my parents snoop through everything. they even look through my trash for pads, love notes, diaries, etc. i sometimes doodle when im bored, and i get love letters from others. i dont want my parents to find out about them, so i bought myself a paper shredder and i shred my trash i don't want my parents to know about. yesterday my mom found my paper shredder, and she's demanding me to explain to her everything i shred in it. what should i do?

He is my dads half brother because they share the same dad. He is Australian. He was here for Christmas for 2 weeks. He is only 9 years older than me so we got along and hung out a bit. He is really sexy, hot, and of course there is the accent.one of my college friends actually had sex with him while he was here and I honestly felt jealous. I know it is sick and twisted and I don't think I would ever try to act on it. But do I need therapy? He did not really hang around our family all that much because he lives in Australia. Like I said I am not planning on starting anything with him. Its not like I think we are going to get married and I will start having his babies.

Do you think Chris Watts actually believed he would get away with it or do you believe he just didnt think about the consequences and the future results of his decision to kill his family?

My brother (24 y/o) laughs very loudly at times, sometimes when we're trying to sleep, sometimes when other members of the family are doing work. Sometimes he'll play a video game online and practically yell at his friends over his headset. That's annoying, so sometimes people from my family will complain about it, but he'll say something like "I do what I want" and continue the behavior, or momentarily exaggerate that behavior, and we just give up. Today he was just walking around our apartment listening to music and I was laughing at a YouTube video or something. We do live in a small apartment, and my room's door is open. He comes in and tells me to stop laughing, and proceeds to say some hurtful things towards me, whatever. I laugh more sparingly after that, but he comes in and screams at me to "SHUT UP!". So I stopped laughing to avoid further angering him, because he's a bit unpredictable when angry. I know he's hypocritical, but I feel like he's incredibly controlling as well, am I wrong? He used to do this when I was younger too. Our computer at the time was in the living room and I'd be laughing about something, and he'd tell me to "shutup", so overtime I developed a quieter, breathier laugh, but then he began insulting me for having a quieter laugh. It kinda messed with my head at the time, because I was essentially being reprimanded for trying to comply with his wishes to the best of my ability. He also complains when my parents laugh as well.

I moved out in 2012 when I was 20 and lived on my own for like three months before things went downhill. The guy I moved in with broke up with me and I couldn't afford a place of my own, so I moved back home. I have had a job this entire time but not one that pays enough to have my own place. I've applied to far better jobs (I make $11/he at my job that I've worked at for five years now) and was even hired at a reappy good company after a phone interview and was supposed to start on a Monday and then got called the day before I would have started and was told that they made a mistake and the job was going to someone else. I have really bad luck and I guess it's just drug me down. I'm already an extremely depressed and anxious guy to begin with so keeping a routine (i.e. going to work and coming home, knowing that everything is ok) has been helpful with that. But I also see people younger than me who have moved to a whole different state and have been on their own since 18. I know most probably have friends to live with. I don't. So in order to have my own place, I'll be responsible for all of it and it's expensive. And i feel like I need to just suck it up and pay the rent, even if I have to dip into my savings to do it, just so I don't feel like such a waste of a person. Is that stupid though?

My brother and I bathed together because my brother does not know how to bathe himself. I am 13 years old and my brother 7. Until what year can I shower him?

So I moved out my parents house and have all my mail forwarded to my new apartment. My sister still lives with my parents. Apparently the name Amanda and Ariana are too similar because I've been getting all her mail forwarded to me. This is super annoying, it's not like I'm seeing her all the time to give her it so I just make piles of mail for her. How can I stop this? Is the post office just trained to see one letter and forward or what? Also all these are printed names not handwritten. Is there someone I can call to complain to?

I already live with him and my daughter and he wears loose shorts or just boxers, i have seen it exposed countless times from him either sleeping on the couch or when he wears his white basketball shorts , its so hard to avoid I have told my daughter before and she said thats just part of him ,

I work for a company that tends to run out of work this time of year, so I take some days off here, and there. Well, almost everytime I'm taking a day off, and trying to sleep in, my brother knocks on my door, and wakes me up just to ask if I'm going to work, than I cant go back to sleep. It pisses me off. Should it?

So my family has a thing girls talking to boys so last year 2018 my mother caught me with a guy once just talking after a few months i came home late and she hit me and said bad stuff to me I don't blame her i did this that may let my parents fight over after a few months i discoverd that i was 5 months pregnant and my mother and auntie and sister found out they helped me with the abortion since then my mother hasn't trust me with going out she hates my friends she told me to lose my friendships with them and i did now i have no one at the end of the year we traveled it's weird that she let me go out with a few of my friends to a carnival and afterwords i would go back to her so she wouldn't say i stay with them all the time even tho it's been 3 months since i last have fun and saw my friends and now when we're back in my country and i told her that i wanna go to a restaurant with my friends and they comee bcak ti my house afterwords she told me not to go to their house after the restaurant straight home my mother wasn't like this and I want her to trust me again what should i do play help me

