I need to leave my home. but I'm a minor. I have good reason. The reasons being my family only makes me want to kill myself, and my mom threatens me, just a moment ago she said "I'm gonna crack your skull open and kill you." What would happen if I left? would I go into foster home?..

Growing up I never had a relationship with my dad. He went to prison when I was 5 and even since then he had always told me the same stuff that he was going to get out and we would all be together but he would also at times alienate my mom and make her seem like she was controlling and horrible. In a way, he would turn me against her. After years, I kinda would check in and just tell him how I was but with like 2 emails (if that)per year within a 13 year span. He recently and unexpectedly got out and I kinda just am not having it. While, I don't hate him for not being there, I just feel like I don't know him and I do not really care to and I don't want to force myself to. I literally could care less. Now everyone is harassing me to have a relationship despite the fact that less than a year prior had hatred towards him and would get mad if I even emailed him once. I told him how I felt and now everyone is calling me a ***** and I should just give him a chance even if I don't want a relationship. I didn't feel any remorse when I told him I want nothing to do with him and I am normally someone who feels bad for everything and is typically a pushover but All he's done since he got back is get me into more arguments with my mom than I already have. I'm just saying, I'm 19. I live alone. I support myself. I'm an adult. Why should I be forced to do something I don't want to do? Am I in the wrong and am I just being heartless?

I need help asap with my brother !!! He is 13 years old. He sneaks out the house pushes his fourwheeler out the driveway and rides up and down the roads smoking weed , planningg partys and drinking wine coolers. my mom has sent him to the light house he does not care he said he would even go back he made friends there. he does not care if my mom sits there and cries when he does bad things. my parents have searched his room several times and found pills, weed, cigarettes, empty bottle of robitussin, etc… my mama has taken everything out his room down to not even having a door. He steals money & was texting someone trying to trade my sisters gun for rolling papers… It doesnt matter how much trouble he gets in, he seriously doesnt care at all. He is such a believable liar. My sisters winecoolers went missing out the fridge and we asked him if he had taken them & sayd heck no he doesnt even like alcohol he didnt even know it was in the fridge , then my mom found a video on his phone of him drinking them… anyway my mom doesnt know what to do and she even asked me what she should do about it… we need help seriously can someone please throw some ideas at me ?? anything will help. He has been bad since he was 3. He snuck out the house at 3 and went walking down the road. he got a chair and unlocked the door. A few days ago he even unscrewed the motion lights at his grandmas house so he could sneak out. HELP!!

To tell you the truth, I have felt absolutely no different and no more maturer in my own body being in my 30s than I did when I was 18 years old, neither physically nor mentally. I can still be just as immature, have a bad attitude, have arguments, get frigid or even scared on certain matters and I dont have that over-mature voice as such and I am still quite baby-faced. However, I exercise everytime I get up in the morning and I do wash a lot. As for shouting from my stomach at an older man when I get angry with someone, I have experience in doing that when I was 18. Anyone can do it. The only difference is that I have taught myself to be resilient and keeps everything to myself with my own twisted point on things so that I can have clean control from what everyone else embraces themselves to be involved in and end up with all decent people of all ages shaking my hand in seeing my point on things. To be referred to as "grown men" I would say you would have to be AT LEAST 42 years old, infact I would say even older than that. How can you be compared to grown men in that context as such at only early-mid 30s, you wouldnt even look it.

Even my Mom she has bashed though she seems more careful about that. No one in the family likes her but several of us are still cordial to her including myself.

I am 16 years old. I feel awful about fussing with my mom but she mad so I almost cussed her out that's why I walked away and lied. My step sister started the fuss by stealing my money that i have been saving. At first my mom didn't believe me and said spent it on cloths and my stupid boyfriend, then she saw her with my money. My got the money back for me gave back to me and I said I have to get you to school and I said I don't want to ride with the Golden Child I will ride the bus I hid behind in the basement until they left. I feel awful about getting mad at my mom and lying to her. Should I call her and tell her the truth?

I have 8 kids, 2 pairs of triplets, one pair is 6 weeks old the other is 18 mths, and 3 year old twins. I'm 20 and the dad is 55. I want a break to assassinate Donald Trump tonight.. Who wants to watch my kids ? Edit: I don't live in the US so? Also I'm joking....

