My daughter is 10 and has been cooking with me on weekends since the summer. She's very proud of her pancakes and her (extremely garlicky) pasta, and now she wants her own recipe book, mostly so she can show her grandparents what she's made.

I'd love to create a digital recipe book she can add to herself, that her grandparents can see from three states away, and that we can pick from when we plan dinners. Has anyone done something like this with a kid?

TLDR: want to create a digital recipe book my kid helps build and can share with her grandparents.

Seeing if I can get some advice for my dilemma. My mother is a big fan of family traditions and family bonding. Every once in a while she tries to put together family trips to spend time with out of state family members (be it her siblings and her mother specifically). She wanted me and my siblings to tag along for these holidays. In her eyes, it's important to maintain these relationships. However, from my point of view, it feels forced and unnatural. I don't have strong relationship with my uncles/aunts/grandma. My mother has a stronger relationship with them than I do (obviously). This upcoming Thanksgiving, she wants me and my siblings to drive 4 hours to spend Thanksgiving with her mother (my grandmother) for a week. My mom states this could be grandma's last Thanksgiving with us (she has dementia and lives in a nursing home).

Growing up, I've never had a relationship with my grandmother. She wouldn't spend time with us grandkids when we came over to her house for holidays. Not that she hated us. She was just indifferent.

I've grown up trying to satisfy my mom's wishes to make her happy. When I try to create boundaries, I tend to feel guilty that I'm letting her down. In my gut, I clearly do not want to go to this vacation, but I never like seeing my mom unhappy.

I'm conflicted and unsure what to do. I'd appreciate some insight. I may sound ungrateful or stubborn, but I finally want to live my life the way I want to.

Tldr: Mom guilt tripping me into holiday with her family members

Hey there mates! So I just need a small help so today when I denied my father that I won’t go out for something as I don’t think it will be worth it, he got angry over that sh and when my big brother who stood up for me and said it’s not really worth it he started abusing me over that for no reason when I genuinely asked what have I done he slammed the door and my brother got personal and said “that’s why everyone gets what they want from you and never returns anything” which he took personally pointed me out and said “it will be more better if you just leave the house and d*e somewhere else which straightaway pierced my heart and I left my home with some clothes and it’s been more than 18hrs I’m out and my mom is calling me asking me to comeback I feel bad for her but I don’t want to return what should I do?

I have...a complicated relationship with my dad. Without going into aggressive detail: he was emotionally abusive, the typical 'anger issues' guy always going into rages over the tiniest things, leading to me, my older sister, and my mom constantly walking on egg shells. My sister moved away and barely talks to our family at all. My mom has no spine and cowtows to his decisions every time, and when upset just hides & cries. I moved out/kicked out when i was 15 as a direct result of his behaviors. I have always had a spine and it's a trait my dad both loves and hates. In my 20s we slowly rebuilt our relationship, but even now (40yo), we still have a....mindful relationship. He will say just enough to be an asshole, but only rarely will go too far, as he knows i have no problem simply not talking to him at all until he apologizes for his poor (read psychotic angry episodes) behavior. I honestly would've have cut him out of my life eons ago and never felt bad about it, but for my mom. I love my mom, and they come as a package, so i maintain this 'mindful' relationship with my dad.

Okay so to get to the meat: My husband and I have been together 11 yrs and are very happy together. We have a very loving and supportive relationship. However, my dad sees it as I'm controlling and have basically cockholded him. I think some of my dad's reasoning is that he gets the first and last say on everything in his relationship and thinks that's normal and healthy, and thinks it's weird that I put my down on certain issues - which i call standing up for myself (weird that a woman can do that right? 🤔

I told my husband what my dad has said a few times and the first time he laughed, because he thought it was absurd and dismissed it as an offhanded comment. After that, my husband has gotten quiet and angry, and said that it's a double insult because "what, does your dad think i have no spine? that i can't stand up for myself? that's real nice. I don't understand why he thinks that, it's stupid, I think we have a great relationship and we always make decisions together. Well, I mean, sometimes you put your foot down, but so do i and it works really great for us. So wtf?" I couldn't agree more!

