tony has joint custody and has his 9yr old son mike every other day.mike is very active in sports and tony allways goes to watch mike play(which in like 2-3 days a week)then on the weekend there is always school stuff/sports games ect.if these events fall on a day tony does not have his son he still goes.i feel tony spends more time with his exwife than me since she allways goes too.i can go to(for the most part)but i end up just standing around while tony and his ex talk about upcoming events, dr appts,school stuff ect.plus i have to deal with the ex glaring at me the whole time.this happens like 2-3 times a week.i tryed getting more involved with mike like helping in his class so i would not feel so left out.well the ex found out and flipped out.now i'm not even allowed at his school.my husband will not defend me as he feels it will only make things worse for mike.is there any other stepmoms out there that have to deal with all this drama too and how do u deal with it?

She expects me to get all A's when I am trying the best I can. And we have honor roll and that's when you can't get a grade lower than a B- and I got a B- in math so I am still on the honor roll. Still, she said "A B-??? That's almost a C!" But I didn't get a C! I got a B! So why does she have to worry about something I didn't even get? I am in 7th grade and we have tons of work and she is always comparing me to my old friend who is Little Miss Perfect. I always talk to my mom about this but she says she has "normal expectations" for me. High honors is all A's. Instead of being happy I made honors, she yells at me for not getting high honors. What can I do about this???

I'm 26, and my 15 year old cousin just informed me that she's thinking about committing suicide. She and her mom are constantly fighting and her mother constantly sides with her husband. She informed me that she's considering suicide and she asked me to come live with me for a while. She's my favorite baby cousin and I would love to have her stay with me, especially since my house is closer to her school. She's a really good kid, and she confided in me that her step dad hit her a few times, and she's frustrated because her mom doesn't believe her. Now my ? is, what do I say to her mom? Do I just ask her if she would allow her to stay with me for the remainder of the school year? I'd appreciate any advice.

how do I talk about family anger problems with a disfunctional pack of raging cave dwellers without world war three kicking off, today I tried to talk in a civil manner to my mother about some of the things on my mind only to find myself on the recieving end of a hate fuelled barage of chav style verbal abuse and blood vessel bursting venom. can you suggest a way to get my family to talk without the knife drawer being opened and get a healthy family discussion going without the police riot squad going on stand bye?
please, thank you.

He's in his 40's and has been living at mom's for 8 months now while he pretends to be getting a divorce. He's a rotten father (he's either yelling at his kid or he's in bed pretending to be sick). He's probably stolen some of my mom's jewelry (she had the nerve to ask if I borrowed it.. I live 100 miles away!) My mom's house is falling to hell and he does nothing to help her. I'm finding myself disliking the jerk, and I'm trying not to get angry at my mom for being the total enabler. She won't visit me because she's "afraid of what might go on" while she's gone. He's taken the screen off the window so he can use his bedroom window instead of the front door, and has destroyed her back gate in order to slip out the back- then claimed the lawn mower guy did it. If I visit, he pretends to be sick and stays in his room.
I'm disgusted with them both and torn between feeling sad and angry. Do you blame me?

I've just lost a family member that I see everyday for 20 years and have been living together with since I was born. I love her more than any other soul in the entire world. How could you possibly carry on? I don't think this despair will ever go away...

My mom went into the Dr. the other day complaining of stomach cramps. A hospital stay and lots of tests later they found a mass on her pancreas and spots on her liver. Theyre going to get the results of whether it's cancerous or not soon. I pray to God it isn't, you dont know how hard i pray. I didnt ever used to pray, but when shoved face to face with a life threatening illness, you start to. You start to hope, and pray,and wish, and try to make bargins with God. Ill do this or this if you just let her live till old age. Id do anything for her...Anything if it just meant that she would get better. Id take her place if i could.
Everyone takes their parents for granted, including me, and i feel like crap for doing so. I used to get so upset with her for trival things, now it doesn't matter. It should of never mattered, i was just to selfish and to big of a ***** to realize it. I dont want to lose her like this. A mom is supposed to help plan your wedding, help decorate your house, and help name your grandchildren, and make life just a little more difficult in between.
All i can think about now is going home and taking care of my family, not study stupid chemistry! If i could i would withdraw from all my classes and start at henry ford next semester, or wayne state or whereever, it wouldnt matter as long as i was close to home.
Look up Pancreatic cancer and see what you find, and tell me you wouldnt be scared too.
So i guess the point to this note was to ask anyone reading it please put my mother in your thoughts. Say a prayer, make a wish, do anything. I dont care if youre not religious, i wasnt really untill now. Ill do anything for a miracle. Please

These guys got so jealous of me walking up, sitting on my brother's lap, and burrowing my head into his chest.(he doesn't mind b/c I only weigh 98lbs.) We are just brother and sister. We are also very close to eachother. Why were they jealous??
He claims the guys like me.The whole school knows we are brother and sister and yet one of my guy friends tells me the other is jealous.Why??
What is wrong with two siblings who have been through a lot, being close?? What is wrong with doing this after my gymnastics meet when I was exhausted??

im 26, I have a BA and work in computers.
My questions is, is it time to move out of my dad's house and start my own life?

mom died when I was 9, I have 2 sisters and one brother and one niece, I am pretty much the educated one at home, I have to mentor everybody at home and put up with everybody.
I feel like I am everybody's dad because I have to deal with everybody's problem, including sometimes my niece's, ok dont get me wrong dad works and take's care of his business, but I always have to hear his problems. ok, i am so sick and tired of complaints. The only reason I have sticked around is because im helping my dad pay off the house and he is almost done.
so is it time to move out?
and stop dealing with other grownup responsibilities?

please no humor answers

I am almost 19 and still living at home, yet my parents dont let me do that much and I still have a 12 o clock curfew. Though Ive been resposible with having a good job and having great grades in college my parents still wont trust me fully. they dont seem to understand that I am ambitious and that if something in my work or school start falling I will remedy it. Also my dad talks to me like I dont know anything, he constantly explains things over and over to me that I already know. He not only does this to me but to the rest of my family. How can I fix these problems?

My mom wanted to tell me that she was a lesbian and not to tell dad, then a day later dad came up to me and said that he was gay and not tell mom. Well a few days passed, and I didn't know what to do. I felt that we were not a family anymore and all of a sudden my mom and dad told me to come and they told me that they were joking, and asked how did it feel to think that your dad was gay and mom was a lesbian. I told them how I felt, and they said see this is why we don't support gay marriage and gays adopting, and you felt the same way that we were not a family. What do you guys think? My dad is a pastor
