I was molested, can't remember my exact age, by my step brother. He was not charged with anything but i do remember it happening on multiple accounts. I don't remember details but i do remember some of it and my mom defends him with her life, and he is not her real son. He would have been 16-17 and i was 4 or 5. I remember going to the child advocacy center and talking to police but nothing came out of it... Is there anything that can be done? My mom and family are calling me awful names saying im lying but i'm not. A young 5 year old girl should not act out sexually and that is exactly what i did. My mom is now threatening to call CPS and take my son away when i haven't seen her since i was 7. She has not even met my son who i take extemely good care of. She is doing everything she can to hurt me.. What can i do?

His religion is the gym. If I say "I am so sad I cannot see most my friends this summer because of Coronavirus" his response is "go to the gym and work out vigorously". If I say "I am sad Grandma died" his response is "well work out vigorously as that is what she would want you to do". If I am suffering from depression he says "work out" and I know there is some truth to that helping but I wish he would give some empathy. It is not just me he does it to but all of his children. How do I fix this?

Coronavirus has not fully gone away here in North Carolina so I am going to wait. Plus a relative had it real bad in the other side of my family though that relative is in Virginia and the other side of my family. But I will postpone this until August or maybe even September. 

I'm a 17 year old adult. I have a good immune system, and I like to go out and party. My dad set a curfew for me at 10:00 pm! That is ridiculous, so I told him to go kill himself and now he has grounded me from going out. I still go out anyway, and now he has cut my allowance. What would you do if you had such a bad father?

I'm going over to a friend for a whole week. My parents have no other children so they will be all alone. They are both 38.

with all this race crap that doesn't exist (proven by cops also abusing an old white nan). are we headed to another war due to the bad people who keep rioting and protesting like freaks

When a woman has a baby, do you see it as her bearing her man a child or as a a man and woman equally creating a new life? Personally, I see it as the woman bearing her man a son or daughter, because they take his last name anyway, plus in genealogies, its the male line that is most important and it is the man who has the seed and determines the gender.

My siblings give me absolutely no respect whatsoever, and I'm not allowed to discipline them in any way or I get in trouble . And I find that really frustrating because that's the only way they will start to do what I ask them and respect me. My mom really needs help and has no one else but still I just feel like I don't want to be in a position where I'm being treated with disrespect and can't do anything about it, so I had to refuse 😢😢 they're really horrible disrespectful kids who give me a hard time 

I'm turning 27 this year and still living with my parents. The problem is that i don't know what work I'm gonna find since its not related on my job which is IT.

How can I cast a revenge spell on my cousins? I'm Super Pissed that one of my cousins had a baby on the same day as my cousin's birthday, that makes me so angry. And also they are going on vacation on the same month as I am. I am super pissed and I wanna put bad spell on them so they could suffer. This is not a troll Im really pissed.

My son has been married to this woman for many years. They have 3 grown children. We all used to be close, but after their first child and on going issues between her and my daughter she changed. We used to visit often then one day she says that we have to call first. That was absurd in my opinion. I and my daughter now live 800 miles away from my son. She refuses to visit. My son comes alone. My grandsons (her sons) do not even know me or their dad's side of the family and it seems as if they don't want to either. Not too long ago she and I would text each other. She'd share pictures... and then one day after I informed my son that his sister, myself and his niece would be coming to visit them for a while I got a text from my daughter in-law saying that now is not a good time, but that she'd make sure my son comes for a visit with us soon. Shortly after that, my son told me that he's planning a visit in July sometime. Ever since she text me, letting me know that we would not be coming for a visit she stopped texting, won't respond to texts. That was a month ago. I told my son that she has blocked me but he changes the subject. How do I make him see that his wife is trying to divide us all? 

who is a mother

Please help. My brother will be 18 years old and he REALLY hates taking a shower. He takes a shower every 2 weeks!! And he keeps on the same clothes as well. I tell him every single day to take care of his hygiene. He smells so bad I can smell his sweat even if we're 2-3 feet apart. As well as his teeth...last time he brushed his teeth was 6 weeks ago. He said it's enough to gargle with water. I can't take this anymore especially because we share the same room. I bought him a deodorant that HE chose so he can use it and he refused. He said "it's all chemicals I'll get cancer if I used this deodorant". I told him to take a shower instead everyday and still...he refused to do so. Please I NEED your help! How can I convince him to be more hygienic without me being rude? I don't wanna hurt his feelings. Soon he'll be an adult with no hygiene at all. Thank you!

My mother is here visiting me for 2 weeks. I'm off for the summer I'm a teacher and I haven't seen her since December. Her "idea" of coming to visit is sitting on her phone every morning until around 9 or 10AM, doing her "tv" exercises, and   eating breakfast at NOON. All she keeps telling me is she's not going to rush around for me. I live close to the beach but she wants to go at 2:00 in the afternoon then complains it's too hot, it's too crowded, there's nowhere to park. Twice we've had to come home because we couldn't find parking. I've explained if she wants to do things we need to go earlier in the day. She tells me don't bother her and she wants to relax. Should I just do my own thing and the heck with her? What's the point of her coming down to visit if she's not going to be ready until 2:00 in the afternoon. Oh and she's in bed by 9:30. 

