Family - October 2007

I'm 17 years old boy. I was just thinking about my family. I think I don't like them.

Well yeah basically they are my family so I don't hate them but I don't love them. My mom was really mean to me when I was little. She hit me. And My father is an alcoholic. My little brother..Well I kind of think that It's unfair that I'm the only one bit up by father after he drunk. But I can't hate my little brother It's not his fault. So I decided when I can take care of my own, I left the family and never calls again.

Lately My mom trying to make it up with me. She trying to be nice, say sorry about what she did.
But I don't feel good about it. It makes me uncomfortable. I wish that I can get over everything but...I just can't.

Is it weird that I don't wanna see my family after I left the house? Should I at least trying to make it up with my mom? (I don't want to try things with my dad.)

My younger brothers father was a great guy. Kind, generous, caring, and a great father to his children. Heck me my younger sister and older brother werent even his and he treated us like his own. Unfortunately he had to die at the age of 26 over 14 years ago. Why?? And just recently my aunts brother n law, who is a police officer, a great father, and a kind caring person, died in his patrol car yesterday at the age of 49? Why do they die and all the crazy dont give a **** about life people get to live on with their miserable lives. Its just not fair.....

I'm a stay at home mom, with 2 kids. I do some in-home service work,part time, but other than that...i'm at home taking care of things. I've been with my man for years, and yes...he is the father of both my children! LOL!
I've always felt that our relationship was good, but we argue a lot, over stupid things...mostly about our families, and money.
He's a good guy, but moody at times, and has a bad attitude. I know he is faithful, and so am I...but his attitude and remarks hurt!
Some people say that being at home, I have it easy, and am just spoiled...but that's not true. Like I said, I do part time work for IHSS, and with that, I pay for our truck payment, and insurance. I do all the cooking and cleaning, take care of the kids, and handle our bills. I even help his and my family out constantly, but nothing ever seems to be enough.
What should I do? I put him and my kids before me ALWAYS!!
What would you do in this situation?
P.S.
I really don't wanna leave...Help!

I'm a sophomore in college and I lived on campus last year, so I've already made friends and everything, which makes it hard to leave, but I live only about 30 minutes away, so I would still be able to commute to school.

I just got back with my ex and was wondering the best way to tell my sister that we got back together. My sister doesn't care very much for my boyfriend, lets just say he has given her reasons to feel this way. I don't blame her, I only hope she doesn't ignore me now that we're back together. This really tears me apart when she gives me the silent treatment. I've been pretty miserable the past few months, not to mention the fact that this whole breakup up has made me lose my appetite and interest in lots of things I normally would enjoy. I know my sister only wants the best for me, but she is taking this whole thing way overboard. Would someone please just give me some good honest advice as to how to best approach my sister with this?

My cousin has been diagnozed of the last stage of cancer in summer. It's been a long fight of what is inevitable, and now she is dying any day. I live across the world from them but I called her since the day that she got sick on more than a few occiasons. It's been hard.

I have never been in this situation before. What should I talk about to a person who is dying? I tell her how much I love her, I tell her to be strong. Should I talk about her leaving us? Or shouldn't I? But then she might think I don't know how serious her condition is.

Every single time I call, I am scared but I cannot be selfish and protect myself by not calling. It's not about me, it's about her. So I try to call her because I think it makes her happy because she knows that people care? But what should I say and what shouldn't I say? She is 17 years older than me and we don't have much in common. But I love her. She is my cousin, she is my blood.

My little sister is 15 years old. She wants to go to technical school instead of highschool. On the other hand, my parents want her to go to high school and college.

Today my father asked me to talk and convince my little sister to go to high school and college. I feel weird, but somehow I did. I believe she need college education to get a good job.

Are we doing the right thing? Should we allow a 15-years old pick her own paths?

Thank you

She will be 18 in 2 weeks and feels that she should be able to decide who she wants to date. The problem is, this boy was recently released from jail for breaking and entering, hasn't graduated and has no future as far as I can see. My daughter is a good girl, going to college and I hate for her to ruin her future by being with a loser like him. She says that since her father and I divorced and remarried, she feels she doesn't belong anywhere and this boy understands her. We have both given her everything and don't understand why she says she feels like this. I am going to take her to counseling to talk about the divorce, but for now, is it wrong of me to tell her she can not see this kid? She thinks I am unfair. She says he is different now and doesn't do bad things anymore. I just would like an opinion from someone neutral.

My mother has been homeless for a few years, jumping from place to place. 2 months will go by that I haven't heard form her, then she will call me with a sob story asking for money. I cannot let her stay with me, because she has proven herself untrustworthy and she hangs around people that I do not want knowing where I live. She provided me with a great childhood and i love her so much. I have helped her financially so much that I am now in major credit card debt and have been trying to unbury myself for a while now; I still have a ways to go. Shoud I continue to help her, all the while hurting myself or should I stand up and tell her that she needs to help herself first. The problem is, when I say no, I can't bear the thought of her on the streets and desperate for help.

Myself and my husband do not struggle financially. The problem is my parents know this and always ask us for money and to use our credit cards for purchases on the internet. I have never said no to my parents, therefore i have created a big problem. My dad called the other day asking to charge 300.00 dollars to my credit card and supposedly my mom would pay me back. My mother has never paid me back a dime for anything. I flat out refused my dad and I haven't heard from them since it's been 2 days. Did I do the right thing and how do I get myself out of being used for a bank?

