Family - April 2007

I have a boyfriend somewhat I am 39 years old, and a first time mother to a 16 month old and when he was born I decided not to put the father on the birth cerificate(boyfriend) because I wasn't sure if his heart would be into it. In my opinion you are a full time parent regardless of the situation. We all live together and he has yet to give his son his name and he was a loving father but over the past 2 months that has changed hangs out with his friends and the other night he stayed out all night and came home the next afternoon, my thoughts are to get rid of him and just raise my son without him.
My son is the most inportant person in my life and I owe him protection from a indfferent father at times.

I've been living out of my parents house for over a year. And before that I lived with a friend for a little while and then went back home with my parents, to make them feel good. Well, I live four hours away, and I have a good job and am well...just good. If I don't call my parents within 3 or 4, God forbid even FIVE days, they go nuts, and call my phone and leave me messages to make me feel guilty in a passive way. Sometimes it feels like a chore to call them, because I know I have to call them in 2 or 3 days, or I feel like the worst daughter ever. I'm not perfect or anything. I'm the second and last child. I want to want to call them, but they even give me a chance to miss them. Its been like this since last June, and its mostly on my dad's end, and my mom just follows along. By the way I'm 20. I know its normal for my parents to feel whatever they are feeling, but is it really necessary to call them so much, just to please them? Its getting tiring.

I have deepest sympathy at this moment. I am so sorry for your loss. I could not imagine losing a child or loved one in this manner. They were so young with so much life left to give.

I lost my father in January due to a long term illness. Even though I knew he was dying, when it finally happened, my heart grieved so. I had never felt such a heaviness in my life. I would never wish this feeling on anyone. I still cry frequently, especially when I see something that reminds me of him. Easter was the hardest on the family. A holiday without a loved one.

My prayers are with you all.

Sorry this was not a true question, just my feelings.

What do you make of this?My daughter,16,has for the last few months been telling me she hears someone walking across the landing late at night & stopping outside my door.She said she hears nothing after that.On some occasions she has heard them actually walk up the stairs,across the landing & stand there.I asked her how she knows they are outside MY DOOR & NOT HERS-as my room is next to hers-she said she has seen the shadow & can see where they are stood.I am an extremely light sleeper-anything can wake me-yet i`ve heard nothing.Many times this has happened.At first i thought she might be asleep or imagining it-all the usual stuff-but now my son,15,has told me he has heard it too. His room is sort of in the middle of the landing,& he said a few times he`s heard someone walk upstairs,walk across the landing,& then stop near my door somewhere.He hears nothing after that.He said he doesn`t tell me when it happens-next day whatever-coz he doesn`t want to scare me.I don`t feel scared-but...

ok. my mom is so mean to me. the other day she found my white shirt in with all the dark cloughs and she got so mad at me. i have no idea how the shirt got in there but when i try to explain my self all she sais is shut up i dont want to here it. if i open my mouth to try to say something she says shut up all ready we all know you did it. and that builds up so much anger inside of me. she has done this to me so many times. like the other day she found out that i had a bad grade in s.s. and thats because the teacher dosnt upload grades. i opened my mmth to say because the teacher dosnt upload grades and she stoped me when i said becau... SHUT UP. thats all she says. and she always mentions the bad stuff about me to all my family. the other day i set a world record and made history along with 600 other people, and does she mention that to my family, NO all she could say is that i failed s.s. and that i didnt make the volley ball team.

I grew up in a Baptist church, but have been away from church for a year or so. My fiancee and I have been to a United Church of Christ in the past few weeks. He really likes it, but I'm not very comfortable there, because the minister has preached some things that are not Biblical. For example, he will not take a stand on how to be saved. He says it's not his place to decide who is right and who is wrong. But the Bible is clear on how to be saved. Anyway, my fiancee wants to continue attending there, and he said I can go where ever I want. But I'd really like for both of us to go to the same church....especially once kids come into the picture. Any advice on what I should do?

My younger brother said something really hurtful and offensive to me in front of my whole family. Should I confront my brother in front of the family or how should I go about it?

A 17 year old girl had a baby. The mother's parents had legal guardianship and were assisting her raising the baby. One day in school, she told her guidance counselor she was having stress. The guidance counselor arranged a meeting with an adoption agency the next day, and had the minor sign adoption papers without her parent's knowledge. The guidance counselor and adoption agency assisted the teenager in running away from home and hiding her whle she signed the papers. They then took the baby away and sold her for upwards of $10,000.

What do you think of this? All opinions welcome. For more information you can search the web at

to read more, but I'm curious on your thoughts. Was this an ethical adoption? Should a minor be able to sign a contract without their parent's knowledge or consent?

I have paid my whole way through college (about $30,000). I still owe about $3700. My Mom and step-dad (who do not talk and are not married anymore) split the money owed so I could graduate in June. I want to do something inexpensive for both of them (seperatly) as a way of saying thank you. I need an idea for my step-dad (whom I am not very close with anymore). He likes gunsmithing, animals, hunting etc. Any ideas?

Teenager problem! Hates School.?
I hate school. I cannot stand my school do I skip it almost every day. Luckily, I am A smart person and I'm in all of the advanced classes and don't have reputation as a rebel. Only the people who really know me know about my strange feelings. My parents don't care - they don't even mention it if I don't go to school. What I end up doing is leeping all day and then staying up all night talking to my girlfriend. I get behind in my work and when I try to go back to school I get a bunch of crap from my teachers and friends. I just get so depressed when I considering dropping out altogether, but I really don't want to do that because I realize it would ruin my life. I don't want to go back at all but I also don't want it to ruin my life. I am so confused and I have really tried to go back and juzt can't take it. What should I do? please help
