To each other... Uhm what??? We're all first cousins. They're the sons of my mom's two brothers. I don't care if they're gay. I'm not entirely sure if I can go to an incest wedding... Should I go?

ShouI'd we get a restraining oorder? I've been housebroke for 4 years and cut off ties because my mom became very controlling, physically, verbally and mentally and abusive to me after my parents divorced. I blocked her phone number because she never lets me live my own life. She's said and done horrible things to me and wants me to move back in. She doesn't like my fiance and thinks I'm a child. Apparently she cane with gifts unannounced! My fiance is very upset and decided to call the police. I am not sure if I want to call my mom because I don't need the drama roght now because she gets in the way of my career. Shpuld I go vosit my mom in a motel? I feel guilty and she's a toxic parent

My brother and his wife don't treat me well so should I tell him that I saved his and his family's life couple years ago? A garden equipment parked next to his house caught fire and would've burned down his house while his family slept if I hadn't put it out. So should I tell him or not?

So I am taking the trip of a lifetime with my girlfriend this summer visiting 7 countries in Europe for a month and a half. My mother and father will be tagging along as well on this trip, mind you that we are all paying for this trip equally. Now that being said, my sister is extremely jealous and is insisting on coming on this trip. A couple things to factor in here. My parents own their own business so they can take off whatever time they want, and I am a full time student so the same applies to me. But my sister, 1. Has a baby who is not even a year old yet 2. Has a job working for my Parent's President of the company as an assistant and 3. Doesn't even have her passport yet. The last piece that really gets me is she expects my mother to pay for it. This is because my sister will guilt trip my other into paying for her travel expenses. The reason I didn't invite her is because she is a new mother with a child (which her husband agrees) and she has other responsibilities. What can I say or do that will stop her from going on this trip?

Lately, my mom has been acting different. Today she started calling me selfish, ungrateful, etc. everytime she gets me something, I say thank you. I'm very grateful for the stuff I have. If I'm out with friends and we go out to the store, I get a candy that she likes and stuff. I do nothing but help her out. And getting blamed on, taking her anger out on me, and calling me selfish and ungrateful is what I get in return? She's somewhat selfish herself. She scheduled a nail appointment for herself while her nails are painted and looked completely good, while my nails aren't painted and don't even look that good in general. But of course, she's the one who needs to get her nails done and stuff. I'm tired of this, what am I supposed to say to her?

Okay, so. I am a full-time university student & I would say I'm quite responsible. I don't party, I study very hard, I help my parents out around the house. Despite this, my parents are both unsupportive & judgemental of everything - even my education. On the other hand, they treat my brother like the a god just because he is male and I am a female. They've tried to 'beat me into submission' as I've proven to be 'too defiant' for a 'female'. I suffer from depression and they have told me that I am only pretending to get attention, when in reality I have told nobody else about my struggle. I had hoped that they'd realize how unloved I felt & support me in treating my mental illness. On a regular day my dad will snap at me or call me stupid as a joke, & my mom will nag at me non-stop for hours upon hours while also making fun of me. I would be cooking my own meal & my dad would tell me to fetch him something from the fridge (that he could easily do himself whilst he is just lounging around), and my mother would hover over my shoulder and tell me everything I am doing "wrong" (but it's not wrong, it's just not the way she wants things done). At this point I'd snap at them. I NEVER raise my voice at anybody other than my parents, but it has become such a habit because they never hear me until I scream at them to stop. They claim I have anger issues and I am beginning to believe them. Maybe I am just broken and senseless. I don't know what to do. It feels wrong justifying why I'm yelling at my parents, but I cannot help it. They never yell at my brother because they never ask him to do things. They make me do everything in the household based on the fact that I am a female, yet everything I do is wrong. I've cried every time I spend more than fourty-five minutes with them, ever since I was a little girl. I don't know who to turn to. I can't move out -- I don't have the money or mental strength. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My sister has a 4 year old (which isnt that bad but still gets disrespectful sometimes) and she has a 6 year old that is so rude she talks back to her grandmother, grandpa, me and my siblings and she talks back to her own mother. My sister recently got a divorce so shes staying with us for a year but everytime my grandma or grandpa try to talk to the 6 year old or even my siblings she freaks out and starts saying dont talk to her tell me if she does something wrong. Then she just makes her sit in the room with her and doesnt do anything to discipline her. The child is a menace she breaks my little sisters toys, hits her sister, and everyone else. Keeps touching peoples ***, and saying really foul stuff but im not sure what to do here shes gonna be with us for a year and my mom doesnt know what to do either. Please help me out here

