Extremely long story, my husband fell ill 1.5 years ago. Since then, my only child - who spoke loving 8 fell in love and moved across the country. We sold everything we had to move near his family. His sister offered to let us temporarily move in and then ripped us off, by constantly (secretly) "borrowing" from him whenever he was bedridden, until we had nothing left, then claiming she owed nothing. Two months later, my elderly (almost 95) mother fell and needs help. Now we're living at my mom's, and I'm watching both of them slowly die. I'm going to go from being extremely busy to having no one in my life. How do I prepare for that time? (As I stated earlier, i don't have time for myself right now.)

Since late 2016 my parents have done almost nothing but belittle and ignore me. They see me as an obstacle and I'm constantly unappreciated. My mother never takes me places and doesn't want to talk to me after work, often completely ignoring me whilst I speak. They laugh at me like I'm some sort of joke to them. My Father is your friend one day and then your enemy the next, it's common for him to start arguments with me over petty things. I helped them move house and I never got a thanks, only to remember to pay board next month. I'm tired of life and this fake family I live in. I don't want to know them anymore, like they don't want to know me. Just another betrayal in my short lived life. What should I do?

Long story short, my husband's little sister hates my guts because when we were still living with his family, she had her TV too loud one night at 1:30 in the morning, so I asked her if she would mind turning it down a bit. She immediately struck up an attitude like I was demanding that she never use her TV again. She responded horribly to that and has been bullying me ever since. She'll give me the death glare, sigh when I talk, make snarky comments at me, and just make me feel unwanted. We moved out a month ago and are now living with my parents and brother, which is a lot less drama and stress. But whenever I'm at his family's house and I see her, she still treats me like I'm the worst thing ever. She gave us a wedding picture frame as a wedding almost 3 months ago, but my husband and I don't want to be reminded of her when we look at a picture of our wedding day. What should be said when we return the gift to her? We're planning on having my husband give it to her, because if I do she'll probably throw it at my head. Not joking

Long story- but important read. I've been with my girlfriend for a year. I'm about to propose to her. She has done everything for me- from washing me when I got injured, to bringing me lunch, to entertaining friends etc. She's been there through it all. I have never been happier, and feel as though us "ending" would be the end of me. Some back ground on her: She owns her own business, a successful business for someone of her age. My parents do not believe her what-so-ever. I have seen invoices, business documents, etc from well known local businesses etc, and know she is not lying. She also has an enormous amount of money, which though I tell her not to spend on me, she often does, without the blink of an eye. My parents believe she owns nothing and has nothing. The problem is that I love my parents, though they have often been controlling regarding life choices (college, girlfriend, truck). They have gotten to the point where if I invite my S.O to an event they cancel it. Now they have confronted me and have stated that "it's either them or her" and that they will disown me. My parents are strict, and I know that they mean it. On the other hand, my S.O has tried everything to make them happy, and has tried to help me figure out what to do so I don't loose my parents. I am not willing to give her up- as I plan to spend the rest of my life with her- so what can I do?

My husband had a child before me and there has been non stop drama every since she was born. He doesn't even know his daughter. The only time she gets 2 come around is when she is with my in laws. I think my husband feels defeated because he's tried to see his daughter bt the bm has insisted on making it hard for him. As of now we have been stayin with my in laws. His daughter has came to visit for a couple weeks. It's just been a lot of tension and uncomfortable feelings. Her mother is constantly texting her and having her hide her phone from me & has put a lock on her phone. Keep in mind this child is barely 9 years old. Y would she need a lock on her phone? Sometimes the child will go n the bathroom n talk to her mom. Her mom has FaceTimed her & just a bunch on uncesssary stuff. The child hasn't even been here 4 a week. I feel tht her mom is talking trash about me & my kids n it worries me tht she may try mistreat or even worse hurt my kids. I don't trust her around them because of her evil mom. Well yday I seen the little girl writin on a piece of paper. I asked her what was she writing. The paper stated "HATE is the only way ". "It's driving me crazy"! I could only think that it's things her mom has been puttin in her head about her dad and I. I'm just fed up with petty drama. I so badly want to get the phone and just go through it. And I really want to expose the baby mom 4 her evil plots n schemes because she has the world fooled n2 believin im the bad guy. What 2 do?

