Family - July 2007

I do not get along with my mother, at all. I just feel she is very negative towards me and the world. I plan on moving out of her house within the year. At that time, I was thinking about cutting ties w/ her for a while. I just feel like she does not realize how negative she is towards me. She said some pretty hurtful things that have lowered my self-esteem greatly.

I just think she is very negative. What do I do? I was even thinking ahead to when I have children of my own, I would not want them to be subjected to her negative attitude and ignorant views.

Is it bad to turn your back on your family? What do I do? I've tried talking to her about this, but she's does not listen. She believes that she knows everything and no one can tell her otherwise.

I was talking to my friend and she said that she was gay. But even worse that she wants to go out with me! I know it is bad but I think I like her the same way. What do I tell my parents?

To me, my boyfriend plays poker too much. He has called out of work at least twice so he can play. He also has the top 25 hands taped to our monitor. Everyday when he gets home from work, he starts playing and plays until he goes to sleep. He doesn't spend anytime with me or our daughter. I have already told him how I feel and yet, he still plays all the time. Nothing has changed. What should I do now? *Our daughter is only 15 months old, and I feel that she needs alot of his attention right now*

If a 12 year old boy commits suicide in his parents home how much would you hold a parent responsible? I know you don't legally and I know you would comfort them and tell them its not their fault but in your own mind what would you really be thinking?

My son is 12. Every winter he gets dry and chapped lips and uses Chapstick or Carmex. At least for the past 2-3 winters. By springtime his lips are fine and he stops using Chapstick. But this year he has been going through a tube of Chapstick or Carmex almost every week. I'm thinking it's a complusive action but I alos wonder if the Carmes and such has chemicals in them that are addictive. Any thoughts, advice, past experience?

My mother passed away June 19th 2007. Both my mother and father placed me as their executor in their wills. But I am just now finding out that there is alot more at stake here than what I thought, shouldn't their lawyer have told them what would happen? And why can't my father since he is the surviving spouse take this authority? they lived in Ga. and I live in Fl. Georgia says that there is an oath to take for the executorship, Florida has not got a clue as to what I am talking about. But that is not the main question. My father wants the nursing home that he placed mom in to be held accountable, as do I, BUT I don't know that I can perform these actions, am I a bad daughter for not wanting to pursue it? And what all does the executorship mean? I have very little money am divorced and have custody of my 15 yr old son. I lost my job when mom got ill and still to date have not found suitable employment. How do I go on with my life, when I am devestated. There are more questions than ans

I am 22, married with a baby and my mom thinks she is in control of my house. She only came to visit but she's here till September. I ask her not to rummage through my things and she does. I ask her not to speak to my husband a certain way and she does. I ask her to relax and stop cleaning and she goes beserk. I know with the cleaning she is trying to help, but antagonizing my husband (although we are currently separated) and I is doing nothing good for me. I try to alk to her but since she is my MOTHER she feels she don't have to listen to anything I say. And It's my house?

My friend was complaining that her MIL never visit her until she invites her over. He MIL will not even tell her what to do until she asks her. She was telling me that it makes her feel very worth less that her MIL will only come see her when she invites her to the dinner or tea or lunch etc. She was not happy with this arrangement. She says that this approach is way too formal. She says that it seems like that her MIL feels she is superior to everyone and everyone has to invite her over to her place unless she won't come even for a year. I also thought that it is a bit too much given the fact that she can come see them and her grandkid. My friend has to go see her in laws every week cuz her husbands wants this.
any opinion.

