Family - May 2007

My parents don't give me money even though i help with chores and things. They are earning a lot coz my dad works in Canary wharf but when i ask them their like "no, and what have you done for me lately?" I don't even get a monthly allowance !!! The only money i have to use is my savings which we've been saving since i was born (im 16 now) and thats empty ! Well nearly. Whenever i want something i have to beg , like , really beg and be good for a week or two, if i want something like a top. And i have tryed to ask for a job, and their like no and then wount allow me to get one for the summer either. Which is so gay !! why do you think they wount give me money? Coz im not a bad person, i do work hard, and i do everything i'm told.

I'm an atheist, but my ex-wife is a Christian. I now have sole custody of our 7 year old daughter, who we raised as a Christian. She has recently learned that Santa Claus doesn't exist. She started asking me about the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc. and I told her that they don't exist either. I'm tired of this Christian nonsense, so I also told her that it's the same way with Jesus. She cried for hours, and now she seems very depressed. I'm glad she's an athiest now, but what can I do to cheer her up?

my mom had kidney failure when I was 11 and I moved from my home town to houston for better medical advice. she got a kidney transplant from her half sister and everything was getting better. then my dad started drinking more... and more... and more. he started coming home at 4 in the morning stumbing all over the place drunk as hell. i used to hear it alot, maybe three times a week. he left my mom. stuck us in a one bedroom apt. my mom was depressed, i was depressed. he would come and visit me maybe 3 times a month, if i was lucky. I never knew why he left my mom though, i thought he loved her... me and my mom moved to san antonio to get away from the ghetto and i barely talked to my dad, maybe once a month on the phone. then one day I get a call from this guy... chris. he said my dad is in the hostpital and i need to come see him. me and my mom pack up our bags and leave to houston. we get there and chris is his lover! my dad was gay!!! literally. that is what he was hiding from us.

I'm 14, 8 months ago I went through a bad phase. Bad crowd, I got disrespectful, fough ta alot w/ my lil bro. I regretted and apologized sincerely, but I got a harsh punsihment and for some months especially my mom like tortured me emotionally, showing she didn't trust me though I had apologized and showed that had been just a bad phase, They didn't act like parents, showed they didn't love me. I got very sad and depressed, even has suicide thoughts. Fortunately some people , especially my grandma helped me, showed trust and understood me. My grandma invited me to live/ her. My parents didn't agree, want to rebuild our relationship, but we insisted so much and my grandma has business w/ my dad, so they ended up agreeing, though very grudgingly. I'm excited, In July I'll star a new life w/ someone who loves me, living w/ my partents became a pain, sad and hurtful memories. I intend to stay w/ her until I have a job. Is this a good decision?

We have had custody of my step son for about 1 year. His mother was in an abusive realtionship and my stepson was scared of the boyfriend. So my husband went and took him from his mother. We even took it to court and had an order of protection against the mother. We only have him until december and then we can either fight for custody or let him go back to his mother.

The mother loves her son very much as he loves her. She is no longer with the ex boyfriend, she is stabile, and ready to care for him. She wants him back. We told her that it is fine as long as she can provide and keep him out of harms way.

My mother-in-law thinks we are just trying to get rid of him. That it would be much easier without him there. Which we have 5 kids in the home including him. And yes the reality is it would be a little easier. That is definitly not why we don't mind if he goes back. He was raised by his mom his whole life and we have had him only 1 year. What do we do?

