Okay I'm 21 years old, female. I know I'm an adult but I've always been a good girl & listening to both of my parents. But these passed few years I haven't been happily at home. Long story short we've been staying with my brother for like a month or 2 & since we've moved in I've been around my sister in law & all since she is closer to my age & we can talk about many things. I feel better & comforable like I can tell her anything I just wish it was the same with my mom. Well my mom didn't like how I'm always with my sister in law just cause she smokes & yes I smoke. She says once we leave that me hanging with my sister in law & my brother are over. I haven't spent much time with my brother like this since I was born. & also tries to control my relationship with my boyfriend saying that I can't stay over with him & she said a couple isn't supposed to be seeing each other every weekend?? Is that so? And if I tell her something she said she would either kick me out of the house or completely stop talking to her and make me go live with my brother or my boyfriend so if anyone has any advice to give me or if I should just go ahead and just tell her something please let me know thank you

Cause she makes my life miserable and controls my money like I'm some damn kid

I'm 15, my dad and mom got divorced when I was around 1, My dad got remarried a few years later to my current step-mom, she has a daughter about a year younger than me. Recently, I feel that my step-mom and step-sister have began resenting me. I do not get the best grades and because of that, my step mom insults me, calls me lazy and ungrateful. My step sister hates me because her mom and I get into fights a lot she blames me and claims I am the problem and I shouldn't be here, when I tell her I don't think its really her business she tells me off and calls me a *****, she has also hit me and pushed me once. I've told my dad about the situation and he is well aware of it, but he doesn't seem to know what to do about it, he said his only options is "for him to leave her" or for me to move in with my mom.. but I do not want to move in with my mom, she is an alcoholic and doesn't have the best financial status at the moment and I don't think she'd be able to support me as well. I admit I've made mistakes and I'm not the best person.. maybe I am lazy? But I don't know what to do anymore, when they treat me like this I feel like a burden or I should go die, What should I do? Why does my step mom hate me?

So I came to New York to be with my grandma. I have been here since late November and haven't gone back to Atlanta ever since. But the thing is , I have most of my things in my room where I live in Georgia. I'm 21 and it seems dumb to be complaining about where I should be and whatever. But the thing is my mom who lives in the same house as me . She is saying that she wants to clean the carpet in my room and move stuff around. In some way I don't mind but at the same time I feel like she takes advantage of the fact that I'm away and she can touch the stuff in my room . I have been in New York applying to jobs and see if I can get a job but nothing has come up. If I do go back to Georgia, I was planning to just leave in a Uber and get to the airport without telling my relatives. In some way I am going to say bye to my grandma and who I see as I leave but I won't tell my mom that I'm going back. Because honestly my mom in a car for 1 hour with her is going to be a long drive and all the pep talk as well of how stupid I am and I don't know how to make the right choices. I honestly stayed for my grandma cause usually she can't get around and she can't drive. Yes she has my aunts that are able to do that but they don't have a lot of time because of their job. My mom tends to do things with my stuff also , so in a way I worry about things that I have in my room which is dumb since it's material and that can be replaced but I left my room like I am going back to live there.

My sister says I should hate my dad since he may have raped me when I was a baby. However, he was found innocent. I don t care either way, as it happened 18 years ago, and it doesn t change who he is now. My sister says that I m mentally ill due to this thinking.

Recently, my grandma was admitted to the hospital from her nursing home because all she does is sleep and doesn't eat all. Everyone thinks she is in a coma or something. I live in a completely different state so I don't know much details...I just know that all she does is sleep and they want to force feed her. She's 83😢.

They are mentally abusive and i was physically abused with I lived with them. I have no proof because I was terrified when it happened, but I do have textual evidence where another family member admitted to the abuse and said that I deserved it. They have completely cut ties with my only living family member, which is my sister. I need help.

I am the mother of a 16 month old daughter. Her father was not around during my pregnancy or during and after her birth up until she was 8 months old. He decided to come around eventually and has been ordered temporary supervised visits. We were hoping to escalate to unsupervised after my daughter was comfortable with him. The problem is, the supervised visitations had been awful. He has no parenting skills and is unwilling to learn. He will not change our daughters diaper if she poops. She has a scar on her nose because he forgot to strap her into her stroller while I was in the store and she flew out. He insinuated that she could ride in a car without a car seat. He allowed her to eat mulch at the park and told me that I was not allowed to comfort her when she gets hurt because it's "not good for her attitude." There are too many things to list, but these are my concerns. He has not shown that he can care for her properly. He does have a traumatic brain injury which I believe may be the reason for his behavior. I want to know what steps I can take to protect my daughter under these circumstances. I want him to have a great relationship with our daughter but she is getting injured in his care, and he is contributing to it. I do want to add that our original order states he could begin *overnight visits* this month, but he lives with four men (he will not release their names to me) and has no safe place for our daughter to spend the night. Any advice?

