Because I do not trust my brother-in-law and I think he is cheating on my sister because he is nervous when he is at home and he is on his cell phone and sometimes he makes excuses to leave

I'm a 21 year old, fourth year mechanical engineering student with a 3.04 GPA who still lives with his parents.   The last three months at home have been nearly relentless arguing.  My dad and I get along reasonably well, however my mother and I have a very strained relationship.   She has repeatedly sworn at me, threatened to hit me, called me  "lazy" and "a crappy kid", suggested that she "wishes I was never born", blamed tensions between her and my father on my own birth, and told me "maybe you should get out".  I really do need to leave as soon as possible, however this same mother that wants me out refuses to let me find work due to her (legitimate?) fear of me contracting COVID-19 and accidentally bringing it home.  Despite this, I've been job-hunting in secrecy.  I have some money in my savings account, but not enough to leave today, and my best friend is currently attempting to help me fill a position as a secondary press operator at a nearby factory.  If I do get this job, I'm afraid that my mom will either take away my car keys so I'm unable to commute to work... or worse, immediately kick me out without allowing enough time for me to save enough of my income to finally leave.  If I don't get hired, I'll remain stuck in an increasingly unstable situation at home.  This is a possibility, but it's taking a toll on my sanity.  I live in the United States.What are my options?

She is only 20. She always leaves the house in booty shorts & crop tops, half of them show her chest area, not to mention she has tattoos at the top of each of her arms, she is messing around with 3 different guys as well. As a father should I be concerned ?

if your parents tell you you can't go out and you say "F**k you" and walk out the door. If you were the parent what would you do.

This story is long and complicated but I will do my best to keep it short. So, I don't have a relationship with my mothers side of the family because they are abusive and manipulative. Its been this way since I was born. They don't contact me, never have even though when I was younger I made many attempts. My mother and I got into some major fights last year due to the fact that she doesn't want to be in my life, but about every 5 years, she will call. She didn't even call me when I was hospitalized and ill for several years due a very serious disease even though I reached out to her numerous times. My mother is also manipulative and abusive. Now, my brother is getting married and my mother wants my address for the wedding. My mother is isn't even helping with the wedding for my brother, so I gave my address directly to my brother. Today, my aunt (whom I haven't spoken with in probably 8+ years) sends me a FB message saying that a distant cousin of mine is doing well and wants to give each of her cousins $250, and she wants my address. I LITERALLY don't even know this distant cousin and maybe have seen her a few times in my life. This is very strange, and I think they are trying to get my address. I really don't wish to share my address, they have me on FB and my phone #, and if they need to communicate with me they can reach me that way. Am I wrong for thinking this is VERY strange??? Btw, the aunt who wants to give me this money is my mothers sister.  

I know she didn't literally mean Baghdad but how do I get my father to believe me. I had done a prank at dinner with some insects and that is what got her so mad at me. Then she acted nice to my Dad. She does the same to my brothers but they aren't as scared of her as I am. My Mom is going to try and get it so I never have to see her again but how do I get my Dad to believe me she said this. He thinks I am lying and I don't lie.

She has a boyfriend. Her last boyfriend was smart and got out. This new guy has hung around a while. What would make someone date an infectious person?

Recently I've been going through a lot the past year , I've been straining out my life and I live with my grandma because my parents won't let me stay . My grandma has been acting belligerent with me over little things such as leaving my cord plugged into the wall when it's not in use she believes it's wasting electricity and unplugs it . She broke my laptop, my PlayStation and I'm afraid she doesn't know the consequences of her actions , she swerved almost into parked cars , she gets too close to them when she's driving . She also gets frustrated when she doesn't get her way when she wants it her way now , and she throws a temper tantrum about it threatened to kick me out over me trying to wash the dishes for her . Someone help .

