i think one person should start a story and the next person continue it and see where it lands up. im not that clever at writing a story that has a beginning and a end and point to it, so if i start a story with some very clever words......

Do You Feel You're Living Your Life or Someone Elses?

the more i live this life the more i come to the conclusion that this life doesn't belong to me entirely.

i am constantly brought to the realization that i'm living living in the footsteps of my father.

i never really understood what he was going thru until i got to be an adult.

i feel im living my own life - but hey, we get like those we live with. Our parents have a huge influence on who we become. We copy what we see. Thats true in our adult relationships as well. I used to be married to a real miserable git and I became one myself. I also worked with people who swore all the time. it shocked me at first. but then i started to swear myself and it became the norm.

if you want to be a particular person, you have to surround yourself by the type of people you want to be like.

i want to be a young, beautiful, millionaire........i think im keeping the wrong company!

Not Having Kids in 'This System....'

one of my former bs conductors and her husband decided when they got married, they wouldn't have any kids 'in this system'.

i know the world could be better, but i see no reason not to have children if that's what your wishes really are....and you're able to for that matter.

she just turned 34 and really wants to have a child.

if id known how hard teenage kids can be, i wouldnt have had them in any system !

who here has gay children?

by gotcha in

...is it ok?

did you try to stop them?

(please consider coming from a very conservative background/culture)..relatives/friends talking about it, possible trauma which may be caused by society's discrimination...

Hi

My ex husband is gay, now living with his partner and we are very good friends. we grew up together, got married young, had a child, then in our early 20's he told me he was gay. he had known from being a young teenager but thought it was just a phase he was going through, so married me to try and push it away. it didnt work.

you have to let your kids choose their own path and support them whatever they choose. well thats how i feel anway. My ex husband who has been living with his partner now for 15 years, says it is not an easy life, even in this day and age of acceptance. he loved being a family man and lost all that, which he will always regret. said he always wanted to fit it and now, much of the time, he doesnt, which makes him sad.

but he accepts who he is now and gets on with it - but he wishes things could have been different.