I was holding my cat and my mom was standing near the door, the cat always stays in my room because my parents don't let the cat in the entire house which is understandable cuz my cat is terrible lol, we rarely let the cat in the living room and only for an hour. So I was just joking with my mom and going towards the door and asking my mom (like 3 times) if I can let the cat in the living room, I was just joking, and she got mad and pushed me, It didn't hurt or anything, she didn't push hard but A month ago i hurt my ankle really bad and never treated it and it hurts when my foot moves a certain way, after I just said she shouldn't push me like that and she just got really mad and said it's my fault, and that she can do anything she wants to me, I really had no words in that moment, I kept saying i was joking and she said I wasn't and I honestly just wasn't upset she pushed me, just that she didn't care about my foot but after she said she can do whatever she wants to me i got upset. She then called me terrible and said I'm terrible and pathetic, and that I never do something right. She used to say this to me everytime we had a fight. I struggle with suicide and when i told her a few years ago she made it about herself like she was the victim, even now she usually shames for it like she was the victim. She is great when she doesn't do stuff like this but honestly she never really pays attention to me. I get easily triggered by words and it hurts.

I am 16 years old, and I live with my mother, father, and little brother who is 11 years old. I have a sister who is 25 years old and has since moved out of the house. My mother is a narcissist. Me and my Dad are really close, and are known as the 'scapegoat' in the family where all problems in her life, and or my brothers life are pinned on me and my father, mostly me though. My brother is a really good kid - but can be seen as the opposite of me. Where I am skinny and built, he is a fat. Where I get great grades in school, he gets okay grades. Where I am constantly hanging out with people, sometimes not even my own age, he is always alone or with my mom. Although treated like the golden child, maybe even a prince, he always adored me, which my mother hates. However, for some reason I can explain, I hate it too. Without even knowing it, I verbally abuse him - because physical abuse will result in punishment. I don't even know why I do it, and I don't realize that I'm doing it until after the fact and hes crying. Yesterday, we had another episode like we usually do and my father got really pissed, and it opened my eyes to the seriousness of the situation. It should also be noted that my little brother abuses his power sometimes, but my dad claims its because I mentally abuse him in the first place? What can I do? Because I really like this little kid but however I try to show it ends up being negative. I just really want to know why I'm doing it.

whats the best way to show a single mother that im there for her? personally just wants whats best for her and her kids even if thats not me (the father isn't really in the picture as he doesnt really seem to care about taking care of them in anyway shape or form, which i guess is good as the last time he seemed to care like this last Christmas he stole from her, which if you ask me would of been more of enough reason to cut any real contact with him for me though she doesnt just because he's the dad) she's had a hard life to say the least (baby daddy issues, abusive dad for examples) any advice to help?

So I ve been reading my moms messages ever since I was suspicious of her and her boss "doing stuff" and lately, they ve been talking about coming to our house (and i have the only room in the house besides my grandmother who has the master) and they ve been talking about doing the f**k! (yes, doing the f**k) anyway, i want to tell her that it s wrong (i also hate having to think about my mom doing the f**k with anyone other than her boyfriend, tho shes single rn) but i also don t want to get in trouble that I read her messages, because she is insecure about me reading her messages. Any advice?? I only have til Saturday night because I ll be at my father s house on that night and they plan on doing it in my room!!!! I need advice!!

So my parents have always loved my brother more than me. Even after they found out about the abuse he put me through. He had to be separated from our home, and my parents keep saying how he was such a good kid, and that thedy wished he was here. Recently they've been saying he was just trying to show how much he loved me. And honestly I just think it's time to end it. After all, if I did they could have their little boy back, and I wouldn't get hurt anymore. What do you think?

I'm pretty sure my brother was abusive to me as a child, pretty sure being that we as a family had to go to counseling and my brother was removed from my home. My dad and mom started telling me that it was "brotherly love" and that he only had my best interests at heart. What does that mean exactly? Am I reading too far into this, or am I actually in the wrong here? If so how do i fix it and how do i talk to my parents?

Long story short, he F'd up his life during high school. He didn't care too much about school and ditched a lot, leaving my parent miserable. As the only 2 son, my parent relied on my heavily as a kid. I had to be the son that they never had. He was lazy, short tempered, and too much of an ego. He moved in with my sister to change for the better, but after a few months, he lied and went back to the same old, forcing him to move out. He went to move in with friends, but he always got into fight with them because he is short tempered. Now, it has been 2 months, and he had to move back with my sister and I. We moved to a new apartment and he seems like he doesn't want to live with us anymore because we gave each other rules. As a brother, I hate to see him being treated like crap, but he did do it to himself.

