Lasy time I saw him was when he was like 5-6. And that's because my parents confiscat1id his video game for the weekend. So basically, he cried for himself. When our uncle died, whose very to our family. Everyone but him, dad, and my other older didn't cried. But at least, my older brother and father were sad by the look of it. Him, otoh, had a straight, the only difference was his clothes. He only cares about himself. He used to be physically abusive to me when were younger. All of his relationships barely lasted. I was told that because he either lies, or won't stop cheating. He never gets mad, is always lying. I'm pretty sure if I died, he wouldn't give a ****. He only acknowledges when it's for money and whatnot.

My new phone my parents bought they can take ot away they said cuz they boight it if i made my own money nd bought my own one could they still ive asked some freinds they said no as long as im 18 nd i bought it w my own money but wanna be sure , i mean if i earn my own money to buy my phone they cant im sure but still

In the past, whenever my sister would get upset w/ her bf she would take it out on me. She would come to me for advice and i would give her advice but eventually it started to stress me out learning that her bf would do so much and she still wanted to stay in her toxic mentally and physically abusive relationship. I decided to distant myself and she got upset w/ me and decided to go on social media saying that im fat, i'm cheating on my husband(she admitted she made it up)she tried to call me a bad mom because i wasn't ready to let my daughters dad who raped me around my daughter. My husband tried to figure out why she was doing all of this and she basically cursed him and said some really mean things to him. neither my husband or I have ever came at her with negativity we just wanted to help her. Stuff like this would happen every Year but i forgave and we started talking again and she eventually started telling me her relationship drama again and i started to distant myself again. She eventually called me and told me her BF gave her herpes and then tells me that she just cheated on him and will continue to cheat on him with a married man instead of just dumping him. She didn't realize my husband was across the room and heard everything so i basically told her how her cheating with a married man is wrong especially if she has herpes and she acted nonchalant about it. when i hung up my husband immediately told me he doesn't want her at our home or want me around her anymore.

One day I was driving to a public town meeting,I was 17 at the time and need to go there to graduate from high school. My mom was in the passenger seat. We were arguing really bad on the way..I didn't know how to drive very well I was super nervous from driving and arguing that so was swerving a lot. Then I said something that my mom didn't like I can't even remember what I said but it must have been rude. She smacked me really hard in the mouth and I wasn't expecting that at all as she had never done that and I was so upset that she did that to me that I impulsively smacked her arm. I would do anything to take that moment back. But I can't and I hate that part of me. I still think of it al lot even though she has forgiven me but I constantly think that I'm the end I'm going to go to hell and I start to think that I should kill myself since I don't deserve to be alive and I might go to hell anyway for doing that to my mother, the biggest blessing in my life. Any advice?

I'm on vacation with my family and I overheard my dad call my mom a milf. It's weird cause she's my mom but that's dad. Idk

i'm 18 and graduated so i'm not running away or anything first of all my mom and i have always had a rough relationship. fleas long as i can remember yelling and anger has been her first language. when i was ten she called me a *****, when i was eleven an asshole. nowadays yelling at all sends me into fight or flight. she does things that upset me, then blames me for being upset calling me ungrateful and saying that i'm overlooking everything she does right. she's done things like forcibly grab me or tell me she wants to hit me when she's mad. i should mention that i don't think i am or ever have been a bratty or awful teenager. i'm diligent about keeping my room clean, getting good grades, i've never drank, smoked, or some drugs in my life. i try so hard every day to be kind and good, the problem is is that i can't accept or trust people telling me good things about my at all because my self esteem has been so destroyed. she makes me feel so small i want to move out obviously. it's time anyways. but i also want to cut her off, at least mostly. i can't stand her affecting me or hurting me any more than she has. i need to move on and try to heal. am i wrong for wanting this? it seems harsh and my mom will definitely think im being ungrateful for it, but is it honestly justified?

How can I fix my broken family ? My mom is EXTREMELY angry at my dad for not standing up to my grandma for being rude to her. Its been going on for too long and they might get a divorce and my mom kicked my dad out of the house. She kept screaming at him to leave but my dad wouldn't because he didn't want to leave me and my sister (we are teenagers). My mom called the cops and they came to talk to us to make sure we were safe. My dad left and I don't know when he is coming back. I love both my parents but this is going too far. I can't stop crying and my mom is very emotionally unstable. I'm afraid she has a very bad anger problem, similar to the one HER dad had (he left her when she was a kid and never came back). I don't want to choose sides and I don't want any of them to leave. I'm feeling, depressed, hopeless, and anxious. My dad is texting me still but I just feel SO awful now because I have no control over the situation. HELP

Tonight we are trying to go to dinner to celebrate Father's day. My grandpa and dad and everyone decided on Stevie B's, although my Dad didn't really want to go there anyways because he's trying to stay away from cheese. I asked if we could go somewhere else because it's a pizza buffet and I am lactose intolerant so eating cheese makes me super sick/throwing up. I don't really care where else we eat, but am I being selfish and self-centered as my Mom said?