My daughter moved out of the house at 18, before graduating high school but is still finishing. She was angry over a fight she and my husand (her adopted father) got into, was charged with domestic violence which she pleaded quilty for and now wont speak to me. She says I should have divorced him. Now I believe she is in an abusive relationship. She wont answer my calls and if I text her, her bf will text me back something extremely rude and pretend it is from her (she doesnt believe me). Now I believe she is into drinking and drugs and I know he is infuencing her. How do I get to her and help her. Seems there is nothing I can do. I have even thrown the husband out of the house. Why is she so angry with me, all I tried to do is help her! I love both of them but now I sit home alone. How do I choose between them and how do I get my daughter to speak with me again? I know the drugs and bf are a huge influence and I know she doesnt want to live here because there are rules.

this is how I feel;
my cousin will be very generous and kind to those
whom she chooses to be;
but I believe now that she chooses to not be like
that towards me;
not because I let myself or because we are relatives;
but because I don't think she's pleased
when she starts to see that I feel very good about myself
and my accomplishments;
I realized that those times when I go to her
house dressed up and dolled up;
she makes the most criticizing remarks about me,
and I sense she rolls her eyes
whenever I start speaking with my wide extended
vocabulary,hey I studied hard!
so how do I drop her from my life?
It's not as easy as you may think;but I promise to feed in
your suggestions,feedback,and advice!

My Finacee and I were forced to move in with his Mother due to unforeseen financal curcumstances, she is wonderful usually, she treats me better sometimes that she does Jason, I love being around her we get along famously. BUT and you knew there was a one, lol. Jason and I don't have much time together on week nights, we both work full time and when you're in love there isn't ever enough time with him/her EVER, I am finding on the weekends she wants us all to go out and do things that Jason and I don't want to do, she drives crazy (I get car sick easy) and the things she is interested in bless her heart we aren't. I don't know how to tell her we don't want to go, we'd rather stay home and sleep in. How do I let her down easy without hurting her?

My cousin's husband molested both of our daughters. She stood up for him by saying that my 13 yr old daughter seduced her husband. He was charged with 3 counts for her 12 yr old daughter,10 for mine. Her daughter admitted what he did to her,my cousin told my Grandmother that we made that up. She told lies about me and had a restraining order of 2 years put on me after I went off on them when he was bonded out. I did not touch him, only yelled. It is going on 5 years now. I was even banned from my Grandparents home for those 2 yrs, through the restraint order. My Grandpa passed this Febuary. I can't get past this pain she has caused me. I want to know how she can say that when he molested her daughter too? I seen her at a place we went to eat and I had a panic attack so bad that I thought was having a heart attack. My Grandma wants me to forgive her, but she won't hear me out. She only listens to my cousin. Please I need to hear from other people and thank you for reading this. HELP ME

My partner and I have been together for 7 yrs on and off , we broke up before for many reasons like cheating on me (twice), left for someone else, left me when i was pregnant to his first baby - looking back I know I had no self respect cos i went back everytime although i knew i could do alot better i suppose i am attracted to *** holes.. any way the last time we got back 2 years ago he promised he'd change and guess what he has, hes soo good to me, moved in together and had another girl, hes a good dad but i sort of fell out of love.Then his brother comes into the scen after not speaking to my partner for many years, it my first time to meet him and this was 3 months ago and now hes confessing to loving me, he adores me and said he'd sucrifies his family to be with me but hes my babies uncle. My partner doesnt know, i havent cheated and even thou i fell out of love i still care for my partner. should i go ahead with his brother or not take any risks?

I'm seventeen and my brother is twenty-one; the longest time that he has ever had a job was a month... and he has only had TWO jobs his entire life. He lives with my mother and I, but stays in his room all day long playing video games; he does not go to school either. Any who, he is supposed to be leaving to Virginia to be with some girl he met off of myspace and was ranting about how mother is a piece of crap and how she doesn't pay for his plane ticket, blah blah. And I'm like: "Dude, you just got paid, why are you relying on mom so much? You spent hundreds of dollars on clothes when you could have spent it on a ticket; stop blaming mom for everything and take up responsibility."

Then, he starts cursing at me and acting all rude; and ever since, he has REFUSED to speak to me because I am such a "horrible" person. My mom ended up paying for his plane ticket and he is leaving on Saturday.

Was I wrong? I'm just sick of him free-loading.
