Posted: 05 Aug 2019 03:04 PM PDT i'm 17 years old and i'm not allowed to sleep over i never had one i can barely go places i wasn't even allowed to go out to eat with friends .

Question: Family bullying me because I can't speak my mother tongue, what do I do? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:49 PM PDT They never taught me nor do they speak it to me, but once we have family over they turn the attention to me and feel the need to embarrass me. At random times when we have guest over they'll just start speaking it to me and when I dont understand they just laugh in my face and just harass me. I struggle building relationships and being sociable but when I feel confident enough to interact with different family members they just isolate me because I don't speak my mother tongue. There's more to this, they have a need to always bully me for whatever reason, but then expect me to be confident. I try to be proud of my heritage but unfortunately deep inside I really have no pride for my background or heritage. Even visiting family and going back to my country is emotionally draining and makes me feel depressed....they are so toxic it's led me to hating myself and culture....like everytime I see my countries flag or eat the food I just feel depressed |
Question: Is it strange that I shake nonstop around men? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:09 PM PDT I visited my male doctor 3 times in the past few month. Yesterday after my check up he asked me what's going on? I told him I just get nervous around guys. I told him when other guys touch me I get nervous , he said what guys? I told him I have sex with my husband's friends. He said that's not normal what I'm doing and it's not normal how I act. I start shaking non stop, my whole body shakes and my knee won't stop twitching to a point where it was banging to the bed. He said what my husband does isn't normal and he got a social worker to talk to me but I refused to get her help. I am muslim and the doc is Muslim as well, I thought he would think what my husband does is normal but he said it's not. The doctor told me ask anyone if it's normal to have fear and they will say no it's not normal. Did any of you guys ever shake and get nervous infront of a doctor? I think he was over reacting. Please don't tell me to leave my husband because he's a good father, he just has a gambling addiction that I want to help him overcome. Thanks for your answers! |
Question: Can parents get legal guardianship for adult that attempted suicide suicide? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:08 PM PDT If person has no disorder and has a masters degree ( no intellectual disability) and is not sucidal when released couls the person be forced to live with their parents? |
Question: Is it ok for my husband and I to have sex in the living room? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:36 PM PDT In front of our 2 year old? She's only 2 so she's not going to remember it. Kids don't develop memories at that age. We will stop when she's old enough to remember, around 4. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:11 PM PDT In 2005 I lost my eldest son in Iraq. He was a Marine. he was 19. The morning I found out he had been killed I was recovering from a bad flu and the irony is that I thought it was a really bad thing that could happen to me as it was the beginning of summer. As soon as I saw the silouette of their hats I just knew who they were..I knew he was gone. There was a time I couldn't get to work,I didn't want to do anything,I didn't want to go anywhere...and it was getting worse and worse. After therapy,in 2010,5 years after my son died I decided to walk across the country. I walked thru 3 states in a month. That changed me. I started to heal gradually and now I think I would be able to forgive the people who killed my son. The anger was killing me..I used to picture how good it would be to get revenge on those people,I hated Muslims,I secretly wished we would bomb those people with an atomic bomb. It would still not bring my son back. Then I started to think that my son would want me to move forward in life. So one day I was talking to my husband about this and he looked at me as if I was crazy. Do you think I'm crazy? Maybe I am but I still think forgiving the people who killed him helped me move forward. Forgiving doesn't mean I will forget. I miss my son every day of the year and I will never forget what they've done. But he would want me go on... that's what I think. What do you think? Big B thank you for your service? You too Marines? big b thank you for your service. You too Marines? |
Question: Are my parents right about my 12 year old sister needing some counselling? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:01 PM PDT My parents think my sister needs counselling but she disagrees. The backstory is that my sister only plays with neighbourhood 5 year olds and at school, she sits alone at lunch. She says girls her age are too much drama. That caused my parents to worry that she needs better coping skills. They want someone to help her find solutions to her fear/problems instead of letting her isolate herself. Is this a real problem that should be solved or is everyone just overreacting? |
