Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:49 PM PDT She is so bad that if I was religious I would think she is demon possessed. Everyone hates her. |
Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:28 PM PDT I have two giant liars for parents. My father sucks as a parent but is fun and my mother is very sweet but bitter. How do I get over two bad parents who are liars? |
Question: Should I do this for my mother in laws birthday? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:25 PM PDT I was visiting my husband's mother and I ask her to see his baby pictures. She gave me her family picture album to look at. In it was pictures of her being crowned Miss YYY (the name of our state) 23 years ago. Was she ever beautiful them as she is now. She had never told me about this and neither had my husband. None of her friends know about it either. It was quite an honor so I asked my husband why she never told anyone about it. He said she was embarrassed that she could not fit in the dresses she wore when she was crowned Miss YYY. She had a gorgeous figure then and now. It turns out she is only 1 dress size larger now than when she was 20. What a remarkable feat for a woman in her 40s. She has a birthday soon and I would like to give her a party to celebrate her birthday and being crowned Mis YYY and invite all her friends. I think they would like to know and would be very happy for the honor she has received. However the LAST thing I want to do is cause her any embarrassment. Gals, please give me your thoughts on how and if I should proceed with this. I will not do this if she does not want me to. I will ask her permission before I do it. Would you be embarrassed for your friends to know you were crowned Miss YYY 23 years ago. THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE. |
Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:20 PM PDT Police don;t care cause he ran away once before. He is 15 and thought to have been headed to NYC or Washington, DC areas. We live in Charlotte, NC. No sightings and no contacts by his friends. He is also Bipolar and took no medicine. He is believed to be doing drugs though (mainly weed my parents used to scold him for). He was expelled from a boarding school for LD / ADHD students in April for weed as a 2nd offense. That school has been contacted and no contact but they sent emails to students (they have been very nice about it). I am so scared I keep crying. Mom had to go to a mental hospital she is so upset. My sisters don't care but my father is a wreck and keeps going to DC and NYC and took me to help me cope. I am 13. My brother and I got along great and had mutual friends and are the two boys in the family. I've never asked anything on this site but am asking, what do we do and how do we know if he is alive? I am on my mother's account so asking anonymous. |
Question: How can I help my 13 year old daughter make friends her own age? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:16 PM PDT My daughter is academically gifted. She's often away from regular school to attend special programs and visit high schools/colleges. It has occurred to me that she has very few friends her own age, but more likely to socialize with younger or older people. It may stem from being "different" and "not fitting in", since some children like her DO behave differently (maybe socially immature, unusually sensitive or extremely mature/developed in certain aspects). Whether we like it or not, many 13 year old girls aren't very accepting not fitting in. Usually, she'll have no problem hitting up a conversation with the peers sitting beside her....but isn't around her same-aged peers as much so they don't tend to develop a close relationship. |
Question: Is it normal to feel bad and defeated after this? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:14 PM PDT Well the last doctor i had, i did not like her too much. i never open up in therapy but i finally opened up to her over some months and she's so sly she thought i wasn't feeling well so she forced me to see her every month., She also used to talk to my dad behind my back in her closed room for hours and my dad used to come out crying and all emotional. Also, when i opened up to her i told her why i don't want to go to my sisters place because my nephw strangled me a few years ago and last time when i went he tried beating me up again. next visit she AGAIN SAID no no no u have to go there.. basically dude it was finals week and she kept pushing me and i said i'll think about it. she forced me to come see her after a few days right before my final exam. i begged her can i come after my exam i want to study for it and have fun relax and she said no isnt it best to get done wtih this (her forcing me) before my exams. i did not go toher, i gave my exam and i stopped seeing her. i feel really really bad and crappy about what she did to me, i dropped out of school and dont want to go back. her behavior make me feel bad for being a good student. Furthermore, that is all but I just want to know is it normal to deel this way after dealing with a bitchy woman? this is ridiculous.. right now my school is calling me up like crazy and i' so dumb founded to even talk.. i can't even talk to anyone right now..... Thanks. |
