Facebook ended up getting pregnant from a one night stand and I told her family and she told me not to because this would be too stressful but I was drunk and getting high all the time so she ended up blocking me on Facebook making it to where I can't contact her 7 months later after she had the baby she sent me pictures in like Heres pictures of your baby, and now we're back to fighting and she's always complaining that she misses her first babydaddy he committed suicide and told me she didn't wanted nothing to do with me should I just let the baby and her go and move on with life

I have been talking to my mom about my earnings and told her I could rent an apartment in the next 5 years. She got upset and told me after all these years you are just gonna leave me and live alone? She keeps laughing and making fun of me wanting to live alone. Im pretty sure I can pull it off because of my job and Im thankful for what Im earning. I dont really understand her mindset cuz if I stayed at my moms house forever I will not feel like growing up or having my own responsibilities. My parents are religious and will only allow me to live somewhere else If I get married which is not what I want to do at all, I will never get married cuz it was never my intention for my life. My question to parents is would you be upset if one day your son will decide to live somewhere else other than the parents house If he had a decent job and not getting married?

Hello. I am a 16 year old girl who is currently living in a bedroom with 2 other people. I would be okay with it if it was with young siblings, however I am sharing this room with two grown adults. Everyone needs privacy, even teenagers, and although it is hard for me not to sound entitled in this post, I also need privacy. My mother sleeps in the same bed with me (it's a queen sized bed so it's not really weird) because she snores loud so my dad can't sleep in the same room as her. My older sister who is almost 25 works in a call center and was told she could work at home, and is using my room for her work (which means my desk is completely taken up by her two monitors and all her stuff). I understand why this situation is happening, but my sister works until 6:30 pm, which means I'm not allowed in my room until she leaves. This leaves me feeling suffocated by them, and when I try to set boundaries (like no drinking in my room, no touching my things around her, not leaving trash or dishes) I am disregarded and laughed at. I don't know what to do, and I just wanna be able to have my stuff to myself and my boundaries respected, even if I am 16. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

My mentally Ill younger brother, is walking all over the house and pooping everywhere and it smells. My mom is fed of cleaning it and has gone on strike till my dad cleans up today's messes. It's in the bathtub, the rug in the living room, outside in the garage. IT SMELLS REALLY BAD.

My sister lives her life very stereotypically and I'm not like that at all. I enjoy being loud and out there. As I've grown as a person I've started to change and I don't act like my sister anymore. Because of this my parents have started being a lot harder on me for reasons that aren't justified. They took my phone because of the way I talk and my attitude but really I've just been trying to act like my self around them more. This isn't working and app I think I might just have to pretend to be like my sister. this will make me miserable but its all I got. what do I do

I am a senior in highschool, I plan on moving in with my boyfriend and finishing school. I have enough money to survive on my own as I do have a stable job and the help of my boyfriend but i have a guilt trip on leaving. My family has been toxic and controlling my whole life i feel trapped and they say mean things to me but they buy me stuff or do things to make me feel better after this. They treat me like a little kid and wont let me go anywhere or do anything they told me i have to listen to them until im 21 years old. I feel horrible for leaving but I know ill be so much happier on my own. Im scared they will try to show up to my school or try to harrass me after leaving. Should i go for it or remain in this situation. My parents are definitely mentally ill and I dont want them to do anything to themselves because i left them.

My parents took my phone away a little over 2 months ago bc of behavior and attitude. Ive since then been very careful how I act around the house and have been doing my chores mostly without being asked. I waited until last week to bring up the topic of earning my phone back but my mom still said "We had a bad time for a long time so now we have to have a good time for a long time" I don't know what she means by this but at this rate they don't seem to be leaning towards giving me my phone back any time soon. Im worried that I won't get my phone back until April and I've had my phone taken since the beginning of December. What do I do?????

Anyone else agree blood doesn't mean anything, I come from a very distant family, most of us don't talk, half of us don't even send cards out or wish happy birthdays, it just proves relatives are relatives, quite sad really, such a vile family, I can't stand any of them and they don't like me for no reason what so ever, I know for a fact if I was dying none of them would actually care, I don't even want them at my funeral.

