Family - August 2007

okay, so all my life, ive lived w/ my mom and grandmother, and my mom being an ex meth addict and now being an alcoholic, hasnt ever been much of a parent to me, and my dad is way out of the picture. my grandmother passed away almost a month ago. i dont have much family, all i have is my aunt and uncle, and it seems like everything i do is wrong to them, and my mom is still drinking heavily. Shes rude to my friends and starts fights w/ me on a regular basis. Tonight she started a bunch of stuff w/ 2 families in my court, and it was a huge shouting match outside. Now im scared to stay home alone or go outside alone bc of my neighbors, and they have already threatend me and told me they were gonna kick my ***. im an only child and im almost 16 years old. it seems like i have nothing, all i have is 1 really close friend who is always there for me and loves me more than my mom does. and most of my family doesnt like him.i cant live like this for 2 more years. what should i do??????????????

My mother in law is looking after her 14 month old twin nieces after her good for nothing criminal brother got chucked in gaol for armed robbery (the mother is a waste of skin junkie).

Anyway, she has had the girls for 6 months & my problem is this: I can't seem to do anything right! I am not allowed to take them outside for a walk as it is too cold (she took them for a walk right after telling me it was too cold). I can't give them anything to eat because they have just had a bottle (she gave them come cake right after telling me no). I can't help her by changing a nappy or giving a bottle because I won't be able to do it right.

What is this woman's problem? I know it isn't just me she does this to so it isn't personal but I would really like to know what the deal is.

So one day I decided to show off in front of a guy i liked at the pool. he was just sitting by the deck and i showed him how freaking fast i could kick with a board. after four lengths i realized my nipples were showing because my top fell! i've shown interest before by flirting soooo i'm hoping he didn't think it was on purpose that this "accident" happened. he didn't saying anything about it...do you think a guy would ever think a girl did something like that on purpose?!

for my whole life, my father has always screamed and yelled at my mother, but lately he has been doing it to my older brother too AND A LOT!!!! It rips me apart every time i see my mom crying and so badly hurt. We are considered "wealthy" and in the public he seems as a perfectly normal dad ~ and everyone else sees us as a very lucky happy family!! he doesnt exactly call us names he just well... like if my mom (and we needed one REAL BAD!) wanted a new car he would yell at he top of his lungs "well go get your @#$% car but dont expect me to ..." and he goes on for hours and hours sometimes even days! Its like he makes up issues just so he can star yelling every chance he gets! my mom has asked me for some time now if it would affect me if she divorced him and in a good way or bad!! my mom is awesome and wants only wants what’s best for us kids!! I fell as if my dad hates me and wants nothing at all to do with me! Therefore im very stubborn and block him out of my life!! Im afraid that if I tell him how I fell, he’ll blame my mom like he does everything!!! BUT I WANT A DAD!!! What should I do? Would it be better for us without him in our lives or would it destroy my 7 year old brother? And is what he does abusive?

Ok well I am in college and last semester I had a math teacher who is a female .. (we are both female) but anyway.. we became friends b/c I thought she was such a nice/good person. I kinda asked her for her friendship and she accepted and now we always talk through email all the time and it seems we are becoming closer friends. Its cool b/c she was pregnant and I was able to give her baby gifts and also we went out to lunch a couple of times. She is kinda like a guidance in a way for me. In some ways, I think she was meant to become my friend because of the things she has helped me through and gave me advice with. I applied at a job that her husband works at and she told me she would tell her husband to put in a good word for me and I have never even met him ever although I am taking a class with him when school starts. I was just wondering... do you think people like this who come into your life are there to serve a purpose or to help you in some way like a godsend?

Its like she playing favoritism. Whenever my little sister does something she's not supposed to like drink her water bottles, she doesn't really get mad at her she just jokes with her but when I eat one of her turnovers she gets mad at me and cusses me out, it's not fair and i know its not fair.

Or when I went to McDonalds to get something for my mom and she didn't have enough money to get the drink with it because of tax, I go in and get what she wants, but just to be nice, i get her the drink and she comes out and says "How do you get a drink and I don't" with an attitude but the thing is I went to go get it for her and i know she felt real stupid after i cut her off and told her it was for her.

