I am a freshman and therefore can't drive myself. The school bus doesn't go to my house because i live far away. I have no family who lives nearby to take me home and my parents work until 4 but i get out at 2:30. My friends live too far away. There is a child rideshare app that could work but it is too expensive to use everyday. What should I do?

I'm 21 he's 22 me and his mom doesn't get along. She just hate her son with me for some reason she wants his attention like they're dating or something. We have a 1yr old and 1 month old son. When my first son was born she said my son wasn't his and doesn't look like him. Then she said in the middle of an argument when i was pregnant with my 2nd child she said she hope the next baby is his. So i said i never want my children around her. When i had my son last month i was rolled into recovery. Didn't get to hold him yet so my boyfriend had him i get to my room his mom holding my baby before me. He know all the messed up things she said. I don't even know why she was at the hospital anyways. But Everytime he does something for me she gets jealous. So i just had our 2nd child last month i been in mommy mode with 2 kids i have a scarf on my head so i wanted to feel good about myself and do something to my hair i asked my boyfriend if he could get it done he never did. He lie like he is but don't. It's been a month and i still have a scarf on my head. It's like he don't want to do anything for me to make his mom happy. She do drugs and full of drama him and her get into it all the time and i never tell him to turn against his mom. Now me and him into it because i don't want my children around her and he ganging up on me and calling me names saying we need to separate because those are his kids too and his family can be around them. I just don't want her around my kids.

I saw my cousin since she wanted to know how things are going since my mom passed away. Each time I see her she acts like she never hears from my brother that lives 5 hours away. I think she does talk with him though. I seem to feel they have something to hide about how my mom's estate will pan out. Should there be any advantage for my cousin to hope my brother gets more from the estate over me?

My mom fairly drinks a lot and everytime she's a little "tipsy" she slurs her words and she becomes a different person. Sometimes when she drinks we will get into really bad arguments and it's driving the rest of the family away from here. Everytime I see her pour herself a glass of wine I just get so irritated and sad. Most of the time she finishes a whole bottle. My parents really don't get along and when she drinks it just makes everything so much worse. My parents even made an attempt to go to counseling so they won't get a divorce but I just feel nothing will work. When she's drunk she curses a lot and she forgets things that I will tell her which is so irritating. I noticed she started drinking a lot about a year or two ago and I believe it's because she has lost her two sisters and her parents. I know she is grieving still but the alcohol is just not a way to go. I feel like if it goes on any longer our family will be split apart. I just hate seeing the bottles stack up and I'm getting more and more angry. I don't know what to do...

Me and my wife are wanting to have another baby our daughter is a week old but we really want one. Should we have another one ?

My sister said her foot feels kind of cold but she's got socks on. She's been out in the snow but that was a few hours ago. She said her other leg feels warm and fine. It's not swollen or nothing she's not pregnant or on her period. She's not getting married she's too young. She's only 12 almost 13 this has never happened to her before. What could be wrong with her ?

I'm 17 and due next month I am on probation until March which is 2 months away.. I have been running away since age 13 I am regretful because my dad died while I ran away last time but my mom is very emotionally abusive and says alot of mean and hurtful things but won't let me move out because she likes to make my life difficult. I'm planning on getting off probation and living at my boyfriend's house we've been together for a year and I turn 18 in October I live in ohio? What could the law or my mom do if they can't find me or whatever?

Me: who are they Dad: I think they are all just renting rooms. I think all of them have mental issues. .. some of your friends *laugh* I asked him and he said no, but it's hard to tell when he's lying. Why does everyone like to make fun of me about different things?

So, short version: I was emotionally and psychologically abused by my older brother growing up. However, I find it somewhat comforting and healing when I hear stories of older brothers being supportive, caring, and loving towards their younger brothers. Any guys out there willing to share good stories where your older brother supported you or (if you are the older brother) you supported your younger brother?

My mother has chronic illnesses and is disabled. She has done so much for me and I want to say thanks by getting her something. She is quite lonely and spends a lot of time on her phone. Any ideas on what to get her? She is only 38 and I'm 16, animals are not an option because of my low income.

My father got himself into a huge mess of an accident, unfortunately that couldve beeen avoided if he didn't drink so often. He now is struggling with getting better. He's never made a true effort to be in my life, however I have forgiven him for not being the best father. He lost his vehicle because he can't work right now, my boyfriend and I have been building a life we are working very hard at and we are in different states than him. He has basically guilted me into allowing him to borrow our extra car (which is a classic antique car). The vehicle isn't mine, it's my boyfriends but I can tell he cherishes the car very much. I don't trust my father enough to make sure nothing happens let alone afford to fix the car if anything happens. It's registered in my state under our names. If my father takes it back to the state he lives in, and something does happen; insurance would be a HUGE issue. I just don't feel comfortable with him borrowing the vehicle because I can not be sure nothing will happen. He has purchased a ticket to fly up and get the vehicle (I can pay him back for the ticket if need be).. how do I tell him I don't want to actually do this? He lives near a bus route and his girlfriend has a car. I just have such sympathy in his situation and that's why we've said yes to begin with.

