I reminded my mother twice to buy something she needed to buy yesterday and she went to shopping today and when she realized that she forgot to buy the item, she started screaming, swearing, and calling me names and basically blamed it all on me even she is the one who forgot to buy the item. Am I in the wrong? when I tried defending myself, she kept screaming nasty things at me & wouldn't stop.

They used to insult me all the time & call me horrible names for being single but when I date guys, they'll then insult me and call me names like ''whore'' and ''slut''. Why do they do this? I accused them of being jealous once and they started calling me ugly and other rude things.

A couple years back I was diagnosed with a pretty serious disease. so I asked my sister if she was able to help me with my youngest son who will be 6 in November. Now she has had my son off and on for the first five years of his life I've had him about three years and she's had him about two and a half almost three years here and there. Currently he is living with her for the most part but he does visit me every week and we have a good relationship. well now my sister is trying to get me to sign over custody to her because she is saying that the school district she wants to send him to will not allow him to go there unless she has full custody has anyone ever heard of this because I think it's bullshit is it legal for the school to say that or is it probably my sister is lying to get custody of my son. and as a side note my sister is in her mid-40s and she'll probably never have kids of her own and it's very clear that she wants my son to be her son I'm just not sure what to do here but I don't want to give my rights up. 

The 17 years old guy and the girl have been like siblings since childhood, the guy has taken care of her cause her parents worked and they both lived as foreign kids in a poor neighbourhood. The guy was there when the girl was belittled at birtday parties from spoiled white girls, defended and dried her tears, took her from school everyday even though she attended middle school while he was in high school, made her meals. Was like a brother. One day the two are cuddling in the bedroom and they start kissing, they are about to make love when his dad gets in after work and sees red, hits the guy til he cries and calls him 'b*****d, you are not my child!', while the girl tries to console the guy but he tells her not to touch him

I'm 15 I've had a headache, chest pain, and a cough for 3 days now. My mom and dad yell at me and tell me it's not coronavirus and just give me cough syrup. We went to Costco, we go to target. I tell them I don't feel good and they just ignore me. They told me it's not coronavirus and it could be other things. I want to get tested especially since my moms family is coming to visit next Saturday. My parents refuse to let me get tested. What should I do? I don't have my license so I can't drive to get tested. Any advice?  

Hey, so about two months ago I made a post about my brother and his foot fetish. He hadn't really been going to be at night anymore and has been busy overall, but yesterday when we were alone he came over to me and said he needed help downstairs. Once we are down there he asks if he can give me a foot massage and I said yes because that's fine, it's nothing insane and I felt bad?? Midway into it he asks if I can go on my stomach so he can give me a "better massage" and I feel nervous but do it anyway. He kept massaging and then asks me if "he can do something crazy", he's not a great communicator but I had a feeling he wanted to do something sexual with my feet because he grabbed my foot and dragged it down there, I pulled away and respectfully told him no, giving him an explanation that was too far. I don't know, was that "normal" what he did? It is one think to massage but to do that I felt was completely different. 

my parents are extremely unsupportive. i truly feel like im alone, its to the point where my parents dont even know what college i go to! i want to be ambitious but feel like im stuck.

She is someone no one likes. She claims I choked her but I grabbed her by the shoulders when she was blocking the bathroom door and shook her to get her to grow up. We are both adults but she is stunted at about two despite normal functioning. It came from our mother spoiling her.

...I have good vocals, and I can rap too but again my parents are so against it like I'm applying for some terrorist group or something like that, my mother was kinda allowing me earlier but because of my dad she refused * heartbroken *. They made me delete everything related to kpop in my phone (Including VLive TT) thats fine but they think people are bad there and some fights are happening there everyday and I'll die there or something, they told me that if I forget about it or kinda distract myself from my goal and then after some weeks(or maybe months) I'll think how stupid I was with that goal of mine (and blah blah blah). I tried it though, but I can't forget it and I'm sure that I have to become an idol, what I really wanna ask is if I can go to Korea on my own(just kidding), I'm sure I have to become an idol so I need help telling my parents and convincing them to let me do this and they also don't have any confusion regarding this. Hope you can help and sorry for this long text Stay safe there is no question mark at the end of the question 

My mother and I never really had a great relationship when I was growing up. I'd classify her as the Equivalent of being furniture or otherwise just being "there" but not actually a huge part of my life, we did live together but most of my time was spent with my dad.  My mom was always abusive to my dad mentally, verbally and physically but my dad kept it from me all these years. And last year I found out my mom was cheating on my dad with her supervisor at work, when I told him my dad had enough and finally divorced my mom.  I always had a premonition that she was insane and over the last year I've seen enough from her to be certain that she suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.  And since my dad has left, my mother has dumped her deep hatred of men onto my head. She's punched me in the face, embarrassed me on Facebook, and has displayed narcissistic behavior towards me on a regular basis. And I'm seriously considering cutting ties with her when I move out. I've had enough of her and her abuse. How do I learn to cope with this reality? 

