I'm a 53 year old father of two adult sons (one 23 and the other 20 years old). My wife killed herself 2 years after our youngest son was born, because she suffered from major depressive disorder. My youngest son has the same symptoms and he was in the psychiatric hospital for a few months. The expenses of his hospitalisation and his medications are too high and though my oldest son helps me in taking care of his expenses and he also supports his brother emotionally, I can't expect him to do this for long, as he has his own life. The doctors say that my son is severely suicidal and they're not sure if he can be healed soon. Keeping him in the house is too dangerous. He always seeks for a way to end his life and he once attacked his brother with a knife. The antidepressants have made him almost unable to think or react properly in different situations. He needs my assistance to go to the bathroom or do the most simple tasks. At the same time, he's becoming malnourished, as he's afraid he might get fat due the medications he takes. That's a huge struggle. I don't want him to follow his mother's path. I did all I could to save my wife. I don't want to lose another member of the family. I'm going to send him to the hospital again in a week, but the doctors give me no hope for his treatment and I feel broken both financially and emotionally.

My sister's husband use to barge in the bathroom and yell at my nephew while he showered. Then he would scrub him so hard that he would make him cry. He use to say that his behind hurt..  I got in his face then and him and my sister turned on me and told me to mind my own business.  I have been made out to be the bad guy but I just feel something not right.  He also use to make my nephew sit on the couch with him and watch TV and dance in front of the TV while he drank beer on the couch.  The list can go on. I have had problems with this guy for a long time. My nephew now is older. He doesn't like to shower. He has an eating problem also.  Is this right ??? I need opinions 

My wife and I will have been married some 10 years this April and she has been wanting to go on another cruise. We've sort of been dragging our feet because she wants to go but wants me to plan it. Well, a week or so ago my sister-in-law sent out a group text asking who all would be interested in doing a big family cruise this summer. The first thing my wife said was, "I'd love to go because I never get to do anything with my family." Not true because we recently drove down to the beach to hang out with her family for Thanksgiving weekend. We've gone on several vacations with her family over the years and likewise with mine. Well, my S-I-L hasn't said anything else about the cruise. About 15 people all raised their hands wanting to go. I told my wife that we needed to take over the planning of it before too much time passes by and no one has the money or the ability to take off work this summer. Now she's saying that she never committed to doing the family cruise and would much rather we do our own cruise. Even though she replied to the group text with possibly locations and dates. In my mind that was acceptance but not in hers. Now she's telling me that she wants just us to plan a cruise. I told her to reply to the group text to count us out. She won't do that. In one breath she's complaining about not being able to do things with her family but the next breath she's not willing to do anything with her family. Is she straddling the fence here?

waking her up when she is sleeping not letting her watch tv she eats in the car or in the bathroom with me standing outside demanding she sit where I tell her to calling her a liar because she says I say things that I would never say turning our friends and her nieces and nephew against her so they will hate her to get back at her

I'm a single dad, and have been for essentially her entire life. She's 14 now. What I don't get, is the arguing just to argue, on non-issues, or, what should be a non-issue. Asking her to do the dishes some nights turns into, " I'm not the help". Cleaning of the room is the same, tired, " Nobody but me will see it" fight. I ground, I take away phone, laptop, only makes her scream louder. I just don't want to argue, don't know what I do from here. What can I do?

   Back when I was a teen, my mom saw that as a "growing up period." It was extremely difficult trying to cope with as much pain as I had. I am now 18 almost 19 years old, I'm happy to be away from her, she'd promise me things, but it'd never happen. I understand she was only trying to "parent" me, but that **** stings. "You're never going to get into the high school you want!" "You'll have no friends where you're going." "Why can't you be more like your sister? She is smart and has a degree!" Those were the words she said the most, along with "Stop crying! It doesn't get you anywhere, not like it already has." I remember she would yell at me for crying, and at one point, I snapped.     I was about 15 when I "ran away." I had brought about $15 or so, and went to my local donut shop, where I calmed myself down. And of course, when I came back home, I was greeted with "Are you done with your ******* tantrum you big baby?" I didn't say anything, not like I wanted to. I had never been book smart, but I was street smart, and I had common sense, which didn't help my cause. At one point, when I was about 14, I had told my mother about these problems, how I hated myself, and I called myself stupid, I would've never guessed she would've laughed at me, but to no one's surprise, she did. I've bottled it up for way too long, and all I got was a cackle.     This was the first time I had ever cut myself. Is this how a mom is? If so, she mentally hurt me, it was draining.

