I am 16 years old I would like to live with my father, I just recently met him for the first time about a year ago. My mother and I are not close, she is a unfit mother and doesn't even put the child support my dad pays to me and my brothers needs. She spends it on ciggs/drugs/and clothes for herself and a kings island ticket for my sister(-half sister and my dads child support isn't toward her, her dad pays for her). I want to know if I have the right to choose which parent I want to live with. Now, my dad doesn't have custody but he pays child support and I feel If I have to put up with all this drama and stress my mom puts on me anymore I will jump out a window or run away. She is horrid, like the wicked step mom in the fairytales. Bleh. Me and my dad are really close already and from spending long periods of time at his house I understand him better then my mom and he will at least listen to me.

I'm 19 years old and I still live with my parents. I have 1 older brother and he's 22 and he also lives with my parents. I feel like he does nothing to help around the house and I feel like my parents put all the pressure on me. I get in trouble if I do something wrong, but if my brother does it, they don't say anything. They always depend on me to do stuff like clean the house, run errands, etc. My brother goes out with his friends everyday, comes home late and just sits on his butt during the day. He has a job but hardly works and I get so disgusted by him in general. Why are my parents always on my back but they're not like that for my brother?

I guess I take my parents' sacrifices for granted. They have sacrificed their dreams for my well-being - my dad abandoned his good job and his homeland, while my mom (she's the one bringing $)works multiple jobs just to pay for my education. I cannot go into details about what led to this, but let's say it was all because we didn't have money. Money is still causing problems for us and my parents argue occassionally because of it...but sometimes they argue because of their clashing personalities. While my mom tends to be tolerant and calm, my dad tends to be...well, rather unreasonable and not so understanding. He blames (and cusses at) mom a lot for lots of things. Anyway, at some point, I began to lose respect for them as parents - primarily Dad - and have never quite abandoned my bad habit of talking back at them and displaying my frequent angers. I know I am already a bad daughter - and I am beginning to hate myself. I am past puberty (I am 20). What...heh, what is wrong with me?

I'm not old enough to just move out of the house, hell, I can't even drive yet! My mom yells at me all the time for everything. You haven't heard swearing until you've heard my mom yelling. My dad goes out nearly every day to drink, either leaving me home alone, or leaving me with my mom to be screamed at. Neither of them admit that they have serious problems and that they need to get help. I went to talk to someone [a psychiatrist or therapist or something] every week, someone that I'm really attatched to, but now my mom isn't sure whether or not I should go to see her anymore. This is because the woman tried to get my mom help with her anger management issues, and mom didn't like it. She also thinks that this woman is too expensive. I have NO ONE to talk to at all. I also suffer from trichotillomania, making me pull out my eyelashes when I get nervous or upset about something. Very hard to explain. Read up on it.
Can someone please give me some advice? I would really appreciate it.

He tried to see me everyday. twice a day if possible. im not a virgin and he is, a week ago he told me ''ive waited 18 yrs and i am ready to give you my virginity'' never heard a guy say that kind of stuff. he CAME while i was hugging him. BAD. we have no communication nothing to talk about, no common friends, and i am starting to lose interest, he is very demanding and always asks me if i miss him more how much i like him. i feel like im in a relationship with a 15 yr old boy in a hurry to have the most serious passionate love in a week. all his friends tell me hes inlove with me. i told him i dnt fall inlove in 3 weeks.

I yell at my parents sooooooo much and sometimes for NO reason. And then I feel SOOO bad later, but I'm just too embarrassed to apologize. (I'm weird like that). I don't know what's wrong with me. I want to stop yelling, but I just can't control myself. Seriously, I don't deserve the things they give me. they do sooo much for me, and I still act like a jerk, but often times, I don't mean to. I REALLY badly want to change, but I just don't know how. What can I do to decrease this anger I have? I think of all the things they do for me everyday, and then I just think about how much I don't deserve it.

I'm 16 right now. I don't know if I'll change in the future, but hopefully I will. I don't wanna be a spoiled, jerk forever.

My fiance is in the hospital, he just had surgery today. He had his apendix removed, and is in a lot of pain. He is supposed to be discharged tomarrow, depending on how well everything goes. We are having some money problems, so we have both been trying to work some extra hours. Well, I want to stay home from work tomarrow to take care of him. I live with him, and I Really want to be the one to take care of him. But he wants me to go to work because we need the money. My work has already said that I can stay home if I need to. My question is, should I stay home or go to work? And if I do stay home, would it be okay if I asked my dad if I could borrow some money, like $150 just so we don't get behind on bills? I have never asked my Dad to help me out financially, it just makes me feel bad. Please give me your advice, I feel stuck.

