I'm trying to get out of this stupid marriage I'm in. My parents especially my dad was saying he'd help me get a job (but haven't heard nothing back nothing yet about a job he just talks about he wishes I had a life like his) & he more worried about my little sister than anything that him & my stepmom put through college but they could never help me. My mom and her "pastor husband" I feel are fake because she could've easily said hey just come stay with us until you find your own place. She said it but put a 2 month time limit on me. She knows I'm trying to finish college & take care of my son. I know they don't really care. Do you think I'm wrong for feeling this way?

This man is the most disgusting, sexist, racist, homophobic person I have ever met. He's an alcoholic and he smears his own poop across the toilet seat and hugs the TV. He pays no bills and hasn't bothered looking for another place to live in the four months he's been here. His son, my mom's boyfriend, let this man move in behind her back. This man has sexual harassed my mom in the past and he let him move in knowing he has. He's turned his own son into an alcoholic as well and both of them are now being petty and spiteful. My mom's boyfriend is using scare tactics to try and get his way, then saying he didn't do it when everyone in the house was there to see it. Now mind you the house is in my mom's name but her boyfriend is telling her he'll do whatever he wants with it even when she tells him no and for her to get over it. Before his father moved in he wasn't like this, his father is constantly trying to cause fights like a teenage bully. How do I get this man who is 60 years old with a job that pays 20 an hour who can afford his own home out of our house?

Hello. My grandmother fell and it was really bad she had to have surgery on her knee and hip. She was prescribed morphine and oxycodone (percacet) I've known many people who were addicted to opiates and even have been addicted myself but got clean. I know exactly what it can do to a person. So I was really worried when I found out she was using these. I was also mad because she knew what it put me through, and even her sister and nephew who were and still are REALLY bad on it. The problem is she doesn't think she is addicted. I however KNOW she is addicted. She's been on them for about a year now so there is no way she isn't physically dependent on them. She's also changing a lot. Shes not supposed to be walking around a lot but refuses to sit down she's constantly doing dishes walking up and down steps doing laundry etc. Even walking to the store by herself! When she's not on them she lays down and sleeps and is really quiet but when she is I can tell without even being told she is because she's up and doing all kinds of stuff, talks for HOURS, talks about how itchy she is, makes comments like "oh, my pain pill is kicking in" and so much more. But she thinks that because the doctor prescribed them that it's okay and she's not addicted. She's also losing her mind it seems but too much to type. What do I do and how do I address this?

I told my parents that my I wanted a divorce bc I married young and quick and didnt realize that my wife would be so abusive. I dont think she's a bad person but she has issues that she tends to take out on me.  When I told them this, it was after months of already blaming myself for her behavior and 2nd guessing if I deserved her treatment or not. I just wanted them to support me in my decision to divorce at 20y.o.  Instead they made a huge issue out of it and said i wasnt being man enough and that I wasnt a real man not to try harder to work through our problems and make it work. This is after I insured months of abuse in silence with those same thoughts. She always has some excuses like I did something and she got angry. Some false apologies and then finishes with "...but you did...". I'm over the relationship and just want out. She's refusing to sign so I just moved out of my apartment. Every now and again my parents and siblings claim to support me but then go back to judging or 2nd guessing my decision bc as a man, "a girl hitting you shouldn't provoke this dramatic of a decision".  Its ruining our relationship and everytime I think we've moved past it and they support me, and I try to reach out. It gets dredged up again "you have to work harder not to upset her so much" etc. Im not spoiled. As my parents I don't expect them to act like the world revolves around me and I've never done anything wrong, I have. They blatantly choose to assume that it's my fault.

they still push nne on a stroller even though inn 17 and 5ft11. how do i convince thenn to treat nne like an adult?

im 48 and my mom still bathes me. what can i do? i don't have money to move out, and there's nobody who wants to let me live with them.

my dad always really short short shorts! like when we go to the mall or go to church. everybody stares at him and points fingers at him and laughs. he thinks it's cool, but i am embarrassed to death! sometimes he also wears a shirt that says best dad ever, and its so creepy! he's also really fat and he's 55, so it's even more creepy when he does that.how do i convince him to wear longer shorts?

My daughter is graduating from high school. She took a multiple choice test in one of her classes. After she got her grade we were reviewing the test and found one of the questions with NO correct answer. If that question were not in the test, her grade for the course would be high enough that she may have qualified for a college scholarship. We went to the school to ask that she get a new grade on the test after throwing out the question that did not have a correct answer. Both the teacher and the principal refused. They told us that once a grade is recorded, it can not be changed for ANY reason. We are considering our options. We are talking about a LOT OF SCHOLARSHIP MONEY riding on the outcome of this. Here are some of the things we are thinking about. Post the whole story on YOUTUBE and hope it will go viral and change the schools mind about changing the grade. OR Contacting the local newspaper and TV stations to see if they will give this some publicity. OR Contacting other parents whose children may have been victims of the same test. OR Suing the school board. Any advice on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated.