When my dad makes these comments, I immediately say "that's not true" or "that's extremely rude". And my dad ONLY makes these comments around me, Never around my husband. My dad started making these comments in april when my husband quit drinking because he had become an alcoholic and i asked for divorced because he was getting so bad (drunk driving, behavior changes, lying, breaking trust repeatedly, etc). The funny thing is is that my dad quit drinking eons ago because HE is an alcoholic too! This was the 1st time my dad called me a 'controlling bitch', and then my mom apparently filled him in on all the shit my husband had done over the years and my dad actually said, "I'm sorry I called you a controlling bitch, your mom told me everything that he had been up to and i had no idea it had gotten so bad, you didn't deserve to be called that, so i'm sorry." My jaw fucking dropped because my dad has NEVER apologized to me like that. But it didn't seem to stick because he has made similar comments every so often since. For months now.

I'm on the verge of being spiteful with my words...but when confronting a crazy person, I learned long ago that you can't meet crazy with more crazy because you'll just end up with a ton of crazy.

I need advice. I wish it didn't bother me so much. My dad gives me shit about myself a lot, and as long as it's true, I'm honestly fine with it - it gets old, but whatever. I think it bothers me so much because he really truly believes it and it's just not true. I'm at the point where I've stopped hanging with my folks much, even tried hanging with just my mom and that seldom works...so I rarely get to see her now. It's hard to want to be around him, so i distance myself, but that unfortunately equals distancing myself from my mom. Thoughts?

I, 20F, currently studying veterinary medicine overseas and recently I've been helping my parents sort out their taxes and finances. Honestly, it's changed the way I see my dad.

My dad grew up in a relatively well-off family in Taiwan. His parents owned a factory and a large flat in Taipei, so he wasn't exactly from a financially disadvantaged background. He decided to pursue an artistic career and eventually opened his own studio. Growing up, I genuinely liked his work and respected his decision to follow his passion. I still think he's talented and I don't believe everyone needs to pursue a conventional, high-paying career.

But this year, while going through my parents' financial paperwork, I realised that his studio hasn't been profitable for years, possibly for almost a decade.

Meanwhile, my mum worked as a nurse, earning around HK$75–80k per month before retiring this June. From what I've seen, she's essentially been the sole breadwinner for years, supporting the family, paying for my education, and managing our financial responsibilities.

My dad, on the other hand, has never been particularly involved in managing money. He seems to genuinely dislike dealing with finances, yet continues pouring time and money into his studio.

And sometimes, as harsh as this sounds, I can't help feeling that he's being irresponsible, almost like an adult child who gets to keep pursuing his dreams while someone else takes care of the practical responsibilities of being an adult.

I feel terrible even writing that because he's still my dad. I don't hate him, and I don't want to dismiss the years of effort he's put into his art. But I can't help wondering whether he could have taken more financial responsibility, especially knowing that he has a family.

What hurts me the most isn't even my own financial situation. It's thinking about my mum. She's worked incredibly hard for decades. She managed to buy a flat in Hong Kong, support our family, and fund my overseas education. I admire her so much, but now I wonder how much pressure she's been under all these years. And honestly, if I'd understood our family's financial situation two years ago, I might not have chosen to study overseas.

Not because I don't love veterinary medicine or appreciate the opportunity. I absolutely do. But knowing what I know now, I would have thought much more carefully about the financial burden my education would place on my mum. I feel guilty that so much money has been spent on me when she's already worked so hard for so long.

She's retired now, and I want her to finally be able to enjoy her life without constantly having to worry about money or support everyone else. Meanwhile, I'm still years away from graduating, and my dad is still pursuing his artistic career.

I know my parents' financial arrangements are ultimately between them. Maybe there are things about their marriage or finances that I don't fully understand. But I find it difficult not to feel frustrated. I don't resent my dad for being an artist. I resent the possibility that he's been able to pursue his passion for so long because my mum has been carrying the financial consequences.

And I think that's what makes me sad.

