Well her wedding is expensive. She paid for most of it. My mom has paid hundreds to help her tho. And I have not even heard my sister tell her thank you. She has 120+people coming and she expects a few of us to buy the food. When she found out my aunt was bringing paper plates, she was like "I want plastic cause paper looks cheap.." and she asked my aunt if she would bring (buy) plastic and then I told my sister she shouldn't expect that cause 130 plastic ones may be expensive and mu ain't is already bringing alot of food , and so am I and my sister hasn't even said thank you to me she just says "make sure you bring enough cause there's alot people "

so it all started when my little sister (who is like a mini devil who swears, kicks, hits, bites, and is generally very mean) stole something from me. I asked for it back nicely and she wouldn't give it and said that it was hers, even though it was mine. She's 7 and I'm 13. She started hitting me and beating me up, and I pushed her away, not hard, in self defense. Then she went crying to my mom that I stole something from her and beat her up. My mom hates me anyways, so she took the chance to hurt me. She started digging her nails in my arm and trying to drag me outside to kick me out. I started crying because I was so upset, and I was trying to get away because it hurt. And then she called me crazy and physco, and said she was going to admit me to the mental hospital and put me in a boarding school. Then I started saying I hadn't done anything wrong, and she slapped me in the face. I desperately tried getting away, and even crawled under a table because I was so scared. She dragged me out and started kicking me, and kicked my ankle so hard that I think it's sprained now! I was begging my dad to take me to the hospital but he called me a spoiled b**** and told me to shut the f*** up, and many others curse words. My ankle was bleeding, and twisted or sprained, and still is. I need to go to the hospital, and I promised I wouldn't tell how it happened and would say I fell, but they still won't take me. What do I do about this? My moms never been this violent with me.

Okay so yesterday my stepmom went to the store and bought candy for my dad he works second shift and I was awake when he got home. He offered to split the candy bar with me and since I was hungry I said sure. Today when my stepmom got home she yelled at me for eating it and called me fat. I apologized but she's ignoring me... I don't think what I did was that bad but idk someone help ASAP

Okay so my aunt is often asking me to go with her to the beach since she has two little kids and she needs help to take care of them, also I think she feels lonely. The problem is that I usually say yes but it's always exhausting to go with her, and even tho I love my cousins they can be really obnoxious sometimes, and I always come back home outraged and nervous. But also I don't want to let down my aunt, which is the best thing to do?

I've been doing this for years. I'll meet a guy and I will either like him or I don't like him that much. I give him my number and we text for a week or two. Then there's either something he does or I just lose interest really fast before we actually have the first date and I just end it with them. They usually get really angry because they became very attached to me. And I'll just block their number so they can never contact me again. I've noticed that I'll start talking to a guy I know I won't date. But for some reason I talk to them. I also noticed when I am getting to know them I am really nice, like crazy nice where it almost seems too good to be true. One half of me is actaully being nice and the other half is me being fake cheesy over the top nice. Usually being this way makes the guys I talk to get fully attached to me. And then I just tell them that I don't want to talk to them anymore which upsets them and they usually blow up. The thing is... I don't know why I do this. I've done it probably 15 times. I also don't know why I start talking to someone I know I wouldn't date. Do I have some weird commitment issues? What is wrong with me? Please be kind because I really want to change.

