My BF has a temper/anger issue. During arguments he will yell, say hurtful things to me, about me, my family, or friends, punch walls or doors, break things, throw things, block doorways so i cannot leave, hold my arm so i cannot walk away, sometimes push me, and one time pretended to throw an elbow in my face. Things were better for awhile. So good that we moved in together, i was confident those things would never happen again. Until this past week... things went back to how they were. Him yelling, insulting me, breaking things, grabbing my arm so i wouldn't leave, etc. We got into an argument the other day that resulted in me calling 911. I had tried over and over again to get him to settle down and have a conversation with me. He doesn't do this so i tell him i am going to grab some things and leave. He throws something across the room towards me, yells, insults me, etc. Then he starts hitting himself and getting in my face with clenched fists then storming out of the room & continues to hit himself and anything near him. I warned him that i will call 911 if he doesn't stop. He doesn't. I am scared so I make the call to ensure not only the safety of myself but his too. I didn't even think about the fact that he works for the dept that would be responding to the call. I didn't mean to cause any tension or work issues, i just wanted to feel safe when getting my things. I thought i made the right choice... so why do i feel so guilty?

My cousin is 29, and she's engaged to this 44 year old man. My dad and I, are happy for them. I've seen them together. My cousin actually looks older than him. He looks in his early 30s. My cousin looks to be in her late 30s. My dad and I think the guy could do better (he is rather attractive) My sisters and some other family members think it's wrong. What's so wrong about it?

my ultimate dream is to be an author. I live in a small town with hardly any writing jobs. The only writing things are unpaid internships which I've already did all of them in my city. I have a degree in communications, concentration in journalism. bachelors. I'm currently working on a book that i hope to have published next year but in the meantime I need some sort of income that will allow me to get my own apartment and cover things like food/rent/ bills and leisure activity. I was thinking about working at ulta or sephora since love makeup also but I'm not good at doing makeup on other people, I'm only good at doing it on myself. I also love fashion and being a personal stylist would be good money but that's another job that's extremely hard to obtain. any advice??

my parents used to be so proud of everything I did but now, they just seem to get angry over every little thing and we cuss each other out. Why do parents love us more when we are little? I am pretty much the same as I was back then, I have not changed much it is them who have changed, even my aunt and grandma seem to love me less

I'm 16 and from Texas. I've been wanted to move out for 4 years. I tried moving before but she wouldn't let me. My dad and grandma and other people said before it was okay if I move with them. I've tried moving with my dad a year ago and she stopped letting me go over. I have money saved up and have an active job. I can afford to pay rent if I live by myself. I'm very good with money. They don't ever give me attention or care for me. When they go out of town they don't bring me supper back. They always choose going to my younger siblings sports events but don't go to mine. They always talk crap about me when I'm in my room. I just want to be happy and have a family environment. What can I do?

My sister's, my mom and her sister's all love to gossip and they always claim to know what's best for everybody. My brothers are all losers and really have nothing going for them. I'm getting tired of trying to motivate them to do better because they end up right back where they started. One of my sisters' husband is a real hypocritical jerk and drunk. No matter how much of his BS he keeps throwing out to her and her kids, she never seems to get it and keeps coming back. Every time I see one of them, I just sigh in disappointment. Partly, it is at them but mostly it's at myself because I can't never seem to move on. In a couple months, I'm gonna get my own house and I fear I'll never want to visit or talk to them again. I'm currently living with my sister (the one with the Drunk) and I can't to get out. There some things you just aren't supposed to see and I've seen enough. Grammar fix: I'm currently living with my sister (the one with the Drunk) and I can't wait to get out. There are some things you just aren't supposed to see and I've seen enough. Morally superior? No. It's just time for me to make my own path and I'll let them do the same.

she works in retail and currently has a two week vacation off work so i told her the entire downstairs should be swept. She acts like sweeping the floor is hard. she said " it's hard to sweep because we live in such a big house that it's a lot of work and also makes my back hurt." she said she's not that skilled at sweeping the floor. She cooks, washes clothes, and cleans the counters but that's not good enough as she needs to sweep the floor as well. I told her life is more than cooking. She love to cook but don't like to clean

I got invited to Disney with my boyfriend family ( I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years) and I come from a very strict Hispanic household. I never went to a sleepover, I never go out late at night and party, all I do is work, and stay at home all day. They always let my sister who is wat younger than me to go to sleepovers and go out late. I am 18 years old and the "you're an adult do whatever you want" saying doesn't work for on my parents. Any advice?

