My sister occasionally comes over to my apartment. My brother/roommate has now told me she is not allowed at our home. My brother and sister do not get along, but my sister causes no drama and doesn't even speak to him when she comes over. Can he legally refuse to let me have her over? I get along with her fine and would hate to stop having her over.

She was my great grand mother on my fathers side. My dad's name was Lee Otis Wooten from Boone county WV.

My little sister is 20. She is the youngest of 4 girls all fairly close in age. A couple of years ago, around the age of 16-18 she changed completely.  She is so mean and rude. Whether it's to me, my sisters, my parents, etc. She really doesn't hVe any sympathy for anyone and is an embarrassment to be out with in public because she has no regard for anyone. The way she talks to people, including family, it's just always negative and rude. We have to walk on eggshells around her when we're together as a family. She sleeps around a lot, even if it's someone one of us sisters has been with she doesn't care, she smokes weed (which isn't a bad thing I don't view weed as a "horrible" thing), got caught stealing and was put on probation but still would smoke even knowing she would be tested for it. She just has not a care in the world. She went to college and didn't find great friends so ended up hating it. Took some time off to work at a food place where she was given responsibly and ended up quitting bc she didn't like having the responsibly and just has such a bad Attidude And no work ethic. I can't tell if that is just who she is as a person now that she's grown or if she has some underlying issues but it makes me so sad I wNt to help. Does anyone have any insight or experience that may be able to direct me in the right way? I just feel bad for her and am so embarrassed to bring fiends or significant others around her. It really sucks 

I went to a family therapist who said just like some marriages fall apart and can't be repaired, the same can happen with families. He said that I have to get a life, move on and grieve the loss of my family. He said grief is normal and you just have to endure it. He said no one can take away that pain. How can you be happy without a family? (I am over 21!) Any thoughts on how to not hate myself because I don't have a family anymore? I blame myself for this situation but there are 4 adult children so how can I be responsible? I guess I blame myself because they want nothing to do with me..but they want nothing to do with each other either. So it isn't like I am the bad one of the family. They have marriage partners and children. I don't. Can I be happy without a family? If so, how? Please help! Thank you.

She is a very mean person but it is still my sister.

He is scary

My friend is a 21 years old guy and his dad is 48. Yesterday I was at his house when his dad called to him he was in the bathroom so he ask me to answer for him. It was his dad who answers it saying " hi sweetie, are mom at home?'' I thouth its very much weird!!

So my sister has two kids her daughter is wonderful. Her17 yo son is terrible and he gets worth with age. He treats his sister and mother horribly  He attacked their body size cause they wore shorts on a hot dau. Funny thing is he had jeans on and was so miserable. But He got himself for being a mysoginist jerk and I offered my sis to watch him. Cantstand the kid but my sis says I can make him work. I also decided after my house is spotless he's going to clean the portapoties to "give back to the community." Am I being petty? I just gotta talk abputtbis cuz this kid is such a jerk bully. He don't know what's coming😀

I'm 24, I've never had a decent relationship with my mother. She's constantly making digs at me try's to turn people against me. I try to avoid her I live with my grandma and they love to talk **** about me behind my back about the food I'm eating . I have pcos and I have to take medication and she's makes nasty comments to me about it ... regarding comments. I want so badly to knock her the **** out and call her a ***** but I know with her things could get Ugly fast as she has a huge temper so I'm trying not too. Even if I did she'd try to get my whole family to hate me as she usually does. I'm trying to stay calm but the way she talks to me, and saying that all I do is on my fat *** and everytime she tries to pick me she throws me out of her car on the street . She's gossips about me to people and puts me down. She's hates me cause I'm a female She is the nastiest woman ever. How do I control my temper before I end up choking her? Or any advice at all? I would choose not to talk to her at all but she brings me to collrge once and week and talks to my grandma so it's hard to totally avoid her please help

Losing son has to move out, get a job, do their own laundry and cooking.

I am my brother's younger sister. I really like him and we are very close. He is very protective of me. He recently hurt his arm and he can not do his ususal activity of spanking the monkey. He ask me to spank it for him. I think that is too much for him to ask his sister to do. Is it?