Hi my name is John and I am currently 4th grader in my college after 2 yrs off. There is mandatory army service in my country and I received letter that I should go army. But I think I can postpone 1 more year. My parents are forcing me to go but I am nor ready or wish to go to army right now. I am considering suicide as my priority option if they really force me to go despite my own will because of number of reasons. First is family, second is my culture and third is for justice. My mother has minor disabilities in her face that was kind of abnormally made by her parents and my dad was a saleman that moved 5 times during my childhood and now work at home full time doing stock trading. The only happy memory I have as a child is watching cartoon on TV. I was abused by my mom severely as a child. I was actually a shy person and not a brave person(at young age) so all she did was making me think that I cannot do anything successfully and alone. They pretend to raise their child normally and little freely but none of the few friend they have (from work and family) were treated like I did. I hope people reading this could understand how traumatizing having no childhood, no love from parents, abused from parents could be traumatizing. Let me tell you it is beyond what you all think it might be. Having a bad childhood experience can destroy your whole life in my opinion but people don't see this if they didn't expereice it themselves. It gave me emotional scars left on me forever, made me different from millions of peers my age going to school and most of all it hindered me from succedding in life so I could get away from my parents. 2. As you all know it is a strange trend since 2016? that asians always think of themselves as superior race and act like they have done so much for worlds technology and the world will literally collapse and disapear without asians. I always felt skeptical on these trends. I was also irritated that my country people live in a delusion that everytime they live as the most deligent people in the world, every time another ethnicity insults them in some way, unbelievable phenomenon will happen to those who opposed them like terror. Recently, natural disaster cause 500 casualty in Japan 200 casualty in China. For me, I just felt something was wrong endlessly and endlessly. Why fight other ethnicity and always have hidden hostility inside just because of difference when the other ethinicity did nothing wrong to me during this times? Now I know for sure that these trend will continue unless war,fighting is completely gone in this world. How I do know this for sure? Long story short, let's just say I saw the line from the movie Island staring Ewan Mcgregor "WHATEVER YOU DO, do not trust these people. Lincoln Tom. These people will do anything to survive. In real life. in a small, asian way..... I guess 3. If my parents force me to enter the army despite my will, I am thinking of suicide as my priority option. I have never been happy in my life because of them and I think I think the only way for justice is leaving this world. Question is how should I talk to my parents? I was planning to just let out all the injustice and wrong they did to me my whole life and fight them. After 1 failed attempt, and watching endless evil and sins of other people, I think I have the courage to do what is need to end my life. I wish I could tell you all about how traumitizing my life is how I am a honest good person and devoted christian I am. But this is all I could write for short yahoo answer. Thank you for reading.

My niece is ill and now it's gotten so bad she can't walk and perform the simplest tasks of everyday life for herself. My brother (her father), is very poor and the rest of the family and I have been lending him money, he also has to go to work. We've been alternating shifts going over to her house to take care of her. But I was thinking of when one of her uncles is on duty, he has to take off her underwear to put her on the toilet. She must be so uncomfortable and embarrassed about this. Should I just hire someone all day to tend to her or is this okay? you LOOK so stink I have to poopoo

My mother in law had me over to paint up her dog's kennel and after the job was done I stayed for dinner. She's recently divorced my mother's father so on her part did nothing wrong in seducing me. I acted on my feelings in the moment and can't look at my wife I've been avoiding contact with her and to make things worse I'm still doing jobs around the house for my mother in law who keeps wanting more to happen between us. I don't know what to do I've considered disappearing from everyone I've destroyed my marriage and my young kids will grow up to hate me. I feel embarrassed more for turning to strangers on an internet forum I'm desperate for help I know I did so much wrong can somebody please give me advice I dont know what to do.

My son and his girlfriend have been dating for 3 months. They are both 22. I was skeptical of her at first because I didn't want her to break his heart. All my sons girlfriends broke up with him and I feel he's never really met the one. But this girl started to seem like the one to me, even though they've only dated for 3 months. She seems more mature and well rounded than my sons past girlfriends. Also... I don't want to sound like a gold digger but she comes from a rich family. She could take care of my son and we are a family known for struggle. Especially I was a single mother when I raised him, I want the best for him. I was hanging out with a very good friend of mine, bragging about her to my best friend and eventually my son and his girlfriend came over. We were all drinking. As I started talking to her I said, "I see you two getting married. I want to let you know that I want to be involved in my grand babies lives. In five years or so of dating I know you two will be married. I see a future for you two." Then her face shifts to a face full of shock. Basically a deer in headlights face. This is my first time talking about this with her. She doesn't say anything after I'm done talking and I say to her, "Do you see that?" And she stumbles with her words and says, "Uh... yeah... I see a future with him...." This is a bad sign, right? I also found out this is her first relationship. I feel suspicious of her now. I feel like I have a reason to not trust her now.

