I never met my daughter in real life.  She just turned 13.  Her mom and her live very far away.  I happened to find her youtube channel and I made comments on two of her videos.  I said that she is beautiful like her mom and I was proud of her (on her piano performance and art work).  She never responded for a week then I realized I have a bunch of booty shaking and twerking videos on my youtube channel.  Will she think I'm wierd and did I ruin any chance of knowing her?

I have been married for five years. While I love my husband's parents and brother, their values are the exact opposite of mine. The parents were extremely selfish while they were growing up and they treated them (my husband and his brother) like crap!!!!! They basically did the bare minimum the law requires them to do as parents (food, clothing, shelter, public education). I'm from a family that believes children should be put first and sacrifices should be made in order to give them the best life possible and to save for their college tuition. Additionally, my husband and I are conservative. His family is very liberal and weird. For instance, the mom has said very pro-abortion things in the past that pissed me off and she and her husband take disgusting nude sexual pictures of them and they keep them publically available on a computer that is not password protected and in a public area of the house. (I'm talking butt plugs and messy analingus and things like that. It's appalling.) They leave their poop-covered sex toys out in the open (their other son still lives with them) and they are both swingers. Obviously this disgusting behavior conflicts with my personal values.  I find myself internally angry towards them when around them because of these factors. Also, they have taken the liberty of commenting on my weight in the past, which I didn't like. Does anyone have tips for getting along with in laws like this? 

my kids doctor told me to feed them more vegetables but I hate them, and my kids take after me. I found goldfish crackers snack the colored ones and they are made with vegetables. can my kids just eat those instead of me having to buy "real" vegetables

They are visiting with their daughter but coming for an event on the husband's side of the family (great-aunt is my late grandmother's sister). My Dad when I mentioned it said "well you don't even know if they are coming and they will have lots of people calling them". He does not like it when I reach out to extended family. He has no ill will for his aunt and uncle but sees it as bad that I reach out. So my question is how do I arrange to see them in a way that would work and if they are too busy how do I get over my disappointment? I am an adult so don't need Dad to take me but will need to know when and if everyone is getting together with them (it is a big local extended family). I am getting anxious though it is a few weeks from now. I get anxious easily and am OCD but I have to make sure I don't exhibit that in person to them or it would make people uneasy. I ask on here often to avoid showing it in real life as you may recognize my stories. This is NOT the side of the family I usually am writing about. 

Their mother who is was an aunt in her marriage to my uncle also blocked me but she is divorced so I understand it might be awkward though she follows my sister. Only mistake I made was in 2008 I sent more then one friend request when Facebook was new so was maybe invasive. That was twelve years ago though. Also the ex-wife of my uncle dislikes my Mom over typical family spats. They have a brother and he follows me on Facebook and has no problem with me. He is the oldest. The two girls, now in their mid-twenties, block me though. I feel hurt and kind of angry. The former aunt I understand and she has been divorced for almost 10 years but I don't understand the two cousins. How do I get over this?

I really just want it to be a small thing. I don't even really want to go to begin with, I'm just going for my mom. 

Recently, my mom was complaining that she shouldn't have to cook for the house anymore. My brother and I are in our 20's. I cook sometimes but my brother does not really at all. She was complaining for about an hour or two about this.  Tonight she offered dinner and I said no. She then asked me why I was refusing a lot lately and I reminded her that she has been complaining non stop about making food for everyone and she said no I meant your brother. I told her I think we should just start making our own meals. Was this harsh to say that I think we should make our own food?

So , a bit of info about me: I m a American high school student, who has pretty good grades but they re not fantastic. I m good at Math, considering I often get 70 percent or higher on most tests. Now, my Math teacher... really, REALLY doesn t like me. In fact, she doesn t like anyone in our school So, what happened? Often she gives us little-to-no time to take our tests. The primary example is how she only gives us around 15 minutes every test which is insane as their full unit tests and every other math teacher gives their class 90 minutes . But last Friday she went too far in my opinion, I didn't finish my test in time and asked her for more time, but she refused and told me to turn it in NOW, and I begged for more time, and we started arguing verbally about how it isn't fair and She SLAPPED me! S L A P P E D ME! IN MY FACE! Now, I have Autism. So naturally, I started to have a breakdown. I rushed to the schools support spot (it s a place where you can go if you have any special conditions.) and I rested there. Then I saw my friend there. Let s call her... Lisa. This is what happened: Lisa: hey Me: hey Lisa: why you here? Me: That dude from Dutch class slapped me and now I wanna die. Lisa: oh he slapped me too. Me: ... Lisa: in my neck Me: ... Lisa: and my arm. I ll update this post if anything happens tomorrow when I have her class again. Lisa was talking about a different teacher if your wondering what she meant 

Long ago, my mother once tried to fixed things by issung a super fake apology towards my bf over the phone. It didn't work. He caught her tone of voice and every single word. The words ''sorry if I treated you badly'' got included. The ''if'' is already a non-apology. Needless to say, he felt more upset and insulted. He would rather get no apology if it's not sincere. I would be upset too if someone didn't mean their apology. What would be worse to you? No apology at all (they person doesn't feel remorse) or fake apology? Politicians do this too. They issued insincere apologies.

