First of all i live in the ******* middle east so as a girl I'm not expected to work and have my own money until after graduating college now that's said my problem is that my parents won't get me a car which I desperately need! Where i live the public transportation system and the infrastructure is ****** up! Every single day I have to wake up 2 hours before class and walk a very long way to catch a bus only to not find a seat and end up standing up all the way to college that when i arrive to class i can no longer feel my legs and arms, aslo feeling tired right from the start of my day!! My mom says that I have to work after graduation and save some money then she can help me out to buy a car! But I can't imagine having to go through this for the next 5 years! I'm starting to hate going to college imagine alone going to work like this!

Ok this might be long but something happened we were going to give the dog a bath she had the dog on the leash it hurt my nephew because she was crabby she flipped and said it's not going to happen or whatever, didn't care about hurting my nephew he cried they all got crabby I was trying to tell her accidents happen she said f you, so I walked away and slammed my door hoping we could talk her and my brother can't stand slammed doors usually I don't plan on talking to her unless we can talk about this mature way I usually hide in my feelings but don't want to this time please help need advice without snapping or getting emotional m she has a hard time understanding that accidents happen I noticed.

My mom is 44, her boyfriend is 22. My mother also wants to move to South Carolina, we currently live in NJ. Her boyfriend is abusive, drinks and parties, cheated on my mom twice, went to a strip club and lied about it, abuses (verbally and sometimes physically) my mom, and he Barry contributes. Yeah he'll buy food here and there, give my mom maybe 300 dollars a month. That is nothing compared to the bills my mom has to pay. Her mortgage alone is 2000 dollars a month. On top of that there is electric, gas, cable, phone, which is a ******* lot! If I want to move, I want to restart over with MY family, and not start my life over again with the same toxic people. My mom doesn't see how he is using her. He doesn't have a car, his own house. Yeah he has a little job as an activities coordinator at a nursing home, but my mom deserves more. She doesn't deserve an a**hole. Why is my mom so fu*king blind and why can't she see all this crap that he does, and then she'll be like, "he does a lot for us. He tries!" He has potential. One thing everyone should know, is you never fall in love with potential. Why does my mom allow this, and how do I stop him from moving with us.

Hi, I'm 26 and I just feel trapped in my parents house because I always have to ask to be driven everywhere because I'm not allowed to get my own drivers license or go anywhere by myself and when I ask about this, they get annoyed at me and send me to my room. What do I do about this?

My mom is basically the stereotypical "tiger mom". I've never heard anything other than a criticism out of her mouth for the last couple months, and it is absolutely degrading. There are times where I have a bad day at school, and then I dread going home because i have to endure another 8 hours of yelling. I don't know what to do! I'm really grateful for all the things she has done for me, but her comments are bringing me to my breaking point.

I think I know the answer already, but here goes. My ex sister in law was known to "get around" even when she was married to my brother. My nephew and niece bought me one of these dna kits for Christmas. My nephew sent his in first and got his results. I just got my results and he wasn't even listed as a relative at all! I'm guessing my brother may not be his biological dad? My nephew is now 25 and I really don't want to tell anyone! Thanks!

I had this friend for 5 years throughout high school and some into college. We became best friends over the years and she became somewhat close with my family, especially my dad. Sometimes after we would go out to a party and come back and hangout with my dad, super harmless. Now all of sudden I get a call one day from them that they've been sleeping together for the past year. My best friend and my dad??! She just turned 21 a few months ago. I'm utterly betrayed and feel like I have the right to be. I recently moved away to a different state and so they are always together and my old "best friend" is basically living at my house with my dad now, going on trips together etc. I told them both that I wouldnt talk to them anymore if they continued their relationship. That it needs to stop, and that it's disgusting. They both disagreed and said they want to be together. It's been 3 months now and I have had them both blocked on my phone and they haven't tried to reach out of care for my feelings. All they said was sorry. After they've been lying and sneaking around my house for the past year. They said I should just be ok with it. I'm still just as angry as I was the day they told me and hurts more that they won't at the very least end their relationship because I don't like it. She was never my friend in the first place obviously. I'm struggling a lot with the fact that my dad doesn't care enough about my feelings to end things with her. am I being unfair?

My wife & I feel as though we've tried everything( or, try everything). We try listening, see what's bothering her, she doesn't open up. We try being strict, that doesn't work, we try being somewhere in the middle, nothing. Everyday is this fight of " you guys are so annoying. You guys are so mean. I hate it here." Her biggest issues are, unless really hawked and forced to, she won't do her homework. She'll get drunk on the weekends, and we've recently cut back on allowance & just giving her money in general because she was using the money to buy clothes we felt were just too skimpy. Is harsher the way to go? Or try again to get her to talk to us about something that might be bothering her?

