I was very sad of her passing but just not the type to cry at funerals. My mother screamed through the whole service and yelled "I need to go to" at the cemetery as she lay literally on top of the coffin (no joke). She has not left the house since the day after the funeral last Wednesday.

Growing up, my mom would verbally and physically abuse me and my siblings to no end, while my dad would just bury himself in work intentionally and look the other way. I was physically ill with things debilitating my performance and mental health in school, and instead of taking care of their kid by taking me to a Dr., they just labeled me as lazy or rebellious. And now that I've moved out, and they know of me being gay and say they're "fine with it, but don't have to like it", I haven't had a desire for a relationship with them because they think somehow the abuse damage has mended itself, and at the end of the day they are NOT fine with me being gay. They've neglected every opportunity to get to know my now-husband and in-laws, and now they resent them because his parents never did to me what my parents did to him. So now my dad wants back in my life. I am emotionless about it. He never knew me when growing up, nor does he seem to care about getting to know me in present day. I tell him "I'm still sick, dad" and his response is "go to a doctor" when he was the one who should have done it. I talk to my dad once every 1-2 mths, my mom never because she's so toxic. My dad has apologized for the issues in the family and with my health, but it doesn't erase the fact that it happened and that he ignored all of it. I also think he is only apologizing/admitting because he knows that's what I want to hear (and idk if I'll ever be over it). All thoughts welcome.

I live in a city where the majority of residents are Asian. Lots of them aren't expected to move out. In fact, it's considered rare for a 21 year old to do so. They're dependant on their parents, often until marriage. These parents tend to be more overprotective during their childhood years too (from ages 0-18). They're afraid to let them out of sight or experience certain things that the average teen should - no going out, dating, parties, sleepovers, etc. Will this make these young adults more immature and dependant?

But he doesn t care anymore to change something about himself? What should I do

Do I be nice? I kind of liked the uncle's wife but she is leaving him so will be viewed as a traitor. The aunt is always stirring up drama so is harder but when I was a kid she was nice until some parenting / marital issues have made her angry at the world. So who do I handle these two enemies of the family? My mother is one of six children. Our grandmother is still living, grandfather died long ago.

My father committed suicide Labor Day Sunday in 2013 and I found him. Five years seems like a pivotal anniversary like 10 will be. It hurts. I am OCD so certain numbers on anniversaries stick out with this being year 5. There used to be a family get together to get my mind off it but this year there is not one since my grandmother, father's mother, died in June. How do I get my mind off of it this weekend? No one is in town in his family so visiting them won't help.

I'm 17 and still living with my parents. I became a vegan a year ago. My mom has been trying to stop me since but it hasn't worked for a year. She still hasn't given up. How do I deal with unsupportive parents?

I'm in my late 20s and I haven't seen my mother in 5 years, and haven't spoken or texted her in 3 years. She disowned me because, ever since high school, I was a fat sack of crap that felt sorry for myself and all I did was eat and play video games and not work. I overstayed my welcome in her house til I was 21 and then I left to live somewhere else and she never wanted me back in her house. She tried to put me through college, but I dropped out cause I was "fat and unhappy". I tried to take the Military route, but I couldn't meet the physical fitness standards, and got sent back a failure. In summation, I failed at life where many people have succeeded. And when we talked on the phone, all I ever did was complain and mope about how my body is ruined from being 300lbs, and that I'm ugly and I'm alone and really unhappy. I'm poor, I have nothing. Everyone else has friends, girlfriends, lives, cars, money. I have less than everyone else, etc. Anyway, she got sick of it and cut me off completely. I don't blame her. I know for fact now, if I got hit by a car, she wouldn't visit me in the hospital. That being said, can the relation be recovered?

From last year we fight together then my father told her to stop making problems everyone mind their own business , but she still going back and fourth in our house taking stuff stuff from fridge or from the cabinet or she enters from our house about where she live up stairs but still I found my dad won't set the rules bc he is the one who pays everything in the house . About putting a lock on the door he won't do that .

I have three kids. When I met my partner, he was part time Dad to three of his own living overseas. I did my all to include him in our family life and we were working well. A few months ago, his daughter came to live with him. Now days out involve them both going their own way, he makes no effort to maintain a balance between his daughter s happiness and ours, and has told me that her happiness is more important to him. We have no alone time any more, every time we sit for a chat, she joins us, every time we walk together, she pushes in between us. She treats my home with utter disrespect, rubbish thrown on the floor, chewing gum on the kitchen table, my daughter is bullied for her games console constantly and my youngest son called "the demon child". Our future plans as a couple have been trashed. He barely talks to me any more and it s constant arguments and disagreements. I wanted a balance to include everyone involved, he can t see where my issue is and keeps telling me that things change, but I can t see how if he makes no effort. Things were so good for so long, a part of me wants the good times back, but a part of me says it s time to go. Thoughts?

