i was trying to clean the table and i used a cleaning product that ripped of a little bit of the paint off. it was a few tiny spots on the edge of the table. I told my dad right away and i admit i did something dumb. i kept saying sorry and my parents are still very mad at me. its been a while since then and they still are guilt tripping me.  i offered to give money to help fix it but they dont care. 

went through a break up of over 2 years a month ago.  We talked about moving in together/getting engaged in the next year. The break up was of the blue, but as specifics came out I know it was the best for both of us. My future looks different, it has been an adjustment to my routine, & most of my friends are coupled up making me feel alone. My friends have been very good sounding boards & have provided a distraction, but the pain of being newly single is still there. For Father's Day next week my sister is flying in with her SO. They will be at my parents' house for 4 days I just found this out. I live 2 hours from my parents' and had planned on coming for a long weekend. However, I feel uncomfortable being the 5th wheel of 2 couples & having to spend 3 nights with them. I know they are family, but being newly single it's hard to see my younger sibling still happy with her SO like I was. She has told me she doesn't want to make me uncomfortable & I won't be a 5th wheel, but it's just how I personally feel.  I know this same situation is going to continue to occur with other events. I want to be happy & it's not because I'm miserable my sister should be as well. However, with how new things are I'm thinking of shortening my stay for one day/one night. I don't want my sadness to ruin their weekend. I want to know how others on here have dealt with similar situations, what has helped, & if I'm being over the top about this and just need to fake happy through it?

I often wonder why does anything matter if I'm going to die at the end and lose everything I had(memories, my beauty, my family, etc). My plan is to think that what counts is to have all those things while being alive and to live well.

(Therein) in the Fire (wailing) which resembles the braying of an *** (is their portion, and therein they hear not) the voice of mercy and intercession nor will they hear the sound of exit and comfort nor will they be able to see. 100. In it they will wail. In it they will not hear. ( 100 ) For them therein is heavy sighing, and they therein will not hear.

For example my 98 year old grandma still thinks you can earn a living delivering the newspaper or delivering milk (no one delivers milk anymore). She thinks the internet is full of wizardry tricks that the devil invented, etc etc.

I don't have the best relationship with my family. To make this a little easier, my family (mother, father, brother) have mental issues and tend to be narcissistic. This guy was 27 and I was 15 or 16 at the time. When I first met him, through my brother, he was really cool. I was never aloud to go out and make my own friends because I am a female, skinny, and beautiful (they feared I would get kidnapped, rapped, etc.). However, they would let me go over to this guys house. We would play video games together and order pizza or go skate around a park. It started off fun. Then he quickly told me that he wanted me much more and how amazing he is at sex and I should have sex with him. I felt pressured and scared. He told me not to tell anyone so I didn't. I tried to go to the cops (during this whole thing) and they never took me seriously and called me a P.O.S and a terrible teen. My family didn't help my cause during this situation because they never believed me either. He rapped me for about a year and I couldn't get away from him. I have PTSD because of how bad it was (verbal, emotional abuse). I can't get him out of my head. I'm scared that he will do this to other young teens and I don't want that to happen. I want to save them before its too late. I don't want them to go through what I went through. I'm 22 years old and I want justice. How do I go about doing this? Any advice? Thank you.

In the beginning of spring semester in college I was doing well in my math course and after switching to online it became increasingly difficult. My math teacher's curve was weird too (a 74% and up is considered a C). My grading option was switched to Pass/No Pass so my GPA wouldn't be affected. So I actually ended up getting an EW (Excused Withdrawal) and I still got A's in all my other classes and I had A's in fall semester and 1 B in winter (My GPA is now 3.913). So i'm retaking my math in the summer but now my dad is all mad at me and I explained what happened and everything but he's just so mad and he was just insulting me and saying all these things. And now he says he doesn't trust me and all my privileges are being taken away (I assume that means my phone). I know I made a mistake but what should I do?

