I have been at that point for a long time. I am so sick of the games and how they drag my self esteem into the dirt. How they mess with my head and use my kids as tools to manipulate me and get me to do things their way. They are the only people that can actually make me feel bad about who I am and my life.... and I don't want to be part of that family again until I feel ready (if ever)... but I can't seem to let go of them... to walk out of their lives. And as long as I am in their lives I feel like I am a bad person... I have set bounderies. I have talked to them. I have tried being rude to them to push them away. It affects me, my parenting skills, my life. How do I get the courage to walk away???

When I was little, it seemed like my father hated me. He was always hitting me and choking me until I was ready to pass out. He always yelled at me over everything. He died when I was 13, and I am afraid to talk to anyone around me about it. So...Can this affect my life now in any way? I wish I could've talked to him about it, and now I will never get the chance to. I feel mad all the time, and I have recently been told I have anxiety disorder. I don't want to take the medicine the doctor gave me though, because it don't seem like it works. But I am worried because I get feelings of anger all the time, and I have even thought about just going nuts one day and killing some people that bother me at school. So...I was just wondering if this could be the reason, and how I could possibly get any help for it.

when i was a kid i was expected to address adults with respect such as calling them Mr. Jones or whatever i was expected to shake the hand of an adult say thank you and so on. I knew to respect my elders. it seems though that as time goes on in our country we as a society are getting away from that, we are pushing towards treating children as equals, they are not they are children. we allow children to cal adults by their first name, and not shake their hand, we allow them to disobey and no one says anything. now i am not saying that every family is like this i am saying that there is a growing trend nationwide towards this. i am trying to figure out why it is that people feel that kids should not have to treat elders with respect.

1st am not asking how to be disabled. Well aware. Asking specifically on how to handl overbearing aunt who treats me like a child and intentionally launches into long speeches on why i should do should do something around family. This is after i told her no. She intentionally sabatoged two things imp to me over christmas. Not asking advice on how to be disabled. Already know, and non disabled people have nothing of any importance to add to a total strangter they dont know circumpstances of disability. Very condescending and will recieve low rating. I am asking how to when an aunt intentionally tries to go over head over things that do not involve her and she is not paying for around family, how do i handle situation. Especially when in private, i told her no.

I was recently in a situation. I told my daughter to get in her room after an argument where she became very defiant. She said "No, What are you going to do about it" I lowered my voice and said "Go Now" She still did not move. I told her she was grounded for her disrespectful behavior. She then said "I do not care." I have to admit I felt like smacking her. But i did not., I took a deep breath and walked away But What do I do? How do I deal with this behavior.?

My mom and dad always buy my sister new clothes and she has just as many as I do. They always say "You have enough clothes for the whole world" I hate it because it feels like my sister is being favored. Is it true?

She never respects my property and never gives me any privacy, and always sneaks into my room and steals all of my things. Also, she always hits me when she's mad because she thinks she'll get her way. She also embarrasses me in front of my friends and thinks it's funny. She does this all of the time, and i mean, ALL OF THE TIME. I've tried everything i can think of to get her to stop but nothing's working. Help!

Okay, I was watching a movie on Lifetime. In it a little girl was beaten and then raped by her father. The mother comes in and knocks him over the head with something....but, he makes her feel sorry for him some how. Anyway, she takes her daughter to the hospital and then leaves with him.

That is far from what I would of done. It would have took all my will power not to have killed him...

My friend left home at 15 y/o to live in a womens refuge because her mother is an undiagnosed paranoid schizophreniac. Her mother has been making her life hell the last 10 years and now with the birth of her child her mother wants access to him. Understandably my friend wants her son to have no communication with to its grandmother. What rights does my friend have to keep her child away? Does she have to spend thousands of $$$ to keep her child safe?

So many teens (and younger) are roaming around without adults around. It seems parents think that having a cell phone replaces having and adult around. I wonder if this is a good idea.

His response was basically "I have no reason to contact anyone that hasn't been in my life for 21 yrs". My family was very hurt after thinking that we would meet him after me e-mailing him. Does anyone have any advice that could make him change his heart? I would really like to meet my 1st cousin and get to know him. Thank you for your time!!!!!

My grown children, have not cared for one boyfriend that I had after my marriage broke up, and even stopped speaking to me for a few years because they did not agree. We were doing no harm to them. They watch me like a hawk, and are questioning my own private time, if I am 'busy' sometimes. I feel I have a right to my own private life, and do not involve them in that part, as it clearly is too upsetting for them, and they do not agree with my choices. I am still there for all of them, and still their Mom. Do I not have the rights or am I wrong? I am not sure how to handle this situation. I feel I should be able to see whom I choose to, and not have to answer to them. I respect them in every way. Help?

I am a senior ing high school. My family lives in a very small apartment. I rank 37th in a class of 740 people. I hide the fact where I live from everyone, including my boyfriend of 6 months. I know I shouldnt be ashamed, but everyone in my honor classes are rich and live in beautiful houses. We are immigrants and my parents are in their 50s, working in blue collar job; I am the only daughter. Before, the plan was I go to a local college so we can buy a house. Now my mom says my family cannot afford the taxes, and blah blah, but...my dad made $35k a year. So I want to go to a state university to get away, to live in a dorm; if I stay, we would still live in the small appartment with just 1 bathroom. Honestly, I want to stay, go to the local college, see boyfriend ...but I can't! Why cant my parents just buy a house so I can stay? I cried so many times last month. And i already talk to dem and cry in front of them...I dont want to force them, but I really need them to buy a house
