Family - June 2007

I have just recently found out about this. When I told my brother to look after my girlfriend while I was gone, that is not exactly what I meant.

My very needy mother in-law moved away two days ago. She was a trouble maker & kept my family on pins & needles for four years. She has drained my wife both mentally & physically.
Should I be expecting my wife to start focusing in on me due to lack of hysteria or turmoil in our household?

I am a str8 up husband & daddy who wants to know what you think - HONESTLY.

I've NEVER done this, but I'm not sure what to do. My son is 13 and my daughter is 12. She was playing around with my 8 yr. old son and ACCIDENTLY kicked my 13 yr. old while he was sitting on the floor. It was not hard, not intentional at all, he even told me it didn't even hurt him. He stood up and pushed his sister and she fell into the entertainment center and cut herself. These two bicker constantly over every little thing and it's escalated to this point. My son is going through puberty like crazy. He is extremely tall for his age (5"11), and people constantly mistake him for 18 because he has a slightly visible mustache. He wrestles and lifts weights and is usually pretty well behaved until it comes to his sister.

What bothers me the most about this is the way I reacted. I started yelling and pushing him. I know damned well that was the wrong thing to do, but at the time I wasn't thinking. I love my kids, but this really makes me feel like a terrible mom. (I'm a single parent)

My son is 3 years old. He has more toys than we know what to do with. It's actually overwhelming because I spend half my life trying to figure out how to organize all of his stuff. His aunt has a real spending problem and much of the time she buys him things that he already has too much of (like stuffed animals) or things he can't use (like 144 foam airplanes from Oriental Trading). I appreciate her generosity but with everything she buys him and everything that everyone else does too he just has way too much stuff and there is honestly nowhere to put it. She will even buy something for him when we are visiting her and I'll often purposely leave it at my Mom's house for him to play with and she'll say "aren't you going to take it with you when you go home?" I also live 1500 miles away and she constantly mails him things.I feel like if she wants to do something nice for him, buy him a savings bond, or pay for him to go to gymnastics or something. Is there a nice way to say this?

He's always introducing himself now like this, "Hi, I'm Doug Dannger, a gay man and a gay journalist". It's soooo dumb.

Since I was a child I've been the odd man out, the adopted red headed child in a family of dark haired people, the tall one surrounded by average people, the philosopher amongst fundamentalists, the rude one among those who never dared rock the boat except with passive agressive anger and superficial happiness. Now that I'm an adult I'm still embarrassing my parents. I don't have a job, I have mental illness, but rather than even try to understand, they say everything's fine yet the get so mad whenever I do anything out of the ordinary, are so touchy when I bring up the past, don't want to hear what I have to say, don't answer my questions, don't respond when I send them pics of my trips, my kid, my wife. Why would a parent say everything's fine, yet by their actions show they don't want anything to do with you, and when confronted deny everything despite being caught in the lie before?

Sure he works hard, and I dont expect him to clean anything, but is it too much to ask that he picks up after himself, eg. puts the milk back in the fridge or washes the hair down the bathroom sink after he shaves? When ever i ask him to do that he goes crazy saying I'm useless and do nothing all day, and its my job, I spend my days cleaning and looking after my 2yr old son and being sick as because of being pregnant.

He doesn't care about me at all, he always gets shitty at me for not telling him whats upsetting me, but when I do tell him he starts yelling and makig everything into my fault.

It's driving me nuts theres a whole heap of other things but It would take forever to write them all. But I'm just pissed, I have no money because he doesn't want to combine finances, and the little money i get each week, goes straight into groceries or bills. He earns heaps of money and just says you need to budget better, yes I do and I dont expect to takehis money i dont want to do that.

He often tells me how I'm feeling, and won't believe me. I'm just generally annoyed by him, and feel like he doesn't respect me or care about my opinions.

So, my son, (17) is staying with his father for the summer. His father tells me that when our son forgets to sign out when he is on his email site and My Space his father reads everything. His father says that he knows that our son is doing things for which he's liable to get into trouble some day. His father asked that I not confront my son about this.
I've always given my son reason to expect privacy, whether he leaves his journal open on the coffee table, or if he forgets to sign out on his email account. We talk a lot and I've always felt that I know him pretty well.
I don't want to be disrespectful to his father, but I don't like the idea that he is invading my son's privacy. If our son is involved in heavy stuff, he needs to be confronted, but his father said that he won't confront him either. Instead, he just plans to keep reading my son's personal correspondance.
Was I wrong to trust my son? His father says I was foolish to believe him.

I recall the natural parents were reunited after the father found out his child had been born. It was widely and heartbreakingly televised including the actual moment of taking the child from the arms of the adoptive mother to the natural mother. I do not recall all of the legal decisions around this extreme drama but I have never forgotten the child and often wonder about her.

