Trying to make story short, I currently live in UK and had always hoped to move to the USA. That was about to become a reality not long ago as I got into contact with an elderly couple that currently reside in Mountain View, California, USA. They were happy to let me have their house FOR FREE, they live in a massive beautiful house which has been renovated recently and looks brand spanking new. Why? It turns out that I saved their sons life many years ago. At the time we didn't know each other but recently the son managed to find me and get into contact with me, I expressed that I wanted to move to the united states one day and that's how he got me into contact with his parents. His parents are like one of the most humble and down to earth human beings I have ever encountered as they have allowed me to have their house because they want to move to a new area. It was my dream to move to California, I even had a job/career lined up at the Google headquarters in Mountain view. These talks were in the process for around 6 months and were being finalized, however recently the family made me aware that now the local governing agencies and enforcement have prohibited them from allowing me to have the house for free, even under their will. The family are just as confused as I am, I'm not too sure how the law works there but is this true? Can they really do this? All this has caused me a lot of anxiety as all hopes have been crushed. Even the family says it makes no sense for them.

I'm 13, we were arguing over stupid and out of nowhere she called me a *****. She's never sworn at me and i've never sworn at her. It upset me a lot as it was coming for her and i don't know what to do. She doesn't seem to care that she said it and she won't apologise.

Admittedly, I love video games and I have a dope PC. It's basically my only hobby for the most part other than working out and excersize and sparring with people if I find a good partner. My girlfriend hates my PC and hopes I grow out of games. She likes games too but she plays for a half hour and is burnt out whereas I can play for hours. But my game choice selection isn't as shallow as I play anything from grand strategy to milsims. Realisitically, during the season I will play video games for 4 hours in a day to all day is she isn't around. For the past several months I won't even touch it in a week. I'm about to graduate as a chemical engineer and I already have a job lined up before graduation so as far as I'm concerned I think my game time is lacking relative to what I do in a day. I would play more but I know she doesn't like it and she wants me to hangout with her. I literally go in game forums and watch people play my games on YouTube because I'm forcing myself not to touch them myself and find that as my only source of entertainment. Perhaps, I've left a bad taste in her mouth for video games because I could momentarily be a brat when I had to do work and wouldn't be able to play. Or because I'm child-like and the only reason I've gotten this far is because she held my hand through it, while I don't take care of myself and won't even eat if I was left alone all day with my PC. She's just tired of taking care of me.

My mom was very hard on me and herself to look good, even if my dad never cheated on her for some reason. She use to yell at me to stay in shape and not get acne and I should stop eating sweets. We argue a lot about this and my mom she gets aggressive if I started gaining weight and she says my appearance matter a lot. Well im halfway into college these days people need dual income or educated partner. So I feel it was my mom waste of energy.

In fact, her bullying behaviour gets worse every time she leaves the house to attend school. My parents both work full time. They don't come until 6:30pm on average. At home, my sister is extremely obedient and good so that's how she hides her bullying so well. I don't think my parents can imagine the words that come out of her mouth at school. She tends to pick on specific girls who are considered "popular" and into gymnastics, or sometimes she bullies people that everyone else bullies. Examples of words used are fat, slut, baby, ugly, dumb, stupid, b*tch, etc... at 10, the other girls seem to take name calling more seriously. I've heard she's also kicked somebody during lunchtime but I didn't see it, so I can't be sure if it's true or not. I've tried to tell her that it is horrible for any child to be bullied, whether she's the one doing it OR other kids are doing it to her. That she needs to stop and think before she says anything. Sister didn't listen to me and continued on.

I've been with my girlfriend for 6 years. Her daughter is now 14, and for some reason is trying to sabotage our relationship. My girlfriend has her 50 percent, and the daughter never wants me around even though I make an effort to be a good person to her. If I stop by the daughter claims her mom doesn't want to spend time with her. However, the daughter always has her friend over and manipulates her mom into buying them things, going out to eat all the time, and doing whatever she wants including things her dad would never get away with. She is utterly disrespectful to her Mom, talks back, doesn't listen, calls her names, slams doors, they always get in fights, just recently my girlfriend began to put her foot down though. My girlfriend went to a serious doctors appointment with me and the daughter said, why cant the idiot just go on his own. She has her friend over every night and now states her friend is uncomfortable with me being over. My friends are telling me I should get out before I get falsely accused of something to get me out of the picture. What should I do? Update: Quality time according to the daughter is freedom to do whatever she wants and manipulating her mother.