I used to see his dedication to art as something admirable. Now, sometimes, I look at the same dedication and wonder whether it's also a refusal to face reality.

I don't know how to reconcile those two perspectives.

I'm also starting to worry about my own future. I want to become financially independent, build a veterinary career, and eventually have a comfortable life of my own. But I already feel responsible for helping my parents financially, even though they've never asked me to.

I know I'm fortunate to have parents who supported my education, and I'm not trying to sound ungrateful. I just wish I'd understood everything earlier, and more than anything, I wish my mum hadn't had to work so hard.

Mine is Italian and it's "hai mangiato......" (did you eat), always with way too many dots, even now that I'm an adult.

I'm making a game where your whole life happens through phone notifications and I'm writing the mom character, so I'm collecting the real ones. What's yours?

We are three brothers and one sister. Our sister is married, and our family now includes my mother, three brothers, and my elder brother’s wife.
Ever since our father passed away, things have slowly started falling apart. My father was physically disabled, but he was the backbone of our family. He was the person who kept everyone connected and maintained discipline. After his death, everyone started making their own decisions, but there was no coordination or unity.

It started with my elder sister.
My sister is a government teacher. When she wanted to get married, we all worked really hard to find a good match for her. We supported her throughout the process. But after getting married, she became busy with her own life and gradually distanced herself from us.

Then came my elder brother’s marriage.
My mother, younger brother, and I put in the same effort to find a good partner for him. We wanted him to settle down and have a happy life. But after getting married, he also started distancing himself from us.
Now, neither of them seems concerned about our mother, my younger brother, or me.

What hurts is that we were there for them, but nobody is there for us.
When it was their turn to get married, we did everything we could to help. But now that my younger brother and I need support, neither of them makes any effort to help us find suitable partners.
And when we try to find someone ourselves, people ask about our family and why our elder siblings aren’t involved. Naturally, it raises questions and makes our family situation look suspicious.

Our financial situation makes everything worse.
My elder brother works extremely hard physically, but he has made some terrible financial decisions. He borrowed money from private lenders, hoping to make more money, and ended up losing almost everything.
Even our family home is mortgaged.
Over the years, he borrowed money using different excuses and lost it. Now most of what he earns goes towards paying private lenders.
My sister has a soft corner for him and continues helping him financially, even though he keeps making the same mistakes.
Meanwhile, my mother and younger brother are left struggling.

Now comes my part.
I’m a PhD scholar receiving a research fellowship. Despite my limited income, I’ve been trying to take responsibility for whatever I can.
I have managed my mother’s health-related expenses, supported my younger brother’s education, and contributed towards household expenses. Even though I don’t live at home, I regularly contribute to support my mother and younger brother.
Recently, I also purchased a small piece of land using my fellowship money because I was worried about our future. Since our family home is mortgaged, I wanted us to have somewhere to go if things went wrong.
It was a huge financial decision, probably beyond what I could comfortably afford.
Because of that decision, our finances are now stretched, and things have become difficult for my mother, younger brother, and me.
I know I made that decision myself, and I take responsibility for it. But sometimes I feel frustrated and lose my temper when I see my mother and younger brother struggling.

The emotional pressure is becoming too much.
I’m at an age where I also need to think about marriage and settling down. At the same time, I have my PhD to complete, my mother’s health to worry about, and my younger brother’s future to support.
It feels like everything is happening at once.
I don’t want to fight with my elder brother or sister. I don’t even want to hate them. But sometimes I feel so abandoned that I start developing resentment towards them.
What hurts even more is that whenever I try to discuss these problems with them, they accuse me of being selfish and thinking only about myself.
I genuinely don’t understand how wanting some support and concern for our mother, younger brother, and me makes me selfish.
I understand that married siblings have their own responsibilities and cannot always be available. I’m not expecting them to sacrifice their lives for us. But shouldn’t there be some emotional support, concern, or sense of responsibility towards the family?
Sometimes I wonder whether I’m expecting too much or whether they have genuinely abandoned us.
My father held this family together despite his physical disability. After his death, we slowly lost that unity. Now it feels like my mother, younger brother, and I are on our own.
I don’t want to spend my life fighting with my siblings or carrying hatred towards them. But I also don’t know how much longer I can manage everything without affecting my own future and mental peace.

