I have a wonderful 13 year old son named Steven, who is just the joy of my life. For the past few months, he's been a penpal with an older 49 year-old gentleman named Walter who's currently encarcerated in the Alabama State Prison. I think my son got Walter's address off of one of those prison penpal websites.

He and Walter have become fast and dear friends, they write to each other all the time. In fact, the other day Steven told me that Walter wants him to visit him at the prison. I think this would be a great opportunity to meet his friend.

The only problem is that I can't drive Steven 60 miles to the prison. I have a demanding career at the Piggly-Wiggly and can't take the time off (I'm a single-mom). Steven told me that he could take the bus, but I'm just afraid that he's too young to ride all that time by himself on a bus.

I'm afraid he'll get lost. Do y'all think that a 13 year old is old enough to ride the bus alone for 2+ hours

My mother drinks from the moment she's awake until the moment she's asleep. She has tried AA for a year, that caused her to drink much more. It's gotten crazy since she has gotten a payout, now she's a drunk with money, and the most popular woman at the pub. She is slowly getting sicker and sicker. How do I help her?? Watching her is killing me inside. who else has been in this situation???

I HATE holidays and my family and friends are pressuring me into doing things. I really don't want anything for christmas but then they get all mad and I don't like celebrating things since my Grandpa died because it just isn't the same with out him. I am also afraid of getting to deep into relationships, so I've broken all them off within a week because I'm afraid to lose again and I'm sick of crying myself to sleep everynight and nobody noticing that somethings wrong. I want to talk to someone but I can't with anyone in my family and none of my friends seem to care, don't have the money for a therapist, so got any ideas of who i could talk to?? please help

My parents for some reason don't have much money anymore and things are really tight around here now. I'm not used to not being able to get things or having to live in a penny pinching lifestyle. My parents are getting upset with me because I don't get it and right now I'm so confused and don't know how to handle this anymore. I don't know my question. I guess it's just that I'm confused about how to handle this situation.

My sister is a really good person, I think she doesn't want to be a parent. She has 3 children, she's been seperated from her husband for about 3 years now so she is considered a single parent. The problem is, she is raising her children just like our mother raised us. With a lot of yelling and whoopings. I know a lot of you probably don't agree with the whooping part so let's just deal with the other issue. Her daughter is very hard-headed, and difficult, but the only way my sister responds is by yelling at her and it's ruining her daughter. I live with them now, so I try to intervene a lot by dealing with my niece myself. But it's her child, not mine. My mother recognizes that it is because of how we were raised as to why my sister acts this way. I managed to recognize that and change that about myself with my children, but my sister is not dealing with it that way. I want to talk to her about it without hurting her, but I don't know how. I love them so much, I just want it to change

I borrowed $ from my grandma for daycare for my 2 kids. She said that she would pay for two months, and I need the second month pretty soon. asking her the first time was so nerve racking and her memory isn't that great anymore ... I have to ask her again, and I am just as nervous. I hate borrowing money but I have no other choice ... any advice?

I have an unbearably cute picture of my little one to send with this year's Christmas cards. Is it intrusive -- or bad in any way -- to send cards to my former in-laws? I'm not on great terms with the ex, but I adore his family. (I haven't had reason to speak to his grandparents in over a year. His mom sends me holiday and birthday cards. And I'm in pretty regular contact with my ex-sisters-in-law.)

with a girl that lived 500 miles away. We have always been close and I cant believe he moved away to be with her. He moved back to our home with her and left again to her town- moved back again and is now moving back to her town again. I feel so heartbroken and I will miss him so much.
I can't help but to resent the person that introduced him and her. She and I also used to hang out but she no longer calls.
I don't know if I am wrong for feeling this way - or how to get over it. I will miss him so much and I don't have anyone else that close to me to talk to or hang out with.
the lst time he moved - I was very sad and depressed for months.

I had a baby two months ago. My mother in law seems to have to take contol and its like its her child and not mine. I know shes just being a grandma but she goes as far as holding him,feeding him.changing him..and not asking me or anyone else if we would like to hold him or anything she just does it all. So when I am around her which is almost always I know for that time I wont get a chance to hold or change or feed him because she has to be the one that does it. Also I really hate it when she has to give him a 4-5 oz bottle every hour everytime he crys. I try to explain to my husband that she cant do this,and that babies cry but that doesnt mean they are hungry each time they do..is this right for me to think this and what can I do about all of this?

Christmas is always stressful for me because of money. I haven't been able to work for a while because of a medical condition plus I'm a college student so I'm already poor. So basically all my saved money is gone, and my credit cards are practically maxed (my bfs birthday was last week). My mom told me to quit my job earlier in the fall due to the stress affecting my health. She said she would rather give me money than have me work and suffer from it. But now I need money and whenever I bring it up she just makes me feel guilty. She has the money, my family isn't struggling. Whenever my older brother calls her he asks for money and she shells it out. So why is it different for me?

I'm trying to figure out what to get my dad for Christmas. I'm on a $50-75 budget (which is flexible), but I'm having trouble thinking of something creative to get him! He likes:

-Movies, both DVD's and in the theatre (but I don't want to do a movie basket, I do one every year!)
-Classic Rock (The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Miller, etc. He also has an Ipod Nano)
-Classic Cars and Porsches
-Football

Suggestions, anyone? Your help is appreciated!

I have been going out with my gf for almost 2 years. She is a wonderful woman and I like her a lot. We don't argument too much. When there were problems, we talk it out really and it get resolved shortly.

The only problem I have with her is her family. Other than her mom, the rest of the family are mess up. Her father, who think he is the king because he pay for the rent. Always complaints and would not do anything to help out the family. Her older sister, who is married, and treat her own family (not her husband and his family) like second class citizens, or should I use slavery. Her younger bro, who is a copy of the father, the different is he sit at home playing computer games all day and does not respond to anything. The only time you see him out of the room is for food and for the bathroom.

I ignored them most of the time. But when I have to deal with them, I get into a fight w/ gf. I have consider breaking up but don't think it's worth it. I need help on this.