Question: Question about my dad. Serious answers only please? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 11:57 AM PDT I went into my dads bedroom this morning to ask him for money to go to the state fair going on right now. Well the problem is i thought he was available because he has a light outside the door that when its on not to enter, and it was not on, so i entered. well i walked in on my dad naked ejaculating on my quinceanera dress i wore last year. as i asked him why that happened, he told me that he loves dresses, i had a look at my dress after he went to work to notice he has ejaculated quite a few other times on my dress. now im not sure how i can deal with this as that dress i loved so much and i think it is ruined now because of him. what should i do? please no bs answers. i am serious and trying to figure this out. im only 16 so im not sure of my options at this time. im sure my mom knows about it if the dresses are like that just hanging in the closet in the open, but she may not either, im not sure and im afraid to talk to my mom about it, then she'd wanna know how i know. thanks for all your options and suggestions |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 11:42 AM PDT I'm a single mother, my husband died when our son was 12. He's 19 now. He went through a rebellious phase when he was 17, and I cracked down on it very firmly. I remember when he began shouting at me at 16, and the first time he swore at me I cut him off with a tight slap across his face. Every single time he swore at me, he earned a smack in the face. No exceptions. Within weeks, he had cut it out. Then came the time when I found him smoking weed on the balcony with two of his friends. In front of them, I slapped him so sharply he carried a bruise on his cheek all weekend. I did feel bad for smacking him that hard, especially in front of his friends. But I wanted to teach him a lesson, and he's learned it. Since then he's mellowed and we have a great relationship. We love each other, and if I say something firmly he doesn't dare disobey. He even asks my permission whenever he leaves the house. I don't mind that but he did it in front of my friend and she said he should be more manly. I'm proud of how responsible and well-behaved he is, should I worry about this? |
Question: Are lives of rich women better than middle class? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 11:30 AM PDT I noticed that in real life that people with money doesn't live luxury lives like those on TV or in the movies. Actually most of the people that ate wealthy just work all day and night and they are frugal with their money. They don't go on yachts or have lavish parties. |
Question: I found out my son has a girlfriend? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 10:47 AM PDT I can't allow this! They could be doing sexual stuff which is a sin for my religion. How do I break them up? I took my sons phone away so he cant talk to the girl and i told him i would disown him if he ever talked to her again and i beat him hard my son is 28 |
Question: Was I wrong for hitting my mom back? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 10:47 AM PDT she slapped me just because i called her the b word. i slapped her back. she shouldn't have hit me in the first place. it was her fault. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 10:44 AM PDT He is a scary person but has six children. I'm scared cause of his sister, my Mom, we'll be excluded from the wedding. He and my mother don't get along. All the other cousins will be invited. I ASKED EARLIER AND GOT VAGUE ANSWERS. |
Question: What's the meanest thing you've done? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 10:23 AM PDT Ill give you an example. When I was 12 I popped my little brothers life saver and he started drowning, thankfully he was saved by a stranger. I don't know why I did it. I just felt like I wanted to. |
Question: Is it okay for him to always comment on my academics? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 10:04 AM PDT I am not academically great. I'm not a topper. I am not very bad either. I don't fail and stuff i manage to pass. So whenever i meet my relatives they are constantly commenting on my performance and me being a bad student(in their eyes) and about how they think my future is bleak.I just meet them once a year. I don't even want to talk about those things when I'm around them. But they always want to discuss it. They keep telling that im a bad son because of my grades. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 09:58 AM PDT My relatives and our families together had been on a trip somewhere. Me and my sister don't have a good relationship with the elder relatives but my my parents have a very good relationship with them. This is because they keep invading our space and scolding us or bossing around us everytime and they comment on things which isn't place to comment on. So my sister and my cousin made some mistake and both were equally responsible for it. After sometime in the car my aunt scolded and lectured my sister for it but said nothing to her own daughter and my mom didn't care about it either.That angered me a bit. Then i told my aunt that it's not fair that she only scolded her neice(my sister) but not her own daughter.Why this biased behaviour? Then i got scolded too. |

