And their parents are in 40 something years old.

Should a mother allow her daughter to spend lots of time with her half sister that goes to the same school and is the same age? Her half sister has the same father (anonymous sperm donor that has no parental rights) but has a different mother.

Have you ever thought about this? Would you pursue a friendship with your parents if you were not their child? This is based on what knowledge you have of your parents.

my husband is constantly putting me down and calling me names. His favorite names are pig and stupid. He comments on my weight and how I am lazy and should go to the gym several times a day and won't stop no matter how many times I ask. He laughs and criticizes my physical appearance. After he has just been extremely nasty to me or screamed at me he will act like nothing happened just a few minutes later.  He even tried to stop me from drinking water once by telling me that water has calories. Yesterday he had made dinner and asked if I wanted some. I said yes, please and then after he cooked, he came into the living room and sat everything down in front of himself with one plate and one set of utensils. I said to him " are you serious?" because to me it was just another moment of selfishness where he didn't really want to share and where he didn't think about me, only himself again. He blew up and started screaming at me , telling me I was lazy and I just wanted to lay on the sofa and that I could go and get my own plate and silverware if I wanted to eat. He cursed at me "F you! your lazy mother f***er pig. and *****. and that I ruined his whole day and that we should get a divorce ( something he threatens all the time) He won't apologize until Im crying so hard Im gagging. He laughs at me when Im upset and doesn't listen to me when I try to talk about my feelings.he told me if I would lose weight, all our problems would go away.  He says Im just sensitive 

Why would a mother give the the father permission to pierce her daughters ears seven times? Her daughter is one years old.

Or do you actually care about them?

We recently moved into a condo and his parents came to visit. They ended up staying an extra week which turned into them asking if they could quarantine with us. I had no problem with this because they are (or will be) family and I love my fiance so whatever makes him happy is fine with me. We havent been having much sex because his parents like spending time with us and watching movies, cooking, everything. Last night we finally attempted. It was around 12 so I assumed they were asleep. I was on top with no sheets because it was hot and she just comes in! she didnt knock or anything. She barged into our bedroom, turned on the light had this shocked look on her face, said "never mind" and left. Since then she wont look at me or talk to me. Neither will his dad. they're very religious and I hope they dont try to get my fiance to end things with me. I am 25 and he is 29 if it matters. What should I do? Do I need to apologize?  We do not have locks on the bedroom doors... Some of you are missing the point. We could get some, but when this happened we did not have any. 

I was in high school at the time and she seem like an adult and that's why people were shocked but I'm 38 now and I feel like I'm still a teenager or young adult. Not a woman going through menopause. The family said his cousin on my mom's was snapping because of midlife stresses that women go through like menopause. Her marriage ended and now she's kind of lonely as an old lady as the lover died last year. What is 38 mid life? Was this really a menopause related midlife crisis? My dad was a little sexist but always said there was an age where women snap midlife. This definitely happened to my mom and she was about early to mid 40s when she snapped. By age 60 she was fine it was 15 years of hell. Anonymous: my father is codependent on his wife that he's negligent of others that are emotionally unstable.  

I come from a very close nit family. 6 siblings and 2 parents in their late 70's early 80's. A few weeks ago one of our brothers was placed on quarantine due to a girl on his job, who he works closely with, coming down with the coronavirus. She was in intensive care for a while. Well, my brother was placed under quarantine as a precaution. We, as a family banned him from coming over to our parent's house until his quarantine was complete but he has been letting us know via the family group text that he hasn't stayed home the whole time. He said that he's been out and about just to get out of the house. His 2 weeks is up this week and knowing the first place he's going to go is our parent's house should we ban him for another 2 weeks until he follows through with the mandatory 2 weeks we was supposed to do? Our dad is in his 80 and he's got some health problems already and mom is late 70s and she does her best to take care of dad. Can one person be so stubborn as to not care about the safety of his parents than to not do what he's supposed to do to make sure he's not infected before he goes back over to the family house? Should we ban him for another 2 weeks until he proves to us that he has followed through with the 2 week quarantine? That doesn't mean just going out to get some air or to the store because he needed some more Cokes.

