It's a long story and I don't need to be judged, but I have not spoken to my mother for over 3 years. After years of tolerating her emotional abuse, for the sake of my mental health, I had to stop contacting her. She moved to another country anyway and has no interest in her children or 10 grandkids.

This morning I received a Christmas card from her - aplogising and asking me to forgive her. Unfortunately I know, she still has the capacity to be abusive and I don't have the stamina (or support) to cope with it.

I realise many people have had a loving mother who cared for them and nurtured them - I didn't - so please don't say "She's your mother and because of that you have a duty etc." If a person was in an abusive relationship with a partner - you would urge them to stay away!

She's hurt me so much and while I could forgive her - I don't want her back in my life - so - what would be the best thing to do?

When my cousin came to live at my place, I gradually find her behaviour unacceptable and intolerant. She is rebellious, independent sprited (she does whatevever she likes), willstrong. I really cannot tolerate her behaviour in my house. I feel frustrated and angry about having such a cousin.

Here in Australia in the country regional area we have been told it is an tolerable acceptance for the mother to be both dependant on perscription and illegal drugs (both of which she abuses) and prostitution is acceptable, her boyfriend is also a drug addict and is allowed to look after the children when she is out 'working' even though they were taken from her care 12 months ago 'cos he poured petrol over their car and threatened to light it while the kids were in it and has also tried to hang himself and felt it his place to tell the 10 year old girl why mummy is a prostitute and what a prostitute does. These people are in their late twenties, don't work (personally I do not consider 'prostitution' a work option, here we have access to government institutes for further education and such)The towns are only small populations under 30,000 so the kids are eventually going to have to deal with hearing things about mummy. I think it is selfish and immature am I wrong if not what to do.

What age did you find out that he didn't exist? How? My dumb cousin told me in the first grade and ruined it for me. Still, I kind of figured it out already because Santa always had the exact same ugly handwriting as my mom... She could have AT LEAST changed her handwriting!! And I was a good kid so there was no way Santa would give me a globe sharperner as a gift. Ahhhh.

I have somewhat of a problem with time management. It's simple, I'm no good at it. I wanna do so many things, actually I already have so many things to do, but I don't wanna lose out on any of them :-) I wanna chat with my girlfriend regularly as we live in different cities right now, so I want time for that. Yet I want time for studies AND tv, etc. And always, something gives.... people get upset with me for not being in touch with them, parents angry if i get bad grades, etc.

My husband and I have been married for a little over a year. I am an only child, and he has a sister who is four years younger than him. It has been apparent to me from day one that his sister is the "favorite". Anyone who has been around my in-laws can see the favoritism that my MIL refuses to acknowledge.

Is there a way to speak with my MIL to make her see this unfair treatment?

I'm 20 years old, I feel I'm in a point of my life when I'm going to have to do something, make a big change, or keep going downhill mentally from here.
I live with my mom(single) and brothers, both of which are probably moving out within less than a year. My mom is overbearing, and over all has been like a blackhole for any happiness. I've had enough of what I can take. I realize that she's alone and unhappy, but through all my life she has laid her problems on all of us, especially me. Rarely is she ever able to have a normal coversation with no problems. There's just too much crap to mention all of it (references about our father in relation to our behavior, mood swings etc)
I've discussed the issue about me moving out and she calls me selfish for wanting to do so, telling me I should wait till I'm married or finished college...
I'm afraid of what will happen to her if she's left alone. But I don't want to live loving yet despising her more every day.

Because of work, I have to be away with her. I'm in a lot of stress lately and I feel like I'm losing it. I'm with my wife abroad, and my daughter's left in my home country with my mother-in-law.

My wife wants me to get them asap. But I keep telling her that we need to be stable first and money is a bit of problem too.

I need to clear my head and think straight, but I'm really really consfused.

Your comments is highly appreciated.

My boyfriend is the most wonderful boy in the world. I love him, and he loves me, but my parents don't approve of him just because he's middle class and my family is lower-high class. They out and out told me that I should break up with him. Should I abide by my parents wishes, or should I continue to be with him?

Ok last night around 4:00am I just going to sleep and all of a sudden I heard a loud Crash and bang. My first thought was someones coming in the slide-n-glass door.
I hear my parents yell and get up. My Dad yells "What the hell, I Gotta get my gun"

My Mom is already going down stairs and she starts yelling if everyones OK.

For a few Minutes I sit there with My neice and Dog and the phone ready to call 911.

When My Mom gets down stairs she looks around the corner into the kitchen and our Cabniet Fell off the wall. Broke all of my mom's things.

so theres me and my Mom cleaning up Glass all over the kitchen!




So strange...........I think we're cursed

My baby is four months old and my sister-in-law ALWAYS brings her four and five year old to family gatherings ill. She is really sneeky about it too. At my baby's christning, she brought her son who informed the family (as he was double-dipping his chips in the dip) that he "puked" that morning and my sister-in-law told him "Shhh." She was never going to tell anyone. Does anyone else have this problem. How do I keep my little one healthy with an insensitive family member like this? Does anyone else have this problem?

Five months ago I moved back home with my mom after a relationship I was in ended badly. But since I've been here my mother has been letting me and the rest of the world know she doesn't wnt me here. She asks me for money all the time even after I've paid my rent, and when I don't have it she threatens to kick me out. Now before moving back home I never asked my mother for nothing, not even a single cent. And I prided myself in that, but the one time I need something from her I feel like she's dogging me. I am in fact going to move in January, but in the mean time things seem to get worst. The other day she asked me for some $ and I told her I didn't have it so when I got home from work, there was a note telling me she's tired of me taking advantage of her. Seriously I don't know what she's talking about cause I never ask this woman for NOTHING!! I don't want to argue with her, but I'm tired of her hurting my feelings whenever I don't pay up. What can I do?