About 9 months ago, my fiance and I had a group of friends over for a bbq and drinks.Ususally I let my sister walk all over me, but that day I called her on something she did and she got pissed and stormed out of my house, dragging her poor husband with her. I normally am the one to apologise to her for ANY fight we get into, but this time I was sick of it, and "got a backbone" and decided she was the one at fault, so she can apololgize.Well it's 9 mo. later.I'm getting married in 5 months, and so i wrote her a nice letter basically saying the reasons i didn't back down this time but that wasn't it time to put this behind us? She got the letter last week according to her husband, but hadn't gotten around to opening it yet. So today i get this tattered envelope in the mail with my name scribbled on it from her. All it was was some old mail that was sent to her house addressed to me. Nothing actually from her. And believe me, the condition it was in was trying to say something to me...

Ok, I decided to attend a community college because going to a university was too expensive for me and my family. I decided not to attend a university after being admitted and now am at a community college because my teachers said it was their advice.

Ok, my dream is to go to a Medical school, I know I can do it, but I was offended by what a social worker told my mother. Since its just me and my mother, no father, and two brothers, the social worker said that I needed to stop pursuing this dream of mine and get a full time job to help my family because she wont receive food stamps anymore, that I need to work to help them, but the thing is, Im taking 16 units, and a full time job is impossible! Besides that, Im also doing community service!

If you were in my situation, would you listen to that woman and stop, or go on?

We have talked with her about getting into treatment. She refuses, even though it is clear that her addiction is getting worse. I don't blame her for being addicted, but I definitely don't want to see her continue to steal pills, perhaps eventually stealing money, overdosing and losing her entire life. I am beside myself as to if I should do anything, nothing, or just sit back and let whatever happens, happen. I don't want her to lose her job, but she may not only lose her job, but go to jail based on her addiction. Ideas???

My daddy in law loves to work with his hands, but I'm tired of getting him tools. I want something he can enjoy. He also likes baseball, but I dont want to give him something he'll never use, and he already has 50 hats. What do i get someone who really doesnt want anything.

Dear Darling Son and That Person You Married,



Merry Christmas to you, and please don't worry. I'm just fine considering I can't breathe or eat. The important thing is that you have a nice holiday, thousands of miles away from your ailing mother.



I've sent along my last ten dollars in this card, which I hope you'll spend on my grandchildren. God knows their mother never buys them anything nice. They look so thin in their pictures, poor babies.



Thank you so much for the birthday flowers, dear boy. I put them in the freezer so they'll stay fresh for my grave. Which reminds me -- we buried Grandma last week. I know she died years ago, but I got to yearning for a good funeral so Aunt Berta and I dug her up and had the services all over again.



I would have invited you, but I know that woman you live with would have never let you come. I bet she's never even watched that videotape of my hemorrhoid surgery, has she?



Well son, it's time for me to crawl off to bed now. I lost my cane beating off muggers last week, but don't you worry about me.



I'm also getting used to the cold since they turned my heat off and am grateful because the frost on my bed numbs the constant pain.



Now don't you even think about sending any more money, because I know you need it for those expensive family vacations you take every year. Give my love to my darling Grandbabies and my regards to whatever-her-name-is --the one with the black roots in her hair who stole you screaming from my bosom.



Merry Christmas,



Love, Mom

Ok, i posted earlier to mothers of adult sons and their opinion regarding their son dating a woman who had a serious drug problem as a teenager, didn't graduate high school etc. They are in their late 20s and have been together 4 yrs. She has not used drugs since she was 18, holds a steady job, and is successful.

So lets say that you are his mother and the issue is, his high school girlfriend (whom he was with for 7 yrs) is still interested and has contacted you several times in effort to get back together with him. She went to college, and is now getting her masters. What do you tell her? And do you think that is the better fit for your son? How do you approach that with him and her?

I live in S.E. Michigan and I have heard something about petitioning the court but have no idea where to start. Can someone give me advise on EXACTLY what steps I can take to do this? My son is 15 and I want to change his middle name to my stepdad's last name (the man who stood up to be my dad and his grandfather and has no siblings to carry on his name). I found a website that wants 69.00 and I am NOT paying that! Any other answers are welcome! :)

My dad is getting mad more easily now, and i guess its because of a test that hes gonna do, and some other stuff. he even told me he's really stressed right now. for example, today i needed a new leotard (cuz i lost the old ones cuz we moved) and i only have one . now he wont get me another one AND he wont even let me buy one with my own money! i dunno why. so we used to be closer but now all we do is argue, and it makes me sad :(When i go to gymnastics and dance it makes me feel better,but i dont wanna wear the same leotard to gymnastics for the whole entire month! if anybody knows a way that i can get my daddy to be less stressed?