When I was 16, I moved out of my fathers abusive home and went to live with my grandmother. My grandmother was distant towards me and I was already pretty meek and fragile due to the abuse I underwent with my father. Anyway, I overheard another family member talking to my grandmother about me (they didn't know I could hear them talking). My grandmother told the family member that she thought I was a prima-donna (difficult and vain). I don't believe I was a prima-donna, I was just distant (mostly because my grandmother was distant towards me probably because she didn't want me to be with her). I think back on this and wonder how bad (like on a scale of 1 to 10) she was towards me? Please no cursing or insulting comments I will just report you. thank you to those that really want to help give me an idea and peace of mind. thank you

I feel no positive vibes or love at home and sometimes my parents make me feel bad about myself or emotionally manipulated. My mom acts so much differently toward my brother who is 20. She laughs and is so nice to him and then with me she seems unhappy and gets offended by anything I do and makes me feel guilty. Tonight I was being open about how I am upset that the only time my family goes out to dinner or really spends time with each other is when my bro is home from college. My mom got so mad and offended and said that whenever they ask me to do something I go with my friends and not them. But like I can't go out to ice cream with them cuz I'm lactose intolerant and idk if they forgot. They always ask me last minute when I already have made plans. And I don't feel comfortable going out with them because my parents usually fight or I just get horrible vibes from them at dinner. I don't even remember the last time they took me to dinner without my brother. Every convo w my mom makes me sad and I hate seeing that she treats my and my bro differently. My dad is usually mad for no reason or makes me feel bad for relaxing during the summer and they call me lazy. What do I do? I'm really trying to do what's best for me and control my own happiness but it's hard.

I feel bad for ditching my family on movie night but I can't stand SCARY movies. I'm getting scared just asking this question and thinking about those types of movies.

I'm 24 and in college. I've been struggling for a week now. Finals just ended last Tuesday and it was a extremely stressful school year for me. Just recently my brother had a seizure from an energy drink and could have died. Ever since he had that seizure I've been having trouble sleeping and eating. I worry for him so deeply that I struggle to sleep. As a result, because I barely sleep i literally have no desire to eat even when my stomach growls. I don't want to lose weight but I just really don't want to eat. I find myself forcing myself to eat. I feel really depressed. I find myself trying to force myself to eat and that stresses me out and I think all the time how I don't want to lose weight and to eat but then I honestly really don't want to eat. What is wrong with me? How do I get better? How can I sleep and go back to normal eating? I feel really depressed. Please help me.

My step dad has been caught cheating years ago. He said he's sorry and he will earn her trust back but he never even tried once. We know he still cheating and the lying has gotten worse. He says to close Bank of America and open a new bank account somewhere else But he doesn't want it jointed. He says the place he works at doesn't work with Bank of America but that no excuse on the jointed part. This just means he doesn't want to send money any more. He might make the money but my mom is the one who pays all the bill's the car, the house, the light, the loans, exc. Every time my mom askes a question he gets angry with her. He's been caught lying about going to work when he's really Mexico. The bank account confirm that. I confronted him about always making my mom cry and now he wants to kick me out. He's been tiring to kick me out since childhood now I'm 22 so now he can. He's a coward whos to scared to say the truth. When he's been caught he plays the victim. The only reason my mom stays with him is because we have no money to leave on owner own. I can't support my mom, brother and sister on a part time job and I don't want my mom to get a job because a tumor in her shoulder. My sister 20 but in college and my bother 17 in high school about to turn 18 so child support not an option. None of us can live independently Please someone give me some advice I don't know what to do anymore. I can't keep seeing my mom hurting and crying like this.

After that he comes back in my family life, acting like nothing happen.

The kid is not real blood. She already has a biological daughter, but couldn't have a second kid so she adopted her "son".

