That is usually true, but not all of the time. Is there a reason?

There are kids involved - my boyfriend and I are not engaged, we don't live together --- yet their mom wants to "talk" with me.

I understand her concern about who is around her kids, Im not involved in their discipline or take part in any decision making regarding them.

I have told my boyfriend that I do not feel that at this point it is necessary for me to "talk" with her. But she is pushing my boyfriend to MAKE me "talk" with her. She has sugggested that I might "mistreat" the children and is insistant that we meet somewhere so that she can "know" me. There is no reason for her to say something like this - the kids all like me.

He's told her that he will not force me into doing something I'm not ready to do.

Now whenever the kids are around I feel stressed and upset - I feel that their mom will not acknowledge or respect my boundaries in this situation and kids are not dumb -

What's the best way for me to protect myself from her without causing stress for everyone else?

I am an 18 year old female who was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. My psychologist put me on 150mg of Effexor XR a day. I have been on it since March 7th 2007. I have seen an improvement with my depression and anxiety however I feel there is something more to it. Most of my side-effects from the medication have dissappeared other than my low blood pressure which is causing me to faint but I am getting an ECG and a holter monitor to analyze that. Blood tests say it is not due to hypoglycemiaI have always been a jealous person although I am pretty good at hiding it with my friends. I am not so good at hiding it with my boyfriend. He is an amazing guy and I am so lucky to have him but I get paranoid if he goes out with friends. Here is an example, he went to Wrestlemania with his cousin and I made up a scenrio in my mind that he went to meet up with a girl and cheat on me. I did this even after I saw his ticket for the event.....

i dreampt that i was platonically snuggling with my ex bf (and good friend) in a wagon in the streets of New York City and he was describing a drink he said was being served at a coffee shop we used to hang out at. He called it the Golden Lotus Cappucino, and described that the foam was golden and the best part was the real Gold Lotus that placed on the drink before serving it to you. Then he moved in for a kiss and I told him I couldn't, and he wandered off into the streets and disappeared. I woke up hearing myself explain "I would be angry if my boyfriend kissed another girl, especially one he had history with and thats why I cant kiss you"

Ideas?

for example, you are a teacher and you notice that a student is uncomfortable..and kinda nervous looking, are you more likely to feel uncomfortable or nervous or are you more likely to just be yourself.

He had a nice dorm room that he kept a mess.
He had a Compaq desktop, Dell Latitiude D810 laptop, digital camera, etc.

When I went to college I had to sleep in my truck until I could find a job good enough to afford a cheap apt. Yet I didn't feel the need to ventilate my classmates, and some of them were spoiled brats.

Before we got married, he cheated on me. But, we are happily married now and we have moved passed that. Since then, I have been having dreams about cheating on him with different guys. What does this mean? (Please don't lecture me about getting back with him after he cheated.)

This afliction deals with perticular people that are born to be sinned upon. That means, by the force of nature, everyone will find it easy to sin upn them, and push that person around. Thus, the person aflicted ends up with a posible destiny to kill; since, we know that if a person is pushed and pushed he ends up hating what continues to push him. If the person continues to be pushed, from that point on, he is likely to kill what ever it is that keeps pushing him.

The thing is, this deals with the forces of good and evil, and no one really wants admit those forces actually exist. As it is easy to sin upon that person, the people tend to do it; but, it is still their choice, so they are condemned for their actions, and the few good are sifenned out as good.

Society calls the aflicted delusional; but, what if it's true, what if it's real? Then the aflicked and the attackers (bullies, etc.) must be identified; the aflicked protected and the bullies corrected.

Please let me clarify- why is it that mentally ill people, when and if they 'lose control', never go crazy and do something either positive or neutral?

It seems like whenever someone becomes "insane" they invariably commit crimes, such as murder, rape, assault, etc. Is this a true statement, or is this simply the result of what the media chooses to show the masses? "No news is good news" it has been said. So has anyone who is either mentally ill or "normal" (whatever that means) ever lost control and actually done something positive in order to get attention?

If they wish to get attention (people like the V Tech murderer), why would people like that never elect to do something positive or beneficial to humankind? For example, instead of slaughtering innocent people, how about helping the homeless find jobs? Or, caring for people who are elderly?

Am I just being idealistic and naive here?

Why do people lose control and always do harmful things, rather than helpful things

this happened to me some time ago. the dream was so recurrent that it really puzzled me and tried to memorise some bits of the words i was saying to be able to identify that language when awake. it sounded like no existing language though. i suppose.

have you ever had a similar dream ?

"To have a bad future is better than having no future."

This quote actually scares me. I am terrified of the idea of my life's story ending at one point, and that I would be out of the picture. I am not talking about death. I am talking about being defeated. Broken. Humiliated.

The notion of having hope with the future, and that it may be better than today, is what keeps me going. But is it possible that someone would accept going to a bad future to having no future at all? Please explain your thoughts in detail about this.

And yes, there were moments where I lost my will to even try to work for a future. It wasn't suicide in my mind. It was just stepping aside and letting life have its way with me.

I never wanna go back to that place again.

For example, there was a Popeye cartoon where, for some reson, he was wrestling with alligators. He would flip them over and rub their bellies, and they would stop fighting. Anything that calm you like that? For me it's classical music. I can't help but be calm when I hear it.

My family is on the verge of being homeless. My mother, who lives in a large house, and is financially secure, offers no assistance. Yet she has the gall to pretend to care about us. The act is maintained in order to avoid censure.

My father's death left her free to hoard money in the bank, while depriving us during our childhood.

Understand, I do not use drugs, smoke, drink, or sleep around. I am a single, disabled mother, struggling to raise two young children. Without subsidized housing, our income is inadequate.

When asked to assist in the past (3 times in 43 years) she immediately donned her victim cloak and began bleeting, pathetically, about her own financial distress. She and I are estranged because of this. Though I have not denied access to the children.

Rather than enter a shelter, I will approach her, in writing, a final time. I will request a deposit for permanent, affordable housing. ($2,500-$3,000) What is the best method of getting it?