Question: My adult cousin smokes pot and sleeps with men (she is 24). Do I tell her parents? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:09 PM PDT |
Question: Since my whole family is alcoholic how do I get some sanity? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 01:03 PM PDT 23 of the 26 extended family members are alcoholic as well as 4 out of 5 in my immediate family (I am the only one who is not). |
Question: Why is my mom obsessed with having a great body? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 12:57 PM PDT She said men want a beautiful woman and she said if I dont look good then husband will cheat on me. Looks is important but not everything, but I dont why mom is under so much pressure since my dad didnt cheat on her. My dad barely looks at other women but mom is on a diet and she is hard on herself. And mom is 50 |
Posted: 28 Aug 2018 12:55 PM PDT |
Posted: 28 Aug 2018 10:53 AM PDT a few years ago my mother straight up said to my face that my father is more important to her than us, her children. she said it in a serious manner and I know she meant it. sometimes I still think about it, cause it really hurt me in a way. is it normal for me to be sad about this? |
Posted: 28 Aug 2018 09:56 AM PDT So I am married to my husband for 4 years now... Been with him for 6 and lived with him for 5. We have 3 children together. My brother in law have been on and off with his girlfriend for 5 years. They both have 1 child of their own not together and do not live together and never have... Well anyways when me and my husband first for together 4 months into our relationship. He ended up commenting on her facebook photo of her "going out" saying some inappropriate thing like... Damn you look good tell "her boyfriend at the time" to stay close. Well one day I was looking through her things and seen his comment and got a bit upset at him for disrespecting me like that.. Well anyways since we have children we always have birthday partys and she always comes with my brother in law and she always leaves her son with me because I have to watch my own anyways. And gets so drunk she just falls out passed out drunk. We have a birthday party this weekend and she is staying at our place. I don t want to make a big fight or yelling about anything but I kinda feel jealous when she walks around in inappropriate clothing. (short small dress, little shirt boob s handing out ) So please any advice would be appreciated. |
Question: Is my brother in law jealous of my new bf in a platonic way? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 07:13 AM PDT My sisters husband and I have become close since they got married. We have good and fulfilling conversations. Important: in no way am I saying that my brother in law is interested in me in an inappropriate or romantic way. By jealous, I mean of the attention I give to my new boyfriend in a friendly way. Anyway, I have found a new boyfriend and I'm really falling for him. I've been noticeably in a better mood these days, and daydreaming a lot. Once we went to the mall with my sister and he was walking next to me the whole time instead of my sister. He has shown more affection towards my sister around me (kissing her with a smug look on his face, etc.). Once I was daydreaming while we were all shopping and he said "did you see your friends?" I nodded. He said "did you see your friends?" Again. I think he repeated it like three times. He looked distressed the times I was around him. Is he jealous? |
Question: Why do both my kids refuse to walk in the roads? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 04:57 AM PDT I refuse to drive them, teach them to drive or drive them 30 miles to get public transport. So why do they refuse to walk on highway/ roads, streets? |
Question: My son doesn't want to talk to me or spend any time with me. What can I do? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 03:54 AM PDT I'm a 52 year old man. My 19 year old son has been away at college. I miss him being at home. However, he never calls me to talk to me. I'm always the one that has to reach out to him or he will only call me if he has to. If I don't reach out to him, we don't talk. I even told him, "Hey call me sometimes." He's not like this with his mother. He calls his mom all the time, and speaks to her frequently. He's not like that with me. He is closer with his mother, but he can still call me sometimes. Even when he's at home, he would rather spend time with his mother and sisters as opposed to me and his brother. Even when he was young, he always wanted to be around his sister and her friends, but not his brother and his friends. He's always around women. I want him to start being around men more, and spending time with me and his brother. I think it would be good for him. Our personalities are different and we don't see eye to eye on many things. We have had disputes in the past. I'm a bit more rough around the edges, and my son is more sensitive. However, I still love him and want a closer relationship with him. So what can I do? |