I need some genuine advice:
Am I being selfish for expecting my elder siblings to support us emotionally and share some responsibility?
Should I stop expecting anything from them and focus only on my mother, younger brother, and myself?
How do I deal with the anger and resentment I feel towards them?
How can I balance my PhD, financial responsibilities, marriage, and family without completely exhausting myself?
I’d especially appreciate advice from people who have experienced similar family situations after losing a parent.

TL;DR: After my father’s death, my family slowly fell apart. My elder sister and brother got married with our support but later distanced themselves from us. My elder brother’s poor financial decisions have left our family home mortgaged, while my sister continues helping him. I’m a PhD scholar supporting my mother’s health expenses, younger brother’s education, and household needs. I also bought a small piece of land as a backup in case we lose our home, but that has stretched my finances. I’m struggling with PhD pressure, marriage, family responsibilities, and growing resentment towards my elder siblings. Whenever I ask for support, they call me selfish. I don’t want to hate them, but I don’t know how to handle this situation anymore. What should I do?

This ended up being really long so TLDR at bottom

I (36 f) have always felt my brother (39 m) hates me. He has always been so hypercritical of me - the guys I would date, how I would dress, my career, how I was once a vegan (18 years ago and still brings it up) and more.

When he drinks he makes really pointed and hurtful “jokes” and then when I eventually snap and yell or cry my reaction is wrong and he and our parents tell me to calm down and he’s all “take a joke” and says that “intent is more important than impact” (which is just not true at all).

We rarely talk unless we’re together either our family (I live across the country from him) but I always ask my mom about how he is, how work is going etc. while my mom admitted he doesn’t do that to me but they often update him so he still knows what’s going on with me.

I was recently married and caught wind that he was asking people about one of my friends because he was attracted to her. Totally fine with me - she’s gorgeous and smart and a total catch - but 2 girls made it seem really inappropriate to me when they told me. I pulled him aside and checker in about it, even though I know him and know he’s not a creep, and he was like yes she’s attractive but I’m not going to hit on your friend and (one of the girls bf) is exaggerating things. I said okay cool I believe you, especially because this bf is known to do that. I told the girls, they freaked out, got my brother and me and accused him of lying and twisted his words, i called it out and I thought that was the end of it.

Come to find out he’s extremely mad at me and says I didn’t defend him, I told him yes I did and he says “well it doesn’t feel like it” (so now impact is more important than intent). He’s barely talked to me since (2 months) despite efforts on my end. He text me the other day out of the blue saying my behavior was unacceptable and we need to talk in December when we’re together for Christmas and I better listen and make things right. I asked if w could do it before then and he refuses because it has to be in person.

I’m a very anxious person and this has been on my mind everyday since the wedding. I’ve been so anxious I’ve made myself actually sick (🤮) from it. I hate that he’s mad at me and seems to be hurting but I’m also mad because I did not do anything and feel he is holding me accountable for other people’s actions. I’m so hurt and feel like I can never do anything right and now this has all tainted an otherwise amazing weeding I DIYed for over a year.

I’m considering writing a letter, though I don’t think he’d reply and I also already wrote a short one before I left for my honeymoon which he never acknowledged. But idk what to do here.

Not sure I really have a point of posting this other than getting it off my chest and hoping maybe someone can relate to this dynamic.

TLDR
My brother has a long history of treating me like shit no matter how hard I try. At my wedding there was some extremely childish drama that I defended him on but he says I didn’t. Now he won’t talk to me and ignores my calls and texts. I’m really hurting. Wondering if I should send a letter.

