How does one apply for Medicaid? My Mom needs to be placed in a nursing home. She now lives with my Dad in their home with a $220,000 mortgage and no liquid assets. What do I do?

I'm going to Long Beach Island in New Jersey with my dad, his new girlfriend, and her son. I am worried that being in the same room with them will be uncomfortable. Please, give me tips on how to cope??!?!

Im 14 y/o and when i was 7, i watched my brother lose his temper and basicazlly slice my mums arm open, she still has the scar. My brothwer was always very violent, even threatened to kill me once, but thankfully he moved out. But the thing is, everyone else seems to have gotten over the knife thing, but i havent. Im scared of being near anyone holding a knife near me. I havent told my family about this, what should i do? ignore it like other fears or sshould i do something? I feel pretty stupid asking this now, but oh well..

im a grl and my bro always beats up on me im 15 and hes 17 he has threatened to kill me and has threatened to "send my parents to the hospital" if they dont do what he wants. What ever he wants and my parents say no he will threaten to hurt me?! idk i always get caught in the middle...hes the type of guy where if my dad bought me something, than he will have to have something 6 times better than mine or he will beat me. im just stuck in this sitituation where there is no escape this has been happening for the past 2 years and my whole personality has changed because of it, im emotional, depressed, and suicidal. i try to escape by going in my room and locking my doors, but he just gets a key and opens it or breaks itdown, trys to fight with me, hes intentially doing this. he has already broken my moms arm when he was hitting me and she tried to stop it. i always think about calling the police and finish with him but my parents would neverr evrr let, if i did they probably would hate me!

I'm a person, with very low self esteem as is. And my mother nagging me about me wearing makeup is making this worse. I feel prettier in make up, i do not wear it gothic or anything like that, i wear it very tastefully actually. No one other than my mother and father say anything about it, in fact every one else thinks it's really pretty,. My mom always tells me i look ugly with it and so does my dad. The way i see it, is i don't think i look that pretty without makeup, and when i do put it on, they don't think i look pretty. So no matter what i do now, i don't feel; pretty. How can i make them stop nagging me? it's EVERY single day. And they don't even realize what i t's doing to me, i'm already dealing with self confidenmce regarding my weight, i don't nee dto be self concious about my face too. Help!?!

hi...i'm 17 yr old girl. last week my mom and one of her friends were talking about teenagers and promiscuity and everything concerned. i overheard her saying that she trusts me and knows i'd never make the wrong choices. i was so struck by this...i'm not a virgin and she takes me to be an angel. i was sad and felt like i was deceiving her. i haven't been dishonest with her ever and told her that i'm not a virgin and have done some crazy things. as expected she was angry and yelled at me. i know she was very sad n i was miserable that i made her sad. i expected her to talk to me the next day and was geared to make it up to her. but she didn't even utter a word to me the next day and it's been 3 days with no change. i'd do anything to make her talk to me again. what do i do? plz temme. it's killing me. how do i approach her? she's been ignoring me since and i don't know what to do. my dad is away on an official tour and i am the only daughter. plz plz plz tell me wat to do......

My sisters husband is a jerk. he has said really inappropriate things to me. like if i 'wore leather around him i'd be in trouble;' cos he has a thing for leather. he threatens to kill himself. calls me or my sister up crying, then one time he did try to hang himself. i was writing him an email saying i didn't want anymore contact with him (he kept emailing me) and my sister comes in the room and starts writing things on my behalf, like what a great guy i think he is, and i'm sorry for everything i did (which is basically try and keep away from him) I am disappointed in my sister, because she's trying to put words in my mouth, and also she gets me to say things for her. like when she left, i was talking to his mum and dad to get them to see her side and that he needed help. i had to listen to them tell me that it was my fault for not wanting them to be together, but i never even got involved while they were together. i was staying away.

Since my car-crash, I can look into someone's eyes and see their soul, i.e. if it's a Good or a Bad Soul. I can tell if someone's happy or sad, if they're good or bad!

My father whom I love very much, when I look into his eyes, I see dark and evil. He has a violent attitude sometimes.

I.e:
When I punish my son for being naughty, I'm in sh*t by him for disciplining my son, but it's fine for him to punish my son. Sometimes he comes to me with an evil smirk and says that he punished and smacked my son!

I'll flip out on that, then my mom says to me that I'm pathetic!

What can I do?

I do pretty well at school. Today I got top marks in my Stats assessment. When I told my Mum about my results, she just said ok, good. I got top marks in my geography assignment. I got no recognition from my Mum.

My parents are seperated, my Dad lives in a different country.

I try really hard because this is the last year of high school and I want to go to a good university.

I've tried talking to my Mum about it but all she says it 'I do appreciate you, I always tell you how well you do'

I only work hard for myself now. I've given up hope of my Mum ever being happy for me.

