Hi everyone, i’m really worried about my mom, can someone please help me out? Mature only please ..?

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

So my mom is a very good woman, but unfortunatly hasn’t made the right decisions all the time. We around 3 years ago we bought a house, and we could afford it, but now that the economy is so bad it is like we are living out of our means, and my parents don’t want to lose the house, and I understand that the bills and mortgage are first prioraty.

My mom is VERY upset because she is not going to be able to affored to give us a good christmas this year. my little brother is 5 and my sister is 12. I am 18 now, so I DO NOT expect ANYTHING! My mom doesn’t understand this because she was still getting gifts at 18 with her parents. So she is really bent out of shape over this whole christmas thing, and she reallly wants me to have some stuff, as well as the other siblings. I keep telling her no but she gets so upset.

My mom does home day care because it is the best paying job that she can get at this point, and I think it is really really getting to her. I am so scared for her heath because she is on anti depressants and other types of medication, and she is taking over the recommended doses at times, she also has started to drink heavily after wook and on the weekends, because she says it takes her stress away, but honestly, I grew up with an alcholalic and drug addict father, he is clean now as far as drugs, but he still drinks everyday when he gets home from work. I don’t want my little brother and sister to have to go through the same thing .. my mom is not herself when she drinks ..

Can someone please help me? Give me some suggestions how to deal with the problems we are facing as a family. I go to counciling, and I think it would really help my mom, too. Even my dad if he would be willing to go. I really need some help because my mom says if things keep going the way they are going she is going to break down .. and I feel the same way. I cannot take this anymore and this is not a joke, or anything like that. It is true comming from the heart.

thanks ..
By the way, my mom is also very, very tired all the time. I know daycare is a hard job, but it seems like she is in bed by 7:30 or 8:00 everynight .. it is like she doesn’t have a life anymore. On the weekends she sleeps for sometimes the entire weekend.
Just wanted to let you guys all know that i’m reading every answer, all the advise is great and thank you so much for taking me seriously, and taking the time to read what I wrote.

My new puppy won’t drink water. He is still with mother, and will eat food, but won’t drink water. Help please

Monday, August 15th, 2011

My new puppy is 5 1/2 weeks old, and is currently being wiened from the mother. He is a full blood Chihuahua. He will not drink water. We’ve given it to him in multiple forms and dishes, but he will not drink water. He keeps going back to the mother to nurse, but she isn’t really letting him anymore, I’m worried that he might get dehydrated if he doesn’t drink something soon.

Any real suggestions would be greatly appriciated!!! Thank you!

God has not answered me, can you please? (pregnancy/women/recovered alcoholics)?

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

My husband and I have not in any way shape or form TTC. We just had our second daughter October 2010, she is 9 months old now. The recent years I have recovered from severe alcoholism. I had a traumatic upbringing and dealt with alot of issues. Needless to say When I met my husband (at the time bf) he helped me to get my life back. I joined counseling, therapy and AA. I had the occassional slip ups, nothing serious or devastating (never had alcohol poisoning) Stayed clean my whole pregnancies and even 4 months prior to conceive. I have always been about my family and children, their safety and well being. Judge if you please, This past period since the birth of my daughter I have began drinking again (lost my grandfather and mother) its started off once in awhile (breastfed first 3months) then progressively became worse, binge drinking every other week….then every two-three days. This was a slow progression over the past 9 months, I am now 6 weeks pregnant, I have just found out as I was not TTC and have irregular periods. The past 4 days Im having nightmares non stop of my baby and what I could have done to harm her or him. It is eating me up inside and I am just sick. I started AA again and I assure you I will never drink again. The past 6 weeks I can honestly say I drank about 15 times. Not any hard liquor at all, Im a beer and wine drinker and have exceeded 5 drinks per incident. can anyone at all relate ? can anyone give me a piece of mind? I know their are others whom did not know and have done things as well they wouldnt of had they known, any other recovering alcoholics? Praying to God every night, asking for answers and relief while I have nightmares of miscarrying or contemplating abortion. Please someone help…

I don’t want my mother at my wedding please help?

Friday, July 29th, 2011

My Mother is a alcholic and a drug addict and I’m afraid she would ruin my wedding if she was invited. I love her dearly but she is notorious for bad behavior at public events . I’m afraid that if I don’t invite her she will be crushed but at the same time I don’t want her making an ass out of herself at my wedding.

