the 27 year old has a BFA in illustration and the 29 year old has an AA in auto body repair. Both are good workers, never miss work, show up for work everyday on time and clean and sober, yet they get passed over for employment by addicts and alcoholics. They are out every day looking for work and up all night on the computer looking. And nothing is happening. The 27 year old has $50,000+ in student loans that he has defaulted on and is in a very deep depression because of it. Why can’t they find work?

Were I live there is a old woman at the end of my row and she has two sons, and a dautghter who stays at her house some times. and one of her sons is an alcoholic drinker he once split up with his girl friend and he made roring sunds drunk a full bottle of beer and broke his window and emted his bedroom. He througth out a fish tank and bed sheets out and other things out of the window. Then his mother sent for the police and he was full of blood and was sent in a cell for a night. When hes sober hes so helpfull and when hes drunk hes calling people. and hes now living in his mum shed because she wont have him in the house can you balme her? and hes so bad now that hes beging of people for money so he can buy more beer. Do you think he wont last long liveing in his mums shed?
even though she was the abuser and adulterer, for the last three years she has still mentally abused my son, driving him almost to suicide. He is a dedicated father who has access to his children EVERY weekend and two days during the week – in fact almost more than she sees them. She poisons them calling him names and although they have now their own views, they are frightened and loyal to her as they love her, which is expected, but the courts never believe my son, they always believe her even though she tells blatant lies which the children could verify if they dared. Because their son who is 8 has been staying constantly with his father for the last week and didn’t want to return to his Mother, even though my son has tried to persuade him, probably because he is frightened as his Mother is constantly threatening to take his father to court. Today, without any warning he has been served an injunction with threat of arrest if a breech occurs, he has no right to reply. She says that he is verbally abusive and does not comply with his access rights – the majority of times he fails to return them on time it is because she is NOT at home, however, no-one apart from family knows this and naturally our word does not mean anything. She is still not happy in her new relationship and is also violent, in fact the police have been called to her house on four occasions in the last year to break up violent arguments obviously this proves that it was not just my son that caused her problems – she is the one with problems of control but unfortunately she always presents herself well at court and she is more than half way there with her claims as the MOTHER is always right !!!! Any advice on how to deal with such a woman would be very much appreciated, I would add that she has a problem with alcohol which plays a big part of her life, hence her allowing my son access EVERY weekend, which NO-ONE seems to find unusual. The children NEVER see their Mother on a weekend. Children are 10, 8 and 5yrs.
….take them in. Their father is a pot head and alcoholic and so is their step mother. They have lived a very volotile life, but because of the guidance of their grandmother, they are very good girls. However their grandmother’s husband wont let them stay with them.
Every child in my family, immediate and extended, have had great home lives and lots of opportunities except fo these young girls. They are 9th & 10th graders and a lot of responsibility I know, but I am willing to have them come live with me. I have an extra room in my house, except I don’t have a lot of extra money because I am a student and single parent. I can apply for AFDC for their expenses and that would be more than enough for their clothes, food, etc, and even some for a savings account for each.
My mother says I’m crazy for considering, but I really hate to see these young girls fall into the system. But I’m also worried about how it might affect my 5 year old son. I don’t know what to do…???
My son is an alcoholic, and we had decided to send him to an alcohol rehab. I haven’t talked to him about this, though. What should I do?
Her father is a career criminal that has been in and out of prison for the past 35 years. His offenses range from making meth to counterfeiting. Also a long history of making fake checks.
My wife seams to think that is it okay to have my son around him and I don’t. My wife has a serious gambling habit and has been “86″ from most of the casinos in our area. One casino sent a certified letter to us telling her she is not welcome on the property. I also had my bank call me and tell me that she was trying to cash a check she forged from my bank account.
My wife was supposed to take our son back yesterday but she never showed up and still hasn’t called (about 17 hours late so far). She is pro-per and I am trying to hire an attorney but haven’t yet because when she left she took every penny with her and left us dead broke..
There are many more disturbing facts but the ones I listed above should be enough to get custody I would think.
So my question is…can anyone give me advise on the best way to present my case and get custody of my son.
medication. He went to with drawl all of my grandmas banking account funds an hour after she died.
