I am 16 years old and my brother is 14 but he is much bigger and stronger than me. Life with him is like living hell. Over the past I would say 3 years he has threatened to kill my whole family multiple times, fight us, hurt us and so many more things. I don't know what to do anymore he's such a manipulative liar, just today he said he was gonna hurt me but the moment I tell my parents he lies and says that has never happened . He has hit me and pushed me multiple times and has fought both of my parents. We have called the police but then my mom tries to sugarcoat it because she feels bad & uses the fact that he has adhd to help him.The police said next time he gets physical he's gonna get removed from the house & honestly I cannot wait for him to leave but until then I don't know what to do about him living here. We constantly butt heads and he always antagonizes me. I really want something to happen so he can get the hell out of here and fast. I resent him and have so much hate in my heart because of how he has single handedly destroyed this family and our relationships. When I'm older I already know i'm never gonna talk to him and want nothing to do with him, is that wrong ? I'm not sure what to do if I can tell anybody to get him out. I just know I cannot wait to begin a new life. Without him.

He's sick of me even though I've been away at boarding school for 3 years. He still resents me like when I was home. I'm a high school junior

I'm a 20 year old female. Im in college and working. I still stay with my mom. I help her pay bills such as car note, car insurance, cable bill, wifi bill, electronic bill on a monthly basis.  I just found out she has been accessing my social media accounts somehow. She was messaging some guy on Twitter about my stimulus check pretending to be me. When he messaged back, the notification popped up on my phone so that is how I found out. I immediately questioned her about it and she just thought that it was so funny. Say "oh my bad. I didnt know I was on your account." When she clearly did know and i didnt think it was funny.  I went to my facebook settings and found out someone had been accessing my facebook on other devices besides my phone and computer. So somehow she has been in all my social media. She has done this to my sister's social media as well and my sister is 35 year old. (She did find out and didnt appreciate it at all) She has also go through my personal belongings in my room.  I tried telling her today that its not right to snoop through my things because I'm grown and I pay bills in this house and she literally started cussing me out, screaming and crying like a maniac. She said that she goes to work everyday and makes money just for me to be mad over twitter and that I'm ungrateful 😐 I left the house to cool off. I dont know when I'll be back home. Am I wrong here? How do I handle this situation? 

hes making excellent progress . but is it selfish of me to want to have another baby?

Any black mother would say "It'll b different if my youngest son, I was his wife instead, he'd let me do everything around the house". What kind of thing is that to say before everybody?!

I ran away in 1984 and I've had no contact with my family since. I flight to the USA.  I've been here ever cents and never gone back to El Salvador.  With these websites people finders I'm afraid he could find me.  He always said after my brother ran away that if any of us ran away he would find us and kill us.  My brother died in an accident is the legend but I have no idea if it's true.  

They wanted to stop at three kids but she got pregnant with the fourth my aunt.

Growing up me and my father were extremely close and It felt dope. The problem became when I started to want to live my own life. For examples, if I made a new friend in college and I was astonished and wanted to learn from him my father would be mad at me for a week. Another example was when I wanted to buy my first car I wanted to go alone and make my own decisions so I did it and he slammed the door. He had disapproved of all my relationships and told me they would hurt me some did and some did not. What's the big deal? Now I met an incredible woman and want to get married but I know he will get ma because it means less time with him? Where does he get this attachment from?

he is my crush

My fiancé and I were planning to go on vacation in a few months. We booked the room everything is paid for, and we won't be able to get our money back. We didn't see where we have to be 25 to rent a room. We are both 23. This is stupid considering we are old enough to go to war, have jobs, rent our own apartment, and drink.. but too young to rent a hotel room. We don't know what else to do and don't want to lose tons of money. Can we just add another person and get one of our parents to come with us?  Edit: we are renting a room to go visit family before we get married

So my mom works in this doctors office setting (its a psychiatric center technecially but it has a waiting room like a doctors office and many rooms for social workers, nurses etc) Anyways the last time mom spoke to me was a week ago (i am married live with my husband). I decided to text her today )since shes not at work) "how are you?" (I text my dad a few days a week same way, mom is busy at work and gets mad if we bother her so i wait for her to text me usually. If i text her sometimes she tells me she cant talk right now). She asked me "why?" and i tell her I haven't heard from her in a week and then she goes "i'm okay are clients our dying i'm very depressed" Anything I can do? Im sure with dying she meant from coronavirus. She helped these patients for years so I understand, but i still don't like to hear my mom is depressed. It's not like her to not talk to me :(

She is also a Jew, but not like my family secret Jew. She is officially Jew. I don't know why she no longer answers. I think Iran govt is problem. Any idea? A solution?? Thanks!