Kind of up the creek here. . .advice please!?

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Okay, I’ll make this as short as possible…

I was with a guy for a year and a half, he was struggling with alcoholism and I went through hell. The last time he went on a bender, I promised myself that I wouldn’t go through it again. I suffer from severe depression and take anti depressants, and it’s been really bad the past few months. Recently I decided to take a 2 week course to become a paramedic, and I left the town my ex and I lived in to come take the course in the town my family lives in, to visit them and get a break from him. As soon as I left he started drinking again, and basically kicked me out, and was threatening to throw all my stuff out and hurt my cat while I was gone.

So now I have no place to live, no job, and no money saved up because I wasn’t working for awhile because of the depression. I can’t stay with my family because there’s no room for me and my mother lives in a senior’s building that doesn’t allow pets – and they’re not very supportive anyway.

All my stuff is still back at my ex’s place (formerly my place), and I have no way of getting it out of there since I don’t have a big enough vehicle.

So, advice is most welcome at this point!

Thanks in advance.

Serious answers only please! What would you do if your sister-in-law was addicted to meth…..?

Friday, July 15th, 2011

and your brother had the 3 kids. He is living with my mother with the 3 kids because she kicked them ALL out so she could play with her new found drug friends. The kids, 1, 2 & 7 are thankfully safe with my brother and mom but he still lets her see the kids over night when she wants them. This is all very new and the kids don’t want to go but my brother thinks he should play nice until he files for full custody and divorce. I think he should put his foot down and refuse her the right to see her kids!!! I also want to call the police on her and keep calling until something is done!!! I don’t live around them so it’s hard to be hands on but I just feel like my brother is being too nice!!! HELP! What should we do? Should I step in or stay out? What legally can he do right now???????? This is destroying him!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
WOW…powerful answers!! Thank you. As I sit here in tears I wanted to add that I have made a call to CPS and they said there is nothing they can do unless the kids are being abused!! That’s crazy!!!!! I know some of you think I need to step back and let the Lord work, and I know your right, but my heart is in it for the kids and if if they were mine I’d run to the ends of the earth to protect them!!!!! Thanks again and I love ya for showing so much compassion!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, my brother just quite his job because she wasn’t watching the kids, but taking them to daycare so she could “party all day and my brother couldn’t afford the $500. a week in child care!!!!! He now is going back to his old job to he could be home with them…………can he ask the cops to go over there and do a weelfare check if she has the kids?

Giant Octopus Ride:

When my real dad came for my tenth birthday
he put the blue bulb in the porch light
then told my mother we would be out late but safe.

Each year we walked at dusk
when we could slither under the side fence.

On the inside I was a colonel
who knew every funhouse shortcut
and every haunted castle scare.

I knew how to spot my house from the top of the ferris wheel;
I knew why the men stood by the carousel platform looking up;
I knew where the air would smell like cotton candy,
where it would smell like deep fried crab,
where it would smell like urine,
but this year I didn’t know where
the giant octopus ride came from.

I hated how its green metallic paint
made the other rides pale and sun bleached,
how its blazing eyes and tentacles outshined midway,
how its rock and roll soundtrack echoed throughout the park
at the expense of the folk and country songs I had memorized.

My dad’s whiskey breath reached me.

Your tall enough aren’t cha?

I don’t care.

Got a sawbuck if you don’t cry or throw up.

Mom give you that money to spend on me.

Hell, you ride it and I’ll let you drink half a beer

I shook his hand hard like I was supposed to
and marched toward the ride.

I waited 20 minutes,
kicking up dirt, spitting,
tightening and retightening
my belt and shoe laces.

At ride entrance my crown was even with the stick

Not tall enough, next

I’m at the line

Gotta be above the line

Girls start giggling behind me.
I slump aside,
let tears create avenues in cheek dust.
I see dad in the distance,
leaning back hard on a plastic bench
cowboy hat cocked down
sharing a cigarette
with a high school girl
Dad! Dad!
he never looked.

When I came back he shrugged,
put the 10 in his pocket,
pointed me off to the ferris wheel.

At the ferris wheel
I planned to give 4 tickets for my own carriage
but when I saw a girl, my age, waiting for a partner
I changed my mind and handed the carney 2.

