Agreed! For all the things I have done for her over the years, just as YOU have, it gets old! Since she has been "in counseling" things have only gotten worse. She is going to an establishment that...

This has been the kids' lives for the past 5 years. It is what they live with everyday. Oldest grand daughter is the nurse, housekeeper, maid and companion. A lot for an 11 year old to deal with....

Yes, she does play the pity card well. Also, things have become complicated recently, as her 29 year old sister just gave birth last week. I've spent a lot of time with youngest daughter, hubby and...

Wow...

Thank you baudendi, You pretty much "get it". Its been years though, that I HAD to fix things. She just has "short term memory loss" in my opinion...

Thank you LadySam. I definitely got off to a bad start here! It is hard to post on a blog when no one knows you, or your sense of humor. My oldest daughter has said "I got knocked up" for so long, it...

Whatever... you are extremely full of yourself... good luck with that.

Yes Maam... that is exactly it. Her neurologist now has her on a phentynol (sp?) patch, to keep pain meds from affecting her kidneys and liver. 5+ years on heavy narcotics takes its toll.

WRONG! There are children mixed into this mess. You're clueless... :(

My husband of 20 years is just as bewildered as I am. My daughters" father is not that involved. He was when we were married (for 13 years) kind of...youngest daughter (29 yrs old) considers #2...

Thank you... and I understand that. My issue is I don't know what she is upset about without her talking to me. She mentioned her counselor had recommended we have a brief "session" (this was months...

THANK YOU, baudendi...
At MY age... I am tired of this... just the fact that she will not meet me half way and have a joint session with me, with her counselor (of 5 years!), tells me... nothing...

My oldest daughter, 30 year old, has 3 children. She was knocked up by her boyfriend - her first year of college. She has an 11 year old daughter, a 10 year old son and a 7 year old daughter by...

Get that child out of YOUR house! Abuse from even a child, should never be tolerated.

My 31 year old daughter has been in counseling for 5 years, due to depression and health issues as well as relationship problems, across the board. In the past 2 years, she has become distant from me...

Raven, I think you need counseling! Talk to your minister.
You are at that age where you want freedoms (which you are too young for... ) and expect respect you do not deserve.
You are a child...

Agreed. He knows how to push your buttons. He's a big boy.
Your response "...you ring me when you feel better. I said love you..." was perfect and the mature thing to say.
I must say though, his...

You do not deserve this sort of attitude from your child. Turn the table on this situation and take charge of it. I am PROUD OF YOU for searching for a way to get out of this. You can DO this!

Not all relationships are meant to last. I was miserable in my 13 year marriage. We got married simply because my grandmother was coming to Illinois from Texas and my Mom was having such a hard time...

I have had limited experience with this type of behavior. If it were me... MY first priority would be for your grandchild. I contacted a counselor who put me in touch with "social services" for...

Oh YES you are too young to be concerned with this!

Make an appt to be seen by your GP

If it is the same sperm donor, I would say the chances are high, that it will be a female. Simple odds...

You will only be the doormat if you let people walk on you. No means no... Just tell her you do not wish to watch children. It's that easy. The longer you wait to tell her, the harder it will be....

Who blanked what out? Your brother or the molester?

sratt... your health is being seriously compromised by allowing this to continue. She needs to leave immediately! If this was an abusive husband or boyfriend, you wouldn't allow it, so kick her to...

She has discovered something that probably gives her comfort. She hasn't sexualized the behavior, she's too young. Handle this behavior as you would any other behavior, with calmness, understanding...

Wow, how much torment should one person have to deal with? You need to remove yourself from these abusive people. If not permanently, at least step back until they can at least be civil. If that...

At this point, your only option is to back off. However, I also agree with cutting off the financial backing. AND, at THIS point in time, you are doing the right thing by seeking counseling for...

EXACTLY! Since SHE is the one that failed, by moving back in, how does that garner respect? I told my kids, "don't let the door hit your butt on the way out", no revolving door here! My kids are...

How can you think you deserve any respect? YOU are back under THEIR roof. THEY are back to being "parents" to you. If you want respect, work for that respect! As a parent of adult children, I would...

My daughters are 29 and 31. My 31 year old has been in "counseling" for more than 5 years now, because of "relationship/health/emotional" issues. Over the past year, she has become distant and short...

I would recommend NOT substituting a meal with any type of shake. Have you considered a low fat, low carb "live-it"? I lost 45 pounds in 6 months. I was a size 18... I'm now a size 8! I am 53 years...
