I'm a single mom, my 10 year old daughter has become physically aggresive with me twice now. She is almost as big as me now and soon will be bigger I'm afraid. Both times I have restrained her physical fits by putting her in a headlock basically until she stopped hitting me. I feel horrible doing this but don't see any other options right now. Does anyone have any advice. P.S. Her father isn't around to help, nor any other male figures. It's all up to me.

My daughter is in 9th grade, someone told a counserler that she was popping pills in the morrnig! They took her out of class and into a back room. Made her empty her purse, coat pockets and pull out her pockets of her jean's. And said that she will have to take A drug test, but she never did. They found nothing. And also said nothing about the search for pill's or drug test to me when I talked to them. My daughter is a good student never get's into trouble, she dont hang with the wrong people and and dont drink, smoke or do drug's, for them to accuse her crushed her, to the point, that she dont want to go back to school! Is it legal to do this to a 15 year old in Arkansas with out the parents there. If it's not legal what can I do to make sure this will never happen again

It is a long story but to put it short,I moved to america where he lives with his 3rd wife and stood it for three years. He is very controlling, I was very unhappy with the situation and my husband at that time, also my four kids were unhappy so i sold my house in england to move home. I made him a deal about the house he had mortgaged for us and put a lot of money into it so he could make a profit(even though I had paid the mortgage) I came home and did not speak to him for 2 years, my current husband had lost his dad at a young age and encouraged me to get back in contact with my father, which I did. I thought every thing was ok but it seems when I go over to the usa in May, I am not welcome in his house, my boys are but my step mother hates me why is this? I have not done anything wrong and I am at the point where he can piss off, he chose his last wife over me and my sisters now he is doing it again.

I have 2 kids (ages 4 and 7) and am not working (currently looking), I used to be this active happy go lucky mom and lately I don't even want to hear or see my kids, I'm so upset that its taking me forever to get a job after so many "great" interviews, but worse my kids are CONSTANTLY calling me and needing something that I always feel like i want to fall asleep until morning. I wake up early, am a slave to my children while my husband works, i'm bored, looking for a job almost everyday and I don't see the silver lining.....my kids notice the change b/c normally they see me doing arts and crafts w/them or reading and now i swear I just want to drop them off at my moms house for 2 days straight!!! that's impossible unfortunatelty.

My kids (son age 7 and daughter age 5) live about 4 hours away from me with their mom (my ex) and step dad. I was so happy because this past weekend I picked them up to spend a few days with me at my house. But when we got to my place I realized that something wasn't right. I asked them what was wrong and they said they didn't want to stay with me. I asked them why but they wouldn't say. So I called my ex to ask her if she had been telling them things about me. My ex and I usually get along, but this time, I lost my cool and started cursing her out. I knew the kids heard me because I wasn't very quiet about it. Pissed off, I drove them right back to their mother's house. I tried calling them since then but they don't really want to talk to me.

So in the last few years my dad, who has always had a bad temper, has become increasingly angry and violent. There's been a lot of emotional abuse before, but now I'm really afraid he's going to hurt someone. He threatens sometimes to kill himself but he won't get any help. He thinks nobody loves him and everyone is against him. One day about a few months ago the family got into an argument and he pulled a gun out and threatened me with it. And, YEAH, I know, I should have reported it. But I knew it was a bluff, and I didn't want to send him to jail. He was sorry about it, and I thought he wouldn't do anything like that again. But last night everything was going fine...family night, movies, popcorn, then someone tells him the proper way to handle a DVD and that starts a screaming argument, and he got so violent, I swear I thought he was going to kill my mom. It's never been this bad before. Any advice on how to handle this? And cutting him out of our lives is not an option...

I guess i just don't understand how some people can be so differant. I must say i do live in my own little world and i have a 4 year old little girl, (and happily married). How can things be so bad out there. I was reading differant things on here and seen SO many things that made me chill!! For example: a 15 YR old boy BI!! with web cam!! 14 yr old f bi curious, THEN i see i think it was 50 yr old looking for young chubby girls!! Holy crap this is scarey!! Sad!! Strange to me, I know this is the real freaking world, but WHY. Why must young people be so miss led and older people (meaning suppose to adults) so sick with Sex! Wow i feel like i am giving a speech, people reading this probably feel the same... i am not putting anyone down, but what about our children, this is wrong to let them see this world this way. I raise my daughter in a Christian Home, Where God is our father and not to be ashamed to speak his name. Like our local schools!
ok question... what 2 do?

And how did it go? I wouldn't write that off as necessarily a bad thing to do. It's not to be encouraged, but there's all sorts of situations out there.
