Should Obama speak of his ‘family values” from his own ‘experience”?

  • Posted on March 16, 2011 at 7:23 am

Obama’s mama was only 17 when Obama was conceived, and was NOT married, then married a polygamist (for those who don’t know what it means look it up) , who only stayed around for 2 years,an alcoholic then cut and ran and died while driving drunk. So when you try to bash Gov Palins daughter, better look back in history, Obama’s own mother did the exact same thing, so Obama’s “typically white” grandmother must have failed then. His parents’ marriage took place six months before his birth on February 2nd, 1961. Nine months before Obama’s birth would be early November 1960, about three to four weeks before Ann Dunham’s 18th birthday on November 29, 1960.

Could the moral difference in character possibly be more clear?

Sarah & Todd Palin: “We’re proud of (our 17 year-old daughter) Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”

Barack Obama: “If my daughter makes a mistake, I don’t want her punished with a baby.”

How can I apologize to my parents when they won’t speak to me?

  • Posted on November 8, 2010 at 9:21 pm

Hi, I am a grown woman who has hurt and angered my mother and adoptive father. Six years ago I was diagnosed with depression, ulcers, traumatic stress syndrome and had quite a bit of dental work done in one month’s time. I was placed on Xanax, Oxycontin, and some type of pain killer that contained Codiene. I only took the medidcations for about a month before I quite literally lost my mind. I said and did things that angered, hurt, and shocked my parents. Immediately after that the doctor placed me on Ambien and Celexa. I stayed kind of strange for at least a year while I was on that stuff. Now, years later my closest brother says my personality is nice again and I have returned to my normal sself. Only thing different is that I have terrible memory loss from the time I was on all the medications until recently. Everything is sketchy. I want to make it clear that I did NOT take the prescriptions as recreational drugs or anything. I have never taken drugs, before or since. Evidently my system just can’t handle medication well. Anyway, things, bad things, that I said got back to my parents and now they will have nothing to do with me. It has been five years. For the first several years I was frantic trying to figure out why they hated me so much over what I thought was a small fight and they were angry because I divorced my husband during that timeframe also. Only lately have I found out the full extent of what I supposedly did and said. I have no memory whatsoever of saying those things. But people I trust, my other family members and my closest brother, all tell me that they heard me say them. I love my parents dearly and have always been a good daughter and was close to my mom. My dad hasn’t really liked me for years because he is my adoptive father. He favors his own biological children over me and always made no bones about that fact. But I really miss my mom. I am in my 50s and she is in her 70s. Who knows how much time either of us has left, you know? How do I go about apologizing to her when she refuses to see me or talk to me? She has control over the rest of the family and she makes sure I do not get invited to family functions. Everyone loves her and doesn’t want to upset her further. She just hates me. The mere mention of my name makes her mad all over again. I have a 16 year-old son who mom loves and still has contact with, but only when my son is with my ex, his dad. To add insult to injury, my parents keep in close contact with my ex and his whole family. He is invited to their house for holidays and dinners even when he does not have my son. What should I do? I want my life and my family back. I miss them and love them. I appreciate any advice, thank you.

My 29 year old daughter who has been married for 10 years won’t speak to me because?

  • Posted on August 11, 2010 at 1:33 am

her husband was coming on to me one night when we were very intoxicated; so I reciprocated, however it stopped before anything really happened. He came over to my house, he asked if he could and he brought alcohol, none of this was my idea.She was out of town during this time and he has since told her what happened. She won’t even let me speak my side of the story. Of course, she wants to blame it all on me so she doesn’t have to deal with his quilt in this. Nothing had ever happened before between us, EVER. Now my 2 other children believe whatever it is that she’s saying also and they are angry with me too.

The funny thing is that my close friends who I’ve told about it say I’m not at fault. I really am responsible for some of it, but please tell me if there’s anything I can do to get her to listen or talk to me?
Okay, I totally took responsibility for what happened the day after. I called him and begged him to forgive me and I told him how sorry I was and I begged him not to tell her because I knew what would happen. I’ve done things in the past when I was drunk that I shouldn’t have done. Alcohol does that to me, I lose all my inhibitions. I am in counseling and the counselor said exactly what “SweetBrunette” said and another friend of mine too, he manipulated me. I don’t know why he wanted to come to my house with alcohol, except that he was lonely. I “know” what I did was wrong, absolutely!!, and I’m not proud of it. I was sick to my stomach for days, but I need to know how to get through to my daughter. I’ve left phone messages begging and crying for her to please forgive me and I’ve sent emails. I did not have sex with him. And that evening I told him I didn’t want anymore to drink, after like 5 or 6, and he said “What?”….so I feel like he got me drunk.
