I don't even know where to begin. I'm very insecure about my wide big nose since I was 16 years old. People always making fun of me everywhere I go even my own mom. An example I moved to different country and I've lose contacts with my parents and when I finally found them. And I haven't talk or see her in 11 years but when I FaceTime called her the first she said was... damn!!! You look so ugly and your nose getting so big. And I told her she hurting my feeling then she asked me if I can send her some money. And always asking me to send her money. Sometime I just want to kill myself when she say stuff like that to me and Ive been telling her to stop. Now I'm thinking about the money I was gonna send her and I'm gonna use that money to fix my nose. But my dad thinks nothing wrong with my nose. Any advice? Thanks y'all.

My big sister died unexpectedly nearly two years ago. I still have another sister who lives out of state. I am the only son. I am 38 and not married. My big sister and I were seemingly close and had lots in common. Now I feel so alone. My other sister's adult son is becoming a family man now so he and I will never be as close as we used to be anymore. My parents don't really need me anymore either. The sister who died used to depend on me to come to her house to do repairs for her. Now that she's gone I don't know what to do with myself. I just keep remembering old times and living in the past. I want things back the way they used to be. But I know that's impossible. I feel like a part of my soul died with her. All of the things she and I had in common(music, theatre, and musical theatre) I don't have with anyone else. And I don't think I ever will. Sometimes I think I would just like to join her. That no one will miss me anyway. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I don't know where I belong.

I'm a "grazer" I guess is what my doctor calls it. Meaning I never really sit down for a meal through out the day unless it's dinner. I just snack here and there. Well my 1 year old has always eaten his breakfast lunch and dinner plus snacks until recently. He isn't taking much interest in his meals anymore unless I'm eating too. Im trying to change my habits but I'm having a rough time I've always eaten like this ever since I was little. My question is are there any tricks to getting your baby to eat all of his meals? Or am I just going to have to eat with him for now on.

Me and my sister have a 5/6 year gap and Im 14 whereas shes 19 (an young adult) Ever since we was young we would always get in petty argument which would get into fights and I would always get the blame even when I was little as 6 because my parents know what my sister is like and she would start a fit if they took my side. I think its alittle unfair that I have to be put this pressure from start to mature up faster then my sister. I even learnt to cook dinner for my family, clean and do household chores where as she would only participate if she saw that I was only getting praises and not her. I just think shes really immature for her age like she can make insults about others where as if I tried she would lash out and thats when it gets messy. Bare in mind, Even though I m having a rant about my sister, shes not all bad, when we finally get along (sometimes) we have bare jokes that we laugh till our belly aches and she looks out for me. In general shes a really caring person, donating to charity and helping people in need. It s just these traits of her that dont add up. So basically today, me and my sister was having jokes and she got offened over a minor joke that insulted her love life which bare in mind she insulted my looks and I just laughed it off, things escalated and I was in the wrong to for engaging. We ended up in a vicious fight which I m still sore from but she left me no scars and however I left her a bloody face scar.

My mom and stepdad asked me to drive them to Delaware (we live in VA and it s my first car so never been out of state) so we could go to a casino. I said maybe, since I wasn t totally sure if I wanted to. My mom gets mad and says to him we ll just take a bus, I don t know what s up with her. I drive them everywhere nearly every day plus on weekends. Yes they do give me gas money but I like a break every now and then. We all live together cause my job doesn t pay enough for me to get my own place. I lease with her so I help pay bills while my stepdad is on unemployment and owes us money. So we get home, and she lectures me about how they re the parents and they help me with gas and rent. Which I think they obviously should rent wise. She said it would be a nice road trip and to test out my car and all that. Sure new experiences are great but Delaware to gamble wasn t all appealing to me. She continued on to say since they help I should think that its the least I could do even though I pay my own bills and also help with rent. I just felt like she was pushing me to do this trip and it made me feel like I owed that to them. I feel like I was guilt tripped. I also have a cat and I said I didn t wanna leave her alone too long. She says I shouldn t stop living life cause of her but when I sleepover with my bf its always a problem.

