My Brother...Help
Posted Monday July 31 2006, 6:03 pm
This may sound a little lame and i may sound weak, but my problem is my brother is abusive toward me. He is 18 months younger than me, and he hits my slaps me, kicks me, punchs me in the face, somtimes he even threatens to stab me. If i try to fight back, im the one who gets grounded and if i tell my mom he hurts me, she grounds me because she thinks i am lying! And then i have to deal with my brother attacking me for telling my mom. Now i am like afraid to go to bed at night because he is always threatening to hurt me in my sleep. My dad passed away in 2004 and ever since then, he has been abusive toward me. I have talked to my school counsler about it and she said that she would set up a meeting with my mom. I lock myself in my room and i...

My fiance's family is stressing me out . . .
Posted Sunday July 30 2006, 11:55 pm
I am 19 years old. I have a fiance (earnie) whom I have been with for over a year. I also have been living with him and his family for this long. Earnie's family consists of his mother, father, older sister, younger brother, and his cousin. I love his family and I appreciate everything they have done for me, however, I feel like I am a burden. In a recent argument Earnie's mother and brother were having his brother said that he did not like me, and it seems to me that his sister doesn't either. I don't know what I can do to make them like me. I have been as nice to them as I know how. I accept that not everyone will like me, but I really don't like feeling like a burden. What can I do about this? Or is this just a hopeless question?

sex with cousins

How come if you have sex with your cousin or any family member and get pregnant, the chances of the baby being deformed or mentally retarted are increased? I don't understand why. I know it has something to do with the genes are so like, but I'm still confused.

Suporrting my daughter.
Posted Sunday July 30 2006, 8:36 pm
I am a 35/f whose teenage daughter has been living with her father for most of her life.
When her father and I divorced it was decided she would live there because I wasn’t financially stable enough to give her a comfortable year-round home but she has always spent most of the summer with me.
While things have changed a lot now. I make a good deal more money, pay child support and have a much more comfortable home for her. She’s decided she wants to move in with me for the rest of high school because the high school in my area has a much better art classes and several of her friends attend it.
I’m delighted of course, the thing is, she is afraid to tell her father about this decision. She...

my mom makes me mad
Posted Sunday July 30 2006, 12:56 pm
When my mom tells me something it makes me feel like she's criticising things she doesn't need to criticize. I hate that she tries to look at and even know about things that she doesn't need to know about. Even little common things she has to mention and makes me feel bad. I feel like she is overeacting. and I hate it. I want my personal life and she acts like she knows things that happens at a place I go then when she comes home talks to me she sounds like she knows what i said and even mimicking my accent like I'm stupid. Gosh it's better than sounding mean and disrespectful to people. Other people even acts like that toward me and I hate people copying things that I do.

Mother's Boyfriend
Posted Saturday July 29 2006, 8:22 pm
My mother's boyfriend is very inconsiderate to my little sister and I. He seems to think that anything that we have to say can not possibly be more important than what he might be saying, even if we need help with our homework or are cooking dinner and can't find something. He also does not seem to think that the rules of the house apply to him. Another big problem is his phone behavior. He will call while one of us is on the phone with a friend (we have call waiting) and when we tell him that we are on the phone and that we will have our mother call him when we are done, he still calls back about ever five minutes. He has done this when we were on the phone long distance, and we finallly got irate and yelled at him (he had called back six ...

patience.
Posted Saturday July 29 2006, 8:10 pm
My mom told my sister and I a few days ago that if she tells us to do something, we have to do it within 5 minutes or we "lose our privileges". She isn't patient at all. When she tells us to do the dishes, and we say "I will", then she looks at her watch casually to time us 5 minutes to do it. She constantly has to have us doing chores, too. Whether its vacuuming, yard work, dishes, emptying the trash, or putting something up, she can't wait and we have to do it NOW. If we aren't cleaning in some way, we're wasting time (according to my mom). What do we do?

I really want braces because I need them. My parents say I'm not mature enough though. I dont see how I'm not. I mean, they trust me for hours at a time by myself everyday. They even leave me responsible for my nephews when they come over. Plus, I'm 15 turning 16 in like a few days. And they make plenty if money for me to get them. We own like a 110,000 dollar house. Sometimes they claim that all our money is being spent on that but that's a bunch of bull. If my dad wasn't an alcoholic and spent all the money on booze. How do I handel this situation?
