Family & Relationships - 9 December 2006

My grandmother died 2 days ago. I was very close to her and she was more of a mother to me. My childhood was full of chaos and my mother is not mentally stable. I am crushed that she died so suddenly.
Today is the first of the calling hours. My mother treated my grandmother badly for most of her life. She also manipulated her and used her. Now my mother is playing the role of grieving daughter and ordering everyone around. She even planned the entire funeral without consulting my granfather. She is looking at this as a chance for her to be in the spotlight. Her behavior is loud and attention-seeking. She also lies about people, twists the facts, creates drama, and is not afraid to throw public tantrums. (she is 57).

I am hurting so badly that Grandma is gone. I don't know how to handle my mother's innapropriate and insincere behavior. It is like salt in the wound.

I sit there in class fantasizing, I look at his eyes which are such a deep brown they are almost black. But my grades are slipping, I came to relize passing highschool is more important than looking at this boy, but i cannot stop thinking about him. Any hints on how to focus?

She has insecurities. But she seriously might also be crazy. (Although I remind myself you all might be...) I love this girl, but she keeps me around, just close enough, but if I get too close, BAM! she's gone. Seriously, what do I do to see if she will commit? Asking hasn't worked. I am worried because I am starting to resent her indecision.

is it a delicate illusion?
does it come and go?
is "trust" a 'currency' that we give and take away in a flash like money when the mood or circumstances strike us ?

are you trustworthy? is there such a thing as trustworthy?

I'm in a relationship with a very nice, beautiful and smart girl for almost 5 years now - a couple of months ago, we got engaged.

Just recently, i've been getting this urge to have a one time affair with another girl when she hinted that she liked me. I don't have any feelings for her and i love my fiancee very much but i feel that i should atleast have another experience before tying the knot. I'm 24 right now and haven't had any other sexual relationship with other girls aside from my fiancee. She, on the other hand, have had several relationships before me.

Am i being a stupid #&@^%# idiot? Is this a normal urge?

No oral action mind you, only a shag session. What did they do?

Did they,

1. Wake up and enjoy it?
2. Wake up pissed off?
3. Not wake up at all and had no idea the next morning?

i am only fifteen(my mom uses this screen name too) but i miss being able to flirt with all the guys that i like not just one. and now it seems like he really likes me alot. i was supposed to break it off yesterday and chickend out. b/c i just would rather him be a crush not a b/f. i dont think he would understand that. especially if he likes me as much as i think he does.

How do I get my brothers to help me take financial care of our elderly, feable mother? They are each far away, they call her but not one of them has ever sent her money, gift certifcates, anything. Don't get me wrong, I adore my mother, I don't mind taking care of her, I know that its impossible for them to drive her on her weekly errands & appts.She lives on Social Security and doesn't have enough money to live. She needs things like blankets, medicine, FOOD, clothes. I literally spend hundreds of dollars every month making sure she haswhat she needs. I hint that it would be helpful if they sent "gift certificates" for groceries, but not once has that come to fruition. I rarely talk to them, and it sucks that when I do I have to ask them to help, which they never comply. They dont even send her Christmas gifts. Also, they have no problem asking her for things "when she is done with them" like precious family heirlooms, which she immediately puts in the mail to them!

Two years ago I ended an engagement with a man I was with for three years. I did not end the relationship because of him doing anything wrong, in fact, he treated me like a queen. I ended the engagement because I had a miscarriage (it was his baby) and our relationship turned into a battlefield becaue of it. Recently he began calling me again (even though he has a new girlfriend) and we always end up arguing. I told him that we can't be friends because there is too much history. He agreed and we stopped talking. Now he's calling again and I don't know what his motives are. Does anyone think they know why he keeps calling? I'm not complaining about him calling, he is a really good guy...I just don't know what to make of it...please help.

I listened in as my mom and dad talked dirty to each other while I was up getting a baloney sandwhich. It was weird and I cant look at them in their eyes anymore. Dude, they were talking about stuff having to do with the anus.
Barf
Anyway, have you ever done that?
LOL! The listening in part not the anus stuff. Hehe.
