Family - January 2007

I've had issues with weight and food my whole life, but I've never made it apparent with my family because it usually just comes and goes in cycles. But since this summer it's been the worse it has ever been before. I got addicted to diet pills(prescribed kind that I got sorta blackmarket style)and started restricing/starving, abusing laxatives and chewing and spitting food into baggies when my parents were sleeping. I went from 140-110 pounds(i'm 5'1") in a little under 6 months and my parents think it's just because I was stressed at school.
I Know I have a really big problem and need help, I'm just afraid I won't be taken seriously. I'm not underweight and my parents see me eat whenever I do eat so I feel like they won't really think I have a serious problem and won't give me the kind of treatment I NEED.

How should I approach my family about my problem?

It is 2 in the morning and my dad went down stairs to wake my mom up which is very wierd. I heard her go upstairs and into there room. The next thing I know I heard them kissing and other stuff. Now I completely feel like I'm going to hurl. I don't care if it is a normal thing, but it shouldn't be when your own kids can hear it. What should I do? I don't want to feel akward around them so please hear me out and tell me what to do.

I'm 16 and recently, my mom basically moved out of the house. Her boyfriend got a place in a city that's 30 minutes away, and she mostly lives with him now. She only comes 2-3 days a week, although she definitely keeps me well-fed, and provides me with everything materially speaking. I can manage the apartment i live in by myself because i'm used to a certain degree of independance. But recently, I can't stop myself from distractions. with no control and no siblings, it's hard not to spend hours on the computer or watching t.v. I've tried writing out plans, but i don't follow them because i give in to the desire to relax. When i tried inviting a friend over so that we could both do our homework, we ended up talking and not accomplishing much. I really need to concentrate on homework, but it's so impossible without any influence at home. I used to be a perfect student, but now my grades are suffering from my laziness.
How can I control myself again???

I think I should still inherit all of the land.

The land has been in our family for a very long time. Does she have any right to it? If she is still a baby then does her mom get control of the land for her? How can I still inherit the land without her interfering?

Is that kid my step-sister, my half-sister or just nothing at all? I don't want to have anything to do with her and I usually just call her that woman's kid. Personally, I think dad should have a DNA test done on her, but that's his problem.

His older children hate me and I'm not sure that with them is the best place for the baby to be. I'm sure that he would take care of her, but I'm not sure that I want her to be exposed to the ugliness of these children who have openly told me that they hate me and the baby.

ok my parents have always treeted my older brother better than me. but for christmas this year they went to far. my older brother (19) got a car ($800) and I (17) got $50. i asked for some money to pay for a skiing trip in in a few weeks, and the trip costs $200. people have told me that i should not be jellous of my brother, but my parents spent so much on him and only gave me 1/4 of what i need for the trip. I know that I will not get a car when I am 19, my parents have as good as told me that. (they baught the car from my grandparents.) and my parents are always conplaining that we never have enough money. some months we have to chose between bills and food. what can i do? i have tryed to get a job, but the unemployment rate here is as high as it has ever been. i was told by 2 job angentcys that it is imposable for a teen my age to get a job in this town. also what can I do about my parents? i am sick of always getting left overs, while my brother gets so much.

His wife doesn't want us coming around. It's not like we want to see her anyway. We don't go to his house. He comes to see us. She's afraid that we will bother her precious little baby and wants to be sure that legal action can be taken if we even come near them. I think she sucks. I hate her. I don't know why dad is going along with this. What do you think?

I'm feeling horribly angry right now and I'm very close to yelling my brother dumb - I don't want to do this.

Should I beat up a pillow? Watch a calming movie? Take a shower? What?

his mind against them ? When this is far from the truth, he has made his own decision to cut off with them.

My mom hasn't been there since I was 14, I'm now 20. She refuses to get a job, only shows face when she needs something. Doesn't show for holidays, and if she does it only for a half hour. I'm not the only one who sees this. She and my dad live apart. I think just because you are a parent doesn't mean you get respect, but should earn it by being a good parent. I can't stand my mother, I wish I could because shes the only one I have. Is it right to hate your mom because she doesn't act like a mom?

My mom comes from a large family of 6 children. 5 sisters, and 1 brother. My 1 aunt was recently diagnosed with cancer, and soon passed after that. There was much care for her that took placed during this 6 month time period. These sisters have always gotten along okay. My mom and her 1 sister pretty much never got along though. The brother also never got along with that same sister. This sister now causing very much trouble, and now this whole event has caused a huge rift in the family, and this is definitley not how my aunt would have wanted it. She was very caring and carefree. Oh, my aunt that passed, lived with her parents her entire life, and eventually married. She was then diagnosed, and we found out her husband was crazy, and he then ended up killing himself. But, like i was saying before there is a huge fight now.

There are definitley sides chosen:

My mom, her brother, her mom

The 1 sister, another sister, their dad

1 sister stays in the middle

What can I do?
