My mother in law said she won't go trick or treating with us and her 3 year old granddaughter because she has to go to Macy's. She's constantly telling me how she never sees her enough. We visit with her twice a week which isn't enough for her I guess. But when holidays roll around it's always something weird. Baby's First Christmas: left Christmas Day for a holiday in Egypt. First birthday party: came for 5 minutes at the end. She lives 10 minutes away. What's her problem? If she didn't care to begin with I wouldn't be as frustrated. But she puts a guilt trip on me about everything and then these precious moments happen, we all prepare and she disappears. It makes no sense. 

Ok I found my sisters tumblr and it shocked me. She's 22. This is my older sister that I love, Brittany. We used to watch spongebob together when we were 10. We went to our first concert together (Brittney spears) . And when I found her tumblr all of that disappeared. She had sexual photos of her dressing up like a baby on her tumblr. She was wearing a diaper, she had a binky. It literally made me throw up. I closed the tab and went to the bathroom to vomit. She doesn't know I found it and talks to me like everythings normal. I tried to act like nothing was wrong but I can't. She knows something is up but she doesn't know what exactly. I want everything to be normal again, but whenever I see her I just remember the photos. I know it's her life but I can't help my brain from thinking that's ******* disgusting. How can I accept this? Should I go to therapy? should I talk to her. I just want my older sister who I used to look up to back

I have been in my step daughter's life since she was 2. Her mom and I separated when she was 5 and we got back together when she was 7, and now she's almost 14. I've tried spending time with her, doing special things just for her and buying her amazing things, but after me finally breaking down and asking her she says "she doesn't want to get too close". She's never met her dad, and he died when she was born. I've been the only father figure in her life besides her grandpa and uncle. What does she mean, and how can I get her to let down her emotional barrier? 

I was getting the mail at my house and there's was this package. I didn't know what it was and I didn't look at the label so I open it impulsively. And when I opened it there was a dildo inside! I immediately knew it was my older's sisters. I started to have a panic attack. I didn't want to tell my sister because she would yell at me for looking at her stuff. I also didn't want to have that awkward moment with her. I couldn't just put it back because my sister would know I opened it because I've opened her stuff that she's gotten in the mail before. She wouldn't believe that it came like that. So my brain came up with the plan to throw it away the package so my sister would think it got lost in the mail. I didn't want to throw in away at my house so I went to the dumpster near my house. The dumpster is behind a church. So I ran to the dumpster and the top of the dumpster was open so I tried to toss it in but i missed! the package hit the wall of the church. I thought I heard some voices and I didn't want anybody to ask me what I was doing and to investigate so I just ran home. So basically I threw a dildo at a church. My mind is coming up with all these scenarios that's going to happen. I have really bad anxiety. I'm scared someone who works at the church is gonna find the package and there gonna look at the cameras and see that I threw and I'm gonna go to get arrested. I can't eat or sleep. Should I be worried? 0 following 10 answers

Okay so I know the caption seems kinda childish but honestly my blood is boiling.  So I'm a teen and my brother who is older (21) is still living with my mother and I asked to borrow my laptop for his "D&D session" I only knew that it was a game so I said "sure" and two hours later I went on his door to ask him for my laptop for school work. He told me that the sessions lasted 3-5 hours each and he'd return it afterwords (he never did.) I thought that it was a one time thing but he used my laptop again not even asking and I asked him if he had it and he lied in my face and told me that he didn't. This went on multiple times and finally caught him with my computer in his room and I went off on him telling him that I payed for it and if he wanted to play his game so bad for him to get a job because when he finally returns it it's 11 pm and I have a lot of homework so I only get 3 hours of sleep a night. He said okay and then I found it in his room after telling him on Saturday he can if he wants to because he was asking multiple times. It was fall break and yesterday I went into his room to get my computer as I am sick and need to do schoolwork because I'm behind. I opened my laptop which had crumbs on it and what looks like paint on the back and screen lines on my computer. My blood is boiling and I don't know what to do because my mother just keeps saying it's from old age and I don't use it that often besides for schoolwork even then I use it maybe 3 times a week for 30 mins Also when I meant I only get three hours of sleep a night because of him since I have homework and at the end I said that I only use it 3 times a week maybe and 30 minutes I meant that's when I didn't have to worry. Since he's been playing these games on my laptop I've had to do more homework than I have in my life because I now have barely passing grades so I have to use my laptop more than often now and I can't even do that because it's broken.

