Question: Is it time to cut off my toxic parent?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 01:03 PM PDT

Background I'm an adult child of an alcoholic parent who is divorced from my father. She drinks heavily for about 12 hours each day everyday. She forgets birthdays, graduations, etc. didn't go to her own parents funerals and is so detached from me I sometimes wonder where the mother I had as a child has gone. It's painful that a relative a blood relative that is would forget milestones and refuses to be there when I need her. I was just given some medical news which required somebody to be close to help me with my recovery which she immediately refused to do. The only reason I haven't cut her out of my life is because I feel one day she will hit rock bottom and won't have anyone to turn to since she's alienated our entire family and has no friends.

Question: MY nephew Dylan got detention at school and I sobbed so hard they took me to the hospital. Why do people think something is wrong with me?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 12:23 PM PDT

What was wrong with doing this when my sister told me one of her kids had detention and I sobbed so hard I had to go to the hospital? Isn't this the role of an aunt?

Question: Should I say something to my mom about her drinking?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 12:06 PM PDT

Shes had a drinking problem ever since my dad left. She doesnt really drink on the week days, but shell often drink on the weekends. Well, my aunt broke her arm, so we are helping her. My mom is driving because I cant drive a shift I suspect she drank a little before we left. She has a slight slur in her words, and her voice sounds a little nasally. I know shes not drunk. Maybe a little buzzed though. I told her how her voice sounds, and she said shes just tired, which I kind of believe, because shes acting normal besides that, and shes driving normal. I feel like a bad person telling her not to drive, because she could end up hurting someone else or herself, but I know if I bring it up, than she will just get super defending, and than she go and drink even more. I'm 25, and I just moved back in, because I have no were else to go, and I want to get along

Question: What age should you be moved out of your parents house?

Question: Why is my dad such a d*ck?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 09:24 AM PDT

He always tells me I need to own up to my mistakes and apologize, and he never does it himself. Any time he f*cks up, he finds a way to turn it around on me and then it's my fault. He's always in a mood for no apparent reason. He can't hold a job for more than 2 months, and then he'll say he got "laid off". My mom is the one who pays all the bills and does everything, but he thinks his entitled to everything. If they divorced tomorrow he would literally have nothing. He makes a big deal about the smallest things. He's like a 52 year old man child when he doesn't get his way. Like he tries to tell me what I can do with my own body or possessions. I'm 18 so I pretty much own my things and my body so it's my choice, but he still feels like he needs to have constant control over me. My sister (20) and I smoke weed sometimes, not even in the house, and he thinks we're some kind of criminals just because it's illegal. Yet it's ok for him to do it. Why is he like this? Is there any way to get him to change?

Question: My parents are forcing me to go on vacation?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 06:52 AM PDT

I'm 15 and have gone on family vacations every year- we usually take two. I don't want to go this time, and I've respectfully told my parents that I don't want to go, and I'd rather stay home and make memories with my friends. I could stay at a friends or relatives. However, my parents have been downright rude to me. I was told I was grounded when we came back, I wouldn't have a say in the matter. I've always been a good kid to them, and do everything they ask, and do great in school. I'm really confused why this happens, because whenever I tell them what I want they can act extremely rude. I'm worried that my parents will physically force me to go, or hit me. They can be that type of way, and I'm scared that it will happen. I've told them they're neglecting me and offered solutions, such as where I can stay, but they've been no help. What do I do? I'm really scared that they'll hit me, and I'm just worried that something bad will happen.

Question: My sister tried to smother me quietly last night. I called the police and now my Mom is mad at me and not my sister. Why is she mad at me?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:42 AM PDT

My sister is now in police custody and I am so upset and scared.

