Family - March 2007

I need some serious help reguarding my family. 1st of all I am divorced with a 7yr old daughter. About a year & a half ago, my boyfriend/fiance moved in w/us. He also has 2 children of his own, which we have been raising together. The problem is that this has been EXTREMENLY overwhelming for me. Suddenly I have 3 kids to take of. He helps, but not as much as I need him to.

Ok, so I have a problem with my dad, well actuall mom and dad but anyways umm it's like this. Im 17 (as of today) and I have been living with my dad for 6 years now since my parents divorced, and my mom hasn't paid her child support (only $175.00 for me and 2 brothers) since May of '04. My dad has been getting me to ask her for it when that is clearly HIS responsibility. I'v been under that pressure for years. He's also very controlling and doesn't exactly "care" about ones feelings. Long story short, how do I tell him to quit putting me in the middle of HIS battles between him and my mom? It's getting serious, adn I dont know what to do, and moving isn't exactly an option......

The man, named as my father on my birth certificate has many features like me, like the slanted eyes, smooth complexion, head shape, & somewhat the hair texture. His hair is straight, but mine is wavy. My mother has nappy hair.

My brothers & sisters are telling me & my twin sister that we're not his child. They tell us that another man that has big, bubble eyes & nappy hair is our father. Our mother has baggy eyes & nappy hair.

My biological mother starts many rumors about her children to make us look bad, so do you think that they are giving her a false reputation to get revenge on her?

I'd really like to know if the man named on me & my twin sister's father. My mother is still married to him after all these years, but I will admit that I do have some siblings that don't look like this man because they're dark skinned, & me & my twin are brown skinned like my mom, & my dad & 3 siblings are light skinned.

To me, this is terrible, frustrating, lets me really down. He's 15 and I know he's a good boy, but is going through a difficult phase. I don't know why he lies so much. Unfortunately now it's hard to trust him.

How can I deal with this and change him without destroying our relationship forever? I was a teen too and I know how hurtful it is for a teen to know his parents don't trust him or her anymore. I know this is devastating, so I want to do something to show him it's not worth lying and breaking promises, that I'm disappointed and that this fatally has hard consequences. But I don't want to break his spirit and so I want to let him know that I still love him and he'll have my trust back if he sincerely decides to change.

i think co-hibiting allows you to live with your love, and since people change and life change, it also gives you extra flexbility to change your life partner if things don't work out, why people still get married?

Her parents are super strict and they never give her a chance to speak her mind about anything. They never give her the chance to do anything. They pick and choose her friends for her, basically what she wears and everything she does. Even the sports she does and her extracurricular activities at school. She wants to talk to them about giving her more options to do things in her own, after all, it is HER life, not their's. Are there any ways to go about this in a GOOD way, so her parent's don't automatically go "no" and don't even let her express her feelings? How would some of you guys go about this? What would you guys say?

My brother is 22 years old. 2 years ago he told my parents he had social anxiety disorder so my mom took him to the doc. He has been labled with depersonalization and OCD ( but with obssessive thoughts not behaviors). Anyhow, this all started his second year in college after he had trouble fitting in and was doing drugs, etc. My mom is sure it is schitzophrenia because an aunt has this. She just won't let up that she is right on her diagnosis. The last two docs they went to diagnosed her with the same OCD my brother has because she obsesses on his problems so much and babies him and told her they did not want to see her anymore. He is so disrespectful and comes to my sister and my house at least 3 times a week, he eats us out of house and home and has ill manners. We have said things subtly to him, but he continues to ignore what we ask. She will not even make him work, go to school, do housework, etc. My parents can't afford to continue supporting him financially. What do I do?

okay i had a pretty hard life i was adopted at birth. On April 4th 1998 my adopted momther had died.Of cancer. At that point all i had left was my dad. However i wasnt aware that i was adopted. So my dad couldnt afford to take care of me anymore. And during those times when we lost my mom he became a drunk abusive. Then wen i relized i was adopted i moved in with my biological parents. And now i dont get along with my parents. they think im on drugs and that i have sex and stuff. it stresses me out completely. and like its affecting my relationship with my boyfreind. who i love completely and he is litterally my everything.

And im starting to fall apart. i dont know who to cope with all of this besides crying is that what i should do??

