About my allergy to milk, my mother only found out when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Although my mother knew about the fact that I had an allergy to other things, because I got a anaphylactic shock after I got a vaccine, like every other child born in the Polish People's Republic, I was born in 1986, my mother instilled me because it was order to vaccinate all children, after they born. In any case, I got an anaphylactic shock :-( So doctor run barrage of test on my, and it's turn that i'm allergic on virtually everything, including the wheat, so i couldn't eat normal breed, but for me i outgrow of it :-) But thanks for it my mum get extra ration cards for food for me and for bannas with was rarity in communist Poland, because i have deficit in B6 vitamin and Iron :-) But about Milk she learn when i was bit older because i got often diarrheas. My mother was a very good mother and a woman, I know it's a cliche, but it is the truest truth :-) My mother, she had four siblings, she was one of five children, my grandfather was a sadist and a drunkard, he was a soldier of the Polish Home Army and had front neurosis, he often woke up with nightmares at night and sought his rifle under the bed. After the war, soldiers of the Home Army were unwelcome by the communists, they were perceived as British or American spies, which was often true :-) Suffice it to say that due to the fact that my grandmother raised 5 little children all alone, my mother did not have a good childhood, she spent several years in the orphanage. Where it was terrible, because there was not enough food, but they still got hot milk, all children liked it, but my mother smelled it and did not drink it, but the teacher forced my mother to drink it :-) Only when I was diagnosed was my mother come to the fact that she also has a milk allergy, but my dad and my older brother born in 1973, they loved milk, my mother also liked milk (my mother died in 2016) but sour milk :-)

I'm 29 and still going to school. I live at home with my parents still. My brother, who is younger, is graduated, moved out, and has a full time job. I feel like I'm never going to become anything more

When I was 15 my brother and I went to live with my aunt and uncle. Before then I had never felt many attraction towards my cousin. After a few months of living there I started having feelings for him because he touched me once, but I moved away right after and he said sorry. My brother has been gone for 2 years now, and I have nobody to talk to. So I m 17 now and so is my cousin, but he is a few months older than me. He is very fit, and handsome. I have tried countless times to get over him, but I just can t. Maybe I should just tell him how I feel to try and make the feelings go away. Please help I am so attracted to him it s not even funny. (BTW I m still in the closet).

Has anyone been in a situation where your parent or sibling or anyone in your family treated you badly all the time? Verbal, mental abuse? No matter what you did it was never good enough and no matter how you tried to talk to them about things they would get angry and yell and cuss you? How did you over come it and move on with your life? Did you stop talking and end it all together?

A woman who is 29 and a man who is 19 start dating. They've been best friends since she was 22 and he was 12. They've experienced different milestones in life together and have helped each other through hard times. They didn't do anything illegal while the man was legally underage. They are mutually very protective over each other. They know each other inside and out. Would you still say that this age difference is too much?

Me, my little brother (22) and a few friends decided to get together at a cabin for the week while we're out of school. The plan was to mainly drink, camp out, fish and do a bit of hunting. The area we are in is a bit far out and kinda hard to get to but anyway. Earlier we were out fishing by the lake out front and my brother was playing with the dog and somehow managed to lose his footing and fall in. The lake is kinda frozen but not really it's like a thin layer of slush at the top. Thankfully, it was fairly easy to get him out but it took a while bc the spot where he was at was at a steep edge and we were trying to avoid falling in. He was only in there for about 20mins tops and was alert for the most part but seeing as he weighs maybe 130lbs, his body wasnt handling it well. We finally got him out and he seemed fine, he was laughing and even hyped about it but we had to help him walk inside bc his knees kept buckling. But once we were inside and trying to warm him up he collapsed. Then he kept waking up and passing out over and over again. He's pretty much dry now and wrapped up in blankets but is still violently shivering and in and out of consciousness. I made him some hot coco but he refused to drink it, he said he couldn't. Do we just keep trying or should we call someone, it's just I'd hate to have them make the trip up if he's fine but it's been almost an hour since he first fell in and he seems to be getting worst not better.

or should the kids stay in touch with the father?

