Family - November 2006

She says the most horrible things I've ever heard. She even told her Dad that he needed a paternity test for our daughter. The step is 21 and our daughter is 6. They've seen one another a few times, but have never developed a relationship. That might be difficult to explain to our daughter later. How do we tell her that she has a sister that is so mean that she wants nothing to do with her father's family, but comes around to see her father when he is away from our home? He tried to talk to his daughter yesterday and the conversation just blew up in his face. He wants us to get along, but isn't very firm about it. I want us to get along, but don't know how to deal with such meanness. She's called me a *****, a s1ut, and tells me that I need to leave her father alone. The worse she acts, the uglier my husband is to my 15 year old (not his child). The cycle is vicious and ugly. I don't know what to do. Do I leave him to protect the children from her and her aftermath or...?

Im a 20 year old married parent of 2 boys.. a 5 yr old and a 2 month old.. My 5 yr old is from a previous relationship.. The last 3 months my husband has been physically abusive to me.. the last time I had finally had enough and called the police after i tried to leave (got only a house away.. cause i was walking) and he dragged me and my 5 yr old back to our house by our neck.. leaving my 2 month old inside.. The police came and took my report and i got my kids and some belongings and left for a few days.. Now the cops must have told CPS and now they are investigating us.. they had come to our house and spoke to my 5 yr old and myself but my husband was not home.. she said they will be "indicating him" on neglect for leaving my 2 month alone to fight with me.. and she told me to leave anytime he gets like that.. what does it mean to indicate and what will they make him do? why "indicate" him and not me? He feels so guilty afterwards and is a great dad..y is he abusive now?

Everyone knows my sister's my dad's favorite. My brother makes strait D's well I try and get C's and B's but they dote on my brother every time he gets a passing grade. My mom is hard on me and, I think defenetly hates my grades. she's excited for my brother though.

Also, my younger brother - and sometimes my father! - go out in public with their shirts inside out. It's SO annoying. My dad wears mismatched socks, but screams at me if I go around the house with my hair not combed.

I want to move out but I cant, Im only 16. Im sick of getting yelled at. My sister can wear her hair in a mop and still be called cute because she's skinny.

ANY ADVICE ON WHAT I CAN DO? Please?

Some parents give their kids very humiliating punishments. I know a 17 yo girl that messed up, drank, joined bad crowds and got a cruel punishment. Sher has to wear rag clothes, spends every saturday and sundays doing housework, is grounded from everything she likes and has to do chores for her sister. Other parents don't go so far but resort to long and strict groundings that spoil their kids lives and emotional stabilty. Other spank, or spank and in addition give other punisments.At 14 I can't understand such things. Punishment is sometmes necessary, but if given by parents it should be out of love. Why do parents give such punishments, don't they love their kids? Harsh punishments coming from parents brings about resentment and destroy emotional stabilty, for parents should be our primary and uncontional source of love. Why is this not the case? I myself have had a strong resentment towards my parents for a year, though technically wasn´t abused. But our relationship is destroyed

From my childhood to now, I have suffered mental attacks from my parents. If I did any wrong even if it was simple I was beaten badly. I was always called names, slangs and many other which made me sometimes think to rather die than to live. I hate my paremts most in the world. My parents never gave me much support in my life, I am like a prisoner to them. If I got a B in my exam she shout at me. My parents don't seem to care about me much, they r like worse than animals who don't understamd about their own son.
I hate my life, plz someone tell me what do, how can i free myself

ok, there is this girl that I am thinking about dating but I like to take everything into consideration. The BIGGEST there is, is that my father is partly racist. The girl I am thinking about dating is black (I am white). But I don't live with my father but he likes to keep up with my girlfriends. Should I continue to go date her or try not to set off my dad and not date her? And please don't call my dad any names, I do love him for he is my father.

My partner has not been in contact with his father for a quite a few years and would like to track him down and re-establish a relationship. We know his name and where he used to live but nothing more. He will be an old man now probably without internet.

Any ideas on how to find him would be REALLY appreciated,

Thanks x

I have 2 sons with very high special needs. I have fought very hard to get away from my family and the local agencies that are trying to hep my sons are saying count on your unhealthy family more. You have expressed your concern with their(dead beat) father and are winning in court to have him removed from the children's lives but when you voice the concern with your family and the very unhealthy and abusive ways they say well there is no way else we can help you. What do I do? I am trying so hard to make life so much better but there are noo services. I am in Canada and people outside of this country would not believe the problems I am having getting help. I live in a support apartment building and I am in a new city so that I could have a fresh start but i have no one to really count on. So i do not know where to go for help when I am dealing with the best oif the best in the region... I am losing hope and I need advice! Thank you for your time!

I am writing from Italy (Rome). Grandparents in Italy are very important in the life of children (they are often considered "second parents"). If you want you can write your experience on this so I can have the possibility to know the thoughts of another Coutry.

I have a psychiatric disability and live with my parents. I am 36. I’m wondering what the disadvantages are to living with my parents. I’m not actively seeking a girlfriend. I’m not restricted physically and verbally but am wondering if being around my parents is affecting my ability to think freely. I changed my religion to Buddhist when I was largely living alone.

I have a younger sister (she is 24, I'm 26) and up until I found out I was pregnant we were quite close. We live about 10 miles apart but used to e-mail each other every week and meet at our parents once a week for a family meal but just recently she isnt responding to my e-mails and it seems an effort for her to talk to me. I dont see any reason for jelousy as she has always said she didnt want kids. I dont want our relaionship to tail off like this I love my sister a great deal - should I confront her?

Okay, so my brother is 19 and just a year younger than my husband... Hes burned bridges with everyone he knows except us... He doesnt listen or follow rules. He moved to FL with his last g/f and things didnt work out, so hes coming back here to CO... We said he could stay here, but i think Im regreting that decision.

I want to help him but dont know if I can stand him long enough for him to get a place of his own or if he will even fo that...
Im worried he will steal things and not follow our rules or even pay rent! We are giving him 2 weeks but thats a long time to deal with someone whos lazy!
I still have faith in him and that he will soon pull his head out of his a** and start taking care of things he NEEDS to take care of... But no one else in my family thinks he can or will... No one wants to help him or anything... Like I said hes done things to everyone hes lived with .... So what should we do or say to him that may make him see the seriousness of the situation???

I am really concerned about my pastor's wife. Pastor's wives are really supposed to be a different kind of person... more loving, patient, kind and helpful to the ppl of the church. For years she has been hard, cold and very cliquish... she loves to be in her little click and she is like 50 y/o. She is no kid, so she knows better. The hardest part of all is that she can't seem to stand me b/c I am sweet to her and it seems to make her be more & more hateful to me. Hard to believe she is a preacher's wife. She has many ppl she is nice to, but I am not one of them. She definitely has some issues. I pray God can help her change her heart & ways... it is hard to see this go on in our wonderful church. My dh says he knows for a fact that the pastor knows this goes on & turns a blind eye. I don't want to believe that b/c he is such a wonderful, humble man... but I wish he would step up to the plate & speak w/ her about her attitudes. What to do!? Definitely pray more for sure!
