I remember when in my teens and early 20s I always thought that this was the most obvious "me generation" age. why? how true? & how their mindset changes when get into their late 40s and early 50s and why?

So, all throughout school I had severe learning disabilities that stopped me from getting very far at all. I never made it through school because my family couldn't afford help and none of the teachers I had knew how to help me. So, that made the first years of my life very difficult. What made it worse was the amount of bullying I received. Not only bullying but harassment. And the ring master behind it was my cousin. The bullying I received was from her friends almost entirely. They were very popular, outgoing, charismatic, and not afraid to bully because they usually got away with it. Teachers didn't much care. My cousin, while being a self proclaimed queen has made sure to make me feel like less than dirt. Her encouraging her friends to bully me even in adulthood ruined my young life. My confidence and self worth was already hanging from a thread, but then they discovered I was alone and had no one to defend me and they took advantage of that. She got married last night and i wasn't invited to her very extravagant wedding. I was a bit hurt by it but I gave her a gift anyway. She hasn't said anything. She usually throws my gifts away, and yes, this is a fact. She'll do it when I'm no longer present. I don't know what to do. I'm sick of feeling like nothing.

We live in a house that his parents own, but they do not live here with us. They told me to treat it as my own, but then if I do something they don't like they have a fit. He does work full time, but his money is deposited into his checking account that his parents control. They pay all of his bills out of his account including his child support for his 2 kids by his ex-wife. I buy all the food for our household and pay the cable, internet and phone and cell phones out of my money. He doesn't want to take control of his own money because he says they wouldn't help us out if we needed it if he did. But if he wants something he has to go to them and sit down and have a conversation about the item he wants and how it will benefit him. We live in the south and AC is a must in they summer. When the AC went out in my car I took our daughter to an appointment and the owner was just pulling in as I did. She approached my car to speak, immediately grabbed my daughter out of her carseat took her inside stripped her down and wrapped wet towels around her. She said she was close to having a heat stroke. I couldn't get them to help me get the AC fixed in my car. They won't babysit our daughter. I have become very depressed over the last 2 to 3 years and I'm ready to leave, I'm just so afraid of not being able to make it on my own with a 5 year old daughter.

I love her, we've been together for a year. We loved each other since the very first moment we saw one another. I didn't force anything, I also was against it because I wanted her to feel completely sure, but she wanted too. We tried but it didn't go well, as she's really tight and I cant seem to make her lose her virginity. She feels a lot of pain everytime we try so I immediately stopped because I cannot bear the thought of hurting her. We tried another couple of times but it's always the same problem. I told her we can renounce to it anyway and she looked uoset and disaplointed and apologized . I told her 'whats there to apologize? Its not your fault'. I said I didnt care about sex the important thing is that wr love each other. She simply doesn't accept the fact that I gave up on sex. But it's really impossibile. If I do it, I hurt her although she's ready. She's not like those girls who are used to it and can do it easily without feeling pain even with guys who have it big (sorry for the language). If I just put a finger inside I cannot go through it because she's really tight let alone penetrate her. I feel so frustrated about it. Sometimes I also feel at faukt for hurting her and I dont want to do it nor try anymore

I've been with my husband for 20 years and my mother in law is really good friends with the girl she baby sits for who she's only know for 5 years. I recently heard she told everyone in the family she wishes my husband would have met her before he met me. I'm always asking her to hang out and do things with us but she never will but she is always doing stuff with this girl and her kid. I've been nothing but nice to her over the years and she just seems to be obsessed with this girl and always telling me how amazing she is and also every detail of this girls life. I feel like I'm not good enough and after I heard she said that I don't want to be around her. Am I wrong for wanting to distance myself around her and for feeling really hurt by this?

When we were teenagers he used to hate me and threathen to hit me as he was afraid I would take her daughter away. Now that we are engaged, and plan to marry, and we get on and love each other he has calmed down. Lately he was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. My gf complains about the fact that he is no longer as he used to. Once I overheard a phone call he had with a guy, for booking traveling tickets to europe. He was really anxious and didnt know how to talk to him, he didnt know how he should run the conversation. I felt really sorry for him as he looks a bit unsatisfied and anxious. He also asked his daughter if he should call him by the name 'tom ***** (and name of the agency) or just by the name of the guy). He asked his daughter, like he never did such an easy task before. I felt so sorry I cannot explain it. I should hate him for the way he treated me when I was a teenager. He called me names, like thug, bad guy, crook, garbage. And now I should be happy he is like that but I actually can. Deep down I have always know he did it for her daughter and not cause he hated me. I dont know whats wrong with me.

My niece gave me her cell phone number and wants me to text her sometimes since she is moving away. I just don't ever know what to text her. I have a problem figuring out what to say to anyone so it's hard with someone as close as she is to me. I just want to say nice things without making things weird.

So, after reading this you are going to hate me because you're getting to know the worst of me. And I take full responsibility for letting this go on for so many, it is my fault.. Last night, on the night of my wedding, I came to terms that I am a bully and I've treated one of my family members horribly for years. This family member is my cousin. Myself, a long with several others have bullied her for no good reason. I allowed my friends to harass and mentally abuse her simply because I always thought she was a bit on the weird side, and when I was younger, I don't know why, but I hated anything that made me uncomfortable. Like, hated with a passion. I used to laugh at her pain and...yeah. I think you get it. Last night was my wedding and although I didn't invite her, she stopped by to drop off a gift for me. She said she's sorry she didn't get to give to me sooner (no I didn't invite her to my bridal shower or bachelorette party either). I opened it when she left and it was a scrapbook of pictures she'd taken through all the years and they were just of me and my friends from past birthday parties and stuff. And all of the ones I know she was in, she cut herself out of. All throughout my own wedding I was thinking about this. And when I woke up, I felt nothing but years of guilt. I don't know what to do. I spent my entire wedding feeling like crap for her. What do I do? How do o apologize?

I'm 28, the youngest. She doesn't want my older siblings to know (she doesn't want them to worry) Should I tell them?? I think she could use the support..she's going through some tests for a final result. :(

I am currently a 19 year old.My mom and my step dad has been together since I was 5. At 6, my mom and step had my half brother. The way my step treated me was completely different from how my half bro was treated. When I was 12, I left something on the table and I forgot I had left it there so, I quietly said "what is this doing here?" Right after I said that, my step yelled at me and took away my room door because I was mimicking ppl w/special needs by "talking to myself". Recently, my step got into "Pokémon go". He takes his iPad everywhere he uses it 24/7 for that app (even while driving). I was mad and told him to stop. He then got mad and yelled at me saying "atleast I don't go around f***king another woman and I'm just playing this god damn thing"..3. he has a tracking app on his iPad. He also has my messages connected to his iPad so he reads everything I text. Recently, he screamed at me because I didn't let him know I was going out with my uncle (his brother). Lastly, when my mom makes him mad, he comes to me and starts screaming at me. He says "whatever your mom does to piss me off, I'm taking it out on you since you're related to her and you're her daughter.". I want to move out but, the state I live in is extremely expensive and I am still tying to pay for college. I have a part time job; but, I don't make enough to move out. I tell my mom about it; but my mom just says "act smarter then".

Why did my ex not even look at me? What does it mean when my ex girlfriend doesn't even look at me?
