How much more likely are children in foster-care to be abused than children who are not?
Abuse statistics are hard to come by, whether from foster care or "normal" families. We suspect that the incidence is higher in natural homes, although when it occurs in foster care it gets a lot more publicity.
- In regards to the question above aIve unhappy for years, my husband is verbally abusive and controlling I wanted to leave him but he uses the children as leverage since I made the mistake of confessing the affair to him he know tells me that if I leave him I will only be a Sunday mom. He still continues his controlling ways, I can't go out alone, he keeps track of my phone bill, hacks my email, tracks my friends on my personal page online, he brings up the affair almost everyday, he blames me for all the problems in our relationship, I ask him for us to go to counseling and he tells me to find one because he is to busy to look for one.
- Cheating appears to be the easy way out for some people. You have to face the fact you are no longer in love with your husband and retain a lawyer and file for divorce and shared custody with your children. You are being unfair to your husband and your children by continuing to love another man and lying to your husband. Eventually the lie will catch up to you. Seek legal advice and do your husband a favor and set him free and also do your children a favor and not stay in a loveless marriage because eventually you will more than likely try to see your lover again. Someone will catch you and you could well lose your children if you continue on as you are, not to mention how you are hurting your husband.
How do you help my dad stop drinking without him knowing that I'm helping him stop.?
- Unfortunately, for your dad to stop drinking he has to admit he is an alcoholic and seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous and you could attend Al-anon which will help you deal with your father's alcoholism. It is extremely difficult to get an alcoholic to admit they are one and unfortunately the family suffers because of it. You are a great son or daughter to want to help your father out and try to understand that under all that drinking your father still loves you, but some people are more prone (sometimes genetic and runs in families) and it is extremely difficult for them to stop drinking. It is possible, but it is up to your dad to want to quit.
How do you tell your mother-in-law she taken over and acting like your kids mom?
Before you do this think about the family dynamics. Is your mother-in-law your full time babysitter, do you live with her, or is this an occasional problem when you visit.
Taking the above into consideration - how did the problem arise. Has she always been overbearing - did it come about over time - did she take on the role of substitute "mom" because you were not able to care for the children?
OK now that you have identified the problem and how it came to be, I would suggest saying nothing to her if this only happens occasionally (during visits) - but explain to your kids ahead of time that you are the mom and tho granny means well sometimes you and she disagree, when that happens you will be making the decisions and they will abide by them - then stick to your guns, gently but firmly.
If you live with her or she is your full-time babysitter the situation is trickier. You need to take back the job of being "mom" without damaging your relationship with her. You could try explaining to her (very gently) that you are concerned about her relationship with the kids. Grandma / grandkid is the most amazing relationship ever, and you want to protect that specialness by relieving her of the responsibility of trying to raise your kids. She should be leaving the work of bringing them up to you and their dad, supporting your decisions - while she enjoys them and loves them. Let her know how much you appreciate everything she does for you and them. Tell her you will continue to need her adviceand then don't forget to ask for it once in awhile.
You can also tell her the kids are acting confused by having to listen to two moms with different rules - that you feel it will be better for them to have one mom and a grandmother who supports mom.
You should also get your husband on board with this problem, he should have this conversation with his mom, along with you - supporting you, while helping his mother to see that the kids need her to be their grandmother.
I can only hope that she has fallen into this role accidentally - remember she has been a mom a lot longer than she has been a grandmother - some women have trouble switching gears and giving up the mom hat.
I have seen grandmothers who just take over, never really letting their kids learn to be the parent, while their daughters just go along with it and I have seen grandmothers who do everything in their power to take the role away from their daughters, putting their daughter and her decisions down rather than supporting her. I don't understand either of these 'grand-mothering styles' - I wouldn't give up the role I have - loving my grand-baby more than anything and supporting my daughter as she becomes the best mom she can be - for the world.
I hope you and your husband can make her see she is really missing out on the reward of just being a grandmother when she tries to be the mom.
How should a parent sign a joint holiday card to their adult child and their spouse?
Just as you always did for that child. Their spouse is, after all , your daughter or son-in-law, and presumably as much a part of your family as the child of your body .
What are the needs of the family?
Love and respect for each other.
A roof over their heads.
Food and clothing.
Sufficient money coming in to pay any debts.
Compassion towards each other.
Good friends and relations they can turn to.
A listening ear along with freedom of speech.
You do not have to accept the last but it is a good guide for family life and that is The Gospel.
How do you communicate using sign language us?
There are many different types/dialects of sign languages used in the US alone. American Sign Language is used in mainly the Deaf Culture, or those who can not hear at all. ASL has its own grammar structure, which makes it difficult to use it interchangeably with English. Signed Exact English is a sign-based language that is used by many people in the Hard of Hearing community because it goes side-by-side with the structure of the English Language.
Who are the people you show kindness to?

- Your mother has made it quite plain she is more comfortable around family so if you have time and your mother hasn't seen any sisters, brothers or relatives she may have because they live in another city or country and perhaps you could either phone them or if you have time email them to see if they could make it to your mother's birthday party. Contact all relatives to come to her birthday party and choose either a hall or a reception area in your town if you have 50 or more guests coming or a relative with a very large house. Decorate the area you are having the party in with balloons (her favorite colors) and streamers; if in a reception hall with tables the tablecloths will be provided, but you and siblings or family members can do up some nice centerpieces for each table. A semi flat glass dish with light colored water; some tiny stones or glass stones with a few floating flowers and a candle would be nice and make up a collage (if you have time) of pictures of your mother when she was a baby; growing up with parents; pictures of her own children; husband and friends. You can buy a three-sided Styrofoam board that is large (buy 2 of them if you have lots of pictures) at Michael's Crafts or any stationary store such as Staples or Office Depot. These Styrofoam three-sided boards are often used for business meetings as a presentation. Go through the albums and pick out the pictures you think your mother would enjoy and start scanning and printing the pictures out and pasting them on the three-sided Styrofoam boards and you could add funny little captions under them if you choose. Download music from her teen years to her favorite type of music she enjoys now. Ask relatives to help you with the food to cut-down on expenses and ask any siblings you may have to help you decorate where you are having the party. Order the cake a good week in advance. If you cannot afford to have a bar set up then be sure on the invitations you make it clear everyone brings their own alcohol, but you should buy the mixers and pop can be bought cheaply at Costco. Keep things as simple as possible and have some good taped music on hand. Don't forget the coffee and tea; milk; cream; sugar and if you can afford it provide one bottle of wine per table.
How should you speak to others?
A basic rule I try to follow, is that I try to speak to people how I would like to spoken to.
What do you do if someone won't talk to you but won't explain why?
Well why don't you ask his friends? and if they all dislike you for a reason, then they started rumors or something like that. So try to talk to your friend if he/she is really your best friend.