This isn't the first time he has put his hands on me out of anger. I think the reason why he keeps on doing it is that my mother would almost never say anything to him about it (& I didn't either). Just because domestic violence and physical fighting is normalized in Nigeria, doesn't make it right and excusable. Don't get me wrong, I did let it slide a few times (the ones when I would hit him first & the times when we were both minors), but this time, he crossed the line. He banged on my door, demanding that I open it so he could fight it. He slammed my head against the microwave, shattering it and even put me in a headlock. I resorted to slamming a plate on him to get him to stop.  I don't think I want a close relationship with him anymore. I want to be polite, but at the same time, I want to stay away from him. I feel like I am also doing this because I've dealt with males always putting their hands on me when I never touched them first (even my own father!!!). I'm fed up with men thinking that I am a perfect physical/verbal punching bag for their insecurities and anger issues. In middle school, a guy would do it for validation and attention because I wasn't popular and nobody liked me. Others would do it for bullying because they hated me for being ugly.

Me and my mother don't have the greatest of relationships. But it works (somehow). She is bipolar and unpredictable so I left home at 18. I'm now having my first baby and she just picks and chooses when she wants to be involved or ask how my day is (I try to be involved with her day) anyway, whatever. She keeps getting second hand baby stuff. I understand she doesn't have much money but it's like she's giving me any old crap and it's upsetting me. I don't want some nasty *** secondhand baby stuff for my first child. She always said second hand was awful but now she expects me to be grateful for it... yuck. What do you think

I am 25 years old. In February 2021 (Imwill be 26 then), one of my favourite drag queens is touring the UK and I wanna go to it. The event is 18+ and is at a nightclub. However, my mum will not let me go by myself because it's at a nightclub and I've never been to a nightclub before. She said that she will only allow me to go if my sister wants to go - and there's every possibility that she won't. I am autistic and I'm generally shy around people that I'm not very well acquainted with. Is she treating me unfairly? Try telling that to my mum, Emily. No matter how old I am, my mum will never let me go anywhere unaccompanied. I always have to go with someone else.

I want to live with my dad but my mom won't let me how can I force her to let me live with my dad or I will make my mom's life a living hell so I can live with my dad 

So uhm my brother talks bad bout my back with his friends and people I know u might say that it isn't a big deal because his friends aren't my friends but I feel like he is making me have a bad repetition and trying to change the way people view me. My bed room is next to his so it's not hard to hear me at all he mostly talks bout me during the night so I am assuming he thinks I am sleeping but I am not so I can hear him talk bad about me and it honestly damages my self esteem he talks about how annoying I am how much of a cry baby I am, how I don't care about my education, etc. and it hurts me so bad how the fact that one he is my brother and I don't think any sibling should be talking trash about their other siblings backs two he is making people view me as a "bad person" of all of the words he is describing me as 3 he is really damaging my self esteem and I'm already depressed enough. I need help I am too scared to confront him about it bc I am scared he might think I'm stupid or something can anyone give me advice please it's serious, thanks...

I'm 18 just graduated hs. And I hate my life so much. I live in my living room and have siblings but they get the rooms. I've slept on the floor for the past years and just moved to the living room. I'm the only kid with goals and dreams but I can't even sleep on a bed. And whenever I express my feelings I get told to move out when I don't even know how to!! I get kicked out all the time just for expressing my feelings so I don't anymore. My mom and little sister has been gone for almost a month and it was the best time of my life and they came back today and it hasn't even been 24 hours and she already got that man that causes even more hell. All they do is get drunk, yell, and do crazy stuff. It's hell when she's just here but when he's here it's x10!! I need to tell my job I need to become full time or I need to find another one. I just hate my life so much! My older brother is Ike 24 and works in fast food but gets his own room! My sister is 20 and never has a job and gets the room! I'm 18 and got my first job when I was 14 and has literally always supported myself!! :(( I'm not gonna kms but I'm just very sad and lonely. Please please please give me helpful words and motivation. I used to look up to the people at school but covid stopped that and I'm falling behind on applying to schools and I'm just a mess with no help :(  I want to move out so bad but I don't even have a car or anything I have nothing. I don't wanna give up