Question: My father died a few days ago, how do I support my family? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 07:15 AM PDT My father died a few days ago, how do I support my family, I create free Udemy courses about programming, should I make them paid? Gay people always hit on me? Should I become a male prostitute? |
Question: Why does no one want to be in a nursing home even if it is fancy? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 07:06 AM PDT I am very doubtful that I will be able to take care of my parents for a couple of reasons. One reason is they are very difficult people and don't like it when anyone tells them anything and don't appreciate it when people try to do nice things for them. My dad kind of blames me about everything and it stresses me out now, so I know 20 years from now, I will not want or be able to take care of them. An example is as simple as me moving a pot of water to a different area on the stove because the one he had it on was clearly dirty and it smelled burnt and kind of like smores and I was trying to explain that I needed to clean it. He just nagged and made me move it back and said I was the one who broke it anyway. Sure, I might be being a bit sensitive? But it is really annoying how they both behave. My dad won't even play a card game with me again because he jokingly said he had to pay for my tuition. I hate it when parents use money as an excuse not to build relationships with their children. If you don't build it, the money means absolutely nothing. And my dad also makes fun of me. I'm only 130 lbs and 5' 2. If you want to see a pic, message me on wechat @ShengAn-me or kik @bluepandyyyy Like we were all talking about swimming and I was jokingly saying I was a really good swimmer (not a lie btw) and he and my brother said I was good at floating because I was "fluffy" or something. I hate them. No, but I wish I could get revenge on them, hence nursing home idea for my parents. Sorry for pain that I may have caused with this question. I didn't mean any offense to anyone who has lost their loved ones |
Question: Are they enablers of abuse? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 06:45 AM PDT My dad verbally and physically abuses me. My relatives tell me that i'm at fault because I'm not the way my dad wants me to me.They think I don't study well. So they say that i must study if i want to be treated better. They say that I'm responsible for the fights in my house. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 06:10 AM PDT He is a scary person but has six children. I'm scared cause of his sister, my Mom, we'll be excluded from the wedding. He and my mother don't get along. All the other cousins will be invited. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 05:57 AM PDT Let's say a woman finds out that her father's sister's great-grandchild is headed off to college — an accomplishment that no one in her family achieved. But not only is this cousin not immediate family to her, but she barely knows her. If they were to walk past each other on the street, they wouldn't have known. If she's proud that someone in her family is going to college, is she overdoing it? I mean, the farther away someone is in your family tree, the less you inherit their looks/personality. So is it really no big deal if a cousin that far away in relation, was the first to accomplish something? That's like saying that a cousin (who you barely know) through six degrees of separation made the whole family look bad because he has 10 children by 10 women and is a murderer. If the cousin won't be in your obituary (or vice versa), thus NOT immediate family, what's to be embarrassed of proud about? |
Question: Was this weird what my mother in law told me? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 05:47 AM PDT ok, so she is going to take my daughter ( 5 yr) to the park today, while I do an errand. Now , this may not sound that bad, but you would really have to know her to understand her more..She is great , and has helped us so much , but she is very overbearing , and tries to control everything. She asks so many questions about everything ( what are these bags here, why is that light over there) It's all minor things, but she is just too much . OK , so this morning she texts, not asking or suggesting, but TElling me, "Just have her wear one of her new outfits I got her, with a pony tail and bow and her new sneakers" . I know , it isnt that bad lol, but it's just annoying she is telling me how to dress her and telling me what she needs to wear exactly.. Am I wrong or is this weird of her to say? My mom or any other relatives are like this , by the way... would I be the asshole if i put her in something else and have her wear flip flops lol? I am going to let my daughter decide to wear, what should i do? |
Question: My parents won't get me a Babatunde for my birthday? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 05:32 AM PDT My 15th birthday is coming up on the 11th of this month, I want a Babatunde for my birthday, I have been wanting a Babatunde for a while now and I have been waiting for my birthday, I asked my parents but they won't give in, they are just cheap. They have the money but they won't buy it, they are tight. They always buy me cheap stuff for my birthday, and just this once I want something expensive, I just want a Babatunde. How do I convince them to buy me a Babatunde? I need it. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 04:45 AM PDT I don't like boycotting family. My Dad loves to as does my Mom. This is my Mom's sister in town. My parents, my Dad especially, dislike her and she can indeed be somewhat narcissistic. How do I avoid conflict with my Dad and still follow through my values of being loyal to family, not just the easy going family members? My parents live across the street from my grandmother so it is not like I can go see my aunt who will be staying at her house and not be noticed by my parents. |

