Dealing with mentally ill and incompetent family
My mother has Alzheimer's' disease and my sister is bi-polar and I am really having difficulty dealing with them both. Needless to say, it is very demanding dealing with people with mental issues and I am so frustrated that I don't know whether to cry or scream! We've never really been that close. My mother was not a very good mother, in fact she was very abusive to us growing up. Naturally this hasn't improved with her Alzheimer's diagnosis. So my relationship with her has always been a love/hate thing. My sister and I were very close when we were younger but by jr. high, we were going in 2 totally different directions and then when she was twenty one and I was eighteen, she moved away and was gone for 20 years and I saw her a handful of times. Then my father got diagnosed with cancer and I tried to take care of him living an hour away, working 2 jobs and being a single parent of three kids. I managed for a year and seven months, mainly by myself. Then my sister, who is the only one of us without children, left her job and moved to where my parents were to help for the last 5 months of Dad's life. I was so greatful. Then after Dad died, mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. When I started seeing them more because of Dad's illness, I knew something was wrong but I just couldn't deal with it then. So my sister opted to stay. To be honest we didn't think my mom would live much longer. My Dad did everything for her. Here we are 8 years later and she is going strong! My sister never worked for over 5 years and spent every cent of my parent's life savings. She didn't get a job until the last dime was spent. Now my Mom is worse and my sister is having to work. Meanwhile, she wasn't working but the house was a mess, mom wasn't getting her medicine correctly, no one was cooking and they were eating junk, mom's hygiene was horrible..., My sister is bipolar but it is supposedly mild. I mean when she lived out of state, she worked full time, cared for herself, had friends etc., Then she gets here and all of the sudden she can't do anything? So once I found out all the money and everything was gone, I moved in around the first of the year and already I can hardly stand it! My mother can do very little and won't even try to do what she can do. She has always been rude, mean and self centered and hasn't a clue how anyone else feels and doesn't care. My sister is totally apathetic and says she is "burned out,". From what, I ask you, she didn't and still doesn't do anything! Since I moved in I have done by far the vast majority of everything: cooking, cleaning, yard work, caring for mom, grocery shopping and paying the bills! My sister sits in her room on the computer from the moment she gets home from work until she goes to bed. We have talked numerous times and she promises to do better and at first she'd try for a little while but now she just says it to get me off her butt and has no intention of doing anything. She wants to put mom in a nursing home but we can't even do that because she let my mother's medicare secondary insurance and even her funeral insurance that they had for years lapse! Meanwhile, I can't get my Mom to take her meds, get in the shower or practically anything else! Now my sister gave her two week notice because she was fixing to get fired anyway and doesn't have even a hint of another job! She isn't going to counseling any more. She is supposed to be on 2 different meds for her bipolar but she is only taking one. We got in a huge screaming match the other day because she was so rude and disrespectful to me and one of my kids plus I'd just had it. To be fair to my sister her job really sucks and she is under a lot of stress at work. On the other hand, she brings a lot of it on herself too. Although my mother has Alzheimer's, she is not completely gone and so you can't treat her like a child even though she acts like a spoiled rotten two year old that needs a good spanking! Mostly she is just forgetful and needs prompting and reminding. She can't cook (but she hasn't cooked in 30 years anyway!) She can't clean but she hasn't done that for the last 20 years either, my Dad did. She can't pay her bills, drive etc.., Heck, she can't even turn on and off the TV or figure out how to answer the phone. But we play this game and no one is allowed to bring up the "A," word or say much about it. If you do, she goes through the roof. I am not a confrontational person and I hate loosing my temper but I am about to blow! I guess my question is, how do you deal with frustration when you can't confront the people involved about it? I am getting so angry and resentful, that I can hardly be civil. I have a brother but he has little to nothing to do with the family and lives out of town. I have another sister but she has a borderline IQ and serioujs health issues since Christmas and can barely take care of herself. In fact, I help her ra raise her 15 year old daughter that she has no business with. My neice is promiscuous, failing school and abusive to my sister!

