DAD vs BROTHER
Posted Monday January 29 2007, 2:48 pm
my father and brother (14 yrs old) havn't spoken for 6 months because of a tiny little argument.. and because they're both being stubborn, this has affected my whole life, myother younger brother (10 yrs old) is afraid of our family falling apart and my mother is turning into a monster, screaming, being mean and irritated all the time, she never used to be that wya before this. I've tried talking, several times. Tried getting out of the house, but since my dad's mad all the time, he won't let me go out a lot.
What do I do? Just leave it alone?

Fights
Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 11:38 pm
I am a whiz on the computer and the Internet and she knows that - she is not disputing that - she always tells me that she wishes she knew how to use the computer the way I do. STORY: Ok today I had a fight with my mom. I had gone online to a major department store to find a furniture item for the Living Room. But I couldnt find it. Any way she called the store and they said that they do not have it in stock but they have it online. So she asked how can we find it online. I got defensive because I thought she was saying she thought I did not know how to use the Internet so I snapped at her. She got nasty. MY QUESTION: When people fight do they say nasty things that they dont mean just because they want to hurt the other person?

is this emotional abuse?
Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 10:33 pm
My mom got mad at me becasue she thought I was trying to break the television. Well I wasn't breaking it. IT has a lot of channels and the remote is missing because I lost track of it because when we moved I had to be quick. The bag the remote was at is missing. She got mad at me like I was the only one in the world doing something wrong. She got mad at me too when she found out the remote was missing. I don't get why she had to get mad at me like that.

don't mean to type so much but my mom
Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 8:00 pm
My cable tv doesn't have a remote. It had one but I can't find it. It probably got lost when we were moving to a new place because I had to do things in a hurry. I saw it but the bag it was on can't be found. So my mom saw me pushing the button on the tv and she got mad at. Saying not to do it carefully because it might break. I wasn't trying to break it. I was trying to make it quick because I was trying to turn on 38 when it was on 28. I hate that it takes such a long time so I did it that way. I don't understand why she was mad at me she was mad to when she found out I lost the remote. Is that abuse? because she has been doing similar things like that to me. Well right now it doesn't feel ok. I wasn't trying to do anything bad to the tv...

Lost everything, now what?
Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 6:37 pm
This year has been rough.
I gave up on my best friend after saving her
life for the third time due to her heavy
drinking, I couldn't handle protecting her like
I did anymore. She was my very best friend,
moving on hurt so bad.
My boyfriend that I love cheated on
me, so of course we broke up. His new girlfriend
happens to be the girl he knew I hated more
then anything.
My great friend, Michael stepped in.
He became my big brother, my support system.
He was the only one that got me through losing
everyone. Well, he started to like me. Once I
told him I wasn't up for that after everyone
broke my trust, he left too.

Concert Tickets
Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 6:07 pm
okay well my friend bought all of us tickets to go see this concert that I didn't even know about! When she told me what concert it was I really didn't want to go but she bought it with her own money that I had to!
But like my dad doesn't like her or her family and they're going to be there so he'd definitely get mad but I have to go.
The good thing is that on the day of the concert he's working but when I go to her house while he's at work he knows and I have no idea how!
Maybe he sticks like a voice recorder or something and has a ear peice in his ear while he's working, I don't know.
I don't knwo weather to tell him like tommorrow when he's working in the afternoon so that he...

Well, as soon as I get home from my game, dad jumps on me because I changed the password to my computer so my sister wouldn't be able to get on because she was online for four hours at the library and she doesn't need to be on for more than an hour.

Parents love my ex!
Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 10:23 pm
My parents keep bringing up my
ex boyfriend. I broke up with him because
he told me he liked another girl too.
Well, my parents keep asking about him.
I've told them numerous times NOT to bring
him up, and not to ask my about them.
I've told them what happened and everything
but my mom tells me I'm just being sensitive.
How do I get them to stop?
They won't listen to me!

judging family
Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 9:02 pm
I see my dad's side of the family every week usually and they judge me a lot and never believe what I say since I'm too young to know any better. I'm 17 and I've had to grow up quickly due to a harsh childhood. I think I should know what I think and believe and they somehow still don't believe me. I have given up on having real conversations with them, which I miss, so what should I do to get them to trust what I say? I really am out of ideas here and they are my family so I do need them.

foster sister
Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 1:49 am
Ever since my bro entered high school I was really lonely. We had been really close and stuff, and I never thought that we would ever grow further apart. So when my mom mentioned that we might adopt a child (not just cuz i was lonely but they had been considering adoption for a while) i got excited. I waited everyday to come home and hear what happened today with the caseworkers or whatever. After a few years, we got the news that there was a girl in my state who was four years younger than me. I was overjoyed that I was going to have a new little sister. I had always been the younger sister before. Well as time passed we found she had some serious emotional problems. She used to be so violent towards me, because she needed ALOT of attentio...

Cultural Differences
Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 12:28 am
I am 15 years old and I have a wonderful boyfriend just that my parents do not know. The reason why I can't tell them is because me being Nigerian I must date Africans only, but he is white and I am so confused because he thinks that I'm do not trust him because I never introduced him to my parents but he has introduced his parents to me. The problem is that I know my Dad will not approve and my Mom just agrees with him and I have to lie to them that I'm meeting my friends at the mall to go out wit him and I hate lying to them. I have no reason for them not to trust me because I am really smart and always been good so I really need help.
