Without going too much into detail, my gf just turned 18 and is a senior in highschool. Her mom is a control freak to the literal book definition of it. She's also manipulative. So she wants out and I said she can live with me. However, we know her mom is gonna flip out the second she finds out (she's out of town for the weekend, thankfully). She'll threaten her. Yell names. She's terrified of her and what she could possibly do, as am I. She could show up at our door and do who knows what. It's a crappy situation to be in. I'm just looking for advice. And potentially some motivation as we are both pretty scared as to what she will do and how she'll react. Thank you!

I'm in my 40s, the niece is in 50's and my mom is in 60's. We recently had a family trip with everyone, aunts, uncles, cousins. But overheard my mom and stepdad were planning a trip with his side of family, the niece included but not me. When I asked my mom about it, she said her and step dad were going alone, then said they were taking his small grandkids to see Christmas lights on trip. I asked why niece included and not me and she denied everything and didn't know what I'm talking about. And got mad at me. Now she seems to be avoiding me and her and niece are clingy to each other.

We had a crazy member in the family; my great-aunt. She didn't get along with her son's girlfriend nor her daughters' husbands. She tampered their foods once, making them sick for a couple days. She didn't like neither of her children's partners/spouses to the point of doing that. If your mother did that, what would you do?

My mom makes me cover the camera on my laptop.. and I really want to use it to record and take pictures... She said as long as you are in my house you're not uncovering it... How to convince her?

Ever since I remember my parents have always argued. All the time I've never seen my parents hug kiss or say I love you and I sleepy in between them until I was 11 and now my brother sleeps in between them. They are always arguing and being rude to each other and to me and my brother. I feel like my parents have never loved each other. Do they hate each other? My mom always tells me marriage is bad and never to get married because it's for nothing I don't know and my dad asks for women on Facebook for pictures of them in underwear he doesn't know that I know that but it makes me feel so uncomfortable And my mom knows about it now she found out the other day and she doesn't do anything about it. My parents have been married for 24 years they had me 4 years after they were married. 

I'm not permitted to use the car anyway, so I'm not losing out on anything. She takes me to school and that's about it.

So this happened while trick or treating...ok so all the houses before this lady , let us just picked out whatever she wanted( few pieces) ..then we get to this lady and she hands my daughter one piece but at the same time my daughter goes for the bucket for a couple pieces but she grabs her arm with a nasty attitude and said no..i know my daughter shouldn't have grabbed more but she has impulses and doesnt think and since the others let kids grabbed whatever i think she thought it was ok.? Well this happened so fast i couldn't stop her on time but i said no Erica, just one and we left..i explained to her only take them if they let you...well this lady was just rude i thought cus she grabbed my child and had a rude attitude..i had a bad feeling about her when we walked up. 

I asked my son about his sexuality and he said he's straight. I know that is a flat out lie. I know that he's secretly gay. He's 20 and never had a girlfriend before or ever had a girl over. He also never expressed any interests in girls. This is extremely concerning.

My sister for example wrote a 20 page letter attacking me and others in the family. My mother never checked on me she just sympathizes with my sister because of the chain of favoritism that has passed down. My other sister makes a mountain out of a mole hill and gets people worked up over nothing despite her failing to properly discipline her children and allowing her children to have control over her. My father enables the evil of my one sisters and believes the tales of my other sister gives him. A brother had sex outside of wedlock with a woman. He was not married to her yet but they later had to get married for money reasons and the marriage failed and those sins have hurt their two children. One of the church children now carries the sense them self. Evil manifest itself in our families and mine and it works in hidden places. I have a nephew I tried to protect from it but he too is been sucked into the evil by his mom and my other sister. How do I break the chain of evil that has manifested upon my family of origin.

I'm a woman and let me tell you that I so much rather have a son instead of a daughter. Most young girls are extremely emotional, dramatic and always have 'boy problems'. Boys are so much easier to handle. They don't give you as much crap. My experience: being around females my entire life!

