Family - December 2007

My stepdaughter is 10 years old and she has a Holiday concert this week at her school. I love her so much, as if she were my own and I feel a need to be there since her mother kind of abandoned her and her brother. (They see her a couple times a year even though she only live a few minutes away, she never calls them, they have to call her to make arrangements, she's an alcoholic and dresses like a teenager) Anyway, my stepdaughter called her and asked if she would go to her concert and she said yes, she has that night off. It's not that we don't get along, I've only even seen her mom a couple of times and each time she has been very rude to me but I never say anything, I just smile. I want to go for my stepdaughter's sake because I know it would mean a lot to her but I don't want to make her mom feel uncomfortable. Any ideas?

My little cousin who was 4 years old, passed away from a terrible car accident. I still dont feel as if my heart has fully healed. I cant listen to sad songs, i cant look at his pictures [STILL].... Today I was driving down the road and seen a car turned over upside down.. and I seriously started cry my eyes out because it brought back so many memories. Is this normal to still feel incredibly sad about my little cousins death after FOUR years?

my mom wants a divorce from my dad since he did something that he had to for work but she thinks he could have done it at another time since he needed to go to a meeting that is going to affect how we are going to be able to sell our house. my dad really doesn't want a divorce, but my mom has already gone to get boxes. this happened earlier, about four hours ago. i know my mom still loves him. what happened?? they were perfectly happy last night!! whats going to happen? sure, my moms got a tendency to do things she later regrets since she usually overreacts at first. but does she really mean it? earlier she said she still had to think about it.

My dad has been married a really long time and had an affair with my mom. The end result was me. He knows about me and choose to see me about once every 2 years. I am now a mother myself and would like my sons to know their grandfather. I just don't know if it would "right" to ask him into my life. I have missed out on having a father for 24 years and I feel like its time he made up for that. I don't want to ruin his family, but I don't want ot be left out anymore. He has 2 other dauthers outside his marriage and they seem fine that he is only there when it suits him. His wife has no idea about any of us. I just want to be able to see him again. He hasn't seen me in 5 years so has no idea that I am married and have kids now. Or that I live in Italy now. Last he talked to me was in 2001 when I went into the military. he loves me I know but I don't know if I should contact him and how do I go about doing that? I don't want his family to think I am someone he is cheating with i need help!

I pay more to go to work then what I pay for bills sad huh and I don't want to go to Department of Human services cause there so hard to get any help from you have to be on the streets or have 5 kids to acept you and well I just don't want to go to that. So what do I do just deal with it I think it's too bad that they don't help out Mother's that want to work and do they just make it harder on us to get by.

Im a good dad. Ryan , the oldest at 6, isnt biologically mine, but I treat him like he is. Sara, at two, is my first born. I love her with every fiber of my being. Kelly, 9 months, Is the most beutifull thing I have ever gazed upon. The problem? the kids mother susan and I cannot seem to make it work. she got pregnant 6 weeks into our relationship and at first I thought I could make it work. But after nearly three years I dont know if I can do it any longer. Im misserable and I only stay in it for the kids. But we get into these all out scream fests in front of the kids. I feel guilty for not being able to make it work, and I know Ill feel guilty if I leave. Any one out there with separated parents that can give me any insight would help

It has been around 2005-2006 since my dad started arguing with me and before he was agressive and used to beat me down to a pulp. Even one time i was sent to school with a black eye and i was in year 7 when that happened and i told the teacher that i fell down some stairs. But as i grew older, i grew taller than him and he couldnt beat me up anymore but just insult me and my mother, blaming her of what i have become. THis would happen after he had something to drink (Whisky probably). Anyways as the months went past he kept shouting sometimes try to throw a chair at me only to find my mother obstructing his way and trying to clam him down. But today he pulled the last straw since i was revising till about 4 a.m just so i could go to my mate's 18th but he said no. As long as i live in his house, i won't be going out untill i have my points for uni but it has gotten worse and theres another 7 months to go. He treated me like Sh*t and still do and i need to know how can i move out? help

My husband and I separated last Christmas and I moved with my two boys to be close to my family. One of my sisters has two boys aged 2 and 7; mine are 13 and 11. Her 7 year old and my 11 year old go to the same school and travel together on the bus, so they spend a lot of time together. Rough-housing is not really encouraged in my sister's family. My 11 yo is a real rough-houser who doesn't know when to stop, but I don't think he's mean (though I think he has a lot of anger in him about the separation). Today 11yo and 7yo were out in the yard having snowball fight and 11yo was stuffing snow down 7yo's parka, and 7yo was laughing. 7yo's dad was upset and said my son was bullying his son. Is this bullying? Doesn't bullying have to include malice aforethought and only be enjoyed by one party? To me it seems more like older and younger sibling playing/fighting, and I think they need to be left alone to work it out, but then I would think that, wouldn't I? I don't want 11yo to be labelled.

When it was my 6th birthday I think, I had a beautiful Princess cake, wonderful presents(I have realized those were some great presents!), but I was very unpleased, I was about to leave my grandparent's house, then I started crying...
"Mommy I wanted a kitten!!!" Booo hooo hooo....

Then almost all of my relatives came out, and said its ok its ok , maybe next year, yada yada yada....
But then my Great uncle who lived next door went over to his house and said, Hold on one minuet sweetie-pie,
Then he came back with a Calico kitten that was born a month or two ago , (he wasn't planning to give it to me anyway) and he gave it to me.And then in the car ride home the cat was freaking out and climbing everywhere.Then when we got home in jumped out the car and ran away, and I never saw it again.

And now I'm feel such a fool because I made a huge deal foe nothing! And I feel so greedy! I am not like that anymore, but still! How do I get over this thought!How do I apologize to my family

So my aunt and uncle were just here, and another aunt I don't see a lot was here too. I asked the aunt I don't see a lot if she'd watch me do one of my dances for her, but then the other aunt and uncle told me that they didn't have time, when they had another hour? Why did they say this? It was really mean. Also, my aunt said that she really wanted to see it. What was there problem?

My brother is currentley out of work, he has been living with my mother ( sadly my father is deceased) for 5 months. My mother Sabella, is tired of it! She want's him out and she wants him out now! He is a slob he has very few manners, and he doesn't care much about his career. So guess what instead of my sister Monique getting to have him at her house................. I get Salim ( my brother) at my house! Well it is not definite yet but my mother wants him out, and I can not turn her down, she says that I can handle him best, that I am responsible, and that I can motivate him to get a job. But I can't! Me and Salim never got along well, he is horrible with kids and I have 2 four year old boys running around the house! We have plenty of room for him that is certainly not a problem but................... You get the picture help!

My teenage daughter lives with her Mom primarily and I am caught in the middle of their fighting. It has been ongoing and when it gets to a certain point, there is talk of her moving in with me. I have no problem with that but her Mom has the 8-4 job and I have the whenever to whenever job and often work late. It is a better scenario at her Mom's as far as someone being there. But they are having a lot of difficulties. I know it is typical with girls and moms as they grow up to have friction, but I just want what is best for her and regardless of her Mom and my relationship, I still think they should get along better, even if she does move with me. Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

fistfight and is now being taken to court. She got angy with me during a drunken rage two nights ago and threatened to leave. I got up out of the chair, said BYE!, and went to bed. Now, part of her stuff is gone, but her clothes and everyday needs are still here. I think she plans to come here to dress everyday. This is not the first time she has pulled this kind of thing. Should I change the locks?
