Both of us have made the drive (7 hours) several times before. He will be staying (sleeping) with his grandparents and I will be staying with mine, about an hour away from eachother. We want to take a day trip to Cedar Point. He's 18, I'm 17. All we want is some company on the drive and a day together, plus, we both get to meet the others grandparents/family. His parents are fine with it, my mom says no because she doesn't want my grandparents to have to worry about things like what time I get back in, a.k.a have to be my temp. parents. I am allowed, however, to go visit my grandparents without him. But not with. What?!

After way too many years of disrespectful and rude behavior by my brother in law, I finally confronted him two Christmases ago. Ever since he has tried to humiliate me in front of family members. I tried to speak with him about the fact that I have started reacting to his rude, disrespectful behavior (shutting me up at the table, etc.; mocking me, humiliating me). I said to him that we should talk about our anger at each other and that feeling angry is one thing, but acting on it is another. I stated that I don't act out to him but that I have been and will call him on his rudeness when it occurs. He is a very intellectually bright engineer, but is behaving very immaturely. I asked him if we could treat each other the way we want to be treated. He misinterprets everything I say and assumes I am insulting him when I'm not. Then he humiliates me by mocking me, humiliating me and laughing. No one ever laughs but him because it's not funny--it's emotionally abusive. Thanks.

Just found out that my ex-brother in law is abusing cocaine again. he is not home alot, the boys are left to take care of each other since they were very young. He loves his boys, but he just isn't the greatest at buying food or clothes for them. These boys have been through so much, their mother abandoned them long ago (they are 11 and 12 yrs old now) the mom is un-fit to parent. Now all they have is their father, I am their aunt, but live 35 miles away. My mom cleans their house weekly, and she found little empty bags of cocaine today, he said he had quit, but I guess not, and no food in the home. So I took your advice, and called CPS, but CPS did not care about any of what I told them, in fact they told me that having no food in the home is very legal, because they "could" be eating out 3 times a day at Mickey d's. CPS told me it's not my biz how he raises his kids, cocaine, rotting teeth, bones showing, always home alone, no haircuts,doesn't matter,and that I was wasting her time!

My mom and I have been like best friends, so close and happy that I find it hard to believe that she is no more. I had left overseas though she didn't want me to and she had been a heart patient since three years but all I wanted in life was to give her everything in life that she desired and live forever with me than suffer. She had a lot of financial hardships and trauma and I worked as much as I coudl to relieve that pain. I flew down immediately to be with her for her surgery and we thought she would live for many years more after her pacemaker installation, so this came as a huge shock to me to see her suddenly shake like a leaf, nothing said and die in split seconds (less than a minute) whilst watching tele. How could this happen and why? My anger, sadness, loss and emptiness is making me go crazy and my dad though strong is breaking up too, what do i do cos I want her back with me and I feel have not had my chance to give her more and make her happier. Please help??

I discovered recently that my dad is having an affair. My mum knows, and she didn't tell me or my sister; although my sister made jokes about it because my dad would spend hours with his phone and became very protective of it - and I shouted at her, saying he wasn't that kind of person. My sister still doesn't know, but me and my mum talk about it; she is only slightly irritated, but not angry. Whenever she confronts him subtly (maybe hinting at liking somebody too much) he goes nuts...but only verbally. I am not afraid of him physically hurting my mum because I know he wouldn't go that far.

Unfortunately we were on holiday and my dad took the dog for a walk. He left his phone on charge and I browsed through it, seeing very deep messages between him and this woman. I was more disgusted at his replies.

My mum only works as a reception teacher, and she couldn't afford (money-wise) to live without him. I am distraught, not knowing what to do. Can anyone please suggest anything?

