I agree that perhaps your son and/or you should talk to someone. If not a counselor, perhaps your preacher.
Good luck to you. Again, my prayers are with you both.

I have had love interests, but going so far
as to try to kill someone or even think of it and plan something? Not on your life! You see, I take the stance that there are lots more police out there than little ole me. I have the mind set if I do something wrong, I will always be caught. I have been and still get emotional BUT never, ever think of murder. There is not one single person in this world that I hate, not really dislike. I think she needs a good psychiatric check and probably needs someone to watch closely in case she takes not only another life but her own. I read just the other day of a lady accused of prostituting, in jail and killed herself. An astronaut, much less. There is really no other way you can look at this. The story really speaks for itself. I am glad the other woman escaped or instead of attempted it might be the real thing. Did not catch the ages of the children but you would think she would have thought of them before she went on this rampage.
My SO is too busy working to have many outside interests.
He's a workaholic in the best sense of the word. He has his own company, is passionate about what he does, and looks forward to each day's work. He's too wrapped up in his company right now to do things like hobbies, although he does run each day.
Talk to OM and find out hobbies, interests, etc

My prayers are with you...sm.
God bless you for loving Misha and Sasha so much. I have a Sasha, too. She is almost 14 years old, and her sister from the same mom, Keesha, is also 14 years old. They are getting very feeble and I don't think they'll be here much longer, so I truly understand your loss. May God fill you with many wonderful memories of Sasha and Misha playing together, running, having fun, so that those days when you feel your heart is breaking, you can smile, knowing that you did everything humanly possible to provide for her. I can tell from your post that your animals are your fuzzy children, and God bless you for loving them so much. We have a saying in our household that our "puppies" are God's little angels sent to keep us focused on what is important in life. Your post was a very loving tribute to your angel, Misha, who you will see again. God bless.
Thank you for your prayers.
She only eats Special Kitty (in the pouch) from Wal-Mart. I've been feeding her this for the past two years or so. I stopped giving her the Special Kitty the day I heard about the recall and checked the website but it was too late. She must have eaten the tainted food. We noticed she was drinking more water on Saturday and took her to the vet yesterday. Her BUN is down significantly but her creatinine is still too high. It came down a bit today but not enough. The vet is hoping we can take her home by Friday but that is if she pulls through.
I'm so sorry. You will be in our prayers.

you are in my prayers
If you cannot work and you took the necessary steps to inform them that you cannot, then don't. It is very rude that they did not respond to you. I am so sorry you are in this position. I cannot image having to go through that. I would take the time off and not worry about them. There are other jobs out there and obviously they are not worth working for NOR are they worth putting your life on the line. Take care.

Wow. It kind of makes you want to wrap your kids in plastic bubble wrap and never let them out of their room, doesn't it? What a tragedy for this family. I will definitely pray for them.
My prayers are with them (nm)

While I do not agree with the Senator's politics, I know how hard this diagnosis must be for him and his family. They are in my prayers.
prayers :(
how very sad
I'm totally confused at what the message is though, you cannot kiss your baby if you have a history of cold sores? I know that the sloughing usually starts when you feel the tingling and stuff before you get one. I dont have them but my boyfriend does, but they only flare up every now and then...
this is very scary and I will be aware some day if or when i have children.
Thanks for sharing and they are in my thoughts and prayers, and so is the poster below :(

Sending You Prayers
I'm so sorry that you have to though this again if you did miscarry. My thoughts are prayers are with and your husband.
Prayers for you - I am a Christian and I truly believe (sm)
that she is with God. A person as good as she was certainly does not go for eternity anywhere other than in God's presence. I believe this with my whole heart, and I hope that you can too. Don't even think about the doctors' part in her death. Just think of it as God wanted her home, and so he took her.
Sorry to hear this. My prayers to you. nm

I think you asked also for prayers. Maybe it SM
went to another board.
prayers and doers
anonymously "helping" won't help. Go help her pack. That is way more compassionate, caring, helpful and supportive than praying for her.
I'm so sorry. Prayers for you and your dear family.