I could also just send my piece of **** son. If he dies i wouldnt care. But if anything happens to my daughter, i would die from crying

We had a YUGE assembly today, all of the high school AN middle school was their an the gym was PACKED some people even had to stand! The principle enterduced this police guy an while he was talking I felt a big fart coming on. I lifted my leg an spread my cheeks so it would come out silent but it didn't, it was LOUD an omg the stench, that may of been the rankest one I ever cut. The police guy stopped talking an the principle flipped out, he was screaming my name an yelling at me to get out of the gym! I was scared to death an started to cry an then peed my pants! They turned the lights on, people was complaining an had there shirts over there noses, the principle came up an grabbed me by the arm an got a whiff an gagged, he pulled me up an everyone could see the big pee stain on my pants an I was squallin an ballin! I am now in the libary, I called Mom a  said I HAVE to quit school, I will prolly NEVER have a GF now an I am the laughing stalk of the school again! Mom said I deserve whatever I get that I should of went to the bathroom to toot but I was in the middle of a bleacher an I couldn't get up!  This is so unfair.  What can I do to make her let me quit school?

He's 13 (I'm 19)and his friends at school make fun of him because he is smaller than everyone else, he is fine with the fact that he is small but what bothers him is the way people dismiss him or pick him up or just plain make jokes about him and that no one takes him seriously.. Its breaking my heart to find out that he's a lot more sensitive than I thought and that even the little things I say sometimes when I'm joking get to him, I don't know how to deal with it or what to tell him and I'm afraid it'll affect his personality as he grows older

My mother is 84 years old. She lives in Florida. All of us kids live in Delaware. She refuses to move back here to live with us. She lives alone and is doing well. The issue is she calls me and my siblings daily about her neighborhood and how people are taking advantage of her but she does NOTHING to stand up for herself or say no.  My mother's neighbors (who are in their 50's) had my mother go over to their house and pack their entire kitchen while they took a nap. They moved to an apartment 30 minutes from where my mother lives and are asking her go to their house 3 times per day for 5 days while they are away to take care of their dogs. They are renting They are renting until April then they are moving across country. They want my mother to drive out across country with them for 2 weeks so she can help them unpack their home then they agreed to pay her flight back.  Her other neighbors were gone for a 3 months and had my mother every week pay for and mail their mail to their house for 3 months. It cost her a lot of money! Her other neighbors show up daily and smoke in her home. My mother isn't even supposed to not even be around smoke. Her house STINKS like cigarettes bad. All these people are retired and are about 20+ years younger then my mother. It's a lot of white trash in her neighborhood. My mother complains to us daily but does nothing to resolve the situation. Should I step in and say something? Or just stay out of it? She complains daily 

Who would you say was in the wrong here?  This happened around 10 years ago when I was 5 but I have been thinking of it a lot lately. I can still remember it crystal clear.   It was a Saturday evening and my then 26 year old mom had promised to watch a movie with me and make popcorn. She had put the movie on and told me that she would come back soon.  I was a nice kid and waited but I wanted to watch the movie and eat popcorn with mom so after around 5 minutes I decided to open the door to my parents' bedroom and yeah saw my dad on top of my mom. I didn't know what was going on so I just went to my mom and told her to come while trying to pull her out. Neither of them had clothes on but my dad told me to get the **** out.   I heard my mom saying something to him, probably about how rude he was. Well my mom ended up coming out soon after and we watched the movie. I asked her what happened and she told me that they were play wrestling but I of course understood what was happening at around 13 or so.

Hello all, i'm 27 i turn 28 years of age the current year and i study nursing to become a male nurse ^_^ . I been feeling like if my classmates conspire against me in some sort of way because they leave me out of every activity which is in group and when i return home at around 4pm, i am so upset that i think people on the street know why i am angry. I feel observed. I am no a silly person and extremely know that's paranoia but i can't have paranoia because i am aware my thoughts are irrational. Could it just be jealousness?. well, thank you for reading, from miyazaki-ken ... tsutomu ^_^

NOT A QUESTION MARK

My fiancé has a very small family. His family includes his mother, younger brother, and sister.  His mother had never been married or had siblings. Their father has never been in the picture and all grandparents have passed. So, my fiancé grew up with just them. (I say this because it might have to do with it) Couple days ago my fiancé proposed and I said yes! We have been dating for 3 years and couldn't wait to tell our families. When we told his family the news it didn't exactly go as I thought.  His mother was excited and said and kept saying over and over again "really? That's great! " his siblings looked confused, they felt the need to say congrats but they were looking at each other finding words to say. They didn't even give us a hug excited, or show any excitement really.  When we went upstairs I heard them both talking to their mom like "what's this mean now?" "They're actually getting married?" and I continued to hear the mom say "yup". So what their reaction wasn't what I expected, or as exciting as how my family reacted but is this bad? 

literally everyone in my family snores. It drives me mad when we go on vacation and have to share a hotel room because everyone snores SO loudly. I've been recorded, and several friends and family members know and have told me that I DO NOT snore at all, so why is my family such horrible snorers. I looked up that there are several factors that cause snoring but I feel like given each family member's individuality they couldn't possibly share those type of factors.

