There's the guy who works for my dad that I really like and I think he likes me too. We haven't gone out or anything but we do talk a lot when he comes around our house or when I stop by my dad's office. I think my dad has caught on the fact that we like each other. He told me not to even think about it because he was too old for me but he's 19 and I'm 16 and I'll be 17 at the end of the year so how is that too old? I'm really confused here since I finally met someone that I really want to go out with and now he's saying that I can't!

Long story short, my parents (mom and step-dad) kicked me out at 18 and told me it was because I was being too disrespectful and an asshole. I'm almost 21 now, and when I brought up a conversation about them kicking me out my mom said it was because my behavior was putting tension on their relationship. I felt hurt hearing that come out of her mouth, especially because I felt lied to for the past few years. I never knew they felt that way. However, that's not the first time she's said something like that to me. I remember when I was a kid (probably 10 or 11), my mom sat me down on the couch after everyone had gone to bed and told me I needed to start acting better and quit being so mean to my step-sister. She said she was afraid my step-dad and sister would decide to walk out on us someday because of the way I was acting. I just find it strange because my mom has never blamed me for her and my real dad's divorce (which happened when I was just a year old). But twice now she's accused me of making her relationship with my step-dad harder than it should've been. Why is this? Am I to blame? Has anyone else gone through this before? P.S. I'm the youngest of three. My step-sister, then my brother (who has Down's syndrome), and finally me. It's funny because I was always the one being held responsible for my sibling's emotions/actions, despite being the youngest by three years.

I have a sister and I think she has a mental illness. Like one time I told her that her babysitter (of her son) taught some sex-sign to her son. The next thing I know she went crazy and shout Update: shouting like someone in an asylum. and she ran around like a duck. She has really bad temper and some weird personality. Like over self centered person and hard to compromise with others. Our mom's birthday is coming and I'm too afraid to see her. We usually gather in our parents house during our mom birthday. how do you deal with her? I've have had enough for about 5 years and she was yelling and shouting at me.... in my home office at my house.... NOT her babysitter... and btw.... she told lies about me before..... crayzzzz she has not given a birthday wish in 2 years.... she pretends she forgets....

Like, if you found out your dad is cheating on your mom with a different woman every week, would you care or no? MY DAD IS NOT CHEATING

My younger sister's b-day is coming up, she's turning 16 and I swear she still acts like a brat. She knows that I want to celebrate my 18th at Disney so she decided to celebrate her birthday at Disney these upcoming two weeks. My parents don't really understand how important it is to me to want to go to Disney for the first time on my birthday and my sister is doing it just to spite me (we don't get along). She hates amusement parks, let alone, celebrating her birthday anywhere that isn't at a restaurant or a movie theatre, but now she M A G I C A L L Y wants to go to one, one that she doesn't even like? I wanted to go for my 15th, I even showed effort to save up, but my parents didn't so we stuck to inviting a couple of friends over, just like they asked me to. I've waited this long for this special moment, but she really wants to make me miserable, doesn't she? Just wait until my 18th comes around, we won't have enough money again, maybe they'll buy my sister another telescope which she won't use ever again.

My mom is always annoyed because she says I move around a lot. She gets annoyed if I change position when sitting or move at all. She is the only person who has ever told me this. Why is she annoyed by me moving normally? I don't feel like she only tells me this, no one else. I don't feel like I move around a lot, only if I am uncomfortable then I do move.

It seems like these women see me as troubled and care about me, but I do not want to connect personally and intimately with women unless they want to with me. I end up turning them away because they do not want to know me or be acquaintances or friends with me. How can I avoid having these kinds of toxic relationships?

in my late 20s, I've never seen him do this before and he's never tried anything but this one time I caught him staring I get really pissed off whenever a guy makes perverted passes at me so my dad doing it made me angry AF and he just seems disgusting to me now which sucks because everything was fine before, I felt comfortable around him but that moment just ruined everything I don't know what to do, it's stressing me out to clarify he was staring at mine

my dad called me and asked me if I wanted to go on this vegas trip because there's relatives that are visiting from another country to visit my grandparents. mind you that it's gonna be ALL old people and no kids my age. and rn I don't have my phone but like if I go with my dad I can get my phone for the trip but if I stay home I have to continue staying home and do nothing bc I'm homeschooled. my family keeps saying I should go but then they are like don't go if hes just gonna leave u in the hotel room alone. but at the same time even though it's all old people I don't wanna stay home. I need advice by tonight.

I'm 19, she is 56. I have been friends with this lady for 2 years, we are both girls. We have been through it all together. She has helped me through school, trainings, personal things. We have gone through happy times, sad times, we laugh together, we cry to each other, we have so much in common and our lives are so similar. We talk every single day on the phone, she will call me every single day in the morning before work Or during the day in her break times she will call. We tak at least 4 times a day, each call about 15-20 minutes, its sweet. We text, share exciting things, we talk about EVERYTHING and anything, girl stuff, boys, life, family stuff... I absolutely just love talking to her. We have a special bond, we have both mention what a special blessing we are to each other (her to me, me to her) she even tells me how I have become a special person in her life. Why do you think we are so close?

