Family - March 2007

First off, I love my inlaws as people and they think the world of me, but they still drive me nuts sometimes.

They are messy people. They live on a farm, and the house looks like the barn. Dirty dishes, dogs running crazy, tons of cats in the garage, garbage piled up.

I have put in a lot of time around the farm with construction projects, even though my wife and I live 1 1/2 hrs away. The inlaws do appreciate this.

Recently I re-drywalled and painted a spare room in the house for my wife and I to stay in when we visit. This was after the roof leaked and ruined the ceiling in the room. We brought our own bedding, etc to furnish it.

The 4 dogs in the house tore up the bedding, and the inlaws did nothing to stop them or keep them out of the room I refinished. I didnt say anything to the inlaws but they knew I was p*ssed off.

My wife has big plans for me to redo other rooms of the house-- painting, ripping up floors.

Do I have a right to be irritated and stop the projects?

Everyone else is fine because they were not the ones screwed over. This is family and I want to be over it too. Besides the Sh** starting confrontation factor, what can I do to not let it boil up inside of me?

My good friend recently lost his twin brother, and his sister-in-law. He's the only family left to look after his 21yr old nephew and 16 yr old niece now, who are very upset.

People say the bond between twins is like no other, and the pain of twin loss is excruciating. But the thing is, he's not sad. He's actually rather calm and stoic, but he's usually this way. At most, he's less talkative than usual. He hasn't shed a tear, or talk in any way about his feelings. He insists he's fine, and focusing on 'celebrating their lives'.

I tend to think he's just putting on a brave face so he can put his nephew and niece first, but it's almost worrying. Is this grieving/healing process normal? Is there anything I can do to help?

My mother wants my Wife, Son and me to have our picture made to put in the church picture/phone directory. The problem although my wife and I are a member of this Church, we no longer attend this Church. We have not attended in 5 years. We have grown tired of the Lutheran ways and have been going to other Churches to try different denominations. I feel that my mother want us to have this picture made because she is worried what people might think if my family and I do not have our picture in this directory. I told here we did not want to get this picture made but she said "do it for her." I don't like the guilt trip but how do I tell my mother I don’t want to get the picture made and not hurt her feelings? My mother worries herself to death about these kind of thinks that seem like no big deal to me. But I hate to make her cry and then my dad will feel bad and he will get a hard time from here because if this issue. This can drive a family apart. Help Please.

My mom had a vision and an experience. She said that Jesus came down and en-seminated her, meaning sex and gave birth to me. I never met my father so this makes perfect sense.

ok...where to begin....my huband of 20 years just recently reconnected with his first 2 children from a previous marriage....a boy 30 and a girl 28....it was tough at first but eventually all was well....so we thought....the son has never been a problem...he is wonderful and we both have a great and loving relationship with him....we thought for a few months that it was the same with his daughter....but we eventually started seeing intense jealousy issues....to the point that we stopped telling her we were seeing her brother or other 2 step siblings....it caused her to get quite and very moody if we visited with anyone else but her....she has to be the center of attention.....she is jealous of me even...she manipulates her dad into feeling sorry for her and puts him on huge guilt trips....he feeds right into her...this has taken a big toll on our marriage and his relationship with the other children..she consumes his time daily..how do i get him to see what its doing to the rest of us?

My dad gets a ton of stress at work and he always takes it out on my family. Just today my mom accidentally hung up his phone call and he just totally flipped out at my mom like screaming and cursing her off. Its a lot worse sometimes though, and sometimes so he gets so insanely mad i end up crying hysterically (which is really rare for me being 15) but whenever i start crying or anything he just gets even more violent and ends up like pulling out my hair or throwing me against a wall or something and i cant take it anymore! I dont know what his problem is but he just always assumes he's right in what he's doing and can do whatever he wants. What can i do to get this to end?

last night i came home and my wife said i don't get to have any food tonight. i tried to get my wallet by she blocked the door to my office where i keep it and wouldn't let me have. so i ran to the door and she almost wouldn't let me put on my shoes but i managed to escape. i shamingly went to McDonalds and bought the 99 cents meal, because it was the only thing i could afford without my wallet. then i went home and she wouldn't let me in my room and made me sleep on the porch. i got really cold and in the morning right when i woke up she made lick the dog four times. i started crying again and she made fun of me. how can i stop getting so depressed?

I have been married for five years and have a child from a previous
marriage. My son's birthday has never been celebrated by my husband's family though my in-laws have always sent him a card small present. My husband's brother has never acknowledged our son's birthday. My brother-in-law now has twins and we gave them a mountain of presents last year when the children were born but still they ignored our son's birthday. My brother-in-law's children celebrated their 1st birthday and we again gave presents, a card and rang them to say happy birthday.They have again ignored our son's birthday this year - no card, no call, nothing. Do we continue to send presents to their children or accept
that they're just not interested?

When my husband was a kid, his dad (my Father in law) had post-vietnam stress disorder. He would beat his kids, my husband included. For some reason, I can forgive my FIL for this--- he was sick and needed help. I can't fogive my MIL though. I hate her for it. She knew about it all along and did nothing. Allowed her kids to be beaten for YEARS. Would you hate her for this? My husband has forgiven her. I think she's a selfish, controlling woman. Never have liked her. Never will.