I am a 20 year old girl with a 42 year old single mom. My mom and I are very close. I have a great boyfriend Bob, my age. I had arranged a birthday party for my mom at a local restaurant. Many of mom's friends would be at her party. Bob was to pick me and my mom up and take us to the party. Bob was at my house waiting for me to come home when I called him that I had to work 2 extra hours. I asked Bob to take mom on and I would meet them there later and he did. At the party mom's friends ask her who Bob was. She jokingly said he was her date. Mom's friends thought it was great that she had a young date and Bob went along and played the part of her date. Mom loves to dance so Bob danced with her a lot. I did not know it but he is a great actor. When I got to the party, Bob clued me in on what was happening and since mom was so happy I went along. I had not seen her that happy in years. It was a wonderful experience for her. She said it made her feel young and alive again. At first I was not sure how I felt about what happened but seeing mom so happy took away all my concerns. She had given up so much for me, I was glad to share my boyfriend for one evening. Afterwards when I asked her if she enjoyed her birthday party, she said it was her best birthday party EVER. I think I have the best mom and boyfriend in the world. Please tell me if you think I am thinking straight.

We are not a close family.

My son was failing in Math so the high school recommended a tutor. They gave me a list of tutors. I started calling and most of them had all the tutoring they could do. I called Lisa and she said she was available for 1 hour 2 days a week. From day 1 of her tutoring my son's grades starting improving. She was only getting paid for 1 hour as that was all I could afford but she often spent much more time with my son. After a month of tutoring my son came to me and ask me to please get another tutor. When I ask him why, he said Lisa was so beautiful, hot, and sexy he could not concentrate on math when she was with him. The next time she was here I looked closely at her and she was gorgeous. She had a figure to die for. She told me she is a college student and also has a part time job as a swim suit model. It just does not seem right to tell her she can not tutor my son anymore as she has done wonders for his grades. She is also a VERY NICE person and it is not her fault she is so beautiful. It is my son's fault he can not keep his mind on math with her but I can understand how teenage boys would be distracted by such a beautiful girl. I also do not want to waste my money for a tutor when my son will not learn anything because his mind is on something else. How should I teach him he is going to have to deal with beautiful women all his life and he has to get used to it. Can somebody please give me some advice on what I should do?

There's this lady that I call my mom and we have known each other almost 2 years and she's been just that. Recently she got upset with me and told me to basically only call her by her name not by mom because she needs a break from me and her son. She also went in great detail to tell me that we aren't mother daughter strong and she was cutting me off.  However later she came back to apologize and say that the way that the message was sent wasn't the way she meant it and she was responding out of anger. I've been trying to move on considering that she apologized genuinely and I can see how hurt she is by it.  We have been smiling and laughing and on good terms trying to work on this especially on my end it's pretty hard because I believe what's said out of anger is meant. The other day a question popped in my head to ask her and it was about the situation, I basically asked if I was ever consider her child and if she told her son to stop calling her mom, so I asked her and immediately she becomes mad telling me to let it go. Is it fair for her to want me not to ask questions about the situation? And where should I go from here ? 

It is the biggest of all secrets in extended family history. In The Country : This has nothing to do with adoption, this cousin is not adopted.

My nana is my carer and my mum lives with us. I see my dad in Saturday's. Basically my family story is a bit ****** up and today my dad offered me to go to Fiji with him next year with my step mum and my step siblings. I told my nana and she immediately flipped she told me they weren't my siblings and that if I go I'm no longer apart of the family. This is something that happens often, I can never do anything and they don't care about my studies in school. I spend most of my time at school or at home because I can't go anywhere and they told me I'm not depressed even though I'm on anti depressants and that I need to grow up.

I lost everything because of my addiction. Nobody trusts me. I lied and stole to support my addiction. I have racked so much in debt and it's overwhelming doing this by myself. How do I repair everything I messed up? I feel less than human and it's making it awfully hard to stay clean

I am a 21-year-old man. I feel lost in life and at times hopeless. I was academically dismissed 2 years ago, and I have been going to community college since. My mother is currently on dialysis and has a pacemaker, she's been in and out of the hospital, for the past few years, and I lost my uncle, who I was close to, due to heart disease around 2 years back. All this has been difficult to deal with, my grades suffered as a result. My family is from Bangladesh, I grew up here in the USA, my parents aren't understanding people. they feel I should have gotten A's despite the situation. they feel I bring shame to the family. they make jokes about my failure, and constantly ridicule me. They say I'll work dead-end jobs, my whole life. they think saying this is motivation for me to do better.   Although they want the best for me. I've thought of moving out, but I need to take care of my mother. Also, I work full time for pocket money/ tuition, etc.. But it's difficult to work and go to school. I'm struggling to do well in school right now, I'm a bio major, and at one point I wanted to someday go into medicine, It doesn't seem realistic right now. My grades were good in high school, and I believe I'm fairly intelligent and capable of doing well in school. I'm just lost right now and have no support. I understand I have to be self-reliant/ sufficient. Also, I'm really interested in history, but I not sure its a good career choice. how do i turn my life around?

