Anything I do is a fight. I'm a 26 year old man who unfortunately still lives with her.  Honestly I'm kind of scared to leave.  Anyway, as time has gone on, it keeps getting worse. I don't have a car/liescense because she didn't like my attitude. That's been a BIG fight since 2009. I can't drink beer SOMETIMES (not even daily or enough to get drunk) because my dad was a drunk and her stepfather was an abusive drunk...which obviously means I am the same way... Alcohol is a big deal to her, but not to the point of I'm not allowed to have like Budweiser advertising (I collect memorabilia and stuff)from the gas station, just can't drink it...without it being a HUGE FIGHT.  If I go certain places, she has a **** fit. Today she tried to record me on her phone camera to show "how much disrespect I have"  I'm just sick of being treated like a dumbass child. It hurts, it's like ANYTHING I want to do, I need clearance from her, and it's a fight 95% of the time, so I don't even ask. I'm so tired of it.

Ok so my uncle is blind and has ALOT of mental health issues, he has always been very creepy about women and me and my sister, he always asks to touch us, and not like a normal blind person would ask you know like "can I touch your face to figure out what you look like?" It's always "can I feel your love handles?" "Your skin is calling me" "i just want to hit you and see what your skin sounds like" those are only a few examples of the creepy **** he says, and on many occasions he has attempted to grab me and has grabbled my sister many times, it makes us super uncomfortable but grandma doesn't say a word, he's always been super spoiled and gets away with everything, he's been quite a terror in our lives and we always feel uneasy visiting our grandparents, we are always afraid he will grab us or touch us, my grandma doesn't see that this behavior is abnormal, am I crazy? Or would this stuff count as sexual harassment?? His mental health is no excuse 

My dad likes to stay up late at night, and a couple months ago I found out that he was broadcasting pornhub to the basement tv. See I get a notification whenever someone on the wifi is broadcasting, so I have gotten those notifications whenever I stay up late. Then today I was looking for the flour for some baking, and I found a little brown bag. It smelled really bad so I held the bag upside down on the basement table. Out came a lighter, some sort of pill looking box, and some sort of little package thin bag thingy. My brother was the only 1 in the room with me, and he read the thin package bag, and showed me it said it contained marijuana. I put all the stuff back, but I don't know what to do. I feel like he is hiding too many things from us, but he is my father and I love him, and I don't want to cause any drama. Should I just mind my own business, or should I tell my mom, or should I sneak around and see what's really going on?

I met this guy when I was 14 years old, across the table in the cafeteria. This past year in 2019 (i am 21 now) we finally got to reconnect after he joined the military. We started dating and everything has gone well, although we do have our off and on moments of struggle and preparing of things. We are currently at a community college together, he said I had inspired him to go to college. I am about to graduate in the spring, and going to a University. He will be graduating next spring and said he didn't plan on going to a university. I told him I was going to move to (a far town) and attend my favorite university once I graduate... Today he gave me news, that he chose to go to my same university I am moving to next fall. Meaning he will be moving in the following semester, the spring, to my university.. why would he go to my same university? Currently, we are not dating, we are repairing things, specifically our communication because it's been kind of off. He is working on getting me back. Although we've still talked and have stayed close.

I understand that sometimes I am the cause of Her frustration, but honestly She loses patience quickly sometimes. It gets even worse if She has not been allowed ample time to lay around the house and do nothing. Even Her Sister has commented on how lazy She is. For example, if I actually need to run an errand, God forbid I ask Her to help me finish it before noon(to which She often sleeps) I usually have to wait several hours for Her while She loafs around the house, before we are finally "able," to leave. This woman considers regular cleaning, and self maintenance to be "work!" On top of the fact that She earns no money, She mis-spends my Father's hard earned money. I liken it to a kid that has never been financially independent, and therefore doesn't appreciate the value of money. How can I dealwith such a lazy person, when I'm the opposite? ..... And not let Her laziness drive me crazy.

