Family - November 2006

A year ago, I was 12 and I wanted to go to church and hang out with my friend. I wanted to go do what kids are supposed to do, which is have fun and not worry. My dad said I couldn't go, and it got me pretty down. It usually does. I told him "thanks" in a rather sarcastic manner, and he told my mom about it when she came home from work. The next morning I woke up to a flashing light and the words "You're going to be homeschooled!" and a cynical laugh, all supplied by my mom. I thought, in that moment, that I'd lost it all. Everything had just crashed down, burned, and I was being sent to hell for trying to be someone else. All that thinking, changed me. Entirely. I did cut myself that morning. It only lasted a day, but a week later I still felt all that pain, and I decided to leave church to go get coffee with that friend. She then kept me out of school for another week, and let me back on my birthday. I don't cut, not once since then, but I still can't forgive myself. How do I?

About 2 months ago my father insisted on saving money by turning off the hot water. Our whole family has to endure cold showers everyday. My father has not let up and anyone I asked for help insists there is nothing that can be done.

She tell's him how long he can stay at our home,when he comes and brings the baby to over to our home, and if he stays longer than she's told him too, she starts texting him or calling every five mins. telling him to bring HER baby home NOW, and then when he gets home fusses until an arguement begins, then she'll take the baby to HER families home and stay as long as she wants too. She has called me names several times telling me to mind my own business.What am or should I do??

I am almost 14, and.. My mom enjoys playing God with my life. She complains about everything, yells at me, and acts like a frikkin' 2 year old. She thinks she's NEVER wrong. If I speak my mind on anything, and I mean ANYTHING, she threatens to take me out of public school and homeschool me so that I'll have no friends or socialization. She thinks it's fun to play with me like this, and she thinks it's just amazing to be in complete control of someone, but she's wrong. She complains about EVERYTHING I do. My hair, clothes, music, drawings, the way I do things, I mean it ALL. I try to not be a brat and just act civilized, but she just goes nuts with the idea of control. She wants to keep me right under her thumb, and it's really starting to bug me. What do I do?
I have told my dad, but she even gives him the "NEVER wrong" attitude. He's even admitted to me that she treats me way differently than she should.

My husband is currently making $50K a year, in a job he loves in Mississippi. Recently he was offered a job starting at $75K with full relocation in Seattle. We have two small children, so moving would not be a problem with us. HOWEVER, My parents live in Arkansas and are very protective of me, they told me that he should not accept and that we should stay where we are. They said that if we were to move, that they would never come and see us. They try and put a guilt trip on me by telling me that is something was to happen to them, health wise, that I would not be around to help. I feel trapped. I want to move and be loyal to my hubby, but I want my parents to understand that this is a great opp. for us and to accept it. What shoudl I do, serious answers only please!

My father-in-law passed away about 2 weeks ago, my husband has since cried once (that I know of). He was doing better throughout the funeral and for a few days after that and now he's angry and depressed. I asked him if he wanted to talk. Told him I am here for him and all he can say is "I don't know if I even want to talk to you". How do I handle that? How can I make him see that if he cries and talks about it things will be better?

I am ready to live on my own with him but he wants his fam to move in so they dont have to live in an apartment and pay rent anymore. with his family being there itll be just like living with my mother. i wont cook because his mom will, i wont clean because his mom will already do it. We wont have our privacy and i will feel like an intruder. it just wouldnt feel like our own house. i told him all of this and he just got an attitude with me and told me "fine so dont move in". What should i do? do u think im wrong?

Ever since I can remember my mother has told every single thing about me to every single family member and even strangers. Even private and embarrassing things. I have told her point blank I do not like this, but it is like she doesn't understand.

If I tell her something is completely a secret and not to tell anyone, she still tells my close family members. She thinks that if there is any blood relation that makes it family and makes it ok. I told her that isn't the way I feel and then she just gets mad.

I've gotten to the point where I just don't tell her anything until I want everyone and their dog to know. I feel sad about this though. Is there any possible way to get through to her?

When questions regarding the molestation of children are freely asked on this site with no apparent attempt by Yahoo to permanently remove this type of user, does it not concern you and what steps can we take to ensure that these sick people are not permitted here? While I am sure that Yahoo does suspend offenders, it would appear that the individuals are free to return after a period of time to yet again spread their vile messages.
Take a look for yourself at the example to which I am referring:

My in-laws have been pressuring my husband and i about our son's baptism. When i finally got everything lined up and we chose god-parents my father-in-law calls me and tells me that my sister-in-law is going to be upset about us not asking her to be Jack's godmother. He ask me to call her and explain to her why i chose my cousin to be his godmother and my husband chose his bestfriend to be jack's godfather. I chose my cousin because we are close,she is responsible, she is catholic. I could have asked my sister but she is already his aunt and plays a huge role in my son's life and i thought the same about my sister-in-law. I wrote a letter explaining this to my sister-in-law and she called me and told me that she does not understand why we do not want her to be part of jack's life. This is not the case at all, why can't being Jack's aunt be enough for her? I am new to this catholicism and i don't understand why people can't just accept our decisions, this goes for my in-laws also