Question: My Mom want me to come to her estate for Easter. What do I do if I have flashbacks while there to being estranged from extended family?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:39 AM PDT

We did not see my Mom's family when I was a kid. I got close to them when I got to be a teenager. However, family oriented holidays bring up that old estrangement wound from childhood. It is deep and my counselor calls it PTSD. So if I go over to my Mom's estate in the mountains for the holiday what do I do with the flashbacks and if an aunt back here invites me over after church and so I stay home how do I break the news to my Mom that I am not coming? I hate family oriented holidays cause they trigger the shame of me being unworthy and unlovable as a kid.

Question: What to do about mom , who is always furious?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:09 AM PDT

I left because the tension was hurting my body and I am way too old to put up with this. Also she kept yelling at me in public for things I have no control over. For instance, me spraining my ankle and my car dying. When I come to help, she treats me like crap and makes feel bad for not being a buffer for her non stop fights with my father. She blames me for my nieces and nephews not wanting to visit, because she is mean to them. She is also mad , I am friends with this older lady, and we do mother daughter stuff together. Because my mom doesn't go anywhere and thinks my interest are stupid. Everyone at work hates her too and she rants about that too. I thinks it's the starvation diet she is on , she can't eat anything but spinach and special shakes to lower her cholesterol. She was always bad, but the new cholesterol pills make her very aggressive. She doesn't sleep. I think she is starving, but she won't eat normal food. Because her quack diet guru says all normal food is bad. I left my soon to be ex husband several months ago and feel a lot better. But how do you leave your mom? I am not saying I am perfect , but geez... When people see me out in public with her. They are like you don't have to put up with that.

Question: What kind of flowers should I get my sister for her birthday?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 04:49 AM PDT

My big sister is 40 today. I'm planning on picking up a bouquet after work. What kind would be good?

Question: Afraid of the dark?

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 12:15 AM PDT

I'm a teenager who has her own room. I used to sleep with my mom due to lack of space but once my older sister moved out I got my own bedroom. I'm fine all the time but lately I would feel the need to sleep with the light on instead of off but instead of doing this I slept in my moms room. I feel much safer. It's not just because the light was off it was because I would close my eyes when the light is on and I felt fine and ready to sleep but I'd turn the light off and as soon as possible think of a demon figure choking me with it's bare hands. I don't think it's a matter of feeling safe around ones own mother either because my mom stays up late so her light is usually on and by the time she sleeps I'm unconscious. Is there a possible cause for this sudden feeling?

Question: Tonight, I stole my computer from my parent's room and my dad woke up and locked the room. I cant sneak it back. HELP?

Question: Would you be in your Mom side or Dad side, if this were to happen? I'm applying this if you were the daughter of your Mom and Dad?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 10:54 PM PDT

Well, the story starts like this. Mom is a hardworking mom making sure everything is good in the house and bills and does anything she can for you as a mom and is willing to go over her way to make you special and treats good and let's you be yourself also makes sure you are healthy and happy and Dad is a dad that can make you like he treats you good and claims he cares for you but wouldn't like you to be you and also can be demanding like you should like what I like and tells you that you are not worth nothing at times. Enforces that you have to like the opposite gender or else, he won't never like or talk to you. He has threaten me by saying. Claims he likes you and that you are a good daughter to him. But in reality, he wants to control you. In fights, he always blames your mom and bashing at your mom, getting physical. So would you be in your mom or dad's side? This is my story of what's happening in my life, a true story and always says that having a daughter would make him have support from him like defending him in arguments. I'm a boy but I want answers from girls that have a both, a Mom and Dad. I want to know in what side are you going to be on.

Question: Is it fair that I have to sleep in the same bed as my little sister who wets the whole bed every night?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 10:29 PM PDT

We are at a hotel and we have 3 bed, 2 queens and one pull-out couch. Right now my parents have one queen and me and my sister share the other, with the pull-out not in use. I think my sister should have to sleep on it simply because she still wets the bed and I don t want to be urinated on. Is that fair?

