She's 15 years old and has rampant sex with older boys and does drugs constantly. My son has showed me her own posts and other's social media posts of her drinking, smoking, sexually explicit photos, and so forth. Her younger sister has called me bawling because her sister was being violent towards her and her mother and my brother hollering his head off. One day my brother and his wife will tell me that they are at their wits end and but then claim that she's fine the next day. Their younger one has told that her sister terrifies her to death. They refuse to believe that she needs help and at this point I think it's beyond trying to convince them. I am so close to calling CPS or something but as you can imagine that's not something I want to do to my brother, but I feel like I'm out of options here.

I an a high school senior with twin step sisters my age, my step mother's daughters. They are both gorgeous with a figure to die for. They like to come in my room in the evening so I can help them do their homework. I am happy to help them as I really like them. The problem is when they come in for homework help they wear their shorty nightgown and nothing else. Everything is visible. I would NEVER EVER have sex with my sisters. However my weenee sometimes has a mind of it's own and I get a b0ner. It is totally embarrassing when this happens. They don't know I sometimes do this as I hide it from them. When I ask them to wear more clothes when the come into my room, they tell me there is no way I should be sexually attracted to them. Does this make me a perverted sick guy?

I noticed my friend tries to act like she's cold and badass. Like she doesn't have emotions and she can kill someone if it came to it. I think it's weird because I'm the exact opposite of that and her personality kind of changes out of no where. In the beginning she was blunt and it seemed like she didn't take **** from people but I think she actually did take it. Suddenly it seems like she's fully repressing her emotions. She's trying to act like she can kill anyone at any moment if the chance happens and like she doesn't care about anything. It's really weird. The other day I found out her sister didn't like me anymore and that hurt my feelings because I really liked her sister. I was telling her how I felt and she basically told me that she doesn't care and it's not her problem. She didn't want to make it her problem. And she said I was too sensitive. I wasn't expecting anything from her I just felt sad to lose a friend. A few days ago I talked to her about her coldness and she just stared at the ground. Couldn't look me in the eye as she told me she represses her emotions because she doesn't want to deal with them. She just bottles them up. I'm worried about her. I feel like she has no reason to act like this. Emotions aren't a bad thing. More every day she gets crazy cold and emotionless. She's been like this for months. I also feel like she tries to act like fictional characters. Should I be concerned or should I back off? Is this normal? We are both 23.

Occasionally, my 9 year old will come across fake information and troll posts. She actually believed that lemon juice will turn her eyes bluer. Apparently, someone uploaded a video that encourages people to believe that nonsense. She has an iPad that she likes reading stuff on. Someone online also encouraged her to come to me saying a sexually explicit word as a "dare" - she didn't know that the word was inappropriate. I'm beginning to have an issue with her being naive and believing everything she sees.

My mum has always been jealous of me, since I was 17 years old and had my first ever boyfriend and we would go on dates and days out all the time. She would tell me I have to stay in on weekends to "do homework" even if it was already done, it felt like any excuse to keep me away from him. I've since moved out with him and I'm now 20 years old and still madly in love with him. I'm 4 months pregnant and planning my baby shower which will be in 2 months. I chose a prosecco lounge which do afternoon tea and you hire out the venue for a couple hours. Told my mum and she went so mad at me saying no one will come and I should be buying a pram not hosting a baby shower (even though I'm getting a pram in 2 weeks and I'm not due until another 5 months?!??) she said she'll be mad at me if I book the venue because money needs to be spent purely on my baby and not myself. She also shouts at me saying "ITS NOT A PARTY YOU KNOW ITS A BABY SHOWER" just because I want afternoon tea? I've expressed many times that I only want 1 baby. I always have done so this could be just a 1 time opportunity for me. What do I do about a bitter sour mother? She never had a baby shower for herself and I think she's jealous I'm doing something nice for myself. I can't stand being around toxic people like her but she's my mother and soon to be grandma so I can't just cut her out my life forever, urgh

All my life I was pulled around by a,ragdoll, and dropped everything for my mom, even to go out for lunch. I put my l8fe on hold, jeopardized my careers, and always did things on her terms, and helped with her hobbies. Yet I was never respected as an adult, or allowed to have a,say. I never got help without strings,attached, or it was,a no. So I moved out this time for real and feel lije I dont want anything from her because its insulting shes suddenly wanting to get me expensive stuff to maje up for things. Yet still treats me like a child and says negative means things about my life. It's been a striggle, butI feel like I can take pride without her handouts after all this time. I mean Ive lost jobs because she refused to help me with gas sometimes, food, or borrow the car. Yet demanded I do all this stuff for her at her snap of the finger or she would raise hell.

