What do I do?
Posted Thursday May 26 2005, 10:06 pm
My name is Jack and I'm 22. Sorry if this is long but I really need the help. I recently found out that I have a 15 year old half sister named sarah. I've been searching for her for a long time and I finally found her. Well when I first saw her I noticed that she had scars on her arms that I think were from cutting herself. The more I talked to her the more I noticed something was wrong. At first she wasn't saying much I figured that was normal I mean she had never met me before and she had just found out that I was her half brother. I've been seeing her everyday for about 2 weeks now and she still seems really nervous like she's almost afriad to get to know me. I've also been trying to meet my father but evertime I go to see him she comes ...

sister issues
Posted Wednesday May 25 2005, 12:06 am
I am constantly insulted by my sister. Before, she would make fun of me, which I would just shrug off, but lately, its been getting to a point where I just feel like there is no point to anything. I cant even cry when she says things to me, I just shut down, and let her go on and on.
Like tonight, I walked into the living room, and she began to swear at me. She said that I am a psycho, and that she cannot wait for me to leave for school (college in the fall) because I am worthless. I have not even said anything to her at all at this point, I really don't know what I did.
What I really dont understand is how she will talk to me one night insultingly, and then the next day she wants me to go shopping with h...

Will she be safe?
Posted Tuesday May 24 2005, 3:02 pm
Ok I am 16/m and my father recently passed away. He was the only one taking care of me and my little sister, Sarah.(my mother diched us when Sarah was born.) Sarah is only 6 and I've been trying to take care of her and myself but it's not working. We don't have any other relatives that she can go live with and I can't keep taking care of her. My school counselor has been trying to help us anyway he can and he recommended handing her over to the state. He said that it would be easier on the both of us if I did and it would give her a chance at a better life. He said that there a lot of foster families out there who end up adopting the children that they take in. Does anyone know how the "system" works? I mean if I do give her to th...

"Cinderella"... sorry it's so long.
Posted Monday May 23 2005, 3:44 pm
Ok,I didn't know what category to put this question under, but I guess that doesn't really matter right now. My life is falling apart.
My parents are getting a divorce, because my older half sister and nephew (they're in rehab) are planning on moving in with us (she'd take my car and my room) and my mom doesn't want her to. My Dad feels it's his duty as her father. They'd already been having problems, and my mother's set of parents (my last set of grandparents) are dying, and she'd been really depressed lately. My mom decided the best way to get over it is to leave and go to Washington. None of us know exactly where.
So now, in since my Dad is in Michigan a lot, for his job, it is up to me to run a whole hou...

Mother?
Posted Monday May 23 2005, 3:39 pm
Ok, I never knew my parents I guess my mom was a druggie and my dad was a pimp so they didn't really want a kid around. Well because of that I've been in "the system" for my whole life. I've been in and out of foster families and only 2 of them have ever considered adoption. Well I've been staying with this family for 2 years now. It's really great I absolutely love it they're so nice and they really make me feel like I'm their child. Well my mom (foster mother) was considering adopting me, she sent away for the papers and she was really thinking about doing it. But then my mother (birth mother) showed up. She said that she's cleaned up and that she wants to be able to raise and spend time with her daughter. I've never met my moth...

Substance Abuse Problem
Posted Monday May 23 2005, 12:49 pm
My dad has a substance abuse problem. But he won't admit it. In fact, he lies about it and says he doesn't do anything! My dad uses chewing tobacco. That's not TOO bad, but he swallows it. And he goes through a can in a day and a half. If you're familiar, chewing tobacco (Copenhagen) is just as expensive as a pack of cigarettes. My family lives on a farm, we have farm animals, and we're not rich. We don't have the extra pocket money to buy things like tobacco. I've tried to get my dad to stop. Not only is it irritating that he lies and says he doesn't use tobacco, he's putting his health in danger. My family wouldn't be able to make it if he were to die – we'd have no source of income. I've tried talking to my dad, I've tried talking to m...

Italian daughter
Posted Sunday May 22 2005, 8:25 pm
My husband and I were born, raised and married in Italy. We moved to Houston, TX together in 1994 and had our daughter in 1996. She currently goes to a multi-cultural school where she has befriended many Bosnian girls. I never gave a second thought to the fact that the majority of her friends are Bosnian. Well, not until this morning. She came up to me and told me that she loves Bosnia and wishes she was Bosnian.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the people, country, or culture. I adore being around her friends and their parents. I just fear that my child is losing her Italian background. How can I get her excited about the Italian culture again?
She is currently 9-years-old.

brother's rage or just puberty?
Posted Sunday May 22 2005, 5:55 pm
My brother is 12 years old. A couple years back, we would always get into fights and I would always yell at him back. He would just take it in, or cry. Lately, everytime we get into a fight..he get's VERY physical and will fight for whatever he says! He is very violent..(he will climb on you and jump and scratch the heck out of you)It's starting to scare me because I can't even yell over him anymore. He's only 12 and I think he needs anger management! My parents think it's my fault because I make him mad first..but the only reason I yell at him is to set him right. He is VERY out of control when he's mad and he cries ALOT. Please give advice.. i don't know how to take this anymore..(I would hit and scratch him back..but that would only make...