Okay so despite the current pandemic, lockdown, my SO came over after my parents went to sleep Originally, I didn't want him to because rules had gotten stricter, I didn't want to risk his mom getting sick. However, we had been arguing lately and I knew if I told him not to come, the situation would get worse and he'd go even more days without texting me. I let him come and we spent most of the night watching a show on his phone or sleeping. I will admit we had sex once or twice.That wasn't our priority. We fell asleep from 1 to 3 am and as I was helping him get his stuff ready, I heard my mom coming upstairs. I quickly tried to get to my door as quick as I could.. I got to the door as my mom did and before I could leave the room, she had saw him in it.Next thing I know shes screaming and I back up and get on the bed. Im apologizing, asking her not to hit me cuz she has a temper. My stepdad comes in and yells at tyler. he repeatedly tells me hes sorry. I just sit there in complete shock, shaking and staring at the wall. I couldn't feel anything but fear. I was just so horrified I couldn't talk or move. Him and my parents went out into our front yard while I sat motionless in my room. Idk if his mom came and got him or if my mom called her.My phone was taken i couldn't sleep because I didn't want the scolding to come.I finally fell asleep.My mom works from home and my stepdad gets home in 3 hours.Im scared for this evening to come and I don't know what I'm going to do or say.

I am the youngest of my siblings and love doing things on my own. For example, I signed up for a boot camp on my own to drop some weight. Once they found out they ran off to do the same thing. I than started freelancing and they went off to do that on their own as well. Which is pretty scary to me that my older siblings copy young sibling ? What is the reason behind all this?

So he will always say any form of fantasy fiction or animation on tv is garbage and always make some kind of remark about what I'm watching. He really doesnt respect it at all.He won't even watch it for two minutes but my art is exactly that, fantasy, sciencefiction, animation etc. So how can this person be supportive of what I do if he doesn't respect the people that are successful in this field?Is he like a complete idiot that he can't realise thats the type of stuff I'll be involved in oneday? So is it only good if I make it? Everytime he makes these kinds of comments it feels like he's saying the whole career I want to persue is worthless but then he still wants to see my art the next day and tells me how good it is. Is this just a old person thing?

My friend (we live in virginia and are 17 now) wants to start her own restaurant business and she also decided she isn't going to college either, i'm worried how is she going to do this stuff?

I am in a really scary place right now. I am angry and confused of why one of my parents fell victim to covid. I have fallen into depression. I don't want people to sugar coat things but it's hard to hear the facts. I'm seeing so many different statistics and since this virus is new, nobody knows what's true and what isn't.  One thing is that this virus is 100 percent real and I'm really angry at those who think it's a joke. I'm living in NY state in a rural town where 3 in 1000 people have this virus. I also think I have it but have been self quarantine since mid March. I would never wish this upon anyone. My parent is in ICU in a medical induced coma. My parent has been in there for almost 3 days now. My parent is young, 49 to be exact. I really am scared she won't make it but I'm trying to stay positive for myself and my family. This is hard on us since my mom is the most kind and selfless person ever! I really hope she comes out and every day that goes by I hate myself more for not being there enough. It's heartbreaking not being able to be with her. I hate waking up every day. Please keep her in your prayers please keep all patients in ICU in your prayers or thoughts. Please help me. 

My 27 year old daughter just moved back home after 8 years.  She does not have a job. She is very upset with me because I have not had the hard discussions with her about where things went wrong in my life and how things can be better for her. My priority has not been the relationship. She is very critical of me and how I keep the house.  Now her health is suffering in terms of eczema flare-ups and other issues. We are living in the same house and do not speak, only communicate by text and have separate meal times because I felt that I was the thorn in her side and she would be more at peace being left alone. It went the opposite way and her health is getting worse and the gap between the two of us is widening. How can I set boundaries and also fix the relationship issues? She is not open to counseling until I do the deep work and work on myself.

