My daughter's dad moved to U.K. 4 years ago. Until then we shared custody on a week on week off basis. Since he moved she has been going to him on hols. 6 months ago he broke up with the mother of his 6 yr old and now lives in a van so for the last couple of visits my daughter has been staying with his ex. I have become very frustrated by his lack of input into my daughter's life, schooling etc. I wrote him a letter outlining this and asked him specifically to come over here to Ireland for a couple of weeks around the time she was starting secondary school as I really believe his support would be good. He's come over alright but has lined up so much work he is hardly going to see her. How do I get across to him how important it is to have more input? Am I wrong in thinking that a 12 yr girl needs her dad around more than a 6 yr old? Am I wrong in thinking that she would be better off staying with me on hols rather than his ex and that he come here in term time for a few weeks instead

I'm a Christian and my boyfriend is a Muslim. We've been together for three years and his asking were we are going with the situation. He gave me time to ponder, but i don't think that i need any time to think, he knows that i love him to bits and he loves me too, but i don't want to change my faith and neither does he want too. I never once gave him a option as to change his faith for me. I really think that his family is busy putting pressure on him and then as for my family again, they say what ever decisions i make they are with me all the way, i'm a grown up and so is he. What do i tell him? His waiting on a answer.
How do i go about the whole of the situation? Please help me! What answer do i have to give him? At the end of the day the two of us will be a family on our own...

I'm 29 years old and both my parents are in kind of bad health. My mom's diabetic and has trouble moving around and my dad is in the hospital getting a feeding tube inserted in his stomach. He had a stroke and can't eat food so easily anymore.
I made travel plans last month for a trip to Asia. I haven't gone anywhere in 2 years. I want to go but I feel guilty about leaving my parents here while they are not in good health. My mom almost cried when I told her I wanted to travel.
What should I do?

I was so nervous and desperate and during the last years of his life we just had fights...BUT I DO LOVE HIM...he was the best father.he did whatever he could to raise me and send me to university. I was the only kid so when he was sick I was in charge of life and so I felt my life is ruined.now its two years that he has passed away while I even regret that he died caz of heart stoke but when he told me he has pain(like so many times) I didn't take it serious and when I came back he was dead.what can I do to tell him I love him?know so late but I can't forgive myself

My little brother doesn't like to go outside much so 3 years ago, my parents made rules that when I go swimming, bike riding, etc., he had to go too. At the beginning of summer, my brother and I were fighting about his going bike riding with me and our mom took his side and didn't make him go. The same thing happened with swimming later in the day. I tried telling my brother Mom said he had to and that worked for a little while until he confronted Mom, and I got yelled at for lying! I tried telling him Dad said he had to, but when he went to Dad, Dad grounded me for lying about him saying something he didn't say. Our parents also allow his friends I don't like coming over. They aren't "bad" kids, just people I have nothing in common with. We've always gone to the same school but this year, our parents sent him to a different school. Now me, my friends, and their siblings in his class can't watch him and nobody I know knows anyone at his new school. How do I get our parents straight?

This is a very touchy subject and one I'm embarrassed to admit. 2 years ago I sent my 4 kids to live with their dad (my oldest child's father died 3 years ago so she lives with her uncle). I have no patience and yell all the time (even now when I see them, I just have no patience). My life sucks and sometimes I want to just kill myself and end it all, but how can I do that after seeing what my daughter went through after her dad died. I have been seeing counselors for 15 years and have been on every type of medication. I love my kids more than life and would do anything for them, they just annoy me. What is wrong with me? I block everything out but every once in a while it hits me... that I'm a rotten mother and don't deserve anything good in life... then I just cry for days and try to figure out a way to make things better - with them, for myself, etc. Then it all goes away and I'm back to my usual blank self, with no feeling, no hope for anything.

