Family - December 2006

My parents are always focused on my older sister and my younger brother and they pay no attention to me. It kind of makes me feel invisible. What can I do to get them to notice me more?

My grandmother seemed like the only one in the world who cared. Im a 15 year old guy. But she recently passed away. I basically lived with her over the summer cause my parents weren't treating me as well as i should have. They got my brother everything and me nothing. So she took me in and gave me everything. She was a saviour. it felt like she was the only one who understood me. She treated all my grielfriends like they were her children, everyne loved her.
But on may 31st of last year, I came home to her house to noting but chaos. I was told what happened and i could feel myself being ripped apart. It took a month before i even left my house, my parents even started tratin me right. I've lost alt of weight. I'm still torn up from it. But I know shes with me. What can i do to feel better!?

Ok... I got in an argument with my dad's girlfriend earlier. My dad has been very stressed lately about work and his parents financial problems, so I've taken control over dinner and cleaning the house since she won't do it. I've always been close to my father until his girlfriend moved in 10 years ago when I was 7. Anyways, I started talking to my dad more and more every day so maybe he won't feel as stressed if he can talk about his problems. Anyway, his girlfriend said that my dad is in a deep state of depression and everytime I talk to him its killing him more and more, and if he dies its my fault. She told me that if I talk to my dad anymore, she will hit me and make it so I get kicked out of the house. My real mom used to hit me all the time, so his girlfriend is now bringing back memories that I'm afraid of. And I actually started thinking that its my fault my dad is the way he is. Is it actually my fault and what do I do about her?? Please help me.

Another thing, the man who murdered him will be tried in 2007. Because we are close knit family and the trial will be held in another state, no one from the family plans on attending. The loss was very devestating to my family, his fiancee and three small children. Is it wrong that there is no one from the family attending the trial?

Ok, I have a question about disciplining my bf's son. I was told that I can't discipline my bf's son (he's almost 10). It's not my place because I am not his mother. (I have never hit him and I never will) When I watch him and he does something wrong am I just supposed to turn my head? He has picked up my ferrets by their heads, he scares the beejeezes out of my cat, he won't do anything that I ask him to. He does this with his dad too. But if I can't discipline him, what am I supposed to do? His father (my bf) doesn't get home until about 1am, so I can't wait and have him punish him when he gets home. Most of the time he is an average hyper kid. But when he's acting up he really acts up. I'm not going to let my pets and my home be destroyed just because I'm not his mother. What am I supposed to do? My bf says that I should discipline him. But everyone else says I can't.

I appreciate that this isn't the best place for serious questions, but I need to ask this one as it is driving me nuts. (I'd be grateful if any trolls lurking here would get lost, as I'm really not in the mood for 500 pointless spam answers.)

My younger sister is scheduled for a caesarean section in a few hours time. To say she's not in the best of health is an understatement: she's an eplileptic, asthmatic smokerwith bronchitis! The problem is that she's insisting on having a general anaesthetic rather than an epidural. When her elder daughter was born via caesarean, the anaesthetic didn't work at all; obviously, she's not keen to repeat that experience.

I respect that. Still, I can't shift my own fear that it's is all going to go horribly wrong. I've looked up a load of info on the internet and, quite frankly, it has terrified me even more! Can anyone offer me any advice on how to get through the next few hours without going totally insane from worry? Someone? Anyone??

Our 13 year old daughter is out of control. We are doing everything we think we should to help her to become a productive teen and eventually an adult, however with each passing day she seems to be getting angrier.
Here's a .little history - i will keep it as brief as possible --First off her Dad left her mom when she was 3 and married me. Her mother never did get over him and said many horrible things about us to her from an early age. (like: your dad doesn't love us ) To make a long story short she played games w/ her head. A yr ago Jan. she moved in w/ us cause her mom got arrested for being under the influence of drugs. This phase was short lived but her mom pretty much abandon her after her arrest. No calls eccept my daughters appempts to reach her mom, and no way of talking to her about what it is doing to her emotionally. She is taking it out on us saying hateful things to us & her lil brothers. She has fits of rage that are uncontrolable most of the time. WE NEED SOME HELP??

She's having an affair with a married man. Almost everyone in the family knows about it except for my dad. I don't have the courage either to tell my dad about it because of fear that he might do something bad to us and to my mom. My mom is working abroad but she came home this december with the guy to have a vacation. I'm finding it hard to adjust and I can't forgive myself for always lying to my dad. Please help

For Christmas my grandma gave me, my mom, and my aunt and uncle a $50 to Wal-Mart. Well my mom just got a new job and she has lost a lot of weight and needs clothes that fit her. We were talking about it and she said that she needed new clothes and all she had was $50 to get them.So I gave mine to her. I went back into my room and being really jerkish i asked for it back. She gave it back but said that that was the lowest thing that I had ever done.
I have been trying to give it back because I feel so bad and she is deserving of tht gift card. What can I do that will make her take that card. 10 points to the first person to make that happen. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a father as done abuse to a child and now a psychiatrist as come into the picture well when i took my child to the session for this lady to evaluate the two together she let the father bring my child a toy at first do you think that she should have done that, because i dont, there should have been no toys brought in by the father who as done abuse on the child, that just made it worse, the child was of course happy to see the father because he had brought a toy, and i just want to know do you think it was right for this psychiatrist to have allowed for the father to have brought a toy into the evaluation of the two together.

My 16 yr old has always been difficult..I have had him in counseling since he was 10 and he spent almost 2 yrs in a Military type shelter for difficult children. I visited him every weekend while he was in the shelter 2 1/2 hr drive one way. He has terrible grades and is often suspended. The principal will not let him in the regular school because he is disruptive in class. He is currently in alternative school 4 hrs a day. They would kick him out but they labeled him Special Ed. He smokes etc and has no allowance or work because he won't do anything to earn $
He will be moving in with his brother who is FT military.
I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. He opens the windows in the middle of winter, Leaves doors unlocked etc. Any simple task he refuses to even try to do right.
I take him to hockey games, movies, races, rodeos, concerts etc. I am really hurt he doesn't want to behave. I don't want to give this burden to my other son but don't know what to.
