I have a female cousin (33 yrs old) visiting from Italy with her dad who is 71 yrs old. Her mom died years ago and now she is the primary caretaker for her dad who has several medical issues. She does EVERYTHING for him. As a result she has no time for herself. She only works and takes care of him.

She looks sad all the time. Her eyes are blank and without much expression. She has low self esteem as evidenced by her comments about herself like, "I'm fat and ugly, I will never get married, nobody wants me."

She confided that she's been depressed for many years and once attempted suicide. She's only in the states for 2 weeks. What can we, as her cousins, do for her? Should we try to convince her that although its honorable she's taking care of her dad that she should also take care of herself? What can we do? What options does she have?

She expects my husband to phone her everyday. He phones her twice a day js to please her and always has to listens to her complaints, of her being upset over the slightest things etc. She wants to hv a say in our lives and expects us to put her and her husband on top of our list. She is never satisfied with anything we do for her.

Can anyone share with me your experience how to deal with such difficult MIL? Any advice is appreciated.

The woman was waiting with her kids in the seating area. Her 4 year old son crawled into her lap, pulled out her breast and started nursing. Her breast was openly exposed. She didn't seem the least bit phased by it.

Was it wrong because the son is so old or is it wrong b/c she didn't cover up her breast?

I know it sounds horrible, but it is on the verge of becoming hate. I am almost 17, have a job, pay for everything I have, and yet she still manages to bring me down.. I feel like she thinks it is her job to make me unhappy, it has happened so often i am practically getting used to it. Name calling, blaming everything on me, blaming my dads sickness on me, blaming my mom and dads fights on me. Its rediculous... I cannot stand to be in the same room as her. She will be nice to me infront of all her friends but when it is just us two, **** hits the fan. I love my father, he is reasonable and smart and is fair, but she is just a *****. I have never been home drunk once, never gotten in an accident, never had any school trouble; i really try to stay away from trouble. She does not like my friends, she always has little snide comments about them that she will say quietly, but so i can still hear them.. I truly feel bad for her sad life.

My mother had a stroke about 4 years ago, shortly after my step-father died of cancer...she was heart-broken. I have 1 brother and two sisters. My brother swore to my step-father on his death bed that he would watch take care of our mother. When she had the stroke, my brother and his wife (a nurse) decided to take care of her. We other 3 thought this was very brave and commendible, and had a lot of respect for their decision. Well, in the past three years, they have gotten Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, had her house Quit Claimed into their name, emptied all bank accounts, disconnected the phone (they have cell phones now which we don;t know the numbers) and my mother has bruises on her arms and hands where her has been pinched by my sister-in-law (the nurse). also, she says my sister-in-law slaps her frequently. They demand a 24 hour notice when we take my mother, and also demand a schedule of everything we plan to do with her. I am so afraid for her well-being.

My dad is healthy, retired with a good deal of money, young at age 58 but lives with me and my husband and my 3 kids.
He does not "need" to stay with us. He can easliy afford something close to us. We love him dearly but as an adult, you move out of your parents house and you don't expect them to move back in with you - especially since he does not need to be cared for. It puts a strain on our marriage (only 4 years married) because we sometimes have no time to ourselves.
He does not help out with money, groceries or anything but expects me to cook and clean for him. He also sits out back of my house almost every day and just drinks beer - sometimes 12 a day. Now, I have 3 children and this is something that I don't want them exposed to. My dad can't even help babysit if I need to do something because he typically has already had too many beers.
Please help - I don't want to hurt his feelings and I have no idea how to say this to him.

We are not being allowed any visits with our grandson Joshua by his parents. We have bonded with him for 4years. His mom hates us and his dad (our son) is so controlled by her that he refuses to bring Joshua to see us on his 2nd weekend visits, (verbally agreed to at a case conference), because she tells our son that I am putting bad things into Joshua's head, and saying that Joshua tells her some bad things I'm saying about her. She tells our son that Joshua is a fu--ing brat when he comes back from seeing my husband and I. We have gotten to see Joshua about 4 to 8 hrs a month over the past year and our bond is being threatened, and we love him very much and believe he is hurting needlessly, but his mom will not talk with us. From previous actions, we know that she doesn't forgive or accept forgiveness. Our son told us he is trying to get her to get someone to supervise visits so that she may eventually realize that Joshua enjoys his time with us. He hasn't been successful so far.

