Jw my friend lost their baby yesterday and I am wanting to help

I just graduated from college but am still living at home. My parents are taking my sister on a house boat trip along with some family friends. I was never asked if I wanted to go only told that I would need to take care of the family friends pets along with the my parents pets. One of the only reasons I was given that I wasn t invited was that my boyfriend wasn t able to go so they figured I wouldn t want to go so they didn t bother asking. All any of them seem to want to do is talk about how excited they are for this trip which hurts knowing I am not allowed to go.

It's seriously very distressing to hear about those that do. I was disturbed to hear that a friend has taken pictures of three of her kids' butts (aged 5, 1, and 2.) Friends of mine are even uploading them on Facebook. Is this something that needs to be reported?

I was visiting my cousins (my mom's sister's children). They were showing the family picture album. It has pictures of my mom when she was young and was she ever beautiful. WOW. I told my aunt that I had never seen those pictures and I thought my mom in those pictures was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. My aunt said "If you think she was beautiful then, let me show you some of national magazines she modeled for". Moms pictures in those magazines just blew me away. I had not idea mom had ever been a model. She had never told me about that? I ask my aunt if she could make me a copy of mom's pictures so I could put them on the wall in my room and she agreed to do so. Do you think my mom would have a problem with her daughter putting her mom's pictures on my room at home as I am so proud of her? Can anyone think of a reason mom never told her daughter she was a model and had appeared in national magazines?

This girl started laughing at my jokes and finding ways to talk to me. Found any way she could to start a conversation. Then she started getting red while talking to me and couldn't stand still hid her face not looking at me. Well she stares at me in class with her head raised and eyebrows lowered touching her face, her lips or biting her nails. While talking at the end of a conversation she's still staring into my eyes and smiling and when I look away she's still staring at me. I have cracked a joke and she sat there in silence staring into my eyes and when I look away she's still staring at me. She did it around her friends. One smiles looking at me. And when we have this long eye contact her friend giggles uncomfortably. Her bff liked a picture with my dad tagged in it (I don't talk to her) and the girl did too. She told me she likes it the next day. Her friend tried to get me to hangout with them so the girl had an attitude. The one day she wore something revealing (a v neck that showed a little cleavage) her friend asked me for a picture with them when I'm minding my own business and had me sit with them. So she takes the picture so the girl can lean over to me and put her arms close and she's blushing. I'm sent the picture so the girl can like it then tell me the next day she likes it when she took it. When she gets a picture with me she wants me next to her asks me to move closer. Her friend says her name when I enter a room. Early on her friend asked me to run after her as joke and try to talk to her. Are her friends doing this because they know something ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.1.04

I have asked about this before as he is not close to the extended family but I am. For some reason the extended family only goes to him with the invites and since he declines 9 out of 10 times I miss out. My cousins all go. Recently he even went to something and didn't tell me. It is like he is trying to keep me away. I am an adult but the family still goes to the parents for them to tell their adult children. My Dad gets mad when I confront him about this. How do I change this? I am afraid to tell the grown ups to please ask me separate cause my Dad never tells me cause then they will feel I am imposing as I had done as a teenager. They all seem to like me but my Dad likes to hold grudges with my Mom (now deceased) and so he doesn't like interacting much cause my Mom had egos and grudges against people who are often their. He shared her grudges I guess to be supportive. I am 35 and my father 66. My Mom died two years ago but nothing changed with these relationships.

I have a bio-father but he rejected me for his new wife and their kids + her two kids. I know they are likely all with him this weekend and I am not. It hurts so much. My Mom and I will be going to my grandfather's birthday (maternal grandfather) on Sunday but a grandfather is not the same as a father. I feel rejection and I also feel shame that I was not good enough for him but these other kids are. I feel the same pain at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

sends my bad potential positions, stalks me with her messages, calls my mother in law, sends me her brother and sisters to only asks me private details before saying hi, and imitates when I tell her "I don't know", interferes in my discussions with others in conferences, backstabbed me in a job application? And whenever she talks to me, twice in 10 years, she tells me everybody told her she is so smart while she is 35 years old?

