When I was younger, something happened that affected my life drastically. I deal with it to this day. But it's not something I'm comfortable sharing with my family, at least right now. Basically one of my family members says or does stuff that brings up those memories, and it really upsets me. They make it seem like I'm being dramatic, and say I'm just sensitive, which really bothers me because I'm actually so hurt. I guess they can't really understand, because they don't know, but is there anything I can do without going into the details of my past?

So my bio dad raped my mom when she was 19. She kept me which I think was awesome although it must've been really tough carrying your rapist's child. My mom got him to jail where I believe he still is to this day and I have grown up with my stepfather as my whole life. He was her boyfriend back then but now husband.  I also have 2 technically halfsiblings but I consider them my full siblings because I have grown up with them.

Did it include embarrassing photos?

So my parents are divorced since I was a little baby (I'm 20 now). My dad has committed domestic abuse against my mum, has refused to pay the house debts and claims that my mum is still the owner as well. But he asked my mum to remove her name because he wanted to put his ex gf's name on it.  10 years later, the bank contacted my dad for having a debt of 10k and he said that my mum is the one to blame even though its not under her name anymore. The bank only gave my mum 10 days to pay during quarantine. I want to pay the debt but I'm most certain that my dad will do anything to get it back in his name and will not sign the the apartment over to me.  If I pay it will it automatically be put under my name (the house that my dad and my mum is indebted to pay)? What can I do to secure this house under my name?

Do you think there are people out there interested in dating a guy with a mental illness?

My daughter asked me if she could be a princess. Now before we start my daughter could never be a princess she could be the thing that guards the bridge to the castle but she's not pretty enough to be a princess How do I tell her this without hurting her feelings thanks.😔 Anyone who says I'm lying are obviously terrible parents who have told their children lies at their ugly

When I was 11 my mom got so mad at me she threw me on the bed I was standing still and she grabbed my arm and landed on the bed. How could she physically do it?

I have an aunt who is drunk. Brother who has an addiction and goes missing. Mother who is depressed and lazy. Yes, there is more to the story but sometimes these negative features about these people really take a toll on my mental health and well being. How do I just accept they are who they are? How do I not feel so sadness by how they are? thanks.

I have a daughter who will be starting college in the fall so she's still pretty young for kids. But the thing is, she's my only child so she's basically my only hope for grandkids. I had her at an older age and I didn't want to risk having another due to my age. I've asked her if she ever wants to have kids but she said she doesn't. Which upsets me because I've always wanted to have grandkids someday. She believes she's just not the "mothering" type and wants to have her life to herself. She's also not in a relationship and refuses to be in another simply because her last boyfriend "broke her heart". But that was also her first relationship so it wasn't going to last anyways. But that fact just lowers her chances of ever getting pregnant. Is there anything I can do to try to convince her to have kids at some point?

I'm a boy and when I was 11 my mom got so mad at me she threw me on the bed I was standing still and she grabbed my and I lifted off my feet and floor and landed on the bed. How could she physically do it? I've seen people throwing people to the ground in martial arts and wrestling. but throwing them in the air off their feet?

Today I had an online classes,my teacher was telling who did the homework and who didn't,when it was my turn he was extremely mad at me because I didn't complete the homework. (I'm the best student in his class and the reason why I didn't complete the homework was because there was some things I was unsure about)Earlier I've told him it was too difficult but he was mad cause my classmates manage to do it but I couldn't.He was so mean to me,he ask me what was so difficult in an angry tones,i didn't say anything,he told me if I didn't answer him he's going to remove me from the meeting,i still didn't answer him. (I was too scared to say anything)he said that he couldn't bear it anymore and he remove me from the meeting.I send him a message telling him I'm sorry but he didn't answer...i feel horrible about everything 

it all started when i was younger, he would touch me right below my buttocks and then he would put his hand on my knee and i felt very uncomfortable, i never said anything cause it was my dad side of the family, and i never understood why people who get touched by a family me ever stood quiet until it happened to me. my dads family was snooby thinking they were better than anyone. i stood quiet cause i hoped they accepted me still. later in the years i heard dtories of him and my cousin roughing around with each other like wrestling and i wasn't sure if they were talking about him but it sounded like and that he was gay i was afraid to find out until i had to ask and it was true. i ran into him again and i was still a kid, it was at my cousins wedding and my dad left me with him, and he started speaking to me, he brought up if i was single or dating someone, put his finger in my coat and pulled me in closer even though we were right in front of each other.. and i was afraid. and i blame everything on myself and never told the family. was he flirting with me or iam overreacting? 

I'm not allowed to hang out with a guy I'm 31 years old because my mom won't allow me to thinking I'll bring home coronavirus .  I can't hang out with anyone until the quarantine lift is off here in WA state. Also if I do go out with a guy she says all I'm doing is chasing d*ck. I'm a  single woman who enjoys going to a movie or having dinner . My mom brings me down every time. I'm only staying with my mom temporarily until I move out of state. She has restricted me from seeing anyone outside the home .

