Question: How to convince my backwards Serbian mom that I need a new phone? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 01:13 PM PST I have an iPhone 6s. It's slow, shuts down often, the battery is shitty, and it's super cracked I can't see anything. But whatever I say she won't change her mind. What do I do? Don' troll me. I need help with the woman *this |
Question: Cousin Asking Questions? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 12:34 PM PST I have a cousin in 8th grade and I'm in 11th. We are very close and are very comfortable. The other day, he asked me if he could compare his penis to mine to see how he sizes up. He has also been asking about how he should groom his pubic hair. Is it ok for me to show him? And what should I tell him about the pubic hair? |
Question: How to deal with frustrating in laws? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 12:27 PM PST My husband cant stand his sister and neither can I. After her treating us both like crap for years. He decided he didnt want to see or talk to her anymore. His parents called him last night and said he has to keep coming to family night and that he has to talk to her and just accept her attitude because shes not goona change. Everytime we see her she causes a ton of drama and likes to insert herself into our business. The last time my husband went over for family night his sister told him how he needed to come to their parents house more often and spend more time with his family and not spend as much time with me and my family. I dont know how to handle having in laws who still tell my 26 year old husband what to do and what to do about having a sister in law who goes out of her way to constantly cause problems. Neither of us want to see his sister anymore but we dont know how to go about Holidays and this new "family night." |
Question: Is the younger child the favourite ? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 12:10 PM PST Everyone likes my sister more than me. My younger sister is always the favourite, she's never worked hard for anything and just gets everything handed to her on a plate!!I went to uni and did my masters and she didn't even finish college and she's getting paid more than me! She owns her own house, is married with a family and I'm divorced and feel I've had the rough deal! She keeps trying to be nice to me but I want to cut her out of my life she's two faced! How can I get the rest of the family to like me more? My parents say they always treated us the same but I feel she had it easier, she however says she got my hand me downs and always felt they liked me more. I'm really annoyed! |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 11:26 AM PST Last week on November 13, my bf and I were sleep (been together for almost two years) when the police banged on the door saying they had a warrant out for his arrest, they arrested him and wouldn't give him a bond and has to go to court December 3rd to see if he has a bond. She accused him of giving her daughter Oral on the couch last year but him and I had just met and were literally ALWAYS around each other everyday. The three times he had all of her children (one is his), I was always with him and they two girls and boy. She is a manipulator and hacked my phone last week and texted him saying "outsmarted your *** again" and she has been jealous of him moving on to someone who makes him happy. He divorced her because she was a lazy wife and belittled him very often because she has a degree and he does not so he left her. I know he would never sexually abuse that girl. Two months ago the little girl was caught trying to insert her brother penis in her and trying to get her 6 years sister to take her pants off. She had also been caught watching porn multiple times bc the mom buys them laptops tablets and they have their own cellphones. My bf has now been in jail 5 days with no bond and all she has is her word and her daughter saying this at age 8 and had her draw a picture receiving oral on the couch. We have a lawyer, but any advice on how to go about things? I am beyond stressed and I believe I am pregnant which is even more stressful bc now I have to pay his bills as well |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 11:12 AM PST For example my sister threw a screaming fit last summer on vacation cause didn't get her own bathroom. She screamed enough and so my parents had me go share a room with my brother so my sister could have her own spot. They rewarded her screaming fit. She's 26 and not four. I'm a teen. She's normal functioning other then having ADHD. I consider her a narcissistic and a demon. |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 11:03 AM PST My Dad died in June and my mother didn't even let me see him on his last Christmas last year. I feel I'll forever hate her for this. I'm 17 right now, high school senior. My folks split when I was six. |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 10:52 AM PST My Mom's sister is narcissistic and it spread and infested others with bitterness towards her and became a family disease. It led to my mother being the only one to take care of her dying mother. |
