Why Does My Dad's Family Treat Me Like I'm Nothing?
Posted Friday November 27 2015, 9:26 pm
I feel bad saying this, but my dad's family is full of selfish, unloving jerks who leave me out and make me feel like I'm not even part of the family. My own grandmother, my cousins, and my other extended relatives treat me like I'm nothing. It's hurtful and I don't understand why they have to be like this, but I'm sick of it and wish it would stop.
The thing is that they don't treat my dad or my sister like this, just me and my mom. My grandmother is the one who really sucks and my sister does actually have to put up with her crap on occasion. I don't know of a person other than my dad and cousins who don't.
There are a few reasons I can think of that might be like this. The first is that they weren't very hap...

Should I feel bad for my cousin? (Long read, but I feel conflicted)
Posted Tuesday November 24 2015, 10:35 pm
So I'm a guy btw and my cousin (I'll admit she's always been attractive) has always been a total b*tch to me. Basically, she's always been a fitness nazi and super condescending (I was always a pretty chubby guy, but I got with the gym scene in college and stuck with it ever since).
Anyway, she just flew in for Thanksgiving and, I kid you not, she gained like 25 lbs! Right now, she's sitting in our living room in yoga pants and slippers, eating pie! Her butt got huge and she's got love handles now, and it's not even Thanksgiving.
Also, here is a pic of her shoes (for the lulz, I guess) http://i.imgur.com/3sd0uAr.jpg
My mother just asked her "So, how've you been? Everything alright?" and...

What to Do When Grandmother in Law Won't Acknowledge Your Son
Posted Tuesday November 24 2015, 8:37 pm
If a Baptist woman married into a catholic family and started attending catholic church, would it be wrong for her to be offended by some of their catholic beliefs that she doesn't agree with? Would it be wrong for her to be irritated by them trying to push her beliefs on her like she's supposed to live her life their way even though she knew they were like that before she got married?
What if the woman and her husband were married near her home town even though it's ten hours away from where she and he live now. The wedding was in a Methodist church (because it was the prettiest in town) and her former Baptist preacher officiated. Everyone in the groom's family was on board except his grandmother. She is set in her ways and ...

What should I do???
Posted Thursday November 12 2015, 2:07 am
I am 17 years old. I have a month old baby & we both live with my dad. the babies dad is around and he's a great dad. He takes him when I have to work which is very helpful. He's definitely gotten his life together since my son was born. He has a job & plans on helping me with anything I need help with. But the problem is my dad is constantly putting his nose in our business when it comes to my son. For example I go to work from 4 to 11 & my sons dad picks me and the baby up takes me to work and watches him till I get off. My dad doesn't like my son out that late but he's a BABY! He doesn't know if it's day or night. Why does it matter? And it's our baby. It's what we have to do to provide for our son. I have to WORK. But my da...

Romantic date but sister wants to come
Posted Wednesday November 4 2015, 3:00 pm
My sister has had a tough time recently. She got sacked but not through fault of her own. She doesn't have friends to go out with so she suggested we see the fireworks tomorrow night (every year Nov 5th here in England ) because she finishes her job then.
However my boyfriend whom I've not seen in weeks is coming to see me and we're planning to see the fireworks.
Neither knows the other wants to come. They get on to a point but I'd rather it be me and my boyfriend on a romantic date. However I really don't want to upset my sister as she has no one else because she doesn't make as much effort with ppl. We're twins incidentally.
What should I do? What I want or support my sis ?

Overly Controlling Father
Posted Friday October 30 2015, 12:57 am
I'm in college and my dad does not pay one dime for my education, or anything else I need for that matter. My mom currently pays for everything and next semester, I want to get a job at school which will give me free tuition. If I do that, then I'll be taking care of my own tuition.
My dad, though, is C-R-A-Z-Y overly controlling and he's also got severe anger issues and is very intimidating. It's hard stand up to him or to tell him no to anything because honestly, he scares the s#!? out of me. He used to be physically abusive towards my mom which is one of the reasons they're not together anymore.
Usually when he gives me an order that I don't want to follow, I don't say no, I just listen to it and then do wh...