Here's the background: I'm 25 My fiancés younger and only sister is 20 and has been causing major issues between us. Before we got engaged, and when I first started dating her brother (4 years ago) she was a complete ***** off the bat. When I would come over I would find my jacket and purse on the ground, give me the side eye, if everyone in the house was about to play cards she'd invite everyone to play, but me. It was obvious she wanted me excluded. After a year, I finally asked her why she was treating me so poorly and she said it's because "her and her brother don't talk anymore." At the time my fiancé said that was complete nonsense because they never had a relationship to begin with. (They are 8 years apart) Over the years it's gotten worse. She will text me horrible things about how she feels about me, she texts me horrible things about her own brother to me, she's even gone out of her way to get in my face at their mothers. I have been nothing but nice for years, and been getting treated like this. Their mother seems to deny or not think anything's wrong and she just states she's "overreacting"  Now, my fiancé wants nothing to do with his sister. Not because of me, but because he sees everything's she's done and he's embarrassed and feels completely disrespected as well. Because of this, his mom, sister, and brothers think I'm trying to break up their family because of his sisters actions! So she can harass me for years but when I've had enough I'm the family breaker?

Let's say a woman's first cousin dies. She is survived by two children (son and daughter). The daughter is handling the funeral arrangements, so the mom buys a sympathy card and encloses a cheque. She suggests to her son that he buy a sympathy card for her to give to their deceased cousin's son (but no money, since mom covered that). She then goes to funeral, which is over 200 miles away, and gives one sympathy card (with cheque) to deceased's daughter (from her) and one card (no money) to deceased's son (from her son). Is that tacky and/or makes no sense? Should the mom should've included her son's name on the card with cheque, and give it to deceased's daughter

I'm a girl My teacher is male so it's not a "her"rather a "him"

Short background why I ignore his calls: my dad lost his job when I was 16 yrs old. He was living in another country. He said it was hard to get a job there and asked me to please get a visa for him to come to the USA. I always remember him being irresponsible, but promised he will get a job when he gets to the USA. Before he got his Visa, I was supporting him financially. I was in college working in a store and sending him money. My mom and him divorced long time ago. He always called me telling me how much he cared about me but everything changed when he got to the USA. I was already a college graduate with my own apartment. He didn't want to work or do anything. Always complained that I wasn't doing enough. I told him he had to work and save money because if I get married I can't live with him. He worked for like 2 months and fell in the job and ever since then hasn't worked. I bought a house with my BF and told him before closing that he needed to find a place because I couldn't afford keeping him in my old apartment and paying mortgage. Because of the pandemic I let him stay for a month but told he needed to move because I need to return the apartment and cancel utilities under my name. He calls everyday asking how I'm doing. He text me love and religious quotes.  It reminds me about the times he was in his country and called me all the time because he wanted to come here. I feel like he is using me because he needs me and is acting like he cares. What do you think? 

He drank and would not even go see his daughter because his ex-wife was there. He was racist and apparently very grouchy. I am scared alcohol would make me that way. He apparently was not racist until eh started drinking and not grumpy. I only knew him when he was an alcoholic and was never close to him, only saw him at reunions and funerals. So how do I avoid being an alcoholic? It runs in my Mom's family (this guy was in her family). 

I have posted before about one of his recent lies where he promised a trip to see family last February and then broke his promise, yet again. I made my plans around it and due to his lie I now can't see the people until at least next year due to COVID-19. I could have last winter. I have hinted at this and he has never acknowledged his lie. Any way to get him to acknowledge his lie or do I just accept he is a deceptive man and move on? Anonymous: He lied last winter. It was before COVID-19. He suddenly backed out to go see a relative with my mother that he had strictly forbidden me from seeing just 2 and a half years before and had used me as a weapon against. He lied a few years before but not as directly. He has told many lies and it hurt his marriage also. He is deceptive. 

They are both Caucasian but my mom speaks with a pretty strong Russian accent and my dad is a normal American man. They are 45 and 34 if that matters.

So I have reconnected with a good childhood friend, we have spent many hours around each other online lately, now when I ask them, they don;t have much information on their siblings, they seem to not know the answer to what their siblings do for a living because they don't like to pry into peoples private lives, so they don't know what teir siblings do for a living, is this a common thing? Is it wrong for me to ask?

