| Question: I feel trapped... what do I do? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 02:52 PM PDT So I asked my roommate to pay me money she had owed me for months and she threw a fit and said she owed me nothing and had no idea what I was talking about and continued to tell me how she hated everything about me, that I was the cause of all of her problems, didn't want to be friends with me, and that I wasn't welcome in the house and needed to move out. I ended up moving out rapidly because I didn't feel safe living with her as she kept harassing me. I ended up moving in with a friend but have not been able to rent my room out despite letting my landlords know about the issue because they refuse to help even though I was basically forced to move out against my will due to safety concerns. My mom is paying for me to live at my new place and my dad is paying for the old one still but I can't tell him that I moved because I'm scared of how he'd react. He keeps asking me questions about why I'm spending so much money and is suspicious about if I'm still living at the previous house. When I had problems with the same roommate before that led to me being extremely anxious and depressed he told me it wasn't that bad and he didn't care and there's no reason why I couldn't stay there. I hate having to keep it from him but I just don't think he'll understand and will be extremely terrible to me if I tell him. What should I do? |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2020 02:48 PM PDT I live in Washington State.Should I be worried for my father in law and my grandparents in regards to the coronavirus? So my grandparents are in their 80s and my father in law is in his 70s. None of them suffers from chronic ilness or heart conditions or diabetes but it's a fact that this virus is more dangerous with the elderly. Now the thing is that they are all smart people and know that they shouldn't go outside in malls... stuff like that,but should I be worried that they won't make it thru it? |
| Question: Why do some families dont want to keep in contact? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 02:18 PM PDT my twin sister is the only one that will call me, my brothers wont call unless its my birthday or talk to me on theirs, they wont even send a card, i have cousins that used to email me but wont anymore, not sure why, i tried to send a message on facebook to my aunt cause my uncle is in a nursing home but she wont write back, they live in south america so its too far for me to visit them, i have other relatives in israel or even ny that refuse to call me and im not sure why, some of them wont even call my sister anymore, i never did anything to cause them to do that that i know of,my parents are gone so thats out, not sure why they wont act like family, any ideas? |
| Question: Why do I have these mean and disrespectful parents? Why life treats me this bad? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 02:06 PM PDT I am so jealous of people who have nice, caring and loving parents. My parents are really mean towards me and they never listen to me. I've been telling them for so long that my heart beats really fast sometimes and they cant care less and they dont want to take me to the doctor. Whenever I get sick they always yell at me and are REALLY mad at me for being sick and they never help me. I've been coughing and I think I've been having a tickle in the chest for a long time and they, instead of helping me, are yelling at me and get mad at me for coughing especially my dad, who is a big asshole, always puts me in a bad mood by yelling at me and sometimes hitting me if I cough.. I am afraid to cough in front of them.. I cant cough bc of them if I need to. I cant stand him and I really wish he would go to prison.. If I am having a cold, If I cough, If I have a high temperature.. they are always yelling at me and never try to help me. They also yell at me for not going out but what can I do when I have no friends? I am very lonely.. i fcking hate these people. I am their only child, why didnt my mom abort me if she didnt want me? I think they had another kid before me but mom aborted it.. everything I do annoys them and they expect me to be perfect and to never get sick. That is impossible.. I am really stressed out and I receive no love from these assholes.. they cause me too much stress and anxiety and they never take me seriously.. What did I do to have parents like these? 😭 |
| Question: Did I ruin all chances with my crush? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 01:54 PM PDT So basically i'm 17 and two years ago at my youth group school club I had a HUGE crush on a guy there who's a few years older then me and now he's basically a leader there as he's graduated but still goes to become friends with everyone and stuff and basically i used to harass him online and cyber stalk him 2 years ago because of my huge obsessive crush over the period of several months and eventually he reported me to the head leaders and i got in trouble so i stopped and i told the leaders to tell him i'm sorry and now 2 years later he is still avoiding me and won't talk to me directly ever at youth group. i was hoping some day he would talk to me, but these past few months i've been writing creepy troll stuff on his sister's friends yolo like that i have a crush on my crush's sister and she found out it's me and hates me and the friend hates me for it and thinks i'm a stalker and i'm worried my crush found out and i ruined chances more |
