Family - February 2007

One of the questions posed by a boy on Answers clearly showed he was being abused by his foster parents. Is there someone I could get in touch with to help. I have thought about this all day and obviously being on the internet I have no idea where he is or how old. He seemed desperate.

My children are 20, 18, 14, 13. We have not had a family meal in 2 weeks due to work schedules and social commitments. I miss it a great deal. I do not want to give up this very happy time.

my mother in law is an alchoholic. The past few months shes been acting crazier and crazier. She first got in a fight with her husband because he wouldnt let her drive while drunk, she called the police on him, but they ended up arresting her. she took off to a really bad city about an hour from where we live, hooked up with a battered womens shelter(she isnt battered) took out a false restraing order on her husband, called him a few days later to borrow money (which he gave her) and Is sleeping & living with a man she just met a few weeks ago. she has done this sort of thing before about a year and a half ago, and we had her committed, obviously it didnt help. what should we do? we are afraid she is going to get really hurt.

My little sister copies my cousin, who's into stuff like My Chemical Romance. She changed her wardrobe, her clothing, her music tastes, her diet (she wants to be veg because of my cousin, and nows she's pale from lack of proper nutrition), her attitude and everything! I'm very scared by how she idolizes my cousin. The results are drastic, and I wish my sister could be an individual. She will not confirm nor deny she copies my cousin, but it's really obvious! What should I do! She's young and I don't want her to do anything she would seriously regret, like start cutting herself or anything. My cousin even pierced her own ears the last time she visited the house!

I say this with stress because my little sister (whose not so little) has gone into this rebel outrage, shes disrespecting my mother and that really ticks me off. My mom wont do anything about shes way too passiave and my sister knows this which is why she runs off with her boyfriend who's 18 god knows where...and sometimes theres days where she dosent even come home and then i see her at school that we go to. See I'm 18 myself and I dont act like that. Thou there was this one time she yelled and cused to my mother so I gave her taste of her own medicene and yelled right back to her own face. I feel like we as a family have drifted...(our father passed away last nov. 2006 Please I need some advice on how to help my mother realize that her behavior is out of control!...

She is turning thirteen this year, and she talks to items in her room. I find this disturbing, but when I confront her she tells me it's normal. She talks all night long to her teddies, blankets, pictures on her walls, and sometimes even the television. I'm worried about her, I fear that something might be wrong in her head. Should a girl turning thirteen be doing this? I know it's not one of those "Oh no! I'm going to be a teenager soon, I want to be a kid as long as possible!" things, because shes been doing it for almost four years. It was just a few monthes ago I actually realized she was doing it all the time. I'm worried. Does anyone know if there might be something wrong with her?
I regret saying this, but is she going crazy?
I love her, and I'm so worried.

i have 3 boys, my oldest is almost 14 and has the worst attitude. he acts as if the world is his enemy, everythings unfair, and it must all be a conspiracy against him. I don't get it. no matter what i say he's extremely defensive and angry. I know he's not doing drugs, so what is making him act like this?

When we are alone, he'll say things like " eff u, beyotch". I've told my parents, and the talk to him, but he keeps doing it. Mostly, its only when its just the two of us. This kind of language really hurts me, but my brother is acting so casual about it. I don't think he hangs out with bad kids. I think its HIM that rubs off onhis friends. How can I make him stop?

i am scared of what my mother mights do if i tell her anything that i do or did wrong. i am constantly told how i am so selfish and inmature and what a failure i am.. i often break down in front of teachers,peers and friends because i cant deal with being put down from my mother on small things that she turns big like how i wear my pants. she constantly yells at me and only tells my brother good night and how much she loves him and gives me the cold shoulder. i was the a blame for why no one would get any christmas presents last year because i asked where she was going one night. she was going shoppping. she screams at me because if i ask for some money to go somewhere or if i can get something and she tells me why dont i ask my dad who i dont have a realashionip with. i feel i am the blame for everything that happens its never her or my brothers fault, always mine.
i was exposed to a abuseive mother and father realashionship when i was 6-8.
have i been emotionally abused?

3rd youngest out or 14 children. And im 13 yrs old. I got into some bad stuff at school and when I got home my mom said I was grounded. I started arguing with her and she said if i didn't stop my dad would deal with me. I mumbled ***** under my breath and she said that's it your getting a spanking. I tryed to run but she pulled down my jeans and underwear, got a flat hairbrush, put me over her lap and spanked me about 17 times. It was really embarrasing and all of my siblings heard!.





I think my dad is gonna get home tonight and he'll spank me with his belt if my mom tells what should I do!

I want to take a break alone by myself. When I have suggested this my husband said that I am "crazy" and that isn't normal. I just feel like I need my space and time to just relax.

We live in a tiny house. We both accumulate clutter. We have 2 dogs, 4 cats and a teenager.

I'm always the person people come to at work for answers. We have a cluttered and noisy environment at work.

I just feel like it is all closing in on me.

Is it normal to just want to take a break from your life....go off to a cheap motel room and read a magazine for the weekend?

PLEASE share your beautiful stories with the world. This is my story; I call it; "Here's looking at you kid" My Mother had left us to be with the Lord, it was her time to go. She was very ill with diabetes,leaving her blind and in a coma.It was very hard for her family to see her this way, almost unbearable. My Mother loved to read, her eyes were her everything. She even taught herself how to speak English by reading. Born in Europe,and only speaking German made it hard for my parents to understand one another, but they fell in love, got married and had 5 daughters, and was married for 56yrs.You can only imagine how hard it was for my Dad to have to go through this heart breaking time. It was very sad for all of us to see her lifeless body lay there as she slowly dies. But then a miriacle happened.Yes she was still dying but she woke-up! And she could see perfect! she even looked 20yrs younger,and she was without pain, and then we literally saw her being lifted in the arms of the Lord.
