My mother has severe depression issues. She is also married to someone 20 years older than her. They have been married 20 years. He can be very verbally abusive. She lives in Houston and I live here with my 3 children. I am a newly single mom and I also run a daycare out of my home for 3 babies 5 days a week. I want to help her in any way, but I am worried about not getting along after a few months if she lives with me. She will have to live with me because her financial situation is not good. My sibling is newly married and does not want to help right now which I can understand. My mother put me in a parental role at a very young age and I have always been expected to take care of her. She is very codependent. Am I making a mistake for me and my kids by letting her move in?

Okay so i wrote before about my BF that wouldnt tell his mom to leave our house after living there for 9 months! well he finally told her we want our own life without her breathing down our necks like we are little kids! by the way im 24 he is 28. so you see what i mean by me wanting our own life with out her there. its not that i hate or disrespect her its just shes been there long enough and is completley capable of taking care of herself! well anyways back to the reason im writing this... my bf told her he wanted her to try to find her own place she agreed. well since my bf is a little irresponsible he got a d.u.i. after a few drinks. now he cant come up with money to pay for a lawyer so he is letting his MOTHER baby him and pay for the lawyer herself which is 1,200 so instead of telling her to save her $ & he will come up with the $ himself. he is letting her pay... to be continued

Had a birthday party for my brother last night .. in his mid-30's, he still crawls under the table when we sing.

When is he going to grow up?

He did it as a kid, and stopped for a long time .. then my mother joked around about how he used to do it about ten years ago, now he does it every year.

A real comedian or really immature?

He finds the simplest things SO amusing?

We're planning on taking our boys to a theme park this summer. This is the first time we've ever taken them to something so big.They're 8,7 and 4. I want to have a good plan in case we become seperated.
What tips do you have for keeping my kids safe without being overprotective?

I told my brother that my stomach was hurting, & he got mad & yelled @ me, saying, "I HOPE u ain't been ovah eatin'!" 1st of all, I didn't even eat anything yet, & now it's 2:22 PM. I missed breakfast & lunch because of my stomach hurt. But the other day he complained about his stomach hurting. My stomach can be hurting for any reason. & I find what he said to be insulting because he's using my weight against me.

FYI, he's my brother & doesn't give a DAMN about me. I know because he'a always abusing me. He lays his hands on me, he steals from me, he yells @ me & puts me down, & he always gossips about me & thinks negatively of me. He even told me that he hates me so much that he wishes I was never born.

I dont want to go into detail, but i know 100% that they do not have feelings for me, and i cannot blame them as i was a terror when i was a teenager, and put them trough some horrible times.

I know that i deserve nothing better, but their behaviour really upsets me...and all i want to know is how i deal with it.

And before anyone says anything, i have been told by 2 members of the family that i am correct in thinkiong that they dont love me.
How do i move on?

I have been a step-mum for 7 years now, and I'm now a mum myself. recently I have been baffled & hurt by my eldest step-daughters (aged 10) behaviour. I spend every weekend with them (the other is 9) and have jointly had responsibility for them with my partner while they are in our care. One minute she says I am fun, she loves me, can she pretend I am their Mum... next she 'hates' me and refeuses to come around again. It's not personal, she says she hates her Dad when she is in this mood too. It might take 2 weeks for her to snap out of it.
It is tough being Mum to someone elses children, no matter what people say, it is impossible to give them unconditional love like you do your own children. I want to keep our relationship good for eveyones sake, theirs, their Dad's, my daughters... but I feel so frustrated as no-one knows why she is like this. She has known me since she was 3 and doesn't even remember her Mum & Dad living together, so I don't think it's traditional resentment.

My Gramma wants to maintain her freedom, and refuses to move where we can provide better care for her. Can’t afford to hire a helper for her, so I’m looking for an affordable way for her to remain indipendent and for her to not feel like a burden to the rest of the family. Any thoughts?

For the last two days, my husband has done a few things that have made me very upset to the point I wanted us to separate. Just last night I started talking to him and we worked things out. Now he texts me to ask if he can hang out with his friend that moved away and has not seen since Feb, next weekend since he will be coming though. I said yes, but I felt that we needed to spend time working our problems out. He said we have this weekend and all next week. We both work...I also wanted to take our daughter to the zoo next Saturday but he said if I do we should it early or his friend could come. I want it to be a family thing. Am I wrong, controlling, selfish, or stupid for even trying to make this work again? Someone please help, I feel so lost, lonely and we tried counseling but he believes they are out to get your money, that he can fix it all and he seems not listen to what they say he needs to do or improve. He seems to dwell on my imperfections & improvements.

My Grandpa just found out his cancer has come back. He is pretty weak to begin with and has to have dialysis 4 times a week. Therefore the doctors told him that there is nothing they can do to treat the cancer this time. He wrote an email to the family that he wasn't ready to go yet, and that it was pretty tough to take but "such is life in Him" Is there anything I can do to make his last months better? I usually see him once a month and we play cards, if I start visiting more will he think they are pity visits? I just want his last few months to be happy.

I've confronted her about this before and her and my dad thinks im being stupid about. I think they think im hiding something.... Anybody know any ideas to make her STOP!

My parents are re-writing their will to include my half brother. He is my father’s son and chose not to contact my father for twenty nine years. He finally was curious and called him and they met. My father is not a deadbeat dad, both he and my half brother’s mother were married and both decided that it was best to allow my brother to decide when he wanted to meet my father. My parents asked my opinion and I am not sure what answer to give them. What should they leave my half brother in their wills? He is not my mother’s son so should he get an equal share of everything that they have worked for? Their estate will not be huge, but substantial, and they don’t want to give anyone the shaft.

Okay, please don't judge me by this but my dad gets upset with me when i like people of a different race...he isn't racist or anything he just thinks its more healthy not to get involved with them in a relationship/sexual way. I mean, I am attracted to hispanic people and he just doesn't get it. I mean I like other people to, but this one really makes him mad. How do i react to what his wishes are. I don't understand why he gets so upset! Should I obey him? I mean, he is my dad after all. PLEASE HELP ME. I'm sick of being judged because of my interests.....i need advice!

we moved last October and I have been traveling 14 miles one way to transport my two sons to school, ages 14 and 10. Now that I am in a different town, is it ok to move them into that school, they are not really happy about. But it seems sensible with gas prices and its a good school.

My cousin has hated every guy I've ever dated. The funny thing is, she's only met two of them. My boyfriend is everything to me and treats me like a princess (I return his affection so I'm not a spoiled brat or anything). He's been nothing but nice to my cousin (and the rest of my family) but she still tells me she doesn't like him. I've always said I would want my cousin as my MOH when I got married as we grew up together, but I wouldn't want her holding that honor or responsibility if she doesn't even like the guy. My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year and are pretty serious and have talked about marriage.
What should I do in this situation? My cousin means a lot to me so I can I get her to see that my boyfriend is actually a great guy?

Also, as a matter of clarification: the rest of my family (including my parents) love my boyfriend.
My cousin is 26 (currently sleeping around with a 2-year-old daughter and another baby on the way), my boyfriend is 23, and I'm 21.
