    • Good Luck

      From Admiral July 27

      Perparation H - reduces burning and swelling. Over the counter woman product - perferable non scented: EVE's Clense wash and/are wipes and/are order nuterlizer spay and are powder. stool softner are fiber drinks vitamun are apple are 4 prunes a day. I perfer fruit flavor fiber powder drink - wal mart has it - lrg containor is aprox $11.00 Epison salt baths soothing and it is know to lesson feet from sweating and foot oder/ Corn starch in powers sooths and asob oders and you may wish to spink a little powders into seat of your undies and take unsented baby wips w you so after 2 to 4 hrs you can remove the powder from your hinny and apply preparation h - which pks are now available in travel size I use preperation h tube cream for internal tears and peperation h wipe on external area. In addtion to toilet paper after bm also use baby wipe to clean any residue. And when at home wear light weight boxer shorts and try to get up and creat wind draft as you go to refg during tv commercial. Am so gratful that am not a truck driver- thats an ouch situration Oh i recently read that fissure( fissure being a tear) surgery - will the results are no longer able to control the bowels. its worst in woman than men. We can live thur flar ups and enjoy times that arnt hot and bothersome and stay away from tabassco sauses. And limit intack of soup beans. You may also wish to obtain a hot water bottle. when i feel like i have lodged baby and i cant give birth i use warm water and i use the wond to press ball into moveable shape and i use the wond to navigate and dislodge w/ minimal riping and/are to lesson rawness. When you have excess drainage from hemroids - will i use adult pull up undies and being that am not always given time to tend to my needs as in change. i lay a panty liner inside my diaper - which works. Just incase you dont know panty lines have stay in place tab on them. I personally would not wish to use on my back side w just reg undies - i dont wish for it to craw up and peep out the back of my pants. again incase you didnt know pad and panty lines are shape the same but difrent thickness. some panty liners also have wign tabs to sercure them better in place. the wing wraps over leg opening of your reg not boxer undies and they also have the center tab. slipping in just birthday suit helps too. I use beach towel on top of fitted sheet are comfy comferter folder to fit my side of bed. I almost forgot gental man and ladys; deodorant is not just for our under arms. Hope that these recommendation will be benifitual.

    • I’m With You

      From peaceonearth1959 July 18

      I have a similar circumstance. Don't change who you are because you are being mistreated. Children today have no respect for parents, grandparents, teachers, etc. I understand what you are going through. I ask for the same respect and agree with what you are advocating. She should be changing as she gets older and raises a family. She may have a daughter some day that treats her just like this. She will only understand what she did to you when this occurs. You are not alone. Many parents suffer like this. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

      From joinnj July 11

      I just happened to read your journal and feel your pain. I am going thru the same agony and started a group for parents estranged from their children. (more like children who are ingrates). I decided that I did the best I know how and wont punish myself any longer needing their validation.
