Leo, a 16 yr old boy is awakened by a loud smashing of the chinaware which his father threw hard on the floor. This has become a daily routine for Leo and he has grown accustomed to it. His father usually gets drunk even in the mornings and comes home angry at everybody. Loud exchange between his father and mother would normally follow after a plate or 2 have been broken. Leo could do nothing but to stay in bed and ponder about his future..

My former father-in-law is ill and not expected to live long. He was my father-in-law for 22 years and is my children's grandfather so I want to pay my respects to the family.

My ex and I had an ugly split - he left for another woman who he is now married to. I've never met the new wife, rarely see my ex and have minimal contact with my exe's family since the divorce. When he passes away, should I attend the funeral or go to the visitation, or both?

This past saturday was my grandmothers 67th birthday. we had a little barbecue over her house. We all having a great time when it was time for her to open her gifts I gave her a card.In the card it was some lottery scratch off tickets lucky sevens she like that game. My Gandmother has a good sense of humor so I figured I would buy a bag of depends for her as a joke that says Happy Birthday On It. I gave it to her she looked pissed off then sad. later on that night my parents are yelling at me because I insulted her. What the ****?

If he gets the job he wants, he could be gone up to a year... Not to mention right now he leaves for a month for training. What can make it easier for me to deal with it? Maybe certain activities, or just a mind set.

i know this question is very stupid as it sounds..should i stay or leave? me and my "live-in BF" have been living together for almost 2 yrs now. and since we move from SF to Suckramento (lol) everything has changed. we fought for like every 2-3 weeks. most of the time for nothing. back in SF we don't have a car coz we don't really need it. and now that we have everything was falling apart between us. am i just being paranoid? what should i do? i'm thinking to leave this apartment and find myself. i left my relatives in SF and his family are all here. i admit that i'm being out of place. last time we fought it was physical and i was hurt really bad. he became hot tempered unlike before. it's like i cannot reason out or even raise my voice! help. should i stay or leave?

My son is only five months old. But my partners step-father talks non-stop about 'when he's old enough' he can go hunting with him. I don't agree with hunting - I'm a vegetarian and wish to bring him up vegetarian UNTIL he's old enough to understand what he is eating. Then it is up for him to decide.

However, his step dad's career, well, is a "possum hunter". They are, supposidly a pest in New Zealand and he, well, poisons them (with very dangerous poisons not suitable to be around children), finds them later, brings them home and skins them. The carcasses are usually left around the driveway - without a skin. I've also stepped on things such as ears and testes before while visiting. His job is up to him, and job aside he is a VERY nice person. However i feel uncomfortable with him talking about taking him out hunting for possums (and sometimes wild pigs.)

Should I leave this and address it when it matters? Or should i or my partner talk to him before he gets carried away...opinions

Whether it be religious tradition, or tradition that they should have a family and kids when they grow up, etc? Are we hurting our children more than helping them by enforcing traditions we were raised by upon them?

ok, my aunt and uncle on my stepdads side got a divorce. that may not seem that bad, but they were like my second parents. my mom and stepdad are usually busy with work. and my aunt and uncle were the ones who took me to do fun stuff, gave me advice about growing up. my uncle especially. (hes 28) he didnt treat me like the avarage teenager. he understood that i wasnt like every other girl who cared about hollister or boyfriends, or popularity. (no offense to girls who do, its just not me). and we LOVED listening to old greenday together. he taught me a couple of their songs on guitar and everything. and now that they are divorced, i dont get to see him anymore. only my aunt. it really hurts my feelings becuase whenever i listen to my greenday cd i start crying and wishing that i could go back in time. i know it sounds sappy but whatever. i really miss seeing his band in concert and hanging out.

what can i do to get over it or to at least comfort myself?

My neice and nephew were in an unhealthy environment - everyone on husband's side knew but noone did anything, everyone just accepted it and tried to help. The oldest is now 3, and nothing has changed, no matter how much help has been given.

I finally called. It seemed the right thing to do for the kids. Should I tell my husband or not? How would you feel if you were him, and if you were me?

If your ex-g/f of 10 years played with your heart for a third time and because you truly loved her and you took her back AND then it ended and she went back three weeks later to the person she cheated you with, what would you do?

She cheated on me and got pregnant. I forgave her. She got an abortion. I forgave her again. We made love many times. I took great care of her for those three weeks, again, and was the perfect friend.

She owes me $1500 bucks. I am the ONLY one who knows about the abortion. If others knew no one would want anything to do with her again. If she doesn't pay should I tell everyone about the abortion? I am not angry that she left, I guess that was a blessing. What I am now angry about is something she did, which would take too much space to write.

So, what would you do? Just let it go? I guess I am stupid BUT put yourself in my shoes for a few seconds please. Thanks.

sigh...well I guess that the whole world's full of counselors but not a single one can help me with my situation

Mom: sigh where to start....well she's a good cook but that's about it....the most important thing about her is that she is someone who doesn't play fair (during arguements, it would usually start with my mom accusing me of something, then I would explain back to her about this and that and then she would have no more to say but doesn't want to lose her pride...so for the next few hours, she would just keep accusing me in front of my dad).

Dad: man.....this guy is one of those guys who had to get from poor to rich (from old China to the U.S.) he does not like to argue, in fact he is scared to argue (now don't get me wrong, it would usually start: me and mom would argue, he would interrupt saying he's going to call 911 then he would talk to my mom and tell me that im gonna have to back off or else he's gonna have to "stab both of us in the neck to make us shut up"

I feel in love with someone's daughter. She's an energetic young girl. like her a lot. I'd do anything for her. I like playing with her and answering her questions. I even think about how nice it would be to help her with homework or pick her up from school. But she's my friends girlfriends daughter. He doesn't like to play with her at all. I guess he isn't good with kids. Why do I like the daughter? Is this a sign that I want a family of my own?

My mother often leaves for days at a time without calling. My brother and sister and I are in high school. We live with my grandma and my mother is hardly employed. She goes off with one of her friends, always, instead of being with her kids. I've tried talking with her, she says it is because we treat her like crap. I have no idea what to do. Should I report her?

my grandma has alzheimers and she is i would say in the moderate stage she knows who everyone she is close to is and everything its more the not so important things she tends to forget, anyway

her dog she has had for 11 years and is practically her baby needs to be put to sleep and she has come to terms with this it is just a matter of when, i know this will be terrible and hard for her, and i hope afterward she remembers that she passed away and doesnt try to find her or feed her,

but i think it would be easier for her to cope if she had a new animal, do you think an old house trained dog would be good company, or a cat but they are not as affectionate, i just wanted some advice on this and if youve ever been in a similar situation id like to hear your input

thanks so much

We have been together for about 5 months. The whole month of July he spent with his boys in Vietnam for 3 weeks. every weekend for the whole month of August was booked with his family functions, weddings, b-days, house warmings you name it. I went with him to all of them.
There were times that we'd drive to the east bay to see his family even in the middle of the week. Its the 2nd week of September and both weekends, he went home to visit his family. I'm starting to get irritatated because there are way to many family events of his and he doesn't schedule in quality time for us as much as he schedules his family in . we see each other everyday because we practically live together, he claims that we see each other everyday and isn't that enough?
My complaint is that I'd like to go out with him and do things and not just watch t.v at home and call that quality time. Is it right for me to be irritated with this? He says that I shouldn't.
