02/15 Mr. Mooch

The first guy, sorry I don't remember his name, was a real dirt bag!  He needs a warning tattoo on his forhead for all future women that would consider dating him.  What is wrong with this guy, someone please tell me!!!!!!

Quote From: omnium2

This controlling, overweight mother of the two daughters (the hypercritical Mom) is EXACTLY LIKE MY MOTHER....to a TEE! It's scarey!
Isn't it sad when you can relate so closely to the people on TV?  I was embarrassed watching it.  My god, our moms and this mom should go bowling!!!

I am so sorry

Quote From: papillon79

        I watched this show in hopes that I could see my situation in these guests.  I hoped to see a really bad parent and see what Dr. Phil's advice would be in dealing with them.  My mother and I cant get along if our lives depended on it.  I have tried to make peace with her but it always fails.  I am at a loss with what to do I need advice and maybe one of you may have some advice for me.  My brother and I had a not so happy childhood and I do not hold that against her.  But by her third marriage she found a wonderful man with no drug problems and was no abusive and our lives got better.  When I was 14 she decided to have more children and my little brother and sister came right after each other.  After 10 years of marriage she went back to her cheating ways.  She started making me lie for her so she could go be with her boyfriend.  I was only 16 and couldn't take the pressure so I told my step dad about the affairs and the lying.  He talked to her and she told him that I lied just to break them up, so they kicked me out.  I was living at friends house and in cars for a year when she finally told the truth to him and moved out to go live with her boyfriend.  I then moved back home to take care of my 3 year old brother and 2 year old sister.  Her boyfriend had children and she didn't want them anymore.  I have taken care of them ever since.  They grew up calling me mommy.  People always thought I was my step dad's wife.  I have gotten married and have my own home but still take care of my brother and sister that are 13 and 11 now.  I have tried to get along with her for the kids but we just end up fighting over her lack of responsibility.  This is just scratching the surface of all the things that have happened.  I just fight with her everyday even though I wont talk to her anymore, she calls my siblings and tells them to tell me things.  She calls family and tells them lies just to cause drama.  When she gets mad and you she is very vindictive.  I just don't know how to get away from someone that wont leave you alone. 

Wow, that is quite a story.  I am so sorry to hear that you have had this life.  You can't not talk to her huh?  Maybe just tell your family that you don't want to hear anything your mother has to say so please don't relate any messages from her????  Do you think that may work?   

I know it is your mother and believe me it is hard to cut ties but it can be done and that is when you can start to heal. 

Good luck!!!

Can't wait to see the show

Unfortunately, I have to wait until Thursday to see the show.  I am sure I will see my ex and my fiance's ex there!  Those 2 are psychological studies if I have ever seen one!!!! 

I don't know why people just can't walk away from relationships.  Why the drama?  I mean, why not just move on with your life!!!!!

02/17 Family Troublemakers

Quote From: mamagran

I, too, have big big family problems. My daughter and her boyfriend (husband now) had severely abused her little boy at 11 months old. I have had custody of him since then. He is now 5. My husband and I adopted him, and by the grace of God , he is doing fine. When we got him, he had broken ribs, fractured skull, bleeding behind his eye, bruised heart, and bruised liver. My daughter, who I hardly ever talk to, and I have so much resentment to, doesnt understand why I just dont forget it, and continue our relationship.  She calls me such terrible names, and is very abusive to me. Her husband is very abusive to her. He cracked her head open a few months ago. She is also Bi polar, and will not take medication. I keep our little boy away from them, to protect him. She cannot understand that. I need help in my resentment, and anyone know if there is something I should do different. Our little boy is doing excellent now, and above everyone in his class, and is very happy, secure, and well adjusted. She also had another child after this happened. The state took him away at birth, and took her parental rights awayAny one out there, can help???

Wow, that is sad.  I am very proud of you for taking in your grandson and helping him the way you have.  Have you thought about counseling with your daughter.  Or maybe, writing her a long letter telling her how you feel?  This always helps me.

I don't know

After following this couple, I just don't know if Charles is sincere.  I want so badly to believe he is but he seems like he is up to something.  First it was 4 times then 3, then 2, WHAT???  If the guy is having a midlife crisis, why not go buy a car or something.  No, he has to go get another woman!!!! 

Why does he have to be such a bad example to other men and his sons?  Where is the self control? 

I don't know, good luck to you both and I hope you find what you are looking for!!!!

Feeling better

 I wrote a bit back about whether or not to call my mother and family when I am in labor.  Well, the day is finally here, well almost.  I have been in labor since last Thursday and I am going insane at this point.  The doc says anytime now but I am getting increasingly impatient. 

  

 

I have to say that my emotions are starting to get the best of me.  I long for the concern of a family and friends and there is none.  I feel so betrayed.  I have done so much for all of them, do you know how many baby showers I planned for these people, fundraisers, name it.  I think back to these times when I never expected anything back except for the knowledge of making someone feel good if only for a moment.  And now when I am in need, there is no one.  In fact, my ex is starting problems with me now, when I am in labor.  Calling my daughter's school yesterday causing problems and making a scene!  We were so embarrassed!

  

 

I just found out that he didn't pay her school tuition when he said that he was going to.  Where is this money going to come from now, there is a baby coming and I have to come up with $2000.00 now.  I could just slap him!  He is the definition of deadbeat!  OOOOOOO, what loathe I have for him right now!  And no one cares.  I could be their dumping ground but god forbid I have a problem! 

  

 

How can I deal with these feelings?  I feel ashamed of myself thinking that someone would give back to me what I have given them!  I feel ashamed for wanting some peace in my life.  I just don't know what to do! 

  

 

My daughter is suffering because she has no family.  She has my fiance, and me but for a 13 year old, is that enough.  I just don't know.
