The only things he can do (and it's a miracle) are: - Dressing up - Taking a bath and/or shower - Eating He can't do his homeworks on his own (he fails practically all his math exams and only passes his classes because we do his homeworks), relies on me (if mom isn't available) to cook his dinner, can't even boil water nor fry an egg, doesn't know how to receive the right change if we sent him to buy something, doesn't clean his room, etc. My parents spoiled him a lot more than they did with me. Meanwhile they were slightly tougher on me, they let him get away with too much. He's useless. He's not helping in anything at all and sometimes as an older sister, I find myself very frustrated and upset with him. What if I get out of the house one day or get married? I'm dating, working and going to college. Certain times I had to order chinese food because I had no time to make his dinner.

I'm a twenty five year old female living at home with her parents. Initially, I've been working and trying to get through college. But I'm so sick of living with an invasive parent that rummages though my personal things and violates my space to where I'm considering moving out. Having another sibling who lives at home with me with her two year old kid hasn't been pleasant either. I can't afford it though and don't know how I would be able to obtain a job that would pay enough for me to get out of here. Does anyone on here have any advice to offer me?

I have a baby sister who I deeply love and care for, but whenever she starts crying I wanna ******* end my eternity. It lasts for hours!! My parents do a lot of crap to make her shut up, but she never does. I get migraines EVERY single time she cries. I even thought about selling her to some messed up people. But I love her and I don't want anything to happen to her. Can someone give me some advice before I go insane please.

My kid's dad called and asked me to bring our 3 girls (8 year old and 2 year old twins) to his house at noon so that he can keep them until Christmas Day. When I show up he has about 5 friends over and his whole house is filled with marijuana smoke. He lives in a small 2 bedroom house. I asked to talk to him outside. I asked if he forgot the girls were coming. He said no he was planning to "put them in the back room." So I decided not to leave the girls and brought them back home. I told him that until he can provide a better environment they won't be at his house at all. This would've been their 3rd time sleeping over at his house. Any other time I didn't see an issue. 

So basically we have been together for 3 years and we are both 21 and so a few days ago we were at my house watching a movie and after she left I couldn't find my wallet and I looked everywhere but I couldn't find it and I panicked. I texted my girlfriend if she had it and she denied it. The next day I went to her place to hang out and when my girlfriend went downstairs to talk to her mom, I was in her bedroom and I noticed my wallet on her bedroom table and I picked it up and I saw all my cash was gone out of the wallet meaning she stole it and when she came back I told her and she denied it and said she didn't know it was mine even though it had my ID in it?? and I told her to stop lying and she promised on her life she just found it outside and didn't know whose it was and didn't check the ID. im home now with my wallet and I told her I believed her but I don't and I don't know whether to break up

He is 19 and has really dark brown hair and does lacrosse and I'm 17 and so basically every time he sees me on my phone texting someone he'll scream at me and accuse me of talking to another guy and force me to show him my texts. Another time I was at the mall with him and a guy asked me where the restroom was and my boyfriend screamed at him to go away and then screamed at me for talking to another guy. He also forces me to give him my passwords to everything and he's always on my accounts checking who I've been messaging. He also forces me to bring him everywhere so he knows who im talking to. I understand why he's like this because his ex cheated on him but this is crazy and I never have alone time, he even follows me into the bathroom

My partners mother gives me very bad gifts. I'll admit we don't talk much but I'd rather receive nothing than something as pointless and thoughtless as she does. I'm know I'm going to get called selfish and ungrateful and rude but it's absolutely frustrating. 

Long story short, ever since I got a job my dad has been spending all my pay check. I'm always trying to save but he always demands I give him money and my credit card. I help pay for bills too. He's a cheapskate. He always want other people's money but he's always greedy with his. He's in debt with a lot of people, basically owning 20k$ to a couple of people in total.  but one time I refused to give him my credit card, because he said he needed gas but I kept rejecting. So we got in a fight he kept demanding I give him my card because "his card would only work inside if he went in himself and that he didn't want to wait in line" which I know is total bs because he always made me pay for his gas. So the one time I finally stood up for myself and said no ONCE, he got all mad and so we got in a fight. He told me now I have to take uber to where ever I want now. My mom defended me but my dad is selfish only cares about himself. He even forced my mom to give up the car keys so she can't bring me anywhere. I don't have a license too because I'm afraid of driving and I don't even have a permit. My older brother moved out because of the same reason, our dad kept using all my brother's money too. So I don't know what to do in this situation. I was thinking about moving out too with other family members but I don't know.

Btw My parents don't seem to care

I'm 22 and been living in New York for a year now. In New York I have my dad , grandma , and uncles aunts cousins. I lived in Georgia with my mom and stepdad and siblings . I actually came to New York at first to mostly accompany my grandma on her flight since she was visiting Georgia . But I ended up coming back to New York with her . I haven't gone back to Georgia since . I left Georgia because I wanted to and I didn't really want to live in Georgia because it got old and I grew up there for the last 11 years. As you get older you choose what you want to do with your life . My mom chose her life by being with my stepdad and growing up with her kids. Now I'm 22 and I'm not financially stable but I'm getting there. Plus I am thankful for one of my uncles and his girlfriend who I consider a friend. We all help eachother out in some way. But honestly I wouldn't really see myself in Georgia to live there fully . But I would go and visit. My mom is coming to New York for the holidays and she is trying to convince me to go back. What do I do?

