Mother issues. She is controlling and I am constantly stressed around her!
Posted Tuesday April 26 2011, 7:28 pm
First, lets set the scene.
I am a 20 year old male living with my mom, my brother, and one of my sisters. My mom is in her 50's, my brother and sister in their early to mid 30's. My other sister is married and lives with her husbands parents over 100 miles away.
I am somewhat unemployed. I work as a temp and I only have jobs sometimes. I am still actively looking for a job but no luck, mostly because I didn't have experience before.
My mom works as a baby nurse, but makes under 10k a year because she doesn't get many jobs.
My brother doesn't work.
My sister that lives with me works part time at Wal-Mart and has been unable to find something better.

My mom has been my bestfriend, the person who i could run to if or when i'm feeling down, i told her everything, we talk about everything, i always thought she was honest with me because she is a christian... My dad died when i was 12, we were sooo close and since then i 've never been the same, about 3yrs after i learnt that he wasn't my dad, from her mouth, for a month straight i couldn't look in the mirror straight because it was like i never recognize myself, my reflection....i didn't know who i was, now i don't even know how to trust her anymore.

Why does my mom favor my younger brother
Posted Sunday April 24 2011, 9:34 pm
I'm 12 years old and my younger brother is basically 11. My mom has to spend days reminding him to do stuff like dishes or laundry but he never gets in trouble. My mom said if he didn't do the dishes on a certain day he wouldn't get his Ps2 right, he doesn't do it and the day after he gets it. Me, she told me to clean my room in an hour she never said when I had to start doing it and if I would get punished, after I do my home work(which takes an hour) my mom comes in and says, "Not done? No T.V. for a week." I clean my room after and nope, nothing I'm still T.V. free. Another example, there's no swearing in our house. I call Ethan a "dumbo" 'cause he's got big ears and I get my art rights taken away. He calls me a F---i...

Family vs. Education
Posted Sunday April 24 2011, 1:43 pm
I really can't handle my mom. Like, I really can't. She use to be my BEST friend, but now she's like crazy. I stayed home while going to the university. It's been 2 years now, which means I have 2 years left. I've been thinking of transferring to another university, because I feel like my mom isn't letting me live. She doesn't respect my schoolwork or academics. She doesn't understand all the work I have to do. She doesn't congratulate me on my grades. She's extremely jealous. Every time I have a date or I'm out with a friend, she gets super jealous, texts me every five minutes, asks me when I'm coming home. If I'm with a guy, she'll call me constantly. She always wants to drop me off and pick me up, whether it's a date or whether I'm going...

I can't deal with my mom
Posted Wednesday April 20 2011, 7:23 pm
I know I've asked this question on here before, but I haven't really gotten a response. This is very serious and I really don't know what to do. I'm growing to a bigger a bigger depression. When i was a senior in high school, I wanted to leave my hometown to go to school. I thought it would be a good opportunity and what a better excuse to leave home than that you are studying? Well, it didn't happen. The day after I graduated, I found out I was adopted. My mom and I were fighting SO much because she would do anything in her power not to let me go. I sincerely think my mom is OBSESSED with me and it scares me. I watch scary movies about obsessed mothers and my mom has an excuse to justify almost everything they do.

My name is Michael, Im 15 and a freshman in high school.
I live with my mom, dad, and sister. My mom is emotionally abusive to me, and is psycho beyond belief. My sister helps me get through the tough times, but next year shes going away to college and won't be here. My dad feels sorry for me, but won't help me at all.

Well, i noticed that it looked off. I blew it off, grabbed a 20 and went to dinner. Well i came home and counted my money. It turns out im missing 80 bucks!!! I have had the stash of money, for a while, and i keep up with how much is there everyday...

My mum just makes me feel really bad about myself
Posted Monday April 18 2011, 1:37 pm
Whenever my mum sees me she points out everything that is bad about me. For example, I have just had my hair cut, and when I got home, she said she hated it. She said it was too thin, not long enough etc. I just feel so upset about my life and I want to die.

I'm afraid they'll judge me.
Posted Monday April 18 2011, 9:13 am
My family is very stern about meeting the guys I date. I usually wait to see how the relationship goes before I introduce them to each other. In the past my boyfriends have gotten along good with my family, but I am nervous about this one. My boyfriend has red orange hair and I am afraid my parents will judge me. They've always made jokes about people with orange colored hair and I don't want to be teased. I want my boyfriend to feel comfortable, more so. He's very sweet and I want my parents to see how happy he makes me. But I am scared they'll be so mean. Any advice?

She is bringing me down.
Posted Thursday April 14 2011, 9:16 am
Long story short, my mom is constantly bringing me down. I'm only fifteen, about to be sixteen.
She tells me I'm selfish and treats me like I'm five. I'm a very forgetful person and I get punished for it. I think it is wrong. My mom tells me that I won't make it anywhere in life because I don't know what to do with myself. She expects perfection out of my sister and I and we are very sensitive. She is always bringing me down. She has no faith in me. She gets mad and pissy because I can't be what she wants me to be. She gets angry when I tell her things and she's always trying to control my life. I need some freedom. She is tearing me apart. Yesterday she threatened to smash my head through the windshield because I didn't tur...