| Question: Why is my mother so controlling? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 01:35 PM PDT I am 26 now I've dealt with her control issues which I didn't discover she had til now and she still wants to run my life in a way I feel she ruined me in a way cuz my self esteem is shitty cuz she always made me feel like I wasn't good enough this is now affecting me and it's annoying I never knew she had these issues until my sister pointed it out and it finally made sense to me I am currently not living under her roof because she is driving us apart and even being elsewhere she still finds a way to manipulate and control my life the most messed up part about it all is she is my adoptive mother and her controlling is ridiculous I can't take it anymore I don't understand her issue or even why she chose to do this.. what should I do? |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2020 12:52 PM PDT So I was talking to my best friend today and I never thought about it but he was saying that he has never met his father because his parents separated before he was born. I just thought about all of the father-son things that I did with my dad like going camping, going hiking, shooting a gun, and tons of other stuff, and how he never got to have that experience because he never had his father around. I was wondering if some of these things would be neat ideas of things to do with him since he never had a father to take him out to do that kind of stuff. Stuff like camping and other things that fathers do with their sons. Things that I enjoyed doing with my dad but he never got the chance to experience. Is this a good idea? |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2020 12:32 PM PDT Obviously, the daughter overheard her mother saying that to her friend(s) who she was speaking to at the house or over the phone, thus the old saying "Stay out of grown folks' business." Was the mother wrong for not being careful of her surroundings, particularly her daughter, when she's having a conversation? Or was she wrong for [supposedly] not teaching her daughter about being considerate of other's feelings when hearing mean-spirited things? |
| Question: How can I help my mom? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 11:52 AM PDT My mom is almost 60 and has medical issues (some are more life threatening than others) and she can't seem to put her foot down to my little sisters. They're 17 and are spoiled rotten and are inconsiderate to others. While my mom constantly complains to me about them being dirty and not cleaning up, driving them all over town, and making them do their school work. All she says goes in one ear and out the other with them. It's like they keep doing the things that she complains about, basically not caring. I feel as though they are killing her slowly and I fear that because I love my mom and would do anything for her...but she just won't stop spoiling them. Why doesn't she care enough about her health? Why does she constantly keep putting herself in these stressed out situations if she doesn't have to? I sometimes sit and look at her and she doesn't even look happy. She looks drained and tired...it's sad asf :( My question is basically, I need advice on what to do about this situation. (And yes, I brought this up to my 17 year old sisters and my mom, they don't seem to care) should I keep forcing it or let it go? |
| Question: My dad is asking me for money... what should I do? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 11:18 AM PDT I'm 21. My dad is on vacation right now with his wife and her family. I didn't get invited. I just moved into a new apartment with my S/O yesterday. Working as a delivery driver until I'm done with school. My dad has never payed child support or helped me or my mom financially in anyway. He is there for me emotionally and we had good times growing up. He lived off my Gma and she recently passed (RIP nana💕) and his sister sold the house. He is living off his wife now. He called me asking for 100$ and that I have to link my bank acc to PayPal and send it to him. He didn't say please, instead he said "he hates to do this.." I just told my mom and I'm scared she is going to yell at him. My mom is okay to me although we aren't close anymore and she favors my sister and her grandchildren I still love my parents and want a relationship with both but it feels like I somehow have no parents. It's worried he will not be in my life I don't give it to him. All I want is a normal healthy family and I feel so alone. Part of me just wants to cut off all communication to my parents because they drain me and are both so selfish. (My S/O sees it too.) but I can't help that I do love them so much. What should I do? |
| Question: I don't feel love for my child? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 10:31 AM PDT I feel like I don't love my child. Anytime I think about hugging him etc. it makes my stomach turn. I just plainly don't like him or love him at all. It is really a sickening feeling and I hate feeling this way. I just hate the way that he is. He is a skilled manipulator, an outright liar, thief, poor values / morals, doesn't care for himself. After years of trying to put him on the right track, I feel that it is just useless and it has sucked any feelings I had for him dry. I know that the easy thing to say here is that I'm "a terrible parent" or that I "should have raised him differently". But just know that I have done absolutely everything in my power to try to fix this situation, i have been an excellent parent that has always gone above and beyond for my son. It is just the fact that it was all for nothing that creates my resentment and hate for him. I know there has to be at least 1 other person out there that feels the way I do. |

| Question: My 1st cousin is pregnant. Should I care about her? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 08:09 AM PDT |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2020 07:39 AM PDT She betrayed her husband obviously but also traumatized her children by it. We see her and are perfectly nice to her but we are no longer close to her. This all happened in 2004 and 2005. She and my mother used to be like sisters now they're like distant cousins or second rate cousins. |
| Question: Since my sister and I are estranged do I have to wish her a happy birthday? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 07:32 AM PDT |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2020 05:02 AM PDT For example: like drinking and smoking and getting hurt or hurting themselves and not remembering what happened and then it happen again another time. |
