My mom is an alcoholic; I don’t want her to meet my best friend?

  • Posted on March 19, 2011 at 10:17 pm

This sounds so bad to say, but I really really REALLY don’t want my mom meeting my best friend. My friend lives around here, but is moving to the other side of the country … So, in a couple months I’m going to see her there. My mom wants to come, since I’m only 16 and “not old enough” to go by myself. I have been best friends with this girl for like, forever, but my mom and her have never met. Mainly because my mom is an alcoholic, bottom line … and I didn’t want them meeting. Now my mom says she wants to meet her when I go to see her. [I don't even know why she does though, she never even cared before.] My mom is also very sensitive and gets very verbally abusive if I bring up her drinking. And that is obviously the main reason I don’t want them meeting. So, is there anything I can do to prevent them from meeting? I was thinking of me meeting my friend in a public place then going back to her house to hang out, or something like that … so they wouldn’t meet but I don’t know. I just can’t directly tell my mom no … because of how she is … & My best friend DOES know my mom is an alcoholic, we have talked about it a lot of times. Especially when I’m really upset. When my mom is drunk [which is pretty much all day] she does crazy things … like taking her shirt off or singing and dancing and stuff like that. It’s embarassing. I just don’t want her to see that … Please help me. I’m not trying to sound like the worst daughter on earth but I really can’t stop thinking about how terrible it will be.

My daughter has a half brother out there, how do I find him (if possible) so my daughter can meet him?

  • Posted on September 17, 2010 at 3:26 pm

I have an almost 4 year old daughter with my boyfriend of 5 1/2 years. Recently he lost parental rights because he supposedly abandoned his son. What really happened was the mother was a heroin addict and got with an extremely abusive/controlling man. He tried to fight my boyfriend whenever he tried to see his son. He then went to the courts to complain, to which they did nothing. Josh eventually stopped coming by to see his son because of the horrible conflicts that happened in front of the child. Later, he received a document telling him that his parental rights were gonna be revoked. The mother already gave up her rights willingly. He fought as much as he could (hired a lawyer and everything). But it seems they already had their mind made up before they even sent the letter. Nothing he said had any credibility it seems. Anyway, he lost his son. Now I’m here stressing about my daughter having a half brother out there that she will never get to meet. Is there anything I can do? I don’t even know where to start. If I could do anything at all?

How can the courts just take a kid away because of a statue of abandonment without even hearing the story? He wasn’t even given a fighting chance!

The worst part is My boyfriend is heart broken. I tried making him feel better by saying his son will want to find him some day, and will. It was horrible to watch him go through this.
He tried to tell the courts that this was happening. They did nothing. If he took his son and didn’t return him it would of been kidnapping. I witnessed it once. They really scared me. We were sitting at a red light and his ex (mother of the child) and her new husband saw us sitting next to them. I didn’t know who they were but I noticed the lady was staring at my boyfriend. I pointed it out in a joking way. He looked over and gave her a glare. I asked what that was for and he pointed out who she was. They then started following us. I kept telling Josh were to turn to try to get away from them. All the while the guy was yelling out the window to stop so he could kick my boyfriends ass. That’s when I started to believe my boyfriend and his situation. And for anyone to call him a bad father is bull. He’s a great father to his daughter. Loves her with all his heart. Second, his grandparents on his mother side has custody of him now. You know, the ones who raised a drug addict daughter.
Oh yeah, and he may of made mistake by not seeing his son anymore because of a real messed up situation, but he was young and didn’t know what to do. I fully believe that. I know him. His choices were to risk the child’s mental health and his health to see his kid regularly. Go to the courts to complain about the apparent situation (since they worked out visitation), which he did and it didn’t work. He talked all the time about how he could win his son back if he could of afford a lawyer. Every time we saved a little, something would happen (like the car breaking down). His choices were limited.
