I am 20 and learned this guy and his family had lots of money and we are broke since my Dad left when I was 10. Serious question.

Ik married for 2 years. My husband was very jealous for first fee month and we had big arguments about that. I had guy friends and it was an issue. So i stopped contacting them and slowly he changed too at least i though so. I love him greatly but i am feeling awful. He is talking about me becoming cheater which i would never dom im so tired of discussing same issue over and over. But it continues still. I dont know what to do anymore. When i get mad he says aweful thinfs to me and makes me cry. And he constantly tonting me for having party in my house which took place even before i met him. Other than this issue he is amazing rwally but i cant suffer like this anymore.

I realize no one can answer directly, but I am looking for possible reasons why a relative's funeral would be so far away when all the family is right around here and there are several funeral parlors right here.

I'm 18 and I've developed a very beautiful relationship with my grandparents over the past 10 years. I had a very rough childhood and they took my brother and I in when we had no where else to go. I am so grateful for them. I've also developed a very strong relationship with my tia and cousins. They recently decided they're going to move to Colorado in about a year. Unexpectedly, they asked me to go with them. They believe it will be a fresh start for us all and an opportunity to make something of ourselves. I want to go but the only thing holding me back is leaving my dear brother and grandparents behind. I love them so much, and I don't want to hurt them. They have given me the world and more and I feel very guilty about leaving. What should I do?

They're 16 and 19... and their first cousin on my husbands side who is 24 is in prison. Keep into consideration they have meet him already but when they were little kids. Actually my 16 year old and her cousin used to be really close as little kids. It was when they all grew up that their cousin's family started having issues and they all drifted apart and haven't seen each other since. honestly think this will be a good experience for them however im not 100% sure and I need some help deciding. I know my teens remember their cousin but not 100% they were little. I know I already asked this question but I'm just adding more details into here. thanks a ton.

My little brother is 14 going on 15 next month and I caught him and my cousin kissing few days ago... I yelled at her told her to go home and not come back, explained to my brother that it was wrong but I'm not sure he or she will listen. I don't think he cares what I say he's always only cared about her.. I know they've always been inseparable but I didn't know until this past weekend that they were doing this I thought they were just close cousins . I'm thinking this is serious.. What should I do to help them stop this they are both so young and I'm concerned.. Edit we are seconds cousins but it doesn't make it right it's wrong and immoral and she in my opinion as a woman should be more responsible with her body.. I already told her parents but those two insist on seeing each other no matter what ...

No matter what time I am cooking something he comes in an needs to cook too. He pushes my stuff out of the way and starts making his stuff. So I asked him to give me 20 minutes to finish what I m doing when he sees that I m cooking, but he said he couldn t and wants me to pick a time in the morning to cook. I told him that won t work because my work schedule varies, plus that doesn t help with lunch or dinner. He s retired so he has all the time in the world, but for some reason, every time no matter what time, he needs to cook when I am. I feel like he s being really unreasonable that he can t give me a few minutes to finish what I m cooking and wants me to pick a time instead. Is he being absurd and a bully? Cuz that s how he s making me feel and he doesn t seem to care.

Ok let me give you guys background info it all started when I was 14 my mom pulled me out of school and never taught me anything then my family fell into bankruptcy. at 15 my big brother dies due to drunk driving we were very close. Then at 16 my mom left. At 17 I moved in with my sister with her new family at 18 my sister cheated and left me with my 3 year old nephew and her ex boyfriend the ex took advantage of me and I fell pregnant he punched me in the gut and lost the baby shortly after I moved in with my dad in December. Now im 20 my dad is in the hospital with diabetic foot they did surgery on him to cut off his toes to stop infection but its still there and no one taught me finances but my dad left me in charge. Now he going to sell the house I have no where to go. Also I keep seeing pregnant mothers and their happy faces and crap I just want life to end it's seems like it will never get better and life is rubbing ot her people's happiness in my face I'm sick of it and want to end it. So give me reason why life Is sooo great.