Im going to explain exactly what happend that night. Her Nephew & I used to be good friends. Her nephews name is Wesley well he wanted to hang out one day & talk because he was having some trouble I don't remember exactly what the was just a problem with one of his best friends , I just can't recall the problems . Well he was doing drugs & I didn't want any part of it so I told him its best we don't see each other or talk because he was doing really bad drugs . I just didn't want to be around it. I know he was having problems I offered to help him the best i could but he didn't see any problem with what he was doing.    I agreed to just talk to him but refused to be around him because of the drug use. Well he got upset &, called his aunt , my sister in law . Her name is Renee . He called me back & told me a bunch of lies that she said. He told me that she said I was being to hard on him & not understanding & he told me she said I was acting like I didn't care about anyone.. He was lieing but I didn't know that , I should not have believed him but at the time i did believe him. Also remember I had been really upset that day & had not even had any sleep because my medicine was messed up at the time. I wasn't on the right medicine for my depression . Well renee my sister in law sent me a text message right at the time he was telling me lies about what she had said. She texted me saying for him and I to stop fighting because she loves us well i took it the wrong way. I called her up on the phone , like I said i believed what Wesley told me & I called her &, said listen Bit** then I explained what was going on.  She informed me she never said any of that to him & that since I called her that bad name she was washing her hands of me. She has not talked to me since. I did try to Apologize but she said she washed her hands of me & had chosen not talk to any Relationship with me at all.  She has really done a lot to help me over the years and I hurt her. I feel terrible for what I said to her. I would do just about anything for her to have a relationship with me again. I know what I said was wrong and im trying to make it right. Is there anyway I can truly make this right again?

Our 22-year-old son packed up all his things left overnight while my wife and I were sleeping 2 weeks ago. We know he's safe - I saw him driving the other day - but we have no idea where he went in terms of shelter. He won't return any calls or messages. My wife and I are worried about him, and the thought that perhaps we did something to cause him to hit the road like this makes us both tremendously sad. Even if he doesn't want to come home, we just want to talk to him. How can we get him to talk to us??

Yesterday, my mom said we should text my older brother to ask if he wanted to eat something. When we got to the place, for some reason I asked my mom if she texted him, she said no. My brother ended up texting me first.  Now today, she is now asking me if he has texted me during the day. It seems like ever since I asked her yesterday, she is asking me more now if I texted my older brother. Should I have not asked the first time? It seems like I prompted her to do so.

They always fought and my grandmother had a bad childhood memories in her past. But yet she still cries about losing her mother, should I tell her to suck it up because she claims her old age (60) is a excuse and she keeps saying shes mentally exhausted. 

Hi I'm 18 years old and my little brother is 16. Now hes always been a little weird, likes anime stuff like that. The past six months hes been fascinated with brick buildings and walls. Talks about them constantly and begs me to drive around the neighborhood in my moms car so he can point out all of the brick houses. I thought it was weird but just Wednesday I was getting off work, (i get off at 11pm.) I thought he was asleep. So I quietly walked down the stairs and into the room I sleep in (where the computer is.) And I see him quickly pull his pants up. He tried to play it off like he was scratching himself but I know what he was doing. On the screen was just a picture of a brick wall. I saw a show where some fat lady loved rollercoasters or something like that and kissed them. Should I call that show? Is this a problem or will he grow out of it? I dont wanna embarrass him by telling my parents but I really dont know what to do.

My younger brother has been acting really annoying lately. He used to spend time over here with us but now he wants to live with his dad. He constantly threatens us by saying if we all move, then he will start living with us. He claims that our place is loud and he complains that we get up at night, etc. He is 19 years old. He is holding the apartment over our heads and is becoming highly manipulative. Even my mom feels stressed about it and has been somewhat manipulative as well so I am already dealing with that over here. I'm so mad at her that I haven't even been looking at her when she talks to me because any time I talk about anything else, she goes right back to the apartment talk. Anyways, today I tried calling him about three times and he wouldn't answer his phone. Finally, he said it was a glitch in the service and answered. He wanted my mom and I to shop for grocery items and drop them off at his dad's. We went to go drop them off and he said thanks and I acted cold. Later on, he texted me and said that the food I got was really good and sent me a picture. I didn't respond at all because I am extremely mad at him. He then texted my mom later on asking if I was mad at him. My mom told him no but really I am. Should I just not text back?