Question: Why do my parents think they own me? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 10:34 AM PST This is making me sick. Since i was like 9 years old, my parents have shouted and hit me sometimes, if they say im not doing any work in the house. Now 15, when my mom comes she looks if the dishwasher is empty, the living room is clean (my parents eat and put plates there without washing them) If she sees that i've not done anything, she will go mad, and tell my dad, who will also be mad, and tell me to turn my 'shitty' PS4 off, and he says im on it all the time, but whenever i say that he is on the TV for hours, and that is the same as playing games, he just tells me to shut up, and mind my own business. Im not allowed to confront then about anything. Also i started working out and eating very healthy at the moment, they become mad at me, because they think that it's not good for a 15 year old boy to avoid sweets and sodas. They don't allow me to have the teen life i want. My dad won't even let me quit my own underpaid job. I can't do anything, without them being ******* mad. Even tho, i clean the whole house when they're not home, witch can take an hour, they still shout at me saying "You think this is a hotel? You're not doing anything here!" |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 08:53 AM PST For example, when I was in junior high school, I attended a public school where the amount that students paid for lunch in the cafeteria, depended on how much money their parents make. The price was either 75 cents, 25 cents, or free. I paid 75 cents. At the time I was attending that school, my mother told me the reason I pay 75 cents is because she makes good money, to which she informed me to not tell my classmates who pay less, because that would be tacky and disrespectful. When I reminisced about this just the other day, and that the school application asked my mother her income so they can determine what I will pay for lunch, my mother yelled at me "I never said that!!!" and that there was no such question on the school application. She then said that I probably paid the default (75 cents) because she never expressed dismay, "Why should my son have to pay that?", to which the school would've told her gave her options based on her income. But I distinctly remember she told me the reason I pay 75 cents. This is very alarming, because not only does she not remember, but she reacted as if I told her she was an accomplice to 9-11. Sometimes I'm afraid to talk to my mother, especially if I say "I remember you said [such n such], because she gets all touchy and yells at me. Other times, she yells at me when I say something simple like "I just saw this movie. It's really good." She'll roll her eyes and respond "I don't know!" like I was nagging her with questions. Is it possible she's showing signs of mild dementia? This is very frustrating, because I have a photographic memory. And my mom knows I have this gift. But when she forgets, she never thinks to herself, "Hmmm... I'm over 60 and my son has a photographic memory. Maybe I did forget." Instead she treats me like a knuckle-headed child, "You don't listen!!" 😞 |
Question: Should I stop contact with my mom? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 07:18 AM PST i am so lost right now I just need some advice. I have problems with my mom, I never felt like she stood up for me. The reasons why I say this is because I was beat up by a babysitter when I was 2 and she never did or say anything to the lady or even report it. When I was 6 I started getting molested by my dad's friend's kid. I told her about and all she said was he is just a kid and it didnt count and when I bring it up now its like she sticks up for him and tells me his mother died and he had a hard life. There's a number of other things she did that hurt me and honestly its so hard for me to trust and believe people because she acts as if she didn't know I was getting beat up as a kid, being molested, and anything tht she did wrong when she knows. she never took accountability of what she let happened to me and it just hurts and everytime I try to talk to her about it she tells me to stop blaming people which I understand but i'm really just want to work things out with her but I don't think I can get past this if she keeps lying to me .. What do yall think? what would yall do? thank you |
Question: What’s the best way to deal with a narcissistic family member.? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 07:09 AM PST I have a sister who is a narcissist as does my mom. We seldom see my mom sister but I'm stuck seeing mine about once a month due to family obligations. |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 07:08 AM PST I feel really disappointed especially since he still skiing though with somebody else. I'm going to be especially disappointed that we can February what our trip would've been. This is the third time he's done this. Next time obviously I won't believe him. He has known for chronic lies which is part of why my mom divorced him long ago. |
