Because the suicide/depression/addiction rate among people who have lived through this experience is so high, if they manage to live through it, they are indeed survivors. There are more ways to end a “life” than “death” and living with fear, guilt and shame are some of them.

Me too.

And this is crucial, you have to be the parent, not the friend. The parent has to make the tough decisions and stick to them. Don’t waver on this or all is lost.

No need to teach that, its purely instinct.

Here is a piece of advice for you. There is no such thing as the perfect parent, and ignore those who will criticize your parenting (usually people who have no children or were such dreadful parents their children hate them). Do the best you can, cut yourself some slack for making mistakes so long as you try to fix…

If anyone says they are going to harm themselves if you don’t send nudes, let them.

I don’t care about appearing ridiculous (helps keep the coworkers from getting too close, “just in case”) so I am all for trying anything that might work. I hope it does!

I sold my Mustang when I was pregnant for the same reason, and I cried like a little girl when it pulled out of the driveway. My only consolation was (and is) I will get another one some day, but not until the kid is gone and wont ever ask to drive it (because the answer would be “Oh Hell No”).

Why would a driverless truck need a sleeper unit, which appears to be whats pictured? This is going to really confuse the truck stop hookers.

The calendar says “No”, but what may have happened that day (or night), I do not know. Probably not, as she said he ignored her for a long time, being a lowly high school girl and all.

Hi McMike. :)

My dad had a hot ‘55 Chevy and was visiting his little sister who had some of her high school friends over. One of the high school girls said “Hey nice car”.

I mentor young professional women, and the advice I give them is to never, ever date a coworker. It just does not turn out well. The general perception by others in the company of the employees involved when such an event occurs, is that the guy is a stud/player, but, the woman is perceived as a slut (regardless of…

I kept wondering who it was that EM reminded me of, and then it just hit me....

If each of our “Hells” is personalized to suit how we lived our lives, then this guy will understand the meaning of BOHICA pretty damn quickly.