So my girlfriend did not let my mom in. I was not home and didn't feel like catching up to my mom who I don't want to see for a long time. My mom called finally and I said I was busy and she can't expect people to be welcomingvwhen she herself said my girlfriend is not welcome in her home. Plus all of the mean things my mom said and did my f2f remembers me telling her. So should I not feel bad? I don't want anything from my mom. I'm glad I moved away.

My grandfather brought all his grandchildren watches before he died didn't tell us and they were given to us at his funeral. \it is an item that is supposed to have sentimental value. Here are the issues: 1) I am not a sentimental person and have never kept something for sentimental reasons 2) It is a crap, poor brand watch. I have several watched, various types for various purposes. They are fancy, some are designer, some extremely durable. They all make my grandfathers watch look like a joke. 3) I have never worn the watch except from at the funeral. Where I put it on because everyone else did. I would have preferred to wear my actual watch. I have had it for 7 years and worn it once. 4) I wasn't even that close to my grandfather, didn't know him all that well. Am I an a**hole if I throw this watch out? I have been keeping it against my will. And have only kept it thinking it is wrong to get rid of it. It was a nice gesture from him, but ultimately he has burdened his grandchildren with an unwanted gift that they will keep out of a perceived notion of guilt. What should I do?

Ever since we were young he has always made it seem like he had a problem with me. He'll repeatedly say, "the only reason you get girls is because of your eyes, but my face is better." Or he'll ask random people in the mall who looks better out of the both is us. I genuinely don't see what comparing looks achieves, and I never know how to respond/what to say during these situations because it's weird. I think my cousin is an arrogant and conceited fool, but I'm not sure. I need some input

I live with my boyfriend. We live in his "childhood home". It's not in his name even though we've been paying taxes and its only us living there now. His Mom used to live there (along with his drunk/jobless cousin) but for the past two years it's just been us. Even then we were still paying ALL the bills. His Mom randomly goes to the house, doesn't tell me, doesn't tell my boyfriend. I know this because stuff is either moved or she brings things from her other house and leaves it there as "storage" because everything else in that house is hers. She only took her bed a dresser an clothes to stay with her Mom after her Dad passed. Do I ask to put her stuff in an actual storage room? We need to make major renovations but my BF (of 13 years) is stalling. Do I just move out? Tired of his family randomly showing up, or entering the house without telling us (because they have a key or the key is outside). Thoughts?

There is no reasoning with them, they are mad no matter what I do or don't do.

Long story short. I come from a quintessentially dysfunctional family with intrasexual internalized sexism and mental health anomalies. I had a very traumatic childhood riddled with sexual and emotional abuse and bullying. My mother was not very warm or affectionate and showed favor toward my eldest brother that sexually molested and abused me. I did not disclose this until I was a teenager and tired or being chastised for being a runaway and sex trafficked. I blurted it out in pain/spite. Of course my mother did classic blame the victim. "Well, why did you not tell me?" I found out her husband who was just released from prison after serving 33 year bid is not my biological father. Suppposed she was date raped. They told me he was my father for years. So, my most recent grevience is tht my mom.just received lawsuit a settlement. She told me she would give me money as I have student loans. She did not follow suit and come tpnfind out has helped others before me. I am.hurt and want to ex communicate.

I just didn't want to come off like I'm looking down on her or that I'm on some moral high ground. I'm just hurt by it.

My boyfriend is at a summer internship 6 and a half hours away, and this weekend I am free so I figured a little road trip would be fun. We would be able to go to the river walk, amusement park, etc. The only problem is.... my parents are not okay with me driving alone. I am 19 and have been driving for 3 and a half years with no accidents and no tickets. My friends are all busy this summer working or taking summer classes, so I really have no one. I just really don't want to miss an opportunity for a fun-filled weekend with the one I love because we don't have any of that fun stuff here at home. I'm not usually one to disobey and lie to my parents, but I honestly feel that I am old enough to make my own decisions at this point. I only live at home in the summer when I'm done with classes, and I feel as if they try to control me again being that I'm back home. So, do I stand up and make my own decisions and deal with consequences if something happens or just stay behind because I am very torn on what to do.

