Have you ever felt that your mother has stopped caring for you/love you? She don't talk with kindness no more, only when she needs help with something, otherwise it's a f*ck you attitude, even though I am the one who helps her out the most in the household. It's like i'm becoming air to her, treat me like i'm nothing. Example: I just came home tonight and it's 10:30 at night (CEST TIME) and when I asked if there's any food she with a very stuck up attitude tells me: ''No, make some yourself if you're hungry!'' I have no problem doing that but after such a long day at work then I have to come home to this? It's not just this its way deeper. I don't know what happend we used to be very close.

All she does is complain and she smells like cheap beer and mothballs

My mom always calls me chunky and is always feeling my legs to make sure I m still skinny and touching my stomach. I m pretty much used to it, I just don t know how to get her off my case. I m not fat by the way.

I'm 17 and my gf is coming to my house tomorrow. She came to my house with my dad home and when she left he tried to tell me about condoms and babies. It rubbed me the wrong because of his tone and it sounded condescending. My mom told me he was hysterical and just kept talking to her about it all night. We were on My mom didn't seem to make that big of a deal about. It's usually moms who act like this. She's coming over tomorrow but it'll uncomfortable for me because my dad will be home. Also one night when we were on FaceTime my dad kept asking what was I doing on the phone. My mom told me he thought she was nude on the phone and he wanted to speak to her mom.

So I used to work with this guy who I really like for 8 months over a month ago he quit. And I guess we still like each other a lot. Will the other day I randomly went to this clothing store and I randomly saw him there with his family. I was so nervous and so was he so I walked out than after I came out one of his family members stopped came outside and was smiling at me..so he must of said something to them..overal is this bad? In the past when we worked together he told most of the people there that we liked each other

I have animosity toward men especially, even though I'm a man myself... like if i were a misogynist the other way around

We spend time with in-laws typically once a week. Last time we saw them, my spouse told their mother that we were having friends over for dinner. She "jokingly" said "oh so they can come over but we're not invited". In-laws have come over several times but lately we go over to their place because mother mobility issues and we live a couple of stories up.

My sister is 15 years old. And I'm a man, 27 years old. We are only two. We don't have any more brothers or sisters And she likes to sleep with me in my room. She likes to sleep with me and hugs me when she does. Is that normal or is it bad?

I did not even have a ride to the airport. I had to take a cab and go on my own. Neither parents even said bye when they heard me packing. When I got up that morning they'd left to go places. I was never loved. Now I'm 31 and this all makes me so sad. At my graduation I was the only one I knew with no family there. I'm a very lonely person. What do I do to heal this wound or is it permanent? My parents still show no affection nor do my siblings. I haven't seen any of them in four years not due to a fight or anything but just no one calls me and they were "busy" the two times I reached out. Both my parents were estranged from their families so I never had grandparents or aunts-uncles or cousins. It is all so lonely, what do I do? Surrogate families haven't filled the void I have.

I'm 22 and I just got a job out of state. It's my first real job where I can actually make some serious money. I currently live with may dad and he's my best friend and the only person in the world that I trust 100 percent. We do everything together and I really can't imagine going away for so long. The job is full time 7 days a week for 5 months and then a 6 week vacation. It's going to be tough but I'm excited about being able to earn a lot of money. I'm worried about my dad though. How do I make this easier?

My son who is 15 has been acting really bad for the past few months he has broken various things around the house, lied, fought his brother, broke his curfew, and doesn't care about his grades anymore. We have seen a therapist but it has not been working. Should I enroll in in a teen behavior boot camp or a military school as a last resort option?

