    About Me

    I'm a 32 yo stay at home mother of two young children. A son who is 5 and a daughter who is 3. I am here in the hopes that I find people that I can relate to in similar circumstances as me. In return, I hope that I will be able to offer advice or share similar experiences to help other parents out there. I enjoy and would like to get into scuba diving, ATV offroading, shopping and traveling. My most prized possession is my family.

        From supportplease Thursday

        I so understand what you are going through with your son. I've seen with my kids that even though they have a reserved nature, using the information in this book has helped them gain incredible confidence and a genuine love for themselves which is so important. Not only does the book have fabulous ideas and activities for the children, but I have gained so much confidence and understanding and I know I have become a better mommy. I'm sure you'll find this book to be an incredible tool to help you better raise your son. Let me know how he and you are doing. I'm rooting for you!

        Thank you... we are still invloved romatically but he does not want the relationship. He is a recovering addict. I know he loves and our son. He just does not love me that way..... he is so very extracted to me and does not a committed bla bla bla..... i treat him with kids gloves because of hie recovery of only three years. We just started a busines together. We are intimate and as far as I know with no one else. I had so many disappoiments in the past with other ex's. I choose the wrong men. He told me that he was going to his dads in other state this weekend and asked if i would change weekend for our son. Something in me said that he lied.. i asked... he went ot vegas.... something deep inside of me says wait it out. I know he has committment issues.... from the start.... I ask god what i should do and the only thing i feel is wait it out. i love this person..... normally i would quikly move on and ruin what is there.... it feels so natural when we are together and with our son.... he agrees.. but i have other children that are not his... i knew deep inside that he lied to me. I am not a weak person and yet I can't mve forward from him.... I have four boys..... a full time job and starting my own busienss that i brought him in on for financial backing. i apoligize for feeling sorry for myself....

        So would I. I spent the late afternnon with a good friend having a few daquries and I didnlt want the fun to stop. I spent the entire day in bed locked in my thoughts. I did not make it to work feeling guilty and seriously depressed. I managed to get into a major verbal argument with my youngest sons father who i have not gotten over. I pray everyday that God will help us find our way together. good night

        Reading your reply brought me sooo much ease... now I know that this isn't all in my head!! Yes those quiet times, while comforting, can be just as dangerous as the hectic times. While I often beg for a break from work and the kids, when I get it I don't know what to do w/ it. It's getting to the point now where I can feel it coming on, and I get terribly anxious b/c I haven't yet learned what to do or how to thwart the thoughts. And I want you to know that you don't EVER have to feel like you're overstepping your bounds. I joined this site for help, support advice, encouragement, etc, and I welcome and appreciate ANY feedback that people give me. I have been prescribed Ativan and Klonopin in the past for anxiety. I stopped taking the Ativan b/c I became addicted to it, popping them all day long to keep me in a fog, and I stopped the Klonopin b/c it made me too groggy and unable to function. I'm so dumb, I never considered taking them solely for sleeping. I will try that; that seems like that's all they're good for anyway! At least I won't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night. Thank you SO much for sharing, it really made me feel better!!! Don't worry; we WILL get through this!!!

        omg... Reading your reply about losing your temper was like reading my own story. My kids are 4 and 2 and I've been diagnosed w/ BP. Feels good to know that I'm not the only one.

        I love my kids with all my heart and soul but because of a past incident which has left me with PTSD, I get easily overwhelmed with daily life and most especially, my children. I want to reach out for help because my children deserve the best in life, they deserve to have me be the best mom I can possibly be for them. I know that there are ways that I can help overcome these inner obstacles and that is why I'm here.

        This is a big obstacle for me. I have such a lack of patience that I drive myself crazy! I need to learn to slow down.