Yesterday my mom got super mad at me because she was talking about my weight... she always does. I finally told her that it hurt me a lot. She always telling me I'm huge and I'm really not that big but since shes done it for so long it's really impacted me mentally. In my mind I'm like a elephant but in reality I'm really just out of shape. Now since I spoke up about it she is being really mean to me. Ignoring me and when she does speak she says things like can you get out of here we want quiet time. or can you tell me when you're not using the TV so I can turn the wifi off, last night I went to make a sandwich she got really mad at me saying I need to quit making so much noise. Shes nitpicking me about anything and everything. I'm scared to leave my room. She says dont lock the door I'll lock it when I'm ready. I hate being here

My dad is bald but if this is the case, then it likely my dad got bald due to stress, or something?

Okay so, the night was already starting off bad. His Girlfriend and I didn't really get along and she was making slick comments about my mom so I know I shouldn't have went to their house. So we get there he starts drinking & cook himself some food and left me some out to cook. Keep in mind I haven't been here in like a couple of months and he just came and got me to spend a night and bond basically. We get there and he already is trying to use me (Go Get this , Go Get That , Do this , Do That) so then he told me to wash him and his girlfriends dishes wich had been in the sink for some time. I had told him earlier I wasn't cooking anything to eat because I didn't want to wash dishes. I'm 19 so I told him no, so he called me a "*****"(yeah his own ONLY son) so I got mad of course and I admit I made a few slick comments like (I'm grown too ,etc) then he pushes his girlfriend out the way and got in my face and tried to choke me. So I basically scooped him and got him on the ground to get him off me when I tried to get up he pulled my hair ( I have dreads & he pulled some out of my head ) so out of instincts I punched him I didn't mean to so From then on I just kinda scooped him Everytime he ran up. His girlfriend managed to get ahold of him while I ran to the neighbors to call my girlfriend. Was I wrong in this situation I need answers cause I kinda feel like I was wrong but then again it could have been him because he drinks a lot and gets abusive.

Hi, I'm a girl, and I was always just a little cheeky. I did good in school and I'd never harm anyone, just didn't really take anything too seriously. My little bro is the opposite. He has a dark sense of humor and if you anger him you really pay the price. He's not that verbally gifted so he fights back with his body. Often in my younger teens, we'd squabble like normal siblings and I'd eat the last packet of crisps or something like that, and he'd get really mad and start choking me, throwing the remote control etc at me, punching, kicking me. I'd hide in the toilet or he'd get me before I could. My mum would always say it's my fault for provoking him, but I don't think one measly packet of walkers crisps is worth physical pain? She defends him no matter what. Is she right that if you're just a bit naughty you deserve pain? I've always been confused. Thank you.

Should millenials be required by parents to have a budget and stick to it?

I know this is a weird question in nature but i wanted to gain some comfort sharing my tragedy and maybe relieving some pain. 5 days ago, me and my dad (72 y/o) went for my master application interview. He recently had severe flu and had to stay in hospital for a night but was recovering well. He was never a man of his age, super dynamic, healty, young-looking. Anyway, we arrived at the uni and i left him in his car (as he requested) knowing that he would turn AC on (it was very cold) and wait for me to finish my work in comfort. I was out for about one hour. When i came back, his head was down so i though he fell asleep. I tried to wake him but there was no response. I honestly thought he was pranking me. I lifted his head and saw his lips were purplish. I was scared to death and called emergency hotline. They came really fast but there was nothing to do. I waited for like an hour and half for good news but he was long gone. The relationship between me and my father was much more than daughter/father relationship. He was my friend, my mentor, my counselor, my mental twin and much more. I was his only true child and his ONE. I'm 25 now and this feels like too much of a burden to carry. I just wanted to write it down and thanks if you already read it. Rest in Peace Dad <3

My sister is crying over her favorite singer she saw pictures of him with his kids she was not happy. She can't get to sleep she's still upset. She's been crying really hard. I don't get why girls cry over guys especially if they are famous. I can hear her in her room having a fit yelling it's not fair. Even though she's 12 soon to be 13 she acts like a 4 year old. How can I calm her down ?

My parents were happy for me getting a job and I had perfect attendance in my career up until about two months ago. I went on vacation to a new place to visit my fiance, and since then I've been sick. Some days I get so sick I can't go or my work will send me home. My mother thinks I'm making these conditions up to get out of work, but I had a perfect record before my vacation, and I would keep that perfect record if I could. Why does it matter if I miss a day here or there? Shouldn't she care more about my health than my paycheck?

I am thinking of running away. I am 16, turning 17 in a few months. My parent wants me to go live with my other parent, because they can't "deal" with me. I have a job, I want to stay in school, I have a bike and a free bus card. The reason I want to run away is because if I go back to my other parent, I will lose my free scholarship to college. Neither parents are abusive. I am also thinking of asking my parent if it's okay to run away, because they REALLY don't want to deal with me. They say as long as I'm out of the house, and out of their face. And don't just say, "Just don't run away" please. Also, if I do run away, and I want to enroll into school next year, my last year, how could I without my parent and step-parent, if they refuse?