im a 17 year old guy, and i have 3 siblings: an older sister and a younger brother and sister. none of us have special needs (not that i know of), and none of us are adopted. i dont understand whats wrong with my parents. first of all, they never get punished, and they get good things. whenever i leave the house, my mom has to chaperone and come along, and its really embarrassing. but she never does this to my other siblings. also, i had to wear diapers and a pacifier until i was 15, and i slept in a crib and sat on a rear-facing car seat until i graduated middle school. however, my parents never do this or did this to any of my other siblings. they get so much independence, privacy, and freedom. if my younger sister kisses a guy, she doesnt get scolded at all. but when im at school, if my mom THINKS im looking at a girl, she beats me and yells at me. i also get constantly punished. every time i mess up by their standards, i have to wear diapers and a pacifier for 3 consecutive days. like i was struggling with my ap physics homework yesterday, and i sort of threw a tantrum. my mom barged into my room and called me a wimpy, pussy, sissy, so she beat me and yelled at me. i told her that im just not very good at physics, and this is ap physics c, but she didnt listen, and just called me a "whiny sissy dog". then she made me wear diapers for the next 3 days. my parents also control my life, but not my siblings. my mom says she wants to follow me to college and force me to major in medicine or engineering. on the other hand, they let my other siblings follow whatever dreams they want to pursue. i cant speak to my teacher, counselor, pastor etc because my mom follows me everywhere i go. also, i cant call the cps or police because my parents are constantly snooping through my devices.

I am in love with my dad's HALF first cousin which makes him my half second cousin. How do I tell my family that we're in love?

so basically i really want an ipad mini 5! it just came out and i'm obsessed with it !!!! so what i'm doing is taking bits of money from my dads wallet when he's asleep and saving it and right now i'm at 240$ so i'm getting close so maybe another week and i'll have the money to get an ipad mini 5. do u think my dad could notice i'm taking money? he hasn't noticed yet. i bought an apple pencil with his credit card and it came here and he didn't see that so i'm so obsessed with ipad minis i would date one if i could

Ok so I barely go to school because I know im gonna pass and I been doing this since freshmen year just passing really easy but I don't want to do college but I do plan on going to the military and investing stalks So I play a lot of video games it takes me off the street it stopped me from being gang affiliated and I never did drugs a day in my life anways my mom goes in the my room yelling saying your not about to graduate and this is my senior year I have 2 open periods because I have over the credits I need she goes in my room and smashes my computer everything and I just sit there and she says this is what you want your life to be all my brothers and sisters my older ones did drugs and wasted there years getting in trouble I never got in trouble ever im always the one taking care of my mom while they say shes lieing about depression I went with her to the er by my self 7 days in a same week and they kept on calling her drama why does she do this to me

She attacks people for example she called my cousin, her niece, fat and ugly.

My dad hates when me and my little brother stay up super late, like 8am is the latest we stay up and we wake up at 4 pm and he gets super mad and starts yelling and he threatened my little brother that he was going to beat him to death. I know it's a bad sleeping routine but I'm 16 and my brother is 14 and we are both homeschooled and we can't help but stay up late. Every night my dad pops in our room to check if we are up and if he sees we aren't sleeping he goes off and he goes off when we wake up too and starts insulting us saying we are lazy and we don't do crap. I feel very sad and scared.

I know it is my Dad's event for my sister and not me having the party but I fear it will paint me in a bad light since it will make our branch of the family look distant. I also feel really embarrassed that my Dad's family (which will be there) will be seeing us without my Mom's side and thus not know I am close to her side still. My mother died 8 years ago (just posted another question on that part) and so my Dad and siblings are distant from her side of the family. So my question is will my sister only having my Dad's side and not a big baby party with my Mom's side of the family make me look bad since all my cousins on my Mom's side do celebrate with the extended family when they have a baby and this sister of mine is not? Will I look less then my cousins also or just my sister? Will my reputation be lumped in with my Dad and siblings who are 2nd rate in my Mom's family?

I still live with my parents and usually they leave the house before I do. Sometimes, though, because they are teachers, they have days off of school that I don't. We only have one shower that you can use at a time. When I've explained in the past that I have somewhere I need to be and that I need to get into the bathroom, my dad either starts yelling and acts indignant I asked him politely to hurry up, etc. or I just don't say anything because I don't want to make him angry, which then causes me to be late. I'm sick of tiptoeing around but then having to deal with a bear when I address the topic. What can I do to explain to them the times I need to be somewhere? Oh and they forget if I tell them the night before, but as I soon as I tell them, my dad rushes around and exaggerates getting out of the way. What can I do to just get him to respond normally and so I'm not late places?

I care too much cause they are much more likely to include me if he goes. Not sure why that is but I guess they still see me as a kid. I am left out cause of who my Dad is as he is not kind to his former in-laws. He is not mean but just ignores them. My mother died 8 years ago and she was never close to her family as she was the type to hold grudges and past this bad trait along to my father. How do I get him to support me being in my Mom's family or otherwise how do I stop caring that I am marginalized in her family? They don't hate me, I am just overlooked cause my Dad is arrogant and distant and since my siblings don't care.

art: I tried that when I was younger and in grade school. He would not do it and kept saying "I promise, I promise" and guess what, come time to act on his promise, he said "uh, maybe" and was ready to go back on it though I had enough of a fit that he caved. He is a deceptive person.