Question: How do I deal with both my parents passing away? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 06:59 AM PST I'm 25 and lost both my parents 5 weeks ago in a motorcycle accident. I was not there for the crash but they were both on the same bike on the highway when a car didn't see them and side swiped them off the highway. I'm still numb but it's becoming more real as the days progress. I'm going to fail this semester of Uni and I can't work right now because I'm not doing well. I need help I think. |
Posted: 18 Nov 2019 06:43 AM PST last year i tried killing myself and it cost my parents a lot of money to help me get better but it seems after that happened i've had the worst luck ever and my parents pulled me out of public school so didnt have to be around the people wo caused me to become so depressed and a few days ago my dad got mad at me because i was talking to someone who used to go to my old school, at work, and now he's saying things like my mom takes meds bc of me and he shouldve 'sold me down the river' last year because of me trying to kill myself and he said if he lets me go back to work i'll have to pay him for all the money this private school is costing him and mom and i mean i get why he's mad but he said some hurtful things and i just don't get he won't listen to what i have to say i can barely get a word in edgewise and he called me all sorts of names and im just confused about what i should even do wtiht myself |
Question: How to politely get out of playing with children at family get-togethers? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 04:26 AM PST I'm 29 and my husband and I have been married for about five years. She comes from a large family if I have children, and now there are several nieces and nephews in the mix as well. They range in age from 6 to infant. My husband and I have never wanted children of our own, but he can interact with kids and play with them. Kids love him. I just plain don't care for kids. I don't like them and didn't even when I was one. The last few years I have dreaded the holidays because every time we go, the kids immediately start asking for piggyback rides and to come play with doll houses, Legos etc. If they were attention starved, I could have some sympathy...but they're actual brats. I don't like playing kid games at all and I really hate that you can't say no without the adults in the room looking and acting like you're an awful person. It doesn't help that they're probably already annoyed I don't go to the kid birthdays and school stuff...but I never wanted to be an involved aunt. I'm fully ready to just say no nicely and deal with the glares this year because I'm tired of it. But is there a polite way to go about it? |
Question: Why would they do this ? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 01:38 AM PST I reached out to the family of the father who neglected me on Facebook. I told them everything that happened between us and basically asked them to talk to him. They never replied. Next thing you know, they posted several pictures of my father with his new Benz and were bragging about how successful he is. Why would they do this after I said he neglected me? |
Question: My sister never wants to leave my house. What would you do ? Posted: 18 Nov 2019 01:25 AM PST We are around the same age 34/35. She's single. I'm married. Love her to death but she doesn't understand the meaning of boundaries. She is over my house 5 days out of the week. As soon as she gets off work she comes over my house and stays over for hours. She said she hates her apartment and is in love with my house. She said her apartment is too noisy cramped and it kills her mood. She said it feels heavenly when she's over my house. I worked hard to attain this house though. 10 years in school to try to be a doctor. Me and my husband are both doctors. It's how we afford our lifestyle. My sister just does her own thing working in retail. It's not my fault she though school was pointless now she's stuck in a crappy apartment. My sister comes over my house uses my kitchen all the time to cook these huge meals. I mean I give her credit cause she does cook for me and my husband but dang it's like she is always here and we never get privacy just us too. A lot of times she's on my couch using my tv as well. She said we have the perfect house. I told her get a better job position you can get one too. She rolled her eyes at me. I don't want to be mean but what should I do. |
Question: Can I safely assume this? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 11:58 PM PST I am in my 20's and my mom used to have a picture of me on her keychain. In her room, she has no real pictures of me at all. All of her pictures are of my two brothers - one who is only 2 years younger than me and one who is 18 years old. It is so bizarre because she only has two pictures of me up and they are with me and my family. She has none of me alone. She has at least about 50 pictures up of only my brothers. We do talk and I am not a bad person at all. I'm very good, smart, kind, and pretty. I always was a good child when I was young. Can I safely assume she doesn't like me? |
