my best friend died and her troubled teen comes to stay here
Posted Sunday February 25 2007, 3:52 pm
After my best friend's death her troubled teen daughter came to stay with my family. Of course there were conditions. Job, school (g.e.d.), no drugs, booze. After just 5 weeks she broke all the rules. Got fired from a job that I helped her get etc....THEN she started an affair with my teen age son. Claiming she's "in love", he works and goes to school. He was being rail roaded. She just dug her claws in deeper. It was getting crazy. I had her leave yesterday. She went to a shelter, I feel grief and relief at the same time. Maybe she should have never came. Maybe (somehow) I should've dealt with it. For at least a week I didn't sleep and eat (lost 6 lbs.). My husband is supportive of my decision but my )OLDER son (29), says I was u...

Posted Sunday February 25 2007, 2:56 pm
In the house I live in with my family...I'm the one who does most, if not all the cleaning. My house is almost always a mess. I know I can't always clean the house when it needs cleaning. I'm sixteen, in 10th & I have a boyfriend now. It almost seems impossible sometimes to manage all that. Sometimes I feel like I don't have any parents, I have 2 middle aged kids...meaning my parents...not to mention my little brother (hes 14). I don't know what to do. My parents are always nagging me about my grades so I've been thinking of asking if we could make a little deal or comprimise...that if I were to keep my grades up...they would keep the house clean as much as they can. I don't even know how to ask that of them. I'm afraid they'll just thi...

My mom...
Posted Saturday February 24 2007, 7:05 pm
My mom abuses everyone in the family except for my little brother. She even abuses my dad! Everything we do that she doesn't like, we get beaten for it. I'm scared, and I tried calling the police, but when they came, my mom acted like everything was perfect, and she even repainted the wall that she caused my older sister to bleed on, so that she wouldn't be suspected of abuse. The police accused me of lying, and now I'm on social probation. After the police left, my mom beat me up and threw me at the wall. She broke my arm, and I asked her why she did that to me, and she just smacked me and said, "You ruined my life the moment you were born. You don't deserve life!" So one day when she was sleeping, my dad and I went to McDonalds ...

bis sister
Posted Tuesday February 20 2007, 11:56 am
hi, well im 15, and my sisters 18. Well she's really annoying, and it really pisses me off. She acts like a kid when she wants to be treated like an adult, and she's really like, bossy. the other day, she was all "come in here when you're done, i need your help" then she tells me to help her pick out an outfit, and when im all "um i dont know..." she gets angry, like its my job. then she tells me to clean her room while she hangs up her clothes, and if i tell her to do it her self, shes all "you know you're attitude really stinks" and she keeps complaining, even though she's worse. is this normal? or is she just wierd. i think the second one but ide like someone elses opinion. thanks in advance :)

going away

My family is quite boring and we never go on big trips. I live in Rhode Island (the smallest state in the country) and my dad thinks trips to the city next to us is fun. the drive is 10 minutes and it's no fun. we've went to New Hampshire twice every year for the past 13 years. yeah it's boring now. and we've never gotten to the West Coast or even in the MidWest. I've been to Florida before when i was 7 but we drove and it was the worst drive in my life. my mom and sister are afraid to go on planes. i've never been on a plane before but i'm not scared. i really want to travel around the country and see different places and i feel like i'm wasting my life not going anyhere. my mom and sister are also afraid of boats and trains so thats out o...
