Question: How should I deal with this awkward family situation? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 01:18 PM PST My son and his wife fell on hard times when he lost his job. Their home was repossessed and my daughter in law's parents refused to help. They said they were grown ups and had to look after themselves. I wasn't going to see them homeless so I let them move in with us. They've been with us for six weeks now. It was odd at first, but now it's quite nice living as a family and eating all of our meals together and taking a family bath on a Sunday evening. It got weird the other day when I came home a little bit early from work and my son was sat on the sofa with his pants around his ankles and his wife's mouth around his manhood. I know they both saw me. But neither of them has mentioned it. I can't look at them. It's so awkward. I'm going to have to ask them to move out. What's the best way to say it without seeming evil? |
Question: Stressed out because of my family. What should I do? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 01:16 PM PST My sister's and my mom have been treating me like **** for YEARS! And it WAS mainly OVER their boyfriend's. Which I NEVER liked any of them because they were taken my niece's money. Well, today, my sister tells my OTHER SISTER that I said she took her heater out of my house. That WAS NOTHING to get MAD about. And she told her this AFTER I ordered her baby diaper bags. I was JUST talking to all 3 of them Now they're MAD at me? I have no idea what I did wrong. I'm so stressed out, I had to go to the HOSPITAL because I was having a heart attack. I really HATE THEM! What the hell DID I do wrong? |
Question: Why do you think I am feeling hurt over what my sister said? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:56 PM PST My younger sister and I have gotten super close the last four months but I haven't been able to give her as much time to chat as I did earlier due to my husband working nights and sleeping days and I have hired staff during day to help with errands and cleaning so I can have more time to myself. I think I hurt her unintentionally but I still talk to her about every day. Well today we talked and she said she may not be available as much anymore because she needs to work on herself and she is making big changes and I said I understand and then she said I'm trying to stay away from negative people and I know I am very uplifting and never talk about my problems and usually it is me listening to her and her problems by lending an ear. I have been busy so haven't been as available as I was so I think she is letting me know that she isn't going to be talking to me as much and I said I understand. However, I feel it was sort of rude for her to say that out of the blue and so I am a little hurt. I am giving her the space she asked for and actually if she means it, it will be good for both of us as she has been calling me a lot. But I would never call her negative or say I need my space and that sort of hurt me. |
Question: My parents won’t let me fly alone at 19!? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:56 PM PST hey! i'm 19 years old, I ended up taking semester off to focus on me and get job. all though I got my job, the job place still have not updated me on schedule even when I called bunch of times. I understand my parents won't let me fly because I need to make money first, but either way even if I had job right now they still wouldn't let me go. i'll be visiting my boyfriend in college NEW YORK. my family been dealing with so much and I just need to get out of house becsuse it's making me depressed. how do I communicate to my mom? she won't take that enough is enough. like she wants me to do something with my life which I want to, but lost interest in thing's I like and feel depressed. just is annoying because she doesn't understand how much things I have on my mind. also last question where do you buy cbd? at stores in boston or nh |
Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:55 PM PST My mom flies off the handle very quickly. She yells, screams, talks a lot of crap, and 30 years ago all that triggered my dad to hit her. My dad has changed a lot! I am very close to him; he is mellow, loving, adoring w/ his grandkids, my mom has NOT changed in the last 40 years of their marriage - she has only gotten worse. My mom left my dad 3 days ago citing the physical abuse of 30 years ago. Yet my mom is known for holding huge grudges, for not forgiving, for blaming EVERYONE for her faults, for not accepting her mistakes! I told her that indeed my dad should NOT have hit her back then, but he's since changed a lot, for the better. She won't hear it. My mom was sexually abused by her older brother when she was 12. She is part of 11 siblings, all 7 sisters are divorced and IMPOSSIBLE to have a healthy relationship with. My relationship with her has been estranged for years - to the point that she broke into my house one day to see if my husband and I weren't watching porn movies in front of the kids. :'( She's never had lasting friendships. She will hate them when things don't go her way. She will NOT resolve problems, she BLAMES ME for having stayed married to my dad! She WILL NOT accept fault for anything. I have tried talking to her about going back to my dad, but she won't, saying he verbally abuses her. Is she seeing someone else? Is she narcissistic? How can i help reunite our family. My daughters are suffering and she doesn't care. |
