I wish my mom would let me get some gliders!
I see alot of people on here all talking about their cute lil furr butts and stuff! i want to be a mommy again!!! I hate how my mom made me give them up!! she didnt even give them a chance! i mean sugar and spice went to a fantastic great caring home! but i miss them so much...it has been 7 1/2 months scence the last time i have seen them! they live in seattle now with their forever home!
 i have asked my mom so much if i could get 2 suggies and she just says flat out NO! but it is also i would be scared because my moms boyfriend of 12 years is a big time drunk! he use too be very abusive mainly towards me and my mom....now it isnt that bad but i still do get abused every once awhile...i live with my 2 younger brothers and my younger and older sister...my mom and "guy" (guy is my moms bf) and we all just really dislike all holidays, because he ruins them all of them! if it is not about him he will make people feel like s*** so that will make him feel better....but the whole reason i am talking about guy being abusive is because i wouldnt want guy to end up hurting my suggies if my mom finally let me get some...me and my dad have been secretly talking about letting me go back and live with him in the summer but the problem their is his wife connie...i am not even going to start with her! but yeah... i am so sorry you guys! (for talking all about me and not alot about suggies) but this does make me feel a little better.... i want to thank every one here on glider gossip!! for helping me when i needed help and being so so SOO nice to me!!! i feel welcome here!!! i feel like i belong here...because if i talk to my friends about sugar gliders or my family either they dont want to talk about them or they are like WHAT???!?!?!? what are sugar gliders? but here i can talk about that stuff and you guys are just awsome and talk to me back on it!!! thank you guys!!! i love all yalll!!!!

Cricket08 Glider   USA 122 Posts bree_bree Super Glider    USA 237 Posts Thanks you guys!!! thank you so so much!! you are helping me feel so much better! and yes i understand that having suggies is not a good time at all!!! i dont want to ever put any sugar glider nor any animal in this house hold i am in! I am 15 years old well if i did ever get suggies like soon i would be able to pay for everything my self. i have a job "i work at my fathers work" i am the "janitor" (sorry for spelling) i get paid $10 an hour and get $150-$200 every two weeks. and last year my mom had every single detail planned out too leave him! a duplex a job day care for my baby brother and a really great man that works at the same place guy works at...his name is Rob and he still likes my mom...but anyway all she had to do is tell him it was over... but they day we were supose to leave...Guy started crying and saying he would stop fighting, stop drinking all together...then my mom sat me and my older sister down and told us "Girls i saw the real guy today, the Guy i fell inlove with" me and my sister started to cry and get angry...she told me and my sister that he would stop drinking and fighting with us...i then said "MOM!!! i could say i would stop drinking water forever, but you know i wont ever stop drinking water" most drunks cant stop drinking like that! i know, my dad is in recovery "AA" its been 6 or 7 years now that he has been in recovery!! but to this day my mom is still with guy...i mean i under stand that he supports us. and i tell my mom all the tim"mom you can get a job, right now you are picking guy over us 5 kids! mom guy has emotionaly abused us all and has physically abuse me you and brittany (brittany is my older sister) and she just tells me to shut up and go away) i dont know what she sees in guy at all! and i totally agree with what Cricket08 said " what dont kill us makes us stronger" i live by that, and i have gotten stronger. when i hopefully move back in with my dad and i can get suggies i am going to treat them like my kids!!! i want them to get the life i didnt get!! (i know that doesnt really go well, cuz i am a person and they are animals but still) i will treat them so good!!! thanks to all who replied on here to help me!! all you guys here on glider gossip are like my family that i never had!! and now i do "happy tears" thanks you guys!! i love you all!! Bree ericarehaume Glider  58 Posts " what dont kill us makes us stronger" Bree Do you ever watch the cold case files? Not to scare the hell out of you but some people get so drunk they dont know what they are doing and end up hitting their loved ones or pushing them sooo hard they end up killing them. When I started dating Joey I was 19 and he was 27. I had heard people say that he could be an ass but I ignored them. He told me that he wasnt like that, that people were just jealous we were together. and the day I broke up with him he told me that he would change that he would never hurt me or my daughter again. But you know what when you love your kids no one is worth taking that risk for! NO ONE! I feel so bad for you and it makes me sad to think you are living in that kind of situation. I dont mean to bash your mom but that is really messed up that she has put you in that situation. :( I hope things get better for you! I really really do! (Lol wow this topic went way off course but its all good!) bree_bree Super Glider    USA 237 Posts thanks ericarehaume!! and i dont think it is really off topic!!! i was talking about my problems and you are so able to too!!! and dont worrie about me getting mad or whatever about my mom! my dad told me once that a person who isnt a drunk but lives one can be as worse if not worse than the drunk and with my mom that is