7 months ago I got back from my deployment to Syria early due to an injury to my legs. I don't want to go into detail about my injury because of fear of being recognized. I am now stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of the my life and in constant pain. I need someone to grab things for me, Drive me places, help me in the car, help me onto the toilet and so many more daily activities. I was married but she couldn't handle my needs and I supported her leaving me. I feel bad for the family of anyone bound to a wheelchair. I feel like I am hardly even a man anymore. How is anyone bound to a wheelchair happy? 

Okay so I was with my first bf for 6 years we had two boys together. Our relationship was bad Mental and physical abuse happened for about a year. I don't have alot of family just my mom who died and two sisters. We moved 6 hours away right after that for work. I was always a stay at home mom so when he would get home he was always so grouchy to me and the kids. I had finally had enough and was done. We still lived together until I got on my feet and as childish as I was we started seeing other people STILL living together 🙄  Anyways he met a girl one time moved straight in with her and left me and the kids without anything. I was a mess never dreamed he would abandon his kids. His mom called straight away and told us to come home. We got what we could put in a few bags and left. I stayed with my sister and his mom back and fourth. I'm from a small town so finding work here was nearly impossible. A month passed and One night I met a guy who completely swept me off my feet. He was so attractive, sweet and we had fun together. We dated for about 3 months and my kid's father found out He hadn't contacted me once until then and just did to let me know he knew.he stated he wanted his family back and wanted to move home. He moved back and I was living with his mom. It was awkward! Found out I was pregnant with my new guy. He was younger and didn't have a job car or.house so I was scared but he got everything done. It's been a year and I can't decide im so torn and love them both.

She is married and all with two kids already so it is no problem, I found out cause I saw her son.

My brother has had a drug addiction problem since was a teenager. He is now in his late 20's.  This has been going on for the past decade.  And while I do hope for his recovery and it hurts me to see him throw his life away for drugs, there really isn't much I can do.  He is in and out of jail on a monthly basis. For obvious things like drug possession, failure to appear, and the latest is a full on robbery of a department store.  He's facing prison for that one.  The fact of the matter is, I am tired of writing him letters.  I am tired of visiting him in jail and telling him the same old thing, only for him not to listen to any advice I give him. I am tired of playing the role of the emotionally supportive sister.  I feel like visiting and writing is only enabling him. I also think I do it because my mom is always mentioning to me that my brother would like a visit or a letter. As if I am obligated to entertain a felon. Yes, he is my brother and I do love him.  But I have a life. And that doesn't include visiting/writing a relative in jail every month for years for choices he continues to make.  Is it time to let go of the guilt?  Be honest with my mom and tell her I, if he wants to see me or hear from me he needs to straighten his life up? It's what I want to say...

dad full-time because my mom has drug/alcohol addiction and is in rehab I have Not gone bra shopping once in the past year and I do not know how to convince my dad to take me to pink or to VS 

A boy I know at school has been bragging to me and another friend that he makes a lot of money doing stuff on webcam and a couple times in person. He says it like it's a quick easy way to get a lot of money and stuff. He recently got a bunch of new games for his PS4 and Xbox.  My parents talk to me all the time about what is and isnt appropriate to do on the internet and I try to explain to him that he shouldn't but he acts like I'm being dramatic and over reacting. I dont want him to get in trouble and I know if he finds out I told on him he's gonna lie or say I only told bc I was jealous (which I'm not). He's about to turn 17, so I might be wrong, he might be old enough for what he's doing, I'm not though, so idk.

so i have a problem staying awake and my mom calls me like 5 times every hour and now my ringtone has become terrifying to me so i changed it (it was the first gintama theme song, then i changed it to kuuchuu buranko by plastic tree) and im still really scared of it, i dont realise when i fall asleep or anything so my mom always calls me but idk why im all of the sudden very scared of it and my mom doesnt believe me!!!

