Yes, I have taken care of my mother 2-3 years and paid off her home. No my mother never raised me or my siblings- we always in some way taken care of her. I have my family and can't afford to take care of my mother and 3 children. Social security keeps denying my mother for disability and my mother can't work because of her health. I wanted to be away from my mother so I can have breathing space for me and my kids. I get an income and I have my career in the medical field. She can't move in with my other 3 sisters- one is in a one bedroom home, the other is at risk of finding somewhere to stay, and my oldest sister has a husband - pretty soon hopefully I get married and settle down when I come across a man for that. I want privacy and space for me and my family - seems there is my mother and her need of being taken care of. I have a 2 bedroom home and she would be sharing a room with a 3 and 5 year older

One was neglectful one was abusive. Does that make sense?

I am the black sheep cause growing up I sometimes did things to displease my mother whereas my two sisters were super good. My mother was especially embarrassed and won't let go of how I made a threat in junior high that got the police called on me. I am 32 now and my mother has not moved on and my last serious offense was freshman year of high school when I smoked pot with friends. Yet all these years later my Mom rejects me and loves my sisters but only tolerates me. I can tell by things like her big Facebook posts to my sisters on their birthdays, I get a text "Happy Birthday" and nothing else. Another example is how she invites my sisters to go places with her, never me other then picking me up for a family funeral once and then complaining she had to go out of her way to get me so a cousin drove me home at the end of the day. This weekend she is having a big thing with her two daughters and their families as well as my Mom's sister and her kids who are in town. No invitation to me so once again I will miss out. I only learned via Facebook and got grief for inviting myself when I asked once if I could join (maybe that was rude). I am an adult with learning disabilities and no desire to get married so I am alone a lot. I am the only son. Our Dad left when I was a baby because of alcoholism and he and his family were out of our life. He died long ago. I might remind her of him being the only son. How do I get over this hurt that is so deep? I do things to impress her but they never earn me more then once or twice the word thanks. I thoroughly embarrassed her as a kid and so she doesn't like me and my sisters go along by ignoring me. None of the Baptisms have I been invited to and got grief for the one I went to anyway (maybe that was rude). I am an embarrassment and alone in life. Any ideas at getting over this? Lastly my mother's siblings and their families generally ignores me though they reciprocate a little when I reach out. My mother has poisoned their minds about me.

An aunt is a narcissist.

There is a family holiday coming up and we are all going to Spain. My nephew is getting on mu nerves because he went out a purchased a Spanish translator book, I asked him "Why?" and he said so he could mingle with people there and I told he he just wasted his money and time because everyone speaks English there. He told me that he wants to experience Spain and it's language and culture but WHY? What can I do? Everyone speaks English in Spain anyway so why bother learning another language when you can just speak in English and people will still understand you?! We're from the UK, England.

Where i live cars are so ******* annoying. And trust me.. its not my fault... im pretty good person but people around me treat me like ****!. Plus with the cars around me i sometimes get mad and sometimes end up hurting a family member.. the thing that needs to get hurt are those cars... please answer me. Im so poor but its not my fault...

Hey guys. So i asked the girl that I like about her type of guy but she never tell mez What does that mean? Why dont girl just tell about what kind of person that they into?

Recently my parents and I had to fight and I had to escape and homeless , but no homeless shelter or jobs wont accept me without my personal documents and no matter what I say to my parent she refuses to give me my paperwork. She has been trying to make my life as hard as possible and im afraid she gonna try to pretend to be me making me owe a lot of stuff.. Im only in my 20's and my life is in a deep hard shell.

Every little issue he runs to his siblings to tell them all our business. I dont tell any of my siblings our issues bc they would dislike him and there would be a lot of problems. He tells one side of the story with issues and makes me look the bad one when in reality if his siblings new the whole truth of most issues they would wonder why im still with him. How can i get him to stop this. Seems Like his sister doesnt like me now

My boyfriends sister is renting this apt through section 8. She hasn t worked since she was in her 20s she s 40 now. Her father pays all her bills. All she does is beg everyone in the house for money. I have to pay her every week instead of every month because she has no job. she literally lays in bed all day and talks about everyone. Should I go stay with my mother until I get myself together.

