They say it's because he's troubled but that's bs. We ALL know it's because they have a program to "treat" boys who like boys. But I'm worried he'll be treated badly. Does anyone know what kind of stuff goes on at those schools?  I'm not going to say the name of it in case my parents see this, but I researched it a bit and it seems like the things they do there are kinda crazy. My brother is the sweetest, kindest, gentlest person I know and I know he doesn't belong there. I'm just really worried about it. 

I always thought of my mom and I as pretty close. We've been through hell and back together, but now that I'm in college, I'm starting to feel differently. Ever since I started college (3 years ago), she's dropped all financial support, which is understandable. I was 18 and some parents don't feel the need to support their child at that age. However, for the past year, she's been expecting me to buy her all her luxuries as well as support myself. I recently asked for her help paying rent because I'm out of a job (Thanks, corona), but she has refused and told me that if I look at how much she's done for me, I owe her. I've been digging into my savings trying to scrape together money to pay for tuition and rent.  On top of this, I'm a science major. If you guys know anything about natural science majors, it's difficult to get a good job with just a Bachelor's degree. I'm hoping to go to grad school and my mom didn't say much about it until I told her I'd have to get loans and most likely move out of the state. She told me that I couldn't leave and that she wouldn't let me. She said there's no way that I'm going to be able paying for more school and that if I decide to go, it's on me and I wouldn't be receiving any financial support. I know that already. I didn't ask for it. However, I'm starting to feel like a walking wallet and I'm beginning to not be able to afford my own necessities. I'm starting to feel like our relationship is only transactional.

For the last decade my mother, and I do not say this lightly, has made my life hell. My friends have told me and I haven't noticed or maybe didn't want to believe it, but the other day my Dad nearly cried when telling me that it seems like she's "trying to start a war" with me. I have been in and out of hospitals, therapists, etc and I think it's because of her. I can't go in depth with everything she has done, however, one example is two weeks ago she put down my dog without even bringing it up to me. My brother and I saved money to get him when we were both 12 years old. I was the only one who walked him, cleaned him, and even gave him attention. In hs I got into clubs and sports and couldn't walk him as much. He wouldn't have to have been put down if at least someone helped me care for him. My dad told me one morning before we left for work that she's going to put him down and I should say goodbye. I walked into the room and was holding back tears and petting him. She said "oh I might not do it today i dunno". It was my last week of finals and when I came home from work that day he wasn't there. She starts arguments with me by saying something rude or hateful either about me or something I'm interested in, and it's gotten to the point where I can't take it.  She complains to my dad about things I do for some reason? Which results in him getting yelled at by her and angry at me. I think she does it on purpose knowing that seeing him upset kills me. I don't know what to do. 

I'm 17 , female and my mom has honestly never truly let me hang out with my friends outside of school growing up. she always says stuff like "why are you so desperate to have friends?" etc whenever i asked .i remember her making me an hour late to a hang out just bc she spent so much time talking on the phone after i was already ready to go.  today i asked her to drop me off at the park two minutes up the street (i've been asking her for 2-3 days now and she's agreed ALLL times ) and then she made me do yard work for 2-3 hours on top of that . hen she told me to get ready,after i get ready she goes "i don't feel well anymore, ask *persons mom* to drive you and drop you off" and the persons mom said no clearly bc my mom just dumped responsibility on her last minute and then my mom said it's "suspect" how the mom can't drive me and how i'm "doing something i'm not supposed to do" . so i asked her to take an uber and she gave me a whole speech on how theyre kidnapping girls so i can't take an uber 2 mins down the street to the park. THEN she changes her mind all together and says i can be dropped off once this person is "at the park already" keep in mind i'm an hour late at this point so the person didn't want to come bc he heard abt how my mom was giving me trouble .... then my mom just says altogether i can't go. i'm honestly just tired of this and she says i'm being unreasonable but i'm 17 now and i feel like she started the argument with me just so i wouldn't leave my house

I was adopted and the person that adopt me I feel like never loved me but only in on it for the money she got from the government. one day me and my sister went through all her her paperwork and I found out she was getting 500 to 600 for each kid and it was like seven of us. When I turn 12 that's when she started telling me I can't with you 18 so I can kick you out and believe it or not them We're all the words I heard until I was 17,  When I turn 17 in graduated high school which she did not show up to (decided to sleep in) I left and moved about three hours away for college now she needs my help in asking me for money. There's so much more I went though in that house, like she knew we were getting touch by other man in family but she did nothing because the money will stop. I'm 26 now with a 3 year old son that she have never or attempted to meet. Life been great without her but everyone telling me she change and found God

As a kid I was really close to my neighbors. They were two brothers and 2 sisters. I was really close to the younger brother and sister since we were all a little closer in age. We did everything together, from going to church to amusement parks. From first grade to about third grade, the brother and I had somewhat of a relationship. We would do stuff that kids are age shouldn't do. He was 4 years older than me so I though listening to him was the best choice. Apart of me feels like I wanted it to happen even though I was so young. I don't know how to feel about the situation. Ever since that time in my life I've tried to forget about it or even act as if it wasn't a big deal. Honestly it may not be, but I just hate the feeling that I get when I think about it. Apart of me doesn't wanna believe that there's a possibility of it being sexual assault cause I don't wanna feel like a victim but then another part of me wants to so I can try to understand why I feel the way that I do. My parents don't know about what happened and my neighbors moved out when I was a 11. 

My parents won't let me see any extended family because of the Coronavirus and none of my friends. Yet they have THEIR friends over to the beach house and we see them. I'm so jealous it makes me hate their friends. What do I do? I can't stand it and their being hypocrites. They say beach friends are safe cause they l live in the same neighborhood.