I'm a 16 year old girl and my sister is 22. She drives me crazy because of how irritating she can be. On top of that, she treats me like a baby and even complained to my mom how I'm literally 5 years old! She makes it clear and obvious that I'm a "baby" and to stay in my lane — or else! On clubbing nights, when she goes out, she'll always remind me that I'm THE child staying home doing homework. I did not ask to engage in her "adult activities" nor did I even talk about it, so therefore, the hints are unnecessary. Jesus, she behaves like I know nothing about life. Sometimes I wish she'd just go away! And she acts soooo nice and friendly in front of other unrelated girls at social events/parties/raves.

I live at home with my two Hispanic parents. I am 17 years old, and I found out a few weeks ago that I am carrying. I am currently 7 weeks going into 8 soon. My parents are abusive and threaten to beat me. I get into complicated arguments with them and I stay shut. They verbally abuse and physically abuse me. My father threatens to tell my sister to beat me. I have been recording the incidents lately. My father today had threatened to throw me down the stairs. They tell me if I leave, they call the police on me as a runaway teen. Please, help, I am at my breaking point. I have nowhere else to go. What should I do?

I am 16 and my sister is 14. My dad always fights with me, my sister and my mom. He's always angry about something and brin s up grudges or crazy things that never happened. Or he beats a dead horse about something we fought about months ago. I always wonder why he is like this and he thinks he's normal and we are the crazy ones when we don't even want to fight with him. Anyway, my sister is studying for a English class, she's in the livingroom on her computer. My dad randomly sits next to her and starts fighting with her. He kept asking her why she hates him. And my sister put her headphones on and blasted the music while staring at the ground and not looking at him. She did this for an hour while my dad kept asking her, "What wrong with you? Why do you hate me? What do you have against me? What did I do to you?" My sister avoided the fight by ignoring him. I wanted to know if this is healthy, the way she avoids fights. My dad loves fighting. He fights everyday literally. You can't win with fights with him, he's always right and he'll tear down your self esteem while laughing or screaming at you. I don't understand why he does this and why he is so angry and why he needs to take it out on his family.

seriously, he thinks its cool 2 wear short shorts w/tube socks. its very disgusting, but he likes doing it, & when we go to church or we go to the park, he wears them everyone just points fingers and laughs at him, but im so embarrassed by this behavior!

every time we eat at mcdonalds, my dad stands up on his chair and sings old mcdonald had a farm, eieio! and every time we go to maintain our car, he stands up on a car and sings life is a hwy, i wanna ride it all night long finally whenereve im on yahoo answers, he screams, yahoo!

My wife's oldest son, 23 years old, has a 2.5 year old daughter whom we love with all our heart. She's a precious little girl. People just love to see her. Well, last year when her son fell out with his granddad and he put him out my wife allowed him to move back in with us. I told her then that with him being back with us that meant his daughter would be there for weekend visits. I negotiated with the baby momma and her son to allow every other weekend visitation and that's been working fine for months now. Well, we didn't have her last weekend and this is his weekend again. I text the baby momma to ask if we could keep her an extra day since Labor Day was Monday and she said fine. I wanted to grill out and pull out our blow up kiddie pool for her to play in the water for a while. I just text my wife to let her know she'll be there an extra day and she nearly cut my head off. Her argument is that she doesn't really like having kids around. I told her that with her letting him move back with us that his daughter is a part of that package. She's complaining about not having any time to herself without kids being around but our granddaughter is only there 2 out of every 14 days. Then she says that I don't need to be talking directly to the baby momma without her knowing about it. Why? Am I not adult enough to arrange extra visitation or is she scared that I'm going to try and hit on this little 19 year old girl. Step-son and baby momma don't communicate well because of the conflict between them so I am the quote / unquote, mediator to keep down the confusion. When it's his weekend I contact her to arrange picking her up and dropping her off. My wife feels that the girl needs to contact her and that I should have had a conversation with her about allowing our granddaughter to stay an extra day. Do I really need permission from my wife to allow our granddaughter to stay one extra night? It's not like I asked for her to stay the whole week, I just asked for one more overnight visit because I plan to grill out Monday, Labor Day, and I want her to play in her pool. My step-son doesn't pay any child support so I think it's a very nice gesture that this girl is even allowing us the extra time.
