My baby dad ex girlfriend is mad at me because I took a picture of her son while he was asleep in my baby dad bed at my house. He told her hat it wasn't a big deal and she said, "Why would you let her take a picture of my son knowing she wants to fight me over you and putting all of my business on the internet"? And he just laughed. I don't feel I did anything wrong I mean I still want to fight her and I STILL don't like her but that doesn't have anything to do with her son. Is this a reason to be mad at me for taken a picture of her SON?

My older sister is 25 and im 22. I want to be the bigger person whos way more mature I try but my sister cpntinues to shake the bottle til it pops. We never got along growing up. But she and my mom treat my 21 year old brother like a baby. I have schizophrenia bur I dont know what to do i called everyone on my contact list and I was on every question site. I feel helpless and very angry like why would my sister want to sabatodge my life when i am having a gpod time then she comes over and its me isolating myself. Hpw do I avlid feeling some way woth her being extremely provocative. 

I'm 30 and my sister is 32. She's married with a baby son and another son coming along. My sister and I were kids we played together and had so much fun. But as we entered adolescence we started to drift apart. But once she had a child and I would help my mom babysit, it brought my sister and I closer together again. So I can't stop thinking about her. I'd like to spend some time with her and hang out with her but I know she's busy with her family and everything. I want to rekindle some of that love and fun we had together as kids. Plus I find her physically attractive. I'm kind of attracted to her as disturbing as that sounds.

Last night yesterday, my mom came home really mad and agitated from work and before she left work she said to clean up the house and so I did and it took me 2-3 hours to finish. However, I got really tired to sweep the balcony and whipe the dressers so I said I will continue on tomrrow. So, she saw that the balcony hasnt been swept and the dresser hasnt been whiped and she flipped and said " I can never depend on you because you never do anything right." And then she continued to say " I wouldve rathered you didnt clean the bathroom then to not finish sweeping the balcony." and then so on I said "I tried to do everything, but ive gotten fatigue". And then she says, " Then dont do it at all if you cant do it right, look you didnt even mop the floor right I bet you didnt even sweep it properly too." and that point i got really annoyed because i spent my time making sure the floor was clean and that the house smelt really good and I said " you're so ungrateful" as I was sweeping the balcony and cleaning the dresser and then thats when we argued and then she put her hand on me and then I hit her back because i got sick of it she abuses me and calls me useless everyday and says that Im a burden everyday so ive reached my breaking point and cursed at her and i dont mean to curse at her bc i wasnt aware of what I was saying. So she told me to pack my **** up and go and then she took my phone and laptop away so I couldnt be able to contact anyone.  And then she said " I dont care if you get raped or kiddnaped" and then thats when i left to my friends house to spend the night and cry and then a few hours later i heard tht she told my family memebrs that "i ran away" Plus when we were fighting i got hitbadly on my ear and its been ringing for about 14 hours so i dont know if im going to be permenantly deaf on tht ear i am 17 almost 18 in july

I don't smoke. I tried several times - I was looking for something to help my emotional pain other than cutting, as that has very visible effects, but I never liked it. Please don't ask about the cutting, it's a habit. Anyway, my parents found the cigarettes while cleaning my room while I was away. I think I handled the situation pretty well, they called me and asked me about it. I calmly said I cut up the cigarettes and looked at what was inside. A lie, not a very believable one since there were 5 cigarettes, but whatever. My mom didn't think I smoked as I never smelled of cigarette smoke, but was still anxious about the whole thing. Later, I called them again. I explained that I don't smoke, but if I did, that calling me and frantically asking me like that was not the proper way to handle things. They said they thought I had a friend who smokes. I understand why they would be worried, but I also don't think they're the ones to talk as they both started smoking around my age. I'm pretty sure that everything is resolved now, but I can't help but feel a little bit uneasy.  How do I explain the situation to my parents properly, when/if the time comes? Also, don't tell me to ask for help - I did. My parents think everyone working in that field is insane, and every person they work with has hallucinations and thoughts of homicide.