My step mom we will call her p. I don't understand why shes so rude to me. I can't even make her understand that what she says hurts me I am really self-conscious of my body and it pains me when I hear her say my shorts are to short when "they stop at my thighs" like today for instance I just woke up I like sleeping in my birthday suit so what I keep my door locked when I sleep but anyways I woke up and put on my robe to go outside and smell the morning autumn air then walk back inside talk to my dog give him a kiss and walk to the kitchen I didn't see my she did that my robe was open just a lil bit I have those tiddy that sag low my my chest is literally a chest no boob no cleavage just a flat cutting board. Not only does she nit pick the way I dress she also has a delusional idea that me and my father do the nasty which is disgusting to even think about she's even gone as far as calling me a slut saying that I am trying to take my dad away from her. But this post is long then I expected it to be I just need advice maybe from another step mother or just a woman please help

She's constantly yelling a throwing fits over how much time I spend on my phone how do I tell her the reason I'm on my phone so much is because I would rather be any where else than right there with her

He says toughen up be a man. He offers no empathy.

My mother was an alcoholic, she died last year at 60. She couldn't play the role as mother very well due to her illness. So starting as a teenager I kept her together and played the role of mother. I even live with her until her death when I was age 28 and she was 60. My older siblings who knew her before she was drinking said it was not healthy that I was having to play the role of mother rather than being the daughter. However, I take great pride in this. I realize I probably enabled sometimes but besides that I take pride in being the role of mother rather than pulling away like my siblings dead. My older siblings knew her before she was drinking said it was not healthy that I was having to play the role of mother rather than being the daughter. However, I take great pride in this. I realize I probably enabled sometimes but besides that I take pride in being the role of mother rather than pulling away like my siblings dead. So was there anything wrong with what I did? Two of my three siblings would not even speak to her the last 12 years of her life. She was a severe alcoholic there's no doubt but as a daughter I was not in a position to scold her. So was there anything wrong with what I did?

My old baby's mom is mad at me because she said it's my fault that she got put out of her home With our child. She said that I was WRONG for sitting outside from her home with another woman while my other baby's mom was at her home pregnant with our child ( my other baby's mom know all about it, but she doesn't care.) My old baby's mom says that I'll never see our baby because I won't pay child support, and that the women I'm with are stupid for being with me knowing I said that I'll never pay neither one child support. My new baby's mom don't even want child support. In fact she said she'll never act like my old baby's mom... and she is glad we're a family. I've only known her for a couple months and she already move me into her home. Women, will you be mad over this? 

The day before yesterday night, i came back home, and my mom wasn't there, it was late so i went to sleep. In the morning i wake up, look to my mom's bedroom, and she's there. That would be normal, if it wasn't for the fact that she left her keys for me under that carpet because i left mine at home, and when i got home MY keys were here too. I get up and ask her how she got in. Ah yes of course, haha, i was the one who let her in. And sshe even asked me where i got the flowers from (they were from my grandma for a project), apparently i told my mom that there was a note (there was no note), my mom went looking for a note that didn't exist, then she came back to me and i told her that it was for a project from grandma. My mom told me that i was answering her questions really quickly "like a robot".  I'd like to point out that i usually associate flowers with notes attached to them, telling the recipient who it is for.  Also this isn't the first time, apparently I've let my mom in the house months ago as well. And as a kid i fell out of my bed and i remember that my head hurt and that i started crying, but my eyes were closed and i couldn't move, then in the morning i wake up IN MY BED. I don't remember getting in my bed, i went to my parents because of my head and they freaked out and asked me why i didn't come to them so i guess they weren't the ones who put me back in bed. Ps i went to sleep at about 10 pm and my mom came home at 3 am

