I come home on weekends, I'm 21 and in college. 3 years ago now my dad and 100s of others lost their jobs in town. It was a huge hit for our town. My parents have gotten very creative with ways to get a income and have started 2 new businesses, both of which cannot be run in the winter, but do very good in the fall, spring and summer. My mom is always going off and worried about money, it just feels constant. It just feels like I come home and everyone is just so stressed out and miserable all the time, and it's just so overwhelming. Seeing how anger and stress has hurt people around me, I try to stay chill about things, and not get so worked up, and honestly that's probably why I've done so good in school, but when I come home it can be just so overwhelming, and I start to get angry because I feel like I listen to it all the time. It's frustrating because I don't want to see my mom so stressed and upset, but then I don't know how to help her. Both my parents have worked very hard, and I think it's going to pay off, I just feel so powerless, and this upsets me to because there's nothing I can. If I had a million dollar's I'd give it to them, but what am I supposed to do?

I am not up to date with what kids are into these days. Any ideas for my grandson?

She does not look anything like me or anyone else in my family. My father (deceased) accepted her as his own assuming that he was her father; according to other family members her mom was promiscuous. I have doubts that I'm even biologically related to her. Since she is only a half sister is it legally necessary to disown her? Can I just dissociate from her completely? There are good reasons for me to get her out of my life, but I'm not going to get into all of that stuff.

My father has been on life support for quite some time my mother thinks she's doing the right thing by keeping him on life support but in the meantime not only my father but she's making everyone else suffer plus my father has a life insurance policy that is worth quite a bit. But the longer she holds on the longer we all have to wait. I don't know how to convince her that it is his time to go and stop hanging on when the situation is not going to better itself

My sister likes to bully me, and she can do that because ahe has a brown belt in karate, and whenever we argue she wins. How can I deal with it?

We haven't done anything to them. They've just always hated us and wish nothing but the worst for us. When we were kids my aunt treated us really bad until my mom called her out on it. Now she's fake nice to us when she really doesn't want to be. My cousin always bullies me every time she sees me. She doesn't do my other siblings like that, only me. I don't know why, but I'm tired of it. I want to call her out on it so she can stop, but I don't want to start drama. My oldest sister used to be jealous of my other sister when she was a teen because she used to be somewhat attractive. Now that she's an adult, not so attractive, has gained weight, she's no longer jealous. I think it's weird. What grown woman is jealous of a teenage girl? My other cousin lowkey laughs at us every time she comes over. I just don't get why they hates us so much and we haven't done anything to them. They really hate us. The only thing we did to them is fight back after all the abuse we took from them all these years and now they pretend like they did nothing to us and it's all us. I'm just tired of being around a bunch of people who secretly hate me and want to see me fail. I have no choice but to be around them and pretend to like them. My family on my mom's side and dad's side just don't like us. They only pretend to. They really want nothing to do with us. I don't get it. Nobody likes us. Everyone wants to see us fail.

He wants me in combat boots like he was and my grandfather and great-grandfather all were. My great-grandfather even died in combat (France in 1944). My Dad has long said nothing would make him prouder then if his son were to die for his country. I find all this disturbing. Do I enlist for him when I don't want to and don't like the "die for your country" mentality? My Dad has two cousins who have died for their country and one was in a war (1991 in Saudi Arabia during Gulf War) and the other a helicopter training mission crash in 1996 in North Carolina that made national headlines. My Dad has boasted of those two cousins and has their pictures all over the house. It is an obsession of his. I hate the military and am disgusted with the whole idea. So should I join for him even though I will hate it?

Don't just say "see a shrink" as I do that and he referred me to this website though cautioned about bully anonymous trolls.

I have had my phone taken away since November of 2019 and I really want my phone back, but my mom is refusing to give it back because she thinks I am not doing my part to get it back which I am doing my part. I had do make conversations with people which was better than before and my mom told me I have 4 weeks and I could get my phone back with having good posture which I have been having good posture and Mom does not think so at all. I really want my phone back so, I can talk to my friends I don't go to school with and watch my favorite youtube channels again. So, what should I say to my mom or what should I do? help me out, please.

My older brother and I used to be best friends. He started dating this girl around the time I started dating my husband 6 years ago. This girl runs his life, he started dressing different, she try's to make him be vegan (he has to cheat behind her back), she always wants to try and live beyond their financial needs, and has even gone as far as to insult the quality of my parents house, cars(she told my brother people really care about the kind of car you drive, so he took out a loan while he's trying to pay for school). Whenever they come over (twice a year) they're late and she's rude. I have a 1 bedroom apartment in a very old building and I can just feel her judging me. She thinks I'm trash for smoking cigarettes. My real question is how do I save my brother from this toxic relationship?! Why would he let someone treat his family this way??

