Family - February 2007

Hi, I am wondering if there is anyone else out there under the age of 20 who has lost both thier parents to death? My mom died overnight when i was 11, and i took care of my father with cancer for 5 years, and he passed away almost 2 years ago this august. I am 19 and having a hard time finding anyone on this earth who has had the same experience as i have. Feel free to write even if you are not the person i am looking for. I just hope that someone can understand me and i know you are out there. Thanks, Ami

Yes, I am overweight, some part my fault, some not, but she is alienating me more every time she harps on me about it and it's usually incredibly insensitive, ignorant or cruel words. Help!

my mother has made it clear that she does not approve of me marrying my fiance, she has told me this and she has told him this. She even went as far as to tell him that she knows what I look like when I am in love and she doesn't see it. She has brought up my past relationships as comparisons and really upset him. The worst part is she doesn't tell me when they do talk, he comes to me, usually very upset, and tells me what she is saying. I do not doubt she is saying those things to him, but it needs to stop. I love my fiance very much, I couldn't imagine life without him. How do I tell my mother to back off?

My dad was adopted shortly right after birth by a very loving couple. He never searched for his biological parents. Now both my father and his adoptive parents have passed away. I'm thinking about trying to locate and meet my biological grandparents (if either are still alive).

Thoughts?

When my sister comes to visit she stays for about 5 days. The last two times she was here she only showered once, maybe twice in those 5 days. I tried to hint and say things like "the towels are in this closet but let me know if you run out" or "I just got this great shampoo if you want to use it." She isn't some slob, she's a beautiful twenty-somthing girl, so what gives? Maybe it's a sign of something else like depression? Next time she comes to visit what would be a NICE way to tell her or bring it up?

I'm 18 and recently moved out of my parents' house to my own apartment to be closer to college. It's been 2 weeks since I moved in, and last night, my father followed me from work to my apartment, and was forcing me to let him come in. (thank god, the key jammed and neither of us could get in, got to go to a friends house) anyway, he is basically forcing me to move back home, and has threatened to stalk me. He is following me from work, school, and everywhere I go. He even dragged me by my hair in the hallway of my building. Is there anything I can do? Since I'm 18, can he legally make me move back in, or have consent over me? Is a restraining order too much? I'm scared to go home to my apt, I had to sleep in my school's library last night...

I feel like that all my family cares about is what kind of a job my husband has and if he's treating me right. My family won't call my husband about any important family events coming up and seems to not like him much. I know my mother is still mad that I took over the wedding planning and my father is mad that I almost took the beer away from the wedding. My father (I can't believe this) asked me ON MY WEDDING DAY why I was marrying my husband. He hoped it wasn't to get away from them (parents). I love my husband we had been together for over 3 years after getting engaged. What am I suppose to do?

I am not sure if I am over-reacting or not.

His mother has always been very kind to me. However, she has spolit her son rotten! He still lives at home and she washes all his clothes, cooks his meals, whatever she can do for him, she does it!

He runs his own businesses and works all the time and he says he doesn't have the time to do stuff for himself. Which is true he rushes about from morning to night.

He asked me a few day ago to call in to the post office and post a letter for him. I refused cos i seen no reason why he couldn't drop it in himself and I didn't want to start a habit. His mother then done it.

Theres are lots of issues like this that come up. He has told me, if I didn't get up in the morning to make his breakfast, he would go to his mothers. His mother and father live right beside where we are gonna live when we get married.

He does do things for me so am I being lazy or I am right not to do every he tells me to?

Any tips how to handle this?

Okay, I have a bit of a jealously peoblem (I think). I live in the same house as my fiance's family. It's 6 of us total. It's very nice to have everyone living under the same roof, but somethimes I find myself getting annoyed. I'm very close with my soon to be mother, but sometimes I find myself getting jealous. When her daughter is not around she is loving and caring to me, but when she is around it's like I'm not even there. She calles she "sweetie", "honey" and always finds things to do with her. I feel out of the loop. How can I confront her or what should I do? Am I making a big deal about nothing? I guess when I have kids, I'll favor my own more as well

I'm 24, graduated in Chemistry, have a job, taking a post-graduation course. My life is good, I'm considered a good person and actually I do my best to be so. I have a good heart, but I almost hate my parents. When I was a teen, I messed up, was spoiled, disrespectful, made some mistakes. They were too harsh on me, I got harsh punishmentsm was spanked several times at 15 and 16 and they even sent me to a borad school. So, they like kicked me out, proved they didn't love me and didn't deserve to be called parents. I agree I messed up, but there were major issues, it was tehir fault too, and it was their duty to keep loving me. They could abd should correct me, but not like they did. I finally grew up, was a briilliant student in college and my life changed completely. Today my parents say they're are proud of me and I'm a great young adult. But they didn't do anything for me to achieve this, they only punished and rejected me. They want my love back, but all I can give them is hatred
