So I have a friend whose dad refuses to get a better paying job even though it would help out their family a lot. They re quite poor and don t have a lot, sometimes not even food/water or enough money to pay the electric bill. The dad works for Herbalife (getting almost no money) and says it s his dream job and it ll "eventually" pay off. Well, he s constantly asking my friend and his younger siblings for their money that they work for, says he ll pay them back but then he never does and owes them a couple hundred dollars. Instead of using that money for things they really need, he uses the money to treat himself to movies or dinner and the kids will be at home starving. Or he ll sometimes use it to pay off other debts of his. He doesn t let any of his kids save money or use it for things they need for school or food, he takes it from them. Sometimes without asking. Continues to work at pyramid scheme herbalife and makes next to nothing. Then he gets mad at his kids if they don t seem enthusiastic about giving him most of their money. What can my friend do or say to the dad? It s not possible for him to move out right now but please help for some things to say.He also quit a really good paying job a few years ago to focus on Herbalife because it was his "dream" to not have to work for someone else and said Herbalife would pay off, but he's been doing it now for 5 years or something and still, nothing.

Usually she's pretty chill, acts normal but she is now laughing out of nowhere for no apparent reason. This kind of attitude has happened at least once every year but has gone away after that. She usually stays confined to her room to do schoolwork and now she is doing artwork in MY bedroom and schoolwork downstairs. She's freaking out about every kind of little thing that hints danger like bees at the Texas border and the skyscraper that crashed and fell whatever it was, saying we have to close the windows to prevent the bees from coming in(we are in Arizona). I'm nervous whenever she goes downstairs and it makes me mad now that I have to lock my room to prevent her from going in there. It seems like she's deep in her thoughts cause when she was eating toast for breakfast, she was just staring at the toast for the longest time. What can I do to stop these annual episodes once per year it scares me!?!

I am 23 and living at in my parents home after completing college education and I don't have much work to do, and I get meals prepared for me but I fear getting kicked out of the house if they found that I had another source of money. I am afraid that if I have another source of funds I would end up on the street not knowing what to do?

So for the past several years I have been consistently spied on by my family members and tormented by them, taunted by them and have tried to set me up in certain situations to get me put in prison and hospital. They have consistently done this and it has only gotten worse. I am going to cut it short and say I want it to stop now. How do I make them suffer the consequences for the amount of mental instability they ve given me and how do I make them stop? I kept noticing that they would be seeing what I was up to whenever I looked around, they often mock me or do something to trigger my anxiety. As my suspicions grew I decided to setup hidden cameras in my room and I found that they would often day and night go into my room and look around in things, take things and use my computer. I found that they were staring at me in my sleep or peeking at me through the door slightly open. They have on several occasions admitted to spying on me rather blatantly and seemed to have found it amusing. They are toxic people who try to put me in a mood as bad as theirs by making fun of me, accusing me of stuff I haven't done, yelling at me, etc. They have stolen stuff such as my medication for nausea and anxiety, things I have bought such as food. For example: earlier tonight my brother threw away some fast food I bought for dinner. I decided to walk into the kitchen to eat it and the moment I did my brother went out of his room to see my reaction. When I asked him why he did it he said that I did it, then he later said my mother did it which isn't true because I already had asked her if she did. Example 2: at 2 AM my brother quietly opened my room door thinking I was asleep and started peeking at me, as soon as I responded he went into a rage and went back into his room. Example 3: my dad made a copy of a key to my room, when he failed he smashed the door open and asked why I wasn't coming out of my room. When I asked him why he was spying on me, he said with a grin on his face: "because we don't trust you and we don't like you." Example 4 my parents recently moved my computer (I bought with my own money out of my room into an area where they can easily see what I am doing. I caught them every day and night looking at what I'm doing behind my back. When I am not around they go on my computer send violent insulting and threatening msgs to my friends via Skype and Facebook which has made me lose lots of friends I have also noticed a great deal of friends are removed and that a great amount of files and folders are removed

My dad is accusing my mother of cheating and wants to kick us out of the house because she has a supposed "Hickey" which is not true, i was there when a bug bit her neck and it got swollen for hours now its not swollen but purple. This is a misunderstanding which i believe is nonsense but still he doesn't want to believe us and wants to kick us out. I currently don't know what to do.