I've grown up with only one parent who works often. I was and still am a latch-key kid and when I rarely do get hugs there's a lot of love there from my Ma. But with father's day coming up it kind of made me wonder from a psychological aspect if kids got different feelings/needs from their parents' affection. example: would a father's hug make you feel more safe than a mother? Would a mother's make you feel more loved? Obviously this is more of an opinion/how you grew up kind of thing, but looking out at the "majority" I'd like to know what the 'average' person feels. Really weird question, I know. But it's kind of a question I've always wanted to ask but can't ask in person

I'm a 19 year old male, my dad has hated me for as long as I can remember. I remember when I was 4 years old he would hit me, he would call me gay and tell me to act like a real man. I'm not even gay now, I have a girlfriend but he still thinks that even now. He comes in my room and tells me all kinds of stuff, calls me names, tells me he hates me, but he has never done any of this in front of my mom. He is 65 years old and acts like a little kid. I am planning on moving out soon because now I am becoming an adult and I have both of my parents against me, I have told my mom my dad's secrets about him cheating on her, about everything and she has never believed me. I have witnessed my dad cheating on my mom, but she always sides with him. I am the only child so I probably was a mistake, when I was a kid he never really spoke to me, I was depressed and always sat in my room (I had no friends either). He collects classic cars and that is all he cares about, he never talks to me. When I say hi to him he literally tells me to "F**ck off". He only talks to me when he needs something, I hate him. I hate him a lot. What should I do? do you think therapy would work? I can't seem to get over this. The only reason I am writing this is because he just started a fight with me and now my parents are both mad at me, telling me they hate me and my dad has told me that he wishes I was dead before.

So I recently moved out from what is technically my mother s apartment. Both our names are on the lease. Mine is supposed to be getting removed in another 2 months since it was recently signed. My stepfather lives with her but isn t working yet. I was helping out with rent and Bill s and my own stuff. I left suddenly because they are controlling and I was basically losing my mind. They hate my bf and wanted him dead because I wanted to leave. She now wants my help with a phone that I used to use. I got my own phone and account because the old phone was under her name so she was able to disable some services like data and messages. She wants me to help pay that bill because its 3 phones and it s about 300 a month. To return it, it ll be 500 since it was leased and the remaining payments would have to be made. She s the only one paying rent and Bill s at the moment. Should I help her out or let her deal with it? I was thinking I could give her most of it but I m not really sure because of my other bills and I didn t really want to be petty.

I love my mom but she's very judgmental and is quick to tell me something i like is stupid or as she likes to say, "gay". I'm 16 and a half and so i've been kind of experimental with my look because i'm bored of it and just want to have fun enjoying life. she totally shut me down when i asked if i could dye my hair black when my hair is already dark brown. I get crap for any clothing i wanna wear that i normally don't. idk what's her issue but everything is dumb or gay to her and every time she makes a remark, i feel insecure and even stupid for thinking i could pull off that hair color or shirt. whatever it is.

I am mortified. My teacher and I have always been close but it wasn't until junior year he started making really creepy remarks, calling me sexy and telling me boys must look at my butt all the time. Sophomore year it was just calling me pretty and stuff but the older I got the worse it got. I just turned 18 recently and it's gotten worse. It went from slight hand brushes against my butt after a hug that I brushed off as an accident because I never ever wanted to believe this man would do this to me, to now when we sat talking he put his hand WAY too close on my inner thigh and getting really close to me when we talked, like weirdly close and putting his hand on my face. He called my body sexy and it was so weird, he did that junior year but not as much as he did senior year. I never said anything before because I look at this man as my father and I ALWAYS TELL HIM THAT. I NEVER LED HIM ON EVER. I love this man AS A FATHER AND TRUSTED ADULT and he has a family and I don't want to ruin his life by telling anyone this but I just need clarification that this is inappropriate and it's not in my head. I feel so stupid for not recognizing this before, like I did but I never wanted to believe he was capable of this. Is this abuse???

Hello, I'm 15 years old and I need help with a situation. My uncle has been living with us for almost 2 years and I never really enjoyed it because his living here really makes me feel uncomfortable. My uncle came to live with us because he wasn't doing well with money and my mom is extremely generous so she offered him a place. She never asked me my sister's or my dad's option on it but next thing I knew I was moving in items for my rude uncle. He has health problems so he has so much medicine. Which I don't mind but at the time he still was smoking and wanted to get better that's what bothered me. He has terrible hygiene and doesn't seem to care about the mess he makes. My mom cooks for him and she never really cooks for me and my sister because she thinks we can cook for ourselves which is true but my mom cooks like crazy for him and she doesn't bother to make us breakfast every once and a while if we're running late. And at the end of this I found out he isn't paying my mom anything and I know he has money now because of a lawsuit. My uncle said he was gonna leave in months and every month he keeps saying that but its been 2 years. My mom doesn't work and my dad works about 12 hours 6 times a week. Before he came to live with us my family was doing okay with money not enough to go on vacations or enjoy a fancy dinner but enough to be happy and mostly stress free.

My step mom is currently 5 months pregnant with twins boys. I am a girl and my mom got pregnant with me when my parents were teenagers. But, my mom died giving birth to me. These will be my first brothers, or siblings at all, and I am worried on how I should treat them or take care of them. Do you have any tips?