I failed 3 classes in my second semester of my Sophomore year so my mom made me take summer school. And I failed that too because I was late everyday and got 6 tardies (which count as absences) so I was grounded for the remainder of the summer. I wasn't even allowed on a family trip to Arizona so I decided to get back at them by spending $1,000 dollars on fantasy sports. Well my mom checked her credit card and realized she was missing $1,000 dollars from her credit card and she confronted me and I confessed to her that I stole $1,000 dollars and my mom lost it at me and told me I was grounded for a year After school I went straight to my room, only came out for my two meals a day and my bathroom break. (After that I had to use a bottle) Summer was so hard and boring. I couldn't leave my room to see any of my family during our reunion And my family wasn't allowed to come up to see me. I cried a lot. In July my mom found my question on yahoo answers and she moved me to the garage and I had to sleep on the bare garage floor with nothing and had to stay in THERE for a month. I wasn't allowed on the vacation this year either. They locked me in the garage and Put Sandwiches in the fridge and put a camera in the garage to make sure I only ate two a day. When they got back she made my sibling tell me about all the fun I missed out on Now I am finally ungrounded. Well not totally. I got my laptop and phone back but I'm only limited to 2 hours a day on it and she also blocked websites like youtube, twitter, and facebook and she deactivated my steam account. I'm still only allowed one helping of food each meal. My mom gave me my bedroom door back but she removed the lock. I don't know how to celebrate now since I'm not fully ungrounded and I don't know if I ever will be. My mom said I haven't learned my lesson yet and if I try to tell her I have she will threaten to ground me for another year. So what do you think I should do? Last October my mom grounded me for a whole year

Can someone explain sibling rivalry to me? I am an only child so that concept is totally foreign to me. My husband has 2 brothers and they always try to out do the other. If one get something, the other 2 try to get a bigger and/or a better or more expensive one. No matter what it is they will waste a lot of money trying to out do the other. This makes no sense to me. Why do they do that?

My dad and mom seem to have never grown up. My dad will get mad over the smallest things, like someone like my grandma, who's hard of hearing, not hearing him. He'll stomp around the house screaming,"No one f***ing understands me!" And will start blasting music. When someone asks him to turn it down or stop, he'll either try hitting them or just scream at them until they're scared. My mom will also get mad, but she's more childish than anything. Sometimes she doesn't even act like my mom, she acts like my older sibling. She'll whine at me and try to fight me. And even when she complains about needing money, she'll spend it on useless expensive things that she uses once before not caring about it. I just feel lost because of them. I need a full time parent, not someone who's a parent sometimes and is a child every other.

That's why i'd rather not be around her to avoid death stares of angry white men.

She is a despicable human being who never grew up thanks to our mother spoiling and enabling her. Yet my mother complains of her parents doing that for her sister who also turned out rotten.

It's a long story so I will cut facts short. My brother who is a grown man has never been good with money, he is self employed however is constantly in debt this year he lost 3 houses he has had debt issues since his early 20s . He is easily about to make thousands of pounds however he is also able to spend that money even quicker he has very reckless spending habits. I have borrowed him over 15000 pounds all my savings and constantly have to help him. Once again he is asking me to take out credit for him , what do I do if I don't I feel guilt and fear as he keeps his emotions to himself I just fear in case one day it's gets to much for him and he takes his life or something crazy like that as it is common for men . To top it off my other sibling guilt trips me too saying I always help my brother and never borrow the other sibling money they are both older than me also I don't work at the moment, I just have savings from student loans and past jobs. I need to think about my future Too if it wasn't for family I would have money for a car a deposit on a home I also fear once I get a job they will constantly ask for money

