My mom left us when I was young. Dad stayed, but remarried a monster and they were both highly abusive. I'm in my 30's and still have nightmares. I just want to get past this. I've done years of counseling but haven't gotten any real closure. Is there a way to forgive or be able to move on?

There was a home invasion near a college campus in my town and the gunman and one of the residents of the home were killed. The resident was a beautiful college student. She was also an identical twin who was never seen without her sister, and you couldn't tell them apart. I can't imagine how hard its going to be for her twin and her parents to see her face for the rest of their lives. Thats got to be a unique and strange and horrible experience. Such a sad occurrence.

I don't care how many people tell me that sociiety does not judge single moms. Liars. I get judged because ai am a single mom.

Tonight. My 12 year old went to a youth group function. I drove her and another child. I was the only parent who left and ran errands. I do not enjoy spending time with the pta moms.

ARGH!!! Teenage girls......HAPPY ONE MINUTE, NEXT MINUTE EVERYTHING IS ALL MY FAULT!?!???!!

A friend on FB posts picture of her DD1, which is fine she's soo cute! But every picture the poor child is surrounded by this colorful baby fencing/cage thing. And the few pictures she posts from when they are outside, she is in a portable playpen. I feel like that child has no freedom. She doesn't even crawl. It's sad to me.

Ladies, I need your help. About 3 or 4 weeks ago, I started having tingling pain in my breasts (the feeling you get when lactating) it went away about 2 weeks ago, and I was like cool. But then about a week ago, my breasts started to hurt. Like bruised hurt. When I lean over they feel sore and when I touch them, the pain does not get any more intense, but it still hurts. I'm not really sure what this is all about. I was on Nuvaring (vaginal birth control) for about 2 1/2 years and got off about 8 months ago or so. I am just barley getting my periods back, about 50 days or so.

my suburban hell? Moms are all about relationships that serve their purposes--you have a pool? Well, then I'll be nice to you. You can drive my kid to her class? Great, you are my friend. You live in the right neighborhood? Awesome! It is shallow and painful on a daily basis here. I can't meet one single down to earth nice mom.

I used to get told that I should model. I realize that it is a compliment, but I had more brains than looks all along.

Saw my son today: I miss him so much I can't even express. Soon as he was done with school he was gone. Just gone. To his dad's. This is SO hard. I miss him so much every single day. Every day. He misses me too. He hugged me so hard. But he's working, he's enrolled in college, he's doing alll the right things. But I miss him. *cry* I miss him so bad. I'm just having a really REALLY hard time today. I miss my son. So so so so very much. And I miss my dad. He died in January. *crycrycry* I feel like I'm losing everything. And everybody. Boo. *cry*
