What Would You Do In This Situation?????

  Author: 54959  Category:(Debate) Created:(7/6/2002 7:08:00 PM)
This post has been Viewed (1248 times)

I guess in a way this is a debatable subject, but the reason I put it in this catagory is I would like serious advice from someone who can argue there point.(Please serious reply's only..Thanx). I am 21 years old now and have grown up pretty quick....When growing up I was not around my biological father my mother kept me away from him, for both good and selfish reasons. I say selfish because I was lied to about so many things and a whole nother culture and way of life was stripped from me. I lived with my mom and here husband growing up but spent almost every weekend with grandparents while they went out ALL weekend then when I went back home while they were hung over and drained from partying I had to be quiet and play in the dark cause the light and noise bothered them. Anyway that factoring in with the constant arguing(Screaming, and my mom breaking every piece of glass in the house, no physical abuse except once that I remember) they finally got a devorce after I personally requested it. After that I was the MAN of the house at age 13, I had the resposibility of my 2 brothers father. This meant doing the normal father chores but also I had the responsibility of corecting my brothers(which included grounding them and I even had to spank them on a regular basis.) this lead to my brothers HATE towards me. Me and my mother's relation already damaged from what she'd kept from me began to get worse. We had physical confrontations, I would not touch her but she put me in my place more than a couple of times. During this time I had been labeled the black sheep of the family and was considered a drug addict, gangmember, theaf, liar, and whatever else you could think of. Which most wasnt true yeah I drank and I did hang around gangs but I was not a theaf or a liar or addict I was trying to find the love and comfort I never got(Or is that just an excuse???)I vowed never to be like my parents were and to give my child the best. AT 17 my son was born....My cousin who was closer to me than anyone and who would have been his god father died on november 1st my son was born on november 3rd....I asked why and tried to think god gave me my son to help ease my loss of my cousin. In the past 3 and 1/2 years I have lost 5 people including my cousin one other being my grandmother who pretty much raised me. After all these deaths and me almost reaching the same fate when I was 19 from a bleeding ulser on a main artery, I have begun to question my faith(which I would never thought I would do) but I can only take so much...I have a great 3 1/2 year old son who last december was diognost with diabetes, and I have a 9 month old daughter. We just found out (me and my wife) that she is pregnant again and are expecting another. I have alway been a proud father and husband but I only wanted 2 kids in my whole life and now am faced with supporting 3 children one which needs daily medical care. My reason for writing this is usually I can handle stress real well and help others do the same but I feel it coming down on me and cant handle it much longer. My mother is going to help me and I am going to start going to a doctor. Am I using all this as an excuse to give up????? Or can I stay strong for myself my children and my wife and pull threw???? There are so many gaps is this I plan on filling them in in a later post...Debate:No Matter How Hard We Try Do We Always End Up Being Our Parents??? Advice: I Just Needed Someone To Talk To. SORRY SO LONG.Thanx Camero1198

Date: 7/6/2002 7:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 56910    Well first of all, i hope everythings turned out all right and am very sorry for the people you have lost. Maybe you should read the book Chicken soup for the teenage soul(there are a few opf them not sure which one, sorry). one of the stories tell of a young boy mike who had to raise his little brothers and sisters because his mohter was a drug addict and had many boyfriends and so on. i dunno if that will help you at all. it is just a suggestion.  
Date: 7/6/2002 7:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 53806    You are NOT your parents and never will be as long as you care to be a great father and husband.....Yeah I think you wanna give up because it's easier to give up than fight right? but don't you want to be BETTER than your parents don't you want your kids to have what you didn't? or do you want to be responsible for your kids turning out on the wrong side of the tracks so to speak. As long as there is breath in your body I want you to FIGHT....YOU DERSERVE TO BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE for YOU, YOUR KIDS AND WIFE! The stress you are feeling is short lived but looking at things from another angle like thanking GOD that you are all alive and together can help you through this remember GOD loves you and will never give you more than you can bare!  
Date: 7/6/2002 7:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    I am impressed by your openess and ability to trust others with your pain. Unfortunately, I can relate to your situation all too well. I grew up in so many cities and homes I truly cannot count them. Both of my parents are on their fourth marriage and I have 3 half sisters. I also basically raised myself due to my irresponsible parents. I remember so many of my friends feeling sorry for me. I always used to say... Why do you feel sorry for me? My parents are making all my mistakes for me, all I have to do is watch and learn from their errors. You also have done this. You have not take the path that they have. You are responsible and loving and have the ability to overcome tragic situations unlike most people. The one thing a child that is abused in some way or neglected, has over others, is knowledge. It's unfortunate to learn this way but you become wise for your age. If you hadn't gone through these things then maybe you wouldn't have gotten as far as you have now? We are given obstacles for a reason. I don't believe God caused pain or conflict in our lives but sometimes he allows them to happen. God is there for you but you must not lose your faith in him because without that you have nothing. The only insurance in life that can't be bought but one must have is God. It sounds like a cop out but it's not. Pray to God for guidance in your life and for help with all of the stressful events. You have had a difficult life and you deserve some empathy. You don't have family that has ever acted like family so you must give up on them ever doing that. Focus on your immediate family as you are, trust and pray to God and don't let these things take you out. That is what they will attempt to do. You have to remember that you have 2 wonderful children, one on the way and a good wife. Some people can't even find someone to marry. Try to focus on the positivities in your life. You are young and have many good things ahead of you if you go for them. Good luck to you and God bless,

