My daughter turns 15 tomorrow. She lives in another state with her Dad. I gave him custody during the divorce.

He moved due to job reasons and left her in his mother's care. I went to stay with them for a few weeks, but could not adjust to his ways and stay longer.

I sent her some things for her birthday. I just spoke with her and she was very angry with me. I left the house when she was at school and did not tell her that I was leaving.

She said that she is managing okay. I have not called her since I got back. I have been e-mailing and checking her status on Facebook.

She is right to be angry with me. I know I deserved whatever reaction I got from her.

I can't deal with myself though. I know my actions were wrong and I don't deserve to be forgiven. I should have somehow sacrificed my comfort for my child. She is not doing well in school now either.

I have asked my ex-husband to send my child to me and he does not agree.

Diary of an Unborn Child

OCTOBER 5:
Today my life began. My parents do not know it yet, but it is I already. And I am to be a girl. I shall have blond hair and blue eyes. Just about everything is settled though, even the fact that I shall love flowers.
OCTOBER 19:
Some say that I am not a real person yet, that only my mother exists. But I am a real person, just as a small crumb of bread is yet truly bread. My mother is. And I am.
OCTOBER 23:
My mouth is just beginning to open now. Just think, in a year or so I shall be laughing and later talking. I know what my first word will be: MAMA.
OCTOBER 25:
My heart began to beat today all by itself. From now on it shall gently beat for the rest of my life without ever stopping to rest! And after many years it will tire. It will stop, and then I shall die.
NOVEMBER 2:
I am growing a bit every day. My arms and legs are beginning to take shape. But I have to wait a long time yet before those little legs will raise me
NOVEMBER 12:

Tiny fingers are beginning to form on my hands. Funny how small they are! I’ll be able to stroke my mother’s hair with them.

NOVEMBER 20:

It wasn’t until today that the doctor told mom that I am living here under her heart. Oh, how happy she must be! Are you happy, mom?

NOVEMBER 25:

My mom and dad are probably thinking about a name for me. But they don’t even know that I am a little girl. I want to be called Kathy. I am getting so big already.

DECEMBER 10:

My hair is growing. It is smooth and bright and shiny. I wonder what kind of hair mom has?

DECEMBER 13:

I am just about able to see. It is dark around me. When mom brings me into the world it will be full of sunshine and flowers. But what I want more than anything is to see my mom. How do you look, mom?

DECEMBER 24:

I wonder if mom hears the whispering of my heart? Some children come into the world a little sick. But my heart is strong and healthy. It beats so evenly: tup-tup, tup-tup. You’ll have a healthy little daughter, mom!

DECEMBER 28:

Today my mother killed me.

I asked whether Yahoo Answers had become a new obgyn clinic. And wow, apparently I'm an insensitive typical male retard. Or maybe the insulters are just highstrung oversensitive typical women. Maybe I'm the oversensitive one for wasting five points and the time it took to write this. I really didn't mean it was a mean spirited question, so whats with the backlash?

My friends bridal shower is tommorow and Im the host. I changed my idea on the main dish to croissant sandwhiches to make it more affordable. I was wondering if someone had an easy croissant sandwhich idea. I was thinking turkey and cheese and ham cheese croissant sandwhiches as a start but really cant think past that. Anthying from simple condiments to other meats or even completely different ideas will help. Also, where the best place to get croissants and is there a certain kind of croissant that works best? I can cook very well so I need something simple. I really appreaciate any help provided.

Hello, i'm in quite the pickle here.
i recently purchased a bengal kitty and get her in june. I'm having a really hard time deciding whether to declaw her or not.
I know everyone says it's absolutely terrible for cats to be declawed and problems can occur.. I've had a few cats in my lifetime all declawed, and had no problems at all, in fact my first kitty i got is now 17 and still going strong. I've known a lot of cats that have been declawed and no problems.
I'm really not too sure what to do about her. My 1 1/2 year old that i have is declawed is an indoor kitty and she's happier then ever.. no problems. My bengal is also going to be an indoor, and i'm worried about the claws on my other kitty. The woman that runs the cattery clips their nails from weeks old so they're used to it, but they're still sharp and i'm worried about playing with my other.
any advice would be fantastic.. sorry for all the jumble!! thanks in advance!!

Recently, my ex-husband passed away, owing around $6,000 in child support. Last year, to help pay on the arrearage at that point, I received his income tax return. I should have received it again this year. However, his widow filed his return and received his return.

Is this right? Is there anything that can be done?

I am 4 1/2 months pregnant & the last time I was at the dr was April 19th....my doctor scheduled my next appt for May 17th....at my last appt I heard my babys heart beat and it was at 160..strong & healthy...but for some reason I keep thinking something is wrong..am I being paranoid??

I've had no cramping, no bleeding, no spotting...nothing but for some reason I keep worrying about a miscarriage. Like I am going to be at the dr's & them tell me the worst! Why am I stressing myself like this? This is my first pregnancy...is this normal???? Is it possible I had a miscarriage if I haven't had any symptoms of one???

Weird question I know...sorry....

I was at work and had to go home so that she could go and see her dad at the hospital, and when she called; it sounded as if he was about to die.
I just told her that now im gonna miss out on my bonus and she got mad.
Should I just drop it and not bring it back up?
It was my first chance at this bonus and I missed it by 3%.
I know that family comes first.
I guess I was just an expensive baby sitter, even though its my own baby.

I just want to know what some of you would have done?
