad at me. He doesn't have a mother and it's not okay to talk about her. Then he shut down on me. I texted him this morning to see if he's still mad at me and he said, "I'm not mad, but you did cross a line." Okay, I'll never mention her again. Not ever. But was I being insensitive, or was he being overly sensitive?

I'm 25 a recent graduate in college for accounting. As of lately my youngest brother and my older brothers have been ignoring me. We are all in a group text and whenever I write something they never respond to it. But when someone else does they respond right away. I recently was together with one of my brothers and my parents and he completely ignored me. Just talked to my parents. It really hurts my feelings. The vibe I am getting as to why is i am not further along in my career as they are. Ima struggling finding an accounting internship and all my other brothers are further ahead than me. It makes me feel like such a failure because I try so hard and I haven't given up. But at the same time I don't feel that's a legit reason to not talk to me and shut me out and make me feel like killing myself. I've struggled with depression my life but take meds eat healthy and work out and have learned to deal with it. I just don't know what to do. Do I confront my family about it or do I just accept this is how it is going to be?

It just feels like everybody in my family forgets about me expect my mom. My older brother barley even talks to me, and my dad forgot my birthday was coming up. I overheard this conversation earlier Mom: What are you gonna get (insert my name) for his birthday? Dad: ...His birthday? Mom: Yes, his birthday. Dad: ...What day is it on? Not only that, but my dad gave a speech on Christmas and mentioned everybody expect me into my mom told him he was forgetting me. My brother told his girlfriend all about mom and dad, but when it came time for us to meet her, she said "You didn t tell me you had a brother." It wasn t like this when I was younger, but now it only seems like my mom remembers me.

Can't believe I'm finally doing this. I enrolled in Kumon, and I'm in level D mathematics right now. I completely hate this disgusting system. All it does is drain money. My dad even flat out lied to me, saying we're going shopping and putting me in Kumon for 5 hours. And if I don't do my Kumon at home, he beats me. This has led to a terrible relationship with my Fuhrer, I mean father, who does really act like a dictator. I want to go somewhere? Kumon. I want to do something? Kumon. I WANT TO EAT FOOD? KUMON! My mother isn't much help either. She lets me mourn next to her, but if anything, she supports this system. Even when I do want to do Kumon (very rarely), I immediately arrive to see a page of mistakes, and I get beat by my father. My mum even whipped me with a charging cable when I was doing my history homework instead of Kumon. Please help. I'm practically in depression from this program.

I've been feeling overwhelming being with my parents for a while. I don't like the way they talk to me or the way they treat me. Every time I want to hold a conversation with my dad, he screams at me or cusses at me. He tells me I'm a "dumbass" and I don't appreciate what they do for me just because I don't want to go with them because I come out tired from work. I do appreciate everything what they do for me but I hate it how they say I'm lazy and I don't do anything. I'm always tired. I'm always busy. I have school, I have school practice, club practice, homework, work, I clean the house and they still call me lazy. It makes me emotionally stressed. Should I just move out? It keeps taking pieces from me.

My boyfriend's little sister comes home with bruises and often in tears. A specific girl is the worst on her. Nobody knows what they'll do next, it often escalates into violence and trauma. Her school doesn't do much and her mom wants her to stay for one more month. She told me that the main bully came from an abusive home, is now in foster care. She really wants to see how far she can go. To me, it seems like very heavy drama. It hurts to see her like this all the time, she's getting withdrawn from people.

repeat it they said you told me already. How do I politely tell them to give me some kind of response so I'll know they heard what I said.

About 5 months ago my mother took a couple strokes & was in the hospital & at Allied for it for a bit. Before the strokes, we never fought, we were very close, & honestly we had no issues. She got home about a month ago & now she s conpletely different person. I m the only person living with her so of course I m the one who takes care of her. Everything I help her with is never good enough & even though I help her with everything she freaks out and says I don t. If she claims I don t cut her food right or something she ll throw it on the floor, tell me to clean it up, & tell me she s going to die & it s my fault because she has diabetes. She says I m useless & don t do anything for her. She doesn t let me out of the house because she wants me to constantly take care of her. I m still finishing my last year of highschool & I wanted to go to college but she s making it hard & seems like she is trying to stop me from going because she wants me to take care of her. She tried to kick me out but realized she couldn t because I m not 18 yet. I turn 18 in a month but have no money because my mother wouldn t allow me to have a job until I m 18 because that s when her social security for me & food stamps get cut off. I honestly don t know what to do or how I m supposed to live when she kicks me out in a month. I probably sounds like a crybaby but I m stressed & need advice. Is it normal for someone to change so drastically after a stroke?

I'm seriously jealous of my twin. I love her, she's my sister, but I can't f*cking stand her. She takes everything. I know I sound like a jealous brat but let me explain. Everybody prefers her over me. EVERYBODY. My parents, everybody at our school, our friends, all the guys we like, everyone. Though we have different personalities, we have the same type when it comes to people we befriend and guys we like. And everybody ALWAYS chooses her. She has this amazing best friend. Her best friend is stunningly beautiful and sexy and talented and smart and I wish she was my best friend but of course she's not, because everyone chooses my sister. Sometimes her best friend will text me, and sometimes we'll hang out, but she's always closer to my twin. It's not that I don't want anyone to like my sister. She deserves to be liked just as much as I do. I'm just tired of always being the second choice. It would be nice if there were some who preferred me over her. And I try to be her friend. But she's always short with me and she looks at me like I'm a freaking murderer. I don't know what her issue is with me. She's so sweet and caring with everybody else, but when it comes to me she acts like socializing with me is the worst thing in the world, and that's fine with me. I just wish she would stop taking everything and everyone and let me have some.