I have a sister who is much younger than me (she's 10). Recently I've been noticing some odd behavior from her whenever someone is upset/ angry around her and it worries me. Earlier today, the computer was running slowly and I was getting annoyed and starting angrily complaining about it to her. When she walked up to the computer and I turned to say something to her, she flinched. I realized I had been complaining loudly but what really concerned me was her reaction. She said she thought I was going to hit her! My anger wasn't even directed at her and I only turned my head in her direction. Later while we were downstairs, my mom yelled from upstairs that she needed to come up and said don't ask why just come. My sister started crying and repeating "what did I do?" as she ran up (all it was was some crumbs on the couch...). I don't know if I never noticed her fear when people were angry or if it started now. I'm getting concerned that something may have happened. My relationship with my parents is iffy, but they've never physically done anything to us, as far as I know. They do yell quite a lot (over water bottles in bedrooms, phones, etc all usual things) and I've always despised the sound of them screaming but is this something more? Is my sisters behavior reason to be worried or am I looking into things too much? 

She did this a few years ago and I have been scared of her ever since. My parents told me just to avoid her so I have and only had to see the bully once in the last 4 years and that was a wedding where I said the words "HI aunt ......" and she said "oh hey there" and that was it. She is a very frightening person and was not always like this. She began abusing people middle aged. Not sure how her young adult children go about managing it or if she abuses them. They are all nice. She's divorced but divorced long ago in her 30's so it is not that.

So I text him sometimes (he hates if when people call him because he always claims that whenever he gets a call he is driving). When I do text him I know its at times he is home. But whenevee i try to start a concersation he always gives me one word responses and when I answer him back he sometimes doesn't even answer me. That kind of makes me sad. My mom doesn't do this. I recently got married (october 2019) and I do not live at home but my dad would do this when I lived at their house. My dad sleeps at my grandparents house (he never sold it after they passed away. He goes to my moms during the day but sleeps at the grandparents house. Whatever works for their marriage i guess) and when I would text him then he did the same thing. But he talks to me normal in person. What gives??? He gets mad when he receives a phone call so thats why i text him (and whenever someone texts him while i am in the car with him at a redlight he hands me the phone all annoyed to see who it is)

I refuse to consider myself related to them. I hate my step-Mom because she is the reason my Dad left my mother. I have not spoken to my father since 2011 and only met my step-mother once. I hate both with a seething passion. I want both to be in hell forever when the world ends. I make sure I cut them down several times a day to people. My Mom and I have a dart bored we throw darts at a picture of them I found on Facebook. She hates them with the same passion I do. I also hate my brother because he kept a relationship with our Dad. I will not acknowledge him even when I see him. My Mom sees him a little since it is her son and that is her right but I refuse to. I hate him. My hate is justified and powerful and I will not ever forgive them including my brother. I will never speak to their families and I block any relative on my Dad's side who tried to Facebook friend me. So how do I make sure that no one associates me with my father who I AM NOT related to anymore but was by DNA and so am considered by some to be related? Same deal with my brother who I consider myself divorced from for good reason. I even hate my brother's 2 kids and for good reason cause they see my DNA father. I refuse to look at them the 1 time I met them and for just reasons boycott my brother's wedding (my father and step-mother were there and I hate them and my brother). Any ideas therefore on how do I make sure no one associates me to them? Pearl: I live with my Mom

Hello, Im 15 and I've always been close to my mom. considering I'm her only child I'm her 1# concern, but it has gotten to the point where I cannot live my life. I don't get into trouble and I always stay home. I have my boyfriend who used to live in my state who is flying back this week for 4 days and I want to spend time with him. My mom won't let me spend the night at the hotel with him even though his dad will be in the same room. I understand her concerns but she thinks I'll be sex trafficked and raped. My boyfriend respects my decision of no sex and its always been like that but she's acting like Im going to get knocked up or something. Im just tired of the lifestyle I'm living. Im almost 16 and she doesn't let me do anything. She won't even let me drive out of my neighborhood which is beyond ridiculous especially considering I'm very mature for my age. Like I said I understand her worries as she is a Mom and I'm her only child but I don't know what to do anymore. How can I convince her to stay the night with my boyfriend and his dad? Any help in this matter would be appreciated, thanks.