Question: My mother plays games too much?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 10:11 PM PDT

So any of you parents know that frustrating feeling when your kids ignore you because they're playing your game? Not even talk to you, just straight up ignore you? That's exactly how my mom is with her stupid PUBG app on her phone. She constantly uses it the whole entire day and will ignore me when I'm asking her stuff. She even tells me to not call me mom when she's playing because " It's embarrassing when she's on mic. " and she acts like a childish kid too cussing out people when she doesn't get her way.

Question: My mom kicked me out last week before she went on vacation she put her vivint alarm on how do I get in her house w/out setting an alarm off?

Question: Making half jokes?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 09:06 PM PDT

My sister calmed down after I spent a few grand on a few big, nice things for my house... I told her this.. There is a reason why kids should listen to both parents, and be a little closer to their moms.. Because the father teaches the kid job skills, discipline and determination and personal security... I bring that to work with me. And a mom teaches the kid how to have a nice house to come home to and spend their days off in. And teaches the kid how dress and be attractive. Mom's don't have storks visiting them.. She went out and found a man... She was attracted to somebody.. She knows what she wants to come home to, date and get her f)uck on with. Lol My sister, niece and two friends from work all laughed their butts off.

Question: Do you think this is a good reason for a divorce?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 07:52 PM PDT

This is NOT my case since I'm not married or dating right now. Say if someone decides she wants to have a big family like 3-6 kids and makes sure to discuss this with their partner when they discuss marriage, kids, etc. and the partner says yes then they get married but suddently their partner decides that he/she doesn't want anymore kids after they have 1-2 but the one who wants more doesn't agree can this be a valid reason for a divorce?.

Question: Why does my dad treat me like a kid?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 07:49 PM PDT

Obviously. I know im not an adult, but my dad treats me like im 12. Im his oldest child, and i live with him. I have one half sister but she lives with her mom. Im 17 years old (im a girl if it matters) with a 10pm bed time. I make super good grades, I work, I play violin and etc. So i would think he'd cut me some slack but it's almost like i can't do anything. He says he wants me to go out but he won't even let me go to the mall by myself. I just want to grow up some. I need advice.

Question: My little brother is a bigot. Please help.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 07:20 PM PDT

He is 14, he hasn't had a haircut in years, and he looks as though he hasn't brushed his hair or teeth in just as long. I can't remember the last time I heard the shower running upstairs. He is always in his room on his laptop. He used to collect beanie babies and was afraid of bees. Now, he cusses at my father, and treats my mom, the nicest lady on the planet, like a slave. He often calls me a fag (I'm a lesbian). He snaps sometimes, though, and I get scared. Once he said he'd kill me after I suggested he spend less time on his laptop. He has mentioned grilling my guinea pigs/attaching them to our roomba and sending it down the stairs. He frequently lashes out at my dad. Whenever he has his friends over, I hear them shouting sexist and racist things as they play first-person shooter games. Despite having many friends who are similar to him, he often mopes about how he has no friends and how the world has somehow wronged him We are an upper-class white family and my father owns multiple rifles that he stores in unlocked cabinets. He fits the demographic of every school shooter I can think of. I've heard from other kids at school that he's often rude and violent to "jocks," which to him just means anyone who doesn't like the same things he does. Am I wrong to be afraid of him? You have to understand, we are in the same school district as Columbine high school. We've been on our toes for all of our lives and I can't help but wonder. I don't know what to do.

Question: My mom refuses to tell me what hospital nursing home my father is in, should I call the police?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 07:18 PM PDT

I tried calling the nursing homes in my area, no luck.

Question: How do i tell my mum that she’s discriminatory for not letting me see my two schoolmates outside of school cause of their situation ?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 07:04 PM PDT

I'm 14,and my mum wants to steer me away from two kids cause we found out theyre in some kind of foster group home. We're still in the same friend group and have classes together,but only at school. My mum says at school, teachers supervise us and its safe. But if its elsewhere, she doesn't know what these kids might do since no adult is present. I pointed out that she isn't that cautious when it comes to my OTHER friends,and she says it's because those friends come from good homes with good stable families. She told me theres a reason why theyre in a foster group home, not with their parents and not getting adopted. Then reminded me that people from "poorly raised", unstable homes might act in unusual ways that people from good homes don't, that's why she wants to "protect me" from things they might do (in her words). When my dad got home last night, he said my mum has a point and that hes witnessed how an unstable kid might act. Its not fair because all my other friends' parents aren't shielding them away from particular people, but mine are.

