Hello everyone, I have a question. I live in South Florida and wanted to know if i Can add my 2 grandchildren to my section 8 voucher? My daughter gave me guardianship of them and signed an agreement and had it notarized, Birth certicates, Social security cards And medical records.

I really wanted to be at my grandfather's 80th this past Saturday. All the family was there including cousins I haven't see in few years. My flight was cancel and I am beyond devastated. I had to play hooky from work today as I am so upset. I was the only grandchild not there. I am sure he understands and I'll be seeing him in August but I am just so upset. I fear the summer can't count as good with this family visit being a bust as all my summer excitement was based on this. I changed my flight to August but while I will see my grandparents and the two cousins I always get to see I won't get to see the out of town ones until next summer's reunion. I am devastated. I can't get over it. How do I have a good summer despite this devastation? Last summer I saw about half the family at a bi-annual reunion and I was ecstatic afterwards and the summer was wonderful, absolutely wonderful. This summer is horrible. How do I change that and reset it? How do I get over this crushing disappointment?

He's constantly screaming and cussing at his games or me when i tell him to be quiet. he broke my stuff dozens of times. Once I was messing with him and he broke my mechanical pencil (those really expensive ones. One time where he got mad at me and threw my pen which broke it's tip. Broke my box for my charger when he got mad it wasnt charging his phone (turned out to be his cord and not MY box) He freaking threw it at a wall and tried to say the next day he didnt throw it even though he told me the day before he did. once trashed my room when he got mad at me. he spit on me when we were fighting and calls me names lil sh*t, b*tch, c*ck sucker, f*ck*r whale (for me being a lil over weight for my age. (5'6 and 150 pounds) and im working out!) fat when i eat literally anything. If i get a lil more than people. Once this girl just gave me a plate of food and he called me fat. My mom is like this too. So maybe its genetic or something. Is my younger brother a narcissist or is he just being a younger brother? part 2 of 2

It seems like all my friends that are teens still have their grandparents and many people tell how nowadays humans live longer and how some people in their thirties or fourties still have their grandparents, but I have none of mine left and I feel so bad because of this. My mom was 30 when she had me and my dad was 34, but I don't know about their parents. And is it true that humans live longer now than before?

My oldest son is 30 years old. He's a Marine veteran of operation Iraqi Freedom. I got 3 kids. His younger brothers are popular,funny,have girlfriends and just enjoy life,whereas my oldest son is just... well it breaks my heart for him. He doesn't have a girlfriend,he's always alone,he's got no interests if we don't count taking long walks alone. He works at the local library. I don't know how to help him. He doesn't have many friends and even if it's hard to say it especially as a parent he's an outcast. In high school at least he had like 2 or 3 friends,no girlfriend though. He really loved one but she rejected him. Then he joined the Marines after high school. Most of his friends went to college. So he also lost the only small group of friends he had. He's comfortable only with other Marines around. How shall I help him? ? uhm perhaps you didn't understand. Nobody wants to deal with my son. He doesn't want to be alone. it's just that he doesn't seem to fit in with civilian life. When he was in high school he was just shy. Now the only people he's comfortable with are fellow Marines

My mother has been with this guy named David for a couple years now, I think three, but he has this huge anger issue. Every time he feels opposed or tried, he goes on a tangent. Some of the times, things take a turn for the worse. Last Thursday, him and I got into an argument over an unfair punishment he was giving my little brother. David then began to belittle me and bring up my wrong doings, trying to question my veracity and a whole bunch of other stuff. Well, my older brother, 15, began telling David to back off and stop "bullying" me. David didn't take this very well, and he got into Justin's personal space and pushed him. My brother, having been beaten by my biological father before (he beat all of us), did not react very well, anticipating what might come next and reacting before it could. He punched David 3-4 times, which triggered David's PTSD from the military. He just went off on Justin, punching him, kicking him, all of it. He slammed my brother's head into the dresser (rather pushed it with force, I don't know if slam is the right term), and it began bleeding. I was calling the police (I am 12 years old), but David rode off on the motorcycle before they got here. We spent the night at my sister's boyfriend's house (William) for safety reasons. Just the next day, my mom went to work and got off early. We went to the pool, me and my 3 siblings (the youngest who witnessed was 9, my older sister was at work) but my mom went home after work. Rest in comments

So long story short. My dad inherited alot, went bankrupt 20 years ago, never cut his loses and now doesnt have anything...like nothing! he cant even go back to his country, I moved out my dads at 17and he hasnt supported me since! I dont mind working, going to school, waking up at6am just to watch market open etc! since my dad has 5 kids (im the youngest) my brother suggested each pay 200 dollars amonth!!!!! thats alot of money to me considering thats 20-25 percent of my income! My dad is lazy flat out, he doesnt like to work and lives life by YOLO and i cant pay for his fuckups!!!! I love my dad but i cant afford another 200 dollar payment, i would rather put it towards courses, trades etc..Should i feel bad that i said the most i can do it 50 bucks amonth

It made me sad to see my brother all skinny dirty and on drugs. I feel like I can't talk to him cuz he'll get mad. It makes me want to cry. What do I do?