My wife works but she doesn't make any money at her job. It's a long story but she basically invested a lot of money out of her 401k for my daughter's college. There are four of us now that my daughter is gone. Now the wife depends on me to fund her food. I spent about $60 a week on groceries for the household and then I give her $40. I told if she spends most of the money on seasoning that's on her, food is more important than seasoning. She said that if she doesn't have seasoning she can't even cook the food. The thing is that she runs out most of her seasoning every month or so. She's constantly buying things like garlic powder, paprika, black pepper. She also loves to buy lots of fresh fruit and vegetables which are expensive. I save money buy just buying one bag of bananas per week and calling it a day. but my wife is different, she has to have a huge variety of pineapples, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, mangos, oranges and she likes to get those bolthouse green smoothie drinks which are insanely expensive, cilantro, lemons, limes ( also expensive), she buys expensive jasmine rice because she claims the taste is different, chicken breasts ( again, expensive they are $8 a pound at our local grocery). When she is finished she ends up spending at least $150. I told her she is going to have to find a way to start paying me back because I cannot afford this every week.

Just answer the question...

I was an only child. I never did any chores or got allowance. I was allowed to just rest or sit down while other people took care of things. Now as an adult, I am struggling so much in my career that I worked hard to get an education for. Is this due to my childhood or just not the right job for me. Thanks!

I am 13. I have a sister who is 20 and another who is 22. I always complain about our big age gap and wish my parents had me closer to them. In my book, the bigger the age gap in between siblings, the less close they are, the more likely they are to develop depression. My sisters are in college and it's hard to find them. I always look this up, but when people are sad about their siblings in college, they are only like 2 years apart and probably have a twin/younger one to come home to. Try having oldest sis gone at 3rd grade and both gone at 5th grade. I don't want them to move out, because it is unfair if they move out before I am 18. My oldest wants to go to med school, my other sis doesn't know. But my middle sis is going to be gone for 4 weeks in June and other one, I hope she comes home for the month of June to make up for the other one being gone, but she is married. In fact, I might actually feel depressed. What should I do? not a single positive about being far apart in age (except I don't consider my middle sis that far apart from me).

Ive been sitting in the living room listening to some quiet piano music as it helps me study when shes been out with her friends. Then the moment she comes home she decides to sit in the living room and makes me turn off the piano music because she also wants to do homework. I was there before her? and the music isn t even distracting? She turned off the tv and I know there is no use to fight with her because shes an entiteled ***** that only thinks about her self. I want to leave the living room but at the same time stand my ground? what should I do? also she is not the type to have a calm conversation with. i ended up leaving cause i couldnt hold back the tears lol

My mom keeps threatening to leave the house and leave me with my "father figure" (who doesn't even have custody of me) and I'm genuinely terrified of him especially when he's drunk (he's very verbally abusive when drunk and has come close to physical), but she just doesn't care. She's been threatening this for a while now and she comes in from work screaming at me and blaming me for things everyday. No matter what she does she'll be screaming about something all the time. She was just cleaning the house and kept calling me a "lazy b****" but I was in my room cleaning out all of her stuff she throws in here saying it's my problem now. (This is what provoked me to ask for advice here) I can't take much more of it and I'm at a loss. I'm currently 16 and I've never been more afraid to leave my room or do anything because almost everything I do is wrong and she'll just scream more and more. I'm terrified of loud noises now because of it. I almost broke down in the middle of class because my geometry teacher screamed at another student. It's like she completely messed me up mentally or emotionaly? I'm hoping you can give some type of advice. Anything is appreciated.

I am a girl who is studying abroad in Spain. I will be back on May 10. My brother is 12 and I am almost 20. He has a 21 year old sister who is in Louisiana with her husband waiting for him to get out of the army. She will be spending a year in Louisiana after she graduates college in May. I got an internship for a summer job in Washington that will be from May 27 to July 5. His summer break is June 1 to August 14. He can't stand me or his other sister to be away. His other sister will not be here for the summer, unless the medical school staff make her go right away without a year off, which he hopes they will. He has said he hates life. He has mild autism. His personality went from being comedic and sensitive to not talking at all (at least at school, he is not socializing at all) because he is jealous due to most kids at his school having siblings that are close in age to them. He always tells me he feels sick and he feels like he is going to have a seizure. I can never use Facetime (WhatsApp) with him without him getting into a fight about this, or breaking down into tears. What can I do with him? Good answers only.