I am paying rent to my mom because I make a monthly check for satisfactory disorder, and bi polar. Satisfactory is a terrible disease. I have to wear my head phones when I leave the house and have loud music on at home so I don’t hear the voices that insult me. I also have agoraphobia and I was molested when I was 4. But I am not gay and it wasn’t my fault.
I pay my mom rent, I do the dishes, and I promised that I would always be by her side and never let her go to a nursing home. And no woman I’m dating ever will get in the way. She is my oldest aunt, she adopted me when I was little. My real mom died from hepatitis when she was 51.
How can I be the perfect son, despite my limitations? I go to culinary school, and this is my second semester, but I only took 9 credit hours. I also go to my moms work early and vacuum, pledge stuff, take out all of the trash. And I bought her some coffee that is from Star bucks. And I bought her her favorite kind of candles. And I may have given someone two valium 10′s, but that is only allegedly.
Now the main thing is I love my mother. The death of my grandma hurt me. I went to Kinko’s and got her picture from her youth hanging in a frames right in front of the computer. I just never want to be mean to my mom and I know I won’t because it is not in me. I hate meth now. Please give me some answers on anything in my life.
Schitzoaffective disorder I was trying to say.
I am prescribed the valium for agoraphobia, general anxiety disorder, panic attacks.
TY ok, it’s just very important that I make my mother as comfortable with the stress of her work, and because she adopted me. And she hates no one.
My son’s father is an alcoholic, and he has refused treatment, not wanting to make changes etc. So I left him. Well, we are learning that we really love each other. He wants it to work, and he has the passion. We are willing to go to mediation, because well he’s being an ass of a father, an ass to me. it’s going down, that either he get his act together, or me and his son are out of his life until he does. But I’m wondering, what if I do commit to helping with his problems, like going to counseling with him, helping him if he needs to go to rehab. Do alcoholics really turn around? Do they live a better life, or are they just constantly thinking about wanting a drink. Is it worth it, IF he does quit. Does anyone have any success stories, or any experience they can share with me
I know this is super long but bear with me PLEASE!
Here is a little background. I was kicked out when I was 16, I was a problem child you could say. My father didn’t want me in his house anymore and I didn’t want to be there one night we got into a heated argument and he blacked my eye. My mother didn’t want me living with her because her boyfriend didn’t want me there (devastating for a 16 who thought the world of her mother). I was made live with my immature 19 year old brother and his psycho pregnant girlfriend (she would lie, steal, do drugs, etc)
Food was a struggle even tho my parents paid my brother child support for me (his girlfriend was doing something with the money). I then met my daughters father and because he had money my brother asked him to live with us. He did and shortly later I became pregnant. We moved into our own place and everything seemed ok.
Until I found out my mother was addicted to crack cocaine. By this time I was seventeen and expecting a baby girl. During my pregnancy I was often alone (my ex was out running around while I worked to pay the bills(his money was depleted by this time he would quit all his jobs). I really craved my mother but she was out doing what she was doing. When I had my daughter I hadto call my mother as soon as anything happened so she could try to stop smoking so she could make it to the hospital where her teenage daughter was in labor. She should up at 4am looked horrible and was probably still high I was so happy she had come I actually ignored everyone else. After that, I loaned her money and tried to save her once picking her up from a crack motel, feeding her and helping her get into rehab. I visited with her often.
She got out and was staying somewhere. I eventually let her live with me and she got a job and was doing good, I would take her to work and pick her up, and even sat in the emergency room with her and took care of her when she got out(she did something to her eye). Sad to say I ended up getting really mad with her (she was still with the boyfriend) and she moved out. After that she got hoked on it again. For a while that was her life. After a year or so she got it together again leaving the boyfriend alone. She met someone new and moved in with him and a friend. She was given a 2 bdrm mobile home by my grandmother and a car. She and her boyfriend are living there. I have had a rough 2 years. I split from my ex (he spent rent money on god knows what and we were put out). I had to stay with some guy I knew and then with my sister, I got a job working for an auction company and my sister and myself got a house and were doing great. She then started to act strange towards my daughter and would steal from me.
