So my great grandpa passed away a little over a month ago. He has two children. A son (power of attorney) and a daughter (a benificiary). His daughter (my grandma) lives in his house which is to be sold. My siblings and i and my mom have belongings in the house and interest after its sold. She changed the locks and wont let anyone in to clean the house (she hoarded it) and to get our things. My uncle (her brother) doesnt live in the same state and she thinks she can do whatever she wants. We had probate court and everything is settled but she is evil and doesnt want us to have our memories of our great grandpa who was a huge part of our lives. What can we do?

My mom says im disrespectful because i dont want to clean up behind the people who pay rent here to live. They are nasty and eat all our food and leave messes for everyone to clean but them. Im sick of it. I also dont say Mrs. Or Mr. To them because i see no point. I say things like please and thank you but I believe adults are required to respect us too not just kids respect adults.

So in early September my dad moved out of our family home and separated from my mom. I took this really hard and felt as if life would never be the same. However in November dyfs took my parents to court because my mom was non compliant and never showed up for drug test. However they were able to test her eventually. She failed again for the 12th time for opiates and a bunch of other things. Dyfs came with police to our house and waited 2 hours for my mom. She wouldn't come home. Finally after 2 hours my mom said the dyfs lady can go to her office and meet her. My mom never showed. And dyfs came back gave they gave my dad full custody and made us move to his apartment for 3 days until the next court date. The judge order that my dad move back into the house with the kids and my mom to move in with my grandmother. It's been a couple of months now. My mom is still denying she has a problem. She's in and out of hospitals getting morphine for her colitis. Before all of this I've never spent more than a day without her. It's been since November now. I have my moments of being sad but it's nothing like when dad left. I was so much closer to mom. I feel like no emotions at times. Is this normal? Or am I just heartless?

So last night I've got a text from a random number and it said, "Brandon, I am Pregnant". I've kicked him out because I was so furious with him.

Ive been out of hs for 2 yrs since junior year due to my school setting and the enviroment that i was placed in when attempting to make changes transfer schools which i wanted to do they wouldnt allow it due to my residence & guardian now its held me back..tried everything including online school.. ive had social anxiety at times even depression i dont go out much we live in a disclosed area theres not much to do I spend all my time sitting at home watching over my sister that has a permanent disability autism. Anyway my uncle died when I was 16 the year I fell off with school. & recently my father just passed & im 18.. That was the only close family I had for emotional suport & just relationship wise. Im really unsure of what to do the only person I have left is my mother which we dont get along much she doesnt care about my future & has no desire to support me in anything & I cant do much because of that since I have to rely on her pretty much for everything. shes content with me sitting back doing nothing & im not happy ab that... she threatens to kick me out at times for no reason knowing my circumstances too when I ask for help. I think its toxic. really I just wanna get up and walk away if I had help with somebody that could really support me & at least attempt to help i could build a future for myself and live a normal life. Yet I need 2 years of highschool for a diploma i was looking towards enlisting in the marines thats my goal but as of rn im just stuck.

My mom and I have had a poor relationship for years. She has borderline personality disorder and refuses all treatment. She and my kids are very close so I have tried to let them see each other in small doses, but I've had to cut back quite a bit. I was letting them stay at her house for short periods (1-1.5 hrs max) and I would go somewhere nearby because she and I can't be in the same room without fighting. Well, the last time my 4 yr old son was there he wanted a bath (it's his favorite activity) and she didn't realize there was toilet bowl cleaner in left in her bathtub from her useless attempt to unclog the drain with it (she has no sense of smell from nasal surgery a few yrs ago). So my kid essentially took a bath in toilet bowl cleaner and when I tried to ask what chemical she'd used, she screamed at me for finding fault with her. I called poison control and my son was fine, but it's of course the last time she'll have them alone. She's angry and guilts me every time I talk to her. I know I'm doing the right thing but I still feel guilty for some reason. Has anyone dealt with a toxic parent and found ways to feel okay about it?

I'm a straight male and my girlfriend is pregnant and we still don't know the gender. I keep this to myself cuz I don't want to seem mean or rude, but I really hope it's not a guy. I'm a guy myself but I hate boys and I want to get more in touch with my feminine side. I hate having to always act macho and prove my toughness, it gets so annoying after awhile. That's why I want a daughter. Obviously the baby being healthy is the most important part, but deep down, I have a very strong preference for a baby girl. If it turns out to be a boy, I will act happy for my girlfriend and baby, but deep down I'll be depressed. Hopefully it's a girl so I don't have to deal with that.

