Family - August 2007

I had lost touch with my father who lived in dontown Manhattan for 40 years at the same building complex. Although we lost communication for many years, he was always listed in the phone book at that address. He is no longer listed and the complex could not tell me anything. He has vanished, at 80 years old, I'm thinking he either died or has been committed to an assisted living place. How can I find him or find out if he has deceased?

yeah i was rude to my sister [not gonna get into details] and my mom took away my cell phone, nintendo ds, and my ipod. it's been two days and she still won't give them back. she cracks pretty easily, but you have to say/do just the right things. any ideas?

p.s. if you're just going to tell me to respect and listen to my mother, save your typing time. i already do that it's just that i've learned my lesson and i just want my stuff back.

Okay I have ALL boy cousins and when we all get together as a family i feel left out. They are always playing vidieo games, calling me names and all that guy stuff. I hate hanging out with them now because im considered as "one of the guys" and im nothing like that im a total girly girl. I have talked to my parents about it, but they are just like there your family. We are all going on vaca together and im kinda dreading it! Also they are coming to were i live next summer and i told my parents that i probably wont hang out with them ill hang out with my friends, but they thin this is mean, but the thing is when im at there house they go hang out with there friends and leave us.
I know this is long, but what should i do?There my family, but im totally board around them. Also do you think me leaving then for my friends is rude? Also what am i supposed to do when we go on vaca they wont do the whole looking for hott guys thing and i really dont think my aunite and mom want me with them.

Family Room


'Hold my hand'
She whispers, and I grab
Her delicate fingers, as if the grip
Could stop her falling
Into a deep dark hole.
Then she let's go:
Wheeled smoothly
Almost soundless.

I'll be honest.
It's me who is scared
Left numb. In the family room.
A room full of blank stares.
Forced smiles.
Of families.
All of us certain, of course, the child in us
Will come back.

Fumbling through a magazine.
Deciding when to slip out
For a cigarette.
Or something to eat.
Certain. Convinced.

Wondering.
If the child in us
Will come back.

Well, I don't understand, my mom used to be so nice to me and now ever since i turned into a teen, she's tightened the reigns, and grounds me more than ever. I don't act any different..so i don't understand why she would do this. And lately i can't take it so much that i've considered running away. Why is she doing this..and why do i feel this way?

My brother is living very dangerously, he's a drunk, and to my knowledge very deeply into cocaine.
He's been into drugs since he was 13 and he'd going to be 28 in Feb, but his life is just getting worst and worst. His personality is just disappearing, last time I saw him I barely reconzied him.
He has always had a problem with authority, he gets his back up when I've tried to talk to him before. And down plays and says things like "he used to do cocaine every few hours but, only rarely does it now" which I can't believe....of course." But you can't fight with him.
How can I approach him?? Any suggestions on what to say to reach someone like this?
If there's anyone out there that was steeped in drugs answering....what would you have listened to.
I KNOW I don't have much time with him......everything in me says he's almost reached the end of this lifestyle.....in the bad way. My heart breaks, he's the only sibling I have.

I am a 25 year old college graduate working a full time job. I only recently moved out of my parents house at the beginning of this year. My boyfriend has enrolled for grad school and will be living at his parents house and commuting to school and working and he has asked me to come with him. He lives 3 hours away from where I live and I am all for this move. I think I am ready for this move and I think I have a better chance of getting a great job near where he lives. There are better opportunities there. Since we will be living with his family we will have a chance to save money so that we can plan for our wedding. My parents are completely against this. My dad's argument is that I am making God angry because I will be living under the same roof as my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I have made a committment to wait for sex until marriage. My mom just plain doesn't want me to move and while I understand that I think it would definitely help me grow. Please help! I need advice.

my mom is bugging me so much about my married life, my in laws, my career, my health, my friends... just about everything. nothing seems to work for her.
now that i am pregnant, she is forever asking me about the baby and why i am not going to the hospital for the smallest stomach upset or headache.
if i go to meet friends, she tells me to avoid exerting myself. and if i dont meet anyone for a couple of days, she says i need to go out and meet other people.
before i married, she used to be very restrictive, and i never got to spend time with my friends, or do anything fun. all she wanted was for me to get married soon. now that i have, she must be happy, but she has complaints about me marrying far away...
i can understand that she misses me. and i miss her too. i keep assuring her that things are fine with me. but still she seems to think that i ll be better off and living next door to her.
is everybody's moms this way ?

My sister-in-law wants to stay with me and my husband for a few days with her two kids (6 months and almost 2) about 10 days after our first baby is due. The real reason is she needs to work using our Internet connection. I don't want to be rude, but this is our first baby, things are going to be chaotic as it is, and if she has to work it will be hard for her to keep an eye on the little ones. Plus I don't want her hawking over me, telling me the "right" way to do everything when we'll still be trying to figure out how WE want to do things. What do I do?

Ok, so, when I started driving, I was SOOO excited and my dad got me a car that was "supposed" to be temporary. Then, about two years later, my sister got her license and it was time for her to drive a car. But she's scared to drive anywhere other than down the street to her school and she hates driving. My dad is going to get her a car but I think my dad should just give her my "temporary" car and I should get the new car. I'm older, I like driving, and my car was supposed to be temporary. She hates driving and I'll be driving the most so WHY would she get the new car? Does anyone think this is fair???

I'm at my witts end ... what should I do - I told him either he gets a job (which he won't) or join the Army (which he might - but I think he's scared) or get out of my house by August 31st. He's never had a father figure - no true friends - the "friends" he has just get him in trouble - he's a very good looking nice kid - I can tell he's just lonely and wants accepted and he doesn't care if he has to smoke pot to be friends or drink to be friends - or whatever ... what should I do?

Heres my story, thank you to everyone who answered!
I run away from home all the time.
Because I'm A 14 year old girl and the middle child in my family. I am also the only girl out of the 3.
My older brother tries to sexually abuse me and beat me, he sometimes does but luckily has never sexually abused me.
And my younger brother treats me like dirt because I'm a girl.
I'm incredibly thin and weak because I get very little food+drink compared to my brothers and what food I do get they often steal.
Because I'm the middle child my parents neglect me. I get £5 pocket money a week and my brothers get £20 each.
Why my parents say? Because I'm a girl and because of that ille just spend it on something useless.
Currently I have being sleeping rough in Durham busking for food money with my bass guitar.
If I don't sleep rough I at my boyfriends because I feel he and his family treat me great!

But now I'm safe and am going into the care home tomorrow.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!

She is fillipina and the youngest of her family. We moved from california to Austin Texas. When she was living at home she had a cellphone then along the way she had to add her sister and her brother on the family plan.. She is still doing this and from day one had to pay the bill and is still stuck with the bill every month. She is seriously afraid to say anything to her family about wanting to drop the plan. I told her to be upfront and tell them you don't want to do it anymore. She is worried that they will say something like it isn't our fault you wanted to move away and buy a new car. My thing is why can't you just not worry about it and say "Well I moved on and started a new life over here and I can't afford to keep paying this bill" I mean this bill is over $100 every month and she had to pay it for several years now with no help from them. I even suggested well why don't you let your phone get cut off and have a "problem" so they will realize when they don't have a phone...
