My father had a stroke and him and his wife were seperated. Well he lost his memory and can not do for himself so he stays with my grandmother and my aunts take care of him . He gets a check every month and the wife gets it. She does not spend any of it on my father and I was told because she is legally still his wife and that she is entitled to it. I do not know what to do but my dad is suffering. As his daughter do I have any rights

I'm 15 years old and my only sibling went off to college this year. My mom doesn't have a job and monitors me CONSTANTLY. She even had my dad install a program on my computer that turns it off at 10:40. She has me on a very tight leash, not letting me go places after school unless they are planned things (like sports), and won't even let me do things on Friday after school unless they have been preplanned the night before, which is awful because teens are spontaneous! She is now having me sit at the dinner table for 2 hours a night (sunday-thursday) to do homework. Oh, did i mention that she sits in the kitchen and and constantly comes in and checks up on me?? I could understand if I had awful grades, but report cards came out and I had all B's and an A. She is e-mailing my teachers all the time asking what assignments I have not turned in etc. and has made a schedule that can earn "points" when I'm on time in the mornings and go to bed promplty at 11:00 which will earn a dinner out...

I am a junior in college who lives with her brother and wife while my parents live in Texas. I hate living here and cant wait to move out of here! I plan on pursuing a career that demands a graduate school...and none of those schools are in the state that i live in. The idea of going to a new and strange place is really scarey to me unless my boyfriend comes with me.

But here's the deal. My parents are strict and old fashioned and oppose in us living together before we get married. I on the other hand, agree with my boyfriend that it's too early to get married (we're going on four years, but i'm still 20 yo!) and i cant imagine a long distance relationship or not having his support through all the schooling i will be putting my self through.

Is there anyway i can brake into my parent's beliefs and have them understand!? How can i get them to realize im not a little girl anymore and that i need to create my own life now?

Seems as though white and latino women are the new trend in 2007. I've seen alot of black guys dating white and latino women lately, but its rare to see a white man and black woman. Is this the new trend or just a faze for black men?

what is the best way to tell your parents that you live with at the age of 19 going on 20 that feel they have control over everything you do...and i mean everything...that you are going to be with the guy that they dont want you talking to even though you are close to starting your own life and having your own responsibilities...

My mom- Her father used to beat her mom to death and he was also alcoholic. She has a drinking problem. She is a manic depressive and cant live without her medication. She may abuse it. Sleeps alot. Cries ALL the time. Before she and my dad were divorced she would go to the bars all the time and end up in jail. She cheated on my dad and i knew about it the whole time but i never said anything. Has what's turning into a abusive b/f.
Dad- He has his own business so i never see him much. My mom never saw him either so she thought if he never had to be home then why did she? He had the police come to our house to arrest my mother because she was drunk again and things were getting out of hand. He's never really understood me and thinks something is wrong.
Me- I cut my wrists to release the stress of everyday living. I dont talk to anyone at school, and i mean NO ONE. I cant trust anyone so whenever i have a boyfriend or friends at all they are only around for a short time. I abuse drugs.

I've been dating my boyfriend for 5 months..
he's 23 and I'm 20
We recently started to make love
but last saturday night he wanted me to talk bad during sex.
I didnt know what to say so I asked him to start..

he said really loud right off the bat..
"'IM GONNA RIP YOU IN HALF BIT'CH"
"YOU LIKE THAT..YOU DIRTY GIRL"


He said he was going to rip me half..I jumped up and turned the lights on and ran to the bathroom , put my clothes on and went back home.

That is some scary stuff.
Why would someone who says he loves you want to split me half?

weird and scary

I havent talked to him since.
He's been calling every hour.

this man needs help.

I had a really good friend who I cared about very much. She considered me her "best friend", but never really acted like it. She always envied me. But I still cared about her alot. She was in an abusive relationship a couple of years ago but was able to get out of it. I recently started suspecting that she was talking to him again, so I confronted her. She swore to me that she wasn't, she even put it on our friendship. Turns out she was talking to that trash again, so she moved out of her parents house and moved in with him again. I was very hurt and decided that as long as she was still with him, I wouldnt talk to her. But she has been trying to talk to me through Myspace, and truth is I do miss her. She swears that he's changed, but I doubt it. I just feel like if I do talk to her, that kind of means I'm supporting what she is doing.... Am I being a bad friend????? What should I do????

what to do if your wife wont sign a prenup. the prenup states the following: any spouse (me or her) who cheats loses 85% of marital assests, both partners need to contribute if one doesnt they do not receieve anything from the marital assests. in case of divorce neither spouse gets any assests of the other spouse that were obtained prior to marriage.

why wont she sign a prenup that has that? i dont understand

I have legal physical custody of him. His father has visitaion. He never comes and sees him anyways. Maybe once a month. can he do that? Will I be able to talk to the judge and tell him the situation and be able to take him with me?

If teens care SO MUCH about their babies then:

a. Why did they get pregnant in the first place because no baby should have an immature mom for a mom (that is no good for the baby).

b. Why don't they put the baby up for adoption??? It would be the BEST for the baby!!!

c. Why don't teen mothers ever do what is best for their baby???

Here is the situation. My wife is going to file for divorce soon. We have been married almost 2 years (Dec 30,2007 is 2 years)..

She says that she doesn't want to even try to rebuild our marriage because she doesn't think she can ever be happy with our marriage. She still cares about me and wants to remain close friends.

We are here because of some lies by me last month about paying bills and also because of a small (4-5 times a month) drug problem of mine (i'm in full rehab now under my own choice)...

My question is

Do you think she is not wiling to try fix our marriage because she is in shock? everything happened all at once in a 2 month timeframe.

Do you think that with time (the day i proposed is Dec 24 and our anniversary is Dec 30) she will realize how important being in each other's lives is and become ready and willing to give me a chance to rebuild our marriage?

I moved to the Caribbean a few months ago and since then I have had a sexual reawakening.
I have had more lovers in the past five months here than I have had in 4+ years at home! I have had sex with 6 men and one of those occasions was a threesome with 2 men.(this is a first). I have also been intimate with another and kissed a girl!
Honestly?Its been mostly drunk or under the influence encounters - I've been going out 1000% more than I was at home and get 100 times more attention than I did at home. Basically I've turned into a party girl and want her to stop.
I'm very fit and young looking and very attractive so I get a lot of compliments (rarely got this at home though it did happen)
I need to stop (obviously) before I get myself a disease or a bad name or knocked up. I want to stop.
Alcohol doesnt help and I get flattered and turned on and feel a sense of wild adventure so I've 'gone for it'.
I need to say no from now on...any constructive advice?

It seems so easy to divorce these days. I do not think everyone takes into consideration their marriage vows said before God. Why do you think this is or is not? Thank you!
