Family - February 2007

[Selected]: All categories Family & Relationships Family

My family is seriously religious, like church on Sundays and Wednesdays and Bible class on Tuesdays, I did all of that growing up. I never believed in any of it and when I moved out I stopped going all together. My parents recently found out I don't believe in God and they now refuse to speak to me. I've never been close to my parents and don't actually care if I talk to them again out not, but they have also cut me off from my younger brother, who I was good friends with. Any advice on how to convince them to let me see him.

Just from writing this my whole body is shaking! My brother got out of jail 3 months ago and was trying to get his life straight. Since then he got his son and wife back as well as his job. Well today he took my parents car and hasnt came back and wouldnt answer his cellphone. So I decided to check our cellphone records online and he has been using it. I called one of the numbers and the dam guy said "No i have no idea who you are talking about" Obviously if he talked to my brother five times for 15 minutes he knows who the hell he is! Well the point is my parents are going to go to work walking around 5a.m to go work because of my brother. Another thing is he's on probation and has a suspended license! I'm furious! My dad has just suffered from a stroke and im afraid that he'll suffer from another! What would you do in my position?

For 14 years, my parents took care of me, but I never felt affection. But my sister. She's a different story. My parents showered her with attention, praises, love, and etc, and I can see why. My sister is superior to me in every way, academically, physically, as a person, etc. But I'm not much compared to her, and I think that's why I've always been the black sheep.
I remember that day when we were talking about what we wanted to be when we grew up. My sister was 7ish, and she said a vet. My parents were all over her, saying how good it was that she wanted to help little animals. I was 4ish, and I said a fossil digging person (after watching Jurassic Park haha). They told me it was silly to spend my time digging up bones. I
Or the fact that my parents have infinite numbers of videos of my sister, and yet not a single one of me. That broke my heart.
So, how do I earn my parents' respect and affection?

He's only home once every so often, and even when he is, all he ever does it do his work, read the news, or check the stocks. I used to hug him and all that, but now I feel that he is a stranger I don't know. What should I do about this?

But I recently realized that although my parents have endless numbers of videos of my sister in her first halloween costume, play, ballerina performance, etc, they don't have a single video of me. I've been in the family for 14 damn years, and I've never enjoyed being the blacksheep, but that broke my heart. What should I do?

My aunt lives w/ my dad & I, but they dont date or anything she is supposed 2 be the "care taker" while my dad is offshore. The thing is my aunt was supposed 2 have left her boyfriend of 14yrs(off & on) but she still keeps in contact w/ him & they constantly fight which makes her depressed & she drinks all the time 2 deal w/ it. Her children dont want her drinkin anymore but she is old enough 2 do wat she wants. But I am the one havin 2 live w/ her and always be stuck in the middle of everything. I cant take it anymore. I always think about movin to my moms, who lives out of state, but i dont want 2 leave my dad b/c I am all he really has left. I am old enough to have a say so in wat goes on but its hard when she really has no place 2 go and I dont want to hurt anyone in the process of myself keeping a sane mind. But then again i dont wanna be selfish.

Let's say you and your sibling (who you have a great relationship with) are now grown, married, and have kids the same age. Your spouses also get along like best friends.

What would you think if they wanted to move into a home on the same block as you? A good idea or too close for comfort, and why? Thanks.

Do you keep enforcing their areas that nobody should touch and what to do if the problem happens? Teach them not to do drugs and drink? Have a secret passwod in case there is a need for it? Tell them not to go with anyone without your permission? What is the most important teaching a child should have from birth? So many parents do not think of teaching their children concerns that happen in the real world. My hope with this question is that your child gets one more bit of help to stay safe. What do you want your child to know?

I have heard of so many people who leave strange things to charities or people they briefly met. I am so curious as to what they were thinking when they made such a decision. So maybe I will ask the living, if you created your will right now, what would you leave to whom, (sister, brother, etc).

My brother is funny, outgoing, and has a STRONG peronsality... almost intimdating at times. We have alot of fun and are now adults with kids. But he still looks at me wierd if I laugh funny, or imtate me if I mix my words up. In between all the fun times, and sometimes during them he seems to 'make fun of me'. When I ask him to stop something he argues with me and blame shifts back onto me. I felt it was getting out of hand as my kids sometimes ask him to stop something that started out as fun and he doesn't. I emaile him and told him 4 things that need to stop and that I am now taking seriously. He emailed me back rudely. So I just told him 'fine, you are out of our lives until you can show repsect'. I am in my 30's this needs to stop. He blame shifted and told me that I am being manipulting him and holding my kids randsom and that he won't kiss my BUTT. I took that as blame shifting... What is his problem.. why did it come to this.. could my confident brother be insecure?

I am 16 and I live with my mom, dad and sister. My mom demands perfection and well, I simply can't meet her expectations. She fits the criteria for emotionaI, verbal and psycological abuse. My sister gave up and now acts like my mom to please her and my dad told me to suck it up and wait the two years till I graduate. I know that I need to do something, yet that last time I tried standing up for myself, my mom refused to look at me without crying. I don't else what else to do - I see nothing good about myself and all I do is cry. I want help or, maybe a way to escape; i wouldn't know how to use anyone'se advice. I want to get better because I am hurting my friends, boyfriend and grades at school. A counselor would be nice, but my town is too isolated. I am running out of places to go. Please help. I can give more details about my mom here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjJjvGtJHzvJKrefYG9IlxDsy6IX?qid=20061203132041AAjb50P

In 1982 my family and I went to Knoxville for the World's Fair...it was awful...we arrived late to our "motel" which was a trailer in a trailer park...in fact our trailer had been modified into two units...the guy next to us told us he had an apartment!! LOL! It was hot, people were passing out from the heat, the exhibits were poorly done and uninteresting, food was bad, my cousin wandered off and we could not find him, my brother and I got into a big fight!! My dad kept trying to act like it was fun, when he too, was deeply disappointed...not a good two days at all. Even to this day when I pass through Knoxville and see the Sunshpere I shudder! Now many years later, we laugh about this trip...for some reason we bring it up everytime we all get together!

My mother in law lives overseas. We saw each other during the holidays, and had a disagreement. She is somewhat unstable I learned, and basically, I refused to let her walk all over me and go behind my back and tell everyone I was a crappy parent or do thing with my daughter I told her not to do. She is very manipulative and controlling, and to retaliate, she completely cut me off. We had some pictures taken of the family while they were in town, and I want my pictures. They were originally being sent to me, then I would send hers to her. Well, the company lost the address, and she told them to send them to her mother's. If she doesn't send me my copies, should I play, too and stop sending her picture updates on my daughter? Or should I still send her the group emails even if she has completely cut me off from anything in her family?

I don't know if I should stop sending her stuff, too. Would still sending her stuff be being a doormat? Or would it be being the bigger person?
