My mum moved in with her boyfriend properly over a year ago.
She's with him everyday, they're always going on holiday's and spending time with HIS family.
Im never invited.
This year my mum, her boyfriend, his parents and his son went to spain.
I wasn't invited.
I got my own little holiday with my mum but she said i couldnt go with them because im too much 'trouble'.

Anywayz she said that she's going to come home for christmas. She's going to come on christmas eve and leave at 2 on christmas day to spend time with her boyfriends family because he's her partner and they do things together.
I said to her that shes going to come here then go there for a proper christmas, and she said that its not a proper christmas coz they're jewish.
And i said, so stay with us (me and my dad) coz we're catholic and do celebrate it..and she just mumbled stuff and walked out of the room.
She's always said if i want her to come home ask but ive asked and she hasnt.
She has a new life now.

I got engaged 9 months ago and my family (with the exception of my mom) doesn't even know it yet. The reason I've chosen not to announce this is that my sister hates my fiancee. I've discussed this with her and she simply gets fuming mad and says it's because I love her (my fiancee) more than my family and that she causes me to miss family functions. Before this tension arose I never did miss a family function but there were a couple times that I left ealry with my fiancee because she was getting very homesick and felt like she was going to cry, she was embarrassed. Her family lives almost 1500 miles away and she gets homesick, especially when she's around another family enjoying their time together. Since my sister and I have "talked" I have skipped some family events to avoid the discomfort but I'm really in a lose-lose situation here. If I skip a family funtion my family gets a little offended (and my sister get's ammunition) and my fiancee also gets upset because she feels she's

My friend lost her daughter to a car accident. She is tormented and I don't know what to say or not to say to her. I know she is sick of hearing how everyone is so sorry. I am afraid to say too much and afraid to not say anything at all. I need to find a way to comfort her. Any real advice would be appreciated. It was her only daughter. She still has 2 sons left but she only had one girl. She was about 32. Her mom is 56... I am so at a loss from what to do.

I am a 16 year old who does NOT get along with my mother. She calls me "overly- dramatic" when i tell her something that bothers me. We get no where. I end up getting mad at her, and then she takes away my cell phone. This is a new routine. Then, when i apologize, she yells at me.

My wife dislikes my kids, 2 daughters 26 and 27. she wants me only to herself and hates when I see or even talk to them. She has 2 sons 16 & 18 that I treat with respect and love. She talks bad about my kids all the time and it's driving me nuts. I try to tell her its not normal and all she says is She just wants me not my family. I don't like problems, but really need to do something. My girls are both on there own and never ask for anything. Her oldest is a money spending machine, and she thinks nothing of it. I will not throw my family away. What should I do?

I've already confronted this person, they did nothing, I didn't handle the situation properly like going to the police, and ended up being sued and filed bankruptcy because I was having a nervous breakdown. I'm now getting healthier and going to counseling, but I still get really upset about it, especially because it still affects me today - bad loan rates, unable to get approved for things when I really need them (like health stuff or car repairs, etc...). All of a sudden I will just burst in tears...what things can I do to cope with this?

although I dont understand why my auntie is pregnant.
They have their own room with things that you would normally have in a room (we have provided a bed, a mirror, chair, table, AND THEIR SHEETS) the bed was my mums before my auntie and oncle came.

Now the question is where would the had love time? Did they have it in my mums bed???!!! They have a car would they have it there - but my uncle is really tall while my auntie is quite short???!!!If they did have it in my mums bed DID THEY USE OUR SHEETS THAT WE GAVE THEM?? THEY HAVEN'T PROVIDED THEIR OWN AND THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING IN OUR HOUSE FOR A F ING YEAR?!

Before my uncle and auntie came to our House , my sister and I would lie on their bed and play. That bed was orginally ours and IS STILL ours! I dont want them to have had the love time on that bed.

Yes you may see that I really really really really hate them. If you want me to tell you just tell me when you finish your answer please

iam an Indian girl married a few months back to an NRI guy living in US.My husband comes from a huge joint family comprising of his parents, uncle and his brother's family.They run a family business which is self sufficient if they budget it well .The problem is that there is constant pressure on my husband to send thousands of dollars every few months to cater to the lifestyle of all the members.The money my husband sends gets deposited in a joint account with his brother in India who spends its exclusively for his spendthrift wife and daughters. Before my marriage my husband was not able to save a dime because of his mom's pressure to send money. I started convincing him and advicing him a lot on the proper management of money and so we have started saving a bit. Yet constantly my husband feels the guilt of not satisfying his family's needs and wants to satisfy them. Pls advice me on how to tackle this situation because our financial situation is becoming a constant worry in my life.