| Question: How did my sisters know that the thought is from inspector Rex about throats? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 05:01 AM PDT I wrote a message to my sister one time on Facebook that I will slit her throat when I was angry when she yelled and that is from the show inspector Rex which I'm obsessed with and both of sisters knew that it was from watching the show. How are they smart? |
| Question: My grandma always hated me? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 12:28 AM PST She still hates me she always tells me I'm nothing to her and that my sister is the one she cares about. She is 94 and I'm the only one that cares for her I go to her house every day and cook for her. She doesnt like to eat alone so I sit and eat with her. She is always saying I'm ugly, fat, etc. She says my sister has always been prettier and why didnt I follow in my sister's footsteps. I love her and I cry everytime I visit her but I cant stop I love her too much. I never show me crying. I know she is old but it hurts, my sister never visits her. What do I do? |
| Question: Do I help my grandma or let her help? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 11:27 PM PST My grandma is 89 years old it's me and my brother. We are her only grandkids. We have 2 other uncles but one passed away from suicide and the other got stuck on drugs and is mentally ill now. I go to her house after work everyday to cook dinner for everyone but lately she has been starting to cook without me and I thought maybe she is hungry and I get out too late. She said she just wants to help and she has been throwing the trash out herself too. Throwing the trash where she lives requires walking to the front of the neighborhood which is like half a mile. She has also been starting to do the side dishes and heating up tortillas. She waits for everyone to get there to eat and I want to tell her to leave it to me I will do everything but I dont want to make her feel useless either. What do I do? |

| Question: Why do we usually take our fathers last name? ? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 08:15 PM PST It just makes it seem the father is the only one that matters. |
| Question: I don’t want my in laws around my daughter any opinions? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 07:49 PM PST so The only problem is his family and I. His siblings have never liked me or talked to me. I've had conflict with them because they always feel entitled to interfere between our relationship and with our baby! His siblings always talked about me behind my back, never greeted me whenever they would come by,and have always been standoffish throughout the years I've been with my boyfriend. Baby is 3 months and they never make an effort to come at to our home and meet the baby because they don't like me. But they expect my boyfriend to take the baby to them. And I feel like it's their responsibility as aunts and uncles to come to the baby not the baby go to them. So the sister was planning a trip to go to Mexico with my boyfriend and take my daughter with them including my boyfriend but the problem is they didn't even bother to ask me when I am the mom and I don't feel comfortable letting my baby go out of state without me and I also didn't like the fact that she is trying to make decisions for my baby without my consent as a mother to where and when my own baby has to go. So I confronted her and She said it's nun of my business about what they talk about among themselves but yet that conversation is involving my CHILD and I thought that was disrespectful. They are very toxic I even have had anxiety because of their negativity and I don't want my child around anyone who doesn't like me or anywhere I'm not welcomed. Am I in the wrong for not letting the baby around them ? |
| Question: Was I wrong for this? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 07:07 PM PST My sister had a baby reveal party at restaurant. My parents are divorced I went to the reveal party with mom. Who insisted before hand that she was not going to be ordering any food because my family was going to be there and that she was going to leave early. Later she asked me to pay for her meal. I told her no problem. She showed me what she ordered. Which I have no problem paying for it. She gets another thing on the menu then proceeds to complaint about the bill being over charged. When I tried to explain to her that our bill was higher because she ordered a different meal my dad tried explaining it as well. She then says she thought it was something different after we showed her. She gets mad and tells me she will pay for her own bill then tells me I cannot believe I brought up her price in the restaurant in front of others, I was trying to explain to her why the bill was high. I think she felt bad my father tried to explain and started shaking his head. After this she asks my sister who takes the bill and pays for hers plus my mom. I tried to apologize to my mom in the car she says not mad. Got defensive with me. She kept saying she was ready to go while I paying for my meal. I told her the waitress just took my card and she looked right at her. Also she says does not want to talk about it anymore, but will probably bring the subject up later and try to make feel shame about this. I guess my question is was I wrong in this situation? |
| Question: Please tell me if im wrong about this health issue and my mom? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 06:39 PM PST My mother is 60 no mental health issues. I am currently very ill and cant leave my bed, I have 4 kids 11/8/6/4. I ask if she would please make my kids food with the food from the fridge. (dont order delivery) She used her hand/arm down to the elbow to stir the macaroni (cold) instead of using a spoon. My son came and told me because it grossed him out. I called her in my room and asked if she had washed her hands before cooking. She got very angry, screamed "how dare you?! Like im some diseased person!" then stormed out. I find this disgusting, she never washes her hands, like not at all even after using the bathroom. She coughs and urinates a little but refuses to change her clothes saying "it will dry" then sits on my furniture. She only bathes about 2 times a year and she weighs 330lbs and is 4'11" so shes short and quite large and in the summer not bathing... its a nasty combo. Anyway am I wrong for asking/requesting she wash up before cooking my families food? Again I am a stay at home mother, cook clean ect daily and every meal. I am currently bedridden with a severe infection so I cant get up so please dont answer "you can and should just cook" |