My daughter, who is 13, has a friend who has a brother around my son's age (6). On Tuesday, me and his mother arranged a play date for the two of them. But about an hour later, her son ran up to me while crying and two of his teeth were bleeding. He said that my son wanted to play as a certain action figure, one that the other child had already chosen. He didn't like this, so he punched him in the face and threw a rock at his jaw. My son said that he was "being mean", so he "solved things like they do on TV". I absolutely do not permit television with any sorts of violence in them. Another possible contributing factor is that I am a divorcee, and my ex-husband is a police officer who lets my son watch whatever he wants on TV, which I do not approve of. Apparently, he seems to especially like Family Guy and American Dad, both of which are very violent. What isn't helping is that my ex-husband shows my son various techniques he uses on criminals whenever he has to resort to violence. The boy's mother has refused to let my son near her family since this incident. What do I do, and is there a possibility that this will be taken to court?

My parents are divorced. I have family members (cousins) whose parents are divorced. I want all of us to call each other a cool name that's related to this fact. Any one can help? Perhaps a name that can also be used as a group chat name.

She doesn't want me to me to move out at all! But I'm paying rent for my apartment in which my brother is living free! I told him to look for his own place a while ago! What should I do? Both brothers hardly pay attention to her medical needs. I feel if I move she might die! But she always defending and disrespecting me so idk.

He has 1 job then got another, lives in garage. Doesn't pay food or rent or any bills and even co plains about the bathroom being a mess when my children take shower... he is dramatic.. I also clean his mess up until The other day because I said you need to clean ur dishes.. He's not 16 he is 20! Also, I write the way I do because yahoo questions does not allow a lot of words... in a short answer, he does not contribute to nothing... I'm getting annoyed... caused arguments with my husband and I..now I do not know what to do, as I can't even put my belongings to storage them in garage. My husband always defends him and the brother can't even live with anyone. I'm just tired of him snitching on my children. I don't like it..

Family has arguments here and there. My brother and his wife told my sister whom I'm close with a secret I vented out to them. I will eventually tell my sister in private but they already told her without my permission. This made my sister think differently of me, and she doesn't trust me. I'm really angry about it. Did they betray me? Should I be really mad at them for saying that when I told them to keep it a secret? I'm suppose to see them tomorrow for a family gathering and my intentions are to show up and then leave when they get there because I will blow up my emotions and it won't be nice. What should I do?

I don't know if this is so much as a question or going towards blowing off steam. I'm an 18 year old boy, and back in 2009 my parents divorced and my mother received custody. Our house was sold and I moved to a new city with my mom and siblings and my uncle was helping us move in. Little did I know he would stay and live in the house with me and my siblings. Through talks with my dad I had learned and pieced together that my mom was having an affair with her half brother who's now living with us and taking on a father figure role in my life. Ever since I've never felt emotionally close to my mom or my uncle, and have repressed the situation. Growing up I was told by my mom to refer to him as "my moms boyfriend" around other people, yet we'd invite over his kids (my cousins) which would become trivial to try and explain and hide from others. All my life I've felt shame and resentment for living this way. My mom was alienated from her family for this yet my siblings and I still visit them occasionally. All the time I feel embarrassed and shameful for living with her. Growing up I hid this all my life except from my best friend and my girl friend. I feel it has had psychological impacts on my life, every day seeing my uncle in my home makes me feel vile. I don't want to live with my dad because of the life I've already established here in my city with my girlfriend, job, friends, and school, but I feel no emotional attachment to my mom or uncle. What should I do?

Whenever my dad says to my brother something about his health like, "Don't eat that it's bad for your health." And my brother replies, "What makes you think I don't want to die?" He says he's joking but I honestly don't know when it's a joke and when it's real. This other time my dad said to my brother, "Be careful driving there are a lot of idiots on the road." And he'll say, "Good, put me out of my misery." Should I be worried?

When I was little my parents loved to become estranged from people in my Mom's family.

This is a legit situation. When I was 8 (20 years ago), I had a crush on my 18 year old cousin. I remember walking out to the backyard while he was tanning to hand him the phone because his friend was on the phone and he was shirtless and I was just so impressed. We live on opposite sides of the country, so growing up, I only saw him a few times and I haven't seen him in 15 years. Anyways, that crush lasted about 5 years, even though I knew it was wrong. About 8 years ago, my cousin told me that once I was an adult, he became very attracted to me and even had a crush on me, despite how wrong it was. I admitted to having a crush on him as a kid. The older we got, he'd hit on me more when he was drunk and sexual talk to me. He got married a few years ago and his wife caught him saying dirty stuff to me and almost divorced him. She had no idea I'm his cousin, she just thought I was some woman he was dirty talking. This summer, I am seeing him for the first time in 15 years and although he is married and I am engaged, I sometimes fantasize about actually having sex with him while I'm there. Of course, it's just a fantasy and I'd never take it further than a fantasy. Have you ever fantasized about sex with your cousin? I know it's gross, incestuous, etc. but I can't help it...he's practically a stranger. By the way, I don't know if the first part made sense, but I'm now 28 and he's about to be 38. The reason we're seeing each other is a family reunion so we'll be surrounded by family the majority of the time and my fiance sticks to me like a koala to a eucalyptus tree so I'll for sure have a chaperone lol. It's not an obsession. I almost never think about it, but the closer it gets to family reunion time, the more I think about it.

