I found out I have a seven year old son a few months ago. The mother or I knew until his hair turned blonde and we got a dna test. We were so happy when we found out I was his dad. The mother and I have rekindled our relationship even though we live in different states, due to her and I being in the military. My son is confused because he thought another guy was his father for 7 years and now he knows I am. I try and get down to see him and his mother a couple times a month and we get along great, but he still thinks his mother and her ex will get back together. The mother and I plan on getting together when the divorce is over. We want to build a strong foundation for the family, but is hard with her ex. For our sons sake we still let him see his thought to be father every so often, but I think it is making it worse. We are doing it for Josh not for the ex, because I think the ex thinks if he sticks with our son he might have a chance with the mother. What can I say to our son. Help

sense is that most families are a source of stress, burdens, demands, and more often then not, rob people of their freedom to be authentically who they are via judgement, etc. so why would that be a good thing?

(Im using my bro's account because I don't have one) <--------- just a notifacation

Ok the situation is:
My mom lives in an apt. with my lil bro. A 33 year old dude also lives there. He is not related to me in anyway. He has been living there for about 2 years. My mom is still married with my dad which is living with me in another country.

Me and my eldest brother live in another country. My little brother lives in usa with my mom and that dude.

So, My mom says that she doesn't ever do IT (you know what I mean) with him. I truely belive she is lying. I got lots of proof.

So about a year ago my little brother wanted to come here because that guy always yells at him and sometimes pull his ear. My mom said that that guy never hit my brother. But agian I belive she is lying.

So, today I talked to her over the phone and that guy told her something and she told me to call back tommorow.
I need to get all that suff out of my head!!

This stuff is killing me!!!

Ok i was adopted at 2 by my father and mom. They divorced when I was 4 and she re-married. That is the man that raised me as his daughter and cared for me. My legal father never paid child support or ever tried to come and see me and we lived in the same town most of my time growing up. Birthday and Christmas presents were always dropped off at my grandmothers and our phone number and address, he alway had. I got a call tonight that he dies this morning and I really don't know what I should do. One part of me says fight for everything he has and sell it to make up for all the money he never paid, and one side of me says drop it and go on. What would you do in this situation? I'm at a loss.

every time i go visit for my vacation. she needs 24/7 care and i did do it last year for my vacation so she could spend time with my daughter that she rarely gets to see. this year they were upset with me cuz i couldn't make the trip to visit them so that i could give them all a break from taking care of her. they also want me to put my life on hold and take care of her full time for a pittance. they don't seem to realize that i have a family now (i'm a single parent of 2) and bills to pay. what they are offering to pay me is not enough!! i love my grandmother to death but i just can't do it. am i wrong for feeling this way?should they expect me to use my vacation time taking care of her?

We are on a tight budget this year, so give suggestions that are not overly costly, like WITHIN $50 USD, all we know is she loves to play bingo and already has a lot of bingo dabbers. Also she loves her 6 and 4 year old granddaughters...and spends lots of time with them. She likes baths, but she might have a lot of bubble bath liquids....help!

Ok so, my mom and dad were never married when they had me. When I was born my dad left, married another woman, and had two kids with her. He joined the army and moved to Texas. He was never really around for 15 years of my life. I would get few calls from him, few birthday cards, christmas cards, etc. He only came to visit a few times. Last year I got to see him for the first time in 4 years. I went back to TX with him for a week to vistit with him and my brother and sitster. At the end of Feb. he moved back to this state. Since then we have grow so close to eachother. I found it in my heart to forgive him and give him another chance. We have gone to games, movies, parties, etc. Now he has a girlfriend and the thing is, she's only a few years older than me. I'm 16. That bothers me a little. What bothers me the most is that whenever she's around, I feel like she gets more attention. I want my dad's attention, but can you blame me? He was never there for me. I feel bad. What do I do?

