She is mentally and emotionally abusive. I dont' let her see the kids much and want to stop it all together, but moving really far away. In the meantime I am pacifying her by letting her see them once ever now and than. I am worried she will go to court as here we have 'grandparetns rights'. Menal and emotional abuse is very hard to prove, and even harder when she is a 'pillar of the community' pastor's wife. Since I have cut back contact, my anxiety attacks have stopped and my kids have self confidenece.. my oldes child acutally plays and gets hyper (she used to be a serious and shy child). My kids dont' even have tempers and burts of sudden anger anymore! I am worried if she takes me to court because emotional abuse is 'he said, she said'. Can she MAKE me let the kids go around her? I am going to go to counselling to help me out, but also so there is documentation.. but that kind of documentation is more 'she said...' kind of stuff.

This has been bugging me lately. People normally tell me I have a good life but, obviously they don't seem to know me very well..

I'm 13, grew up with an abusive father. He left me, my mom, and 2 sisters last year on Oct.15. I'm glad he left but I can't help to feel somewhat depressed.

He ended up getting some other woman pregnant. (due in December).

I also got involved with drugs/alcahol last year but now i've decided to stop. I realize how stupid I was. So never again..

Over the summer I was saved by god, while visit My friends and Family in Texas. I really miss them all down there.

There's days where I feel sucidle or days where I hate myself. I wake up just about everyday wondering and asking myself why I'm still on this earth.

My question is, what is the point of life? I really don't want to hear things like "to live and die" or "to be happy" because to me, that won't happen. "at least not anytime soon"

I know it's generally safe to have sex while pregnant. However, I'm only 4 weeks and I'm afraid to have sex this early. Should I wait a certain period of time before having sex, or is it totally safe?

2007-09-16 12:01:00 · 12 answers · asked by dani 2 in Pregnancy

I know the exact date of conception because it could not have happened any other day - January 21st. First day of last period was Jan 9. My OB/GYN originally said i was due Oct 17. My first child was an emergency c-section, so on her advise I have scheduled an elective c-section on Oct 11. my last appt was friday Sept 14, and she said she felt the baby's head and I could be "short-timing it" as she put it. Yesterday (9/15) I felt what i thought were braxton-hicks, and my mom felt my tummy when it was clenched up, and agreed with me. I have not been able to put on any of my maternity pants anymore because she is so low between my legs. I can't even bring my legs together unless I squeeze them closed. I haven't felt any more braxton-hicks today. Just have a gut feeling that something will happen before the scheduled date of Oct 11. Want to know people's guesses about when to expect it, what to expect, and why you think that.... call it curiosity.

My wife and I are recently married and we have 3 boys 2 are mine and one is hers and we'd like to have one together.
I had a vasectomy back in 1998 before I was Divorced.
We're trying to find an insurance company that would pay for Artificial Imsomination(no luck yet!).
I love her and I see how she looks when she thinks it's never going to happen.
I'v even told her to try and find someone to get her pregnant with no strings attached,all they have to be is the sperm donor and they would never have to see her again.
To me thats love and I'd do anything to make her happy including having her have sex with someone else to get pregnant.
If there's any kind of help out there we sure would like to hear it.
Thanks for taking time to read this novel (lol)!

My former foster mom used to get upset when bill collectors would call for my former foster grandma (her mom), & we'd tell them she's dead. Well, she is dead. & she told us we should just tell them my foster grandma is really busy & to call back later.

My wife and I are moving across the country less than two months after we have our first child. We are considering buying a portable crib or a bassinet instead of a regular crib for the first couple of weeks.

When we went to look at portable cribs, the mattress seemed pretty flimsy compared to the regular cribs. Would it be safe for a newborn to sleep in a portable crib for that long? Should be try to find something with a firmer mattress --like a bassinet or a regular crib?

Although i really do love those names i listed, it is already clear to me that i should not name my daughters those. The middle names are family names and i don't want to use them as first names!

I think these are more sophisticated, please choose two favorites:
Abigail Olivia
Alayna Madison
Arabelle Sophia
Ayla Renee

Thinks that we're having sex. We aren't. We've been together a year and 7 months and we're only 15, we aren't stupid enough to have sex at 15 but as many times as my bf tells him that he keeps thinking we're having sex. Yes we kiss & make out a lot but we truely do love each other, our relationship is based on trust and loyalty, we talk about everything, most importantly we dont want to have sex..We know we love each other so the way we see it we're in love, we'll be together a long time, there will be plenty of time for that kind of thing if we get married, but no one believes that we dont believe in sex before marriage. And yes, his parents had him very young and they aren't together anymore, thats another reason we want to wait, but his dad only focuses on the way he was when he was 15. Believe it or not some of us do want to wait! So can someone please tell me why parents always assume that kids are having sex? What's a way to convince him for good that we aren't?