For family court, but I'm scared of his behavior and I don't have any family here in Illinois . I tried to get a OP against him but they denied my request and I'm scared and just want to be with my family but I don't know if I am able to move now that he is trying to start a family case . I feel stuck and lost🤦🏾‍♀️

I have always had issues with not being happy ever since I was a little kid about six is when I realized that life sucks and ever since it has been a down hill slope from there. I am at my wits end, because I'm 20 years-old with no sense of direction at the moment and as hard I try putting applications for jobs I just cannot find one or get one. I was in community college, but I had to quit because I cannot afford it. I have not told any of my family that I dropped out, because my grandparents would be disappointed and my mother would just yell at me but at least she can still collect my child support check from my father so that's a plus for her. I feel like the walls are slowly closing in on me and I don't know what to do anymore. I am done, but I don't think I would ever kill myself because no matter what has happened to me in my past I still imagine this future that I want I just don't know how to get there. Also I would be spitting in the face to my grandparents whom I believe love me or at least are really great pretenders. I have no friends and I cannot talk to my family so I come to the strangers of the internet to help with I don't know reassurance (?) or advice. It is not like I have not been trying to find a path in life. I finished middle school with a dream and a plan, but ever since finishing high school the plan has fallen to ruins, the dream is now just a distant memory. I have went from FBI agent with a law degree future to a nobody in less than 2 years.

I get jealous of women who's parents call them up and ask how they are doing, invite them for dinner, etc. But I call them if I want to hear from them. To ask if I can come visit, to ask how they are, or even with a question. I used to do laundry at my parent's until they decided they didn't want me to anymore. Even though I showed my appreciation. Picked up any groceries they needed on the way, helped with housework, offered to pay. But they said since I "make more than them" I can do laundry elsewhere. Which I absolutely do not make more than them. I live paycheck to paycheck. But that is not their problem, so I stopped going per their request. And I quit calling randomly because I felt I was just interrupting their time. They don't buy gifts for the family anymore for holidays, but their Aussie (who's now 6) gets a pile of gifts and my mom will show me videos of him opening them. Cooing over how "cute, and funny" it is. I don't find it either. He is a very spoiled and aggressive dog. Bit both my grandmother and my 5 year old niece when they were just going to pet him. My mom has even said to my face she prefers her pets over people. I did continue to buy them gifts, regardless of whether they did or not. Even would buy my mom things just because. I just liked doing it. But my mom once said to me "hey, if you ever want to buy me something just because" when I let her taste a drink I had brought. In a nutshell, I have always tried to go above and beyond. Always buying them the nicest gifts I could afford for holidays, doing favors without being asked, asked to spend time with them, expressed how much I loved sitting down and having dinner with them, never hesitated to help my mom if she needed anything, I updated them on my life, I just tried to be a part of theirs. But it is always about the pets and their friends. Never time for family. Should I just give up?

My sister has been through some trauma, she got "help" she has been through many doctors up and down the coast many therapists the whole 9 yards, we've tried everything to get her to want to go to school even sitting by her side in class all day and even bribing her/ taking away her things etc. she does not understand how important it is. She doesn't understand there are laws you need to follow. No one knows what to do anymore and I don't want my mom to end up going to jail or her in a foster home. I don't want any others getting involved I just want her family to be there to help her through it, and help her understand. We need to know what to do. PLEASE HELP

Just to give a little context here, I'm a 26 year old grown adult that still lives at home, a few years ago I was diagnosed with bipolar after a few financially destructive years (a lot of debt and nothing to show for it). I'm on the mend now but given my financial situation I have no other option than to live with my parents. My mother is fantastic and supportive in nearly every way, my dad however has in my opinion bullied me throughout childhood and into my adult life, making our living situation extremely difficult. Examples of the difficult situations would be at one point I decided to trade in my car for a motorbike to save money, he got very drunk one evening and told me "you're too fat to ride a motorbike", he continued on this subject for a few hours, I still went on to buy the motorbike and owned it for a couple of years but that example just shows how nasty he can be. I've recently also just started doing a university course that my employer has paid for, he isn't interested in any extra stress I'm experiencing and seems to quite enjoy adding to it. I guess my real question is how can I cope with the negative and bullying behaviour while I have no choice but to live here? I do have a financial plan but it means I won't be able to move out for at least 18 months or so. I'd also like to add that I am grateful for my parents putting a roof over my head! Please don't see this as me being unappreciative!

I'm a white 18 year old girl, my dad is also white. My step mom likes to joke that all the boys there will be staring at me. I think that's weird is it true they like to stare? Is it because of my color skin? What should I expect in the Phillipines?

Yes, they don't think it's racist it's " historical".