Question: Is it healthy for parents to control a 30 year old man? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:48 PM PST My children's father has two very controlling and toxic parents. They treat him like he's a child and take pride in taking advantage of his weak nature. They claimed our relationship was unhealthy but yet they present very unhealthy behaviors towards their son. They are keeping him from his kids and micromanaging every single little thing he's doing. They are monitoring his emails and all... they never liked us being together and so now that we broke up they need to ensure that they are fully back in control and we won't have any possible way of getting back together... even at the cost of his kids. He has two young children that are being kept away from their father due to the grandparents obsession and own selfish desires to erase me and the kids we had. They keep relaying messages for him but won't let him speak to me directly and say any of this. I know him and I know his dad abuses his authority over him and terrifies him so he won't speak up. They know if they allow this it will only result in the benefit on our kids and us co parenting successfully. They don't want that. He can't do anything without going through them just based on them wanting to make sure there's no reconciling. His dad is fully micromanaging him from another state and with the help of his mom. If he felt any of what they say why do they need to go to great lengths to make sure we don't talk? The only motive is to make sure our relationship is over. It's sick |
Question: What to do about my ex's obsessed mother? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:17 PM PST I have two children with a man and we recently ended our relationship. His mom has been a pest the entire relationship even before she actually even met me. She's just an evil person. Her son is currently being controlled by her and his dad and they are keeping him from seeing his kids because they want to make sure our relationship is over. They never liked us together because he was no longer being controlled by them and so now they want to ensure they will never lose that control again. They treat him like he's a child and won't let him step up and be a father. Well his mom is now stalking and harassing me. She emails my landlord and tries to bad mouth and sabotage me (to make them look less bad for making her son neglect his two young children) tries to talk to my neighbors to be nosy, and now watching my yahoo and setting up fake accounts to leave answers under my posts! This woman was a problem from thr start and she's a problem now. I can see why her son has the issues he has.... it clearly runs in the family. |
Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:56 AM PST I nead help , my sister has become sexually active and is lying to the family about it and even lied to to me when I asked her about because I had my suspicions, since there was more guys coming over than usual. And later i found out because I came home from work early one day and caught her in the act. Well my dad is pushing me to watch over her and make sure she's not doing anything stupid, because during her birthday party only 2 female friends showed up and the other 12 people where guys and so my mom is also telling me to watch otu for her and i know she's being safe because my condoms are going missing and I don't lose condoms since I hide them in my hiking bag. but I don't know if I should tell my parents or tell her to stop or let her do her thing, she's moving in with my dad and hes super strict so she's been doing it way more often since my mom gives her plenty of freedom and I'm scared she's going to ruin her life with a pregnancy at such a young age. What should I do |
Question: My mom stole my identity and ruined my credit. What would you do? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:52 AM PST Hello everyone. Here's the story, I'm 25 years old, I'm in college and I live with my mom. My mom has stolen my brother's sisters and grandmothers credit and who knows how many other people she has done this to. She ruined all of our credit scores as she has never paid anything off. Right now I live with her because rent is free since she uses section 8 housing and I am on the housing list and she also gets food stamps using my name. she also claims me as a dependent so she uses me for plenty of things. Anyway I would like to know how I can fix my credit and what I should do about my mom. I currently don't have a relationship with her but it's impossible to avoid her so I am friendly to avoid drama. Another frustrating thing is she is always borrowing money from me and I'm tired of being her loaner. |
Question: My mom makes me do everything for her. She’s so lazy what do I do? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:51 AM PST I'm 17 and my mother makes me do EVERYTHING for her. I obviously understand that I sometimes need to help out or do chores but she literally asks me to get up and get her stuff all the time although she can do it herself. For example, she asks me to get things that are 10 feet away from her, but she just doesn't want to get up. And if I ever complain she uses the excuse that she's been working all week. It's like having a job and providing for your kids the bare minimum.... |
Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:21 AM PST i've always thought that i grew up with a comfortable life. But now, I just found out that my mom got a loan to help pay her sister's debt, in exchange she mortgaged our house without the knowledge of my dad (the title was on her name). My siblings and I found out that the mortgage hasn't been paid for 9 YEARS and the creditor is now demanding payment. The only person who has the capability to pay for the loan is no other than my dad but he just had a heart attack 2 years ago and finding out about this would surely put his health at risk. We really dont know what to do and the sister that my mom helped is ignorant about everything |