Question: Where Is My Son?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 06:25 PM PDT

In the summer of 2016, my only son decided to end all contact with me or anyone related to me. No reason was given, honestly. It should be known here that my ex-wife always yearned to separate me from my son. He turns 21 in July. I will be free from the child support unit this summer after years of weekly deductions from my check but this means nothing to me without him in my life. Admittedly, I was not the best husband on earth but I was a great dad. I have reached out to my son via email, cell phone, and postal mail service since 2016 but to no avail. What do you say? Can anyone reading this post relate to my heartbreaking situation? If so, share your story. P. S. Do not reply by telling me to contact my son. If you make such a statement, you did not understand my post.

Question: Custody orders unintentionally violated?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 06:07 PM PDT

I have joint legal with final say. The other parent gets 2 visitations a month and three phone calls a week for 30 minutes. It does not specify days. my son doesn't always want to talk to the other parent for 30 minutes and sometimes refuses to get on the phone. There has been maybe one or two times within the last month that we did not call the other parent 3 times because of our busy schedule. School, practice, family events, vacations, homework, therapist, etc. Sometimes the other parent doesn't even answer. The other parent is going to make complaints. The other parent complains about anything & everything possible. I have my son call 3 times a week Monday through Sunday. Now the other parent is telling us we have to call Sunday through Saturday & is trying to penalize me for anything possible. Could I be introuble for this kind of thing?

Question: I hate my mom?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 05:44 PM PDT

I think I said "'I hate my mom" because i am very mad right now, but I really don't hate her. I am an athlete, and a very good one. Every time I have a bad competition, my mother always says "why didn't you do good?" or "look at you, you did terrible" and I tell her to stop bringing it up, but everything we talk about, she'll bring up my failures. I get so mad about it. Today. I just had a competition, and I didn't do good. She called me and said "You did so horrible. Look at everyone else. Your team mates did good except for you. Comparing with last year, you did worse. Look at you". I got so mad I didn't know what to do. She'll bring other things up too about how she spends so much time and money for this and it all goes to waste. She is rarely positive about any of my competitions and always compares me to my other team mates. I am the best one on the team and my mother always says "Be careful... *name* is going to be better than you if you keep doing horrible". I understand she wants me to do good, but HATE it when she says things like this. What should I do? If I talk to her, she'll just bring up all the failures.

Question: How do I have a rational argument with my parents.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 05:20 PM PDT

Without my parents getting pssed off that I stay calm while they are shouting at me. Whenever it has happened before, I won, and ended up getting called an asshole for being right, but it is better than losing just because you cant shout at your parents. The fact that they are allowed to shout gives them a huge advantage, because they dont have to worry about supressing their emotions. (I dont ever shout btw, I have been training to hide my emotions for a couple of months now. I dont neccisarily want to win, I want for who is actually right to win, and than cant happen when one side is shouting, and the other cant.

Question: Child's g-ma is taking me to court for visitation all because my daughter doesn't feel comfortable going to her house right now.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 04:59 PM PDT