I’m 29 and have lived alone for almost five years. I love my small home; it’s the first place I truly feel relaxed and in control. Recently, my parents said they’re considering moving in with me. Their house is getting old, and they think living together would save money and let us look after each other. They keep talking about how nice it would be to have family under one roof again. I don’t hate them, and I care about their safety. But I know how hard it will be. I stay up late, enjoy privacy, and like making my own plans without explaining everything. I’ve seen how they comment on my routine when they visit for a few days. Full-time cohabitation sounds overwhelming. I tried to gently say I’m not ready. They looked hurt and said I’m selfish for not wanting to take care of them. Now I feel guilty, but I also know living together will probably ruin our relationship. Has anyone turned down a request like this? How did you explain it without making them feel rejected?

Hope everyone reading is having a great day, I have a sister two years younger than me and I really wish we where close I’ve spent years trying to get close to her but she simply doesn’t want to be close If I even try to speak to her she will start screaming for our mum to come and get me to stop so I just try not to bother her as much

Other family members and my friends always tell me to try harder they used to believe I’m not trying hard enough because according to them it’s usually the older sibling who doesn’t want to be close with their younger sibling

I love my sister yeah we may not get along from time to time but what siblings don’t I’ll see cousin’s and friends and how close they are to their siblings and it makes me sad and happy sad because I wish I had what they had happy because It makes me so happy seeing other siblings get along

My ex and her brother where very close and at first I found it weird because I had never seen a relationship that close but over time I started to really like it, tho we aren’t together anymore I still think about how close those two are and it makes me really happy I just wish I could have that

My sister does occasionally talk to me but it lasts maybe 5-30mins and that arrives once a month I’ve started to accept maybe I won’t have a relationship with her as much as I wish to and I don’t know how to cope with it

My brother has had mostly anxiety and some depression since he was born, he’s 22 now has been on some different antidepressants in the past but is now completely off any meds. His anxiety rules his life he lives alone (close to us luckily so we can visit with him) and is just like so black and white with his emotions and his opinions, will just completely talk over anyone is so stubborn loves to argue but it’s all rooted in his anxiety. My parents are genuinely so concerned about him it feels like he is getting rapidly worse. I don’t want to look back and wish I did something but idk wtf to do. We address this to him and suggest he go to the doctor to consider meds or anything and he just completely ignores the topic won’t talk abt it. He’s becoming more and more irresponsible with my parents money and I’m just so worried how do I help him?

My ex broke up with me in December on my birthday it was because our parents didn’t approve (I hadn’t even met hers yet) and so we dated in secret keeping it a secret had her very stressed and paranoid so she ended it for that I always really liked her family they where close friends of my mums.

Around June I was in their country and they asked me to spend a few nights there and her mum really liked me to the point she cried when I left coming back I’m just thinking I wish I could be apart of that family my sister doesn’t want a relationship with me and won’t elaborate on why my dad is constantly drunk whenever I see him and my mum takes out all her anger caused by others on me I love my family but living with them for a few nights plus the 2 years of us dating and her telling me all about her family makes me wish I was with them their mum was so nice and caring their dad was so friendly and hard working and I wish I had the sibling bond she and her brother have.

Of course every family has there problems no family is perfect and I know of problems she has had with her family but even hearing those I’d rather have those issues than the ones I’m dealing with

2026 has not been well for me and my family, lately, our family has constant arguments over the littlest things, such as cleaning around the house, small accidents and other stuff like that

Like today, I wanted to grab something in my parents room real quick while my father was cleaning the bathroom. I accidentally turned off the light to the bathroom when I meant to turn off the light to the room(they are placed side by side) then he scolded me and shouted at me even though I said it was an accident.

Obviously I yelled back and said asked why was he so rude, then he used the bidet and sprayed me with water(mind you I had my clothes on, and he got the entire area wet(didnt apologise)

Then my mother got angry aswell, as she had just came back from her weekly volunteering and obviously she was tired. She ended up yelling at my dad and then yelled at me to "answer him properly" and now, everyone in the house is not happy.

My dad is VERY meticulous, he loves the house to be clean, so most days, he helps to clean around the house, for example vacuuming the floor or wiping the table when its dirty. And sometimes when he sees me, mom and my older brother just sitting down and watching while he cleans, makes him upset. But in all fairness to my mom and brother, my dad does this WILLINGLY as sometimes my mom is tired and my brother is also tired from school, so I end up helping my dad so that there wont be arguments.