I was told a week ago that I was no longer needed at my company due to slow workload. I am living by myself for two years since my mom passed away in her house. I only got $10 an hour at work and should at least get unemployment. I have a brother living 5 hours away but isn't in moms will since he never contacted her. Is it always better to tell others I lost my job even though it feels embarrassing to say?

I got a call from my ex mother in law, Pam that her husband Jim had died. I really liked Jim when I was married to his daughter. Pam wanted me to say a few words about Jim at his funeral. I agreed to do that as Jim was a really nice person. Then something unexpected happened. My ex wife Jill called and said if I was at her dads funeral her current husband would not attend as he did not want to have anything to do with me. I told her I was sorry to hear that but saying a few words at her dad's funeral was a commitment I had made to her mother that I intended to keep. I told her I would leave the funeral after my talk and therefore would not have an opportunity to meet or interact with her current husband. Does what I plan to do seem reasonable to you?

Do I just right "Merry Christmas" on Facebook or actually call? My parents are seeing him on New Years but he and his wife are too immature to face a sister of my Mom's who was rude to them. Their 3 kids are now missing out also. By their I mean my brother's 3 kids. The aunt only has adult children. Anonymous: Glad you are following. Usually I say "my narcissistic aunt" as I want to solve both sides. My goal is to fix the situation which is is why I bring it up so much. After Christmas I will lay off the topic until summer. Best wishes and thanks for following. Merry Christmas.

Basically my mom ordered me a very expensive gift from ebay for Christmas. The problem is 1. She overpaid by a lot which is making me feel like a POS. 2. The seller has 1 review and it's someone saying the product never came. 3. It's been 5 days and it still has not shipped I messaged him 2 day ago and he never messaged back. 6.It's coming from literally the other side of the world and we move in 15 days. It would not be an issue because it's not my money getting wasted but I know when it never comes she is gonna be pissed at me because she wasted her money. I brought up twice that she should cancel the order but she just gets really mad at me. So she is totally getting scammed and I have to watch it play out knowing she is gonna blame me. Only in my family could a Christmas gift turn into a stress fest.

It's annoying and he keeps yelling at me and bossing me around since I'm youngest child in family with two brothers no sisters.

She is 25 and still does this. vote_libertarian_in_2008 -- Good point though in this cause my Dad tried disciplining her and it was our mother who over-ruled the punishments everytime and created a monster. Same thing happened in my Mom's family with one of her sisters' who is a monster and narcissist.

We hate him. Since he is family we still love him even though we hate him.

Ok so basically I have an autistic brother who still lives with my mom and he is very impulsive. Right now unfortunately I live back at home now and I felt like I needed to talk to my mom because I'm not in the best health because of anxiety and depression and I felt like I was having a heart attack because of drinking too much caffine. She was just trying to calm me down and my brother thinks he has full control of everything including her and I didn't get to finish talking to her because he wants to attack anyone who even tries to get close to her. Does anybody else have this problem with their autistic son or daughter when it comes to trying to be close with your other children?

My girlfriend's brother's fiancée came to me crying she said she's not sure she wants to be with him since he's bi-sexual she doesn't believe in that so she's not sure about it she doesn't know how to tell him also she's pregnant with his child. She's really upset over it she's been really sick lately too. She's the manager for our band she's been coming to work almost everyday throwing up. Yet he acts like he don't really care she's starting to get worried. How can I help her ?

My parents say no and I'm too young to even go date, I want to be a living organ donor because I feel like I've done nothing with my life, and might as well potentially improve another, what do I say to my parents to convince them

She gets upset if things don't go exactly her way I try to tell her how i feel and she just makes me feel bad about myself She makes me feel bad about myself a lot. My dad tries to talk to her about her being unfair to me and him. But she just gets upset. Sometimes she'll even hit and push my dad during their arguments. My dad wants a divorce, but then my step mom makes him feel bad and guilts him into staying. Is there anything I can do to make her be nicer? I'm 16 so i can't move out

