She wants me to see a therapist!!
Posted Thursday June 15 2006, 5:07 pm
I asked a question before about my mother and how she's divorcing her 3rd husband--// Actually, they're separated but you KNOW it's leading to a divorce.
Well, my wonderful mother wants me to see a freaking therapist for the way I've been acting towards her and number 3 (irresponsible, disrespectful, ungrateful, demanding, blah blah blah).
SHES THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GO SEE A DAMN THERAPIST NOT ME!! I KNOW why I act the way I do and I don't need some fag bag shrink to tell me. She's my problem. Who gets married AND divorced 3 different times by the time they're 36?? She should be seeing someone about that.
Plus I know the only reason she wants me to go see one is because ...

Painful Family Relationships
Posted Thursday June 15 2006, 5:01 pm
I am a divorced 48-year old woman with a ten year old child and her own business, who's not very close to her family. When I was 15, I had a baby, gave the child up for adoption and never lived with my parents again. (I am the eldest child.) They divorced shortly thereafter after a troubled 17-year marriage. I moved in with my grandmother (who was my best friend) and lived with her until her death, now more than 15 years ago.
Since then, with the exception of my father, who moved 3,000 miles away, my immediate family has done everything to treat me like I don't exist. It really hurt me but was a continution of the pain I experienced from them as a child.
My mother didn't attend my college graduation, weddi...

PLZ HELP IM TIRED OF SMELLING LIKE SMOKE
Posted Thursday June 15 2006, 2:02 pm
Hallo!
O.K. so here's the deal. My brother takes me to school each morning in his car. Usually we would just leave at the last second, and get there in time. Now, we're leaving 30 minutes earlier to pick up his friend. I was o.k. with it, but now they're starting to smoke in the car and I get to school with my clothes smelling like smoke. Normally, I would just ask him to stop, but during last summer him and his ex-girlfriend had a baby when he was sixteen, and now I just feel bad for him a lot and I would feel guilty for asking him, because it's probably his way of dealing with the baby (Not that it's the right way.) What should I do?
P.S. not only do I need advice, I give advice,too. So if you need me..uh then yeah :) PL

My Son doesn't want to spend Father's Day weekend with me
Posted Tuesday June 13 2006, 5:30 pm
I am divorced, my 15 y.o. son (whose mother has custody) has decided that he doesn't want to spend this Saturday with me. In the past, he has always spent the entire Father's Day weekend with me. In addition, about a week ago, I informed my son that his Uncle (who my son really gets along with - and lives out-of-State) will be having breakfast with us on Saturday. Now, my son says that he wants to celebrate Saturday with his step-father. However, he has never celebrated mother's day with his step-mom. I am enraged and don't know what to do.

Crazy Dad
Posted Tuesday June 13 2006, 10:08 am
My parents and I really don't get along because my dad sets double standards between my sister and I.
Well he makes himself impossible to live with. He always says stuff like "I'll smack you in the face if you dont do this.." and the sad part is I'm 18 years old. Yeah I should just move out, but I don't have the financial means to.
It's driving me crazy. I can't seem to do anything right, and he always is quick to point out things I do poorly in rather then see the things I sucueed in.
What should I do?

Posted Monday June 12 2006, 5:52 pm
okay i know i havent said this before but i've been thinking about it a lot and i guess i just want some opinions or something.
so i've never lived with my parents...most kids who dont or something their parents arent very close by and if so not REALLY close.

Bad kids?
Posted Monday June 12 2006, 4:47 pm
I used to be good friends with Nick and Eric, but then Nick got into drugs and smoking, Eric started drinking, and they both began having sex with girls. Eric is only 13, and Nick is 12. ( I`m 13) I stopped hanging out with them because they're only around girls to get in their pants, and their so bad. Well, my best friend doesn't realize thats what theyre doing. They even tell her they only like her cause she's got a massive butt but she doesn`t listen. I don't want her to turn out like them, HELP!

Need a vacay
Posted Sunday June 11 2006, 4:10 pm
Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone can give me some good vacation ideas? OK, we live in Latrobe, Pa. We only want to go for a weekend. It will be me, my husband & our 2 kids, (3 & 6). We would like it to be somewhat cheap & close by. Even in the Ohio, West Virginia range would be fine. As long as it is in driving distance. So, if anyone had any experiences with any place fun & inexpensive or has any ideas in general it would be greatly appriciated. We can also go to places offering military discounts. Thankyou.