I'm a 14yr old female living with my mother, her boyfriend and my two little siblings. My life seems pretty complicated to me.. My real father is a drug addict while mother apparently is too her boyfriend has told me. One moment she can be nice but if you say the wrong things she goes off like a bomb and starts saying really rude things about me and about my father which I dread the most. She calls me names but mostly ***** or say I'm dirty, threatens to punch me and other stuff even when I don't even mean to be rude (I don't think i even was being rude but to her apparently I was) then she'll start talking about my dad "go live with your drug addict father who can't even support you" then call me a ***** or **** and tell me to 'lose your additude' even when I'm not doing anything. She's only came at me physically a few times, she calls me dirty and other stuff. I've cried infront of her before and she just really doesn't seem to care. I've been depressed since I was 12 and back then I lived with my dad and I'd just lay in bed all day, I still feel depressed and lay in bed a lot but my mother's comments make me feel worse and I've tried telling her but she doesn't even listen to me.

I know I write about once a week about it and apologies, it is just I fear the family rejection so much and I can't ask people or I will seem intrusive. On here it is strangers. How do I get over this fear and pain that my Dad might do this? Since I am OCD about it he is bitter about it and plus with my Mom's side of the family he likes to hold grudges for my mother. So how do I get over this fear and pain? He refuses any reassurance as he believes OCD is self-inflicted like drug use.

My brother died when I was 28 at the age of 34. Now it's almost 2 years later and I'm still sad. I have gone through the grieving process so I dont know why I'm still so sad. Shouldn't I be over this already? What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldnt be so sad still. He was my only sibling and my best friend.

so I'm 13 years old and going into 8th grade. I REALLY want to be able to make more of my own decisions, but my parents are constantly on my back. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom and dad to death, but For example, I've been playing he flute since I was 10, but now I'm not interested anymore, yet they force me to do band when I'm miserable. Also, when I go shopping for clothes with my mom, she constantly criticizes the clothes that I like and also the music I listen too. I also have severe anxiety and they just don't understand. They constantly think I'm hiding stuff from them or lying to them, but it's jsut hard for me to communicate my feelings and thoughts with them. (Just a side note, I've beeen trying to lose a bit of weight, because I'm a little overweight, but they tell me I'm perfect and won't let me go on a diet, they think I'll develop and eating disorder so they feed me more junk food) any answers are appreciated💞 I jsut need advice on how to tell them what I'm feeling. Thank you! -Abigail

I am 24 girl, still living with my parents because I have no luck with any job, Still studying. My parents don t care, but I want to move out but still can t find a job that pays enough for me to move out. Should I finish my studies first or should I drop out and find a real job to move out?

They bad mouth me a lot especially her sister, she gives head like a total idiot and no matter how many times I ask her NOT to tell her sister it's like she can't wait to. Her dad keeps coming over demanding to talk to me to the point where I peed out the upstairs window on him but he just got mad and yelled. In my opinion it was funny cause you should have see me laughing but he just got madder cause he has no sense of humor EXACTLY like my girlfriend's sister when I came inside her cuz I JUST washed my sheets! Now her mom is all calling my mom non stop and that's a super bad move cuz my mom says she's gonna "shoot that *****" next time but when I went over there to warn her for her own sake they all chased me down the street til I started throwing rocks and I'm hella good at throwing rocks except I accidentally hit the baby cuz the Gramma was carrying the baby it's not my fault I was aiming at the Gramma not the baby so no the baby all has an eye patch and that's a whole new issue. I told her I was just gonna break up cuz she's too much drama but unlike her sister she's a straight up pro at head so idk. My friends tell me to break up with her tho cuz of the age difference cuz she's 15 and I'm 32 and may be too mature for her but we're in the same grade so idk.

