My son hates my husband so much that he wont come a visit me when I have visitation days.
I married the man who demolished our family so I understand what he feeling about us are, I don't push anything.

My Ex. finally got a family therapist for him after a few weeks The therapist had everyone involved in on a family session. My son went postal on us to the point that when my husband started to get defensive my 14 year flat out told me he did not want to be my son and he will continue hating me to my grave!

I finally got courage enough to say my response and my son tore me to shreds!
It was bad, now am taking antidepressant and seeing my on therapist about my own issues.
After 3 months we all sat down again, My son gave me an ultimatum dispose of my current husband and never have contact with him or my son would dispose of me!

I don't want to lose my son this way, but he hurting what should I do?
Choose son, or husband I can't have both, my happiness gone either way!

I know this is going to sound so stupid but I have a really bad phobia. Im deathly afraid of spiders. We recently moved house and its a very old house, the problem is its full of them and they are not the small ones, they are huge and they seem to be everywhere. I am so terrified im seriously considering moving house again, sometimes I have to go and stay the night at my moms because Im so scared. Im constantly on the edge of my nerves and I cant sleep at night because I have terrible nightmares. I know they cant hurt me but I cant help it, it makes me feel ill and its very debilitating.
What can I do to either:
Stop them getting in, or Get over my phobia?
Please help.

ive been a care assistant for 4 years. i loved my job at first, but now i hate it. i have to provide personal care to the elderly within their homes.
I feel so depressed gping to work, i cant stomach the smells i have to deal with also my patience is running very thin with the elderly as they treat me like a SLAVE.
Everyone in work (elderlt clients and co workers) they have all noticed how misrable i have become and ive overheard a few of them saying "he doesnt care about the clients he just wants to get in and out as soon as possible"

They are Right. Do you think I should leave my job? Im not sure weather im depressed or i simply just hate my job.

Any ideas on what I should do? (please note, i ould not cause anyone any harm at work) even though my patience is running thin.

I reckon i should find another job....what do you think?

Yes, I'm full of intense hatred and fear. I'm very mistrusty of people, and It's very hard for me to make friends or even talk to ppl. I feel like I'm not good at anything, and I've also had a very miserable childhood. I have no social life now, and I've *tried* soo hard in the past to improve my life and socialize, but it seems that wherever I go, "I always run Into what I don't want, and never get anything I want". Like the fricken universe itself doesn't want me to be happy. Why do these forces beyond my control hold me back, no matter how hard I try?

What can I do about this?

What's the appeal of being a jerk? This is absolutely a serious question by someone who is tired of being part of the minority of people who believe that rudeness/being a jerk are poor substitutes for true personal integrity and strength. But, ever the enlightened thinker, I am interested more in the why than the why not, perhaps it is I who is "missing out". Perhaps I didn't get the memo, so if you know (or have ever been told by a credible source) that you are: rude, a jerk, an a$$hole, or mean, please explain to me why you have chosen to be this way and why you suppose the majority of people today seem to agree with you? I am genuinely curious.

I'm looking for things like oppression, greed, attention...
When people are oppressed by their governments, they rebel.
When people want power, they start a rebellion and take over...

What are some other motives for rebellion? or what is the motivation behind a rebel? What could they be fighting for? and what is the cause?

Have you ever gone to do something you thought you always wanted to do and had it finally come together only to realize that you're not too into it as you once thought? Where do you go from here--if there was no plan b? This is the sort of thing that makes you feel lost and utterly confused and transparent and it's like there's no getting out of the dark tunnel--do you continue to peruse, even if you have doubts and aren't at all passionate about it or... You based all of your life's goals all on this one thing--and now you think it's caving in.

Abortion has been completely eradicated. Government funding of abortion is now a thing of the past. Filth on television has been severely cracked down upon and completely annihilated. In my opinion, Bush will be remembered as one of Americas greatest presidents.

okay. i wrote this poem. i'm 14. what do you think of it? note: constructive critisism is greatly appreciated.

so here it goes...

i never dreampt it possible,

never considered even once,

that i could be surrounded

by everyone i know

yet still could shake in pain

due to the lonlieness trapped inside me now.

i sit and stare at him and her,

at all lovers indeed,

and tremble in evny,

dreaming of what life could be.

visions of love and laughter

flood my mind and unite;

a picture perfect world

hidden right beneath my eyes.

these images of fantasy

are soon crushed by reality

and remind me that i'm crazy.

i hold on to what i do have still

and plead to defy fate

and what is sure to be.

my heart cries.

i don't want to feel alone for eternity.
