Should these kids be put in therapy?

My nieces and nephew had experienced separations of their parents at an early age, at the time, the youngest at one month, the middle at four, and the eldest at six years old. Their parent’s separations happened two years ago, but since then from today, my mom and I are thinking their actions are signs and symptoms of the divorce. Such as peeing in the bed, constant and frequent nightmares, crying in the middle of the night, delayed EVERYTHING(everything such as walking, talking, potty-training) for the youngest one.

Although this may be regular for children growing up, since each and every child is different. But, we do have our concerns. Do you think we should put the kids in therapy? and if so, is there any you recommend in southern California?
– I am trying to help raise these kids, if that answers your kids. So, I think it is my business. They do live with me, as well with their mother… but their mother is in a "I honestly don’t care of my children" person. and being as I’m only 16, it’s hard trying to raise these kids with my parents who work literally most of their day away.

If a lawyer who knows family law is reading this, please help?

Can my wife stop me taking my children to my parents house, if that house is a farm and if one of the occupants has been convicted of manslaughter? The farm equipment is in lockable barns and I would not let them wander unaccompanied anyway and this person was released and has proven records that he is not a danger to anyone. She will also not allow me to take them anywhere in my car, because I smoke, but I have told her I will not smoke in the car and will clean it before I take them any where. She is setting restrictions to my seeing the children (3 boys aged 1,3 & 5). She has said that she wont stop me ever seeing them, but only on her terms. What can I do? I live in The UK, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Single moms in southern CA, how on EARTH do you make ends meet?

I have 3 very small children. I have a lot on my plate besides being a mom, a single mom at that. I live with my mom and step-dad while I have been going through a divorce and custody battle. My mom has been letting me stay here but my divorce just isn’t ending and now my lawyer has dropped me because I can’t afford to pay her. I get very little support from thier dad and I have no degree. I have to move because the amount of stress it is causing everyone for me to stay with my mom is unbarable for everyone including my kids. My step-dad does not want us there. The problem it is very hard to hold a job with three kids and with the amount of money I make, 99% of it goes to daycare. I cant get assistance because I receive some support though not nearly enough. How do women do it on their own with no help (my parents are moving out of state) in southern California (I do have to stay in Southern

Dad won’t listen to me?

I am currently at a boarding school in Southern California, and I have recently realized that I absolutely HATE it here.

I do realize that the place im in is very heavenly, the weather is nice and I have the best teachers in the world. But I don’t think that I can get through high school without the developmental advice of a parent. My parents are divorced, my mom living in San Jose and my father living in Korea. I really want to live with my Dad in Korea and attend an international school, but he refused to take me in!

Furthermore, he decided that he wouldn’t allow me to leave school at all.

What should I tell my dad to make him listen for ONCE?

I’m 14 and I want to move..Like to a different city. Is this a stupid idea and should I forget about it????

so i’m 14 and a freshman in high school. for about like 3 years i’ve wanted to move to southern california. i live in northern california right now in a nice city but i’m getting sick of it and i hate the weather here because it’s always foggy.

but the thing is i’ve never even been to southern california. i think it’s because like everyone i know wants to go to southern california in college and because of shows like laguna beach and the hills.

the reason i want to is because i want to start all over and i don’t really care if i’d leave my friends..so i’d like to move ANYWHERE but southern california sounds so nice. i just want to live somewhere warm. and i like california.

and i know, it’s not my decision but my parents’. but my parents might get divorced and my mom said she wants to move out with me. and i was like, "can we go somewhere far?" and i was like what about southern california. and she asked me why and i said because the weather is nicer.

i just want to start all over SOO bad and i’m so sick of this city. do you think this is a really stupid idea? what do you think of this? i want to go to college somewhere in southern california anyway.

I’m about to move from Calif. to Washington State. At what point am I required to re-register my car?

I’m about to move from Southern California to southern Washington State. My car is an older car that wouldn’t be worth much (a 1988 Toyota Corolla), but it’s in good repair. It’s registered jointly to my parents. My parents are currently in the midst of a divorce. My dad is trying to officially get sole ownership of the car, and has said he will be officially transferring the title into my name once he has. My mother has been making a point of trying to stalemate him on more or less everything he’s trying for in the divorce, though, because she’s very angry with him and wants to waste as much of his money as possible. As such, she’s likely to be uncooperative when it comes to helping re-register the car in Washington. I’m using the car with my parents’ full consent. At what point could it become a legal problem if I’m using it in Washington but it hasn’t been registered in Washington yet?
… My mother is actually somewhat on the bipolar side and has on numerous occasions very emotively expressed the belief that I am my father’s "best friend" and that she believes the two of us are constantly scheming against her. It is unlikely that I could get her to transfer the car straight to me. In fact, she’s essentially stolen it from me on numerous occasions in the past specifically to prevent me from moving. I pretty much need to move now, though. I can no longer afford Southern California.

It’s going to be a while before I have a job with a company in Washington. I’m an independent contractor and have already been doing my job almost exclusively through telecommuting. The main guy I’ve been getting work from has already confirmed that he doesn’t see any reason why my moving should change our working relationship.

Who would you most like to track down from your past?
