Sorry, the drama has just stated again
in the Bahamas so here another 24/7 coverage for anyone who wants the updates. Oh, forgot to mention her mother has just filed another suit in Florida for disposition of the body! My goodness!
My romance/drama novel.
I have been in medical transcription for 8 years and since our hospital sent us all home I have taken up writing in my spare time. I would like to invite everyone on the board to check out my website for my small publishing company and read about my romance novel.
Did you ever just wake up and be done with the drama?
I am 40 years old and have always tried to make everyone happy but lately I have had the attitude that I am not everyone's mother and it is not my job to make everyone happy. I have friends that I have cared dearly for and tried to help and they just will not step up to the plate and stop the drama. I am tired of the drama and I feel like I just am not putting up with another minute of it. I know some feelings will be hurt in the process but I work hard to keep my own life stable and I am tired of getting sucked into other people's dramas. My resolution is that I am not being anyone else's mommy unless they are actually a child!!
Me, too. It's just not worth all the drama.

wow...talk about drama, sm
First with the phone calls, I would use an answering machine and screen all calls, or maybe unplug the phone while you are working. Can you get one of those cheap pay as you go cell phones, give your dad the number and then change your home # and don't tell him?
It sounds, at least to me, that your dad needs immediate psych help. Is there a Baker Act or something where you live? Does your mom have a restraining order on him (it sounds to me like she needs one). There's only so much you can do for someone that doesn't seem to want help. While I loved my parents immensely, I would have sent them to an MD or shrink if one of them started doing this. Sometimes there's a role reversal in parents and adult kids where the parents are acting more like kids which leaves the child to be the adult and make them do stuff they really don't want to. I've had that happen to me while my parents were sick, and while it wasn't any fun I knew I had to force them to do things (take meds and see MDs) they didn't want to.
Good luck. Hopefully someone else might have a better solution
I don't thrive on drama at all...sm
There is nothing more I would love than to be left alone and not have to see or speak to him ever again. I am living on his property. He has a big barn on it. He comes and sits out there at that barn near every day. If I walk out in the yard to feed my dogs --- here he comes. I cannot avoid him. I have told him to go away. I have been ugly, rude, and just downright said don't come back to my house. I live on his property. What can I do? Yes I can move. That would cost a lot of money though. Money I don't have. I live in a mobile home and sure it can be moved but that costs a lot of money and you have to pay to have all the plumbing and air conditioning hooked back up plus the actual costs of pulling it. I have 2 dogs I do not let roam free. I have to have my fencing moved and everything. I would go through the hassle gladly to get away. But I don't have thousands lying around to do it. I keep my doors locked and don't answer them when he knocks but you know he will sit and wait for you to go somewhere and meet you outside. I can move on my mother's property and we are probably gonna have to just get the money somewhere and do it. We have looked to see if we could find an acre of land for sale to buy but there is no small tracts of land around here for sale.
The sheriff and my dad are friends so that poses a problem. He doesn't believe my dad is like this. Daddy can hide his instability when he wants to. I am going to talk with my husband and tell him somehow we have to move. We have to.
She is the drama queen but she does - sm
have a good voice (or at least I think she does, and they must too or they would not be putting up with her again).
Favorite Doc Drama
Well, it was Chicago Hope for a long time (I adore Mandy Patinkin), then nothing. Now, it's House but I have to wonder how in the world he got to be as good as he is, when he constantly misdiagnoses the patients for the first 45+ minutes of the show. LOL.
Drama Queen- for asking a question that...
I was looking for intelligent answers to? It's a big assumption to assume that I am an immature drama queen with a very active imagination! A bit extreme to make that type of judgement over a person asking for opinions, nothing more nothing less. I was not looking for hateful assumptions about what type of personality that *you* think that I have! Don't be so hateful with your posts! And since you are sooo big on making assumptions, allow me to make an assumption about you- You are not used to receivng attention from the opposite sex, you are having a hard time understanding my post because you have never been noticed before?
And perhaps you are getting a little carried away with being hateful so you probably should not answer serious questions if you have a problem with being respectful in your posts.
Thanks for your comment anyways, even though it was totally off base and not much appreciated!
i have 2 girls, 10 & 13, both are drama queens

update on teen drama
I posted before about how my son's ex-girlfriend was sabotaging him receiving an invitation to Sadie Hawkins dance. The girl that "changed her mind" can't find another date because it is too close to time.
So she follows my son all over the place, but she has to be loyal to the "Queen Bee" and doesn't seem to have the courage to ask him again.
Four years is a long time to be incarcerated in high school. Maybe he will get an A in chemistry instead!
Even if she wasn't a drama queen, that

It makes it hard to have other plans, but drama is
She's only a teenager once, and there's only one spring drama performance? How many weeks could this last? I wouldn't sweat it too much. We love to go "up-to-bat" for our children, but we need to pick our battles. If she is a teenager, you do not want to give the impression that you are not supportive. We found the same thing happening with baseball practice for our son last year, so we just planned on the "not knowing". He'll only play baseball for a few months, and then it's over :( Hang in there, she'll be driving herself soon... YIKES! I don't even want to think about that. Be glad she's involved in drama and not "other things"..... if you know what I mean... Good luck on the performance. I'm sure she'll make you proud! 
puleeze-you never met a male DRAMA QUEEN??

Obviously some people have enough substance in their lives to see that this is a drama queen looking
who happens to have a very active imagination and is extremely immature.
Drama mama- judge ordering Paris
back to jail. Supposedly a rash was the cause of her getting out but now they report it was she nearly had a mental breakdown. She should follow the fricking laws just like you or I do and maybe little miss twit wouldn’t land in the slammer. I feel no sympathy at all. I think, as well as probably millions of others, she is no better than anyone else. The judge is ticked she was let out, GOOD FOR HIM.
LATEST BREAKING NEWS ON BABY MAMA DRAMA
Howard Stern has just testified in court in Florida that he and Anna Marie did not have an exclusive only relationship- well, that did not take a rocket scientist to figure out with all the possible daddies coming forward, huh?