I'm going to say something next time I see him because my mother keeps coming to me telling me the ignorant things he's said to her. I don't know how to talk to a dull individual with a massive ego. I don't think he knows the word ego or what it means. He says things that hurts my mother, sister, and brother but thinks it's funny. When they tell him how that effects them he says "oh I was just joking, why can't you take a joke?". He never joins us on family get togethers. He's made us all feel like he doesn't like us, which is fine but my sister wants us all to be happy together. He watches tv inside when we all bbq outside. He goes to his room when we all come in to watch tv. I think my sister wants to leave him but they have a child together, I've read into and experienced the effects of divorce on a child. I think the best case scenario for my unemployed sister and infant nephew is for them to stay together and work on bettering their relationship. Is there anything I can do to help? I've told my sister how I feel about him and she completely agrees with me but never ceases to make excuses for him. So now I kinda want to be direct with him. Should I bother?

I caught my dad cheating and he is pissed off at me, and telling me if I tell my mom I would be the one to blame for their divorce. Then slapped me in the face cause I responded that I didn't tell him to **** anyone, that it wasnt my fault, I told him that if there was someone to blame for whatever happens was him. That it was a nice try to go and try to manipulate me. He got so furious he even slammed me against the wall and then started crying saying it was a mistake and saying how much he loved mom. Now I somehow feel guilty and I don't know if I should tell or not.

I love her so much but I can't be the daughter she needs. It's like every time I hear from her she needs money, food and gas. I can have $20 left and she wants it all. She watches how much I work ( no we don't live together) I'm 28 but have been there so long until I'm he past 6 months I'v been saying no. She's married and only 48. And haven't worked for years. She texts me, call my work come to my home with some dramatic story. She's always lying about having cancer and done it since I was little because she wants attention. Just the other day she called and told me she have three months left. Staying in the same state As her is becoming too much because I can't focus on my life because I'm constantly worried about her and I can't take care of her because I'm barely making it. I'm going to start counseling next month.

Here's the deal. This past Sunday my husband's aunt passed away after a long illness. It was his dad's sister. We were in church when he got the news and he became visibly upset. So much so until we had to leave service. The funeral is is coming Saturday. He wants me to go to the funeral with him. I don't have a problem going to the funeral with him but I told him I was going to drive my own car because I had to work later in the day and couldn't spend the whole time with him. I recently started working for Gurbhub delivering meals as a part time side job. My husband thinks I'm wrong to now want to spend the day with him and his family because of my job. No, it's not my only source of income. I do have a full time job that I work 5 days a week but I'm doing this to save money for some car repairs. He throws in my face how when my aunt passed last year how the family scheduled the funeral during the week and he took a day off without pay to drive me out of town for the funeral and I stayed the whole day with them. He feels that I'm not being fair in his time of need simply because someone wants a to-go plate from P.F. Changs. Now he's not talking to me. Should I lose money because he wants me to go to a funeral with him and his family? I told him I'd go but I needed to leave so I was going to drive my car and just duck out later. Am I wrong?

The very beginning of my life I knew my life were never going to be perfect my parents never really got along every day I would see them yelling at each other then when i went to school i got bullied alot all the way till I was done with high school. I Always had people hating me. Because I dont know how to communicate? Because I smell? Because im fat ? I never really got to defend myself because I had this peace maker in me It would shock you if you get tired from doing heavy stuff. I was born with a hole in my heart I never really got any friends to back me up to this day Im sure all of them are fake friends. My mom passed away in 2016.... Ever since she passed away my siblings always be arguing at each other about getting a job and helping each other I wish they would help is so hard for me dad & my oldest brother pay for everything while my middle brothers get to do nothing and just relax. Is not the money that I care about all I care is about helping each other but whats the point of helping my two lazy middle brothers when they dont even want to help us while we are helping them Im the youngest in the family my brothers treat me like trash every time I ask my middle brothers to help they would get mad at me or ignore me so I dont even know what Im doing here in life anymore feels like im just doing what they want what about me? I wish i get to do what I want play sports, hiking, wrestling, ufc, basketball. baseball, but I cant do any of that with this heart problem....