My older brother in his early 20s is constantly getting into heated arguments and fights with our parents. This has been going on for years, and the arguments get worse as my brother has been responding more nastily to arguments now.  At the moment, he's frustrated with his life as he still lives with us, and he just wants to move out, but can't afford to as his part time job doesn't pay enough and he's still studying at uni. I told him to apply for placement, but he refuses as he doesn't want to spend another year here, as he can't bear living here. He's jealous of me as he feels our parents treat me better and have been bad parents to him, just because I'm allowed to do things at a younger age.  He has become really horrible because of these things to the extent where he tells his friends and co-workers about fights at home, lies as much as he can, and he trashes our name by saying our parents are nasty people. He believes our parents don't want him to be successful and want him to fail in life, and they'd rather I succeed. I can't stand the way he treats our parents, and how he is at home, so I love it when he's gone out for the whole day, working, or is at uni as he can't be horrible at home.  He refuses to take part in family life, and wants to be away from us. I feel like I've lost a brother 

im 17 boy, some friends are okay to be naked in front of the father, but i feel embarrassed, and about you guys?

My 28 yr old daughter moved back home last June. We have not been getting along. So at the start of the pandemic I said let's be separate. It has been 3 months and we have had countless hours of discussion. Now she is getting emotionally beaten every day by my inaction. And she is physically beating me for my past actions. How do we move forward? She does not have a job and so cannot move out. She will not agree to ground rules of safety.

My mom is obsessed with getting to appointments like a half-hour early or something (that's hyperbole, I know but it's what it feels like when I have an appointment she has to take me to).  Meanwhile, I'm fine with arriving somewhere around 5 minutes before I'm supposed to be there.  How did someone like me get a mother like her?

I need opinions. My fiancé and I are due in December with our first baby. We still haven't found out the gender yet and won't be able to for at least a few more weeks. My fiancé has always had an extremely strained relationship with what remains of his family and he has resented them all of his life. They treated him poorly and some of the things he tells me he endured leave me jawdropped. Before we ever conceieved he told me that he would gladly take my last name when we married because he has no good feelings towards his family name. It made me cry with happiness, my father suddenly passed away five years ago and I am the only daughter he had. His name ends with me if I change it to my fiancés. Skip ahead to about a year ago, his father passed away. We were given notice that he was in the hospital and suddenly my fiancé cared. So much so that he arranged for us to travel states by bus so we could try to see his father before he passed. We made it just in time but while we were down there we got into a huge argument. He wanted to leave his father plugged in to the machine keeping him alive to get a second opinion. His father was fading quickly and to me this seemed very inhumane, he was diagnosed with cancer again and this was the end for him. He also had a full blown MRSA infection. I told my fiancé he needs to just gather the family and we can all say goodbye to him. (continued)

My great grandmother Rose grew up in a family that showed no love she also had an evil stepmother growing up and her dad chose her  stepmother over my great grandmother her mom died when she was 5 and her dad remarried a mean nasty women who had two daughters that are about her age she made rose do all the household chores like clean cooking and taking out the trash and she made her step sisters do nothing her dad didn't do anything when her dad died everything went for the stepmom her stepmom even told made my grandmother sleep in the basement and was treated like a slave when my great grandmother was 18 she met her Prince Charming my great grandfather Mel and she and him married when she was 19 and moved 9000 miles away from Roses step family and gave birth to my grandmother Arianna  Rose and Mel are in heaven now  This is not a troll  My great grandmother stayed positive idk how she was able to break the cycle of abuse but she did it when my great grandmother's mother died she told her to stay kind and positive 

I don't know what's good for me I feel so depressed. What's the best option 

Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.

Entitled 10 y.o. SD snuck into our garage and stole some items from a box then entered the house and stole some things there. Dad caught her red-handed but no real consequences.Since she will probably go back to that box again I moved the tempting items to another place. I was thinking of putting something in the box she stole from. I don't know if there is something that launches confetti. Since the box is black and orange I was thinking of putting a bloody head or scream face in there and if she freaks I can play dumb and say since box is black and orange I put Halloween stuff in there.  Any suggestions?  I do pray for her. I was thinking of a prank to play here.  The kids prank each other all the time. Its seriously no big deal. I'm not talking about traumatizing her. And I wouldn't prank my dog. They don't get it.