Well she is my step sister. Yesterday in the night, she was baking cookies and she had really short shorts on. They were showing all of her butt and I got turned on. Is that normal???

This year in February my nephew passed away from a car accident. He was 22 years of age who was just getting his life started. Anyways my brothers wife keep posting on Facebook talking about how much she misses her son which is my nephew. Anyways after two months of his passing, do you think that it's the right time to ask my sister n law if my nephew was speeding or any other thing that caused the accident? I'm afraid it will upset her even more if I asked because shes still kinda hurt from this. I care for my nephew I just wanna know what happen.

My female care-taker won't give me my pills becouse i was sleeping all day, she said its becouse thats what the bad sideeffects do, she wouldn't belive me when i said that my sleeping had nothing to do with the pills, i just felt brave enaugh to sleep on a time thats not usually offten slept in how do i convince her to give them back?

My best friend and I are very close, we have been tight for 4 years. We got into a big fight today, we almost were not friends anymore, although we talked it out and made up - met each other half way. Should I feel like a horrible person? That we almost weren't friends anymore. Should I feel like a terrible friend, since we had a fight? We made up like I said, although I feel very bad that our friendship was almost lost. I feel like I'm a bad person.

So my mom likes romance movies but i absolutely DISPISE them (theyre always so unrelaisitc and often times have a super messed up idea of romance). She knows how i feel about these movies but atill guilts me into watching them. I never fource her to watch movies i like and everytime i try to tell her i dont wanna watch a romance movie she gets upset saying she "just wants to spend time with me". Theres other genres we both like but she never cares about those and whenever i try and suggest we find something we both like it ends up being a 30 minutes back and forth of "ill watch what you wanna watch" where we never chose a movie and walk away frustrated and angry How do i get my mom to stop guilting me into watching movies i hate without it turning into a whole big thing?

I am studying about reflecting teams in family therapy. I noticed how Tom Andersen is widely accredited as the main influencer of reflecting teams, however he was following on Gregory Bateson's work back in the 50s who also believed in multiple realities. So my question is, why weren't bateson's ideas accepted back then? Why did we have to wait till the 80s for Tom Andersen's ideas to be accepted? Thanks

My dad and I have a pretty bad relationship although I don't think he knows how I really feel. I don't want to tell him, because my feelings about him were clear a few years ago when my parents were going through a bad time I started hating my dad because of the way he treated and talked to my mom, and I guess he saw that too and he reacted badly. My dad also started going through depression which is why my mom begged me to stop being mad at my dad for whatever reason I was mad. I did to keep our family together, and she somehow managed to get him out of his depression. Although our relationship is so much better now, I think of him more as a friend than a father. He doesn't care too much about anything my dad and doesn't seem to care about my business, which makes it a lot easier that I think of him as a friend. My mom is the one who asks me about everything. I don't want to have a serious talk with him about my feelings because I think he's going through depression again and I don't want to make him more upset. My family won't be able to handle his depression again, and I think my mom won't be able to get him out of it again if he gets Stuck in it again I don't know what to do. Any help?

