I need to know if my moms behavior is normal.
Posted Friday April 15 2016, 12:30 am
My mom just completely freaked out, yelled at me, and cancelled a trip because I drew on myself. To me, it seemed like she had overreacted, because she talked about how stupid it was and compared me to a baby. I'm 16 and female. I just don't know is this behavior is normal. I feel like it isn't, but she is always insisting that this is how it's supposed to be. I just don't know what to think.

Signing a document connected to a will
Posted Thursday April 14 2016, 5:50 pm
My dad died about a year ago. My mom is rushing me to sign a paper and get it notarized. It will give all of his inheritance to her. I am not a minor. Being that I know almost nothing about wills and inheritance, what information should I learn before signing this document? I have not seen a copy of the actual will.

Feeling guilty about taking the room my mom wanted
Posted Wednesday April 13 2016, 11:42 am
23/f
Long story short. My older sister moved out due to the stress of my parents fighting, being overly dependent on us (they don't speak English and are struggling financially). My mom's room is smaller (that's the room she chose because it had more lighting) when my sister moved back in years ago and gave up her room (master bedroom).
Since my sister moved out, I asked for her permission if I could have her room--my room's air conditioning and heater doesn't work so it will be getting hot soon. She said I can take it and that she won't be moving back. I gave her a month to change her mind. During the remaining two weeks, my mom came back from Taiwan. I asked for my dad's permission and he said I could. I call...

is my mom insane?
Posted Tuesday April 12 2016, 10:23 pm
My mom realm gets on my nerves. I am a 15 year old girl and recently I was going out with a guy. We went out for about a month but I had to break I off because he acted too weird. He was obsessed with me, would get really upset if I did not text back in five minutes, and he was jealous of my friends. At first, my mom did not approve of me being in a relationship but then when I broke things off she said things like "its your fault and you were mean to him". I am so confused I think she wants me to be unhappy, but my friends understood that I was upset and that he was creepy and not good for me. Why would my mom want me to be I an unhappy relationship and how could it be my fault? She also says my friends are weird and she acts lik...

My parents don't buy me much
Posted Tuesday April 12 2016, 12:57 pm
My parents don't buy me anything. I sound like a spoiled brat, I know, and I should be grateful for what I have but i'm truthfully not. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, it's just that i'm sad. For Christmas last year I got a phone which I really did not expect! It was really a suprise and the first decent present in years. My sister walked miles just for it and I thank her for that. 2 years ago my Christmas present was deodorant and hair gel (My hair is very, VERY short). The same year for my birthday I got deoderantt, once again.
I know it sounds funny and all but i'm really serious. Three years ago I got MORE deodorant. I'm starting to get a feeling my parent is trying to insult me or something.

Is a ten year sentence for killing someone while under the influence too li
Posted Monday April 4 2016, 10:43 pm
my 21 year old daughter is in prison for 10 years for killing her friend when she crashed while she was drunk driving. Her friend was in the passenger front seat. She was drinking too so if she had driven it could have been the other way around
We received an visit from her friends parents who are still angry at us and say that a ten year sentence is too light and it should be longer
Obviously, I have no defense for what she did. She did a terrible thing and ruined her life and is paying for it but ten years seems like a lengthy sentence

I'm starting to feel like I can't breathe
Posted Thursday March 31 2016, 9:07 am
I'm 25/f. I can't take my relationship with my family anymore, and I would like to leave the city, but I can't at the moment. Allow me to further explain. Since I can remember, my family has been overly controlling. Since I was about 5 years old, they told me where I was going to go to college... and it was in the same city. They let me know that it was unacceptable to go away for school. You would think that as I got older, the control would subside. But, it has only gotten worse. They tell me who to date, who I can't date, etc. I can't take this anymore.
I was living in the next county in an apartment that I really hated. I hated my job there and the place that I was living. So, I moved back to my county, but got an apartme...

Should I stay or leave?
Posted Thursday March 24 2016, 7:57 pm
About 4 months ago I was 13 wks pregnant and had an unexpected miscarriage. It was days after finding my best friend since 6th grade and my childs father naked in our bed together when I came home (they swore nothing happened--that they were just really drunk and . So, I blamed the miscarriage on him. He thought that I had gotten an abortion or done something to hurt the baby (never would I have done that). Well...

