Thank you, I think I will contact an abuse organization and see if there is someone I can talk to. And what not to say is as important as what to say, you're right. I just feel at such a loss here. We have offered everything to help her change her life and she just won't take it. And we are moving to a different state…

Thank you. Your advice seems quite sound and I appreciate it. It just seems like I should be doing more for her. Like I want to swoop in and take care of her like I did when she was a toddler. I know I can't though. I have been trying to keep the communication open with her tho. Like you said, even if I don't agree…

Please Jezzies, I need some help. My 20 year old daughter is in an abusive relationship. I don't know what to do or say anymore. The boyfriend has kicked her and my little grandbaby out of their apt multiple times. Left them on the side of the road at night on a bad side of town. Doesn't share any money with her even…

I love Ms. Chapman, she is just so damn beautiful in every way.

This is how I see it too. But apparently my in laws have a different idea and didn't tell us until 8 years into the marriage when apparently a ton of anger had built up around the situation. Like FIL used the F word to hubs about it. I'm weirded out by the whole thing.

Thanks for your comment, you talk to and get together with your in laws much more than I do with mine or even my own parents. Yeah they are boomers. And they have a super super close relationship with my husband's younger brother an his wife. Like waaaay too close for my comfort. They go on cruises together, vacation…

Awesome find thank you! It's just everything.

Jeez that sounds rough with your mom.
Can I ask you do you call your MIL or does she call you? Or both? My in laws never ever call me. They don't often return emails either. So I'm wondering what's up with the demand that I call her? They don't call me either.

I was not aware of it until this weekend and we have been married 8 years so. If it's a thing I didn't pick up on it. But I am kind of socially awkward.

I only talk to my own parents a few times per year. And we only see each other on holidays usually. We like each other. But we are all adults living lives. So the fact that I am supposed to call my MIL more often than that didn't occur to me.

This is so funny that this article came up today. This weekend my husband got cussed out by his dad bc apparently I don't call my mother in law enough. Calling your mother in law? I'm doing it wrong.

God I hope so! Because my 30s were tumultuous and I really could use some awesome!

It's strange, I'm kinda "oh crap I'm turning 40!!" And then I'm also noticing that what I like to call my bullshit-o-meter now has a hair trigger. So in situations where I used to get walked on (a lot) now my knee jerk reaction is to speak up and call out the BS or whatever. The word No comes out of my mouth so much…

It will come. I'll be 40 this year and I'm finally starting to come into my own. I find myself saying things I never would have said before, and then think "did I just actually say that out loud?!?!" And it feels GREAT!!!!

Yeah or what if the bride was just working up the courage to call off the wedding only to get ambushed by a surprise wedding? Awkward!

Yes time a million!! I don't like ZZ Top but I definitely go crazy for a sharp dressed man. Wowza!

Jesus god thank you for this!!!!!! Hilarious and awesome!

This guy never wanted you. If he did y'all would have been together from the start. He's playing you and probably on some kind of crazy power trip, seeing if he can come between you and your spouse. He's a loser. Yeah stable love is boring. But it's constant and true. Your husband wants you, he wants the family you…

I love her too, but then again I am sure I am in hippy territory pretty much all the time. The greatest compliment I ever got was when my grandfather told me I reminded him of her. I don't see it at all, but he's my favorite grandfather and it was sweet of him to say!
And I know it's totally sappy but after LOTR, The…
