I’ve been home since my 6 mos. old daughter was born and I’m going back to work part-time at the end of August. I am a teacher and will be working Thurs., Fri., and every other Wed. It’s a good schedule and I have a great babysitter - my mom. The issue is my daughter already exhibits some separation anxiety when I leave her alone with my mom now. She doesn’t have such bad anxiety that she gets upset when I walk away for a few minutes, but she does get especially upset if she’s soothed for a nap or is fed a bottle from someone other then myself or my husband. I know it will be especially hard at first, but will it get better with time? Is there something I can do to help reduce the anxiety?

My mom says we don’t have enough money for me to go to therapy right now, but I have been making enough so I think I can pay for it myself. Does anyone have an estimate from previously having gone through physical therapy? Thanks

My wife and I have bee n married 10 years and she has a son who I’ve grown to despise he lays around all day and plays video games and does drugs and eats like he’s at a buffet and does no house work and when I confront him on it he finds his Mom grabs a nipple and I always end up the bad guy. I can’t stand him and am begining to feel that way about her what should I do.

Hi and thank you. I need and want your honest opinoin. A friend of mine has been married for 13 years and she is now 32 years old, they have 4 kids and a couplke of the kids were brought into the world because he didnt want to lose his wife and basically thought that tying her down more with kids would help. Anyways they have been apart for 3 months and she is forced to live in a barn with her kids because he can not support her and makes no effort to. He lives at home with mommy. She lives at this place now and takes care of all the kids by herself and then has to work and take care of so many others things being the deal to stay there. She has a bad back and is having a hard time doing all this stuff alone. He is controlling and for example when she is on the phone she gets who you talking to get off. He goes through her phone, her email, he has a seperate bank account and has cheated on her several times. Now she is coming into a little money and he is always there all of a sudden but still doesnt do anything to support his family. He has called her names and put her down, she has no self worth and they have sex once and a while because she feels like it is her wifely duties. He lies to her and does things but still tells her he loves her and without her, he will die. She has only known him and she is scared and doesn’t know what to do but would altimatly like to save her marriage. He doesn’t work and now hes sending her pics of town homes and stuff that costs 1200 and tells her she has to work too, besides be a mom. She is in the marriage only because of the kids, not because she is inlove or happy. The kids tell her to please give dad 1 more chance, but he has lost the last 3 houses they lived at and forced them into this situation now once again. He turns everything around on her and makes her feel so bad. He controls who she is, who she talks to, what she does. Is that love? He makes her feel so not pretty and beautiful. He fights with her constantly like she doesnt have enough on her plate already. She works taking care of kids and for where she stays from noon to midnight and longer every day 7 days a week. While he works 1 part time job. I have come into her life and showed her what love really is and a friendship and I have tried now to get her self back and her confidence. The kids have gotten close to me and he tells them if they talk to me and go anywhere with me, he will spank them and be real mad. This is a six year old he tells this to, who waits for me everyday to spend time with him.He took her only transportation two weeks ago for her and her kids and said he was bringing it thru emmisions to get the new tags. well it didnt pass and said it needed a sensor, well it still didnt pass so he wanted to drop it back off for her, so she can deal with that too. What does everyone think about the situation and this guy. This is only a part of it. Be honest please. 1 last thing 2 days ago because I have been buying diapers and things the kids need, he calls her a prostitue and we havent even slept together and he tells her his kids arent for sale. Im waiting for responses please. Thanks

So my mom has been divorced from my father for about 20 years or less. We currently live in NY and he lives in GA. They got married and divorced in GA, but my mom lost her copy of the divorce in a fire. My father doesn’t want to send her a copy and she really needs it to get a NY state ID. The problem is she can’t remember the year they got divorced at all, or what city it was. Is there anyway she would be able to get a copy of it?

Thanks everyone.

I’m ready to deal with what happened to me in the past. The thing is tho that my dad doesn’t know what happened to me as a child. My mom does tho and I’m not ready to tell my dad.

How do I even bring up the subject that I want to go to therapy?

I’m a 17 yr. old college student if that matters at all.
I can’t just go to a therapist on my own…money is an issue.

I’ve bought a purity ring when I was probably twelve or thirteen years old. I am eighteen now and I will be nineteen next month. I have devoted my life to Christ and I do my best to live through him. I have been dating this boy for almost two years now. When we were first getting to know each other he told me that he wanted to wait to have sex for when he was married as well. We have both remained true to our promise of abstinence and I am very proud of that.

My mom is a Christian and wants me to wait to have sex. But she’s always making a point that I don’t do OTHER sexual things. Basically I have my boundaries set. Even though these certain things are not probably considered ‘sex’ I still don’t want to do them. I think everyone can guess what those things are.

My mom says that sex is a big thing in marriage. And I’m not saying that I disagree with her, I do. But she’s always pressuring me to do other things with my boyfriend to see if we have a sexual ‘chemistry’. It’s a bit infuriating. I do enjoy kissing him and there are times when I would like to go further but I DON’T because I want to save those things for when I’m married as well. My growth group leader at my church saved herself for marriage as well but unfortunately, she got divorced three years later. I don’t know why she got divorced because we basically haven’t spoken since her wedding and my mom thinks it’s because they didn’t test out their sexual chemistry and so their sex was bad, hence the divorce.

I guess I’m just sick of my mom telling me that I need to do sexual things before I’m married. I don’t feel like she really understands my promise. She’s always saying that she wants me to wait and yet she tells me that she wants me to experiment with my boyfriend. I have a friend who never had sex but has done ‘everything else’ and she is also a Christian. She told me that she doesn’t consider herself a virgin anymore. She said even though she’s never actually had sex she considers sex not only physical but emotional and spiritual. She says that she has given that up and wishes that she never had.

I would really like some advice on this. I want to be able to explain where I’m coming from to my mom but I don’t know how. She never saved herself for marriage and didn’t become a Christian until after my sister and I were born. Could that be why she doesn’t get FULLY WHY I want to do this? I’m sick of hearing her say that I HAVE to explore. I don’t HAVE to do anything. My boyfriend feels the same way; he doesn’t want to go passed our boundaries either. And right now I love my boyfriend, very, very much. But if we go passed these boundaries and then break up sometime in the future and I end up marrying someone else then I will feel like a piece of me will always be with him. I want to give all of myself to my future husband. Not half…

Someone please help???

Me and my boyfriend are considering getting a common law marriage for now until we are finished with school. Next year, would we have to file jointly or could my mom still claim me as a dependent? I am not sure if the same rules apply to common law marriages because they are not recognized by all states. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I’m a 30 year old male that has recently been told that my father did not pay my mother child support for me and my two sisters. Is it possible to take him to court and obtain what is owed?
Seven to ten years from the time you first claimed I’m guessing.
well i really do appreciate the help but i just decided that if my mom ever decided to do that then thats her decision but I’m not going to suggest she do so because I don’t wan’t the man’s money. Thanks again maybe this will help someone else.
