My half brother from another mom almost shot me when he was drunk while showing me an illegal gun recently, he did nothing. He stole my dog and killed it, my dad did NOTHING again, He stole my gun that's when he gave ME permission to kick him out keep in mind my dad is 50 my half brother is a 31 year old alcoholic prick and I'm 21 and I had to kick him out. Now he's talkinh online with his twitter fingers and my dad defends him telling me I can't take him and he's his JR and he will kick my *** trying to instigate me to beat the living crap out of this guy what should I do from a adult situational standpoint, he's also on probation no license but his stuff is still in my house and my dad won't let me move it to the garage like he wants something to happen? (I'm only living with my parents until I save enough to leave.)

We were fighting over opening a window just like everything he yells me at for is ridiculous. I came home for he holidays from college so he's been attacking me like the good old days. He acts like nothing happened after. Is this normal or right? How he's always treated me his whole life. I feel like he could kill someone when he is angry and it scares me. I just can'f Forgive him anymore when he does this over and over to me.

After my father died, I was surprised, but not mournful. Then when my mother died, I thought that I should feel something. Not a tear. When my brother died & I was shocked & cried a bit. Then my sister died, & I didn't care. She was about 10 years older & I don't remember much about her. After becoming an \adult, I didn't see much of my family. Does anyone else feel that way? Is it normal? Am I depressed?

She always yells at me for not doing chores around the house. She got mad at me for not walking my dogs by myself even though my dogs are too big and strong for me to handle and I get anxiety attacks from it because I have social anxiety and many people try to start conversations. She also got mad at me for npt cooking and said it was my fault for not knowing how to cook. I have asked her multiple times in the past for her recipes and for her to teach me how to cook them, but everytime I ask, she tells me I don't need them. Also, I can't cook things if we don't have enough food to cook, and I'm not old enough to drive to the grocery store or have a paying job. I understand that she wants me to cook, but I don't know how she expects me to cook her recipes if she refuses to guve me her recipes, unless she wants grilled cheese and boxed macaroni and cheese for the rest of her life. What do I say to her? They're not my dogs. Also, she expects me to make HER recipes.

So we've been having tension because he didn't allow me to go to the gym, for whatever reason he thinks I just want to go because I'm vain and full of myself. Last night he came into my room pulled up pictures from my Instagram (mind you this man stalks every comment and every detail on my social media accounts), says the pictures I took at a holiday party were sexualizing, for your information I was wearing a plaid skirt and a shirt and a cardigan, I wasn't exposing any intimate parts but since my dad is very religious this is wrong to him. He got to the point where he said that the comments people made, not myself were disrespectful. Which makes no sense because it was just emojis and phrases my girl friends use when we boost ourselves up on Instagram, mind you we're a bunch of teens. Then he takes my phone and goes through it, looks through private conversations me and my friends have had, yes I do have a vulgar vocab when talking to my friends and to my dad its like the worst thing on earth because a "good christian" doesn't speak like that. He found that I got a pregnancy test for my friend, because I was worried that she might've been pregnant and, I told my stepmother and mother about it but I didn't tell my dad because I dont trust him. He accused me of having sex, when I'm not, accused me of dating a 19 y/o man who is my step cousin who he hates, who in reality is like a brother to me. So am I the bad 16 y/o child like he says? he started talking about how this is wrong in the eyes of the Lord. I dont consider myself a bad kid, just an average teen, I take all honors classes, my grades aren't bad, I don't go out and party or stay out because I can't, yes I have crushes, yes I do talk about sex with my friends but they're my friends, I'm not acting on it. I understand that my vocabulary is very vulgar but its only when I'm with my peers. My father says I stress him out too much 24/7 when I literally don't do anything

my mom married a psycho and dealt with his **** for years(physical abuse, emotional, etc.) she left him a long time ago but came back for financial reasons. we're trying to leave him again but since he lost his job and his car crashed he has severe mental problems (he already did but now its worse) and threatning me and my mom. today we got in a huge fight (he was trying to take the car when my mom needed it to go to work) so to help my mom out, i pushed him back and he started yelling at me and guilt tripping me for pushing him. then he threatned to kill me. i dont know what to do. i just hate my life i feel like calling the police on him but i dont know.

