I'm a 13 year old boy. My mom's concerns are always about my older sister's safety, friendship issues, self esteem or emotions. It seems like I get less attention because more time is focused on my sister. It looks like she's the favourite kid or something idk. My sister has no special needs or disabilities that needs more attention. Its just always been this way- my mom has always worried more about my sister even growing up as little kids. Once shes gotten older, my mom started paying even more attention to her. My dad is a working dad and doesnt spend much time with us, but when he does, he's pretty laid back. I think my mom worries about me and dad too, but not as much as with my sister. I'd say my sister is her top priority when it comes to her safe ty

How did my mom and I and the rest of the family stay safe. It is my mom's sister

He passes out money like it's water bottles. So for my finances I can't cut him from my life. What do I do? He's a bad-bad man.

Growing up I was the bad child of the family. One time a local restaurant I embarrassed the hell out of an aunt of mine and She sometimes still brings it up. I apologize that I am not perfect like her lol. She is well organized, my brother is a great athlete, my cousin is a lawyer and is the favorite grandchild, and everyone else has natural gifts. I don't have natural talents like the rest of my family.

So basically i'm 16 and my parents are gone for the week so the babysitter is taking care of me. And I was on my iMac 2008 computer doing homework summer assignment and my babysitter came in and gave me mac and cheese and said it's dinner and it was cold and uncooked so i told her and she SCREAMED at me saying i don't care i spent time on this eat it so i said ok and she slapped my face HARD for being disrespectful and i have a big bruise and she left the room and as she was walking she walked into the computer and it fell on the floor and smashed and the screen cracked and broke. what do i do

My daughters who's 14 went to see my brother and his family. My daughter is self conscious like most girls, cause she's definitely got some junk in the trunk. She came home and was crying to me. I asked her what's the matter and she said her uncle made a bunch of hurtful comments to her. She said they saw girls around her age and he made comments like don't you want to look more like that and other filthy comments. I was so disturbed. My husband and I are furious but don't know if I should really let it go and not let her go around him again. What are your thoughts

I'm considering making her quit the swim team. I received her 9th grade report card in the mail and her grades were pretty bad. 2 Bs, and the rest are Cs. Maybe spending hours everyday after school in a pool isn't good for her. I'm considering not letting her try out for next season.

So I grew up in New York as a kid and ended up moving to Georgia after. I lived in Georgia for 11 years . Mostly grew up there and graduated high school . At 21 I came to New York to visit in December and have been here since then basically living . I sleep in the same room with my grandma. But now I have a uncle who is moving out soon and his girlfriend and kids are all going with him. Honestly I live in a house with my aunt , her boyfriend and her kids. Plus my grandma. My uncle temporarily moved in so he could save up and move out. Now that it has come my uncle and his girlfriend who I'm really close to have offered me a space and to go with them. My grandma was also offered a space at my other aunts house but she is indecisive about it. I'm willing to go and start over with my uncle and his girlfriend but my grandma won't allow it. Plus I did talk to my mom and dad about it and they said it was alright. My parents are separated. My dad lives in New York and my mom in Georgia. But to be honest I'm willing to go and move in with my uncle and his girlfriend but something in me is giving me 2nd thoughts. What do I do,

I'm the first in my southern Christian family to come out as gay. Not only this but I stopped believing in the family faith not long after coming out. My relationship with my father has never improved since. He constantly tells my younger brother (who I love and came out to first) that he shouldn't be like me, and he paints me in the light of a failure. I most recently expressed some questions I had about attending college or not (my passion is writing, so being a doctor or the likes isn't on my mind). After this he adopted this mindset of "its your life, you can go off and do whatever you want" all the while being super condescending about how Jesus will eventually find me. Next I hear about how he talked to my brother behind my back AGAIN (something he has done many times) and reminded him he doesn't have to be like me. And then he's complaining about me to my brother, annoyed that I haven't found a job yet (I've been on a job hunt all summer) and how I only want to stay in my room and do nothing all the time. I just don't know how to react to this. I wish I could not care what he thinks and move on, just as easy as that, but I can't. It really hurts me. I realize my situation isn't anywhere as difficult as some may have with their fathers, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice about getting over this, about not caring what he thinks and moving on. Thank you.

me and my sister just had a huge fight, to the point where i had to defend myself with a dirty fork from the sink because i knew she was going to try to hurt me. she kept going in and out of the house, and i think she's in the garage, but i don't know if i should check on her. i don't want to make her more angry, but both of my parents are out and my dad doesn't get back until three, and i don't think it's healthy for her to be out there that long. do i check or not? either way, i'm keeping something to defend myself with me, because i'm honestly scared of her; i'm literally shaking. she came back inside, and started talking bad about me so i could hear it. i guess i was worried for nothing, because she does this all the time.