We broke up about a year ago because we were fighting and arguing and his tense family circumstances didn't help as his brother was diagnosed with kidney failure. During the fight he said i didn't know how to treat a man because my parents were divorced and i hadn't seen a loving relationship like his parents. I then went on to say that his mom had no voice in their household. He attacked back saying "at least she didn't come to church dressed in club attire, arms and legs showing" I then responded which I shouldn't have "your mom looked like she came from the stable, you never buy her new clothes." Fast forward two months I saw him staring at me in church so I texted him but he said he would never forgive me and wouldn't allow himself to have feelings for me again because of what i said about his mom. I didn't respond. Every Sunday in church he'd keep staring at me but I gave him cold looks and avoided his looks. He started smiling and talked to me as I went down the stairs saying hi how are you. I saw him peek through a door crack as he walked past to see if i was still looking at him. The other Sunday, he walked past me and smiled and I smiled back and he winked at me. Recently I've been warm to him looking at him and smiling. I texted him the other day and this how the conversation went. I asked about his brother then he asked me about school and when I get acceptance letters. Is he interested? Why isn't he making a move?

Like most people don't care about me or just seem not interested in me, but I've met some relatives or friends that seem to not want to see me happy, even if I didn't do anything wrong. Some people want to see me fat, ugly, have bad grades, etc. they don't wish me well.

Two weeks ago my daughter got married During the months leading up to the wedding, her father and I didn't really offer her any help or support. Once in a while we would casually say ' if you need something just ask' knowing that my daughter wouldn't ask. Some times she would say she wasn't sure if they could afford something, which I would reply ' can you get overtime at your job?' About a month before the wedding, I asked her how she was going to get to the church. She replied that she and her fiance we're driving themselves due to not being able to afford a car or limo. We asked her, what would you want on your special day. My daughter thought and said a limo is nice She smiled and said it was always a dream if hers for her wedding day. I smiled and patted her knee. However neither me nor my husband said we would get her a limo we just asked what her dream was. On the day of the wedding, she showed up to the church, in her car apparently confused. My husband and I were also late getting to the church because he wanted to check on our elderly neighbor. When we got there my daughter said she drove herself, that the limo never came. I asked her what limo. She looked so sad and disappoint, then said we missed out on being in some pictures. The rest of the day was wonderful, but after two weeks I haven't heard from her. Some friends say she was hurt that we missed the pictures and didn't get her at least a town car. Should I call and apologize? Or should she just get over it? We could have easily afforded a limo, plus helped with all other expenses. When we talked about the limo, we knew when she would need to leave to get to the church. While talking with her about it, she looked so happy and thankful, she nearly cried! But like I said, we never actually offered it to her, we were just making conversation. Also, my husband wanted to check on our neighbor so our neighbor wouldn't have to inconvenience his son. My husband got to talking and forgot about the time. He said our daughter needs to be more understanding.

My mother and her siblings hate his wife now that she's leaving him. She is the one leaving him but there's been emotional abuse by both sides over the years and two previous separations. The uncle was a bad alcoholic but he got help I do think the wife is somewhat an alcoholic. Wife's parents died and it seems like she was waiting for that to happen to get a divorce. The uncle's mother, my grandmother, it's still alive though our grandfather died long ago. So my disloyal to the uncle and my cousins who are hurt by it if I do not hate the wife? It's my three cousins mother as the couple had three kids. She would always get pregnant during a marital crisis but is now too old to. She is somewhat of a Golddigger but otherwise nice lady. So do I need to heat her to show loyalty to the blood uncle? We do hate my Gottes ex-husband but he was a whole lot worse as he was a sleazy pedophile pervert scumbag Satan worshiper Who is now in jail for 31 years.

Last night I couldn't sleep so I went and watched TV in the living room. Around 3am I guess my sister in law ( I live with her and my brother) went to my room to check on me and came downstairs to see if I was there. After telling her I couldn't sleep she checked my temp. She then brought me a pbj sandwich which I think had sleeping pills in it. Finally she grabbed a pillow and put in on her lap and told me to put my head down.