My mom thinks I'm crazy for envying another girl and wanting her life in lieu of mine because a lot of people like her and she already has her friends and a nice boyfriend. She only feels this way because I am more educated (/bachelor's and Master's Degree) than people. I felt envious because I have had too many failed friendship attempts and fake friends with other women (I'm a female in my mid 20s). I will admit that with a few people, I felt that I tried too hard. But then there were others who never claimed me as a friend even when I was being myself, and I think I was just used as a back up friend. I never even dated any guy either for personal reasons. I would rather be well liked than more educated because I don't see popular/loved people have mental/self-esteem issues like I do. Before anyone bashes me, ask yourself this. If nobody liked you for who you were, you were constantly snubbed ,bullied and humiliated for your attributes that people didn't like, wouldn't your self-esteem be far from perfect too? I can now see why women have low self esteem when it comes to friendships, finding a good man, and getting tons of plastic surgery (Lil Kim, for example). It makes sense, and they are only acting like that because nobody likes them for who they are.

I don't know if it's my fault. I can't go into detail. But my dad said f*** you to me. I have to let this out. My feeling is not describable. Im a 15 year old male btw. We go to therapy. He hints every now and then that I am the cause of the problem in the family. I always had a feeling that my dad had this hatred for me deep down, even though he denies it in therapy and says he's just frustrated. This time he said F you many times. Screaming it. Over and over and over again. F you, f you, f you. Each time he said it was like another time getting stabbed in the chest. I couldn't and still can't believe it. I never thought my dad would talk to me like that. He said it over and over again each time more confidently. He meant it, and I could hear it in his voice. He didn't mince his words. I don't know what to do. I don't know anymore. I know many people get beaten by their parents, but this is different. This is like the 'first beating'. I don't know that I will ever forgive my father. I don't know why I'm posting this online but I need some way to express myself without a censor. When I'm older I will never treat my kids like this. Never. I will do everything in my power to not treat my kids like this. Nobody deserves to be treated like this. I looked up to my dad. My therapist doesn't understand me either. My life wasn't bad either. I was in good shape in sports I had straight A's but somewhere it just broke apart. I don't know.

If I am a fresh out of Masters program graduate and i move out on my own and make my own money. Is there a financial responsibility to help your parents out financially if they don't ask you for money? For example, I'm 26 and my parents make 30k for 2 people, i make 65k.........Is there a rule where i have to financially help them out?

I'm 18 and my sister is younger than me. She always thinks she's better than me and more educated than me. She calls me "boring" just because she goes to some concerts and events and have some cool friends. She looks at me as if I were nothing compared to her?? Her personality is so bad I can't bear her. She barely responds to me when I'm talking to her. Never bothers to talk to me and when she does she is always rolling her eyes at me to anything i day. Why is her ego so ******* high??

Her bully is in long term foster care. It's disturbingly the "norm" to be from dysfunctional families in this area. There's drugs, fights, crime and violence everywhere. My daughter is showing signs of anxiety and wanting to skip school. The school does NOTHING about the problems. Kids are rough and learn to go against authority from a young age. There's even a social media page that posts all the fights that happen during school - there's a few fights almost every day. I'm beginning to worry that it will effect her for years down the road. At one point, my daughter came home starved and thirsty at 6pm or so.. because the same girl didn't let her come home unless she lied to CPS that someone is sexually/physically assaulting her. My daughter didn't do it, but she's been more down than ever since.

Like alhamdullilah we have money and good health, I was thin till I was 13. I gained weight and mom use to hit me and insult me and forced me on diet. Even when I turned 16 and lost weight, I decide to wear hijab. Mom got me new clothes and boots when I went to school. Like we are Arabs but I must respect mom, but I feel stressed out. Why is it so important for my mom that I look good?

They divorced and have not spoken in 8 years other then brief email exchanges about us kids. I want to get them remarried and do so by Christmas this year so we can have a family Christmas and not have to be left out from my Dad's family cause Mom wants us. How do I get them to fall in love and marry again and to do so by Christmas?

