Question: I'm 39. why did my brother call me kiddo when he called for first time in 10 years? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 12:07 PM PDT A doctor also called me this |
Question: Do you think I should cut contact with family after I move away? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 11:58 AM PDT With members I don't get along with? |
Question: Is this normal? Should I step in? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 11:36 AM PDT My husband and I have a 16 yo daughter. We also have a 5 year old son But my husband always thinks– he can raise everyone's kids better than they can – just ask him. We have had many struggles and most of them revolve around our daughter.She is a great kid – she has never been in trouble at school, has never tried drugs, gets decent grades and is very polite to everyone. I have always been a 'consequences not punishments' parent. I believe there are rules and there are consequences or rewards for behavior but I disagree with him on his harsh rules and punishment. He will take the most innocent mistake and blow it way out of proportion. One recent example is 'slamming' the truck door. He claims he told her not to slam the door 2 times in a 3 day period and then on the 3rd time, he blew up and grounded her for two weeks. He says she disobeyed him and she "never" listens to him or respects his authority, he says that she is in her teens but he will get her to the way he wants her to behave. he makes her say:"yes sir/ no sir" He doesn't let me parent her because he says:"a man should parent, and a woman shouldn't deal with this" i tried and talk to him but he says that she is his kid"trust me about her" |
Question: Why womene get jealous of beautiful woman? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 11:07 AM PDT Like if i look pretty one day I get envious stares from other girls whether family or relatives. And i see beautiful women in general get envied. |
Posted: 09 Aug 2018 10:30 AM PDT I'm asking because I'm trying to understand a friend. Background: she is black and did not have much support from her parents growing up. She lived with extended family since she could remember. Her uncle sexually abused her as a child and now at the age of 26, she lives with one male cousin (in his 50s) and other female relatives. There is one teenager and a few children who live in the home as well. She recently brought to our attention that this cousin has been on and off pressuring her to engage in sexual acts with her since age 14. And because she is scared of him as the male figure of the home, she is not brave enough to disobey or leave. That is not to say that she did not have a chance out. She went to college for 4 years and lived away from home, but chose to live with her family again after graduating. Help me understand this situation... Edit: she claims the sexual acts are still ongoing, and they are on and off for months at a time. |
Question: How should I handle a rude little cousin? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 10:27 AM PDT My little cousin is 7 and I'm 16, and as much as I want to act like a kind role model, it's getting hard. She does things all the time to get on my nerves, like today I got food for me to eat, and she snatched it from me, licked it, and said "It's mine now." And then laughed in my face when I told her how that wasn't nice. If an adult tells me to do something like clean up, she'll laugh and taunt me about how she doesn't have to do anything. I know she's a kid so I try not to get mad about the small things but she never listens and it's getting kind of old. I thought she just wanted a reaction out of me, so I tried ignoring her but she still won't stop. Any advice? |
Question: My mom's breaking me down? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 09:53 AM PDT She gets irritated at my nephew (She's raising him) And when that happens if I try asking her to please make me food or something she'll get mad and be like "Yeah fine whatever" And If I don't help her clean up a mess I DIDN'T MAKE she gets mad and says "We're living in f***ing filth" We have a clean house, far from filth. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells 24/7 with her. I'm getting yelled at daily, and It's tearing me apart. I don't even feel like waking up half of the time. |
Question: Should i hate myself and kill myself because everybody hates me? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 09:05 AM PDT I am an adult guy, 31 and family really hates me. Though they don't say they do. Dad hates me so bad,that he hates speaking to me,and if he do,he pretends to care about me. He only cares about my sister, who can yell at mom and it's ok. But if i defend myself it's an issue. My mom and i have always had the better relationship, but she hates me. I am living with parents,but not because i want to.I am searching for a job, but i also had some anxiety issues, as i deal with anxiety,and have a criminal background. But i help out anyway that i can, i but i am blamed and hated no matter what. Dad yells at me, and if i defend myself it's an issue. I have also talked to him about, i feel i am stupid and dumb, but feel worst talking to him, because i feel like an idiot talking to him. I try not to offend people, but people have no regards for me. Dad doesn't care what he says to me, or how he treats me. I try and do what i can for people. When i'm out in public, i eel i am hated, i feel people have negative assumptions of me. This doesn't help my anxiety. And it doesn't help that i am Black. |
Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:45 AM PDT cool and beautiful her daughters are. She labels anyone who does the job better than her as mean or having other issues. OK-I know that people are entiitled to their apoinions. I wouldn't care if she did her job perfectly well. She does an OK job, but finding her attitude and excuses stressful on my otherwise stressful job. Not helping me there. Problem is that when I told her that not everyone else is the problem, she got defensive. Then she was going around being extra friendly to everyone, bringing food in and offering her home for social work gatherings. I couldn't believe it, because I know that she thinks herself so much better than all others there. She knows that I know the truth about her and I'm sure she talks negatively about me because of that fact. Problem is EVERYONE thinks she is so adorable and nice. I don't say anything, but am put off everytime I see her. Do you work with people like this? Why doesn't anyone else see her for what she is? |
Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:27 AM PDT My daughter shows unusual development that is unexpected for her age. She may have stunted growth and increased mental health issue risk. The average age to start is 12-13 years old. She already has gotten periods, breast budding, emotionally cranky, and a growth spurt. No one else in our family has gone through these changes this young. I'm unsure of what's causing this precocious puberty. Is this an issue big enough to take her to the doctor? |
Question: My brother left marijuana in his room should I tell her mom or am I just being a tattle? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:17 AM PDT I hear it's really bad for us and mom said we're not allowed to have any even though it's legal in the state. I'm 16 and my brothers 18. |
Question: How do I get out of helping someone in the family who’s just gonna take advantage of me? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:08 AM PDT It is a cousin of mine comes from a dysfunctional family situation. I feel sorry for her but she's coming to me nonstop for favors. Even her mother warned me that her daughter is a liar. Her father is an alcoholic and that led to various dysfunctions that it made her emotional growth studded. She's 22 and living on her own for the first time away from her father and mother. Her mother tends to be bitter towards her. |
Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:05 AM PDT When times are tough it helps he to move furniture from one side of the house to the other and then a few weeks later move it back. Now every three or four years she makes my dad move. When times are tough like when my grandfather died last year my mom immediately wanted to move and indeed they moved last week half a mile down the road. What might be the psychology behind the irrational behavior of my mothers and my dad enabling it? I do know my mom has a very unhealthy friend that likes to decorate also. That friend is unhealthy for other reasons down as she's malicious (The friend). |
Question: Why my aunt analyze me?(sometimes)? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:02 AM PDT She analyze like a psychiatrist..but shes a writter from foreign affairs...i dont know anything about her...im only 19...do i have mental illness she just analyze my behaviour..she even looks at my face...to know my mental condition... Why does she analyze me? you know i used to love a girl shes not mine anymore...is it becoze why she analyze for that? |
Question: Is it bad that I don’t love my mother anymore? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 06:43 AM PDT For the past 5 years my mom has had a severe alcohol addiction. It started when I was 10 (I'm 15 now) and back then I was really upset and worried about my mom. My family and I tried getting her therapy but she just refused to go after a few sessions. I cried all the time because I loved her and didn't want to see her drunk and passed out every day. But the other day I realized something about myself that shocked me. She got really drunk and fell down in the bathroom and her nose started bleeding and when I found her she was passed out drunk and there was blood all over her face. I wasn't even surprised so I simply cleaned up the bathroom and her face, checked if she was breathing and dragged her by the ankles into her bedroom. I didn't cry. I wasn't upset. I didn't even care. I wasn't even that concerned. This has been happening for 5 years now and I guess I've just gotten used to it. Yet I'm still horrified at the fact that I just don't love my mother anymore. I just don't have an emotional connection with her at all. My father is always working since my mom obviously doesn't have a job, and that's not his fault at all, but when I do see him he's usually stressed out about work and takes it out on me. I have found motherly figures in the older girls on my cross country team instead of my actual mother. I don't even really know her anymore since I only ever see her drunk or passed out. Does this mean I'm a bad person? Am I going to hell? |
