I hate my mom s girlfriend. Yes, my mom is gay, get over it. Anyway, let s call her Cat. Cat is super rude and selfish. She overreacts and she acts very dramatically. She talks about me and my sister behind our backs, I ve heard her. She s so oversensitive too. When anything doesn t go her way, she storms away and sometimes cries. Now, I am sensitive, but she s a whole different level. other day, a put a frozen pizza in the oven (classy, I know), and I placed it directly on the rack, as the instructions said. She was like, "oh you have to put a thing under it, your gonna mess up the rack!!" then when I protested, she snapped at me and said "tell that to your mom." Honestly I m sick of her and I just hope she leaves forever. I know this isn t really a question, but I really needed to rant. I guess if I were to ask anything I would ask how I should deal with her and not hate her?

I have had my phone gone for almost 6 months and I really want it back badly and I don't know what to do at all. How I lost my phone was for the first time was not having face to face conversations which have gotten so much better, next was for my posture which also has gotten better and the last thing was my behavior which is not bad, but still needs a little more work. I really need my phone, so I can talk to my friends, call my parents when I home by myself, at school, or somewhere and I need to ask the something or need a quick favor. I also need my phone so I can do my driving class while I am in the car and do my school homework while in the car. how can I get it back or tell my parents in a calm manner why I need it.

I told my daughter to stop bullying other people (including dogs too) and she said I'm in no place to tell her what to do. I quickly begged her, and she was furious so she went into my cabinet. The first thing she saw was an old $10 dollar. She cut it into shredded pieces and angrily threw it on the floor - telling me that I can't make her clean it up. Next time I anger her, she said she will burn and cut my most valuable/loved belongings to see how I react, and I can't stop her

My mom and I fight a lot so I never really thought that the things being said weren't normal until my friends and mental health service people (mobile therapy and such) pointed it out. She always makes it out that I start all the fights but I've been noticing a lot lately she's the one who starts. For example I'm leaving to join job corps very soon and I've been staying with my father more because there is a lot less drama here. She started yelling at me telling me I was ungrateful and how my dad wanted me aborted (which isn't the first time she's told me this but it hurts every time she says it) and that she's the one who always took care of me and that I only went to my dads for money. Which truly I don't, I just enjoy being at my fathers. I left after the argument and gave my niece a quick kiss goodbye because she was there since my mom babysits her. Before I left out the apartment door downstairs she screamed out that my niece wanted another kiss but I just couldn't be around her anymore so I just left. She called me in the car and told me my niece thought I was coming back and how she won't stop saying my name and then put my niece on the phone. I felt so bad because that's my babygirl and the only reason I truly come home is to see her but I just couldn't go back. I just don't know if this is emotionally abusive like everyone in my life says or I'm just overreacting.

My sister is going to a dance with her boyfriend tonight. This is the first time she's ever been to a dance with a boy she's really obsessed with this guy she's really excited also really nervous. She said he's the cutest thing she's ever seen he's also her first real boyfriend. They go to an art studio together they're doing a dance tonight she was shy to ask him to go but she did it. He's not her boyfriend yet but that what she's calling him she said he's too cute. He's also shy and quiet like her he called her last night she said it sounded weird talking to him since he hardly ever talks. She said he has a lot in common with her they even like the same band. She wouldn't know what else to talk about with him beside music which is all he likes to talk about to. How can I help her ?

I had neighbors who fostered once, and I've noticed that some families would purposely steer their kids away from them. The main worry is that those kids are a bad influence, and will do things that are wrong or illegal (for example, let's say drugs, violence or sex at a young age). There was a big stigma attached to them and many people didn't want other kids to talk to them

My mum has a lot of narcissistic tendencies, she was physically and emotionally abusive towards me until I was 24 (2 years ago). The only reason she stopped is because I stood up to Her and don't take her bs anymore. So then she didn't have anyone to pick on, she moved to my dad. The thing is, my dad has changed completely. He forgets things, gets easily confused etc and just like me a few years ago, if he does something stupid, he will lie to my mum about it and won't admit he's wrong because if he does, she will tear him down. Then she treats him even worse for days until he apologises. I'm actually terrified to move out cause if I'm not there to stand up for him I don't stand him for him, I'm scared of what will happen. How can I reason with her and explain that her behaviour is f*cked up? I have tried telling her that it's wrong but she says she wants to stay angry so no one takes advantage of her again. She went to counselling once, came back in years talking about how she's a horrible person. Now she refuses to go back and says she doesn't have time

do you think its fair? I no longer what to spend every holiday there, I dont want them getting just to or relating every special moment at the grandparents those special moments should be at our their home. I want things done my way, not always theirs. I think its selfish of them they had 5 kids, I only have 2. they enjoyed their kids, they want to enjoy mine too. I feel like I dont because they are sort of robbed from me in those times.