This is when he is mad or they are arguing. I hate it when he does and mom screams. Usually he doesn't do it too bad but yesterday he sat on his belly and beat him as much as he could until she was unconscious.

I'm a 20 year old Mexican female. When I was 18, I went to live at a dorm near my college, but I'm now staying with my mom due to the pandemic. I study fisheries engineering and acting at the same time and I'm trying to gain as much accomplishments as possible to become a good actress in the future. I speak English, Greek and French besides Spanish, I'm a good swimmer, I'm currently writing a novel in English, which is going to be published and I draw and paint. I'm planning on moving to the UK/France/Italy after gaining an acceptable resume in acting. I live in a terribly conservative society. I don't care if I have sex with someone before marriage, but my mom says like:"Our neighbour's daughter has been in France for 10 years! She's now 27 and no man has ever loved her! She says that French people don't care much about marriage and women should ask men to start a relationship with them and live with them at the same house!". I told my mom:"It's not very different from being married to someone. She should ask a man out, start a relationship with him and then, move into a house with him after a while.". She said:"Oh, her daughter says that she's not a whore! It's so horrible to live with someone for years and then break up with him! Then, she'll have to find another man!". I said:"But French people don't call such women "whores". They're just normal women in their society!". She said:"But we're Mexicans! We know what is wrong or right for us!". I'm a freethinking individual and I can't stand it when my mom says such things. But I can't express my thoughts in front of her, because I know she's ready to judge me. She has already suspected that I want to move to Europe, only to sleep with men!!!

My brother in law has been going through a messy divorce. He recently got full custody of his 3 children. The place  he was renting a room at starting hinting he should look for another place to live w/ his 3 kids with him. Well out of compassion for the kids we offered him to stay with us for 1 month for free so he could save up for his own place. We have a large family and nobody else offered him a place to stay. Unfortunately we only have a small 2 bedroom but we did our best to accommodate them in our living room. We even bought them a nice expensive large queen air mattress for them to sleep on. Well it's been 2 weeks & I'm ready to tell him to go. He stays out until midnight or later w/ his 3 kids & has even gotten to the point where he has his kids jump in through a window because the door was locked. Well being close to midnight we thought he wouldn't be so irresponsible to have his kids out and about at that hour so we assumed he was staying the night at another family members house. He jumps his kids from home to home having sleepovers or what have you even though he has a place to stay here. My point is u r not paying rent, we've opened up our small home and have tried to make you as comfortable as possible here with ur 3 kids so WHY are you jumping from house to house or staying up with 3 young children at MIDNIGHT? If u have another place to stay u should go live there because our house is obviously too small to just have u coming and going as u please. My question is, is that too much to ask? Am I exaggerating? To have him either stay here and stop hopping around or go live somewhere else and to come home at a decent time?

Okay I'm in my early 20s and so is my fiance. I'm 20 weeks pregnant with our son who I just found out had a hole in his heart due to a hospital visit from abdominal pain. My fiances father just got out of prison is 50 years old doesn't have a job or car and lives with my fiances granddad and mooches  off anyone  who allows him to. Well today when we went to the hospital his dad wanted to get his son to help him get cooper  out of the burned down building that he burned down with a cigarette  when he was high when I had plans to take my fiance to a job fair long story short all hell broke loose his dad acted like a tiddy  baby because  I want better for his son when he needed to be getting all this done before our son is born. All the stress gave me cramps and this pregnancy hasn't  been easy since the beginning but we get to the hospital and my fiance only stays there with me for 5 mins then goes to run out to his daddy to smoke cigarettes and talk about nonsense while I had to go through hell and find out about my baby sons heart by myself and the testing they did some of it was painful. But the first thing his dad ask me was did they  give you any pain medication?? I said no and he said damn because we could have made some money. Like wtf seriously??? His dad has always been like this from what I heard and has mooched  off good hearted people and stole alot he doesn't even act like he wants his son to grow up and be a man. Can I get this man put somewhere? Opinions please!!

