How to work my relationship with my husband out
Posted Tuesday May 10 2011, 6:15 pm
I love my husband to death but we have not been getting along i know that i can be picky sometimes but what woman is not. So my husband made a promise to me that he would not smoke anymore so when he asked yesterday i immediatly said no and of course he got mad. So today he tells me he has been thinking alot and since we have gotten together i have tried to change everything about him and pretty much hes the one that tries to make me happy but i dont do it in return! so my question is what should i do about this?????? I told him from the beginning what i was looking for and now hes mad!I really just feel like this relationship is sinking and sinking fast.

Mom overreacts to the point she drives herself to actually hate me
Posted Tuesday May 10 2011, 3:16 pm
My mom gets really angry really easily. I'm her only daughter and i'm 16 and she treats me like i'm disposable.
Like today she found out that I missed school because the power went out and screwed up my alarm clock last night.
I told her what happened and she refused to believe me and made up all sorts of crazy delusions in her head about what she thinks really happened. She started screaming and cussing me out and telling me that she's going to call social services and have them come take me away because she hates me so much and that she thinks i'm a complete failure.
Every time anything go's the least bit wrong she go's nuts. She makes up scenarios in her head that never actually happened an...

DNA testing
Posted Sunday May 8 2011, 9:33 pm
I am trying to find out how myself and a possible sibling can go about getting a DNA test done. I know there are the kinds u can by over the counter but i wanted to see if i can go to my doctor? This possible sibling could share the same birth father but wont know til we are tested.She is his daughter and he could be mine. I was never tested and he never claimed to be my father or even acknowledge me. I wanted to see if insurance covers this? All i want to find out if i am his daughter? and medical history. I dont need a father never had one and so bitter over it i dont want him in my life. Just wanted to see if we can have a test done at a doctors office vs over the counter and if insurance will cover because we are both over 18.

my mother lashed out
Posted Tuesday May 3 2011, 4:10 pm
Well today my mom was breathing down my neck as usual about my english grade and college. I need to upgrade my english marks for a college course, so i have to sign up for an adult high school for the course. She keeps reminding me about it and she keeps telling me i better get it done quick every time she sees me and i was getting sick of it. So for once in my 17 years of living i actually stood up to her and told her to stop pressuring me about school. Then she lashed out at me about how she doesn't care about me anymore. What should i do now?

Not supporting me...
Posted Monday May 2 2011, 6:52 pm
I'm not the smartest kid in the world, but not I'm not dumb either. I'm pretty much useless, though, and I don't have anything that would jump out at people, except... I do write. It's about the only thing I do with myself and I'm not exaggerating in the least bit when I say that I write day and night, from the time I get home from school to the time I get home. I carry a notebook with me everywhere just in case I'm hit with inspiration.
Well, everyone knows that I like writing, but no one ever supports me. My friends always brag about my writing, but it makes me feel like crap because I know that not a single one of them has ever read my writing. My parents haven't even read my writing and they do the same thing. I have offered them...

My parents always insults me
Posted Friday April 29 2011, 4:01 pm
I'm 17 turning 18 and i'm a girl.
Whenever there is a silence in the house, my parents always bring up the subject about my future, they always say stuff like 'what will you do when you grow up'. When i tell them i do not know, or i can't decide, my dad just said that i'm some sort of highschool dropout even though i get Bs or As, sometimes Cs in my classes. They're always saying stuff like: you're such a disappointment, can't you do anything right?, why can't you care about your future?, you are so ungrateful, etc. They never praise me, and if i do manage to get a good grade average, they say stuff like: you better keep it this way, why can't it be like this all the time?
One of the worst things is that my mom puts words in m...

The plan
Posted Friday April 29 2011, 10:21 am
I think I acted pretty annoying before, so my cousins decided to make a plan, that is to ignore me (I know this 'cause I've noticed). So I asked my sister about (she's included in the plan). She admits it, and I told her to stop. And then I talked to my mother about it. But, it's been two years, and it didn't improve. Now, whenever my sister gets out of the room, they ignore me completely, and they can't even look at me. Please help me!

My dad hates my boyfriend... of 3 years!!
Posted Friday April 29 2011, 6:41 am
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 4years, im happy and we love each other, the only problem is, my dad doesnt like him. He gets along with my mum & she absolutely loves him! At the start when we first started dating my dad seem to like him until he started judging him on little things. Because he is 3 years older than me, (im 20) he doesnt have a house or nice car or isnt like a man he wishes my boyfriend to be, it really upsets me. My dad never really says anything positive about him until 1 day we almost broke up & I was really upset, he seemed to care then about our relationship? & he went back to normal again... My boy is good to me, he buys me everything, treats me right, knows how to have fun & he may not have...

father that won't listen
Posted Thursday April 28 2011, 10:52 pm
Today I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone while I was doing homework. I was actually making progress on it (more than I would have otherwise) because I was doing something I enjoy at the same time. My dad yelled at me to hang up the phone and get off of the computer so that my brother could play his computer games. I tried to explain the situation but he wouldn't listen. He said I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone in order to avoid homework. He didn't understand that it was actually helping me. I am afraid to tell him that multitasking is actually a better way for me to study. As I said my goodbyes to my girlfriend he continued to yell at me. I tried talking to him in a calm voice which just made him mad. He grabbed...

I HATE My Mother...Any advice?

Is it wrong to genuinely hate my mother?
I was adopted from birth and feel as if I've always felt neglected by my mother ever since I was little. From what I can remember, there's always been something kind of quarrel or discrepancy, and it's frustrating, because I used to try really hard to, as much as I hate her, acquire some approbative pride in me from her...
She's a bigot, self-righteous, narrow-minded, intensely judgmental, and has always more or less acted officiously toward everyone else besides my dad that yells at her, and once he yells at her, she'll start throwing things and slamming doors, cupboards, etc.
I know I'm not a five year old anymore, but it really bo...