Okay I'm 17 years old Russian girl & I live in Queens NY with my mom & my parents divorced when I was 9 & my mom always go to a stripping club & sometimes she brings many men to our house which annoys me a lot & now she brings home black men that do drugs & bad stuff. Can anyone help me on what to do ??

My uncle has 4 kids and she is not asking them since she doesn't see them as much and when kids they were not real nice due to their mother putting stuff in their head about the family (parents divorced). So this cousin is having my aunt and her 3 kids, my parents and their 4 kids, but is excluding this one batch of four cousins. She is inviting their Dad and step-mother. Is this cruel? When I heard I was shocked.

I am a 33 year old male , and I hangout with my mom regularly . I see her a lot during the week . We shop together, have lunch and run errands together. I however , do not like the fact that my mom supports bullying . She has never had my back during school years. Even today , I sometimes turn around , when she is walking behind me , only to catch a glimpse of her looking at me like an insect that needs to be crushed. Even today , she is non - supportive of / and is disgusted by a transgendered family member of ours. ( I am not transgendered, but this is her attitude about trans and gay people in general) My mom acts as if she condones bullying and one day recently told me that people who are being bullied or even physically attacked "SHOULD NOT FIGHT BACK OR DEFEND THEMSELVES . " I find her ways of thinking to be very upsetting. I have told my mom about herself before, but she is stubborn and wont listen . She insists on this mindset. In this case , should we agree to disagree? or should I consider limiting the time I spend with my mother?

I felt very very uncomfortable and almost in danger while it was happening. I had that feeling you get when something isn't right and my intuition was telling me to get away. My brother in law is an amazing husband to my sister and to his children. I'm only 18 years old and lived with them for a time when my parents were going through divorce. He even bought me my first car, I've always looked up to him as my brother even though he technically isn't. I've always known that I could trust him even when I couldn't trust other members of my family. I can't believe he would violate trust like that. Is it justified that I feel creeped out and upset. This happened months ago and I haven't been over at my sister's house since. Am I being dramatic?

My brother is stealing things and money from our home And my parents don't believe me and now im very paranoid and can't live anymore in this house i think hes gonna kill all of us please help

I am 20 with two dogs. I lived on my own for a while but my health crashed and I had to move back in with my mom and step dad. My mom is fine... However my step dad... I am not allowed to use the restroom. I had to get a porta-potty and make a sink with a storage container and a 2 gallon water bottle. I can't use the kitchen either and was living off of canned food until I was given a mini fridge. I also have a small cook top. Due to my medical issues, I have been struggling to find work, as it can leave me stuck in bed if I am not careful. I have been living like this for a year now. Re-homing my dogs is not an option... And everyone here, including the cops who already know, are all fans of my stepdad as everyone knows him as the sweet guy. I am at a loss and I am not sure what to do anymore. I am currently bunkered in my room as he is having a fit again. I want to live somewhere safe but I don't know what to do anymore.

Pretty much my whole life my dad told me that going to school is very easy and that working is very hard. When I was taking college classes he always told me I wasn't doing anything.. It was my first day at a job today and he texted me "feeling miserable yet"? I just think he's kinda negative. What do you think?

The other day me and my big sister were watching tv by ourselves. The show we were watching the kid on tv got tickled once we watched that my sister gave me an evil look shes alot older and bigger so she held me down and she tickled me. she knows im super ticklish and she knows I have fun when sne tickles me but she also knows im embarrassed about it. Is that why she always taunts me . i try not to laugh but i learned to just give in and she always says big sisters are suppose to tickle little brothers. is that true? should i be embarrased? what do you think she thinks of me? is she teasing to be mean?

My mom (the woman who gave birth to me and that I live with) decided to have a child in her early 40s. She was not married, and decided to use a sperm donor to have a child. However, she soon realized that her own egg cells were no longer able to produce children. She decided to use two anonmymous donors: a sperm donor and an egg donor. She carried the product of these two anonmymous donors (me) and gave birth to me. She never hid this from me, and I can't remember not knowing that I was created from two anonmymous donors. I have been told by both family members and family friends that I strongly resemble my mother's grandmother, and that I look like a younger version of her. I love my mom with all my heart, and she has given me a loving home and privileged life. I will always consider her to be my "real mom". However, there's a part of me that's afraid. I love my mom, and I love my family. But one of my cousins recently made a very hurtful comment to me after I made some joke about family genetics, saying that I'm "not really a part of our family". She didn't mean for it to be hurtful in any way, it just slipped out and she didn't think twice about it (it was early in the morning and she has a tendency to not think about how her words affect others). In the moment, I didn't really think about it, but later in the day it really got to me. Am I, in any way (even at an atomic level), related to my mom? I want to be a part of her family, but I feel out of place...