Question: 89 year old grandma? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 11:11 PM PST I went to visit my grandma and took her some tacos but before I asked if she needed anything else she said to pick up some medication for my uncle and I did(his pharmacy is located inside a grocery store so I took advantage and bought some groceries he suffers from paranoia schizophrenia) I told her to ask uncle if he wanted food and said no. I got to grandmas house and we ate together. My uncle said he wanted a big grape juice so i went back to the store and got it for him. He then said he was hungry. At this point its already late and I have to get home to my kids so I offered to cook him something before leaving or make him a tuna salad(something quick) he refused and I told my grandma that I needed to leave cause of the kids. She starts crying and tells me to leave that she will drive to get him food. She cant drive so I told her to calm down I will go get him the food. I've asked her to come live with me but she doesnt like the kids cause they are loud. I love my grandma but what should I do? I don't want to stop visiting her. |

Question: How to handle a creepy child? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 09:52 PM PST So my little sister was in my room, idk what she was looking for, but found my condoms and lube, she asked me what they were, I kicked her out and she looked it up on her phone. Now she teases me, wearing skimpy clothes (swimwear in this cold weather), and jokes with me, but she's fricking ten years old, little witch is upsetting me. |
Question: What would you do as a priest? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 08:44 PM PST If you were the Bishop or the Priest at the Episcopal church... And you asked me where I believe that my dad went to and what is happening to him.. And I were to tell you... That my dad is in he'll. Inside a little cube that looks like the ghetto in Philadelphia where he kept his family.. And his soul is a 5 year old kid who has Asperger Syndrome... And his dad is a goblin who looks like his dad..who is a bar tender in the 1990s for $3 an hour who can't afford to leave Philadelphia and is an alcoholic and physically abusive to him. There are 3 stages of punishment that my dad, the 5 year old with Asperger goes through.. 1st he goes to Wordsworth Academy.. Where he does 2+2 =4 for six hours. 2nd, he comes home and Gets hit with a belt and punched and kicked by his dad, the ghoul that looks like his dad. 3rd... He gets called a RETARD and has rocks thrown at him by 16 year old Irish street thugs... Each rock takes off a chunk of him until only his head is left... His head gets PTSD.. Then he dies, then he comes back to life again as a 5 year old with Asperger syndrome and a deadbeat, abusive dad.. And the cycle renews itself. |
Question: I was wondering how I can sneak out of my house without getting caught.? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 08:27 PM PST My house is one story and my room room is literally right next to my parents room and my doors are glass. Sometimes my parents won't go to sleep till past midnight. So I don't know what to do?? I don't have a friend that would be able to sneak me out since they have security systems. So, what should/can I do? |
Question: Is it me or is my mom overbearing? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 08:17 PM PST I'm 37 years old, & since I was a kid she(my mom) had a tight leash on me (maybe because I'm the oldest I don't know). When I finally decided to move out at the age of 20 she complained about my apartment. After moving back in and then moving out at the age of 32 I thought I was free from her rules. She then starting to put folks out of my old apartment and no one wanted to be my friend. After living with me for a year a 3 1/2 year relationship that I had it's now gone. He went to work one day and never came back. Now that I want to move from where I'm at into a three bedroom apartment so I can Foster or adopt kid's she told me if I do then she'll leave and some more hurtful things. But she's not like that with my sister, so why do she feel like she can constantly run my life even when I stand up to her? Keep in mind when I was living with her I had people tell me how they don't want to be bother with me anymore because of my mom. Now my ex is saying the same thing but she gets mad when I speak up *My mom lives with me and if it was so easy to deal with her then I will not be asking what to do* |
Posted: 17 Nov 2019 07:55 PM PST My issue is I have a son & daughter. My dad always taught me & my brothers hitting women is wrong but since I was 10 years older than my sister I knew I had to toughing her up a lil bit like rough play & wrestling. As a parent I struggle to try and have my son understand the very confusing concept. My kids are only 3 & 2 but I still don't know when or how to teach 2 different and semi conflicting lessons. Any ideas? |