I ran away from home 2 years ago, to get me and my 4 other siblings removed due to terrible conditions for basically our entire lives. Abuse, drugs, neglect and my mother is severely mentally ill. She was a single mom until the last two children, at the time 7 and 5. Step dad allows abusive behavior etc. So anyways, two years step dad and mom are living in a motel, from being evicted and my two youngest siblings were dumped there. The court made the decision but I don t understand! They were in a home prior that wanted them! It s a long story but now they don t even have bedrooms, a stove and closed off from the rest of us since my mother has disowned me and the rest

I feel like I hate him because he always has his tv blaring and I can't nap or study during the day it's so annoying. He always acts sarcastic towards my mom. He leaves his pubes in the shower. Like always. He hardly works even though my mom has two jobs. He says he feels sick to work but not sick enough to not watch his tv all day. There a thousand other reasons. But I'm in college and I've never worked full time and I don't know what to do besides move out but I have no money or a lot of work experience.

My wife wants me to hug her a lot more than usual. Why does she love hugs so much ?

he drives her car to work and it breaks down and this isn t the first time, I tell my daughter unless he helps me fix it im not going to touch it,,,,,,,,,,,,, she uses your my dad you should help me don t you care will she needs a car with that baby so im between a rock and a hard place

I almost died in an incident and the police were involved. I went to tell my parents and they literally didn't care. They went back to sleep.

i'm 24 years of old male. day before yesterday i put my smartphone in my mom room with video recording mode enabled when she was about to change clothes after a bath. after a few minutes she got out her room & acted very normally, nothing was unusual i could notice. & then i got my smartphone & was checking the video recorded. i was totally embarrassed by what i saw. the video was recorded as following: mom was changing clothes - she was totally naked. & then she saw my hidden phone -she got my phone & checked it - she got shocked to realise that it was recording everything -but she put the phone back the very way it was placed before -perhaps she didn't want me to know that she was checking my phone (my mom doesn't know much about phones or english - we're from india). However she was still in shock. i didn't have the courage to watch the rest of the video. i got really embarrased & very sad. then i deleted that video (without watching the rest of the video) & went straight to bed & slept all day (i'm a very sensitive boy -i easily get sad). now i have no courage at least to talk with mom or face her. i don't know what she 's thinking about me. i expect some comments from some real mothers, because i like to know how would a mother feels about such an incident. please help & no jokes please!!! the reason i easily get sad is that i have a sort of mental depression. i was having treatment for my mental depression condition in my teens. i'm not lying -i'm disappointed to see a comment saying i'm lying. everything i've posted is true. i've no clear idea why somebody thinks i'm lying i accept i was doing something bad, wrong. and i'm very guilty about it. it hurts me.

A former employee threatens to turn us in for paying under the table if we do not pay him monthly. He doesn't work for us anymore Thanks guys it's for my project

I feel SO bad about this and Im in my late 20s. My grandma is no longer alive, but when I was 6-7 years old, I was at her house and got angry at her for something stupid. I threw a temper tantrum and literally called her the B word (the whole word) and I STILL remember the shocked look on her face. I feel so guilty about this. My mother was an argumentative person who cussed around me when I was that age so that's probably where I got it from. Has anyone else ever done this to their grandparents?

I am an adult and most cousins are college aged or just out of college.

How do I prevent being depressed during it where I fail to have fun at the event I really want to enjoy because of feeling chronically sad like I am at a funeral for someone close or feeling anxious. Last time, a year ago, I only enjoyed half of it and spent weeks worrying about whether or not I enjoyed it. I want to prevent that this year. , ·--- My Dad died, I don't have one anymore.

I am the youngest of my three siblings and i have a problem perpetually about my father who gives me the silent treatment at home. It always been hard being around my dads presence with him verbally watching every step i do without him noticing i am aware he looks at me every time i do something example. I could be doing the dishes and he would glare at me or i could be in his way of him doing something and he would give me a mean stare. I dont speak to him at all because of how i grew up dealing with his anger towards me since i was a corky kid. I dont have feelings towards him at all i really dont care at all about what he does but it frustrates me he doesn't change his attitude when he basically likes to start problems not only with me but with other people and close neighbors as well. My mother steps into his defense when it comes to a argument that would be so stupid to discuss about. I have been told by many people my parents are a bunch of narcissistic people and i understand that and i see that but i have to cope with it as if its fine. I am totally the opposite of how my parents are and i dont like to discuss or get into arguments unlike my siblings and my parents. I dont like getting involved in their drama. Back to my father he always brings up saying he pays bills and i live in the same roof which i completely understand but as i have told them dont bring kids into this world if youre going to complain about the consequences.. so deal