Kids and unfortunately i feel like i was falling into that trap. Instead of taking my daughter out and doing things with her i would stick a tablet in her face and she would watch cartoons. Then i got with an older guy from a different generation and he opened my eyes and told me flat out that I need to stop doing that. Now we go out hiking and backpacking in the Mountains as a family and mountain biking and actually making real memories.

My sister was caught going through my mother's purse! I never would have pegged her for a thief but my mother said she's apparently done so quite a few times. But she is family!!!! How could someone do that to a family? Please tell me that she isn't the only family member out there to do this. Share your stories if any.

He doesn't want to go out with me because I drive Toyota while my brother drives BMW so he only want to go out with him. At the moment my audi is in the mechanics. Do you think is it fair?I feel very sad, help appreciated He doesn't want to go out with me because I drive Toyota while my brother drives BMW so he only want to go out with him. At the moment my audi is in the mechanics. Do you think is it fair?I feel very sad, and angry to him, do you think it's my fault?any help appreciated

People see me as this ***** jester/idiot or genius slacker, when I'm neither. I've done/said a lot of stupid **** because I depersonalize when confronted, and confrontation is how my entire family co-exists as their motto is 'love by obligation'. I am tired of living a lie, they keep claiming to 'know me' yet how can they 'know me' when I don't know my fckin self! I'm just afraid of backlash. I was brought up by 'fear' and 'respect', you know the style that I'm suppose to 'fear'/'respect' my grandmother because she's my grandmother alone. It's all monarch ********!

mother also has a successful brother with 2/3 houses, yet they are poor, unsuccessful, no money, yet they are nasty to me, compare me to other people my age, go on about ME getting a job when they are embarrassments, I miss out on so much because of them, they are also nasty to me all the goddam time, I F*CKING HATE THEM and God or life for allowing me to be born into this sh*tty family.

When I was 22-23 I travelled to Europe, I went to Ukraine, Russia, France, England and Ireland. I speak Russian fluently, and Ukrainian well as well as French fairly well so I would flirt with the local babes. Me and this one girl lets call her Dasha, dated while doing the study abroad and I got a Facebook message from her. She's living in Brighton Beach NY, and she has a son and she knows that Im the father. She sent me a picture and the kid at three looks just like me minus my eye color, he has his mother's green eyes. She said that she thought I should now about my son, she is a single mother who works as a waitress. She told me that she would've told me sooner but she couldn't find a way to contact me. Heres the catch, she said that the her son has amblyopia and needs surgery on the eyes and that she needs my help for paying for it. Im 25 she's 21. What do I do? Im so overwhelmed.

I just adopted a 13-year-old teenage boy. I, myself male, am 28. What should he call me? Dad seems weird because I'm still young.

I have a whiny sister who comes from moms house every weekend, sits in living room screaming til we entertain or take her somewhere (shes 17).. Im involved w the troops and do things sometimes, sister could care less about the troops. They invited me to their base about six months ago, to come see em before 75th anniversary of DDay. They're actually dad's friends and Im friends bc of him, so I didnt know how to reach out to plan details so I asked dad to do it. I kept asking him for six months to contact them then eventually had to go looking online for hours to find a way to contact them myself bc dad didnt do anything. I tell him they told me we could come in two weeks, to a base about 5 hours away from us. Then dad says that'll be a great family trip... This was MY event, dad hasnt done a single f*ing thing to help me and now he expects my whiny f*ing sister to take a 5 hour road trip with us... Went to my room crying cuz its bad enough shes here every weekend on my days off so I never get time without her and now he expects her to come on a trip that she has never showed interest in but will want to go now cuz she knows im annoyed... This is kinda a once in a lifetime thing for me and Im not going to take it with a whiny bitchy sister who will keep asking when we're leaving cuz her phones dead..... Do I just go alone though? I'm going no matter what, no hotel just driving both ways. Not worried about $, I got that, but havent driven alone for 5hr before..

