| a year ago i stole about 100 bucks worth of gold coins form my mother in order to cover some daily expenses and the it spun out of control. now i need to put back about 600 bucks but im leaving for another country and am not sure whether shell find out by the time i come back. i dont want her to find out not because ill be in trouble but because i dont want her heart to break. she already forgave me once for the same coins. point is i know there is absolutely no excuse for committing such a crime against the closest family member. and it is literally driving me crazy, the guilt got so bad that i feel very anxious and numb towards every aspect of my life. i cant stop judging myself. please help me, i never meant to steal it, i meant to borrow it and put it back, but then the amount got too high. i hope she wont find out within three months, so i can put it back when i come back for holiday. | 982010 | ||||||

| When I was a boy, my dad physically, sexually, and emotionally abused me. It was about 15 years of pure hell. I hate him. Now that I am a man, I can't tell who I hate more...him...or myself for never telling anyone. This post is the first time I've every said anything about it. | 1232010 | ||||||

| I love my dad. I caught him watching porn when I was little, and regularly up until now. I've found hidden porn and sex toys in our house. He now also has bi-sexual flings on business trips and has gotten very good at hiding everything. I'm fairly sure my mom knows nothing, or extremely little.. I still love him and I know he's a good dad. I just can't tell anyone anything.. | 2282011 | ||||||

| I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year and have never flet so in love. A few weeks into the relationship I discovered that my boyfriend exhibits compulsive behaviour, such as hoarding rubbish. I confronted him and he confessed he suffered Bi Polar disorder but was not taking medication. Also, he suffers with sporadic episodes of impotence that he puts down to his condition,nevertheless we do enjoy sexual intimacy in other ways. About 3 months ago whilst he was asleep he recived a text. I read it. It saud " I wish I was in bed with you". Desperate to know who the person was I rang them, and spoke to a very surprised woman who belived that the phone number she had messaged belonged to a girl, a lesbian aged 18 and named 'Lindy' and ,met through a dating site. . I confronted my boyfriend who had a very surprised reaction and denied knowing anything about it. I never forgot it, but the truth - that he might be posing as a girl online seemed to awful to bear thinking about, as we were supposed to be in love and I felt that I was really getting to know him. 3 months later, I have discovered the truth - he was posing as his flatmates teenage daughter. I found over 1000 messages on his email account. he broke down, deleted the who account and has promised to visit a doctor to ge medication. I said I will stand by him. Am I crazy? | 1252011 | ||||||

| I accidentally read somebody's email. My boyfriend got a new android phone and I helped him to set since mine is almost the same, and he didn't know how to do it. His gmail account broke my heart. We've been together for 2.5 years, with just a few bumps down the road. He sexted with his ex from 20 years ego, where she sends him pictures of her in white cotton panties and he is about to buy her new camera because hers sucks. He is telling her our relationship has been on and off and that when he was IMing her he was single. That was a 1.5 after we've been together. He invites her to the club we go every Saturday to shake her "Sexy Booty". That was .5 a year ago. I am 28, tall, smart, financially independent, hardworking (3 jobs), no kids, no drama, no jealousy, my own house, Degree, sexy, open minded girl (we had threesomes),loyal,fun. I don't know what to do. I asked some questions without revealing i know, he denied. I can't look in his lying eyes! What do I do now? | 472011 | ||||||

| My sister and I have been very committed to Christ for the past few years, ever since I got into high school. Yet as of late she has had her 1st serious boyfriend, which scares me because she tells me about all of her sexual escapades... and for the first time she had sex 2 weeks ago.. without a condom. I am terrified that she has even the slightest possibility of being pregnant. Because of our beliefs her having sex before marriage is a sin yet her choice... yet if she does get pregnant she will not be allowed to have an abortion. Because even killing the smallest form of human life is still killing. I love my sister, and I don't think that sex in High School is right. Does anyone have any advice as to how I could discourage her actions? | 11112009 | ||||||

| My sister told my family she was a lesbian when I was in middle school. My family was too embarrassed due to the fact they were so religious and that they blamed themselves. I did not find that it was so bad but still had to respect my parents due to the fact that I was little, so I never told anyone and would pretty much lie. When I was a junior year in high school... my sister informed my parents that she changed her name to a male name, and now wanted to be addressed as a boy. She said she felt like a "boy and the inside". I was horrified!!! I didn't even say I had a sister unless I had to, and if so I would say our family is not close to her. Now that I am older I realized I cant help not to love her/him (i still struggle). I want to tell all my friends, but I feel ashamed. I am afraid that people will judge/make fun of her/my family. what is healthy way to go about it????? I want to be free with out hating or worrying. If i come out Im not ready for jokes. | 1282010 | ||||||