My mom ordered about $200 cosmetics online and now she wants me to tell Dad that they're for me? She's always telling me to lie about these. (Caz apparently dad loves me a lot and won't say anything if she takes my name) She buys stuff and tells me to lie to my dad and to tell him that they're for me. What do I do? I don't wanna lie to my dad and I also don't wanna break my mom's heart. Plz help. I also wanna get this really pretty and expensive dress, but I can't ask Dad for that caz I'm afraid if I do, he'll tell me "you just bought cosmetics for $200. You can't get that now" plz help me. I'm so confused

I put in a good word for my younger brother at the company I work for cause he was looking for a job and has zero interest in going to college he just wants to make money now as a 18 year old. I knew my brother had attitude problems but he promised me he would give it his all at the office and so I put in a good word for him and he got hired. Fast forward 1 year later he has the worst worth ethic in the company and just spends most of the day on his cell phone and puts minimal effort. Only reason he is still around is cause I am friends with nearly everyone that works here so no one wants to report my brother. He has an entitled attitude and thinks he can do whatever he wants and when I call him out on it he just says who cares he can just find another job if he gets fired but with the way he acts he wont last anywhere else he goes. I want to get rid of him but at the same time I dont know if I can do it hes still my bro he has car payments and rent to pay..

I'm 20 years old and I live with my mom while attending university. I love my mom dearly, but we don't always get along, and unfortunately, the bad days outweigh the good days. Sometimes she'll take her anger out on me, verbally abuse me, threaten to hurt me if she doesn't get her way. Sometimes she'll touch my thigh or butt and when I ask her to stop, she'll say, "I'm your mother so I can do whatever I want." That has been going on for years, and I told someone at our church (my mother is a minister). They talked to my mom and my mom said that she can never go back there. She's very upset and I feel bad now. I really do love my mom and I never meant to hurt her, but sometimes she doesn't treat me well. Was I wrong?

He is ignorant, a pathological liar, more ignorant, too scared of his wife, and more ignorant. How do I remove this bad man from being in my life? He also was VERY neglectful to his dear sweet mother who has since passed away. He only showed kindness to her when she was terminally ill, not before that. He went from being a lazy pot smoking college student to a neglectful husband due to obsession with work. He lied to his first wife a lot and I assume does to my step-mother. Finally, he is very neglectful to his family of origin and one of his kids out of fear of his wife and her mother. He is a very ignorant man and a bad man.

My nephew is 5, ever since he was 2 he's been into frozen ever since he watched it. So he liked to wear princess dresses then. (Moms T-shirt's tied with rubber bands) now he's 5, she buys him only girls clothes and actual princess dresses. Is this bad? I think she's practically coaching him to get bullied and to confuse him.

I have 2 older brothers (1 Married, 1 Single). I am 27 years old engaged to be married next year. The thing is that im only the person that helps our parents financially, I pay their bills / food/ medicine, and I even help them with the smallest things. My brothers are never around when my parents need them the most. and Im always in fight with them bcz they act as tey dont care about our parents. They are taking advantage of me. Now I hate my brothers, I dont love them anymore. Im hating the idea that everything is on me. My married brother always come home to eat delicious food prepared by my mom, and then he leaves. My parents are very good, but my brothers are so selfish, they love money. Both are working, and their work is really good, so yes they can help our parents financially if they want to. Whenever I bring the subject to them, i always end up as I am the bad person. Can anyone advise me in how to work this out, im starting to feel that I dont have any siblings.

She's 27, she has a 5 year old daughter. From as far back as I can remember, she was the one who took care of me as a child while my parents were at work. She was like 8 when I was born. So when she got pregnant it was a bit of a shock to the family. She left and lived in another city for the past 6 years. She raised her daughter alone and just a few weeks ago, came back to allow her daughter to meet her father. My niece's father is quite successful and I noticed he was making useless excuses to see my sister and her daughter so I asked him straight up what he wants and he said he wants to be with my sister. My older brother said no, he said my sister doesn't need anyone and because of that the guy hasn't been seeing my sister lately, he threatened him not to show up again. Our older brother gets my sister's mind more than me but I know her heart better. My sister's been acting depressed and I know it's because the guy hasn't been seeing her and their daughter lately but as it has always been since we were kids, she'll still agree and listen to our older brother. I'm frustrated seeing her like that, I love her and my niece and I just want them to be happy! She's just acting against her heart to be the cool sister. I'm frustrated! I don't know what to do.

im 9 years old and my brother is 18 he sneaks up behind me and drags me to his room he locks the door and makes me sit down on a chair he ties me to the chair very tight then he puts a sock in my mouth with 3 layers of duct tape over i told my parents but they dont believe me HELP!