My 27 year old daughter moved back home last year.  She still does not have a job and may not for some time due to the recent events. I am a single parent and she came to live with me from another state when she was 15.  Her father was verbally and physically abusive with me. She has fears that she is like her father and will be left alone like him one day. She confided me her deepest fears. I told her a few hours later that she walks all over me just like her father. Now, she says that she will never trust me again. Will I ever be able to regain her trust?

My mil has 6 grandkids and one on the way (I'm 38 weeks preggo) 3 of the grandkids live out of state so she doesn't really have a close bond, or relationship with them. So she only has 3 grand kids at the time who she sees regularly. The oldest grandkid here is 8 years old. The 8 year old has a 5 year old brother. I have a 5 year old daughter. For 3 years, the 8 year old was used to being the only grandchild. So she was obviously spoiled and got a lot of attention. Once my daughter was born, the 8 year old (3 at the time) was extremely jealous. Every single time that my mil would hold my daughter, she would sit on the grandmother lap and make it to where my daughter would literally be almost hanging off her lap. Any attention my daughter would get, the 3 year old would take the attention off of her by crying, screaming and keep asking her grandmother to get her stuff or help her with stuff. And the grandmother would fall right for it every time. She was the same when mil husband would come over. She would never allow him to give any attention to my daughter. She would always demand that he put my daughter down and play with her. Once her brother was born, she would tell her mother to put my daughter down because she has her own baby. No one ever corrected her. Everyone caters to her. It still goes on to this day. She is such a spoiled brat. She has even been living with the grandmother and step grandfather now for a couple of years.

I searched his drawers and it was full of them. He is 41 and mom is 38.

at what point are you NOT distancing?  My sister wants us to come over for Easter, but that requires being in her home with people who have been with others.  My 96 year old mother thinks it's OK because she's been outside with her friends. I say that's worse; breeze puts her at higher risk if they're carriers! [Yet she begged me yesterday not to go pick up needed medication!] PLEASE tell me I'm overreacting!

She takes my sister who has to go to the doctor for this condition called Crohn's disease

Title says most of it. My 10 y/o sister is still heavily babied by my parents. Shes still in diapers, only drinks out of bottles, uses a pacifier constantly, and rides around in a comically large stroller wherever she goes. We're homeschooled, so she has no reason to even try acting her age. Ive tried talking about this to my parents, and their response is usually along the lines of "Well it makes her happy, and we want her to be happy.". Also talked to my sister on this, and she just thinks its normal. None of this is good for my sister, and I hate seeing her raised like this. Id go to CPS, but I dont want to be separated from her. Im treated normally, so Im worried that she would be taken away, and not me. That all being said, does anybody have any advice on what to do?

My sister is upset and really worried about getting the virus she just seen online a video about what they do to people to test it. She said it looked like it was getting a flu test they stick a large swab up your nose and leave it there for 5 or 10 minutes she could not handle that she already has a screaming fit when getting the flu test she couldn't handle it for 5 or 10 minutes. She said she's not going out of the house anymore she doesn't even want her boyfriend coming over until June. Even though she loves him like crazy and is going nuts without him she is one of those people who are at risk for the virus she doesn't want to take any chance. They were supposed to go have lunch on their anniversary now she doesn't want to after begging to do it for over a month she doesn't know how to tell him. She doesn't care if it takes all year she said she's not gonna risk at being around people. I didn't see the video but I guess it really freaked her out. How can I calm her down ?  Her boyfriend is supposed to come over the week before Memorial Day she was excited for it but now after seeing that video she's kind of nervous for him to come over he hasn't been anywhere other than at home with his family. He said they never get sick but he can still carry it to her. 