August 2019, thinking he was terrorizing his younger girlfriend (of 14 fewer years, she 24), I go to bail her out from jail.  Not surprisingly she refused.  I am thinking my brother had her so shaken she would remain incarcerated until he says ok.  They, I believed were threatening a former employer at his home who had no money to pay after a failed fishing summer.  Truth is, she suffered a panic attack and they really were hiding in a stranger's home to become felony charged. This woman and I feel right for each other.  We have been instant friends since we met two years earlier.   My brother can not hold a job.  He is a traveling homeless man who has now had her in tow with him three and a half years.   Last year's December she spent a night with an ex hookup.  He has been violent and mean with her ever since.  He tells her "you are evil.  You monkey branching whore."  Having no place better and safer she has not left him.  During mid May they come to stay with me in my owned home for the summer.  My brother said he needed to have a stable home for him to be able to earn and save money.  I like good company. I also really wanted to help my brother and his hopeful wife be better future parents.  Well, he did not find gainful anything.  Her and I became closer as I tryed to heal them.   Now she says she wants me.  I really like her.  My brother is a nasty worthless ****** to her, an unemployed bully.  She is a cutter.   I am crazy too.  Help.  We could be a match. Maybe not.

Everytime I'm doing my makeup in the mirror they come and be like "I hate you you're so talented" and start with the aggravating comments like why I don't do there's just as good I need answers 

this girl in my class is moving because she said her dads job is required to move. she moved here six years ago because of her dad's job and now she's moving again. What type of job could her dad have that requires them to move so much that's not in like the army or anything like that.

I'm now the only girl in the house, my mom and sister moved into apartments so my brother, dad, his roommate and I live together, I'm 17 years old. He never seemed that annoyed with me as often as he does now, everytime I open my mouth he huffs or makes an annoyed face. Its not like I talk a lot either, I talk to him 5 minutes a day at most, I'm constantly working on school, training my pets, volunteering at a small animal shelter, or at work, I'm a straight A student who has taken 8 college courses in my highschool career and am planning on majoring in biology. Seasonally I do different things also, in the fall time I'm always doing a musical and in the spring I'm in track. He has much more tolerance when it comes to my brother (14). if I do one thing wrong or ask for a simple favor (like giving me a ride) he storms out. My brother asks him stuff all the time and this never happens when he does so, if my dad doesnt want to do something he asks he just reasonably explains why he doesnt want to or can't. My brother's room is an absolute mess, I mean knee high, my dad let that slip for a couple years before getting mad. My room has always been very organized and neat but this week I've been very sick and havent done the laundry or throw away my water bottles. I asked him to check my room because I noticed it was a lot colder than every other room in the house and he saw some bottles on my bed and started throwing them everywhere saying I was living in filth. 

I used to see this aunt a lot. Now that she insults her parents and estranged sister so much I distance myself from her. I am going to be with her next week one afternoon. I only once have visited her where she has not spent a good portion of the visit discussing her animosity towards her parents and sister (another aunt). She goes into this deep psychological talk of things like her mother committing covert incest with the favored daughter (my other aunt). Covert incest apparently means psychological incest, not anything sexual. She discusses her sister's lies, her mother enabling her sister, her father having no balls to stick up for her, my mother having no guts to stick up for her, the generational wounds inflicted on her and her daughter, and among other stuff the sins of the father being passed down and how she will stop it. By sins of her father she means nothing religious but simply bad habits. Oh and she hates her sister's husband with a burning passion for not sticking up for her and the nephew bullied by her sister. This other sister she hates has parenting flaws where she worships her daughters and hates her one son cause he made mistakes as a teen. This aunt I am seeing is extra nice to that nephew since his mother hates him. She feels the step-father, her brother in law, should stand up for his step-son. I have no opinion. The step-son lives with that aunt;s ex-husband, his father. I know it is lots of names but how do I pivot when aunty starts in about her hatred of her parents? They are my grandparents so obviously I like them and feel terribly uncomfortable hearing anything negative about them.  Aunt's daughter will be with us and her daughter has Asperger's so gets obsessed on the topic as well since it is the only thing her mother discusses. The daughter is 22 and lives with her mother. 

