Dealing with an affair
Posted Sunday September 11 2011, 6:08 am
I recently found out my wife had an affair with my brother about 12 yrs. ago. Not sure if I should confront her about it or not. Feel like I've played a fool for a long time. Unsure what to do.

San Diego Power Outage
Posted Friday September 9 2011, 2:46 am
If you don't know, there is a massive power outage that has most of San Diego county in the dark. My parents live there, and I can't reach them.
How do I contact my relatives in San Diego when their phones don't work since they went out with the power?
If anyone has any ideas, I would thank you for your help!

Intervention for my mom!
Posted Thursday September 8 2011, 1:34 pm
My Father died when I was 6 years old, and it is now 10 years later and my Mother still hasn't properly grieved for him. She has not had a job since, (my father, financially, left us off very well) and she is constantly "keeping herself busy" with pointless things to do. She has an extreme ammount of stress for no reason at all, because she is CONSTANTLY worrying about everyone she knows.. She also has a gambling addiction, which she is working on at the moment, and a smoking addiction. She has gotten to the point where she stresses so much that it is starting to effect her health (giving her eye twitches and other physical problems). Her nerves are basically shocked and it is extremely hard to try and convince her that ANY of thi...

We don't like her boyfriend
Posted Wednesday September 7 2011, 6:14 pm
I'm 21/female. My very best friend recently met her boyfriend, and brought him home to meet me and our family. It's important to note that she has been very very sick for four years; she can rarely leave the house and suffers from an incurable illness that leaves her very weak. While we are happy for her that she may be falling in love, we are VERY suspicious of her new beau. He has been rude, immature and controlling. He touches her ass and sticks his tongue in her mouth when we are in the room. We doubt his intentions and he is very disrespectful to her mother. We worry he has white knight syndrome. She doesn't see him the same way and it has caused a rift to grow between our beloved family.
She has changed so much since sh...

school/work
Posted Wednesday September 7 2011, 9:56 am
20/f in college, living at home. therefore, in a way, i guess i feel obligated to work. it's not that my family is MAKING me work, but if i don't work, i don't have any money. i have friends who left for college, and their parents give them like a monthly allowance, which i think is fair. if i'm going to school full time and am planning on getting a master's (so I need to get good grades, so I can get into grad school), i think i should get some form of income/allowance from my parents. i don't think i'm asking for a lot. i have a friend who gets $1000 dollars a month. i would be happy with $400. Just so that I can eat lunch and maybe do my nails . that's all. but, my mom doesn't work. i don't think she has an interest in working because sh...

I'm interested in the same sex sometimes. My parents ignore it.
Posted Tuesday September 6 2011, 10:34 pm
I'm a 16 year old girl and I've noticed my attraction to the same sex since I was 14. I'm also attracted to some guys too but that's usually so rare I find it hard to define myself as bisexual. Or lesbian. I'm just undefined right now I guess. Last year, I came out and told my dad and my step mother I had feelings for other females while driving in the car one day. They're strict Catholics and I knew that they'd give me all this shit about, "being gay is a sin" and "gay people are forever banished heaven" also "gay people can't create children therefore an abomination." I was prepared for all that mess. I have my own mind and challenge written/spoken authorities. I also believe that it's not a crime to apprecia...

My mom doesn't love me?
Posted Monday September 5 2011, 12:52 pm
I'm 16 yrs old and my mom is constantly angry at me. This has been like this since my brother(12) came back home from living on the other side of the country, where he lived with my dad for a while. She ignores me in favor of listen to whatever my brother's saying instead of me. My bro will snap at me and talk to me like I'm a piece dirt and when I snap back(out of anger) she tells me off like I'm the one in the wrong. My bro talks to my mum like she is a piece of dirt, he is always cussing and he always demands money and things to be bought for him but we're quite a poor family(I'm on my friend's computer currently). She throws stuff i've done for her back in my face for example she will constantly go on about how she needs something ...

how to get out of the house!?
Posted Wednesday August 31 2011, 12:44 pm
Hello. I am 17 years old. I am starting college soon (commuting). However, as of now, I live with an extremley mentally and verbally abusive father who is very neglectful. I need to get out of the house, ASAP. Right now, I don't have a car or license, or job, so I don't know how I would be able to make it on my own. I already have to pay for college and I don't know how I could add on more expenses. What are my options? Foster care? A shelter? I do'nt have any other family nearby. I do'nt know what to do or how much more of this I can take. Thank you for your time.

HER friend
Posted Saturday August 27 2011, 12:47 am
About a year ago, I was hanging out with my aunts, one of their husbands, and one of their best friends, we'll call him B. They asked me to drive him home, so I did, and one thing led to another and after a few drinks we ended up sleeping together. Well we kept it quiet for almost a year, and I didn't see him. My nephew turned one this past summer and B was at the party. We couldn't hide our feelings, and one of my aunts saw us kissing, and they all started picking on him and asking him if he was into me. His ex cheated on him a while ago so he's still pretty upset about it and hurt and doesn't want to get into a relationship. Anyway my aunt (that he's close to) is a total b**** and she is really mean to me. She told both me and B that it w...

Brother going to college :(
Posted Tuesday August 23 2011, 12:33 am
14/f
My brother and I have always been very close. We have a great time together and he is my best friend. He is going to be a sophomore in college this year. I survived him being gone when he was a freshman because I found I didn't think about him much when I was busy. However, he is leaving tomorrow and I am so so so sad. I always cry when he leaves to go back after breaks and stuff. I am crying right now because I am going to miss him so much. Any tips on how to not feel so depressed? I start high school in two days so that should help a little, but I am still so sad :(

How do I tell my mom I got my period?
Posted Monday August 22 2011, 5:44 pm
Hey, I got my period not to long ago and I don't know how to tell my mom. When she was little she didn't have to tell her mom because her mom gave her everything she might need and said to figure it out on her own. I wish my mom would do that. But my mom is the type of person that puts everything on facebook and I don't really want for her to do that with me. I don't know how to tell her.

Mom wants to be facebook friends
Posted Monday August 22 2011, 12:58 am
I have been asking my mom for a facebook for over a year now. Finally, she agreed as long as she got one also and became my friend. Um, no. First of all I would be her only friend, which means she would basically go on and look at everything in my profile all the time. I know my mom, and she LOVES to snoop. I do not want to be friends with her. No. I don't want her seeing what people write on my wall and everything. How do I convince her not to do this??? I desperately want a facebook and can't get one otherwise... How can I get her to let me get one but not to become friends with me?

I have NO privacy at home
Posted Sunday August 21 2011, 11:30 am
I'm thirteen, turning fourteen and I have NO privacy. At all. Ever since I was nine, she thought it was funny reading my journals, going through my cell phone, blocking websites like YouTube and games websites. It's ridiculous. It's a crime to close a door in the house, even if I'm in the bathroom or changing in my room. My parents never knock, and always barge in. I found it necessary to protect my iPhone with five different passwords. My two sibs come in my room, use my stuff, ruin my homework, draw on my walls... It's ridiculous. I don't think the "open doors" thing is really working right now! I NEED MY SPACE!
