Okay, report cards have come out yesterday. I'm 16 and I'm a junior. I feel very stressed about school, with AP's, SAT, sports, and all that. Anyways, my parents, especially my mom, are never satisfied, and this year has been the worst. This is my report card for the semester: AP Art History: 78 AP Biology: 62 (i'm terrible at bio) AP Calculus AB: 74 AP United States History: 70 Honors Economics: 77 Honors English: 75 Spanish 2: 68 My grades are terrible because I have been busy prepping for the SAT and I in basketball AND football. My parents were so mad at me, they told me I am retarded and incompetent. They put me on a wheelchair, make me wear diapers and a pacifier, and yell at me. I feel so terrible right now. My parents are Asian, which means that they punish me for everything, and treat me like a disabled baby. My legs are perfectly fine, and I'm fully potty trained. I'll probably fail my AP exams in May, and I'm going to drop out of bio, which is my weakest subject.

I'm 20 and a grownup man, but I have autism and I have the mental age of a 13 year old and the emotional age of a 2 year old. My parents don't understand anything. No one understands me. I just want to die.

So I asked questions here about me moving back To New York for better job opportunities and to live with my grandma while I'm living here in Florida preparing. So I finally told my mom that I wanna move back to nyc with my grandma and her brother (her mom) and she told me that she's not gonna stop me from doing what I wanna do but then she told me my dad told my mom that he's not okay with me moving back because that means my grandma has to put more work with cooking and cleaning ect and keep in mind this is my moms mom not my dads mom. I'm 21 years old and my brother lives there too and he did the same thing that I'm doing and he has a job over there as well. I feel like with my dad I can't be an adult and make my own decisions and he allows my brother to do whatever he wants but not me. I havnt told my dad yet that I'm moving back. What should I do or say to him?? It's hard to have a serious conversation with him because he's always loud and thinks he's always right. I'm kinda nervous to tell him because he will scream at me and not allow me to do what I want. What should I do?

it's for her own good I order her all around and the kids copy off me and she does not like it. I mock and make fun of her a lot... for her own good to help not being sensitive I also smacked her and the one kid copied off of her because she ate his piece id garlic bread I need them to like me not her

I was working out of town a couple of months ago. The day I came back home, I saw my aunt that night. For many years, she's always treated people very nasty & hateful for no reason. She was drunk, as usual, that night. She started telling me hurtful things, & I finally stood up to her, saying, I never got into an argument with you or disrespected you." Then she tried to throw me out of her house, fight me & call the cops. I told her, "You're drunk." Everyone agrees that I disrespected her.

My mother has always wanted to move to a new place, out of state. When I was little, we moved to a small town. Shortly after, we all saw that we didn't fit in there. My mother always complained that she couldn't move away, and she would say she couldn't because it wouldn't be fair to move the kids away from their home. As children, we would beg her to move us away, because our family never fit in with the locals. As we grew up, we all moved away at some point. She too has moved away from that small town, but still lives in the same state. I even moved out of state for a while, and she complained that she couldn't do the same. Now, some of the kids are even nearing 40 years old. Some of them have even told her that they will also move to be near her, as their jobs let them travel and transfer. At this time, all of the children are within an hour drive. They all have their own things going on, and she doesn't need to support them, financially or otherwise. It seems that she is using her children as an excuse to move on or move forward, but it is not a legitimate reason. We have talked to her about this not really being a problem, but she always gets very emotional about how her children are keeping her from being happy. This has been the case since I was little, about 25-30 years ago. Is there anything that we can do to help her see that this is her choice, and we are not holding her back?

He is eight years old. I explained to him that this was wrong and that the ramifications of the lie are starting to spiral out of control. My ex is calling me names and saying I am unfit parent. What should I do? ** To be clear, nothing happened, my son made up a lie **

I'm 13 and a girl. My brother is 20 but he's autistic and he acts like a 5 year old. He can't speak and he loves screaming, running and laughing for no good reason! Our parents are divorced and we live with our mom. I feel like my mom pays a lot of attention to my brother, but he doesn't care about me. Yesterday I was very sick and I told my mom about this and she said:"Alright honey. Help me take James (my brother) to the bathroom and wash him, after you feel better.".She didn't even ask me why I was sick!!!