This week I bought The Ordinary salycic acid since I've been having some bad break outs and read some great reviews about the product. My mom was so suspicous about the brand just because you could buy it at H&M and not some high end shop or pharmacy. I tried and it definetly worked as it dried out my pimples and reduced my redness. Today however I coudlnt find it and it turns out my mom had thrown it in the trash because she claims it "burns my face" when all it did was good things. Im so mad and frustrated at her, what should I do?

She said that she is even encouraging my little sister to cheat on her husband which I think is very wrong. This also lets me know that she's probably been unfaithful to my dad all of these years because they've had some really rough times. Is it better left unsaid or does he have a right to know?

My dad has been beating my Mum up before I was even born. He hit her head against a metal rod when I was 1. He hits her for the things that he does wrong. Its just traumatic and sad because I love my Mother so much and she goes through all this.He hits her on her birthdays and even on christmas its horrible. sometimes he says stuff like i ve had girls that look better than you I mean he is just cruel and he clearly doesnt love my mother at all. This other time he hit her because she caught him looking and watcging porn. None if this is her fault and my sister and I are just over it. We love out Mother so much and can t watch her go through this again . I have listed a few things he s done.,the things i ve listed dont even take out a fraction of all the he s done. I m 16 and my lil sis is 10 we are just tirex of his behavior I mean he s not such a good father either.

I'm 17, haven't seen my mom for several months. My dad is in jail, I'm staying with my boyfriend and his parents. My dad gets out soon, but I still haven't seen him in several months anyway... My boyfriend is saying he wants a baby.... he says his parents will help and it will probably bring my parents to their senses and it will help me with my depression. I do honestly think they would get it together if I did have a baby, maybe open their eyes. And I have always wanted a baby. Is this a good idea.

We have our usual sibling quarrels and fights, but I usually walk away. But today as I was walking away he grabbed a wire out of the wall and raised it at me and said "do it again I dare you little *****" "I'll ******* kill you"...... Our fights dont usually get this violent so it scared me.... I am the older sister and hes the younger brother but he is almost a foot taller than me. Everyone is asleep and I'm scared to wake anyone up. What should I do?

I love my mom. I love my dad. I visit my dad every summer and winter and I live with my mom during the school year. I don't like my moms husband. He shows favoritism towards his real children. My family in Mississippi is much happier so I'm much happier there. I mentioned moving with my dad once to my mom and she cried and made me feel bad. I wanna bring it up again but I feel bad so idk how to talk about it. (I'm 14)

I have two sister in laws and a mother in law who are absolute twats. *My mother in law is VERY stupid and only has an 8th grade education (she's an illegal from Mexico) *One sister in law is obese and likes to boss EVERYBODY around. *The other Sister in law was adopted from birth from a group of my wife's dysfunctional cousins, has an inbred son with her biological brother (because she went back to visit. Apparently it was rape but Im starting to doubt that.), and was recently involved in prostitution in the bay area. This one has a ROTTEN attitude. Tonight I let them watch my kids at my house while I went to visit my wife (she got herself in a situation and it was this one's fault!) Anyhow, I come back and I get nothing but crap from her about how my house was dirty and some other BS that she thought she knew more than me about and then I told her to get out of my house. She then stuck her nose in the air and was like "no!" My mother in law then said that "that's just how she is" but also proceeded to tell me that it was my fault that my wife is in the situation she's in because I chose to go to work instead of help her at home on a particular day. This is all ridiculous crap. What should I do about these people?