I'm in college and if I leave she'll stop helping me pay for college and my car will be taken away. I'm 21 and I don't think I can handle living with her anymore.  Listen to this: If I go out I have to tell her where i'm going and who i'm going with, I can't be out past midnight, I am not allowed to have sleepovers, she checks my bank account to see what i'm doing, and I must stay a virgin (which i'm not) I can't keep living like this. I already have no backbone, confidence issues, and i'm a pushover.  Is there any way for me to leave now?

My childhood was a mess. We stayed with whatever man mom was into at the moment. I slept alone on couches and cold floors while she was in bed with her man. She was extremely hateful to me as a teenager and would beat me into corners and to the floor almost daily over the smallest things like slipping up and replying "huh?" to a question I didn't hear instead of "ma'am". She kicked me out of the house and made me go live with my aunt if I didn't do every little thing she asked. She only knew 2 ways to punish me beat me or kick me out which she knew devastated me emotionally bc I was so attached to her (oddly). I obsessed over finding ways to please her bc I thought it would make her love me finally. I'm curious what would make someone beg their 16 year old child to have a baby bc she wanted a grandchild. I would tell her I would try but I was really trying not to bc I wanted to go to college and be a nurse. I came home from school one day at 16 and she told me that she was getting married (again) and they were moving into a 1bedroom house so I had to move with my boyfriend (24y.o.). THAT'S when I got preg but she never visits him now. One other thing that has bothered me for years is once she made me pull my pants down and show her how bad my period was bc she didn't believe me. I could go on and on but I won't I just need to know if there's a name for this type of behavior in parents like this bc I want to research so I can heal completely but idk how to "look it up".

He's my half brother because my parents are split, just wondering if it's like normal,

The uncle is drunk and my mother gives him alcohol. His grown children don't want to be around him and his wife left him partly cause of it. My sister is an abusive person. My Mom complains all day about innocent people who have done no wrong but she has labeled bad. My Dad who is actually a step-father is extremely arrogant and cannot be trusted. Meanwhile the reason I don't see my real-Dad is cause my Mom barred me from him growing up cause he was an alcoholic and she insulted him once a day or more even as long as 5-10 years after the divorce. Yet. she enables and covers up for her alcoholic brother which shows she was not protecting me but just using me as a weapon against the ex, my bio father. The bio father has died since. Also I have a really loud sister-in-law. A cousin who wants to talk about her sex life. Lastly, manic depression. Merry Christmas

I'm taking a train to my parents' house for Christmas. It arrives on Christmas Day, about 2 miles from their house. It's in a dodgy area downtown, and my parents are in their 70s. They've offered to pick me up from the train station. Wouldn't it be classier of me to make my own way to their house? I can walk (30 minutes, which is fine) or take Lyft or Uber. I figure that this is something that parents would offer to do, but they'd secretly resent having to do it. To add: I didn't ask to be picked up- they just volunteered.  

My dad has mental disabilities from a traumatic brain injury. In the last year he has become violent and aggressive at times. He has punched me in the mouth and the side of my head, pushed me, grabbed my arms and left bruises. I know it's not his fault, but I would like to limit my visits him with for awhile. But what will happen to him if I tell my custodial parent? Will the courts have to find out if I have a court ordered visitation schedule? Will he get in trouble, and will I still be able to visit him? 

We're both 27, live together, have dated on and off. My family is much poorer but conservative, his family is wealthy but liberal. We went to visit his family which included 3 siblings, and his dad rented a movie, "the night before", for us to watch. It had sex, drugs, and vide strippers. My mom would die. His dad kept bringing up topics are nudity, nude beaches, movies about strippers and prostitution, the family quoted the movie we watched which had to do with penis size. I found saved pics of porn on my boyfriends phone over the summer and got really upset and my boyfriend said he would try to stop. It seems to be very accepted on his family though, I'm uncomfortable with it, struggle with body image, and don't want my future kids around it...

So I've been trying to save for a very long time but my father keeps demanding I give him my credit card to use. He keeps saying "I don't like using my credit card so give me yours". I'm only 20 and I'm permanent at my job and I get paid every 2 weeks and he does too. The thing is he gets paid double of what I make and he always DEMANDS for my money and credit card. I always try to save but he always spend my whole paycheck. When he pays back he pays back whenever he "feels" like but if it's my money he wants it ASAP. My older brother left our family to live elsewhere because he did the same thing to him and got tired of our dad using his money. And honestly I'm getting fed up with it too. Even my mom tells him he has his own money but he's pretty much a cheap a** and everyone says it. He's in debt with a lot people and hate paying them back. Yesterday we got in a fight because the ONE time I've refused to let him use it, he got really mad at me. So I don't know what to do anymore. 