My new plan is that when ANYONE asks my anything I am not comfortable with, I am just going to say "I don't answer personal questions' or 'that's personal'

Now when I say this to my mother she will be defensive and tell me how I am being rude and it is a perfectly normal question... etc etc. It is all my fault of course. At that point I plan on telling her good bye and haning up the phone... or saying to my kids 'ok kids, lets go, grandma is crossing my bounderies again...' and leave (or ask her to leave if it is in my house). And refuse to discuss it further (even though she will try to get me to talk about it 'don't you want to talk about it'? "what about the kids, don't you think they need time with me?' 'don't I get one more chance?' etc). I plan on just repeating myself... 'I need to ask you to go now" over and over until she goes. Her husband can take her side.. they need to go

Does this sound like a good game plan take control of my life again?

so sorry if iv offended anyone out there, yes, i suppose i did get a bit carried away with it all.
just to clear something up to some of you, we were together for 4 years and the child was planned, he wanted the little boy as much as me, i didnt trap him, no one was involved in the break up, he did promise me with all his heart that hed always support the child and be his dad, it just hurts me when i hear the little boy talk about his dad and asks me questions about him thats all, i tell him little white lies and have NEVER rubbished his dad to him, i could never shatter the little boys illusins of his dad, so i let him carry on thinking his dad is a good guy and away with the army in another country, what more can i say.
i didnt mean to offend any other single mums out there whos also been left, some worse off than than me.
xmas, birthdays etc always make me feel like this, i know im not the only one in the world, i have moved on, honestly, i wont mention it on here again, sorry x

Ok, brace yourself - Me and my boyfriend have been together over 2 years (living together) we have a gorgeous son (8 months) We fight everyday - yelling, screaming, putting holes in the wall, it's just ridiculous- I told him that I was leaving him - moving out - and he (who lost his job due to a drug habit) is begging me not to go - because he can't make it financially and he wants me to stay until he gets his **** together - but EMPHASIZE that we are not together. I'm suffering - but I can't "abandon" him - I do care about him but I'm sacrificing my life and I'm so tired of putting my son through this - what do I do to make sure that he will still be OK? Help!

My Father is revising his will... he wants to give his house to my brother... The house is the bulk of his estate and today's current market value is about $600,000... The remainder of the estate is minimal... The lawyer has advised my Dad that this would NOT be a good thing to do and suggested another way to make it equal for my sister and I. My brother either selling the house or compensating my sister and I. But I know that my Dad WANTS my brother to have the house..

SO... do I abide by what my Dad WANTS.. and walk away with virtually nothing or do I let my Dad be persuaded by the attorney to equally divide things?? My share would be about $200,000 ... that's a lot of $$ to walk away from...

I don't really understand this. Get ready for a long winded story.

My mother and I used to be very close back when I was a teenager, but her and my sister used to fight all the time, day and night. It wasn't until my sister left the house for good to find another place to live that things started going downhill with my mother and I. It started with a bad boyfriend I chose, then quickly escalated to us fighting everyday about the smallest things.

In short, I moved out with my present boyfriend (who is much better than my previous). The fighting died down, but we still ocassionally quarrel over financial and personal situations. She hangs up on me, and doesn't talk to me for days, and instead confides in my sister (they are more close than ever now). At times my mother brings me out shopping and buys me many things that, while I do need, I feel will be used against me as guilt in a later fight.

How do I deal with this? Is she jealous I left (its almost been a year since), or is it me?

I finally got my son's father into court for child support after 11 years, when the judge asked why we never went to court before my son's father said he just found out about my son a couple years ago.(Which was a lie) he knew from day 1, but threatened to make my life and my son't life miserable if I told his family and wife (that I didn't know about).So I finally got in touch with my old attorney and I have documentation that my son's father had refused DNA testing when my son was 2,and offered to sign over all rights at that point.Which we didn't end up doing, but I now got the guts to take him to court for help, I am filing for contempt today due to he has not paid support since the order 4 weeks ago nor did the medical that was ordered,Now that I have proof that he lied to the judge,can this be brought up? He told the judge that he would've been involved all along to have a relationship,but wants no visitation now.Please help me