Didnt make the right choices when it came to college so I work a job that barely supports myself but hey I feel happy anyway with where I am. Just found out mom is gonna divorce my dad. My father is a narcissist which makes him a hard person to be around, first chance I got I moved far away from home cause the guy is beyond toxic always has to feel superior to you and kicks everyone else around him down. My mother is a mexican woman with no education and can barely speak English and has 4 kids other than myself who are under 18 the youngest being 3. My mom finally got fed up with being treated like human garbage and will be divorcing. Only thing is theres no way she will survive on her own with 4 kids she relies too much on my dad for everything. Shes asking me to help and take everyone in but i barely make enough money for myself and i have a 1 bedroom apartment. I honestly dont know what to do right now I guess I shoulda taken college more seriously so that I had a better income..

Hello i want to know how to get along better with my mother. ok so you may have seen my other posts but i have developmental delays and i am in 11th grade. my mother does not take me seriously AT ALL. my mother constantly argues with me about stuff, my mother constantly interrupts me and answers for me. my mother does not trust me to do anything by myself. my mother is way too overprotective of me and does not let me have any freedom even though i am a young adult. i tell my mom to give me some space but all she does is argue CONSTANTLY with me and i cannot take another minute of it. we are seeing a therapist but it isnt helping as much as i want it to. i am homeschooled and my mother always tries to help me with EVERYTHING even though i have a tutor. my mother has good intentions but cannot stop helping me and doing things for me. my mother argues constantly with me about stupid stuff. if i mention that i am going to make myself a snack my mom will insist that she make it for me to save me the trouble. she will argue with me till i finally give in. I WANT MY MOTHER TO SHUT THE HELL UP FOR GOD'S SAKE! most people say i am the most mellow guy they've ever seen but i cannot take my mother any longer. my dream is to run away to new zealand and live on the beach. my mom cries every time i say im gonna run away. how do we speed up us getting better and help my mom take me seriously? i am so freakin sick of her to the point where i don't want to live anymore. i am so confused... there is such a thing as being OVER helpful. no matter what im doing like if im trying to clean my desk or room, my mother will immediately start arguing and insist that she do it so i do not get tired. I have a heart condition and my mother is WAY TOO FREAKIN PROTECTIVE! my mother does not let me eat fast food because she is afraid i will get a heart attack. I JUST WANT TO GO TO FREAKIN SUBWAY WITH MY FREAKIN FRIENDS! My mother makes me wear a sweater or jacket to go outside because shes afraid i will catch cold. I'm 18 years old im not a baby. My mother argues with me and is way too freaking over protective. My mom does not let me do things i wanna do like learn how to make chicken for dinner or go somewhere by myself or stay home alone. my mother is very afraid for me and homeschooled me because she was afraid public school would be too scary for me. I want to go to public school but my mother fears for me. I tell my mother not to help because she's making me hate her but she does not take me seriously. I tell my mom i dont love her but she just cries and tries to help even more. my dream is to move out but i do not know how to do that. i cant drive and i dont work so who will pay for all my medication and how will i get groceries. my mom does not know how to shut up or when to stop talking. All i want is for my mother to shut her trap and let me be more independent. I want to run away so bad

I'm a 16 year old girl and my parents are so strict and basically CONTROL MY LIFE and its just getting worse and I can't deal with it. I'll explain why: 1. They put this app on my phone that restricts my phone use to 1 hour a day. I get that for a 12 year old but I am 16 years old and my mum said I will have it on my phone next year too when I am 17 YEARS OLD! WTF tell me if it's just me or if that is messed up 2. I'm NEVER allowed to parties. Sure some of the parties have alcohol at them and thats one of the reasons I'm not allowed, but I know better than to get drunk. And if I did get drunk? I would learn from it. Every teenager goes through that! 3. MY MUM IS SO STRICT ON M GRADES. all last year she yelled at me saying I was "getting dumber each year" and compared me to my best friend saying she was so much better than me. However my grades are actually really good! Last year I finished 5th overall in my year academically. yet I still get so much **** and put under so much pressure to be smarter 4. they physically hurt me. Like if I haven't done something they've asked I'll get screamed at and hit or kicked 5. And finally there's the verbal abuse. I keep a list/a diary of all the things they've said to me. My mum has called me a slut, a dumb *****, a waste of space, waste of a life. Constantly now, I feel sad. I feel worthless and like my life has zero point. What can I do? Pls tell me if this is normal parenting thanks so much Got some more examples, couldn't fit it above. so my "bedtime" is 10pm (I'm 16 and have a bedtime yep) and anyway if I'm in bed later than 10 I lose my phone and can't leave the house the next day. The other night I'd been doing homework and I got into bed at legit 10.08 and the next day I was grounded! For staying up 8 minutes later to do homework!!! I just can't win. do you think I should try and sneak out and go to a party? Should i rebel? or just keep dealing with it? idk if i can :(((