I moved in with my brother. I lost my job 2 months after being at my brothers. He then grew tired of me because he wanted to “walk around naked” and I didn’t have any money to offer him(I also let him stay with me over a year and helped well bascially raised his son on my own that year) lether let me stay at her house for 2 weeks and then I left to georgia with my current boyfriend. I felt that was my only option because her boyfriend doesn’t want us to stay there. Although there is an extra room and he is there illegally as well, she will not let me(i am now 22 and 4 months pregnant)4 months pregnant) and my 4 year old daughter stay with her to get on our feet. I’m sure it might be the boyfriend he doesn’t want us to damper his life on unemployment and weed smoking. He also has a crazy temper and talks to my mother horribly her thing is that he is a great guy. If I was with him she’d sh*t! Anyway, I am leaving for florida saturday and she is coming to get me, then i’m on my own I have to stay in a shelter….
Am I wrong for expecting or wanting her to let me stay with her?
My grandmother helped her so much when I was young and still does, why won’t she help me?
My mother is steady now, has been at her job for quite some time, has made this mobile home look great and has been more stable and secure than she has in 5 years. She says she doesn’t want me to stay because she isn’t supposed to have people staying there and her boyfriend once had a felony and shouldn’t be there either. I’m not sure why he is worth the risk and me her pregnant daughter and granddaughter aren’t. She also acts upset becuase I have gotten myself here andI think she is most upset because she feels I am trying to back her in a corner. I just want my mommy to want to help me and follow through. I feel like F*ck her boyfriend he has had at least 20 years to get his sh*t together and hasn’t. HELP ME MOM!!!
I have already filed for childsupport quite some time ago, the thing is if they aren’t willing to pay it takes quite some time. Also, I have tried getting housing help and there is a ridiculous waiting term. I have looked for employment and it’s very hard to find employment in florida(at least in my area) as well as where I am now. I am now pregnant (MY FAULT) and I know I should have planned better but nobody wants to hire a pregnant woman. I am not lazy and I am a good mother, I just have let people lie to me and foolishly I believe them.

My son is 13 and says the reason he wants to move in with his dad is he never gets to see his dad when he visits with him on the weekends because he works and most of the times during the week he works later than normal. When I talk to him about this the only reason he wants to live there from what he has told me is because he can’t see him all the time because he is working. His father moved in with another woman and her son about a year ago. A few months after that my sons dad let his girlfriends son call him dad since his dad wasn’t involved in his life. I think about 3-4 mths later my sons dad was saying that our son wanted to move in with him. Several months have gone by and now the same issue has come up again. My sons dad is an alcoholic and drinks all the time and when he is in the car with my son. I have already told him how I felt about this and he still does it. My son has alot of freedom when he is at his dads and when he comes home is very tired and doesn’t want to wake up for school the next day. And then he tells me they either stayed late playing video games or didn’t go to sleep at all. My son needs structure in his life and I don’t want to keep him from his dad but I also don’t think it is a good idea to live with him. I said he can see him anytime he wants and spend his summers with him. I feel alot has to do to the fact that the girlfriends son lives there all the time and calling him dad and that is a big issue for my son even though he says he doesn’t have a problem with him. Please help I am not sure how to approach this or how to talk to my son about it.
My niece and nephew have been living with my parents for over a year now (this recent time, it is not the first). The mother is a drug addict, big time and the dad is just stupid. They have never been able to provide a stable home for them on their own. Now that school is almost out the mother is telling the children she is coming to get them.
Although CPS has investgated her 3 times, they say they can not step in because the children have been taken care of and she has not hurt them. The kids are beside theirselves, not wanting to leave grandma and grandpas house, because they have friends, love their school and feel secure. They know where and with whom they will be with every night. We have talked with one attorny and they say nothing can be done. But there has to be something to protect these children. CPS wont do anything until a child has been hurt or killed, what a great system they are, huh! can anyone give advise how they can be legally protected, please help!
we have custody of our nephew now for 6 yrs. his mother is a heroine addict and his father is not only on drugs, but he is a theif, constantly in and out of jail. we have been in counseling for a few years but the nephew just doesnt understand why his parents arent around.
