Hola tengo tengo 16 años. Resulta que mi hermana mayor se enfermo* de fibromalgia hace dos años y eso causo que mis papas la traten como una reina. Ella trabaja pero no aporta nada a la casa ni a la familia. Cuando ella hace algo mal siempre pone de pretexto la enfermedad y sus problemas mentales** . mis papas la obedecen y hasta hay ocasiones en las que es super manipuladora. La verdad no se si es real su enfermedad o no, pero cuando trato de hablar con ella se pone como loca y mis papas le dan la razón por que esta "enferma". mi mama le cosina todo, le limpia todo, le recoge todo, incluso casi todas las noches la tiene que curar. Mi mama se tiene que despertar a las 4:00 am todos los dias a hacerle el dezayuno. Ademas me parece sospechoso que mi hermana no se quiera tomar sus medicinas y cada que puede no lo hace pero mi mama practicamente se las tiene que dar el la boca. Aveces pienso que es injusto para mis papas en especial para mi mama que mi hernama se porte así. NOTA : Mi hermana tiene 23 años. A esa edad yo pienso que deberia ser mas responsable con su vida.

I loved my grandpa dearly and I can't live without my grandma. How do I stay calm I'm shaking so hard because the doctor told my mom it wasn't looking too good. Please help me

Hi, I am 17, living with my parents and 33 year old brother, whose recovering schizophrenia (Let's call this brother Jack). Jack is fine, he's doing well in his recovering. The problem is with my other brother (Let's call him Todd), 30, lives with his godfather, and pays little to no rent. He works at my moms nail salon, but rarely comes to work, as he is usually sleeping through the whole day. Todd has a drug dependency (Cocaine, xanax, and sleeping pills) and an alcohol addiction. My parents take many prescribed drugs to treat their illnesses from old age (Diabetes medicine, sleeping pills). He visits our house often for food. Every time he visits, he always raids the house, looking for drugs and alcohol (He drank all the alcohol in the house already). In addition, he does not clean after himself, and often leaves the house in a mess after he leaves. Occasionally, he starts arguments with Jack as well. Todd refuses to go to rehab an it's leaving a huge strain on my family. Please give me advice!

hi today I got SMS from mom asking me to contact a person on let go app so she can buy something form that person I just don't get it why would I do it ? it isn't a rpckt since to make an account on let go and contact that person I mean is my mom insane or crazy or stupid ?

My older brother gets mad at me for no reason sometimes. I starts saying rude stuff, and then I usually argue back. But then, we both get in trouble. How should I handle this, because this needs to stop, but I don't want to keep getting in trouble when he started the whole thing

Hello! I recently had a fight with my little sister, and this is how it went down: I was tired so I decided to take my blanket and lay down next to me sister who was watching tv, I wanted to mess with her a bit and i stretched my legs closer to the area she was sitting in, she got angry and kicked my legs so I got stuck between the couch and the table, with my right thigh on the edge of the table, she kept kicking me and telling me to move while i was clearly stuck. Her kicks were so strong i felt as if the edge of the table was piercing through my skin, I yelled at her to stop and i angrily held her arm tightly because she was also hitting me, i took a moment to breathe and to process the pain, i got up and adjusted my position on the couch and sat there to try to figure out how to stop the painfull feeling, she yelled at me saying I'm still in her place and started kicking me again, I had enough of it so i hit her legs and told her to "stop acting like a f*cking child". And now she's crying because she says she can't feel her leg, while i am bleeding right in front of her. My parents always believe my little sister and they blame me for anything and everything she does. Sorry for the long explanation but I felt like I had to clarify things! -So now what should i do?? I've put bandages on the area and applied pressure. And how can i deal with my sister's behaviour?

Over the summer, LiveMe became a popular app for people. Strangers give you virtual points if they think you look good, etc. Someone from school had half naked livestreamings. I heard that the police showed up at her house, demanded the passwords and talked to her parents. I don't think anything super explicit was found, but they said she was being recorded by strangers without permission. Her mom refuses to believe she did it even if they showed them to her. Since her parents don't cooperate, the cops are staying longer than usual. The police want to find out who's been recording her. Since she did something obviously bad and there's dangerous people around, can they take it away? I don't know if they did or not..on the other hand, her family probably bought the phone so it belongs to them.