My whole family acts as if we don't exist. My mom has problems and she blames everything on me. Lately I have been distancing myself from her but now she is doing the same thing to my little brother who is mentally disabled. He helps but he doesn't know how to handle abuse. He keeps telling me I don't live mom and that I hate her. Which isn't the case. I love her to death and him too. Now I am seeing myself becoming like my older brothers who left my mom for me to care for.. I used to hate them a lot but now I see how mom is. And I cannot live with her anymore. I feel like my pride is getting in the way of letting me rekindle the relationship between me and my brothers but to be honest they have said and done a lot of hurtful things to me too. I don't know if we can ever have to be same relationship before all this hate again. I am feeling so lost. I feel regret, hate. I feel like I can't control my emotions. I have a tendency to lash out and blame people for my mistakes but now I am trying to fix that. I just feel so lost. Like not having a supporting family. I just want some body to care for me. I feel like nobody cares.

I have a 3 year old baby girl who has a great relationship with my brother's gf, that's ok with me because I kinda like her and that makes me like her more. But tonight we were having dinner, and she was being hard because she didnt want to eat her veggies. My brother and his gf came to visit us, I politely asked her not to play with the child right now because she was eating dinner, even if my baby wanted to. But still she started to play with her and that totally got me in my nerves. I know it was wrong, but I got angry at my child because she wasnt eating or listening to me and for a minute I feel like a crazy person because I was also angry that she wanted to play with my brother's gf. Now I feel ashamed with her and sad because I got angry at my baby. I had to raise my voice so she would listen to me and I hate doing it during dinner time, I dont want her to associate my anger with her food time lol. So my question is Is this normal? How do I deal with it? Should I apologize to my sister-in-law?

Try to keep it short.. Mom pushed me to make tons of $$, I got liscense, car, job, then she wanted me to move out but said I could only move to apt in her rich neighborhood which I knew I couldnt afford... Moved in with dad to save more but I kinda pay more bills now than I thought and I dont know if I can support myself. At least I could save $ in a drama free house, then mom started going out of town and dad who can never say no, goes to get my whiny needy sister every weekend now... Shes 17 and expects everything cuz she hasnt had to work a f*cking day in her life and now I get the drama I tried to escape in the last house in this house too, every f*ing day I have off I have to hear a whiny f*ing baby screaming in the living room for us to entertain her cuz she doesnt have a f*cking car or liscense... Dad doesnt see a problem, wants a "big happy family", so every time mom leaves town my sister texts him and he just goes to get her... Sister said when she turns 18 (in about two mnths) shes moving in w dad cuz he wont make her get a job... Then this week work gave me Thurs and Fri off, then sister sends group text "hey guess what ur getting me Thursday this week"... Im f*cking tired of all of it but I don't know what it takes to live on my own... Work has been cutting down my hours a little so I may need to find new job to be able to move.. Would it be weird to live w grandparents? We lived there for yrs and gma didnt want me to move out and said they'd take me back...

My father recently passed away and I was living had been him and my stepmother for about 15 months before this occurred. Currently I am 15 and my Biological Mother is stating that I have to move in with her once the current school year ends. I do not wish to move in with her and instead I would like to stay with my step mother. She never adopted me but has agreed to do it should it come to that. I was hospitalized and in my papers it says that I shouldn't see her because she is my trigger yet she refused to acknowledge this. Is there anything I can do to stay with my Step Mother besides getting emancipated or am I just going to have to "suck it up" and move back in with my Mother? Both my Mothers residence and my current one reside in Illinois.

I'm twenty years old, I have autism, and my dad won't let me have my own independence. I really want to make my own money and spend it on what I want. I have other source of money that comes in every month but I can't use it. Due to my dad using it, and not allowing me to know my basic bank information, I'm just so mad, I don't know any other ways to make money for myself. I don't live close to a town or city, so I can't walk to any work place or any place to do quick jobs. My dad won't drive me anywhere for a job so that's out of the question. I honestly don't know what to do. I want to prove I can do something. But every time, my dad just doesn't see how hard I can do a job. I need advice on what I should do. I already do chores in his house and I try to also focus on my college work. Yet he still thinks I can manage everything and not stress about it. I do art school, so he doesn't exactly see that as hard work. No matter how much stress I get from assignments. Any advice would be nice. Thanks!

My very dear, kind and wonderful Mother may not live another week and at the age of 58, I have never been so deeply affected that I cannot eat or sleep and feel scared about the prospect of living without my best friend. I don't know if this makes any sense, yet I'm asking how your experience with a similar loss in your life might be helpful to me. Thank you. This is the worst day I have ever been through.

