My grandmother s sister-in-law had a grand-daughter. Is she my cousin? Or solely an in-law? Thx?

My mom and I really used to have a great relationship back when I was more younger and more of a tomboy. As I became more feminine she just stopped the complements and now we fight a lot. Does anyone know why.?

my mom grew up really poor. She's super frugal, and I know that's what you have to be to survive the way she grew up. But now, she's married to my dad who's literally a millionaire and they're both making 6 figures. But she's still super frugal about certain things and it makes no sense. She told me to apply for scholarships for grad school even though they've been paying $60,000 a year on private school and college every year so far. Grad school will be half that price. Also, I'm taking a year between graduating and grad school to do an internship, and she told me to choose the highest paying one even if it's not my top choice. My dad got annoyed cause he's always told me to do what I love and not worry about money. She also told me I should live at home during grad school but I don't wanna live at home until I'm in my late 20's. So my dad got annoyed and told her to stop stressing me out cause they can afford to pay for an apartment. She already makes 6 figures and she just got this huge raise and she's still like this. She got mad I didn't use a gift card to buy 1 song on iTunes that was like $1 When we went to Japan, we spent over $1,000. We always buy gifts for people when we travel. We were at a food market and I was gonna buy Japanese cookies for my friend, and she told me to go through the whole market to find the cheapest one before I bought any. The biggest price difference was $5 and we're literally spending over $1000. It makes NO difference. It's so annoying. Let's it clear that it's not just me. I know it's not my money, but she treats my dad like this too, although he's making most of the money. She gets mad at him for buying fruits at the farmers market instead of just going to a street cart cause there's like a $2 difference. She gets mad at him if he buys one extra shirt than he said he was gonna buy. It just doesn't make sense that she gets so frugal about these super little things when they're spending so much on vacations and living expenses

I am a 20 year old girl with a 42 year old single mom. My mom and I are very close. I have a great boyfriend Bob, my age. I had arranged a birthday party for my mom at a local restaurant. Many of mom's friends would be at her party. Bob was to pick me and my mom up and take us to the party. Bob was at my house waiting for me to come home when I called him that I had to work 2 extra hours. I asked Bob to take mom on and I would meet them there later and he did. At the party mom's friends ask her who Bob was. She jokingly said he was her date. Mom's friends thought it was great that she had a young date and Bob went along and played the part of her date. Mom loves to dance so Bob danced with her a lot. I did not know it but he is a great actor. When I got to the party, Bob clued me in on what was happening and since mom was so happy I went along. I had not seen her that happy in years. It was a wonderful experience for her. She said it made her feel young and alive again. At first I was not sure how I felt about what happened but seeing mom so happy took away all my concerns. She had given up so much for me, I was glad to share my boyfriend for one evening. Afterwards when I asked her if she enjoyed her birthday party, she said it was her best birthday party EVER. I think I have the best mom and boyfriend in the world. Please tell me if you think I am thinking straight.

Lately I been thinking I don't get a long with people in the house hold I am living in pretty much they tell me not to do something and act like their stuff don't stink then I snap I am this close to leaving will have no where to go cause I don't really know anyone I can find a shelter but what if they don't take me? I feel like everyone gains up on me and tired of it. Yeah it will be hard I am thinking of walking to a different state now though people dose it if they can I can I have been thinking about doing it for awhile now I am tired of abuse I will take physical any day honestly instead of neglect and other types of emotional abuse I wen't through for years. I do try my mom is the only parent here when I try to talk to her calmly she ignores me and again acts like her stuff don't stink I live with her and my brother applying for jobs my brother example will do something I don't like I ask to stop he doesn't I go to mom she tries to tell him to stop keeps going when I vent she ignores me but if I do something similar they both gain up on me like children least I have common sense. My brother is jealous since I am the youngest and came into this world but it's not my fault sometimes I wish I didn't. I just need advice of being homeless I'm not here to vent or anything I'm 80% close to leave I am looking for advice on google which is helping a little bit I have been thinking of this for about a year now I am old enough where she can't force me to come back I can't take this for granted lol you know I didn't sleep for a month cause of them they are messing with my health mentally I am tired of it again just give me advice for being homeless in case I make up my mind. Food I thought about I can get money out of the bank and use this homes address I am at right now. Honestly all I ask is for common sense at home if I don't common sense here I may as well be homeless right? The people I live with are to much of a narcissistic to realize that I even tell them I want equally they can't get it through their heads and no abuse when I was a child it was much worse they would do worse if they could but luckily I have more control now I am older. I can go on and on about this but I vented so much I get no help it was me crying for help instead I gotten people who are just as bad I just know I deserve better. They won't ever change. @Pearl I will look into that thank you

