I saw on the pictures my cousins were there and one even has a picture with my Mom. Everyone was there but my siblings and I. I am only 11 so I can't drive or bike alone places. Yet, it was so unfair and the cousin in the photo is only 8 so younger then me. Most the otherones are my age and a little older. Only one is a big kid (high school). Why am I left out?

My parents don't like family events and family stuff but I really do. Since I am not asked I feel like a 2nd rate relative.

my dad walked in on me changing and now I want to kill myself! I was butt *** naked *****😭 fml

Last night we were in the car just talking, and she was crying and saying she wanted to live with me she is 18 and I'm 17 she always talks about how she hates living at home and i always thought it was the chores she has to do because her mom is very lazy and doesn't ever do anything around the house. But she said it's much more than that and i asked why? And she said i can't tell you, i just can't. And i i begged her to tell me because no matter what we had promised to tell each other everything and i needed to know what was going on. She told me and she started crying she said she was in 4th grade and it also happened in middle school she is now a senior and has never told anybody this and I'm on this situation and i see her dad differently and want to help or talk to my mom about this but my gf said she doesn't want me to tell anyone and doesn't want her senior year to be ruined. I just want to help i told her and tried to explain to her i want to do something and she still says no what should i do talk to my mom? My gf worry's that her mom would die if she found out because her health is really bad, she is extremely overweight and she feels her mom would over eat and no care anymore. I just need advice. This all happend when she was in the 4th grade and in middle school she said, i asked her the last time he did and she said it was when she was in middle school.

I talked to this girl in school and a flirtationship kind've developed and it seems something developed. She'd tease me a bit. Find any way to compliment me. She wanted selfies next to me whenever we talked and found any way for me to get closer to her. Before every picture she told me to get closer to her. She tried to get me to notice the one day she wore something that showed cleavage because her friend asked me for a picture with them. Well she'd send me the picture for me to post on Facebook like it then tell me the next day she likes it. She'd get red and couldn't look me in the eyes while talking and looked around but had a big smile on her face. Giggle and say my name when I looked at her. Laugh loudly at my jokes. She couldn't start a conversation on her own so she'd just reply to stuff I say to other people, have me repeat stuff to her, ask questions based on stuff I said or laugh loudly. She'd hold long never ending eye contact and stare into my eyes after we're done a conversation she's still smiling and staring at me when I looked away. She liked a picture with my dad tagged it so it notified him then tells me she likes it the next day. Well we went into a period of separation, going to college. Well I have a post announcing my dads death. Herself and her mom like the picture and comment on it. Well I see her and look at her. She's drunk in a car laughing and stops what's she's doing and stares deep into my eyes doesn't stop, has her head tilted and widened her eyes and raised her eyebrows and and bowed her head. I felt funny so I look away because I did NOT want to give her the idea I was making a move on her and she doesn't stop staring after. Well after that her and her mom unlike the post and I see her months later she acts real weird and has a bit of an attitude I'm working with her. Well I was putting on a jacket she's talking to someone else but faces me and stares at me I felt it and she was looking at my arms lips eyes I just make eye contact ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.1.04

When I was little, sometimes my mum was nice and sometimes she was horrible. So I never really know if this was abuse or if I was just being a naughty child. When I was in nursery I used to be scared to ask the teacher to go to the toilet, I don't know why I just was. So I kept wetting myself, so my mum would give me cold showers as a punishment. My mum also used to hit me on the bum naked, sometimes multiple times at once. I remember one time she shouted at me saying 'if you don't stop crying I'll hit you again!!' But I was scared and hurting and I couldn't stop so my mum hit me about 5 or 6 times . Twice she has pinned me up against the wall and squeezed lightly on my neck like she was going to strangle me. She used to shout really loud and scream at me. After she hit me, she used to blame her sore hand on me because I made her hit me apparently. She's said stuff to the whole family too like '**** off, **** all of you I'd be happy living on my own without you!' But now she lives by herself in a flat and she says she is lonely. Anyway that's basically it thanks guys.

