I'm am 14 years old and i live with my parents and my sister. My dad hits me. Not like discipline hitting but abusively. Once he cornered me and started kicking me. He punches my head leaving me with bumps and headaches. My mom does the same thing. My sister is allowed to hit me and my parents dont care. She punches me in the nose and is always slapping me around. a lot of my family has seen it. Including my older sister, and her kids. I'm scared of living hhere because it keeps getting worst.

I'm just curious. Throughout my life my grandparents were always there for me. Unfortunately, both of my grandfather's are dead. So I spend time with my grandmothers. In fact, I went on several vacations recently with my maternal grandmother. On my 26th birthday I'm planning to take my her with me to Venice,Italy.

I have not spoken to my father in over 18 years, ever since my mom left hime for beating her. I was told by a relative that my father died on December 21, as a result of a drug overdose. I'm sorry to say the news didn't sadden me (it's hard to feel sad when I haven't talked to the man in so many years). Now, his brothers and sisters are bugging my brother, sister and ME to make funral arrangements! HUH? Why should WE make the arrangements? He is THEIR brother-let them make the arrangements! Am I wrong in my thinking? What do you all think?

I know my bio mom but I dont live with her either. She wont tell me anything else except his name. She claims she doesnt know anymore. Which doesnt make me feel all that great either having a mother that doesnt really know who my father is. Im in foster care and they said the man that I thought was my dad might not be. They said I have two more potential dads. So how do I find out who is my real dad? On my birth certificate it said father unknown and it doesnt even say what city i was born in. All I know is their name. I dont know if that would get me very far. I dont have alot to spend on those agencies either. So what do I do?

Ive been married 15 years. I have kids. Our relationship with my parents is not good. My mother can be quite abusive. I did not speak to my mother for two years because of a situation in the past. My father always acquiesces to my mother. "She has to be the queen bee and will not change," he says. He bugs me all the time to forgive her and be the better person. Finally after two years my mother calls and apologizes. That is only the second time in my life she has apologized. I told her that I was bitter for all of the turmoil she caused me and my family.

Now, shortly after Christmas she sent me a check for a considerable amount of money. I don't know if I should take it or not.

I am willing to allow her to see my kids in a neutral location. I think that is the right thing to do. Limited visitation is okay. I don't want her to think that by giving me this money that everything will be okay or that she can do what she wants. It will not be.

Should I take the money?

My brother and I don't have a very good realationship. He's almost 16, and I'm a little younger. He doesn't talk to me anymore, and when he talks to my parents/family, he's all angry, and he sometimes yells. He drinks, not much, just beer when my parents have it, but maybe that could be affecting it? It started when he was twelve. We used to be somewhat close (not much, but still better than now), and now it's like I'm his enemy or something. He's never had a girlfriend, and I don't remember the last time he had a friend over or got a phone call. I worry about him, even though he clearly couldn't care less about me. I know that this isn't normal and I worry that it might be pshychological. Is this just a phase he's going through? Does it have something to do with me? And more importantly, will it get better?

I am a very real person. I like to say how things are. Some opinion some facts. The problem is I end up fighting with people. Arguements, disagreements, whatever you want to call it. We battle. I notice that a lot of people are not like me. They bullshit. And it seems like
#1. I can't handle their bullshit
#2. I like to talk about it and others turn off as if nothing happened.
#3. Can't handle that either.

So what's a chic to do? I really don't want to argue (and iI'm good at it) but I really don't want to bullshit either.

A few years ago I ran into some money when my parents died. I lent my brother-in-law over $100,000 for his business and he lost the lot.What I am cranky about is that I found out later while his business was in trouble he was leasing a jaguar, having holidays on Stradbroke Island and buying expensive presents for his kids. When he know he couldn't pay me he asked me to buy his house for $630,000 and he would take off what he owed me - his house sold for $540,000. He also offered me some of his investment properties at inflated prices.
Now two and half years down the track,my wife's family have decided that I am the evil one because I won't forgive him and he's the poor business entrepreneur who had a bit of bad luck, but will pay me back some day.
I have accepted that he will never pay me back and probably never intended to. I suggested that my wife's brothers (two of whom are extremely well off) should share the debt with me but my wife said that was a silly suggestion.