My mom has a boyfriend who is 10 years older than her (he's 53) yet she treats him as if he was five years old. She praises even his most worthless achievements and gives him all of his attention. I am 16 years old, my birth parents divorced 11 years ago. So I grew up without a good father figure, and obviously I grew up a bit differently than other kids. But instead of getting support and getting MY share of attention, I am more criticized and treated like a failure, and my achievements have to be HUGE just so Mom will move her attention away from her manchild of a beau. She says that a man's common sense never grows beyond 5-10 years of age, and because of that (and my age and how close we used to be) she treats me as if I was also 43. But that's not fair to me, because I already don't have a lot of friends (or a boyfriend for that matter) and I have a bad relationship with Dad. She says she treats me like that to give me an edge and to prepare me for the real world... So is this right or not?

He is a very family oriented person which I admire. I have a son and he has a daughter. I grew up with a broken family. My dad left me and my mom when I was 3 and was always in and out of my life. My mom was always bringing a new guy into her life and exposing me to it. Our family never kept in touch or had family get togethers so I'm not use to the things he got to experience. Whenever I go to visit his family I find myself drawn to him and hard to connect with them because I never had what he has. I want to but i don't know how, and the idea of connecting to a family and potentially losing them is scary to me. This is one of the main reasons he is breaking up with me. His family doesn't know the life I had but he does. I told him that I feel that if they knew it would make it easier for me. He feels like it will never change and that he has been patient with me for a year now. I have been slowly but surely opening up to his family so it's not like I m not making an effort. My previous relationship with my sons father was the same way. It took me time to open up but they knew the background I came from so they were more understanding. He said he does understand but still feels like we are just going to keep going down the same path and that he can't be making this decision based off his emotions. He said it is either the right thing to do or the worst decision he will ever make.

I'm asking this because I'm genuinely not sure if It's too soon to bring up the subject. I want to bring up the topic of kids with my girlfriend and get into what she really envisions for the future. So we've been going out for 3 months but we've been friends for over two years and only got together after getting out of serious relationships. We kind of just happened and it feels like we're still adjusting to being a couple. Anyway, I feel like asking her because we never talked about things like this and I want get to know this part of her. We're both 23 and its not like we're kids anymore, but is it still too soon. Should I just wait for her to bring it up?

We are a family of 5. Kids are 5,4 and 19 months, so our house is in a constant state of chaos. The management where we are renting has done inspections of all units every week for the past month preparing for a big housing dept inspection coming up next week. We have received a courtesy violation notice each week that housekeeping needs tending to. This past weekend, we cleaned the entire unit 4 times. We re not living in dirty, disgusting conditions. Laundry is clean and in the basket ready to be folded, dishes are washed up in the strainer, but we just haven t had a chance to actually put it all away. A friend of mine suggested I hire a housekeeper to help, but it s more a matter of finding a "home" and training the kids to put things in their designated place. I've checked out with cleaning services, and this is out of their scope. And besides, I think it would defeat the purpose if I have to write out where things go. I checked with a professional organizer. The best rate I found is $180 for 3 hours, travel time and supplies included. It's really not that bad of a rate, but I'm a little nervous doing it. Especially with my bunch. Spend all that money, only to have them destroy it in seconds. We could use the help, though, especially with these constant violation notices. Any thoughts? The older two are already doing basic chores around the house. We moved a couple of years ago, and never really gave ourselves a chance to "settle in" before baby arrived, so it's been kind of chaotic since. Their stuff never really had a designated place to begin with in order to train them to put it away. My SO unpacked and just put things wherever in order to get the boxes out of the house. he point of the question was if it's worth it to hire someone to get clean up/organized to satisfy management. It's kind of hard to train the kids when SO won't follow through with it.

He is a very arrogant man. His ex-wife, my Mom, calls him the "Arrogant Dick" when referring to him and I have begun to do the same. Ironically his first name is Dick (Richard with Dick his nickname).

My mom just entered to a difficult stage of her life due to her severe arthritis disease after trying all type of treatments. Her body is not responding anymore to treatments; as a consequence, she's seeing herself condemned to a bitter end. She's unable to drive nor walk without supervision anymore; yet she refuses to accept her fate. I understand it's difficult for her specially because she's been a very active mom. She's accustomed to be very independent and now all she hears from us is restrictions, reprimands, and no-nos. She says we are trying to "extinguish" her life with our nonsense restrictions and we constantly got into real angry arguments because of that. I am wondering if I am being to harsh to her, or should I allow her to do her own will at her own risk? The situation is turning really ugly day by day. I don't know what to do. Sending her to a home is not an option since I've worked in the field and I know from first hand it's a horrible and depressing experience. I am willing to sacrifice myself for mom but I just need the right tools to able to manage her. She's lucky because I'm single and still living with parents but I have thought in moving since this situation is sicking me and making me depressed. She likes sewing so my sister bought some fabrics to keep her entertained, but I know for sure it won't last forever since she's very anxious and is constantly looking to try to make things as she used to do. I don't want her to be depressed. Any ideas? My senior mom is getting me crazy. Help.?