I am 2 years older and covered for her trying drugs. A year into it I tattled on her cause she was doing them more then rare occasions. She was addicted by then it turned out. This was 2012. She stayed addicted and died at age 23 and had started with the recreational stuff at 15. I did not do drugs other then weed but many of my friends did so I assumed my sister was normal. Yet, I could have said something before it became an addiction. Also we were close as we both tried to escape our Dad's alcoholism by going places together. He died last year of liver failure. Now she is dead and I feel cause of me. I am afraid to remind my mother of all this and she left town day after the funeral and isn't returning phone calls other then texting to confirm she is alive. Will I feel guilty forever?

First off I love my sister and I  am proud of what she has overcome. At the age of 13 she was raped by 3 men walking home from her friends house.  When she was 15 she started drinking and getting into drugs (heroine and pills) we only caught this after she stole my moms pain killers. They sent her to rehab. She got better.  We then found out at 17 she was cutting herself and became anorexic.  Back to rehab. 20 drug overdose. 22 attempted suicide and alchohol problem. She was clean for 4 years then 2 year ago at 26 she voluntarily  entered rehab for opioids and heroine addiction again.  Apparently she met a man who convinced her to get into rehab while working as a waitress. He seems really stable and in love with her. He is getting her back into college. They got married a year ago. Last week she announced she is pregnant.  I know I should be happy for her but I am scared she will relapse and now she will have a kid and that would affect his life as well.  Am I an awful person for not being overjoyed at her announcement?

I'm going back and forth on it as he is dying in prison where he's been since 1988. 22 known victims he had and he never showed remorse.  

I'm sick of it.... so very done with his constant bad mood. We have 2 sets of twins and he's spent most of their lives just yelling and screaming about "fine, if they can't do it right then I'll just do it how I want it", so why should they bother doing any household chore when he gives them that attitude. Then he's pissed at me for not doing any household chores. I leave the house at 6:45am every week day, teach kindergarten and then race to my 2nd job (also with kids). I'm not getting home until after 7pm where I then eat dinner and go to bed. I also work all day Saturday and most of Sunday. I am never home and that pisses him off because the house isn't clean. Uh, when the hell am I supposed to get that done? He works 8-5 with an hour lunch M-F with weekends off. I don't even get a pee break, never mind a lunch break or weekends off! What the hell does he want from me!? I'm so done with him!

let me start off by saying, i don t have a good relationship with my mother. From my teenage years due to my step father presence. I m trying to work on my relationship with my mother in baby steps. However, every time she calls me it s for something to benefit her. Twice she ask me to take her out to a restaurants last month and when i get there she doesn't hold the door for me and when i sit with her she moves down a sit. Sometimes i think my mom is ashamed at me for not being a daughter she would like to have. I really don t like going anywhere with my mom but i still love her as my mother. Does this make any sense to anyone here?

Yes, I know yall might be thinking that this is a weird question and wondering why I'm yall asking this but hear me out first. 2 weeks ago (almost going to 3 weeks now) I got a 45 on my science test. My mom saw what I got on my test and took my phone away until I get good grades. This Monday, I saw many good grades in my science class and it proved that I improved my grades. Mom saw what I got on my grades and didn't even mention about my phone. I asked her twice if I can get my phone and she said no, even tho I already improved my grades. So basically she just lied to me. This is seriously getting ridiculous. I mean I haven't got my phone for like 2 weeks. I think that my mom is kind of taking this a bit too seriously because it's not really that of a big deal. It's about time that I get my phone back by now, because what if I really need it? 

I am 17 years old, I have baseball practice after school and a fast food job from 6 to closing time. I have to wait 20 minutes for a ride from my dad and sometimes I show up late to work. Once at closing time I had nobody to give me a ride, because my dad had fallen asleep so I had to wait an hour and a half for him to pick me up. My parents forbid me to drive, especially my mom, who cares for my safety. I've tried so much to convince my parents but they think I would drive under the influence. I've lost their trust from past times I would drink or smoke but not while driving. I would say my parents are crazy because in this case, I should have to have my license.

Her mom has dementia, and does the driving her dad doesn't see well, I told her to take the car away, if necessary, bring a police officer, they live in their own house. Ideas??
