To move or not to move to be closer to my children and soon to be grandchild?
Posted Wednesday May 9 2012, 6:40 pm
Hello,
I live in Mississippi. My two sons live in Illinois. They have both recently been married. One is expecting a baby. Should I sell my home down south and move up north to be closer to my children or should I stay where I am? It is much cheaper for me to live down south, however, a grandchild is on the way. I just don't know what I should do. Please advise.
Thank you

Why am I so nervous & shy around family I don't know. How can I stop?
Posted Sunday May 6 2012, 11:51 am
A lot of the time when socialising with people I don't know i can't make eye contact, i start shaking and i stutter when i speak. I'm really scared of what people will be thinking, and what they will think if they notice i'm nervous, i'm fine around family members i live with and the ones I know, but everybody else i'm really nervous around, it's not a phobia of going outside, it's just socialising.. I have family members that I'm not that close to that think I don't like them or I'm weird or something cause I dont say Hi to them. I have an uncle that asks my dad why I don't say Hi to him. I always get nervous cause I really don't know him and I am weird around people that aren't close to me. I want to have a normal conversation wit...

i'm suffocating in my house.
Posted Friday May 4 2012, 11:17 am
I am a college student & almost 20 years old. I have friends, but rarely get to see them. My mom doesn't really like me going anywhere, & when I do she yells at me & won't talk to me for days. I make plans to go see friends away at school & she even gives me all these ideas on how to get there & what to take, etc. & then the very last minute, is all "nooo, you can't go." She does this with any plans I make! & I always end up canceling. I've lost a decent amount of friends because of this.
I sit home every weekend, & I am so bored & unhappy all the time, because I never do anything. & I don't mean like staying out all night or something, I mean simple things, like going shoppin...

Am I overreacting?
Posted Thursday May 3 2012, 11:52 pm
My husbands father is a US Marshal. A couple of days ago my husband said to me "So, you know that if your sisters boyfriend has any warrants, don't be surprised if he gets arrested." I was really confused. I know that my sisters boyfriend sells marijuana and random pills. He's been doing it forever. I know that he's been to jail twice, the cops have raided his house one time. Anyways, today, my father in law calls and said to my husband that he looked up all the information my husband asked him too. He (my husband) gets off the phone and was like "He's been arrested before and your sister was listed as a suspect in a robbery." I was like "uh, where did you hear that!? I'm pretty sure I would know something like that...

My sister and I dont get alng
Posted Thursday May 3 2012, 1:23 pm
My sister is 8 years older than me, I am the youngest of 3. She has a drinking problem and kissed my fiance on the lips and said it wasn't sexual, and passed it off like it was nothing. I got upset and left her house, we haven't talked in a few months now, I called her to talk to her about what happened and said I dis-respected her by not cleaning up my step-kids plates( which in fact I did so)Basically, I think its just an excuse because I am right and she is wrong and is too suborn to apologize to me. She lies to my parents about my fiance putting words in his mouth that he talks bad about my parents, which they obviously don't believe her. We are getting married next year and well she really doesn't seem to care. Any advice on this situation?
Thanks

I don't want my boyfriend to meet my whole family
Posted Tuesday May 1 2012, 4:22 pm
My family is really big, loud, eccentric and crazy. I'm afraid that if I introduce my boyfriend to them they might do something or say something embarrassing. My grandmother likes to tell personal business and embarrassing stuff that I don't want my boyfriend to hear. My dad is overprotective and most of my family members blab about stuff that they shouldn't. Even if you tell them not to say anything embarrassing, they will pop out with something embarrassing. I have loud cousins that might say something embarrassing. I don't even want them to know I have a boyfriend. My mom & dad like to ask people personal questions. My little cousin is just a drama queen and a brat. I know if my boyfriend meets my family he will think...

My dads in prison.
Posted Monday April 30 2012, 3:01 am
I haldnt spoken to my father in seven years. I am thirteen years old. My mother was only fifteen and my dad was nineteen. When I was around three my father was charged with armed robbery in nj so he fled to florida. Before I stopped speaking to him he only called me twice a year(if that) and I watched my mother and grandmother struggle to raise me without any help from my dad which is why I stopped speaking to him. Five years ago my mother met my stepdad and he's amazing. In those five years he has been more of a father to me than my biological father has been in thirteen years. Anyways my aunt recently called to tell me that the cops went to look for him in florida and he is now in jail in nj. She says that he told her to tell me that he l...

Overbearing / over emotional mother?
Posted Sunday April 29 2012, 9:16 pm
I am a 20 year old, semi-independent college student. I live with my father across the country from where I originally grew up. We moved when I was in 7th grade, and while the move was tough on me at first I quickly started feeling perfectly at home in my new state. I am now in my second year of college and would say that I definitely have a life here that I am not going to leave. The problem is with my mom's emotional well-being. I understand that she misses me, but it is her fault that I had to move away in the first place. We're on good terms now and we talk often enough (a couple texts during week days, sometimes a phone call every once in awhile). She has this unhealthy fixation on me moving back in with her though that makes me really...

Taking Your Cousin to Prom (actually JR/SR)
Posted Monday April 23 2012, 2:40 pm
So, no one asked me to JR/SR (our school's version of prom). As a junior, I went by myself last year and hung out with my friend (a girl) who went solo as well. It wasn't especially fun because the couples sort of isolated themselves from the singles. This year, I don't really want to go by myself but the only other girl in my class who is going by herself is "going" with a girl in the JR class and then meeting up with another girl and guy in my class who are going together as a couple. But, the JR girl and the guy in my class are then coupling up b/c they like each other. So, if I went with them, I would kind of being a third(or fifth) wheel. And, the only two or three guys in my class who I don't know for sure have dates a...

Sons wife wont allow me to see him alone
Posted Sunday April 22 2012, 8:05 pm
My son is an extremely immature 29 year old he lacks self discipline, coping skills, etc. He married a 46 year old woman. He's been married 4 1/2 years. I have only spoke to her on the phone when they are having problems. I have never incouraged him to leave her only to work on it, go to counseling etc if he's in love. It took a year before he told me they married. Another year to tell me how old she was and i have never seen a picture of her. I finally met her this week. I live 800 miles from my son. I already knew there had to be issues (we all have them) for her to want to deal with his attitudes and character defects. She is so so so jealous she wouldn't allow him to see alot of the time they were here and she wouldnot let me alone...

Does my mom hate me?
Posted Sunday April 22 2012, 2:35 pm
My mom and I used to go out on weekends. Not every weekend but if our schedules meet, we would go to a mall or dine out. It's sort of our way in bonding.
A few years back we discovered that my dad--her husband had an affair and they had a child. It was rough but now I can say that my mom's already recovered but I think one of her ways dealing with our problem then was she'd go out with her friends or just play mahjong with them.
I was very supportive of her because I know she's hurting and was trying to move on but now I asked her a couple of times to go out again, just to hang out but she'll always say she's too lazy to go or just not in the mood. But if her friends would call her she's always ready.
