My stepmom (let’s call her Betty) is horrible, and my step sis (15f) who I’ll call Jill is as well, we went to my dads lake house for the Fourth of July even tho i didn’t want to and wanted to go to my friends bbq. I’m (15 almost 16m).

Anyway it’s the fourth and my parents had a cookout with some neighbors and their kids over. I was told that i have to watch all the kids because im the oldest. I wasn’t btw there was a 17 and a few like 18/19/20ish people there but i guess they can “drink in Europe” so they were partying and im supposed to babysit all these kids i don’t know for free.

Jill has issues and im supposed to be in charge of her, and she’s harder to deal with then the little kids were. If she’s not getting enough attention she pretends to go missing and stuff like that.

So Jill goes and hides under the dock and i didn’t notice because we are the same age and i was watching the little kids in the yard. But no one noticed because the adults were partying, then she starts screaming and pretending she drowning even tho she’s holding onto the dock and one guy pulls her out and is very casual about it. Most of the adults were.

Also i know she was there for awhile because she’s usually all over me but also she was crying about how long it took me to notice she was gone and she “almost died”

But Betty went nuts on me for endangering her, even tho she was in the same yard as me but she was drinking so that’s her excuse. Ok but that’s your kid not mine. Sorry i was more focused on the kids under 10 that i was forced to watch.

Now I’m not allowed out of my room for the rest of the time here because “she could have died” and it proves my point i was only here to be a baby sitter. Sorry I’m not good at raising someone the same age as me, maybe you should try it instead of me Betty.

Sorry if this is dumb I just don’t have a lot of irl people who i can talk to so this is kinda where i come to vent.

im (M15) living with my dad and step mom who ill call sm for word count. and my step sister (f14) who ill call C and it’s been a huge mess for so so many reasons. SM is mean to me but also even to C, and due to that C is super attached to me to the point she’s obsessed with me (im not trying to just use that word lightly like she thinks we are soulmates and I’m not trying to sound arrogant) she has mental disabilities that make her attachements more intense and i tried to be nice to her but she freaks me out. I don’t think i can mention everything in this sub without my post being removed but i can maybe dumb it down in comments if i need too.

I’m supposed to take care of her because “I’m her favorite person” even when both my parents are home. And she’ll lose her mind if i do something as simple as tell her no. And then SM and i got into an argument and she slapped me in the face. I ended up slamming my door and because of that she had my dad remove my door from my bedroom so now i have no privacy and C comes in as she pleases.
I don’t sleep well at all anymore so my grades are bad and i keep getting in trouble and my dad and SM are mad at me so SM solution to punish me is to get rid of my cat. Like rehome her or give her to a shelter.

I found my cat as a kitten in the bushes on a hiking trail, no one bought her or anything so i would say she’s mine. She’s only a year old but she’s everything to me. I freaked out and snuck out to my friends and took her with me and then a trusted person picked her up to take care of her until I’m either 18 or can figure something out.
Now here’s why I’m second guessing myself, my dad has a thing with my friends parents that if he doesn’t give them permission to have me over he’ll call the cops on them so my friends mom called him when she realized i was there, i get it tho i still like her and she can’t risk it but it still sucks.
My dad and SM are mad at me about the cat, they asked where she is and i told them i released her and now SM is mad at me because apparently C really likes MY cat and she kept calling her Cs cat. She’s not, also C killed my beta fish when she was mad at me, and my dad was like “it’s just a fish”. But she does love my cat.

My dad told me that SM was just messing with me to get me to step up and i massively overreacted before talking to him and that he wouldn’t let her rehome my cat. And now i feel so dumb. I miss her and i just want to snuggle with her and idk if im in too deep. She’s safe but they think she’s in the woods and probably got eaten by coyotes. And i lied and idk how to walk that back once im this far in but also in my defense my dad never sides with me ever so i really did think he’d give her away if my step mom said so. If i messed up ill come clean to them, i know im a kid and my brain is not working great right now but i just genuinely need people to tell me if im crazy or not, like please.

AITA for giving away my cat?

My step mom actually is sadistic and genuinely might get off on hurting me. She had my dad remove my door for slamming it one time and now my crazy step sis can come in whenever she wants so i don’t get any sleep and because of that im getting in trouble at school for falling asleep in class. So what’s my punishment for that? She wants to rehome my cat, the only thing in this world keeping me here, for falling asleep in class. I’m actually so upset. I’ll live in a tent with my cat before i let that bitch take her.

I put a TW just in case.

But i feel like i might be having my first ever normal/healthy relationship, it’s just so different from all the ones in past and im scared to mess it up. I’m just so anxious about messing it up but he’s so nice to me. I’ve never had an official boyfriend before and it’s just so new. We arnt dating dating yet but it looks like it could turn into that.

