recently some of my family went to europe. we all went over to their house to look at photos and discuss their trip. it turns out my aunt and uncle bought presents for my two of my three younger cousins. the two boys recieved wonderful presents. the girl however didnt recieve one. my aunt and uncle never apologized they just said they "didnt have enough money for presents for everyone" but they could have easily not spent los of money on two outlandish presnts for the boys and have gotten each child a small gift. the little girl didnt seem upset, she smiled and watched her cousins recieve their presents but she did look a little hurt to be left out. i felt horrible for her and wondered why she had been left out? has anything like this happend to your family?

My grandpa can't walk. So he needs someone to care for him. But the guy that takes care of him yells at him and is real rough with him. But he changes his scheldule to meet my grandparents needs. My grandma can't take care of him on her on. She is paying him over 16 dollars an hour. She doesn't know if she should fire him or not. What should she do?

My husband's co-worker made an inappropriate call to him after hours on his cell (not the work cell). She got his # from his personnel file. I called her back, introduced myself & politely told her never to call my husband again outside of working hours & during business hours to use his work # if needed. I was civil & simply stated what I had to say then said thank you, good-bye. My husband works where we live. It's 2 weeks later & the co-worker reports another resident filed a complaint stating I yell @ her when she walks by. Not true. The woman is my neighbor & couldn't be nicer. She spoke with my husband about this & said it didn't happen - she never complained. Then offered to let management know that if we wanted. At this point, I've done nothing, though I am considering a formal complaint against the co-worker. She lied to retaliate because she didn't like me telling her to leave my husband alone. But that lie is on record & could affect my family's living situation. What to do?

I'm 15, and since I can remember the relationship of my mom and her mom is extremely ice. My mom has a strong resentment of her mom. We have a close relationship and last week mom finally told me what happened. When she was 14 she made mistakes, things I know many teens do. Her mom was kinda harsh, though she sincerely apologized and promised she wouldn't repeat thos e mistakes. She told mom she had broken her trust and this devasted mom, that loved my grandma. Mom said for months she did her best to get her mom trust back, but she was forgiven. She got depressed but got over and when she got her mom trust back their relationship was destroyed. I understand mom, my grandma was really cruel and mom asked me "Imagine if I did that to you?/" I've made mistakes but nothing that damaged our relationship, but I think I'd get devastated too. Anyway, I like my grandma, for more than 20 years she's been suffering w/ this, I guess she regrets what she did . Is there anyrthing I can do?

hi...i'm a 22 yr old woman. when i was 16 i was sexually abused by a teacher of mine. i could never muster up the courage to tell anyone about it. it went beyond molestation but still i never confided in anyone. but then i got bolder and threatened him that i'd approach the police and that seemed to make him back off. now i'm a university student and his son is a year senior to me there. i always knew he was my teacher's son and always tried to maintain a distance. but he's a charming guy and a heartthrob and i found out that he's nowhere near his father. we have been dating for 2 years now. i always knew i'd be in for awkward times with his father if we pursue our relationship seriously. but i never seemed to care. i haven't told my bf about what his dad did to me. nowadays i worry too much about how it's all gonna shape up. what will happen if my bf gets to know. i would love to confide in him but how would he react? i'm really muddled up.......

I have a hard time dealing with my mother because she makes everything seem likes its my fault.

I know that I can not be wrong ALL of the time. We have never been close in a mother/ daughter sortof way.

What is the best thing to do except ignore her and not let what she says get into my head?

Hi... I was just wondering my one of my girlfriends won't stop talking about her dead father, is it denial? She doesn't use past tence like "He was a doctor" or "He loved vacations", she will say "My Dad? He's a doctor." or "My dad loves vacations!" She brings him up in every sentence, and it happened 1 year ago, that he died. Does she need to see somebody? What's wrong exactly?

If i have never had any arrest or conviction record for any type of drug can the mother of my child make me take a drug test?

Seems kind of an invasion of privacy, there are no grounds for it whatsoever.

I do smoke the occasional joint at a party....never, ever when my child is around.

Because everytime you introduce a new cousin he would start screaming, "Nooo, that's impossible!"

Me and my husband have been having problems and I called my sister-in-law to try to help me and give me some advice about how to handle things......I called my dad too.....My dad and my sister-in-law also talked for a while trying to understand what my husbands problem is and to see if they could help. My mom does nothing but tell me its all my fault and I shouldnt have married him.....which doesnt help much.....so anyway my sister-in-law asked if she could call my dad because she had an idea of what my dad could do or say to my husband to make him understand that there are certain things he should not do (like ripping the door off the hinges) so I said yeah and gave her is number.......they talked for awhile and came up with a plan and they hung up and my dad went inside to tell my mom what they talked about and she asked my dad "WELL DID YOU HAVE A NICE PHONE DATE?!?!" My dad did not know what to say he was so upset...when he told me the only thing I could think of was "SHE IS NUTS"!

I am living with my parents along with my 15 year old daughter. I have the feeling that no one is on my side.

My parents are constantly finding fault with me and the way that I take care of my daughter and clean the house.

On top of that, my mother is now ill with maybe shingles, IBS and anemia. She is cranky and constantly is rude to and gets upset with me in front of my child. If I say anything, my dad gets upset with or makes a face at me.

If I tell my daughter anything, my mom tries to exchange a look with my daughter saying that I am "wrong."

I don't know how to deal with it except ignore her and constantly tell myself to not let her behavior get to me. My mother is stubborn and cranky and I can not change her.

I can only control the thoughts in my head. But, I don't know how to deal with the fact that she turns my child and Dad against me and I already feel that?

We have just run out of toilet paper and my mum has put newspaper at the side of the loo. Does she really think that this is adequate? Would you use newspaper?

OK, here's my story. I want to start by saying that my parents are wonderful, they love me very much, & I love them. But for a long time I have felt that they don't really care about my goals/interests and I have felt very little support/encouragement from them. I've always gone 2 good schools & have been interested in the performing arts and science. When I was younger, I wanted to pursue acting/singing for many years, but my parents brushed aside my interests and only sprung for voice lessons after I'd begged them for several years. My parents excuses were that they're to expensive & they didn't know if I would put my lessons to use. My brother on the other hand, gets every lesson in every sport, sport camps costing thousands of dollars every summer, but he doesn't express the same committment to his goals/passions like I do. Even now that I'm in college, my parents show very little interest/support in what I choose to do. I really feel so alone. What should I do? Where should I go?
