Why am I feeling like this, and what do I do??
Posted Tuesday February 17 2015, 12:30 pm
(Sorry this is long, I'm in desperate need of help)
I'm 15 with very severe anxiety. Well, straight to the point, I feel like I'm being watched. I saw my dad looking at pornographic photos a few days ago (And a few times before that months apart), and ever since, I've felt weird. I felt like this before that, but now it's worse I think. I feel like my dad is a pedophile for some reason, but I think it's just my bad anxiety. For example, I don't want to go to a male therapist because I'm afraid of being molested. I have crazily bad anxiety, so..
Also, I haven't been raped before or anything nor touched by my dad. But I just feel like there are cameras in my room or something and I get scared. Also in the bathroom when I...

Does my mom want to control my life?
Posted Tuesday February 17 2015, 12:34 am
I'm 18 and still have one year of high school to go. My mom has alwsys intimidated me in a way where I feel like speaking gets me killed. I can't fully be honest because my mom snaps at me for being ignorant and selfish. She gets pissed at me for not knowing what I want or not understanding myself, then when I tell her what's really going through my mind she says it's my fault that there's problems. Right now my younger sister wants me dead because she allows her friends to harass me and she's told me that I need to kill myself all because my mom refused to let her rejoin color guard. I tell my mom and her response is "well you shouldn't have pissed her off." What kind of parent does that?

Troubled Young Step mom.

F/21
My fiance and I have been together 3 years. His daughter is 4 and I have helped raise her. He has split custody with mom. I understand as a "step mom" I really can't have an opinion on any of their matters and try to stay out of the fire. I text mom if we are coordinating pick up or drop off, we talk when we are all at events for their daughter or simply having a meeting for schedules. I find myself to be civil and don't think their is anything wrong with keeping our relationship as that. I don't want to be friends with her. She takes this as me hating her and tells me I think of her as a witch and hate her because I won't get to know her and base my opinions of her off gossip. She texts me every few weeks demanding a ...

She has a car of her own and she is renting out the minivan right now and said she would take it back when I got my license to help me out. She would never tell me any of this information about her income and how much she makes ever. She is very stubborn abad will yell at me and ask why I'm so concerned, there's now way that's even a possibility to ask her about that stuff

This is advice is complicated
Posted Thursday February 12 2015, 10:21 am
This advice is over complicated, i don't have time to do that. And it would be very hard for me to help pay for some of the expenses since the job i work at is part time and minimum wage. My father didn't pay child support and my brother has a different dad from me and we don't know where his dad is. He ran away from home when my brother was a baby. I would also like to say that I would like to start saving my money for stuff for me later on in life like when i get my license, i must pay for half the car insurance and gas on a huge gas wasting minivan. Take these into account with my situation as well.

Mom issues
Posted Wednesday February 11 2015, 2:23 pm
Okay, so, my mom is a single mother and she works two jobs and somehow she has no money for anything. I understand its hard to be a single mother, but its out of control. She has two jobs, she doesn't pay for a lot of stuff for me anymore, she's making me pay for my phone bill and my brothers phone bill (he's 11, I'm 18), I just started my first job a month ago. We live in a condo, and she's still paying for mortgage and she's behind on the monthly dues. I don't understand where all her money is going. She makes me do everything around the house and she gets mad at me so easily. I just recently saw an envelope with my college fund money and its 10,000 dollars less than it was before and I have a strong feeling that she took it out and spent...

Parents won't let me buy anything
Posted Sunday February 8 2015, 4:00 pm
HI, I'm 13 years old. My parents won't buy anything for me or even let me buy anything with my own money, I don't know what to do. My parents say they don't want to spoil me and say that I'm a brat just for asking. But also, how will I learn to manage money if I can't make a mistake while learning how to. I only have 43 dollars and I've been saving that up like my whole life, and when I ask my dad for something and present him with the money, he thinks I stole the money. PLEASE HELP.

