sister says dad molested her
Posted Thursday January 30 2014, 10:53 pm
So, my dad went to prison 14 years ago (unrelated to any of this) and just got out last month. He's made attempts to contact me and my brother; we both decided to have dinner with him and have already done that.
My sister, for many years, has said that our dad molested her for years. None of this was investigated, there were no witnesses, it's all on her word.
It's an awful situation. I feel a huge loyalty to my sister, I love her so much obviously. I can only imagine what it'd be like, the betrayal to see your bothers do that to you and be around your molester. However, no one knows this actually happened, and I feel like it'd be unfair to cut my dad out of my life because of my sister's, well frankly, accusations.

My Dad is a Jerk!
Posted Tuesday January 21 2014, 8:35 pm
My dad is SUCH a mean, inconsiderate jerk. I wish I'd written this last night because I'm dying for someone to give me advice right now. I also wish I could tell you
all about my family history, but I'll try to keep it short.
My granddad (mom's dad) is in the hospital right now and my dad's being a jerk about it. I grew up with my grandparents living about a block from my home. They were a part of our daily lives. They helped raise me and my sister and have done an awful lot for all of us that we should be grateful for, as has my mom's entire family basically.
After my grandmother died, my sister and I were grown and she had moved away, but I was still in town and helped my mom take care of my granddad d...

Confused and lost
Posted Tuesday January 21 2014, 12:15 am
I have a religious family. I'm Gay and My family knows but pretend it's not there. I'm 22 years old and the guy I date is 33years old. I want my family to meet him. But, I'm afraid that my family wouldn't want to have anything to deal with me anymore after I tell them that i'm gay and officially in a relationship with a guy. My grandparents are my pastors and i'm not sure what to do. I can't help that i'm gay it's not a choice. I have tried to change whom I am. Plenty of times and Nothing has changed. I haven't seen my family for about 2 close to 3 months now. I have a niece who is 4years old and is my world and my nephew is almost a year old and he is my world. I'm not sure who to turn too and who would be there for me when they disown me....

My BF is not the same race as me,I don't know if family will accept him.
Posted Friday January 3 2014, 3:55 pm
My boyfriend keeps insisting on meeting my family. afraid that if I introduce my boyfriend to them they might do something or say something racist. Not all of them are racist, but most are. They say racist stuff all the time. They don't know I have a boyfriend. My boyfriend is an amazing guy around my age and we love each other. He's patient, honest, treats me with the utmost care and respect. He has an accent and his culture is very different from mine.
My family has said racist things about people of his race and some of them think that you shouldn't date out of your race. Even if I tell them not to embarrass me they probably will do it anyway. My grandmother is very outspoken. I know they will all gossip and have somethin...

Multi personality disorder? Bipolar? I don't know what's wrong with my Dad.
Posted Tuesday December 31 2013, 3:44 pm
My dad has been and still is a great guy. He loves me very much although he isn't very fond of anyone excluding my Mom, sister, and I. Even though he doesn't "like" much anyone else my friends see him as a happy, sociable person on the outside and he also is very friendly towards most strangers and likes to make small talk with them. He's also successful at his job. This is the side of him that I love so much. But this side of him quickly deteriorates instantly when one little thing comes out of place. He will pout and be extremely aggressive fighting with my mom and storming up to his room to brood for hours. Over the years it had only seemed to have gotten worse. He refuses to think there is something wrong with him and will swi...

My mother is having an affair.
Posted Saturday December 28 2013, 9:54 pm
I am in a very difficult situation. At the moment, I am living at home with my parents on some time off from school. About two months ago it was revealed that my mother was having an affair. My parents decided to work things out, and my father in particular has being working very hard to try to improve their marriage. Today, my mother came home from visiting her brother and informed me that she would be going back out later. I asked, out of curiosity, where she was going. She replied that she was "Seeing a friend." It is very unlike her to respond in such a way, as I've met all of her friends and normally she would be more specific. After she left I logged into our cell phone provider's website and looked at her phone records. I ...

My Mom is Basically Heart-broken
Posted Wednesday December 25 2013, 4:04 pm
I am a 22 year-old college student, and I live at home with my parents and my grandmother. My 28 year-old older sister lives away from home, and is in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend of four years.
Today I went to mass with my mom, and I never noticed how badly my sister's situation affected her. For awhile she told told me that she chose not to get involved in the situation, and that my sister made her choice. In her opinion, she chose her boyfriend over the family.
Before leaving mass she suggested that I light a candle for my paternal grandmother who passed away in February, and since I know the kind of relationship that she holds with members of that side of the family I was kind of puzzled. So I...

Why is my grandma racist? Is it because she isnt from this generation?
Posted Monday December 23 2013, 3:52 pm
My grandmother is mexican and I think she is racist. She used to talk bad about my mom in spanish all of time. She stopped when she found out my mom speaks spanish and her and my mom have had arguments. She told my dad that she didn't want him to be with my mom because she's black. This just really bothers me. I don't like to be around her cause I think she's racist and she doesn't like my mom. I don't like to go to her house, but she is my grandma. Should I ignore her?

I sent my step dad to prison
Posted Sunday December 22 2013, 7:36 pm
About 10 years ago (for a few years) my step dad used to touch me in all the wrong places and he told me to not tell my mum, so until a few months ago I was still scared to say anything but then one night I just came out with it and explained everything to my mum, she was angry but not at me but at herself for letting it happen. Since iv told her everything I was worried about happening has happened, my younger brother and sister arnt allowed to see their dad, I feel so bad about this because I wish my dad made the effort and iv taken away their father who loved them, I was worried for my little sister and didn't feel so bad after the police revealed he still had child porn on the computer.
But I didn't want to take it to the police...

my mother doesnt want me happy
Posted Thursday December 19 2013, 11:42 pm
hello there---
over the summer i met this guy lets call him J. At first i was dating my now ex boyfriend so i didnt pay much attention to J until later on in July. He made me feel like the most beautiful and wanted person in the whole world. So much so that i even invited him over my home.
I met J online, over tumblr through a video game and we video chat regularly. I knew what he looked like, not who he was. He claimed he loved me, I thought he was nuts. That is until i developed strong feelings for him. As of now we are dating, long distance, about six hours away from each other.
My mother knows who he his, but not KNOW who he is... if that makes sense. She claims I dont know him, that he is a ...

My parents hate my boyfriend and won't let me see him?
Posted Monday December 9 2013, 10:33 pm
I've known him for 5 months. He's an incredibly sweet, kind, caring, and genuine guy. He's older than me and lives far away. My parents don't care about the age difference but don't believe that he has a good enough job for someone of his age. They think that I can't possibly know him (because of the distance) and don't know what kind of family he comes from etc.
He's come to visit me multiple times since we met. These visits are really expensive because he has to get a hotel. If I were to visit him it would be a lot cheaper because I could stay at his apartment, or even at my friends apartment which is 45 mins away from his.
I'm 18 years old but am still dependent on my parents. They said that if I go visit ...

Am I Supposed to Love My Adopted Son Like My Other Children?
Posted Sunday December 8 2013, 8:58 pm
Please don't think I'm a bad person. I know this is such an awful question to ask and I would never ask it if I was adopting a baby. I don't really see the difference between a baby you have and a baby you adopt, but imagine that you were adopting an older child. Like a pre-teen? I'm asking because that's the situation I may be in.
I want to love this kid more than my life. I want to take this child who has never been loved by anyone before and shower him with love. I want to love him so much that I would die for him without even having to think about it. However, what would it say about me to love him as much as my other kids who have been with me since I held their little naked bodies in my arms shortly after their births? ...