My brother has autism, and my brother gets violent with her. And she yells at him, and the yelling makes me feel so bad. I get yelled at a lot, and if I don't do what she says she calls me an A$$(Hole) Or a pain in her A$$ Sometimes I don't even feel like I have anything to wake up to in the morning. I'm sad almost all the time, and it's made me resent my brother. I can't stand him anymore, he breaks everything he touches, he gets away with everything. And my mom does nothing but yell. Her normal tone has even gotten louder since she's had him, she used to be a lot softer spoken. Her volume was a 10 out of 100. Now it's like 50 out of 100. I'm at my wits end, and I think about how worthless I am everyday

i know 18 is the legal age in the US, but they're not really a man yet. what age do you think is considered a full, grown man?

My cousin openly talks about his sex life in front of his mom and other family members (really vulgar stuff) and I think it's really weird. Am I overreacting ? He's 22. He's been doing this since he was like, 16.

I am 17 years old living with both parents, grandmother and sister in a lightly religious Muslim household. My sister age 20 ran away from home looking to live with a lover none of us knew about at all. We simply know he is much older and not a natural US citizen. She told us trough a final text that she loves him very much and she is safe, but even for the last 24 hours we have been heartbroken. She does not answer our calls and has not responded to any heartfelt texts since then, and we try dozens of times every day. My parents and grandmother seem very distressed and while I try to help them I end up on the same train as them. I want to be the leader figure but it's as if we are all suffering from depression. Not knowing when we will get a reply I hate having to feel like this. Everyone is seriously down and depressed, and focusing on my schoolwork is becoming very difficult. I hate seeing my parents sad and so down, but I don't know where to go or if our situation will be resolved. I genuinely fear the day where we lost all communication from my sister (which events could be leading to) and we lose a branch of our family, plunging our family even deeper in a state of depression. I don't know where to go from here or how to cheer anyone up or anything, and I can't talk to anyone since my parents want the situation to be strictly private. What do I do?

Me and my brother got married yesterday me and him are both guys of course. Is it wrong for us to be together ?

I know it is still early to be planning Christmas but what might everyone like to make this Christmas even more special then last.

I work as a stock guy at a convenient store. I use a box cutter to open boxes and when I come home I place it on my night stand next to my bed. My younger brothers were wrestling and my one brother shoved him on to my box cutter and he cut his forearm open. I know I should have concealed the box cutter in a drawer or in my work pants. However I hadn't expected that they would go to my room roughing it out like that. Am I the one at fault or was it simple an accident that could've been avoided. Thanks.

I made this account specifically to ask this question because I am at my wit's end. My mother is abusive, co-dependent, bi-polar and narcissistic. She's been given medication, she refuses to take them. Her co-dependence started before my sister, who was 25 at the time, had to go completely No-Contact with our entire family just to get away from her. Because of my sister's actions at the time, I was never allowed to learn how to drive, get a job, or learn to do daily things needed in life. To solidify this, we would always move around to tiny towns in the middle of nowhere so that my choices would be extremely limited. I am now an adult. I told her recently that I wanted to go to University recently & she exploded at me, telling me to just take online classes so she wouldn't have to drive me anywhere. I tried to shoehorn my way into getting a license, but here's the problem... There are no uber drivers or taxis available in my town, so I'm not at all sure what to do. We also live very far apart from our neighbors on a little bit of land. It is too far to walk. She guilt-trips, lies & gaslights constantly, and if I happen to have proof of what I'm explaining or talking about, she'll throw a tantrum and storm off into her room & slam the door. My father is her biggest enabler, telling me that it's best if I just 'let her win'. She's turning he and I against each other constantly, telling me she's jealous that I'm in a good mood and that if she's not, no one can be. Ideas??

Currentyl I am 15 years old and am a freshman in high school. I live in West Virginia with my Dad and my twin brother. When i was 5 years old we moved into this small house. At first i was very content with my life, but now I truly wish that my family could just teleport to a new home. My house hasn't had any heat since I was in 5th grade. My dad turned off the water a little over a year ago. Recently, i got a new bed because my old one was pretty much just oprn springs. My brother's bed still cuts and scrapes him. Now that I have a new bed, i have to share it with my dad. Currently my house is filled with bottles and cups filled with pee. As far as #2 is concered, bags have replaced the toilet. My dad acts like he doesnt know whats going on amd asks me and my brother why we arent that social. I dont want my dad to get into any legal trouble Any advice?

Sometimes my parents jokingly hit me (But at times it's a little too hard), they yell at me over little things, and sometimes deny me food and feed me HOURS after denying me food.

Hendricks county told me i had to get a court order to change the name on birth certificate i dont know where to start