The true meaning of Christmas and Thanksgiving is not gifts and giving but family dysfunction. I'm wondering this holiday season how I can celebrate family dysfunction? Below are some of the things I'll be celebrating and please give me ideas of how to celebrate it. My dad denies that he is an alcoholic and says that my sister is a little ***** for accusing him falsely. My sister will no longer come to family celebrations and she uses her son as a pawn to get our dad to go sober and that's her son misses out on being in the family. My mom is on her fourth marriage. She's been engaged to other times and she has borderline personality disorder. She says she's attempted suicide numerous times but we're not sure if that's true. She disowned me for a time as a kid and then says that my grandmother snatched me from her when actually she gave me to my grandmother. My cousin envy me because I'm my grandmothers golden one so they give me the cold shoulder. My brother is in jail on child pornography charges and both my parents vow never to speak to him again because he's gay. My other sister has a personality disorder of some kind that comes across as irrational rage, narcissism, and making false allegations. She claims various men raped her and it's always proven to be a false allegation. She's twice been sued for defamation of character and was arrested three times for falsifying police reports. In the extended family I have many things ranging from a murder suicide, to drug deaths and alcoholism, to two other suicides, to child sex abuse, to racism, to many estrangements and that's people we don't even know, to a relative being arrested for murder and is on death row in Texas, to many other things some of which I probably don't know about.  So how do I celebrate this family dysfunction this holiday season? I'll be seeing about 1/3 of my immediate family as well as an aunt.  On Christmas  though I'll be alone as I don't want to have the day wrecked by all this.  I'll probably visit my parents during the holiday season and maybe my siblings and a close aunt.  Please excuse any grammar errors as I'm talking into my phone. 

My child is 1 year old I have custody of him. Recently me and his father have had a major disagreement. I am keeping his dad at a distance because he drains me emotionally. Yesterday I allowed him to come over to see him.I even let my son stay up past his bed time. At the end of his visit he causes another disagreement. Because I'm still emotional about everything it's taking a toll on me. I feel his presence keeps me from being a great mom and that he is only acting as though he wants to be around to bother me. I don't want to push him away as his dad but I can't handle our engagement. What should I do?

Our daughter fell asleep in his arms. So I took her and was going to lay her up upstairs. I had some belonging in the living room so I asked our son to bring them up to me since I was holding her in my arms. Nothing else. He followed me and decided to stay on the bed with me on his iPad. Since it's a Friday night he is allowed the iPad and to stay up as long as he wants. I just went straight to sleep. I wake up around 12am to the sound of him talking to his dad in the stairway. and they come back together. He comes in and ask why did I force our son to stay up here with me. He said he asked me not to do that in the past. that when he asked his son said he felt like I wanted him to stay with me, he did not want to stay up here but he did. at no point in time did I force him but this is what came out. The kid was in the room while he said that. So I asked him to recount exactly what I said and if at any point in time I opened my mouth and told him to stay. he went to the bathroom and came back. I told him to stop putting words in our son's mouth. he said he likes to spend time with me downstairs and he asked and that's what he said. I got really upset because it felt as if I was holding him back from his dad. mind you when he is downstairs he is in the living room and our son in the family room. They don't do anything together. Each watch tv separately. Why would he make me and my son feel like I'm forcing him to stay away from his dad. He could have easily pulled me aside. 

The last one I had was all people 50 and older or little kids that have no choice. No one in their 20s 30s or 40s wanted to come. I am 32 and host a reunion every other year. Next summer I'll be up for one. 

My children and her children will not know each other and thus many generations down will know if the fight between the two of us. How do I handle my estrangement which will likely be permanent in a way that does not vibrate to future generations?

My grandma is 91 and over the last couple years her mental health has declined pretty significantly. For the last 6 months or so we have made sure that someone is visiting g her every day. But it is getting to the point where we think she either needs full time in home care, or needs to be in a nursing home. We can't imagine having to put her in a nursing home. My grandpa built her house himself 60 years ago and it is probably the thing she cherishes the most in the world and is most proud of. My mom has tried to get her assisted living for 3 days a week but she refuses to accept the help and gets angry ran them off. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this transitional phase from independent to assisted living with someone who is very resistant 

Andrew asked me what I would d if I faced this dilemma in life. A childhood spent fighting a never ending street war just because I walk down the street. A father who is the absolute head of the family because of circumstances and who is too damn stupid to get the hell out of Philadelphia, until it's far, far, far too late. After a childhood fighting... I gain total freedom from fighting bullies.. Because I become humanity's symbol of Militarism and hunting supremacy... The big 230 pound Adult Male. And I'm far too much for a bully to bite off, so all of a sudden... The war ends. Then after 12 years of extended reliance beyond 18... All of a sudden I get all these jobs and get my own stuff and have total reign on what to buy for my house... Basically the only limit I now have is that I can't commit crimes.... In truth that limit is sky high compared to anything I been used to. What would you do in this way overexciting situation... While also missing your dad ? I couldn't answer it. How should I answer it ?

I'm 17, junior in high school, and 2 months pregnant. My boyfriend is going to get a part-time job to pay all the expenses for the baby (diapers, formula, crib). My parents are going to let me live with them until I graduate high school. I'm either going to homeschool myself or go to a school for mothers with children. I'm planning to get a job and get my own place after I get my HS diploma.