I am 24.  My  roommate moved out  due to the recession/Covid-19 and I can't afford rent anywhere as my hours were cut from full time to 15 hours per week.   I can't get unemployment as I was doing work study last year and that income isn't counted for unemployment so I can't meet the minimum for enough quarters.   One option is to move back in with my parents which I really don't want to do.  The other option is to return to the camp I worked at last year and ask if they will let me move in a month early and assist the rangers with cleaning up the camp (I would not be asking for money, just a place to stay).  I don't want to snub my family or make the camp staff feel pressured into letting me stay.  But I would feel defeated if I moved back with my parents at this point in my life.  

My parents are Mexican but I was born in Brooklyn. My dad got deported in 2017. In 2016 I started giving up in life, and got into the worst weed trip. Ever since then things just keep spiraling downward. The point is, I visited my family in 2009 when I was 14. I went swimming and everyone lived in a house. My aunt said to move there in my grandparents giant self constructed house because they can tell I'm suffering. Even my dad said he is sorry that I am to living like this over the phone. He literally said that to my sister that I am homeless as a joke but It's true because I can't afford any apartment. And now my brother hates me and I feel resentful too because because he has been smoking weed heavily since 2016 (4 years) when I tried it for one month. Who knows what kind of brain deterioration that might've caused. Weed made me dizzy. Everyone separated. There's this old saying that drug addiction breaks up families. I just want to chill. I don't want to be asked for NY priced rent. This is sh itty. I've seen guys live like sh it just to be in Manhattan, but not me. Not after vacationing in Mexico.

For background, growing up my sister has always been very loud, bipolar, anxiety ridden, daily panic attacks, verbally and physically abusive kind of person. She's very much a ticking time bomb daily so if even the slightest inconvenience happens, it ruins her whole day and everyone else's around her. Well, we got into an argument and some words were said all in front of my 3 y/o son. I was trying to be the bigger person and exclude myself and my son from the situation but some very vulgar words were coming out of her mouth and I felt very disrespected ESPECIALLY with what she was saying and calling me in front of my son. In the past, I moved to a different state to be away from my family just to be happier for my son and I but due to financial reasons I had to move back and my sister living right around the corner...those thoughts of moving away AGAIN are coming back and I don't know if I'm overreacting over a little argument but I never know with her and hate to have my son exposed to that. I want to keep my son away for the time being until she can control her temper, I don't know what to do? 

So i have moved back in with my family due to corona virus and all the circumstances that are going on, after two months of moving out. And ever since i have been trying to ignore my emotionally abusive mother who leaves no table unturned to make me talk to her even though she knows that i left because i got tired of all the drama she caused.    She turned my younger brother (23) against me and my older brother(27) who loved me so much and always supported me, so she couldn't take that and its been a year my brothers have stopped talking to me, cause as it seems they think i m the crazy one here who always starts a fight with my mom.  Recently my mother is trying to get me to get really emotional and go crazy but i have tried to not be irrational and avoid her as much as i can, but as living in the same home, i had enough today and we had a verbal fight, not to my surprise she started crying and acting like shes the victim, then my younger brother came and threatened me that if i ever tried to fight or do anything to her he will beat me or something. His tone was violent and abusive too.  I have never talked to him like that, but i am wondering how he got the nerve to say that to me. So even if he is brainwashed about me, how should i respond to him as he seems to take my mother's side always not knowing whos fault it is actually.  I am not trying to get back or seek revenge but i think he has no right to talk to me like that. 

**** I'm the eldest of 8 kids in my house, only one is my direct sibling, the rest come from different guys, some of which I don't even know the names of. And now we're expecting- get this- twins. God knows who the dad is! Why can't my mom just learn to pop a birth control pill? Ugh. This is really just a vent, feel free to ignore.

So my dad used to rape me and my brother when we were younger, around age 9 and a couple years after, before my parents got divorced and my mom claimed majority custody. Is it to late to press charges now that I am 19 and my brother is 17?