My sister(Alexa) is pregnant at thirteen and my parents didn't get mad, yell, rant, they basically took it like she was twenty or something. Only my older sister (Ember) and I aren't being all nice and treating her like a queen. I just can't get over how much like child she is acting. She is going to be a mom and she sits there soaking up all the attention. Does she care that people are basically now saying our whole family (females) is a bunch of sluts? Does she care that everyday I have to tell people that YES she is pregnant. I'm just tired of her, we have never really liked each other and now I am totally getting too much of her for my tastes. I am tired of always being the one to pick up after her so how do i just stop having to deal with her? ( short of moving out in six days)

I am almost 50. I went to therapy for 3 years to get over growing up with a horrible, cold and manipulative mother. She is still cruel and says horrible things about me to the rest of the family and they believe her. I have a wonderful husband and daughter, and my dad is great (they divorced years ago when she left him for someone else). Even though I know it would be better if I never saw her again, I still hurt. She is still just as mean as ever but she has moments when she is really sweet and nice. But then she back-stabs again. I think I might be holding on the good side but it comes with a price....more pain. I want to let it go and not see her anymore. Anyone been able to do this?

My friend let her son's (15) girlfriend (15) spend the night to save gas on a ski trip they were taking the next day. I say it is not good to open that door. It will lead to so much more. she says her mom let her boyfriend sped the night. my mom let my brother go overnight to a different city with his girlfriend. granted in all situations here they slept seperate. I will never do this. so who is right? If u are ok with it at what age should she let her them spend the night together if not now?

How can i get everyone on board with me? I feels so guilty even writing this , but i want him to have good life.

My sister and I rented an apartment together. Because my sister was a previous tenant, I was unaware of the cost of the rent. I assumed that she told me the correct amount for the monthly rent. After a full year, I found out the truth. That she was taking an extra $120 a month from me. Also, 3 months into the lease her 21 year old son moved in and never paid a penny towards anything. I was doing a 90% of the cleaning in the house hold. If she lied about the rent what else did she lie about. Gas & Electric? Water bill? Cable? Phone?
Currently, I do not see or talk to her. I told her that if she utters my name in my presents, I will hurt her. We recently had a family gathering, we did not speek to each other. As I got in my truck ...ironically my tire was flat. When the tire was repaired, the tech showed me a pair of hair cutting scissors as the reason.
Everone in the family says, " You guys should make up, your sisters"

What would you do?

my parent's are divorced, my dad has a girlfriend, aka basically my stepmom. The other day I left my jacket in their room and forgot to get it, then it went missing for 4 days. I then decided to go to her room early in the morning to look for it. She saw me looking for something and asked me what I was looking for, her always locked closet was open and i saw my jacket hanging with her jackets, I walked in her closet and answered, "My Jacket". Then she pretends, oh that's your jacket? I find the sleeves to be folded and my brother telling me he saw her wear it. I was wearing my jacket and my older step brother told me that his mother tried giving him the jacket and saying that she bought it. Shes only very nice to me in front of my father at the dinner table, but at other times when hes not around, she doesnt even acknowlege me. I tell my dad and I can see that he's sad but honestly I dont think he could find another woman at this age. What should i do with this woman? Get her back?

I love my parents very much, and I don't want to hurt them.. But lately all I have been wondering about is my biological mother. I think if I told my parents I wanted to meet her, they would be really upset and disappointed. I just feel that right now is a critical time for me, I'm trying to figure myself out and what I want from life. I think if I met her it would perhaps give me a better perspective on myself. How would I get put in touch with her?

Is this a bad idea? I know my birthmom still thinks of me sometimes, because every so often we get a letter from her (that my parents dont allow me to read). However they tell me certain things, and I know she has a family now.. Two kids aged 3-5 or something. Thinking about it now I'm not even so sure she is going to want me in her life......

I have no money for christmas gifts, as I have only 12 dollars to my name to get to and from work till my next paycheck which is already borrowed to be paid back and borrow again for rent. My daughter who lives with my mom is mad that I don't have 100 dollars to give her. I have stuff in my home that I have gotten free from contests and stuff , expensive hair stuff, face products, etc but they don't want that, and my mom is mad because I paid my electric and phone bill when I can't afford to provide for my daughter (she is on my lease but won't live with me because I date) and thinks I should sell my bed to give her money. I have already let my insurance go by missing one payment to give her money a couple weeks back. I am seeing a guy and he treats me really nice and I am thinking of spending Christmas with him because I will be alone anyway. I just want to forget about everything and enjoy what I can. Am I wrong and my family right?
