I don't feel like catching up and I blocked her number because she's very clingy, manipulative and controlling. Plays mind games a lot too and wants me to move back home. I don't miss my mom because she was very mean to me more times than nice.

It seems like everyone expects a person to forgive their mom, but not the dad. Or if an abusive older brother and sister The sister is not as focused on? How about toxic parents? Or is it just that statisticly there's more abusive fathers? I feel like when I complain about my mom, I get less sympathy.

My aunt is almost 60 and unmarried and she doesnt work. She lives with her unmarried sister and she threw a plate at her and hit her a lot. When i was staying over at their house my aunt hit me multiple times in the past. She give excuses that she is right to hit us. Why she hits ?

The story is that my cousin married someone really famous, I will not name the person for the sake of privacy. My Dad attended the wedding and did not tell any of us that it was happening. My older sister got upset and called my dad out on it. His excuse was that it was for the respect of my aunt and cousin and my other aunt got into it and made excuses. I'm not personally offended, my other sisters are and I want no part in this drama or to speak to any of them.

I got admitted to a good school near my home that's about 30 minutes away and a good school 8 hours away. I am torn between the two because of my family. If I were to commute to the school close by it would be around $1000 a month. If I were to live there it would be the same as the school far away and I would have to take out loans. The problem is my father sold his business and is buying one in another state. That means wherever I go my mom and my brother who is a year younger will be alone while my dad sets up the business. My mom suffers from anxiety and depression which makes the situation more complicated. I told her that I feel like she wants me to close by only because she wants me there for the emotional support and she said go because in the future she doesn't want to hear that she ruined my life. I now feel guilty for wanting to leave. It's like I should be understanding but I also have to think for myself and what I want. But then again my parents have done so much for me. Please help. Where should I go?

My dad always buys me and family stuff. He's also the main and only provider of income in our family. He buys me and family nice things like the newest model of phones or luxury brand items quite often. He is also able to pay my $70k boarding Scholl tuition. But when he gets mad he starts punching and kicking my brother and me. He's left bruises on my brother before that have lasted a couple weeks. I'm scared to make him mad. I'm scared of him. He calls me ungrateful when I do something wrong like ask to stop eating the same things every week and tells me all I remember are the bad things he does but never the good things like him paying for my tuition. He calls it disciplining but it just scares me and my brother . I've threatened to call CPS but he just says 'I dare you. I don't care if I'm in jail'. I haven't called because he's the only provider of income and no one else will be able to take care of my younger brother and my mom. He is also paying for my tuition. I'm only 14 so I won't be able to get them money and none of my close relatives would be willing to help. How can I deal with this and is he abusive and in what ways?

I am pretty inexperienced with this topic. I believe my parents made a huge mistake trying to overprotect us until the day I turned 18. Although it was due to cultural reasons, it didn't work well because all their kids were born and raised in America.

I was having diarrhea and it was awkward. I kept farting the entire time with gross poop noises. My mom was home and actually asked if I was sick because she could hear it. It was really embarrassing. Does she know I couldnt help it?

Let's say the two siblings sometimes text here and there and engage in basic conversation. Maybe go shopping together sometimes.

Right to start off with my parents are divorced. My mum has re married and now I have a step dad and then my dad is single. I see my dad on a weekend every 3 weeks, (as I live with my mum). But I see my dad from time to time when I'm working. But when I'm at my dads we all sit in the living room and watch tv together etc.... whereas at mums we will have our dinner at the table and then just go back upstairs (which I prefer), I mean I don't get along with most of my family and have been arguing with them a lot recently.... and I work like every weekday and the odd Saturday here and there so hardly ever at home.... but at mums it's fine as we don't have 'family time' as we are all kinda grown up now (except my little brother who's 13.) It's just at dads I don't really like it cause we all sit and watch movies or tv and for some families that's great but for me I just don't enjoy it and it may sound antisocial but I would prefer to just be in my room doing my own thing if you get me? But your feedback and opinions would be very much appreciated.

i'm 18 years old girl and he is 28 year old boy. how to make him act sumissive and non-harming.for example i made hot water to sooth my throat. he comes and says why didn't you make coffee. like i'm his maid or sth. he isn't cripple. he could do himself. or comes tell me why you disconnect wifi when my dad did. he uses telephone which is connected with router line here. one time my dad gave his number to near 10 persons and you know they were calling the number like mad. then he came and yell at me why did you share my number with some assholes.

My older brother is 18, never leaves the house and when I mean never he hasn't been outside in 3 months, he dropped out of highschool and all he does is stay in his room and play Xbox all day and he doesn't socialize at all.

