16 year old girl who never goes out is going on vacation with aunt. dad gives girl 50$ to spend on vacation. once on vacation aunt and girl go shopping. girl has already spent 35$ while there, and they arrive at a store and girl sees a pair of 8.99 sunglasses she loves but also wants to buy her dad a hat which also cost 8.99, but she doesn't have enough money for both. aunt tells her to put back the shades but she says she wants to buy the shades and get her dad something from the "everything 1.99" store. (which is right nextdoor) aunt gets very mad, but they go to the discount store. she then sees a shirt she thinks her dad will love for 2$ and the aunt goes off yelling saying how ugly and gross the shirt is, and how the dad won't like it. aunt storms out of store and girl begins to cry at the cash register. the next morning girl asks nicely for aunt to aplogize but she refuses and calls the girl selfish and says she only cried because she wanted attention. who's in the wrong? ps. this is the whole story. this is not a one sided version. this is everything that happened.

I am 31 years old, married, with a child and my father won't even acknowledge my wife or child, and calls my wife my "friend" and has never even said hello to my son at family gatherings and my son is nearly 4 years old. He lectures me constantly about working a "stupid job" as an engineer and says I should be working as a coal miner like he did because he wasnt a "pussy" like I am. Every time he comes over to my house, he insists that my wife and son leave and then he proceeds to totally rearrange my entire house to fit his liking and says that he likes it better "his way" after moving about 10 pieces of furtniature and putting all of my clothes in a different closet that he "likes better". Then he proceeds to yell at me because I moved everything back from the last time he came over and rearranged everything. I've tried to remove him from my life by moving, but he moved to where I moved 3 states away and followed me and I can't get him out of my life.

So we're in the process of moving out of dorms for the corona virus and it kinda was added to our spring break. My roommate and I are very close so before I left for spring break I took a can of one of her hairsprays and a sanitizer and thought I would put it back when I got back. except I didn't come back. I'm going back on Sunday to move out and she's moving out tomorrow and I'm EXTREMELY worried that she'll notice it's gone and immediately look to me. The hand sanitizer is not rlly obvious but the hairspray idk. She's never used it so I just thought I could borrow it. I KNOW it was wrong , I ask her for everything else but please don't judge me but what should I do , should I just joe she dosent see it? She probably won't since she'll be moving everything else out 

So I forgot to close my room door (and my dads room is connected to mine) and my dad yelled at me for selfishly leaving the door open and waking him up with the tv noise.

My mom's been dating a guy way younger than her (he's 27, she's 43). They've been dating for about a year. I've had concerns about my mom jumping into a relationship that's doomed to fail due to their age difference/differences in maturity/differences in stages of life. Furthermore, I think my mom's horniness is causing her to not be able to think clearly about this. In the past I tried pointing out these concerns to my mom, but she insists there's not a maturity difference (even though I think there is one) and that age is just a number. She also says she's viewing this with a clear head and there's a lot more to their relationship than sex (I never said there wasn't. I just said the sex part was clouding her understanding) Anyways, a few days ago my mom and her boyfriend announced that 1) they're engaged and 2) she's pregnant (I do know for a fact the pregnancy was planned BTW). Given that the relationship is more than likely going to last at least a decent while and they're going to have a kid together I've decided I want to be as supportive as I can be. Despite my concerns, I do recognize that he is a really sweet guy who treats her very well. I also know that my mom hasn't been with a nice guy in a very long time (my father was verbally abusive and a little physically abusive). In a lot of ways I want this to work out, but (as I stated before) I've had my doubts. (More to read) On top of my legitimate doubts, I think the age gap is plain weird. My boyfriend is 24 years old, which means he's only 3 years younger than her boyfriend. I'm closer in age to her boyfriend than she is. I've heard them have sex a few times, and the age gap just makes me want to vomit. I actually want to stop feeling like it's weird, but I don't know how to. Given the circumstances, how can I best be supportive despite my doubts about the relationship and how weird I think it is? Is there any way for me to stop being weirded out by it? If so how?

