Maybe they are not upset that you got married maybe they are upset at possibly your age that you got married at or maybe they got upset at it his race. There are a lot of different facots or maybe they thing he is preventing you from doing something in your life that you should be doing. Some more detail might help us give you some more advice. Help shed the light. But your best bet is to really sit down with you parents alone and really ask them what the problem is and what it really bothers them and ask them to give your husband a chance. And also make sure you husband show them who he really is and why he realy deserves you as a wife.

There are only two things that you can do...wish them well and walk away. She is not worth your cousin. Family is forever and she is anything but..........

kill her with kindness... when you act upset and she causes turmoil in your family, she is getting what she wants.  As hard as it sounds. ignore her!!

i would tell an adult atleast. tell your teachures. they can do everything that is needed. they are trained to deal with family desturbances. i hope you are all right. noone should have to deal with problems like that.

Tell you husband you need more help when you are at his parents house.  Have him listen up and the next time your MIL directs concern to you he can jump in and handle it.  The other option would be for you to ask your husband to handle it in front of your MIL so she can get the message you are equally responsible for the kids.

Keep talking to your brother,he seems to be the only person in your family acting like a grown-up!You are entitled to your beliefs and he is your brother,losing him would be like losing an arm,so keepthe lines of communication open and hopefully your parents and sister will come round,good luck,stay strong.

all you can do is reassure your mum that this is what your sis wants, she is looking for a new life elsewhere, tell her that the perks are....a free holiday, when my son joined the forces i cried my leg off for weeks, i missed him so much, and still do but he;s making a man out of himself serving for his country and he loves every minute of it, since he was 9 he always wanted to join up, and he studied hard to get where he is todayeven though he is only 19, just be there for your mum, i know how hard it is to let one of my kids go, but your sis knows what she wants and you and your mum should be happy for her, once your sis has gone your mum will be fine, theres lots of ways to contact her now, technology gives us the ability to do so....give her a hug from me too, i know how hard it is to let the kids fly the nest, bless her and you, and your sister,

hey there I totally understand where you stand because I was there myself at one point and time. But first you have to evaluate everyone in your family to figure out how much they care for you as their child/sibling. your best shot would be to tell the family member(s) that you are closest to and most comfortable around in order to see how they accept it. you would be better off starting out slowly; however this approach may not exactly work for everyone. so all I can really say is start slowly, telling a few people at a time, and then find an approach that works for you. maybe have a friend (NOT a f*ck-friend) that knows (and is cool with it) present when you disclose. worst comes to worst, have someone else tell them when you are not present. I had a great deal of difficulty coming out to them myself, but all I can really suggest that you find a way that works...for you. I do not know your family, but if they really love you, they will accept you for who you really are.

Be there for her. Listen to her when she complains, help her understand that its not her fault. Try not to make judgements on the family. Support her.

I was kinda in the same situation your half sister is in.I was seeing and moved in with a man everybody was warning me about.The more they said to me about him , the more I tried to make it work.It didn't take long for me to find out they were right and I left him one day while he was at work.I packed everything I could get int my car and left.If this man you are talking about is really a bad person, your half sister will see it. Just back off and let things happen.Nobody wants to hear "I told you so" That might be what's pushing her into the relationship.If things get out of hand with the kids and you KNOW he is hurting them in any way, maybe you should turn him in and let the law handle it.If he can't see his own 2 kids there is definitely something wrong there. Good luck!!

Well, the best advice i can give you is to talk to him about it.  You need to explain to him that that's not the way to talk to your family and he needs to explain his differences with your family differently and more respectfully.  Include that you will not put up with his crap and that he needs to get his act together or you don't need to associate with him any more.

This may not be much comfort, but most people have screwed up families.   However there are only a few like you and I that will admit it.    My family is the same, sometimes it gets so bad I have to stay away from some of them for months on end.    I have learned that they may be my family, but sometimes you have to put some distance between you and  them for survival..

Get to a doctor and seek counseling.  Her past is in the past let it go.\n\nShe is your family now.  Her family of origin is a temporary inconvenience.\n\nYou need to work together to help each other.

you are so sweet!  most kids don't see things the way you seem to.  now, i don't have any of my own, but since i am someone's (now adult) child, i think i can give you a few suggestions.  first of all, while it may not be your responsibility to take care of your mother (or anyone else in your family), it is nice that you want to help out.  nothing wrong with that.  now, maybe you can start helping with laundry or other chores.  if you already do help at home, then maybe you can talk to some of your other relatives to see if  they are willing to talk with your mom and get her some help.  or at least give your mom a break by hanging out with you kids (or just you, if you're an only child) while she spends some time alone.  if you want to get her a gift, i'm sure she'll love anything from you.  maybe something for the bath, or some relaxing music?  good luck, and i hope you and your family realize what a good daughter you are:)

Talk with a councilor, priest, someone who can help you as the situation continues.   A family therapist can help both of you. Give it a try and if all else fails, remember that you are a good person and make your life the best it can be. Once you get to an age of responsibility- you can get out.