She scares me in general. She argued with my dad a lot when I was younger (this is a major contributor to why I became depressed in fourth grade). My mom with also say things about my dad and my family that made me feel uncomfortable around that time (and she still will occasionally). She seems to have stopped arguing with him, but there are still passive-aggressive comments I hear between them. My dad has referenced some of these before, which worries me even more as I thought he agreed to not talk about their arguments anymore. She used to act very weirdly around me, almost like I scared her. Sometimes she still does odd things. I don't know if it is mental health related or not. She will talk to me, but I have this nagging feeling that one day things will explode between us. I don't know if she would hurt me then, or if she would freak out about it (she might even hurt herself). I accidentally read a note she wrote on her phone about how my dad hated her and was jealous because she had a strong spiritual connection to God. Is this fear reasonable? She has shown no signs of physical violence towards me, just some slight verbal abuse towards me in the past. I know I can't trust her with my feelings. She will yell at me. I am 16 and have nowhere else to go, so I can't get away. Sometimes she bothers me so much that I do cry or am on the verge of tears. These are not petty disputes about cleaning my room or doing the dishes as most teens have with their parents. Note: This has started when I was nine and in third grade. So it has been about 6-7 years that I have dealt with it. It was not until 2018 that this got really bad.

I work in an office of 26 people. I am the only woman in the office. The guys I work with are all great guys. I really enjoy being with them and I think they like to be with me. They had a "take your daughter to work day" and I brought my 15 year old daughter. She liked the day in the office with me but what she liked most was talking to my co workers about sports. She is a big sports fan and so are most of them. What was surprising to me is they liked talking to her about sports. There must be some bond between sports fans. Some of the guys had extra tickets to sporting events and they invited us to go with them. These were tickets we could not afford as the were in the expensive boxes at the arena. We all had a great time and my daughter just loved talking to these guys about sports. After we got home from one of these games, my daughter asked me why I hadn't asked some of these guys for a date. She said they were great looking guys. I told her it is usually the guys that ask the girls for a date. She said girls waiting for a guy to ask them for a date was SO IN THE PAST. Girls ask guys for a date all the time now. Anyone know if that is true?

So, there are these two kids in my class. The brother tends to be really annoying, can be kind but tends to choose to be a brat. The sister is sweet, but doesn't speak much for some reason. How to encourage her to speak more? I think she is afraid everyone he will dislike her like they don't like her brother. But, she doesn't understand she is soo different than her brother.

I have lots of relatives, including aunts, uncles, and cousins. They are all great people, but when my family visits them on Christmas or during another time of the year I get a little bored. I don't have much to talk about with them. It's just, "Hi how are you? What have you been up to?" Then the conversation is over. When I was a kid I always loved seeing relatives, but now I don't find it very exciting. Is that wrong?

My mother is an undiagnosed narcissist with an extreme victim mentality (world is out to get her. If something is lost, someone obviously stole it, etc). My brother hit a rough spot a few years back and was forced to move in with her. Instead of paying rent, he took over utilities and he drives her wherever she needs to go. Sweet deal, except my mother listens to him and his wife at the bedroom door (mainly their conversations but I fear more. . . ) And uses what she hears to cause problems between my brother and his wife Long story short, my brother is miserable and is planning to leave. When he does, my mother is going to look to me to take over paying her utilities and driving her around despite the fact I live an hour away. She can work but she chooses not to. When my brother does leave, should I go radio silent and ignore my mother when she calls or just tell her no?

I am talking about certain ones who acts protective but really they try to be controlling when she gets a boyfriend he gets mad like grow up.