This is a little boy about 12. Was a very quiet child. For the past few months he has been screaming bloody murder almost daily. It does seem that he is going to school because I never hear it during the day. He screams ouch it hurts and help. It sounds like mental illness. But has I said, he goes to school. I can't imagine his parents are abusing him. They had a daughter who is grown now and I never heard anything. Its not stopping and he really does sound like hes in torment. Never hear a peep from his parents when the screams happen.

I just don't know what I did wrong he's only 10 years old and caught stealing and got kicked out of school because he was selling blunts...how is possible for a 10 year old to find drugs easily and know how to sell them to older kids. I've been called several times to school because he is beating up other kids. My home is never been a place of violence and we make sure we know what happenes in our kids life, we always have conversations, I try to keep my family healthy. But my son, I don't know. Should I ship him off, at least until he learns some discipline? Our family is from Ukraine. We where thinking a military boarding school would do him good since we have tried everything and there is no control over him. He even hit me and I'm his mother, he says he just wants to be a dealer. This is not my son, and I feel that if I keep him here I would sure lose him forever.

I feel like my parents and grandparents talk down to me like I am a 10 year old when I'm 22 and that they cannot accept the fact that I'm an adult. I feel like I cannot want without getting all these opinions that are uncalled for. I feel that when I say my opinion I am put down for it. My family is so dogmatic and domineering. They also treat my brother who is 29 like that. I feel like when I try to stand up for myself I don't win most of the time. What do I do?

Parent are both ill. Father has dementia and mother just had 3 strokes in 2 months. Wife is caring for them now. But is about to lose her job among other things important in her life. She has worked hard for these things and has no medical way of helping either of them other then calling 911. She has one week to get them some kind of assistance and dont know how. Any suggestions we are in California.

My parents are first cousins, which I do find disgusting but I can't control it, and i've been wondering, if I have kids, will they come out normal? My family doesn't have any diseases, my grandparents died of old age, my aunts and uncles are completely normal. I, of course, plan on having kids who is not related to me! I just want to know if there's a risk of my child having a genetic disorder.

I just got into a huge fight with my parents over my brother's behavior. He's been acting really dark and gloomy, and I no professional but he seems depressed. He's taken up drink and I believe he's cutting himself. I confronted my parents about it AGAIN and their insisting that he's doing it because I keep "babying" him and letting him see that I care. They claim he's acting out and if I just ignored him, he'd stop all of it. Basically saying that him getting worst is my fault because he's manipulating me and I keep giving him attention and trying to talk to him. They have taken the position that the whole family should just alienate him and he'll grow out of it but he's 16 and I'm worried if we all just give him the cold shoulder he'll only get worst and maybe do something cant take back. They're accusing me of being dramatic as if he hasn't been talking about death, suicide and asking about family and friends' funerals lately. Not to mention his seriously dark humor about it (i really dont even want to get into some of the "joke's" he's made lately). I's so angry that I'm the only one that seems to care and they're literally trying to make me feel guilty for and even blaming me.

