Family & Relationships - 6 March 2007

My dad, who I never knew, died a few days ago and I barely found out today that he did.

I'm a foster kid and my mom died when I was 5. It was hard, but I was 5 and really didn't understand.

I never knew my dad, I met him like 2 times when I was 3 (fyi that was 12 years ago!). I didn't know him, all I knew was that his named was Jason P. Scott and he was black and I look like him.

What I wanna ask is, should I be sad? I mean, he was my dad ( I have a father figure in my life whom I call dad). I feel that I should be sad, but should I really? Should I cry (did a little) feel sad? happy?

Thing that sucks is that I was told by Department of Child Support Services of Santa Clara (they were trying to find him so he could pay child support) and the letter said:

THE NON CUSTODIAL PARENT HAS DIED.....blah blah blah...and when I read it...my heart skipped a beat. He's dead....

He told me he was self-injuring by scalding himself in the shower, but i found out all those little scabs were actually meth sores, crank bugs, speed bumps. Yes, I'm a gullible idiot. He's in AA, and goes to meetings every week, purporting that he's been clean and sober 4 years. He's such a success, they ask him to talk at different events. I'm out, and I'm over the shock. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do? (aside from getting tested for every disease under the sun-clean thank God) B-t-w eharmony sucks.

I have a loving Grandson who is 24, and give till it hurts me.
My Son got a girl pregnant at 16 and my grandson was the result. We brought him home from hospital because mother did not want him. We raise him husband and I, best decision we ever made in our marriage.

I have M.S. and is in remission for how long I don't know, but when I had shingles It caused me to have paralysis and I could barely move for two weeks. My Grandson was there for me he washed me, fed me, got me into wheel chair and took me outside to get some sun, And Changed my dirty dippers without a complaint, said " he could never let his grandma be left in soiled undergarments"! I love that boy, as any of my kids who never even help me. I now live with grandson after husband died 3 years ago, he went to Stanford and got 2 Ph.d.s applied mathematic, electronic architecture physics, and make a very good living freelancing trouble shooter, as well as, fly in navy reserves. I'm really proud of him, to say the least.

I was standing near both of them, and when I left the area, she told him that she'd gotten pierced (below the belt). I think this was inappropriate and basically a way to flirt with him. Do you think so too, or am I overreacting?

Okay, my husband works third shift, so he sleeps until like, ten. Most nights I'll ask him if I want him to cook, and he says no. So, tonight he wakes up and gets all pissy because I haven't cooked. I just didn't think he'd want me to. So he yells at me, and acts like a child, then when he's leaving tries to kiss me. I told him no, I don't want a kiss, so he slaps my arm. I pushed him off, and he pushed me back and knocked me into the doorway and I hit my arm and forehead really hard. I turned around and told him not to ever push me, and he grabbed my arms and threw me up against the wall as hard as he could, so I hit his nose with my head. So then he punched me in the shoulder really hard and by then I was crying and sitting on the couch, He comes over and says he's sorry and I told him to just go, and he smacks my head real hard and leaves. I can't deal with this. We're so much better than this, or so I thought. I really just want to take my son and leave. *he was in bed @ the time

I just broke up with my ex-boyfriend today and now he is really mad at me. This usually wouldn't be so much of a problem, but before we started going out we were really good friends. I just don't want this to ruin our friendship.

When you see a blonde, do you just assume she is a fake blonde? Do you make sterotypical assumptions about what kind of person she is? I find many comments people make about blonde women very offensive and immature.

Ther is this boy, and I am not sure if he likes me. I think he does though. Anyway, this boy you cant trust told me he was going to ask me to the winter formal. I was kinda excited but two questions came into my head.

1. Is he telling the truth?
2. Why didnt he ask me if it was the truth?

Oh and I think he likes me because we talk on IM and he likes to look at my webcam. He loves staring at me at school, but he cant talk to me without acting nervous.

What do you thinkl about this?????????

well i seem to find it hard to believe my boyfriend when he says all the nice things about me. maybe its because my mom has raised me to believe most guys are jerks and nice ones come around rarely. well my boyfriend is very nice and one day he even took me out to one of the few nice lakes in Vegas and asked me to dance which was really sweet. he said it was the first time he even tried in a relationship before. I know he is genuine and wouldnt cheat on me (since all of his exs have cheated on him). i just dont know why, half the time, i think he is just BSing. I just want to know if this is normal? or do guys all act nice just to get what they want or get in a girls pants.

If women have equal rights, shouldn't they be asking men out 50% of the time? Equal rights AND responsibilities. If the man does 50% of the laundry and dishes, women should do 50% of the asking out!

During the summer time, going camping, going fishing and going online are things I enjoy doing. First, camping is something I enjoy doing because it’s fun and the camping area looks beautiful. Some fun things I enjoy when camping are the late night’s stories, the late night’s barbequing. When I go camping with my family, my uncle Jim will always tell these funny and scary stories to us and I always enjoy it. He would talk about how he first met his wife my aunty Silly from a bar and switch the topic to how Silly would abuse him when ever he doesn’t takes his shoes off before he enter the room. Me and everybody would start to laugh out loud and aunty Silly would pinch Jim on the side or something telling him a sign to stop embarrassing her. He also talks about the little girl that drowns at the river and an old lady met her while she was at the place where this young girl drowns. It’s get scary later on but I’m not going to tell everything. Every time I hear the story, I get a chill on

Ok, so my friend and i are both freshmen in HS, and yesterday, she told me that she thought she was pregnant. I had been noticing some of the signs, but I thought it was just a mood issue. She told me she won't go to her parents until after she knows for sure, and that she is scared to buy a pregnancy test. I offered to buy it for her, but she told me she couldn't let me do it. So as a guy, what can I actually do to help her?

What do you think of a girl who keeps an engagement ring which she got from her ex-boyfriend?

Is it normal to still keep it?

Or she should give it back to him or he should get it back from her? Maybe either one should sell it?

Just because I am tall doesnt make me any less female, cause I have a few inches on me..

My ex wife started taking depression medication two years ago.Nothing seemed the same after she started taking them.It was like nothing was ever good enough or that the high only lasted so long.She started running around and doing things she always said she would never do.She said she was running away from her problems.We finally divorced.I still cannot give myself a closure because I think she still does not know what she wants.She has a history of depression in her family and even some bipolar.I cannot think of anything that would cause her to act like she is.Its like she is a different person.Shes came back to me several times,but never seems totally happy.Ive bent over backwards for this girl.What do you think the future could hold for her.She told me that she loves me she swears just not in love.Does she really even know that?Could it be possible she is bipolar.Ive asked,but dont know if she would tell me anyway.I truely love this girl with all my heart,just feel used and hurt.

my "best friend" of 7 years did not invite me to er wedding... I found out afterward and she said it was just a "small family thing"
ok, so i was hurt. but i got over it and invited her to MY wedding even tho it was also small. that was in november. now ive had major surgery, ( she knew what day i was going in) i called her the day after and she had company and had to go. then i left her two msgs in the last 11 days. She doesnt return my calls to even find out how it went, or am I ok or anything!
Is it just me, or did our frinedship go down the drain when i wasnt looking?
