Family - October 2006

i lost my daddy 1 yr ago he raised me all my life. i had some troubled teenage years and we got through that. then in 2000, i moved out with my 3 year old at the time, and started my life with my current husband, i only moved across town but we had more children and i didnt see my father as much as i wish now that i would have. he had some drinking problems in the past and was sober for 10 years. he was a vietnam vet so he definatley had the p/t/s/d and when i moved out at some point he began drinking again very heavily! he was taking care of his mother there and the pressure was getting to him! i did not have any idea that he was destroying his body. one day my grandmother called me and said that he was sick and couldnt get out of bed i rushed over and called 911. the doctor at the hospital told me that he would not leave the hospital alive i lost my mind that day. 2 weeks he hung on with vigorous treatment. he passed away 2 min before i got to his room and i lost my world that day!!!

You see we knew each other in high school me and his sis where good friends. We lost contact for about three yrs. and now we have found each other. I went to david's bridal to try on my maid of honor dress and decided how fun to try on wedding dresses and he said yes lets do it. Well we where just messing around and he told his sister and she told her parents. Now they are yelling about we are moving to fast and that Keith is not seeing things from the inside that they are seeing from the outside. What are they seeing. They are just being nosey and paranoid. What should i do about them cause my mom seems to be fine with what we are doing. also he has moved in with me already and i am 22 and he is 21 so what is their problem. Please help with whatever i can do to ease things over with the parents.

After my husband's attack on my grandson the other day (and after filing a report), my son has come to the conclusion he's unloved, nobody wants him, and he can't do anything for anyone. He even said this: "I feel like an idiot. He told me I deserved it, he's right. I deserved it; I deserved being kidnapped; maybe even being raped."
I don't know how to convince him it's not his fault anymore.
PLEASE help me...

I have 'Marie' for a mother in law. She is controlling, meddling, and manipulative. She gives just to use it against you. She has an opinion about EVERYTHING and is always right. She loves our daughter but is driving me crazy. She cries whenever I try to say anything about it! I cant just drop her from our life but what should I do?

I have been in this wonderful relationship for a while and my son is really disrespectful. My boyfreind gets really upset with it but says nothing and doesn't want to be made out to be the bad guy,which I would never do. Should I tell him he can put his comments in and I won't say anything or do I continue to try to fix it on my own? I really don't want to lose him but in a previous relationship he went through hell. I don't want to put him throught that. I would be devistated if I lost him after being reunited after 20 years. Don't know where to turn or what to do. Just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so, I'll start from the beggining
Im 13, and me and my mom have always had a good relationship. I We tell each other everything.
Lately, she was gone on a buisness trip, and we had International Day at school. I stayed from 3 till 7 (start of Int. Day) o'clock. Some of my friends stayed too.
One guy in the class, Nick, my best male friend in the class, and went into our homeroom class and...well...we kissed. But it felt so right!
When I told my mom, she totally flipped! She said no dating/kissing/hugging guys till I'm 16!!! All my friends are allowed! Is this right? I mean, she's talking 11th grade! What do I do??? Please help me! All my friends can date!
Also, I have a stepdad. I can't argue with mom because my stepdad hits me. He'd kill me if he found out that I kiss guys at school.Both my mom and stepdad are very strict about learning, and they think that at school I should only focus on my education.
ALSO my mom has cancer and I can't worry her. What do I do?

My daughter who is three is adopted by my husband, but mine biologically. Her birth father lives out of state and has a no contact order against him because he has serious problems and has been both physically and verbally abusive to me as well as severely neglectful to her as an infant. On one occassion he took her into a bar and abandoned her and I had to go to the police station to retrieve her. (He had her for a day visit.) Yesterday, my three year old asks me if I am a kidnapper. I ask her who told her that and she said the man on the phone did. I said who's phone were you talking on and she named a family member. I am waiting until I see this family member today to talk to her about the situation, but I'm sure she'll deny having let my daughter talk to the birth father although I am sure that's what happened (The family member and birth father have mutual friends.) I hate to turn family into the authorities, but should I for the sake of my daughter?

I am 21 years old and having a lot of problems with my parents, my mom and dad weren't the ideal parents growing up, so they are trying to make up now. Well the prob is I am 21 and they won't let me make any decisions on my own, they still treat me like a little kid, my sister does the same thing to me, shes 28, and lives in another state. How can I prove to them that I am doing whats best for me? You know I don't think I turned out all that bad, I have morals, but somethimes I do let people take advantage of me. My parents sometimes treat me like crap and take advantage of me, I just want to get away from them. Now I am dating someone that they hate and say will never accept, he's older than me, and has children. I don't think I can have kids because I had a miscarraige 2 and a half years ago, so I like being involved in his kids lives. I need help convincing my parents that I wasn't born yesterday and know what I am doing, they can't protect me forever. I must learn from my mistakes.

Once a year at Xmas, my uncle has a party and invites everyone for a set time (2 hrs) When we lived in New Zealand, we were all very close and I saw my family members all the time. Now all they care about is making money and don't bother with anyone except for this Xmas party. I'm sick of it and don't want to attend anymore. It's fake and they have become a family of strangers to me, should I go?

Their extended stay means that they are no longer guests. I am stressing because I simply wanted to help them out-that's it. Not for me to be burdened. I am not used to anything like this. They aren't paying me or helping out with my bills. I just want things to get back to normal. It has been a little over two months already. Two "deadlines" have already passed and anything else was not part of the initial agreement. I didn't want to see them homeless but they are eating me out of house and home and sound mind. Suggestions? I just don't want to say the wrong things.

I don't think I can take any more, I'm fed up and I've had it up to here (points to neck!)
I feel like I have to do everything for everyone, even at work I have these balls and chains around my ankles. I feel like noone gives a sh*t about me, noone ever makes me a sodding cup of tea, never mind a meal. I don't want to make that effort anymore cos I get bugger all in return, nothing nada zilch. Not even the slightest appreciation. And I've got 2 bloody jobs, having a kid IS a fulltime job too!
How can I cope with this? I really feel like I'm teetering on the edge of something here, people have started noticing my hollow eyes and total despair! Finally! I mean I've lost weight, I'm exhausted!
And if I don't do everything then nobody makes dinner and we live in a pigsty with no clean clothes to wear and at work we don't meet the deadlines. Seriously it's like I'm the only one who cares.

she's only 10 years old, but i've found a notebook of hers which has doodles of Hilary Duff's name with hearts around it and "S. J. + H. D. 4 EVER" (S. J. being my daughter's intitials)

this seems really wrong...

should I take away her posters and dvds of hilary??
