I will start off by saying that I am an only child and I have lived with my mother by ourselves since I was a baby. I will be graduating soon, and I have not spent much time with my mom lately. I feel incredibly guilty about it, because she is 63, retired, and always home alone, so I feel like I need to be around her. Even when I am home, though we don't do much, and she mainly sits on her computer.

I have always felt guilty about anything involving my mom, like she has instilled a really strong guilty bone in me. At this point in my life I am becoming extremely independent and wanting to do my own thing. I am tired of the extreme amounts of pressure she puts on me for school, when I am already a great student. I have entered a serious relationship, which has been the largest problem. She likes my boyfriend a lot, but I am never home (mainly because we have a landlord issue and no one besides us is supposed to be on the property at the moment).. I wish she could realize that I am happy with how my life is right now, and I have my own plans I am making.

Just today I mentioned how I was going out with him again tonight and she practically had a fit saying that she is "tired of me never being home", I normally just hang my head down and take it, but this time on my boyfriend's advice I stood up to her. She did the thing she always does and says "Well fine I will start focusing on myself since you don't want a part in this with me."

My 16 year old wants to go on a day trip with her guy friend to the coast which is about 3-4 hours away. They would be back that night. Would you let your child do this? The driver is 17 years old and I know him well, he's a good kid

When I was 3 my parents divorced, and my mother got full custody. I lived with her most of my life as an only child, and I liked it that way. I never wanted nor asked for another sibling. It was the last thing I ever wanted. When I was about 10 my step mother who I barely knew got pregnant with a baby boy. I went to visit my dad and my step mom for his birth, it was nothing special to me. I only ever visited my dad once in a while and when I did I never really thought much of my little half brother as I was young myself. I'm now sixteen and recently moved in with my dad to gain a better education because of the schools in the location. My father is in the process of a divorce with my soon to be ex step mom, so she doesn't live with us, and my half sibling is only here sometimes. But whenever he is here I just see him as a burden. I can not get past the fact that I do not see him as a brother and don't think I ever will. He is a pest, and i hate that he is even the slightest bit related to me. I just want someone to relate to what I'm feeling, I can't be the only one out there? I feel guilty for almost hating something that sort of shares relation to me, but no matter how hard I try I just can't shake it. I do not love my half brother. why can't anyone understand that and accept it? I did not grow up with him, and we don't even share a full gene pool. So how can i have a connection with him? Does anyone understand what I'm going through?

I am a female first of all. I have always been attracted to women and their beautiful bodies. Often when I hang out with girls I always think about what it would be like to kiss them and the thought excited me. I've only ever dated men and I am attracted to them for sure! I've always just told myself that I just have an appreciation for the female body and left it at that, but recently my friend brought up that I seem like I'm interested in women more than usual straight girls are. I'm always caught staring at their asses with lustful thinking. I just love the woman body, but never really thought I could connect emotionally with most women because they can be high drama. I'm sure there are the exceptions out there, just like with men because their species has flaws as well. I guess ever since my friend brought that up I have been questioning myself. Also, I have made out with a girl once and have had a few girl crushes so to speak. I did enjoy the feeling of the kiss, although I did not like the actual kiss itself because she was a bad kisser lol! Just would like some opinions please?

Okay, so I found someone who I have been spending a lot of time with recently who is basically perfect for me based off of the way we interact. I've had a lot of experience with dating so I know what I look for and need in a guy. I was automatically attracted to him when my friend introduced us, but we have so much emotionally and personality wise in common I can't tell if he would be better as a friend or a partner. We have very compatible zodiac signs. I really enjoy spending time with this person and I love how much we have in common and how we react together. But, I just don't know after spending more time with him if I really feel romantically about him. Could it be something that grows over time? It's almost like he's too perfect and it's setting me off. Because I know we would be a great couple, have lots of adventures together, always get along and such. It's almost the sort of thing where I want to be with him because he's extremely practical, right for me, and incredibly romantic and sweet. But, I'm having a hard time now being that romantically attracted to him? I hope I'm not confusing anyone who reads this. I feel like if I don't go for him then I'm missing out on someone who I may never find again, but if I go for him and I continue to not gain romantic feelings for him it may break his heart in the long run because I could only be friends. Advice anyone? Thank you!

We took our dogs to the groomers today, and my dog has a diarrea issue so we told her to really make sure and clean his behind well. (He is a yorkie, Maltese, shi-tzu cross)

Anyway, he normally never has his "lipstick" showing. Ever. He's neutered and just doesn't have it out in any situation. After we brought him back from the groomers today it hasn't been able to go back in and stay in without popping out again and I'm worried this is totally unlike him!

Any advice would be awesome!

About four months ago I started a secret relationship with a guy at my church. About a month later I told him it wasn't working out because we didn't see each other enough. Two weeks after that the church went on a trip to a concert and everyone took the church bus. He sat behind me and kept flirting with me and bothering me. I fell under his flirting spell and started liking him all over again. We sat together at the concert and on the way back ate at a restaurant together. We didn't start dating again, but we were talking about it.

About a week after this happened he texts me telling me he needs to tell me something. He tells me that he met another girl a couple days ago and is starting to like her. He told me that he thinks we should see other people. I asked him if he even still liked me, and he said yes, but not as much as her. He told me if it didn't work out between him and her that we could get back together. I have basically disliked him ever since that. His name in my phone is Jackass. He texted me a few times after that but I remained cold. Eventually we stopped talking altogether. Do I have the right to still be mad? I sometimes give him evil glares at church..That's bad, I know. And childish, but he really hurt me. I couldn't like him ever again if I tried. I currently like a great and kind guy! He's so sweet.

So any input would be greatly appreciated!

SORRY ABOUT THE REPOST, but no one is answering any of my questions! The first question I asked was left unanswered and now so is this one!