One of my biggest pet peeves is being lied to. I'm a very honest and blunt person and have even gotten in trouble for being too honest. My mother on the other hand seems to be a compulsive liar. I will list a few things that she has done and I would really appreciate your advice. She lies even when there is physical proof of her wrongdoing. She was badly gossiping about her brother and someone recorded her and sent it to him. There was a family meeting called and even with the live recording she still lied with dramatics (swearing to God, shaking, etc). She was caught having inappropriate relations with a family friend and my dad showed me proof of text messages/calls from our phone network. She lied & lied and even claimed she wanted to commit suicide. I asked her to stop telling my personal business to a family friend because I saw that they were not a good person. She continued to do so and would lie & say for ex "Cathy told me to tell you this" when it was actually the person who I told her to not talk on my behalf with. She even lied on a pastor and told me he was saying horrible things about me which he didn't, just to get me away from his church. She loves to twist and turn ppl words and it's so scary because she does it so well that you will believe her. One time she got a random purse from my sister's room and lied that my sister's bf bought it for my sis. It was a bag that I had watched my sister buy  herself. I don't trust anything that comes from her mouth. 

Okay so, my "biological" father passed away when I was little (I never really had a relationship with him), so my mom's husband adopted me when I was 6, he's the only father figure I've ever had. I recently found out that my mom's husband's brother (my uncle) is actually my real biological father (we took a DNA test to confirm). I'm so angry that I've been lied to all these years, and it makes everything confusing because now my siblings are my half cousins\half siblings, and what am I gonna do just start calling my dad Uncle? it's like a real hillbilly situation up in here, I need some advice because I don't know how to handle this!!

I'm currently 18 and in my first year of college, and I have a younger sibling in the early years of elementary. Over the past year, our mother has been distancing herself even further from us. Both of our parents work, however mom seems to use work as an escape from home and family life. she also immediately spends all the money she makes on materialistic impulses. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and i feel like i'm falling apart trying to keep the balance between everything, including being a pseudo-parent to my sibling. whenever i'm not home, mom practically neglects my sibling, too busy spending time on her phone talking to friends and some other crap.  i also try to keep up with taking care of the house and stuff, but college and applying for jobs and constantly babysitting take up a good chunk of time and mom always gets mad at me if anything is messy, despite her spending her days off on her phone. if i ever approach her on any topic regarding any of the aforementioned things, she immediately get defensive and angry, saying how it's not my place as her daughter to "judge" her. she's started seeing a counselor recently, although i don't know how much that's been helping. i just don't know how to solve this increasingly worsening problem, and i've been starting to worry whenever my sibling is left alone with our mother. don't get me wrong, i love my mom, but, well.

I'm her only child. @Anonymous, you are your mom's youngest, I'm my my mom's the only child, and your mother had you when she was 35, my mom had me when she was 39...I really feel like sh*t.

I live with sister and dad, shes treated like a ******* princess and does whatever the **** she wants... I bought candy today, she goes over and cuts open a bag, takes what she wants and then leaves trash on counter. I say Arent you gonna clean that up and she says not my problem as she goes to her room, so I go shove the trash in her face and then she throws the trash in my room.... Dad treats her like a ******* princess who doesnt have to clean up **** and I usually ignore it but got tired of her **** today..... (Been in this house a year now dealing with this **** and usually ignore it til dad cleans everything every few months...) WHAT DO I DO, I CANT LIVE WITH A FAT LAZY ******* SLOP AND DONT HAVE MONEY TO MOVE OUT YET.... ID BEAT THE **** OUT OF HER IF I WAS ALLOWED TO.... 

Normally I do not go threw his computer but he got malware trying to download fornite money. I found a lot of Garfield pictures in his documents? Most where anthro garfield. most was garfield on a womens body but some on a mans? Do I bring this up with him? is he mentally well?

My Mother can't like one thing for who I am...she is too controlling...she is angry and upset all the time about how I am...like she doesn't like me sleeping past 5am ! She dictates all the rules of how I should be and sues everyone by harsh words and uses very pungent words...tiniest things upset her... doesn't like dad either, her mom...she ruins her own mood for something negligible...the first thing she does everyday is take her anger on someone by nitpicking ... I tried my best talking with her many times , but she takes it for anger too...she's upset all the time man?

