My mother sometimes loses her temper and has mood swings sometimes, too. They aren't that bad, but every few years there's a day when she has one and I'm left feeling crushed, hurt, and lonely.
Today, we(my bro, mom, and I) went to a car dealership to quickly get some special device installed in our car. It was only supposed to take like, 15 minutes, but we were left waiting for 4 hours. After the key got installed we were supposed to go shopping, but my mother was so angry that once we got in the car, she started going on about how our father never pays for anything(my parents are divorced), and how she's supposed to pay for everything, and how we'll just return the car and she'd never, ever take us out anywhere. Then she went on about if there was any hope in her life, and a bunch of other things. Almost the entire time I was sitting in the back crying quietly. Once we got home we all went to our bedrooms and this is where I am now. Please, please help me out. What do I do?

Now that I'm in college it's a little harder to comfortably bring up the fact that my brother is different to my friends, especially guys!

How soon do I need to let a potential boyfriend know? And I need ideas of how to introduce them in person later on (if it gets that far which it might). I have never had a boyfriend, and so I am very worried about this. I am afraid that I will scare this guy off and he would not want to date me (I do know that I shouldn't worry because I wouldn't want to date anybody who doesn't accept my family anyway, but still it's scary!)

My brother is two years younger than me so is still in high school, is fairly verbal, but will sometimes say random stuff that makes no sense unless you've spent a lot of time with him.

Anyway my biggest concern is how to tell my friend without (a) sounding like I'm trying to start a pity-party or (b) getting him too weirded out?

Whether you're a sib yourself or just have ideas, thanks.

i have been with my man for a little over a year and a half. Our mutual friends called us the ideal couple. We are very open with one another. We have gotten in 2 arguements in our entire relationship. We always have the best times together and theres so much love.
last night he told me that he hasnt been happy for the past week.he says that you hurt me last weekend. and i have been thinking of some other times that you have hurt me and i have just never told you. then he said that we should spend some time apart.he blamed me for a few things which i talked to him about today and he said that he was sorry because they wernt all my fault.and now were not taking time apart.but everytime i talk to him its so incredibly akward! like the sick to your stomach kind. and he talks to me in a sarcastic and cocky way. i get really nervous when we talk on the phone and dont know what to say, so i dont say anything. if he says something ill respond but other than that im speechless. please help!

The plain truth is they really don't like me much, and I am not crazy about them either---yea we love each other---but on my end its the problem of I poured my lifes blood into raising them and they don't see the revevancy of being respectful or even happy to see me. I'm middle of the road person, no drinking drugs etc. their father and I gave it our best shot and they are all other religions, and quite remote. I guess if I had it to do over again I'd pass, except for one grand kid, whos a charmer.

Thanks

I like this guy, and so does my best friend.
Someone found out and told me that I don't have a chance with him, but my best friend would.
I feel bad about this because it's true, but they don't even know me well enough to say that I wouldn't anyway, why are they so judgemental? (LOL I know I can't spell! Sorry)

some things go to pay for bills. I'm thinking about relocating. Most of the jobs are not on the bus line. I feel like this is my only option. It a lot a people are looking for work & can't get there due to the location. It foolish to fax resume if I know I can't put go to the interview.
I have already done some research (job economic, housing, schools, crime static’s, etc) so I know this is a good this will be a good choice before I make my move.
The problem is my sister's agree to keep my child until I get on my feet. I'm going to help her financial. My mother's told me she got enough responsible she a single parent of 5. Their dad is in jail. Before he went to jail. He wasn’t helping her with the kids financially. He was selling drugs. I don’t if he has change or not. My sister told me in his letter. He says he will & will buy the children a puppy.
He will be getting out in a couple of months. I will be living in a shelter temporary. Should I take her with me or let her stay.

Okay there's this guy i met on myspace, he asked for my # and i gave it to him, because i thought he was kinda cute. he has called me twice now, and we just chit-chatted over the phone. After about two weeks, sent me a casual "whats up" text and now he still texts me. We just talk about general things, like school, movies, music and stuff. i mean whats the deal. Apparently he has a girlfriend, why does he keep texting me? he's cool and i like him. But i don't get it.

What do you think is the right age?
All religions aside.. give me an age and not "when im married"

I would say around age 19 to 21 would be old enough

What about you?

I'm a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding. Her maid of honor is a pain and isn't on top of the things she is to do. I am helping plan the bridal shower that is next weekend. Let's just say she is not aware of the timing at all even though we have discussed it time and time...so anyways mostly it's me doing the important stuff at the last minute because she it too worried about the cake to book a venue, I had to stay on her to get the invites out on time...etc.

NOW, to the latest issue. She had me ask the brides mother for money and my mother and the other bridesmaids (my sisters) for the shower. I thought that you are to put on the invite who is throwing the shower. On the invite she did not do that, so it looks like she is throwing it alone. My family (nor me) who have given alot of money have not been acknowledged. What can I do to get it corrected? Also, what is the etiquette on gifts when ur spending tons of $ on a wedding as a maid of honor?Any advice would be appreciated

I am currently married to a man that decided over a year ago to go back and live with his mother. I have been alone now for over a year. He just went through De-tox to get off of drugs and alcohol and still wants to remain at home with her. He dislikes my chihuahua/rat terrier and seems to havea problem coming home. I have met anoher man who would do anything for me and absolutely loves me unconditionally. We just recently started back at church and I love him. Do I just walk away or do I give him more time to work through his differences. Desperate

well i was thinking. it seems like so many people go to the doctor when they are "sad" and they get prescibed medication. im sure there is depression, but not many people have it. it seems like a cop-out.
my mum has it apparently, and so does my dad. with my mum she just cries and wont move for days in her bedroom. and my dad is abusive- he gets on with my brother, but seems to hate me. when i was a kid he did that cliche thing of 'only hitting me where people wont see' (like torso) never arms or face. i don't know why. they are both on medication, but i think that makes it worse- if they got off their meds then they could sort their lives out. i don't think sad people should get drugged up- it masks the problem.
is depression real? everyone gets sad sometimes, but why do some people get so sad, and others just a bit. i feel i ought to have it, but i don't, and i get guilty cos my brother told me he wants to die.
so is it real?

For about 5 years now, I've been planning on going into the medical field. I'm definitely smart enough to do so, and despite my young age, I've had several local colleges offer me scholarships for a 6 year med-school program, but the more I learn about such a career, the less I'm interested.( Plus, I don't think I'd have the mental stability to deal with the responsibility of deciding, potentially, whether someone will live or die.)

To put it bluntly, I want to be an accountant, not a doctor.

How do I break this to my mother? With her, I am incapable of just telling her point blank, but she keeps going on and on to her friends about how proud she is that her little girl will probably be a doctor.

I just received the oddest phone call. My uncle was clearly irritated at me. I was living nearly rent free at one of his properties about 18 monthes ago. He was angry because he is loosing tenants at one of his apartment buildings. Namely the apartment I was living at. He says that people would move it then forfeit the deposit money and move in about a month to three monthes after moving in. He said he refunded the last couple to move out because they were there for only two weeks. The former tenants all claim there is a problem with the apartment, or "feeling uncomfortable" in the apartment. The last tenants were so "disturbed" they wer actually crying about it and claim it was "haunted", when I was living there I into any cult practices or calling on demons. I got drunk alot and lounged around alot, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, I never had anything unusual happen to me either.

So, am I being blamed because I am the most convienent person to blame?
