They like each other's but never mine. Do you think they are jealous I have a reasonably wealthy boyfriend and travel a lot? I've never actually done anything to them...,

If so, how hard is it being on both sides of the family? are you close to your siblings that don't have the same last name as you?

My mom and dad broke up when I was 5. When I was 7-8, my mom got engaged to my current stepfather. He treats me well, gives me money all the time, he's nice to me and I have no reason to hate him, but I just feel uncomfortable around him? The only time I come out of my room is when he's not home. It's making me distant from my family, I rarely even talk to my mom. The other day, I was going to help my mom carve pumpkins for Halloween, (my stepdad is allergic to pumpkins), and my stepdad came out to watch, so I went to my room and said I didn't want to carve one. Any tips, anyone having/had a similar problem? :(

My sister likes to smoke on the balcony from about 11pm to 2 am. She coughs and clears her throat so loud that I can't sleep. I have to sleep in the living room right in front of the window where the balcony is. Me, my father and sister live in small condo, so I have no where else to sleep. I constantly wake up tired in the morning with a headache due to lack of sleep. Sleeping in late doesn't help me. Only sleeping at night makes me feel well the next day. So I have to be able to sleep at night. Also lack of sleep makes my tics worse because I have tardive dyskinesia. Due to my condition I have to have it quite so I can relax otherwise I can't fall asleep.My father is too much of a wuss to tell her no and stand up for me. She is extremely selfish so she only cares about her self. She doesn't care that it makes me feel like crap. This has been going on since January and I am losing it. This really needs to stop. She is 23 years old and I am 27. My father has offered to have me sleep in his room but he snores really loud so that won't be any better. I have 2 bigfanss on the loadest setting because the sound is relaxing but unfortunately i can still hear her through the fans. Even if I listen to music with headphones I can still hear her. music doesn't help me sleep this is just to show how bad it is. I need her to stop going on the balcony at night. Is there any legal action that can be taken against her? What can I do to stop her?

If it is, I want to tell her. Well, she said her boyfriend (yes, boyfriend; my real dad is and has been forever gone) was pretty skinny. I don't weigh over 110 pounds, so I'm a bit underweight myself. But saying that I'm "fat" compared to him...is this okay to say? I mean, it made me cry a bit, but is this me just overreacting or did I have the right response?

I've come out of the rebellious teen years and now really love my parents, but I'm not good at communicating my feelings and can't hang out with them much due to college. I consider myself a decent son with all As, never getting in trouble, helping around when they need me, and planning things like father's/mother's day surprise parties and birthday parties, but I want to do more for them. Any ideas?

My mom and I get into arguments almost every day at this point (I'm 15 and she's 45)) She always throws minor digs at me, and when I respond in a rightfully upset way, she'll try to undo what she said and make it seem like I'm being irrational. Today, I talked to her about joining the debate team in school, and I said I ultimately would not join because I heard the members were condescending and rude. She said "You're right, you'd probably curse them out or have an outburst at them". Of course, I was offended and she said "Well that's what you usually do.". She then proceeded to say how I have outbursts with her (aka our arguments in which both sides get aggravated). I got upset and she said "see? You're doing it right now. I don't know why you're offended, I'm jusr saying these kids are probably rude and you wouldn't deal with it well". She tried to diminish the effect of her insults to make me seem like I had an irrational overreaction. After the argument escalated, she said "Sometimes I really feel like asking the doctor if you're ok." This is another dig she likes to throw around, as she always suggests that I'm bipolar whenever we argue. She'll sometimes use it as a derogatory insult, and then other times she'll act concerned and say "I want to help you". It's exhausting, especially because I'm not bipolar. I used to be depressed so I know mental disorders aren't a joke. She should know too.

...Sometimes he shout out my name and cries for help but she doesn't let me do anything, it's frustrating, i feel like i'm harming him by the fact I'm there but i can't do anything. What should i do? I swear to God, i wanna set the bïtch on fire!

When I say she'll move I mean the friend. I have only met the husband once so don't know what he is like. I know the wife who my Mom is friends with is a bad person. She has said she will leave the area when her husband passes on. So I was relieved to hear his cancer is back and likely terminal since she'll move. Yet I feel kind of bad since I should never be glad of terminal cancer news. So should I feel guilty about having these feelings? Of course I would never express them publicly.