I have sole legal and physical custody of my kids due to the father's refusal to participate and also his substance abuse problems. The court order allows for two overnights with my ex per month. Other than that, there is no other scheduled parenting time. I am interested in moving to Canada for a job offer I have received. Since we live very close to the border, this would not affect the two overnights per month. It would still be easily scheduled since I plan to stay within easy driving distance (within an hour or two away from where I am now). Has anyone had a similar situation or known anyone with a similar situation?

My mom is trying to get custody of my kids I have full custody of my kids kids since 2011 my daughter s are 11,10,9 she s saying all kinds of lies and I don t appreciate it 1st she saying my kids are undressed around strange men not true she s never meet but one of my ex s boyfriend s and she saying they been in and out of dfcs since birth which isn t true either dfcs was called on my ex husband not me and 2nd time my 2nd ex husband with both case s closed and the current case is also about to be closed kids are. Happy here with us and their younger brother s and sisters and she also lied about kids being home alone all time of day and night not true we never leave the younger 4 older 3 are allowed to be alone for 1 hour to two. And. Even my parent class person said same thing and we leave them a phone in case they need us we never leave them home alone long. And she isn t capable of raising my kids she has two knee replacement and legally blind she can t even drive drive any more and kids will never be able to see their sister and brother s again if she gets. Them and it it s emotionally good for them at all. She s also saying dfcs put them in her care in November not true I allowed them to be there due too me moving to Dublin and even have proof of that.

I get it. It's her house and she should do what she wants. But this is getting a bit extreme. She'll be on YouTube for hours and then the second anyone passes by her she's blasts up the volume because she thinks anything she watches is so good that EVERYONE has to watch/hear it. She'll even replay everything and make my dad wake up after just coming back from work just so he can watch it to even though she had just blasted it so loud that it woke him up and he heard every video she played. But she doesn't care she wants him to watch it all with her anyways and then laughs at all the videos like each time is the first time she's watching it. Even going as far as putting guilt on us if we get annoyed at her for forcing us to rewatch everything. I almost can't watch any new episodes of my favorite shows either. I'll put it on tv excited to see what happens next and then my mom decides that she has to go on Facebook and BLAST UP CANDY CRUSH! It's so loud that I can't even hear the tv! I shouldn't even have to tell her how rude that is! If this is punnishment for something we did as kids I wouldn't know because she would just be like "Hmm?" And continue on with doing whatever she's doing on the internet as loudly as possible. You have no idea how many times she's woken me up just to make me watch something like a puppy playing with a ball or a baby talking funny. If we did that to her she would yell about how she can't go back to sleep because of us. Any advice?

My dad and i are commercial fishermen. We stay out on the boat all summer long then come into port when school is getting ready to start. my mom found out that we stayed out in some of the bigger storms that we had so my mom called my dad freaking out and called him a bad parent. My dad said" oh please riding out storms is nothing new to our kid and now all of the sudden you are showing concern"?

Okay so my sister is having a 2 day Birthday event in my hometown which is 2hrs from me, not concerned about the drive but I am tired of traveling which I travel a lot and I want to rest. Also she mentioned for her birthday she wants to have to party so hard that she going to probably do a few lines of coke as well, and I am not comfortable in that type of setting it's just not right to me. And did I meantion last year she didn't even invite me to her birthday party last year after I drove there for her, she blew me off. How do I get out of this without hurting her feelings?