Dont exaggerate anything. Just write truth. BY BULLING I MEAN ANYTHING UNFAIR.

So my mom lives with my sister and her husband to help them pay the bills. My sister is getting divorce and now my mom wants me to come back with her she said you will only have to pay for food why should I go with them I can't stand to be around them they are narcissist and I just can't stand to be there too long! How to make her understand I just don't want to live there

when I was living at home, my older brother was when I was young, physically abusive, but up till this day, he is verbally abusive and complains about everything and anything. He never left home before and is 47. I'm 37 and moved out before and will do so again. On disability for right now after an operation so I can't work at the moment. I got this man a job when no one would hire him. He quit after a year and spent some time again unemployed. Now he has a job which makes him 1,000 every other week and he still complains and does not show signs of leaving the house. Whenever he goes on his tantroms and keeps trying me, my mother has and always told me that I got to walk away when he gets the way he gets and that this is killing her and gets all dramatic if I tell her calmly that I wont let him speak to me the way he does. He even had the cops called on him before because he harrassed one of the neighbors. He has no more friends and believes he better than everyone else. Got fired one time for picking an argument with a customer at a job. Mom tries to manipulate me into taking it. I wont though. Yes I know I need to move back out and thats what im working on so we can all back off from that one. For now. When I was a child, if he hit me and I hit him back, Id get yelled at or hit in the face by mom. I feel like my brother and mother killed my self esteem long long ago which im trying to build up. I always felt like I couldn't talk to girls because of them. both used to make fun of me when I was a kid because I was fat. The entire family, Grandparents, cousins, ect, all got in on the fun at times. Left me feeling so angry. They even convinced me for a time that was sick in the head. This was after they all called me names and taunted me. Made me feel like shyt.

I live in Myrtle Beach SC. Jobs here are limited. I've been unable to find work in my field here at all. I'm 31 years old and I work 2 jobs. I just finished my Masters Degree and I want out of the area BAD!! THERES ABSOLUTELY NO WORK here in my field. I've been offered jobs in other states but my parents continue to make me feel guilty about my decision to relocate. I live in their 2nd home it's a townhouse and pay their mortgage of 300 per month. They constantly make me feel guilty about moving out and not helping with their mortgage. They tell me I'll never find rent as cheap as 300 per month and constantly make me feel like I owe them for allowing me to stay at their townhouse. I'm starting to become really bitter towards them. I'm not sure what to do! Any advice?

Shall I congratulate my family member on her wedding even though she hasn't even called me to congratulate me on mine. She did not even tell me she is getting married. She has been distant with me for many year and didn't come to see my last born.

I'm 15, going onto sophomore in high school, I'm introverted, quiet, I have some depression. My parents divorced when I was 12. Later on she met this guy and then all of a sudden she had another kid and married. I hate my half sister too, that little whore can go screw off. She asked how I felt about it and I was bluntly honest and I told her that I think he's trash and she got mad. I didn't even bother to show up at the wedding. I could never find a way to get along with that guy. He really doesn't mean sh*t to me at all. Never liked him and I hate when people tell me I have to get along. Me and him always argue. I don't get why in ANY way I should listen to him when he's just some stranger who thinks he can just walk into the house I was living in for years BEFORE him. He's not my dad and I don't need him to act like it. Me, my younger brother, 13, and me are all close. My dad is still single and the 3 of us always have fun when were together. Yeah, were hella close. I'd say even more than my mom. What pisses me off though, is that I can't see him everyday like how I used to. Instead I had to wake up to that SOB every morning. Him being married to my mom too has even caused me and my brother to argue with my mom and she ALWAYS takes his side. Finally, I moved in with my dad and my mom calls me, but I don't answer her calls. She tells me she misses me, but I don't believe her at all. She did say her man is her priority so why tf is she wasting her time?