So, the other day I was sitting on my laptop trying to make a YouTube video. I rewatched some of my old videos to try to get inspired. My channel is mainly flips, some travel, stuff with friends, occasionally pranks, and storys/days in my life. My family also has a channel (that I really hope no one at my school knows about, but that's another story.)  Then, THE WEIRDEST THING HAPPENED. I saw that my teacher (yes my 10th grade teacher) had commented on one of my videos from 2014 called like a pool challenge or something - stupid funny video. SHE HAD COMMENTED IN 2014, NOT 2020. She commented something like - "funny video, my kids liked it, too." I clicked on her channel, just to be sure it was her. IT TOTALLY WAS. Then I saw she is subscribed to my family channel.. SO she used to (or still does) watch my family's videos even though we don't post that much. We have several thousands of subs (so not like she is only sub haha). She doesn't subscribe to me though...  HERE IS THE WEIRDER PART... when this video was made I still lived ACROSS THE COUNTRY before I moved... She taught me this year (6 YRS LATER). She never said anything about my YouTube. What are the chances that she remembers me from this? I feel like I should tell her - such a small world (but I prob won't).. I'll maybe find out from my parents if she comments on the family channel.  Has anything this bizarre happened? Comment your small world stories below. thanks!!

I had a baby nearly 5 months ago and still live at home with my mum, my boyfriend (baby's dad) lives with his mum & dad, over the past few months me and my mum argue all the time she hates my boyfriend so she's never happy when he comes to stay. So I started staying more in his parents (they like me an don't mind me staying) but now because of this virus I have to stay at home with the baby and without my boyfriend me and my mum are constantly arguing she basically uses the baby against me grabbing him when he cried and says "oh she's such a rubbish mum isn't she yes she is" and other nasty little things. I suffer with anxiety an depression and me basically now feeling like a single mum is hard to get use to and it's literally draining the life out of me.

I'm really thinking about fighting my baby's father ex because she said that she hopes our unborn daughter die. My daughter don't have anything to do with our problem so I told him that after I give birth to our baby, I'm whipping her ***. (Whether she have her son with her or not, she's getting beat up.) And His reaction was, "None of you are touching my son mom. I know she has a reckless mouth, but that's STILL my SON mom. After he said that I was mad to the point I tore up everything in my house. Then later that day I thought about it and left it alone until she started talking crap about our child AGAIN! I really don't know about our relationship anymore or why I even stay with him knowing he let her talk about our baby. What should I do? Not to mention he cheated on me with her. And when he's around her he rushes me off the phone. 🤦

My birthday is coming up on the 30th, and I want my own personal cheeses but my mom won't get it for me, she asked me what I want for my birthday and that's what I want. My own personal cheeses.

I never really talk about this with anyone but I'm 18 years old and live with a family of 5. My whole life I've been excluded, neglected, and treated poorly in general. There isn't much I can do because of how strict my parents are and I'm afraid to open up to them about my current situation. I just feel so depressed more and more every day even though I'm already on medication. I'm anemic and have to take birth control due to how irregular my cycle is so I already feel like I'm somewhat of a burden to my parents since birth control is looked frowned upon. I wish I could get away from my family but the only way I can is if I get married. Most of my siblings treat me horribly and I just don't know how much longer I can take this for. My father is strict with me so I can't muster up the courage to open up to him about how I'm feeling. I feel so trapped and don't know what I should do since every day is getting so much harder for me. I'm just questioning my existence every day and want to know if it is worth living like this.

My 3 year old step son asked me where him and mommy slept in the house that I now live in. Should I tell his dad? 

Isn't that basically calling everyone spoiled brats for their parents still supporting them after they turned 18?   Keep in mind that she and her parents were living in a nice 3-bedroom house with an outdoor pool in backyard (like the pools you see at hotels, NOT one of those round-shaped metal-framed pools that are constructed in the yard).  So, her parents obviously were well-off.  Her mother even worked for a famous clothing company, AND not as a sales associate.  Therefore, she (the woman) was probably was so greatful that she refused to let her parents pay for her to go to college.  So, her Facebook post appears to call out 18-year-olds who let their parents spend four more years on them.

it was rude for her to have a baby cause I'm 25 and single so I can't have a baby.

