Family - October 2007

im 16 and just lost my grandmother on monday afternoon. thing is, i just can't get her out of my mind, ive gotten no sleep at all these past few nights because of it and im having a hard time in school. thing is, is that i never met my grandfather, he died at aged 57 because of lung cancer. but like i saw my grandma a lot and stuff but lately in the past few months shes been having a few life threatning problems and was put in the hospital and i was mad b/c she took up our own familys time. she was in the hospital for 1 month, the last time i saw her like conscious was a month ago, last time i talked and said goodby to her conscious was a month and 1 week, on sunday night i saw her in her hospital bed. she couldnt talk or see, only hear. i said goodbye to her around 10pm that night and on monday 3pm she passed away. i couldnt believe it. i mean my dads parents are nice and i would mourn for them if they died. but my moms mom did so much. i didnt even have a chance to say goodbye to her

Ok, my dad is always stressed since my brother is always screwing up and his job stinks so he always takes it out on me. He always yells at me if i do one little thing wrong like dont put something back in the right place and he always tells me to f**k off. I always end up going somewhere else and crying. Is there anything I can do to make this stop!?

This is going to seem a little long but read and please help me I'm feeling sorta "down in the dumps".

Ok well my parents are divorced and my dad got a job offer in India. He will make good money and will get to travel the world (they go to a new place every year). So my dad is leaving and my mom got a job offer in Fort McMurray (a 20 hour drive from where I live) so now I'm stuck without a mom or dad to turn to. My mom has left already and my dad's leaving at the end of the month. I live with my mom so she hired a nanny (not MY nanny but A nanny). She's great and I really like her but today her and my bro had some miscommunacations (I hope I spelled that right) and my 9 year old bro ended up "being lost". I knew where he was because he came to my field hockey game. I feel really guilty now because Sara (my nanny, who is only 19) was so worried she almost called the cops, she had the principle and his best friends parents looking for him. Now my bro wants to fire Sara.

so i have been having stomach pains. today they were acting up after eating some junk food after school so when my parents called me to dinner i said i wasnt hungry. my dad threw a fit and made me go eat. i had one bite of chicken and a few peas and my stomach was killing me because of that. i asked if i could leave yet and my mom made a huge deal about family dinner. she never has before and i was kinda rude and said, "when will we stop having these dumb 'family diners'" i know it was rude but i felt horrible. i seriously couldnt eat and they made me and didnt listen when i tried to explain.

well i went upstairs to cool down and try to keep from feeling bad when i heard my dad yell at my mom telling her i am annorexic. i am not now nor ever will be annorexic and it hurts me to think he thinks that. i mean i didnt feel good and i havent been eating dinner lately because at night i get stomach ahces. my parents dont believe me when i tell them this.

Every day i end up getting punched or slapped and sometimes its drastic like he threw a phone at the back of my head with all of his force, and, one time he beat me on the back and couldn't stand up straight and when anyone came up behind me i would flinch. he threatens me with a belt almost every day and scares me half to death. sometimes when im eating or something and i put the trash on the table he just sais "no" in this really mean tone and i know what to do. i always obey him and he has me in complete command. ive tried to stand up to him but he is stronger than me and i always back down. i am so scared. i want to be in control. im 13 and he is only 12 so how is he always in charge? i want to controll him but i am to scared to threaten him and if i hurt him i get in trouble because he exadurates,and when he hurts me i scream in horror getting me in even more trouble. if he saw me writeing this i would be knocked out. id better go but please tell me what to do!! i need help!

We found out he is addicted to pain pills and he has gone crazy, he threatened my daughters life and my grandaughters lives, then he tried to hang himself. At the moment he is in the mental hospital, and they will be sending him to the detox place pretty soon. My problem is that my daughter is now left trying to take care of the house and kids and make all the payments on everything. Not to mention the mental hospital is wanting big bucks from them since they do not have insurance. My question is - Is there any government agencies that will give her money to help with the bills while her husband is away?
I know this is probably not the right category to post this in, but maybe someone can help anyway.

