Family & Relationships - 14 November 2006

My in-laws have been going through some serious crap lately... my father in law lost his father a couple months ago, now he is laid off from work, and just now his mother has gotten very sick and may have a terminal disease; this was all unexpected. My mother in law's mother has been sick and is now getting worse.

I get along with my in-laws better than I do my own parents. We havent always been close but now we all love each other.

I want to help them in this difficult time. We have no money to ease the financial burden on them; I have been through losses, but I was much younger then; so I dont know what I should do or say now as an adult. How can I be supportive and understanding? What can I possibly say? I feel awful because I'm so powerless to be of any real help. Especially with regards to my husband's 2 grandmothers... they may not have long and its so hard when you know they could go any day. How can I be more supportive? Thanks in advance.

im a white woman.i am currently doing some modeeling work and have lost alot of weight. i have met this wonderful young black man. i find myself more attracted to tall dark men. i thought he really liked me and when i asked me out he said i was too skinny and that he prefered heavy women. it did bother me but i let it go over my head. whilst out clubbing on the weekend i got talking to the black bar man when i asked him out , he said i was too skinny and that black men go for heavier women. he told me to put on weight and then he would consider it. i was just wondering do most dark men like heavier women

he reads my mail, my e-mail, he reads my text messages, he will stop at nothing. I am almost ready to leave him over it . I am so sick of it!!!! I have no privacy. I have tried councelling, and he won't ever go back, and I have tried asking...complaining...crying... threatening. whats more is... he is a computer programmer and he "claims" that no matter how many times I change my password, he can still get inot anything. is he lying about that ??? what should i do....it's obvious he doesnt trust me and never will. we were both unfaithfull to eachother a few years back... so do I have to suffer with no privacy FOREVER now???

My 9 year old daughter went to Yahoo image search for "kitten" pictures and got a picture of a kitten with a sign below it " every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten". How do I stop her from reading and seeing inappropriate material? Since I've went to the new Yahoo brower, I don't know how or where the "safe " button is.
Can you help me figure out how to regulate what my kids see on the internet?

If my current love heard me arguing with my ex over the phone, is that a turn off? Even though I appolgized for him having to hear that? He was a bit ticked off by my ex yelling at me(he could hear him through the phone).

i heard that men like petite women because its kind of an ego thing...it makes them feel bigger. ive also heard then men like petite women because they feel like they can protect them. im petite so if guys like short girls then thats cool. im a petite, fit girl with the kind of hourglass body and guys ive dated said they like short girls. soo why do you guys like petite girls?

Ok, I like this boy named Craig. All my friends say he likes me but I dont know weather to belive them or not. Well I got my friend Devin to ask him out for me, and he said "Im not telling you." So then I went up with her and Devin asked again for me. Now this time he said, "Why." Like he did every other time. (I liked him last year, and tryed to go out with him) Im really trying to get a straight yes or no out of him and all I get is a "why" I think it might be because everytime I ask him he's hanging with my friends... BUT I REALLY DONT KNOW THIS I WHY I NEED YOUR HELP!!! plz help me, how do i get a straight Yes or No from the guy, not just a "Why". Thanks

Don't you just love dumbass doctors that get paid too much and look at thier patients as wrok and not real people..They overllook extreme lung cancer..and then a 2 months later..when it's almost too bad they call you to tell you they didn't look close enough. and when they operate on you..and **** up.. then send you home. and when you have to be rushed into the hospital and can't breathe and they take a guy in before you with a twisted ankle..and you're mom dies. I hope doctors ******* die..Im 14..I can't handle this ****.I could talk to my mom about it..oh yeah that's right..she's ******* dead.

My friends parents are... abusive? They party all the time, his dad is an alchoholic, and his mom leaves the house, sometimes for days on end. His dad sometimes even goes with her, leaving him to do everything for the rest of the family, his younger brothers, cooking meals, everything. What can I do to help him?