Question: How do you handle/confront overbearing parents ? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:09 AM PST I feel like my mom is letting out all her frustrations on me. Shes always wanted to be a CPA but couldnt because she got pregnant and wasnt able to take the board exam. Because of that, she guilt-tripped me into taking accounting in college and now that I've graduated, shes pushing me to take boards right away even when I'm not ready. It came to a point when it's annoying because she believes I'm gonna end up nowhere if I dont follow what she wants. Even with my boyfriend of 4 years, my mom would always think that he's eventually going to cheat on me because hes smart and hardworking while I'm "being lazy" for taking a break after college. I just dont know how to confront her bc she has been emotionally manipulating me all my life (even using her "depression" against me) and my dad always seem to be on her side regardless |
Question: I don't know how to resolve this family issue? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:29 AM PST I had an argument with my mom and brother regarding money issue in the family. I have been paying for almost all the bills at home and helping my brother with one car loan (we have two cars). Once awhile, I would complain how things would be so much better if they never got expensive cars, and were more money wise. But I only do that when I feel unbearable. Everytime I bring up how my brother is not really helping out with bills, my mom acknowledges it, says she's talked to him, but after that is still the same. And my brother would even say how I never say anything when I did told him a couple times regarding the bills. He said he'll help but he never brings it up when the bills come. And when I keep talking about it, I'm the bad guy. Also ever since I'm with my bf, they say I've changed. Saying I don't talk to them as much, and being by myself all the time. When I try to talk to my mom about some things, she either changed subject or doesn't look like she cares. Or if is something she doesn't want to hear, she just gets upset and angry. They even blame it on my bf when I bring up the money issue. But that is something I've been saying way before I met my bf. I'm really tired of this and I don't know how to explain to my mom anymore. She only keeps getting upset. Maybe I'm not explaining well, she keeps twisting my meanings. |
Question: Asked to be guardian of family members kids if they die??? Help? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:50 AM PST A family member has 3 kids. 17 yo boy, 9 yo girl, and 7 yo with downs. I have an 8 yo girl and 2 mo. old boy that was a late surprise. She casually asked in a msg last night if me and my hubby would be her beneficiaries of her kids. As i love her and her kids dearly i immediately said yes... yes im dumb as i didnt discuss with husband first or really consider what she was asking fully. Fast forward to 30 min later and it hits me... as she is older than me and her daughter with downs will need to be taken care of for the duration of her life i was agreeing to sign away me and my husband's later years with one another doing things we have always talked about, like traveling. I am a recent college grad also who does hope to have a career in my field asap. Me and my husband both feel overwhelmed as it is and now i dont know how to approach my family member to let her know ive changed my mind as its not just til 18 and done. I love these kids, i really do but this family member vents to me all the time about how insanely difficult her life is raising special needs daughter, how it negatively impacts her other children, her time, her sanity, her finances, etc. It had me wondering... would i be sacrificing my children too if something happened to my family member? I know it would. This girl has to go to drs appts and therapy sessions like 5 times a week as well. I dont just want to hear im being selfish as i dont think thats the case. I do feel very guilty. Thoughts? |

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:24 AM PST This is the father I have written about before that spoke for about 6 months about how I should "plan on a ski trip in Oregon to see my cousins this February" and then changed his mind. He went travelling with some semi-friends last weekend and is going to the beach house with my step-mother this weekend. End of the month he is travelling to a wedding with my step-mother. None of that for work. Plus his work is very slow right now his cousin who works there said. So how do I point out to him that this was obviously another one of his lies? How do I do it nicely as I have asked before? This weekend was the Oregon trip. David B: If it was just that then it would be fine but he had already made the promise. You can't break promises and not be a liar. It is part of why my Mom had to leave years ago. His lies are an ongoing thing for him and I am a fool to believe him. I love him but he is a chronic liar. |

