Long story short, my mother re-married about 25 years ago, I have 3 step sisters, one of them came to live with us when she was a teenager, we got very close, the other two stayed with their mother. Anyway, the one that lived with us did not get along with my mother very well, so she moved back to her mothers, after that, we didn't hear from any of them for years then my stepfathers dad passed away and when he went to the funeral, the girls were there and everything went well......... but now again, we haven't spoken to them since the funeral. I now live in the same town as my step sisters, and we get along great! we Talk all the time, but now how do I fix the rift between them and my mom & stepdad? I really want everyone to get along.

My dad is not racist but he really does not agree in inter racial relationships. I have dated a guy who was black before and he was really nice and sweet. I feel its wrong that he has the right to control who i date or ill get disowned. My dad loves me but i know that if one day i came home saying i was gonna marry someone who wasnt white it would kill him. My mum would accept it and treat him with respect, and take it into account that its my life and i can make good decisions. Plz help what can i do?, like i said bare in mind he is not racist he is just really against inter racial relationships. Thank you for your help.

i just graduated from high school and i am facing the biggest decision i have ever had to make. i live have been living with my mom for the last 10 years b/c her and my dad spilt up. Lately i have been bumping heads with her BIG time! it seems like this family isnt for me anymore..like i dont belong here anymore. This summer i visited my dad in California and we had a blast. When im there i feel like im finally home. im happy there. i want to move there and go to college in Cali but he doesnt have any money for me to go so i will have to take out an OUTSTANDING loan to pay for school [$80,000]. But if i stay with my mom she will pay for my college but there are no schools i really wanna go so ill b forced to go sumwhere close to her. so do i got where im happy and can go to college for what i have always dreamed of or do i stay where the money is for my college even tho it isnt my 1st or 2nd or even my 3rd choice in regards to majors. im torn.

Hi,
This is A tricky one. My parents split up when I was 14 and I lived with my dad for a few years. He then remarried and one day, whilst I was at college, he wrote to me to ask me not to ever come home again. That was thirteen years ago and I have had no contact at all with him since then.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge, and all of the hurt and anger I felt back then has faded away.
My brother, who still sees my dad, sent me an email to tell me that he is dying. He had a hear attack a few years ago but now he has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. He has been given between 3 months and 2 years to ive. He hasn't asked to see me or even asked my brother to tell me about him, so I feel very confused.
In the 13 years that have passed, I have got a new life. I am married and have a 2 year old daughter. I would like to see him before he dies, but worry that he will turn me away, and I do not feel that I could handle the rejection again. Any advice welcomed.

I used to party alot (drinking, drugs), and I haven't done that in 43 days. Since I quit partying, I haven't talked to any of my friends. I thought not talking to my friends would give me time to think, and time to break all the habits that came with the constant partying. During that time alone I realized that the drinking and the drugs was what was saving me from reality. I live in a house where everybody can't stand each other, theres constant yelling, fights, and stuff being smashed. Without being intoxicated I can't sleep, I can't block out the screaming, and I am becoming very depressed. What should I do? I'm not old enough to be able to move out and support myself, and I don't want to get back into the partying habit again because that could ruin my whole future. I also don't want to report my family because the few days we do get along are great, and even through everything I still care about them. I don't know what I should do? What would you do in my situation?

They don't like me since the very begining of our relationship.When we met we decide that we want to try this out so I move to NY bc I am from PR he is dominican. I got a job before I moved and when I move I went to his grandma house bc she was renting a room. I paid rent the whole time I lived there. But then(5 month later)I decided to get my own apartment and my boyfriend decide to move in with me. The parents got crazy they talked a lot of things about me. They said that he should'nt let me move that it was'nt the right time. That I think that I am the man of the relationship and he have to take control over me. I felt very offended bc since when someone have to tell me when I can move if I am the one who is paying for that. I never ask for anything, I work and pay my bills. Now we are getting marry on Jan so I asked him to bring his bills to our house and the dad is saying the same thing again. I just want to have our financial status fix and clear before we get marry. I am wrong?

I often lock the computer room while I'm using the 'net because when people come in they make noise. I use headphones which makes the volume of what I listen to very low. So if people are near, I can't hear at all.