so true!! she use to be the mom i looked up too! when i was way young she did ALOT of drugs but then she quit because guy told her too but whats funny is my mom tells guy all the time to stopp drinkn and does he? NO!! but yeah i use to look up too my mom...then about 9 or 10 months ago she started taking diet pills and she wasnt even that big at all!! i mean i am a big girl. and she was never bigger than me btw...but now she is like a toothpick!! she takes so many diet pills it is not funny! even the dangerous ones! my older sister brittany has heart issues (when she was born she had to have open heart surgery) and brittany has never ever been big! she is a cheer leader and everything but she stole some of my moms diet pills and with her heart problem they are way more dangerous then a person without a problem taking them...when my mom found out she yelled at brittany. and i said well mom i know what brittany did is bad but i mean you are a size 0 in everything and brittany is a size like 5 and she is a teen and you are like 38? and i kept saying mom quit taking them! it puts on so much stress on me cuz i worrie about her so much! then with my youngest brother ashton he is 4 almost 5, i am basically his 2nd mother...scence i go to contract "long story why" my mom said i have to watch ashton sometimes...but she literally makes me watch him alll day every day and with contract i am still supose to work like 5 hours a day...but it is so hard to do when i have a crazy wild 4 year old on my hands!! and i ask my mom daily "mom can you take ashton with you" and she is like NO!!! DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO REG. SCHOOL...i mean i get awsome great grades now i use too get d's and f's now i get a's b's and barly c's...and everytime i ask to take him guy also yells at me and just starts huge fights!!! but yeah it is such a huge mess!!! i cant wait till my dad sits his wife "connie" down and asks her if i can move back in "even know its not really up too her btw..." then i can probably get suggies!!!!!!! Bree dizzysmom Goofy Gorillatoes       IN, USA 3882 Posts My dear Bree Bree - It's so sad to see you having such a tough time. I've been so impressed by your selflessness in wanting to help folks find suggies when you yourself can't have them. That shows just what a good heart you have. No one should have to endure the type of abuse you're living with right now. We all have rough patches in our lives that are devastating. What they're saying is true: "If it doesn't kill you, it'll make you stronger." Keep telling yourself this. Eventually, it will be just an unpleasant part of your history - a phase that you will overcome. Sometimes I know it seems that situations are unendurable. But these things do pass. When I found out that I had multiple sclerosis it was because I went blind in one eye, and partially lost control of my right hand and arm. My whole right side was numb, and for awhile, I was unable to walk. My wildlife art career that I had worked 15 years to build came to a screeching halt. I didn't know if I would ever paint again; or if my other eye would go as well. I lost my career and my friends and my identity. I'd always been "the artist". But things did turn around. Now, I have a job that I love, new friends, and I'm living in a forest paradise. We all have to learn to cope with whatever life imposes on us. To quote another platitude, "If life hands us lemons, make lemonade." Hang in there - IT WILL GET BETTER!
bree_bree Super Glider    USA 237 Posts  thanks!!! "HUGSSSS" lol yeah dizzysmom is so awsome!! i love art like her and i am so happy she pulled through!!! thanks ya guys for making me feel better...i dont think my actual family could help me and make me feel as good as you guys here at glider gossip do!! thanks!!! Bree suggieluv Super Glider    SC, USA 361 Posts i know i have already posted but i know where you are coming from with the drinking issues. my dad has always had a drinking problem from as far back as i can remember (5 yrs. old). he was very abusive to my mom, there were times when i thought he would kill her if he didn't stop. he was a happy drunk when it was just beer, give him liquor and he was as mean as a rattle snake. he had shot holes in the ceiling,tv and even threatened people with his rifle. my mom is a recovered alchoholic, she hasn't drank in years. my dad,still an alchoholic. i have the genes as does my sister. i don't mind having a couple of drinks(during the summer) but i know my limit.i usually get sick after 3-4. you want to know what is bad, i was between 5-6 yrs. old when i got drunk the first time. mom said i snuck into the beer, thats not what i remember. anyway, my point is that it has made me a smarter person when it comes to things like that, and i hope a better parent. when my kids start to go through all the peer pressure to drink or anything else i hope from my experiences growing up that i can stop them before they start. i am sure it has and will make you a better person, i hope the same for your siblings. my dad cared and loved my sister and myself just not always in the best of ways. everyone on here has told you the truth and its great that people care so much. this world would be a better place if there were more people like that out there. i know one day you will get your suggies and you will be a very devoted suggie and human parent. we also learn from mistakes other people make and not just ourselves. i learned both ways, although i still make mistakes myself. just remember there are people who love and care for you and you can get through anything knowing that. Roz Face Hugger     USA 902 Posts Bree Bree After reading all your posts and all your