I am 14 and whenever I try to talk to my mom about anything, she will either tell me that she's trying her best, tell me to stop complaining, get frustrated and yell at me, or list ways to solve any problems that she thinks I might have so that I'll go away. I'm homeschooled and wanted to tell her that I don't want her to bother me during certain times and that I would like it if she didn't schedule my orthodontist and therapist appointments during those hours on weekdays. She then tells me, "Fine!! You don't have to go to any of these appointments anyway!! I'll just cancel them all!!!" Or if I ask her to wash her own dishes she'll get super mad at me, or if I tell her anything at all she will yell at me. Then if I don't tell her something she'll get mad at me. She got to the point where she sincerely told me that she wished she never had me, that she's a failure of a parent, doesn't know how to be responsible, and just wants to give up. I am in 8th grade!!!! I need a mom!! She can't do this to me!!!!!!

For small reason but I lost my control & I just talked **** both of them because on one was on my side my sister law doesn't talk to me nor likes me and it's not something new she's very rude to my cousins also so any advice

My daughter has 3 younger brothers, but no sisters. The first time she asked for a sister was back in preschool, so I predicted it's just a phase that'll end. But her desire for a sister is growing more and more as she gets older. I've tried to use this situation as a lesson to teach my children that they can't always get what they want, and life is unfair. It wasn't our choice to not give her a female sibling. We just had 4 kids, and only one single kid turned out to be a girl out of them all. Me and my husband agreed that it's extremely unfair to have or adopt a girl just to fulfill her wishes. It is never a child's job to fulfill someone else's wishes. Our daughter is already 9 years old so even if we had a new baby, they likely won't be close due to a big age difference. There is also no guarantee that our nonexistent 5th child would be a girl.

Like they didn't care about you but they cared about your brothers or sisters or brother or sister more?

We have always had a terrible relationship since 6th grade, but it got especially bad around mid sophomore year. I felt helpless because I would be blamed. I wanted to have diplomatic discussions where we negotiate and come to a compromise on things but she has a "my way or the highway" attitude. I am not like other teenagers (sounds corny ik). I don't party or drink or do anything for that matter. Summers I would be too depressed to function which got me into more trouble bc I was seen as lazy. Junior year was the worst. I took multiple hard classes and had to deal with her attitude at the same time. I did vape and trust me I paid the price with punishments. But more than that I SUFFERED. It was school then home. Every day we had a fight. Every day felt like a pain. I wasn't allowed to go out with anybody that wasn't religious. I was being constantly beaten to the point of bruising over the smallest things. My mom didn't afford me any privacy and constantly belittled me. She took extreme measures like threatening suicide when I asked her not to interfere in my social life. She never gave any priority to the events in my life. She didn't care if I didn't have any friends or if I didn't get good grades even though she is a med professional. Recently we went to a grad party for a duke kid and her praise for him just boiled my blood. I felt like my potential, everything I worked for, went down the drain because I was so depressed because of her, but her and my stepdad say diff.

My 20 year old son told me that he wants to move outside our house and move to a different town with his friend. He told me he wanted to try a new life because he is very unhappy living here. He also quit college because he felt like he wasn't ready and felt forced to go by us. I just don't want him to leave. He helps us with the bills at times when my husband and I stay with no money. Also he isn't ready yet to support himself anyways. He also would struggle being by himself and hasn't even finished one semester of college when the right smart thing to do would be to stay here and finish college and then he could move. How do I convince him to stay and make him change his mind? I think he is making a mistake by moving.

knows it all. my daugter dont visit me she has 2 kids under 6 and it goes from there she works alot and her husband works to. my daughter has weekends off she can come and see me. i ask her and makes accuses all the time. she visits her husbands mom every weekend on sundays im like she can visit me pisses me off. we do things with her 6 year old son at times and this is how she treats us. no we do not like being treated like that . i feel that her husband took her away from me. she is 27 my daughter age is 27 i need advice