My Dad has bipolar. He hit me a lot when I was a kid. He barely worked, and didn't even seem bothered when I went without things.  He tries to say he tried his best, but he put in almost no effort, and now I have to live with these memories. 

This is a bit of a long story, so bear with me. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 years, from teenagers to now adults. From the beginning I have always felt unwelcome by his mom and stepfather. They began to acknowledged me (but still not fully) when some years have passed and they realized we were serious. Fast forward to a year ago I move in with my bf and his step brother. Soon his brother moves his gf in so now there's us 4 (none of which their parents agree with). After some time passes his step brother begins asking "advice" from their family on how to go about addressing us about cleaning up but also saying "were dirty and don't pick up after ourselves" (which we do). This created a negative situation that led to the parents becoming involved and them coming to the apartment to "address the situation" but the step father started yelling at me and called me a b***h which then created a fist fight between my boyfriend and him where his mother joined in (******* crazy). Meanwhile they are calling me all type of names and accusing me of a situation that the step brother started in the first place. Boom, fast forward to the present when another situation arises where the step brother, and his brother jump my bf due to the increasing tension in the apartment that led to cops being called etc. Later that day, a sit down with his family occurred where the step dad told me he dosent like me becus I don't like his son?? I don't want anything to do with this insane family S/n: His family favors the step brother due to his sickle cell so they are much harder on him although all that has happened started with the sb and no one seems to see that until recent events proved strongly otherwise. Proving that my bf and I were right to accuse the step brother of being devious and manipulative. A lot of hurtful things were said to me by them such as I can't marry him without their approval and twisting my words to make it seem like I'm a bad person. I'm over it  The mom also went as far as telling me that she dosent see us lasting without me interacting with the family and how could I after all the things they called/said to me? When I was nothing but composed as possible during those trying times. It seems clear as day they never really liked me for reasons I still don't understand since I barely talk to them. I don't want this to effect my relationship with my bf because I only want him and could care less about his crazy a*s family 

I'm 19 and still live with them

My husband and I have a 3 month old son. We live 2 hours away from my parents and my parents are divorced. I didn't have the best childhood as my mother was verbally and physically abusive to me. My husbands parents live out of state and we have worked out a schedule with them. Since it's only been 3 months since ive had him we're still working out a schedule for my family as it means going to 2 separate houses to visit grandma and grandpa. We went over to my mothers house last weekend for the day. We spent the night at a hotel as we don't feel comfortable staying at her house. While at my mothers my mother tried to take over caring for him, which is allright to a point. But she wouldn't listen to me when I told her he was hungry and I needed to feed him, and also wouldn't listen to me when my husband told her he needs diaper rash cream for every diaper change. My hungry son crying Was the last straw.  I told her that we are his parents you are grandma. And what we say goes. Normal grandma spoiling like letting him have an extra cookie or no nap is one thing, but when we tell you something in regards to his care what we say goes. She proceeded to throw a tantrum and was yelling and cussing and getting heated. All while right in front of my son.  We don't feel comfortable being around her with our son, but don't want to deprive him of a potential relationship with her. What would you do?

I grew up in a family of warehouse employees and one uncle had always been so distant with our family people hate him and told me he is the devil. As I grew to learn about him he has a PHD in Accounting and I felt in love with his vibe energy and lifestyle. He had such a great marriage and people at his job absolutely love him. He is a big leader from I hear. Why do people incredibly hate him and blame him for their failures?