He is sympathetic with his friend who smoked himself to cancer and now is near death but doesn't care about emotional pain. My mother suffers from alcoholism largely cause of my Dad's ignorance so I can't go to her. My siblings are teens, obviously they can't help.

Other than being unemmployed for months, stealing over seven thousand dollars from his sick widowed mother, and causing everyone around him to break down because of his emotional abuse, he's just a sucky person. I spent all day yesterday at the hospital with my mom's father. He was really really sick and is currently in the icu. It came out of no where, he was fine two days ago. It was a horrible 12+ hours there full of crying. When I got home, our front door was opened and because I was really anxioys, I asked my father twice if he was sure the cat I couldn't find didn't get out. He turned on me and just snarled "I'm not an idiot!" And things just went crazy from there. He was screaming at me and telling me he had a hard day too (one spent at home, not even coming to the ER when my mom asked him to pick up my little brother who'd been there as long as me, let alone for emotional support). I tried saying no he hadn't, all I wanted to do was find the cat and go to sleep, but he got up in my face and looked like he was going to really hurt me (he's been doing this a lot lately) and told me that since I just turned 18 I was a guest here and if I didn't act as he said, he was going to make me life a "living hell" (he has never paid a single house payment nor is his name on the lease). I got a full tuition scholarship so I'll be GONE in a few months, but I can't handle this anymore. I was trying to hide out at my grandparents from him but now I'm worrying about their healths!

Long story short, she was 1 when her mom died. Now her grandma is raising her. She doesn t want her to know of the death. So I guess my question is, should she reveal the truth about her mom s death when she gets older or keep it a secret ?

My adult child just graduated this week. There's constant arguments because she thinks she knows best, etc. from relationships to college to going out. I haven't had this problem with her except when she was 11-13 years old and going through heavy puberty. It doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon.

My boyfriend of 4 years asked me to marry him on my 28th birthday this past weekend. I said yes as I am completely in love with him but my parents say he just wants to be a legal citizen. Why would they say that? It was hurtful and demotivating at a time when I was completely happy and euphoric. He doesn't even need my help for citizenship. He is a Aerospace engineer and works for NASA. He is already here legally and is not even sure if he wants to become a citizen. he has talked about us raising our future kids in his home country of German many times. I feel like my family are just being anti immigrant. We are from the south and it scares me to think that is the case as I always saw them as more open minded.

We broke up and when I tried going back(6 months ago) he said he wouldn't forgive me for saying something about his mom when he said something to mine first(idiotic).I didn't chase him. We ran into eachother one day i expected him to ignore but he smiled and said hi.Now he keeps looking at me, making eye contact and i caught him looking at me sneakily through the door crack. He's started coming out about the same time as I do and he said hi hesitantly and smiling. Few Sundays ago I was going down the stairs and he was behind me. He was "on the phone" saying he was leaving church and would call back which wasn't necessary since church was already over. I feel like he did it so I'd know he was behind me. We walked next to eachother he smiled and said how are you. We had a few exchanges and I asked him about his sick brother. The following week he didnt show himself inside church(he's a deacon) as I was leaving he was behind me going down the stairs. I turned around just saw a glimpse of him and turned back around didn't say hi. He would look to lock eyes with me and smile when we'd be close now even though throughout church he keeps staring but now he doesn't smile anymore and is acting kind of avoidant. I stopped going to church for a month, I went and he was staring at me constantly. Then would try not to come out often like why change your behavior if it doesn't matter?