I am not offended or anything as she is here with her mother who is my uncle's ex-wife so I am guessing the mother doesn't feel comfortable visiting. Also they are at a wedding on the mother's side of the family today and going home tomorrow afternoon so likely don't have time. However, I would have been so excited to have seen her after all these years. No one else in the family will see her when she is here cause of who her mother is (it was a nasty divorce). I don't believe in punishing the children (adult children included) for their parents wrongdoing so made the offer. So my question is since I am so disappointed how do I get over this disappointment? It will likely be a year before she is back (she said she hopes to come not this Christmas but next).

I'm 15 and my sister is 16. She is the worst to me. Sometimes when I ask my mum a question if I don't know something she will call me "dumb" when I wasn't even talking to her. She calls me the b word, hoe, ugly, dumb for no reason. I used to say it back to her but now I don't care, and I'm not the kind of person who swears. Just recently she gave me something for my acne, and I didn't know how to use it so she took it back. Now when I ask to have it back, she yells at me to go away and that it's hers. She doesn't even have acne. In front of her "friends" she calls me ugly and humiliates me because it makes her friends laugh. She would do ANYTHING to impress her "friends", including breaking her younger sister's heart. At the end of the day I'm her sister and I'm more important. I hate our relationship. I feel like I don't have a sister. If she asks me a favour I do it for her. If we go out somewhere I want her to come. If I asked her anything she wouldn't do it, and she would never miss me. Why do I still want her even though she hates me?

I want to go to a Marilyn Manson concert in December with my friends but my parents are acting stupid and they are saying no, they have the money to pay but they are just too cheap. What should I do and what should I tell them to make them let me cause I really wanna go omg

I recently had a baby a month ago and my child father and I are not together. We decided to co parent. We live in New York City and live a hour or so away from one another. My child father wants me to drop off and pick up our son every weekend to him. I explained to him that I do not take my newborn outside only if I have to and that he is always welcome to come over to my house to see him. He want to take me to court. Should he came see our son on the train? Or should I drop the baby off every weekend?

I'm 16 and my heart feels like it has been separated in two and destroyed. She was with me before I even knew it and now she's gone, it's almost like she was never here. She was the kindest person I've ever known who always put EVERYONE before herself but I never felt she was truly happy. I can't stop myself from thinking about the little stuff she would say or the little things we would do, movies we would watch, game we would play. It's like I see a piece of her in everything. I can't stop calling her phone just hear say her name on her voicemail box. I never ever thought I would face this type of pain. No words can express this pain and devastation. My mom was my core. I just keep remembering the times of me as a kid and her teaching me shapes, colors, simple words etc. this the hardest tribulation I think I will ever deal with. Man what I wouldn't give to see her or hear her. ANYTHING! One more time.

So my neighbor is nice and friendly but she's also a very loud woman. I can hear every time she yells at him. So she yells every day especially at night. And I hear it. I honestly don't feel like her reasoning for being upset is right either. It can be like 1am and she will wake him up to yell at him even on school nights. Like this one time she woke up like at 11:30 pm and was yelling at him from the living room to his bedroom what time was it. And he wasn't answering because he was asleep so she got mad. He woke up and said I was sleeping , what do you want. Which really angered her and she said I don't care I asked you what time is it. It was a school night and why couldn't she just go look herself? She was just yelling at him right now, I don't know what about but she said she will kick his ***. And I think he ran to his room and locked her out because she kept yelling at him to open the door. It happens only 5-10 mins every night but I don't know if I'm just over thinking it or if I should be worried because she is nice but she always yells at him. I don't know if she hurts him. But I hear her threaten to all the time. In my heart it doesn't feel right but I don't want to intervene if it's not anything bad. He seems fine and happy I've gone over there. They always invite me over, like I said they're kind. I just kind of wish she treated him a little better.

I am an adult in my late 30's, & as long as I could remember I have always had a hot & cold relationship with my Mom. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her, but she displays the tendencies of someone who is a pathological narcissist. I won't bore anybody about the myriad of problems & differences that we have, but everything is ALWAYS my fault. I try to treat people really great, but it makes no difference. There is a lack of accountability & empathy, & also a general lack of support. To make matters worse, whenever we have a fight, she calls my sister up about it & paints herself some sort of martyr. Then they usually meet up & do " the Mom/ daughter" thing, shopping, lunch; to talk about light-hearted things, & to discuss issues (which means she talks to my sister about ME). My younger sister has always been "the golden child" and most like Mom in every way; so her experience is a lot different than mine growing up (there was different types of abuse going on). With me, she talks in a flat and indifferent tone; with my sister, her energy & voice are light & lilting...as if she were addressing the Queen Mother! Anyways, I just wanted to know if anyone out there can validate my feelings, relate, or perhaps might shed some light on whether or not my mom really does have a narcissistic personality disorder? I am at my wits end, as this cycle of unaccountability/ blame/ guilt/ anger/ sadness and solitary. Thank you guys, I hope this wasn't too long a read— I actually condensed things!