I'm in my mid twenties, I first moved out at 17 because my father made me. I moved near a small town near a state park where I lived homeless for 4 years and survived on food stamps and food rationing. I starved 2 days out the month . I tried to work at a warehouse but walking the distance I had to walk and then standing up all day working pretty much disabled me from being able to move for at least 2 days by the time I'd get back to my tent. One person tried to take me in at one point but I had to leave there, she was a motel owner and she said I could stay if I took care of all the rooms and some of the peoppe she brought over wanted to have gay sex with me. I found out she advertised me online. I told her I can't do it (I'm not gay) so she made me hit the road. My father and mother broke up I found out when contacting them. She said it's ok to move back in. So I took busses back and have lived with my mother since. People tell me I'm too old to be living with parent . I can't currently afford to buy or even rent a apartment in this area, my mother doesn't really care how long I stay with her but I will never be able to start my independent life like this. My mother wants to see me have kids soon she says and start family. Should I move out so I can progress better in life ?

I'm 15 and have a 16 year old boyfriend. My brother is 20 and still lives at home because he is a junkie and can't keep a job, so mom and my stepdad are helping him get detoxed at home with private nurses and doctors that come home. I love him, but he is irritating me by always checking up on me. My parents weren't home and I thought he wasn't home either so I sneaked my boyfriend into my room. We were just making out nothing far from just make out and touching. There he was barging into my room and started screaming like a maniac that I had no respect for the house or myself. He even wanted to beat up my boyfriend and then he told mom and got me grounded. Why can't he just let me be? He's always in my business. How do I stop him from being so over protective?

I never wanted to be a father. I kept my kids homeschooled for 9 years. I refuse to teach them to drive and I refuse to get them an ID and an ssn. I want to see them homeless on the streets, I alienate them compared to my sisters kids. My sister taught hers how to drive, she did not ignore hers everyday like I do mine and my nieces and nephews aren't and won't be homeless like my kids. What is so wrong with my tough love? Public transport is 30 miles from us

I am a man of visions, I have for seen things that have came to pass and known things I had no logical way of knowing, normally I don't know a time just that an event will occur almost as if fixed ahead of time. My life may seem bizarre to you, but near enough two years ago I experienced a tragedy in which I lost a family member to an armed police raid, it took me a long time to recover mentally, but I now feel what happened was meant to so as I could be on the path I am today. I am part of a new revolutionary movement and have lived in an egalitarian collective for sometime, we believe the entire world should be a commune without the coercive forces of today, and it may seem impossible to overthrow the powers that are but I see no other way... I genuinely do not forsee our own defeat as much as I am afraid of it, does such a feeling set our victory in stone? Or am I naive? I am afraid, but will die for my beliefs if it's needed. I am uncertain of how victory will occur, but I feel it must occur, defeat is simply not viable as I see it. The message we teach can liberate the Earth and together we can be free from fear and bondage!

I just stuck my finger in your mouf.

Im 15 when i was 13 my mom told me i was the reason she wanted to put a shot gun to her head and blow her brains out. i never did anything wrong i was just to much to handle i guess. she is still having problems with depression to this day. And my dad if i yell at my sister or dont have good enough grades my dad either yells and swears at me or trys to get into a fight with me. recently i have been in some trouble i got caught smoking pot. and hes been pissed off telling me i have issues no one likes me and that i wont succeed in life. then the other day i guess i pissed him off to much and he started throwing stuff at me came over and started shoving me and so i had enough and shoved him back. he grabbed me and i threw him to the ground and walked away and said dont touch me. then later he came up and said to punch him right in the face i refused and walked away. and then i went into my room and locked the door and he started yelling at me saying that im probably doing pills in my room but i never did pills so idk what to do about everything what should i do

My cousin s father has a brother, and so that makes them an uncle to them and all. But, what would I call him? And I don t know if this makes any difference to the answer, but my mom is the sister of the woman married to my cousins father.

I've always been socially a few years behind and my interests are often younger than expected. I can't relate to most young teens. I never wondered much about things like dating, sexuality, peers, etc. I'm still more like a 12 year old girl. Back in my toddler years, they insisted I get tested for Mild Autism or developmental disability. The preschool teacher thought I was "odd" or delayed in some way but she couldn't put a finger on what it was. It was apparently hard to diagnose me because I'm a girl, not a boy (as mostly boy children have autism).

when i found the pictures i thought maybe it was just some odd mistake that my dad didn t even know about. then i dug around, and saw that these photos were downloaded from emails and were last opened around 6 months ago. maybe it s just unfounded paranoia telling me something s wrong, but even so i can t stop thinking about it. am i supposed tell somebody about this? my siblings? my mom? am i supposed to tell him??