I'm tired from my life, it is so hard living with my family even though I am currently going to a University. It is so hard for me to share the same room as my grandma who is 50 years older than me (i'm 19, she's 69). We don't get along at all. I always contain myself from fighting with her but she loves drama and repeating the same thing over and over again and she loves the fact that I have to depend from her because I'm adopted and don't have enough money to buy a car, so she uses it to her advantage and teases me if I have to go somewhere and need a ride. She makes me want to kill myself. I don't like sharing a room with her. We are the complete opposite of each other, my side of the bedroom looks like an office space or cubicle should I say while her side of the bedroom looks like a thrift store and it makes me lose my mind🤯. I haven't been home for 6 months and she has been using my things and belongings without my permission then when I say something she threatens to call the police on me. Everything about her irritates me - her voice, her weight, her stuff in my room, her lectures, her talking, her breathing, her chewing, her slurping her tea, her wrinkles, her Russian accent...I just can't take it anymore! I don't know what to do with my stuff hence we live in a small house with a big family, everyone has to share a room with someone. Before I had my own room and didn't have any problems but because of a divorce and financial problems we had to downsize. The thing though is that I don't have enough money to move out and buy a place of my own...I don't even have enough money to buy m own food and pay for my phone

When I can tell he's really starting to like me. He wants to go on a date and text more often. He wants to get into a relationship with me. I feel these panicky feelings inside me, I start regretting everything and I want to end it. What's wrong with me and why do i feel this way? How can I overcome it? P.s I've always felt this way when I first started dating.

My 22 year old son just graduated with an Economic degree from a state University. keeps telling me he will be a millionaire because he doesn't want to get married, lives cheap, he wants to have room mates even though he could pay the mortgage on his own, and he plans to buy foreclosure homes and flip them. My question is, is that really possible to be millionaire from flipping homes and doing those other things?

Lo que sucede es que tengo una tia que es solterona tiene 38 años y pues mi familia va a organizar un par de dias de campo y me dijeron que me voy a quedar a dormir en la casa de campaña de mi tia ya que la de mis padres es para dos personas. No es que quiera hacerlo con ella pero si quisiera tocarla.

This is kinda wierd, but i'm in Third grade and my dads friend from back home has been really strange around me. I haven't told anyone, but he keeps reminding me more than usual to not talk about our STT (special tickle time) but like obviously I haven't. I think he's scared that i'm Gonna not wanna play anymore, and i'm Actually kind of getting tired of him babysitting me even when my parents are still home. Should I tell my parents that I think he's a weirdo. I think I'm getting sick from the cigarette inhalers he makes me take for my asthma and the red grape juice he lets me drink to feel more silly, but I could just be over thinking it. He's spending the night again tonight so let me know soon

I was showing my sister a picture and she took my device from my hands. I got defensive and yanked it away from her. Now she is mad and I feel awful for it, I feel like I should apologise but I don t even know if she ll let me approach her

My sister is really upset she doesn't want to sleep with me. How can I help her feel better ? Is it ok for her to sleep with me ?

So my children's father is upset with me because our gas was turned off today I'm responsible for making sure our gas is always active. He pays all the bills but the gas is in my name as well as a few other bills. So he is really upset with me and I get it! It's cold we have little children and it was just stupid on my part and I really don't have any excuse. I apologized I talked about it but he is super pissed and he wants me to talk about it and is saying I'm a piece of **** and a ***** whatever whatever because he feels I don't care which isn't true. It happened and I just don't want to argue. We had to switch gas service and won't have gas for 4 days. I feel awful but I am not talking about it. I'm upset because he is getting a little aggressive talking about the situation. He can't make a person react the way he think they should. Our services were disconnected because I was trying to by us time because of Christmas and the other bills but that was just stupid of me

I am divorced but I am still on friendly terms with my ex husband Bill. We did not have any children. Bill was good friends with my parents when we were married and he remained good friends with them after the divorce. Mom and dad love to go to the movies and even more love to go out to a restaurant for a meal. They don't have a lot of money so they don't get to do that often. Bill knows this and sometimes takes them out to a high end restaurant and then to the movies all on his dime. Mom and dad REALLY enjoy these outings. They tell me how much fun they had doing it and look forward to the next time Bill takes them out. My gal friends tell me to tell Bill to stop dong that. They say that I need to get on with my life and I can't do that if Bill is still in the picture. I talk to Bill occasionally to get his advice on financial matters as he gives very good advice. I see him rarely, usually at my parents house when he picks them up to take them out for the night. These meetings are friendly and he never asked me about my personal life. My parents tell me Bill is a great guy for giving them some fun in life. Should I ask my parents to stop seeing and talking about Bill? Please give me your advice.

I was adopted, she abandoned me and years later she married and had 3 children with that person. I have 3 half siblings who know nothing of my existence. All of her kids are grown adults now.

for the last 10 years we have been celebrating Christmas at our house because we invite them over. We didn't invite them last week and they called us and asked why we had no party in the voice mail. But why do we have to invite them all the time? Why don't they invite us. I don't want ourily to fight over this however they never invite us.

My sister is excited that her favorite movie Bohemiam Rhapsody is coming out on DVD this month. She's so excited she's screaming like a little girl yet she's 12 years old she said she wants it for her birthday which happens to be next month she'll be 13. It's after 11:30 here I can't get her to sleep she's too excited. I think she's gonna have a panic attack. How can I calm her down ? Is it normal for her to be this excited ?
