Me & my 2 cousins who are sisters used to be really close. Both of them have boyfriends but over the past family get togethers I have noticed that both of their boyfriends have been really close to each other, do everything together & all.  I'm not the only who had noticed at first I didn't say anything because I thought I was the only one until I told my mom about it & she said one of other aunts had said the same.. So one day I decided to address my cousin about this & left it at that  The next family get together her oldest sister didn't like me anymore  she would tell me things to try & put me down in a jokingly manner but I caught on to it.  The most recent get together I saw her alone with a few other girl cousins of mine  & I asked her where her boyfriend was since I always see them together..  she told me in a rude way to stop asking about him & another cousin told her to calm down because I was just asking..  I hope she didn't tell him what I said because also ever since I told them  My oldest cousins boyfriend has been really friendly towards me  I don't know what's going on..

My father was a bully growing up he was a bully that we would eat to much and he was spending to much on food, he would discourage me to go to college to help out pay bills. Despite all those hardships I managed to finish college and now that he asks me for help I am hesitate it's almost like I feel forced to, why would I help a bully? I try to keep my accomplishments on the down low because than he will ask for stuff. Is this mean or not?

My sister keeps picking on me saying I smell bad and leaving when I enter a room in the house. She told mom I don't bathe and until I take a bath she won't talk to me. Just because I have greasy skin she assumes I don't bathe. Once she even threw a bucket of water on me as a prank, laughed and walked away.

i am a 56 year old woman and my son is 16 years old and he is absolutely unbearable and crazy. he shoves me around hits me yells at me violently and is emotionally and physcially abusive. I always have to take the blame for his actions and do everything he says or he yells threatens or hurts me im sick of it who do i call  In response to the question asking what have i done to him. Nothing!!!! i sent him to private schools till elementary to get him a good start in life. Absolutely everyone says i over pampered him i carried him every where till he was 3 yeas old. i took an extra maternity leave im not even going to continue i have done so much. His brother is absolutely nothing like him!!!!!!

There is a fashion fad going on at my daughter's high school of the girls not wearing a bra. My daughter asked if she could join in. I told her NO HOW NOW WAY. She said what every teen tells there parents "All the girls are doing it". I still told her NO. I know how important it is for teens not to feel different but this fad is WAY OVER THE LINE. I called the school and asked if they had a student dress code. They told me they did but the required wearing of a bra was not in the dress code. When I asked WHY NOT, they told me they could not make a dress code requirement that applied to only girls. That would discriminate against the boys. Is this political correctness gone insane? Did I do the right thing by keeping my daughter from going to school without a bra? Parents (and teen age girls) please give me you input?

Right now I room with my younger 19 year old sibling because they never bothered to find a roommate because our parents promised I would move in with my sib.  I did not know about this until I had already had a job and apartment in another state lined up.  I found a different job locally and said I would stay another year with my sibling since our parents said I was destroying the family with my selfishness.  I am going to grad school once our lease is up and that would require me moving out of state and as well.  I told my sibling that I am moving out in 11 months and that they need to find a new roommate.  My family is saying I am putting myself before their well being.  I don't know how to get them to see that they are the selfish ones making me first turn down a dream job for a local industrial one and then acting as if 11 months is too short notice and that I shouldn't go back to school for the sake of my sibling not wanting to find a roommate. Is reasoning with them possible?

Btw I'm 18 which is and adult & When I came home my mom mentioned that she was looking for a tape measure while I was out, but instead she found my dildo in my drawer. she took a pic of it and showed it to me on her phone. She got angry and asked what it was and I said "what do you think it is". She then even got more pissed and asking things like were & when did I get it from and how much money did I spend on it I said to her "it doesn't matter". and now she's threatening to take away my credit cards and she may have shown the picture to my dad too. I need help!!!! 

So my sister (15) skips school and even goes the length to call herself off to be sneaky. She doesn't let my mother know she stays home either. I'm an 18yo and I see her do this every other day. I don't egg her on or try to make her go. I'm not a snitch so I leave it up to my mother finding out for herself. She's mad at me because she thinks I'm responsible. I disagree because I'm not her parent. She doesn't listen to me anyway none of my little sisters do. My mother doesn't try to discipline either of them the way she should. She lets them get away with everything. I think she should do better and stop blaming me for her mistakes when it has nothing to do with me.

So, I had previously asked if I should take my little brother away from our verbally abusive mother's household because 1) He desires to leave and 2) Mom has told him she doesn't want him and to go call Dad to tell him he's living with him. (FYI No custody cases involved) I told him if that was the case and if Dad said it was Oh'kay, I will take him withing the next two Fridays. Mom got mad all of a sudden when she heard the news (that I was definitely aiming to tell her myself but becay we have personal controversy, she won't pick up my calls or come out of the house) and doesn't want me to take him for unspecified reasons, but still tells him to go and other negative things. So today, I took him and now a detective called claiming that Mom reported him as "missing", knowing full well the details of where he's going. The detective said he doesn't want me to get into trouble and that he wants me to keep in touch and will have to intervene our travel to take him back. I don't want that and my little brother is crushed and upset because he doesn't want to go back either. Especially now that things will get worse for him at home when he returns.  I want to have my little brother call Mom to let her know he's fine and to drop the case and let him go. If I deny further cooperation with the detective, what is the "trouble" that will happen? What can I do? What are my options?