I am a 21 year old man. I have been giving every last ounce of my paycheck to my family (mother, stepdad, young siblings) since I was 13. I Never went to middle or High school, I only worked and was homeschooled. Growing up, my mom did not let me hang out with any friends ever. Not that I made many friends growing up homeschooled being completely socially isolated save for my interactions at work. My step dad refuses to work all the time. My mom always feels like she needs to convince him to stay so that he can support the family he has created (which he should, but my mom has grounds to leave him) She wants to be a stay at home mom, I could never take a day off work because I had to support the family. I also never saw a dime of my own money. I gave my checks to her and she handeled the rest. She made me promise to her that I would not move out or get married until I payed off her house and her debt because that is what a good son does, outs his life on hold for his mom. I started dating later on and she was a complete *** to my girlfriends. Told me to make them apologize to her for things that trust me, they did not do wrong. I moved out last year and now my mom only thinks I come around for money, but I do very well for myself and the reason I keep coming over is because I want a relationship with her. She used to cal my jobs and tell them I was stealing her car because she was mad at me. She threatens to sue me regularly. There is way more but there is a word limit.

My FATHER yelled at me rudely just because I yelled at my MOTHER because she is so annoying and I got mad and scraped my shoe against the wall and left a black mark at the wall and my FATHER became ******* crazy and I was so scared because he said that tomorrow I will be put away in a mental institution so I madly cleaned the wall. So my parents are evil inside...

I have to drive far out the way in order to get my son to work and back to work. He just got his license but it's going to be a while before he can afford a car as he just started working not too long ago. He is 18. Then I have to drive a far distance to my own job which is about a 45 commute. Then I have to drive my daughter to work. Then I have to drive my daughter to the grocery store every week to get food because she doesn't even know how to drive and doesn't even have her license. She is 26. It's wearing me thin all this driving i swear. And my wife will help me out occasionally with going to the grocery store but she always complains about how she's too tired to go. She'll even say she's too tired to pick up our son from work sometimes. We don't have a ton of money so most likely we will have to use my entire tax income check to pay for my sons car if he doesn't have the money soon. All this driving will have me in an early grave

My dad is 65 in three weeks and every time my mom asks him to close his business and retire he starts crying and threatens to kill himself. Essentially, they need to sell their $800K house and move into a smaller house in order to afford retirement. The house is 2400 sq ft, much too big for them and property taxes are over $600 a month. The business keeps losing money and my dad has blown most of his inheritance from my grandfather keeping it afloat. My mom says he either threatens to leave her or commit suicide when she talks about leaving. My father handles all the finances, my mother doesn't work, has never paid a phone or hydro bill or filed her own taxes.

My phone broke about 7 months ago and my mom refuses to buy me a new one.I m 15 years old and she tells me she wont get me one until i lose 40 lbs. I joined weight watchers and i ve been trying really hard and already lost 11. Although im just depressed, i cant talk to friends, cant call anyone, and if i want to do those things, i have to use her phone.It s been almost more than half a year and i can t go any longer because im very social. I dont know what i can say to her that ll make her change her mind. I need her to buy it for me before all her money is gone because of gambling. She weighs 320 lbs and everytime i talk to her about it she says "Eat healthy and lose the 40 lbs" , yet she takes me to mcdonalds and other fast food places all the time? Money isn't a problem either because she gambles and spends $240 every week at bingo

Hello, I have a situation that just happened today. So, I was moody today when my father told me to go with him for grocery shopping. I said okay and got ready. Of course I was moody but I wasn't really bothering him, just had an upset face and stayed quiet. So on the way to the grocery shop, I didn't speak a lot like I usually do and my father started to scream at me. "You and your sister have everything easy! Look at all the other kids! They are obedient to their parents! What about you? Your lazy and can't even do chores without us asking! Move out when your 18 okay? Your burden of living with us is too much for us to handle. Don't go crawling back to us when you can't live by yourself" He then points to a bum and says "Just like her! Say it! Say you'll move out when your 18! Your mother and I work more than our best to support you and your sister! Why don't you just be obedient?!" I'm really emotional but I never show it. In order to hide my pain and sadness, all I did was nod and look angry. I cried for a while and thought about this. I do my chores, other children don't even have chores (the ones that I know) and I try to get good grades. Im younger than 14, why would he say that to me?

I'm 18 and she's never mentioned anything about me driving. She said she wants me to drive when I'm 25 because I would be mature by then. She's never mentioned anything about me taking the bus, train or public transportation if I want to go somewhere. What the **** does she expect me to do? Have her drive me around and depend on her for the rest of her life?