It all just makes me realize how bad some of my past relationships were and that i was taken advantage of by bad people. I always kinda knew that but just never really thought about it.

So I’m not sure if this is the right sub but it’s worth a shot, can lack of sleep make you sick? Like throwing up sick? Sorry if that is tmi but yeah. Also is shortness of breath a thing? I googled it but i feel like everything AI not and id just love a real person to say if they’ve experienced it lt not.

My stepmom is such a horrible person, and I’m so mad at my dad for marrying this women and forcing me into this life. My stepsister is a complete weirdo and too. My step mom found out im gay and has made it her personal mission to be the most homophobic weirdo ever and said probably the most hurtful thing I’ve ever been personally told in my life.

So my stepsister brother ( my moms husbands kid) touched me and that’s why i have to live with my dad a d his demon wife. And i told my dad about it and i didn’t know he told her cuz i asked him not to but…

So she is now trying to imply that i couldn’t have been touched without my permission because im gay and hes a man and i was probably asking for it…yeah wtf. I doubt she’d feel the same if her daughter was touched.

Also fun fact I’m currently 15 and my stepbrother is like 27. But ooo it’s all my fault i guess.

I know blended families work for some people but i feel like you shouldn’t be able to just remarry and start over and forget about the kid you already have. It’s way too common.

So I’ve been having a really rough week with my family, but i thought this was kinda funny in a kind of messed up way. So my parents are divorced and i live with my dad and step mom and sis and that’s a whole other story. Im not sure if the custody stuff was ever legal or if my mom and dad just kinda agreed id live with him,idk. But i have not seen or heard from my mom in over six months maybe more, haven’t live with her in over a year. We have no relationship in my opinion.

And today i get a text from her saying ( i edited out stuff that would be too identifying)

“hey (my name) i just want to be open and honest with you, im not trying to hurt your feelings or attack you but i was really hurt you didn’t contact me for Mother’s Day, i wasn’t going to say anything because i didn’t want to cause issues but it’s been really bothering me and ( step dads name) and i both agreed i should say something. I love you so so much and i know things are really complicated right now but im always going to be your mother and nothing will ever change that. Mimi( grandma) isn’t doing well so id like you to write her a poem and have it ready but sunday, we are all going to get together for brunch. This might be our last one with her so please let’s make it civil. (Step brother) will be there and I would just love it if the two of you wouldn’t make this uncomfortable for Mimi. (Half siblings names) miss you and I know things are hard right now and that you are struggling but I love you so much baby and i promise things are going to get better. Just give me some time okay? Love you so much
-mama ❤️”

Now that might sound sweet but here is the backstory. She gave me up for her new family. I have to live with my dad and his new family because she had a baby and had a toddler and her stepson is autistic and requires a lot of care and they just couldn’t handle me being there. Was i a bad kid? Nope, my stepson brother was being creepy to me and they chose him over me. So i have to live with my awful dad and his awful family because i don’t want to share a room with a creepy grown man, buttttt shes hurt i didn’t contact her for Mother’s Day. Again we have had zero contact for at least six months, not a text or email or anything.

My stepbrother who touched me tried to get in contact with me today, he’s not supposed to talk to me. It just brought back so many bad memories and makes me feel so sick. I feel like i can physically feel him touching me, like a ghost. Why can’t he just leave me tf alone? It bothers me so much that he’s just living his life carefree and I’m miserable. Theres no justice, that’s a bs fairytale they tell you about. Good things happen to bad people all the time and i feel like they just get away with it.

Hi this might be a dumb question but I’ve never been on a plane before but I’m 15 and do i need my parents permission to travel? Like if I get a ticket myself do they care? I have an ID and I’m not trying to leave the country.

New to this sub but I’m kinda desperate, if anyone has any tips on how to get to sleep I’d love them. Anything besides drugs i have to get from a doctor because my dad wouldn’t let me, but over the counter or natural stuff would be so helpful.

Ok idk how to phrase this but to the guys who kinda struggled with their sexuality what was the point for you when you said, ok yeah im gay. And what age? Im gay and semi out but i think my family thinks it’s a phase…but yeahhh no.

My stepsister is really weird and creepy and we e been having a lot of issues, she pounds on my door and screams and stuff when she wants to hang out and I’d get in so much trouble if i didnt open the door. Anyways i got in trouble for slamming my door after getting mad and my dad took my door off and now she just comes in and won’t leave me alone. I can’t go to my moms cuz she doesn’t want me and i don’t have family i can stay with. Is there a way for me to legally get out, can I like sign myself up for foster care? I’m 15 and location: Massachusetts USA.
