Question: I hate to visit family?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:41 PM PST

I don't want them to come to my house and I don't want to come to theirs. I love them but I just don't like being in a crowded area. I just want to get up and leave. Im antisocial. Am I wrong

Question: What can I do to help my grandma and get her out of the house?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:39 PM PST

My grandma has lived with us for about 10 years after her and my grandpa retired. I m not kidding when I say my grandma hasn t been out of the house more than 20 times in the last 10 years. The only time she ever goes out is to go to the doctor and even that s a struggle to get her out of the house. Every time we ask her to go out to eat with us she always says "next time ." However if we go out to eat without telling her she will say something like "you should ve told me, I would ve went." She also orders a bunch of clothes and shoes that she never wears. Her closet is absolutely full of unopened boxes. Every day we get about 3 or 4 boxes that she ordered and NONE of them are opened. My grandpa was always the one who shopped snd went out but she never wanted to leave the house. On Christmas, we all went to my uncles and she said she was sick and didn t wanna go yet sarcastically said "that s okay, you guys go, I ll be fine eating cereal on Christmas." Also she will use whatever grandpa said to justify he own words and actions. For example, we got a new dog and she said that we can t keep it because grandpa didn t like black dogs. I love my grandma and what do you think I can do to help?

Question: Is my dad making the right choice considering the age difference and his health?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:18 PM PST

Last year my dad got involved with a 19 yr old woman, they dated for a couple of months. She got pregnant and then they broke up for awhile. This past Sunday she gave birth to the baby and didn't want my dad there at all, but her mom called him and told him to come anyways. On New Years Eve, my dad had a kidney stone attack and had to go to the ER. They told him he had 4 kidney stones that would likely pass within the next week, so when he went up to the hospital to her and the baby, he was in definant discomfort from the stones. By Sunday he had either passed 1 or 2 of them. I guess the visit went better than expected and her and my dad ended up kissing while she held the baby. There's a pic supposedly. I found out this morning that she and the baby will be moving into my dad's house this weekend and that they're back in a relationship. Is this bad? Do you hear wedding bells soon? Is she moving in mainly because of the baby? He just had another round of kidney stones, so his health is still a concern. Would she even care being only 20 years old and my dad 54?

Question: My sister is sort of a pain...?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:10 PM PST

Every time I do something for her she complains and starts whining about it I do a lot for her. If I don't have time to help her with something she whines about it my brother on the other hand does the opposite he is more quite and does not whine about everything. When you are around her she would put up and act especially if you are and adult. I feel I am being used for things what should I do!!

Question: Can I get my parents arrested for using me as a free babysitting service?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:02 PM PST

I'm tired of it. My mom takes naps & leave me with the babies for like an hour. 1 of them frowns at me the whole time. Then other times she'll make me watch my 5 yr old cousin who lives with us. She says take her upstairs & entertain her. Which means stupid games. And that little cow pulls my hair. I have 2 grandmas & a dad. They should babysit but they always have excuses. My mom won't even ask my grandmas. she says my dad can't cuz he's at work. I don't think he is at work! Hes lying. He comes home at 8pm, smells like he been drinking. when my mom ask if he wants food, he's says hes stuffed. Work? Yeah right. I bet he just goes out with friends. I complained to my dad &he called me a little sh-t. said help your mom for the hour a day she asks for. I do help her in other ways all the time, like carrying her handbag & getting stuff from the store. Hes acting like I don't help her. He even threaten to stop "helping" me by paying for my food and clothes & activities, if I keep whining about doing them a favor. Well he has to pay for those things. They're my parents. I didn't ask to be babysitter. I shouldnt have to earn my stuff by babysitting. And my dad said I should take it as a compliment that they trust me to babysit, when last year they wouldn't trust me to make a slice of toast unsupervised. Wtf. My parents are very insulting. my mom shouldn't of had twins if she's so weak. She should of just had one baby like other people do. Can I get them arrested I'm not a slave And I said to my dad why can't u look after the babies and he said he does after work but he can't come home so my mom can take a nap. Well he should reduce his hours then. Nobody is forcing him to work like 12 hours a day (if he even is at work) He lie so much that he would reduce his hours if he could but he's needed at the moment. Yeah needed at the bar I bet

Question: I can hear my parents having sex all the time. How do I stop hearing it?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 11:57 AM PST

