She will figure it out eventually and likely be quite brokenhearted for a while. She is lucky to have a friend who cares so much. If you ever just need to vent about it you can always send me a PM and I'll listen. I know how rough it is to support someone when you think they are making all the wrong choices but to tell them such means you will just be ignored or ruin a friendship.Quote:

Just tonight, Tom was teaching our son to ride his bike while I spent some alone time with our daughter. Other nights we will sit and play Candy Land or watch a movie as a family. Well not my girl, she's too young at only 9 months but she gets her time too. I really cherish these moments and I can't understand how so many people don't seem to.Quote:

I guess its the whole childish innocence!
has anyone ever had a day when they go through contentedness to anger for no reason, then to sadness for no reason, then to haooiness with no reason, then contentedness and through the entire cycle all in the matter of around 2 minutes for around half an hour, what is that called
If you were a woman i would have told you its hormones!:pQuote:

This sounds like everyday for me. I would say it was homones since I'm a girl, but the truth is I'm just that tempermental. I get into rages for no real reason and then they turn off like someone flipped a light switch. It may be hormones, but I've decided that in most ways my rage is what drives me in life. The only ones safe are the people I love. Otherwise, sometimes when I see someone I hate them on sight, but I have no idea why. It is just all consuming and uncontrolable. In your case, I think you may be feeling all of those things, but rather than feeling them all at once your mind is shifting through them. Each is given a spotlight, instead of finding a medium.Quote:

Teens tend to not get enough sleep, their bodies need about 12 hours a day. When you’re not sleeping enough and living on pizza and French fries two staples for teens it’s hard to feel emotionally balanced.Quote:

silent x, those foods you listed are on my top favorites.... :)
Eat a big taco salad and drink plenty of water, take a hot shower and go to bed. Then sleep as long as you can. It might make you feel much better! Just think of how you might feel if you were able to jog around the block first! You could take over the world:thumbs_upQuote:

My best friend is ruining her life. She has been having all sorts of marriage and financial trouble in the last year. Now things seem to just keep getting worse. Her mom took her daughter away, even though she is the one who supports the family. Her house is in forclosure, and her marriage is in the divorce process. We talk tonight and she tells me she is hanging with a guy who just got back out of prison. He was in for 9 years, out for a while and then something smaller put him back for 8 months because of his previous record. Plus he is nuts, and not in a good way. He went ballistic on his ex girlfriend for breaking up with him and that is what landed him in prison the first time. Her mom has gotten a place to stay, but she is getting state aid to help only because she has temporary custody of her granddaughter. Now, I'm told she isn't even going to fight her mom for custody because it would put her mom on the street:flare: Her mom has been meddleing and causing problems in my friend's life for as long as I can remember and she just keeps letting it happen. She let her mom take her daughter for a made up reason and now she is letting her guilt her into not regaining custody. Instead she will wait 2 years until her mom can get social security and afford to live on her own. What is worse, I keep feeling like if I had been there to help and support her none of this would be happening :bawling: I don't know what to do to help out or if there is even anything I can do. All I could do was advise she get her daughter back and not allow her mom to manipulate her into giving her up. Arrgh! I'm so aggravated and upset I just don't know what to do anymore.
thats crap. i dont know how to help you. All i can suggest is that maybe you get her over to your side of the country and help her gett on her feet. Light a fire under her bum and make her get her child back.
Also you need to stop putting the weight of your friends problems on to yourself. you have enough to deal with. but i do think you should get her nearer to you and away from crazy man from prison.
