8 months ago I left my husband of almost nine years. It was a verbally and controlling marriage that became physically violent. I had left and then when I tried to set down and talk to him about the divorce he attacked me and physically harmed me. I managed to get him to stop but the next day I left and went to my parents home with our two children. I also went to the police and they arrested him the next day on two felony d counts and a misdemeanor of domestic battery and assault. A few months later he plead guilty to the assault and they dropped the other charges. All he got was a year of probation. He still has my children every other weekend , only when he wants to actually see them. He still gets to travel every week out of the country and state which he says is for business. He went to the Virgin Islands for Christmas and the Super bowel. He still tries to manipulate me on the phone by saying that I am a money hungry *itch. He blames me for all the attorney fees. He keeps trying to get me to settle on things regarding the divorce without my attorney being involved because he says I am taking away money from our children with the fees. But it does not stop him from vacationing. I am living in a two bedroom apartment and he is living in our 42 hundred sq. ft. home. My son has special needs and needs full time care. I can not go get a full time job yet until I find someone who can take care of him. My ex said he will not pay for this and I should have thought about that. He new thing now is that he is moving across the country and will never see the children again. Our daughter is 3 and my son is 7 years old. He is trying to make my life hell. He says once the divorce is final that he will have very minimal contact with us. How do I explain this to my daughter. I don’t want to have her feel this rejection from her father. He has a narcissistic personality and says that because he has to talk to me he can’t deal with the kids. This is the person who tried to harm me in front of her. My son has autism and will still be hurt but does not understand things like my daughter. What can I do to protect her feelings? I love my children and don’t know how my ex could live with out them. Please help! I never speak badly about my ex around my children. But I won’t make excuses for him either and enable this behavior.

Hi there. My nose is so congested and it's annoying. It's so clogged up and I can't even INHALE. I've taken Benedryle (sp?) for allergies and colds, and it doesn't work- I took it this morning and went to sleep hoping that it would cure me, but it didn't!!!

Does anyone know how I can get rid of this? I'm missing school and I'm missing the State testing!

I was mad and I told her not to come back to my house. 3 years ago when I met my hubby she accused me of stealing money off my hubbys sister and his sister found it and she apligized. My hubby has 1 son and 2 stepdaughters from a previous marriage and when we talked about having a baby she said it would be best if my husband dosent have any more kids. she said she dosent want to be a grandma again. I have a 2 month old. She apoligized for saying the money issues. She said the kids were lying. There 15, 12 & 8 and they all made up the same story.

Ok, I bought 2 rose bushes the other day. They are hybrid tea roses. I haven't planted them yet. I was wondering does the soil need anything special for them to grow. I bought some Miracle Grow Garden soil to mix in with the soil that is already outside. How much mulch should I put around them? I read that you should put 3 inches of mulch on top of them. I asked the lady at the green house about them and she told me to just plant them in any soil and to fertilize them every two week and they should be fine. I bought the Miracle Grow for Roses. Also I live in Wisconsin, so I was wondering what do I need to do before winter to protect them? Since the temp. sometimes drop to 20 below or colder at times at night. I have never tried to grow roses before but decided to this year since I like them so much. Any help would be appreciated.

I heard about chronic pelvic pain and severe cramping. But is that it? What are all the pains that come with Endometriosis, and is back pain always associated with this particular disease?

my daugher, who is 24, to go to a comedy concert. The tickets were $50 a peice and we reserved a very nice room for the night to be split 4 ways. My daughter bailed at 5:00 the night before. So my sister brought another friend of hers that couldn't afford anything but a few drinks and her own dinner. My sister paid for her ticket plus this other girl's and since I am the only one with credit card, I had to pay for this other girls 1/4 of the room. I have talked to the other girl and she makes decortive outside things and I would take those in trade and she said fine since it is hard for her to get money. My sister says I'm being unreasonable and shouldn't ask her for anything since the trip was sprung on her and my daughter bailed. I said my daughter is 24 and not a child and if you want money, you get it. She doesn't live here and has a good job. And/or should have asked someone that could have afforded to go. What is your opionion? Thanks Everyone!

My dad has gotten £42k worth of debts, probably in the past 20 years or so I would believe. He is an addicted gambler, which explains the debt.

Now he is refusing to pay the mortgage for the house, which is about £250 a month, we only have £7k left to pay off. As well as that he is refusing to pay the council taxes and utilitie bills, also he doesn't give the family (me and my mum) any living cost. My dad earns about £1k a month, but he says he cant afford to feed us. Luckily my mum has a part time job earning £200. But we cant live of that forever.
My mum wants a divorce because there is no point staying with these worthless people who put family last. However, my dad will not leave unless he gets half of the house money which can help repay his debts. Now he is forcing my mum to sell the house, or give him about £60k to leave.

Is there any other ways to get rid of my dad and not losing my house. Iam 16 in college, and Im about to go into Uni this sept, I dont want to move.