I recently moved back in with my parents for a little while so I can save up money to buy a car. I don't know what changed since I left, but they've been much louder when they're in bed together. Whenever they do it I can hear them doing it. I'm not sure if they've had more sex since I left or they were quieter about it before, but I never heard them doing it when I was growing up. I now hear my mom saying really dirty things to my dad. It's things any daughter does not want to hear her mom saying. I haven't talked to them about it because that would be really awkward. I've tried to hint to them about it, but they seem to brush it off. Is there any way I can stop hearing my parents having sex? PS-I'm 19 if it makes a difference. I lived on my own for a while, but I'm living with my parents just until I have enough for a car

Question: I'm in so much trouble... :(?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 11:25 AM PST

I was putting my mums car back on the drive after I had reversed it so I could get my things out of the garage, but I hit the post by accident. I damaged the car and took it back to bare metal! :( none of us knew until today when she rang me in an appealing mood, saying when she gets home I better have a good excuse? Oh no. What do I do? Thanks.

Question: How does a mother react to learning that the father of her child isn't who she thought he was?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 11:22 AM PST

I'm currently writing a story where this issue is a large plot point. The basic scenario is thus: The mother is told that her husband might not be the kid's biological father. This is a possibility that had never crossed her mind before, but she does come to the realization that it may be completely possible. She decides to do a DNA test to get a definitive answer. Is that a reasonable reaction? Or would she be more skeptical? Perhaps even outright denying? What emotions would she feel? Doubt? Confusion? Worry? Guilt? Fear? Here's some more detail to the situation: The child in question is 14. The one who told the mother was the sister, who went to her after talking with the kid, who had been told by the 'other guy' about his suspicions. So to recap, Guy thinks Kid is his, Kid gets irritable and thinks Guy is a load of crap, Sister pesters and learns of issue, Sister asks Mother to confirm or deny. A possible important factor is that the Other Guy supposedly has proof.

Question: Why is my mom so lazy and why cant she help out more?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 11:16 AM PST

We have a tiny family. Recently, my mom was hospitalized and we had to do everything for her. I cooked, cleaned, etc all while bring pregnant. I am disabled due to arthritis and take care of my kids. My family do not believe in outside childcare and my mom lives around the corner. I asked her nicely if she would watch my 2 year old (mind you I am 9 mos pregnant and still working and a 2 yr old is hard to handle while talking to a dr) while I took our oldest to the dr. She declined and said she needed to sleep (which is her excuse for everything). She is a hoarder who lives alone and claims my kids come and tear up her house when they are rarely there. She demands I clean her pig sty up for her. Today, I asked if she could pick my oldest up (I had to cancel dr appt) because I am having pain and could have this baby any day now. She declined. All she does is lay in bed and sleep or in her recliner. My husband and I are tired of her laziness and I called her an ugly name after my husband said I needed to "tell her off or he would". Now she is crying foul. Why is she so incredibly lazy? She is 350 lbs.

Question: Does this make sense?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 11:05 AM PST

My immediate family and I are pretty close but at times we just don't click I'm not all that close to my extended family like most my friends are to theirs, I'm leaving soon for the military and I feel like I won't be home much I love my family but I don't like them....does this make sense?

Question: My Mom doesn't let me do anything!?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 11:02 AM PST

Well I'm 17 and my mom doesn't let me shave my moustache and she doesn't let me go out of the house. I don't have any friends in my neighborhood coz my mom never lets me leave the house. I only have school friends and I can't meet them coz of winter vocations. All I do throughout the day is to play clash of clans and study. How can I make my mother let me do whatever I want?

Question: Should I ask my brother for help with moving expenses or tough it out based on my expenses?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 10:56 AM PST

In about a week, I'll be moving off to university in another city. I'll be in an apartment style dorm meaning that it'll pretty much be a 4 bedroom apartment with a shared kitchen, living room, and bathroom that I'll be sharing with 3 other girls. This sounds great from one perspective because we have our own kitchen, but this also means that my University put me on a 7 meal plan so I only get 7 meals a week from the cafeteria, which is not enough obviously. I have less money than I expected to have after my current boss decided she wasn't going to give me anymore work after I put in my two weeks notice and I had to pay my car payment and insurance. I do have another job lined up in the city I'm relocating too, but I know I probably won't get a paycheck for two or three weeks. Right now I have about $280, but I'm thinking ahead. It's going to cost me about $30 in gas to get to the school (hybrid). I found a twin set of bedding for about $35 at Target. I might buy another pillow which I found for $10 at Kohls. I'm going to need to buy shampoo and toothpaste as I'm running out of those so let's call that $7. Parking permit $35. Everything else I already have. So I would be left with around $163. I feel like that's not enough because I'm going to need groceries until I get a paycheck. My brother offered to help me a little while back, but I don't want to ask him for money unless I really need it. Should I ask him though or see if I can tough it out?