My cousin (my grandmas nephew) is really creative he always weird but he dresses flamboyant and we love it. He doesn't care what others think and his girlfriend dresses flamboyantly too but my aunt (not my cousins mom) was talking trash saying the way she dresses is revealing she wears a lot of tight cloths shoes midriff for lack of a better term sexy but my cousin helps her with her clothes as she does with him maybe they're superficial but is it right to judge a woman by what she wears cause they're great people

I'm an adult in my mid twenties my sibling is 35 , they want to know everything I'm doing from work to studying everything. It's really annoying as they continually make poor decisions and want to advice me , how do I deal with this I know their intention is good but it's over bearing

I'm 15 and my parents go away this weekend what are some tips for convincing them to let me throw a house party while they are gone

My daughter, against her dad and my advice has been in and out of bad relationships since she was 17. When she was 17 she became pregnant by a troubled young man that got her started on drugs. She was very pretty, smart, popular.. That young man, as we warned, did not stay in the picture. She then gets involved with another guy, in which she got strung out on meth with. They started smoking drugs around my 3 year old grandchild together and eventually, we had to take custody of the child, because someone reported her to the state. My daughter and this guy eventually got arrested for stealing. They broke up, he goes to prison for robbery, they go their separate ways, she gets married to another guy, who wasn't bad, but he divorces her shortly after their child is born. During that marriage she sues us and gets her first child back. 2 years later, after he gets out of prison she gets back with the guy that she smoked drugs with around the grandchild we had custody of. I was contacted by the man that divorced her, asking me to help him get custody of his child. I've been talking to his mom. My daughter's life is a train wreck. She is pregnant again, taking pain meds for what she says is a bad back.Her and this guy fight constantly.. She has now blocked me on her phone, upset, because I don't agree with how she's living. I'm now feeling guilty. Should I feel guilty? Should I help her ex husband get custody of his child?

im known as the troubled child in my family, and my mom always complains about me and brings up stuff from when i was 9 bc i was really troubled around that age. My dad complains about me too, saying that i cant do anything, and even tells this to his family. My family is the worst, they always bring up stuff from when i was little and always tell my dad i cant do basic household chores like cleaning dishes, even though i offered them to but they said no. I always feel like i have to be perfect. My family literally hates me and they know im ******* depressed bc of them and always seen as an embarassment. My own mom even told me im an embarassment. I dont know what to do to make them happy even when im trying my hardest they always find a way to complain and talk **** about me. Plus my parents are divorced that could also be another reason why they love to talk ****. They dont even know the struggles ive been through so they shouldnt be talking **** anyways especially when they live in a third world country.

I'm 23 years old and I currently live at home with my 15 year old sister, 12 year old brother and almost 50 year old father. My mother passed away about a month ago from cancer at 56 years old. Essentially, my father is extremely aggressive toward my younger brother, whom he blames for everything, including the fact that my mom and dad hated each other for the last few years my mom was alive. He berates him and calls him worthless, tells him he's a piece of s***, calls him "jackass" and "princess" and gets in my face and screams at me. My brother and sister hate him and want nothing to do with him, but other than how he treats my brother and (occasionally) my sister, they live in a nice house, they have plenty of food, and are well cared for physically speaking. Is there ANY chance I could convince a Florida judge to give me custody of them?

Long story short I have been apart of the family for roughly 6 years. I married the older brother, my sister in law is married to the younger brother. I hardly feel like I have a relationship with my Sister in Law. I know it's a 2 way street but I've tried to connect with her on many occasions & it doesn't seem to work. Here are a few examples: She's NEVER really asked me to hang out. The one time she did ask me to go shopping, she never followed through with me on it. Before I married, I asked her to be a brides maid in my wedding several times but lied & expressed to our mom in law that I didn't. She acts very awkward & pretty quiet around me most of the time. She doesn't really greet me or say hello unless I do. The main thing right now is I feel like she's trying to compete with me. I'm pretty big on Fitness and nutrition & she suddenly started doing the same a few months ago. She brags & flaunts her success all over social media. We have a few friends who are also into fitness- she will support them in any way possible but I get none from her what's so ever. When I try to support her she ignores me. I can't figure out what it is that she does not like? I'm always kind and civil to her. I've never done anything to her. Does this sound like Jealously?