Hey, all of our central FL MTs out there! Prayers for you and hoping sm
ya'll are doing fine! I just heard that some twisters produced winds of more than 300 mph. Unbelievable. Even stronger winds than a cat 5 hurricane.
Lots of people out there need our prayers and supupport. Let us remember them today at all of their devastating loss. May God give them rest and peace today........
Hugs and prayers to you. I know your pain right now and wish
there was something I could say or do to make it better for you. Just know that all of us here are keeping you in our hearts and prayers.
Dont have any secrets, just prayers for you.
how I quit. When my daughter was about 6 we were taking a small trip, and in the weeks prior (and as usual) when we would stop at the store or gas station she would ask for some candy or something. One day I said "you know, if you would stop asking for something every time we stopped, we would have more money for our trip" (and no, I didnt buy her something every time LOL). She thought for a moment and then said, "if you would not buy cigarettes, we would probably have more money too".
She was not a back talker or a smart mouth either, just very sincere and to the point.
Anyway, long story short, I quit cold turkey a couple of weeks later (after our trip).
Been thinking about you. Prayers to you and your family.

I absolutely would accept any and all prayers.

Yes, my prayers are with him and his family too. Just heard
it is a glioma type of brain tumor and stage IV. It is a very aggressive type of brain tumor. Afraid it does not look good, but hopefully he is strong enough to withstand the chemotherapy and radiation and possibly surgery or surgeries.
If receiving anonymous help, prayers,
painting him out to be a monster, talking to parishioner or WHATEVER contributes in any way to get her one more step toward out, then she should try it all. Things are simply not as cut and dried in the world of abuse as you would like to think. You never know what turn of a phrase or sense of inspirational support (even if it is coming from strangers) is going to do the trick, so anybody looking from the outside in should try everything they know. Also, especially with kids involved, this is no time to throw caution to the wind in such a volatile and potentially violent or, God forbid, fatal situation.
I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here. My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this. It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Thoughts and prayers to all of you from all of us in South Dakota...nm

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way. SM
I hope your son realizes we all make mistakes (including him) and that he finds it in his heart to forgive. Your grandchildren need to know you and vice versa. I truly hope it all works out for you. My dad and I were estranged even after I repeatedly attempted to reconcile and he died without ever meeting my children. So sad.
Prayers and good juju for Miss Lily
I hope the op goes smoothly and she is is soon home and feeling great! Have all the other problems cleared up? Poor thing has been through a rough patch lately but I'm so happy you are a good mom to her!
Glad your son is safe and sound. Prayers to those who aren't. nm