It's the deal with my mama. I'm 27 and she still wants to give me advice. I'm sick of being stuck on stupid because of her. I want to get a good job, get a car of my own, and move out. She is so cowardly she told me that I'm wasting my time going to college, in which I'm taking online.
I've recovered from my sickness of epilepsy. She tells me that I'd be a fool if I get cut of from getting a disability check, but that little money isn't enough. She says that I'm stingy with my money because I'm saving it for myself and not giving some to her and my sis, but I be straight up and say "I don't have a job and I'm saving it for my future". I want to put my foot down. She's like no other mama, weird. She tells me what I could do to make money and puts me down at the same time. I need to get my space. Instead of being encouraging, she puts me down.
My man advises me to stop letting her talk me out of my dreams. He's the most encouraging man I've ever had.

likes to fight with me and sometimes to everyone. Not with my parents though. She gets annoyed when I ask her how her day was when shes mad or not in a good mood at all. She tells me that I’m annoying and that I don’t stop asking her how her day was. I simply tell her, “You don’t have to answer. You can just ignore me and not say something back when you know I’ll respond.” When shes mad, I ask her, “Whats wrong?” Of course she says, “Nothing.” She thinks she can fool me, but I know the way she gets when she’s annoyed, pissed off, etc…She also likes to pick fights over the littlest things. About 2 days ago, I told her that my classmates where talking sh!t about Avril Lavine and she snaps her fingers and starts saying these stuff. I usually call her “immature freshman” becuz she acts immature, stubborn, and conceited. Shes gotten the knack on flipping her hair at someone’s face with her head held high.I try telling her that once she gets into high school, shes going to have problems.

I hate school. I never want to go there. I havent gone for 5 days, but it's not just because I don't want to go there, it's because I'm sick. I'm always scared to go there; I'm scared of what people will say to me, about me, whatever. I just really don't want to know. But all of my friends freak out on me because I miss days of school. I missed alot in 6th grade! And I will NEVER do that again, but I'm still scared to death that child services will come, don't say that they won't cuz my mom works for the local sheriffs office. I feel so bad because my mom leaves our house crying when i stay home. The point is, I need something to look forward to for me and my mom to live better.....can you help?

I moved away from my friends, my family and my beautiful hometown that I was born in. Now I have been here for 4 years, going on 5. The school I go to here is good, and there are SOOOOO many traveling opportunities. I get to go home every summer to see everyone, but all I want more than anything is to finish High School there. Right now I am in grade nine. My mom says that we can't move back because she wouldn't have a job there, and the job here she absolutly LOVES. Everytime I bring up the subject of home she gets mad at me and goes into this 'we have to enjoy things at the moment and be happy' thing. and... I do enjoy things I just want to be home- like I"m dying to be and I think I've lived in this country long enough- and may I add it is a Muslim country. Two years ago I convinced her in a mother's day card to let me go back home for the remainder of the year by telling her how I felt. But now she kind of regrets letting me go back. How can I convince her!?????? HELP!!!!!

I have always been the "perfect" child compared to my sisters. My dad got remarried when I was 8 so I have lived my stepmom for the last 11 years. My mom does not have a dominant role in my life and my dad is very passive. My stepmom will yell at me about anything and my dad will just sit there and not say a word. She drove my two sisters out of the house already. They were considered "problem" children and she told my dad if they didnt go she would cuz she wasnt going to put up with them. They now live with grandparents. I am all my dad has left at the house when im not away at school. Why won't he stick up for his own children? I dont understand why he would let my sisters leave and keep her? I feel like she is trying to get me out of the house to. Ive been really depressed about this and dont know what to do :(

My son is a skater and grew his hair pretty long and bushy over the past 2 years. He decided to get it cut, it looks different, kinda like drake bells, maybe longer. anyway we are eating dinner last night and my husband just comes out and tells my son matter of factly, "I dont like your haircut". You could tell it hurt my son's feelings (he's almost 13) I usually tell people I dont like it if there is something wrong with it,(cut crooked or something) not just because it is my opinion. I just thought it was rude and wondered if you would tell him bluntly you hate his hair or if you would keep your opinion to yourself!?

I want to stay up all night so I did tonight. My brother keeps on coming and arguing with me, he keeps on saying, "Go to sleep".

I'm 18 years, he's 21, we are almost the same age, he acts like he's my dad since dad died a long time ago.

I keep on telling him to leave me alone and let me watch the tv, he keeps on arguing with me until mom waked up and yelled at me.

How to handle this brother?

Here the problem. They humilliated, mistreated, insulted...etc, my husband for years (before I meet him), but they are this kind of people that don't apology, NEVER! My husband worked since he was 15 until now (he's 25). All the money he earned (before i meet him) all the money went to his mother, he even had the same clothes that he had at 16 (i'm telling the truth, i brought him new clothes) he had the same clothes bcz all the money went to his mother. They (step father, all cousins and brothers, not the mother) called him idiot, retarded (my husband is the only one in his family with university), and so on. Now, his sister comes every month just to bring things that he left in his mother house. We told her to not come, but she still came. My husband don't speak with any of them, so his mother keeps calling my mother asking y he is acting different, and telling my mother that i'm responsible fot that. How I can keep them away? I dont want to call the police, but i'm getting frustrate

my partner of 4 yrs & I have been on a break since May. His dad died after a long illness & he needed time alone to get to grips with things.
We have been spending more & more time together lately & things seemed to be returning to "normal". He scattered his dads ashes & said he felt much better. During our time together he held my hand whilst we watched a film & lounged on me- kind of used my leg as a cushion! However, we didnt kiss or anything. I didnt mind as it was nice to return to the 1st flush of dating but now he has backed off again. After asking me round to watch films or hang out he now doesnt seem to want me to at all.
I wonder if he thought that after scattering the ashes everything would be fine but its still not bought his lovely dad back.
I miss him terribly & desparately want him back, but more than that I want to support & help him. Having never lost a parent its hard to understand.
I am 29 & he is 34 (his dad was his only parent- his mum has been absent for yrs)