Posted: 17 Nov 2019 04:07 PM PST My father is 70 years old, is a narcissist, and is thoroughly addicted to prescription opioids. My mother is 62 and is extremely controlling when it comes to the lives of me or my sister. I am 41 years old, have a 40 year old husband, and a 14 year old daughter. My father uses guilt as a tactic for getting his way. That and explosive anger and threats. He physically, verbally, and emotionally abused me, my sister and my mother. He still hits my mother and the explosive anger and emptional/verbal abuse is still with all three of us as well. He has threatened to gain more visitation with my daughter (which is limited due to his behavior and opioid addicition) by hiring a lawyer and invoking his grandparent rights although he has no legal way to do this. My mother has always subtly manipulated me although I didn't know it until very recently. My question is, with their exploding anger, guilt, manipulation, how do I peacefully tell them I'm moving? My dad has recently told my mother that he is about to die and that she's the cause of it and he hopes she feels very guilty for the rest of her life for it. He says this to her when she only disagrees with him and if he says it to me when I tell him I'm moving, I dont even know how to respond. I tried to set boundaries last year but he just looked at me and said that this family has no boundaries. My mom will cry & carry on and be dramatic. I know it is a sad thing but it is always an awesome thing. And I am kind of relieved. |
Question: My family bullies me? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 04:02 PM PST My whole family gangs up on me. The things they say and do to me really hurts. They tell me I'm ugly, weird, annoying, to kill myself, that I have no reason to live, that I haven't done anything with my life, that I'm a waste of space. They push me, hit me, choke me. I don't know why they hate me so much. I don't know what to do. No one will help me. I'm thinking about taking my life. I can't take the bullying anymore. It doesn't seem like there's anything else I can do. |
Question: How can I tolerate my mom? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 03:02 PM PST I am currently a second year in college and I live with my mom. Usually, kids would be very grateful to have a place to live but to be honest for me sometimes I wish I lived on the streets. My mother is a loving mother but has a hard time showing it. She is someone that you would classify as someone with "tough love". She has nagged at me my entire life whenever I have not met her expectations, which was also a never. She would always compare me to other kids and how I will never be as successful as them. She would call me a fat pig and that no one would love if I am fat. She even tried to commit suicide in front of me to prove a point that I was a terrible daughter. I know my mom can be verbally abusive, but I live in a place where if you do not have an actual job it would be hard to live on your own. I also know that my mother is going through a lot of things after her separation from my dad. But sometimes I get so fed up with her complaining/nagging that I am not perfect, that I feel like committing suicide is the only way to get away from it. Thankfully I was able to go see a psychiatrist but I still have so much anger and when she nags at me or argues with me it is so mentally painful. I know she loves me and maybe I should be a better daughter...But in this situation how can I tolerate her and live in the same apartment as her. |
Question: Can I/Should I adopt her? Posted: 17 Nov 2019 02:42 PM PST I am a 25 year old single guy with a 15 year old niece Jill, my sister's daughter. Jill often comes to my house for help with her homework. If we finish her homework late she spends the night a my house and I take her to school the next morning. She told me she was a nervous wreck from her mom and dad fighting all the time and they were getting a divorce. She wanted to stay with me until the divorce was final. I told her that was OK with me but she needed her parents OK which I thought would not happen. However her parents thought it was best for her not to see them fighting all the time and agreed she could stay with me until there divorce was final. I was very surprised by their decision but I think they were thinking of what their fighting was doing to Jill. Jill moved in with me and has been living with me for 2 months. She is a very nice person and is no longer depressed. We have had a lot of fun time together going to school events and sporting events. Jill ask me if I would adopt her so she could stay with me permanently. I told her that I doubt if her parents would let that happen. I don't know if you can adopt someone that has living parents. Does anyone know if that can be done? Would a better solution be to just let her live with me as long as her parents are OK with it? |