My mom has been addicted to World of Warcraft for over a year now. It's all she ever talks about and all she ever does. This is one of the hardest things I have had to deal with in my 20 years on earth, even though my father is an alcoholic. I have no idea what to do to help her. My mom got worse after I moved away in September of 2005, I moved back in September of 2006 and I didn't know how bad it was as I only visited twice in the year that I lived about 300 miles away. Now I am back living at "home" until my boyfriend and I can get a place of our own. It is terrible seeing her as a zombie, she used to be so healthy and full of life. Now, she even takes days off work if something goes wrong in the game (usually something with her guild), and she took a day off when the expansion came out. The depth of the problem is so hard to get into. I don't know what to do. I am pregnant with her first grandchild and she doesn't even seem to care, as it is not WoW related. I am so hurt.

Is it just me who think that kids should be slapped to make them behave, to make them think twice about trying to be one of those bullying little a*seholes. I'm 14 so this rule would apply to me too, but I'm sick of being a teenanger and being stereo typed as one of those stupid idiots. Not all teens are thick enough to carry knives and go around mugging for the fun of it. My dad used to slap me, my brother and my sister and we all turned out alright enough to know how to respect other people. Those old punishments used in schools in countries like India and Kenya help stop children misbehaving and doing stuff wrong. Why not use them here? Or are we just going to complain about these minority of kids and do nothing until it spreads into the rest of us. If people complain that they don't want to be slapped, they could just behave to stop it from happening. It's not about rights, it's about common sense.

I am getting some recipes together to make a cookbook in honor of my Grandmother and My mom. I send emails to my family telling them that if they don't want to participate then they have to by the cookbook from me, is this is right? Its going to cost me about $300.00 for 20 books. Any ideas of how I could do it for cheaper or how to get the family more involve on this project? I want to be fair with everybody. I also want to have ready for Mother's Day. Thank you this is my first time doing this kind of project and if its succesful it will be more to come!

His kids can be unruly and disrespectful in rude rude ways....name calling etc......They pretend they like me and when they go back to their moms they text message me rude rude things and name call. I am upset over this. My fiancee says he will do something about it. I however don't know what to do or say to the kids. It is basically ONE boy mostly. He is a terror sometimes. I am so nice to all of them and this is what I get in return? It hurts. What is your advice for ME? Serious answers only please. This is really going on and is not getting any easier for me. My child doesn't act like this to my fiancee'. The mother of these kids thinks it is okay for them to act this way.

They Want Nothing Anything More To Do With Him. He Still Has A Good Job, But If They Call At Home, Most Times He's Way To Drunk To Go Out And Help. If He Talks To Them At All. I Have Made The Mistake Of Excuses For Him. If He's Passed Out I Cant Wake Him. Or He Gets Really Really Pissed IF I Tell Anyone He's Home..A Far As I Know He's Not Drinking On The Job, But Who Knows. He Doesn't Think Theirs Any Issue. But We All Have Tried And Tried Begged For Him Just To Concider Their Might Be A Problem. He Is The Worse Drunk On Earth. He Was Physicaly Abusive Years Ago, Untill I Fought Back And Kicked HIS ***. But Then I Was As Bad As He. He Never Rembers Anything The Day After. So I Have Been Taping Him. Not For Anyother Reason But To Hear Himself. Won't Listen, Or Thinks Tape Altered.But The Forgetfulness Is Very Different Now, Now He Doesn't Remember Things From One Min To The Next.Which At That Time He Doesnt Remember Where The Toilet Is .Not Married w/o Kids Can I Get Him Comitted Help

My parents took my car away from me because their car got taken away because they got short on money and didn't pay payments on the car, but my parents did give me $100 so i can get this car from my grandma but they took it away the same day that i bought it and my dad told me that he is gonna sale it to a girl he works with for $500 and my parents are gonna use the money for a down payment on there own car, but i think this is completely wrong after all i'm 17 years old and i just got a job and so i think they can just take what ever they want when they gave there kid money for a car and then rob her of it. What do you think about this crap?

My boyfriend and I just recently broke up. I still love him and want to be with him but after everything we've been through I dont have it in me to fight for him anymore I just want someone that wants to be with me but I now have a big problme because for the last month I havent been on any sort of birth control and we've been together several times. I told him this the last time we spoke and he was understandably upset and the next day told me he's not going to be answering my phone calls or texts anymore. I think it's really childish of him to be doing that to me but I guess I cant be surprised that he's mad at me for being that careless. I've already accepted the fact that I'll be doing this on my own if I am pregnant but I dont want my kid to not even know their father. I left him a message asking him if he even wanted me to tell him if I was pregnant and he wont respond I have other ways of contacting him and getting word to him but should I even bother?
