Family - November 2006

My parents grounded me from everything a couple months ago, and now i did one little thing and now i've "crossed the line".

But my parents did something really weird: they gave everything back to me. They said i can have ALL of my privileges back, as long as i act like an adult. I have to do my own laundry, pay for my own lunch everyday, pay for everything i want, and help pay the bills. But I'm only fourteen and I can't afford of this stuff and i can't get a job.

But the bigger question i have is... Should i do what my parents say and do all the stuff I want to do? Which means like talking on the phone and going out and stuff. Or are my parents testing me? Do they expect me to keep acting like I'm grounded, and that makes me more responsible? Will they finally make it back to normal again when i act more like an adult? I'm confused...

I am away at college but almost every weekend my mother calls me telling me that my younger sister has snuck out the house or that she has refused to come home. I do not understand this because she has a 4.2 grade point average and she has offers from ivy schools and it just seems like she is trying to ruin her life.

There seems to be nothing my mother can do to control her terrible behavior. She can't lock her up in her room or use physical force. And grounding her is pointless because she just sneaks out as soon as my mother goes to work. Does anyone know what kind of programs there are in place or what steps she can take to let my sister know the seriousness of her actions? What can the police do?

I left my ex 3 years ago. I now live with my 29 year old daughter and granddaughter. My ex continues to do everything for them. My daughter takes full advantage of this. He drives my daughter as she is attending courses during the day, etc. I told him to get his own life and stop doing so much for her but he won't listen to me and she gets angry at me. He will do errands for her - run to the bank, etc., anything she wants. He is contantly calling her and the baby just to talk. I don't mind him having contact with them but not like this!! It's ok now because I'm not dating but what if I had a boyfriend. I guess I would have to move out. I will NEVER go back with him, if anything, this has made me hate him.

Why are they against it? I don't understand what they big deal is. I have Type 1 Diabetes which means that it's never gonna go away unless they come up with a cure. Stem cell research is on the border line of finding that cure, so I really don't understand why everyone is against it!!!

Hello, everyone?

I need your help for me to build up the courage to tell my mom about my brother doing stuff to me last night.
I'm not exactly sure of what to say. I am so embarrassed.
But last night my brother was in the living room and I came in from going out with my friends to the movies it was probably about 9pm.
My brother was there on the couch like he was waiting for me. And it was really dark. I asked him what was he doing in the dark and where mom was. He came up to and said she left to go and pick my sister up from grandma's.
So I kind of freaked out knowing of what might be in his mind [from past expiriences]
He then started telling me stuff about how I know that I want him, and that I'm denying it when I say it's sick.
He then confessed to me that he did indeed suck my on breasts the other night. And says that he also tried fondling my clitorus. And that I'm a real heavy sleeper.

IM VERY TERRIFIED OF MY BROTHER. I WANT TO RUN AWAY. HES A MONSTER.

Is it just me, or is it really really really annoying when people talk 'baby' to smaller children - like sing songing, etc. I always try and speak to each person in the same way ( from my grandparents to youngest cousins). I do agree that i cant use that same words for the different ages but i still think that I should show the same amount of respect and maturity to each group. How about you?

When gay groups have cried loud enough, their (sexual) dometic partners were granted healthcare benefits, as if they were married (laugh). Now if my mother is living in the same home, under the same roof, why can't I claim her on my insurance? She is relation to me by blood. Perhaps if I claim incest type of relationship it will work for her getting insurance. Give me your thoughts. Thank you

I need some advice. I am a teenager and my mother behaves in a very strange/unusual way and I need to understamd why. Can anyone help? my mum hardly ever goes out of the house...apart from when she occasionally goes shopping..but even then it's ussually almost always to the same place. Also she goes for walks to the forest..but she always chooses to go purposefully when their are hardly any people and says that she hates it when there are lots of people about (she looks irritated/slightly annoyed when she says this) also she doesn't really have any friends to be honest and ahe doesn't go many places. Also when other people come around to the house, for example if someone is delivering a parcel she will put on a sort of false, bright, polite act and it's not how she normally is at all. Also...she never answers the telephone. my dad aways has to and I have never really known her to phone anyone other than her relatives and a few others. She also never really takes me out anywhere or teaches me about the world. she hardly seems to know how to raise me/what to say to me and she is quite cold at times. She doesn't get on with my dad very well neither now...the family is getting less and less normal..they don't sit down at the table to eat..etc..and they practically don't talk/live in different corners of the house. I simply going back to what I was talking about wondered why she behaves in this way...
My mum won't really tell me much about her past..she gets very angry if I ask too much about it..and I get so scared I dare not ask her anything else in the end.
I have asked my dad about my mum's past and he said that there was physical fighting in the house, that my mum's mum was always nasty and threatened her with knives and stuff (may have been if she wanted to go out on occasions) and my mum told me that she couldnt even concentrate on her schoolwork things were so bad in the house.(my mum never even went to college and doesn't even have the slightest clue what university is) I have also noticed that although her grades were good in school she doesn't seem to know very much about the world. someone told me that she just married dad to get out of the abusive situation at home.
I NEED YOUR ADVICE!!!! WHY do you think my mum hardly ever will go out of the house now/won't meet people/doesn't have any friends/doesn't phone people/is anti-social (severely) I REALLY NEED TO KNOW. i have tried asking her but she went mad and she was terrifying. I am too scared to ask her...she denies she has a problem..she says (and so does my dad) that she simpy just doesn't like meeting people. ....but to me that doesn't really make any sense...there has to be a reason.CAN ANYONE OUT THERE provide e with any sort of answer as to why they think my mum behaves as she does?? The reason I need to know ois that it is starting to severely effect my life...e.g. I am not learning people skills or really getting brought up properly. t would really help me if I could UNDERSTAND WHY she behaves like this. can anyone help me? I am a teenager.

Remember being a teenager? I do...i am only 21 and i remember being so mean and hateful to my mom....we used to have these screaming arguments and i thought that she was ruining my life and i hated her and blah blah blah.....but i have a son that just turned 1 and another son due in Dec...and i feel so much love for my mother. Was it becoming a mother myself that made me realize how much she actually cared/cares for me??? she wasn't trying to ruin my life....why dont we see that when we are teenagers?

I lived with my brother after I graduated from college for about 5 mos, but during those 5 mos, he was verbally, emotionally and physically abusive so I moved out. He almost strangled me, and wouldn't let me use the phone or the computer all that time. I couldn't turn on the lights at home, and he would leave me in the house without food nor the ability to take myself to the market since it was driving distance.

That was six years ago. I recently found out he got married and his wife had a baby. Should I try to get to know her by opening myself to her by sending his wife a gift?

We live in the same state however, they live 6 hours away from me. What would you do if you were in my situation? Thanks for your comments in advance.
