I'm sure he will grow into a fine man and some lucky girl out there will hit the jackpot, husband-wise!

Congratulations on raising a fine son!

who care only for themselves and nobody else.  We care deeply about our loved ones and it is extremely difficult to turn them out, even if it is the right thing and only thing left to do!  It's not about backbone, lady!  Where's your compassion?  This is painful for her.  She is watching her father sink further and further into mental illness and she feels helpless.  She wants to fix him, take care of him, and make him better, but she is realizing she can't.  That's a painful realization -- the realization that no matter how much you love them, no matter how much you try to help, it will never be enough, you will never succeed, and the only thing left to do is save yourself. 

Curious Girl, will eventually do what she needs to do, but doing what is right can be just as painful as something that is wrong.  What she needs are shoulders to cry on and people around her to tell her she's a good person NOT criticize her and tell her she needs to grow a backbone!

I have a friend who is so sweet and kind, wouldn't hurt a fly, but never has her act together. Chronically having financial issues, phone turned off, electricity turned off, borrows money, phone back on, phone back off, etcl, still more financial issues. Always cancellig plans at the last minute, sometimes with no call, because of course, phone is turned off.  She has a fairly good job, and although I know money is tight, it seems she keeps overextending herself.  But she is so nice and good-hearted.  But I am still  frustrated with all the no-shows and cancellations and constant issues.  Have you ever had that type of situation and do you just keep dealing with them because they are sweet people or do you just stop dealing with it?  Does dealing with it make you an enabler?

HELP......  My son is 17, almost 18 years old.  His girlfriend of one year (a lifetime at this age) has just left (two weeks ago) for college about 4 hours away from hometown... my son is having a HORRIBLE time adjusting to this.   She is partying, not text messaging, no emails, etc. etc.  all the while claiming she loves him but just does not think about him much anymore.   I was up until almost midnight last night with a crying teenager and trying to explain to him that this too will make him stronger and all the crap you are supposed to say, none of which seemed to make him feel any better.   He is horribly lonely... they have not officially "broken up" though she said if that would make him happy she understands...  What is a mother to do?  Back away slowly and let him walk through it...  make cookies and wring my hands until I go nuts... watch him be depressed and say nothing at all????  Any other Mom's who have gone through this???  ANY help would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance. 

She said in an interview awhile back that if it wasn't for her baby, she'd be with Daniel whereever he was.  She wanted to leave this earth.

This whole thing is so sad - like some horrible made-for-TV-movie. 

soccer kicker's toe, football kicker's toe, etc.  RICE is the treatment for it.  It looks worse than it actually is.  (RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation.)

Two people were both in very bad marriages when they met - her husband had been cheating for years but she was afraid to leave, his wife had kicked him out repeatedly but had him come back to live basically as a roommate to help pay the bills.  They fell in love.  He was a strong Christian and started to feel terribly guilty and told her through many tears that it had to end, that God had to come first.  She, being a backslidden Christian herself saw that he was right.  Through many tears and lots of prayers for forgiveness and help, they let each other go.  Later, his wife kicked him out again, this time permanently.  About six months later, his love decided to finally leave her still cheating husband.  She told the man she loved.  He said that he missed her terribly and it was the hardest thing he had ever done, but because of the way their relationship started, they could never be together again, because it would be a sin.  She disagreed, feeling that they had been forgiven for what they had done and that neither of their marriages ended because of each other.  Who do you agree with?