He gets mad when I acknowledge anything making me nervous and he refuses to give any sympathy.

My sister was dumped my her husband of 10 years for a woman much younger than she was. The house sold and she had to move but her apartment would not be ready for 2 weeks so she is temporally staying with my husband and me. As expected she is depressed and has a very low self esteem. Trying to help her I asked my husband to tell her she is still beautiful and appealing to men. He did not want to do it but I insisted and that was what he told her. BIG MISTAKE. She thought he was flirting with her and she has been flirting with him ever since. He has been trying to avoid her but it is hard when she is living here. He wants me to tell her to back off. His is not interested in her in any way. I think he should tell her so I will remain good friends with her. Please give me your opinion. Who should tell her? My husband says the faster she leaves our house the better.

Regarding the Coronavirus I ask this of course. At first they were saying 4-6 weeks we needed to worry. Now they are saying 18 months and beyond which means up to a year and a half (end of 2021).

I've lived with my fiancé for 3 years now so there's no reason as to why he hasn't/or asked me common sense questions that he as a male may not know. For example:  We went to his mothers house the other day for dinner and as he was making something extra for himself in the kitchen. While I'm sitting directly across from his mother from the couch he yells across the room to his mother "HEY MA SHOULD I USE OIL OR BUTTER?" She then answers.. I let it go, but then he continues to ask silly questions when I cook for this man every night and he watches me cook. It makes me feel and look stupid in front of his mother like his soon to be wife doesn't know ****, when obviously I've pleased this man for years, and he knows I'm more than intelligent in the kitchen.  Is it wrong to confront him that it makes me look bad?

Hi, so I'm in a strange predicament. As we all know, the world is going through some tough times with this pandemic. The place I work has now closed except for people who must go in, so me and my team are working from home. I work in the creative industries so I have a Mac with me that I took from work when the office closed, as well as a bunch of hard drives.  It's looking like this closure might go on for months rather than weeks, and I live alone. I'd love to be able to go back to my family home at some point just to be around people and not go crazy, but my boss isn't keen on the idea as I'll have to take all this stuff with me with important data on it (my family home is a few hours away by car) What should I do? I'm fine for now, but inevitably I'll want to go home and I'm anxious about that conversation arising again and disappointing my colleagues. Do I stay here for work despite the craziness unfolding and the loneliness? I'm panicking a bit, I don't know what's more important here. I don't want my job to be affected. Thanks  Edit: my family are all safe. I haven't left my house in nearly a week, neither have they, so we wouldn't be putting each other at risk.  Another edit: I'm not thinking about leaving anytime in the next week. By the time I go, it would be at least 14 days of self isolating, so I would be safe to go. My parents are also self isolating, so that doesn't come into it. This is about self preserving my sanity by not being alone for what could be months. 

So my 12 year old brother has had the same nasty dry cough for a year now, which is a follow up to his stuffy nose that lasted around 2 years.  My mom had neglected to take him to a doctor because she's convinced herself it's nothing to worry about and she tends to ignore problems when they arise.  I've spent months trying to get her to take him to some kind of specialist but she just won't.  I'm really concerned for him, especially with this virus thing happening right now. He also spends around 8-10 hours a day playing xbox and is extremely overweight.  I can't continue to watch my mom neglect him.  What can I do as his 17 year old sister? 

I am 28 years old, a teacher's assistance, and still live with my parents. I just got accepted to an X-ray tech program starting this summer. I dated this guy for a few weeks and I ended up getting pregnant with his child. He made it clear he wanted nothing to do with me so I am alone on what to do. I signed up to get an abortion because growing up, my parents made it clear how they hated children, they don't want me to have any, and if i did, they would kick me out. Once I came forward letting them know what was going on, they had a "serious" talk with me, both drunk and told me off, calling me names, cursing at me and saying if I wanted the baby, I'm out of the house. My dad, he's my step dad, mentioned how he will never speak to me again. He has daughter who he hasn't spoken to in a very long time and he told me he Isn't afraid to cut me off too. They also mentioned that I will be responsible for a potential divorce, the family falling apart, and other mean things. They know I have no where else to go for now until I make more money, so they chose for my body to get an abortion. The next day I expressed how their words hurt me and they felt terrible and apologized. I really don't want the abortion. I want this baby and I don't expect them to help me raise but to just help me by not kicking me out. If they do, idk what to do, or why they feel they need to run my life and body. It's been like that since I was 13 when my mom first met my step dad.

