Family - April 2007

She wants me to be a mindless zombie and do everything her way. I don't explain to her all my reasons for doing things because I just don't feel like it--not because they're bad reasons. We definitely are not as close as we used to be, and I doubt she has any feelings of motherly love fore me. It isn't that she neglects me or anything, she's good that way, but she's so annoying! And it honestly hurts that I can't talk to her without having a normal conversation. The smallest thing she turns into an arguement and basically, I would rather be a starving child in Africa. Then I would just die and have nothing to worry about.....

I work with my mother at my second job. I NEED to quit this job because they are giving me more hours than I asked for and my other job and home/family is severly suffering with my constantly being gone. However, my mother is taking her vacation in June and wants me to stay at this job so she makes sure she gets her vacation off. But if I stay at this job any longer I going to snap. What would you say to your mother who I think is being quite selfish?

My son's dad is taking me to court for visitation. He has not been in his life for over 4 years. I don't agree with tues., thurs, & every other weekend. He told me he wants to see him now because I put him in for child support. The more visitation the less he has to pay. I want it to start gradually. With like a couple of hours a week, no over nights.

She is a severe alcoholic and severely abused and at times outright abandoned my husband and his 7 siblings. The only thing that has changed since then is her alcohol problem has gotten worse. I have a strong close family and don't always feel okay with not allowing our son around her. The two times he has seen her have been extremely negative experiences for us. He is just a baby and she is so mean to him with her actions and language. She gave him her dog's toy with slobber all over it for him to play with. Her house is covered in animal feces and pee. As far as allowing her in my home, its out of the question because of her drunken and sober lashings towards me. She has told the whole family my son isn't my husband's and its completely false. She doesn't know we had to see a fertility specialist for a year just to have our son. Help anyone. I just need to know if we are being fair. I don't want to enable her and her drinking.

My ex and I already have 1 child together. Now I am pregnant with his second child. He asked me to marry him the 1st time and I said no. (this is when I was skinny) Now my mother mentioned that we should get married and he says - he can't , he won't. (now that I am 100 lbs heavier) Anyway he used to be okay, he was in classes to be in law enforcement well then he got a dwi and that's out the window. So now he is a bum, 22 living at home with parents and no job, sleeps all day, goes to bars at night. He does have the potential to be good though. Anyway his parents are paying his child support. I'm really ticked off at him though - he has no responsibility!!! I am at the point where I feel I should have a talk with one of his parents about making him step up to the plate. Would that be appropriate? Also, what should I say / What big points to mention? Should we get married? We are already making a family. He is so immature. I wish he would just grow up and get responsible already.

I am in a backwards relationship. It is an agreement we made together a long time ago. I work and he stays home with the kids. I do help, especially on my days off, by cooking and helping around the house. But since I work full time should HE have primary responsibility over the home? It seems like nothing gets done around here! He says he does but I don't see it. We always have dirty dishes and dirty clothes every where and its always cluttered. What do you think?

Friday was my birthday. When my parents were cutting my cake, they started arguing. They were yelling at each other, and then my older brother started arguing with them. As soon as they started arguing, i set my plate down and left the room. If this was the 1st time they did this, i would have no problem. But, they constantly are fighting. I was severly upset. I wasnt upset about not getting anything as a present for my birthday, i was upset that my family couldnt be a family for just one day. That too, my 18th birthday. After i left the room, i got my car keys and left the house for about 3 hours, just driving around. I didnt answer their phone calls. When i got home, i went straight to my room. The next day, i didnt come out of my room all day, even with the pleading from my family.

I dont feel that i am making a strong enough statement!

What should i do to get their attention, and make them realize they were wrong.


p.s. im still in my room!

She has literally put me thru hell since she was about 10 yrs old. She was 11 months old when her dad and I divorced and he is a crook and liar. She discovered how to manipulate and get her way and he used it to his benefit and now that she is an adult, its not so funny and he has conveniently extricated her from his life. She is a mess. She lied on me and I had to spend my life savings in a lawsuit and really could have gone to prizon. Now I have this adult child living in my house. She runs off in my car at nite, steals my money, disappears and meets guys at my significant others house at nite because he works nites and no one is there. She throws fits and goes tromping out of my house. She ran up a $1200 dollar phone bill. I cant take this anymore and I just want to get her out of here. My son has moved out and I feel like my house is a war zone. I have done everything I can to help her but my generosity has ran out and I need her to pack and get out.

Since my husband is a young doctor and tired at night, we decided to have sex in the morning before our kids get up......well we were slightly too loud and woke up our 4 year old daughter who walked in........all today she wouldnt let my husband near me because she thinks he was hurting me.....when my husband came home and asked for a kiss from her, she ran towards me and said dont hurt mommy. She hasnt left me side all day until she went to sleep....and she insisted she slept with my husband and I in our bed with us.

What can we say to get her to understand that he wasnt hurting me?

I usually become sad and a little depressed during the winter but most people do. Its been getting gradually warmer out but I still feel sad. I just found out my bf is going to Iraq soon and random things will remind me and upset me. I dislike college as well. Im not getting the grades I did in high school and I feel like I'm trying my hardest. Its very frustrating.
Im just very upset and I need words of support. I'm here alone in my house and my boyfriends out with his old college buddies. I don't want to ask him to come home just because I need support. (Sounds funny that I'm asking strangers for support but plz dont judge me)

My husbands brother came to stay with us because he told my husband he has no place to stay. So my husband said okay, but no cats! He has two cats. He finally got rid of one, after it attacked him several times, the last time pretty viciously. So now he is still here with one cat. We are living like this in an apartment complex where there are animals allowed, but only if we pay pet deposit and so much extra a month. If managment finds out we will get evicted for breaking our lease. No, we cannot pay extra for his cats!
He has been here around 2 months. He finally got a job about 3 weeks ago. But his truck had expired tags on it and our apt. office put a tow sticker on it. So he drove it out of the city somewhere, so it wouldn't be towed. Supposedly, until he gets enough money to license it. Except, since he moved his truck away from here, he quit that job!
When I try to talk to my husband about his brother getting a job, my husband just bulls up and gets mad at me!!

My dad is always right behind me watching everything I do. I just now went to get a cup of yogurt out of the fridge when he turns around from the couch and glared at me. Whenever I eat he glares and says "Your gonna weigh 300 lbs if you don't stop eating so much!!" and I eat healthy foods and only weigh 93 and I am 12. We never have been close, I have always been a mommy's girl. Also, next weekend I am having a sleepover with my friends for my birthday Friday night-Saturday afternoon and he says hes going to stay in a motel. He never supports anything I do like band, choir, 4-H, my dream to be a vet, etc. He always puts me down. He makes fun of my mom too, and puts her down saying she's a 'fat lard' ad sleeps all the time. She is a nurse and works 4 nights a week on nightshift, so she has to sleep some during the day. My parents want a divorce, and I sort of want them to too. But I will miss my horses because my dad owns them. I just don't see how I can get close to him. Help?

Now her love interest lives with his single mom and helps take care of his baby brother and sister and in the story he finally meets his will dad.