My parents are divorced. Both remarried, but I am my moms only child. My dad has 3 additional kids. My dad exiled me from the family because of my choices. Because I was shunned away my mother fills the loneliness by babysitting my dads kids & financially helping them. My dad never turned a penny away. My dad and his wife are strong independent financially set people. My mother has none of those assets. I tell my mom to remember his kids are not her kids and to save money instead of spending it on others. She believes money is to help others and holding it is selfish. My mother has 20k in her account and is 67 years old. She rents a studio and has no assets. Her other family members also take advantage of her loneliness, they asked her to cosign, they asked her to pay for their tuition, tattoos, gas money-anything, and in turn they spend time with her. People are taking advantage of my mom and I cant stop them. My mom told me my dad offered she make a will with him at the same time.I told her its a bad idea because he will influence her to give money to him, his wife, his kids. She doesn't see the problem in that. I told her I'm her only daughter and inst actually alone, she has a husband and sister and other real blood relatives. I advised her to make her own choices but to be smart about it. My mother is dependent on others. Do i have any legal action to protect my mom from predators?

So I bought a Nintendo Switch Lite with my own money recently. I'm 21, an only child, living in New Hampshire (US), going to college (which my parents are mostly paying for), and still living with my parents when I'm not in school. I do go to work though, and earn my own money.  Some background: my mom is very controlling. She homeschooled me for most of my life before college, and is very controlling and worried especially about electronics. So much so that I'm not allowed to bring any electronics upstairs at night and she requires that my dad and I keep our phones in the kitchen. She's taken many things away from me my whole life, and required access to my laptop, phone, and social media accounts until I turned 18. She doesn't work, and my dad makes all of the money. SO I bought a USED nintendo switch LITE, which I've been wanting for a few years. I didn't tell my mom that I was buying it, because I used my own money and I knew she would control it. I kept it upstairs, until she was going through my stuff while I was at work and found it. She then hid it. When I got home I knew that she had taken it, but waited until she brought it up. She says she's taking it away for two weeks because I was hiding it from her, I kept it upstairs (we're not allowed to keep electronics upstairs), and that I was spending extra money when money is tight (which is not entirely true, also it was my own money).  Is this legal for her to do since I'm over 18 and bought this with my own money?

My grandmother started a small business that has grown into a large company over the decades.  For 45 years, her two daughters ran the company together.  My sister, myself, and our two cousins were always told growing up that we would run the company together one day.  For the last five years, we have been studying and preparing to assume a more active role.  Recently, my auntie decided that she wants to liquidate her portion and split.  The company is so large that my mother will have to sell out, too.  She can't afford to buy her sister out.  Now, the whole company is being liquidated, and the split has become contentious.  My sister is pissed, because she felt like the company was supposed to continue for generations.  She feels like our aunt has betrayed us all.  Is my sister entitled?  Is she selfish?

Like my mom for example. She always says "Don't take your anger out on everyone else just because someone else makes you mad. You're never gonna get anywhere in life if you do." And then she takes all her anger out on me when I've literally done nothing to her. My mom also says "If there's an argument you don't want to be part of or its not worth arguing about, just walk away" Yet when I walk away from her petty arguing, she YELLS and MOCKS me for "running away, never facing my problems, never being able to make it in life and she's always right" Like what the ****??? I know lots of parents aren't like that. But like, why are some like that???

I have never had family besides my Mom and I. Wondering what family is like? 

I haven't seen my daughter in 7 months due to her mother blocking all contact with me after us breaking up from a toxic relationship that I was probably to blame. For the first year and a half I did everything a dad should and saw her everyday. Stupidly I was stubborn and refused to fight for my daughter when her mom refused me to see her. I was in hostels as I gave up my apartment to live with her I recently lost my job and then covid happened and I was in a bad place. My daughters 2 and I've came to realise I'm not giving up on her but how can I fight for my daughter when she most likely doesn't have a clue who I am. It's heartbreaking that I'd be a complete stranger to her I don't think I can do it as much as I want to be a dad to her building a relationship with her seems so hard. Has anyone else been though something similar I'm struggling. 

Any ideas? I notice my mom growing up, was always skeptical and cynical of just the idea of me dating girls. Was she afraid of me being hurt and disappointed by a woman?