So im in community college and well im in my second year about to transfer hopefully, but something has been reallt bugging me, i noticed that my mother only picks me to help her with her problems, like her errands or anything like that. And it wouldnt be a problem but i have an older brother who doesnt do anything but complain and study, me i want to but i cant becuase after helping my mom i feel no energy to even study. Meanwhile my mom and brother always ask me do u have homework or you dont study enough and well im not confrontaional like my oldee brother is im more calm and patient but idk what to do anymore ive kinda feel like college is now pointless for me all i want is to work and find my own place. Also while studying theres too much distractions and favors my mom asks me to do. So idk. Any help will be appreciated thank you. 

Advice: if you are living with someone and they have helped out a lot but are affecting your walk with Christ what would you do?

I live in my car, and I am 6,000 km away. She keeps telling to go home, and literally she is like worrying too much and emailing me. 

I mix olive brine in my martinis. Love it so good. My husband gets mad at me because it dries up the olives. I punched him in the face so hard. I hate him so much and my stupid kids I just want to get drunk and stop being a ******* parent 

My mother has hurt me far more then the alcoholic father.

I am mad at myself. My Dad lied and said to go when he went in the winter and then come winter he said "just kidding" as he was going to see someone with my mother elsewhere and broke the promise. We were going to be going out for a wedding this May so that was going to be the trip. Now the wedding is postponed indefinitely by the Coronavirus outbreak. I was going to travel out solo this summer and screw going with my father but now they are saying the country will be on shutdown through the end of the year by the Coronavirus. My guess is the great-aunt will die and it will be her funeral before I am out there. How do I forgive myself and let go of my anger at myself? I should have gone last summer but I believed my Dad's lie for the 2nd year in a row.

Knowing that the "abused" mother has abandoned her daughter at 6 months. The daughter had to live with her in her 20's for a valid reason. 

how can I get through to her that my feelings are valid and that she's being abusive?  I've tried everything I've tried every approach and nothing gets through to her.  I love her and I don't want to break up our family.  I just don't know how long I can keep getting invalidated.  At some point she has to realize there's no possible way  she can always deflect and blame me every time and excuse at all because she thinks I've treated her so poorly even though I've accepted responsibility for my wrongdoings apologized for them and made efforts change my behaviors.  Even my kids can see it and it frustrates them they've expressed it to me but I don't think they've said anything to her I don't want them to get involved it's not their place.

I moved into a wonderful apartment Memorial Day weekend. You see I have a complicated medical history which includes panhypopituitarism and for a few years now type 1 diabetes. I had the time of my life except I was very lonely but I saw my dog every day because I walked over to take care of him because my family tends to do a poor job of taking care of him. In fact, I was on the verge of bringing him to my apartment. You see my doctor said the only way she would let me live alone is if we used the DexcomG5. It was a very stressful time because it would go off at 3 am with lows and say I was extremely high during the day. I would not usually feel any symptoms for either one and anything I felt was usual for me as in headaches, blurry vision, hunger, etc. At my next few appointments, my doctor said my A1C went up a little but I had done better than she thought even though I admitted to both my doctor and my counselor I had been stress eating due to my family yelling at me over tiny things like not throwing away my green needle cap. I was forced to move out wy I'm not really sure but for some reason, my family won't let me be independent at all. My mom insists on doing every food but yet complains about all the work she has to do along with taking care of me even though I want to be independent. I offer and get yelled at. Now for some reason, she won't give me the dang birth control package and Synthroid container. I see a very bleak future. 

I'm going to pay off my traffic tickets so I can get my driver's license back and stock up on food and disinfectant wipes.