My Mom's sister has hurt every one of her siblings. She has also hurt her parents by refusing to go places various family members are and then playing victim. She has 3 brothers and one sister. My Mom's position is to be nice to her bit not get caught up in the drama. All of the aunt's recent visits to where we live though my Mom pretends to be out of town. She does send birthday and Christmas cards and we saw her once at a funeral last October. I don't want to be estranged or play the game of refusing to speak to family but I also don't want to get caught up in the drama and made nervous or be used by this aunt to get dirt about people in the family (the aunt fishes for gossip). So how would I reach out without getting hurt or used?

My brother is going down a path of destruction, and has been for years. He is in high school, and has stolen thousands of dollars worth of things from my family, and after the outbreak he still continues to steal. Not as expensive things (that I know of) as before, but is still stealing. He is doing poorly in school (failed a few classes), sneaks out the house, smokes/smoked weed (i don't really know at this point), lies.... And ever since he switched from private to public school his friends have made him do bad things. I do not know what else to do. My parents have had enough, I know it. My mom and myself have said NUMEROUS times that my brother should have gone to military school (back when he was in middle school) and at every opportunity my dad has pushed it away. He doesn't want to do anything about these issues. Now its too late... he doesn't and most likely won't learn from his mistakes. He doesn't listen to anyone and won't do what his parents tell him to do. I am tired of living in a household like this. It's a shame that your own sibling makes you not want to be around your family anymore. Nothing he says is truthful and it hurts me and my parents. I do not want to get involved anymore because its not my place and I'm tired of fighting and being the middle person. I want to be low-key. Am I doing the right thing? When I leave for college in the fall, I am scared that the situation will get worse when I am gone. I don't know what to do anymore. Help?

Lately I've been thinking about the future, and I've been coming up with scenarios that seem very possible. Due to past circumstances and what I've learned thus far. I'm not married right now but I have this feeling that when I do get married it will be to a woman who enjoys fine food and she won't necessarily be fat but she will be a little thick which is fine by me, in fact preferable. But that's besides the point. I have a feeling she will be an amazing cook and I will love her food but I get this weird feeling that it will just be too much. We will have 5 course meals and huge entrees and I'll be afraid to tell her we need to cut back since it might offend her cooking even though I love her cooking. This all hypothetical but I have a strong feeling it might become a reality. Anyhow, I feel as though we will over indulge and at that point I'll be very nervous for my health since most health regimens and guidelines either require or begin with nutrition. And I'm afraid we'll have that going against us. And I want to remain healthy. But I'm afraid I might let myself go and become like a lazy sloth. What are your recommendations? Or what would you tell your spouse if she was cooking too much food?

I want to stay and live in Texas until I'm 18 because I only have 2 more years of high school to finish. My younger brother is 10 and wants to live with my dad in Idaho. What will they do if we both say we want to live in different places?

my mom has been depressed since my oldest brother left for the navy, i'm her only and youngest daughter, 15 years old and i'm extremely close with her, today i found out that yesterday her and her fiancé, husband soon to be broke it off from 3 years of being together. it breaks my heart so i can only imagine how she is. i've been crying all day at school, what can i do to help?

And their daughter was mean to me.

I am 17 yo guy. I always have shoulder length hair that I and everyone else loves. Then, one night we were eating dinner and my Dad says, Son, in the May you are getting a buzzcut (no guard, as Dad later precised). what can cause such decision? I have never got a buzzcut, it would be my first one. how long is no guard buzzcut? how would I look with it

So my husbands parents are the type of people who only want their kids for cleaning their house basically as they sit around. If they clean wrong they would get screamed at. All the while fostering kids and treating them like best friends. For example, His mom helped her son cut himself so she could send a pic to her own mother so she's come over from Florida to help with the house, but she wouldn't come so the mom left her kids with their father that his kids would hide from in fear. And she continuously threatens to leave the family. My husband and I have been married a year, the whole time his mom would call weekly telling my husband to come clean her house or she'd yell at him and say he's a terrible human. So my husband cut them out of our lives as I tried to stay out of it by remaining quiet, which seemed to just caused his mom to blame it all on me too for ruining her son cause I didn't prove otherwise with my quietness. We haven't talked in months. But although my husband seemed in distress everyday when we were in contact with them, and I felt I was constantly anxious and just get extremely anxious at the thought of talking to them again, I still have respect for my own parents, however, and can't help but wonder, are we making the right choice by cutting them out of our lives? Or are we just being ungrateful?
