Whenever my aunt greets me and my family when she visits our house she cups her hands on my cheeks and gives me a big fat kiss on the lips with her red lipstick, leaving a sticky red stain on my lips. My family thinks nothing about it. What should I do? I've tried to say something about it but my mom says it's normal.

I feel very depressed right now. I'm a 16 year old girl and my brother is 22. He's severely autistic and he needs me or one of our parents to dress him up and wash him. He's nonverbal. The only things he can do independently are sitting on the toilet and walking, running and playing in the garden with our dog. He's as innocent as a little boy and whenever I feel sad I talk to him, though I know he won't reply, but when he looks into my eyes and listens to me I feel so relieved. I'm very fond of him and I know he's very emotionally dependent on me. I take care of him as if he's my younger sibling. My parents have recently discussed about sending him to a group home. I told them that if they feel frustrated, I can take care of him on my own, but they said that in two years I need to move out and go to the college and then I won't have the time to look after my brother. They believe that he must get used to the life away from us, but without him I feel extremely depressed. I can't live without him! All the crazy things I do with him, all the happiness in my life, will be lost if my parents send him away. I have no friends and my classmates bully me, because I'm too skinny and freckled with soulless blue eyes and ridiculous red hair and my only true friend is my brother. I've tried hard to convince my parents to let him stay, but they don't want to listen.

My father has stage 4 cancer and my family and I are trying to raise money for him on GoFundMe. How can I get the word out?

He won't stop yelling at me for being moody when I can't help it. This makes life harder and I need it fixed.

And what would be your reasons why?

I'm 19. I've never gotten started on driving. I will not simply because I don't want to study the book. There's been so many things I haven't achieved because of studying, but it doesn't really bother me. My parents are so mad that I don't drive and they're kinda saying I have to get my license. How can I make this stop?

My daughter- 22 dates a woman -20 . She is at our house everyday til about 10 pm spends the night Friday thru Sunday. She used to spend the night all the time and had all her clothes hanging til I told my daughter she doesn't live here she's not on the lease with me n my daughter so she should go home at night. She buys things for my daughter and granddaughter but never pays a bill. I don't want her to stay here but it's almost like I don't have a choice should I charge her rent?

My fiancee have been planning a trip to Europe for the last 6 months. It would be me, her, and her parents for 2 weeks in Europe. Tomorrow is our trip and yesterday my grandmother, whom I m really close to, is in the ER. She had a really bad accident the other day and I can tell she s getting closer to the end of it all. It breaks my heart to see her so fragile and small. I m really not sure how long I have left with her. If I don t go on this trip then my fiancee will be really sad, but I know she ll be understanding, but still really sad. If I do go then I could have spent two weeks with my grandmother for whatever time she has left. I don t live near my family so this would be one of the longest times I would get to be with them. Everyone wants me to go to Europe and enjoy myself but I just don t know. I just don t want to come back and something happened and I missed out. What would someone do in my situation?

Two days ago, me and my sister (well, half-sister - we both have the same mother) went to see Avengers: Endgame AGAIN! This was my fourth time seeing it, her third time seeing it, and our first time together. I'm a 24-year-old male, and she's 16-years-old. We were so hyped to see it as we're massive Marvel fans. During this one scene (I'm not posting spoilers because of the spoiler rule), I cried so much that I was super loud. Everyone was crying, but I cried so loud that the entire theatre could hear me. People were shushing me to be quiet, but I couldn't. As we came home, my sister shouted at me and said I ruined it for her and I was so embarrassing and that I should be ashamed of myself for embarrassing her. Should I apologise to her? Should I be ashamed?

When I got out of high school, I had a hard time finding a job. I finally found a job with good pay and a GREAT boss. One day in his office I saw his high school graduation picture on his wall. I told him that my mom went to the same high school. He asked me her name in school. When I told him, he said "I knew your mom in high school. I can see were you get your good looks. She was the most beautiful girl in the school." WOW was that nice to hear. He asked if I had a picture or my mom now. I said no. He said "I would like to see her again to catch up on old times. Why don't you let me take the two of you to lunch some time. I said "great I would arrange it". It sounded like that would be fun. When I told my mom about this she said she did not want to see anyone she went to high school with. When I ask her why she told me she had gained 10 pounds since she was in high school and didn't feel like she looked good. I told her 10 more pounds in 20 years and after 3 kids did not change her great looks. She still looked great. How can I convince her she is still beautiful and should join us for lunch? Would taking her to get her hair and nails done and helping her buy a new dress make her change her mind? It is always good for your job to make your boss happy don't you think? Moms and others, PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS.

