Family - April 2007

Me and my wife got married 1 1/2 year ago, and we now have a 3 1/2 month old son. Her parents love to visit all the time, but my mother comes around about once a month. My parents are divorced, and have been for 13 yrs. They get along fine now, and my father comes to see his grandson at least once a week. He lives about 30 minutes away from us. Here is the bad part she (my mother) only lives 100 yrds from our house, and only visits once a month. She goes and visits with some friends of hers at least 2 times a week because of there new baby.so what is wrong with her coming to visit her own grandson? i dont know what to do, or should i just let it be. This situation really bothers me and my wife. I have tried talking to her about it. She acts like it's nothing, and blows it off.

He's driving me nuts with these stupid jokes about mentally ill people! I'm tired of it because we both know my mother is mentally ill and she can't help it! Or when he makes fun of the mentally retarded and my friend is very sensitive to that subject because she was friends with some mentally retarded people whom died just a few years ago! He even thought my mother shouldn't share her stuff with her friends that are also checked into the health clinic she's at because he thinks they're steal it! I'm sick of him thinking so downward at people for dumb reasons! What can I say to get him to stop because I'm afraid of what he'll do if I talk back at him because he's very temperamental

A couple of decades ago, I was bullied by family members to place my child up for adoption. I decided 10 years ago, not to seek him out, but did place a release of records in his adoption folder. Out of the blue, I received a call on my answering machine from my child's father after no contact since the papers were signed. While checking on info before calling him back, I came across my biological son's web site. There is absolutely no question that this is my son, now grown, based not only on the facts on his web page, but also his photo. He looks like me.

I know that male adoptees tend not to seek out their birthparents, so I'm not sure what, if anything, I should do. I am satisfied that he had a good life. I have no desire to interfere in his life, but on the other hand, I'd like him to know that he wasn't just abandoned. If you are a male adoptee, what would be your thoughts on this? He is only an email away, yet I don't want to let the genie out of the bottle.

I want to move out when im finished with college but in my culture it is customary for the children to live with the parents until marriage. Is it a bad thing? What are the pros and cons of both options??

Okay, I am 14, and my little brother is 10 and my sister is 8. They always touch my stuff without my permission and its so annoying. Like today, they dumped out my shampoo and conditioner [which were $20 each!] and filled them with bleach. Then, they put soap on my toothbrush, took my eyeliner and replaced it with a sharpee marker [it looked exactly the same as my eyeliner], and went on my computer and put all these gay viruses on it. OMG they are so annoying. I told my mom but all she said was "ok ill talk to them". 5 hours later, they stole $30 from my purse and came into my room and read my diary. And last night, my brother and his friend took my bra and put it in the freezer. What do I do? I CANT STAND THEM ANY LONGER!

I found out when I was 31 that the man who I thought was my Father wasn't! Turns out the man who is my father was married at the time and having an affair with my mother. He came around for 5 yrs then went back to his married life as though I never exsisted. I am now 40 and this has been eating at me for 9 years, what is my background, what does he look like.
He is alive and well and only about 10 miles from my house.
My mother told me he was a "jerk" and very self centered. His wife now was the wife 40 years ago when he was having an affair with my mother.
She told me he never paid a dime in child support and she didn't ask for it. She also listed her husband which I thought was my father on my birth certificate. My mother died in 1999 and she told me to contact him and make him pay she had alot of suppressed anger towards him.
I wrote a him a letter but haven't mailed it yet. Any advice? I am so scared of the outcome.
Help....

If feel that my mom dosen't want me to socialize with other people and go hang out at the mall with my friends thats why im so shy because she dosen't let me socialize or experience things in life that your suppose to know. She always complain about how im lazy she dosen't really understand what it's like for a teenager it's very tiring and you just want to have time alone to be by yourself and have me time. I feel that 11 year old sister gets privillages and i don't at all when she asks to do something she gets to do it. But when i ask for something it's a problem it's always i don't have money or im not taking you anywhere. I want to know why this is happening? And what can i do to stop it?

Last year i was TORMENTED by my classmates, everyday. I've been called EVERY INSULT in the world! So i tried to hang myself at school, someone told, and i got suspended for a day. Nothing else happened, my parents offered to get me medication..but I never got that or the help that i desperately & OBVIOUSLY needed. Is it because I am not good enough? Why didn't I get the help that I needed? Why didn't anyone help me? Everyone knew what I was going through, and how close I was to suicide. No one helped me, I still don't get it. Why didnt my parents step in and help me? They tell me everyday that they love me, and we have a lot of money, so it isnt like paying for help would have been an issue. Sorry for whining, I just need some words of wisdom. Since Im never going to be good enough, should I have gone through with it? Im a waste of space.

I mean a relationship were they tell you they are going to do things you really do not want them to do. Like going out to drink alcohol with other minors - but you set some of the rules. My daughter told me she choses to tell me and if she wanted, could lie to me instead. I believe honesty is essential but can being this open be a bad thing too?

We have a family member who lives in a retirement home, she has her own apt., not assisted living. But when we take her clothes home to wash, we have tryed different kinds of laundry soaps, even baking soda in the wash, nothing seems to help to get odor out. She is not a diabetic, just a heavy person in weight, we love her dearly.

He disapears every friday for about three hours at night,my mom is at work so she dosen't know when he leaves,about 6 months ago I called my mom and told her that he wasn't there and it was already 12:00am.Then my mom called him and asked him were he was,he got mad at me and came screaming in my room asking me why I had called my mom and told her he wasn't there,I didn't answer him and just ignored him,ever since I have told my mom when he leaves but I have asked her to please not tell him I told her.Last week I was brave enough to tell my mom in front of him that he had left for hours and I didn't know were he was,he got really mad at me and didn't talk to me for a while.Another thing that is suspicious about him is that he dosen't let me even open his cellphone,and I'm starting to think that he's hiding something in there.My mom also thinks he's cheating on her,but dosen't tell him anything ,do you think he's cheating on her???

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a brat, and I respect my parents. I just want to present this in a way that they will understand why I want to go. If you have done something similar, and it helped you please let me know.
