short to wait around on other people for whatever.  Probably plenty of people to talk to.  I just got out of the habit of going alone actually and it is time to get back into it.  Sometimes I agree you go with people and spend more time worrying if they like where you wanted to go than doing what you want.  Yep I am going to go for it.

since an addition is being made to a family during pregnancy, a lot of families see themselves as pregnant - as one - as a whole unit...nothing wrong with it - actually makes the entire family participate in it, which is a GREAT thing............not like the men of the 1950s who went to work and the moms did absolutely  everything else....I like men/families who WANT to take part and be involved.

Old fashioned or not - I prefer the way the men participate today in all of it..........makes for better communication and all know what's going on in the family....

FYI to all, keep your old fashioned minds open because a closed mind will make you old WAY before your time.

My biological mom moved out of state when I was in 3rd grade, and my stepmom's first husband had died in a car accident. Plus my sister and stepbrother are less than 2 months' apart in age, which mostly didn't get noticed because she moved out of state with my mom while I stayed with my dad. The only thing that caused confusion was that my stepsister and I have almost identical names (similar first name, same middle name, last name with same first initial), and the oldest 4 of us all have names starting with M. When my brother was born, they gave him name starting with J

I find it interesting that when a young woman posted that her mother and grandmother were abusing her, no one felt sorry for her.  Everyone one told her to forgive and forget.  I also find it interesting how judgemental everyone was about who was the victim. That the grandmother and the mother were the victim and not the daughter.  It seems ironic given the long, long, long, posts on domestic violence this morning.

Wanted to let you know you are not alone.  I went through a similar situation myself.  I married this wonderful man, and while I knew he had really down moments, I did not realize they were to that extent.  After moving 10 hours away from my parents and support system of friends I found out some very shocking news.  He had bipolar manic depressive disorder.  I loved this man, I even allowed him to adopt my son.  Then the worst thing happened, I came home to find him sitting on the floor with a knife.  I was scared so of course I called his father and mother.  We checked him into  a facility and while doing the interview/intake my MIL relates to the nurse that he had previously attempted to take his life.  He had done this several times.  I sat there in shock I knew nothing of this.  I can clearly remember the look in my FIL eyes when he seen that I was not privy to this information.  I was hurt and angry and still am to an extent.  I still love this man to this day but had to let him go as that is what he wanted.  My inlaws and I had several long talks one resulting in me becoming so angry I told my mother in law that she was allowing this behavior and I thought she was to blame for all of his problems.  If she had been a better mother this would not be happening.  I hurt her that night and I regret it now.  When I did make amends she told me she knew I was just hurt scared and needed to vent.  I think you will find that is what you have done.  There will come a time for you to make your amends, when you are ready. I do not feel that you were being out of line when you said these things.  That is how you feel.  We have to own our feelings because running from them will never help.  You are hurting right now.  My guess is you are frustrated as well.  Help was all you asked for and none was provided.  You have a right to those feelings.  I would just drop this idea of another email.  Why do you have to be sorry?  You have children and a husband who is ill concentrate on them.  They need you.  Best of luck to you and your family. 

My mom used to do that. UPS was always stopping at her place delivering something from QVC or HSN EVERY DAY! I soon found out that she had maxed out all her credit cards. She was going into early dementia stages and really didn't remember ordering all that stuff, and all she really had was $500 a month SS, yet her CC payments were close to that a month because of it. That's when I stopped watching, too.

If this woman has family, I'd let them know about it, so they could try to stop it before it gets out of hand.

I need some advice.  I married my husband almost 3 yrs. ago.  I have an adopted son from a previous marriage.  My husband's family is very close, sisters all live within walking distance of each other.  They have never experienced life without the other.  I did not have family very close like that while growing up so it took some getting used to.  Which I thought I had.  Until this.  Little over a year and a half ago my husband's grandmother died.  My father in law put together a  memorial CD to be played at the service, afterwards we all recieved a copy.   Which was very nice.  I still have it. 

Since my husband and I both work and we have a son who at this point in time cannot stay by himself, and because my husbands mother loves him he goes there until one of us get done with work.  Yes I make sure she is paid.  My son came home last week and asked me if he would be sad like everyone at grandmas house when I died.  I was taken aback.  Mainly because I haven't really thought about dying and I was confused about the question.  When I asked him to explain to me what he was talking about this is what I got.

Well every morning at grandmas she makes us watch the great grandma video her and the other aunts all cry and carry on.  It is to the point that the youngest in the family who was only 3 weeks old when grandma died comes over as well and cries.  Grandma died in January of 07. 

I approached my husband with this and he sees no problem with it.  That is just how it is.  Ever since I brought up my concerns he has shut me out.  I am not invited to family things.  If I make an effort to try they shut me down.  I can't go to my husband because he is the same way.  I guess I am not sure what or how to handle this.  My husband and his family are great people.  I am just getting tired of being called a liar and trouble maker. 

I told my son it is not healthy for this to happen he is 12.  I told him when something does happen to me, I know he will be sad for awhile but I would not want him to carry on like what is happening right now.  We all have a season to love, live, give, and make the world we know a  little better just by being here.  I know grandma would be sick  if she saw this.  I am concerned this will break apart our marriage as the family bond is VERY THICK.  Please let me know what the appropriate thing to do would be in this case.

Thanks