My mom told me that my little bro has a secret GF this for months. It doesn't sound crazy, esp since he's a teen, but I feel used bc when he came home late (like 12-3am) I would tell her its a norm teen thing. I did he to get him out of trble, but I never rlly knew what he was doing bc he had my full trust. My mom would take my word for it. Now, I feel I've been making excuses for him. I know it's not my fault, but I can't help but feel slightly responsible. Any thoughts?Should I just forgive? He also continues to lie to me and tries to manipulate me whenever he wants help because he knows that I'm forced to as his sister. I know I'm not gonna cut him out of my life just because of this mistake, but feel really stressed right now. Thoughts? My mom tells me that she always had suspicions and not to beat myself up about it. I feel that I unknowingly helped them get away with it longer because of my unwavering trust in him... even when things began to look suspicious. Tbh..... I honestly feel super hurt and angry that he is still continuing to lie to me (bc he doesnt know that I now know the truth...)

I am 30+ years. A year ago I've learnt my mom is a narcissistic, manipulative, twisted, evil lier. Although I've suspected something was wrong with her since I was 6. All this time she played a martyr, waiting for me to rescue her and myself. First it was my father, who abandoned us (she omitted, that he was already married when she got involved with him). Then it was poverty, then it was my evil aunt, then my mom's job, then a government, a random thief or just anybody or anything at fault but not my mother. I grew up constantly in a fight with someone or something. Until I worked and worked and bought my mom a beach house: defeating poverty and rescuing her from living with my evil aunt (her sister). And finding my father and learning the truth about how it all begun. And voila. Now I am the evil one, that my mom is crying from and shaming and blaming... It's like all my life I've been waiting: if only I can earn money, if only I can buy new home for my mom, if only I can find my father and reconnect...THEN our lives will become better. None of that helped. She is the ultimate reason and problem, who manipulated and brainwashed me into her game "save me, save me". The pain of realization of this is excruciating. I don't know how to proceed...

I'll be 23 in about a month, but my parents are weird about drinking. My dad used to always joke with me about drinking when i was 20 and away at college. I didn't think he cared that much because of the way he acted. As soon as I turned 21 though, he got all serious. Like why were you so chill when I was underaged, but are now so uptight when I'm of age? I literally avoid drinking around them or even talking about it because of how uptight he gets. I don't understand it. Does anyone relate? I don't know what to do. I'm of legal age to drink, but I have to be sketchy about it because my dad all of a sudden decided to be uptight.

So I have a friend whose dad refuses to get a better paying job even though it would help out their family a lot. They re quite poor and don t have a lot, sometimes not even food/water or enough money to pay the electric bill. The dad works for Herbalife (getting almost no money) and says it s his dream job and it ll "eventually" pay off. Well, he s constantly asking my friend and his younger siblings for their money that they work for, says he ll pay them back but then he never does and owes them a couple hundred dollars. Instead of using that money for things they really need, he uses the money to treat himself to movies or dinner and the kids will be at home starving. Or he ll sometimes use it to pay off other debts of his. He doesn t let any of his kids save money or use it for things they need for school or food, he takes it from them. Sometimes without asking. Continues to work at pyramid scheme herbalife and makes next to nothing. Then he gets mad at his kids if they don t seem enthusiastic about giving him most of their money. What can my friend do or say to the dad? It s not possible for him to move out right now but please help for some things to say. He also quit a really good paying job a few years ago to focus on Herbalife because it was his "dream" to not have to work for someone else and said Herbalife would pay off, but he's been doing it now for 5 years or something and still, nothing.

( F 18 ). I have recently gotten my first job at a fast food restaurant and everyone in my family would ask me for money. My dad would find something everytime we would go shopping or find something on ebay and ask me to buy it for him or he would ask me money for gas or for a bill. My younger brother has a job as well and he has an expensive car and is very picky about food so he would ask me to buy food for him. My dad has a saving account and I would transfer money there everytime I would get paid and my older brother would take money from that account and he would return the money weeks later but what pisses me off the most is that my older brother has a job and gets paid a lot more than me like $2.500 per month and I don't get why he touches my money and he takes my money without my permission. I know that you're supposed to help your family and everything but I just get annoyed because they don't spend their money wisely and they wouldn't save any money and turn to me for help. What should I do?

