death in the family
Posted Wednesday March 8 2006, 8:32 pm
Sorry if this was the wrong category to choose...
Recently my boyfriend's aunt died from cancer. They knew she was sick for a while but they thought she was doing pretty good until a couple days ago. He was very close to his aunt and he is devastated. Every night i talk on the phone to him and he is just so depressed and he misses her so much. I have never lost someone really except all my grandparents but i was too young to really understand. When he talks to me i have no idea what to say. I know i can't make him feel better and its still going to hurt but i have no idea what to say. any advice appreciated

my dad
Posted Wednesday March 8 2006, 8:24 pm
I cant stand my dad any more. He drives me insane! i have this problem with people making noises when they eat, talking when im doing homework/reading/watching tv and then blowing their noses like in the living room. All of which he is WELL aware of and he keeps doing it. I cant even stand to be in the same room as him anymore. Is this a sign of OCD or something like that? How can i learn how to chill about these things?
Thank you! I'll rate high <3

OK, first off I just want to apologize for this being so long. BUT I will rate a 5 for any answer I get. No matter how bad or how good. No matter what I'll give you a 5 if you can at least help me a little bit!! I'm desperate!! I'm going to read you all an entry from my diary (I wrote it March 5th)
" I just want someone to keep their promises to me and if they tell me that they love me they don't take it back. And if they say they'll always be there for me, athey will always be by myside until the end of time. Why does everyone that I love always have to leave me? Everyone who has meant anything at all to me in my life has left me in some way or another. I just want more than brokeen promises and painful memories. I wan...

my mom
Posted Sunday March 5 2006, 8:06 pm
My mom has a drinking problem. She has gotten drunk at least 3 or 4 times. I hate it when she gets drunk. My sister and I told her to not buy wine again and she promised she wouldn't, but tonight she was got drunk because she has been hiding wine from us. The next day she ALWAYS denies it. What should I do to make her admit that she lied and to make her stop??

Didn't get to go to my dad's funeral
Posted Sunday March 5 2006, 2:06 pm
My dad pasted away Thursday and his funeral was on Saturday (yesterday). I was out of town when he died and my mom told me that if I wasn't able to get back on Saturday before the funeral that she would post-pone it. I was able to find a plan back Friday night so I called her and told her that she didn't need to post-pone anything.
Well, my plan was delayed until Saturday morning. When I called her then, my Aunt picked up (my dad's sister not my mom's) and told me that it was too late to push anything back because everything was ready. I asked to speak with my mom and she wouldn't let me. I couldn't reach anyone else so I was forced to miss it! If that isn't the most fucked up thing ever I don't know what is. My mom...

hes so annoying
Posted Friday March 3 2006, 2:59 pm
my moms bf irritates the HELL out of me, like you have no idea. one time after i was getting over a fever we were going out my mom was like "do you want to take your coat" and im like "no im fine" and hes like "even IM taking my coat" and im like "okay..." and he's like "fine, stay sick if you want, i dont care" and i seriously wanted to backhand him. like, he doesnt even DO anything for me when im sick so why should i give a shit weather he "cares" if im sick or not. i dont think he was intentionally trying to be so bitchy but he seriously does that all the time and, to me, i dont see him as someone that has any authority over me since they've only been dating for 5 months or so. ...

Long Question, angry, sad, and confused about brother
Posted Friday March 3 2006, 4:31 am
Warning ahead of time, this will be long.
I am 22 years old. My brother is 21. He still lives at home with our mother and I am out on my own in another city and going to college. Things were o.k. between us (somewhat fizzling but still ok) until I moved out, which was this past October. My friend is also his friend and he told her that he thinks I should not be allowed back at the house ever again. Every time I have visited, he locks himself in his room and turns off the light and will not come out to eat or use the bathroom or anything because I am there. My mom and I were having a good time once when I was visiting and when I left he put her through a guilt trip saying how could she just ignore him and have such a good tim...

Parents VS The Boyfriend
Posted Friday March 3 2006, 12:31 am
I haven't been with my boyfriend that long, but my parents haven't really met him before. They'd like to get to know him, but he doesn't seem to keen on the idea.
I'm having iffy thoughts too - like, I don't doubt that my parents would love him, but they kind of embarrass me on different levels...lol.
But on the other hand I kind of want them to meet him and see what they think. On another hand, I want them to meet him so they'll shut up about wanting to meet him.
I apparently have three hands...^^
My parents wanna take us to dinner, and just like, talk. I have a good relationship with them. I listen to their opinion and go and do whatever I want anyway. They've learned to live with it.
Anyway, do you ...

dads and boyfriends
Posted Thursday March 2 2006, 10:23 pm
okay, so, my dad is totally changing his views on everything now, and I don't really know how to talk to him like I used to. I mean, I could tell him anything, and now its just kinda weird. He won't let me read Seventeen until he cuts some "articles he doesn't want me to see" out. He says that I am not allowed to date (whereas in 4th grade I had a boyfriend and him and my stepmom would always be like "did you call him yet" and stuff). Him and my stepmom used to ask me how to have kids on the sims, i am not even allowed to make my sims kiss now (which I do anyways, but still). They used to be so cool and all, but now they are so overprotective. I don't go to school (homeschooled) so I don't have those kind of problems. Th...
