Allymo asked:
This man had been a family friend for about 3 years when he stole my brother’s shotgun. My dad threatened to beat the **** out of him and my family wants nothing to do with him anymore. I got pissed off because I had always seen him as a father figure and he always saw me as a daughter. His daughter absolutely hates him and wants nothing to do with him. He is a great man, and I will never understand why his daughter hates him so much. But it’s been almost a year and I miss him. My family doesn’t want me around him ONLY because he stole somethng. I don’t talk to my dad about it because he gets steamed up. This happened at the beginning of last Summer. Behind my dad’s back, I texted him on Christmas and wished him a Merry Christmas. He texted back saying Merry Christmas and that not even his own daughter had talked to him that day and this was around noonish. I miss him and I want him in my life, but the immaturity my dad is presenting is making that hard. My dad never really cared much for him anyways, so this evnt just gave my dad reason to dislike him more. Forgive and forget is what I think. What should I do?
I’m grown up enough. The reason his daughter hates him is because of his ex wife, putting bad things into her head and because he disiplines her like he’s supposed to. Her mom doesn’t care what she does. While she was underaged, she smoked and drank. I’m in that.

C asked:
I have known my boyfriend for 12 years but have actually been together for about 5 yrs. We want to get married he is 50 I am 30. We talked about having at least 1 child, he was hesitant about it as he has a kid who is 23, and I don’t have any. We separated for a few months to think things through he has now said Yes he wants us to have a family and get married, How can I believe that he won’t change his mind again?

Bleep asked:
My husband and I pastor a small church in rural NC. We recently met a young man (16), whose drug-addicted mother disappeared months ago, leaving him to care for a younger sister alone. Eventually, a family member took the girl in, but not him. He’s been sort of staying wherever her can, bouncing from place to place. I would like to help him but I feel like I have to be careful in how I help. He seems to be a good kid but definitely has a street, “out to get mine” mentality. Plus, I have two little girls at home and I don’t know him well enough yet to be comfortable with him staying with us long-term. Are there any programs out there? Is it possible to get social services involved without them placing him with people he doesn’t know or trust? I’m sure he’ll just run away if that happens. Any suggestions?

Maia J asked:
I don’t get emotionally close to people because it seems when I have done so in adulthood I wind up feeling let down, disappointed, hurt, etc. When I’ve had close friends or been close to extended family, they either let me down, move away, want to control me, use me to boost their own ego in a competitive way, criticize and judge me, or say mean things. I’m really not trying to play the victim, it just seems like I do wind up getting hurt and then distancing from them. I know people aren’t perfect, and I’m sure I’ve done my fair share of being a jerk, but is there a way I can feel close and fulfilled in my relationships without ending up feeling let down? Are my expectations of whack? Maybe I just need to tolerate feeling let down sometimes but still be able to experience the good aspects of the relationships– I don’t know.

Lola asked:
My friends are constantly confiding in me, or asking advice, or just unloading in general. They always say it makes them feel so much better, so I feel good that I can help them like that. But I never get to talk about things that are bothering me; they unload, I advise, and then they sigh, feel better, and change the topic.

Don’t get me wrong – I like that my friends feel they can trust me with their troubles, but geez man! I need to talk sometimes too!

Mrs. kitty asked:
You see my two best friends are my cousin and my little sister. I’m 16 and so is my cousin, and my little sister is twelve. My health teacher told me that its not healthy to be only friends with my family. That I must branch out or something. But ever since I lost my true best friend last year I’ve never really branched outside my family since then. Because my family has always been there for me and I don’t really trust anyone but them. Is this normal? Healthy?
