My son was 12 and went to live with his father.I didnt want to let him go but i felt sorry for him because he never had his dad in his life and missed out on all the father/son stuff...I now know it was a big mistake but my son used to cry because he wanted to see his dad. For 2 years i said no. But later i was talking to his teacher about it and she said i should let him go or he would resent me later.....So to make a long story short his father rarely paid any of his child support. It didnt matter how many times my sons father stood him up or didnt send gifts he always acted like his Dad hung the moon. In the end his father was owing me like 10 grand in child support. When i finally decided to let him go about a year ago i had to sign custody over to his dad. We agreed that i wouldnt pay child support since he almost never (400 bucks in 11yrs.)paid. But now 1yr later he wants child support from me-thats fine i dont mind paying. But how can i get my past due c.s. he owes me or does he

what can I tell my eight y.o son who wants to call his dad who refuses to speak to him b/c of child support issues he has with me? His dad cussed me out, and told me to have a nice life raising my son on my own b/c I put him on child support . My ex has not called for 3 months to talk to his son and he won't return my messages, texts, letters, calls .

I've searched the internet thoroughly and can not find anything. My father was denounced from my mothers family and my mom later, within a year, married my dad I've always known, and had everything changed on my birth certificate.

My mom told me on my 16th bday I was adopted, 2-3 years later my dad wrote me a note talking about my real dad.

What do I do? Is there a way I can just find his pictures to see how similar I look, and learn about that side of my family and their potential health problems?

Our five year old when he is @ school is the best child ever so we've heard but @ home he spits @ us and he punched me in the back of my head in public because I did not buy apple juice, he screams at his younger sibblings that he hates them and he always will. I don't know what to do I could go on for days on more of his issues before i finish but I give up. please all advice will be considered. (within reason)

I have a 3 year old daughter. I honestly can not stand her. I don't know if it's post partum depression from my 9 month old son, but she just keeps on doing stuff that annoys the heck out of me. On top of it, her father is no better than a 2 year old himself and never tries to teach her right from wrong. I get so furious with her. No, I don't go over the top and all out beat the heck out of her, but she is just too much. I honestly feel like she needs to be sent to a boarding school where they will force her to behave and obey without intentionally destroying everything she touches and intentionally trying to injure her little brother. She likes to throw glass and she likes to try standing on her brother when he's crawling around. That's not the worst of it, this is her on a good day. I honestly can not stand her and want to send her to a boarding school, and I hate feeling this way about her. I was not raised in a family like this, and I just don't like her.

I love spending time with my kids. I usually have them for summers and holidays. Their mom was supposed to pick them up in August, but she hasn't yet because her boyfriend kicked her out( he payed all her bills) and now she is living with her friends. I still pay child support for them too.

On top of being a single dad, I am also a full time college student. And I make about 2000 a month.

TO ALL PARENTS
"I'll lend you, for a little while,
a child of mine,"He said
"For you to love while he lives
and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven
years, or twenty-two or three, but will you
till I call him back,
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and shall his stay be brief,
you'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
as all from earth return
but there are lessons taught down there
that I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crown life's lanes,
I have selected YOU.
Now will you give him all your love
-not think the labor vain
nor hate me when I come to call
to take him back again."
I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joys thy child will bring
The risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may---
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

HEARTPRINTS

Whatever our hands touch---
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern.

May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!

I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.

I do feel like it though, I feel like she just wants to get rid of me and get rid of her "problem" (me).

Well today me and my family went to a family thing. and my dad noticed that I wasn't talking to anyone, so he was asking if there was anything wrong, (I said) "no, I'm like this all the time"
(My dad said) "well your like me, I'm either too self conscious or to scared to take a risk, and if you don't take risks then it will never pay off.
So I'm both of those too, and I want to know if it's inherited or because I'v become degrading to myself because I find my self unpleasant?

My father has been emotionally abusive since I was 3.....I am soo tired of trying to keep up with his next game, or plot, or whatever. I have gotten help, but it is not working...I am too scared to talk about him. I don't know what to do to deal with this. I am getting tired and overwhelmed, I don't know how much longer I can keep up with all of the expectations and constant crap. I don't know what to do? I know that there are people much worse off than I, I don't mean to say that there aren't. I acknowledge that, I just want to know what I can do since emotional abuse is not illegal, reportable, etc.?

My brother admitted to me last night that my father has been abusing him for 2 years. My father is reckless at times, and I guess capable of abuse. I'm scared because he entrusted me with his secret. I don't know what to tell my mom and he won't do anything else until I make a desision. I can't do anything, I'm 14. Any advice?

my brother just tried to commit sucide last night. I was the one who saved his life and got him to a hospital. I am very concerned because he sayd that our father has abused him for two years (Ever since my father was taken to jail on a one-night DUI). I dont know what to say because I know that without my father we cant afford to keep up the house and stuff like that, my mom has a job but its not the best. Neither can I keep letting my bro get hurt. What should I do?

Family member has afternoon operation on Tuesday. Want to rearrange my work schedule that day so I can be there on the later part of the operation. Already have Wednesday off so I can stay home to keep an eye on her. When I tried to explain it to another family member on what I was planning to do, she doesn't understand why I can't take the Tuesday off instead of Wednesday. She thinks why should she waste her time sitting in the waiting room to accommodate me and I should be the one sitting there, not her. She thinks I don't care. Not true. What should I do?

I am 14 years old and my parents go to bed at 10:30 sometimes 11:00 and I am NEVER tired then, and there are always things on TV I want to watch. But my parents MAKE me go to bed at the same time as them. I tried talking to them about it (like actually talking calmly and not fighting) but they still wouldn't listen to me. I think i deserve to be able to stay up later and I am responsible enough to go to bed when I am tired. I don't understand because they tell me I am responsible but then they don't think I am responsible enough to live my life how I want to. Please, do you think I should be allowed up? Am i over reacting? Or does anyone have any arguements I could say to my parents to maybe chnage their minds?

She's Thai and we live in the US. The thing is, she didn't really prepare us much for American society, hasn't yet integrated into the US, and our house is run very messily/unstructured. A lot of what I learned about living in this country and progressing I've learned from my father.

I think that my mom would rather me in Thailand. She's my mother and I love her, but at the current moment I'm not liking certain things about the way that she "runs" the household.
