My Daughter (9)has 2 friends with whom she is very close to. They are very much like Sisters. One of the girls is a habitual liar. The girls are all aware of the character flaw, however, this same "friend" continually trys to embarass my daughter with lies and by pointing out "mistakes" Both she and I are not too sure how to deal with this? any advise?

My son has been verbally abused by his stepfather for 15 years. We are now going to get a divorce. I have a 7 year old daughter with him. Do you have any information about step parents who verbally abuse step children? Do you also have information regarding how to help my daughter cope with this divorce?

Hi I am a single mother of 2 boys (11/7)they are really good kids.I had my sons write a letter to santa and I told them that I will mail it for them.My 11yr I think he knows that Iam santa but we don't say anything.Now in the letter he was say how he hates his dad he really hates him.I think he feels bad about it.and the pictures in he's room of his dad are all blacked out. My family is really big and we live in walking distance of each other.I was going to write him a letter and say its from santa and try to help him figure out his feels and have him open up to me about his dad so I can get some kind of understanding.His dad is a good dad but not reliable.He was abusive to me ever hit the kids and did drugs and drank. He is now cleaning himself up and wants in their lives but my 11y will not talk to him or read the letters his dad write to him.I told his dad he needs to go at our sons pace he will open up to him but with this letter to santa I don't know what to do for my son.

I am a single father . My son is 6 years old. Recently my child's mother and I had a falling out. She has gone to stay with her mother and rarely calls our son. From what I hear from his teachers there has been a small change in his behavior patterns. He is doing things out of character. How do I best explain a compicated situation to a 6 year old in order to keep his spirits up at a time I know is difficult for him?

My daughter will be 16 in 4 weeks. She was caught shoplifting with a friend (who ditched my daughter and was not caught) and was 'cited'. Her father and I divorced when she was 2 and she lives with me and her step-dad 85% of the time. Because my daughter was going on a week long vacation out of state with her Dad and step mom she convinced me to allow her to delay telling her Dad about the shoplifting incident. She has been back for 4 days and today went into melt down mode when I asked her about when she was planning to tell him. She informed me that she would rather die and would kill herself if I told her Dad. She said he would not understand and that she was not going to do it. I do not believe she means it when she says she's going to kill herself, she's said this type of thing before and she is currently seeing a therapist on a monthly basis. She also decided to take out her anger on me and said I was mean to make her do this and proceeded to verbally assault me in every way you can imagine (she called me names, said that I deserved having my wallet stolen from my purse earlier that day (karma), she mocked me, laughed at me, screamed at me (profanity/expletives), refused to clean up after herself, feed dogs, normal chores etc). What should I do? Tell her Dad anyways? Let it go? Set a deadline for her to do it and if she does not then tell her Dad? In shock and do not know what to do.
