When I (24m) was 19, my mother had my younger sister, Mj, and subsequently returned to drug use, frequently abandoning her. Wanting to give Mj a stable life, I filed a petition and gained full custody when Mj was two. I am legally her father, and she knows me only as Dad. A year ago, I started dating my girlfriend, Ida (24f). She seemed to connect well with Mj, taking her on outings. I prop
I (16M) have four older siblings who are 11+ years older than me. My parents were finished at four kids, my dad got a vasectomy and then six years after it my mom found out she was expecting me. She was 13 weeks when they found out and I was always told if she'd been earlier she would have aborted me. My siblings hated that our parents had another kid. They're all close enough but with me I fe
I (M35) have the oportunity to help my parents who are (64) by buying them a home so they don't have to stress about rents being thru the roof but i told them if i do this for them i don't want my brother (42) to move in with them at any point, to wich my moms response was "why don't you want to help him?" I told her that when i was going thru the lowest point in my life he was doing really good b
I (29M) recently married the love of my life (27F). The wedding was everything we dreamed of… except for one major issue caused by my parents. For context, I am estranged from my older brother, Luke (35M). He bullied me relentlessly throughout his childhood—verbally, emotionally, and even physically. My parents always downplayed it, brushing it off as “normal sibling stuff.” But it wasn’t.
Last year my husband died in a car accident. We were separated for about a year prior but not officially divorced, so I was named the administrator of his estate. I have my own home and I’m financially independent. We had two children together. In late summer of last year I learned that his parents were the beneficiaries and received a boat load of money. Since his death his parents have told
My (37M) stepdad has to pick me up because my (37F) mom is the boss and holds many meetings. I feel he has always disliked me, but yesterday it was severe when he picked me up from the train station. We agreed he would pick me up. The train arrived on time, and I got into his car. I greeted him, but he did not return the greeting and just slurred that I was another man’s mistake. I told hi
My dad moved his girlfriend and her son (5) in with us in October. I (15) guess my dad's girlfriend had hyped her son up to have a brother and he's been clingy with me since they moved in. When I'm home he's following me around and wanting me to play with him. He tries to get inside my room whether I'm there or not. Sometimes I'll get home from a friends house and he's bouncing on my bed and t
I (23f) recently moved in with my boyfriend (23m). We’ve been dating for a couple years now and my parents didn’t know about him. This was because they would not approve for various reasons (different religion/culture/race). Well they found out. Believe it or not but my mom got suspicious and followed me, saw me with him. They gave me absolute hell and I don’t think I cried that much in years.
So I (23F) was born when my dad and mom were in their early/mid-twenties. At that time, my dad was a wild partier that made a ton of bad decisions. So after a few casual hookups, there I was. Mom and Dad weren't exactly close so I ended up doing most of the year with her and summers with him. Around the time I was probably 4-5 years old, Dad found religion and went back to his Baptist roots.
My dad owns a restaurant and intends to leave it to one of his kids. My sister who is 28 was not interested and went to be a hairdresser and my brother who is 29 is in uni. Meanwhile I (I am 25) went to cook school and graduated 2 years ago. I love to cook, I love to experiment, I love working in the restaurant business despite the hours being very long, so I have been designated as the heir mo
My stepmom was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. She's really sick and her and my dad are struggling to keep everything going. They've got four kids together 8 and younger and then there's me (17m). I don't have a good relationship with them. I did until I was 6. Then things went badly. So my mom died when I was only a baby, my dad and stepmom met when I was 2. I really loved her and
I am a 14-year-old female with Asperger's, Anxiety, and insomnia. I recently found out my mom has been recording conversations and then sharing them on her Snapchat for her friends' entertainment. She has been adding text that says things along the lines of “The struggles of a mentally disabled child” or “Don’t you love aspergers?”. I find this annoying and asked her to stop recording me witho