Okay so, my dad and I play this game together. Like I was into it first and he joined in.. (As father daughter bonding) plus it's a great game that involves strategy and thinking. Anyway we joined this guild, and it has a bunch of guys in there. So I decided to pose myself as a boy just so I wouldn't get harassed. My father was well aware of this and he decided to go along with it. There is this one guy, we will call Daniel. He is a goof and he is really odd. He is super nice and all. He started talking to me a lot because I made an innocent comment and it turned into a whole thing, to cut things short he started making dirty ish jokes to me. No they weren't perverted and they weren't sexist. They were pretty funny fyi.. An example would be, I said Hi everyone. Then another member said something about Daniel. I said something, then suddenly he would come. I said something cocky that's why, he wasn't waiting for me to talk to comment. But my father had a problem.. He texted me one night and said wth, you and Daniel!? I told him that his jokes were innocent, and that he is just a little weird. A few weeks later Daniel was doing it again. Yet again my father freaked out. If he didn't want me hanging out with these guys, why join this guide?! I mean these guys are older, but they have no clue my age or that I am a girl. I know he's just being a dad but I am growing up and I can handle this sorta thing. I just want to be able to talk to someone without freaking out.

He left the house 8 years ago and he never responds. We are hopeful that someday he will come spend some time with the family, but it seems unlikely. My mother misses him very much.

My little brother and father always trying forcing they're work on me when I'm a round. I'll always do it for them and then when I need help doing something ( I almost never ask them or help with anything) the answer is no. Then then next time they try forcing me to do something I tell no and they get pissy at me.

Disappeared on purpose because the mom got her so mad that she wanted to be away from them and this was in a public city ... But the cousin did come back after an hour or so, but you were (a male) worried about where she was... What would you think or feel about these two?

Everything in my life is ****. My parents are dirt poor and I live at my grandma's house since parent can't afford a place of their own. My mom is as crack addict and thief and steals anything she can from her kids. She's been on SSI 20+ yrs. My dad left when I was 6 and is barley involved in my life since. Once my grandma dies, we could end up on the street. Most of my family hates me including my brothers, mom, and grandma. They scream at me and insult me and my brothers want me dead. I'm threatened to be kicked out often. I look for jobs a lot, but can't find one after after I quit my old, terrible one I had. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 18 after I was suicidal. I'm not now, but I'm forced to go to therapy and get shots every month. My family members let people with bedbugs in the house and now they're in my room. My brother hit me with a weapon once and now I have a scar on my head. I've been to a mental hospital 3+ times. I lie on the couch in the living room with no one to talk to except maybe one friend. I've never had a girlfriend or even kissed a girl and I'm in my early 20s. Can anyone give me some advice or even reasons to live?

He makes comments about the house being filthy and smelly (the house is lived in, but not filthy and it does NOT smell.) He gets angry/hurt feelings over everything no matter how small but doesn t care if he says something that hurts you. He has no concept of personal space and takes offense if you don t seem to be receiving it well. He always picks fights when he comes home or on the holidays. He makes messes and doesn t clean anything up... has cheated on my mom with over 10 women. And HAS made comments about how we d be in a financial problem is anything happened to him (talking about if he died in an accident or something, this wasn t actually used as a threat.) It s gotten to the point where we re drained when he comes home because there s always something he s irritated over or upset with. You can t even have a bad day around him. I was half asleep and he kept talking to me so I told him as nicely as possible that I really just didn t want to talk right now, he took offense, told my mom i was being shitty. Advice?

Back in 2013, my 53 yr old dad had a baby with a woman was 27 at the time and had 2 kids already. I only met her once. I know it was messy in the beginning with her ex bf whom she had the 2 kids with, beating my dad up. You know 28 yr old guy vs a 53 yr old who's out of shape, young guy will probably win! She got pregnant after that. They had the baby and broke up afterwards. So my half sister is 36, married with 2 kids and is friends with this Tanya my dads ex on FB. Tanya posted a pic with her kids which includes my 5 yr half sister. My 36 yr old half sister was commenting how she can't believe that Layla is 5 already. Tanya responded with, "Yeah it seems like it was just yesterday, but I'm glad your dad and I had her." Is this odd or no?

Like how is it my fault that he drinks underage ? And that he is a ******* thief that steals our parents money,stuff from the store,and stuff from kids at school? He is just a horrible human being and that has nothing to do with me..

I get my driver license soon and I have been asking my parents for permission to purchase a used car- that I will pay with, with my own hard earned money. I'm a good student and a good kid- I don't ask for much. I don't mean to come of as self-entitles or bratty but it seems as though all my friends have cars. I just don't see their angle...