for the past couple of months our son has been coming home smelling like weed. He works in a fast food restaurant and his friends smoke so being around them daily is not helping. We had a discussion about him coming home smelling like weed before and he said he is not smoking weed, he is smoking vape. I never thought I would see the day where I have a child smoking in my house. none of our other kids have done that. I don't want him to ruin his life. I've already told him before he can do better than working a fast food restaurant. He should want to do better. He said the reason he smokes vape is that it helps calm him down and makes him more laid back. He said after his girflriend cheated on him he was very depressed and vaping has helped him. I told him " Son, you don't know what depression is until you've had to go without food or can't pay your bills. you got it good. We provide a roof over your head. You don't go without. You have no reason to be depressed." He was like " Dad i'm going through a lot and mom, when is the last time you've even told me you were proud of me or even that you loved me. I've never heard you say those words. It's always about me not doing enough or not being good enough. Mom will never be happy unless someone is living life the way she wants her too." I believe he said that because my wife has been trying to force our two sons into going back to college and doing the jobs she wants them to do. I believe there is more to it than him being depressed about his girlfriend. I told my son I do love him but I'm disappointed in him. He was like " Dad, I'm the same person. vape helps my mind."

I live with my grandmother who speaks my native tongue and little English. I only speak English. I'm 21 years old but my grandmother treats me like a child. She tells me I can't spend the night with friends and I have to be home by 11, i can't bring friends to her place, I can't drink, nor can I smoke IF i want to. I'm getting frustrated. Im doing everything in my power to save up so i can move out. However, (until then) how should i handle this?

I'll share.. When my sister and I was little my parents owned a sawmill and worked at the mill all week every week. Their crew consisted of my brother, a couple of my cousins and some work hands that usually helped us with the hay. While they were fixing the mill blade an old man with only one arm asked my sister and I if we would like to go to his house and play with his wife's dolls. My sister and I were like 4-6 so we didn't see any danger, we were about to walk off with this old man when my dad told him to get off the property. I didn't understand why until just recently when my dad was talking to my brother about the incident. Turns out the man who asked us to go to his house to play with dolls was a registered child molester. He moved to the area so that he could start over. To this day I get goose bumps thinking about what could have happened if my little sister and I had went with him. Do you all have any weird/ scary things that have happened to you?

I just walked downstairs and I could see my dad smoking a cigar in the window. It kinda freaked me out and I noticed that he's been doing it before. HES been really stressed lately with work.

Want to become a financial advisor out of college in Denver but do not have a large network of family and friends. Will this hinder my ability to become a successful advisor.

We are both adults and I am really shy and don't usually talk to guys so when I am around my cousin who I've crushed over many years, I can hardly look at him and try to avoid it in general. I also can't hardly get 2 words out my mouth towards him. I think that if I look at him, and he looks at me, i will burst into blushing or giggling and he will be able to tell i have feelings for him and once that happens, the dynamic between us will be forever after extrenely more awkward because he may know that I think he's hot.... And also, i get the idea he avoids looking at me often as well and i think he kind of secretly likes me MAYBE ... That's presumptuous but it is a possibility since he acts just as avoidant around me as I do him. But soon I might have to be around him more often and I want to be able to talk like a normal human with him and not have it turn into anything weird!!!

To make a long story short when I first graduated from high school I had a relative with an advanced degree kept asking me if I was going to graduate (Why would I invite them down if I was not going to?). One time as a 2-3 yr old I was running around a restaurant and I embarrassed them. I am not able to fall asleep immediately after drinking coffee like most of my relatives and I am the the Black sheep

I haven't seen her for fifteen years, she stayed 30 minutes away from my home with relatives. I told her if she wanted to visit with me again at my home (after we met at the diner), I would pick her up, drive her back, but she didn't take me up on it. I found out that she stayed for two weeks. I feel disappointed she didn't want to see me again, and that my relatives didn't invite me to their home for a few hours so we could all be together. She even commented at the diner that she hoped this wouldn't be the last time we would see each other (I'm 85 years old).

So I'm 20 and sill love with my parents (I'm in school). My boyfriend lives with us as well and he supports himself, but my parents still support me. My mom sat me down a couple days ago and told me she is ready to leave my dad because she is unhappy in their marriage. That is fine with me and I support her decision. Then, yesterday I find out that she has a boyfriend. This is a man she has worked with for over a year and his wife is her best friend. This hurt me because I realize that my dad hasn't been the best to her, but he hasn't done anything like this to my knowledge. She wants me to live with her and her boyfriend once she tells my dad, but if I do then my dad will be completely alone. My dad and I do not get along and I really don't want to live with him l, but I don't know what to do. Should I stay with him or go with her? Also, should I really feel as hurt by this as I am considering I am an adult?