I am 34 still living with my parents and I can't find a girlfriend. I have no passion for anything and I don't enjoy anything. My family doesn't understand me and I have poor social skills. I can't handle living on my own because I make poor choices.

My parents are really strict. I'm 18 and I'm not allowed to watch PG13 movies or even most kids movies. I'm not allowed to watch Spongebob. I'm not allowed to hang out with friends. I'm not allowed to download any apps on my phone. I can pick out my own clothes but she has to see all of them and approve. They made me apply to college using their email and I'm not allowed to access it. They don't want to let me go to college. They think if I even walk in my front yard alone something bad will happen to me. I know they come from a place of love but I'm an adult now and I take care of myself, pay for all of own things, get straight A's in school. What can I do to get them to give me just a little freedom? It was more tolerable when I could go to school everyday but because of corona she's had be quarantined in my room for almost 4 months and I can't even watch any movies I want to watch.

So this person who I hardly know I need to know if we share any relation. When I was really young 6-7 we kissed quite a bit without obviously like not knowing at that age as I was so little ? I have an uncle. His father is no relation to anyone but his mum calls my uncle her father = his grandfather, he calls my uncle his grandfather. Obviously at this age I was so so little I had no idea but I remember it and it haunts me, im not insest or any of that I was just a young kid with no idea it was that. Am I a bad person what do I do? Am I messed up ? I didn't realise but it's haunting me bc I didn't know. Is he related 

I haven't left the house for years and my mom never did anything about it. She never even enrolled me in school. My older sister verbally abuses me. She makes me feel worthless and like everything is my fault. She even tells me to commit suicide. My older half sister gets her boyfriend to harass me every time she visits. My younger brother argues with me every time I try to talk to him and slams the door in my face. My gay cousin just stands there and looks at me, picks fights with me, takes my stuff, and asks me questions to make me feel uncomfortable. I'm afraid to be around them. If I could, I'd never see them again.

So this person has a father who is nothing to do with our family. However, the mother is I think. So I have an uncle and this 'person' which I don't really know well, calls my uncle his grandfather. I'm stressed out thinking we're related because if we are I'm stressing out. Because when I was 6-7 I kissed this person and stuff etc and i was only small so I had no idea then- I'm not insest or any of that I'm just hoping he's not related to me, bc when I was only little I had no idea ?!? Please help.

I used to give him gifts in past years but I chose not to this year because I am so angry with him. I've done work for him the past 20 years with promises he'd pay me but he hasn't given me a single penny. I have done about $1M in work but got $0 cause he's a pathological liar and a con-man.

Im 17 years old and my great grandfather is 85 on his deathbed. Its been easy for everybody but not me. I dont understand why death is so scary to me but to the older adults in my family they take it so easy. My great grandma told me everyone dies someday. How does it actually feel to be old? Are you not scared of death or do you just tell your grandkids like me fake feelings to make us feel better?

So I never had a Dad. When I was 2 my father took off and I never saw him again. I learned he died in 2012. However, my Mom's father took over as father figure. I was and am an only child so cousins became my siblings. We used to have a huge celebration, like a reunion, for my grandfather's birthday (June 20th) on Father's Day every year. It was so special to me since we all scatter at Thanksgiving and Christmas and just do individual visits. Now the grandparents have both died and Father's Day is no longer celebrated. I am sure cousins do with their Dads privately but I have no Dad as my grandfather was basically my Dad. I got far extra attention then the other grandkids since I had no Dad. Plus my Mom and I lived within walking distance of them. So I am 22. Tomorrow will be the 3rd Father's Day since he died. My grandmother died the same year. How do I mourn and how do I make the day special like it was when he was alive? I wanted to do a family gathering myself this year but with Coronavirus Pandemic can't do that. Next year I am going to with the uncles, cousins, etc..... That may or may not work on future Father's Days though. I have to get through tomorrow though. My Mom is away for a friend's 70th. I am aged 22.