friends here's posts my main thought is concern for your safty and your 4 siblings. No one should be abused...emotional or physical.... I assume your Dad knows what is going on and other family members too? Your Mom I would be willing to bet is staying with this man not so much out of love but out of fear of being on her own with 5 children to support. I also assume that your dad is not the father of all of the children....If Guy is the father of some and your mom leaves him she can get child support even though they are not married if his name is on any of the birth certificate. Most states also have help available to single mom's. If you move in with your dad their will still be 4 children left in a horrible situation. From your comment about your dad's wife..it sounds like there would be problems living under her roof....but not as serious as the ones your face now. It is against the LAW for Guy to abuse Mom or the kids...either he needs to go or all the kids need to be moved. Is your grandparents able to help or any aunts? Your Mom overcame her drug addiction and your dad his alcohol addition (he will always have to be "on the wagon") alcoholism is an illness. Is there a school consulor or a clergyman that you and your older sister could speak with. I also watch alot of A&E...true crime and know that abuse can lead to injury or death...many times the person does not mean to "commit" these crimes but can not help themselves while drunk. If your dad can not help you and the other children then you and your sister need to have another talk with MOM...away from the house, Guy and the other kids...let her know how you and sis feel. Your dad needs to help you with this problem..does he have a civil relationship with your mom? Someone needs to report what is going on to the authorities......even anonymously if nessasary. I wish you the best of luck...what you are living with can effect your and your brothers and sisters whole lives.     bree_bree Super Glider    USA 237 Posts the only people he physically hurt are me my mom and brittany... and it isnt that much at all any more....but mothers day was the last time i got abussed...i just got grabbed by my wrists and pushed out of the way by him... and yes my dad does know about how often my mom and guy and somtimes brittany and I fight....and Connie "my dads wife" will never hurt me! i would never let that happen!!! it is just she is crazy!!! "very very long story about connie!!" but it is no where near as bad as it is here at my moms house and guy is the father of just my two brothers "gavin who is 9 and ashton who is 4" bree_bree Super Glider    USA 237 Posts His parents dont really help us out. and me and britt are some what close and we were really close to our mom but now she never talks to us...if she does its about her self and how "FAT" she is....when she is really stick thin. and guys family doesnt know that he has ever hurt us... I think they know that my mom and him get into alot of bad fights mostly about nothing. I think it is both, she "says" she loves him but i dont know and i know its also because she doesnt want to be alone. I try to tell her how much better for all of us it would be without guy. and i told her i would help out as much as possible! but she just ignores me...and to tell you somthing about my mom...she LOVES drama she lives on drama...somtimes i think when guy is here and i say somthing that she doesnt like and she screams at me and i think she wants guy to here it and he will come down and start a fight... and my mom doesnt go to church i dont know why...i have gone with a friend before and it was fine. but it is like my mom doesnt want us going to church and again i dont know why thank you Roz!! thanks for helping me! bree_bree Super Glider    USA 237 Posts Thanks Tinkertoy! i wish i could come there too!!! i guess just being around gliders makes me like me! i dont no what it is but man! i just shine and i never really smile because i am never really happy but when i am on here and talking about gliders and seeing gliders i am stuck with a smile!! thanks everyone you guys mean so so SO much to me!! Bree Tate and Jodi Super Glider    IA, USA 393 Posts Bree...do you see drunks, and fighting and adults grabbing kids roughly at school? NO you don't dear...b/c it is wrong! You need to get someone involved. Tell your counselor or the teacher that you trust your fears, your worries, and your thoughts on you all getting split up. They are what you call 'mandatory reporters', they have to take care of you and report anything that is harmful to you mentally or physically. You cant control your mom and what she is going to say or do. What they will do is send social workers in to talk to you and your siblings. Away from your mom and guy. They will not tell your parent who reported it or what each of you said...they can't. They can however tell them what you want them to hear. how your afraid of abandonment and getting split up. When you talk to the social worker or your teacher, again tell them everything, they have to know it to know how to help you and your siblings. Honey, if he has changed some like you said, than there maybe some classes or counseling for him to do through the state that will allow you all to stay at home. You won't know till you try. Again, its going to be scary and not easy, but you need to get someone outside of what is going on involved. And some of the parties involved may 'hate' you for awhile, but after it is all said in the done, the RIGHT thing will happen. You will be safe, will be able to continue your education without fear of being grabbed or mistreated! that is what you deserve, go after it! I'll be rooting for you Monday morning!