My son, who I raised....graduated high school this year. We use to live by my in-laws, but moved. He wanted to go back to college there, di he decided to stay with his grandparent s. However, once he got to his grandparents house, we were told so we could not come over to see our son. They live 3 hours away. My mother in law makes up stories, and she enjoys hurting people...and meddling, controlling, and spreading lies. She hates other women ..including me She gave my son a new vehicle for graduation, has taken him on expensive trips with his best friend...and totally taken over my role. He's 19 years old now, and is being flattered and bought, and this is very hurtful...my son has always told me I am the best mother and one day he is going to raise his kids just like I raised him. I haven't heard from him since he left ...but she makes sure we know he talks to her all the time everyday almost. They threw a party for him before he left for boot camp...and after he left the party with his friends..we were still there, and my MIL, SIL and her friend, attacked me verbally and physically...and we had to leave. I really did not do anything...they told me they didn't like me, I shouldn't have come to my son's party...even though I was invited. Then they lied about what they did, and I hadn't a chance to talk to my son after that about what happened there. I'm so sorry for my son...I think I have lost him to my monster in law. She has always been mean to me.

So I have a 16 year old cousin who lives with my family and hes recently becoming very disrespectful. He told his grandma to shut up when she called him down to dinner and when I confronted him and told him to apologize he said no. I persisted on telling him to come down and say sorry then he said **** you to me. I don't understand why hes'd doing this. its summer, schools over, theirs no reason for stress from school. all he does is work and play video games. Can someone help me understand this. is this just a normal guy phase they go through growing up cause its super disrespectful.

My sister is 17 and I am 16. Yesterday, I got a text from my sister's boyfriend saying he wants to meet me at Burger King so he can have a private conversation about my sister. This evening I went. He told me that she has fear of gaining weight. She wants to lose weight because she thinks she is too fat. He said that she makes herself puke 3-4 times a day, usually after meals. That explains why she always goes to the bathroom a lot after eating. Apparently, one night after a fancy party we went to, she promised him not to throw up, but she did anyways. He and 3 of her friends are the only people who know about this eating disorder. He wants me to talk to my parents about this, but he doesn't want her to find out he told me, in fear of her breaking up with him. I will tell my parents tomorrow. It is like 12:30 AM now, because I stayed up and hid in the bathtub for a while, and in the middle of the night, I heard her vomiting in the toilet. I am really sad and want to cry. My sister has always been nice, smart, pretty, and skinny. I don't know why she would do this to herself. I want to know what I can do about this. I'm telling my parents about this. I want them to sign her up for a hospital with eating disorders. Are there any hospitals for eating disorders that are good?

So I was sitting there eating my cereal in the table, and my 6 year old brother left all of his trash right next to me and went back to my parents room. I was calling his name and all of a sudden I hear like a thud and my dad comes rushing out to me telling me "he —king hit his head bc you kept calling him, what did you need him for?" And I replied like "he left all his trash there I was just gonna tell him to pick it up." So he got angry saying stuff like "wtf all for trash you lazy ***, why don't you pick it up." I mean they baby him too much in my opinion, he whines, screams at my parents and other things like that. I just wanted to teach him to throw away his trash not get a scolding from my parents.

I am 24 years old, female been out of a 4 year relationship with my now ex boyfriend for over a year now. I moved into my grandparents house after we broke up, and my aunt lives here as well. My grandparents are very old and need a lot of help which I try to offer whenever possible, but my aunt is making me feel trapped because since she can't get out to do much she thinks I shouldn't either. Anytime I just want to go run to target or something I get questioned where I'm going and she makes a big sigh like she's upset I get to go. It makes me feel really bad. Lately she has been relying on me even more to take care and clean up my grandfather when she is right there doing nothing and makes me do it several times a day. We both work full time jobs so I understand she is tired too, but at the same time I don't feel like she should make me feel like I'm equal to her. She didn't have to live like this when she was my age. I'm so stressed from it all and she's constantly asking me to do something and when college starts back up I'm the fall I don't know what I'm gonna do because I can't get any homework or studying done here because she's always calling me for something stupid. I feel really depressed lately, and I've gained almost 50 pounds since moving in here. I feel like I'm throwing my life away and I don't know how to fix it. I hate coming home so much that I work sometimes for 12 hours just because I don't want to go home it's better to work for me it's more of a relief.

My cousin is 18 and kinda free love hippie. She got pregnant and ended up getting an abortion she was kicked out her house I let.jer stay with me my aunt said Uncle Jeremy was on his way and he was mad blah blah she scared because he is x military has guns so I called while my cousin record and he was on speaker I told him to go home if he shows up I'm hitting him I have social problems and can't deal with any serious confrontation without getting violent like I can't be yelled at.