I'm not sure what to do he is very aggressive , refuse to do chores , disrespectful threatens to kill his younger brother . I am his mother he calls me names , punches doors in my house and keeps telling me I'm the worse parent. He wants to fight my husband when my husband doesn't agree with him . We are not bad parents we don't abuse him we don't force him to do anything but we don't give him money or buy latest technology, he hates us he blames us. He refuse to get help for his aggression . In school he has problems to he often late to school , he doesn't pay attention on class and wont do his homework or revise for his exams he also missed a lot of days in school . I'm don't know what I can do he even doesn't tell me where he goes and what time he will be back he often with his friends and keeps saying how his friends have better life and that we are worst. If I say something he often tells me that he is adult not a kid anymore he can do whatever he wants, he even started to smoke . If I tell him to stop smoking he gets aggressive and threatens . He refuse to get counselling, he is behaving similar like my adult 24 year old son ( he has conduct disorder but now lives away from home was kick out due to severe aggression and he tried to stab me and punch me in the stomach) I have 3 sons all of them are usually aggressive, refuse to take any responsibility and behaves same way 13yr old , 16 and 24. My youngest son even shouts on animals and threatens them too but he goes to counselling

Ok so people might think that I'm overreacting and that's fine. So I feel like that she loves her own kids more but likes and rather be around her niece and nephew AKA my cousins more than her kids. Yes I know there still really little but she gives her nephew more compliments than she gives my brother she also constantly buys them things and she spent $40 to get them both a raptors t-shirt but if we were going shopping at like Dollarama and I see something I really want she will just tell me no and the prices there go up to $4 and when her own kids are sick she begs us to try and go to school and just acts like it's a normal day most of the time but not to long ago my cousins were sick and my aunt which is they're mom posted about it and she replied "Oh no my poor babies 😭💔" but if her own kids were as sick as them she wouldn't say anything about 2 years ago my brother was really sick and throwing up and he had to go to the hospital guess what was on Facebook NOTHING and also my mom never started posting on Facebook until my cousin was born there's about 2 videos on me on there and she's had that account for 11 years while there's like 4 videos of he nephew and he was born in 2018 and there's not much 2018 pictures of her own kids now most of her 2018 photos are pictures of my cousins so I don't know what to do because every time I try and talk to her about this she gets allll offended

So... I am waiting for marriage. It s just how I was raised. And I feel embarrassed of my strict beliefs. I heard guys won t push sex if you have a medical issue like let s say the girls heart is too weak. Would it be messed up if I lied? I ve talked to a few guys, revealing that I m waiting and it s always this huge deal breaker. Most times guys complain and insult me or try to force me. I really hate it, it makes me not want to try dating (I am 24 btw) I heard its a different story if you are sick.. would it be messed up if I lied?

My cousin (my aunts son), decided to bring watermelon out to give me some and my aunt replied "she doesn't eat anything, don't you know" after I said no thank you...what does that mean? Kinda hurt. I haven't seen my aunt in a year. Why would she say that? It's possible my grandmother talks about me..just wondering if I should stay away from my aunt. She always comments about my weight..

I just washed them today, so she'll get mad and demand to know why, she'll say it's "OCD" or "absolutely wasting water" (but our washer is extremely HE and senses the water level automatically). I just washed them today and I already c*mmed on them (on accident). No matter which way I turn my sheets it touches my body, and it smells disgusting like stale bleach. This is why we were meant to have SEX, not masturbate, it's supposed to go inside of a female partner, not get all over your shirt, boxers, bedsheets, or c*mmy on your tummy. Me financially contributing does NOT stop my mom from being ultra conservative with utilities. I wouldn't tell my mom that I c*mmed on my sheets, that'd be more embarrassing than peeing the bed as a 23 year old. Sex or anything of a sexual nature is extremely taboo, it's not family discussion. My moms work schedule is similar to mine, or my sister will pop in and blab her mouth and then go get the grandparents (they live next door) and they'll lecture me about being wasteful or tell me it's "my OCD" and I sure as hell don't want fo tell them that I ejaculated on my bed sheets, that's very disgusting and shameful for family discussion, it also brings great shame on me for still being a virgin (involuntary virgin). You know what? I guess I'm just sleeping with the sperm......