I was married to my rapist (my father's cousin) when I was 12 and we have 5 kids together. I went through lots of problems with him because he makes me do stuff with other male relatives and his friends, I am still with him for cultural reasons. Anyways, I started therapy with a trauma psychologist after I was sent to a mental hospital after having manic episodes in public. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and ptsd. During therapy my therapist keeps giving me stuffed toys and toy figures to hold and touch, and every time I get start talking about the abuse and I start opening up he changes the subject and asks me which toy in the room do you like best, and when I start crying he starts asking me where I got my shoes from or what tv show did you watch, like he doesn't want to see me shaking and crying. Isn't therapy supposed to be about me opening up? Also isn't it weird that he uses toys during therapy? My kids are teenagers and are too old to play with toys, I feel like he treats me like I'm retarded. My doctor told me he's a perfect fit for me because he's specialized in ptsd, anxiety and depression and he's middle eastern/Muslim like me. He has great reviews and sounds smart when he talks but I'm confused.

I tried to take away his bag of chips so he would have room for lunch but he started to refuse and threw a tantrum. I then got extremely pissed off and beat him with a slipper. He cried louder but eventually stop crying. I live with my mom and she yelled at me for what I did even though I didn't think what I did was wrong.

I come from a really small family. 'Big' family events for us back in the day consisted of around 8-10 people, and that was like a tea party or BBQ at the house for a birthday. We never had any weddings or christenings in the family. My boyfriend however has a huge family, his mother's side and his fathers side are both big (they are the seperated). He's asked me to come along to his mums wedding and a christening on his dads side of the family. I'll go because I love him but I really don't want to lol. Not only have I never been to a wedding or christening but to be around 50+ people who I don't even know who are all 'family' sounds terrifying to me. I'm not used to that it's completely foreign and nerve wracking to me. Like I say, 'big family events' for me was about 8 people. This is a lot and he doesn't understand and thinks I'm being dramatic. Just cos it's normal for him doesn't mean it's normal for me. It's the complete opposite. I'll probs come across really shy and awkward when I go. I'm terrified

If you had to pick one and deal with it, what would you rather have? - Your child is the school bully - Your child is getting bullied at school

She's been going through this phase where all she does is proclaim her intense hatred towards men. She's 17 years old and she has never even dated before, isn't bullied at school, is a good student, but spends all of her time on twitter following these feminazi people and reposting all their crap about how evil men are and all she does is talk to our family at dinner about women being oppressed by men and my dad and I look at each other like "wtf". She has daily tantrums where she punches the wall and throws things in her room screaming at how evil men are

She is divorced and hates him but he's having a party with his family I'd be devastated to miss. My mother traveled with her friends on two of my last three birthdays and I was perfectly fine with it. So what do I do? I'm so tired of being used in their divorce. They've been divorced 9 years and my mother still hates him. He cheated but that's not my fault. I've told her this way I feel but she won't listen.

Like this summer there was a big trip planned and my Dad backed off for the 2nd year in a row and said we will go next year. Now he is saying next year might not work. He makes big promises he should know he cannot keep. When I graduated high school years ago I was promised for a year and a half by both my parents a trip anywhere in the world. Then my folks decided to move (they move every few years) and no trip was given except a trip from our home in North Carolina to a funeral in Atlanta. Not much of a trip. I am an adult and make my own plans and live on my own. Yet I like these big promises my Dad makes and always he ends up he is lying. Not sure he intends to lie but he never sticks to promises. Same with things like "having the whole extended family over for Christmas" and the party ends up being 3 out of 24 family members with only 4 invited and then a large group of my parents friends. So lying is a regular of his and my mother has the same habit.

My mom bought me a $250 suitcase yesterday for my birthday (according to the price tag). I'll probably readily use this suitcase and it certainly wasn't worth dropping $250 on this for me. Today she texted me asking if I would like the receipt to return it (I hope I didn't make it obvious I wasn't a fan of it!) Anyways I kind of want to return it, but I feel bad if I say yes to taking the receipt. Should I just stick with the suitcase to not hurt anyone's feelings?

