What's the best way to go about this plan?

My mom and I do NOT get along. She's very manipulative,mentally abusive and borderline bipolar She fights with me on everything and threatens me all the time and demands money out of me.
I just got out of school last Friday and I graduate on the 9th.
Every day she comes home and screams at me that I haven't started working yet (I've only been home 5 days). She claims Im just "effing around' at home and wasting her money and time (Even though she gets 1k in child support every month until I turn 18) and no matter how many times I tell her I've filled out over 40 applications already she never believes me and continues to call me an idiot and worthless. She refuses to pay for anything and never saved up any ...

Did I Do Wrong By My Son?
Posted Monday June 4 2012, 10:45 pm
Long story short, my son, Mark is with his second wife and she doesn't like my family. It's because she wants her children (my step grandchildren) to be more important than my biological grandchildren, but they make NO effort with my the rest family. so they are not considered grandchildren at all. So his wife doesn't like him to come see us. Now, my daughter's been talking about getting my granddaughter a car, so Mark promised my her that she could have a Jeep he bought for her. He basically bought it as an excuse to HAVE to come see us, as well as to be a big hero to my granddaughter. She had her little heart set on it and when Mark told his wife, she forbade him to go. He kept the car and told his wife he'd have to bring it down here eve...

Not talking to my mom
Posted Sunday June 3 2012, 1:24 am
its all started out of my mom saying that I'm not a perfect daughter to her, and i told her so many times that i cant be a perfect daughter to her.
she got mad at me and after a couple of days i apologize to her, then went to green bay with my boyfriend.
I'm guessing she got mad at me, she was thinking that i only apologize to her so i can go with my boyfriend, but its not true.
she is trying to break my relationship with my boyfriend and I'm not liking that.
i know my mom is worried about my past because i was married once, but i mean if she except every guy that i date is going to failed me, then why am i even with a guy.
that's what makes me so mad at her is because she doesn't understand me at all.

I found out yesterday that my aunt had a miscarriage and that she was in the hospital getting the fetus removed. I know it's been really hard for her especially because she had some trouble getting pregnant before that. I really want to do something to comfort my aunt because I know she needs it. Is there anything that I can say or do that might make her feel a little better?

My Dad cheated on my mom with her bestfriend.
Posted Thursday May 31 2012, 4:42 pm
In april my dad cheated on my mom with her bestfriend and they have had a relationship ever since. My parents divorced and my dad is still dating my moms bestfriend. When my mom was friends with her, she told my mom how she cheated on her husband with her boss and many other people. Her and her husband are divorced now andI have no doubt she's already cheating on my dad too. Anyways, my mom has 90% custody of me so my dad has me 2 days a week. During those 2 days he is constantly texting her, we barely talk. I refuse to be around my moms ex bestfriend because I hate her and everything she does. My dad can't stand that I'm being so stubborn and neither can she. I already told my dad I want nothing to do with her, yet he constantly asks ...

Addiction to Social Media

I am getting really worried about my mom lately. She has been obsessed with facebook for about a year now, she is on it for about 3-4 hours a day, every week.My dad has to work about 10-13 hours a day, and he has to clean around the house, because my mom is to lazy lately.My dad and my grandparents think that the family relationship is getting demolished. Somtimes my mom will lock herself in her bedroom on a video call with a "friend" named Tony.

I did a study last weekend to see how long she spent on facebook. She was awake 13.5 hours, and 5 hours o...

My mom thinks I'm stupid and it hurts
Posted Wednesday May 30 2012, 1:11 am
14/f
I've been going through a ton of stress for the past week (and will be for the next two weeks) due to the fact that my teachers thought it would be appropriate to assign major projects all due this week right before final exams. So, I've been stressing out lately, and last week I worked for about five hours a day to try to make a dent in all of these stupid projects I have. Anyway, I worked a ton last week, and then over the weekend I hung out with some friends (a normal thing for a teenager to do) and relaxed to try to de-stress myself. Well, whenever I relax my mom always gets mad at me and says I should be doing my homework. Then she goes on about how she never sees me work and all I do is lay around and listen to music. Who...

Getting My Parents to Accept My Engagement
Posted Tuesday May 29 2012, 11:47 pm
I have been in a relationship for four and a half years now with a wonderful, handsome, loving, huge hearted man who I love more than anything and plan to marry. My dad doesn't take the relationship seriously and my aunt told me about some negative things my mom told her about him. My dad tells people that he used to worry about me and my sister getting married too young, but we'd have to find somebody to marry first, so he won't have to worry for a while. It makes me feel bad because not only is he saying he doesn't have faith in my relationship, but he's making other people think the same way. I plan to get married before my sister who is 20 months older than me, but my dad tells people that at one wedding, when the father had to give the...