I was the first born child to both of my parents. When I was very young (2 ish) my parents split as they weren't married and were young/immature. My dad would still visit me as much as possible and they were very amicable about the situation. My dad was and still is in the Army so he moved to England. Therefore, contact was hard. My mum had her opinions on how this wasn't right and he wouldn't be in my life so long story short, I hadn't seen him for a long time, only letters and in later years, FaceTime. He had 3 other girls who are my half-sisters. He doesn't particularly like me calling them that as I now live with him here in Northern Ireland where we both come from as he split with their mother for many reasons and he is back and friendly with my mum again. He doesn't mind and knows that they are no more than half sisters and by no means am I wanting to be hurtful but I feel people need to remember I have lived 16 (17 by the end of the month) years of my life being an only child and I don t think it's easy to just call 3 people I don't even know my sisters? It's actually hard for me because I have no idea about them to be quite honest and the older 2 don't want to know my dad and I am very protective of him so that hurts me too. I want to know am I being rude or wrong in anyway or am I allowed to feel this way?

My father just hit my mother, first he used a pillow and then he pushed a chair towards her,slapping her in the process. I am 12 and never in my life I have seen my father hit my mother,I did see him yell often, but I have to note that he also has impulsive problems and cannot control his anger, just like me. On another term my family is a christian family, my parents where supposed to go in a vacation while I would have stayed in a camp. But now, only a day away , this happened. I do not know what will happen if I'm not here to stop them, I love both of them, but I'm afraid, Since I said we are a christian family I also have to say that my father lost his christian beliefs along the way, and threatened my mother that before she could pray for him to be "judged by god" he would hit her again. I don't know what to do anymore, from the shock I started screaming , pleading for my father to stop hitting her, but now I regret crying, my father probably thinks I hate him. I know I am still a child but I can't deal with it anymore, I can't even think what would happen when I won't be there, and I'm afraid that if I don't do something,it will happen again. I hate these fights, ever since I was born that's all that happened, yelling and arguing,my mother says she isn't afraid of his beatings and that she will report him to the police, and I , even though it's the right thing to do, don't want that, I want them to be happy and resolve these problems ourselves. PLEASE HELP

I'm 18 year old guy. Yesterday my father was calling me and I didn't hear him so he felt disrespected came with clippers and wanted to throw them at my face but it thankfully hit the chair then he came to slap me but I held his hand. Today I asked him did he really meant to throw clippers on me and what if He left a scar on my face, wouldn't he feel bad? and he says that he felt bad that the clippers broke and it didn't hit me and a scar would made me listen to him and I talked to my mother about it and she says one can kill their child if they have to. My dad was always good to me, he bought me a car, got me tutors, when I was a child he would buy me a toy everyday but I don't know what the hell happened to him Yesterday, I don't see him as a loving dad no more, I see him as a man with no emotions and don't want to sit with him any longer. The problem is if I move out, there would be no one paying for my college and I would then need 2 jobs to support myself but I'm also so concerned for my safety. I'm in shock right now, I don't know what to do. Pls help Should I move out or what ? What should I do ?

Lets say you are 30, 40 years old still living with your parents..... Your parents is happy because you are helping them pay rent... Your mom don t do your laundry anymore... You have a good job... You pay rent... Buy groceries... Pay bills... etc... Is it wrong to live with your parents? Honestly, I can move out on my own, but I don t see the point.... I m saving money.... I get to eat every night with my parents..... If my dad or mom has a problem with their health, I can be there and help them get to the hospital.... I m asking this question because a friend of mind look down on me when I told them I m still living with my parents..... Honestly, I feel bad... even if I move out on my own I know for a fact my lifestyle won t be any different... My parents aren t complaining I m staying with them.. They are happy I m paying rent..

so the other day i got really stressed out because of high school starting back up again, and i have extreme social anxiety, so my brother in law asked if i wanted a massage to help calm me down and i said sure. long story short, things got a little sexual between us. he started to kiss my neck and climb on me, but i stopped him before anything else happened. i don't know how i feel about this. i'm not going to tell our parents because i don't want to embarrass either of us and i do care about him. to be honest i wanted to continue what was happening then but at the same time we're brother and sister, but, again, at the same time we're not blood related. i've started to have feelings for him and think about what would have have happened if i didn't stop us, and i'm kind of mad at myself. i don't know what to feel, think, or do. i kind of feel like i should tell him i want him, but i mean, is that wrong? he clearly wants me but, again, i just don't know.