My son has birthday coming up. He is teenager and I want to know what he should get. He tells me he want a "bad draggin" but I do not know what is it? He tells me is a website, but I do not understand

I hear them having sex every night upstairs but they forbid me from doing it. My dad gave me a nasty look when he caught me jerking off because he walked in without knocking. It's like they don't think I have human needs. I can't have sex at her house because her parents check on us every 20 minutes and if they aren't home her annoying snitch little sister is always there to make sure we don't do anything. I'm 19 almost 20 in 2 months. My parents even threatened to install cameras in my bedroom. They charge me way too much rent so there's barely any money for me to save up to move out. So I either A) get thrown out on my a$$ with nothing, or B) I'm stuck here because it's nearly impossible for me to save money. My 21 year old sister still leaves here and they let her freeload just because she has a baby. She's never expected to do anything around the house, I'm expected to do everything. Yea she does have a job but she don't have to pay rent. My sister doesn't even have a house key so if I'm on the other side of town at my girlfriend's house or something, my parents call me and force me to drive all the way home to unlock the door for her. It's bullsh*t. My dad caught me smoking pot in the backyard with my friends last year and grounded me for 3 months, but just 2 days ago I caught him smoking pot. He doesn't know that I saw him though and I wish I confronted him. How do I get them to make my life easier?

I'm 15, today my dad was trying to teach me something and there's just something about what he does, I don't know what it is, but it kinda annoys me. I can learn from my mom or grandparents and they're just fine. I told my dad and he asked what it was and I said something that was very wrong. I told him he acts like my friend too much. He doesn't. I love that he does. I was just annoyed. It's been 5 hours and he avoids me and won't talk to me. What do I do? He's never done this.

...i mean logically, i think death sounds better as the days go by. Anyways... I am trying to learn the guitar but that does noise and i cant do noise! I tried writing a book but my parents thought i was spending way too much time on the computer....!!? I can't go out with my friends most of the time because there is no one to drive me...and i cant have friends over all the time because my parents dont like me taking over the house and confining them.... I cant spend too much time on electronics to make time pass either...because i get accused of 'talking to guys' or watching some messed up things or idk something (i am not guessing...they actually tell me that and when i try to prove them the opposite they don't completely believe me...they do to some extent but you know that they will never stop thinking the other way around) hmmm...idk what am i supposed to do? Should i do nothing and just sit there? Wow i wrote so much! Huh huh.. Props to those who read..anyways it is nothing serious just wanted to know what are ya'll thoughts and if i am asking for too much or if i am exaggerating .. Thank you!

I have a best friend, we've known each other for 2 years. Shes a lot older than me but we get a long so well, we are kindred spirits. She's extremely special to me and she has said I am to her.. we talk on the phone every day, multiple times a day, we enjoy each other. Always sending each other gifts or little things we collect from places, we make each other happy, shes the sweetest friend I have. Well, we are always texting, we always send selfies of where we are or what we are doing. Not every day but like one selfie every other week or so. A couple of weeks ago she stopped sending selfies, it was only me sending. Of course I brought it up playfully, asking if she could send a picture of her with the mug I bought her. Shes always said "I will later" or "if I feel not so tired this weekend I will".. its been 4 weeks. It's not a huge deal to me, but why doesn't she want to send one? On the phone today she said "You already have a picture of me from weeks agoooo - when I was prettier". Shes a gorgeous lady and I tell her but why doesn't she want to send one?

Like if I was married I wouldn't mind letting my husband see his parents. But idk why my aunt does like this.

Like my dad's father use to hit him and hit his mom. My dad's mom ran away and then he married another woman. My dad tried to hit my mom and my sister, and mom almost called the police on him so dad stopped hitting. My dad would have hit my mom and me if my mom wasn't strong, and all my dad is just smoke and insult mom. He uses money to buy cigarettes instead of giving it to my mom. He tried to sell the house and divorce my mom so he could marry another woman. Like why? Why does my dad lash out on us instead of trying to enjoy life and be a good father?