My mom was flipping out with a bitchy attitude and always likes to get physical so she hit my dad while his back was turned and walked away. Now normally my dad doesn't hit back but where she hit him really hurt so he raged and came running at her, my mom started begging me to protect her as she was behind me. I ripped her off of me and said that she got herself into that situation with her big mouth and she needs to learn the consequences of getting physical with someone than crying when they defend themselves. Am I in the wrong here or what I did was right?

I'm 17 years old, a junior in high school, and my mom has been acting super weird. Almost every time I talk to her, she accuses me of being drunk/on drugs due to "how I'm acting" even though I'm completely sober (and have been my whole life) and acting how I normally do. Sometimes, when I get home from school, I've found that she's gone through my room (things will be out of my place, drawers are open, etc.), and I consider this an invasion of privacy. A week ago, after coming home from seeing a movie w/ some friends, she seriously asked me "Did you do meth?" completely unprompted. Yesterday, after I received a package in the mail, she demanded to watch me open it because she "read an article about how people can order drugs online now", and I guess thats what she thought I did? It was a t shirt btw. She seems to have convinced herself I'm a junkie and I don't have the slightest idea why. She also doesn't want me to hang out with my friends anymore. I came out as bisexual a year ago, and she thinks I'm secretly hooking up with all of them. I'm honestly at a loss and don't know how to get her to trust me/get rid of the false narrative she's made in her head. I haven't done anything to betray her trust. What do I do?

First of all, I don't hate him just to hate him. Let me give you a back story. My mom isn't a bad wife, and my dad isn't a bad husband. Through their marriage she cheated on him. It was really depressing. She would scream at my dad for no reason and start Fighting with him for dumb stuff just to be mad with him. She would not cook for me and my sister (we were still very little) so my dad was depressed and would sleep all day.me and my sister were really not understanding what was happening, it was still stressful though. I was so stressed my hair shadded off half of my scalp I'm not exaggerating. Anyways my mom left the man and she stayed with my dad and everything was calm for 5 years. Then recently, she got in touch with that man again and everything is happening all over again. This time, I'm old enough to understand that my mom is cheating on my dad once again. It hurts me deeply seeing my dad so broken and sad. I've seen him cry at night talking to his mother on the phone. My mom kicked him out 2 days ago and I feel so heartbroken for some weird reason. She brings that man I feel like scratching his face into a million tiny pieces. I also have so much hatred towards my mom. Is it bad for me to feel this way about that man? What should I do??

My Mom left my Dad 30 years ago because of his drinking. Yet, with my uncle she is his enabler and covers up for him, even has alcohol for him. She banned me from my father for 7 years thus ruining my childhood. Yet, she has this uncle to family celebrations and asks me to join the cover up. His wife left partly him due to his drinking. linkus86: She sees him once or twice a week. 

She hasn't showered in over 2 weeks, she NEVER changes or washes her clothes, she refuses to wear deodorant, and doesn't care to brush her teeth so she also has rank breath. Her feet and shoes are also brutal. Me and my mom beg her to better her hygiene, but it's like nicely approaching the issue makes it worse, she always starts tearing up and isolates herself IN MY ROOM! She's doesn't really do ANYTHING productive she barely gets out of bed, skips school at least once a week. She really just wastes her time sleeping, drawing, and "writing poetry". She often doesn't eat and when she does she brings crapy fast-food in our home. She only has ONE friend and she doesn't smell like vanilla and roses either! What can I do going in my room is unbearable? My mom constantly tells her to shower, but we really can't force her in, we can't strip the dirty clothes off her body and wash them! My mom is by herself and works two jobs it's not like she has all day to deal with this! She's 16 like me, but she stink, wears dirty gross unattractive clothes, has short hair, doesn't wear makeup, has NO interest in guys actually I think she's a dyke which is also disgusting! I'm so embarrassed so her!

They are the worst enablers in the world. 

I have a stepsister thats 9. She has a youtube where she posts toy and doll videos where she plays with them or makes them talk to each other like a lot of kids do. I subscribed when she showed it to me. I get notifications for her videos. I never watch them but I recently got a notification that made me do a doubletake. I noticed the video was named something like "Cleo and Duess sex 1" when i clicked on it it played her making the dolls undress each other, do oral and have sex. Apparently there was multiple videos like this with all different kinds of dolls and people commenting on them. Some comments make me wonder if someone told her to do this or a prevert talked to her and put these ideas in her head. I dont know if I should tell my mom and stepdad because i already have plenty of problems of my own and I dont need her finding out I snitched on her and going psycho and bratty like she always does.

My dad keeps calling me a virgen what do?

She is a very malicious person.