I don't know how to begin, so I'll just begin somewhere. I'm an adult now, but my life was practically ruined by my abusive sister who is almost a decade my senior and spent the bulk of my life physically and mentally abusing me. I can recall vivid images of her racing at me with the legs of a chair trying to stab me to death in my mid teens. By that point she'd spent my entire life attacking me on a daily basis and that day was no different. She was obviously in her 20s. Needless to say, this was besides the daily insults, cursing, screaming, and telling anyone that would listen that we aren't related and that I should die. This has continued into my late 20s until I permanently disconnected from her and changed my number. She can reach me if she wanted to, but she doesn't try and as a rule ignores my calls even about family matters. I know she has physically abused her pets because she's proudly admitted it. It wasn't until recently that I found out she spent a part of her time beating our younger relative in his early years. Devastating. I don't know if anyone knows. I found out she is pregnant. I can't explain the pain I feel or why I feel it. I just know that child will go through a life of misery and I don't understand why she'd do this to herself or her soon-to-be offspring. I'm heartbroken. I don't know if I've ever felt this low.

This girl was adopted out of foster care at age 5. She is now 26.

So I'm 16 and I love my dad a lot but he moved to a state that I don't wanna live in so he gave me the option to go live with my sister across the country. It took many weeks but I made up my mind and I decided I want to go live with my sister. Me and my dad talked and he was very open and said he understands my decision and we talked about how we would still call each other and check up and how I can visit anytime I want. Me and my dad have a very strong relationship and my dad is a tough guy but now he's really emotional and went to bed early and didn't talk much and moped around and I just felt really bad because I made him feel this way. I now almost feel like I made the wrong decision but it's to late now as the plane tickets already bought and I'm leaving in less than a week. What do I do? He also moved in with my grandmother and her and I don't get along great.

Please help

I'm fifteen and my sister is eleven. My mom has always loved her more than me and don't try to tell me that it's just the way parents treat younger children because it's definitely not fair and even my friends say that even their younger siblings don't get away with half of the things that my sister Aubrey does. Here's a list of everything she does: hardly ever bathes and has to be forced into the shower, never brushes her teeth and have costed my parents lots of money for cavities, is very lazy doesn't turn off lights or close any doors even the front door when she comes home from school, she's incredibly rude to me and all of her friends I've seen her make her friends cry before and Aubreys even been sent to the principals office for bullying kindergarteners, she's done other things such as chase me across a parking lot and tearing a chunk of my hair out where I still have a small tuft in the front that hasn't grown back, she never does her homework and gets horrible grades and doesn't even care about her education at all. And my mom doesn't and didn't do anything about any of those things.  I try so hard to be better than my sister. I do all my chores and clean up after myself. I dress nice, I get straight As and have very big ambitions. I'm going to precollege this summer at two different art universities that I've gotten accepted into. But my moms not proud of me at all. She didn't even want me to go. She loves my sister more than me and it doesn't make sense.

There's this guy I know, he has a sad story behind, he was so poor and neglected as a child/ teenager that he has been selling drugs (does that even now) and some say (but I'm not sure if I should believe it) even himself, even with men. A friend of his told me he is hetero and not gay at all, he just did that cause as a teenager he was alone after his moms suicide and his stepfather abused him. It's just so sad that it makes me cry and want to hug him so tight... he's always in bars with bad people, and I just want to be with him but I am afraid of the places and the people he attends. Once he got mad because a guy in a bar approached me (I went there to look for him) and almost fought with him. Do you think he feels something for me? At least some kind of friendship or liking thing? I wish I could hold him in my arms and give him all the love he missed. I just want everything of him, I want to save him, I dont care if he went with men for money.