Hey guys so i really like this girls but i heard from my friends that she slept with many guys. She is 18 and im 19. She told me that her body counts is 6. But my friends said it's more than that. I like her but im not reslly sure if i should get to know her. I dont want to have a gf that slept around my back and makes me feel disrespected . What should i do

Hello. I know it's been a long while since I last asked a question here. But honestly, I've been having a lot of trouble with my stepdad since a few years. He started being with my mom since I was 15. Now I'm 21. But here's the thing, we were never really that close since the beginning. He was friendly at first, but since last year. He's been losing his temper on my mom because of me taking his stuff without permission. Look I know you're going to say it's not right to do so. But look I didn't know okay. He's only like ****** 43 years old. In fact he's even younger than my mom who is soon to be 47 next month. Almost everyday, he's always threatening my mom. I tried convincing my mom to leave him for good, but she won't listen to me. I'm planning on moving soon, but I'm going through a lot of stuff like school and work. I mean he's usually nice at times and gives us food. But I usually eat a lot cause I'm a tall person, plus I have a love of food. But I'm too scared to eat all of it cause he'll start flipping out and ****. So what should I do?

So i don't remember how it sstarted but there was this man who was trying to kill me. I ran downstairs and had this girl cover for me in the bathroom while I called 911. As I was going back up, two drunk men came downstairs with guns and I couldn't tell if they were being serious or not because there were tons of other kids around. I don't remember details after that except for he got me. I tried to stall for time because he wanted to put the IV in my arm. It didn't last long and he ended up actually injecting the stuff that kills you into my arm. I called 911 again and they arrived. I was standing out there and they took my home I guess. When I got home, my dad was just not giving any shits anymore. He seemed to have become abusive or how alcoholics behave. (I want to point out that in real life my dad is amazing. He never hits me or anything and he only drinks a few beers if that at parties only.) He was screaming at me to get him more food on his plate. At first, my mom seemed to be comforting and the same, but later she started yapping to my sister about taking her to a Cardi-B concert (but my sister doesnt like her music). It was very scary because I really tried to reason with my dad and I asked him "Well what about after you die? Come on dad just snap out of it please? What happened to you? What about God?" Because we are pretty religious. Anyways he just said "As long as I die it doesn't matter where I go" or something like that. What does it mean

She's 19 hes turning 20. They've known each other for almost a year but started dating a couple months ago.

I'm a 19 yr old guy just trying to support himself. I have a job (my first real job). I was told (in an email) that I would get about 20 hours a week but I only get 5 now. I'm not even able to support myself. My family struggles even though we rent an ok but small house. My parents have to borrow money from my grandma. I get that i have it way better off than others I just want to help out my family without my mom worrying about paying my grandma back

I don't know what else to do. My sister wants to hurt me. She's schizophrenic. She's at the hospital now. I don't know if she's coming back. My mom doesn't care about me. She's planning to move away. Or she might die and I might end up homeless. No one is going to let me stay with them.

Should I do it anyways? I'm 17 and I think I can make my own decisions for my own hair.

I live with my sons father and our 2 year old son at his moms house till we find a place of our own! I always feel she talks about me like I get real tensed when she walks in the room or I'm around her. I always feel like I say the wrong things or that I sound dumb when I talk to her! One day I asked her what's the difference between Star Wars an star track an she rolled her eyes an said Star Wars is Star Wars an star track is star track! Obviously I knew this but I wanted to know the different reasons behind the titles! She's always yelling at my 2 year old like he's a 10 year old an said "I'll bust your head in" to my son I know deep down she doesn't care for me but I'm really respectful an always clean up after everyone in the house since I'm not working. I just got a car so now I'm able to get out the house more When I moved in she made me feel like she would help with the baby when I needed to job search but she works everyday an so does my boyfriend which is the reason I was put into a stay at home mom role until I just got my car. I'm really soft spoken an she doesn't like that an I catch her rolling her eyes at me at times! I feel like a loser!

This morning I was going to my mom s room to take a shower, and she woke me up saying she remembered I was going to take a shower this morning. I specifically asked her to wake me up, (even if I could have set an alarm). But, that s the general backstory. I went into her bathroom with my things and it was on the bathroom sink in plain sight. I pointed it out, half asleep and not entirely sure I was seeing things right, she rushed in, quickly stuffed it away in the back of her cabinet and said a quiet sorry . I m wondering if she thinks I had no idea it was a dildo, because she thinks I m stupidly innocent, even though I m 16 and in highschool. Things are so awkward now, and I even cried about it this morning from stress (prolly sounds stupid, but (not to beg for sympathy) I have bad anxiety), I am scared about how awkward it was and still is for me at least. She s been buying my happiness a lot today, I can tell she is trying to cover for what happened. I get really grossed out when I think about it, and feel so in disbelief. I am genuinely revolted, even if it s normal for people to masturbate, and she is a single mom, but I feel super nauseous when this morning crosses my mind again. I know I should move on, and forget it happened, but it was wet, and in plain sight on the sink, and she knew I was definitely taking a shower this morning. I have a hard time looking at her, and lied to her when she saw me upset this morning, not saying the real reason. What do I do?