My sister turned 21 last month on the 10th, she gets payed $13 an hr and work only 32 hours. She has the opportunity to get paid $25 an hr at an easy *** job where you could literally do whatever you want like texting, playing games, netflix, and even leaving when she done filling some little *** paperwork. But she says she loves her $13 hr job because shes helping adults with special needs. Everytime I tell her to take the job, we get in an argument and she tells me to mind my own businesses. The only reason I keep telling her is because her life rn is just paying bills and she has no money saved and will never be able to really save up any money. Should I just let her live her life?

I'm 16 and honestly I'm really tired of my parents they're so overprotective and strict it's really getting in the way of my life. I'm alredy a really introverted person and have trouble making friends so I rarely leave the house but whenever I do want to there's always a fight and I almost never end up getting my way. Just a few days ago I wanted to go to a movie with 2 of my friends I asked my parents and told me they could drive me and stay in the mall if they wanted and just wait until the movie was over BUT NO, they literally won't let me go unless the can come to the movie WITH ME LIKE GO INSIDE. We ended up fighting and I ended up not be allowed to go at all.its ridiculous honestly, and it isn't the first time I'm not allowed to go to parties, the mall, or even hang out at a friends house, it's so ******* stupid I mean i don't know what i did for them to treat me like this they don't trust me in the smaller way and it's so unfair. And theyr like this with every aspect of my life they wanna control everything I do from what I eat to what I watch to what I'm gonna study in university I'm never allowed to do what I want. Honestly my relationship with them is really bad I barely talk to them these days because honestly anything I say is always taken against me and we always end up fighting, even if I tell a small joke they will somehow find a problem with it.

I'm 28 years old and I still live at hole because I can't afford to move out right now. I was hungry and didn't have any money to buy food so I ate some of their food. They then got upset and yelled at me. Why?

I don't even know how to word this properly, but I moved to another state and planned to stay for about a year, maybe more, but I will return home next year. I just needed a change of scenery to work on some personal issues in a more positive environment. My mom can be very negative and controlling even though she means well. I'm concerned that when I come back....I feel I'll be in the same place with her emotionally. She's going to try to control what I do again and force her negativity on me. I won't be living with her. I'm hoping to get a place of my mom rather quickly once I come back and I know that I'm an adult and she shouldn't have that hold over, but this is how she's been my whole life. I want to set boundaries, but I know she'll be offended...Only those with controlling mothers will understand me. :( I just don't want to be in her negative space anymore. It really sucks to say this, but since I've been here I haven't missed her. I love my mom very much, but I feel better being away from her. I'm going home for lots of reasons, but I just don't want to fall back into the same stuff and especially with my mom. Also, not sure if this matters, but my dad really is not in my life. I have plenty of other family and friends at home. Place of my own** My mom was one of those mother's that believes I owe her my life for her giving birth to me and putting a roof over my head...

All they do is make noise yell and it's driving me insane. I am a 26 year old and I had to move back in with my mom to save money. I was living in LA.

It's not like we have money issues, because my dad just bought a new house so it's not like we can't afford to go places. I'm 17 and my family is immensely boring. Monday-Friday I just stay at home and do my homework. Then comes the weekend and my dad just wants me to continue doing my homework and practice for the SAT, even on Saturday. I would like to have some fun after studying so much during the weekday, you know? But my family, mostly my dad, never even wants to leave the city. All the other people in my grade have families that actually go out together, but my dad just keeps me enclosed at home. I can't drive either, because my dad won't let me until the summer comes.