Yesterday was our mom's funeral after her 2 year fight with cancer. While friends and family were distraught and in tears, our brother didnt cry at all, even when people went up to him sobbing he spend most of the day just smiling and saying he was "fine". How the hell could he be fine. A bunch of people kept approaching him about it and he just shrugged them off saying he's fine with a grin or smirk. We figured he needed more time after the reception but even then, that night when we were all still upset, he was still acting like everything was fine. Which is odd because amongst us, he was one of the closest to her. Upset by his behavior, this morning me, my other 3 siblings and a few other family members sat him down to confront him about it and he got defensive saying stuff like "what do you guys want from me" and to leave him alone about it, he didnt care what we thought. And he's been in his room even since, but even when I went up to check on him he was playing video game wtf. He's actually rubbing us all the wrong way at this point. Like he seriously doesnt care. Perhaps I should've mentioned earlier, were not talking about a little kid here, he's 23 years old. Yes everyone grieves differently but he should know how to behave appropriately and his behavior is inappropriate to say the least. So unacceptable that people dont believe this, (ie. saying its a troll question when its not). If we werent living it, id say it was fake as well. that's how absurd his behavior is.

My parents separated about a year ago, my mother took my younger siblings and moved out. My mother and I had a bad relationship, and we don't talk. Our house is in pretty bad shape, it's essentially not liveable, and I spend at least 4 days a week elsewhere. My dad is on and off horribly depressed, sometimes he'll just sleep 16+ hours. He works part time and luckily his schedule is very flexible, but I wind up mostly providing for myself as he doesn't make very much. I feel like he's constantly pushing things back, like moving out, and its hard. He gets mad whenever I bring it up, which is frustrating because the state of the house is just getting worse and I don't know how much longer I can stay here. I have a very close friend who has a spare room I could stay in, her Mom is actually the closest to a mom I've ever had. The only reason I'm still here is because I feel guilty leaving, he's said before I was one of the only things that kept him going after my Mom left.

i like artists like khalid, kehlani, the weeknd, and some post malone.

Do most guys feel weird about it or are they fine with it? I'm cool with it, I was just wondering how other guys felt.

I'm 18 years old and pregnant. I live with my boyfriends parents after coming out of an abusive home. I had no support or assistance from my mother growing up there. Both I and my boyfriend are without driver's licenses and jobs. Families won't help either of us and we don't have any friends that are willing to help is get on our feet. We live 7 miles out from the nearest town which would be impossible to walk to every day. I don't know what to do. I know I'm not ready to be a mom because we can't even do things for ourselves yet. But how can we start when no one will help us?? I'm depressed out of my mind and I feel like my life is over.

My ******* nephew and I are Italian but his parents NEVER EVER raised him to be respectful. He has the old Italian ways that treat women like crap. He's been living with us and sleeps on the couch. In his own mind, he thinks he's going to take over the house when we're gone.

I'm 18 years old my name is Eric and I'm currently serving in the us army and have orders for airborne and rasp so I'm already a little stressed out but to top it off my mom is having a very important surgery and she's not likely to pull through and I've been trying to cope with the possibility of her passing because I know it's coming soon but I dont want to think about it. I started packing for airborne school today because I leave for it Thursday and I just cant stop thinking about it, my mother and I were never too close and I was never the best son and it kills me to say that so I've been trying to make the best of the moments we have together I call her everyday and text her every chance I get but I cant help but cry when I think about her passing I just wanna know how people make it through a thing like this...?

his name is jp. he has a really high pitched voice, and every day, except wednesdays, he wakes up at 11 am and playing 10 hrs of fortnite a day. whenever someone asks him any question, he responds "i dont know". he never eats breakfast or lunch, but at chick fil a, he gets a southwest salad, a nuber 1, large waffle fries, 12 chicken nuggets, a milkshake, and a large soda. he procrastinates when doing homework, and he sometimes takes his clothes off in class, props his legs up on the table, and farts. he also drinks beer in class

There's this couple in my neighborhood. A young man in his mid 20's & his wife in her early 30's. They're interracial too not that it matters but people say they're not fit to be parents. I know them through church because the dad will sometimes work with a youth group for teenagers and my son is in that group. People say he's not fit to be a father because he dresses strange sometimes and has had his nails painted in the past & skateboards. He'll wear anything from leather jeans to basket ball jerseys to church but the nails is what ticks people off. His wife is always dressed in someone skimpy that shows a lot. She's beautiful but a lot of the people at church talk. They're the sweetest people though. I don't think they should judge her just because she wears low cut dresses or because he's weird.