| Question: How do I overcome the shame of being a 2nd rate relative? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 06:00 PM PST 2nd rate meaning I'm not close like everyone else is due to reasons outside my control. |
| Question: Why are young people taking so long to grow up and mature these days? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 04:39 PM PST For example, half my family (extended) is 30+ years old and still live with their parents and are financially supported by their parents. My cousin is 31 and plays video games all day and is unemployed and hasn't had a job in his entire life. My other cousin is 30 years old and she works making minimum wage at a pet store working 20 hours a week and has never had a boyfriend before and plays video games all day too. My step sister is 34 and has gone back to college 3 times to get different degrees and is still unemployed after getting her third degree and is in over 100k in debt with useless degrees in psychology, sports and exercise science, and business administration and still lives at home with parents. My other stepsister is 33 and addicted to drugs and is unemployed and being supported by her boyfriends family |
| Question: Should a mother in law say such a thing? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 04:32 PM PST To keep it simple my husband and I were having a disagreement. My mother in law got involved and told me she thinks her son will resent me... She has said other terrible things to me in the past but I want someones take on this one.. I think she over stepped her bounderies big time and I have no desire to have a relationship with her but she acts like she has said or done nothing wrong and continues to pretend to want to be best friends. Just always giving unwanted opinions and I can't take it anymore. |
| Question: Do you love your spouse or kid(s) more? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 04:21 PM PST My dad said that he would pick my mom in a heartbeat but what do you other parents think? |
| Question: Things to do with mom? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 03:44 PM PST i haven't seen my mom in a year (occupational hazard) and i'm finally going home for a week. i'm blocking out a day with her, just the two of us. all i have planned is a pedicure bc that was a thing we used to do every few weeks when i lived at home. what should we do? i'm from a smaller city so cool things may be limited. |
| Question: How do I convince my parents to let me be vegan? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 03:15 PM PST Now, first off, I'm 23 so my parents don't technically have control over it... only they do because I'm in between jobs and they buy my food. And second, I just don't like how meat tastes, but I'm forced to eat it for protein. Third, I don't want a single ounce of hate. I have reasons to want to do this. But I can't express them to my parents for the most part because they're judgmental af. If they don't agree with my point of view, then that makes my opinion wrong. It's an opinion. Opinions can be flawed, but they can't be wrong. And yet they make me feel so small, wrong when they disagree with me. I wanna move out, but it's hard because I can't find a job. I'm in a small town. I'm working on my GED so I can MOVE OUT. But it's taking longer than I wanted. UGH. SOMEBODY HELP!? |
| Question: Best way to deal with moody teenager? Posted: 07 Mar 2020 03:02 PM PST My wife and I are having a difficult time with our 15-year-old daughter, an only child. It's been this weird shift in attitude. She was pretty respectful at 13 & 14, once 15 hit, it was like a whole new kid came into the house. Everything is a battle, if we ask her to do the dishes, she acts like we asked her to repair a space station. Asking her to keep the room semi-tidy is seen as, " a total waste of f**king time". Getting her to sit down to do homework is a battle as well, as it's " not important" and " nobody cares". Fights over what is and is not appropriate to wear happen all too often. They're clothes she buys with money saved up from chores, but most of the time they're obscene and " everybody wears this now, it's fine" becomes the reasoning. How I was raised, my parents did more, " let's sit down, calmly discuss the problem and the solution", which worked for me. When I try that with my daughter, she refuses eye contact, rolls her eyes, scoffs, constantly asks if I'm done talking. My wife's more the screaming and cussing, which is only causing screaming and cussing from our daughter in return. We take the phone, we ground, we take the laptop, nothing really works. |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2020 02:42 PM PST This isn't the situation with childhood curiosity. They were in a room alone and my nephew forced my son to do things he did not want to do. My son even told him no, then my nephew threatened to spread bad things about him if he did not comply, so my son did what he was told. These things involved touching and oral with both. Our son told my husband and I 6 months after the fact. When we contacted his parents, they told us the same things happened to my nephew from boys in the neighborhood. My nephew also has severe ADHD and recently shoved my son into a freezing cold pool during the family Thanksgiving because he had an "urge". He felt remorse, but due to all of this, especially the molesting, I do not want my nephew around my son or my other children at all. However, my husband and in laws think I am overreacting and think that adult supervision wherever they are at is enough and, after all, they're just kids and we are family so we can't separate family. I'm all alone in my thinking. So.. am I overreacting? How would you handle this situation? |