Question: What can I do about my hatred for women? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 12:18 AM PDT I was and am currently being raised in a household full of women. The only other males that live with me are my grandfather and my brother. I never really see my grandfather since he works long hours and my brother is in his damn room all day and refuses to come out. All the women in my house are incredibly toxic so much so that I want to literally kill myself. I grew up around toxic females and as I get older my hatred grows and grows even more. My hatred has grown so much that I smile seeing women getting tortured to death on reddit it has become quite the hobby and I sometimes wish I could do the same (I never will as I am aware of the legal consequences). I am tired of women and no longer know what to do. I feel so uncomfortable around them and I have a deep hatred that when a female comes up to talk to me I call her a whore and a slut and do everything I can to degrade her. My hatred is only growing and I cannot communicate well with women. What should I do? |
Posted: 27 Aug 2018 11:25 PM PDT This avatar game is meant for ADULTS 18+ but teens sign up too. Virtual characters can do inappropriate stuff on it, or people sexualize others. She has tons of "friends" but is asocial in real life. Her "best friend" on the game is a 22 year old woman from our city, only 20 minutes away from her. She chats to her about her daily life and personal details — things like: siblings, peer pressure, getting periods, friends, school, etc. They tell her just as much personal details. It sounds kind of inappropriate to be on there in the first place, yet share such intimate details about their lives. I know it's only two years from being adult, but she is underage. |
Posted: 27 Aug 2018 11:03 PM PDT Even in preschool, her 4 year old self would just sit in the corner alone. She never wanted to play with other children. I'm beginning to notice that she can be a bit naive or clueless for her age. This might be due to having NO socialization at all. She spends absolutely all her time alone 24/7. Eating lunch alone, watching movie alone, doing schoolwork alone, walk to/from school alone, get nails done alone. During the previous few years from ages 12-14, we tried to provide her with groups & clubs. She'd still be very isolated and not talk. I can't recall the last time my daughter made one single friend. I worry that she'll have no support system as an adult. |
Question: Is it wrong for me to disrespect someone who maliciously & continuously disrespects me? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 10:25 PM PDT A girl I dated and I are currently living under the same roof while we work out our situation. But her mom has put her hands on me, spit in my face, put me in a corner, she yells at me all the time, calls me literally every name in the book especially what I'm not, she acts "nice" when she wants help & if she doesn't get the help right there and then she demands it. I lost all my respect for this lady, & I'm forced to talk to her because she talks to me and asks me questions and I don't want to be rude & ignore her. I respond and then I'm wrong for responding because then she begins to talk about all the money she's wasting on her own bills & I tell her they're not my bills, then she just bullies me. I've been helping this lady out for 2 years. I decided to put myself first and now when she calls me a b**** or talks about my mom or talks about my flaws or anything at all, I get on her level and I hate it because it's not me and she just disrespects me so much that I can't take it. I want to learn to love myself and not let others take advantage of me. Am I wrong for yelling back at her when she starts with me, bullies me, etc? I'm a girl, 23 years old and she 53 years old. I'm living in her home. I pay bills, I cook for everyone, buy food. I don't know what to do. Most people would say have more patience but I don't have none anymore or to get out but I don't want to, I care for her daughter way too much.. so is there something else I can do? Am I wrong for reacting this way? |

Question: How can I avoid having problems with my mother again this year? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 09:14 PM PDT I live in a different city than my mother. My birthday is in 2 weeks. Last year around this time, I asked my mom to please please not come. I told her that I had way too much work, and my birthday has no meaning to me. BUT she came. I had a lot of problems at work because my mom forced me to spent time with her. I also had problems with my mother because I did not spend enough time with her. This year I have the same problem. My mother wants to fly in for my birthday. I already told my mother that I will be very busy. But that I can take 2 weeks off next month, and fly to see her. My mother doesn't care, she wants to come on my birthday. She doesn't car eif she makes me miss work again, and get me into trouble. She just doesn't to reason. How can I avoid having problems with my mother again this year? |
Question: Why my uncle borrow money to pay bills if he already rich? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 08:15 PM PDT My uncle loves money and he makes 20k a month and dad said he is cheap. My uncle put his money in a bank and borrow money from other people to pay bills. This is weird why would he do that? |
