Family - November 2007

my dad died in march. i was in the car with him when he had a sudden heart attack and just stopped moving, it was the scariest moment of my life, and i have PTSD after that happened. Im fourteen, and I was his best friend and he was mine. Now that he is gone i feel like i have no family member that could ever amount to him. and its so hard to feel comfortable at home. i don't know what to do, i miss him soo much. My mom makes no effort to make me feel the least bit happy even though she knows i lost the most important person in my life. She treats me like ****.

I Love my 4 Year Old Nephew BUT,?
I take care of him 3 days out of the month. Parents are not married and live far apart. As an aunt I take him to rests, parks, attractions, museums, eateries, and give him lots of love and attention when he is with me and my family. I also teach him morals, respect and all that. NOW, he lives with his mom. The last 4X my brother calls her place my neph, refuses to talk to me or just hangs up, whereas he always asked for me, and wanted to talk to me only. He is always by my side when we are together and always asks for me to go with him and no one else. When he throws a tantrum he tells me he hates, me never wants to see me again, will lock me up and throw away the key, and he says it with utmost anger and passion and has even hit me with brutal force, biting kicking so bad, like a barracuda. I have had to even run from him because he is powerful. I teach him and tell him not to do it, and give him time outs. PLEASE HELP ME. HE IS SO YOUNG AND GROWING COLD TOWARD hs, aunt who cares4 him

He acts all violent too. At his mother's house the mother works upstairs. And he is all alone downstairs watching video games and tv all by himself. At my home we are always with him, taking him places together. Could the games be influencing him at this age?

Scenario: Me and my bestfriend hav been friends since grade 6. Were now in grade 11. Lately shes been a bi-tch frankly. She "couldn't find me" at fireworks, she "thought it would be awkward" if I came to a Halloween party. I dont understand. She used to love me and she always wanted me to hang out with her. We go to different schools but somehow things arent working. Shes kind of a superficial person but I thought that by grade 11 the whole popularity thing was supposed to be dying down. Is she worth keeping? Or should she go in the bin?

I have a pain in the *** father who I recently sent to a nursing home. In my defense he was really annoying and needy so I decided to end my suffering. I sent him to a cost efficent nursing home. Anyways after I sent him to the nursing home I decided his house would not be much use to me. I sold it as well as the heirlooms inside. Since I made such a profit I decided to expand my own house. Since then people have been giving me dirty looks and my girlfriend won't shut up about it. How can I put it in perspective with everybody.

I'm 43 years old and all my life my parents have been very negative and chipped away at my self esteem. I have just had nine nights in hospital and they didn't even visit yet they have high expectations for me to visit them etc... My dad recently went on holiday and because I am currently single they asked me to stay with Mum - which I did. Two weeks later I'm in hospital and not so much as a phone call from them. This is just one example of many many similar events throughout my life.

I feel that I need to walk away from them. They are healthy but incredibly self centered and I feel so hurt whenever I contact them. Guilt alone is keeping me in contact. I want to start over without them so that I can have some sort of decent life. Do you think this is ok. (I have tried a million times to resolve things with them but they get very angry and abusive.)

Nobody makes fun of me or anything but I always finish my homework and classwork during class with like 25 minutes left of class. It gets very boring and sometimes get in trouble and people are always asking for my help and worst of all some famous private school is accepting me for free because of my academic achievements and my parents are planning to accept it. The problem is that I dont want to go. I heard Its horrible and the punishments are unusually cruel oh yeah it is also 3 hours away from my house so I will have to move and we currently cant find an apartment that allows pets in the area so my dogs will have to go to the shelter. I also wont ever see my friends EVER again. Have any suggestions on how to convince my parents to not move?
I am not willing to just make new friends or just get new dogs.

She is a 5 yr old stuck in a 14 yr old body who thinks she is 18. She lies, she manipulates, steals and on top of that gets away with everything because my dad works too much (he has to cuz of his business) and my mom just got out of the hospital from a sever asthma attack and if she has another she won't even make it to the hospital.

Kasey is really out of control and does whatever the hell she wants. My parents know how bad she is but they can't talk to her since she doesn't get what the say and they can't punish her cuz she can't connect the punishment to what she did wrong. She thinks its just abuse.

HOW do i get my sister to shut up and stop her nagging my mom so she doesn't kill my mom?

We can't afford any kind of help since the hospital bills are HUGE.

I really want to do something i just don't know what i can do to help. Any suggestions? PLEASE?

This is a rather long question as it has a lot of details.My grandmother passed away almost 2 years ago and the family recently learned that I had her diaries.I recieved them shortly after my mother passed away almost 6 years ago.Now,three family members are telling me that they belong to them.The reason why everyone is fighting for them is because there is some details in them of my step-grandfather abusing my grandmother to the point he could go to jail.The reason the other two are wanting them is because he is their biological father and my mother's half sisters.When mom died,she told me to not let the diaries go anywhere,but share them with anyone who came wanting to read them.I have debated on giving them to the step-grandfather,or at least one of each of us cousin's from every family.Should I just hang onto the diaries,distribute them through the family,or give them to the step-grandfather?

One time I was very ill in bed, couldn't go anywhere and my brother was at home. I asked him to get me some food from the store. He told me: "Get up, you are o.k. you have a car, and money. Do it yourself."

I have helped him any time, by getting his meds for diabetes driving, and picking up his medication and paying it for myself, and then I have to beg him for $$ he owed me.

I was taught to help family, but my brother is he out of the Q when I need help?

Last weekend my boyfriend's kids who are 3, 5, and 8 stayed over our house and I don't think they had a good time when they were at the house because I wouldn't let them sit in the living room or touch my things since the last time they were here one of the broke my crystal ballerina that costs a lot of money. That wasn't the only thing. Another thing is that his daughter whose 8 walked in on me and him in the tub together. We weren't doing anything dirty we were just making out and she went back and told her mom about it and about what happened with my things. And she got mad and started yelling at me telling me to respect her kids! I do respect them and she needs to back off. What is her problem anyway? I don't get it!

I am 20 and going to a community college right now.I am torn about whether I should go away to a larger university and live in a dorm so I can make new friends and get a new atmosphere or to just go to the nearest univeristy and live with my parents...rent free.I have a boyfriend of three years that I plan to marry within the next few years and he would probably go wherever I do but i don't want to live together til we're married.(what's to look forward to then?) Anyway, I haven't made alot of friends at school and there aren't many options at work. I want to have the exciting "college experience" that everyone talks about. But I don't want to waste $30,000 just to get out and make friends when things could be alot easier if I stay at home.And the other thing is that I would feel gulity about leaving my mom. My dad died a few years ago and I don't want her to be lonely.I know i have to leave sometime and start my life, but i still feel bad. Any advice?