My parents bought me my first car as a surprise. Its nothing special, its very old but its a blessing to get to have one even if its ruined. Its just whenever my parents get mad at me at whatever, even for the tiniest thing, they threaten to take away the car. My dad gets mad easily while my mom just agrees with whatever he says and I could literally be quiet and they'd threaten to take away or anything I have really. Should I just buy off the car from them so it could actually be and mine and they wont have to threaten me of it? I mean will they still take away whats mine? I also wanted to add, it would probably help with whenever they bring up the " Well we bought you a car".

My mom and dad were always fighting around the house and I would have to stay with my brother and make sure he was ok and also call someone to help us. Sometimes it was so bad that the police would come and take away either my mom or dad for a night. My grandma has always been trying to rip my parents apart and they were going to get a divorce in 2007 but it never completely happened. Then in 2016 my mom came home drunk and started a fight with my dad, my aunt, and my grandparents. People got hurt and she spent a night in jail then moved in with her parents and I didn't see her for a month and then they started going through a divorce for the 2nd time, but this time actually carrying it out. My brother and I had to go to court one day and speak to the lawyers. Since then my mom has turned into an alcoholic and I have to watch out for her and she ruins my day and it ends in tears and I don't know who to talk to because idk who I can trust and has a non biased opinion in my family. I could talk to my friends but they are all privilege and seem like they had it easy but I also don't want to be over exaggerating my childhood and saying it was terrible because I know things could've been a lot worse.

Hi, I'm 18 and have no job due to health reasons. I still live at home and my mother finances everything I do - such as my gas. Recently my mother past, and my dad is a raging alcoholic (and suspected pedophile, but I digress) that only comes home to beat me and my little brother (and possibly have his way with him, but again, back to my main point) a ount once a month, and he has as much money to his name as I do. I've been pissing in bottles in my room recently because I can't physically walk to the bathroom without excruciating from my untreated fractured frenulum. I really need to get to the hospital, but have no gas in my tank. Could I use this urine to fuel my car at least to my neighbors house? I'm no scientist, but I'm sure there's calories or something left over that will spark my engine. Please, Please Help me. I drive a hybrid, but I have a phobia of electronics, and I really want to pee in it.

I'm the frustrated parent of two daughters. My younger girl wants to be like her sister, even if it's not appropriate for her age!! For example, dressing in a risqué outfit, going to prom, boyfriends and social media. Note that she isn't exceptionally mature for her age. I spend individual time with both of them. The youngest is starting to get into her sister's business. She wants to tag along with her friends and be treated like one of the 18 year olds finishing high school. I can feel the tension when we have constant talks about this. She was acting very irritated with us when we attended her sister's graduation ceremony. She's been told that she'll eventually get HER turn. Until then, age and maturity levels will be a factor to the amount of privileges she gets as a minor. My younger child only sees her older sister as someone who has more freedom than her and "it's not fair!!". She doesn't want to listen to us. How do I sort this out, communicate with her, and hopefully correct this behaviour?

I'm 16. My brother is 20, in college. Im able to go to college parties as his +1. he has me pretend to be his girlfriend so people dont guess my age. Last night we hosted a party, our parents were out and I got pretty tipsy. Danced around, had a good time. I think my bro mightve been drunk too, couldn't tell. But he kept holding my hand and went up to crash w/me in bed. I think he wanted to protect me from other guys. I half-way woke up in the middle of the night to find us naked w/him on top of me and inside me. I was more confused than scared, and idk if he remembered it was me, or if he was drunk or sober. I'd never had sex before, but it felt really good and I remember thinking to myself that it shouldn't. We both climaxed and then I fell asleep again. (At least I'm on BC, thank god) In the morning he was already up, with everyone else gone and our parents home. They have no idea. My bro and I haven't talked about it. I'm low key freaking out now cause like,I lost my virginity to my freaking brother. Was it rape? I know I didn't really consent, but hes not that kind of guy, and for all I know he was drunk too. What should I do now? I don't even know if he remembers it, or if he knew it was me...