Lol

So today was my cousins sons birthday party and for his birthday I got him a basketball and we had it at my uncles and aunts church( it's not actually their church but my uncle is a pastor there but he's not going to be for long ) but anyway they have a gym and me and my cousins husband got to play basketball together and we talked a little about baseball/Softball but I really liked that I got to play against him . Why do I want to be close to him could it be because his daughter passed away or something else please help 

I was watching a movie and there was a sad scene in it. My family and I were all sitting silently and I was sitting on the couch. Throughout the whole movie, I sat pretty still. I moved a bit during some scenes. During the sad scene I moved my legs a bit. I was the only one that moved and it seemed obvious. Did my family think I was getting sad during that scene? Do you think I was disturbing my family by shifting or should I have sat still during the whole movie?

So I been in this relationship for 5 years and I live at his house with his family I don't feel comfortable here and I know he doesn't want me living here anymore because every time we get in arguments he kicks me out  and I'm glad to leave the only thing is he won't let me take my children which are my animals which I brought here to his house 5 years ago he won't let me take my kids and I don't want to come back here once I leave and I don't ever want to see Him again but just don't know what to do I don't want to work things out because it always ends up bad I just don't want to be a part of his life anymore but how can I escape with my children and never see him again all my stuff is in his room and no I cannot sit down and talk to him about this because I already tried and it was a fail please help me I feel trapped and don't know what to do

And others just get them by mistakevlike my parents :D They were 20 and 23

hey everyone, so this is definitely a widely asked question. I'm currently 28 years old and I still live with my mother. I'm currently an icu nurse and have had to save up $95k for the past few years in order to pay for my first two years of grad school, thankfully my hospital will completely fund my last year of grad school. I'm Latina so it's pretty normal for adults to live with their parents if their unwed and still in school. However, once I hit the 30 year old mark I'd be in the latter half of my first year in grad school and by the time I finish my program, I'd be a whopping 32 years old (and you guessed it - probably still living with my mother).  She doesn't charge me rent as her house is paid off and I buy our groceries and pay any bills related to the house upkeep. Only reason I'd be staying home during grad school is because I live at most 15 minutes away from campus. I live in Los Angeles and can comfortably afford a $2k rent while in grad school (I'll be going to usc), I just don't think it'll be a smart thing to do with my money as I am thinking of buying a property right after grad school.  So, I guess I would just like some insight or opinions anyone else has on this situation? Do you consider this kind of leeching or not???

     I mean that sums it up. I'm her daughter. I'll explain the situation.      We had my cousin come to live with us about half a year ago. We barely have the money to support ourselves, and on top of that we have to take care of my grandmother. My mom lost her job and her last husband died. My grandma has 3 cysts on her spine and she is in so much pain she can't move.       My cousin had to go live with my grandma because she's a spoiled brat who doesn't like the dog and god forbid something doesn't go her way. Like I said my grandma can't move to even make her own food. Lee Anne (My cousin) doesn't wake up until around 1 or 2 pm. My grandma also has diabetes and has to have food and maintain a healthy blood sugar, but when she doesn't eat until 3 o'clock there is a very high risk she could slip into a diabetic coma.      Yet my mother still thinks she's better in me than every way. I don't know what to do. 

My father was not very nice growing up. Now that I am older graduated college and was able to get a decent job. He is the nicest but I want to keep distant and I also have other stuff I'm interested in doing. For example, at family parties he forces me to hang out with the 70 year olds when I'm only 26 and I usually hang out with my young cousins. When I see my cousins I get happy and excited and my dad grabs me and tells me to stay with him. I don't feel for comfortable around this? He also shows up uninvited to my apartment and comes in between my relationship and expects to be fed and for my girlfriend to tell him how hardworking he is etc. How do I politely deal with this?