So my older sister only likes to contact my mom when she needs her. My mom is aware of this but always gives into whatever she needs. So my sister hasn't contacted her in a while and my mom told me that she's really down about it and is "suffering in silence" What can I do to help her?

So, my boyfriend's mother passed away three years ago on April 30th and her birthday was on the 4th of May. My sister's birhday was on the 1st of May. But since my mother in laws passing was much more recent the "attention" goes to her and my boyfriend. The same thing happened today, my sister passed away 12 years ago on May 11th but because May 12th is mothers day... I end up comforting my boyfriend instead of taking the time to grieve myself. My boyfriend also doesn't remember the dates of my sisters birthday and passing unless I tell him and even then he is (understandably) to occupied with his own grief to support me on these days. This bothers me more than it probably should, but I feel bad towards my sister for not giving her the attention she deserves on those days and I know this is going to be an on going thing. My mother in laws passing will always be more recent and my sisters birthday will always be surrounded by her special days. I will always end up comforting my boyfriend instead of grieving my self. How do I deal with this in an adult manner?

After I graduated highschool last year, I moved in with my dad (who I hadn t seen in nearly 12 years) for a year across the country. It was a mistake so my mom bought me a plane ticket back. I came back a few days ago and everything was wrong. My 4 year old dog isn t house trained because she was an outside dog but they had been keeping her inside so there s **** everywhere. Literal ****. She had puppies also, so they were shitting everwhere too. No bathrooms in this house work, the refrigerator doesn t work, there s no hot water. The house is so full of flies from all the **** that they crawl on you while you sleep. All the floors are so grimy, I can t tell if it s dirt or dried **** everywhere and I don t dare walk around barefoot. And my room, usually the cleanest, is downright dreadful. My cap and gown are torn to pieces and my prom dress literally has a big pile of **** on it. Yet, somehow in the year I was gone, my mother bought tablets, a Nintendo switch, ipads, a mini fridge and microwave for her room, and a printer. This house is unliveable. School starts in three months and I can t stand to be here much longer. My best friend and I want to get an apartment together but I know that trying to work and go to school and pay both rent/bills as well as tuition is gonna burn me out. However, if I stay, because my mother doesn t make me pay bills, I ll be able to save up, but there s the downside of living with this filth. What do I do? I have no one else to stay with.

There was recently a passing in our family, my cousin passed away at only 40 and left behind 4 teenagers 14-17) and 2 adult children. How will this affect them in the long run? Will they be okay? 2 seem very affected and hurt and the others seem to be handling it well. How can I help?

My youngest daughter is jealous of her 19 year old sister. As a result, she vandalized some of her sister's clothes by cutting them apart and using permanent markers to scribble on them. She was also about to steal her sister's phone to send nasty text messages to people, pretending to be my 19 year old. Her sister caught her before it happened.

my parents promised me that they would get me an ipad but than they told me one day NO i was so sad [still am] i mean this is a really big thing for me they promised me and then broke it i cried sooooo much i didnt even eat anything for breakfest what should i do cause i really want an ipad[ and plus in my school they dont give exams or assignments or tests or anything so i cant show them my grades] i asked my parents the reason and they said ''if you get good grades on your report card than we'll think about it'' what is ''we'll think about it'' mean does that mean yes or no? and if your thinking why i said i dont get grades on my exams and stuff well thats exams this is report card and no i dont get exams or assignments i only get my report card at the and of every semester\term and year

Just because you call him bud and buddy doesn't mean you're necessarily his best friend and vice versa but most sons especially when they're really young , look up to their dad's like heros and love to emulate them.

im 19. while living at home I created my own adult content website. I did it to make some side money so I could buy lunch and movie tickets but surprisingly my website become a bigger hit than intended. I am not in any of the videos but as the owner of the website I make a percent of money off every video that is posted. so lets just say. im not struggling with money at all. if I tell them im moving out one day they aren't gonna know how I got the money to do it. I don't have a job or go to college and from the looks of it right now I won't be needing college because I already am making more money than I would with a masters degree. im basically living a secret life as a pimp and I don't wanna tell my parents but at the same time if I move out they won't understand where I got the money.

Really long but please read . When i was a kid my dad would always hit me, and still does, but i always thought thats just how you're supposed to raise your children, but now he is always threatening me that if i do something wrong he will hit me or punch really hard and now every time he screams at me or my sister i can't help to feel scared and cry. Also, when we're eating lunch or dinner i catch him staring at me, it has gotten to the point to when i feel like he's staring at me, the only thing i can do is try to ignore him. I feel scared being home alone with him and I'm scared he'll try to do something to me, what do i do?
