O Boy, where do I begin?
First off, I would TELL him she's coming, I would not ASK him. You're an adult, she's an adult...you don't need permission from anyone to see your family.
Second, as other posters have stated, tell the bum to get a job...he doesn't know what he wants to do??? Puhleeze...make money, honey...that's the bottom line of a job, right?
He's the one manipulating you, sweetie...I hope against hope that you don't have kids with this jacka$$...BTW, I'm prayin' for ya!!!
I would like it that they don't get pregnant to begin with.
n,m,
To begin with, I think the parents of the boy - (sm)
are unusually intuitive, open-minded and understanding to allow their transgender child to live as the gender he or she feels is the right one.
But I DON'T understand why they want him in a Catholic school. Regardless oftheir beliefs, etc., if they've chosen to let him live as a female, it would probably be easiest for him to get a fresh start at a new school - as a female. Children can be very cruel, and in the case of his current school, it sounds like teachers will likely not stand up for him if teasing or bullying happens.
Also, one of my old boyfriends is transgender. Even though I'm in agreement with his decision to live as he wants, since he was a guy when I was dating him, that gender is pretty much hardwired into my brain now, and it's twice as hard to think of him as a woman as it would be if I had known about his transgender right from the beginning. (Does that make sense? It's hard to describe).
I still think this boy's mother is to be commended for standing by her child, but maybe he needs to have a say in what church he goes to, as well. There are many Episcopalian churches in my area that are very gay and transgender friendly. If she truly has an open mind, she might consider exploring other education and religious venues for her child.
The closed-minded congregation at her church sound like losers, but this mom is a real hero, in my book.

You are the one who brought up hair....."Would you want someone to force you to be throwing up every half hour and lose your hair???".....direct quote. You presumption is plain ridiculous. I could give a dammmmnnnnn about her hair. Yes it is nice it came back as good as it did, and I have talked to plenty of mom's at the clinic as that is one of their concerns as well, dummbb thing to worry about, but probably more of a defense/denial mechanism I think for all of us who have had kids in this situation, and it is hard for any child to deal with, believe me whe was very self-conscious at times about it. But as I said if her losing her hair was the worst thing to happen I could care less, I was being realistic. Yes, I feel bad for the lady below, not all children live no matter what type of treatment is used, it is a fact of life. I just believe you have a better chance with proven clinical protocols, not natural remedies. I am sure had I refused the chemo all helllll would have broken loose too, but I knew from my work it was a tried and true method and trusted her doctors. A lot depends on the type of cancer and the stage. My daughter is one of the lucky ones, it was caught early and was favorable (another week or two and it would probably been a very different outcome as she had a very aggressive fast growing tumor) and I am thankful for that but also have compassion and feelings for those whose children don't make it. The first thing they gave me when she was diagnosed was this book on childhood cancers, you want to cry your eyes out, read that, it is not all about happy endings. Between my two kids I been in and out of hospitals since 2000, I have seen a lot of good and bad in those years. I volunteer with the local organization at the hospital as much as I can, donate/raise funs for it and Make-A-Wish too. I have been around enough cancer for ten lifetimes between 4 family members and my own child. Chemo helped all but one who had lung cancer and refused to quit smoking after her diagnosis. My dad and FIL are both cancer-free now, one is 9 years out, the other 4-years out now. My SIL's mom came back from pancreatic cancer and has been cancer-free now for 3 yaers, they all told her she was a goner, chemo saved her life. It is a miracle she is even alive. My great-aunt with the lung cancer died the night she was given the results of her evaluation after her chemo was completed, which obviosly did not work for her. I have another friend with inoperable lung cancer, just had radiation and now going into chemo. He has a very good prognosis by some miracle. He still has not stopped smoking but 1 cig a day compared to the 4 packs a day is a pretty good improvement. He is trying to quit that and I am sure soon will. I doubt he will be "cured" but at least he may get a few more years to live. Not all of us are ready to give up at 13. I know chemo works, again more than it fails. Some natural approachs may "work" for a time but they do not cure either and there is nothing to back them up. If the kid was 16, 17 or 18 and chose not to do chemo that is his preogative I would say, but at 13 a child, especially a boy, cannot comprehend the chance he is taking, and undoubtly will die. Yes a miracle could happen, but again that is why they are called miracles, they don't happen very often. ---I have said all I will say on this, bash away, stick a fork in me as I am done.
Mildly racy ad, but it doesn't even begin to
qualify as 'porn'! If I objected to the ad (which I DON'T), then I would simply avert my eyes and not buy that brand of jeans.
