I am 33 and I have a 36-year-old sister who is married to a man 10 years her senior. I have become very uncomfortable around him. They have been married for 6 years and have been having problems recently. This is her first marriage and his second; they have two little girls together. When the family gets together, he always greets the women in the family with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Lately, however, he has been paying more attention to me, more than what he extends to my sister. I tried to tell myself I was imagining it, but during one of our holiday meals over the weekend, I was standing in front of the silverware and he came up to get a spoon. Instead of reaching in beside me, he put both arms around my waist and pressed in really close. I said "Excuse me!" and he jokingly said, "My gift to you." then walked away.

I am a survivor of domestic violence and I can't help but see my ex in some of the things this guy does. I CAN'T say anything to my sister. What should I do??

What do parents think about a Christian based After School program for Teens to get their home work done and provide a safe program environment where they learn about faith, create meals for homeless, make friends, play sports, etc. No worries about who your child is with, what they are watching on TV or what they are doing on the internet..........

Would parents pay $3 an hour to have their teens in this environment? or what would Parents pay for this service?

Ok, My mother says that that she sent me out a gift card in the mail, and it never showed up. So, she canceled it, and had another one straight from the company sent out to me again. She is in delaware and I am in myrtle beach. What could it be? I had mentioned dell to my grandmother, however someone else told me it could be walmart. I still havent received it. I do not know the name of the company, guess I'll have to wait. Any ideas?

I am in the beginning of a divorce and preparing for nursing school..RN...It is 2 years after the core classes, I am not worried about my core classes b/c I can schedule them as needed..But nursing school is different they give you the schedule and you either sink or swim..I have to get through this b/c if not I will always struggle financially with my son. That is not the life I want for neither one of us.. His father works offshore and is gone 28 days at a time so its not like I can rely on him..I just need some help with the motivation part I guess..I know what is right and what I have to do its so scary though..B/c its hard enough for single people with out a family to take care of and here I am with all these responsabilities, which I don't regret by the way it is just I don't want to realize that maybe I am not capable of doing this!

I have a great job, great family, great friends and a fiance that lives 2000 miles from me. He wants me to move there to be with him and I am completely torn up over it because of everything I listed in the first paragraph. I really do love him and he loves me. He offered to come here and I mistakenly told him not to because I thought it would be too hard for him here to find work and because he's from the city and I didn't think he would like it.

Now I have to make the decision to move and I am so close to my parents who have no one else to help them if I leave. My fiance says I can come back anytime I want to visit but I don't know how we will afford that. I'm getting old, too! I'm 35 and I want children.

Is there anyone out there that has faced this problem? I know so many people that left the area and then came back to take care of an ailing parent. How can I leave now?

People keep telling me I have to live my life - but I feel a huge gap in my life when....

A few members of my family are visiting for the holiday and they want to go on a trip to the beach. I do not want to go out with them because I just don't feel like and further more I feel like I am always obligated to go wherever they go when they visit. I am 23 yrs old and I feel like I should be able to make my own decisions. I pay my own bills etc so I am not living with parents or anything. I am just visiting my parents as well for the holidays. My parents especially my father (its his relatives) wants to treat me like a child and insist that I go. I think they need to realize that I am grown and independent and should be free to do whatever I want. Do you think I should go and are they being fair? Thanks.

My grandmother is dying of cancer. I didn't know that she was this sick until my sister called to tell me that Hospice has come in to the home and that my grandmother is in the stage now where she can not get out of bed and her lungs are starting to fill up with fluid. I took a picture of her grandchild in for her, but I want to do something really special to let her know that she is loved. What can I do? I love her so much and I am going to miss her...

I am 14 and I live with my aunt. She is very mean. When ever I tell her my problems or what I like and don't like, she says she does not care. When I say sompthing she does not like, she says I am an A** hole, crazy son of a b----, or other names that I do not like. She hits me and my brother in the face, for no reason (sometimes) and we are usually not aloud out of the house, on the phone, or to eat what we want, when we are not hungry.

I am thinking of telling my BM, but usually when I tell her, she does not care about it. That is probably why she sent me off to live with her.

Any thing I can do? Help~~~

I'm a widow, and since I have some health issues I'm presently living at my 24 yo daughter's apartment. She's a a biologist, has a job is taking a post-graduation course. She's been very resentful of me since she was a teen, because I was a strict mom. She never understood I wanted her best and doesn't get along with me, but anyway she let me move in. I help her with the expenses, but she pays for the biggest part. Though it's her home, I think I have the right to set the rules, because I'm still her mom and she owes me respect, though she's resentful. But she doesn't agree and, in fact, she makes the rules. She doesn't do what I tell her, doesn't respect my curfews, goes out whenever she wants, brings her friends home whenever sher wants. I have no say, though I must admit I have a comfortable life. This is completely wrong, I'm her MOM and deserve respect. Last saturday she had an attitude, I tried to ground her, she just laughed. It's her home, but she's still under my roof.

So I told my boyfriends parents about him wanting to kill himself, right away they called the suicide hotline and people came to take him to a hospital place where he can get help. Today is the third day hes been there. His mom is going to go visit him tomorrow, and she invited me to come with her. I don't know if I should go because he was so mad at me, the look he gave me when they took him was so sad and angry. I don't know if he wants to see me, I think he may be better off if I don't go see him. Should I go?

I am a single mom expecting another baby. I've been in an on-and-off relationship with the father of the baby for a year now. We've had some issues to deal with in our relationship, but we are trying to work through them. At any rate, my family has never cared for the baby's father. On Christmas I spent part of the day with my family at my parent's house and part of the day with my baby father and his family. My 9 yr old daughter wanted to spend the whole day with my family. When I came back to my parent's house to spend more time with them my daughter was sad. Apparently, the whole time I was gone my mom and sister were speaking negatively about the baby's father in my daughter's presence. When I got there they got started up again, my daughter having probably heard more than what she needed to hear and then some, burst into tears.
I told them that they should not speak badly about the baby's father in front of her, because she is a child and doesn't understand.

Okay I have a bit of a problem.Maybe somebody who has been through this can help me.I have a daughter who is 18 months old.I had her from a little summer fling I had when I was 16, I am now going on 19 and her dad is 24.When he takes her, he takes her to his parent's house and stays there with her for the weekend (she is not allowed at his current girlfriends house) My problem is....His mom is an alcoholic and his Dad is a heavy pot smoker, I know that my daughter's dad smokes too.The house there is filthy and she is always returned to me in the same outfit and has not been bathed.She has only been there a couple of times and I do not want her to at all, but I have been told he has rights and I can't deny him visitation, but under these circumstances I think it would be fair for me to do so.I guess my question is, what should I do? He pays child support....He was not there for her birth though and never signed her BC,also I was told that I have Full costody of her.Please help me.

I have wanted to move from my home in Tennessee to Oregon after visiting a friend there 3 years ago. The climate was great, the oceans, mountains and forests are beautiful. The schools are a vast improvement over the failing school system where we live. On the other hand, I'm a single parent of a 4-year-old child and would not have the family support out there that I do here, and I am also worried that my son will miss his grandmother terribly. She has been an incredible help to me while I was finishing college and they are very close.
Besides those two very important issues, I'm really not sure where to start in the planning...anybody have any advice?