Im 17 and my parents are so strict. I understand they do this to keep me safe but it's really making me feel like they don't trust me and I can't tell them anything. Im not allowed to date. They've ruined a possible relationship with a guy i liked and who liked me back by telling me I'm no longer allowed to hang out with him, because they found out he likes me. Im not allowed to have guy friends but I still do, I just never tell my parents about them. I have a curfew at 10 pm, I can only be out later if there's an emergency. I'm not allowed to go for a walk by myself after sunset. I'm not allowed to watch rated r or ma movies and tv shows. I'm not allowed to go to parties, only to friends' birthday parties whom my parents know. I've never drank, smoked, or touched a guy. I haven't had my first kiss either. My parents are trying to make me continue living with them during college but i think I'm going to go out of state. They wont let me get a job because they think I'm going to run away. I can't wear the clothes I like. I get grounded so often for simple little things that I don't even care anymore at this point. I see how my friends have a trusting relationship with their parents and they can tell their parents anything and get advice from them and Im jealous of them. My friends tell their parents about boy issues but I can't even mention one boy without my parents going absolutely crazy and murdering me, even if he's just a friend. I don't know what to do with my parents

So I used to be extremely close with my mum, not so much with my sister and my dad I'm not really bothered about. Basically 4 years ago my mum got herself a boyfriend which I was happy for however it seemed he wasn't bothered in having a relationship with me or my sister and then my mum didn't seem to be bothered either. Like she had a new life. She decided to have a little family of her own and made myself and my sister homeless giving us a few months to move. I was working so that was ok but my sister was in a full time degree doing over 40 hours for 300 a week, I supported my sister in that time of need but now they don't really want anything to do with me, yes I was horrible to my mum about the situation however she never understands what she did wrong. Anyway I'm getting older. Making the effort to go over their way, asking if they are free, making sure they receive their presents but this year no one has bothered with me. And I'm just sat here thinking to myself why do I bother. Nothing is ever returned. So what do I do about the situation and how do I let this caring about a family that aren't bothered go?

There has been a few things that have happened in a few months. My dad got "fired". He was working with his childhood friends and thought it would be a fun thing to do. However, a couple weeks into it his "friends" noticed how good of a worked my dad is. He began as a dish washer, then prep and then was an actual cook. In a little less then 2 weeks he was doing more than what they had been doing in 5 years. So because he was newer they got him fired. One of those friends happens to be my aunts husband. Who made a comment about him getting fired on Christmas Day and saying that I am like my dad. Stating he was an idiot and I am also an idiot. My aunt, her husband, my uncle, his wife, and my grandma were all present. Now 2 months later their daughter got knocked up and has no job. I have a full time job, going to school part time, just bought a car and i am an idiot! I am so mad at them for making such comments! They did not stop her. I do not wish anyone bad, but karma is good. I am still so angry with them! Their pregnant daughter comes over so my mom can make her breakfast and take her to wic, and get on Medicaid! I tell my mom to teach me how to cook, do laundry isn't that what parents are supposed to do? Teach their kids to be on there own! I can't do anything without her interfering trying to help! Am I wrong for being mad at my mother? She even got mad because I helped an elderly lady who has epilepsy! Someone who actually needs help!

I'm from 2002 and he's from 2012

He is drunk all day

i have 50/50 custody of my son who is currently on summer break, my 30 days of break is finished with him and now rest of the summer he is to be with mom...but i just found out from a relative that my son is in CANADA without her mother who is here in town busy with something....i guess her father came from canada and took my son over to stay with him for rest of the summer... i was never informed or gave consent of him going there without her being there with him...what should i do here guys its 3am and i found out 2 hours ago...should i go to police department and tell them the situation??

I parted myself from toxic family members after they tried to separate me from my mother. I became the scapegoat in this family, and everyone labeled me troublemaker when I tried to defend myself from their false accusations. Now me and my mom are like outcasts to them. Every so often they contact us just to see what we will do,or get a reaction out of us. I used to ignore sometimes up until they showed that when I ignore them, they just go and outright lie to other family members saying I never answer at all. I just filter what I answer, not completely ignore. We haven't talked for almost a whole year, ( which is usual for me) but new to my mom, so they have been trying to get info out of anyone who talks to us about how we were doing. Since it did not work they finally decided to text me yesterday to check on me and my family. I just answered that we were doing fine, nothing more nothing less. And later I get on Facebook and I see this status. " I cut everybody off, now I am bored as hell" with a laughing emoji. I'm hoping that somehow this isn't for me. But their track record of doing such things led me to believe it was targeting me. Do you think I am overthinking this? Or it could just be about anyone else?