My dad, i cannot not even talk to and will never bond with again, ever. My mom, whenever i try to talk to her about how i feel, and she hears something she doesnt like, she starts yelling at me, and then i say why dont you listen to me (in a low tone) and she says "that's right i don't" (screams if it if i dont stop bugging her bout my prob within a minute). There is always yelling at my house between my mom/dad and now i am soo depressed because i know i do not look attractive and my praents fighting makes it worse. It went away because i thought i would get better, but then everything turns back to norm and my parents fight again, and mom doesnt listen to me. I even resorted to alcohol once (never got drunk thought only because none of the alcohol tasted good). They think its just a "phase" i am going through and i will "snap outta it" and it bugs me when they say it b/c i dont kno how much more i can take. Now i have basically no friends. i am 15. I dont want to see a psychologist

ok.. i am going into 11th grade, about to turn 16 in two weeks, and my parents are so unreasonable with giving me freedom to hang out with friends or go out. and no, i'm not asking them to go to parties or anything.. i dont even drink. they always make me depressed and i think its sad how freshman girls who dont care for school can go out every night. school is my number one priority, i'm in two AP classes: english bio, and i'm in honors precalc and social studies. i work hard for my grades and last quarter i got a 99.87 average! they think i'm not responsible either, just because i have a loud outgoing personality, and my older brother- who is 21- has all the freedom in the world. just the other day i asked to go to applebees with my friends at 10 pm, and they made me cry to sleep, yelling and screaming at me saying i'm irresponsible and a bad person ! i know this is long, but please help!

This family member has allowed/condoned abuse by others by not objecting or reporting it. Abuse was physical, emotional and sexual. I am 44 and have enough. I have explained to this person both gently and with more force that if she is going to speak about her family member/give out information on my family to them- I will not have a realtionship with her. She continues to do this saying "they are YOUR family too". To my mind family does not abuse family or name call when abuse is revealed to them. I have been blamed for the abuse my cousins suffered at the hands of my abuser -because it wasn't reported by the family member I revealed it to.
This person also endangers my health-both mental and physical.
No guilt button pushers please!!!!

Dont get me wrong, I am excited and cant wait for all the new babies to come but this is making me not want kids. Is that normal?

My daughter-n-law and my young grandson are coming to visit, they are staying for almost 2 weeks, they are coming with her parents (who are staying in a hotel), she has "OFFERED" to stay with us, that is a very long time for houseguest, how to I let her know that maybe 4-5 days would be good, but not 2 weeks, this will also be a financial hardship as she has no money and we live paycheck to paycheck. I love them dearly, but not 24/7 for 2 weeks. Any suggestions, I dont want to hurt her feelings, the baby is under 2. Thanks.

My sister cut contact with my godly father and I and moved back to the States to live with the woman who birthed us. She was mad because my father and I kept making her shave her head as she as blond and therefore leads men to sin. She said her head hurt from the cuts and it was too hot to wear hats in Venezeula, where we live. I am to be married and she wants to come to the wedding. She has promised to dress modestly, but her sinful blond mane is back and she will not promise to cover it or shave it. My godly and saintly father has promised to sheer her, but I don't want a to do on my wedding weekend. How can I convince my sister that her sinful blond hair will tempt my wonderful Christian groom and friends and that we cannot have flaxen locks at my wedding????

My sister-in-law and I used to have a great relationship, until I was pregnant with my son. Her brother and I were just engaged, and within 3 months she had raced to the alter to be the first to marry.

When we became pregnant with our second in January, she turned even more hard to deal with. We have been walking on pins and needles, and her mother is only slightly better. It's been so hard to enjoy or even discuss or enjoy the pregnancy.

Now she's pregnant, which is a great thing! However, part of me is selfish, hormonal and bitter. I feel incredibly jealous that her pregnancy is being celebrated while ours have always been pushed to the side to apease her attitude.

I went out and bought her some pregnancy gifts, but I am REALLY having trouble overcoming this bitterness. I mean, this is a woman who has never asked how we're doing and has even mentioned how FAT I've become since having a kid. Great times.

Any insight?

so i have these cousins and they're like 4 or 5 years older than me as is my older brother, but when they used to come and visit a few years ago i obviously was pretty annoying and wanted to hang out with them all the time. but now that i'm 15 and they're like 19, i feel like we can share the same feelings and hang out without me being annoying. i wanna show them that i'm totally not that little girl anymore, and that over the visit, they're gonna start wanting to hang out with me more than eachother (especially my girl cousin who just turned 19 cause she's awesome).
