  Just wanted to add my .02 here to tell Mouthy that her sense of humor, compassion and genuine love she shows to everyone means alot to me! She is the greatest - and hopefully one day I will be able to be just like her!

  " i wanted to cry but i was too numb inside.

  several days went by, i had my judicial hearing (i think that was sunday), they told me that i was going to be disfellowshipped.

  i accepted that i deserved that.

  You've been through so much pain - I wish I could say the "perfect" thing to make it better, but in truth that can only come for you.

  You seem to be quite spiritually motivated - I would suggest you start there again. Go to a few different churches - you might be suprised and find another that fits quite nicely. Try a few - exploring your spirituality in the fullest extent may also broaden your belief system. If you ignore this side of yourself - it seems to make you unhappy. Don't ignore it any longer. Try to expand your "associations" - join groups or anything to branch out & reach out to people.

  Learn to love yourself - its sounds as if you still carry so much self-worthlessness around with you - relying on your boyfriends should not be paramount to your happiness! You are a beautiful human being with much to offer, realize that and live that.

  and keep posting your story - you've given so much to many here, I'm sure everyone would love to give something back.

  Talked to my dad Sunday morning

  to give you a little background info before i delve into my story.

  my step-dad and mom recently seperated, about a month ago now.

  my dad is taking this real hard because he really does love her and my mom seems to have gone off the deep end.

  Pr - sounds as if your entire family is having quite the struggle. What a wonderful daughter (?) you are to be so considerate of your dad's feelings at this point. The advice you gave your father is good - hopefully he will be able to build some friendships and "reach out" to other people. The diagnosis of cancer can have profound effects on a person - perhaps your mother is just "shell-shocked" at this point, and may in the near future realize your father's love for her.

  My heart goes out to all of you

  HELP!! Earth & Beyond

  by pettygrudger in

  for my son's birthday - we purchased him an interactive internet game called earth & beyond (you download the c.d.

  & then pay a monthly subscription fee for the website).

  anyways - the game worked perfectly until wednesday night when msn crashed for like 6 hours.

Anyways - the game worked perfectly until Wednesday night when MSN crashed for like 6 hours. My son hooked up to the Internet via Compuserve anyways, but the game was faulty at best. Now, everytime we try to play the game online - it boots us out (lose the connection). We've tried everything - and from all diagnostics the hardware's working fine.

  Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this problem? Its quite infuriating.

  If YOUR Child Was A Pedophile, What Would You Do?

  by minimus in

  we have shown an abhorrence to pedophiles, and rightfully so, but how would you view pedophilia if your own son or daughter was either a known pedophile or displayed abnormal feelings for children?

  Love for my children is unconditional - they could be serial killers & I wouldn't stop loving them.

  1st - the age that this abnormal behavior presents would have alot to do with the course of action I took. If still a child, then there's still opportunity to figure out whats wrong & take appropriate steps towards therapy. But, as an adult my child would know right from wrong - and if they don't have the courage to face this problem & deal with it, they deserve whatever justice should be meted out for said perps.

  If my son was an "adult", although it would break my heart I would have to do what I would do if I found ANYONE hurting a child - alert proper authorities and let them decide the best course of action.

  Time for a new Org for THE silent lambs?

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the actions of bill bowen over recent months have lead many to conclude that he is more interested in his organisation, silentlambs, rather than the issue of protecting and supporting the silent lambs.

  as kismet said:the sl.org vehicle has been poorly identified as being of support to victims of abuse rather than it actually being an activist organization intent on changing policy through the media and the courts and public pressure .

  Yes, it does sound like you and your wife will have to make a choice soon, especially as your little ones grow older. This can be extremely difficult to deal with, and I wish you alot of luck.

  Look forward to more of your posts!

  (Golden Girl) - you rant away - this is so difficult!

  I would suggest you invest in an "intercom" so that you don't actually have to be in the same room as hubby's rude & insensitive family. I would say you have the right to do exactly to them what they have done to you - shun them to the fullest extent possible. You going through everything you are right now should not have to put up with them.

  And I agree w/Shakita - she has made excellent points. It is your home, and your husband.
