Family - September 2007

Okay, similar situations have occured before, but this is an example. My dad gets VERY angry, sometimes for absolutely no reason at all. I have soccer practice today, but since I'm not feeling well, I couldn't go. My mom was like, "okay sure, you don't have to go." But my dad was like, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?!!!??" He cursed at me and hit me like four times on the back, and now it's all red. My back hurts like crazy. He had no reason to do that, did he? He also sometimes yells at mom for no reason. What should I do?
No, I can't talk to my school counselor---it just seems weird, and I don't feel comfortable.

I am nearly 30 years old with a 2 year old daughter. I live about 40 minutes away from my family and 3 hours away from my husband's family. We made plans about 2 weeks ago to go and see them on our "monthly" visit. A family friend of my father's (with whom I am not all that close) was celebrating her 80th birthday. When she invited me and my family (through my father) I told them I had to regret as I had already made plans to go and see my husband's side of the family. She was fine with this. On the day of her birthday celebration, my sister, who is 2 years younger than me, called and stated that her boyfriend could not drive her the 3.5 hours to our family friend's birthday party and wanted me to change my plans and drive her. When I did not she started sending me nasty text messages and called our mother, who sided with her. My sister told me I was being selfish and that she'd break plans to drive me.

i have a 14 year old son who hates the air his dad breathes. We were both young when my son was born (i was 13 and he was 14). Our relationship ended about 5 months after my son was born. He was a good dad up until my son was about 9. that's when his "fiance" came into the picture. and since he met her he has been slacking as a dad big time. He would make promises to come and get my son for the weekend and never show up... not even call and say i cant make it. Would promise to come to my sons football games or take him to practice and never show. Promise to buy him stuff and never get it etc.

Anywho, me and my now husband have been together off and on since i was 14 and even in our off periods he has been like a father to my son. My son even calls him dad and calls his "father" by his real name. My husband and son are very close, and it's partially because he's always been there to pick up when his "father" let him down. now my son is 14 and we have a situation.

I'm an American on assignment in Japan for year. It's an intensive assignment and the only vacation I have for the whole year is at Thanksgiving, when I'm planning to meet my girlfriend in Hawaii. I was just about to ask my boss for an extra day off since it will be the only time in the whole year that my gf and I will be able to see each other (she can't take time off, either, except at Thanksgiving--long story). But one of my co-workers thought that the boss wouldn't go for the extra time off if it was "only" to see my gf. (In this job taking even one day off does put a big load on my co-workers--I have to arrange in advance for people to handle my specific duties, etc.). My co-worker said I should instead tell the boss that my family is having a long-planned reunion for my parents' 50th anniversary. I hate to mislead my boss, but I definitely want to see my true love. What do you all think? Which would hold more water with you if you were the boss--true love or a family reunion?

i am in college and was reading this other girl's essay for a peer review. in it she wrote how she was sexually abused by her dad and uncle as a child and how her family was torn apart over this. is there something i should say next time i see her? i only sit by her. i mean i don't really talk to her. i know this type of abuse is not easy for anyone. i don't want to say anything if i don't have to because i don't want to bring up any sad feelings. any suggestions?

advise on how to communicate with his father. His father does not call him on the phone and does not visit him. He is depressed and sad. Any tips on how he can have a relationship with his dad? He knows where his dad lives. The last time he saw his dad was when his dad stopped by very briefly to say hi only because he was in the area and a relative saw him and told him to come see his son.

My husband has 3 wks. Air Force Reserve in service duty. I hate it so much because I always have to be alone at home. We have a 2 y/o son that keeps me busy sometimes. But I really do feel like hell!! I'm a stay-home-mom, I stopped school so I can take care of my son & be a mom & wife. I live 4 hours away from my family & friends. We just moved to a new home and I don't even have friends to talk to or go out with in our new neighborhood. My son & I are really bored and I hate to feel bored because this is when I start thinking of negative thoughts and I start accusing my husband of cheating. Although, he has no previous history of cheating, I tend to think that all men will cheat when given an apportunity. I'm also frustrated because I want to work & start making money but my husbands work schedule sucks, I have to stay home and be a mom. I'm tired of staying home!! I want to go out there to work and stay busy! What do I need do?????

my mother is phsycologicly messed up on tons of pills, my brother (a god to her) is stealing them, smoking pot in the house, drinking nearly everyday, and for the past 2 yrs his friend has been living here and doing the same, only he back talks my father, me and my boyfriend. my boyfriend was tired of being nice to such a punk and kicked his butt and then my family agreed to kick him out. well the next day while i was at work he came by with a pitty story and they took him back in. only been 3 days and they've already back talked my father again and brought over a bunch of people and are partying. i've planned to move out by next month with my boyfriend. the thing is, is that my mother lets the kid talk to my father like that, she thinks he's a god too. why would my mom like these pot smoking, drunk, pill popping brats more than me? i've been threatend to be kicked out 3 times if i didn't get a job, which i've been working since 16, and my brother's 18 and hasn't done anything.never, not once, did she encourage him to do anything, he doesn't even know how to drive. he even dropped out of school. i tried to help him find a job and get back to school, but him and his friend got in my face and told me to go f^&% myself. i've tried helping all of them, but i feel bad leaving the situation. my poor father is such a good man, he does all he can but my mother just yells at him to shut up if he says he doesn't like them smoking pot or drinking or partying. should i just leave it as is? should i contact someone about the drug use? i don't want my father in trouble, he tries hard to not allow it, it's all my mother.

Tonight my mom didn't follow through on promising to pay our loan for two months while my husband is in between jobs. She never said she'd pay the whole loan, but she never said she wouldn't pay any of it either. She left us under the impression that she'd pay the $167 for 2 months. Now we're screwed. But to make matters worse, my father in law was the one who got it for us under the condition that my mom would pay it for those two months. My husband is livid and I'm stuck in the middle. My mom thinks he's using me to abuse her emotionally because he said he's no longer going to help her out with anything, and he basically feels burned. I am stuck choosing my loyalty to either her or him and I just want to curl up in a ball and escape from this hell.

So, is he abusing her/me? Is she using us? Or is it just an unfortunate situation leaving everyone hurt and "wronged"?

my mother passed away suddenly last saturday...when i saw her, she really looked as if she was sleeping...which made me feel ok since my siblings would have that memory as well...she was not an organ donor, but we decided to donate a small portion of her skin for skin graphing...they promised to respect her body and not violate either what we gave permission for, or her remains...my mother was a pretty woman, but when i went to the funeral home to preview her before then viewing, what was there, was not my mom...they took everything including her bones...that face is burned in my memory for ever...it looked like an ugly mask...i am so thankful to God that i decided to go view her alone that day...i would not be able to live with myself if my siblings had seen that...now, i have to live with the fact that i denied them the right to see their mother before burring her...i had to order the casket be closed...she was loved by so many people...they didn't get to see her one last time...

(I THINK THE KID DOES IT ON SPITE)The kid mother is out of the picture. He tryed to send his son in school wearing a diaper. The school obviously won't take him. He is under the impression it is the school responsibility to take him they cant rufuse a child's education. I never heard of any teacher thats going to change a 5 year old? wouldnt social services get involved? Even if the kid got into school wearing a diaper wouldnt the other kids make fun of him if not potty trained?