It was not criminal porn or anything, but naked adult women pictures engaging in sex with men while my Dad had his hands down his own pants. He got agitated I walked in the room and said he was doing something for work so I acted like I did not not notice. He just got divorced for the third time. My Mom was his 2nd wife.

Like, i had a normal childhood and great dad. Ok. But, why do I STILL keep having crushes on ONLY older men? It's abnormal, because they're usually at least 15-20 years older. That's sick Why could this be happening if I'm not psychologically disturbed?

Hi so I'm a 23 yr old male living with my father and ****** up super mean brother who is 2 years younger than me. Ever since my childhood my brother hasn't been the nicest person and till this day he's gotten worse. He bullies me, belittles me, gets his friends to disrespect me/ harass me and there was one time his friends got drunk and swung at me, he's a heavy weed smoker and loves to get drunk. HE'S TOXIC. He's even told me a billion times "I DONT LIKE YOU" he makes it seem like I am the bad person when I'm really not. I trey to be a good person, and don't have anything bad towards anyone, life is too short. On Halloween night he thought i wet his sheets when i didn't i just sat on his bed after the shower on accident then he comes home and smashes my phone that already has charging issues, he breaks my belongings. He's a medical assistant brags about how he makes 20 an hour and that he drives and can **** a lot of guys and I am still a virgin which i don't care about because it doesn't make me less of a person lol. He recently got diagnosed with syphilis. Bottom line is I can't take it anymore. I'm trying my best to move out. This is who i cant consider family anymore. He's lost himself and I don;t need to deal with bullies anymore. I;m ready to live my life and I feel hurt. Please give me serious answers, there no need to troll. it's 2018

I am very close with friends who's family is all kinds of messed up. There's relatives fighting (not physically) each other over land and property from another country (their family owns them due to their lineage or history or something like that. They don't pay taxes for them but that's a different matter). Its really easy to tell that a lot of them are fake because you'll hear all the bad things they say about each other and then you'll see them hugging and smiling to each other's faces. On top of that, they've got relatives suing each other for something that their kids did to each other when they were younger in elementary school and their kids are either finishing high school or have graduated already. They're really messed up.. the start of all their family drama was one of them wanted to have control over all of their lands on the other country and tried to kick their distant relatives off the lands to build a business there but the others disapproved so there's been bad vibes between all of them for years. I'm friends with some other teens around my age who are all cousins from this family and it's affecting them too. At first they all used to be so close but now I don't hang out with all of them anymore because some of their parents told them not to talk to their other cousins. It's a miracle my friends (the cousins) are still able to be respectful, mature and sweet to other people despite all the crap their family is putting them through.

My parents recently kicked my sibling out who was doing heroin and had really dirty habits. There is trash everywhere throughout their room along with needles, condoms and old food. My parents can't get in there and clean it, they're old, and none of us wanna take the risk of being poked or getting sick. We can't find anyone to do the job, is there any specific service I can look for?

I have nothing to live for. I'm always in pain & crying, but no one ever sees it. My dad is emotionally abusive. Even though I told my mom, she still sends me to see him. I just want it all to end.... Help me please?

I was yelling at my brother and dad who were making me really upset because I'm trying to sleep & was doing a quick puzzle before bed and I couldn't consintrate because they had the tv and surround system really loud so I turned it down and they turned it up more. Needless to my brother and I were fighting and he pushed me and i know i hit my back on the edge of my bed but i didnt feel anything and then my brother asked if i was dead and then he left. Then my mom asked where i got hit and then she just left and shut my door and It hurts to breathe and now i just kinda feel like i died.. and im scared.

I'm 17 years old, I live in New York, and my parents are currently going through a messy divorce. My mom is moving to a different town. I love my mom, but I want to graduate with my friends in my hometown. Is there anyway I could choose to live with my dad?

My mother has no confidence in me at all and it get very toxic in this household with her negativity. I am 19 and I got a job and even though I got a room in her house I want my own space. I found a hotel that charge $160 a week. My question is would it be a bad move on my part to move out my mother house and into a hotel room?

If it were my Dad or something I think he would understand. An uncle I think he will be nasty about since it is not immediate family. I would feel horrible not to go though so will need to be off Thursday.

In every conversation, my 80-year old aunt is telling me negative & private, embarrassing things about our relatives, including members of my family, and some of the things she says are untrue and grossly exaggerated. It makes me wonder if she s doing the same behind my back. Why does she do this? I ve never met anyone like her, to have bad things to say about everyone, except her own self.

