Hey! I don’t know what to do. I want to separate my mom and my step dad. My step dad is mean to me. He calls me names, yells at me a lot, and makes fun of me. He constantly is making me cry. He also yells at my mom and brother. How do I separate them without making it look like I separated them?

if i were in your situation i would just talk with my mom privately (you can ask your brother to join you as well), and tell them that you want them to separate because you guys deserve better. i feel like it would be a wrong idea to try to separate them yourself since they're the adults. maybe ask your dad and mom if they could possibly go to marriage counseling.

Explanation:

also, i hope you're doing okay. don't let what your step dad says to you get to your head. life will get better

meditation is a practice of sitting still and quiet for minutes or even hours. it has been practiced for thousands of years and is even a part of religious practices for some people. carefully controlled, repeated measurements of brain activity have shown that meditation does increase certain chemicals in the brain and even grows the part of the brain that people connect with their current surroundings and activities.

are claims about the effects of meditation most likely scientific or pseudoscientific?

not pseudoscientific, because people have made claims about it but scientific observations have not been made
