See, I'm the same way. The true father or mother tends to be more in tune with their kids. Sometimes that's not the case but more often than not it's the "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" that does the damage.

I've been lucky that my Mom watches him while I work. But a few times I have had to get a babysitter for him. I've always tried to find someone I trust and have known for awhile.

That's why my jobs have been put on hold. Since I left the borg, my friends and family left me as well and I can't trust just anyone.

the first baby was only 11 months old.

he died because of the mom's boyfriend couldn't handle the baby crying.

And I'm sickened!!!!

The first baby was only 11 months old. He died because of the mom's boyfriend couldn't handle the baby crying. The second was a two year old who died from her OWN mom beating her.

What is happening to all these moms????

If anyone touched my babies I'd be in prison for killing the one in charge (hence why I DON'T date). I don't have a decent job at the moment because I'm too scared of letting my daughter be with a stranger. She's only 3 so I'm waiting until she's 5 (when in school) before I start my career.

Sorry, my babies aren't with me at the moment and I always worry about them when they aren't here in my face. I do trust my ex...but I still feel better when they are here with me. I love my kids more than life itself and I can't understand why some parents are so stupid not being careful or being the actual abuser.

I don't normally watch the news but nothing else is on and I'm trying to take a break from my homework. (let me see what games I can find on the computer...hmmmm)

When someone is suicidal they say they should talk but...

by FreedomFrog in

jw

when the person is so low in spirit and they try to talk, all they hear "quit being a baby and suck it up".

or they over hear ones say about another people that is depressed "oh, they are just saying this for attention".. i was thinking about all of this because of two things.

when my friend jen took her life last month she was so depressed and none of us knew.

But the higher risk is there for your friend. If she won't answer the phone - go visit. If she won't answer the door send a letter or leave a note. Or say through the door that you won't leave until she opens the door.

I thought her risk was higher. She and Jen were like sisters. She's taking it pretty hard. I just talked with her Tuesday and she seems very down. I asked her when she was going to see a professional to help her through the loss (she even knows she should go) but she just can't get motivated because she feels better alone.

I just text messaged her moments ago so I'll see if she'll respond. If not I may be taking a trip out to her house. She tends to not answer her phone but will text message back.

I don't think she would do something aweful like that but then again I didn't think Jen would either. (long sigh)

Thanks eclipse...

This wasn't really started because of my friend Jen, it's more for one of my other friends. Since the ordeal last month, my other friend is really hitting a low spot. I asked her about it and she said she's just a "loner" and didn't want to talk. I can see she's hurting very bad and I have no idea how low she is. I do fear if she gets any lower she may end up like Jen. She doesn't have a husband and she's told me before she's feels lonely and depressed. I've called her and she won't answer the phone. I do worry about her.

I was thinking about all of this because of two things. When my friend Jen took her life last month she was so depressed and none of us knew. I watched documentation on TV about a gal who lost her husband and she became an alcoholic and very depressed. She took bunches of Trazadone which put her in a coma. After she came back from the coma, her mom, sisters, friends talked about her just doing it to "get attention". She is now a recovered alcoholic and is making things better for herself but non of her family and friends come around.

So when a friend is truly suicidal but will not say things about it because they know how most will react...how can we as friends know they are in the danger zone?

Edit: added too many "m's" in "coma"...

i can't make enough money to pay my bills, and i attend school full-time 17 hours and work part-time at jamba juice 15 hours per week.

this is only giving me $375.

thats just enough to cover rent.

Cut costs. Buy a 5 dollar pair of rabbit ears. No eating out and look for discounted day old foodstuffs (we do and it's perfectly good).

This is a good suggestion. We also eat ramon noodles quite often to cut expenses down. My shopping list normally consists boxed things such as spaghetti, ramon noodles, frozen veggis (since they last longer than fresh veggis), sometimes chicken (if I have enough money), powder milk, lots of cheep cereal such as cheerios, powdered eggs and things like this. With just the few items I've listed I can make an awesome meal for all three of us pretty cheap.

If you are not a person to cook you may have to learn how to cook since that is the cheapest way to have meals.

I also shop at Aldi's or Save-A-Lot more than I do any other stores. The Dollar stores sometimes have name brand deodorants/shampoos/and other things that are more expensive even at stores like Wal-mart.

If you're going to a traditional college can you transfer your credits to an online schooling? Make sure you get in with a good creditable college though before you just sign up online if you go that route. Online schools are a bit more flexible with time just as long as you turn in your assignments on time. Then you can put more hours in at your job or change jobs that will give you more hours.

Also, I live in a very small apartment. I have to admit I do not have any health insurance because I can't afford it either. I'm just crossing my fingers I don't get sick or need to stay in a hospital for any reasons. To get insurance for me is over $150 which is more than I can handle at this moment. Fortunately my kids are covered under their dad's insurance until they are 18.

It's tight but I manage through each month.

My loans are being paid through two kinds of student loans (I can't remember which ones now). Though, I'm not sure if that's an option or not because I got my loans being a single mom of two small children.