I went to my cousin for help regarding a problem. He used to always be there to listen and help out. At some point money was required(not a lot). But I would manage to find what I can to give him in order to help out. it started becoming frequent. At first I did not doubt, but one day my mother randomly talked about the guy he was working for and said that he made him require people to give money. It clicked to me because sometimes money would be required and I tought it was getting too far. But I never thought too much of it because he was a huge help. And it wasn't a lot of money. But My mother is known for trying to mess up relationships with whoever comes too close to me. What I did is that whenever money was required I would say I didn't have it. I don't know if it was before I stopped giving the money or after but whenever I needed his help he wouldn't be as available as he used to. And every time it would be the same scenario. sometimes he would say the next day and then not call and then the day after he would call. It's like he was making it so I would require his help, but he wouldn't help as much. for example I asked for his help last week. Everyday he told me he got busy, then he told me his wife was taken to the hospital, then he said she got better, then he told me day later he got sick. I said ok take care. so now I'm wondering should I stop asking for his help and just be cordial with him?Maybe I'm just being impatient, and was influenced by my mother's words

Every year my parents and siblings buy our married brothers and their children gifts (pretty good gifts and we love seeing the kids open them because they genuinely get happy, but the problem is that my brothers never buy us anything not even our younger siblings which are 18 and 15 years old. One of my brothers always is crying about not having money ,but then they post images on Facebook of their parties and the presents they bought for their kids and for the family of his wife, but he doesn't buy us anything ever. He litter oh forgot my moms birthday. It drive me crazy and i don't know what i should do since I'm 18 years old. What should I do to fix this yearly struggle?

Stop hating her for this?

I probably won't see her for a while but other then being her usual bossy self she was good. She is 24 and a narcissist.

So my uncle and his wife had a marital separation. No idea the circumstances but they have done this before. They are back together now. Their kids, now teens and young adults, are closer to the mother then the father but the father is the blood relative of mine as he is my Mom's brother. So during the separation my mother naturally sided with her own brother. They went to the beach and my Mom had a friend there. Apparently the uncle's wife read this the wrong way and thought my Mom was somehow trying to hook her brother up with this friend of hers (trust me she would not do that and this friend would DEFINITELY not be my uncle's type). However, uncle's wife is now being cold as ice to my mother. So to conclude this happened once before over something else and the uncle's wife didn't talk to my mother for 4 years. The kids were cold as ice to me for 4 years. It hurt since I am an only child. That ended 6 years ago. How do I make sure the cousins don't hate me if their mother plays the "not talking to you" 2nd grade game yet again? Uncle's wife plays that game a lot even in her own family even though she is otherwise very nice and I've always liked her.

My Dad even wants me to take my Mom and her allies side against this aunt. It is all people were talking about at Christmas cause we had to see the aunt for Christmas. Everyone was terrified and one uncle would not come and my sister and her husband and kids avoided coming to town and came for Thanksgiving instead. Everyone wants me to stay out and then expects me to take their side by giving this aunt the silent treatment. What do I do if I want to stay out of it and be nice to all sides? Everyone is using me for their advantage and does not realize it (this aunt included).

He wants to move in with his friend and make music with him, and keeps trying to take his six guitars with him. I keep on telling him that he can only take one, the rest stay here because I paid for them, but he as none of it.

What the heck do I do here? My MIL keeps insisting I take her old tacky things that she no longer needs or wants and when I tell her no she doesnt listen and shoves them at me or brings it to my house anyway. She got a new angel for her tree this year so now she insists I take her old one which is about 35 years old, nasty yellow and gold color and doesnt match my style of decorating at all. She keeps saying it s a family heirloom (even though it s only ever been hers) and I NEED to use it. She also overheard me mention curtains so she ran over and tried to put up these ugly old lady style baby pink flowered curtains. I put my foot down on that one and said no. But like.. shes done this for years now with tons of random things and she has even done things to my yard without permission. She put up this tall wooden post (that she painted very sloppily) and CEMENTED it into my garden without asking. The post is directly in front of my kitchen window and now I cannot open it. Like wtf??? I would never dream of taking over someone elses house and making them do things my way in THEIR home. And one time I caught her trying to nail things into my porch. I flipped out and luckily caught her in time. My point here is that I do tell her no and to please stop but she wont. What do I do.