They were mad at my Mom's family so they kidnapped me from them and used me as a pawn to make a statement. It ruined my childhood, they (my parents) ruined my childhood. My siblings were kidnapped by them also.

my dad tends to change moods quickly and has a very short temper. one minute he will be happy and in a good mood, and the next he will be angry and will yell at me for the smallest things. while mad, he will call me things like a spoiled brat and selfish, and one time he said he was ashamed to call me his daughter when i skipped practice (although he claims this never happened when i later told him how it upset me). he doesn't hesitate to yell at me and my siblings in public if we do something like accidentally spill a drink, which is really embarrassing. later, when he is no longer mad, he acts as if nothing happened and gets mad at me for being distant with him. i don't feel right calling this abusive because he and my mom do sacrifice a lot for me so my siblings and I can go to private school, but he ends up always bringing this up and calls us spoiled when he gets mad. is this abnormal? i do admit that i have  wondered what it would be like to have a dad who's more laid back and easy going. 

I am sick of living at home with my siblings. Everyone here is negative and I'm sick of being around it.  I have watched people on YouTube who live in a van or car and I got a lot of ideas and stuff from them on how to survive.  I am creating a list of things like where I would wash my laundry and I would shower at the gym after getting a membership and around where I live it's not illegal or nothing to park your car and sleep like in a parking lot or something. I would get curtains or something for my car. I work two jobs so I make enough money to do this and it'll be a lot cheaper than finding an apartment. I would not live in my car forever. Just enough time to save my money. I can't save my money because I either give it away to my siblings or I spend it on things I don't need because I think "since I have my money away and have like none left mind as well spend it🤷🏻‍♀️"  But I am changing my mindset towards things. I want to leave the negative environment I live in. Do you think it's a good idea? I do.  People that I've told(which I shouldn't have) they have been giving me **** about it but I think it's only because they know if I go for it then I won't be here for them to take advantage of anymore. They will have to find another way to get money or find someone to pick up after their mistakes. 

My friend she got married early to a guy with a good job. I use to feel jealous since I have many insecurities and I feel like she must have it better than me since she snag a good guy but my mom and people said it doesn't mean anything. They say Marriage is a responsiblity and I have to cook and clean and deal with financial matters, it not smart to marry early. 

It's holding me back and I am tired of it. My parents are super overprotective of me and I missed out in so many opportunities. Just because I have Aspergers doesn't mean I'm a cancer patient

I been at my job for a year and I'm kind of ashamed for even still being there I'm the last one.. and when I'm at work I always feel ugly I hate wearing my hair up and a uniform. I said that I was gonna quit last month but I decided to stAy for 1 more month due to car problems. I know that my job isn't forever but I still feel hopeless and ashamed being there..people pick at my job all the time and say how much it sucks which makes me feel even worse.. I just turned 27 and I know I may have a good year but the beginning sucks a lot.. please help?? 

I am so beyond terrified of my father. He constantly screams at me for every little thing I do. He won't even let me explain my actions without assuming and punishing me. When I try to talk to him about said issues, he will tell me I'm over reacting or to grow up. When I'm at school he's like super nice to me (he teaches at my school) but when we get home, even if I'm having a good day he will yell at me and punish me for no reason and it drives me insane. I find myself hiding from him and not speaking to him because I'm afraid that he will start yelling at me or grounding me again. He has threatened to hurt me but has yet to actually do it but I fear that one of these days he will. He doesn't believe anything I say, he will believe everyone else over me and it's really frustrating because I want to be able to open up to him without being criticized and screamed at for what I say to him. He doesn't act like this all the time, it's only when he's irritated. Whenever he gets irritated or something he always seems to take it out on my and I don't really appreciate it. I don't like coming home in fear that I'm going to be screamed at for something that I didn't even do. He really scares me when he gets like this, and I don't wanna lose him. I want him to treat me like he used to, I want to hear him say the words "I love you", and actually believe it. I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm a 15 year old girl that is studying for drivers ed and I just started out with buying the manual. I was reading the first pages and they're talking about things that I don't think concern me. So I was just wondering. Do I have to read the whole first part in order to get a good study out of the manual?

it's not even because they have a lot of work, we may be just watching tv or having dinner and i try to talk to them or get their attention and they either look at me and turn away again, tell me to shut up or simply ignore i'm calling them. the other day i fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle and cried out to them and they didn't even get up from their seats. i've tried telling them how i feel but they always get really mad and yell at me (something i've also asked them to stop doing) and tell me that they do give me attention, and change the subject. do you have any tips? i'm getting really sad since this has been going for over two years. i've even tried speaking to three therapists but they're always on the parents' side, it's not worth it. i'd really appreciate it if someone could help. thank you and sorry for the long text.

My sister was checking her voice mail two of her ex boyfriends called her she's got a boyfriend now who shes been with for 8 months. She doesn't know what she do if either one call her back. One of the guys is black so she's kind of scared. She really loves this guy she's with he loves her. The guy whos black she gave him her old phone he's been trying to get it fixed she said he called her about that but shes also worried he might try to get back together. How can I help her feel better ? Also she's a nice girl she's not the kind of girl who starts drama or deals with it