I don't know whether to vent my frustrations or not because she gets off on the negative attention and pushing my buttons then plays mind games. I moved out because she's a toxic parent. Anything she offers comes with strings attached I need, and she keeps wanting to meet or me visit atvthe worst times. I dont know what to do... I feel powerless. Should I block her number? Get things off my chest? She won't change. It's effecting my job, relationship, life, well being, and my energy.

My sister is a weird, and abusive relationship with her husband. He's beat her multiple times, cheated on her, and refuses to let her punish her daughters for being disrespectful to her and her older daughter is a ******* menace. She is always talking back to my mom her grandma, and to her grandpa she puts her feet in peoples face in public, she has a foul mouth, and consistently touches peoples crotch/***, and is a bully to other kids she plays her dad doesn't let her mom do anything about it. She begs my mom for help my mom punishes her daughter she starts to act nice for a little while then goes back to being disrespectful. It's a never ending cycle recently her daughter has been complaining about being punished to her dad. Her dad starts to complain and my dumbass sister starts to agree with his dumbass. She came to our house today and told my mom that she doesn't want her to punish her anymore when we pick her up from school if she does anything wrong and wants us to basically let her be disrespectful until she comes back from college to pick her up. Also good to note she was about to get a divorce but made up with her husband the douchebag. My sister her husband, and her daughter what am I supposed to do to stop the fighting between my mom and my sister?

My mum kept on at me to get a job (I'm 15 now, was 13 when I started there) and so I got a part time job washing up in a pub. She takes all my money off of me to put into a savings account. I told her I don't want to do it anymore and she's making me stay there, even the staff at the pub think she's unreasonable and should just let me have my money to buy clothes etc. I have also been getting a hard time off one of the chefs who keeps texting me and being inappropriate and it's making me feel ill and really not want to go there. I keep telling my mum and she just ignores me and tells me to get on with it and if I leave I won't be having any money coming in. I can't concentrate at school and dread the weekends because of work. Is this child abuse?

So I just literally had to beg my sister to start talking to me again all because I suggested she read published books in the genre she wants to be an author in. She got so angry she stormed out on me and refused to talk to me. I only asked her to read at least one classic from a notable author, you know the staple of her genre.

I have been working in a pub washing up every Friday and Saturday night after school and Sunday lunch times since I was 13, my mum made me get a job and she takes all my cash in hand money and puts it in a saving account, she never lets me socialise and so I see going to work as a way to escape and do something. Everyone at my school is having parties and I'm not allowed to go so I'm doing this instead. I really don't like my family and just feel I'm trying to avoid being at home! My mum won't let me hang out with people my age from school but is happy for me to work alongside people over twice my age, the men are pervy, the bad language is foul and the environment is smoky. I really feel this is child abuse! Is her parenting correct?

I asked a question on the site about me having a fallout with my mom and a lot of people are skeptical saying stuff like "There is more to this story or you're lying" I am guessing it's the fact that since my mom is an adult she is automatically right, but not everyone is right no matter the age. I am saying everything I know why is this question generating bad reviews? Why don't these people read it and analyze it correctly? https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20190228203228AAgZQtO The best answer is the correct answer.

I'm always been an introvert and get super awkward around people including my family. My dad has been making feel bad for not visiting my aunt who now lives in town. Currently I'm working shift work which can be exhausting at times. I'm 23 years old.

It's not like I'm the only one who bullies her. At least 14 other girls have been doing it for 2 entire years now. I fought her and said that she's so ugly, she should've been aborted. She is extremely skinny and has chunky highlights because her hair is so dry. She dresses like a younger kid and her mom is a psycho. Her music videos on Tik Tok are extremely cringey because of her lip sync moves. For the longest time nobody liked her at all.

The father of my child has been in Mexico since October. He constantly text me how he is poor to support our son, in and out of a job, still with his mom and can't go anywhere. And while he texted me that I later find out he's at a beach resort a plane ride away from where he's been residing. I confronted him about it and he denies everything. My sister says I'm over reacting. I'm mad because he's constantly telling me " I can't do nothing for the baby" and yet continues to travel all over Mexico claiming he's broke. I don't like being lied to and it bothers me because he spontaneously text me these things and I later find out its false.

my friend noah and we were hanging out at my house and he has anger issues but i never judged him because we've been friends since we were toddlers, and i was playing on my iMac and he was playing on his laptop and i was bored and asked if he had any crushes at school and he said he does and the conversation was bland until he told me who and i asked if i can tell her (jokingly) and he EXPLODED and went to my computer and UNPLUGGED IT then shook it super hard over and over until i heard weird sounds like crack sound inside and then he went to his laptop and said "i hope it ******* breaks" and when i tried to turn it on, it booted into a folder with a question mark (meaning it can't find the hard drive) meaning he broke it and he just said "haha" and i told my parents but they don't believe noah would do something like that and I'm really stuck :( what do i do, it won't turn on at all now, no lights

It is so gay.
