Brother causing problems
Replies: This question has 1 responses
02/04/2010 : My brother is 21 and ever since he was younger he has purposely made my families life a living hell. He hit my mum tried to break her and my stepdad up and now ignored her for 4 years. He lived with my dad and stepmum until he tried to split them up and when he left he stole £100 after memorising the code to the safe. Yet again my dad has forgiven him and i don't no what to anymore. I can't watch him break my dads heart again and every time my brother leaves my heart breaks a little more. My family make endless excuses for him but as much as i love my brother i hate the person he's become and wish i never had to see him again.

02/04/2010 : My 26 year old son, who lived at home until 7 months ago, met a women at work who is 8 years older, has two young children, 5 and 8, is still not officially divorced, is a huge spend thrift type personality, has always had abusive partners etc etc and my son has moved in and within these few months is trying to have a baby with her, even though he tells me he hates her children (he dosn't really show the children this), joined finances together, they both work full-time, made a home together, even though she is still not divorced, changed EVERYTHING about himself, eg personality wise and wants to change his last name as well because our family name is not good enough for her or any children he has, has never brought her to my home because I am not rich enough and he is embarrassed (granted I am poor), this is my son who until mid last year I had done everything for ie helped him get a good job, good credit rating etc, it hurts to feel like I do and I am having nightmares and feeling worthless.
He is not being nasty just acting so differently. He wants a baby and for me to help look after it whilst they work. They have so much debt now and alot of expense with her two children. I don't agree with any of this. I am not the mother-in-law from hell in any way but I am angry and upset. This whole thing is sooooo stupid!!! How do I cope with this?

21/03/2010 : I go and see my Mum and Dad nearly every weekend. I am beginning to find it very hard work as all htey do is complain abiut whatever family member is not there. They never have anthing positive to say, it's really depressing and I come away very unhappy. They seem happiest when they are moaning. My son spends a lot of time with them and I wonder whether they do it in front of him. It would upset me if they did.

What can we do?
Family problems, feels like my mums just not interested?
Replies: This question has 3 responses
26/02/2010 : This sounds like a odd question but anyway... I dont know if anyone has had this with their parents before but it just seems like my mum isnt interested? For example im 14 and just going to start with all my GCSE options. I really need someone to talk to about it. I try to bring the conversation up with her by saying somthing about it like "I dont know if i should choose this or this" and she just mutters while tapping away at her laptop. She hasnt once asked me what i want to do, she never starts a conversation with me anymore, she shows no interest in coming to the school meetings or reading the booklets about the options.
And this is just one of the things. I just feel like she wont talk to me about anything and she should be more interested with things about what i want to with my life? what im thinking of taking? And tomorow im choosing them and she hasnt asked me anything about them! Theres other things aswell she just never shows an interest in anything anymore, and i dont understand why? And it just seems to be me aswell. My older brother is 17 and at college studying engineering and hes doing really well, and mum couldnt be prouder of him, shes always asking him how things are going and if he needs help etc.
And she did the same when he was my age aswell. When he was doing his gcses she was talking to him like evryday telling him not to worry and that he would work it out, and asking what he thought he wanted to do and about college etc. But with me nothing? My mum and dad are seperated and have been for about 10 years, but their frends. I see my dad alot in the week and weekends as he lives alone. Me and my brother always see him several times. My dad talks to me, asks me about it. I can acctually have a conversation with him! He takes me to the option evenings and i've told him about mum but he cant seem to see the problem as such cause hes not there to see it happen.
I have a younger brother whose 3 aswell and ofcourse that keeps my mum busy because hes not my dads, and his dad isnt around (long story) but she gets plenty of support from others and me and my brother. I just dont understand why she doesnt show any interest? It makes me upset i feel like she couldnt care about me less all she wants to do is like tap away on facebook, until my brother walks in the room and shes ready with questions and ideas, and hes happy to tell her about college and his girlfriend etc.
I've asked my mum about it, like the other day when i was trying to talk to her, she just said it was up to me so i should just go upstairs and think about it. So i was upset and agry and replied that shes just not interested and its like i have to keep saying muuum? Mummm? till i get a "huh?" or "yeah whatever"? I keep saying your just not interested are you? and when i asked for help earlier on coursework she just said i dont know? then once again my brother will come in and its like "oohhh sooo how did your teacher say your test went"? and it goes on and on until i just slip out the room and leave to my bedroom, proably unnoticed to her.
I feel alone and dont like not having support, i may be more sure of what i want to do with my life then what my brother did but i would still like to talk to her about it. Dont get me wrong i love the support from my dad, hes been amazing lately as we're getting so much closer, but me and mum to be honest we dont talk at all. She only works two days a week so i should have her there the rest of the days but nothing, shes just not interested i try to tell her, and it wont work. I want her to be proud maybe of something i did, for example im a dancer and my dads been paying for it for about ten years because my mum wouldnt by the way.
And i recently got invited to London to dance with the Royal Ballet and dad was estatic that it was going so well, where as mum just said "cool" do i dissapoint her? Does she not want me to dance? Im not doing that as a career, i love dancing but its my hobbie not my job. English has always been my best subject and ive won awards in it etc. So i want to work in journalism or Media. I have my mind set on things, and at the moment i cant wait to finish with school get to college and eventually be out of this town somewhere i might get some more support.
I know this is alot but i just really want some help? Please?

Bad family Xmas
Replies: This question has 1 responses
02/01/2010 : I did not see my family for many years. I have just got back from spending Xmas with them and now I know why I did not go back for ages. They are horrible. The only timen they have anything to say is when they bad mouth people and they love it when things go wrong for others. There is no joy oin them at all. Is it ok just to ignore them again or am I expected to put up with it until they die?