My youngest sister has PTSD from the child abuse as so do I and my 3 other siblings. Her case of PTSD is very extreme and she has mental breakdowns. Whenever my sister has a mental breakdown my mother immediately becomes mad at me as if I caused it! I don't argue with my sister or do anything to make her upset. Somehow I'm the one who she takes it out on whenever any thing happens to her and it's annoying.

He is learning disabled and so my parents excuse him saying silly talk. He is so annoying and I don't like him so shouldn't have to be around him. He also smells so he doesn't clean himself right and there is no excuse for that because he is 21. He lives with his Dad, we have different fathers, and I don't want to have to see him. How do I get my parents to stop welcoming him over. I say if they want to see him they can go to his Dad's house so I don't have to see him. Sorry Foofa, you are wrong. I picked you for best answer by accident, Patricia is who I was meaning to hit best answer for. If you knew my brother Foofa you would not want to be around him either cause he is embarrassing and annoying. I shouldn't have to see him if I don't want and my parents can go see him somewhere else if they want to see him.  

Is that normal or not? Assuming the brother and sister are both single. Let's say they're in their 30s.

My family and I are on a trip right now and I needed a hair tie and I figured my sister had one in her backpack. I came across her vape pod and then found her vape. She is 18 and i know it's legal for her to vape but I just feel weird about her vaping. She recently got in a lot of trouble because my mom found out that she was having sex in our house with her boyfriend. I am starting to think that I don't really no my sister at all and I don't want her to get pregnant or have a nicotine addiction when she's just starting her adult life. Should I keep this to myself or tell my parents?

i'm 17 and while i was at her house i took 200 dollars in cash out of her wallet and put it in my bag and walked out and the next day she started panicking and told my mom that she thinks she lost it and i had to promise on my moms life and my life to her i didn't take it and i feel horrible

My sister's boyfriend is crazy insecure because of his ex. She cheated, put him in jail, lied about him beating her, etc. So when he gets drunk, all those insecurities come out.  Me, my sister, and her boyfriend all decided to get drunk once his kids went to sleep. Me and him were drunk, my sister was not so she could look after me. This upset him, so he started calling my sister a busted *****, you should have seen the way she looked at me it was full of hate, you're a ******* *****, etc. I tried calming him down in my tipsy state trying to reason with him that my sister does care about him. I kept asking why he was so mad and he started screaming at the top of his lungs for me to get the **** out of his house. He also tried to wake up his kids so he could drive away with them. I stopped him which resulted in him screaming and insulting me even more, trying to shove me out of his house, etc. My sister was yelling at me to just leave, I'm only making it worse, etc. Eventually she locked me out and I had my mom come pick me up.  I'm pretty hurt, but I don't understand what I did wrong. I defended her from him, told him to stop shouting because the kids didn't need to hear, etc. But at the end I was the one who needed to calm down and go home. 

Okay here is the story, I understand that spanking your kid is completely normal and I have nothing against it. However, my parents spanked me with a paddle multiple times when I was little and left big bruises on my behind. They always cuss me out and call me "degrading" names like a c u n t or a s l u t yadada. One day I had enough and I lashed out at my stepmom (she is the one who basically turned my dad against me even more) and because of everything that these people say (and do) like my dad will slap me in the back of the head knocking my glasses off because he had a fight with her about "me". My stepmom used to slap me a lot until I got glasses, but after that one day I lost my cool and I screamed that I hated her and I wish that she would die because of everything, and she slapped me which gave me a bloody nose and a black eye. My dad has a very short temper, and once I went downstairs to make my lunch around 7 o'clock and he got so mad that he chased me up the stairs and yelled that he will kill me so I lock my door and wait for him to calm down. He normally will kick me in the legs and leave marks or step on my face (with shoes on) but that does not really leave marks, and when they do slap me across the face they leave red marks. They flip out and do these things when I do something as small as not washing a dish or asking them a question when they are not in the mood,or looking unhappy. Anyway serious answers please, do you believe that they are right? My dad lashes out on me every time they get into a fight, and he lets my stepmom and joins in when she calls me names like a *** stain or an abortion and is perfectly fine with her hitting me. 

