Grown daughter, Anxiety Drugs... She's Losing her Life!
Posted Tuesday August 10 2010, 2:20 pm
I have a 40 year old daughter. She is on anxiety medication. Being on this medication she lost her marriage and her children age 13 and 9. I tried to help her and she told me I am trying to run her life. I am trying to get her back on tract she is homeless now. She is living with a girlfriend and the children don't want to live there with her. They want to stay in there own house with there father. She is also turning the children against me. She has a lot of health problems. I wanted to go to the doctor's with her to discuss her medical problem and she said no. How do I find out what medication she is on? As far as I know she is taking Paxil and quetiapine. And occasionally drinks Vodka.

My older brother is annoying
Posted Tuesday August 10 2010, 12:52 am
I have problem with my older brother. He is 18, lives at home, and goes to community college. "Steve" also has a part time job where he earns little money. My problem is that he is lazy, rude, selfish, and inconsiderate to name a few things. He does almost no chores, leaves messes everywhere, and uses and steals my things without my permission. He gets defensive when ever I or my parents mention these things. He won't even look for his own place or a better job. Is there anything I can do? He is getting on everyone's nerves and I would really appreciate some advice.

What to do.
Posted Friday August 6 2010, 2:26 pm
OK Folks, here's the deal. I currently receive over $600 a month in social security benefits due to my disabilities with Autism and Scoliosis. I am still living at home with mom who has absolutely no income. I carry a job as well too, but of course it doesn't pay me enough. But anyways, I still live with mom who has absolutely no income which means that I have to pay all of the bills and as a result, usually I do not have any leftover money to spend. I recently had a discussion with my dad about some of the issues I've been going through and wanting to be on my own. He said if I lived with him that I wouldn't have to pay any rent to him, but I've also heard too that because of that statement and the fact that there's high income coming in f...

Any advice will be greatfully excepted.

I have the babybug
Posted Monday July 26 2010, 11:07 pm
when i was 15, i had the babybug. it was almost aching, i wanted to have a baby so bad. it lasted for about 4 months and then disappeared for a while. now i'm 17 and its back, but its much worse. i have a boyfriend and we're active. we use protection sometimes, but most of the time we don't. everytime we dont, i have this instant spark of hope that maybe this might be the time that i finally get pregnant. i know, i'm young. i'm almost in my senior year of highschool and i know it'd completely ruin my life if i had a kid now, but i don't care at all. i'd be a great mother. i'm at the point right now where i don't even want to live anymore unless i have something to live for, and in this case, that something would be a baby. i keep having urg...

My dad is a cheater, we have no relationship.
Posted Monday July 26 2010, 9:37 pm
Im 18, going to college in a month. My brother is already away at college, my parents have been married for 25 years. i know my dad is cheating. I have told my brother, but i havent told my mom because there is a very strong sense in me that my dad will kill himself or hurt himself if someone were to find out.. which happened to my best friends dad. It doesnt matter what other people say, in my head im 150% that it'd happen. because i know hes cheating and have to watch him lie to me and my mom every day, i have no trust from him. Our relationship was great before, we were with together every day. now, were never together unless its a family function, and we dont even talk. i know hes lying to me, and everytime he does i wanna snap on him a...

Father daughter quote
Posted Saturday July 24 2010, 10:35 pm
Me and my parents have been through A LOT over the years, and they are letting me get a tattoo for my 16th birthday in september. Since my mom is pregnant and wants to wait until she loses the weight to get a tatto, I'm getting one with my father. I'm looking for a good quote to get as a tattoo, probably on my right shoulder. If you have mother or father quotes, or both, it'd be great! Thanks! (I'm also already looking online!)

My mom never listens to me.
Posted Saturday July 24 2010, 12:02 am
I'm 18 years old and my never listens to my opinions, thoughts, wants. I turned 18 recently and I said I absolutely did not did not did not want a birthday party. Since I hang out with a lot of different groups of people, my friends do not know eachother. There was a total of 5 people there. My friend only invited the people she knows I talk to. The one girl I barely even talk to anymore. It wasn't really even a party because only two people got me gifts. It was just lame. Also, I've been wanting a dog and my mom agreed to it. I really wanted a yorkie, but my mom insisted on a Maltese. My mom is annoying and whines and pouts till she gets her way. What do I do????!

is my daughter obsessed with me?
Posted Friday July 23 2010, 12:30 pm
Our family was staying overnight at friends, and we all just crashed in the livingroom. I ended up between my teen daughter and son. During the night she kept really snuggling up to me and holding me tight. I would push her away and turn her around, and then she took my hand and placed it on her boob. I pull my arm away, and put it out far. This kept happening over and over. At one point I awoke to feel her body quivering and she is rubbing her legs together on me/beside me, and she had put my hand on her boob again. I pushed her legs away from me to get her to stop and placed her hands on her belly. I got up and went outside, had a smoke to try and figure out wtf was happening. Came back in and fell asleep for couple of hours on the f...

Posted Thursday July 22 2010, 6:15 pm
Several months ago our 14 year old nephew threatened to kill his 12 year old sister. He was sent to a mental hospital for 2 weeks of mental evaluations. He has been diagnosed with a slew of mental disorders and is on the edge. To keep his sister safe he has been living with his grandparents who have voiced concern for their safety. This is my husbands parents and he wants us to go visit them this August. We have two daughters 13 and 5. I have voiced concern to him that I don't want to put our girls in danger and that I don't want to go. He says he's been talking to his parents and they say our nephew is getting better, but I still don't want to take any chances. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings, but this could turn out badly if...

I feel so guilty.
Posted Tuesday July 20 2010, 2:19 pm
I'm 18, and I just graduated high school six months ago. This past weekend we had my graduation party. After the party I went to my aunts house to hang out with her and her husband, and my other aunt, and their friend. He's 32. I had a few drinks and they asked me to drive their friend home. Well he was drunk, and I was a little buzzed, but we left the house and decided to crash a party across the street. We had a drink there, but the party was pretty boring so we decided to go to a different party. Well he suggested we have a few drinks at his place so I wouldn't risk getting in trouble with the police. So he and I were sitting at his place drinking and one thing led to another and we had sex. I'm feeling so guilty because he's my aunt's f...

I can't stand my moms boyfriend.
Posted Sunday July 18 2010, 11:55 am
seriously, I can't stand him.
he has NO personality, you try to joke with him he takes it seriously & gets mad.
he doesn't get along with my sister & he's completely ruined the relationship between my mom & my sister.
his wife died in 2005, his wife & my mom were best friends before she died. now he's dating my mom, I lost all respect for him after that.
He smokes in the house ALL the time, he knows I don't like it, my mom tried talking to him about it, to try and take it outside but all he said was "I was smoking in the house before she moved in, so she'll just have to learn to get used to it."
My mom used to never drink before she date...
