I havent spoke to my niece ( she ignores me and greets everyone else in the room) since Feb, my sister (her Mother) was and still is very ill.
She took her anger out on me one day, asked me to leave the house ( I was living with them) said horrible things and her hurt me very badly.
Considering she is going through a bad stage and she is 13.
And my sisters conditions....Today is her Birthday should I ignore it?
She did mention she never wanted to see me again and she hated me!
Ps : I did nothing to her....she was just angry that I am close to my sister.

Recently I wrote about my boyfriend hitting me but that all has changed now. But my mother called to tell him to stay away from me and our 2 boys. He's coming home today at 6:00pm to get his things and I have begged him to stay. I can't live without him, he's everything to me amd the boys. He says I'm better off without him and he wants to make my mom happy. He just won't listen. We are suppose to get married next year but now I don't think we ever will because of my mom. I want to be the family I have always dreamed of but I don't think it will ever happen. What do I do or say to make him stay? Please help me!

I have 2 biokids and 3 stepkids. All 5 live with us full time and the absent parents are not involved in the kids lives. Our first Christmas together we had a bit of an issue. My husband had been laid off so I went into my savings and spent an equal amount of money on all 5 kids for Christmas. My husband did not think to tell me that his family and ex-wife's family mail in gifts for the stepkids. A day after Christmas literally DOZENS of gifts started rolling in for the stepchildren. It was great to see them opening gifts and having a great time but my biological children had nothing to open. I had spent all of my savings (not much to begin with) buying gifts for everyone BEFORE Christmas. The stepkids get many gifts from biomom's family each year (and some of them even send gifts for MY children! But most send only for my step kids which is understandable. My question: Is it acceptable for my husband and I to buy a couple of gifts for my biokids to even things out a little?

My brother is 21 and his girlfriend is 17 they live in IL. As of right now they live together with her mom and brothers. If the two of them move out could her mom charge him with statatory rape or not considering she allows them to live together. They want to move out because her mom makes her do all the cleaning and makes the both of them give her their checks on payday while she sits on does nothing (she doesn't have a job). So my question is can they move out without any legal percussions. (Age of consent in IL is 17)

She is always telling me what to do when it comes to my kids and I hate it! Today she informed me that she thinks my 5 yr old is rude b/c last christmas (when she was 4) she asked if she had anymore presents to unwrap when we had gotten done. I told her she is just a kid and to give her a break. There was other things said but that had me going the most! Was my little girl rude? How about my obnoxious Mother in law?

I have been in a custody battle for over a year and a half. My daughter lives with her father, which is a very unsafe living situation. He is an alcoholic of the worst degree. He is in Ohio and I am in Missouri. I have done everything right here, like buying a house and I am getting married to the greatest man ever. He doesn't work, he drinks in front of her, (I know how scary this is!) and he has a bed IN HER ROOM. Sometimes h lets her sleep with him in his bed. (He gets roaming hands, in his sleep, when he has been drinking.) I want nothing more than to show her this is NOT the way to live and that drinking is not a permanent fixture in someone's home. I have been to the court for times, (since the time they gave him custody,) and I have been forced to sit in the waiting room while the lawyers go in and hash it out. So far nothing good. I am ready to expose this story on the news or any place that will listen. Should I or should I just sit peacefully while my daughter is left there?

I have a 14 year old child that I split custody with, she states that she has the legal right to decide at 14 which parent she chooses to be with and for how long. Can you tell me what the age is that the courts allow a child to make this decision.

My husband's birth mother divorced from his dad when hubby was 2 years old and only had limited contact with him while growing up. Every year, she has invaded our home over Christmas, just hanging around like a bad smell. I just want a Christmas morning WITHOUT her here and enjoy the morning with my kids...alone! Hubby has no backbone to stand up to her....feels like he should be nice to her since she is his 'birth' mom and she also pulls the guilt card big time when he does try to say no to her scheming. I want to have a holiday that I actually look forward to but instead I'm constantly stressed about babysitting her, feeding her, entertaining her, everything. She's also pushing hubby's half-brother into our faces even though we have no contact with that guy ever. She thinks that just because they're half-brothers, they should be super close though they didn't grow up together. I hate putting hubby in the middle, but it's my home too and I don't want them here.