My older brother (older by 3 years) and I grew up as the only children. My entire childhood he made sure that I knew just how inferior I was to him, I wanted him to like me so much that I tried to be the best sibling, complimenting him, sticking up for him and doing nice things for him but he always seemed to ignore them and continue mocking me. My mom told me that one day when we were adults we would be friends, that gave me hope and I wanted that more than anything. As teenagers he seemed to ignore me more than being right out mean and he got married straight out of high school. So we never had that time to just be single adults together. I left to go to college a few states away after high school and ended up staying there permanently. I have come back to visit him and his growing family and have sent him, his wife and all 4 of his children gifts for Christmas and their birthday. He would always tell Facebook before me when his children were born and never has called to say even a small thank you. In 14 years of living a few states away from him he has never visited me, I thought he must be busy with his family. But I recently found out that he has been taking yearly trips with friends to my state less than an hour from me. I told him that I was hurt and he cut me off and started to shout at me over the phone so I hung up. Is it worth it to try to talk to him about it or should I just let that relationship go?

I'm 39 year old and my dad always tries to put me on the spot on family events . He always works it in the conversation and says stuff about how I don't want kids, and says that women who don't have kids are no good that they are good for nothing. I told him that I wanted to buy a bigger house and he said that it's not necessary because I don't have kids. He says that adopted kids are not the same as having your own because it's not your blood. I need something to say to him that will make him stop.

My brother is 26, I am 21. I love my brother very much, but over the years he has been a huge bully to me. Weeks ago he kept picking at me and making me feel bad because months ago I had to leave early for his birthday dinner (at the time he said it was ok). He kept saying he wasn't coming to my dinner. Then he went off how selfish I was because of my birthday. This went on for 2 weeks. Then when I was working on a art project that I was working extremely hard on he says to me "wow looks half finished, it's due tomorrow. Maybe if you didn't hang out with your friends last night it would be done." That hurt me, I told my mom that, my brother comes in yelling at me calling me a idiot repeatedly, and a narcissistic liar, and leaves, deleting me from fb.Next week it's the day before my birthday and he proudly tells my mom he's not coming. I cried all day. I made a fb status saying how I didn't understand how people could be so mean to ruin things for other people. I did not use names. It's my bday, he drops off the wife from him and his wife. I texted him to thank him and blocked my number. I used my moms phone, and he answered, "I'll come for dinner but not cuz I want to." He did not speak to me. He only came so he wouldn't upset our grandparents or because his wife made him. He thinks he's the victim in all this. He has not spoken to me before, but this time he took things to far. He ruined my birthday. And he thinks he's the victimWhat do I do? He has hurt me very deeply. Dropped off the gift**

I love family, immediate and extended. My parents say loving family they dislike is a symptom of Autism. That makes no sense. How do I get them to see it is not? I am an adult with Asperger's Syndrome. I live on my own and see family when I wish but get much grief if they find out as my parents like holding onto grudges. I feel like getting them back by holding onto grudges against their friends or my sister. My sister is a classic narcissist. My mother's one friend is a slut and another one is nice but stirs up dirt on the family. So how do I get them to see Autism symptoms do NOT include seeing relatives despised by Mom and Dad?

K-Mart was the only place I could go to buy powdered laundry detergent. I used to go there every month until my niece and sister started living with us and we'd always be tired to go all the way there and back.. plus I was trying to save money by only buying the detergent every 2 months because of finances. I wanted to go 2 months before it was gonna close (before any1 knew it was closing), but got tired cuz every day we'd be with my niece and also my mom and dad, the drivers, would be too tired and didn't feel like going there after my niece would be in a place playing all day. So if I bought a good amount of stuff from their website, would they be more likely to open back up the physical store? (Their online store is still running as far as I can tell... they still send my mom coupons through email good for their online store.)

I feel so lost, his whole half of the family has rejected me. I feel so alone especially here at Christmas when the rejection is marginalized by all the family love in the air.

Jason: yes sinful

My son's behavior is out of control. He is 11 and hits me and gave me a black eye. He is always cussing at other people and us. (We don't swear or say anything vulgar) One time he said "Can you f*** off and crash your car?" And I was so done. I grounded him for Christmas Break (happened in 2017). He has been in ISS (In-School Suspension) for 5 times. Even called the police on him.