I have a 15 year old stepdaughter and like most teenagers she is not the most pleasant person to be around. I tried to avoid her and her negative comments about me, her disrespectful behavior etc. But I feel very guilty, I care about her and I want to be her friend. I want her to be in my future children's life. My husband and my stepdaughter had an arguement 2 months ago ( she was very disrespectful to him and I) and he told her that she was not allowed to come to our place - be respectful or do not come her at all. I know it was too harsh probably. We haven't seen her for 2 months. I would like to ask her to have lunch with me or go shopping. What should I tell her? Should I apologize, what if she doesn't want to apologize? How do we deal with this situation? She is probably mad at us. I want to do something special for her and make her feel loved. Any suggestions?

My parents just found out that my boyfriends father is in prison. This has lead them to make some hurtful remarks. They constantly belittle him because of this fact.
Brad is seventeen and trying to get on with the rest of his life. He has big plans. He says that in college he wants to major in criminal law. He wants to become an attorney.
He understands that his father isn't perfect. He understands that his father had to go away to pay for the mistakes that he made. He has not let his father's situation influence his career choice.
But my parents just don't see the good in Brad. They treat him as if he is to pay for his father's mistakes. They are always saying "like father, like son.
All I want is for them to see Brad for what he is. I have tried telling them that Brad has plans for after he graduates but they don't want to hear that. I feel as if they are judging Brad based on the mistakes his father has made.
How do I get them to see Brad for who and what he really is?

1st of all I just want 2 say that I love my dad more than anything, & that I wouldn’t be posting this if it wasn’t affecting my future.

I’m 24 yrs old, living with my parents (tradition where I live), & have been working in a good company for the past 9 months which give me a good salary. when I started I made a chart dividing my paycheck into : saving, house expenses, my little brother's allowance, taxi fees (I don’t drive), & a little bit left 4 me. I planned 2 save abou60% of every paycheck till I have enough money 2 be able 2 get my masters degree.

My problem is my dad. He has his own business, which at a lot of times gets hard & he had 2 borrow money from people 2 keep it going. He has even done this 2 our money (my mother's, brother, mine, even my kid sister's allowance), & he NEVER gave any of it back. there were times I had 2 give him my birthday / christmas money, & I don’t remember a time when I had any money more than a month before he took it from me or my siblings.

I'm new to Yahoo! Answers so sorry if this is a weird question but I'm just wondering...

Is anybody else from an abnormally large family? I am the fourth child of twelve. The only families I know of that are as large as mine are the incredibly eccentric ones they feature on TLC that are either wicked hicks or die hard Christians. Are there any other large families out there that are like mine: normal with just a lot of kids?

And if you're not from a large family, what do you think of them?

I was divorced out of the family at 1 1/2. I do not want a "reunion". It's been rough, and all anybody knows is my hard times, when my father's mouth opens up to them. He's not even all that close to his 12 !!!! siblings and their kids. And I don't know a thing about them anymore. But they invite me for his sake, because he always asks if I got one in the mail. Well, it makes me cry, but they're a clique-y bunch, and there's no point trying. If it were my fault I was never comfortable with them in the first place, I'd say I need to deal, but I was caught in the wave of mother's fierce insistence on loyalty. You know what? I just don't belong, and I'm crying. How can I get them to "leave me alone already", but without putting it that way?

If so, how do you cope? My Dad passed away a year ago, and it's just my Mom, she has never been an independent person, always relied on my Dad, and she doesn't drive. She will soon be 72, bad memory from a stroke. Now she depends on me for everything, appointments, shopping, cleaning, etc. I do not mind helping but I'm getting worn out. She doesn't want anyone else to help. What am I to do? I love her ,but I'm exausted.