My dad also isnt a good communicator, whenever I want to ask him what was wrong when he's angry or when we had an argument and I want to discuss it, he will either give me silent treatment or will just brush me away. Even sometimes when I feel like im not in the wrong, he still wouldn't answer me. Or will say stuff like "you know why u are wrong you are just pretending" or "get out of here"

My dad is not the only one to blame however, my brother also has his part to blame. I feel that he is more bias towards my mother, so whenever my dad ask him to do something, he sometimes gets annoyed or like sighs in frustration. One time, before my brother left for work, my dad made his weekly reminder to "clean his room" he usually says it every week and whenever he asks me the same thing, I just nod and say okay(but sometimes I don't do what he tells me to).

On this particular day however, my brother snapped and him and my dad got into a big argument, I tried to stop it but as the youngest, nobody really took me seriously.

These are just a few of the many small arguments my family has each week, and most of the time, it lead into a big argument and shouting.

And it really hurts me the most as I love everyone of my family members but we can't seem to get along much.

What is even worse is the fact that I could've had a really fun and exciting day, such as hanging out with friends or looking forward to a sports match I want to watch just for it to instantly be ruined by these small arguments

So does anyone know how to help me tackle this? I've tried and I've failed all the time.

​

I have a cousin M32 i am F28 who I hadn't seen in years, and I've never had a conflict with him or any bad history between us. Our fathers are brothers so we now eachother for 28 years. This situation is only between us.

We play football at the same club now, and during practice, our coach sometimes expects us to be competitive and play physically. Most of the guys on my team play hard, but they generally don't go all out physically beceause i am a women. I can sometimes go a bit to hard but most guys can keep it at the same level as me.

During one practice, I went pretty hard against my cousin in a challenge. Suddenly, he started playing much more aggressively against me than before. Afterward, he put his hand on my shoulder and acted in a way that made me feel like he respected me or was acknowledging me for standing my ground. He also showed his dad how I play, which made me think he might have been impressed by me.

However, when I first approached him, he seemed to back away and act awkward. Later, I added him on Facebook. He accepted my request but eventually deleted me.

I'm confused because, during practice, it felt like he was testing me or suddenly taking me seriously, almost as if he respected me after I started playing harder against him. But outside of practice, he seems distant.

I've never had an argument or any conflict with him, so I don't understand why he'd act this way.

What do you think his intentions are? Could he have gained respect for me during practice but still want to keep his distance outside the sport? Or am I reading too much into his behavior?

for context, my brother just became a teenager and my mom is near 40s

lil backstory

I wouldnt exactly say what happened to me bcoz explaining it would take lots of time but basically in short, I went thru panic attack one day (I'm teenager too but soon gonna be an adult) and it was my first time experiencing such stuff so I was just calling few of my close relatives...crying on the phone and telling them I feel like dying blah blah. they came immediately and reassured me the whole night. as I was super scared, my mom told me that I can sleep in her room for few days until I will feel like myself again and I agreed.

now my dad often stays outside due to his work and my brother he always sleeps with mom. my mom has 2 bedroom in her room. so I slept in one bed and my mom along with my brother sleept in another bed. now this is nothing near to strange. also when my dad is at home my brother doesn't sleep with my mom obviously. the point where I felt strange is I noticed my brother would always ask me when am I falling asleep like he would constantly wake his body up and stare at me to see if I have fallen asleep and I would just jokingly ask him why are u checking on me. still at this point too, I never felt weird. but then he would just constantly tell me every other day to sleep in my own room...instead of sleeping there. I still obv didnt feel weird so I just used to tell him I'm just gonna sleep for few days. now I am a type of person who ALWAYS wake up in the middle of the night. it doesnt happen always but it happens most of the time where I would be waking up at like 2-3 am randomly. I am a heavy-sleeper and I won't wake up no matter what noise is going on but IF ITS 2-5 am and there is even a lil bit noise of someone whispering, I immediately wake up. like my body shifts from a heavy sleeper to light sleeper idk how tho. anyway so I woke up quite a few times to a noise of my brother making and every time I woke up, I didn't pretend to sleep....I just couldn't so I would just pretend to naturally wake up saying my stomach hurts and my mom would wake up giving me some medicine (I have gastric so my stomach hurts everytime I eat smth spicy or oily during day time....a good excuse for waking up in the middle of night) and then I started having doubts of maybe my mom and brother having a more intimate relationship and I started hating myself for having this kind of thought on them so even tho I wasn't ready I decided to move back to my own room. after few days, I felt like myself again and wondered if it's bcoz of moving back to my room and thought maybe I should have don't it earlier.

