I'm hoping I'm gonna wake up from this nightmare.

Hugs to you Freshstart. Your ex sound like a horrible person. At some point I believe your children will realize what he has done to you.

I can't speak from experience as I have always lived in the same area my whole life but my son moved from Illinois to Florida and became terribly homesick and came back home after 4 months. i know...

I just had my first grandson three weeks ago. So yes I get what you're saying that they are the parents not you and you can't push your opinion on them as I recall people doing when I was a new...

I have nothing to add. I'm just sorry freshstart that you are having to deal with all this.

I know this doesn't address all the issues of being single but I have attended weddings as a guest of a single girlfriend of mine. Sometimes people bring their kids as their guests. Personally I wish...

I"m kinda there right now too. Realizing I usually chose the safe road. The thing I regret is that I didn't just go with the flow but instead fought to keep things comfortable. Caregiving I never...

I have had friendships dye when I realized I was the only one reaching out. I would keep joining meetups. In my area there are a lot of them. I recently started going to unitarian universal church. I...

I always appreciate everyone's input. I've been through the whole drug and alcohol addiction and recovery with other members. And actually so has my son. This is not as disruptive as other addictions...

Yea I think it's an addiction. He doesn't seem to have any interest in doing anything else. Not sure how to help him.

Okay thinking back, I AM the only one of her kids who shaved their head or went in a mosh pit (at 45 even) or has a tattoo. I can't really do much about how awesome I am like that! ...

Yes he does live with me which is fine because he works and pays me rent. My concern is he doesn't seem interested in doing anything else. Well that's cool Zoe Girl about your friends meeting on the...

This thread seems like a continuation of the "Oh Mother" one.

Yea I know. I don't want to be like that.

My 23 year old son works and plays video games. Last night I asked why he doesn't want to have friends or a girlfriend. We have had these kind of conversations before or I should say I have he...

Thanks everyone for your input. Xmac you said when I questioned what did I discover? Well I think my need for acceptance trumps doing what I feel is right.

Even if it doesn't turn out as you expected I think you'll regret it if you don't give it a chance. This is a major change so I think the reaction you're having is normal.

Is taking your daughter with you an option?

I have made moral choice not to kill bugs. Sending them back outside instead. Yesterday I was at an elderly man's house. There was a wasp flying around. He told me to spray it with bug spray as he is...

Well I don't believe the report

Sounds like a great trip. curious how much you end up spending.

I do think this was a hard call on the zoo's part. But CathA I agree with you about zoos. It's a enslavement. Animals are just here for our pleasure. I think I'm gonna look into what I can do to make...

You dont have to spend large amounts of time with him. You can make it clear that your opinions differ, which I'm assuming you have. I like the idea that he was placed there by god. I will try to...

Well you are right she is taking up too much time in my head.

Oops I'm sorry that was Iris Lilies that posted that.

Well yes this is about the roommate. She and her daughter have been gone since November. I've just been holding on to some resentment towards her for bad mouthing me while she lived here free of...