Question: Is this qualified as an abusive relationship? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 08:11 PM PDT My mom has been dating this guy for about 12 or so years. Over the time i have been living with them (off and on for the last 3 years) i notice almost every morning he is yelling about something he does not like even when my mom says he doesn t have to yell, whenever the dishwasher doesn t get cleared out he will shout about him always having to do everything (even though I m normally the one who loaded it), he gets angry whenever he makes enough food for a army and one of us brings up not being hungry or when he makes something spicy and we bring up how we cant handle spicy food (nothing is too spicy for him), also he yells at my mom about the house being messy (she has more stuff than space) or her always using the truck (which is in both their names), just a few days ago my aunt ruined a road trip and he ended up yelling at my mom for her "c**t sister" ruining it. Or calls my mom "B!+ch" or other named when he gets really mad at her. And he continually brings up it being the last straw and he will leave if stuff doesnt change, but every night comes home to sleep next to her |
Question: My grandmother died, she knows I love her with all my heart right? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 07:13 PM PDT I was her favorite grandson, she was born in 1928 and died today. |
Question: Mom too obsessed with chores or is a perfectionist? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 06:46 PM PDT Ok, so my mom somehow everyday finds a list of chores to be done. Now that does sound normal, I mean, chores do have to be done daily. Also, I do my share usually. But when me or my siblings finish, she'll come back and point out a "missed spot" or something done not the way she thinks it should be done. Even after the cleaning lady comes, she'll vacuum the carpet again because she missed a spot. Also, when my siblings object, she gets angry pretty fast and unleashes punishments. |
Question: How to deal with distant family? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 06:33 PM PDT So the short end of it is that the family on my mom's side keeps trying to get a rise out of me and saying well why don't you keep in touch anymore, I still work 6 days a week and keep in touch with family. But my life right now is completely different than there's I work as a caregiver for my father who had a stroke on his ride side and is impaired in walking and doing normal activites(no effect on his speach) , a grandmother who is going through dementia and sundowners, is currently on hospice but semi is holding strong(she won't be able to walk again on her own again is bed bound due to older age 87) and I am only one person who has taken up the mantle of trying to pull as much weight as I can doing everything else that needs done and the list is a very long list. To give further context too, they (mom's family) hasn't always been around or accepting of my father. It wasn't until my mother reconnected with her family that she changed into more like them which casused a toxicity that I got cought up in at a young age. Until my mother passed way my father and I were fighting and disagreeing. Now we're atleast on the same page and trying to work as much as we can out. And now with them trying to reconnect to me I'm afraid that the toxicity will come back and I'm trying to distance myself, so i can be able to keep what I have with my dad stable. I'm just not sure what to say and not make it look wrong on both ends. |
Question: How to handle my girlfriend being more high class than me? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 05:49 PM PDT Well I'm order to understand my frustration it's imperative I explain just a tiny background Well I live with her and her parents and have for the past year we've had our share of issues but nothing to major well as of recent she has had some trouble finding a car and it seemed hopeless for us as most cars were to dirty or too old or ya know something she wouldn't get fought driving in that would make her look silly : fast forward and now it's not even two days before college starts her mom decided it was a good idea which it was it's just not how I imagined it happening anyway I get back and she goes hey I'm getting a brand new car I say how and lost with confusion anyway I say hey what kind she says me and my mom went to Toyota and Then she said I'm getting a 2019 Toyota Corolla tommrow I said wait hold on huh after all this time you could t find a car and this is how you get one by your mom just leasing a car 2019 like it's no big deal but that's just one of the spoon fed moments she has had and it's very unsettling bcuz I am a super hard worker and to see her get everything she wants sucks bcuz I always feel less than her and perfect example when she was driving my 2005 Nissan Altima decent car and I will get a new one when I'm ready anyway she said it was hesitant to turn on and she couldn't wait until she had a new car I said wow don't be so mean about it just because my car isn't brand new and perfect like hers I try really hard but I can't do much at this point! |