my older brother is 24 and has had drug issues since his teen years. whether it's marijuana (legal in california, where we live and where he was last seen) or heroin. he has been living with us on and off since he graduated at 19. he has been in and out of rehab for alcohol abuse and heroin use. last we saw him was may of 2017, though he called my mother in january from a payphone allegedly in eureka. nearly a decade younger than him, it's very difficult to live without being certain if he's alive or not. i want to do whatever i can to find him. i just want to find a way to be sure if he is alive or not. does anyone know how to go about that? he has had no social media presence since may, and his phone hasn't worked since then either. with the possibility of him being on drugs and his past as a pathological liar, i'm not sure i can trust his call from eureka. i'm at a complete loss. i don't know what to do and i just want my brother back , or in the least, be able to know if he's even alive. any ideas are greatly appreciated

It is beliefs like that her family does not want a relationship with me (she was bitter at her family so tried to poison my mind against them). She taught me people are annoyed with me cause of my ADHD so I am only safe with her (she was overly protective). And among other things that One goof up and people will hate me forever (directed mainly at her family again to poison me against them). After my Mom died I got close to her family but am terrified 24/7 that I will make a social mistake and be disowned or that my cousins will discover I am 2nd rate cause I don't get asked to gatherings as often (I am over looked sometimes). How do I change this toxic belief that limits my day to day life? In defense of my Mom her father was an alcoholic so she was being protective, however it had the complete adverse result on me. My Dad is alive but not related to Mom's family (they were divorced). His family sees us weekly. I basically believe to the core that I am 2nd rate in the eyes of the extended family.

My mother is an alcoholic so I am unable to go to her. My Dad has ignorance of mentally illness and believes it is a choice (likely why my Mom drinks) and he also is very arrogant where he can do no wrong. I used to have an aunt I could go to but she has become staunch religious where anxiety is the devil trying to get in. I am religious but not ignorant like the aunt (God love her as she is a good person). So where do I go for sympathy? Only siblings are teens and only living grandparents has Alzheimers. @?----You are either too immature to have a soul and therefore are trolling or you are a worthless and despicable human being like my father who lacks empathy and is the cause of ruined lives. You are a coward either way. **** Off

Literally everyday my step mom screams at her son to clean his room and it always ends the same. She gets angry, he's in tears, and his toys are taken away for not cleaning the room. He's only seven. Anyways, last week I decided to help him clean his room and figure out where to put all his stuff in an organized fashion and he has since kept it clean. She found out yesterday that I helped him and told me that I was enabling his behavior and making it so he won't ever learn on his own, and so she told me that I'm not allowed to go to one of friend's Sweet 16 tomorrow! I called my mom and she said she would call my dad about it since he's currently visiting one of his best friends that live out of town. It doesn't make sense, all I did was help him clean the room!

my 3 year old son put his arm on a light bulb and it left a burn. I put burn cream and wrapped it up. Now his dad is threatening to take him from me.

My dad is quite conservative. We live in Eastern Europe and he believes that women should and have to cook because its the tradition and their duty. He told me that I'm going to be a housewife and that if I'm a female thats basically my future (not saying theres something wrong with it, I just don't want to be one). He said that when I get married, my future husband won't put up with that and will divorce me and I told him to stop shitting me. I didn't finish my sentence but he realized what I was about to say and now he's mad. It was a slip of the tongue. What do I do now?

For the past year, I've been living with my mom because I've worked as a graduate assistant at my university. However, I am transferring to a different school in the next state over and I need to gain residency by residing in the state for atleast 1 year. In finding an apartment and using my stipend and financial aid as income, I was told that I need a cosigner. So, the plan is for my boyfriend and I to live together. He has never rented before and doesn't have rental history. I am 26 and he is 24. He's only had roommates. He's on a student visa and been here for 5 years but has never rented. He asked if I can apply and if he can apply later. At first, he wanted us to apply together, but he said that he wanted me to get approved first and then he can get on the lease afterwards. I don't see the difference if he will have a lack of rental history regardless. So, I know that my mom will not be happy to know that I am wanting to live with my boyfriend of 9 months. She has never met him, but she knows about him. My dad and brother knows about him. We talk about him all the time. So, I want my mom to cosign and I don't think it would be a problem, but she probably wouldn't if she knew a man would live with me and he didn't actually apply to be a leaseholder. I don't want to keep that from her because I know she will visit me. I haven't told my boyfriend that I need a cosigner. What to do?