Question: OMG HELP MEH PLZZZZZ!?

My cousin Jessie is very rude and bratty. whenever we go to family parties, she always get so mad and is rude to everyone and drags me to an empty room and makes me stay there while she goes on her phone. during family dinners (Christmas, thanksgiving, ect.) she eat super fast then she bugs me to finish fast so we can go on our phones, even if I want to talk with my family.

Question: How do I determine who to live with (orphaned)?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 09:30 AM PST

I'm almost 14 and my (single) mom passed away in Sept. It has been difficult, but I've had a lot of emotional help and I am doing reasonably well. But I need to make a decision of where to live, and it is really difficult. My dad and I have next to no relationship. He left when I was 2 and we have barely had any contact since. He is offering to take me, but I think it would be really awkward, he's never really been in my life, he is remarried with kids of his own, and he hardly sounds excited about me now, more like he is "willing" because it is the right thing to do. The other option is my aunt, who is married to a wonderful man and has 2 daughters I am very close with. She loves me, wants to adopt me, wants to make me part of the family. And I want that too. But she has also been very clear that if I want to live here, that means her treating me the same as she does them, and her discipline does include spankings......only as a last resort, not common, but they do happen, and she isn't willing to negotiate. And right or wrong she is steadfast on this, and my age does not change her opinion. I've never really been spanked (like maybe once when I was little), I'm a total wimp about pain, and this really scares me. I'm a good kid and rarely in trouble, but I'm not crazy enough to think I'll NEVER get in trouble, especially because she is fairly strict (reasonable, but strict). So it really scares me. But so does living with a "father" I don't really know.... Advice???

Question: Is my mother wrong or am i wrong? And who is more wrong? Family problem! 10 points to best answer!?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 09:09 AM PST

The woman in her 42's call herself a mother, which i respect since she raised me (even though with bullying). I live under my parents house, and my mother worked 3 years in her WHOLE LIFE. She always sleeps, and when we get in fight, which is every day, she says "i am done with my work, and i did what i did". She wants to say that she "worked", so she is so tired about those 3 years in her 20's. So, she says for my friend all bad things, she is unintelligent a bit, and she verbally abuses me mostly for no reason at all. She always complains. And she always calls me a fag*ot, mother*ucker, that i "need" to go and "suck a d*ck", "black d*ck". She said she wishes i was never born, and that's my limit. So, all the things she said to me, i say to her back with the same strength and nastiness. Because i can't handle that one homophobic parent is abusing me in so many ways (i'm not gay). But it bothers me how much arrogance she has.

Question: Should I tell my parents I'm moving out?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 09:08 AM PST

I'm 18 (a legal adult), my parents are very abusive, mostly emotionally and lack of nourishment (use to be physical to), they don't care about me, always complain how I'm a failure and I should I already be moved out. So they won't even see this coming. I plan to move in with my online friend tomorrow (whom I know I can trust), who lives about 5 hours away. So should I even bother telling my parents? Also if I want to finish school up there (only have 2 more classes), do all I need is a transcript?

Question: I have NO IDEA what to do. I'm on the verge of giving up?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 09:08 AM PST

I'm 23 and I don't have the same goals as everyone else. I don't want a lot of money. I don't even want a car. I just want a job that I love. I'm not exceptionally good at anything and I haven't found anything that I'm REALLY passionate about except my love for animals. I just left a job because of conflict going on between my mom and I. She has literally controlled every aspect of my life and doesn't care about my dreams...she brushes them off and wants me to do what she wants. She never wants to talk about what I want for "my" life. When I wanted to go to college, she wouldn't pay for the testing that I needed because I don't think she believed in me (I was underage at the time). Instead she wanted me to go to vocational schools that offered classes that I wasn't interested in. She wants me to have an office job...I'm more of an outdoorsy person. I like working with my hands. I have no clue what I'm gonna do now because I quit my job because of her!!!!!!! The only things I feel a strong connection with in life are music, animals, plants, space, photography and artsy things. I'm not a "people person". I'm not a paperwork person. I'm not an office cubicle person. I could never do that. I just can't find my place in life. What should I do? When I was young, I had so much passion and spark for the things I loved but people have ruined it for me and now I'm lost.