She does a lot of unfair things towards me, but these are just some of the petty incidents i had to go through with her. It's like when my sister does something its like "ooohhh that's so cute and you so sweet" and when I do something its like "oh ok". I'm starting to really hate her!

i have a 14 yr old daughter that i got custody of because of her mothers drug abuse. i gave her the world, i wanted to show her the good life. i recieved a call from her teacher one day, informing me that he was kicking her out of his class due to disrespect. so i grounded her. she had big plans to go to a party on new years, i told her no. that night she left with her mother at 2am while i was asleep and went to the police and put child abuse charges on me. so the following week i went to court to get sole custody papers, only to be served with a protection from abuse order. she crossed from missouri into ks so my hands were tied. all the charges were thrown out due to the bruise color chart but the worthles mother now has custody of her. this woman has lost her other daughter, put one kid up for adoption and has another on the way. the kcks court granted her custody, she quit her job, draws welfare and is now going for child support. what do i do?

Well here's the story, My boyfriend and I had a baby in March and the number of time's his mother has seen the baby I can count on one hand. I talk to her every blue moon but we are not close or anything. This is only her 2nd grandchild and her 1st boy. Does anyone think that's weird that a grandmother wouldn't want to see her grandson or keep him or anything? She asked to keep him one time but didn't say anything to me she asked her son and he mentioned it to me. Otherwise nothing and she doesn't call to check on him either even when I was pregnant she didn't call to check on me that often. I asked him about it and he said she works a lot but she doesn't work more than any other normal person. And she and I don't have any problems she likes me and I like her so I don't think it's that. What could it be??

Shes getting pissed at me because I can't download korean music that she wants to hear so bad. Now she just gave me a bowl of watermelons as if to bury the hatchet and she keeps rambling on about how much I suck at downloading. My mom acts like this all the time and it's not helping me cope with life any better. -_-

Any suggestions on dealing with this outrage of a situation?

he is fat. period. he is unfit. he has blood pressure problems and needs to exercise 5 times a week on prescription by a certified doctor. Its just that he doesnt care. even with his blood pressure, he'll probably live till 70 (currently 49yo) so he believes his life's complete. i know its his life...but i dont ant to lose him. making him fitter will definately increase his lifespan.

so what do you think? should i try and get him fit (i'll ask another question) or should i leave him to lead his own life? Im 14 by the way, just so you have an estimation of how long I have to live.

I was adopted a few years ago. My biological family now wants to see me after seventeen years. I am still stuck on the question why do they want to see me. It has been so long I mean why now ? I am so confused. They are all coming to see me tomorrow. This is all my brothers fault he was the one he got in contact with them. I always told my brother I do not want to see them and he did not listen to anything I said he went and told them that I want to see them. I have nothing to say to them...what should I ask them...of course I am going to be nice but I have nothing to say but hello and then what else ?

Just incase some of you read a similar question in general famiy & relationships, please know that I am happy with the answers, but was hoping for more answers. Bottom line is I am 36, had depression and anxiety in my life, and still worry about what my Mom thinks on "everything". She is great, and isn't the judgmental type, so why would I do this? What kind of questions should I be asking myself to figure out why I worry so much about it? Also, I feel I need to protect her and worry like crazy if I think that I or someone else I love might have said something that bothered her even a little bit. Thanks and please be kind. P.S. I have explored this in therapy and was there for 5 yrs, but still am unsure why I do this. It is horrible to feel this way.

My mom has been in an abusive relationship for the past 7 yrs. She also has an alcohol problem and has even just not come home from the bar leavin me to care 4 my 2 young sisters. She is also in and out of jail a lot. I love my lil sisters to death and i want them to be safe. I worry that when school starts and I go back to my fathers house they will be in danger. I spend weeks at my fathers house and only visit my mother every other weekend; while my lil sisters spend every other week w/ my mother and the oppisit week w/ their father. I am thinkin of moving to my mothers to protect my lil sisters but i dont know if i should. I have a great life w. my father and would be giving up so much! Does anyone have any opinion on if i should do this or wat else i could do.

P.S. I have tried talking to my mom and it doesnt help and my sisters father will not take full cusditity.

Ok, so my mom drinks. Let me give you some background info. She always use to drink since I can remeber. Her dad was also a drinker. Her and my mom always use to get into fight. And she is more of the angry drunk, not the happy kind. I'd say alm ost exactly 4 years ago, she got really nasty. The fights were big! She got so bad that she almost stabbed my dad. That is when he went to the police. So, she got to sleep in jail for a day, and I am really confused about the rest. Soon after, my parents got a divorce. She went to this rehab like thing. She wasn't drinking after that. But during this year, I noticed suspicious stuff. Since she use to drink, I know what wine smells like. I would sniff her glass and I thought it smelled like wine. I discovered the actual wine bottle in late May. We have been having fights too and with my sister. One time, there was a fight where my sis took a knife and said she would do it. She didn't. I think se has depression. So I took