My nephew is 29 (I am his aunt) and he only prefers hanging out in small groups. He only has 3 friends and no girlfriend and very rarely hangs out with anyone else. He says he gets along pretty well with people at work but doesn't hang out with them outside of work. He never goes to parties, large gatherings and will never start a conversation with a person he sees on the street or on the bus. Even at family gatherings he will only take to one other cousin and is very much quiet at the rest of the day. I think he is either rude or has a mental disorder (like autism) he insists he is fine the way he is but I think he needs help to be more confident, everyone else is very extroverted and to be that shy and quiet is a sign that something is wrong, I have asked him many times about his feelings and he gets irritated at me (could this also be a sign something is wrong) I have told him many times that he is nearly an old man and that if he doesn't expand his horizons it will be too late. Should I get a therapist or just try and make him more talkative myself?

since my daughter was a newborn husbands family was never really involved his mother had a grudge against me she wasn't ready for her son to grow up. We got into it a couple of times due to this situation she would always admit it tell me things like as if I wasn't good enough for her son he never got involved when he would she would say he's not supposed to pick sides . my family has always been very involved with my daughter So whenever we go visit my husbands mother she treats me very rudely ignores me as if Im not there whenever my daughter's spending quality time with my family he gets jealous says it's my fault I explain to him that his family chose to stay away so he takes it out on my family whenever my daughter spends quality time with them he makes up excuses for us 2 leave & he starts arguments with me whenever we are at his families his mother is ignoring me I dont get involved with them spending time he allows my daughter to spend time with his family 4 hrs. He allows his family to go against my rules but when my family slips up sometimes he'll say " I thought u didn't like her doing that" whenever we are at my families my mother will want to take my daughter to the park or for a walk an hell tell me he doesn't trust other people watching her but when we're at his mothers his mom will just take my daughter without consulting me or my husband and I will let him know and he'll tell me she can because she hardly sees her and my mother sees her more anyways

I'm 15 years old about grown and I don't need my stepmother hovering over me. I hate her stupid *** rules we must eat supper at as a family. No young lady you are not allowed to stay out till 2 in the morning you'll be home at 11 p.m. Sharp or you can't go out with your friends. No no young lady Sunday is family time you cannot go out with your friends. No young lady you can't smoke or vape. No young lady you're not allowed to drink alcohol. No young lady you're not allowed to skip school anymore. Last month She got highly upset because I would not hand her my report card I told her that it was none of her damn business. She ain't my report card out of my hand looked at it and had the nerve to ground me for month until I get my grades up my dad agrees with her. She also grounded me for 2 months cuz I snuck out on Sunday night and didn't come home till 4 in the morning and and my dad agreed with her again. I want to move back in with my mom cuz she loves me more then my father and stepmother my mom buys me what I want and she lets me do what I want she doesn't care if I smoke and drink But I can't move in back with my mom because she's in jail I hate my stepmother she is evil. I hate my stepmother stupid rules. Should I yell at my stepmother and tell her to screw her rules? I hate my stepmother stupid rules. Should I yell at my stepmother and tell her to screw her rules? I just don't like how my stepmother is always in my business. my stepmother is so afraid that I'm going to sneak out at night that she has been sleeping in my room I deserve my privacy. I'm angry because my mom did something stupid and is jail and I don't have anyone. My Dad and my Stepmother are making me go to counseling which is BS I am not talking to some quack. My stepmother check me out of school early for this BS appointment. I wouldn't even talk to her on the way to the quacks office. I refused to talk the counseling and she asked a bunch of stupid questions. On the way home from the I wouldn't talk to my stepmother. I just looked out the window ignoring her. stepmother was being nice and she told me that loved me and that I would have to start talking to her again. When we got home I went to straight my room and started doing my homework and my stepmother came in and started hovering over me she asked me what I wanted I for dinner I lied and said I am not eating tonight I have a stomach ache. She hugged me and told me that she loved me again I'm not talking to Dad or Stepmother anymore. I'm going to ignore them cuz i can't avoid them but I don't have to talk to them. I am not eating with them either. I'm going to kept to myself and stay out of their way. After School I'm going straight to my room and do my homework then I'm going to bed. And I'm not going to talk to that goofy counselor. The only person I want to talk is my mom but I can't. My stepmother has been trying to make talk her but I don't have anything to say to her.