Question: I can't find good friends?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 09:06 AM PST

At my old school, I had two really good friends and we got along perfectly. Now we all go to different schools and I can't find the right crowd to fit into. The girls I hang out with are into things than I'm not and although I don't act like it, I am finding school miserable. I try and hang out with other people sometimes but nobody seems to be like me. Also, my friends at my new school get mad at me when I'm not with them 24/7.

Question: Why does my Mother in Law talk incessantly and repeat the same stories over and over?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 08:49 AM PST

My MIL is a kind, wonderful person and I love her but she's driving me crazy. Whenever she's at our house, she just jabbers away and any conversation topic will lead her into an old story. She's seemingly oblivious to the fact that we've all heard them a hundred times before. She constantly interrupts and it's very hard to have conversation with her. We can't watch a movie or TV without her providing a running commentary that has almost nothing to do with the show. It's not dementia, she's pretty clear minded. My wife says she's always been like this. It's exhausting and frustrating and I'm finding myself getting irritated more frequently. Has anybody ever known someone like this? Update: In response to "Another Crone"... You don't understand. She monologues constantly, when we're at the dinner table, when we go out for a drive, when we're shopping, you name it. One time she couldn't stop talking even when her mouth was packed with gauze after a tooth extraction. The worst thing is when we're at a social function where there's people she doesn't know well. You can see the irritation on other people's faces. It's makes for an awkward situation.

Question: How to communicate with mother?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 07:00 AM PST

I am going to try to shorten this to main current points. I am married adult, mom is remarried. I visit about 4 times a year and every time my husband and I and kids sit in her living room while she and her husband go about cooking and cleaning for his huge family to come over, who all live near by. Once there I don't see or talk to my mom pretty much entire time because she is going around talking to them. On Christmas I called from my house and mom sounded rushed because they were all about to come over that am. So I told her she could call me back. She never did and a couple days later I told her that bugged me that she is busy on Christmas to call because they were there. She got really defensive and sarcastic and said that me and her were going to have major problems if I can't accept she has others in her life she wants to spend time with and enjoy. I told her I understand they are a big part of her life but I don't feel I am a part of her life. She hung up on me. But will comment on my pictures on Facebook. It has been a week. How would you deal with this? I am not even really wanting to talk to her. Francis I am sorry but I don't understand a word of what you wrote.

Question: My brother lost his fiance and whenever I try to talk to him or comfort him he turns against me and gets angry?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 06:41 AM PST

She was a young, beutiful girl with a bright future. She was everything to my brother and when she died, about 7-8 weeks ago, she took half of him with her. But I truly believe she is in a better place. But I am really worried about my brother. He has shut down. Doesn't see anyone, speak to anyone and I'm afraid that he might turn to drinking. My brother have not always seen eye to eye. I am a very religious person and he is the exact opposite. When I do go over to him I just want to let him know that I am there, that he can open up to me. Last time I tried he said: "Oh, let me guess what is coming now. She is in a better place, she was such a wonderful person that God wanted her for herself or maybe time heals all wounds. You know what? F**k you and your God. She is not in a better place. She is dead. So stop trying to tell me anything else". I'm almost scared of going over there. I was just trying to help. Maybe I should stop going?

I live in Ohio I'm planning to go and see my bestfriend in Mississippi my parents know about this and they are fine with it. They don't know that I am planning to fly out to LA for 4 days and 3 nights after spending 3 days with my bestfriend in Mississippi. Do I really have to tell them? I'm planning on buying a ticket from Mississippi to Ohio so they don't know I'm actually coming back from LA. They are overprotective and give me a hard time about traveling my mom said she's going to call me once a day while I'm gone. I am telling my bestfriend where I'm going so she knows.