I had a baby 6 months ago. My boyfriends sister is uninvolved. When I was in the hospital I told her I did not want anyone in the hospital for the first day given the birth...the pain... and of course people coming in every few minutes to slide their arm in my couchie. She got very offended and told EVERYONE on my boyfriends side of the family that NO ONE IS ALLOWED  to see the baby which was a straight up lie. The second day was completely ok for visitors. Months pass...She had only seen her once.... She lives one street over. Makes no effort to visit, text, or call. She makes no effort to be an aunt in her life... Which hits me and drags further down my postpartum I was experiencing. Makes me feel my child isn't loved or wanted...I just want advice. What if down the road she just shows up out of nowhere to be in my dd's life? I do not want to be petty because that is not me to decide for my daughter. BUT...it infuriates me this woman had no interested being pregnant (didn't show up nor gety a gift for baby shower) after birth, then now... I feel I should protect my child from family members such as this... also she is good friends with my boyfriends ex..who has two other kids who she ADORES.. I love his kids as well but it does make me feel terrible for my own daughter, why does she act like this and what should I do... 

My 27 year old daughter is very upset since I have not had the difficult discussions with her as to why my life did not go well and how she should learn and make her life better. She basically feels that I do not care. I have suggested counseling but she does not agree. We now live separately but in the same house. We have separate meal times and only communicate by text. How can I help her with her anger towards me?

I did nothing wrong but they like to hold grudges against people since their mother is the queen of grudge holders. She was once married to my uncle. 12 years ago when Facebook was new their parents were divorcing so we were bad guys since their Dad was the brother of my Mom. However, 12 years later I sent a request on Instagram and my new Facebook account and they blocked me again. Thus, have not matured since their parents divorce in 2008. One of them is nice to us when she sees us so I assumed she was grown up now and fine. The other is not a nice person. Their mother and the cousin who is not nice do follow my brother and sister. The nice cousin does not follow any in my immediate family so she may just not follow family in which case it is not personal. How do I stop letting it offend me with regards to the one who follows two of my 3 siblings? Her mother even does the same and is divorced from the family. She follows two of my 3 siblings but blocked me. She is very hateful.

By he I mean my brother. Like at holidays and stuff what do I do as my parents act like there is nothing wrong with what he did. My Dad excuses it on grounds that my brother was bullied as a kid since he had learning disabilities and also my Dad excised it because my brother is Obsessive-Compulsive. My Mom complains he is obsessive but then covers up for him when he choked me. At Christmas they covered for him also. How do I make sure my bad brother never sees me again and get others to keep him out of family events?

i am almost eighteen, but might be leaving a few weeks before my birthday in july. i know i dont have much time left but i feel like im losing my mind dealing with her. she is really strict and keeps making rules for every little thing. shes taken our phones but adds a week every TIME she feels unsatisfied with something. she even made a rule that we cant even take naps anymore. and we cant get under the covers in our bed until 8 pm. this feels unfair. theres more but here is the basics. how do i cope ? thanks for the answers yall

I am wondering if he is bullying me to get me scared and then yell at me for being scared or do I need to be terrified of COVID-19? I know I need to bathe and hand wash regularly but what about the rest? Can I visit a friend as long as I stay 6 -8 feet away and not have a big party? Also will this last a few years?

I am very concerned about my teen daughter she is 18, she is dating this guy that is not good for her, how can I get her to see that or end their relationship?  If I talk to her about some of the things that bother me, she tells me I do not understand them. 1. he is 19 and refuses to get a job. He going make it big in the stock market one day. 2. He been talking to her about moving out, she has a job and having a kid. (She already has one by another loser)3. I been told by someone at their high school, he is a thief, a liar, and he sell drugs. 

Makeup? make him dress up?