I have parents who got married and only spent less than a year together before having me and my twin brother. Our whole childhood, while we aren't spoiled, they have made our whole family dynamic about me and my brother and our success and happiness. We both get good grades and work hard. Now we are finished with high school, and soon it's time for college to begin. My brother decided he wanted to go to a nursing program about an hour away from home, while I had initially planned on going to a business program in the city, I felt called to alter my plans to go out of state. Originally I am from another city about 400 miles away from where we live now, and my ext. family owns a compound that I could live on rent free and go to college about 10 minutes away from there. My mother loved this idea because I could help my grandmother around her property and afford to pay out of pocket for college. My dad however is extremely opposed to this idea because he insists it would be completely unaffordable. The property I would live on runs on free well water and trash is covered by property taxes, so my only additional expenses would be electricity, car insurance, and utilities, which I have properly budgeted for. I have a nice job offer down there and I know I could make it work, but my dad is willing to make my family cut financial ties with me and stop talking with me if I go against his plans to make me stay at home. Would it be entirely wrong to just get ready to move after summer?

if he´s naked in front of other man i think its okay, but in front the mom i think its weird, what you think?

When I was little I was daddy's little girl he spoiled me so much & played with me... My parents divorce f**ked me up as a child because of their hatred toward each other, it made me confused about my parents character & if I could trust them. They both talked so much **** about each other when I was a baby. I am rebellious, & free spirited, which doesn't align with any of my family I'm the "black sheep". My dads health is really bad and he works his life away & never has time for me anymore, & I've taken him for granted even though at times he's really been there for me. Now he never calls me, but he'll give me money if I need it. I don't think he's a truly happy inside,.. I am jealous of my step mom & step sister that they get to spend more time with him... I'm upset because his wife hated me when I was going through a phase as a teenager & he stayed with her. I love my dad but he is confined & it feels as though his heart is dying like he has no spirit... I love him & it hurts that we aren't close & we cannot be... my mom on the other hand verbally abused me my whole life growing up & is emotionally unstable so I don't want to be around her because she makes me feel like ****, even though she's now trying to heal herself. My relationship with my family is really bad because I'm different then them when it comes to my beliefs and my spiritual journey. It breaks my heart & I don't know what to do because my dad doesn't listen to me, I feel like he hates me....

My partner didn't have a very good upbringing, he ended up in care with his sister. His mother was abusive towards him, she would hit him, she kicked him off the settee and he has a dent in his skull, she rubbed a dirty nappy in his face, would leave him alone in the house and lock him in the attic. He went into care but has turned out an amazing person.  His mother says his dad was abusive towards her but my partner says his mother was the abusive one towards his dad. She always plays the victim.Partner's brother has 2 children who she has babysat, his sister has a child who sees her also. Partner says his mother has changed but she recently called his 5 year old niece a **** so his brother and sister in law aren't speaking to her which I don't blame them. Partner always says he hates her aswell. When his mother visits our house, she slags his father, nan (her mother) and brother off, even wishes her own mother dead. I find her over the top, everyone else is always the bad guy, everything is drama. I hate her because of all the stuff my partner has told me.My partner knows I'm worried about the baby with her but says she's not going to ask for the baby as soon as it's born.Am I wrong in trying to keep the baby from her? I do not trust that our baby will be safe and will constantly worry or do I give her a chance. My family are so different and I've been brought up in a loving home, I don't think my partner realises how worried I am, he seems to not worry as much as me. 

she said cheating would be with guys or if she tried to hide it from me.