Ok basically, my mother s boyfriend is abusive to my mom s kids. Emotionally abusive. He will constantly call us worthless, stupid, having no future, etc. He also tries to tell my mom how to raise her kids and push his religion on me (I m an atheist). They also constantly argue, and he gets kicked out and they break up multiple times a month, one time he even tried to kill us (with a knife, he broke the living room window with it). Last argument they had, he had taken the Valentine s Day card I bought for my boyfriend and signed his name on it, giving it to my mom. My mother and I have discussed how he makes my mom s mental health worse, but she can t help but be with him. Any help? BTW, I m 15 and still live with my mother. I even have a more stable relationship with her, she acknowledges this a LOT. On the last part, I meant to say even I, a girl 20 years younger than her, have a more stable relationship than my mom. My boyfriend and I are roughly the same age when he and I argue, we resolve it by explaining the problem and what bothered us, how we will work to fix it, and apologize to one another, where when they argue they start yelling about how shitty each other is and can get physical.

I'm just asking because it's really hard for me to be a parent because my girlfriend who I made my daughter with died 5 months ago in a car accident. I'm still sad over it and I cry every night. Everytime when I tuck my daughter into bed, she motivates me to wanna do better. I have a full time job and my brother watches her sometimes for me and my sister does as well. Anyways what do you guys think I can do to become a great dad?

My older daughter's birthday was yesterday and my dad invited my mom and her husband along with my step sibblings. My mom and I never really got along since she always was telling me "I should have aborted you" and things like that. Everything was going fine until her husband started critizing the way I live. Telling me I was a coward because I couldn't fix my marriage with my ex wife and that my young daughter needs her mother. I tried ignoring him to the point where I couldn't allow him to keep disrespecting me in my own house, so I told him is none of his business and that if he can't enjoy my daughter's birthday like everyone was doing he should leave. Worst thing I did, my mom heard me telling him that and she literally beat my face, broke my mouth and have my face scratched. I work restlessly to provide to both of my kids and I have dedicated myself to raise my daughter alone because her mother didn't want her. My mom beat the **** out of me in front of everyone, I wasn't even being disrespectful to him, my dad noticed and made them leave. He also apologized because he was feeling guilty. Everyone was staring at me with pitty, so I left. The mother of my first child keeps on calling and I don't know if it's too fight because I left my daughter's birthday or to check up on me. What would any of you do, if you where in my position? I did leave my own house, I leave and take a walk when I feel like losing it. I wasn't going to lose my head at my daughter's party. My daughter loves her grandmother, and my dad invited her without me knowing they just showed up together. My daughter got all happy and that's why I didn't ask them to leave. According to my mom, I was the one who ruined my daughter's birthday. I don't want to hurt my mom no matter what she is. That is why I didn't call the cops on her.

My prosthetic leg broke. It is going to be six week until I can get it replaced. In the mean time, I wanted to use a wooden peg leg from an old pirate costume I have. I teach preschool children for a living.

It might be just me, but I'm the youngest in my family and only boy but when I am at home my sisters come and tickle me all the time. I told them to stop and they said that's just what big sisters do. I told my mom and said just to be a good sport about it and just let them tickle you. I really don't like it as they do it at random moments even my friends are around, which is embarrasing

So today, I am piecing a huge Poseidon figurine using scrap wood chips, and my mom came in to ask me what I wanted to eat. When I just wanted to respond (politely), a segment just came off of the figure's arm. As an instinct, I cried "No!" but it is not directed at my mom. She got angry and gave me the silent treatment. I swear that I did not mean any disrespect, to her, I only acted out of instinct because a segment fell. How can I convince her that I am sorry for whatever tf I did? (Also before any of you ******* tell me to be ashamed of myself read the description)

First, I have been with my husband for 23 years. As things progressed, we were really young..17 years old, I noticed my mother in law was alienating me, and blaming me for her son's problems They told me the mother had problems as well. She seems to over spend money, enjoy alienating others Tonight, our son had a going away party, and we all got together. She physically attacked me...so we left. She put her hands around my throat, and I have scratches be on my arm from the attack Then her mom, family and friends took her side...blamed me...even though she started the whole thing, and kept rowling herself up and coming after me. ( She's also very jealous of other women) They took her side, my husband believe s this was premeditated, and that his mom got his sister all stirred up before we got there...I've always been nice to them, and even tonight...I was nice, and it was met venom and violence. I don't want to be around them anymore...all their friend s were there and taking their side, or her side...even though she was clearly unstable and violent towards me. They told me she can kick my @ss...um, that's not true, lol. What do I do...I didn't hit her back...my arm is bleeding, we drove 3 hours home, our oldest son is staying with them and going to school...I hate that. I don't know what to do... because they have our son, spoiling him, and turning him against us...while abusing me. They have always abused me emotionally and verbally, but now it's gotten physical

I have an older brother that is this way. He just seems to expect everything to be given to him. Meanwhile with me, if someone delivers my mail I shower them with thank yous. But most importantly with my parents I always try to show my gratitude. Even if it is something such as my Dad giving me some advice or helping me with a paper.