I'm both a UK and US citizen. I was originally from England but moved to America I was 6. I'm now 24 years old. My Mom misses England and wants to go back. I think that will really make her happy. We often tell her, "One day we will go back." But I just realized that she's turn 60 next year. And if we keep delaying it will never be reality. I was just wondering how hard is it to plan this? Say I have 10 years to plan for this.

I'm sixteen and I was adopted out of El Savador when I was two years old. Idk anything about my biological family except my biological mother's name..Anyway, My adoptive brother hates me for no reason. He always reminds me I'm not his real sister. He even told me to go back to where I came from before.. My grandparents treat him better, they don't really pay that much attention to me. My aunts make jokes about me being adopted and sometimes racist jokes about me. Also my adopted family is white. I know that I'm different from them, I've always felt that in my heart and knew it since I was little. It makes me feel so belittled when they say stuff like this to me. I've been learning my language and culture the past three years. I've been saying little phrases in Spanish around the house, and my 'mom' kinda doesn't like it. She prefers I speak English. It hurts that she doesn't really support me learning about my culture and language. We've been getting into fights alot the past few months, physical and verbal. We can barley be in the same room together. Ifeel like an outsider, like Im living with strangers. It's breaking my heart everyday and Idk what to do anymore. I just want to get away from these people. Is there anything I can do in this situation? I feel weird turning to yahoo answers for something so personal but I just want to know what I could do? Any advice or something? Resources?

This cousin is a girl but when I was taking a quick nap tryna avoid everyone I fell asleep on my moms bed and I woke up with my cousin watching me sleep. Anyone else think this is weird asf?

My parents say he is better but I have no idea if that is true. He was a scum as a teen but seems to have softened. How do I know if he really has redeemed or if we just think that cause he is family though very distant?

Some let his drinking and drunkenness ruin Christmas. I did not and still enjoyed my Christmas even though he was drunk around me. Why am I able to do this when others are not? Four of the 19 people at Christmas yesterday let my Dad's drinking ruin their holiday.

He's my ex i broke up with him a few months back because we got into an argument and he was acting passive aggressive. Because there were guys at the gym that liked me he suspected i'm going there to talk to them when one morning I decided to go to the gym to workout. He got suspicious saying you didn't ask me to come so another time i asked but he was working and I brought up the last argument saying exactly so why'd you get upset when I didn't ask last time when you were working. He also is suspicious because one time at the library i met a guy studying medicine like me and we went to grab food because we were hungry and i didn't tell him because i thought he'd get jealous for no reason but when he asked i told him finally and get upset which is why the suspicions from the gym I said i was done with his attitude he said theres no attitude if you're done okay i wish you the best. Anyway fast forward 4 months He always comes to the gym at same time I am and he always comes to yoga when he stopped coming when we were dating and he'd workout instead while i did yoga. Now he always comes to yoga and he'll text me here an there. The other day after yoga he texted me saying "why'd you look so mad today, I was going to say hi but you didn't look very welcoming" and stuff like this, and yesterday we were at the gym and they don't give out free towel but selling them instead. He said he was going to buy a towel and if I wanted one i said no but he came back with 2 and gave me one too And he'd say things like you'll see what God has blessed me with just like He has blessed you. I said what he said i can't tell you that now. I said you can never tell me anything. He said i tell you everything but somethings you need patience to see. Anyway he didn't wish me merry xmas This means that he's no longer interested?

My mom's boyfriend is trying to make my mom have nothing to do with me, and my dad's girlfriend is trying to make my dad having nothing to do with me. I visited my aunt today and cried telling her what's been happening.. I mean I know I'm an adult but I still want to know I'm loved and have some kind of emotional support..