I am an adult but I know it will cause a conflict. My Mom doesn't like doing her families' Christmas gathering. I feel it is what makes Christmas even if there is no formal gathering and I just make individual visits with my grandmother. My grandmother will likely tell me to go with my parents and not worry about the others. Yet, I hate the thought of having to go to the beach for Christmas with just the immediate family. The beach is two hours away. I might go the week after Christmas still. So how do I stay home while not causing a big conflict with my parents and grandmother? I am 31 so an adult living on my own yet the inner child in me hates conflict. I am also worried the extended family will overlook inviting us thinking I am with my parents and three sisters.

I have met his parents about three times, but I've never met him or his siblings. Even though my family has no issues with his family. I am not close with my cousins on either side, and I'd like to get to know him and his siblings a little better. However he just got married and it doesn't seem like a good time to meet him or his siblings. Any advice? How should I go about this?

So, I just heard from my half sister whom I never even spoke too, never had contact with for almost a dedcade, the last time I ever heard and saw this person was in the 5th grade. Literally. Im 24 now. It's been years, my mother kept telling grandmother (whom I never really see either) that 'Moana should talk to her half sister grace' and mother would always pester grandma, and really, its just a lame exuse because mother hasn't even seen grace in 24 years, and shes just using me as an excuse to get to her: to "reach out" and grandmother somehow only has contact with grace, and GUESS WHAT, grace sends me a email, after all this time, after over 12 years, SHE SENDS ME A FREAKING EMAIL: "(and turns out she had my number and email since mother sent out my business card months ago) and grace says this: "Hi Moana, its grace emailing you. (like is she freaking serious after all this time?) Grandma called me today and said that you wanted to get in contact with me? Last time I called you which was years ago your mom called me right afterwards and threntend me saying don't ever call you again or she would call the cops.. so I have never tried to contact you since. I had to set up boundaries in my life for myself and my family. I have always wanted to have a realtionship with you.. but sadly your mom has kept us from that. Well here's my email. We can start here if you like." Okay, so what do I do with this? Just a add on: This person is a compelete stranger to me, she even told us in a letter the very last time we heard from her, that she didnt tell her 2 daughters that we exisit: so, is she suddenlly going to tell them after all this time.. Something just doesnt add up. I feel like shes being forced to send that email, and contact me if she had my number and email MONTHS AGO. Like im 24, she didnt come to my high school grradutaiton, my college gradauton, my 21st birthday, is she really worth it another add on: like its ovb she doesn't respect our mother cause she uses the blame game, it was my mothers fault when it wasnt, and "your mom" like we have two different mothers?! Like it pises me off, that she has the nerve to contact me out of the blue like that, my question is: should I make a realtionship with my half sister, whom I haven't seen in 12 years: After all I said, do you think shes worth making a realtionship:

My friend invited me and my sister to his house along with a few other friends. I live about 5 blocks from him. My sister couldn't come so I went by myself. I drove myself there. One of the two friends had a wife who was going to drive him home. The other friend who also came by himself drove himself home after drinking half a tequila bottle himself even though everyone warned him not to. He claimed he was ok to drive. When they started drinking, I said I was going to drive so I couldn't drink. They kept insisting that I leave my car there overnight, uber home, and pick my car up in the morning. But I said it's ok, and that I would drive home and not drink. One of them even said "you knew you were coming why'd you even drive." Whenever my sister comes she is ok with not drinking and driving us home, but this time I didn't drink since she wasn't there. Do you think they will think I'm too boring or not fun enough to be invited anymore? They were probably excited to see me, but maybe disappointed that I couldn't drink

I am 15 years ago. Anyway my Stepmom's rules are stupid. I don't care if she goes in my room or go through my stuff I can't stop her so why make a big deal out of it. The rules that are get on my nerves are the stupid big Sunday family dinners and movie night, the rule about my mother daughter day, and the rule about the we must talk to her and meaningful long conversations. She thinks that hiding something from her because I am not replying to my stupid ex boyfriend text messages, I havent been relpying to my friends text messages because I think texting is stupid. But I am not hiding anything from her and dad. Star of darkness did you not READ I wrote. I DON'T CARE IF SHE COMES IN MY ROOM AND I DON'T CARE IF SHE GOES THROUGH MY STUFF AND I DON'T CARE IF SHE READS MY TEXT MESSAGES.

