My boyfriend's mom seems as if she doesn't like me. The first couple of years she seemed as if she did, but now I feel like she can't stand me. Her jokes hurt my feelings but she says she is playing. When I call, she sounds as if she doesn't want me calling. When I come in the house she looks dissappointed and sometimes she doesn't speak to me. My boyfriend said she talks about me all the time and always talks about how much she likes me. When I had surgery she called me to check up on me. But she doesn't act like she likes me... I don't understand. Am I just being to sensitive?

I dont like my mom's boyfriend. We were going on a day trip with him this past weekend. She said she wasnt going to make his lunch he was going to make his own, but then she went and made him a lunch for the trip. Today I went to make a sandwich for lunch and there was no sandwich meat left. I asked her where it was and she said its gone because she had to make her boyfriends lunch too.

I said "I cant believe after you said you wouldnt you made him a lunch anyway, and now there's nothing left for me because you gave it all to him"

I know I was wrong for giving her an attitude like that but do you really think I deserved to have an Extra Large Ice Coffee thrown in my face?

it is this thursday and i have no idea, i am a boy and my parents don't know what to get me so they said choose whatever i want as long as it is in the price range....so i am guessing like $200 - $300AU
dad is taking me for my L's as well, but he said that is just something he wants to pay for and it doesn't come out of that money.
so i dunno what i want
i don't want a gift-card or clothes (already have heaps) or the money (i will spend it on sh*t)
and i already got an iPod and the xbox/playstation games i want, and i did my bike up just last week so that is a no aswell, and i don't really skate...so yeah i am out of ideas.

any ideas???

(i personally just would be happy for my ex-girlfriend to say she still loves me or something like that, that won't happen so yeah, looks like it has to be a possesion lol)

for the last 4 years, i've been so conflicted about whether to contact my dad. i was the last one in the family to still be in touch with him. everyone else given up, but i felt he would be more of a jerk if no one tried to deal with him. i thought he'd appreciate my faith in him, despite all the wrong things he's done to us all over the years (he was abusive and neglectful... but he also was so stoned on pot that he really thought it was everyone else that was wrong; pretty much paranoid, narcassitic, and a con-man).
i never expected magic from him, just kindness to his daughter. but finally i realized that if it were in his interest, he'd rip me off too, and that while i was a kid, he was never really there for me (in addition to the hitting and emotional abuse). i wrote him to not contact me until he felt like trying to be good to me.
now i have bad relationships with men, look to others to fill his role, and am worried he may die before i can be ready to contact him again.

I've been in adv. drama the past term, I haven't enjoyed it at all, I've just been hanging in. I'm ready to transfer out, it's just not worth it. My mom is so mad at me, every time I talk to her about it, she says "I really wish you'd stay in. It's good for you" But I just hate that class. I hate the teacher and I have no friends in that class. How do I get my mom to see it like I do?

To make a long story short, I became homeless overnight after my husband left me. Something I said would never happen to me. I moved from place to place with strangers and decided to move in with my sister for a few days during that summer because it was like 200 degrees and I had been staying with my brother and he had no air conditioner. I thought her and I were close because she had been having problems in her marriage and my husband (now ex) had let her go out with us and we involved her in a lot of the things that we did. Anyway, when I moved into her house she treated me like a complete stranger. I was absolutely stunned. She never offered me any food, wouldn't talk to me, was snappy toward me and etc. It was clear she didn't want me there. I was so hurt. It has been over 4 yrs. that this happened and I have remarried and am happy now. I can't get over how she did me. I feel bitter toward her and sometimes hate her. She acts as if nothing ever happened. How can I get past this?

My parents went bankrupt on $145,000 less than ten years ago, and they're working their way back up to that again. They've just bought a house, and two brand new cars. My dad only makes about $17/hour and my mom about $15/hour. They have several credit cards, probably maxed and they just spend and spend without EVER saving a dime. If they have an extra $200 one week, they think it's just extra spending money, and don't save or invest a dime. When my mom bought the last car, I told her that I was worried because she and my dad are pushing 50 and haven't a penny saved, and she said that all she cares about is making the monthly payments and she doesn't worry about saving because "she won't be here forever and she assumes that one of us (her 4 kids) can handle it when they're gone"!!! I can't believe that. So basically, she's living the high life and racking up all this debt expecting US to deal with this later. My husband and I are only 25 and have a baby, I don't want to have to pay off