I've been REALLY depressed lately..eversince my mother's brother came here from China in March and eversince, she did not care for me much and you can say she always "sacrifices" me to make him happy. It's not even human like and he does nothing to help us and no values at all. He's a disgrace to the human nature and my mom is always speaking up for him, even if he's wrong and she doesn't care about my feelings anymore. It's happened SO many times over the last 9 months, at this point, I really cannot take it anymore and I have a few choices..kill myself, runaway or just keep being depressed and to think of talking to her, it doesn't work because she's always going to be like this and it's given my very low self-esteem. What should I do? I cannot keep breaking down and taking my anger out of stuff and she screams and beats me when I do.

Let me tell you what is going on so you know my dilemma. I was giving grandmother once a week to visit with her grandson at our home. However, grandmother is a very sensitive person and always takes everything I say in the most negative way that she can. The last time she didn't like something I said, she threw a big "temper tantrum" over the phone to my husband and accused me of making her feel like she wasn't welcome at our home and robbing her of her grandparenthood. I was only being a good mother and telling her that I didn't agree with her view on parenting in a certain area of my child's life. I feel like I have a right as a parent to have "my way" with my son. Furthermore, I don't appreciate being accused of things that I haven't done just because she didn't get her way and we have different beliefs and views on parenting. I have always treated her kindly when she visits. My husband has no idea what is going on because he is hardly ever there when she does visit.

Jake is my close friend and he's having a New Year's party. My mom doesn't want to pick me up after 12:00, so I asked her if it was okay that I could just spend the night. My other friends, Samantha, Becca, Andrew, and Ashley are staying over too. We're all just friends, so why is it so bad that I stay at his house? The girls are all sleeping in one room while the boys sleep in another! We're twelve and thirteen year olds and the only thing we have on our minds is playing Rock Band and hanging out! How do I convince my mom of that?

One of my best friends is a girl and we've known each other for a long time. Our relationship is purely platonic. However, my parents have started joking that we should start dating. It's annoying.

Someone told me recently that every parent loves their kid.

I disagreed. Because I have seen parents just have their kids for their own ego sakes, and only notice their existence when it flatters themselves to.

Is it true that all parents love their kids?

My bio dad walked out, hated me, and left, when I was young.

Now, no direction from him, nothing just a big empty void left inside.

How can anyone say that EVERY parent whether father or mother, LOVES their kids?

Is not that a lie?

how do people feel about couples that bring their kids to functions? we have 2 sets of friends who don't have kids, and they ask us to do things, but we always have our kids because we can't afford babysitters all the time. we don't take them to adult parties, but to everything else. do they hate this?

....to have expectations that my father should occassionally let me know he cares about me? He doesn't call me. He rarely answers his phone and only calls me back when there's some sort of business to take care of. When I tell him about my college events, he uses that feigned tone of voice that you use with a 2 year old.
I'm not asking for constant reassurance because I don't want that. I'm asking that my dad shows me he cares about me now and then and not seem so distant. I can't handle these "active" and "inactive" phases he goes through--and I feel so invalidated as an adult because it hurts my feelings so much. I quit trying to maintain a relationship this year because he wouldn't reciprocate the efforts and I didn't want to waste my time.

Is this wrong or childish of me to have these expectations from a parent? I just don't understand this anymore.

This may sound like just another teenager vs parent thing, but it really does drive me insane! It seems like my mom just jumps down my throat at any given opportunity! It's like she's looking for a fight =\. And after we fight she always tries to make me feel worse and more angry afterwards by bringing up the subject out of no where. I'm seriously fed up with it, but I'm not sure what I can do, I've put up with it for long enough, I've even tried ignoring her, but I can't avoid her forever. Any ideas?
