Family - December 2006

I am very disturbed because of my in laws interference in my life. I am pregnant and feel very alone and insecure as my husband just listens to his mom. My father in law is very abusive towards all of us including my mom in law and I dont wish them during my pregancy and early time of kids raising. But my mom in law continuously tries to convince my husband with all emotional tricks that being a good son he should take care of his old age father and he should be allowed to stay with us for the sake of kids. Also, we should remain cool and calm for any of his behaviour to give him mental peace. And my husband also ensures her to come and stay with us and tells that parents are more important to him than his wife and parents has always a better right over the son than his wife. So, I dont see any scope to talk with my husband as he will never understand my worry that it's very tough to live in constant tension when my in laws will be around.

My son's father recently checked himself into rehab, which is GREAT! (We are not together now and haven't been since before my son was born...) and my son is wants to spend Christmas with his Dad, but he can't. My son is 10, and his father does not want him to know. How do I handle the situation with tact and respect? I try not to be negative with my son at all about his dad.

I am very dipressed with this situation. My father in law is very abusive and agressive towards all of us in our family. So, i dont wish that he comes and stays with us. But now, my mother in law tries to convince my husband with her emotions that she wants to be with her grandkids and as my father in law is very abusive towards her, it's his son duty to keep him happy in all condition. So, She expects that my husband should explain me that I should forget the things happened in past and should adjsut with my father and mother in laws if i have real love for my husband. I am very much worried as my husband just listens to his Mom and he many times assures her by telling that she is more important to him than myself. So, I dont see any chance that he will restrict my father in law to stay with us and i already suffered a lot in past because of them. Please, help me out.

Well, my brother whom I've not seen in years just arrived today and I was very glad to see him again. Although, he seems to talk more to my other brother than me. It's like as if he's treating me like I was invisible. Usually he just says a sentence or two to me and then he and my brother start talking for ages. They are both 20 + years old and so they probably talk alot since they have alot in common. At this moment, he and my brother are at a pub while I'm at home alone. Tommorow, they will go out together and do some shopping. As I'm only 13 years old, it hurts to see my brother just forget about me like that. He'll only be here for the holidays and he's already starting to forget about me. I feel so sad and maybe jealous. I've not seen him for over 10 years and I was so excited to see him today but now my hope is crushed. What should I do? I don't want to pester him and seem annoying. Help!

Have you ever had the feeling,that you just want to give it all up? That your in love with a girl, who probably hates you? But you can't stop, because you have something in you no one else has. You have to keep going, no matter how hard life may seem. Is it worth it? Is it worth it, to wake up everyday and look in a mirror and hate what you see? Is it worth it to spend the holidays alone? Only because you choose to be alone? I ain't got **** in this world, but all I want is a home. No I'm not suicidal, no I'm not gonna kill myself, and no I'm not going to kill other people. I just wanna know...is it worth it?

By the beginning of this year my daughter messed up. She's always been a very good girl, but, I couldn't understand why, she joined a bad crowd and did some wrong stuff. She apologized but got punished anyway, I got very disappointed and it took me some time to trust her again. Much more than the punishment, this hurt her really bad, made her suffer a lot, to an extent I couldn't realize then. Now I think I really exaggerated, she was just an excellente girl that messed up. But she got extremely resentful, could never get over it. We had a wonderful relationship and it was destroyed. She says I didn't act as a mom, I couldn't understand she is human and may make mistakes like anyone else. Well, now it happened to me. I made a mistake, she trusted me and I broke her trust, and it was my fault. I apologized, she just said a cold OK. But in her eyes I could read "you didn't forgive me, a girl, and now you, an adult, do something worse and want my trust". How can I save our relationship?

No one else in the family will take him for the week..of course my BF dosent know why.So hes coming here. He is disrespectful to me quite often. My BF overindulges him,and is in denial about his problems, just blames everyone else.(see my other ? for details if u want) He goes to therapy sporadically.Anyway, I have just been avoiding him when he is here.I am realing more and more my BF is causing a lot of this, and I am close to asking him to move.There is no way I can say he cant come here, he has no other place to go. I know my BF should move out and deal with him, but right now I am just worried about next week.Before you call me selfish, realize he has been physically aggressive toward me in th past

All of my life, my parents and I had these fights and arguements, and they all end up with them saying that I don't understand anything. Also, they all end up stating as to what my mother says; that I am a messed up kid with no goals in life. You can all see why I don't want to cause and make trouble for anyone with my experience of being a screw up and a mess up all at once.

My 15yr old stepson has just been "asked" to leave his 2nd school in the space of 8 months. He has been in trouble with the police for possession of A Drugs, so basically no school will touch him and he has effectively finished his education. He has no respect for anyone, has a smoking habit that I abhor, disappears for days on end on "benders" and refuses to even pick his filthy clothes up off his bedroom floor.

His mother is scared of him. Although he hasnt been violent to her, he refuses to assist in any way around the house, does what he wants, when he wants, and expects her to sit up, sometimes all night, in case he comes home and needs letting in. Me and him now have an "understanding" that he speaks to me when he is spoken to, as I cannot even abide looking at him any more.

We are moving in 2 weeks and 3 weeks after that I am due to go to Iraq. I think it would be better for all parties for him to live with his grandparents who have offered to house him. Opinions?

Why dont I love my parents? Maybe because I dont talk to them...When I tell my mom my hopes and dream about acting all she says is "Mag-aral ka nalang" which means "Just study". But I do study..Well not at home at school I listen to my teachers and I learn it automaticly and remember it. and I dont talk to my dad, I barley even see him. and I cant tell them how I feel because all the'll say is "nag dadrama ka lang" which means its just a phase. and can a "Phase" last 11 years?!?!? maybe this is why I got kicked out of my old school, because I was too depressed that I had no energy at all to study harder. I dont even thing they love me, All Im getting from them for christmas is 1000 pesos which is like which is like $10.25!! and I like talk back at them In my head. and when my mom is pissed off shes mean to me.like talks to me in an angry voice and talks to my brother in a sweet voice a second later!! and somtimes my sister wakes me up in the middle of the night and asks me to print.

my brother conned my mother out of a good amt of money several years ago. He believes himself to be a good hard working person. I reminded him of this telling him he's not the superior person he believes himself to be do you think he might get a conscience and offer to repay my mother or at least say sorry?

OK,
My little brother is 15 years old and we used to be really close. The past few years he has started treating me like junk(literaly). It seems like he doesn't care about me and he is always insulting me. If I say something like "ewww" or "gross" he says quite looking in the mirror. I try so hard to get on his good side but he just insults me even more. we are only a few years apart.