My sister is 12 and she completely rules our house. What she says goes and nobody cares. She has a game she plays on her phone which requires her to go around town and collect stuff and she needed a ride to go all the way to the other side of town. My mom was at the grocery store and she called my mom and my mom said she would be home in 15 minutes well 16 minutes comes around and she starts screaming at me and hitting and punching me that its my fault that mom doesn't do **** for her... I told my mom about it later and she told me to ignore my sister. Another example is she hangs out with a lot of younger sibblings of my friends. Well none of these girls have phones and they all have boundries and rules. My sister rules the roost with them too and bosses them all around tells them to ride their bikes way out of bounds and has even tried to buy them phones so they can play the game too. Many parents have banned their kids from hanging out with my sister and they are now skeptical of me because of how my sister acts. Oh yeah and here is the funny part, I have all my normal rules and boundaries which if I break there is a punishment. I have times to be home and rules to follow. She has none and I have tried talking calmly to my parents about it but everytime they have not wanted to listen and if they have they tell me its because her generation is different... I am 3 years older. What can I do about this? I am tired of losing friends, being hurt by her and all

So basically..my mom thinks my dad is kinda an asshole coz he doesnt give us the attention that we need. Ever since my mom s father died, she s been in a lotta pain and she doesn t think my dad supports her enough. Please i need some advice ASAP.

My fiance is worried that any children we have will have the same issues as his 8 year old son. From what mental health professionals have told us he has some form of autism, possibly turrets syndrome, has school behavioral issues and still soils himself. I have tried to reassure him that while it's possible it's not likely. I'm hoping once the 3 of us start living together things will get better for my stepson as he's bounced around so much because his mother and her family only spend time with him when its convenient for them. And my fiance's mother is not much help in that department either, I can see where my fiance's own problems stem from. I know I just wanna reassure him that there is nothing to fear about having more children. The situation that my stepson was born into was no where near ideal, my fiance even says he loves him but wishes sometimes he had never had him.

I'm currently 6 months pregnant, and none of my family knows. I have completely removed myself from them for personal reasons. Well, i don't plan on keeping the fact that they do have a grandchild from them for forever. My mom never even mentioned her mom to me, until one day i came home from school and my grandma was sitting in the living room waiting for me... I do however plan to only have maybe the occasional lunch at most, and i don't want my child to ever be left alone with them. A few years back, my parents got into a huge fight, and cops were called, and mom said dad had child pornography on his computer. Since she's half blind, i had to be the one to go through all of my dads lude pictures in front of my mom and the officer(since he wasn't allowed to touch the computer himself). Never found anything in the computer, but she swore up and down for the longest time that he had them. But when they got back together again, she claimed she lied out of anger... it's also a known fact that my grandpa(dads dad) raped my cousin when she was a baby... I never found any proof that what my mom said was true... but i also don't see any other reason why she would say it? Is it wrong that i don't want to leave my child alone with my parents? I feel kinda bad about it, but i also don't ever want to put my child in harms way. Especially if it's something i could have stopped...

My mom got kicked out of the house, and doesn't have enough money to get her own, so we moved to my Aunts house. My aunt and uncle share a room, my cousin has a room, and my mom lives upstairs. Therefore, I sleep on the couch every night. Besides the uncomfortableness of the couch, my biggest issue is not having privacy. Since I don't have a room, the couch is my "room" but it's still the living room and everyone still hangs out there all the time. My uncle is almost deaf so he plays his violent action movies on the TV super loud until around midnight. If he's not there, he's right at the computer next to me typing, or he's trying to engage me in listening to his latest discovery. In the mornings, at about 5:30, the coffee grinder goes off in the kitchen (right next to the living room) and since there's no door, i'm instantly awake. Then I hear my uncle doing this odd thing he does where he gathers all the snot in his mouth, makes a weird slurping noise and spits it out. When I fall back asleep, I wake up shortly after due to the loud alarm of someone's phone that they left in the living room. I can't really confront them about it because they are so nice in letting me stay in their home for the past six years. It's not their fault they want coffee in the morning and they don't know they're leaving their loud phones in here. I just don't know how to get more sleep because of them being up so late and getting up so early, and I need to find a way to get a tiny bit more privacy