In how they think, act, mannerism, behaviour, what they like, what they dont like etc

My mom and dad got divorced a while ago when I was little. My mom and I always get into fights. I want to move to my dads but I have a 5 year old sister that already lost her dad to cancer. And I don't want her to lose anyone else. What can I do?

I was an only child we migrated from a different country and I've always had to translate for my parents now I have a little brother and I have to help him with his homework and my parents have always told me that I am useless. My mom always judges me on how I look and tells me I'm useless she also tells me that I am so fat. Now I'm trying to eat as less as possible to please her. I always do everything right to please them but it's making me so depressed. I am scared of disappointing them.I've never had any friends because they never let me hang out with anyone since everyone is a bad influence. They want me to always be with them and I can never be alone in my room. When I'm with them they just tell me I don't do anything all day and that I am useless this makes me so sad they say I am so lady. what should I do I feel so worthless.

So today my mom and I had an argument. I am 16 and just got my first car. The car is in my dads name, he pays the insurance and I pay the Payments. (By the way my parents are divorced) anyways, the car is not in my moms name and she doesn't have anything to do with it. But she decided to tell me that I am grounded from my car. Can she legally do this if she isn't associated with the car in any way other than the fact she is my mother. By the way I called my dad and he said that she had no right to take my car from me also. And he is not happy that she is doing this. If my mom gets authorities involved can they do anything to me? 

My sister is a single mom who's having trouble with one of her children.  He is 13 and too difficult to deal with.  He does not listen to what she says to him, is rude, he yells at her or anyone else in the family that tries to talk to him, says bad words freely even to his mother.  Worst of all he tries to hit people when they try to make him understand what he is doing wrong.  He couldn't care less about school and says he actually wants to just sit home and not go to school. I get so mad seeing him act like that and treating his mother the way he does. I feel like he is just too young to be acting the way that he does and I can only imagine that he would get worse as he gets older.  I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is that's why i needed some help. I did think about sending him to boot camp but I haven't brung it up to my sister yet. If y'all have any ideas that could help please share them, thank you. a troubled person.   To those saying it's from bad parenting, it might be but i highly doubt it. She does her best and her other children have turn out to be great and well behaved. She does ground him and take away all electronics from him however grounding him doesn't seem to work. Also I'm trying to find a solution, like how can this be fixed before it is too late

Wouldn't you at least wear a long t shirt over it when he's around? If not, why? Even if you went outside to sunbathe, you could take the shirt off once you went out in the backyard with the suit on of course.

I'm really struggling lately I'm in a lot of emotional pain and am getting bullied by adults in the town where I live. My Dad tells me to just deal with it. I don't think he realizes how much I'm suffering inside. I had a bad infection and almost died and had to be hospitalized. When I was discharged and my Dad picked me up I thought he'd be happy I was better but all he said to me was" you realize how much this is going to cost me and now you made me miss my morning meeting at work."  my birthday was recently and my Dad didn't want to do anything for my birthday he didn't even wish me a happy birthday nobody did. Because of the adults in this town I habe zero friends. My brothers tell me all the time that it's my fault our mother died from cancer. I feel lost and alone and like I have nothing my Dad won't let me get a job because everyone I'm offered or offered an interview he says is unsafe. So I spend my days alone in my room reading. How do I help my Dad realize how much emotional pain I'm in?

That's not illegal

My sister invited a guy over to her house that I don't know. (Mind you I'm just visiting because she wanted to see my baby). And as I'm breastfeeding my child, he burst in the into the room door. He didn't say sorry or anything until I got up and said to my sister in front of both of them that he burst into the room" she said, "he thought it was my room, that's why he did that" The door was locked! So I don't understand! I'm really THINKING about not ever coming back! Should I stop talking to her?