| My step-brother sexually abused me at a young age. He told me it was fine. I was just a boy. We were caught and things were back to normal. Years later, I told a gay friend of mine, and they convinced me it was okay. I became obsessed and stuck inappropriate notes on his door. One day it got way out of hand and I filmed him in the shower. I hate myself. | 11102010 | ||||||

| I have been in love with this woman since shortly after I met her. I am married, and she was married to a family member. She was always very attentive to me, and made me feel very special unlike my wife. She invited me over several times when no one was around, but we each remained frozen on opposite sides of the room, each knowing what would happen if we touched each other. It wasn’t the immediate consequences we were worried about, but the pain we would have caused our families. We even spoke in general terms, about what it would be like to live in another country. She since married someone else and moved away. We wrote for several years, but soon that ended ….. I suppose I’ll never stop loving her, and she will probably be the last person I think about before I die. She was the most wonderful person I’ve ever known, how sad to loose someone like that. | 10202010 | ||||||

| My father was, and still is, a very loving and caring man, but he use to get angry. When I was very young he would back me into walls and yell and me until I cried. He once pulled my sister by the hair and he called us "ungrateful brats" often. My sister considers what he did to us abuse, but I'm not sure. It was usual my fault. I was a bratty kid. Now though I'm so afraid of a man having control over me like that again. I try not to attach myself to any guy and only admire them from afar, even if I like them a lot. Sex with a guy would be like giving up all control and make me extremely vulnerable. No matter how much I want it, I don't know if I can allow that. | 362010 | ||||||

And she made fun of me the other day in front of my brothers friend saying I'm retarded...which I'm not and she blames all her problems on me,shes overweight- my fault, she never has freedom- my fault, she never has money to spend on herself- my fault....sometimes I want to die, I go in my room at night planning on running away but I never do cause I have hope that the next will be better and that maybe she'll love me...but it never happens...I'm stuck and now my brother is leaving for college and he's the only person I've ever felt loved by and he's my best friend and I don't know how I'll survive without him because I tell him everything:(...I need help please.

| My brother is in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship. Me and the rest of the family stand back and don't get involved because it's her that is beating up on him. I wish there was something to say to make him realise how badly he's being treated, but when anyone tries to say anything to him or to her they just cut them out of their lives. I got cut because I wouldn't take his wife's side against my sister. If he was a girl and she was the guy we would have had an intervention, organised for counselling, sent someone around to have a talk to the aggressor. Instead we just watch him moving further away from our family and becoming more and more subserviant to a woman with her own emotional problems who is using him as a punching bag. The final straw: We were all meant to be flying in from around the country for our grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. He cancelled his flights at the last minute to go to an anime convention with his wife. I miss my little brother :-( | 8142010 | ||||||

| When I first started to have breasts (going into puberty), I remember my uncle telling me to lie down and he would lie under me, with his hands on my newly grown breasts, with my shirt on. I remember him do that more than once, but less than five times. I don't necessarily consider this as sexual assault or whatever, but it is something I've wanted to let out. It was really a long time ago, and I don't want to bring this back because I believe he move on, while I did too. Now, I'm feeling better sharing this, but I still wonder if I should talk about this to my parents and/or friends. Please give me your opinion on this subject. | 7312009 | ||||||

| My mother is overprotective. Since I graduated highschool I have actually had less freedom: I am rarely allowed out except to work or uni. I was grounded a few months ago, because I got asked to house sit and drive my friend's little sister to school for a week, and I had the nerve to ask my parents if I was allowed to or not. When she was my age she went overseas with her boyfriend (my father) but when I tell her that she tells me it was different because it was for their education. She keeps needling me to get a boyfriend but I cannot tell her it's because I'm never allowed out anyway, so how am I supposed to meet anyone? And if I got a boyfriend she'd probably disapprove anyway. While my friends are enjoying life I am getting more depressed because I can't do anything, go anywhere. I think she's overprotective because she doesnt want me to leave home; when I do she will be stuck alone with my abusive dad. I can't stay here forever, I need to get my own life. I'm going crazy. | 10242011 | ||||||

| It really, really hurts me when my family excludes me. They go out, have dinner, and watch television together and never, ever invite me. A few times I get excited when it seems like we'll have a family dinner for them to alert me only when they've finished. I do everything I can for them and all I want is to be involved. I have no idea why this happens. It hurts me more than anything. Anything. | 922009 | ||||||