I met my dad in May of 2005. We had a DNA test and he told me he was my dad but I didnt ask to see the results. He then quit talking to me for no reason in July of 2005. When I went to get the test results, the testing center wouldn't let me see them since I'm a minor. He has 2 other sons that he also does not talk to. I have contacted them but they seem to have very little interest in me since they hate Dad. I havnt spoken to either one since April. They seem to want to see paperwork prooving he is my dad, which I can't get. Mom (who i do not live with) is tring to get him to take another test and pay child support. I dont want the money and plan on giving him back the checks. But he wont ever show up in court. What can I do? I am 17 and I will be 18 in May. I think I will loose a lot of right when it comes to forcing him to take another test. I have already posted a letter on his door and spoke a friend of his on the phone several times.

am i just an exception? I am a middle child I have an 2older brothers and 1oldersister 2 younger brother and 1younger sister. I hate it whenever someone tells me I'm experiencing the "middle child syndrome". It's like as if they know everything about being a middle child.

I felt like I was the blacksheep so to speak amongst the children. . Just that my parents thought I was so hard to get along with - at least that was what my mom used to tell me. That my siblings were easier to talk to. I felt too that I was the one assigned with the most chores. I did not get along well with my mom - we had frequent arguments - we just clashed. I know I can't say I wasn't loved or taken care of. But I knew I wasn't the favorite either.

I wasn't a mediator among us. Actually they used to gang up against me when we were little. I am an achiever, same as my other siblings. I tried to excel in whatever I did primarily because it felt good and it had effects on my future but not necessarily so my parents would take notice of me. I wouldn't say I'm a loner. I enjoy moments of solitude yet I also enjoy being around close friends and family.

What would you do if you had very little family and what family you do have is all screwed up? My mom and my younger brother are both drug addicts, my other brother is an alcoholic, and my dad left when I was 3 yrs. old; I am 40 now. I have 3 kids and I am divorced and my kids prefer to spend holidays with their mom who has 50 plus extended close family members who spend holidays together. The last Thanksgiving I had with my mom and 2 brothers we had burnt Turkey, mashed potatoes that were like water, and spoiled whipped cream on top of pumpkin pie. We all got sick that night. I do not have any other family and most of my friends are out of state for one reason or another. Holidays can be very depressing since I have spent the holidays alone for the past 5 years.

Is today's society chasing away good fathers, making men afraid to be Daddy? Is it really worth it to raise children in a single mother home if the father is a really good father? I am turning in a research paper Tuesday...what do you think?

My parents divorced about 11 years ago after 35 years of marriage. Holidays, are nothing any of us can look forward to, even though my sister, brother and myself are all in our early 40's. No one gets along at the holidays, everything is fragement, and regardless of what is done, the other parent accusses us of being parchial to the other. My brother is a dictator, I have had a Staph Infection called MRSA, his 22 month old daughter has one as well. He blames me for her getting it, and I haven't been around here since I was first diagnosised 5 months ago. My sister and I were on the phone a little while ago and we both are crying because our family is so damn screwed up. I'm so unhappy, and have had trouble, lots of trouble sleeping lately due to all the turmoril and friction with in the family. My husband says it's crazy and has suggested we simply stay at home Thanksgiving and have our own meal, just the two of us. I can't stand my brother, love my sister dearly. Help

Her pay check was in there ( she had cashed it) and so were all of her credit cards and insurance cards.Someone already started using her cards. She was going to pay the house note with that money and now its gone. Now we are probably not going to have a christmas and she already started drinking for the night so she will probably walk around drunk and depressed for the whole night.NOW she is saying that she is going to ask my stepdad to move out.She said that he isnt supportive of her ( it's true).This has happend many time befor but i seriously think it's going to happen now.She said the only reason she has been staying wither him the past few months were for financial reasons , without him she would be able to pay the bills but we sont be able to haveextra things like cable and we wont get new clothes probably once a year we would only get a couple of clothes.I know this sounds selfish but thats all i can think about.IknowIcanAlwaysGetAJobButMyMomWontLetMe.IHateMyLife.

My ex- daughter-in-Law is keeping my Grandson away from me. We were very close and I was told that she has tought him to hate me! I saw him the other day and he wouldn't even look at me his Mom was with him, I was always good to his Mom, I even took her side when she divorced my son my Grandson's Dad. Has this happened to any one here? Do you ever want to call or write your Grandma to see if it is true what your Mom says?