I'm a 17 year old girl and my dad took me on a trip only a state away from where I live for the weekend with his girlfriend who he has been on and off with for years. I don't have a close relationship with my dad and I don't feel comfortable with his girlfriend. I live with my grandma and I have cats at home. I have a close relationship with my grandma and we do everything together. I don't have any friends or anything. I started crying in the car on the way to our hotel and I wasn't sure why I was crying for about an hour. I guess I feel homesick because I have to stay in this hotel for 2 days. Anyway my dads girlfriend went outside for a minute so it was just me and my dad and I started crying and he asked me what was wrong and I said I wanna go home and he said we can't. I was shaking when I was crying. Now I'm in bed and I'm still crying and I don't know what to do because I can't sleep. I guess I just really miss my grandma and my kitties. I don't know what to do.

I would rather be on my dad's good side, because on his bad side there's loads of screaming and threats. Seems as if every time someone/something pisses him off he'll yell back at me when i'll ask for something and try to intimidate me as if I said something offensive to him. This is why I don't bother talking to him anymore (unless i need something) and lean toward my mom instead. This man seriously has anger issues. How am I supposed to tolerate this? Or am I being too sensitive

My mothers boyfriend had shoved me against a chair in my room on New Years, he threw my phone against my room and yelled at me and cussed at me. Even now I cant enter the same room as him without crying or feeling incredibly uncomfortable and unable to breathe. I told my mother about this but she brushes it off. But whenever im in a room with that man i feel like he is about to attack me. Videos with yelling or angry tones make me flinch heavily or tense up, they even make me feel uneasy. This never happened before. Please tell me what happened and what i should do. I was 13 when this happened, im now in 9th.

Like he doesnt talk to anyone and he never took me or my sister out to the park. Literally. We are both in college and he doesnt take responsibility. My dad tried to hit mom and thing is he doesnt care about me and sister, my grandpa use to hit dad and his brother sos I wonder is that the reason he is cold.. But why doesnt he take me and my sister out?

Three days ago, I adopted a dog. It was a private adoption, so I didn t sign any paperwork. The owner just gave me the dog directly. She also gave me all her medical records, and transferred her microchip information over to me. The dog was a little sad to part with her owner, but adjusted to me and her new home really quickly. She now seems really happy and settled. Now, the owner just texted me asking for the dog back. She says she found a place that allows dogs, and the only reason she was rehoming the dog in the first place was because she couldn t find an apartment that allows pets. I know it s only been three days, but I really love this dog, and she seems to really love me. I ve wanted a dog for a long time, and finally adopted mine (hers?) after recently breaking up with my boyfriend (I m 24, we lived together, and this is my first real breakup...it s been hard, and having this dog has been a godsend). I m taking really good care of her, and she seems really happy in my home. Obviously, she had him for a lot longer than I have (the dog is 3). The whole thing is making me feel really uncomfortable and weird (why would she give away her dog because of her new place if she was still apartment hunting???). She gave me this dog and I've already invested a lot in her, both emotionally and financially. She gave her to me with the understanding that she'd be mine for the rest of her life. But obviously, she's had the dog a lot longer than me. My priority at this point is definitely figuring out what's best for the dog, but I have no idea what that is. I know for sure she's happy in my home with me. All I know about her life at her former home is that her owner was willing to give her up for a real estate opportunity, and is now backtracking. I have no idea what to do... Thanks everyone for your perspectives! I'm definitely planning to keep the dog for the rest of her life (if I end up not giving her back). I was literally telling my friend earlier that finding a new place when my lease is up is gonna be tough now that I have a dog I'm changing all my future plans for this dog. I've only had him for three days, and I couldn't imagine giving him up for a real estate opportunity. But I feel bad keeping him from her... In terms of proof, I have the transferred microchip info and our text history in which she states that she wants to give him to me. She definitely couldn't lie and say I stole him. In a private adoption, this is all that is legally required. The dog is legally mine. The question here is a moral one.

So my niece is telling her mother that I'm always naked around her. I don't understand where this is coming from cause I have never been naked near her. My family is acting weird around me now and I don't want to get in trouble for some kid that's lying. What do I do now???