While on the ride
I spotted my dad
sipping flask whiskey and smoking.

I imagined what would of happened if he had
heard me yell.

I pictured it rough.
My dad pushing the carney to the ground,
pouring his whiskey on the control panel,
where it would spark
the dying cough of dynamos,
I envisioned the ride going black,
midway regaining glory,
country music once again echoing proudly.

I become present near the ferris wheel peak;
my voice cracks as I tell the girl
the blue porch light is my house;
I point to it, but it’s not there,
the lights from the giant octopus ride
have swallowed it with brightness,
she simply smiles and asks,
Would you like a piece of my funnel cake?

I WANT TO RUN AWAY and need advice. Please read the whole story xx?

Friday, July 8th, 2011

PLEASE please read it all, i need advice so that i do this right. and so you understand.

so throughout my life very bad things have happened to me. So many memories of being abused and neglected by my mother.
getting a second degree burn on my arm and her telling me to put water on it and leave her be. Memories of being left alone in the foster care system after countless promises of her to get clean and get a job.
The day in the court room when my father was sent to prison for using and dealing drugs.
The foster homes that i was just beginning to love before i had to go and find a new one.
When i moved into my aunts house and her son verbally bullied me and made me cry. her doing nothing to stop it.
The teachers eyes when i had to share something about my family life in class.
The day that my aunt promised to give me back to my dad, but when she stood in the court she agreed to become my legal guardian.
The nights i spent alone in our house in Temecula, mary having to work two jobs.
Me eventually finding a new home where the people accepted me and loved me, like an adopted family in replacement for my lonely one back home. but no, the rent went up again, and we couldn’t find a new house in time before we starved.
so we moved 140 miles away from L.A. where my original family lives (just when we are starting to heal the wounds too) to the desert of 29 palms -a military town-.
when i moved here i fell into a deep depression after having to leave the only family that seemed to love me unconditionally (temecula).
but after about a year out here i decided i didn’t want to be unhappy anymore, so i stopped crying at night and tried to block it out, or bury it deep inside myself so that nobody could see.
and my emotions never got out of hand again. my friends all teased me about how i didn’t really ever get mad anymore or even get angry at the people who wronged me. it was all there still though, all the anger and loneliness and depression. it was like a well full of gasoline. deep underground. but whenever a spark of anger or sadness comes along the whole thing blows up.
and i find myself crying over things that i thought i had gotten over long ago. but the sparks just keep coming with this b .i.t.c. h.
Mary makes it a game to mess with my nerves and tries to break my calm attitude. she chews me out on a daily basis. she yells and bites and cuts me deep with her words.
and i already knew long ago that she didn’t really care for me or even love me. but every time my well blows up and it breaks me as a person to relive it all over again.
and i can’t just move out because my dad is still an ex con and my mom a drug addict. so my only solution to escape this (because i know i’ve tried to explain it to her-plenty) is to run away.

I won’t go into counseling because after my depression before they tried to send me, and it just didn’t work out. I won’t call child protective services and find another home that i will eventually have to leave.
Mary gives all to her son and none to me. and since everything in my room belongs to me(because i bought it myself, with babysitting money) i won’t feel any guilt about taking more than what i came to her with.
I live in the desert like i said, i can’t just walk to another town and live under a bridge.
I thought that maybe i could explain this to one of my closest friends (with a car) and they could take me to the train station with my fake I.D. (I do look over 18 btw) and i could travel a bit like i did with my mom when i was little. do all of this until they stopped looking for me,
then send some letters to my mom and dad telling them i’m ok. and that i will see them when i really do turn 18. i just want to get away from her, and she seems to have trapped me in every possible way.
sorry for the long message but i really need help. I’m 16 and have been wanting to run away from her since i was eight. i have seven thousand dollars saved in the bank account that my sister set up for me and i recently withdrew it all in cash (over time).
just a bit to make you understand that this is my only solution before you answer my question. so please some tips? advice for people on the run? i would really appreciate it.

The Tractor…

The tractor stands frozen – an agony
To think of. All night
Snow packed its open entrails. Now a head-pincering gale,
A spill of molten ice, smoking snow,
Pours into its steel.
At white heat of numbness it stands
In the aimed hosing of ground-level fieriness.