I'm currently in china and i am trying to book a trip to Japan because I've always dreamed of visiting but my mother cannot go with me because of her passport issues so she wants me to go with her cousins sister in law and her two daughters whom are going in a few days. I know they are nice people but I haven't seen them in over 12 years. I am also a shy person but can be really outgoing once you get to know me, but I just don't know if I should go? I feel like it'll be a great experience. I also don't want to feel like I'm intruding on their family vacation but they assured me I'm not. Should I go???

I am in big trouble so I need ways to kill my time while I will be grounded. I will not have my electronics and I will not be allowed leave the house. I am a boy if that helps.

It seems like whenever I want to get Out of the house to live my life, my parents never support me and tell me that if I go anywhere without them,I will get kidnapped by human traffickers. For example, I wanted to go to a holistic fair and my mom asked if it was safe over and over even when it was open to the public and in a area with a lot of people. We get there nothings wrong my dad followed me and my mom there just to say that paganism and Witchcraft is make-believe. Another one is when I wanted to start working a babysitting job and she said the same thing and said the website isn't a valid one and it might be a set up to kidnap me. And now when I want to study abroad in Iceland or Germany in IT because of the free tuition she says traveling is too dangerous because of trump and these countries don't like blacks.and the traffickering too never mind the USA has it much more. She makes me regret having being born female and black sometimes. They literally do this every time and it not like I'm bugging them every second because I scared of their response. I'm financially dependent on my parents. I really want to leave them. Before I could drive they didn't even want to drop me off a church.

I'm a 13 year old male, and I like the look. Even though my parents are far from conservative and know that my hair isn't theirs, I'm still a bit scared to tell them. I've worn a beanie around them for a few days but taken it off when they aren't around, which is normal for me. I don't want to just randomly show them either, and I don't know what else to do. Thank you if you take the time to answer.

so my dad left my mom 8 months ago and my mom has always been very depressed and has become more depressed ever since my dad left. they continue to fight and are always acting crazy and doing stupid things like my mom not letting my dad leave the house and recording each other and my mom putting her van infront my dads car to not let him leave untill he checks out the fridge and stuff like that, recently my mom has frequently become seemingly paranoid about everything my dad does and begins to accuse me of defending him every time i suggest that my dad didn't do something that she thinks he did. she has also threatened to kill herself on multiple occasions and she always thinks the world is against her and if you disagree with her she gets mad and she always says "stop arguing" and threatens to kick me out of the house and gets really mad every time i dont agree with her or get upset with the way she is treating me, the problem is i cant call cps or behavioral or the police because my mom is the only source of income me and my brother have to be able to live, my dad doesnt even make half as much as my mom and if my mom were to lose her job me and my brother would be screwed and im about to enter college and i need any help i can get but i want to get my mom the mental help she needs without risking her job. does anyone have any ideas of what to do or who i should call? Living with my dad is not an option he is 10x worse than my mom and barely makes enough to support himself

My 12 year old sister is the youngest of 5 girls. She started puberty and has become a moody, angsty adolescent. My parents had more energy to deal with the older 4 girls. Nowadays, they no longer tolerate the same kind of drama from my youngest sister. They have less patience for immature preteen behaviour (talking back, moodiness, door slamming, or pushing boundaries). It's like my parents have grown old and tired of it, even though my sister just began this stage. They didn't put up with the older 4 girls' teenage attitudes either, but it seems like once the 5th child arrived, they're even more stricter about not putting up with it.

At first i noticed my sons underwear started to have pee stains on the very front then i started noticing heavier skid marks in his undies for a boy his age you expect to see something but today he comes home from school showered and i picked up his clothes and when i was putting them in with a load of laundry i noticed abpair of his white underwear ripped at the band in the back and smaller rips near the little legoles in the back i don't understan how his undies got like that ive asked him and he avoids it and hes in 6th grade

At age 20, I will graduate with my nursing degree from a community college and become a Registered Nurse. My boyfriend will be a mechanic by the time he's 20.

My mom has no family in this state, her family is a few states away and my dad died so she has no one to depend on. I m turning eighteen next year and I m thinking about moving out with my boyfriend of three years when I graduate. My mom is mostly a very toxic person and her negativity mainly falls on me and I don t know what I should do next year. My boyfriend wouldn t mind her moving in with us but I feel bad because of the negative atmosphere she brings.