My mother was physically and emotionally tortured and abused from my father. He tried almost killing her and my youngest sibling. My mother was 39 weeks pregnant when my father kicked my mom's belly, cracked 3 of her ribs and cut her chest. This was 1966. No police would interfere with a domestic situation. My father abandoned us 2 years later. He left my mom with 4 very young children. They divorced 2 years later. Forward to 2016, I went to my youngest uncle's funeral. My abusive father showed up after 48 years. He wanted to reconcile. I made up an excuse and left the funeral early. I have forgiven him but can not trust him. My mother died from kidney failure in 1989. Her brothers have kept in contact with him and even befriended him on Facebook. I can't believe they are disrespecting the memory of their own sister. They say the abuse first hand with her having bruises and wounds. Should I say something or just leave them out of my life? Also, I have blocked them on my facebook account. I wondered how my father knew where I lived and my married last name. Thanks.

What will you do if your son is mildly retarded and cannot keep up with his studies, looks ugly and has no temperament or mental illness when he grows up? That is, when he was a child, he could not keep up with his study and later he became less and less interested in study. When he grew up, he became ugly and temperamental and there were many psychological diseases. What would you do?

there is a say that your family problem is not your problem. Like for example if you sister is having a mental breakdown and talks like a nut.... is it your problem? my sister never cared for me either.... she has not given a bday wish for the last 2 years. she told lies about me to her husband that I punched her. in reality, she came to me and then yelling at me and then, pulling my shirt until it torn up and then she told her husband that I punched her. and BTW her mental illness is from her self centered attitude. she doesn't care what people say.... have I said enough about this egomaniac?

I will be getting married next July and his mother is trying to be buddy-buddy with me all of a sudden when in the past she has hated me. In the past she has called me colorful words which I ignored, lied to my mother saying I am "controlling and an absolute *****" when all decisions are made by my fiancé himself with only support from me, lies to her other family members saying that I am uneducated (which makes his family think bad about me and some of them have asked me about it) when I am in college with straight A's, etc. It is very odd considering for 2 years she has been like this and she is not even caring for her son in the least by calling him "too much work" when he has very very mild ADHD and she refuses to talk to him about anything important. I have tried to talk to her to see if she is ok and I have been nice to her for all this time, but I am getting stressed with the wedding planning, college, and money issues, and general job stress. A few weeks ago she called my fiancé saying she wants to talk to me which I know will only hurt me more. What should I do? Should I talk to her and feel worse about myself or ignore her? I really really want a good relationship with her, but all she has done is hurt me.

I started working for this family a year ago. Met them off care.com and was too naive at the time to know I needed a formal work agreement or contract. Minimal pay, no benefits, didn't realize I could do better. ANYWAY - the mother is a complete nightmare to work for. She micromanages every minute of my day - right down to leaving me instructions on how she prefers me to rinse her dishes. Everyday I have 3-5 "projects" she assigns me IN ADDITION to my normal chores which are family laundry, family meals, cleaning all 3 floors, trash, NOT TO MENTION THE ACTUAL CHILDCARE. I do 12-14 hour days for them and this woman is never satisfied. Neither parent will clean, cook, or do laundry. They don't even have the human decency to put dishes in the sink for me. When I show up in the mornings, everything from the previous nights dinner is strewn all over the kitchen - open food and all. WORST OF ALL, they Refuse to pay me on time. If I don't ask to be paid, I simply don't get paid. So every 2 weeks I have to literally beg for my paycheck. They don't value me as a person or an employee and they certainly don't respect me. I desperately want to quit but I'm worried that they won't pay me what I'm owed, and this is my only job. Fortunately I have another job lined up but it doesn't start for another month. If I quit, I risk not being paid what they already owe me, I am so miserable that I dread waking up every morning. What can I do??

The answer you're thinking about is yes, but there's more to the story. In the past few months, my sister was in band and she had to attend a lot of events that were time-consuming and her grades went down and she was typically lazy at home than at band events (like she is now). My parents got mad at her and told her to quit band and she refused to listen and talked back at them. She wants to participate in marching band even though the teacher is careless and lazy, thus bringing the team away from finals competition. She showed me her schedule a month ago and I saw a few band classes and I really wanted to show it to my parents, but I realized that if they saw it, then they would get angry and start yelling at my sister downstairs while I stay upstairs for almost the whole night listening to the stressful conversations. They would develop a bad relationship with her in the house and it wouldn't be a good environment for me and my little brother (7). I'm scared about what would happen. I'm a ******* pu$$y to tell my parents. Today i realized my sister lied to my parents when she went to a "leadership camp." She said it was just a leadership camp until then her friend posted a picture with her in there, talking about a Band Leadership Camp. I got mad that she lied to her own family and I really want to tell my parents but I don't think that's a good approach to the problem, since they will directly spend all their time arguing so loud with her. I don't know what to do!

