Family - December 2006

Where do I stand. Have a legal right to my fathers half?

Many thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

F A M I L Y
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is
told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers
he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."

He said, "Oh,
Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I
love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company

that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss,for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE
Y)OU

My husband took off a few weeks ago and won't come see his daughter. It's her first Christmas and it's already going to be ruined because he won't give me money to buy her anything, and I don't have a job. How can I make it special for her even though he won't be around? This is so important to me and I'm just devastated that we can't be a family for my daughter's first Christmas. My family is spread out throughout the country and I'm pretty sure his family will want to see her but should I take her over there since he doesn't ever want to see her himself? Otherwise, her and I will be alone most of the day. I know she won't remember it, but I will and I want to have happy photos of her to share with her when she's older. Can anyone give me an idea of how to make it special?

We have to visit her over the holidays and I know she will have something to say about how short my hair is, how much I weigh, how badly I'm treating my husband, how badly I'm raising my kids, etc. I know none of it is really true, but I don't have enough self-esteem to really believe it and ignore her.

I don't know how much more I can take.
My sister is the cruelest to me. She tells me
she hates me. She wishes I would die, she continuously beats up on me. She tells me how
basically that I am the equivalent of ****. If I get a compliment from a guy she laughs and says the must be blind. Anything I do is a mistake in her eyes and I don't know why. Honestly, I'm not trying to sound heavenly but I do nothing to her. I can ask her a question about the weather and she would rant about how much she hates me and how much I annoy her. She is the only person I know that has something negative to say about me and I have no enemies. When she hurts me I don't do anything back to hurt her and I'm fed up. I already have low self-esteem and I'm going through depression and Im recovering from cutting and she tells me Im crazy. And what hurts the most is I love her and care more about her than myself and she values material items and treats other who are mean to her better than me.
What can I do?

My mother and step-dad get drunk, mostly on weekends, and keep my little sister and brother awake or wake them up with their screaming at each other in the middle of the night, early morning hours. I am now 23 and no longer live there, but when I was younger and I slept there I had the same problem. My sister and brother are 10 and 11 years old. What should I do?

My sister has been sexually active since she was 11. I decided to do the right thing and protect her by not telling anyone. Now my parents found out and they are mad at me for keeping her secret. I got in trouble even though I did the right thing. What can I do about it now?

He is really agressive to his parents and he is just ruining every thing he has. Because he doesn't want any help and he is 18 years old there is no help for him in Belgium.

I went shopping for jeans with my mum. She kept pointing out these hideous and unflattering styles. On several occasions I said to her: "Hey, mum, those jeans are okay, but you and I have totally different tastes." So anyways, we got home and mum started hurling abuse at me, kept calling me fat and said that I didn't deserve to have a self-esteem. I went up to my room crying, and my mum carried on shouting about me for another half an hour. All opinions and comments are welcome.

I've opened my own business and it's in a public place...part of my job is to spend time chatting with customers and being hospitable to them. This sends very mixed messages to friends & family who think it's perfectly fine to drop by, whenever they please, expecting me to chat with them too. At first I didn't mind, but now I'm way too distracted when they are there. My SOLE focus needs to be on my customers & when I have NO customers, I want to keep busy with all the other tasks that need to be done or else I'll end up really stressed at the end of the day. Friends/Family observe me chatting with customers and think it's just one big "social session" without ANY awareness that customers are PART of my job---and idle "chit-chat" with family and friends is NOT part of my job! PLEASE tell me what to say--once and for all--so that people will start respecting my time & schedule! I've complained constantly about how busy I am, but no one seems to care.

We get a lot of nasty remarks behind our backs or in our face: Like " Well that is different you guys have a stay at home mom" or "Your wife can do this mine actually works" Why is it that people feel like attacking stay at home parents. It is not liek they live a life of luxery. They never get a break. I just want to know because it baffles me that there is so much hate towards stay at home parenting.

SENARIO:Step-daughter is 22yrs old. Has had apartment with (non-working) boyfriend for the past year. Just got eviction notice, can't afford the apt. any longer. Has until the end of the month!
NOW: She calls my husband crying the blues of maxed credit cards, behind on rent, etc. Asks DAD to take out a loan of $9,000 to get her out of the hole (claims she will pay the loan.. besides a car loan he took out for her, she hasn't paid on in the past 3 months - .."right"). He was denied the loan because we took out a $25,000 home improvement loan + my car loan in May. SO,She announces she will move back in with dear ole dad (neither of them asked my thoughts on the matter). I have 2 daughters (1 in college,1 in the Navy). One of their rooms is used for storage, the other has her things packed in boxes. So, I am suppose to tell my daughter in college she no longer has a bedroom to come home to? I feel like moving out myself. I NEED SOME ADVISE PLEASE!