Just curious my girlfriend is 47 years old and I m 33 we bpth have children from our previous relationships/marriages and we have been together for over 10 years my stepdaughter is 24 and offered to donor eggs so her mum can have a baby so her mum can be happy but I m concerned because They re close related and if it s a success I kinda feel it s strange to know the baby would be my DNA and my stepdaughters DNA. I m not against this but a part of me feel this way and when the baby gets older and may find out that his/her big sister is it s biological mum and don t know how to deal with it if it happens, because I really love my woman and her children as she adores mine we re a happy family, I m just anxious about this but I really want it to make my woman happy.

I am 13 and my mom keeps making me play with my super bratty and annoying 6 year old sister. I have a PlayStation 3 and I got Minecraft fory birthday. Anytime I try to play, my mom FORCES me to let my sister play. And my sister, in the game, breaks everything and messes it all up! I will spend hours building something and she will come along and break it! I try to explain this to my mom, but she says it's not fair that I get to play and my sister doesn't and she says that either I have to let my sister play, or I can't play. It's not fair because it's MY game and my sister has ADHD and she ruins everything. I miss so badly being an only child and being able to play things by myself and not have a stupid child yelling at me. I hate playing with her and it makes me so mad that my mom can just force me to let her play! I need help.

On Christmas, I arrive at my mom and dad house with my boyfriend and two sons. Number 1: everyone is wearing red tshirts and green pajama pants, we were never told about it. Number 2: my boyfriend got no gifts at all except a perfume from my parents, while my sister's boyfriend got about 6 gifts from my family. Number 3: everyone in the family, including a couple cousins, got expensive jackets, namebrand boots, technology, jewelry...what do I get? A bunch of regular sheet sets and an oversized shirt. Number 4: most of my gifts says from the whole family instead of coming from specific brothers n sisters names. My bf and I spent an entire day in the mall with two crying babies getting 11 people gifts...and spent $600 total on everyone. My bf was so embarrassed and ended up just watching everyone open gifts. I felt embarassed myself. Also at the kind of gifts I got compared to everyone else. I want to teach them a lesson without being mean. What to do?

I have no idea why but when I am trying to peacefully reason with my mom she almost never fails to get extremely mad over something that just needs a simple talk, and while she is yelling at the top her lungs i try and calm her down or ask her why she is so angry over something so small I usually talk in a calm tone so i don't anger her even more but she just steamrolls over me and continues yelling and flipping chairs, or breaking stuff and then says that i make her do these things it gets me really upset and sometimes very angry but i cant do anything about it. Is this my fault? if so what can I do to fix it?

Every other year we visit my teenage grandkids and my son and his wife 2000 miles away. It is a nightmare. All they do is fight each other and us the whole time and they are very mean to my gf and I.They hate my gf for many reasons. She is a indian lady from england of a certain age.She don't take no bull from anyone and she gives me confidence to be a better person.She has me dressing better too. I feel alive again.They think I should have stayed alone after my wife died.It makes us upset and not feel well being treated so poor.Then they have the gall to ask for money and expensive gifts. My gf and I had a heated discussion about it. She thinks we shouldn't go where we aren't wanted.She is afraid I will have another heart attack or she will have a stroke or worse, she will get really steamed tell them all off. I have told them I am embarrassed they treat her so bad.I feel like a failure as a parent/grandparent.Her family is so nice to all of us. they want us to join them for new years.I think not.

I'm sick of being attacked on the way I look by my own family, being called pig every time I get food, told I have a big belly and big head, being told they don't think I'm a healthy weight, slagging me off telling other family members I eat a lot when I clearly don't and just proves they have said disgusting things behind my back about my looks, I don't even think I'm that big or I'm bigger than I think I am and haven't realised, in the mirror I check and I'm not even huge and I'm 5ft and fit into size 10 jeans, that's not even bad. Why are people nasty? It just makes me realise I'm probably fat and ugly, I mean it's not like people compliment me and say I'm pretty or anything like that, my own family never say nice things, does this mean I'm ugly?