I'm 14 btw. She met this person on Roblox, a kids game. She tells them her personal issues that she wouldn't tell strangers. Since the game has restrictions to prevent dangers, they found a random chatroom (or fanpage) where they CAN freely discuss. They even know what she looks like, her full name, age, city, description of her school. My cousin now considers them her "bestie" who can keep her secrets. I just think its gone too far.

So I'm 28 and my brother is 31. I always looked up to him as a kid and he had goals in life but for the last 10 years he has slowly made himself worse. He went to community college after high school and said he wanted to become a writer. During C.C. he started hanging around different people and started to use pot and xanax. He had gotten his associates degree (barely) and said he wouldn't finish college until he wrote his first book. This is when the major problems arose. My parents increasingly got mad about him doing nothing and when he almost got kicked out of the house he came up with his "story". It was remarkably well written and when my mother called to help get it published she found out he copied a novel already written. He was kicked out of the house for 2 years. He spent time on people's couches and almost went homeless for awhile (I was at college at this time.) Fast forward to today and he is the definition of a loser. He works part time at the local grocery store. He smokes pot daily and is a burden to my parents who dont have the heart to permanently kick him out. He hasnt had a girlfriend for years and weighs 250 pounds. They've tried rehab but it doesnt work. I know its bad but I think I should try and help him so he has a chance of turning his life around. How should I do it?

My daughter cries over things that weren't a big deal before. I don't tolerate her disrespectful tone. She gets enough sleep, eats healthy, goes outside and isn't interested in much screen time. I cannot predict what mood she's going to be in 30 minutes later from now. Her attitude became a problem within the last two weeks or so. Nothing in our family or at school has changed to cause behavioural changes (in fact, she's still on summer break). We don't see any problems with friends either.

Is it that people's brains are biologically wired to "need" both or the parenting isn't as good? They have higher risks of suspension at school, poor impulse control, criminal behaviour and gangs. Look at the communities where MOST people grew up in single families, for example. There are more mentally ill people. Schools have more children with behavioural problems (often violent bullying) in those neighbourhoods. At the same time, more children are emotionally vulnerable and have lower self-esteem.

I miss him. He killed someone with his car while drunk which was wrong but he is my Dad and I miss him. He is in jail for 12 years but said he will get out after 4.

I have a bunch of old pics from the Belmont horse races. these pics are horses from a certain farm and trainer. They are from the 60 s. I know the name of the farm and one of the owners (there were 2). One of them was the winner one year. Can someone suggest how I can find relatives of this gentleman. He was from New York. These pics belonged to his wife who was the great aunt of my mother. My mother inherited her house and now my mother has passed. I don t want to just throw them away if someone may be interested. If not, can they be donated somewhere or should I just go ahead and throw them away?

My mom insists on going on all my dates, I'm 21!! She doesn't like sit at the table with us or anything but it still feels really uncomfortable to me. I'm starting to really like a guy I've been talking to for alittle over a month, and i want more privacy, but I've asked and she doesn't seem like she's going to allow it, what to do?

I'm sorry if this sounds obsessive or dramatic. I want therapy so bad but I can't afford it. My sister died in April 2016 through a car crash. She was only 17. I swear she was my favorite person. She was my best friend. She was everything I wanted in a sister, friend, and a person. I loved her so much, and for two years I've tried to forget her. I've tried to forget it happened because everyone else in my family has moved on. I actually have a lot of friends but I swear I feel like I'm annoying them when I talk about it so much. I just want to wake up and see her alive again, but she's gone forever and I can't do anything about it. What do I do?

