Family - November 2006

Earlier today my uncle smacked my brother with a book and I think he got hit a couple times to so I told my mom about it and she said, "Oh, he probably deserved it."

He was reading a book and didn't cause any trouble, she knows he has an abusive past and is scared of everyone, and my uncle just made him more scared by hitting him with the book. He has a nice, black eye now, and I took a picture of it to document, and my mom just doesn't care. Now what should I do - try and tell my dad or the police? My brother is 16, I am 17... Help!

I was brought up by an alcoholic prostitute.I was often left for weeks at a time, family knew but turned a blind eye. I had to survive. I learnt pretty quick. I'm now 30, with 2 kids, work full time, very happy with my man. My 'mum' now wants to make it up to me. I have contact with her cos of my kids. Apparently, she saved her earnings, has lovely home, fab car, villa in Spain. I hate her soooo much. Crying right now. I know I need counselling, have no time. How do I get counselling? Where? I have younger sisters who had a totally different life.They think she is fantastic.I wish she was dead. I saw way too much, way too young for me to forgive her. She wants day to day contact with me. Am I wrong to shun her? Family tell me I should give her another chance. I can't forget, my God I wish I could. They are making me feel like I'm the one with the problem. My fella says I should forget she exists but, you only have one mum and all that. I don't want my kids not knowing their nan.

If you knew me or saw me you would think I have the perfect life... the truth is I don't. I´m really messed up my parents pressure me like hell, not only with school but with sports and even after all that my mom expects me to go out and have a boyfriend (which I don't because all boys dump me because I have no time to see them) I'm really kinda depressed what should I do?

as far as i could remember, i think when i was 4 years old, my mom would phisically abuse me almost on a daily basis. she'd beat me so hard that i constantly had bumps and bruises all over my body. she would warn me to not tell my father or i would get it again. so i never said anything of course. it was not until age 13 that or 14 that she stoppped becuz i was getting stronger and i pushed her back off me and told her to stop. i am 32 years old now and she died about 7 years ago. when she did die i was sad of course becuz she is my mother but at the same time i felt she was never really a good mother to me. i'm not sure how i should feel about this but it pops in my mind sometimes.

Years ago, my Father-in-law remarried, and his new wife refused to let him have anymore to do with "his" family because SHE wasn't welcomed into the family the way she thinks she should have been. Over the years, my hubby has tried to have contact with him, but SHE always stepped in and put a stop to it. Anyhow, we just found out 2 months ago, that she put him in a nursing home. We found out by "coincidence". She never notified his family at all. Well, today, hubby went to the nursing home, and signed his father out for a few hours to spend some time with him, and take him to dinner. His wife somehow found this out, and ordered the nursing home to have him returned IMMEDIATELY!! They tracked my hubby down, and told him to bring his father back. So he did. When he got back, they told him that SHE (his father's wife), has left STRICT orders, that he is not permitted to see his father again!! What would be the next step to take? What is my hubby's legal rights?? Can she do this???

Earlier this morning my mother yelled at me and said some really mean things and my sister was in on it too and i just got home for Thanksgiving break from college she called me a liar and a bunch of some things that hurt my feelings but i didnt say anything back to her for the first time cuz i was in shock that she would say all those things to me.. so i went on facebook like i always do and i updated my status..and my status said that "Dominique is realizing the EXACT reason she wanted to get away from her family in the 1st place..forget a Thanksgiving dinner i'll rather eat alone back at Illinois State." My sister went on her facebook account and my ma wanted to see my page for the first time and thats what she read...and she asked me about it and i said yep i'll rather eat alone than with yall and she was like that hurt my feelings and i was like thats nothing compared to how u made me feel earlier...for some reason she always fail to realize that i have feelings too..am i wrong?

Mommy Please Don’t Cry
By: Kenny P. aka- Cobra


I don’t remember how I got here,
Or why, I’m up above.

But I know I’m not alone,
In this place I’m speaking of.

I just want you to know,
that I’m doing fine, in this perfect place.

so try not to cry, and worry too much,
Because I’m in His hands, and in His loving grace.

So remember these words I say to you,
and promise me, you’ll carry on.

I’ll always be your loving daughter,
and I’ll be here, you’re whole life long.

It wasn’t your fault; this I know is true,
so never think, you could have changed it.

just remember, all the years we shared,
and that I’ll always be, in your loving spirit.

In my entire life I have never taken a balloon in front of my parent and my sisters. I always wanted to share the joy of holding a balloon with them. Somehow I just don't have the courage to do it. I don't know why. Perhaps I am afraid about the way they might think like I am childish or something. I have already gotten over the problem with my friends but not with my family.

Yesterday, I saw a woman giving out a balloon at a carnival. As much as I wanted to take it, I had to bear the consquences in my mind. In the end I did not take it. I went home full of regrets.

Pls advice me on how to get over this thanks

I have seen it and my kids have too. What should I do? It mostly comes out abou noon and at night. It's a woman in a long dress and she has a little boy that runs around in our hallways. Sometimes we hear what seems like a ball bouncing in the upstairs hallway. I need help!

This is going to seem really strange but I need a way to say sorry to my Mam and my Brother. I have upset them for reasons I can't go into but it was on a pretty big scale. Now my Mum has said that she is not very happy with me and wants me to stay out of her way and my Brother is not letting me see my nephew (who is only 7 months old)

I feel really bad about what I have done but I need to put things right before christmas, it'll be awful without them.

PLS HELP!
Thnx

My brother, who we adopted, had been abused. Everyone in our family knows this and is careful to make sure we don't take him down the wrong path. Today I realized that my uncle hit him two or three times in the past TWO DAYS!! Then today he hit him for no reason while he was READING A BOOK! He just grabbed the book, took it, and whacked him in the eye, saying, "You don't deserve to be reading this." No-one was in the room but me (and I wasn't exactly in the room.)

What should I do? The poor kid is already scared of everything and everyone - I'm lucky if I can get four sentances in a day out of him.

HELP!

ok i love my mom but she is way to over protective. I'm 16 and she won't even let me go out on a date with a group! She keeps trying to tell me what she thinks is right for me and for my future. She wants me to grow up get married and have kids. Someday I want that but first i want to travel and see the world and live a little. I've tried explaining this to her but she doesn't want to listen or understand. Heck I've even tried to go to a therapist and try and work with her but she is so close minded. I want so badly for her to accept that i'm me and not someone she wants me to be.

He doesn't want anything to do with them. Every year we go there and it's a mess. All they do is fight with each other. My kids refuse to go with us anymore and my husband has decided that we should all just skip it and avoid the drama. My husband is the only normal one in the bunch (seriously), his family is full of domestic abusers, drug addicts, most of them are on welfare, the women have baby after baby with different men and then let the kids run wild, and they are just generally MESSED UP. I honestly don't know how my husband turned out normal, but he is amazing, and I am afraid that someday he will regret cutting off ties with them. I do get really tired of them screwing up their lives and then coming to us for money or whatever else they need...but still...they are his family....what would you do? (My husband loves my side of the family and fits in with them perfectly...it's just his that he no longer wants anything to do with.)