Hello, so my daughter is 7 years old and she has a decent relationship with her father's mother. She gets my daughter every other weekend or every 3 weeks. Her son is barely in the picture. I've never had an issue with letting my child visit her grandmother until I noticed my daughter's emotional well-being was not in a good place. She was having issues at school and home due to her father's absence but she's gotten so much better thanks to counseling and my mother stepping in and going up to her school as well. Well lately my daughter has been acting strange whenever her grandmother calls so I listened in on one of the conversations. Her grandmother and father who was on 3-way with her were asking her who was all at me and my husband's house, what part of the house were we in, who is she sitting next to, is anyone messing with her. I'm thinking to myself, "are they going to ask her how she's doing or how is school coming along?" So I asked my daughter if they do that to her a lot and she said it's her grandmother and she makes her feel uncomfortable with a lot of the questions. She said her grandmother even asked her if my mother was touching on her private parts. I decided to keep my daughter with me for a few weeks to let everything die down and I had a talk with my daughter and she said she doesn't care. She said she doesn't like going over there that much anyways because she gets asked so many questions. Am I wrong for the actions I decided to take to protect my child?

Question: Can this teacher actually get fired just because a bunch of 16-17 year olds made up fake stories about him?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 04:50 PM PDT

These kids at my school made fake profiles of a teacher online to make him sound like a pedophile. They did it by stealing pictures of little kids and saying "she's so hot/sexy" under his name. It's been confirmed that the IP addresses don't match his computer device. A few people still do believe the stories because it went wild. All those 11th graders have gotten suspended. His reputation went down, and none of it is even true. It was just a bunch of teens who thought it was perfectly okay to do this.

Question: Advice please anyone?

Question: Is it wrong that I dont want my mom to live with me?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 03:35 PM PDT

She is 62 now. She makes 9.50 an hour on her job. She is divorced from my Dad but they had been living together for the past 4 years because she cannot afford to live on her own. Now he says she cannot continue living with him unless she agrees to be in a relationship with him.

She doesnt know the computer well but she refuses to take free classes to learn it. Keeps making excuses. She doesnt try to watch YouTube videos to improve her computer skills either. At one point I was sending her job links with better pay and she got mad at me saying I was overwhelming her. I only send 1-2 job links ever few days. I love my mom and care for her but My sister and I are going to take her to look at apartments and see what she can afford. My mom is healthy, and not disabled at all.

Question: Why are American families so weak these days compared to the 1950s?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 03:24 PM PDT

There's been a rise in divorces, a decrease in the marriage rate at the same time. Fewer and fewer are marrying and starting families at all. Wives are holding full time jobs with kids in daycare instead of being at home raising the kids. More babies being born out of wedlock than ever. Sky high rates of abortion since 1973 even. Now same sex marriage is legal even.

Question: How can I cheer my dad up (my parents just got divorced)?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 02:55 PM PDT

I'm married with a son but my dad lost custody of my little sisters in high school a few weeks ago and he's really gone downhill. He's been spending a lot of time with his dad and brothers and he keeps apologizing telling us he failed us all. We all keep offering to take him on a week long lake trip, and I even suggested we pin our money together and buy a sports car, but all he's done the last few weeks is stay at his cousins house and he's been drinking heavily. Guys I'm really concerned about him. What should I do?

Question: Why do people favor the sister over the brother in the family?

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 02:43 PM PDT

I'm 18 and am gonna move into a homeless shelter soon and finish senior year. I actually like my sister we talk all the time and I don't hold it against her. But since I was little she's always been seen as the smart one and They just told me I'm annoying and weird. I'm autistic and they always gossip about it and how it makes me like I am and how I am just lazy and all that. When I was little my mom always told my sister I was autistic but never me and asked her for parenting advice and when my mom gave me privileges my sister would usually tell her I shouldn't have them for whatever reason and so my mom listened to her and I only found out I was when I was 13 through my sister when we were fighting. My grandpa that's alive every time I see him my sister is there and she leaves stuff in the sink and everywhere and he yells at me about it but never her and talks nice to her but just yells at me even when I try to just be respectful. My other grandpa is dead and I always hated him I moved in with him when we were 7 and he called me a pos and my sister an angel and I got a cot and she got her own bed and my grandma just doesn't ever say anything to my anymore. And he's dead now and used to hit me and the last thing he told me in the hospital before he died was he didn't want me there and I hear my family worship him as a hero 24/7. I just don't know why everybody has always liked her more than me