Question: I don’t want to go to practice? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:58 AM PDT I hate marching band. I hated band from the moment my mom put me in it. She did it so she wants me to do it especially since I'm going to the same high school as she did. We are the top 10 in the country and they're tough. I live in South Carolina heat and I find it ridiculous I have practice from 8AM-8PM 5 days this week. They don't give us much water breaks and we are in the parking lot the whole time. It's 4:56 AM right now and I can't sleep. I'm not going I don't care what my mom says but i don't want a fight. Please tell me how I can convince her to quit because every time i have tried she tells me I'm a brat, even though I told her I never wanted to do it in the first place? I want to focus on soccer, that's more important to me. |
Question: Is it normal for parents to hit kids? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:42 AM PDT My mom use to hit me and my sister if we did something wrong and sometimes she insults us. Do other kids have the same thing? |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:37 AM PDT My niece and nephew are getting abused by their father. Not only that, he is doing heroin when the children are around. My sister allows the children to go over there for weekly visits even though she knows these things are going on. I am the children's Aunt, but unfortunately I live out of state and very far away. But when I heard about what was going on, I immediately called CPS. CPS did an investigation but since the father of the children has a wealthy family, they coached him on how to cover things up and say the right things. The children were coached not to say anything either to make sure their father would not get in trouble. So, CPS came and everything seemed fine so they left and nothing came of it. I was talking to my mother (the children's grandmother) today about it, and the children continue to see their physically abusive heroin using father. My mother seems to feel that we did everything we could and should just leave it alone. I disagree and think we need to call the police because it continues. I should also point out that their abusive father recently beat up his pregnant girlfriend as well INFRONT of my niece and nephew (who are only ages 8 and 12). Why does my family want to turn a blind eye and not continue to do anything? This is wrong I think but it is starting a family feud and no one else cares! |
Question: Bf coming over over and my house is literally not a house HELP! PLZ? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:11 AM PDT My bf is coming but my house is not even finished it still has wood and the floor is wood its really embarrassing I don't know what to do my parents don't work at all my dad left my mom is a house wife she can't get a job anywhere we been living in a wood box for years now what to do!?!?! |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 12:48 AM PDT i just found out that my mom has been hiding a camera in my room and watched when i jerk off. she keeps track of how many times i do it and shares that info with her neighbor friend. i think that's really weird and probably illegal but i don't know what to do. please help me. |
Posted: 05 Aug 2019 12:05 AM PDT So my brothers stopped talking to my mom entirely after she came out as gay to my old family. My parents divorce was pretty messy due to my dad finding out my mom was cheating on him. She explained to me that she was very unhappy and felt trapped when she was married to my dad, but as soon as she came out she felt freedom and loved being with her girlfriend, but my brothers weren't buying it. They changed after divorce. They became very sullen, quiet, cold, etc. Their grades dropped a bit and have gotten into a few school fights. Particularly, other LGBT kids at school. My twin brother punched a gay boy at school just cause he said the other guy was running his mouth. My older brother knocked out a lesbian outside of school for accusing her of also running her mouth. Like they have become so homophobic, but told me not to say anything to our mom and now I regret not saying anything. Finally, they had a huge fight with my mom over her girlfriend and almost assaulted her and they decided to move in with my dad in his new apartment in Las Vegas, Nevada. He's still single. My mom has called them but they dont answer. She has no clue in what part of Las Vegas they live at. She doesn't even know my dad's number and neither do I like seriously it's like they've just vanished off the face of the earth. Nobody knows about their whereabouts and I'm just sad and my mother is heartbroken. Can I do anything at the moment right now?? |