We have joint custody of my stepson for 3yrs now. Since the very start she never got him like she was supposed to. over time it has only gotten worst. since the start of this year alone she has had him a total of 1 week. last year a month in total. she always comes up with an excuse as to why she cant take him. she has never spent a dime on him the only clothes she even has for him is what is sent with him the day he goes over there and then she would even keep his clothes and send im back in what he wore over there. (he always takes extra clothes) but then she sells them and is back to not having any. when he does go over to stay a single night he has to sleep on the floor because she does not have a bed for him. DHS said she has him sleeping on the couch but he said he cant because he has pee accidents. she always says she will come get him but never shows up. when she was homeless I talked a family member into letting her say with them just so she could see her son but even then she would not take him destroyed there house and they had to kick her out. ive tried more then enough I feel to try and have her be in his life but its just not working. We have a joint physical custody order and no money to get a lawyer to modify the order. so with that being said the random day 2 if lucky she gets him we cant say no or the one time she calls and says nothing but lies we cant stop. he is hurting so bad he is only 7 and has went through so much. what can I do??

I go brought a new car last month I used to get her clean like every 2 days.. something that I payed for I want it to look dope and nice 24/7 but with the whole overbreak I been home for the past few weeks and I probably won't go back out again until like the last week of April.. and I also don't wanna waste any money after next week I will stop getting paid from my job for home stay and I just know that unemployment check isn't coming no time soon lol so I been trynna control my pockets as much as I can I only spend my money on groceries..overal will not washing my car cause damage?? 

My dad says that he hates me and my mom. They argue almost everyday. My mom treats my dad so good and she does everything for him yet he gets mad at her for no reason. My dad is basically telling me and my mom to move. And me and my mom don't want to move also because of the virus. My mom said we would have to move back to my old place, the trailer and I get nightmares from that place..

Every time I rise I see you falling.

I'm the middle child of my family. Both my older sister and younger brother are more accomplished and smarter than me. My older sister graduated from an ivy league school and my younger brother is currently attending an ivy league school, while I go to a state school. I feel like I live in the shadow of them both, and that I am the least accomplished of my family. Do any other middle children feel like this?

I am 34 years old . My entire life , my mom has criticized me because I am not "perfect."  Daily I communicate with my mom on the phone or thru text message . Currently she is preoccupied and fixated on the covid-19 situation. She is greatly paranoid , and for the past three weeks has been pestering and hounding me about taking measures and precautions to stay safe and healthy. Today I phoned her because I was proud of the fact that I shared my lunch with a homeless man in the public park. He asked for a slice of the pizza I'd been eating. So I gave him more than one piece. I told my mom that he sat down on the bench along with me . And she immediately attacked me , telling me that I did a poor job of social distancing , due to the fact that I allowed him to sit near me . Instead of her acknowledging my good deed. I've therefore come up with the idea of being intentionally negligent and  NOT exercising caution in public spaces . All of this will increase my chances of becoming ill . But I want to hurt my mom by showing spite . I want to upset her on  purpose. I will even go out of my way to capture a photo of myself licking a doorhandle , and send it to her. An alternative would be , I stop communicating with her all together. Drop all forms of communication , for the next several weeks or months. After this is all over and done with , then maybe I can continue having a normal relationship with my mom. But meanwhile , she never fails to anger me on a daily basis .

My mom usually always screams at me. I wake up in the most peaceful mood and than boom my mom comes and finds always something to scream at. SOMETIMES there are days when she will be super nice which makes me really surprised but than of there are days when she gets into the screaming and yelling mood for something little like maybe me not washing the dishes the way she wants or anything little i keep telling her to not yell and she won't take it seriously! I'm 20 btw I just don't understand her sometimes.

My sister recently went through a divorce with 3 kids (2 young adults, 1 teen). The kids grew up with two parents and have had an average sibling relationship; they've always been very close, actually. Since their dad is mostly absent, I've noticed my sister trying to partner with the oldest kid (21 yr old boy in college) to parent her youngest (16 yr old girl). She's obviously under a lot of stress having to adapt as a single parent, and the oldest looks and acts almost identical to his dad. This seems extremely unhealthy to me, for both kids. The daughter's being forced to look at this brother who she's seen as a peer and friend her entire life as an authority figure, and the boy has to straddle the line between brother/son and father all the time. He's a great kid, but not very mature; completely financially dependent and still stuck in the sibling rivalry mindset. The girl is pretty vocally frustrated with it (she's brought it up to me and her mom several times). Every time I mention it to my sister she gets very angry and tells me how the daughter is just a child and the son is an adult, and should be treated as such. Is this ok? If not, how do I support my sister so she doesn't feel like she needs to resort to this?