Let's say there's a family who has kids One teen whos 14 with brain damage who can barely talk and uses a wheelchair cause they can't walk, two younger kids ages 8-10 and two other teens 14-16. What places can they go to and what activities outside of the home can they do to spend time together as a family.

I am 35 years old, I live with my husband and our 2 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment. In my apartment building, on my floor, this woman who's in her 20s, still lives at home with her mom and she's always home, 24/7, meanwhile her mom works, and the daughter is non stop at home. I heard her mom say that her daughter pays half of the rent to her mother and she pays for her own food, but how come she's always at home? My husband stays at home while I work and I am worried he cheats with her. But she never, I mean barely goes out? How can she live like that?? What is wrong with her? Can you help me figure it out?? I can hear her mom talking about online school courses but isn't she embarrassed that her mom goes to work and she doesn't?

whenever i get sad my parents/siblings/grandmother will all approach me and try to ask me what's wrong and tell me that i can tell them anything, but for some reason i don't feel comfortable talking about my emotions with them. i'd feel a lot more comfortable if i spoke with someone who i didn't know or barely know. why is this?

Okay, I'm not sure if it has to deal with being married , or someone being a "know it all" , or if I'm over exaggerating: but I'm recently soon to be hired on by 2 different people but I like to be keep my mouth shut around my mother in law (Benz she can be a loudmouth and a know it all ) , but when I'm around my wife when she's with her mother , it's like I have no voice ; and my wife likes to be the center of attention with knowledge she knows : so how do I keep from having my wife and mother in law from knowing everything that's going on with me (job wise )? Should I keep quiet about a lot of job prospects ?

On school nights my parents dont let me stay on my computer past 9:30 and it is very very very annoying because I am known in my friend group as the kid with a bedtime which sucks. I have all good grades in school and I would say that I am a decent kid. is this normal

I am an unemployed 21 male and my parents refuse to take me to the doctor. I think I have low testosterone because I am irritable, I could barely do 15 push-ups, foggy head, I look like I'm 14, depressed, mood swings. My parents are in denial. I can't turn myself because I don't have money and insurance covers it. Also Mom's home all the time and now have a means of transportation. Although I look at a lot pornography and do not exercise.Please help If I go out my parents will get suspicious and now we're getting to conflict with them and I don't want conflict (physical fights with dad and mom crying) I tried asking them and that is what happened

My wife has this thing to where whenever she gets the sniffles she's like a big baby. Sunday she wasn't feeling well. Had a runny nose. We went to church, I drove. Got home and she lay on the sofa while I cooked all the food for Super Bowl. I fixed her plate and brought it to her. She then went into the bedroom while I washed all the dishes. But the minute I walked in the bedroom she makes the statement, "no one around here seems to care that I'm sick." What more could I have done for her or was she just acting like a little prima donna. I had a cold several weeks ago and I got up every day and went to work. I still cooked on my nights to cook. I didn't let it stop me. But the sniffles is enough to lay her out for 2 or 3 days. She hasn't been to work all week. Again, I'm the type to where when I'm sick I don't stop moving. I keep going. I never miss work because of a cold. I'll just take a roll of tissue with me to my desk and keep right on moving. I still go home and cook dinner for the house. And I do not expect anyone to wait on me.

I found out from my husbands best friend. Apparently they hooked up at a party in 1995. They went to school together. I lived in the next town over. We met that summer when we were both seniors. We started dating and then when we graduated in 1996 we got engaged and married in 1997. I never knew because neither of them ever told me. It was only through a goof up by my husbands best friend that I found out. I asked him and my husband didn't even try to deny it but he did apologize for keeping it from me.. We have been married 22 years now and we have 4 children and one grandchild on the way. I feel like I should be disgusted or angry or something. But I am not.

My sister has had a rough day she's really upset over it she can't sleep it's almost 2:30 in the morning she's been up for the past few hours crying. I asked her what's wrong she said she said she's really hurting right now I hugged her told her that I love her and I'm here for her. She said she's not sleeping alone she wants me to sleep with her. How else can I comfort her ? Is this wrong ?