It defied flesh and won’t start.
Hands are like wounds already
Inside armour gloves, and feet are unbelievable
As if the toe-nails were all just torn off.
I stare at it in hatred. Beyond it
The copse hisses – capitulates miserably
In the fleeing, failing light. Starlings,
A dirtier sleetier snow, blow smokily, unendingly, over
Towards plantations Eastward.
All the time the tractor is sinking
Through the degrees, deepening
Into its hell of ice.

The starting lever
Cracks its action, like a snapping knuckle.
The battery is alive – but like a lamb
Trying to nudge its solid-frozen mother -
While the seat claims my buttock-bones, bites
With the space-cold of earth, which it has joined
In one solid lump.

I squirt commercial sure-fire
Down the black throat – it just coughs.
It ridicules me – a trap of iron stupidity
I’ve stepped into. I drive the battery
As if I were hammering and hammering
The frozen arrangement to pieces with a hammer
And it jabbers laughing pain-crying mockingly
Into happy life.

And stands
Shuddering itself full of heat, seeming to enlarge slowly
Like a demon demonstrating
A more-than-usually-complete materialization -
Suddenly it jerks from its solidarity
With the concrete, and lurches towards a stanchion
Bursting with superhuman well-being and abandon
Shouting Where Where?

Worse iron is waiting. Power-lift kneels
Levers awake imprisoned deadweight,
Shackle-pins bedded in cast-iron cow-shit.
The blind and vibrating condemned obedience
Of iron to the cruelty of iron,
Wheels screeched out of their night-locks –

Fingers
Among the tormented
Tonnage and burning of iron

Eyes
Weeping in the wind of chloroform

And the tractor, streaming with sweat,
Raging and trembling and rejoicing.

PLEASE HELP ME! I need advice on an eating disorder.?

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

So I have just recently came to the conclusion that I have anorexia and binge eating disorder. I starve myself during the day and tell myself that I am going to get realyl skinny and that motivates me. During the day I eat about 100-280 calories. Then I go to gymnastics and vigorously work out for four hours which is hard wehnyou dont have a lot of energy. Then I go home adn have a healthy dinner but then after I am still so hungry that I say screw it adn binge. I eat everything all junkfood, candy and its so good. But then I feel so sick after and regret it. I don’t know what to do this is seriously like an addiction and I don’t know how to stop it. I cant find a medium with eating like I feel like if I eat something (thats not in my starving day patterns) then I might as well jsut binge because I already ate. I’ve talked to a few friends but I only tell one of my freidns everything about it. I will not tell my parents and I have a nutritionist but I lied ot her which I know wasn’t right but she wants me to eat too much during the day. I really lied to her because my mo has to come with me and I can’ t tell her the truth in front of my mom. Does anyone have any tips for me, I really need help because I can’t keep getting sick every night. Thank you.

my mom is very close to passing i need to move please help?

Monday, June 27th, 2011

my mom is in home care hospice ta home with me thee are nurses here 24-7 she may go at any time now – my question is this -

should i stay in the same building and get a 1 bd room when she does pass — this is a not very nice section 8 building in a downtown area – it would be hard to budget it out every month but it could be done – i am on disability for severe migraines and only get 600 a month rent would be 150 or a tiny bit less -

i have a sister and father who also live in the same building
they are both very screwed up he is 78 is a manic depressive that doesnt take any meds for it and is also a compulsive gambler she is 47 and is a very bad drug addict that uses about 100 dollars worth of drugs every day with her one friend that buys it all

i have no real great prospects here but at least i would have my own place and not be at any ones mercy and under their rules and their roof i am 32 and single no children never married

the other choice is to go and live with
my mosm friend who sounds like a control freak and is very tight she wants me to help take care of her grand daughter and then ride a bike every where is very wealthy but doesnt want to help me get a cheap used car or anything at all and i mean anything at all .. she sounds like a night mare should i go live with her in order to get out of here downtown – or just stay put ? she lives 2 hours away and if i go and stay with her i probably would just be stuck there – i am afraid of that very much so -
i am afraid of being at her mercy please help me and thank you
thank you all so much i really value your input – it has helped me to clear my thoughts and to think more clearly

i think i will stay here and get a smaller apt in the same building i am now in

Please someone help me! I need some outside help! no one to talk to…help!?