Distant relative with a violent history(beats his mom and grandma) is coming to visit for 10 days and they are staying here at my parents house. I m 26 and live here with them cause I need help with living expensive while I m in school. I cover all my own expenses except rent. But this cousin of mine is 18 but has indeed assaulted multiple women including his own mom and grandmother and one of his girlfriends. I m not comfortable around him, I don t want to welcome him or be nice to him, I ll probably just hide in my room the whole time to be honest. Am I being out of line? My mom is angry with me for telling her how I feel.

Is it considered parent alienation when I am not being informed of school field trips, sports/extra curricular activities, and what not? My sons comes over asking why I didn't show up to this or that and I just reply I didn't know about it. I feel so bad! They live an hour and a half away from me but I have no problem driving up to support them when I can. It just breaks my heart when they tell me they were sad I didn't come. I want to know if this is considered parent alienation. Thank you.

When I was 18 my sister dropped my nephew off and left when he was one I had to quit school and raise him. I'm currently staying with my dad and it's stressful because all I'm doing is cooking and cleaning after him and my brother like a maid. My nephew and I are crammed into one room he's 10 now so he needs space. I managed to finally graduate from college and wanted to move away from my family to breathe but staying here is becoming unbearable. My mom calls me everyday crying about her husband abusing her. She wants me to get a home in this state and let her stay with me and she'll help with my nephew. But I hate this state I'm in. I hate to see my mom that way she's threatening suicide . To rent is way expensive. I don't know what to do. I planned on going back to my home state to try to reconcile with the guy if my dreams who I put on hold all of this time. I'm almost 28 and I always put everyone before me. I just need to vent because I feel so lost.

Just like it says, the daughter is trying to bite the mother's leg. She growls at the mother and a few minutes ago the mother was ontop of the chair while the daughter was barking up at her. Most of the time they get along and sleep close or next to each other. Also the mother bites her leg a lot and it gets her paws all wet. I know for sure the daughter has no bad experiences in the past and for the mother as well. (this is the mother's 6th daughter).

They are cousins so they say it is a tradition in their family for good luck (2nd cousins). I was there last weekend and it seemed weird.

I'm the oldest sibling I'm lucky I wouldn't like to have a sibling 10 years older

My husband and I are expwcting a baby boy soon and I'm over the moon happy about being a mommy. However our marriage is suffering at the hands of his mother. I beleive in setting boundries for both our union and our sons life. She however does not. My mother in law crosses boundries left and right even if she's agreed to not. Like spreading my sons name all over before we got to tell anyone. She made him re propose because she wasnt right there when it happened. She talked about me to the whole town and bad mouths my family all the time. She lives 5 minutes away from us they live 9 hours away and yet she feels like they are trying to cut her out. My family doesnt know her well enough to even try. She threw a fit over soup that I made with bacon in it bcause she's a vegetarian and it wasnt fair to her. I decided ita time to delete her on facebook because of some snide remarks shes made. There is so much more.... I can never say anything or stand my ground because my husband is always afraid of it not being fair for her!!! Its not fair you dont want hwr in the delevery room when your mom gets to be. Its not fair that you dwleted her on facebook you should add her back. Its not fair you don't talk to her when I'm gone at work. Its not fair guys to his mom. I feel as if she overstepps and keeps doing it. Am I wrong to want to set boudries or to at least say something? Is my husband right is it not fair that I do these things?

It's hard to just not want to tell them all the bad and mean things they did to me, when they want to be fake, or nice. I meant a chance, but I can't help thinking they will go back to being mean again.

I'm 13 years old and my parents have put an internet restriction on my Xbox so my internet connection goes dead at 9:30 every night making my Xbox completely useless. I ask them why I have it but my 7 year old brother doesn't have it for his iPad (Which he uses much longer than me, even in the mornings BEFORE school) and why my 17 year old brother doesn't, their excuse for that is that he's nearly 18. Why do they treat me like a baby when they feel like it, but then expect me to act mature when they want me to? Is there any way I can persuade them to turn off the restrictions.