I'm 18 and she won't let me shower every day. My sisters don't shower daily either. I won't be allowed to shower tomorrow because I'm showering today. My sisters have off school tomorrow and I won't be able to sneak one. I can't move out because I'm still looking for a job and i don't have my license yet. I sweat easily and I think i should be allowed. What do I do ?

My sister is mad at MTV because they put her favorite show 16 And Pregnant on Mondays she goes to art class on Mondays. It's only on Mondays or Tuesday mornings early like around 4am or 5 am. She has art class tomorrow even though it's a holiday they're always open our parents will be home tomorrow it's not that she's not allowed to watch it but our mom isn't comfortable with her watching it. She's an adult though she can watch whatever she wants but she doesn't know if mom would like having it on the DVR. She's said it's not fair tv has to do that to her. I agree with my mom though I don't get why she watches it either or why anyone does. She wishes she hadn't picked Mondays to go. How can I help her feel better ? She wants to know can she sue MTV for this ?

I caught my stepmom in a lie with someone, and I corrected her, by letting her know that my mom is alive and well. What's with stepfamilies and these sorts of nasty lies?

I have a cousin who was very skinny when he was in the 20s. Now he is like 39 and married for 7 years. He is like FAT now and has a freak##$ round face. I've heard being FAT is caused by stress.

I don't want to impose on people and most cousins have only met me at funerals. My Mom had issues and was distant from her family because of them so we never did holidays or celebrations. She has now died and I am back in the area (Pittsburgh). I am 37 and most cousins in their 20's. How do I build relationships with extended family now that I am back in the area

She lost her temper because we were having an argument about her attitude that has sucked since last year, she denies it of course and instead accuses me of a bad attitude. She starts calling me names and threats, then she gets in my face and when I yell back at her she slaps me and hits me. It was so hard to hold back the urge to ******* beat her *** but I held back because she is my "mother", so I never touched her. Should I have? Because I'm starting to regret not having done anything. It's been 3 hours since then and I just feel like taking revenge. I'm tired of her shitty attitude and her shitty treatment of me when all I've done is respect her and try to please her, but she believes she has the right to do what she did I don't fuc king understand it. Other kids/ adults cuss at their parents and hit them. I've never done either, I try to be useful to my family, yet I was chosen to have the worst excuse of a damn family. Why couldn't a more violent kid have taken my place? then maybe my "mother" wouldn't treat me this way And I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I don't drink. I clean the house, I work, I briefly went to school until I got a loan so I'm paying that off. But she treats me worse than the average american parent whose kids smoke weed and get jailtime. I don't ******* get it

The mom is fully black (non latino) and the father is half black and half metizo (latino). Would the child be considered Hispanic, mixed, or just black

i was on my computer at home and she told me to get off for dinner so i did and after dinner i came back to my room and saw she was on it looking at my messages so i screamed at her to get off and she doesn't have right to do that and she said she can do what she wants because she's like my parent for the weekend and i told her to STOP!!!!! and she grabbed the computer and threw it on the floor and smashed and cracked it and i started crying and she slapped me and hit me and smashed me

I got a car and $5k.

i'm bisexual and i try to find a bf or gf everywhere at school i develop crushes and they always end up hating me, i try to find an online bf or gf and they always hate me too. i'm beginning to just give up. i'm crying while writing this. things never work out for me

They don't get along with my Mom so I am left out of family events cause they don't want her there. All my other cousins get to go. It really hurts as no one wanted to be my friend in school so I know the pain of being unlovable. I reach out and they give vague excuses. Even the weddings of my older cousins we are the only three (my Mom, sister, and I) not invited.