She would be an aunt but I was 12 when I saw her last and this would be 22 years ago. She and my parents had a falling out when my grandparents died so I just followed my parents lead and don't speak to her or her kids. I remember her kids and played with them when little. My mother wishes not to speak to her but wonder if I should reach out? Do I attend the funeral? My parents said they will not be attending but will write to the children. I asked over the weekend but didn't get any real answers so asking again. 

My fiancés family is very small and because of his only, and youngest sister.(21) I don't want to be over at his mothers house for gatherings. My fiancé begs me to come and always says  "Don't let my stupid sister be the reason you don't come and see everyone else." Yet, she will make sure everybody else excludes me the way she wants. She'll greet everyone in the house but me, (together for 3 years and she's never even said my name) she'll start conversation in the house with everybody but me, she'll offer to play a board game and not include me. Just the pettiness. Yet when she brings her boyfriend over everyone treats him like family. I've brought gifts to everyone for Christmas and she's never said thank you to me, just my fiancé when we both know I really got the gift. My fiancé and his sister are 8 years apart so they never had a close bond, but she even told me she has a problem with me because i'm the reason they don't talk?  For my own peace, I will stay far away from anywhere that doesn't make me feel comfortable. & sadly, because of his sister its drained my relationship with everybody else. The mom doesn't address her daughters behavior so I think she doesn't care either. It's just hurtful.  When I go it's horrible, but if I don't show up anymore and let my fiancé go then I'll get the "she's a bad wife" role. What do I do?

Whenever I leave the house my mom must know where i'm going. If i'm going to a friend's house she needs to know where their house is and who that friend is, "just in case I go missing" that's bs because i'm not going to live with my mom forever. She can't always protect me from "going missing" and if i'm there until 11pm she starts blowing up my phone and accusing me of going to a club and having sex?? I understand if I'm leaving I can at least say "mom i'm going to a friends house i'll be back" but that should be it. Period.  Not to mention that she's tried to get me to download a tracking app... I'm an adult female by the way

I been unhappy most of my life, im starting to question why i was ever born. I hate my family, from my brother n sister to my mom. They are just dirty, bad people that put on a face in front of everyone. They do some really bad things that have really hurt people. They just put on a face in front of everyone to make themselves look good. They have done some really bad things to me to, ruthless, manipulative, dirty, heartless is how i would describe them. My life, i have trouble getting over the past n the things my family has done to me. I have OCD n that just makes it harder. I seem to make friends pretty easy in certain situations, i have some pretty good friends right now i would say. Overall, im just stuck in the past, n its making me really unhappy. I dont know why i cant get over it. Can someone help ? My OCD just drives me insane, i obsess about the past so much.

I'm 24. My parents have been discussing (surprisingly rather civil, I might add) divorce for a few weeks now. Dad caught cheating, he's unhappy, you get the picture. Well, one of the things my parents have been doing is meeting every day and airing their grievances, just getting everything out there and saying what they have to say. Well my dad had quite a request today: he wants me to take a DNA test. Around the time I was conceived (not my parents first or youngest child btw), my parents had been going through issues. He thinks I may be someone elses kid, and to be fair this isn't the first time this has come up. While I do look like my biological half brother on my moms side and my uncle on my dads side, I've always sort of been the dark horse of the family. I like different things, I don't get along with any of them while also being the only person in my family without brown eyes (I have green eyes). So yeah, looking for cheaper recommendations. Doesn't have to be over the top, just needs to prove my dad and I are or aren't related.

my caseworker said sometimes people will do something i think is unfair but i just have to be ok with it. but how? and does this mean you always have to deal with something unfair?

My sons 26. He had a mild form of autism, but you wouldnt guess it by just talking to him, if you didn't know him well. He has pretty severe anxiety. Theres never a time were hes not worried about something. It's like he searches for things to stress out about. He had his good days, but most if the time he cant focuse enough to do anything. I'll Ask him to do something around the house, and than hell busy stand in one spot staring off off ind the distance. That's not real unusual for him though. What's wierd is as of late, I'll find him wondering around the house seemingly doing nothing. I'll ask him what hes doing, and hell just respond with "oh I dont know, then hell just walk to his room. Up until about a year ago, he was always joking around, almost to the point were it would get annoying. He barely talks to me anymore, unless he feels he needs to. He's just very cold. I feel like he resents me, and I dont know why. Hes a very good person. Hes always been there for me, and the rest of his family, but hes been so withdrawn lately. What should I do?