Is this the right thing to do? Should I wait for her to start giving me some credit?

It's so hurtful when she acts like she doesn't care.

I have been home all my life, and my mother is very protective of me. She does not let me do anything, and she yells at me a lot. I even told her one day that I know she thinks I'm a pestt and bothers her, and she did not say anything, so I took that as true. I know she loves me, but she is way too controling. I am leaving in January, but have not told her yet. DO you think it will be hard for her? And how do you think I should tell her?

My sister after waiting a very long time got married and I had the privlidge of being the matron on honor. I also introduced her to her husband. My sister was one of my very best friends in the whole wide world. We shared a room over 20 years and she was my maid of honor at my wedding also. She has blessed me so much and I do love her.

But since she got married I feel we are not close anymore I moved 3000 miles from home after the wedding and I dont want to call her a lot as she is a newlywed. She has changed a lot and I really dont hear from her as often it is like our realtionship seems over.

I am not bitter or angry and I know this is life but is this normal, but it almost feels like we no longer have the relationship we used to have, this feels strange for me as we have always been there for one another.

My question is is this normal? And is there anything I should be doing? I am not sure what to make of this situation so I thought I would post this question.

Every year we go to my husband's family reunion but because it was the first time we had taken our baby daughter, I had no idea what traveling with a baby entailed so I took forever and a day to pack. We had planned on arriving on Fri. evening but got there so late we just went straight to our hotel and met up with everyone Sat. I know my mother-in-law was pretty upset about this because she called my husband twice Fri. evening asking what was taking so long for us to head out.

Sunday afternoon we ate lunch at my in-laws' house and when I finally got the chance to sit down and eat after feeding the baby, I was about halfway through my meal when my mother-in-law looked up at the clock and said it was 20 past 4pm! I freaked out knowing how long the drive back would be & that my husband needed to go to work the following day. I tossed out my half-eaten plate, ran to the bathroom & changed the baby who was fussy & needed a nap.

My husband's niece called tonight. She has an 8 year old daughter that she wanted me to babysit until tomorrow afternoon. I've only met the little girl once at a funeral. I told a lie and said I was just getting ready to go out for the evening.
It was all very last minute. My neice had arranged for her mom to watch the child but apparently she had forgotton and she wasn't home. I suppose that my nieces job may be in jepordy tonight if she's not able to find an overnight sitter. We are not very close and it was out of the blue. How do I overcome this guilt???

She says that there's kidnappers and i'm gonna get in trouble with them! I tried explaining that you can set your profile to private and all, but she just cut me out. All my friends have myspaces, and then this really cute guy asked if I had a myspace, and I couldn't talk to him over myspace because my mom won't let me have one!! I'm so frustrated with my mom, how can I convince her that I'm responsible enough to have one?

He is 22 years old now and since the age of 16 he has been behaving very agressive towards my sister. He started by slamming doors while upset and now he punches holes on the walls with his fist. He courses at his parents with really bad words. Is like he hates them.
He dropped out high school on 10th grade at the same time that he started playing Counter Strike all night long!!!, When my sister stopped the DSL he destroyed his computer and the monitor by crashing them against the wall.
He doesn't work and now he is starting to drink.
He treats his parents like crap and they both are very worried about him, because he shows (or fakes) suicidal behaviour.
He is the youngest and only son living at home with them. He was spoiled when he was a kid.
They don't know what to do about my nephew
How can I help!!!
Please ...this is serious!!!
It gets worst and worst day by day.

I'm 23 already and my mom still treats me like a kid and it's really annoying. If I could afford it, I would move out but I can't right now. She gets mad if I go out with friends at night and expects me to be home at a "decent" time. Then she harasses me out of bed in the morning, tells me when to go to bed at night, doesn't let me leave the house until my bedroom is clean to her standards (my definition of clean is different from hers)...and the list goes on. She calls my name every 2 minutes...i'm not even kidding. Sadly enough, not to sound like a ***** but it's to the point where I find her annoying. It's really lame. I'm an adult! How do I get her to leave me alone and let me make my own decisions? Apparently, as much as I do isn't enough for her. She's always negative about everything. I'm not that bad of a person.

I notice that my family members HONOR their friends & will defend their friends agains their own family. Is this odd? Like my brother wanted to fight me about his girlfriend. & he's not the only family member. My niece told me she doesn't give a crap about me & my cousin said I ain't nobody important, & my mom says I'm never gonna be anybody-I'll never amount to anything. But I see on MySpace how my family members have friends that they give shout-outs to & represent them like gods & goddesses, & they treat me like dirt because I was in foster care & absent out of their lives. Well, it's not my fault I was put in foster care. & also, they're to embarrassed to claim me as their family members-even my own twin sister.

& this really hurts me & makes me feel inferior & worthless. I'm not even in their priority list, but it's too good to be true when they kiss my butt only to con me out of my money.