Question: Why does my family treat me like a burden? Why do they want to put me group home? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 08:43 PM PST Last week I asked my family for help because im in a financial bind. They started yelling at me and saying how disgusted they are with me and that they think I need a conservator, guardian, and that I need to live in a group home. Now I have a job and money. Its just that my hours decreased and im struggling. But after a family member said I should live in a group home, it dawned on me "Why are they always saying that to me?" They have been saying that to me since I was 15 years old (Im 38 now) the day my mom died. That day my family and I got together and one of my relatives said while pointing at me "Well what are we going to do with her? Let put her in a group home." My Uncle instead took me in. Its been mentioned several times throughout the years. Im not dumb, stupid, or retarded. I am pretty smart. I have 2 college degrees. I was on the honor roll and Deans list in college, twice. I just don't get why my family wants me put in one of these places. Why am such a burden to them? I try and help them out. Im caring, compassionate. But I get no respect back. I am tempted to cut ties with them and give them all a restraining order to leave me alone and stay away. But if I can understand why they do this to me, maybe there is a way I can confront them about how I feel and maybe we can work on an understanding of one another or something. Please help. I need advise on what to do or how to handle this in the future. |
Question: Hand anyone in your family ever called your baby their baby? ? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 08:27 PM PST My sister in law keeps calling my daughter her "baby" and she won't let anyone else hold her and if she comes over and my daughter is sleeping she will say "wake my baby up" and try to go into the room to wake her up. She is just too much and I just keep avoiding her but it's not right because then my daughter can't be around the rest of the fam. What can I do? Am I overreacting? |
Question: What should I do if some important unknown mail got blown away? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 07:38 PM PST I work a jobs and go to college, and sometime have to shop after work. I was headed toward the house after work and after shopping 🛍, and I had 4 bags counting my gym bag, and checked the mail but it was so windy. my mom's letter(I live with my mom) got blown away out my mouth since my hands were full. It so windy outside it couldn't be found. I pray it wasn't nothing important. |

Posted: 06 Feb 2020 06:54 PM PST I am obsessed on this. I will feel so guilty even if many where I live stay home. I want to be a loyal leader in the family and not someone who only does stuff when convenient. |
Question: Teen drinking. Parents found out? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 06:44 PM PST To be as short as possible i'm a 16 year old girl and my mom found alcohol in my room. I had a plastic water bottle with probably around an ounce of liquor in a bag in my room. My mom found it when packing a bag for a family trip. Anyways, this was two weeks ago and she didn't tell my stepdad. As a "punishment" she told me at dinner i need to have a conversation with him tomorrow while her and my little sister are out of town. I genuinely don't know how to go about explaining this to him. I want to be honest with him but don't want him to look at me badly since this was a one time think to basically fit in with my new friend group. I'm just afraid he'll judge me because he didn't drink or party much in college and with me being a high schooler it's rightfully concerning to a parent. I know what I did was wrong but at the same time i feel like my parents are overacting. Possibly because i'm a genuinely good kid (taking college course, student council leader at my school, i have a job, i play sports, high grades). It's just humiliating because although i did drink, it was very little (i wasn't even at a tipsy state). Anyways, if any of you all are parents or have been in this situation any tips on how to go about this. I'm having mixed feelings because I know underage drinking is wrong but i feel like since this is the first 'bad' thing i've done my parents are taking it out of hand and making a big deal out of it. |

Question: Why do people bully me and not my siblings? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 05:29 PM PST I'm more sensitive than my siblings. Nothing really bothers my siblings. |
Posted: 06 Feb 2020 02:53 PM PST My childs father and I have been broken up for 3 1/2 years. I have moved on so has he. Our child is 5 years old and lives between both homes. We share Joint custody. I pay him child support and all of the other expenses for our child. We are suppose to make all agreements for our child together as in schooling and other major life events. My sons father has now changed my childs school and daycare 3 times without consulting with me. He has told me that he and his GF will make those decision. He calls himself the custodial parent when he talks to me. I feel like to protect myself I have to always voice record when I am around him because he makes up false allegations on the emailing site that we use. He wants full custody of our child and he told me he will make sure I get less and less time with our child. What should I do? Now his gf is stalking me. She showed up at my Childs school while I was picking my child up from school. This is the second time, This time I made a police report because they have showed up to my home unnanounced and now following me. Its scary. I sent him an email letting him know that I seen his gf following me he said she was at the school meeting her childs father. Get this, her child doesnt go to my sons school her child is in middle school and she lives not even a block away from the school why would she be there? |
