I had a dream that my dad touched me and almost raped me. My boyfriend and mom were also in the dream and they didn't do anything to help, they even dressed me up for it. I'm just wondering what this could meannn. Please helpp. (link)
This is whats often referred to as a nightmare. your subconscious mind playing out images and experiences in a way that is hard for you to take in. But if anything like that was to ever happen you should go to the police immediately.


I love my parents to death but there are times where i really dont get them. like my cellphone has been broken for months and i can't get a new one. instead i got a hideous hand-me-down. im just tired of them both being so money savvy! like for once can't they just splurge and go wild? its always so structured and they never just break out and go "lets get some ice cream!". they're not spontaneous at all, and i am a very spontaneous person and it drives me crazy when we fall into a simple, boring schedule.

i have a really hard time with questions too, and they ask WAY too many questions all the time. it drives me crazy, and ive tried to ask them to be more layed back and ask LESS questions but it never works. it feels like they dont trust me at all and like i dont deserve to have fun. im having a really hard time with them, and because i love them so much, i dont want our relationship to crumble. please help me figure out how to make this better

to go and say why didnt they buy me a new one is kind of selfish. what if your parents dont have the money to buy you a new cellphone. now given everybody needs some spontaneousness in there life. but you have to be able to afford the lifestyle before you can live it.


I have a 21 year old brother who is really worrying me. I've always know that he has huge life issues but right now I'm just finding it hard to live with him - it's getting unbearable.
He doesn't have standard issues like drug abuse/ being in a violent gang etc. It probably would be BETTER if he had big issues like that- he is just so PASSIVE.
So basically this is what's wrong- He would be happy to spend 24/7 in front of his lab top, no kidding. He spends all of his time locked in his room doing goodness knows what. He has no friends at all. He never leaves the house if he can help it. He failed senior high and never got into uni or got a job. He's spent a year in a therapy camp and two years trying to get into uni and failing. He has no hobbies or interests.
He has a really low self esteem and he's so negative- he spends so much time criticising people. He's also incredibly defensive- he can't take any form of criticism, even with ridiculously little things. Like, if I tell him to use a sharp knife to cut vegetables he'll ignore me and stubbornly spend 10x the time and effort using a blunt knife. He has such a bad temper too.
Thing are harder for him because our family is so darn isolated. We have a single mum who spends all of her time at work. We moved to a different city a about 7 years ago so live in a place with no family connections at all. Our dad is useless and we never see him because he ran away to a different country to have another family. I have a few school friends but nobody else in my family (brother and mum) does.
I don't know how long my brother can spend his life like this. I don't know how to help him but I'm one of the only people who can. Plus I live with him so it's sort of my responsibility. Have you ever heard of anybody like this before? How can he get out of this rut? He's been like this for 5 years.

Sounds to me like hes suffering from some sort of melancholic depression. if he's not depressed than he's probably frustrated with his life and hates himself (which would explain the defensive attitude.) alot of people that are unhappy with their lives dont like other people to know they are unhappy. My best advice would be to either consult a therapist or try to talk to him (and i mean really talk to him.)


Ok, ex supposed to pay CS. hasnt paid in months. he DOes however pay his soon to be ex wife alimony $600. Only they are sleeping together again delaying divorce and she gives it back to him. He plans to tell the court that with the alimony order he doesnt make enough to pay me..she has no kids with him. CS tells me they are going to suspend his license. He is $3000 behind.(4) months.. Only it seems like they are dragging their feet. I got a taunting text from her today stating that "it sucks to be broke doesnt it?" and that they spent the alimony money at a casino. He is a terrible father and she is the opitomy of evil.They are running a giant scam. What to do?? Do I speak to a cs supervisor? He also got a $5000 tax return and stopped paying right after. He is self employed so they cant garnish..HELP! (link)
whenever you have any problem like that you should go to theproper authorities, lawyers are expensive but if you have a court order saying he has to pay X amount of money for child support and hes not then its grounds for a lawsuit. I know first hand how hard it is to live a life with no child support, my father split and never payed my mother a dime. so please go to the supervisor or anyone who can help and have it straightened out. you shouldnt have to experience a hard life due to his irresponsible attitude.
