how do i look like 

I try not to use the word "hate" because it's such a strong word but the more I think about it, I actually believe I hate my family. After years of being verbally abused, bullied, disrespected and used I feel no need to continue a relationship with them. I have tried everything, literally everything, and they continue to mook me and treat me badly. My need to be included in the family has caused my husband, kids and grandkids to subjected to the same mistreatment.  I am the youngest of 10, and the only sibling with a different father so I don't share many of the similar features they all have. I'm the tallest, they all have "good hair" and I don't, I inherited gap teeth and vericous viens from my biological fathers' family. All of those things made me an easy target growing up.  Now at 46 years old, I've finally realized that I don't have to deal with their bullshit. In the past, I tried talking to several of them individually hoping to resolve issues but it always turned into more drama. So after a recent incident, I stopped taking calls, I stopped interacting on social media, I haven't attended any family functions and I don't go to any public places where I may run into someone. I want to completely disconnect from my dysfunctional, disrespectful, mean, ignorant family.  The problem is, they won't take the hint. They keep leaving me long voice mails, texting me, sending messages through facebook and instagram, popping up at my house, etc. What should I do???? mock me not mook me, lol

For example my mom was mad at her in-laws the year my grandmother was dying and so we could not go to her final Christmas even though we visited her separate Christmas Eve. I was so hurt by that and I've never forgiven my dad for caving to my moms demands. My mom was having a mental illness crisis so I'm able to forgive her but not my dad. Another example was my mom's sister turned on her son after a divorce because the sun was close to his father still. Well my aunt was wrong it was not my battle and yet my dad made me stay away from my aunt to make a statement to her about her bitterness to her own son. He punished me for aunts narcissism and yet now five years later my dad's nice to that aunt. There are many other cases like this. I was banned from seeing my grandfather as a little kid because he was an alcoholic. My mother thought by keeping us kids away it would motivate him to go sober. And yet I was disadvantaged by it. So how do I explain this hurt to my parents for the sake of future fights they have with their siblings? I'm an adult but they still try to bring me into it every time they can.

What kind of house works did your mother and father do when you were a child?

It's kind of sad but also special. It's like April 22, 1997 which was the date my parents divorced. My mom was sad and yet full of gossip that excited me at the same time. Or it's like the day of a burial where it is sad but we knew it was coming and we move on with remembrance. Yeah there's no funeral or anything so it's more like divorce. How do I mark this momentous occasion? i'll still see my Dad and on rare occasions my sister but my sister and I will not speak and my father I'll be nice to but distance from. My mom and her father were the same way. My case it's because of my dad's arrogance and my mom's case it was because her father was an alcoholic.

My mom, my sister and I all have learning disabilities but my oldest brother and my middle sister doesn't have it. My son is almost a year old... could he have it too since a few of us have it in my family? I'm not sure about my sons dad side of the family 

My brother's wife has large boobs. She likes to show a LOT of cleavage. Strangely, my brother is OK with that. At our parent's home, she will bend over in front of me and say "Don't look at my boobs". How could I not look at them when they are 6 inches away from my face? I just say "OK". That is really strange behavior. Other times she will bend over in front of me to give me something and then say "Did something come up". I always truthfully tell her no. I have NO sexual interest in my brother's wife EVER. I wonder why she is acting this way. Is she flirting with me or possibly just teasing me? Anyone have any ideas why she is doing this to me?

I am 23 years old. There are points in time when my parents call me on the phone that they will talk over the top of me, and not let me get a word in when we have to have a discussion about something tough. Or they will say "You are making a big deal out of nothing," or "You have nothing to be upset about." I have to hang up at certain points because they just get to be too much for me, and then when I do, they get mad and tell me I'm being disrespectful and a "chicken" for not wanting to talk. My dad has even gone so far as to say not to call him ever again. It almost feels like they are shoving all of the blame onto me and it leaves me feeling upset and overwhelmed most days. Am I overreacting? Just so frustrated and hurt.

I live in Virginia and there is no telling if the virus will have died down by June or if it is going to get much worse. 