My parents aren't intimate??
Posted Wednesday February 4 2015, 4:46 pm
So, I'm a teenager, and my parents seem happy together. They go places together and talk, but... Well, first off, they don't sleep in the same bed. My mom has three dogs who like sleeping with her, so she sleeps on the couch with them. My dad sleeps in the bed alone because the dogs annoy him when they crowd the whole bed. Is this weird? Also, I know this'll sound weird, but they never have sexual intercourse. I know it's none of my business, but I know for a FACT that they haven't done anything of the sort since I was, like, born... I'd know if they did, LOL. Since they're never alone in a room with the doors shut or whatever, and they're just never... Alone. Except for when they talk and are at the store, but I know that my parents aren't...

Moving before senior year/racist parents
Posted Saturday January 31 2015, 1:05 pm
Hi everyone, this is my 1st time using this website & I'm hoping to get some substantial advice. Basically, my parents are divorced & me & my younger sibling (very attached to them) live with my mother, who had depression and anxiety. She wants to move across the country because of family who can support her there. But, I'm an AP student & would lose credits, GPA, & ranking if I moved. Naturally, I want to stay here (also because of a long term relationship with my boyfriend) but also because I want to go to college here. Any advice? Is it smart to move for family when you truly don't want to? Also, I'm in an interraical relationship my mom doesn't approvd of because of old fashioned thoughts, but it's been 1 yr & he...

Hurting my Mother's Feelings
Posted Tuesday January 27 2015, 10:39 pm
Hi! I'm a transgender teen (female to make) I haven't come out or anything yet but I know I'll have to. I asked another question in regards to coming out a few days ago, but this is a whole different topic. I'll obvioudly have to pick a name when I transition. I've been considering Gabe, Ben, and Lance. But I feel SO guilty changing my name because my mother always talks about how ever since she was little she's always wanted a girl named Laura Grace and that's why she gave me, her firstborn daughter, that name. She always talks about how I "have the best name out of the bunch" ("the bunch" being my 5 other siblings). She's so proud of my name because it's a mix of her favorite boom character (Laura) and the grandmother...

twin brother hates my girlfriend
Posted Friday January 23 2015, 11:24 am
I'm 31 years old and female. My twin brother can't stand my girlfriend. My brother told me to choose, him or her. I ended up choosing him and broke up with her. I couldn't take being without her. I love her very much and could see myself with her for the rest of our lives. So we got back together. Now my brother hates me. He ignores me and barely acknowledges my existence. We live together with our parents and the tension unbearable. I don't know what to do. I love my brother very much and I don't want to hurt him. But I also love my gf. Should I give up my soul mate to please him?

how much responsibility do I bear for something I did as a kid
Posted Friday January 9 2015, 9:22 am
Thank you for reading and advising!
When I was a child, too young to remember, I hit a golf ball with a hammer and it hit my sister in the tooth.
Now we are both around 40 years old and that tooth developed some problems and requires surgery. I'm not sure how much guilt/financial responsibility I should be feeling. I would appreiate some 3rd party advise. Thanks!

I feel useless and pathetic
Posted Thursday January 8 2015, 6:39 pm
These past few days I've been feeling really down. I'm a senior in highschool and I've always done good in school and gotten 90s and 100s but this year I'm getting 80s I know it's not horrible but I won't be able to make honor roll, which I really want to. I'm surprised I even made it last semester considering how my grades have dropped this year. But I'm taking honors classes and 2 AP's. I barely have any friends, only one that I really talk to in school and eat lunch with. I feel like no one likes me and thinks of me as pathetic and a loser because I'm quiet. The reason I don't talk much in my classes is because I might have social anxiety. I'm always worried about what other people are gonna say or think of me. It's always been like this...

How to make my mother stop harassing me about my weight?
Posted Sunday January 4 2015, 7:46 pm
So I am in my late 20s, i'm a little overweight, partly due to some medication I am on. My doctor says this is normal. I am able to run, walk long distances without puking, passing out etc. Every year when I get my physical and bloodwork done, everything comes back perfect.
My mother treats me like I weigh 600 pounds. She is constantly judging what I eat and making comments about it. I am at the point where I feel extremely uncomfortable eating around her or going out with her. I am comfortable in my own skin but she obviously despises how I look, and has made some pretty nasty comments. I've told her that I'm happy with how I am but she constantly tries to make me see nutritionists or try fad diets.
