Dealing with my mother.
Posted Saturday February 3 2007, 1:27 pm
My mother and I can never get along. We don't agree on anything and we're always really bitchy toward each other. We fight about everything and anything. Frankly, it's to the point where I can't take it anymore. I'm not saying it's entirely her fault. Sometimes I feel that I have anger management issues, but I'm trying to better myself. I've just gotten so much hate built up towards her that everything she does angers me in some way. She acts like she's perfect and she is trying to control every aspect of my life. We have considered going to counseling, but I know my mom very well and she would never take a shrink's advice because she can never admitt she is wrong, like I can. I admitt that I have a short temper, but she won't admitt that s...

Parental Issues
Posted Saturday February 3 2007, 11:14 am
I'm 13, and my mom and dad are total assholes. My mom is a drug addict who is always in jail, and my dad does pot. My mom is currently out of jail, but I still don't want to associate with her. I don't even talk to my dad. My dad visits every so often and I go to my room, because my brother still wants to see him (he's younger and still has that 'my-dad's-the-best-and-he's-superman' view) My aunt and uncle think its rude and hateful that I don't think my mom is going to to quit drugs and that I refuse to talk to her. But she has been doing drugs for 6 years (7 on the 23rd) and I used to think she was going to quit, but I don't anymore. I'm tired of opening up and letting her in, when all she does is break me again. I don't know if this is wrong or not, do you think it is?

Bringing girls in
Posted Saturday February 3 2007, 7:09 am
I am a single guy just turned 33, on a visit overseas staying with my elder brother (Mid 40s), his wife (mid 40s)and 4 kids (oldest bening 16 year old girl, youngest being 4 year old boy) I have been staying with them for almost 3 months now, have made a few girlfriends who want to know my house and certainly would want to get physical, but I dont know if it is all right to bring girls to the house and in my room, my room not even having a key, even though i stay alone there and the younger kids have the habit of barging in. Kind of funny problem, right? And by the way, we are black Africans. Whites tend to be more liberal about this kind of things than blacks. Just wanna know what u guys think before I make a decision. Thanks as always, guys

parent/adult child question

34/f
I have a silly problem. It's my mother and her insipid e-mails. She forwards me all of this junk. I don't really care about the cute, cuddly pictures of kitties and bunnies. It's the political stuff that annoys me. We do not have the same political views and she is WELL aware of this. She sends me e-mails (the ones that say if you agree that communists are inviting Castro to take over the Supreme Court, forward this to 500 people immediately and if you don't, you
don't love Jesus and you need to move to France with the whole A.C.L.U.) touting political, social, and religious views I vehemently disagree with and which provoke argumentative feelings in me. I'd really love to reply to them and tell her
why it's...

my mom
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 8:20 pm
My mom and Dad hate each other. My Dad is an ass and my mom always complain that I am just like him just because I agree with what he says. And it isn't because of any reason I just think that his ideas are smarter then hers. Like for example: i was doing my homework and i didn't know this answer so she said to just ask the teacher and he'll give me all the answers but my dad said I should look at the answers at the back of the book cuz then I'd try and see how i got the answers and then I'd get it. And then she told the whole family (aunts, everyone) that I like Dad more then her and now everyone hates me because I like my dad more then her and it's not even true! And she asked me to fix the remote but I said I didn't know how and I meant ...

mom trouble...i feel like crap
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 7:25 pm
ok here is the deal. My birthday is on feb 7. So to celebrate my bday, my mom wanted to take me on a cruise on feb. 26...it was all good, until monday when i found out that i had to take a part of the fcat that day( a state test that u have to pass in order to graduate from high skool). So i told my mom , and she wants me to go to the cruise and retake that part 4 days later.

So today, i got tickets to see Wicked. Supposebly that show was sold outand i had gotten the last 2, but then my frien...

my father
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 7:23 pm
My dad and I don't have a good relationship. I only see him at family gatherings and we greet each other and say bye when the time comes and that's about it. He helped make my life difficult when I was younger and I don't approve of his actions. He never makes a move to talk or anything and he doesn't even call me on my birthday or anything. I want to make the relationship better though. Even though it's far away, I want him to walk me down the aisle and with the relationship we have now, it isn't going to happen in the future. I am at a loss with this one, so any advice is welcomed :)

my dad's anger problem
Posted Tuesday January 30 2007, 6:37 pm
My dad has a huge anger issue! He always yells at me, even when I have done nothing wrong. He'll tell me I am not smart, wise, or I can never shut up and stop complaining. He is always throwing my school books around, even when it is not in his way, and makes me pick it up. He doesn't do that to anyone elses stuff. He throws shoes at me, hits me, and throws anywhere from pencils to hardbound books to me, whenever I ask him how to do a math problem.
Also when I prove him wrong, he gets mad and denies he even is wrong, and storms out of the room, snapping at everyone he sees. He even gets mad when I get a boyfriend. He thinks I am a total slut and he doesn't trust me because I took my ex (was my boyfriend) to my room once(while...

Be closer to my brother..
Posted Tuesday January 30 2007, 4:23 pm
I have a younger brother who is 13 & I'm a 16 year old girl. I'd like to be closer to him or at least really get to know him. We fought when we were younger & I tend to put him down a lot. We rarely talk now... or see each other. We're both on the computer in our rooms all the time. He likes to play video games & I'm not good at them. It's like we have nothing in common besides our last name.
I don't want to be a bad influence on him though... He makes jokes about weed/etc because it's the cool thing with his friends. I know he doesn't do it. I, on the other hand, have made some not so great choices. He doesn't know I have but still I don't want that to rub off on him... I want better for him.

Sister Fights
Posted Monday January 29 2007, 7:03 pm
Me and my sister are both teenage girls, 15 and 16. We butt heads on a daily basis. We fight at least twice a day, and by fight I mean physically and definitely emotionally. We've physcially fought so badly that we leave bruises, marks and scratches on each other. Emotionally is the worst though. She has no idea that everything she says to me/calls me hurts me so badly. As my older sister everyone expects us to fight, but this type of fighting is over the line. We fight twice a day, at least!
We're past the point of working it out, our parents have tried everything. And honestly I'm sick of crying everyday.
What do I do? And please don't say ignore her, that NEVER works.