I have an STD or STI or something else, and it feels severe, but I can't get treated because my dad is very abusive and if he found out then it'll be worse for me. My older sister (in her thirties) offered to take me to a clinic without my parents knowing when all this corona stuff is over (my dad reasonably isn't letting me go anywhere until it's over, which could be a long time, which just makes me worried for my health even more) but I'm probably going to need medication and it will cost money and wouldn't a prescription require my dad's consent? My mom is out the picture so consulting with her about it isn't an option for me. I'm 16, and I don't have my license yet so I can't go on my own. I just don't know what to do and I'm stuck because all of these laws about parents' consent and money issues and I'm just stressed. I have no idea what I have and if it's something serious, there could be a risk of it spreading to my organs, right? It feels like it's getting worse, and there's no telling how my dad would react. Telling him isn't an option either.

I'm 16 and the first thing I do is go to the couch and start w4nking

I'm a bisexual female that leans towards females; I came out to my mother when I was about 12, which I'm well aware that was a bad idea. She told me to tell her again when I'm 18. I'm currently 17 years old and both of my parents believe I am straight. I'm afraid they won't love me anymore... I love my parents dearly, but I want to love who I want to as well... and I'm afraid they won't support my financial needs when I go to college, like tuition and all... I'm doing well in school, I am top 6% of my class and have a nice gpa, but I feel like my sexuality and love life will mess it all up.  Additionally, parents don't let me date. However, I've been dating this girl online for about 9 months and we've facetimed and called every single day. I know it hasn't been long and it's immature to think but... We plan to go to college together since we both were interested in the same one initially. How and when do I tell my parents about this? I know I've made some immature decisions, but these thoughts keep me up at night. What do I do?

My father walked in on me getting ready to masturbate. My boyfriend called me and I was going to go at it so I told him I was gonna end the call soon, I had like one porn open on my laptop and my dad walked in and thought I was recording porn. I literally want to ******* kill myself and I don't know what to do. 

So, I am a young adult, and grandma has been living with us (i.e. me and my parents) for about a year. When she comes home from work, she always greets my mom and shares conversations with her but never approaches me unless I greet her first. I've always had a pet peeve about people who actively ignore me, (like, when I wave hello and they don't wave back, etc.) even if it's likely not the case, since it makes me anxious (like, did I do something wrong? Are they talking behind my back? Etc. Etc) so it really irks me that unless I initiate a conversation, she won't talk to me. It makes every situation really awkward, and I hate having to feel like I need to make an effort of acknowledging her when she doesn't really care. Another example is when she's at home and I come home from work, she never says hello or asks me how my day was, but she will eagerly do that for my mom when my mom comes home from work. It doesn't help that our bedroom doors are right in front of eachother. I can't help but feel that she dislikes me for whatever reason? I'm not even that outgoing or anything, I'd just appreciate a little acknowledgement here and there from my own grandma, but instead, it feels like I'm a total stranger to her. I just don't get it. But when I do ignore her back, I can't help but feel guilty for some reason. It's so damn awkward Ah.. I need to clarify. If she didn't actually care about me ignoring her back, I would feel that energy and actually be at peace, but the thing is, I get this hostile vibe instead. I know it sounds ridiculous, but she'll sometimes complain behind my back or criticize me about something, without ever confronting me about it. She'll act like nothing is wrong when I talk to her, but... she'll never talk to me. I have tried to talk to her directly about whatever bothers her in the past, but she insists that she has no qualms, and just goes about with her usual attitude. I don't know if it's passive aggression because she'll act like everything is normal when I start a conversation

My boyfriend is nice to everyone but me. He snaps at me for every little thing. From leaving a soda can to bringing the wrong sandwich bag to getting out of work late. He yelled at me for wanting to go to the store to buy a vitamin and yelled to hurry it up but yet it was ok to do favors for hid brothers family. Like getting coffee creamer and corn tortillas because they are taking care of his mother. I sit 5 hours on my only day off to visit his mother and after im exhausted and ask to leave he yells lets go! With his brothers family he plays with their kids and talks with his sister in law with an awesome personality but snaps at me for every little issue. Ive done favors for him and have been kind. I just think.hes either abusive or dislikes me. This is a guy who will treat his whole brothers family to lunch then never bring me lunch on an 8 1/2 shift at work. I also helped him wax his boat and truck and vacuum them. He yelled that i missed a spot wiping off the wax.  What should i do? 

I am a single father. My wife passed away several years ago. My daugher has begun to develop and has been telling me that she needs to get bras, but without her mom around neither of us have any idea what we're doing. Any advice appreciated