Question: Is climate change making coastal Southern California more humid in the summers? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 11:49 PM PDT I find that the past few summers have been more humid in Southern California. From LA to San Diego, the evenings are warmer and definitely more humid. We aren't Florida, but it feels like we do have multiple days a summer that feel like we are getting there. |
Posted: 04 Aug 2019 10:17 PM PDT What I am telling IS 100 percent fact. I have first hand knowledge of this situation but the kids are too afraid to come forward. My niece and nephew have a very drug addicted father who is also abusive. One night, my niece and nephew were with their father and he starts beating his pregnant girlfriend endangering the lives of both his girlfriend AND unborn child. My niece and nephew saw everything and called the police. BTW, my niece is only 12 and my nephew is only 8 years old. When the police arrived, everyone was to afraid to say anything happened so their abusive father did not go to jail. My sister still allows the kids to go see their father. My sister is also suspected to be using drugs as well (both her and her husband MET in AA). When I found out about this, I called CPS. The kids did not tell the police what really happened out of fear of something their father told them and everything looked ok (kids are fed, have clothes, have a roof over their heads) so CPS left and did not continue their investigation. My niece and nephew's father should be in jail for the crimes that he has committed! My mother (grandma) says she doesn't want to pursue this any longer for her own mental health. I told my mother that Im glad she cares more for her mental health when these kids are having to deal with this stuff first hand! This father could get high again and hurt them again someday! |
Posted: 04 Aug 2019 09:15 PM PDT My niece and nephew have a very abusive father (and he is constantly using drugs). My sister left her husband (the abusive father) about 3 years ago, but the kids have been seeing him with equal custody every other week. My sister (who also has a lot of issues too) has been letting the kids go visit their father unattended (while he has been using drugs like heroin). About a year ago, the kids went on a visit to see their dad while he was with his pregnant girlfriend. The abusive father starts beating his girlfriend (while pregnant). The kids were in the room when it happened. My niece (who is age 12) was able to leave the room to call 911. The police arrived at the scene but he was not put in jail since the mother did not come forward to the police about being beaten. The kids told their mother (my sister) what happened but my sister still continued to let the kids go to their fathers house on visits. When I found out about this story, I called CPS immediately. Apparently CPS did nothing, neither did the police. He is NOT in jail and the kids continue to visit their father. Today I was talking to our mother about this (grandma to the niece and nephew) and she was very casual, saying that everything is ok now for the kids with their dad. Im like, how is everything ok when that man SHOULD BE IN JAIL! My mom was like, well I think he is clean now and has a job so I think everything is ok. We had a huge fight. I told her that we need to get the kids to confess to the police or I am worried that the lives of my niece and nephew will be in danger! My mother didn't want to talk about it and hung up on me! |
Question: Do you miss someone? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:59 PM PDT I miss my brother. I will miss him forever. RIP My Amazing Brother. |
Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:25 PM PDT I am a 33 year old who is no longer thrilled about rides, games, expensive concession foods , farm animals etc.... My niece is visiting here where I live. She's from out of state. My mom , I feel is pressuring me to attend the state fair with my niece who is 2 years younger than me. My mom said she would pay for everything. I am not concerned about who is paying. I am more concerned about my mom spending big bucks on me when I feel I would not enjoy myself. My niece and I are at the age where carnival rides and games no longer really excite us. The reason my mom is doing this , is so my niece has someone her age to hang out with and have fun with and do things / go places with. As badly as I wish NOT to go, my niece is showing a strong desire to go. I wish to opt out and not go ….. But the plans are already set for us to attend tomorrow. Also one other thing : I do not like my mom's attitude about the whole thing. She simply wishes to drop me and my niece off at the fair and not attend with us. And I told my mom she needed to accompany my niece and I ( As this whole thing is her idea anyway) She pitched a loud , yelling hissy fit when I said this to her. Shall I go and possibly NOT have fun on SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPENSE? Or tell my mom and niece that I will not go? |
Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:21 PM PDT I turned 64 last week and I started to wonder deeply if there will be much fun living as an old person. I have always been a positive person and I have always loved socialising.I have always tried to be happy. But I have to say that there is a certain fear of being old that has been bothering me recently. My dear mother died at 96 a few months ago and she was very frail in the last years of her life. Many people I know who are in their late 60's tell me that they are starting to enjoy life,as they are retired and enjoying spending the money they have worked hard for all their lives. But I have always spent money to enjoy myself and I'm not even 65 yet.The best years of my life were my middlle age years(which are now nearly over).At age 48 I left my home in London and I spent about a month touring most of Europe during the summer.It was a great experience. At age 51 I bought my dream car, a Porsche 911.In my early 50's I was having a lot of fun socialising and meeting true friends. But more to the point, I was dating several very lovely women, until I met the real love of my life at age 56. We are still together and I can't imagine life without her. She is 9 years younger than me, but we have always gotten on very well. At 58, I quit my well paid job and I successfully started my own profitable business,which was hard work, but very rewarding. At age 60 my wife and I combined were worth 1 million pounds, which is about $1.2 million. At 61 my wife and I visited to China. My 50's, late 40's and early 60's were the best years of my life. Much of my 20's and 30's was wasted because I never had that much money, as I was busy saving. At 35 I met my first wife who I had a son with, but we soon divorced. I loved her but was never in love with her. Our characters clashed and we divorced when I was 39. Now at 64, I am starting to fear the future. I fear losing my looks. Obviously I am not as young looking as I was in my 20's, 30's, 40's or 50's. But I still retain my good looks. I fear that this could rapidly deteriorate soon. I also fear losing my energy levels. I am very active right now, but I am worried that might not be the case in the not too distant future. Is there any fun for the people over 65? More specifically those over 70? Isn't the period when many health problems arise? |
Question: Is it weird to be scared of men? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:05 PM PDT I visited my male doctor 3 times in the past few month. Yesterday after my check up he asked me what's going on? I told him I just get nervous around guys. I told him when other guys touch me I get nervous , he said what guys? I told him I have sex with my husband's friends. He said that's not normal what I'm doing and it's not normal how I act. I start shaking non stop, my whole body shakes and my knee won't stop twitching to a point where it was banging to the bed. He said what my husband does isn't normal and he got a social worker to talk to me but I refused to get her help. I am muslim and the doc is Muslim as well, I thought he would think what my husband does is normal but he said it's not. The doctor told me ask anyone if it's normal to have fear and they will say no it's not normal. Did any of you guys ever shake and get nervous infront of a doctor? I think he was over reacting. Please don't tell me to leave my husband because he's a good father, he just has a gambling addiction that I want to help him overcome. |

Question: Mean spirited/ jealous family members? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:37 PM PDT I am 1 of 4 sisters. My youngest I despise because she is a gossiping jealous hearted trouble maker. She enjoys making me uncomfortable by relaying messages to me that are supposedly from a high school sweetheart of hers that she claims has a crush on me. I am 6 years their senior. I have told her to stop it. It makes me uncomfortable & I don't like it. At all. I rarely even speak with her because her character is less than desirable & we have nothing in common. Yesterday she rode shotgun to my mother in laws gravesite following her funeral. She mentioned that her off & on guy said let him know if I need comforting. Guys these off the wall f**d up comments have been going on for 20+ years no joke. We are all in our 40s. Is this grounds for a cease and desist? High emotional altercations are no longer an option for me. I survived a blood clot at 34 but when I get worked up, I get physically ill almost to the point of blacking out. She upset me on Christmas Day by storming out of my home insisting I treated her children differently. She put it all in a text to everyone. I haven't spoken to her directly since then. Keeping my distance doesn't seem to be working |
Question: Help! Why did he do this to me? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:33 PM PDT We work together and he told me "in this company i'm not even my own boss but at least I"m your boss" he said you didn't like that did you while smiling. I said no. He said I know. I said how do you know. He said because no one can tell you anything not even your man and smiled looking down. Anyway he said I have to lower my walls and he said he has walls too, i said how he said I don't know but i'm working on mine too. He had added me on IG. but this week a few things happened i got upset from a patient who had called me rude so I told this guy that okay then i won't answer the phone. and walked out of his office. I've been leaving early to study ane ddon't say bye to him. Then the other day a patient told the front desk girl it was as if i was the doc's girlfriend (she had only talked to me on the phone). The front desk girl told the doc that. He said what? she said patient thought you two are dating he said no. This was on Friday, on Saturday, he watched my story on IG which was just my books and tea then unfollowed me. I mean this was the guy who was talking to me about lowering my walls, etc, always switch his gaze because he has trouble maintaining eye contact with me. I unfollowed him too. What would make him do this? |