Where I live, what jobs I take, where I went to university, was all because my family was so nasty to me if I didn't do what they wanted. They'd say I'd make them homeless if I didn't do what they want, and when I asked how the two are connected they'd just start screaming about how terrible I am. I hate existing so much. I feel like my family is mentally unwell

I have to wait a year to move to a school and live on campus and I am 21. And my dad emotionally abuses me and I only have one friend and no job. My dad works from home 3 days a week and emotionally abuses me and calls me sick and a sociopath. He wants to put me in a mental hospital. He criticizes me and gets very angry at me for the littlest things and is controlling and blames me for everything. Also he threatens to evict me from the house twice a month. He won't let me forget my past mistakes. He stares at me which makes me uncomfortable.

I barely know my family or friends, what they think they know of me is a complete miscommunication or flat-out lie I told them because of my anxiety, ignorance & insecurity. Far as I am concerned right now my past is dead to me because it isn't real as I'm so done and exhausted but how do I express this to those around me exactly.

On two separate occasions my ex's mom has called my job looking for me and last night she came in to talk to me. She was emotional and talking to me about our son we share but there are so many reasons why I don't want my son involved with them. I feel it's my right to protect my child if I know he isn't safe. Not saying it's the grandma but my ex just doesn't make the wisest decisions and as his mother she'll of course take his word over mine. I've asked her not to leave the baby alone with him and she still does. I've suspected my ex was molesting our son in the past so this is the reason I feel like he needs supervision all the time. She doesn't believe me though so she does anything to try to force me to allow my ex to see our son but I don't want that crap in our lives. Things like this have been told so she wants to do everything in her power to make her son look like he would never do anything like that. And that he's a great dad but in reality he isn't. So they harass me all the time and I'm tired of it

My 17 year old daughter has the body and face of a 6th grader. When she's out partying with other 17 year olds, it raises concerns because she appears like a young child with neglectful parents. Strangers have called the police several times. They always describe my daughter as: approximately 11-12 years old, partying with an older crowd, no parents are present. The police leaves us alone once we show proof that she's actually 17 but with a very prepubescent look. It's a hassle to deal with these reports.

I've just got into an argument with my mom n aunt about two completely different things. first, my aunt has no right to jump into our argument, n sure calling my mother the B-word is wrong but my mother is always trying to be right even when she is wrong. anyway, my mom and I were arguing about my bodyweight problem but I am fine on how I look plus I honestly don't care what others think of me. my mom kept annoying me about if I have been walking the dog (and it's not even for the dog but for me only) lately (which I have) even if my sister came back from her trip to Wisconsin. you see, during her trip to WI to work for her car I have been doing both our chore list while my aunt and her daughter do nothing but sleep or go to work, but at the time it was summer so my cousin didn't have to school. So, I have to do all "chore list" by myself with no help like mowing the lawn, picking up my little brothers at different times, then on Friday clean both of the bathrooms upstairs n down, and on top of that be the dishwasher for a month with no help, plus cook for my little brother while I have made food my sister pets. I mean, I just have a lot on my plate and my aunt has the never say something even when she has nothing to do with the problem. sorry English is my first language so I'm sorry for grammar. but I'm not going to apologize because I have done nothing wrong I'm beginning to feel like what I do isn't enough to please my mother because I'm the only one the family who help her out with the house, but if my younger sister did "ONE" good thing then all my hard work is for nothing. I mean, they said she is more adult because she 'drive" a car and if that case I'm too an adult but no I'm not. Ugh, Im so frustrated with this family that does appreciate their firstborn son.

I';m an adult and have long suspected this. Mark--He is a pathological BS artist. He reminds me of my aunt's ex-husband who was a conman cause of being a politician and lawyer.

I am a current college student who still lives at home with her parents. Tonight, I asked my parents if I could go out with friends to another state after (God forbid) 9:00 PM (please, not the sarcasm). My father said he didn't think I should go. When I calmly asked him where his opinion was coming from, he flipped out, claimed that I was arguing with him, and proceeded to say a lot of unrepeatable and unmentionable things to me. He told me that if I wanted to go, then I could (in much more colorful language), but that if something bad happened to me, I shouldn't go crawling back home to him. Mind you, I have rarely ever gone out late. All through college I never hung out with friends past 8:00 PM because my father was so unproductive. Even in all my time in college so far, I can count the number of times I have stayed out late on one hand. So, the point I am trying to make here, is, if this is normal behavior for a parent? I would just like to add that I have always been a good daughter, I always did well in school and listened to everything my parents have told me. My father has just always been very overprotective and it has seriously impeded my social growth and development in high school and even now in college. I don't understand where his reaction came from. He started the conversation off in an angry manner and things only got worse once I calmly and politely questioned where his opinion was coming from.