My mom and my dad have been split for a long time. (Since I was 3) I have lived with my dad during the school year, and my mom in the summer ever since. My dad has always been an alcoholic, but it got even worse after he divorced my stepmother (a terrible woman). We moved into a house, just the 2 of us. He was never home. I was 15, and alone 24/7. Scared and alone. 1 night he had a little too much to drink that took his feelings out on me. My school pricipal called the police and ect. Now i live with my mom, and never speak to my dad. Its been hard 4 me all my life, drug addicted mother, alcohol addicted father, a step mother who loved to put people down; still i have never done drugs and i manage to get straight A's in school, but i am so depressed, its unreal. I cry (alot) and do things.. i just feel so numb,sad, and angry all at the same time and i just don't know what to do..my 16th birthday is wed and i feel so alone,i would rather have advice from complete strangers than friends

I had a horrible childhood growing up as well as my 4 other siblings. Our mother was not the greatest parent to say the least. All of us grew up with our own problems (still in counseling) because of the lack of emotional support and parenting we received.
My mother has not changed. She is the same person now as she was then. She is even a horrible grandparent!
Yet everyone in my family has no guts to say anything to her.
I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't get out my feelings. I want to tell her the straight and honest truth about what she has done to all of us and what she is still doing.
I know that she will never change. But, it is something I need to do for myself.
In situations like this, when you know that a person will not change, do you still let them know how you feel? Or do you just let it out in another way and leave the past alone?
I think that one day I won't have the chance to tell her how she hurt us and then I will have it on my shoulders. What would you do? TY

It's my mom's birthday on Wednesday, but she and I just got in an
argument and I don't think I can say "happy birthday" to her or give her her gosh darn gift. I feel like just opening her door and shoving the gift in her face and going "happy fkn birthday". Should i just leave her gift on her bed after she goes to work and not say happy birthday to her, or should i just keep the gift for myself?
I feel really bad, but i really dislike her at the moment.
I put a lot of thought and I used my allowance money to buy her something she'd really like, but I don't want to see her happy. Should i give it away to someone else?

when she died. I remember her making popcorn for us when we were kids, always with this pan, and popping corn for popcorn balls at Christmas time. I treasure that pan, though it's probably worth almost nothing.

Is there something given to you with very little value, but you cherish it because of the memories?

The back end of the car hydroplayened and I couldn't gain control again. then it went off the road(where it was a drop off) and bounced and fliped around and bounced again and hit a tree. The car isen't all that bad just the passenger door and part of the front. I thought it was going to be a whole lot worse. I called my mom and she started screaming at me about how stupid I am and how I can't drive in the rain. Luckly my dad drove by about a min after it happened and got out and helped me. When my mom got there I was already crying and really shaken up but she didn't care she treated me like I was 2 and started screaming at me infront of everyone. When we got home my dad was telling me its ok and stuff and my mom was screaming about how I tried to kill someone because I hate my life and about how if I wasen't speeding it wouldn't of happened.She blames everything on thinking that i am suidical and depressed if you knew me you would know I am probably the fartherest thing from it.

Does your family have a right to know about your health taking a turn for the worse so to speak, even if you are not close? I do not need or want their pity or insincere words... so is it ok to just not tell them what the doctors have found?

I'm 22 and 8 weeks pregnant with my first child by my boyfriend. He has two children from a previous marriage. When he found out I was pregnant he was livid. (It wasn't planned, I was on birth control for a reason.) He almost convinced me to have an abortion but I couldn't do it. Since we found out he has not been supportive at all and has acted very cold and distant from me. So, I told him that since he has no interest in this child whatsoever that I was offering him a deal: I will move out and when the baby is born I will send him papers to terminate his parental rights. He can forget all about me and he can move on with his life and he won't have any responsibility. I want this baby, so I'll raise it. I'm not going to ask for child supprt. I don't my baby feeling like an obligation nor do I want this baby to feel resented because his/her Father didn't want it. My Father thinks I've lost my mind that I should force him to be responsible, What do you think?

Now who sounds like the bad person. My mother and I havent been getting along for awhile. When she was with her previous boyfriend, she took care of his son. So all four of us lived together. I stayed away because my mom seemed to care about them more than me. My mom's bf hit her one day. I called the cops and he left. The next day i found out she was still going to take care of his son, who hardly bothered to even say hi to me at times when we lived together, and I said i was leaving. I left to live with a family member and my mom told me that his son was only there. Later after I found out that the bf and his son were there. I was angry and my mom and I haven't got along since. They moved out just b4 school started, and my mom kept delaying when I was able to come home. I came home the day b4 school started and they are out of the house. Now thats its my mother and I, Im often here alone, there barely any food in the house, and everytime we argue she threatens to make me leave.