My 27 yr old daughter constantly talks down to me about how I organize the house and live my life. I am a single parent.   She refuses to eat any of the food that I cook saying that there is no love in it.  I try to ignore it and not take it personally as there is unresolved pain from the past. She does not have a job though and her health is not good due to the stress in our relationship.

These people stuck out because my mom used to drag me to Thanksgiving at my uncles in-laws and I really liked that they shared Bible verses around the table as guests at my uncles in-laws event. uncle is now divorced and uncles ex-wife's niece is also divorced. I only met this couple one or two times that passed out the Bible verses but they've stuck out in my head. Would they count as being related to me?

My dad is still my dad as he's always raised me and everything but for some reason my mother didn't want to tell me that when they were not seeing each other she saw another man for a few months and got pregnant. She left him and didn't bother telling him she was pregnant. She said he was not dangerous but not her type. I'm wondering if I should find him and tell him mom and son or do I just stay away from that all together since I have a dad? I'm age 20. She gave me his name and I typed it in and almost immediately appeared on Facebook and his real estate information though he lives far away from where I do. I've always lived in Virginia and he lives in St. Louis Missouri I've always lived in Virginia and he lives in St. Louis Missouri I found it out because my alcoholic uncle told me as a way of getting revenge towards my mom who helped his kids stage a family intervention over his drinking which obviously he took no advantage of.  

This is what I want to be when Im older. Im currently a junior in high school and planning on being one

He often wants me to lie to family members for him and I feel really uncomfortable doing it because I fear it will be mad at me when I catch me that I lied. Last time I got in trouble was over the holidays and that was when someone asked me a question and I answer them truthfully instead of lying. He was trying to get me to lie to his father-in-law about something. It seems strange that my dad wants me to lie when he got mad at me for it as a kid. He lies himself a lot and usually it's White Lies but they add up. The lies he wants me to do or not hard-core criminalize or anything but all white lies.  Like lying to my stepmother for him about where my half brother was when he was a teenager and my dad was supposed to be keeping an eye him but wasn't.  

MiseryLovesCompanyExplainsYou: How much do I love her, NONE !!

He hates it that I'm good to family.

My mother keeps getting back with her abusive boyfriend. Lemme just explain how ****** UP he is; 1. He talked about sex to me when I was 10! He's also been very perverted with my mother in front of me, and being perverted with me. 2. He's a druggie and alcoholic who furthered my mom's addiction to drugs, AND got her onto alcohol. 3. He threatened to kill my grandmother. 4. He tried to take my baby sister away from her father. 5. He beat up my mother (when he was drunk :))))) 6. He lied about having cancer 7. He lies about a bunch of **** all the time. 8. HE LITERALLY SENT ME A SUICIDE LETTER VIA GMAIL WHEN I WAS 14 FOR ATTENTION! My mother says she isn't "back with him" since he lives in Oklahoma, but this wouldn't be the first time she has had an LDR with him. She talks to him on the phone every second of the day, leaving me watching her children.  This honestly, just drives me farther away from my mother, which is already pretty far, seeing as though we haven't completely mended our relationship from the time when she was taken away for drugs, left me and my siblings with our emotionally and verbally abusive grandparents, she lied to me for years, and all the **** she said to me when she was on drugs.  How do I tell her that she's an idiot, but in a nice way? I would just like to announce that I'm only 15. I am a straight-A student, am involved with many extracurriculars, and am apart of many clubs and organizations. Taking care of the kids is already such a hassle for me. Don't get me wrong, I love them with my entire being, but I cannot care for them forever. I'll be graduating soon.
