Drugs and Parents
Posted Thursday May 29 2008, 1:43 am
I have a bit of a problem and I am not sure how to deal with it. I am 21 and recently discovered my mother is smoking weed. I found a joint and today when I walked in the house it smelt like weed. She is a grown woman and can make decisions, but I am worried that it will turn into worse.
My father was a drinker and druggy and thats how he ultimately died. So I am worried that she will end up the same way to early.
So please tell me if I should just butt out or what I can do about it.

my mother
Posted Wednesday May 28 2008, 11:46 pm
My mom and I have had issues for a long time and I dont think she understands it at all. Tonight she was talking to me with her sister and it just agravates me so much that they both jump down my throat when they don't understand me at all and still try to put their advice in. I would love to tell my mother everything, but it's just so hard. She thinks my "bad mood" is from a new high school Im at or hormones.
She drinks (not to the level of an alcholic, but I would perfer she drank less) and makes me promises but doesn't remember them the next day.
My brother is autistic and can function normally and many people wouldn't be able to tell he was challenged, but it's still been a struggle for her. I understan...

I'm grossed out
Posted Wednesday May 28 2008, 5:25 pm
So people understand, I'm 17 and my brother is 15. This past Sunday I was in my room getting ready to take a shower. I heard a noise from my brother's closet (his closet shares a wall with my room) but figured my brother was just doing something there, and went about my business. After my shower I came back to my room and started getting ready for bed. As I was putting on my underwear I heard a noise again in my brother's closet like a moan. I don't know why, but I felt wierd. After I put on my pj's I looked at the wall and saw a small hole about seven feet up the wall. On Monday afternnon I went into my brother's closet and saw the hole. My brother can see almost my entire room. It was him I heard spyong on me on Sunday.

unfair.
Posted Wednesday May 28 2008, 1:13 pm
all my life i've never been treated the same as my brother. but this summer, my brother was supposed to go on a school trip this summer. But he didnt pull his grades up, continued to smoke pot, skip school etc, so he was told that he couldnt go. well come to find out that. the plane ticket was non refundable. but it is transferable. so now my dad is giving my brother a trip to my sisters for a week. Now here i am, getting yelled at for every little thing, dont smoke pot, decent grades, dont skip school, pay for everything myself, etc. and what do i get? nothing. not even a good job. and when i say something, my dad just says well i couldnt do anything about that, or w/e. and that he doesnt care. y cant i have a trip to go see my sister?
my dad is never fair to me.

to move or not to move?
Posted Tuesday May 27 2008, 8:09 pm
Me and my huband are moving in 41 days from FL to NC so my brother can help my husband get into the police adacemy (my brother is a cop and my husband has been stuck at a dead end job for years). My brother has offered us to say in his house with him, his wife, and 2 teenage kids untill we get on our feet.

Schizophrenic Mother
Posted Tuesday May 27 2008, 7:08 pm
My mother was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia, yet she is in denial. If you scream at her to get help, her face remains completely unchanged and emotionless.
She thinks everyone is out to get her, and against her; trying to take me and my brother away from her,which has already been done.
In March of last year, my little brother John was taken by his father from my mother. She hasn't seen him since. But he did it for John's own safety because at the time, my mother was somewhat abusing me, and she went to jail for it for four months.
She blames my father, Johns father, and her own mother for everything that;s happening to her, and nothing we say will convince her to get help. She doesn't think she needs help, and ...

Religion Mix
Posted Tuesday May 27 2008, 1:27 pm
Ok, my parents are strict Catholics, My older brother(17) is 100% satanic, I'm a Buddhist and my sister finds any form of Religion disgusting.
Our house is all classical, with expensive furniture and so on, cause of my parents.
My room is minimalistic with a small shrine to Buddha. My brother's room is all black, and he does quite extreme Satanic stuff. Sorry, I don't know anything about it. But I have seen blood on the floor and so on.
My sister thinks anyone that people worship is s*it and so on. She's 14. She's constantly complaining about out religions and so on.
My parents hate my brother...they haven't talked for 4 years, since he discovered Satanism. My parents don't like to talk to me either.

Should I stay or should I go?
Posted Monday May 26 2008, 5:28 pm
I'm 16 & me & my family dont get along at all. I dont see life the same as my family does. They try to restrain me from having a life & its getting hard. They try & keep me very close to them when they know I'm growing up. They want me to be baby again so that I'll just shutup & listen. Too bad it wont work. I need to figure out a way to be happy. Thats just the general question. If you want the full story I'll be glad to tell anyone lol.

ANYONES opinion please
Posted Monday May 26 2008, 3:07 pm
My family can be really critical, but what they think will always matter to me, as well as my friends. So i just need some opinions from everyone.
Im on track to become a Nurse. but im about three years away from being totally done with it.. I really want to start a family.. i want to be able to have enough energy to have fun with my family. I love kids, i work with kids, but im worried that people might think im too young still. My family atleast tends to think that 35 is the perfect age to have children. So..
My question is: what is the RIGHT age for people to start a family? (assume they would be married)
Thank you so much. sorry if its in the wrong category