How do you get parents to stop comparing me to my brother. Honestly, I think that I'm just some big disappointment to them. I always am compared to my brother when he does something and I should do the same. Well news flash, I'M NOT MY FRIKKIN BROTHER AND I NEVER WILL BE. I just can't understand my parents, it's life my life was paved already by my brother. No matter what I do, I can never be as good as my brother. It makes me mad and sad that I just can't live my life the way I want to, I have grown apart from my parents as I can't relate to them, especially my mom. They always condescend me and always nag and yell at me. Whenever I do something, they say I'm doing it wrong. THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DO SOMETHING! I can't even remember a time my mom or dad said they love me, it's been that long. Whenever I do something that gets me hurt, they don't even check to see if I'm alright, they just start yelling. Any advice for me?

I am feeling very depressed. He will only be gone for 45 days..

Hi all,

I just had a sensitive question I was hoping you could provide some advice on. My divorced aunt remarried four years ago to a man that everyone in our family LOVED. He was a great guy, a loving father figure to her kids (my cousins), and all-around a very stabilizing force.

Unfortunately, my aunt and he recently - in May or so - decided to separate. I'm not sure on the details, but I've heard it had something to do with his being depressed- a struggle he's had for a while. Either way, it was generally faultless.

I want to drop him a quick email to him saying "Hi... hope you're doing well" or something light to let him know we're so sorry about what happened. But I'm worried my aunt (or other family members) might think I'm being "disloyal" or inappropriate.

So I was wondering if anyone could help?? Would it be bad to keep in (very occasional) touch with my aunt's ex? What's the proper protocol here??

Thanks SO much for your time in advance!!

I work in Downtown Los Angeles and I see alot of "lost souls". I sometimes think that all of these people started-out as "somebody's baby"... eventually, they became somebody's son, daughter, sister, brother, mother, father, friend.

In two weeks, my Stepson and his Mother and Stepfather will be moving to the East Coast. My daughters (ages 4 and 3) are very close to him. They have always been told that during the week their brother is at school and he comes home on the weekend. That made more sense after one time of saying that he was going to his Mom's house. I just don't know what to say to them in two weeks when he leaves. He won't be back but during school breaks and the first won't be until Christmas. Any suggestions woud be appreciated.
Thanks!

My sister died in 2003 and left her 4 kids to our parents. My father died in 2006 which left the kids with my mother. My mother is irresponsible and is not taking care of them. My sister, my brother- in- law ( my deceased sister's bf) and myself are tring to take custody of my niece and nephew ( the other two are now grown) but we can't because my mother refuses to coperate.Everytime we talk to her its a different story. My mother is homeless and cannot care for them but refuses to even give us the docs we need to do so (birth certificates, ss card, insurance cards ect..). And the court system won't do anything unless we have my mother arrested. We can't go get the docs without proof of custody.. Does anyone have any ideas ????? What can we do. We are in FL and the kids are 12 and 15

Ok I hv an ex that is the father of my son. Complete *** and an alcoholic to boot. i kicked him out after numerous time of drunkness and abusiveness. Yet it is still all my fault according to his family. His life is hell because I took everything away from him. I am the reason I got pregnant, the only one, I guess I impregnanted myself. Things were good for awhile until I filed for child support. Now he is pissed cause he has to pay legally for his son and things just keep getting worse. Today his grandma proceeded to tell me that I was irresponsible for getting pregnant and that I chase him. I only tried to contact him after I found out I was pregnant. So like I said he dose no wrong even though he wrecked my car while drunk and hit a couple of older ladies and left the scene of the accident. Then when he got home he assaulted me. But yet again it is all my fault. Please explain to me why it is never ther persons fault that does the actions?

but it's hard enough to take care of our 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter. And our work hours, are hard to deal with and she's not even home that much. And her drunk mother watches our kids about 14 hours a day. And why does she want another kid, shes like hardly home. She goes to work at 3:00am then she goes to school for 4 hours. Then she always has errands to do which takes about another 2 hours. And by the time she gets home it's about 7:00pm and she leaves at 3:00am but still shes gone and i have a job too. And hardly spends time with them. Why does she want another kid?
