Family - November 2007

does your spouse or parents ever cook the same thing repeatedly, i mean like every week. it seems like we have spaghetti w/ garlic bread once a week and baked steak w/ mashed potates and green beans. i try to mix it up but she usually goes for something easy.

I thought my mom had just met this guy in September. Turns out they met in Frebuary and my mom got pregnat in March! I knew she was pregnat but she only told me she was two months along last month! I had noticed she was gaining weight over the past 7 months before she told me, but didn't make a big thing out of it. Today she called me and said that she was going into labor! I rushed to the hospital and luckily it was just a faulse alarm. The real due date of the baby is December 7th. How can I ever trust my mom again?

do not hate my mother. I have worked through my feelings of anger and it took me a loooong time. A decade !!!! 1/3 of my life. I just want her to LEAVE me in peace for the rest of my life !!!
She was spoiled growing up and that coupled with an accident that made her nuts crushed spine from riding accident on lower spine screwed up her brain.
A complete spoiled rotten golden girl.
private schools, debutante, ivy league, summers in cannes at the Ritz, triumph sports cars, horses.
Everything in the world revolved around her.
Her parents were in denial and looked away while she raised me.
I'd tell them she hit me and they would say she was having a bad day.
She home schooled me and it was basically like being an indentured servent.
I am fortunate that the parts of her that were educated and brilliant rubbed off on me.
Finally after years being basically a prisoner in her basement she tried to kill me.
I fled home with the help of an online BF. (this was at the birth of online networking -1995)
I felt like I was a lot younger and started my life OVER.
I created a new me.
Younger age (yeah i lie about it and NEVER feel bad because i was robbed of many years of freedom) and changed my name because my mother tried to track me. She somehow firgured that out too
(crazy and genius = evil mix)
Looking back I really should have put her in jail and also sued her estate.
Instead I just moved on and worked my butt off to be on my own.
She still tries to track me down and it gets exhausting.
She just inherited money and uses it to find me.
She left 18 messages on my cell phone yesterday.
My private cell phone.
sigh.....
Long rambling messages that Im defective and judas and I ruined her life and she hopes I DONT enjoy thanksgiving.

My boyfriend and I attend the same university, and I'm currently in my second year, while he's in his third. This year, I live in a great apartment with a good friend of mine from school, but the rent is just too much! My boyfriend lives at home currently, but plans to move out next year. We've talked about it, and decided it would be a smart financially, and for our relationship, to get an apartment together. We've been together for a month shy of a year now, and by the time we actually move out, it will be almost 2 years (next September) I'm worried about bringing this up with my parents. His older brother moved out at 21 with his girlfriend, so his will not be an issue. Being the oldest, I'm not sure how to broach the subject with my parents without freaking them out too much! I know it's a smart decision, and my boyfriend and I essentially live together on weekends already, but I'm not sure how they will see it. Is 20 too young to live with a boyfriend? How do I talk to my parents?

I recently spent 2 months in Japan for my job as part of training for management so that I could be promoted in the future.
However, I had this trip of a lifetime and my wife does not want to hear about it since I got back(She read stuff on the net and thought she knew it all, but did not go there) I learned a lot and great experiences there. Also my i-laws could care less and my side of the family also does not care. they do want to see photos or anything, they said they are too busy to care.

But if any of them went there, I would want to hear their stories.
Anyways, why is my family not happy for my success?

I am trying to get my family together for the 1st time in over 10 yrs. I have many brothers and sisters and our life was not very happy growing up. Our dad was a religious fanatic and our mother was just downright mean and unhappy.
My parents probably should have stopped at a couple of kids rather then have all of us.
My brother was abused mentally and physically by our dad.
His wife always wants to discuss his life with us and I dont feel like its an appropriate subject matter for the holidays.
He has so many problems one of them is drinking and he knows it, but I think he needs to come to our family gathering to make peace and get closure since our parents have died.
None of us really hate each other. It always comes down to how crazy our parents were.
I have asked everyone to come and so far, several have said yes. Now do you think things will just blend in together or will we all be uncomfortable. I am really nervous about this?

i'm supposed to go on a basic backpacking trip with 5 other friends this weekend in South Carolina on the Appalachan Trails. My mom is thinking about not letting me go because I might "fall off a cliff" or "a wackjob might follow us during the day then kill the boys and rape the girls". I need some logical reason on why I should be able to go, (i have never been on a trip like this before). I've already told her I've never been able to do something like this, and the fact that Im going to be with a guy who has been a boy scout for 15 years.