Lately, he's been coming home late and every time i see him his eyes are so red like he's mad or something and he's been eating so much good lately? he laughs at the smallest jokes

My older brother was watching a show on the Reelz Channel about the serial killer Ted Bundy it kind of scared me a little. There was a a scene where they said was very disturbing that his dad was actually his grandfather because his mom was raped and impregnated by her own father. Seriously WTF kind of father does that to his own daughter no wonder the guy was so screwed up. I have a daughter I wouldn't dream of doing things like that to her. That really scares me and upsets me not being able to trust myself around my own kids not being trust around anyone not even my own family. I have ADHD so littlest things like this upsets me and worries me. I'm his younger brother by the way. Is it OK to cry in front of him ?

I suppose you'll need context first. My mom is constantly drinking, and makes no effort to stay sober despite her many promises to do so. Support groups seem out of reach at this point when my family has done all they could to help her with no resolve. I could live with that if she didn't belittle my dad and verbally abuse him on the daily. She always accuses him on cheating with another woman, claiming he doesn't actually love her despite his actions to prove otherwise. The insults and screams are only escalating when he hasn't said a single word against her. He doesn't want anyone else involved, but living here is just a nightmare. To make it worse, she cries and makes herself the victim! He just goes and comforts her like nothing happened! Like, what the actual f*ck? Being a minor, I can't exactly move out, now can I? I'm just at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. It seems like I've everything.

Although this may sound like a petty question, I just really want to know. For a really time now I have wanted to do modeling (I'm a teenager) and I do think I could find work for it. But the problem is my parents. My mom always tells me how pretty I am liek most moms do, and I always imply something bout modeling but she says "You would never want to become a model, you could, but you're too smart for that and so on" I really badly want to do it but how do I tell my mom that I do, because she thinks I don't. :/

If a parent never physically touched their child, but imply they wanted to. Such as in pictures sliding their hands down to their child s butt, or asking them to "sleep with them" such as a little child would (not implying to have sex), or masturbate with them near? I do not think that this is sexual abuse or really mental abuse because no harsh words are being shared, but is this some type or abuse, and if so, what type?

My 51 yr old dad just welcomed a baby girl. The girl he had the baby with is 23. She's actually a friend of my half sister's. Her and my dad dated a little bit last year and she got pregnant with his baby. They're not currently together, but there is a pic of FB of her laying the hospital bed with the baby in her arms and my dad is bending over her and they're sharing a pretty good kiss with each other. He was there for the birth as well on barely any sleep because he really wanted to be there. He had spent the entire night before trying to pass a kidney stone and finally did in the middle of the night. Does this mean they're back together or? I've never seen him so happy before. I'm really hoping it turns out well, but I remember what happened last time and with me where he was around financially, but the quality time he wasn't....he was off with some woman He doesn't want to make mistakes this time around he said and wants to lose weight and get healthier so he can be active with the kid when she gets a little older and he said

My mom and dad were always at war with eachother. I didn't know who to listen to and they contradicted eachother. My mom a strong Christian woman who wanted to raise children to help make the world a better place, she taught us by hard work and discipline. My dad the atheist alcoholic who doesn't give a **** about the world, lied to his kids, was deceptive and enticed them with money to get them on his side. And my mother was really the only one that was actually helping me LEARN TO SURVIVE, while MY DAD WAS TRYING TO KEEP OUR HEADS IN THE SAND UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE, AND I DIDN"T KNOW WHO TO LISTEN TO! my dad gave the bigger reward, and I didn't know that it would of led to my failure. What good was my dad?

the thing is, my dad has health issues and some other problems and hes cheap and complains a lot but.., im not sure if i wanna live wih my mom because shes very strict with everything!! and when i mean strict, i mean STRICT. she doesnt let me eat in my own room and wont let me study any where else but at the desk. shes also an overachiever. also im very bored when i live with her, i almost have nothing to do during the weekends. also because we live in a very wealthy neighborhood, and the school over there is filled with rich white kids (not that i hate it, but i dont think i'll fit in) also the teachers are strict. if i live with my dad he'll take me to places and i think i'll fit in better although ive already moved to 3 different high schools so far...