I'm a 29 year old guy with a 31 year old sister. While my sister loves me, she's not good at showing it as she has admitted it. While I love hugging for instance, she tries to avoid it when she can. She kisses my parents on the cheek when she leaves our house but doesn't think of kissing me. I know I can't expect people to be perfect. I guess I just feel sad because my parents weren't very affectionate towards my sister and I when we were growing up. There was little love in the house. So how I can deal with this?

I did nothing to her. She's always hated me. I don't know much about her. We didn't grow up together. She was a rebellious child. She was in and out of jail. Was in a gang and my mom sent her away to a group home. She visited yesterday and bullied me the whole time. We went out and the whole time we were out she bullied me. Got all in my face. Threatened to spit on me. I don't know what her problem is. I don't ever wanna see her again. My family doesn't either.

Hey everyone, crazy question. I have complex family problems (who doesn't). I'm a musician and am in school for music to get a music teaching job. My family is divorced. Every decision I try to make- my father tells me it is the wrong decision and that I need to focus on music instead of other job options, my mother tells me that I am too much like my father when it comes to music- and need to find something else to make money doing. I can't make either happy. Yet, for some reason, their word choices make me have a depressed conflicting mental burden and I shut down. I've become almost paralyzed to the point that I'm only worried about what makes them happy, but yet I'm not even doing that right. I don't even remember what makes me happy anymore.

I hate her more then the force of all the suns in the universe and beyond.

I'm a 16 year old girl, and have 2 older sisters, one who is 4 years older and another that is a decade and a couple of years older than me. As we grew up I guess we just sort of lost the sibling connection. My oldest sister moved away when I was in my elementary school years as she was in her 20's by then so as a result I don't have much memories of being with her than my other sister. Last year though we all got into contact again and we're close but I wouldn't say sibling close, just friendly with each other. Due to the fact that my older sister is going to finish her final year of college, and the other one is already living her life with her fiance and busy with work, we all just have our own things going on. I sometimes feel that we don't have the connection that most siblings who get along do. It might just be the differences in our ages since we are all at different parts of life, with me finishing my final year of high school soon. Does anybody else have trouble getting along with their siblings too, and if so how do you deal with it?

Hi, Im a female and 17 years old. My dad constantly pressures me to get a job ever since summer break has started. Its been 3 weeks into summer break and since then, my dad has constantly been pressuring me to get out, be more social, and get a job. Little does he know how hard it is to get a first job being 17 with no work experience and still attending highschool. I've been applying for jobs and calling but i havent gotten any interviews. I dont have any friends so its kind of hard to be more social and to get out with no money & no friends. Im also anti-socail, and i have social anxiety so it makes it even more difficult to open up to people and make friends. I do have a boyfriend so i play videos games with him since summer break has started. I try not to video games every day so it wont seem like im addicted to my boyfriend. But it just seems like my dad always has his eye on me and wont let me catch a break. I get good grades, and Im almost a valevictorian,i dont do drugs, im not pregnant, i do my chores, i have good behavior, and i dont have sex. But it seems like even after all that my dad is still not satisfied. He says that i run up all the bills because i dont get out and that by the time i turn 25 im gonna have all types of illnesses because im not active. He also said he's gonna give me a curfew and take my phone at night because ive been going to sleep late at night but its summer break so you would think he wouldnt mind. But nope everything bothers him.help plz

Me and my whole family just relocated our family business to southern texas. We didn't do much research on the place and are very disappointed in our choice. It's very hot here, the people tend to be dirty. They smoke with babies in cars and tie there dogs outside to trees 24/7. Its very.... You get it. We are from the west and it's just not our place here. We tend to complain about stuff when were all together and stuff gets brought up. Anytime we complain my sister freaks out. Says she hates being around the family anymore and uses it as an excuse to not be around. She didnt even see my mother on mother's day 10 min away. The whole family is planning on relocating again soon probably up north. But not my sister, she thinks its paradise here lol. Is my sister being overly dramatic? Do we have a right to not like this place and voice our opinions? Or should we just shut up and fake it?

Because my other family member is trying to keep it quiet

My family tree isn't getting wider at the bottom like most people's .

I just want to die I am so upset. My parents won't want me to call them and yet my uncle, his fiance, and their kids will be about 2 miles away. I cannot go on. What do I do? I want to die.
