I have got this html
<div class="ChatDiv">
<div class="chatdiv_ fm">
<span>uhygtfgyhujiuhygt i uytr yui jhuygtfr</span>
</div>
<div class="chatdiv_ fm" style="margin-top:148;">
<span>t</span>
</div>
<div class="chatdiv_ fm" style="margin-top:214;">
<span>t</span>
</div>
</div>
And this css
.ChatDiv{
width: 800px;
height: 480px;
overflow: auto;
margin-left: 350px;
border-radius: 4px;
background: white;
margin-top: 80px;
position: absolute;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 11px black;
}
.fm{
position: relative;
font-family: Nbutler;
font-size: 20px;
float: right;
background: #2196f3;
max-width: 400px;
color: white;
margin-left: -432px;
margin-right: 20px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
span{
display: block;
height: auto;
width: auto;
max-width: 400px;
}
}
And the problem is when i have margin top on fm
elements it takes this margin from the top.Not from the sibling element and i do not how many fm
elements i will have so i can not put the same margin-top for all fm elements

Added Example where margins are calculated from siblings.
.container{
width: 500px;
height: 300px;
margin: 16px auto;
padding: 16px;
border-radius: 6px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.list {
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 16px;
float: right;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color: tomato;
}
.list__elem {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
height: 42px;
margin-bottom: 16px;
padding-left: 16px;
border: 1px solid olive;
line-height: 40px;
}
<div class="container">
<ul class="list">
<li class="list__elem">Elem 1</li>
<li class="list__elem">Elem 2</li>
<li class="list__elem">Elem 3</li>
<li class="list__elem">Elem 4</li>
</ul>
</div>
I think that inline margin styles and lack of element grouping makes it hard to understand the example.
Good luck ;)

If you want to use absolute position, then it will happen all the time, because it will a Div, which has position relative as a borders, and your divs with position absolute just "doesnt exit".
There's no need to use position: absolute
for these divs. Just remove float, position, margins and you will good to go.
