He kisses on the lips and asks my younger siblings (8 and 11 years of age, girl and boy respectively) to sleep in his bed with him when they're at his apartment. He did this with me when I was younger and I don't remember anything from my developmental years. I'm beginning to worry for their safety, yet I can't piece together why. I have been told to refrain from going over to his house on account of my PTSD from my early childhood. He is verbally and psychologically abusive, and has threatened me on multiple occasions. Despite this, I want them to have a relationship with their father. I've helped raise them, and I want nothing more than for them to have a relatively normal childhood. If he's hiding something, however, I will take action against him. I have my own bitterness towards him, but my siblings needn't fear him without warrant. I just want to be sure that they're absolutely safe. I don't want them to have the same issues I have later in life. Is my estranged father's affection normal and/or appropriate?

I grew up affluent, and quite sheltered. In the white world. However, I've always been a free-spirit and kind of the wild child or scapegoat role in my family. For about a year now I've been with the most amazing guy who is half peurto rican. (I'm only mentioning this because I'm catching the vibe my dad is a little closeted racist) I've never felt more loved, protected, respected, and overall happy in my life. I didn't know it was possible to be this in love, to the point where for the first time in my life I dream of being married. I'm nearly 24, and have been in a handful of other serious relationships. Here's the thing, he has an extensive criminal record (no felons) just a bunch of **** that often happens when you grow up on the streets. This absolutely terrifies my parents, and my father refuses to even meet him. My boyfriend has introduced himself to my mother, and he was so sweet to her and even gave her a hug. She's not as worried anymore. My dad also gives me **** over the fact my boyfriend had a daughter when he was 16 who is now 12. But I see how he loves his daughter so much, and I think it is a beautiful thing that actually makes me love him more. My father initially told me he couldn't finaically help me out anymore if I didn't break up with him. I told him how that was very hurtful, but how that I understood that was his choice, and that I would have to pick up more hours at work. Two days later, my dad said he will still financially help.

It happens over and over again. You think you're getting along. They say something offensive. and they lol

I'm referring to a platonic relationship?

I'm 18 and I have never had a boyfriend or kissed anyone, my friends are always telling me stuff and I feel really bad. I just want to know if I'm the only person in this situation.

Lets get right to the point. I know a girl who I was just informed has been the victim of ongoing 2 year old online harassment, with multiple fake profiles (after getting blocked) on facebook. I dont know when, but it seems like this person has also begun stalking the girl irl, he mentioned seeing the girl doing stuff with her friends etc, you get the idea. Now, the girl calls the police, and they say they cant/wont di anything unless the girl presses charges, but we dont even know who this person is and even if we did, that is financially impossible for her. That said, I was asked for help. I thought I should track his IP down by having him click on a link, but finding anything about him will then again require the law s attention, and we dont have the luxury of time; I fear for her well being. My hands feel tied, and I can t stand for this. What would you have us do? Thank you in advance.

I'm hosting so im obviously going. I don't think it'll happen but i know of spin the bottle. We're all close friends. 14-15 years old. We're all sleeping in this one guest house so we'll be separated from parents but not fully. Just looking for ideas. We also have tennis and a basketball hoop

Sono un ragazzo di 16 anni e in classe mia c'è questa ragazza. Inizialmente ero attratto solamente dal suo aspetto fisico, indipendentemente da altri fattori. Poi però ha iniziato pure a piacermi caratterialmente... Più che altro mi è piaciuto molto come si è sempre comportata nei miei confronti... Mi ha sempre sorriso, palrato o guardato negli occhi con un volto interessato, o almeno questa è una mia impressione, soprattutto adesso. Però qualche mese fa avevo scoperto che era fidanzata... Di conseguenza mi ero sentito un po' triste, e non ho parlato più di tanto con lei; fino a qualche giorno fa... Quando lei una mattina ha deciso di sedersi di banco accanto a me, iniziando a parlare per prima lei. Questo accaduto mi ha dato speranza... Più che altro spero che lasci il ragazzo... Finché starà con lui io non avrò intenzione di farmi veramente avanti, non lo reputo giusto anche per quel povero cristo di quel ragazzo... Quindi boh, io sono ormai da mesi innamorato di lei e non riesco ancora a pensare a qualcun 'altra, ho voglia di vivere esperienze con questa ragazza, non con altre... Però non voglio che lei tradisca il suo ragazzo...

I was mentioning the potential of me dating someone else and he got really weird. He just replied saying he was extremely depressed and was going to isolate himself then said goodbye to me. Me and this guy are NOT together - we're both single, but we have hooked up. I just mentioned the IDEA of me maybe getting with this other guy. He also has made other comments about being against me dating the other guy (telling me it would be pointless, there's no reason to, etc. just any reason to tell me I shouldn't get with the other guy). Why would he behave like that... especially the depressed part? Should I be concerned he mentioned isolating himself? I wasn't meaning to hurt him and didn't say anything bad (it isn't like I told him I hated him or something) and I never said I WAS dating anyone. I just said I was CONSIDERING getting with the other guy. I did send a text and apologized if I had done anything to make him feel bad but he hasn't answered. I'm a little worried, but I know he might answer tomorrow or something. I just feel kind of bad about all this. I mean I wasn't trying to hurt him. I was just saying that I may consider getting together with that other guy. I'm single, so it isn't like I would be breaking up with someone or anything. I guess maybe he likes me so he doesn't want me to date anyone else? I have no idea.

I was talking to a women for 3 months, I finally asked her to hang but I didn't plan anything. I fell asleep the first time and she was upset but gave me another chance. The second time, my workplace called me, I needed the job. I didn't get back to her until late. And she basically told me to F*ck off and blocked me. To be honest I wanted this women to chase me. Why did she block me? Do you think she was being mean because I needed the job anyways

Am I a flirt? I'm an 18 yr old guy I'm kind've shy but. With some girls I'll make eye contact with them and keep looking back. Take a ride from them if offered. I'll try to compliment some by saying something like "You're irresistible the guys are fighting for you" as a half joke. I'll try to make eye contact and initiate eye contact. If I get a gut feeling I'll move closer into their personal space while talking if they are open. Try to compliment them. Make them laugh. I'll be friendly talk to them. Say they're short stuff like that. I'll do the heart gesture with my hands to them. I've done this stuff for years. I have female teachers I'll talk to them and try to make them laugh and I will say stuff like you never age to them. I offered to help one out when she needed help moving. I'll act real shy or avoid eye contact with them stuff like that. Try to impress them I'd tell them "I'm six foot". Stuff like that. I'd laugh at female teachers jokes. Tell them they can be my women crush Wednesday. Sometimes just really shy. ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.1.04

Back in February of this year, a case was opened to investigate the environment that my children live in because of a dispute between my MIL and I (who I have had to live with for way too long now). Things have gone smoothly ever since then, but CPS will not close the case. I have done everything in my power to give them all of the information they could possibly need. I even began seeing a psychiatrist and therapist to sate their requests. My psychiatrist never picked up the phone and told me they would have to text him to reach him. So I told them that. A month ago the case worker said that she confirmed with her supervisor that pictures of my prescription medicines from him were proof enough that I do actually attend sessions with a psychiatrist. She took a few pictures of my kids for the 4th time, then left. Today two entirely different CPS caseworkers showed up at my door without even calling or anything, to take even more pictures and tell me that they still need to confirm that I see a psychiatrist. I thought all of this had been confirmed. My kids don't have a scratch on them. This should not have continued for 5 months - are they getting paid to torture me?