If we weren't family, I would not be talking with them. It's frustrating that they could be nice and enjoyable people to be with. However, if a problem were to suddenly arise, they like to blame others even if they started the confusion. They don't like to admit what was wrong on their part or how they could improve, unless you tell them but even then, they would either insist it's your fault or brush it off with a "my bad" and name what they think you could have done better. They would talk about what they have done for you, as if you are ungrateful for their efforts. It's gotten to the point where saying a meaningless "sorry" is the only key for them to stop talking. Walking away isn't an option because they won't let it rest until they get what they want. I'm getting tired of dealing with them myself. I don't want to reach a point where I stop talking with them altogether.

I'm a male and I live with my parents and sister. I have noticed that my mother acts somewhat gross, almost like a young boy would. She burps at the dinner table and it kind of ruins my appetite. It's not a small or discrete burp either, it's always really loud and exaggerated. One time she dipped her finger in sauce on my plate, she only did this so she could feed the sauce to our dog. She also coughs in a really unpleasant manner and doesn't cover her mouth half the time. I don't think she washes her hands often at all, I don't even know if she does after using the bathroom. Is it normal to think this is gross and somewhat immature, or am I just overreacting?

Whenever I talk to my mom, or respond to something she interrupts me and says, I'm trying to get the last word, or starts yelling at me if I say anything else, even if it's completely unrelated (ex: talking about how honey bees are outcompeting native pollinators like bumble bees, being told I'm wrong and trying to get the last word, and responding with 1 out of every 100,000 people has blue blood due to copper acting as the bonding agent rather than iron).

Hello, I am 27 years old and I live by myself ... not really. My mother is a truck driver and she comes to stay with me when she has work on the road. When she is at my house, when she doesn't have a load, she has company over (people that I don't know and haven't seen). She doesn't ask if people can come over ... they just show up! She takes controlling ... she doesn't like a dirty house and i don't either but my house is decent to me. I want things to be my way. I don't even like people to be over my house unless I invite them and I like to be alone also when I get off from work. I just can't do this anymore. She's been staying with me for about 2 years and I can't take it anymore. I want my peace and to be alone when I want to. What should I do. I really want her out my house because I got a apartment to be away from people and to be a peace. She's my mother and I don't know what to do 😥

or he takes my car away . how can I trick my dad?

The woman next door raised a girl in her early 20's who I found out is adopted. She told my parents that she has an adult kid, but she lied cause it technically isn't her kid. She said NOTHING about this girl being adopted. Well, she's coming home from college this summer. I know I should feel sorry for this poor person cause her real parents didn't want her or are dead. But I can't help wondering, she could've just said she housed someone from birth to adulthood cause it was an orphan/baby of abusive people.

She hates talking to us on the phone we are all grown and live on in different states. She hates taking pics or going out with us but goes to other relatives' weddings and things and has a blast and takes pics. She has done nothing more for us than a mother should do, we all have our own kids. When each of us turned 18 we were on our own and she hadn't paid anything for any of us or have we done anything to her. Why does she hate us and hates to be around us? We are in our 30's and 40's and she hates to even talk on the phone long.

Yesterday I caught my grandma watching porn. I was in my room I went downstairs and I saw my grandma watching porn in living room

Ever since I was little I was a gamer. I always play and over the years I have gotten more and more angry when I play, (especially the new popular game Fortnite). I have two controllers that my father has bought for me over the years and recently broke both and I can't even play. I don't have a job so I can't pay for it myself. How should I tell my dad to get a new one and explain how I got out of hand?

She would constantly yell at me and pull my hair or slap me, even if I just asked if I could have [something] (for example in a shop). She blames me for everything and is trying to put her insecurities on me, making comments about me being fat even though some people said I'm underweight. She cries over everything. I was sick of having to share my room with her, so I asked if she can move out to another room (nicely.) and she just started hysterically crying and say that I just want to see her hurt and that I enjoy seeing her cry. Probably the worst thing she did was threaten to kill herself. But she always keeps touching me, even though I clearly said I don't want her to do that (it's usually inappropriate). I remember when I was small child and she started kissing me like.. absolutely sexual assault. Not just normal but you know. So I tried to push her off. Now it's better though. I once picked up my phone when I was totally done with her to call child support but I just couldn't. Even though she's so horrible she's my mom and I don't know what to do. Please help?

My Mom's sister hates my Dad and he dislikes her. They dislike each other over parenting.

I am 33 years old and pregnant. The father is a jobless drug user. I also found out he can not be trusted. Should I keep the baby and raise it myself ?

My son got humiliated by his 16 year old little sister when he was running his mouth today about how her legs looked fat in the shorts she had on. Ive gotten after him many times but to no avail. My daughter kicked him the stoimach and groin. My 17 year old son is now terrified of his little sister lol! But should I still ground her? and should he get grounded to?

The wedding is today. Here's why I really don't want to go. My mom and I aren't getting along. I've recently realized that my mom has been gaslighting me. She's very uncomfortable to talk to and be around. I've been hospitalized for the anxiety she causes me. It is not a healthy situation, not even for a minute. My sister was admitted to the hospital yesterday so hanging out with her at the wedding isn't an option. My go-to date (my husband) is not able to attend with me because he's currently living in another state for work. The cousins on this side of the family aren't people I get along with. So effectively, I'll be at this wedding completely alone. I am socially awkward and have a ton of social anxiety in this situation. I don't know what to do. By the way, I absolutely love the cousin who is getting married. We played together as children. I don't want to miss this, but I can already feel a panic/anxiety attack coming on and I haven't even gotten out of bed yet.