Question: Help Not get caught skipping?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 05:14 AM PST

I just got braces and need some time to get used to them. All of my other friends got time off a day or two for theirs. My dad won't let me so I skipped. I forgot my dad doesn't work till 4 today so I'm home with him. He doesn't get calls from the school and he doesn't check my bed room as far as I know. I plan on sneaking out the window and coming in the door at 3:30.

Question: How do I prove to my Mom she's being unfair & showing favoritism!?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 05:01 AM PST

SO! I'm 18 & grounded because I went to McDonald's to do homework. Homework! I did my homework then picked up my little brother from B-Ball practice. When my sister was caught out late at parties, twice, she didn't get grounded! My little brothers never do their chores, b/c they're on there play-station, & don't get grounded. Why am I any different? Is it the middle child thing or does my mom just show hardcore favoritism? Whatever it is, how do I fix it? If I can't, what's the best way out?

Question: My 29 year old brother has threatened to cut me and my mum up.. what should I do?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 04:38 AM PST

My brother is 29, still lives at home, he doesn't have a job or pay my mum a penny and smokes weed all day. He spends his nights playing loud music and banging around in my mums garage- which keeps us and the neighbors awake, but he simply does not care about anyone but himself. At midday my mum woke him up, this sent him into an angry rage as usual! He starts screaming and shouting, punching walls and smashing items up. When I ran downstairs (because I was concerned for my mums safety) he held a kettle full of boiling hot water over me and repeatedly threatened to cut me and my mum up. About a month ago he said he would bury me in our garden and he has beaten me up multiple times, not just in childhood. Previously, he has hit and damaged my car with a spanner, and come at me with a knife and always has a psychotic glaze in his eyes. I am in my final year at University and luckily I live away from home a lot of the time but in 4-5 months I will be moving back home and I am not sure if I can (or should have to) put up with his threatening abusive behaviour. My mum 'babies' him and soon forgives the way he has acted. I have pleaded with her in the past to make him move out or get help, she has been to the doctors about his behaviour before, then when he goes to the appointment they only see him calm and friendly and nothing ever comes of it. I am at my last nerve, close to calling the police and reporting him.

Question: Which degree should get?? :)?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 04:37 AM PST

my mom suggest me to Biotechnology my dad suggest me to Biomedical Sciences. One of my relatives is now studying Biomedical Sciences degree and say that it is so hard that you will need a lot of memorizing long names, but also quite need to use your ''Brain power'' to brainstorm. When i hear this, it really scare me as my relative say that it is so hard that almost need to chnage the degree, but then again my relative say since in the field already, he will continue it , since changing degree IS a waste of money as my background is not financially Very good. Actually, if i go with my interest, i would love to get a degree in physics ,but my addmath is average, and alot of people say that physics may sound cool, interesting, but when you started to failing and failing....your interest in it will started to fade, and make you harder to survive till the end.Changing courses may needed if it is so hard so i think i better stick with Bio and Chem major and cancelled out the Physics idea. If go with Bio and Chem, i am actually narrowing down my interest, i am stuck between whether to major in Bio or Chem as my results on these two are almost the same average, and Bio and Chem will be hard if your interest towards them are only moderate, Okay, now moving on to the idea of what if i cancelled out the idea of majoring in all three sciences and go an get a degree in art,like graphic design, because peple say it is easy to manage and you will not kill by the hardness if you get art degrees, right? i am actually still figuring out what suit my personality best... Can you all list what personality should go to what type of majoring?

Question: How do I get my mother to let me visit my father again and how do I get him to file for visitation in court?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 03:44 AM PST

I want to see both parents but my mother uses me to get back at my father and my father won't go to court as he says he is tired of fighting my mother. Both put their feelings towards each other before me and it hurts me everyday. My father is somewhat sympathetic in emails but won't file in court and my mother just tells me he doesn't love me even if he likes me. She then spends an hour insulting him ending with "I don't even line to talk about it he hurt me so much" and then talking more.