I swear my parents are the most dramatic, most anxious people i have ever seen. I'm 21 years old, so this isn't a 14 year old wanting to stay out late but their parents want them home by midnight sort of thing.

My parents just blow everything about of proportion. It is all drama and it is all about things that don't matter. Like my brother will be at a bar with his friends and won't answer his cell phone, so they will freak out about it or the neighbors will give my mom a weird look, so they will sit around for an hour talking about it. They are insane and their insanity plays off each other.

This is not just misplaced concern about certain things, this is chaotic, all over the place, nearly daily occurrence total nonsense. Does anyone else have to deal with this?

We are planning on getting married nxt yr before he deploys to korea next yr. Before we get married he wants me to meet his parents and family. The only time we have to go back is during christmas. I live with my mom and with me leaving she will be left alone on christmas. I have 2 older brothers and 1 sister but they really never come visit on holidays they might call but thats it. I'm feeling really guilty for leaving her and we had planned to take her with us but we will be staying with his mom and I myself really dont even know what to expect from his family. I told my mom the other day that I felt bad leaving her behind and it would make it easier if my siblings would come visit her. But her answer was that they are married and have things to do and he is only you b/f but you can go and have a good time I don't have a problem been here alone. She made me feel really bad. I feel Im been selfish. Has anyone been in this situation before? Please need advice

My family knows my feelings get hurt easily, & they do everything in their power to hurt me. When I let them know they hurt my feelings, they call me selfish & say that all I do is think about myself. They make up so many dangerous lies that it's not even funny. My own twin sister is the worst. She invited me over to her house one time & then kicked me out because she wanted my money & I don't have any. I make $643/month when she makes $37,000/yr. Why does she still need my money? Then, she made up a lie on me because I didn't have any money to give her. She lied to my brother, saying that I looked @ her baby like I wanted to do oral sex on him, & she falsely accused me of molesting her daughter & trying to murder her when she was born. She also strongly convinced the whole family not to trust to tell me anything. I've never heard of adults with so many secrets because they're up to no good. It hurts that I have to accept the fact that I have to delete my family out of my life.

My wife had our son-in-law arrested when he was 23 years old for sleeping with our daughter when she was 15 years old. He was convicted and sentenced to jail for 6 months.

He is now married to our daughter, and my wife has gotten over for what he has done. I disagree with my wife. He is now 27 years old, unemployed and is probably selling drugs. Should I try to get along with him and allow him to celebrate the holidays with us. I don't think so. And even if I did, I don't think it would set a good example for our other 2 daughters. That would be saying we will accept them for who they are, regardless of who they are with and who they will marry.

We still communicate with our daughter, who is now pregnant, and tell her we are still there for her, but I never want her husband anywhere near our house.

So should I continue to not allow our son-in-law to be a part of our lives, or should I let it go and accept him for who he is?

So since 10/31 I have not given her nothing while the process of child support goes through the Agency. Now we have to take a paternity test, because my name was not on the birth certificate and we were never married. I mean I am 50/50 that the boy is mine, I took care of him before, because I felt the moral part. I did have sex with his mother unprotective, so if could be mines. Now the process has not even gotten to the paternity test part and now christmas is coming, Now my parents advised me to give her nothing until the results of the paternity test comes. Now I am not going to lie, the relationship between the mother and me is very bad, especially since I got engaged. But something in me is having this gulity feeling that I should be given her something, but also I would be pissed if I am taking care of a kid that is not mine. So what should I do? The boy is 1 years old