I'm a 17 years old girl and I'm going to have my 18th birthday debut soon. I dread the day that I would wear a big gown and dance with boys that I'm not even close with. I've told my mom that I didn't want to have a debut and I didn't want to waste the money but she still keeps on insisting because she said that she wants me to experience it and she didn't got the chance to have a debut when she was young. I also want to cut my hair because I hate my long hair but my mom doesn't want me to cut it. Sometimes I wished that I wasn't born as a girl because I'm not comfortable with my body and they keep treating me like I'm weak and fragile and I hate it.

I am 17 years ago and my parnets are always in my personal life. Yesterday my mom found diet pills and laxatives in my room. When I got home from school my parnets confronted me I cussed my mom for going for invading my privacy. After two hours of fussing with my parents I told that I was Bulimic and that I didn't need and or want their help. I also told them that I can stop making myself sick anytime I wanted and it's the only thing I can control. My dad told they were going to force me to go treatment. I don't want to go counseling and I don't want to treatment. I don't need my parent's help and I don't need treatment. I can stop anytime I want to stop. I control what I put in my body and I don't put in my body. My bulimic is not their business.

I don't do anything. I have a job, I get good grades. My parents are constantly putting me down, calling me out, and they tell other people my personal business. I sometimes hear my mom on the phone complaining to her friends about me. I try and go out of my way to be nice and to be the best person I can be. But they both torment me and get mad at me for no reason. To the silliest things like I left a dish on the counter. Which I didn't do. My dad, mom, and even my older sister all gain up on me and call me out and tell me how much of a disappointment I am. I have considered killing myself because of this. There's no escape from this at this point. I'm only writing this to let it off my chest because I have no one to talk to.

My half sister, who is quite a lot older than me, has been saying some gnarly stuff lately. In the spring I found out that I was pregnant. This pregnancy was accompanied by strong and regular pain in my lower abdomen, leading me to suspect an ectopic pregnancy. I was 19, newly single and in no position to be a mom. But my health was a bigger concern at the time. I called my doctor who agreed it sounded abnormal and she scheduled an appointment for me later that day. Sadly, while for lunch with my sister and nephew, my pains got very intense and I called an ambulance. No explanation for my pains could be found. I called my sister to tell her about it. I had an abortion the following weekend. My pains stopped, and I was not emotionally affected by the procedure. This, my sister interpreted as me being proud of being pregnant. Which are the exact words she has used when describing this to family members. My sister and I don't see eye to eye on the subject but to say I am proud is false and honestly hurts me. I am not ashamed of it. But hardly proud. She has mentioned nothing of these thoughts to me. Should I confront her? Or just leave it be? Thanks in advance ^_^ Sorry! My bad wording. She didn't say I was proud of my abortion, but proud to be pregnant. I don't know if it makes a difference a such, but I just wanted to clarify it. Also It was not an ectopic pregnancy, as I mentioned no explanation could be found for my pains.

My son's father keeps claiming that he's moving to Mexico. He told me that last month and he stopped calling me for a few weeks then when I heard from him again he was still here. He continues to do this and it's really annoying. I just keep playing along and saying "ok have fun".

I've done basketball for three years now. It's my freshman year in high school, and I really want to tryout for the team. But when I approached my mom about doing basketball, she strongly refused. Her reasons being that she has to focus on work, partner, and she just blatantly doesn't want to have to pick me up after practices because it's too "time consuming." She's always been supportive of sports and being active, but recently even picking my sister and I up from school once a week for a vocal lesson has seemed like a burden to her. Every damn time she picks us up for it she yells about how she needs to be working, how we take up too much time, and that she's just gonna cancel it because it makes it so she can't work. I honestly can't imagine not doing basketball. Obviously I will need to start working on those imaginative skills or this is gonna be a bad winter. *just a comment, my siblings and I take the bus daily, so her picking us from school is a rare occurance

She is a bad person but I assume I can't come out and say that. She is very disloyal to the family, not even coming home for our grandmother's funeral in 2016.

Are am I no longer related since she left him? My Dad still sees him sometimes as my parents objected to my Mom's cousin leaving him for another lover. So I am wondering how I am related to this guy. ALSO---Am I related to my Mom's cousin's lover of 7 years? She is still with the lover but has not married him. So am I related to this guy? The lover is a loser so I wondered if I had to claim relation even if I don't like him. The ex-husband is a pretty good guy.