Question: My stepmother is obsessed with me calling her mom!?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 02:01 AM PST

My mom died when I was 3 and she and my dad got married when I was 6. From the beginning, she wanted to pass me off as her daughter. The first time I was ever in trouble with her was when I asked my dad if I could stand beside him during the wedding instead of being a flower girl/bridesmaid, since I always hated wearing dressed and I didn't really want to be in her part of the wedding. I ended up without a role, which worked better for me. She and my dad attempted to cut my maternal family from my life, but then when my grandparents stopped sending money, they allowed them back in. But my stepmother would always gloat about how she was raising me and not my real mom. All this happened in front of me and it would make me sick. I've been punished on numerous occasions in the last 9 years for not calling her mom or getting her a stepmother birthday card instead of a mom one. When I told my friends she was my stepmother, not my mom, it would make her and my dad so angry. He would sit me down at least 3 times a year and tell me my mom was gone and I should cherish my stepmother more and open my heart to her as my mom, because she was doing everything a mom would do. And when I pointed out how she didn't have my best interests at heart and hated me mentioning my mom, he would tell me it was hard for her and I needed to be more understanding. Even now, but they even have their kids (my half siblings) trying to break me and get me to call her mom. Help! He gets angry when I bring it up. I've been told to stop being selfish. That my mom is dead but I have a living, breathing person willing to take over and that should be enough for me.

Question: Why do so many kids and youth over-retaliate?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:22 AM PST

Example: One, say grade 4 student, throws a wadded paper ball at another and the unbalanced retaliation might very well be the retaliating victim bashing the perpetrator in the head with a textbook or punch that causes bleeding. I see this type of thing so often.

Question: Should I let my older sister live me with?

Posted: 07 Jan 2016 12:08 AM PST

I'm a 25 year old male that has been living by myself for a while now. Two years exactly and now my older sister who is 27 just got evicted from her apartment because she couldn't provide for herself. Now needing a place to stay she's staying with me for now until she can finish her schooling. Me and her were always arguing before when we lived together before I moved out. Everytime I see her I get enraged and I hate this feeling because we don't have a good relationship together. She never shown me that she's responsible, always depending people for financial needs and never the type that listens. She only cares about herself. The past year she lived by herself my dad has helped her paid for her rent and car payments and yet I feel mad when she did this this whole time. I am financially stable and held on my own for two years without none of my parents help. Now that she needs a place to stay I don't want her to give her another chance because of our past relationship and I know where it's gona go if she gets comfortable. My dad wants us to live together so I can help her but I don't want too. She's finishing her vocational school 10 days from now and after that I want her out. I don't want to live with her in the long run again I like my own independence and responsibility. We are growing up old and I want to learn from her own mistakes... She says she needs to stay with me until she gets her better paying job and save up but I don't want too... What should I do?

Question: Do your adult children expect you to help them out?

Posted: 06 Jan 2016 11:53 PM PST

My husband paid somewhere around $10K to get his son out of college debt and today he asked his dad for another $1500 for what he says is a college loan from 5yrs ago. He never graduated and its been a financial pit. I loaned my son the money to go on his honeymoon in July 2014, gave him $3000 for his wedding, and my car to get to the cruise ship and never got re paid, and his wife is on vacation right now in California. My husband and I have not been on a vacation since 2004. They seem to think its ok since she went with her mom and they got the plane tickets in Sept. My husbands son called tonite to lay a guilt trip on him and told him he got the money somewhere else. He is 27 yrs old, and has been on at least 2 vacations in the last year.. just got back from the carribean in the fall. When do you tell these brats to get their own money.. work a 2nd job and stop mooching?

Question: GF forced on family?

Posted: 06 Jan 2016 11:21 PM PST

Our family Xmas are lots of fun, we play gift games & charades. Each year we lose a family member, lastest was my sister-in-law died swiftly from cancer. At her funeral in May my newly widower brother was detained after the service by a woman the family did not know. We later learned from him that she was a friend of a friend and offered to bring him a meal the next week. He tells us she prepared the meal at his house and she spoke alot about herself, mostly lies to impress him, then she undressed and seduced him. He says the meal and sex was good, but now she keeps calling and showingup. He has not gotten rid of her, now he is dating her! We all loved my sister-in-law and because my brother told the family these things we hate her, but he has fallen in love with her and insist that she attend family Xmas. His daughter says if that girl comes she will stay home Xmas. So we had Xmas without our favorite niece. We mostly just looked at each other without saying much it was so awkward. We all regret that this christmas we had 2 family members missing instead of 1. My sister and I don't want to bother taking that long journey home, if his gf will be there next year instead of our niece. Mom was upset when we told her. What should we do?