My brother is 49 years old and he and his 2nd wife just split up because he couldn't keep it in his pants. Several years ago they built a house from ground up and shortly after that she found out that he had been cheating on her by paying escorts to have sex. They went to counseling and he felt that if she would have continued to give his sex 3 or 4 times a week like it was when they were dating he wouldn't have had to go look elsewhere for sex. Even with my master's in counseling I tried to explain to him that most married people in their late 40s don't have sex that often in a week. I told him that he was showing the signs of sex addiction. Paying random women for sex. Bringing several into his home. Countless visits in his back seat behind buildings or going to their hotel rooms for 15 or 20 minutes. Mind you, I didn't say all, I said most. Well, he felt like the counselor they were seeing wasn't on his side. Many times I told him to stop but his response to me was, "you don't sign my paycheck." So I left it alone. Several months ago they decided to just stop making their mortgage payments just to be stubborn. They house was sold and the marriage was all but over at that point. So they had to move. Instead of looking for an apartment he decided he wanted to keep up with the Jones. He's a deacon at his church and a number of the higher ups were all getting new vehicles. Once the house was sold he looked to walk away with about $30K. So instead of looking for an apartment he decided he wanted a new SUV. No, there was nothing wrong with the one he had but he just wanted to drive something nice like everyone else. He and his 21 year old son had to move back in with our parent. He's sleeping on the sofa and my nephew in sleeping on the floor. Well, he's been there less than a week and today I find out that he is now the owner of a new / used Chevy Tahoe. Again, there's nothing wrong with his other SUV but he just wanted something newer to show face at his church. He's basically homeless at the age of 49, working on his 2nd divorce, but instead of taking that money and trying to find somewhere to live he decided to buy a truck. Me and several of our siblings feel that he has his priorities in the wrong place. He doesn't see that the money he got should have been put to something other than a nice shiny new toy. So now he's got 2 SUV parked at our parent's house. He's got his clothes stacked all in the living room of their house. Furniture in storage. But . . . he's walking around saying how good the Lord is blessing him all the while, lost his home, ending his 2nd marriage and still thinks that he deserves sex several times a week and isn't above paying for it. Is this a case of good things happening to bad people? The people at his church don't know that he's been openly cheating on his wife for years yet all the while he's one of their honored deacons getting the respect of the people at his church. Please help me understand this. I want to say something to him but I don't want to get into a pissing match with him so I'm going to just not say anything to him because I have already tried. I'm sorry this was long but I just don't understand his line of thinking. Instead of looking for an apartment and banking that money for when he really needs it, he goes out and buys a truck when there was nothing wrong with the one he had. He just wanted another one cause everyone at his church were getting new vehicles.

Me and my dad watches porn once a week... Usually on a Friday night.... Call it male bond or whatever you want... But he would rather spend time with me instead of having sex with mom... And I would rather not go out with friends to spend time with my dad.. Anyways, we have been male bonding for 3 months already... I like it but lately I've found my dad heavily handsome.... He's fit, good looking, smell good and has a nice looking penis.. Looks way better than mines.. Weird aint it.. Anyways, one day while we were watching porn I got excited lean over against him and jerked him off just to feel his penis... It was very nice feel.. My dad pushed my hands away from his penis and told me WTF you doing son... This not right... So I stopped and went completely soft..... Next time I want him to feel comfortable for me to jerked him.. I want him to know it's OK...... I really don't want our male bond to stopped... But he's been avoiding it for the last two weeks.... I did put on father and son porn once just to see if he likes it... Maybe that was the reason he doesn't want to bond again.... Any thoughts on this?

My Mum passed away 2 and a half months ago after an on and off 10 year battle with cancer. My Dad, brother and I are all absolutely devestated. However my Dad has now found a new partner, who was one of Mums friends. I am not sure how to feel. I want my Dad to be happy and I don't want to restrict him from anything as it's his life, but I find this incredibly soon to have moved on and it hurts a lot. My brother has taken the news awfully and is refusing to speak to my Dad. I don't know what to do, as I am 50/50 on the situation. When he told me I told him it was ok as I want him to be happy but now after speaking to my brother I feel more upset about it. Should I tell my Dad I also find this too soon? (We haven't even scattered Mums ashes yet) Or is it just a case of how people grieve differently? Thanks