I'm 23 and I still get treated like I'm 15. If I talk to one of my friends on the phone at night, she comes banging on my door to bark and question who I'm talking to. If I'm texting or even dare to check my phone for the time, she interrogates me about who I'm responding to. If I'm upstairs in my room, just minding my business and watching YouTube, she will cause a scene by asking what I'm doing in a dramatic way. It's frustrating me beyond words. I literally do nothing. I don't smoke or drink, and I'm still a virgin. I grew up in a strict household and it's kept me a "good girl", but now I'm feeling the need to rebel out of spite. I'm 23 for Godsake, when will I get my privacy that I've EARNED? I feel so trapped in the house and simply just seeing my phone gives me PTSD bc all I can think about is getting questioned and yelled at it for. Before you ask, yes I'm moving out within 5 months, but it's becoming unbearable. I already asked her to treat me like an adult, but she just becomes more dramatic & claims I'm hiding something for saying that. I honestly wanna go out, get drunk, and sleep with 30 men just out of vengeance for her strictness. Any advice? 

I recently talked to my aunt and uncle (guardians) with my mom on one of her visits with me about moving out. I'm only asking this because they're making things extremely difficult and now they're telling us that we have to go through a big process with the court which is totally okay, but I'm just trying to get out of here as soon as physically possible. They're giving me absolute hell now ever since I talked to them and it's been extremely difficult coping with the stress. The 5 years I have been with them, they have made my life hell and cause extreme stress and anxiety for me.  Is what they're saying about the process of court accurate? Or could I just move out with my mom without that type of process?  Additional information: My mom used to be a drug addict and that's why I was taken out. She has been sober now for a while and if I moved in with her I would be in a stable environment with my own bedroom.

For some reason, my family doesn't like it when I sit in the car for a long time.  I don't know why it matters.  I'm not hurting anyone by sitting in the car.  So, why do they have a problem with it?

Hints? Tired of fake ppl like my narcissist parents

My parents are great individuals but my father doesn't allow me to live my life. For example, when I went to college I was offered cool internships that led to jobs and he was upset because I didn't ask for his input. He did not attend college. I also was able to do various things on my own like maintain a long relationship, purchase my own new car, etc. he seems offended by everything and is always upset. Why?

He says that he ***** mom every night before bed

I ask my mom if I can go to the store or get highlights and she says if I clean around the house so then I clean and after I do everything she says she can't and she had to get work done. I hate her. She always does this and hits me all the time across the face whenever she wants.

I talk to some guy for a few months & tonight he told me how his dad is ready for grandkids then I told him how my dad is the complete opposite, then he text me if my dad will ever wants to have grandkids? So I asm my mom has dad ever mention & she said no then I said one time he came & told me how to not keep my cell phone so close as it causes fertility problems & if I want kids to keep it away, my mom response "Well from what he watches he even watches for him". Then she stop it was as if she was going to say he also watches for himself. I ask her to repeat what she said & she change it to "from what your dad watches he sees how schools are using all technology & how it messes with fertility". So if my dad is also watching out for himself that mean his fertility? I ask my mom is she ready for grandkids & she said "no I'll go bye bye". She was just telling me how she thinks it's crazy that Cameron Diaz had a baby at 47 she thinks it's sad because by the time the child is 10 she could be the grandma. Also my mom said she doesn't herself have patience herself really at her age. She said this passed summer she's done having kids, first time she said it seem iffy but the second time she seem for sure & wants to live her life. I have 2 younger sisters 10-8 my middle sister is always in/out the hospital I have to watch my youngest sister and take over etc. all I want to know if it seems she's done having kids? Btw my dad takes pills he says for energy but it's also for fertility

Just today, i was at my local supermarket.  I saw someone allowing their kid to ride in a small shopping trolley (or cart) The trolley/cart had no seats or sest belts provided and was like a basket on wheels. The handlebar of the trolley said "Strictly No Children Permitted in Trolley" and yet, the kid was in the trolley. Why are parents allowing this to happen?

My baby is 10 months old, my nephew is 3 about to be four. He's way more advanced for a child his age, due to his mother letting anyone babysit him because she had him young, she is 21. She lets him listen to what ever music he chooses to on YouTube, he barely goes to his daycare. So he hangs out with his uncles and grandmother. I have to constantly tell him to stop playing with my child, he has a tablet that he can play with and tons of toys at my mothers. Yet, he still can't seem to stop being so obsessed with my 10 month old. He just gives me a bad vibe, it's something about him I don't trust him. He has a mischievous look in his eye and I believe if I wasn't a possessive mom he would hit my child, Kiss him in his mouth, and god knows what. I say this because my mom told him, "only Kiss him on the cheek." He playfully throws up a set at my baby. I have bad anxiety already. I love my child. I just feel older kids should not play with infants. Everyone thinks I'm being a b****