It self defense

History with my dad has not always been lovely father daughter moments. When I was young 1 yo - 26 yo I can remember He was verbally abusive, kicked me out, and has my mother and sister as well as me very afraid of him. Fast forward to my future. I have a husband and a one year old. Mom wants me to forget the past. She is inviting me on Sunday to fathers day. Husband and I do not enjoy being I their presence. My husband doesn't have a great history or memories of both my mom and dad before we got married. They way they treated me, him, etc. Mom is inviting me to a fathers day get together this Sunday. I don't want to go. I feel so guilty because my sister gets on my case about not visiting them as it is. And I just don't want to go. But again this guilt gets me sad. anxiety and nervous kicks in that I am in this type of situation. My question is how do I handle this?what should I do? If I don't feel comfortable going should I stick it trough and just go? Have you dealt with this situation before?

Let me start this off by saying that I am eighteen years old, graduated High School with solid A's, and in my opinion, am pretty responsible. I make sure all household chores are done before leaving, I make sure my mom knows where I'm going and with who, and give her updates just so she knows I'm doing alright. A majority of my friends no longer have curfews, and the one that does has to be home by midnight on weekdays and 1AM on weekends. They go out late sometimes, as a majority of them work until 10PM. I really want to join my friends and quit having to miss out on being with and enjoying my time with them because of an early curfew. I asked my mom why I can't stay out later, and if I could have a similar curfew to my friends, and received a flat out no. Her reasoning? She says she worries too much, that affects her sleep, and so therefore I'm not allowed out. I understand that she worries, and she agrees that she over worries, but she does not want to make the effort to stop over worrying and thus letting me out later. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can convince her to let me live a little? This is beginning to drive me stir-crazy.

For example I warned my dad that his wooden fence would fall over and he just laughed at me saying that will NEVER happen. Well guess what? It fell over. Another time I warned him that he should tow a car with a broken waterpump cause he can do far greater damage and he laughed saying that will NEVER happen. Well guess what? The engine blew up cause he kept driving another 100 miles on the freeway no less. Another time I warned him the hood on the car needs to be tied down since it can fly open. He laughed saying that will NEVER happen. Well guess what? The hood flew open and he caused a pile up on the freeway! Another time I warned him to hire a mechanic to fix a vehicle instead he tried to fix it himself. It caught fire in the middle of the night and would've burned the family to death had I not smelled the smoke and put it out. There are dozens of other times I've warned him and he didn't listen which cost him a lot financially. So can you explain to me why he keeps refusing to listen to my advice when I'm always right????

I just find out that they are planing a trip soon and I just found out about it which made me fell left out

my brother is so dumb yet big . just because he is big my parents think he is genious god.dumb as!shole got his hand and leg bleeding taping a glass. so you can see how dumb he is. the three of them bully me cause i am the smallest. then what other reason you can think of? this is so unfair that just some asshole is bigger than others boss others around and always get his/her way no matter how wrong and dumb they are. whenever i talk my dad is like shut up lil ***** then when my as!shole brother comes up they are like hello sir . boss how was your day. have you seen those big as!sholes at school that the whole thing they know is bulling other and show their power to them but they are so dumb they don't know how to whip their as!s? excatly like that. he hits my mom for stupid reason . for example crying loud. couldnt this spoiled brat ask my mother to be quiet? threatens my dad too always but tends to annoy my mom and me he hit her with a plate so hard she bleeding.a big wound. there is no reason existing for hitting others or bulling others. when you have a lot of power doesn't mean you can use it in these ways. if i were my dad i disiplined him in a way that he didnt dare to say a word. my dad has got himself in trouble by making a family bully instead of kicking his as!s out of house he let him be at home till 28 year old. boys at age 18 get a job. then look what situation is at our home.wth?

I was not lucky to be born to good people. My mom had me from a married man (lots of consequences from this). My dad abandoned me for 20 years and reappeared in my life only when he thought he could get something out of me. My mom was there every step of the way, jealous, incidiously malicious, making sure I don't succeed in anything, while brainwashing and manipulating me into her slave, caregiver and just a psychological punching bag. I was lucky to move to another country. A year ago or so after years of research, I've finally grasped the toxicity of these relationships. We had a bad argument 3 days ago. She crossed all the lines yet again. I am dealing with personal crisis, having her do this at this time is like being punched and kicked while already laying on the ground. She gets off on hurting me (something hard to fully grasp). I am not ready to go no contact, which probably is the best way. But at this time, I have to take care of myself, because there is literally not a single person on earth I could count on. No contact with my dad for 3 months. How lond should I take a break from my mom? A week? A month? The only thing, she is alone in the beach house I bought for her. She has neighbors there, a friend not far. She should be ok? The bottom line, she is an adult. I was thinking, after I moved out, she hasn't called me for 4 years, didn't worry if I was ok or anything happened to me...or still alive...