My brother passed away a little over 2 weeks ago and I feel like I am going crazy!! I want him back so bad!! I spend so much time on the computer trying to find ways to fix him and I know I can't fix him, he's gone...FOREVER!!! That drives me crazy!! We were so close, we talked daily and I don't know how to laugh anymore, all I really want to do is stay in bed!! But I have a family who needs me and I need them!! I can't talk to my parents about this, they are dealing with their pain and of course I am the strong one for them~~ When you talk to your friends they don't know what to say to you!! So you really are just left alone, I do talk to God a lot, and I know He is helping me!! I just need to know if there is anyone that understands what I am feeling?? Is it normal or am I going crazy???

my fiance's 18 yr old daughter hates me. Her mom and him divorced 3 yrs ago before I even came into the picture. she blames me for the breakup of the marriage. Her mom and dad both have told her they had problems long before that. they were married 25 yrs and had not slept in the same bed for the last 15 yrs. he stayed because of his 2 daughters. Her sister is 24 and has accepted me and we get along fine. I have did all kinds of things to try and win her over. I gave her a sweet 16 party. the first party she ever had, I let her drive my car when I first met her, and I always buy her nice gifts at christmas. she has cursed at me and told everyone she hates me. she says she wont come around to see her dad because of me. I have never kept him from seeing her, i even encourage him to do things with her. she wants him to come visit her at her mother's home while her mom is there. she quit school and does not work. she is also into drugs. she even told her dad she wants to whoop my rear!

My little brother used to be my best friend; I would take him with me everywhere. He is now 13 and has been acting worse and worse by the day. He never wants to go with me places, he disrespects me in front of my friends, and he yells at me, he is worse with my parents. I don’t know what I can do to turn this boy around, because I don’t want him to grow up to be a spoiled, obnoxious, intolerable, immature young boy. He goes to high school next year and I want him to be respectful, and not the type that is easily influenced by others. Please advise; thank you so much.

7yrs. The thing is I don't really like his parents, his dad is ok but his mum she is two faced, she talks about me behind my back (even in my own house) then is nice to me the next as though i don't know. The thing is when we first got engaged we were constantly being asked when we going to have kids etc and now his sister has a baby to some lad she hasn't know two minutes (lucky it has worked out ok) anyway his parents are all for his sister and it winds me up how different they treat him to his sister she comes first he comes second, they visit her every week and us once a month if we r lucky. Anyway its his sisters 21st this month and my partner has decided that he isn't going because since his sister got with this bloke she doesn't bother with him unless she wants something (he has finally seen it!). I can guarantee they will think i have told him not to go, how can I handle this without me losing it and telling them exactly what i think about them...

I have this dumb ass teacher who acts like a jerk to only 2 students in my class. Me and one of my friends. We not dumb or naughty, in fact we're probably the top students but when we say something normal it's like its so rude and disgusting. She'll also get us into trouble easily for not doing anything and if we are the other students in the class are doing the same thing. Who hates their teachers as well? Only if you agree please answer. What should we do? Also the worst part is, she is our science and maths teacher which means we get her ALOT!

I have a 2-1/2 year old daughter. Recently I have been observing a rapid decline in my health. My child is currently looked after my parents (I am working) since my in-laws have never been supportive. My husband however blindly follows whatever his mother instructs him to do, even at the cost of my health. All savings are currently done by me and I do not trust my husband to secure the future of my child. In the event of anything untoward happening to me, I would like my child to be cared for by my parents and my brother and NOT my mother-in-law or my husband. Can this be possible?

My sister raves about her Landmark education Forum. I even went to an 'orientation ' meeting to check it out, but every time she mentioned she'd pay the $400 fee for me to participate in the weekend 'whatevertheycallit' enrollment/inrichment thing I could only think, " Man, I honestly can't remember even one time when I'd spent even $40 on something other than a direct payment for a cost of living expense. If she only knew what $400 would DO for me to put MY mind at ease...I don't think I'm ready for this type of a thing"
About a month later she called me and I was in my back yard working on a lawnmower for a customer ( I live from a very meager income, but I like what I do) she told me that the $400 fee was paid, all I'd have to do is go. I almost felt like she was trying to convince me of it being a make or break for me. Then she asked me, " What are you doing that is going to put you in a position different than what you're in right now?"
She has no idea what a real struggle is.

i belong to a broken family, my aunt was the one who raised me and took care of me ever since i was a baby. I kind of left her to help my sister established her business together with her foreigner bf. Since i am more experienced and decisive, I helped her a lot. i helped her from zero to a stable business now. But last year i decided to work and finally let her manage her own business that she took it bitterly. But i got sick and she didn’t actually offer any financial help, i couldn’t just stay at home asked her all the time for money for my medications. I worked again. Ever since i started working her bf treated me so cold and he looks at me with mockery. He even told me "separate your life”. Do i deserve to be treated this way? We live in the same house; her bf comes in the country to visit her almost every month.Would it be so bad if i leave them now and try to build my future, live my life the way i want it?i packed my dreams for almost 3 years to give way to my family...