I am 28 years old

My MIL is overbearing, controlling, entitled, and needs constant attention. We live far away so she will stay with us on occasion but she overstays her welcome and constantly needs you to entertain her (she will be sitting on the couch when you wake up and first thing she says is, "what are we doing today?"). She plans visits, tells us she will stay a couple days and ends up staying over two weeks. She constantly needs to be the one to decide every meal we eat and loves to make remarks about how gross one of our dogs iswhile she favors the other one and spiols her with treats and walks and excludes the other dog, she so kindly put that, "she dislikes." Her visits, heck even just mentioning her, makes me cringe, makes me stressed, makes me hate everything about everything. The world literally needs to revolve around her especially when it comes to her son (my husband), he can do no wrong. He favors her needs over mine even when I was pregnant. I have so much resentment towards her but I am stuck with her so any advice?

For almost a year I have been a legit adult. During my whole childhood and teenage years, I was the one to avoid confrontation and to do just as others asked (I gradually learnt to say no more often than before). If you read my past questions, you can kind of see where my fear to confront my parents comes from. Even just saying a simple opinion or tell them how I feel is like taking a risk for me. Recently my parents made the effort to meet up with me and tell me how they worry about my drinking (even if honestly it isnt that bad, I've discussed about my drinking to my psychologist). They (especially my dad) wants me to go to 10 Alcoholics Anonymous sessions, to stop going out for a while and to figure out where I want to go in life. An AA member (good friend of my mom) who knows about my family issues told me that even if they worry about my life and want what's best for me, I shouldn't let them tell me what to do since I'm an adult and I should live my life and learn from my mistakes myself.

So, I have been living with my sister 4 years now cuz my parents and I don't get along. She is my legal guardian. The last year allthough he has met a wonderful guy. 2 years younger than her (he is 23). He is a wonderful person and he loves my sister a lot.He cares for me and he is there anytime I need him, like a father would do but I think he just don't have time for himself anymore.For instance last month , my sister was at work and he had arranged go out with his friends, I was feeling sick that day, I had a sore throat and terrible headache. Without even asking me if I wanted him to stay, he called his friends back and canceled it. I felt extremly bad for him and I was feeling sorry. He stayed there on my side all night so he will bs sure that I wont get a fever or something. I reallt love this guy, he is like my father, he is THE guy that I want to call father. Together we will have man to man conversations , we will play football, video games. I can't be mad at this guy, and he can't either. Is there anything I can do to thank him for all this? I just feel I have to.

When I got out of high school, I had a hard time finding a job. I finally found a job with good pay and a great boss. I consider myself the luckiest girl alive. I just adore my boss. He makes coming to work a pleasure. One day in his office I say his high school graduation picture on his wall. I told him that my mom went to the same high school. He asked what was her name in school. When I told him, he said "I knew your mom in high school. I can see were you get your good looks. She was the most beautiful girl in the school." He said my mom had been homecoming queen 4 years in a row at high school. Mom had never told me that. I wonder why? He said "I would like to see her again to catch up on old times. Why don't you let me take the two of you to lunch some time. I said "great I will arrange it". When I told my mom about this she said she did not want to see anyone she went to high school with. When I ask her why she told me she had gained 10 pounds since she was in high school and didn't feel like she looked good. I told her 10 more pounds in 20 years and after 3 kids did not change her great looks. She still looked great. 40+ year old women am I right about this? How can I convince her she is still beautiful and should join us for lunch? I think it would be good for my career to have lunch with my boss and even if it doesn't, it seems like it would be fun. Moms, please give me some help with this.

I'm 17, and my mother is extremely rude towards me. She snaps at me and takes her anger out on me for the most petty reasons. Today she screamed at me because she dropped a potato on the kitchen floor, and because she was "hungry". I was hungry, too, but before making food for myself I even unloaded the dishes which got me a very sarcastic sounding "thank you". I've confronted her and explained to her how I find her behavior immature and hurtful, but she always talks over me and/or gets angrier. I've tried to be the bigger person and to not engage with her in this state as it only makes it worse, and because I know I can't change her, but I fear if I don't get my point across to her she'll keep getting worse until I try to start working and move out. Plus, her behavior has also been a factor of my depression. What should I do?