Posted: 09 Aug 2018 06:08 AM PDT She's 24, I'm 15. Long story short, she took away and hid my keys. Do I have a right to take some of her valuables and hide them till she gives back my keys ? All you have to know about her is that she's a retarded narcissist with unstable temper and is easily offended. I am not gonna go into depth. If I had described it, you would've thought it was nothing that serious to start a conflict over. But I'm tired of her constantly ridiculing me, calling me names, making fun of me, then crying for help because she can't fix something or she needs me to carry something. Honestly, I'm so mad that if she ***** me over again, I'll knock her out. And I've tolerated this for a very long time, but now I simply can't anymoree. Everything I now want is for her to start messing with me again, but this time I wont just sit silent and actually defend myself from this monster. I'd be moooore than happy on beating her up. |
Question: How do I stop the fears of my abusive mother somehow returning? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 04:25 AM PDT I constantly fear this mother will return and seek to destroy me. Have not seen her since 1997. |
Question: Husband distances himself from family since our marriage? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:37 AM PDT it was gradual but I noticed he started distancing himself from family members. And everytime I try to make him socialize with them he wants me to drop the subject. First it was his mother. she is one of those controlling moms. I tried my best to not make her feel left out. Because most times He was stuck having to choose between the two of us. I always tried to patch things up whenever she got upset at him. And believe me she would get upset at the smallest things. Last time She was upset because we were talking politics and we did not agree with her. I guess she felt that he should have taken her side, so she left. She has never cut off contact this long. And usually when she does I tend to reach out to check on her. This time she didn't respond. Then it was his grandparents. Whom are very nice to us. his grandma invited us to her birthday she was having a party and he decided we would not go. i apologized to her after. but since that incident his grandfather started acting differently with us. I tried to mediate and get him to talk to them but he embarrassed me and refused to talk to them. I told him he was wrong. His aunt recently died and they all showed up at the funeral and did not inform him. he found out through a family friend who called him while attending the funeral. The person also told him that his grandfather said he was going to let him know but obviously he did not.i told him we should go see his cousin to express our condoleances. But refused later on. |

Posted: 09 Aug 2018 01:51 AM PDT He doesn't have a college degree, but is enrolling in a online four yr college degree program, and has just finished real estate school, and in a few months will take the licensing exam. Is this good for him or since he is 40 it is to late? He said he is tired of odd jobs and want a career job that pays a annual salary, retirement plan. |
Question: Daughters father is making coparenting living hell? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 01:29 AM PDT I haven't seen my baby father in months due to lack of respect. I told him, for now on my mother's going to be picking up our child from his home. My family and him are cool. Tell me why he doesn't want my mom picking her up, only me? |
Posted: 08 Aug 2018 11:37 PM PDT My uncle is emotionally abusive. He changed once we moved in together – before that I thought he was really nice, but unfortunately his pattern of behaviour changed. I hoped that this stage of manipulation would pass but I am now finding out how naive I was. He is the type that don't know the meaning of a little bit of privacy, always looking through my things, questioning my activities, questioning me about my past, consistently bringing me down about my weight, comparing me to his other nephews, calling me names and making me feel wrong about everything. He even ignores me as soon as he walks through the front door, not even a hello, – it's like I don't exist except when he wants me to cut the grass or clean his laundry. |
