So, I have a complicated Daddy-Issue. I was raised by one man who I called dad - Let's call him stan. My mom and Dad were never really married, but he was still there for me and my siblings. He helped raise us and we loved him so much. When I turned 13, Mom got married to a different man - Bob. Bob and Stan didn't really get along but eventually, they shook hands and decided to allow bygones to be bygones. Well, by the time I turned 15, my Dad died. I was heartbroken, thrown into depression and just a changed person after that, and not in a good way. It took a long time for me to start getting along and accepting Bob and now he's one of the most important people in my life. He's a father figure. And then, out of the blue, right after I turn 18, this man shows up. My biological father. Let's call him Jerry. When we first met, he referred to my Mom as a breeding doe, got very drunk and asked me to call him Dad. I didn't even give my step-father the honor of being called Dad when deep down, I know he deserves that title. But I already gave that title to the man who raised me and it feels wrong calling anyone else that. I am now 24 and only met him 3 times. I have a little sister I never met and a little brother I only met once. He never even tried reaching out to me after the 3rd time but I haven't done it either. I have a lot of spiritual damage from losing my Dad and I have Bob who still isn't called dad. Should I really contact Jerry and let him in my life?

Hi, I'm 23 and work with a 29 year old who in my opinion is quite immature. I do find her very caring and fun but I find her attitude to work ridiculous and it's starting to stress me out. She does suffer from mental health so sometimes when I confront about things she cries and in my opinion can be quite manipulative with this and me never having dealt with someone like this before, I'm struggling a little. Although she loves the job, she is very disorganised, unprofessional, and makes the job a lot more chaotic than it needs to be. Our manager is supportive but works about 2 hours away. Today we had to do a presentation and she was meant to plan it but was planning it TEN minutes before it started. I would have done this at least the night before if not weeks ago! Then I confronted her as it made the day so stressful and it turned into an argument. Now I've noticed she's trying to avoid attending meetings which we are both meant to go to. It makes no difference to me if she's there, but why should I have to be doing it when she's not? Basically, she's creating other meetings on the calendar and pretending they've been there for weeks not knowing you can see the date she created her 'fake' one. Because she relies on me a lot and always wants to hang out with me outside of work and it's just me and her working together constantly, I find it easy to confront her but hard to talk to my manager because then it creates more tension and a mess. Can you please advise?

This guys been crushing on me since my last relationship which was pretty serious. Apparently he's been talking to my friend and my friend says he's very sweet

Is it a fancy way of saying "I want to keep my options open and I'm not interested in a relationship with you but I like your attention" or is it more of a "I don't want to get hurt or have my feelings fade too fast so let's go slow and make this last" thing? Since they are both 17 I assume it's the first one because they are in a confusing part of their life but I suppose it could be the second one since my wife and I met at 19 and 20 and stayed together forever; but how does someone know the difference between her brushing him off and her just wanting to be friends first? Side note: She spends every weekend with him as long as she doesn't have family commitments and he's not being grumpy but she admits that part of spending the weekend with him is because she doesn't want to be home (so she could just be using him). She also texts him every day and says good morning most mornings and they do hug emojis when it's bed time, exception being when she has her nose in a video game (she's an otaku geek). So it's really hard to tell if she likes him or not; it could all be just her way to pass time but it could also be her showing genuine interest. Teen girls are hard to read and I want to help my son get the girl if I can.

I am not going to get into details, but my husband said he wanted a divorce..'for now'. I asked him specifically if he wanted a D or a seperation, he said divorce cause he needs that complete seperation from me to be able to start thinking (?). We have had problems lately. With outside sources, family members dying, me and my incessant anxiety, trust issues...he was just done with it. He doesnt want to deal with the stress anymore. So after a few days, my sister decided to message him. Nothing mean, just that she understands I can be a handful, but marriage is hard and sometimes you need to fight, you weren't always right either, she loves you, she will be fine either way and take this as you will but just wanted you to know, etc, etc. His response to her was this... "The primary issue is lack of trust. I'm not trying to lead her on. I told her I need a separation to even begin to see what I want. Was hoping to go from there and I'll help her get where she wants to be." So, I am wondering if you could assess that comment and tell me if I am delusional in thinking he still has feelings for me/sounds like he hopes to resume in the future...or does it sound like he doesnt ever want to get back with me...

My sister in-law jumped on me verbally, calling me ugly names and telling my husband he needs to leave me.. we have been married 38 years and have 4 grown children. I've not mistreated them in any way. I've had them in my home some years ago for a week and found them going through our cell phones. This was after they encouraged my husband to be romantically involved with a woman in their church. When we traveled to visit them, my mother in-law would call this woman in front of me and then go on and on about how sweet she was. I told my husband I don't feel comfortable with them visiting and he says that a Christian should turn the other cheek. What do you think?

oh,I meant when they don't like the person...why they be more concerned when it involves someone they don't like

I'm 16 and a while ago my family offered to buy me a car they gave me a pretty high price budget and now that I found a car which is a Audi A4 around $10,000 I feel guilty. But my family wants to buy this car for me but I look around and see all my friends have cheaper cars and stuff but this is something I been wanted for a long time and now it's actually happening I don't feel right with getting a car like that

I also want to know what i is like after/if woman has changes fr. birth. Who should I ask about this? I do not want to ask my parents. Thank you!

I told her i want to quit my job but find another one she yells at me to stay at my current job (to keep health insurance) only to find out she was wrong because i got hurt there. I get an interview at a great company due to my fiancés uncles partner asking my fiancé if i wanted an interview because they are hiring (which is with my college degree). My fiancé tells my mom she acts happy. But when I tell her myself she gets mad at me :/ I want to pay for my own wedding but she forbids me saying to save every penny i own but laughs at me when i try to make decisions for my wedding. I have my own apartment one month in and still dont have my living room or dining room set up because she keeps getting me free furniture from people telling me i better not buy anything but then stores at it my fathers house. I decided to go to the doctor for my injury i got at work and she tells my fiancé i never tell her anything myself but sorry my phone was dead and i couldnt tell her myself. But then she texts me later on shes busy and cant talk but finds all the time in the world to text me about my wedding. So i cant get a new job thats going to make me happy, i cant keep my apartment the way i want (i was going to buy a coffee table until she reminded me i got a free used one since she was getting mad), i cant chip in for my wedding yet she is complaining about money, i cant do this i cant do that. Why is she still controlling me at 26 years old?

I have a supervisor and manager, I do talk to my supervisor I get along with but then there is the manager who I don't even say hi when I see him