So, my mom and dad dont get along. They are divorced and have both done questionable things to each other. Anyway, my aunt broke her arm, so I Barrowed my dads weed eater for her lawn, because mines not running. Before he let me Barrow it he asked "your not gonna use it at your moms house are you?" I said I wasnt. Well I'm at my moms house right now with the weed eater, and her grass is pretty tall. I was contemplating on just wacking it down real quick. My dad would never know, but I know he would be pissed if he found out I used it at my moms.

Long story short, my family treats me like ****, but I still love them and would like to see them every once in a while. He said when we get married, I will maybe try to contact them in 5 years. I can t go to my brother s wedding, and I can t see my niece be born. I know my family is abusive, but this sounds abusive too so what do I do? As stated, my family is abusive to me. So he doesn't want me to be around them, because he is worried as to what they will do to me. So what do I do?

my stepdad is horrible. but just too me. hes strict, rude and mean to just me. im a good kid. i get decent grades, go my homework, do what im told. never get in trouble in school. just bye him. he has so many dumb and unfair rules. im a 14 year old girl about to start my freshman year. he thinks he has more authority over my mom. and my mom lets me have socail media and even follows me but he doesnt let me and said that it doesnt matter what my mom saids only what he says. he takes away my phone for dumb reasons. he threw my phone and came up on me once. hes tried to touch me while yelling at me. he hurts me. physically and emotionally. i dont know how to fix this.

He started it a few days ago, and just told me about it today. I'm a little worried because he's young(14) and could get in trouble with our parents. I'm also scared of some of the comments he might receive because he's a child youtuber and the videos are recorded in poor quality on his phone. But I also why he started it. Besides the fact that he enjoys playing games, my brother has been having a very hard time making friend at school, to the point that in the past 3 years he's only been able to make 2. Everyone else at the school bullies him(he has been hit before) or just ignores and avoids him. Even some of the teachers treat him poorly. I believe he's attempting to make more online friends through these videos, like he has on some of his multiplayer games but I'm still worried. I have no clue if I should tell our parents, or if I should just keep an eye on his channel and behavior to make sure nothing happens. I don't want to ruin this for him, but I don't want to lie or wait him to be cyberbullies either.

My sister is in her late 20s. She lives two hours away from home and has a full time job and I will admit that she does pay for certain things - her rent, utilities, car insurance; things of that nature. However, my parents really spoil her on everything else. They paid off all of her student loans and for her sorority when she was in school. I paid my own way through community college. When she comes home, my mom will buy her groceries and do her laundry. My sister decided last month that she wanted to buy a luxury car, so they gave her $5,000 for the down payment. I had to pay for everything for my car. She frequently travels to NYC to hang out with her friends and I have no doubt my parents are footing some of that bill. She also tends to date older men who are in the public eye and I can only figure out why. I'm trying not to complain, but is there anything I can do to feel less jealous? I don't and would never ask my parents to pay for things unless I absolutely needed it, but I can't help but feel like she's the golden child. Thanks.

My boyfriend's family has been told many times they are always welcome but they need to call first. i get supper stressed out about stuff being undone and ppl just show up at the door. we cant act like we arent home because both our cars are outside. today i had a pizza in the oven, feeding our 1 year old plus i had my sexy pjs on and all of a sudden someone is at the door. It was his grandma so i went to my room thinking she was just gonna drop something off which she did but she step in our home and said she didnt care and sat down and talked and talked until the oven went off. 5 mins later she left. This happens a lot... my boyfriend says he told her to call first but she doesnt listen. i understand shes old and can be forgetful but if im not expecting someone over i dont want any pop ups. it stresses me out... my house doesnt look like a zoo but the three dishes from breakfast that i wanted to wash and the floor that hasnt been swept bothers me. his gma is also a clean freak so i know she will judge and tell other family and friends. it bothers me. what would be a good way to handle this. his family is doing this more often.

We were almost sisters, and more than this. But suddenly she just don't talk to me. I tried to figure out why but I didn't know. I asked her many times but she only responded with (nothing). It's been years and we still dont talk! TWo days ago i tried to remember what could happened. And I remembered i took photo of some of her drawings and posted them on my fake Twitter account just to impress someone.she doesn't know about that account and its closed now and the drawings are removed. But im just thinking maybe she saw that account and got mad at me and never talk to me cause she never trust me. Im not sure if she saw that account or not, but that the only mistake i can remember. I know im a paycho and thats a big mistake. But at that time i thought we are close enough that i dont even need to ask for a permission. (I know i dont have a right) but that was years ago( may be in 2013 or so) Now i wanna fix things up im feeling really bad What can i do? How would I know if she knew or not? Does she have a right to just stop talking without telling me why!? How to accept the fact that we wont be together again i still miss her and feel bad whenever i see her in any family gathering 💔 Thanks