I am a second year nursing student and single mother of a 3 year old. i was with a good guy for almost a year and he lived with us. He did great and helped pay bills and cooked and cleaned. Then he started to go out all night. He would spend his/our money on drugs and I gave him numerous chances. I kicked him out and met someone else who happens to have 2 kids and is always with them. No drugs, no drama. I was living alone for a few months during school when I realized I was going to go under in a matter of weeks. In the months that my ex was living with his mother and I on my own, he stopped doing drugs and became very persistent in my taking him back. He knows I am dating another but he is VERY close to my son. He has straightened himself out but I am in love with a great man. Months after I kicked out my ex, I was weeks away from going under financially, I talked to him and my current bf about the situation and we agreed that I would have my ex move back in as roomates to help with the bills. Everyone was told the truth about everything and now my ex is acting stupid sometimes and school starts in one week and i don’t need the stress. I even try to hook him up with other girls but it never works. Advice?

My sons dad is an alcoholic and doesn’t have a place to live. I don’t allow him in my place because of his drinking. He has court ordered visitation. Could I get in trouble for breaking that? Because if something happens to my son because of him I could get in trouble.
Ok so let me give you a little history:
We live in a big old house in Oregon from the 1900′s that has been broken down into 7 apartments. I live on main floor with people above, below, and behind me.
In October the owner moved in a lady. She was dealing drugs, hooking, and stuffs gone missing! She got arrested, FOR DRUGS, at the end of November and sense then we have been trying to get her out. She has not paid her rent. She smokes inside, and the house has shared ventilation, and there are 3 children and 3 adults with asthma in the home. Makes lots of noise and just is a real SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY!!!
So every time we think the lawyers going to get the sheriff and come and kick her out, some how she gets some judge to give her another hearing and extend her time. She has had like 5 hearings and only showed up for one! How shes getting away with this is beyond me! I wish I could not pay my rent and live Scott free!
So none the less I want to put a protest sign in my front window of my apartment which is a big picture window on the front of the house that faces the street. I don’t want to give her anything that she can use to stay longer like slander or harassment or anything like that.
I was thinking something like “The law only help druggie and not good citizens… A woman in the house has been endangering minors.. But the courts keep letting her stay…” something like that.. I just what to do something! But not break the law. HELP!!!!
I am already moving, I only have two more week in my apartment. But that doesnt mean criminals should get away with things like this! It’s people that always turn there shoulder and dont do anything about it that feed these types of people! I am trying to DO something instead of just siting here and taking this!
So if your not answering my accual question about the protest sign, please move along and save it for someone else!
I dont own the place, its not money out of my pocket. This person broke the law, edagered MY son, has been making me sick, and is a general pain in the ****! AND NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! Get it in your heads I want help with my protest sign! I am doing if I get help from any of you or not! I am doing it because it is the right thing to do! WE CAN HEAR HER HOOKING THROUGH THE FLOOR!
She already yelled and me and my son and another tenant and her children and hte property manager. Like I am going to go and have a nice conversation with her. She has no regard for anyone else living in this house. I have know druggies, I came from a bad home, so why the hell would I want my kid around that. People make to meny excuses and need to held accountable for there action! Its nice to see how many poeple think about the woman breaking the law and how she is such a victim. I have all the excuses and more then she probley does to be pretty messed up and high as a kite, but I am not! And what about the fact that she has not paid her rent? or shes smoking in the house making children sick? And having sex for money? and the activity at all hours of the night. So just because “society” made her who she is my family should just have to deal with it? NO!
I am using a wireless connection to setup 360 live. I have tried everything possible that xbox.com support has told me to do. But what ever I do, IP address keeps saying failed. Can somebody please help me before my son drives me so crazy i pull out all my hair or go on a drinking binge…LOL..
Thanks in advance
He graduated high school with a computer tech I certificate. I sent him to live with his Father, but Dad is in and out of town on work alot. SOn is partying then and inviting up buddies last wk while dad out of town
Someone close to me has made the families life a misery for twenty odd years now. She has been drinking on and off for all of these years and made my mums life and her sons life hell. Every time something happens in her life (bad) she hits the bottle. And loses so much weight with no eating food, just vodka that it cant be doing her any good inside. How can it not have affected her liver?? She drinks and drinks for about 5 months and then goes off it for a while and then starts again. How has it not killed her yet?? I cant understand that at all.