I'm 24. Never been kissed, never had sex, never had a boyfriend or been attracted to a boy. The only people I was attracted to were women old enough to be my mom. My dad was never in my life much. My dad had sex with my mom even if he was still married to his wife and had 3 kids. I lived just 1 stoplight away from him. Never visited me. Never called me. Eight birthdays without him. I never met him until I was 8. He didn't want to pay for child support, even though he's a surgeon. My mom sued him to pay child support. And when I did meet him, it was a DNA testing clinic because he denied he was my father. And when I did see him after that, it was only on my birthday. My mom sued him for child support because he didn't want to give any money, even if he's a surgeon. And the only time I saw him. he never asked anything about me. The only thing he talked about was his current girlfriend and youngest daughter with her.

So two separate stories. First, I have regularly been going to a local park to play basketball for 4 years. I am very good and the kids love me for my skills. This, one particular kid is now a teenage, about 15, and has gotten very good. I think he even plays for HS. Well, now he is initiating interaction with me. I can grab the hoop rim, and he tells me I can not jump. Ok. Some other day, I bring Winn Dixie bags to the park, and he tries to convince me that they was no Winn Dixie, that I was not at Winn Dixie, even though I just came from there. Then there is the other instance when he tried to convince me that someone was stealing away my ball, again, even though my ball was in my possession. Finally, the last instance that got me irritated was when he took my ball to get a reaction out of me, maybe. Up until that point, I have been nice and respectful, but I busted in anger and him to leave me alone or I will fight him. It is like he was trying to implant ideas into my head, like mess with my reality. But I don t know. What do you guys think?

Well at least I think. I once saw a text notification on her iPad it was a love one. Whenever I catch a glimpse at her messages I see the words sweetie and honey. Also whenever she s texting her "boyfriend" and I look at her phone she quickly turns her phone off and says it s no one. I don t want a stepdad because I don t want him to hate me or barely get any attention and get ignored or for something bad to happen. Btw my biological parents are divorced and idk why but I m f13.

Alright Im 16, and I've been wanting to get a job for a long time, and I finally found a position at a restaurant, and then I was excited till I realized that my parents are gonna force me to go on vacation for 3 weeks. I keep telling them how much I hate going away for three weeks, especially since where we're going is so boring. They keep insisiting that I have to go. I even told them I'd rather work and they keep telling me spending time with them as much as possible is more important since it makes the vacation more fun for them. Its kinda annoying, especially since I hate going on vacation with them as they are always yelling and arguing and its just not happy. Is there ANY way I can convince them to stay while they go on vacation? My brother is 22 and he can take care of me while they're gone

I'm gonna be honest I really hesitate to ask this question cause I know there are so many worse situations people are in but I just... I guess I need to vent and I need some advice if possible. I'm a year older than my brother. We were best friends up until I was 5, then things became different. For 13 years he has been almost nothing but cruel to me. I always feel like whatever I do I'm gonna set him off somehow and that somehow I'll end up paying for it and my mom will do exactly nothing. He yells at me, cusses at me, gives me ****, just makes my life a living hell. I'll never forget when we used to go to school together and made fun of me around all his friends, getting them to call me rude names that made fun of my disability. He's been diagnosed with a crapton of mental disorders including autism and I'm not mad at him for what he does because I know that he can't control it, but it really hurts me and it's really unhealthy. And then my mom does nothing about it which only encourages him to keep doing these things that just kill me inside. Sorry for the rant. I would appreciate any advice.

I found some weed in my sons room so i told him " you will be taking weekly drug tests,you are not allowed to use any electronics,you are no longer allowed to hang out with your friends,i will be checking with the school to see if you are actually using lunch money to buy lunch,and you are not allowed to participate in sports until i say you can " when my son heard this he tried to attack me. My wife said yhat i am being way to much of a hard @ss. I said ," well i fight everyday to get gangs off the streets and here my son is financially supporting them. Weed is their bread and butter and he attacked me.