I had recently contacted my dad I haven't seen him in 13 years I had found out that my mom kept me away from him. my dad told me that my mom and my granddad got the court to not have any contact with me. My mom told me that my dad cheated on her and left us for another family and my dad is telling me that my mom cheated on him and that he left her but didn't leave me. He also told me that my mom had put a warrant out for his arrest and that they have to go to court for that to for abandonment. I told my dad things that no one knows about I told him I was depressed after that I didnt hear from him for 4 months he wouldn't answer his phone when I called him or text message him I would wait a month or sometime weeks before I can get a reply. I also found out he has 4 daughters my other grandma (my Dad mom) told me. He recently gave his attorney my phone number and he called me I didn't answer he wanted me to help him with the warrant I'm at a point we're i don't know what to do if I call the attorney my family on my mom side is going to be mad at me. I always wondered why I couldn't have a dad. I'm worried he might tell the court that I'm depressed I really need my dad I feel like I'm in the middle and I don't know what to do . Sometimes I feel like I am going to have a mental breakdown. I didn't know that everyone was going to be mad at me for contacting him. He's the only person that knows that I'm depressed My mom had a warrant out for abandoning child because he wasn't there growing up and he has one for not paying child support I feel like my mom isn't telling me the truth about everything and my uncle seem scared about getting involved. My dad feel like the only reason why she kept me away from him is because my dad ended up getting married with another women and she didn't want me to be around her. My dad also told me that she hid me from him My dad said that he could him up going to jail and I don't want him to go to jail And yes I asked my mom if she cheated she got mad at me for asking her that and all she did was deny everything

They've spread rumors, stared at me (constantly come near me just to stare at me), boss me around and my dad never defended me and let them stay at his house. I now have to start a new life trying to move on from all of those events.

Through out my life ive noticed im absolutely nothing like the rest of my family. Everyone is quiet amd reserved, and im bouncing off the walls. I dont think i look like either one of my parents either. My family is into more science and logic and im more into art amd creativity. My entire life i havent really felt like i fit in and im really different. I was born in Illinois and moved to Mass when i was 2 (im now 22). I've been kinda wondering, was it possible that i somehow got switched at birth? Id like to get more info on looking into this but not sure how? Id like to do it in a way that my parents dont know. Maybe hair samples or something? Something less obvious than a cheek swab. If anyone could point me in the the right direction id appreciate it very much!

He is not that comfortable around me but i feel like he is still a little nice in his own way

my family is so loud when I am doing homework. My family is constantly baby talking my 1 year old baby brother and they are doing it all day long non stop it never stops and they are so loud about it and it annoys me severely to the point where I want to move out but do not have the funds yet. Please someone give me advice this is absurd.

My husband's 11-year old son is always wanting him to sleep in the bed with him when he comes to visit for the weekend. When my husband says no, he cries until my husband gives in. Last weekend, he cried until 4 in the morning when my husband finally caved in. I suggested that my husband seek therapy for him, but he doesn't believe that'll help. We've also tried asking him why he can't sleep alone, and he won't give us an answer. Is this normal behavior for a boy this age?

I m 15 and I m turning 16 soon and my parents are divorced with my mom holding custody. Is it possible for my dad to put me through these courses without her permission?

My 11 year old sister came to me today and said someone 'put their phone up my skirt' I was so worried instantly after she told me this, so many thoughts were going through my mind. I don't know what to do. She doesn't want to talk to our parents because she's really embarassed, i asked her who did it. And she said someone in Year 11. Which are people who are like age 15-16, this made me even more scared, she said that they said threatened to kill her family if she didn't let them take more photos of her, i feel so scared and angry, PLEASE HELP ME. My sister begs me not to tell our parents, oh god i don't know what to do.

I can't go into details, but every day I end up sobbing because of something one of my parents does. I'm terrified of my dad and my mom is only nice during the day. I always feel like I should feel bad because my parents are nice at points and if I say something I'm harming that person. I love them but I can't keep doing this and feeling like I want to die. Am I overreacting or are my actions justified...?
