Family & Relationships - 22 December 2006

My family has been drifting apart in the last ten years due to a lot of pent up anger and fustration. Our last argument was so intense that physical violence was unavoidable. I want to salvage my family. Talking among ourselves is not working. Maybe we just aren't "listening" to each other or maybe we simply cannot understand what the other person is trying to get through. I thought maybe counseling and therspy can work, but before I start digging deep into my pocket for these sessions, I want to get the public's opinion of whether you think therapy and counseling can help.

OK..alot going on here. Ineed legal advise &emotional support. To set this up>My ex remarried last May. I knew her husband when they were divorcing over 5 years ago>he dated my best friend for a year and I his brother. New wife does not like me because of this. She and my ex husband do not 'know' me. It has been 5 years. My ex and I have a tulmutuous relationship to begin with and she feeds it. We have 50/50 placement and joint custody. They have changed primary care providers without my permission so my insurance (he has none and she now carries them) will not pay out. They changed school districts without my permission to the district they now live in. I ended up picking up my life and moving to a city 40 min away from work because it was too late to change them back when I found out. They have sought dental tx, again with out permission, where my ins does not cover and hers only pays 30% when mine pays 80% at my provider. She tells them to keep 'secrets', there is much much more....

I already got this sweet girl a Victoria's Secret gift card as a stocking stuff, but I wanted to get her something even more special. She said she loves Juicy Catur and Tiffany. Do you think she'd rather have gold heart hoop earring or silver heart earring?

I've been emailing with this guy I've met through answers. I think he is noble and honorable and wonderful, but I am quite a bit older than he is and if he's being honest about his age on answers, I doubt he would be interested in me.
He's not below 'legal' age, I will likely never meet him, we aren't talking about anything salacious, just basic life stuff. I'm wondering if I should tell him how old I am because I don't want to feel like I'm leading him on.
I've even created this ID so I can ask this question without him knowing, what do you all think?

My boyfriend is not really the type to call me a lot. We text sometimes, and he calls me, but only if I say something to him first. Do you think I should talk to him about it, or just see if he starts to be more “regular”? cuz we’ve only been officially going out for 2 weeks and a day, but we’ve liked each other for about 3 months. when he asked me to homecoming, he called me and stuff more than he does now. i sense that he is just nervous, could that be right since I’ve known him for 3 years and liked him for 3 months?

I have seen friends that got married for years and when I asked them abt their marriage life, they would say that their the other half has become a "companion" rather than a spouse. I wonder what happened to let the relationship evolve into that. Some ppl stay together for the sake of their children...would they b happy?

I hate this girl. She keeps on bothering me since the first grade. Now I'm in the eigth grade. Me and my friends argue with her everyday at school by yelling and pushing each other. She screams so loud and went crazy. I almost fight her, She has mental problems. Nobody gets along with her. How can I deal with it? Me and my friends want to really beat her up.

i wasn't going out with *girl1*, but i fancied her ALOT, then i found out she had a bf, but the fondness that had built up added to my wanting to be her friend more.

anyway, she later played a cruel prank on me, she told me this other girl fancied me, and i trusted *girl1* so much, it turned out that the other girl didn;t know anything about it.

and the hate that was once just limited to *girl1*, has been rapidly turning into a severe dislike for most other girls :(

and the f*cked up part about it is, i think deep down, if i had the chance to go out with her, i would, but i don't know if it would be out of any type of "love", or simply to have sex and then leave

how can i move on, and let go of the aggression and hatred

I'm 15 years old, and i live in Missouri.

My mom and i were fighting and he heard us and came up to "finish" it or something.. We were sitting down, then my mom went to get something out of my room to take it away from me and my step dad threw a chair at me, yelled at me about how good i have it, then ripped me out of the chair when i called him unreasonable... He ripped my shirt, and left bruses on my arms. I left the house, which amounted to me crying in the woods for three hours, and when i came back in for shoes, he put me in a head lock and i had to pry myself out of it... then he said they'd throw me in JJC with "the ni*****". Then he put up his fists and called me a pu***... he connected with my right jaw when he swung at me. When i tryed to tell me mom about it, she just said prove it, and he said the same thing... what should i do? i need help....