Father problems I would really appreciate any advice you can offer me
My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. My brother and I went with our mother to west virgina to live with my grandmother and my father stayed in south carolina. For two years my brother and i heard nothing from our father. He never called us, he never asked to visit us, he never wrote any letters, nothing. Then when I was ten he started making some effort to be in our lives. He would call us, and email us and send birthday cards and what not, and things started to improve. He told he us that he would visit soon, and that he was sorry; so naturally my brother and I forgave him nd for a little while things were good between us. He visited us, we visited him, we talked weekly, we spent time with each other and it was nice. But after a while he stopped calling us and stopped spending time with us. Or he would say he was coming to visit then never show up, or yell at us over stupid things. After about three years of this he started to be nicer. He went to calling us often, and spending time with us. He would come us for Christmas and easter, and Halloween. basically he started acting like a father again. Then, out of nowhere he dropped off the face of the earth. he stopped paying child support, he stopped talking to us, he stopped calling, he quit his job, changed his phone number, moved, and we didn't hear from him for a long time. Now my dad is back, wanting to spend time with us and be in our lives again, but I don;t think I can take it anymore. I resent him for playing games with our feelings- one minute acting like a father, and the next minute telling us he doesn't want anything to do with us. and abandoning us every time we start to get close to him again. I can't deal with it any more. I want to stop loving him or at least just feeling nothing for him. I don't want to love him because I know it will only lead to me getting hurt. But that makes me feel so guilty because you're supposed to love your father not be apathetic towards him. So my question is, How I do stop him from hurting me without feeling guilty about it? I've told him all this before. He either ignores it or apologizes and goes right back to doing it again.

Im sick of my mother in law slighting my kids What if anything can I do
I'll try to make this as short as possible. I have a ten year old son that is not my husband's bio child. My husband is the third out of four children only one is a female. His sister's daughter is 13 days younger than my son. My husband and I have been married for almost 5 years and have had two children together. His sister had a second child two months before my 3 year old was born so actually we have two children that are around the same age. Ok, his sister passed away three years ago and my MIL and FIL are taking care of the daughter (the ten year old) and the 3 year old lives out of state with his bio dad. My kids are always getting shafted by my MIL! This happened even before my SIL passed away. I will give you two examples: 2 years ago my son had a Wii and asked for games for his birthday. My MIL told my husband that Wii games were too expensive and that they would just give him a giftcard instead so they gave him a $20 bill in a birthday card. 13 days later my niece gets a Wii, a new TV and several games for her birthday (all from my MIL and FIL). Also, my youngest just turned 2 on the 19th of July. They did not come to his party and brough over a book and DVD a week later for his birthday. She asked if we could come over this past weekend for a birthdday party for my nephew that they were having at their house and stated that it was no big deal just cake and ice cream. When we showed up it was as full decked out party including rented inflatbles for the kids to bounce in. My husband sees nothing wrong with this. My 10 year old is starting to catch on and I find it disturbing. It is so bad she used ot buy extra Christmas presents for my SIL's kids and have them open and hide them before we got there. They never attend any of my kid's sporting events or school things but will request work off for the other grandkids. They will not watch my kids for a couple of hours because they are taking care of my husband's grandparents and they think it is too much yet my nephew (who's 3) has been staying with them the whole summer and will not be leaving until September. Any advice? They are not raising my nephew he is with his dad and step mom. These things happened even BEFORE my SIL passed away. I don't discuss this around my 10 year old so you are wrong about that. He asks my husband why they never come to his soccer or basketball games and even made the comment that every time we go over there my MIL follows the 4 year old around dotiing over him and barely even notices my son (who is the same age). This is coming out of a 10 year old's mouth not mine.