So I am an 8th grade girl, and my mom is my social studies teacher. Being social studies, we talk alot about social justice and current events, so my mom tends to share alot of stories about her personal life. Anyway, last week I had my teen physical (Also keep in mind I hate people seeing me naked, and have terrible anxiety.) The day before my mom told the class that she wouldn't be there cuz of my doc appt. I got a little embarassed, but nothing too bad. At the physical, I had to strip and get A LOT of testing done (Due to late puberty development or whatever...) but I freaked out- started screaming/crying. The appt was only supposed to be an hour or less, it lasted WAY longer than that. When we got back the next day, my class asked why she wasn't there, and she told them THE WHOLE STORY, even the medical stuff. Everyone was laughing and I was super embarassed. Later I tried talking to her about it, but she dropped it, saying it was nothing and i brought this on myself (which I guess is kinda true) But now I am too afraid to talk to her about anything... At what point is this an invasion of privacy, or is this totally fine?

So I live with my brother and mom. Both me and mom pay for the bills because brother has kids that he has to send the bills to. I am stuck because I have anxiety problems and I can't live alone but I hate the fact that I am the one paying most of the bills. Right now, I am unemployed so I have to use loans to pay the bills. I have always worked two jobs and paid for the bills. Everytime my mom talks to him about the bills, he runs away with his car and now I tried to talk to him about the bills, he went to his friend's house. How can I let go of my anxiety and fear, be brave enough to live alone? I am such a scary cat

I've literally had it with my mom and her constant belittling! It all started in hs in my grades were slipping due to depression and bullying. I even broke down and told her about my depression when it was beginning to become too much for me to handle alone. She lied and said she'd take me to see a doctor but never did. I brought this up to her later and her response was "Well you're older now take yourself everybody goes though things not just you." Anyways I went to a community college after hs, my grades are great and I'm apart of the honors society. However, not once did she congratulated me. Instead she mentioned that I better keep my GPA up and not be lazy because I need to get a scholarship. When I'll register for classes she always make negative remarks just doubting me. Recently I applied to a 4 year and got a scholarship for my grades and yet she never said she was proud of me. Just found an opportunity to belittle me by saying well all I heard you do is complain about every class you took, you need to suck it up when you go to this school. It's like what college student doesn't complain about classes? I still did the work and got an A in the course! I just want my mom to be proud of me guys. I sucks that even in public she'll make side remarks and jokes about how I'm lazy and never do anything.I go to school,work and then sleep during whatever free time I have or I go to the gym. How can I approach my mom about how I feel?

Hello! I'm 19 & full-time student. I live at home, but I am responsible for my tuition, books, car insurance, phone bill, gas, etc. Parents are strict/psycho. One of them is experiences actual substance and mental disorders. They get mad whenever I hangout with friends. They do not like my friends even though they did nothing wrong. They always blow up my phone and think I'm with a guy. They have low patience. They track my phone. They call my work sometimes to see if I am there. They used to go through my phone. I'm 19. I would like to be free and have a fun social life, but they do not trust me. I want to live while I am young. I want to go on road trips. I want to live. I will be 30 before I know it. I cannot sneak out or lie. I live in California. The cost of living is high. I cannot work to make a living income because I study. I I try telling them I am an adult, but it always goes back to them telling me that must follow their rules if I am in their home. I am unhappy with this environment, but I am so thankful for the housing. If you are an adult who has lived life, what advice could you give me? Anyone can answer, I would appreciate your insight: Would you move out of your parent's home to have freedom? Live life while young and be free? Live on your own but end up in debt just to have your own place and space? Or would you jeopardize your friendships and youth by staying at home? Save thousands on living expenses, but risk your youth life? Thanks so much!

We have two girls ages 5 and 2. Whenever I go out with the girls I try to get them toys or anything similar if I choose to. Like I tell them both you each can pick out a coloring book or a toy under $10 etc I dislike favoritism because my Sister and I were treated like that by our Mom and Grandparents. I feel it's fair to get one kid something and the other not just single one out Anyways my Husband their Dad went to the store and took our oldest and got her a toy and not our 2 year old and I told him it's unfair to our youngest that she didn't get a small toy and I said now our oldest cannot play with her toy because our youngest got singled out. If you say oh they can share. They don't like too, but when it comes to their birthdays I still get each something so they don't feel left out.

I'm gonna tell them if she really wants to get married, we can get married sight unseen like that TV show "Married at First Sight." And she can't back out if she doesn't like what she sees.
