Family - October 2007

You pay rent, they knock on your door for dinner and make obvious gestures of being annoyed by your prescence, if you stand up and object to the rudeness, hours later it is so contrite and "Im sorry if you interpeted it that way". What would you think?

Recently, my neighbours went overseas. They asked me and my father to look after their place while they're away. Anyway, today my mother (who lives in different house), decided it would be OK to take some firewood from their house. So, I thought it wrong of me to let her do it, so I told her not to, because the neigbours have trusted me to look after the property. She got very upset, returned the wood, and basically has ceased communication with me. Did I handle this right (even though I am feeling like crap, and so is my mother)? Should I have just let her take a few pieces and not worry about it? Finally, what should I do now? Suggestions please.

Deal and she likes to take over the bathroom for a whole hour
She is supposed to be moving in her new apartment and she
Hasn't done that, yet I mean I think God has moved her back
In my place just to make my miserable or to test me. She is
as Ruthless as they come, got tapes around the place like
She is trying to record our thoughts or something. She is
Nerv wrecking at times, I want to scream or cut myself.

I won't defend, because she makes a happen of taking
Her past problems that got her to this point on me, if someone
Has an answer for this, please tell me why she does the things

I monitor my son's MySpace page and found today he posted a photo of himself with fake blood pouring out of his mouth down the front of his shirt. It was his main photo. I immediately raised hell and told him to delete it - it was sick looking. He claims it was a "zombie" pic. I told him it just looked ridiculous and sick/gross. It looked graphic like he had cut himself and bled all overhimself. I got extremely angry because he took this pic while I wasn't home. I told him if this was what he was doing when I trusted him home alone then he would no longer be staying home alone anymore. The picture scared me because he was making a growling face - freaked me out. Normally he's a good kid -into war movies, airplanes and music. This was weird - all his other pics on MySpace are normal. I grounded him from the computer for posting such a nasty pic. My question is what is up with teenagers? Do their brains go dormant when they turn 15? He knows better than to post this crap.

My older sister called about 15 minutes ago,She lives in another state.we talk for less then 10 minutes so the conversation is going well untill I tell her I saw one of our cousins who mom just past away.she asks me did I attend the funeral and I told her no I did not attend. she asked why.The reason I did not attend the funeral is because my father side of the family is always treating my mother really bad.My father use to be married to this lady so my father sisters and his neices keep inviting his ex-wife to the funeral and doing alot of other evil things.They are trying to get my father back with this lady.so anyway my sister says she is still your aunt.Then I ask her well why you did not attend,she said because of money problems.so then she got upset with me and wanted to talk to my mom.I know I should have attended the funeral but if I would have attend I know I would have got into it with my aunts or cousins.so I would like to know do you think Im wrong for not attending?

My brother had sex with this girl and now she's pregnant and broke up with her the day she told him. She calls me, distraught and says she doesn't know what to do, I can't do anything because he's in the military and living all the way in California where he met her. I told him he needs to take responsibility and support her. He says that she's a hoe and hit on the first night... she says something different. So I told him he needs to stand by her until the baby's born and take a paternity test to see for sure. He didn't take that well and said I'm on her side, and I'm not giving him good advice and making me feel like the bad sister. I feel like I'm stuck in the middle and they looking at me for an answer.

i don't know what to do anymore, i feel so incredibly fed up. i realize i'm not his parent, but his sister, so who am i for him to answer to, right?

my parents though don't know about any of the things he does. he is not a bad person, but he just doesn't care about school--high school. he is soo concerned about his appearance, constantly having a gf, being popular, and every aspect of his social life. he stays after school everyday to hang out even more with his friends...then he comes home and goes on aim to talk even more with his friends. i've talked with his teachers and they tell me that he's doing poorly in his classes. i've tried to talk to him so many times, tried to explain to him in different ways how important it is for him to do well in school. he hears me, but it's in one ear and out the other. before i used to control what he does on the internet by blocking aim and blog sites, and only let him do that on the weekends, then he found other ways to get around

I'm 23 and recently left a job to seriously consider what i want to do in life and take some time out. I have a whole stash of money i saved while i was working and i'm using that to do a bit of travel for 3 weeks in Nov. I thought i would do it while i have the time, money and little commitment.
Even though i have already paid for my trip myself, my dad gave me a card last night telling me how proud he was with a cheque for $5000!!
Now i absolutely refuse to take money from my parents, no matter how much i'm struggling, I'm at the age where i feel i should be independant. I feel really ashamed that i'm even still at home. But my dad constantly tries to shove money and 'support' down my throat, everything from buying me an apartment to trying to pay me things i can easily afford!
It is tempting to take the money but i will feel so guilty and 'bludgey'. Everyone is saying i should let him help just this once, as it would make him happy. I feel tempted but bad for having it easy..

I want the freedom that is associated with college and that others who live away from home get to experience. The only problem is that is i leave i know it will be on bad terms.

Last nite while getting out of the bathtub, I fainted and fell really hard. I have a podium bath and scratched all my leg (it looks more like a burn than a scratch)
I've had 2 pulmonary embolisms (Febuary and May) and I had to take blood thinning meds since then. The dosage wasn't right so suddenly I suffer from anemia (my red blood cell count is only 65 should be 120).
My daughter knows I have anemia and she's been helping me alot. By the way, she's 18. She worries alot and I only told my husband I had fainted he wants me to tell my daughter, but I'm afraid it's going to upset her even more.

Should I tell her or not?
