Family - August 2006

We have 2 children both are boys. Since they were young we have been trying to be fair with no bias when it comes to loving and caring. Both are now working but they still have jealousy if one does better than the other. The elder must always give way to the younger one. We don't like to see this happenings. We try to tell the younger one to change this attitude towards his brother. We have been telling them they are brothers and they must love and take care one another. This is what we would like to see from them. So far there are signs of loving between them. We still wonder how some parents can raise their children to respect one another, especially the younger one will respect and obey the elder one simultaneously. We don't know how they could do it.

he was acting sick, he wouldnt eat or drink and he died. I explained to her that he was very sick and might not make it and she started crying, I feel so terrible for her. She fell asleep and he was still alive... How do I explain this to her? She's only four and doesnt understand about death. I dont wanna break her heart and tell her that he died. How can I help her cope and what can I do to ease her mind?

I am 18 years old, I live with 3 siblings and my birth parents. I have an 25 year old brother, and a 19 and 16 year old sister. The problem is my father. As long as i can remember he has without reason excluded me in activities that he would do with my sisters. Or if i asked for something or to do something he would say no but say yes to any of my siblings not a few minutes later. He would do this to me so much that when i was about 10 i kept asking my mother if i was adopted. When i was 17 we had a huge fight. When he got too physical i called 911 and the police came. Ever since that night we have stopped talking to each other. I cannot stand to look at him, or hear him without feeling hate and anger. i feel so much negative emotion everyday that once a week i feel like smoking, talking a bunch of pills (what ever is in my reach in the medicine cabinet from asprin to ipecac, killing myself, or running away. I cannot stand living like this and i want to be able to talk to my father again. Allthough he was unfair to me a lot we did have some good memories together. i just always wished that he could love me like he loved everyone else in my family. According to my mother he has recently realized what he had been doing to me, he didn't notice before, however he doesn't do anything to make up for it and that shows me that he doesn't care. The unfairness tortures me countless times a day. It has been this way for years. Recently it has gotten worse, i am afraid that I will commit suicide or do something else just as bad. Plese give me some advie besides family counseling because he would refuse, and please don't say that i must forgive because i can't. What my father has been doing to me since i was born is wrong.

my oldest son came out a few weeks ago. i have no problem with this, and neither does my husband. but he doesnt want anyone else in the family to know. hes constantly offended when his younger brother constantly calls things and people 'gay'. how do i talk to my younger son about the way he states things? ive tried, but he picked up this habit at school and he wont shake it.

My step daughter is homeless right now. She is in the middle of a divorce from her abusive husband and we didn't want the babies on the street. My 16 year old just doesn't understand. We just moved into a new house less than a month ago.

Were you taught to fix your mistakes even if you have a punishment first and were you disiplined when you did something wrong? Did you parent's back down from disipling you or "forgetting" that you were grounded? Or did you parents leave it to someone else to disipline you like the school and you didn't have anyother repercutions at home? In your case, which parent did most of the disiplining and did your parents work together afterwards or one was more the "fun parent". What have you become because of disipline?

I have gotten my daughter every other weekend since she was 6, now she is 16.We got along real well. The last time she was with me(bout 6 weeks ago)I thought I was going 2 have 2 move about 80 miles from here. She told me 2 call her when I got moved and tell her how to get there & she would come and visit me when it was her visiting time(She has a car)I ended up not having 2 move,so I didn't call her til it was near visiting time 2 let her know that I was still there.I also didn't call because she had told me when she left that she was going on a week long trip with a friend and her family, and said week after that she had band camp.So when I did call her, she acted like that was the reason she was mad,because I didn't call her and let her know.(I found out she already knew anyway)I don't really think that's a good reason for stayin mad so long, and think it's somethin else.If I could make her come legally,I could talk to her long enuff 2 find out the real problem.(won't answer phone)

I am 16 years old. I was living with my grandma since I was a little girl ( my parents died when I was young). My grandma died a couple of monthes ago and I went to live with my uncle who is a high school teacher, lately he has been acting very strange. He will randomly fly into rages over nothing. He has lashed out at me a couple times, pulled my arm really hard, and struck at me, other times he is very depressed and dosn't talk to me for days and dosn't even go to work.He will not allow me to have a boyfriend, and actually screamed and thretened one of my male friends that was hanging out with me. He sometimes will ask me to kiss him, and what I think of him, and will barge in on me right when he knows that I am changing to ask me a question. I don't know what to do, he teaches at the school I go to, but I have heard from some of my friends that he has hit on some of the female students. What should I do?
