He would most definitely end up hospitalized. so going there to tear apart the house isn't an option. hey...I bet that they are in a bag in the garage... Good Luck Mel! |

and I happened to mention how incredibly far behind I am. she asked why-I am pretty sure that she wasn't actually asking. I said it is because there is way too much stress in my life right now. she said...maybe right now isn't the right time for school.
I am now all upset...I don't want to put school off because my family has health issues...am I suppose to bide my time until my dad dies? will I ever actually get back to school? the stress is mostly rooted in my family's issues and the emotional burden that my mom passes on to me from the incredible amount of stress in her life...no one would want to be in her shoes. yes, getting behind in school further compounds this, but still... Sometimes I wish that I was more like Teresa (my other sister) and could just move out of town. I would probably be a lot healthier if I wasn't so tied up with my family's constant health nightmare. |

I realize that it is incredibly hard and unfair that she has to deal with all this...her life consists of taking care of my dad and sister - whenever she is awake, and then there are times when she is woken up because one of them needs help. Only you can make that decision Mel - good luck with it... Maybe your Mum needs some outside support from someone? Someone removed from the family/situation.. Im sure its hard on her Take Care I feel really really bad for her and try to help out as much as I can, but at the same time I need to make sure that I am taking care of myself as well. |

And I'm still a slob to this day. But I knew that leaving notes saying "Bring it on B#tches" was definitely a bad idea with some serious hell to pay if I tried it. I so dread when my DD gets to be that age. She is so dramatic now. my mom gave up on me ever cleaning my room fairly early on...but the worst that I left lying around was some dirty dishes and dirty clothes. you could rarely see the carpet and there was stuff heaped at least 2 feet high everywhere. And then there was the period that I pulled some boxes out from under the basement stairs and made myself a little cave. I lived in there for several months. it was really little...just big enough for me and a heap of pillows and blankets. i was a slob as well! the note thing - nope wouldn't have dared on the upside, you'll make it through! i did |

I dont know what the situation is in the USA but is there someone she can talk to like a priest, counsellor type service or individual. Im sure its a terrible burden on her and someone who actually understands what she is going through and trained in this area might really make her life (and as a result yours) easier... Not to diminish what you are all coping with right now but just to ease the emotional burden on a daily/weekly basis...I guess a mixture of being able to just talk AND getting practical advice... It isnt my area but is there someone outside of everything that isa professional in this area you can go to for help? Maybe talk to about what you needemotionally...

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Mel.... I know going to your mom's is hard, and not medically recommended.... But is it possible she could just open the garage door for you, and you could head over with out ever entering the house.... Your school definitely should not suffer.... this is something you started knowing that you could get it done under the circumstances. You ![]() You can only control what happens in your life, everything else will just happen... so take control ![]() GOOD LUCK!!!! |

She thinks we disrespect her and treat her bad. Oh really? Leaving notes all over that say "bring it on b+tches" (literally) isn't disrespect?QueenZipp - 2009-03-13 9:43 PM lastcall2003 - 2009-03-13 8:21 PM Where should I start, Beth?QueenZipp - 2009-03-13 12:27 PM I HATE TEENAGERS!!!!...Especially my own! uh oh................... what's happening Judi? She refuses to clean the pig sty known as her room. We gave her a deadline which has since passed. John took away her cell phone. She went on strike and refuses to do anything else. We sent her to her room. She turned on the radio so loud you could hear it 3 counties over. John cut the breaker off to her room. She took the radio to the bathroom and blasted it. John threatened to cut the plug. She left nasty trash talking notes all over the house. She also hid my car keys and it took me 20 minutes to find them today. She is lying to me a bout that one and denies doing it. I won' say what is all over her room, lets just say items of a personal nature that have been USED and belong in the trash. And she is lying around on the effing couch! how's she doing in school? bad stuff going on with friends? We simply expect her to clean the filth she calls a room. To do a couple of simple chores every week. If I did even a minute fraction of what she's throwing out I wouldn't be here to vuss about her nastiness! I don't think that I ever was in quite that stage, but getting on something that regulated my cycle really helped reduce my bitchy phases. Great...I have three girls that 6 and a half years from now will be 17 15 and 12 all at the same time. I can hardly wait! |