I honestly can't believe this is my life I can't believe that my mother and father are ******* twisted minds prevents and I don't know where to go or do. and how could they do that with a sick person?

I'm a 16y/o guy and my sleep schedule has been ridiculous lately. I usually dont take naps during the day but can never get to sleep before 3am. Usually I fall asleep like 3:30-4ish. Then, I wake up at around 7am and having had such a rough time staying asleep, I get up at least 3 times. My day carries on and I feel tired constantly. I can hard keep focused on anything and end up delirious by midnight but still cant get to sleep despite deliberately waiting awake to try and get to bed early. I've tried a ton of supplements and online remedies that only seem to make me dead tired and makes getting any sleep even more difficult because I'm so tired I cant rest (sorry if that doesnt make sense) idk how else to explain it. I've borrowed my dad's sleep aid a couple times but he doesnt think I should take them and disagrees with anyone under 21y/o taking them so my parent wont evenet me get a legit prescription. and couldnt keep taking them without him noticing. How do I break this cycle I feel like I'm loosing my mind and I'm so tempted to just take a whole bottle of those pills right abt now. I'm miserable.

So I just was talking with a best friend and he's all weirded out bc of what happened 2 days ago with his brother. So my bud wanted to send some flowers to his Sist in law bc she's been sickish lately. But she has a number of allergies so he texted his bro what kind of allergies does she have. The bro texted back " Please dont send flower to my wife. Thats my job." So my bud was all...Huh...what the what ? That was freakin wierd thing to say and called him up on it. Long story short - Bud was Why are you being wierd. She's family and family sends family flowers". His bro was "I dont think its appropriate for my brother to send my wife flowers." A card ...something else ok. but not flowers. To narrow the point he said "From the parents would be okay....just not my brother." In other words he singled out his bro. My bud took it like his bro was questioning his intentions of which he has none other than to brighten the sister in laws day. I've met her. She's really cool. So now my bud is like offended/hurt. His bro said "Why you makin a big deal outta this" But to my bud it was that his bro would be like this is a big deal. And he's all....I dont know what to make of all this. Dont really want to talk to him right now. What should I do?" Im all ..Man, sounds like your bro has "issues" of some kind. But should you just brush it off and pretend it doesnt affect you or make something more of it...idk. I dont wanna get in the middle of you and your bro. Your thoughts? I read to my friend whats been said so far an he said: "Well...she's Family n Im family. Its not like Imma stanger" but two people here said it still wouldn't be appropriate so maybe he come not be bent anymore. He not gonna send em anyways...but he doesnt like his bro " being all wierd" off a simple allergy question. He didnt expect the reaction.

My son just turned 17 and in a very abusive relationship. His girlfriend of 2 years has escalated with her violence towards him and he cant seem to break it off with her. No matter how many interventions we have with him over cuts, bruises, concussions, broken bones and severe depression he insists that he cant break up with her and that he's too invested in the relationship. She is extremely insecure and obsessed with his social media activity and looks for any excuse to verbally and physically abuse him and he usually just laughs it off. Her parents avoid the situation all together and she doesnt take our warnings (threats) seriously at all. She's 2 years older than him and recently got her own apartment which he spends a lot of time at but he's dug himself into a wearisome predicament. She has threatened to kill him more times than anyone bothers to count and guilt trips him into staying with her. We are trying not to overstep because he does really care about her but things are only getting worst.

At best you are 4th?

I have no friends and recently my mom all of a sudden is acting way more close to my cat. Before she disnt give a damn about my cat. I always loved my cat. I think she just does this to try to annoy me and manipualte me. I dont show that it botbers me but i dont want my cat going to her for emotional satisfaction and not me. My mom is a selfish "woman" who is trying to take away my only source of emotional connection and pleasure on this earth. I want to move out but its so hard to get a job. I haven't had friends for a long time and its extremely hard for me to make any. I dont think y'all understand how serious this is to me. I am jealous. My cat and i are very close and now she is interferring. Even when we had other cats she wasnt that close to them. I think she recently heard me talk about how much i love my cat and all of a sudden she wants to get closer to it? Thats probably not just a coincidence! I knew before this instinctively that i should hide my affection for my cat.