In 1987, my parents had premarital sex. My mom got pregnant and so they had an abortion. A few yrs later they became Christians and got married. They had my oldest sister, 26, my middle sister, 22, and me, 17. We are all also Christian.  I know about the 1987 part because my dad told me when I was 13. He asked to keep it private, because it is his biggest regret as well as my mothers. I agreed. I was talking with my two sisters today, which I don't do a lot. I was showing them pics of my friend's newborn. My friend is the same age as me, but plans on marrying her son's dad when they're adults. My sisters eventually started calling my friend a slut, easy, irresponsible and a bunch of other names. They also attacked the baby, calling him a "bastard" who shouldn't be celebrated. I told them that my friend has prayed for forgiveness and to not blame a baby, but they overrode me. In a fit of rage I blurted out that our parents had had sex outside of marriage and had an abortion on top of it way back in 1987. I said this to show that everyone makes mistakes, but I instantly regretted it afterwards. My sisters, shocked and speechless, left. I walked home and when I got there my parents scolded me for three hours. I feel horrible about all of it. My mom is mad at my dad for telling me, she's mad at me. My dad is mad at me for breaking his trust and telling. My sisters are mad at all three of us. But at the same time I don't see how I did anything wrong. So, am I in the wrong?

I have school tomorrow and since it's Halloween and I want to stay up late with my friends and my brother. Unfortunately, I can't because my parents are going to make me go to school tommorow. I have no missing assignments and I can catch up fairly quickly. I'm thinking about staying up really late to seem super tired and out of it and fake fatigue so my mom keeps me home. Should I follow through?

I overheard my 15 year old son on the phone with another guy and they didn't sound like they were having a friend to friend conversation. I'm thinking of canceling his phone service until he shows me his phone and all his messages/history.

Now before I start I know I'm fully responsible for how things have gotten so far, it's my fault.  I'm 30, never had a job though I'm in the process of getting one right now. My family says they want the best for me blah blah blah I'm free to do whatever but I feel like my mother is chaining me down , like she will seriously get upset if my room isn't clean or if my bed isn't made , she will start screaming. To top it off I met a girl online and I'm gonna meet her after a while , I have no money to meet her and shes fully aware of my situation and giving me time. I feel helpless and scared and have no one to talk to about any of this.  I'm about to just stand up for myself and leave if only for a while. I still feel like a child that relies on her for everything and it's making me sick to my stomach. I can't eat, hardly sleep and i have a job coming so that's stressing me out also.  I have no idea what to do..    

My parents have caught me watching porn a few times and I'm a teen. It's been really awkward with my dad since he saw that I have a larger penis than his. My mom tries to catch me watching porn whenever she can and she obnoxiously tells me father. My life has been really uncomfortable and family life is disturbed. I don't know what to do and how to solve this issue. Please help me 

She left my daddy six years ago and that was wrong. Captain Lemmy : I am going to be a 12 year old and break it up, I am determined !!!

It's the first time, she's going really really soon. She's like leaving in a few minutes. Earlier we were both bawling our eyes out after I came back from trick or treating which I really regret when I could've been spending It with her. Btw, I'm really sorry. I know i'm really soft as people have had their parents away from them for weeks and months and some have not seen them every again which is why i'm really guilty that I feel this way. But, we have been away from her, leaving her in the house. But this time me and my dad are gonna be left at the house and my dad is kinda irresponsible and immature. For some reason i'm really scared and upset this time. I'm used to seeing her when I get home from school but now it's just gonna be me and my cat for 3 hours because my dad Is at work. I'm really young and i'm a bit scared to be left alone for this long, it's the first time I've been home alone for this long. I'm worried for my mom too since she's going to a really busy place and I don't want her to get In danger. I'm sorry that i'm so sensitive I just want some advice on what to do. sorry. be a jerk to me all you like. I know i'm soft and making a big deal out of this I just can't help it. just give me advice me and my dad don't get along well. sadly my dad doesn't want me to be calling my mom understandably because she's all the way in another country and it will cost me a lot of money. I feel like i'm gonna be getting a lot of panic attacks and my dad doesn't really understand my anxiety. but thank you so much for the helpful answers <3 she just left. tysm. i'm going to shut up now because I know im being a baby. 

My mother has never worked a day in her life and is going through divorce. I haven't seen her in a year. However yesterday she 'stole' $3000 from my school funding account (We had a partner account), $5000 from my dad and now we are homeless. Help? Edit: she was an extremely nice mother towards me. I don't know what has come over her. And by homeless I mean living in someone else's house for the time being
