So I'm a teen and my mom has a friend that I thought of as a uncle because my half brother and sister had a mom who he was married to long story short after about 6 years they got divorced and he started coming over here often and my mom and stepdad are getting divorced but my mom said that he was like a little brother but I didn't see him that much so I only got good vibes from him but he comes over like every week or every other and I just get bad vibes and a unsettling feeling in my stomach and I tried to tell my mother but she told him saying that I felt like he was trying to replace my dad but that's not it. He started saying things like "One day you're going to curl up on me." and things like that and it just makes me very uncomfortable and I can't avoid him because I'm home schooled and he comes over at those times before my friends get home I tried to tell my mom countless times but she kinda ignores it and he kind of makes me scared what do I do?

I am 37 and live alone. I try to keep in contact with my parents but it seems like they dont want to have any contact with me. If i let them know - i have a health issue like I have an rash - my doctors wants to run a test on or my doctor thinks i might have glaucoma - they tell me not to pursue it or get help - they claim everything with me is hyped up. But if its my father -its considered serious. Whenever i try to make plans with them - i usually get stood up where they make up an excuse or dont contact me to follow up on it. Recently i took a day off to spend time with my mom - i called her - she told me to come over and when i showed up - i was told that she was taking the dog to the vet and she was busy. Why wouldnt she tell me this? why waste my time? I am not sure if i should stop pursuing a relationship with them. Its the same on holidays - they dont really want me there and if i show up - they will pursue other hobbies or watch tv or play an game till i just get up and leave. What do you think? Thank you.

I'm 15 and my sister is 19 years old. I was talking to my mom about something and my sister was there too and she said something. I told her it was none of her business & I wasn't talking to her.. my mom got mad at me for saying that. But they do not care whenever my older sister says anything to me.

mother always told him not to talk to black ppl but today some older black guys that looked around late 20s came knocking on our door looking for my brother mickey he's 16 i called him to the door and they asked if he's mickey he said that's the name dont wear it out then they proceeded to kick the crap out of him and left I was going to call to the police but he said no while getting up he wiped the blood out his mouth chuckling said him and his friend jasper where going to take care of those knee grows , should I call the police behind his back before things get out of hand ?

She is very old and unmarried and prays regularly, but she has nasty personality. Like she tried to brainwash me one time she called me her mom and that one time I insulted her she said you are insulting your mom but then she said very mean and dirty things to me multiple times and she never apologized. I said to her no mom or aunt says that to a person, and she said get away from my face and that I'm not her daughter. She talks about marriage in bad way for me and I never talk about it. It weird, like why cant she act nice and normal like other people? How can she call herself my mom then say the meanest things and she never apologized for it? She is very weird, she doesn't cook or clean for me, One time I was coughing and vomiting my cousin asked my aunt to make me tea she said when I wake up. I ask her why didnt you get married she said better maybe I get bad kids like you. I said when I was bad? if you good to your parents you get good kids. Why cant she be normal?

The thing is I don't have much family, my parents have passed away and me and my sister don't see eye to eye on a lot of things. Now I was close to this family member but every time she speaks to me she would say a lot of hurtful things and if I tell her about it she would justify. So the last time I spoke to her she said a strong of hurtful things so I told her sister about it. Then she got really upset saying why didn't I say something. She got so mad that i told her sister she never wants anything to do with me ever. I felt so bad I apologised for telling her sister. Even though she was in the wrong now she is making me feel guilty. The other thing is we rarely see each other, maybe once a year. What can I do.

Everything she does in her life she always says "but she..." EVERYTHING! I'm sick of it! I can't stand it anymore!!! She doesn't study, gets bad grades and she's like "but natalie wouldn't study and she would get A's!". Somebody talks bad to her and she says "yeah of course they would nice to natalie!" She doesn't get sth she wants, "natalie would get it tho!" Sometimes she doesn't even study and when our mom tells her to do so she goes "natalie wouldn't study either!" I can't stand this anymore omgggg it makes me so mad!!! Our parents NEVER compared us and they always said that we are different and we have different talents. Then why does SHE do it? I'm tired of hearing her saying my name! Everything wrong she does, she always uses my name as an excuse! WHY?

I see mothers give comfort to their kids all the time doesnt matter how old they are and especially if they are sick and have fever. Ever since i turned 18 my mom never gave two f about me im 25 now. But she give a f about my younger sister who's 20 wether she's sick or not. Idk.

I don't understand that and probably never will......

