Family - November 2007

Well, my mom is 4 months pregnant. My parents and I all have a very close relationship--but ever since I found out about the pregnancy, it seems that my mom and I are kinda distant from each other. On top of that, my dad and I never do the things we used to do (like hiking and cycling), because he’s to busy tending to my mom. Don’t get me wrong, I’m overly happy for them and I can’t wait for a baby brother or sister (I’m an only child for now), but it seems like my relationship with my parents is on hold. What can I do to be more involved with my mom, dad and the pregnancy? She keeps asking me to come with her to the doctor’s office so I can be with her and see an ultrasound of the baby. Do you think going with her to the doctor’s office would be a good start in involving myself with my parents and the pregnancy?

I found out that my sister drove home drunk last night in our mom's car, and it's not the first time she's done it. She lies constantly to our parents and to me, is manipulative and does not seem to care about how her actions affect anyone in our family. She does drugs and lies about it, and she also smokes in our mom's car even though she has been told repeatedly not to. She lies to our mom about that as well. I don't know what to do about her. The fact that she's taking our parents' trust for granted is sickening to me, and even more disturbing is the fact that she's driving home drunk. When I asked her about it today, her response was, "I wasn't that drunk". She's an idiot. I'm fed up with her. She's 19 years old and needs to grow up. What should I do?

Im 13 & Im a resposible girl. My Parents refuse to let me go out with my friends unless therez "parental supervision". And sometimes they wont let me go even if there iz parental supervision! I love them to death, but they just wont reason with me. Everytime I try to talk to them about it we end up fighting & screaming. I kno their intentions are good but I think thtat Im mature enough to go out on my own & make my own mistakes & learn from them in order to be more prepared 4 the "real world". I'm sick of being the only 1 of my friendz that cant go on the weekends & has 2 be locked up between 4 walls bored all day! Please help

My mother took my nephew and niece out skating with her girl scout troop. However, when they arrived he wasnot allowed in because no "tag alongs" were permitted, it was "Girl Scouts Only" permitted that night, they rented the place out, which my mother wasnt aware of. So she was going to leave my niece there with her friends and troop and take my nephew out to that game room/pizza parlor Chuck E Cheese. he LOVES Chuck E Cheese so this seemed a reasonable alternative to her.
However, my nephew proceeded to put his hands to his head, shaking his head, SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. Inconsolable. My mother had to drag him out of the skating facility. Once in the car he carried on a while more, then my mom talked to him about how inappropriate his behavior was, embarassing etc etc. Later his mother wasnt upset with him. She said "well he DOES like skating". Said my mom shldnt have taken him on the wrong night. HUH?? Am I crazy? He acts this way and is never his fault.
Advice?

I'm nearly sixteen and I'm still sharing a bedroom with my sister who is a year younger than me. I feel like this is imparing on my life and I'm unsure whether this is a "healthy" thing for an adolesent to be still doing. I've shared a bedroom with my sister since she was born and it looks like I'll only have my own bedroom when I'm twenty and leave home... I even have my doubts then! We are moving house... or looking for a home to move to and the only request I have made is to have my own bedroom, but they seam to only be looking at three-five bedroomed houses. (We, unfortunately, are a family of NINE people and I don't think four bedrooms will be enough for anyone to not have to have their own and it's always my brother who has his own bedroom... he is also younger than me!)

So... Is it healthy to be sleeping in the same room as my sister, at the age of 16?

Ok so here's the story and question....