I got into a big argument with my mom recently, and she hit me. I am 13 and this is the first time shes ever really hit me and I don't know what to do. She struck me with the belt on my hand and leg. Although, I kept screaming and pushind her back saying it was abuse. Later, when we were relaxed, we talked it through and she sologized for hitting me saying she hated doing it. The hits left welts though, am I being abused? Even though it just happened once? She admitted she was wrong for hitting me and everything, but am I being tricked?

Depressed..
Posted Sunday March 13 2016, 3:23 pm
Hi 17/F .. I'm just going to get right to the point. I love my best friend, we are like sisters and my whole family love her. We play hockey together and her mom is an employee at my mom's business. My mom pushes me really hard at practice and in games. I play because I want to prove to her that I can. I asked her to make me an appointment at the physiotherapist(R250) because I have a lot of problems with chin splits. She said no I only want to waste money. At our match saterday, 5 min into the game, my friend fell and hurt her arm. My mom took her to the doctor while I was still playing( I was sad because I really was playing my heart out). Her treatment was quite expensive(R1000) and my mom just gave the money without hesitation. She kee...

My dad is always threatening to hit me
Posted Sunday March 13 2016, 11:59 am
And I'm sick of it. I'm a 12 year old girl. Any time I say something he disagrees with he threatens to hit, kick, choke, etc. He's gone at me like he's going to hit me before. I'm sick of it sometimes I feel like I can't breath and my bodies tense I want him to stop but my mom doesn't think it's a problem and my dad just threatens to hit me more if I tell him to stop. What should I do? Is this illegal?

Your thoughts?
Posted Sunday March 13 2016, 10:16 am
Ok so this happened recently my sister who is 3 years younger than I am walked in on me and saw me naked which to me being naked is normal and no big deal,so later after the initial shock of the encounter faded away I went to kind of say sorry to her for seeing me naked. She then said to me "You dont need to freak out over it you were just naked, you dont look bad either and frankly I thought you had a nice package too not overly big but nice and thick" should I feel like no big deal by her comments?

My sister is heartless..
Posted Saturday March 12 2016, 3:18 am
I'm 16 years old and my sister is about to turn 20. She got pregnant around last year in June. When I first found out I was devastated. We had planned so much for our future. We were going to open a hair salon together later and I just felt sad. I knew our lives would change I knew my parents would give her more attention, yes I was very selfish. I have to be honest, I was rude to her and I regret it with my heart and soul. After a while I got over it. We still fought alot during her pregnancy. She was so rude and snobby all the time she would rub it in my face that my parents didn't pay attention to me and just be mean and it would trigger me and we'd argue. In her 8th month she was on the verge of developing pre-eclampsia. She spent alot ...

How can I gain back her trust?
Posted Thursday March 10 2016, 8:34 am
I'm 20 years old girl but I have a VERY strict mother with some very old fashioned thinking. I bought a corset last year behind her back and she found it today. She went on a rampage and told me what I did is the most shameful thing ever and that she can't believe it. She told me that I lost her confidence in me completely and now she wants to cancel my debit card account. Basically I bought the corset because I really wanted to try one,especially since I heard that it helps with people with bad posture and can alleviate a bit of back pains while wearing it. I bought it with my own money but since I didn't want my mom to know about it, since she opposed on me getting one in the first place, I asked a friend if I can use her address. So now ...

Fearing That Your Husband is Having an Affair
Posted Monday February 22 2016, 1:59 am
What do you do when you fear your husband is having an affair? When there have been signs for a considerably long time? There have been all kinds of little things such as that he's been incredibly secretive. He never tells anyone where he's going when he leaves the house or where's been when he comes home late. When anyone asks, he asks why they want to know. If you ask again, he flips out and starts screaming, turning it into a huge fight for absolutely no reason at all. He claims that he got angry and started screaming because whoever asked him used a "hateful" tone of voice even though they didn't and even if they did, he still blew it way, way, WAY out of proportion. Also, what if your daughter said she's seen him flirting wit...
