I been letting my Blood Bro use 1 of my cars I 100% own, No payments being made at all! I let him use it for work or whatver, these last few months he hasnt been working at all. So the car been sitting in the Drive way. Keep in mind I own 4 cars Total. 100% paid off cars. I was thinking why Am I holding on to this Car I'm letting him use when he isnt even working looking for a Job or nothing! Seems like he would just use the car to buy Liquor and that is it! I was thinking. Called my gma and told her about it and she gave me some money to use it to do her thing, Store Runs, just her doing her Errands. I was just like I need to be Renting my car and make some money vs just having it sitting her for nothing ! Should I feel bad cause he can't drive whenever he wants anymore? Other 3 cars are being Rented by my other Aunties they paying me aswell. Why let a car sit when I can be making money off em, helping em out you know?

I doubt it. They'll forget about me in 2 days.

It s like I can t do anything without him being involved. But the way he gets involved over complicates things to the point where something goes wrong. The other day I just wanted to buy a battery for my car and like always it was all the sudden his business for some reason. He told me to go to auto zone and to use his rewards card so he could get 20 dollars of on his next purchase. I said no no please no don t get involved because something won t go right and you ll be mad. Be he insisted and gave me his card and told me all I have to do is scan his card and give them his phone number. So i went and bought my battery and gave them his phone number. They didn t ask for the card because all they need is a phone number. So then he called me and asked if they scanned the card I said no I gave them your phone number instead. He immediately lost it and drove down there himself in a crazy fit of rage yelling and acting like a fool. He went in and they said they aren t taking cards right now because of the pandemic and all they need is a phone number. What the hell is wrong with him?

My mom and stepdad used to abuse me and my brother when we were younger. My stepdad died in 2018. I am still afraid of my mom. How do I overcome this? If possible. 

My wife and I are a blended family and have been married just shy of 10 years. Over the last year she is not wanting to attend our family get togethers, birthdays, holidays, etc. She says my sister makes her feel uncomfortable and says rude things but it's never in front of me cuz I would stick up for her if that happened. When I ask her to come or even host at our home she gets upset and says I'm being selfish. My parents have treated her 100 times better than her own parents ever have. She takes things out of context or misunderstands things that are said a lot of times even with myself so I always feel like I'm stuck in the middle and not sure how to handle it without making my family feel that she just doesn't want to be around them. What do I say when she continues to not be at functions with her 2 kids? There's only so many things I can say before the family figures it out which I think they already have. She's not close with her family which live across the country but then complains that I have my family close by and she never gets to see her family even though she always complains about them. It a never ending battle. I love my wife very much but I just see this getting worse and more uncomfortable as our family grows.  Thanks for any input. 

Is it a bad thing that I told my sister that I need a decent country to live in much more than I need or want a sister or anything else.. Any means of support or service that you offer me as a sister, I can get in a little bit lower quality, a little slower to arrive.. And in many ways a lot more.. From my country, with an application. So it ain't like you're doing a damn thing for me. So if necessary, I'm going to choose my country over you.

We can't have the family celebration in a park because all parks are close and because of the riots they have extended the closures. However, my Dad is having something with all his cousins but only my sister and I of our age range. We are teens. I want my cousins to be able to come, some are even adults. The summer is wrecked by these Coronavirus things. I know it is to save lives but the rioting is only going to make things like they were in March again and I won't be able to see anyone until school starts in September and then it is too late to have fun. So what do I do? How can I get him to let me do this? I want to have family.

I am 13 years old and my older sister is 18 and moved out and only visits on weekends (not currently bc of corona). My mom is 39 and her bf is 40. Both always wanted a son and never had one. My mom can not get pregnant and I do not want a baby brother. I always wanted a brother-sister relationship and thought it would be nice to have a sibling close to my age (11-15) or around that. What should I do?

My mum was abusive all my life (physically and emotionally) but I finally stood up to her about 3 years ago and she hasn't hit me since or tried to control me. However, she does swear at me when she's angry and calls me a F-ing b$tch or stupid b$tch etc. I was used to this by the time I was 10 years old so it just goes in one ear and out the other. But now I'm 28 and no longer living with her but we are very close. Sometimes we both call each other a b$tch in anger but she thinks it's ok for her to say it because she's the mother, but when I say it it's hurtful. I told her after what she's done to me for most of my life, she owes me just as much respect as I owe her. I also said that we BOTH need to stop saying that to each other. But she still thinks it's ok when she says it. She then hung up on me and has been ignoring me for 2 days. Am I being unreasonable? 