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 Update: But he didn't wish me merry xmas so this has me confused.

I have a great relationship with my siblings and parents and we all live close by. My husband is from Mexico and most of his family is there. His family is not as close as we are (currently he doesn't speak to most of his siblings or parents) he is hurt and holds grudges. When my family gets together he starts nitpicking issues about my siblings and their spouses to me after the gatherings. It really bothers me because we are not like that. If we get mad at each other or have an issue we clear it up and get over it. He has a hard time doing so. I wish he could see things from my perspective but it's so hard.

I am 18 and my dad is 52. We live in Sydney's northern beaches and very often go to the beach. I think that he shouldn't wear speedos because a) they're very revealing and b) he's old. I have asked him several times whether he could please start to wear shorts like me but he just flatly refuses and won't have a bar of it. He says that he has worn speedos since he was young and never once wore anything else. He owns four pairs of swimwear and they're all speedos. How do I get him to stop? Also I should add - he isn't out of shape, he is very much in shape, but I think that he is too old. I have already told him that I don't like it but he refuses to wear boardies.

I know this comes off as presumptuous and selfish. But my mother has made baby quilts for all her grandchildren except my 6 month old daughter. She's a prolific quilter and it would take her less than a week working here and there in her spare time to make one. I was assuming she was just busy or not well but I found out she made a quilt for my sister's 3 month old baby. I know my daughter isn't owed one and I'm thinking of making her one. But I'm bothered that she is the only one who doesn't have a special quilt from her grandmother. I don't even know if I want to ask her for a quilt. Should I even bring up the subject with my mother?

I am planning on going to a Travis Scott concert in February of next year, but my parents still said no. They are concerned about the safety in the area. (I am going in the north part of Tulsa in Oklahoma at the BOK Center). They said that regardless of the rules, people still smoke drugs inside during concerts. I was planning to even go with a chaperone and they declined me, but are letting my older cousin (by 2 years) go with supervision. To be clear, we are paying for all the tickets ourselves!

I am 23 and about to graduate college next semester. I transferred colleges my 2nd year, so that is why I am graduating late (in 5 years as opposed to 4 years). Some of my credits didn't transfer, so that is why I couldn't graduate in 4 years. My parents are not American and they are immigrants from another country. My parents are so mad that I am graduating in 5 years and they complain all the time about how it is not good that I am graduating late. They say graduating late will affect me somehow. My mother is always mad, up till today, about how I transferred colleges and how I should have stayed at my original college and that I wouldn't have this problem. I transferred colleges because I wasn't happy at the first college I attended but now I am content with the new college I transferred to. Then, my parents always complain about how I am not studying for the MCAT, but what I want to do is to start studying seriously for the MCAT after I graduate college so I can devote all my attention to the MCAT. My parents keep complaining that I should have already taken the MCAT and that I am going to be late in entering medical school. They keep complaining about me and the MCAT. My parents are not understanding, if I try to tell them these things, they always think they are right and i am wrong. I don't know what to do with my parents when we don't see eye to eye about a lot of things.

My parents don't get along with each other,my father treats my mother like ****,he doesn't give a damn about her.But,he cares for us the children.He expects us to like him but I would never like a father who treats my mum like trash

Idk what got into me. I just felt like she doesnt think im worth buying this gift i asked for. She said she cant give everything i ask so i can learn a lesson and grow up more. I dont know why i complained after getting gifts...i feel like a bad person now. What can i do to stop my entitled attitude? Thank you guys!!

When I was 22-23 I travelled to Europe, I went to Ukraine, Russia, France, England and Ireland. I speak Russian fluently, and Ukrainian well as well as French fairly well so I would flirt with the local babes. Me and this one girl lets call her Dasha, dated while doing the study abroad and I got a Facebook message from her. She's living in Brighton Beach NY, and she has a son and she knows that Im the father. She sent me a picture and the kid at three looks just like me minus my eye color, he has his mother's green eyes. She said that she thought I should now about my son, she is a single mother who works as a waitress. She told me that she would've told me sooner but she couldn't find a way to contact me. Heres the catch, she said that the her son has amblyopia and needs surgery on the eyes and that she needs my help for paying for it. Im 25 she's 21. What do I do? Im so overwhelmed.