My older sister unscrewed the knob OUT of the door! I pushed the treadmill to the door and a lot of heavy books so no knob doesn't change anything. But there really is something wrong with my sister lately. No only has she increased petty name calling the past month (including "pisqueak" today out of the blue) but now she's taking knobs out! I even drove her around today and yesterday to a couple places to be nice because she has no license. I don't understand... is my being a good sister to her deserve cruel, and frankly odd behavior from her? And my parents never help... ever since I was a child, they've ignored me about how she is.

My brother is a very kind person but drugs have taken over his life. He's irriable and depressed. He recently got beat up so badly he had his jaw broken in 3 places, and he will never fully recover from it, years ago he almost OD on a eight ball, and had to phone my mom shaking and in tears to bring him home. He was in he's early twenty's then. Now he's 29 almost and he's facing jail time (because him and he's ex-girlfriend were fighting and it got physical) (that's not his personialty to hit a girl it's the drug and the type of girl his with!) and he's for sure into cocaine as in the police report he had done two lines of coke that night. He;s life is so scary. And he of course thinks he doesn't have a problem.
He wasn't raise at all like this. His personality has been stolen because of drugs. And it's only a matter of time until we find out he's dead.

One time I was changing in my room and my parents came in without knocking.. Another time, I was in the shower and my parents opened the bathroom door without letting me know. IWhen I received an award in the mail, my parents opened it without letting me see it and ended up losing it. My parents explained to me that since I am under aged and under their care, they don't have to knock on the door and wait for me to open the door; they reason that since they own the room and the bathroom, they care come in whenever they want whether I like it or not. As for the mail, they say they can open my mail without at least letting me see it because since I am under their care, my mail is their property. Therefore, they said the award they lost was in a sense something they lost that was their property. I know that my parents can legally open my mail(even though I don't think it is respectful) but to lose it and say that it was not their fault is not right in my opinion.

A playgroup I belong to has this one particular mother who is rude, self-absorbed and is the typical high-school clique snob. She has been rude to me on countless occasions and has in fact thrown several parties where she has invited all other members of the playgroup in front of me but has never included me in. It saddens me that she dislikes me so much because I am a great person and I am a great friend (you know the one that you can share every one of your darkest secrets and know that five second after you walk out the door are on the phone telling every humuliating detail) but in intentially alienating me, she takes it out on my babies (2 1/2 years and 15 months).

How would you deal with this person and would you remain quiet if you saw and knew this was going on. Especially, since she appears to control the clique???

i asked my sister if she drinks and she says she doesn't. bs. i registered on facebook (didn't add her as a friend), joined her network, saw her profile, and shes at beirut tournies and i see her drinking rum and coke and shiznit like that. i feel sad bc none of my family members drink. and she has the nerve to lie about it. im not going to say anything to her or my rents out of not wanting to infringe on her privacy but its still disgusting that she'd lie like that. oh yea, and she also went to puerto rico with her friends without telling my parents, and she was spending like crazy with her debit card and went $720 over... when asked she just told my parents that she was simply having a good time. that bothers me! anyway whats going on with her? she is so detached when she comes home, she doesn't care anymore.

When I told everyone about how I was 23 still living with my parents they acted like it was a crime. I don't understand why people can't see that times are hard. I graduated college only to have to come home & live with my parents. Its not like I am trying 2 be lazy or mooch off my parents. Sense I came home last year have been looking for jobs & going to interviews. I have had to luck. I had 2 take a job at Wal-Mart just so I could make money. The money I make there its not enough to get an apartment even with a roommate. I could get 1 but what money would I have to eat with? I'm back in school now tryin 2 get a 2nd degree. Why can't you people see that its not my fault that I have to live with my parents at 23? 50% of college grads have to move back with parents. Why can't people understand?

My mother is bipolar and she has made my whole life hell for me. She was diagnosed bipolar after my sister was born, who is three years younger then me. I went through years of court and abuse. Then everything was fine for a few years, but the last 6months give or take a few, she has not been taking her pills. The physical abuse has gone but the verbal is still there. I want to move in with my aunt in Detroit, but I live in Virginia. I haven't even asked my aunt to move in, but I doubt she would deny it if my father agreed. She just moved into this huge house and has plenty of space. My aunt also understands the pain I am going through. All I ever hear is whore and then she makes fun of the darkness of my skin. She'll find something to humiliate me about, and she has shut me out of the outside world. I want to try to convince my dad to let me go, I just need advice on how I should talk to him. I'm going to be staying with my aunt until the end of month. Im leavng in a week