After being abused their whole life (and still being abused as an adult because they are living with their narcissist parent until they see a right time to get out - they wish they could leave ASAP)....  And seeing almost everyone in their daily life now as some type of bad person who's liable to turn their back on them, abuse them just like their parents, and just being emotionally hurt and unstable constantly. Please remember this person grew up and is currently dealing with parent(s) who are very mentally, emotionally abusive constantly. They manipulate and are very selfish and the person is and was treated like a toy with no feelings or desires of their own. If you know anything about narcissism, you might understand what I'm talking about. Thank you.

My mom really does hate me.She loves my sister and adores her.My sister does nothing fir this family except for handing my mom stress and anxiety. Tailynn (my sister) is a moody teenager who goes off and has sex with her boyfriend in California, She complains when she cant see him and throws a huge meltdown. My sister says that im mentally ill and that I have a condition, she should know her place since she has a condition her self. I cut, so she makes fun of me for doing it and laughs and chuckles. I told my mom about it and its an important topic for me but...She just dosen't care. My sister yells and screams cuss words in the house but when i even say "Hell" I get every single electronic taken away from me. She throws fits and NEVER gets her things taken away. Plus her things are better then mine, She has an iphone and a nice computer that can actually play online games. Over here i have a computer thats crappy and can barley manage any storage and dosent allow me to do anything. She also gets money for things I DO, i babysit and clean although she gets 20$ for it?? and even when my mom knows im watching soren to she goes behind my back and pays the *****. Im so upset with this house i just cant even my family is the reason i want to kill myself. Also tailynn talks behind my moms back about how horrible she is, just wanna say one more thing if your reading this tailynn I HATE YOU.

Looking back on this. I was 14 and I am 25 now. I am a girl. I used to play a game on the Xbox 360 back in the day. I was friends with a kid on there and invited me to a group chat with some other guy there that I've never met before. This guy was older than 18. I don't remember his age but I just remember he was way older than us. I was talking to my friend about the game we were both playing while this guy sat there quiet for 5 minutes in our talking. Then he randomly says, "Is your pussy wet?" To me because I was the only girl in the chat. I immediately got quiet and froze up. I couldn't muster up any words and I just couldn't reply. Then he said, "Well? What do you have to say?" And I remember he was laughing like he thought it was funny and he enjoyed that he made me so speechless. My friend also froze and didn't say anything and this friend of mine was 12. Then I said, "You must not have a girlfriend if you are talking like that to me." Then I left the chat room immediately. That was all I could think up to say to that weirdo. I've heard of things like that happening to girls but in person and they say that's sexual harassment. Is my experience sexual harassment too?

She told me last November (2018) she would stop, but she has not, it's been almost a year (it's October 29 rn)

They are estranged over her sisters name calling and insults, my sister is exactly the same and guilty of the same.

I like kids; They are just like mini people that you can talk to and interact with but babies are just really anoying and gross. I don't hate them or wish harm to them but I really don't want to hold them or do anything with them. I don't find them cute. I am a 20 year old female and it seems like every other girl LOVES babies. Is their anyone out there who also doesn't care for babies? 

I want a dna test. How do I know these are my real parents 

today i went & met a new found friend at a local cafe near me for a coffee & something to eat, i found this friend ''liam'' at a mens mental health drop in that i was going to for a year, but the drop in centre shut down recently because of lack of funding..but i got liams phone number and kept in contact with him as a friend. so we met today at a local cafe for something to eat and a coffee, it went well..& afterwards i went back to liams house to relax and spend some time at his..but when we first entered the cafe, i noticed it was bustling with people and women....but as we went in and sat down, as the minutes ticked by, people and the women started to get up and leave? and eventually it was just me and liam in the cafe by ourselves.  i couldn't help but feel offended & angry about this, as i suffer with paranoia and think sometimes women and people are avoiding me...or women have been told to avoid me....so me going in the cafe with liam, then not too long after all the nice women up & leaving..it just confirmed my paranoid ideas? and i felt like a bit of an outcast in society. i'm a man in my early forties who's had a hard life, who has had mental health problems & as such, has never established any relationships with women, never had a female partner..ive missed out big time...i have lived alone for 14 years in a council flat...my only support network is my elderly parents. so, are people/ women avoiding me? if not, why do they seem to avoid me everywhere i go?