Question: “Boyfriend” pocket dialed me and he was talking to a woman...? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 11:12 PM PDT Hi guys, I need your opinion...I was leaving class and my boyfriend was texting me but then he called and I thought he wanted to meet up, but as I kept saying hello, I didn't hear anything. Then I heard him talking to another woman in the background about random things. I felt confused but I just kept listening in until he realized that I was on the line. Then I hung up and we kept texting normally. I feel weird, I don't know that to think :/ I don't take men seriously anyway but could he be deceiving me? I want to break up with him but I don't know how to go about it because I don't want to assume anything bad and then he may lie about it if I confront him. Also should mention that I've tried leaving him before after feeling suspicious about certain things, but he keeps popping back up. We haven't had sex or anything yet and I don't plan to because deep down I don't trust him. |
Question: My adult daughter is driving me crazy!? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 10:36 PM PDT Shes only in her mid 20s but she doesn t act or dress like girl her age, she doesnt go out and get her nails or hair done , shes just very simple. she decided she doesn t want to finish school so now shes traveling to all these different countries with her bf. She doesn t seem to have any direction and things that make life more interesting like finishing school, getting a career, have a nice car and house doesnt interested her. She doesn t eat meat anymore and is strictly vegan, we barely have nothing in common anymore what should I do? |

Question: I'm scared my father is going to hurt me, what can I do? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 08:48 PM PDT He just came barging into my room, woke me up, and began yelling at me. He told me I really shouldn't argue with him right now, that was not good for me (I wasn't even arguing) and threatening non-physical stuff that would really hurt me. This was all over something that made him mad hours ago (and also something my mom agreed he started and refused to say I had been disrespectful) I'm just so rattled right now. He won't go to bed and keeps doing random stuff. I know he's just thinking about it. I'm afraid he'll barge in in me again and actually hurt me. I'll be moving to college in less than two weeks so there's nothing I can do. I'm an adult, so no one will help me until he actually touches me. I can't move out anywhere for two weeks, especially not tonight. I'm scared for right now. I'm just texting my friends to have someone I can contact quickly. |
Question: Can I get emancipated? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 08:21 PM PDT My family and I have a lot of problems, my brother hit me once and I had a big bruise on my clavicle for a week or something, my dad hasn t speak to me in over a month, my mom kicked me out over text message, and my brother keeps taking money from my bank account. |
Posted: 08 Aug 2018 07:32 PM PDT Mom was in a car accident and I'm told she won't be able to come home for a few days. Should I call someone? Should I call my sketchy pot-head bio-Dad? Or my Uncle, who lives 500 miles away? Or should I as a friend if I can crash at his place? Or should I just not bother anyone and chill at home? Mom is still to loopy from pain meds to decide herself. Oh, I'm 15, if it matters. |
Question: How can I cut my mom out of my life? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 07:18 PM PDT My mom has been verbally abusive my whole life. Then she goes through these phases where she wants me to act like my best friend and I always fall for it. However she really crossed the line this time, telling my hubby she wants him to die (he has a chronic illness). I love her but I cant allow her to treat me like this anymore, especially not my hubby. I'm scared she'll verbally abuse grandkids as well whenever we decide to have kids. How can I cut her out of my life without feeling the guilt? Every time I try to cut her off, memories of when things were good flash into my head and make me extremely guilty |
Question: Is this a good place to hide my weed? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 06:31 PM PDT I buy my weed one gram at a time because I'm not really a hardcore pothead lol. My parents like to snoop through my room so I took my baggie of weed and double bagged it with small kitchen baggies, I took my deodorant stick out and put my weed on the bottom and then put the stick back in so it wouldn't look suspicious. Is this bad for the weed or will it be ok because it was wrapped up in baggies? |