Monday, June 20th, 2011

I AM COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY FEED UP! PLEASE SOMEONE I NEED HELP! I NEED SOME STRESS RELIEVING TECHNIQUES TO HELP ME CALM DOWN! I HAVE TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM LONG HOT BATHS TO SLEEP! PLEASE ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?!?!?!

(the following is just background information on why i am stressed out and if you have specific information about any of the below that would be great too! you really don’t have to read it if you don’t want to…)

I’m 17 and most of you out there will say oh normal teenager stuff…haha NO it’s not! If you were in my shows then you would understand.
My family has been pushing me and pushing me, and today was the last straw! I’m completly feed up with all their $h*t!! Seriously! They tell me how to rule my life, they call me fat, they diss my boyfriend and his family all the time tell me that they don’t do anything the mother has no responsibility makes her kids do all the work!
Ever since the accident, I haven’t been the same.everyone has noticed this, and I have too. Especially my fiancee. He says he doesn’t love me any less, and wants us to go back to the way it was in our early relationship and add some new things to it. Im am game, but as i said before…my grandmother is a monster!
(background Information on the accident:On my birthday, i got into a car accident. I went into the medium on the highway and hurt the front end of my bummer, cracked the windshield, and threw the alignment off and that’s it. I came so close to loosing my life along with my fiance’s life. When I got out of the car, I was so worried about the car and how my grandmother (the person i live with and her car) was going to kill me. When we got home, my grandmother and my dad did just that. They didn’t believe me and my fiancee (boyfriend to them) that I really just got into a car accident and they thought me and him went off roading at the beach.) my family even makes fun of me when the things that happened are really tramatic (they laugh at me cuz I got into a car accident after flippin out that there was a bee in the car which I am extremely allergic to…)
I am sick and tired of my entire family! expecially my grandmother AGH! Another things is, I have to put up with her BS 24/7. AHH it is so annoying! She constantly calls me fat, tells me how to live my life (along with my aunt), tells me that my bf (fiancee)will never amount to anything, constantwhinesins and b****es about everything! AH i cant take it!!!!! She does what she likes. She is also very contradictive! like she will tell me to do my laundry, but then she does it for me! (i only do it when i dont have anything to wear…reasonable for a 17 year old i think). Plus she also has to ALWAYS know where I am, who Im with, when Ill be home etc! She doesnt trust me at all. When I say im out with friends and ill be home later i dont know when, SHE FLIPS OUT AND SAYS IN SNEAKY! WHAT?!?!?! AGH! i could go on and on about her and write the length of the China Wall with things I hate about her, but there are other things that are worrying me at this moment. I am soo stressed out to the max about the stuff she puts me though, I don’t want to go home anymore! I have serious issues with my entire family! My family has pushed me so far that I used to cut myself, drink excessivly, smoke, and do other stuff just to defy them! I stop on account of my own health. I don’t do any of the above anymore.
Plus on top of the stuff my family desides to put me though, I also have to deal with the following….
School, grades (they have been slipping), working at my TWO jobs, friends, pimples (they are like everywhere on my face), PROM (OH THATS A BIG ONE, ITS MAY 15, AND I ONLY HAVE A DRESS AND A DATE no shoes, no limo, no hair appt. no nail appt, no nada…AHHH), school play tryouts (had them today), my boyfriend, worrying if im pregnant or not (long story! and yes i took a test but it was negative but i still feel like i am), worrying about my sister (she lives with her mother and her other sister who SHE [my sister] hates), being forced to worry about my dad (family is using the guilt trip thing cuz my dad lost his job and just lost his house), the talent show this friday (im dancing in it, and i still have to make up like 3 8 counts ahh), my dance crew, my theater class/company and soooooooo much more.
I can’t take it anymore their driing me crazy! Once I hit 18 in April of 2010 I’m moving out and moving in with my fiancee! Me and him have already talked about it, and its deffinitly going to happen if they still pull their $h*t! Of course I am going to finish schooling and everything and hoping that they will still pay for college, but if they dont, I have already started saving the money from my 2 jobs that I work.

Please help me! I am so tired of this stress and its killing my body! headaches, backaches, feetaches, everything hurts and aches. Im just feed up! Please help me! Any and all advise is welcome! Thanks to all!