She never tells me when family members or close friends are very ill, hospitalized, or have died. This is craziness, and it has happened on more then one occasion.
Two very good examples-my Great-Aunt died a few years ago. My mother never told me. I read about it in the news paper obituaries after the fact. I didn't attend her memorial or even send flowers because I had no idea she had died. And just today I found out (from my cousin) that my Grandmother has been in the hospital, scheduled for surgery that she may not live through. Still, my mother has not told me AND IT IT HER OWN MOTHER!
There have also been family friends & neighbors who have been ill or died and I have not known about it until after the fact and never from my mother directly. Needless to say it has made for a few awkward moments.
Does anyone out there have a clue as to why my mother behaves this way?

I am an adult in my mid thirties with a family of my own, and I speak to my mother on a semi-daily basis.

For my 40th birthday my mom is taking me on a cruise. My husband thinks it the weirdest thing to do and that I am "deserting" my family( I have 3 sons). It is for 4 nights and my mother-in-law is coming to stay with him. He probably won't have to lift a finger because she will do everything for him. Is going on a cruise with my mom such a bad thing.

Hi, I need help. I'm 14, my mom has a boyfriend that likes my brother (12) and I as much as he likes my mom. He could show better affection towards us in a week than my Dad could in a year. My Dad didn't do anything specifically wrong, but when my mom took me and my brother out of the country, he refused to go live there too because he didn't have a job there. We're not poor, in fact we're almost rich. We could survive even if he was un-employed. I feel as if he really loved me, he would move so we could see him everyday.
Yesterday, I saw him for the first time in two months. I didn't feel any excitement. Now, when I'm together with my mom and her boyfriend, I feel like we're a family. I've never felt this around my Dad. Help?? Similar stories and tips are greatly appreciated.

My son seems to cry whenever he is with his father. He screams when he changes his diaper. I told him that he should probably be a little bit gently with wiping him. He just gets mad and says Im to sensitive. He flips my son in the air, throws him on the bed and even slaps his hands when he gets into thing he shouldnt. At this age they can't comprehend. I just try and keep everything out of reach. I also watch a little girl in my home. Today he had off. The little girl started crying. He tried flipping her in the air and I told him to PUT HER DOWN! He came up to me and used the little girls feet to hit me in the face 4 Xs. I was so angry I cried. And he said AGAIN that Im too sentive of a person. This is the same excuse his mother uses on everybody. Him and his mom are very maniplitive (cant spell) people. Im not sure what I should do. Sometimes I want to leave him and his horrible mean but in mother. Am I overreacting? And YES Ive tried talk ing to him and suggested counsling.

my Tim has joint custody and set court orders for visitation with his exwife for their 8yr old son.The problem is whenever she gets a new bf she wants to change the visitation schedule around to accommodate her.The court order is set up so Tim has his son every other day from after school till 7pm and every other weekend.Tim allways follow this unless there is an emergency.His ex routinely calls 15 mins before we are to bring him home to tell us she will be late and we have to bring him home later or will call us to come and get him earlier from her..Most of the time shes only late by 30 mins or so but there are times when she wants him to keep him like whole days which interfers with our plans.The worse part is Tim allows this to happen and will not say a thing to her or even asks me if its ok.He will not say anything to her as he is afriad to confront her and make "problems" for his son.I think hes just afraid of her period and allowing her to control us.

My wife and I decided to tie the knot after getting a sweet little babygirl. She invited me to move in with her family since she has a steady job in her hometown but I am still trying to get a transfer. Her Dad detests my stay there and often sneers at me, even mumbling some invectives within my earshot. He's really getting on my nerves but my wife says that that is his usual attitude towards people he's not used to, and that eventually he'd get used to my presence. How should I deal with the situation?

We recently relocated and moved in with family. We needed a place to stay to get on our feet etc. We have always paid "rent", and paid our own way. Now we are ready to move, and they don't want us to. We are crammed in a small bedroom (there are four of us), and although we get along very well as friends/family, we are ready to move into our own residence. Now we are certain that they rely on income that we provide to them throughout the month. We told them we were going to look after the first of the year, however they are emphatic we don't move. What do we do? We don't want to leave them in a pinch because they helped us with a roof over our head (even though we paid for it) in our time of need. Any suggestions?? Solutions??