Ok so Ive always been the black sheep in the family. When I was younger my grandma did these things right to me which killed me inside. She once shouted at me when I was arguing with my sister( I was being unfair I admit with my sister) because she wanted to use the PC, shes told my grandad to not give me any pocket money, shes told me in my face she loves my brother more than me and starting hugging and kissing him, shes told me dont eat your siblings food because you are not a DUSTBIN, ive opened up to her about my cousin neglecting me she told me its my fault, shes also ASSUMED that I treat men bed thats why I have bad relationships and she said that I hate her.Tell me now how the F can I forgive her for all the horrible things she said???!!!! How? How do you expect me to visit you when all you do is ignore me????! And talk **** behind my back aswell? Just because ur old doesnt mean you treat people bad!? And she keeps being fake with me and doesnt even like me!! Im already passed thru hell with my parents let alone her!!! She told me assuming again not even asking me that I get tired easily mentally that waa such an offence its my life who is she to tell me how and what I f feel?

To start this off I am not a jealous teen who tries to fight his stepdad for his mom. I understand the difference between wife-husband and son-mom. It's summer now and it's warm. I'm on summer break but my stepdad and mom aren't. They like doing something outside after work though. My mom likes boating so that's what she wanted to do yesterday. We all got ready and packed some snacks with us. I put on a t-shirt and so did my stepdad. My mom put on denim shorts and a sports bra. My stepdad didn't like her outfit at all. He said: " You look like a f**king hooker in your outfit. Put on some proper clothes." She didn't say anything back and went to their room and put on a dress over it. My stepdad doesn't like her wearing a bikini at the beach either. He is honestly just a piece of ****.

They have always thought I was uptight because I don't like to drink. They are Republican, and I am Democrat. I am single, and they have been married 30 years. We don't get along because they only judge me by stereotypes. Thinking I'm liberal and must be lazy. Meanwhile, I am a plumber and work close 55 hours a week. And, that I haven't met someone long term and gotten married because I don't like to drink. It's ridiculous and they just don't want to talk to me.  I've tried calling, emailing, and they hardly respond. Only non-committal answers about how they can't meet right now. Or, it's difficult to talk. Why must they treat me this way when I bend over backwards to be nice to them? Thanksgiving has been difficult and they don't even invite me. I just meet friends and have a better time but it is hard because they ask me why I'm not with family. So, it's upsetting either way. I'd rather be alone at that point.

My mom has been dating this guy for the past four years. Recently he has became more uptight, and horrible to be around. (my mom can't break up with him because they have a son together and she doesn't want to leave him without a father) Anything we say or do will set him off, for example, he left the water running and walked away. I went over and turned it off. When he saw this, he walked over and turned it back on and walked away. This may seem like a little issue, but we spent the next few hours listening to him tell me and my family how we are horrible kids and how other kids are so much more respectful.  These things are what is causing me and my family to go into depression. We all dread when he is coming home, and if he had a bad day at work, he will take it out on us, buy insulting us or threatening to take away things. He is constantly pestering my little brother, and knocking on his door repeatedly, and teasing him about him wanting my mom to make him food. You might be wondering, if he is just joking around and being playful? He isn't. He used to be a really nice guy until he moved in. He is "teasing us" and when we tell him we don't like him saying that, he just says "learn how to take a joke." He is using the word "teasing" to say really horrible things to me and my family. It makes everyone uncomfortable, and on edge all the time. He is also really controlling over my mom. He doesn't let her leave the house without his permission.  Any Advice? Thank you 

My sister is 16, I am 26. My childhood was filled with abuse, but her mom left him when my sister was 2. Although her childhood was pretty good, she is starting to see what a prick he is. She would always try to get me to speak to him, not knowing what I went through as a kid. I never told her because I wanted her to make her own assessments and decisions. Today he really hurt her feelings because he is greedy...then after that she found out he gave a chest (that her grandfather made her right before he died) away to someone random that lives down the road. Her grandfather even wrote her a note in it. Tonight she asked me the real reason why I dont speak to him. Is she old enough? Does she deserve to know? Does she deserve to live without my woes? What are your thoughts? I'm very open minded but this is really tough for me. 

I make good money, and I pay bills and pay for my children to have nice things and good education, I buy all the food, I buy all the household items, I pay for medical expenses, and sometimes I would like to buy a little something nice for myself. Only, my wife will not let me. The other day at the store I saw this really cool gaming poster, only $8 but she told me I wasn't allowed to purchase it. She doesn't have a job or anything, and thats ok with me I'm happy to support her, but she gets to buy whatever she wants and when I want something cheap its a problem. The ither day she bought a $329 ipad without even talking to me first. How do I get her to be more flexible and willing to let me buy stuff with our money?