My cousin has not been nice to me ever since we were little kids. She was always the oldest and therefore the "boss". I was always afraid of her as a kid and she'd constantly make me cry. she was always good at sports and dance, and very outgoing so she had lots of friends who were "cool" like her. I wasn't good at sports and kept more to myself. We went to the same middle and high school and her friends were the type of people that would make fun of kids like me. I felt nervous going up to her when she was w her friends because of what they'd say later on. And she would let her friends gossip about me, she didn't even stand up for me and say "that's my cousin, she's a normal nice girl just a little shy". She would instead complain to my aunt that I "embarrass her" by not acknowledging her, then my aunt would tell my mom and my mom would scream at me. On top of it, I was going thru a really hard time with my parents' divorce/my father losing his job. There was constant screaming in my house and I would cry every night. We're 20 years old now and I still find her very judgmental & it is hard for me to talk to her. My mom says that I'm an embarrassment to the family bc I get very anxious at family events. and just end up not talking. I don't know what to do about this because this is really the only family I have. My dad ended up completely leaving and he doesn't really have family either anyways. Is my mom right that I'm a bi*** to my cousin?

I'm starting to wonder because a community poll about height asked "Perfect height for a man?" And the lowest option was 5'8" while the highest option was 6'3". So, in general society, are there A LOT more men that are 5ft 8 or less compared to 6ft 3 or taller? a) yes b) no When you answer, can you give me an explanation?

Person A is male. Earns a Bachelor's Degree, didn't feel quite ready to get a full time job. Enrolled at a University for a Master's degree in sports administration, ran Division 1 track and field. Won some nice NCAA trophies. Gets endorsement deal from small show company, becomes a professional runner. Eke out a living working at sneaker store and as assistant track coach to chase the Olympic Dream. Fails to qualify for Olympics. Quits as a professional runner in early 30s. Person B is female. Ran cross country for a D1 University. Studied an "easy" major in order to keep up with training as a D1 athlete. Wins a nice NCAA trophy. Graduates, no endorsement, stops running. Works a few admin assistant jobs. Person A marries Person B. Person A gets a job as a Retail Marketing Coordinator making annual salary 40-50k for shoe running company. Live in a semi rural area, cost of living is moderate. Few months at first real job, becomes a father. Person B no longer works, is now a full time mom. Given the fact that Person A spent his entire 20s chasing the Olympic dream as a professional runner instead of getting a "real" job and building wealth..... Would it be safe to assume this young family most likely will go through some financial or marital struggles?

I found messages between my dad and other men in my area that show that he is meeting up for sex. I found this out a few weeks ago and wanted to wait to tell my mom until after the holidays. I plan on telling her probably the weekend after New Years. The night I found out, I went over and talked to my aunt about it. She was very supportive and agreed that waiting is the best idea. My brother, who was there when I saw the messages, also agrees. My brother and I had suspected this before and a few months ago, told my mom what we think and she told my dad. He assured us that he had never been unfaithful and left it at that. Now that we have actual proof, we feel confident that our mom will believe us this time instead of denying it. But her unwillingness to believe our claims concerns me. I don't think she is aware of his cheating but even she is, I don't see how she could let this continue. I'm not saying I don't love my dad, but he has caused a lot of stress in our house. There have been times where he just picks a fight and pisses everyone off. His mood swings are insane at times. My mom deserves better than him and if he really is gay (or bi), then he deserves the chance to be honest about his sexuality. I love my dad and want him to be honest. My brother and I deserve to have a role model to look up to and right now, he isn't one. I feel that if he were to come out, then maybe he would be happy. For future responses, please note that this is a serious issue that I'm dealing with and I wouldn't post this question if I was looking for rude answers. So please be polite. This is a hard time for me and I don't appreciate being talked down to like a child.
