  • Who has family problems?

    I don't have problems with my immediate family; I mean as a kid my older sister and I didn't get along and both of my parents drank more then was good for them, but, I am happy to say that in the last years of her life my mother reformed and made a real honest effort to stop drinking. My father still drinks to much but I haven't lived with him for years so it doesn't really effect me in any way. The real reason I'm writing this thread is because of my adopted cousin. My aunt and uncle adopted her and her younger brother when they were 3 and 2 respectively because they could not have children of their own and they thought they had this perfect little family.

    It turns out that both of their biological parents were big drug addicts and their biological mom used cocaine all throughout both of their pregnancies. In the end police found my new born male cousin and his 12 month old sister locked in a car without any adult in sight. When police broke into the car they found both of them were dehydrated and had diapers which had been dirty for a day or two, Their biological parents had had seven kids before them and all had been taken by the state because they were such worthless drug addled **** bags.

    In any event my aunt and uncle were not told about the prenatel drug abuse until well after they had adopted. That meant they had already bonded with the two kids by the time they found out both were severally screwed up by their biological mother's drug abuse. The result is they have tried very hard to help their children dispite the fact that both have been very disabled and emotionally scared. To add to this problem the biological father is a convicted sex offender who has sexually abused several of their biological brother's and sisters and who is thought (though not proven) to have sexually abused by adopted female cousin. The whole situation is screwed up.

    To make things worse Tammy (my adopted female cousin) haa gone and had a baby at the age of 19 with her often astranged boyfriend. Psychologists have told her parents that she is acting like many sexually abused girls by being sexually permiscuios and getting pregnany early. It is obvious she has relationship issues but to make matters worse she has gone and picked up a crystal meth habit. My aunt is a social worker and by law she must inform police when ever a child is endangered so, true to law, she reported her own daughter when drug abuse was discovered.

    The results where predictable. Tammy and her off again on again boyfriend lost the baby to social services while my aunt & uncle completed the process to become foster parents. Yesterday they completed the legal proceeedings and got custody of their granddaughter. My cousin and her on again off again boyfriend are very pissed off that their child has been taken away from them. Tammy just doesn't think that her drug abuse wasa that big of a deal nor does her boyfriend and neither understands why the court has ordered them to take parenting classes plus they have refused to attend the classes for the last two weeks. The two idiots just can't understand why the court keeps ruling against them. idiots:

    Who doesn't have family problems?


    I've got a teenage brother that has physical confrontations with dad (this past winter dad took an unopened can of soda off the side of the head....)

      First I am going to say this. These kids had been taken away early in life from a situatuion that was bad. Rasied by to different people that were i am assuming responsible. The problem with the dumb ass things they do as adults have no real relationship to what the loser first parents did. They had a choice to do drugs or not they chose the wrong one. I say this cause i know for a fat just cause ur molested as a child doesnt make you a child molester when you get older. I know this cause i know someone that is very close to me that was molested and is a very good lady now she fights the child molesters didnt become one. fights the drug addits didnt become one. its a matter of choice weakness and strength

        the cycle continues

        my dad drank alot, but he drank himself to death. So I can't consider him a screwed up member of the family.

        My extended family are all religious and consequently good people (I just put that part in too piss off the godless folks). My mom's side is catholic, and my dad's side is mormon. I think my dad had a cousin who was always in trouble with the law. Nothing major, just your usual white trash stuff. drugs and such.

        In retrospect, I have a pretty good family. honest, hard working, law abiding.

        It's kind of weird actually. we are all fairly honest and don't steal. It's hard living in a world where everyone steals. I trust no one. I know this isn't a good thing. But I would never consider having a non family member as a roomate. No one in family has ever stolen from me.

        See. Religious folks do have good values.

          in all honesty i have a father no deceased that cheated on my mother and my mother took it and stayed, he used to whipp us kids for not having the dishes done whenhe wanted he was a total jerk. I have to say the cycle doesnt continue unless you as a person let it. I have 3 kids and have never whipped them. i dont allow cheating on me in my life. Tuberski ever cheats hes out on his ass so fast he wouldnt have time to pack. You as a person choose the life you want. as you reach adult hood. I choose to not be like my mother put my self through college paid for by me and moved away. I kow have been on my own since i was a senior in hi school and that was in 1987. Yes i didnt live at home when i was a senior i got a job rented a plae nd finished hi school. then put myself thru college. My choice though

            My parents both we alcoholics but I my brother and I don't drink too much. I used to but have cut way down for the last 10 years. Recently I quit beer altogether and just drink a couple of glasses of wine maybe once a week, if that often. So you don't have to be your parents. Maybe when your cousin and her bf grow up they won't be so bad. Alot can happen...and it is true that young people can be pretty dumb at times. So it might not be the dugs her parents abused.

            Sadly the burden falls on others...

              great-grandfather on my mother's side is an alcholic and has not been in contact with my family for decades. He might be dead now.

              grandfather and grandmother and most of my mother's side are homophobic hicks from Ontario whose life revolves around "the Ford plant"

              grandfather and grandmother from my father's side are dead, but were great people

              father works too much

              mom is a bit dense, but a wonderful person

              brother is a genius-with-a-photographic memory and into racing, and races his school's Formula SAE car, and designs it as well (honours mech. eng at Waterloo - http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~fsae/2005/)

              I seem relatively stupid in comparison.

              All in all, nothing like a lot of people have to put up with.

                Nobody in my family is a druggie or boozer, although my uncle has been married four times.

                  My mother is a little crazy.

                  Well, a lot actually. Rather embarrassing to tell the truth. I may be on the questionable side of sanity but still hope her particular breed of 'i want to kill my own daughter' etcetc doesn't run in the family.

                  It's not so much a family problem now as I never see her.

                  And of course, lets remember, its an 'illness' so can't possibly be her fault

                    Nothing to say here, from my side of the family. But my gf's side is a bit screwed up considering her father is a workoholic that cant stop himself from screwing everybody he meets into stupid business ideas that never end up anywhere but in court or result in a big loss of money.....Her mother drinks to much and I just know that later on in life we will have to support her because my gf's screwed up sister sure as hell cant keep a freakin job or amount to anything in life except borrowing money from us......

                    Great!

                      I use to, but now my family doesn't comunicate (and my father committed suicide a while back)

                      I guess my sister still is trouble.. but I don't chooise to think about her (and I think that my extended relatives are succeeding in taking all her kids from her)

                          My family is a perfect. Half of us are alcoholics the other half pop Zoloft like it's going out of style... Thus, we are all happy, dazed, and confused.

                            My immediate family is all pretty okay. I'm probably the most ****ed up person of the bunch and I'm not too insane... The most exciting bit I can tell you is my parents are divorced.

                            I don't really know my extended family too well, but there aren't any addicts or abusers among them as far as I know. I haven't seen most of them in years, and when I did see them it was usually only once or twice a year.

                            That doesn't mean everything is just rosy, obviously. Just that I don't know of any severely screwed-up family members.

                              Save for the fact that I hated my borther when I was younger, because he picked on me to the extreme, there are no problems in the immediate family. My parents have a great relationship with their respective families as well.

                              In my extended family, there are two over-protective mothers. One of them had an only child, who has "enjoyed" being this woman's only focus in life. There were huge demands on him, which wasn't too much of a problem as long as he was successful. When he was fired, however, he became crazy for weeks, and is still quite mentally fragile now.