I've been married to my wife for 2 years now. When I first got introduced to her mother & sister, we all hit it off perfectly. Her mom was the sweetest to me, same with her sister. They included me in everything, would call/text randomly to check up on me and all. My wife and I went through a lot of hurdles together. She lied to me on multiple occasions and even stole money from my bank account. She also stole money from her mother & sister. At this time my wife wasn't on speaking terms with them both because she felt guilty so I tried to mediate and help them reconcile. A couple months ago her mom & her sister started giving me the cold shoulder & started blaming me for my wife's wrong doings. Saying that ever since she met me she changed a lot. Mind you her mom & her sister would always tell her  that I helped her a lot in very positive ways & that it was clear that I care and love her very much. So to me this came as a surprise. They started ignoring me & talking bad about me behind my back. Her mom has already came to me telling me so much stuff of how it's all my fault for everything that her daughter is going through and has done. I respectfully replied and defended myself because well my wife doesn't do so. She lets them bad mouth me & never stand up for me. I've tried making amends endless amount of times and continue to get ignored by both. Now I want nothing to do with them until they have the respect of apologizing to me. Am I wrong? Any advice?

I'm a 17 year old male and she is 18. It's literally so annoying. One night she came into my room while I was sleeping and put a cold metal bar on my sole. My toes wrapped around it like a baby's toes. She started laughing and this is when I woke up. Other stuff such as coming into my room to wake me up which is fine, obviously. The thing is that she tells me to get up immediatly and doesn't leave. I get a morning wood like any other guy so I can't stand up in front of her. She also just comes into my room while I try to play games. My parents don't care and tell me that I should stop being so bitchy. They are only like 40 so maybe they are too young to care.

I'm 23 & I still live @ home. This is not by choice, I have to pay $500, buy groceries, my own phone plan, and my own insurance . My dad has started acting mean, cold and nasty towards me. His anger is out of control that I have 2 tread lightly around my dad because I never know wen he will burst into a violent rage. For example, 2 months ago some1 stole my dad's credit card number and used it in California. This credit card was joint so I had 1and my dad had 1.  I never used it because my dad would always yell at me . So 1 day I was laying in my room and suddenly my dad charges into my room and yells several profanities. He tried to strangle me with his bare hands & yelled that he will kill me. I'm grateful to God that I was in the fetal position and tucked my head close to my body so he couldn't really get to my neck. He said that I was the one who went to California & used the credit card. (This is false). Mind you, me and my father live in the same home, we take the same bus to work, we work at the same place, heck our desks are about 50 feet away from each other! To this day my dad still believes I went 2 California & used his credit card. I don't know any1 in California!  My dad is violent towards me & says things like "you are the dumbest person I know." He spit on me, but no actual spit came out &we were a few feet apart. He accuses me of prostitution. He calls me a thief, liar, loser, dumb, wicked soul, selfish, a waste & said he regrets me & sending me to college. 

Whenever I go places with my mom, people always ask if I am her daughter. It's so weird. Recently, my mom had to go to the hospital and I went with her. The nurse called her in. The nurse said "that lady that came in with you" meaning me. My mom then said to him "that's my daughter."  Then today when we went to get haircuts, my mom said she would get her haircut first and the stylist said to my mom ok, and she's your daughter while looking at me like they were unsure.  My mom always thinks it's really funny how they don't know that. My mom is in her late 50's, I am 27. Why do people get confused about this?

I remember arguing with my sister about this, she called me entitled for saying I was owed. In 2018, my dad and stepmom went to San Francisco without me, lying about the reason they were going, and my dad even acted proud about the fact that he wasn't taking me. I felt like them not giving me a trip would be letting him get away with treating me like that...  Would you say feeling owed is entitled and spoiled? Or reasonable considering context? 

I don't know his age, maybe 25/30, but he's so sad, handsome and lonely that I can't help but love him. He always wears either coats, dark green, beige or black/grey colors, looks like he got out of ww2. He might be from poland or russia, has blond hair and green eyes, a long and thin face with masculine features. He never smiles. Once there were no seats and he stood up holding himself to the bus handles and there were some popular girls there and he avoided to touch them at all cosr. Another time I only found a place close to him, my mp3 player fell between his feet and he gave it to me. I said thanks he didn't say anything and kept staring at the windows. Of course he was trying not to touch me in any way, although he is tall and thin and was probably uncomfortable.