So the other day I was at my mom's house (her grandmother) and my daughter who's 17 was with me and we were helping my mother who's in her 80s clean her house and I saw my daughter reach into my mom's purse when she thought no one was looking and took a bunch of cash out, and later when my mom was looking through her purse, she noticed 200 dollars missing. When we got home I confronted her and pretended not to know and told her her grandmother noticed money missing and wondered if she saw her drop it and my daughter quickly denied it and I even made her promise on MY life she didn't take it and she did and kept promising she had nothing to do with it and even said stuff like why would I steal and thats horrible I would never do that and all this. im not too sure what to do now? and how would I tell her I saw her?

She doesn't shower, she lets the garbage pile up to the ceiling and she never throws it out, she takes enormous dumps and clogs the toilet, and she puts her toothbrush in a cup that's riddled with moldy water that creates this disgusting smell that makes me want to puke.  I seriously cannot take being around her because she's so nasty. What should I do? 

So me and my wife just had a daughter a few months ago. I've known my wife for years before we got together and for as long as I known her she's never wanted children at all. She actively dislikes them as she's impatient, hates loud noises, mess, and just everything associated with them. I've always been very iffy about it-if my partner wanted kids we would have kids but if they didn't we wouldn't. But she accidentally got pregnant. We were going to get an abortion but I started to like the idea of having a kid and everyone was telling my wife that she may not like the idea now but once our child arrived she would just fall but I think pressure from her parents was the deciding factor. But the problem is my daughter is here and that didn't happen. My wife is so apathetic and shows absolutely no affection to her and is often agitated/depressed. She's miserable. And I think the physical difference in her body that will probably be for the rest of her life isn't helping. She struggled with depression before and had to stop taking her meds once she found out she was pregnant and she recently got back on them and it's definitely helped but the problem is still very evident and it isn't going away any time soon. Im truly worried about leaving them alone and I don't even know how to even began tackling this.  I'm worried in the short term about the potentially harm/neglect she might inflict on our child which is becoming more of a possibly but also in the long term of their relationship. Now my wife does the minimum- cleaning and feeding. No kisses, playing, etc. I would ideally love for my daughter to not only be not abused but given more than basic care- love and affection and I just don't see that happening. I have no idea how to make a woman who hates children like our child and being a mom.  

My mother in law cut him off, and he is very upset about it that he has to pay for his own cellphone now. My husband asked him to come on over for Father's Day, and called him a sick man. Suddenly, My stepson was calling me when I was at work. I don't call him or text him excepts for his birthday, and Christmas. I received hateful message about his dad all of a sudden. I found out it's because he asked him to come. That's what happened, and also about his grandmother refusing to pay his cellphone. I was upset to be dragged into this drama. He is still fighting with his dad. He now hates me all of a sudden, and said he hates all Asian people. He says to his dad about why his dad didn't pay child support which isn't true. I have documented all receipt, and payment information. I still have them. He then proceed to say "I make more money than you now" to his dad. My stepson Is receiving unemployment, and refused to return back to work because he gets more money.  I haven't responded to my stepson at all. I hate to be dragged into dramatic situation.  He is 24 year old btw, and he gets spiteful, and call his grandmother and dad a name you can't even imagine if they don't give him money. I just feel bad for my husband. I tried to talk to him saying no matter how much you hate him, he is still your dad and you can have only one father.  Anyone can give wise advice to my husband?  Thank you 

Im thinking about talking my sister of going to therapist she has a anger problem ever since this one time when we use to be in foster care she got a social worker fired ever since then she thinks shes all gangster such a bad *** think she can beat up anyone she would stand up to anyone even is bigger then her even if is a guy and even if you say something to her that she dont like she will start yelling at you because she think you say something mean to her she never been the same since this accident she been like this for over 11 years she think she can do anything she thinks shes on top of the world and no one can stop her like seriously I just want my sister back maybe a therapist can help.