My school is going on a trip to London, Paris and Madrid.
It costs 500 for a deposit, and the trip is 2,000.
I help a lot with the house and cleaning, and just being a good kid. My mom laughed when i asked which made me feel bad. I don't ask for extra money or anything. I offered to be a cafetreria lady at my school so my dad didn't have to pay for my lunch. Then i filled out my job applications to show how much i want to go. If i had to i would pay them back. They don't really want to talk about it but it is a once ina life time chance and my best friend is going and it would be cool to go together. i am not spoiled.. please what can ido??
Thanks!!!!

My son, whom I dearly love, has been discharged from the Navy.

It's an "Other than Honorable" discharge, and I can't help feeling ashamed. I don't know how to handle this at all, I don't want to tell anyone, but this is a small town and it wont take long before everyone knows. Not only am I ashamed of my son, I am ashamed of myself for feeling this way.

He kept doing stupid things, like missing class, or messy room, nothing criminal, just stupid.

People are gonna look down at him, he's gonna be judged and questioned, oh it looks bleak.

How can I help him and myself, not to mention his dad.

Thanks

Okay, I have this friend and her mom claims to be a Christian. They go to Church a few times a week and seem pretty normal, but I've noticed something weird they've been doing lately...
They used to have this VERY sweet dog a few years ago, and they put her to sleep. When I asked why, I found out that the daughter was pulling on the dogs ears and hitting her in the face (basically, being obnoxious). They dog kept growling but she still wouldn't stop, so he snapped at her.
Now, I saw her after this happened, and she didn't even have a red MARK on her face from the "bite"! Nothing! And they put her to sleep. And I babysit their daughter, I know she's a drama queen. If you blow on her, she'll start crying and say you broke her leg!
Also, last year they put their cat to sleep because it peed in their bed. They didn't even try to put it up for adoption or see if anyone would want it. They just immediatly put it to sleep.

My sister has lost a lot of weight and she keeps losing it. My mom and her went to the doctor and the doctor said she should go to a counselor. My dad is really nosy but he doesnt live with us and my sister never listens to him because he thinks he's just being a fake dad, so when he heard about it, he just gave her a lecture and that just made my sister more mad. My mom said something about her eating healthier and now she wont listen to my mom. She talks to me about it, but i dont want her to stop talking to me because then nobody will no whats going on. I have no idea what to say to her and I dont know if I should tell my parents because they will just say that i told them things to her and she wont want to talke to me. I know this sounds really bazarre, but if you have any advice, please answer because Im really confused. I know I should just tell my parents, but I dont know exactly how theyd handle it and I dont want to make it worse for my sister because she might get really sick

me and my husband belong to different religions. and we are soon expecting a child.
my husband is a good person, and i love him for what he is. i have never attempted to make him convert to my religion and i dont wish to.
but the same cannot be said about him and he grabs every oppurtunity to preach me about it. he is very passionate about it to the point of shunning everyone who is against it including his parents and siblings. and he has made it very clear that when the baby comes he is gonna belong to his religion, not mine.
i dont really care what religion the baby is going to follow, but
my concern is, how can i carry on with this without letting our relationship be spoiled and what effect will this have on the baby ? is he going to be confused about things with me following one thing and his father another ?
thank you.

My son started Adderall XR and I changed it to regular adderall. He has been on this medication for about 10 months. I just recently found out that a lot of ADHD is because children are lacking B12 in their brain. I am considering trying it. I need advise. He takes Clonidine to make him sleep. And I am almost positive that his dad takes his adderall. I get him back after his weekend and he can not sit still. He is calling me names and hitting me. I ask him if he got his meds this weekend he almost always says no. I can just tell that he hasn't had his meds. My ex-husband says that its all in Drakes head and that he don't need them. So, if you were me would you try the B12 instead of adderall? I really dont want him on meds anyway. The teachers always tell my that they know if he has had his meds or not.