In 2016, my only son graduated from high school. I gave him $600 for a laptop he wanted for youtube recordings. I never saw him again. He is now 20 years ago. Child support deductions of my biweekly check stops next year when he turns 21 according to NY STATE Child Support Laws. This is my third Christmas without my son. Apparently my ex-wife said something to him in hopes to separate us. This was her number one goal after we divorced in 2003. How many reading this post can relate? DO NOT ask if effort has been made on my part to contact him. I have done all I could to reach out to him to no avail. What do you say?

This year my wife's immediate family is gathering for both Christmas and New Year's. Part of the reason for the gatherings is that their mother is not in the best of health. Hanging out with my in-laws isn't at the top of my list of fun things, but I will do my duty to my wife and children and go to the Christmas celebration. Do I need to go to their New Year's Eve party?

Whenever me and my parents fight whatver I do and say is "across the line", for example my parents will call me names like '****', 'asshole' '*****, and they say that they can call me that because "that's how I'm acting". But as soon as I call them a name like 'stupid' they flip out on me, and start ranting about how I'm the child and I have to obey them and they go on and on about it. Then I cut my arm up with a knife and my mom went and told a bunch of people saying "hey look she's a cutter," she said as she grabbed my arm and forcibly pulled up my Sleeve. Just some things: -my parents fight often (can be violent) -my brother will become violent with me when we fight(he's younger than me tho) -my last big fight with my mother she slapped me across the face and spat in my face -whenever I'm a slight inconvenience my parents will flip out and start accusing me of manipulating them and taking everything for granted -I wore a skirt out at night and as I left my house my mom screamed at me saying I was going to get raped because I looked like a slut -whenever I eat something unhealthy my family members will say that I'm going to get fat and they'll say "to late" I'm 125lbs and 5'6 -they'll sometimes joke about how I'm going to die young -Last huge fight I had with my dad he grabbed me and dragged me done the stairs and forced me into the car Another fight with my dad he threatened to punch me and ended up pining me down and cutting my hair while my mother video taped it

So I'm away at school and I'm currently home on break. I love my family very much and I am close to them however when I'm home it stresses me out and I don't know why maybe it's because I have to drive my dad places or my cousin gets mad if I don't spend a lot of time with her. I also have to choose between which side of the family to hang out with because my parents are devoriced. We spend Christmas Eve over my moms sisters house and I love doing it but it makes me feel lonely because everyone but my 11 year old cousin has a significant other and my dad family likes to point it out that I don't have a guy or that They don't know why because I should have all the boys chasing after me. I'm sick of it. I guess what I'm trying to say is it wierd to feel stressed and depressed when I come Home even though I love and miss my family ? I feel like I'm constantly being pulled by everyone in so many different directions.

My Mexican mother-in-law has been taking care of our kids for a long time. She is getting old now, in her late 70s, so as we paid off the house and my wife makes more than me, we decided I would take over now. Our youngest is in middle school and we have a special needs child who has finished high school. My mother-in-law has also been a negative influence on the kids, trying to turn them against my wife and I. The youngest is happy I am getting him after school and looking after him until mom gets home, but the older boy with autism is very angry and upset because his grandmother has brainwashed him to think we are bad parents. He always complains because we have too many books around the house and we never go to parties and our house is old. These are some of the things she complains about and he is not sophisticated enough to come up with this. The other day, my wife had to work late at a parent-teacher conference and I made chicken parmigiana and spaghetti for the kids. My mother-in-law showed up unannounced with a bunch of steaks and insisted on cooking them. She deliberately gave me two specific steaks. I ate about half of one and it tasted awful! Gamey and unpleasant and worse than any other steak I have ever eaten. I felt really weird for the next two days. Kind of light-headed and sleepy, with painful gas trapped under my ribs. I am feeling better today, but I was starting to think something was really wrong with me. Do you think she tried to poison me

reunion.I m an Electrical Engineering student,I use makeup and I m not going anywhere.They must still think they are cool and I m not.

Shouldn't he just bake GF cakes for everyone?

They find out cause she lives down the road so they will see my car there and they look almost like they are obsessed on what I am doing.