I m going to turn 19 in a month and a few days and I work in a restaurant at a touristic village (Kakopetria) in Cyprus. Me and my mother left Romania for Cyprus two years ago. I don t like living in Cyprus forever. It s a boring and small country. Its economy is as poor as Romania s and I want to get my bachelor s degree either in French literature or nursing in a better country like Germany or France. Two months ago, I was washing the dishes in the restaurant while watching outside of the window. I saw a young man in a black custom, sitting in front of the restaurant and crying. I wanted to help him somehow, so I gave him a glass of water. His hands were shaking and I saw he was going to faint. I brought him inside the restaurant and called the ambulance. He kept crying and asking me not to call for help, but I did, because I was alone and my mother was almost faraway and I wasn t sure if I could help him on my own. So I closed the restaurant and went with him to the hospital to make sure if he s alright. When he felt better he left the hospital and thanked me. He came back back to me after a week and gave me a bunch of roses with a silver necklace to thank me. I told him that I can t accept his gift, because I didn t do much for him, but he told me that if I didn t take him to the hospital, perhaps he wouldn t arrive to his father s funeral at the right time. Then he asked me to walk with him. While walking he explained to me that he s a 28 year old Italian man and when his parents got divorced when he was a child, his father moved to Cyprus to have a quiet life in this village. He was raised by his mother, but he went to see his father at least once a year. His father died due to a heart attack. Anyways, he works in a shampoo factory as an accountant and he s becoming quite rich. He looks very dark and depressed and I guess that s because his father is dead. In these months we hanged out several times and last night he asked me for a date. I accepted and the he proposed me for marriage and I didn t know what to say. He said that if I marry him he ll take me to Italy and he ll help me enter into a good university. I m quite confused now. I told him that I need to think about it. If I move to Italy my mother will have to work alone. What about her? What about my father who s ill and he s waiting for our money for a surgery (he has problem with his kidney)? Wouldn t that be cruel to leave them?

Let me explain before you say "You have to love your sibling". She is very unappreciative and never thanks me or my parents for anything. I have bought her food in the past and other things and she says "That's it for me?!" or she says "I don't like that!" or something negative and she worries constantly. Keep in mind she's highly educated I mean she has a masters degree yet I'm the one with the disability (I have aspbergers) yet I appreciate all the things my parents do for me and I have always told her "You're lucky mom and dad don't charge rent. I also told her "You're lucky you have the choice to live anywhere you want in the world yet I'm stuck where I'm at since I flunked three different schools nine different times but I do know when someone isn't being very nice and am intelligent enough to know she's always been ungreatful… It bothers me. Then she throws an attitude problem around. I actually feel bad for my parents because I know they won't live forever yet she treats them this way where I will buy things for them (food/groceries) and yet she won't... Plus she has a better job than me and I ALWAYS thank my parents (even if it's food I don't like) for all the hard work they have done. I obviously don't care for her BUT I don't hate her. We don't hang out and even grown up now we each have our own group of friends. Is this okay? I think it is.

Alright so after getting caught high a while back my parents too my truck, switched me schools and even made me quit my job. Now i have nothing to do and 3 days ago i snuck out to go to a party, i came drunk af and it all would've been good but i dropped the curtain and forgot to put it back. Now they wanna make me stay in their room and not let me out at all what am i supposed to do im 16 im trynna have fun, but they said if i ever snuck out again they'll kick me out of the house, but what is there to lose they wont even let me out during the day anymore, what should i do?

I'm a 22 year old Cosmetologist. My family doesn't like me for jealous reasons. They try to sabotage me every chance they get. My mom is very strict and she demands money. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my Mom and sister. My mom sleeps on the couch and does everything she can to stop me from moving out. I think it's sick...she prioritizes other things over bills and rent. I went through hell just to get my drivers license every morning she would get up and say she doesn't have gas etc, she lost her car and now she's trying to use me to get her another one. No one understands what I go through or the mental abuse I've experienced. They say just leave and it's not that easy. I recently just unfriended and cut off several family members. I'm ready to move on from my family this year but, I don't know if I should move to another city or another state? I live in Arkansas.

I hate my step siblings. I'm 17. My mom remarried. I actually like my stepfather, but my step siblings are monsters. The two of them are terrible. All they do is go out and party and do drugs (not weed, serious drugs like ecstasy and cocaine). One time the house got trashed because they threw a party in it without asking my mom and stepdad. Another time, I caught my step sister screwing some guy in my mom and stepdad's room. She has also slept with a lot of my mom and stepdad's friends. My step brother has actually beat people up and hit women. He even broke my mom's windshield when he got mad, and called her a c*nt. But despite all this, my two step siblings always blame me for everything. They can do all this, yet the second I have a messy room or a roll my eyes they go ballistic talking about how I have an attitude and how I'm disrespectful and how I'm a bad kid. They actually believe the words they're saying. They're so hypocritical. All they do is wait for me to do something then judge me, as if and they're in a place to judge anyone with all that they've done and continue to do. How do I deal with them?