A lot of guys would've taken the first bus outta Dodge. In the same way it's unfortunate that your family started so early. You didn't have time to go to college to get an education in order to get a decent job. Or maybe you have a good job, I dunno. But you obviously love your family so you have that goin' for you. If you've gotten this far then I'm certain that you can maintain the strength. You're just having a little reality check. No biggie. It happens every so often. I recommend you do something to curb another birth. You have three now and until you can get that situation stabilized I don't recommend having any more. Hang in there. You're doin' a good job already so go with that and you should be OK...Gallytuck.  
Date: 7/6/2002 7:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54959    Thank you all for your responses. I am amazed at the quick results and all such great feedback. Sometimes it is easier to talk to strangers than best friends, You all are great and dont know how much your couple of sentances have helped. 50435- I have not been able to go to college but do have a good job for a global wireless company, but If not for my son I would have dropped out of school. when we found out we were having a child I started to take responsibility because I needed him to grow up without worrying how his dad was gonna pay the bills, went from skipping everyday to getting straight A's and finish 1/2 a year early. Nobody had confidence in me and I proved them wrong and it made me feel GREAT!!! Anyway Thanx Camero1198
Date: 7/6/2002 7:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 16069    You were only planning on having two kids, and now your going to have another. Of course I can see why you'd be stressed out. Three kids can be a handful, but you'll get used to it. After your baby is born, I have a feeling your faith will come back. God wont give you anything that you cant handle, you have to understand that God must know what a great dad you are, and is giving you a gift. My best friend just had her 3rd baby, and she felt the exact same way as you did, guess what? Its been 3 months, and she couldnt be any happier, just a little tired. Are you turning into your parents?? Lets see, do you leave them every weekend, get wasted, and push off your responsiabilities onto any of your kids? If so, yes, your turning into your mom. In my opinion, you are trying too hard to be a good parent and worrying too much. You might not have a lot of money, but money doesnt buy you all those hugs and kisses and all that love your kids give you. Even with your daughter having diabetes, you wouldnt trade her for anything in the world. Life isnt always easy, you just need to enjoy what you have. I think you'll feel so much better after the baby is born, but I think its cool that your going to the doctor. They can give you some medicine to help with your nerves, if you feel you need them. Good Luck!  
Date: 7/6/2002 8:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 16069    Hey, I just read your last comment. Im very proud of you! (Mind giving my husband some lessons???) hehe It looks like your pretty new here? This place is great with helping when you have a problem. I've never been let down yet. I hope you like it here.  
Date: 7/6/2002 8:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 21867    Hey...firstly, Welcome to USM. And don't worry...we don't become our parents. They teach us things yes...good and bad...and from that (and many other factors) we can form who we are, who we become. Yor're your own person...you know what its like to treated like crud, so you know the effect it has on people, particularly children. Chances are you won't repeat those with your own. You'll be fine...just gotta believe and see that all that pain made you a stronger person. You aren't your parents...you are stronger than them...coz it sounds like you came through it all with a better attitude and character. Peace,  
Date: 7/6/2002 8:14:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54959    Thank you all again. I am leaving now and will hope to get back in touch tomorrow. thanx camero1198
Date: 7/6/2002 9:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 55376    i would probably dump the family and move to some foreign land. Of course I am pretty evil. Og
Date: 7/6/2002 11:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 49021    No we do not at all if we end up like our parents then we are just going the easy road i strive to not do the things my parents did to me i was abused as a child and i will not repeat the cycle..........Staindglass  
Date: 7/7/2002 2:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 13297    I think you will find the strength you need in your wife and your children. Sometimes it is easy to get stressed out and to second guess yourself. You are doing the right thing... Once the baby is born you will be excited and you will be so wrapped up in that miracle that you'll forget about being stressed out. Best of luck to you - from what you say it seems you have it together and that you're on the right track. cheers,