Question: Causing myself to be depressed? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 06:22 PM PDT I took a trip with my niece... I went to century 21... and I happened to find for sale.. 2414 South Marshall Street, in Philadelphia. And I got permission to temporarily furnish the place with Rent-a-Center. To bring the place back to life... And I said to her... Katie.. This is where I walked out of my first door. I remember my mom sitting here,and my dad sitting right there... I was 2 years old. Then I went to the Thrift Way Shop n Bag.. and found a bottle of Orangina. and I said to her... Here's some Orangina... This is something that I remember growing up.. And this is the store that we used to shop at. Its amazing. The lay out of the store, and the way it looks in here... This is definitely for sure, the real deal. This is my childhood. She asked me if I'm getting depressed.. I said... "oh yeah"... She asked me why.. and I said... Because my mom and dad are not here anymore.. they're both dead. What should I do ? |
Posted: 08 Aug 2018 05:47 PM PDT The summer of 2016 was the last contact with my son. He decided to walk away ftom my life without providing a reason. He is 20 years old. I believe my ex-wife brainwashed him against me. The NOT KNOWING THE REASON is killing me inside. How many here can relate? Also, will he ever return to my life? I have been a good dad to him since day one. Every effort to contact him, however, has been in vain. |
Question: When my Mom pushes me to hate my step-Mom do I need to so not to upset Mom? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 04:47 PM PDT I really like my step-mother and my Mom resents that. She hates my Dad to and gets mad when I talk about him. I don't discuss my step-mother except when my Mom interrogates me for dirt on her. I don't give any and this makes my Mom mad. Truthfully I don't know anything bad about my step-mother, she is a wonderful person. My Mom is mad I like my Dad, step-mother, and his family. She cuts them down everyday to me. Especially in the summer when I have more time with Mom. |
Question: Mom won’t let me stay up late? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 04:46 PM PDT At 1:30 am my mom throws open my door and yells at me for still being awake. It's summer break god damit! I didn't make any noise, she just happened to be up and see some light coming from my room.. Is this reasonable? Before you leave sassy replies: No she dosen't pay the rent, we live with my grandpa and he pays everything. No she's not my guardian, my dad won custody. No I'm not a little kid, I'm 17. |
Posted: 08 Aug 2018 03:58 PM PDT They are adults now and I have not seen them in 8 years except once at a funeral. My mother says not to bother cause of who their mother is. |
Question: Does my aunt owe me anything? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 03:43 PM PDT I gave a surprise visit to my aunt. Before I left her place, she told me she will ship to me all my clothes in a box, because it wouldn't fit in my luggage. We had a fallout before I left. Her husband cheated with her on me,so everything dragged from that point. We weren't in contact for sometime, then we got in contact again after I told a relative that I sent her money. It was $200. I told the relative to tell her because I couldn't contact her, she blocked me on Facebook and changed her number. We got in contact a year later. She told me she couldn't send the package of clothes because she had already spent the money I had sent her a year before that, I sent her money a second time for her to send the package. It was $150. She finally did the send the package, and I saw on the postmark that it cost $75 for her to ship it. She did buy me a few stuff, which didn't cost more than $20, and she kept the remaining change. She told me that one day, she will give me back all the money I had sent her. We had another fallout again, in which she suspected me of still communicating with her husband, and I told her I didn't, which was true. Now, it's been 2 years, and I don't hear from her anymore. Does she owe me anything? Or is it equal since I messed up her marriage and family? I feel like she used me in sending her more money and she led me on in thinking she will return the money I sent her, which she never did and probably never will. I wish she wouldn't haven't said that. Correction: Her husband cheated on her with me. |
Question: Why does my dad run around doing things for my mom (his EX wife)? Its pathetic? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 02:24 PM PDT He ended it with her. But 10 years later he's still fixing her car, doing yard work, arranging roof work for her, even went to the neighbor's house once to fight with a guy after he got in my moms face. He had a physical fight with a neighbor for his ex wife. I dont get it. Im ashamed hes my dad sometimes. I mean I appreciate that everything hes done for my mom has also been for my benefit, but I just dont understand. He goes far beyond what an ex husband should be doing. My mom will sometimes get mad if he wont come fix something quickly enough. As if shes entitled to his help. It annoys me. Why did he leave her then? Hes trapped anyway. He may as well have stayed and got sex. Hes been single a decade. Possibly a gay. God knows all she does is talk crap about him and to his face too often |