Child Supportwhat do you think women PLease answer
My child's father currently pays $120 month child support. I have another child that I get $400 per month for. I do not have a job..I live with my parents but I depend on the support and food stamps to make it. Anyway, I hastily took out the support on my son's dad. He is a great father who says he feels bad that I got the courts involved and that our child is suffering for it. He has drawn out papers asking me to drop the support and stating that he will provide the following: 41 outfits per year, (GYMBOREE) 4 pairs of pajamas, 6 pairs of shoes, monthly toys & games, pictures twice per year, karate classes once per week, any other recreational costs, all christmas gifts, birthday gifts, easter basket, back to school items, personal care items, socks, underwear, etc. What would you do? Would you continue the support or allow him to pay for everything which he is basically already doing--but this would mean that our child gets alot more..Name brand clothes, afterschool activities.. Any suggestions about other things I should request? Should I allow him to claim the child alternate years? Thanks :) By the way, I should have added that the support that he is paying isnt really being spent on my son. I let him pick a few things every now and then but he gets clothes once per year and a few back to school. Then I spend one payment on Christmas and birthday. I spend the rest on my clothes, nails, going on trips, etc. I do not have any bills or have to provide food or insurance. I feel like a horrible parent but its the best I can do right now.

What do you think of the story of my life Is it something worth being depressed over
Ok, this is not fake....this is really the story of my life. My name is Carrie and I'm 16 years old. I live with my grandparents my older brother and my auntie. As far back as I can remember, there was a man that would come over everyday to my house to visit, play games, talk, and have a good time with us. I always told him "I love you" before he left. I never knew why, and I never could remember how long I knew him. But I was used to that, so that's what I did. Then one day, I saw a picture in his wallet of him with some blonde woman. I asked him who the woman was, and he told me that he was my birth father and all this time I had been living with my grandparents. After he left, my grandmother explained that my birth parents weren't ready to take care of children, so they had to take us in. I was so upset, but I finally got over it. My birth father's name is Bill. Bill was a drunken drug dealer who smoked alot, too. A little while after he had told us, he just stopped showing up to our house or even calling. All communication had stopped. For six months he hadn't called or anything. Then he decides to come over one day, and he thought it had only been a couple of months due to the drugs. It really hurt that he didn't even realize how long it had been since he had seen my sister and I. A couple years later, he did that again, but this time I was a year before we heard from him again. Then he came back and ammends were made. A year or so after that, he got kicked out of his apartment by his roommate because he wasn't paying his half of the rent. So my family and I opened our house up to him for 3 months so he could get a job and start a better life. Every single day he'd go out "job looking". He used our house number as a way for the jobs to contact him, but not ONCE did we ever get a call and that was because he never tried to get a job, but instead he just fooled around with his drugged up friends. We had to kick him out, and after that, we heard nothing from him for 4 long years. He didn't ever bother to call to see how we were or anything like that. He just ditched us all. It hurt me so bad. Finally, one day, we get a letter from him, and he wanted to try to make things right and get back involved in his daughter's lives. We gave him one last final chance, and when he came over so we could confront him, he was crying, like the rest of the family. I caved and I didn't yell at him like I should have, but instead I told him it was all okay. After the emotional part finally ended, he told us he was engaged and it was his fiance that made his straighten out his life. And then he came over a couple times after that, but only to ask us if we could meet his fiance. It turns out, that's why he got back into our lives was so we could meet her. He came over around Christmas, we told him no about the fiance again, and that was that. He didn't even call on Christmas. The last time we heard from him was March of 2008. And then I found out a little something about my birth mother, Mary. She was in prison. The reason our birth parents couldn't take care of us is because my mother was a child molester. I think about this all the time and it's making me depressed. Do you think it's worth being depressed over? Or am I wasting time thinking about it...?

Parents whats your favorite event in your childrens school
sure, our kids have their own favorite school events, like the school sleep over, soccer games, etc. but us parents have favorite school events, too (even if we don't care to admit it). the ones we don't ever miss because you're just as excited about them as your kids. my husband absolutely looks forward to the school halloween parade. he's an artist and he really goes all out on our boys' costumes. my personal favorite is...it's actually a toss up between the school art show (where my boys can show off their artistic side) and the Christmas program (where my boys really get jiggy with the song and dance numbers, lol!) so what's yours? oh yeah, Love Me! there's the Recognition Program, too. dangit, i think i love every event. i'm such a sap. :P