Hi everyone so my son is 21 years old. He goes to college and has a job. I recently got mad at him for using all of the data on his phone which I am paying for. I then told him that he needs to put the phone bill in his name instead of mine and now he's angry at me and says he hates me. I asked him where he was and he replied with, "Somewhere away from you". He even called me a ***** and told me that he wishes I would die. What do I do I am so worried about him? He refuses to come home and he won't speak to me.

My boyfriend is 19 and I'm 17 and he gave me his old backpack from when he was in high school like me but I don't want it since it has a stain on it, I accepted it but i threw it in the dumpster after he left my house

I'm wondering because my cousin, who lives a 4-hour drive away, lost his mother.  I was unable to attend the funeral, but my mother went.  So I gave her a sympathy card to give to our cousin, since my mother was giving a sympathy card (w/a check for $100 enclosed) to his older sister who was taking care of the funeral arrangements.  I have no idea what my mother wrote in the card, but all I wrote in my card for the deceased's son was the protocol — "Dear Cousin" and "With love."   Two years later, my best friend who I've known since I was born, lost his mother.  To this day, he's lived in the same hometown as me.  So although I mailed him a sympathy card and attended the funeral, I wrote up to about four sentences about his mother on the left (blank) side of the card, in  addition to a check for $100, even though my mother enclosed a check of that amount as well in her card for him.   Since the previous death was a cousin (mom's first cousin), and the latest death was a woman who's not related to me, was I wrong for giving my best friend a more personal sympathy card (along with money), while not writing anything (and no money) in a sympathy card for my cousin?  Or is if understandable to be more sympathetic to someone I have a much bigger emotional connection with?  I sometimes feel guilty because my mother tends to not show much love for our "surrogate family" while investing so much love in our biological family who we barely know.

Today a box from Amazon came in the mail. My parents opened it, and they called me and my siblings over to help assemble it. After we read the instructions and assembled it, we ended up with a crib. Then my parents left for their church Bible study class. Right now I'm really confused as to why they even ordered a crib. First of all, who is it for? My mom is not pregnant, and there are no guests coming over? Also, the youngest of my siblings is 11 years old. I'm 14 and I have a 16 year old sibling as well. About 30 minutes ago I checked the mail, and some diapers and a pacifier, as well as some baby food, arrived in the mail. Now what the heck is all this for? Is it a punishment or what?

Do you think it is possible for one human being to love another?

Ugh! This is so embarrassing! My dad is really fat, and he wears really short short shorts every single day! Even in the winter! Everybody laughs at him, but he doesn't seem to care, and he just proudly shows off his short shorts. I've talked to him about it, so have my siblings, and even my mom, but nobody can stop him. What should I do in this case? If anyone buys my dad news pants, he'll just throw them away or stash them somewhere and never wear them. He is addicted to his short shorts. So how do I convince him to wear longer shorts?

I get every ******* X-mas.  I feel like Billy Bob Thorton in Bad Santa.  I see all the happy fakes around me at the superstore and I can't help feeling like I have a Santa suit on with a bottle of Jack and a cigarette hanging out of my mouth grunting at kids and scoping ***.  How can I break out of this mold and move on?

My husband hasn't had a real job in 6 months I told him he can use my moms Uber and I'm starting to think that's the only thing that's making him stay with me he never buys me absolutely anything at all with the money I help him make

Her father & mother are divorced(They've been divorced for years),and her mother speaks about her father in a very harsh light,I feel,despite it being him simply trying his hardest to raise her & her brother right. When she visits her father on weekends(which is becoming rarer & rarer nowadays) and I'm at my grandparents (her father lives above them in the small 2nd floor appartment),she spends more time with/around me than she does with her father,her brother,my grandparents,or by herself. We don't talk much when we're hanging out-I believe that this is because her brother also hangs out in the same room at the same time,and also because my attention is more often than not fixated on the computer than much else when we're all together. However,when it's just her & I in the room,she seems to get a lot more handsy & affectionate sometimes. On one occasion,she asked,unprompted,to feel my muscles,and proceeded give me a compliment which was whispered under her breath. On another,she kinda just...buried her face in my neck during a hug (which was given as I was coming back into the computer room after exiting for a minute to grab a soda) & gave me a small kiss. On numerous other occasions,I've caught her staring at me in a way I am unsure how to describe-something she'd quickly stop doing or pretend she wasn't doing almost as soon as I'd turn around (as I can feel when I'm being stared at for long-you know the feeling; like when you're being scrutinized would be a good example)

I wonder if all single people depressed but these days I see many dysfunctional families and divorces.. 

not much you can do since your kid is an adult and not in your house what is to stop your kid from hitting you back or pressing domestic charges against you 

So he is 19 and I am 17 and hes really gross. So basically when I go to his house, when ever he uses the bathroom it smells really bad and it's disgusting. Another time he burped while he was eating and I hit him. also he always wears his glasses which ruin his looks so i threaten to hit him so he gets rid of them