We seldom see her since we are mostly estranged so environmental is not a risk as our Mom and Dad refuse to see her.

I wonder if I am an aunt or uncle and don't know it. I know a girl he was going with had a baby 9 months after they broke up. I would not be able to get a DNA test obviously since I am not next of kin.

I don't have a toilet scrubby brush so I have to improvise. I think that my daughter's hair will do the job, but she won't let me? I even chased her around the house with a pair of scissors. I can't go out and buy one because my car is out of gas and even if I could, I think my child should let me because I'm her mom and I said so. Please help!!!

My brother is an adult with autism. My dad fantasizes that his disability is not autism but has been caused by oxygen deprivation and the physician being late (negligent). He actually spent his entire weekends for years writing letters to politicians and the medical board about his wacky theory. To this day he often references to how my brother "was injured". My brother is 31, his letter writing started when my brother was 6 and continued until he was about 16. Why is his mind made up? Is it vanity/narcissism about his genes? Perhaps a form a therapy/cathartic way of dealing with his son's disability? Perhaps he has a type of mental illness?

Im already 17 years old, with a verbally and emotionally abusive father. Growing up he verbally abused me and made me emotionally feel horrible about myself and in general. He yells alot which makes me cry and also curses. I have 4 years old sister who is in the same sotuation. I hate the way my dad raises her. I just hate how he talks to her and i dont want to the same thing happened to her as me as a child. It suckss. please tell me what to do. how to deal with this.

My father is verbally abusive to me and my wife, in several ways, hurts me beyond benefit with his words. I honestly would remove him from my life all together, if it wasn't that I am the only child, so I feel like I have to take care of my parents, my mom passed a year ago and he just got worse since we lost her. I could care less about inheriting stuff, but I would like some pictures of my mom and a box of letters my mom left me, she told us all about after she got cancer, he will not let me read or have them till he dies and if I go against him or stand up to him he said he will burn every picture of my mom and the letters.    It really painful I am just lost on what to do? I do not live with him, after mom died he changed locks and alarm code.

WARNING: This post is kind of long and may make some cringe. Anyways here it goes. I think I was molested by my brother. He was 14 and I was nine. The thing is, I'm confused on if I was even really molested. My conscience is eating me alive. I feel like I'm partially responsible for what happened. We was sitting on the couch while my dad was asleep. I pulled down my shorts to expose my buttock to him. He pulled up my shorts and I pulled them right back down. From there he told me to move on the other side of the couch, and I did. He proceeded to put his hands down my shorts, and ask me if it felt good. I told him to stop because it hurt and he did. From there on, we kind of kept a distance from each other. Until one day I was playing a video game in my room and he asked me if he could have sex with me anally. That it would hurt me if he stuck it in the front, I simply told him no and that was the end of it. Eventually I told my parents what was going on, and they sent him away to live with other relatives. I never really saw him much after that. I'm 33 now and the older I get, the more angry and sickened I become. I don't even know why I pulled down my shorts like that, but I did. If I had never tempted him, none of what occurred probably would've happened. I'm so confused, and to embarrassed to admit this to anyone out loud. I would like opinions on this. Should I just accept my part in what happened, or was he really in the wrong?

My brother is 34 and autistic. He lives in a group home. There are some relatives (cousins) that I recently made contact with and connected with. I am not sure if it is s good idea to introduce them to my brother or not. They are decent people and family, but he has his routine and disruptions to his routine are sensitive for him. It may seem weird to ask this here and the advice that can be provided is obviously limited (the spectrum varies a lot). However I am trying to find advice without bias....my parents claim they do not want him to have contact with them because they are "strangers". Hmmm.....I recently made contact with estranged relatives who my parents do not want a relationship with. I just want what is best for my brother. Should I introduce him or not? Best way to describe him in a nutshell: Shy and cautious at first but he has a strong desire to bond with others, he has memorized the letters of some basic survival words that he can read but he is what I would consider illiterate, he can communicate his basic needs and feelings, he can sense other people's feelings and emotions well, he has about the academic ability of a 4-6 year old, he likes swimming, bowling and taking long walks. Thanks in advance for any tips.