I do this every year and I will have masks and gloves for all. I don't want to wait until Labor Day because there is no telling if cases will be back up then or not.

I love him I do wish is why I feel like it's best to find him a new home one where he'll be treated better and loved more. I adopted him when I was around 16 and I've had him for a while now but i haven't been taken the best care of him in recent days. My mother doesn't want me walking him because she didn't pay a pet deposit for him and she has the worst anxiety because our landlord does visit our neighborhood often and his mother lives up the street and he's friends with the neighbors and she fears that were he to find out we had him, it would result in an eviction. I'm in a complicated state in my life right now I'm 21 and  I never really amounted to anything worth mentioning I did graduate high school but that's not much of an accomplishment nowadays. I work job to job just been job hopping and I haven't really found my niche or anything I'm good at I really would just like to find a stable career in which I make good money and it's something I excel at but I don't have enough faith in myself. So I've been kinda sleeping a lot whenever I'm off work, I'm overweight which adds to my depression, and I haven't been showing my dog much attention I let him out and refill his food and water but I haven't done much in terms of physical activity or play he used to be an active dog and now he's been lazy and I feel like I made him that way which depresses me even more. I don't know what to do it's hard cause I love him but I don't want him to be ignored anymore on account of me.

My son's father's sister (my son's aunt) has disrespected me but my son and my other child as well more than one. His father did not correct her for the things she has said (infront of him mind you) but wants me to allow my son to visit her. I told him no way. He says im being stupid about what ever happened between me and her and that he has nothing to do with it. I think he's wrong for not sticking up for our child. My question is should I cut this family off completely? Because i feel like the damage is done.

Haven't seen him since 2014 even when he is in town. He says he and his wife are too busy. It breaks my heart. He follows me on Facebook but that is it. I have debated blocking him. He has ruined my childhood. I am 16 and a boy. Saw him last when I was 10 and that was the first in 3 years. His wife doesn't want me cause she couldn't handle my hyperactivity when I was little (I am learning disabled and ADHD). It breaks my heart, what should I get this deadbeat father on June 21st for Father's Day?

I really need to get this off my chest its been a while and I feel like ticking time bomb. I think about this all day every day my whole life and wonder what i done wrong to make a BW feel this way. As a BM have you ever been at a job where most of the BW cant stand your *** even tho you didn't do anything just one look at you and they cant stand you. let along talk to you from young to old always looking at you like they already made up there mind and stated ***** you ain't ****. even when i was kid growing up my oldest sister cant stand me use to kick my *** all the time talk **** about me my other sister she just took pity of me.my mom smiles in my face but tell friends and family talk **** behind my back or take advanage of me.(we dont talk now).From HS to college to working in a cubicle office most of time when i see a BW its always the same its like they already made up there mind to say yeah i dont like that ***** or that ***** is ugly or this one girl at my old job set me up for sexual assault. never touch the girl when the guy she did like (better looking dude) stated it was him she was like oh ok nah forget then.I remember my co-worker called me the ugliest black thing walking or they would say "ugh girl please change seats with me I cant stand him.."i remember another job they where giving birthday cards for agents and when my birthday came 15 girls on my team and i only got 3 responds 1 stated just died already.I just wanted to know what I've done wrong. 

I'm "at risk" person for covid 19 and been staying home alone for most of this year. I used to be able to swim for exercise and enjoyment at semi-private community pool . Now it's only open in very restricted manner. I'm wondering if I should have pool built to be able to have more pleasant remaining years of life. I'll look at cost to be sure it's affordable. I want it heated for most of year use Someone told me costs have skyrocketed since current crisis began. I meant to say IN GROUND POOL 

the parent is drunk, and it's no use trying to argue with them, the neighbors have tried stepping in, but the parent won't stop, how to get him to stop yelling?

I somehow want to tell him that he made increase my self esteem and helped me a lot, but I don't know how and if I should do this at all. As a child I was hated at school for not dating, for always wanting to get the best grades, for being a reserved and introverted girl. They told me I was ugly, called me names and made me feel bad, every single day with words or sometimes even with punches, to the point of making me throw up every day. Now it's all ended, I ended school, but til some time ago I still felt ugly, bad, unwanted. Now I realize that I am not so ugly, I'm actually pretty, and that I have only been unlucky and deprived of love and affection. And it's also thanks to him. He fell for me at first. He made me fall for him with his romantic look, with his innocent green eyes, with his voice, with his innocence. I feel like I am reborn again, thanks to him. He is my one minute of bliss. He understands me, cares about me, protects me, supports me, and makes me feel beautiful without even saying it. Should I tell him what I think or will he take it differently?