Question: Do married women cheat also? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:24 PM PDT I keep hearing it men who does the cheating but I mean every time a man cheat it with a woman. Most times those women are already married. So aren't there women who cheat? |
Question: Mom act crazy. Should i leave her? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:13 PM PDT Im military and have been on orders for over a year now. I got an apt away in another city where i work. My mom and brother stays at the apartment where i was living before. My mom gets 750 in disability. Pays the cable bill (175) and gives on the rent (100. Its 550 total but me and my brother pay the rest) and thats it. Everything else is paid by me and my bro. she also pays for her meds and phone minuets but thats is $30 and she has medicare so her meds are less that $20. so that leaves her with $350 +. I also still help them on top of me having an apt. She gets drunk and picks fights. She tried to fight my brother,tried to fight one of her friends daughters and pulled a knife on me few days ago. goes in my brother room and steals his money. I love my mom but enough is enough. I am trying to find a permanent job where i am so i can move. I am going to tell her that i am no longer going to be helping them because i feel as if she has too much money to play with. saves me money and needs to grow up. We have been taking care of her since 2012. Paying EVERYTHING up until 2017. I know she is grown but the way she acts drunk if she runs into the right person its not gonna end well for her. And i dont want to be woken up with a phone call. I know she grown and i know me and my brother is grown. i really dont want to see her hurt, or leave her high and dry. But she pulled a knife on me. I want to get her some help but i have no clue who to talk to or call. Or how she will react. |
Question: Why does family have a problem for you to support yourself when they know they arent? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 05:47 PM PDT Theyre not going to help but will also interfere for you to support yourself. If theyre not going to help you why do they hinder for you to help ypurself they spy on your phone and have their friends spy on you as well. I dont drive so most of wat i can do is on phone and they hinder...If theyre not foing to help why hinder..they also like for someoen to depend on them but arent going to help. Anytime that will bring independencethey interfere with.They seem to have a problem for me to do anything.How can i support myself if they constantly interfere for me to do so?(this is with anything, housing,jobs, school, etc. they even sabotaged going to a shelter). |
Question: My brother remembers the day he died? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 04:44 PM PDT So my brother was born june 15th 2000. He s stopped now, but up until he was probably 12 years old he used to tell us stories about his "other family" and how he died: It was him, his dad, mom and brother. He and his brother were still children when their car crashed into a lake. They saved his brother but didnt get to him in time and he drowned. His mother was a professional pianist (he s now a professional pianist too ironically) They had a big fluffy family dog (like a chow) Back then we thought it was just a child s imagination but I recently started reading up on all these children who remember past life deaths detail for detail but I cant find anything about a child drowning on June 15th 2000. Does anyone know any news stories that Match what he told me? |
Question: My sister always has people over? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 04:17 PM PDT I'm not a social person, never have been and I only like two of her friends, the rest are loud, they get high and drunk and leave messes. Every time my sister has people over she ignores me. I mean, I try to make myself present and try to talk as much as I can, but she still acts like I'm not even there. She calls me rude if I try to pull her aside to talk to her about it. I have told her many times I don't like it, but every time, she blows a fuse and tells me to get over it. I tell her, I want to just be with her or her and her fiancé, but people come right in unannounced like a 90s sitcom. It makes me uncomfortable and the weed gives me a headache. They cuss a lot, I mean A LOT too and talk about stupid stuff, terrible music, video games, dumb TV shows, make up, etc. She never lets me talk to anyone and just says like, "Why don't you go read a book," or "Go watch TV." I do not have a job right now, plus I have a cat, so I can't move out. Our mom can't help her, nor our dad or her fiancé. She can tell them no, but won't. I do not like to socialize, especially with people I do not know and people in my age group, I never click with, I click with older people. She thinks it's weird that i get along better with middle age folks at 29. I have tried kicking her friends out, saying things like, "it's a school night," "some folks have to get up early," "the neighbors might call the police because you're being loud" but she says they can stay.what do I do? |