My relationship with my mother has always been difficult. When I was 2, my parents divorced and my father won full custody of me (and this was in the early 80's). My father never told me why he was able to get full custody of me but I suspected that my mom did something to me physically. When I turned 18, my mother put 50 bruises on me because she didn't like the man I was seeing at the time (she just lost it). I never hit her back. After that happened, I didn't speak to her for 2 years. When I accepted her back into my life, I think she twisted the story to family members because my mothers side of the family gave me dirty looks when I started going back to family gatherings on her side. The last few years of my life have been very hard. I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness (which I was able to get treated). But since then, my body has not been the same and my body has started not working correctly. Unfortunately I moved away from home about 10 years ago, and I don't live near my mother. My mother doesn't approve of my lifestyle and feels that I should be doing better. She has stopped calling me, and even when I was sick she didn't call me either (maybe once). I don't get calls from her on holidays or my birthday. I still call her on her birthday and on major holidays but I have decided that I think this is bad for me. She doesn't want to be a part of my life AND I HAVE TRIED talking to her, asking her to call, but nothing works.

What should i do, am I in a good situation? I'm 15 years old and have been dealing with this for basically my whole life. I usually cry at least once a day from how my life is.

My daughter wishes she were Caucasian like most of her friends and classmates. She is born and raised in America, but our extended family is foreign. It might be frustrating for her to not share the same values as them, due to being raised in two different environments. I'm sure my daughter notices that our household have different rules and morals compared to her friends' too. The city she's growing up in is not very diverse, and we don't often meet other families like us.

so basically i was at her house sleeping over and i was on my couch working on homework on my laptop and while i was doing it, she brought me dinner and put it on the table and i had some and randomely while i was working she SCREAMED at me "HOW DARE YOU EAT IN THE LIVING ROOM" and i was like "what, you brought it in here" and she SLAPPED MY FACE HARD and told me I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GO TO THE DINING ROOM and hit me again and beat my head over and over and grabbed my laptop and threw it across the room and i ran over to get it and she kept screaming and her face was red and she went up to me and grabbed the laptop and beat it with a baseball bat then hit me again

My older son doesn't care because he loves me. My younger son makes it a secret to see me. My ex is not a good person he spreads lies about me says he raised the boys. Meanwhile I was a stay at home mom raising our boys. My ex has anger issues and I left because he was a cruel father but my youngest stayed with him is there a way for him to stand up to his father? My son can always live with me but I think he is afraid of what his father will say my son is 21

You arrive at home after a night of grocery shopping with your parents and you're in the car and you don't want to get out and your mom shouts, "Come on! I still have to cook!" Then you don't want to get out. She locks the car and leaves and eventually comes back to get you.

Whenever my aunt greets me and my family when she visits our house she cups her hands on my cheeks and gives me a big fat kiss on the lips. My family thinks nothing about it. What should I do? I've tried to say something about it but my mom says it's normal.

So my friend and coworker Katie lost her son on mother's day 2005 in Iraq. I remember her son and my daughter being friends in high school. Good kid. Gone way too soon. Truth is I did not know Katie when she lost her son as we got to finally know each other 4 months ago. Her son and my daughter were friends. He used to come over sometimes but at the time I didn't know this boy's parents. Soon there's gonna be mother's day. Katie lost her eldest son on mother's day. Of all days on mother's day. I can't believe to imagine how much pain this woman has suffered. I know it's been over 10 years but it still makes me sad for her. How shall I deal with her on that day? Should I be extra nice? Should I offer to do part of her job for the day? Should I act normally? I don't want to make the situation awkward but I still want to try to make her day a little less sad if I can somehow. I only know she lost her son on that day as my daughter told me. I mean Katie told me she lost her son in Iraq and I knew it back in 2005 but I didn't remember it was on mother's day. any advice on how shall I handle this?

Ok so my mum hired a housekeeper which i completely disagree of because how could you even trust maids these days i mean i dont wanna judge or anything but i heard lots of bad cases where they poison your food and stuff i just dont want to take this risk and i really dont feel safe with a stranger around our house ! I cant even leave my cup for 2 mins for god sake its driving me nuts how do i explain this to my mum she just wont understand me and she acts like im crazy or something...ughh someone plz tell me what to do D:

I founded wrapped macaroons in my fridge. So I opened and it look so perfect. My mom probably bought it for guests. But I can't help but eat it. I know if I take one piece I'll take another one and soon, nothing will be left. I hope my mom understand. I'm craving macarons so bad I want them.