So I am 21 almost 22 and live with my mother who is in her 60s. My computers and all are personally mine and no one uses them, though my monitors are visible when you walk into my room. When I was about 13 my mom took my tablet away for a week and beat me because she saw that I had non-nude bikini model photos stored on my tablet. But since I am an adult she won't take anything away or give me a spanking.  But she's Muslim and highly religious and thinks women should be covered. I myself am not religious at all, and I have no problem with how a person chooses to dress. 

My brother in law asked my son to clean his yard a week ago while he's in his cabin and he's paying him. So my son agreed and he drove to his house and cleaned the yard. He picked up dog poop and raked the leaves. He has a pretty big yard so it took him three to four days to clean it. He got 7 bags of poop and leaves. He paid him. He sent money to his account. Few days later, I noticed my son acting different. I asked him what's going on. He just said nothing mom and didn't say anything after that. I asked him again and made sure he told me so he did. He said my brother in law got back home and messaged him and said the yard is not clean, there's still leaves left, that he didn't clean anything at all, and is the payment not enough. I asked him if he's done cleaning the yard. He said he's not but he's going to finish it in a few days. He said he's just resting his back and he has a bruise under his toenail. He showed it to me and I  got so worried. There really is a bruise. He said he got it from the boots he's wearing because it's so tight. I knew he's so hurt from what my brother in law told him. He got 7 bags of poop and leaves and all he could say was "you didn't clean anything at all" As a parent, I feel hurt too because that's your child.

So ever since my father passed in December my mother has been harassing my fathers side of the family of watching her, taping into her conversations, sharing her conversations. It got to the point where they don't come around the crib anymore and blocked my moms number on their phones I kinda feel bad for them. Anytime something happens in the house she gets suspicious about it and or believes that whatever mail we are fake and claims that this never happened and blames them for doing it. She won't listen to anyone in the family but likes to listen to outside people she's still young on in her 40s Im very nonchalant about it  but I don't wanna hear her complain for the rest of my life 

Background: I just came home from a long day of work and my mom decided to babysit her annoying grandkids today so I was very cranky. So my I keep my pet cockatiel in the guest room (because she laid eggs) and I forgot that my nephews love going into the guest room for some reason. I come home and i'm chilling in bed and I hear my bird scream. I get up, run into the room, and see my nephew sitting next to the bird. So I don't know what happened, the devil must have taken over or something because i'm not confrontational. I went off and screamed at him "Why are you messing with my bird! Don't you dare touch my bird! she just laid eggs she needs her space! stay away from her!" I yelled so bad that my mom had to hug my nephew after all that. Was I too harsh? In my defense I was tired and angry and he knows not to mess with the bird. Edit: He wasn't hurting the bird or anything he just kept poking her cage and she got territorial

So my Dad makes me attend his virtual Trump club where he and other likeminded conservatives discuss important political issues. They're all Trump supporters. My two sisters, Connie and Amy, are also Trump supporters. Our mother is one, too. I'm the only liberal in my family. Anyway... I told my father: "I'm tired of attending these meetings." Dad: "This is a conservative household. Attending these meetings is not only necessary for your intellectual development, but it's family time." "How can you be so unfair?" "What did you say?" "Look, I'm not attending these meetings anymore. You, Connie, Amy, and Mom can go to them. But I'm done. Me going stops today." "Nothing stops. Nothing. Or you will be grounded for the rest of the year. I'll cast you out of the big bedroom and send you down to the attic. And your flat-screen T.V and PS4? Gone. Tossed in the dumpster. Me and your sisters will have a little video game barbeque out in the yard. They'll see the flames for miles. We'll dance around the fire like wild Indians. Understand? Catch my drift? Or am I being unfair?" I'm 18. Luckily, I won't have to put up with this for much longer so it is what it is. I plan on moving into a dorm this fall when you know, this whole covid19 thing is over and everything is back to normal.