My daughter's new friend lives in a big foster group home. They met at our neighbourhood park over the summer. When I first met her, something seemed a little strange about her. Her foster home doesn't seem to supervise her based on the life stories that she's told my daughter. Besides, she doesn't even live in our neighbourhood - why is she at our nearby park alone so often?? My daughter and her school friend both thinks she's interesting. She is so different from all the other friendships that my daughter had. As a mother, I'm worried that this young girl might be a safety threat. If no one is looking out for her, then she's vulnerable to sexual abuse and drugs. Once a child is lured to such evil acts, the abusers often force the child to help lure other kids in too. The girl could possibly introduce dangerous people to my own child. School doesn't start until early September so I can't have her occupied with homework yet. We aren't going on any short vacations that would take her time away from that girl. Me, my husband and another set of parents didn't expect our two daughters to encounter a child from such a broken environment.

I swear if it's not just a lighthearted topic it's like he's trying to start a debate or prove something to me. He's such a know it all. He's one of your typical republican, Christian dads who thinks that there's only one way that's right. Like all of his beliefs are very typical and traditional where in from, and I'm the type who questions everything and is more rebellious so we don't get along very well. It sucks because I'm trying to get better at having a relationship with him, but it's so damn hard to talk to him about anything. What do I do? How tf do I get along with him?

so i am currently 17 and pregnant and i feel like there just isn't enough room for me in my household. i live in a 4 bedroom house with my mom, her boyfriend, my sister, and her newborn. my sisters baby has a room of his own and i have to share a room with my baby not to mention the room that i'm in isn't even supposed to be a room. i just feel like i'm taking up space and that there isn't enough room for me and my baby.

Could I go into places and ask for a job or would I get looked at weird? I'm trying to find a good job to help my mom. I already work two jobs. I'm 26, female. Still live at home because my mom needs help as my dad walked out on his ten kids and amazing wife(my mom). My mom doesn't deserve this. Money is tight as heck right now. It's been even before my dad left because he was a big spender and he took advantage of my moms checks. She works two jobs as well. Everyone who still lives here which are two of my younger sisters who are ages 20 and 22. My younger brother who is 24 I think. And then my older brother who is 30 I think. He doesn't have a job but all the rest of us do. He is working trying to get in the music industry but it takes time. I just am looking for good pay somewhere. I work two part time jobs. But get paid more at one than the other. One is more stressful than the other. I want to leave the stressful one and find a new job.

I'm feeling bullied at work . I just need to be treated with respect from one person . ▪I made a mistake , she said to me we are going to have to tell . I always cover up for you . People started to talk . They tell me when you're sitting in the morning on the chair , what woulda happened to her if you didn't babysit for her! I love you to death but you can't do this . You gotta improve . . etc . ▪I think she is lying . Nobody told her that . Somebody woulda certainly mentioned that to me. ▪She isn't covering up for me because I do not do anything wrong . I'm just working & doing my best every minute of the day . ▪she told me they're gonna have to tell when I made 1 unintentional mistake . The mistake is small . •she is very popular older woman . I'm not sure what to do . ▪she yells at me and I don't like to be yelled at .. What should I do .

My grandma has always called me "ugly girl" like, "here come the ugly girl" and whenever my nephew come over she says "look it's the ugly girl. She's done this my whole life, and I know she's joking but sometimes it gets to me.