The aunt is mad I kept it a secret that my cousin was fired in March. I have known the secret ever since and my aunt just found out. She is always mad at her daughter as the two are mostly estranged and so I felt I would make it worse and since the daughter is 24 it is an adult, not a kid. She is furious my parents didn't tell her and agitated I didn't. The mother resents the daughter cause the daughter does not reciprocate the mother's love whereas the other daughter does and is all good.

Can narcissists be violent? They are fighting via texts.

I'm an adult(21) who recently got their license and I'm not allowed alone until at least one month later. They have never driven with me before besides my dad once yet only for a few minutes. I've been driving with a instructor basically. My family members who have stated their opinion say yes while some also say just avoid rush hour. My cousin and my friend both got in a car wreck so they are afraid I might end up like them. Keep in mind just two people they can account for. They also bring sexism and don't trust me as much just because I'm a girl who isn't going to compare to male drivers. They are Asian and the location doesn't matter. They also won't trust the judgements of other family members at times because they think their judgment is the best. Sorry for the rant.

WHy won t she help me when my sister gets everything she wants and everytime I want to work and need money for transportation at least $200.00 for two weeks before the first pay check, she refuses to give me any money. And she gives me a hard time about me working. Like, I don t have to rely on the b*ch to always paying my rent. I m old enough to be on my own. And thats why I m trying to live and make it on my own by wanting to work full time. She put me on disability 10 years almost now because she wants me to rely on her.And years ago I wanted to join the military then she called the cookoo house on me and claimed that I was crazy and that s how the story happened. I never wanted to be on disability but the b*ch from hell put me on there out of spite. I couldn t make there anyways because of heart disease. Don t you think she s a b*ch for this? She s very controlling. I hate my mother s guts. I"m medicated now for over 10 years for no apparent reason. Half the things I say to her I need to prove or get her damn recognition. I hate her f*c*en guts. She treats my sister better and with respect when she s a crazy psycho and a spoiled b*tch. What do I do and how do I get out of this abusive atmosphere?

Hello, I'm 16, and I haven't seen my mom in almost 10 years. I have spoke to her online and my family is aware. There is a lot of drama from the past, my mom was too mentally unstable to care for my brother and I and my family still fights about it. I really want a relationship with my mom. And it would be awesome to finally see her but i'm very scared, and I need an outsiders opinion/point of view I would be taking a flight by myself to stay at her house where she has a male roomate (they are really good friends) She says she will pay for the flight. I am just so nervous to stay at her house without my other family members. I know if they felt like she would harm me they wouldn't allow me to go. But I am terrified. What should I do?

Okay I been with my fiancé for 5 years we are getting married next month. Problem is I never met his family and this is why since day 1 they got so jealous and envious when my fiancé started spending all his time with me and found happiness his sister is controlling and tried to break us up numerous of times. She even called me racist words not just her but three other people in his family did too. When he moved in with me his mom got mad and upset because she said her son was abandoning her by moving out with me like what? How does that make sense because of their drama racist words hatred it made me never want to meet them or be around them we are getting married in a month and not sure wat to do since I really don't want to invite any of them advice please

She is not blood family and actually she is my Godmother. She is 24 years older then me but we are in love. She is divorced so it is not adultery or anything in fact before we started dating we had only seen each other twice since she and my uncle divorced when I was 12 in 2002. She was married to my uncle for 14 years. We love each other and would have children together but she is too old to. I am 27 years old now and ready to marry her. We have been engaged since April. The family us upset as they hadn't had anything to do with her since the divorce other then a cordial hello at two events for the kids. However, I feel like I am being controlled and her parents are okay with it. I'll be a step-father to my two cousins which I think is cool. We even wrote to the Dr. Phil Show though we have not heard back. So how can I get my family to accept that I want to marry my uncle's ex-wife? This is a serious question and not something I am making up. Marking private for her privacy as we share an account (we are living together).