He is a straight A student in America, but all he does is study, eat and play games. We all want him to be more responsible, for him to go to classes to learn stuff or to work. But he is an immigrant, so even if he gets a job, he won't be getting paid. He needs to build himself for after he finished school, so he can get good jobs. Anyone had a similar experience, as in what my brother is experiencing? What are some classes he can take that will help him grow as a person? Thank you for your advice.

He knows now bullying won't be tolerated

My mom is an angry person, she tends to make things way worse than they are and yell at the slightest things. This might sound awful but knowing my parents were getting a divorce was an amazing moments. My mom would yell at everyone and no one wanted to be with her. Once, my mom moved out me, my siblings and my dad were so much happier. She was just no fun to be around because she is such an angry person. My mom currently has MS and she is living with us now. None of my siblings wanted her so I am taking care of her. The moment she moved in my relationship with my husband as gone downhill. She brings us both down, she insults him if he doesn't buy the right food with his own money and she is completely ungrateful. My husband no longer wants to come home because she is there so he spends more time at work and occasionally sleeps at friends. He made it clear he wants her out and I do too but it is my mom, so I refused at first so now he is angry because of her. Now at me for allowing her there. I haven't made love with my husband in three months because of my mom and it is ruining our marriage. She disrespects us in our own house. Additionally, she wrote her will and everything is going to my brother because I did not do a good job taking care of her. don't want her money, I am making a great living by myself but giving my brother everything because I did not take good enough care of her is just outright disrespectful. Additionally, all her expenses are paid by us who she turns around complaining about. While my brother is getting everything and lives in her house for free now is hurtful. I'm the one who is caring for her, I don't want her money.But I'm paying for her expenses, taking care of her. But my brother is getting stuff because I didn't do a good job. Worse off she is ruining my marriage, I know my husband wants her to leave and I do too. I know she is my mom and all but she insult me and my hubby, disrespects us, she doesn't want to use her money on herself because it's going to my brother. So I should kick her out and let her live with him. He can take care of her (unlikely).

Hey guys. Thanks in advance for helping me out. I'm sixteen years old and live in Orange County, California. I wouldn't consider myself a normal kid. Since I have been a young boy, I've always been a big fan of Disney. Also, living so close to Disneyland, I have had an annual pass for a large portion of my life. However, ever since I turned sixteen, my parents have begun to give me the cold shoulder. They are now saying that they plan to NOT renew my annual pass, and they say "it's time to grow up and stop with being so obsessed with Disney." To me, I don't see how that's fair. I have LOVED Disney for such a large portion of my life, and now they keep telling me to "grow up". Also, Disneyland is a rare place these days that makes me happy. I've also been a fan of the cinema and movies for a while. Lately, however, they always say "no" to me going to the movies because they say "it's not reality" Personally, I don't think that's fair at all. I've always thought that when I was a parent I would let my kids be themselves. I am at a point of my life where I am becoming who I am. Please help me out. What should I do? THANK YOU!!!

Hello, I've been living with my mom for about 3 years and over time it's gotten worse. Particularly the past year it's been bad. She has even gone as far to tell me to kill my self, she called me a whore, a stupid *****, a dumbass, and many more names and this happens many times a week. She gets mad at little things and I try to solve her problems and do everything right but it's never enough and I get yelled at 24/7 and called names to the point where I feel suicidal. She has never hit me though, so I'm wondering what CPS can do? I'm not going to risk calling them because it'll be so bad if I do and they don't help me. My dad lives in another state but when I lived with him he refused to buy groceries and he put me into a mental hospital when I was 11 because I didn't want his girlfriend to move into our house. I have two siblings over the age of 18 so I'm wondering if they could become my legal guardian and I don't have to see my mom anymore?? I have audio recordings of my mom screaming and calling us names and a lot of texts messages too if that helps. PLEASE. I just need to get out of this and I don't know what to do