Question: How do I tell my parents and other family members that I wanna move out? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 04:46 PM PDT I'm 21, I've been working since I finished high school so I got used to that. Currently I work in a factory, full time. I'm more than capable of affording a place of my own, that's no problem... Problem is that my whole family is very, well, family oriented. I don't have a girlfriend or anyone I'd live with, I'd basically be moving out to live alone, which is why I think they'll be very hurt. It's basically me saying that I'd rather live alone than deal with them. It's true tho.. I knew this'd happen tho. I pay my share when it comes to bills and food, and I do chores around the house, even sometimes cook. Yet I have 0 words when it comes to any decision. Also the worst is that I respect their sleep schedule, try not to make a lot of noise when others are sleeping, but when I come home from 3rd shift and try to sleep nobody gives a damn. So I do have a lot of valid reasons imo, but I still don't know how to tell them. any advice? |
Question: Good excuses to cover for injuries from cutting? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 04:32 PM PDT |
Posted: 27 Aug 2018 04:15 PM PDT My brother sees himself as a professional internet troll. His entire life revolves around laying in bed, and spewing inflammatory bullsh*t on Facebook, twitter, and countless other websites to get a reaction out of people. It is his life's greatest ambition, and he worships Mr. Mettokur like a god. He used to go to school and have a job, but now just lays in bed 24/7... wayching 4chan stories on Youtube, and harassing people. His hemorrhoid-like online persona is ruining my life as well, since he is acting like a troll in REAL LIFE. I am forced to share a room with him, and hate having to live with someone like this. How can I convince my brother that he is wasting his life? |
Question: How to help those locked away? Mentally ill or prison? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 03:57 PM PDT |
Question: Any suggestions on how to demonstrate natural consequences for a teen? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 03:42 PM PDT I have a 16 year old who can't seem to keep up with her responsibilities. Or maybe it's more like I can't seem to keep up with enforcing them. In our home each one of us has responsibilities in contributing to the household. My 16 year old is responsible for the kitchen. Each night after dinner and each afternoon when she gets home from school. The after dinner dishes is self explanatory. But for after school I like to have a clean kitchen when I cook and the kids typically have something to snack on after dinner and breakfast dished need to be clean. For the past four days I have been reminding her of her responsibilities. We also have a REAL CLEAN day, Saturday when we clean out old food from the refrigerator and such. She didn't do that either. Even gave her Sunday to get it done. Each time I find her in her room on her phone. "Take her phone away" I did that. One week and she is back to the same behavior. |
Question: Growing up do i honestly need friends/family support? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 03:37 PM PDT im twenty living with mom still. i got a job . but when i move out i just want to isolate myself. nobody teaches me nothing. i teach myself. i connect the dots and learn from other peoples mistakes. everybody just talks down about me behind my back but ask for advice when they're down (my sisters) .everybody is fake. do i honestly need them. because im perfectly fine without my family.? |
Question: Why are my parents always arguing with me over petty little things everyday? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 02:30 PM PDT I'm 25 and my parents always have something to complain about. I do my best to keep the house clean and get them groceries when needed. But sometimes I feel like I probably have to move out into my own space and do my own thing because they literally nag me for anything. My dad thinks I'm rude because he didn't hear me say hi loud enough and thinks I'm lying. My parents get upset when I make stuff for parties and don't share. When I have extra after the parties, they said they don't want my leftovers. They think I spend too much time with my friends when I'm actually hanging out with them only once a week or every two weeks. Why are they like this with me? Everyday? The funny thing is they're on their phones more than I am when I talk with them. |
Question: Why will he lose weight for someone else but not me? Posted: 27 Aug 2018 12:40 PM PDT My husband and I have been together some 16 years. Both in our late 40's. My second marriage, his first. He has one natural daughter and one adopted daughter he helped raise since she was a baby after her father was killed. She grew up calling him daddy and he has always looked at her as his daughter. She's 26 now with 3 kids of her own. Well, Last week she informed us that her boyfriend had proposed to her and they are planning a 2020 wedding. He mentioned that she wanted him to walk her down the aisle and he said that he wanted to lose some weight for the wedding to look good in his tux. Ok, when we got married some 8+ years ago he didn't lose any weight for me. I feel like he's placing his "daughter's" wedding over ours. No, he wasn't over weight when we got married but he could have stood to lose some pounds. Am I wrong to look at this the way I am? He'd lose weight for her but not for me. |
Posted: 26 Aug 2018 02:09 PM PDT I feel like if you tell young people to have big dreams it could put too much unnecessary pressure on them. |