So some.background first, my step brother (17) is a horrible person who for years has constantly stolen lied cauesed constant family drama and trouble in school. But the worst thing hes done (at least accordong to me) is all the sexual harrasment to every female in the family (and extended family friends). None of it was physical it was all just uncofmortable messages he sent to everyone via online messages. His therapist blamed all his behaviornon porn and noone seems to be bothered by it but me. He also done some other troubleing stuff i cant go into here, Point is this dude is clearly f*cked up and im genuinly scared of him. My sister (25) has been having marrage problems and has been regularly cheating on her husband with him (the step brother, HER STEP BROTHER). Normally i wouslnt care abiut her relationships, shes a grown woman and can do what she wants but i cant sit by and be cool with her being with soemone whos so terrible (not to mention again hes legally our sibling). Anyway now im being cold to my sister not wanting to be around someone who chooses to be around suchna person (not to mention how terrible shes been to her husnabd stringing him along and the impact its had on her todler) My mom things im being overdramatic by avoiding her and that i need to just let them be blah blah and is mad at me for not wanting to be around the family when shes there. I seem to be the only one whos upset by this am i wrong for wanting nothing to do wo

I have no purpose in life, I don't find anything interesting, and my father is dead. I have no other immediate family members. Most of my extended family are in another country so I almost never see them. They don't care about me though.

I'm 12 years older than my brother and I'm not that protective of him. I will defend him if something goes weary but other times I just don't want to interfere because he's a really smart kid and at the age of 8, he's able to stick up for himself. some people find it weird also that I'm not like some sisters who think their little brothers are too young to be into girls. he's only 8, so his "girlfriends" aren't actually "serious". Is this normal?

I've only just got a job and just completed my training for it, I'm 18 and living with my parents. My mum is going to charge me £250 a month board, but I've looked it up and most parents don't even charge close to £200 pm.

I feel no motivation to study or do any of my homework lately. I don't seem to care for the consequences and I'm not interested in any of my classes. I have depression and college just makes it worse. I'm 18 and I still live with my parents. They basically were the ones that forced me to go to college. It doesn't seem like I had choice like everyone else seemed to have. I told my mom 2 years ago I didn't want to go to college and then her and my dad made me feel like **** about it. Even though I'm an "adult" I don't get treated or respected as such. I have a bad relationship with them because they're emotionally abusive and they're controlling and manipulative. I'm leaving out a lot of things because there's not enough space to say all the things they've done. I have no privacy whatsoever. I live with them and my sister in a studio apartment so I basically sleep in the same room as them. I'm mentioning all of this because I really want to move out. I feel that if I stay here I'm going to go crazy because I feel miserable. But in order to move out I'll need to get a full time job and most likely drop out. But I would feel like a failure. I don't know what to do...

Hi so I m needing some advice here on whether I should just tell my dad about the affair my mom has been having these last 6 months, should I confront my mom, or should I just keep it a secret. My parents have been married for 20 years now and it defiantly hasn t been easy so I wasn t all that surprised when I discovered my mother was having an affair. I happened to find out because my mother left her personal journal lying out with the page opened, so I wasn t trying to snoop but I happened to glance down and see a name that I didn t recognize saying that the guy she s having an affair with wants her to leave my dad. I can tell my mother isn t happy with her relationship that she has with my father and I have even asked her to just divorce my father because it makes home life for me and my siblings tough. So I m not sure what to do at this point. If I were my father I would want to know if I was being cheated on, but at the same time I don t want to hurt my dad and ruin everything. Any advice helps! Thanks!

So my girlfriend and I have a 3-month-old daughter together and Sunday we got into a big argument and she got mad left and went back to her mom's house and took all of her stuff. I haven't seen my daughter since Sunday and she won't allow me to see her. I've been asking her like crazy to please let me see my child but it's not working. We haven't been to court to sort any of this out because, we have been living together for the past year, so does she have the right to keep my daughter away from me? and what's the point of being a father if all they are going to do is give all the rights to the mother??? I just wanna see my child and she took her away without telling me. Can she do that???

He's Mexican who clams to be Native American since he didn't let me make a smoothie I called him a sp*c and told him that the white should've slaughtered all the Indians I wish for pure ethnic cleansing of his race for good