My sister is alway attacking me and has all her life. She has bit me, scratched me, and even whipped me with a metal chain. What can I do to help get over this, or face my biggest bully. 

hi. so my dad's side of my step family doesn't like me, but they're obsessed with my sister. they're always posting photos of her and my step brother, and asking to see them. during christmas, they were fully aware that my sister was visiting and had a whole line of gifts for her. i got a pillow, which i'm grateful for, but i was disappointed that they "didn't know i was coming", as they'd told me.  i'm worried that the reason they don't like me is because i'm not quiet and outgoing like my sister.  i also acted really weird around them a couple years ago, but it was understandable i think, seeing as they didn't really like me. lol so yeah 

I told my mom that my dad was drinking alcohol again. My dads addiction has heavily affected my families life. The sexual, physical, and mental abuse we've all dealt with growing up. My dad is slowly getting back into his habits and I do not feel safe about it. When he drinks he doesn't stay in his room, he roams around the house. It gets scary. So I came to my mom and I complained that his room smells like alcohol, the way he talks sounds different, and the one thing to tell if he's drinking is he's very introverted so if he's all of a sudden jumping to each phone call just to talk that is a huge sign. My mom warned him that she will leave him if this becomes an everyday thing. She was fine with the first time he started again and tried to support him, and now this is probably the 4th and she doesn't want to tolerate it anymore. Was I wrong for warning my mom? Should've I kept quiet and minded my own business? I feel kind of bad now.. maybe I should've never said anything but I wanted to say something because I felt like he's put us through enough and the fact he's drinking again by choice and surrounding my family and I with it is a selfish thing to do. Should I apologize to my mom? I'd hate to make her angry.  There's a lot of incidents where he was been too touchy, invasive, and violent that I could go over but I don't would be relevant for this toxic. I don't want to go through this cycle again and I know the rest of my family don't want too either. His addiction linked to many traumatizing experiences growing up. My mom was always a at home mom, she never had much money to help raise my family, so we were basically stuck with him because he's the one who had a job, and was able to afford more.  There were times we lived with our grandparents, and spent several nights with them. They just thought my mom should leave my dad, and didn't want a family of people living in their house after several weeks. I can't really be mad at them for that. 

I am currently homeless (have been for one month now) and my expenditures have somewhat increased. I am still getting paid due to temp jobs on Craigslist and my father's trust fund, however, my parents have thrown me out of the house due to not respecting COVID-19 regulations. I would like to know how to become more fiscally responsible in these dire times. I spend at least 100 a week on alcohol, how do I decrease that to around 50-60 so that I am also able to stretch money on more essentials, especially since the price of toiletries has increased.

I have an older step brother and he's 21 and I am 16. We're both the only child. Growing up he made sure that he'll never keep in touch with me at all. His dad married my mom five years ago. I was 11 and he was 16. He and his dad moved in with us and I was so happy because I had been wanting to have an older brother and I thought I finally have one but we just never get along. I always try to talk to him but he never talks to me. He always avoids me. He moved out at 18 and I never heard from him since. I tried to add him on facebook but he keeps deleting my request. I also tried calling him many times but he never answers. The other day, I sent a message to him saying how he's been doing and how's the quarantine treating him and he hasn't responded. I tried calling him and he finally answered and I was so happy but it didn't end up what I was expecting. He said I should stop bothering him and calling him and he called me annoying. I admit I'm really hurt. All I want is for him to accept me. I would be the happiest girl if that happens but I doubt it will😥 It would be nice if I have my own children and they call him uncle. I always dream of that. It's been five years and he still hates me. When will he start accepting me as his sister? Is it bad to hope for us to get along?

i'm not asking you to tell me what's definitely wrong with me because obviously you don't know me. i'm just confused and fed up. i just feel proper dull and drained everyday and whatever i do wether that's go work, meet friends or even just do something in the house to distract myself, that feeling just doesn't go away. i'm probably just being very stupid. i was just looking for some tips maybe of things that make you happy when your sad? xx

I'm not sure I'll be able to fully paint the picture here but I need help processing this. When I was about 13 and my sister was 10 years old, my mother had a boyfriend who she ended up marrying once I moved out of the house at 18. My sister was already living with my Dad at the time. My sis was a manipulative lil brat that would do anything to get her way. She would lie constantly about everything. Even say I hit her when I never laid a hand on her, just because we were arguing and she wanted something.  She manipulated my step mother and my gf and those ended up in break ups.  Much more I wont go into but bringing it back to my stepfather when she was 10. She really wanted to live with my father and tried many things. Calling the cops that my mom beat us and more ridiculous stuff. Finally she got her way when my father asked my mom to go to dinner with him and my sis. My father said that my sis told him my step father molested her. My mother was shocked till she looked at my sister who gave my mom a smirk. *I win*. My mom had to let her daughter move to her dads.  My mom and i never believed her. Recently my mom n SF got divorced. My sister is now demanding that my brother (who is 11 years older) my mom and I apologize for not believing her.  My mom now believes her. My sister sent a text saying "I can't stop resenting mom unless you two say you believe me and appologize"  I cant truly apologize. I dont believe it. But what would she gain from us FINALLY believing her? 

Summary: my grandma on my dads side never loved my sister or I because she hates/ed my mom. Time went on and she always favored the other cousins and ignored us. She lived with my aunt for most of her adult life and now my aunt wanted to dump her in a retirement home because she couldn't deal with her anymore and no other grandchild wanted to care for her or couldn't. so my dad felt it would be appropriate to force her to live with us until she dies ( which i mean she is his mom, so I get that...). She's been with us for a month and a couple days now. Initially I hated, despised, loathed her. Her existance was an inconvenience to me and triggered negative emotions almost instantly. Time went on and there was some improvement with my attitude towards her. I just can't forgive her. I think a part of me might always hate her. How do I let the burden of hate go? I just dont want to care anymore. I dont want to regret hating her when she's gone.   

i have brother issues, sometimes my brother hurts my mom in a bad situation like throwing glass and pushing/kicking things. they are doing it bcz of my mom/dad. in few days ago we moved to another house. today my mom asked me for a amulet. she cant remember where she put it. she thinks she lost it. when i organized everything i gave her the amulet. now its gone. i think my brother did it intentionally. should i tell my all relatives and families about it?