I don't have any true friends. Most of them talk **** about me or just hang out around me when they ave nobody else to talk to. I have been used so much throughout my life for my kindness. Every relationship I've been in hadn't lasted. My last ex got me pregnant and left me for another girl. My parents have barely supported me and I have been abused mentally by my dad. My sister doesn't support me and tries to put me down in any way. I do not have anybody in my life who I can trust, and I am tired of trying to be nice to people and trusting people when all I get is nothing but pain in return. Did I do something to deserve this, because I think of myself to be a nice person. I really try my hardest to just be a nice person to everyone. I am only 15, I can't really do anything to avoid the toxicity around me.

I've always felt intimidated by my mom. Making mistakes like overthinking & misunderstanding something causes her to berate me. These berates has an impact on my social insecurities: I feel there's something to keep up around ppl., just to avoid intimidation/silent judging. I feel the need to have justifications for mistakes. My mom compares me to others & ask "why can't I be like them?" I'm very sensitive. If my mom responds w/an attitude in her voice/action, I feel the blame. One night, money was tight & we went to Target to buy pizza for dinner. She was mad I was looking at the pizzas w/higher prices. I felt the blame for her anger & blew my breath for my frustration, which she negatively responded. Throughout the store, my mom whispered: 'How sensitive i am. She hated me. She wanted to strangle me, give me up to my deadbeat dad.' I wanted to freak out, but couldn't. She constantly slapped/punched me while driving recklessly & screaming. It was the 4th time she's done this. She apologized w/1 sorry & blamed me for her saying those things & driving like that, like she didn't have the self control. I know my mom has a lot to handle, being a single mother raising a son, along w/ having no friends/support from our broken family. I'd never purposely act up to make her mad. I'm a high school senior & my fear of making mistakes is already present. I have no family members, close teachers/friends to talk to. How do I deal w/this?

I just found out that I'm pregnant but I'm only 17. I am no way near ready to be a parent. Not for many, many years to come. I want to put my child for adoption, but I don't want a random stranger/couple to adopt my child. My grandparents said they are willing to be adoptive parents if I'm willing to give my child up, which I am going to do.

They argue frequently and are often rude to each other. It's been like this since I was in third grade. I've been in relationships before and the longest one lasted 3. Years but we never argued like my folks. Whenever their around each other it's like waiting for a bomb to explode. At any minute someone might say something that sparks an argument. I feel apathetic and I'm tired of it 🤷🏿‍♂️

my younger brother was playing with me and he poked my forehead. I then poked the back of his head. He then poked my eye very hard (he got the top of my glasses and my eyelid) so hard the my glasses fell off. my parents then got mad at me and told me to apologize for touching them back (which was the back of the head, not even close to the forehead). all my brother got was a simple shoulder squeeze, and he didn't even have to say sorry buy I had to? When I started crying both my brothers just said i was being dramatic. i have a high pain tolerance, even though it was an accident it hurt so bad and im not even a kid, my eye now feels heavy and I have a bit of a headache. im older than them so that's there reason to be angry at me even though i was hurt. is this fair?

My friend got married at 21 and now she is pregnant. At first, I didn't care, but now I felt jealous a little from her. I told my mom and another student about my feelings all they did is say Im silly.

I would hear my dad and his girlfriend have sex sometimes. They've been together for three years. They're so naughty. Gross! I know sex is good in a relationship but jeez do it where people can't hear it. It makes me angrier when it isn't mom with dad. She left us 10 years ago and dad had a few girlfriends but didn't work out. He had been single for seven years before he met his girlfriend. They're so naughty. Ugh. Whatever happened to being good? Why do most women make noises and grunt so much. Are sexually active couples happier.

I only have 275 dollars in my bank account.and my mom wants me to pay the cell phone bill.which is 500 dollars and some charge. and I have to pay another bill which is 107 dollars. what should I do with only 275 in my bank account. ?

They only see her on holidays by their design so i try to let it go and let them hold and play but i dont even bother them at all also by their design through out the year then when i see them mostly his sister acts ticked off at me ?? I dont get it. She barley speaks to me . I have to say hello to get a hello out of her while shes holding my child 😬makes me crazy . What would you do and sometimes i dont go bc i dont want to deal with her moodyness .

My sister is a cruel person