I'm 23 I have 3.95 gpa in accounting and I have two more years to graduate at a university. My dad complains to me how I'm a loser, i stay in my room all the time studying, telling me I have no stress. He calls other people smart, it hurts me. He doesn't believe in me. I didn't even want him at my graduation when I got my A.A. Degree because he didn't believe in me then. I'm trying as best as I can but I can't move time fast, I can't do anything to impress my dad. My mom doesn't even believe in me either she doesn't want to have anything to do with me. I wish I had normal parents. Living on my own while going to school won't work. Once I take my accounting courses I have four years to finish it or else those credits disappear. If I work and support myself it will take me longer to get my bachelors degree.

why does my mom hate me she is always yelling at me and degrading me by calling me names I hate it so much. also she is always blaming me for stuff I did not do. she does this all the time and I have not done anything to her. when she gets mad and I ask her a question that she thinks I stupid she says "THATS NOT IMPORTANT GO AWAY AND STOP ASKING ME SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS" then she will mock me. she always takes her anger out on me my sister and my brother. if she is mad enough she will practically beat us, like last time I accidentally got a few drops of Yoo-hoo on her leg and smiled, she started calling me a psychopath and a lunatic then she told me to go do pushups so I did, but while I was doing them she said "only lunatics would laugh at that" and I said " I did not laugh I smiled" and she came over and smacked my head into the glass of our door and picked up a box and started hitting me with it, she then said "HAHAHA THAT WAS SO FUNNY I HOPE IT HURT" and went into the kitchen. I don't like It here can some one tell me why she hates me?

My dad has never been there for me growing up because he always had "other things" that were more important than me this caused him to miss all my birthdays,cheer completions,drama performances,volleyball games,and other big events in my life.When I was 14 my mom found out my dad had been cheating on her thier entire marriage but didn't devorce him.I'm now 16 and my dad is very sick (he's been sick my whole life but now its really bad) he was recently diagnosed with some brain disease that makes it hard for him to walk,drive,hold conversations,and all kinds of other things because of this he can't work or drive meaning my mom has to work while I stay home taking care of him.Its not fair I should be out running the streets with my friends not taking care of some pathetic old man that's never cared about me.I feel like my mom should just kick him out but he can't take care of himself because of how sick he is and none of his family lives in America so we've been stuck with the burden of taking care of him but I'm to the point I don't even care and I want him out of this house.Please share your advice and have a blessed day. -Taylor

The girl is 16 years old but she bullies younger children. She's had a history of bullying people since KINDERGARTEN (it's a small neighbourhood, most people know each other so that's how I know her history). She has symptoms of oppositional defiance, or some other behavioural issues. Many parents have tried talking to her family in an attempt to resolve conflict. They've brushed it off or even claimed their kid would never do it. Most of the time, these folks aren't even home.

I was recently prescribed sleep aids to take regularly because I've been struggling with sleep disorders but I don't take them all the time because sometimes they give me bad nightmares or sleepwalking and make it difficult for me to wake up. Since my parents found out I was skipping doses some nights they've been worried bc they are hardcore believes in drs and meds fix everything. Anyway, i went to visit them this pasts weekend when I went over to visit them and my mom suggested some herbal supplement since they knew I wasn't planning to take the sleep aid that night. initially, I thought it was a super potent supplement bc the ones I used in the past never worked but the next day, when I told my mom about how strong it was and how it "worked" she basically explained that she swapped the contents from the supplement capsule with my sleep aid one. i immediately felt betrayed and have felt paranoid ever since. I'm sure my dad knew about it bc she wouldn't have done it unless he agreed. I know I'm their son and im only 18, but im an adult now and don't even live with them anymore. Even though the medicine was prescribed to me and i wasnt taking it consistently i still feel like they were wrong to do what they did. I was mainly in shock when i spoke to my mom earlier but now i feel like i should do or say something about it but dont even know where to begin. What should I do?

I am a teenager. At school, everybody knows me as being the shy and awkward, but really nice. But when I get home, I sometimes act opposite to my twin sister and grandma, the people I spend the most time around. At least once a day, I get really angry and start yelling really loudly at them for stupid reasons because I'm tired from school. Sometimes I even hit my sister. But then, after doing that, start hating myself and feeling really guilty for it. It makes me feel depressed. When I'm not yelling at them, I'm either being my normal, nice self or a total *****, and it changes in an instant. But when my parents get home, I'm once again back to normal. I always say i'm going to try and stop doing that, but I never do. Is it just teenage mood swings or should I get some help?