Brother trouble
Posted Wednesday October 28 2015, 7:57 am
Okay, I have this brother who is in his 20s and is currently a father to 3 kids. But the problem is he hasn't been spending that much with them nor he isn't around much to help take care of them. It's always his ex's mother and on the weekends, it's me and my mother. So my question is: How can slap some family sense into him?

i want to know why it's such a crime for me to be happy please
Posted Friday October 23 2015, 3:42 am
Basically there's always been some type of distinction in my family. I've noticed my parents and my cousins parents make sure to slow down the growth process for all of us. If one of us gets a job or job interview they make us late on purpose so we lose the chance of ever being successful and it really hurts to deal with knowing my parents and grandparents don't want me or my cousins to succeed. Most of us are over the age of 18 and still don't have our licenses. It was also like that for my aunts and uncles. They had such a hard time with it and I know about the whole narcissistic family thing and that's definitely my family's problem but I'm so new to finding this out and I just don't understand why if my aunts uncles n mom we're treated ...

How to talk to my Dad?
Posted Tuesday October 20 2015, 5:45 pm
Hi :) me and my dad had a huge argument about 18 months ago and we haven't really talked since then. It was pretty serious what he did but I decided to let it go with the urge from my step-dad who said to give him another chance.
We sat down and had a meeting about how I felt and all of that crap but even after I opened up, he was still acting like a high and almighty person who never made mistakes. But still, I'm trucking on.
I don't know what to say to him anymore to start a conversation. It will go something like:
Me: Hi
Him: Hi, how was school?
Me: Good, I didn't learn much.
Him: Oh, that sounds eventful. Work was boring.
And then we say goodbye. Even befor...

Controlling Mother
Posted Sunday October 18 2015, 1:05 pm
My best friend (age 15) cried to me over the phone that her mother keeps having arguments with her. She has to deal with her mother changing her friends, calling into the school and taking all her things away because she has depression.
My friend is worried that her school now thinks she has issues and she hates it because she tries so hard. I really want to help her but I don't know what to do or say. I had to keep repeating, calm down, think about this rationally and it just wasn't helping.
What can I do?

My mom is being a control freak!
Posted Saturday October 17 2015, 5:21 pm
So I was going to this Halloween dance with my friends, I was going as a mime. I had this white T-shirt that I turned around so you couldn't see the letters on the front, and a black jacket to wear to cover up the words on the back of my shirt. My mom said we were going to the store because my outfit looked bad to her, I honestly liked the way it looked. We drove to the store and she picked out this shirt and jacket and made me try them on. I didn't like them, so we got into an argument, and she started crying in the middle of the store, she took me home and here I am now. I know I should feel bad for this, but I really don't, I feel like she deserved it. Whenever I cry like that I get yelled at, its no fair that she gets to do it without p...

Too Much Affection?? Kinda creeps me out...
Posted Saturday October 17 2015, 7:45 am
Ok, so I have this friend. He's been my bestfriend since we were 12, and we're currently 16. One day, he went to the countryside and met his male cousin. When he came back, they texted as if they were lovers, like "Hi... I miss you... I love you". When I ask him, why would he say that, he always replies "He's my cousin. It's normal" I still feel like it isn't. Also, his cousin has a bad reputation, he lives alone at a young age, and his FB wall is filled with dirty stuff. My friend, on the other hand, is basically the kindest person I knew. Gosh... this is really weird to share...

Read sisters messages-now think she's being bullied
Posted Wednesday October 14 2015, 2:52 pm
So I have a twin sister and she is alot quieter and less assertive shall we say than I am.
Recently I've got into a habit (all be it a bad one) of logging into her facebook account-she doesn't know but I know her password.
I only did it one day because i noticed she was messaged unusually alot of people. Then today I discovered something bad. A flatmate she lives with sent her a message (looked sarcastic) with a link to really posh make up brushes (£130 each) saying she would want one and the other flat mate wants two.
The message was littered with kisses and before it, it was like 'we've got a present for you sexy'.
Now as far as I know my sister works during the day so doesn't even see much of her hou...

Narcissistic mother
Posted Sunday September 27 2015, 4:32 pm
I feel like my mom is using me. And has narcissistic tendencies. Things will be fine, we have our disagreements, like any mother daughter relationship. She gets mad when I don't answer right away, but its acceptable when she doesn't. She gets mad when I come to her with a problem and makes me feel like it doesn't matter. But gets angered when I don't come to her. For example, she has been really busy, but gets lovey dovey with me, asks for favors and then when I give in, she goes back to being distant. I talked to her about it, she got mad, denied it all, and pointed fingers at me saying I was pushing her away. He got even more distant, til last week when she needed help. She got her way, as it was easier not to fight over it. Then got dist...