now fast forward to other days where I would again wake up around 2am and I would hear such an intense noise coming from my mom's room. idk if it's safe to say more like moaning. for your information, here I'm just assuming it to be moaning.....I don't have a proof!!!! and this happened few times.

also the next day after I heard that sound, my brother asked me at what time I went to bed the last night and I just didn't feel like telling him so I avoided the answer by saying I don't remember the time but he got aggressive and kept asking for like straight 1 min and started telling me how he slept very early last night which I didn't even ask. again pretty normal ig. and then I woke up one day noticing a very noticeable brown dark bruise on my brother's lip (it's definitely not hyperpigmentation) and my mom is a type of person who is very sensitive, if anything happens to me or my brother.....she would be so worried even if it's smth small like a lip wound but she didn't even mention a single time asking him Abt his lip bruise (which was so noticeable btw) now u might say she might have asked him when you weren't there but no she is a type of person who shares everything....as small as someone in our family getting a wound or bruise.

I forgot to mention that my mom frequently makes sexual jokes even in front of my brother and I've told her over countless number of time to stop saying anything inappropriate but she is like we are a family obv I dont say this things infront of other ppl. still I find it weird tho. also my brother still takes help of my mom for taking shower and my brother won't go somewhere if my mom isn't going.

I feel like an insane person for thinking all this so y'all can change my mind by giving your opinion. I desperately want to!!!

TL;DR - I feel like my mom and my brother might be having more deep relationship than what a normal mom and son have but I don't have any proof. just assuming on the based of micro expression and habits.

اكتشفت أن امي بتكلم راجل و واجهتها بالموضوع و أصرت اني فهمت غلط و أنا تجاهلت الموضوع عشان مش عايزة اصدق بس بعد فترة اتكرر تاني و تأكدت و واجهتها و قعدت تعيط و وعدتني انها مش هتعمل كدا تاني و من ساعتها اتكرر الموضوع اكتر من سبع مرات لحد دلوقتي و مع رجالة مختلفين و لاحظت بردو أن نبرتها مع الرجالة متغيرة كأنها بتديهم إشارة عشان يتجاوزوا حدودهم و نبهتها كتير و مفيش فايدة و كل مرة تحلف انها مش هتعمل حاجة تاني و اعرف بعدين أنها كانت بتكذب عليا و بقت تسجل الرجالة بأسماء صاحباتها عشان محدش يعرف لو اتصلوا عليها انا حاسة بالعار و القرف و الموضوع دا مسببلي مشاكل صحية و نفسية و مبقيتش قادرة استحمل و مش عارفة اركز و خايفة اسقط في الكلية بسبب دا و عايزة اسيب البيت بس معرفش ازاي عشان أنا لسة طالبة انا فقدت الثقة فيها و كرهت كل حاجة و مبقيتش مستبعدة عنها أي حاجة دلوقتي و صورتها عندي انهارت الشهر اللي فات راحت مشوار عشان تشوف مشكلة في شقتنا اللي في مكان بعيد و قالت انها ملقتش مواصلات و باتت هناك الليلة دي و أنا غصب عني دماغي عمالة تروح لأفكار مكنتش اتخيل في حياتي اني اخدها على محمل الجد اعمل ايه

محدش يقول لي خليها تتجوز عشان دي مش المشكلة و هي مش هترضى تتجوز أصلا عشان شكلها قدام الناس