So currently. My sister and I share a room. :( We are both adults, but unfortunately no one has been wise enough to save their money to get the **** out. But anyways it's getting really hot in our room due to our A.C not working and my sister refuses to give me half to buy a new one. Like all I am asking is 35 bucks each and she is like nah. So...Should I just suck it up and pay for it all or just let this ride. (Btw she makes money and I do too, but it is not fair how I buy the food and make the food. and she gets to enjoy it all. it is like really?) 

So I live with my enemies basically. They know almost everything about my life. My career my love life everything. How should or can I handle them when they just want to see me fail? Btw they are family members. 

Do a lot of people still grieve for a family member even though they've been dead for a long time? Or does usually do much time pass that you can talk about them no problem? One of my grandmothers has been dead for almost 25 years. She died when I was about 4 years old so I don't really remember her. But my mother also breaks down in tears every anniversary of her death, nor can she barely talk about her either. If I'm sounding a bit cold here I don't mean to at all, it's just I'd think after so much time you'd be able to talk about the deceased family member while keeping yourself together. Of course everyone is sad when a family member goes, but after a while you totally heal from it.

She says I hid someone in the basement, I'm praying against her, I'm wishing something bad on her, I'm doing witchcraft. She tells me to leave her alone when I'm not bothering her. She threatens to call the police on me for no reason. She calls me mentally retarded, slow, b*tch, stupid, ugly, dumb, annoying, anorexic, weird, liar. She tells me to kill myself and no one likes me. She tells everyone my business and tries to turn everyone against me. If I don't talk to her or answer her she calls me full of sh*t and a manipulator. She comes in our room and just looks at me or starts yelling at me and then leaves. She threatens to beat me up and throw things at me. She calls me mean and a bully. If I say anything she tells me to get over it or what am I going to do about it. She still expects me to be nice to her. She's been doing this since we were kids. She won't stop. I don't want to talk to her anymore. She ruins my whole day. She ruined my life. I would be a lot happier without her around. I wish I could just get away from her and never see her again. I don't know what to do anymore. She's going to do all this all over again tomorrow. I can't deal with it anymore. It's like I'm in a abusive relationship.  She buys me things after she does all this but then throws it up in my face and does it again. 

i'm going to summer camp at the end of july and they take our phones before we go so i'm going to bring my 2008 20 inch imac in a suitcase

My sibling is getting married in another state.. it's a 9 hour drive from where they live and a 15 hour drive, or basically 2 days of driving for us to even get there, unless we flew which we can't afford. The wedding is in a hotel that costs over 200 a night. I have a small child and can't afford all this.. would it be selfish for me to not attend? If I go without my husband I can maybe stay with a relative in their room, but then I have to drive 2 days alone.. if he goes we could stay in a diff cheaper hotel, but we still can't afford that. We share one car so I'd have to rent one if I go alone.. would it be wrong if I skipped my siblings wedding? To add, my sibling lives 8 hours from me and had never come to visit me.. when I go to my parents which is 20 min from him, he complains that it's too far to drive to visit when I'm in town. I'm lucky if he comes by for a couple hours.. should I not go? Idk what to do tbh

Im 16, ive never liked my dad. My earliest memories with him are him being aggressive to my mother, throwing stuff at her and digging his nails into her skin. Something, I will never forget. Hes so cold, emotionless and has told me before he doesnt think a norm is for a dad to buy their kid a car, pay for their college etc. Its so hard because everyone around me is driving, getting their lisence and he wont even pay to let me get my permit. I know if my mom was financially stable and made as much money as he did she would divorce him. But she cant shes nothing without him. I feel like I dont know him likes hes a stranger in my home. He has an obsession with being too clean and has torn up my bedroom and all my belongings so that it would make me clean. He has a scary voice and I have to watch what i say around him or he will take my phone. My entire house feels bright and happy when he is at work. When he comes back its cold again. I know he had a broken home as a child. But i really really dont like him which is so mean to say may God protect him. but it sucks seeing my friends w dads that actually care. I dont think my dad has ever asked me how my day went. and i cant go to therapy my parents wouldnt pay for it. I also dont want my dad to scream at me if CPS was to get involved or something at school. How do i live with this?

I don't know how to deal with my father anymore. He is so controlling, dogmatic, and ungrateful. It seems like everything I do for him is never enough and he picks me apart. He tries to control what I do and acts like he is always right. He is so prideful and will not admit to anything he does or says wrong to you. He is also rigid, condescending, and twists your words. He rarely praises you and says "good for you, good for you." He will also tell you "oh make sure you're not like this" and talk down to you like your frickin 10 years old or something. He treats me like a doormat and like I mean nothing. I just don't know how to deal with him anymore. I am to my breaking point and am tired of being treated like crap. I am a grown woman and not a 13-year-old.

It seems like my family prefers my dad over me and they were harder on me than him if I were to do something they would put me down or stare at me and if he did the same thing they would praise him and it really bothers me and hurts my feelings