I was with my girlfriend almost 5 years....we loved each other very much....we did have some fights and arguments.
I wasn't perfect, I did say mean things sometimes or do things but I have OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Not all of it, but most of it was caused by my problems, I have been getting help and working on myself for the last
year and a half and been getting better. I regularly go to my therapist and psychiatrist and take my meds as prescribed.
I have gotten better. She left me 3 months ago because she said she didn't like the way I treated her. She is the type
that wants a "fairytale" relationship. Everyone has told her including her parents that she won't get that with anyone.
She also expects no fights or arguments. Well anyways she told me for the first two months after she left...that she
still wanted to be with me, she loves me, misses me, wants to know I'm serious about us, etc. Then two weeks after
that go by and she doesn't say much to me....well I texted her a lot but it was because when I tried to give her space
before by not texting as much, she would text me and say why are you ignoring me or I don't think you're serious about
this...and then when I did she didn't want me to text or wouldn't text me back most of the time.

my father is 71 and obese.
My mama thinks he will die anytime

She suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and has been a violent, hot-tempered person most of my life. In recent years, after having major psychotic breakdowns, she got nicer while on the meds. She is starting to go off them again and getting crankier.

She basically said when papa dies, if I don't move in with her, she will commit suicide. I told her I can't live with her b/c of the bad past. I still see a shrink to get over the crap I went through with her.
I take her suicidal words serious b/c her brother and my half-brother both followed through.

I've tried to talk her into a nice retirement community, since she has decent money, and she could be around others, but she doesn't seem interested.

My shrink told me throw her in a home for the insane. She met my mama and my mama treated the shrink pretty bad.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Ive been dating a girl for about a year. She is sweet, meek and extremely shy. We were discussing child abuse a week ago and I could tell it was hitting a nerve with her. I pressed for more information and I learned that between 3 and 12 her dad would come in her room and rape her. Ive met her dad, and he really is kind of creepy, I can put everything in perspective now. He is like a walking skeleton, mising teeth, no emotions, always retreating into her families basement etc. She also told me that at 20 ( we are in mid 30s ) she gave up a child for adoption and has another child from a marriage that was a complete joke. The guy didnt work, was emotionally and physically abusive, still doesnt pay her a dime although she fights to no avail to make him conform etc. The truth is in the past I would have pressed the eject button and left as soon as I heard all of this. I pray about it and god tells me to stick around, show compassion and be at her side. It all feels really unusual

I divorced my ex amicably 2 yrs ago. We lived 1 mile from each other, and I didn't fight for primary custody, we went for joint. All good, right? Well, I moved back in with my parents 18 months ago, and my ex and his new wife and kids moved to the opposite coast. My father and my brother have criticized me repeatedly about not fighting for custody of my son.

This is painful for me. My mother was never any help in caregiving for my son, but my ex had a big family ready and willing to help. Not only was my mother not a help, but she put me through emotional abuse from 12 to about 15. Right around 15 I was old enough to tell her to screw off, lol......but when my son visited me over spring break, my mother called him an asshole, because he was playing with and therefore working up her dogs. He was not mean to the dogs, he was playing.

My father knows my mother is this way, but still holds it against ME that I don't want my son raised with her. And my bro doesn't get it.

he has visitation every weekend, usually he makes it but drops them off at his house and then goes on service calls all weekend. the kids see there dad if they go to work with him. my son wears contacts and his father hides them and only gives him one pair every 5th week. thats the norm for perfect conditions. well my son is an active 16 year old that, now, doesnt even want to go to dads, and several times has had to go several days without his contacts, if their riped or dirty, because mr. power trip is in control of his sons eyes. this is just one of many incidents.

Two years ago I moved back to my home town after being gone for 7 years. During this time being gone I missed out on 7 years of my 2 little 2nd cousin’s lives. They are 12 and 14; both boys . They have not had the best home life growing up, a lot of mental and physical abuse I’m told by them. I have alerted the parents that the kids are fed up and it will stop or they tell their school councilors. Well things have gotten better but over the last two years I have became somewhat more of a parent to these two boys than their own. Granted the mother brings every issue with them to me for insight and advice but I sometimes wonder if these boys are giving me the attention that should be rightfully given to their parents. Today the 12yr old made a card with a big heart on it for me. I was very flattered that he expresses his love for me, but it made me feel guilty because I know he has never made a gesture such as this with his mom or dad. I'm just starting to wonder if this is good or not?