I've been playing the piano since I was 6 years old (I'm 18 now). I think I'd classify as an intermediate player. My family, except for my dad, isn't very supportive. We have a piano in the living room, and our apartment isn't large . I know that my entire family does not enjoy it when I play from the sound of the doors slamming and the TV volume in the bedrooms getting higher. I got used to that, as well as the "please don't play now, my head hurts and I just got home". What hurts the most is whenever I participate in piano concerts, they always come and bring flowers and put on a smiling face in public. Usually, I try to practice piano when nobody's home, based on my class schedule. If I have free time for example before 3 p.m, when everybody else gets home, I practice then so I can practice comfortably without bothering anyone. This school semester, however, I am only free when everyone else is. My mom comes home from work at the same time that I finish classes. This has been a burden in so many ways. She yells at me to stop every single time. Not once or twice. Every time I play when she's there, practicing for my weekly lessons, she yells and tells me how much she hates it, how she spends all day at work to come home to "this", how much she wishes I'd just quit already and save the money my dad (happily) spends on lessons. Note that my mom doesn't go out after work, so practicing when she's not home is not an option because she's always home. What should I do?

My son has my last name and his father is not on the birth certificate How do i get full custody papers on my son to give to his school?

Hello. My daughter (17) has a friend (17) who I feel is in a bad situation for lack of a better word. For the sake of privacy, I'll call her Katie. Katie's parents have taken her house key and for the past two weeks she has to sit outside from noon to 4 or 5 o'clock in the evening when her parents get off work and can let her in. Since this has started, I pick her up from school and take her to my house so she's not forced to be outside for 4-5 hours. If I wasn't lucky enough to be a stay at home mom this poor girl wouldn't have any food or a place to get ready for work. I think this is cruel and something I could never picture me or any parent doing to their child. I have tried expressing my concern to Katie's mother, but she responds with "She needs to learn" or something along those lines. Katie turns 18 in about a month but I was wondering if there's anything I could do now to help the situation? Is there someone I could call? I do not believe that there is any abuse going on but I think this completely unacceptable. 

My mom told me that it confuses her when I call him by his name so she would like me to call her "dad" but I don't want to do that.

I am a seven year old boy and I am wondering why my parents are fighting. I was walking into my parents room around 10:00 and I saw my mother on top of my father bouncing over and over again. I kept watching because I wanted to know why they were fighting and then my father started to choke my mother it was crazy! I am just wondering why my parents are fighting and if I can do anything to help them. Thanks

Example: when a child/young adult living with them say "this stuff need to be given away to Salvation Army" they say "I'm tired just wait I'll get it i been working hard everyday" and never do it but buy more things to put in one room and throw things into that room. And even when there's a child/youn adult offering to clean it gets messy again.

At what age does the voice begin to change typically?

I am 20 and it is just she and I, no contact with the outside world for 2-4 weeks. We get along great but just curious what we should do to occupy our time. My Dad and sibs can't get near us. We are in a medical hotel and we feel fine. We have no TV here due to a power outage. We may have it back by Friday.

When I was a kid, my father remarried a woman who at first was nice to me, buying toys for me and going shopping together. All that changed once she married my dad.  She used to force me to wear clothes that were extremely baggy on me or else I was a wh*re and she would make me clean the whole house the moment I entered my dads place. If I didn't do as I was told, she would tell my dad so that he could yell at me. There's so much more that she's done to me that I don't feel comfortable talking about. As an adult, her actions has caused me to have no self esteem about my looks (because of the constant "you're fat and ugly comments), me loathing religion in general (she made me only watch Christian shows when my dad's at work while she plays online games), and I have a hard time trusting people.  Was I truly a survivor of emotional abuse or am I just over reacting? 

When I was born she was 18 and he was 27.

my parents never notice when I do chores but always notice when I don't What  is the point of doing something if they do not notice it's not my fault my parents do not have money to hire a maid. Maybe middle class and poor people should not have kids. We are not all content with being middle class  I don't care abot chores, why would I applaud.

Most of the time it's easy to ignore them. However, that's  near impossible when you live with one! What makes me upset is that the person in question(my Mother) has influence over/power in  my life where She previously had none. But because I had a stroke and am currently incapacitated and living with Her, Her stupidity often encroaches in my daily life. She does have a severe form of dyslexia, but it's not JUST that. She lacks overall logic as well. For example, She decided (with the pastor's wife) to pray to Jesus to help Her lose weight. Never mind that She never exercises, doesn't watch calories, and  chows down on high calorie snacks. That's just one example of many. Another gem is when She literally threw a tantrum that I'd lose my salvation if I went to a J.K Rowling movie. On a daily basis She says or does dumb things. Not to mention the woman  has never supported Herself in Her adult(he's 56) life. She sits around, overspends  my Father's hard earned money, and is nearly intolerable. How  should I deal with this troll until I can re-establish my own life?