My stepdad has gone too far
Posted Monday May 28 2012, 11:00 am
I am seventeen and a girl. I live with my mom, stepdad, and brother and sister. I have a boyfriend of ten months who is absolutely perfect. We decided last night to make a very big decision to have protected sex. Little did I know my stepdad installed cameras into the entire house. He did not tell my mom he found out but he has labeled me as a slut and that it's his decision to decide if I am ready to have sex or not. I am upset that all of this happened but I honestly don't care. Even if I did want to tell them, I wouldn't. My parents never praise me for being honest and I am too scared to talk to them about anything anyway. I'm thinking my stepdad used the camera tactic to scare me into telling him but the same time he said I should be ho...

My mom... I am warning you it's long
Posted Sunday May 27 2012, 2:08 pm
Hi! I'm in a situation where I'm not really sure what to do. It has to with my mom. So, let me start off giving you a little bit of background information on her. I am adopted. My parents adopted me the day that I was born, so these are my parents and this is a happy story, not a sad one. However, my parents are divorced. Because of this, my mom and I have been very close. As I was growing up, I told my mother everything. Apparently, this wasn't reciprocated, since she did not tell me that I was adopted. She kept that a secret from me until after the day that I graduated from high school. I am in no way condemning this. There really isn't a right time to tell someone. I am just giving you the background information. Because she had kept thi...

I am in my 80s, and my daughter and grand daughter moved in. Some of the changes aren't good, how do I fix things?
Posted Saturday May 26 2012, 2:59 pm
I am in my early 80's and in fairly good health. My husband died 5 years ago. WE had a good marriage and had two children. My daughter has been living with me for almost ten months due to a change in jobs and some monetary problems.She is a single mother whose daughter(my granddaughter)has just finished her first year of college, and is now living with me as well. I have a good sized house so that they each have their own rooms. Here is the problem. I have been extremely independent even after my husband died. Now I find that I am cooking, changing much of my routine and lacking my privacy. In addition, while I am NOT a cleaning 'freak' I do resent their rooms looking like pig sties. My computer is in one of the rooms so I have to use the r...

I Want To Help Him
Posted Friday May 18 2012, 9:14 pm
Okay so, there's this guy(age 17) I care about a lot. He has a ton of problems though and I really want to help him. His father died about a year or two ago and he moved out his mothers house and in with his alcoholic brother and two other guys. His mother seems to have problems of her own and has been bettering herself recently, going off to college and such. He and his mother never have had a real mother/son relationship and I can tell this really bothers him. I was thinking about messaging his mother(since there is no other way for me to get in contact with her) but I'm completely sure if I should or how I should do it. Please, I really need advice!

Stepmother problem
Posted Thursday May 17 2012, 2:49 am
My stepmother and my father have been married for awhile now. She's the classic evil stepmother. She made it so we hardly see our father, he is wipped. She targeted my sister when she was my older 16 (awhile ago) when we didn't call for Mother's day the first year they were married. It was messed up but we were really polite. She emailed my sister mean messages, my sister was only kind back, she got my father to take her of of his insurance once she was 18 (when it would have been FREE to have her on until she's 26 because of the family plan and she's in college). She yelled at my father's sweet mother, threw a present at her head, is really mean to my whole father's side. There is something wrong with her I think, my mother took her emails...

Step-mother problems
Posted Tuesday May 15 2012, 7:04 pm
My father remarried 7 years ago. She emailed my sister (who was 16 at the time) a really cruel message 6 months after they were married because we did not call her on Mother's day. She ranted and raved about how hurt she was and said that we were no longer welcome in her home. My sister responded by saying that we just did not feel like we knew her very well and we simply didn't think of calling her on Mother's day and apologized. The woman continued to email my sister mean messages until my mom took all of the messages to a family therapist to get advice, and the therapist said my Dad's wife is highly unstable and should not be allowed to communicate with us without someone present. My Mom continued to be nice to her, but then the wo...

How can i convince my parents to let me go to Europe with my friend and her family? I've already mentioned that I'm a nursing student in college, with a 3.8 GPA, while i work 30 hours a week, I have my own money, so they wouldn't have to pay for anything, i've been studying european languages for years, I've never been outside the country. They know I'm a responsible person but they just have this HUGE thing with terrorism and planes and stuff. I just feel miserable like I work so hard can never get a break.

i want to kill my mom sometimes
Posted Saturday May 12 2012, 4:02 pm
My mother is very religious and tries to force me to be, too, but I'm REALLY not. But she keeps pushing me to be more like her or even my older sister. She says she loves me no matter what, but she still attempts to force me to be someone I'm not: a sweet little Christian-y angel. How can I deal with her without resorting to murder?