I literally hate my parents. I don't know why, but I just do. Maybe it's because I feel like they are always holding me back from things. Sometimes I just wish they would move far away and never talk to me again. My life would be so much easier if they were not here. And i'm only 15 so I have to deal with them for at least 3 more years. Is it wrong to feel that way?

Someone intrudes on Kevin while he's feeling out of sorts & looking opposite of presentable; he even had his door shut for privacy but the person insisted on letting her see him. After he complains to his mom about it, she defends the person who intruded on him. Yet, she considered him to be bothering at his cousin & his cousin's friends altho the cousin clearly invited him so he accepted; while there, he doesn't say nor do anything. If not why?

My dad works a lot as a financial advisor, so we don't see him very much. He is leaving at 7:30am and gets home at 8pm. And my whole evening has to be planned around dinner. If I have friends over, they either have to leave by 7 so we can make dinner, or they can't come over before 9ish. (I always have to tell them, after my mom calls me, that, „my mom wants you guys to go away, we are eating". It's kinda awkward to tell them. Especially people I have over for the first time. Or If I'm hanging out with someone, I'll have to be home by 7, or can't leave until 9. (I usually say we are going out, and I have to get ready) I love my family, but it's so hard to schedule around dinner. And my friends are people, especially now in the summer, to leave their houses and don't go home all day, and are just hanging out all day, having fun. And I HAVE TO be at home. Even on summer days. If I start arguing my parents get mad, that family doesn't mean anything to me. Is there anything I could do? (17yo boy)

Last year I bought him gifts and both my sister and I took him out to dinner. The reason I just want to show up for Father's day gift-less is because he hasn't asked to spend any time with me. It's only ever family time with my sister and never just him asking to spend 1 on 1 time. He was absent a lot in my life growing up and still is in so many ways. I just don't feel he deserves to be rewarded more than my presence that he takes for granted. Am I wrong? He also has a 28 year old son who has never worked a legit job paid by government and he never helps me and my sister with anything! Yet, my dad babies him, allows him to be entitled, and has never stuck up for me and my sister when my brother verbally abused us. I just don't like my dads "morals"

My family is small now because no one talks to each other. No family is perfect even though mine is dysfunctional with continued cycle of abuse and neglect. I don't have a good loving relationship with my parents but I pretend I do. Everyone is pretty negative, so I cherish the good moments even though the bad ones outweigh the good, a lot. My dad has a problem with anyone who is successful and owns nice things. I don't know why I let it bother me, I just want a better life for me but feel they would judge and even disown me. My dad is already an absent parent he has NEVER showed me true value as his daughter or person. He enjoys calling my mom names and blaming fights on her even when she's not involved. He will say things like "you guys are just like your mother" recently I told him to stop that because it doesn't solve anything.. At least my mom asks me to hang out and spend time with me which he doesn't. My dad has never asked me to go out somewhere just me and him like a father-daughter date. I can tell how much his lack of fatherly "morals" has negatively affected my siblings, it hurts me. My sister has slept with ALOT of men from not knowing her self-worth. My brother has turned into an abusive narcissistic loser, never worked a real job. Why's it so HARD to for everyone else to see through the BS and not want to change and break the cycle. My siblings are like grenades for my parents dysfunction I just want 1 health you relationship in life

While you guys were on a date, they talked so much that they didn't swallow their saliva because I guess they are talking so much they don't think to... And the saliva starts to build up in their mouth and you can see all this saliva in their mouth they are supposed to swallow. And the saliva starts to build up on the corners of their mouth. While you are eating your food, you see this. And it happens a bunch of times. Your date doesn't think to swallow all that freaking saliva in their mouth and it looks like the saliva is just going to drip down his chin eventually because there is so much. But it never does because it starts to become kind of foamy... I went on a date yesterday with this guy and he was doing this and I don't understand why he didn't think to swallow and it was so freaking disgusting.
