Family - March 2007

I have this relative she is 21 years-old, and has four children, a 7YO, 4YO,and a set of 20 mo.old twins. She is homeless, jobless, and sanctioned from welfare,(didn't comply with some thing.) The father of the children is 23YO, and is in jail for beating up my relative. Any ways, she told her mom (who is also incarcerated), that she was giving her kids to the state. I feel so bad for her, any thoughts?

I'm baffled. My son is almost 16 and hasn't shown any interest in getting his driver's license. What's up with that?

My brother in law thinks that there isn't anything on the planet that is spicy enough to make his eyes water. We've tried everything we can think of. Short of putting battery acid in his food, is there anything you can suggest? He's not my favorite brother in law so if it burns his tongue off thats fine with me!

ok, its weird how i respected my dad,step dad,other of my siblings and other of my relatives, but when it comes to my mom, i love her, but i naturally tend to get angry at her most of the time. its like she always like to complain and the worst part she repeats it non-stop when i finally understood, i dont see other people in my family doing that. like today i was doing hw, she told me to sign a paper she was going to pay for a school picture i was suppose to hand in tommorow, then i said "i'll do it in a few min" she got mad and said i been dong my hw all morning and i never said that, so i signed the paper in anger cause i didnt want the pic she did. then she screamed at me and said shes the one paying (thats true) but i never wanted the pic so shes wasting her money cause she wants to. its like i feel like im going to pop a vessel when i talk to her. i literally turn red when she does that. its hard to love her, when shes like this. what should i do?

I'm your typical teenager in a lot of ways. I love music, I have a MySpace, I procrastinate, and I like to hang out with my friends.

But I'm also a bit unusual in a lot of other ways. I actually like school, I talk about politics, I'm not a big fan of makeup, and I'm not afraid to say that I love my mom.

Unlike most kids & parents that I know, my mom and I are like best friends. Or, at least, we used to be. Growing up I never really had a dad around, and she was always willing to make sacrifices for me. I've always treated her with respect and vise versa.

She's had depression for a few years now. She does take medication for it, but the problem is, it still affects the way she acts around me.

My mom doesn't get sad all too often. But the thing is, her depression makes her angry a lot (and most of the time it's unjustified). One time I simply asked her to help me with my homework because I didn't understand it (she's always insisting that she help) and she took my notebook and told me to come back in an hour so she could figure it out. When I came back she handed it to me and said she didn't get it. I thanked her for trying, and she sneered, "Well, I didn't really try." And then went to her room and shut the door.

Or something may happen at work, and she'll take it out on me. One time we were taking the bus and she was just staring out the window distantly. I asked her (politely) "What's the matter?" and she yelled, "NOTHING! What's the mater with YOU?!"

Another time we were on an airplane that had TVs embedded on the seats. You have to pay to watch the movies, but the channels were free. My mom was just sitting there (she was in the row behind me) reading, and I was watching the free channels. An announcement came on that said that the movies were free for the day. But her TV wasn't working for whatever reason, and so she got up out of her seat (even though the seatbelt signs were on) and told me to get out of my seat and trade with her. And so, for the rest of the five hour flight I sat there with absolutely nothing to do. (My iPod was dead and I didn't bring any books. She knew this, though.)

These kinds of incidents happen a few times a week, and frankly, I'm tired of acting like the parent and having to be sensitive about her problems all the time.

Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of good times together, and she's normally really nice. But I'm tired of putting up with this.

I am currently in the 9th grade. I am badly wanting to transfer schools. I live 2 hours away from the shool I want to transfer to. My family(grandparents, cousins, ect.) live near and go to that school. The problem is, my mother will not let me transfer. I want to transfer schools because my family goes to that school and I have no family at my current school, and my boyfriend of 6 years goes to that school and I haven't seen him for 2 years. My grandparents(60 & 64) will let me stay with them until school is out next school year. This school year ends in approximatly 65 days. My grandparents don't show their ages-they are constantly on the move and are in great health. I don't really understand why my mother will not let me transfer schools. Can someone please help me talk my mom into letting my transfer?
Thanks!

To paint you a picture. I am 22 (Female) and I live with my boyfriend (21) he and his father own their own import and export comapny along with god knows how many other companies. We live very comfortably and live in an apartment together. Money is not an issue...although it doesnt rule our lives. I thought we were very happy but recently he has become very bad tempered and has shouted at me for the first time. He is very stressed and works nearly 24 hours a day. He has also recently developed a couple of small white patches on the back of his head in his hair...I think this is due to stress His father has recently said that he may retire in a couple of years so god only know what will happen then. Every time I tery to talk to him he clams up and says he is fine and he is making all the money he is for out future.

To top this all off I found a few pills in a jacket pocket of his whihc I have learnt are in fact speed.

We recently discovered that our 22 year old son has been helping himself to cash that we keep in the house during college breaks. Some of the cash is loose but he has actually opened our safe. Without hard proof we did not confront him, but left a note in the safe on top of the cash stating "this is not your money." He just left to go back to school and we found another $600 missing from the safe...even with the note. Honesty and ethics are at the top of our virtues list. We are mortified that our son obviously has a serious problem. I am getting ready to confront him and demand a confession and apology and get him to agree to some counseling. Any suggestions are most appreciated.

Me and his dad have split up over a year ago, we were not living together although he would stay at our place 3 or 4 days a week.
My son is nearly 5 and I do realise that all this has had a tremendous effect on him, however I've noticed lately that every time his dad is about lo leave when he visits my son or when he's dropping him back, he gets very teary and makes all sorts of excuses to prevent him from leaving.
Sometimes he has major tantrums about something unrelated to dad's departure just before he's about to leave... i can see that he's unhappy about the situation,
He spends time with his dad on a regular weekly basis and thankfully we keep a very good friendship which helps matters, however I'm just puzzled as to why my son has started showing this unhappiness now, he tells me he misses his daddy but just after he's left because during the rest of time he barely even talks about him...

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

am taking a semester off from college and my dad won't let me live at my apartment (we're paying the lease anyway) which is an hr away. He is very controlling-- he seldom lets me go out, makes up excuses for me not to see my boyfriend, and gives me stupid curfews even though I'm 21. He grounds me if I'm even 5 minutes late. He also takes his stress out on me by hitting me with the soft side of a golf club (enough to get a bruise) over stupid things like if I park my car in the wrong spot on our driveway. He and my mom used to fight a lot but they stopped when I left for college. Now that I'm home, our household is unsettling again. My mom used to intervene, but she's so scared of my dad that she now turns the other way when he loses his temper with me. She never yells at him, she yells at me because of making him angry or blames me for her non-terminal cancer, or blames me for screwing up everything. Why won't my dad let me live at my own apt? Why are my parents this way?
IDEAS??

When I was about 7 my uncle molested me and I told my aunt (his wife) about it and she just said don't say anything, he will go to jail. He just molested me once but he would harrass me for years now he is dead but my aunt is still here. Also after he molested me she knew and she would still bring me around him.....now I am 16 and I cringe when I have to be around her but she trys to be nice to me and I guess she is sorry but I just can't take it. I hate going to family gatherings because of this. Should I not be like this? How would you be around her, if she was really sorry? What should I do?
