Family - July 2006

My dad, he just came back from Iraq after 4 months of being away(he's not a soldier just a civilian worker) and although I'm really happy to see him again, it feels like I hardly know him any more. I've had millions of emotions and thoughts run through me since he's been gone all building up to when he got back, and now its like I have nothing to say. I dont know how to tell him how much I've missed him, how much I love him, and how much I would give to see he more than a week or two every four months. I'm a bit of a wreck and just dont know what to do.

She is just jealous because I am a go-getter who is able to multi-task. That is why I was promoted to Assistant Manager at KFC.

She wants me to wait until I get out of the tub to blow dry....so that I will be late and lose my job or get demoted to cashier.

Nice try sis.

How do I deal with her mind games???

I am just beside myself right now and I am probably not thinking correctly.

I live in a fairly good part of Connecticut, mostly caucasian and middle-class with good schools and all.... and just 5 minutes ago I was putting my 13 year old daughter's laundry away and I stumbled upon a knife and the knife was inside of a journal, the blade was exposed and it caught my eye. Could my daughter be suicidal ? Could my daughter be crying out for help ? Or is my daughter just eating peanut butter on crackers while she writes her journal every night before she goes to bed ? Which do you think it could be ?

Please help, I just don't know what to do right now and I don't know if I should further impose and inspect her recent journal entries, perhaps she is writing about me in there, or maybe she is writing about boys, I know I was into boys when I was her age, oh no, I don't know what to do, please help !!

My 16 year old brother is doing illegal activities; drinking & driving..drugs, stealing anything not tied down (gas, money, ect)stealing money from my parents. He crashed a vehicle and my dad bailed him out of court trouble. My problem is I have 2 small kids, and I dont want them exposed to this. My parents pretend they are oblivious to his actions, but speaking up about it causes HUGE fights. They even said that I was the one stealing the money, not him :<(
It hurts reallly bad to for them to overlook this terrible behavior, but my kids are way more important than him. This is not a situation where u sit down with family and TALK it out. My brother is very hateful and cold hearted, and even mentioned hurting (slapping ) my toddler. Can he be legally held responsible for all of this, and can I have him investigated while remaining anonymous? Also, Id like to know if anyone else has been in this situation....where your brother would be better off behind bars, than in society?? Thank

My sister just found out that she is pregnant and she doesnt have any of her other children, I want another child but I cant have any more, she's willing to let me have the child, but can I do that without having to go to court? Can we just write up and agreement and get it notarized stating that I will raise the child as my own and take full responsibility for the child?

I am currently living w/ my sis and her hubby and I don't have a job yet so when she askeds me to do something I do it, I feel obligated of course.

Now it's like a everyday thing and they leave their **** on the floor and just don;t even try to clean there messes. When her husband gets home he goes straight to his room and I am still stuck w/ the kids!!! then when she gets home it does not get much better.

My hubby is looking for a job and almost has one but god I don;t know if I can make it!?!?!? Should I talk to them, I have tried 2 times and it's like she says things will change but they don't.

Her hubby is always talking about my husband aslo, saying he
s worthless, when he don't even know him. All I can thing of is he's jealous because he really don't know him at all.

HELP!!

Obviously my mom has had a bad day at work, she came home crying [something she normally, or has never done] and I asked her what was wrong, and also let her know that if she wanted to talk, im here to listen, and im not going to force it out of her. She left for like 3-4 hours earlier and now she wont tell me where she has been and when i asked she just said "what difference does it make?" I dont know what I should say to her to put her in a better mood, and she has never done this before. I know shes not sneaking around or anything, but she is still crying.

okay i am very unhappy living with my dad and my horrible step mother at home. i am here visiting my mom and i have noticed how unhappy i really am. i want to stay here but then again i want to give my dad a chance to be a father. i want to tell him how i really feel about my step mom but if he slips i could get into some huge trouble. that is when i would call my mom...call cps...or wait to go to school to talk to my councelor and tell them i am being abused. the problem is that my dad has no idea when he is at work how my step mom really acts towards my brother and sister and i...mostly my brother and i though. another problem is that when i go home on aug2 then i would tell my dad...and i wouldnt go back to school until the 15 of aug. my point is that if he slipped i would have to live in hell until i went back to school. what should i do? i am going to cps tomorrow to know what to expect and to ask questions. i still need some advise from people who care about what i am going thru.

We were never married. His name is on the birth certificate. We have an informal agreement where we see her equal amounts. Do I need to a more formal agreement before she starts school? Does it even matter if we establish custody? Aubrey is 2, so does that mean the mother automatically has custody if the child was born out of wedlock?

When my husband and I were first dating they all loved me I worked two jobs and took care of him and my daughter. We've been married now for 4 years and have 3 kids and his whole family hates me and i think that they hate my kids. I cannot work because he's millitray we have 1 car and day car for 2 little kids would be too exspensive. So I stay home and cook clean and take care of everything all he has to do is go to work. But some how I am the bad person. Our oldest daughter is not biologically his so I understand them not caring for her I quess but he's been with me since she was a month old. My kids never get phone calls on birthdays or holidays they are forgotten. They never ask for pictures of them. The worst part was 2 years ago my oldest daughter was in the hospital with a tumor in her brain and not one member of his family called. She has had 3 brain surgeries and they could care less. I am under loads of stress.

I recently sat down with my fiance's to get a wedding invite list together and he showed me some pictures of his uncle and then I realized that I'd had sex slept with him a few years ago. Obviously my husband was going to invite him,but I said I didn't feel well and he said we could do it this weekend. I do not know what to do. I could tell him, because it was before I knew him and two years ago. Or I could suggest we elope and then no one gets invited. I don't know what to do. I just have all these thoughts going through my mind.

ok im 15 my brother is 17 and my sister is 11 and about 3 years ago my parents got divorced because my dad was cheating on her. well my mom got full custody and my dad lived about 30 minutes away in apartments and we visited him like every other week. we lived with only our mom for about a year. but then we moved to texas when our dad was in georgia. we all missed him alot. when we moved my mom married my stepdad. it all goes downhill from here. we all never got along with our stepdad and we had ABSOLUTELY nothing in common with him. my mom and brother would always yell and argue because it seemed like my mom was choosing our stepdad over us. so after 6 months my brother moved and lived with my dad. after that me and my stepdad and mom always got into alot of arguements some days it was good and others its REALLY bad. i kinda feel like i cant leave and live with my dad cause i feel i have to stay cause my mom does love me. i love my dad ALOT and this summer we got to stay with him.....

recently I lost an uncle unexpectedly to suicide. Due to financial situations and timing the family here was unable to fly to the other side of the country to pay our last respects. So a family get together/memorial was planned.

It has just been cancelled due to one family members emotional state after this death occured. I am unsettled because the way I see it is you don't cancel a furneral when someone dies so why would we do that. I always thought of my family as one that came together for one another. Now they seem to have just brushed off this event and I don't know how to deal with it.

Am I being selfish? When all I wanted were answers and closure and to say goodbye with my family by my side.

No one even knows how he did when exactly what was wrong and its been torturing me for two weeks now.

Should I just go on with my life? Or take a stand and let my family know how I feel