Mary, I offer my prayers for the safety of your sons. SM

I think that is entirely up to you. I wish I had followed my heart on that one - sm.
When I was pregnant with my first baby, I worked in a hospital and my co-workers kept telling me don't tell anybody until you know for sure nothing is going to happen and until you start to show. Then everyone said to not buy anything for the baby until you are past 6 months. For the record, I NEVER did start to show, my baby was born at 27 weeks. I bought my baby bed on Friday, and he was born on Sunday. He lived 3 weeks and 6 days. Since his death, I went on to have three more children, and I told the whole world as soon as I knew, and we celebrated from day one. So....please follow your heart.
More so than heart, seems to be
the ribs. I am gonna tell them they have to get to the bottom. Just pain medicine alone not doing it.
My heart goes out to you
and your daughter. Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, as right now my first cat I ever had is suffering from cancer. She is getting so skinny and I know it won't be long before we have to put her down. It makes me cry every time I look at her. She had surgery, but the cancer is already back, so there's nothing else to do for her. That has to be the worst thing about having pets, having to say goodbye. Just keep the memories in your heart and know that you gave her a wonderful life.
Thank you, and my heart wants
to bring in another, but the timing isn't right with me in school and expenses tight after all the vet bills. Besides, Sasha seems to enjoy being the center of attention. I'm thankful we still have her.
my heart goes out to you.
What it means (IMO) is at the least that he has a short fuse, no control of his tongue and not much opinion of himself. Its probably hard for him to hold you or anyone one else in high esteem because he thinks so little of himself. There's no doubt more at play too, but this behavior doesn't mean he hates you. I've been in this similar environment. Learn to love and respect yourself enough that those kind of comments don't devastate you. It takes time and effort. A person of this kind needs to change from the inside out. How long have you been married? I can't help but wonder if there is anything spiritual that you share with him. You can't change him, so concentrate on what you can change (yourself, your means of coping, how you treat your job, relationship etc). It's hard not to be depressed in these situations. I'm sorry he hasn't learned to appreciate you. Stay safe. There are people who care about you! e/m me if you like.
I am so very sorry, my heart is with you.
Sending all kinds of warm fuzzies to you. So sorry this is happening and you have to go through it. Please do one thing. Look in the phone book when he is around BTW for the local domestic violence hotline. It is an 800 number, it is confidential, and you don't even have to give your name. Tell them these stories. They are open 24/7 just to listen. They will make you feel better. Also, please make sure you are safe. Keep a cell phone with you at all times, and your important papers and the childrens' all in one place in case you need them. Do not let him know any of this at all. Also if you don't have your own bank account open one just for you and the children. Dont let him know. Also, please have a safe place to go. The hotline will describe all these things to you. They also will suggest a local center you can go just to talk someone, as often as you would like to go for free. He does not have to know that either. I am not saying this so that you should be secretive. I am saying so that it will not trigger his anger and the circle of control. Like I said, stay safe, call that hotline ASAP and listen to them and the outpatient counselor. I have been through it. You need people to love you and make you feel worthwhile again and soon you will have the strength to see why this is happening and how to stop it. Please call them and let us know here you are okay.
My heart goes out to you . .
and your husband. Best to get professional care as soon as possible. Get to the PCP and then a thorough workup and mental assessment. This could be any number of things - stress, a medical condition, a mental condition. Just the other day I read something that was fascinating. I read about a woman who was having trouble with her husband who was 60. His behavior was getting odd, and strange. After much workup he was diagnosed as having Asperger's, this coming after a full functioning life. I found this quite interesting. Get help and keep us posted. You are in my prayers.
My heart goes out to you.
They give such unconditional love, even those moody cats darn it! So sorry about Sixer. :(
My heart goes out to you.
It sure sounds like you are doing the best you can do. This economy right now is the pits, and it makes everything so much harder. Have you checked to see if any medical insurance is available through your state? Here in my state, Washington, we have an insurance program that you can qualify for if you meet income guidelines. I would sure check into that. If you don't keep your health, then you will have a much worse situation than you have now.
My heart really goes out to you...
When my 2nd son was in school, he was misdiagnosed with a learning disability and placed in an inappropriate classroom. I know what you are going through there.
Do you live in the South? The reason I ask is because my kids were all born and raised until early teens in New England. They had wonderful schools and understood ADD (which is what my son has). He was not put into a special classroom, he was just taken out occasionally for extra help. Nobody he was in class with knew where he went or what his "diagnosis" was.
Then my husband was transferred to Florida and what a HUGE difference in schools! The people in Florida, just wanted to label my son and put him in exclusive "special ed" classes only! There is nothing wrong with my son other than he has short term memory problems. But this school system created more problems for him than you can imagine! He was devastated and has really never been the same since that horrible experience.
My 3rd son has ADHD and when we moved to Texas a few years later, he had an even WORSE experience. Not only did they label him, but the teachers openly taunted him in class. He got "written up" for typical childish behavior, nothing out of the ordinary, they just stayed on his back constantly. They treated him like he was retarded.
I wish they could see him now - he is ready to graduate in May at the top of his class. He has completed 4 years of the Air Force junior ROTC and has already been accepted into a very difficult school to get into. I would just love to go back and show them how he turned out - in spite of their labels.
I don't think your school district can prohibit you from accompanying your child to school if you want to. I don't think that's legal, but I would check into it.
Good luck to you and if you just need someone to talk to who has been through the same things, feel free to e-mail me.
My heart goes out to you
I cannot imagine surviving through what you just described. Joel was very lucky to have such loving parents who obviously did everything within their power for him.
~Blessed Be~
home is where your heart is
Home has always been Texas but almost seven years ago I married a wonderful man and my children and I moved away to the Northwest to make a "home" with him. I went home as often as I could to see my ailing grandmother who raised me. As much as I tried I just could never seen to feel at home here but life as it is my beloved grandmother passed away and Texas no longer was the home I longed for I was happy here with my family and this last year I gave birth to a beautiful little boy and ever since I have felt this inexplicable need to take him home, home to my grandmothers house (someone elses home now) and to feed the ducks in the park like she did so many times with me growing up. So this year I am taking my baby ??home?? to plant roses at my grandmothers grave like I did so many times in her yard and bring home some roses from her yard my mother was kind enough to save for me when they sold her home. So that I can plant them in my yard and create a special place to sit with my little one and tell him stories of my childhood and of the special angel he has to watch over him as he grows up. So where is home???? Home for me has always been in my grandmothers embrace and I thank god each day that I was so blessed to know such love and pray that he will guide me in being the same kind of mother to my children and hopefully they feel (or will feel) about me the way I do about her. So this CHRISTMAS tell those dear to you how much you love them. Merry Christmas
