Probably all of us experienced at least one family problem in our lives. Fighting relatives, kids running away from home, traumatic divorces, etc. I'd like to know which problem was the most important (or even traumatic) to you. To be honest, the biggest problems in my family happened before I was born. My grandmother and grandfather (from my mother's side) were very violent and strict with their kids, which caused my aunt to mistreat my grandmother until now. They live together, but not in peace, apparently. As for me, she is a very caring and sweet grandmother, and I'd never have guessed anything if my mother and aunt haven't told me the past stories.

I think one of the major problems we have as a family is that we are always away from each other. As it is not easy to earn a decent salary in our home country, both my parents have to go and work abroad. So me and my brother are left with our other relatives and we get to see our parents during their vacations which they spend separately. I had to move to a dormitory near my school when I went to college because commuting every day and every night is taking a toll on me. It's just very hard to understand each other when you're always far away from each other. I mean, a lot of problems can stem from not having quality family time. I'm glad it's all over now.

There have been a few traumatic problems in my life, most of them surmountable. The one that I wasn't able to change, or improve was my biggest problem and the hardest to deal with, was my eldest grandson's exit from this world, at the age of seven years and three months. That was over ten years ago, and I still have tears for him. He was a very happy, caring little guy, but unfortunately for his friends and family, he had to leave, as the cancer took hold. His classmates all wrote their feelings about him and how he had affected their lives, which I have kept in his memory, and a plaque and rest area were erected at his school in his memory. That was the hardest thing I've ever, ever had to deal with. Brightest Blessings.

i ran away from home. that night before we had a fight with my parents. to them i was always the black sheep. i try so hard though to make them proud of me in my own little way but they always find my actions misunderstood. they always say that i'm going crazy in love over my boyfriend and that is why it's affecting my studies but honestly i really hate school. i'm not very good when it comes to study habits and going to school regularly. they're parents who are very strict when it comes to education. i don't know it's so hard to explain that even now i'm still having a hard time dealing with this...

1.Grandmothers will generally be nice to some grandchildren whom they favour. Is your grandmother the same sweet person with your aunt's children? 2. Your grandmother stays with your aunt and old people do have their peculiarities. So do youngsters of course. If you really feel that your grandmother is being ill-treated then keep her with you and treat her well. What is your meaning of 'mistreat'? Is it a case of arguments that you see, or does your aunt fail to give her proper food and does she starve her? If it is a matter of starvation then please keep your grandmother with you. Otherwise, don't pass value judgement on the situation without ascertaining facts.

My mother had an affair and Dad turned to me to help him through it. I wasn't taking sides but I was teh only one there for my father and it definitely took a toll on me. It was hell seeing him go through all that pain. Luckily things are ok now but it will take a long time until things are like normal again, although they probably will never be the same again.

sorry for this situation that you find out about it.you must be very disapointed and hardly to believe and to imagine.i have many problems too.my parents don't have a good relation,my mom behaves so bad with my dad,she screams often at him,screams at me too,i fight with her very often.my grandparents want to control our lives,want us to amke only what they decided to and this can't be resolved.they want to have more and more money so would be very happy if i would got marry with a very rich man.as i took a poor one,they hate him and perhaps hate me to for this.i am financially dependent on them at this moment as i have a child also and i feel really bad with them.i must say also that i hadn't a normal childhood.i wasn't allowed to play outside with children as they weren't clever enough(or rich enough) to paly with me and as i had nothing good to learn from those children.they pushed me to learn as much,almost all day long.later in the early teenage i wasn't allowed to get out in the town with my classmates to eat a pizza or drink a juice.they didn't give me too much money although they had enough.i think they have stollen my childhood

Family problem? I have tons of it. I have a deadly disease and no one in my family knows about. I am afraid to tell them. I'll tell you some of it if you message me.

My family problem is current. My brother and I were close all our lives. He is 2 and a half years older than me. His now wife and I never really got close or anything close to that and ever since he met her he chooses her over me and I tell everyone these days I don't even have a brother. There's this guy that used to be my brother, but I'm not sure who he is anymore.
